[man] How are you?
[Leyla sighs] How am I?
I'm a big mess. [chuckles]
[spacey, lonesome music plays]
But when people ask, I say I'm fine.
LEYLA'S LAST SUPPER
'Cause it's hard to answer that question...
even for myself.
I've been overwhelmed
trying to, like, find the right thing.
Even if the right thing exists,
I wouldn't know.
I couldn't find it.
I just want to be happy.
[trunk opens]
I want to shake off
this feeling of being stuck.
[gently suspenseful music plays]
[sweeping emotional classical music plays]
That's why I avoid these questions.
Because I'm scared
of what I may end up sharing.
[shower running]
"How are you?" [scoffs]
I'm running away.
That's what I'll say.
[upbeat jazzy theme music plays]
[Cem] Leyla!
[sighs]
THANK YOU, NEXT
[sighs restlessly]
I'm constantly feeling on edge.
Waiting for the next mistake.
Because, somehow, failure
always manages to find me.
Failure?
Exactly.
There's this guy, for instance.
I mean... [sighs]
It's... not what you think.
It wasn't like that.
Like, nothing happened.
[ringtone plays on cell phone]
[gasps]
Uh...
Because I got scared.
- Is she coming, Murat?
- She's right there.
- Where did you go?
- I'm here now.
[gentle acoustic guitar music plays]
[van door closes]
[engine starts]
[Leyla] And from the moment I met him,
he really irritated me.
The guy had so many red flags.
So, it was easy to know
that he wouldn't be good for me.
[doorbell rings]
He'll shout from a mile away, and say,
"I will eventually hurt you."
"I'm a big narcissist.
My ego reaches the clouds."
"I'm deceitful."
"I'm arrogant. I'm jealous."
Those red flags say,
"I'm used to getting what I want."
Yes, but?
There are no buts.
It was merely this enticing attraction.
It was something that could be dealt with.
I didn't want to know him
on a deeper level.
Once you know his type,
you avoid getting attached at all costs.
If you were to see
their weaknesses and flaws,
would you still desire them so strongly?
I don't think so.
A relationship should be consistent.
I believe that's what matters the most.
You must share the same problems
with your partner.
Share the same aspirations.
I don't have anything in common with him.
[Leyla chuckles]
I actually figured him out
on the very first day.
He is problematic.
He's gone through three marriages
and divorces.
And they all continue
to be part of his life.
His first wife, second wife, third wife,
they're always in his life.
The guy is truly a collector.
I don't...
wanna end up like those other women.
I just can't.
Something like that is simply impossible.
I must have completely lost my mind
to end up as his fourth victim.
That's why I won't get involved with him,
or pursue a relationship.
Guys with narcissistic traits like him
could effortlessly manipulate
their victim.
And just like that, you'd be sucked in.
He'll be able captivate you,
and you'll fall to such an extent
that, before you know it,
you'll find yourself
in front of the wedding officiant.
What comes next is...
Your marriage.
No, divorce.
The relationships
around me are all the same.
They always begin passionately.
[sad music plays]
They're filled with many promises
and hasty words of commitment.
Those who are less secure
tend to be the loudest.
"I do, from now until eternity."
"I do, until death do us part."
So, then what?
What exactly happens
after the honeymoon phase
that causes them
to get irritated with each other?
And also start being deceitful?
You know those classic love stories
that we all heard as kids?
- [arguing indistinctly]
- Well, they don't actually exist.
Because none of them
are even remotely close to reality.
[sighs] How is it possible for everyone
to succumb to that same obvious trap?
I don't know.
People get married
to be closer with each other.
But as soon as they get married,
they begin to grow apart.
[captivating club music plays]
None of them are authentic or sincere.
It seems like they have concealed
every wrinkle with plastic surgery.
The world is full of artificial people
with wrinkled interiors
and Botoxed exteriors.
[Funda] Gosh. Couldn't you have worn
a costume that was a bit more cheerful?
I've had the chance
to observe every guy in here.
But no one, even when combined,
seems to measure up to Ömer.
I'm beginning to realize this
more and more.
That's enough, love.
{an8}Hear me out, all right.
Exes can't come back.
{an8}What do philosophers say?
{an8}"Thank you, next."
[man] Funda.
[gasps] Darling!
We're all simply chasing an illusion
in order to avoid saying
that we were wrong.
What about black, or... No.
I think you should get this satin one
in nude. It's sexier, huh?
Hmm. Maybe we can see the satin set
in both nude and black colors.
- [Sarp and Funda continue]
- We detach from ourselves.
So as not to be alone.
We then label the relationship
as long-term.
It's a drawn-out dying process,
and nothing more.
Darling, why are you talking about death?
You've only started seeing each other
two weeks ago.
Did you invite him to the party?
Can we finally meet him?
Of course, I didn't invite him.
It's only been two weeks,
so why would he meet you guys?
It would just be in vain.
Oh. Have you at least gotten
a gift for him?
Buy a book or something small like that.
What if he gives you one but...
[Leyla] I'm so scared
that I'll settle for something subpar.
- Yeah.
- [Ömer] No rush.
[Leyla] I'm afraid that one day...
Thank you so much.
[Leyla] ...I'll look at my reflection,
and realize the spark in my eyes is gone.
Ripped apart in a blink of an eye
by choices I was completely certain about.
I'm scared of regret.
[Esra exclaims]
- Hey, let's go!
- Ten! Nine!
[all] Eight! Seven!
Six! Five!
[Leyla] I'd rather avoid making promises.
I don't want to take responsibility.
I'll make love with everyone I meet
and then I'll just vanish.
This is how relationships are built.
[upbeat disco music plays]
You see?
There are guys who disappear
without even sending a simple text.
That's what my friends
have always told me.
