Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright, In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
William Blake
Monsters never forget.
The evil they have done.
The blood they have spilled.
The promises they haven't kept.
No matter the passage of time, they never forget.
And monsters know how to hide.
In the depths of the city, among millions of innocent people...
...they hunt with impunity.
No one can stop them.
We call these monsters "hitmen".
Sometimes, hell is on earth.
It is near to those you love the most.
The ones you sweat and bled for.
Sometimes, it takes you 40 years to realize this.
So, you want to quit the game?
Both of these are crucial, Kadir.
Both of them are fruits of a tree watered with blood for 20 years.
You should know, you drew that blood.
Talk straight to me, because I know you well.
Will you do if, or will you not?
I won't.
When I was one, back in the village, I got ill.
Nobody could cure me. They said I rolled in agony.
No sleep, crying all the time...
My mother took me, far away, to an old villager.
A "surgeon", so they said. He wasn't.
For everyone to see,..
...the old man took out a razor and began to cut open my back.
With every cut, yellow bile gushing and gushing...
Then, my crying stopped. Everyone wondered if I was dead.
The old man took a cloth, dipped it in vinegar...
...wrapped it on my back and put me to bed.
I slept comfortably.
Even at this age, I still cam! those scars on my back.
How many men have you killed for me?
66.
You cut open the infected back of this world 66 times for me.
I'm not so young as to be disloyal. So be if, tell me "no".
Now, you can quit the game.
What's the girl's name?
They fear you more than me.
They whisper "Demon" behind your back.
Neither money nor fame could take you away from us. Only love could.
What's her name? - Elsa.
Come to the restaurant tomorrow night.
Let's have a farewell dinner fit for Kadir Korkut.
Are we really going to do this, Ferit?
We have to do if, father.
Our last bastion was old friends. And now, we throw them away?
There's no one like him, father.
Some live to solve problems, some to rule.
And some live to destroy.
Only Kadir can kill the other two.
- What if he resists? - He won't.
Antidote
- Are you sure? - I'm sure. I can hit it.
Wait.
Close your eyes.
Imagine your mother there.
- Mom's packing the luggage. - No. She is there.
It's a coincidence. Your gun is pointed right at her.
I thought you were sure.
Come on, pull the trigger. - Dad, what are you saying?
Pull it.
Never let your hatred blind you.
Sometimes, not pulling the trigger is where the real strength lies.
- But you... - Forget about me.
Your goal is to surpass me.
- Dad, I don't want to go. - You're going, Kadir.
You'll become a man there. A good man, Kadir.
Sometimes, hell is on earth.
Some endings are worse than death.
Like not keeping your promises. Like having no mercy, no honor.
Promise me, son. Will you be a kind man?
I will. I promise.
Some people look at you all their lives, but never see you.
But Elsa, even though she will never be able to look, still sees me.
Don't go unbuttoning your shin to show off to girls or something.
You're from Adana. Karaisali district.
You won't be from the exact same village as Cemal...
...but it will be close, to help make you more likeable.
Don't act all smart, polite and well-educated.
Tn! to be more like a thug, rude in your own way.
That's exactly why I got you that car.
One fuck up, and we'll find you in a garbage can the next day.
They'll shoot you in the face...
...just so your mother can't look at you one last time. Got it?
- I got it. - You don't get shit. You don't.
Count them.
Cemal the Dark. His son, Ferit.
His enforcers; Refik, Hamit, Yavuz, Recep.
- The hitman? - Kadir the Demon.
Sure, Cem, say that!
Go to Kadir Korkut and say "demon" to his face...
...then he can tear you a new one.
- Relax, man. I asked for this job. - Just keep your wits about you.
I know your mom, your dad. Don't make me live with this burden.
Let me tell you the real deal:
If the operation fucks up, which is very likely to happen,
...the Chief will mourn our failure, but I will mourn your death.
Come, let's go in the other room.
- Did you see all of it? - Yes.
- Well? Did you like it? - I did.
- Don't lie. - I swear.
- Did you close your eyes? - I did everything you told me to.
What did you imagine? I know, it must be strange for you.
I wouldn't want to force you to do something you wouldn't like.
I just...
I remembered my childhood in Adana. Before I went to Germany.
- So it was nice. - It was.
And if he doesn't send Kadir for the job?
Kadir has been with the family for 30 years. He's completely loyal.
He will do it. He's the only man feared by all the families.
- Because he's overrated. - Because he's immortal.
There've been 8 hits in the last 10 years, each one he came out alive.
- Why? - What can I say, man?
He's one of our "once-in-a-century geniuses" we gift the world.
Only this lime, it's a genius in killing.
I saw the man last week. He didn't seem particularly impressive.
You're starling to get on my nerves! The Demon isn't your mission.
Just go see Cemal, infiltrate the family...
...record his conversations, get out of there with your ass intact.
If I didn't know you better, I'd say you respected the guy.
Kadir is the last tiger in the jungle. He's the last pure hitman in Istanbul.
He's been raised to kill and kill only.
And if you want to survive, you'd better respect him too.
- I'm a bad man. - I know.
I've done horrible things. Unforgivable things.
I know.
I can't be in love with you and remain that man.
I told Cemal I'm getting out.
Let's just go away. Tomorrow. Let's just leave everything behind.
But what about your job, your students?
If you'll come with me and leave your life behind, so will I.
They're holding a farewell dinner for me.
I need to attend it and leave on good terms.
Then, I'll look for tickets to Munich for tomorrow morning.
Let's just stall fresh. - We will.
Stay close to Ferit. He's the brains.
