The Wall (1983) - full transcript
Teens in a Turkish prison struggle to survive under hideous conditions. Made by dying Yilmaz Guney in France, after he escaped from a Turkish prison, enabling him to accept his award at Cannes for Yol (The Road). When the Turkish superstar leading man turned human rights activist, Guney was convicted for pro-Kurdish political activity and murder, by the Turkish military regime. Director/writer Guney's last film, Duvar (The Wall), was banned in Turkey for 17 years. The incarcerated teens organize and fight back, brutalize each other, exult over the smallest triumph, while joking, suffering and learning from the inhumanity they wallow in. The prison also separately houses men and women, many played by other Turkish expatriates.

PRISON
Radio advertisements...
Now I'm announcing the list of people going to
the court tomorrow...
This dormitory does not look like others...
After the director and the guardians, the
chief is God here.
He's called "Forty-one" and is the leader. He's
the bird and sells the grass to the guardians.
He sells children to the other
dormitories.
Some of the children go cleaning
to the other dormitories.
They go as men and come back as
gay, be careful.
You'll be fucked, too.
Pay attention to your shoes and
socks, they can be stolen.
Here is the 4.dormitory, the law here
is like that.
We've some bullies here, one
of them is Aziz.
Beside him is the "Tall". He's
a great pickpocket.
He's the "Arab". He killed the man
disturbing his mother.
- 'Thank God I am well. ' Did you write it?
- I did.
My only worry is you, my dear dad.
Write to me. Send some money
What did you write? Read it.
My dear father firstly I send my regards
and kiss your hands. I wrote nine
letters including this one to you...
...but I couldn?t get any answer...
...if you ask your son...
...Saban thank god I am well...
My only worry is...
...you, my dear daddy, write to me
and send some money.
Is that all?
That's all.
Daddy, I've been in prison
for 153 days
What else?
The moon.
My God, please send me to me
to a better prison.
Me, too.
Amen.
These are all for a hero of
a bad novel.
Any fool can kill himself whenever
he wants to.
What's easier than this?
This is the poorest and the easiest way.
Life is getting difficult, so let's suicide.
Did you try to overcome all
these difficulties?
Without control you can?t
pass.
Sakin Orman, dormitory 1.
Pepe Ali, which dormitory?
Ali Yilmaz, dormitory 3.
Huseyin Karakus, dormitory 2.
Is there anything inside?
No. It's only warning practice.
Welcome, sir.
He's coming here. Quick.
Quick.
Take out the hats. Be
a row.
Attention.
Good, very good. Is there
any meat inside?
Not today, sir.
Doesn't matter. It's good
like this.
Come on and taste, commander.
It's very good.
It's really good.
There is iron in lentil and is
full of calories.
Isn't it, children?
Yes, sir.
How many cooks do you
have?
One civil cook and two helpers
of prisoners.
And we have children.
Good, very good.
But our cauldrons are old and not
enough. We're trying to handle it.
Sure, you have to.
Without doing economy
we can?t make progress.
Every nationalist should do
economy
And in prisons we should do
this double.
You, bastards.
You, sons of bitches.
He says' lentil' and you say
'yes sir'.
What kind of an answer
is this?
- Sorry.
- You, sons of bitches.
You say sorry, just this.
You, bastards, is this an
answer?
Lentil should fuck your
mothers.
Don't, sir.
Don't.
Fuck you.
Fuck your mother.
Do you hear me?
You, fool.
You, shit.
- What should you say?
- I don't know.
- You don't know what to do.
- I didn't do anything.
- Anything?
- No, sir.
It's time to do anything
to this bastard.
Are you crazy? They'll
kill us.
Doesn't matter.
Attention.
Search everybody.
Yes, sir.
Searching. Go to the wall.
- Is the listening line functioning?
- Partly, sir. But the
guardians listen to everything.
It's very noisy and everyone
speaks loudly here.
Empty your pockets. Take out your
shoes. Put everything on you here.
I wish you a good day.
Thank you.
Who is this woman?
A teacher. Her crime is
politic.
Forbidden books and announcements
are found in her house.
Who is this child?
She's born in our prison and will
start school on Monday.
Good. Very good.
Dear sir, they say there
will be dismissal because
of the celebrations of Ataturk's birth year.
May's passed. Is there a
dismissal for us?
This can be known only by
the Security Council. We
can?t say anything.
What's your punishment?
Capital punishment.
What's her crime?
She's killed her husband
with her lover.
He is also our prisoner and
stays in that dormitory.
Go inside. They're coming.
One minute, sir.
If you allow us, sir, we
have some requests.
I know what you'll say
It's always the same thing.
The baths aren't warmed well;
the food doesn't smell good.
We're sleeping two persons
in the same bucket.
Have you got anything
else to say?
What else should we say, sir?
Aren't these enough?
Is there anyone else who wants
to complain?
No one?
Are you the only one?
The food is really bad. For the
people who has money it doesn't matter.
They can handle it as everywhere.
If you have money you
can stay in a good dormitory.
Or you can buy a bunk in front of the
window or visit the bath whenever you wish.
And we're stinking and every week
they examine lice.
Why do they do this, I don't understand.
If you don't wash you get lousy.
If you get lousy the guardians
hit you. It's impossible to live here.
Did we invite you? Did we
say " your bath, your bed,
your food is ready for you"
Did we promise you all these?
Don't forget, you're
prisoners.
But not slaves.
Dear sir, is there a
dismissal?
There is no dismissal. Everyone should
stay till the end of his punishment.
You know how to talk. You have to
know also how to be imprisoned.
If you're guilty you'll be
punished.
You say the food is bad, don't you?
The bunks near the window are
sold, aren't they?
If you have money everything is
OK, isn't it? Take these two.
- And you, fool, big boy.
- Me, sir.
If you do defeating would it be
good for you?
We've respected your age and
haven't out your hair and beard.
But you don't appreciate it. Cut his hair
and beard. Put him into the cell.
Why the lovers would have to be in shame?
Who don't love should have to be ashamed..
I'm sorry for you, sir.
Thanks, son.
I'm taking care of the cell. If
you need anything call me.
My name is Raci but everyone
calls me 'Tall'.
Once you gave me bread,
do you remember?
No, I don't.
For the 4.dormitory it's
forbidden to smoke.
Thank you, son.
Don't gather around here.
Have you got bread?
- Have you got bread?
- Go away.
- Just a very little.
- Go away, go.
We don't have it.
Have you got bread?
Ali, give some bread to
the children.
Everyone is hitting me.
Have you got bread, sir?
Fuck off.
Have you got a piece of bread, brother?
Fuck off.
Go away, go.
Please, brother.
Have you got bread?
Just a piece of it.
- Are you begging again?
- Just a little bit.
Attention. Attention.
All prisoners and condemned
people to their dormitories.
Is there any search?
If you see their dormitories
you'll get frightened.
It's airless, damp.
How do they resist, I
can?t understand.
Friends. Just a minute, please.
You know we don't have enough time.
We should start soon
with the gymnastics.
Let's make a rank
in two.
One.. two.. three.
In five minutes you'll

His nick name is Bald Corporal".
Our prophet is..
Let's forget everything, my

Welcome, friend.
- Hi, brother.
- What's going on, Cafer?
Nothing, my chance isn't
enough.
- Why, Cafer?
- I don't know.
That's all.
We're 53 children. There should be
so many breads;7 are missing.
I know it, too. Ask them, they
know it better.
Our breads are missing again.
Manage it for today.
They're hitting me. They
want bread.
Shut up. Are you still
talking?
I'm talking about breads. Seven
are missing, it's always the same.
Fuck off, you, bastard.
Fuck your bread.
Wait. Wait.
They'll give you inside.
They'll give you inside.
Wait, you, sons of bitches.
Come on, wake up.
Wake up. Hops. Hey, you.
Leave me. You shouldn't jump
on my back, okay?
Wake up.
Before the morning starts..
Wake up.
Idiots. You, silly boys.
God will punish you, you'll see.
Look at the breads.
They're so muddy.
Who can eat these?
If they're missing,
do not take them.
The guardians take them if you
can you can ask them, not me.
Talk correct, you, fagot.
You're fagot.
Are you fighting again?
Are you fighting again?
Stop.
Cafer.
Cafer is coming.