And women don't go after them, of course.
So, that leaves loneliness...
[sighs sadly]
...as our only viable alternative.
I miss the time of the pandemic.
Miss the pandemic or Ömer?
No, I don't think that was it.
Everything was different
during the pandemic.
It was like everyone sought
shelter in each other.
As if the end of the world was nearing.
Ömer moved in with you
during the time of the pandemic.
Right?
- [man plays guitar in distance]
- [both laugh]
- [Ömer] He's good.
- [Leyla] Whoo!
[chuckles]
Bravo! Bravo!
[Leyla laughs]
[laughs] He's stunned.
- [tender music plays]
- Okay, who's going to cook?
Mmm.
[Leyla] A person's reality can shift
based on the circumstances
of their situation.
During that time, we feared
that our hopes and dreams might disappear.
[chuckles] And never return.
Everything was so different
at the beginning.
The whole world was focusing
on resolving a single problem.
Everyone was afraid of the same thing.
We fought against a common enemy,
and that was encouraging.
[blows]
[Ömer breathes hoarsely]
- [sobbing] Leyla?
- My love.
- I love you so much.
- Oh!
[chuckles] What did you dream about?
To be honest, it felt so realistic.
- [sighs sadly]
- Did I die?
It was your wedding.
Yeah?
[sniffles] You wore your granny's dress,
the one you've always mentioned.
And my hair? Did I let my hair down?
You did.
And Sarp was next to you.
No way!
What made it worse
is that I was your witness.
You should've seen my mouth disappear
every time I tried to speak up.
Then, baby, you looked at me and shouted,
"I do, till death do us part!"
No, but Ömer,
maybe I get to say "I do" to you instead.
I don't want to marry to him.
- Really?
- Of course!
- [chuckles]
- Then what?
[sighs heavily]
You guys kissed.
It was awful, I cried a lot.
[exhales heavily] I got so mad.
That as*h*le.
Aww, Ömer. [chuckles]
Please stop crying, my love.
It hurts me to see you in tears.
Did that fool Sarp
snatch me away from you?
[both laugh]
I think I must have lost my memory.
How else could I have left you?
[chuckles]
[groans]
[breathes hoarsely]
- I'll tell you what.
- Hmm?
[sighs]
[groans]
Will you marry me?
Hmm?
So someone like Sarp won't take me away?
No, I'm being serious. Will you marry me?
All right.
Are you kidding me?
- [laughs]
- Yes! [groans]
[coughs and laughs]
Are we actually engaged now?
I need to call my parents right now
and tell them.
Okay.
The pandemic ends, and so does the dream.
[lonesome music plays]
I know that under normal circumstances,
we would not have made
certain choices just like that,
but at the time, I was still contemplating
our idea of possibly living together.
And before I knew it,
he was already moving in.
Everyone has their own habits
and routines,
but there's a limit to what we can endure.
Passing beyond that
makes things unpleasant.
And when there's only one bathroom
in the apartment,
there's no more room for romance at all.
[laughs] A relationship deals with...
accepting everything about your partner.
[chuckles]
Only you and Mom can make it work.
And nobody else.
[chuckles fondly]
You have...
honestly, set the bar extremely high
for my future boyfriends.
[father sighs]
Are you still deeply in love with her?
Mmm.
It's hard to find the perfect words
to describe our love.
[laughs] Oh, Dad! You guys are amazing!
[both laugh]
- You know what?
- Hmm?
I'm happy we could discuss
what was bothering you.
- I have... spoken for a while now.
- Hmm.
Single chit-chatting.
Detoxing.
[chuckles]
Let's go join them outside.
We're here.
- Ah!
- [Leyla] Buddy, my love!
[Buddy pants happily]
Hmm. Did you finish talking
behind my back?
No, we couldn't start talking about you.
- It took that long?
- Yes, it did.
Okay, it's time for dinner.
The table's set.
All right, we'll be right there.
So, I heard we'd be having a guest soon.
Are you sure? Friend?
Are you kidding me?
No, I'm not. Your uncle invited me.
[father] You can put these on the table.
[mother] Okay, dear.
- Hello, Mr. Cem.
- How are you?
I'll take these.
- Cem, welcome.
- Hello. I haven't come late, have I?
Of course not.
You're right on time once again.
Could that be the famous serial k*ller?
[Can] Don't mention it. Glad you came.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you, I appreciate it.
Reyhan, dear, Mahir, dear.
Meet our guest, Cem Murathan.
He's our neighbor and one of our clients.
My sister, Reyhan Taylan.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Likewise.
- Thank you.
- [Can] And her husband, Mahir.
- Mr. Mahir.
- Nice to meet you.
- We actually met each other before.
- That right?
Yeah. I met you quite a long time ago,
so I'm happy I was able to come.
Why didn't you tell me about this?
- Uh...
- [Reyhan chuckles awkwardly]
- This way.
- Go ahead.
Can, look at these bottles
from the auction.
They're all '72s. That's your birth year.
[chuckles]
It really is a great gift.
Thank you very much, Cem.
- You didn't have to get me anything.
- No problem.
I'm glad you liked it.
[Reyhan chuckles]
- [Somer] Cheers, everyone.
- [Can] Enjoy, everyone.
[Somer] Mmm.
Mmm! My gosh, this is incredible.
Come, drink some, Mahir.
So you can taste it.
[sighs] I stay away from alcohol nowadays.
My stomach just doesn't tolerate it
any longer.
- My serving can be for my wife to enjoy.
- I would gladly take it from him.
[men chuckle]
So, could you pick up
where we left off, Cem?
Tell us more about how you... and my dad
were able to meet each other.
Hmm. Oh, that's right.
Uh, you said that we had met before.
It was at a symposium held in Milan.
I was studying architecture at the time.
You were excited to work
on your latest project.
It was in '09.
Yeah, it was 2009.
You had explained
the psychology of buildings.
But you were describing it
as if you were referring
to a woman you loved.
Yes, I remember. Uh, hmm.
I don't remember Milan.
No, my love, you wouldn't,
since you were living
with your uncle that year.
You're right, that takes me back
to our very first summer.
