Yes.
- Allright. Asl.

- Could you please wait?
OK, sir.
l'll inform them.
OK, sir.
Have a nice day.
What were you doing there?

- Don't exagerate, take it from here.
Brush, make up kit...
... notepad, pen, sunglasses.
And an adventure book.
Here you are,
you god damned shit.
- Do you read those?
- l'm just amusing myself.
No, notjust amusing.
l do enjoy it awfully.
l feel uneasy but
l don't know why.
l feel like l can find it
out while l'm reading it.
How is it going
with your husband?
l don't know.
Let's meet again,
we can go somewhere.
- What's the day today?
- Tuesday.
You know we've moved
very close to you.
l can stop by often
from now on.
lf l don't bother you.
No, but give a call
before you come.
OK. As you wish.
Don't misunderstand,
l just got my licence.
l'm eager to drive.
l may not be home.
l see. Enjoy yourself.
l'm going crazy about driving.
l can't stay at home anymore.
- lt is quarter past four, is it right?
- Twenty past.
l am leaving.
No one else could
stand me, accept you.
You stupid woman!
l'm sorry, l had
dazed off, come on in.
Hello.
- Where were you? - l was in
the bathroom l heard you but...
- Prepare something to eat.
- OK.
Hello.
Hello?
Selim?
- You may leave, Asl.
- OK, Mrs. Tulay.
Do you want to break up?
l am leaving Mrs. Tulay.
Turn it off Asl.
Turn it off.
l'll take a shower,
call Fatos and tell her
that l'll stop by her in an hour.
l called you this morning. Your
maid told me that you were out.
Ten minutes later she
called back and said
that you'd be here in an hour.
Then you came all messed up,
looking so pale, after nine hours.
Now will you tell me
what's going on?
- Are you OK?
- l 'm ruined, l'm ruined.
Tulay?
- Do you have light?
- Yes, of course.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Did't you go to the police?
This is insane.
What did you wait for?
l don't know. For a second,
it felt like l'd see the city.
Take it off if you like,
you will get hot and swelter.
Fatos, the fireworks have
just started. lt looks beautiful.
Look at them,
they're just like kids.
Now they're watching
the fire works.
l'm ruined, l'm ruined.
Tulay, what is going on?
- Come on man, come on?
- Stop it man.
- Stop it!
- Fuck you!
What are you doing here?
Go away!
What happened to your neck?
l was out, l caught cold.
Where did you go?
l just fooled around for a while.
You should have seen a doctor.
Stop... You will kill him!
Tulay, are you asleep?
- What are you watching?
- A horror movie.
What is it about?
l didn't understand out for.
l missed the begining of it.
But l guess it's about
alien invaders who are
in guise of humanbeings.
lt looks like
a good a movie.
Now you go and bring me
some rak and ice.
You drank too much,
Mrs. Tulay will get angry.
Come on Asl, bring it.
When did Tulay
come back home?
- l guess he is the leading man.
- Yes.
- That one with the
black sunglasses? - An alien
disguised as a priest.
Max knows it but to
catch them, he acts as
if he hasn't recognised him.
How come he knows
that they are aliens?
From the sunglasses.
A professor who died at
the begining, has found
it out and told it to Max.
Why did the professor die?
Because the aliens knew
that he was on their way.
They broke into his lab
one night and killed him.
That's bad. But thank
God that Max is there.
Yes, Max is there.
l guess Tulay is asleep,
she was very tired.
- Does she come late often?
- Sometimes.
There is something strange
about her nowadays.
Why do you leave some
questions unanswered?
Which questions?
- How is your mother?
- She's fine, she is just hanging on.
The movie is almost over.
Wasn't that man who
got shot an alien?
Yes, Max killed him when
he caught the others.
You may leave.
Your mother will worry.
l have to wash the dishes.
You can wash them tomorrow.
By the way l'll be on
a trip for a few days.
lf you need anything,
just tell me.
OK?
- Send my greetings to her.
- OK.
l'll kick the shit out of
you if you hurt me.
Halet...
lt's ready Mrs. Tulay.
- Good morning Asl.
- Good morning Mrs. Tulay.
Has Selim gone?
He left when you didn't
wake up. He'll call.
- How are you feeling?
- l'm fine. ls the bath ready?
lt's ready.
Mr. Selim was not well.
He said he'd go on a trip.
Why don't you eat mother?
What is the matter, mother?
What is wrong with you?
You look very pale.
What are you doing with
the money l send you?
- Answer me mother!
- Stop! Don't get angry so quickly.
Don't misunderstand me.
But aren't you sending us
one million a month?
lt's enough only for food.
Your brother is sick.
What one million, mother!
lt was evident that it'd be
like this, God damn it!
- Sorry?
- Are you deaf?
l said God damn it.
Open your eyes mother.
Didn't you ever wonder?
Every month, l'm sending
five million liras to that man.
Besides in the middle of the month
l sent you about ten million liras.
l never knew about it.
You never open your
mouth and say anything.
l'm tired of all of you!
You, that guy...
You are still after me.
Your chilrden sucks the blood out
of you and you don't say a word.
Your husband steals your money
and again you say nothing.
When l'm angry,
you never say anything.
Come on, don't be upset.
You know how crazy l am.
l really don't know what's
wrong with me nowadays.
l feel like hurting everyone.
l don't want to stop by the
neighborhood if you don't mind.
