## Plot

The team arrived in Artvin, in order to find and incriminate Matthew Erickson and Ayça Turan. Since they were the closest people to Demeter, and they probably will be causing murders and violence in the city. Taylan tells us that today is a show at Artvin, in which models from all over Turkey will perform. Since Hell's Gate mainly attacks crowded places, we have to be patrolling there, so everything will be safe during the event. Arslan says that he'll make sure, nothing happens. When we arrive there, the security guard let us pass, because we check for the safety. However, we hear some voices from the changing room, we head there, and saw many people slamming the door, we ask them what happen, one of them tells that the lead model Şahika Eyüp isn't opening the door, and they are worried. Arslan breaks the down, and we found the body of Şahika. We send the body for autopsy. There weren't enough clues anywhere around, however we found a business card of Aydın Yamantürk, which means the victim knew about him. We fortunately found him in the auditorium, he greets us and says what happen, we tell her about Şahika's murder, he gets shocked. We interrogate him, if he knew about Şahika. Aydın tells us that he was her personal photographer and he was also the photographer for today's event, her death is really heartbreaking. After we talk with Aydın, we sigh that we still haven't found out Matthew and Ayça, as we were saying, Merve approaches us, she tells us that the Georgian Mob has send it's one of it's member to the crime scene to investigate it. When we arrive at the crime scene, we see a woman debriefing people, we went to her and asked her to stop it. She tells us that her name is Sofia Khurtsidze, and she is part of Georgian Mob. We decide to interrogate her, Sofia begins by telling that Avtandil had send her here to investigate Şahika's murder, because it is huge loss for them. Arslan gets puzzled and asks her that how the mob knows about Şahika. Sofia tells us that Şahika was part of their mob, and then became a model, however she still kept her relations with the mob, and she was one of the most powerful members of the mob, Sofia adds that she'll help with the investigation. Following our conversation, we notice someone shouting outside and saying "Şahika is a bitch", we immediately run outside, it was a student, she was saying that Şahika ruined her life. Her name was identified as Romaisa Hassan, we interrogate her. She tells us that she is a student from Pakistan and was here for studies, but once she met with Şahika, and she said that she was ugly. Romaisa tells she got offended by this. The autopsy results revealed out that Şahika died due to a explosive, the explosive was stuffed into her mouth, and then it exploded. Florin tells us that someone was written was blood but was barely understandable. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Cassandra tells us that Şahika had a rival.

Mid-investigation, Cassandra tells us a really interesting information, she tells she was reading fashion magazine, and she found a article in which it explained about Şahika's rivalry with Burak Yamantürk, a successful model who also happened to be Aydın's brother. We decide to interrogate Burak about the rivalry, because this made him a prime suspect in the investigation. We debrief Burak about his rivalry with Şahika, he begins by saying that he and Şahika were good friends, however Burak kept receiving several modelling offers, which made Şahika jealous, because she considered herself more alluring and beautiful, and then she began rivalry with him. Burak says that he would never kill her. Merve says that Şahika and Burak's rivalry is the most famous rivalry in Turkey, in which mainly Şahika had tried to defame him, and most of the people supported Şahika and mainly began defaming Burak. Eylül comes to us, with holding her head, she tells us that she has a killing headache, and can't really concentrate on the work, that's why Nadeem is replacing her as today's lab chief. Nadeem tells us that he managed to decipher that weird writing on Şahika's head, and it was the seal of Demeter herself, we were puzzled that how something like this would have happened. Following that, Arslan says that his arm hurts, but that would go away, we found out a poster on the crime scene, which mentioned about "Peace and Harmony" this was event organised by Amanda Mackay, Arslan says that he heard that Amanda wasn't in Turkey anymore, but she was here, it also mentioned the name of Şahika. This tells us that Amanda knew about Şahika, we interrogate her. Amanda exclaims that HG's cruelty is increasing and a lot of people lost their lives, that's why she decided to plan a peace event, to feel sympathetic for the dead ones, and was trying to destroy HG's terror, however she tells us that Şahika mainly cared about the money, and didn't personally care about the event, and only about the money she received from it. Arslan says that Şahika was arrogant and power hungry, but whoever killed her should be brought to justice. We later begin to find more clues against the murder, we found out a figurine of the victim, which was covered in blood, we investigate the fingerprints on it, and it belonged to none other than Romaisa, we were shocked that how they ended up on here. We interrogate her again, Romaisa tells us that she herself had made this figurine of Şahika, because she was ruining herself, and took out her anger on her, by stabbing the figurine, but she didn't thought Şahika will end up dead for real, we ask her about the blood, she says she doesn't know about it. Following that, Cassandra tells us that she found out a article, in which Şahika defamed all the Yamantürk family, and mostly on Aydın, we were puzzled that Şahika had rivalry with Burak, but what has she to do with Aydın, we interrogate him about this hatred. Aydın breaks the secret to us, and tells us that somehow Şahika found out that he was bisexual, and decided to use this as to defame the family, she began by accusing the family of illegal drug business, and tried to malign his reputation, by giving his bisexuality a negative light. He says that his family openly supported him, the first one being his oldest brother, Hakan. Aydın also tells us that his older sister, who was the oldest of all four, also had cold relations with Şahika, as she had made the four siblings her enemy. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Merve approaches us and tells us that Tierre is deciding to resign from the department.

