The Things You Kill (2025) Movie Script
1
Good morning.
Good morning.
How are you doing?
I saw your dad last night.
Did you wake up startled?
I was at your dad's house.
I was sleeping alone.
Suddenly, someone knocked.
With a very loud sound
Knock, knock, knock.
I jumped up.
I went to the door.
I opened it and saw it was Dad.
...but his face...
I don't know...
...a little...
He said he was tired.
"Move aside, let me come in."
He just passed me by.
He went into the living room
and lay down by the wall.
He said, "I'll sleep here for a bit."
Then he said...
He said, "Turn off the light."
"Turn off the light?"
"Yeah."
I remember it well.
He said, "Turn off the light."
I have no doubt.
Turn off the light.
Get the usual one.
You've gotten it before.
If that's not there, get whatever there is.
Get one.
Why?
Don't get seven or eight?
No.
No, I'm allergic to some of them.
One is enough.
Please put it in a black bag.
Mom, don't rush.
Don't rush, you'll fall.
The machine doesn't work?
Mom?
Welcome home, son.
God bless you, darling.
Are you okay?
Come on in.
That machine still doesn't work?
What does work in this house?
What else doesn't work?
Is Dad not here?
Does a house ever close? (Implying "Does a house ever get fixed?")
Okay, where should I put these?
May God reward you.
Put them in the kitchen cabinet.
Okay.
Don't rush too much, okay?
Mom?
This won't fix it.
The pipes need replacing.
Tell your dad.
Mom?
All the pipes need to be replaced.
It can't stay like this.
I'll call someone tomorrow to take a look.
Come on, let's go wash you.
Nasrin's coming to wash me tomorrow.
Why?
Are you embarrassed of me?
If you really want, cut my nails.
I'll cut your nails too, honey.
Get up.
Come on, let me wash you first.
I'll wash myself.
Please, Mom.
Go do your work.
Get up, stop bothering me.
Let's go, I'll wash you.
Come on.
I'll do it myself.
Please get up, Mom.
Come on.
Hurry up!
I'll get up myself.
Okay, get up.
Did you become a doctor?
Mom, I'm not a doctor,
but I know a few things.
Even a veterinarian is still a doctor.
I promise I won't bother you.
Don't worry.
You've gone to a lot of trouble, God bless you.
I would have washed myself.
What trouble?
What do you want me to get?
I'll take you to physical therapy, okay?
Why?
It's no use.
Mom, please don't start.
You haven't gone at all this month.
These legs won't get better with that.
Mom, please don't be stubborn.
I really don't want to have this conversation.
Don't you see your legs?
They tangle when you walk?
They'll break.
You'll be bedridden.
It's not a joke.
Okay, she's here.
I'll go now.
Nasrin is coming, she'll take you tomorrow.
Please don't make trouble, okay?
Okay.
Goodbye.
Welcome, son.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
I came to visit Mom.
You didn't have to.
How are you? Are you well?
I'm fine.
The bathroom and toilet need repairs.
The pipes need replacing.
There's nothing wrong with the pipes.
Mom doesn't use the bathroom much.
Nothing will happen, don't worry.
Well, how's she supposed to go to the outhouse with those legs?
What's wrong with walking a bit?
It's good for her.
She can take a few steps, nothing will happen.
Did you see this?
How is she supposed to use it?
If you want to go to Adana, tell me.
I'll get someone to fix it.
No need, I'll fix it myself.
If you were going to fix it, you would have done it by now.
Why are you doing this, I don't understand?
I want to pay for it.
Why are you upset?
Take your money and buy yourself some pants.
Got it?
This is my house,
Mom.
I'll do whatever I want.
Son, go.
God be with you.
See what kind of child you raised?
Look.
He's just like his brainless brothers.
Don't insult them.
Leave them alone.
Okay, come on, let's go.
Come on.
Good job, good job.
Good job, smart boy.
Take it.
Good job.
Good job, son.
I'll be back, okay?
Okay.
You can go inside.
These have been thoroughly checked.
No need for retesting?
We tested twice.
Both tests show low sperm count and
low motility, unfortunately.
So, there's no hope?
Hope for what?
To become a father?
Or to become a biological father?
Welcome.
Thank you.
Did the maternity clinic call today?
No.
The results should have arrived today.
I should bring Mom to live with us.
Your dad won't allow it.
I need to sit down and talk to him.
Maybe he'll agree.
Okay.
Be patient.
It's not exactly comfortable here either.
It would be much easier if we had an elevator.
At least they have a yard there.
She's happy with her flowers and plants.
Translation.
It's actually a Latin word.
It comes from "translate".
...Trans...
That was good.
We said it comes from "translatus"... Trans...
...Latus.
It's made up of these words.
What does "trans" mean?
Beyond.
Further.
What does "lato" mean?
Transferred.
What is it originally?
Taking something from one place
and moving it to another.
...Just...
When we examine the root of the word "translation,"
which came from Arabic to Turkish,
We come to the word "Targumnu" in Akkadian.
What does "Targuman" mean?
It means explaining,
interpreting.
The work that a translator does.
Instead of just transferring words,
they interpret it.
...For example...
When I was in America,
They used to say I was brown.
Now, if I wanted to translate that into Turkish the same way,
I'd have to say "rengi kahverengi" (brown color).
Right?
Looks like you're not paying attention.
Sorry, Professor.
What were we talking about?
About translation...?
What were we talking about?
Don't you know it's forbidden to bring your phone to class?
You talked about the root of the word "translation."
You examined the Latin and Akkadian roots
but didn't get to the Arabic root.
What was the Arabic root?
The Arabic root must be "Rajm."
What does "Rajm" mean?
Stoning?
Cursing, throwing, killing,
right?
What does this have to do with our topic?
If you play with your phone in class one more time,
I'm kicking you out.
Sorry, Professor.
Don't start again, please.
Damn machine.
Just work once, will you?
Work!
Is that how it works?
Professor, it's not working.
How can that be?
We've been working with it for years.
Maybe it's not feeling well today.
Maybe it needs a rest.
Oh my God.
I have a point to make to you.
I'll show you.
I seek refuge in God from Satan, the outcast.
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Thank you.
Alright.
...Professor.
I teach English translation part-time.
I heard we won't have this course next semester.
Are you Ali Ozluk?
Yes.
Yeah, we don't have this unit anymore.
Wait...wait.
Haleem.
What's wrong?
Thank you.
Please, come in?
They took him to the morgue.
You didn't wait for me?
My dad spoke with them.
I don't know.
They're inside now.
My condolences.
Thank you.
My condolences.
May this be your last sorrow.
My condolences.
Thank you, Kaldi.
Oh, brother.
My brother.
May God give you strength.
Thank you.
Please, come in.
I'm your sacrifice. (Term of endearment)
My dear.
Thank you.
Thank you.
May God give you strength.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Where's your husband?
On the balcony.
My condolences.
Welcome.
He left us.
He's gone.
He's gone.
Come sit down, dear.
Come.
Come.
Come here, dear...come.
Come, my darling.
Come, my daughter.
Come sit here.
Don't cry, my daughter.
Just stop it already.
Don't hurt yourself.
A dead person can't come back to life.
And you, stop crying now.
Everyone goes when their time comes.
Do people ask your permission to die?
She's at peace.
God bless her soul.
My dear mother.
Mom.
When did this happen?
When did she pass away?
I came at 11:00.
There was a smell.
I thought she'd soiled herself again.
I went and saw her lying in that corner.
I called her name, Sekineh, Sekineh.
She didn't answer.
I went to her side and saw she was dead.
Then I called Kamal to tell his mom.
I called Maryam to come.
To do whatever was needed.
And then?
When did you leave the house?
I came, and she was dead.
I'm saying, how much was my mom alone at home?
That's what I'm asking.
I left the house around 6:00 AM.
Why didn't you wait for me?
Why should we have waited for you?
What would you have done?
Brought the dead back to life?
What does that have to do with it?
She was my mother.
Speak quietly.
Who said she's not your mother?
Amir.
How many times have I told you not to use that cane?
You'll break your head.
Why didn't you call me?
You called everyone.
Maryam, Kamal.
Maryam lives an hour and a half away.
Why didn't you call me?
I called you several times,
but you didn't answer.
I'm saying, she'd soiled herself.
Do you understand?
Dad, please stop it, for God's sake.
I called Maryam to come and clean her up,
so they wouldn't take her away like that.
Was I wrong?
If it was your mother,
she was my wife for fifty years.
