[Nail via two-way radio] The
storm's strong. I can't get closer.

[Nail] The storm's too strong.

[Nail] Too risky!

[helicopter's thumping blades]

[tense music]

[Nail] Go back. I
repeat, go back!

[Nail] It's too dangerous, Cem.

[Nail] Cem, it's too dangerous.

[tense music continues]

[glass breaking]

[tense music intensifies]

BLUE CAVE

[waves gently crashing]

[tense music]

[mellow music]

[Mete] What shall we do?

You guys grab a table.
I'll get the beers.

- Malt though, right?
- Alright.

- Hi, Serhat.
- [Mete] Let's go there.

Three beers, please.

[Serhat] Here you go, Sir.

- OK.
- That's great. Thanks a lot, man.

- [Alara] Did you book the same table?
- That one.

Ah, that's perfect. Great.

[mellow music]

[Nail] Come on,
son, for God's sake.

[Nail] We're practically
dragging you to places like this.

Here we are. Come on, cheers.

Guys, cheers.

[mellow music continues]

[Nail] Hey, slow down.

Alright then, let's order again.

So, what do you think
of the newcomers?

Great.

Pardon?

[Mete] I'm curious to
see which ones will last.

- Hey, what the hell are you staring at?
- Oh, nothing really.

Leave it out man, don't make it…

Don't look. Don't
make it obvious!

[Mete laughing]

Come on, man.

They're not going to be
interested in a soldier.

I'm going to have
a word with them.

No, wait man.

Don't cause trouble.

[Nail] Forget it, Cem.

Ah, at last! Where
have you been?

Come here. Hey!

[Nail] Oh, brother…

[Nail] Sorry bro, but
the truth is harsh.

Come and sit down.

[Nail] OK, forget it,
you can stop staring now.

[Nail] There are
plenty of other girls.

- [Nail] Serhat! Over here, my friend.
- [Mete] Over here.

[Nail] Forget about it.

- OK. Here's the bill.
- [man] It's your turn this time.

Come on guys let's go.

Get the bill and we'll leave.

It's OK. I'll pay.

Of course you will, pilot.

Cut it out, you've drunk
too much again, haven't you?

I haven't drunk too much.

[whispers] Please stay.

[whispers] Please stay.

I'll catch you up.

[whispers] Don't go.

[whispers] Goodbye.

[Nail] Let's leave.

You go on. I'll catch you up.

- [Cem] Shush.
- [Mete] Hang on,

[Mete] I haven't
finished my drink yet.

Hello there.

- Hello.
- Good evening to you, too.

Evening.

You stayed.

Ah…

Because you've been
staring all evening.

And your eyes even ate my food.

[chuckles]

And now, just as my friends are
leaving, you say "don't go".

Isn't that comical?
But a bit sad too.

[chuckles]

Have a good night.

- Are you going?
- [Alara] Yes, I'm going.

- She's gone.
- She's gone.

- [Cem] Wait.
- [Mete] Where are you going?

Wait a minute.

Wait.

You can't just have
a go at me and leave.

I didn't have a go at you.

- I just said good night.
- Good night?

Yes.

Do you always make this your
habit of questioning people?

I don't know… maybe.

- Do you have a boyfriend?
- Boyfriend? At the table?

A man and a woman sit next to each
other so they must be lovers, right?

That's a bit old-fashioned.
Can't they just be work friends?

I don't mean to
be disrespectful.

- Don't you?
- No.

So staring at me all night isn't
disrespectful, but saying hello is?

- OK, you understand me.
- Mmm.

- I don't understand.
- [Cem sighing]

Well, why don't we assume
that we are lovers?

We come to a place like this
to have dinner. Just us.

Then a woman comes up
and says hello to me.

How would you feel?

That depends on your reply.

Oh, really?

- Mm-hmm.
- Mmm.

OK. What's your name?

[woman] Alara…

Come on!

You go.

[laughs] Well, the universe seems
to be working for you tonight.

- Alara.
- Mm-hmm.

Lovely.

And?

Cem.

- Cem.
- Mm-hmm.

OK, Cem…

What else might you
mean by saying hello?

I don't know.

But hello can lead
to many other things.

Now it's getting late.

Mm-hmm.

You haven't done
anything for two hours.

Pushing it just as I'm leaving…

- Not going to work.
- I don't know. I think it would.

