[bunniefuu]

[moody music playing]

Despite the initial outbreak of tension

following the police's extrajudicial

execution of Burak Demir,

the situation seems to have deescalated

with the young man's funeral.

[moody music fades out]

[contemplative music playing]

Hey, Salih.

Semavi.

Semavi is coming.

[people chattering]

[Tuğçe] Yes, at this very moment,

Gökhan Şahinoğlu,

also known as Semavi,

is arriving at the soccer field

where the funeral is taking place.

He hasn't been back

since Burak Demir was k*lled.

We are eager to see the crowd's reaction.

[contemplative music continues]

2003-2023

ORMANCILAR ATHLETIC CLUB

Please now join me in a moment of silence,

as we bid farewell to our brother Burak.

[contemplative music fades out]

[quiet, moody music playing]

[ghostly humming]

Easy.

[vehicle engine starts]

[man] They released him!

They released him,

the man who m*rder*d Burak!

They released the police officer!

[Salih] What are you doing?

That's how little our lives

mean to them? Huh?

[people shouting]

Hey, stop!

Stay back!

[siren blaring]

- [shouting]

- [smoke b*mb fires]

[shouting indistinctly]

[muffled noises and shouting]

[muffled] Get back!

Get back!

[unmuffled sound]

[Gökhan] Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Come on!

[smoke b*mb fires]

[quiet, moody music continues]

[person gasps]

Come on, get up. Help him up!

[muffled sound]

Stop! Guys, don't!

Get out of here!

[smoke b*mb fires]

Stop! Go back! Get back! No, no, no!

Fall back! Fall back!

Fall back!

Fall back!

[smoke b*mb fires]

[music continues]

MIGHTY - ARROGANCE - GREAT - GRAVE

[music stops abruptly]

They said it was a gas leak, sir.

All it took to blow it up was one spark.

Thankfully they had emptied the building

a while back because it was run down.

Hmm. Well, if the building was empty,

then why was the gas still connected,

did they explain that to you?

- Because the custodian made a mistake.

- What?

Because the custodian made a mistake.

He was making tea

on a stove connected to the gas line.

That's how it started.

Nah, this was no mistake.

You don't think he did this, do you?

Come on, sir.

They investigated

and identified the cause.

Besides, the building was scheduled

for demolition anyway, now it's done.

I saw it with my own eyes, Damla.

What do you want me to say?

That it was all just a dream? That it's

all a coincidence, it's all Allah's doing?

No, of course not, but

Okay, let's just say it was Semavi.

Why didn't he post about it,

like last time?

Why didn't he flaunt it

on social media again?

Maybe it was some kind of drill.

How so?

[contemplative music playing]

To prepare for something else.

I mean, I don't know,

like some kind of larger attack. Move.

[man] What are your thoughts on

the demands of Ormancılar residents?

[woman 1]

There are allegations of tortured.

- [woman 2] Investigate that officer?

- [woman 1] Will you release them?

[Muammer] Listen folks,

this is not child's play.

Law enforcement and legal authorities

won't alter their conclusions

simply because

a couple of punks demanded it.

Of course the young man's death

is deeply tragic, may he rest In peace.

However, we have already determined

that our colleague took action

in self-defense

to protect himself

and the other officers who were present.

And any allegation of t*rture

is completely unfounded.

Sir, it sounds like the demands

of the Ormancılar residents

won't be taken into consideration.

Are you prepared for the possibility

that reactions might escalate?

The majority of Ormancılar residents

do support their state.

That's what you have

to understand about all this.

We are handling this matter

with the utmost sensitivity

to protect that innocent majority.

Our hope is to resolve this issue

through persuasion and dialogue.

- And what if they can't be persuaded?

- Then we'll do whatever needs to be done.

- What do you mean? Can you elaborate?

- That's all, thank you.

[woman] Sir, what do you think

you'll have to do?

[Damla] What's going to happen now, sir?

[scoffs]

Nothing.

What do you mean?

They won't engage

in any conspicuous actions

while the media is monitoring Ormancılar.

They might have a few operations

for show, but that's it.

They wouldn't let

a trained monkey like Muammer

handle something as serious as this.

Who do you mean by "they", sir?

You know, them.

[chuckles]

We should mind our own business.

What's new with the phone analysis?

According to the latest reports,

he hasn't contacted anyone new,

but we previously determined that he had

deleted an application called SoulTouch.

