GAME OF SILENCE
How does a person know who he is?
What makes him who he is?
His words?
What’s up, dude? Hey, you snagged coffee.
Awesome, let's wake up a bit.
His laugh?
Morning, brother. My mom sent pastries. Come and eat. Dig in, dude!
-Come on. Like it? -His attitude?
I’m not late, am I? You didn’t start without me, I suppose.
What’s up?
So, if even we don’t know who we are, what happens then?
I like rules. Let me sum up if you don’t know,
for the newcomers.
We want retaliation for four guys.
Ozcan, who is now dead, Irfan,
Sait and Gazanfer.
-While doing this-- -Get a ruler too.
While doing this, Blond, we will abide by some rules.
Nothing illegal.
No lying to each other.
No keeping secrets from each other.
We will find out what criminal activities these guys are involved in today,
and get them imprisoned for those crimes.
This is our way.
Irfan is already at the hospital. We don’t know if he will die or what.
If he wakes up he’ll start chasing us.
-Before he wakes up-- -We need to take care of Sait.
Sait's safe box.
It holds the evidence to all the torture he has done over the years.
-The combination to the safe-- -I have a question.
If we do this, how many years does Sait get?
-We have the combination. -But not the safe.
What do we do about that? Enter the prison again?
-Maybe I could go in again-- -Slow down...
We won’t go in, the safe will come out.
-He will wake up, right, Hasan? -Of course, he is Chock Irfan.
A stupid accident isn’t gonna take him down.
All those people chasing him over the years and he survived.
They took him lightly, they thought no one had his back.
They said he’s not even smart, that he’s nothing but a chock.
But that’s where they were wrong. Something in my brother Irfan
will make him live.
What is it?
Sharks have it,
they smell blood you know,
they set out as if they’ve been waiting for that moment for ages.
Not just hunger, you know?
It’s in the animal’s nature.
That’s how he was born,
so hungry, so vengeful, so wild,
so…
-Irfan? -Brother?
-What happened? -Son, this guy isn’t doing well.
Today or tomorrow... God help him.
I thought we’d take him to a hospital. I got his stuff ready.
Groom, we can’t take him to the hospital.
Pardon me?
When Irfan wakes up, he is going to look for the guy who called him.
If he finds him, he will get Huseyin to talk.
What are you talking about? The man is dying, son.
-I can’t risk it, Groom. -Ecevit.
I can’t, please understand, this is just the beginning. I can't risk it.
I will call a new doctor, I’ll do whatever I can,
but I can't allow him to get out of here.
-You have no mercy. -Don’t say that.
You already lost it.
Is this how I raised you?
Is this who you are now? Is this the kind of man you will be?
-Are you going to be like your father-- -Never!
I’ll never be like my father.
-Then remember what you just said. -Why?
Because I got word
that your dad is getting out of prison.
Isn’t that Naim’s son?
His dad should be getting out of prison too.
Have you seen Ecevit? His dad Naim should get out of prison too...
God mercy us!
Hello.
Ecevit is here.
Did you see? His dad is coming out...
He's here.
-What’s up? -Any word from the teacher?
-Huseyin has gotten a little worse. -You took care of it though, right?
-What is he going to do? -Ecevit won’t leave him hanging.
Right, Ecevit?
That’s taken care of. Are we ready?
Ready. Is Sait ready that's the question.
Oya!
Come in here.
Did you find the number of that girl yesterday?
No, Mr. Sait. It’s totally disappeared.
I even searched the internet to see if the magazine exists.
I mean Children and Development, Children and Future,
nothing.
It's okay. I’ll take it from here.
-Hello? -Am I speaking to faggot Sait?
-Who are you? -A friend of your mother’s.
What do you want?
I don’t want anything from you! I’m informing you.
-Of what? -That you will rot in prison.
Remember the girl from yesterday? We sent her.
She went around all the wards, talked to the inmates,
you had no idea, dude, no idea.
We will tell the police everything, they will raid that place.
What do you mean raid? I have nothing to hide! What do you mean?
We know what kind of shit you do there, dude! You son of a bitch...
We know how you torture those kids! We’ll expose all the dirt on you!
-Who the hell are you?! -You just wait and see!
I’ll fuck your mother, you son of a bitch....
Oya,
cancel everything, I’ll be out this afternoon. Quick! Quick!