Don't say "my wife," say "my cow."
Don't be rude.
Don't talk to me like that.
Brother, please calm down.
You're the only son in the family, too.
See what he's saying?
When did you call?
When did you check in?
Don't make me open my mouth.
Dad, please.
Bro, chill out already.
He doesn't call, doesn't check up,
and now he's interrogating me.
Suddenly, he's all "Mommy, Mommy."
Hamid, calm down a bit.
He's been in America for fourteen years.
I don't know what the hell he's doing.
Look at the state of us.
Do you talk like that over a dead person?
He even respects the dead.
Please, calm down.
What did I do that God gave me a child like this?
What sin did I commit?
Come, get in bed.
Get up.
I wish I had never come here.
Hello.
Hello.
Brother.
I left the village two and a half hours ago.
My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth.
Do you have any cold water or something?
Do you?
It's locked, don't worry,
nothing will happen.
Sit, it's cool here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It's a beautiful garden.
This isn't a garden.
There's nothing here.
Is it yours?
Yeah.
Do you have help?
No.
Do you need someone?
Are you looking for work?
Look.
The pipes over there are old.
They need to be replaced.
So the plants get enough water.
I think it's yours up to there.
Yeah.
I thought so.
Well, if it's yours,
you can remove those stones.
And plant new plants there.
Of course, you'll need to add a water pipe.
...You're right, but
I can't hire anyone right now.
Not at all?
How much can you pay?
Three thousand.
Five thousand?
I can't pay five thousand.
I can't do more than three thousand five hundred.
Look, by the time we get it somewhere,
everything will have doubled.
Let's agree on four thousand.
I can't do more than three and a half.
Okay, agreed.
But I'm staying here.
Do you have a spare bed in the house?
Yes, there's a separate space.
Good.
What else can we do?
So, we agreed.
You know about gardens, right?
Meaning you've worked in gardens before?
Of course, I'm more experienced than you.
Do we have to have a job interview
for three thousand?
Yes, of course.
Alright.
Come in, sir.
Do you have children?
Not as far as I know.
You're not into homemade liquor, are you?
On three or four thousand?
Where would I get it?
Where are you from?
Kuzidan.
Kuzidan.
Near Dinla?
Yeah, around there.
You're not afraid of dogs, are you?
You don't have a problem with them?
I have a big dog there.
I see.
I won't kill it.
If it doesn't mess with my work,
I have no problem with it.
Well, everyone messes with everyone.
So, you're angry.
What did you do?
What did I do, brother?
Are you naturally an angry person?
No one is born angry.
I didn't ask your name.
Reza.
I'm Ali.
What's up?
This is Demirjan.
What's up, son?
What's up, son?
What's up?
Come on, come on.
Easy...easy.
Come on, let him sniff you.
You said dog,
this is like a wolf.
It's a wolf breed.
Come on, let him sniff you.
He won't bite you.
Honestly, I don't really need the help.
Someone came by the orchard today.
A stranger?
No, someone from around here.
About our age.
We have an 8 year age difference.
Okay, about my age then.
So?
Did you hire him?
...What can I say?
I don't know what I should do in the end.
Okay, honey.
But you need help.
You can't handle it alone.
Maryam didn't come to the grave today.
Maybe Amin has an exam?
Dad didn't come either.
Do you remember?
Remember when you were in America, and Mom was
hospitalized for two weeks?
Yeah, her heart was sick too.
It wasn't her heart.
One day I had a fight with my sister's husband.
That night I went to Mom and Dad's house.
I don't know what Dad was looking for.
Mom couldn't find it either.
It was lost.
Did Dad just let it go?
He started cursing.
...And then?
He hit her head with his fist.
What?
He hit her several times.
What are you saying, Nasrin?
Mom couldn't walk for two days.
I told Dad
To take her to the doctor.
But they didn't take that poor woman.
I went home
Sat by the window.
Tried to be with her.
Like a poisoned prisoner.
Why didn't you tell me?
So what if I told you?
You'd come back here?
You could've told me after I came back, Nasrin.
Mom made Maryam and me swear not to tell you.
She didn't want her dear son to be upset because of this.
Sadness and sorrow are always for women.
Let's go.
Let's go, it's getting late.
What's wrong?
No.
So let's go then.
Where should we go?
We've been going to the doctor for three years.
Nothing changes.
Ali!
Ali...wait.
Ali...wait.
Please, I can't walk fast.
Why should we fool ourselves for no reason?
What do you want?
You promised.
Does everyone have to know?
Is it obvious what's wrong with you?
Nothing's wrong.
Nothing's wrong with me either.
If we don't go today, the doctor won't give another appointment.
I'll have to chase after it for another three months.
We're going to be late, let's go.
We're not going to have a baby.
Why don't you understand?
You don't understand.
Please.
Okay, I promise it'll be the last doctor.
At least we'll know what our problem is.
What difference does it make?
What do you mean?
It makes a big difference.
Don't I have the right to know?
It's my body.
Don't I have the right to know what my problem is?
What if the problem is with you?
What will you do?
Get a divorce?
What are you saying?
Divorce? What for?
I just want to know the reason.
Well, I'm not even sure I want a baby.
Did you guys become friends?
Our friendship is very old.
I brought you some clothes.
Take a look if you want.
They're my old clothes.
Maybe the sleeves will be too long for you.
It doesn't matter, I'll fold them up.
Thank you.
Are you reading this?
I found it inside.
Do you understand?
More or less.
Did you go to university?
Yes, I did.
I'm a Harvard graduate.
Is that it?
That's all there is in the summer.
It's not possible.
If we want trees for a season,
we need more water.
Where's the well?
Back there.
Let's go see.
How deep is it?
Twenty meters.
It's dry.
How did you know?
The gardens around here dig up to a hundred meters.
There's only fifteen centimeters of water at the bottom.
So, what do they do?
There's something called a deep well.
Deep well?
There's a special drill that breaks the rocks.
They do it with that.
Isn't that illegal?
How did they get permission?
The law is for the poor.
They bribe the well digger.
They go and say they paid for it.
Usually moving drilling rigs requires
a lot of permits.
New drilling needs people.
You have to pay them too.
Technical jobs?
The same for them.
So, we have to bribe everyone.
Well, people are cheap, water is expensive.
Do you want tea?
No.
I heard you're not teaching next semester.
Where did you hear that?
Is it true?
I don't know if it's true or not.
That's the rumor.
So, it might not be true.
Rumors are more believable in this town.
Have you ever lived in another city?
You can leave here.
Was that it?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks for your work.
Welcome, brother.
Thank you.
What's up?
How are you doing?
We're doing okay.
What about you?
I'm going to my orchard.
I said I'd stop by.
You did well.
Is everything alright?
We're getting by, brother.
How is Melaahat doing?
She's with my mother.
But we're good.
Thank you.
She asks about you.
Visit her.
Send her my regards.
God bless you.
I want to ask you something, Kamal.
Ask.
...You...
The night my mom died,
around what time did you leave the house?
...I think...
Uncle Hamid had a few drinks,
then we left.
About forty-five minutes.
Where did you go?
Where did we go?
Brother Esmail dropped me off in front of the coffee shop.
Then he left.
Didn't you ask where he was going?
Thanks for your work.
Thank you.
Who asks their dad where he's going?
But he probably went to a special guest.
Her clothes smelled like perfume.
You were the first one there that night, right?
Yeah, I came.
Uncle called and told me.
I was on my motorcycle.
I got there in five minutes.
What was my mom like when you got there?
She was dead before I got there.
May God have mercy on her soul.
We owed her so much.
Do you think she fell?
Most likely, brother.
Her cane must have slipped.
She was near the kitchen.
Where was the cane?
Near the kitchen.
She was towards the hallway.
What are you trying to figure out?
I think she wanted to go to the outside toilet,
and she fell.
On her face?
She fell on her face.
Why was Dad's hand bandaged that night?
Bandaged?
Thank you.
All the documents are here.
This is also the funeral expense.
All the receipts and invoices are here.
Stay a little longer.
I have class now.
I'm going to be late.
Are the things I bought also there?
I wrote it down.
Not everything has a receipt.
I wrote it down for you.
Where's the death certificate?
Dad has it.
He took it for the funeral arrangements.
He didn't give it to me.
I wish you lived closer to school.
Okay.
I'll take it myself. No problem.
Are you complaining?
What complaint?
What are you doing?
These pipes are a bit old.
I'm replacing them.
