01x05 - Acceptance

[bunniefuu]

Between the World and Us

Burçin, come over
here! Come here!

What the hell is going
on here? What is this?

Come here! Just come!

I miss you so much. Come here!

- Listen, this is the best part!
- Don't be silly. What are you doing?

Oh, for the love of God!

How many years has it been
since you quit smoking?

Never mind. Life is short!

Look, just look. Look
at my work of art.

Whoa!

That's really good!

I don't believe it.

Wait a minute!

Hold on, I'm in shock right now.

You had a very serious accident.

You should be resting, but
here you are having a party!

Uh-uh, I'm fine.

Like f*ck you're fine!

You don't take your medicine, don't
rest. How are you going to get better?

Burçin, what am I supposed
to do? Sit around and grieve?

No, dear, of course I'm
not saying grieve, but…

Okay, anyway, look, I'm almost better.
I'll be back to work in a day or two.

What? And you're going back
to work, is that right?

Darling, It's not just an accident,
you've also had a very serious breakup.

Burçin, it's okay.
Don't drag it out.

Look, after this accident, I really
realized the value of my own life.

Nothing is more important than my life.
Especially Tolga, I don't care about him!

I was going to leave him
anyway, you know that.

Let him do whatever he wants.

Hi, hello,
honey, how are you?

I'm fine, fine, thanks.

I wanted to ask you a favor.

Uh, you know when you
were in a boating accident

and your doctor recommended a
holistic healer. Who was that?

Kenan?

Holistic therapist, huh?

I see. A friend of
mine is not well.

What do you think, would
you recommend that guy?

No way! Really! Wow!

You're saying he changed
your life. That's great!

Thank you
so much, honey!

- Okay.
- Yes.

Come with me.

- Don't open them!
- Okay.

- You promised. Don't open them!
- I promise.

Okay, I've got you right
now. Walk a little bit.

Oh, I'm really excited.

Stop there! I'm
turning you around.

- Okay.
- Don't open your eyes!

- I'm letting you go. Keep them closed.
- I promise.

Open them!

Welcome to our new home!

You didn't!

I did.

And I paid a year in advance.

Wait a minute…

Really?

Wait... Wait a minute!

I can't believe how big it is!

Wait a minute!

The kitchen is in
the living room.

It's very nice.

Is there a bathtub?

There is.

I'm going! Yeah!

Yeah!

There's a bathtub in the
bedroom, my love! Oh, my!

Did you do that on purpose?

Yep. Do you like it?

So much.

- Mmm… I'm going to say something.
- Yeah?

You know, we're just
getting to know each other.

Don't you think
it's a little early?

What do you mean, we're just
getting to know each other?

We've been writing to
each other for months.

And no one knows
me better than you.

I know
from the messages.

Yeah, it's true…

Of course, it is.

You can even quiz me.

From the messages.

I remember them word
for word. Go on, ask.

- Ask me.
- No, no, honey. There's no need for that.

I'm sure you haven't forgotten.
There's no need for a quiz.

I've dreamt about
you for so long.

I don't want you to leave
my side for a minute.

So?

Are you up for
living with this man?

Huh?

- I can't hear you.
- Hmm.

Yes.

Oh…

Thank you so much.

You're so polite…

These are things I
would have liked to say,

but in fact you are the
biggest buffoon I've ever seen!

- Oh, forgive me.
- Huh?

I'm thinking and thinking,

and I can't come up with…

a single thing you've
got going for you.

What about the awards ceremony?
It seemed like we had something.

Argh! That was a
huge mistake. I was so drunk!

Huh? And last night,
were you also drunk?

That's what I want
to say. I drink too much.

Look, baby. Why are
you rejecting me?

We experienced something.
And you've been very happy.

Oh, look who's talking!

I'm not rejecting you either!

I've been after you for days.
There's nothing I haven't done.

- I paid 5,000 lira for these flowers!
- Shh.

Yes! We've had two
perfect nights.

Can you give me one reason
why you should run away?

Whoa!

Are you really busy? I still
have photos waiting for approval!

My love!

Oh, my.

Are you waiting for my approval?

I'll give you approval!

Okay, I'm...
I'm waiting. Come then.

Hmm. What were you just saying?

You were saying something.
You didn't finish.

I'm not saying anything anymore!

Have the samples arrived?
Can you call the factory?

I called ages ago. They're here,
and the team is looking them over.

Don't say that! I wish
you hadn't said that!

Can you run out and get my
pills? There's the prescription.

Do you really like
this TV series?

Oh, shush, shush.
I love this man!

My boss has a crush on you.
She watches your show all day long.

Oh, sorry!

For your boss…

Here, take the car.

But I'm jealous…

Hand that to me for a second.