He'll never put himself in harm's way. So, you'll be safe too.
Nobody knows who you are except those in this room.
Even the department is unaware.
The village head in Sadikali tampered with the records.
You're a member of the Kilic family now Stand behind everything you say.
As long as you remain confident, you'll be fine.
Give me your ID.
Nobody has managed to convict Cemal in 40 years.
If you do this, you'll become a legend, they'll teach of you in the academy.
I'd like to keep her picture, but you'd cuss me out.
Cem, buddy, forget about that girl. Don't dwell on her. Please, don't drink.
- Don't worry. I'm fine. - Come on. Let's get going.
Osman is from Karaisali as well.
The beloved old country... From which part, exactly?
Sadikali, boss.
- What did you say your last name was? - Kilic.
The village head verified it.
I knew the grandfather of the Kilic family. ls Uncle Ali still with us?
He died in 1999, boss.
When I was young, he used to make honey. The best honey in all of Adana...
Osman, son, stay close to Ferit If there's a problem, go to him.
Our men are shod-tempered.
They're from Karaisali, Kozan, Kadirli...
When we're young, we all think we're tough guys.
Don't dare let me down!
Mr. Korkut, greetings! My name is Osman.
They'll be here soon, they're stuck in traffic. Please, after you.
I should have guessed. The old man loves surprises.
But to invite the two men he wanted me to kill only yesterday?
I'd have never thought in a million years.
Everyone's here.
All the families, big or small.
The Dagdeviren family.
The Gokmusa family.
Even Madam Huma.
The whole hungry wolf pack.
But Istanbul cake has three owners:
Civan of Haymana.
Hayri the Polite.
And of course, my godfather, Cemal the Dark.
All have their seasoned killers right beside them:
Yavuz the Blond.
The Tatar.
And my greatest rival, The Italian.
Gentlemen, behold the man of the night!
Kadir from Karaisali, who is leaving us.
I told him this wasn't necessary but you know how my father is.
Don't worn! about it.
He's going to use your retirement to forge a lasting peace.
I hope that's alright with you.
Yeah, mom?
He can't be delirious enough to tn! and kill them all there.
- No. I'll be back later. - Could he be brokering peace?
I don't know. It's late, shops are probably closed. You go and sleep.
Listen, if you sense anything odd, text me.
I'll be there with 20 cruisers. Don't put yourself at risk.
Don't worry, mom. You always do that Have a good night now!
Enough with the calls from mom. All my mojo is going down the drain.
We've been killing each other for 20 years, and what have we gained?
You're right, Ferit. Our side has gained nothing.
But your father, for some reason, has always risen.
You were the ones who violated the code. It's all on you.
Kadir's father and I did away with that code 40 years ago.
When Mehmet and I came here, you mocked us.
You made fun of us...
asking how two rascals from Adana would survive in Istanbul.
But what happened?
We killed Dagdeviren and put fear in your hearts.
That's rude, Cemal!
Gentlemen. I'll say this only once Listen carefully.
We stalled as enemies, but we can finish as friends.
Kadir is retiring today.
I propose we let all the bad blood retire with him.
Assure me of Kadir's safety once he's out of the game...
...and I swear, I will give you a share in all of my businesses.
We'll divide everything into four.
In exchange for Kadir's safety, we will all live in peace.
There are three families here Who is the fourth party'?
It's me.
My father is making you the offer. And he's not being greedy.
It's only natural that we get a little extra.
There will be peace, and Kadir will be safe.
We will divide everything like family.
- But you'll lose millions for Kadir. - I'm willing to do so.
What can I say, Cemal? I'm surprised. This is very noble of you.
I accept!
Who am I to oppose what you old wolves have agreed upon?
Just like that.
Fake smiles...
Neither a signature nor a lawyer.
Hands are shook, jokes are told, and the war ends.
The only losers are kids like Osman,
...young men who have been dying for the last 20 years...
...and their mothers who had raised them with high hopes.
You haven't eaten a single bite all night, Kadir.
But you're going to drink this.
Tonight, we drink to everything Kadir has done, and has yet to do.
Now.
I've always hated lying to you, Kadir. Forgive me.
Sir, we lost audio.
Let me go! Let go!
I said "Let go!"
If this were an ordinary night,
...we'd waste this little rat and enjoy the evening.
But tonight is a different night, Kadir.
This is the night we poisoned you.
Do you remember how we met?
You chewed me out like never before.
I had even! reason to stay away from you.
Your attitude, your words, my anger...
But you know, sounds are everything to me, my whole world.
And when I first heard your voice, I felt met a prisoner.
If you enjoyed what you did, I'd hate you.
But you're good, Kadir.
You may not feel that way...
...but you're a good man who's done bad things.
Your hands are calloused from gripping guns and throwing punches.
They're merciless. They're so strong.
But you know how they tremble when I hold them.
I have to go.
Kadir.
They tremble because somewhere deep inside you, there is a good man.
That's the real Kadir, the one who can find redemption.
That's the man I fell in love with.
The man who, no matter what, hasn't forgotten who he is.
Do you trust me?
Ever since you protected me from the rain.
I'll catch the plane.
You will be dead within six hours. But there's a cure.
We have just taken the antidote. And we have more of it.
If you do as we say, you and the cop will live.
- You think I'm with him? - No, Kadir.
You wouldn't dream of betrayal even if they ripped you to pieces.
This little mole is a stroke of fate. We found out about him today.
The two other bosses are content.
Your job would be easier if you took the dying cop with you.
Or put a bullet in his head, it's up to you.
We cut the taping at exactly the right time. The police won't be suspicious.
