[intriguing music playing]
[man] Esteemed Muslims,
some scholars define thinking as an act of the brain.
However, the teachings of Sufism say
thinking is instead an act of the heart.
If a person's heart is pure, pristine,
and the fountains that run therein are crisp and clear,
their actions cannot be poisoned by the intrusion of the mind.
This is a person
who has cleansed their heart of muddy waters,
of pride and blasphemy,
and of trespassing against the rights of their own fellow man.
The heart of that person is the home of Allah.
[men] Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar.
[indistinct chatter]
[ominous music rises]
ANOTHER SELF
[ominous music fades]
[Ada sighs]
-[kisses] -[tender music rises]
Good morning.
Hey, Özgür.
-Stem cells, was it? -Hmm?
You were talking. You said a lot in your sleep last night, like…
-"Stem cells, that's when it start…" -That's impossible.
-Yes, you did. -I said all that in my sleep?
-Uh-huh. [laughs] -I don't remember. [chuckles]
Are you worried about something?
[sighs] I suppose, yeah. About the clinic and…
How I'll manage. How I'll get others to understand.
Those are the things I'm thinking about.
I gotta admit, I'm pretty curious about what you'll do.
Think I might get a sneak peek, given this link to the proprietor?
I couldn't take you on as my patient, I'm afraid, Mr. Özgür.
Is that right?
Well, we could, I think, have gotten a little bit too close.
[Özgür] Hmm.
I can't be your doctor or therapist for anything, I'm sorry to say.
Well, then maybe, you could, uh…
become something else instead?
[Ada] Mm.
-How about that, then? -[softly] Maybe.
Wait and see.
-Something else to run by you. -Hm.
-Will you come to my class this morning? -Oh, sure.
-To speak, though, I mean. -You want me to guest-speak?
Just what am I supposed to talk to your class about?
People say the greatest ideas occur while you shower sometimes.
-That's what people say? -That's what I've heard.
-[Ada chuckles] -[passionate music playing]
[water trickling]
TRAVELING TO AFRICA
[gentle music fades]
[door opens]
Well, look what the cat dragged in.
You didn't answer a single one of my calls.
Well, I was at a hotel.
After my wife made a fool out of me with those total strangers,
my idea was to get some space from you.
Erdem, listen. Sevgi did some research on those men.
Their plan was to demolish the restaurant and then to build some massive mega hotel.
Am I just supposed to sit by and let them do that to the place?
You stopped the entire thing, Leyla. Bravo.
I hope they'll send your medal along soon.
[Leyla] Erdem.
Because it's your job to save the world, am I right?
Sure, you've got a husband, kids, but the world needs you.
I've been thinking of our family this entire time, Erdem.
And now I feel like I'm doing something useful,
making myself proud for the first time.
-Try to put yourself in my shoes! -Don't bother me with that shit.
What am I, a complete idiot?
A moron who can't see the problem here, huh?
What's the problem, Erdem?
Tell me. What's this problem I have?
[tense music playing]
Don't play stupid. I saw you eyeing up that dude.
Excuse me, what dude? What are you saying?
You know exactly who and what I'm talking about!
You even went up to his farm or some shit.
You brought my daughter. You brought Mavi with you!
But the worst part is, Sarp is how I know.
-The hell, Leyla?! -Erdem!
Stop throwing terrible, unproven accusations at me
when you've got no concept at all what I experienced over there.
You've got no concept at all what I'm going through!
Because of that damn bankruptcy case, no one will loan me a goddamned penny.
For years at this point, I'm like a dog, chained up to you
and all that crap you're making our family do!
Am I to blame for all that? Did I put that notion in your head?
-The fraud, the scams? I'm at fault? -[Mavi sobs]
-Look-- -[Sarp] Mom.
Mavi's crying.
Coming, Sarp. I'll be right there.
-I'll come back there. -[crying continues]
Never. Don't you ever talk like that around our kids again.
Fire that pretty boy, or I'll beat the shit out of him.
