Original subtitles

Rana, do you remember the last time your husband left for the sea?

It wasn't as cold as today.

I'm frozen.

Why is this boat coming to our shore?

It's empty! There's no one inside.

No one?

Obviously.

Do you still believe that the sea will return your husband?

Someone is on the boat!

It can't be him.

My brothers didn't recognize him.

You despise me.

He died because of you.

You were a bad omen.

I didn't see him at first.

He was under the straw.

Don't you want to see him?

Maybe he has some news.

He's dead. Leave!

You can continue your pilgrimage.

Read a prayer for him, if you can.

Rana?

What do you want?

Tell him to give us balm and ointment.

Give them.

We have someone injured from the sea.

He's in a bad shape, but he's still alive.

Get up!

Thank God, you're not unconscious anymore.

Yes, you're alive!

Where is my boat?

So, your name is... Ayat.

Now, tell us what happened to you.

He's still confused.

You were injured.

You lost a lot of blood.

Don't you remember?

Something must have happened to you.

War and strife!

There must have been a war.

What's the point if he doesn't remember?

You don't remember, huh?

Tell me how I got here.

When you arrived, the weather was gloomy.

You came out of the fog.

Was I sleeping?

You were unconscious.

The boat had drifted.

The wind brought me here.

Either the wind or the waves.

Your wounds?

I was attacked. I remember that.

By whom?

I don't know.

This boat...

Isn't it yours?

My boat wasn't black.

The owner of the boat will come to get it.

I had to escape.

I was one against many.

What were they after?

If they come here, there will be trouble.

Yes, maybe they will come.

I imagine they will come for me.

Ayat!

Ayat, they've come for you!

It was a children's prank.

That's how children are.

I kept watch all night.

His behavior is suspicious.

He got out of his bed and went to the shore.

It seems he's waiting for something to happen.

When we're sleeping, he's awake.

When we're at work, where is he?

He'll get over it.

He's still trying to remember.

He's hiding something.

Look at him.

Maybe it's his friends he's waiting for.

Maybe this fire is a signal.

You're all panicking.

Please, don't say such things.

After all, he's our guest.

Tell everyone to keep an eye on their belongings.

I had a nightmare last night.

He's here to steal from us.

I will work.

I want to repay your kindness.

How?

I can work in the fields.

I know how to water a rice paddy.

What else?

I can fish.

No.

I can chop wood.

No.

I can build houses.

No.

I can cultivate barren land very quickly.

Just tell me where to start.

What else?

I don't know anything else.

Can you kill?

The scythe still has blood on it.

Look!

Why did you hide this from us?

This isn't mine!

No? Don't deny it, Ayat.

This woman found it in your boat.

Do you know who found this?

Sometimes she gives me food.

Elder, do you know the woman who found this scythe?

She doesn't smile.

No one has seen her smile since her husband disappeared.

Where are you running to, Ayat?

Do you know the woman who found this scythe?

Don't go near her.

She doesn't talk to anyone.

Ayat!

Did you find this scythe?

What were you doing on my boat?

Leave her alone.

I wasn't asking you.

She's my daughter-in-law.

Then ask her what business she had on my boat.

She frequently visits the shore to remember her husband.

You understand... don't you?

Last year, around this time, he was lost at sea.

They told me you don't smile.

Where did you find the scythe?

Yes, I know, "on my boat."

What do you have against me?

You can buy ten like this at the village market.

Do you like this one?

There are hundreds like it.

With the same mark?

Mark?

What mark?

This one is different.

There's a mark on it.

Look closely.

I haven't seen it before.

This mark is unique.

It looks like the owner's name has been engraved.

Or something like that.

I thought that maybe you would recognize it.

It doesn't look familiar at all.

No one has ever seen this mark before.

It's a number.

It's a design.

It's a name.

You can't read it.

It's not clear.

Maybe it's a code.

It gives me the creeps.

It's a bad omen.

Get rid of it.

Yeah, get rid of it now.

I buried it, but I can't get it out of my mind.

What was it?

The mark is the key to finding out who they are.

Still obsessed with that?

