June 1899
Elifli Hamlet
Near Antep

You worked good, today.

You are Headman Mamo's son.

You will learn to be a headman and a shepherd in these mountains.

Dad, am I not going to attend the school anymore?

This is your school!

One day...

Even your home is going to be these mountains!

You are going to be careful...

..not to let this fire go out.

Otherwise, wolf won't be afraid and will come here.

You won't let wolves or jackals come near sheep or goats.

You're not going to sleep!

Are you going? Am I going to stay alone here?

Are you scared?

Stand like a man...

Do you understand?

When I stayed all alone in these mountains, I was younger than you!

Here! Under this sky!

You are going to guard the flock.

You stay, too...

You think I am your mother to entertain you?

Don't be afraid...

You'll do it.

If you leave the flock and come home...

This will be your last coming.

Black snake!

Karayilan (Black snake)...

November 1919
Town of Besni
Antep

British came to Antep...

It is eleven months now...

I don't know what they are going to do...

Yeah.. Drink it... Drink it...

Thanks Uncle...
Enjoy...

I wanted to be soldier like you... But, I couldn't...

Thank you.

Where is your owner, huh?

Where did they go, leaving you here?

I am sorry, sister...

Don't be afraid... I am not a bandit...

But, you tried to steal my horse.

I am not stealing your hourse.

I was looking at the broken wheel.

Yes, it is broken...

A piece of wheel came off while we were on our way...

Remzi Efendi went to look for it and he will be back soon.

Do you mind if I check it as well?

Ok.

You can check if you want.

Thank you.

Can I get my stick?

You never know...

Elvan! My girl!

Remzi Efendi is coming. Take it.

I couldn't find anything on the road.

- Are you alright?
- I am fine, Remzi Efendi.

This gentlemen repaired the wheel.

Thank you...

Health to your hands...

Your pray is enough, pop...

Let the rest stay in your belt...

Good bye.

Mom...

Mehmet...

Son...

Mom...

My Mehmet...

Brother, welcome...

Senol...

May your brother give his life for you...

You look like a lion... Lion...

Are you hungry?

No, mom, later... Let me sleep for a while...

- Do you want me to prepare the bath for you, abi?
- Come...

Later, let me sleep first...

Come...

Elvan...

Be at the dinner table after an hour.

What do you mean "We sat and talked?"

Why didn't you let me know right away that he returned home?

Dad, I swear, he came just now...

Ok, ok, shut up.

Mehmet, quite.

You are to blame actually... Move...

Where is he?

Inside, sleeping...

Has he eaten?

No...

He just fell asleep.

He won't wake up even if you fired a cannon...

Yes...

Just like his father...

It's not right to visit a cemetery so often...

I want you to end this.

Mom...

Your dad's death has been difficult for everybody in this house.

We all tried to handle our grief.

I am expecting the same effort from you, too.

It is 8 months now. Pull yourself together.

Your meal is getting cold.

I am not hungry! If you'll excuse me.

Thank you. I won't drink.

Welcome.

Thanks, dad.

Take a sit...

How are you?

I pray for your health, dad.

Thank you.

This is for you.

Boxwood, eh?

I saw the tree on my way.

I made it for you.

It looks like you didn't take good care of your vest.

Russian bullet.

It pierced through my vest and flesh.

I have been waiting for you return for a long time.

Mehmet...

Istanbul condemned us to the British...

The bandits who rely on the occupiers are on the mountains now.

Now, you are going to fight for you own land.

Dad...

I don't want to fight.

I laid down my arms.

It's over for me.

What else to do but fight?

Whatever I can do. I can be a shepherd.

Shepherd?

- At Sarikamis, I...
- It may be Sarikamis, but this is Antep!

The war finds you.

Elvan, what are you doing?

Come on, let's go the living room.

I am fine.

I am talking to my dad.

My girl, you are moving away from reality.

I still have things to talk with my Dad.

- Your dad is dead.
- But the man who killed him is still alive.

Mom...

If my dad had a son, would he be able stand without doing nothing?

No.

He would strangle and kill that Bozan bandit.

If he doesn't have a son but he has a daughter.

I am here.

I will do it.

I can't understand you anymore.

You don't need to, Mom.

You already forgot my dad.

Belkis Hanim?

