A NETFLIX SERIES
[waves crashing]
[dramatic music plays]
Take me with you, please. Please.
Take me.
CRETE, 1924
Take me with you. Take me with you. Please, take me with you.
You have to take me with you.
Halit. Halit, please.
I beg you. Take me. Halit, take me with you.
Please, please, Halit.
Eleni, you can still stay, but we're exiled from Crete.
Halit, please, don't do this.
Halit, how can you say this to me?
We're neighbors, Halit. Take me with you. Take me with you.
We're not neighbors now, Eleni.
Listen to me. We're no longer wanted here.
We need to escape, and we have no place for you, no place on this boat.
Don't do this, Halit, please.
Halit, please take me with you. I'm begging you to take me with you.
Please, Halit.
They took my husband and my children.
They left me here.
Just because they're Turkish and I'm Greek.
How could I… How could I ever find them if I don't go after them?
Please, please. Take me to them. I'm begging you, Halit, please.
[Eleni panting]
[woman singing in Turkish]
I beg you, please.
[woman continues singing]
[theme music plays]
[Zaman] All right, what we're going to do here today
is called Expanding the Origin Family.
Our aim is to get to the bottom of our current problems,
our worries, our troubles, uh… and some of our painful endless spirals.
And through all that, be able to get much more in touch
with our feelings and deeper emotions.
All right.
-[whispers] What are you doing here? -I could ask you the same thing.
Shh.
[Zaman] This is, um,
not drama class, and it's not a game
or psychodrama therapy.
What this is, is a spiritual practice.
And, soon enough, you're going to experience it yourselves
and get to see that.
-Can we maybe talk after this? -Shh.
[Zaman] Let both your feet touch the ground, hands at your side.
Now tell us your name.
Leyla.
Perfect. Leyla. Uh…
Today's practice will be about Leyla.
Um, now you need to pick someone to represent you.
Doesn't matter if they're a woman or a man.
[Leyla] Um…
This guy.
[clears throat]
[water burbling]
[breathes deeply]
[water splashing gently]
[wood creaking]
[inhales]
[exhales]
[exhales deeply]
All right, how are you? How's Leyla?
[choking]
[breathes deeply, shivers]
[Fiko] I'm not okay.
I'm drowning.
Oh, sir.
When I try to walk into the water, I can't…
I mean, this is exactly what happens to me. Yeah.
-[Zaman] You don't need to say sir. Okay? -[Leyla] What he said.
[exhales]
[sighs]
[Zaman] Pick someone to be that drowning feeling.
Uh… Okay, let's see. Who could I…?
Um…
-Ada. -Okay.
[Zaman] All right. Come here, Ada.
No. [chuckles]
Thank you, but I'm good. Acting is really not my forte.
Okay, you can leave if you don't want to take part in this.
[whispers] Hey.
-[sighs] -Okay, come with me.
Over here.
Just right here. All right.
Now close your eyes.
You are Leyla's drowning feeling.
[Ada] Mm.
[Zaman] Repeat to yourself what and who you represent,
and when you're ready you can open your eyes.
And, once your eyes are open, you can…
you can do whatever feels right,
and act however you would like to in this space. Okay? Go on.
[wind gusts]
[rattles]
[Ada thinking] What the hell is this place?
I'm "Leyla's drowning feeling"?
[groans softly] This is crazy.
Is the ground shaking?
This is ridiculous. What's the point?
[Zaman] And how are you?
Leyla's drowning feeling, how are you?
[Zaman] Hm?
[groans softly]
-What's wrong? -[groans]
I… have this ache in my head.
[Ada groans, coughs]
[coughs]
Let me ask you… Uh, on your mother's side,
do you know if anyone in your family drowned?
-Um… -[Ada coughs]
My, uh… my mother's family is from Crete.
-My mother's grandmother, she was Greek. -Mm-hm.
-My great-grandfather was Turkish. -Mm.
And, when they left Crete, they left by boat during the population exchange.
But then, on their way back…
[melancholy music plays]
-[water splashes] -[Halit] Eleni.
Eleni, a chest went overboard. Could you pull it up?
Okay, Halit. Don't worry. I'm gonna get it for you.
[Eleni] Where is it?
Halit?
I can't see it.
-Are you sure it fell over? -[grunts]
[music intensifies]
[Leyla] A while after that, a body washed up onto the shore,
and people said that it looked like her.