Let's start together.
What's going on?
Otherwise I'll kill you, okay?
Walk.

To your oars.
Fuck the chance. It's

There is nothing to be sorry.
I've good news for you. Come.
What happened?
It's approved but we
don't know.
- Will they hang him?
- Yes.
Come, come my sweet.
Come and take place.
Sit down.
There isn't any news from
the court of appeals.
It's also unknown when they'll
give a date.
Be cool. Don't worry and
trust me..
Is there any hope for dismissal?
They say so. But it's
very secret.
You know, it's the military.
I've brought these packages for
the little one. Look, my sweet.
This is your uniform for the school.
Your collar and your books.
And this is your school bag.
At the mean time I've finished your marriage
procedure and talked to the director.
Next week your wedding
will be performed.
I've also found a wedding dress
for rent. It'll be very nice on Hatice.
They'll give the prison
to the military.
The commander will be
the director.
I don't know for the adults
but for us the fate is always same.
Here is the 4.dormitory, brother.
The lentil is stinking again.
Didn't you hear?
There is iron in lentil. The director
said so. May be that's why it stinks.
Blood is looked for urgently.
For a baby in the baby hospital in
Ankara..
blood group A, RH+ is
looked for urgently.
They're not good. They'll come
to the prison..
build new walls and close the
dormitories.
Zapata. You're called
from the directory. You, fagot.
- Why are they calling me, sir?
- I don't know, go on.
Accountant.
Last night you read
a poem in the dormitory.
Don't play. You read a
poem last night. Talk shortly.
Call them.
Call the children.
What did he read last
night? What did he say?
He said bad things for the state,
for the nation and military.
He said:
"The 4.dormitory has no windows,
Cafer is the God,
the team leaders are the prophets. "
Read it again, we'll listen to it.
Read it.
Here is the 4.dormitory, brother.
It has no windows or they're broken.
There isn't any stove which
makes you warm.
Let's forget everything, my brother,
and smoke cigarette.
Here is the 4.dormitory, brother,
our second address.
Is this what he read last night?
He should continue, he should
continue.
After these comes the communism.
Come on, read it.
Continue, read the rest.
Cafer is the God, isn't it?
The bastards did this to Zapata.
Then into the 6.dormitory
beside the anarchists.
In Izmit children have a TV.
Did you see, what's
going on?
I'll definitely kill Cafer.
Don't be obsessed with Cafer.
They're statesmen. They can
fuck all of us.
They can finish us.
Once in every 15 days they
send the children to the bath.
If it's true they play
football.
Don't believe in Tom.
He's a big liar.
I'm writing a petition. I've
asked for the Izmit prison.
I've written also for 'Stupid'.
Tomorrow he'll have the court
but he's asked for it.
Why Izmit?
If you look through the window
you can see the main street.
Taxies, oars, busses, trucks,
you can even see the sea.
You'll see the sea like this.
Yes, but not so much like here.
Not true. In every prison
they beat the children.
I've been grown up in reformatories,
brother. Don't tell me stories.
It's the same there,
isn't it, Saban?
For sure.
In everywhere it's the
same for children, isn't it?
Yes, it's the same.
I'm fed up with being a child.
Where?
My children, how are you?
What are you doing?
Uncle Ali, uncle Ali.
You've said you'll tell us stories.
Tomorrow night, tomorrow
night. Later..
Later. Good night. Don't
open up your blankets.
It's bold tonight.
Winter is coming.
Tomorrow Cafer starts with the
night watch.
If he asks for me I won't go.
He'll beat you.
He'll beat very much.
One day he asked for me.
I didn't go and he hit me
very much.
And than..
Couldn't you say no?
I couldn?t. I was afraid.
Put your hand off.
What's this, what's this?
You lousy bastard. Not
only one louse..
He has got a squad of louses. You, bastard.
You, the one in the bath.
Why don't they have bath?
Aren't you responsible for them?
Aren't you charged for this?
- They..
- You, shit. Tell me.
They don't. I'm telling them
but they don't.
Isn't it?
Yes, it is.
- Tell them.
- Yes, sir.
How can we take bath?
It's not functioning.
They're selling a gallon of water
for ten liras.
Gas, stove, water..
And we're working so much.
Are 10 bucks too much?
If they've no intention to take
a bath, what do '10 bucks' mean? Is it right?
Yes, chef.
Ask once who's got ten liras?
Most of them have not even
money for tea.
Or for a stamp for the letter. We're
sixty people. How many of us have visitor?
Shut up. Whom are you
talking to?
No one.
Tell me, bastard, what are you doing
if you've louse?
I take a bath, sir. I take it
with cold water.
It's a lie.
I swear.
If you take a bath what
should this be?
Is this from me?
No, it's from the hole of your mother.
It's not from me, chef.
What? Am I slandering?
Then what is this? If it's
not a louse, what is it?
- Please, chef.
- Open your mouth.
Learn how to talk to your chief.
Walk.
Is the control finished?
Yes.
We've five lousy.
They go the hairdresser..
and the others to work.
Go on, walk.
Go on, put on your clothes.
Is this for the doctor? Are you sick?
To go to another prison, uncle Ali.
Dear listeners. Blood is needed
urgently.
It's for a baby from the baby
hospital in Izmir.
- I'm going to the school.
- Today you'll start with the school, my sweet.
I hope you'll be successful
and our fate'll be good.
Our life is finished but
yours should be different.
Because of robbery I'm punished
with three years and six months.
I've been in your prison
for one year.
What are you doing here?
Go to your work.
The rest I want to
finish in Buca prison.
It is for your information.
The children are here, sir.
Come in.
Who is Fatih?
Me, sir.
Necdet?
It's me, sir.
Why are you called 'girl' Necdet?
Are you really a girl?
No, sir, I'm a male.
Did you see his penis?
You, Stupid, did you see?
I've no fault, sir.
I can't even read and write.
You, bastard. I ask if you see
his penis.
I didn't see. I swear, I didn't see.
Who said that I saw it? I've
really no fault.
God damn you.
Tom.
Did you see?
No, I didn't see.
I'm also suspecting that he's a girl.
Look at his face. He's like a girl.
Look at his cheeks. They should belong
to a girl. Touch them.
He can show it.
So we can understand if he's
a male or not.
okay, he'll show it.
Show us if you're male or female.
I swear I'm a male. Please
believe me.
I said 'show it', son of a bitch,
show it.
Otherwise I'll send you to the
dormitory of women.
Show it.
It'll be shameful, sir.
It's shameful.
Fuck your shame. Show it.
Please, sir. It's very shameful.
You're not showing it, are you?
Are you?
You're refusing to show it, aren't
you?
Okay, sir. I'm opening it.
I'm showing it.
Show it. Open it, you, bastard.
You, shit. You're not even circumcised.
Close it, close it.
God damn you.
Leave it. Leave it.
Why aren't you circumcised?
Aren't you a Moslem?
I swear I'm a Moslem.
You shouldn't say like this.
You should say 'Thank God I'm a Moslem. '
I understand, sir.
- Do you know the Confession of Faith?
- Yes.
Tell it.
I swear I know it but
I forget it.
What shall we do now?
I've an idea. Let's don't
accept his petition.
Okay. Let's put his petition
into the stove.
This is it. Put it into the stove.
When you learn the Confession
of Faith you can bring your petition.
Then I'll send you to the prison
which you want to.
Understand? Now get out of here.
Get out. I don't want to see you.
Get out.
You're not happy with our hotel, aren't
you?
What are you not glad with?
I'm very glad with you but I'm
not happy in the dormitory.
I've no complaints. I'm
very glad, too.
But I've heard that in Izmit
children have a TV.
They can also see the sea
from the window.
I also want Buca. Children
play football there.
If it's true they go once in a
month to the bath.
And you, Stupid?
Me?
No, your mother's cunt.
You, of course.
Me. I don't know how to write
a petition.
Okay, children, I understand.
Soon I'll send you to the prisons you
want to.
Is it true? When shall we go?
Soon.
You're on the list of the court.
We're looking for you. Where are you?
Bonzo, do you remember our Karabas?
Are you talking about the cripple
of the orphanage?
Yes. Can you bring it?
Don't you have something else
to think of? I don't go there.
You, bastard. Are you struggling
with dogs again?
Last week I couldn?t come,
forgive me, my son.
Did you find a job?
I go cleaning to a house
twice a week.
I've left forty-five liras
for you.
They'll allow the visits twice a month.
I've seen. They've put it on the door.
My court is on the 20th
of this month.
They say in other prisons
they have TV.
Is there any news from my father?
What kind of a news? He won't be
back. He's left us. Forget him.
Up till now it's forbidden to
bring something.
Did you use lipstick?
No.
There is colour on it.
You think so. There isn't
anything.
I swear the chief guardian threw
all the petitions away.
But he said 'get ready to us'.
- He made fun of you.
- What a chance.
Shit.
Give that to me. This is for
the one who go to the court.
isn't it cooked, you asshole.
Wait a second, you asshole.
I've got the date friends, I am released.
He told me that I'm free and I've shouted
'Long live justice. ' to him.
I've got it fellas.
I am free now.
Gogol, there is a favour that you can do.
Do that for me.
What?
You remember Karabas the dog at the orphanage?
Ah, the crippled whore?
Can you find her?
What will you do with that dog?
I miss her so much. She will remember me.
She always used to come to
my arms and be very happy.
Of course she was...
Will you do that?
Where?
To you as a visitor, huh?
You forgot that only the same family name
visitors may come.
In the evening, when I go emptying the garbage,
if you bring her to the court of the school...
...maybe I see her.
What's the problem of Ziya?
I knew that he is crazy but now I know that
he is completely out of his mind.
There was a dog at the orphanage.
We used to call her crippled bitch.
Everybody fucked her.
Come on, you bastard.
There is no humanity at the 4th dormitory now.
What's this Karabas story.
The dog of the orphanage
was a sympathetic animal.
I loved her very much.
Some of the guys there used to fuck her
but I never did... Never...
They are calling you, run.
guardian Cafer waits for you.
- Are you kidding?
- I'm not.
Why do they call me,
I don't understand.
I didn't do anything.
Run, come on.
I said faster.
Run, you bastard.
Why are they calling me?
I didn't do anything.
I'm sure you did something.
I swear I didn't chief.
How old are you?
14, chief.
Good, 14...
Come with me, your bomb has just exploded.
Now listen carefully to me, Saban.
And answer my questions.
If you try to lie to me I'll
crush you. Do you understand?
Since when are you at this prison?
- A hundred...
- What hundred? Hundred days?
153 days.
What were you doing to live
when you were out?
Who was responsible for you?
Did you swallow your tongue?
Answer me.
Who was responsible for you?
Answer me.
I've heard that you wrote some letters and
demanded money from them.
Then?
Did you write letter to anyone and want money?
Answer, did you write?
No.
You are lying, bastard. What about these letters?
Is this yours, Saban?
Answer me.
Do you know somebody called Salih Avsar?
Yes.
Did you make him write these letters?
Salih Avsar, to the Salvation Grocery..
Answer.
"My dearest dad...
...First I say hello to you
...and I kiss both of your hands.
Daddy, I don't get any news from you "
Did you make it written?
No.
Don't lie.
Did you?
Yes, I did.
This grocer Salih Afsar is your father.
Yes, he's my father.
Is he your real father or your stepfather?
My real father.
Good.
Do you know this man?
Is he your father?
You liar bastard.
If you write any other letter to anyone
who doesn't know you, I'll break your hands.
Do you understand?
Yes.
My wife has read the recent letter.
She asked from whom I made these bastards.
I'm sorry, son.
I am also a father, I have children.
Don't write or call me father.
Call me uncle for example...
I gave 200 liras for you to the chief.
If you need something you may write.
I am sorry.
Here, 100 liras for you
And the other 100 liras will
be left in the directory.
For your future needs.
And that bag is yours. Go and take it.
Kiss your uncle?s hand.
He thinks he's going to fool around.
What's happening here?
Saban's father has come.
He has no fathers or mothers.
I knew him from the orphanage.
We both grown up there.
And we have no families.
Hey, buddies. We have found the stove.
Now we can cook lentils, hey.
Long live lentils.
And long live the stove.
Attention, attention.
All the prisoners of the 2nd dormitory
will be prepared for the bath.
After that,
it is bathing time for dormitory 3.
Courage, sister, courage.
Thank you.
What's yours?
Murder.
And you, why are you here?
I asked you your guilt, you bitch.
Mother Dudu, What's her guilt?
Is it prostitution?
Yes, you are right. She was a street bitch.
Its easily be understood.
Louse. All her hair is full of louse.
If this woman enters here like this,
all of us will be lousy then.
What's the buzz?
The woman was lousy.
They took her to the bath.