Bring my drop.

So, you are going to Antep?

Yeah, I will go to Antep.

My dad called Selahattin Abi. He will come tonight, too.

- Our Selo?
- Yeah...

Fine.

Anush Ana?

How many years?

- It was difficult for even Karayilan, right?
- Yes, it was.

Come...

Praise be, you look like a young girl.

- Tell me, how are you?
- I am fine, how about you?

Probably, my Margos came back from war as well.

I saw the fountain on my way to here.

Our stonemason Margos...

You know, he can't do without mending it.

Where is he?

He came sometime very late at night.

Probably, he didn't see the fountain's situation.

He said "Come on Mayrik, let's go." and I said "I won't go."

He went to Antep...

Jackass...

Antep, eh?

He said "He'll wait until I change my mind." Then, he'll wait for a long time!

I lived through so many things, but I still stayed here.

Why should I leave now?

Just take it easy!

Jackass Englishman.

You are smiling without even understanding...

Soldier, my ass...

I thought that British confiscated everybody's arms. Looks like that man hid his rifle...

Aren't you the policeman of this country?

Are we going to get a permission from the British?

Istanbul ordered us to obey the British.

So, are we going to get round the houses for a place two steps away?

Yeah...

Torture...

Are you ok?

- Mom
-Elvan

I am sorry for the last night.

I may have crossed the line...

Elvan, I came here to make an agreement with you.

I want only one day from you.

We are going to forget the bad memories of the past...

and we are going to spend nice time together.

In old days, Mom and daughter, we had so much fun.

I missed those days very much. Didn't you miss them at all?

I did.

Then, first we will have a breakfast and then do the thing we loved most.

Ok...

Peace be with you...

Peace be upon you.

Master...

How much do you want to repair the thing on my foot?

These are useless, anymore...

It doesn't even hold the stitch... It will quit on me... Look at this thing...

Aren't you a master?

I asked and people showed you, I am sure you will find a solution.

I can't find a solution for this.

This needs Jesus' miracle, my son...

How much are these?

5 mecidiyes...

What?!

Are you trying to rip me off, you dirty infidel!

Don't defame Master Artin's yemenis.
(Translator's Note: Yemeni is a kind of rawhide sandal.)

How are you Master Artin?

Thank you.

Peace be with you.

- Peace be upon you.
- Peace be upon you.

What's going on?

Agha, If I were in Nizip, I would pay only 2 mecidiyes for the yemeni.
(Translator's note: Agha means "Big brother or master" and is used for showing respect to elders)

Well...

These Yemenis take you to Nizip and bring you back here at least 10 times.

I think I know you, but...

I am Mamo's son from the village of Elifli.

Oh, Mehmet...

I couldn't recognize you...

Weren't you a soldier?

I just came back...

Come, Mehmet... Let's offer you a coffee... Come...

- Welcome, come...
- Ok, let's drink.

Pisst! Hey! Hey!

- Do you have money?
- No, I don't.

So, why are you here? Go and find some money...

Go on!

Find money? As if they are doling money in the streets...

Are we really going to have sew the first dress?

Mom...

I thought you didn't like that I rode a horse.

Of course, I don't like it. I bare it just because of you.

Cemile, use this fabric for Elvan's night dress.

And, that's for my sake.

This is all set Belkis Hanim. Please check this one and that one. These two fabrics are totally unrelated.

Just like my daughter, Cemile.

One side is a princess, and the other side is a boy...

Yes, Aram Efendi...

Master Faik, the commander wants a coffee.

This is my last 50 dirhem, Aram...

Nebahat Hanim wants it and I promised her.

Give us what you promised to her.

I promised, I can't.

We ordered and hopefully, will have it next week.

What are you talking about?

Didn't you hear me? I said the British commander...

The soldiers are right there...

If Master Faik said that there was no coffee, then it means there is no coffee.

Aram Efendi...

Don't interfere Mehmet.

Take the British and leave.

The commander says that he is in a hurry and can't deal with this right now.

Does he?

Don't think that I didn't understand what he said because I don't know the English language.

Sometimes tongue doesn't tell the truth all time; but, face always tells the truth, right?

Have a good day.

Is Margos here?

Margos?

Yeah...

I've never seen him after his first visit here...