Her name is Sekine, last name Ozdoruk.
Her father's name is Medet.
Her mother's name is Elif.
Her national ID number, born in '67.
Serial number zero.
Place of issue.
Republic of Turkey.
How interesting!
Like someone I know.
Cause of death.
Internal cerebral hemorrhage.
Cerebral hemorrhage.
Due to a severe blow to the back of the skull
On the back of her head
When they found Mom,
she was lying face down
...Maybe
She was lying on her back
She tried to get up
Her head was spinning
She fell on her face again
Isn't possible?
It's possible
Maybe
Why aren't you asleep?
Do you even know what time it is?
I was in the garden.
I called you a hundred times
Couldn't you send a message?
My phone died
What do you mean your phone died?
I called Dad, Nasrin, Kamal
Why did you call Dad?
Because I went to the police station
...Hello?
He's here, he's here
He's right here
No.
Nothing happened
He comes and asks why I'm not asleep?
I don't know...I don't know
Sorry for bothering you
at this hour
Sorry
Didn't you quit?
I had one
Gonna give me one too?
Were you serious about not wanting kids?
Do you want to get divorced?
No.
What about you?
You brought up divorce
If my mom were here,
she'd be scolding me right now
She'd say, you think you're not a man
if you don't smoke?
Doctor Cow
Did your mom ever tell stories?
No, she didn't like stories
But she asked a lot of riddles
Come on.
Not the trunk, put it in the back seat
Hurry up
God, God, God
Finish it
Leave it, it's no use
He's terrified. Look at him.
Should I let him go?
Yeah, just do it.
Have you forgotten what you did?
Did you forget you locked the poor woman in the room?
Who said that?
I didn't lock Mom in.
I'm not lying.
I didn't lock your mother up, son.
Son, I'm in pain.
I took your mother to Mecca.
I carried her in a chair with my own hands.
You don't do this to your father.
Just do it, man.
Do it.
You don't do this to your father.
Alright.
Don't, just finish it with a bullet.
Bury him.
Bury him.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
Be quiet.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
Don't whine.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
Isn't this what you wanted?
Just shut up already.
I didn't want to come back.
I didn't want to come back.
I didn't want to come back.
I didn't want to come back.
Wait, wait.
Wait, let me stop the car.
Wait.
Get out!
Get out.
Isn't this what you wanted?
You asked for it!
Look at him.
What have you done to yourself?
Hey!
What's wrong, girl? Where are you going?
I was looking for you.
This early?
It's 9:00.
What happened to your hand?
Nothing.
What happened?
Nothing, I fell.
How did you fall?
Did you see a doctor?
It doesn't need a doctor.
I just fell.
Why did you come here?
What do you want?
Hazer called last night.
We got worried when you didn't answer.
My battery died.
We were working.
6:00 AM?
Yeah, Detective Columbo, 6:00 AM.
Got it?
Poor Hazer puts up with your crap.
Why are you upsetting the girl?
Did she say something?
Did I bother her?
Is the girl crazy?
She packed her things and went to her
mom and dad's first thing this morning.
I didn't answer the phone one night,
and she goes running to her parents.
Stop it already.
You didn't answer the phone all day.
And then you show up bright and early.
Doesn't this girl have a right to know where the hell you were?
Where could I be, Nasrin? Huh?
Don't interfere, her problem is something else.
What's her problem?
Nasrin, don't mess with me, okay?
I have a lot of work to do, get going.
Oh, for crying out loud!
Why don't you see a doctor?
It's nothing, I just fell, Dad.
I'm not talking about your hand.
Why don't you go get tested with Hazer?
Nasrin...
I'll go whenever I want, got it?
Don't interfere.
I didn't interfere.
You're doing it now.
This is interfering! Don't!
Why are you yelling at me?
So, whoever yells the loudest is right?
Am I not even allowed to say two words to you?
You're just like my dad.
Well relocation
Your well is 20 meters deep.
Right?
You opened it from the top?
Yes.
It shouldn't have collapsed.
I swear to God it did collapse.
It collapsed?
Really?
Yes, it collapsed.
I'm not so sure.
Believe it or not, I swear to God it collapsed.
It's the truth.
The truth?
Are you from around here?
Yes.
Then you know if I say the well didn't collapse...
...it didn't collapse.
Even if it did collapse, it's as if it didn't.
You understand what I'm saying?
Yes, I understand.
So?
So, boss, how much would it cost
if my well collapsed?
How many meters of digging is needed?
A hundred meters.
What's with this?
Like Petrov?
God forbid.
Then the Americans come into the garden
and bring freedom and democracy!
Right?
Yeah, really.
Speaking of America,
let's do something else.
Let's calculate it in dollars.
Dollars.
Professor... Professor, excuse me.
I want to go to America for my doctorate.
Could you write me a letter of recommendation?
Okay, I'll come here again tomorrow.
I don't know you well enough
to write you a letter of recommendation.
Well, then don't waste any more time.
Are you busy right now?
Don't you think you're rushing things?
Life is short.
Wait here a minute.
Hello.
Hello.
I came looking for Hamid.
Who are you?
Forgive me.
My name is Parvin.
You don't know me.
Hamid hasn't answered his calls or messages in 10 days.
He wouldn't not answer his phone.
I called everyone I knew.
I went to his house too, but no one was there.
His car isn't there either.
You went to his house?
Do you have his keys?
Hamid gave them to me.
Something must have happened.
Otherwise, he wouldn't leave me in the dark.
Please tell me if you know anything.
How did you find the address?
Your father said you were a university professor.
So I went to the university.
I followed you.
Please, if you know anything, tell me.
Wait a moment.
...You followed me and...
What right did you have to ask my dad about me?
The house whose keys you had...
My mother died in that house a while ago.
Did you know that?
I'm so sorry.
May God rest her soul.
I'm just worried about Hamid.
I've been looking for him for ten days.
You went after her.
Why?
Because she slept with you a few times?
My sister knows me well.
What did you say?
Maryam knows about it.
Then what are you doing here?
Go ask Maryam.
Okay, give me her number, I'll go.
Look lady, don't make me call the police.
Go away and mind your own business.
Hurry up!
Wait!
The keys!
Please say something.
Hello?
Hi, Susan.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
I keep calling my dad, but he's not answering.
Do you have any news?
When was the last time you saw him?
About two weeks ago.
My son, Amin, saw him eleven days ago.
He had taken his car to the repair shop.
What was wrong with his car?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
So, none of the family has seen or spoken
to him in eleven days?
Why didn't you come sooner?
Well, we thought he'd gone to Cyprus again.
He has friends there.
Does he always go without telling anyone?
He used to do that sometimes.
He only went once without telling anyone.
I don't remember anything else.
Is it possible he went to Cyprus again?
He took his car...
He wouldn't go to Cyprus by car.
Write down the model, color, and license plate number of the car.
Excuse me, should I write it here?
Sister, do you remember the license plate number?
No.
Can I give you the license plate number later?
Okay.
You didn't write down a phone number, doesn't he have one?
Well, no one's home.
My dad lived alone.
I'll write it down anyway.
Here you go.
My father lived alone.
Our mother has passed away, sister.
That's why I said that.
Why did you tell the police about that?
Don't drag him into this for no reason.
He's been through enough.
Enough!
How well do you know this woman?
Enough.
Did you know she has a child?
The child isn't from our siblings, understand?
It's from her first marriage.
Why did you bring it up?
Bring what up?
That my father was having an affair with this woman.
That woman has a name.
Parvin.
Dad didn't want anyone to know.
Yeah.
But you knew.
Look, if it wasn't for Parvin, maybe
we wouldn't have even noticed Dad was missing.
Thank God someone cares about him.
Thank God, thank God.
Thank God.
Did Mom know too?
Answer me. Did Mom know?
No.
Why?
She wasn't supposed to know?
You made that decision?
Ever since Dad met Parvin...
He treated Mom nicer.
Please, forget about it, sis.
If your husband was having an affair with another woman...
...would it be enough for him to just be nice to you?
Don't raise your voice at me.
Stop the car, you're being rude.
I'm being rude?
Why?
Because I told the truth?
Because you do whatever you want under the guise of Mom.
What did I do?
What wrong did I do?
Really, you don't have a problem with this man?
...What kind of person...
...punches an old woman
and causes a brain hemorrhage?
That too, twice, twice.
Who told you this?
Nasrin?
Dad was really sorry.
He apologized to Mom.
He begged for forgiveness.
