Then he disappeared in the

mountains. Nickname stuck up.

Why did you drop out?

Afraid of dead bodies?

Is this guy nuts? He should work

in a hospital and make a great living.

What the f*** is he doing in mountains?

Commander says,

they'll definitely attack.

Then they will.

I am your angel of death.

Are you out of your mind?

- Put that rifle away.

Are you OK?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Good god...

I thought I heard something...

My grandpa made those.

Said, they'll protect me.

These men are doing a great

and sacred job.

As I said before...

... we were able to weaken

the terrorists severly.

We will increase these efforts...

... and as I promised our

distinguished people...

terrorism will no longer be

an important topic...

...by the end of summer.

Even your flag can't stand

against the wind, right?

You too fought for this flag.

How could you forget?

It's you who forgot! Blood of my

people is in that flag too.

It is the blood of all of us

It colors this flag red.

But you added the crescent moon

and the star.

Just a star would've been better!

So you don't like the crescent moon now?

Go away while you still can.

If not, sister Zeynep will be very sad.

No one will be sad if you die?

I'll blow your head up, just as I did

with the other two boys

You're gonna pay for those two men.

You will die, captain.

Baris, you don't use the

radio transceiver anymore?

No sir, not any more.

- Did you have a fight?

We broke up.

She's sick of waiting.

She's right. It's hard to wait for

your death news anytime.

She just shouldn't wait for it.

It is a good thing, if someone waits

for you. Baris, it's good.

Open the window.

What's wrong. Tell me?

Nothing. Never mind.

- Come on, why are you doing this? Tell me.

I dunno... I was thinking about Emre.

... Sergeant Orhan. My mother, Hlya.

Look, I got some new moves.

Wanna see?

Watch it, elevator frenzy!

So how's it? Just look!

One.

Two.

Blue. Beret. Does not fall down.

Now with just one finger.

One, two. That's more easy.

You know the grocer Yusuf?

He has a son, Mahir?

He sent his mother to my moms the other day.

They want me to marry their son.

- What the hell?

My mom just told me.

Oh f*** this grocer boy!

F*** this sh*t!

They proposed to her and stuff...

It made my heart... you know?

I guess I'm more in love than I thought I was.

But she said no,

so what else do you want?

That's right. But what if we die out here?

Hello? Mom?

My son...

Nothing, not much to do here.

How are you?

I miss you so much. So nice to

hear your voice, my boy.

How are the boys?

Good. In perfect shape.

We don't know anything

about your situation.

Me and your father are kinda nervous.

We do get bits of information... martyrs everywhere

They aren't related to us,

we are at a different place.

We're in Turkey.

You'll wrap the newborn in

Besiktas banner for me, will you?

Mom, I'm talking to you.

- To me?

Yeah, of course to you.

We're the champions this season.

Don't you get it? Fener is the best!

Hello, mom. I'm fine and you? (in Kurdish)

Mom? I am allright, how are you? (in Kurdish)

Do you hear me? Is your phone broken? (in Kurdish)

It's getting warmer,

Orange blossoms smell lovely.

Do you hear the call to prayer?

I pray for you and your friends.

I can't stand this much longer.

I see you sometimes standing before me.

And a I blink, you're gone.

I guess I am demented.

I miss you so much.

- I miss you too.

I couldn't wash the t-shirt

you wore last time.

Sometimes, I take it out and I smell it.

- Oh, mom.

It smells like my boy.

I'll send you greetings with music!

If we die while asleep.

Will we still become martyrs?

If you're confident and

not afraid of death...

...you'll become martyrs while sleeping. Doesn't matter!

Is that guy still beating you up?

- It will soon be over, mom.

No need to worry about us.

- Just 64 days...

You serve your country.

You need to deal with this.

Why not? Are you at war?

Don't you ever watch TV?

- Your father sold the TV.

He what?

I really miss you.

- I do miss you too.

I really miss your cooking a lot.

Since you left, I never

cooked meat balls...

...nor any sarma.

Because you like those so much.

Mom, are you crying?

No, I'm not crying. Sweetheart, I'm not.

Don't cry.

Your voice protects me. (in Kurdish)

Your voice soothes me. (in Kurdish)

Do you still have those gold

nuggets I bought for you?

Have you ever thought about me,

being in need of you?

Don't you think I ever want that? They just

won't let me go. Do you think, I'm stupid?

That was all I had. I wanted to start

a business with that when I'm back.

You go crazy over there then!

Don't call him dad, he is not my dad!

And you will call again in 10 days,

Yeah, I know. Ok!

This is not a hotel room. Do you

think I can make calls anytime I like?

Hello?

Hello.

Aunt Hanife. It's me, Soner.

- Hello.

Is Esma at home?

No, she's not.

But I can hear her.

Please don't call anymore.

Her father gets mad with me and with her too.

- OK, auntie.

Are you in love with somebody too?

Yes.

Keep me updated, will you?

We'll be sitting near the phone all the time.

Is she in love with you too?

Yes.

I love you.

- I love you too.

You know I love you very much,

don't you?

Yes, I know.

It's me. Ahu?

You were luckier than me.

Would your love die, if we don't see

each other?

Love is not the only thing

that plays a part here.

You're self-centered.

Am I self-centered because

I need to fight for everything here?

What are you fighting over there anyway?

What's that supposed to mean?

You are there so that I can sleep

in peace right?

Cause you're in the army! Oh, sorry!

Yes I am.

- Of course!

So I need to be thankful for every

quiet night. I get it.

Do you want to end it?

- That would make it easy for you, right?

No, it wouldn't.

But you sound like that.

It feels like the right thing to do,

indeed. It is over.

(You didn't give me your picture)

(Now you hang out with other men)

(You didn't give me your picture)

(Now you hang out with other men)

(One day I will knock

on your door with roses.)

(Get lost, I'll say.)

(Live in the streets.)

(You tramp, godless whore)

(How much fun we had together)

You look tired, Vedat?

- No, sir. I'm fine.

Did you not sleep well?

Not really.

Where does she live?

I beg your pardon sir? Who?

- Your girlfriend, boy. Your girlfriend.

In Istanbul sir.

- Istanbul?

Are you in love with her?

I think so, yes.

You know, love is too small

for big cities.

I know.

She'll cheat on you.

So are you prepared for it?

I can't change it if she'll cheat.

For the fight! Are you ready for the fight?

- I am, sir.

Serkan, you?

I am ready sir.

You didn't make that impression

on me last time.

I am now, captain.

- Ready for what?

Ready for what you have taught us, captain.

What did I teach you anyway?

Would you treat the terrorist

who shot Orhan...

...if we captured him wounded?

Yes, I would sir.
