A NETFLIX SERIES
[dog barking]
[man] I'm not buying him more glasses. It's pointless.
He keeps getting beaten up anyway.
He's worthless, does nothing but cost me money.
And he's no different in the shop.
Just useless.
I don't know who he gets it from.
[woman] Don't say that. He's good at school.
[man] Spare me, for God's sake. That boy's not gonna amount to anything.
Life will crush him like a bug.
[rumbling]
Mommy!
Selim. I'm here. I'm here, baby.
[woman praying]
[woman screams]
[rumbling stops]
[knocks on window]
Hey. Open up.
What do you think you're doing outside the house?
Didn't I tell you to go get a room?
Hey, it's okay. I'm actually used to this.
Is Ada awake?
[soft music plays]
[music continues]
Good morning.
[Toprak sighs] Let's just stay like this.
I've missed you so much.
I have to get up. I need to pee.
[Toprak groans] Come back here.
[chuckles] I really need to go.
What is this, Ada?
Hm?
What are you doing?
[sighs]
[cell phone chimes]
-Has she gone insane? -Ugh, voicemail.
Instead of trying to save her marriage, she goes out and…
Ah, Mom, I only told you about all of that
so you wouldn't let it slip if Selim comes here.
-Don't make me regret it. -Okay, okay.
I couldn't even get him to go to a hotel. He's been sleeping in his car.
Oh.
-Here, take this one. Last one. -[doorbell rings]
Hey, take that.
If he's still here, and that's him, this is gonna be so bad.
You like your eggs over easy, right? And with thyme?
I don't eat eggs anymore. Thanks though.
Enjoy your breakfast.
Whoa, wait a minute.
-You're going? -Yeah.
Why? What's wrong?
Yeah, Toprak, what is wrong?
Why did we do this?
It doesn't make any sense.
What happened was stupid. It was pointless.
Was it, though?
Yeah, it was.
Do we really need to pretend it wasn't?
I don't think so.
[whispered] I'm… I'm gonna…
Ada.
Downtown's far. I'll give you a ride.
Don't worry. I'm good. I can walk.
Okay.
You'll just walk.
[Ada thinking] You're an idiot, and you had it coming.
What did you expect?
This is Zaman's fault.
Stranded between my mind and my heart?
Fuck my stupid, stupid heart.
[vehicle approaching]
Hey.
[whimsical music plays]
[sighs]
[music continues]
[grunting softly]
Ah… Ah…
Ah…
[grunting]
[grunts]
[sighs]
Pole dancing is finally paying off.
[knocking on door]
[Sevgi] Leyla?
Are you guys up yet?
Oh, good morning, sweetie.
-Good morning. -Oh, I guess I really overslept, didn't I?
Hey, Leyla, look at me for a sec.
-You went to bed with all that makeup on? -Uh-oh.
Did I really sleep with makeup on?
I didn't even notice.
[Sevgi] Sarpie boy.
Sarpie boy.
-[sighs sleepily] -Come on, baby. Wake up.
Let's get up. We have a guest visiting.
[gasps] What? My dad's here?
No, honey, it's not your dad. I mean…
I don't think your dad would drive all the way out here, babe.
[soft music plays]
Where have you been?
You've had me worried sick.
I'm okay, Sevgi. Don't worry about me.
Ada?
Please don't ask me anything about last night. Okay?
No, wait. I have something to…
tell you, but please, please don't get mad.
You said you had something to tell me, but you're not saying anything.
Just tell me.
Sevgi.
Baby…
How are you?
[whispers] Wasn't me.
[Muko] I asked Belgin to come over. You were so upset.
I thought it'd be a surprise for you.
Look, your tea is ready. Come and join us.
Thanks, but you shouldn't have, Muko.
There's a reason I didn't invite her.
[Muko] Ugh! Was she bitten by a snake as a child, Belgin?
She's definitely venomous.
Ada, wait.
-I had… no idea about this. -[door slams]
[Leyla] Belgin, please don't be too irritated with her.
She's been really upset lately.
Just the other day, she literally chewed me out.
[soft music plays]
I slept with someone.
[melancholy music plays]
Are you Ada's mother?
