Kaan:"Hey! Yeah, you! C'mere! C'mon, come closer, I won't bite ya. And don't worry, I ain't like the rest of these loonies. (To the farmers) Yeah, I'm talking about you, ya nut-jobs!" Crane:"So you're not one of them? Then why aren't they trying to run you off?" Kaan:"Cause I've got more shit for sale than just bread. Name's Kaan, by the way." Crane:"Kyle Crane." Kaan:"Hey, you're from Harran, right? But you ran into my optically-challenged buddy." Crane:"You mean the guy with an eye missing?" Kaan:"That's the one! My boy Kurt. How's he doing?" Crane:"He, uh... he didn't make it." Kaan:"Well... that's a damn shame, but can't say I'm surprised." Crane:"Maybe you can help me. Kurt said people out here are immune to the virus... You know anything about that?" Kaan:"Now that you mention it, I don't remember any of the locals actually turning... Fuckin' wackos. They're in a damn cult, led by some woman they call the Mother. Used to be just a harmless local tradition, y'know? They weren't serious about it. Well, they're goddamn serious these days. Ever since the outbreak. They scribble symbols everywhere, do these fuckin' rituals. I think they even pray to her..." Crane:"But what about this not-turning thing? They all on Antizin, or what?" Kaan:"Listen... I'm short a man now, and since I'm an entrepreneur, let's do business. Partner up. You and me. (Polat approaches) Buying anything, friend?! (Polat walks away) Freaks..." Crane:"What kind of partnership do you have in mind?" Kaan:"Well, you need some information, and thanks to Kurt gettin' himself deceased, I need a driver with brains. I can show you something that might help you out. But we'll need to get some wheels first." Crane:"You want a vehicle? Out here? Where am I supposed to find that?" Kaan:"I'd look around the nearest farm, I were you. And hey... be discreet about it, all right?"
Kaan:"Oh, forgot to tell ya - if you ain't got none, find yourself some weapons. The farm's a bandit outpost." Crane:"Wait, what? You forgot to tell me this?" Kaan:"Well... they weren't important at the moment. Fucking fleas, you just can't get rid of 'em. No structure, no balls, no knack for business." Crane:"Sounds like we're off to a good start." Kaan:"Aahhh, don't be a drama queen. You can handle 'em. Listen, I gotta deal with some customers. Just gimme a sign once you got the car."
Kaan:"Mother is good. Mother is life. Mother will help us..." Crane:"Kaan? The hell did they do to you, man?" Kaan:"I have been shown the error of my ways! They had opened my eyes to the truth... to the light!" Crane:"Holy shit... talk about drinking the Kool-Aid..." Kaan:"Mother is good. Mother is grace... Mother is life!" Acolyte:"Mother, blessed by the Sun, we praise you." Kaan:"Mother, blessed by the Sun, we praise you." Acolyte:"Mother, embraced by the Wind, we trust you." Kaan:"Mother, embraced by the Wind, we trust you." Acolyte:"Mother, radiant with grace, come to us!" Kaan:"Mother, radiant with grace, come to us!" Acolyte:"Children of the Sun! Accept the Mother's gift and stay true to Her path!" Kaan:"Mother is good. Mother is life. Mother will help us."
Kaan:"Oh shit! It's you! Damn, I could've killed ya..." Crane:"Kaan!?" Kaan:"Yeah. It's me. So turn me loose." Crane:"It was you.... You're working with Rais's bandits?! Where is it, you son of a bitch? Where the hell is the cure?!" Kaan:"What?! You're crazy!" Crane:"Do not fuck with me, Kaan. WHERE IS IT?" Kaan:"Look, man, I just live here, all right? I don't know shit about working with bandits!" Bandit:"(Over radio) Boss. You there? Hello, can you hear me?" Kaan:"(Gets radio pushed to his face) Ehm... Who's speaking?" Bandit:"Chief! There you are! Okay, listen! Hakan and his group are going after the Mother. But some wise-ass took out the granary, and we need to hunt him down. We're waiting by your crib. You coming?" Crane:"No need, pal. Just keep your eye on the balcony." Kaan:"Wait... Wait..." Bandit:"What the hell? Boss!" Kaan:"Listen! I know, I know I went waaaaay overhoard! But they forced me! They made me do it!" Bandit:"It's Crane! Crane's there!" Crane:"Hakan's group! Where are they heading?! Tell me!" Kaan:"To the dam! The priest said the entrance is in the dam! Please!" Crane:"I'm fucking done with you! (Rocket flies by) Oh shit..." Bandit:"Take him! Go! NOW!" Crane:"(Second rocket approaches) Fuuuuuck!" Kaan:"(Rocket hits the lighthouse) Nooo!!! STOP! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? [groans with pain after the fall, moan due to the effort needed to pull his body to the side]"
