The Ottoman Lieutenant Page #2
Well, I could.
It might be easier if I just show you.
Come on. You don't want to miss the most
beautiful mosque in Istanbul, do you?
Come on!
(CALL TO PRAYER)
Take off your shoes and cover your hair.
It's like being inside God's thoughts.
(SPEAKING IN TURKISH)
It appears our time inside
God's thoughts has come to an end.
Goodbye.
Thank you, Mr...?
Lieutenant Ismail Veli
When I'm not playing tour guide
Lillian Rowe.
Well... I hope your visit to my country
is a pleasant one, Miss Rowe.
Pleasant but brief.
There's a war coming.
MAN:
I'm sorry, Miss Rowe,but I can no longer guarantee delivery.
The Ottoman Empire may be entering
a state of war any day now.
Goods intended for the American missions
are being detained.
Your only choice is to return home.
I didn't come this far
just to turn around now.
There may be one way
in which you can obtain permission.
Yes?
You would need to find
a military escort.
ISMAIL:
Uncle, this is ridiculous.UNCLE:
The American girl requested youby name. Think of it as an opportunity.
An opportunity? This hospital
is in the middle of nowhere.
Once this war begins, Russia will try
to expand its borders into Anatolia.
The question is whether the Armenians
in the region will stand with the empire
or join the Russians against us.
Ah. So you want me to be a spy?
Let us be honest with each other.
Your name and your charm
have carried you this far.
But now it's time for you
to prove yourself.
All right.
(TRAIN WHISTLE)
I just don't know when I'll be back.
We'll see.
Lieutenant Veli.
I can't thank you enough for your help.
Actually, Miss Rowe, it's I
This is a great opportunity
to put aside my military career
and help you drag your boxes and your
ridiculous truck to the edge of nowhere.
(WOMEN CHATTER)
Lieutenant Veli.
I am sorry if this trip interferes
with your grand plans for yourself,
but given that your countrymen
are in desperate need of medical help,
you might think about their needs
instead of your own.
ISMAIL:
Erm...You can't be here.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Miss Rowe!
Miss Rowe! There are customs here.
You need to observe them
if you're going to get along.
Thank you, Lieutenant,
for pointing that...
(GASPS)
(TRAIN WHISTLE)
(HORSE NEIGHS)
- You shouldn't wander off.
- I'm perfectly fine.
Is that MountArarat where Noah landed?
Yes. We call it Ar Da.
Ar Da.
Noah and the Great Flood. Adam and Eve.
You know, it's also
part of the Islamic culture.
- Really?
- Hm-hm.
- Adam and Eve?
- Hm-hm.
