THE TRIAL:

Does the media interest not prove

how right we are on our case?

Unfortunately, my client is under

doctor control due to the stress.

I want to draw attention to this.

The media's attention too.

The matter is important. The

defendant has a health problem.

He couldn't get an erection and enter

sexual intercourse with his wife...

...until the day he left home.

My client is still a virgin. This has

been proven by factual evidence.

Your honor, they are insulting

my manhood! Shame on you!

This girl... Yes, she's still a girl.

She divorced from her first husband

with the same reason.

Was he impotent too?

Your honor!

Order please!

Write down.

It is the order of this court...

...that the ex husband of the

plaintiff Nazan Korkmaz...

...Cavit Durak is listened to as

witness...

...and the case...

...postponed to 8.10.1999...

...10 o'clock.

Insulting his manhood? Bandit.

You should ask me.

Quiet mom or a fight will break out.

Let's remain calm.

The media wants to provoke a fight.

-Did you hear?

-I did.

Nazan, try not to talk much.

They're coming.

God damn them. They wasted

my girl. She couldn't live her youth.

Mrs. Nazan, a few questions?

Sure but short ones. You see

that she's pretty stressed out.

-Mrs. Nazan, will you perform?

-Ask my lawyer.

Maybe. There are proposals but

right now we're not considering.

Did you receive an offer

for TV serials?

There are many offers,

we're evaluating them.

Mrs. Nazan must first read the

scenarios and like them.

My daughter deserves everything.

I raised her like a flower but...

-...she has bad luck.

-Mom, cut it.

Are you thinking of

a third marriage?

Why shouldn't she?

She's still young.

Where's a suitable husband for her?

There's a shortage of men!

Thank you very much. We're gonna

have a press conference.

That mother of her..

I'm going to shoot her.

She screwed us. I'm going to

shoot both of them. Right here.

Don't be a child.

Their lawyer is guiding them.

That cunning bastard.

I'm going to shoot him too.

You know what bothers me most?

Cavit will hear these and

get overwhelmed with joy.

You get what you deserve.

Selami got divorced too.

Yet he's still pompous.

Look at that face.

You should have been man

and done your duty.

-Don't talk like that!

-To hell with your fish.

Did I say something wrong?

Shut up! What's it to you

with our manhood?

She left them.

Hope you'll recover.

What's that supposed to mean?

Am I ill?

They're here.

Can we ask some questions?

Dear friends, that's enough

for today. As you see...

...Mrs. Nazan is very tired.

She needs some rest.

Well, if it's a short one, why not?

Sevinc, who's that?

Her lawyer.

That's a handsome man.

They look very close.

Maybe she's done it with him.

Could be mom.

She's about to fall in him.

The TV people are here to.

They are famous now.

We'll always have close

contact with the press. Thanks.

Is it over Necla?

No way.

This has taken too long. The judge

decided to listen to Cavit...

...her ex husband.

Why don't you go and

tell everything?

Come in Mr. Rafet,

I'm sorry for the mess.

-Can I offer you a coffee?

-Yes I'd like to.

Soon you'll have everything.

Nazan will live in villas.

I hope so.

Idiot. Some get divorced from

their second husband.

You couldn't find even one.

Take this.

This thing has really worn you up.

Hope you'll get over with it soon.

-They are b*tches.

-Shut up.

Am I wrong?

We're full man.

Forget about being a man Enver!

Dilber Basak said ''I'm married for

Hey, old fart!

Are you joking?

What joke?

I'm just reading the paper.

To hell with your paper.

Get out of here.

-How can you dismiss customers?

-Customers like you I can throw out.

Get out!

Come on Mr. Rasim.

He's pissed off. Never mind.

Close the shop! I don't

want no customers.

We're closed today.

We have a funeral.

Turn off the TV.

Fresh fish! Fresh fish!

Your guy is coming.

Just a second.

Easy come.

Thanks.

-Did you hear?

-What happened?

The case is not closed.

To hell with that case.

What's it to us?

The judge wants to

listen to you.

Me? What does he

want from me?

-As witness.

-Witness?

What am I supposed to

say at court?

It's been 2 years since the divorce,

still I couldn't get rid of them

You're a grown man. Am I

supposed to tell you what to do?

There's someone from the TV

in the car. Wants to talk to you.

What does he want to talk about?

Just a small conversation.

They asked for it.

Welcome. Your picture has been

published in yesterdays Hurriyet.

-Have you seen it?

-What's there to see?

I'm embarrassed.

Close the door. Put the chain on.

Close the curtains.

Enough! Don't let anyone in.

I don't want any reporter

or journalist.

Turn off the TV.

There's the news.

I told you to turn it off.

From now on you

won't step out of the house.

We're leaving this neighborhood.

Don't be mad. How can you leave

the hood because of a girl?

Shut up! I gave my decision.

It's over.

We're going.

I have some misfortune.

I'm at the mercy of that Cavit prick.

What will Cavit tell the judge?

God damn him.

Let him tell whatever he likes.

Nothing will change the decision.

It will end in this session.

Hope so.

Filthy b*tch,

god knows what she's up to again.

Auntie, don't harass her.

She'll put on a fight.

Talk polite.

-What was I going to say?

-You forgot again?

-Witch.

In addition, her novel, Safer than Houses was nominated for the Duncan Lawrie Dagger in 2006.