Wait a minute, let's try this…

I'll ask you a question,
and you ask me one, OK?

And if you…

like my answer, then you give me
your number. What do you think?

- And if I don't like it?
- Then maybe I'll give you my number.

- Ha, that's bad.
- No, it's not.

That's bad, you're trouble.

Come on.

Come on…

Ask.

[mellow music]

[engine revving]

[Mete] Man, you're
making a big mistake.

Give it to me.

Don't go anywhere. I'll
be back in ten minutes.

- I'll wait ten minutes, then I'm off.
- OK.

- I have things to do.
- You got this.

[Mete] Ten minutes.

- Let me show you what I wrote.
- [man] Great, thank you.

I took care of five and six,
as I said. Four is left out.

But maybe there's nothing.

- [Alara] Maybe there's nothing to do.
- [man] No, since you handled the others.

- [Alara] OK.
- [man] Agreed?

- Yes.
- [man] Take care.

- Thanks.
- [man] See you.

Bye.

What are you doing here?

You didn't answer
my phone calls.

- No.
- Why not?

What do you mean why not, Cem?

What you're doing is wrong.

What have I done?

Cem, this is where I work.

Can't I simply come to the museum
as a private citizen on a visit?

Besides, I have a very valuable
historical artefact here.

I've come to drop it off. There.

Whoa! Look, it's a museum,
you can't just lean on things.

Anyway… when are you going
to stop making fun of me?

Maybe when you start
taking me seriously.

Excuse me, is there
anyone else working here?

OK, will you leave? Please?

You're really upsetting me.

- Tell me why didn't you answer my calls?
- I just didn't.

- Why not?
- I just didn't. You only called once.

Then, two weeks later, you
called at some ridiculous hour.

Who calls at two in the morning without
texting first to see if it's OK?

Don't think I
don't get it. I do.

I know what you're after,
but I don't have it.

Let me make this
clear, I don't have it.

It's not like that. It's
really not like that, Alara...

No way.

Will you stop for a moment?

Wait a minute. How did
you know I was here?

I told you I'd find you.

- Mmm.
- Mm-hmm.

Mmm, in Istanbul
I'd be impressed,

but it doesn't work
in this tiny town.

You always like this?

- Like what?
- Defensive.

If it means resisting a
patriarchal system, then yes.

That's why I said I
wasn't right for you.

That's why I said it
wouldn't work between us.

- Uh-huh.
- Now I have to get back to work.

I think it would work.

Maybe you shouldn't
be quite so sure.

I've never been more sure of anything.
Remember the question I asked you?

[mellow music]

[Cem] Remember
the answer I gave?

Cem, I did call you.

What?

What do you mean?

You heard me.

Your phone was off.

There was no signal.

I…

I honestly didn't
know you called.

Anyway, you called
two weeks later.

So?

You do understand, don't you?

OK, then, let me
make it up to you.

Come on.

- Meltem, dear.
- [Meltem] Yes?

Meltem.

[Alara] Can I
introduce you to Cem?

Nice to meet you.

Err…

He's brought in a very important
historical artefact for the museum.

Could you help him? Make sure
to take it to the back room.

- Of course yes, gladly.
- I'm going.

- I'd love to.
- [Cem] No.

My business with Ms Alara isn't finished,
so I'm handing this artefact over to you.

- Sure.
- Please, take it to the back room,

- then we're finished…
- OK.

- OK, I'll wait for you in the back room.
- That's great, thanks.

- You are so bad.
- Why are you dragging this out?

We're just going out for
dinner, it's quite simple.

Is this a date or
what? [giggles]

I don't have much time because
Ms Meltem is waiting for me.

- Mm-hmm?
- So, come on.

- What?
- Give me a pen and paper.

I'm sure there's a pen
and paper in your bag.

Well…

- this is all I've got, that's like paper.
- OK.

- Pen?
- Pen.

[Alara] I'll find it. Just
a second. [clears throat]

Pen.

Then we'll meet here at
eight o'clock tonight, OK?

- Here.
- You tore it.

Well, it's just the
corner, no big deal. Here.

Eight this evening.

[clears throat]

It still has the price tag.

It looks genuine.

Looks genuine? Right!

I wanted to see you.

Why?

Isn't it completely obvious?

[mellow music]

She's not coming.

I almost didn't recognise you.

