[bunniefuu]

"By the morning sunlight,
and the night when it falls still,

your Lord has not abandoned you,
nor has He become hateful of you.

And the next life is certainly
far better for you than this one.

And surely your Lord will give so much
to you that you will be pleased."

"Did He not find you as an orphan
then sheltered you?

Did He not find you unguided
then guided you?

And did He not find you needy
then satisfied your needs?

So do not oppress the orphan!
Nor repulse the beggar!

And proclaim the blessings of your Lord!"

[suspenseful music playing]

[woman] Come back here!
He stole my purse! Thief!

[man] Stop! Where are you going?
Get back here!

[grunts and groans]

[man] I trusted you. Why'd you touch it?

You couldn't even handle
what you're in charge of.

And you try acting tough?

THE GRAFT

[birds chirping]

[ominous music playing]

[sheep bleating]

[call to prayer over loudspeakers]

[Kenan] Hey, doctor.

-Hey, brother.
-[Kenan] I'm going to the mosque.

Orhan Hoca's leading the prayer.

Let's go join them.

Come on, let's go. Okay? [chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

[call to prayer continues]

[Orhan] Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

[praying in Arabic]

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

[speaking Arabic]

[Ozan] Is everyone
in this village repentant?

Everyone here was once a sinner.
They became repentant later.

Did you make that happen?

God forbid, who are we?

God made it happen.

Our doc's a bit curious.
He asks questions like that.

Well, now that he's found you,
he'll go straight to the source.

-No worries, it's fine.
-Go on, ask away.

Look, do you see those men?

Some of them have taken many lives

in different countries and lands

worlds apart from here.

Some forgot their God,
while others forgot who they were.

But one day, well,

some in the prime of their lives,

some in their final moments,
they regretted.

They took refuge in repentance.

They gave up everything,
all the worldly wealth, and settled here.

Surah An-Nisa, verse 99 says...

[speaking Arabic]

"It is hoped Allah will pardon them,
for Allah is ever-pardoning,

for Allah is all-forgiving,
the most merciful."

So then, what do they need to do
to reach this village?

It is up to Allah to grant it.

God willing,
Allah will grant it to all one day.

-Amen.
-Amen.

[dramatic music playing]

[Nazmiye] What'd you do, Mehmet?

What did you do? Huh?

[Kenan] My son.

[both chuckle]

What is it? What's wrong?

What could it be, Kenan?

He fought with the children.

He knocked one of them down
and hurt his knee.

So I'm taking him home.

Oh, son.

My lion. My boy.

Go home now.

-Go on, Nazmiye.
-Okay, come on.

Let's go, all right?

My sweet boy...

The child's in a terrible state.

He's become aggressive.
We can't control him.

No surprise here. He's traumatized.

Once he's past this,
we'll get him into therapy.

God willing.

Is Deren doing all right?

She's fine, brother. She's better.

All right, then,
let's go pay her a visit, check in on her.

Tell me the whole thing.
Give me all the details, and I'll listen.

Sure thing, brother.

Let's go.

[door creaks closed]

RUNAWAY DOCTOR STILL AT LARGE

[tense music playing]

[door opens]

[tense music playing]

[sighs]

All right, then. Here we go, friends.

Ozan, what did you say to me?

You said, "Brother, let's save Mehmet,
and I'll tell you everything in detail."

Didn't you?

Thank God we saved Mehmet.

That's what matters.

All right...

Now spill it.
Tell me everything in detail.

Where do you know Deren from?

How did the two of you get acquainted?

Okay, let me explain.

[Deren] So, Ozan,
didn't you tell Kenan we were friends?

I mean, you could've
cleared it up beforehand.

[Ozan] Did you just say "friends"?

-Can anyone be your friend?
-Stop it, son, for God's sake.

Just tell me the truth.
That's all I want to hear.

Fine. Go ahead. Tell him.

[Deren] Let me explain, Kenan.

He's clearly gonna keep selling me out.

This fine doctor was planning all along
to k*ll Haldun.

No, that's a lie.

[Deren] Whatever. He couldn't pull it off.
These things are destiny.

It was meant for me,
so I had him taken out.

