LAWS OF REPUBLIC OF TURKEY

Poor Agah.

Munir?

Munir?

Where are you, my boy?

Munir?

Munir?

Munir?

Come on boy, it's time for breakfast. Where are you?

Munir!

Where are you, sir?

Munir?

Have you gone to a vacation or something?

No.

-So Munir has never been alone? -No.

You haven't delayed his treatment?

No, I was giving him the cat food you gave me for his...

-Acute kidney failure. -Yes.

Did he die because of that?

Because of acute kidney failure.

Not just that. The cat has also been dehydrated.

How?

MUNIR - MY LOVELY CAT

Man, what are we going to do with her?

She's been here for six months and they are still talking about Nevra.

You are bothered because you couldn't sleep with her.

Fuck off. What the fuck are you talking about?

How many of my classmates is crazy about coming here, do you know?

She literally came here out of nowhere.

Do you know why? Because she is a woman.

They called it positive discrimination.

What part of this is positive? There are many strong men out there.

But for them it's necessary to put Nevra into the spotlight.

Nevra, Nevra.

Fuck that thing called 'human resources'.

What does it have to do with that? Let's say you're out there with Nevra.

Would you trust Nevra? Could you trust her?

I would trust more if it was a man holding the gun.

-At least it would be clear what he'd do. -See.

She can get the fuck out of here.

But she shouldn't go without a fuck.

Definitely.

Nurten, could you schedule an appointment for next week, please?

Agah Beyoglu.

Thanks.

Now...

First thing we should do is to inform your family.

They have to know about this first.

Your wife had passed away.

Yes.

It's been 10 years.

You have a daughter.

Yes, but she's not here, she's living abroad.

Doesn't matter, you should inform her.

She may even call me, I would like to talk to her.

Are we clear?

Yes.

Bon appetit.

I was thinking if we should redo the test, in case the results are wrong.

I knew a guy named Necmi.

-They said he had cancer but then... -I know.

I know.

It's hard to accept.

But the results are clear.

So are the symptoms.

For me, there is no doubt in this diagnosis, Agah.

You have early stage Alzheimer’s.

Yes, Dad?

Honey.

Dad, I can't do it. I can't bear this anymore.

What happened? I'll call the Chief Inspector.

Dad, I'm not a kid. I don't want you to call anyone.

Then why did you call me?

Daughter?

Dau...

But doctor, I remember everything.

People forget things when they have Alzheimer's.

I worked at the courthouse for 27 years.

If I went there now I'd remember where every file is.

You are in the early stages.

Ask me then, anything. My anniversary, friends' phone numbers...

I know them by heart.

My friends used to call me I was like a phone book.

Back then we couldn't save the numbers so I memorized them.

Agah.

You forgot to give water to your cat.

You forgot to feed him.

He starved to death.

How could I do that? How?

Poor Munir.

Look, this is an early diagnosis.

This will be of tremendous help for the treatment.

We have patients that lived 20 years after the diagnosis.

So rest assured.

Lived 20 years but do they remember what they lived?

Alzheimer's directly affects memory.

It's one of the main reasons for dementia.

But we will do all we can to stall this and to keep your mind alive.

But sooner or later, I will forget things, right?

Don't think about this now.

All my memories, experiences will be erased, they will go away.

What will happen to me?

I mean...

Phone numbers aren't that important.

But what will happen to my personality?

Wouldn't it be erased too?

I will forget what kind of man I am.

You are alive but you don't exist.

How can someone endure this?

You may put this in your pocket.

I'll check the sound, say something, please.

-What should I say? Hi. -You can count the days of the week.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Monday.

Tuesday, Wednesday.

Thursday, Friday.

That should do.

Let's get started.

I'll start with a basic question.

How does it feel to be the only woman

working in an homicide bureau with 140 staff members?

How does it feel?

Of course it's amazing.

I feel very privileged.

First of all, all of us here are part of the homicide bureau.

It's impossible to see anything like gender discrimination

or any other sexist approaches in this institution.

Instead of any problems, my friends are supporting me so much.

Which also means another responsibility for me.

I am trying to do my best to be worthy of their support.

-You studied public administration, right? -Yes.

You even worked as a manager in private sector

but then you decided to enroll at the police academy.

Yes.

Why did you decide to become a police officer?

I always thought about it because...

The greatest man I know was a policeman... My father.

Who is currently retired.

You start to understand things as you grow.

We barely saw our father.

Maybe at the weekends, just for a day.

I used to resent him.

I used to tell him that he cares about other people more.

It seems that my father's job is to care about other people.

And he ingrained this concept in me so much

that I don't know how to live any other way.

I actually repeat this in every interview

but being a police officer is not a job for me, never has been.

There is a concept called goodness.

For me, being a police officer means being a part of that goodness.

That's my purpose...

To become a good person...

Deva!

Deva, answer me! Where were you last night?

Deva, answer me!

-Yes? -Zuhal, hello my dear.

Wait a minute.

Tell me where were you last night.

Look at me!

Where are you going?

Come with me then.

You're not going!

Deva, I’ll fuck you up!

Deva!

Yes?

My dear, is this a bad time? Did I wake you up? What time is it there?

No, we are awake. It's morning here. Is something wrong?

Do I need a reason to call my daughter?

I don't remember the last time you called.

I’m the one who always calls.

-How is Deva? -Deva is making me crazy!

Deva doesn't listen to me, we can't even talk...

Dad, did you take the vitamins I sent you?

I did, thank you.

But don't take them in high doses, they may cause diabetes.

You take one.

And keep taking for three months...

Take them for three months then stop taking for a month.

Then you take them for another three months. Don't ignore it.

You didn't listen either.

What?

You didn't listen to us when you were young either.

Is that so?

How would you know?

How would you know? Deva is 16 years old.

When I was 16, it was my fifth year on boarding school.

Remember that you sent me away?

Were you with me?

Was my mother there?

How would you know if I had listened someone or not?

Did you know what I was doing?

Do you know what I'm doing right now? No!

What can I do, my dear. You ran away to the other side of the world, to Australia.

Dad, I'm getting a divorce.

Do you have any idea about this?

Dad, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to. I am very upset.

I’m sorry, please forgive me.

Were you going to say something? Were you...

I propose a toast for Nevra.
