In September 2012, the film gained notoriety in a viral video on YouTube that features the main character Zeynep (played by Akın) fatally shooting antagonist Ferruh (played by Bülent Kayabaş[4]) multiple times as he lets out several drawn-out screams before dying. The video, entitled "Worst movie death scene ever", had gained more than 17 million views since being uploaded on 26 September 2012 before being deleted on copyright grounds.[4][5][6][7] The clip was edited from the original to add the long screams.[8]

The fugitives are arrested but Zeynep wants to take revenge, therefore she says that the fugitives are not the ones who have attacked them. The police appoints Murat to make her give a statement.
