[Murat on tape] "Colorless green
ideas sleep furiously."
How is this sentence
any different from jabbering?
Yeah, let Chomsky elaborate on that.
[soldier 1] In pursuit of target.
[Murat] This is the challenge
to overcome in machine learning.
- [soldier 2] Move! Move!
- [music intensifies]
[Murat] A level six jabberer.
A connection snapped
in the depths of my brain.
No one's ever looked at me that way.
It was so intense,
I could almost taste
that stare in my mouth.
[Murat] They don't let you
go out after 7:00 p.m. anymore.
I heard they might put
this region under quarantine
because the cases
are so much higher in this area.
[soldier 1] Go! Go! Go!
[Murat] It feels like Özgür
has something else in mind.
After the jabbering level studies,
the AEI started
to become more controlling.
We don't know what's going to happen,
but Özgür is resist
[tape fast-forwards, clicks]
[Murat] Is this going to work every time?
And for every jabberer?
[soldier on radio]
We lost track of the subject, sir.

Makbule's was a very bad idea.
I sensed something.
Those men were on my doorstep.
Would they do something to my mom?
She wouldn't shut up about the soap. She
Where did I hit my head? Dammit.
- Oof
- [digital clock beeping]
Does Ertem have a thermometer?
I had to leave everything at home.
I told her no bus used that route anymore.
She said she knew.
That's why she was waiting.
[chuckles] But what can you say
to someone who doesn't even
want her wait to be disrupted
by the arrival of a bus? Huh?
What can you say?
Soap. Everything started 'cause of that.
[up-tempo music playing]
Hold on a second.
The pot of the withered plant.
I hope she remembers that.
Mom got stuck there. Get off your ass.
Get off your ass. Huh? See?
See? I did get off my ass.
That lady was asking,
but I don't even know the woman's name.
She told me she hoped I wouldn't sacrifice
my instinct for friction
to my mass of matter.
Arif says Özgür is alive. [chuckles]
Dude, I gave it all up.
I gave everything up. It's finished.
And out of the blue, the red pine.
Galanthus byzantinus.
I have no idea how running No!
Wait! Hey, I'm not a jabberer.
I swear, I'm not a jabberer, bro.
Is Ertem in there? Ertem! Ertem!
I swear to you, I'm not a jabberer, okay?
Please do not press that.
We don't want trouble with the AEI.
I'm begging you. Ertem is a family friend.
I've been his patient for years, I swear.
[music fades]
- Ertem!
- [panting]
- [Ertem] Quiet.
- What?
Stop talking. Stop it.
- Be quiet.
- I've been squirming here.
- And you've been watching
- Don't speak.
- from your secret compartment?
- Take a breath.
[exhales]
Professor, I'm out if this
is what we're gonna have to deal with.
Here you are.
Go, go, go.
Go.
So, what happened? What's wrong with you?
You're only asking that right now?
[tense music playing]
[Anton] How did Murat know
that we were here?
It was probably
your men's superior skills.
That what'd I say.
That's a car freshener.
I know what it is.
I'm just not used
to seeing it in the kitchen.
The kitchen fan is broken.
Freshens up the space nicely.
[indistinct radio chatter]
Oh yes, that plant isn't fond of its spot.
I mean, if you're wondering.
Murat. Any idea where could he have gone?
Officer, please.
Give me a break.
You barge in here and give me
the third degree without a
Oh, sorry.
Well, I guess
that's all in the past, right?
You don't officially
live in this apartment.
What are you doing here?
Well, just trying to survive.
We're taking all of Murat's belongings.
Put a guard at the door.
All right, but why
is the AEI coming after you?
[Murat] Because of my previous status.
What do you mean?
Do you remember that research team?
Özgür, Project X, and all that?
And? What?
Why are they coming after you now?
[inhales sharply]
[Murat sighs]
I've got a special condition, Ertem.
Oh.
[sighs]
Well how long have you been
harboring these sorts
of thoughts in your mind?
Never mind.
Okay, coming here was a mistake.
Murat. Murat, Murat. Hold it.
Are you staying somewhere?
[sighs]
No.
Come on, stay with me tonight.
We can hang out.
[chuckles] Yeah.
I've started making my own raki now.
- You're making your own?
- Yeah. Seriously.
Believe me, it's incredibly tasty.
There's a speakeasy, this tavern.
Been supplying raki for them
and it's delivery night.
If you want, we can meet there.
How 'bout it?
But they'll ask you
for a password at the door.
I'll write it down for you. Mmm?

