Ömer holds Zehra's hands as she stands behind the bars and tells her that his mind body and soul are prisoners so long as she is in custody. He says he cannot breathe without her. He tells her that he will pay any price, even his life, to get her out of there. Zehra is shocked and says I would never bear such a thing. I will readily remain behind these bars forever to prevent any threat against your life! Freedom without you would be meaningless for me.

He apologizes for using those words and tells her that he actually must remain alive because he has something important to do. He has to become his champion and save her from there. Zehra laughs and their mood lightens up. He then asks her to go over the events once more for him, so they might come up with some clue to their solution. Zehra then describes the events that led to her asking for the one million liras. Ömer apologizes for not taking heed of the letter she left him that day. He then says they should try and see if statements from Canan and Çetin would help. Zehra says Çetin has disappeared. Ömer says then he will talk with Canan.

Ömer calls Sabah and tells her what has happened. Canan is scared confirming that Zehra did everything for her and is innocent. She goes to Officer Murat and gives her statement. In the mean time Sabah visits Zehra and Zehra tells her that she feels strong because Ömer is all behind her and she feels their relationship has completely recuperated.

Officer Murat tells Ömer Canan's statement is not enough to release Zehra. Ömer drives them back to Mahalle with Can. Ömer thanks both of them. Sabah gets off. Canan is upset that her help came to nothing. Before getting off she tells Ömer that she has an idea.

Salim finds out that Yasemin has broken up with Koray and is upset.

Ömer goes home and gets some money from the safe. His grandma comes in again telling him he should get rid of his wife. She says I have left an envelope in your bedroom which you should seriously consider. Asya is in Ömer and Zehra's bedroom looking for Zehra. She picks up the envelope and is about to open it. Ayşe takes it and tells her not to do that. She runs out and into Ömer's arms. She apologizes for opening the envelope in his room. He goes there and gets it from Ayşe and does not say anything about it to her. He then takes it to Bahşende's room and throws it on her desk warning her not to meddle in his life.

He then goes out. He gets a call and says he'll be there shortly. Canan walks up to Çetin in a dark street and gives him some money. He asks how she got it. She snaps at him and says it is none of his business. Canan leaves. Ömer is behind Çetin. Canan has apparently told Ömer that Çetin asked her for money and she arranges to meet him so Ömer can get him. Ömer gives Çetin a little beating telling him he knows all about the photos and the kidnapping and now he is going to go to the police and come clean.

Ömer walks toward Zehra's cell. He is solemn. Zehra runs up to the bars and asks if there are any developments. He takes out a key and says what do you think? She is overjoyed realizing it is the key to the cell. Ömer unlocks the door and takes her in his arms. Officer Murat comes and takes the key and Ömer thanks him for it.

At the House Ayşe and Cevriye are sad that Zehra is not there to join them for dinner. Ayşe wonders if they should start without Ömer. Bahşende says impatiently that there is no need to wait since he has chosen to spend his time around the police station. She adds that she has spoken to the lawyer and it is not likely that Zehra would be released anytime soon.

They are about to sit when Ömer and Zehra walk into the room hand in hand. Everyone runs to them happily. Bahşende is miffed. Before sitting Ömer says he wants to say a few words. He takes out the ring and putting it on Zehra's finger says, this should remain forever where it has always belonged.
