"THE HUNGRY WOLVES" "Drop him." "Mustafa you are my eyes." "I am your friend." "I have two kids, Mustafa." "They are your nephews." "They kissed your hand last bairam." "My wing is broken, don't leave me here to the birds and wolves." "We shared the same bread five of us, Mustafa." "When the gendarme's bullets were raining on us we fought together." "Shoulder to shoulder." "I helped you a lot." "We slept under the same roof with them for years." "Mustafa!" "Mustafa!" "Don't leave me behind!" "This son of donkey, this tired dog... denounced us to the gendarmes at the first fall of snow!" "And for what?" "For a box of gunpowder." "To shoot four rabbit and two wolves." "For saying that Aziz was there." "Isn't it you, son of a bitch." "Bring his wife here!" " Is this your husband?" " Yes..." "You are going to be widowed!" "Start looking for another man." "Listen to me!" "You stupid olders of Merdi." "Seven young men of your village are of our hands!" "We hung one of them." "Bring us your valuable things and your money that you are hiding under your pillows and in the stinking beds of your women." "Until it reachs 17.000 lira!" "If you don't bring the money I will decapitate one of them." "If I don't do that I will go to the mountains and die as a itch jackal." "These villagers are despicable." "They will do everything to save their lives." "I screamed to them as loud as I can, but none of them responded." "Are these druses think I am a jackal hunter?" "Or a chichken robber?" "Have you see your villagers?" "None of them said anything." "You fucking shits you know who I am." "I am Beko Avni the one who shakes mountains!" "I am the padisah of the bandits!" "You are not afraid of me, ha?" "You bastards!" "Now I will show you!" "It was a morning." "When your father Reso Agha woke up... it was a sunny morning." "He thanked God for such a morning in winter time." "Not much time passed before the weapons spoke." "That shiny day was painted with blood." "Musto with his man raided the village, killing our villagers." "Leaving their childs orphan." "Our agha was killed." "Your girl with beatifull eyes was hung." "They did nothing to your wife." "But I don't think she will stand that pain..." "I said "you killed everybody, kill me too, what will I respond to our agha?" He said "I will respond him"." "My father Resat Agha was killed by one of his man." "My child has been killed." "My wife is safe." "My pain is big... and without description." "From now on I am the enemy of all bandits." "And I am putting a prize on their heads." "Inform all nearly villages." "It is not wise to put a prize on the head of a bandit, none for the state neither for a bandit." "None for the state neither for a bandit." "The bandit will do what he will do." "I am determined." "Don't move!" "Get down!" "Quickly!" "Musa!" "A fucking shit is still inside!" "Go and get that donkey down!" "Get down!" "Osman Agha has put prices on the heads of the bandits who our threating our lives, our honor and our belongings." "For Mustafa Erenler 10.000." "For Beko Avni 7.000, for Kara Aziz 7.000, for Köse Mahmut 4.000, and for Serçe Mehmet 3.000 lira." "This is going to cause us trouble." "Are we going to fight with them instead of the State?" "When they are going to hear that prices have been put on their heads, they are going to come here to execute us." "Why don't you talk?" "Have you swalloved your tongues?" "You are talking since the morning, just sit down and shut up." "This is true." "While all Aghas are feeding bandits in the mountains, our Agha is doing the right thing." "Right or wrong." "His heart is burning." "His father is dead." "Just sit down and don't talk again." "Now tell me." "Is that right?" " Yes, it's right." " Who give that money?" " Osman Agha." " Trustable?" " Trustable." "Bahri, give that light." "The son of Resat Agha, Osman has sent messages to all villages." "Ordered to put public announcements in every shop and cafes." "He said that for the one who will bring the head of Mustafa he will give 10.000, for the head of Beko Avni 7.000 and for the head of Mahmut 4.000 lira" "He put money on the head of Aziz?" "Yes, 7.000 lira." "Go away woman." "Did Aziz Agha killed your father?" "I hope he'll die." "There is no prize for my head?" "For what?" "For shooting four rabbit?" "You jerk." "What rabbit?" "I shot a man, a man I tell you, and right between his eyes." "Shut up duruse." "I kill you with a single slap!" "Someday