-Leyla Taylan. Is that you? -Yeah, that's me.
I'm gonna need your signature.
-Have a nice day. -You as well.
Leyla, we need to talk.
THANK YOU, NEXT
Why didn't you tell me?
Didn't wanna spoil the magic of the night.
But you lied to me, Cem.
I took care of it, Leyla. I wasn't trying to trick you.
You tricked the justice system, all right?
You covered up a crime.
He was very drunk.
He left his house for a very short time. Then went back home.
And they've added to his sentence, so he didn't go unpunished, right?
It sounds so simple when you put it like that, doesn't it?
Well, it's not simple.
It's pretty clear you didn't mean any harm, and I do appreciate that.
Well, awesome. What's the problem? Huh?
But you hid something from me. For some unknown reason.
You're right. I did.
Because I want him out of our lives already.
Once and for all.
Both of them, actually. Ömer and Nil, I don't want anyone to get to us.
Cem, come on, you know I want the same thing, but that doesn't--
Look, Leyla, I'm very happy.
I really feel happy for the first time in my life.
That's something I can't lose.
I don't want anyone or anything to come between you and me, okay?
Absolutely nothing.
Please.
Please trust me.
Look, you don't have to say anything. Just trust me.
I can't help but think that you might be hiding something else from me.
You are, aren't you?
You're hiding something. It's written on your face.
What are you hiding? Just tell me, Cem.
I don't want any more secrets between us. What is it?
I don't know if this is the right time.
Cem, what is it?
Please, I'm asking you. I wanna know.
Okay.
This is not how I imagined this moment.
Leyla.
There is nothing in my life that is more important than you are to me.
You know my intentions.
I want to marry you.
I want you to be my wife, my home.
You're scared. I know.
So I won't force you to do anything.
You don't have to wear this ring unless you feel comfortable.
But then you'll never take it off again.
ESRA: MESSAGE DELETED
DON'T WORRY, I'M FINE. JUST WANTED TO TALK
-Esra, sweetheart. -Leyla.
I'm sorry. I'm at Cem's house. I fell asleep.
Are you okay? What's the matter?
I called because I couldn't sleep. My nerves are shot.
Oh. All right, I'm coming over in a bit.
No, no, you don't have to come. Funda's here.
I said I'm coming, Esra. I'll be there in 20 minutes, okay?
Oh no. Sorry, did I wake you up, Cem?
No, it's okay.
What's wrong?
That was Esra on the phone.
She's crying. I think she needs me. She doesn't sound well.
You're going there now?
Of course.
Well, Cem Murathan,
if you want me, they're part of the package, okay?
Help me.
Here I am.
Oh, did Cem drive you here?
Yeah, I said I could go by myself, but…
How's Esra doing?
She tidied up the whole house twice, cleaned every freaking nook and cranny.
She even bathed Doruk three times.
And now she's in the kitchen.
Esra, hi.
Honey.
Leyla.
Are you all right?
I feel awful.
It's okay, sweetie.
It's okay. It's okay. I know. I know. It's okay. It's okay.
Look, I made some great stuff.
Um, check this out. It's amazing.
Come on, try it, Leyla.
-Taste it. Give it a try. Here. -Oh.
Here. You too, Funda. Please?
-What do you think? Delicious, right? -It's awesome, great.
Is that sea salt?
-It turned out so good. -Yummy.
He won't listen to me.
He's ignoring me. He won't return my calls.
Stubborn as a mule, happy as a fool, right?
Don't worry. I'll go talk to him tomorrow morning, all right?
I can't believe this is happening because of a stupid ex.
Listen to me, honey.
Mercury, the planet of communication, is in retrograde.
-To make it worse, Uranus is currently-- -I don't give a damn about Uranus, okay?
I mean, I'm just saying that this kind of stuff,
like, unfinished business, affairs that end abruptly, just…
"Whoop!" Suddenly come up, looking for closure.
-It's delicious, by the way. -Oh!
Their relationship's been over for ages, right?
Well, obviously something's still there.
Listen, like I told you, they were talking for,
like, three minutes tops, Murat.
Good God. And the guy just moved on after that.
You believe he moved on? More like moved in.
Moved right in to her messages.
"I've been thinking about you since last night."
Her reply, smiley emoji.
"I missed you so much." Her reply, demure emoji.
But there's more. He just kept on going.
"We should keep in touch."
And my wife replied with a "hee-hee" emoji.
But there's still more.
"We have to get dinner sometime in the next week."
-"By ourselves. By ourselves." -Murat, please.
-Murat. -"By ourselves!"
Her reply was, "Maybe, let's talk." I rest my case.
I would've stayed in the dark,
if the late Steve Jobs hadn't opened my eyes from the grave.
Those texts mean nothing.