NOTEBOOK FOR EMERGENCIES

ANTI-EPIDEMIC INSTITUTION
[Fazıl] We are at war with the epidemic,
and this facility
is designed to show the public
all our hard work.
[woman] Will the lab be ready
for the grand opening?
[Fazıl] Yes, the construction
is going exactly as planned.
[man] How are reactions
to the rallying ban?
The public has shown no reaction,
but the group known as Plus 1
may be planning
a counterprotest against us,
so we're watching.
[woman] We have a positive view
of your work and your decisions.
Suat may enter now.
- Hello, Fazıl.
- Suat.
This laboratory
You're banning the rally, they tell me.
Those are some convenient decisions. Huh?
It is the reassignment year.
Suat.
It's Anton Tarakçı.
[Fazıl] What is it?
Anton. Anton Tarakçı.
He ignored your warning
and is meddling with things he shouldn't.
So find out what he's up to.
And get me a copy of his file.

Cats are all upset. They don't want to go
- If only we could teleport
- Şenel!
I keep telling you
to keep this door closed.
Get out! Out, out, out. Let's go.
into the section too. I promise.
You're late again.
You said four. You're late.
My whole week's been like this.
And my Çikolet
hasn't had anything all day.
I apologize, but this is pure misery.
Especially for you.
I told you to come to the quarantine zone.
I made a promise to help you.
But I have my own problems
and my own life to live.
Oh my God.
This is when you decide to show?
You're gonna get me jabbering, dammit!
[sighs]
Enough. You've got to stop
wasting your time, Anton.
What do you mean?
How could you say that, Şenel?
Listen to me.
Let it go, I beg you.
Because you know I'm right.
You have to accept it.
Accept it, Anton.
Just accept it?
Oh, I see.
You're trying
to sneak your way out of this.
Stop beating around the bush.
Tell me you don't want to come here.
Tell me it's too much for you.
[Şenel sighs]
Really? That's what you got out of this?
You're disgraceful, Anton!

You son of a

Anybody here?

[ominous music playing]
- Who the fuck are you?
- [Murat] Ow!
Hey!
[Murat grunts] Wait!
- [tattoo machine whirring]
- Who the hell are you?
[grunting] Let go!
- Wait!
- Hey! Who the fuck are you?!
[audio distorts]
I'm a friend of Özgür Çağlar! Murat!
What are you talking about?
You a fucking jabberer!
- [both grunt]
- [machine powers down]
[panting]
[tattoo machine whirring]
[audio distorts]
Just take those off!
You can take those off!
[panting]
I know
Özgür Çağlar. Murat.
It was years ago.
We came to you. I'm his friend.
I'm looking for Özgür.
Is your name Kenan?
I'm Kenan.
[panting]
Would you Would you please turn that off?
[machine powers down]
[sighs]
Freak! Why'd you enter the shop
like a burglar?
What's the matter with you?
Door was open. That's how I got in.
He's dead. You know that, right?
[panting] I know.
I know Özgür's supposed to be dead, but
The pills have a pattern that looks like
They look just like Özgür's tattoo.
Where'd you get these pills from?
This is the funnel I drew for Özgür.
How do you know?
It's a perfect copy.
What do you fucking mean, how do I know?
- This
- Hey, get out of here, man.
- Get out! Go away!
- [door opens, closes]
[woman] Know that wall
bordering on District 14?
- The infamous AEI relief?
- [Kenan sighs]
[woman] Plus 1 blew it up.
There are agents everywhere.
- I shut the door downstairs.
- Go.
So, what's the plan for today?
- How about we do inner thighs?
- Sure, sure.
Oh, hi. We're bringing in guys like him?
No, uh He's not a jabberer.
He brought us paints and now he's leaving.
Okay, man? Bye.
Maybe he could give us a hand.
No, I can handle this myself. Come on.
Baby, go in there. Go.
[scoffs]
Hey, listen to me.
Murat, I don't know you, but Özgür's gone.
Whoever printed my funnel
on those pills, to hell with them.
Now, just leave
so I can get back to business.
But those pills, where can I find more?
You really asking me that?
You want pills? Look around.
In the sixth zone, naturally.
[dramatic music plays]
[Cevat on radio] So, what happened?
Did you catch the guy?
He knew that we were there somehow.
We couldn't get him.
Oh boy.
So, there is actually somebody
on this earth who can evade you, huh?
I brought some stuff from his place.
He recorded tapes, like keeping a diary.
Got anything from the tapes?
Nothing yet.
Some of the tapes
have recordings of jabberings.
It could be
he's recording them to listen to later.
So he's listening to jabbering on purpose?
Yeah, I find it hard
to make sense of any of this.
He's not jabbering,
but his head heats up?
What do I set the oven to?
[Cevat] 350 degrees.
Copy that, Commander. Thanks.
Don't mention it, Anton. Copy that.
[knocking]
I do not speak in vain.
I am a parrot. I speak in miracles.