So, he comes Antep, but doesn't even see his Master, eh?

You can ask Sona, as well, if you want to...

He always stops by Sona.

Is Sona in Antep?

Mehmet!...

Hello, Sona.

Come inside.

I... In fact...

... just wanted to ask how you were.

I won't let you go. Come on, come inside.

Come on...

Please sit...

The house didn't change much.

Yes...

It is as we left it.

We went to Istanbul with a couple of luggages anyways...

My father didn't want to take the furniture with us.

Is your father ok?

They are very healthy... My mother as well...

They didn't want to leave Istanbul.

Only I came back.

Do you want some lemonade?

Yes, I do.

You will add mint, too, right?

Of course, I will.

Are you alright?

If I could hold the tray straight, it wouldn't fall down.

It will only fall down on the tray.

I love these glasses.

They are the plainest ones...

They are broken now...

Even this morning, I didn't know if you were still alive.

Anyways... You are here now.

I saw you again...

And I saw you.

And you haven't changed at all.

Why don't you just say "you are old."?!

Yeah... Your hands are decrepit now(!)

I came here a year ago.

British found me from the school in Istanbul.

They had learned that I was from here.

They wanted me to come with them.

I am working as a translator.

I teach Turkish to the commanders.

Health to your hands. This is delicious.

Enjoy.

When I heard that you were in Antep...

I thought only Sona could know where Margos was.

Margos...

He stopped by here after he returned from his military service.

He was talking about leaving here.

He was seriously thinking about it.

He may be in Damascus.

Damascus, eh?

He said so.

If you'll excuse me...

I will stop by a couple of places in downtown and then I will go back to the village.

Come again...

I am here anymore.

I will... Have a good day.

Nowadays, young girls in Istanbul are also wearing these kinds of clothes and riding horses.

Did you have these when you were young, Belkis Hanim?

Of course...

Back then, we went to the island every summer.

I remember girls riding horses.

The island's weather is very beautiful.

- You can finish this today, right?
- For now, it is ok.

You can take it off.

Such an interesting motif.

I've never seen one like this.

- What is this?
- It is beautiful, isn't it?

They brought this from a village.

Village girls were embroidering these and they call it "Blacksnake."

Karayilan?

As they say, Karayilan was around 16 years of age...

You know the bandit Bozan?

He didn't allow him to enter the village.

They tell that he also scarred his face.

What happened to Karayilan?

Where is his village?

Elvan, you need to go to Doctor Osman.

I don't understand.

I took my last pill last night, you need to buy a new one.

I thought we would go together.

Would you please go right now?

Osman Abi, I am here...

I am here to see Doctor Bey.

He went to see a patient.

He will be here soon. Come in.

Have we met before?

No, we haven't.

I am Mehmet.

I am Elvan...

Are you ill?

I have a headache.

I hit my head.

Yesterday.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you.

Elvan, welcome.

Thank you, Osman Abi.

- So, you met Mehmet.
- Yes, I did.

He is my old friend.

He was far away for years.

He just came back.

Elvan's Dad was a very respected and precious person.

Elvan grew up around us.

Actually, my mother's medicine finished. I am here because of that.

Let me check if we have it.

So, you just came back.

Yeah...

What do you think about the city?

It has changed.

It is not the same as before I left.

Unfortunately, Elvan.

British controls the ingredients of the medicine.

I can make it ready only by tomorrow.

Ok, then... I'll stop by again tomorrow.

Please tell my regards to Belkis Hanim.

I will. Have a nice day.

Our meetings are secret.

There are notables, civil servants, and merchants with different ideas...

Community's prominent figures...

We must be careful.

When I think about men in the suit just like you going underground...

You need to expand the limit of your imagination.

Add yourself, too. Come into our meetings...

We don't have anybody among us from villages or tribes.

We may need your knowledge and experience.

I mean for total fight.

What am I telling to a person just returned from a war...

...without even getting rid of the load of all those 7 years of fight.

I am sorry, Mehmet.

This coffee got cold. Order another hot one.

Dark...

Tall...

But, if he is a friend of Doctor Osman, he must be old.

No, he is young.

Mehmet Bey is younger.

I almost forgot...

I heard something magnificent today.

Tailor Cemile Abla...