-Are you out of your mind, huh?
-[Deren] Brother--

-[Ozan] Kenan, come on. Calm down.
-Do you even know what

-you've f*cking set in motion?
-This isn't a tattoo wound, you know.

It happened while I was trying to save
your son. I could've died last night.

Don't you try to make me feel guilty!

[Deren]
My father was k*lled. What did you do?

No one did f*cking anything!

Did Rıza take revenge? No!

He even sat down at the table
with the man who k*lled my father.

You, Kenan,
claimed you'd taken your own path,

and ended up behind bars at this age.

No, I ended up in prison
because I didn't make a deal with Tufan.

[Deren] So why did the w*r start then?

Is it because Rıza and Tufan
sat down at the same table?

Or because you're protecting Ozan?

[tense music continues]

I said what needed to be said.

I would've done whatever was necessary.

What are you talking about?

You actually teamed up
with that b*stard Tufan.

Come on, did you leave me
any other choice?

Who was there for me? I was all alone.

Where were all those tough brothers
of ours, those so-called lions?

No one did a damn thing!

"Deren, shut up!" "Deren, sit down."
"Deren, stop."

"Deren, you're a woman."
They were good for nothing else.

Well, I'm my father's daughter,
so I didn't just stand there.

I ended up sitting at that disgusting
man's table because of Rıza.

All I wanted was to use them
and crash their whole system.

I was doing pretty damn good.

That is, up until this
doctor-turned-mobster caught me.

Trying to play the hero.

Doctor, if you knew all this,
why didn't you tell me?

-I'm curious.
-There.

Because I found it out later on,
just like you, Kenan.

I did it for my sister.

There was no other way to find my sister.

Unfortunately.

[tense music continues]

Kenan, brother.

You can get as angry at me as you want.
It's fine, really.

But if we don't do something
before they find us,

we're gonna end up
dying like dogs in this place.

You know that.

[tense music continues]

[birds squawking]

[sighs]

[groans]

[sighs]

[sighs]

I'm sorry.

I let the ones
who took you from me escape.

I'm sorry.

What have you done to me?

If I was the old Rıza...

Haldun?

Damn, when you were a kid,

every time I came home
you'd run up yelling, "Dad! Dad!"

And then, "You're home, you're home, Dad!"

I'd go, "What is it, kid?"

"When I grow up,
I wanna be just like you, Dad."

You grew up, you donkey.

You grew up so big that you even left.

Don't worry.

I'll be the old Rıza again.

For a while.

And those who took you away from me,
those who made me this Rıza,

I'll drag them all down
to the bottom of hell.

Just wait.

Dads do the work.

And sons just lie around, right?

Just wait.

You'll see.

You'll see, son.

[strains and groans]

[breathes heavily]

[groans]

[sighs]

[ominous music playing]

Now that we're on this road...

In situations like this,
the best defense is always a good offense.

[exhales]

[Kenan]
If you hide in a corner, you'll shrink.

That's why we've got no choice
but to strike at both Rıza and Tufan.

Kenan, I mean...

The moment we stick our heads out,
they'll k*ll us all.

With Rıza and Tufan still breathing,

it means we're already
trapped in this place

with no way out, don't you get it?

If I may.

I've got a suggestion
that I think you'll like.

Why don't we think bigger
instead of keeping ourselves small?

Let's go to the police.

How will that work?

Well, I mean, I've got enough information
to cause an earthquake

across a good chunk of this country,
honestly.

So let's find the right person.

There's gotta be someone from the police,
from intelligence.

I'll lay it all out nice and clear,
and we'll solve this from the root.

Well, that's not how it works.

You'll go to jail so I can stay free?
No way. I won't let that happen.

[Deren] Kenan, Kenan,
I'm not going to f*cking jail.

But if we sit around here any longer,
I'll lose my mind completely,

or I'll get whacked
the very second I step outside.

No. I won't let that happen.

What you're suggesting
is called snitching.

I won't let anyone say
that Kenan Görüklü snitched.

So just shut up.

It goes against my code.

[Ozan]
It's not against the code, brother.

Is stealing a body from a grave
part of the code?

They're violating the code.

