What are you saying?

Your friends will praise you in their

paper after you're gone.

What are you talking about, you coward?

Who are you? You're rambling

on like some housewife?

Drop the innocent journalist act.

You don't know what you've done?

F*** off, a**hole!

Who was that?

The bastard didn't give his name.

- What does he want?

- He wants to scare us.

It's about that Yksekova

ransom story, isn't it?

What else could it be?

Faysal, your bravado

is going to kill me.

Take a break from

this ransom story.

Why? Just because that dishonorable

son of a b*tch threatened us?

Look at that man

who sells the paper.

If we are not as brave as he is, what

business do we have being here?

No one's asking

you to step back.

But the circumstances require

that we step carefully...

...we can't just act out

on our emotions.

We can't risk the lives of

our reporters.

Friends, from now on no one

goes after a story alone.

We come to work together in the morning

and leave the office together at night.

This is no joke.

They came together, chief. Now

they're coming and going together.

Adnan, we have to solve this right now.

Don't tell me we'll think of something.

I'll do my best, Hasan.

Our means are limited here.

Can't you find another

place to print the photos?

They'll work with us for 2 or 3

weeks then show us the door.

Now we have no other choice but

to develop our own photos.

But who can use the photo aggrandizer?

Do you know anyone?

- Kadir knows.

- How does he know?

What do you mean? Kadir

majored in communications.

They're taught how

to print photos.

Ok, all right. I'll work

this out as soon as possible.

By the way, how is Kadir?

Everything worked out ok?

He works hard, never complains.

Say hello for me.

I will.

See you then.

Ok, see you.

We're going to fix this photo

problem with an aggrandizer, Frat.

Who's that, Mr. Hasan, some

kind of wealthy landowner?

No no, an enlarger. A machine

that prints photos.

We're going to set up a dark room and

be done with this printing problem.

Let's see what

they can do now.

That doesn't even

cover my expenses.

What do you mean expenses,

you burning oil or something?

No, not oil, it's just my bread.

Ok ok. I'll give you 350.000.

No way,I can't take

a penny less than 400.000.

May your house burn down, or

at least fall apart. What about 380.000?

I won't take anything

less than 400.000

Uncle, you're as

stubborn as a donkey!

Uncle...

What is this thing?

An aggrandizer. We're going to

print photographs with it.

Are you a photographer?

No, I'm a journalist.

So you sell lies for money,

that's what you do, huh?

Why do you say that?
