## Plot

The team arrived in Edirne in order to catch HG and the third traitor who had been helping them for all along. Taylan said that we should have stopped investigating for a day due to Burak's death, however HG had given us ten days to defeat them, so we possibly couldn't lose time. After that, Arslan comes to the station, his leg was already stitched but he still managed to come. Zeynep said that he should've rested, but Arslan said if she could come to the job after getting poisoned, and recovering he could come to the job, whether his life depended on it. We were at the station, there wasn't any problem that was caused by HG. However it wasn't enough that we were informed that a body was found in an restaurant. We decide to go there, and when we saw the body, we were extremely surprised and could not believe that it was Nadeem, we were extremely desolated that how our people are now falling, and we couldn't defeat HG, and end their regime of terror. We send the body for autopsy, this day turned into another sorrow. At the crime scene, we find out the the table where Nadeem was killed and it was reserved by Avtandil we get suspicious and decide to interrogate him. When we arrive back at the station, everyone was saddened that Nadeem was dead, and wanted us to incriminate the killer real quick. We interrogate Avtandil about the murder, he was extremely sorrowful of the murder, he tells us that he was supposed to organise a meeting at the restaurant with Sofia and Bryan, however it was reserved for the evening. After Avtandil's interrogation, we decide to interrogate Sofia, as she was very close to Nadeem, due to their professions. Sofia was really desolated, and said that they both had similar likings and she is really hurt by his death, and says that she'll help them to catch the killer. Following that, Mert and Elif approach us, who tell us that HG had tried to kill off Onur, but luckily he managed to survive, but the reason they wanted him to die was that there was a secret that they didn't want anyone to know, so they wanted to kill Onur, and then everyone. We were now more suspicious that what possibly could be the definite reason. However after that, we find out Nadeem's phone, in which he had heated conversations with Cassandra. We decide to check up on Cassandra and debrief her about angry conversations with Nadeem. Cassandra tells us that she was still angry on Nadeem about Tierre's death, that he possibly could have saved her from getting killed by Eylül but he didn't, and Cassandra then always had strained relations with him, and was always blaming him, but now she realised that it wasn't the right thing to do. The autopsy results revealed out that Nadeem died due to strangulation. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Mert comes to us, he tells us that there is a huge secret about Amanda that we should know.

Mid-investigation, Mert tells us that there is a really huge secret about Amanda, we should know. He tells us that he recently discovered that Amanda herself didn't join HG, but someone had invited her to do so. However he didn't find the person who had done that. After that, we proceed to find more clues. Onur approaches us, he tells us that he had found out a contract on the crime scene, which was signed between Taylan and Nadeem, and in which Taylan had fired him from the team, we were now suspicious and debrief Taylan about this. Taylan crosses his arms and says that Nadeem was already useless enough for the team, so there was no point of keeping him in the team, that's why he decided to fire him, because he would be safe of getting killed by HG. Arslan then gets suspicious on Taylan for his attitude, but doesn't say anything else. Elif comes to us with papers, she tells us that she had found criminal records of Amanda, back in England, when she committed a robbery back in London, and surprisingly who had committed robbery with her was Matthew. After listening to that, we went onto investigate the crime scene. On the crime scene, we found out Matthew's water bottle, and a note on that which said "Meet me sometime today, I have something important to tell you" and it was signed by Ceren. We were now puzzled that would possibly could be the thing she wanted to tell, we had to interrogate her now. Ceren tells us that she had sound something about HG, and wanted to tell him about it, since they had a secret between them, since Nadeem actually spied on HG, and informed her about it, and then she conveyed the message to Mert, and this time she found something, which she'll tell after the investigation is done. Merve approaches us, she tells us that Matthew is trying to make them in their ways, and she even found Matthew’s intentions on Arslan, Onur and Zeynep, and he had made plans how to make love with them, Arslan was now better that now he knows about Matthew's intentions, and now he doesn't have to worry about him, he also tells about this to Onur and Zeynep, so they could be beware. After that, we proceed to find clues to incriminate the killer, Amanda sends us a message in which she says that she did not expect that someone would kill Nadeem, he was the least of their concern, and said that she didn't want this, however we were now suspicious that was it indeed Amanda, or it was someone else, just trying to take her identity, because this type of message wasn't expected at all from Amanda, we decided to send the phone to Merve, so she could decipher the location the message was sent from. According to her, it was indeed send by Amanda, we were surprised. After that, we find out that Nadeem wanted to join the Georgian Mob, and had requested Avtandil, however he had turned it down. We were then suspicious and ask Avtandil that why did he turn the request down. Avtandil tells us that the mob was already on it’s last phase, and he was going to abolish it, and that’s why he decided to turn it down, as it was no more, he also tells us that the reason why he is ending the mob is because he doesn't want to be called a mobster anymore, and now he is on the right path. After his interrogation, we also find out that Cassandra was also going to leave the department, we decide to interrogate her and ask the reason, she tells us that she was missing Tierre and she wouldn’t wanted to work with Nadeem, as she believed that he was the reason she had died, but it was all before, and now she wants justice. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Zeynep comes to us, who tells us that she has found something surprising.