You have six hours. Kill the two bosses, and I'll give you the antidotes myself.
So, this is what your word is worth?
It's not words that get you to the top.
Your father also asked for my word, in keeping you out of the game.
I had you kiss my hand even before his funeral was over.
- I wanted that. - You should want this as well.
With even! second, you die a little more.
Kadir.
The poison is some nasty stuff that the Russians concocted in the 80s.
Hospitals and doctors won't do shit.
Six hours. Hum! up.
Otherwise, I'll be comforting your pianist after you're gone.
Even! time you step out of line, I'll take one of her senses.
Her right ear, her left ear, fingertips...
Ferit, that's enough!
Kadir, as God is my witness, the girl will be safe.
Just go and do what you do best.
Why didn't you poison the bosses? They were right here. You had them.
Kadir has a weak spot.
The others would never trust us enough to eat or drink with us.
- What? - Give me the keys.
Get in.
Wait, what?
Have we really been poisoned? - Shut up.
I need to report to HQ.
I want you to listen to me very carefully.
If it was just you and me...
...I'd walk right back in there and take them all down.
But it's not just you and me.
There is someone who mustn't be harmed because of me. Do you understand?
The pianist.
The only thing that matters is that she doesn't get hurt.
Do you understand?
You're serious!
You're really serious.
You want us to go, poisoned, mind you...
...and kill two mob bosses, the best-protected men in the city...
...despite dozens of bodyguards and save your girl!
- Three. - What?
Tonight is the last night for all of them.
- Hello, Zafer? - Where have you been, you little shit?
We've been waiting to hear from you. We thought you got whacked.
We lost the signal, it's gone.
Maybe I turned the wrong way and the cord got ripped or something.
Well, fix it immediately.
It's all quiet, but I have to stay put. If anything comes up, I'll call you.
Keep your eyes peeled, Cem. Please be careful! Hello? Cem?
Order something fatty.
Two servings of stuffed mussels,
...one mineral water and French fries, if you have any.
What are we doing here?
Is this how you kill people? By boring them to death?
I don't fear you, Kadir the Demon.
You're nothing but a heartless murderer who deserves the chair.
But to die here loitering... - What's your name?
Cem.
Everything I tell you to do has a purpose, Cem.
You'll eat because it will slow the poison.
We are waiting because we need to get ready.
- Why did you make me lie to HQ? - Because they would only hinder us.
We'll start with Hayri the Polite He's the closest.
After he's taken out, Civan will know.
That will be the point of no return. Kill or be killed.
You realize we'll never pull this off, right?
How's your acting?
What do you think?
6 feet tall, gorgeous. A total knockout.
Almost too pretty to fuck...
...but if you did, you'd feel like a champ.
One day, I was having a meal at the resort.
She came over and sat down across the table.
She said: "All your friends have been hitting on me.
Aren't you interested?" I said: "Do I have to be?
What might we have to do with each other?"
She was all over me.
She asked me to take a picture of her.
I said: "I'm no photographer." I told her to take a hike.
She came back and asked me why I wasn't hitting on her.
I said: "I am not a hitman, I don't hit on people."
She started thinking of how to come back.
She said: "Either you have a driver or a boat at the marina."
If she actually knew...
So, then, I had to get back at her.
I looked at her and said:
"Where I come from, there are many girls like you."
Nice one.
Then, Hayri came and took her.
Guys, good evening!
I was passing by and couldn't help but overhear.
You were saying something.
I was by myself. I couldn't help but listen to you. Sorry.
You were talking about a real knockout.
And so, you had to send her to Hayri. Why? The man has 800 prostitutes.
First, he must have pumped her full of heroin, made her an addict,
...then threatened her relatives and blackmailed her.
He'll probably force her to work for 20 years.
What do you care? Who the hell are you? Search him.
Bro, bro... Bro!
He's clean.
I'm just trying to empty the bottle. Mind if I join you?
What are you, a faggot?
No. But I do have a faggot friend. Don't you have one?
Shut the fuck up!
He doesn't speak much, my queer friend. That grumpy bastard!
But he's built like a beast. - Enough! Get the fuck out of here!
Are you going to take my bottle and throw me out?
I'm this close to shoving it up your ass!
- Junkie! Don't make me whack you! - But my friend...
- Fuck your friend! - He's here.
Oh, shit... Oh, shit...
Look, look here. If you want to live, shut up.
Kadir, now what?
Kadir, please don't. For God's sake, please don't.
A lot of men will die tonight.
The kid needs to get used to it.
In the comics he has read, in the series he has watched...
...enemies are tied and knocked out. But not tonight. Not me.
What the hell is going on at this hour?
Which one?
What do you mean "it opened itself"?
Where is Erkan?
Get your guns and go check.
Oguz!
Yes, sir?
Keep your eyes open, son. Don't let anyone in.
Yes, sir.
What the hell am I doing here, man?
Cemal...
Shit!
You sneaky bastard.
Kadir!
Kadir, come on!
Come on, Kadir. Come on.
These screaming fools, dying on the ground, they're whores.
They sell their youth and their strength to monsters.
They protect scum and poison the streets.
Hayri's hands are shaking because he's never had to do his own dilly work.
He never took someone's life while looking into their eyes.
He beat poor girls, stole them from their families...
destroyed countless lives, but never in person.
Mr. Korkut, sir, let me go He's inside.
My mom is from Adana also. We're from the same hometown. Don't...
- Will you hurt the girls? - I'm not you.
I only hurt the unruly ones, Kadir.
The other bosses called me "pimp" behind my back for 30 years.
