The Bad Penny (2021 - 2022)

The chase game between Kartal, the mafia leader, who is the "protector" of Çıngıraklı, a colorful Roman neighborhood with its unique characters and harsh rules, and Efe, the reckless and unruly commissioner of the Organized Bureau, turns upside down with a murder case. Trying to escape from the police forces and his rivals in the criminal world at the same time, Kartal's path crosses with the murderer.

Although Kartal does not accept Efe's offer of a deal, Efe is sure that they need to work together to find the murderer. While trying to get rid of Efe, Kartal has to pay the price of the damage he did to Mesut, more than he expected. Kartal, who is in a fight with Nezih to protect his position in the criminal world, looks for the cure in his daughter Bahar. When the veil of mystery over the murders is lifted a little, Kartal is forced to reconsider Efe's offer this time.

The tag sent to Kartal is the only clue that he and Efe can track down the killer. But apart from the two of them, there is another person who realizes the importance of the tag. While Efe confronts his father as a result of his deal with Kartal, Kartal, who continues his struggle with Nezih, comes before Bahar to try his luck for the last time. For the first time, İrfan panics when he encounters someone who is approaching to learn his secret. But the moment he thinks he's settled the matter in cold blood, he gets a new surprise.

The encounter with İrfan Oktay deeply affects both of them. While İrfan is struggling with the trouble of not being able to explain his rightness, Oktay confronts his painful past that he has buried at the bottom of the bottles for years. Bahar, whom Kartal hides in the neighborhood, sees the real face of Kartal, understands what she is actually up against and experiences anxiety. Efe's failure to keep his promise inflames Leyla's anger and causes her to confront Efe. Kartal, on the other hand, is shaken by Efe's betrayal, but he quickly recovers and moves against Efe to take revenge. Efe, whose hands are tied by a move of Kartal, has to choose between acting in spite of Kartal or together with Kartal.

Efe finds himself in the middle of Kartal's wedding rush while trying to track down the murderer who is under their noses. While trying to complete this wedding, which is his last trump card against Nezih, Kartal learns that the murderer may be in the neighborhood. İrfan, on the other hand, drags Efe and Kartal into a surprising plan with the knowledge he gained from his next target. A mysterious message to Efe, who is put to the test by Leyla, shocks Kartal on the very wedding day.

Destroyed by İrfan's message, Kartal barely comes to the wedding with Efe's support. While trying to prove that he was not destroyed by friend or foe at his wedding, he is also heartbroken. While Efe thinks that he has recovered Kartal, he disperses after the blow he received from Leyla at the wedding. Kartal, whose weak side is revealed when Irfan, whom he calls his brother, pierces his common wounds, gets a new enemy when he receives another wound from the most unexpected place. The circle around İrfan is getting narrower. When he comes across a murder he thought he was covering up, İrfan is forced to reveal his most intimate secret.

Kartal is disappointed when he does not get the support he expected from his father Oktay to catch İrfan. Still, he not giving up, Kartal tracks down İrfan with Efe, but the duo finds themselves in unexpected danger. This move against İrfan narrows İrfan's playing field. Determined to teach Kartal and the neighborhood a lesson they will never forget, İrfan makes a striking move. However, İrfan's move creates an unexpected result for Oktay.

When Kartal and Efe chase after İrfan with the "alias" they have, they enter the radar of someone they did not expect. Before Irfan disappears, he gives Kartal another chance at his mother's insistence and gives Kartal one of the most difficult dilemmas of his life. While trying to reconcile with Leyla, Efe also tries to protect Kartal from İrfan. On the other hand, İrfan's next step will hit Kartal and Efe from an unexpected place.

Efe learns that Kartal released İrfan, and he is enraged, thinking that he also had a share in Leyla's kidnapping. Efe, who follows Leyla with Kartal, has to make a very difficult choice in this process. Efe's emotional reactions, who push his limits to save Leyla, do not go unnoticed by Kartal. Another blow comes from Nezih to Kartal, who has been shaken by the disappearance of Leyla. While Kartal is planning his revenge on Nezih, Bahar's move will surprise everyone.