You saw it, right? You saw how she ran to him?
-Who? -Why man, why did he do it? Why?
-Who? What are you talking about? - I’m talking about Ahu!
Why didn’t she call me from the prison for help? Why did she call Ecevit?
No way!
No way. Are you having doubts about Sheriff?
Dude, I’ll straighten your face out. Speak right!
Did I say I have doubts? I’m just asking, man,
why didn’t she call me?
This is exactly why. Instead of taking care of things
you'll mess things up and you’ll get in trouble. She has a point, dude!
She thought Ecevit would find a solution.
-That's why she called him. -Is that what you think too?
Of course.
Ecevit won’t cause trouble.
Ecevit won’t cause trouble, you say? Are you forgetting whose son he is?
What's taking them so long?
They will come when he calms down.
Are you okay?
I’m okay.
You’re not resenting me or anything, right?
I called you yesterday, then I said I wished I hadn’t called,
I could have called Bilal, and all.
No, no problem there.
You said the right thing.
So we’re friends?
That’s right, we are friends.
Good. You can tell me about it some time.
-What? -Your life,
your job, your girlfriend.
It’s been 20 years. I’m curious. You have a totally different life.
You must have changed a little.
I haven’t changed at all.
-You haven’t changed? -Not at all.
At all?
None, not a little? Liar.
Where are we on the Ucerler case?
We are reporting, sir. It will be ready in a bit.
Hurry up and get it done, son. What do you do all day, play around?
That white collar smartypants thinks we won’t see him.
Gurur?
What are you doing?
Nothing. Playing around.
What happened to the Ozcan case?
Nothing new, same old.
Son, didn’t I tell you to hurry up and dig up some stuff
or I will pass the case to Homicide?
I get it, you found something.
I got hold of a thread, but I’ll pull it slowly,
but let me see what else comes up.
-I won’t dive headlong into it again. -So?
So, sir, you can trust me and wait,
or give the case to Homicide and wait longer.
Do we keep going or give up? You can let me know at some point.
Now, Blond, you go to the prison.
-I stake out. -Right.
Sait can’t risk it, he will get the tapes out of there.
Follow him to see where he goes. Closely observe the entrances and exits.
And don’t do anything crazy.
All right, I won’t do anything crazy, bro, but tell me,
when we turn in these things, how many years is Sait going to get?
Ibo, you go to the hospital to check on Irfan.
Find a way, find a connection, so we can know when Irfan wakes up.
-Sure thing, brother. -And me? What do I do?
You'll come with me.
We might need to take photos and stuff. I’m not good at that.
Yeah I’m a kiddo and I took the bait.
You’re not a kid but I’m a maniac, remember?
You can keep me in check so I don’t go crazy.
-Naim is out... -Hello.
-Welcome, Aunt Umran. -These things are pretty!
What is the latest on sanding my end tables?
-And then Ecevit came here-- -Hello, I'm talking to you.
-What is it, Aunt Umran? -Don’t make me angry Kamil.
I'm asking about the end tables.
Listen, get them done, have your assistant deliver them tonight.
-Okay, Aunt Umran. -Have a good day.
I’m off to meet a client.
Let me take care of that.
Of course, what were we thinking?
What do you mean?
We run around, you’re the hot shot so you go to your meeting.
I’m not a hot shot pal, I’m a lawyer. Should I quit my job or what?
Okay fine, do what you want.
We will see you after. But we can only meet here.
We won’t go to your quarters.
-We won’t embarrass Mr. Ecevit. -Bilal, what are you doing?
Why don’t you come here?
-What's your problem? -Nothing.
Look at me!
It’s me.
Did I do something I wasn’t aware of? Brother, did I say something?
No man, it’s not your fault.
When stuff happens,
I can’t keep it together.
It’s hard for me too, Blond.
I also get upset and flip out.
I say it too, why bother? Let’s go and finish it up in one go.
You say it but you don’t do anything. Why?
Because you’re Ecevit.
You do the right thing all the time. You always go by the book, right?
When you all are done tonight come to my place.
Don’t look at me like that, aren't we having dinner at my place?
Seriously?
Dude, I won’t be embarrassed of you.
It’s that easy. Someone who knows you opens up that easily.
But one who doesn’t know you, they only know what they hear.
...and I keep wondering what is going on all day.