- Bro, let's get someone to buy you one.
- Wait. I won't lick it.

There, take it.

It's your turn.

Hmm.

What should I
do? Buy an ice cream?

What do you mean?

Have you forgotten?

"It's your turn."

"It's your turn."

It's my turn.

What am
I supposed to do?

Ah!

- Tolga!
- I'm going to get ready.

There's a meeting. They're waiting
for you in front of Halil's house.

- A meeting?
- Yeah, bro.

That's not how
I remember our game.

Shouldn't you be
doing something else?

But what else?

What the hell? What else
am I supposed to do?

I need to get
back to work urgently.

Hello.

Everyone's here.
What's going on?

You'll see.

Welcome, Tolga
dear. Take a seat.

We need to talk about
this theater gig.

Tolga still doesn't know anything
about the accident, does he?

No, no, everyone's been
warned. Don't worry.

Forget about Tolga.

I found someone for you.

Burçin, isn't it a bit soon?

Sure, I found a guy
for you to flirt with!

Don't be ridiculous! This
guy will help you heal.

- Burçin?
- Hold on a second!

The doctor recommended him.
I researched him, I met him.

You met him already? Don't be
ridiculous! I don't want a babysitter.

What do you mean babysitter?
He's very qualified.

He has a lot of training,
certificates and whatnot.

Let him come and explain
it to you. That's all.

Nope.

Hah, he's here!

Ceylan, dear, can
you get the door?

Burçin, I definitely don't
want it. I don't want it.

Look at me. Don't you even
think about embarrassing me!

Welcome.

Mr. Kenan, it's so
nice to see you again.

Hello.

Hello.

So now you two meet,
talk, get to know each other.

I'm going to…

Hello.

Hello.

No, why doesn't
anyone understand me?

I mean, I've been in
this business for years.

I've been on set 24 hours a day.

I'm exhausted!

I want to improve myself. I want
to add depth to my acting somehow.

I mean, I want to
do theater. Yes!

But there's a contract in place.

Listen! I wouldn't
test me, if I were you.

Okay, gentlemen,
let's take a minute.

Tolga, you know how
much I love you.

I gave you your first show.

Let's end this here.

We can't work like this.

So, choose. Either
theater or the TV series.

Are you serious?

Fine.

Goodbye then. I quit!

Tolga!

Don't waste your time, I'm in a
hurry. I need to meet the painter.

What? Hey, stop!

Stop! Stop! Painter, what painter?
What's this about a painter?

I'm moving, I'm moving.

Where are you moving to?

I'm moving, that's all!

In with Sinem.

You're moving in with Sinem? You
literally just broke up with İlkin.

It's over, it's done.
Don't bring it up again.

Okay, so it's over and done.
What's the point of moving now?

You quit your job, there'll
be a penalty to pay…

Nobody listens to me! Nobody!

I'm trying to build a
new life! Just listen!

I'm trying to rebuild myself!

For the first time in my life I'm
excited about something. Is that a crime?

I want to do theater!
Is that a crime?

So either stand by
my side like a man…

And if I don't?

Then don't cast a
shadow over me, brother.

I'm listening to you.

Actually, I'm listening
to you.

You may have met my friend, but
I don't know anything about you.

I'm just going to
keep you waiting for a second.

I've got all the
time in the world.

Here you go.

You graduated from the sports academy.
You were on the national team.

You won medals, 400-meter
relay. Pentathlon.

Why are you doing this?

Because I'm good at what I do.

You studied nutrition
and dietetics.

Breath body awareness, mindful eating,
a lot of certificates… Okay.

I'll be frank with you, Kenan.

I don't need anybody.

I mean, I'm surrounded by
people who are worried about me.

I'm going to hire you…

I mean, on paper, so that the
people around me can leave me alone.

If it's okay with you,

you can start.

I wish you all the best in life.

Excuse me?

I'll be frank with
you, Ms. İlkin.

If we work together,
I set the terms.

Will that work for you?

What are your terms then?

I've read your reports.

There are some tests I'll
request. That's the first part.

I determine…

your nutrition, sleep,
exercise programs,

and I expect you to
follow them to a tee.

I won't accept the use of alcohol,
tobacco, or other substances.

I'll handle your medication
follow-up, you don't need to do it.

Most importantly, I won't
accept objections or bargaining.

Do as I say for two months,

and I will cure you
completely. That's it.

Where's the guy?

Your guy
turned out to be crazy.

So I sent him to the nearest psych ward,
he should be arriving any minute now.

g*dd*mn you! Did
you kick him out?

I've been dealing
with you for a month!

You won't talk about Tolga,
you're not trying to get better.

Oh, it's over, okay?
Okay, I'm giving up.

Do whatever the f*ck you want.
I'm not dealing with you anymore.

