For if an old man were to adopt an eye of this or that kind,

he would be able to see like a young man.

Aristotle

Hello?

He's here. I've found him.

I've found him in the reeds. Close to the lake.

Seems like an accident.

It seems like that. His clothes are torn apart.

OK.

Hurry up. Tell the boss they must come quickly.

You know, I have to go.

OK.

I file the nails square again.

Then I remove the cuticles.

The cuticles...

I remove them slowly...

I do another nail, when I finish one.

And I repeat the same procedure.

We need to have a pedicure every 15 days.

For the foot health.

You can extend to a month, if there's no need.

We just need to remove this little piece here right now.

I'll clean it with my file.

We call these little bulges.

Or a hangnail on the hand.

I'll continue the procedure when I remove the roughness.

Haven't you used the drops for two weeks?

Why haven't you used it?

You can stand up.

You can use your work-related insurance...

You stated that you're self-employed?

I'm moving to Burhaniye soon.

I have a friend there, Sezgin. Sezgin Koçak.

Maybe we can open up a café together.

He knows someone in Bedeviye. When will I be totally blind?

Salim, this is a very different case.

Our recommendation for a case like this...

When will I be totally blind?

You have a few months. It's not going to happen immediately.

How can I tell you?

Your brain will quit sending signals to the visual cortex slowly.

You'll need a calmer and more careful life from now on.

And you may need time to adapt.

Whatever your secret occupation is,

I think you need to quit it as soon as possible and adapt to your new life.

OK.

His name is Murat Soylu. He's the owner of Soylu Print.

Looks like he's been stabbed more than ten times. He lost too much blood.

Looks like the guy hated him so much.

It's normal that he has enemies. He's very rich. They have big printing houses.

In Istanbul, in Ankara,

-in Adana, in Hamburg and... -Where's the boss?

-Which one? -The prosecutor.

Her niece's getting married. She may come later. She told us to work hard.

Won't you look at the body?

I won't. He stinks.

It's only been three hours. He can't stink.

He smells like animal shit.

His wife... What's her name? Where is she?

Handan Soylu. She's in her room. She'll come soon.

I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.

I needed time to gather myself.

I can guess, Handan. It's alright.

I'm Nihal, Nihal Çeliköz from Homicide.

I know how hard it is for you to have this conversation.

Please don't take this as a formal investigation.

The prosecutor may perform an action if it's deemed necessary.

I want to ask you a few questions since we're here.

I understand you, Nihal.

I can give you the answers before you ask.

Today, I was on stage at the time of the incident.

-Stage? -I'm a pianist, Nihal.

Or rather, I was a pianist when I was young.

Not at all!

Sometimes I give a concert for the benefit of the organization.

I was at one of these concerts today.

The organization?

Our organization's name is, "Do You See Me?".

We work for the visually impaired.

Murat and I have a choir with visually impaired children.

Murat loves music.

I mean, he loved music.

Why was Murat not at the concert?

He came home to change. Before, he was with the animals.

Animals...

I had left home earlier.

With my driver.

My driver is an ex-cop by the way.

Suat.

You said he was with the animals.

Murat was a charitable person, Nihal.

He used to have seven sheep slaughtered and distribute the meat every Friday.

He used to stand over there personally during the slaughtering.

He used to say, "The blood of animals cleanses me."

It's an interesting approach.

Murat was really interesting, Nihal. He was unique,

had secrets...

-Even for a blind person like me... -Not at all!

I can't philosophize blindness to you.

It's not appropriate for a blind person.

But I can tell you this,

we see more than you think.

So, you shouldn't underestimate us.

Not at all!

You said "Not at all!" so much that

she'll think we have a special department for this.

She's really weird, Salim.

Her attitude, her figure, her eyes...

She even fascinated me.

Piano and stuff...

I don't get it. How can she be so rich and blind at the same time?

She's so rich but she's blind...

Don't you find it odd?

I suppose rich people can't be blind.

Blindness is more like for the poor.

I don't know anyone who is blind and rich.

Do you know anyone rich and deaf?

Nope.

When you think of it, I don't know a rich person like her.

I remember Uncle Hilmi. He has a car showroom in Samsun.

He was my late father's army friend.

Army friends are good.

I have Sezgin.

-The one in Burhaniye? -Yes, Sezgin. Sezgin Koçak.