I have to know who they are!

She buried her husband's clothes there.

She didn't want him to have no grave.

They were crazy about each other.

I feel like you know something.

Leave me alone.

Tell me!

I'm crazy for listening to you.

Why didn't they find the scythe before you?

Why did you notice the mark?

Why? Why?

Don't shout.

I didn't shout.

Get out of my way.

I'm not in your way.

Okay, fine. Now I am.

Leave her alone.

Show her some respect.

She was the wife of the best fisherman.

Are you in love with her?

Watch your words!

Even if she is your daughter-in-law...

Do you understand what you're saying?

Everyone here is in love with her, even the women.

I repeat, there's no reason to wait.

No one's coming.

You're right.

They would have come by now.

You see, we've all been delirious.

We were worried for no reason.

No one was after you.

How foolish of me to want to leave this place!

Will you leave?

No. I like it here.

Wonderful, Ayat!

We want to build a bridge.

Come to me first thing in the morning.

We'll start from there.

Come here, Zackaria!

Ayat has decided to stay with us.

He will help with our project.

Really? I haven't decided what my opinion of him is.

Come on.

We need to clear up some things.

What did you say?

I don't want trouble.

Where do you want me?

Wait a minute!

They're right, Ayat.

You were our guest.

Now you want to settle down here.

This cannot be.

Please, understand us, we all know each other.

But you're a stranger.

You must leave this place.

It would be better for everyone.

If you decide to stay, you must marry.

Marry one of our daughters and become one of us.

If you don't want to, here is enough food for one week.

Take whichever road you want.

We will wish you good luck.

No one wants me.

Don't you understand?

You shouldn't trust me.

Who are you?

Don't you recognize me?

The one who always gets into trouble because of you.

Your problems have nothing to do with me.

Don't be afraid of me.

Who said I'm afraid?

I don't even know you.

I'll help you recognize me. Look!

It's me. Don't you see?

Now you know me.

Yes, you might not understand it, but you've gone nuts.

Will you repeat that, Ayat?

I want to stay here and become one of you.

I want to marry her.

Who?

I told you. Rana.

Me?

Why me?

Enough of this!

Sleep, my sweet. Sleep, my love.

Everyone get outside!

Rana smiled today! Finally!

She finally smiled.

You're wrong.

It's a bad omen.

Why can't you see it?

She brought bad luck to her husband.

Don't forget your husband!

His memory is still with you.

If you marry this stranger, it's like betraying your husband.

You are betraying his kindness.

Her husband was the best fisherman here.

Fishermen never stray too far from the shore.

But he sailed so far that the sea swallowed him.

The sound of the sea is his sound.

He watches you from the fog.

He will ruin your life.

What do you know about this stranger?

What if he leaves eventually?

Do you remember his boat?

That they were chasing him?

He's not here to stay!

No, that's not true.

I don't want bloodshed.

We have enough problems.

Don't you see that my brother went out to sea for all of us?

No one can replace him.

Everyone is against this marriage.

I am responsible for my life.

Do you mean you will marry me?

I didn't say that.

Why, Rana?

What is it that you lack?

If you need anything, I haven't died yet.

Why do you want to help me?

Why?

My brother's memory lives here.

His mementos, his cloak, his sword.

His child, our precious and only one.

We are worried about both of you.

Where were you then?

This is not a trial.

Your husband disappeared recently.

How can you forget him?

If you marry another man, you will kill your husband for the second time.

I didn't kill him.

He died for all of us.

We must respect his memory.

You should have respected him when he was alive.

Is this a trial here?

He hated all of you.

He committed suicide because of you.

Rana!

Leave her alone.

You swore an oath to him... for better or for worse.

I didn't agree to sacrifice myself.

You sacrificed him.

Now it's my turn.

I refuse.

You always talk back!

Leave her alone.

What did you say?

Would you trade the living for the dead?

Shut up, woman!

I won't keep silent.

Isn't it enough that you wasted my life?

I grew old.

Your "honor" made my hair turn white.

I withered.

Look at me!

She's still young.

Look at her!