You're here.

- You waited.
- Yes.

- Why?
- Why did you make me wait?

So I could be sure.

So you could be sure, eh?

- OK.
- Why did you wait?

To be sure.

- So, if we're sure...
- We're sure.

[mellow music continues]

What now?

[Alara] I wonder how many women
you've pulled this trick on.

- [Cem] Do I look like that kind of guy?
- [Alara] I don't know what you're like.

[Cem] So, what's your
longest relationship?

- Eight years.
- Phew, wow that's a lot. Eight years.

Yes, and it's still going on.

- What do you mean? Won't he let go?
- No, we live in the same house.

What… do you mean?

My dog.

His name's Portos.

OK.

- [Alara] Mmm.
- Alright.

[Alara] And you?

Your dog doesn't actually count,
so you didn't answer the question.

Four years.

Four years.

And you?

- Seven months?
- Are you're asking me?

Seven months.

Oh… attachment problems?

Well, let's just say
professional reasons.

Right, I didn't really ask you,
what is it you're doing in Foça?

I'm not in Foça. I'm in Uzunada.

[tense music]

A soldier.

Yes, I am.

Naval officer.

A soldier, eh?

That's a shame.

Mmm. So you liked me.

Mmm… I liked you much more
with a beard. [giggles]

OK, got that.

[Cem] And you?

[Cem] Have you
always lived in Foça?

[Alara] No, my mum and I came
here about six years ago.

[Alara] I'm an archaeologist.

There's excavations, and I like to go to
the museum, you know, once in a while.

I think it must be amazing to
bring the past back to life,

and if that's what excites you, then
I think that must be very meaningful.

You know what?

When we look at the stars,
we're looking at the past.

[Cem] It's true.

You're a romantic soldier.

Yes, I like the sound of that.

Romantic soldier.

Your mum? What does she do?

She wrote literature.

I lost her three years ago.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

And your dad?

No. Let's hear
about your parents.

So… did your father die, too?

I don't know. He may have.

Oh yes, I've got daddy issues.

He left my mum and
me when I was little.

Anyway, tell me
about your parents.

Err…

I lost my mum when
I was a child,

and my father was a troubled
man, who left in a troubled way.

[mellow music continues]

Nice trick though.

What's that?

What you're up to.

Ah, huh… my only trick.

- Mmm.
- I waited a long time.

- Mmm, how long?
- Quite long.

Oh by the way…

I forgot this.

Cem, give it to me.

- OK.
- Give it.

Calm down, I'll give it to you.

- Calmly.
- OK, give it to me. Come on.

I just have a few questions.

So, I had a look at your notes.

Why were you looking
at my notes? Give it...

Here's the thing.

There's a place
inside the heart.

- So…
- Mm-hmm.

Where is that?

- That's none of your business.
- I'm curious.

- Will you give it back?
- Tell me and I'll give it to you.

Tell me.

[Cem] Where's the place
inside your heart?

[Alara] The Blue Cave.

- [Cem] The Blue Cave!
- [Alara] It's a special place.

- [Cem] Special?
- [Alara] Yes.

[Cem] How special?

- [Alara] Very special.
- [Cem] How much?

- [Alara] Very much.
- [Cem] Very much.

[mellow music continues]

[Cem] That's how special
this place is to me.

[Alara] What's so
special about it?

I'd only bring here
the woman I'd marry.

- What?
- Mm-hmm.

I mean, I don't know whether
we'll get married or not.

[Alara] Stop saying that.
We're not going to get married.

You're kind of
enjoying it though.

[Alara giggles]

Well, a little.

[mellow music continues]

How's it going?

- Bad.
- Mmm.

[mellow music intensifies]

[mellow music fades]

[melodic music]

Isn't it beautiful?

You wish it would
stay like this.

But the sun fades too.

Do we know each other?

I don't always come across someone
who appreciates the view that much.

I wanted to say hello.

Do you live around here?

I've been around
here for a long time.

So many people must
pass through here.

Mm-hmm… yes, quite
a few of them.

[Pinar] This place
makes people feel good.

[Pinar] It heals them.

[Cem] Do you think so?

Don't you believe me?

I gave that up a long time ago.

You're not living.

I'm not here for a revelation

or in some way to
discover myself.

You're here though.

I made a promise.

To someone close?

We didn't have enough time.