[hinge creaks]
ANISEED CURES JABBERING
[man on radio] The information released
by the Global Association
of Centers for Disease Control
shows that the epidemic in Asia
is out of control.
[parrot squawks]
The association's Asian Council
is planning to enforce a ban
Hey, stop goofing around
and take these mezes over to table 7.
[Turkish classical music
playing on stereo]
All right. To your health.
Mmm.
It's been a while
since I've had raki. Wow.
It's like riding a bike.
Another glass and you'll be on your back.
Well, you thought about
what you're gonna do?
I'll find him.
I thought Özgür was dead.
He was.
I don't know. I'm not sure.
And when you find him, what then?
I'll go back to my old life.
But I've gotta get into
the sixth zone to find him.
Son, even if someone's
carving your ass up,
everyone would turn a blind eye there.
Full of jabberers and wackos.
It's uncontrolled and it's dangerous.
I'll find a way.
First, I need to contact my mom.
Find out if she's okay.
Emel is resilient, don't worry about her.
Look at me.
For years now, I've been trying to
get you out of your mother's place,
and now you're here, telling me
that you're going to the sixth zone.
What changed? Huh?
What's her name?
[man 1] Guys, there's a jabberer here!
Put your headphones on, get 'em on now!
Just playing!
- [man 2] I'm gonna rip you another one!
- [man 3] Outrageous!
[overlapping angry chatter]
- [man 2] What the hell?
- Let's go. Let's go!
- Hold on!
- [bouncer] Fuck you and your prank.
Seriously? What the hell?
At least let me finish my drink.
[man 4] Get him the fuck out.
Hey, I'm all ears.
Galanthus byzantinus.
- Our snowdrop flower.
- Cheers.

JANUARY 31ST, GALATA
[exhales sharply]
[player clicks]
[Murat] In the lab
[player clicks]
[Murat] my third week in the lab,
and although
at first I had no hope at all,
after our initial findings,
my opinions started to shift.
From what we know, I managed
to cook up a few hypotheses in my mind.
Out of all those, the blank page
hypothesis is what I'm dwelling on.
[player clicks]
[bottles clinking]
It's okay, everything's okay.
Everything's okay.
[chuckles]
Ooh. That's wonderful.
Hey. Here we go.
I left it here. Perfect.
Look, this is special.
Smooth as silk.
I make this just for me. Not for sale.
But
you have to be a man
and drink it straight.
Here you go.
[soft ambient music playing]
For in the season that mother nature died
is the perseverance of life.
Galanthus, hey?
Come on, then. Cheers.
[Ertem sighs]
Lately it feels like
death follows me everywhere, Ertem.
Your wife's death
wasn't your fault, Murat.
Derya was jabbering.
She took her own life.
It wasn't your fault.
Please don't throw away this chance.
You have to chase that feeling
that's awakened you from your slumber.
Now,
it's time for another beginning.
Cheers.
[Murat] This'll be the first time
we've had a chance
to work on a level six jabberer.
Though I'm not sure "chance"
is the word to describe it.
It looks extremely dangerous to me,
but Özgür is on
the other side of the fence,
feeling very excited about it.
He thinks this'll be a major breakthrough
on the path to finding a cure.
[player clicks]
[Murat] It's like coming back
from the dead, this gift Özgür's given me.
A cure filled with secrets.
And the guy with all the answers to
my questions has vanished into thin air.
But it looks like, even if I wanted to,
I'm unable to jabber.
[tape rewinding]
But it looks like, even if I wanted to,
I'm unable to jabber.