...told me about a person who knocked the bandit Bozan off his feet.

- And his name is Karayilan.
- Karayilan?

His name suggests that he is a brave man.

And they say nobody can stand agains the bandit Bozan...

And he stood against him when he was just 16 years old.

How does he look like? Tall?

A villager...

Asiye...

You still didn't get what's my problem is?

I say only Karayilan can knock this bandit off his feet.

Ok, I say the same thing.

Would it be bad if he was brave and, at the same time, handsome?

Ohhh, I got it...

You are thinking Mehmet Bey, and that's why you are pulling a face.

Maybe he will come to the tomorrow's party as well.

If he is someone prominent...

What party?

Asiye, untie this!

Welcome.

Thank you. You, too.

Yakup!

A gift to you from your friend.

Its name is Ayaz.

Thank you Selahattin. I am overwhelmed.

Ayaz, eh?

Praise be...

Come on...

Dinner table is waiting for you...

Come on, let's eat.

Selahattin thought me how to ride a horse.

We were exercising to change the horses while riding side by side on the field.

- Right, dad?
- While riding?

Yeah... while galloping...

When Selahattin said "Ok", I was jumping to his horse and he was jumping to mine.

And I...

... learned the details of sharpshooting from him.

If I came back alive from the war...

It was because of him...

Tell them this...

What?

You remember that goat got stuck on the top of Yalikaya...

Your brother and I...

climbed next to the goat.

The goat got down the hill with our help but...

this time we couldn't get down.

In the middle of the night, Mamo Agha came and found us.

And he gave us a lesson by beating us.

You won't climb the place where you can't get down.

It is a party that Dr. Shepard is throwing.

The British Colonel.

I thought you would like to come as well.

Well, you are wrong, Mom!

But, I promised for both of us.

My dad never went to the parties thrown by British and he would never go if he was alive.

- And if he was alive, you...
- One day!

I wanted just one day from you, Elvan.

Just like our old sweet days...

My whole efforts were for this.

But now I see that you considered even one day to be too much for us.

Selahattin, Ayaz is a nice gift.

But, I can't accept it.

What?

You gave me this horse...

to make me gird on and fight like you do...

As my father said...

I said I would fight arm to arm with Mehmet, Karayilan whom I ran after goats on the mountains.

I know war, Selahattin...

Sarikamis...

It was bad, eh?

We couldn't wash our faces for months...

We had been infested with lice.

Lice, ....

to protect themselves from the cold...

...had nested under people's scalp...

Our many friends...

...got crazy because they scraped their heads with their nails...

Thousands of friends...

...without even seeing one single Russian soldier...

died because of cold and hunger.

Then, they told us that the war ended.

You...

were my best friend, Mehmet.

With or without fighting...

You are still my best friend.

And here... This is your horse, Ayaz.

Goodbye...

Didn't you tell Selahattin?

Didn't you tell him that you will lead the youth in your village?

I raised you as a brave man...

I thought you how to be a fighter!

Your Karayilan doesn't want to fight anymore, dad.

I will go to the places where you left me when I was a child...

To the mountains...

Peace be with you.

And?

I want to buy a weapon.

I don't have any weapon.

But, I just saw you. You sold a weapon to a man at the back street.

Get this into your head!

I am not selling weapons and you didn't see it.

Look, if you tell this to the British, I swear I'll kill you.

Agha... How can I tell this to the British? I want the weapon to fire it at British...

What's your name?

Halim.

But they call me Nizipli.

So, you are from Nizip.

Yeah...

Do you have money?

Here...

What? Why do you laugh? Isn't it enough?

You can't buy even an underwear for your ass with this money.

Bye.

So, are you saying that Mehmet will lead the youth?

I raised him for these days.

They say that Karayilan is not the same old Karayilan anymore.

He doesn't want to fight...

Do you believe what you've heard or your headman?

We mean...

If we don't have Mehmet, we have Siro... He is also our headman's son.

Mehmet's silence is because he knows his duty.

Don't worry!

Get a move on, Memo Agha... They say that there are many signs before all hell break loose.

Come here. Don't run away... Come... Come... Come here.

Don't run away! Come!

Come here!

Catch the black lamb, first.

If you catch the black lamb, the rest will follow it!

What kind of kaval is it?