[Pinar] And just like
that, it disappears.

Light and darkness
in eternal balance.

It's really that simple.

What is simple?

You can't control everything.

[Pinar] I know people like you.

You try to save everyone.

[Pinar] You try to
protect everyone.

Actually, what
happens just happens.

[Pinar] And what
happens is good.

[Pinar] It's not your fault.

That's why this
place is important.

Close your eyes.

- Excuse me?
- [Pinar] Close your eyes.

[distant whooshing]

[Pinar] I lay on my right side.

[Pinar] I turn to my left.

May the angels be my witness.

[Pinar] To my
religion, to my faith.

[Pinar] May they take
me to Allah's place.

[child giggling]

[Pinar] May Allah give peaceful
sleep to this subject of his.

Have a good journey.

The prayer.

My mum used to say it at night.

Mine too.

[melodic music continues]

[Alara] I loved this place too,
but I didn't stay there long.

[Alara] But wait for it.
I'll show you one more place.

- Ah… look, here.
- Mm-hmm.

[Alara] I wish I could have been there
when they first discovered the artefacts.

Imagine, 12,000 years ago.

12,000 years. It's mind-blowing.
Think about it. Imagine.

Boncuklu Tarla, right? Wow.

Soldier?

Maybe we should get you a
history award or something?

Well, considering all the missions
I've been on in that region…

I stayed there for
almost two years.

[owl cooing]

Anyway, that's enough history.

Mmm…

[mellow music]

[breathing deeply]

I love the way you smell.

- Smell?
- Mm-hmm.

How do I smell?

- Like a cave.
- A cave?

- [Alara] Mm-hmm.
- OK.

What's it like?

[Alara] Fresh.

Mysterious.

- Caves smell of mould.
- Cem. [giggles]

Don't do that!

I get it, you're trying
to bring the conversation

round to that green
cave somehow...

Not green, it's blue!

Why don't we go there? Mmm?

- Shall we go?
- Yes, let's.

OK.

When shall we go?

- At the right time.
- You're an asshole.

Asshole.

I don't know about cave smells,
but I really like your taste.

Mmm…

- It reminds me of something.
- Mm-hmm.

[mellow music continues]

I tell you what,
it's incredible.

You go inside, open the
tomb, and you get goosebumps.

- It's extraordinary.
- You guys are really unbelievable.

Why didn't you let me know?
You know I'd have volunteered?

But he's so unpredictable. Huh?

The other day he goes:
"Let's go to Kazakhstan."

You know, he's always
been like this.

What's wrong with that?
I think that's so good.

Well, let's get to the
important question now.

- Cem, dear.
- Mm-hmm.

You're actually the second
candidate Alara has brought here.

- Candidate?
- Second?

We're curious, what are
you? Who are you? Tell us.

So my predecessor didn't make
it past this meal, right?

- Mmm.
- I guess not.

- Sweetie, don't pressure the guy.
- What's wrong?

- He's a soldier, he can handle it...
- Demet… that's enough.

Your beer's finished,

- shall I pour you another one?
- Thanks.

Let's clear the plates away. OK?

I'll help you with them.

- I'll take that empty one too.
- OK.

- Thank you.
- [Demet] I'll come and help you.

Got any assignments,
at the moment?

Yes I do, actually. A small
mission in two days' time.

So is every mission,
you go on, a secret one?

Blue Homeland issue?

- What issue?
- [Emre] Blue Homeland.

No, it's not an issue.

National Defence starts
in the Blue Homeland.

They're not all classified. We
don't talk about them on principle.

- [Hakan] Sure.
- I don't know. The topic's come up again.

Yes, she doesn't
really like my job.

Rest assured, we know that.

- That's not true, Cem.
- Yes.

I'm just trying
to get used to it.

OK.

Alright, Cem.

- [Cem] Mmm.
- Have you ever been married?

No.

Why not?

Are you afraid of
marriage or something?

No… I…

I guess that I've never found
someone I wanted to marry

and have kids with.

Mmm, yes.

I mean, I guess it's
difficult because of your job.

Are we back to Cem's work?

[Emre] Well, I have no idea what
you do, so I'll ask directly,

do you do covert operations?

- Bam, bam, bam...
- Emre, dear.

[tense music]

But… could you die?

I could. It's possible.

Doesn't that possibility
scare you, Cem?

