THE CHOICE
Mr. Sefa.
If there is a problem, I need to know.
[grunting]
Did you do it?
[grunting]
Of course I didn't.
It wasn't you, right?
Would I ever do such a thing?
[chuckles]
Fuat, you have to sort this out.
Do whatever it takes. Get me out of here.
[groans]
[panting]
- [groaning]
- [door closes]
- [lock clicks]
- [groans]
[groaning continues]
Help!
Help!
Help!
[cell phone chimes]
[pounds]
Help!
[breathing heavily]
Get me out of here!
Anybody there?
[screams]
[screams]
Is this where you live?
What? Not up to your standards?
No. It's amazing.
We come here occasionally.
How many places do you have?
We have a few.
Come, let me show you the garden.
This place is so sweet.
Hmm. It sure is.
[cell phone rings]
Is that Auntie Hülya?
[sighs]
[sighs deeply] She must be so worried.
We should have told her
that we're okay at least.
Why bother?
- She has no say after what she's done.
- [cell phone ringing]
- Huh. She's calling me now.
- Don't answer.
I'm telling you, Ceyda.
I can't even stand to hear her voice.
[sighs deeply]
- I really don't get it.
- [ringing continues]
How could she do this to us?
[ringing stops]
- Where's the toilet?
- Hmm?
I need to use the toilet.
Uh, wait here.
The thing is, we haven't been here for
a while. I'd better check if it's clean.
Nothing less for our princess here.
[cell phone chimes]
First door on the left through the hallway
[cell phone chimes]
Not that one, the next door
I've done everything you asked for
until now.
Show yourself. How am I supposed to
deal with her on my own?
[cell phone chimes]
Hang in there. Not long now!!
[cell phone chimes]
Wait for further instructions!
Here, Selin.
It's through there, on the left.
[exhales sharply]
Selin, where are you?
[exhales sharply]
[exhales sharply]
[cell phone ringing]
- [phone ringing]
- [exhales sharply]
[line disconnects]
[operator] The person you are calling
cannot be reached at the moment.
You can leave your message after the beep.
Terms and conditions apply.
[line beeps]
[gasps] Arda, Selin is gone!
She texted me saying she left the house!
I don't know what to do or where she is!
[sighs]
[sighs]
Hey!
Hey!
Anybody there?
[screams]
[screams]
Ugh! [Panting]
[cell phone chimes]
Don't waste your breath.
No one can save you, but you.
THE ONLY WAY OUT
IS REMEMBERING!!!
[cell phone chimes]
[people chattering]
She's so young.
It's terrible she's suffered this.
Defending someone like him
can't be easy for you.
Is there a verdict that I'm not aware of,
Ms. Prosecutor?
What about innocent till proven guilty?
[cell phone chimes]
[Fuat] You cannot interpret the laws in
your own way. If we take justice out of
the realm of the law, if we make it
a matter of individual revenge…
What happened, Mr. Justice? You were there
for Sefa Levendoğlu but why not for Doruk?
- …we begin to swim in dangerous waters.
- God damn it!
God damn it!
[panting]
[mutters]
I proved it.
Oh, my God.
But I proved his innocence.
I won the case.
I proved Sefa Levendoğlu's innocence.
I won the case.
I won the case! I did!
Argh!
[person] He kept me occupied
until everyone left the office.
Then he called me to his office.
Could you ask the date?
"On which date
did he call you to his office?"
Do you recall the date
he asked you into his office, Gizem?
Okay. Can you try to remember?
But please don't be
too hard on yourself, okay?
A precise date would help us so much.
June.
Yes, June…
I don't remember the exact date.
[Gizem] Schools had broken up for summer.
I'd started working at the company
for some extra money.
Did he want you to work there?
No.
I wanted to.
I had told my dad.
And my dad had asked him a favor.
He agreed.
[psychiatrist] I see.
What were you doing there exactly?