I am, sweetie.
And where is Ada's dad, then?
Honey, um,
Ada's dad is… He's in a place that we can't see.
The same place as my dad?
No, honey. [chuckles]
Not exactly like that, uh, God forbid. [knocks on table]
Sarp, um, have you learned to read, sweetie?
Come over here. I'll draw you some letters.
[whispers] Just give me one minute. I have to…
You can draw what I do, okay?
Here you go.
Hello, to all my darlings!
It's a very windy day out here in Cunda, and we're all feeling a little chilly.
If you still haven't explored the area and all of its amazing taverns,
don't worry, because I have a fantastic recommendation for you.
[chuckles] Oh, my hair is so…
Fiko's place!
Also, I have a discount code for you.
Leyla-19-30.
Oh, the wind! [kisses]
[Sevgi] Hey. What's up?
Where is Ada?
Well, things got complicated.
Belgin just came here.
And there was no time to tell Ada that you're here.
And right now, she's… [sighs]
I get it. What do I do?
So what I was thinking, Selim, is maybe you should go back to Istanbul for now.
[sighs]
I mean, Ada's not really… in the mood to talk.
-[whispers] Hey. -Huh?
-Is that Toprak over there? -Who? What?
Is that Toprak over there?
Uh--
It's really him. Right.
I wonder what he's doing here?
Sevgi, look at me.
What's going on?
Huh? What's that guy doing here? Did he and Ada meet up?
-Shh. Take it easy. -[shouts] Easy what? Easy what, huh?
Selim. What the hell are you doing?
You cheated on her, and now you're acting all macho? No way!
You think this is about Toprak?
Do you even realize how much you hurt Ada?
[Toprak] Sevgi?
[sniffs]
What's up?
Toprak?
Selim.
-How are you? -Fine, fine.
[chuckles] I'm great. And you? What are you doing here?
-Vacation. -Vacation?
[chuckles] Just vacation.
Well, I'm here to take my wife back.
But I'm sure you and Ada have already seen each other, haven't you?
You look good, Selim.
You lost the glasses, right?
I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.
Anyway, see you around.
-Did Ada sleep with him? -I told you, take it easy.
I'm gonna kick his ass!
What? Everyone's looking at us.
[yelling] I don't give a shit!
Ada wouldn't do that to me. Do you hear me?
Who was there for her when that guy fucking left? Who was there?
-Let's go, man. Let's go! -Where is he?
Where is that guy?
-Selim. What's this…? -[groans] Where'd he go?
-What are you doing? -What am I doing?
-Let's go. -Stop it!
[knocking on door]
Ada, listen.
I just want to see you for a little bit.
It won't take long, I promise. Five minutes.
I'm sorry to hear about Selim.
You don't need to be sorry.
We won't be the first couple to get divorced.
[Belgin] Still, it can't be easy.
All those years together, you get used to each other.
You build a routine, right?
Why are you here, Mom?
Muko told me you were getting a divorce.
And, after you called me about your aunt,
I just hoped that I could talk to my daughter.
[Ada] You were wrong.
Because you and I have nothing to talk about.
Here. Let me do it.
You always held that mirror when you were little.
Your grandmother would be upset,
and tell you to put it down.
I couldn't understand why she'd be so protective of a mirror.
But she had her reasons.
Last night, when you called about the murder in our family,
it gave me chills.
I'd forgotten all about it.
Just don't want to remember the bad things.
But I remember them, Mom, quite well.
I remember how you left without looking back
when Dad was sick and in pain.
You think you know everything, don't you?
You think you're the only one who's suffered.
No. It wasn't just me who suffered.
Dad suffered too.
And he suffered a lot.
I'm not here to talk about all of that.
I'm only here because I'm worried about you.
But you don't need to worry about me.
You weren't there when I got married,
and you don't need to be here for my divorce.
Baby, whatever I did, it was always for your sake.
I'm not gonna apologize for that.
How could she do this to me? How could she do this?
-[Sevgi] Let's go, man. -I just made one mistake. One mistake!
-Let's go. -Just one!
[Selim] I told her everything.
How could she do this to me? How could she?
With that guy of all people! I'm gonna lose my mind!