Madam...Madam...
What's wrong with you?
What?
Mind your own business!
Hello. l'm fine.
Leave me alone.
l went out to get some fresh air.
Am l under investigation?
l don't know maybe
l'll go to Fatos.
l'm bored do you understand!
OK, fine.
Why are you staring?
Do you know anything about
all these stupid questions?
Answer me!
Nothing Mrs. Tulay.
l am just worried.
She says l was looking back
while l was walking as if
l was being followed.
She says l've been
acting strange lately.
She says she worries about me.
Who the hell are you,
you little bitch?
Maybe she's right
about being worried.
Don't get angry.
l said maybe she is right.
Selim, the maid,
even the doorman...
... why would they act like this?
l am really bored.
lt's late. Let's go.
ls there another man?
Don't you have to tell your
husband what's happening?
Are you going to leave me with
lots of questions in my mind?
Tell me what's going on!
l'm coming.
Thanks.
- Are you OK?
- Do l look bad?
No.
You weren't well this morning.
- Why didn't you eat with me?
- l was full after cooking.
How can someone get
full after cooking?
Just so, l don't know.
- What are you watching?
- A soap opera.
- What kind of a soap opera?
- Just a soap opera.
Are you trying to
tell me something?
What do you mean?
l don't know. You've never
talked to me like that before.
l haven't been out for three days.
l just wanted to chat with you.
l'm sorry.
- l'll ask you something.
- Yes sure.
What did you think when you
found me like that, that morning?
- l mean l wasn't feeling too well.
- Nothing.
Just that you had drunk
and had some fun with Fatos.
Why did you ask?
Well, l thought you
might get wrong ideas.
Why would l get wrong ideas.
How could you think like that?
That night towards the morning
Mr. Selim called me up.
He said he called you and
when you didn't answer...
... he got worried and called me.
What did you say?
l told him that you'd been
with Mrs. Fatos.
And you had drunk too much so you'd
gone to bed and everything was OK.
- l'm leaving, Mrs. Tulay
- Why did you lie?
Something bad could happen.
You know that l and mom are
earning our lives from this house.
Good night.
- How are you?
- Thank you ma'am.
Do you need anything?
No, but l wanted to ask
if you needed anything.
- No thanks a lot ma'am.
- lf there is, just let me know.
Excuse me, do you have light?
Thank you.
Murderer! Murderer!
He is a murderer!
This was the last time l saw him.
There's a psychiatrist
l know if you want.
- Yes. Yes.
- Egemen is that you?
- This is Tulay. ls Fatos home?
- No, she went to Suzan's.
All right then.
l will call her tomorrow.
- By the way, what's the time?
- Half past twelve.
Right. Thanks, good night.
Mrs. Tulay.
- What are you doing here?
- l was waiting for you.
Why? Your master's gone and it
is your turn to keep an eye on me?
Mrs. Tulay.
You think l'm not aware
of the things you're after?
Cynical threats, pretending
that you're protecting me.
Who the hell are
you to protect me?
ln your little brain you think
you can save this marriage?
- Mrs. Tulay.
- Shut up!
Now....
Now, pack up and get
the fuck out of this house.
- Mrs. Tulay...
- Fuck off!
l just wanted to kill
him for a moment.
His looks were disgusting
and cold as ice.
Then l realised that
everything was left behind.
lt still was painful.
We didn't say a word.
l left. lt was raining.
Then l turned back to look.
The blocks had grown up
like monsters in the night.
The lights of some of
the flats were on.
lt seemed odd.
l tried to guess the numbers.
8,33,49,61 ...
l walked in the streets
all night long.
l couldn't believe
what has happened.
Finally l went to my mother
after all those years.
l did this for exactly five days.
At nights, l fell asleep the moment
l put my head on the pillow.
l had forgotten my life in
the block, Selim, Asl...
l even remembered my
car many days later.
l got in the car and l
suspected for a second if
l was the one who's driving.
Then l found myself on the road.
l drove and drove and drove.
lt was like a melancholy poem.
l was begining to
understand slowly.
The days passed and this
was the only fact l knew.
As the poet says ''l was drifted away
by merciful slow running water.''
l rented a flat in Uskudar
and moved in.
By the way, keep that in mind,
l am looking for a job.
l'll talk to Mr. Naci if you want.
He's been asking about you.
lt was my first morning
in my new house.
l woke up early.
All of a sudden
l thought of him.
l missed him and
l wanted to see him.
- l will do some shoping.
- Don't be late.
- l won't.
- My guests are coming tonight.
By the way, my mother is very
thankful to you for giving me a job.
lt's OK.
You go now.
- My greetings to your mother.
- OK.
You go. l need to see
someone downstairs.
- l'm looking for Halet.
- His father is there.
The man's looking awful.
He couldn't speak.
He cried. l thought
he was dead.
l remembered the
last time l saw him.
He had a scar on his face left from
the struggle with the murderer.
He locked himself in the house for
days after he left the hospital.
Later, they saw him a few
times waiting for me.
ln the end Asl had told
him that l'd gone.
That night he'd gotten lost.
And no one could hear
from him for days.
At last his father had found
his trace at a police station.
They had told him that
he stayed there for 3 days.
And then sent him to an asylum.
They've messed up
everything again.
l'm not going to let them
gather here anymore.
Happy New Year...
