GAME OF SILENCE
Birsen?
I am here!
What happened to the lights?
Turn them on.
Where are you? What's going on?
Birsen, is everything okay?
-I am here. -Turn the lights on then!
Birsen, please.
Turn them on.
For God's sake turn the lights on!
Surprise.
Forget it.
Nothing happened. I don't remember anything.
Why did you fucking come home tonight?
Relax, there is nothing to worry.
The doctor said I was fine to be released.
Did you find out who shot me?
Speaking of the devil...
Get over here. Tell me all about it.
His name is Zeki Sinanli.
Who is Zeki Sinanli?
Get up.
-Do you know him? -It rings a bell, but I'm not sure.
-Anyway, who is he? -He is a chauffeur
for that guy you were going to see yesterday, Efraim Bulur.
I know! He won't say a thing.
I saw him at the hospital. His mind is not all there.
He was swearing and saying it had nothing to do with him
and he didn't understand it.
-Carry on, carry on. -Zeki doesn't have anyone.
His parents are dead. He doesn't have a girlfriend, or any friends.
-No relatives either. He's a poor fellow. -We know that dude.
What else did you find out?
Nothing.
Nothing! Dickhead!
Come on, spit it out!
Tell Cebrail to deal with him!
-Cebrail? -What did you expect?
They've shot Irfan's right hand man.
I can't say he's enjoying himself in prison, can I?
Do you want them to come after us, and shoot us in the head?
Is that what you want, motherfucker?
What? Are you going to say something?
-Good evening Mr. Irfan. -Good.
-I hope you feel better soon. -Thank you.
Asshole.
Are you sure it is Cebrail?
Mind your own business! You squeal like a pig!
You got shot like a little girl, and you're still moaning!
But I can smell trouble.
We'll see.
OPEN
Bilal!
What's the matter?
What did you do to your hand?
Did you fight again?
Ecevit hasn't changed a bit, has he?
He is better looking and smarter.
Why has he come back?
What is he going to do here? It's been such a long time.
He just has....
Did something happen? Tell me.
No... He missed us and came by.
-So, is he coming back again? -Why?
-Should he? -I don't care! He can come if he wants to.
If he is going to come, I should tell him.
-Tell him what? -That we're together.
I am sure you haven't told him yet.
You couldn't even look him in the eyes today.
Were you embarrassed?
I've loved you all my life, and have never felt ashamed of it. Were you?
You know I didn't mean it that way.
Ecevit is like my brother, I can't lie to him.
When the right time comes...
...I'll tell him myself.
Okay, come on. Give me your hand.
Well done, big guy!
Don't hurt your hand again.
I am going to become a criminal after seeing so much blood.
What?
Everyone's gone.
I've sent them away.
I am sorry.
I don't want you to be sorry.
What should I do?
Tell me.
There is nothing to say.
Why does this happen, Ecevit?
And this is not the first time.
For no reason, you go mad.
You wake up screaming at night.
You lock yourself inside the bathroom for hours.
What's hurting you?
Nothing.
I have a problem.
I have a big problem.
I am sick of pretending that everything is okay.
You have everything Ecevit.
What else do you want?
Look at me!
Ecevit.
Darling...
Come on, please tell me.
Please tell me.
Who hurt you so much?
Tell me.
The old guy run over by the van survived. He was crippled and we were put in jail.
Dongelli Children's Prison.
We'd heard a lot about it.
Especially about the Head Guard Sait.
Come on, son, come on.
Move, move, move.
Hurry up, this way.
Put your belongings on the table.
CHARLES DICKENS OLIVER TWIST
Empty all your pockets.
There is no room left in other prisons.
They bring all the spoiled brats to me.
Now listen carefully!
If you behave, your punishment will be over soon.
So no crying, no fighting.
No smoking, or falling ill.
Especially, you...
He has asthma. If he doesn't take his medicine--
Shut up!
Don't start cutting your wrists.
You're going to do all the work I'll give you.
You are going to earn what you eat and where you sleep.
You're going to sweep the garden, clean the toilets,
and take out the trash.
If you do all these jobs, we will get along fine.
If you don't...
When you leave, you can take those.
Now go to your cells.
Come on, move, move, move!
Look at the new kids!
-Hope you get out soon! -Come.
These are your beds.
Hope you guys get out soon.
I can't believe how short he is!
Bilal, I am going to speak to them tomorrow,
and get our blankets back and your medicine, okay?
Hey, buddy.
Do you know where I can find a blanket?
-You won't find any. -My friend is really cold.
Can I borrow yours tonight?
I'll give it back to you, and give you mine too.
I can't, Chock will kill me.
If you want something, you have to ask him first.
His name is Irfan.
Are you Irfan?
Chock?
My friend is cold. He needs a blanket.
They told me to ask you.
Hey, can't you hear me?
So you want a blanket?
Irfan. His nickname was Chock.
