Hey, what are you boys doing?
Little devils! Back again.
Are you done?
Are you still not done? You've
soaked the whole damn car!
C'mon, you'll flood
the neighbourhood. Enough!
Little devils.
Let's not forget the flower.
I have great news for you.
The deal is ours.
It was so easy.
A walk in the park!
Yes. As always, we had a lot of
help from Ma'am.
The competition? No, no.
We shat on them.
Call New York right away
and let them know.
OK, goodbye.
Here you go, driver.
Keep the change.
Thanks. Have a good trip.
Thank you.
- Where are we going?
- Kavaklidere, please.
Sure.
Hello?
Yes, I just landed.
More weekend hours.
8000 lira.
No, this time is different.
A young businessman.
I'm back on the first
flight on Monday.
Sure, it's exhausting.
Plus I have an exam on Tuesday.
But then again...
You can't live without money.
You can handle
things there, right?
OK, you're wonderful.
Thanks a lot.
Hugs and kisses. Goodbye.
Thanks.
You wouldn't believe
the passengers I had today.
Why, what happened?
Where to start? How about
blackmail and rigged bids?
Or the college call girl?
It's all there.
The country's gone off the rails.
If I went public,
it'd be seismic.
You mean they talk about this
stuff in front of you?
Yes.
Some talk to me and some
act like I'm not even there.
They get out their cell phones
and talk for hours.
Suppose we put a spy camera in
the car and record everything?
Why?
We could make news.
We could expose them all.
I did a story once.
On a rigged bidding process.
Next day, they fired me
from the newspaper.
Bastards!
I've always wanted to
get my own back.
Wait.
I've a friend who knows about
these things. I'll ask him.
Don't be daft. I'd get in trouble.
Anyway, isn't it illegal?
- Yes, it is.
- See?
It's definitely illegal.
But so is everything in this country.
Our old reporter chum wants to support
freedom of information, right?
- Exactly.
- There you go.
- So we're doing a good thing?
- Definitely.
You also need a camera in the car
for your own security.
The place is full of no-goods,
don't you see?
How can your hours be over?
Are you public sector workers?
Our arrangement with the company
is to work until 5.00.
So it's my fault for
paying you in advance, is it?
Of all the nerve!
What about all this furniture?
Give us 100 lira for
the rest and we'll move it.
- I don't understand.
- I'll move the rest for 100 lira.
- My hours finished at 5.00.
- I'll kill you!
- But..
- I'll kill you! Crooks!
- Get out of here! Beat it!
- OK, OK!
Beat it! Get out!
God damn you! Rot in hell!
God damn!
Get the hell out of here!
God damn you... Crooks!
God damn you.
What's up?
We're supposed to be moving and they
dump half the stuff here. Animals!
The so-and-sos!
Don't worry. We'll give you a hand.
Won't we, Adnan?
- What?
- We'll help, won't we?
But there's so much stuff.
And it's heavy.
No, no.
I live in the building anyway.
So we're neighbours.
Hello. Mehmet.
I'm Melek. Nice to meet you.
- I'm sorry.
- No problem.
Adnan, c'mon. Let's do it.
Adnan, what are you doing?
- Come here.
- Really?
- You want to start with that?
- Yes, c'mon. OK
- But it's so much trouble.
- Don't worry. Adnan's used to it.
- C'mon, let's go.
- Be careful, though.
The thing's empty, right?
Slowly.
Careful now.
Stop. Stop for a second.
I'm done in. Stop.
Dammit, Adnan! Why the big deal over
a few boxes and a washing machine?
Sure, when the washing
machine's the lightest thing!
Move, go on!
It's been so much trouble.
Not at all.
It was just a couple of things.
We were done in 15 minutes.
Right, Adnan? It was no trouble.
Right.
We love moving furniture anyway.
We do it all the time.
- Can I give you a napkin?
- No, no. I'm great without one.
- Let me take the glass.
- Here you go.
Thanks a lot.
We've no idea how to thank you.
Do we, Mum?
No, sweetheart. No idea.
No need.
We should be going anyway.
Shouldn't we, Mehmet?
Let's be going.
Yes.
We couldn't offer you
anything either.
- No need.
- Everything's all over the place.
Sure. You have a lot to do.
Have a nice day.
Have a nice evening.
- Let me see you to the door.
- We'll be back if you need us.
- Thanks, both of you.
- Goodbye.
Why not soap yourself.
Yes.
There we go.
Let's see them talking now!
OK, let's try it out.
No need. See the button here?
Press it once to turn
the camera on
and again to turn it off.
It's that simple.
- What if I forget?
- Why would you?
Just press the button
before you turn on the meter.
I don't feel good about it.
Can I back out?
C'mon, Mehmet!
What did we talk about that day?
But we'd be sticking a camera
into people's private lives.
Exactly! Of course we would.
That's where the news is today!
Hello.
Who are you?
I'm Mehmet. Your neighbour.
Remember we helped move
your stuff the other day?
OK. You're a good person.
Really?
How do you know?
Mum said.
Most people are bad
so we shouldn't trust them.
But she said you
were a good person.
Did she?
My grandma really
liked you, too.
She said if only you were more
handsome. What does that mean?
Well, that I'm handsome,
but not really like a famous actor.
I expect she meant
something like that.
Hey, doctor.
Whenever I come here,
you're at a table reading.
Does the stuff never end?
Or do you not get
what's on the page?
Adnan, that's out of line.
My nephew is at least
as smart as his uncle.
I've been coming here for years... and
have yet to see a glimmer of sense in you.
But your nephew is
smarter than you for sure.
After all, he got to graduate
from the school of medicine.
But seriously,
what are you reading?
I'm reading up on pathology.
- What-ology?
- Pathology! Pathology!
Go on, explain for him.
It's the study of diseases.
Of their origin and progression.
A good doctor needs
a good grasp of pathology.
So why are you reading notes?
Are there no books on it?
Sure there are.
But they're kind of pricey.
I'm making do with
notes for now.
No book is more important
than a pathology book.
Because one of the diseases in the
book is sure to come and get you.
Hey, you in the uniform!
Why aren't you out
catching thieves?
C'mon, Adnan! Don't
give me thieves.
You know I'm only
in it for the paycheck.
Besides, I haven't even held a
gun since I joined the police.
Adnan, I tell you what.
Say a thief walked in the door.
- Who'd be the first to run?
- He would!
Look at you people,
always picking on the young!
Take a look at yourselves.
You still don't have a proper job
at your age, for heaven's sake!
Tea.
Thanks.
Look, this is kind of interesting.
The guy's a businessman
from Istanbul.
He was in Ankara for a dirty weekend
and spent no less than 57,000 lira.
How can you spend
57,000 in a weekend?
35,000 went on
a bag for the girl.
Good grief! 35,000 on a bag?
Sure. You don't
have a clue, do you?
You can get bags for 16,000 euros.
I checked it out.
That makes over 60,000 lira.
It's pointless even discussing it.
The man spent the money.
Who cares?
Forget it.
It's tabloid news at most.
It's not even that.
'Istanbul businessman blows 57,000
lira on fling with woman in Ankara…'
You call that news?
Fine.
If you're saying it
isn't newsworthy,
then I'll get back to work.
Hello?
There's a man on the phone
who insists on talking to you.
He says it's about your wife
and very important.
About my wife?
Yes. That's what he said.
Put him through.
OK, I'll put him
through on line two.
Hello?
Hello. Greetings, Mr Nazmi.
I'm calling about
your wife's happiness.
Who the hell are you?
What's this about my
wife's happiness?
Mr Nazmi, I want to play you something.
Have a listen and then we'll talk.
Here you go.
What was that you said?
Hello?
I'm on my way back.
It was great. Fantastic.
I say that, but...
It cost me an arm and a leg.
The woman liked a bag
that cost 35,000 lira!
Sure I got it.
Nazmi Temizeller puts his
money where his mouth is.
Put it this way, the weekend
set me back 57,000.
Sure it was worth it.
Worth every cent.
The dame was sexy as hell.
C'mon, you only live once.
Hello?
Yes, Mr Nazmi.
What's this about?
What's up?
You don't sound too happy.
Asshole!
Are you trying to blackmail me?
Not at all! We're talking
an exchange, not blackmail.
We want something from you
and you from us. It's that simple.
Look, you've got the
wrong guy, OK?
I'm not the kind to
give in to blackmail.
- Asshole!
- If you just listen to
To what? Listen to what?
What is this?
Now look, Mr Nazmi.
For the sake of you, your wife,
and the entire country's happiness...
We want to sell you the tape
you just heard for 57,000 lira.
What do you say?
I wouldn't give you 57
kurush, dammit! OK?
You've got the wrong guy.
You have no idea. I'll do you in. OK?
Where are you?
Tell me where you are.
Calm down, Mr Nazmi!
What's to get uptight about?
It's only 57,000 lira.
A weekend's spending,
as we just heard.
Let's us get the money, you the
tape and everyone will be happy.
Don't you agree?
How the hell am I
supposed to trust you?
For goodness sake, Mr Nazmi!
I didn't say 570,000 lira.
We only want 57,000 from you.
It'll all go to charity
anyway, believe me.
I'll send a donation
receipt if you like
and you can take
it off your tax bill.
Mr. Mehmet! Hello.
Having a good day?
Yes, thank you. Thanks.
You went to so much trouble for us,
I wanted to thank you.
Not at all.
We're neighbours, aren't we?
Thank you. I was going to say...
I'm making stuffed
eggplant tonight.
- Will you come over?
- Sure.
Why not? Tonight?
Yes. Why not bring
along your friend?
OK.
What time should we come?
At dinner time. Let's say 7.30.
Is that OK?
Sure. We'll be there.
In that case... See you tonight.