I'm leaving. Don't ask me anything
anymore! Okay? From now on, I'm out!

I talked
to the producer.

I convinced them, they
don't want any penalties.

You'll do one more episode,
then they'll k*ll you off.

They have one condition. They
don't want to work with you again.

Stop huffing and puffing!

When you find a new manager, let me
know, and I'll hand everything over.

All right, I'm off.

Aren't you going to say
anything? I'm leaving!

Oh, I hope you know
something I don't, Tolga.

Good evening.

I'd like to place an order.

Mm-hmm. Uh, I'd like an
order of crispy shrimp.

Uh, and a sashimi combo.

You already know
the address, right?

Yes, that's right, that's right.
But please hurry up, okay?

Thank you.

Ceylan!

The door's open!

Come in, come inside! It's open!

Ah… Let me help you.

What are you doing here?
Let go. Don't touch me!

Are you going to muster
up your courage any time soon?

I hope you feel better soon.

I didn't mean for it
to turn out this way.

I was your biggest fan.

I really didn't
want you to suffer.

I didn't want to hurt you.

Then why do you have
a guilty conscience?

Tolga's on a high right now.

He's like that at the beginning.

But you feel bad, don't you?

You feel guilty because
you're a good person.

Your conscience got the
better of you, right?

I didn't do any of it on
purpose. I didn't plan it.

I'm very sorry if
I've upset you.

Do you know what our
greatest skill is?

Deceiving ourselves.

So for a few days you
feel guilty, ashamed,

but then you forget about it.

I'm fine, by the way.

I'm done with Tolga.

Take him, he's all yours.

It's over for me.

You can go.

You know what?

You and I have
nothing in common.

Tolga will realize
sooner or later

that you're not who he's been writing to,
and fallen for before even seeing you.

He will realize.

You should think
about what to do then.

Hello, Burçin.

Send that man back
to me, my friend.

I accept his terms.

As long as he gets me back on
my feet as soon as possible.

I'll give you the
shopping list from now on.

Don't buy anything without
my knowledge, okay?

Of course, Mr. Kenan.

- Here you go.
- What's this?

When fractures occur in the
body, free radicals are released.

For treatment we
take antioxidants.

Let me introduce
lycopene and flavonoids.

Top floor,
first door on the right.

I like my bed.

That's okay, you'll
like this one too.

You can't get enough of
the candles, I swear.

What can I do? I want a lot of them.
I'll buy them all, put them everywhere.

My love,

imagine candles sparkling like this,
in the bathroom, in the living room…

- Is that Tolga from the TV show?
- It's always been my dream, you know?

- To take a bunch of candles and... Yeah!
- Candles?

Someone might take a photo…

Is it because İlkin might
get upset, if she saw?

My thoughtful lover,

my sensitive darling.

It doesn't matter, I'll wait.

I really will.

After you.

Here we go.

I've added another
calcium supplement.

Because that's all I'm missing.

Please watch something that won't
disturb your mental balance, Ms. İlkin.

I'm mentally balanced.

I know you're going through a
crisis in your personal life.

My personal life is
nobody's business.

And who are you to comment
on my personal life?

Do I ask about
your personal life?

Ms. İlkin, you accepted my
conditions. We talked about it.

Please calm down. You need
to sleep in half an hour.

When you get angry, your
adrenal glands release cortisol,

which keeps you awake.

Yes, dear.

Who is Kenan? Do you know Kenan?

You know, there's his CV. And
I called the references one by one...

I'm not asking about
those. Who is he really?

I mean, do we really know him?

Is he a thief or an angel? For
example, I think he's a psychopath!

What are you saying? Where is
he? Don't let him hear you.

He's with me.

He's next to me. He hears
everything. Because he's a robot…

Wait a minute!
Of course! I got it!

I think he's
definitely a sociopath!

Oh, please. Please,
don't mess with this guy.

People love him! And
are lining up for him.

Really! I love him too.
Didn't you see his shoulders?

And his a*s is so tiny!

You have a story.

I'll find it.

Life is like a
relentless timing error.

If I run,
I can't catch up.

If I stop, I'll be late.

Everything happens
to me too early.

Or too late.

Who knows how many paths

lead us to each other?

But we chose the most
difficult way out.

You moved on.

I was left alone at the
beginning of that street, İlkin.

Everything is a lie.

No one knows what's
inside of me.

Open your eyes, my love.

Help me. Save me.

Very good, Tolga!

That was great.

Let's take a
ten-minute break, huh?

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay, I'm fine. Really.

Are you sure you're okay?

- Why?
- You said İlkin a second ago.

It's okay, it happens.

After all, it just so happens to coincide
with a time when she was unwell too.

What unwell? Who's unwell?