He was the eldest of the prisoners and a big bully.
Who knows how many times he had served in prison.
Everyone feared him like a god.
My friend is ill, he needs a blan--
Bat!
Bat Ozcan. Irfan's ass-kisser.
They named him Bat, because he didn't sleep at night.
I figured out later why he didn't sleep at night.
What are you doing?
Who do you think you are?
-Ecev-- -Did I ask you for your name?
I don't like names, don't you have a nickname?
Sheriff.
There you go Sheriff.
You can go in the storage room and steal a blanket.
-My friends... -Your friends are here.
Take your friends and go before you get caught.
If you do get caught, Sait will fuck you up,
and I will do the same to your friends.
Stay still!
I am going to sleep. Where is Sait?
He went to bed a while ago. He's sleeping.
You go to sleep too,
-I am going to have a snack. -Okay, thank you.
This is the thief!
Gazanfer, a.k.a. "Butcher". He had a rare illness.
He couldn't feel pain, the heat, or the cold.
He used to chew on his fingers like a cannibal.
And he was a spy.
Come on kid, you go to your bed. Come on.
What did I tell you?
I told you not to leave your cell at night.
Why are you doing this?
I am sorry but the other children forced--
What did I tell you?
-Let go of that blanket! -I won't!
Let go of it!
-Leave the blanket! -I won't!
That first night, when Ecevit slept by himself
in a dirty cell, covered in his own blood, he understood that...
...this was only the beginning.
Sheriff! Sheriff!
Are you there? It's me, Blond.
Where are you?
-Are you okay? -Come over, let me see you.
What kind of place is this, Sheriff?
You are coming back to the cell, aren't you?
I'm coming back. I am fine.
How about you? Come closer. Let me see you.
Who did this to you, who? Come on, tell me who?
That boy called Irfan.
Don't be upset, it only hurt a little.
Honestly.
Hey!
-Are you two making trouble? -Sorry, I was just going back.
Didn't I tell you guys not to leave the cell?
I called him over. Don't touch him! Let him go!
Didn't I tell you not to get up?
-I called him over! -Didn't I tell you? Don't cry!
Ecevit.
Ecevit, my love. Ecevit! My love!
You're scaring me. Are you okay?
I am fine.
It's over.
It isn't over.
I don't know what's happened to you but...
...it isn't over, my love.
I'm gonna get some fresh air.
I knew it.
I was waiting for it. I had put up with more than I could.
Our end was obvious from the start.
Maybe one day, somewhere, maybe in the middle of a street,
or in the arms of the women we love,
or maybe in a hole like this.
Maybe a bullet to the head...
...will be our end.
Four friends...
...like four brothers who grew up together in Kuyudibi.
Years later...
...they are going to call us...
"The Silent Ones".
No one knows now. Only I do.
Because, wherever I go, I see everything.
Yes?
It's me. I am his lawyer, yes.
Come on, faster please!
Come on, faster, faster, faster!
Excuse me, where is the operating room?
This way.
OPERATING ROOM
-Is Zeki Sinanli in surgery? -He's in intensive care.
-You can't pass! -Let me through, I am his lawyer!
Zeki, I am here, brother.
We are going to get out of here together.
Blond, Off-Target,
you and me.
That is why I am not going to say goodbye to you now.
There is still so much to talk about, but I am going to wait till you are free.
I am going to say that I am sorry...
...that I didn't stop them...
...and left you guys.
That I couldn't look you guys in the eye.
But, I never forgot.
I never forgot your last look, brother.
No matter how much I tried, I never forgot.
I will wait, until you are free.
You are going to live. I am here brother.
You are going to live.
Doctor! Zeki, please don't die.
Where is the Doctor?
-Zeki, please don't die! -Sir, please wait outside.
-Outside please! -Zeki! I am right here.
Sheriff, do children go to heaven when they die?
-Don't talk like that. -I am going to die.
Don't be stupid. Our punishment is over. We are getting out tomorrow.
Ozcan won't leave me alone. I am never going to get out of here.
I am going to die here.
I will never leave you here.
Don't leave me here. He is going to kill me.
He can't do anything. We are going back home.
Please, let's go back. I miss my mother.
Look, my drink's almost finished.
Fuck off! We are getting out tomorrow, so leave us alone.
I know, this is the last time I am going to ask him for--
You can't touch this kid anymore. If you do...
You'll have to deal with me.
And me!
You'll regret this.
Is he gone? Am I safe?
What did you think, egghead? Look he's gone!
He was scared of me, wasn't he, Sheriff? He ran away from me!
Of course, man, he was scared to death when he saw you.
Come on, he nearly shit himself when he saw the fork!
You should have hit him like this...
I scared him more.
-Get out of here, he wasn't scared of you. -I scared him more.
Sheriff, Bat told me you ignored him when he asked for your friend?
I don't want you guys near him. We are getting out tomorrow.