I've killed my husband.

see what it means to betray
Prepare the money, come on Money.. Money.
Oh, good, bless you, good boys.
We have a plan with Aziz but
it has to be a secret. Ok.?
We have thought deeply on it and we have
decided to reveal it to you, and to you Ziya.
- We will escape.
- Go back to your bed bastard..
How?
This evening, when we are out to the garbage.
We shall pass the wall of the school.
What about gendarmes?
who cares gendarmes.
They shoot us.
It doesn't matter. Even for one day freedom
its good.
- Ziya...
- lay down.
This is not easy.
Where will you hide?
Aziz knows a gangster.
And he has got 1.000 liras
And when we get out, we'll make a
robbery and be rich.
I have a hat and I'll buy a black shirt.
And if you come too we'll be 4 people.
Its easier then to be a gang.
'The gang of the 4 masks'
what about this name?
Shall we be gangsters then?
When we become gangsters, you'll live
the life.
We all will have women at the whorehouse.
We'll have pistols at hand
and money at our pockets.
Everyday we'll eat at restaurant.
We'll eat delicious food.
They won't take us to the whorehouse.
We are young.
Are you crazy? Who cares how old you are
if you have money.
What about Cafer?
We'll shoot him outside. Bang.
He's dead...
And Cafer is on the ground.
- Aziz has got a pistol.
- Outside, huh?
- Yes.
Please take me with you.
Lay down to your bed.
I won't tell anybody. Please...
Lay down to your bed.
I'll give you my 200 liras. And I'll give you
my bag. There is everything in it.
Lay down.
We will shoot Cafer.
- We will absolutely shoot him.
Surely we will shoot him. Surely.

Master Ali,

Come on let's go.
I am afraid.
Come on, don't be afraid
I am really frightened.
Don't be silly.