He begged for forgiveness?
From a semi-paralyzed woman who can't go anywhere?
He begged for forgiveness?
The same one who, so his daughter wouldn't take her to the hospital...
...locked her in her room?
I hope he's dead.
I hope he's dead.
It's easy to get angry and pretend
you don't care.
The hard part was living with him.
The reason for this meeting...
...is house number 314 on Kodaman Street.
And another apartment in Adana, Arcade 1717.
My father had a house in Adana too?
He told me something about it,
but I don't know exactly.
Your father put the deeds for both houses
in your mother's name.
Your mother would stay at home.
And collect the apartment's rent.
God forbid, if something happened to your father,
You'd have a way to get by.
Oh, Auntie.
What a model husband he was.
An example for us all.
Be quiet.
What?
I'm saying he's a good man.
He's not a good man?
I told you to be quiet.
When was the deed prepared?
Before going to Hajj.
So, 6 months before.
I'm leaving. You'll be here, right?
Where to?
What does he want to do now?
Where are you going?
At least don't go out of respect for him.
This woman came for us.
She didn't come for us.
She came for her brother.
I want to ask you something,
but answer without getting angry.
Don't make a fuss.
The night Hazer left,
Did you go home at 4:00 in the morning?
Why are you asking?
Where were you that night?
I told you, I was in the garden.
I wonder what you were looking for in the garden?
What do you mean?
What are you asking?
Look at me.
Are you in your right mind, girl?
Do you hear what you're saying?
Did you come for Hamid Ozdeli's case?
Yes.
Come in, please.
What's your relationship with your father like?
Good.
So, a normal father-son relationship.
...Of course, there are disagreements too.
We usually get along well.
What do you disagree about?
It happens in every family,
normal things.
It was usually about my late mother.
How can I explain it to you?
My father isn't a very kind man.
Explain more.
What do you mean by how?
Your dad's car got a ticket
on the 19th at 11:00 PM.
That's the last trace we have of him.
Did you find my father?
Where were you that day?
Are you serious?
What day was it?
Tuesday.
Tuesday?
I was in the garden.
I have a garden outside the city.
When did you get home?
I left around sunset.
It's a 45-minute drive.
I was home around 8-8:30.
Ms. Nasrin says you came home
at 4:00 AM that night.
Nasrin?
She said when I got back?
4:00 AM?
She's mistaken.
I was home by 8-8:30.
What's up?
Want some fresh meat?
I need to tell you something.
I'm listening.
My sperm count is low.
When did you get tested?
I'm not sure.
Wait, Hazer.
Wait.
Look, the police think I have
something to do with my father's disappearance.
They want to know where you were
on the night of July 19th.
Well, where were you?
I told them I came home to you
around 8 PM.
Really?
You know I was in the garden.
No, I don't know.
It's not the first time I've stayed in the garden late.
For a moment, I thought you came because you love me.
I love you.
You're either lying to me or to yourself.
Welcome.
Park right here.
You didn't have a key?
How lucky are we?
Am I lucky with my dad?
Or you with your mom?
Does a low sperm count mean we still have a chance?
No, we don't.
You're pinning your hopes on that small percentage?
Then what am I supposed to hope for?
I want to be able to raise my own child.
...I want to know what kind of person they'll be.
I want to know what kind of mother I'll be.
I want love.
Unconditional love.
Do you know what I mean?
You can use a sperm bank.
But unfortunately, it's not possible in Turkey.
Look, I'm 33 years old.
We really want to have kids.
And we have the means to.
I mean, if there's an illegal way, we'll do it.
I wish I could do something.
We'll pay whatever it costs.
If you don't have financial problems, why don't you consider going abroad?
Didn't your mother leave a will?
So you'll inherit two properties?
And Dad?
We can't sell the house without him.
Your father has a share, but you can sell if you want to.
I won't sell it.
Sit down for a minute.
I won't sell the house until my father comes back.
Don't you understand, Dad is missing?
I won't sell it!
Sit down, sister.
Sit down.
You don't want to sell the new house?
Either of you can file a lawsuit.
In that case, the properties will be sold at auction.
You want to take it to court?
Calm down.
Why don't you wait a bit?
What's the rush?
I need money.
What do you want it for?
You want to pour money into that rotten garden?
...Money.
I need it for infertility treatment.
It's impossible to do anything here.
We have to go abroad.
Good day.
Hello.
We're here to see Melahat.
What's her room number?
One moment, please.
Something bad must have happened to Hamid.
He wouldn't leave without calling me.
God... protect him.
Oh my God.
Hamid is a very good boy.
Once we were going to take a lot of straw to the stable.
Hamid was 12 years old.
A scorpion stung me.
Hamid quickly went and brought a horse.
To take me to the town doctor.
We were on the way when we saw my late father.
He came and said, "What are you doing here?
Go back immediately."
Hamid said, "A scorpion stung him, I have to take him to the doctor."
But he refused.
My father had a stick in his hand.
He threw it at Hamid.
The stick hit his face.
His face and nose were covered in blood.
I said my brother's blind.
That scar he had...
...was it from that time?
He told us he fell off a boat.
He said it like that so he wouldn't
make your grandfather look bad.
My dad hit him.
Hello.
Welcome.
Thank you.
I'm so late, sorry.
It's okay.
Are you okay?
I'm about to give you all your grades.
So you know how generous I am.
Alright, everyone.
Before the end of the semester...
...I want you all...
...to think about the responsibility
of translation one more time.
...If you remember...
...we talked about it at the beginning of the semester.
Meaning and interpretation.
Even our friend Mina...
...brought up an interesting word.
An Arabic word, what did it mean?
Stoning, cursing.
Throwing, killing.
Killing.
Interesting, right?
What does it have to do with Metin's murder?
Maybe there was a murder in Metin's neighborhood.
Hello.
Hello.
...About my father's situation...
...Something happened.
I wanted you to know.
...The police...
...found my father's car behind the dam.
Was it his car?
Yes, I was there too.
It was his car.
They say the driver lost control.
Due to the accident.
The body is lost in the water.
My condolences.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Are you kidding me?
Who is it?
Who is it?
Come on...come on.
Hey.
Hey.
Come on.
Come on... come on.
I said come on.
Come on... come on... come on.
Good job.
Where did you find him?
Right here.
He's so cute, right?
Yeah.
We have a little Demirjan?
Yes.
He loves to play.
Come on.
Come on.
Ouch!
Don't bite, let go.
Six people signed up for your class.
Yes, but 3-4 who failed will be added too.
This class is optional.
Besides, we really have a big budget cut this year.
Professor, please tell me the truth.
Because I'm really worried.
I have to run this place
with a very limited budget.
There are courses that are much harder to continue.
Those aren't literature.
Professor, you say it like literature
is a plague you want to get rid of.
You studied comparative literature, right?
Yes.
Abroad?
Yes.
America.
Why America?
Because they don't have budget problems there
and they don't see literature as a plague.
Don't say that, son.
There are budget cuts everywhere.
Look.
...If you were studying
physics or biology in America...
Then I'd believe it.
But literature!
So you left this land
with Yunus Emre, Haji Bektash...
Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi...
...and went to America to study literature?
...I...
I was a small, delicate child.
...That's why the older kids
would mess with me.
I remember always trying to run away
so they wouldn't corner me.
I would hide.
Especially there was a boy in class
who was constantly after me.
...He would do anything
to get what he wanted.
...Once he beat me so badly
that I remember I couldn't breathe.
...And
...I could never tell my dad these things.
I was probably more scared of my dad than that kid.
Why were you scared of your dad?
I once saw him hit my mom.
...that's why here...
...everything...
...all reminded me of my father.
That's why I went somewhere far away.
So why did you come back?
Because I'm not scared anymore.
Take this, brother.
There's one piece left.
It's passing through there.
Look, all the photos are old.
Do you scan these at the university?
Scan them?
When are the real estate people coming?
I pushed it to tomorrow.
I'm taking the radio.
Does it work?
I don't know.
I'm leaving.
Goodbye.
You're here.
I should go now.
I moved the stuff.
I need to tell you something tonight.
What? Tell me.
Okay, we'll talk tonight.
Why don't you say it?
I'll tell you when you come.
I don't like talking here.
I swear, you're making me worry.
No, man.
Is it that important?
We'll talk tonight.
I gotta go.
Do you want me to come home earlier?
There's no need.
Who is it?
Who is it?
Open up, son, it's me.
I'm very tired.
Turn off the light.