Some people thought she was killed and robbed of the gold she was carrying.
Others thought she just fell and drowned.
Either way, my great-grandfather spent his entire life waiting for her.
Her name was Eleni.
[breathes haltingly]
[Ada thinking] I… I can't breathe.
All right.
Now pick one more person.
[Leyla] Uh…
Toprak.
[Zaman] Fine.
Come up here, Toprak.
Come. Stand right here.
Only you know what or whom you represent. Okay?
Come with me.
Here.
[Zaman] How do you feel? Huh? Hm?
What's the first thing you feel like doing right now?
-First thing that comes to mind? -[Ada] Mm.
What do you feel like doing?
I feel like I want to hurt him.
Then go ahead.
[Ada grunts]
-Good. -[grunts loudly]
Okay.
This man is the reason why you're dead.
He's the one who caused you all this pain.
[Sevgi] Where are you going?
We've had enough of this bullshit. We're going back to Istanbul, Sevgi.
[Sevgi] But that was not our deal.
[Ada scoffs] What do you mean?
I sat through all of that crazy bullshit for you. You know I did.
Ada, it wasn't even your turn yet. Come on.
Don't you see that guy's clearly a scammer?
I'm gonna report him and get this place shut down.
Hey, wait a second. Chill.
What do you mean, you'll report him?
Ada, you really don't get it, do you?
Either we go back to Istanbul, or I'm gonna report that idiot.
These are your only options.
[sighs]
Okay, but we should at least find Leyla.
Where is she?
Mm, mm.
[cell phone chiming]
Oh.
Hey, Sevgi?
Where are you? Why'd you storm out?
[Sevgi] Yeah, it's Ada. I guess we're going back to Istanbul.
-I told her we should wait for you. -No. No, no. It's okay. Don't wait for me.
I'll just stay in the village. I think it'll be a nice vacation for Sarp too.
And what about Erdem?
Erdem? Yeah, I'll tell him. It's not a big deal.
But, listen, drive carefully,
and make sure that you call me when you get there,
'cause I'm gonna be worried.
Okay, bye-bye. Love you. Yeah, bye.
[sighs] Erdem.
Erdem, where are you now?
Leyla?
-Toprak? -Are you all right?
Well,
I don't really know.
I'm just so shocked.
Don't you think what happened back there was weird?
-Have you been to this place before? -Yeah, I have been.
Hm.
It's just weird to see you again.
I mean, here of all places.
But you look really great.
-Thanks, you look good too. -[Leyla chuckles]
-Did Ada leave? -She did.
They're headed back right now.
Ada was really annoyed with that whole session, honestly.
[chuckles] I could tell.
Uh, Leyla, can I ask you a favor?
Sure, yeah.
Could I get Ada's number?
Uh…
[sighs] Toprak, that's not a very good idea.
I need to talk to her.
Hm.
Come on.
Why the hell are all of you leaving in such a hurry right now?
If I had known, I would have come with you.
Muko, we…
Sevgi needs to have tests done. But you know she's safe with me, right?
I made these for Zaman, but it's your lucky day.
-Thank you so much, Mommy. [kisses] -You made these for Zaman?
Why is suddenly Zaman such a hotshot?
Muko, you got caught in this trap too now?
What trap, Ada?
For heaven's sake, my girl's feeling better thanks to that place.
All I did was make him some stuffed zucchini blossoms.
Sevgi's feeling better because of the treatment she's been getting.
-Zaman clearly has nothing to do with it. -Of course, whatever you say, Doctor.
Either way, I'm just happy that my sweet daughter is feeling better.
-Aw, Mom. Okay. Oh. [kisses] -Okay, okay, have a safe trip.
[Muko kisses] Call me when you get there.
-[Ada] We'll call when we get back. -Goodbye.
-[Muko] Call me. Bye. -[Sevgi] We'll see you later.
[Muko] Come on, come on. We need to splash some water.
Come on. Good. Wait right here.
Ah, God, some good news, please.
Pour it. Yes. Goodbye.
[line rings]
[automated voice] The person you've called can't be reached at the moment.
Where are you, Erdem? Where the hell are you?
[clears throat]
[cell phone chimes]
Greetings to you from gorgeous Cunda.
I've just had one of the most interesting experiences of my entire life.
