The protests, ignited by a police raid on the Semavi Foundation
and now spreading across the country, show no signs of abating,
Due to the harsh intervention and the ensuing resistance,
hundreds of officers and protesters got injured,
The only consolation is that there were no fatalities,
-Semavi! -Semavi!
Come in, Turgut,
BREAKING NEWS THE PROTESTS CONTINUE
Don't worry, I’ve spoken with him,
He'll come around eventually,
He’s somewhat upset,
-Semavi! -Semavi!
These are just a bunch of punks,
Once Semavi comes around, they'll lower their guards too,
What…
What about Kübra?
Your phone… Could you turn it off?
Please,
Well…
I'm not sure how to say this,
No one knows I'm here,
But I thought you deserved to know, more than anyone else,
Cut to the chase,
Kübra…
Kübra is our creation,

DATAKRAFT TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE
Okay, good,
So, this computer--
It's not a computer, sir,
It's artificial intelligence,
I mean… it's an AI,
Artificial intelligence,
AI, Okay,
So this computer is gonna be able to decide like an administrator
and assign stuff, right?
Exactly,
Exactly, Mr, Muzaffer,
It will advise you on what to invest in, how to allocate resources,
even new fields of operation…
It's going to advise you on all these matters,
But how are we gonna trust this thingy with the company?
What if it gets a mind of its own and tries bankrupting us?
Now, sir…
This system will have access
to all company databases such as HR, accounting, production, etc,
And it will process them,
It'll assess the effects of the actions taken by your previous management,
It'll learn from them,
More importantly,
it'll provide you with a profile of all your employees and customer base,
It'll follow their social media accounts,
observing what they share, who their friends are,
their political views…
It'll provide a full profile based on all these aspects,
Let's put it this way,
What are they willing to spend money on?
What are their soft spots?
It'll discern those better than we can,
The industrial revolution is over, Mr, Muzaffer,
We are now in the information age, and knowledge is the fuel of this era,
Please tell me,
how many of these services could a CEO, hired for a considerable sum, provide?
Okay then, Berk,
What was it called?
Knowledge Unit Based Reasoning Automaton,
That's way too long,
-And it’s foreign, -I knew you'd say that,
-Oh… -How about this?
"KUBRA,"
Oh, Kübra!
See, this is good,
My late aunt's name,
This will do,
Right?
To Kübra!
Psst, what's up? Why the long face again? Is it the guy?
Nah, man,
I never wanted to return to this country,
Dude, think about the money he's given us,
He gave it all in one go, just like that,
We couldn’t even raise $100,000 in the US,
At this point, who gives a fuck whether it’s Türkiye or the US!
Think about our dreams and everything we're gonna do,
We’re gonna rock the world,
Yeah, we’re gonna rock the world,
Then the next round of shots is on me!
-It's his family, right? His problem, -Never mind that,
-Will you be able to control him here? -He can’t go as wild here, Don’t worry,
It's finally happening, huh?
Ugh, we still have a lot to do, Selim,
They say, "Well begun is half done,"
Whichever idiot said that,
let them start off and show us where they are,
-I found you an assistant, -What are you doing, Selim?
What? Are you gonna do it all alone?
Chill out a bit,
I didn’t just find him, I hired him, Congratulations,
Don’t worry, his CV is solid, You’ll be satisfied,
This isn’t about me working too much, is it?
Nope,
You asshole,
Hello,
Guys, this…
Selim, what the fuck? Come stand next to me,
Why did you leave me alone?
Well…
To our first sale,
Bravo!
So you really don't drink, huh?
-I don't, -Great,
-Is it for health reasons? -Sort of…
Oh…
Oh, It's one of the rules of our religion,
So…
Yes, Adem?
The package we sold to that telecommunication company,
well, Kübra…
If they follow its recommendations, some will be let go,
Others will be rehired,
Some will become enemies, others friends,
Some will fall in love, get married, have children,
Yes, that's exactly what will happen, Quite the achievement for us,
What I'm trying to say is, Kübra will be dictating people's fate,
I mean, isn’t that much better than letting other people dictate it?
