[siren wailing]
AMBULANCE
[Ali] Look at me in the eyes. Focus on your breathing.
-Good. Breathe in, breathe out. -[breathing deeply]
We'll make it in time, okay?
That's great. Like this, yeah.
-[Leyla continues breathing] -[cell phone chimes]
[gasps] Please, can we go any faster?
It's important that I don't miss this hearing.
I can't be late, please.
Okay, okay, I know, Leyla. Calm down.
-You should calm down. Just breathe. -[coughs]
THANK YOU, NEXT
[jazzy theme music playing]
-[music ends] -Okay, Buddy. Easy.
Come on.
CAUTION
Come.
Easy.
Easy. You're here for the weekend.
And then I can pick you up on Monday.
[Sarp] The goalie faces down Lionel Messi.
Messi is coming, coming. He's here!
-He shoots. Goal! Goal, goal, goal, goal! -Sarp?
What are you doing here?
Keeping Doruk busy.
Messi lines up once more.
And now he shoots one more time.
Here he comes with the ball.
Hurry. Get in the goal.
Ömer.
[Sarp] Leyla.
I spotted you first.
-Get in the goal! -What are you talking about?
Dear God, where…
[muffled Turkish music playing]
Ömer.
I brought Buddy.
Ömer?
[music continues]
Psst, Buddy. Here. Here, come.
What is happening here?
-[Ömer whistles] -[splutters] Buddy!
Come, come. Come, my friend.
Come, come, come.
Leyla, enter.
You are a disgrace.

[in English] Leyla. You know they're just your coworkers.
[gasps]
-[exhales] -[panting]
Good morning, Buddy.
[exhales]
GOOD MORNING, GUYS. DID YOU HAVE BREAKFAST YET?
[cell phone chimes]
Does breakfast sound good?
Does it?
[cell phone chimes]
GOOD MORNING. I'M GOING TO MY PARENTS', AND SARP HAS WORK TO DO
-Here, fetch. -[cell phone rings]
Sarp backed out right away.
We're planning to go out for breakfast.
Ah!
Yeah, you remember my friend Ebru who I grew up with?
[Leyla] Mm.
Tuan and her husband made a plan. We're going on a picnic in the forest.
Uh. Ah, kisses to you, Leyla.
Many kisses to you too.
-Darling, you wanna come along too? -Here.
Um, no, I'm a little busy.
But maybe I'll see you soon. Something tomorrow?
-[Funda] Okay. So many kisses! -Okay, bye.
Apparently, we're going to Ömer's.
Seriously? What's up with going to Ömer's every day?
Well, he's bored to tears out there. I thought we'd play Rummikub.
[gasps] Thank you.
He committed a crime in broad daylight,
and now His Excellency wants entertainment.
-[in Turkish] ♪ To share every joy ♪ -[laughs, in English] Murat, oh God.
[Murat in Turkish] ♪ Every trouble, every sorrow ♪
[in English] Stop it! Seriously, honey, stop, unless you want a beating.
Leyla, so in your dream,
we were singing "Arkadaş," but were we also dancing?
Okay, I've started to regret telling you about that.
And what do you expect us to do with Ömer, kick the man when he's down?
Exactly! I wish you'd done that.
A kick would help him come to his senses.
-Ugh, Leyla, come on! -No, Murat, shh! We support Leyla.
I swear to God, I am getting so pissed at this point.
I mean, just one day.
At least one day of punishment, but no.
[man] Ömer, even death leave is three days in corporate life.
You've already had three weeks.
Yes, but, sir, what I'm going through is not something normal.
I just need a month to recuperate, one month.
Everyone has wives and girlfriends they break up with, but they handle it.
You only think that because you
never been stood up right at the altar.
It's been awful.
You have to get a hold of yourself. Get some work done.
You're a strong man.
You're right.
[mutters] I really am trying.
If you can't be here, then go to the Istanbul office.
Take care of some work there.
Let me just work remotely for one more month. Please, one more month.
The doctor said I can't get triggered.