I'm not at liberty to tell you much about it yet,
but I just wanted to pop on here and say this.
Running away from things doesn't work.
Turning off your phone, disappearing into thin air,
all those things are terrible ways to try and solve your problems.
[chuckles]
Anyway, Cunda is really amazing.
And I'll be sure to upload a video with all the details very soon.
Kisses to all of you, my dears.
[kisses] Bye.
[cell phone chimes]
[Sevgi] Okay, you don't believe it.
How do you explain what happened back there?
Oh, come on. Stop it, for God's sake. That was all bullshit.
Ada, what you call bullshit is something that's practiced all over the world,
and so many people have actually benefited from it, so let it be.
What, so are you that guy's lawyer now?
You think it's about Zaman, honey?
This is about you denying everything
you can't immediately wrap your head around.
Because we have reason and science. What about those things?
Who said anything against science, man?
"You've got cancer because of daddy issues."
"Oh, Leyla's something and something of her great-great-grandmother's."
[groans]
I just don't understand why you care so much about all this shit.
-Why are you so angry about this? -I'm not angry. I'm disappointed.
I'm disappointed 'cause you act like
the years I spend studying medicine are worthless.
Maybe these…
these diseases are just trying to teach us something.
Maybe I should stop fighting cancer, and I should start thanking it.
-Try something new, huh? -Huh?
[Sevgi] Mm.
Sevgi, do you even hear yourself?
You can't…
You can't honestly think
I should thank cancer for taking my dad's life.
Seriously, I have absolutely no idea where you're coming from right now.
[groans] Let it go, Ada. Never mind. Let's just drop this please.
I know how it goes.
You know everything best, and you're always right.
[soft music plays]
[Ada] Sevgi had a point. I was angry.
As a doctor, I couldn't explain what happened back there.
The aching I felt, the pain coming out of me, the anger.
I'm not gonna lie.
It all seemed so intense and intimidating at first.
[sniffles, exhales]
[music continues]
[Zaman] And what do you feel right now? Huh?
I'm…
I don't care much.
Then why don't you tell her?
I'm your killer.
-But I don't-- -Look at her. Just look her in the eyes.
You've been carrying this pain with you for years.
Are you ready to put an end it now?
No, I won't do that.
[music continues]
And then he passed the last piece of his meatball
over to her with his paw.
Bibi and Fifi had finally found peace.
When is Dad coming back, Mom?
[Leyla] Oh, baby.
Just go to sleep, please.
I want to see my dad again.
I don't want to stay in this gross place anymore.
Hey, Sarp.
I told you your dad was away for work.
He's gonna make some money,
and we'll go back to our own home very soon.
Besides, we're on a vacation, aren't we?
And listen, you can't call other people's homes gross. That's rude.
But it's gross.
-Don't they have help in this house? -[sighs]
Honey, just go to sleep.
Sleep, and the morning will come.
Maybe your dad will call you in the morning.
Come on. Close your eyes. Close your eyes, baby.
[kisses]
I'll get some water and be right back, okay?
Close your eyes.
[gasps]
Ah! [sighs]
You scared me to death. God!
Sometimes this place is like a haunted house.
What happens if Sevgi's results are bad?
What if she gets worse, again?
Oh, Muko, here.
Come on.
How about I make you some tea?
Come on, darling. Let's go.
[sighs]
Maybe I should hop on a bus over there, so she isn't all by herself.
Muko, listen.
You have to let the girl be.
I'm begging you.
Look, she's a strong attorney.
She knows how to take care of herself.
That's easy for you to say.
You don't know what I'm going through.
I didn't raise my kid with a bunch of nannies.
You don't need to worry about me.
Sarp's probably not gonna grow up with nannies, anyway. I'll tell you that.
[sighs] Do you let him watch a lot of movies?
You wouldn't believe what he's been telling me all day.
His dad ran away and took all the money.
You don't have a place to live. You're out on the streets. Good God!
Leyla.
I know Erdem never gives you a breather, normally.
He'd have called 40 times.
Is something wrong?
Muko, look.
Please don't tell the girls about this. They have no idea what's going on, okay?
Oh, honey. I promise. Come on.
Tell me what's going on.
[sighs]
[cell phone chiming]
INCOMING CALL FROM MOM…
[chiming stops]
[soft music plays]
[Zaman] Can you give her back what was rightfully hers?
[music continues]
Can you take back from him what belongs to you?