No.

It could happen to any of us.

Well…

[Alara] OK…

Let's say it happened to you.

- OK.
- And those left behind?

Aren't you causing
them the greatest pain?

Well, I'm not dying.

I'm doing my job.

[tense music intensifies]

[engine revving]

[phone ringing]

- [phone ringing]
- [Alara] Yes?

- Alara, I'm disturbing you…
- [Alara] What do you want, Cem?

You.

[rain splattering]

[Cem] I want you Alara.

[thunder]

[mellow music]

I've been coming
here for a long time.

Since I was a child.

I used to sit right
here, daydreaming.

Maybe one day, I'll
have a home here.

It's wonderful.

Do you like it?

I love it.

I hope you do.

Do you see that house?

- Mm-hmm?
- The house on the hill?

Mm-hmm, I see it, Cem.

The one in the clouds.

On the ocean.

[chuckles]

It's ours now.

[mellow music continues]

Ours? What do you mean?

Err…

I'm not really sure how
I'm supposed to do this.

Alara…

[sighs] Now.

Alara.

Will you marry me?

Cem…

- Cem.
- Alara.

Even if we get married, I
don't want to be without you.

You won't be.

You won't be.

When I finish my tenth
year, then I'll quit.

And we'll be together.

It really won't work.

I told you when we first met that
it just wouldn't work between us...

It will. Come here.

- We can't.
- Yes, we can.

- Yes, we can.
- We can't.

We can.

We…

I love you.

[mellow music fades]

[sorrowful music]

[dog whining]

- Hey, who are you? Huh?
- [dog whining]

[fire crackling]

[melodic music]

[dog whining]

We had a dog that
looked a bit like you.

A long time ago.

[dog whining]

Sometimes I don't
understand time.

How did I get here?

When did I arrive?

I've no idea how long
I've been walking.

[dog whining]

Since Alara died, I've
lost touch with time.

I'm in a lonely dream.

Yes, you see, dog?

And now I'm going
to the Blue Cave,

hoping to get closer
to my dead wife.

Like a bloody idiot.

[Alara] I want to be with
you among the clouds.

I think you forget
that I'm a sailor.

[Alara] It's OK, we can
see the sea from the sky.

You're so beautiful.

I love you so much.

[Cem] I will never lose you.

- [Alara] Let's go.
- [Cem] We'll go.

Let's go to the Blue Cave.

[Alara] Remember the first time
we dated at the amusement park?

[Alara] You said you'd bring the
woman you'll be marrying there.

[Cem] Yes.

[Alara] That's how I
feel about this place.

- [Cem] The Green Cave, yes.
- [Alara] It's not green, it's blue.

[Alara] I went there
once when I was a child.

With my cousin.

[Alara] They were going
out on a boat with friends.

[Alara] They took me along.

[Alara] Then we went there.

[Alara] When we
entered the cave,

[Alara] I felt
something different.

[Alara] There was a different
life energy, it seemed.

[Alara] You get lost in it.

[Alara] As if you're
a part of everything.

[Cem] You never
went there again?

[Alara] Mm-hmm,
I didn't want to.

[Alara] Cem…

ever since I met you, you've
been reminding me of that place.

[Alara] It's like I'm
in that cave again.

You're scaring me today.

You excite me so much.

[Alara] With every breath I take,
I feel every cell trembling.

[Alara] I feel like my whole
body is surrendering to you.

Hi there, can I be of
help with anything?

Just checking my route, thanks.

Team up with us for a bit?

No, thanks.

[dog barking]

[Zeynep] Ah, what a
cute little thing.

Ah, what's its name?

Dog.

[Zeynep] Is your owner a
very boring person, dog? Huh?

[Zeynep] Is your owner a
very boring person, dog?

He's not mine.

[Zeynep] OK then. Fine.

I'm not saying anything else.

[woman] Let's go!

[Zeynep] OK, coming.

- You coming too?
- No.

This is a hard route.

I mean, if you
take a wrong turn,

It's pretty hard to turn back.

Thanks.

Where are you going?

The Blue Cave.

Oh…

the Blue Cave.

You know you're on
the wrong path, right?

[Zeynep] But you're lucky.

[Zeynep] We're going that way.

Come with us and you
can split whenever.

Ah…

- I'm Zeynep, what's your name?
- Cem.