And why?
All my girls have weekly blood tests, Kadir.
They take classes in speaking, dancing, foreign languages.
For example, these two are the best masseuses in Turkey.
Don't you think I deserve some respect?
Are you done?
I'm going to ask you one thing, Kadir.
I underestimated Cemal.
You tell him that when you see him.
This car is wrecked. What the hell are we going to do?
- We have four hours left. - I know that.
We're not taking a cab, obviously.
- This is Hayri the Polite's mansion. - So?
Fuck me...
We really are going to die.
Say what you will about the late Hayri...
...but you can't fault his taste in cars and music.
"Ferit: Go to Nisantasi"
Drive to Nisantasi.
- How did you meet the pianist? - Do you always talk this much?
A seasoned, merciless hitman.
A veteran of sweat and blood soaked nights.
He shows no pity. He's an expert in what he does.
But he falls in love.
The feeling's alien to him. He feels weakened. He stumbles.
I'm curious about just one thing: How did you two first meet?
Come on, tell me. We are in the same boat now.
- Is that what you think? - Well, yeah, it is.
You and me. We're bound to lose, Kadir.
For instance, I already lost the woman I loved the most.
We made each other miserable.
On our last fight, she got so angry with me...
...that she got out on the street in Nisantasi...
and threatened to report me to a traffic cop.
Knowing that I'm a cop.
That's how much I made her hate me.
I laid dozens of girls, but I couldn't forget her.
In my dreams, I keep reliving those past memories.
I try to do things differently so that maybe...
...when I wake up one morning, we'll be together again.
But it's no use.
Don't look at me like that. I have things to confess before I die.
You'll have to bear with me. - What's her name?
Did something ever happen to you that you couldn't forget?
Something that no matter what you do, even! day you're reminded of.
I met Elsa two years ago. She yelled, and scolded me.
You? Kadir Korkut the Demon?
Keep driving. Don't push your luck.
I told you he'd make it.
Welcome. We were just having a chat.
I was telling Elsa about how we were always like brothers.
But it's time I get going.
Elsa will stay here tonight.
I got her the Presidential Suite, out of respect for you.
Ferit, don't do this.
Hayri was unprepared.
But Civan is old school, twice the man.
We'll need leverage.
You think too highly of yourself. Don't underestimate Civan's men.
The Tatar is just like you were 10 years ago.
I can do this without involving the girl.
It's good that you're confident,
...but the "raki" you drank will stall to take effect.
You'll start making mistakes I can't take that risk.
- Ferit... - This is not a request.
I'll find you after you take care of Civan.
"23 Missed Calls MOM"
Are you in danger? Talk to me.
Why did they bring me here? How do they know me?
Kadir, please. I'm not mad, just answer me.
I'm going to do everything I can to be on that ?ight, Elsa.
I know. But you must tell me.
- If anything happens to me... - Don't say that.
If anything happens to me, I want you to promise me.
No! Don't ask me for promises!
You said that you'd leave everything behind...
...and that it would be over tonight.
Keep your own promises first.
We all have a tender spot for someone.
Elsa...
Those who turn their backs and leave, those who are left behind...
We're aware of our tender spots, but we never share them.
And it hull:s inside.
It hull:s inside.
Kadir.
The women we can't embrace, the promises we can't keep...
...places we have to leave from when we want to stay.
Kadir, son.
Here, I peeled tangerines for you. Hum! up or Osman will eat them all.
When will you and dad arrive?
Once your uncle Cemal drops you off at the airport,
...we'll drive to Istanbul and then join you in Germany.
Come on now. Uncle Cemal is on his way. Grab your luggage.
Don't let him see you with that long face. He'll get upset.
Osman is staying, why do I have to go?
Osman is just a little boy, Kadir. Is he a big boy like you?
He isn't.
You should get to know the place. You can show your brother around.
My brother...
Drive slowly on the back roads.
He's my son too, Mehmet Don't you worry.
And he's got a baby brother on the way.
- Do you still plan to call him Ferit? - Yes. It's my father's name.
Be careful, those named Ferit tend to be dangerous.
Just as long as he takes after his father...
Don't forget your promise. Have a safe trip.
We are all someone's weak spot.
We overlook their evil deeds.
They protect us.
Your men are dedicated.
They won't be able to stick with us so easily in Asmali.
What if they see you making out?
- Are you crazy? My father would lose it! - He sure would.
Bravo! Bravo!
Put the boss' daughter right in the crossfire, great idea.
Go ahead, Kadir, shoot. Kill her and ?ush us down the shitter.
Shoot, man! Come on! You shoot tool Tatar, go right ahead and kill the girl.
Come on, Kadir. Back me up.
The kid is small. He's sharp as a razor.
He thinks quick and finds solutions.
But he's impatient. That's the greatest weakness of youth.
Civan's men, on the other hand, are patient and experienced.
No one should be beaten for their peers to see.
My instincts take over This is my territory.
Just then, like Ferit said, the poison stall:s to take effect.
I'd like to show the kid that l could do it without killing...
...but my body betrays me.
I don't have the luxury of dragging this out.
You know what this is about, Demon?
Whoever kills you will make history.
Everyone knows that, but their fear betrays them.
The only person that could kill you is someone who didn't fear you.
And that's not you.
If Kadir takes out Civan, I want you to take Kadir out.
My father will not know of this meeting.
Ferit, Ferit, Ferit...
Let me tell you about Turkish cheeses. - France, be serious.
Turkish mob are just like Turkish cheeses:
You just can't compliment them enough...
...but at the end of the day, they are disappointing.