Good morning.
Good morning.
How are you doing?
I saw your dad last night.
Did you wake up startled?
I was at your dad's house.
I was sleeping alone.
Suddenly, someone knocked.
With a very loud sound
Knock, knock, knock.
I jumped up.
I went to the door.
I opened it and saw it was Dad.
...but his face...
I don't know...
...a little...
He said he was tired.
"Move aside, let me come in."
He just passed me by.
He went into the living room
and lay down by the wall.
He said, "I'll sleep here for a bit."
Then he said...
He said, "Turn off the light."
"Turn off the light?"
"Yeah."
I remember it well.
He said, "Turn off the light."
I have no doubt.
Turn off the light.
Get the usual one.
You've gotten it before.
If that's not there, get whatever there is.
Get one.
Why?
Don't get seven or eight?
No.
No, I'm allergic to some of them.
One is enough.
Please put it in a black bag.
Mom, don't rush.
Don't rush, you'll fall.
The machine doesn't work?
Mom?
Welcome home, son.
God bless you, darling.
Are you okay?
Come on in.
That machine still doesn't work?
What does work in this house?
What else doesn't work?
Is Dad not here?
Does a house ever close? (Implying "Does a house ever get fixed?")
Okay, where should I put these?
May God reward you.
Put them in the kitchen cabinet.
Okay.
Don't rush too much, okay?
Mom?
This won't fix it.
The pipes need replacing.
Tell your dad.
Mom?
All the pipes need to be replaced.
It can't stay like this.
I'll call someone tomorrow to take a look.
Come on, let's go wash you.
Nasrin's coming to wash me tomorrow.
Why?
Are you embarrassed of me?
If you really want, cut my nails.
I'll cut your nails too, honey.
Get up.
Come on, let me wash you first.
I'll wash myself.
Please, Mom.
Go do your work.
Get up, stop bothering me.
Let's go, I'll wash you.
Come on.
I'll do it myself.
Please get up, Mom.
Come on.
Hurry up!
I'll get up myself.
Okay, get up.
Did you become a doctor?
Mom, I'm not a doctor,
but I know a few things.
Even a veterinarian is still a doctor.
I promise I won't bother you.
Don't worry.
You've gone to a lot of trouble, God bless you.
I would have washed myself.
What trouble?
What do you want me to get?
I'll take you to physical therapy, okay?
Why?
It's no use.
Mom, please don't start.
You haven't gone at all this month.
These legs won't get better with that.
Mom, please don't be stubborn.
I really don't want to have this conversation.
Don't you see your legs?
They tangle when you walk?
They'll break.
You'll be bedridden.
It's not a joke.
Okay, she's here.
I'll go now.
Nasrin is coming, she'll take you tomorrow.
Please don't make trouble, okay?
Okay.
Goodbye.
Welcome, son.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
I came to visit Mom.
You didn't have to.
How are you? Are you well?
I'm fine.
The bathroom and toilet need repairs.
The pipes need replacing.
There's nothing wrong with the pipes.
Mom doesn't use the bathroom much.
Nothing will happen, don't worry.
Well, how's she supposed to go to the outhouse with those legs?
What's wrong with walking a bit?
It's good for her.
She can take a few steps, nothing will happen.
Did you see this?
How is she supposed to use it?
If you want to go to Adana, tell me.
I'll get someone to fix it.
No need, I'll fix it myself.
If you were going to fix it, you would have done it by now.
Why are you doing this, I don't understand?
I want to pay for it.
Why are you upset?
Take your money and buy yourself some pants.
Got it?
This is my house,
Mom.
I'll do whatever I want.
Son, go.
God be with you.
See what kind of child you raised?
Look.
He's just like his brainless brothers.
Don't insult them.
Leave them alone.
Okay, come on, let's go.
Come on.
Good job, good job.
Good job, smart boy.
Take it.
Good job.
Good job, son.
I'll be back, okay?
Okay.
You can go inside.
These have been thoroughly checked.
No need for retesting?
We tested twice.
Both tests show low sperm count and
low motility, unfortunately.
So, there's no hope?
Hope for what?
To become a father?
Or to become a biological father?
Welcome.
Thank you.
Did the maternity clinic call today?
No.
The results should have arrived today.
I should bring Mom to live with us.
Your dad won't allow it.
I need to sit down and talk to him.
Maybe he'll agree.
Okay.
Be patient.
It's not exactly comfortable here either.
It would be much easier if we had an elevator.
At least they have a yard there.
She's happy with her flowers and plants.
Translation.
It's actually a Latin word.
It comes from "translate".
...Trans...
That was good.
We said it comes from "translatus"... Trans...
...Latus.
It's made up of these words.
What does "trans" mean?
Beyond.
Further.
What does "lato" mean?
Transferred.
What is it originally?
Taking something from one place
and moving it to another.
...Just...
When we examine the root of the word "translation,"
which came from Arabic to Turkish,
We come to the word "Targumnu" in Akkadian.
What does "Targuman" mean?
It means explaining,
interpreting.
The work that a translator does.
Instead of just transferring words,
they interpret it.
...For example...
When I was in America,
They used to say I was brown.
Now, if I wanted to translate that into Turkish the same way,
I'd have to say "rengi kahverengi" (brown color).
Right?
Looks like you're not paying attention.
Sorry, Professor.
What were we talking about?
About translation...?
What were we talking about?
Don't you know it's forbidden to bring your phone to class?
You talked about the root of the word "translation."
You examined the Latin and Akkadian roots
but didn't get to the Arabic root.
What was the Arabic root?
The Arabic root must be "Rajm."
What does "Rajm" mean?
Stoning?
Cursing, throwing, killing,
right?
What does this have to do with our topic?
If you play with your phone in class one more time,
I'm kicking you out.
Sorry, Professor.
Don't start again, please.
Damn machine.
Just work once, will you?
Work!
Is that how it works?
Professor, it's not working.
How can that be?
We've been working with it for years.
Maybe it's not feeling well today.
Maybe it needs a rest.
Oh my God.
I have a point to make to you.
I'll show you.
I seek refuge in God from Satan, the outcast.
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Thank you.
Alright.
...Professor.
I teach English translation part-time.
I heard we won't have this course next semester.
Are you Ali Ozluk?
Yes.
Yeah, we don't have this unit anymore.
Wait...wait.
Haleem.
What's wrong?
Thank you.
Please, come in?
They took him to the morgue.
You didn't wait for me?
My dad spoke with them.
I don't know.
They're inside now.
My condolences.
Thank you.
My condolences.
May this be your last sorrow.
My condolences.
Thank you, Kaldi.
Oh, brother.
My brother.
May God give you strength.
Thank you.
Please, come in.
I'm your sacrifice. (Term of endearment)
My dear.
Thank you.
Thank you.
May God give you strength.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Where's your husband?
On the balcony.
My condolences.
Welcome.
He left us.
He's gone.
He's gone.
Come sit down, dear.
Come.
Come.
Come here, dear...come.
Come, my darling.
Come, my daughter.
Come sit here.
Don't cry, my daughter.
Just stop it already.
Don't hurt yourself.
A dead person can't come back to life.
And you, stop crying now.
Everyone goes when their time comes.
Do people ask your permission to die?
She's at peace.
God bless her soul.
My dear mother.
Mom.
When did this happen?
When did she pass away?
I came at 11:00.
There was a smell.
I thought she'd soiled herself again.
I went and saw her lying in that corner.
I called her name, Sekineh, Sekineh.
She didn't answer.
I went to her side and saw she was dead.
Then I called Kamal to tell his mom.
I called Maryam to come.
To do whatever was needed.
And then?
When did you leave the house?
I came, and she was dead.
I'm saying, how much was my mom alone at home?
That's what I'm asking.
I left the house around 6:00 AM.
Why didn't you wait for me?
Why should we have waited for you?
What would you have done?
Brought the dead back to life?
What does that have to do with it?
She was my mother.
Speak quietly.
Who said she's not your mother?
Amir.
How many times have I told you not to use that cane?
You'll break your head.
Why didn't you call me?
You called everyone.
Maryam, Kamal.
Maryam lives an hour and a half away.
Why didn't you call me?
I called you several times,
but you didn't answer.
I'm saying, she'd soiled herself.
Do you understand?
Dad, please stop it, for God's sake.
I called Maryam to come and clean her up,
so they wouldn't take her away like that.
Was I wrong?
If it was your mother,
she was my wife for fifty years.
