Tell your master that I got haircut recently.

- I'll buy weekly groceries. - Buy cigarettes and matches for me.

Did we make a mistake Zebercet Efendi?

Not at all, I've been to shopping last Monday; got my haircut there.

When the boy said so I thought you'd never return back.

That's not the case, I'll come.

You shaved your moustache too. It's better; makes you look younger.

What did he want from you?

That I get a haircut.

- Is there something master? - The food was burning.

It's cold outside tonight.

Father used to run; owner is our relative, Lives in istanbul.

You haven't gone out for six days. Do you sit like this all the time?

Yes sir, this is my job.

Hard job. You don't have a helper either; you're bearing it well.

- Is it really hard job? - What did you say?

- Hello, I have a favor to ask. - Go on.

We were going to izmir with a woman; train has an hour delay...

Can we stay here tonight? We're in a tight corner here;...

we don't want to wait in the station.

- Where's the woman? - At the station.

- Sure, come in. - Thank you.

Who's this guy?

Asked for someone. Will come with someone, wanted a room.

- Did you say he asked for someone? - No, he will come with someone.

I booked a room in the morning.

We get the payment beforehand.

Why? I'll pay you in the morning.

Apologies. You already owe us for one night.

How come? Do I owe you?

Yes. It was two years ago; while you leave you said "I'll pay later".

You must be mistaken; this is my first time here.

I don't think so.

How come? If you don't trust me I can't stay at your hotel.

As you wish.

Weird place.

You're very though.

Don't go yet./i>

You won't come anymore.

Yes. I'm getting up.

- Good day sir. - Good day.

- How much do I owe? - Seven days; 5250 lira.

Keep the change.

So you're going away.

You were here when she left; the day woman left.

Did you realize that she won't come?

She will not come; but you couldn't wait.

Maybe you were waiting for somebody else.

After all, you did well.

- Should I clean number one master? - No, it's clean.

Is it really?

Don't forget.

Good morning.

- Can I wait a bit? - As you wish.

- Would you smoke? - Thanks, have one.

- Was it comfortable last night? - Very good; thank you.

No room. We don't have room!

Can I have a tea?

Thank you for your trouble.

How can I go to Hacirahmanli village? Please wake me up at eight o'clock.

This is the bed I was born in.

I'd die If you wouldn't come.

I'd die If you wouldn't come.

You said you'd return in a week.

- Hello. - No room.

We're full, no room available.

- How come? We stay here all the time. - I'm sorry sir.

Ridiculous; hotel's huge! Let's go then.

Good morning.

Don't bring paper anymore.

Nobody reads them.

- Why they don't come master? - Dunno, they'll come again.

- I can go if you want master? - Where would you go?

Dunno; I'd go to village. Why? There's nothing to do.

Very well. Rest a while; not that anybody's coming.

I'm going out for a while. If somebody ask for bed say no.

- I want a mix of these. - OK.

Hello, how may I help you?

My fifth night in this room.

Rooms are occupied.

- Don't you have any space? - Rooms are occupied sir.

- What do you want? - Should I leave tomorrow?

Go if you want.

I made some "Kachamak"; should I bring some?

Leave it; I'm out. If door rings, don't answer.

Your shish sir.

- Excuse me. - I said your shish.

Get up, we're going to station.

- What up, what did he do? - Like you don't know.

- Know what? - Fugitive, he's wanted. Get up now.

Who snitched me?

You didn't pay!

- Is this taken? - We don't have room sir.

- It's seven already; I'd better go. - To cockfight again?

Yeah.

Stay man, we were having good time.

No way, I'll think of it otherwise. There is good fight tonight;...

none of the cocks have been defeatedş yet.

- Waiter! - Leave it, we'll pay.

Have a pleasant evening.

Two thousand for red!

Two thousand for freckles. Two thousand!

I'll take five thousand from red. Five thousand!

- Last time it was better. - Which one?

That red one, on the left.

- Missed it. - How?

Couldn't hit the spur; getting tired. Can't stand longer.

Looks like it's going to lose.

- Did you like it? - Yes.

Last weeks fight was good too; but tonight was the best one.

Why did they want to separate them?

Dunno. Maybe they're afraid to go all the way;...

to see the end.

I don't smoke.

- What's your name? - Ekrem. What's yours?

Ahmet.

I came here last year; work at the ironmongers;...

It doesn't pay well but I'm learning craft.

- Don't you have anybody? - Have an old aunt, I'm staying with her.

- Will you go home now? - No. There's a karate movie at Saray...

would you come with me?

- Won't your aunt worry if you're late? - She won't, she's used to it; I have the key.

That's enough.

A month ago they screened the prequel.

- How old are you? - Just turned seventeen.

- How old are you? - Thirty... three.

- What do you do? - Running an hotel inherited from my grandfather.

