00:00Do you know what everyone saw when they looked at him?
00:03She had buried her husband, was penniless, and was trapped within the cold walls of that old house.
00:10Semiha is a woman resigned to her fate.
00:14When those black, luxury cars entered the neighborhood, everyone became worried about Semiha.
00:20"What will she do alone in this den of wolves?" they said.
00:24The city's darkest, most powerful men were after him.
00:28They were all demanding an accounting for the enormous debt left behind and the lost fortune.
00:35But there was one thing everyone was wrong about, even those powerful men.
00:40That's a huge misconception.
00:43They thought Semiha was just prey that would be frightened and run away from.
00:48But Semiha possessed a mind that had grown through years of silence and a will of iron.
00:55He didn't need brute force or threats to overthrow an empire.
01:02Its greatest strength is what everyone thinks of as an innocent baby memory,
01:08It was that tiny, pink knitted booties, hidden at the very bottom of the chest.
01:14A story of awakening that proves silence is the greatest scream and patience is the sharpest strength.
01:22A woman rising from the ashes, transforming shadows into light.
01:27In this exciting story, don't forget to tell us which country and city you're following us from.
01:33If you're ready, we can move on to our story.
01:37Enjoy watching.
01:46Don't forget to subscribe to the True Stories channel and like the video.
01:56The area in front of the house's wooden door was piled high with dozens of muddy and worn shoes.
02:04The cold air seeping in through the door wasn't enough to dispel the heavy smell of rose water and dampness inside.
02:10The old stove in the corner had burned its last logs, leaving only a faint crackling sound.
02:16The young woman clasped her calloused hands together on her knees and adjusted the black headscarf she wore.
02:24His eyes were dry, his gaze vacant.
02:27Everyone was crying, but she only felt the deep emptiness in her stomach.
02:33Her husband's portrait was attached to the edge of the cracked mirror hanging on the wall.
02:38The man in the photograph was smiling, but the young woman remembered the threat behind that smile, the screams that echoed within the walls of that house.
02:47An elderly woman sat down next to him, placed her hand on his shoulder, and swayed.
02:52"What a good man he was, he wouldn't even hurt an ant," she said.
02:56The young woman slowly turned her head.
02:59He looked into the old woman's moist eyes.
03:02That's right, he said.
03:03His voice was so low that even he could barely hear it.
03:08The crowd inside, the women in black, and the old men in the corner counting their prayer beads, were like actors in a summer theater.
03:16The young woman looked at her little son, who was sitting at the other end of the room with his knees drawn up to his stomach.
03:22The child's sweater had short sleeves, and his wrists were red from the cold.
03:27She hadn't yet fully come to terms with her father's absence, only shrinking over the unease caused by the crowd in the house and her mother's silence.
03:38The crowd gradually began to disperse.
03:40As each person who left took their share from the pile of shoes in front of the door, the house grew quieter and colder.
03:48Lastly, her husband's mother, the elderly mother-in-law, stood at the door.
03:54He struck his cane hard on the ground.
03:56"We buried my son, what are you going to do now?" he said.
04:01The young woman held onto the door frame.
04:03"God is great, we'll find a solution," he said.
04:06The old woman frowned and looked at her daughter-in-law.
04:10He has debts, he ruined everything and left.
04:14This house is mortgaged.
04:16Did you know? he said.
04:18The young woman swallowed.
04:19A lump formed in his throat.
04:21"I didn't know," he said.
04:23Without waiting for an answer, the old woman turned around and walked down the dark street.
04:29When the door closed, the young woman leaned her back against the cold wood and slumped to the floor.
04:35His legs could no longer support him.
04:38The little boy, who was standing in the middle of the room, came over to his mother.
04:42"Mom, when will Dad come?" she asked.
04:46The young woman stroked her son's hair.
04:49His hands were trembling.
04:51My son won't come.
04:53"He's gone," he said.
04:55The child looked with uncomprehending eyes.
04:58Where did he go?
05:00"Will he bring us bread?" he asked.
05:02This question pierced the woman's heart like a knife.
05:07Bread.
05:09There wasn't a single morsel of bread left in the house.
05:11Those who came for the funeral ate pastries and halva, drank tea, but left behind only dishes and crumbs when they left.
05:20The loose change found in her husband's pocket was barely enough for his burial expenses.
05:26The young woman stood up.
05:28The young woman stood up.
05:28She headed towards the kitchen.
05:30The kitchen was the coldest place in the house.
05:33She opened the cupboards.
05:34Empty jars, a can of tomato paste with mold at the bottom, and half a packet of dry pasta.
05:40There was nothing else.
05:41He took a deep breath.
05:44She looked out the window at the wet pavement illuminated by the street lamp.
05:48The rain had started again.
05:50Her husband's death was said to be a traffic accident.
05:53A van with malfunctioning brakes.
05:54But the young woman noticed her husband's recent restlessness,
05:58He knew about the phone calls he received in the middle of the night and his frequent visits home drunk.
06:03Something was wrong.
06:05But that wasn't what she was thinking about now.
06:08Now all he had to think about was making it to tomorrow.
06:13He put his son to bed.
06:15She covered herself with the blanket.
06:17The child's breath was evaporating in the cold room.
06:21The young woman returned to the living room.
06:23She walked towards the coat rack where her husband's jacket was hanging.
06:26The jacket still smelled of cigarettes and cheap cologne.
06:30He checked his pockets.
06:31Perhaps, just perhaps, there was a banknote forgotten somewhere, he hoped.
06:36The right pocket was empty.
06:38There was only a used handkerchief in the left pocket.
06:41He checked the inside pocket.
06:43He found a stiff piece of paper in his hand.
06:46He took out the paper.
06:47It was a receipt from a pawn shop.
06:50The date was just one day before her husband's death.
06:54"Gold necklace" was written on the receipt.
06:56The young woman brought her hand to her neck.
06:59Her husband had taken the delicate necklace, which she had worn at her wedding and which belonged to her own mother, saying he was going to take it for repair.
07:06So he had sold it.
07:07For the first time, a single tear rolled down her cheek.
07:10Not from sadness, but from anger.
07:12What did she do with the money after selling the necklace?
07:14He woke up before sunrise the next morning.
07:16The house was freezing.
07:18Without waking the child, he put on his old, thick coat.
07:21He went out into the street.
07:23He had to go to the neighborhood grocery store.
07:25But it had no face.
07:26The ledger of outstanding debts was already overflowing.
07:28Still, he had to try his luck.
07:30The grocery store's shutters were just opening.
07:33The grocer was a middle-aged, pot-bellied man.
07:36His smile faded when he saw the young woman.
