All language subtitles for Sleep Of The Crow (Tunahan Kurt, 2023)

SLEEP OF THE CROW

We are on the way.
Where are you?

At Mehmet's diner?

Okay, okay, we are coming.

What the hell happened to your nose?

At night, a bug swooped inside
and when I scratched it...

That looks bad. Be careful with it.

Let me call this woman.
She waits for us at the cake shop.

- Are we going to meet at the cake shop?
- Have a nice day.

No, she said, she wanted to
take a look from a distance first,

and if she says okay, then
we can sit and talk.

Wait, let me call her.

Hello, hello, sis.
Sis, our guy is here,

if you are available, maybe
you can come, too.

Okay, sis. We'll be waiting at
the traffic lights. Okay.

Where is this woman from?

Why the fuck do you care where
she is from?!

First, she better comes and sees.
If she says okay, we can sit and talk.

Okay.

İso, what's up?

Yes, sis?

Sis, they are waiting at the lights.

Sis, he's like, a jacket on, a tie.
A tall guy.

Yes, sis, okay, sis. Okay.

Nasip! Nasip!

No way. Tell her.

What do you mean "no way?"
What am I supposed to tell the woman?

Say that this won't work, say what
you want to say.

Alright but, you got to say something.

Say "no way", say
"he didn't want it."

Say whatever you
want, Alişar. I don't know.

For God's sake. I'll say
"maybe some other time."

Your call.
Did you bring the cigarettes?

I did, I did.
Where is your motorbike?

Behind the Justice Hall building.

Do the fish sleep at nights?

They do.

Well, do they walk?

They don't.

The other morning, there was a fish
behind the pumps. It died.

Did it come there in day time?

Why didn't we see it?

Did it swim there?

It died. I threw it there.
So the cats could eat.

And I threw it back to water.
So that it would live.

Dad, there is a car here.

Dad, Dad, wake up.

Dad, wake up!

Dad, there is a car here.

This place is so lovely.

Loved it. Great air. It is lovely.

Dear, aren't you
the sweetest thing?

- Vahap!
- Huh?

Make one of these.

It's okay dear. I can do yo a favor,

and make four with you.

- Four?
- Yes, four!

Get inside. Get inside.

Come on in, get inside.

Come, come.

Okay. So, cheers.

- Cheers to you, enjoy.
- Cheers, to good health.

My routine is home to work,
work to home. That's suffocating!

- Vahap.
- Yeah?

You are not a lovebird that stuck
at home. You are free jackal. A jackal.

Yeah, I am the jackal. Shh.

When you came to the shop, I had
some moves to charm you up, right?

Come on, you didn't charm anyone.

Bekir was like, "go, take a look,
if you like him,

then I can set you two up."

Actually, I liked you!

That Bekir, that guy,

the sly dog who can
even outwit the devil.

Come on, for the love of God!

I mean it, I swear on my both
eyes.

- Vahap.
- Huh?

This ain't no funeral house, is it?

It's like we came to a funeral.

Come on. Put on some music.
Hit it and let's shake a little.

Nasip!

Dude, don't you have a lively song
to play? Just hit it!

- Come on.
- Come on.

Coming up!

Come on.

Come on.

Dance, dance.

Draw the curtains.

I cannot even walk.

Wait, wait, okay. Come.

Do you have any cigarettes left?

That tie and everything.
Is it for show?

Keep putting it on. It suits you.

The city is full of pimps with tie.

Come on, come on, let's go.
I can give you a lift,

the sun will show its face
until we go.

I don't want to enter the neighborhood
now. People may see us.

- Vahap.
- Huh?

My money?

Come on, your money? Really?

Instead, take her. Have some fun, huh?

I can wait for you in the car.

Vahap, money!

Okay, you are still mourning, I get it.
But you are a man after all.

You can consider this like,
"she left and this one came, huh?"

Nasip!

Nasip!

Nasip!

Nasip!

Dad?

I wanted to see if you woke up
or not.

Take an egg from the coop and
let's have breakfast.

There is a foreign woman.
I think she is German,

she is talking about something
outside the gas station...

I was at the graveyard up the road.
They threw us stones.

My friend…

my friend has been stuck in the graveyard
up the road. I need to take--

I wonder what language that is.