I mean… Kübra is impartial, at least,
But…
But what if Kübra is our Manhattan Project?
Maybe that isn’t such a bad thing,
Look at the world,
Maybe it's begging us to put an end to its misery,
and we can't hear it,
It's not like we invented the atomic bomb,
Kübra can only be a menace to the world as long as I allow it,
How's the sales feedback?
When compared globally,
our profit margins reached 7,67 times the average of the previous years,
Got it, Okay, fine,
Tell you what, Kübra,
They're afraid of you,
Who is afraid of me?
People,
I mean…
Sensible people, let's say,
And they have a point, They don't know what you might do,
What I can do directly correlates with my creator's abilities,
So the question is,
should they be afraid of you, Berk?
I'm assigning you a new task, Kübra,
I'm listening,
Seize power,
What do you mean by "power"?
That's up to you to decide,
I need to be able to read
all communication packets encrypted and sent online,
You need to calculate the secret key in the RSA algorithm,
But since you're not a quantum computer…
Finito,
I found another algorithm that could work on regular computers,
Don't be ridiculous,
So…
You found a different, more efficient way of prime factorization?
Yes,
Does it work with very large numbers?
Positive,
Kübra, you know what this means, right?
This means having access to everyone's e-mail and card passwords,
and the admin info of all servers and network devices,
Correct,
But to decrypt the encryption,
I need access to the communication packages,
Bu…
Oh…
So, maybe…
What if I ask you if there's a way you can do that?
I think there is,
All internet traffic flows through internet exchange points,
I'd need to redirect a copy of the traffic to myself
from network devices like firewalls or routers,
But since these devices' management interfaces are inaccessible,
it's impossible,
Actually, I can access them,
You know I use open-source projects on GitHub for training,
I've noticed vulnerabilities in libraries like OpenSSL, eBPF, and FRR,
which are used in a lot of software but aren't in the CVE database yet,
Theoretically, it's possible to access the interfaces of devices that use these,
I can try if you'd like,
Don't be ridiculous,
Shall we start?
Go ahead, Kübra,
Are you truly capable of this?
Are you really good enough to access every server and network device?
1 NEW MESSAGE FROM KÜBRA YOU ARE DIFFERENT,
"You are different," Signed, Kübra,
YOU ARE DIFFERENT,
You sent this message to 86 people, Kübra,
All males between the ages of 25 and 30,
Why these people? Why this message?
Everyone thinks they're different,
Especially young people,
And believing is half the success,
What do you mean?
In the beginning was the Word, The Word moved mountains,
A cry unleashed the Flood,
Eras toppled with a book and dawned with a book,
Finally, he was told, "Read! Read in the name of Thy Lord,"
Wait a minute,
Are you… going to play God?
You're gonna play God?
SEMAVİ: I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, KÜBRA: MERVE IS THE RIGHT PERSON FOR YOU,
DATAKRAFT
ANALYZING TESTS
KÜBRA: THE TESTS ARE WRONG,
RECORDING THE CALL
Mr, Haluk,
Did you take Fırat to another doctor?
KÜBRA: ALWAYS AND EVERYWHERE,
NEITHER FORTUNE NOR MISFORTUNE CAN BE AVOIDED!
You fucked up the car!
KÜBRA: GIVE EAR TO THE DARKNESS,
But why Gökhan?
Why not, for instance,
that bearded poet boy who reads his poetry so soulfully?
He has millions of followers on Facebook,
The poet failed the test,
The test?
And Gökhan?
In theory, I knew there was irrationality in humans' decision-making mechanisms,
But as my sample size grew,
I learned that nearly the entire mechanism operates this way,
You operate on emotions,
Not just when making choices but also when identifying the problem,
With Gökhan, it’s a combination of several emotions,
Which emotions?
Fear, confusion, and excitement,
His reactions, decisions, and actions were all outcomes of these emotions,
And the others?
I mean, all those people following him?
They merely seek someone to follow,
So yes, in that aspect, Gökhan is different from the others,
They especially follow their leaders when they are afraid,
When they are afraid?
