[Aktan] You can't write
this day down in a diary.

- We'll live it for lifetime,
without forgetting a single second.
Where? How?
Against what?

[pop music playing]
WE'LL BE FINE
- [music stops]
- [Aktan] Hm?
Thank you, but I gotta get going now.
- A little more.
- I gotta work. Mm-hm.
Wait, hold on. Miss Yelda is here.
- Ah, that's her?
- Did she see us?
- [tense music playing]
- Hi, Miss Yelda.
This is my boyfriend, Aktan.
And Miss Yelda.
It's nice to meet you, Yelda.
- Nice to meet you, as well.
- Don't call her that.
I'll see you in there, Lal.
- Okay, Miss Yelda.
- [chuckles]
- "I'll see you in there, Lal."
- [chuckling] Stop. You're bad.
- It feels like I'm back in high school.
- I don't care. Mmm.
Sweetie, I gotta get going, okay?
I'm serious.
Baby Okay.
- Think about me at work, alright?
- Okay, I'll see you later.
Mwah.
[gentle piano music playing]
[sighs]
[Ekin] Relationships are basically
about priorities.
I mean, it's all about the
the kind of effort you're putting in.
Is your other half the focus of your life?
These red flags, as they're called,
they're like, um
they're like little warning signs.
Warning signs of trouble
that's on the way, you know?
There were red flags, and I see that now.
[strumming rock music]
Baby, I've gotta go to the doctor.
What for, babe?
It's for my eyes, honey.
They're gonna dilate my pupils
for an eye exam.
My vision is going to be blurry,
so they told me to take a taxi,
I won't be able to drive for a while.
Okay, babe,
I'll wait for you. Just be quick.
Are you not working today?
Nah, I'm gonna chill for the day.
Okay, see you in a little while.
Be safe.
They’re little things,
but they suggest something serious.
It's like, everything screams,
"Danger here, girl. Majorly dangerous."
Aktan was madly in love with her,
so please don't be too hard on him.
Eşref, speak for yourself! I'm the one
who's getting interviewed here.
I'm just saying, give credit
where it's due. That's all. Geez.
Fine. So, he loved her, great.
Why is that even important
at this point for God's sake?
The man has always so been egocentric.
She even stood me up one time.
Meriko, I don't think
I can make it over there.
But don't hang out by yourself.
Go to Eşek’s or something, okay?
[sighing] Oh, sweetheart, what's going on?
Why are you crying?
- Don't cry, Meriç. You know what?
- [whistles]
I'll hang out with you tomorrow.
- We'll have your favorite--
- [call disconnects]
Hello?
That was Meriç.
[Aktan] Mm-hm?
[Lal] She was so into this one guy,
but he ghosted her. Now she's bawling.
Whatever. That nut job will be fine.
- Hey, baby?
- Hm?
I don't feel good about this.
Is it alright if I go over there?
It's the first time I've ever cooked
in my life. Are you really leaving?
[gentle contemplative music playing]
Hm? Leave me by myself?
Okay, I'll stay with you.
Stay with me.
Alright, I'll see her tomorrow.
- Mm.
- Mm.
[both chuckle]
[Meriç] Whether it was
her commitment to her work,
or spending time with her friends,
Lal was the one
who always made sacrifices.
But when it came to what Aktan
was doing, the little prince,
his plans were always a priority.
He was always number one.
- That smells delicious.
- It's legendary, babe.
- It looks great.
- I made the best.
Sweetheart.
[camera shutter clicks]
[camera whirring]
[Aktan humming]
Is Fatih's birthday on the 31st?
Hey, so I have an idea.
The weather's so nice.
Why don't we go to the beach?
I gotta work, babe.
I got stuff to do.
I know, but you could always
work their too, right?
I can pack a little picnic for us,
make some sandwiches, and you can
do all your work over there, can't you?
It's the end of the month, honey.
I got these bills I gotta figure out.
You understand? Huh?
Go out with the girls.
What's wrong with you?
It's Saturday, right?
[moody music playing]
Twenty percent tax? What the hell?
Fuck that. Where's Samet?
[employee] I think he's in the hall.
[all cheering]
- Bravo! [chuckling]
- [upbeat music playing]
Bring the glasses over here. Okay.
I know you're all wondering
why I gathered you all here,
and popped champagne during the
meeting today, so let me fill you all in.
Because I'm very excited.
Getting in business with Europe
has been a dream for a while.
- And now, it's finally coming true.
- Ha, Bravo!
I wanted to make sure
and share this success with all of you.
[man] Uh, when will
the book be published?
Great question.
So why don't we just ask
our new editor-in-chief if she knows.
- Wait, you mean me?
- [Yelda] That's right.
Seriously? Are you kidding
right now? I can't believe it.
[laughing]
[Miss Yelda] You found that novel, Lal.
And not only that, but you're the one
who has handled
every single detail since then.
[both] Mm.
Thank you so much.
[chuckling] Let's keep up
the good work, then!
[Miss Yelda] That's right. Yes.
Now, everyone get ready to work hard
because we have a string
of novels coming our way.
- Right, Lal?
- That's right. We do.
[cell phone ringing]
Excuse me,
I need to take this call. Hold on.
Alright then.
Has everyone had a chance
to grab a drink yet?
Yeah, we did.
- Hey, sweetie.
