FUAT AKINCI
ATTORNEY-AT-LAW

[indistinct echoing]

[echoing continues]

Fuat?

Sheesh.

[siren wailing in distance]

[people chattering indistinctly]

- [indistinct echoes]
- [panting]

[coughing]

[rock music plays]

- Don't you think you should slow down?
- [exhales deeply]

Come on. Pour me another.

Argh.

Aren't you that lawyer from TV?

- Pour.
- Man, I saw you on TV the other day.

[chuckles]

What's your name again?

Fuat Akınci. Fuat Akınci is your name.

[sighs]

[bartender] Wow, man.

[children playing]

[Selin clicks tongue, sighs]

Nope, I don't understand a thing.

There are so many topics.
How will I memorize them all?

You can do it, what's the big deal?

I can't focus, Ceyda. I can't concentrate.

- [sighs] I'm f*cked.
- [Ceyda] You're overreacting, Selin.

Just take it easy.
Is it really that important?

Of course it is.

So, you're saying your mom
will be upset if you fail?

Don't make fun of me.

Want to clear your head?

Do you want to focus?

Then leave it to me.

You'll memorize everything, don't worry.

Who are you calling?

A friend from my old school.

[Ceyda] Hello? Hi, how are you?

I'm good too.
[sighs] I need to ask you for a favor.

[bartender] With all due respect, Fuat,

I think you were wrong
about that proposed law.

Now, are there penalties
for every crime in the book?

There are. That's good. Very good.

But are they enforced?
They're not enforced.

That lady?

You know the one I mean.

You're wearing her on your jacket.

She has a sword in one hand
and a scale in the other.

Does she use the sword
and the scales properly?

No, she doesn't.

For example,
you know that famous businessman's son

who got behind the wheel drunk
and ran over and k*lled a little boy?

What happened in that case? What happened?

His father hired an army of lawyers.

They did at fault calculations,
blah, blah, blah.

They found the kid was at fault.

Thanks to good behavior and other things,

the guy served three years in prison
and got out.

[Fuat sighs]

Now, man,
if I was that little kid's father,

if I shot that guy in the head
and k*lled him, what would happen, man?

What would happen?
What would happen to me?

I'd be a m*rder*r. I'd get life in prison.

Is that justice, man? Is that justice?

That b*stard is entitled to
a reduced sentence but I'm not?

This is on the house.

Here! There you go! Look at this!

They blew him up. He's in pieces.

Head on one side, limbs on the other.

Look at this! They're murderers!
Murderers! Sons of b*tches!

[clicks tongue] You know the GOF,
you know, the Global Orphanage Foundation?

It's a foundation
to help orphaned children.

This man was its founder.

Who do you think the k*ller is?

[bartender] What did they want
from this great man? g*dd*mn them!

Let me get my hands on these t*rrorists.

I wouldn't k*ll them with bombs.
I'd strangle them with my bare hands!

I'll tear them to pieces! Sons of b*tches!

Am I right? Say something!
Am I right, bro?

Shut the f*ck up!

Fuat, bro?

[birds chirping]

[phone ringing]

Hello, Mr. Fuat.

Yes, Commissioner.

[Bülent] Yes.

We need to talk.

Sure, let's talk.

TAXI

What'd he say?

- He says we need to talk.
- About what?

I told you that there's something wrong
with this guy. Didn't I?

Ceyda, can we forget about this?

Selin, don't start again.

[people shouting]

Wait here.

[no audible dialogue]

- Ceyda.
- Hmm?

- We'll be fine if we take this, right?
- Yeah.

Selin!

I've been on the psychiatrist's meds
for two weeks. If the two mix...

Selin, dear, how many times
do I have to tell you?

That's a prescription drug. So is this.

It's not like you're on hard drugs
or anything.

You'll study better.
You'll be able to concentrate better.

That's what will happen.

It's not like you're going down
the wrong path or anything.

[cell phone chimes]

- [knocking on door]
- [Bülent] Come in.

Welcome, Mr. Fuat.

Hello.

Please, have a seat.

- Would you like something to drink?
- No.

Actually, let me get a coffee.

- Coffee? How do you take it?
- Black.

Black.

- [phone beeps]
- [Bülent] One coffee, black.

[sighs]

[grunts] I'm sorry, I've been drinking.
My head.

Yes, we're listening.

Okay.

[exhales sharply] Well…

I don't know how to say this.

It might sound a bit ridiculous.

This may sound made-up…

But it's true.

There's an organization.

A g*ng.

I don't know if it's an organization.

What organization?

How do I know? Some organization.

[sighs]

They see everything.

They hear.

They listen.

They follow.

They have men. Everywhere.

Oh, they said the famous lawyer,
Fuat Akınci, was here.

I thought I'd say hello.

Superintendent Adnan.

