Here is the detailed summary of episode 19, season 2 of the series çukur. In the previous episode, Idriss was confronted with Chetto who tries to put pressure to return to çukur. Sena who discovered Mahsoun’s true identity decides to face him and goes armed. Yamaç will solve his problem with Metin, and above all; he understands that the Karakuzu are not the real enemies, and that someone is pulling the strings.
Cars enter Çukur. It’ s Mahsoun, Chetto and the Karakuzu. They stop near the café of Idris where Selim, Yamaç, Salih, Gumali Metin and Kemal are waiting for them.
The Karakuzu are present in large numbers. Chetto says to the Koçovali: Çukur is not yours!
Who owns this neighborhood ? It’s not yours !
Flashback, a look back at the events that happened 24 hours earlier in Çukur.
At the end of episode 18, season 2 of Çukur, we had left Idriss facing Chetto.
Idriss was invited to a meeting of clan chiefs. When he enters the restaurant, he finds other clan chiefs sitting at a table, but Chetto is also present.
Idriss settles in and recognizes each of the present, he knows their fathers. They are the successors of large mafia families.
“We know the father of each one of you” then he turns to Chetto and says “and you, I couldn’t recognize you ! Whose son are you ?” (A way of insulting Chetto)
One of those present addressed Idriss and said to him: we have a request Idriss BABA (Father Idriss)
“You know everyone here, our fathers or grandfathers are your friends (Dostu), but today they are no longer here (in the sense that they no longer hold the reins) apart from you and Reiss (another leader who is also here).”
(flashback a few hours earlier)
The various attacks against drug traffickers, drug dealers and poker clubs, which have taken place since Mahsoun and Chetto left Çukur, have been directed against the chiefs present at this meeting.
When these chiefs called Chetto to account, Chetto told them that his brothers, the Karakuzu, were hungry and needed money, so they helped themselves!
Since he no longer has a house (Çukur) and his house has been taken away from him by the Koçovali… he can no longer control his “brothers”… he can no longer control them.
Chetto makes a show of force in front of these Mafia leaders, to show that his army will be ready for anything if he doesn’t get Çukur back. He is trying to show them the threat he could become to their business if they don’t help him return to Çukur.
Chetto’s plan is to put pressure on these trafficking clans to push the Koçovali to accept the return of the Karakuzu to Çukur.
We learn at that moment that the one pulling the strings and behind all these last actions, would be none other than Baykal Bey (season 1 of Çukur) the one who was supposed to be dead during the season would finally not be !
Idriss, hearing the proposal of the clan chiefs, answers them: it’s out of the question !
He gets up and leaves the restaurant.
Yamaç hasn’t informed his brothers that he knows the identity of the one who shot him and that it was actually Metin.
Selim learns that Sena went to her apartment and therefore understands that she went there to confront Mahsoun, so he goes to her place.
At the end of episode 18, season 2 of Çukur, Sena was pointing a gun on Mahsoun, we didn’t know if she was going to shoot him or the opposite, if it was Mahsoun who was going to hurt her.
In episode 19 of Çukur, Mahsoun asks Sena : who told you ? … I didn’t lie to you, you are the only person who really knows me. Mahsoun’s real name is actually Fikret.
When Selim arrives at Sena’s apartment, he finds her sitting with the gun next to her. Sena explains to Selim that she wasn’t able to shoot him and that she let him go.
Mahsoun had confessed to Sena that he could not hurt her and that he was capable of giving his life for her.
She explains to Selim that Mahsoun has a weak point : herself.
Selim refuses to let her get involved in this.
For his part, Idriss goes to Meliha’s house. He settles down and tells her : Yamaç is coming.
Mujahid retrieves Yamaç to take him to see Idriss who is at Meliha’s house.
Meliha asks Idriss why he did not return to Çukur.
Yamaç meets Meliha for the first time and remembers the inscription on the back of a photo he had found at Aliço’s house inside the stuff of the killed journalist (Çukur season 1).
Idriss informed him of his meeting with Chetto. Idriss and Yamaç decide to say yes to the request.
Karakuzu. They’ll be able to come back to Çukur. Yamaç asks his father to let him inform his brothers.
“Let me explain it to them! »
Mujahid rebels, but Yamaç tells him patience… you’ll understand…
Sena worries about her best friend Derin and goes to her apartment.
Yamaç summons his brothers to the “Sûre” house when they get there they find Idriss and Yamaç (Yamaç and Salih make a reference to the series Games of thrones because of the way Yamaç is sitting with Idriss).
Yamaç informs his brothers that their father has been invited to a meeting the day before, where Chetto was present. A meeting in the presence of all the big fish of Istanbul (the biggest traffickers)
and chetto managed to put them all in the pocket and rally them to his cause.
Yamaç explains to his brothers that the Karakuzu want to come back to Çukur and that Idriss refused. Gumali and Salih are happy about this, but at this moment, Yamaç announces to them that he has accepted.
Yamaç explains to Gumali:
They hurt us, they killed Ajar and Aksin’s condition is clear …
They tried to kill Gumali, but they didn’t try to kill Yamaç.
They could have killed Salih, but they didn’t. Instead they kidnapped Saadet and used Salih.
Yamaç explains to his brothers that he has deduced that there is one person behind the Karakuzu. A person who guides them and tells them what to do.
For Yamaç, there is one person who wants to make us pay for something. People who want to re-open cases from the past.