Look at me, Ismail, you and that douchebag don't ever mention Ecevit’s name again.
What should we do then? He is out and coming back.
This is Trouble Naim, it’s nothing to take lightly, Aunt Umran.
What if he is trouble?
Since Ecevit is suddenly back too, what if they mess up this place together.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, you know, Umran.
Son, you're not man enough to recognize a decent person.
He is well educated and a lawyer, my Ecevit.
You should be happy he is back,
proud to have him here at Kuyudibi,
instead of sitting here gossiping like women.
Shame on you! "The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree."
Besides, Ecevit isn’t like his dad at all!
Take this, here! Keep your damn apples!
Dumb ass!
Is everyone wrong, Ecevit?
Is everyone mistaken about you?
Meryem!
Whose is this? Husband, what did you do now?
Go and get me ice for my hand.
Ecevit, take this wallet,
take out the money.
Take some pocket money for yourself.
-Take it, boy! -This is blood money.
Whose son are you?
Answer me!
If you’re my son you’ll take that money.
Or you can stab someone out there, and make your own money.
I won’t! And I won’t stab anyone.
I won’t be like you. I won't be a criminal like you.
What will you be then?
I’ll be a good guy. I’ll be a lawyer.
When you grow up, you can be whatever the fuck you want to be.
But until then, your money is your father's money.
Now take it.
What are you doing to the boy?
Mother!
Don’t make me take it out on your mother!
-Take it! -Please stop.
Go on!
Let go, let go, let go! Don’t!
Please don’t!
I beg you!
Okay, okay, careful. Hold it from the bottom.
What is this heavy thing?
Don’t sway, you will rip the box.
Stop, stop, stop. Come this way.
Bilal?
Problems are weighing on you, aren’t they?
You know how sometimes you lose it...
Did he hurt you too much?
-I mean, you can talk to me if you want. -I don’t.
Look, Ahu-- Lower your head!
It's Sait! Get down!
-Do you think he got the tapes? -We’ll see in a minute.
Good day nurse sister,
I was going to ask about a patient, Irfan Alkara.
-Are you a relative? -We're close. Well, he’s my boss.
We can’t give out information to anyone except family.
Oh no. Brother Irfan is my livelihood. My wife, my kid, we all need him.
I can’t do anything, I’m sorry.
I mean, if he won’t get better, I’m thinking I should get a new job.
-My wife, my child, they’re sick. -Sir, I can’t tell you anything.
What happened, sir?
Please.
Wait, let me see what I can do.
Did you get the news you've been expecting?
Yes. I’m expecting another message, and when that happens, all is well.
Where were we?
If you're in the right then there's no problem. I won’t let you suffer.
Tell me honestly, don’t hide anything, and that’s enough.
Should we take care of the documents?
Here.
-See if he's got the tapes. -I’ll look now.
He took the whole safe out, that scumbag.
Come to papa, come, come!
Stay in the car!
-Does he know? -He knows it all... that fucking bastard!
How does he know we're after those tapes?
I’m sure he's around here somewhere.
'Somewhere' where, Ahu? We lost the guy!
Stop yelling! Calm down, we will find him.
-Here? This street? -I don’t know! Wait a minute!
We lost the guy! We lost him!
Bilal! There, okay? There! Back up!
Slow! Back up, is that him?
-And? -There! Okay, stop there.
-Good job, girl! -And you didn’t want me here.
If it wasn’t for me, you would be still driving around.
What’s he doing?
Son, come help me get this thing inside.
It’s not far, it’s right there, come on.
Don’t touch the kids.
-Dude I’ll-- -You can't get out, Bilal.
He's making the kids carry it, that son of a gun!
Okay, stop.
-Uncle, what's in here? -Just stuff, son.
Things I’ve collected so far. Memories...
Memories from young pals like yourself.
Are you a teacher?
Something like that, son.
This way. Careful.
-What do we do now? -What we need to do.
-You wait in the car! -Bilal!
Ahu!
Why did you call me?
I mean, when you were in trouble,
you called me, not Bilal.
Man, that was the heaviest box ever.
-The cardboard is heavy-- -Kids. Look here.
Which floor did you go to?
-Why are you asking? -Which floor, dude?
-Second floor. -Apartment?
Number 6.
You know that man?
Don't talk to him again.
-You run away. -Why?
Because I’m asking you.