they will tear out that head of yours Aziz. 7.000 lira, they say." "No one will exchange his life for 7.000 lira." "Don' think that 7.000 is not much money?" "It's a big prize." "They won't let your head over your body anymore." "Just relax." "The devil can enter the heart, they could kill you in your sleep." "Don't move your foot!" "You son of donkey, why are you staring to me like that?" "You want the prize put on my head?" "Resat, is that you?" "Who are you?" "Azrael." "One night they raided our house." "They beated my husband, they kidnapped me." "Since 3 years I live in the mountains." "I tought about suicide, because I am dishonored." "I couldn't do it." "I can't look to the face of anyone." "They will anything to a woman who spent three months with bandits." "Wait!" "Wait don't go." "Wait." "Wait." "Don't go." "You killed many men." "Can you kill me too?" "Because I have nowhere to go." "Do me that favor." "Do you have some money?" " No." " I don't fire a bullet for free." "Mustafa Erenler killed my father, my child and two of my villagers." "It's his head that you should bring me." "As I see you are a courageous man," "If you are on my side until the end of it I should reward you." "What's your name?" "Why do you care?" "She's my guest." "Take good care of her." "As you wish." "Veli brought us some news." "Osman Agha has put on your head a prize of 10.000." "He sent messengers to all villages." "And one day a man came." "Brown and tall." "He looked at the list and scratched the name of Bandit Mahmut, they say." "And he leaved." "Days passed." "And then he came with the head of Mahmut in a bag ...and throwed it in front of Osman Agha." "The agha has asked him for your head and he begun to think." "He must have think because he was afraid." "I don't think that at all." "They say he is a lion." "Shut up you jackal..." "You think he is Azrael?" "And now he scratched my head is it true?" " Yes he did." "And you know where can we find him?" "Yes." "He did a house using the snow for himself." "Under the Karni Mountain." "A house of the snow?" "Under the Karni mountain?" "A house of snow." "Is he a polar bear or what?" "Beko Avni has take from us four oxes." "And asked for 7.000 lira." "We have the money." "But no one wants to bring the money to them." "They are afraid." "I came here for this reason in your village." "This head hunter," "If we give him the money will he bring the money to the bandits and save our man?" "We tied our hope on these scums." "No one will give even a single lira for them." "If we continue waiting we will die of hunger." "Beko is smart." "Even a sword can't cut his smartness." "He took the girl and lost his reason." "We have no more bread." "If we don't go down to the village we will starve." "We have no choice, we must get moving." "Yes, that's true." "Who is coming?" "Who are you?" "He brought the money." "The money?" "For these shits?" "17,000 lira, ha?" "Who are you?" "Come here." "Who are you?" "What do you care?" "I brought you money." "Hey, what are you going to do?" "Your eyes don't look like normal." "Money. 7,000." "1,000." "2,000." "3,000. 4,000." "5,000." "6,000." "What did you do, scoundrel?" "You see these guys?" "They are not rabbits." "They are men." "You scoundrel." "Do you know me?" "Who I am?" "You don't know me, but you put money on my head." "I'm Aziz, Black Aziz." "I came to claim 7000 liras you put for my head." "That man is not here." "Where is your head hunter?" "I came to plug his head off." "Mother, mother, wake up, the door." "My friends are hungry and tired." "Give some food." "Boil some water." "Bahri is hurt." "Get well soon." "Everything is meaningless now." "Nothing is important." "When I think of it, we wasted our lives for nothing." "I wish she was not dead." "I wish my wife was here with me." "I wish she one of my arms." "I wish she was one of my legs." "Are you married?" "If you were, you would have known what is sharing everything with a woman." "She is in front of my eyes." "Like yesterday." "I am thinking that she's at home waiting for me." "But she is gone." "Now she is under cold and snowy soil." "I know that if she was alive I would have not think that way." "That incident was going to bother me." "I was going to die of shame." "Now everybody sees me as an important man." "But I don' care." "I am going to ask you something." "Have you ever thought about who I am, what I am?" "Where I come from or where