THE JOURNEY OF LOVE

Yunus, the son of Abdullah.

The Muslim judge of Nallihan.

You always do justice.

Old man.

Peace be with you.

And peace be upon you.

Where do you come from and where are you going like this?

I come from the road and I carry on the road.

That's for sure...

...then tell me.

My horse is dying of thirst.

Is there a spring to be found here?

Rains coming soon.

Old man, are you kidding me?

The weather was good.

How did you know that it's going to rain?

Son, I know it in my knees.

Whenever it looks like rain, my knees ache.

I thought you had worked a miracle.

Are there miracles beyond that?

Which miracle?

Are you not the one that makes it rain...

Perish the thought!

I'm not, but...

...the rain is that which makes my knees ache. Before it rains.

Here you are, my lord.

What's the damage, effendi?

A small sum is enough, my lord.

Thanks a lot.

Hey!

If you shout, you die.

Hey! Stop.

I hope nothing's wrong, my lord.

Someone who robbed Judge in town...

...intends to kill people.

But, I will find the thief sooner or later.

I'm going to bring him to justice.

Old man!

Peace be with you.

And peace be upon you.

We will meet again.

Well, that's the road.

A man who never gives up achieves success, but all the same...

...nobody gives up.

Well, don't you ask what happened to me?

Like where is my horse and why I am walking?

Does one need a reason to be walking?

Old man, I'm not accustomed to walk such a long way.

How could the road know whether...

...someone is riding a horse along it or walking?

If you give a promotion to a man who has seen madrasah...

...and educated himself...

...such conditions arise naturally.

I'm an old man. Master judge.

How I do know? I have never read the Quran nor...

...have I seen madrasah or a school.

Old man, you might be illiterate but...

...many people who are educated...

...cannot speak as you do.

I don't know.

Old man, not you...

...The bandits need to worry from now on.

Before I came into office...

...old man, I saw and encountered...

...such thinks that...

...I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

A lot of people going astray.

A thief stole everything from me...

...in the lodgings where I stayed.

My certificate of appointment...

...my inkwell...

...as well my fountain pen.

Go figure.

A thief, lost as they are...

...what could one want with an inkwell and fountain pen?

Old man, is this a joking matter?

A thief is a thief, the sinister is sinister.

I am not a past master of anything.

If I didn't treat everyone equally...

...that would be cruel towards the innocent.

How do the servants know who is innocent or who is cruel?

If you ask that the right way, however...

That is, towards God.

That's why no one who is not on the path of the righteous...

...is created.

Old man, you want to us fall prey to wolves by blowing out the fire?

You don't want to fall prey to wolves but...

...if the fire burns this venerable tree?

Then what will happen, son?

Hey!

Hey, you!

Hey! Stop.

Don't be scared, okay.

Killer!

Killer!

He ran away.

Don't worry, Master judge.

He has slipped through your finger but he can't run away from destiny.

But I saw his face.

I have kept it in my mind.

If you think that the man you saw is a killer, then destiny will find him.

I said that I saw him with my own eyes.

What If you had my lustreless eyes?

I can't even see the place where I grovelled.

It's stone or land, I know that much.

Old man, did you take Judge's side or the killer's?

I'm not taking Judge's side, nor the killer's.

I stand with justice.

This time...

...we are going our separate ways, really?

If you come to a crossroad, you know the righteous path is the one to take.

Tell me about it! I experienced it.

When I get there, I will start in on the case of this killer.

I hope that God makes your endeavours successful.

Amen.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you.

My Sheik, welcome!

My Sheikh, welcome!

Effendi, welcome. How was your trip?

Did you find a travel companion?

Yes, I did.

Was my companion an agreeable one?

In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful.

In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful.

Fortunately, he is the God of the universe.

Fortunately, he is the God of the universe.

He is compassionate and merciful.

He is compassionate and merciful.

What's done is done, the dead are dead.

What's done is done, the dead are dead.

What's done is done, the dead are dead.

What's done is done, the dead are dead.

What's done is done, the dead are dead.

What's done is done, the dead are dead.

Master judge, your flat is upstairs.

Judge Himmet Effendi, from Burdur, lived here before you.

Hasan Agha, thank you.

After morning prayer...

...you and your assistant are to be ready here.

Your wish is my command, Master judge.

Here you are. It's enough to burn candles.

We got everything ready for you.

Let me know If you need anything.

Thank you.

Have a good night.

Our business and...

...task is to...

...mete out justice.

Well, how do we mete out justice?

Whoever trucks with cruelty and...

...intends to strip folk of their goods and...

...of their dignity must know that...

...justice is against them.

The folk need to know that...