He said that he negotiated with the municipality.

They offered a café for teachers.

They'll meet with the Director of National Education. God willing!

Hello.

Hello.

We're police. Can we talk?

Sure. What's the matter?

Murat Soylu... He was your customer.

Yes. What's the matter?

-He was murdered last night. -No way!

He was a good man. May he rest in peace.

He was here a couple of hours before he was murdered.

True. I wasn't here but...

He used to come here every Friday. And yesterday was Friday.

He was here yesterday. Who spoke to him?

Recep! Come here!

How much is a sheep?

One sheep is about 350 lira, but it'll be cheaper for you, chief.

She's the chief, not me.

When did Murat come here?

I don't know.

-Around five. Why? -Was Handan with him?

She wasn't here. Why?

Someone killed Murat. Tell us exactly when he was here!

What are you talking about?

Who killed Murat and why?

He was stabbed. Like ten times.

Handan is very upset.

-Salim? -Yes?

What happened to your eyes?

I don't know. What happened?

They're bloodshot. It must be sleeplessness.

-You should go and rest. -You?

The prosecutor will question them. I'll take care of it.

And also, Murat Soylu's maids and gardener were on leave at the same time.

I'll make them come here.

How about Suat?

-Who's Suat? -Handan's driver.

Right... and him.

He should come, too.

What about Handan?

What about her?

Should I pick her up?

The prosecutor doesn't need her.

She wants to see her after the autopsy and funeral.

She's very upset.

Yes, she's very upset.

Your eyes are really bad. Go and rest a little bit.

I know how hard it is for you to have this conversation.

Please don't take this as a formal investigation.

The prosecutor may perform an action if deemed necessary.

I want to ask you a few questions since we're here.

I understand you, Nihal.

I can give you the answers before you ask.

Today, I was on stage at the time of the incident.

-Stage? -I'm a pianist, Nihal.

Or rather, I was a pianist when I was young.

Not at all!

Sometimes I give a concert for the benefit of the organization.

I was at one of these concerts today.

Yes, I'm alone.

The maids were on leave.

They took Suat a couple of hours ago.

For the interrogation.

I don't know.

I guess they'll question everyone one by one.

We spoke a bit last night, but it wasn't an official interrogation.

No.

I don't want anyone.

If you come, people will swarm here.

So much fuss, all that crying...

I don't want that.

Who can scare me?

I can call the police and they'll send me an officer if I need to.

OK.

Who's there?

Huh?

Animal!

Huh?

Who's there? Animal?

Who's there?

Animal!

Animal!

Animal!

Animal!

Animal!

Animal!

Animal!

Who's there?

Huh?

Animal! Huh?

Who's there, animal?

Who's there?

Animal!

Animal!

Salim!

You've finally come! Bravo!

For two weeks, I've been here waiting for you for an hour.

Where've you been?

In the court, you'd said that you wanted to see your child more.

And nonsense like that.

You don't even come for an hour and a half. You...

What's up, Hülya?

Great!

I've fallen in love, Hülya.

Great news, Salim!

I'm not sure if it's great. I'm confused.

Have I fallen in love with you?

Moron!

Who have you fallen in love with?

She's blind.

She may be a murderer.

You've found someone like you.

I'm going blind.

It'd be good, Salim.

Take this.

What is that?

You can show it to a doctor. It says what's going to happen to me.

I don't believe you.

I know, nobody does.

What's this all about?

Blindness? Are you serious?

She's all grown up.

She's resembling you. Look at her.

Everybody says that her eyes resemble you.

-Her name is Handan. -What?

She's so beautiful.

She's smart and very rich.

She called me an animal. I don't think she'd come with me.

Nobody would come with you to Burhaniye unless they go totally mad.

You broke my heart.

I know, but I can't help it.

What should I buy for her?

-For her? -For her.

You can buy a mirror, Salim. I think it makes sense.

You broke my heart.

Yes, I'm alone.

The maids were on leave.

They took Suat a couple of hours ago.

For the interrogation.

I don't know.

I guess they'll question everyone one by one.

We spoke a bit last night, but it wasn't an official interrogation.

No.

Salim! Look here!

I'm going out. Can you examine the autopsy report?

Where are you going?

The prosecutor sent everyone.

Drivers and sheep sellers...

She's only holding the maids. She thinks something, but I don't know.