07:39"My condolences, my daughter," he said.
07:42The young woman bowed her head.
07:44"Thanks to my friends," he said.
07:46There was a moment of silence.
07:48"Could I have two loaves of bread and some olives?" he asked.
07:52The grocer reached for the ledger of outstanding debts on the counter.
07:56My daughter, my late father had a lot of debt.
07:58I can't write any more.
08:00"The boss is angry," he said.
08:02The young woman froze in place.
08:05Shame burned his face like fire.
08:08Without saying a word, he turned his back.
08:11She felt her legs trembling as she left the grocery store.
08:14He couldn't go home empty-handed.
08:16When her son woke up, he would say "Mom, bread."
08:19He walked towards the bakery at the edge of the neighborhood.
08:22In front of the bakery, there would be a basket where the stale bread from the previous day was kept.
08:26Perhaps he could buy something cheap there.
08:29When he got to the oven, he saw that the basket was empty.
08:33Just then, a luxurious black car drove past on the street next to the bakery.
08:38The car slowed down and stopped level with the woman.
08:41The window slowly came down.
08:42Inside, there was a well-dressed man wearing dark sunglasses.
08:47The man looked at the woman carefully.
08:50"Are you the driver's wife?" he asked.
08:53The young woman recoiled in fear.
08:55Who are you? he asked.
08:57The man took off his sunglasses.
09:00Her eyes were cold and distant.
09:02My husband was going to leave me something to keep.
09:05He didn't deliver it.
09:06"Where is that entrusted item?" he asked.
09:08The young woman shook her head from side to side.
09:11I don't know.
09:12I know nothing about it, he said.
09:15The man examined the woman's face.
09:17Then he pulled a business card from his jacket pocket and tossed it at the woman's feet.
09:21"If you remember or find him, call me, otherwise that house will collapse on you," he said.
09:28The car sped away.
09:30The young woman looked at the business card on the floor.
09:33It only had a phone number on it.
09:35There was no name.
09:36He bent down.
09:37He took the business card and put it in his pocket.
09:40Fear had overtaken hunger.
09:42He returned home running.
09:44He locked the door and bolted it.
09:47He leaned his back against the door and caught his breath.
09:49At that moment, his son's voice came from inside.
09:52Mom, I'm hungry.
09:54The young woman went to the kitchen.
09:56She put water in the teapot on the stove.
10:00I waited for it to boil.
10:01He found some leftover tarhana at the bottom of a jar at the very back of the cupboard.
10:05He simply mixed it with water and started boiling it.
10:08There was no oil, no tomato paste.
10:11Just water and a slight smell of um.
10:13He poured the soup into a bowl and took it inside.
10:16His son dipped the spoon in and grimaced.
10:19"This is unpleasant," he said.
10:21The young woman sat down next to her son.
10:24Eating this will make you stronger.
10:26Heroes drink soups like this, he said.
10:29The child believed his mother and started drinking the soup.
10:33He didn't leave the house until evening that day.
10:36When evening came, there was a loud knock on the door.
10:39The young woman flinched.
10:40He took his son in his arms.
10:42The door was knocked on again, harder this time.
10:44Who is it? he said.
10:46There was no sound from outside.
10:47Simply a white envelope was slipped under the door.
10:52The young woman approached the envelope.
10:55With trembling hands, she took the envelope.
10:57It didn't have a name on it.
10:59He opened the envelope.
11:01Inside, there was some money and a note.
11:03The note was handwritten and read as follows:
11:06Not hush money, but conscience money.
11:09Find out what your husband is doing.
11:12Just live.
11:13He clutched the money in his hand.
11:16This money would last them a month.
11:18But who had sent it?
11:20From the man this morning?
11:21Or was she one of those responsible for her husband's death?
11:24Was using the money tantamount to complicity in a crime?
11:27But the image of his son's hungry gaze flashed before his eyes.
11:31Pride did not fill hungry stomachs.
11:33He put the money in his pocket.
11:35That night, after her son had fallen asleep, she opened the chest where her husband kept his old belongings.
11:41Perhaps he could find a clue.
11:43At the very bottom of the box, he found a metal box wrapped in old newspaper.
11:48He opened the box.
11:50Inside were a rusty key with numbers on it, and a photograph—things he had never seen before.
11:56In the photo, her husband was smiling and posing with another woman and a baby in her arms.
12:02There was a date and a name written on the back.
12:06Leyla 2018
12:09The young woman dropped the photograph.
12:11In 2018, during the months she claimed to be out of town for work, her husband was living a different life.
12:18So who was that baby?
12:20And what did this key unlock?
12:22Just then, the sound of glass breaking came from outside.
12:27The living room window had shattered into a million pieces when a stone was thrown at it.
12:31The paper wrapped around the stone had the following written in red ink:
12:36Stop searching!
12:37The young woman lay amidst the broken glass, holding in her hand the evidence of her husband's betrayal.
12:44He was left stranded in the darkness with money in his pocket, the source of which was unknown.
12:49This was just the beginning.
12:51The struggle for survival was now turning into a real war.
12:55The wind that rushed in through the broken window was making the curtain in the middle of the room flutter like a ghost.
13:03The young woman had locked her son in the bedroom and was trying to cover the broken window with a thick piece of cardboard she had found.
13:12He didn't care about the shards of glass that were digging into his hands.
13:16The pain in her body paled in comparison to the fear in her heart.
13:19He taped the cardboard to the window sill and took one last look at the darkness outside.
13:27There was no one on the street.
13:30Only the whistling of the wind and the distant sound of a guard's whistle could be heard.
13:36He didn't dare turn on the light.
13:38In the dark, he grope his way around, sweeping away the broken glass on the floor.
13:43As each piece jingled and filled the orb, she thought about how her husband's life had been shattered in the same way.
13:51That man, the man in the black car, and the threatening note—it all felt like parts of a nightmare, but unfortunately, when I woke up...
14:00It wouldn't pass.
14:01When morning came, the faint light filtering through the cardboard-covered window revealed the squalor inside the house more clearly.
14:09The young woman washed her face in the kitchen sink.
14:13She looked in the mirror.
14:14Her eyes had dark circles under them, and her cheekbones were even more prominent.
14:20By the way, we forgot to mention...
14:22We keep calling her "the young woman," but she has a name, of course.
14:26Her name is Semiha.
14:29As Semiha looked at her weary reflection in the mirror, she felt that she now had to be not only a mother, but also a hunter.
14:39If he wasn't the prey, his son would be.
14:43He took the money out of his pocket.
14:44That money slipped under the door last night.
14:47He counted.
14:48There were enough banknotes to support a family for two months.
