Equal treatment for everyone,

right? - Yes, sir.

We thaught that too, right?

- Yes, sir.

That was a mistake.

I beg your pardon?

- Nothing.

So if that terrorist killed your

brother? What would you do?

I would still treat him.

And what would you tell

your mother?

Someone killed my brother.

We captured him but I saved

his life. Why?

Because I swore an oath to

uncle Hippocrates, right?

These mountains have different oaths.

Hakan you are a banker, right?

- Yes, sir.

Those guys earn 5 times

the salary we get.

Ain't it true?

Depends on the bonus.

We have commissions too.

What would I need to show you

to get a credit?

I'm not in the credit department,

but securities I guess.

My securities are these mountains here.

You would need papers to prove this.

I don't have papers...

...so these mountains

mean nothing to the bank.

When you're discharged

you forget about the mountains.

You'll go to the woman you love.

Rest your head on her shoulders.

And start talking...

Oh, you're going to say,

when I was there, I shot a man.

I was shot, I couldn't breathe,

you'll say and cry.

There was blood everywhere you'll say.

Shed two little tears

on their shoulders, right?

And the women will cry.

My hero, my national hero!

That's how she'll call you.

Just awesome, right?

You'll hug each other,

so soft and nothing else matters.

Turgay?

- Yes captain.

Tell that painter boy, he always draws

sticks and stones.

Tell him to paint flowers,

beetles and butterflies! Butterflies!

Yes, sir.

Maybe then we can get a

credit someday, right?

Kaya, Kaya 1.

Kaya 1 here.

We prepared the stake-out.

Kaya 1, did you ever apply

for credit at a bank?

No, Kaya

Well, don't. Because they want to

papers for that

As you command.

Go now. C'mon.

- Yes, sir.

Turgay. - Yes, Sir?

- Bring me some tea.

Kaya 1, Kaya.

Kaya, Kaya 1.

Just come back home.

- Yes, sir.

He said you shouldn't draw stones,

but beetles, flowers and butterflies.

You will not get credit if you don't.

Omer, sup bro? Here, take these sheets.

Alright.

Take a big pot, add some tea...

...and boil them thoroughly.

Just wait. In a minute you will

forget that you are here.

How?

Just close your eyes and concentrate.

We concentrate on women, right?

No, later. First we concentrate on

the day of discharge.

Or leave.

Yes, two men.

Flowers.

Southwest, they are running.

Beetles.

We will leave this place.

Think of your families.

Birds singing. Wind.

I see them. They are no scouts.

Let's wait.

And other stuff. You see them,

right?

A woman.

Yes.

Think of Hlya.

Think of your warm beds.

You aim at the man.

- The sound of water.

I'll take out the woman.

Listen.

Forget that you are even here.

- Stay calm.

You are not here.

- 60m

A slight breeze.

- Very nice.

Quiet.

On my mark.

The girl fell behind the tree. Baris! Go, run!

Yes, sir.

The boy went down, can't see the girl.

He is dead sir.

Does she have grenades?

- No.

Maybe under her body.

Have a look, get down!

Turgay.

- Yes, sir.

Take his ammo. Turgay.

- Yes, sir.

Kaya 1, Karabal.

- Karabal here.

We engaged the...

Wait. Don't report.

Sir?

- Take that.

Are you coming back?

- Give me radio.

Karabal, everythings fine. We're coming back.

- Understood.

Take it.

Turgay, bundle up our stuff.

- Yes, Sir.

What are we gonna with them?

His owners will collect him.

We'll take the girl to the station.

Serkan. What's her condition?

Severly wounded.

I know son, I shot her.

Can you stop the bleeding?

We"ll need a helicopter.

Serkan, which college did you go to?

- Hacettepe.

It's the best med school

in the country, right?

I guess so...

So you were a bad student or

what? Do your job.

lker, turn on the TV.

We need the helicopter, sir

- There won't be one.

Where do you think you are? In the US Army?

We can't call helicopters for every wounded.

I need to talk to her. There are

things I want to hear from her.

I am trying to save you.

lker, bring me a sheet.

I'm 21, I was born in Ankara and

went to college.

Omer, what's that?

How was the day of the contest

for you? Were you excited?

Just tell us a little about it.

Swab.

- Swab. Swab.

Let me have it.

Here, grab this. Omer, tighter!

Sir, I can't watch this.

- So f***ing don't, damn it!

There were so many other

beautiful girls.

And how does it feel to be the

most beautiful girl of Turkey

I am very proud.

And I want to represent my

country in the best possible way.

How did you get that stunning

body and great looks?

Oh, I exercise alot. I am an athlete.

I'm on a healthy diet.

Every morning, an apricot

and a glass of water.

That's how I start my day.

Is there any part of your body

you don't like?

Yeah, I don't like my neck.

What changed in your life

after the contest?

It still feels like a dream.

Nothing much.

Only more people know me now.

Sir, I can't concentrate.

Can we turn off the TV?

Could you stop the bleeding?

- To some extent.

Thank you and again, congratulations.

Are you in pain? What a pity.

You were there when

Orhan and Emre got killed?

Orhan had a wife and two kids

and a new car.

Did you watch them die?

Oh, did I squeeze too tight?

I'll loosen it a bit then. Good.

Is there anyone who'll miss you,

when you die?

Who'll be sad when you die?

Sir, you'll kill her.

Not me.

Would Doctor be sad? Do you know him?

Sir!

He fucks you, doesn't he?

You are going to kill her.

- I'll make this Doctor show up here.

Sir you will kill her.

- Shut up! What?

Sir, Doctor wants to talk to you.

Tell him the captain is taking care

of his girlfriend. I'm busy right now.

Yes, sir.

So you know each other?

Where is this doctor?

You're going to kill her!

Where is the doctor?

Sir!

Sir, sir!

You'll kill her! Commander!

The Doctor is here.

Sir! Sir!

Enough!

Orhan had a wife and two kids

and a new car.

Call the helicopter.

Everybody out! Ilker, Soner, out!

Yes, sir.

I'll ship you out with the heli.

Take a few days leave.

No, we came here together. We'll

go back together as well.

The helicopter is here.

Yes, sir.

Bring the blanket too.