My poor heart couldn't keep up with you.
You were an active little kid
who always ran all over the house,
never slowing down.
I was basically your nanny.
[scattered laughs]
And what project was that, Dad?
Uh, I never completed that one
because so many things
continued to go wrong.
Hmm. Oh, I see.
It's a shame.
Honestly, the, uh... [sniffs] project
was never finished,
uh, because it was quite challenging.
It was only promising on paper.
So then, uh, Reyhan took a job in Tokyo,
and we moved there.
[sighs] I've always given you the option
to decide whether to go or not.
Sugarplum.
You could have stayed.
How was I supposed to endure
your absence for so long, love?
[chuckles] You guys clearly have
some stories to share.
[Reyhan] Ah! Yes, a story!
We all have stories to share.
They're all around us.
Our life is a story, isn't it, my love?
- [both laugh]
- Then, a toast to our stories.
[laughs] Cheers.
[all cheers]
[joyful samba music plays]
[guests laugh]
[Reyhan] Aw!
[all exclaim and cheer]
[dialogue fades]
Thank you. Thank you.
[dialogue continues indistinctly]
Come on, don't tell everyone.
I'll blow these out, and that'll be it.
[all cheer]
Thank you all for coming. Cheers.
- Cheers.
- [Can] Drink up!
You've been quiet today.
I don't think so.
[chuckles dryly]
Can we take a walk? I want to talk to you.
Don't worry about the book
that was written.
Our plan is to prevent Ms. Tuba
from officially printing it.
This week, we'll issue a legal notice
to the publishing house.
It wasn't that,
but thanks a lot for helping out.
Your secrets will continue
to be safe with you.
So you can rest easy.
I suppose one secret
was revealed to us tonight.
How come you never said anything
about knowing my dad?
That's right, afterward,
we didn't get to talk much.
You weren't there.
[wistful music plays]
[sighs]
And you were hurt.
I know.
No, you're wrong. I wasn't hurt at all.
I would only be hurting
if I had cared for you.
But I... don't harbor
any thoughts of you at all.
And to be frank, I couldn't care less
whether you are around or not.
So, yeah.
I think, um, it's good
that we haven't wasted each other's time.
I'm honestly grateful.
I admit, I got curious
about the attraction between us.
Now, we won't be left wondering.
Um, so that's it.
It wasn't... some extraordinary thing.
But a short tryst.
That's why, uh, everything is good.
I won't, um...
be devastated. Um, I'll be perfectly fine.
[musical arrangement turns anxious]
You know what? I think I'm done
talking about this with you.
My parents probably need my help.
[anxious music intensifies]
[cell phone chimes]
THIS IS MY FAMILY ALBUM
- [Reyhan] Stop being a hypocrite.
- [Mahir] I'm not the hypocrite.
You're the professional liar.
That's your job, isn't it?
[Reyhan] You love to play the hero
when Leyla's around,
and you don't realize
the damage you've caused.
I've been silent because that is
what you wanted me to do.
I'm okay with exposing our mess.
Then tell her
that you are also a Casanova.
Besides, your father's debt
led you to change your last name.
And what makes you think
I won't let her know?
Be honest and say why you don't drink.
Explain that you went to rehab.
How could you lie to her?
Tell her you cheated on me
with that b*tch.
She talks about some bar you've set.
Why don't you show her
just how low that bar could go?
- [plate shatters]
- [melancholic music plays]
You both lied.
Now I know the farce is over.
That is our harsh reality, love.
Hold on. Did you find out
what happened to them in 2009?
My dad had an affair
with one of his female coworkers.
- [Esra] Oh!
- Oh, he did?
So, he told my mom
after feeling remorseful.
He made a rookie mistake.
And she went to Tokyo afterward.
Honestly, she ran off.
- Of course, she would do that.
- I know.
I would have crushed his ba*ls
before he had the chance to leave.
- [Beliz laughs]
- Ruthlessly.
- [Funda laughs]
- [Murat] All right.
[clears throat] Interesting picture.
What did your dad do?
What was the logical thing to do?
My dad left his job and went after her.
And you lived with your uncle
to not get caught
between their disputes, right?
Yeah.
I think
that they couldn't get over that incident.
My dad continues to feel guilty,
and Mom is still so furious.
Besides, even the slightest disturbance
can result in high tensions.
Yet they've been together for a long time.
- They could have just left one another.
- [Esra] Hmm.
- Right?
- Yeah.
Maybe I was the reason
why they stayed together.
I don't see any other explanation.
- [Funda] Aww! I don't think so.
- [Esra] No.
I think that my dad...
kept his head down
because he didn't want to let me down.
And it isn't surprising
that my mom doesn't like to fail.
She would rather die
than to end her marriage.
- [phone chimes]
- Hmm.
- Guess who just texted me.
- Hmm, that's your mom?
- [Funda laughs]
- [Murat grunts softly]
"Leyla, dear.
We'll be heading back this Wednesday."
"We'd love to see you before we leave."
"You should let us know
when's the best time to meet."
"So we'll see you soon.
We love you. We'll see you soon."
- Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- [Esra laughs]
Don't you see?
They still act like everything's fine.
Because they continue to be very prideful.
Love, just forget about it,
for crying out loud.
You know, bringing it up
is like beating a dead horse. Huh?
[Murat] Oh, my God.
Don't keep dragging it out.
They could do whatever they want,
it's their lives.
- [phone rings]
- Sarp, I think your mom's calling.
A-ha. It's now my mom's turn
to give me a call.
- [Esra] Want some salad?
- Excuse me.
- [Leyla] Hmm.
- Mom, how are you?
[Leyla] Thank you.
What?
- In which clinic?
- Did he say "clinic"?
All right, Mom, I'll be there soon.
What is it, Sarp?
Uh... my dad had a heart attack
and is in intensive care.
- [all exclaim]
- [Murat] Let's go.
[tense music plays]
- Um, before we go, do I cover anything?
- Huh? I don't think so. Wait.
[Leyla] Life truly is a game.