Okay then, I won't take you guys away from your friend.
Instead I could take you all.
Let's organize a leaving party for you guys.
-Stop. -Let me go, man!
You're last.
I'll deal with you in person. Everybody get out!
-Stop, I am coming! -Don't go! Stop!
Zeki.
Get your hands off!
Don't go! Stop! Let me go!
Don't go!
Let me go!
Don't go!
Gazanfer.
Let me go!
My leg!
Mr. Sait, Mr. Huseyin, help us!
Mr. Sait, Mr. Huseyin, please help us!
We are getting out tomorrow. Mr. Sait please help us, please!
Please!
So, should we start?
Come on, come on, come on, get up!
Get up! Wash yourselves.
Your parents are waiting outside.
Come on, you're getting out of here!
Listen to me...
...none of this happened.
We never came here.
We never met Irfan...
...Ozcan, Gazanfer...
...or Sait.
What happened last night will be our secret...
...and we are not going to tell anyone. Okay?
We are going to forget it. When we get out of this place,
we are never going to see each other again.
Otherwise we will never forget.
To forget...
...we have to forget each other.
Promise me.
REPUBLIC OF TURKEY ISTANBUL COURTHOUSE
Soon you'll win this century's big case. Are you excited?
When I return this evening, meet me at my place.
Sir!
What's up, Kamil? Are you going to search me?
Sorry, Mr. Ecevit, I didn't recognize you.
The man of the day is here. How are you? Is everything okay?
Why shouldn't it be? Everything is great.
Sermet must be giving you a good commission?
-Wow! -Wish me luck.
As if you really need it.
Ecevit...
Whoever is in the right, shall win.
Don't worry, I will.
Is he here?
He should be.
The attorney's secretary said his meeting was at 9:30 a.m.
A copy of the proceedings should be sent to the other party.
From the prosecutor's office.
No, from the chief public prosecutor's office.
Okay. Say hi to my sister.
I am Ozcan Tiryaki.
I'm here for the meeting regarding the shooting incident.
Yes, Mr. Ozcan. Please sit down.
Would you like a cup of tea?
No. But I would like a bottle of soda water please.
Wow, my favorite!
I really want some. Let me pay for it.
That's the attorney's!
Let me go and give it to him, I'll come and give you some too.
By the time you're back, I'll be too thirsty.
-What am I dealing with! -Husnu...
-Yes. -Are these for the attorney?
-Yes. -Let me take it up.
-You give this guy a drink. -Allow me, Mr. Ecevit.
You are an important lawyer...
No worries, I was going up there anyway. Let me take it.
-You are an ass-kisser. -What kind of a person are you?
-That was disrespectful to Mr. Ecevit. -You have plenty of water over here.
Get out of here!
So, attorney, that was the case, but it's now a different story.
Mr. Irfan said he could be my witness if required.
Come in.
-What's up, lawyer? -I took it off the tea guy,
I was coming here anyway. I didn't want to interrupt.
For the first time in my life, I'll be drinking a cup of tea from a lawyer.
There you go. Take it easy.
Mr. Ecevit, we thought something happened.
-You're always on time. -I am here.
JUSTICE IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE STATE
Is everything okay?
It will be soon. Don't worry, it won't take too long.
Attorney, please don't misunderstand me. I came to see you out of respect.
That is always the case. Look, say hello to Irfan from me,
and tell him to stay out of trouble, or I'll trouble him.
I will. Now excuse me.
The relevant laws in the Turkish Penal Code
shall be considered along with the reasons I have explained
and sentence shall be given according to these laws.
What's up, fella? Did you sort it out?
Of course I did.
Good. Hey, listen; don't take that jacket off.
They might shoot you on the way back.
Don't worry.
Hey, what's going on, man?
What's going on?
-Ozcan? -It is considered by the court.
According to the relevant laws in the Turkish Penal Code...
Do you remember me?
Ozcan?
What's going on over there?
Ozcan?
Not guilty.
There were four of us.
Sheriff, Off-Target, Blond, and me.
Ozcan!
Twenty years ago, they stopped us from breathing.
One had to die, so the rest of us could live.
-Congratulations! -At last, justice has been served.
Ecevit?
I've been looking everywhere for you!
They said you had a hearing, but I made it.
-Did something happen? -No, nothing happened.
-I wanted to talk to you about something. -Okay.
I can't explain how happy I was when I saw you at the shop.
-I was happy too, Ahu. -You came.
Yes, I did.
-I want to ask you for something. -Ask.
Don't ever come back again, okay?
Bilal and I are together.
-Why didn't Bilal tell me? -I am telling you, Ecevit.
I don't know why you came back.
But whatever you came to do...
...don't do it.
Go back just the way you came back into our lives, okay?
Goodbye.
Rest in peace, my friend.
It's all going to be fine, my brother.
Everything went as planned, just like we said. No one followed me.
So what have you decided?
Are we still in, or out?