- Thank you guys for all your work so far.
- We're excited to celebrate our projects.
- What?
We should have good ones.
GRAVEDAD
[door squeaks]
Are you hurt? Are you all right?
[Aktan groans]
Aktan, get up, we're going to the
hospital. You might need to get stitches.
Relax. I'm fine. I don't wanna deal
with stitches right now.
Stay there. Let me go grab something
to bandage it. I'll take care of it.
How did this happen? What did you do?
That son of a bitch took off
and he left me a huge debt.
The guy hadn't paid any
of our goddam taxes here!
He's been my accountant for years!
I've always trusted him!
[Lal] So, what do you need to do now?
I need to go and find that idiot
so I can fuck him up!
But first, I gotta pay what we owe.
[Lal] This might sting a little bit.
Don't worry about it. [groans]
- Did that hurt? Does it sting?
- Fuck!
Is it really painful?
Here, put this on it.
No, it's fine. Give it to me.
Do you owe a lot of money?
The tax bureau were here
and they took everything.
- We could end up having to close down.
- [gentle guitar music playing]
Fucking hell.
Just tell me what I can do for you.
I'll take care of it. I will.
- No, I still have some, honey.
- Oh, okay.
- This is so cute. I love it.
- Right?
- What is it?
- I've got news.
- What?
- What?
- Hm?
- What is it, Lal?
if Aktan's not looking right now,
I have to tell you something.
He's not.
What's going on? Are you pregnant?
- You're pregnant.
- What?
- [overlapping chatter]
- Don't be silly.
I'm gonna tell you this, but you can't say
anything to Aktan, do you understand me?
You're pregnant.
- Come on, Eşref.
- I just wanted to be absolutely sure.
Do you know who's sitting
in front of you right now?
Who?
- The new editor-in-chief.
- [excited gasps]
- Shh! Can you believe it?
- That's amazing.
[Eşref] You need a coffee refill, Aktan?
- You got a promotion?
- Yes!
[gasps]
That's incredible,
but why are you not telling Aktan?
Well, it's because
he's having trouble at work.
He's really upset, I didn't want to seem
like I was rubbing it in.
Why should that matter?
If something like that were to happen
to Eko, I'd be thrilled for her.
I'd be over the moon.
Alright, I'm gonna tell him tonight. But
for right now, don't tell him anything.
[women chattering and laughing]
["Up And Down" by Olivier Andrès playing]
[song ends]
[water running]
[contemplative music playing]
- What's this?
- [Lal] Surprise!
I got a promotion!
[Aktan sighs]
[sighs]
[Aktan sighs]
Congratulations.
[music stops]
[cell phone vibrates]
Hello?
[Ekin] Hey! So, sweetie, what happened?
Did you tell him? What'd he say?
Mm-hm. I told him.
He said, "Congratulations."
Aw, that's great!
You see, honey? I knew it.
- That's--
- You kept it from him for nothing.
- Right? He must be so happy.
- We know what we're talking about--
- Shh.
- [Lal chatters indistinctly]
Hey, is everything okay?
Oh, we're gonna go out
and celebrate in just a little bit.
I'm gonna get off the phone now.
I'll call you later?
[moody music playing]
Bye, bye.
[music stops]
Honey.
I'm a complete idiot.
Baby.
[kiss]
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, baby. Lately, I've been
[melancholy music playing]
I've been driving myself crazy
with this debt situation.
I couldn't snap out of it.
I'm sorry.
Aren't you even a little happy for me?
Lal. What do you mean?
Every time I see you cry,
it makes me wanna
set the world on fire.
Of course I'm happy.
I hope you understand.
I was feeling sorry for myself.
Come here.
Come here.
Here's the truth.
The truth is, I am proud of you, babe.
But sometimes, I feel
like I don't deserve to have you.
Don't be ridiculous.
That's just silly,
cuz I am happy with you.
Me too.
Me too, babe.
My sweet girl.
- So then
- Hm.
Miss Yelda wants to throw a party
for me tomorrow night.
Aw
You need to be there, okay?
- [chuckling]
- [music fades]
What is so funny?
I'm coming to the party.
Of course, I'll be there.
That's the first thing.
And also, if you thought I wouldn't
celebrate my princess, then shame on you.
That's number two.
[both chuckling]
Pick one.
["Lover Boy" by Toodlum Barker playing]
- This one.
- Beep, beep!
Yeah?
What's in that one?
- I'm guessing you'd rather have this one.
- [chuckling]
[Lal] Mmm.
You're my girl. Let's go.
- Where?
- I'm gonna show you something. Come.
- No, don't be silly. Let's go to bed.
- Just come with me.
- I work tomorrow. What are you doing?
- Come on. Let's go.
- Look at the cat.
- So sweet.
Aktan, you're acting crazy!
Would you tell me what's going on?
- Hello! Just wait.
- What are you doing to me right now?
- You'll find out. We're getting started.
- Is this where you're taking me, Aktan?
Hey, everybody!
This beautiful woman right here,
she is the love of my life.
- And guess what happened today?
- What is it?
This girl was promoted!
- [man] Oh! That's great.
- That's right! She got a job promotion!
She's now the editor-in-chief.
And we're celebrating.
Are you ready to celebrate?
- [Lal] Oh, my goodness.
- Okay.
[Lal chuckles]
Come on, give it up for her!
Huh? Come on!
Drinks on me, guys!
Cuz it's not crowded. And pour two for us.