My friend is up there.
I need to take my--

My uncle's son used to speak
German.

- My friend...
- Sounds like that?

Here he is. Ask him. Nasip.

- What is going on?
- Can you speak German?

- Yes.
- Man, something terrible happened.

I was passing by the graveyard
with my friend

and the kids… The kids there
started to throw us stones.

I mean... I don't know.
I tried to run away right away

but my friend is still there.

They are the villager kids.
They are just playing.

Let me translate that.
These guys will help you.

Akarca Village's kids, they threw stones
at them, considering them infidels.

She says her
boyfriend is stuck there.

She wants to get there
with someone to pick him.

Okay, okay, let's find you a car then.

Brother Nuh. Can you get there
by that car,

- and pick the guy?
- Yeah, sure.

- Alright, man. Thanks.
- Come, help me out.

İsmail had ice-cream.
I want to pay for it.

- Come, come.
- Please, Nasip,

for God's sake, can I not buy some
ice-cream for my nephew or what?

Just keep it.
Coming up, brother!

The other day, my mother got sick.
I got out to take her medicine.

And while I was out there,
I had some fun at the village tea house.

You know Sultan's brother,
the police officer,

the one who is on duty in Kars.

The rumor is,
that the guy keeps saying,

"my sister always used
to take ablution,

and devoted herself to Quran,
she wasn't a suicidal type,

I'm sure there is something
fishy about it".

"I know attorneys and men of law,

if there is something else about it,
I will reveal that"

That's the village, man. When they hear
something, they add more to it.

Maybe the man only wanted
to say something about his pain

but no, the villagers
wanted to talk,

they escalated the issue like
"the Prosecutor will open the case again,

Nasip can't come to the village
because he is scared."

For the love of God!

And I stood in front of them
and went like,

"Nasip doesn't have a
mother or father here.

Why would he
come to the village?"

"and I saw how Nasip was crying
at that moment,

to make it to the hospital
on time for sister Sultan,

I saw how he struggled on the
motorbike basket".

Nasip, is that you?

It's me. Do you have time?

Mesut is in the tea house.

How are you? Where are the kids?

Everyone is fine, you know.

They watch TV inside.
How is İsmail?

Same. Watching TV at the
dining lounge.

Are you still not entering the house?

No, we still stay in the ward room.

Were you the one who called
the other day?

I rang your number, too.
But you didn't call me back.

No, it wasn't me.

I just wanted to chat a little.
I can't talk to anyone.

Mesut will go to work in Istanbul,

then I can call you. That's going to
be much easier.

And you can come to me, too.

Okay.

Are you alright?

I am fine. I am fine.

Alright, I got to hang up now.
Mesut can come any minute.

Alright, so long.

Take the soap now.

Rub it on your face.

Rub, rub, rub, rub it on.

On your armpit, too.

Put the soap down.

Wash your head by scratching it.

Smear your body with the foam.

Smear, smear, smear. On your feet, too.

Smear it, yeah.

Okay, now take a bowl of water.

Pour it down your head.

Pour, pour, pour, pour all the way.

Step on the sheets.

Pour the water.

First some little oil.
It's going to fry.

Why little?

Otherwise, it may get us nauseous.

We crack the egg on it.

Nasip!

Break the other one, too.

Cook for a little while, then turn off
the oven. I'll be back now.

I called you but you didn't answer.

The phone was inside.

The thing I told you
about the other day.

The man who is doing
that. Brother Rıza.

Greetings.

Salutations.

Brother Rıza, you can walk him
through.

Let's first see the place.

Is he your kid?

He is.

We need to cover the windows
with something.

That's not okay. What's in there?

The restroom.

Restroom. Good. Now,
Ali is our brother,

and you are his brother,
this makes us all brothers.

Now our job is to help the immigrants
get to Europe.

Our biggest problem is to keep
the immigrants somewhere safe,

until the ships show up.

Sometimes two days,
sometimes a week.

Well your place here is both
isolated and close to the sea.

We kept the immigrants somewhere by
the sea the other day. People see or hear,

they call the gendarme. That's
a problem.

So, that day's work was ruined.

If we take them here,

if you give them food,

and if we pay you per each man,
how does that sound?