Look! She is still alive.

She is still alive.

Don't listen to them!

Do whatever you like!

No one else knows your needs except you.

No one knows what it means to raise a child alone.

Let's go.

Everyone's going crazy around here.

I see trouble.

It's like everything is about to collapse.

Think about it, Rana.

We aren't finished yet.

What are you planning?

Be careful!

Don't think he won't react to this!

The scythe?

I work harder than everyone.

And yet, no one accepts me.

You are new.

You need to be tested.

What? Be tested?

What does this test involve?

How much alcohol can you drink?

I have no money.

You work for me. I'll lend you some.

Do you see that guy over there?

He is your opponent.

How about jousting?

The goal is to knock down the opponent's pole.

Will we play tug-of-war?

In the afternoon.

Quickly, you have to knock him down.

Pull! Pull!

That's not fair.

He broke the rules.

Now, bottoms up!

You seem happy, Ayat.

Did you forget so quickly?

Didn't you expect to see us?

Who are you?

Who were they?

Ask him!

Trust me, we didn't send anyone to chase you.

I wouldn't mind killing you, but not like this.

Who were they then?

Were they the ones you wanted to escape from?

I don't want to escape from anyone.

You said they were chasing you, right?

Maybe they're after the scythe.

That makes sense.

Doesn't it?

The scythe?

I'll tell you something.

Someone must have been following me.

Someone saw where I hid the scythe.

It wasn't where I left it.

Wasn't it?

Here we go again. God save us.

Now we have to fear night raids too.

Leave this place, and peace will return.

It's too late now.

I can't leave. You see?

Tonight I was defeated.

The scythe was stolen.

And I passed the tests.

You broke every rule.

I won.

Now I have someone who will be sad if I leave.

You are wanted.

You must leave.

That's not the main reason you're driving me away.

See?

We can't kill him.

These thugs are...

...part of your plan.

This is your idea, Zackaria.

You want to exile me.

Now, I'm not going to leave.

I won't leave!

They want to kill me!

They want to kill me, Rana!

I accept.

He accepted!

He accepted!

We won't allow it.

You were a guest, now you are a thief.

Leave this place.

Blood will be shed.

I made a mistake offering you work.

I can't abandon my kin for a stranger.

No one can abandon kin for a stranger.

Hi.

I can't stand to look at you.

Goodbye.

Let's run away together.

You'd better kidnap me.

I will.

It won't be easy.

I'll call for help.

You'll shout? That won't help.

How will I kidnap you then?

Honestly, there's no other way.

You're not taking this seriously.

Now I understand.

I wish I had never met you.

You won't take this seriously.

Where is he going?

He's going to hell...

See there? They kicked him out.

Are we close to Rana's house?

We've surrounded the area.

Is it possible that...

No. He doesn't have the guts.

Let's go!

Let's wait here.

If he shows up, his blood will be spilled.

Go back, Rana!

It's dangerous out here.

What's going on?

We'll wait here.

It's cold. Let's go inside.

No need.

Just give us some wood.

We are on the hunt.

Rana, it's dangerous.

Go inside and lock up.

Hurry up, Rana. Close it!

You lost, you leave.

Bring food. I'll revive the fire.

Bring something to keep us busy.

How are you, elder?

The dog looks weak.

Not much of a dog anymore, huh?

This house needs a young hunting dog.

Do you want to stay here?

You know what will happen if I go outside.

You will be responsible if you ask me to leave.

These scarves belonged to my husband.

And this sword too.

Is this his bed?

I had no one to send on my behalf.

So I came alone.

May it be blessed.

I came empty-handed.

Put your hand on the Book.

Take some sweets.

May it be blessed.

What did you bring?

Gaddam Heir is coming.

He brought dice.

Roll the dice!

Still here, elder?

Let me turn off the light.

No.

Let me do it.

No.

Father.

Father, don't get upset, but there's someone here.

You know who it is.

I know they'll find out, but we need some time.

May God forgive us all.

No trace of him?

No, I was awake all night.

Call for prayer.

Look!

He was here.

Look!

Something's happening here.

