Valley of the Wolves: Iraq (Kurtlar vadisi - Irak)

Dear Brother,

on July 4th, 2003...

... in Suleymaniye North-lraq as l was on duty...

for the security of the region with ten of my soldiers,

the American troops,

with whom we drank tea and fought together,

have ambushed our quarters

and pointed their guns at us.

Sir, we're receiving insistent orders not to fight.

Give it to me.

Sir, it's me.

We are 11 people.

We have a machine gun on the roof.

We have the firepower to hit half the

100 Americans and 60 local soldiers.

They aren't intended to make a search, sir.

The guys we served tea are pointing guns at us.

lt is not against us, but against the Turkish nation.

With my 10 soldiers,

l'm waiting for your orders to die, sir!

Sir, l said l'm waiting for your orders to die, sir!

Put your gun down soldier.

Sir...

Son, this is an order, put your gun down!

Search whatever you want, and get out of here!

This is the smoking room. We smoke here.

What the?

Major, it's not safe for our allies outside.

You asked for permission to search the building only.

We will not go out. Kill us if you like.

Don't make any mistakes or else we'll kill you.

My men will take you to headquarters for questioning.

You mean ''interrogation.'' About what?

Well, you'll see.

That's why it's called questioning.

But while you're here why don't you tell me where the C4 is?

We are soldiers.

We are neither detainees nor prisoners.

Your men are not wearing uniforms.

So it's very difficult for us to decide

whether you're soldiers or terrorists.

We cannot know this without questioning you.

You're not wearing a uniform.

You don't have a stripe. You have no authority.

- You're not even a soldier! - l used to be one.

Arrest them!

You have no right to do this.

We're soldiers, don't destroy our dignity.

Major, these men are soldiers and they're very proud.

- Try not to let their faces be seen. - Yes sir.

Turkish headquarters have been raided.

- Who's done it? - Americans.

Move it!

Move it! Move it faster!

Dear Brother...

Everyday in lraq we asked ourselves,

what are we doing here?

Than we noticed that everyone,

who had the power over this region,

has oppressed the people of this land.

Except our ancestors.

On that specific day,

we have not been able to prove ourselves

worthy of our ancestors.

We couldn't die for justice,

for our fight against tyranny,

nor for our honor.

This is just what l ask of you now.

lronic, isn' it?

Your brother Suleyman.

Long live the homeland.

VALLEY OF THE WOLVES lRAQ

- Where are we, Abdulhey? - We're there.

Where is it? l cannot see the red carpet.

You'll soon see the shining red, yellow and green.

Traffic lights, Memati.

Shaving is masculine.

And a beard is feminine.

No matter how hard the beard is,

the brush takes all hardness away.

First, you will nicely soften the beard.

Soften it...

Soften it... Soften it...

- Come on in Ali. - What're you doing?

- Dad. - Where's your mother? Go!

There's a checkpoint ahead.

Are they policemen or soldiers?

Police in the city,

soldiers in the mountain, it's the same.

You remain captive until you tame your ego.

Dad...

Leyla, my daughter...

Don't ever remove this until you're free.

Passports!

You too.

Papers are okay, everything's okay.

Are you Kurdish?

Yes.

Get off, we'll do a search.

He says we should get off, boss.

Let's give him something and go.

We will get off then.

Stand next to the car.

Look inside the car too.

l don't like these guys.

Why are you causing trouble?

Let them do their job, Abdulhey!

What's your name?

lt's in the passport.

l'm asking you!

Polat Alemdar.

What are you here in Erbil for?

Trade.

What trade?

Human trade.

l was told that these things were cheap here!

Lie down, we'll do a search. Lie down!

Lie down! Lie down!

What does he say, Abdulhey?

Lie down.

You will lie down!

lf you're going to do it, do it decently.

l'm not lying down!

Yes you will!

Let's go.

From now on, this is yours.

Very nice.

lt's from my forefathers, very precious.

Since Selahuddin Eyyubi,

men of my ancestors gave this dagger to their wives,

for them to protect our honor.

My son's trust is with me.

My son's trust is with me.

ls this real?

Of course. lt's a thousand years old.

Since when do men give real gifts to women?

Don't be jealous, none of you are married and

you all covet my husband, don't you!

l got my real gift.

Haven't you got anything else?

- Selaam Alaikum. - Alaikum Selaam.

How are you groom?

This is a great honor, you're welcome.

Come on Abu Tarik.

l said my son is your son, you still call him groom!

l'm on the bride's side today.

Your son is my son but

Leyla is my beloved daughter.

No one has opened fire yet, sir.

They will start firing soon. You'll see.

Sir, we've received the lists from Grand Harilton.

The vehicle is in the hotel.

Let's go.

They are terrorists now! Let's go!

Let's go!

Excuse me sir, the gentlemen are from the police station.

- They want to talk to you. - l'm listening.

We will go to the station.

Which station?

Don't cause us trouble, mister.

Which country's station are you inviting me to?

lraqi Kurdistan.

l don't acknowledge you.

Let the owner of this place come and get me.

The building is surrounded. You'll come with me.

Bring me the hotel's manager. Right now!

Or else neither we nor you can leave this place!

ls there a problem?

Who's organized this gathering?

lt's a wedding!

Sorry for bothering you, Mr...

...Fender. Have a seat, please...

Look, Mr. Alemdar...

l don't know what the problem is,

but certainly my hotel is not the place to solve it.

Unfortunately, this is the exact place.

Please sit down and send these men away.

Your customers are being disturbed.

Let's go.

No, not there please, here.

Can l ask you a technical question?

How many main supporting columns

does this hotel have?

- Excuse me? - Let me explain.

Your hotel has six main supporting columns.

When l blow up the first one, we sway.

When l blow up the second, the building starts to bend.

With the third and the fourth one,

the building collapses.

But l also installed C-4 on the other two columns too.

Formalities, you know.

What do you want from me?

First of all, l don't want anyone to get hurt.

Please evacuate the hotel calmly.

Those who're responsible will come with us.

l take the responsibility here.

Sam Marshall is my friend.

You can find nothing here.

lf you must take someone away,

l'll bring that person to you with my own hands.