What if they cause a problem?

They won't.
They are shivering with fear.

They know the gravity of the situation.
They pay big amounts.

Give them a sandwich,

show them a hole to shit.
They can even stay here for a year.

Alright. When will you bring them?

We'll come tomorrow night.

They say that the ship will be ashore
in couple of days.

They can stay here for three, four
days give or take.

If the ship is stopped
by a storm,

that may take couple of
days more, that's all.

- How many?
- Twenty. Twenty five maybe.

Hello, yeah, I talked, yes,

don't worry about it. What did you do
about the other thing? Tell me.

Why do you want a gun?

- Did you bring it?
- Answer me first.

I need it.

Alright but what do you need it for?

This is a village and winter is
coming. Just in case.

No rifles?

I have one but its trigger is damaged.
Not firing.

Did you bring it?

I will shoot myself in the head for
fuck's sake!

I will shoot myself
in the mouth. I will!

And if I don't die, I'll
shoot myself in the head!

And I'll make İsmail watch it all,

like seeing his mother's death
isn't enough,

I'll show him his Dad's brains out!

Man, a fox is assaulting the coop

We get three four eggs. We don't
have to share the eggs with a fox.

You know when you have to
use this, right?

As I showed you earlier with
the rifle.

The chain cut my ankle.
So I tied my arm.

Turn the lights off. Turn them off.

Come on, come on, come on.
Faster! Faster!

Outside!

Come on, come on, come on! Make haste.

Faster! Faster!

Shh!

You'll stay here for couple of days.
Don't make any sound!

Don't cause any trouble!

Do you get it? Understood?

You knew Turkish, right?
Translate my words.

How many are there?

Twenty three.

We'll come back to pick you
in couple of days.

Are they hungry?

The distance from
here to sea is two hours.

They are hungry. We've
been on the road for ten hours.

Do you understand? Translate.

What should we feed them with?
They are hungry.

Don't get them used to luxury.
This ain't no hotel, is it?

They can wait until the morning.

You can give them sandwich in the
morning and it's fine.

Listen. Be careful.
They shouldn't get outside,

If they go to the gas station,
people may see,

and call the gendarme.
That could cause a problem.

Hah, if things go sideways,
you don't know me. Deal?

I don't, okay.

Take it, for starters,

once we came back to pick the guys,
you can have the rest of it.

Listen, don't grow any conscience.
They never stop demanding.

You give your wife,
they want your mom.

You give your mom, they
they demand your sister.

What did he tell you?

"Don't feed them, they won't stop
eating". He said that, right?

I woke up.

Get inside!
Smoke inside!

Get inside!

You know Turkish, right?

Yes.

I'll go get bread and egg.

Tell them to stay inside and
keep it quiet.

There is tea in the kitchen cupboard.
You can make tea.

Buy cigarettes for me.

'Light'.

Come, wait here.
No one will get outside.

Is it too oily?

What if it's too oily?

It can give me nausea.

Who teaches you this?
Your mom?

How old are they?

I don't know. They are retired.

Fifty, sixty maybe.
I just talked on the phone.

Okay. Are they coming to the
town center?

No, I'll organize that in couple of days.
By the gas station, maybe you...

Keep doing it. Keep doing it.

What are they saying?

The younger son says "Just bury him,"

the older son says
"It's a last wish and we'll honor him."

What is his last wish?

"If I die on the road, don't bury me.
Just dump me to the sea."

Why?

Their father didn't want to leave
Syria.

His kids dragged him by force.

"If I die on the road, dump me to
the sea where I spent my years." he said.

He was a fisherman before war.

"Is there a land to bury my father?"
he asks.

Not the mine. There is a graveyard
up the road,

if anyone sees, things may get messy.
We need permission from the village.

Permission?

They didn't even
let the man live.

They wouldn't allow
his death to settle?

They want some soil.

Where will they bury him?

They won't bury him.
They will throw him to the sea.

They will take the stitches off
his vest,

fill it with soil,
then throw him to the sea.

Alright.
Okay, I'll tell them, okay.

Rıza says "I will come tonight.
Get the men ready."

He says "Let them to take the dead body,
we don't want to waste time with that.

They can throw him to the sea,

bury him in Europe,
or shove him into their asses,

it's their call." That's what
he says.