Let's give up.
He is there, he is waiting
Let him wait. I will kill him anyway.
On the first occasion I will kill him.
He will beat us afterwards,

Explain everything to the Doctor. If he
doesn't believe you, tell him to visit you thoroughly.
Insist, don't be afraid. If he needs witnesses,
give my name and that of Ziya.
- He will beat us.
- Don't care..
What's your problem?
I have.. the thing...
The thing...
Last night, I was sleeping...
You were sleeping, and then?
I peed in the bed.
Yes... and then? Is that all?
Don't be shy, tell me.
Nothing.. I have just a headache, That's all.
Go out, Bastard.
What a liar.
Out of here.
Dear Doctor, how are you?
Are you angry? with me?
I see, you know how these prisoners are...
They ask for pills and also for drugs.
Don't be angry. This is a prison.
Ok. I will say the necessary words
to all guardians. Send them all to me.
Of course, send them to me.
Attention, attention.
All the guardians and cell personnel,
are requested urgently to the direction
The other day I have talked to all of you,
haven't I?
I have told that I was going to
punish whoever would lie.
We are ill Sir. Really sick.
Shut-up you idiot.
Do you know better than the
doctor if you are sick or not?
And you? what is your problem?
Talk.
tell everything to Mr. Director.
I feel like throwing up, I feel
dizzy and I see nightmares.
I know your illness..
You want to run away from work..
It is not that easy.
Sir. We...
Silence.
You want pills from the Doctor huh?
Mow them all. All of them.
We will see then.
Everybody Out. Out.
From now on, you will check the prisoners who want
to see the doctor and be sure that they are not liars..
You will have to decide if they have
some real health problems
Not everyone who claims to be ill is really ill.
Sir, we know nothing about illness.
This is a Doctor?s job.
What do you mean "you know
nothing", you will check them.
Open their mouths, make them
say "AAA", make them cough
Haven't you ever been to the doctor?
Yes. But I was the patient.
Enough with this nonsense.
You will do as I say.
You chiefs, You can tell who is
sick and who is not, can't you?
You will help the guardians.
The guardians will choose the patients
From now on, we will be the doctors.
That's what the Director said.
He said that we will check first the
boys and prisoners who are ill.
Open your moot, cough, breath...
Then sing the song: "I left sadly,
I came back with joy. "
We left sad and we came back joyfully.
My foot Joyfully.
Look at the conditions of these babies.
They have thought us during
the military service..
"Ten years of war and ten years
of victories. Now it is the babies
who are singing the same song.
It has been 30 years since
Still we do not have a pant of our own.
Ten years of war,
ten years of victories. My ass.
You stop doing this job my friend,
you find yourself another job..
If I could, I wouldn't stay here
not for one minute.
- I am sorry.
- Go away.
- I was very afraid.
- Go away.
Don't talk to me again.
I said go away.
- I was very afraid.
Don't talk to me again.
I am sorry, brother. I was frightened.
If you like I will tell tomorrow.
Go away from me. If you don't move your bed
at night I'll throw it away.
Where can I go?
Don't make me go please.
Fuck off, do you hear me?
Brother Ziya...
Don't talk to me.
Brother Zima let me...
I said don't talk to me, you bastard.
Count.
- 1.
- 2.
- 71.
- 72.
74. the end.
God save you.
I said to this idiot Saban not to be afraid,
and not to say anything.
But he spoiled everything.
What's this noise in the women's
dormitory?
Hatice and Samil are marrying tomorrow.
Close his mouth, quick.
Brother, I want to talk to you.
What do you mean?
I was mistaken. I apologize.
I have 100 liras. I give it to you.
Please don't leave me alone.
I'm afraid...
Don't talk to me, you asshole.
Saban, stop... Don't go...
They'll shoot you.
His statement is taken...
...and he said there is nothing left to say.
You idiot. You couldn?t manage 4 children.
For ten years you couldn?t learn
how to be a guardian.
He just ran away sir, suddenly ran away.
How can I know that?
His statement is over. Sign it.
Prepare your defence. Take out your uniform.
We don't want you anymore.
Am I fired?
No, I'm just taking you away.
Get out. Tell your problem at the court.
This idiot Saban has wasted the plan.
Saban is dead.
I learned that.
And Ziya?
Ziya's gone.
Aziz is with you. He says he
ruined everything.
He's angry to Ziya too.
And you?
Me too.
You said we would run away together.
When Saban began to run to
the court, I was panicked.
We didn't have a penny.
Neither Ziya nor me.
I'll shoot Cafer.
Do not hurry.
They gave 15 days of sentence.
Wait for me. I have a new idea.
A new way. A mutiny...
If we rebel they take us to another place.
And we'll shoot Cafer
together in the mutiny.
And other boys will also be with us.
Some of them will not be interested.
We'll shoot them all.
Attention! Today you are going to give...
blood for the Red Cross
although there is no necessity...
to give blood is sacred
for every Turc
Is it good now, you idiot?
Was it easy to run away?
They've brought Ziya.
Where did you go? Tell us.
Hey, wake up...
Take him out.
Hey boys, come and help us.
Come on...
They've beaten me so much.
And Saban?
Saban is dead.
They've also caught the Tall. He is at the
cell now.
Did you see Karabas?
No. They've poisoned her.
The municipality police did.
There is no where left in life for us.
No place.
If I've had parents I would stand
this sentence even for 100 years.
100 years.
Karabas is dead. And there is nobody
left who loves me.
We have decided to rebel with the friends.
Maybe they take us to a better prison.
Even if we are not successful,
the children after us...
...will be safe. They'll change dormitory 4.
I don't think so.
Dormitory 4 will never change.
There's no life outside.
Nobody cares for anybody.
Everybody runs for something.
Where do they run?
My mother called me 'my bird,
my peasant'...
She used to caress me with love...
She was so kind to me...
And now Karabas is also died.
And no body's left to hold my hand...
guardian.
What?
The boy is sick.
It's very serious.
What does he have?
I don' know.
He can't speak.
The runaway kid is very sick.
But he is dead.
Look at him. He is cold.
- Where do you take a dead man?
- To the hospital.
Gendarme.
Ask the boy if he has money.
If so take a taxi to the hospital.
What taxi? He is dead.
What? Is he dead?
Gendarme. Who is the one
taken out from the infirmary?
Is he the one who came today?
I don't know. You'll learn it tomorrow.
alert. alert. There is mutiny in the
anarchists? dormitory.
There is mutiny at dormitory 6.
We have informed gendarme, sir.
All right, sir.
There may be run away.
The director follows all closely, sir.
Here are our demands:
You'll give an end to torture.
Two, stop with the segregation...
Come here. The baby is coming out.
Bring here hot water and clean towels.
Take me my washing glows quick.
A woman is having a baby, guardians.
Courage.
It's a boy.
Attorney General is here, sir.

Down with the Fascism.
Only solution; The revolution.