I'm really in the most fragile state right now.
I'm gonna hang up now. Kisses to you.
And tell me if you free up later, okay?
-[Esra] Okay, honey, see you later. -[kisses]
Listen up.
Buddy, my dear. I'm telling you this because I trust you.
I'm very grateful for all my dear friends, especially you.
But nobody is planting any bad ideas in my subconscious, you hear?
Some music, music's what we need.
We're paired with the speakers.
-Let's dance it out, Buddy. Dance party! -[upbeat Turkish music playing]
-Here, catch! -[barks]
Shake your tail!
[music continues]
[knock on door]
[Leyla singing to music in distance]
[grunts] Ah, Erkan, here.
-Your ride is here, Ali. -Thank you, Erkan, buddy.
Do me a favor and let some air in here once in a while.
[Erkan] Sure thing, no worries.
-How old's this neighbor kid? -Not a kid, an attorney.
-Leyla's her name. A woman. Leyla Taylan. -You don't say.
I met her fiancé too the other day.
-He's a very successful businessman. -Ah, yeah. I wish him patience, then.
-Yeah, why? I think her voice is nice. -Nice voice, but loud taste.
[music continues]
[cell phone chimes]
ARE YOU HOME? CAN I COME BY?
SURE
[doorbell ringing]
[music ends]
Oh, were you at the door?
[buzzes]
Good morning. Welcome in.
-Thank you. Have a nice day. -Come in. Thank you.
[grunts]
[Leyla] I was planning on calling you after 12.
I didn't know if you were with Defne still or…
I was with her, yes.
Come in.
How is she?
[exhales] Not recovering. It's been a struggle.
[sighs] Poor thing.
She's not well.
Can only imagine.
Not unexpected.
-I could make coffee if you wanna sit. -I can't stay.
-Why? -I have to take Defne to London.
I thought staying with my mother could be good for her.
[Leyla] Hmm.
Yeah, Şeyyaz had mentioned they might go.
Feyyaz isn't coming.
-Why not? -Defne wanted to be alone.
Don't go, Cem.
Never. I'll never leave you, sweetheart.
I promise. I promise. I promise.
She wants you to be there though.
Gotcha.
But still, I didn't wanna leave without kissing you.
[both chuckle]
[laughs]
I'll call you.
Okay.
-Then I hope you have a good trip. -Thank you, Leyla.
[Leyla exhales]
Wow, wow, wow, chef, wow.
How long till those are ready?
Fifteen.
Sounds good.
And how are you?
I feel like some leftover praline, you know.
Abandoned in the walk-in. [chuckles]
[Leyla exhales]
Well, come outside and go for a walk with me. I'm sure you'll shake it off.
I'm sure the fresh air wouldn't hurt either.
What do you think?
-Come on. -You're right.
She never spoke after she came back from the hospital.
I only heard her voice when Cem was with her.
She's traumatized.
It's a normal reaction. Give her some time.
Might be over.
Don't be a dumbass.
Been doing this long enough to know when a break-up is on the horizon.
Don't make any rash decisions this early.
[sighs] No, we've been out of tune with one another for some time now.
She'll just use this as a reason to break up.
You sound ridiculous. How would that work?
What is it about men that makes them all like this?
Always me, me, me, me,
and the whole world has to center around you.
Remember, she lost her baby.
Our baby.
You're right. I'm sorry.
You're right, but clearly,
this situation is bringing up past trauma for her.
We can't begin to get her experience or how difficult this all was.
So you're saying Cem needs to be there for her right now. Then she'll come back?
It's all gonna be fine.
And then in a few short weeks, you'll be trying again, won't you?
What's there to say?
You have to give it time. Don't get carried away and just give up.
She needs you so much in this moment.
[scoffs] I'm pretty sure Cem is the only one she needs.
Do you wanna bet on it?
[exhales] I'm in. Fine, I'm in.
-Let's shake. -Oh? Great.
-Binding. We'll see, won't we? -[chuckles]
-[Leyla] Any time frame in mind? -Mm-hmm.