Nasip.

Nasip!

I spaced out. Drifted off.

Rıza says he'll come tonight.

Don't let your Dad see that. If you
get sick, he'll get angry at you.

I took the money from Dad.

Alright then.

A mayor they say. He worked
in Nazilli town,

one of the ex big shots. Actually,
their time is over,

no one knows him well, but I asked
people around,

they say, the man and his wife
are good people.

How do you know these people?

Listen, man. There is a market
for everything in this country.

Drugs, heroin, women, immigrants,

so, this has a market, too.

It's a clean job and in a way,
you can call this "a good deed",

the money is good. But don't
burst out,

like the previous time.
First take a careful look at them.

İsmail, who is that man
with your father?

He comes here so often lately.

- Sir, welcome.
- Thank you. Thank you.

Welcome. After you.

- How are you? Are you alright?
- Thank you. How are you?

- May God bless us all with good health.
- Thanks.

- Thank you. Appreciate it.
- Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks.

I'll call the kid and help.
İso! Come, tiger!

Praise be. Welcome.

- Praise be. So sweet.
- How are you?

- Are you alright?
- Praise be.

- It's like you brought two corpses here.
- What's your name?

Corpses?
Fuck you. Man, you don't like anyone!

"That one looks like fag, this one
looks like a whore, these guys look

like living corpses, even their
youngsters have died a long time ago!

There is a mediocre place for everything.

Fuck the mediocre! Mediocre my ass!

Don't act like you
are giving me a prince!

What the fuck are you saying?

Obviously you don't want
to give him away, then

why do you make me
run for you here and there?

You are not doing it for free!
You are after the money I'll pay you!

Of course I am after my money!
What else were you thinking?

Take your dog and don't drag
me into this anymore.

- What the fuck are you saying?
- What the fuck are you saying?

You bastard!

What the fuck are you saying?
You motherfucker!

Will you please turn off the TV?

Why?

There is an old man inside.
He shouldn't be disturbed.

Did he die?

I know what death is.

Why do you want to give İsmail?

He shouldn't rot here with me.

Why would he rot?
I am a village boy, too.

You said you were a dung beetle.

Keep that out of this.

That's about my misfortune.

Nasip...
I want to ask you something.

Is İsmail from another man?

Okay, never mind. It just popped
in my mind. Sorry for that.

Be quiet! Be quiet! Be quiet!

Come on, move! Come on!
Faster! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Get to the back, move,

squeeze yourself in there,
move, move, move, move.

Make room, make room.

Come on, come on, faster!

Move, move.
Boy, get closer.

You, too. Huh!

You can count later. So long.
Get into the car.

I woke up.

Last night, İsmail got fever.

And I tried to reduce his fever.

I didn't want to leave him.

But he is well now.

What are we doing when we cough?

We drink something warm.

What if you have fever?

A wet cloth on our head.

But sister Leyla did that already.

She didn't leave and is it my mistake?

I noticed that when I was placing
them in the boat.

She can stay there for couple of weeks.
There will be a new transfer soon.

What are we going to do now?

Well. We'll keep her here
for a while,

if she leaves with the other party,
she will go.

If she doesn't, kick her out.
She can then go to hell, God damn her!

Whom did you take the road with?

Alone.

Why did you stay?

İsmail was sick.
I couldn't leave him alone.

You could have told me.

Big guys were fighting with each other.

I couldn't intervene and tell you,
could I?

Even if I had told you, what would
that have changed?

You are sleeping somewhere else.
The kid sleeps separate from you.

This is life.

There are not big
reasons for everything.

Sometimes you want to go and go
without reason.

Sometimes you want to stay and
you stay without reason.

You think everyone ran away from war?

Some ran away from husbands.

Some ran away from fathers.

There was a woman, whose brother
didn't want her to put on make-up,

she ran away only to
put on make-up freely.

I talked to Rıza.

They will come back in
couple of weeks.

Don't let anyone see you outside.
I don't want people to talk.

And if you want to leave,
I can drive you to the town center.

I don't care about the rest.

Why do you have a lock on your feet?

I sleep walk.

Do you remember that biker German girl?

She sent gifts. Chocolate and stuff.