- Very strange. - Wow!

Unbelievable bullshit.

Soda, pops. Soda.

Give me one.

I'm going.

Please don't go Ahmet; we'll go when it's done.

Open another one.

- Fruit flavour? - Fruit flavour.

This is the best theater.

- The movie was good, no? - Was good.

Where do you live Ahmet?

Close to station... a mansion with 14 rooms.

- Really? All the rooms are furnished? - Almost.

- How many people live in mansion? - I'm alone. There's also a woman;...

cleans the place, cooks.

Good night.

I'll look back after six steps; if he's there I'll call him.

One, two, three, four, five, six. Seven, eight, nine, ten.

Do you have room?

This is thirteenth night.

Can't believe it.

- Pss pss pss. - Come kitty kitty. Come, don't be scared.

How quickly. Did you forget, huh?

Go to hell.

Last year eight people stayed at the same date.

Hello.

I was wondering about the woman; is she sick?

- The woman, why? - It's been days since she last came shopping.

- Oh, yes. Went to her village; her uncle passed away. - Really?

Will stay for a month. If I need something I'll drop by.

OK, good day.

- How is Faruk Kececi related to you? - My uncle's son.

While she was staying with her uncle...

with her mother's request, she left. Yes, continue. It's asked...

She stated she escaped by her own will.

Why do you cry woman? I'll throw you out!

- What? What do you wait? - I brought these.

- What are those? - Daily registers. From hotel.

Leave it there.

- Where did we leave? - "She stated she escaped by her own free will."

- Do you have something to say? - I used to send these with paperboy;...

I'll bring them myself from now on.

Very well, bring.

- Hello; are you the hotel keeper? - Yes but the rooms are full.

- We're not to stay; Master sent us from the village. - The village? Which master?

- Did you hear it? Which master he asks. - I heard.

- Which master do you think? Master Baytar. Give the towel. - What towel?

Towel dammit. The women who is master's guest left here. Two weeks ago.

- Woman? What kind of woman? - Pretty woman...

She stayed here the night she arrived.

Indeed; thursday night. Is she at the village now?

No, she left. We took her to Motorlu Friday morning.

How this woman is related to Master?

- Did you hear it? How she's related he asks. - I heard.

That doesn't matter; you give the towel.

I didn't see no towel.

It's a towel with yellow red black patterns; she had told the master.

- I said I didn't see it. - Look, she doesn't lie.

- There's a woman who cleans the rooms. - Where's she? Show me the room the guest stayed.

Look at me. If try to do anything funny I won't be responsible for the outcome.

You said there was no towel.

- Should we beat this liar? - No; he's too weak.

Let's tie him to bed.

- There's a rope to dry clothes. - Go fetch it.

Did master baytar came to send woman away?

How could he? He fell from horse a month ago; broke the leg from two places. It's in a cast.

- Be quick dammit! - OK.

- Why did you lie down? - Feeling dizzy.

- You're scared; because we're going to tie you. - Not scared;...

you can tie anyways.

When you leave someone will come and untie me. By the evening military police would come to village.

You can't tell; you hid the towel.

I didn't know it was in the room.

Who would know if not you? You're the hotelkeeper.

True but I need to tell to the person who untie me how I got tied to here in the first place.

You don't even know us.

I'd say master Baytar sent them. Military police will find out.

Is that you?

Leave it. We'll get in trouble with this sod.

I told you, you couldn't tie me.

Goddamned. Let's go. You're tied up already.

Because you're coward. Coward!

Same towel...

Maybe she bought it from same place in Ankara.

I can't believe it.

So you're back.

Without dropping by.

Without staying here.

Anybody here?

Coming.

- Are you looking for me? - Are you hotelkeeper?

- Yes. - What were you doing inside?

Me? I cleaned the rooms.

- Isn't there a woman? - There is, she's on leave for for five days.

- Whatever. We came here to ask someone. - Go on.

A notive came from Ankara this morning; they're looking for someone.

Did he stay in the hotel nowadays?

Had a light green sweater. It's been a bit over two weeks. He came Friday morning...

stayed exactly one week.

- One week? - Yes. Wrote it down from his ID.

Mahmut Gorgun. It's not his name but he'd give a false ID.

18 October Friday. Good. What would he do here?

He'd sit at that chair mostly. Read his papers; every day a bunch of papers.

Close to noon he'd come down and go out for lunch; evenings too. I wrote all these into daily registers.

- What registers? - Police registers, sent to police station.

Ah, those. Nobody checks them at the station. They throw it away somewhere.

- But why would they make us write it? - Of course there's a reason.

- Cut the crap. It was him, right? - Yes. Retired officer.

He told he's retired officerş son of a bitch.

- Wasn't he? - When did he leave?

- Ten days ago, friday morning. - How was he while leaving?

He had the same clothes. Small leather case in hand...

