As If (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Karanlik Güç - full transcript

Ilkkan and Yilmaz attend the apartment management meeting to fight a dark force awakening in their neighborhood.

-It's a kindergarten construction.
-What?

Kindergarten construction. The sound!
Underground is all rock around here.

I think, it's time to deal with
this drill sound.

It's time the city hall steps in and
solves this problem.

What's the city hall gonna do
about the drill sound?

İlkkan, this drill sound should have
a compensation pay.

It can't go on like this, this sound is
so annoying. It really disturbs me.

The mayor should knock at every door

and find out how long the neighborhood
is subject to the drill sound

let's say three hours,

There has got to be an hour pay limit



and the city hall then should pay
the total compensation.

I think, this is the solution.

Such drill sounds have become like a
background melody in big cities.

It's become normal. The hall can't pay
such a thing for each sound.

I'm focusing on this drill sound,
I'm fine with others.

The drill sound is unbearable.

I can't even hear my own thoughts now,
this drill pressures my inner voice.

Maybe I've thought beautiful things for
two hours, but there's nothing left.

Maybe I had something to do today. Do I
have a duty today? I don't know! But

maybe I had. See I've forgotten.

They hang up signs
"We're sorry to annoy the surrounding"

Can that be enough?
Of course, not.

Would it be ok, if I shit on the
pavement and say I'm sorry, then leave?

Is it just ok to apologize, İlkkan?
This drill sound! Just apologizing



isn't enough for this drill noise.

I don't want an apology, I want money.

The city hall should come and pay me,

because I am subject to
this drill noise.

-Something happened. Take a look.
-What happened?

Run! Run! That way!
Where are these people running to?

Run, run, hurry!

Look how many people gathered around!

Or is it an accident?

Oh my! This building, it's falling
apart day by day.

I swear this building is like a ruin.

I can't stand it any longer, I'm gonna
get some more sleep.

I am so pissed off! Bloody drill sound.

Life's turned into a nightmare!

-I'm going to the butcher's,
you want anything? -Minced meat!

THE OTHER DAY

Remember those circumcision sashes?
You had one on, right?

-Yeah, it wrote "mashallah" on it.
-Yes, that one.

How was it? I don't exactly remember,
but was it this way or

was it this way "mashallah"?

-I think, mine was the left shoulder.
-You mean this way.

Yes, I think it is better that way.

I think, it should be like this
"mashallah" in the middle.

Don't agree. It'd be like
a football jersey then.

Instead of this kind,

Then, you would have to pin it on
it won't stay still.

-This one would stay still,
-No, I mean like belt tied at the back

like a groom's belt.
-Oh, tied with a knot.

Can be tried.

Just an idea.

Might have been done.
I think, it definitely was tried.

I can't remember which way mine was.
That's the problem.

Don't you have a photo?
Find them and look.

-Aunt Ümran, welcome. Good morning.
-Good morning, son.

Did you hear what happened?

-What did I hear?
-There's gonna be an apartment meeting,

I'm going now, you come too.

Is it a case of theft?

-I don't want to say anything,
-Come on, tell it!

You come to the meeting, everything is
going to be spoken there.

Come on, just say what happened.

-You hurry, come upstairs.
-Please, Ms. Ümran tell me. what is it?

-Come to the meeting.
-God's sake, tell me.

-Oh, bro, ok, ok!

-I don't want to confuse your mind.
-Ok, ok Aunt Ümran, we're coming.

don't you worry, we're coming.

Oh my God!

-What? What?
-Close the door, cold's getting in.

You're going to fix this door.
You broke it, getting in and out!

As if I broke it, it was like that
since I've been here.

Either come, stay here or never come.
You're always coming and going.

Everyone's here. I'm beginning. Now,
I heard that

I guess many of our friends here have
already heard, but of course,

before we are sure, we wanted to
have a meeting.

Who heard and saw what?
We want you to hear from them.

But, firstly I want to ask how
you all are.

Mrs. Asiye?

-Thank you.
-Would you like some water?

No, thank you.

-Would you like a drink?
-A cup, will do.

Here

Mrs. Asiye, what's happening?
Someone tell us, what's happening?

-Bro, calm down, they're gonna talk.
-I'm already calm --You're not --I am

I see you are nervous. Ok. But patience
please. We're gonna discuss it.

