Original subtitles

Some of the events that have been told in this movie hopefully have...

nothing to do with actual people or institutions

Where the hell am I?

- In the exam. - What exam?

What exam do you think? The Student Selection Exam.

Which of the following is the right indicator for a surgery to start?

Yes ... I am giving you the choices

What on earth is going on?

Who is this Hamurabi? Speak!

What do you think will happen when you cannot pass this test?

They are going to get you married to a man.

Who the hell is this man?

He came to ask for your hand.

What did you do professor? You've cut the wrong vein.

What is this x issue?

X is the unknown, sometimes also be y or z.

This could go up to three unknowns.

Aysel, are you match-making again?

Who are you working for?

Who could I be working for; I am working for myself.

- Let go. - Dad.

It's my fault that I trusted you, and accepted this operation.

Stop spitting, there is an open wound here. You'll be infected.

Shut up, you jackass. I'm already out of anesthesia.

Who is going to suture me?

What do you mean? I don't know how to do that.

What do you mean, I don't know!

I didn't study that part thinking there wouldn't be any questions about it.

What are you doing dad?

You are now considered to be one of the martyrs of the SSE.

It's God's will...

So you're nervous, heh?

System of education would be very pleasan

handle, if we didn't have the schools

Age of Decline for the Ottoman Empire General Minister of Education

This is the last week for applications to the Student Selection Exam...

which has turned into a nightmare for both the students...

and their parents.

Different from previous years, students will now be responsible for

the subjects they were taught during the last year of high school too.

The system renown for its frequent changes has changed again.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that what we learn in school

is not enough for us to be successful in the Student Selection Exam

Are the kids supposed to determine their future in 180 minutes again?

Does this mean that life equals 180 minutes?

We have already extended it for another 15 minutes.

Every year, we work really hard to make system more fair.

We are not pushing him that much; we just want him to be in a good school.

Do parents really know that it's very difficult to achieve a good result?

It is cruel to expect the students to get a result about their lives

and careers in just 195 minutes.

Parents, not knowing what to do, enroll their children in so-called

preparatory courses.

We offer special services based on the skills of our beloved kids...

I should also point out that last year's winner...

attended our course.

Successful students are already offered free courses.

Has there ever been a winner among the students who have paid millions?

This is the most reliable and the most fair system in this country.

The exam is on Sunday, June 18th. Good luck to everyone.

I'd like to know what you think about this year's new exam system.

- Do you have some time? - Isn't time what we all are short of?

Yes, as you can see, the excitement of the exam has already...

surrounded the students.

Defne Deliormanli. Beykoz, Istanbul.

I had all sorts of nightmares last night.

What kind of nightmare?

Dude, my dad had me arrested by some men, okay?

- Good morning. - Hey, don't laugh.

Come on dude, you should listen too.

He ordered that I be taken to the station. Rafet was one of the men there.

He had me questioned about all that I've learnt from my studies.

Dude, in my family, it's always my dad who has the nightmares.

He is obsessed with some tribal issues.

When my mom passed away, my grandpa wanted to take me to Urfa.

My dad didn't send me, insisting that he'd educate me himself.

Now, he's stressed out worrying about me not being able to pass the exam.

And how about my parents, man?

They don't even see a doctor thinking I'll get into medical school anyway.

Hang in there dad. Next year, we'll have a supporter in the hospital

You'll be the parents of a doctor. Isn't that right?

Yeah, yeah! Last night, I saw what a good doctor he is.

I passed away. I don't want a doctor like him.

I woke up covered in sweat. Jackass.

Thanks to my dad, I am like German made watches.

Every minute has been planned and scheduled.

If they could, they wouldn't even let me take a dump.

What the hell are we going to do like this?

Where have you been girl? You weren't here when I came.

How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn't call me "girl".

Obviously, Gamze had some beautiful dreams

last night and she's not awake yet.

I've strived against match-makers all night.

Professor Fatma came to ask for my hand in marriage for her son.

I've sent my parents too with flowers and chocolate. Didn't they come?

In your dreams...

The Principal's here. Pull yourselves together.

He comes every morning.

Where did she come from?

Professor Candan is always with him these days. What are they up to?

Well, she's a musician and he is a psychopath.

And music heals the soul, right!

Candan is mine, don't even think of saying anything bad about her.

It's so stuffy here. Have you been smoking again?

Hey mom, give me a break.

Come on son, aren't you getting up yet? It's 9 o'clock.

God damn it!

You stay up late at night, and can't wake up in the morning.

I don't know how you will be successful at school like this.

What school? I am late for work.

You said you'd work in the afternoons, wouldn't fall behind in school.

Come on Mom! They'll give a good bonus this month, if sales are good.

So I changed my shift to the morning. There aren't any customers at night.

I don't like this at all.

Mom, it's just to make things better. School is finished too, this summer.

You've been in high school for 5 years, Mert. 5 years!

Mom, I need to earn money too. Why are you talking like that?

There are many jobless graduates.

Look how my Guler is smiling!

Just trust in your son for once.

Take your keys. I won't be home if you come early.

We're going to the hospital with Aunt Ayten.

Are you going to tell me something? Tell me?

There was a Hodja that you busted with the TV crew the other day.

We arrested him, then freed him. What happened?

When did you set him free?

Are you sorry? Was I supposed to bring him home?

No, not home, but I was thinking, if he is really good with sorcery stuff ...

we could take our son to him. Neighbors say he might be possessed.

Possessed by who?

His studies are good, but when it comes to exams, he can't do well.

He, somehow, gets nervous.

Come on! Stop pissing me off early in morning! Genies, huh!

I'll possess him before genies do and that'll teach him a lesson...

The bastard is not studying, simply not studying!

Good morning Uncle Metin. You aren't wearing your uniform today.

- Mr. Mert. You aren't either. - There is no school today.

No school!? There's school everyday, but you're not going.

We don't have a father like yourself to take care of us.

Regards. Say hi to Sinan, I'll be passing by tonight.

Yeah, don't be late you crazy boy. Come on, Zeki.

They used to leave the seniors alone, so that they could study for the exam.

Yeah dude. Last year, they all had sick leave reports.

They didn't even come to school.

What are we supposed to study for? SSE, or finishing the school?

Since it is a selection exam, they should let us select too.

Who are you to select? You are still a student.

Isn't our real issue the SSE?

We only have a few more months until school is over.

I agree. From now on, we shouldn't deal with school and tests.

We should concentrate on the SSE and cheat at the tests.

Actually, we should find a way to steal the test questions too.

What's going on?

What are you guys up to? You should tell us too.

You mind your own business dude.

Don't "dude" me! And don't mess up my mood. Okay?

And why are you guys always hanging around together? Are you a gang?

Yes, we are. Any problem with that?

Hey, I don't want any trouble here.

You stay out of it Seyfo!

There won't be a gang out of these guys, but you could be my medicine.

I'm crazy about you. You're just my kind of girl.

I will take your kind and!

How are you talking with your sister like that?

We all know how she's interested in older guys.

We still haven't forgotten about Mert but

his days are over. I am the king now.

My God. Let me go, he's still calling me "girl". Offf!

I changed my shift to the morning to make some extra money.

Good for you, what about school?

Don't talk to me about school. It gives me the creeps thinking about it.

He's still talking about Mert? He's giving me the creeps.

He's giving you the creeps but if he were with us now...

he'd beat the crap out of Turan and his gang.

Wouldn't it be good if Mert were with us,

if we were to steal the test questions?

You are good friends with him. Have a chat with him and see what he says.

Hey man, if you think that he might help us with stealing the papers...

you are totally wrong.

I can get them all by myself, and without help from any of you.

Stealing the test questions? I was kidding when I said that.

Congratulations dude, well said. It's a brilliant idea.

Come on dude, you too? And your dad is a cop...

What does that have to do with it? This is life.

If the system screws you up, you screw it too.

- Nice quote! Whose words are they? - They are Levent Lemi's words, dude.

Do you even know what his real name is?

I don't know.

"Armless Levo." Years ago, he used to be a student in our school, alright?

One day he puts his arm in a cast and comes to school like that.

Everyone feels sorry for him. But he is enjoying himself.

He makes everyone sign his cast. Of course, it's discovered later on...

that he was just fooling around. He was writing down cheat notes on.

There're so many things written on the

cast that people don't see the cheat notes

He was putting on another cast for each test.

This is how he passed all his subjects finished school.

Then, people started calling him "Armless Levo."

What a cunning person! He was a jackal.

That's it guys! Look at him, he has played the game by the rules, and...

what happened? Now he is where he wanted to be, a respected businessman.

I don't want to be respected like that; He fooled everyone. This is dishonesty.

They are actually fooling us. They've been

filling our minds with multiplying...

dividing subjects, and predicates. We are sleeping. Is this education?

Yeah, you are right. We should have already decided on...

what we want to do in the future.

How can that be? If by chance you don't know the date of the...

Mercidabik War in the SSE you will not have a future or even a past.

Okay, when you think of it that way

You are right too, but stealing and stuff is not right.

No dude, it's nothing like that.

I'll steal the questions from the ones who steal my youth. No worries!

As you can see, we are following the path of our idol, Levent.

Oh, sir!

Mr. Levent, right? Welcome, sir! Welcome! We are honored.