OK.
Have a nice day.
God damn it!
Why do I have to cut myself
today of all days?
I look like a sacrificial sheep.
Hello, good evening.
Hello, good evening.
Yes.
Hello, good evening.
- Welcome! Come in.
- Hello.
Come on in.
I've only one pair
of men's slippers.
How are we going to work that?
We umm... Adnan!
We got you some flowers.
Thank you very much.
That's so kind. Thanks.
Please, go on through.
Let me get your shoes, Adnan.
Thanks.
Are any of those
slippers any good?
These are fine.
I'm sorry.
Keep going to the left.
It was all amazing.
I haven't had such
nice food in ages.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I didn't do a thing, though.
My daughter here
made everything.
She's so capable.
She makes baklava,
bakes pastries,
I've even seen her
preparing kebabs.
Her cooking is made in heaven!
I hope you liked it.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Why? Where are you going?
My TV series is on. Soaps are
everything for people my age.
And tonight's episode is so exciting.
There's a boy
who clearly loves the girl.
He has a baby face,
he's a good person,
unselfish, caring, friendly.
Like you, he's fair
with blue eyes.
He has your hair, too!
Anyway, he likes the girl.
As for the girl...
she's a sourpuss
and pretends to know nothing.
But I'm sure there'll be some
action tonight… In the series.
Go on, Mum. It's starting.
OK. You make some tea, OK?
- Will you have some tea?
- Sure. We drink 30 glasses a day.
- OK, I'll put the tea on then.
- Thanks.
- Don't worry about that.
- No problem.
- Here you go.
- Thanks very much.
What's with the 30
glasses of tea?
Listen. All that spiel
about the soap.
- It's looking good, huh?
- What?
Don't you get it? Oh, c'mon!
Don't be ridiculous, Adnan.
Listen. I'll go if you want.
- Go where?
- Sure. I'll just say
I have to watch the football.
No. Don't leave me
here on my own.
Forgive me if I ask something.
Was Meryem...
born with sight problems?
We tried for a baby
for a long time.
We went from doctor to doctor.
There isn't a consultant
we didn't see.
So then...
when Meryem was born,
we were overjoyed.
She was such a beautiful baby.
Mum says she was struck by the evil
eye because she was so beautiful.
We didn't realize at first.
It was Mum who did.
Meryem wasn't looking at us.
She must've been four months.
She isn't actually blind.
She can see light.
She can do simple
things by herself.
So she can eat.
But...
no way can she read,
for example.
You know she wears
those dark glasses?
She has to wear them.
Because her eyes are
super-sensitive to the light.
Also...
if I don't speak,
she doesn't recognize me.
When we found out
about all this,
her father walked out.
Then again...
we didn't exactly
marry for love.
It was our families
who arranged it.
He was my first cousin.
When he left, the whole family
turned their backs on us.
They dropped us just like that.
Whatever we'd done
to upset them...
whatever we'd done wrong.
So Mum,
me and Meryem...
we found ourselves
all on our own.
Luckily, we have
Mum's widow's pension..
And I make a little money
from sewing and dressmaking.
So...
we try to survive on that.
How about some more tea?
Anyone can say what they like...
but the sound and smell of money
are something else, guys.
We shafted the man.
Forget it.
He's rich anyway.
He probably makes and loses 10,
if not 100 times 57,000 every day.
- Had your fill of money, have you?
- No.
What are we going
to do with the money?
I don't know.
I've never seen so
much money all at once.
Let's go for a
decent kebab first.
I know a great place.
The food is said to be awesome.
“Said to be”? You
haven't been to the place?
No. Didn't have the means.
- People sure know the good life.
- Good evening. Welcome.
- Are there three of you?
- What's the name? Haci.
Now Haci. Let me say
we're no strangers to kebabs.
My friends and I want to dine
well and have a few drinks.
So let's make a deal up front.
How do you mean, sir?
What kind of tips do you get?
I'm not with you.
My point is, what's the biggest
tip you've ever had here?
Some people sometimes
leave 50 lira.
Fifty?
Look, here's 200 lira.
Go on, take it
and let's be done with this.
Just for once, my friends and I are
having a night out on the town.
Now, show me the nicest table.
Make it somewhere quiet
where we can talk in private.
Look at you, pal!
OK, it's not done to count, but...
that's your third helping!
- Don't get indigestion.
- Third?
I thought it was my fifth!
Here's an honest
50 lira for you!
Thanks a lot, sir.
See you again. Good night.
There we go.
Mehmet, why are you stopping?
Is there a problem?
Adnan.
Did you just tip
the waiter 200 lira
and the car park
attendant another 50?
Yes. What's the problem?
I tell you, all this money
will lead us astray.
C'mon, Mehmet.
We kicked up our
heels for one night.
Are three kebabs and a couple
of rakis going to corrupt us?
Are we that spineless?
OK, but...
what are we doing when so many
people we know need money?
Just throwing it around.
Halil.
Guys, Halil is in
a really bad spot.
- OK, so there's Halil.
- He hasn't paid rent for three months.
And his landlord is
threatening to throw him out.
But, guys...
I can't go offering Halil money.
He's so proud.
He'd not only refuse it,
he'd tell me where to go, too.
Wait. We'll find a way.
Who's going?
I'll do it.
The guy's an idiot!
A total idiot!
If he can't see the money
right under his nose...
of course he can't
make ends meet!
Oof, Halil!
- Wait, I'll take care of it.
- What an idiot!
What are you doing?
Hah! A balloon.
An old trick.
What old trick?
Just watch.
The door! The door!
That's all there is to it.
I will do two extra
services for you if you try it.
Mehmet, c'mon. Let's go.
Mehmet?
Let's get a headstone
made for Hasan now.
Now look, Mehmet.
Hasan has two well-off siblings.
Is it really our job?
He's right.
Hasan's been dead two years
and they've yet to do anything.
Wasn't he our closest friend?
So it's our job
to get that headstone made.
That's true. You're right.
OK, guys, leave it
with me. I'm sorry.
- OK.
- I agree, you're right.
- Now let's go.
- Look, this money isn't really ours.
So let's set up a fund.
And we'll give handouts
to whoever needs it.
If we put it in the bank,
we'd get interest.
We'd what?
Who got it?
Are you guys colour blind?
What's this stage costume, huh?
Give it here, idiot.
What do you know?
- Is it yours?
- Yes.
- Get some purple trousers to go with it.
- Sure.
Do we really need
so many clothes?
Go ahead. Be a killjoy!
But what are we doing?
We're sure to be led astray.
What are you talking about?
Why'd buying two
shirts lead us astray?
Who do you think we are?
And if it makes you feel better...
we can always spend the money
on more necessary things.
Why? Because we now
have the means.
OK, gentlemen, enjoy!
A treat from our
sponsor, Mehmet.
This is the pathology
book you wanted, isn't it?
Thanks a lot, Uncle.
Thanks a lot.
You didn't have to.
We're investing in the future.
So you don't kill us
when we get sick or old.
Take Mehmet here.
He's already showing symptoms.
He's in a cold sweat,
he's deathly pale.
So go on, see what
his prognosis is.
Tea is on the house.
C'mon, gentlemen.
Dig in, please.
Mehmet, son.
What's the story here?
I had an uncle in Sinop.
He just passed away.
- God rest his soul.
- Thanks. He didn't have kids...
so he left what he had to me.
Talk about luck.
I have five uncles...
and they're all stone-broke.
In the old days,
money used to smell.
You know?
What did it smell like?
It stank!
There weren't many banknotes then.
They got dirty changing hands.
And people carried their money
in their trouser pockets.
It made my stomach turn.
I didn't want to
touch the stuff.
No one gave much importance
to money in those days.
There wasn't much to buy anyway.
Now everything is for sale.
Even people.
- Seda.
- Yes, Professor?
Remember that pretty girl
we examined yesterday?
Have you written up
her telescopic glasses report?
The report's ready, but I'm not sure
they can pay the patient contribution.
I guess they don't have
a lot of money.
Then we'll pay for it through
the association.
OK.
But we must get her fixed up
before the schools start.
Or it'll vindicate those
who want her at a blind school.
Sure, Professor.
I'm so sorry, could
I ask a question?
Of course. Go ahead.
There's a girl in
my neighbourhood.
She was also told she
should go to a blind school.
Could she go to normal school with
those glasses? What do you say?
It's possible, but we'd
need to examine her.
- OK.
- How old is she?
Six.
That's the ideal age.
Let me give you my card.
Tell her father to call
for an appointment.
Hello.
Halil... Welcome.
Thanks.
You want some tea?
No, thanks. I must get home.
I thought I'd call in on my way.
- No time even for a tea?
- No, thanks.
OK.
The other night
I saw you outside our house.
I really don't know
how to thank you.
I was in such a tight spot.
Everyone I owe was
circling like vultures.
I even considered
suicide at one point.
I was desperate.
I'd like to return
the favour someday.
If you're ever in trouble...
don't hesitate to come knocking.
Catch me!
Catch me!
- Who have I got here?
- The blind girl.
Never say
'the blind girl' again.
Catch me, catch me.
Careful.
Guys, Auntie Melek is here!
Where?
Off you go and eat those pastries.
Not so fast! Careful now.
Or they'll stick in your throat.
How's it going?
I thought the kids
might be hungry.
I wanted to ask, is there any chance of
leaving 30 minutes earlier tomorrow?
I mean if it's OK with you.
Sure. Anyway, I'm not
working tomorrow.
Do you think it'll help?
Sure. You should've
heard the doctor in the taxi.
They were all set to send this
girl to a blind school...
but with telescopic glasses she
was able to go to normal school.
- Really?
- Yes.
Let's hope.
Can you bring the bill? OK?
It's on the house today.
