Vizontele Page #6

Teacher! Come here for a second!

What is it?

The fire started because

this overheated.

But Emin's got the answer.

-What?

-Watch this...

This fan will keep it cool.

But we need a battery for the fan.

Where can we get one right away?

Turn it off.

What's wrong?

lt's all over.

What do you mean?

l've made a fool of myself. They're

calling me ''The Vizontele Mayor''.

Let's get a technician from Ankara.

We can't quit now.

We'll show them all.

Especially Latif.

l know what to do.

What?

They said to put it high up

on a hill.

We've been up on

every hilltop around.

And it didn't work.

So we have to go higher.

Higher?

The highest hill of all!

The highest of all.

Are you out of your mind?

All we need is a battery.

Look, l haven't gone crazy yet. No

one's ever been up there! Forget it.

l'm sending the vizontele

to Ankara.

We're leaving this with you.

Take care of it!

Father, are you going up

Mount Artos?

Got a problem with that?

Mayor, have you lost your mind? How

can you go up there at your age?

Get down here!

For God's sake, father!

Shut up!

Mr. Mayor, l really must

tell you that you're too old.

And you're not.

What do you mean, sir?

Hop in. You're coming along.

l'm coming too?

Get in, Goldilocks.

Stop it!

May God give you wisdom!

What else can l say?

Going up Mount Artos.

He's really losing it.

What about that matter, dad?

Don't start with me.

l said l'd handle it!

You keep saying that, but...

You didn't sell even one ticket.

Get in and get to work!

The poor guy's lost his mind.

He's not fit to serve his mayor.

What's going on?

The car doesn't work.

Dad, the battery is gone.

You must have left

the headlights on.

lt's really gone, dad!

lt's been stolen!

Someone opened up the hood and

stole it. lf they'd left the battery...

What'd he say?

Crazy Emin told me you said

he could pick out any suit...

...as payment for a radio.

As payment...

That's right.

-And you fell for it...?

-Yes.

Want some tea?

l'll get it to you. Go inside.

Stupid son of a b*tch.

Keep your eyes glued to the

vizontele, Semsi! Got that?

lf anything happens

let us know. Got it?

Where did you get the battery?

Never mind.

A friend gave it to me.

Mr. Mayor...

Don't say a word. This is a matter

of honor for me.

l'll go all the way to the Himalayas

if l have to.

What can l say?

May God be with you.

Once we get a picture,

we'll celebrate with a bonfire.

Yes, sir.

The mayor's gone bonkers.

He's going up the mountain.

Emin, you maniac! l'll be seeing you

about the suit.

Actually, it does need some

alterations.

We'll walk the rest of the way.

People keep talking

about my father...

...saying that he was some kind

of holy man,...

...that that makes me

a holy man too.

Half of them think l'm crazy; half

think l'm some kind of a mystic.

Are they the same?

l know the real story.

He came here as a soldier...

...and managed to convince everyone,

including my mother...

...that he had special healing powers.

That's how l was born.

A bit of mystical, heavy breathing

and then off he went.

Being a bastard is not so bad.

Think of all the hassles l'd have

if l had relatives.

lf l had a brother he would

only mean trouble.

You've a point there.

lsn't it time to find

you a girl, Emin?

No, thanks. l've got a sweetheart.

Who?

She's in Denmark.

-Where?

-lt's a foreign country.

-What's she doing over there?

-She's from there.

How'd did you meet this girl?

She came here as a tourist,

l showed her around.

She wanted me to go to Denmark

with her. l asked her...

...who would look after

my birds?

You stayed here for your birds?

They'll die if l go. But when she

insisted, l said...

...l'd try to sort something out...

...so l could go see her

next summer...

We had no idea you were

working on international relations.

l was just showing her around.

Nothing special.

We were eating walnuts.

She loved me, and l loved her.

When did all this happen?

While we were eating walnuts.

lt's not my fault.

l just did what she did.

What are you doing?

No Cristine, no.

When did she come here?

What's her name?

Cristine. Spelled with a 'c'.

l hope it all works out.

Let's go before it get's too late.

What are you staring at?

lt's turned off.

Get lost! lt's the mayor's orders.

Your hair's thickening with

each mile, Sezgin.

That inimitable sense

of humor, Mr. Mayor...

Dammit!

Gone. You'll have to ask me

about your hair. Yes, it's thinning.

Shut up.

Get a move on, Goldilocks.

Are you ready, Emin?

lt's nightfall.

Ready, teacher.

Help us God. This is our last chance.

Look! A picture!

Just a minute.

What's this?

Persian.

Why?

l think it's lranian vizontele.

They must have one too.

F***!

Excuse me, Mr. Mayor.

You took the word right

out of my mouth. F***!

Well, Emin? Wasn't it supposed

to work on the highest spot?

l'm not sure.

Maybe if we go to...

Stop it Emin, for God's sake!

That's right, Emin.

lt's your fault we're here.

Shut up, Goldilocks. Or l'll send you

back for the mirror.

l'm sorry, teacher.

What's going on?

ls it a wedding or something?

Put out the fire!

People will think that...

Let it burn...

Otherwise we'll freeze to death.

What happened?

We got lranian vizontele.

-But you built a fire!

-We were cold.

A Traditional Black Sea Wedding...

Mr. Mayor! lt's on!

Turkish vizontele is on!

Look mom, it's on!

Welcome, please come in...

May it be for the best, Mr. Mayor.

Thank you.

There's no business tonight, dad.

They've all gone

to watch the vizontele.

Don't worry. They'll be back in a

couple of days. lt's the novelty of it.

Turn it on, Mayor.

Right. Here, by the grace of God...

Turn it on, Emin.

Good evening.

Good evening.

The Turkish Armed Forces' naval

and air intervention in Cyprus...

...continues with

overwhelming success.

Prime Minister Blent Ecevit

addressed the nation...

...at a press conference

this morning:

''We are in Cyprus

to promote peace,...

...not to forment war.

We hope that our forces will not

encounter resistance...

...that will only lead to bloodshed.

We are there for peace,

not for war.

We're also there

to bring peace to the Greeks.''

The marine corps are successfully

holding Girne, at great cost...

...to enemy ranks. Turkish forces

have suffered 5 fatalities...

Lost in action are...

Where is he?

Who?

My son, where is he?

The general called today. He told us

to be proud of our boy,...

...said he was a true hero.

They built him a tomb...

...at the War Martyrs' Cemetery

in Cyprus.

He said it. One of the top brass.

Would he call just anyone?

-Our boy must have been great.

-Teacher, Mother Siti says to...

Don't do it ma'am.

lt's not the gadget's fault...

Grandfather...

Father.

We're going to my father's house.

Where is everybody?

The Brazil match is on TV.

They'll come after the game.

Shall l put the head facing that way?

And a brand new Phillips television

from the groom's uncle.