Fine, go ahead. Yell, scream, jump, whatever.
-But get a hold of yourself, damn it! -I'm not gonna leave without her.
I'm not going anywhere without her.
I'm not going anywhere without her! Do you hear me?
I'm gonna find that fucking guy!
Then, why?
-Tell me why. -[shouts] Why what?
Why would you cheat on Ada, if you loved her so much?
-How many times do I-- -For God's sake, spare me, Selim.
"Oh, 'cause I was drunk. That girl was hitting on me."
I'm not talking about any of those things.
I'm asking you about the real reason.
Maybe there are things about yourself you don't realize.
Maybe you're not as happy with Ada as you like to think.
[Selim] No, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
You've been our friend for 15 years. You've been my friend for 15 years.
You know everything about us. You know I can't live without her.
Yeah.
Maybe that's the problem. Don't you see?
I mean, you always did whatever Ada wanted you to do.
Maybe you were too much of a pushover.
Please, just think about it.
Would you have slept with someone else, if you loved Ada that much?
Think about it, buddy.
[uplifting music plays]
[music continues]
You want some?
-[Sevgi] Nah. -[Leyla] Hm?
No.
[whispering] Fine. All right.
People just can't seem to stop confessing these days.
Selim kicked it off.
-[Leyla] Oh. -[Sevgi] Hey.
That's right, honey.
We really need to get serious now.
So what happened last night? Toprak and you?
Or this morning? Or, um, last night and this morning?
No. Please don't say you slept together.
Are you really that naive, Segvi?
They played house till the break of dawn.
Come on. Just look at those cheeks.
-They're orgasm pink, cute, and flustered. -Hey! Leyla, stop it!
-Ada, no, please. -Ada, yes, please, yes!
"Oh yes, Ada, yes, yes!"
Hey, uh, you know that she's still married to someone, right?
That is only in principle, girl.
Does she have a ring on her finger? No.
And is Selim around? No, he's not.
Yes, he is.
Wait, seriously?
Selim is in town. He came here last night. And I told him you were sleeping.
Wait, you're kidding me. Aren't you?
-Uh-uh. -Yeah, Selim is a joke.
You know, in the town where I come from, they say, "That ship has sailed."
Or more accurately, "Toprak on the stage!"
-Toprak's not an option, Leyla. He's not. -What do you mean he's not?
Toprak is actually seeing someone else.
And now he's cheated on them with me.
Wait, what?
-Are you sure about that? -Mm-hm.
Oh. So this is news to you?
"Honey, Toprak has changed."
"He's a new man. I'm telling you, Toprak is harmless."
Well, there you go, your harmless Toprak.
If I'd known this would go down, I'd never have let her go.
And now it's all on me again? Oh my God. Come on--
It's not anybody's fault, okay?
It's nobody's fault.
It's just, what goes around comes around.
It's fine, sweetie. Okay?
You guys are like fire and gunpowder.
You were clearly bound to explode sooner or later,
and much better a good bang than having to bottle it up inside.
If Selim hears you talking, then we're really in for an explosion.
May God have mercy on Selim's soul. Amen, amen, and all that.
Oh, Leyla, come on.
You always forgive Erdem for any of the shit he pulls.
-Why is she not allowed to forgive Selim? -Okay, dear friend.
Well, let me remind you, then.
Who said that, if Selim ever did something so ridiculous, she'd never forgive him?
Yeah, and I won't forgive him.
See, I'm right again, aren't I?
And let me tell you the difference between us.
See, I am in love with Erdem, and she is not in love with Selim.
You know that I'm still sitting here, right?
-[Leyla] Hm. -Yeah.
[sighs]
Honey.
What do you really want? That's all that matters. All right?
I want the tremors in my hand to be gone so I can go back to work.
Since you mentioned tremors, I need to ask.
Any good ones?
Last night, hm? I mean… [chuckles]
Orgasms are back, girl?
Oh, come on, Leyla.
-You are really hopeless. -[cell phone chimes]
You're the one who's hopeless, you know.
Girls, all I'm saying is you should try to change your perspectives a little.
Your lives will get so much easier, seriously.
I'm going to work. I'm late.