I am the school principal, Rafet. We've spoken on the phone before.

Oh please, don't. There's no need to bend down.

Very well said; good advice.

It's our salaries that bent us down. Please, go ahead sir.

Welcome to our school Mr. Levent. I'm the guidance counselor, Zeynep Erez.

Thank you.

Mrs. Erez is our new assistant principal.

She's a very innovative teacher. All the Career Days events, and...

inviting you here was her idea. Slowly! Good God!

Oh, Mr. Lemi right? How nice to meet you!

I am the music teacher, Candan.

Are students still being taught how to play the block flute in blocked lessons?

Nice joke!

Mr. Lemi, I am against the idea of playing the flute as being complex.

I am trying to make the kids love to play the violin.

Of course, in Yozgat, they used to call the flute the shepherd's pipe.

Students being treated as sheep, how could that be! It's just for the...

stationery stores to make money.

Sir, I also wish to release an album...

and want to donate the entire proceeds to our school.

Shall we talk about this?

We will. One minute. Can you please show him around the school Mrs. Erez?

- Please, this way Mr. Levent. - We are coming.

What are you doing? You are all over him.

What does your old school look like?

There isn't much change. The building is the same, the teachers are the same...

but it would be unfair to expect them to change when the system doesn't change.

Were you able to change?

Your notoriety during your student life is still being spoken about.

So, you heard it too. A person doesn't change.

As I can understand my old notorious days will never leave me alone.

That's why I was actually hesitant about inviting you here.

I mean, I don't want to introduce my...

students to a man whose past is full mistakes.

Since I am here now, what is it that has changed your mind?

It would be unfair to them if I didn't introduce them to a loyal and...

devoted graduate. Isn't that right?

Years ago, you used to be a student like us in this school, and now...

you are giving scholarships to many students, especially from our school.

Are you going to continue doing this?

Now, let me interpret what our friend has just said.

We have intensive courses being offered on the weekends for students to catch...

up for the student selection exam.

As you know, this is a bit costly and expenditure is very high.

I guess what he's trying to say is that will you be providing help...

for this problem. Isn't that right, son?

Okay, but what do you mean by intensive?

Something that is accelerated.

On the weekends, we go over the things that students haven't understood or...

couldn't cope with during the lesson; very rapidly.

Interesting, but you have to be careful about these intensive courses because...

they may get out of hand like the high-speed trains of my country.

It would be a pity for these kids if it one day runs off the rails.

- Alright, watch Rafet's face now. - What are you going to ask him?

Yes, Sinan. Tell us! He is one of our very successful students.

His father is a police officer. If you ever have any kind of business...

with the police, please let me know. Go ahead, son. Ask your question.

Professor, if you'd let me, I'd like to ask you something.

Alumni of the school used to call you "Armless Levo."

Is this in anyway true?

How could you be armless?

That's right. I had an accident. I had to go around in a cast for some time

I was given that name by my friends, during those days.

Little devils! Sit down, Sinan.

Your days with the cast went on for a

very long time because the cheat notes...

written on the cast are still being spoken about. You should know better.

You are taking it too far, son. You asked

your question, what else do you want?

You are said be the biggest cheat of this school.

Do you have anything to say for those who would like to follow your path?

Kid, you follow that way over there and get out.

I am really sorry. It's hard to understand the youngsters.

Please, forgive these inconsiderate students.

Oh come on, they are brilliant kids.

They are right too. I finished school by cheating.

What do you mean? The cast stuff... You must be joking.

No, I am not. The cast thing is true.

I wasn't only writing on it, but I was also squeezing in some papers.

It's impossible. A reputable businessman like you...

I will have to ask you not to talk about this story anywhere.

Oh for God's sake, don't talk about being reputable. Don't bother.

Besides, if the system has screwed you up, you...

screw it up too. Do you know how many defeats this...

system has gone through while trying to defeat us?

That's right, sir. What happened?

Mr. Rafet, you have to sign the papers.

Okay, I will.

Would you accompany him, Mrs. Erez?

Thanks a lot, Mrs. Erez.

I wish I weren't right with my concerns about asking you to come here.

I can't really say that it's been an ethical meeting with the students.

The audience will have to determine whether the talk was an ethical one...

or not. I think you should think about it in this way. Thank you!

Do you mean Crime and Punishment?

Yes. Besides we have 8 years of elementary and 3 years of high school.

That makes 11 years. Did you ever consider

why these kids are never being...

asked to read Dostoyevski during those years?

So that they are not awakened. Have a nice day!

I'm really sorry. Excuse me, can you please open it for a second?

I'm really sorry. Driver, can you open it for a second. I am really sorry.

I was about to say something and was cut off.

As you'll remember, we were talking about it from before hand.

We had some business with donations scholarships, if you remember...

Mrs. Erez, leave this intensive course nonsense to the side...

and build a proper library with this check. Here you go.

I will pass it on to her.

Watch out for Rafet too. He might fill the library with encyclopedias...

collected from newspapers. You know where to find me.

You're always more than welcome. Have a nice day, Mr. Rafet.

Have a nice day, sir. Regards!

God bless him! The library, okay?

Very good, congratulations. He's such a great guy.

Did you see how he made a fool out of Rafet?

Now you must have a talk with Mert.

How may I help you?

It's my wife's birthday today and I've forgotten about it.

I wanted to take care of it during my lunch break but couldn't find anything.

Actually, I think the blouse you're holding in your hand is fabulous.

And is the color nice? Do you think she'll like it?

I think brown is a perfect color for a geography teacher.

Hey lad, I think you and I will get along just fine.

For example, there was a geography teacher in our school.

She always used to wear dark colored clothes.

We used to think she was a part of the map hanged.

In fact, there were some friends who thought her boobs were like...

mountains.

My wife is a teacher.

Don't tell me she's a geography teacher!

Such an inconsiderate person!

How was I supposed to know she was a geography teacher?

She wasn't only a geography teacher, but a geography teacher in our school.

How was I supposed to know that?

Are you serious? You have the luck of a Bedouin.

Tell me about it. That was bad. I received a warning from the shop too.

Now, she will always be on my case at school too, right?

Do you even go to school? What happened to your medical report?

It will be over on the 20th. I should be looking around for a new one too.

Dude, forget about the new report and get school over with.

Thanks brother. I will finish it. Just wait, everything has a sequence.

Since you have left, nothing has been the same; we are bored.

There are some new bullies that have emerged and they are picking on us.

You should come back to school so that we can relax.

Here come your friends. Hey guys!

Hello.

Where are you going? I don't want to hold you up.

- We are going to study, as usual. - The selection exam, right?

I've read something. Have you heard about it?

This year, they will choose not by looking at the outside but inside.

Whatever dude, may it be easy!

Thank you dude.

Come on, go and study. I will see you...

when you guys get your diploma. You diligent people!

Hello, Aunt Ayten, what's the matter?

What are you saying?

Your mother came here complaining about the lumps on her neck and armpits.

We have diagnosed her with lymph cancer as a result of tests that she has

undergone.

Since this typical kind of cancer isn't easily detectable...

early diagnosis is really hard to do. There's nothing to worry about.

We are not late for anything. She will be getting better with the...

treatments that will start right away. Believe me!

They called you in so quickly and made worried.

How could I not be worried, mom?

You will be staying for another 2 days.

I'm not allowed to accompany you.

So, I brought some underwear, towels and soap.

My dear son...

if you were to continue your studies, could become a doctor too.

Come on, mom! How did you come up with that now?

Look at where we are now.

We don't know what will happen to us tomorrow.

If I could just see you going to a university before I die.

Mom, what kind of talk is this...

Mom, please. Don't say things like this. You are going to be fine.

We have gone through many things together, and...

everything will be fine.

Dude, you look terrible!

Hey brother, I have to register for the selection exam, right away.

- Who is it? - It's Mert, dad.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

I don't like my son being friends with this crazy kid.

What's the matter? You never used to interfere in these kinds of things.

My time has come to go and do my military service duty.

They won't postpone it anymore. I have to pass the exam

We'll take care of that, dude. You're lucky, we have two more days.

I'd like to invite you in, but you know my parents.

I know.

- I thought I was late for it. - Not at all, dude. You just relax.

Thanks. I will call you.

Sinan, how am I supposed to get ready? Do you think I can succeed?

Of course you will. Why shouldn't you? Be here tomorrow morning at seven.

At seven? Why is that?

We'll have you in training camp. It'll be a heavy duty training camp.

Alright, good.

Good morning, Zeki.

The long awaited miracle has come true. Mert's coming back to school.

How did you convince him?

I didn't have to. They called him for the military service.

If he can't finish high school and pass selection exam, he'll be enlisted.

I congratulate the military service.

And why do we care if he's a deserter?

We've already talked about this.

- Hi guys. - Welcome, bro.

Don't call me bro. We are now considered to be on the same team.

I'll go and think over this 5 strangers on the team business. Enjoy your work!

What work?

- Good morning, Uncle Metin. - Good morning.

Can I borrow your lighter?

Perfect timing. Hey, we won't bring the subject up right away. Okay?

We aren't going to mention anything about cheating or stealing.

I know the guy. He'll start acting like a brother and will start lecturing us.

First, we're going to go through the method of giving him a hard time.