It isn't a kaval. It is a duduk...

- Kaval
- Duduk

I have the same thing. It is a kaval.

Blow and see... How could be this a kaval?

Now, I get it... You don't know kaval, either.

My uncle don't allow me touch it.

It can be yours. I have another one.

Hey! What's your name?

Margos!

Margos...

Mehmet!

How are you?

I'm fine. You?

Fine...

So, you repaired the fountain.

How do you know that I did it?

Who knows who did it...

Am I the only one who dress stone?

Who else but you would repair our village's fountain?

You said it well, Mehmet... You are right...

It's your village's fountain.

It's not mine.

It has nothing to do with me.

What do you mean it has nothing to do with you?

Didn't we do the water conduit together?

Eh?

Didn't you make its stones?

Don't you remember?

When water started flowing the fountain, didn't we get happy together?

Yes, we did...

Yes, we did, but...

A lot of water flowed and gone from those fountains
(Translator's Note: He means water it is all under the bridge now)

I am not the old Margos anymore.

I am not.

Grandsire, I thought I would have peace when I came back to my home...

But, now I see that everything is nested in each other.

My past and present are all tangled up.

Your true life...

is the one in which you are.

Leave the past behind, first...

The world is destroyed.

And it is came crashing down around you, too...

But, now

You will care what you see now...

I don't understand what I see.

Because...

You only laid down your weapon.

Unless the war in your heart doesn't end...

The war doesn't end.

Is there any way to end it?

You think all my years in this convent are is for nothing?

You will find the way...

...on your own...

If you turn your back to the sun...

You won't see nothing but your shadow.

First, you will hear everybody...

Go to tonight's meeting.

Hear what everbody say and...

... and see every path there...

Be patient, son.

Be patient so that...

...you won't sow a barren soil.

They say that this party is in honor of British Colonel but...

I think Mr. Shepard want to have fun...

Colonel is just an excuse...

May be you will have more fun than you expected...

I don't think so.

Come in.

What's up Huseyin?

Thanks for the medicine.

Have a good day.

Grandsire sent you a message...

Karayilan will attend tonight's meeting, too.

Karayilan...

The meeting is at nine o'clock. Go, tell him.

Agha... Anything you say... I am jack of all trades...

How many time should I tell you? There is no job... Go away!

Ok, ok, I got it...

Aren't you ready yet?

I told you that I wouldn't go.

Look, Elvan, we are prominent people in this city.

And these parties are very important in society.

There are more important meetings...

People who are against the occupation are coming together.

Where are these meetings?

I don't know.

How would I know?

Wear this.

You are coming with me.

Please give up your frowning attitude...

You want me to wear a fake smile like those people, is that so?

Belkis Hanim, good evening.

Hello Ms. Sona, how nice to see you...

We won't be able to see each other if there weren't such parties.

Our door is always open to you, you know that.

Thank you.

Elvan, right?

Huh? Yes...

Elvan! What is this clumsiness?

It's my fault... I wasn't very careful.

Your dress is stained.

I think Ms. Elvan won't be able to stay for the party.

Ms. Sona is right. You can't stay here like this. You are going home now.

Remzi Efendi has been waiting in the carriage.

Thank you.

Why are you laughing?

I remember our first lesson; it took quite some time to teach you how to say "Thank you."

But, you are very good now.

Thank you...

Colonel...

Hello...

British and Americans... Their purpose is to completely occupy the East.

They want to get hold of these fertile land and then the petrol...

Gentlemen, British has been here for 11 months.

Who did suffer because of them?

It is not a coincidence that Europeans are so advanced in industrialization and economics...

We can benefit from this and advance...

- Mehmet Bey
- Elvan Hanim...

What's going on?

Did you call her?

Elvan! What are you doing here?

I want to join the meeting, too.

How did you come here?

I followed you.

I am following you since you left the house.

You will immediately go back to your home.

- I won't.
- Elvan, you are making this difficult for me.

Osman Abi...

If my dad was alive, he would be invited to this meeting, wouldn't he?

I am the only person who can represent him.

Please...

- You always say that I am like my father, don't you?
- Yes.

And you are as stubborn as he was.

Let me talk to the folks inside.

Let's see what they are going to say.

You were tonight's only guest, Karayilan.