And now, with only one step, you can get out of this expansion.
[Zaman] Good.
I'll be outside.
You can just call me if you need anything.
-Ada? -Hm?
What… what if you were right, and the test results were false?
Sevgi, I didn't say that to make you upset.
No, I know, honey. I know that, but…
but just, sometimes being too technical doesn't make me feel better, Ada.
You're just trying to fix everything by making me take my meds,
or putting me in a hospital, but…
Nobody ever asks me how I actually feel.
Nobody asks me what makes me feel good deep down.
I'm so sorry. You are right.
I never ask you what made you feel good.
-You know what made me feel super good? -[chuckles ] What was that, huh?
Getting a new perspective made me feel good.
Cunda's good for me.
Well, I mean, a slow, quiet, anxiety-free life is good for me.
The sun is good for me, and maybe stuffed zucchini blossoms
are also good for me.
[chuckles] You're crazy.
And remembering my dad was such a blessing, honestly.
I mean, despite the pain, it felt good to revisit that day.
His words made me feel so wonderful inside.
That's why I wanted you to come with me there.
Because you're like me, honey.
You always try to heal everyone.
Like you have no wounds of your own.
I've been thinking about your father since the moment I was diagnosed.
-About you, Belgin as well. -Hey, don't be silly. Come on.
Your condition is nothing like my dad's at all.
You're going get better. You hear me?
[assistant] We're ready, doctor.
Okay, it's time.
-Let's go. -[sniffles]
This won't take long, so nothing to worry about.
Afterwards, go home and get some rest.
And then we'll meet at my place, okay? Careful.
-And I will be cooking for you tonight. -Oh God, we'll starve then.
[chuckles] Idiot.
-[Sevgi] Ada? -Hm?
-[kisses] -[kisses]
[Ada] Mm-hm.
Doctor, the chief of staff wants to see you in his office.
[Chief of Staff] Congratulations, Ada.
And we'd be happy to have you back when you return from Brussels.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
This says I'm not allowed to have a baby for two years.
Oh, yes, that's one of the terms,
but you're gonna be working with the top experts in the field.
And if you bail out to have a baby after six months,
all this would be in vain.
You understand, don't you?
Here you go. We're extremely proud of you.
Mm.
Well, I believe I've taken much of your time already,
so I'll take this home. I'll sign it after I celebrate with Selim.
Thank you very much for everything.
-Thank you for your support. -Of course, of course.
How are you, babe?
How is Sevgi?
[Ada] We had a PET scan done.
We'll have results tonight.
Let me know when you get them. I'm worrying.
Work's not finished. I can't come back before tomorrow.
Selim, I heard back from Brussels.
They sent me a contract. I got the job.
Wow.
Really?
Congratulations.
You were the best choice for sure.
Selim, please. Please don't do this now.
I know you're upset with me, and I won't be comfortable doing this.
Why would I be upset?
Come on. That's silly.
You told me a long time ago this was important to you,
and you really had to go.
What more can I say now?
By the way, you should know that I can't leave.
We have at least two years of work here.
Well, it's not so far, anyway. I mean, come on. It's just a three-hour flight.
You're right.
Honey, I should probably go.
They're calling me right now. We'll talk about this when I get back.
Congratulations.
-[baby cooing] -[soft music plays]
Ayça, hello, yeah. I would just like a minute of your time, if you don't mind.
Sevgi, you don't need to extend your medical leave.
We've already started the dismissal process.
What? I'm not following.
You know, because of your condition. It's been affecting the clients as well.
But, don't worry, you'll get your severance package.
Ayça, I've been working for you for six years,
and you're just going to fire me over the phone,
and you're not even gonna ask me about how I'm doing?
I'll send you an email.
A client's been asking for you specifically.
Since you're not working for us anymore, you can take the client independently.
I hope you get well.
Wait a second. Hold on. Hold on a minute.
I actually have a few words for you, too, if you'll allow me.
I don't have much time.
No, no. Don't worry. I'll be very brief.
Go fuck yourself, Ayça! You hear me?
Fuck your case and fuck your email and fuck all of this fucking shit.
"Erdem Işık"?
[automated voice] Leyla Işık, your credit card payment
is currently overdue.
[cell phone beeps]
Next message.
[man] Hello, I'm calling from Sarp's school.
You were supposed to make a payment for his re-enrollment.