-Are you fine, Mrs. Asiye?
-Yes, better.

-Yes, the things I'm gonna talk now
is rather important, no panic, ok?

But, of course we decided to do
some research.

During the ground work of the
construction, across the road

it is said that some kind of dark force
has been awakened

Did you see such a thing? What is that?
Mr. Ercan, this dark, what woke up?

Where has this dark force awakened?
-They say in the across building.

This is what we heard and so as the
manager of Ergün apartment

I gathered you here
to discuss this issue.

Oh my! Do such things happen?

Not so often I guess, but there is
such a rumor.

Many cases of going crazy has been
seen in the neighborhood, last night.

Who's saying such things? Who?

They dug that ground so deep,
it was clear such thing would happen.

What? How could such thing be clear
Mr. Emrullah?

Then, let's say it was clear.
Why didn't you warn the people?

So, you shouldn't have dug so deep.

Bro, I agree. They dug the ground
too deep.

They kept on digging. As if
they could't stop it.

They wanted more and more. You all know
the weakness of human being.

They got in trouble because of
their passion for more.

My bro, what can they have desired more
in that ground work? Please tell me.

Do you believe in this? What ambition
you talking about in such a work?

It's not about the kindergarten,
it's something so different.

Mr. Yılmaz. I understand you, but still
I think some borders

may have been exceeded.
I mean among the worlds.

Mr. Emrullah, and I have a such a claim
that you, as Mr. Emrullah

you can not have any knowledge
about those worlds.

Mr. Yılmaz. Still, I say you should do
some research.

My son, last night they warned me
in my dreams.

In my dream, they said: Asiye, we are
pleased with you.

You never lied.

You never broke a heart.

That is why we are content with you.

I think, this has got something to do
with the awakening of the dark force.

-Do you say they are the dark forces?
-No, my son.

With the awakening of the dark forces,
they implied to me not to be afraid

we are of the pleased ones about you.

Is there any case of craziness
in our building?

Well, actually. Last night I felt as if
I would go crazy.

What you saying? What happened to you?

-I didn't tell you yesterday. Remember
I went to the butcher's? -Yes, so?

I went to the butcher's yesterday,
to buy some meat.

You know the glass stores they display
the meat and goods

There were three lamb heads, and
they made eye contact with me.

But, they are heads, you know heads
look at everyone.

No, bro. Not as you say. While I was
moving around in the shop

they followed me, with their eyes.
-Shut up! You ass. Don't make me swear

in the crowd! What are you talking?
-How rude, what are you doing?

-Mr. Yılmaz. Manners please.
-I'm sorry. I lost my nerves, pardon.

Bad manners! Anyway, let's say so.

Then, explain how your framed photo
fell off the wall.

My dear, I already talked about it
that moment.

Because the walls of our building have
become weak, Mr. Ercan,

the nail on the wall wasn't stiff,
so that's why the frame fell down.

Oh, there's nothing to do with
the dark forces, right?

In the meantime, Mr. Emrullah has
something to say.

Could you please explain it,
Mr. Emrullah?

I woke up this morning, and realized
that I can speak spanish.

-How?
-I got up in the morning and

I felt like speaking Spanish.
Then I suddenly did.

Then, I want to ask something.
-Yes.

Well, if Mr. Emrullah speaks Spanish
right here

is there anyone to confirm it?
-What do you mean?

How could he prove it? Now, can you
please speak Spanish, Mr. Emrullah?

Dos Santos, importante simpre perfovor

What did he say?

What? What did he say, Mrs. Ümran?
What? What did he say?

What did he say?
What did he say?

-He's speaking, what's what he says?
-He's making it up? Speaking what?

I don't know Spanish. I can't translate
it. Is there anyone to translate?

Where nobody knows anything,
a person can know everything.

Let's listen to a Spanish song,
and let's see if he can translate.

-It says
-Turn it off. What does it say?

My Love, You are my endless love.

I would like to always see you beside.
Passion and love

My love,
in my life,

my life, my only reason
to live is you

My love,
my life is blank without you.

I want you sit beside me
and your eyes look on me

-It says.
-Bravo. Ok.

Believe it or not, let's not further
debate about it.

