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]

Plot

Zeynep lives with her old father. She has lost her ability to speak because of an accident. She needs an operation in order to be able to talk again. One day, five prison fugitives come to their house and kill Zeynep's father. The fugitives take their money and attack. Due to the shock, Zeynep regains her ability to speak. 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. Murat teaches her how to use a gun and some karate, but she still doesn't know he is a cop. They fall in love and decide to get married. On their wedding, the prisoners kill Murat.