[sighs]
[cell phone chiming]
Hello?
Honey, did you get the results back?
Leyla, where is Erdem?
Beats me. Why do you ask?
Well, look, if he calls you, or if you happen to learn where he is,
call the police immediately.
Don't try to hide it, or you'll be in trouble too.
Sevgi, what's going on?
They've issued a warrant for Erdem.
[gasps]
[sighs]
Why am I seriously not surprised at all? That's just typical Erdem, as always.
Ada, can you please just drop it?
Oh, sure. Let's drop it. Yeah, we'll just drop it. Sure, sure.
No way, Leyla. Of course we are not dropping this.
How could you not tell us?
And you're saying the guy's been missing for a month?
You're kidding me, right?
Sevgi, honey, we all have our problems.
I didn't wanna smother you with all this mess.
Also, how could I have known it would turn into such a huge deal?
He said he'd take care of it.
And that moron is actually trying to hire me as his lawyer.
The guy's nowhere to be found, but he's given me power of attorney.
I checked his file, and there's aggravated fraud,
contraband, tax evasion…
I mean, you name it, girlfriend.
Let's just drop this, please.
Seriously, I'm suffocating. I've had enough of this.
Please, just tell me some kind of good news or something.
The great general surgeon, the lovely Ada Korkmaz,
is going to Brussels.
Oh.
-You're kidding me! -Mm-hm.
-What did Selim say about that? -What do you think? He's thrilled for me.
Ada, don't be ridiculous.
How can you keep a relationship going
while you two live in different countries for so long?
-I mean, the guy's got a libido. -That's not even the real issue.
Ada's not allowed to have kids for two years. Did you know that?
But Selim wants kids, though. What's she gonna do?
Come on, ladies. You really think Selim wouldn't understand this?
He's on my side, and he supports me. We're fine. We're good.
I feel like this is just an excuse.
I mean, you don't want kids, so this job's a way to justify it.
[Ada] Leyla, honey, you dropped your psych degree in senior year, right?
So you're not exactly a therapist.
-Mom! Muko won't give her phone to me. -Cut it… [sighs]
-That boy is such a handful. -Go sit down, now.
Actually, I'm taking back everything I said,
I really do think moving to Brussels is a great idea.
[cell phone chiming]
Wait, girls, it's the hospital calling.
The hospital? [gasps]
-Okay. -Oh God.
-Come on. Oh God, please, some good news. -Oh/
[suspenseful music plays]
I'm listening.
And you've already emailed them to me, yes?
All right.
It's clean.
-[gasps] -It's clean, sweetie.
[sobs]
There are only some small lesions.
-Oh God, thank you. -No metastasis. It's clean.
[exclaims] Sevgi's all right, Muko. Sevgi's okay.
Good riddance. We can finally stop worrying.
-Finally. [kisses] -Sevgi. [whimpers]
Oh, my Sevgi. My sweet girl.
[sobs]
It's clean.
[both giggling]
[Sevgi] Mom.
Mom. It's okay. It's over.
It's all over now. It's all gone, Mom.
[Toprak] Ah, come on.
Tackle him, tackle him. Come on.
-[yells] Goal. Goal, man. -[Toprak] Goal. Goal.
-Beat 'em. Hell yeah! -My man! We scored, my man.
We finally did it. It's because of you. You bring good luck.
You're gonna be here with me for every game.
Forget about the whistle. This is finally over.
[Toprak] Don't count on me, man. I'll be gone soon.
-When are you heading back? -Oh…
I'm hoping for next week.
-Hmm. -Just a few more documents for the visa.
I'm waiting on those.
Like hell you're waiting on those.
[both chuckle]
Nothing escapes you, bro.
-Hey, would you like some? -No.
-Nothing for you? -Some water.
Yeah, well…
I was pretty shaken up yesterday.
[clears throat]
It's so weird that I was there with Ada after all these years.
The two of us, just standing there.
I'm the killer. She's the victim.
That a coincidence?
I wouldn't know that.
Do you think that it was?
I see, brother.
No talk off-premises.
What happens there, stays there.
I've closed up shop for today.
[chuckles] I get it, bro.
-Zaman, hey, what can I get you? -What? Nothing.
-Culuk, clean up the table. -Wait. No.
-This is embarrassing. -We're good here.
No, just sit down. What are you doing? Don't bother him.