We have to speak about how
we could take measures.

The common opinion in the neighborhood
is that a dark force has awakened.

Mr. Ercan, the truths already have
no worth, we live on common opinions.

Ok, son, I'm trying to do my job, and
just you still have it in your mind.

Ok, I haven't seen, heard, felt any
such thing, dear neighbors but

I will be watching. ok?

And if something happens,
I'll inform you.

With the opinion of our neighbor at
door number four, Mr. Veysel

as a counter act, the management is
going to hand out some salt.

We are going to pour some in front of
the windows and the door at night

so that this dark force can't enter
our homes.

What does this number four,
Mr. Veysel do?

-He is a DJ.
-Ok, thank you.

But, he is also into these issues.

So, we have quite a lot of salt at home
Mr. Ercan. No need any for us.

-Is it table salt?
-Table salt.

I, Ümran Türksoy, want to speak.

We are face to face with
a dark force awakening.

I think, this situation surpasses
our precautions.

I, as an educationist, say that

as Ümran Türksoy,

we must report this to the authorities.

What should we do Mrs. Ümran? Call the
fire brigade, against dark force?

-Bro, why are you behaving so?
-Yes, what's it going to do,

against our dark force? -What are you
saying? I think Mrs. Ümran's right.

She's right. The government has to do
something. We, citizens are in danger.

What can the government do against the
dark force awakening

in the kindergarten construction
in your street?

You tell me that. What's is to do?
-Oh my God --What do you mean?

-What the government --But we are here
--It's ok but --The government should

--Please, be calm
--Don't talk at the same

You get up in the morning, then say,
today will be a nice day as usual

Then, suddenly

you find yourself pouring salt around
your home.

Ok, bro. We're maybe doing it for
nothing, but what if it works that day.

I'm doing it to relax myself.

So, I could say I did what I could have
done. So, I don't feel any guilt.

Yeah, that's so Mr. İlkkan. All what
matters is one's own relaxation.

See how they make you pour salt around
your own home.

Why don't you just have a look
at yourself?

You really do have this aggressive
attitude on you since morning.

-Can you say that this is not the
result of that dark force? -Yes!

I am nervous because we have to pour
salt in our home with the pressure

of the neighborhood. Do you get it?

I'm pouring salt in my livingroom, the
reason for my anger.

I think, you should think it over.

-How are you doing?
-Fine Mr. Ercan.

Take this list I'm handing out to all
and get all items asap.

-What are these for?
-A disaster kit, for the dark force.

Ok, thank you.

What's he saying?

We're preparing a disaster kit,
for the dark force.

We'll get them all in the morning,
as shops are closed now.

-We'll go to the cheap shop.
-Ok, and maybe it'll be fine so

we'll have some tea outside, what's do
you say? Huh? It'll be fine, right?

Alright.

Yes, this is done bro. It can't get in
from here.

-Anywhere we haven't done? Over there?
-It's done.

Here is done too, İlkkan. But, it can
get in from here, I don't know.

I think it can get in from there too.

We went and quickly, bought a whistle
İlkkan!

-So, what bro! We had to, we did.
-What we do with a whistle?

Maybe the sound, frequency or vibration
of it passivates the dark force.

-We blow the whistle, to the dark lord?
-What's wrong, or is it rude?

We, look İlkkan, this is enough
on its own.

In case this evil powerful dark force
awakens and harms us,

we bought this wafer.

This must be enough! All alone.

-Mr. Emrullah!
-Emrullah! How are you?

Mrs. Aynur got blind.

How?

You mean she can't see?
I'm so sorry, anything we can do?

-Like, what can you do?
-Like, not that we would do, but still

you know, in such cases people would
ask in manners of kindness,

Do something, bro!

You still don't take these dark forces
seriously.

I trust in your young age, but

your turn will arrive, too.
-Well, Mr. Emrullah, are you sure?

Sure, I am. What else could it be?

You know there's hysterical blindness,
Hitler's illness, yours may be same.

Temporary blindness.

Do you take Mrs. Aynur and Hitler
the same?

Of course, I don't mean they are the
same, just the disorder I mentioned.

Anyway!

-Buenas noches.
-Exactly

Bro, bravo. You resemble his
long-life wife with Hitler.