Great. We'll give him such a hard time that he will understand what...

- we have been through. - Wait a minute.

Where are we going?

The road that leads to success.

Really? So, is this the road to success?

We're the only ones walking this road. Doesn't anyone know about it?

Exactly. See, these are your rivals.

Go and get your application form right away.

Come on, dude. The line is moving. It's been half an hour.

There are extra classes at school on Saturday and Sunday.

We have to come to school 5 days a week and

stay behind for extra lessons 3 times.

Besides this, you still have a lot to catch up with from past years.

I've made a list of books that you should buy.

Be sure to get them as soon as possible.

Preparation for Student Selection Exam, The Exam Questions of the last...

10 years, Writing Guide, Turkish Texts 1, Applied Math 2...

Dictionary of Idioms. What's all this?

Perfect for a start. We should get started in an easy mode.

Easy?

Yes. I got the Lotto Papers. What do we do now?

Fill it out right away. We don't have much time left.

Hold on a second. Let's catch our breath.

You have a maximum of one minute for each question.

Pay attention to the questions. The choices are full of tricks.

Which of the options below is not meant in this paragraph?

Which of the following is not even there at all?

Be careful with negative and reverse questions.

They will do their best to make us fail.

Bastards! I never knew there were so many tricks involved.

I'm exhausted. Let's sit down somewhere for a few minutes.

Unfortunately, there is no time rest.

Come on, dude. We'll also have something to eat.

There are only 100 days left for the exam.

Do we even have time to eat?

If I have to calculate; we have 6 hours of school everyday that makes 18 days.

We have 82 days left. If we take an hour or an hour and a half lunch break...

that makes 9 days, 73 days left.

But hey, I thought we'd solve the problem we've been dissolving ourselves.

What is this dude?

8 hours of courses on the weekends, makes 5 days. We now have 68 days left.

We sleep for about 8 hours a day. That makes 34. We're left with 34 days.

Extra lessons for 3 days a week 3 hours each; adds up to 6 days. 28 days left.

We spend a lot of time on the road...

We also have to shower, go to the bathroom, wash and iron clothes.

We should also count the homework and these meetings too; 5-6 hours a...

day. We have 3 days left.

For your information, in 3 days, he'll say, "Let's steal the questions."

You can't imagine how happy you have made me.

So, I'll be able to see you as a university student.

Of course you will mother. Why shouldn't you?

Hey guys!

Hello man. You look great. You look just like one of us.

Hey, you look really smart.

It's not enough to just get dressed in a smart way.

Hi girl, you are back!

Dude, rule number one; we will stop calling her "girl."

Really? Why is that? We used to say it before, what happened?

Things have changed. Watch your mouth if you don't want to mess up our mood.

What are you saying?

Dude, we barely convinced him. Take it easy.

Okay, fine. I won't say anything. We're blessed.

What's up with your hair? Tie it up.

Hey 3012 Mert.

Sir, I give up. I've forgotten the way of the school, but...

you haven't forgotten my school number. Do you really know all of our numbers?

Shut up, you ill-mannered wretch. Sure I do.

This is 6024 Sinan, 5947 Kaan, 6813 Gamze, 5018 Uluc.

Fix your tie. Well done!

Let's hope for the best, sir.

You were a businessman; what happened? What happened with your job?

I took a medical report, sir. I'm on holiday.

We'd better go to our class, sir. As you know, the bell has rung.

Really? Are you serious? Oh, please do. Go ahead.

I shouldn't keep you longer. Students who are willing to go to class!

This way, Mr. Kaan.

You'd better cut your hair. I don't want to see it like this again.

Who could give us the multiples of this?

Yeah, take your time. Take the chalk.

But I didn't raise my hand Professor.

- Excuse me? - I didn't raise my hand.

You'd better answer this question before I divide you up by your multiples.

Come on kid, come on.

Sit down!

Hey listen; I have the voice of a dramatic soprano.

I am now an alto and do you know why?

Because I've lost my voice while making a demo.

But my album is being delayed. How could this be?

Alright! Move it, move it. I beg you.

Dude, don't these teachers ever change?

Do they always choose the ones who don't raise their hands?

That's their tactic. In Professor Fatma's

class if you raise your hand, you're safe.

Really? We'll see about that.

We're now doing geometry. Is there anyone

remembers where we left off last time?

Actually I need to go to the bathroom.

Quiet! First, come to the board, then you can go.

Take a piece of chalk from there.

I took the chalk.

Draw a trapezoid for me.

No way, Professor, I don't trap people. I don't do things like that.

I said draw a shape, a trapezoid. Did I ask for something else? Sit down, zero!

You, you are a dead man!

Hey you, the one with the hood. Stop there.

Come here. Come here.

Take your hood off. Take if off, take it off.

How wonderful! Very nice! It's high time you have a makeover.

Yeah, it's high time.

From now until the day you cut your hair...

I will be taking away some of it in small bunches like this. Ok?

Now, have a great lesson. May God help you through the lessons.

Again, a question from 2005 goes like this...

The engine of my car doesn't start.

So, I take it to a mechanic to see what...

is wrong with it, and he says nothing.

If p is, qpurely and simply...

If p is, qpurely and simply, this man could be a dishonest guy.

The car has broken down. Why is he saying,

"There's nothing wrong with the car?"

I'd personally not propose him to anyone.

You've become such a malign person.

Forget about this proposition and go check what it is that the girls want.

You're an impolite student who leads the way and never stays behind. Sit down!

Mom, you shouldn't have troubled yourself.

It was no trouble at all, my dear son.

My point of view in life had changed.

According to my birth certificate, I was 20 but I had already lost...

my joy in life. Now I can only dream of the days...

when I was filled with joy and happiness.

My writing has received a lot from my mother's illness.

Which of the following could be said for the person mentioned in the paragraph?

He has become a different person because of the things he's lived through.

Dude, he chose the correct answer which was B.

He's actually answering the questions.

Hey man, how are your studies going?

Good. I am studying.

How many correct answers did you get from Math and Science?

Around 67.

67? I was getting 82 just for Math and Science.

You should also answer the questions on Social Science. How much did you get?

He can't even answer that question. He's totally bad in Social Science.

But, if you ask him about the top 10 he'd

answer instantly. He'll become a pop star.

Look, both your brother and sister have entered the best universities.

Kaan, if you tried a bit harder, you could succeed too.

He's got no discipline. How was life in Germany?

It was like a ticking clock. You grew up

there too but this rascal isn't like that.

Once he lifts his head away from the

books, he instantly thinks of his guitar.

I can't control you all the time. You have to want it yourself.

I agree dad, you are absolutely right.

I feel ashamed instead of you. It's such a shame!

Is this behavior suitable for you? Don't you want to attent to university.

Of course There are many universities I can be registered at with my scores.

What do you mean? How are you going to get into the Faculty of Medicine?

Stop pushing him. Maybe, he would like to study something else.

Is that so?

Don't you remember fantasizing when you were a kid?

You kept on saying you'd become a doctor like Aunt Nesrin's cousin.

- Who's Aunt Nesrin's cousin, mom? - Don't you know? What was it?

Mesut. Yeah, Mesut. He graduated from medicine.

Dad, he didn't finish medical school. The school finished him.

Don't you remember him looking like this every time he came to us?

Now, he's calling him an ox.

Dad, have you ever asked me what I really wanted to do?

How dare you talk to my dad like that? Get up and go to your room.

You are acting as if these people want the worst for you.

Did you see that?

I have just said one word and he has spoiled my dinner.

I'm ashamed of you. You're vile!

I didn't do anything to make anyone feel ashamed.

All animals are lions, in fact...

all people are animals, isn't that right, sir?

Yes, it is. Then, if all living things that are lions are animals...

animals that are living are lions.

Then, if p is to q or q is to r...

All lions are animals. All tigers are lions.

The bottom line is that all living... What's important is to be human.

Be a man! This is what you should always try to learn.

Dear children, live life as a way of documentary.

How much time do we have till the break? Damn it!

Kaan. Come here.

He's going to give the questions again.

You take this and go to the stationery across the street.

How many copies do you need?

Make 40 copies of it. Tell them to charge it to Professor Rahmi.

I bet that he won't even open it to check the questions.

What do you mean? The teacher gives him questions and he never looks at them?

Do you know why I gave them?

So that he could photocopy them.

And, do you know why I gave them to Kaan?

Because I trust him. If you ever ask me how I know that...

because the animal didn't even look at questions once.

Come in! Give them to me. Go to your seat.

Did you ever check the questions?

Don't talk nonsense! Of course I didn't.

Are you crazy? And he says he didn't check them with no shame at all.

Don't tell me, "Don't you feel ashamed?"

- What happened to you? - I am answering, (e) gone crazy

You drove me crazy. It's enough, enough. Did you get that? It's enough!

Don't shout. She's studying.

Did your daughter's success just occur to you now?

I'll get her married to a man and it will be over. Do you understand that?

You'll get her married, huh?

Whose daughter are you forcing to marry?

My daughter will finish her studies. Then she'll marry the man she loves.

So, she'll marry the man she loves and live a miserable life like I do?

I am going to divorce you!

Divorce me! Do as you wish!

I am going to divorce you! I will divorce you.

That's enough! Stop bringing my name up in your fights.