- Mehmet.
- No, c'mon. Bring me the bill.
Bring Mehmet a tea instead.
Mehmet, I wanted a word
with you about something.
Go ahead.
I hear you've come
into an inheritance.
Is that right?
Yes.
I had an uncle in Sinop.
When he passed away...
I inherited a small amount.
God rest his soul.
- My condolences.
- Thanks.
Mehmet, business is
dire at the moment.
Could you give me a small loan?
Sure.
How much?
3000 lira.
Is that OK?
Yes.
But I don't have it
on me right now.
I'll drop it off tonight, OK?
Of course, Mehmet.
Thanks.
Bless you.
I'll pay you back very soon.
- Just get things worked out first.
- Thanks.
If you'll excuse me then.
No. This is separate.

Now, Meryem, I want to
try out some glasses on you.
So, if you look at
the wall again.
I can see!
What?
Can she really see?
Yes, if she says she can.
Honey, can you see?
I can see.
- Can she really see?
- Of course she can.
Can she really see?
Let's take these glasses off.
Nurse, can you take
Meryem to the playroom?
Then you and I can have a chat.
Please, be calm.
- Up you get now.
- Can she really see?
- Will I be getting those glasses?
- Yes.
- Can she really see now?
- Yes, she can.
- Doctor, can she really see?
- Yes.
I can't believe it.
Now, these telescopic glasses
are especially important...
in that they allow her to go to a
normal school with her age group.
She'll be able to see the
blackboard and read for herself.
Then later on, she'll be able to
lead an independent life...
and have a career.
For all this to
happen, we'll need to
work closely with
you and her teacher.
I don't believe it.
Thank you so much, doctor.
In you get, sweetie.
Careful now.
Hello.
- You're wearing make-up.
- Grandma made her.
She said, “Mr Mehmet won't fancy you
if you look pasty-faced like that.”
What kind of nonsense is that?
She's making it all up.
She imagines things sometimes.
It suits you, though.
Thank you.
What's up?
What else?
Meryem is playing up again.
She's giving the
nurses a hard time.
She won't do anything they say.
She's mad at you.
That's probably why.
She's mad at me.
Who else would she be mad at?
Miss Meryem would
only be mad at me.
Who brought her into the world?
I did.
And now I have to pay the price.
Right? I brought her into the
world so I must pay the price.
I'm the guilty one.
I'm to blame for everything.
It wasn't me who was
forced to marry my cousin.
It wasn't me who was
forced to intermarry.
It wasn't me, aged 16, who said
I wanted to study, not marry...
who was flogged on the back,
caned on the soles of my feet...
locked up in dark rooms and beaten.
No, that wasn't me.
I'm so tired.
No one knows what
I've been through.
No one even cares.
Everyone just thinks of
themselves, you know?
Sometimes I think
I'd rather be dead.
But I don't even have...
the right to die.
Even death is a
freedom, you know?
Who would I leave
my old mother with?
Who'd look after my little girl?
I just want a little appreciation.
Everything's getting
on top of me.
Everything and everyone.
I'm so tired.
Just now...
Just now the doctor told me off.
She said Meryem had trouble seeing,
not hearing and told me not to shout.
I was so embarrassed.
Forgive me.
I'm kind of a nervous wreck.
I'm so sorry.
What are you reading?
Sait Faik. His short stories.
Do you really like reading?
Yes, I love it.
I didn't get to finish
high school...
but...
I've never stopped reading.
Why didn't you finish
high school?
Was it money problems
or something?
No, money was never
really a problem.
It was snow that stopped me
finishing high school.
What has snow got to do with it?
Snow was to blame.
I was in first grade
of high school...
and it started snowing one day.
It doesn't usually snow
much back home.
With the excitement of it snowing,
everyone was at the windows... and
everyone was shouting, “It's snowing!”
Our teacher was a
sullen so-and-so.
He said, “So what if it's snowing?”
And I said...
But it's sticking, sir!
Everyone started laughing.
The teacher
yelled at everyone to
return to their places.
Then he turned to me...
and gave me this horrific look.
It was so bad.
From then on,
the teacher had it in for me.
I never got a pass
grade after that.
Is that really
why you left high school?
Yes.
Because of the snow.
Since then... whenever it snows,
I'm reminded of that
teacher's terrible face.
That's why I hate snow.
If it hadn't snowed that day...
and I..
Hadn't said,
“But it's sticking, sir...”
Maybe everything
would've been different.
If something's
destined to happen,
it'll happen. There's no escape.
Sometimes.
Things are going great.
The country's booming
and bountiful.
You think we should
buy some dollars?
Where do you get that idea?
It's just people are saying
the dollar will go up.
So how about we open a currency
exchange place as well?
Hey, OK.
I was just throwing it out there.
Guys.
Can I keep this envelope?
Why? What's up?
Remember Meryem?
Melek's daughter.
I want to pay the patient contribution
for her telescopic glasses.
But Melek doesn't know.
You see what I mean?
- So is that a yes?
- OK.
Thank you.
Life's a bitch.
I could've done with this
money ten years ago.
Why? What was going
on ten years ago?
Nothing.
C'mon, there was something.
No, I just said
it without thinking.
What happened? C'mon!
Talk to us. You'll feel better.
There was this girl.
Ten years ago.
I'd have married her if I'd had money.
But I didn't.
She went and married
some rich idiot.
But she wasn't happy going.
There were a lot of tears.
There was nothing I could do.
Why? Because I had no money.
There you go.
Hey, Mehmet.
I keep meaning to ask.
Why do the neighbourhood kids
always pee on your tyres?
That's kids for you.
Someone said to them...
“If you pee on the tyres
it'll bring fortune and prosperity.”
And they believed it.
So every morning...
they stick a flower
in the windscreen wipers...
and then pee on the tyres.
It's not like I mind.
Right. It works if you ask me.
- How do you mean?
- Look how things have taken off.
Tell them to keep peeing.
In fact, why don't I join them?
No, you stay away.
Nice job, Metin. It's beautiful.
Good, isn't it?
Matt. The most expensive marble.
The shape is great, too.
It's different.
Do you think Hasan can hear us?
Yes.
He can definitely hear us.
Can you hear him?
Where the hell were you?
Why weren't you picking up?
You crashed the car.
Great!
And you hit a military van.
God damn you!
I'll take it off your wages.
Stay out of my sight!
Yes, Ma'am?
But, Ma'am...
It's not my fault, Ma'am.
The guys had an accident.
They crashed the car.
Driver, can you pull over?
Can you stop for a minute?
- Are you getting out?
- I'll check right away, Ma'am.
Can you give me a
minute in the car?
Can you get out?
I'll check right away, Ma'am.
Just a second.
- You want me to get out?
- Yes. Please.
I'll check right away.
OK.
Mum, you love me more now
I that can see, don't you?
Sweetheart.
You don't say that!
I love you so very much.
I don't believe it.
This dossier would
topple the government.
So is the stuff in here true?
What if it's just a conspiracy?
I don't know, but if it's true...
True or false,
we have the dossier now, right?
So let's take advantage of it.
We don't want to
get in deep water.
Like how?
Suppose the man realizes
he left the dossier in the taxi?
Wait.
Who is this guy?
Show me in that footage here.
- I guess that's not him.
- No, it isn't.
- That's not him. Keep going.
- I'm fast-forwarding.
Wait, stop. That's him.
Him?
I've seen that guy on TV.
That's good.
He'll be easy to find.
But who was he?
Look at the scandals this country's
seen and nothing ever changes.
Let's think.
Think about what? I'm telling
you, it's asking for trouble.
If the dossier is so precious,
they'll pay money for it.
And be more than happy to pay for it.
Just calm down.
I say we do this:
Let's wait a while.
Let's see if anyone asks you
about it, then we'll act.
I say we burn the dossier,
end of discussion.
OK, fine. I see.
The dossier is shelved
for now. OK?
Is everyone calm?
Tea?
Hello there.
Welcome. How can I help?
I wanted to look
at wedding rings.
What kind of thing do you want?
Something simple.
Of course.
How's this?
Can I see the partner to this?
Sure.
Here you are.
They look great together.
I hope it's a long and
happy marriage.
Well...
I'd love to get them, but...
I need a few months.
So let's leave it for now.
Look, my friend.
If you want them
so much, get them.
Some things in life
should never be put off.
When I was your age,
I decided to wait a little longer.
I've never got to
wear a wedding ring.
Enter!
What is it?
Ma'am.
You know the missing dossier?
Someone called to say
he'd give it back
for 57,000 lira...
otherwise he'd give
it to the press.
What did you say?
I told him to call back in one hour.
Then I hung up.
Good for you.
If you found a dossier like that, would
you give it back for 57,000 lira?
What he's asking
is on the low side.
Either he's a halfwit who has
no idea what's in his hands...
or he has other intentions.
Get the money together.
Arrange a meeting.
And when you've got the dossier...
destroy both the guy
and everyone in his family.
Yes, Ma'am.
Look what I have to deal with.
What imbecile wanted a dossier
like that to be put together?
You.
It was you, Ma'am.
Go.
Get out.
Seyranbaglari Mosque.
Is this bag yours?
Thank you.
- May God accept your prayers.
- Yours, too.
In the name of God,
the Gracious, the Merciful.
Here he is.
- How's it going?
- Mehmet.
We must be in the
Botanical Park at 3.00.
- Why?
- To pick up a payment.
A payment of
57,000 lira no less.
Why 57,000 lira?
57,000 is our lucky number.
OK. Tea?
Not for me.
I'm not coming. You guys go.
C'mon! Don't be afraid,
I'll be there.
We'll go together...
leave an envelope in the garbage,
take the envelope for us...
and go back to the taxi.
It's that simple.
- OK.