Welcome. How are you?
I hope things get better.

Thanks.

So how are you, Mr. Fuat?

We haven't seen much of you on TV lately.

[chuckles]

Since we have you here,
let's take a selfie, shall we?

[grunts] Please, continue.

Mr. Fuat, you were saying something
about an organization?

They see, and they know everything…

- Is that right?
- Yes.

- And?
- [sighs]

- They made me...
- [cell phone chimes]

Excuse me.

They have somehow…

[laughs]

[Adnan] And now we have these.

What do they call them? "Emiji"? Emoji?
They call it something like that.

You know it too, Mr. Fuat.

You know, the smiley face.

[Bülent] Mr. Fuat.

Mr. Fuat.

Mr. Fuat. There's an organization…
They were trying to reach you…

[knocking on door]

[door opens]

Bring it here, son.
Bring it, bring it, bring it.

[sighs]

[Bülent] Yes.

[spits]

[breathes deeply]

[Bülent] Mr. Fuat.
You said they have people everywhere.

Are they trying to reach you? What?

[Bülent] To do what to you?
What's going on?

Yes?

What?

I'm just talking crazy. [Chuckles]

Nonsense.

I'm sorry.

This whole thing, I've been a bit
out of my head for the past few weeks.

I'm talking nonsense, like I said.

I…

Actually came to talk about Doruk Sezgin.

Doruk Sezgin?

Yes.

Doruk Sezgin.

You... You asked me if I saw him.

- Huh?
- I saw him. I think I saw him.

I think I saw him at the restaurant
on my daughter's birthday.

Could you check the cameras, please?

You could have told me that
over the phone.

Did you really need to come here,
Mr. Fuat? Huh?

Oh. Yeah, right.

I was actually…

In the area, and I thought I'd ask
how the case was going.

If there was any progress.

The file is still open because
your daughter couldn't identify him.

The investigation is ongoing.
We're looking into it.

Right.

Thank you. Thanks.

Mr. Fuat.

It was a pleasure to meet you.

- See you around.
- [door opens]

[door closes]

[cell phone chimes]

Life has but one purpose: Death!
Only then do our memories come to an end.

[sighs]

Do you have any water?

Nope.

Slow down.

[grunts]

[grunts]

- [spits]
- What did you do?

[pants]

[retches]

[grunts]

[car engine starts]

[knocking on door]

Come in.

What's up, Bülent?

TURKISH POLICE FORCE

Chief,
I want to talk to you about something.

Okay, go ahead.

This Mr. Fuat Akınci…

Yes?

You saw him.

I mean, the way he was talking
and moving around.

It was weird. Suspicious.

His young daughter was r*ped.
So, he's a bit shaken.

I don't think it's that simple, chief.

I want your permission to follow him.

This man has something
to do with the m*rder.

What do you mean?

[Bülent] The man who attacked
his daughter was k*lled.

Now he's here saying something
about an organization.

I believe this man
is involved in the m*rder, chief.

On what grounds will you follow him?

What?

I'm asking on what grounds are you going
to make a public servant follow a lawyer?

You can't just say you have a bad feeling.

If you have a solid reason, fine.

But if not, they'll have our heads.

He's a famous lawyer.

Chief, the man...

Come on, Bülent, I have a lot to do.
Come on, I can't deal with this now.

[sighs]

You'll follow every step he takes.
Don't leave him alone for a minute.

Okay.

- Did Chief Adnan give his permission?
- Chief Adnan…

We'll be dead in the water
if we're at Chief Adnan's mercy.

You do as I say.

Okay.

[voice mail] The person you are calling
cannot be reached. Please try...

[sighs]

[Ceyda] Ready?

Here, take one.

On the count of three, at the same time.

- One, two...
- Ceyda, stop!

- What's wrong?
- Nothing bad will happen, right?

How many times do I have to tell you?

You just won't sleep, your mind will work
faster, and you'll have more energy.

- That's all that's gonna happen.
- Okay. Okay, okay.

- Don't chicken out.
- I won't.

- One, two…
- One, two, swallow.

[giggles] Are you okay?

- I'm fine.
- [laughs]

[knocking on door]

Ceyda, my mom's here!
Ceyda, what are we going to do?

Selin, okay, calm down.

What's with all this tripping
like you're in some soap opera?

[knocking on door]

Come on, sit down.

Wait, don't open it!

Okay, open it.

What are you girls doing? You're so quiet.

[chuckles] What can we say, Auntie Hülya?
We're hitting the books.

Come on. Dinner's ready.

We can't stop for dinner now.
Isn't that right, Selin?

What?

No, we'll get distracted
if we take a break.

- We're focused right now.
- How can that be, without eating?

We'll make ourselves something after.
Don't worry.

[chuckles] Okay, fine.

Let me know when you're hungry.
I'll bring you something.