I am reading the ones who have visitors...
Uncle Ali. Uncle Ali.
My children.
I'll miss you all...
Don't hit my children. Don't hit them.
Hey, What's up?
How many?
9.
We all have skewers and
we've got one for you.
To night Cafer begins duty.
Tonight is the night of destiny for us.
When we get Cafer it will be OK.
According to our plan Garip will
cause a fight with the man at the bath.
He'll shoot him. We shall be calling
help from the window.
Of course Cafer will come firstly.
When he enters, I...
Tom and Birol,
will attack him at both sides.
The fat, Necdet, Nadir, Sukru
will close the gates.
We'll put the beds against the doors.
Uzun will call the dormitory to the mutiny.
guardian. guardian.
There's mutiny.
- Why are you shouting?
- mutiny.
What?
Alert.
This is a mutiny.
Beds to the gates.
Put them against the windows.
This is our last chance to change.
The boys at the 4th dormitory have rebelled, sir.
They want to kill Cafer.
To transfer to another prison, sir.
The director is an asshole.
Listen to me children.
What do you want?
We want to go to another prison.
We don't want you, guardians beat us.
We want stoves.
Its enough.
We want to go.
Break all the gates. This mutiny will diffuse
to all the prison if we are late.
Attention.
Who gave you this idea huh?
Who gave you.
I'll show you what mutiny is...
Beat them. come on.
Attention.
The ones I read will go into a row.
The others will go to another prison
There can be nowhere worse than here.
Let's go wherever they take us.
What shall we be, chief?
You'll go to another prison
some other time.
Stop.
Half-tour.
3 steps ahead. Go.
Half-tour.
Attention.
Radio advertisements...
Search them all.
Take all of your clothes.
Quick.
Shirts and pants. all of them.
The pants I said.
Why don't you take them,
you bastards.
- God save you friends.
- Thank you.
PRISON
Radio advertisements...
Now I'm announcing the list of people going to
the court tomorrow...
This dormitory does not look like others...
After the director and the guardians, the
chief is God here.
He's called "Forty-one" and is the leader. He's
the bird and sells the grass to the guardians.
He sells children to the other
dormitories.
Some of the children go cleaning
to the other dormitories.
They go as men and come back as
gay, be careful.
You'll be fucked, too.
Pay attention to your shoes and
socks, they can be stolen.
Here is the 4.dormitory, the law here
is like that.
We've some bullies here, one
of them is Aziz.
Beside him is the "Tall". He's
a great pickpocket.
He's the "Arab". He killed the man
disturbing his mother.
- 'Thank God I am well. ' Did you write it?
- I did.
My only worry is you, my dear dad.
Write to me. Send some money
What did you write? Read it.
My dear father firstly I send my regards
and kiss your hands. I wrote nine
letters including this one to you...
...but I couldn?t get any answer...
...if you ask your son...
...Saban thank god I am well...
My only worry is...
...you, my dear daddy, write to me
and send some money.
Is that all?
That's all.
Daddy, I've been in prison
for 153 days
What else?
The moon.
My God, please send me to me
to a better prison.
Me, too.
Amen.
These are all for a hero of
a bad novel.
Any fool can kill himself whenever
he wants to.
What's easier than this?
This is the poorest and the easiest way.
Life is getting difficult, so let's suicide.
Did you try to overcome all
these difficulties?
Without control you can?t
pass.
Sakin Orman, dormitory 1.
Pepe Ali, which dormitory?
Ali Yilmaz, dormitory 3.
Huseyin Karakus, dormitory 2.
Is there anything inside?
No. It's only warning practice.
Welcome, sir.
He's coming here. Quick.
Quick.
Take out the hats. Be
a row.
Attention.
Good, very good. Is there
any meat inside?
Not today, sir.
Doesn't matter. It's good
like this.
Come on and taste, commander.
It's very good.
It's really good.
There is iron in lentil and is
full of calories.
Isn't it, children?
Yes, sir.
How many cooks do you
have?
One civil cook and two helpers
of prisoners.
And we have children.
Good, very good.
But our cauldrons are old and not
enough. We're trying to handle it.
Sure, you have to.
Without doing economy
we can?t make progress.
Every nationalist should do
economy
And in prisons we should do
this double.
You, bastards.
You, sons of bitches.
He says' lentil' and you say
'yes sir'.
What kind of an answer
is this?
- Sorry.
- You, sons of bitches.
You say sorry, just this.
You, bastards, is this an
answer?
Lentil should fuck your
mothers.
Don't, sir.
Don't.
Fuck you.
Fuck your mother.
Do you hear me?
You, fool.
You, shit.
- What should you say?
- I don't know.
- You don't know what to do.
- I didn't do anything.
- Anything?
- No, sir.
It's time to do anything
to this bastard.
Are you crazy? They'll
kill us.
Doesn't matter.
Attention.
Search everybody.
Yes, sir.
Searching. Go to the wall.
- Is the listening line functioning?
- Partly, sir. But the
guardians listen to everything.
It's very noisy and everyone
speaks loudly here.
Empty your pockets. Take out your
shoes. Put everything on you here.
I wish you a good day.
Thank you.
Who is this woman?
A teacher. Her crime is
politic.
Forbidden books and announcements
are found in her house.
Who is this child?
She's born in our prison and will
start school on Monday.
Good. Very good.
Dear sir, they say there
will be dismissal because
of the celebrations of Ataturk's birth year.
May's passed. Is there a
dismissal for us?
This can be known only by
the Security Council. We
can?t say anything.
What's your punishment?
Capital punishment.
What's her crime?
She's killed her husband
with her lover.
He is also our prisoner and
stays in that dormitory.
Go inside. They're coming.
One minute, sir.
If you allow us, sir, we
have some requests.
I know what you'll say
It's always the same thing.
The baths aren't warmed well;
the food doesn't smell good.
We're sleeping two persons
in the same bucket.
Have you got anything
else to say?
What else should we say, sir?
Aren't these enough?
Is there anyone else who wants
to complain?
No one?
Are you the only one?
The food is really bad. For the
people who has money it doesn't matter.
They can handle it as everywhere.
If you have money you
can stay in a good dormitory.
Or you can buy a bunk in front of the
window or visit the bath whenever you wish.
And we're stinking and every week
they examine lice.
Why do they do this, I don't understand.
If you don't wash you get lousy.
If you get lousy the guardians
hit you. It's impossible to live here.
Did we invite you? Did we
say " your bath, your bed,
your food is ready for you"
Did we promise you all these?
Don't forget, you're
prisoners.
But not slaves.
Dear sir, is there a
dismissal?
There is no dismissal. Everyone should
stay till the end of his punishment.
You know how to talk. You have to
know also how to be imprisoned.
If you're guilty you'll be
punished.
You say the food is bad, don't you?
The bunks near the window are
sold, aren't they?
If you have money everything is
OK, isn't it? Take these two.
- And you, fool, big boy.
- Me, sir.
If you do defeating would it be
good for you?
We've respected your age and
haven't out your hair and beard.
But you don't appreciate it. Cut his hair
and beard. Put him into the cell.
Why the lovers would have to be in shame?
Who don't love should have to be ashamed..
I'm sorry for you, sir.
Thanks, son.
I'm taking care of the cell. If
you need anything call me.
My name is Raci but everyone
calls me 'Tall'.
Once you gave me bread,
do you remember?
No, I don't.
For the 4.dormitory it's
forbidden to smoke.
Thank you, son.
Don't gather around here.
Have you got bread?
- Have you got bread?
- Go away.
- Just a very little.
- Go away, go.
We don't have it.
Have you got bread?
Ali, give some bread to
the children.
Everyone is hitting me.
Have you got bread, sir?
Fuck off.
Have you got a piece of bread, brother?
Fuck off.
Go away, go.
Please, brother.
Have you got bread?
Just a piece of it.
- Are you begging again?
- Just a little bit.
Attention. Attention.
All prisoners and condemned
people to their dormitories.
Is there any search?
If you see their dormitories
you'll get frightened.
It's airless, damp.
How do they resist, I
can?t understand.
Friends. Just a minute, please.
You know we don't have enough time.
We should start soon
with the gymnastics.
Let's make a rank
in two.
One.. two.. three.
In five minutes you'll
be fine.
Here is the 4th dormitory, brother.
There isn't any stove
which makes you warm.
Let's forget everything, my
brother and smoke a cigarette.
Here is the 4.dormitory, my brother.
Our second address. If you ask our
God he's the guardian Cafer.
His nick name is Bald Corporal".
Our prophet is..
Let's forget everything, my
brother, and smoke a cigarette.
Here is the 4.dormitory, my brother.
The second address in our fate.
Yours is telling poems again.
If you're the servant
of the revolutionaries..
It's announced from the
directory of the prison: One
Visiting the prison three
times in a week will change..
and be two times in a month
starting with this month.
Two:
People won't be able to see each other
if they don't have the same surname.
Three:
food or beverage will be refused.
Five:
From tomorrow on it's forbidden
to go from one dormitory to
another and wait in front
of the door. It's for
your information.
Welcome, friend.
- Hi, brother.
- What's going on, Cafer?
Nothing, my chance isn't
enough.
- Why, Cafer?
- I don't know.
That's all.
We're 53 children. There should be
so many breads;7 are missing.
I know it, too. Ask them, they
know it better.
Our breads are missing again.
Manage it for today.
They're hitting me. They
want bread.
Shut up. Are you still
talking?
I'm talking about breads. Seven
are missing, it's always the same.
Fuck off, you, bastard.
Fuck your bread.
Wait. Wait.
They'll give you inside.
They'll give you inside.
Wait, you, sons of bitches.
Come on, wake up.
Wake up. Hops. Hey, you.
Leave me. You shouldn't jump
on my back, okay?
Wake up.
Before the morning starts..
Wake up.
Idiots. You, silly boys.
God will punish you, you'll see.
Look at the breads.
They're so muddy.
Who can eat these?
If they're missing,
do not take them.
The guardians take them if you
can you can ask them, not me.
Talk correct, you, fagot.
You're fagot.
Are you fighting again?
Are you fighting again?
Stop.
Cafer.
Cafer is coming.
One.. two..
Let's start together.
What's going on?
Otherwise I'll kill you, okay?
Walk.
Come on, walk.
Our ball. Our ball.
You, fat boy.
You, stupid.
To your oars.
Fuck the chance. It's
bad again.
What shall we do?
- Garib.
- Yes, chef.
Come on, you, stupid.
What are these?
What are all these?
Come on here, stupid.
What are these?
Hi, what's going on?
- Nothing.
- You look good.
Thanks. And how are you?
Is there any news?
There is nothing to be sorry.
I've good news for you. Come.
What happened?
It's approved but we
don't know.
- Will they hang him?
- Yes.
Come, come my sweet.
Come and take place.
Sit down.
There isn't any news from
the court of appeals.
It's also unknown when they'll
give a date.
Be cool. Don't worry and
trust me..
Is there any hope for dismissal?
They say so. But it's
very secret.
You know, it's the military.
I've brought these packages for
the little one. Look, my sweet.
This is your uniform for the school.
Your collar and your books.
And this is your school bag.
At the mean time I've finished your marriage
procedure and talked to the director.
Next week your wedding
will be performed.
I've also found a wedding dress
for rent. It'll be very nice on Hatice.
They'll give the prison
to the military.
The commander will be
the director.
I don't know for the adults
but for us the fate is always same.
Here is the 4.dormitory, brother.
The lentil is stinking again.
Didn't you hear?
There is iron in lentil. The director
said so. May be that's why it stinks.
Blood is looked for urgently.
For a baby in the baby hospital in
Ankara..
blood group A, RH+ is
looked for urgently.
They're not good. They'll come
to the prison..
build new walls and close the
dormitories.
Zapata. You're called