They turned brothers against each other
in the streets, kidnapped your son.

Let's not forget,
they dared to hit your wife, Kenan.

Take a look at your enemies.
Are they honorable men like you?

Kenan, is there any code left at all?

I'm the code, damn it.

As long as I'm around
and standing on my feet, the code stays.

[Deren] Brother.

Listen, don't take it personally,
but you're not around.

My father is gone too.

Who's still around
who can keep the code alive?

You're the last real boss out here, Kenan.
Once you're gone, the code dies.

Just dogs and wolves in the streets.
Is that what you want?

[dramatic music playing]

We have no other choice
but to talk about this

and to try to wreck
the system these lowlifes built.

Fine, but...

then we'll just expose their dirty games,
reveal their corruption, nothing more.

-All right, brother. Nothing more.
-[Kenan] Nothing else.

We won't reveal those kinds of secrets
meant to be taken to the grave

and buried forever,
not even if they're Rıza's.

Brother, your world is already
a room full of secrets.

All right then, leave it to me.

I know exactly
which things I need to expose.

We just need to find the right person.

-I'll take care of it.
-[Ozan] Wait a minute. Hold on.

Why don't we make sure
everyone hears this news?

Why not amplify the impact
of the earthquake, Kenan?

Hmm.

[Deren]
Guys, I'm sorry to interrupt, but...

we're becoming something
like a dream team, right?

[laughs]

We need to get a message
to someone, brother.

How do we do that?

[majestic music playing]

[cell phone vibrating]

Hello?

Salaam alaikum, Mr. Faik.

What's this about?

We need to talk to you.

[man 1]
Boss, don't do this, boss. Let us go.

-[man 2] I'm begging you.
-[man 3] Please don't do this.

Don't do this, brother.
Let's talk this out.

-[Rıza] All right!
-Please, boss.

-Please don't do this.
-Calm down, what's all this noise?

-Huh?
-[man 1] Boss, I beg you, don't do this.

-Ooh.
-[man 1] Boss, what did we do?

What did you do?

[grunts]

[man 3]
We didn't do anything wrong, boss.

Please...

-You didn't do anything, right?
-[man 1] No.

What about treason?

Kenan threatened our lives,
said he'd k*ll us.

We never betrayed you!

[Rıza] Mm!

Is that so?

You hear? Kenan was going to k*ll them.

What am I going to do?

What use are you to me?

What else can I do but k*ll you?
f*ck you, maybe?

Huh?

At least Kenan
would've blown your brains out.

You would have died peacefully,
you bunch of idiots.

He's a man of honor, your brother Kenan.

Right?

You should do the same.

Boss, for the love of God, don't drown us!

[Rıza] Hmm!

Don't be afraid, don't worry.

Don't worry at all.

There won't even be a drop of water
for you in hell, son.

Not even a drop.

[cigarette sizzles]

Fifty million dollars.

Right?

Was that $50 million?

What's that on the ground?
Twenty, twenty-five million easy, right?

Pour the rest out, son.

Look!

I'm drowning you in money,
you f*cking sons of b*tches!

Yeah!

Come on, it's time.

Soak them.

-Please, boss, don't do it!
-What are you doing?

-Please don't!
-We'll do whatever you want!

-For God's sake, don't k*ll us!
-Please!

We've got families!

Give it here.

[man]
No, no, please! We've got families!

Don't do it...

I will.

[man 2] We'll do anything! Stop!

-Stop, please!
-Do you a big favor, gentlemen.

[panicked shouting]

Ah!

-Boss, I beg you!
-We'll disappear. We promise!

-No! No!
-Please! Please!

Don't do this!

[panicked shouting continuous]

[men screaming]

[fire crackling]

[intense music playing]

[door opens and closes]

-Hi.
-[Kenan] Is he asleep?

[sighs] It was a struggle, but yeah.

What's gonna happen to our son, Kenan?

I talked to Ozan about that.

He said he'll recover with therapy
after everything's over.

Is all of this gonna be over soon?

[sighs] Nazmiye, you saw how
much trouble I got into.

Have you ever seen me fall?
Ever seen me lose?

No, but this time it's different.

You're aware of it too, Kenan.