- Man, what's wrong with you?
Sorry about that.
The AEI is after me.
- After you? But
- Shh.
Please listen to me.
I'm going into the sixth zone
to find Özgür and bring him back.
Wow! Good for you, man! That's amaz
I need your help, Arif.
Sure. I mean, anything you need.

AEI
ANTI-EPIDEMIC INSTITUTION
Sir, where the heck have you been?
I was up till dawn listening
to the tapes Murat Siyavuş recorded.
Okay, but now, Fazıl
He talks about the most peculiar things.
- Um, sir, Fazıl has been
- He's revealing everything.
He can't jabber even if he wants to.
He could be the key to all of this.
- We need to find him, no matter what.
- Yes, sir.
We'll find him, but right now
we have more pressing concerns.
Fazıl heard about yesterday's raid
and he's expecting you in his office.
[sighs]
Ah, here you are.
Didn't I tell you to forget
this Murat Siyavuş
and that maintaining order
was our top priority?
Sir, why don't you take
this matter more seriously?
You think it's best to question me?
Now it appears
that you have something of a habit
of disobeying orders.
Do not mistake me for other people, Anton.
Make another mistake like this
and I won't be so forgiving.
Now, I want you to report
this investigation you're doing
on Murat Siyavuş
and hand it over with all the evidence.
There's no evidence.
The guy slipped through our fingers.
[tense music playing]
You will mind your own business.
Intelligence has located the militants
who carried out the bombing.
I want these Plus 1 militants
captured immediately.
[door closes]
[Fazıl] Deal with this, Canan.
These claims are not credible.
We can't have anyone finding out
we've been chasing after some fraud.
Nothing can go wrong
on the eve of the grand opening.
Follow up on this.
We must prove that this guy is not immune.
Put an end to this.
Understood.
Keep your eyes on that Anton.
It seems he's got something to prove.
When my savviness for quality service
creates loyal clients like yourself,
I couldn't be happier.
So, you're going to
be able to get me an ID?
The king of IDs, Murat.
- Every single region, including the sixth.
- Good.
- As long as you've got the money.
- What is it?
We need a couple of scanners,
600 for those, 2,500 total.
You'll get a makeover.
New hair and beard
so no one will recognize you.
The money I'll get,
but I need it tomorrow.
Is that doable?
Well
Demanding customer. I love to see it.
Done.
Just get here, same time tomorrow.
[energetic music playing]
FIEFDOM
Let's see, now
BLACK PLASTIC BAG
INSTRUCTIONS!!!
TAKE THESE WITH YOU
Murat's place. You find anything there?
No, sir. Nothing interesting.
No tapes. A bunch of useless stuff.
Some antidepressants
and a prescription were inside the box.
Prescription?
[riffling through papers]
PRESCRIPTION
E.K.
Now, sir, about Fazıl, I
To hell with Fazıl.
This guy's been here inside this zone,
under our noses.
Have his photo printed out
and distributed in crowded areas.
I won't let this guy get away
when I'm this close to him.
- Sir, do we have a death wish? The
- Serhat!
Do as I say.
All right, Chief.