[Fuat speaks indistinctly] …the driver.
I'll have the contracts sent
so you can take a look.
- [knocks]
- I agree. We should seal the deal.
Okay. They should be signed ASAP.
Come.
- [Fuat] Thanks.
- [Gizem] Enjoy it.
Thank you. You can clear that too.
So, Gizem?
How are you? Is everything okay?
Mm-hmm.
[door closes]
[Sefa] She's my driver's daughter.
I've known her since she was a child.
[inhales sharply]
[psychiatrist] So,
this incident we've been talking about,
how long did it go on for?
Well…
A few months.
How long did it last exactly?
I mean, was it a month or two?
All summer.
[psychiatrist] Was there no one else
at the office on those occasions?
Sometimes, but…
Okay. Then…
Did you ever try to resist him, Gizem?
Did you ask anyone for help?
Or did you tell anyone about this?
Gizem.
Did you say no?
No.
[psychiatrist] Why not?
I don't know. I was terrified.
[psychiatrist] I understand.
- [Gizem sighs]
- [psychiatrist] Okay…
Over these few months…
How many times…
Did he call you into his office?
[breathing deeply]
[speaks indistinctly]
[groans]
[panting]
God... God damn you.
God damn...
- …you! He's lying! I swear he's lying!
- Ma'am. That's enough. Please.
[crying] This is slander!
My daughter is still so young!
- This is ridiculous! He's lying!
- That's enough. This is a courtroom.
- It's all a lie!
- Please see her out of the room.
Let go! Enough!
Counselor! I hope you suffer like me!
I hope you suffer the same before you die!
- Please. This is a court hearing.
- I hope! [Shouts indistinctly]
- Please.
- What are you doing? Come on, now!
[people chattering]
[exhales sharply, clears throat]
Right. Yes, Your Honor.
The forensics report is clear.
There is no evidence of r*pe.
More so, the prosecutor's statement goes
against the natural course of events.
Is it possible for the victim to forget
or get confused
after such a terrible incident?
[Selin] I-I'm not sure.
I can't remember. It was so dark.
[Fuat]
Please take a good look. Look carefully.
- I don't remember, Dad.
- [panting]
[sniffs]
[sighs]
[clicks tongue]
No answer. [Sighs]
Should I call the office?
Don't. He doesn't want to be found.
That's the first place the police
will look. Why would he go there?
- Do you have a better idea, Ceyda?
- Fine, Selin. No need to get angry.
[line ringing]
- Hello.
- Hello. Hi there, Bahar. It's Selin.
Hello, Selin.
[Selin] I wonder if you had any news
about my father. I'm worried.
Maybe he came by the office.
- No. Actually, the last time…
- Bahar.
Welcome, Ms. Hülya.
[Hülya] Uh, hello.
I was wondering if Mr. Arda was here.
One moment, Selin.
Mr. Arda is out of the country.
- He left this morning.
- Is that Selin?
Selin, where are you?
Dad found out, didn't he?
That's why he left.
I said, where are you?
[Selin] What kind of a person are you?
How can you still be chasing after Arda?
Tell me where you are!
- You mean nothing to me.
- Selin!
Selin!
For the love of God! [Exhales sharply]
[wheezing]
[coughing, gasping]
[gasping]
[groans]
[groaning]
[cell phone chimes]
[Patience.
We have a soccer game to chant to:]
[judge] Welcome, Gizem.
You're safe here.
There is nothing to be afraid of
or feel uncomfortable about.
Now I will be asking you some questions.
If you are unsure of the answer,
please feel free to tell me.
You need to know
that we're all here for you.
Okay?
Now think carefully.
Is there nothing you remember
regarding that two-month ordeal?
There was a soccer game.
[judge] Go on.
Supporters were chanting
as they walked outside the building.
So, Mr. Sefa. Do you remember where
you were on the evening of June 25th?
June 25th?
The national team was playing. Does that
jog your memory? Did you watch the game?