Now he's reinstalled it.

And?

And so Buğra is looking

into the messages on it.

Hmm.

And the statements

from the kids we have in custody?

We have them.

[contemplative music continues]

Mahmut, open the door.

- Here you go, sir.

- Thanks.

Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

What's going on?

What's with the long faces?

It's a slap on the wrist.

Come on, be reasonable.

You do worse to each other

in the hood, anyway, don't you?

All right, tell me who's in charge here?

- Yeah, man, we don't have a leader.

- [Kara] Is that so?

So it's an anarchic

democracy, then? Bravo.

The statements you gave

were completely ridiculous.

"I haven't done anything."

"I grabbed an officer as I was falling."

Who do you think you're fooling?

See? You see where

following Semavi got you?

You all ended up here.

You resisted police officers.

That's serious.

- You're looking at three to five years.

- Semavi wouldn't just leave us in here.

The assistant mechanic's gonna save you?

That'll be the day.

All right, no problem.

You guys seem comfortable in here.

I'll let you reflect a little longer.

Enjoy the hospitality of your government.

Stupid kids.

You think he won't leave us here?

He already ran away from this.

Where is he? If he cared about us,

he'd have been here.

[people shouting] Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

- Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

- What's going on? Stop it!

What are you doing? Move!

Not like this! Not like this!

Why not like this?

How do you think it should be?

You want us to let them walk into the

neighborhood and k*ll even more of us?

Is that what we should do?

Baran, know your place.

What place? Am I wrong?

They released the man who k*lled Burak

in front of us in less than two hours.

Our brothers are sitting in custody

while murderers roam free.

- How is that fair?

- Guys, listen to me.

Violence brings violence.

But this isn't violence, it's resistance.

[man] We didn't start this!

Guys, listen. Please, change

your ways now before it's too late.

- You're the one who's late.

- Where've you been?

His body wasn't even cold,

and you ran away.

Where's that Allah

you've been talking to, Semavi?

Until that m*rder*r is punished,

and until our brothers are released,

neither you, nor your Allah can stop us.

[people shouting]

[men] Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice

You guys wait here.

Let us know if there's a problem.

[coughing]

[explosions]

- [siren blaring]

- [explosions continue]

[distant shouting]

[woman] You said Allah commanded you.

[quiet, dramatic music playing]

You convinced us to follow you.

- [man 1] What are you doing?

- [man 2] Let go!

- [man 1] Leave the car alone!

- [man 2] We need it.

Hey! You! Get away from the car!

You couldn't stop talking then.

Why so quiet now?

[object clatters on ground]

- My Burak is dead.

- Gülten.

- You couldn't protect him!

- Gülten, come on. Enough!

- That's enough.

- [Gülten] At least protect these boys!

Gülten, come on, let me take you home.

[tires screech]

[echoing blast]

[distant shouting]

Gökhan.

I warned you, didn't I? Multiple times.

"Stop this, Gökhan. Don't do it, Gökhan."

"Don't open the door to evil, Gökhan."

"This won't end well, Gökhan."

Did you listen?

Of course not.

I am only doing what Allah

Himself has commanded me to do.

Unbelievable.

[speaking Arabic]

Gökhan, a 20-year-old kid died here.

Twenty years old.

The neighborhood is in chaos.

Is this what Allah asked you to do?

- We still have work to do

- Stop saying "we," Gökhan!

This is about you!

You can't just say "we"

to avoid responsibility.

Do whatever you can, to fix this sh

Please forgive me, Allah.

Just clean up your mess.

Stop these kids.

If even one more innocent

person gets hurt, just one person,

it will be on you.

[quiet, dramatic music continues]

[quiet, dramatic music fades out]

[faint, mysterious music playing]

There is none worthy of worship but Allah,

the Mighty, the Forbearing.

There is none worthy of worship but Allah,

Lord of the Magnificent Throne.

There is none worthy of worship but Allah,

Lord of the heavens

and Lord of the earth,

and of the Noble Throne.

[inhaling]

[Gökhan]

You are angry with me, aren't You?

[inhaling]

I was out of line.

Arrogance got the best of me.

[inhaling]

You're angry with me because

I asked to see You, aren't You?

[faint, mysterious music continues]

Allah, please forgive me.

Send me a sign.

[inhaling] Say something.

[in wavering voice]

I don't know what to do.