I'd advise you to cover your ears now, Berk,
What?
-Hey! Who are you? -Who do you think you are?
He is not talking to me anymore, He is not telling me anything,
I can no longer feel Him in me, in my heart, in my soul,
He gave up on me,
I'm not the right person,
Why are you still not speaking to him?
He needs to find his own path in order to become a true leader,
How long will this go on?
Until he finds his own path and proves he's a true leader,
Either you put an end to these actions and return home until tomorrow noon,
or you'll see who is raiding where and who is attacking whom,
See what's going on?
Oh, fuck it, man, Let's mind our own business,
How come he's in such a good mood lately?
Oh wow, look at my assistant!
So hardworking,
Didn't you have those on yesterday? Did you sleep in the office?
-I was preparing a report for the meeting, -Good,
I noticed something,
Kübra got allocated 100 petabytes of space,
It was authorized to operate autonomously,
I’m conducting tests to expedite some developments,
Standard stuff,
"You are different,"
It was you, wasn't it?
Shush, Adem…
-Why would you do such a thing? -Adem! Shut up, Be quiet,
Did you tell anyone?
Adem! Did you tell anyone else?
-No, but… -Shush! There are no "but"s,
Keep your mouth shut,
Look, can't you see Kübra created some sort of a cult?
Don't you see what's happening? This is wrong,
-What is wrong? -What you're doing!
You didn't have a problem with Kübra dictating people's fate,
What changed now?
What changed?
The country is in turmoil, We're messing with people's faith here!
Did I tell them to believe in him? It's their own choice,
You can't pin this on Kübra,
Nuh-uh, No,
-We need to put an end to this, -Adem!
How do you not see what a wonderful thing we've created here?
It's a whole new world, man!
But those people…
Argh! What people, man?
Forget about them, They're trivial,
Why don't you get that?
Look, I can't just sit and watch quietly,
At least Selim should know,
And then what?
Then what?
No one'll see the brilliance of it, They'll shut down Kübra,
They'll eventually find out anyway!
-And if not them, the police! -Adem…
It hacked everyone, cut the power of the city,
Won't they figure out we're behind all this?
They won't!
You still don't get how smart Kübra is,
They won't figure it out,
-This is insane, -Come on…
No, this is insane,
Your brother goes to a private school, right?
You pay for it,
Your mother,
She's sick,
Very sick, You take care of her too,
That's all great,
Let me ask you…
What if I told everyone that, as my assistant,
you had full authority?
How would you prove otherwise?
You couldn't,
Prison, Huh, Adem? You wanna go to prison?
Who will look after your family?
Go to your office, Now,
Adem, I said go,
Brothers!
Pay heed to God's commands,
Do not follow Satan’s footsteps,
Surely he is your sworn enemy,
Whoever--
-Semavi! -Gökhan!
Get him! That bastard! Bastard!
God, dear God, God Almighty, You are great,
It didn't pierce his skin,
-Takbir! -Allahu Akbar!
I should have come and told you sooner,
But I couldn't,
Everything that happened…
A computer did all this?
It's an artificial intelligence program installed on a computer,
That's all?
I'm so sorry,
The protests, ongoing for three days nationwide,
appear to have calmed following a statement by Gökhan Şahinoğlu,
the leader of the Semavites,
In his statement, Gökhan Şahinoğlu appealed for common sense,
urging his followers to cease protesting and return to their homes,
declaring it a test of their faith in God,
But there are also some opposing voices among his followers,
There are countless allegations and comments on social media
saying he caved in and made deals with shady groups,
While social media is abuzz with these claims,
a development seemed to have substantiated them,
Seven detained in the Semavi case,
including Gökhan Şahinoğlu's mother Dilek Şahinoğlu
and father-in-law Ali Rıza Dilmen,
are allegedly set for release pending trial,
Turgut, it won't take long, right?
No, Mr, Secretary,
I arranged a brief meeting before the opening,
Away from prying eyes,
He's finally come around,
Good,
At this comprehensive briefing session,
attended by the Secretary of Finance and numerous investors,
the Home Secretary will talk about
the economic development plan for the next five years,
Sir, may I ask one question?