Get divorced as soon as possible. Besides, after seeing you fight like...

this, I'll neither get married nor fall in love.

God damn it!

Between parentheses, x equals 2x cube. You should write too. Minus x equals...

Sinan? Is Gamze still angry with me?

Minus x

I don't know, dude.

She may have told you some things, right?

You know that she's a tough one. We also know the problems between her parents

Seeing her parents like that, she's totally being drawn away from love.

We cant deny that she liked you too.

And you gave her hope.

Then you didn't even come to school.

So, she's angry...

Can't we just solve these questions first, and then talk?

What about you guys? Look man.

My dad is calling.

Hello! I am at my friend's house. We're studying together.

Of course not dad. Why should I lie? Ok, dad. Right away.

My dad is really angry with me. I have to get going now.

Before you go, you were saying something?

I was wondering if they'd removed the pool problems from the course outline.

You look beautiful.

Actually, if you leave your hair loose...

and put on some make up, you are a beautiful girl.

What's Ozgur doing? He's clinging on to his lessons, studying like crazy.

Mert is failing. Do you know why I'm saying that Mert's failing?

Because he's not studying.

I swear to God, I am studying. You see me studying.

He's lying.

It's not enough to study, Mr. Mert.

We do. But having to study for school and

selection exam both is very difficult.

What are we going to do then? We should at least find a solution for the school.

I thought everything would be okay if I came to school, but this is worse.

Actually, you know what? We should just steal the test papers...

and get it over with.

What did you say?

I didn't say anything, dude.

This is it man! This is the first time you have ever said something sensible.

So, are you suggesting that we should steal the papers?

Are you crazy? Actually, I've been meaning

to tell you this for a long time...

but I wasn't sure if I should or not.

I love it when you talk like this. Why are you making us struggle?

You should have said it from the beginning.

This is great. What are we going to do

about Turan and his gang? They've been...

watching us closely for a very long time.

Who? These guys?

Excuse me!

What are you looking at? Give me that ball.

Come on, get out of here!

Yes, is there anything else?

Then we are all in, aren't we?

Why are you asking me, dude? I am already in.

You were the ones who were waiting for Mert. Her you go. He's here now.

You've been on my case since I came.

You're angry, so I am not saying anything.

- Who are you to say anything anyway? - Gamze, it's enough.

Look, it's more important for me than anyone else here to finish school. Okay?

You won't understand this. So, don't drag it out.

Let's get down to business if the old issues are over.

Kaan, you are the only one who could plan this whole thing.

Dude, I've never done anything shameful in my whole life. Alright?

But my family is calling me a "shameless man."

Okay, I was really angry the other day.

The questions that Professor Rahmi gave me for photocopying...

- Did you look at them? - Well, I did this time.

So, you were just going to help yourself?

I couldn't say it, okay? I couldn't say it.

Whatever, it doesn't matter. Let's not talk about that now.

You are the only guy who's organized systematic on the clock.

And we need you on this issue, okay?

Okay, but I'll only do the planning. I won't interfere with the rest, deal?

Fine.

Are we going to rob Professor Fatma?

No way.

It's fine with me.

You're the ones who are having difficulty in math, not me.

But it's the most problematic one for all of us.

I think it's ideal for a start.

Sure, I think so too. She irritates me anyway. Let's just start from there.

How are we going to do this?

She was telling us to draw a trapezoid.

Now, we'll make the best one.

Listen to me. We'll steal the questions a day before the test.

Professor Fatma has a bag with a code, right?

She keeps all her files and grading books in that bag.

The day before the test, our questions will be in that bag.

How are we going to find the password?

The code is with two digits. So, there are 100 possible combinations.

It is really hard to guess. But Kaan has an amazing idea...

When the day for stealing comes, we'll

arrange for Gamze to be the guard on duty.

When Professor Fatma is in our class, you'll make your move.

I can't. I get panic attacks.

You will not panic, sweetheart, you will only attack.

Professor, there is an urgent phone call for you that you have to take.

- Really? Who could it be? - I don't know, professor.

I am coming right away.

Don't make any noise.

When Professor Fatma leaves the class, I'll go next to the table and pretend

to be looking at the attendance sheet. The bag will most probably be open...

I'll get the password without anyone noticing.

- They have hung up the phone. - I don't know professor.

Sure you don't. When one day they come to ask for your hand...

how are you to start a family and raise kids? So irresponsible!

How are we going to get the questions from the bag?

I am answering. A) During lunch break.

Meaning, while there is no one in the school or the teachers' room.

Kaan and I have been watching her for the last few days.

She never goes out with that bag. She always leaves it at school.

Meaning in the cupboard of her room.

Congratulations! Correct answer.

Every afternoon, her grandson comes from school and she goes to meet him...

across the street. She stays there for an hour and we can relax at that time.

Who is going to sneak into the teachers' room?

It has to be someone that no one would suspect.

Someone who nobody believes would steal questions even if he were caught.

Someone that teachers trust enough to hand him the questions themselves.

Because he's a trustworthy and honest student.

No way! The fool you are calling cannot reached at the moment.

I've made the plan. That's all from me.

I'm not interfering with the rest!

This is what we call virtue and ethics.

Before the lunch break, Kaan and Sinan will hide in the boys' bathroom.

When the school is empty, Kaan will go to the teachers' room.

Sinan will watch the stairs from the end of the hall.

Gamze will already be on duty at the gate. Whoever arrives early at school...

will call us and inform us if they see any teachers.

What am I doing?

You're a civilian. You're going to watch out for Professor Fatima outside.

If, for any reason, she returns early to school, you'll let us know.

I'll be at my computer at home, ensuring

that you can communicate with each other.

You saved the best for yourself. Sitting safely at a desk and at home.

Well, suit yourself.

It's okay. Don't be absurd. This is a team game.

How are we going to communicate with Uluc?

A) Since Mert will already be out, he communicate easily.

He'll be on the phone the whole time.

B) Uluc's messenger will be on and I'll communicate with him through...

a mobile device.

Uluc will be like a telephone switchboard,

giving me news about all of you.

C) Gamze and I don't have a phone with messenger.

How will we communicate? By farting?

Planning needs money, and we don't have that much. What can we do?

No, that can't be.

If we're going to do this, let's do it right.

I'll take care of the phone business.

Super! The operation will take 60 minutes. Good luck everyone.

Everything is okay. We can start.

Guys, it's your turn.

What's going on?

- Hello? Kaan? - Where are you, man?

- I got cut off and can't connect. - Great, and I can't get in.

What happened?

What do you mean by what happened? Yours is here.

I am talking about Professor Candan. She is here.

What's she up to? What's she doing?

I don't know. She's playing the violin.

Hold on, Mert is calling. Hello?

Hello, everything is fine here. She got the boy from the bus.

- Good. Hold on a second. - One minute. They aren't going home.

- Where are they going? - How should I know? Wait a minute.

Hello? Sinan?

What are we going to do? Shall we get out of here?

Candan is inside playing the violin.

One's here, the other's there. Wait a little, just wait.

I don't know, do something. Follow them.

Follow them? I said they got into the cab and left.

Good, okay.

Hello? Uluc? I am going to kill you.

We're going to follow that car.

What are we going to do now?

How the hell should I know? Besides, why did you come here?

The line got cut and I freaked out.

What's up with the violin sound?

What's going on?

What could it be? We're waiting. Gamze came here too.

The three of us are waiting.

What's Gamze doing there? May God watch over you guys.

Did we buy those devices so the three of could stand together?

I congratulate you guys. Is this all you can do?

Ok, dude. Calm down a little.

Now, put your phones on silent and wait until you hear from me.

We won't give up. We still have time. We will keep waiting.

Uluc says we'll wait. Come on.

Hello? They arrived at a shopping mall. I am following them...

Is everything alright with you guys?

Things are a little bit complicated here, but you keep following her.

My dear Candan, it is such an untimely devotion to music.

Here's your mobile number.

Now, I need an address for a recording company.

Pick it up, pick it up.

Hello?

- Am I speaking with Professor Candan? - Yes, speaking.

Professor, I am calling from Bemol Records

: -This is Cevat Ceyhan. - I am listening.

We are after talented musicians at schools, especially after Candan...

- Ercetin's popularity. - Yes.

And we have come across your thing your name.

You are very kind, Mr. Ceyhan. Of course, we can meet.

Is it necessary to meet today?

Well, right away if possible. The studio is free at the moment.

We could do some recording...

My partners are here too. So, we could sign a contract too.

Well, if you say today is necessary. I am listening to you.

Then ... let me give you the address.

Okay, I am writing it down.

It's IMC Bazaar, opposite Zeyrek, Bemol Records, Cevat Ceyhan.

Which bazaar did you say?

Ma'am, it's the IMC Bazaar, opposite Zeyrek.

There aren't any mistakes with the address, right?

Of course not. What kind of a mistake can there be?

Alright, sir. So, that's your place.

Come on. We are waiting for you.

My accent always works within the music sector.

Oh God, my voice is gone. God damn it.

Hello? Kaan? Take Sinan and get out. Candan is coming out.

I can't believe this. What was it? I can't believe it...

I have lost my voice too. Try a little harder, Candan.

Hello? Candan just left.

Okay. Continue with the operation.