It's too late now.

Bring a wedding priest.

A priest?

Quickly!

There's no reason to kill him.

Ayat, two men are looking for you on the shore.

Why didn't they come here?

They said they would wait there.

Had you seen them before?

Look here, Rana. Look here.

He's going back to his boat.

We'll never know what secrets he has there.

Hello! Who's looking for me?

Why aren't you sleeping?

Who are they?

You tell me.

Did you really not recognize the mark on the scythe?

Don't worry.

There was no one there.

Maybe it was another prank.

You know how kids are.

What's going on?

There's a wolf in the village. Come on!

May you live long.

Come with us.

A boat is waiting for you on the shore.

Come with us.

Where are we going?

You were summoned.

Don't you remember?

Who summoned me?

Don't pretend you've forgotten.

The signs were everywhere.

You mean the scythe?

He has many fields.

He has many trees.

Many rivers and beaches.

The hills are his.

The orchards are his.

The four seasons are his.

He is there while you sleep.

What did I do?

Think! Think!

You should already know.

I don't know anything.

Neither do we. We follow orders.

Orders are not without reason.

There must be a reason.

Some mistake? Never.

You are the one that has to find out the reason.

Come with us.

I'm not coming! I want to live!

We will relay your answer.

Do you see this hut?

I'm no longer alone.

I take care of a woman and child.

That's your problem.

We're just delivering the message.

Listen to me! Listen to me!

Tell him...

I have some questions.

Where did you go?

Listen to me.

Why are you shouting?

Did you see the two men who were here?

Two men were here.

Stay where you are!

Why are you here?

Me?

Who else?

Tell me the truth.

You were following me.

You recognized me.

No.

They mustn't see me.

You've seen too much.

I didn't see anything.

You did.

I came to dig up my valuables and you saw me.

What's all this noise?

A wild animal is loose.

You are unlucky.

I'll kill you and they'll think you were devoured by this beast.

One less problem.

Do you have anyone to mourn you?

I don't even know you.

Silence!

Then you are the one I was looking for.

I'm new here.

Well, I won't kill you.

In return, you'll do something for me.

I need a messenger.

A message must be delivered.

On the other side of the river, there is a woman named Rana.

Tell her to come to the old bridge.

She won't meet you there.

You will also see for yourself.

Tell me who you are.

That's none of your business!

Say I am a man with broad shoulders.

She will understand when she sees me.

Is she in love with you?

She has no doubts about me.

You don't know her at all.

We just got married.

You make me laugh.

We are married!

I should have killed you.

We are married!

Do you know a man with broad shoulders?

A man with broad shoulders?

You were planning to run away with him.

What are you talking about?

I'll find out soon, Rana.

Very soon.

Come and see!

Come!

See what misfortune has befallen us!

My brother!

What happened?

The sea washed up Rana's husband.

This is not a good omen.

The sea washed him up after a year.

The man with broad shoulders.

Ayat, I'm not gloomy like you.

After all this...

After all this, they let me go to the funeral.

I had a lot of fun.

I cried a lot.

Sometimes, that's how it is...

Everyone abandons you.

Try not to get attached...

It's hard to cut ties.

Ok, you loved him. Am I supposed to be jealous?

The sea took him a year ago.

Look when it brought him back to us.

The day after our wedding.

It's a sign.

It isn't.

Why is everyone against us?

I'll say something and do listen to me.

Last night, I saw your husband alive.

You're lying!

"The man with broad shoulders."

I saw him. You had deified him.

You built him a grave.

But he was living in secret.

This whole story was a lie.

Did he ever send for you? No.

Maybe he was strong and tough, but he wasn't an honest man.

Why hide valuables?

He was carrying coins and pearls.

How many did he kill for them?

You are trying to ease your guilt.

I am mourning too.

Wherever we go, he will find us.

I had to do it. He wanted to take you.

I didn't want to fight. Believe me!

Aren't you listening to me?

Am I talking to a wall?

Wall, he attacked me!

He wasn't who you thought he was.

He lived in hiding because he was afraid.

Because he was afraid of the sea.

