- Are you gonna shoot me
or something?

1:00:09
Look, I never heard
about any of this stuff

1:00:11
when I was growing up.
You know?

1:00:15
I did some research
forthe part.

1:00:17
From what I read,
there were deportations and...

1:00:22
Lots of people died.
Armenians and Turks.

1:00:25
It was World War I.
1:00:26
- But Turkey wasn't at war
with the Armenians.

1:00:31
I mean, just like Germany
wasn't at war with the Jews.

1:00:34
They were citizens. They were
expecting to be protected.

1:00:39
That scene you just shot was
based on an eyewitness account.

1:00:42
Your character, Jevdet Bey, the
only reason they put him in Van

1:00:46
was to carry out
the complete elimination

1:00:49
of the Armenian population
1:00:50
in Van. There were telegrams,
there were communiquTs.

1:00:52
- Look, l'm not saying
that something didn't happen.

1:00:58
- Something...
1:00:59
- Look, I was born here.
1:01:03
So were you. Right?
1:01:07
- Yeah.
1:01:10
- This is a new country.
1:01:12
So let's just drop the fucking
history and get on with it.

1:01:18
No one's gonna wreck your home.
1:01:21
No one's gonna destroy
yourfamily.

1:01:25
Hmm?
1:01:27
So let's go inside and uncork
this thing...

1:01:31
and celebrate.
1:01:34
Hmm?
1:01:44
- Do you know what Adolf Hitler
told his military commanders

1:01:47
to convince them
1:01:49
that his plan would work?
1:01:54
'Who remembers the extermination
of the Armenians?'