...everyone, including me, who commits an offence...

...will pay the penalty.

Everyone, including the kids who play games...

...in the streets of Nallihan should know that...

...justice doesn't come from Judge, it comes from sharia.

Officer Hasan.

Yes, Master judge.

Has the Ahi community been informed?

It has been, Master judge. They are ready when you want to visit.

Fine.

Take four functionaries with you.

What's going on the streets of Nallihan...

...let's have a look over here.

The Journey of Love.

That's the new Judge.

He is also young.

You are welcome to it.

Ahi-order...

Yunus, his Master judge...

...is here to maintain the order and safety of the community and...

...enact sharia from on now as Judge of Nallihan.

First, let us introduce ourselves...

...as heads of each Ahi.

Bayram, ironworker. I am the head of the Nallihan Ahi.

Azmi, weaver. I am the head of the weavers.

Husnu, herbalist.

I am the head of the herbalists.

Shahin, joiner. I am the head of the joiners.

Sahaf Izzet, bookseller and...

...Kurtalmish Agha, coppersmith,...

...who are not currently in your presence,

...went to Ankara to collect goods...

...Master judge.

These people who have come into your presence are our other Ahi tradesmen.

By the way, of yours truly: I am Ahi Mesut.

Incidentally, I am the chief of the Nallihan Ahi community.

Due to no acquired skill. No one wants this position.

I am also the head of the leather dealers around Nallihan.

They call me Debbag Mesut.

Aghas.

I don't know that what the procedure and protocol before me were.

I know justice...

...I just believe in it.

Now...

...if so much as a thorn pricks someone, and it is in Nallihan...

...the court will bring the thorn to book.

Tell me, what's your problem?

Have you a request for me?

The iron traders are having a hard time, Master judge.

The Iron Caravan, from port of Alaiye...

...was raided by some ne'er-do-well.

We have lagging in our taxes for two years now.

Our lord did away with tax receipts for the Mogus.

There is no such things as Mogus necessities.

Aghas...

...our business is not to gossip...

...nor engage in politics.

We haven't brought anything to Yabanlu for two years now, Master judge.

We don't have any goods to sell.

You will do your work...

...and we will do our duty from now on.

The issue of taxation will be discussed with the lord.

Your caravan, that which brings your goods, will be...

...provided with the utmost security.

Rest assured.

Thank you.

My foot is all blistered.

It aches.

You are lucky today, Master judge.

Doctor Mikel, his clinic is right there.

If you wish, he can examine you.

Be in peace, Mikel Effendi.

And peace upon you. You're welcome.

Master judge, Doctor Mikel Effendi.

We have been informed. I've seen Master judge.

Please sit there.

My foot is all blistered.

Let me see it, let me see it.

It is obvious that you are not accustomed to walking.

I am, I am but...

...I spent my life in the courtyard Karatay madrasah walking.

Ah! ah!

Kira, give me the resin ointment, daughter.

Okay.

Apply this ointment twice a day.

Bandage it up.

Be careful! Don't let it be touched by so much as sweat, even.

The wound is healed from the inside?

We are doctors, Master judge. We can just see the surface.

Only Sheikh Taptuk Emre can see the wound inside as well as the surface.

Catch him.

Catch him.

Run!

Catch him.

Go it!

-Go it! -Make way!

Catch him!

Make way.

Make way.

Make way! Out of the way.

-What happened? Who are they pursuing? -Is that Mimberci Hasan?

That's him. Who knows what offence he has committed?

Where did he go? He remains at large.

-What is he at fault for? -Ask him that when you catch him.

I know just the order.

Move.

-Did you see someone running? -I didn't, my lord.

-We are looking for a fugitive. -I don't know, my lord, I saw nobody.

Trumbler, stop!

Did I make a mistake, my lord?

No, you didn't.

Okay, you can pass away.

Move along!

May God bless you, my lord.

He got away from you, didn't he?

Find the killer.

Find him and bring him to justice, Officer.

Look all over Nallihan...

...and find the killer.

Your wish is my command, Master judge.

Do your work well.

Or...

...get another job, Officer.

Look everywhere, starting right now.

Is there something wrong, Hasan Agha?

Yes, there is, Bayram Agha, there is.

You thought that this is the tent of Mogul? You stroll in without permission.

There is no-one, my lord.

Hurry up! Look high and low at the bazaar.

Officer Hasan.

Mimberci Hasan, what has he done?

We'll find out.

We know only law and order, Bayram Agha .

Old man.

Peace be with you.

And peace be upon you.

Are you still walking?

What about you? You are the Muslim judge.

Haven't you got a horse?

Take a breath.