Mid-investigation, Zeynep tells us that she has discovered something surprising and we need to know about it, Zeynep tells us that she found some old papers in her lab, which belongs to 1923, which led to the formation of HG, it also mentioned about a certain "Ethan Mackay", who apparently was Amanda's ancestor and it meant that HG had been formed by her ancestors, and that's why she has the dominant position there. This was an interesting piece of information we had found. Following that, we find more stuff about HG. Onur comes to us, who tells us that he was researching through HG, and found out that Emmeline Castaignède and Liesbeth Anderiesen both of them were actually started to hypnotise people to join The Italian Mafia and HG had adapted brainwashing as their scheme, and now all of them were connected but the mafia was dead, but HG is more powerful than them, and there is someone who is running all of this, and it's not Amanda, the real culprit is still to be unmasked. However Amanda still assumes the leadership, so we should beware of her. After that, we come to know that Sofia and Nadeem sort to have type of an enmity with each other. We decide to interrogate Sofia about this, she tells us that is fake news, there is nothing like that, people are just trying to ruin her reputation, now Arslan realised it she was indeed saying the truth, as the allegation looked staged. There was too much for us now, and according to HG's plan something would happen in Istanbul in ten days, and we should be aware of it. On the crime scene, we find Nadeem's glasses, and a ring beside it, which was identical to that of Ceren. We investigate Ceren about this, but she says that she is wearing her ring, and she was indeed wearing it, however we didn't know how it ended up there, and whose ring it even was, Ceren then exclaims that someone is trying to frame her, and she thinks someone is cloning everyone now, but she recalls Amanda having the same. After that, Arslan was now puzzled that who possibly could be the person behind all this. We proceed to find clues. In the end we had enough evidence to incriminate Sofia Khurtsidze for the murder, we were extremely shocked. Upon admitting, Sofia confesses and says she killed Nadeem, because it was HG who had killed him. Sofia begins to elaborate that HG had forced her to kill him, because he was an obstacle for them, and needed to be eliminated. Sofia begins to elaborate that earlier today, Matthew and Eylül had summoned her, and ordered her to kill Nadeem, however she didn't know the cause they were asking her to murder him, however she refused to cooperate and said she won't commit this, however the next thing she remember that she had agreed with them on killing him off, and the next thing she remembered that she had strangled Nadeem with a TV cable, and she had no reaction on the killing. However at the same time, Sofia faints we run over her to make her conscious, after many tries, she gains back her consciousness. When she wakes up, Sofia begins to cry that she never meant to kill Nadeem, HG had forced her to do so, earlier today, they had kidnapped her and Matthew was forcing her to kill Nadeem, because he had found out their biggest secret, which wasn't to be exposed, or else they would get ruined, Sofia then decided to know about that secret, and decided to run away, saying that she would never turn her back on TRO and the mob. When she runs out, Eylül knocks her out, and she fells. The next thing she remembered that she was tied up, and Eylül was forcing her to kill Nadeem, but she still disagreed, Matthew tried to choke her, but she was still saying that she won't kill. Eylül then takes out a pendulum, and then begins to hypnotise her into killing Nadeem, and the next thing she recalls was that she had agreed to kill off Nadeem. Matthew and Eylül then smirked and then left her to kill Nadeem, she then went off to the restaurant before Avtandil came, there was no one in the restaurant, and Sofia begin to threat Nadeem to kill him, and after that she took out an TV cable from her bag, and strangled Nadeem with it, however she didn't felt any remorse, but at the same time, her head felt light, and then after she gained back her senses, she started to panic that she had killed Nadeem, and then decided to run from there to save herself, she then went to Matthew and Eylül to save her, but they laughed that they won't do anything, the team would kill her off by themselves. After the elaboration, Sofia begins to cry that she didn't meant to kill him, but HG had hypnotised her to do so. Now we realised that Sofia wasn't responsible for the murder, so she was free to go.

