always gets us into trouble anyway.

How are we going to write

Kurdish names, Frat?

You can type two V's next to each

other. It comes out the same.

Songl, do you need anything typed?

Take these for now.

Why can't you type quietly.

I can't concentrate here!

What? Our big author's

having a writer's block?

Unbelievable!

I'm telling you. We are going to

report this news. just try and stop us!

- What is it?

- I'll handle it... Don't worry.

We're running out of patience, Dino.

You're trying our patience!

I spit at you and your

patience. F*** off!

So be it.

Stop, stop, where

are you going?

- What is it?

- Show me your ID.

- Why do you want to see it?

- Where are you going?

- I'm going to the paper.

- Who are you going to see?

What is it to you?

I'll see whoever I want.

They burned down

Yaar's stand last night.

I told him to come here but he wouldn't.

He's afraid they'll come after him.

Frat, go see the owner of the

stand, maybe he'll change his mind.

- Then you write the story, ok?

- I'm going to write a news story, Kadir?

Yes... You need to start

somewhere, don't you?

- Ok, Kadir!

- Come on.

What is it, my son, what

are you happy about?

I'm going to write the story

about the burned stand!

What is there to be happy about?

Would you be happy if your

stand was burned down?

No Dino, of course not.

I'm not happy about the

stand being burned down.

Here Kadir, I did it.

Now, Mr. Frat...

The intro is

too long.

Use words more

economically.

You're not writing what Dino told you,

you're making a news story out of it.

- Those are different things, got it?

- Got it, Kadir.

After you make these corrections

give it to Hasan to look over.

Then fax it

to Istanbul.

- Ok, Kadir.

- Frat...

Here, this pen

is yours now.

Hah, ok.

It's ok!

- Do you think Istanbul got my story ok?

- They did.

Maybe the fax didn't go through and

they couldn't read it. Let's check?

Don't make me regret

giving you typing jobs.

Friends...

Our newspaper hasn't been allowed

into Diyarbakr for three days now.

The army stops the distributor's truck

and confiscates our papers every day.

With the order's of the

Emergency State Governor?

There is no such

official prohibition.

But they get orders every day

to confiscate the paper.

Fine, but the prosecution office issues

the confiscation order in the afternoon.

It's not legal for them to confiscate

our papers in the morning!

You're right but...

We can't win if we fight the law, so

what we need to do now is clear.

We'll distribute the paper

in Diyarbakr ourselves.

How can we distribute the paper?

What about all the work here?

Is there any other way? This

job will fall mostly to Frat.

I can help him

with the delivery.

Our friends in Urfa will help us

get the papers into Diyarbakr.

The rest is up to us.

Moving the paper around will take

money. We need to find a way.

We'll call on our readers.

We'll get help from the people.

IRNAK UNDER FIRE

We have to actively defend

ourselves. We can't just sit around.

We're journalists, fine. But when they come

to kill us we can't just do nothing!

- What are we going to do?

- I have my own methods. I'll show you.

- But keep it between us, ok?

- Ok.

- Where have you been?

- All right, Dino... We don't have a car.

People have been asking for

the paper since morning!

Give us some more. Kerim will bring

them to the other stands nearby.

- Kerim!

- Yes, bavo.

Deliver these to the kiosks in Dakap,

and send them my greetings.

- Ok, bavo.

- Go on!

- Sorry for troubling you with this, Dino.

- What trouble?

He's just hanging around doing nothing.

Let him do something useful.

Thank you, Dino.

I'll send the boy to your

office in the mornings.

He can deliver the papers

to the stands nearby.

Dino, you're embarrassing

us with all this.

What embarrassment?

Are you a woman?

Kerim, you're going out to Baglar

again but be careful, ok?

Yusuf, you go to

the Ofis, ok?

Watch out for the police.

- Can you deliver these papers?

- I'm as strong as they are.

- Ok, I'll take some out...

- No, don't. I can deliver them.

Should I leave some papers.

Will your stand be ready?

Leave some.

It'll be ready.

- I sold 47 today.

- Good work.

- I sold 51.

- Good work.

- I sold 45 today.

- Good work.

Hello. One moment.

Phone for you.

- Yes, this is Kadir...

- You are next, Kadir Erkaya.

- Excuse me?

- Excuse me? You ass!

You get a couple of blows

and you think that's all?

We told you about the delicacy of

the situation, but you didn't get it!

So be it. If you do this job

you can't be afraid to die.

- There must be some misunderstanding...

- You making fun of us, you f***?

Who was that?

I don't know. Must have

confused me for another Kadir.

Wrong number probably.

I think it's the same gang that

did the Yksekova kidnapping.

Because the boy's family aren't patriots.

I mean his father was a

member of parliament before.

If this were some blood feud the

body would have turned up.

It didn't. So there's

only one possibility left.

Why don't they

ask for ransom?

These are not ordinary criminals.

There's a political side to all this.

They don't contact the family so they

become more and more desperate.

So once the family's totally

hopeless they'll ask for ransom.

Exactly.

We don't have enough evidence now to

build a story about the gang.

Let's wait and

see what happens.

Alian, keep

following this story.

Lokman, what about

your piece on Lice?

Couldn't you find another paper

to use as a placemat?

What difference does it make?

This is the paper we publish.

It's not like it's the Holy Koran.

And we don't put it out with

some big holding's money.

Have some respect for people who

put their lives at stake for this paper.

They deserve that much

if nothing else.

- Hey, let go!

- Come here!

Hey, give that back!

What are you going

to do, Kadir?

When we started this wasn't the type

of journalism we thought we'd be doing.

You tell me Hasan. How can

I be of use to you now?

The people in the office are

uncomfortable with my work.

So what are you

going to do?

I'll go to Istanbul,

try my luck there.

You think you'll like working for

a holding company's paper better?

Look Frat...

...I'd be heartbroken

if you didn't keep that pen.

Hey, give that back.

What would you be doing

with a book on karate?

- It's not karate. It's kung-fu.

- Karate, kung fu. What's the difference?

Don't knock kung-fu without

knowing anything about it.

There's a deep philosophy

behind kung-fu.

Philosophy? One guy

beats up another guy.

You don't understand.

If you knew you wouldn't ask.

- Give me my book back.

- No way.

There's tons of work to do and

you're wasting time with karate.

- This is work, too. Give it back!

- No!

Frat, where did

you find this?

- Unbelievable!

- Look at this!

Where did you

get this thing?

Public relations, Songl. If you bond