And she wrote this note.

These Germans are so gentle.

What are you having, guys?

- I'll have tea.
- Fruit tea.

What's she saying? What did she
write on the note?

She thanks us and she says she
wants to come again next year.

Why not? She was a kind girl,

a beautiful girl.

- Ahmet.
- Huh?

Do you have the number of
Sultan's brother?

I do. Don't you have it?

I have it but we haven't spoken
ever again after the funeral.

And you said he was saying things
here and there.

Maybe you can call him?

What am I supposed to tell him?

İsmail is living in misery
with me, you know that.

Now his school starts.
Maybe he takes İsmail with him?

How is he going to do that?
He doesn't have a wife.

What happened to his wife?

They broke up, you know.

I do not.

Nasip.

I was going to call you.

Why don't you come to me
at the weekend?

Mesut is going to Istanbul
for work. We'll be free.

I will come.

Alright then. I'll hang up now. And
I'll make your favorite cake for you.

I... I want to see Nasip.

Sister.

I know what you will say.

Get inside and look at them.

The kids don't even have tinkled
underpants to put on. Look at them.

He can't even look after his kids.
How will he look after yours, Nasip?

Do you think I can make that big boy
listen to me?

Whoever you will ask help for, wherever
you go, take your kid with you, Nasip.

Don't tell me that you cannot look
after him, just don't!

My mother look after me alone with
two goats.

I cannot take him with me.

Then don't go, Nasip.
Don't go, brother.

Stay. You say the school will start.

I say, maybe he can go to school
in town.

The village will be hard.

I saved some money.
He won't be a burden to you.

Mesut will take that money and
send İsmail to the dorm,

you know what dorms like
better than me,

otherwise you wouldn't come
to my door, would you?

Are you not still entering the house?

Are you staying at the ward?

The boy will be devastated there.

I don't want him to end up devastated.

Are you still walking at nights?

You said there was a hodja,

the talisman he wrote worked out,
you said.

Maybe you should see him again?

I've seen all the doctors,
I've seen every hodja.

Do you have any cigarettes?

Winter is coming.
Buy coats for the kids.

Dad.

Did the fish eat again?

No, I was just looking.

Sister Leyla is calling us.
Dinner is ready.

She cooked some great food.

She cooked eggplant food. You love it.

I told her.

This is delicious.

Enjoy it.

Hello, this is Nasip.

Do you know a Turkish lullaby?

I don't know.

But you speak Turkish.

Nasip.

It's good that
you answered your phone.

This time, I'll pay it all.
Otherwise, it turns into a problem.

Don't get outside tonight.
Stay inside.

Lock the door, I am here to hear it.

Nasip!

Nasip!

Nasip!

He fell asleep.

We better go.
Come on.

Okay.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Dad! Dad, wake up!

Dad, don't do it! Dad, wake up!

Dad! Dad! Dad, don't do it!

Dad, wake up! Dad, don't do it! Dad!

Dad wake up! Dad, don't do it!

Dad, wake up! Dad don't do it!

Dad, wake up! Dad!

Dad, don't do it! Dad, wake up!

Dad! Dad, don't do it! Dad!

Dad, don't do it!

Dad!
Dad! Don't do it!

Dad, don't do it!

Dad, wake up!

Dad, wake up!

Hello.

- İsmail, how are you?
- I am fine.

I got your books here.

Nasip wanted these for İsmail,

I bought them when I went to
town,

but I couldn't find time to bring
them here.

When my mother got sick, we
stayed at hospital for couple of days.

But still, we made it on time.

You are smoking this I think.
Nasip told me.

'Light'.

I uploaded some music in it,

that's why I opened the package before
you. Sorry for that.

İsmail, come here.

Look, MP3.

- Is this English?
- Yeah.

You are a Muslim.

Well, we all are. Our gratitude to God,
we are Muslims but...

It's just people, you know, sometimes,
we do stuff just like that and...

No, I didn't shoot myself in the head.

It was an accident.

There is this guy, Ahmet, who works
down the Mine at the gas station,

recruit him instead of me.
He is a clean lad.

Nasip, what is going on?

Where will you go?

There are two months left.
Then the winter will barge in.

Recruit Ahmet instead of me, Veysel.
