Pressured to kill Latif, Akgün tries to find a way out. But Soner threatens Akgün with Yağmur's life. Akgün must find a way through this deadlock... Unable to endure the pressure he is in anymore, Akgün bursts out at Selim, who had lied to him about his mother. When he learns that Selim did not force his mother into any action and acted honourably at every turn, Akgün falls apart. He does not know how to make amends to Selim. Selim searches high and low for his runaway witness, Latif. Canan suddenly finds herself in a position to help Selim find his lost witness. Will this potential cooperation help them reconcile?

Blaming herself for the death of Latif, Canan is wrestling with the traumatic effects of witnessing the incident. Although Selim tries to console Canan, he is also seriously burdened by the event. While Akgün is worried about Yağmur, he receives the news of his own father's death. Selim takes him to Istanbul to attend the funeral. Although Akgün has said that he will not forgive his father, he finds himself mourning his father's death. But his grief is soon overcome by a surprise. Returning from the funeral, Selim is quickly chasing the mole. Akgün cannot bear the guilt of the lies he has told Selim and decides to return to Istanbul for good. Yağmur does not want to accept Akgün's decision. Akgün, on the other hand, is unaware that he is about to walk into Selim's trap prepared for the mole, when he tries to settle a last score before leaving for Istanbul.

After learning about Akgün's betrayal, Selim decides to turn Akgün's life into hell. Selim can't arrest him for being a mole however, he decides to put him behind bars for shooting Ahmet with the intent to kill. In the meantime Selim is suspended for an alleged hit on Fatih in the parking lot of a hotel. Akgün is ready to be punished. But when he goes to court, an unwanted defense from an unwanted lawyer gets him off all charges and he is released. Akgün is released despite confessing to being guilty in the court room but he does not intend to leave without making amends to Selim. He takes it upon himself to clear Selim Kara's name and to reveal the conspiracy against him. Of course, he has to do this without being seen by Selim, who now can't stand him. Canan, on the other hand, is aware of her husband's situation. It's Canan's turn to take care of Selim. While Akgün is trying to solve the conspiracy against Selim, his path once more crosses with Yağmur, who wants to solve what happened to his father in her own way. Yağmur will have to make a difficult decision. She realizes that to prove his father's innocence, she might need to consent to Akgün's methods.