Mid-investigation, Merve approaches us and says that Tierre is planning to resign from the department, we were shocked and we went to Tierre to ask why she had made this decision, she says that she feels like that she doesn't deserve to be in the department, because she was a criminal's sister, and people constantly called her names and insulted her, and she didn't want to defame the name of the department, and now she wants to resign because she had enough of this. We insisted her not to leave, and say she should think about it. We proceed to find more clues, we found out the victim’s phone, and go through it and found out that Şahika had heated conversation with Sofia, in which she constantly called her names, but Sofia very maturely handled the situation, but Şahika was very rude to her. We interrogate her about this, she tells us that she doesn't know anything that why Şahika had rivalry with her, she tried to settle things down, but Şahika called her different names and abusive nicknames to her. We were disgusted that why Şahika would do something like this, if Sofia never did anything to her. Following that conversation, we decide to check up on Tierre, she was packing up her things, we tried to convince, but she had made her up her mind. Zeynep approaches us and says that she was reading articles on the recent events, she hands over a article to us, in which it was said that Şahika had accused Burak of sleeping with several other models, and people started hating and saying dirty things about him. We interrogate him about this scandal, he says that Şahika had ruined his life, and was trying to literally get her killed. He says that the rivalry between them grew to much that he started accusing him of sleeping with other models, he tried to explain that it wasn't true, but it ruined his reputation enough, and now his profession is in danger and now all thanks to Şahika, whose fake allegations got him here. Merve and Cassandra approaches us they us that Matthew was found somewhere around the city. Arslan says that first we should arrest the killer. In the end, we had enough evidence to incriminate Aydın Yamantürk for the murder, upon admitting Aydın confesses that he killed Şahika, because he wanted to save his family. He elaborates that the rivalry between his family and her grew to much, that she planned to kill all of them, and get them out of the way. However, he didn't know about that, one day he happened to came across her plan, in which Şahika mentioned the ways how to kill every sibling, his older sister Betül was to be killed being shot by a gun, his oldest brother Hakan, was to be decapitated, and Burak was to be killed in the most brutal way. When Aydın figured about this, he tried to report her to the police, but they didn’t listen to him and shamed his family due to Şahika's allegations. He made a aim that being the youngest of all four, he wanted to protect his siblings from her cruelty, and confronted her earlier today, Şahika laughed and threw a explosive on the ground, however before anything could happen, he threw that explosive to Şahika, which landed in her mouth, that eventually killed her.

After Aydın's confession, we visit Taylan in his office to submit the case file, he says that he is devastated by today's motive, and says that how the hunger for fame and money ruin lives. He says that we should express sorrow for the Yamantürk, who have been wrongfully accused of the crimes, they never committed. Arslan says that he'll talk with Burak about this, we talk to Burak, he says that he is extremely mad on Şahika, because due to her his brother has committed the crime to murder her, he says that their reputation is ruined enough, that they have to settle in other country, but they can't leave Aydın here in this place, where they will kill him with accusations. Arslan says that we wouldn't need to this, since Şahika's reality would be known to everybody. Following that, we decide to check up on Eylül, when we went there, we see Eylül unconscious. Arslan runs to her and says "Abla, uyan" (Abla is used for older sister), however she wasn't responding. We immediately rush her to the nearest hospital. After that, Taner approaches us, he tells us that he found out something about his family, he needs their help in the case, he tells us that his family recently told him about something, he tells us that his parents recently told him that he has a younger brother, but he never met him. Taner was concerned that how can someone be his brother, when he never met him, however he says that he remembers that he had spend time with someone as a child, but never met again. This was concerning as Taner said that now he really wants to know who his brother is. Zeynep was surprised that how they didn't know about it, Taner says his family never talked about him. Arslan calls us from the hospital and tells us that Eylül was tried to be killed, because the doctor found out a poison inside her head, and now her life is in danger. Arslan was feeling down, his voice said so, Merve was worried about him, she says that she will go the hospital, and be there to support him in this situation. After she was gone, Taylan says that Matthew recently had send them a message that how did they like for what he did to Eylül, Zeynep gets angry and yells at him, by doing a voice message that he'll pay for the crime he is doing, he then sends another voice message in which he says that "You and Arslan belong to my bed" Zeynep was disgusted and send him a message in which she said "I'll shoot your balls". After we were done, Tierre says that she has thought a lot about leaving the department, but now she says that it's a family for her, and they stick together, and she won't leave them in these unprecedented circumstances, and we are like a family to her. Zeynep expressed anger that she'll kill Matthew, because he is such a disgusting motherfucker, who is seducing people, and he should be arrested of this act. We receive a call from Merve, who tells us that Eylül's life is in danger, we inform her that Tierre wasn't leaving the department, she took a breath of relief and said that she is glad that they heard a positive news during this shitty day, Merve tells us that Arslan's parents are blaming him for Eylül's condition, and now he is broken. We inform about this Taylan, who says that Eylül's life is in danger, and we should pray that she survives, otherwise the team will lose her, we were approached by Amanda, who tells us that she has been tired of this HG, they are ruining her life too, she says that Demeter should be arrested, so we all can remain in peace, we ask her what was her concern, she tells us that she doesn't know how Matthew found her number, and called her "sexy" and offered her to become his "bitch", Zeynep then expresses disgust again that what the hell this bitch is up to. After we are done chatting with Amanda, Aslan approaches us, he says that he is trying so hard to find his family, and now he is yearning to meet them.

Taylan calls us in his office and tells us that he was informed that there is a mole in the team, who is supplying all the proofs to HG, to make them stronger, and sighs that someone has been playing us for all along, and now we have to unmask their identity before anything happens, he also adds that according to the news, something is going to happen in Samsun and we have to head there.