-Okay. -Now off to school! Go on!
I’ll be on standby for the next step, then.
Don't worry, I've got this case.
-Did my honey finish up his work? -He sure has.
Is he going to pay attention to his girlfriend now?
I’ve been ignoring you for too long. You would never do this to me.
You would always be by my side.
I’m always a jerk. Yet you never leave me.
Why?
Just because.
You come and go as you wish.
But you always come back.
Because I promised.
"Birsen, maybe I won’t love you the way you want to be loved
but I will never leave you."
Because you never left me.
How about you take me out to dinner tonight to make up for it?
Not tonight. Some friends are coming over.
I’d invite you too but you don’t know them. They are childhood friends.
Okay. You meet with your friends, I’ll wait.
Listen here,
do you have any authority in this hospital?
Yes.
No more, my friend, not anymore.
Now I’m the authority.
Nobody will find out that I regained consciousness. Repeat.
Nobody will find out that you regained consciousness.
Excellent.
Other doctors, nurses,
caregivers, cleaning staff,
cafeteria staff, people at home,
nobody.
Now go, tell your hospital.
Tell them Irfan isn’t waking up,
that he will die.
Go.
Stop there!
How many days until you can get me on my feet?
If all goes well, within a week.
Two days.
Whatever you do, you will have me on my feet in two days.
Get out.
Why did you say that? What will you do?
What’s your plan?
Irfan, don’t wear yourself out, okay?
-You just opened your eyes. -Hasan.
Yes, brother?
Bring me my wife and son.
Go inside, go! Don’t let Sait see you!
What was that? Don’t do that again! Okay?
I thought you were going up.
-Were you really scared? -Of course I was.
Were you really worried?
What am I going to do with you?
Whatever you want, I’m here.
Good.
Thank God Ecevit is here and his plans are working.
Thankfully you won’t get in trouble and go in prison.
Everything by the rules, right?
You know Ecevit really well, then?
What do you mean by that?
Never mind. It doesn’t mean anything.
Let me go scout things out.
They won’t let anybody into his room or give out any information.
-I went all around trying to find out. -And did you find anything?
I’m sorry, unfortunately he is still unconscious.
He's gone.
Don’t be sad. We see it all here. Maybe he will come around.
Yeah. Hopefully, hopefully.
Look, nurse sister,
my future depends on this,
if I gave you my phone number, would you call me if he wakes up?
Okay, I will.
Thank you.
Holy crap!
Look at this apartment!
Dude, I swear it’s like the places on TV shows!
Stop overstating, dude.
Ecevit's new life is good.
Bro is this like, a famous painting?
What do you say we palm it off? Ibo? Ibo!
Didn’t I say he had that thing, robe de chambre,
whatever it’s called. You owe me! You too!
-No way! -What do you mean no way?
You always do this. Here it is, he has it.
They had a bet on the way, and I joined. I wouldn’t if I'd known.
Do you happen to have a foulard to wear
while smoking a cigar, Mr. Ecevit?
Don’t laugh, I swear I’ll choke you!
-I didn’t buy it, Birsen did. -Birsen did.
We got a girlfriend. Birsen?
Who is this Birsen? Tell us all about her.
All right now, we’ll talk later.
We’re listening to you now.
We'll put him out and enter his home,
then we'll just take his safe box and get out.
If anyone thinks they're more experienced on this, speak up.
Then this is how we do it.
Now, his apartment is on the second floor.
It’s risky to climb so I’ll open the door and go in, that’s easy.
What do we do in the meantime?
You will be waiting outside the door,
in case he wakes up before I take him out, so he doesn’t see you guys.
-Take him out how? With etherize? -No. We put a pill his soda.
What’s wrong with a pill? We can do it if we want.
Anyway--
Don’t interrupt me!
We won’t beat him up or anything.
We have a method.
When Sait inhales the gas he will faint in a minute,
he won’t be able to lift his head until we get out.
Should we be like... Like in movies?
Let’s say there is a problem. We couldn’t exit the way we entered.
Dude, you watched a ton of movies didn’t you?
How did you come up with that?
Okay girl, your boyfriend is in shape.
But he’s not stupid enough to jump down on a car from the second floor.
Is that it?
A small detail.
Now, let’s say we entered the house,
opened the safe, got what we want, evidence and all,
we gave it to the police, court, whatever...