I'll leave the kid to you.
See you, then.
[kisses]
Don't you think she's acting kinda weird lately?
Have a good summer, guys.
[man] Have a good summer!
[people chattering]
[shutter clicking]
[Leyla] Boss man, a word, please?
Oh wow, all of the tables are booked?
No.
Look. what I want you to tell customers is that you're fully booked up for the night,
but you could make a special exception just this one time.
Wait. You want me to lie?
[scoffs] Fiko.
You have to understand that the harder it is to get a table somewhere,
the trendier a place becomes.
I get it, but I can't lie.
-Leyla, I have your takeout right here. -Oh, thanks so much.
Well, Sarp asked me to pick up fish. I need to take this to him now.
-Enjoy it. -Do what I told you.
[sighs]
-Some wine? -You think they have cognac?
Hm.
That serious, is it?
You don't want to talk until you get drunk.
Should I order something? What would you like?
I'm not hungry.
Ada. [sighs]
I regret it so much.
I'm so sorry.
I mean it.
I could have said nothing.
You know?
You'd have had no idea.
But I don't want any lies between us anymore.
-Selim… -Let me finish.
Listen…
This is
not en excuse,
but, um,
I was furious.
Hearing you say you'd go to Brussels for two years
drove me crazy.
I was heartbroken.
I thought,
"I guess Ada doesn't love me anymore."
I just felt so alone.
Selim.
[Selim] I don't want a divorce.
I can't lose you.
Ada…
We can go to therapy, hm?
What do you say?
You want to go to Brussels? Fine. I'll come with you.
Fuck the construction. I'll quit my job there. I'll leave.
I'll leave everything and go with you. I'll follow you anywhere.
-I can't lose you. -It's too late now, Selim.
No, no. No, it's not.
I ran into Toprak here earlier.
Yeah?
Nothing happened between you, did it?
Please tell me nothing happened between you two.
I'm so sorry, Selim.
I mean, yes, you broke my heart.
But, still…
I never wanted to break yours too.
I'm sorry.
Very sorry.
Ada.
-Please, wait. -Selim.
Let's just drop it. This is going nowhere.
How could you?
Huh?
-How could you do this? -How could I do what?
-How could you do this to me? Come on! -What? Was it me?
You just… You did it because you wanted to hurt me.
And to hit me right where you know I'm the weakest.
Are you happy now, Ada?
-Selim, we're separated. -No.
-We broke up. -No.
You know I've filed for divorce. Don't you?
We are not divorced!
-You're giving me the third degree? -I am.
You, of all people?
-I'm giving you the third degree. -Why is that?
It's okay when you do it but not when I do it?
It is not the same.
Why not, Selim?
Because you're a man, it's just a one-night mistake,
but it's the end of the world when I do the same thing?
-Is that it? -No.
It's that I had no fucking feelings for that woman!
None at all! And you?
Selim, we were separated.
I didn't cheat on you.
But you cheated on me.
[scoffs]
You took the first opportunity.
That is not fair.
All those years… [breathes shakily] …I waited for you to get over him.
And now you and him, you…
[sobbing] I'm gonna lose my mind.
How could you…?
[sobs]
You were a complete mess when he left you.
And didn't I save you, Ada?
Huh? Isn't that what you told me?
Didn't you say you didn't know what you'd do without me?
Selim, don't do this.
Stop it. We're about to lose all respect for each other. Please.
This is a mistake.
That guy doesn't give a damn about you.
And you know what's funny?
The fact that he never has.
[Selim sobbing]
[suspenseful music plays]
[gasps] Erdem, damn!
You scared me half to death. Ah!
You said you'd put the light on.
And you said you wouldn't take so long, right?
Here's your damn food.
Now listen up.
We couldn't talk about anything important last night,
but right now we're gonna sit and talk about everything, okay?
No time to talk last night.
Because I missed you too much.
You know?
-That was pretty obvious. I mean… -Yeah.
Five times is a new record for us.
[both chuckle]
Guess being a fugitive did you good.
Cunda did you even better.
Ugh.
Hey! Hands off me. [sighs]
All that I could get as an advance.
That idiot give you this money?