- Were you at the office?
- Huh.
I wasn't. [Exhales deeply]
- You weren't at the office?
- Mm-mmm.
Do you have an alibi?
Yes. I do, but…
But what?
[sighs deeply]
[Arda] Well, uh…
We have these parties at Mr. Sefa's ranch
once a month or two.
Sometimes they can get crowded.
Sometimes, you know…
What, Mr. Arda? Please explain.
Sometimes… They're more private.
[judge] Speak Turkish, sir.
[Arda sighs] I mean,
closed circuit parties with fewer people.
Like the one on the 25th.
Just like that one.
I was there. He was too.
Who else was present?
Who else? Uh… There were women.
Uh…
[speaking indistinctly]
[no audible dialogue]
[no audible dialogue]
[no audible dialogue]
[no audible dialogue]
[gasps]
We have to go there? What?
Isn't this too much?
[typing]
[cell phone chimes]
It will all be over soon.
Follow the instructions!
Who are you? Where are you?
[distant thumping]
[distant thumping]
[thumping]
[thumping continues]
[thumping grows louder]
[thumping continues]
[thumping]
[loud thumping]
[Selin] Dad?
Dad?
[Selin] Dad!
- [whispers] Dad.
- [gasps]
Come here.
- Come on. Come.
- Selin?
- Baby.
- Come on.
[sobs] Go. Get away.
- What are you doing here? Air.
- Give me your hand.
- Give me your hand.
- Baby.
Oh, air! Air.
- [Fuat] My dear.
- [Selin] Come.
- [groans]
- Try just a little more.
- Reach out.
- Baby.
- Come on, just a little more. Do it.
- [groans]
- Reach out.
- Come on, Dad.
- Give me your hand.
- Try a little more.
[groans]
I can't do it. Who is that? Stop! Selin!
[groaning]
[gasps]
Help.
Help me.
Please. Hey!
[cell phone chimes]
Go downstairs. Hurry!!
- [Selin] Psst!
- [gasps]
- [chuckles]
- Selin, you scared the hell out of me!
Look what I found.
Come on.
Selin. [Groans]
Selin… Selin… Selin!
[cell phone chimes]
Courtroom victory must feel great,
right FUAT AKINCI?
[judge] Verdict.
[judge]
Considering the defendant's cooperation,
the lack of evidence against him,
and no risk of escape
or obstructing evidence,
the court has decided
to continue the trial on bail,
subject to judicial control measures
pursuant to Article 100 of the Penal Code.
[prosecutor] Mr. Fuat!
I hope you're aware
that you just saved a monster.
Is that so? I didn't know.
Oh, come on, Mr. Fuat!
If you feel nothing about what that girl
has gone through, you're either stupid or…
- [sighs]
- Heartless? Is that the word?
Yes, you won back in there.
But not because you're fair.
Because you have clout.
Do you know what happened in there,
Ms. Prosecutor?
Let me spell it out for you.
You failed to prove my client was guilty.
I proved his innocence.
That's what happened in there.
Plain and simple.
- [gasps]
- [cell phone chimes]
[fans clapping]
It wasn't a national game
that Gizem heard…
It was the drunken supporters
of the local team
on their way to another game
three days later…
[fans cheering]
[cell phone chimes]
You chose to look away, Counselor!!
[cell phone chimes]
You believed what you preferred!!
[Selin] Dad has walked out.
The police are after him.
Mom behaves like the guardian of morals
while cheating on him with his associate.
[laughs]
[laughs] Some perfect family picture.
Drinking doesn't improve
the picture though.
What is there to improve?
What is there to fix?
I'm going to live the life I want to.
Everyone else seems to be doing so.
[Ceyda] Hmm.
Selin is not taking this well.
Please, is there no other way?
[cell phone chimes]
Do as you are told!!!
Ceyda.
Who is this?
My sister.
You have a sister?