First, you think you have multiple lives,
but then you realize, you didn't have any.
And when you think the game is over,
bing! You're given another life.
[door closes]
Just when you're about to rebel,
life reminds you of the end
you thought would never come.
["Dünya Dursun"
by Can Ozan & Dilan Balkay plays]
Those endless fights
suddenly seem childish.
And you feel ashamed
of the minute problems
that once seemed so big.
When the heart lacks oxygen,
you experience a sharp, stinging pain.
That discomfort warns you
about the heart attack.
It appears that pain
is necessary for our survival.
[Mahir] Angina pectoris.
Did you know that, medically,
that pain is called angina pectoris?
- I didn't know that.
- Oh, too bad.
"Not arteriosclerosis,
nor nicotine, nor prison,
and that's the reason, my dear doctor,
why I have angina pectoris."
[laughs]
Nâzım Hikmet.
This is what he used to seduce you, right?
With lyrics and sonnets.
[laughs]
Every Wednesday, I would meet him
at this bench at two o'clock.
Mahir took the bus
from his university at ITU to come here,
and I would come after my lecture.
[chuckles fondly]
He would never forget
to go to our favorite place
and buy us sandwiches.
Oh! It'd be a picnic.
- Light on the sauce.
- Lots of pickles too.
- They were hot dogs.
- You're right! They weren't sandwiches.
[all laugh]
- Never changes.
- Then we'd sit here enjoying the company.
We'd read poems and also books.
Sometimes we'd argue
over the films we'd seen.
[Mahir chuckles]
- And always end up laughing.
- [both laugh]
That's how I've seen you guys.
Before this, you...
Wait, wait, wait a minute.
I know what you're going to say.
Stop thinking there is a set bar,
all right?
Because a relationship doesn't have one.
It's just about compromise,
and understanding each other.
Hmm?
Having patience.
And also forgiveness.
[tender music plays]
Mmm, having patience.
And also forgiveness.
Leyla, dear,
it's possible to lose interest
in the person
you'll later decide to be with.
You could get distracted,
you could even feel lost,
at any point in your relationship.
And also a bit neglected by them.
It's not easy to love someone.
And it's even harder to love someone
despite their flaws.
[laughs] You ever know
anyone who's flawless?
Who's perfect? Come on. Show me, huh?
[chuckles fondly]
[chuckles]
Everything we've...
experienced in the last 40 years
has been real.
- Mm-hmm.
- We've accepted this about ourselves.
We don't see this as a game.
It's also not a show.
And we're still together.
Because our love proved to be much greater
than any of our shortcomings.
We're friends.
- We're lovers.
- We're lovers.
Darling.
My love.
My sweetheart.
Oh, my dear girl.
["Benimle Oynar Mısın?" by Kalben plays]
[Leyla] Dear Ömer,
it breaks my heart that we haven't spoken
to each other
in the past couple of months.
And I understand why.
You're keeping your distance from me
out of respect for your girlfriend.
You're right. It's only fair.
But when I can't talk to you,
the words build up inside me.
So instead of waiting
for the perfect moment,
I decided to write to you.
I've gone through so many things lately.
For example, I got reacquainted
with my parents.
My dad dropped his hero facade
and was vulnerable with me.
Mom showed me her scars
for the first time.
Turns out they're just like everyone else.
[chuckles sadly]
Can you believe it?
[gentle music plays]
That helped me pull myself together.
I created a rundown of my recent years.
And I realized that I made
so many assumptions.
Here, eat some of this.
I never asked, I only assumed.
I never listened,
I just said what was on my mind.
I never understood, I only judged.
And worst of all,
I never fixed my broken pieces.
I just left them lying there.
But they call out to me.
- You see, I'm still at ground zero...
- [doorbell rings]
...wandering through the wreckage.
I realized I was also to blame
for the damage we left behind.
- Ömer just dropped him off.
- [Buddy pants]
- Thank you, Mr. Dursun.
- You're welcome.
Buddy.
I understand that having
the last word doesn't matter.
And that victories and defeats
are both poisonous to a relationship.
[sweeping melancholic music plays]
[ringtone plays on phone]
[exhales heavily]
When you lose someone,
pain can cloud your mind.
But eventually, it slowly dawns on you.
First, your anger becomes regret,
then understanding.
And finally, longing.
Nothing is worth deliberately losing
someone you love.
I'm well aware of that now.
My dear Ömer,
you're incredibly precious to me.
[imam] Let us pray for Suleiman's soul.
[Leyla] You're both my best friend
and the one I've always loved,
and will always love.
Regardless of what happens to us,
or who we may meet,
I don't want to lose you.
Never.
I just wanted you to know.
- Thank you.
- So Buddy could stay with me?
You'll be busy helping Sarp.
I can keep him for a week. Okay?
- All right, sounds good.
- Okay.
- [car door closes]
- [engine turns off]
[lock clicks]
- Buddy! Come on, boy, you're leaving.
- Aw.
[Buddy pants happily]
[Leyla sighs]
[keys jingle softly]
- Oh, come over here!
- Do you want some coffee?
No, thanks, I'm good.
By the way, I, uh, bought these yesterday.
They were cheaper and smell nice.
Oh. [sniffs]
I really appreciated your letter.
I read it several times.
You should have thrown it away.
You can get into trouble.
I really won't.
I don't have anyone anymore.
Really? Then it's over?
Yeah, it is. Because...
you're also very precious to me.
[romantic music plays]
My most precious person.
It's like having a photo negative of you.
Because I can't share it,
or have it copied.
You can't duplicate it.
[kisses]
[sighs happily]
[Ömer] Oh, Buddy's waiting.
[both laugh]
- Oh, no.
- Oh, God.
I'm coming, boy. I won't make you wait.
- Aww.
- [panting happily]
[Ömer] Aww.
Okay, let's go.
[vehicle approaching]
[gently suspenseful music plays]
Leyla!
Leyla!
- Where's Leyla?
- [Murat] I think she can explain.
[Ömer] There's nothing more to say.
- [grunts]