I'll make sure that bastard's hurt so badly,
he'll never step outside again.
Got it?
[door opens, slams]
[Mavi continues crying]
[Sevgi] So, Ms. Sultan, since our discussion yesterday,
I did a bit of research into potential courses of action.
Since Halime hasn't been especially forthcoming,
and no abuse has been observed,
we are going to have to come up with something compelling
to make the prosecutor examine these claims.
Yes, that's what they said down at the station.
That's why I asked to have this meeting today.
[sighs] Her entire family died in the earthquake. She lost everything.
She just sits at home all day,
looking sad, ever since she came from Hatay.
She's an orphan, poor little thing. [sighs]
Those big bruises on her body make me feel like I'm losing my mind.
[Sevgi sighs]
I ask her, "Was this an accident? Did something happen?"
She says it's nothing. I'm not sure.
When the marks look like they're about to improve,
more bruises start showing up on her.
I've been thinking about her health, maybe that would explain it.
It's possible I'm making a big fuss over nothing, but I can't tell.
No matter how distantly we're related, she's family to me.
Tell me what you think about this.
My close friend's a medical doctor. She works as a general surgeon.
She'd be willing to examine Halime. We'll do a medical check. All right?
Thank you Sevgi. I'd be happy to bring her.
I will.
CEREMONY WEDDING OFFERING
The concept of death has a significant place in anthropology.
Different cultures, societies, and religious groups
have created their own death rituals and rites of passage.
Anthropology considers practices like this to serve important transitional functions.
But how can one heal?
Pretty existential, but it's a question even ancient peoples asked.
You could almost call it some kind of human birthright.
So, is it possible to heal if one makes peace with one's past?
Hope you enjoyed the article.
Making a special guest appearance, Dr. Ada Korkmaz is with us.
Doctor, come on up.
Hello, everyone.
Thanks for having me here, but, uh, it's a little sudden.
We really appreciate you taking the time.
-So glad you're here. -Of course.
Are there any questions for our speaker?
Beliz.
Doctor, in your article, you talk about the ways in which trauma
can be passed down generationally.
It just seems a little unfair that we should experience the pain
of those who had that pain before we were even born.
[male] Anyway, Doctor, what she's trying to say is,
"Who cares about some boomer's issues?"
Ah, yes, Doctor Korkmaz, meet Atakan. He's famed for his scientific insight.
Bringing the most modern terminology to the table, you understand. We'll talk.
[chuckles] You ask a very good question, so thanks, Beliz. And Atakan.
I understand, it probably seems unfair to deal with others' issues.
And coming generations also will be inheriting from us.
I mean, why should they all be stuck dealing with our issues, right?
But, what if invisible strings were binding everybody in this class,
and experts have proven that scientifically?
[intriguing music playing]
You've probably all heard of stem cells, right?
From the moment our father's sperm
and our mother's egg merge with each other,
what we see is the first particle of life.
So then in this particle, what can we find?
The genetic information we inherit from our parents
and our grandparents.
You're not wrong.
But beyond that, it contains records of the reactions
all living beings have to stressful situations.
And this tiny particle begins to grow.
Which do you think is the part of the human body to form first?
-The heart? -[Ada] Anyone else?
-The brain? -Okay, anybody else?
Our blood?
The nervous system.
Because before our brain or our heart, the nervous system has begun to form
and hold old memories from the 20th day of pregnancy.
It's important for us to understand.
What we inherit isn't passed on
so that we can appreciate the pain of our parents,
or pay some kind of cosmic tax.
It's the opposite.
It's designed as a mechanism to protect us.
Prepare us for things that will hurt us.
Dr. Korkmaz, can someone learn to see what they've inherited?
Well, creating a family tree is the best place to start.
Examine your family's past by talking to loved ones who have knowledge to share.
Know your ancestors and who they were connected with.
Learn about their losses, early deaths, any adoptions that have taken place.
For instance, did your mother lose a child before you were born?
Or have an abortion?