14:53Spending this money meant allowing that unknown man to ease his conscience.
14:58But Semiha didn't have the luxury of being proud.
15:01First he had to satisfy his hunger, then he had to untangle this knot.
15:07He woke his son up and dressed him.
15:09"Where are we going, Mommy?" the child asked.
15:12While tying the child's shoes, Semiha said, "We're going on a treasure hunt, son."
15:18The child's eyes lit up.
15:20Playing games was the best way to make him forget his father's absence.
15:24They left the house.
15:25His first order of business was to go to the glassmaker and give him the measurements for the broken window.
15:29He paid the money upfront.
15:31Then she took the rusty key that had come out of her husband's trunk out of her pocket.
15:35The letters TCDD and the number 104 were faintly engraved on the key.
15:41This was the key to the lockers at the train station.
15:44In the final weeks before her husband died, she often left the house saying she had work to do at the station.
15:51So his job was related to the contents of that cupboard.
15:55They boarded a bus to go to the city's historic train station.
15:59The sky was overcast, and a light rain was beating against the windows.
16:04Semiha hugged her son tightly in her arms.
16:07As the bus passed through the city's crowded streets, Semiha looked at every black car with suspicion.
16:13He still had the man's business card in his pocket.
16:16But searching for him was like entering a lion's den unarmed.
16:19First, he needed to have a trump card.
16:22When they arrived at the station, it was as crowded as usual.
16:26Passengers, suitcases, bagel vendors, and the sound of whistles.
16:30Semiha blended into the crowd and headed towards the locker area.
16:34His heart was pounding against his rib cage.
16:37What if the closet is empty? What if someone is watching them?
16:41He found locker number 104.
16:42It was an old, metal cabinet with peeling paint.
16:46He looked around.
16:47Nobody was looking at him.
16:50With trembling hands, he inserted the key into the lock.
16:53The key was difficult to turn.
16:54The rusted mechanism resisted.
16:57Semiha held her breath.
16:58He applied a little force, and with a click, the lock opened.
17:02She opened the cupboard door slightly.
17:04Inside, there was a medium-sized, black leather bag.
17:08She quickly grabbed the bag, slung it over her shoulder, and closed the cupboard.
17:11The bag was heavy.
17:13He should have gotten away from there immediately.
17:15He went into the waiting room in a secluded corner of the station.
17:18While her son watched the trains through the window, Semiha took the bag onto her lap and unzipped it.
17:25What came out of the bag chilled Semiha to the bone.
17:29There weren't stacks of money.
17:30Instead, he had a thick-covered notebook, a voice recorder, and a pair of baby booties.
17:36A pink, hand-knitted baby booties.
17:39Semiha picked up the slipper.
17:41That must be the baby's booties in her husband's photo.
17:45So why was he here?
17:47He opened the notebook.
17:48Pages and pages of dates, times, and monetary amounts were recorded.
17:52But what really caught his attention were the photocopies of the title deeds tucked between the pages.
17:58He looked at the names.
17:59They were all names of well-known, wealthy businessmen from the neighborhood and the city.
18:05And on the last page, there was a name and address circled in red pen.
18:11Leyla Yılmaz, Karanfil Street, number 8
18:15Semiha quickly closed the notebook.
18:17Her husband wasn't just deeply in debt; he was clearly involved in a dangerous blackmail game.
18:23This notebook could be the valuable item the man in the black car was looking for.
18:27If so, Semiha was currently holding something dangerous in her hands.
18:32He picked up the voice recorder.
18:34A label that said "Listen" was attached to it.
18:37He put on his headphones and pressed the play button.
18:40Through the crackling of the cassette, her husband's trembling voice could be heard.
18:44If you're listening to this recording, Semiha, it means I'm dead.
18:49I know I hurt you.
18:51But I did all of this for you.
18:53Those men, the loan sharks, wouldn't leave me alone.
18:57Leyla, Leyla is innocent, protect her.
19:01He's paying the price for my mistake.
19:04If you find this, take it to Leyla.
19:06He's the only one who knows where everything is.
19:10The recording ends here.
19:12Semiha angrily pulled off her headphones.
19:15Even as her husband was dying, he asked her to protect another woman, Leyla.
19:19"I did it for you," he said.
19:21But he had thrown Semiha and her son into the middle of the fire.
19:25Anger suppressed fear.
19:27"Take it to Leyla," he said.
19:29So, the key point was that woman.
19:31Semiha closed the bag tightly.
19:34His son came to him.
19:36"Mom, have we found the treasure?" she asked.
19:39Semiha looked at her son with a bitter smile.
19:42"We found the map, son, now we're going to the treasure hunt," he said.
19:46They left the station.
19:47The address was in one of the city's old and dingy neighborhoods.
19:51Although Semiha had the money to take a taxi, she chose to take a shared taxi to avoid attracting attention.
19:57He thought about the names in the notebook all the way there.
20:00Her husband had bitten off more than he could chew.
20:03It was getting dark when they arrived on Karanfil Street.
20:06The streetlights were flickering on and off.
20:08House number eight was an old, two-story Istanbul house with bay windows, but it was in poor condition.
20:14The windows were closed, and the curtains were drawn.
20:17There was no sign of life coming from the house.
20:20Semiha shook her son's hand and approached the door.
20:23He rang the doorbell.
20:25It wasn't working.
20:26He pounded on the door.
20:28Is anyone there? he said.
20:30No sound came.
20:31He pushed the door open.
20:32The door wasn't locked.
20:34It opened with a creak.
20:36Semiha hesitated.
20:38Should he have entered?
20:39But he had no other choice.
20:41He stepped inside.
20:43"Ms. Leyla," he called out.
20:46The corridor was dark and dusty.
20:48There were children's toys on the floor, an overturned vase, and scattered papers.
20:53It was as if a scuffle had taken place here, someone had hastily fled or been forcibly taken away.
20:59Semiha stopped when she reached the door of the hall.
21:02A cradle sat on the floor in the middle of the room.
21:05The cradle was empty.
21:05But the other slipper from Semiha's bag was lying on top of the cradle.
21:11Semiha walked towards the cradle.
21:13Just as she was about to pick up the slipper, she heard a creaking sound from the floorboards behind her.
21:17He quickly turned around.
21:19In the shadow of the corridor stood a young woman with disheveled hair and wildly piercing eyes, holding a knife.
21:27The woman pointed the knife at Semiha.
21:29"Did you take my baby?" she asked.
21:31Semiha raised her hands in the air.
21:34I didn't pick anyone up.
21:35I'm Semiha.
21:36"My husband, my husband asked me to find you," she said.
21:39The woman paused when she heard the name Semiha.