from the directory. You, fagot.
- Why are they calling me, sir?
- I don't know, go on.
Accountant.
Last night you read
a poem in the dormitory.
Don't play. You read a
poem last night. Talk shortly.
Call them.
Call the children.
What did he read last
night? What did he say?
He said bad things for the state,
for the nation and military.
He said:
"The 4.dormitory has no windows,
Cafer is the God,
the team leaders are the prophets. "
Read it again, we'll listen to it.
Read it.
Here is the 4.dormitory, brother.
It has no windows or they're broken.
There isn't any stove which
makes you warm.
Let's forget everything, my brother,
and smoke cigarette.
Here is the 4.dormitory, brother,
our second address.
Is this what he read last night?
He should continue, he should
continue.
After these comes the communism.
Come on, read it.
Continue, read the rest.
Cafer is the God, isn't it?
The bastards did this to Zapata.
Then into the 6.dormitory
beside the anarchists.
In Izmit children have a TV.
Did you see, what's
going on?
I'll definitely kill Cafer.
Don't be obsessed with Cafer.
They're statesmen. They can
fuck all of us.
They can finish us.
Once in every 15 days they
send the children to the bath.
If it's true they play
football.
Don't believe in Tom.
He's a big liar.
I'm writing a petition. I've
asked for the Izmit prison.
I've written also for 'Stupid'.
Tomorrow he'll have the court
but he's asked for it.
Why Izmit?
If you look through the window
you can see the main street.
Taxies, oars, busses, trucks,
you can even see the sea.
You'll see the sea like this.
Yes, but not so much like here.
Not true. In every prison
they beat the children.
I've been grown up in reformatories,
brother. Don't tell me stories.
It's the same there,
isn't it, Saban?
For sure.
In everywhere it's the
same for children, isn't it?
Yes, it's the same.
I'm fed up with being a child.
Where?
My children, how are you?
What are you doing?
Uncle Ali, uncle Ali.
You've said you'll tell us stories.
Tomorrow night, tomorrow
night. Later..
Later. Good night. Don't
open up your blankets.
It's bold tonight.
Winter is coming.
Tomorrow Cafer starts with the
night watch.
If he asks for me I won't go.
He'll beat you.
He'll beat very much.
One day he asked for me.
I didn't go and he hit me
very much.
And than..
Couldn't you say no?
I couldn?t. I was afraid.
Put your hand off.
What's this, what's this?
You lousy bastard. Not
only one louse..
He has got a squad of louses. You, bastard.
You, the one in the bath.
Why don't they have bath?
Aren't you responsible for them?
Aren't you charged for this?
- They..
- You, shit. Tell me.
They don't. I'm telling them
but they don't.
Isn't it?
Yes, it is.
- Tell them.
- Yes, sir.
How can we take bath?
It's not functioning.
They're selling a gallon of water
for ten liras.
Gas, stove, water..
And we're working so much.
Are 10 bucks too much?
If they've no intention to take
a bath, what do '10 bucks' mean? Is it right?
Yes, chef.
Ask once who's got ten liras?
Most of them have not even
money for tea.
Or for a stamp for the letter. We're
sixty people. How many of us have visitor?
Shut up. Whom are you
talking to?
No one.
Tell me, bastard, what are you doing
if you've louse?
I take a bath, sir. I take it
with cold water.
It's a lie.
I swear.
If you take a bath what
should this be?
Is this from me?
No, it's from the hole of your mother.
It's not from me, chef.
What? Am I slandering?
Then what is this? If it's
not a louse, what is it?
- Please, chef.
- Open your mouth.
Learn how to talk to your chief.
Walk.
Is the control finished?
Yes.
We've five lousy.
They go the hairdresser..
and the others to work.
Go on, walk.
Go on, put on your clothes.
Is this for the doctor? Are you sick?
To go to another prison, uncle Ali.
Dear listeners. Blood is needed
urgently.
It's for a baby from the baby
hospital in Izmir.
- I'm going to the school.
- Today you'll start with the school, my sweet.
I hope you'll be successful
and our fate'll be good.
Our life is finished but
yours should be different.
Because of robbery I'm punished
with three years and six months.
I've been in your prison
for one year.
What are you doing here?
Go to your work.
The rest I want to
finish in Buca prison.
It is for your information.
The children are here, sir.
Come in.
Who is Fatih?
Me, sir.
Necdet?
It's me, sir.
Why are you called 'girl' Necdet?
Are you really a girl?
No, sir, I'm a male.
Did you see his penis?
You, Stupid, did you see?
I've no fault, sir.
I can't even read and write.
You, bastard. I ask if you see
his penis.
I didn't see. I swear, I didn't see.
Who said that I saw it? I've
really no fault.
God damn you.
Tom.
Did you see?
No, I didn't see.
I'm also suspecting that he's a girl.
Look at his face. He's like a girl.
Look at his cheeks. They should belong
to a girl. Touch them.
He can show it.
So we can understand if he's
a male or not.
okay, he'll show it.
Show us if you're male or female.
I swear I'm a male. Please
believe me.
I said 'show it', son of a bitch,
show it.
Otherwise I'll send you to the
dormitory of women.
Show it.
It'll be shameful, sir.
It's shameful.
Fuck your shame. Show it.
Please, sir. It's very shameful.
You're not showing it, are you?
Are you?
You're refusing to show it, aren't
you?
Okay, sir. I'm opening it.
I'm showing it.
Show it. Open it, you, bastard.
You, shit. You're not even circumcised.
Close it, close it.
God damn you.
Leave it. Leave it.
Why aren't you circumcised?
Aren't you a Moslem?
I swear I'm a Moslem.
You shouldn't say like this.
You should say 'Thank God I'm a Moslem. '
I understand, sir.
- Do you know the Confession of Faith?
- Yes.
Tell it.
I swear I know it but
I forget it.
What shall we do now?
I've an idea. Let's don't
accept his petition.
Okay. Let's put his petition
into the stove.
This is it. Put it into the stove.
When you learn the Confession
of Faith you can bring your petition.
Then I'll send you to the prison
which you want to.
Understand? Now get out of here.
Get out. I don't want to see you.
Get out.
You're not happy with our hotel, aren't
you?
What are you not glad with?
I'm very glad with you but I'm
not happy in the dormitory.
I've no complaints. I'm
very glad, too.
But I've heard that in Izmit
children have a TV.
They can also see the sea
from the window.
I also want Buca. Children
play football there.
If it's true they go once in a
month to the bath.
And you, Stupid?
Me?
No, your mother's cunt.
You, of course.
Me. I don't know how to write
a petition.
Okay, children, I understand.
Soon I'll send you to the prisons you
want to.
Is it true? When shall we go?
Soon.
You're on the list of the court.
We're looking for you. Where are you?
Bonzo, do you remember our Karabas?
Are you talking about the cripple
of the orphanage?
Yes. Can you bring it?
Don't you have something else
to think of? I don't go there.
You, bastard. Are you struggling
with dogs again?
Last week I couldn?t come,
forgive me, my son.
Did you find a job?
I go cleaning to a house
twice a week.
I've left forty-five liras
for you.
They'll allow the visits twice a month.
I've seen. They've put it on the door.
My court is on the 20th
of this month.
They say in other prisons
they have TV.
Is there any news from my father?
What kind of a news? He won't be
back. He's left us. Forget him.
Up till now it's forbidden to
bring something.
Did you use lipstick?
No.
There is colour on it.
You think so. There isn't
anything.
I swear the chief guardian threw
all the petitions away.
But he said 'get ready to us'.
- He made fun of you.
- What a chance.
Shit.
Give that to me. This is for
the one who go to the court.
isn't it cooked, you asshole.
Wait a second, you asshole.
I've got the date friends, I am released.
He told me that I'm free and I've shouted
'Long live justice. ' to him.
I've got it fellas.
I am free now.
Gogol, there is a favour that you can do.
Do that for me.
What?
You remember Karabas the dog at the orphanage?
Ah, the crippled whore?
Can you find her?
What will you do with that dog?
I miss her so much. She will remember me.
She always used to come to
my arms and be very happy.
Of course she was...
Will you do that?
Where?
To you as a visitor, huh?
You forgot that only the same family name
visitors may come.
In the evening, when I go emptying the garbage,
if you bring her to the court of the school...
...maybe I see her.
What's the problem of Ziya?
I knew that he is crazy but now I know that
he is completely out of his mind.
There was a dog at the orphanage.
We used to call her crippled bitch.
Everybody fucked her.
Come on, you bastard.
There is no humanity at the 4th dormitory now.
What's this Karabas story.
The dog of the orphanage
was a sympathetic animal.
I loved her very much.
Some of the guys there used to fuck her
but I never did... Never...
They are calling you, run.
guardian Cafer waits for you.
- Are you kidding?
- I'm not.
Why do they call me,
I don't understand.
I didn't do anything.
Run, come on.
I said faster.
Run, you bastard.
Why are they calling me?
I didn't do anything.
I'm sure you did something.
I swear I didn't chief.
How old are you?
14, chief.
Good, 14...
Come with me, your bomb has just exploded.
Now listen carefully to me, Saban.
And answer my questions.
If you try to lie to me I'll
crush you. Do you understand?
Since when are you at this prison?
- A hundred...
- What hundred? Hundred days?
153 days.
What were you doing to live
when you were out?
Who was responsible for you?
Did you swallow your tongue?
Answer me.
Who was responsible for you?
Answer me.
I've heard that you wrote some letters and
demanded money from them.
Then?
Did you write letter to anyone and want money?
Answer, did you write?
No.
You are lying, bastard. What about these letters?
Is this yours, Saban?
Answer me.
Do you know somebody called Salih Avsar?
Yes.
Did you make him write these letters?
Salih Avsar, to the Salvation Grocery..
Answer.
"My dearest dad...
...First I say hello to you
...and I kiss both of your hands.
Daddy, I don't get any news from you "
Did you make it written?
No.
Don't lie.
Did you?
Yes, I did.
This grocer Salih Afsar is your father.
Yes, he's my father.
Is he your real father or your stepfather?
My real father.
Good.
Do you know this man?
Is he your father?
You liar bastard.
If you write any other letter to anyone
who doesn't know you, I'll break your hands.
Do you understand?
Yes.
My wife has read the recent letter.
She asked from whom I made these bastards.
I'm sorry, son.
I am also a father, I have children.
Don't write or call me father.
Call me uncle for example...
I gave 200 liras for you to the chief.
If you need something you may write.
I am sorry.
Here, 100 liras for you
And the other 100 liras will
be left in the directory.
For your future needs.
And that bag is yours. Go and take it.
Kiss your uncle?s hand.
He thinks he's going to fool around.
What's happening here?
Saban's father has come.
He has no fathers or mothers.
I knew him from the orphanage.
We both grown up there.
And we have no families.
Hey, buddies. We have found the stove.
Now we can cook lentils, hey.
Long live lentils.
And long live the stove.
Attention, attention.
All the prisoners of the 2nd dormitory
will be prepared for the bath.
After that,
it is bathing time for dormitory 3.
Courage, sister, courage.
Thank you.
What's yours?
Murder.
And you, why are you here?
I asked you your guilt, you bitch.
Mother Dudu, What's her guilt?
Is it prostitution?
Yes, you are right. She was a street bitch.
Its easily be understood.
Louse. All her hair is full of louse.
If this woman enters here like this,
all of us will be lousy then.
What's the buzz?
The woman was lousy.
They took her to the bath.
God help you. What's your guilt?
I've killed my husband.
How?
With a chop.
Are you hungry?
The women is both bitch and lousy.
Really...
Money for the protection.
Come on friends. Money for the protection.
What the hell, in front of the unburnt
stove, are you trying to make me mad?
The pipes are still to come. Don't you know?
Throw these out.
I said throw these out, quick..