It's like comparing your kasseri cheese with parmesan.
Only Kadir matches my talent.
And if I am to kill him, I need a good reason.
My brother, in his own way, respects Kadir.
If he is to kill him, he needs some convincing.
I don't have time to lose.
Did you hear me? - I did. Did you hear me?
My father thinks Kadir can be controlled.
But he's just a dog.
Dogs resent being betrayed by their owners.
They become aggressive. We have no other choice.
Name a price. You're starling to go too far.
No. Not this time. This time, it's about respect.
You know what I want.
Istanbul is currently divided into three pieces.
Hayri dealt in prostitution.
You'll take over that now.
Civan dealt in drug trafficking. Risky business.
So?
We want what he has.
Do you think Istanbul would ever accept a foreign boss?
I don't think so. I know so.
Kill Kadir.
You'll get what you want.
Kadir, I swear... We shouldn't stop with Civan's daughter.
We should also get two beggars and a transvestite in the car.
In fact, let's also get a midget. That kind of crew could bring down anyone.
We could annihilate everyone.
But we need to round up more people. We are undermanned.
Hop in.
"Hop in"? In case you didn't notice, the car's a two-seater.
Kadir?
Are you kidding me?
Get up. - What?
- You're going to sit on my lap. - Oh, really?
- Get out, girl. - That won't happen.
It's like I am the hostage here.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I couldn't fulfill your fantasies.
Don't get sassy. It was Kadir's idea.
Why are they pulling us over?
How should I know, Kadir! Probably to peek inside and have a laugh.
Don't speed up. Let me tn! to handle it.
If you can't, you know what I'll do.
They are just doing their jobs. It's the night patrol. They're innocent.
- Then, don't try. Do it - Alright, alright.
Hey there.
Get back in your vehicle!
We just went to pick up my sister. And I needed some fresh air.
Good evening! How are you?
Are you going to use me for leverage?
You know my father.
If you're doing this for money, let me go, or you'll regret it.
We're not doing it for money.
Go ahead, shout if you want.
Cw for help. Shout.
Maybe they'll come through. Maybe they'll get lucky.
Or maybe they'll die too.
- How's work? Are you alright? - Move, move!
- Have we been drinking tonight? - Yes, we have been.
Really, I am a cop. Just, I don't have records because of my assignment.
Alright, man. Stop panicking. We'll place a call and find out.
You reek of alcohol. Did you get in a fight?
What's that got to do with anything? Believe me, I'm undercover.
Alright. Get your hands off the car.
- Mind if we do a breathalyzer test? - I do.
Then we'll need to draw blood at the hospital.
- Will you now'? - License and registration, please.
- Where the fuck have you been? - Zafer, listen to me.
You dumb-ass, they took Hayri down! Where were you? I thought you were dead!
I don't have time to explain, Zafer!
You need to reach a patrol unit right now, or two officers will die!
- Wait, what officers? - Do what I said, Zafer!
This time, Cem won't forgive me.
It'll take too long by radio. Give me the plate number, I'll tn! their cell.
This is the tipping point.
Mr. Hayri, your license please.
I feel the poison. There's only one option.
Zafer! Come on!
I don't want to, but I must.
- Come on! - Damn if, they're not answering!
Kill or be killed.
Don't kill him!
This time...
...I won't...
...be beaten!
Will he live? - Yes. With a limp.
And the car?
We need a distraction.
You can't be serious.
Dispatch, 412 is at the location. We're near the suspected vehicle but...
Stop! Stop! Don't go there!
Stop! It's going to explode! Don't go there!
It's going to explode! Stop!
Shit! Floor it! Go!
Kadir. Where are we headed?
Kadir, who is Haci Emmi? What is Haci Emmi?
Is it a restaurant? A kebab place? A record store?
Where are we going, to Unkapani? Haci Emmi...
I feel the poison. God damn it!
Kadir, who is Haci Emmi?
He's the cranky old man my dad sent me to 40 years ago.
The only man I trust.
Haci Emmi. It's time to take your medicine.
I'm busy, go await!
You didn't take them on time yesterday either. Please.
Hacer, I'm from the old world.
Back when your father swam in your grandfather's balls...
...I was hanging out with made men!
Get out of here before I smack you! Go!
Go and open the door.
Go and open the door. Go. God's curse on me.
Who is it?
Kadir?
You hooligan, come here!
Who are these? - Civan's daughter, and a cop.
What have you gotten into?
Never mind the cop, what are you doing with Civan's daughter?
- Emmi... - Civan has no mercy, no remorse.
Emmi...
Look, I can still shoot a gun. I've just fixed Cemile.
I'll go into the night if you're in trouble. Are you?
- Is my "down!" ready? - Yes. Fiona is in the back room.
Go on, get her.
Hold on, Kadir, let me take this off. Go get her. Fiona is quiet.
The poison is killing us. We're down to our last 1.5 hours.
I feel every heartbeat.
I don't have the luxury of dragging this out.
This night is my last.
But memories still haunt me. Painful, bittersweet memories...
Faces I've not seen in years, my family from another life...
This is his father Mehmet.
He left his village and conquered all Istanbul.
I raised that lion back there!
I protected him for 10 years in Germany.
You know what he said when he first saw me?
Of course, I was young and handsome back then.
He looked at me and got mad.
"You look neither like a hadji nor like an uncle."
Oh, dear God...
Girl, why is he wheezing? - I was running... I'm okay.
Hacer, come here.
Yes, Kadir.
Whatever he wants, however he wants... Move to a nice place.
Take good care of Emmi. - Thank you, Kadir. Don't you worry.