21:41The hand holding the knife trembled.
21:43Is he dead?
21:44"Did they kill him?" he asked.
21:46Semiha nodded.
21:48"He's dead," he said.
21:48The young woman collapsed to the ground and began to laugh hysterically.
21:54Saying he died means he's free.
21:55But he left us here.
21:57They're coming, Semiha.
21:59They took my baby, and now they're coming to take me too.
22:03Just then, the sound of car brakes was heard in front of the house.
22:07The car doors slammed shut.
22:09Semiha ran to the window and peeked through the gap in the curtains.
22:13The black car and the man with the sunglasses.
22:16There were two other people with him.
22:18Semiha turned to the woman who was kneeling on the ground, crying.
22:22"Get up, get up quickly, they've arrived," he said.
22:25The woman named Leyla stared with empty eyes.
22:29We have nowhere to go, he said.
22:31Semiha grabbed the woman's arm and helped her stand up.
22:34He grasped his own son with his other hand.
22:37Yes, he said.
22:39Does this house have a back door?
22:41Leyla nodded.
22:43You can go out into the garden from the kitchen.
22:45Semiha felt stronger than she had ever felt in her life.
22:49The destinies of the two women were now intertwined.
22:52Her husband's betrayal had now become her reason for living.
22:56Run, he said.
22:58As they stepped out into the backyard from the kitchen door, they heard the sound of the front door breaking.
23:03Semiha, Leyla, and their son ran through the barbed wire in the dark garden towards the side street.
23:11The rain had intensified.
23:13They were running, sinking and stumbling through the mud.
23:15Semiha was running breathlessly, without looking back.
23:19But he knew this escape couldn't last forever.
23:23Now he wouldn't just run away, he would fight.
23:25That notebook in her hand could be their end, but it could also be their salvation.
23:33The rain was pouring down as if the sky itself were weeping for the sins committed that night.
23:40Semiha gripped her son's wrist so tightly with one hand that his fingers had turned white.
23:47With his other hand, he was pulling Leyla, who kept slipping and falling down the muddy slope.
23:53Their breaths came in ragged gasps, the cold air cutting into their lungs like a knife.
23:59The barking dogs behind them and the distant sound of sirens only fueled their fear.
24:06This side of the city was filled with demolished and unfinished constructions, all under the guise of urban transformation.
24:13Streetlights never reached this area.
24:16Darkness was both their friend and their enemy.
24:20Semiha took shelter behind a rusty container in the construction site she had spotted.
24:26He said, "Stop."
24:28His voice was lost amidst the noise of the rain.
24:32Leyla knelt down.
24:35Her thin cardigan was soaking wet, and her hair was plastered to her face.
24:40She was trembling.
24:41But she was trembling not from the cold, but from the emptiness in her lap.
24:44"My baby," she muttered.
24:48He must be cold and hungry now.
24:51Semiha sat her son down in a sheltered corner of the container, away from the rain.
24:57Then he turned angrily to Leyla.
25:00He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her.
25:03Come to your senses.
25:04If you break up now, we'll never find that baby.
25:08Can you hear me?
25:09Get up.
25:11Leyla stared at Semiha with empty eyes.
25:14She had seen this woman's face for years in hidden photos on her husband's phone.
25:19She hated him.
25:21But now he was the only one who could save his life.
25:23"Where are we going?" said Leyla.
25:27Semiha looked around.
25:29We have nowhere to go.
25:30At least until morning, we need to stay here, out of sight.
25:35This notebook.
25:36You're going to tell me what's in that notebook.
25:38Deep within the construction site, they found an abandoned shack that resembled a guardhouse, but with broken windows.
25:45The inside smelled of dampness and lime, but at least it was relatively dry.
25:49Semiha made a bed for her son by stacking old cement bags from the corner on top of each other.
25:55Exhausted and frightened, the child immediately curled up and fell asleep.
26:01The two women sat facing each other in the middle of the hut, under the faint moonlight filtering in from outside.
26:07Semiha took the thick-covered notebook out of her bag.
26:11My husband died because of this notebook.
26:14Your baby was kidnapped because of this notebook.
26:17What is this?
26:18He said.
26:18Leyla looked at the notebook with fear.
26:22He didn't dare reach out his hand.
26:25"That notebook is the raven's black box," he said.
26:28Semiha frowned.
26:30"Who is the raven?" he asked.
26:33The man in the black car.
26:35Nobody knows his name.
26:36Everyone calls it a raven.
26:38Because when he comes, death comes too.
26:41Kemal, your husband, was her accountant.
26:45He laundered Raven's dirty money.
26:48But Kemal had recently started to get scared.
26:52He wanted to go to the police.
26:54He kept this notebook to protect himself.
26:56Inside, bureaucrats to whom the raven gave bribes,
27:00Arms shipments, everything's there.
27:04Semiha couldn't believe what she was hearing.
27:06Her husband, whom she thought was just an ordinary driver, was working with the mastermind of the city's darkest criminal organization.
27:13What about the baby?
27:15Why did they take the baby?
27:16Semiha said.
27:18Leyla began to sob.
27:21Kemal hid the notebook.
27:23Raven pressed Kemal to find out where the notebook was.
27:27But Kemal didn't speak.
27:29Then Kemal died.
27:31Or he was killed.
27:33Raven thought I had the notebook.
27:36They arrived home.
27:37When she couldn't find the notebook,
27:38They took my baby.
27:40"Bring the notebook, and take your son," they said.
27:44Semiha squeezed the notebook cover tightly.
27:47This notebook was both a death sentence and a ticket to salvation.
27:52"Kemal left the notebook with me," Semiha said.
27:55His voice was harsh.
27:57Because she didn't trust you.
27:59Or maybe he wanted to protect you.
28:00I don't know.
28:01But there's one thing I know.
28:04If we give them this book, they won't leave either of us alive.
28:07The baby too.
28:09Leyla opened her eyes in horror.
28:12So what are we going to do?
28:14"Am I going to abandon my son to death?" she said.
28:17Semiha stood up.
28:19He looked out into the darkness through the broken window of the shack.
28:23No, we're going to play a game with them.
28:25But we will set the rules.
28:28Meanwhile, miles away,
28:31Leyla's house was not cordoned off by police.
28:34Because the police hadn't come there.
28:36The man in the black car,
28:38Raven was standing in the living room of the house.
28:40His men had ransacked the house.
28:43Raven looked at the muddy shoe prints on the ground.
28:46Then she headed towards the kitchen door.
28:48He saw the bloodstain on the doorknob leading to the garden.
28:52"They escaped," he said.
28:54His voice was ice-cold and calm.