Karayilan?

You call me Mehmet...

We run across each other for the second time, Mehmet Bey.

Actually, this is the third...

Third?

The first one is the time when we met at the mountain road.

You hit my head with a stick.

I am that bandit.

Is the order that British brought so bad? Eh?

See the article on the newspaper...

- [The British...]
- As we talked...

Don't say a thing...

Because the security is provided, the trade has been increased.

What about hour honor? Is that increased as our trade, too?

- I have somethings to say, too!
- Elvan!

Aren't women concerned about the situation of the city, as well?

Are the men only ones who complain about the occupation?

When you say the situation like this...

We should recognize Elvan Hanim, as well...

Excuse me, but...

I don't understand what is so good about the British?

They don't do anything about the bandits who attack the villages and kill people.

All of our young people are like Elvan Hanim...

They are determined to kick out the British...

They plan an action to protest the British every chance they get.

The occupiers will not bring an order here...

They will start brinkmanship sooner or later to intimidate the people.

Nothing like that happened until now.

How do you know it is not going to happen later?

Belkis Hanim, where is your daughter? I didn't see her.

There was a little accident and she had to go home.

Who are they?

They are wearing French uniform, aren't they?

French?

I don't care about the politics!

There is only one solution...

Young or old, we should arm!

Muhsin...

Maybe this is what occupiers want us to do...

Come on, Mehmet Bey! I say occupiers will cease to exist...

We will arm and kill anybody we see...

This first bullet you fire will play into their hands...

It will legitimize their use of violence.

We have to be very careful on our actions.

Let's see what Mustafa Kemal will say...

Karayilan, please, tell something.

Shouldn't we arm and kill them?

- You know the war.
- Yes, I know.

And that's why I agree with Ahmet Muhtar.

We have to act thoughtfully.

Mehmet Bey, I am saying the same thing...

It is very possible to establish a prosperous future with British.

Therefore, the best thing for our situation is...

to adhere to the West...

- And the direct....
- Your fancy words don't mean anything to me, Irfan Bey.

I see that Ahmet Muhtar is alone about what he thinks.

Thanks for your invitation.

But, I think I don't belong here.

Have a good night.

Maybe, our discussions are pointless...

How do we know that the British won't leave our city soon?

I don't think so Tahsin Bey.

On the contrary...

I am worried that it will be worse soon.

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to make a small announcement.

The reason that we've organized this beautiful evening is in order to say goodbye to our dear friend the Colonel.

As a result of an agreement made between the British and the French governments...

From now on, our city will be under the control of French.

On behalf of myself and you, I would like to thank the Colonel for the friendship he has given us.

How can a man like you behave like this?

I've heard about you before I knew you.

They told me how you stood against the bandits and...

...how brave man you were...

Don't you see? You have an obligation to this as well...

Mehmet Bey, you have to fight!

Do you know anything about fighting?

You don't know anything, do you?

I don't know how to fight but...

But I know that people like you are called "coward!"

Mehmet Bey...

The British is leaving and the French is coming...

How could they hide such an important subject until the last minute.

It is probably in order to prevent the resistance.

Have a good evening!

Good evening...

It is a really beautiful party.

Yes, the Americans organize such events really well.

He says it is a nice party.

What's his name?

My name is Antoine Laros, madam...

I am here because...

... I speak Turkish very well, Ms. Sona...

I don't remember that I told you my name.

May we dance?

Gladly...

If you'll excuse us...

I know about you, of course...

Really? What do you know?

I know that you are a good translator...

and you dance very well.Surprising!

So, I am not the only one who is surprised.

Calm down! Calm down!

Nothing important... Just a stone...

A couple of rouges!

Don't worry... The British soldiers will handle it.

I hope so.

Run! Run! What are you looking at? Run!

Agha, it's you...

Go now!

Go on...

Come on, move!

Move!

- You immediately brought Elvan to home, right Remzi Efendi?
- As soon as you told me, ma'am...

Asiye, hurry up!

Oh God! I can't unhook this clasp!

So, you are back...

You are still awake...

The book is very exciting...

What did you do? How was the party?

Good...

Tomorrow, the French will take over Antep from the British...

I am going to bed.

You go to sleep, too...

Sleep tight...

You, too, mother...