-Well, we'll see. -You are unbelievable.
Your croissant was good enough that I might forgive you.
[Feyyaz] I hope you enjoy it.
[melancholy music playing]
[attendant] We'll be landing in 20 minutes, sir.
Mm. Good.
[music ends]
How are you?
Doing okay.
Or I will be soon.
[Cem exhales]
I'm sure Oya will be happy to see you.
I'm curious what she cooked.
Mama, we'll be landing soon. And we'll see you in an hour.
Okay. See you. Kisses.
[exhales]
[Turkish pop music playing]
[cell phone chimes]
UNCLY: ÖMER IS ASKING FOR BUDDY TOMORROW
[chimes]
SHOULD I TAKE HIM THERE?
OKAY. BUT I'LL TAKE HIM
[whooshes]
[chimes]
ARE YOU SURE?
OF COURSE. DON'T DRIVE ALL THE WAY FROM THE LAKE HOUSE JUST FOR THIS
[exhales]
Okay. [exhales]
-Is this number nine? -Yeah, that's the one.
All right, Buddy, come on.
Easy. Wait for me. Wait for me.
Don't stay here too long, okay?
Just for a couple of days.
Easy, Buddy. Buddy, easy.
Everyone's an Ömer supporter now. [inhales]
Good boy. Easy.
-Okay. Good. Good boy. -[Ömer] Balım. Balım.
-Babe, can you get my credit card for me? -Okay, go find Daddy.
-Find Daddy! -[Ömer] It'll be just a second.
Oh my boy. Hey, doggie.
-Hey, Ömer. -Good afternoon.
[Ömer] Oh my baby.
Here, hon.
-[Leyla] Hope you get well soon. -[Ömer] Thank you.
-Can you get these? -I've got them, yeah.
[Leyla] You asked for Buddy.
How have you been, Balım?
Oh good. As usual, coming to the rescue with my emotional first aid kit.
That's great.
I'll take your card. I'll see you.
I'll give you a few days.
Could I have him during the week? If weekends are cool with you?
For the next month at least.
I'll think about it.
-Get well soon, Ömer. -[Ömer] Thanks.
[Leyla] How about I didn't feel anything?
Zero feelings. I felt nothing, really.
I'm not surprised Balım was there.
She swoops in just in time. What a scavenger, huh?
She is free to try and salvage whatever she can from that jackass.
When I walked away from my own wedding,
I left it all behind.
Plus, I've done a lot to come to terms with how I feel.
I'm at peace with it. And nobody's getting hurt.
I really do mean it.
-I wanted you to be the first to know. -Hmm.
Can we just talk? Ever since the wedding,
there's been this huge elephant that's put itself between us.
I don't care about the stupid video.
[inhales] It's still a little embarrassing how I acted.
That's why I'm telling you.
Look, Ömer and Balım, the messages and the videos,
none of that matters to me at the end of the day.
And none of that holds more value than our friendship.
It's beyond something that can be described.
That's how much I love you, man.
Pro soccer Beşiktaş comes second behind you.
-Oh no, are you sure? -[laughing]
[Leyla] Mm.
I'm so relieved.
-[kisses] Let's drink to friendship. -Okay.
[Leyla] Of course, we untangle the knots as we talk.
[gentle guitar music playing]
[cell phone chimes]
But it's hard to tell your story from the beginning
to someone you don't know at all.
ARE YOU ASLEEP?
[chimes]
Sometimes, even just being with your friends feels good.
When you're with the people who've aged with you,
even silence is precious.
[music fades out]
[gentle music resumes]
[chattering]
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -[Sinan] I swear. It was so real, okay?
If there's one thing I'm not, it's a liar…
[Leyla] Even if the one person you can breathe comfortably with is absent,
then you're left in an airspace free of lies
with the people who leave you breathless.
You're surrounded by pure trust.
I mean, I can perfectly understand what Defne means to you.
Of course, I don't really know.
I'm just always making a guess.
Since you still barely tell me anything.
[chuckles]
What?
What's so funny?