[cow mooing]
[mooing]
[sighs]
[Murat] I don't know how long
I can carry this secret.
The inside of my head is boiling.
I'm sure Mom told Ertem
that I've gone crazy.
- Now I have to deal with these sessions
- [rewinding]
I'm sure Mom told Ertem that I've gone
[Anton] Serhat!
Serhat!
[Serhat] Chief, shh.
E.K. Were those the initials
on the prescription?
We're in the middle of an operation.
Don't you think it's a bad time?
- Was it E.K. or C.K.?
- Shh.
Answer the question. Was it E.K. or C.K.?
- How 'bout we talk later?
- Answer me, Serhat! Which was it?
Sir, we can talk after the operation.
[intense electronic music playing]
AEI!
[indistinct yelling]
[gunshots]
[Anton] Stand up! Let me see your hands!
[man 1] We'll make you pay for this!
[grunting]
[man 2] Wait! Lapdogs!
[man 3] Fuck you, AEI!
Bastards!
Ow! Ow! Stop it!
E.K. or C.K., which was it?
All right, it was E.K.
It was E.K.!
Ertem K.
[Serhat sighs]
Hmm.
Murat mentioned someone on those tapes.
That must be who wrote the prescription.
His name's Ertem.
Look for a psychiatrist
whose family name starts with K.
- Let's go.
- All right, sir.
Did you check upstairs?
[Emel] A man called Anton was in charge.
He ransacked the whole place.
Your tapes, your stuff,
he took everything.
This is bad.
You're okay, right, Mom?
What are you gonna do now?
Ah, he's going to the sixth zone.
How will you get there?
They're all over the place.
I'll get a fake ID.
A fake ID? For the sixth zone?
[murmurs] Be careful.
So when are you leaving?
You have the tickets, right?
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Mother.
I'm not going.
I'm too damn old to live on the run.
- I'm staying here.
- You can't.
They won't leave you alone
while AEI is after me.
- I can.
- You can't!
Hey, stay out of it, Murat!
I'll be fine on my own.
Don't worry, all right?
[sighs] Did you bring the money?
- What money?
- What do you mean, what money?
The instructions in my journal
are very specific.
The last line.
"Do not forget to bring money."
Three exclamation marks.
You know I can hardly see, son.
You can see Sudoku just fine!
We're out of money, Murat.
Why do you even ask that?
[scoffs]
How am I gonna get the ID without money?

What do you think then, Behzat?

Think we'll be able to find a cure

[radio static hissing]
[Murat] You trying to tune into
the Plus 1 broadcast?
Mm-hm.
You heard about the bombing, right?
Those people are dealing
with dangerous stuff. Be careful.
No, the real danger is AEI, man.
That's what I'm saying.
Don't mess with the AEI.
Arif, please stay away from that.
- [man on radio] To all those listening
- [Arif] Hm. Got it.
I want to close tonight's broadcast
with a public declaration from Plus 1.
The global panic
which increases day by day,
the public's desire to contain the spread,
and the representatives of this desire,
the AEI.
The AEI slaughtered large masses
of jabberers five years ago
under the false pretense
of preventing an epidemic wave.
The rightful protests that spread
throughout the country
in the aftermath were suppressed with
unspeakable and unimaginable violence.
[Makbule sighs]
Now, on the fifth anniversary of Kocaeli,
they want to ban our march
to commemorate the ones we lost.
They are trying to suppress our voices.
They will not be able to succeed.
Whatever they do,
we exist and we are here.
Good night.
[woman on radio] Early morning,
when everybody at the site arrived
Hold this, would you?
I want you to take this.
- I can't, Aunt Makbule. You need this.
- Oh, just take it.
Take it, son.
Maybe it'll do you some good. Take it.
[sighs] It will. Thanks.

It's far enough.
I'll go on.
And we're here.
I can see the apartment
complex right there.
Ah, you're making me nervous, Murat!
I told you,
they have some men at the gate.
I don't get it.
Did you plug your ears with something?
All right, you'll enter
through the coal house.
By yourself, right?
Well, I can't, you know,
because I'm a total moron.
Makbule gave you that money.
That won't be enough, will it?
No, it won't.
I can't take that, Mom. I can't.
- Take this, here.
- Enough.
I can't take Safiye's necklace, Mom.
Just take this and shut up.
Go.
- Uh, be careful, okay?
- You too.
Sir, I've found out the identity of Ertem.
His last name's Kanatlı.
He's not at his registered address,
but I'll keep probing.
I tried opening
Murat Siyavuş's file last night.
Access has been denied.
- How is that?