I mentioned the illness, the similarity
of the disease, nothing else.

How Mrs. Asiye talked at the meeting,
"they warned me in my dream,

you never lied, never broke a heart,
we are pleased of you"

and all that talk, so Mrs. Aynur
felt crushed

then she made up she is blind,
this is a hysterical blindness.

Allahu-ekbar! Allahu-ekbar!

My eye! The smoke got in my eyes!

You want me to blow, come here.

Come here, let me blow. huh?

-Blow, let's see what happens?
-Open.

-Don't look, don't look!
-Hey mates, hey mates?

-No, it'll be rude to the man.
-You don't hear, come have some tea.

We don't have any time for tea, thanks!

-Muhsin, what's up? Anything new?
-Same as usual.

-We are here waiting.
-Have you any changes going?

I don't know, well it's not much
pleasing these days.

Erkan is off today, he feels ill.
-Oh, I feel sorry, what is it?

-Don't mention it!
-Bro, these all are of that dark force.

An hour ago, I was using the dryer.
Suddenly, the power got cut

I had four clients inside, they got up,
and ran away.

-This is what I can't bear, I go crazy.
-What?

This nonsense really gets on my nerves.

These women think this evil dark force
will wake up and harm them, so they

pour salt all in their homes, and come
to the dresser and get their hair done.

-So, what's wrong with this bro?
-Does this sound ok to you?

-It's normal, --Are you ok with this?

So, you say we should forget everything
because dark force has awakened?

-Should we, --When the things we see
and the claims we face don't match,

then, this makes me angry.

I'm sorry bro, but I see nothing
irrelevant here.

Women pour salt in their homes
as a precaution, yes.

They'll come and get their hair done,
just like their other hobbies.

Should we stop our lives just because
dark force has awakened?

Should life stop? Look, whatever
happens life must go on, Yılmaz.

How well you said!

Muhsin, the power here is cut off,
these ladies know this, right?

-This is about how you see it, --Yeah
about how you see it!

-But this time it was not as usual.
-Not as usual! I'm sorry to hear, ok!

The fuse went off not as usual, ok.
That's why it's different.

What did you do about the kit?

Oh, wait! I'm gonna show
something to you.

-Why make this man answer, we were
--Wait, a second. Ok, we're going.

I got everything ready. Look. See.

I just don't have a whistle.
I don't know how I'll get it.

Buy one from the shop in the next
street at the corner. Make it complete.

-That kit.
-The whistle is vital, Muhsin.

Don't forget. Many people in the street
without one. Kids have but you don't.

-Shouldn’t be without a whistle.
-Right.

The dark force has awakened you should
not be without a whistle.

-Anyway, have an easy day.
-Thank you.

The balconies are a little edged.

since it is winter, but

can't say the same for the inner walls.

Mr. Ercan, what's going on?

Oh. Mr. Yılmaz, please, let me
introduce. This is Mr. Nabukadnezar.

He has been so kind and come over
to help us with the situation.

Welcome, but I couldn't exactly
understand the name.

Beauties may be with you,
my dear brother.

I am known as Nabukadnezar.

He, himself is an expert
on dark forces.

-Where is your specialty from?
-Sir, this skill

passes on to people by way of masters'
supervising. There is no such school.

-I'm sorry to interfere.
-Yes, Mrs. Asiye.

A while ago,

the dark force,

tried to rape me.

I sent it away!

No, sir!

Salt, would salt work?

You've poured salt everywhere in the
apartment.

All the stairs, all beams

Let me put it this way, salt is
an inviting.

You have clearly invited it
to enter the building.

-How do we know, that's what we heard?
-Sir, you can do nothing by such talk.

by such sayings and suggestions,
it won't work.

-Yes, sure!
-I'm gonna give a different mixture.

-Mr. Nabukadnezar, what is this thing?
-Sure, let me explain.

Mr. Nabukadnezar, will you please tell
us your actual name, by the way.

Nabukadnezar, my real name.

Alright, thank you.

Well, all around the world there are
sleeping inactive

ancient dark forces.

And these ancient devils

after some specific events come out
on the earth.

For example; archaeologic excavations,
landslides, --kindergarten construction

like in our present condition, because
of a kindergarten construction.