No, man, my ass is on fire.
I booked some players, and they bailed last minute.
I have a group of 30 people coming in.
When you say players, are you talking about musicians?
[Zaman] Are you in need of musicians?
Don't look at me, man.
Well, Sevgi,
whatever you've been doing the past month, keep it up.
I mean, whatever it is, it's obviously very good for you.
[chuckles]
And, uh, she still needs to keep taking her medication, Doctor, correct?
That's right, you'll need to continue taking your oral medication,
and we'll be scheduling regular checkups throughout the next few months.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
I'm so grateful to you. I can never repay you for this.
[chuckles]
Now, you need to make sure not to skip any of your medications.
Also, be mindful of your sleep schedule and diet.
Then we'll take another look at it next month.
-How does that sound to you, hm? -Okay…
Oh! And I live in Ayvalık now, and I'd love to have you over.
Come visit us. Please, you should come.
I'm very happy for you, Sevgi.
Honestly, I think it's good you got rid of that job.
Yeah, I agree. [giggles]
-Thank you so much for everything. -You're welcome.
-Thank you so much, Doctor. -Doctor, this is truly unbelievable.
How do you think it happened?
Raki, fish, and Ayvalık, I guess.
So, you heard Nalan, right?
She told me to keep doing what I'm doing.
Ada. These came in for you this morning.
-Thank you so much. -Of course.
"Congratulations, my beautiful wife."
"Brussels is so lucky to have you."
Ada, babe?
Maybe you should reconsider the whole Brussels thing.
[soft music plays]
[music intensifies]
[upbeat instrumental pop plays]
Leyla, tell me how to put this on.
I swear to God, I'm gonna cut it up and throw it away.
[Leyla] Honey, you can transplant organs,
but you can't figure out how to put a damn garter on?
Come on, tell me, Leyla.
Hey, I think I have a better idea.
If you can't put it on yourself, then
maybe let Selim help with it.
[mockingly] Ha-ha, ha-ha.
Wait, I think I got it.
Success! Bravo!
All done.
-[lock clicks] -[soft jazz plays on stereo]
Ada?
[footsteps]
Welcome home, baby.
[keys clatter]
I just wanted to surprise you this time.
[sighs]
What?
[sighs]
No good, right?
[Selim] Oh no. No, no. No.
You look amazing.
[Ada chuckles]
So, baby.
I know that I've been neglecting you lately.
And I was never that romantic anyway.
No one else would have agreed to the Brussels thing.
You know that, right?
You are very special to me.
Thank you so much.
[exhales]
Ada?
Hm?
I slept with someone.
Huh?
I was so upset.
And I was drunk.
I… I was angry with you because you'd just leave me.
[sighs] I'm really sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
-You were upset and angry with me? -I regret it.
-And drunk? -I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Even you, Selim?
Even you.
Ada?
Ada, wait a second.
Ada.
-Ada. Can we just talk? -Don't come in. Stay there.
Stay there. Get back. Just don't… don't come near me.
Ugh.
-Look, come on. Just let me explain, okay? -What? Explain what?
What are you gonna explain?
It was a one-time thing, and I said I'm sorry.
And it meant absolutely nothing.
Uh-huh. Typical.
It never means anything, does it?
-[sighs] I'm gonna lose it. -[cell phone chiming]
[Ada] Hello.
But isn't there anyone else?
No?
-Yeah, okay. -[cell phone clatters]
Where are you going?
[shouts] Where are you going?
-Move. -Ada.
They need me at the hospital.
-Why do they need you now? -Move.
Don't they have another surgeon in that hospital?
-The minister's been injured. -What minister?
I told you I cheated, and you're going to that hospital?
Yeah, I got it. Don't say it again. I heard you the first time, okay?
Just move.
Ada.
For just one time in your life, would it kill you to just put us first?
Ada! Do you realize we're basically finished?
We were already finished the minute that you did that shit.
There's no "us" anymore.
Ada, don't leave.
Just be gone before I'm back.
[door slams]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
[sighs, gasps]
[whimpers] Why is it…
[crying] Why is it always the same story?
[soft music plays]
[sobs] Why is it always the same story?
Why is it always the same old story?
[sobbing]
[Selim chuckles] Will you marry me?
I promise I'll never hurt you.
Ever.
I'll marry you.