The party.
[groans]
[upbeat music playing]
Miss Yelda, this is such a wonderful
event, really.
Thank you very much. I'm so happy
that you're enjoying yourself.
I love it, and I know
that Lal is gonna love it, too.
I'm sure she will. I can't wait
to see her reaction to all this.
- I know.
- That girl really deserves it.
- Are you good over here?
- Yes.
Alright, great.
Let me mingle and welcome the guests.
- Of course. Sounds good.
- I'll see you.
- Honey. Honey. Put that back.
- You gotta try this.
- Sweetie, let's go upstairs.
- Can I have one of these?
No, no, not right now.
Let's not eat anything just yet.
There's all this protein in the open.
It attracts the bees.
They're swarming over there.
- Honey
- Look at 'em.
We're gonna eat together upstairs.
Okay? What's going on, huh?
Uh, can you stop fiddling
with your collar? Leave it alone.
I'm fiddling
cuz this is bothering me, babe.
- I feel like a tax attorney in this.
- What do you mean?
- You think this is a good look for me?
- What? You look so good.
[Eşref] The last time I wore this thing
was for my high school graduation.
Look, I can't even button my collar.
I've had this shirt since high school.
If I'd known, we would've gotten
you a new shirt. But you look great.
- And what else would you have worn?
- [Eşref sighs] A T-shirt, maybe?
I feel like I could have gotten away
with wering a T-shirt with this.
- Like this guy, that's what he's wearing.
- Honey, don't point at people. It's rude.
Didn't anyone teach you manners?
You look very handsome.
- I'm falling in love all over again.
- [Meriç] Hello!
- Oh, jeez.
- Uh, uh
It's so quiet.
Is there not a DJ at this party, or what?
- Honey.
- Huh?
Did you have this dress fitted just for
this party tonight? Cuz I don't get it.
No, I came here straight from set.
That's why I look so good right now.
Otherwise, I would've
worn something else.
Meriç, you could've, um,
put a little glitter on your outfit.
- [chuckles]
- Feels like it's not flashy enough.
- That's my opinion. Hm.
- [Meriç] Hm.
Do you remember when I told you
you were a little extra?
This is what I was talking about.
- [Ekin gasps] Honey?
- [Meriç] Laliko!
- [Ekin] Oh my gosh!
- [Meriç] Look at you.
You look stunning.
This dress is gorgeous on you.
- Oh, you like it? Really?
- I love it.
Are you sure I look good?
It was crazy trying to cover
the dark circles I had under my eyes.
We were out all night long. [chuckles]
Oh yeah, we know. We were following
all of it through your stories.
Oh, gosh, don't even get me started.
I don't remember any of it
and I couldn't delete them.
No one can even tell.
You look so amazing right now.
Oh, and where's Aktan?
Working, but he's on his way.
There's Miss Yelda.
Let me say hi. I'll see you all later.
Okay, sweetie.
- She's is so hot.
- So, anyways
- Lal, dear.
- This is quite the event you have here.
[both] Mwah.
- Yes, Mr. Aktan.
- Okay, I'll see you later.
I'm running late.
- Bro, what's up?
- Where're you going?
Dude, my girl got a promotion.
I'm going to celebrate with her.
You wanna join us?
What is my job here? Tell me. Hm?
- It's being a badass.
- Hm.
Look, who even cares? I'm late. Let's go.
- That's why I'm asking what my job is.
- What do you need?
What am I, a DJ or an assistant?
I mean, fuck, did you forget?
We're meeting the PR guys.
Ah, shit. That was today?
Look, that PR guy
that we had earlier disappeared.
You asked me to get a replacement,
I found four,
and we've asked all of them
to be here tonight.
- Fine. Yeah, alright, alright.
- By seven.
Hurry up, Muzo.
I need to be quick,
I have to get out of here.
- Hold this.
- Alright. Let's go.
Hey, honey, sorry about this,
but I'll leave in half an hour,
something came up.
[phone bleeps]
[moody classical music playing]
[Miss Yelda] We've only been
in the industry for a few years now.
Fortunately, Lal appeared
and she took us to the next level.
[chuckling]
We published a novel just recently.
Our first foreign novel in two years.
It's pretty impressive.
I've got plans for Lal, too, some projects
where I could really use her help.
But the thing is that
she’s been ignoring me lately.
She's gotten a bit distracted.
It's her boyfriend.
Oh, Miss Yelda, I'm not ignoring you.
I would never dream of doing that.
[sighs]
What is it? Is he running late tonight?
No, he'll be here soon.
Any minute, he said.
Leaving in half an hour, he just told me.
Uh, I'm gonna give him a call him.
'Scuse me.
Of course.
[recording] The person you are trying
to reach is not available at this time.
Please record your message
after the tone.
[mysterious music playing over violin]
[Ekin] Cruel optimism.
That's what they call it.
Deep down, we know old beliefs that have
been instilled in us no longer serve us,
but we still cling to the idea that
they'll lead us to what we want.
It's gonna work out.
To be honest, I think it's the worst thing
that you can allow to happen to yourself.
There's nothing I can do.
- [Eşref] Right, that's true.
- Mm-hm. Aktan didn't show up. Fine.
- [Meriç] Yeah.
- Doesn't mean the party's not great.
- You're right.
- Exactly.
- That's right.
- A lot went into tonight.
Plus all the people are here for me.
- Mm-hm.
- [Eşref] That's it.
- Right?
- [Eşref] Yeah.
Okay, so so my boyfriend
never showed. Doesn't matter.
- It's not a big deal.
- Yeah.
Here's what we're gonna do,
we're gonna enjoy ourselves.
We'll deal with that later.
- [Ekin] It's time to have fun.
- [Eşref] That's the right attitude.
Not much I can do about it.
He didn't show up.
- [Eşref] Exactly.
- [man] Miss Lal?
You have a guest here.
He's waiting at the front door.
[Eşref] There you go, sweetie. [chuckles]
He's here. I'll be right back.
[Eşref] Yeah, go. Hurry up.
Excuse me, I'm so sorry. Excuse me.
[sighs happily]
[mysterious music playing]
[Barış] Hi.
[chuckles]
When I got the invitation,
I knew it was sent by mistake.
- But then I remembered something.
- [music stops]
What?
[quiet upbeat music playing]
I remember your graduation.
We were celebrating.
I think we were out somewhere.
And I said, "Well Miss Editor,
welcome to you professional life."
- [chuckles]
- And you told me
"Not just a regular editor.
You're gonna call me editor-in-chief."
[both chuckle]
Those were your words.
I'm proud of you.
[Lal chuckles faintly]
[contemplative music playing]
[car horns honking]
Come on. Let's go, man.
[car horn honks]
[sighs]
- [man] Get these cars outta the way!
- What is it? A wreck, or what?
Gotta clear the road!
Come on! Let's go! Move it!
You know what? Fuck this.
- [sighs]
- [distant siren blaring]
Damn it, I got no battery. [sighs]