She's sending me to the print house. She's signed the search warrant.

Why am I not coming with you?

You look so tired. Your eyes are red. Sit down and read the report.

What about Handan?

She's fine and expects to hear good news.

The autopsy is over. They'll bury her husband soon.

She must be occupied with that.

She's fine and expects to hear good news.

The autopsy is over. They'll bury her husband soon.

She must be occupied with that.

Why did the boss send Suat?

Even the prosecutor doesn't ask this many questions! Please!

I'm going now!

Coşkun!

Hello?

Suat, what's up?

Yes?

What are you doing here?

I...

I'm going to take Handan to the organization.

Where is it?

In Levent.

Good.

Blind people love Levent.

Where are you from?

-From Burhaniye. -Shit!

-Excuse me? -Are you serious?

Yes, from Burhaniye.

Good God! I've a friend from Burhaniye.

Sezgin Koçak. Koçak Family. You must know him.

Koçak...

No, I don't know him.

I've been in Istanbul for so long.

I don't like that, Suat.

-Coşkun. -Yes?

Come here.

Take him to the police station.

Wait a second! I've been just released. Why are you taking me?

Because you're a motherfucker...

Take him.

-I'll be there tonight. -I need to call Handan!

-I'll call her. -Slow down.

Come along!

First, to the organization, Suat.

Why aren't we going, Suat?

Why did we take this route, sir?

It goes directly to the country.

When I was coming, that road was busy.

I wanted to take this route.

Do you want me to turn back?

Nobody wants to turn back, Salim Başol.

-How do you know my surname? -Rich people know everything.

I assume by your surname that your father was on good terms with the military.

I don't think so. My father was a policeman.

Başol is my mother's surname.

What do you want from me?

I want to make love to you.

I'm sure lots of people want that. What's your excuse?

I've fallen in love with you.

Why?

Because you're also blind.

I didn't kill anyone.

I did, but involuntarily.

What is it like to get paid to kill someone?

You'd prefer not to get paid at all.

I'd do it for free.

Most people do.

Damn them!

Amen!

Do you dream?

I was born blind.

Don't you dream?

If you wonder, you're going to dream.

I will dream about my mom.

How do you know?

I always dream about her.

I've never seen my mother.

I can guess.

But you didn't guess that my mother had never seen me.

Why did your father marry her?

My mother was rich.

Why do you loathe blind people?

I've an army friend in Burhaniye.

Sezgin.

Sezgin Koçak.

His mom had twins and his dad had triplets... I just loathe myself.

You're unfair to yourself.

I'm sure that there're thousands of men who wish to be in your shoes.

You've a gun to use whenever you want.

Why do you like guns so much?

-Because I've never had a gun. -So you killed with a knife?

I didn't kill anyone!

Do you smell blood?

Not yet.

I can even smell Murat.

What's red like?

It's like you, Handan.

Don't let them kill it.

What's going on? Who are you?

Goddamn you!

You've saved the sheep, Salim Başol.

Are you an idiot?

Are you a moron? Are you stupid? How did you do this by yourself?

How can you detain anyone without my command?

Are you going to get us into trouble?

And you killed a sheep!

You shot a sheep!

Are you an animal? Have you lost your mind?

Answer me! Are you an animal?

Salim.

Hey!

-What? -What is it with you?

-I've resigned. What happened? -Don't be stupid. Resigned?

-The bazaar is messed up. -How?

-You know Recep, the sheep guy. -The young one.

Yes.

We've confirmed a relationship between him and Handan.

What relationship?

-What kind of a relationship? -We don't know.

They're talking on Suat's phone line.

Son of a bitch!

We're in the cemetery.

Do you think the dead don't curse?

-And? -And we don't know anything else.

We'll find out when we get the transcription.

There's nothing.

They must have talked about sheep. What else can they talk about?

The prosecutor suspects something.

She called me "animal".

She didn't say "animal". She said "Are you an animal?".

Am I an animal, Nihal?

Handan has left.

She left because of you.

She'll never come back.

Goddamn you!

Handan?

Handan?

Excuse me, is Handan here?

Handan?

Yes, gosh! I said Handan. Handan Soylu.

Is Handan Soylu here? Are you blind or deaf?

Lowbreed!

One, two...

Goddamn you!

Goddamn you all!

Welcome, Salim.

