with the people you can't lose.

Well done, Frat.

Did you fiddle with it?

You see? It's just

what I told you.

The ex-parliamentarian

made a statement...

...and said that a battalion commander

was leading the kidnappers.

Of course. He's big enough not to

have anything to worry about.

He doesn't have to

keep quiet like the others.

He's not going to let go of this.

He'll pursue it to the end.

We can do a story about the

gang. Let's interview him.

He must have lots to say.

- Are you going to Yksekova?

- Yes!

No Alian, Kadir is gone and now

I only have you and Lokman.

- Hasan...

- No, Alian. No way.

Hello dad.

We got a residence permit, son.

Now you can

come live with us.

Dad, I'm not coming.

I'm going to stay here.

Stay there? What the hell

are you going to do there?

I'm going to be a journalist, dad.

You son of a donkey, when did you

grow up and decide to be a journalist?

Dad, I've made my

decision. I'm staying.

To hell with your decision! How dare

you talk to your father like that!

Ok. Talk to you later.

There is a lasting feud between

us and the Bihar family.

Everyone in

Yksekova knows it.

In the last elections Sddk Bihar

was elected Member of Parliament.

The mayor is a Bihar, too. Now they

want everyone cowed into submission.

Did the Bihar Family

kidnap your son?

That's a nice gun. How many

bullets does it hold?

This is a Saddam 14...

How much does a

gun like that cost?

In the black market you can get

a gun like this for 400-500.

- That's a lot.

- Yeah it's a lot.

And you can't find them just anywhere.

Why do you ask?

- No reason, just curious.

- You want to buy one?

- No.

- I can help you.

- You like guns?

- No, I was just curious.

You like guns or not?

Tell me that.

...but the border battalion commander

Lieutenant Colonel Samet Ogur is behind it.

How did you come

to this conclusion?

He was the one who

made the ransom call.

I recorded the

phone call.

- You ever use a gun?

- No.

- Never?

- I've never used a gun.

But you're curious.

I can tell.

My men will accompany you to Diyarbakr.

I won't take no for an answer.

It's really no big

deal for us...

Stop! Don't come any closer!

Stop! Don't move!

Stop or I'll shoot!

Go! Get out of here!

You bastards! You think journalists

can't defend themselves?

Go on! Go!

Bastards!

Go on!

Frat, where did

you get this?

- I brought it just in case.

- What if we were searched?

But we weren't...

Do you know what would have

happened? You would have...

...given them what they're looking for.

We would be terrorists

posing as journalists.

Should we stretch out our necks

like sheep waiting to die?

Frat, ok, we aren't sheep.

But guns can't protect us.

Ok, then what will?

Let's go.

I'll drop you at the office

then I'm going home.

Transcribe the tape tonight and

tomorrow we'll write the story together.

How did you think they

moved all those drugs?

How is it possible when everyone

is searched everywhere here?

So who did

kidnap your son?

Maybe informers, state militia, or

the gendarme anti-terror unit.

Who's there?

Open the door you

piece of Armenian crap!

Open up! You f***!

Son of a b*tch.

Open up!

You mother f***er!

Open up!

- Hello Hasan? This is Frat.

- Frat, at this hour? What's going on?

Some guys are at the door.

They're breaking down the door!

- Who? The police?

- I don't know. They speak Kurdish.

Keep calm. I am calling Human

Rights Association now.

- What should I do?

- Stay calm. We'll get through this.

Frat, how did the

ex-parliamentarian treat you?

How? We thought

he was sincere.

Did he really want

his story published?

Yes, he even had his bodyguards

accompany us all the way to Diyarbakr.

Give me his

phone number.

F*** your father's honor.

I called the police.

They're coming!

Why'd you bother? We would've

called them ourselves.

I have a gun. I'll shoot!

What kind of gun

you have? A BB gun?

You couldn't get

the documents from the kid!

- We'll get them now then.

- You'll get your mother's ass.

Why? When we're

almost in?

While you're fiddling with a door here

they're informing Ankara, you ass!

- Get out of here!

- Why are you angry?

- We did what you told us to do.

- Come on. Move it!

The police weren't supposed

to get involved.

Let's go.

Why don't you ring the bell

instead of knocking like that?

- I can't reach the bell.

- What's going on?

- They're coming!

- Ok. You, get lost!

Get ready.

They're coming!

- Get up! What are you doing?

- I'm in the toilet.

Move it!

Get out! Hold him!

Last night a gunshot

was heard here.

We didn't hear anything. Frat, did

you hear anything like that?

No, I didn't

hear anything.

- Chief, there's nothing here.

- Keep looking.

You think you're really

clever, don't you?

What's this?

We have an arrest

warrant for you.

For what crime? What reason?

You'll have to ask

that to the judge.

KURDISH PARLIAMENTARIANS ARRESTED

Everyone, the situation

is pretty bad.

The violence is getting

worse every day.

The Emergency State Legislation has

banned the paper in Diyarbakr.

What about other cities?

It's banned everywhere in the

designated emergency region.

Great, everyone but us

can read the paper.

What about the papers

for our archives?

They won't come. You think they'd

just give us one for our archives?

We'll still distribute the paper

but not like before.

Ok then. I should tell the kids.

It's too risky now. The kids

won't do it anymore.

We need you here.

We can't risk anyone.

From now on to keep this office open

we're not going to do the news...

...but work on protecting

ourselves. Got it?

- Yes?

- Hurry up.

Ok.

- Hold on!

- Hurry up. I have to pee!

Oh come on.

Unbelievable!

There's no more sugar. Frat, is

there any sugar in the kitchen?

No, we're all out.

- Lokman, get some sugar?

- We'll send Kerim when he gets here.

So we have to wait for

Kerim to drink our tea?

Don't use sugar. You'll lose weight.

But you use sugar!

Ifigured we had more

sugar in the kitchen.

How was I supposed to know

there wasn't any left?

That's the problem. There's no more!

Ok then you can have my tea.

You're really overreacting.

Why would I want to

drink your backwash?

You're impossible to please.

Lokman, go get some sugar.

Or I'll poison your breakfast!

Ok, ok. This is

unbelievable.

Incredible!

Lokman, I'll come with

you just in case.

Ok, you be on the lookout. Last

time we barely got away.

Look, kung-fu is very useful

in these kinds of situations.

- Ok?

- Ok.

- Who's that? Was someone coming?

- Not that I know of.

- Come in Halit, welcome.

- Hey, brother.

Welcome. Come in.

What is this? It's like

a fortress gate.

Good, this is our

fortress then. Come in.

Halit, no. I just

cleaned up.

- Sorry, excuse me.

- Take your shoes off.

Well, very comfortable.

Nice and cozy in here!

What can we do but be

armchair journalists, eh?

It's nice to do stories

right from where I sit.