- There's nothing to worry about.
What's going on with you?
I'm off to the town hall.
It won't take half an hour.
Hobble in and you get seen right away.
What's the point in queuing for hours?
I'll be back in half an hour.
What's he playing at?
Isn't that plain dishonest?
Isn't he deceiving people?
Isn't that shameful?
You're right, Adnan.
It's all of those.
Adnan. What are we doing here?
- How much further is it?
- Like you've walked miles. Patience!
We walked into a trap. Go that way.
I'll pretend to be blind.
- Quick! I'll explain.
- Explain what, Adnan?
- Who are those guys?
- Move! I said I'll explain.
- No one's following us, are they?
- No, Adnan. Let's go. God damn you.
- Are we being followed?
- There's a man to the left.
What does he look like?
We weren't going to
touch that dossier!
Sorry! I gave in to temptation.
OK. This whole thing ends here!
No more camera, no more tapes!
Put your seat belt on.
No one turned up.
We were there for an hour.
Did you see anything
out of the ordinary?
A dog attacked two of our guys.
So they had to leave
their hiding place.
No one else showed up.
Is that right?
A young couple
had a fight in front of us.
The girl started
beating up the guy.
We had a hard time rescuing him!
Anyone else?
An old woman was
walking her dog.
And there was a blind man
with someone else.
Wait. Describe the guy
with the blind man.
What did they do?
They walked past us
and left the park.
Then they got in a
taxi and drove away.
Did they hail a passing taxi
or take their own?
They took their own.
Did the blind man drive
or the other guy?
I didn't notice.
I don't remember.
Idiot! They're who we're looking for.
Find them for me fast!
Enter!
Ma'am,
the man we're looking
for is a taxi driver.
He showed up today as agreed,
but must have
suspected something...
because he left the park
without taking the cash.
Get rid of all taxi drivers.
But, Ma'am, there are
7800 taxis in Ankara.
Then,
find the man and
do away with him.
Everyone get up! Stand in line!
Your photos will be taken.
- Who the hell are you to...
- Shut your mouth!
Everyone get up!
Let's say the state wants your
photo for its collection.
Chief, how do we
know you're police?
The hell we're police!
Chief, we accept anything
the daddy-state decides.
- If you like, we can do a group photo.
- Shut it!
Forget trawling
the cab ranks, chief.
The chamber of drivers
has photos of all cabbies.
Whoa!
I think they're police
and turns out they're state.
That midget has a mean punch.
Who's there?
Me, Mehmet.
Mehmet?
Hello.
Hello.
How are you?
Fine. You?
I'm fine, too.
I'm not disturbing you, am I?
No, you aren't.
Were you asleep?
I was starting to
get ready for bed.
Umm,
I just thought I'd see
if you needed anything.
That's why I'm here.
No, there's nothing I need.
I mean, everything's fine.
Thanks a lot.
OK then.
Can I ask you something?
Is it normal to hear the
water pump sometimes?
I guess so. Because when
anyone turns on a tap...
the water's pumped
up from downstairs.
Thanks.
Then that must be why I came.
You're funny. Thanks a lot.
Everything's fine.
I don't need anything. Thanks
OK, then. Good night.
Good night.
Why not close the
door and I'll go?
No, it's OK. I'll, you know...
No, go on.
OK, if you say so. Good night.
Why's my nephew
asleep at the table?
He was on call last night.
He didn't get any sleep.
Ass! Why not go home and sleep?
He wants to watch
tonight's game with us.
That's why he didn't go home.
I see. Football.
Let's go, friend.
- Climb in.
- Let's go, let's go.
- Let's go.
- OK, let's go.
Just a second.
Do you have a stick in the car?
- A stick for what?
- Where we're going.
I've some business
to take care of.
We're going to umm.
Don't you have a stick?
No. I have no use for sticks.
OK, look. We'll go to Ulus.
I've a score to settle there.
While I'm taking care of that,
you'll wait. Then...
- Oh, and you can help if you want.
- Help?
Why not?
Then there'd be more of us.
Look, every driver carries
a cricket bat in his car...
- or a baseb...
- Baseball bat.
- So why don't you have one?
- I just don't.
A club or a stick, you know.
OK, let's go.
- Where are we going?
- We're going to Ulus.
- Ulus.
- Here, look. The fare up front. OK?
If it's more,
I'll pay the difference.
Money isn't a problem.
Now let's go.
- OK.
- I've a small score to settle.
- So you're headed for a fight.
- The king of fights.
- And I'm supposed to wait for you?
- Yes, you wait while I settle things.
- Then you'll be back?
- Yes. Now let's go.
- OK, let's go.
- Let's go.
Let's go and
see what's going on.
We're looking for
Mehmet, the cab driver.
They said we'd find him here.
He's a bit late tonight,
but he won't be long.
Have a seat and some tea.
Look, guys.
How's this for a watermelon?
All 16 kilos of it.
Anything less is inedible anyway.
We may as well sit down
and have a tea.
Ah!
- Beat them all up, did you?
- No.
- No? So you forgave them?
- I didn't beat them up...
because no one was
at the tea house.
They didn't turn up today.
They got away.
- Or I'd have made mincemeat of them.
- Right. They got away.
Right. They sure were lucky.
Look, I've someone waiting up for me.
Let me take you home.
- Where's home?
- I don't have one.
- So you live on the street?
- Yes! On the frigging street.
Because the wife kicked me out
and changed the locks.
And I threw away the keys.
- Don't you have anyone else?
- Yes, I have my lover.
- OK, I'll drop you there.
- No. She's getting married tomorrow.
That's my whole problem.
Sounds like you have
your work cut out.
Was it the Lycians
who invented money?
Or the Phrycians?
Or the Phrygians?
Who was it?
It was the Lydians.
The Lydians.
Where did Phrycians come from?
Look, whenever I've had money
I've had problems.
Whenever I've had money
everyone tries to screw me
See that tea house? The thing with
money... Anyway, that's a long story.
I lend everyone a shed load
and now I can't get it back.
It doesn't matter, I don't want it.
But... Anyway, long story.
So, look.
Let's go down the hill
and I'll take you somewhere.
It'll blow your mind.
Let me take you for a coffee
first, then I'll drop you off.
- OK, but then we'll go, won't we?
- Sure, we'll go.
The mezes are wicked. C'mon.
OK, in you get.
Money doesn't matter.
I don't care about money.
You're right.
Now go on, in you get.
Money, money, money.
Was it Napoleon who said that?
Yes, Napoleon.
Money, money, money.
- Yes.
- Money, money, money.
People are murdered
and maimed for it.
You may have a fortune
of millions...
but a shroud won't take
a penny in its pockets.
Greetings!
Hey, doctor.
You're still here at this time?
Hey, OK. Get off.
- C'mon.
- Get off me.
C'mon.
Adnan!
Doctor?
Doctor?
The watermelon...
has been blown to pieces.
Why keep ringing the bell
like a debt collector?
Can't you drop dead?
Where have you been the last two days?
Working for the motherland. I've
barely slept two hours in two days.
Take off those glasses.
You look like a blind man.
Not more baklava!
- Dad!
- Girls!
Welcome home, Dad!
- Can you give me a bottle of water?
- Mehmet.
Here. Forget the money, but go.
Two guys in shades
are asking after you.
Everyone's scared.
If the boss sees you, he'll fire me.
Here, take the money
all the same.
Thanks.
Boys, do you know this man?
He's a taxi driver.
No, we've never seen him.
Too bad.
There's a 100 lira reward for
anyone who helps us find him.
Do we get the reward
if we find another cabbie?
Who are you?
Mehmet's coming. Don't let him in.
We don't want trouble.
Mehmet.
What's going on, my friend?
- Your boss doesn't want me, huh?
- Sorry.
Say hello from me.
Goodbye.
Uncle Mehmet. Two guys in
shades are looking for you
They have a photo of you.
Thanks for telling me.
It's better if we aren't seen
together for a while. OK?
Off you go now.
We'll be back
tonight, Uncle Mehmet.
OK.
Is there anything you want?
No.
But thanks a lot.
They killed the girl and
her grandma. The mother's injured.
What do they want
from these poor people?
It's so weird.
No one heard a thing.
Who was that?
- Mehmet.
- What kind of guy are you? Let him in!
This is our apartment
block's storeroom.
You can stay the night here.
Mutt sleeps here, too.
You can keep each other company.
Mutt is a stray, but he's
really well-behaved.
Uncle Mehmet.
Is evil contagious?
No, evil isn't contagious.
But don't worry.
Even if it was,
you wouldn't catch it.
Ow! God damn you!
Very interesting.
Where did you find the dossier?
A passenger left it in my taxi.
The contents will upset
a lot of people.
You're aware of
that, aren't you?
Yes.
Friends said the same thing.
Friends?
Friends at the tea house.
All of them were killed
two days ago.
I heard something about a blood feud.
That must've been it.
Yes.
Thanks.
OK.
Don't worry, I'll...
take a closer look
and do what's required.
Informing the public of the truth
is our number one responsibility.
Thank you.
May I ask you something?
Is there any
particular reason for
bringing the dossier
to this newspaper?
Everyone reads your newspaper.
I thought it would
have more impact.
Thanks.
I should be going.
Have a good day.
Good days are a world away
as far as I'm concerned.
Still, thank you for listening.
You're welcome.
Enter!
The problem of the missing dossier
has been resolved, Ma'am.
Nice work.
Sometimes you have your uses.
Ankara University School Of Medicine
Ibn-i Sina Hospital
I'm taking the patient to X-ray.
At this time?
There was a multiple car accident.
X-ray has only just freed up.
Melek.
Melek.
You don't need to come.
I'll be back with the
patient shortly.
---
Hey, what are you boys doing?