We're made up of millions of elements of a system.
People don't like talking about the ones that they've lost
because it's painful.
But talking about them, creating a place for them in your heart and in your life
can help resolve the trauma that's trapped inside.
Mister Rıza?
You okay?
The kids told me how important it is for you to stay in bed.
Look, I… I've caused you a lot of trouble, Ms. Mukadder.
-[Muko] Not at all. -It's true, I did. [sighs]
But now I should return home.
I think I'm through with being trouble for others.
Mr. Rıza, I… I won't let you go without having a cup of tea.
I swear to God, or you'll offend me.
Let's have tea together.
Let's have a cup.
Please? Come on.
Maybe you could answer a question.
Why is it that you call Fiko "Tevfik"?
"I am not one who expects many favors,
or asks people for aid."
"I am a wanderer, one who exists beneath my own sky, in my own time."
Tevfik Fikret. Hm.
That's gorgeous.
He always preferred Fikret, but I called him Tevfik anyway. Hm.
That's how it is with me and that bastard, we don't agree.
Fiko is not a bastard.
[gentle music playing]
Your son is the greatest husband ever.
He has never once upset my daughter.
He's given her everything she wanted.
He loves her, and he shows her how much.
Sevgi, um…
She cheated death, Mr. Rıza.
And Fiko never let go of her hand, not once.
Where do you think he learned all of that? Huh?
I think,
as her mother, I'll always be in your debt.
Thank you for raising such a good husband.
So…
if it's not too much to ask, please reconsider moving away.
Ada is an extremely brilliant doctor.
You'll be in very good hands here.
Please don't turn me down.
Please stay with us.
When we encounter a threat,
there are certain automatic responses our nervous system may give us.
Flight.
Fight.
Freeze.
Fawn.
Flop.
For instance, all of us know how rabbits,
when they encounter danger, tend to become frozen, right?
Well, humans are pretty similar in their reactions.
Freezing is actually a very common response
to the prospect of death, and also to ordeals such as trauma and abuse.
Some people might feel guilty about it,
although nobody's able to be in command of an involuntary response.
Because our nervous system relies on the centuries of experience
of our ancestors to determine the best course.
-[gentle music playing] -[Sevgi sighs]
[Halime breathing heavily]
[Ada] People who have had such experiences in their childhood
might remain partially mentally frozen due to their trauma.
They may struggle as adults to see past the trauma
and make the best decisions for themselves.
But the good news is that there are ways to change this.
For years, I stayed away from you, but you never harmed me.
Let's make up for it.
[speaking in Greek]
Still doesn't make a bit of sense, yet I'm a fan.
-[horse whinnies] -[chuckles]
From this book.
What I just said.
ZORBA THE GREEK
[Leyla] It's translated.
I'll read it, then. [clears throat]
"Sometimes happiness escapes our notice."
"It's only when happiness is already gone that reflecting on such days
brings forth the realization."
"Yet, for me,
being on Cunda Island, I was perfectly aware
that I was happy there."
[gentle music rises]
Beautiful.
So why did you come here?
[sighs] Yorgos…
All your help with Eleni's, it has meant… so much, you can't know.
It really mattered.
I can't tell you how thankful I am.
Thanks to you, we have more customers than ever.
-I can't repay your-- -I'm being let go, aren't I?
[music fades]
[speaking Greek]
[sighs] Yeesh!
Please, can I check the translation app? I don't speak Greek.
What I'm saying, boss lady, is you're right.
You're right to make this decision.
No.
-Please take it. -[gentle music playing]
Adios, Yorgos.
-Even though that was Spanish. -[both scoff]
Look, it's all I've got.
-[chuckles] -[whimsical music playing]
[music fades]
-[Sevgi] Ada, when will you be back? -Why? What's wrong?
I need to pick your mind about something. It's important.
Can't you just tell me now?
My plan is to stay in Istanbul with Özgur for a few more days.
Not on the phone. We'll talk when you get back.