28:56The man next to him bowed his head.
28:58Sir, we've found out who the woman is.
29:01Driver Kemal's legally married wife is Semiha.
29:04Raven adjusted his sunglasses.
29:07A mocking smile appeared on his lips.
29:11Semiha, the housewife.
29:12So she claimed her husband's inheritance.
29:16Find them.
29:17But do not harm the woman.
29:19He has the notebook.
29:20If that notebook burns, we all burn.
29:23When the first rays of morning light spread over the city like a grey blanket,
29:29Semiha and Leyla came out of the barracks.
29:32Semiha's plan was simple, but dangerous.
29:35They were going to contact one of the names in the notebook.
29:38But not to your enemies, but to the enemy of your enemies.
29:42While examining the notebook, one name caught his attention.
29:46A name that hasn't been crossed out; instead, a question mark has been placed next to it.
29:50Journalist Orhan Demir said to Semiha, "We will find this man."
29:56"What if Leyla is one of them too?" she said.
30:00"Then we have nothing left to lose," said Semiha.
30:04They used the back streets to get to the city center.
30:07Semiha removed the headscarf from her head and draped it over her shoulders.
30:10She let her hair down.
30:12He was trying to change his appearance so as not to be recognized.
30:15Leyla was still in shock.
30:17He walked like a ghost.
30:18Semiha's son held his mother's hand, trying to stifle the rumbling in his stomach.
30:23They found a phone booth.
30:25Semiha dialed the number written in the notebook with the change she had in her pocket.
30:29The phone rang for a long time.
30:31Just as I was about to turn it off, a sleepy, deep male voice answered.
30:34"Hello, who is this?" he said.
30:37Semiha took a deep breath.
30:39Kemal's legacy is in my care.
30:41The artifact that Raven is after.
30:43"We need to talk," he said.
30:45There was silence on the other end of the line.
30:48Then his tone changed, he became serious.
30:51Half an hour later, come alone to the tea garden behind the old ferry pier.
30:56The phone hung up.
30:58Semiha turned to Leyla.
31:00"You will look after my son," he said.
31:02Leyla flinched.
31:04"Don't leave me, I'm scared," she said.
31:06Semiha looked into Leyla's eyes.
31:09It was a stern but reassuring look.
31:11That child is in your care until I return.
31:14You couldn't protect your own son, at least protect this one.
31:16If anything happens to me, take the notebook and run.
31:20Go to the police.
31:20Semiha stopped by a stationery shop to get a photocopy of the notebook.
31:25He would never take the original with him.
31:28He placed the original in a secret compartment of his son's backpack.
31:32The old ferry pier was filled with the cries of seagulls and the sound of waves.
31:36The tea garden was deserted.
31:38At the table in the far corner, with his hair and beard all disheveled,
31:41A man wearing an old leather jacket was sitting there, smoking a cigarette.
31:45This was Orhan, the journalist.
31:47Semiha approached the table.
31:49The man lifted his head.
31:51His eyes looked tired but intelligent.
31:54"Are you Kemal's wife?" he asked.
31:56Semiha sat down.
31:57Yes, he said.
31:59Orhan took a deep breath from his cigarette.
32:02Kemal was a good boy.
32:03But he went into the wrong waters.
32:06"Where is the notebook?" he asked.
32:07Semiha placed the envelope she was holding on the table.
32:10This is just a copy, a few pages, the real thing is in a safe place, he said.
32:15Orhan opened the envelope.
32:16His brows furrowed as his eyes scanned the lines of text.
32:20"Oh my God, this, this changes everything," he said.
32:24Then he looked at Semiha.
32:25"Does Raven know you have this?" he asked.
32:28"She's guessing," said Semiha.
32:31They kidnapped the baby.
32:33They want the notebook.
32:34Orhan slammed his fist on the table.
32:37You scoundrels, okay, listen to me.
32:40I cannot publish this notebook.
32:42At least not right now.
32:44If I publish this, they won't let anyone live.
32:47They won't let you live either.
32:49First, we must save the baby.
32:51"How?" said Semiha.
32:54Orhan took a phone out of his pocket.
32:57Ravens understand power.
32:59He told her that he didn't just have the notebook in his hand,
33:02We will also show that copies of this notebook were distributed.
33:06We'll bluff.
33:07But it's a clever bluff.
33:09Just then, there was some activity at the entrance to the tea garden.
33:13Two men in suits entered, looking around.
33:17Orhan held Semiha's hand.
33:20Get up, get up right now.
33:22"You've been followed," he said.
33:24Semiha looked behind her in panic.
33:26The men had seen them.
33:28"Run from the back, from the kitchen exit!" Orhan shouted.
33:33He knocked the table over and pushed it towards the men.
33:36Semiha started running.
33:37His heart was pounding in his chest.
33:39He mingled with the crowd on the pier.
33:41He ran without looking back.
33:43She was breathless when she arrived at the park where she had left Leyla and her son.
33:47But the sight that befell him chilled his blood.
33:50The bench in the park was empty.
33:52He had no son.
33:52Leyla wasn't there.
33:54There was just a piece of paper lying on the bench, fluttering in the wind.
33:59A black feather was drawn on the paper.
34:02A raven feather.
34:04And it said the following below.
34:06Family reunification time.
34:08Semiha collapsed where she stood.
34:10He looked up at the sky and, for the first time, screamed with all his might, his lungs tearing apart.
34:16This was not a cry of defeat.
34:18This was a mother's declaration of war.
34:21He had nothing left to lose.
34:24And a woman who had nothing to lose was the most dangerous creature in the world.
34:30When Semiha, kneeling in the middle of the park, stopped shouting to the sky, only the howling of the wind remained.
34:37Orhan arrived at the park entrance breathless.
34:41He ran to the woman's side.
34:43He grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her.
34:45Get up, he said.
34:47You can't bring them back by crying.
34:50If you break down now, you will never see your son again.
34:53Semiha stared at Orhan with empty eyes.
34:57The expression on his face had transformed from pain to something more than that; it was pure hatred.
35:02He stood up.
35:03Her legs were trembling, but her posture was upright.
35:06"Take me to them," he said.
35:08Orhan took the woman's arm and quickly dragged her towards his car.
35:13It was an old, dilapidated car, reduced to scrap metal.
35:17The engine started with a loud noise.
35:19Orhan took Semiha to an old printing workshop in the back streets of the city.
35:25This was Orhan's safe haven.
35:28The room reeked of ink, paper, and cigarette smoke.
35:32The windows were covered with newspapers.
35:34Orhan seated Semiha in a chair and placed a glass of water in front of her.
35:40Listen to me, said Orhan.