You're fighting a friend of 40 years.

He knows you,
and you know him just as well.

There's no friendship left.
Those days are over.

He was dead to me
the day he laid a hand on you.

You're right.

Kenan.

Maybe it was God's will
all along that we come here.

Maybe that's the only reason.

Maybe he brought you here for repentance.

[dramatic music playing]

Please let it end already, Kenan.
You hear me?

Come on, Nazmiye.

You know I can't.

Because if I pull out of this now,

if I give up now, they'll k*ll everyone.

And that's why I can't stop
before k*lling them all.

You get that, Nazmiye?

What if something
happens to us or our son?

It won't. Never.

As long as I'm around,
no one will ever be able to harm you.

God forbid.

Relax. Don't think that way.

All right, sweetheart?

Don't think like that.

[Orhan] Human beings
are the noblest of all creatures.

That is, the most honorable
among all created beings.

But ultimately, they're creatures.

What distinguishes them from other
creatures is the soul and the mind.

Nature makes every living thing
hungry and thirsty,

and drives it to wrestle
with the cravings of its own soul.

Only reason can tell it to stop.

But the mind given to humans
has the wisdom to stop the self,

to control it, and in the end,
to surrender to it.

And you...

how will you fight the devil within you?

This is what we teach you.

The self can't be destroyed.

It can be suppressed, controlled,
or restrained, but never destroyed.

And so you, with every new day,

you wake to an enemy within.

And it's the most dangerous of all.

May our Lord never let us
be defeated by that enemy.

Amen.

Let's go.

All right.

-Do your evening studies properly.
-[Ozan] Brother.

Hello.

Do I know you from somewhere?

Salaam alaikum.

He doesn't talk to anyone.

Well, why won't he talk?

There's a lake around here.
We call it the bottomless lake.

He goes there and sits
under the trees for hours.

What's with him?

No one here knows anyone else's problems.

We don't ask.

We only know the way to the remedy.

That's not how it works.

There's no cure
without knowing the problem.

It's our Lord who gives the problem
and the cure for it.

We're merely a means on this journey.

Besides, who knows, doctor?
Maybe his cure is in his sorrow.

-[Ozan] All right.
-Take care.

[ominous music playing]

[cane clanging]

[clanging continues]

[cane clangs]

[suspenseful music playing]

Get out. Everyone out.

-Get well soon.
-[door closes]

This is a government agency.

You shouldn't be here.

I will go wherever the hell I want to be.

[cane clangs]

The intelligence you provided was useless.

You know damn well we wanted them dead
just as much as you did, Rıza.

But the intelligence wasn't useless.

They'd been there,
but they'd already left.

Is that how you report to your superiors?

You're not my superior!

-I'm your superior, Tufan!
-Don't overstep your bounds!

I'm the one holding you
in that seat of power.

-Don't overstep your bounds!
-If it weren't for me,

you'd have crumbled long ago.
So you'll do as I say!

-...out of that mess you were in...
You'll report to me!

Don't go against your superiors!

If we hadn't covered
for your son's disgrace,

you'd be neither a father
nor Rıza right now.

[suspenseful music continues]

What are you doing, Rıza?

Now look at me.

Do you see fear in these eyes? Tell me.

Tufan?

If you k*ll me, Rıza,
you won't get out alive.

Death is no problem at all for me, Tufan.

What about you? Huh?

Ah, it's a problem for you.

Ah.

Tufan.

This is blood.

So you do bleed after all, Tufan.

Huh?

This is great news.

You're from this world
like the rest of us.

You also bleed.

You're mortal too, you little sh*t.

This is blood.

Listen to me.

You'll find them all for me,
do you understand?

You'll find them all for me,
you piece of sh*t.

Let me be crystal clear.

I'll f*ck up each and every one
of those sons of b*tches

who had anything to do
with my son's m*rder!

But first, I'll feed
your greasy a*s to the dogs.

Do you understand?

[suspenseful music continues]

[wistful music playing]

[cane clangs]

[suspenseful music resumes]

[clucking]

[indistinct chatter]

[Deren] Mehmet? Hey!

What are you doing?

What are you doing? Huh?

What are you doing?

