Cevat (Engin Akyürek) is a young man who had taken under his protection Uğur's family. Cevat is the beloved of Uğur's young mother. Uğur's younger is bullied at the coffee shop where he works. Cevat protects him and warns the people at the coffee shop not to bully him or else. The day comes when the boy is bullied again. Cevat goes to his aid and beats up Kamil. Zagor breaks the fight up and tells his men to take Kamil outside. Zagor and Cevat start arguing, then Cevat pulls out a gun and is ultimately killed by Zagor in his attempt to prove that he did not fear Zagor. Bekir (Ufuk Bayraktar) is a young man who runs his father's business. He becomes infatuated with Uğur after she visits his shop one day. After a series of violent incidents and mishaps occur in Istanbul, both Uğur and Zagor disappear. They resurface after shooting two policemen and getting caught in Izmir. After Zagor is landed in prison some time afterward, Uğur reappears and asks Bekir to help her. Meanwhile, Zagor is transferred to a prison in Sinop.