35:43Kuzgun, whose real name is Vedat Karaman, is the unsung king of this city.
35:49She's using the baby and her son as leverage.
35:51He wants the notebook.
35:52But if you give him the notebook, he'll kill you all to eliminate any witnesses.
35:57Do you understand?
35:58Semiha didn't drink the water.
36:00He pushed the glass aside.
36:02"Where is my son?" he asked.
36:03Probably in the warehouses at the old port.
36:06That's Raven's main shipping hub.
36:10They have a large shipment tonight.
36:13Everyone will be there.
36:14"If we're going to sneak in, tonight's the perfect time," said Orhan.
36:19Semiha looked at herself in the dirty mirror of the printing press.
36:22Her headscarf had slipped, and her hair was disheveled.
36:26Her face was like a map of the pain she had endured.
36:28But that face was too innocent, too much of a victim, to be allowed into that warehouse.
36:34It shouldn't have attracted attention.
36:35Or, conversely, it should have diverted attention to the wrong place.
36:39He saw the large scissors lying on the table.
36:43He took her hand.
36:44Orhan looked at her in astonishment.
36:46What are you doing? he said.
36:48Semiha did not answer.
36:50She brought the scissors to her hair.
36:52She cut off her long, black hair that cascaded down her shoulders without hesitation.
36:56With each snip of the scissors, a piece of the weight of the past, of that crushed widow identity, fell to the ground.
37:04Her hair was now very short.
37:06He had a masculine air about him.
37:08She walked past the clumps of hair on the ground.
37:11She opened the closet where Orhan kept his spare clothes.
37:14He bought a pair of baggy trousers, a black turtleneck sweater, and a cap.
37:19When she put on her clothes, the woman in the mirror was no longer Semiha.
37:24He was an unnamed shadow.
37:26"Tell me the plan," he said.
37:28At midnight, the old port area was shrouded in fog and rain.
37:32The stacks of containers formed enormous labyrinths.
37:37Raven's storehouse was a fortress surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by armed men.
37:42Orhan and Semiha stood at a blind spot where the wires were torn.
37:47Orhan checked the walkie-talkie in his hand.
37:50I'm going to cause a scene at the main gate.
37:53I'll activate the fire alarm and get everyone's attention.
37:56In the midst of all that chaos, you'll sneak in through the staff entrance.
37:59You need to find the office inside that says "Management".
38:02The recordings or camera footage are there.
38:04"We can only find out where the children are from there," he said.
38:08Semiha looked into Orhan's eyes.
38:11What if you get caught? he said.
38:13With a bitter smile, Orhan threw his cigarette to the ground and crushed it.
38:17"I wasn't expecting to survive the end of this story anyway," he said.
38:21Orhan disappeared into the darkness.
38:24Five minutes later, a loud explosion was heard from the main gate area.
38:28Then sirens and shouts tore through the night.
38:32The bodyguards started running in that direction.
38:34Semiha didn't miss this opportunity.
38:37He crawled across the muddy ground to the staff door.
38:40The door was ajar.
38:42He slipped inside.
38:43The warehouse was enormous.
38:46There were boxes stacked to the ceiling, forklifts, and workers rushing around.
38:51No one paid any attention to this small, unassuming figure in overalls and a cap.
38:56Semiha moved forward, taking shelter in the shadows.
38:59His heart was pounding in his chest, but his steps were determined.
39:04He saw the glass partition upstairs.
39:06That was the management office.
39:08He climbed the metal stairs silently.
39:11When he arrived at the office door, he could hear noises coming from inside.
39:15The door was slightly ajar.
39:17Semiha held her breath and looked inside.
39:20The room was filled with the man in the black car, the raven, and his two bodyguards.
39:25Raven was examining the maps on the table.
39:28The shipment must be completed tonight.
39:30"That woman, that poor Semiha, if she doesn't bring the notebook by morning, keep the children quiet," said the raven.
39:38Semiha covered her mouth with her hand.
39:40She struggled to keep herself from screaming.
39:43One of Raven's men asked.
39:45Where are the children, sir? Should we bring them to the warehouse?
39:49No, said the raven.
39:51Let them stay in the old cold storage facility.
39:53No sound comes from there.
39:55Cold storage.
39:57Semiha memorized this information.
40:00Just as he was about to back away, his foot hit a metal trash can.
40:04Klang!
40:06The sound echoed through the office.
40:08Raven quickly turned his head towards the door.
40:10Who's there?
40:12He shouted.
40:13Semiha started running without thinking.
40:16He leaped down the stairs into the labyrinthine depths of the warehouse.
40:19Catch!
40:21Don't kick anyone out!
40:22roared the raven.
40:24Semiha dove in among the boxes.
40:26Footsteps and the whizzing of gunfire followed.
40:29A bullet shattered the wooden pallet right next to it.
40:32Semiha hid behind a forklift.
40:35The exit door was very far away.
40:37His capture was imminent.
40:39His eyes fell on the fire extinguisher on the wall.
40:42He removed the tube from its place.
40:44He walked to the corner of the corridor.
40:46Footsteps are getting closer.
40:48The moment a shadow turned the corner, Semiha slammed the fire extinguisher down on the man's head with all her might.
40:54The man collapsed.
40:56Semiha took the gun from the man's waist.
40:59He had never held a gun in his life.
41:01It felt heavy and cold in his hand.
41:03But he couldn't stop now.
41:06He ran towards the back exit door.
41:08When she went outside, rain hit her face.
41:11She had to find Orhan.
41:12But at the harbor exit, he saw that Orhan's car was surrounded.
41:16Orhan was forced to kneel on the ground with his hands above his head.
41:21They had captured him.
41:23Semiha froze in place.
41:25His only ally was gone.
41:27She was completely alone now.
41:29He hid among the bushes.
41:31They put Orhan in a car and drove him away.
41:34Semiha squeezed the gun in her hand.
41:36He needed to find the location of the cold storage facility.
41:39He pulled the rusty key and notebook from his pocket.
41:42He needed to make a plan.
41:44A crazy, irreversible plan.
41:46He came back.
41:48The raven glided into the private section where its car was parked.
41:52The luxury black car was there.
41:54Semiha tore a page from her notebook and nailed it to the car's hood with a stone.
42:00The stone scratched the paint on the hood and embedded itself in the metal.
42:04The page read as follows:
42:06I have the notebook.
42:07I have the notebook.
42:07Bring the children and Orhan to Kuzgun's grave.
42:10Otherwise, this notebook will be on the front page tomorrow morning.
42:14The raven's grave.
42:16This wasn't a place Semiha made up.