How many years does he get?
How many years inside, Sheriff?
That’s enough, Blond!
You keep asking. Cut it out. That’s enough.
What did we say?
Does it never cross your mind?
That he will serve a few years and get out? Doesn't that drive you mad?
We had a deal,
we won’t do anything illegal.
No shooting people, no tricks. We will give the tapes to the court,
they'll decide his sentence and Sait will do his time.
The sentence will only be 3-5 years.
The guy is a government official. He’ll call up his friends,
and they will be his witnesses.
With good conduct and all, it will end up being 1-2 years.
I won’t do it.
I committed a crime once for Zeki, and I won’t do it again.
I can barely rest easy after that one time.
I won’t be like them, Blond.
I won’t be as bad as them.
I spent years trying to separate right from wrong.
It's been my childhood dream.
I will put this guy in jail, he will do his time.
However long the law dictates.
I won’t misuse my job for this. I won’t be like them.
He’s right.
They were evil to you, why do you inherit it?
Why do you spread evil?
Submit them to the justice, let them decide the punishment.
All right,
all right, all right.
This should be the pita guy, I ordered pitas for us.
It used to be our favorite.
Surprise!
Darling, I got sushi. It will be fine but your food is getting cold,
I can smell it already. Let’s go in.
I’m innocent here, Birsen dragged me.
Hello!
-Hello. Birsen, right? -Birsen Tarhan.
Glad to meet you, I’m Ahu. Ecevit mentioned you.
He never mentioned you…
-You’re feeling good, right, Irfan? -I’m fit as a flea.
Come here, buddy. Come.
What’s with that face? Did we kill your dad or what?
They tell me at school, my dad’s going to die.
What are you talking about?
Your dad’s a real man, my son,
he won’t die from just an accident.
-You won’t die? -Of course I won’t die.
You are my son.
Man child.
You will be a copy of your dad, like all sons.
You’ll stand up straight.
And you won’t say anything to anyone.
If they tell you anything,
you will secretly laugh at them.
How will you do it?
Like this, buddy?
Good job, tiger.
Zuleyha, the driver must be downstairs. Take the boy home and put him to bed.
Okay. Let's go, son.
Don’t tell anybody anything.
You can come back tomorrow morning.
Smile now, smile!
So, brother? You didn’t say anything?
Like what?
These guys chasing us…
What about them?
Won’t we do anything?
We didn’t take those guys seriously enough.
First, we will get better,
get out of here secretly,
then do nothing.
-Got it. -Cebrail will.
Cebrail?
Good,
let the cannibal find and eat the guys up. Should I go tell him?
Cebrail won’t do anything like that.
He will just tell the police what happened.
That’s all.
We will simply wait now, silently...
...in the deep.
Got it?
Right?
Isn’t that how sharks do it?
So, yeah, I heard from Ecevit about his childhood friends.
He wouldn't introduce me, so why not drop in unannounced?
I didn’t interrupt anything, did I, honey?
I mean, of course, if you'd have let me know…
But then how would it be unannounced?
You’re not mad, are you?
Don’t be.
Mr. Bilal and I got off to a bad start.
I apologize on my behalf.
I’ve known Ecevit for ten years and I had no idea you were childhood friends.
First off all, no worries at all.
Not his childhood friend, his best friend.
Of course you are wondering, where did all these people come from,
but we ran into Ecevit on the street years later.
Well, that’s nice!
I think we will get along.
Old friends, new friends.
Right, Ecevit?
But honey, you didn’t eat any of your thing? Your pita?
That has mushrooms that’s why he can’t eat it, he’s allergic.
He will go red all over, he can’t eat mushrooms.
Remember we were picking mushrooms once and this one went red like a beet?
Ecevit is allergic to mushrooms?
I didn’t know that.
Of course, there is much that the new friends don’t know.
So, but Ecevit? Did we go to that cooking class in Paris?
You made truffles, how did that happen?
-And they were really tasty, weren’t they? -Amazing.
Ecevit cooks?
-Did you go to a women’s class? Gosh! -And in Paris!
That means old friends don’t know it all.
Life...
Here’s a question, bro.
Who are you?
Sure, I’ll ask the same thing.
I mean, who knows what we will find out next?
Honey, who are you?
Yes Ecevit, seriously, who are you?
GAME OF SILENCE