- Give me your blessing, Emmi. - You have my blessings, Kadir.
Don't watch the TV, watch me.
Say it. - Emmi, they will be here soon.
Say if, hooligan.
Cemile...
You've been here for two weeks now.
You're going to learn it all.
-"My parents will come." - Good job.
You need to learn to get accustomed to this place.
Emmi, they're going to come. Let's stop it.
Your father is antsy as well.
But I miss him, you know'?
I'm your relative from Kozan. - I know. You told me when I came here.
Uncle Cemal?
Uncle, where are my parents?
Kadir...
My dear Kadir...
The day I put you on the plane...
...it stalled raining in the evening.
Your father was driving.
I couldn't tell you without being by your side, Kadir.
I wished to die.
I asked God to take me, just like He took your mom, your dad and Osman.
I'd rather die than to have to tell you this.
God didn't kill me, so may He be my witness:
You're my own ?esh and blood, Kadir.
You're my son too.
It's hard to kill a man.
Looking into their eyes and taking their lives right then...
Well, it's hard.
- Bapir, what if Demon comes here? - Let him.
- What happened to Hayri... - Are we the same as that pimp?
Of course not, sorry.
Dogs bark, lions keep quiet.
Hayri was a dog, we are lions.
We used to be hitmen once. We used to raise hell, just like Kadir.
I've seen his father: Mehmet Korkut.
Now, he was the real Demon. He'd conquer rooms he walked in.
Even! woman wanted to be his, even! man wanted to be him.
40 years ago...
Those were legendary times.
Bapir, the Demon...
Enough with the fucking Demon!
Why fear death when it's inevitable anyway?
- Boss, he's here. - What?
He's out front, boss. He's got Dilan with him.
Dilan?
- Use the girl as a shield. - No.
Kadir...
Kid, there are worse things than dying.
- Like what? What could it be? - Like having no honor.
Alright, Polat.
- Bapir, I can take him. - Don't even think about it.
Pull that trigger, and I'll burn your family in a mosque.
What do you want?
First, I want your men to put down their weapons.
- And then what? - Your life.
Our family also deals in gambling, Demon.
I've seen bluffing faces for 70 years.
You might be a good executioner, but you're no gambler.
You're just like your late father, aren't you?
You guys don't kill innocent people.
I underestimated Civan.
I never thought he'd gamble with his own ?esh and blood.
I was wrong.
Just like Cemal, he's a boss first, a father second.
He would risk anything for power, even his own daughter.
Kadir, what are you doing?
Now take him down.
This is it.
What about me, Civan? Do you know me well?
Did you know my father?
- What are you doing? - I'm playing my role.
I'm sorry.
Civan of Haymana! What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?
Who the hell are you, scumbag?
Osman Kilic. Cemal the Dark's right arm. More demonic than the Demon himself.
Easy.
Forget innocent people, I wouldn't spare even an angel.
In my world, everyone is evil scum Even your daughter!
Put your weapons down on the ground! Do it!
Put them down slowly. That's more like if, Bapir.
When the girl walks, they'll draw spare weapons.
- I know. - Okay.
Wait a minute. What? - We can do it.
- Don't be crazy. - This is the point of no return.
Kill or be killed.
Can you change the station?
The radio, damn it! You aren't that old, Civan!
Change the station and crank up the volume.
Are you crazy, kid?
I am crazy! I'm a drunk! I have poison in my veins! Come on!
I might as well die to some fast music.
When I give you the signal, run to the right and don't stop.
And...
...if we make it through all this alive, maybe we'll grab a coffee together.
Although, this father killing stuff could get between us.
We're up against 15 people!
They're all heavily armed, and look at what I have!
- You have a purpose. - Which is?
- To be the bait. - What?
We go out on my count. One, two, three...
Kadir, you made me do stupid things all night, but this one takes the cake.
I was wrong, Demon. You're good at gambling too.
Kadir... My shoulder...
The bullet grazed you.
The men?
The ones who survived jumped, and the dead ones I threw overboard.
They say alcohol is the mother of all evil.
You know what I say? There's no love like a mother's love.
- Save your strength. - Are you worried because I got shot?
Yeah, you are!
The Great Kadir Korkut worried to see a rat die.
- You're not going to die. - We're all going to die.
Maybe the poison will kill us two in an hour and a half...
...but in the end, we're all going to die.
But hey, at least we lived, Kadir. We saw and we conquered.
How much have you lived? 25 years, tops.
Well, I lived.
I loved and lost.
If only she'd call me once...
lf I saw just one call from her, instead of Zafer's 50 missed calls...
...I'd get up on my feet and get better that very second!
We don't have much time left.
The poison is really kicking in.
What was the girl's name?
Tell me where you learned to fight like that,
...and I'll tell you her name.
Never mind then.
Fine. None of us should say anything.
We'll find the answers in our imagination.
Kadir Korkut, ex-special forces.
Kadir Korkut, street fighter trying to survive on the streets of Germany.
Kadir Korkut, the mysterious yacht captain.
I like that one.
At that moment, because he shed blood with me, Cem becomes my brother.
- I brought you something to drink. - I'm fine, thank you.
- You understand Turkish, right? - Yes, but I speak poorly.
Look, you don't have to worry.
We're only keeping you here for your own safety.
You get that, don't you?
I could break this door down.
In fact, I could even pull my gun and stall shooting, and no one would care.
Do you understand?
So just open the door.
I'm not working right now, man.
What are you looking at? I told you, I'm not working. Piss off.
Are you always this kind towards working people?
Hey! Stop!
Hey! Stop! Hey!