Now, I want to do some measures. Let's
see what kind of force this is.

And is it now here? Has it gone through
an escape among us?

We'll check such details.

Now, may I please ask you all to close
your eyes for a minute.

Thank you.

Mr. Nabukadnezar. Sorry to say!
Since yesterday, I have

a severe diaherea.

-What's that?
-He's got loose bowels.

Ok. we may open our eyes.

This is a very young force,
about 1 million years of age.

Such kinds do not give much harm, but
instead they play and cause stress.

Not here at the moment.

-Oh My!
-Mr. Nabukadnezar, my wife can't smile since.

And I got up one day and
started speaking Spanish.

-Interesting!
-Yes, he translated a song into Turkish

My brother-in-law came with a prostate,
but don't think it's because of this.

Well, now, first of all we're gonna buy
a huge canvas.

Sir, is this your web site, please
check it. Just a minute. Where?

Lost it! Just a minute!

Is this your web site?

Yes.

Well, is your real name Caner?

My real name is Nabukadnezar.

Here, it writes Caner. Your site.
What does it say?

Caner Yılmaz and Nabukadnezar
in parantheses.

-So,
-A minute Mr. Ercan, please.

-Right, isn't it?
-Yes. correct.

That's my birth name.

Ok, then. Sorry, you go on.

Yes, dark force. Please, Mr. Caner.

Well, let's do it this way.

I'll write you a list and
you write the same.

It's vital not to leave out
any precautions.

It has affected us all.

Now, dear Caner! Apartment residents!
Here we do have events happening.

But, it is not called Dark forces.

This is called mass hysteria,
Mr. Ercan!

Mr. Emrullah, you told me to reseach. I
did and this is called mass hysteria.

You all are struggling under
this hysterical condition.

My son! Haven't I gone through a rape?

No, Mrs Asiye. No. This Caner
is making it all up.

-Oh.

-Mr. Yılmaz, with your mocking and
belittling attitude

I'm saying as an educationist, you are
making things easy for this dark force.

Mrs. Ümran, Have you ever talked
as an ordinary citizen, till now?

Oh, bro. Don't change the topic. What
are you doing? I agree with Mrs. Ümran.

She's talking the right. What do you
think you're doing?

You start showing off, objecting then
belittling, and stuff!

Look, there are things
science can't explain.

Dear İlkkan! This man named Caner,
don't know his age!

You are purchasing canvas from him.
-So, what bro! If it helps us, we will.

So what's happened to you man! Yes,
there are things science can't explain

but science does explain this, my bro.
-Really?

Turn your head and take a look at this
guy, for god's sake.

No, don't offend the man!

Well, Mr. Yılmaz, now tell me, what's
the reason of my diaherea?

Mr. Ercan, how many times have you had
this diaherea?

Were they all because of magicians,
wizards or such forces?

He's saying 1 million years old.

Did this cause your diaherea now?
Whatever caused you to have diaherea

up to now, it's the same.

You might have had a bad stomach.

-With the dark forces, --Oh my! Stop
crying straight away.

You all go on tears straight away,
suddenly go whining!

-Go proud with what you did!
-Sisters and brothers, please calm down

The dark force is now provoking us.

-I swear, madness also has a limit.
-Discretion please, calm!

I, as an educationist, lost my nerves.

-You have the keys?
-I'm coming, let's have a talk.

İlkan, now I'm going home and
calling an ambulance.

We have paid an extra 150 for the
apartment dues this month.

Not just us, all the flats did.

As a payment for science, right?

-Yes.
-Ok.

You mean,

each flat

to Nabukadnezar, Caner

gave 150 liras?

-Yes.
-Bravo, bravo.

What happened? The dark force has gone
silent for the last two three days.

The man solved it.

Caner?

Yeah.

Tezcan, went to Bandırma
to their summer house.

Shouldn't have they?
They said, the danger is over.

-Here, boys. I made you some halva.
-Thank you, Mrs. Aynur.

Not to mention. It's festival today.
Have as much as you want.

-Mrs. Aynur, your eyes have gone better
-Yes, I'm fine, it's getting

better and better, day by day.
-Wish you get better very soon.

-Want some?
-Bring a folk so we can.

Are we gonna eat with our fingers
like a cannibal?
