In 10 Days of a Bad Man, Sadık Demir searches for a young boy for Sir while also solving a murder mystery. The movie is now streaming on Netflix.
Plot summary
Sadık Demir meets with an accident in Tosya and is quickly tracked down by Sir after that. Sir unsettles Sadık’s debt and tasks him to look for a playboy roaming in the rich crowd named Ferhat Gönen.
Sadık, who now goes by the name Adil, is a drug addict and agrees to this job only if he is allowed to take his pills from time to time. Sir allows him to do so, but only at select times. Joining Sadık on this mission are Zeynel and Hüso.
To track a young boy like Ferhat, Sadık seeks help from Pınar. She opens an Instagram account for Sadık, as social media is the best place to start looking for a rich, party-going boy like Ferhat.
While Pınar makes her moves to search for Ferhat, Maide calls and requests Sadık to take another case of Dr. Buket Köseoğlu, who is a board member at K&S Health Group.
Dr. Buket’s uncle, Haşmet Köseoğlu, the CEO of K&S Health Group, was attacked and killed in his home a month ago. Her Aunt Jale was badly wounded. Jale identified the killers as Ianna and Ranat, a Moldovian couple that worked at their mansion and had been stealing from them for a while.
Ianna and Ranat haven’t been caught yet, and Buket doesn’t want Sadık to go after them. It’s her mother who wants to hire a private investigator because she thinks Ianna and Ranat are not behind Haşmet’s murder.
One of the reasons Sadık says yes to this case is that he gets to meet a doctor who can prescribe him the drugs he needs.
Sadık meets Buket’s mother, who strongly suspects that Aunt Jale and an accomplice of hers murdered Haşmet. Sadık also learns that Buket is adopted.
Sadık is directed to Kenan, the family’s head butler, who was fired for having an affair with Ianna. Kenan agrees that Ianna and Ranat didn’t murder Haşmet. He likes to think Jale orchestrated this all.
Ianna and Ranat left because they were offered a better job by a man named Timurlenk, who takes care of dogs at the mansion. Sadık fails to find Timur, who also has a daughter named Filiz.
In the meantime, he studies Buket, her mother’s only adopted daughter, and Jale’s children, Gülhan, who is also a doctor, and Canberk, who is good for nothing and only knows how to spend his family’s wealth.
During a family dinner with the Köseoğlus, Sadık hears the name of Şükran from Canberk. Şükran is from Buket and Gülhan’s past, whom they despise.
Buket meets Şükran and learns how vicious Buket and Gülhan can be. When they were kids, someone spread the rumor that these two are lovers. The two of them suspected it to be Şükran and pushed her off the stairs. The accident made Şükran a handicap.
Şükran thinks it was Gülhan who pushed her. However, it was never proven. Sadık finally receives a reply from Filiz, and he starts looking at the whole picture.
Amidst all of this, while looking for Ferhat, Sadık finds out that someone else is also searching for the same boy and is using his name. It’s when Sadık glances upon Ferhat’s chats that he figures out it’s Sir who is trying to trap him.
The texts see Sadık saying that he will kill him for killing Yasemin, who is actually Sir’s niece. For Ferhat, Sir’s niece, Yasemin killed herself. Sir can’t get to Ferhat because he is the son of a Congressman. Hence, he is using Sadık to get his revenge.
Sir only asked Sadık to find Ferhat and report to him. Sir didn’t want Sadık to talk to Ferhat. Now that he has talked to him, Sadık knows Ferhat’s plan to make everything look like Sadık, a jealous lover of Yasemin, killed Ferhat and then killed himself out of guilt.
Amidst all of this, while talking to Buket, Sadık reveals that he lost Fatoş during childbirth and buried her with her mother after fighting his father-in-law.
10 Days of a Bad Man ending explained in detail:
Who is behind Haşmet’s murder?
Once Ianna and Ranat’s bodies are discovered in a frozen state, and after a thorough investigation of his own, Sadık meets Buket and Gülhan and discloses what he has found out. Buket and Gülhan orchestrated this plan.
Buket’s mother was growing jealous since Jale was having Gülhan. For Buket’s mother, Haşmet bought a baby from a woman who was having twins. Years later, Buket’s real father, Timur, showed up to blackmail Haşmet.
Buket learned about her twin, Filiz, and helped her and her father. Meanwhile, a blood test at the family’s new genealogical testing center reveals that Gülhan is not Haşmet’s daughter.
Afraid that Gülhan will lose everything and might get thrown out of the family, Buket orchestrated a plan to kill Haşmet. With the help of Timur, who offered Ianna and Ranat a new job, they pinned the murder on them.
They also got rid of the Doctor who knew about these results, while Timur killed Ianna and Ranat. So far, this is what Sadık has figured out.
What is Gülhan’s confession?
Gülhan confesses that this is only half the truth. She says her father married Jale to have a son. The kind of son Haşmet wanted was not born, so he started abusing Jale, who then turned to her ex-fiancee.
When Haşmet learned that his daughter is not his, he abused Jale again, and the daughter who was his pride suddenly became a bastard in his eyes. Gülhan and Buket confess that they didn’t kill Ianna and Ranat; they actually froze to death.
If Haşmet was alive, all of his wealth would have gone to Canberk, who would have wasted it. Instead of having both of them arrested, Sadık negotiates with them for his painkiller prescription. Gülhan’s impulsive actions suggest she killed Haşmet.
Gülhan and Buket are expecting a baby that is right now in Buket’s twin sister’s womb. After seeing how someone’s misfortune became an unborn girl’s fortune, Sadık decides to keep quiet and let the inheritance of Köseoğlus pass to a new lineage.
What happens to Sir?
After learning Sir’s plan, Sadık devises a plan of his own with Zeynel and Hüso, who turn on Sir and join Sadık after being mistreated by Sir. Sadık meets the president of Kaan Incorporated. Sadık shows proof that suggests Sir killed the Kaan twins.
Sadık and the president shake hands to take Sir down. Sadık builds his army and executes a plan that kills all of Sir’s men. Sadık gets the opportunity to finish off Sir. Before dying, Sir tells Sadık about the money in his safe and what the passcode to it is.
Sadık is constantly popping pills during this mission. He ends up passing out and almost killing himself for the second time after doing it once at the start of the film.
Sadık is rescued by his friends. Sadık starts dating Pınar, and both of them, along with Zeynel and Hüso, go back to run Sadık’s hotel with Meral.
