#Attila Olgac

[academyofbrokenhearts]

What I really enjoyed about this episode was not only the glorious payback, but also the fact that it enforced the same message that was shown when Cihangir died - anyone, no matter how monstrous, has someone they care about more than anything.

The revenge was so satisfying. It does ask for a bit of suspense of disbelief (how in the world did four people manage to blow up and kill an entire system of mobsters and mob allies in only one night?), but it ultimately feels so satisfying because it was earned during the show. Ramo spent his time in S2 slowly dismantling the entire system that was keeping Cihangir and his bosses in power, so there is no wonder that by the time of the finale, nothing works in the favour of the big bosses. Divide et impera.

I also like how the theme of family and loyalty is once again highlighted. Ultimately, Ramo is also able to prevail because of people like Guri and Korkut, who owe him and his close ones a debt of life, and feel the need to pay it back.

Also, it's fascinating for me how even when their death hour approaches, Şerif and Kaptan still judge Ramo by themselves. Kaptan offers him money (as if that would ever shake Ramo's resolve), and Şerif sincerely believes that his daughter will be hurt if he does not come to meet Ramo.

Goodbye! He shoots him right into the grave he dug for him.

I fully agree that Kaptan's death was extremely satisfying, and it illustrated the best the type of person Ramo is, but tbh I felt the most giddy when he killed Şerif, purely because of the sadism that guy exhibited. Whenever someone tries to tell me that the finale was unsatisfying, the scene that comes to mind is this one:

LIKE PLS IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THIS UNSATISFYING THIS IS ALL I EVER WANTED FROM LIFE

Ramo, sending Sibel to safety, because “you are my heart” and he needs to protect his heart to continue to live.

Rambel. Glorious from the beginning to the end. But I must say, all their scenes, with the exception of the last one, really looked like a prelude to tragedy. So, so happy it wasn't the case.

Ramo, sending Sibel to safety, because “you are my heart” and he needs to protect his heart to continue to live.

And now she and his fam are gone, he unleashes complete hell, shooting, knifing, blowing shit up etc. All the mob bosses are going down.

Goodbye! He shoots him right into the grave he dug for him.

But my favorite was this dude’s death. The old dude begs Ramo for his life, and Ramo replies “I don’t take that, which belongs to orphans,” turns, walks away and Dogu pops up and blasts the murderer of his mom stone dead.

Truly epic!

One of the greatest things about Ramo is his uncanny ability to come up with the most complex, clever plans, and execute them to perfection. This story arc is particularly satisfying when we think of how defeated he felt only several episodes before, only to end up killing the big boss who seemed invincible at the time. Is there any wonder that Sibel trusts him so completely?

I said it once, and I am going to keep saying it. The greatest mistake Ramo's enemies kept doing is to severely underestimate his abilities. "The fire is mine. The fire walks with me." DAMN RIGHT IT DOES.

The message he sent to Sibel via radio was another favourite moment of mine. I will never be over the way her face lights up when she sees his car outside. They are both so amazing.

The way he manages to communicate with her through the radio - that scene!!!

His plan involves Sibel’s freedom AND the murder of one of the triad who rules Turkish mob, in a way he will get out scot free. His brain!

He stuffs him full of viagra and then calmly chokes him with a pillow just to make sure. Shouldn’t have fucked with him making him believe Sibel was dead.

“What will happen now?” asks Dugu. “End of the world,” says Ramo. As soft as he is for Sibel, he is one scary AF motherfucker.