God damn it.

Is it okay? Did you get it?

Yeah, you wish. We are screwed. It's a different bag.

What do you mean "a different bag"?

I'm saying that it's a different bag. The old one had 2 digits and this has 3.

Why is she changing her bag? Okay. Wait a second.

What is it?

They've finished. They're leaving. How are things with you?

It's not good at all. Try and delay her. I'm hanging up ...

How am I going to delay her? Hello?

Okay. We will add numbers to the beginning and end of the old number.

Try all the combinations.

What's this? If it were a test, I could skip the questions I can't answer.

Excuse me, ma'am. Can you come down to the cashier?

Why? What happened?

This way, please. The alarm went off.

It's almost one o'clock. Where are you?

I tried. I tried them all. None of them worked.

That's impossible. I am out of here or we'll get caught.

No, wait. Try again by putting them at the beginning.

Ma'am, there was a little misunderstanding. Please forgive us.

There's no need to apologize. Actually, I was kind of in a hurry.

You've wasted my time. Come on, baby. Let's get out of here.

It's not working. None of it's working.

Come on Uluc, work your head.

What password would a mathematician use?

Guys, I'm giving you the password of geometry. Pi, meaning 3.14.

I got it. Try it first. 3-1-4.

Or 4-3-1.

Try them all.

This is it!

I couldn't delay her any longer. She dropped off the grandson too.

We are almost at the street of the school. What did you do?

We'll be done in 2 minutes. We found the questions.

Come on, get out of there. What are you still doing?

Questions for physics and history. This is heaven!

Get out! You'll get caught. Forget about history and physics.

What happened?

CSI Urfa operation has been completed. Let's hope for the best.

This is it! This is what I call killing three birds with one stone.

Oh, come on. That can't be. They wouldn't dare do such a thing.

Don't you think I will be able to understand from their answers?

This is the first time in my life I've passed a math exam so easily.

As I said yesterday, you all solved it in a different way, right?

If we all get a full mark, we will mess the whole thing up.

How about you?

I've just looked it over. That's enough for me.

What's up my young bull?

What? If things don't go well as planned, have your immediate family...

and I have my tribe, in Urfa, waiting for us.

Oh, get out of here. You have Candan's phone number.

You're just kidding us talking about tribes and all.

Why don't you go after women your own age just like all the other people?

I'll say this knowing Gamze won't be offended. Our generation sucks.

How do you know. Did you try?

I have a bachelor dad, that's how.

Talking about fathers, we have been using your house like a cell...

I hope that we're not being disgraceful.

Not at all! I was talking about something else, here.

There's food in the oven, Uluc. You can warm it up and eat it.

Having a child means having problems. But I still love him...

Candan is a totally different woman.

I know that the answer key of the

selection exam and a treble clef don't...

mean the same thing to you guys, but

knowing about music will make you think...

systematically and will help you heal your soul.

Sometimes, I feel like she's lecturing only me.

How did that happen? She doesn't even know you exist.

Fine. That's what you think. I have her number though.

I'll now take private lessons from her.

What lessons?

Violin lessons.

Is your violin tuned up well?

Yes, but I first have to admit something to you, professor.

Tell me. What is it, Uluc?

I am really bored with this violin.

Shall we just move on to another instrument?

Another instrument?

Yes, professor. I don't know. Something more popular.

For example, we have some entertainment nights in Urfa.

Entertainment nights?

Haven't you ever heard of it? For example, the Mici of Kahta...

or may God rest his soul, the Boiler Bedih...

Yes, what do we do now?

- What do you mean by what do we do? - Meaning, what's our new plan?

It's the fatal exam robbery, Chapter 2.

Are you doing this on purpose? Speak in Turkish.

- That means we'll rob a bank. - What bank?

The question bank. The test exams for intensive courses.

Come on. Why are we stealing them? It's just a test exam as we call it.

Because every week, their results are being mailed home.

When our marks are low, our parents at home start nagging.

I can't take that anymore.

Every time my mom receives a paper, she tells me to get my dowry ready.

Is she nuts?

That's exactly what my father says, and that's when the fighting starts.

Whatever, if everyone agrees, let's sneak into the materials room and get

the answer keys for the rest of the weeks, which will put an end to it.

What's the plan?

First the keys. Rafet has one of the keys, and Seyfo has the other one.

Seyfo has one key chain that has all the keys in it.

Gamze, Seyfo is a big admirer of yours.

What's up, Seyfo?

Hey, welcome Gamze.

I'm going to get some ice-cream. I'm burning from inside...

I'll give you it. Which one do you want?

Don't bother. I'll get it, but it's locked.

Can you throw me the keys, Seyfo?

You continue your work, Seyfo.

Hey Seyfo, are you ok?

Thank you. What's up?

Can you give me some water or something? I am thirsty.

There's no water. Drink from the fountain.

But the selling still continues. Gamze is getting an ice-cream there.

What the hell is this? Are you planning a robbery or what?

Of course not. It's the key to the girls' locker room.

We'll just have some fun. Help your brother a little bit.

You sneaky person...

Here are the answer keys. I've made two copies, just in case.

When do we sneak in?

Tomorrow. On Career Day caricaturist Yigit Ozgur will be here.

Everyone, including the headmaster, will be in the conference hall.

We'll sneak into the room at that time.

To become a caricaturist, what major am supposed to choose for the exam?

As far as I know, there is no major like that in the universities.

If there were, I would have been studying there now...

but if you must decide on a major

Hello? What's the situation like?

Be very careful because Rafet is not around.

Okay. We are going down.

Okay. See you later.

Uluc said that Rafet isn't around.

If he comes out from somewhere, we will be screwed.

Don't be scared. God knows where he is or what he is after.

Besides, if you're not caught red handed, you can't be considered guilty.

I said stop. Slow down a little bit.

I passed the last exit before the bridge.

One minute. Weren't you supposed to make an album for me with the extra...

money from the parent teacher association?

Weren't you going to back me up and be my producer?

I will. Did you ever see me not backing you up?

I always back you up. Why do you think I started with these intensive courses?

Ask me why?

I'm telling you I'll make an album for you.

- Really? - Of course, it's real.

- Promise? - I promise.

Ooh, look who's here.

Yes, Mert. 3012 Mert. Rafet.

Actually, 69 Rafet.

What are we doing here? We'll leave, professor.

Don't be ridiculous. Don't you see?

I've been thinking of giving Rafet a nickname for a long time.

- 69 Rafet is super, professor. - Give me that camera.

You take this camera and get lost. Close the door too.

Photo... What are you doing? Sinan... the camera...

What do you guys want? What are you doing here?

Well, would you believe me if I said we were just passing by?

What are you doing here?

We were just checking the inventory here, and I felt hot in the jacket.

To do, you know, the warehouse is stuffy.

We, Rafet and I, will be married soon and build a happy house.

Isn't that right, Mr. Rafet?

Sure. The one who gives less... We'll talk about that later.

I will prepare your house for you with pictures that just left.

Excuse me, I'll be back soon.

Bro, I have some good news for you and some bad news.

The bad news is that Rafet's here. Good

news is that Professor Candan's on his lap

What lap? Don't exaggerate guys.

Of course, we might say that it's bad news for you.

What's she doing on his lap?

Mr. Rafet was giving her something but we came in at that moment.

I thought I'd ask you about what to do with these lovebirds.

There's nothing going on.

Decision made. She's dead for me now. She's got no taste at all.

He's very depressed.

He's very angry... And his grandfather is from the tribe...

What happened? What do you want? Tell me.

All you have to do is give me the answer keys of all the remaining test exams.

That's one... if this matter leaves this room, I'll make sure the record you...

die for goes public. And that's two.

Have some water. Come on, son.

If anything goes wrong, I know you and you know me.

- Don't get anyone else involved. - Deal.

And stop bothering me about my hair. We're

interfering with your personal life?

I'm closing it ... relax.

God knows what he'll start thinking in his head now.

Hey, what happened?

- There is nothing wrong, man. Relax. - Not that. What about the booklets?

I've solved that problem. He'll send them home.

69 Rafet. It's super.

Come on, I will take care of this.

It was obvious that something like this would happen.

I'm telling you, I'll take care of it. Don't do this.

Oh, this is bad. Can you please put yourjacket on?

Ok, I'm putting my jacket on. Wait, I'll end this issue.

What's this guy's name? Mert!

Yes?

Hi, this is Zeynep Erez. I'm Mert's new guidance counselor.

If you have some time, can I have a word with you?

Don't feel sad dear. If he wants to get divorced, then divorce him.

Don't say it like that dear. It just hurts.

You keep struggling through the years.

Then a day comes and you find yourself locked outside the door.

Thank you! Sorry for the trouble.

You know, Mert has been in school for a long time and he still hasn't graduated.

Do you, or his father, ever talk to him about this matter?

He doesn't have a father. We're separated.

No matter how much you care, guys are guys. Aren't they all the same?

One day, he just left us... Mert was 11 years old when he left.

Didn't he ever call his son after that?

Never.

We started a life with Mert. Just like a friend...

Look at Mrs. Guler, she's never had a happy day.

Just when she brought her son up, this is what happened.

Having a mother like you, why did Mert turn out to be like this?

Mert isn't the child you think he is. He just wanted to work.