Sorry, man.
I mean, you're nice.
I'm afraid, however,
we have our price policy.
No discounts for anyone.
This makes up for the rest of it.
Good. Good.
But you're not gonna sell that to anyone.
You'll get the money,
and I'll get the necklace.
One month. Then I'll fence it.
Like I said, this is business.
Can't be getting emotional, my good man.
Come. Have a seat.
And take that off.
[pensive music playing]
Now, before we create an ID for you,
we'll give you a good haircut.
Customer satisfaction is our priority.

I won't make it too short.
Just gonna get rid
of that mop on your head.
A natural look!
You can put your glasses on.
Here you go.

Great.
All right, I'm issuing a visa for this ID

to upload the new pictures.

[Erol] What the hell is AEI doing here?
Pack it up!
Just pack it up!
Pack it up! Take them all!
Where is he?
Check the premises.
You don't listen to anyone. All right.
So I'm taking point in this operation.
You understand?
Got it?
[Erol sighs]
The risk analysis must have been wrong.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this mess.
My good sir, give me the apron.
You should have told me that AEI agents
were all over your ass.
Thank you! That money isn't worth this.
Now, how are we going to get out of here?
Wait, wait. Wait.
What?

Remember that.
Hey, so, what's with the AEI?
Will this ID card work?
[inhales sharply]
You're my favorite,
but I take that as an insult.
How can you ask that?
I gotta get out of this zone
as quickly as possible.
AEI is everywhere.
I would wait a little longer. Come on.

Be careful.
This man's become an obsession for you.
I don't want you to lose yourself.
[Anton] The guy recorded tapes.
He reveals everything in his own words.
He really is immune to this disease.
If he jabbered and he recovered,
that means there's a cure for jabbering.
Or, if he is just naturally immune,
then there is hope
for the fight against the disease.
What if he's just crazy?
Maybe he never even jabbered.
I remember you had candles for a cake.
Yeah.
Let me go get them

[Murat] They don't let you

I heard they might put
this region under quarantine
because the cases
are so much higher in this area.

No, uh He's not a jabberer.
He brought us paints and now he's leaving.
Okay, man? Bye.
Maybe he could give us a hand.
No, I can handle this myself. Come on.
Baby, go in there. Go.

Hey, listen to me.
Murat, I don't know you, but Özgür's gone.
Whoever printed my funnel
on those pills, to hell with them.
Now, just leave
so I can get back to business.
But those pills, where can I find more?
You really asking me that?
You want pills? Look around.
In the sixth zone, naturally.

Did you catch the guy?
He knew that we were there somehow.
We couldn't get him.
Oh boy.
So, there is actually somebody
on this earth who can evade you, huh?
I brought some stuff from his place.
He recorded tapes, like keeping a diary.
Got anything from the tapes?
Nothing yet.
Some of the tapes
have recordings of jabberings.
It could be
he's recording them to listen to later.
So he's listening to jabbering on purpose?
Yeah, I find it hard
to make sense of any of this.
He's not jabbering,
but his head heats up?
What do I set the oven to?

And when you find him, what then?
I'll go back to my old life.
But I've gotta get into

everyone would turn a blind eye there.

Find out if she's okay.

Look at me.

Please don't throw away this chance.
You have to chase that feeling

Now,
it's time for another beginning.

we've had a chance
to work on a level six jabberer.
Though I'm not sure "chance"
is the word to describe it.
It looks extremely dangerous to me,
but Özgür is on
the other side of the fence,
feeling very excited about it.
He thinks this'll be a major breakthrough
on the path to finding a cure.

[Murat] It's like coming back
from the dead, this gift Özgür's given me.

He can't jabber even if he wants to.
He could be the key to all of this.

We'll find him, but right now
we have more pressing concerns.
Fazıl heard about yesterday's raid
and he's expecting you in his office.

Ah, here you are.
Didn't I tell you to forget
this Murat Siyavuş
and that maintaining order
was our top priority?
Sir, why don't you take
this matter more seriously?
You think it's best to question me?
Now it appears
that you have something of a habit
of disobeying orders.
Do not mistake me for other people, Anton.
Make another mistake like this
and I won't be so forgiving.
Now, I want you to report
this investigation you're doing
on Murat Siyavuş

There's no evidence.