Prepare the money, come on Money.. Money.
Oh, good, bless you, good boys.
We have a plan with Aziz but
it has to be a secret. Ok.?
We have thought deeply on it and we have
decided to reveal it to you, and to you Ziya.
- We will escape.
- Go back to your bed bastard..
How?
This evening, when we are out to the garbage.
We shall pass the wall of the school.
What about gendarmes?
who cares gendarmes.
They shoot us.
It doesn't matter. Even for one day freedom
its good.
- Ziya...
- lay down.
This is not easy.
Where will you hide?
Aziz knows a gangster.
And he has got 1.000 liras
And when we get out, we'll make a
robbery and be rich.
I have a hat and I'll buy a black shirt.
And if you come too we'll be 4 people.
Its easier then to be a gang.
'The gang of the 4 masks'
what about this name?
Shall we be gangsters then?
When we become gangsters, you'll live
the life.
We all will have women at the whorehouse.
We'll have pistols at hand
and money at our pockets.
Everyday we'll eat at restaurant.
We'll eat delicious food.
They won't take us to the whorehouse.
We are young.
Are you crazy? Who cares how old you are
if you have money.
What about Cafer?
We'll shoot him outside. Bang.
He's dead...
And Cafer is on the ground.
- Aziz has got a pistol.
- Outside, huh?
- Yes.
Please take me with you.
Lay down to your bed.
I won't tell anybody. Please...
Lay down to your bed.
I'll give you my 200 liras. And I'll give you
my bag. There is everything in it.