What's up? Are you going somewhere?

No...

Weren't you out enough tonight?

I don't understand.

It is obvious from the mud on your skirt...

Do you go to those secret meetings you were mentioning?

Mother, I made them up.

I got out of the house...

to stroll around...

I couldn't tell you, thinking that you would get mad at me.

Don't you even think about going out of this house tonight.

I will keep an ear to the ground!

Come in!

Doctor Bey, there is someone outside, saying that she has an urgent patient.

What are you saying?

Is it certain?

Tomorrow, this city will be under the control of the French.

What a pity!

Mother Anush...

What gives? You are still awake...

Are you alright?

I went to Antep today.

I found Margos...

- He told me that...
- A while back..

A while back...

They told me "Anush, you have to leave here."

I couldn't.

Your mother Ayse stopped me.

These feet didn't see any other place...

They were born here, Mehmet...

If you told them to walk, they wouldn't walk...

My feet are just like me...

But, it is time now.

I have to leave...

I have to leave here...

Do you hear me?

Agha, welcome...

Have a good evening...

You will always keep the fire burning.

Wolves, jackals... They always look for the fire...

They wait it to die down...

So that the darkness will hide them...

...and encourage them...

You will always keep the fire burning.

You, too... Me, too...

I went to Mother Anush...

I am coming from her house.

You go inside.

Stay Siro...

You are his father and I am his big brother.

And let him here what we are going to talk.

Anush said that she would leave the village.

She is not one of us.

They are not one of us.

All of us believe the same God, Dad...

We live on the same land.

If not today, then tomorrow, if not tomorrow, then the next day... They will support the enemy.

I know that they will stand against us with their weapons...

Not people like Anush.. Dad...

They all are the same.

- The innocent and the guilty are not the same...
- They all are the same!

In war, there is you and the enemy!

You will know which side you are on!

You will draw the line! Either you are on this side or the other!

You will be on this side!

What will you do, if I don't, dad?

Are you going to take my soul?

Your name...

I will take the name that I gave you...

I swear...

If you don't do what I say, you are not my son "Karayilan."

What's going on?

Master Artin, come... This is our day.

I don't want to come with you... I will go back!

Come on...

Long live France!

Long live France!

The French is taking over the city from the British.

Who is giving what? Who did they ask?

Of course, they are not going to ask us...

Ottoman signed it.
(Translator's Note: They mean the Ottoman Sultan)

The truce... The truce...

The French is taking over here, and the British is taking over Mosul.

So, we became their toys...

All of us...

Come here Mehmet...

What's wrong Mom?

There was a message from the city...

Your dad, without even I got a chance to ask where he is going, he girded up and left in great haste!

The messenger was Bilo's man... He said that the French came to Antep.

With their soldiers and arms...

- Let's go
- I am coming Agha...

- Gentlemen!
- Yes, sir!

We are here to govern this city on behalf of Republic of France...

Government of France, and the French Army.

Yes, Sir!

and to show our authority...

Yes, sir!

Now, do what is necessary!

Yes, sir!

Bilo, is it true?

Is it true that the French will take over the city.

They already did, Mamo Agha...

The British signed the papers...

Isn't there a brave man in this city who will make them swallow that paper?

Getting angry is no use...

We don't have arms...

We sent our men to the four winds... Let's wait their news... Come and take a sit and rest.

- Long live France!
- We will get our rights!

You go to the direction of the post office, I will go to the direction of the market...We will meet ahead...

Ok, Agha...

Siro, We will find Dad and go back to the village. That's all.

Sergeant...

Have them haul down the flag...

Yes, Captain!

It is the order of General Staff.

Yes, Captain!

Let's go.

It is not time to wait...

Now, it is not time to wait...

Agha, we will wait and see and then we will fight them.

Uncle Bilo... Uncle Bilo... The flag...

At Akyol...

They are hauling down the flag at the mosque.

It is the French's order...

Agha, stop! Wait!

You stop! You wait!

For whatever you are going to wait...

This handover in line with the Skyes-Picot agreement between the victorious armies of the Republic of France and the United Kingdom will be very meaningful for our nations' future.

The French is hauling down our flag!

[They are protesting]

DAD!

DAD! DAD!

DAD!

DAD!

DAD!