-All right, babe. -Keep enjoying yourself. You sound happy.
-Actually, yeah. I am happy. -So--
Sorry, I'm out at the moment. But I'll call back, okay?
-Okay, call me back. -Yep, bye.
Dang, Dr. Özgür's got game, huh? I guess he and Ceyda broke up, then.
Don't you know? They break up one moment and get back in bed the next.
So true.
And besides, there's no way she'll let that man be.
[student 1] You're right.
[student 2] She became an assistant to stay at the school with him.
-What else can you say? -[somber music plays]
-You're talking about this bit? -Mm-hmm.
-Got it. -Can I… can I borrow your pen quick?
-Of course. -[chuckles] Thanks, I appreciate it.
Actually, I've completed most of it, but there might be some missing parts.
Why don't you email the paper, and I'll look at the bottom more.
-Don't worry about it. -Bottom part.
When this part is straightened out, we should be good.
Well, let's take a look at this bit--
Oh. Uh, hey, let me introduce you.
Dr. Ada, this is Ceyda, a research assistant.
[Ceyda] Great to meet you.
You were awesome, by the way. Your presentation was great.
-[music stops] -Really, it's a pleasure.
Thanks very much. It's a pleasure for me too.
Ceyda's my colleague who conducted research on the Taurus Yörik population.
Because of her archive, we were able to find your dad's surname.
[quietly] Uh…
Amazing. I really owe you.
Actually, there are some photos available. I could easily upload them and email them.
[tense music rises]
My apologies, I really have to get back home.
[hesitates] But wait. What's going on?
-Ada. What happened? -Uh…
Sevgi called earlier. She didn't want to tell me on the phone, so…
Wait, but… but-- Hey!
Professor Özgür, we need to talk about yesterday's meeting.
It's very urgent.
[energetic music playing]
[Ada] I will never end up in the same situation again.
[music fades]
[Sevgi sighs]
It's not just the ones she drew in the office.
These ones she drew at home are exactly alike. Take a look.
[Ada] They are. You're right.
-I think she could have been abused. -[inhales sharply] Oh no…
[somber music playing]
Look at these jagged lines she made.
And she always uses black.
She keeps drawing the same things.
I think that woman is right, Sevgi.
Her bruises may not be from a playground accident,
but a result of deliberate harm.
Oh, Ada. [grunts]
It's pretty normal for her not to be talking about it.
She doesn't want to hurt the family she's with now.
She's lost one family before.
She needs professional help, in my opinion.
Sevgi, how can we help in this situation?
Could you put all you said
into a written report I can bring with me to the prosecutor?
Yeah, absolutely.
That's good. My plan is to file a complaint with them.
And hopefully, they'll take Halime under protection.
And then I'm going to find this bastard, and the law is going to punish him.
Man, this sure makes me regret never finishing up my last year of psychology.
-God. -[Sevgi sighs]
-[Leyla sighs] -[music fades]
-[Ada huffs] -What's going on with you? Huh?
I thought you and Özgur had plans, and you couldn't be here.
Something wrong?
I think trusting Özgur was premature.
[somber music plays]
[Leyla sighs]
I suspect he hasn't been completely honest with me.
Both of you were right, I think.
I usually focus on trouble in relationships.
But I'm different now. I see it coming, and… [inhales]
I don't want it. I don't. I'm not going to accept it.
I should've known everything was too perfect.
Why do things have to get messed up on the brink of things finally being good?
Good question. Life's a bitch.
[sighs]
Want some good news to mix things up, girls?
-For sure. -Yes, please, good news.
The license for your clinic has at last been sent to us, so you're good to go.
[upbeat music playing]
-Congratulations, honey. -Now you tell me?
-Yes. -[exclaims]
Such good news.
-Oh, Ada, let's get that place opened. -Let's open it now. It'll be great.
I agree. Let's open up the clinic.
-Everyone needs to heal. -We should get our shit together first.
[Leyla chuckles]
How are these so dirty? For crying out loud, they're brand new.