42:19It was the name of the old cemetery where Kuzgun, mentioned in her husband Kemal's notes, had buried the illicit money.
42:26Semiha disappeared into the darkness.
42:28He was no longer the prey, but the hunter, and when dawn broke, either everything would end, or the gates of hell would open wide.
42:38Finding the note with the raven feather drawing on it, fluttering in the wind on the empty bench in the park, didn't mean Semiha's world had collapsed.
42:46On the contrary, his mind had become clearer than ever.
42:50He didn't panic.
42:51She didn't scream.
42:52He only read the address on the back of the note.
42:55Old lighthouse, 11 PM.
42:58This was an invitation.
42:59An invitation to trade.
43:01Orhan wanted to stop Semiha.
43:04He said they should go to the police.
43:06But Semiha knew that the moment she heard the police sirens, her son's and Leyla's lives would be in danger.
43:12This is my fight, Orhan," he said.
43:15You will only be my witness.
43:18Around midnight, they arrived at the old, disused lighthouse at the far end of the city.
43:24The sea crashed fiercely against the rocks, and salty water droplets hung suspended in the air.
43:30There was a thick fog.
43:32The faint light of the flashlight was trying to pierce the fog, but it couldn't.
43:36Semiha got out of the car.
43:38She had that heavy notebook with the black cover in her lap.
43:41She left Orhan in the car.
43:43"If I don't return within an hour, reveal everything you know," he said.
43:47He stood in front of the rusty iron gate of the lighthouse.
43:50The door creaked open.
43:52It was cold and damp inside.
43:54A man in a black coat was standing at the top of the spiral staircase.
43:58Raven.
43:59There was neither anger nor threat on his face.
44:02It was simply the weariness of a weary businessman.
44:06"I knew you would come, Semiha," said Kuzgun.
44:08His voice was muffled amidst the roar of the sea.
44:12Where are they? asked Semiha.
44:14The raven pointed upwards with its head.
44:17They are up there.
44:17They are drinking tea.
44:19We are not barbarians, Semiha.
44:20We're just playing it safe.
44:23Semiha climbed the stairs.
44:25His heart beat faster with each step.
44:28The view he saw when he reached the top, the glass-enclosed room of the lighthouse
44:32It wasn't the horrifying scene he was expecting.
44:34Leyla was sitting on a chair in the corner.
44:37She was rocking back and forth with the baby in her arms.
44:40Semiha's son was lying on a blanket on the floor.
44:43He was playing with a toy car.
44:46There were no armed men with them.
44:49Just waiting quietly in the corner
44:51There were two men in suits standing with their hands behind their backs.
44:55When the son saw his mother
44:57"Mom!" she jumped up and hugged Semiha's legs.
45:01Semiha smelled her son's hair.
45:04He kissed her neck.
45:05"I'm here, son!" he said.
45:07"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
45:10Then he looked at Leyla.
45:11Leyla's eyes were swollen.
45:14She was trembling with fear, but she was unharmed.
45:18"They took us from the park!" Leyla whispered.
45:22"We don't need to force anything, we just need to talk," they said.
45:26"They threatened me with my baby, Semiha, I had no choice but to get in."
45:30Raven entered the room after Semiha.
45:34"As you can see!" he said.
45:36"Everyone's fine, let's do some trading now."
45:39Give me that notebook, and you can go home.
45:42Let's close this topic here.''
45:44Semiha sent her son to Leyla's side.
45:47He turned to Raven.
45:49He pressed the notebook he was holding to his chest.
45:51"Your end is written in this notebook," said Semiha.
45:55"If I give this to you, what guarantee do I have that you'll leave us alive?"
45:58The raven laughed.
46:00"I guarantee it, I give my word."
46:02I'm a businessman, Semiha.
46:03Unnecessary violence ruins my work.
46:05If I take the notebook, you will cease to be a threat to me.
46:09But if you don't hand over the notebook, that's when things will get ugly.''
46:13Semiha looked out the window at the dark sea.
46:17Orhan was waiting outside.
46:18But his real power was not outside, it was in his own mind.
46:22"My husband Kemal," said Semiha.
46:25"He was your accountant."
46:26But he was a cowardly man.
46:28Raven didn't keep this notebook.
46:31Raven frowned.
46:33''What do you want to say?''
46:35"Kemal would come home drunk."
46:37He was delirious.
46:38The numbers, the names, the bribes.
46:40I used to listen.
46:41I would take notes.
46:42Kemal only ran errands for you.
46:45I wrote this notebook.
46:47For years.
46:47Every single penny will be accounted for.
46:50The air in the room turned freezing.
46:52For the first time, Raven looked at this ordinary housewife in a different light.
46:58He was faced not with a helpless widow, but with a dangerous witness.
47:02"Give it to me."
47:04said Raven.
47:05His voice had hardened.
47:07Semiha handed him the notebook.
47:09"Take it," he said.
47:11"Take it and go."
47:12But know this.
47:13If even the slightest harm comes to us, to my children, or to Leyla,
47:18You will see that there is another copy of this notebook.
47:21And that copy isn't in the hands of someone you trust,
47:24It's hidden in a place you'd never expect.
47:27Raven snatched the notebook angrily.
47:31He opened the lid.
47:32He quickly glanced through the pages.
47:35The handwriting was Semiha's, not Kemal's.
47:38The details, the dates, everything was correct.
47:43"You're a smart woman," said Raven.
47:45''He closed the notebook.''
47:47Take your children and leave.
47:49Don't ever show your face to me again.''
47:51Semiha took Leyla's arm.
47:54He held his son's hand.
47:56"We're leaving," he said.
47:58They didn't look back as they went down the stairs.
48:01Raven, with a notebook in his hand,
48:03He remained at the top of the lighthouse, believing he had won a victory.
48:07But Semiha had yet to deliver the biggest blow.
48:11It had started raining when they went outside.
48:13Orhan jumped out of the car.
48:16"Are you alright?" he asked.
48:18"We're fine," said Semiha.
48:19He took a deep breath.
48:21He inhaled the scent of the sea.
48:24"Did you hand over the notebook?" Orhan asked.
48:26"I gave it," said Semiha.
48:28And a faint smile formed on his face.
48:31I gave him what he wanted.
48:34They got into the car.
48:35Leyla and the children fell asleep cuddling in the back seat.
48:39Semiha was watching the road from the front seat.
48:42The war wasn't over.
48:44He had simply changed sides.
48:46And Semiha was ready to become a general on this new front.
48:49A profound silence fell inside the car as the light from the old lighthouse faded into the mist behind them.
48:57Orhan gripped the steering wheel tightly, constantly checking behind them in the rearview mirror.
