They say it's a blood feud.

This your big story then?

The military is involved.

After the kid was kidnapped,

they called for ransom...

...and the guy that called

was a commander.

Now this is something else.

What did you think? I meant it

when I said I had a big story.

Just be careful, don't let

it ruin your career.

Don't worry, but this is about

courage, not my career.

- Ok.

- Ok what?

- Why so angry?

- Let's see you get a story like this.

Here's the book, Frat...

Lokman, can I really

learn to type with this?

To be honest it didn't do me much good.

I had to develop my own techniques.

But maybe it'll help you.

Never mind him, Frat...

Him and his own techniques...

Do I type fast or not?

Tell me that!

You type with two fingers, pecking

like a chicken! You call that technique?

Unbelievable!

Come on everybody, let's

go, it's already late.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Frat, close and lock the

doors and windows, ok?

Don't forget to leave one of the

lights on when you go to bed.

Ok. Don't worry about

a thing, Mr. Hasan.

- Good night then.

- Good night.

- Faysal, come on.

- I'm coming.

Frat, come with me, my wife

made stuffed grape leaves.

I can't tonight Faysal,

I have things to do.

- What man?

- You always have me over.

Stay over with me tonight.

Ha! Are you going to drive a

wedge between me and my wife!

- Are you coming?

- No I can't.

Lock the door. Take

care of yourself, goodbye.

Ok, good night.

Hasan, where's our scholarly

boy, I haven't seen him.

We got the news tonight.

They got him on his way to the office

in the morning and threatened him.

- Oh God. How is he now?

- He didn't want to talk on the phone...

...but he said he couldn't see

anything because he was blindfolded.

He said that he was alright,

and not to worry about it.

TURKISH GRAMMAR:

One month later.

WORKERS MARCH FOR MORE RIGHTS.

Take those somewhere else.

- Why?

- Don't ask why.

- Come in. Welcome.

- Thank you, my son.

Dino has a newspaper stand

near the fish market.

Yesterday he got threatened

for selling our paper.

Kadir, I thought maybe

you could interview him?

Good idea, Frat.

Well, Dino...

...so tell me what happened.

Should I tell you in

Turkish or Kurdish?

Whichever you like.

I'll tell you in Turkish, it's more

official, don't you think, my son?

Fine, it's better in Turkish.

I opened my stand

just like every morning.

Just as I was opening the

newspapers, those bastards...

Dino, no bad language,

ok? No cursing.

Bastard is a curse then?

Faysal, phone for you.

- Who is it?

- He says you know them.

- Hello, Faysal speaking.

- Say goodbye to your friends, Faysal.

What? Who are you, man?
