Episode 8 of Season 2 of "Graveyard" opens with a poignant flashback to the moment when Seher discovers that Barah once adorned an angel wings necklace, now inexplicably missing. She persuades Bulent to confess the truth, meticulously recording their conversation, which subsequently comes into Berk's possession. Bulent unveils that on the fatal day Bahar was slain, he was engaged in thieving from a wealthy individual. However, if he were to disclose this information, the affluent man would seek vengeance and end his life.
In the present narrative, whispers in the Graveyard hone in on the suspicion that Bahar's killer could be someone intimate to her, such as her clandestine lover, "Sebastian." Seher had formulated some theories but unfortunately, tore out the pages detailing them. Hasan's family is dissatisfied with his involvement in Bahar's case, adding to his turmoil and inclining him towards abandonment. Despite a foreboding sense, Onem assures him that she will rectify the situation.
Selin finally deciphers the fragmented notes, revealing a stunning revelation: Seher possessed the necklace at the time of her demise. Onem had noticed the distinctive pattern of the pendant embedded in the freshly laid concrete where Seher and Bulent were shot. This revelation points unmistakably towards one conclusion – the killer is the one who wields the necklace.
Why was Mert apprehended? The officers uncovered unsavory revelations from the notes - Mert had purchased Bahar's necklace. Furthermore, Seher had entrusted a video restoration company with CCTV footage from a café, capturing Mert in a heated altercation with Bahar. It seems that Seher had torn the pages in an attempt to shield Mert, who was secretly involved with Bahar. Matters took a turn for the worse when a search warrant led to the discovery of Bahar's necklace nestled in Mert's drawer. Serdar urged its destruction, but Hasan insisted on doing the honorable thing. Mert was accompanied by Sude when the law enforcement officials placed him under arrest.
A flashback transports us to the night of Seher’s demise. Seher confronted Mert with the CCTV footage. Additionally, there were menacing texts he had sent to Bahar after she ended their relationship. Their conversation was cut short by the interruption of their parents, leaving Seher with few answers. In the present, Mert remained tight-lipped, despite the officers' assurances of their support. At this crucial juncture, Doruk arrived as his legal representative.
Nihan was incensed, accusing Hasan of tearing her family apart. Sude was equally distressed, refusing to come to terms with the situation. As Doruk escorted a distraught Nihan home, Onem and Serdar noticed that he possessed a red vintage American car, identical to Sebastian Green's. Despite these revelations, Mert was released. However, Hasan refrained from conversing with him until the genuine perpetrator was apprehended, leaving Serdar deeply concerned for his well-being.
Who falls victim to Doruk's deadly hand? The police unravel the truth: Mert is merely a decoy; Doruk, a family acquaintance of Nasit's, is the real Sebastian. Through this connection, he crossed paths with Bahar. Doruk's past also entangles him with Necmi, Bulent's acquitted smuggling partner, whom he likely enlisted into his sinister plot. Necmi's role became apparent when he "discovered" Bahar's lifeless body and, by sheer accident, captured footage of Bulent injuring his finger.
Further incriminating evidence surfaces when Selin and Berk uncover drafts of sexts between Doruk and Bahar in Sebastian Green's email account. The police's focus then shifts to Necmi, with Hasan taking charge during interrogation, employing a charade of Russian Roulette with an unloaded gun to coerce Necmi into spilling the beans about Doruk's instruction to frame Bulent.
Armed with a search warrant, the officers storm Doruk's residence, catching him in the act with a young woman. Berk discovers a trophy whose design matches the fatal wounds on Bahar's head, while soil from her mouth corresponds with samples from Doruk's garden. The final blow strikes when Doruk's wife files for divorce, heaping further suspicion upon him.
Under interrogation, Doruk feebly asserts that Bahar blackmailed him into ending his marriage, but this tale crumbles under scrutiny. To force a confession, the police devise a deceitful strategy, pretending to have found Bahar's remains buried in Doruk's garden. Cracking under pressure, Doruk admits to the tragic accident. Their heated argument over the blackmail turned physical; in a struggle, Bahar struck her head against the fireplace. In a moment of lost control, Doruk grabbed a statue, and the next thing he knew, she was lifeless. He kept her necklace as a haunting reminder of his grave mistake.
Thus, the harrowing tale of Bahar's demise unfolds, revealing Doruk's dark secret and the lengths to which the police went to uncover the truth.
Who was the perpetrator behind Seher's untimely demise? A haunting flashback depicts Seher discovering the necklace perched atop Doruk's office desk. At this crucial juncture, Gulay's urgent call interrupts her thoughts, informing her that Nasit has embarked on a perilous mission to eliminate Bulent. Prompted by this grim revelation, Seher hastily dials Nasit's number, but to no avail. Driven by an instinct to thwart impending tragedy, she dashes towards his last reported whereabouts, determined to prevent him from committing a heinous act. Alas, she arrives mere moments too late, stepping into Bulent's path at the precise instant Nasit discharges his firearm. The necklace slips from her grasp, symbolizing her shattered hopes. Nasit, struck by an overwhelming sense of horror, finds himself powerless to rescue her.
How does Mert unravel the mystery surrounding Seher's killer? In the present, Doruk confesses his guilt-ridden conscience, revealing that he assisted Nasit in concealing the truth. The police officers ponder over the rationale behind framing Mert and learn from Doruk that he was not the perpetrator; rather, Nasit had taken the necklace following Seher's demise. Doruk surmises that Mert, unaware of its significance, might have retained it as a token of his memories with Bahar. Hasan's recollection of his son's interrogation resurfaces, highlighting the necklace as a crucial clue linking to the murderer.
Mert, piecing together the fragments of the puzzle, confronts Nasit, who is burdened by guilt. As the authorities scramble to the scene, it is already past the point of no return. Overwhelmed by emotion, Mert makes a fatal mistake, inadvertently ending Nasit's life. Sude's podcast declares the Graveyard's victory in the battle, yet acknowledges a hollow sense of triumph. Hasan's heart shatters as Mert is apprehended by the law.
That fateful night, Hasan succumbs to despair, drowning his sorrows in alcohol while Serdar silently observes from afar. Onem collects her plaque and embarks on the journey home, her tears flowing freely. Meanwhile, Sude deletes her podcast, bringing Season 2, Episode 8 of "Graveyard" to a poignant close.