Miss the pandemic or Ömer?
171
00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:58,041
No, I don't think that was it.
172
00:09:59,333 --> 00:10:01,583
Everything was different
during the pandemic.
173
00:10:03,208 --> 00:10:05,916
It was like everyone sought
shelter in each other.
174
00:10:07,375 --> 00:10:09,458
As if the end of the world was nearing.
175
00:10:11,541 --> 00:10:13,916
Ömer moved in with you
during the time of the pandemic.
176
00:10:15,416 --> 00:10:16,416
Right?
177
00:10:17,916 --> 00:10:20,750
- [man plays guitar in distance]
- [both laugh]
178
00:10:21,333 --> 00:10:23,083
- [Ömer] He's good.
- [Leyla] Whoo!
179
00:10:23,166 --> 00:10:24,250
[chuckles]
180
00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:27,708
Bravo! Bravo!
181
00:10:27,791 --> 00:10:28,666
[Leyla laughs]
182
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:30,500
[laughs] He's stunned.
183
00:10:31,083 --> 00:10:33,333
- [tender music plays]
- Okay, who's going to cook?
184
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:34,833
Mmm.
185
00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:37,250
[Leyla] <i>A person's reality can shift</i>
186
00:10:37,333 --> 00:10:40,041
<i>based on the circumstances
of their situation.</i>
187
00:10:40,583 --> 00:10:42,791
<i>During that time, we feared</i>
188
00:10:42,875 --> 00:10:45,708
<i>that our hopes and dreams might disappear.</i>
189
00:10:45,791 --> 00:10:47,750
[chuckles] <i>And never return.</i>
190
00:10:52,958 --> 00:10:55,500
<i>Everything was so different
at the beginning.</i>
191
00:10:55,583 --> 00:10:59,041
<i>The whole world was focusing
on resolving a single problem.</i>
192
00:10:59,833 --> 00:11:01,416
<i>Everyone was afraid of the same thing.</i>
193
00:11:02,416 --> 00:11:06,000
<i>We fought against a common enemy,
and that was encouraging.</i>
194
00:11:11,833 --> 00:11:12,916
[blows]
195
00:11:16,791 --> 00:11:18,791
[Ömer breathes hoarsely]
196
00:11:20,541 --> 00:11:22,000
- [sobbing] Leyla?
- My love.
197
00:11:22,666 --> 00:11:24,250
- I love you so much.
- Oh!
198
00:11:24,333 --> 00:11:27,375
[chuckles] What did you dream about?
199
00:11:28,125 --> 00:11:30,083
To be honest, it felt so realistic.
200
00:11:30,583 --> 00:11:32,166
- [sighs sadly]
- Did I die?
201
00:11:33,166 --> 00:11:34,208
It was your wedding.
202
00:11:34,875 --> 00:11:35,791
Yeah?
203
00:11:35,875 --> 00:11:39,333
[sniffles] You wore your granny's dress,
the one you've always mentioned.
204
00:11:39,416 --> 00:11:41,625
And my hair? Did I let my hair down?
205
00:11:41,708 --> 00:11:43,000
You did.
206
00:11:44,333 --> 00:11:45,666
And Sarp was next to you.
207
00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:47,500
No way!
208
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:50,541
What made it worse
is that I was your witness.
209
00:11:50,625 --> 00:11:54,208
You should've seen my mouth disappear
every time I tried to speak up.
210
00:11:54,291 --> 00:11:58,125
Then, baby, you looked at me and shouted,
"I do, till death do us part!"
211
00:11:58,208 --> 00:12:00,875
No, but Ömer,
maybe I get to say "I do" to you instead.
212
00:12:00,958 --> 00:12:02,375
I don't want to marry to him.
213
00:12:02,458 --> 00:12:04,041
- Really?
- Of course!
214
00:12:04,125 --> 00:12:05,500
- [chuckles]
- Then what?
215
00:12:06,750 --> 00:12:08,541
[sighs heavily]
216
00:12:08,625 --> 00:12:09,625
You guys kissed.
217
00:12:10,458 --> 00:12:12,041
It was awful, I cried a lot.
218
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:14,916
[exhales heavily] I got so mad.
219
00:12:15,541 --> 00:12:16,541
That as*h*le.
220
00:12:16,958 --> 00:12:18,958
Aww, Ömer. [chuckles]
221
00:12:19,041 --> 00:12:20,958
Please stop crying, my love.
222
00:12:21,041 --> 00:12:22,458
It hurts me to see you in tears.
223
00:12:22,541 --> 00:12:24,583
Did that fool Sarp
snatch me away from you?
224
00:12:24,666 --> 00:12:26,041
[both laugh]
225
00:12:26,125 --> 00:12:29,666
I think I must have lost my memory.
How else could I have left you?
226
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:31,250
[chuckles]
227
00:12:35,208 --> 00:12:36,250
[groans]
228
00:12:36,916 --> 00:12:38,375
[breathes hoarsely]
229
00:12:38,875 --> 00:12:40,541
- I'll tell you what.
- Hmm?
230
00:12:42,041 --> 00:12:43,041
[sighs]
231
00:12:43,875 --> 00:12:44,875
[groans]
232
00:12:45,958 --> 00:12:47,250
Will you marry me?
233
00:12:48,875 --> 00:12:49,791
Hmm?
234
00:12:49,875 --> 00:12:51,666
So someone like Sarp won't take me away?
235
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:53,958
No, I'm being serious. Will you marry me?
236
00:12:55,916 --> 00:12:56,916
All right.
237
00:12:57,875 --> 00:12:58,708
Are you kidding me?
238
00:12:58,791 --> 00:13:01,291
- [laughs]
- Yes! [groans]
239
00:13:01,375 --> 00:13:02,583
[coughs and laughs]
240
00:13:02,666 --> 00:13:04,625
Are we actually engaged now?
241
00:13:04,708 --> 00:13:06,958
I need to call my parents right now
and tell them.
242
00:13:07,041 --> 00:13:08,041
Okay.
243
00:13:09,083 --> 00:13:11,541
The pandemic ends, and so does the dream.
244
00:13:11,625 --> 00:13:12,833
[lonesome music plays]
245
00:13:12,916 --> 00:13:14,916
I know that under normal circumstances,
246
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,416
we would not have made
certain choices just like that,
247
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:21,041
but at the time, I was still contemplating
248
00:13:21,125 --> 00:13:23,541
our idea of possibly living together.
249
00:13:23,625 --> 00:13:26,333
And before I knew it,
he was already moving in.
250
00:13:26,916 --> 00:13:29,208
Everyone has their own habits
and routines,
251
00:13:29,291 --> 00:13:31,291
but there's a limit to what we can endure.
252
00:13:31,375 --> 00:13:34,833
Passing beyond that
makes things unpleasant.
253
00:13:35,416 --> 00:13:38,125
And when there's only one bathroom
in the apartment,
254
00:13:38,625 --> 00:13:41,125
there's no more room for romance at all.
255
00:13:41,208 --> 00:13:44,833
[laughs] A relationship deals with...
256
00:13:47,583 --> 00:13:50,541
accepting everything about your partner.
257
00:13:52,250 --> 00:13:53,625
[chuckles]
258
00:13:54,625 --> 00:13:56,833
Only you and Mom can make it work.
259
00:13:58,375 --> 00:13:59,708
And nobody else.
260
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:03,416
[chuckles fondly]
261
00:14:10,125 --> 00:14:11,166
You have...
262
00:14:12,291 --> 00:14:14,416
honestly, set the bar extremely high
263
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:16,083
for my future boyfriends.
264