Don't call my boss an idiot,
because, if it wasn't for him, honey, you wouldn't have found us.
No, he didn't help me find you.
It was the stories you posted, babe.
Didn't you post them just for me to see? Hm?
Sevgi told me that my phone could be tapped,
so I knew you couldn't call us, and I had to do something.
My brilliant wife. [kisses]
My brilliant wife, come here.
Hey. Stop it. Don't kiss me with those greasy lips. Get off!
Now, don't get horny on me, because we're gonna talk. You hear me?
Sarp asks about his dad the minute he wakes up every morning.
What… [sighs] What the hell are we gonna do, Erdem?
Can you please just tell me what it is that you did?
Baby, listen to me. I didn't do anything at all.
The guys I was doing business with were assholes.
All of them totally stabbed me in the back.
When I couldn't clear the goods through customs, they were all over me.
That's what happened.
Wait, who even are these people?
What guys are you talking about? What assholes? What goods?
Oh, come on. Why you wanna know who they are, Leyla?
It's over, that's it.
And I need to go to Greece.
You must be crazy. They'll catch you immediately.
No, because I'll be taking a back route, so don't worry about it.
We'll take a boat to Lesbos.
From there, Switzerland.
I have a bank account there.
The rest is easy.
Are you telling me that you have a Swiss bank account, all of a sudden?
-I really need to put 10,000 euros there. -What?
Ten thousand euros?
Where am I gonna find 10,000 euros, Erdem?
I don't know. To be honest, I don't care where you get it.
Ask Daddy dearest, the girls.
But you have to come up with it somehow, Leyla, or I'm gonna go to prison.
Do you understand me? I'll go to prison.
[both sigh]
-Leyla, damn. My phone's driving me nuts. -[phone chiming]
-Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. [sighs] -[cell phone chimes]
"Yo, sup, girl"? The guy can't even type a complete sentence.
How am I supposed to date him?
[phone clicks]
-[cell phone chimes] -[sighs]
TEVFİK - IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU…
IF THE DREAM OF FINDING YOU WERE IMPOSSIBLE,
WOULD I EVEN BE ALIVE?
SEVGİ - IS THAT A POEM?
TEVFİK - YOU LIKE IT?
SEVGİ - I THOUGHT NO ONE LIKED POEMS NOWADAYS?
TEVFİK - IF ONE DOESN'T LIKE POEMS, ONE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE A WOMAN…
[romantic music plays]
[touchscreen keys clicking]
[Sevgi] Dear Athena.
I brought you an olive sapling as a way to give you my thanks.
I wished for recovery, and now I am recovering.
Maybe you'll hear me again this time.
I want to fall in love.
I want you to…
to send someone who will love me for who I am, exactly who I am, please.
[inhales deeply]
-[man] From your lips to God's ears. -Fiko?
Sev… Sevgi, it's you? What are you doing here?
Planting an olive sapling. What are doing?
I'm picking herbs.
Thyme, zucchini blossoms, anything under God's sky.
You need help?
I can't say I don't… can't say I don't, Fiko.
[grunts]
But I don't want to distract you from your work.
It's okay. No worries.
Fiko, I have something I wanted to ask you.
Ask away.
You've, uh… you've been visiting Zaman pretty regularly, right?
I do as much as I can.
But he thinks I'm in too much of a hurry. Been telling me to give it time.
[chuckles]
So can I ask, what exactly are you going for?
Long story.
Mind if I hold onto it?
Of course, of course.
Okay, then can I ask you,
if you had any real, concrete changes in your life yet?
Of course. It's inevitable. Haven't you?
I definitely have.
I had cancer.
But I'm okay now.
Thank God.
-[smacks lips] -And maybe I'm asking for too much.
But it still oddly feels like something's missing from my life.
May you stay cancer-free.
All right.
Where I come from,
they say that God never gives you more than you can handle.
If the Lord has given you something, you should believe in his plan.
[soft music plays]
Look for the big picture.
That's what he says.
Zaman's words. "Big picture."
Where do you come from? I'm curious.
Originally from Adana.
The Greek appetizers are a different story.
[cell phone chimes]
[Sevgi] Ugh, Leyla!