I'll tell you what, there are rocks and things there, put it with them.
-[Leyla] Ada, this is gonna live here. -[Ada] Works for me.
I can always change it later on if I feel like it.
[Leyla] Da, da, da! Feel like a dance coming on?
-[laughs] -[Sevgi] Okay, come on, let's go.
[phone vibrating]
-Put it down? -Hold on.
-[both grunt] -[phone vibrating]
-Your phone. -[Ada] It's fine, I'll check it later.
-[Ada sighs] -Come on, then. All right!
-Time to dance! -Okay. Wait.
-My straw! Am I using my own straw? -[laughing]
[Leyla] Oh no, it's spilled.
[all laughing]
Oh my…
[Sevgi sighs]
[Sevgi] Just sign here. I'll take care of the rest.
-[chuckles] -Congratulations, sweetie.
[both exclaim]
ÖZGÜR: I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU. ARE YOU OKAY?
[sighs]
Bump it this way. Bit further.
Okay, let me look. Mm-hm.
ADA KORKMAZ GENERAL SURGEON & PSYCHOTHERAPIST
[group exclaims and laughs]
-It's incredible. Let me see. Let me… -[sighing]
-[gasps] Mm, looks so good. -[music fades]
Oh, hello.
-[door shuts] -Good to see you.
-Thought you'd be in bed. -I've been waiting up.
-I didn't see you earlier. -[Deniz sighs]
[exhales]
How was work?
-It was really good, actually. -[chuckles]
But I'm exhausted now.
Also…
[sighs] My legs are hurting a lot.
-I'm still enjoying it, though. -Hmm?
-Anyway, I get good tips too. -That's nice.
Yorgos has left the restaurant.
We'll be closed up until somebody new can be brought on.
-No way. -Yep.
Wow.
[sighs]
This is for bills and for the food I eat, so… I'll contribute what I can.
By the way, you know that brochure? I read it.
And I signed up for a program.
-So thank you. -[sighs]
I'm the one who should say that.
-[gentle music playing] -[sighs]
I know you're making the right call.
[exhales]
As for this, you hang onto it. You better put that towards dance school.
-Good night, then. -Good night.
[sighs heavily]
[both] Ada!
[chuckling]
[Leyla] We're here!
We're here to celebrate your big first day, hurry!
-[exclaims] Day one! Day one! -Hurry, hurry!
[Sevgi] Run, run, run, run, run!
-[Leyla] Hey! -[Ada] Welcome.
-What's this? -Let's see it.
-Here. -Oh!
-That, Leyla, is a pomegranate sapling. -Mm!
It will bring us abundance and prosperity.
-Oh, it's so beautiful. -But look, it's got babies as well, here.
[Ada] Aw.
-Surprise! -Oh, you scared the hell out of me.
-This is something else. -[laughs]
[Ada] What on earth did you bring me?
And since I'm never breastfeeding again in my life,
I've been thinking about my boob job.
Why not, coconut?
-[laughs] -You know what, Ada? Please.
I'd just do the stupid boob job procedure so we can be done with this.
Just do it to shut her up.
I've said I'm not that kind of surgeon, baby girl.
-Oh, God. -Dig in.
Mm. [chuckles]
Mm!
-Mm. -[Leyla] Let me try it.
This right here is the only kind of plastic surgery Ada's about to do.
Mm! So good.
Dr. Ada, your first patient is here to see you.
-Is my mouth a mess? -Hold on.
-Are my teeth good? -No mess. You look gorgeous.
-Okay. -Babe, listen up.
-Hmm? -It's all going to go so well.
You were born to do this.
It's gonna be greater than any of us can imagine.
Look, look. Think about all you've done and learned.
And remind everyone what's possible. Yeah?
You're the best friends anybody could have.
I love both of you so much.
-[kissing] -Okay, I got to go. Wish me luck.
-We'll be here. Go on. -Get moving.
[exclaims] Bye.
[somber music playing]
Hi.
You shouldn't have come all this way.