Don't say "my wife," say "my cow."
Don't be rude.
Don't talk to me like that.
Brother, please calm down.
You're the only son in the family, too.
See what he's saying?
When did you call?
When did you check in?
Don't make me open my mouth.
Dad, please.
Bro, chill out already.
He doesn't call, doesn't check up,
and now he's interrogating me.
Suddenly, he's all "Mommy, Mommy."
Hamid, calm down a bit.
He's been in America for fourteen years.
I don't know what the hell he's doing.
Look at the state of us.
Do you talk like that over a dead person?
He even respects the dead.
Please, calm down.
What did I do that God gave me a child like this?
What sin did I commit?
Come, get in bed.
Get up.
I wish I had never come here.
Hello.
Hello.
Brother.
I left the village two and a half hours ago.
My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth.
Do you have any cold water or something?
Do you?
It's locked, don't worry,
nothing will happen.
Sit, it's cool here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It's a beautiful garden.
This isn't a garden.
There's nothing here.
Is it yours?
Yeah.
Do you have help?
No.
Do you need someone?
Are you looking for work?
Look.
The pipes over there are old.
They need to be replaced.
So the plants get enough water.
I think it's yours up to there.
Yeah.
I thought so.
Well, if it's yours,
you can remove those stones.
And plant new plants there.
Of course, you'll need to add a water pipe.
...You're right, but
I can't hire anyone right now.
Not at all?
How much can you pay?
Three thousand.
Five thousand?
I can't pay five thousand.
I can't do more than three thousand five hundred.
Look, by the time we get it somewhere,
everything will have doubled.
Let's agree on four thousand.
I can't do more than three and a half.
Okay, agreed.
But I'm staying here.
Do you have a spare bed in the house?
Yes, there's a separate space.
Good.
What else can we do?
So, we agreed.
You know about gardens, right?
Meaning you've worked in gardens before?
Of course, I'm more experienced than you.
Do we have to have a job interview
for three thousand?
Yes, of course.
Alright.
Come in, sir.
Do you have children?
Not as far as I know.
You're not into homemade liquor, are you?
On three or four thousand?
Where would I get it?
Where are you from?
Kuzidan.
Kuzidan.
Near Dinla?
Yeah, around there.
You're not afraid of dogs, are you?
You don't have a problem with them?
I have a big dog there.
I see.
I won't kill it.
If it doesn't mess with my work,
I have no problem with it.
Well, everyone messes with everyone.
So, you're angry.
What did you do?
What did I do, brother?
Are you naturally an angry person?
No one is born angry.
I didn't ask your name.
Reza.
I'm Ali.
What's up?
This is Demirjan.
What's up, son?
What's up, son?
What's up?
Come on, come on.
Easy...easy.
Come on, let him sniff you.
You said dog,
this is like a wolf.
It's a wolf breed.
Come on, let him sniff you.
He won't bite you.
Honestly, I don't really need the help.
Someone came by the orchard today.
A stranger?
No, someone from around here.
About our age.
We have an 8 year age difference.
Okay, about my age then.
So?
Did you hire him?
...What can I say?
I don't know what I should do in the end.
Okay, honey.
But you need help.
You can't handle it alone.
Maryam didn't come to the grave today.
Maybe Amin has an exam?
Dad didn't come either.
Do you remember?
Remember when you were in America, and Mom was
hospitalized for two weeks?
Yeah, her heart was sick too.
It wasn't her heart.
One day I had a fight with my sister's husband.
That night I went to Mom and Dad's house.
I don't know what Dad was looking for.
Mom couldn't find it either.
It was lost.
Did Dad just let it go?
He started cursing.
...And then?
He hit her head with his fist.
What?
He hit her several times.
What are you saying, Nasrin?
Mom couldn't walk for two days.
I told Dad
To take her to the doctor.
But they didn't take that poor woman.
I went home
Sat by the window.
Tried to be with her.
Like a poisoned prisoner.
Why didn't you tell me?
So what if I told you?
You'd come back here?
You could've told me after I came back, Nasrin.
Mom made Maryam and me swear not to tell you.
She didn't want her dear son to be upset because of this.
Sadness and sorrow are always for women.
Let's go.
Let's go, it's getting late.
What's wrong?
No.
So let's go then.
Where should we go?
We've been going to the doctor for three years.
Nothing changes.
Ali!
Ali...wait.
Ali...wait.
Please, I can't walk fast.
Why should we fool ourselves for no reason?
What do you want?
You promised.
Does everyone have to know?
Is it obvious what's wrong with you?
Nothing's wrong.
Nothing's wrong with me either.
If we don't go today, the doctor won't give another appointment.
I'll have to chase after it for another three months.
We're going to be late, let's go.
We're not going to have a baby.
Why don't you understand?
You don't understand.
Please.
Okay, I promise it'll be the last doctor.
At least we'll know what our problem is.
What difference does it make?
What do you mean?
It makes a big difference.
Don't I have the right to know?
It's my body.
Don't I have the right to know what my problem is?
What if the problem is with you?
What will you do?
Get a divorce?
What are you saying?
Divorce? What for?
I just want to know the reason.
Well, I'm not even sure I want a baby.
Did you guys become friends?
Our friendship is very old.
I brought you some clothes.
Take a look if you want.
They're my old clothes.
Maybe the sleeves will be too long for you.
It doesn't matter, I'll fold them up.
Thank you.
Are you reading this?
I found it inside.
Do you understand?
More or less.
Did you go to university?
Yes, I did.
I'm a Harvard graduate.
Is that it?
That's all there is in the summer.
It's not possible.
If we want trees for a season,
we need more water.
Where's the well?
Back there.
Let's go see.
How deep is it?
Twenty meters.
It's dry.
How did you know?
The gardens around here dig up to a hundred meters.
There's only fifteen centimeters of water at the bottom.
So, what do they do?
There's something called a deep well.
Deep well?
There's a special drill that breaks the rocks.
They do it with that.
Isn't that illegal?
How did they get permission?
The law is for the poor.
They bribe the well digger.
They go and say they paid for it.
Usually moving drilling rigs requires
a lot of permits.
New drilling needs people.
You have to pay them too.
Technical jobs?
The same for them.
So, we have to bribe everyone.
Well, people are cheap, water is expensive.
Do you want tea?
No.
I heard you're not teaching next semester.
Where did you hear that?
Is it true?
I don't know if it's true or not.
That's the rumor.
So, it might not be true.
Rumors are more believable in this town.
Have you ever lived in another city?
You can leave here.
Was that it?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks for your work.
Welcome, brother.
Thank you.
What's up?
How are you doing?
We're doing okay.
What about you?
I'm going to my orchard.
I said I'd stop by.
You did well.
Is everything alright?
We're getting by, brother.
How is Melaahat doing?
She's with my mother.
But we're good.
Thank you.
She asks about you.
Visit her.
Send her my regards.
God bless you.
I want to ask you something, Kamal.
Ask.
...You...
The night my mom died,
around what time did you leave the house?
...I think...
Uncle Hamid had a few drinks,
then we left.
About forty-five minutes.
Where did you go?
Where did we go?
Brother Esmail dropped me off in front of the coffee shop.
Then he left.
Didn't you ask where he was going?
Thanks for your work.
Thank you.
Who asks their dad where he's going?
But he probably went to a special guest.
Her clothes smelled like perfume.
You were the first one there that night, right?
Yeah, I came.
Uncle called and told me.
I was on my motorcycle.
I got there in five minutes.
What was my mom like when you got there?
She was dead before I got there.
May God have mercy on her soul.
We owed her so much.
Do you think she fell?
Most likely, brother.
Her cane must have slipped.
She was near the kitchen.
Where was the cane?
Near the kitchen.
She was towards the hallway.
What are you trying to figure out?
I think she wanted to go to the outside toilet,
and she fell.
On her face?
She fell on her face.
Why was Dad's hand bandaged that night?
Bandaged?
Thank you.
All the documents are here.
This is also the funeral expense.
All the receipts and invoices are here.
Stay a little longer.
I have class now.
I'm going to be late.
Are the things I bought also there?
I wrote it down.
Not everything has a receipt.
I wrote it down for you.
Where's the death certificate?
Dad has it.
He took it for the funeral arrangements.
He didn't give it to me.
I wish you lived closer to school.
Okay.
I'll take it myself. No problem.
Are you complaining?
What complaint?
What are you doing?
These pipes are a bit old.
I'm replacing them.
Her name is Sekine, last name Ozdoruk.