Murat, they mean nothing. Believe me. She was trying to brush him off.
Stop that.
She didn't actually answer him properly, if you think about it.
She was coming home, and she was just about to tell you anyway.
We just thought it was funny, because if he were a real threat,
do you think she would've left that guy to be with you?
She obviously regrets it.
Don't be ridiculous.
Enough. You're dragging this out for way too long.
Doruk will suffer from this, so put an end to it.
You have to come to your senses. You're Murat and Esra.
Leyla, what are you doing here?
Hey! Hey, boy.
What is this?
-Whoa! -Sarp.
-Cem Murathan's wish has been fulfilled. -Leyla, is this for real?
-Why isn't this ring on your finger? -To avoid this, I guess.
You don't even get to open your mouth, okay?
I found out about your latest fiasco. All right?
Murat, get it together and go home, okay?
Come on, boy, we're leaving. Let's go. Come on. Come with me.
Go, go, go, go.
-You wanna go with her? -Let's move.
Leyla.
Sure, maybe I'm not the one, and that's fine.
But is Cem Murathan the one? Are you sure about him?
He's capable of doing anything, and you know it.
Ömer, don't. Come on.
Try not to cause any more problems.
Buddy doesn't need this.
Sometimes, even nine years isn't long enough
to really get to know someone.
You believe their words at first,
but at the end of the day, their actions show who they really are.
Take it. Here. Press the button. Turn it on.
Ömer, we're having a tournament.
-Press it… -Marriage is a very big decision.
But somehow, Cem isn't afraid of marriage, even though he's failed three times.
Or maybe, he's just braver than me.
Let's put it that way.
That ring is incredible. Can you put it on?
No, I'm sorry. The longer I wait, the more significant it feels.
It'll take a state ceremony for me to wear it.
Have you tried it on your finger? Looks a little small.
There you go.
No, it's not. Just… wait. That's it.
Let me see.
Let me see. Ah, that's so beautiful.
Yeah. Wouldn't it be nice
if she could get away for a few days to come here, Reyhan?
Okay, sweetheart. I'm sure you're busy. We won't keep you, okay?
No, what's wrong? Why are you changing the subject, Mom?
It's nothing. He's missing you, is all. You know how he is, right?
I miss you so much too, you guys.
Why isn't teleportation a thing already?
The thing is, your mom's having a small surgery on Wednesday.
That's why I said it.
-Oh, Mahir! -What?
What surgery?
Honey, it's really not a big deal.
Last winter I fell while skiing. You know that.
-Yeah. -My knee didn't completely heal.
So they're just making sure everything's okay.
Oh, so I'm definitely coming.
Mahir, do you realize what you've done? You do, don't you?
What's the big problem?
She can come if she's not busy. It's not a big deal.
I'm coming. I'm coming. No objections. It's all good.
Mahir, you're gonna pay for this.
You'll pay for this.
I love you so much, Mom and Dad. Bye, take care.
Huzzah! I'm so happy.
NEW YORK FLIGHT TICKET
The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.
Please leave a message af--
Okay.
Buddy, come here.
I'm sorry, boy. I know you just got here,
but I'm gonna have to you back to your papa's again, okay? I'm sorry, baby.
Hello, Cem. I'm going to New York tomorrow.
-What happened? -My mom's having surgery.
I'm sorry to hear that. Is it serious?
Mm. My mom said it wasn't, but my dad said I should probably be there,
so I wanna go.
Of course, sure.
I'd love to come too, but I have to be in Dubai this week.
No, no, don't worry about it. I'll be back in, like, a week tops.
Okay, sweetie. I'm on my way over.
-We'll talk soon. -Oh, you're on your way?
Uh, awesome, see you in a bit. Bye.
Coming!
Shh!
Cem! Oh!
-Hi. Sorry to bother you at this hour. -Hi! Yes.
-Buddy. Buddy. -Hey, Buddy. Hello to you too.
Buddy, get in. Good boy.
-Yes. -Uh, I live upstairs. Ali Yöreoğlu.
Ah. Can I help you?
I was on a trip. Uh…
Uh, long story short, I'm locked out. I don't have my phone.
I looked for Erkan, but he's not there. Do you have his number, by any chance?
-Erkan's number. I think I have it. -Ah!
But I'm gonna need some help as well.
No problem.
Please be there. Please.
-Please, please. -Come on, come on.
Ah.
Oh, thank God!
How did you end up here?
-Ugh, don't even ask. -Here you are, ma'am.
-Thank you very, very much, Ali. -No problem.
Cem.
How's it going?
I was caught off-guard. I literally couldn't speak.
And Ali. You should've seen him. The guy just froze.
He looked like a statue. He didn't know how to react.
Obviously, he realized who Cem was right away, you know? So…
Yeah, and Cem realized what a goofball his fiancée is, right?