Don't be shy, tell me.
Nothing.. I have just a headache, That's all.
Go out, Bastard.
What a liar.
Out of here.
Dear Doctor, how are you?
Are you angry? with me?
I see, you know how these prisoners are...
They ask for pills and also for drugs.
Don't be angry. This is a prison.
Ok. I will say the necessary words
to all guardians. Send them all to me.
Of course, send them to me.
Attention, attention.
All the guardians and cell personnel,
are requested urgently to the direction
The other day I have talked to all of you,
haven't I?
I have told that I was going to
punish whoever would lie.
We are ill Sir. Really sick.
Shut-up you idiot.
Do you know better than the
doctor if you are sick or not?
And you? what is your problem?
Talk.
tell everything to Mr. Director.
I feel like throwing up, I feel
dizzy and I see nightmares.
I know your illness..
You want to run away from work..
It is not that easy.
Sir. We...
Silence.
You want pills from the Doctor huh?
Mow them all. All of them.
We will see then.
Everybody Out. Out.
From now on, you will check the prisoners who want
to see the doctor and be sure that they are not liars..
You will have to decide if they have
some real health problems
Not everyone who claims to be ill is really ill.
Sir, we know nothing about illness.
This is a Doctor?s job.
What do you mean "you know
nothing", you will check them.
Open their mouths, make them
say "AAA", make them cough
Haven't you ever been to the doctor?
Yes. But I was the patient.
Enough with this nonsense.
You will do as I say.
You chiefs, You can tell who is
sick and who is not, can't you?
You will help the guardians.
The guardians will choose the patients
From now on, we will be the doctors.
That's what the Director said.
He said that we will check first the
boys and prisoners who are ill.
Open your moot, cough, breath...
Then sing the song: "I left sadly,
I came back with joy. "
We left sad and we came back joyfully.
My foot Joyfully.
Look at the conditions of these babies.
They have thought us during
the military service..
"Ten years of war and ten years
of victories. Now it is the babies
who are singing the same song.
It has been 30 years since
Still we do not have a pant of our own.
Ten years of war,
ten years of victories. My ass.
You stop doing this job my friend,
you find yourself another job..
If I could, I wouldn't stay here
not for one minute.
- I am sorry.
- Go away.
- I was very afraid.
- Go away.
Don't talk to me again.
I said go away.
- I was very afraid.
Don't talk to me again.
I am sorry, brother. I was frightened.
If you like I will tell tomorrow.
Go away from me. If you don't move your bed
at night I'll throw it away.
Where can I go?
Don't make me go please.
Fuck off, do you hear me?
Brother Ziya...
Don't talk to me.
Brother Zima let me...
I said don't talk to me, you bastard.
Count.
- 1.
- 2.
- 71.
- 72.
74. the end.
God save you.
I said to this idiot Saban not to be afraid,
and not to say anything.
But he spoiled everything.
What's this noise in the women's
dormitory?
Hatice and Samil are marrying tomorrow.
Close his mouth, quick.
Brother, I want to talk to you.
What do you mean?
I was mistaken. I apologize.
I have 100 liras. I give it to you.
Please don't leave me alone.
I'm afraid...
Don't talk to me, you asshole.
Saban, stop... Don't go...
They'll shoot you.
His statement is taken...
...and he said there is nothing left to say.
You idiot. You couldn?t manage 4 children.
For ten years you couldn?t learn
how to be a guardian.
He just ran away sir, suddenly ran away.
How can I know that?
His statement is over. Sign it.
Prepare your defence. Take out your uniform.
We don't want you anymore.
Am I fired?
No, I'm just taking you away.
Get out. Tell your problem at the court.
This idiot Saban has wasted the plan.
Saban is dead.
I learned that.
And Ziya?
Ziya's gone.
Aziz is with you. He says he
ruined everything.
He's angry to Ziya too.
And you?
Me too.
You said we would run away together.
When Saban began to run to
the court, I was panicked.
We didn't have a penny.
Neither Ziya nor me.
I'll shoot Cafer.
Do not hurry.
They gave 15 days of sentence.
Wait for me. I have a new idea.
A new way. A mutiny...
If we rebel they take us to another place.
And we'll shoot Cafer
together in the mutiny.
And other boys will also be with us.
Some of them will not be interested.
We'll shoot them all.
Attention! Today you are going to give...
blood for the Red Cross
although there is no necessity...
to give blood is sacred
for every Turc
Is it good now, you idiot?
Was it easy to run away?
They've brought Ziya.
Where did you go? Tell us.
Hey, wake up...
Take him out.
Hey boys, come and help us.
Come on...
They've beaten me so much.
And Saban?
Saban is dead.
They've also caught the Tall. He is at the
cell now.
Did you see Karabas?
No. They've poisoned her.
The municipality police did.
There is no where left in life for us.
No place.
If I've had parents I would stand
this sentence even for 100 years.
100 years.
Karabas is dead. And there is nobody
left who loves me.
We have decided to rebel with the friends.
Maybe they take us to a better prison.
Even if we are not successful,
the children after us...
...will be safe. They'll change dormitory 4.
I don't think so.
Dormitory 4 will never change.
There's no life outside.
Nobody cares for anybody.
Everybody runs for something.
Where do they run?
My mother called me 'my bird,
my peasant'...
She used to caress me with love...
She was so kind to me...
And now Karabas is also died.
And no body's left to hold my hand...
guardian.
What?
The boy is sick.
It's very serious.
What does he have?
I don' know.
He can't speak.
The runaway kid is very sick.
But he is dead.
Look at him. He is cold.
- Where do you take a dead man?
- To the hospital.
Gendarme.
Ask the boy if he has money.
If so take a taxi to the hospital.
What taxi? He is dead.
What? Is he dead?
Gendarme. Who is the one
taken out from the infirmary?
Is he the one who came today?
I don't know. You'll learn it tomorrow.
alert. alert. There is mutiny in the
anarchists? dormitory.
There is mutiny at dormitory 6.
We have informed gendarme, sir.
All right, sir.
There may be run away.
The director follows all closely, sir.
Here are our demands:
You'll give an end to torture.
Two, stop with the segregation...
Come here. The baby is coming out.
Bring here hot water and clean towels.
Take me my washing glows quick.
A woman is having a baby, guardians.
Courage.

Tonight is the night of destiny for us.
When we get Cafer it will be OK.
According to our plan Garip will
cause a fight with the man at the bath.
He'll shoot him. We shall be calling
help from the window.
Of course Cafer will come firstly.
When he enters, I...

Beds to the gates.
Put them against the windows.
This is our last chance to change.
The boys at the 4th dormitory have rebelled, sir.
They want to kill Cafer.
To transfer to another prison, sir.
The director is an asshole.
Listen to me children.
What do you want?
We want to go to another prison.
We don't want you, guardians beat us.
We want stoves.
Its enough.
We want to go.
Break all the gates. This mutiny will diffuse
to all the prison if we are late.
Attention.
Who gave you this idea huh?
Who gave you.
I'll show you what mutiny is...
Beat them. come on.
Attention.
The ones I read will go into a row.
The others will go to another prison
There can be nowhere worse than here.
Let's go wherever they take us.