00:14:23,291 --> 00:14:24,291
[father sighs]
265
00:14:24,958 --> 00:14:27,000
Are you still deeply in love with her?
266
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:28,500
Mmm.
267
00:14:29,458 --> 00:14:31,875
It's hard to find the perfect words
to describe our love.
268
00:14:31,958 --> 00:14:34,291
[laughs] Oh, Dad! You guys are amazing!
269
00:14:34,375 --> 00:14:35,500
[both laugh]
270
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:37,958
- You know what?
- Hmm?
271
00:14:38,041 --> 00:14:40,666
I'm happy we could discuss
what was bothering you.
272
00:14:42,958 --> 00:14:46,666
- I have... spoken for a while now.
- Hmm.
273
00:14:47,375 --> 00:14:49,291
Single chit-chatting.
274
00:14:50,083 --> 00:14:50,958
Detoxing.
275
00:14:51,041 --> 00:14:52,125
[chuckles]
276
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:55,125
Let's go join them outside.
277
00:14:56,375 --> 00:14:57,375
We're here.
278
00:14:57,833 --> 00:14:59,791
- Ah!
- [Leyla] Buddy, my love!
279
00:14:59,875 --> 00:15:01,291
[Buddy pants happily]
280
00:15:03,250 --> 00:15:05,750
Hmm. Did you finish talking
behind my back?
281
00:15:05,833 --> 00:15:07,708
No, we couldn't start talking about you.
282
00:15:07,791 --> 00:15:09,500
- It took that long?
- Yes, it did.
283
00:15:09,583 --> 00:15:11,583
Okay, it's time for dinner.
The table's set.
284
00:15:11,666 --> 00:15:13,291
All right, we'll be right there.
285
00:15:15,583 --> 00:15:18,125
So, I heard we'd be having a guest soon.
286
00:15:18,208 --> 00:15:20,250
Are you sure? Friend?
287
00:15:23,666 --> 00:15:24,666
Are you kidding me?
288
00:15:25,250 --> 00:15:27,583
No, I'm not. Your uncle invited me.
289
00:15:27,666 --> 00:15:29,291
[father] You can put these on the table.
290
00:15:29,375 --> 00:15:30,458
[mother] Okay, dear.
291
00:15:33,666 --> 00:15:35,125
- Hello, Mr. Cem.
- How are you?
292
00:15:35,208 --> 00:15:36,041
I'll take these.
293
00:15:36,125 --> 00:15:38,416
- Cem, welcome.
- Hello. I haven't come late, have I?
294
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:40,340
Of course not.
You're right on time once again.
295
00:15:40,416 --> 00:15:42,250
Could that be the famous serial k*ller?
296
00:15:42,958 --> 00:15:44,500
[Can] Don't mention it. Glad you came.
297
00:15:44,583 --> 00:15:46,351
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you, I appreciate it.
298
00:15:46,375 --> 00:15:49,416
Reyhan, dear, Mahir, dear.
Meet our guest, Cem Murathan.
299
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:51,458
He's our neighbor and one of our clients.
300
00:15:51,541 --> 00:15:53,458
My sister, Reyhan Taylan.
301
00:15:53,541 --> 00:15:54,958
- Pleased to meet you.
- Likewise.
302
00:15:55,041 --> 00:15:56,684
- Thank you.
- [Can] And her husband, Mahir.
303
00:15:56,708 --> 00:15:58,250
- Mr. Mahir.
- Nice to meet you.
304
00:15:58,875 --> 00:16:01,125
- We actually met each other before.
- That right?
305
00:16:01,208 --> 00:16:04,500
Yeah. I met you quite a long time ago,
so I'm happy I was able to come.
306
00:16:04,583 --> 00:16:06,416
Why didn't you tell me about this?
307
00:16:07,583 --> 00:16:09,166
- Uh...
- [Reyhan chuckles awkwardly]
308
00:16:09,250 --> 00:16:10,791
- This way.
- Go ahead.
309
00:16:12,125 --> 00:16:14,208
Can, look at these bottles
from the auction.
310
00:16:14,291 --> 00:16:16,333
They're all '72s. That's your birth year.
311
00:16:16,416 --> 00:16:17,541
[chuckles]
312
00:16:20,833 --> 00:16:23,250
It really is a great gift.
Thank you very much, Cem.
313
00:16:23,333 --> 00:16:25,750
- You didn't have to get me anything.
- No problem.
314
00:16:25,833 --> 00:16:26,958
I'm glad you liked it.
315
00:16:27,041 --> 00:16:28,041
[Reyhan chuckles]
316
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:30,541
- [Somer] Cheers, everyone.
- [Can] Enjoy, everyone.
317
00:16:32,041 --> 00:16:32,875
[Somer] Mmm.
318
00:16:32,958 --> 00:16:35,875
Mmm! My gosh, this is incredible.
319
00:16:35,958 --> 00:16:37,718
Come, drink some, Mahir.
So you can taste it.
320
00:16:37,750 --> 00:16:40,125
[sighs] I stay away from alcohol nowadays.
321
00:16:40,208 --> 00:16:42,500
My stomach just doesn't tolerate it
any longer.
322
00:16:42,583 --> 00:16:45,708
- My serving can be for my wife to enjoy.
- I would gladly take it from him.
323
00:16:45,791 --> 00:16:46,958
[men chuckle]
324
00:16:47,041 --> 00:16:49,708
So, could you pick up
where we left off, Cem?
325
00:16:50,375 --> 00:16:54,291
Tell us more about how you... and my dad
were able to meet each other.
326
00:16:54,375 --> 00:16:57,541
Hmm. Oh, that's right.
Uh, you said that we had met before.
327
00:16:58,833 --> 00:17:01,083
It was at a symposium held in Milan.
328
00:17:01,166 --> 00:17:03,166
I was studying architecture at the time.
329
00:17:03,666 --> 00:17:06,083
You were excited to work
on your latest project.
330
00:17:07,875 --> 00:17:08,958
It was in '09.
331
00:17:10,208 --> 00:17:11,875
Yeah, it was 2009.
332
00:17:11,958 --> 00:17:14,500
You had explained
the psychology of buildings.
333
00:17:16,083 --> 00:17:17,333
But you were describing it
334
00:17:17,416 --> 00:17:20,250
as if you were referring
to a woman you loved.
335
00:17:21,166 --> 00:17:23,041
Yes, I remember. Uh, hmm.
336
00:17:24,458 --> 00:17:25,833
I don't remember Milan.
337
00:17:26,375 --> 00:17:27,500
No, my love, you wouldn't,
338
00:17:27,583 --> 00:17:29,463
since you were living
with your uncle that year.
339
00:17:29,541 --> 00:17:32,208
You're right, that takes me back
to our very first summer.
340
00:17:32,291 --> 00:17:35,458
My poor heart couldn't keep up with you.
You were an active little kid
341
00:17:35,541 --> 00:17:37,750
who always ran all over the house,
never slowing down.
342
00:17:37,833 --> 00:17:39,208
I was basically your nanny.
343
00:17:39,291 --> 00:17:41,208
[scattered laughs]
344
00:17:42,708 --> 00:17:44,375
And what project was that, Dad?
345
00:17:45,833 --> 00:17:47,375
Uh, I never completed that one
346
00:17:47,458 --> 00:17:49,708
because so many things
continued to go wrong.
347
00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:52,041
Hmm. Oh, I see.
348
00:17:52,666 --> 00:17:53,791
It's a shame.
349
00:17:54,583 --> 00:17:58,750
Honestly, the, uh... [sniffs] project
was never finished,
350
00:17:58,833 --> 00:18:00,541
uh, because it was quite challenging.
351
00:18:00,625 --> 00:18:02,708
It was only promising on paper.
352
00:18:02,791 --> 00:18:05,791
So then, uh, Reyhan took a job in Tokyo,
353
00:18:05,875 --> 00:18:07,125
and we moved there.
354
00:18:07,208 --> 00:18:11,000
[sighs] I've always given you the option
to decide whether to go or not.