Leyla put this awful app thing on my phone. Online Flirting or something.
This thing dings non-stop. Ding, ding, ding.
Oh, so that's how you found that asswipe?
So… you got any good matches?
I just don't think it's gonna work. Yeah, I'm just looking around.
-How about you? Do you have a girlfriend? -Me?
No. I mean, not really.
[chuckles] "Not really." Right.
Come on, get up. We're gonna miss the shuttle.
It's a long way back from here.
Sweetie.
Hey, Leyla, honey.
Yes?
I didn't see you around last night. What were you up to?
Fiko and I had some work. Why do you ask?
Tell me the truth. Erdem hasn't called you yet, has he?
Of course he hasn't. I'd tell you if he had, wouldn't I?
Why do you ask?
Something real strange is going on with you, lady.
I mean, you've stopped talking about Erdem completely,
and I wonder why.
You're too calm. You don't seem to be worried at all.
Sevgi, it's time for your meds.
I already took them, Mom.
Okay.
Well, I suppose we'll know what's up soon enough, won't we?
So I guess it's impossible to surprise you.
So did he call you?
Well, last night,
I was busy trying to find love for a little lady named Sevgi.
I was trying to set you up, all right?
You have dates later today.
Speed dates, okay? Remember that. Speed dates.
You'll have five minutes to talk with each candidate, okay?
You're gonna do great, darling.
[Ada] Sarp, we're done with this, honey. I think that's enough for today.
No, we're not done. Just one more.
Color this one.
Don't color outside the lines, okay?
Well, I can't make any promises, because my hand is…
[enigmatic music plays]
[gasps softly]
Leyla?
Yeah?
Leyla, my hand's not shaking.
[chuckles]
I'm not shaking.
Zaman, hey!
How is my hand not shaking anymore?
You owe me an explanation.
I'm very happy for you, Ada.
You don't know me. You don't know my family.
Those people in there, none of them know me.
I mean, I didn't even know about what happened to my great aunt,
so how is it that you know?
[sitar, drums play on radio]
-[Zaman] chuckles] -Please tell me.
I don't have time for that.
Here's what we'll do.
Take one of those bikes, and ride with me.
We'll talk on the way. Does that work for you?
[music continues]
-Good morning. -[man] Good morning,
Have a good one. See you later.
Will you slow down? I haven't been on a bike since I was a kid.
Don't worry. It'll come right back to you.
There are potholes. Watch out for them.
[upbeat rockabilly music plays]
We're in the olive business. We have our own brand of olive oil.
Ayvalık olives, very interesting. I mean, that's great.
-What you're doing is great. -You look so great.
Bless you. You're like one of God's miracles right in front of me.
My mom would love you.
I'm sorry. It wasn't clear. Do you live with your mother?
-You have such beautiful hair. -Thank you so much.
Hey, do you mind if we share a pineapple pizza?
Uh, I'm not really that hungry.
I mean, it's actually not my real hair, but it's not a wig.
It's not a wig either. I… It's actually… I had a treatment for cancer.
Oh, I hope you're doing okay now.
I'm better now.
We could go over to my hotel. I have some good weed.
[spits out drink]
Okay, fine. No weed then.
Hey, um, I need to go do something, but I'll call you, all right?
I'm sure you will.
-How are you İlyas? How are things? -[İlyas] Welcome.
Sir… you shouldn't have come all the way down here.
-I'm sorry about this. -Don't mention it.
I've been tending to your olives as if they were my own,
but these are infected, and pesticide hasn't worked, either.
It's all right.
[sighs]
All right.
Doctor, what do you think?
What's wrong with this olive tree?
I don't like speculating on things I'm not qualified for.
So, are you gonna answer my questions or not?
İlyas, can you please get me a pick and a shovel?
[İlyas] Right away.
[soft music plays]
[Zaman] Okay, then.
This will do.
So, all right.
This tree here… is at least 50 or 60 years old.
You only see the part of the tree that's above the ground,
but the part underground is almost as big.
If the roots of this tree are sick,
is there any point in trying to heal its branches?
I don't think so.
If
the roots start dying,
the veins that give it life clot up.
And, of course, when that happens to them,
the cells lose their source of food.