You do realize that he won't give us the antidote, right?
He'll act like he will, and then, he'll have us killed.
- I can take you to the police station. - No way!
You're wounded.
I am, but we are in the same boat.
Listen to this, Kadir. It's coming.
Well, that's it.
- Did you pick your name yourself'? - What? Oh, you mean "Osman"?
I thought it would fit a man from Adana.
Do you know anyone by that name? - I do.
I did.
- Who was he? - My little brother.
Finish your glass. This is a celebration.
A farewell gift in honor of your and Kadir's going away.
You know, the tenacity love creates in someone is just amazing.
My father always taught us that love was a vulnerability.
And he was right. Love is the greatest vulnerability on earth.
It makes you worry.
You develop fears that you never had before.
Love...
Lust, on the other hand...
That's different.
Lust is more carefree.
It drives you to do wrong. You stop caring.
In the world of powerful men, Elsa, we serve lust.
You want to know what's really sad?
Even if we resist lust, or despise it, we are condemned to give in to it.
There's this moment when our own body betrays us.
"I'm supposed to hate this", the mind screams...
...but you enjoy it anyways. That is a horrible but sweet moment.
We are all slaves to our lust, Elsa. Whether we like it or not.
Because lust represents the reality of mankind:
lnstinct, satisfaction, death...
We're nothing but monkeys with bloody hands, Elsa.
All of mankind.
Yes, father?
Alright.
You know, I also love Kadir. I always have.
That's why, after he dies...
...I'll make sure that what he has becomes mine.
Just like he did to me ever since we were little boys.
Get ready and come downstairs.
- Officer... - Cut the crap, you piece of shit.
Istanbul has turned into a pool of blood.
Hayri is dead, Civan took off on his boat.
I've been looking for you for four hours. This is all my fault!
I put a depressed drunk undercover beside the Demon!
Zafer, just listen to me for a minute!
I'll listen to what, huh? What? I don't care about your excuses anymore.
- If you take us in, I'm going to die - You'll be perfectly safe with us.
It's not up to you, man! Cemal poisoned us.
We have an hour left to live unless we drink the antidote.
How will you face my mother? What will you tell my folks?
"Cem had one last chance, but I suspended him.
And I put Kadir Korkut in lockup.
They died in the morning, foaming at the mouth."
Not that the girl would care, but what would you say if she calls?
That I called out her name while I was dying, but she never called?
One hour, Zafer. That's all.
I'll get us proof and bring Kadir in, I promise, please.
Do you have a piece on you, Demon?
I'm out of the game now.
Come on, buddy. Please.
These aren't the guys we're looking for. Stand down.
What are you looking at? What's with the long face?
This is not like burning tents. Come on.
Are you alright?
I feel fantastic.
Kadir, let me tell you something.
I don't think you are a demon. No way. You are top notch.
No, you are top notch to say that.
Let's go save your lady.
Each breath I take burns my lungs.
My legs are slow, my hands are weak.
I have the taste of blood in my mouth.
After you die, I'll make sure your tale lives on, Kadir.
My only rival, sole equal.
You almost did the impossible.
Kadir! Why?
Equal circumstances.
Poor Kadir.
Kadir, what are you doing?
All your powers and senses are under siege.
Poor, helpless Kadir.
All your bastions are conquered, all your shipyards are intruded.
You're Fonda, I'm Bronson, and this is the final scene.
Armies disbanded...
Maria! Do you ever wonder why epic gunslingers wait on the draw'?
It's because to draw immediately is a weakness.
What matters is to draw later, and still win.
Kadir!
Sleep, Kadir. Sleep in death's comfortable silence.
Excuse me. What are you doing? I was here before you.
- Are you German? - Yes.
The first cab is mine. - I doubt it.
Who do you think you are? I heard your footsteps, you cut in front of me.
I'm not denying that. I'm going to take your cab, I'm in a hurry.
Everybody's time is valuable. I've been standing here for 20 minutes.
I don't know why you're in a hum! but...
- You wouldn't want to know. - No, please, do tell me.
- There is violence involved. - I don't care.
You might as well be the devil himself, but you will wait your turn.
You're in a foreign country you're blind...
...and possibly the most dangerous man in the city is standing next to you.
Oh, I'm sorry, was I supposed to be afraid?
Was the poor blind girl supposed to cave in?
What are you doing? - Let's share the cab.
- What? - I thought you weren't afraid.
Why would I hold your arm? You're neither my grandpa nor my date.
I was born in Karaisali. Men from there are gentlemen.
Apparently not!
It's not raining. - Wait for if, it will soon.
Do you still have one last fight in you, Kadir?
One last act of defiance?
Disappointment.
Shoot, you son of a bitch. Shoot, shoot.
I've never liked guns. They're too unrefined.
Just like pussy-whipped men who draw on the wounded.
And who tn! to disguise...
France, just finish him.
...their incompetence.
France!
Here I come.
I will do you a favor.
Witness the fall of a legend before you die.
What a shame.
Kadir.
You're not the best.
Because...
Because what?
Because we're...
We're the worst.
We're the worst, Francesco. We're poison.
No! France!
And there's only one antidote.
Burn in hell.
Poor Kadir Korkut.
You want to stay in the dark. You want to go to an eternal sleep.
The sweet caresses of death are harbingers to eternal agony.
But no, these are not the feminine fingertips of death.
Your demons smell of cheap cologne and hair pomade.
Your torment in this world isn't over yet, Kadir.
Instead of falling into the fire, you rise to the skies.
But there's someone ripping through the silence.
Not my mother, but someone else.