356
00:18:12,166 --> 00:18:13,291
You could have stayed.
357
00:18:13,875 --> 00:18:17,416
How was I supposed to endure
your absence for so long, love?
358
00:18:18,958 --> 00:18:22,416
[chuckles] You guys clearly have
some stories to share.
359
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:24,333
[Reyhan] Ah! Yes, a story!
360
00:18:24,416 --> 00:18:26,041
We all have stories to share.
361
00:18:26,125 --> 00:18:27,416
They're all around us.
362
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:29,416
Our life is a story, isn't it, my love?
363
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:31,833
- [both laugh]
- Then, a toast to our stories.
364
00:18:32,416 --> 00:18:33,750
[laughs] Cheers.

Come on, don't tell everyone.
374

I'll blow these out, and that'll be it.

- Cheers.
- [Can] Drink up!
378
00:19:33,166 --> 00:19:34,458
You've been quiet today.
379
00:19:35,583 --> 00:19:36,916
I don't think so.
380
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:38,500
[chuckles dryly]
381
00:19:40,416 --> 00:19:42,625
Can we take a walk? I want to talk to you.
382
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:45,750
Don't worry about the book
that was written.
383
00:19:46,250 --> 00:19:49,791
Our plan is to prevent Ms. Tuba
from officially printing it.
384
00:19:50,333 --> 00:19:52,773
This week, we'll issue a legal notice
to the publishing house.
385
00:19:55,208 --> 00:19:58,125
It wasn't that,
but thanks a lot for helping out.
386
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:01,416
Your secrets will continue
to be safe with you.
387
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:02,708
So you can rest easy.
388
00:20:03,375 --> 00:20:05,875
I suppose one secret
was revealed to us tonight.
389
00:20:07,291 --> 00:20:09,916
How come you never said anything
about knowing my dad?
390
00:20:11,875 --> 00:20:14,416
That's right, afterward,
we didn't get to talk much.
391
00:20:15,208 --> 00:20:16,125
You weren't there.
392

[wistful music plays]
393
00:20:19,291 --> 00:20:20,291
[sighs]
394
00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:23,333
And you were hurt.
395
00:20:24,750 --> 00:20:25,750
I know.
396
00:20:26,208 --> 00:20:28,833
No, you're wrong. I wasn't hurt at all.
397
00:20:28,916 --> 00:20:31,291
I would only be hurting
if I had cared for you.
398
00:20:32,333 --> 00:20:36,166
But I... don't harbor
any thoughts of you at all.
399
00:20:37,333 --> 00:20:40,666
And to be frank, I couldn't care less
whether you are around or not.
400
00:20:40,750 --> 00:20:41,750
So, yeah.
401
00:20:42,416 --> 00:20:46,666
I think, um, it's good
that we haven't wasted each other's time.
402
00:20:47,250 --> 00:20:48,583
I'm honestly grateful.
403
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:52,500
I admit, I got curious
about the attraction between us.
404
00:20:54,125 --> 00:20:55,750
Now, we won't be left wondering.
405
00:20:57,958 --> 00:20:59,166
Um, so that's it.
406
00:20:59,791 --> 00:21:02,833
It wasn't... some extraordinary thing.
407
00:21:04,208 --> 00:21:06,291
But a short tryst.
408
00:21:07,791 --> 00:21:10,416
That's why, uh, everything is good.
409
00:21:11,833 --> 00:21:13,083
I won't, um...
410
00:21:14,208 --> 00:21:16,875
be devastated. Um, I'll be perfectly fine.

[musical arrangement turns anxious]

You know what? I think I'm done
talking about this with you.
413
00:21:24,541 --> 00:21:26,208
My parents probably need my help.