The charging cable's all fucked, too.
[contemplative music stops]
- [chuckles]
- It's my little one.
- Her name's Luna.
- Aw, Barış.
She is such a little cutie.
I wanted to give her a home.
Oh, she's so precious.
There's more.
No, what is it?
- [chuckles]
- What else have you done?
I finished my first story.
You're kidding me.
- No, I'm not.
- Where is it?
Cuz I wanna read it.
You gotta let me see it, immediately.
I was telling you
to write that thing for years.
And you finally did it.
Ah.
Hello.
- I'm guessing you were busy.
- That's right, I barely made it here.
Well, we had an amazing cake
that we already cut.
- Great.
- We've taken lots of pictures as well.
- Mm.
- Mm, then, Lal got up
and gave a beautiful speech.
And you, you missed the entire thing.
I'm confused.
So, am I supposed to apologize
to you or her?
[Miss Yelda chuckles]
It's better that we see
your true colors from the beginning.
- Hm.
- It's hard to see when blinded by love.
Anyway, uh, Lal is downstairs.
[both chuckle]
I finally put a smile on your face.
[chuckling] Yeah.
Barış, this is really amazing.
Good for you.
[tense musical stinger]
Thank you for coming.
Anytime.
Am I interrupting?
[tense music playing]
Seems like you two are comfortable.
Sweetheart?
Come on in.
Beautiful flowers. Are they for me?
Welcome, Barış.
Welcome yourself.
I got here a while ago.
Well, I'm here now.
That alone should speak for itself, huh?
Aktan, please don't.
Let's go.
- Move.
- Aktan, are you serious?
You show up late,
and now you’re acting this way?
That's enough, we'll talk later.
But right now, we're having a drink.
The bar's over there.
Go get whatever you want,
I'm gonna walk Barış out.
- Lal!
- [gasps]
[Lal] Aktan, stop yelling.
What're you doing?
You will never leave me
to go talk to someone again.
You hear me? Let's go.
Is that an order?
I'm gonna say goodbye to Barış now.
You can't stop me either.
Is that right?
Fine.
- [glass shattering]
- [people gasping]
[moody dramatic music playing]
[Miss Yelda] It was hard to watch,
she was literally fading that night.
Aktan had claimed every moment
she could have felt important,
valued, or proud.
- Not through his presence
- Lal!
but through his absence.
[Aktan] Are you serious?
Lal!
Where are you?
Lal, I'm talking to you? Hey!
I don't want to hear it, Aktan.
Why'd you invite that guy?
No, the question is why'd I invite you?
You don't even bother to show,
or you do, and you cause a scene.
At least he showed up to the thing.
Oh, so you did invite him
after all, you admit it.
Leave me alone, Aktan. Out of my way.
What do you mean, leave you alone?
I'm talking to you. Hey.
Do you see him behind my back?
Are the two of you meeting up
in secret or something?
Just stop it. Don't be ridiculous.
Listen to me right now.
I want the truth! I deserve that!
Okay. I'll tell you.
- He was sent an invitation by mistake.
- Hm.
He wasn't even planning on coming,
and then he remembered
how important it was to me.
- Mm.
- It is my life-long dream, after all.
Unlike my boyfriend, he understood
how much this mattered to me,
that it was a big deal.
He celebrated my success.
Alright? Are you satisfied?
What was he whispered
in your ear? Tell me that.
Before you hugged him?
I'll tell you that, too.
- He said how proud he was of me.
- Mm.
- Know what that made me do?
- No, what?
It made me cry tears of joy, Aktan.
I wish it had come
from the man I love, not my ex,
but it didn't because you were not there.
Alright? Will you shut up now?
Lal, look at me.
- Don't make me flip out.
- [faint tense musical stinger]
I'm not a little kid.
You owe me an explanation.
Mm-hm.
Great word choice.
Cuz you're so mature.
Do you want a real fight? Huh?
[sighs]
Do you wanna fight?
Let's fucking do it!
I told you that I couldn't make it.
What's so hard to understand?
I couldn't leave.
You know the club is a mess.
What do you want me to do?
I wasn't able to come!
How about letting me know at least?
You weren't stranded in the desert.
You could've called!
Listen, sweetheart, I'm done.
I've had enough.
Let's drop it cuz I'm sick of this.
Honey, please. I texted you.
Did you not see the text from me? Huh?
You said you were leaving in half an hour,
but didn't show up till two hours later.
Oh, what a horrible sin I've committed!
- What a terrible sin!
- Stop yelling.
Then quit driving me crazy!
Good lord, what a horrible sin.
Half an hour, two hours.
Who cares? So what?
What am I supposed to do?
Aktan, you have some excuse
for everything! Drop it!
It's better to stop talking
about it anyway!
- Turn the light off when you leave.
- Not happening, we're gonna talk.
- Leave me alone.
- Lal.
I don't wanna talk. Leave me alone!
You make it sound like
I did something awful,
like I assaulted you or cheated on you.
- What the heck did I do?
- [sighs]
So, I was late, Lal. I'm sorry that I was
working my ass off, damn it! I was late!
Oh, so you're ignoring me?
Huh?
Aktan, leave me alone.
Well, at least I wasn't over there
flirting with my ex like you were doing.
The lights are off.
Do whatever the fuck you want.
- I swear to God, I'll kill you!
- Do it then!
- I'll kill you! What did you just say?
- Yeah, do it. Whatever.
What did you say?
Why don't you say it again?
- Get out of here.
- Let's hear it! I wanna hear it!
Say it again. Say it to my face!
- What do you want? Stop!
- This is the attitude you have right now?
You've never done one thing for me,
and now you're giving me this attitude?
Name one thing!
What have you ever done to support me?
What're you talking about?
Have you ever cared
about any of my things?
What else could I do to support you?
Well, maybe you could get off your ass
and give me a ride to the doctor!
Go with me,
keep me company, what a novel idea!
- Did you ever think to ask?
- I shouldn't have to ask you!
I care about all your things,
anything related to you, Aktan!
I put everything in my life
on hold just for you!
- And what have you ever done for me?
- What have I done? Really?
Oh, yeah, I'm a terrible fucking person!
You might as well fuck me over!
Tell me what I've done?
I got promoted and I kept it from you.
It was my biggest accomplishment.
I made sure to keep it quiet. Cuz I was
certain it would make you get upset!
I couldn't even feel happy!
Oh, God, you know what? Fuck this shit.
What the fuck is this about?
If you hate me so much,
if you're as unhappy as you say,
then pack up and go somewhere else!
Why're you here? Just get out!
Aktan, that's not
what I'm trying to tell you!
Then tell me what the fuck you are!
I feel alone!
["İstesenre de Sevemezsin"