He hadn't shaved that morning; looked sickly.

- Ok. Thank you. - Good day sir.

- What was his crime? - Trafficking woman to Africa'ya.

Strangled his own daughter.

- Deflowered his daughter? - I said strangled...

three days ago the building started to stink; concierge had told.

So you escaped.

Can you escape all the time?

Can one live in this worry always?

Worry of the unknown.

Suspect said, it was Fatma Kuruca mother of Ahmet Kuruca...

Fatma Kuruca started to scream shortly after she went upstairs, I got scared...

Fatma Kuruca was screaming in front of the door. Inside the bride was in the nuptial bed...

laying all naked. Her face crushed, covered with blood...

Her hair were dispersed in the pillow. Her chest was covered in blood too...

It's asked. Since I know both sides, to bring the proof of maidenhead after nuptial...

her mother was staying at groom's house...

in a room downstairs...

Prosecuter demanded that it's asked how she knows the suspect, whether he has disturbing behaviour...

and it's been asked...

she knows him well, that he's quite, hardworking person...

one evening he shouted on his mother because she didn't cook lentil soup...

and long while ago while his mother, was praying in the afternoon...

he approached from back and fired a cork gun right next to her ear...

thus distruptep her praying...

Witness Hasan Balcõ invited to court. Because he's suspect's uncle...

he's been told he don't have to swear, it's asked...

Monday night March 3, almost in the morning entry door got knocked...

When I got up to answer, I was surprised that it was my nephew...

Ahmet Kuruca...

that night after night praying we closed the nuptial and returned...

I asked what happened. He said I killed her; he was exhausted...

He had came from four hour distance by walking. Had very few money...

wanted money for escape, I said ok. I said rest a bit, I asked a lot but...

he wouldn't say why he killed her. But, he said he hit her with glass pitcher...

He laid down on the cushion. Then I sent my son to station. The military police came to seize him.

Verdict. Suspect Ahmet Kuruca...

is to be sent to forensics to determine whether he has full capacity and mental sanity...

and the hearing to be postponed to Monday November 4th.

Stand Up!

You don't have to.

- When did you leave the hospital? - Saturday.

- Report didn't arrive, do you have anything to say? - No your honor.

Will you still not tell why did you kill her?

They've cornered you.

Doctor said she was a maiden.

Her father said he didn't allow no male to approach her. Why did you kill her?

Her father? Her father had passed away long ago; he didn't know.

If you won't tell us it will be bad for you. Tell! Why did you kill her?

I don't know. Can't be without reason?

- Did she insult you? Hit you? - In the bed her eyes her mouth was open...

I covered her with comforter.

Write. Due to lack of forensics report...

court hearing is postponed to Thursday November 28th.

So it's November 28th of November.

Excuse me son. Do you have cigarettes?

I forgot mine at home.

Thank you. Are you outsider?

- Excuse me? - Are you outsider?

Today's work day, that's why I asked.

No I'm on leave; ends this sunday.

- Where do you work? - At the civil registry.

Very good. Mines didn't study.

The elder we didn't send him to school, so he learn father's craft;...

but I urged the younger a lot; he didn't study anyways.

Now they both sell leblebi. Who are you from?

Kececi family.

Really?

We heard after the fire they moved to Izmir, and the mansion became a hotel.

Then you... Faruk... Faruk Bey...

Pardon me, it's been told he hanged himself, I was surprised.

While he was nineteen he feel for a woman,

an unreachable woman...

Brunette, name's Semra...

We went to Fevziye School in our childhood...

He'd sit close to me in the class but never talks...

One day a skinny boy pushed him from behind...

then he suddenly turned and strangled him. Forcefully...

Strangled him? How? I didn't get it.

Suddenly he came and jumped over him, they fell.

He was strangling him with two hands...

We hardly pulled them apart.

Would he choke him if nobody interfered?

Who know? Excuse me, how is Faruk Bey related to you?

My uncle. I'm son of Hasim Bey's second daughter.

I know Hasim Bey. Was a handsome man.

- He must be dead by now, no? - Excuse me? Who you said?

- Hasim Bey. - Is he dead I said.

- Yes. Died in izmir. - His son Faruk is a doctor in istanbul.

- Our family buried here. - My big brother Hasan, my mom...

they both lie side by side there. Do you see the flowers?

Look better than others, right? I know the keeper.

- Did anybody hanged himself from your family? - Nobody.

- Any murderer? - No.

Somebody from our family choked his wife at nuptial night.

- Nuptial night? - Why?

He didn't tell the reason. In the court they had insisted but he didn't tell...

Maybe there was no reason. Or there was a bunch of reasons but he didn't know...

He got hanged in the end.

It's the mid-afternoon one. Pardon me, I bothered you...

Maybe we see each other again. Good bye.

Good bye sir.