Her father's name is Medet.
Her mother's name is Elif.
Her national ID number, born in '67.
Serial number zero.
Place of issue.
Republic of Turkey.
How interesting!
Like someone I know.
Cause of death.
Internal cerebral hemorrhage.
Cerebral hemorrhage.
Due to a severe blow to the back of the skull
On the back of her head
When they found Mom,
she was lying face down
...Maybe
She was lying on her back
She tried to get up
Her head was spinning
She fell on her face again
Isn't possible?
It's possible
Maybe
Why aren't you asleep?
Do you even know what time it is?
I was in the garden.
I called you a hundred times
Couldn't you send a message?
My phone died
What do you mean your phone died?
I called Dad, Nasrin, Kamal
Why did you call Dad?
Because I went to the police station
...Hello?
He's here, he's here
He's right here
No.
Nothing happened
He comes and asks why I'm not asleep?
I don't know...I don't know
Sorry for bothering you
at this hour
Sorry
Didn't you quit?
I had one
Gonna give me one too?
Were you serious about not wanting kids?
Do you want to get divorced?
No.
What about you?
You brought up divorce
If my mom were here,
she'd be scolding me right now
She'd say, you think you're not a man
if you don't smoke?
Doctor Cow
Did your mom ever tell stories?
No, she didn't like stories
But she asked a lot of riddles
Come on.
Not the trunk, put it in the back seat
Hurry up
God, God, God
Finish it
Leave it, it's no use
He's terrified. Look at him.
Should I let him go?
Yeah, just do it.
Have you forgotten what you did?
Did you forget you locked the poor woman in the room?
Who said that?
I didn't lock Mom in.
I'm not lying.
I didn't lock your mother up, son.
Son, I'm in pain.
I took your mother to Mecca.
I carried her in a chair with my own hands.
You don't do this to your father.
Just do it, man.
Do it.
You don't do this to your father.
Alright.
Don't, just finish it with a bullet.
Bury him.
Bury him.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
Be quiet.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
Don't whine.
I wasn't supposed to come back.
Isn't this what you wanted?
Just shut up already.
I didn't want to come back.
I didn't want to come back.
I didn't want to come back.
I didn't want to come back.
Wait, wait.
Wait, let me stop the car.
Wait.
Get out!
Get out.
Isn't this what you wanted?
You asked for it!
Look at him.
What have you done to yourself?
Hey!
What's wrong, girl? Where are you going?
I was looking for you.
This early?
It's 9:00.
What happened to your hand?
Nothing.
What happened?
Nothing, I fell.
How did you fall?
Did you see a doctor?
It doesn't need a doctor.
I just fell.
Why did you come here?
What do you want?
Hazer called last night.
We got worried when you didn't answer.
My battery died.
We were working.
6:00 AM?
Yeah, Detective Columbo, 6:00 AM.
Got it?
Poor Hazer puts up with your crap.
Why are you upsetting the girl?
Did she say something?
Did I bother her?
Is the girl crazy?
She packed her things and went to her
mom and dad's first thing this morning.
I didn't answer the phone one night,
and she goes running to her parents.
Stop it already.
You didn't answer the phone all day.
And then you show up bright and early.
Doesn't this girl have a right to know where the hell you were?
Where could I be, Nasrin? Huh?
Don't interfere, her problem is something else.
What's her problem?
Nasrin, don't mess with me, okay?
I have a lot of work to do, get going.
Oh, for crying out loud!
Why don't you see a doctor?
It's nothing, I just fell, Dad.
I'm not talking about your hand.
Why don't you go get tested with Hazer?
Nasrin...
I'll go whenever I want, got it?
Don't interfere.
I didn't interfere.
You're doing it now.
This is interfering! Don't!
Why are you yelling at me?
So, whoever yells the loudest is right?
Am I not even allowed to say two words to you?
You're just like my dad.
Well relocation
Your well is 20 meters deep.
Right?
You opened it from the top?
Yes.
It shouldn't have collapsed.
I swear to God it did collapse.
It collapsed?
Really?
Yes, it collapsed.
I'm not so sure.
Believe it or not, I swear to God it collapsed.
It's the truth.
The truth?
Are you from around here?
Yes.
Then you know if I say the well didn't collapse...
...it didn't collapse.
Even if it did collapse, it's as if it didn't.
You understand what I'm saying?
Yes, I understand.
So?
So, boss, how much would it cost
if my well collapsed?
How many meters of digging is needed?
A hundred meters.
What's with this?
Like Petrov?
God forbid.
Then the Americans come into the garden
and bring freedom and democracy!
Right?
Yeah, really.
Speaking of America,
let's do something else.
Let's calculate it in dollars.
Dollars.
Professor... Professor, excuse me.
I want to go to America for my doctorate.
Could you write me a letter of recommendation?
Okay, I'll come here again tomorrow.
I don't know you well enough
to write you a letter of recommendation.
Well, then don't waste any more time.
Are you busy right now?
Don't you think you're rushing things?
Life is short.
Wait here a minute.
Hello.
Hello.
I came looking for Hamid.
Who are you?
Forgive me.
My name is Parvin.
You don't know me.
Hamid hasn't answered his calls or messages in 10 days.
He wouldn't not answer his phone.
I called everyone I knew.
I went to his house too, but no one was there.
His car isn't there either.
You went to his house?
Do you have his keys?
Hamid gave them to me.
Something must have happened.
Otherwise, he wouldn't leave me in the dark.
Please tell me if you know anything.
How did you find the address?
Your father said you were a university professor.
So I went to the university.
I followed you.
Please, if you know anything, tell me.
Wait a moment.
...You followed me and...
What right did you have to ask my dad about me?
The house whose keys you had...
My mother died in that house a while ago.
Did you know that?
I'm so sorry.
May God rest her soul.
I'm just worried about Hamid.
I've been looking for him for ten days.
You went after her.
Why?
Because she slept with you a few times?
My sister knows me well.
What did you say?
Maryam knows about it.
Then what are you doing here?
Go ask Maryam.
Okay, give me her number, I'll go.
Look lady, don't make me call the police.
Go away and mind your own business.
Hurry up!
Wait!
The keys!
Please say something.
Hello?
Hi, Susan.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
I keep calling my dad, but he's not answering.
Do you have any news?
When was the last time you saw him?
About two weeks ago.
My son, Amin, saw him eleven days ago.
He had taken his car to the repair shop.
What was wrong with his car?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
So, none of the family has seen or spoken
to him in eleven days?
Why didn't you come sooner?
Well, we thought he'd gone to Cyprus again.
He has friends there.
Does he always go without telling anyone?
He used to do that sometimes.
He only went once without telling anyone.
I don't remember anything else.
Is it possible he went to Cyprus again?
He took his car...
He wouldn't go to Cyprus by car.
Write down the model, color, and license plate number of the car.
Excuse me, should I write it here?
Sister, do you remember the license plate number?
No.
Can I give you the license plate number later?
Okay.
You didn't write down a phone number, doesn't he have one?
Well, no one's home.
My dad lived alone.
I'll write it down anyway.
Here you go.
My father lived alone.
Our mother has passed away, sister.
That's why I said that.
Why did you tell the police about that?
Don't drag him into this for no reason.
He's been through enough.
Enough!
How well do you know this woman?
Enough.
Did you know she has a child?
The child isn't from our siblings, understand?
It's from her first marriage.
Why did you bring it up?
Bring what up?
That my father was having an affair with this woman.
That woman has a name.
Parvin.
Dad didn't want anyone to know.
Yeah.
But you knew.
Look, if it wasn't for Parvin, maybe
we wouldn't have even noticed Dad was missing.
Thank God someone cares about him.
Thank God, thank God.
Thank God.
Did Mom know too?
Answer me. Did Mom know?
No.
Why?
She wasn't supposed to know?
You made that decision?
Ever since Dad met Parvin...
He treated Mom nicer.
Please, forget about it, sis.
If your husband was having an affair with another woman...
...would it be enough for him to just be nice to you?
Don't raise your voice at me.
Stop the car, you're being rude.
I'm being rude?
Why?
Because I told the truth?
Because you do whatever you want under the guise of Mom.
What did I do?
What wrong did I do?
Really, you don't have a problem with this man?
...What kind of person...
...punches an old woman
and causes a brain hemorrhage?
That too, twice, twice.
Who told you this?
Nasrin?
Dad was really sorry.
He apologized to Mom.
He begged for forgiveness.