49:03Semiha, meanwhile, was sitting in the front seat, resting her head against the window, watching the rain fall.
49:09In the back seat, Leyla and the children, exhausted from the fear they had experienced, had fallen asleep huddled together.
49:16"We made a mistake," Orhan finally said.
49:19His voice was tense.
49:21"That notebook was our only insurance, Semiha, our only evidence."
49:25By giving it to the raven, we lost everything.
49:28There's no guarantee they won't be after us tomorrow morning.''
49:32Semiha looked at her reflection in the window.
49:35The weary expression on her face had vanished, replaced by a strange, peaceful smile.
49:40"I gave him the notebook, Orhan."
49:42"Because that notebook was no longer valid," he said.
49:45Orhan looked at her in astonishment.
49:48''How?
49:49Everything was written in that notebook.
49:51Years of records, bribes, money laundering.
49:55"Yes, it said so," said Semiha.
49:57"But paper burns."
49:58The ink will come off, Orhan.
50:00I gave him the notebook so he would think he had won.
50:04Let him make a mistake in his euphoria of victory.
50:06"A person's most vulnerable moment is when they think they've won."
50:11The next morning, as the city awoke to a grey day, Raven sat in his leather armchair in his luxurious office.
50:18The black notebook she had received from Semiha lay on the table in front of her.
50:22He poured a glass of whiskey.
50:25He was celebrating his victory.
50:26He thought he had defeated that simple housewife.
50:30He threw the notebook into the fireplace.
50:32Raven smiled as the flames consumed the pages.
50:36All the evidence was turning to ashes.
50:38She was free now.
50:39He turned on his computer.
50:42He wanted to check his secret accounts abroad.
50:46They entered their passwords.
50:47A red warning appeared on the screen.
50:50Insufficient balance.
50:52Raven frowned.
50:54He tried again.
50:56He logged into another account, but to no avail.
50:59All the accounts had been emptied.
51:01The raven's hands began to tremble.
51:04Millions of dollars had vanished into thin air overnight.
51:07This was impossible.
51:08Only he and the person who kept the notebook knew the passwords.
51:14Her husband is not Kemal.
51:16The person who wrote the notebook.
51:18Semiha.
51:19At that moment, the door to his office burst open with a loud bang.
51:23It wasn't the secretary who entered, but the organized crime unit.
51:28The chief inspector walked towards Kuzgun, swinging the handcuffs in his hands.
51:32"Vedat Karaman, also known as Kuzgun," said the chief inspector.
51:38You are under arrest as a result of an anonymous tip and digital documents sent to the prosecutor's office.
51:45Raven slumped into his chair, stunned by the shock.
51:49He looked at the ashes of the notebook burning in the fireplace.
51:52Semiha had given him only an empty victory.
51:56He delivered the real blow when he quietly turned his back and walked away.
52:02Three months later, a quiet Aegean coastal town surrounded by olive trees.
52:07The sun was shining brightly on the sea.
52:11Semiha and Leyla were setting up the breakfast table in the garden of a small, white-washed stone house with blue windows.
52:18In the garden, Semiha's son and Leyla's baby were running around with a dog, their laughter mingling with the wind.
52:25Semiha poured the freshly brewed tea into slender glasses.
52:28There was no trace of the old sadness on her face anymore.
52:31With her sun-tanned skin, sparkling eyes, and serene demeanor, she was a completely different woman.
52:38Orhan entered through the garden gate.
52:40He had a newspaper in his hand.
52:42He placed the newspaper on the table.
52:43Raven's photo was on the front page.
52:46Underneath, the criminal empire collapsed.
52:49Raven was being tried for life imprisonment, the article read.
52:52"It's over," said Orhan.
52:54The trial date has been set.
52:56Even his lawyers refuse to defend him.
52:58The documents you sent are so solid that...
53:00He has nowhere left to run.
53:02Leyla glanced at the newspaper.
53:05Then he turned his head.
53:06I don't even want to hear his name anymore, she said.
53:09Our story begins now.
53:12Orhan sat down on the chair.
53:13He took a sip of his tea.
53:15He looked at Semiha with curiosity.
53:17"I still don't understand, Semiha," he said.
53:20How did you withdraw that money?
53:21How did you copy those documents?
53:23When did you learn all this?
53:25Semiha smiled.
53:28He got up and went inside the house.
53:31When she returned, she had those famous pink baby booties in her hand.
53:34From the beginning of the story,
53:36hidden in her husband's chest
53:38Those booties belonged to Leyla's baby.
53:40Semiha placed the slipper on the table.
53:43Everyone thought this slipper was a baby item, she said.
53:47Even a raven.
53:49She gently parted the wool of the slipper.
53:52Hidden within their aces,
53:53There was a tiny pocket, about the size of a fingertip.
53:56He had a silver-colored pocket,
53:58He pulled out a tiny memory card.
54:00When Kemal came home drunk,
54:02"He would just pass out," said Semiha.
54:04I would take your phone,
54:06I would turn on his computer.
54:07They thought I'd stayed silent for years just to avoid being beaten.
54:12But I learned quietly.
54:14Accounts, passwords, transfers,
54:16I backed them all up on this card.
54:18That notebook was just bait.
54:21The real power lay within this path.
54:24Orhan looked at Semiha with admiration.
54:27"What did you do with the money?" he asked.
54:29Semiha looked at the children playing in the garden.
54:32Half of them were given anonymously to child welfare institutions.
54:35And I donated them to women's shelters.
54:37The rest was enough for us.
54:40To Leyla, to me, to the children
54:42And to you, Orhan.
54:44That book royalty money was also deposited into your account.
54:47It was actually a small share of the raven's fortune.
54:51Orhan laughed.
54:52Her eyes filled with tears.
54:54"You're an incredible woman, Semiha," he said.
54:57Semiha clutched the memory card tightly in her hand.
55:00Then he walked towards the sea.
55:02He raised his hand and tossed the card into the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
55:06The card created a small sparkle in the air as it fell into the water and disappeared.
55:11"The past is over," said Semiha.
55:13The ashes were scattered by the wind.
55:15The shadows dispersed.
55:16Now it's just us.
55:19Leyla came over to him.
55:20He rested his head on Semiha's shoulder.
55:23The children came running and hugged his legs.
55:25Semiha stroked her son's hair.
55:28That dark tunnel that began with her husband's death,
55:31She had now stepped out into a sunny garden.
55:33She is no longer a widow,
55:35He was a hero who wrote his own destiny with his own hands.
55:38Four people and a dog at sunset,
55:41listening to the peaceful sound of the sea,
55:43They were looking towards a life without fear, without escape, and without freedom.
