The Town (Kasaba)

We're fucked.

Run!

He didn't see us.

I swear on my ancestors' graves that he didn't.

- Did you see anything? - Fuck your plan.

Hello? Selim?

Mr. Turgut's here. He tried to reach Ahmet but couldn't get through.

He couldn't reach you either. It's urgent.

So my fucking phone's blocking calls.

Should I hand over the phone? What does he want?

His wife probably kicked him out again. Give it to me.

Fuck your politeness, Turgut. We're here. Hang up.

- Why did you park here? - Should I park in front of the house?

- DON'T COME. - WHY, LOVE? WE'RE INVINCIBLE TOGETHER!

- What's up? Did you walk here? - Get in. I'll explain. I'm freezing.

- How are you? - Good, thanks.

- Why is it turned off? - Well, it's the state's money.

- I'll go with them. - Why?

They're staying at the shop.

- Be ready in the morning. - Bro...

I'll arrange a car or something tomorrow. We'll talk in the morning.

I'm coming with you.

Wow! Just like the good old days.

Why were you walking? Don't you have a car?

Forget that.

- Why did she kick you out again? - Don't ask.

I lost a lot of money, man.

The bracelets and all.

Everything I had, it's all gone.

There's this thing called Coin. You download it on your phone.

I got a supposedly great tip from some shady guy.

I told my wife that I'd buy her a car.

She even took driving lessons. That cost me too.

Trouble always finds me.

Hey!

POLICE

Are you guys okay? Bastard.

- What's going on? - Good evening, Officer. I apologize.

Is that him?

- I'm returning from a trip. - You can't drive like that.

I was trying to park, but I didn't see you.

I guess I'm just tired.

- Where have you come from? - Istanbul.

- No... - From Istanbul.

Ahmet!

What's going on?

Nothing, Officer. I'm just trying to park.

I didn't see you, sorry.

Where is he coming from?

He says he's coming from Istanbul, and he's going abroad tomorrow, Chief.

- Tomorrow. - Did we check his ID?

Yes, honey?

No, don't worry.

I'm here. I was trying to park.

Okay, see you. Bye.

- Okay, have a good trip. - Thank you.

Chief, shouldn't we have checked his ID?

Can't you see I'm exhausted? And you're pushing me, man.

THE TOWN

"IN MY YOUTH, I DID GOOD THINGS BADLY. NOW I'M OLDER, AND I DO BAD THINGS WELL."

9 MONTHS AGO

BELOVED SON YOU'RE STILL WITH US

- Come on, we're late. - I'm not done, Mom. Wait.

We need to get almond paste. Hurry up.

- Welcome. - Thanks. It's good to be here.

God bless him, Aunt Hüsniye.

Let's go, Efe.

She left town. Why is she back?

She even came to my son's grave. What's her deal?

She's shameless.

Son, stay away from her.

I like Ahmet.

He's useless, but he's harmless.

But she's different. She's something else.

Don't, Efe. I won't forgive you.

Oh, Mom...

Oh, Mom...

Brother...

Please, don't. I'm begging you.

It's nobody's fault. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

What do you know? You were just a kid.

Come on.

I was 13. I understood things.

Go ask your brother. He knows what that viper did.

Mom, okay. Begüm is here, it's getting embarrassing, please.

Why, son? She's family. She should know our friends and foes.

Sinan wouldn't have hung out with those thugs

if she hadn't left him before the exam.

They put holes in my child--

Mom, enough! Okay!

It's always the same when I visit. Enough!

It's not just you. We're crushed too.

Mom.

Okay, we all suffered.

We're devastated, but let's just be happy for once.

Think about him. Look, his brother died,

and he hears the same thing over and over again.

He never says anything, not a word.

Please.

DON’T MIND MOM. CAN WE TALK?

- Congratulations. The opening is soon. - I'm waiting for my brother, as usual.

- Want to talk business? - No.

I mean...

Why did you move back here?

I am from here.

Oh, right, you're the only local.

If you're asking about Faruk, that wasn't planned. We were separated.

Not divorced, of course, but I had left him.

You can't just leave when you're married.

I mean, turns out you can't.

We couldn't make it work.

Even trying was a miracle after what happened to Sinan.

Don't worry about it. We're past that now.

Right.

It's silly.

Silly?

That's great. Silly.

Isn't it?

- Isn't it silly? Why did you say that? - I'm tired, Efe.

I really am.

I'm tired of your comings and goings, your doubts and hesitations.

I'm tired of this silence.

Understand?

Your fear got in the way of that feeling you call "silly."

You were the one who didn't have the courage for us,

not me.

Turgut.

Wake up, come on. You're late.

Wake up. You're late!

Bro, we fell asleep.

- Can you drop me off at home, please? - Sure.

Where are you going, man?

I'm sending Selim away.

From my share.

Man, come on! Your share is my share.

Move those. Put them somewhere else.

- People come through here, okay? - Okay.

Pick me up from Sedat's in a few hours. Get organized.

Well...

Bro, are we actually going for good?

Am I running away with my mom and sister?

I don't know. We'll see. We'll be careful. No one will get hurt.

We'll stay calm.

Bro! Let's go.

Hey! What about tonight? Are you going to rot here again?

No, man.

The wife is hopefully going to her mom's for the holiday.

Don't come back anyway.

What's in the bag?

Nothing.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I want to apologize to you, Efe. To you too, Selim.

You were there because of me, and all that stuff happened.

Don't say that, love.

Come on. We're grown men.

I don't know.

We went because it was a good plan. It made sense.

But now I want you to leave as soon as possible.

Okay, Selim? There's no need to stay.

- What are you going to do? - Me?

First, we'll hide the money for a while.

We'll skip town when things calm down.

Smuggling it to Greece is no biggie for me.

What about... that guy?

- He didn't see us? - No.

- You're sure? - Yes.

But I saw him.

In Turgut's car.

We're one step ahead. We know who the money belongs to.

All I need to do is act normal.

I'll stay put. We'll stay put.

That's it. Okay?

- How much is it? - One million.

So we just take it and leave?

If we take this money and head to Istanbul,

and you get into trouble here...

I get it. You want to send us away for our safety.

But if you get into trouble here, we'll be in Istanbul,

in the middle of danger we don't even understand.

They'll notice the money is missing and come after us.

I don't think it's a good plan, for any of us.

We need to stick together, whether we go or not.

You can go back to Istanbul without the money.

Just an option. To keep you out of danger.

When things calm down, I can deliver it to you safely.

Yeah, that's a logical option too.

But we should look after each other in this world, Selim.

Not in the next.

Well, I don't know.

Let's go to Panama or something!

Or you decide. I don't want to cause trouble.

I'm embarrassed.

- I'll make some tea. You want some? - No, thanks.

- Hey, do you have tea? - Here.

Peace be upon you, Muslim brothers.

- And peace be upon you. - And peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you, brother-in-law.

No, I don't want to disturb you. Never mind.

Müfit, hold on.