I'm already hurt because of you.
Do you want to hurt me even more? Huh?

Mehmet, listen. Come on.

If you're really going to hurt someone,

get ready for what
they'll do to you, all right?

You hear me?

Did you hear me?

Know this,
and act accordingly in this life.

[Aslı] Hey, hey, hey!

Come here. Come on. Okay.

Come on, Mehmet. Why don't you go home.

What are you doing, exactly?

For you doctors,
I guess the word is "therapy."

-Therapy?
-Mm-hmm.

He's been through trauma, Deren.

At this age, he lets it out through anger.
That's how it is.

Careful, or you could trigger his trauma.

I think what you're saying
might apply to normal children.

As you can see,
we don't have any normal sides left.

Your so-called normal means nothing here.

What I'm saying is science, so stop.

Forget about science.

I'm Mehmet Özbekli's daughter.

He's Kenan Görüklü's son.
Know what that means for us?

The cadavers you saw
in med school in your twenties,

we saw them when we were kids.

So you have no clue whatsoever.

Yes, I have no clue
because you've never been normal, Deren.

[laughs]

I've never been normal. Forget about me.

But what will happen to that kid
if he goes on like this?

What'll happen?

He'll be just like Haldun
who m*rder*d your boyfriend's sister.

The same. What will you say then?

Deren, let me tell you something.

You're a real f*cking psychopath.

We're all here in the first place
because of you.

Aslı.

Uh...

Well, Ozan is here because of me.

You can leave whenever you want.

Do you hear yourself, Deren?

Huh?

Do you even have the ability
to hear what you're saying?

You move your hands around a lot.

You gonna hit me? Come on. Go for it.
What are you waiting for?

Who's protecting you?
Who's got your back?

-What are you doing? Enough.
-I'm not shutting up, you little b*tch.

-Okay, calm down. Tell me what happened.
-[Aslı] Some maniac psychopath you are.

-Go on, open your mouth! Talk to me!
-Enough. Calm down now.

-Village atmosphere isn't good for her.
-Deren, what's going on?

-[Ozan] Aslı! That's enough!
-That's inappropriate.

We're guests in the village.

-What's going on, girl?
-Oh, come on.

Deren, there aren't enough th*gs
out there for you,

and so now you're picking
on normal people?

-Is that it?
-Kenan, nothing's going on.

That idiot is talking to me
like a normal person.

-She doesn't know I'd wreck her.
-Watch your words.

Don't say that.

Kenan, if that fool had half a brain,

she wouldn't be running her mouth
to a girl who takes b*ll*ts.

We've already got enough trouble,
haven't we?

For God's sake, Deren.

Damn, how the hell can she not
take after her father whatsoever?

Oh, I can't believe this.
For crying out loud.

-[Aslı] That b*tch is a maniac!
-[Ozan] All right, calm down, Aslı.

-She's a psychopath!
-Aslı--

I can't believe this. She's so shameless.

Like she had nothing to do
with all this f*cking mess she caused.

Aslı, I hear you,
but first we need to stay calm.

Stay calm? Ozan, do you really think
this is something we can be calm about?

You're right, Aslı. You're right.

-You've lost your composure, my love.
-I've lost my composure? Really?

Ozan, what the hell are we even
living through right now?

Kenan Görüklü is a mobster.
Deren is a complete psychopath.

Why are we even caught up
in all this with them, huh?

We don't know these people, Ozan!

Just a few months ago,
we had a very different life, Ozan.

Ozan! We were trying to save the lives
of the ones those people tried to k*ll.

So what the hell are we doing here now?

Come on, I said I understand, Aslı.
I know it's not easy.

But look, after we left,
they raided the neighborhood.

We got hit.
Did we have a choice, damn it?

What do you mean raided?

We would have died, Aslı.

They're after me.

All right, let's find my sister's body.

I'll take you out of here. Promise.

You trust me, right? Come here.

Come here.

I know you don't like it here,

and you don't want to stay here anymore.

What about you, Ozan?

Do you want to leave or maybe hang around?

[somber music playing]

[sinister music playing]

[goat bleating]

Doctor.

What happened?