Little devils! Back again.
Are you done?
Are you still not done? You've
soaked the whole damn car!
C'mon, you'll flood
the neighbourhood. Enough!
Little devils.
Let's not forget the flower.
I have great news for you.
The deal is ours.
It was so easy.
A walk in the park!
Yes. As always, we had a lot of
help from Ma'am.
The competition? No, no.
We shat on them.
Call New York right away
and let them know.
OK, goodbye.
Here you go, driver.
Keep the change.
Thanks. Have a good trip.
Thank you.
- Where are we going?
- Kavaklidere, please.
Sure.
Hello?
Yes, I just landed.
More weekend hours.
8000 lira.
No, this time is different.
A young businessman.
I'm back on the first
flight on Monday.
Sure, it's exhausting.
Plus I have an exam on Tuesday.
But then again...
You can't live without money.
You can handle
things there, right?
OK, you're wonderful.
Thanks a lot.
Hugs and kisses. Goodbye.
Thanks.
You wouldn't believe
the passengers I had today.
Why, what happened?
Where to start? How about
blackmail and rigged bids?
Or the college call girl?
It's all there.
The country's gone off the rails.
If I went public,
it'd be seismic.
You mean they talk about this
stuff in front of you?
Yes.
Some talk to me and some
act like I'm not even there.
They get out their cell phones
and talk for hours.
Suppose we put a spy camera in
the car and record everything?
Why?
We could make news.
We could expose them all.
I did a story once.
On a rigged bidding process.
Next day, they fired me
from the newspaper.
Bastards!
I've always wanted to
get my own back.
Wait.
I've a friend who knows about
these things. I'll ask him.
Don't be daft. I'd get in trouble.
Anyway, isn't it illegal?
- Yes, it is.
- See?
It's definitely illegal.
But so is everything in this country.
Our old reporter chum wants to support
freedom of information, right?
- Exactly.
- There you go.
- So we're doing a good thing?
- Definitely.
You also need a camera in the car
for your own security.
The place is full of no-goods,
don't you see?
How can your hours be over?
Are you public sector workers?
Our arrangement with the company
is to work until 5.00.
So it's my fault for
paying you in advance, is it?
Of all the nerve!
What about all this furniture?
Give us 100 lira for
the rest and we'll move it.
- I don't understand.
- I'll move the rest for 100 lira.
- My hours finished at 5.00.
- I'll kill you!
- But..
- I'll kill you! Crooks!
- Get out of here! Beat it!
- OK, OK!
Beat it! Get out!
God damn you! Rot in hell!
God damn!
Get the hell out of here!
God damn you... Crooks!
God damn you.
What's up?
We're supposed to be moving and they
dump half the stuff here. Animals!
The so-and-sos!
Don't worry. We'll give you a hand.
Won't we, Adnan?
- What?
- We'll help, won't we?
But there's so much stuff.
And it's heavy.
No, no.
I live in the building anyway.
So we're neighbours.
Hello. Mehmet.
I'm Melek. Nice to meet you.
- I'm sorry.
- No problem.
Adnan, c'mon. Let's do it.
Adnan, what are you doing?
- Come here.
- Really?
- You want to start with that?
- Yes, c'mon. OK
- But it's so much trouble.
- Don't worry. Adnan's used to it.
- C'mon, let's go.
- Be careful, though.
The thing's empty, right?
Slowly.
Careful now.
Stop. Stop for a second.
I'm done in. Stop.
Dammit, Adnan! Why the big deal over
a few boxes and a washing machine?
Sure, when the washing
machine's the lightest thing!
Move, go on!
It's been so much trouble.
Not at all.
It was just a couple of things.
We were done in 15 minutes.
Right, Adnan? It was no trouble.
Right.
We love moving furniture anyway.
We do it all the time.
- Can I give you a napkin?
- No, no. I'm great without one.
- Let me take the glass.
- Here you go.
Thanks a lot.
We've no idea how to thank you.
Do we, Mum?
No, sweetheart. No idea.
No need.
We should be going anyway.
Shouldn't we, Mehmet?
Let's be going.
Yes.
We couldn't offer you
anything either.
- No need.
- Everything's all over the place.
Sure. You have a lot to do.
Have a nice day.
Have a nice evening.
- Let me see you to the door.
- We'll be back if you need us.
- Thanks, both of you.
- Goodbye.
Why not soap yourself.
Yes.
There we go.
Let's see them talking now!
OK, let's try it out.
No need. See the button here?
Press it once to turn
the camera on
and again to turn it off.
It's that simple.
- What if I forget?
- Why would you?
Just press the button
before you turn on the meter.
I don't feel good about it.
Can I back out?
C'mon, Mehmet!
What did we talk about that day?
But we'd be sticking a camera
into people's private lives.
Exactly! Of course we would.
That's where the news is today!
Hello.
Who are you?
I'm Mehmet. Your neighbour.
Remember we helped move
your stuff the other day?
OK. You're a good person.
Really?
How do you know?
Mum said.
Most people are bad
so we shouldn't trust them.
But she said you
were a good person.
Did she?
My grandma really
liked you, too.
She said if only you were more
handsome. What does that mean?
Well, that I'm handsome,
but not really like a famous actor.
I expect she meant
something like that.
Hey, doctor.
Whenever I come here,
you're at a table reading.
Does the stuff never end?
Or do you not get
what's on the page?
Adnan, that's out of line.
My nephew is at least
as smart as his uncle.
I've been coming here for years... and
have yet to see a glimmer of sense in you.
But your nephew is
smarter than you for sure.
After all, he got to graduate
from the school of medicine.
But seriously,
what are you reading?
I'm reading up on pathology.
- What-ology?
- Pathology! Pathology!
Go on, explain for him.
It's the study of diseases.
Of their origin and progression.
A good doctor needs
a good grasp of pathology.
So why are you reading notes?
Are there no books on it?
Sure there are.
But they're kind of pricey.
I'm making do with
notes for now.
No book is more important
than a pathology book.
Because one of the diseases in the
book is sure to come and get you.
Hey, you in the uniform!
Why aren't you out
catching thieves?
C'mon, Adnan! Don't
give me thieves.
You know I'm only
in it for the paycheck.
Besides, I haven't even held a
gun since I joined the police.
Adnan, I tell you what.
Say a thief walked in the door.
- Who'd be the first to run?
- He would!
Look at you people,
always picking on the young!
Take a look at yourselves.
You still don't have a proper job
at your age, for heaven's sake!
Tea.
Thanks.
Look, this is kind of interesting.
The guy's a businessman
from Istanbul.
He was in Ankara for a dirty weekend
and spent no less than 57,000 lira.
How can you spend
57,000 in a weekend?
35,000 went on
a bag for the girl.
Good grief! 35,000 on a bag?
Sure. You don't
have a clue, do you?
You can get bags for 16,000 euros.
I checked it out.
That makes over 60,000 lira.
It's pointless even discussing it.
The man spent the money.
Who cares?
Forget it.
It's tabloid news at most.
It's not even that.
'Istanbul businessman blows 57,000
lira on fling with woman in Ankara…'
You call that news?
Fine.
If you're saying it
isn't newsworthy,
then I'll get back to work.
Hello?
There's a man on the phone
who insists on talking to you.
He says it's about your wife
and very important.
About my wife?
Yes. That's what he said.
Put him through.
OK, I'll put him
through on line two.
Hello?
Hello. Greetings, Mr Nazmi.
I'm calling about
your wife's happiness.
Who the hell are you?
What's this about my
wife's happiness?
Mr Nazmi, I want to play you something.
Have a listen and then we'll talk.
Here you go.
What was that you said?
Hello?
I'm on my way back.
It was great. Fantastic.
I say that, but...
It cost me an arm and a leg.
The woman liked a bag
that cost 35,000 lira!
Sure I got it.
Nazmi Temizeller puts his
money where his mouth is.
Put it this way, the weekend
set me back 57,000.
Sure it was worth it.
Worth every cent.
The dame was sexy as hell.
C'mon, you only live once.
Hello?
Yes, Mr Nazmi.
What's this about?
What's up?
You don't sound too happy.
Asshole!
Are you trying to blackmail me?
Not at all! We're talking
an exchange, not blackmail.
We want something from you
and you from us. It's that simple.
Look, you've got the
wrong guy, OK?
I'm not the kind to
give in to blackmail.
- Asshole!
- If you just listen to
To what? Listen to what?
What is this?
Now look, Mr Nazmi.
For the sake of you, your wife,
and the entire country's happiness...
We want to sell you the tape
you just heard for 57,000 lira.
What do you say?
I wouldn't give you 57
kurush, dammit! OK?
You've got the wrong guy.
You have no idea. I'll do you in. OK?
Where are you?
Tell me where you are.
Calm down, Mr Nazmi!
What's to get uptight about?
It's only 57,000 lira.
A weekend's spending,
as we just heard.
Let's us get the money, you the
tape and everyone will be happy.
Don't you agree?
How the hell am I
supposed to trust you?
For goodness sake, Mr Nazmi!
I didn't say 570,000 lira.
We only want 57,000 from you.
It'll all go to charity
anyway, believe me.
I'll send a donation
receipt if you like
and you can take
it off your tax bill.
Mr. Mehmet! Hello.
Having a good day?
Yes, thank you. Thanks.
You went to so much trouble for us,
I wanted to thank you.
Not at all.
We're neighbours, aren't we?
Thank you. I was going to say...
I'm making stuffed
eggplant tonight.
- Will you come over?
- Sure.
Why not? Tonight?
Yes. Why not bring
along your friend?
OK.
What time should we come?
At dinner time. Let's say 7.30.
Is that OK?
Sure. We'll be there.
In that case... See you tonight.
OK.
Have a nice day.