I feel really alone.
Fuck your loneliness.
- [door shuts]

Fucking lonely.
Yes, I'm lonely, too.
This is the way we're gonna
communicate then, huh? I wanna talk.
But no. She refuses to.
Why? Cuz she's gotta mope.
She's just has to.
She screwed me over tonight.
Completely screwed me over.
She has the nerve to hug that guy.
Your boyfriend is there, for fuck's sake.
Why are you two hugging?
God, that guy, Barış, that little bastard.
I should've kicked him like this!
That's what he deserved.
Fucking cocksucker.
Who does he think he is?
Just leave me alone.
Stay away from me, son of a bitch!
Son of a motherfucker!
Fuck off.
Bastard.
Motherfucker. Talk to me.
Son of a bitch. Huh? Huh?
Motherfucker. Fuck you.
Fucker!
Cocksucker.

There were red flags, and I see that now.

Baby, I've gotta go to the doctor.
What for, babe?
It's for my eyes, honey.
They're gonna dilate my pupils
for an eye exam.
My vision is going to be blurry,
so they told me to take a taxi,
I won't be able to drive for a while.
Okay, babe,
I'll wait for you. Just be quick.
Are you not working today?
Nah, I'm gonna chill for the day.
Okay, see you in a little while.
Be safe.
They’re little things,
but they suggest something serious.
It's like, everything screams,
"Danger here, girl. Majorly dangerous."
Aktan was madly in love with her,
so please don't be too hard on him.
Eşref, speak for yourself! I'm the one
who's getting interviewed here.
I'm just saying, give credit
where it's due. That's all. Geez.
Fine. So, he loved her, great.
Why is that even important
at this point for God's sake?
The man has always so been egocentric.
She even stood me up one time.
Meriko, I don't think
I can make it over there.
But don't hang out by yourself.
Go to Eşek’s or something, okay?
[sighing] Oh, sweetheart, what's going on?
Why are you crying?
- Don't cry, Meriç. You know what?
- [whistles]
I'll hang out with you tomorrow.
- We'll have your favorite--

Hello?
That was Meriç.
[Aktan] Mm-hm?
[Lal] She was so into this one guy,
but he ghosted her. Now she's bawling.
Whatever. That nut job will be fine.

I don't feel good about this.
Is it alright if I go over there?

Hm? Leave me by myself?
Okay, I'll stay with you.
Stay with me.
Alright, I'll see her tomorrow.
- Mm.
- Mm.
[both chuckle]
[Meriç] Whether it was
her commitment to her work,
or spending time with her friends,
Lal was the one
who always made sacrifices.
But when it came to what Aktan
was doing, the little prince,
his plans were always a priority.
He was always number one.
- That smells delicious.

Because I'm very excited.
Getting in business with Europe
has been a dream for a while.
- And now, it's finally coming true.
- Ha, Bravo!
I wanted to make sure
and share this success with all of you.
[man] Uh, when will
the book be published?
Great question.
So why don't we just ask
our new editor-in-chief if she knows.
- Wait, you mean me?
- [Yelda] That's right.
Seriously? Are you kidding
right now? I can't believe it.
[laughing]
[Miss Yelda] You found that novel, Lal.
And not only that, but you're the one
who has handled
every single detail since then.
[both] Mm.
Thank you so much.
[chuckling] Let's keep up
the good work, then!
[Miss Yelda] That's right. Yes.
Now, everyone get ready to work hard
because we have a string
of novels coming our way.
- Right, Lal?
- That's right. We do.