He said the streets are filled with unemployed people and wanted to start...

earning money as soon as possible.

Does he work?

Yes. But he's studying really hard now, he's back in school.

He'll enter the selection exam too. He doesn't want to hurt me anymore.

I think my illness played a big role in that.

What did the doctors say?

I hope it's nothing serious?

The doctors have said she'd be alright, but...

I have cancer.

This is cancer. It's not easy.

Look, it's more important for me than anyone else here to finish school, OK?

All I want is to see him go to a university before I die.

I've kept you busy with my problems.

You've come to talk about something. Did Mert do something bad?

No! What could he have done that's that bad?

I am sure that whatever he is doing right now is for you.

As it seems, you are taking this studying business really slowly.

You're going to make me break that guitar and then relax.

- Are your lessons finished? - Dad, I just wanted to take a break.

When did you study hard enough to take a break already?

Will it be bad if you go and solve a few more extra questions?

Dad, I did. I finished all the tests of the previous year.

Even my dead father can do those previous tests. Are you going to be...

able to do the tests of this year?

Do you see that? He doesn't even care.

The guitar in your hand doesn't even look like one. We paid lots of money...

but it only has 4 strings.

Dad, it's a bass guitar. It's supposed to have only 4 strings.

Look at him. Look! I am talking about other things...

he's sitting there enjoying himself. Look, look at this!

Alright then, so even enjoying oneself is not allowed?

Yes, it's not allowed. It's forbidden. I'm not allowing it.

Get up and study. As if I'm the one who's going to get into a university.

- What's going on? - Come here.

- Yes, dad. Is there something wrong? - You shameless prick...

What are you doing Metin? What's going on?

They called from school. Your geography paper was the same as Mert's.

- Are you guys cheating? - Of course not. What cheating?

Didn't I tell you to stop seeing that crook called Mert?

Dad, we are studying together.

That may be why our papers look the same. We're not cheating.

: I swear to God, I will break your bones.

Are you going to be a dishonest man with no dignity? You ruined my dignity!

It's enough! Enough! Enough!

Let go!

Go to your room.

Get out of my sight!

The best mother of all mothers. Come on, it's medication time.

You have to take these on time so that you can get better.

My beautiful mother. Have your water too.

Once we get this exam over with, let's go visit some warm places.

- What do you think? - Where did this idea come from now?

It's been ages since you've swum.

We'll buy you a swimming suit too, huh? Maybe a bikini?

Silly!

What is it woman? You're a stunner.

You'll put your bikini on

I will hold you on my arm and...

we will have long walks on the beach.

How am I going to leave you and go?

Where are you going, leaving me behind?

Hey, we have to put an end to this stealing exam questions thing.

Today they called Sinan. It could be you or me next time.

Don't panic so much.

We've just been looking for you, Kaan.

As Professor Rahmi says; do you know why we've been looking for you?

Because we think that you took a few extra copies of the exam questions...

you were photocopying...

Do you know why we think like this?

I don't have the questions. I don't look at the questions.

How can you not have them?

There can't be an answer like that.

Write it down.

Write down whatever it is you know.

You keep on saying that you don't know. How is Mert getting high grades, then?

What are you doing to our friends? What's happening?

Who the hell are you? Come on, let's go.

Where are we going? We've just started.

Hey, his dad is a cop.

My dad is paying the salary of his dad.

Can you even hear what you are saying?

Come, come.

What the hell are you saying? You are an ass! Let go of me!

What the hell is going on here? What the hell are you doing here?

So, you play the bully when I am not around, do you?

What's the matter? Get up!

So, the three of you are beating up this good guy?

You bastards!

What's good about him? He's stealing the questions.

Hello? What do you want, mother? Of course I'm in school.

What Hodja? Alright. I am coming.

By the way, thank you.

- Your son has been possessed by genies. - Possessed by who?

The genie has overtaken his body. But don't worry, I will get rid of it.

Now that the genie's already inside me, can you ask him...

if he would enter the student selection exam instead of me?

What does this genie look like? What kind of a thing is it?

Mom, I can't believe this. I can't take this anymore.

Mom, how can you bring me here thinking about genies and all?

Say, "in the name of God", you are going to be warped!

What do you think I am?

In 1979, I knew the place of the university exam. Heathens!

You've already been warped by this man. How much did you pay him?

I repent! What money are you talking about, son?

We paid a lot of money for the doctor too but it didn't work, did it?

Besides, if you go on like this, your dad

going to kill you in front of my eyes.

Enough is enough! What's he killing?

You're on one side, he's on the other.

I'm going to my father, now. I'll talk to him about all these things.

May it be easy, Murat. Is my dad in?

The Chief has a guest with him, now.

Come and sit down. How are things?

Not bad, not bad! Will he be long?

You never know. Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just Mr. Selcuk.

Who is that?

He's Turan's father; Your friend from school.

My father's paying his father's salary.

Sinan, you stay here. I will be right back.

I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this.

We have some deputy friends involved. Just try and manage for a month.

They're going to settle the issue with the Prime Minister.

Actually, it's been a little contrary to the rules in your office...

Thank you, Mr. Selcuk. You've made me feel embarrassed.

Come on, what are you embarrassed about?

These days, it's not easy to bring up a kid...

educating them is even. Let's get together more often.

Sure, sir.

Has anyone called?

Sinan was here, Chief. But he was gone when I came back from the archives.

Are you guys cheating?

Actually, it's been a little contrary to the rules in your office...

Are you going to be a dishonest man with no dignity? You ruined my dignity.

Don't behave as if it's the first time.

You've made me feel embarrassed, Sir.

Nothing is left unpunished.

What the hell happened?

Just let me have some water.

It's just finished.

Math is great but I flunked again in Social Sciences.

The same with me.

Every year, they invent something new.

We are supposed to deal with numbers not with words.

We have been doing it wrong since the beginning. Exams at school and whatever.

Isn't our real issue the student selection exam?

Let's just steal the questions of that and get this whole thing over with.

Sure. As if the questions of that exam are in Rafet's warehouse.

What the hell are you saying?

Even if we do steal the questions, everyone else has worked so hard for it.

- Yes, it's not fair at all. - This exam is fair, according to what?

What is right? This is our life, man.

Hold your horses, Sinan.

Why are you so angry? What's going on?

Why would I be angry? Look at us.

The whole day, we work like hell.

And for what? To enter the exam. What's going to happen in the end?

They are going to ask you for your future, in just 3 hours.

Then, time is going to run out and they'll say, "Raise your hands."

And you are going to surrender. It's that simple.

I have no intentions of surrendering. We're losing a year from our lives.

I say that we shouldn't leave it to luck.

Let's steal the questions and get it over with! Are you in with me or not?

Hold your horses, man. We already had a terrible day.

- Let's think about it over night. - Yes, think about it.

But think carefully. We have 8 weeks left.

Don't forget to think about this too.

Guys, we have 8 weeks left for the exam.

I know how hard you've studied.

But, you should also prepare yourself for all its consequences.

There are no consequences. If we don't pass, we are dead.

Come on, Kaan. You are aware of the quota.

Some of you may need to wait for another year.

This is not the end of life.

Don't forget that it's neither the first nor the last exam of your lives.

What are you doing, Oguz?

I'm not doing anything, professor.

Have you realized that I am talking to you and your friends about something...

that's really important in your lives?

All those people that you just said are friends, are actually my rivals.

I might be able to gain something even if I answer one extra question.

Besides, the exam is our life. What if we fail?

Does this mean that you'll fail if you don't know the ratio of Ayse's babies...

to Ali's marbles?

You cannot measure your abilities or disabilities according to these.

Life is much more than a question booklet, Oguz.

I am sorry, professor.

Don't be. The people who've put you in this state are the ones who...

should apologize.

Damn, she was good. She spoke really well.

I don't know. I don't think we should trust her that much.

She came to our house the other day to talk to my mom.

- What did she say? - I have no idea.

But, I went crazy thinking that something was up.

- How's your mother, Mert? - Fine. Why do you ask?

I just asked liked that. No reason. Say hi.

Let's leave that now. Let's go back to our real subject, the robbery.

That was a bit loud. Let's go to the side and talk about it.

Our real issue is about the student selection exam, right?

- Did you think over it? - I did. I don't think we should do it.

Neither do I, because it's not the same stealing from school.

Even in school we had lots of problems with little things.

How are we supposed to steal from the exam center, anyway?

Why don't we go and see Levent Lemi?

He's said to have almost stolen the questions of the student selection exam.

What the hell are we going to tell him?

Are we going to say, "We're going to steal the questions. Give us advice."?

We don't necessarily have to say it like that. He's an open-minded person.

We'll just talk to him as if we're having an interview for the school.

One thing will lead to another and we might get him to talk.

Let's make an appointment. Who's going to call?

We can't reach him by phoning.

I think it's better to write. It'd be more proper and more formal.

I came without any notice but you've said that I was always welcome.

- I guess I trusted that. - Don't mention it. Sit down, please.

I have a student with problems. His name is Mert Yildirim.

Mert Yildirim. His mother has cancer.

Their financial status isn't good.

I don't know under which conditions she's being treated.

I thought that you may be of some help.

I received an e-mail from your students today.

They want to interview me for the school newspaper.