I'm scared.

I'm really scared, Allah.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Forgive me.

Please show me mercy.

[whimpering]

Show me mercy.

[sniffling]

We're here. He's inside the lodge.

Got it, thank you.

Good to see you, Merve.

Semavi is in the lodge.

Thanks, Salih.

[exhales deeply]

[faint, mysterious music continues]

[distant dog barking]

Gökhan?

- Merve?

- Sweetie?

Why are you here?

Go back home.

I came all this way,

you want to send me back?

I'll ask Salih to take you back.

Gökhan.

What happened?

Gökhan, why are you hiding out here?

Gökhan.

What happened to Semavi?

Gökhan, the kids down there are swearing

they'll get vengeance somehow.

They're not letting

anyone into the neighborhood.

No one can leave their homes.

Gökhan, why aren't you doing anything?

Why aren't you saying anything?

'Cause I don't know what I'm supposed

to do or what to say anymore, Merve.

I don't know.

He's not talking to me.

He's not sending me signs anymore.

[sniffling]

I can't feel Him inside me anymore,

in my heart, or in my soul.

He gave up on me, Merve.

I'm not the right person.

Why would you even say that?

Gökhan, don't you realize

what you're saying is sinful?

Allah could never make a mistake,

or choose the wrong person.

Come on, don't do this.

I've already committed

the gravest of sins.

I disrespected Allah.

I know I crossed the line with Him.

I asked Him to reveal Himself.

He talked to me, Merve.

Through this.

I heard Allah's voice.

What did He say?

Just "You cannot see me."

Then He went quiet.

He left me.

[whimpers]

I don't I don't

I don't know how to stop

this this disaster, Merve.

I don't know.

[faint, mysterious music fades out]

I

I don't know.

[ominous music playing]

[people shouting]

[music becomes quiet and dramatic]

[echoing blast]

[echoing blast]

[Baran] Tomorrow, today, even right now.

They can come any time they like.

There's no turning back now.

And there's no way out of Ormancılar.

We've already made our demands known.

The cop who m*rder*d

Burak must be punished.

And our friends who are still

in custody must be released.

Until these demands are met,

we're not going to remove

even a single pebble

from these barricades.

Well, uh, there you have it, everyone.

Now, as you can see,

the ultimatum issued by the police

really hasn't changed the situation

much around here.

We'll just have to wait

and see how the tensions resolve.

Will the authorities finally give in?

Or are we about to witness

a w*r here tomorrow.

[music ends]

[Muammer] We have recently

received intelligence,

that the same individuals in Ormancılar

who are causing this civil unrest,

are currently preparing

an attack on public buildings.

This is our final warning to the people

behind this despicable plan.

Stop this nonsense.

You cannot force the government

to accept your ridiculous terms.

Either you put an end to these actions

and return home until tomorrow at noon

CHIEF OF POLICE MAKING A STATEMEN

or you are going to find out

who does the real raiding around here.

[woman] Yes, the police

[Gülcan] He said they're going

to attack tomorrow.

You have to do something!

Where are you going?

- People will get hurt!

- Shhh! Shut up! Shut your damn mouth!

- Shut it!

- Am I wrong, Merve?

[Mom] Stop working him up, enough!

What do you think you're doing?

You want your brother to be k*lled,

like Burak was? Huh? Quit, then! Tut!

[slow, dramatic electric guitar music]

[door slams]

[object clatters]

OUTAGE ACROSS CITY - LOOTING

SHORT CIRCUIT - ACCIDEN

SEMAVİ - GÖKHAN ŞAHİNOĞLU

[Kara] No. Nope.

This won't work.

We won't get anywhere with this.

Move.

[music fades out]

[cell phone vibrates]

What the f*ck is it this time, huh?

[faint, tense music playing]

[cell phone vibrates]

- Hi, Chief. What is it?

- [Kara] Hey!

Why the hell haven't you

been answering my calls?

Well, things are a bit hectic

here, you know. I couldn't.

What's Gökhan planning now?

What's he up to?

How much worse does he want things to get?

Listen, chief, let me tell you something.

Gökhan has nothing to do with this,

he tried to get them to put an end to it.

But the boys are riled up, so they're

not really listening to anyone anymore.

[chuckles]

Please, Serhat.

We saw it with our own eyes.

He kept egging people on

and getting everyone all excited,

and now it's out of hand,

he wants to stop them. I'm no idiot.