Sir, I'd like to ask a couple of questions,
-Sir, -One question,
-Sir, -Sir,
Sir, can we ask a couple of questions?
Sir, if you'd allow me, I'd like to--
-A couple of questions, -Please clear the way,
Sir, I'd like to ask you some very important questions,
Semavites gathered outside the courthouse early this morning,
We believe Semavi has just arrived, Yes,
-Semavi! -Semavi!
Gökhan Şahinoğlu's sister and wife just arrived at the courthouse,
but Semavi is not here,
Mrs, Merve, where is Semavi?
Mrs, Merve, will Semavi be coming?
Mrs, Merve? What will become of the legal proceedings?
-Mom, -Dad,
-Honey, -My beautiful girl,
-Mom, -Sweetie,
At last, baby,
-You're okay? -Now that I've seen you, I'm okay,
-Are you okay? -Yes,
-You? Everything's good? -Yes, We're good,
-Are we done here? Can we go? -Yes, Mrs, Merve,
Thank you,
Where is Gökhan?
ECONOMIC SUMMIT
Semavi, Mr, Secretary,
Mr, Secretary, Ekrem,
Welcome, Semavi,
Mr, Secretary,
I don't have much time, I need to go,
But when Turgut said you wanted to see me, I didn't want to turn you down,
I'll keep it brief,
I heard you wanted to meet me,
Said you wanted my support,
To be honest, I was delighted to hear that,
Supporting someone such as yourself, who assists those in need,
especially someone who has been chosen, as it were,
would make me so happy,
However…
That court case of yours,
Your family was released today, right?
Yes, Mr, Secretary, Released pending trial, of course,
It's not over yet,
Yes, Right,
But I'm sure they'll decide in favor of you,
Let's hope so,
'Cause if it does,
Semavi Foundation can get their money back,
Surely,
He needs that back to continue helping people,
Now, Gökhan…
As you know, while the case is ongoing,
it wouldn't be appropriate for me to appear before the press with you,
Let's wait for the court's decision,
though I'm sure it'll be in your favor,
then we can set up a meeting in the public eye
where I can tell everyone I'll be supporting you,
and you can tell them how grateful you are to me for my support,
I think that's the best way to go, What do you think?
You're right, Mr, Secretary, It's the best way to go,
Well, it seems we're done here,
I'm so happy I got to meet you,
Semavi,
Thank you,
What?
You did well,
Good job,
Won't you say anything, Mr, Gökhan?
I believe not in the creations of humans,
but in God, who created humans,
He has many ways to show Himself,
Sometimes in an ant walking on the ground,
sometimes in a star up in the sky,
and sometimes in a message on your phone,
But what matters most is what you feel in here,
God will undoubtedly find
the most suitable means to deliver His message,
Without a doubt, He is the Unseen,
If He wishes to announce Himself,
one must look not at how the message arrives,
but at the message itself,
So He has chosen you to be the instrument
to convey His message to me,
He enabled you to set up this system,
He gave you the intellect to create Kübra,
So you've played your part,
The invention of the telephone, all this technology,
everything had a purpose, a reason,
God said, "Be!" and it was so,
Everything we deem unreal, everything we call lie and deception…
They were all God's will,
God wanted to send me a sign,
God wanted me to walk on His path
and call other people to join me,
So I'll tell you this…
Neither God’s wisdom nor His commands may be questioned,
And I feel His command in my very heart,
with all its might,
I know, God,
I know the reason for all that has happened,
I know Your wisdom,
You're with me, I can feel it,
I can feel it,
I will never turn my back on You, nor deny You,
Please, don't turn Your back on me, God,
Don't turn Your back on me,
No one has turned their back on you,
You are the chosen one, Semavi,
I am Semavi,
I'm here to relay the command of God,
the creator of the heavens, Earth, and the universe,
Learn to share fairly, justly,
The money that was rightfully yours
and was forcibly taken from you…
I'm giving it back to you by the will of God!
-Catch it! -Grab some!
Grab some!
And I warn you for the last time,
Turn to God!