He begged for forgiveness?
From a semi-paralyzed woman who can't go anywhere?
He begged for forgiveness?
The same one who, so his daughter wouldn't take her to the hospital...
...locked her in her room?
I hope he's dead.
I hope he's dead.
It's easy to get angry and pretend
you don't care.
The hard part was living with him.
The reason for this meeting...
...is house number 314 on Kodaman Street.
And another apartment in Adana, Arcade 1717.
My father had a house in Adana too?
He told me something about it,
but I don't know exactly.
Your father put the deeds for both houses
in your mother's name.
Your mother would stay at home.
And collect the apartment's rent.
God forbid, if something happened to your father,
You'd have a way to get by.
Oh, Auntie.
What a model husband he was.
An example for us all.
Be quiet.
What?
I'm saying he's a good man.
He's not a good man?
I told you to be quiet.
When was the deed prepared?
Before going to Hajj.
So, 6 months before.
I'm leaving. You'll be here, right?
Where to?
What does he want to do now?
Where are you going?
At least don't go out of respect for him.
This woman came for us.
She didn't come for us.
She came for her brother.
I want to ask you something,
but answer without getting angry.
Don't make a fuss.
The night Hazer left,
Did you go home at 4:00 in the morning?
Why are you asking?
Where were you that night?
I told you, I was in the garden.
I wonder what you were looking for in the garden?
What do you mean?
What are you asking?
Look at me.
Are you in your right mind, girl?
Do you hear what you're saying?
Did you come for Hamid Ozdeli's case?
Yes.
Come in, please.
What's your relationship with your father like?
Good.
So, a normal father-son relationship.
...Of course, there are disagreements too.
We usually get along well.
What do you disagree about?
It happens in every family,
normal things.
It was usually about my late mother.
How can I explain it to you?
My father isn't a very kind man.
Explain more.
What do you mean by how?
Your dad's car got a ticket
on the 19th at 11:00 PM.
That's the last trace we have of him.
Did you find my father?
Where were you that day?
Are you serious?
What day was it?
Tuesday.
Tuesday?
I was in the garden.
I have a garden outside the city.
When did you get home?
I left around sunset.
It's a 45-minute drive.
I was home around 8-8:30.
Ms. Nasrin says you came home
at 4:00 AM that night.
Nasrin?
She said when I got back?
4:00 AM?
She's mistaken.
I was home by 8-8:30.
What's up?
Want some fresh meat?
I need to tell you something.
I'm listening.
My sperm count is low.
When did you get tested?
I'm not sure.
Wait, Hazer.
Wait.
Look, the police think I have
something to do with my father's disappearance.
They want to know where you were
on the night of July 19th.
Well, where were you?
I told them I came home to you
around 8 PM.
Really?
You know I was in the garden.
No, I don't know.
It's not the first time I've stayed in the garden late.
For a moment, I thought you came because you love me.
I love you.
You're either lying to me or to yourself.
Welcome.
Park right here.
You didn't have a key?
How lucky are we?
Am I lucky with my dad?
Or you with your mom?
Does a low sperm count mean we still have a chance?
No, we don't.
You're pinning your hopes on that small percentage?
Then what am I supposed to hope for?
I want to be able to raise my own child.
...I want to know what kind of person they'll be.
I want to know what kind of mother I'll be.
I want love.
Unconditional love.
Do you know what I mean?
You can use a sperm bank.
But unfortunately, it's not possible in Turkey.
Look, I'm 33 years old.
We really want to have kids.
And we have the means to.
I mean, if there's an illegal way, we'll do it.
I wish I could do something.
We'll pay whatever it costs.
If you don't have financial problems, why don't you consider going abroad?
Didn't your mother leave a will?
So you'll inherit two properties?
And Dad?
We can't sell the house without him.
Your father has a share, but you can sell if you want to.
I won't sell it.
Sit down for a minute.
I won't sell the house until my father comes back.
Don't you understand, Dad is missing?
I won't sell it!
Sit down, sister.
Sit down.
You don't want to sell the new house?
Either of you can file a lawsuit.
In that case, the properties will be sold at auction.
You want to take it to court?
Calm down.
Why don't you wait a bit?
What's the rush?
I need money.
What do you want it for?
You want to pour money into that rotten garden?
...Money.
I need it for infertility treatment.
It's impossible to do anything here.
We have to go abroad.
Good day.
Hello.
We're here to see Melahat.
What's her room number?
One moment, please.
Something bad must have happened to Hamid.
He wouldn't leave without calling me.
God... protect him.
Oh my God.
Hamid is a very good boy.
Once we were going to take a lot of straw to the stable.
Hamid was 12 years old.
A scorpion stung me.
Hamid quickly went and brought a horse.
To take me to the town doctor.
We were on the way when we saw my late father.
He came and said, "What are you doing here?
Go back immediately."
Hamid said, "A scorpion stung him, I have to take him to the doctor."
But he refused.
My father had a stick in his hand.
He threw it at Hamid.
The stick hit his face.
His face and nose were covered in blood.
I said my brother's blind.
That scar he had...
...was it from that time?
He told us he fell off a boat.
He said it like that so he wouldn't
make your grandfather look bad.
My dad hit him.
Hello.
Welcome.
Thank you.
I'm so late, sorry.
It's okay.
Are you okay?
I'm about to give you all your grades.
So you know how generous I am.
Alright, everyone.
Before the end of the semester...
...I want you all...
...to think about the responsibility
of translation one more time.
...If you remember...
...we talked about it at the beginning of the semester.
Meaning and interpretation.
Even our friend Mina...
...brought up an interesting word.
An Arabic word, what did it mean?
Stoning, cursing.
Throwing, killing.
Killing.
Interesting, right?
What does it have to do with Metin's murder?
Maybe there was a murder in Metin's neighborhood.
Hello.
Hello.
...About my father's situation...
...Something happened.
I wanted you to know.
...The police...
...found my father's car behind the dam.
Was it his car?
Yes, I was there too.
It was his car.
They say the driver lost control.
Due to the accident.
The body is lost in the water.
My condolences.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Are you kidding me?
Who is it?
Who is it?
Come on...come on.
Hey.
Hey.
Come on.
Come on... come on.
I said come on.
Come on... come on... come on.
Good job.
Where did you find him?
Right here.
He's so cute, right?
Yeah.
We have a little Demirjan?
Yes.
He loves to play.
Come on.
Come on.
Ouch!
Don't bite, let go.
Six people signed up for your class.
Yes, but 3-4 who failed will be added too.
This class is optional.
Besides, we really have a big budget cut this year.
Professor, please tell me the truth.
Because I'm really worried.
I have to run this place
with a very limited budget.
There are courses that are much harder to continue.
Those aren't literature.
Professor, you say it like literature
is a plague you want to get rid of.
You studied comparative literature, right?
Yes.
Abroad?
Yes.
America.
Why America?
Because they don't have budget problems there
and they don't see literature as a plague.
Don't say that, son.
There are budget cuts everywhere.
Look.
...If you were studying
physics or biology in America...
Then I'd believe it.
But literature!
So you left this land
with Yunus Emre, Haji Bektash...
Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi...
...and went to America to study literature?
...I...
I was a small, delicate child.
...That's why the older kids
would mess with me.
I remember always trying to run away
so they wouldn't corner me.
I would hide.
Especially there was a boy in class
who was constantly after me.
...He would do anything
to get what he wanted.
...Once he beat me so badly
that I remember I couldn't breathe.
...And
...I could never tell my dad these things.
I was probably more scared of my dad than that kid.
Why were you scared of your dad?
I once saw him hit my mom.
...that's why here...
...everything...
...all reminded me of my father.
That's why I went somewhere far away.
So why did you come back?
Because I'm not scared anymore.
Take this, brother.
There's one piece left.
It's passing through there.
Look, all the photos are old.
Do you scan these at the university?
Scan them?
When are the real estate people coming?
I pushed it to tomorrow.
I'm taking the radio.
Does it work?
I don't know.
I'm leaving.
Goodbye.
You're here.
I should go now.
I moved the stuff.
I need to tell you something tonight.
What? Tell me.
Okay, we'll talk tonight.
Why don't you say it?
I'll tell you when you come.
I don't like talking here.
I swear, you're making me worry.
No, man.
Is it that important?
We'll talk tonight.
I gotta go.
Do you want me to come home earlier?
There's no need.
Who is it?
Who is it?
Open up, son, it's me.
I'm very tired.
Turn off the light.