- Okay.
- Selin.

Yeah?

Have you talked
to your father at all today?

- No, why?
- I can't get a hold of him on his phone.

I haven't talked to him either.

Anyway, good luck studying.

[Ceyda] Thank you.

- [Selin] Gosh!
- [laughs]

How scared were you?

I was so scared, Ceyda, don't laugh.

[laughs] Come on, Einstein.
Bring the books. Let's get started.

[phone ringing]

YOU ARE IN OUR HEARTS

[ringing continues]

- Hello?
- [Arda] What's up, Hülya?

- What are you doing?
- It's fine. Whatever.

So why don't you call or ask about me?

Anyway, let me speak to Fuat.
I tried to call, but I can't reach him.

His phone's off. I need to talk to him.

Isn't he at the office?
I couldn't reach him either.

- No, he left at noon and never came back.
- How come?

Did something happen to him? Where is he?

Nah, what could possibly happen to him?
Don't panic.

You know he's been a bit upset lately.

He wanted to be alone.

- He wanted to take a breather.
- Okay, let him take a time-out,

but why would he turn off his phone?

Well, Hülya, sometimes I want to turn
this thing off, but what can you do?

Anyway, okay, we'll keep in touch then.

[phone lock clicks]

[sighs]

- [crickets chirping]
- [door opens]

[door closes]

[door closes]

[lock clicks]

What are you doing, Fuat?

Where are you going?

- We'll talk later.
- How can we talk later?

I've been calling you all day!
Your phone was off. I couldn't reach you!

You come in the middle of the night,
break in like a thief,

pack up your stuff and leave!
What's going on?

I can't tell you now. Okay?

- I'll tell you later.
- No, you'll tell me now, Fuat. Now!

I told you, darling,
I've got a difficult case.

The Mafia won't let me go.
They're following me.

I don't want to stay at home right now
and put you in danger. Okay?

Drop the case. Why are you so insistent?
Get off the case.

- [clicks tongue] I can't get out.
- Why?

Why can't you get out?

Why is it only you running away?
Why isn't Arda running away?

It's my case.

Arda doesn't know anything.

Hülya.

Arda doesn't need to know anything. Okay?

He doesn't need to know anything.
Let's keep it between us.

Okay?

[gasps]

Can you see what's happened
to our lives in two weeks?

First Selin, now this case!
What's going on with us? Huh…

[sighs] What's going on, Fuat?

I don't understand!

Are you lying to me?

Are you hiding something from me?

Are you lying?

No. This is what it is.

Okay? It's what I say it is.

Believe me.

Don't! [Sighs]

[sighs]

[door closes]

[crickets chirping]

[Ceyda] Uncle Fuat?

I stole one of the cigarettes
you keep for guests.

Don't tell Aunt Hülya
that I smoked this, okay?

She gets really angry about cigarettes.

You?

Going on a business trip?

Ah, to the gym.

At this hour?

Selin…

She's lucky to have a father like you.

Good night, Uncle Fuat.
Good luck with everything.

[door opens]

[door opens, closes]

[Fuat] Good evening.

This is Superintendent Bülent
from the Istanbul police department.

I need to report an accident
to the lady staying in room 1128.

Ms. Ece. Ms. Ece.
Can I speak to Ms. Ece, please?

Uh, she's in the lobby right now.
One second, I'll get her.

- Ms. Ece.
- Yes?

FUNERAL CEREMONY
HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED

- [types]
- [laptop beeps]

Refik Paşa cemetery noon prayer

[birds chirping]

[praying]

[praying continues]

[mourner] Are you here for Mr. Selim too?

Did you know him?

I mean, not really.

What does it mean to know someone,
though, right?

It's just a saying.

I mean, you can only think
that you know someone.

Nobody knows the truth about anybody,
who they really are.

People think about stuff like this
when they come to a cemetery.

Emotions always get between us
and what we see.

And then everything gets blurred.

Nothing is what it seems.

I'm sorry, I got carried away.

I think I was affected by the funeral.

I'm guessing you knew him?

Mr. Selim?

Yes.

I grew up in an orphanage.

Every month he would come to the orphanage
with his arms full of presents.

We were so happy when we saw him.
So happy.

One day, we saw the whole Fenerbahce team
standing right in front of us.

They were holding signed jerseys.

It was a wonderful day.

That's how I learned that everything
has two sides, you know?

That everyone has both good
and bad in them, for example.

Both light and darkness.

Both black and white.

The question is deciding
which one to choose.

Power of Attorney

[mourner] How do we know
if the other person is black or white?

Who shows us their true colors?

Their light.

Only those who are very perceptive

Like you.
You seem like a very perceptive person.

All this I learned…

From Mr. Selim…

When I was still a child.

With a very painful lesson.

You did the right thing.