Kadir...
It reminds me of an afternoon.
Kadir, wake up.
Asphalt, car horns and the smell of rain.
Kadir.
A strange, happy memory.
Kadir...
Do you remember my 10th birthday?
People talked so much about your first hit...
.that it was no longer my birthday party...
...but a celebration of Kadir's first kill for my father.
It hull me.
Just before blowing out the candles, I looked at my father.
He was so busy talking to you...
that he didn't even wish me happy birthday all day.
A terrible feeling... Hatred inside such a little boy...
It stays with you.
But you earned this. Take the antidote, drink it.
Go ahead. No tricks. Go on, drink it.
Kadir...
I thought I'd go to heaven...
...but there can only be one place where the nurse is Kadir Korkut.
Kadir.
By the way, I also poisoned Elsa back in the hotel room.
You should drink up of course, but that's the last vial...
...and it's up to you to decide who lives and who dies.
Only someone like Ferit could plan this.
Only he could rip away my last chance for happiness.
I was an older brother to you. - You were.
- I watched over you, protected you. - True.
Your father was like a father to me.
I killed for you.
True.
In return, I'm giving you the chance to live.
Don't be greedy, Kadir.
Just as long as you sacrifice your scar-faced lover.
Poor Kadir... All bastions conquered.
One last sanctuary remains.
Your wrath.
I tried Elsa. Really, I did.
But this savagery is my final masterpiece. My dark symphony.
Bravo! Bravo!
Bravo. It was a perfect show.
But it doesn't matter.
It's either you or her. One of you will die tonight.
It doesn't matter!
As I fire the last bullet, the red blob of goo is no longer human.
Then again, he never was.
- Kadir, the poison... - You need to drink the antidote.
- What about you? - Please... Please...
Kadir... Please, Kadir...
I'm sorry, Elsa.
For entering your life and for not being able to end this madness.
I need to put a stop to this.
What?
Give her the antidote. Protect her.
Kadir!
I'd hold her one last time, but my hands are cold.
I'd look at her one last time, but my eyes are dark.
Sometimes, hell is on earth.
In answers you should never know.
But you still need to ask the questions.
You made it here for dawn, Kadir.
With each dawn, the world renews itself.
As if nothing happened the day before.
Without sin, without worry - Face me.
- Ferit? - He's dead.
I didn't know that he poisoned the girl, Kadir.
Face me.
You can't shoot me in the back, can you?
You're compelled to look me in the eyes. My honorable Kadir...
- Why did you do it? - I already told you.
- Tell me the real reason! - Kadir...
I'm thinking, I'm trying, but I can't come up with an answer.
Tell me. Explain everything!
Some things should remain unknown, Kadir.
Sometimes, a sweet lie is more merciful than the cruel truth.
I was your son!
Only, I never called you "dad", just to not upset Ferit when he was little
That's how much I loved you.
Ferit was my ?esh and blood. But that boy was born evil, Kadir.
As if Lucifer got under the sheets one night.
As if he were the father and not I.
Punishments happen here in this world, Kadir.
Whatever we did in this world, we must pay for them here.
Cemal is waiting for us. Let's get going.
We got in over our heads, me and Cemal. Too much blood was spilled.
We have to hide you all. That's why I sent Kadir away separately.
You and Osman will go together. That's the safest way.
Haci will protect you all. - What about you?
- Zeynep... - Hush. And when will you arrive?
When everything's safe.
Don't worry, everything's going to be alright.
He's a scoundrel just like you.
I should go and get some water for the trip.
Alright.
Osman, bring me the other bottle, son. Come on, we are leaving.
Zeynep!
Osman...
Cemal! Watch out!
They're here!
Osman! Get inside! Cemal!
Watch out.
I put Kadir on the plane, Mehmet.
- You lie. - I swear to God, I did.
Osman! - Cemal...
Cemal... - Osman, kiss your father's hand.
May you be greeted by many the same way.
Cemal, I'm begging you...
Cemal...
He's not scared, Mehmet, look The boy isn't scared.
Like you. Like Kadir. - Cemal...
We killed one of the three bosses, Mehmet.
Istanbul wants blood.
It was either you or me, what else could I do?
If your household fell, they'd give me my own family.
Just think about it.
I never mentioned Kadir. I won't touch him, Mehmet.
They think you only had one son. He won't know about any of this.
As God is my witness, I'll raise him as my own son.
- Don't get him involved... - He will be, Mehmet.
That's the cost of living.
A member of the Korkut family will be my enforcer.
My own angel of death...
He'll find out one day...
He won't, Mehmet He won't.
When he does, remind him of his promise to me. You will see me in his eyes.
- What promise? - He'll know.
What was little Kadir's promise?
For 40 years, even! time I saw you, I thought about all I had done.
Even! dawn I awoke to, I asked myself.
You thought it was tonight, but my betrayal was actually 40 years ago.
I sent all the rest of the men home. The building is empty.
Kill me and leave here.
But my dying wish is that you tell me what your promise was.
What was the promise you made to your father?
Kadir, answer me!
Kadir! Don't walk away! Answer me!
Answer! Answer!
Sometimes, hell is on earth.
Sometimes, your own conscience is your hellfire...
...and your own memories are your demons.
Because hell truly knows how to hull us.
But the kid is small.
The Demon has died. His head has stopped.
The poison has done its job.
But they don't give up. They fight for Kadir.
The one, I love more than life itself. The other, I see as my brother reborn.
But they'll be safer without me.
Because sometimes, hell is on earth.
In goodbyes, in departures, and in sins that must be paid for.
What was the girl's name?