I just miss you.
[music fades out]
[inhales]
And Cem Murathan deflects once again.
You free tomorrow?
Of course, he tries to flirt his way out as usual.
I'll pick you up tomorrow at eight. Sound good?
Huh?
Be ready at eight tomorrow night. Please.
Are you coming here?
It is so hard to be away from you, Leyla.
[pleasant music playing]
[sighs]
[cell phone chimes]
EIGHT O'CLOCK
[music turns upbeat]
-[Uncly] Bravo! Want some cake? -Ha-ha-ha! All right!
-It's your birthday! -Come on. Here, here, here.
-[Leyla] Oh, I forgot! -Oh, Leyla!
-There you are. -Where were you?
[sighs] I completely forgot.
-I'm glad you made it, Leyla. -We all forgot. Funda remembered.
-Yeah. -Sorry, honey. Happy birthday.
Thank you. It is.
-Glad you're here. -Cut! Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake!
I cut it up, and why don't you guys pass it around to share?
-Bravo! -Lovely!
-Here. I'll get some for you, darling. -Thank you, Murat.
And how did the trial go?
It's been postponed and downgraded to a hearing.
-That's great news. -Beliz not here?
Yeah, she had something to do. She won't be here.
Hmm, getting something ready for her husband.
Beliz called. She's expecting all of us tonight.
-There's a whole plan for tonight? -It's a surprise. I'm not in on this.
You made plans?
-You made plans. Leyla! -Aw, but, but, but--
[in Turkish] ♪ To share every joy Every trouble-- ♪
-[in English] Oh, all right. -She has that look.
-[laughing] -Come on, guys!
-Happy birthday, Sarp! -Cheers!
-[Leyla] He's foggy. -[Esra] Mm.
[Leyla] It's like you can't see him unless you look closely.
But then, the closer you get, it's like a magnet.
[mystical music playing]
It's like I know I'm standing on a cliff, and he's yelling at me to jump!
Yeah, well, that's kind of your type, isn't it, Leyla? [laughs]
I'm not sure about that, Esra.
I'm a little frightened.
But when he asks me to be his,
I just wanna trust him all over again. [laughs]
Mysterium tremendum. Do you know about that?
-What was that again? -What are you saying?
It's that sense of mystery inside that makes you tremble.
It might scare you a little bit. You're like, "Oh my God, what is this?"
But at the same time, you just need to know.
Ah, it's when one part of you's telling you to leave
and one part says, "Sit the fuck down." That's all it is.
-That's a yep. -[laughing]
-Ladies. -Yay! Good health to you!
-Good health to you. -Look at my beautiful, glowing hubby.
-[sighs] -[Murat] My love.
The bullies chased me off the hot marble with their clogs.
Hey, remember you were whining about coming? You see how nice it is?
Look, I'm a mess of emotions right now, okay? [chuckles]
Thanks to my birthday, we all benefit, huh?
Thank you for the birthday present, Leyla.
I shouldn't take credit. The thanks should go to Tuan for his idea.
-[Funda] Honey! -[Esra] Thank you so much, Tuan.
-I actually really wanna thank Funda. -Why is that?
-She finally found the right man in Tuan. -[Leyla] Yeah, she did!
-Funda! -[laughing]
-Happy birthday, bro. -Thanks, everyone.
Aww, Beliz missed all this.
You could do this again.
This is my new address. I live here.
-Murat@hot_massage_stone. -Massage.com.
Şeyyaz@side_basin.
[laughing]
-Chef side basin, food is on you. Come on. -[Leyla] Oh!
-I have to go now! -Go, go. Don't be late.
-Okay, we'll keep in touch. I love you. -Maybe someone will say hi to me too.
We'll stop by after dinner tonight. Okay, see you. Kisses!
[Sarp] We'll be waiting!
[gentle guitar music playing]
[sighs]
"I own a plane, so I just flew here," huh?
-After you. -Thank you, Cem.
[music ends]
How's Defne?
She'll need some time.
How come she can't call Şeyyaz for help?