If I ask where do you come from and where are you going,...

...you say you come from the road and you are carrying on the road.

The ironmonger, I came here to repair my hammer.

Did you break the stones?

I am not so good at this, but...

...the ironmonger did a good job.

Our Ahi community is in good shape.

Doing your work well is as important as an honest living.

Our workmen are experts.

Well...

You didn't say you...

...still don't have a horse?

If I came up on you on horseback...

...I will take my leave walking.

I lived, I saw it.

One day, Moses...

...prayed and said...

...God, give me a companion...

...during suppertime,...

...noticing that there was not a drop of water in house.

It seemed like the water jugs were thirsty.

He grumbled as to who would go to the fountain.

A knock on the door. He opened it.

It was a dervish asking for alms.

Moses gave the water jugs to him and said to...

...fill them from the fountain.

The dervish filled them and brought back.

Moses gave a mite to him and sent off him.

Then he prayed and he begged..

...''God give me a fellow. ''

The godsend...

...sat next to him.

Hey Moses, how can we become your companions?

We saw that...

...you didn't give alms to a dervish, stranded and...

...helpless out there.

If you are looking for a companion...

...you must accommodate my desires now. ''

Yusha, his friend said that...

...to Moses.

Yusha was the prophet in those days but he couldn't adjudicate.

In those years, Moses could...

...adjudicate.

And Yusha said...

...that he knew about the might of the godsend.

That's why he is not fit to accompany him

...and he left.

So if anything happened to you...

...it didn't come from the fellow, it comes from the path.

I found the killer that I saw along the way.

But your assistant let him out.

You say that he certainly is the killer.

If I can't believe what I see...

...then what can I believe, old man?

Many things I believe cannot be seen with the eyes.

Especially with my lustreless eyes...

...which see even less.

Search everywhere.

I know that you are looking for Mimberci, but he is not here, Hasan Agha.

And so you know where is he?

No, my lord. How could I know that?

My workman won't allow me to leave the store.

I hope nothing is wrong, Aghas.

There is, Husnu Agha.

I don't know why you're going after Mimberci but he is not here.

It's obvious, Husnu Agha.

Dogan, Adem! Look everywhere, place by place.

Every place Mimberci Hasan could hide in...

...will be searched, throughout Nallihan.

Your wish is my command, agha.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you.

Well, then...

...we're not heading out after the trouble- maker...

...the predator and the killer.

Justice hasn't been served, ah?

You are a great Muslim judge.

Of course you will not learn these things from an old man, ignorant one.

But...

...justice doesn't mean looking for criminals...

...it means looking for the innocent.

Peace be with you, my lord.

Peace be upon you.

It's obvious that word of our duties...

...has gotten around in Nallihan.

Hey!

Hey, you!

If he is no killer then why did he run away?

He ran away because you kept on after him.

He ran away until I had passed the lake.

Don't worry, Master judge. He ran away from you but he can't run from destiny.

Master judge, please give me a divorce from that man, for God's sake.

I am tired of living.

I'm fed up with him beating me every day.

He says there is nothing on the table, he beats me.

He says you came to the field late, he beats me.

He drinks himself silly and beats me.

He beats me when he is angry. I'm fed up with this.

I beg you, Judge!

...I beg you, please. Save me from that guy, for God's sake.

Don't believe a word, Judge!

That woman is liar!

Who is not worn out by the struggle to make ends meet?

Who is not bothered?

Did you know that the drinks are not kosher? Man alive!

I will quit drinking.

I will quit drinking, my lord. I promise you.

Just so my marriage doesn't break down.

I promise that I quit drinking, as of today.

Judgement has been passed.

There are no reasons for divorce between the defendant and...

...the complainant. It has been decided to uphold the marriage between Ayshe,...

...the daughter of Munevver, and Numan, the son of Ali Yoruk.

Ah I beg you, Judge.

...for God's sake, don't leave me with that tyrant.

I beg you, please.

The things you did...

...flew in the face of justice and sharia.

Save me, Judge! I beg you, please save me.

Please, save me, Judge!

I beg you, save me.

Officer.

We looked high and low for him in Nallihan.

We couldn't find him.

But...

...we sent word everywhere.

It's only a matter of time...

...before l get news of his whereabouts.

I am looking for someone called Mimberci Hasan.

Seek and you shall find.

Yes, he is.

Maybe he will be found in your place.

Mimberci or Mihrapci, whoever you're looking for,...

...go somewhere else.

Do you know who I am?

We don't know.

Neither do I know what you are looking for.

Get out of my place.

You will learn who I am not later than tomorrow.

He has come?

He has, my lord.

In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful.

There you are.

Thank you.