God damn it!
Why do I have to cut myself
today of all days?
I look like a sacrificial sheep.
Hello, good evening.
Hello, good evening.
Yes.
Hello, good evening.
- Welcome! Come in.
- Hello.
Come on in.
I've only one pair
of men's slippers.
How are we going to work that?
We umm... Adnan!
We got you some flowers.
Thank you very much.
That's so kind. Thanks.
Please, go on through.
Let me get your shoes, Adnan.
Thanks.
Are any of those
slippers any good?
These are fine.
I'm sorry.
Keep going to the left.
It was all amazing.
I haven't had such
nice food in ages.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I didn't do a thing, though.
My daughter here
made everything.
She's so capable.
She makes baklava,
bakes pastries,
I've even seen her
preparing kebabs.
Her cooking is made in heaven!
I hope you liked it.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Why? Where are you going?
My TV series is on. Soaps are
everything for people my age.
And tonight's episode is so exciting.
There's a boy
who clearly loves the girl.
He has a baby face,
he's a good person,
unselfish, caring, friendly.
Like you, he's fair
with blue eyes.
He has your hair, too!
Anyway, he likes the girl.
As for the girl...
she's a sourpuss
and pretends to know nothing.
But I'm sure there'll be some
action tonight… In the series.
Go on, Mum. It's starting.
OK. You make some tea, OK?
- Will you have some tea?
- Sure. We drink 30 glasses a day.
- OK, I'll put the tea on then.
- Thanks.
- Don't worry about that.
- No problem.
- Here you go.
- Thanks very much.
What's with the 30
glasses of tea?
Listen. All that spiel
about the soap.
- It's looking good, huh?
- What?
Don't you get it? Oh, c'mon!
Don't be ridiculous, Adnan.
Listen. I'll go if you want.
- Go where?
- Sure. I'll just say
I have to watch the football.
No. Don't leave me
here on my own.
Forgive me if I ask something.
Was Meryem...
born with sight problems?
We tried for a baby
for a long time.
We went from doctor to doctor.
There isn't a consultant
we didn't see.
So then...
when Meryem was born,
we were overjoyed.
She was such a beautiful baby.
Mum says she was struck by the evil
eye because she was so beautiful.
We didn't realize at first.
It was Mum who did.
Meryem wasn't looking at us.
She must've been four months.
She isn't actually blind.
She can see light.
She can do simple
things by herself.
So she can eat.
But...
no way can she read,
for example.
You know she wears
those dark glasses?
She has to wear them.
Because her eyes are
super-sensitive to the light.
Also...
if I don't speak,
she doesn't recognize me.
When we found out
about all this,
her father walked out.
Then again...
we didn't exactly
marry for love.
It was our families
who arranged it.
He was my first cousin.
When he left, the whole family
turned their backs on us.
They dropped us just like that.
Whatever we'd done
to upset them...
whatever we'd done wrong.
So Mum,
me and Meryem...
we found ourselves
all on our own.
Luckily, we have
Mum's widow's pension..
And I make a little money
from sewing and dressmaking.
So...
we try to survive on that.
How about some more tea?
Anyone can say what they like...
but the sound and smell of money
are something else, guys.
We shafted the man.
Forget it.
He's rich anyway.
He probably makes and loses 10,
if not 100 times 57,000 every day.
- Had your fill of money, have you?
- No.
What are we going
to do with the money?
I don't know.
I've never seen so
much money all at once.
Let's go for a
decent kebab first.
I know a great place.
The food is said to be awesome.
“Said to be”? You
haven't been to the place?
No. Didn't have the means.
- People sure know the good life.
- Good evening. Welcome.
- Are there three of you?
- What's the name? Haci.
Now Haci. Let me say
we're no strangers to kebabs.
My friends and I want to dine
well and have a few drinks.
So let's make a deal up front.
How do you mean, sir?
What kind of tips do you get?
I'm not with you.
My point is, what's the biggest
tip you've ever had here?
Some people sometimes
leave 50 lira.
Fifty?
Look, here's 200 lira.
Go on, take it
and let's be done with this.
Just for once, my friends and I are
having a night out on the town.
Now, show me the nicest table.
Make it somewhere quiet
where we can talk in private.
Look at you, pal!
OK, it's not done to count, but...
that's your third helping!
- Don't get indigestion.
- Third?
I thought it was my fifth!
Here's an honest
50 lira for you!
Thanks a lot, sir.
See you again. Good night.
There we go.
Mehmet, why are you stopping?
Is there a problem?
Adnan.
Did you just tip
the waiter 200 lira
and the car park
attendant another 50?
Yes. What's the problem?
I tell you, all this money
will lead us astray.
C'mon, Mehmet.
We kicked up our
heels for one night.
Are three kebabs and a couple
of rakis going to corrupt us?
Are we that spineless?
OK, but...
what are we doing when so many
people we know need money?
Just throwing it around.
Halil.
Guys, Halil is in
a really bad spot.
- OK, so there's Halil.
- He hasn't paid rent for three months.
And his landlord is
threatening to throw him out.
But, guys...
I can't go offering Halil money.
He's so proud.
He'd not only refuse it,
he'd tell me where to go, too.
Wait. We'll find a way.
Who's going?
I'll do it.
The guy's an idiot!
A total idiot!
If he can't see the money
right under his nose...
of course he can't
make ends meet!
Oof, Halil!
- Wait, I'll take care of it.
- What an idiot!
What are you doing?
Hah! A balloon.
An old trick.
What old trick?
Just watch.
The door! The door!
That's all there is to it.
I will do two extra
services for you if you try it.
Mehmet, c'mon. Let's go.
Mehmet?
Let's get a headstone
made for Hasan now.
Now look, Mehmet.
Hasan has two well-off siblings.
Is it really our job?
He's right.
Hasan's been dead two years
and they've yet to do anything.
Wasn't he our closest friend?
So it's our job
to get that headstone made.
That's true. You're right.
OK, guys, leave it
with me. I'm sorry.
- OK.
- I agree, you're right.
- Now let's go.
- Look, this money isn't really ours.
So let's set up a fund.
And we'll give handouts
to whoever needs it.
If we put it in the bank,
we'd get interest.
We'd what?
Who got it?
Are you guys colour blind?
What's this stage costume, huh?
Give it here, idiot.
What do you know?
- Is it yours?
- Yes.
- Get some purple trousers to go with it.
- Sure.
Do we really need
so many clothes?
Go ahead. Be a killjoy!
But what are we doing?
We're sure to be led astray.
What are you talking about?
Why'd buying two
shirts lead us astray?
Who do you think we are?
And if it makes you feel better...
we can always spend the money
on more necessary things.
Why? Because we now
have the means.
OK, gentlemen, enjoy!
A treat from our
sponsor, Mehmet.
This is the pathology
book you wanted, isn't it?
Thanks a lot, Uncle.
Thanks a lot.
You didn't have to.
We're investing in the future.
So you don't kill us
when we get sick or old.
Take Mehmet here.
He's already showing symptoms.
He's in a cold sweat,
he's deathly pale.
So go on, see what
his prognosis is.
Tea is on the house.
C'mon, gentlemen.
Dig in, please.
Mehmet, son.
What's the story here?
I had an uncle in Sinop.
He just passed away.
- God rest his soul.
- Thanks. He didn't have kids...
so he left what he had to me.
Talk about luck.
I have five uncles...
and they're all stone-broke.
In the old days,
money used to smell.
You know?
What did it smell like?
It stank!
There weren't many banknotes then.
They got dirty changing hands.
And people carried their money
in their trouser pockets.
It made my stomach turn.
I didn't want to
touch the stuff.
No one gave much importance
to money in those days.
There wasn't much to buy anyway.
Now everything is for sale.
Even people.
- Seda.
- Yes, Professor?
Remember that pretty girl
we examined yesterday?
Have you written up
her telescopic glasses report?
The report's ready, but I'm not sure
they can pay the patient contribution.
I guess they don't have
a lot of money.
Then we'll pay for it through
the association.
OK.
But we must get her fixed up
before the schools start.
Or it'll vindicate those
who want her at a blind school.
Sure, Professor.
I'm so sorry, could
I ask a question?
Of course. Go ahead.
There's a girl in
my neighbourhood.
She was also told she
should go to a blind school.
Could she go to normal school with
those glasses? What do you say?
It's possible, but we'd
need to examine her.
- OK.
- How old is she?
Six.
That's the ideal age.
Let me give you my card.
Tell her father to call
for an appointment.
Hello.
Halil... Welcome.
Thanks.
You want some tea?
No, thanks. I must get home.
I thought I'd call in on my way.
- No time even for a tea?
- No, thanks.
OK.
The other night
I saw you outside our house.
I really don't know
how to thank you.
I was in such a tight spot.
Everyone I owe was
circling like vultures.
I even considered
suicide at one point.
I was desperate.
I'd like to return
the favour someday.
If you're ever in trouble...
don't hesitate to come knocking.
Catch me!
Catch me!
- Who have I got here?
- The blind girl.
Never say
'the blind girl' again.
Catch me, catch me.
Careful.
Guys, Auntie Melek is here!
Where?
Off you go and eat those pastries.
Not so fast! Careful now.
Or they'll stick in your throat.
How's it going?
I thought the kids
might be hungry.
I wanted to ask, is there any chance of
leaving 30 minutes earlier tomorrow?
I mean if it's OK with you.
Sure. Anyway, I'm not
working tomorrow.
Do you think it'll help?
Sure. You should've
heard the doctor in the taxi.
They were all set to send this
girl to a blind school...
but with telescopic glasses she
was able to go to normal school.
- Really?
- Yes.
Let's hope.
Can you bring the bill? OK?
It's on the house today.
- Mehmet.