Cem. You're either a Capricorn…

- or a Leo?
- Capricorn.

No. We wouldn't
ever make it work.

I've heard that before.

Hey Zeynep, are you an Aries?

Yes, how did you know?

Well, Zeyneps are usually Aries.

Come here!

[Zeynep] Come on!

- [Zeynep] What do you say?
- [Cem] To what?

- [Zeynep] It's very high…
- [Cem] It is.

Will you jump in with me?

Why?

The thrill.

Mmm. It wouldn't be so bad.

A little adrenaline rush.

I don't think it'll
rise that much.

You're bad. [giggles]

[giggles]

Sometimes you
don't want to live.

I know exactly what you mean.

I don't feel like I'm living.

[water swirling]

[Alara] Did you touch her?

No.

You're a liar.

[Cem] Alara.

- [Cem] Alara, stop.
- Stop?

- [Cem] Stop, Alara.
- Stop. Listen.

- Cut it out.
- Listen!

"Alara, I'm sorry
it was my mistake.

Cem is not to blame at all.

It only happened once.

I think he must have
told you. I'm so ashamed.

Please forgive me."

Did she write that?

Yes, she wrote it.

That's why I want your version.

Did you touch her?

No.

[dramatic music]

[phone dropping]

[Alara sighing]

[Cem sighing]

Are you bored with me?

What are you talking about?

So why did you then?!

Alara…

It isn't what you think.

[dramatic music continues]

[Alara heavily exhaling]

[Alara] You're disgusting.

- Alara…
- You're disgusting...

Alara…

- No, Alara. Don't call me Alara.
- Alara, please.

- Don't come near me!
- Please, listen to me.

- Get away from me.
- Please, listen to me.

I didn't cheat on you.

You don't have to sleep
with someone to be a cheat.

If I were to text with some
guy, some man every day…

Imagine if some man called me every
day, would you still trust me? Huh?

Answer me, say something
for God's sake.

This girl is texting,
and she's texting me too!

[breathing heavily]

Are you done?

What kind of person are you?

[tense music]

Because you don't
know what happened.

You don't know.

Stop this. Will you
please stop this?

She's your fellow
soldier's girlfriend.

Please be aware that you
actually don't know shit!

I was standing in front of
my fellow soldier's tomb!

Stop it, will you?

I really just don't know what
kind of man you are anymore.

[sighs]

She just needed me.

[dramatic music]

You can't save everyone, Cem.

[dramatic music ends]

Are you always this cautious?

Can we not talk?

OK.

Let's not talk.

You'll get cold here.

- Come on, get a little closer to the fire.
- I'm fine.

I know you're fine like this.

But…

Isn't that really
the whole point?

I mean…

to experience what
we don't know.

Some of us are like this.

- I'm like this.
- Is that so?

Oh, yes.

[mellow music]

I lost someone very close to me.

But this…

helped me find out who I was.

I'm not here to discover myself.

I didn't come here to seek enlightenment
through the hidden meanings of life.

[pebble colliding]

[Cem grunting and sighing]

[Zeynep] OK.

- It's alright.
- [Cem breathing heavily]

Calm down. [whispers]

[breathing heavily]

[Intense and rhythmic music]

[breathing heavily]

[music speeds up
and intensifies]

[music rhythm intensifies]

[drumbeat intensifies]

[music stops]

[water swirling loudly]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

[Alara] Weren't you
leaving this morning?

There's a missing person.
They asked for support.

- Then what?
- [Cem] We'll deploy for the mission.

See you in a few months then.

Alara…

I can't have a child with you.

[Cem] Go to bed.

- Did you hear what I said?
- [Cem] Go to bed, Alara.

Come on.

[Cem sighing]

[Alara] You're absent,
Cem. You're not here.

What changed when
we got married? Mmm?

[Alara] What changed?

- Because of my job…
- [Alara] Your job?

- [Alara] Always your job.
- [Cem sighing]

That is our biggest
problem anyway.

What happened?

You were going to quit when
your tenth year was up. Mmm?

And you're still talking
about going on missions like…

[Alara huffing]

I hope you're not
misunderstanding me. Because…

I'm so proud of you.

But I want to start
having a family, Cem.

I want to have children.

[Alara] And I don't want
those kids to worry about

whether their father
will come home or not.

I'll quit.

Last mission.

