We'll sell the fish to the restaurant.
There wasn't much this morning.
I will be in the restaurant.
Mahsun!
Are we going
to the fish market?
Not much fish this
morning. We're here.
Raki or cognac?
Mahsun, off you go.
Sari...hey, Sari! Wake up.
-I got it man.
Let's sleep on the boat.
-Nah! I will be in the boathouse.
It's freezing there. It's right
in the middle of ....
Well, Reis makes a lot of fuss.
-What kind of fuss?
Don't you remember what
he did last time?
He hurts people when
he's cross with them.
He says ''Don't sleep on my boat''.
-Don't take his words seriously.
What did he say
the other day?
You smartass! Either talk
or get the f*** off!
Go sleep at a
construction site.
Wake up! Where is
the BMW, jerk?
Which BMW?
-Don't pretend you didn't or..
I'll kick your ass!
-I didn't do anything. I swear!
If you didn't steal
then who did?
Tell me!
Where's the BMW?
I'll crush your head.
Tell me!
I didn't steal it.
Tell me!
-I was at the coffee house.
I didn't steal the BMW!
Sorry to disturb you, but
it's an important case.
Yes!
-You know Mahsun.
Was he at the coffee
house tonight?
Yes.
Sari, Sari... Hey!
Sari! Get up!
Wake up! We've got a car!
-Leave me alone!
Get up! Sari, get up!
-Why should I, man?
Get up! A car!
-What do I care?
You a**hole. You'll get frozen!
-I won't! F*** off!
Do as you like.
Go to hell!
My boss...
My boss ran
over the dog.
Was it a car? Did you
run over the dog?
-Yes! I mean no!
My boss did.
Hold on a second pretty girl!
Let's examine your eyes.
I guess we will
need an X-ray.
Where did the dog get hit by
the car? I mean your boss...
Mr. Ahmet!
Ahmet!
Did you steal a car?
Hey! Now you
are in deep sh*t!
It was cold!
The Police was looking
for you and Sari.
When?
-Not more than half an hour ago.
Where's Sari?
-I don't know!
Weren't you together?
Sari!
Sari!
Sari!
Settle all your accounts with
him and leave him in peace.
May he
rest in peace!
Zht!
-Mahsun, it's me, man!
We are at the shore! We lit a fire!
For Sari! I came to take you.
Did you bury him?
I better not come. The
Police is looking for me.
Reis said they would not bother you
today. We informed..
the police about Sari's death.
Listen to me, knucklehead!
I won't come.
-This is ridiculous!
I'd better not come!
-We've talked to the police.
This place is better!
This dog took Sari Kemal to
construction sites many times.
When our late friend got pissed, this dog
would lead him..
to a place he could
spend the night.
Are you hungry?
Shall we buy you bread?
But he'd be around only
when Sari was dead drunk.
Reis, this is my turn.
-Right! He wouldn't follow..
him at other times.
-You understand us, don't you?
Tell me, tell me you do!
Do you really understand..
when we can't
make it home?
I mean, when you pretend to..
be drunk would he figure
out you're pretending?
Definitely, at once!
-How come?
If your breath smells booze
and if you're swaying about..
he'd think
you're drunk.
Animals have...
what was it called?
Sixth sense?
-That's it!
Sari once woke up in a
Sivas Kangal's kennel.
The dog did not hurt him,
did not even touch him.
Bullshit!
-Dogs see the world different.
They both have a sixth sense and they
see black and white.
What has that to do with
sensing a drunkard?
In some cold regions, dogs have
a barrel of booze around their..
necks so that when people
drink it they don't get frozen.
no matter how far they are.
Your contributions please.
-How can a dog carry a barrel?
Gentlemen, your contributions!
-Well, it's only this big!
So what?
-Ask if there is stale bread.
As if the dog is a mobile
pub! You idiot!
White wine. And also stale bread
if you have any.
Mahsun, we've heard that you started
practising your art.
This is the file when we were
fed up with Mahsun's case.
Let me tell you something:
He didn't get tired
of being beaten.
I got sick of jailing him.
He didn't get sick of jail.
The wardens, the prosecutors,
the judges, the whole country..
is fed up with his case!
But not him!
The officers, the superiors, the
guardians, they all got tired.
Even the psychologists got bored.
Here! This is the..
document that claims he's mentally
disturbed!
And here they say he is not. Yes!
The doctors..
the clinics are all sick
and tired of this case.
But not him. Do you know whose car he
stole this time?
Somebody important?
-The car belongs to the..
councilor of the Ministry of Domestic
Affairs. And he had..
the audacity to bring and park the
car where it originally was.
Tell me something new!
-Take care of that jerk!
-Difficult!
-Am I speaking Chinese here?
We're in the papers.
Everybody is watching those..
'Are the Police Sleeping?'
programs on TV.
Take good care of him.
-I already have a son.
I don't want another one.
-Isn't Mahsun working for you?
No!
-He goes fishing with you.
He is not my man!
-Do you pay him or not?
It's nothing really.
-Let's not play with words!
Mahsun is with you!
-I can't.
Just warn him,
he'll stop stealing.
Well, but I..
-Just press him hard.
I can't.
-It's for your own benefit to..
co-operate.
Look at this! An ambulance!
A fire-brigade vehicle!
Can you imagine? He stole a
fire-brigade car! Bastard!
He may try to smuggle
heroin into your boat.
I don't understand.
-If we ever search your boat..
you'd be bogged down.
I want you to co-operate.
Mahsun!
Mahsun, have
some pastry.
The coffee house, you
owe them much money?
How much?
-500.000 Turkish Liras.
For how long?
How long you haven't
paid them anything?
Two months.
-Two?
Three.
-Is Zeki making fuss?
He kicked Sari out of
the coffee house once.
Cheap bastard!
Tell Zeki. Tell him ''Reis will
settle my account next week.''
You can stay at the coffee
house until they close then.
At nights sleep in the boathouse
or in a construction site.
But don't sleep on the boat.
The police, been on top of their..
agenda for a long time.
Let some time pass.
Within a couple of months winter
will be over!
You won't feel
cold any more.
Before the siege of Istanbul the
Ottoman Sultan Mehmet..
The Conqueror had built
the Rumeli Hisari fortress..
and I'm standing right
in front of it now.
After the construction of the
fortress, Fatih decreed the..
fortress to be full of peacocks
which were brought from Iran.
In those days, it was widely
believed in the Ottoman Empire..
that peacocks were a symbol
of affluence, fertility and..
goodness against evil.
But after Fatih Sultan Mehmet died..
the peacocks at the fortress
gradually disappeared.
Finally during the reign of
Yavuz Sultan Selim..
Fatih's grandson, sources do not
refer to peacocks any longer.
However, the Rumeli Hisari Fortress
is going to welcome..
peacocks again centuries
after Fatih's death.
The Iranian President has made