You went against all
the mobsters in the country,

and here you couldn't handle
two women, right?

[Ozan] Kenan, for God's sake, handle her.

I'm afraid she'll do something to Aslı.

She's been saying strange things
about Mehmet too.

You'll protect your girlfriend.
I don't know about that.

But she won't do anything to Mehmet.

Kenan, come on, that girl has
the potential to do anything to anyone.

-What she said about Mehmet--
-Ozan.

Brother, listen. He'll be fine.

She won't do anything to Mehmet.

She's putting herself in Mehmet's shoes.

She went through the same things
growing up.

How, brother? I don't understand.

About 15 years ago, give or take,

her father, Mehmet was in his car
with his family when he got ambushed.

Deren was also in the car?

Deren, her father, and her mother.

Her younger brother was also in the car.

Yavuz. Great kid.

Mehmet and Deren survived.

But Deren's mother and Yavuz
didn't make it.

May they rest in peace.

Thank you, brother.

Imagine, this girl saw her mother k*lled,
and her brother suffer the same fate,

right in front of her eyes, Ozan.

Imagine being 13 or 14
and witnessing something like that.

It's not a burden you can bear.

Who m*rder*d them, brother?

Who'd hit a car with a woman
and a child inside?

It doesn't matter who did it.
Forget about that.

They're all dead anyway.

Deren couldn't get over it.
That's my point.

When Mehmet saw she couldn't get over it,
he then sent her to London.

Deren stayed there for years.

As soon as she was gone overseas,

it turned into a sea of blood.

The three of us: Mehmet, Rıza, and me,

we stood together and took our revenge.

We ended up
doing ten years together for it.

It's not easy, Doctor.

It's not easy.

When you look at people,
you don't always see what's wrong

or the kind of pain
they might be living through,

the things they choose to keep hidden.

[dramatic music playing]

Do you understand me now?

Give me a hug.

Should we sleep together tonight?

You'd like that?

Does it hurt?

That's brave of you.

Very brave of you.

[clucking]

[calming music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

[goats bleating]

Can you come with me?

I'll tell you everything.

Thank God.

Finally heard your voice.

[eerie string music playing]

Where are we going? Tell me what?

[sighs]

[sighs]

[dramatic music playing]

I know you, brother. From before.

From the news, you mean?

From the news. From the streets.

I used to be out on the streets.

I was running dirty deals.

One day, they found me by this lake.

Another seizure.

They thought I was dying.

When I came back to myself,

they put two paths in front of me.

Either repent and turn to God...

or you just walk away from here.

I chose repentance.

That's good, man.

They pulled you off this filthy path.
God bless them.

It wasn't thanks to them, brother.

It was thanks to you.

[dramatic music continues]

What's more...

thanks to your sister Gülten.

What are you talking about?

What does this have to do with my sister?

Brother, I was desperate.

I was desperate. I lost everything.

-The girl I loved left me--
-Hey, focus!

What the hell's my sister
got to do with this?

-Answer me.
-They stripped me of everything, brother.

Left me stuck in the gutter.
And I knew it was a sin every time.

-I swear--
-Man, is that what I'm asking you?

What the hell's my sister
got to do with this, for f*ck's sake?

I said, "God will forgive me."

I mean-- Okay, brother,
when I saw you in the news,

-you and Gülten--
-What did you do to my sister?!

The same thing happened
to the girl I loved.

I couldn't bear it, and I felt the blame.

What did you do?
What the hell did you do to my sister?

Gülten's buried there, brother!

[sobbing]

[somber music playing]

Brother, I swear she's there.

[breathing heavily]

Brother...

Brother, please forgive me!

[breathing heavily]

[panting]

[melancholic music playing]

[man] Brother, I tried so hard
to commit suicide.

But I couldn't because it's a sin.

[crying softly]

This is your right, brother.

k*ll me, for Allah's sake.

Put an end to my misery.

[sighs]

[sobs]

[somber music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

Ozan?

I found my sister.

[dramatic music playing]

Brother Kenan, I found my sister!

[sobbing]

I found my sister.

[crying]

I found my sister. I found her.

[crying] I found my sister.

My blood.

[breathing heavily]

I finally found her.