After that, I'll put in my
application for instructor.

I don't believe you. [whispers]

[dramatic music playing]

[Cem] I was going to tell you
after I filed the petition…

Here.

Is this for real?

Yes, it's for real.

[sobbing]

[Alara] I love you so much.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.

Sorry.

- I'm so sorry.
- Don't be.

I know how much
you love your job.

I love you more
than anything. OK?

I can't lose you.

I won't lose you.

We're going to start a
beautiful family here.

And then we'll go
to the Blue Cave.

You're lying. It's
been five years.

[gentle music]

[upbeat music]

[thunder]

[upbeat music continues]

[mellow music playing]

[mellow music continues]

[music stops]

[man moaning]

[Cem grunting]

I don't look very
good from there, do I?

- How long have you been like this?
- I don't know.

I don't know.

Do you have any water?

Thanks.

What's your name?

Harun.

I don't do well with Haruns.

[Cem] Now…

I'm going to poke your body
with a stick, is that OK?

Do whatever the hell you want, just
get me out of this fucking place.

- Come on.
- OK.

OK.

Ah…

[Harun] Ah…

- Two.
- [Harun] Two what?

Broken.

[tense music]

I don't feel anything.

Harun…

- Push again.
- I am pushing.

Push harder.

[Harun] Harder.

Harder!

- I just can't.
- [Harun] Harder! [shouts]

Come on, harder. [pants]

Am I going to die?

I don't know that, but look,

just hang in there
a little longer.

I'll go get help and
be right back. OK?

[tense music]

[Cem] Anybody here?

[Cem panting]

[Cem] Help!

[music stops]

- Ah… want some?
- No.

Whisky and I don't get on.

Why don't you like whisky?

Lion's blood.

Must be something to
do with my childhood.

Ah… I see.

You know what?

People…

often think about their regrets
in their final moments on earth.

[Harun] I had a wife.

And a son.

I couldn't be a good husband…

or a good father.

Why not?

I was taking all my
anger out on them.

That's what fathers usually do.

Yours too?

[child panting]

All fathers.

Mine used to beat me a lot. Huh…

He beat me every single day,
he beat me like drinking water.

[Harun] But then…

it made me stronger,
more powerful, I thought.

Is that why you beat your son?

To make him a man.

- As you beat iron with fire.
- … "beat iron with fire."

That's the idea.

Do you have a child?

- No.
- That's good. Fuck it, don't have one.

Do you regret it?

Yes.

I mean if I hadn't brought
him into the world,

he wouldn't be the
cause of my sins now.

What is it you do?

I was in the Navy.

- Combat diver.
- [Harun] Ah.

You surprise me.

[Cem] Why?

I don't know, you don't
come across as a commando.

You can't even get me out
of this fucking place.

You can't save me, can you?

I don't know.

- I don't want to die.
- [Cem] I know.

So answer me, honestly.

[Harun] What the hell
are you doing here?

My wife.

I came to see my wife.

Where's your wife?

She died.

If you think about your
regrets before you die,

then you've lived
a peaceful life.

Yes.

[Cem] Regret shows
itself when you lose.

Never looking into
her eyes again.

[Cem] Never hearing
her voice again.

I watch everything we've been
through, like a movie in my mind.

[Cem] I try not to
forget anything.

Every time I watch that movie,

it's part of my grief.

[Cem] Simple things.

[Cem] Why did we fight?

[Cem] Why didn't I just hug
her instead of dragging it out?

I should've just kissed
her a million times.

Regrets.

Yes.

Harun?

[music continues]

[man] Yes.

[man] The thing is… err…

[man] I consulted
my fellow doctors

- [man] to re-evaluate the results.
- Mmm.

The results indicate

that Mrs Alara's condition is…

Cardiac Sarcoma.

[man] That is…

[man] heart cancer.

Cancer?

[man] Unfortunately…

[man] it's a very rare disease,
but… this is what she has.

[Alara] I'm so sorry.

[dramatic music continues]

[heavy rain splashing]

[Alara] I'm sorry.

Why are you apologising?

- We had such plans.
- [Cem sobbing]

You never used to say
such silly things.

[Cem sobbing]

We'll go to that
Blue Cave on foot.

[metal clanking] We'll go
to that Blue Cave on foot.

[Cem] We'll lie on our backs…

and we'll get lost.