When are you gonna stop calling him Şeyyaz?
Everybody in our friend group calls him Şeyyaz.
Hmm. Just reminds me of a certain time.
Let's not go there tonight, Cem.
[chuckles] Okay.
And when are you flying back to London?
Morning.
[laughs]
-It's so windy, babe. -[Funda splutters]
I should've brought more layers. Like a scarf or something.
We're walking from the car to the house. You're fine.
-Hey, guys, should we split up here? -No way. Come on. Come on.
I'm grateful for the afternoon. I have to get back to the restaurant.
-They're slammed. -No, no, Beliz has a surprise upstairs.
I was wondering who she invited.
Introducing Her Highness, the Mother-in-Law.
-Darling, don't follow their example. -Never, darling, never.
-[Funda] Watch out! -It almost got my nose.
Walk this way. Come on.
Go on, ring the bell.
[doorbell rings]
[rings]
-[Esra laughs] Come on. Come on. -I think my wife is tricking us.
[laughs] All right, here.
-Okay. -[lock clicks]
Beliz.
[somber piano music playing]
Hmm?
Surprise. My wife has left me.
[chuckles]
[exhales]
[music fades out]
Can you, um, turn off your cell phone until the end of the night?
Please.
Where are we going?
You're about to find out.
Okay.
[phone clicks off]
-What is that? -[chuckles]
No way.
Blind date. Literally.
What, you don't trust me?
[Leyla exhales]
[jazz music playing]
[Leyla exhales]
[music cuts off]
I'm sorry, but I'm not closing my eyes anymore.
I don't wanna mess up my makeup, you know?
Okay.
[door lock clicks]
I need to be honest about our relationship.
Are you ready?
Okay. I'm ready.
Close your eyes, please.
[both laugh]
[Leyla exhales]
[romantic music playing]
Here we go.
Just mind the step.
-Yeah, I'm okay. -Watch out.
-One more step, got it. -Mm-hmm.
-You can open your eyes. -[exhales]
[jazz music playing]
[faint chattering]
What's going on?
You trust me, right?
Now we're on equal footing.
Right this way, ma'am. I'll show you to your table.
-Ah, I heard about this place. -[Cem] Uh-huh.
Haven't been here though.
-Thanks. -[man] Here you go.
[Leyla] Right. Okay.
[man] Your appetizers are ready on the table.
We'll be serving dinner soon.
-[Cem] Thanks very much. -[Leyla] Thank you.
[chuckles] I got so tense. I felt so nervous.
I keep wondering if I'm in danger.
Do you think that I'm dangerous?
You could hurt me more than I've ever been hurt.
I've heard a lot from your former victims. Think of it that way.
Hmm. The first night we were together,
you called me your ex's name.
You follow me?
We're in the dark together, Miss Taylan.
[Leyla] Well…
But I'm so curious about you.
I want to explore you. [chuckles]
I really don't know what to say, Cem.
You don't have to say anything. You don't need to. Just try…
to understand how I feel.
I want to
spend a lifetime next to you, Leyla.
[exhales]
-[cell phone ringing] -[Leyla gasps]
[silverware clatters]
-Are you okay? -[sighs] I'm sorry about this.
-You didn't turn off your phone? -I thought I did, but…
-[camera shutter clicks] -Ugh, crap.
What am I doing?
Sorry, I turned it off.
-Welcome back. I'm here too. -I am all yours now. I promise.
[woman] No, no, I'm bored to death.
-You're not supposed to. -[woman] No, I can't take it.
-[cell phone rings] -[Hande gasps]
[woman 2] Oh! Oh!
-[Hande gasps] -What a surprise.
[crowd murmuring]
-Nil Katmanoğlu? -Nil?
[siren wailing]
-Thank you so much for the ride. -[in French] Good luck.
[jazzy theme music playing]
COURTHOUSE
[in English] Seriously, thank you.
[gate beeps]
[sighs]
-[exhales] -[Nil] Leyla.
I got your bag.
Thank you so much. I owe you one.