Why would I lie to you? You know what

things are like in this neighborhood.

There are people racing c*ck

out of boredom here.

They just need the tiniest spark

and they'll explode.

What're you talking about?

What's with the metaphors?

I'm saying that in this hood,

barricades and protests,

all of this, it's just a game to them.

They're not doing it for political

reasons. They're doing it to socialize.

They've gotten a taste for it. They won't

back down without getting what they want.

Okay, well, f*ck their taste for it.

Now, listen to me very carefully.

Your friend Gökhan, he convinced people

to follow him with a bunch of lies,

gathered donations and money,

and then, when this whole incident

with Burak happened, it all backfired,

and he couldn't handle it,

does that sound right?

Gökhan has nothing to do with any of this.

I've already told you

everything I know, Chief.

I did what you asked me to do,

so our deal is finished.

I don't care about the rest.

- You take care now. See ya.

- Wait!

- Uh

- [faint, tense music stops]

[fire crackling]

[person whistling]

[distant dog barking]

Whoa, dude, you've got a great place.

It could use a bit of my touch,

though, obviously.

We'll keep the vines there.

We'll need some light here.

[bottles clinking]

[inhaling]

- Psst, take it.

- [distant dog barking]

Come on, if you're not

gonna smoke now, then when?

[Gökhan scoffs]

Fine, don't f*cking take it, more for me.

They'll attack tomorrow.

[quiet, contemplative music playing]

I know.

What're you gonna do?

I I don't know.

You don't. That's great.

When you first told me

you were speaking to Allah,

I mocked the sh*t out of you.

But,

a part of me

just couldn't help but wonder,

"Does this mean He finally remembered us?"

We're Allah's forsaken people again.

f*ck it. Let Ormancılar burn

to the f*cking ground.

What good did it do

while it was standing here anyway?

[Serhat sighs]

[contemplative music fades out]

[cell phone vibrates]

[stops vibrating]

Hello?

[vehicle approaching]

[engine shuts off and handbrake creaks]

[door shuts]

How are you, Semavi?

You good?

So, this is it, huh?

Tomorrow your neighborhood

will be in shambles.

Those kids you egged on

are gonna get hit, by a ton of bricks.

And you're clearly at your wits' end.

So,

you can stop being stubborn,

and just tell me

what you've been planning.

Tell me, so I can do my job,

and take care of the situation.

[Gökhan sighs]

There's no plan,

no scheming, and no con.

I'm not just being stubborn.

And I'm not lying.

You son of a b*tch.

I'm telling you,

people are gonna die here tomorrow.

Young people, kids.

So stop being a prick, tell me everything.

Don't believe me, then.

You don't believe in Allah either, do you?

[Kara scoffs]

Where did that come from?

And why do you care?

- You want us to cooperate, right?

- Yeah.

I have to know this.

I cannot believe in any god,

who would allow such widespread injustice,

so much evil,

and so many unfair, untimely deaths.

It wasn't your fault.

[quiet, moody music playing]

What're you saying?

His death wasn't your fault,

it was his time to go.

[Kara shudders faintly and gulps]

[inhaling]

You don't

You don't

How do you

When you were questioning me,

Allah told me.

- He wanted me to know you.

- Cut the sh*t! Got it?

Who you get your intel from,

who's really behind you,

I'm going to find out everything.

But first, you

You

You're gonna put out

this fire you started.

This is my final warning.

If that neighborhood of yours

has any more dead bodies tomorrow,

you won't survive either.

Believe me.

[quiet, moody music continues]

[receding footsteps]

[shuddering faintly]

[panting]

[sniffling]

[quiet, moody music continues]

[sobbing]

[sobbing continues]

[sniffling]

[quiet, moody music continues]

[exhales deeply]

[starts engine]

[whimpers]

[quiet, moody music continues]

[Baran] Guys, this is it!

There's no turning back from here.

We've been oppressed for far too long.

We've been pushed around far too long.

It's better to die for freedom

than live as sl*ves.

All right, guys, come here

if you've already signed up.

Hey, man.

Look, if you came

just wanting to be a hero, don't do this.

We can give the g*n

to someone else. Huh?

No, no.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay. Okay.

[man] Come on!

Come, come, quickly!

Hurry up!

[quiet, moody music continues]

[people chattering]

[music becomes tense]

Have you lost your minds?