Hey!
Did Cem get upset at all?
Well, I think he did, but he hid it pretty well.
You're working on a documentary, right? The Journey of the Ring?
-Oh, you make documentaries? -That's right.
You started with small nature documentaries,
and then I guess you branched out, right?
That's right. We're producing a project for the UN right now,
but I didn't know I was that famous.
Yeah, how do you know about this, Cem?
Let's say from the endangered bobcats.
You had a mine closed on some land that belonged to my father.
-Kosovalı Holdings? -Exactly. That's us.
Oh, I see.
He had a grudge, apparently.
Yeah, exactly. It's so weird. I mean, what a coincidence.
And the ring? What happened?
Did he take it back? Wouldn't blame the guy. Yeah.
-You know, he did. -Hmm.
He did, only because he's having it adjusted.
Or should it be that easy to give up on me, Papa?
-She's so spoiled. -Mm-hmm.
I have a question. And don't you lie to me.
It's a good thing I came, right?
Don't lie, okay?
It's a good thing I came here, isn't it? I missed you guys so much.
We did too.
Always.
Are you happy?
Well, Cem is different.
He's attentive.
Loving.
Sensitive.
-You said he was cocky. -He's not.
Well, at least not towards me.
I had my concerns about him, you know?
But the more I get to know him, the more he surprises me.
Whoo-hoo!
Hmm. But…
There's no but, actually.
I guess there's more to know about each other over time.
If it were up to him, we'd get married tomorrow, but…
Hmm.
I… told him I needed more time to really think about it.
If I were Leyla, would you check your watch so often?
Your chef still isn't around.
You mean our chef.
You brought him into our lives, right?
You keep the men in Leyla's life close to yourself in order to control her.
Are you letting the booze get to you already?
Does that annoy you?
Am I lying?
Didn't you tell me to hire Ömer? And once it suited you, he was sent away.
Cem, you even changed your law firm just to be closer to Leyla.
Oh, but not all of them.
Your accomplice Beliz is still around.
Okay, I get it.
You're angry with me because of Leyla.
That's right.
Because you're completely losing control.
This is a first, Defne.
You being jealous of a woman in my life.
Cem, you and I made this game.
So I am your only playmate.
And it'll always be like that. Don't forget.
Why don't you go over to the bar? I'll meet you there, okay?
-What a nice surprise. -Do you mean that?
You should've told me that you were coming. Welcome, Cem.
Thank you. Hello.
How many glasses Have shattered in my drunken heart?
I can't console myself No matter what I try
How many glasses…
Careful, man.
-Remember last time? Huh? -Of course I do. Don't worry.
But I can't handle the singing sober. I'd rather go to jail.
Man, I get it, bro. I get it. What are we listening to?
Tuan, do some Reiki or something on him, please.
No, I don't wanna do anything.
Why don't you get us some of that cactus extract?
You know what I'm about to do?
I'm gonna get some rocks from the garden. We'll take turns throwing them at him.
See what you did? That's on you.
-Look at him, dude. -My hand is trembling.
-What? Is it my turn? -Mm!
-What? -What is it? What's going on? Oh.
-Oh, finally! -It's her!
Here comes the cure. The remedy!
May God give you your heart's desire.
It's right there.
-Hello. -You have to see this.
Leyla.
I was sitting there reading…
…a bedtime story to Doruk.
A happy story.
You and that asshole literally ruined the story's ending.
-You ruined it. -No, nothing has changed.
Nothing happened, okay? You just--
-İskender-- -Ah!
Don't say his name!
Sweetheart, believe me, nothing was going to happen.
Do you think I could even possibly, actually…
When I read the messages,
pain overcame my soul and body. I mean it.
I understood what it meant to get sucker-punched in my heart.
I mean it!
To feel all the blood leave your body.
I understood it all.
-Mm-hmm. -You say you mean it again, right?
-Exactly. -Sweetheart, you're right.
If you could give me some time to explain this.
We had a happy ending to our story.
You know? After I snatched you from that guy.
Yeah, and I'm glad you did. I'm glad you snatched me.
Because our story's still beautiful. It still has a happy ending.
-I swear on everything. -Doruk! Where's Doruk?
-No! -My son!
-My son. -Doruk's at home.
My parents are there. Can we please go home now, Murat? Come on.
I am not dumb.
-You're obviously not, come on. -No, no.
-No way. -You're not.
But that man is trying to ruin our marriage.
It's falling apart.
I will not let that happen!
Shh!
And I'm not gonna let him
make me hate the love of my life.
-Okay. -But…
I can't go back home.
Because I'm still sitting in fire.
All of it. All of it. It burns like fire.
-All of it, like flame. -Come on! Enough! Stop it.
Enough with the drama.