I told them they are welcome to come.

Yes, Mert Yildirim is also with that group of students.

But we don't have a school newspaper.

Mr. Levent, your 4 o'clock appointment is here.

Alright. Have them wait for two minutes and then let them in.

Your students are here. Don't go. You can wait in the room next door.

And let me find out what their problem is.

What they want is obvious.

If you go around being proud of your memories as a student...

they'll come and try to learn some new methods from you.

Don't be so sure. It can be worse than what your are thinking.

Besides, it's high time you start trusting me a little, alright?

These are the students who gave me a hard time...

with their questions.

Aren't you a little crowded to conduct interview?

How are things at school after my visit?

Everyone is still talking about you. Especially the broken arm trick.

We weren't only cheating. We used to steal question papers too.

But now, there are the photocopy places. You take them from there, right?

Us? How did that come about?

You're said to have almost stolen the

questions for the student selection exam.

What do you have to say about that?

Not everyone can sneak into an exam center...

to steal the questions.

You have to be a genie for that.

During that time, there was a Hodja in Beykoz.

In Beykoz?

In 1979, I knew the location of the university exam.

We gathered together with some friends to go and see this Hodja.

Take a left from the hall. That's the room.

Go inside and take it. Did you take it? Perfect.

He was drowning in his own sweat. He could see where the questions were...

in the water, and was sending his genies there to get them.

Now, come out. Cross the street.

No, leave it. Leave it.

I'm telling you to run away. Run away.

But the next day, when I saw the question booklets scattered...

in front of the building, I got it. The exam was cancelled.

If he hadn't fought with those genies at that time, they could...

have brought the booklets to us.

You will be writing this down in the school newspaper too, right?

That's not the issue. So, is it an impossible thing to steal the questions?

Are you guys thinking of stealing the questions of the exam?

What does that have to do with anything?

Well, if you are, let me tell you this right now...

this is not something that 17 year olds can do.

The guy who stole the questions in 1999; when the exam was cancelled;...

was caught 2 years later trying to get into Turkey with a fake passport.

What could a terrorist do with the exam questions?

- How the hell am I supposed to know? - Of course, you can't.

Printing all the exam booklets means 4 billion Turkish Liras.

And if the exam was to be cancelled, that meant another 4 billion Liras.

In this country, whenever the questions stolen, be sure that...

there are some people making a lot of money out of it.

- And these are not students. - But we...

Are you guys fooling around with me?

You are actually thinking that you are able to fool me, aren't you?

I have been there and done that with all the adventures.

You came here. I told you a few stories. We laughed a little bit.

But, that's all there is to it.

If you ask me, I would say don't do something that will get you in trouble.

Don't get into ridiculous things like this.

: Come on, I have some important business.

How are those supposed to watch over these kids?

I hope that this talk will be enough for them.

- No. They're not going to give up. - Why?

Because, at the time, we didn't give up either.

What are we going to do then?

Sometimes a mistake you make can take away all the good things in your life.

I guess they are about to make the mistake of their lives.

But, don't worry about it. I will help you.

Hey, how are you today?

I am well.

I am taking my medication and the chemotherapy is continuing.

I've done some research and have spoken to some doctors for your treatment.

Other than this, they have also said that you always have to be under...

supervision. You have to be admitted into the hospital as soon as possible.

That's impossible. You know that it's possible in our situation.

If you won't be angry with me, I have actually spoken to someone about it.

He's a previous student of our school. Promised to help in your treatment.

Money is not the issue here. Mert has an exam. He shouldn't see me like that.

I don't think there is anything more important in his life than your health.

Even though, it's an exam that's going determine his future?

I can't just pretend not to notice the mistakes you're both about to make.

Please don't insist. Try and understand.

Thank you.

Gamze's still angry with me, isn't she?

Where's Mert? Have you seen him today?

Yes, it's finished. This is it. This is where it ends. We quit.

Yes, we've heard what he said. He sounded right too.

It has always seemed impossible to me anyway. The only way is to study.

- There must be a way. - Are you?

There must be a way to steal those questions.

I guess you didn't listen to him.

He said that it's not something a 17 year could do. It would cause trouble.

I am not just speaking for myself. I am thinking about all of us.

Can you imagine what would happen to us if we got caught?

Let me tell you what.

A) We end up in an A type prison. B) We end up in a B type prison.

Forget about the prison. Uncle Metin would beat the hell out of us first.

What does my father have to do with it?

If you ask Levent, we couldn't steal questions at the school either.

We've already come so far and it'd be stupid to back out now.

It'll actually be stupid to continue. I give up.

We have to think of every single detail. We could come up with a great plan.

This is it for me too. This is too much for me to handle.

I am out.

Great man. Great. I thought we were friends.

Weren't we supposed to be together all the time? You're such a fickle man!

The other day, you told us that the

exam meant the world to you and that you wouldn't surrender.

- I have no intention of surrendering. - What does it have to do with that?

We got into this thing all together and we're leaving it all together.

- It's that simple. - No, it can't be that simple.

I don't think that you want to understand.

What is it that I don't want to understand, Sinan? What are you saying?

Why don't you understand? Because...

Military service.

Because you don't feel like it. They're

going to call you in for the military duty

That's all you care about. Sorry, man.

You should have thought of this before things got so far ahead.

I've been making you uncomfortable since the beginning. Sorry for that.

Let go!

What the hell did you do? His mother has cancer. Cancer!

I'm out.

That was his mother's last wish.

Did we just hear the same thing?

Where are you going?

Go back! Don't disappoint your friends.

I am not going back. And stop telling me what to do every two minutes.

I am not your little sister.

I am already depressed. Don't push it. Come on, go back!

I know everything!

What do you know?

The reason why you decided to take the test...

your mother, her illness, everything!

- How do you know? - That's not important.

- How do you know? - What importance does it have?

Why do you think I forgave you?

Because, I've seen the things you could do for the ones you love

even though you dumped and left me.

Now, you are telling me that you can turn your back on me and leave again.

Go ahead, go then!

I thought you were with Sinan.

What did you think? Stupid!

I still love you so much!

Gamze was really a girl.

We are unfortunate.

He doesn't have a father and I don't have a mother.

Don't be so dramatic all of a sudden.

Guys, what you see in my hand Oh, he is sleeping.

Whatever. The cup you see in my hand, is in remembrance of an adventure

that your brother Uluc had with a British thief.

British?

I was just a little boy then.

I was playing in the stables, and there was a man hiding at the back.

He said, "Shhhh!" And I didn't make any noise.

Suddenly, two men entered the stable.

They looked at me. They said, "Did you see anyone?"

I didn't say anything out of fear.

Then they left. And the man came out of his hiding place and came up to me.

I don't really remember his face but he stroked my hair.

In broken Turkish, he said, "What's your name?"

And I said, "My name is Uluc." Then he took off.

Alright, but what was a British man doing in a stable in Istanbul?

That's what we found out after we got this cup.

Actually, he was one of the special

thieves working for the Queen of England.

My dad always talks about it.

These guys would go around stealing back all the valuable things that were

once stolen from the Royal Palace.

What did they come to steal?

You know that the British horses are the most valuable horses in the world.

They are a special breed. They are a mixture of the Arabian and

the Middle Asian Turkish horses.

Don't they have horses in Britain? Why are they stealing from here?

The Royal Family has them specially bred in Caucasia.

The Russian Mafia hears of this and they replace these foals with

pseudo-English ones.

And they sell the genuine ones to the rest of the world.

And one of those ended up in our stable.

So, then they use their own man to get their own horses back, right?

When he sent me this gift two months later, my father saw it and asked me

what it was. I told him the whole story.

When my dad searched to find out the

bloodline of the foal everything was clear

That's great. What does it say here?

Let me see. Give it here.

'My dear friend, Uluc, I owe you one. Thank you, Charles.'

Now, you guess the rest of it. He said he owes me one.

So, what's the deal then? What are we doing?

Gmail, hotmail, yahoo...

I'm trying to find Charles' address by checking all the names that are

registered under the name 'Charles'.

Then what? Are we going to e-mail him? What are we going to say?

We need the selection exam questions. Stop. Come with the first flight. Stop.

Is this the plan?

I know that it seems ridiculous. But, what if one them ends up to be Charles?

Let's say that he remembered you and replied.

Do you think he would come here?

Well, I don't know that. But you saw it, he said he owes me one.

Besides, does anyone else have a better idea?

This is something like throwing a bottle in the sea with a help message

Dude, get your feet off my bed.

We are going to export something and we don't know any English.

I told you that my English would be enough to write him an e-mail

but you insisted on using a dictionary. Well, here it is.

Tell him that it's a matter of life and death.

Is it dead or death?

Isn't it D, E, A, T, H?

There are too many people named Charles. I sent about 17 thousand e-mails.

But, that's normal.

Then, it must be a very common name there, like we have Hasan and Huseyin.

Apparently. That's what I figured out last night as well.

Hey, any news?

What are you looking for, dad?

I am looking for the printout that has the

results of the final race. Do you have it?

What could I possibly be doing with your printouts?

I'm begging you, please get out. I'll clean it. Get out.

As of today, we only have 7 weeks left for the exam.

I told you that it wouldn't work. It's hopeless.

He's going to come. You'll see.