You're talking about your own fear.

No one will take you away from me.

He will always stand between us.

He is always in this house.

I see him wherever I look.

Damn it!

You can't make him disappear.

You won't succeed!

Okay, I know a way.

What are you doing? I am mourning.

The world is strange.

The sea washes up an empty boat on the shore.

At night, shadows emerge.

A hungry wolf roams the village.

The dead return.

Everything is falling apart.

How will all this end?

There is no salvation.

A grave awaited him.

Mourning is the only thing we have left.

Goodbye.

Ayat, is everyone avoiding you?

They say this place was peaceful, until you came...

...and turned everything upside down.

I'll leave if I bother you.

No, you don't bother me.

At least you have someone, Ayat.

And you have no one.

I know you are not happy.

Let's do something!

How can I make you happy?

How?

I want nothing.

We will be friends if I stay.

Let's shake hands.

What does your heart desire?

I don't know. Maybe a house.

Just that? Let's build it together.

Can you build a house?

I can build it quickly, before the rainy season.

Do you promise?

We will build it, if they let us.

If they let us?

Who?

My boat has disappeared.

My boat is gone.

My boat is gone.

The tide must have taken it.

Don't worry, that must be it.

You should have tied it up.

Why are you so worried?

What do you know, Rana?

They came to take me the other day.

This isn't normal.

No, they'll definitely come looking for me.

Any minute now.

They will send signs.

Just like the night the scythe disappeared.

I couldn't recognize them.

Those two men in the forest.

And now the boat.

It just vanished.

Poof, and it's gone.

Don't take it as a sign.

No one will come to take you.

He came for me.

Do you know him?

No, but he's definitely after me.

Let's get out of here.

You're paranoid.

What are you trying to escape from?

I just need to find out what they want.

Wait!

Maybe he's not after you.

Go hide in the crowd.

If he asks, we'll say you left.

You didn't just come to buy this.

Tell the truth! You came for me!

Didn't you find anything unusual about it?

There was nothing unusual, except for your reaction.

He won't be the last.

There will be others.

These signs have meanings.

You've become paranoid.

Me?

I was working all day in the fields.

So that this child can have a roof over his head.

And now, yet another sign.

A man I've never seen before.

And yet, he seemed familiar.

Who was he?

Someone who needed something from the market.

Is that all?

What else? Didn't you see that he didn't even notice you?

Yes.

But I'm bothered by the boat that was lost.

Isn't that strange?

I stole the boat.

I took it.

The sea took my man.

I was afraid that one day you would take the boat to leave.

And I buried it.

You see, it's all in your head.

Will you build me a hut?

We will start building it tomorrow.

Tomorrow already.

Come, let's make peace, Zackaria.

Past is past.

Now he is one of us.

No way am I making peace with him.

I'm going home.

There's no one like you.

Our troubles are over now.

You said it wouldn't rain.

It's getting ready for a sudden storm.

No, it won't rain soon.

Let's get out of here, Rana!

They're coming!

What are you talking about?

Look over there.

I'm not leaving.

Don't be foolish.

It's no longer my imagination.

Take a look.

Who says they're after you?

My boy, stop the drum and come down!

I have no doubt that they're after me!

Run for your life!

I'm not leaving without you.

I'm not coming.

Okay then.

What are you doing?

I dare you to set it on fire!

Where are you going, Ayat?

Did you see them?

Why do you think they're after you?

Maybe they're just travellers.

Ayat!

Run!

Run!

Wait!

They're coming for you.

I can't believe it.

Take this!

The boat is waiting, Ayat.

Where will you take me?

Into the fog.

You made them wait a long time.

No one dared to disobey.

You refused. You defied.

You rejected.

I came here wounded.

No one admits they were wrong.

Disobedience is futile.

Come now.

Where?

You know where, Ayat.

You just think you don't.

Think about it!

If you don't know, then why are you running?

I'm not going into the unknown.

He has stated his opinion.

The time has come.

It's over.

No.

It will never end.

They can return at any moment.

I need to see what's on the other side.

Why did he come? Why did he leave?