I didn't do anything wrong. I've had it up to here.
I've had enough. And I love you to death.
So you're either coming home, or you're coming home. You understand?
You have no choice but to come home.
Love of my life, I missed you.
-Aww! -That's it!
-Aww! -Whoo!
Bravo!
-Whoo-hoo! -The happy couple!
Congratulations! Good for you.
-Let's get going. -Mm-mm-mm!
Sweetie, I didn't wanna wake you with a call.
I talked to your mom. I wished her good luck tomorrow.
I'll call you in the morning. Take care of yourself. I miss you.

The person you are trying--
MISSED CALL
CALLING MOBILE
Hello.
Hello, Şeyyaz. I'm sorry, okay?
I'm in New York, so I was asleep. What's up?
I'm done with it for good.
What do you mean?
That bullshit with Defne. I'm totally done with it.
What happened?
She decided to disappear again right after the race.
And suddenly, she and Cem Murathan just showed up
at the restaurant.
Cem? Really?
Yeah, Cem, her guardian angel.
This time I'm letting you know before I leave.
Stay well.
You take care.
She said that, and then she walked away in the darkness
of the night along with Cem Murathan.
Huh, that's something.
Anyway, in that case, I'm canceling the Ankara project.
Dubai didn't feel right anyway.
Defne was insisting, you know.
So I'm not going there tomorrow. Defne is.
Defne's going to Dubai too?
Why, who else is going?
She's trying.
-She'll keep trying. -Who?
Defne. She's never giving up on Cem.
The last thing right now on my mind is Defne.
Why are you laughing?
You forgot our bet, didn't you?
Defne doesn't need anyone but Cem.
One way or another, she'll give birth to his child.
Cem had a great time watching us break up.
He had a big smile on his face.
I'm sleeping at the moment.
I'm asleep right now. I'm jet-lagged, and I'm sleeping.
Leyloş.
Don't wake her up. Can't you see she's tired?
She'll feel worse when she realizes she's overslept.
Leyla. Leyla!
-Get up, sweetie. We're going. -What? To Dubai?
To the hospital. Let's go.
Hospital.
Okay.
The person--
It's been a half an hour. I'll let you know when she's out.
Okay, I'm heading into a meeting.
Please text me, no matter what, okay?
-Uncle Can! -Hi, Leyloš!
Please keep me posted. See you.
Good luck with the meeting. Bye-bye.
-I'm getting coffee. You want something? -Coffee.
Getting to know someone is like getting to know a city.
First, you learn about the street you live on.
Then the squares.
Then you discover places you don't know.
Exploring is fun and exciting.
Then suddenly, it feels like everything was always waiting for you,
always ready for you to love it.
You get lost in joy.
You forget time.
This doesn't seem to be very safe.
You'll be fine, come on. Don't be afraid, Cem.
Don't worry about it. Come on.
Ooh, it turned green. Let's go.
Whoo-hoo!
You're actually a very sweet person
when you're separated from your natural environment.
What do you mean by that, Leyla?
Out of the Cem Murathan environment,
you're actually a pretty normal and decent person.
Decent, huh?
And when I'm in it?
Well, you're a little
cocky in Türkiye.
I like New York, Cem.
We should've gotten some ketchup though.
Ketchup. I forgot ketchup. But I have…
-…some mayo here. -Wow!
-Really. -You're full of surprises, aren't you?
-You want some? It's dripping. Quick. -Wait! Oh! Wait!
Last time I was here was with my brother.
-With Selim? -Mm-hmm.
He was studying at NYU.
He wanted to drop out and go back home,
and I came here to try and change his mind.
Dissuade him.
I failed.
If I hadn't, maybe…
This might sound weird, but…
loving you is like finding the puzzle piece that was missing.
So you love me, huh?
That's right.
In that case, you know which part of me is missing, don't you?
Is it me?
Under the Turkish Civil Code
and by the authority vested in me by our Consulate General in New York,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Congratulations and I wish you happiness.
I just had the same dream.
Hmm.
What did you dream?
I'll tell you later.
Well, okay.
Let's get up now and go to your mom's.
Then we'll get lost in the city.
Hmm?
Okay. Sounds great.
I like you a lot, Cem.
I like you even more.
Do you think my ring will be ready soon?
Your ring is ready.
What do you mean? Is it here?
So, is it time yet?
Yes, I'm ready to marry you.
I love you.
I love you too.
Ah. Leyla's here.
All right, come on, we're here.
-Sarp, can you hold this? -Okay.
-Leyla. -Hold this too.
I'm going to the other side. See you at the hearing, okay? Good luck.
Okay. We're ready.
Yeah, everything's prepared.
All right.
The last time I saw you all in robes like this was your graduation.
Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Kartal.
Uh.
No more captivity. This is it. of Kartal.