Excuse me,
I need to take this call. Hold on.
Alright then.
Has everyone had a chance
to grab a drink yet?
Yeah, we did.
- Hey, sweetie.
- Thank you guys for all your work so far.
- We're excited to celebrate our projects.
- What?
We should have good ones.
GRAVEDAD
[door squeaks]
Are you hurt? Are you all right?
[Aktan groans]
Aktan, get up, we're going to the
hospital. You might need to get stitches.
Relax. I'm fine. I don't wanna deal
with stitches right now.
Stay there. Let me go grab something
to bandage it. I'll take care of it.
How did this happen? What did you do?
That son of a bitch took off
and he left me a huge debt.
The guy hadn't paid any
of our goddam taxes here!
He's been my accountant for years!
I've always trusted him!
[Lal] So, what do you need to do now?
I need to go and find that idiot
so I can fuck him up!
But first, I gotta pay what we owe.
[Lal] This might sting a little bit.
Don't worry about it. [groans]
- Did that hurt? Does it sting?
- Fuck!
Is it really painful?
Here, put this on it.
No, it's fine. Give it to me.
Do you owe a lot of money?
The tax bureau were here
and they took everything.
- We could end up having to close down.
- [gentle guitar music playing]
Fucking hell.
Just tell me what I can do for you.
I'll take care of it. I will.
- No, I still have some, honey.
- Oh, okay.
- This is so cute. I love it.
- Right?
- What is it?
- I've got news.
- What?
- What?
- Hm?
- What is it, Lal?
if Aktan's not looking right now,
I have to tell you something.
He's not.
What's going on? Are you pregnant?
- You're pregnant.
- What?
- [overlapping chatter]
- Don't be silly.
I'm gonna tell you this, but you can't say
anything to Aktan, do you understand me?
You're pregnant.
- Come on, Eşref.
- I just wanted to be absolutely sure.
Do you know who's sitting
in front of you right now?
Who?
- The new editor-in-chief.
- [excited gasps]
- Shh! Can you believe it?
- That's amazing.
[Eşref] You need a coffee refill, Aktan?
- You got a promotion?
- Yes!
[gasps]
That's incredible,
but why are you not telling Aktan?
Well, it's because
he's having trouble at work.
He's really upset, I didn't want to seem
like I was rubbing it in.
Why should that matter?
If something like that were to happen
to Eko, I'd be thrilled for her.
I'd be over the moon.
Alright, I'm gonna tell him tonight. But
for right now, don't tell him anything.

Did you tell him? What'd he say?
Mm-hm. I told him.
He said, "Congratulations."
Aw, that's great!
You see, honey? I knew it.
- That's--
- You kept it from him for nothing.
- Right? He must be so happy.
- We know what we're talking about--
- Shh.
- [Lal chatters indistinctly]
Hey, is everything okay?
Oh, we're gonna go out
and celebrate in just a little bit.
I'm gonna get off the phone now.
I'll call you later?

Bye, bye.

Honey.
I'm a complete idiot.
Baby.
[kiss]
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, baby. Lately, I've been
[melancholy music playing]
I've been driving myself crazy
with this debt situation.
I couldn't snap out of it.
I'm sorry.
Aren't you even a little happy for me?
Lal. What do you mean?
Every time I see you cry,
it makes me wanna
set the world on fire.
Of course I'm happy.
I hope you understand.
I was feeling sorry for myself.
Come here.
Come here.
Here's the truth.
The truth is, I am proud of you, babe.
But sometimes, I feel
like I don't deserve to have you.
Don't be ridiculous.
That's just silly,
cuz I am happy with you.
Me too.
Me too, babe.
My sweet girl.
- So then
- Hm.
Miss Yelda wants to throw a party
for me tomorrow night.
Aw
You need to be there, okay?
- [chuckling]
- [music fades]
What is so funny?
I'm coming to the party.
Of course, I'll be there.
That's the first thing.
And also, if you thought I wouldn't
celebrate my princess, then shame on you.
That's number two.

- This one.
- Beep, beep!
Yeah?

- I'm guessing you'd rather have this one.
- [chuckling]

You're my girl. Let's go.
- Where?
- I'm gonna show you something. Come.
- No, don't be silly. Let's go to bed.
- Just come with me.
- I work tomorrow. What are you doing?
- Come on. Let's go.
- Look at the cat.
- So sweet.
Aktan, you're acting crazy!
Would you tell me what's going on?
- Hello! Just wait.
- What are you doing to me right now?
- You'll find out. We're getting started.
- Is this where you're taking me, Aktan?
Hey, everybody!
This beautiful woman right here,
she is the love of my life.
- And guess what happened today?
- What is it?
This girl was promoted!
- [man] Oh! That's great.
- That's right! She got a job promotion!
She's now the editor-in-chief.
And we're celebrating.
Are you ready to celebrate?

- Okay.

Come on, give it up for her!
Huh? Come on!

