Don't you think I'd
recognize Beshir Bey.
We've been together since the War.
You see that talk piece?
The pilot died in my arms.
And Beshir Bey...
- What happened to Beshir Bey?
- So you saw him?
You saw him, didn't you? You drank
raki together with him, didn't you?
You're not lying to us? You're not
misleading us? If It's a matter of money
here take the money Onat Usta.
Just tell the truth.
Please take the money
Onat Usta. Here, here.
- Did you believe him? - Something
inside me says he's telling the truth.
What do you mean, do
you think he's alive?
Yeah, yeah. My father... We were
always together, he was always at home.
- I don't remember him doing any
kind of work. - Where is he now?
He never left his room. He used
to do one puzzle after another,
- stare out at street trough his
tiny window. - Where is he now?
One morning we found him dead. With
the newspaper, the puzzles in his hand.
I wasn't even able to cry. We threw
away a whole room full of newspapers.
So you're also able to be
merciless now and then.
I'd like to believe that
He said that we live like frozen food.
We wait around for the day when
they'll take us out of the freezer.
I think his life was also
filled with such moments.
I wanted to speak with you alone because
I have some private things to say.
- I'd like you to help me. - Of course,
of course, I'll do whatever I can.
When they told me you wanted to speak with me,
I thought you were picking up your shares.
Shares? I don't know anything
about them. What shares?
- Don't you really know? Try and be up front
with me. - No, no, I don't know a thing.
Okay, okay, I understand. I'm sure you
realize that this isn't the first time I've
confronted a situation like this. In any
case, secrecy was your father's forte.
I'm going to tell you
everything, don't worry.
We did two things together, one successful,
one not. You know which one didn't work?
- As I said, don't know a thing.
- Yes, you're right, I forgot...
A national concern. No one can
know the importance of this factory.
This factory was a matter of national
concern for us. We didn't make a mess.
Of things as we did with that unfortunate
junta. We were first to build a factory
- like this in the country. My daughter...
Mr. Ragip. - Have you found your father?
Would you like walk along with us?
- I'm going to try and explain a few things
to our visitor. -You're living in L. A?
- Yes. Have you been there?
- A few times. Very interesting city.
Everything's interesting.
Yes, very interesting.
Tell us about your mysterious life, father.
It'd really be interesting to Mr. Ragip.
- But he has to know, my child.
- Everything?
Please, don't put any pressure on me.
Is there anyone other than Mr. Ragip
- who's curious about his father, who wants
to see him? - Yes, there's you, father...
Bye. I'm leaving...
Good luck, Mr. Ragip.
After me wife died my daughter became
everything to me. I have one else.
These are the pictures of my life. At one time
your father and I were very close friends.
But after the junta he thought I had betrayed
him. The fact is we were all betrayed.
This was the kind of a defeat we'll never
forget. We had gone hunting in Indochina.
He wanted to kill me there. He was
quiet, calm. He wanted to get rid of me.
Now do you understand why I
don't want to remember him?
as pure as he was. I miss him.
It was he who taught us
the abc's of so many things.
Now we're stuck in the middle of this
swamp with that alphabet... helpless.
He lived own life died his own death.
I could never have imagined that after
thirty-five years in the police force,
after tailling your father and writing hundreds
of reports on him that this would happen.
One day, I don't know where it came from, he
began to talk about that strange plan of his.
"Go and find one" he said.
For days and days I walked in
and out of village cemeteries.
I bargained with diggers.
So after having followed your father for
thirty-five years, I bought a corpse for him.
Because I was a faithful friend.
I couldn't survive without
him. I moved with him.
of almost all his business.
So I bought a corpse and I made sure
that everything was done realistically.
I was in charge of the funeral.
Absolutely everybody was there:
communists, fascists,
liberals, high ranking officers,
ministers, workers. Absolutely
everybody. Except that no one
but he and I knew that this was in
reality the funeral of a poor peasant.
whole thing:
I executed it.Can you imagine, we were
able to fool all of Istanbul!
Everything went like clockwork. They
all believed your father had died.
From then on he was free to live
elsewhere under an assumed name.
from a flat I had rented.
The deceit of a man who watched his
own funeral from a distance so he could
free himself before
getting completely soiled.
- Is all this true? How can we believe it?
- He's alive. My father's alive.
Fine, but why all these deceptions?
I don't understand.
This was, at the same time, the deceit
of a man who observed his own funeral
and disappeared so he could save himself from
getting soiled That's what the video says.
- Didn't the general give you
any other leads? - No.
Well, maybe the old housekeeper
will tell us some more tomorrow.
He'll tell us some more, won't he?
Hello...
Was it you who gave my number to her?
No, she must've gotten it
from the American bodyguards.
This is all we needed.
Shall I make you an omlet.
I said to your father, see that tree
over there? Why take us? Take it.
But what'd I do? Was I deserving of him?
He came all the way out there to our
remote villages to work as a doctor.
He was the only really important
person in the whole area.
Then he got this idea of teaching me
how to read and write. And what did I do?
I lazied around,my head somewhere
in the clouds, mot picking up much.
I had no one in the world. Your father
was obsessed with helping orphans like me.
Those crooked bureaucrats, those
crooked bureaucrats, he'd always say.
Later on they really gave him a
hard time. But he never gave in.
Maybe he did after that, I
don't know. And what did I do?
He was just about to take off. They didn't
let him live there they sent him away...
I saw him off with the first
words he taught me to read.
Just before he left he was really
in bad shape. He was drinking a lot.
He kept saying, they're after me. They're
going to kill me. Whatever that means.
And what'd I do? On the day he left, I was
able to keep his things as he left them.
And what did I do? I didn't know how to
read or write. I was never able to learn.
He took me in as a little kid, brought me
out by train, and I've worked for him since.
And what'd he do? One morning he just
picked up and left this room without a sound.