- [Reyhan] Stop being a hypocrite.
- [Mahir] I'm not the hypocrite.
418
00:22:18,875 --> 00:22:21,075
You're the professional liar.
That's your job, isn't it?
419
00:22:21,625 --> 00:22:23,785
[Reyhan] You love to play the hero
when Leyla's around,
420
00:22:23,833 --> 00:22:26,125
and you don't realize
the damage you've caused.
421
00:22:26,208 --> 00:22:28,916
I've been silent because that is
what you wanted me to do.
422
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,280
I'm okay with exposing our mess.
423
00:22:30,333 --> 00:22:33,125
Then tell her
that you are also a Casanova.
424
00:22:33,208 --> 00:22:36,166
Besides, your father's debt
led you to change your last name.
425
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,833
And what makes you think
I won't let her know?
426
00:22:38,916 --> 00:22:41,791
Be honest and say why you don't drink.
Explain that you went to rehab.
427
00:22:41,875 --> 00:22:42,916
How could you lie to her?
428
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,208
Tell her you cheated on me
with that b*tch.
429
00:22:45,291 --> 00:22:47,041
She talks about some bar you've set.
430
00:22:47,125 --> 00:22:49,541
Why don't you show her
just how low that bar could go?
431
00:22:50,041 --> 00:22:52,208
- [plate shatters]
- [melancholic music plays]
432
00:22:57,208 --> 00:22:58,458
You both lied.
433
00:23:01,666 --> 00:23:03,625
Now I know the farce is over.
434
00:23:06,250 --> 00:23:08,541
That is our harsh reality, love.
435
00:23:08,625 --> 00:23:11,625
Hold on. Did you find out
what happened to them in 2009?
436
00:23:12,875 --> 00:23:16,458
My dad had an affair
with one of his female coworkers.
437
00:23:16,541 --> 00:23:17,625
- [Esra] Oh!
- Oh, he did?
438
00:23:17,708 --> 00:23:20,291
So, he told my mom
after feeling remorseful.
439
00:23:20,375 --> 00:23:22,750
He made a rookie mistake.
440
00:23:23,333 --> 00:23:25,791
And she went to Tokyo afterward.
Honestly, she ran off.
441
00:23:26,375 --> 00:23:28,291
- Of course, she would do that.
- I know.
442
00:23:29,125 --> 00:23:32,375
I would have crushed his ba*ls
before he had the chance to leave.
443
00:23:32,458 --> 00:23:34,166
- [Beliz laughs]
- Ruthlessly.
444
00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:35,958
- [Funda laughs]
- [Murat] All right.
445
00:23:36,041 --> 00:23:37,916
[clears throat] Interesting picture.
446
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,208
What did your dad do?
447
00:23:40,041 --> 00:23:43,958
What was the logical thing to do?
My dad left his job and went after her.
448
00:23:44,041 --> 00:23:45,583
And you lived with your uncle
449
00:23:45,666 --> 00:23:48,625
to not get caught
between their disputes, right?
450
00:23:50,583 --> 00:23:51,583
Yeah.
451
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,000
I think
452
00:23:54,666 --> 00:23:56,583
that they couldn't get over that incident.
453
00:23:56,666 --> 00:24:00,250
My dad continues to feel guilty,
and Mom is still so furious.
454
00:24:00,791 --> 00:24:03,750
Besides, even the slightest disturbance
can result in high tensions.
455
00:24:03,833 --> 00:24:05,875
Yet they've been together for a long time.
456
00:24:05,958 --> 00:24:08,059
- They could have just left one another.
- [Esra] Hmm.
457
00:24:08,083 --> 00:24:09,541
- Right?
- Yeah.
458
00:24:10,541 --> 00:24:12,916
Maybe I was the reason
why they stayed together.
459
00:24:13,541 --> 00:24:15,125
I don't see any other explanation.
460
00:24:15,208 --> 00:24:17,166
- [Funda] Aww! I don't think so.
- [Esra] No.
461
00:24:19,541 --> 00:24:21,625
I think that my dad...
462
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:26,750
kept his head down
because he didn't want to let me down.
463
00:24:26,833 --> 00:24:30,250
And it isn't surprising
that my mom doesn't like to fail.
464
00:24:30,833 --> 00:24:32,666
She would rather die
than to end her marriage.
465
00:24:32,750 --> 00:24:34,291
- [phone chimes]
- Hmm.
466
00:24:34,875 --> 00:24:37,416
- Guess who just texted me.
- Hmm, that's your mom?
467
00:24:38,208 --> 00:24:39,916
- [Funda laughs]
- [Murat grunts softly]
468

"Leyla, dear.
We'll be heading back this Wednesday."
469
00:24:43,666 --> 00:24:45,750
"We'd love to see you before we leave."
470
00:24:45,833 --> 00:24:48,375
"You should let us know
when's the best time to meet."
471
00:24:48,458 --> 00:24:51,875
"So we'll see you soon.
We love you. We'll see you soon."
472
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:54,041
- Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- [Esra laughs]
473
00:24:54,125 --> 00:24:56,583
Don't you see?
They still act like everything's fine.
474
00:24:56,666 --> 00:24:59,666
Because they continue to be very prideful.
475
00:24:59,750 --> 00:25:01,916
Love, just forget about it,
for crying out loud.
476
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,625
You know, bringing it up
is like beating a dead horse. Huh?
477
00:25:04,708 --> 00:25:05,791
[Murat] Oh, my God.
478
00:25:06,791 --> 00:25:07,871
Don't keep dragging it out.
479
00:25:07,916 --> 00:25:10,208
They could do whatever they want,
it's their lives.

to give me a call.

- Excuse me.

00:25:18,208 --> 00:25:19,875
- [Leyla] Hmm.
- Mom, how are you?
484
00:25:20,666 --> 00:25:21,666
[Leyla] Thank you.
485
00:25:23,041 --> 00:25:24,041
What?
486
00:25:26,083 --> 00:25:28,541
- In which clinic?
- Did he say "clinic"?
487
00:25:29,416 --> 00:25:31,041
All right, Mom, I'll be there soon.
488
00:25:31,708 --> 00:25:32,833
What is it, Sarp?
489
00:25:32,916 --> 00:25:37,250

and is in intensive care.

It's just about compromise,