İrfan sneaks into his house to kill Efe. But when he encounters Efe's hidden agenda, he leaves an important message for him. When Efe comes to Kartal to decipher İrfan's message, he learns of the war between Kartal and Nezih. Kartal is determined to see the end of the war as a victor, and Efe is determined to end the war before anyone gets hurt. Despite Leyla's warnings, Efe realizes his plan and finds himself on the verge of a big change. Kartal realizes that he needs Bahar as much as his intelligence to survive his war with Nezih. İrfan, on the other hand, makes the first move of his new game with a maneuver that no one expected.

Although Kartal and Efe do not want to come to an agreement with İrfan, they realize that they are obliged to work with Baybars because they know that they will never find Baybars. As they take action to realize their plans step by step, Azad, who is their first target, brings them to their feet and this meeting comes as a great shock to both of them. Bahar, who lost everything with her father's death, pours out her heart to Leyla. This bond established between them will enable Kartal and Efe to unite against Azad, their new rival. Efe, on the other hand, has a separate plan, which he hides even from Kartal, in the game they set up with Kartal in order to bring this tough and powerful opponent to his knees. But as soon as they think they have won the game, they meet a new person who connects them to İrfan again.

Kartal and Efe manage to reach Çetin with İrfan's guidance. Çetin enables Kartal and Efe to win a great victory against Azade. But Çetin, who has a personal animosity with Baybars, has a special agenda that he hides from everyone on the way to Baybars. Bahar begins to hide some things from Kartal as Adnan confuses her. Leyla is determined to tell Efe's secret to her brother Kartal. When Azade, who does not write defeat in her book, makes an unexpected move to Kartal and Efe, everything changes.

When Kartal thinks that the end is near, he recovers with unexpected help from Efe and Çetin. Knowing that Kartal will pursue his revenge on Korkmaz, Efe tries to stop him, but his deep bond with Oktay causes him to make an unexpected choice. Çetin knows that Kartal's path is dangerous and tells Efe to restrain Kartal for his sake. When Efe thinks he has solved Çetin's mystery, he realizes that Çetin has much more information about him than he thought. When Bahar decides to confront Azade, she faces the truth that will shock her. Kartal, on the other hand, enters into a bargain with İrfan in order to bring his revenge plan to an end.

Kartal's bargain with İrfan causes him to get an unexpected reaction from Efe. With this anger inside, Efe is preparing a hard move against Kartal. After Bahar learns the truth about her father's death, she puts her plan into action and surprisingly changes the target of Korkmaz's attack. Kartal takes action when he realizes Korkmaz's threat. Neriman, who is under probation of İrfan, whom Kartal could not hold in his hand, takes a big risk upon the secret message.

The decision that Neriman makes as a result of confronting Baybars causes Baybars to take a step that will include İrfan. Kartal, even more, sharpened after Bahar's last move, makes a clever plan against Korkmaz. But she is not aware that behind this plan, Efe has set a big trap for him. Çetin realizes that he underestimates his opponents while showing his side in the conflict between Kartal and Efe. Kartal, who no longer trusts anyone, manages to secure himself against Çetin, but a nasty surprise awaits him.

Kartal and Leyla are in for a shock when the secret that Neriman has kept for a lifetime is revealed. Kartal's punishment of Neriman ignites the irreversible war between Şahin and Kartal. Efe gets very close to seeing the end of his game, which he started with the support of Çetin in order to let Azade, Korkmaz and Baybars in with Kartal. When Çetin says yes to the offer from Baybars to reunite with his mother, the hunt and the hunters change places.

When Kartal returns to the neighborhood, he sees that everything has changed and is shaken. Çıngıraklı is now under Şahin's control. Seeing that he is not wanted in the neighborhood, Kartal is going to leave everything behind and walk away, but it is Leyla who shakes him and brings him to his senses. Learning that he has a child with Bahar, Kartal takes action to reunite his family with his own child at any cost. For this reason, he first confronts Efe, but finds Efe in a situation he never expected. Kartal makes a big plan to bring Efe back to himself, and Kartal's path crosses with İrfan once again in this plan.

Although Kartal is in pain of having to sacrifice Ferhan, he is aware that he must activate the revenge plan he inherited from him. In the surprise confrontation of Efe and Çetin, everyone sheds their stones on their skirts. Kartal reminds him that despite all he has learned, the target of all three is the same person. The steps of the compulsory cooperation between Kartal, Efe and Çetin are taken. In the first battle they won together against Şahin, they get an unexpected response and Kartal becomes Korkmaz's target. While trying to stop Bahar, who is about to leave the country with her son, Kartal, with the support of Efe and Çetin, will try to take her revenge on Şahin, who cooperated with the man who shot his father.