Miss Yelda, this is such a wonderful
event, really.
Thank you very much. I'm so happy
that you're enjoying yourself.
I love it, and I know
that Lal is gonna love it, too.
I'm sure she will. I can't wait
to see her reaction to all this.
- I know.
- That girl really deserves it.
- Are you good over here?
- Yes.
Alright, great.
Let me mingle and welcome the guests.
- Of course. Sounds good.
- I'll see you.
- Honey. Honey. Put that back.
- You gotta try this.
- Sweetie, let's go upstairs.
- Can I have one of these?
No, no, not right now.
Let's not eat anything just yet.
There's all this protein in the open.
It attracts the bees.
They're swarming over there.
- Honey
- Look at 'em.
We're gonna eat together upstairs.
Okay? What's going on, huh?
Uh, can you stop fiddling
with your collar? Leave it alone.
I'm fiddling
cuz this is bothering me, babe.
- I feel like a tax attorney in this.
- What do you mean?
- You think this is a good look for me?
- What? You look so good.
[Eşref] The last time I wore this thing
was for my high school graduation.
Look, I can't even button my collar.
I've had this shirt since high school.
If I'd known, we would've gotten
you a new shirt. But you look great.
- And what else would you have worn?
- [Eşref sighs] A T-shirt, maybe?
I feel like I could have gotten away
with wering a T-shirt with this.
- Like this guy, that's what he's wearing.
- Honey, don't point at people. It's rude.
Didn't anyone teach you manners?
You look very handsome.
- I'm falling in love all over again.
- [Meriç] Hello!
- Oh, jeez.
- Uh, uh
It's so quiet.
Is there not a DJ at this party, or what?
- Honey.
- Huh?
Did you have this dress fitted just for
this party tonight? Cuz I don't get it.
No, I came here straight from set.
That's why I look so good right now.
Otherwise, I would've
worn something else.
Meriç, you could've, um,
put a little glitter on your outfit.
- [chuckles]
- Feels like it's not flashy enough.
- That's my opinion. Hm.
- [Meriç] Hm.
Do you remember when I told you
you were a little extra?
This is what I was talking about.
- [Ekin gasps] Honey?
- [Meriç] Laliko!
- [Ekin] Oh my gosh!
- [Meriç] Look at you.
You look stunning.
This dress is gorgeous on you.
- Oh, you like it? Really?
- I love it.
Are you sure I look good?
It was crazy trying to cover
the dark circles I had under my eyes.
We were out all night long. [chuckles]
Oh yeah, we know. We were following
all of it through your stories.
Oh, gosh, don't even get me started.
I don't remember any of it
and I couldn't delete them.
No one can even tell.
You look so amazing right now.
Oh, and where's Aktan?
Working, but he's on his way.
There's Miss Yelda.
Let me say hi. I'll see you all later.
Okay, sweetie.
- She's is so hot.
- So, anyways
- Lal, dear.
- This is quite the event you have here.
[both] Mwah.
- Yes, Mr. Aktan.
- Okay, I'll see you later.
I'm running late.
- Bro, what's up?
- Where're you going?
Dude, my girl got a promotion.
I'm going to celebrate with her.
You wanna join us?
What is my job here? Tell me. Hm?
- It's being a badass.
- Hm.
Look, who even cares? I'm late. Let's go.
- That's why I'm asking what my job is.
- What do you need?
What am I, a DJ or an assistant?
I mean, fuck, did you forget?
We're meeting the PR guys.
Ah, shit. That was today?
Look, that PR guy
that we had earlier disappeared.
You asked me to get a replacement,
I found four,
and we've asked all of them
to be here tonight.
- Fine. Yeah, alright, alright.
- By seven.
Hurry up, Muzo.
I need to be quick,
I have to get out of here.
- Hold this.
- Alright. Let's go.
Hey, honey, sorry about this,
but I'll leave in half an hour,
something came up.
[phone bleeps]
[moody classical music playing]
[Miss Yelda] We've only been
in the industry for a few years now.
Fortunately, Lal appeared
and she took us to the next level.
[chuckling]
We published a novel just recently.
Our first foreign novel in two years.
It's pretty impressive.
I've got plans for Lal, too, some projects
where I could really use her help.
But the thing is that
she’s been ignoring me lately.
She's gotten a bit distracted.
It's her boyfriend.
Oh, Miss Yelda, I'm not ignoring you.
I would never dream of doing that.
[sighs]
What is it? Is he running late tonight?
No, he'll be here soon.
Any minute, he said.
Leaving in half an hour, he just told me.
Uh, I'm gonna give him a call him.
'Scuse me.
Of course.
[recording] The person you are trying
to reach is not available at this time.
Please record your message
after the tone.
[mysterious music playing over violin]
[Ekin] Cruel optimism.
That's what they call it.
Deep down, we know old beliefs that have
been instilled in us no longer serve us,
but we still cling to the idea that
they'll lead us to what we want.
It's gonna work out.
To be honest, I think it's the worst thing
that you can allow to happen to yourself.
There's nothing I can do.
- [Eşref] Right, that's true.
- Mm-hm. Aktan didn't show up. Fine.
- [Meriç] Yeah.
- Doesn't mean the party's not great.
- You're right.
- Exactly.
- That's right.
- A lot went into tonight.
Plus all the people are here for me.
- Mm-hm.
- [Eşref] That's it.
- Right?
- [Eşref] Yeah.
Okay, so so my boyfriend
never showed. Doesn't matter.
- It's not a big deal.
- Yeah.
Here's what we're gonna do,
we're gonna enjoy ourselves.
We'll deal with that later.
- [Ekin] It's time to have fun.
- [Eşref] That's the right attitude.
Not much I can do about it.
He didn't show up.
- [Eşref] Exactly.
- [man] Miss Lal?
You have a guest here.
He's waiting at the front door.
[Eşref] There you go, sweetie. [chuckles]
He's here. I'll be right back.
[Eşref] Yeah, go. Hurry up.
Excuse me, I'm so sorry. Excuse me.
[sighs happily]
[mysterious music playing]
[Barış] Hi.

I knew it was sent by mistake.