“The Karakuzu are dangerous… disgusting… but getting all these people to sit at the same table (Istanbul’s top traffickers)… it’s not something Chetto could do on his own. »
So Gumali asks Yamaç who it might be. Who did they hurt?
Baykal Bey
Gumali had heard about this story and that he and his sons had died (season 1 of Çukur. Baykal wanted to obtain Çukur with the help of his sons, one of whom was Sena’s half-brother and was allied to Vartolu at that time).
For them, Baykal is dead, they are convinced about it. But they know that the one who whispers in Chetto’s ear is linked to Baykal’s story.
Idriss tells them to think of everything, to turn over every stone.
Gumali wants to shoot Mahsoun and Chetto and kill them when they enter Çukur, but Idriss reminds him that they were able to enter Çukur to retrieve Chetto when he was wounded (by Salih) they were able to create tensions in Çukur and push you to oppose each other ( Salih and Gumali) so you have to be smarter than that.
Idriss explains that the young cartel chiefs were not afraid of him during the meeting, certainly they stood up and showed their respect, but the name Koçovali no longer frightens them, it doesn’t mean anything outside Çukur.
Idriss said to his sons:
First you will make sure that your name “Koçovali” is respected again by everyone.
How much money do you have in your pocket ?
How many men do you have around you ?
You must first reconstitute the Koçovali family before you can attack your enemies…
“The wheel must turn again… first you will make sure that no one is hungry… only then you will find your names again… you will do this while these men (the Karakuzu) are around you in Çukur… you will be patient and calm…
you will be united.”
Çukur has to become yours again first.
Idriss and Mujahid went to Reiss’s place who had gathered the clans of traffickers in his place. Idriss goes there to inform him that it is no longer him who holds the reins, but his sons; and that they agree to meet about the return of the Karakuzu to Çukur.
Reiss has no boys, so it’s his daughter who takes care of the family business.
Sena goes to his best friend’s house, but she initially doesn’t open the door, but finally she lets her in and tells her that she met Mahsoun a month before and that throughout the meeting he kept asking questions about Sena. He then attacked her in her apartment and forbade her to talk to Sena, or to leave her house or he would kill her.
He comes to see her once a week to check that she is complying with his demands.
Sena takes Derine with her to the family home in Çukur.
Meliha tries to convince Idriss to return to Çukur.
Yamaç joins Sedat (the one who organized the first meeting) to discuss the Karakuzu’s return to Çukur. Yamaç sets his conditions for their return to Çukur:
No harm will be done to the people of Çukur and their property…
Gumali and Salih follow Chetto’s car at the end of his meeting with Yamaç.
Chetto meets a person and Salih decides to follow this person to a house. This person whom they cannot see ends up escaping from them, but they find a man who had been taken hostage and left behind.
Kemal is looking for Metin. Aliço explains that he is at his house.
Yamaç goes to Metin’s home and then to the home of the children who allowed Mahsoun to kidnap Metin’s son. He sees the Karakuzu rings and understands that the children have been indoctrinated.
Kemal finds Metin and tells him that yamaç is waiting for him and tells him to get ready, wash, shave and wear a suit.
Kemal understands that Metin has done something… he understands that he is the one who shot Yamaç.
Metin does his Wudu (ritual washing in Islam) and prepares himself, then says goodbye to his wife and son as he is about to die.
Kadar Boyle (destiny is thus made)
Metin enters the café in Çukur where he is awaited by Yamaç and Mujahid.
the youths of Çukur and Kemal get the scene from outside the café.
the ritual of killing begins:
Yamaç prepares the weapon (Russian roulette) and Mujahid asks Metin:
– if he came out of his house saying bissmillah (in the name of God)
– if he’ s clean (ritual washing)
“Are you ready to meet God after your death Metin?”
“I’m ready Emi”
“Your sins are many, are you ready to go to hell?”
“I’m ready Emi”
Mujahid recites the Shahada (Muslim profession of faith)
then to everyone’s surprise, Mujahid asks :
Yamaç, are we ready to let him in through our door?
Yamaç answers : we let him in.
Metin says he doesn’t deserve it.
Yamas asks:
Are we ready to be together under all circumstances ?
Would you be ready to die for me?
Would I die for you ?
(it’s the motto that united Idriss, Pasa and Mujahid)
Then Yamaç puts the gun to his head and shoots.
He then hands it to Metin, who puts it on his head and shoots.
They end up hugging each other.
Metin thus becomes Yamaç’s right arm (as Pasa and Mujahid were for Idriss).
That evening, the Karakuzu enter Çukur, but the street in front of the café is strangely empty, Yamaç wonders where everyone has gone.
Salih and Gumali arrive with the hostage they have freed.
This one has a Karakuzu tattoo and is said to be a former leader of the group.
The Karakuzu arrive in front of the café in Çukur, where they are greeted by Yamaç, Metin, Gumali Salih, Selim, and Kemal.
Chetto jokes that there are many Karakuzu, while there are only five Koçovali.
At that moment… whistling can be heard in Çukur.
The young people of Çukur are all over the rooftops holding banners with the symbol (tatoo) of Çukur.
at the end of this episode 19, season 2 of çukur, several questions arise
A new era begins in çukur. The Koçovali brothers will try to regain the heart of çukur and its inhabitants.
Yamaç has understood that another person is in charge of the Karakuzu. Who is it ? Is it the return of Baykal Bey, the famous enemy that marked season 1 of çukur ?