I'm going to try something else tonight.

What's going on, Uluc?

Please stand up, son. What's going on?

What are you telling your friends? We'd like to know too.

Then why do you blabber as if there were something important? Butterball!

I've found the e-mail addresses for the Royal Palace and all the embassies.

Tonight, I will send an e-mail to all of them.

Sinan, quick! Come here. There's an e-mail from Charles. Come on!

Come on. Hurry up! - Hey there's an e-mail from Charles.

Get up! Get ready! Uluc wants us back in the base as soon as possible.

I love the way you say, "My dear little friend."

Look! He started his mail by saying, "My little friend."

And finished it by saying, "Lots of love, Charles."

He wrote really intimate words, didn't he my love?

He says here, Send me all the details'.

I've already written down everything and sent it to him, before you came.

You've improved your English, huh Uluc?

What did you tell him?

I told him that I know who he is and how good he is with these things

told him the reason why we need the questions and things like that.

Ok, let's say that this guy comes here.

But, what if he asks us to do things that we can't handle?

What's the maximum he could ask for?

I don't know. A)He might require a private plane.

: B) He might require a fake ID. C) He might ask us for money.

What money are you talking about? He says that he owes me one.

Guys, a mail from Charles!

What's he saying?

My dear friend, Uluc. I owe you one

Your situation...

hey, what does 'sensible' mean?

Let's look it up in the dictionary.

It means 'delicate'.

I can understand that you're in a very delicate situation.

I would be grateful to be of some help to you guys.

He's coming here. It's wonderful.

Guys, hold on a second. We're screwed.

- Don't be so happy! - What happened?

The writing continues. I'll cover all of my own expenses.

As a principle, I require 2000 sterling that I took from my firstjob.

No need to pay me for anything else.

Give me a call when you transfer the money. Full stop. Charles.

So, what is it? It's not good to get carried away so fast, is it?

You're so annoying, always predicting misfortune. Should I kill you?

Hey, wait a minute guys.

I'm the one who got you into this thing, so it's my job to find the money

Yeah, sure. As if you can pay it.

Guys, with the exchange rate today, it adds up to 4000 Turkish Liras.

So, don't give up hope yet. We still have 5 weeks until the exam.

Listen to what I've got to say, love. Why don't you arrange a job for us?

I seriously congratulate him. He's seriously a man like a king.

He directly made him a lion king. Congratulations.

Gamze, you look wonderful in that rabbit outfit.

Don't you think we should get it a size

bigger, so she can wear it next year too?

I'll bring you the biggest size so she can wear it all her life.

We could only collect 300 Turkish Liras. We need to work harder.

- Would you like to taste our product? - Would you like to try our new product?

I have just done this one.

How is it?

Is this big enough?

You are very beautiful. Can I ask you a few questions?

Can I ask you a few questions about our store?

I don't understand.

I prefer it because of it's price. Yes, I'm using it because it's cheap.

I am burning!

Oh God, it's enough! Here you go, sir. Thank you.

3 billion 2 hundred million.

Yeah, but it's not enough for Charles'.

I say that we send it anyway whether it's enough or not.

You know your friends on days like this. And if he doesn't come, I'll...

Alright then, let's send it.

Yes, Mr. Rafet. You have called for me?

There is a complaint about you, Mrs. Erez.

It's said that you have been telling the students to forget about the exam

that life is more important than that.

Not exactly the way you put it but what if I did?

What do you mean by "What if I did?" Parents have been calling in and asking

their kids to be removed from the intensive courses. They want their

money back. We hit the bottom.

Students don't need intensive courses. They need to be conscious.

Stop talking nonsense, lady.

Do you have any idea what we'd do if we

didn't have the money from those courses?

What do you think the school runs on?

Is that money used to run the school...

or to run other businesses in the school? We'll find out about that soon.

Hey, what the hell are you trying to tell me?

I'm an honorable man, okay? You can't prove anything.

I'll start a fire in this room, and there won't be any documents left.

I'm the Assistant Director, Mr. Rafet! Not a bus driver's assistant!

You better watch your words.

I'm not watching them. So what?

I'm astonished! Are you an anarchist or what?

Guys, Charles accepted the money. He's coming.

"I didn't know that you were so short on money."

He said, "If I had known, we'd have thought of something else. No problem."

And how did he say that in English?

You deserve a slap, you know.

Stop it. When is he coming?

On July 14. Wednesday of the week of the exam.

It's exactly the time when the question booklets are being distributed.

Everything is going as we planned.

How are we going to recognize him? Where are we going to pick him up?

He's coming with a private plane.

He asked for some cryptic sentences

for our first conversation, and I gave them to him.

What cryptic sentences? Don't you know this man?

He asked for a code and I told him something that we'd all understand.

Is this his plane?

I don't know. It's time.

He actually really came, huh?

Where did the car come from?

Private plane, private car. What have we brought like this?

He must have tons of money.

If you were to give me 3.5 billion Liras, I'd have tons of money too.

Stop reminding me about it. Thief!

He looks like Van Damme!

How is this? Is this Charles?

I don't know. I haven't seen him in such a long time.

Look carefully. Are we mistaken?

What are you looking for? This is definitely Van Damme!

No way! If that's Van Damme then I am Sharon Stone.

Our life has turned into a movie.

No, he has nothing to do with Van Damme.

I have remembered. This is Charles. He hasn't changed at all.

And you're thinking he's Van Damme

No, he has nothing to do with Van Damme. He's Charles.

He looks very British, doesn't he?

- Where the hell is he going? - He is going.

Hey, he looks so much like Van Damme.

Can this be a hidden camera show?

You're going to kill me one day. Who the hell is this?

Hello. I'm Mr. Charles' personal interpreter.

Don't get me wrong but our issue is a bit confidential.

I never get things wrong. I know 12 languages, and it's not my firstjob.

The booklets have been printed already tomorrow night they'll start

distributing them to the exam centers.

The Exam papers have been printed already and tomorrow night

they'll go to the exam centers.

Will you do the job at the printers? I mean, is this what he'll do?

You've said no one in the printing room can leave until the exam hour.

The room will be crowded and risky.

Will we steal the questions from the exam centers?

How are the booklets carried?

The booklets are hidden inside a sack.

But the sacks are sealed. If those sacks are cut or opened

or if the seal breaks or a booklet's

stolen from the sack the exam's cancelled.

I am a professional. When my job is done, that place will have never been

entered, the sacks never touched and nothing will be missing.

The booklets will have reached the exam center in Istanbul, the same night they

leave for distribution; tomorrow.

This is the building that we'll steal questions from.

There's a 24 hour security guard.

They check everyone who goes in and out. Just so you know.

Doors, I never use doors.

Thank the Lord who has brought you.

The questions are being kept in one room.

We kind of found out about which rooms they're being kept in from the students.

There are surely no cameras in this room.

There is only one guard waiting for the exams and

he is not really paying attention.

Did you arrange a phone?

What's he saying?

He's asking if it's clean or not. You fool. May God punish you.

What's wrong?

He's asking if the line's clear or not.

Yes, the line is clear, of course.

Shall we give the number?

You write it down, 536

I will steal the questions tomorrow and then give you a call.

Yes, you will give us a call and then we will do this thing.

The operation is completed!

Thank you.

It's a good thing that we've taken the questions.

Who is the boss here?

- What the hell is it to you? - Don't talk.

What are you doing here?

Hey, there's an envelope in his hand.

Give me that envelope.

Get the hell out of here.

What do you have to do with an envelope? Move it!

Let's see what we have here. A CD?

They've been after some things lately. We'll find out about it now.

If Mert hears of the things we did, he will kill us.

Nonsense! School is over. Mert is past.

Other than us, there are no more heroes around here anymore.

What's this?

This is Van Damme!

Yes, and I am Al Pacino. Let him come. We'll meet him.

Here you go.

And this is a family souvenir, a gift.

I bow with all do respect.

We are dead if they ever open that CD.

Let's go to the neighborhood. Maybe we can find it there.

I thank the Lord who brought you.

You did beat them up, right?

I don't believe this! We have the booklets and no one knows about it.

Charles is a peculiar man. He's great.

He brought the questions.

- Yes, he really was a peculiar man. - What do we do now?

We have 2 more days. We have to answer the questions.

This is it for me, man.

What do you mean?

Don't be ridiculous. We've worked so hard on this.

I can't look at those questions. I can't do that.

I can't take away the rights of all those people. Forgive me...

Kaan, are you crazy? Here are the questions.

Yes, Gamze. This is where it ends. Have I ever let you guys down before?

Have I ever broken out of the team? Now, you have to respect my decision

I'll do whatever it is I know, in the exam. I'll be more at peace like this.

Kaan, are you really serious?

Come on, please.

Congratulations, Jean Claude.

You've played your part very well.

I would have loved to see their faces when they realize that it's the

booklet of the previous year.

We can now see all the correspondence that the children will make, from the

- address they used to mail you. - Good!

This is going to be really hard on them when they learn this in the exam.

Life can sometimes be like a mean teacher.

It'll test you first and then teach you.

Belgian actor Jean Claude Van Damme who caught by surprise by the reporters

last night, gave ambiguous answers to questions and left Istanbul quietly

with his private plane and the special team that

he brought along with him.