What are these? What are these?

Do you know what will happen

if you use these?

You'll give them the excuse

they've looked for!

No one here will survive!

Come to your senses.

Weren't you the one who said, "To do

nothing is to side with the oppressor"?

Didn't you say that's what it means

to walk in the path of Allah?

That's exactly what this is.

That's enough, give them to me! Here!

Give it to me! Come on!

Go back to your homes! Go on!

Is this coming from Allah? Or from you?

Because if it's coming from you,

sorry, but we don't trust you

anymore, Semavi.

But if it's Allah, then ask Him

to perform a miracle through you.

I swear, I'll drop everything.

I'll go back home, crawl under the covers

and wait for this to be over.

[tense music continues]

Nothing?

Hm.

Well, then, I'm very sorry, Semavi.

Allah wants us to go on.

[men shouting]

We will not stop!

[men] Justice! Justice! Justice for Burak!

Justice! Justice! Justice for Burak!

Justice! Justice! Justice for Burak!

Justice! Justice! Justice for Burak!

Justice! Justice

[music stops]

Good evening, Mr. Rıza.

Come in, son.

[exhales deeply]

I couldn't convince any of them.

They wouldn't listen.

[shudders]

It's done, Merve.

It's all over.

[Merve] Nothing is over.

Gökhan, don't give up on yourself now.

You don't get it, Merve.

I lost my light,

and I lost my path, Merve.

I'm nothing without Him.

Gökhan, what are you saying?

Of course you're not nothing.

[quiet, upbeat,

contemplative music playing]

Hey, maybe

Gökhan, maybe Allah is quiet

because He already knows

you're going to do the right thing?

Couldn't that be it?

You've convinced people once already.

You can do it again.

Gökhan, please, have faith in Allah,

and have faith in yourself.

Will you look at me?

Gökhan, you really are different.

Y You really believe that's true?

I've never doubted it.

[kiss]

[Gökhan shudders]

[shuddering]

- [distant people shouting]

- [ominous music]

[all] Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Justice! No peace! Give us justice!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

[muffled chanting]

[man shouting]

[tense music playing]

no peace! Give us justice!

[music stops]

You look really nice, Gökhan.

[inhaling] You're quite a handsome guy.

But the real test begins now, Semavi.

But don't worry,

I know you're going to get through this.

[breathing deeply]

[quiet, musical tone playing]

[men] Justice! Justice! Justice for Burak!

[people shouting and chanting]

[man over loudspeaker] Please disperse!

Disperse, or we'll be forced to intervene!

Go, go, go! To the barricade!

- [tense, music playing]

- [shouting and chanting]

[quiet, dramatic music playing]

[shouting and chanting]

[man over loudspeaker]

This protest is unlawful.

[man continues indistinctly

over people shouting]

[Gökhan shouts indistinctly]

Move! Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

- [man] Yücel! Yücel!

- Stop!

- Please stop.

- Stop!

Yücel, go home.

Listen, brothers!

You must all heed the commands of Allah!

Do not follow in the footsteps of Satan!

Satan is truly your greatest enemy!

You hear me?

- [g*n blast]

- [person screams]

- [Salih, muffled] Semavi!

- [music stops]

[Gülcan & Serhat, muffled] Gökhan!

[man] Get him!

Wait!

- [Salih] Semavi!

[faint, tense music playing]

[Gülcan] Gökhan!

[echoing] Gökhan!

[shuddering]

- Brother!

- [person] Gökhan!

[Gülcan & Merve] Gökhan!

[Gülcan] Gökhan!

[Merve] Gökhan!

[contemplative flute music playing]

[Merve] Gökhan! Gökhan! Please wake up!

[inhales deeply]

[music becomes quiet and tense]

[Merve shuddering]

[Merve] Are you okay?

[man] Allah, dear Allah,

Allah Almighty, You are great.

[shuddering]

Look, Salih.

The b*llet didn't pierce his skin!

[Merve] Oh, Gökhan!

[music intensifies]

You're okay.

Thanks to Allah.

Thanks to Allah. Thanks to Allah.

It didn't go through!

[Baran] This is a miracle!

[Salih] He's alive!

The b*llet didn't go through!

- [Merve] Careful!

- [Salih] Takbir!

[crowd] Allahu Akbar!

Takbir!

Allahu Akbar!

- Takbir!
