YOU MIGHTY GOD WHO

CREATED THE MASTER OF FIRE!

I RISE AGAINST YOU!

DEVIL IS NOT GOING

TO BOW BEFORE THE MUD!

I WILL SHOW YOU WHO

REALLY IS UNGRATEFUL!

I WILL DESTRO Y ALL BEAUTIES

OF THE DISGUSTING HUMAN...

...THAT YOU FEED THE

WORMS UNDER THE SOIL WITH!

I SWEAR ON YOU GOD!

I WILL ATTACK THEM ALL AROUND...

...AND

MAKE ENEMIES FOR ONE ANOTHER!

HUMAN WILL BOW BEFORE ME,

ME NOT BEFORE HIM!

AND NOT EVEN YOUR ENDLESS MERC Y...

...C AN SAVE THEM FROM

THE TORMENT OF SEMUM!

Mr. Volkan i can assure you that you can not

find a better villa in this neighbourhood.

And you don't even need

to spend any more money.

You can just come tomorrow

and move in. It is so good.

The owners live in Istanbul right?

Yes, yes...

Why don't they move in here?

I guess they bought the

place for investment.

You know real-estate prices

were very low last year.

When the prices increased this

year they decided to sell it.

Actually, their economic condition is

very good. So they didn't even rent it yet.

I am sure you can't find a better place

for this price. Don't miss the chance!

How about the neighbours?

Do you know anyone i can talk now?

Well, you know Mr. Volkan, people

usually prefer this neighbourhood...

...to get rid of the crowds,

to lead a silent, peaceful life...

...and therefore they

don't care about each other.

Anyway I've never heard about any problems

so far. You can be comfortable about that.

For example that house over there...

...a couple without kids live

there, that's what i know.

I guess they are not at home now!

What do you say about the price?

I told you when we talked earlier.

I can go up to 550.

More is difficult for me to pay.

You decide first.

I will surely do something for you.

Well, Mr. Cengiz, i can't say

anything before my wife says OK.

But if we can agree for 550, then...

Mr. Volkan, here's the key, go inside

with your wife, see the house together...

...i will pass your

offer to the landlord now.

Hey brother!

What are you looking for?

We'll see the house. Why do you ask?

Do you have the key?

We were with Mr. Cengiz, didn't you see?

Cengiz?

Cengiz, the realtor.

All right, go on then.

My name is Raci. I am the gardener here.

All right Mister Raci, thanks.

Go about your work!

Dumb ass! He thinks he owns the place.

I really hate this kind of men.

He didn't say anything. He is just

doing his work here. Why do you care?

Nevermind!

So?

Volkan don't ask me now! I can't say

anything before I see the whole house.

Volkan, this can be

the bedroom, don't you think?

Yes.

Volkan!

In the saloon.

Honey, no need to discuss.

This house is perfect for me.

You mean the boss says OK.

Yes!

A kiss is not enough!

Jerk!

Congratulations Mr. Volkan.

The landlord agreed your price offer.

You made a wonderful decision madame.

You won't regret it.

Thank you...

Congratulations honey.

Hope we'll enjoy it dear.

Volkan stop! Stop Volkan, don't!

Please don't Volkan.

Don't you like the new house

Damla? Let's go to the kitchen...

Are you hungry, huh?

Where is your food?

Canan the house is so beautiful! I hope

you'll move into a better one and...

I am really jealous now!

Very nice, congratulations.

Thanks dear. Hope you'll have one too.

And thank you for the present. The colors

match the room perfectly, thanks a lot.

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it.

This house needs protection from evil eyes!

You know how stubborn Volkan is.

He objected me all the while

as I insisted for a new house.

I gave up then all of a sudden

he happened to look for a house.

So what? It's not the best

way to push a man too much.

How is Volkan, is the business good?

Good... He's fine nowadays.

Anyway, forget Volkan,

tell me about that guy.

You mean Tolga?

The one with green eyes.

That you met at the gym the other day.

That's Tolga. Forget about him!

I smiled once and he

started sending sms's.

Typical guy who tries to get every

girl he sees. I always find this type.

You must be more flexible honey!

Otherwise you will remain a spinster.

Nevermind!

What is the harm to be a spinster?

Did she scratch you?

No big deal, it's all right.

Just a little scratch.

She couldn't get used to the house!

She meowed all night long.

Garbage?

Pardon?

You must leave the garbage

bags out at 6 everyday.

All right.

I don't have any today, thanks.

All right.

Yes?

I live in the house next door.

Why do you throw these stinking

pieces of flesh in the garden?

Pardon me.

These pieces of flesh, why do

you throw them in the garden?

Is the garbage dump there?

Canan:
Sir, what does it have to do with us?

I have no idea about those in your hand.

Wait a minute, what are you doing?

It's stinking inside too.

So what. You'll discuss with

my husband when he comes home.

What you're doing is so rude!

Stupid! What a freak!

- Good evening Mr. Volkan!

- Good evening.

You knock on my door when I'm not home;

you stick your head inside my house.

Come on, explain this!

You threw stinking pieces

of flesh in the garden.

The garbage dump is not

there, I just said that.

What kind of freak are you? Why would

we throw pieces of flesh in the garden?

Unbelievable! We just moved in.

I would expect a welcome first.

The same smell came

from inside the house.

Look at me mister, you are old enough.

I am trying to be calm but...

...if you disturb us like this once

again it will not be good at all!

I'm warning you now!

Brother! Don't mess with that guy!

Why is that?

Don't you know?

What don't we know?

His wife is missing.

Your neighbour Mr. Macit married

a 27 year old woman last year.

First they seemed to have no problems...

...but later I started to hear some

shouting and yelling from their house.

Then suddenly his wife disappeared.

Actually, he says that

she is gone missing.

What do you mean?

Police suspected him.

They followed him for

days, questioned him.

They thought he murdered his wife.

He was kept in jail for a

while, and then he was released.

His wife is still missing.

Since then, the man is a bit...

...weird.

He's not really sane.

I should warn you brother.

Mister Raci.

Don't call me 'brother' again.

Please!

Why didn't you tell

this before we bought the house?

That is not my business madame.

You should have asked the realtor.

You should have.

For God's sake, what

should I have asked Canan?

Would we decide not to buy the house

just because the guy's wife is missing?

And I did ask... The realtor happened

to be scurvy, what can I do?

I don't know, I am feeling

depressed for the hell of it.

Now, this will keep my mind busy.

And what if the man

really killed his wife?

Honey wherever you go, you

may come across such things.

Why do we care about what a

man does to his wife? Forget it!

- But...

- Stop that.

If you are going to make this a

big deal, let's just sell the house.

I already have a million things at work.

I can not take more

stress because of this.

If you want we can sell