We can't have anyone finding out

We must prove that this guy is not immune.
Put an end to this.
Understood.
Keep your eyes on that Anton.
It seems he's got something to prove.
When my savviness for quality service
creates loyal clients like yourself,
I couldn't be happier.
So, you're going to
be able to get me an ID?

- Every single region, including the sixth.
- Good.
- As long as you've got the money.

We're in the middle of an operation.
Don't you think it's a bad time?
- Was it E.K. or C.K.?
- Shh.
Answer the question. Was it E.K. or C.K.?
- How 'bout we talk later?
- Answer me, Serhat! Which was it?
Sir, we can talk after the operation.
[intense electronic music playing]
AEI!
[indistinct yelling]
[gunshots]
[Anton] Stand up! Let me see your hands!
[man 1] We'll make you pay for this!
[grunting]
[man 2] Wait! Lapdogs!
[man 3] Fuck you, AEI!
Bastards!
Ow! Ow! Stop it!
E.K. or C.K., which was it?
All right, it was E.K.
It was E.K.!
Ertem K.
[Serhat sighs]
Hmm.
Murat mentioned someone on those tapes.
That must be who wrote the prescription.
His name's Ertem.
Look for a psychiatrist
whose family name starts with K.
- Let's go.
- All right, sir.
Did you check upstairs?
[Emel] A man called Anton was in charge.
He ransacked the whole place.
Your tapes, your stuff,
he took everything.
This is bad.
You're okay, right, Mom?
What are you gonna do now?
Ah, he's going to the sixth zone.
How will you get there?
They're all over the place.
I'll get a fake ID.
A fake ID? For the sixth zone?
[murmurs] Be careful.
So when are you leaving?
You have the tickets, right?
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Mother.
I'm not going.
I'm too damn old to live on the run.
- I'm staying here.
- You can't.
They won't leave you alone
while AEI is after me.
- I can.
- You can't!
Hey, stay out of it, Murat!
I'll be fine on my own.
Don't worry, all right?
[sighs] Did you bring the money?
- What money?
- What do you mean, what money?
The instructions in my journal
are very specific.
The last line.
"Do not forget to bring money."
Three exclamation marks.
You know I can hardly see, son.
You can see Sudoku just fine!
We're out of money, Murat.
Why do you even ask that?
[scoffs]
How am I gonna get the ID without money?

What do you think then, Behzat?
Will I be able to find Özgür?
Think we'll be able to find a cure
for these heads of ours?
[radio static hissing]
[Murat] You trying to tune into
the Plus 1 broadcast?
Mm-hm.
You heard about the bombing, right?
Those people are dealing
with dangerous stuff. Be careful.
No, the real danger is AEI, man.
That's what I'm saying.
Don't mess with the AEI.
Arif, please stay away from that.
- [man on radio] To all those listening
- [Arif] Hm. Got it.
I want to close tonight's broadcast
with a public declaration from Plus 1.
The global panic
which increases day by day,
the public's desire to contain the spread,
and the representatives of this desire,
the AEI.
The AEI slaughtered large masses
of jabberers five years ago
under the false pretense
of preventing an epidemic wave.
The rightful protests that spread
throughout the country
in the aftermath were suppressed with
unspeakable and unimaginable violence.
[Makbule sighs]
Now, on the fifth anniversary of Kocaeli,
they want to ban our march
to commemorate the ones we lost.
They are trying to suppress our voices.
They will not be able to succeed.
Whatever they do,
we exist and we are here.
Good night.
[woman on radio] Early morning,
when everybody at the site arrived
Hold this, would you?
I want you to take this.
- I can't, Aunt Makbule. You need this.
- Oh, just take it.
Take it, son.
Maybe it'll do you some good. Take it.
[sighs] It will. Thanks.