- Don't you know?
- Know what?

I have a friend who works for
her magazine, she told me,

- I thought you knew.
- Know what, Başak?

Oh.

İlkin was in a car accident.

But she's fine, Tolga, she's
fine! It's over, she's recovered…

What's going on?

For f*ck's sake, banging on
the door like the police!

You knew.

You knew İlkin had an accident,
and you didn't tell me!

Sure, come to me
with these problems!

- How could you not tell me about this?
- What the f*ck has happened now?

You were moving in with the girl, you
quit your job, no? What happened now?

- Call her, I need to hear her voice.
- Why would I call?

- Where's your phone?
- Call her yourself!

- If everything's fine, you call her!
- Where's your phone?

- Call her!
- I'm not going to call her, you call her!

- I can't call her!
- Why not?

I can't talk to her.

I didn't understand at first.

I thought, what's the rush?

He f*cked up, he's running
around doing something.

But then it dawned on me.

He wants to start a new life from
scratch. Ha! Go f*ck yourself!

You're running around.
You know why, don't you?

Because the moment you stop,
everything will collapse around you.

Is she okay, at
least? Tell me that.

You thought you could just give
up on someone like that, huh?

You wanted someone
new, a new thrill.

You thought if you ran fast enough,
you wouldn't have to think of İlkin.

But I have bad news
for you, brother.

Look at me.

Look at me, look!

Run away all you want.

Spew your new bullshit
life left and right.

You lost İlkin!

It's not easy. Of course
it's going to hurt.

You'll get f*cked.
And I hope you do.

Face yourself, understand…

see what the f*ck you've done.

You changed your lover.
You changed your job.

You changed your house. I'm your
cousin, for f*ck's sake, you fired me!

That's how you end up all alone.

So you wanted a new life?

Ha! Get the f*ck out of
here and live your new life.

Get up, and f*ck right off!

Time for bed.

Ah, I don't feel sleepy yet.

Okay.

Do those breathing
exercises I showed you.

I'll be here another half hour. Call
me if anything happens, I'll come.

Have a good night.

Good night.

- Are you gonna tell me what's going on?
- It's nothing.

How can it be nothing? It's obvious
there's something on your mind.

It's nothing, Sinem. I mean, I came
to pick you up because I wanted to.

I'm going to take a shower.

You used to tell me everything.

You used to say it was
easy to talk to me.

Obviously, something's happened,
and you're not telling me.

Darling, can we talk later?

Is it about İlkin?

You wouldn't hold my hand
in public, now suddenly…

Look, listen to me, please.
I'm not a bad person, really.

Shh, okay, yeah, of course
you're not a bad person.

Ms. İlkin?

Get rid of these.

Get rid of these!

Our children
will hate us.

We'll eat all the
chocolate in the house.

We're not
going to have children.

Why not?

Because we're not
going to get married.

Oh, my God! Why's that?

- Baby, if we get married…
- Huh?

…we'll k*ll each other.

Why would we k*ll each other?

You really want to get
married, don't you?

No, I mean,

maybe one day.

- Huh.
- Huh?

That's fine. Hope you
invite me to your wedding.

You're talking nonsense.

Why, Tolga? I don't
like proposals.

What kind of proposals don't you like?
You know, if I propose to you right now,

I swear you'll cry your
eyes out. You'd shout yes!

Don't laugh. Really.

Okay, fine, if you
want it so badly.

Then propose.

- Right now?
- Immediately.

- Okay, I will.
- Propose, but know I won't say yes.

You think so!

Close your eyes. Close
them! Come on! Close them!

- Close them.
- Okay.

Close them.

Wait.

Open them.

Don't laugh for one minute.
Don't laugh. One minute.

I'm just going
to say one thing.

I know I will never be able to
conquer your heart completely.

I knew it the first
time I saw you.

I knew it, as sure
as my own name.

You're gonna make me very sad.

You'll destroy me.

But still…

I will always be…

happy with you…

in sorrow…

and in pain.

You know you said we'll k*ll
each other when we get married.

I'm also willing
to die with you.

Take this ring, so you
can remember this one day.

With this ring,

I won't forget you…

or what you said for
the rest of my life.

Ms. İlkin?

Ms. İlkin?

Ms. İlkin, can
you open the door?

Ms. İlkin!

If you're in front
of the door, move!

Get out of here.

Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay.

I beg you, take it off, take
it off my foot, I beg you.

Every time I see…

I don't want to think, I
don't want to remember,

but I miss him so much.

Calm
down. Breathe in.

Okay.

It's over.

Okay.

It's over.

Shall we go?

This may hurt a little.

Are you okay?

Try and get some sleep, okay?

Would it be okay if
you stayed tonight?

Okay.

Sure.

I'll take care of it.