Master judge, peace be with you.

Mesut Agha, peace be upon you.

You can guess why I called you here.

I can, Master judge.

Then tell me.

Who is Mimberci Hasan, where is he staying?

I have known him since he was little, Master judge.

He is our child.

He is an orphan.

His father martyred himself at Mount Kose fighting with the Mogul.

There is no way that he didn't kill anyone.

Mesut Agha, since when are the father's good works forgiven...

...for their son's sins?

Give me information, not provisions.

Far from it, Master judge.

Forgive me.

I just wanted to...

...let my feelings be known.

Then tell me, where is Mimberci. Where is he staying?

He is from the village of Beyobas.

He has a mother who is staying with him.

I got it, Mesut Agha.

That's enough.

I've tired you out.

You can leave.

Officer.

Yes, Master judge.

Take four trustworthy assistants with you.

Dress in civvies, we are going to the village of Beyobas.

Your wish is my command, Master judge.

By the way...

...don't breathe a word, even to your assistants.

These walls have ears.

Officer, I want the killer alive.

Your wish is my command, Master judge.

Search the house.

Dogan, Adem!

You, go the other side. Abdi, this way!

Son, is that you?

We are looking for him, mother.

I knew it. You are not my son.

There are many horses outside.

Have you come a long way?

And are your horses thirsty?

They are not, mother, no.

If you let me, I want to ask you a few question inside.

Sure, son, come in.

-Are you hungry, son? -I am not, mother, I am not.

I hope that God gives you more than ever.

We are looking for your son, Mimberci Hasan.

Why are you looking for my son?

I am the Judge of Nallihan.

I have just been appointed to the position.

What is the Judge of the government...

...doing in the house of a helpless woman like me?

As I told you...

...we are looking for your son.

Mother, your son killed two people.

Well, that's slander, Master judge, son.

My son couldn't kill anybody.

My fatherless child couldn't take someone's life.

The edict is not my doing.

It's a judicial matter.

Tell me.

Where is your son?

He is as straight as a die.

He is a God-fearing boy.

If you don't believe me, ask his Sheikh.

He has no designs of vagabondry or banditry.

Whenever he is not busy, he barely leaves the dervish's lodge.

Where is the dervish's lodge?

Who is his Sheikh?

Who is sheikh Taptuk Emre?

He is a well-known sheikh, my lord.

Do you know him?

There is no one who knows him around Nallihan.

A lot of people, including the tradesmen, have learned from him.

Where is the dervish's lodge, do you know?

The whole community knows the dervish's lodge in Nallihan, my lord.

That illiterate men built...

...a dervish's lodge so as they might...

...guide the people.

Oh dear!

Officer, we can go.

We are going to raid the dervish's lodge of Emre Taptuk.

Ali Taygu!

Yes, Kasim Agha.

Take him into the kitchen after everyone.

Whether you eat it all up or not.

Stop.

Thank you.

-Thank you very much. -God bless you.

Officer.

Call Taptuk Emre, right now!

Tell him to come here.

Didn't you hear me?

I said call him, right now!

They will inform him, my lord.

I hope nothing's wrong, Hasan Agha!

Master judge wants to ask a few questions.

Are you Sheik Taptuk Emre?

I am not.

I can only be dust in his shoes.

We called him here.

Where is he?

My sheikh has warned me.

It's not suitable to divide the invocation.

Very well.

A killer is hides in the dervish's lodge.

Bring him to justice, right now.

Mimberci Hasan.

Bring him to justice.

I said that our sheikh has warned us. Master judge!

I have no right to deliver anyone taking shelter in the dervish's...

...lodge even though he might....

...be doing so without his permission.

Officer, we will look for the dervish's lodge.

Master Judge,...

...look everywhere, now.

If anyone protests, fire him!

What's done is done, the dead are dead.

What's done is done, the dead are dead. What's done is done.

What's done is done, the dead are dead.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one.

God is the one and Muhammad is his prophet.

God is the one and Muhammad is his prophet.

God is the one and Muhammad is his prophet.

I killed no-one.

I didn't kill anyone.

I am no killer.

I am no killer.

I am no murderer.

I am no murderer.

I am no murderer.

Whoever falls into sin...

...will know that there is justice in Nallihan...

...from here on out.

Will know that the Judge of Seljuq is here!

Whoever thinks himself above the law will no longer...

...be condemned to the dungeon or death.

Hasan, I am going to examine Mimberci's case today.

Finish up the preparations.

Your wish is my command, Master judge.

-But... -I know, Officer, I know.

But...

...it's the not right time to deal with inheritance or financial cases.

God! Forgive me.

Help me.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

I repent.
