Alaykumu as- salm.

Are you Turkish soldiers?

- We are.

- Prepare qelyanalti, move it.

Qelyanalti?

What is that?

Afternoon breakfast.

Would be rude to refuse, right?

I agree.

Only fighter left in our village is Boran.

Go speak to him.

- Welcome.

- Hello.

How many in this village, Boran?

25 adults, 15 children.

Im the only one who

can carry a weapon, sir.

Gentlemen, rest without bothering anyone..

Last stop before returning home.

You can rest in my home. Come.

Dont stay out. Come in.

Thanks, we are being a burden.

Dont you mention it commander.

The children here dream

of becoming Turkish soldiers.

We grow up with your tales.

- Your Turkish is great, Boran.

- I went to school in Gaziantep.

Before the war my father

used to import from Turkey.

The cobblestones on the village

square were his goods.

After he died we never got to finish.

If you dont mind me asking,

what happened your leg?

When those animals attacked

Talafar three years ago...

...we went to defend as a family.

I got one on the knee.

Commander, these lands were

the most fertile around Sinjar.

Wheat and fruit used to grow

here.

After the war all were ruined.

Ottomans used to called this place

Turkmenreach.

Nothing to reach anymore.

Were surrounded. Like an island

on a sea of arabs and kurds.

Storm Bringer...

662 Tamu Cizre.

This is Storm Bringer.

Our new call sign, 923 Mountain.

Mountain, your signal is weak,

but copy that.

662 Tamu Cizre.

Mountain standing by.

Mountain, this is Wolf. Veysel?

I am here, sir.

Terrorists crushed both Iraqi army

and the kurds. The region is falling.

Their main battalion, 100 strong are

pillaging towards the last village.

Are you ready for extraction?

Which village?

ardakl.

Arrival noon tomorrow.

LZ confirmation.Exit before dawn. Over.

I know commander.

Let us see you off unharmed,

that alone is enough.

Lt. Colonel, this is a Shia village.

- I know.

Will you listen to me one minute?

Veysel!

They will kill slaughter everyone here.

Our mission is not to defend them.

- The mission isnt the issue here.

- The mission is the entire issue!

My own feelings and desires are

of no consequence.

The mission is the only issue.

In your world, your sense of

responsibility means idealism.

An altruistic dream of helping everyone.

In mine its to keep my men alive,

whom I love like family...

...these brave, few men.

The entire issue is the mission.

No, sir.

The issue here, is

what bravery really is.

Bravery is not killing the enemy, or

defending borders drawn on a map.

There is only one righteous

reason for bravery in war.

And that is defending the innocent.

That war is coming commander.

That war is coming here.

Does this village deserve it?

Do these people deserve that fate?

Say something.

Enegl come here.

Come, dear.

Tell her.

Tell her so she knows.

Say "Were leaving".

Say "There wont be a single living

person here, tomorrow afternoon.

What will they do to this girl, sir?

Tell her, so she knows.

Tell her!

If courage is leaving this girl,

and all the villagers to their fate...

...I would rather be a coward.

You can keep on being brave.

Sir? What are you doing here?

It was crowded, I wanted some fresh air.

What are you yourself doing out?

Youre a married man now.

I was looking for you, dumbass.

Cmon, it was my mothers dying wish,

We have to make my dad dance.

Cmon.

Where is Ece by the way?

We broke up.

Why man?

No idea.

I guess 2 years with me,

is like 20 years with you.

You know, I dont have many friends.

Actually I only have one.

Thank God though, I get to

observe this one idiot.

This guy thinks too much, Ouz.

More he thinks, more he fucks up.

He thinks hes alone.

But he aint.

He needs to know this.

- This friend of yours?

- Exactly.

Ill tell him, if I see him.

Bro, they told me a ring might

cause problems during a jump.

We came up with this solution.

Respect, man.

3 years ago you said youd get married.

Here we are and youre getting married.

This is how we live, I guess.

Learn by falling and getting back up.

I wish you the same.

Me?

Yeah, I cant do that. Youre

married to your right hand.

Left.

Get up come on. I need to watch

you ruin this dance, move it.

Me? Not a chance.

Ill order you and youll f***ing do it.

Cmon.

You know what?

I beat you up so good that day,

I kinda miss it now.

How quickly you forgot 3 years

ago. I popped your nose open.

- Oh really?

- Yes really, move.

- Lets see how you do in Ankara.

- Game on.

Is Turkey pretty sister Ceyda?

Dawn will break Enegl, go to sleep.

Sister Nabat tell us. You went there.

The soil is not orange like it is here.

Ashen and green.

There is cold and warm.

Dew falls on flowers each

morning, without harming them.

Their mountains have waterfalls.

Their peaks arent bald like ours.

They have it all.

All the good, all the bad.

When you walk in autumn, your feet

may be wet or dry.

A bird may sh*t or land on you.

Are their birds pretty?

They are.

Storks fly all around.

Falcons hunt lesser birds on hills.

Skylarks nest on city roofs.

Their cities are like fields.

Antep, stanbul, Ankara.

Buildings until the horizon.

Will we go one day?

We will, Enegl.

We will.

Go to sleep.

Sir.

Bekir and Arif are on sentry.

Others are resting.

Cizre will send the T- 70 at dawn.

You will be a good officer, Ouz.

Despite me.

20 years from now...

...hundreds of men will look to

your words for everything...

Some of them will be troopers,

natural born soldiers.

Others young and foolish.

But all of them will follow your

example, Ouz.

If you show wisdom and awareness,

they will be wise and aware...

...if you show loyalty and bravery

theyll grow to be loyal and brave.

But above all...

...those under your command will

live and die by your decisions, Ouz.

Then a day will come ...

... Where'll youll have to decide between

whats right and the mission.

The right thing is the mission, sir..

Whats right, is the right thing, Ouz.

Ive ignored many right things for missions.

Back when we were your age

we served southeast with Yaar.

We were both born and raised

in Eskiehir.

But if you asked us the city

of our origin, wed say rnak.

Not because of time stayed there...

...but because of our souls we spent.

If you only knew the friends we

had to lose for missions.

Seven years ago, Captain Yaar...

...caught Bekir and I cussing at

each other once again.

We've already been warned 20 times.

Seeing that we were hopeless he assigned

a latrine to each and forbid us using any other.

You will clean your respective

shits every single day he said.

He had this smile on his face.

He was smiling because theyd given

us the same punishment back in '88.

We became so polite within a week.

He was my Bekir, Ouz.

My best friend.

I had chose the mission

but unable to make it.

He died because of me.

What would you do?

Sir, I...

My head says we need to get out.

This has no end