Welcome, Salim.

What happened to your face?

My handsome boy!

My lion! Does your wife know about this?

Mom.

Mom.

Son?

How's Ayşe?

Good, she's a big girl now. They say that her eyes resemble mine.

So she resembles me, too.

Yeah, Mom.

She resembles you and me.

She resembles everyone. She resembles all the world.

Do you get along with your wife?

Fine. I buy whatever she wants. I bought a snakeskin bag.

Buy her a mirror.

A mirror?

Women see the whole world when they look at the mirror.

I've always wanted to have a mirror.

You should have asked my dad.

I've stayed with your dad two times.

I didn't have time to ask for a mirror.

What a son of a bitch!

Just like you!

-I'm glad that they killed him. -Thank God!

They shot him in the head.

Twelve bullets!

He deserved it! He chose to be a policeman.

Yeah, he could have been a teacher like you.

Or a doctor. Stupid animal!

Scumbag!

Poor, a terrific dad.

Stop following Handan.

What?

This woman you've talked about won't be good to you.

But I love her!

But she doesn't love you back.

Maybe she will.

She wouldn't have escaped then.

Maybe she didn't.

All murderers escape.

If you can find one who doesn't, don't miss that one.

I can't sacrifice my son to the murderers.

Piss off! Fuck you! Son of a bitch!

Son of a bitch! You're a son of a bitch!

Why did you come here? Are you mad?

-Why did you come here? -I'm afraid, Recep.

You haven't come home for days. I've worried about you.

I can't be alone.

I've said that I'm going to come in a few days. Fuck you!

I've said I'll be there. You've brought that bastard, too!

You whore! Get the fuck out of here!

Fuck you! Get the fuck out of here!

What a whore! She couldn't fuck off!

Recep!

Hello.

-Yes? -Is this your knife?

What knife?

This knife. Why are you asking?

Recep, look.

Your fingerprints are on it.

And this is Murat's blood.

You can't escape.

Come,

let's talk thoroughly.

OK? I'll take care of you.

I'll help you. You'll get the maximum remission. OK?

I'll look after...

Run, Leyla!

Run!

-Recep! -Run, Leyla!

Recep, where are you?

Recep!

Leyla!

Are you blind, too? Don't be afraid. I'm a policeman.

Don't be afraid, I'm a policeman.

Come, I'll take you home. Look.

I have a gun. Look.

Did you see?

-I like your name, Leyla. -Thank you.

Is Recep your husband?

My mother is blind, too. And I'm going to be blind.

We can be friends then. Can we?

Is the baby blind?

-No. -Good. God forbid.

What are you doing there, Leyla? Is Recep your husband?

Is he your lover?

Are you hungry? Are you hungry?

Is he your lover?

No, I'm not afraid, Recep.

What?

I don't know why I'm not afraid, but I'm good.

No. The police didn't come.

All...

All right, I'll call you if they come.

No, I...

No, he didn't call.

OK.

Recep?

Recep?

God...

Recep? Is that you?

Recep?

Recep?

My God!

Help!

Help! My God!

Help!

Leyla!

Leyla!

Who are you?

I'm Salim. Salim Başol. I took you in the morning. Police.

I'm so afraid.

I'm so afraid.

-I'm so afraid. -Alright.

Don't be afraid, Leyla.

-I'm here. -Salim.

Don't leave me, please!

I won't leave you.

Don't be afraid. I won't leave you.

Are you still afraid, Leyla?

No, you have a gun. I don't need to be afraid.

Do you want to take my gun?

Who wouldn't want a gun?

Take my gun.

Help! Mom!

Recep, help me!

Leyla!

Leyla! Leyla!

Who are you?

I'm Salim. Salim Başol. I took you in the morning. Police.

Salim, is that you?

-Yes, I am. -I'm so afraid.

I'm so afraid.

Don't be, come on.

Where are we going?

-Salim? -Huh?

Where are we going?

-What's the baby's name? -Murat.

-Murat? -Yeah.

-Where are we going? -To the police station.

Why are we going there? I'm afraid.

It's safer, don't be afraid. I have a gun. Don't be afraid.

Salim!

Come, Leyla.

Wait, I'm coming.

Coşkun! Go to Leyla's house. To be on the safe side.

Süleyman, buy milk for the baby. Nazif, bring tea to us.

We have a guest.