Slowly, the cells which lose their source of food--
They die.
I passed my cardiovascular exam ages ago, Zaman.
And I watched Avatar a long time ago.
Have a great rest of your day.
Hey, Dr. Ada.
Just wait. [chuckles]
[grunts] What are you doing?
Just wait.
Are you too impatient to wait for the answers to your own questions?
Or even to just rest under an olive tree?
Hm?
Now, imagine…
you are this olive. This is your family tree.
From the deepest roots in the ground, veins come up to feed you.
These veins carry stories, carry pain, carry riches and treasures.
Your mother, her mother, and her mother.
You're all intertwined with invisible bonds.
Ignoring that bond is to shut out your feminine side.
Your feminine side is the creative part of you.
Your compassion,
your ability to give and receive love.
What we do is find those
little wounds in the roots and apply… a little bit of care to them.
How is that?
[Zaman sighs]
[rhythmic meditative music plays
[Zaman] Now that's the mystery of it.
You neither deny nor prove it, but only observe the effects.
When the one picked to represent someone comes and stands in the middle,
a flow of information is initiated.
[Zaman] You may open your eyes when you're ready.
You can move forward, left, or right inside the space.
[muffled rumbling]
[Zaman] It is at that moment
that we start to see the wounds in the roots.
When you were 12 or 13,
you suffered great pain, and you lost someone.
-[man] Can anybody hear me? -[sirens blaring]
-Can anybody hear me? -[voice rasping]
-[rumbling] -[gasping]
[man] Is anybody down there?
-Can anybody hear me? -[jackhammer pounding]
[man] Can anybody hear me?
-Anybody down there? -[coughs]
[Selim] Mom.
Mama?
I couldn't save her. I couldn't save her. I couldn't save her.
[sobs]
[melancholy music plays]
It appears
you have replaced your late mother with your wife.
That is bullshit.
What you do here is a total joke.
Okay.
I'd like to finalize this expansion right here.
Confrontation, sometimes it, uh, needs to develop gradually.
Our friend…
needs both experience and time.
Like all of us.

I know we're both stuck inside a perpetual car crash,
but, if you want,
I'm ready to climb out of it.
We've both been through so much.
We've been up and down every road.
And I think we… I think we can survive this.
[sighs] Let's not give up.
Please, Ada.
[cell phone vibrating]
[man] Ada.
♪ Born to fly ♪
Can we just talk?
[Ada] How do we choose the people we fall in love with?
Is the combination of adrenaline, serotonin, and oxytocin really enough
to fall in love?
Tevfik?
-Fiko? -Hello there.
[Ada] Or is it possible that what we perceive as choice
is affected by someone calling out from the past?
[cell phone chimes]
[clears throat]
Hello, Mom. Yes.
Leyla, baby.
Something extraordinary has happened. Are you listening?
Yes, I am.
A title deed for some land was uncovered in Crete.
It was your grandmother's. It's ours now, baby!
And they say it's very valuable.
-Oh! Mom, are you serious? -[Mom chuckles]
[screams]
Yes!
Why did you come here?
I didn't want to disappear this time.
I had to say goodbye before I head back to the Netherlands.
You shouldn't have bothered.
Ada, what happened…
-It meant something to me. -Oh really?
Is that what you're gonna tell your girlfriend? Or maybe your wife?
Huh?
I caused someone the same pain that I've always been terrified of, Toprak.
It's because of you.
Just go, please.
Have a nice trip.
I don't have a girlfriend.
Or a wife.
I have a daughter.
Her name's Flor.
She's in the Netherlands.
With her mom and her mom's boyfriend.
So you have a daughter?
Son of a bitch! What the hell are you doing here?
-Selim? -Selim.
-[Selim] Selim what? -Stop it! Calm down, please.
-Womanizing asshole! I'm gonna kill you. -Bro, easy.
-What are you doing? -Calm down.
-[Selim] I'm gonna rip you a new one! -Please, stop.
I've had enough of this!
-[Toprak] Selim. -[Selim] What?
-[Selim yells] -[Ada] Selim!
Selim… You okay?
[grunts]
[Ada] Are you okay?