- No, c'mon. Bring me the bill.
Bring Mehmet a tea instead.
Mehmet, I wanted a word
with you about something.
Go ahead.
I hear you've come
into an inheritance.
Is that right?
Yes.
I had an uncle in Sinop.
When he passed away...
I inherited a small amount.
God rest his soul.
- My condolences.
- Thanks.
Mehmet, business is
dire at the moment.
Could you give me a small loan?
Sure.
How much?
3000 lira.
Is that OK?
Yes.
But I don't have it
on me right now.
I'll drop it off tonight, OK?
Of course, Mehmet.
Thanks.
Bless you.
I'll pay you back very soon.
- Just get things worked out first.
- Thanks.
If you'll excuse me then.
No. This is separate.
Ankara University School Of Medicine
Low Vision Rehabilitation Centre
Now, Meryem, I want to
try out some glasses on you.
So, if you look at
the wall again.
I can see!
What?
Can she really see?
Yes, if she says she can.
Honey, can you see?
I can see.
- Can she really see?
- Of course she can.
Can she really see?
Let's take these glasses off.
Nurse, can you take
Meryem to the playroom?
Then you and I can have a chat.
Please, be calm.
- Up you get now.
- Can she really see?
- Will I be getting those glasses?
- Yes.
- Can she really see now?
- Yes, she can.
- Doctor, can she really see?
- Yes.
I can't believe it.
Now, these telescopic glasses
are especially important...
in that they allow her to go to a
normal school with her age group.
She'll be able to see the
blackboard and read for herself.
Then later on, she'll be able to
lead an independent life...
and have a career.
For all this to
happen, we'll need to
work closely with
you and her teacher.
I don't believe it.
Thank you so much, doctor.
In you get, sweetie.
Careful now.
Hello.
- You're wearing make-up.
- Grandma made her.
She said, “Mr Mehmet won't fancy you
if you look pasty-faced like that.”
What kind of nonsense is that?
She's making it all up.
She imagines things sometimes.
It suits you, though.
Thank you.
What's up?
What else?
Meryem is playing up again.
She's giving the
nurses a hard time.
She won't do anything they say.
She's mad at you.
That's probably why.
She's mad at me.
Who else would she be mad at?
Miss Meryem would
only be mad at me.
Who brought her into the world?
I did.
And now I have to pay the price.
Right? I brought her into the
world so I must pay the price.
I'm the guilty one.
I'm to blame for everything.
It wasn't me who was
forced to marry my cousin.
It wasn't me who was
forced to intermarry.
It wasn't me, aged 16, who said
I wanted to study, not marry...
who was flogged on the back,
caned on the soles of my feet...
locked up in dark rooms and beaten.
No, that wasn't me.
I'm so tired.
No one knows what
I've been through.
No one even cares.
Everyone just thinks of
themselves, you know?
Sometimes I think
I'd rather be dead.
But I don't even have...
the right to die.
Even death is a
freedom, you know?
Who would I leave
my old mother with?
Who'd look after my little girl?
I just want a little appreciation.
Everything's getting
on top of me.
Everything and everyone.
I'm so tired.
Just now...
Just now the doctor told me off.
She said Meryem had trouble seeing,
not hearing and told me not to shout.
I was so embarrassed.
Forgive me.
I'm kind of a nervous wreck.
I'm so sorry.
What are you reading?
Sait Faik. His short stories.
Do you really like reading?
Yes, I love it.
I didn't get to finish
high school...
but...
I've never stopped reading.
Why didn't you finish
high school?
Was it money problems
or something?
No, money was never
really a problem.
It was snow that stopped me
finishing high school.
What has snow got to do with it?
Snow was to blame.
I was in first grade
of high school...
and it started snowing one day.
It doesn't usually snow
much back home.
With the excitement of it snowing,
everyone was at the windows... and
everyone was shouting, “It's snowing!”
Our teacher was a
sullen so-and-so.
He said, “So what if it's snowing?”
And I said...
But it's sticking, sir!
Everyone started laughing.
The teacher
yelled at everyone to
return to their places.
Then he turned to me...
and gave me this horrific look.
It was so bad.
From then on,
the teacher had it in for me.
I never got a pass
grade after that.
Is that really
why you left high school?
Yes.
Because of the snow.
Since then... whenever it snows,
I'm reminded of that
teacher's terrible face.
That's why I hate snow.
If it hadn't snowed that day...
and I..
Hadn't said,
“But it's sticking, sir...”
Maybe everything
would've been different.
If something's
destined to happen,
it'll happen. There's no escape.
Sometimes.
Things are going great.
The country's booming
and bountiful.
You think we should
buy some dollars?
Where do you get that idea?
It's just people are saying
the dollar will go up.
So how about we open a currency
exchange place as well?
Hey, OK.
I was just throwing it out there.
Guys.
Can I keep this envelope?
Why? What's up?
Remember Meryem?
Melek's daughter.
I want to pay the patient contribution
for her telescopic glasses.
But Melek doesn't know.
You see what I mean?
- So is that a yes?
- OK.
Thank you.
Life's a bitch.
I could've done with this
money ten years ago.
Why? What was going
on ten years ago?
Nothing.
C'mon, there was something.
No, I just said
it without thinking.
What happened? C'mon!
Talk to us. You'll feel better.
There was this girl.
Ten years ago.
I'd have married her if I'd had money.
But I didn't.
She went and married
some rich idiot.
But she wasn't happy going.
There were a lot of tears.
There was nothing I could do.
Why? Because I had no money.
There you go.
Hey, Mehmet.
I keep meaning to ask.
Why do the neighbourhood kids
always pee on your tyres?
That's kids for you.
Someone said to them...
“If you pee on the tyres
it'll bring fortune and prosperity.”
And they believed it.
So every morning...
they stick a flower
in the windscreen wipers...
and then pee on the tyres.
It's not like I mind.
Right. It works if you ask me.
- How do you mean?
- Look how things have taken off.
Tell them to keep peeing.
In fact, why don't I join them?
No, you stay away.
Nice job, Metin. It's beautiful.
Good, isn't it?
Matt. The most expensive marble.
The shape is great, too.
It's different.
Do you think Hasan can hear us?
Yes.
He can definitely hear us.
Can you hear him?
Where the hell were you?
Why weren't you picking up?
You crashed the car.
Great!
And you hit a military van.
God damn you!
I'll take it off your wages.
Stay out of my sight!
Yes, Ma'am?
But, Ma'am...
It's not my fault, Ma'am.
The guys had an accident.
They crashed the car.
Driver, can you pull over?
Can you stop for a minute?
- Are you getting out?
- I'll check right away, Ma'am.
Can you give me a
minute in the car?
Can you get out?
I'll check right away, Ma'am.
Just a second.
- You want me to get out?
- Yes. Please.
I'll check right away.
OK.
Mum, you love me more now
I that can see, don't you?
Sweetheart.
You don't say that!
I love you so very much.
I don't believe it.
This dossier would
topple the government.
So is the stuff in here true?
What if it's just a conspiracy?
I don't know, but if it's true...
True or false,
we have the dossier now, right?
So let's take advantage of it.
We don't want to
get in deep water.
Like how?
Suppose the man realizes
he left the dossier in the taxi?
Wait.
Who is this guy?
Show me in that footage here.
- I guess that's not him.
- No, it isn't.
- That's not him. Keep going.
- I'm fast-forwarding.
Wait, stop. That's him.
Him?
I've seen that guy on TV.
That's good.
He'll be easy to find.
But who was he?
Look at the scandals this country's
seen and nothing ever changes.
Let's think.
Think about what? I'm telling
you, it's asking for trouble.
If the dossier is so precious,
they'll pay money for it.
And be more than happy to pay for it.
Just calm down.
I say we do this:
Let's wait a while.
Let's see if anyone asks you
about it, then we'll act.
I say we burn the dossier,
end of discussion.
OK, fine. I see.
The dossier is shelved
for now. OK?
Is everyone calm?
Tea?
Hello there.
Welcome. How can I help?
I wanted to look
at wedding rings.
What kind of thing do you want?
Something simple.
Of course.
How's this?
Can I see the partner to this?
Sure.
Here you are.
They look great together.
I hope it's a long and
happy marriage.
Well...
I'd love to get them, but...
I need a few months.
So let's leave it for now.
Look, my friend.
If you want them
so much, get them.
Some things in life
should never be put off.
When I was your age,
I decided to wait a little longer.
I've never got to
wear a wedding ring.
Enter!
What is it?
Ma'am.
You know the missing dossier?
Someone called to say
he'd give it back
for 57,000 lira...
otherwise he'd give
it to the press.
What did you say?
I told him to call back in one hour.
Then I hung up.
Good for you.
If you found a dossier like that, would
you give it back for 57,000 lira?
What he's asking
is on the low side.
Either he's a halfwit who has
no idea what's in his hands...
or he has other intentions.
Get the money together.
Arrange a meeting.
And when you've got the dossier...
destroy both the guy
and everyone in his family.
Yes, Ma'am.
Look what I have to deal with.
What imbecile wanted a dossier
like that to be put together?
You.
It was you, Ma'am.
Go.
Get out.
Seyranbaglari Mosque.
Is this bag yours?
Thank you.
- May God accept your prayers.
- Yours, too.
In the name of God,
the Gracious, the Merciful.
Here he is.
- How's it going?
- Mehmet.
We must be in the
Botanical Park at 3.00.
- Why?
- To pick up a payment.
A payment of
57,000 lira no less.
Why 57,000 lira?
57,000 is our lucky number.
OK. Tea?
Not for me.
I'm not coming. You guys go.
C'mon! Don't be afraid,
I'll be there.
We'll go together...
leave an envelope in the garbage,
take the envelope for us...
and go back to the taxi.
