we going to do with him?

Are we going to leave

him here like this?

Ouz!

If we had died, he would have

left us for the crows.

That's why we have to

prove we're different, no?

- Don't start again.

- History is full of wars.

I said, don't start again.

Because history is written

by the politicians who win them,

not by those who fight them.

Just look at this, Bekir.

At what? At the body?

It's a body, he's dead.

He tried to kill you, if I hadn't

killed him, he would have killed us.

It's that simple.

It's not that simple.

What if we had died?

They would have ignored you,

that's for sure.

It would be different for me since

very few short-termers die on duty.

You know what would

make me sad the most if I died?

My father crying as he buried me.

He has a father, too.

The son did what he did,

but what's the father's crime?

I can't think of anything

that would make me feel worse.

Isn't that strange?

We think the enemy is like us

only when he's dead.

You have no control over

your mouth, Bekir, I swear.

- As if you did.

- Of course I do.

I wouldn't use bad

language in front of a girl.

You should have been a gentleman,

I've told you many times.

You shouldn't have scared

her on the first day.

So what? F*** it.

It wasn't meant to be.

I wonder if I talked to her too soon?

But I'm leaving in a week.

We could have had a

cup of tea and talked,

it would have been so nice.

If her boss,

that a**hole, hadn't come.

Better this way.

It's cleaner right

from the start. I swear.

She'd have run away in two days,

when she realized

what a psycho you are.

Shut up, man, or I'll

smash your face in.

I would expect that of you.

You've gone completely berserk.

You know, this guy will

totally lose it in the army.

I bet he'll beat his superiors,

his service will never end.

You could try again

when you get back.

When I get back?

In two years she'll have had four

kids. They wouldn't leave her alone.

Alright then, f***ing kneel at

her feet and shout out, beg her...

Slo, turn it up, turn it up.

Because you were the

rain on my desert

You were the day to my night

You were the companion to my soul

You were the blanket for my winter

I'm going to miss you guys.

I swear I'm going to miss you.

- He's completely drunk.

- Drunk?

You don't really know me, man.

You don't know the real Bekir.

F*** off! We know you

down to your liver, man.

The other day, I was walking home.

I saw a bug on the sidewalk.

I didn't step on it, just kept going.

Then I thought about it

and went back.

- Did you ask it for a date, too?

- No, man! I swear, listen!

I thought, which is better,

to walk by without stepping on it,

or go back and help it?

I went back. I picked it up and

took it to a bush across the street.

And I said to it, "This is

what I can do for you."

I can't do anything else.

May God help you for the rest."

Oh.

You said that to the bug?

Don't get hung up on that.

Sometimes we have

problems with people.

You did well.

It was interesting, though.

You know, deep down,

this guy got something.

Then I thought to myself,

maybe it wanted to commit suicide.

Because it was sitting

in the middle of the road.

Whatever, either way,

it was a good act.

Never mind, Papa Bekir.

You did well. Let's keep drinking!

You were the companion to my soul

You were the blanket for my winter

Hello?

It's me. What's up?

Ouz?

When I get back

I'll make fun of myself.

But I'm calling you anyway.

I'm glad you did. How are you?

Aren't you celebrating?

No!

They just gave us soda

in a plastic cup.

And we'll go to bed

a bit late, that's all.

What are you doing?

We're going out.

I'm not going to ask who 'we' is.

Don't.

You miss every damn thing here.

I miss the sound of

high heeled shoes.

I miss peaches.

I mean the fruit.

I got that.

I fantasize that someone cuts me

up a whole big bowl of peaches,

or I could cut them up and

dip them in ice and eat them.

I guess it's not

cold enough over there.

That's not the point!

The point is... whatever.

Why are you calling me?

You miss me, too?

Of course, I do.

Ouz, I'm with someone...

I don't want to know anything.

You're not my girlfriend.

I just wanted to hear your voice,

I had nothing else to do.

When you get back, you'll hear

plenty of voices, don't worry.

Take it easy, be cool, it's very

boring here, believe me.

Alright, then, I'm hanging up.

Take good care of yourself

over there, okay?

I was the happiest

when I was with you.

What? What are you saying?

Pelin...

This place is a whole different thing.

The loneliness here is like a drug.

Otherwise I wouldn't be doing this.

Thank you, you're very kind.

Did you hear what I said?

Yes.

Happy new year, then, have fun.

Bye.

Alright, I'm done, just a second.

Sergeant Ouz?

Yes, sir.

What are you doing here, my boy?

I just had to call someone, sir.

Your parents? Did you

wish them a happy New Year?

No, sir, my ex... I mean,

I called a friend.

Come with me.

You don't have the

night watch, do you?

No, sir, not tomorrow either.

I am on the

five-to-seven these two days.

Sit down.

Evet.

This is just between us, Ouz.

I'll give you only one glass anyway.

Because you're so sad.

Thank you, sir.

Here you are.

Memories, my dear Ouz.

Memories are the most

important things in life.

That's true, sir.

I lost my wife three years ago.

A car accident.

My condolences, sir.

I never felt like remarrying.

It's so tough to be

married to a soldier.

I didn't want to put another

woman through the same pain.

This is like a whole

different world, sir.

I sometimes have

trouble keeping up.

Everybody does, Ouz.

Not only me, even the commanders,

even the Special Forces.

The main thing is,

to accomplish the mission

no matter what.

Why do a hundred men

keep watch on the hills?

They tell us,

to leave the mountains and take care

of the cities and the fields.

But that mountain, Ouz.

The mountain is the

crown of the land.

It's the closest place to the sky.

I have rejected my city

assignment three times, Ouz.

Thanks to the commander,

he keeps me here.

You know why?

No, sir.

Here, my memories

always stay fresh.

Don't run away from your memories.

They make you who you are.

Thank you, sir.

Go on, then.

Join your friends.

Run, run, run!

Quick, take cover!

What's going on, man?

F***!

There are at least

twenty of them around us.

- Bekir, we have to dig. Come on.

- What?!

We have to dig in the snow, Bekir.

They'll see our jackets immediately.

Come on!

Hurry up! Dig, dig!

Go in. I'll lie on the rocks.

Shhh, they're coming, Shhhh.

Bekir.

Bekir, don't.

Bekir, they're gone.

Come on, come on.

Quickly!

Stop. It's enough.

I'm tired. Let's rest.

There's not much left. That rock

should be the Wolf's Tooth.

Should? What do you mean, should?

According to the map, that's it.

Look.

I think the sun at noon is to the

south in the northern hemisphere.

We went east.

That rock should be the Wolf's Tooth.