I am going?" "What is my place in this big world?" "Do you know these?" "For seven years I am a rifle vomitting blood, a robber, a killer, a criminal still at large..." "A fugitive." "Gendarmes are after me, they have order to kill me at sight." "If they catch me I'll be hung." "Since seven years I am an executioner travelling to cut heads off." "Why am I am an executioner?" "Why I am not bureaucrat taking 300 lira per month and leaving in his sweet home?" "Why am I not a cunning lawyer?" "Why I am not a doctor closing his at six to go to drink some raki?" "Why I am not a bussiness man?" "A driver or an opium smugler?" "Because 8 years before I was a teacher who had come to a village near Siirt filled with the love of his country, joyfull and bold." "I had a wife, I was just married." "What they say about happiness were these days I guess." "And then suddenly all was over." "These good days have gone forever." "Because one night bandits raided our village and took my wife with them." "She lived 9 months in the mountains." "And one day they brought her body, she had comitted suicide." "Suddenly life has lost it's meaning for me." "I understood the unlimitness of love, pain and wrath." "Living was a pain for me." "I was hating everybody." "After that I found myself in the mountains." "I was a weapon vomittng blood." "I begun hunting bandits." "The first time I was caught, I had killed already 11 man.." "I was sentenced to death, I escaped from prison ...and lived seven years in blood, gunpowder, and hate." "I forgot how many man I have killed but my wife is always in my mind." "Every day, every hour, every minute." "Did you understand what I am saying?" "For my wife." "For your wife that you do not accept because of her kidnapping by the bandits." "It touches your honor as a man, isn't it?" "A real man wouldn't leave her alone with a such greart pain." " Aziz?" " It's me." "Father!" "Father!" "Father!" "Father!" "Father!" "He was tall and burnt by the sun." "He was wounded at the Resat Agha's village." "He said "if he wants his young and tender wife he'll come. "" "He will leave traces behind him." "He said you will find him if you follow the Murat's water." "Zehra!" "Zehra, where are you, daughter of a donkey?" "Zehra!" "Where he has gone?" "Tell me, where he now?" "I don't know." "Did he do anything to you?" "Tell me!" "Did he do anything to you?" "Look." "He is there, he is running away." "This scum is not fleeing." "He is looking for a good place to fight with us." "He is a cunning as a fox." "He is not in the pistol range." "He stopped." "He is going to start the fight." "The night is falling." "In the dark we can't get him." "Bahri will take take the left wing, Süleyman the right wing." "Çetin his front." "Don't let him pass, Get near him until you have weapon range." "If we fire from four different places, he will still there." "Yes he will, and forever." "Are you digging your grave?" "Dig large so you can relax." "Çetin, you old jackal, don't fall asleep." "You will freeze and be a meal for the wolves." "You lame bear, I am not an old jackal but an experienced wolf." "The jackal is trapped." "And he doesn't have much time left." "The jackal is trapped, but however your eyes are old." "If you miss him, you will have holes on your body." "They say that an old wolf becomes the figure of fun of the jackals." "There is no figure of fun in what I say." "Be careful." "Don't fall asleep, old jackal." "I don't need advices." "Do your own job." "Çetin!" "Çetin!" "I think Çetin has been shot." "We will wait the morning." "I am looking for someone named Mehmet the Sparrow." "You don't know him?" "He is tall, with devilish eyes." "Oxy and truculent as a hyena." "He is a bandit hunter." "He killed the sons of my uncle." "I have been after him for two years now." "I am sure it's him who killed these." "Gendarms!" "They are around the village." "What will you do now?" "Sparrow Mehmet surrender!" "You are sourrended." "You can't escape." "I am giving you 3 minutes to think about it." "I wish I could save you." "Save yourself first." "Go." "That rascal won't surrender Sir." "We trapped him three times but he always escaped." "This time he can't." "Mehmet the Sparrow!" "I am warning you." "Surrender." "If you don't I will burn down the house with you inside." "Sparrow Mehmet I repeat." "You are sourrended." "There is no way out." "Surrender!" "Your time is up Mehmet." "Surrender!" "THE END"