After Sofia's confession, we ask her to rest for a while. At the department, everyone was shocked that Sofia had been hypnotised to kill Nadeem, and we can't trust anyone now. Zeynep expresses the concern that we should look deep into this situation, as she still believes that there is a whole story behind this, and we should be asking Sofia about it. Before that, Elif comes to us, she tells us that Aslan is being bothered lately by Matthew and Eylül, who are forcing him to join them, however he kept ignoring them, but their enforcing him for that. After that we decide to check upon Aslan, he was sitting on the desk, eating some biscuits, however they looked extremely suspicious, as if they had been injected with poison, when he picked up another biscuit, it had some green marks on it and Arslan runs to him, and steals the biscuit from his hand, and Aslan says "Damn you greedy, there are literally tons of it". Arslan then puts his hand on his shoulder and says "Look kid, there is poison injected into it, so if you died you would complain that we didn't save you". Aslan was then shocked and said "I don’t know who could have done this, I just found them here". Arslan then replies "You didn't even bothered to check who had put them here, and started to eat them". However after this conversation, we speculate that Matthew and Eylül have tried to kill Aslan, since they have been bothering him for a long while, and now we need to deal with them real quick. However we needed to interrogate Sofia about the hypnotism, she begins to explain us that when she was kidnapped, Matthew and Eylül had took her to Amanda, who wasn't pleased with them, and said that she isn't involved in this scheme, and says to leave Sofia, however both Eylül and Matthew were surprised of Amanda’s response and her attitude. However according to them, Amanda had been depressed, and after she had killed Burak, she started to feel down, and wanted to end the things, however she also wanted to fight with us, so she didn't completely left it, and wanted to pursue fighting us even after she recovered, we thought it might be the right time to defeat Eylül and Matthew, but before we could do this, they arrived at the station, and started to shoot us, however Mert kicked Matthew from behind and the gun dropped, and Ceren twisted Eylül's arm and she cried in pain. We then decide to make negotiations with them, and probably kill them after it, but Matthew and Eylül wanted to fight with us, and threatened that they will kill all of us. Keeping it mind, we challenged HG to face us tomorrow, and if we lost, we'll never interfere in HG's matters again, and if they lost, they'll have to cease HG and pay everyone the crimes they had committed, after thinking for a long time, they agreed and went off before saying losers to us. After they were gone, Arslan says that how we could possibly defeat them, but Onur says that he had devised a plan that would defeat HG at all costs. After that, Taner arrives at the station, and he was bleeding, someone had stabbed him from behind, but he still managed to come here, Aslan was shocked and ran over to Taner, Taner said that he was stabbed by someone, when he was searching for clues, and before anything could happen, we rush him to the hospital. After that, we pay a visit to the place mentioned by Taner to investigate what was happening there, few people Onur, Mert, Hilal and Ceren went to investigate the place, and when we arrived there, we were extremely shocked, we had seen pictures of every victim we had investigated the murder of, and on the top of that there were a bone and names of the victim, and what's even more surprising was that there were names of Valentin Warner, Angelika Warner, Hilda Spitznagel and Anthony De Bruyn, with their faces crossed out, however at the other side, there was another empty spot, which said "To Be Filled Soon". We were now informed that someone is getting murdered soon, and we should prevent it. After arriving back at the station, we see Matthew and Eylül there again, and Elif weeping, when she saw Onur, she went to him and placed her head on his chest and began to cry that Matthew tried to force himself, Onur then stepped forward, and with our even waiting, he kicked Matthew so badly in the chest that he screamed, following which he kicked his balls, which was enough to direct him to bed for 15 days. Eylül's arm was also shot, and she also was in our custody now. Now HG couldn’t do anything for a while, since Amanda wasn't taking part in it, and we had Matthew and Eylül with ourselves. However according to their plan, something was about to happen in İzmit soon, which would generate deadly consequences for the country, before anything could happen, we departure for İzmit.