It's that simple.
- OK.
- There's nothing to worry about.
What's going on with you?
I'm off to the town hall.
It won't take half an hour.
Hobble in and you get seen right away.
What's the point in queuing for hours?
I'll be back in half an hour.
What's he playing at?
Isn't that plain dishonest?
Isn't he deceiving people?
Isn't that shameful?
You're right, Adnan.
It's all of those.
Adnan. What are we doing here?
- How much further is it?
- Like you've walked miles. Patience!
We walked into a trap. Go that way.
I'll pretend to be blind.
- Quick! I'll explain.
- Explain what, Adnan?
- Who are those guys?
- Move! I said I'll explain.
- No one's following us, are they?
- No, Adnan. Let's go. God damn you.
- Are we being followed?
- There's a man to the left.
What does he look like?
We weren't going to
touch that dossier!
Sorry! I gave in to temptation.
OK. This whole thing ends here!
No more camera, no more tapes!
Put your seat belt on.
No one turned up.
We were there for an hour.
Did you see anything
out of the ordinary?
A dog attacked two of our guys.
So they had to leave
their hiding place.
No one else showed up.
Is that right?
A young couple
had a fight in front of us.
The girl started
beating up the guy.
We had a hard time rescuing him!
Anyone else?
An old woman was
walking her dog.
And there was a blind man
with someone else.
Wait. Describe the guy
with the blind man.
What did they do?
They walked past us
and left the park.
Then they got in a
taxi and drove away.
Did they hail a passing taxi
or take their own?
They took their own.
Did the blind man drive
or the other guy?
I didn't notice.
I don't remember.
Idiot! They're who we're looking for.
Find them for me fast!
Enter!
Ma'am,
the man we're looking
for is a taxi driver.
He showed up today as agreed,
but must have
suspected something...
because he left the park
without taking the cash.
Get rid of all taxi drivers.
But, Ma'am, there are
7800 taxis in Ankara.
Then,
find the man and
do away with him.
Everyone get up! Stand in line!
Your photos will be taken.
- Who the hell are you to...
- Shut your mouth!
Everyone get up!
Let's say the state wants your
photo for its collection.
Chief, how do we
know you're police?
The hell we're police!
Chief, we accept anything
the daddy-state decides.
- If you like, we can do a group photo.
- Shut it!
Forget trawling
the cab ranks, chief.
The chamber of drivers
has photos of all cabbies.
Whoa!
I think they're police
and turns out they're state.
That midget has a mean punch.
Who's there?
Me, Mehmet.
Mehmet?
Hello.
Hello.
How are you?
Fine. You?
I'm fine, too.
I'm not disturbing you, am I?
No, you aren't.
Were you asleep?
I was starting to
get ready for bed.
Umm,
I just thought I'd see
if you needed anything.
That's why I'm here.
No, there's nothing I need.
I mean, everything's fine.
Thanks a lot.
OK then.
Can I ask you something?
Is it normal to hear the
water pump sometimes?
I guess so. Because when
anyone turns on a tap...
the water's pumped
up from downstairs.
Thanks.
Then that must be why I came.
You're funny. Thanks a lot.
Everything's fine.
I don't need anything. Thanks
OK, then. Good night.
Good night.
Why not close the
door and I'll go?
No, it's OK. I'll, you know...
No, go on.
OK, if you say so. Good night.
Why's my nephew
asleep at the table?
He was on call last night.
He didn't get any sleep.
Ass! Why not go home and sleep?
He wants to watch
tonight's game with us.
That's why he didn't go home.
I see. Football.
Let's go, friend.
- Climb in.
- Let's go, let's go.
- Let's go.
- OK, let's go.
Just a second.
Do you have a stick in the car?
- A stick for what?
- Where we're going.
I've some business
to take care of.
We're going to umm.
Don't you have a stick?
No. I have no use for sticks.
OK, look. We'll go to Ulus.
I've a score to settle there.
While I'm taking care of that,
you'll wait. Then...
- Oh, and you can help if you want.
- Help?
Why not?
Then there'd be more of us.
Look, every driver carries
a cricket bat in his car...
- or a baseb...
- Baseball bat.
- So why don't you have one?
- I just don't.
A club or a stick, you know.
OK, let's go.
- Where are we going?
- We're going to Ulus.
- Ulus.
- Here, look. The fare up front. OK?
If it's more,
I'll pay the difference.
Money isn't a problem.
Now let's go.
- OK.
- I've a small score to settle.
- So you're headed for a fight.
- The king of fights.
- And I'm supposed to wait for you?
- Yes, you wait while I settle things.
- Then you'll be back?
- Yes. Now let's go.
- OK, let's go.
- Let's go.
Let's go and
see what's going on.
We're looking for
Mehmet, the cab driver.
They said we'd find him here.
He's a bit late tonight,
but he won't be long.
Have a seat and some tea.
Look, guys.
How's this for a watermelon?
All 16 kilos of it.
Anything less is inedible anyway.
We may as well sit down
and have a tea.
Ah!
- Beat them all up, did you?
- No.
- No? So you forgave them?
- I didn't beat them up...
because no one was
at the tea house.
They didn't turn up today.
They got away.
- Or I'd have made mincemeat of them.
- Right. They got away.
Right. They sure were lucky.
Look, I've someone waiting up for me.
Let me take you home.
- Where's home?
- I don't have one.
- So you live on the street?
- Yes! On the frigging street.
Because the wife kicked me out
and changed the locks.
And I threw away the keys.
- Don't you have anyone else?
- Yes, I have my lover.
- OK, I'll drop you there.
- No. She's getting married tomorrow.
That's my whole problem.
Sounds like you have
your work cut out.
Was it the Lycians
who invented money?
Or the Phrycians?
Or the Phrygians?
Who was it?
It was the Lydians.
The Lydians.
Where did Phrycians come from?
Look, whenever I've had money
I've had problems.
Whenever I've had money
everyone tries to screw me
See that tea house? The thing with
money... Anyway, that's a long story.
I lend everyone a shed load
and now I can't get it back.
It doesn't matter, I don't want it.
But... Anyway, long story.
So, look.
Let's go down the hill
and I'll take you somewhere.
It'll blow your mind.
Let me take you for a coffee
first, then I'll drop you off.
- OK, but then we'll go, won't we?
- Sure, we'll go.
The mezes are wicked. C'mon.
OK, in you get.
Money doesn't matter.
I don't care about money.
You're right.
Now go on, in you get.
Money, money, money.
Was it Napoleon who said that?
Yes, Napoleon.
Money, money, money.
- Yes.
- Money, money, money.
People are murdered
and maimed for it.
You may have a fortune
of millions...
but a shroud won't take
a penny in its pockets.
Greetings!
Hey, doctor.
You're still here at this time?
Hey, OK. Get off.
- C'mon.
- Get off me.
C'mon.
Adnan!
Doctor?
Doctor?
The watermelon...
has been blown to pieces.
Why keep ringing the bell
like a debt collector?
Can't you drop dead?
Where have you been the last two days?
Working for the motherland. I've
barely slept two hours in two days.
Take off those glasses.
You look like a blind man.
Not more baklava!
- Dad!
- Girls!
Welcome home, Dad!
- Can you give me a bottle of water?
- Mehmet.
Here. Forget the money, but go.
Two guys in shades
are asking after you.
Everyone's scared.
If the boss sees you, he'll fire me.
Here, take the money
all the same.
Thanks.
Boys, do you know this man?
He's a taxi driver.
No, we've never seen him.
Too bad.
There's a 100 lira reward for
anyone who helps us find him.
Do we get the reward
if we find another cabbie?
Who are you?
Mehmet's coming. Don't let him in.
We don't want trouble.
Mehmet.
What's going on, my friend?
- Your boss doesn't want me, huh?
- Sorry.
Say hello from me.
Goodbye.
Uncle Mehmet. Two guys in
shades are looking for you
They have a photo of you.
Thanks for telling me.
It's better if we aren't seen
together for a while. OK?
Off you go now.
We'll be back
tonight, Uncle Mehmet.
OK.
Is there anything you want?
No.
But thanks a lot.
They killed the girl and
her grandma. The mother's injured.
What do they want
from these poor people?
It's so weird.
No one heard a thing.
Who was that?
- Mehmet.
- What kind of guy are you? Let him in!
This is our apartment
block's storeroom.
You can stay the night here.
Mutt sleeps here, too.
You can keep each other company.
Mutt is a stray, but he's
really well-behaved.
Uncle Mehmet.
Is evil contagious?
No, evil isn't contagious.
But don't worry.
Even if it was,
you wouldn't catch it.
Ow! God damn you!
Very interesting.
Where did you find the dossier?
A passenger left it in my taxi.
The contents will upset
a lot of people.
You're aware of
that, aren't you?
Yes.
Friends said the same thing.
Friends?
Friends at the tea house.
All of them were killed
two days ago.
I heard something about a blood feud.
That must've been it.
Yes.
Thanks.
OK.
Don't worry, I'll...
take a closer look
and do what's required.
Informing the public of the truth
is our number one responsibility.
Thank you.
May I ask you something?
Is there any
particular reason for
bringing the dossier
to this newspaper?
Everyone reads your newspaper.
I thought it would
have more impact.
Thanks.
I should be going.
Have a good day.
Good days are a world away
as far as I'm concerned.
Still, thank you for listening.
You're welcome.
Enter!
The problem of the missing dossier
has been resolved, Ma'am.
Nice work.
Sometimes you have your uses.
Ankara University School Of Medicine
Ibn-i Sina Hospital
I'm taking the patient to X-ray.
At this time?
There was a multiple car accident.
X-ray has only just freed up.
Melek.
Melek.
You don't need to come.
I'll be back with the
patient shortly.