Your phone went to voicemail, no call back.
I didn't have many options.
-I'm busy. -[sighs]
Your clinic looks amazing.
Nicely done.
Thanks very much.
Ada, are… are you gonna fill me in?
I do have an actual patient on his way over,
so it's not really possible to talk now.
Okay.
-I'll be hanging back here. -You don't have to. That's not necessary.
A constellation session is being held later,
once the appointment's complete.
It could take some time, though.
Could I be a part of it?
[music fades]
[Ada] First of all, welcome.
This is the first time we're doing this here.
I'd like to thank you for coming and accepting my invitation
to be representatives here.
Tell me, Mr. Rıza.
Tell us how we can help you. What is it I can do for you?
[bright music rises]
Are you Riza Seyhan? Father of Mehmet Akif Seyhan?
I am.
[officer] Your son was sadly martyred in combat
while performing his military service.
He served honorably.
My condolences.
[music grows somber]
[sighs] For our nation.
CERTIFICATE FALLEN IN SERVICE
That day was the last I stepped into a mosque for the rest of my life.
I turned to raki after that.
Ever since, that illness has been at my side, but now I…
I can't do it anymore. I want to find peace now.
So Mr. Rıza, this will be our approach.
You'll give these to any three of the representatives here.
Those who are given the papers can come up here.
Stand wherever you like. Close your eyes.
When you feel something in your body,
you can open your eyes and move about freely.
[intense music playing]
[sighs]
-[Ada] How do you feel? -[Özgür] Weird.
Like I'm lost, or like I'm, like…
It's… it's… it's like I'm invisible to you all.
I'm…
[Ada] You may open your paper.
You represent Mehmet, Mr. Rıza's deceased son.
And how do you feel?
My head is pounding.
I just want to be able to see him.
But you're unable to.
You can look at your paper.
You represent Mister Rıza.
And how do you feel?
Really mad.
I feel terribly…
I want to leave and go home.
You can open yours.
Fiko.
What changed in you?
[Özgür grunts] My legs.
It's strange, they seem numb, but--
Mehmet Akif!
[sobs]
[hesitates] He stepped on a mine.
[sobs]
[gentle music rises]
[Ada whispers] Can you go try it?
[sobs]
[Ada] My dear son.
My dear son.
It was so painful for me to lose you.
[tearfully] It was so painful for me to…
for me to lose you.
I couldn't shed tears for you back then.
Only now am I able to see you.
[sobbing] Only now… am I able to see you.
I always carry you in my heart, son.
[Ada] Can you come to your father?
[Rıza sobbing]
-My son! -[music swells]
My boy!
[sobbing]
[moans]
[Ada] Can you look at Fiko now?
I've always kept my head pointed down until today.
That's why I couldn't see you.
[sobbing] That's why I couldn't see you.
But now I do.
[sighs] But now I do.
Come here to your father.
Son. [sobs]
[sobbing] Akif.
[Ada] Only when the unseen becomes seen
and the unspoken becomes spoken does healing become possible.
[music fades]
Our capacity's about what you see.
Tables are typically filled up in the evenings.
We're thrilled about that, but there are opportunities for growth.
-That's what brings you here. -I'm sure.
[tense music playing]
-By the way, can you begin immediately? -Yeah, definitely.
Oh, perfect.
ELENI'S TAVERN
[tense music building]
[Leyla] And this is our kitchen.
Erdem.
[gasps]
[Erdem sighs]
-I, uh… -Yes?
[Erdem sighs]
[emotional music rises]
Yes?!
[Leyla's footsteps fade]
[under breath] Shit.
[music fades]
[huffs]
That was something I've never done.
Thank you.
I should thank you for participating.
Ada, can we talk about what's on your mind?
Your students were talking.
Saying that you and Ceyda have a relationship.
Off again, on again.
As soon as you begin to suspect or doubt, things can't be the same.
Like mud in clear water.
So, yeah.
But the mud, doesn't that get in when you jump to conclusions?