She passed away two years ago.
I'm so sorry, Ceyda.
Anyway.
Come on,
let's change the mood a little, eh?
Look what I have.
Are they the ones we had before?
Double the fun.
Let's have fun then.
Listen.
There's a great party nearby.
An old friend texted me.
It's a private party, fancy dress and all.
- Shall we go?
- Sure.
Or forget it. A bunch of strangers.
Ceyda! Stop talking like my mom.
Come on, let's go.
Um, where's your room?
[Ceyda] Well, it's upstairs.
- [Selin] No, I meant your dressing room.
- [Ceyda] Oh, right.
[wheezing]
[cell phone chimes]
It was your ideas that brought this curse,
Fuat AKINCI!!!
[Sefa] What's on your mind?
Mr. Sefa.
Now, this goes beyond the case.
Well, it is linked to the case, but…
You're affiliated with this family.
The guy was your driver for years, right?
They have suffered so much lately.
He lost his job.
[birds squawking]
[Fuat] I'll cut to the chase.
We have witnesses,
and yes, we have the upper hand.
Let's play it safe. It might not be enough
to convince the judge.
Would you consider
giving the family a donation?
Of course, on the condition
that the girl keeps quiet.
They might think of moving away,
go back to where they came from
and start a new life.
It's not going to be easy for them
after this. Let's play it safe, eh?
At least they can leave behind a battle
that they can never win.
Are you sure it will work?
Mr. Sefa,
every hearing is a loss of reputation.
Who knows how long this will drag on?
A year, maybe two.
Hearing after hearing,
being accused with such allegations…
I don't think this is the way forward
for a businessman like yourself.
Let's give them money.
Fine.
Let's go ahead.
This is the right thing to do, trust me.
[cell phone chimes]
[groans]
Mr. Hüseyin,
you have little chance
of winning this case.
The reports, the witnesses,
and the statements are not in your favor.
I know how hard this must be for you.
I have a daughter myself.
We know everything, Counselor.
Cut to the chase and speak up.
Hear me out.
Considering your former affiliation…
Mr. Sefa is offering you compensation.
All we ask is for your daughter
to withdraw the allegation
at the next hearing.
Believe me,
this sum will change your life.
[Hüseyin] Failing to protect your child…
Do you have any idea what that feels like?
That b*stard can give all he wants,
it won't change what he did.
What's his offer?
Gizem! Come here!
Gizem took the money not because she was
guilty, but because she was helpless…
[cell phone chimes]
[Gizem's mother speaking indistinctly]
[sobbing]
And she committed suicide two days later…
[sobbing continues]
[sobs]
[Gizem's mother] My child!
[police radio chatter]
[Hüseyin] My baby.
My baby.
[Hüseyin] My daughter died
because of you, son of a b*tch!
You k*lled my daughter!
She died because of you!
[Hüseyin sobs]
She died so young! She was only a child!
God damn you!
God damn you! He's lying!
I swear he's lying! This is slander!
My daughter is still so young!
This is ridiculous!
Counselor! Counselor!
I hope you suffer like me!
I hope you suffer the same before you die!
[wailing]
[psychiatrist] Did you ever try
to resist him? Did you say no?
How many times did he call you
into his office? For how long?
[Gizem's mother] I hope!
[prosecutor] Yes, you won back in there.
But not because you're fair.
- Because you have clout.
- [Gizem's mother] I hope!
Fuat. Would I ever do such a thing?
I have a wife…
- …and children. Please.
- [psychiatrist] Did you say no?
- [Hüseyin] Failing to protect your child…
- [Gizem's mother] I hope!
[g*n trigger clicking]
[wheezing]
[cell phone chimes]
[groans]
We're not done yet…
[cell phone chimes]
[dance music playing]
[dance music playing]
[performer singing]
[dance music continues]
[dance music continues]
[sobs]
[screaming]
[cell phone chimes]
[distorted sound]
