-Zeynep takes Aylin to the park: “Dad is not walking and talking like we are any more...”

They get the flashdrive, plug it in and Veli is on there. “Kadir, your mother is at the cemetery at what she thinks is your grave right now. BUT if you go to her, Zeynep will be shot. And Kerem, I have your mother... AND Cemre.”
-Kadir rushes to Zeynep. Kerem, recalling Kadir say that Veli wouldn't hurt Cemre because of her father, rushes to his mother—but finds it's Cemre there. We hear a gunshot. Show ends...