Without listening, without asking?
-Hm? -You're right. I'm listening.
Ceyda and I…
had a short relationship around two years ago.
And by that, I mean it was a blip.
We decided it didn't work between us, and that was it.
[gentle music playing]
[Ada] Mm.
I see.
Do you think that I'm lying to you?
I don't know much about you, Özgür.
You pretty much know everything, down to my lineage.
You came right into the struggles with Deniz.
In return, I know pretty much nothing.
How about you ask whatever you want to know?
I will.
I want to know. Are you heading back to Africa?
Um…
Funding is pending, but if it's approved, then yes.
It's for my research.
Plan is to stay for about a year.
Going to Africa to spend a year there,
but I'm not important enough to be in your plans, huh?
[scoffs] Hm.
Ada, it's just because nothing's gotten approved yet, and I thought…
-[Ada sighs] -I mean, I mean--
I thought… that it was too early.
[Ada] Mm.
I see. [clears throat]
[music fades]
[Özgür] Can we sit down here?
Come on, let's talk.
[sighs]
Let me ask you a question.
Focusing on potential issues that could pull us apart,
on worrying what we're doing here, and then making assumptions,
might you be kinda… losing out on the moment?
My main focus is not wasting time, Özgür.
Anybody's time, but most of all, not mine.
[gentle music playing]
I see.
But, Ada,
people becoming closer like us…
I mean, we've both got buttons. They'll be pushed, of course, yeah.
But I'm…
I'm sure you and me are capable of working through whatever comes.
I've thought. You said your marriage ended because you didn't want to have kids.
Do you still feel the same way?
Yes, for right now I feel the same.
Then I don't think we're headed in the same direction anymore.
[sighs]
[Rıza] Forgive me, son.
Pops…
[inhales]
After Akif had passed, I was so angry with you.
It was like you weren't grieving at all.
The community came to console us.
[mournful piano music playing]
But you stood up tall and said…
"Akif died for our nation."
"It's all that matters."
It matters, it's just that…
it seemed like you weren't upset.
And I was just enraged.
[crying softly]
Forgive me, will you?
[Rıza breathes shakily]
It's me who should be apologizing.
I always, always left you by yourself.
My son.
[mournful music fades]
I don't understand. I can't comprehend it! How?
How could you possibly betray me? Do you have no shame at all?
You have a wife and children, Erdem!
You betrayed me but also your kids!
It was an impulsive thing, Leyla. You should accept that I got blindsided.
And besides, how about Yorgos or whatever his name is!
You were flirting with him too!
[scoffs] I didn't flirt with him.
I am in love with him.
[somber music playing]
[crying] Yes, I fell in love.
I've spent so much of my time expecting you to finally change,
praying you could be the kind of man who is faithful, and I was always wrong!
You're in love? Then I'm gonna kill that motherfucker!
-[Leyla] Don't be absurd! -Let go!
-You're being a maniac! -It's your fault! You betrayed us!
At least I'm honest about the way things have been
Just be honest, just this once, and say what you've done!
I admit it! I admit it, okay?
I've been trying to get close to you for months now!
I have, but you talk down to me, give me damn orders.
I can't tell if I'm your husband or your slave anymore!
She made me feel interesting.
She wanted intimacy, and I wanted some as well!
-I cheated, but I didn't give up on us. -I gave up on us! I finally did!
-[fire roars] -[both gasp]
What the hell? Get a tablecloth!
-[panting] -What's going on? What do we do?
-Erdem, be careful. Erdem, be careful! -[grunts, panting]
[intense music playing]
-Leyla, hold on! -We're trapped.
Help us!
Is anyone there? Help!
CLOSED
-We can't get out. We're trapped in here! -Leyla! [gasping]
-Erdem! -Leyla, just breathe. It's gonna be…
-We'll figure something out. -Erdem.
-[both gasping] -[music intensifies]
Leyla. Leyla. Leyla, wake up.
Leyla!
[glass shattering]