And then we'll go there
with our children.

[Alara] Children?

[Alara] Children?

- [Cem] Five of them.
- [Alara sobbing]

Where I put the
heart on the map…

I'll be waiting for you there.

[Alara] Right there.

[dramatic music continues]

Shh…

- [Cem sobbing]
- [Alara] Shush…

[Alara] OK. I love you so much.

[Cem grunting]

[dramatic music intensifies]

[sobbing]

[high-pitched sound]

[Cem] Hey, kid!

[Cem] Come here!

[breathing heavily]

[sound continues]

[Cem] Wait!

Come here!

[underwater sound]

[panting]

[Cem laughing]

[Cem] Ask.

Why me?

I'm glad it's you.

Your question?

Are you feeling
what I'm feeling?

Oh, yes.

I love you so much.

[panting]

[door closing]

[Melek] Don't worry Cem,

there's nothing to be afraid of.

What's happening here?

Who are you?

It doesn't matter who I am.

But what you're going
through right now…

that matters.

What? What's
happening? [whispers]

You had an accident
a few minutes ago.

[helicopter's thumping blades]

[Melek] And right now, your brain
is painting this conversation.

[Melek] The things
you want to see…

Everything's being painted
like a dream in your mind.

[stuttering]

But I…

But I've been walking for weeks,

and I've seen so many people.

Who did you see, Cem?

Think. Who have you met?

[woman] I lay on my right side…

[woman] I turn to my left.

May the angels be my witness

to my religion, to my faith.

[Pinar] May they take
me to Allah's place.

[Pinar] May Allah grant peaceful
sleep, to his servant, Cem.

[man] Cem!

[child panting]

[man] Cem.

[Cem] Is that why
you beat your son?

To make him a man.

- As you beat iron with fire.
- … "beat iron with fire."

[Harun] That's the idea.

[Alara] "I'm sorry,
it was my mistake.

It only happened once,

I think he must have
told you. I'm so ashamed.

Please forgive me."

- [Cem] Did she write this?
- [Alara] Yes, she did.

[Alara] She's your fellow
soldier's girlfriend.

[Alara] Did you touch her?

Goodnight.

Missing person case. [whispers]

[dramatic music]

[Mete] Come on, Cem!

[Mete] Come on, buddy.

Come on, lion!

[Mete] Come back.
Stay with me. Cem!

[Melek] I'm sorry, Cem.

Alara? Did Alara die as well?

No, Cem.

[Cem] What do you mean, no?

[Cem] I buried her. I buried
her with my own hands.

A dream.

[Cem] Was Alara ever ill?

[Pinar] No, Cem.

[Pinar] It was an illusion
you created in your mind.

[Pinar] We don't usually see
ourselves dying in a dream.

[Pinar] And even if we do,
we wake up immediately.

[Pinar] Because the mind
doesn't accept that we're dead.

[Pinar] Instead, it draws a story
for itself, just like in dreams.

[Pinar] We don't
have much time, Cem.

[Mete] Cem, come on!

[Mete] Cem, come on!

Come on, Pal! Come on, Cem!

Come on, Cem!

Am I dead?

Yes, Cem.

What happens now?

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

Nail?

- Nail?
- Al…

- Alara!
- What happened? Are you still on your way?

- [Cem] Alara!
- Nail, what's happened?

[Alara] Nail, tell me!

[phone dropping]

- Cem.
- Alara, I'm here!

I'm here.

- I'm here. Look at me.
- No.

Look at me.

- No.
- I'm here.

- I'm here. [sobbing]
- You didn't go away.

Look at me.

- You didn't go.
- Look at me.

You didn't go away.

I'm here.

[Alara sobbing]

- I'm here.
- Cem.

Look at me, please. Look at me.

Cem.

I'm here.

- Cem!
- I'm here.

Look at me, please.

[Alara] I told you not to go!

A new adventure awaits…
you'll be a dad.

[screams]

Please, look at me.

[Alara screaming]

Ah…

[dramatic music]

[Cem sobbing]

I'm sorry.

[Cem sobbing]

Love your mother very much.

I love her so much.

Make her proud.

Make her laugh.

Love her very much,
no matter what.

Don't go.

[Alara] Don't go.

[Alara] Don't go. [sobbing]

Don't go.

[Alara] Don't go.

[mellow music]
