## Tour (6 steps)

1. An intelligence officer called Ali Candan is given a new face, a new name and a dead gangster's nephew for a cover story. He is sent to take apart the Wolves Council from the inside.
2. The way in is Süleyman Çakır. Blood brother, mafia boss, married into Laz Ziya's family, and the most loved character in Turkish television until the Council had him shot in episode 45.
3. The table itself. Mehmet Karahanlı at the head, Kılıç on his right, Testere Necmi on his left. The other seats hold the guns, drugs, ports, money and foreign partners.
4. The Council falls to its own lawyer. Nizamettin Güvenç kills four of them for a group nobody at the table knew existed. Polat hangs him, then learns the Baron was his father.
5. Pusu opens the map outward. A rogue general, the CIA man from Iraq, and the years that cost Polat his wife and, he believes, his daughter.
6. By the end the enemy has no country and barely a name. Polat keeps rebuilding a team and the Templars keep taking it apart, until only Erhan is left of the men who started in 2003.