Come.

Wait here, Leyla. I'm here, chief.

Come, Leyla.

The chair is here.

81-89, are you listening?

Fuat, where are the files?

81-89, to HQ.

-OK. -97-60, to HQ. Roger that.

97-56-61, where's the car?

97-61, to HQ. The suspects are being questioned now.

Do you have the files?

There's nobody here.

Roger that.

Salim?

What are you doing in the dark? Are you a maniac?

-Hülya? -What?

What are you doing here all alone?

You're not answering my calls. Why don't you text me back?

I'm worried about you. Are you an idiot?

Why are you here?

To fuck you off.

Because I'm worried. Open the door and let us in.

Why are you worried?

I showed that paper to a doctor.

You're really going to be blind, Salim.

Leave.

-Salim? -Leave!

I don't want you. I'm the one who is going to be blind.

Goddamn you!

I shouldn't have worried about you. Psycho!

You're going to be blind but you're still a psycho!

97-56, we took direction.

...940 who...

Where are we going now?

Why don't you say something?

Mom.

It's Leyla. Take care of her.

I'll be back.

Why did you leave me?

I didn't leave you, Salim.

Don't lie to me! You always lie to me!

I don't know you well enough to lie to you.

You've slept with me.

But I haven't seen anything.

Get it!

I love you.

So?

-I'll help you. -With what?

I'll elude the police. Let's escape together.

I don't need to escape.

Handan!

Handan, come with me.

Think again. Please!

Handan, please, think again!

Salim, I didn't do anything.

I didn't kill my husband. And I don't love you.

So, why should I escape?

-You really don't love me? -No.

Why did you sleep with me?

Do you smell the blood, Salim?

Me too.

Leave now.

Salim.

Have you broken the mirror?

Don't go, if you have.

-What happened, Nihal? -Where are you?

-I'm here. -Please come to the station.

You created trouble again.

-What have I done? -You've done a lot!

Where should I begin?

Why did you go to Recep? Why did you do all that at the concert?

What do you want? Tell me, please!

Where is Leyla?

Recep was under technical surveillance but we've lost him.

The operation is all messed up.

Salim?

What do you want from me?

Leyla, I've never seen my father.

And he's never seen me.

My mother has never seen me either.

But I've seen my mother.

I've seen my daughter, too. She's seen me, too.

But my mother hasn't seen her.

I won't see my daughter in a year.

And then, she won't see her mother either.

What do you want from me? Tell me, for God's sake!

I want to make love with you.

What are you saying? Don't!

-Salim. -Look, don't say anything. Don't cry.

Why are you saying such filthy things to me?

But you were doing filthy things.

What have I done?

Isn't Murat the father of this child?

What are you talking about?

And he married you off to Recep when you got pregnant.

Salim...

Don't talk to me! Do you think I am a moron?

Salim...

Please leave me, for God's sake!

Recep was constantly asking Murat for money.

Murat was giving till he got tired.

Handan learned about you.

Then you three made a plan. Handan, you and Suat.

Then Recep and Murat...

Leyla!

Leyla!

Leyla!

Leyla, come here!

Leyla, come here!

Salim!

What have you done?

Salim, call the ambulance!

Leyla!

Salim!

Leyla.

-Leyla. -Don't come here. It will be really bad.

What's going to happen?

Please, don't! I'm begging you!

-What shouldn't I do? -Don't...

Salim! Don't.

Murat Soylu.

-Is this Murat Soylu? -Please, I'm begging you.

-Look, is this Murat Soylu? -Please, don't. Please.

Is this Murat Soylu?

What is this? What are these?

-What are these? Leyla! -Don't do this!

Leyla...

Salim?

-Salim? -Motherfucker!

Motherfucker!

-Huh? -Recep!

Shut up! Why are you with my wife?

-You motherfucker... -Please don't, Recep.

Please!

Do you remember?

Don't, please!

Do you remember this knife?

-Don't! -Do you remember?

Don't answer the phone!

Hello?

-Hello? -Don't answer!

In half an hour? OK.

Who called you, Leyla?

Leyla!

Don't go!

Leyla!

Who called you?

God!

Call... the ambulance.

Leyla! Don't go!

Salim.

Call the ambulance. For God's sake.

Salim...

For God's sake... ambulance.

Salim.

Leyla!

Leyla!
