neighboring village. Is this true?

Yes, it's true... He did go there...

He sent you his regards.

His eyes were green. He had a shirt

on that was the same exact green.

All creatures stood in salute

along every path he went.

The Messenger friend to the

meek, enemy to the cruel.

It was as if his horse had

wings that no one could see.

His arms were as

large as five of mine.

His horse was a huge

chestnut horse...

He tossed me up in the air

and then caught me.

He sent you his regards. He said he loved

you like he loved his own father.

Wait a little longer he said...

Just a little more...

I am going to come and take you

away from this place Ferhat...

We will cross the seas

and mountains together...

You will be free Ferhat...

Waitjust a little.

You are not going to leave

because the tale ended, are you?

He won't leave, don't worry.

David, Saffet let's go.

From that day, the doctor made

up a tale in his heart...

The rain washed Mehmed's

soul into the well water.

He created the Messenger

and named him Abraham.

Every time he told the tale, the Messenger

Abraham would get his revenge...

...from the murderers

who were still free.

He had Mehmed live in the Messenger.

He gave him a make believe life.

The doctor tried to ease his pain everytime

he told the tale over and over.

Then, he believed his own tale and

went after the Messenger.

They speak the truth...

I saw the Messenger too.

He was a brave man...

He said "this village is

going to be the last one. "

"I'm going to stay here, I'm tired. "

"There is no place left for me to go. "

If we knew he was here,

if you didn't leave...

...if you stayed with us...

...we could wait together...

We could believe

the same tale.

Isn't it possible?

Of course it is.

If only the storyteller believes his tale,

then it cannot be a tale, can it?

Of course not.

Stay.

Stay so we can make it real.

Don't sleep, you idiot.

Why do you think we're here?

I just dozed off a little.

Esma and her daughter are

coming back from their whoring.

I guess our d*cks weren't

enough for them.

What the hell? Just when we

were waiting for a quiet night...

...it's turned into a carnival.

- That's my son.

Ferhat! Get over here...

Don't you run off.

Where the hell are you

coming from at this hour?

Answer me. You were with

that man, weren't you?

Answer me, where

were you? I said tell me!

I think he was at Ali's old barn.

He was coming from there.

We are so stupid, why didn't

we think of this before?

What did that man do

to you? Tell me.

The tale is not a lie.

The Messenger will come.

He will show you the

darkness of your heart.

You!

Ferhat!

What is happening?

- What is happening? Saffet... Saffet.

- Where were you? Go on home.

- What is going on?

- Adam... Ferhat is gone.

Ferhat!

Sister? What happened?

I heard yelling, I wanted

to look but I fell.

What is all the yelling about

Saffet? Who is yelling?

It sounds like a

festival out there.

- Yes, a celebration. A real celebration.

- Why? What for?

He came. The Messenger

has come, Sister.

The Messenger is here.

So it is true... The tale is true.

What happened at the

end? Tell me.

His head. He hit his

head on the stone...

You saw didn't you? My son...

Do not touch him!

Ferhat fell and hit his head.

He fell hard brother Zekeriya.

- Do not touch him!

- It's your fault! All your fault!

- Let go, let me go!

- Let him go...

He is a doctor...

He's the only one

who can save your son.

Don't touch his head. Did he throw up?

I am asking you!

Someone answer me, did he throw up?

- No, no he didn't.

- Good, that's good then.

Children, go get all the lamps...

Stand back... Back...

Let me have some light.

- Will he live? Brother, will he live?

- Quick, bring some water...

Cold water.

- Mister?

- Do not be afraid.

Mister... He came, right?

The Messenger came? Didn't he?

"Saffet's Ending"

Then... Whatever happened,

happened at that very moment.

First, a sound was

heard from deep down...

All those who believed in the tale

knew what the sound was.

You can hear the sound everywhere.

It was the sound of a

chestnut horse galloping.

Then the earth trembled

beneath their feet.

At first everyone

thought it was an earthquake.

But only those who had

listened to the tale knew...

It was the Messenger.

His horse was faster

than the wind, a wild horse.

And the Messenger was even larger, and

more courageous then they had said.

The blowing wind, was

the Messenger's breath...

The light, coming from the

well, was his very soul.

The Creator had taken a son from

Zekeriya, but gave one back.

Only one survived from twenty...

The two of them vanished...

They just disappeared.

Then everything went white. It was as if

all the clouds had come down from the sky.

...and covered the village.

No one could see anything.

For three whole days no one

knew if it was day or night.

The sun did not rise in that village.

A disease took over...

...and it slowly rotted their bodies...

It was called leprosy.

Eve...

Eve...

It's over.

- Sister Mary open up, it is me.

- Come in.

I took it from Bedriye's house...

It was in the basement.

It should be safe from the disease.

But it's only enough for today.

- What will we do?

- I don't know.

The poor things even fear

to look out of the window.

Omar, we need to get out of

this town, we have no choice.

- The disease has spread to all of them.

- I wish you had brought Eve as well.

She keeps carrying

water for her mother.

Their torment will not end.

Omar, we need to leave this

village. What should we do?

They said Ferhat would

come, but he didn't...

The mightiest of all

men took Ferhat...

He said he would come, but he didn't.

I wonder if they couldn't

find their way back?

Omar, have you seen Ferhat?

At the end of the village there is a

glowing bridge of heavenly light, now.

And at the end of the

bridge, I saw Zekeriya.

His face was shining

bright like a flame.

"I am waiting for all of you Omar. "

"Get the children and

bring them to me. "

"You need to get out of

that village. " he said.

I saw Brother Zekeriya...

...I also saw Ferhat.

They were at the end

of a bridge of light...

Waiting for us.

David, Ali...

Do not be scared dears.

Do not look, do not look.

And do not get separated... Emine.

- Mum?

- Do not look dear.

That is not your mother.

We will soon be free of this village...

Brother Zekeriya is waiting for us.

Eve, dear...

Forget about her... Forget

everything... We have no choice.

- Take her... Save my daughter.

- Come on dear, come on. Come with us.

Children, don't look back...

Don't turn back and look...

Forget this village...

We must forget this village.

Ferhat.

Then all of the children held hands.

They swore that they would

never leave each other.

They swore never to fear.

They swore to find

a new place to live.

And you know

what did they see...

...when they looked back?

Only a crazy wind.