-[Selim laughs] -[Ada chuckles]
[Selim] You come here.
-[Selim sighs] -[Ada chuckles]
[Ada] God, it's hot in here.
[sighs]
[Selim whispers] We're getting married.
[Selim] We're getting married!
-[shouts] We're getting married! -[Ada] Whoo!
[elevator bell rings]
[Ada] If we're living something over and over again,
and the same cycle manifests itself in different ways,
is it possible that the cause is a wound from the past we're not even aware of?
When you talk about the past, it's only your past that you can think of.
But think of your grandmothers, grandfathers, or even their parents.
[Zaman] You can light candles for your grandma.
If you honor her, you will live in abundance and plenty.
For you.
I'm going to do great things in your name, Eleni.
I know you can hear me somehow.
May your soul find peace.
Your granddaughter remembers you.
[Ada] Do you think that our health problems,
our shattered relationships, our financial or spiritual losses
could all be caused by wounds from generations past?
And is it possible to change it all by simply accepting those wounds?
[monitor beeping]
[suspenseful music plays]
[Ada] Oh, damn it. I cut the hepatic vein.
Aspirator, now. Compress, quickly. Give me the compress.
[nurse] Compress.
[Ada] Tell Dr. Faruk to take over the patient.
Right now.
[grunting]
[Chief of Staff] We've received reports of similar problems
during your recent surgeries.
You've been to the neurology department, but they couldn't diagnose you.
Do you realize you're putting not only your patients' lives at risk,
but the hospital as well?
You're right, of course.
Just give me a month. I'll deal with it.
No, I'm asking for your resignation.
What?
And Faruk will be replacing you in Brussels.
The board is adamant about that.
I'm sorry.
I worked for years to get onto that committee.
For years!
You gave me an award only… last month.
You thanked me personally, and now, just like that,
you're casting me aside because of one mistake?
-Ada. -Well, I quit.
You got that?
Don't ever call me again.
Just don't.
[soft music plays]
[exhales]
[cries]
[sobbing]
[sighs]
[Leyla] For the one and only Ada, welcome to our livestream from Cunda.
Look, sweetie. Can you guess where we are right now?
We're in Fiko's Tavern.
[Leyla] Oh my God, the appetizers here are amazing.
And, by the way, I did exactly what Zaman told me to do.
I lit the candles and released them out to sea.
And I prayed for Eleni.
-[Sevgi] Eleni. -Eleni.
Mm.
And Sevgi brought all her stuff from Istanbul,
but, unfortunately, the house is totally falling apart.
-It's gonna need work. -It's great. Don't listen to her.
Oh, it needs a ton of work.
Now, the hottest topic,
We found Sevgi a date this weekend on a dating website.
She's meeting a guy, but you're not gonna be here for it.
-[chuckles] -Like mother, like daughter, right?
These two are unstoppable.
Oh, look. Let me show you. Here's Muko.
Muko made stuffed zucchini blossoms for Zaman.
-Yeah, baby, stuffed zucchini blossoms. -[inaudible]
They're just to say thank you, if you know what I mean.
[guitar playing softly]
[sighs] With Erdem, it's the same.
-No word from him. No word at all. -[man singing ballad in Turkish]
Um, so I've started selling my outfits online.
I've already sold some shoes, and I've sold a couple bags.
Okay, I'm not gonna cry.
[clears throat]
Now are you ready for the real bombshell?
Guess, guess, guess who's back on stage?
Look. Look who it is. Check it out. I'll show you. Look, look.
Toprak! On the stage!
[singing in Turkish]
[Sevgi] We really wish you were here, Ada.
[Leyla] And if we could fix the house, that'd be great.
Okay, then, you go and do your surgery, and get here after that, sweetie.
[both] We love you so much. [kissing]
[Leyla] Bye, then.
[sniffles, exhales]
[cell phone chimes]
I love you both so, so very much too.
Hey, do you have room for one more? I mean in that haunted house of yours?
[message send alert chimes]
[man singing ballad in Turkish]
[song continues on car stereo]
[cell phone chimes]
[Ada] If we knew how the past affected us, would we still avoid facing it?
Or, no matter how much we avoid it, would it never stop chasing us?
[cell phone chimes]
Hey, Mom. I'm driving. Could I call you back at a better time?
[man on phone] Ada.
It's Toprak.
Please don't hang up. I need to talk to you.