Before Kartal can fully experience the excitement of reuniting with his son and Bahar, an unexpected attack overshadows his happiness. Kartal, driven mad by the fear of losing Ateş and Bahar, takes action to take revenge. When he learns who the perpetrator is, he makes a request to Kartal. Kartal's attack affects Efe deeply. Efe, who comes to Leyla for fear of losing the woman she loves, acts much more courageously this time. Şahin confronts Azade as a result of the plan he turned behind his back, but he puts into action a plan that even Azade would not have guessed. While Kartal, Efe and Çetin are preparing to deal a big blow to Baybars, someone they never expected helps them. Baybars, on the other hand, makes the most serious move to overcome the defeats he has suffered and takes a step that will completely change the game.

The most brutal move of Baybars, Kılıç, leaves great destruction in the places it passes as it is included in the game. Kılıç's brutality intimidates Şahin. Şahin makes a plan with Neriman to eliminate Kılıç. While Kartal and Efe are busy with their wedding preparations, Şahin's game pits Kartal and Çetin against each other. Cetin, who realizes that Kılıç has returned, confronts his brother. As a result of the harsh confrontation between the two, Çetin makes an unexpected offer to Kartal and Efe to get rid of Kılıç.

While the Çaka family is making preparations for the wedding with excitement from all sides, Kılıç is on their neck without them noticing. Realizing that after Kartal's last move, Kılıç's revenge plan, which he will take with his own methods, can come true at any moment, Şahin tries to consolidate his position. Kartal, who was dispersed by Kılıç's blow at the wedding, confronts Şahin. In the fierce fight between them, Şahin learns that Kılıç has done much more harm to his family than he thought.

Baybars gives Kılıç, who killed Neriman, the task of bringing back Çetin, the only memory of the woman he loves. While looking for Çetin, Kılıç encounters Efe and a duel begins between the two. While Kartal is trying to protect his family in this process, Kılıç will take a step that Kartal did not calculate.

Thanks to Çetin, Kartal saves Konyalı, but he is determined not to leave Çetin with Baybars. When Bahar realizes that a war similar to the past has begun, she decides to fight alongside Kartal instead of running away. Bahar, who first secures Ateş, then takes action to help Kartal with a clever plan. While Kartal and Efe are struggling to keep the whole family together, they encounter a move they never expected.

Although Kartal and Efe managed to save Çetin, they realize that Baybars will play the game much harder this time. Efe's move to arrest Adnan has tied Baybars' hands, but he thinks that Kartal is the one who will save him from this situation. With the help of Kılıç, he kidnaps Bahar and offers Kartal a deal. Although Efe and Çetin are not sure of Kartal's decision, the possibility of Ateş being in danger will make all three of them dock.

Kartal does not accept that he has lost his favorite woman in life, Bahar. While trying to suppress his pain, his old friend Ferhan, who understands this pain best, appears before him. Ferhan gives Kartal the strength to take action for revenge. Efe and Çetin are aware that they need to bring Kartal back to their senses, even though they missed Kılıç and Baybars at the last moment. But they are always one step behind Kartal, who walks to his death alone in pursuit of revenge. After the tension between Kılıç and Baybars due to Bahar's death, Baybars is forced to continue his escape plan alone. The moment Kartal thinks that he has cornered Baybars, he has to make a choice again.

Having difficulty facing the death of his father, Kılıç begins to eliminate anyone who knows how Baybars was killed. Kılıç puts his brother Çetin, who had a share in the murder of Baybars, on the death list along with Kartal. When the sword strikes most fiercely for revenge, it does more damage to one of the family members. Seeing that violence only breeds more violence, Leyla takes Efe's side against Kartal. Determined to protect his family, Efe turns a blind eye and implements his plan to open the last curtain, including Şahin and Çetin.

It will not be easy for Efe to realize the plan that opened the last curtain with Kartal. The incident that Kartal causes as soon as he enters causes both of them to fall into Kılıç's lap when they least expect it. This incident angers Efe and their arguments with Kartal make both of them question their past. Kartal, who does not give up easily, prepares a big surprise ending for Kılıç when he comes across the ward with a new plan that he gets support from Çetin. The final showdown between Kartal and Kılıç will take everyone's breath away.