HIGH SECURITY ACCESS
ACCESS DENIED
[beeping]
It's far enough.
I'll go on.
And we're here.
I can see the apartment
complex right there.
Ah, you're making me nervous, Murat!
I told you,
they have some men at the gate.
I don't get it.
Did you plug your ears with something?
All right, you'll enter
through the coal house.
By yourself, right?
Well, I can't, you know,
because I'm a total moron.
Makbule gave you that money.
That won't be enough, will it?
No, it won't.
I can't take that, Mom. I can't.
- Take this, here.
- Enough.
I can't take Safiye's necklace, Mom.
Just take this and shut up.
Go.
- Uh, be careful, okay?
- You too.
Sir, I've found out the identity of Ertem.
His last name's Kanatlı.
He's not at his registered address,
but I'll keep probing.
I tried opening
Murat Siyavuş's file last night.
Access has been denied.
- How is that?
- [item clangs]
[scoffs] They're out of candles.
[man on radio] Fortress, Lookout Zero-One.
Go ahead, Lookout Zero-One, Fortress here.
Suspect spotted
near the apartment complex, sir.
I'm following him on foot. Over.
We're on our way now.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Erol] All right.
[music fades]
Mm
Not enough money.
I apologize,
but this is all could find. Please
[tutting]
Sorry, man.
I mean, you're nice.
I'm afraid, however,
we have our price policy.
No discounts for anyone.
This makes up for the rest of it.
Good. Good.
But you're not gonna sell that to anyone.
You'll get the money,
and I'll get the necklace.
One month. Then I'll fence it.
Like I said, this is business.
Can't be getting emotional, my good man.
Come. Have a seat.
And take that off.
[pensive music playing]
Now, before we create an ID for you,
we'll give you a good haircut.
Customer satisfaction is our priority.
[laughs]
I won't make it too short.
Just gonna get rid
of that mop on your head.
A natural look!
You can put your glasses on.
Here you go.
- Cheese!
- [shutter clicks]
- Another? Wonderful.
- [shutter clicks]
- Another one for me.
- [shutter clicks]
Great.
All right, I'm issuing a visa for this ID
that will be valid for all regions.
And we just need
to upload the new pictures.
- [computer beeps]
- There it is.
Here you go.
Your ticket to the sixth zone.
IDENTIFICATION CARD
Mesut Bahtiyar? Only one available?
Even though he paid me with beads,
he has the gall to complain. Amazing.
Your kind is my favorite type
of client, my good sir.
[ominous music playing]
[beeping]
[Erol] What the hell is AEI doing here?
Pack it up!
Just pack it up!
Pack it up! Take them all!
Where is he?
Check the premises.
You don't listen to anyone. All right.
So I'm taking point in this operation.
You understand?
Got it?
[Erol sighs]
The risk analysis must have been wrong.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this mess.
My good sir, give me the apron.
You should have told me that AEI agents
were all over your ass.
Thank you! That money isn't worth this.
Now, how are we going to get out of here?
Wait, wait. Wait.
What?
Anton Tarakçı, who never cares
about anything or anyone
Why are you so interested in this guy?
What's it to you, Canan?

You need to let this go
before you get yourself
in any more trouble.
All right. We're safe here.
That electric shaver goes on your tab.
Remember that.
Hey, so, what's with the AEI?
Will this ID card work?
[inhales sharply]
You're my favorite,
but I take that as an insult.
How can you ask that?
I gotta get out of this zone
as quickly as possible.
AEI is everywhere.
I would wait a little longer. Come on.
Let's get inside.

Wow. It's really you.
Long time no see.
Sorry, I can't stay for long, Commander.
Everything okay?
The man is like a rat.
He always finds a crack to escape through.
Be careful.
This man's become an obsession for you.
I don't want you to lose yourself.
[Anton] The guy recorded tapes.
He reveals everything in his own words.
He really is immune to this disease.
If he jabbered and he recovered,
that means there's a cure for jabbering.
Or, if he is just naturally immune,
then there is hope
for the fight against the disease.
What if he's just crazy?
Maybe he never even jabbered.
I remember you had candles for a cake.
Yeah.
Let me go get them
from the next room. Wait here.
[phone ringing]
Talk to me.
[Serhat] We might have found
Ertem Kanatlı's office.
Okay.
That's it? We're not gonna go check it?