We were celebrating.
I think we were out somewhere.
And I said, "Well Miss Editor,
welcome to you professional life."
- [chuckles]
- And you told me
"Not just a regular editor.
You're gonna call me editor-in-chief."
[both chuckle]
Those were your words.
I'm proud of you.
[Lal chuckles faintly]
[contemplative music playing]
[car horns honking]
Come on. Let's go, man.
[car horn honks]
[sighs]
- [man] Get these cars outta the way!
- What is it? A wreck, or what?
Gotta clear the road!
Come on! Let's go! Move it!
You know what? Fuck this.
- [sighs]
- [distant siren blaring]
Damn it, I got no battery. [sighs]
The charging cable's all fucked, too.
[contemplative music stops]
- [chuckles]
- It's my little one.
- Her name's Luna.
- Aw, Barış.
She is such a little cutie.
I wanted to give her a home.
Oh, she's so precious.
There's more.
No, what is it?
- [chuckles]
- What else have you done?
I finished my first story.
You're kidding me.
- No, I'm not.
- Where is it?
Cuz I wanna read it.
You gotta let me see it, immediately.
I was telling you
to write that thing for years.
And you finally did it.
Ah.
Hello.
- I'm guessing you were busy.
- That's right, I barely made it here.
Well, we had an amazing cake
that we already cut.
- Great.
- We've taken lots of pictures as well.
- Mm.
- Mm, then, Lal got up
and gave a beautiful speech.
And you, you missed the entire thing.
I'm confused.
So, am I supposed to apologize
to you or her?
[Miss Yelda chuckles]
It's better that we see
your true colors from the beginning.
- Hm.
- It's hard to see when blinded by love.
Anyway, uh, Lal is downstairs.
[both chuckle]
I finally put a smile on your face.
[chuckling] Yeah.
Barış, this is really amazing.
Good for you.
[tense musical stinger]
Thank you for coming.
Anytime.
Am I interrupting?
[tense music playing]
Seems like you two are comfortable.
Sweetheart?
Come on in.
Beautiful flowers. Are they for me?
Welcome, Barış.
Welcome yourself.
I got here a while ago.
Well, I'm here now.
That alone should speak for itself, huh?
Aktan, please don't.
Let's go.
- Move.
- Aktan, are you serious?
You show up late,
and now you’re acting this way?
That's enough, we'll talk later.
But right now, we're having a drink.
The bar's over there.
Go get whatever you want,
I'm gonna walk Barış out.
- Lal!
- [gasps]
[Lal] Aktan, stop yelling.
What're you doing?
You will never leave me
to go talk to someone again.
You hear me? Let's go.
Is that an order?
I'm gonna say goodbye to Barış now.
You can't stop me either.
Is that right?
Fine.
- [glass shattering]
- [people gasping]
[moody dramatic music playing]
[Miss Yelda] It was hard to watch,
she was literally fading that night.
Aktan had claimed every moment
she could have felt important,
valued, or proud.
- Not through his presence
- Lal!
but through his absence.
[Aktan] Are you serious?
Lal!
Where are you?
Lal, I'm talking to you? Hey!
I don't want to hear it, Aktan.
Why'd you invite that guy?
No, the question is why'd I invite you?
You don't even bother to show,
or you do, and you cause a scene.
At least he showed up to the thing.
Oh, so you did invite him
after all, you admit it.
Leave me alone, Aktan. Out of my way.
What do you mean, leave you alone?
I'm talking to you. Hey.
Do you see him behind my back?
Are the two of you meeting up
in secret or something?
Just stop it. Don't be ridiculous.
Listen to me right now.
I want the truth! I deserve that!
Okay. I'll tell you.
- He was sent an invitation by mistake.
- Hm.
He wasn't even planning on coming,
and then he remembered
how important it was to me.
- Mm.
- It is my life-long dream, after all.
Unlike my boyfriend, he understood
how much this mattered to me,
that it was a big deal.
He celebrated my success.
Alright? Are you satisfied?
What was he whispered
in your ear? Tell me that.
Before you hugged him?
I'll tell you that, too.
- He said how proud he was of me.
- Mm.
- Know what that made me do?
- No, what?
It made me cry tears of joy, Aktan.
I wish it had come
from the man I love, not my ex,
but it didn't because you were not there.
Alright? Will you shut up now?
Lal, look at me.
- Don't make me flip out.
- [faint tense musical stinger]
I'm not a little kid.
You owe me an explanation.
Mm-hm.
Great word choice.
Cuz you're so mature.
Do you want a real fight? Huh?
[sighs]
Do you wanna fight?
Let's fucking do it!
I told you that I couldn't make it.
What's so hard to understand?
I couldn't leave.
You know the club is a mess.
What do you want me to do?
I wasn't able to come!
How about letting me know at least?
You weren't stranded in the desert.
You could've called!
Listen, sweetheart, I'm done.
I've had enough.
Let's drop it cuz I'm sick of this.
Honey, please. I texted you.
Did you not see the text from me? Huh?
You said you were leaving in half an hour,
but didn't show up till two hours later.
Oh, what a horrible sin I've committed!
- What a terrible sin!
- Stop yelling.
Then quit driving me crazy!
Good lord, what a horrible sin.
Half an hour, two hours.
Who cares? So what?
What am I supposed to do?
Aktan, you have some excuse
for everything! Drop it!
It's better to stop talking
about it anyway!
- Turn the light off when you leave.
- Not happening, we're gonna talk.
- Leave me alone.
- Lal.
I don't wanna talk. Leave me alone!
You make it sound like
I did something awful,
like I assaulted you or cheated on you.
- What the heck did I do?
- [sighs]
So, I was late, Lal. I'm sorry that I was
working my ass off, damn it! I was late!
Oh, so you're ignoring me?
Huh?
Aktan, leave me alone.
Well, at least I wasn't over there
flirting with my ex like you were doing.
The lights are off.
Do whatever the fuck you want.
- I swear to God, I'll kill you!
- Do it then!
- I'll kill you! What did you just say?
- Yeah, do it. Whatever.
What did you say?
Why don't you say it again?
- Get out of here.
- Let's hear it! I wanna hear it!
Say it again. Say it to my face!
- What do you want? Stop!
- This is the attitude you have right now?
You've never done one thing for me,
and now you're giving me this attitude?
Name one thing!
What have you ever done to support me?
What're you talking about?
Have you ever cared
about any of my things?
What else could I do to support you?
Well, maybe you could get off your ass
and give me a ride to the doctor!
Go with me,
keep me company, what a novel idea!
- Did you ever think to ask?
- I shouldn't have to ask you!
I care about all your things,
anything related to you, Aktan!
I put everything in my life
on hold just for you!
- And what have you ever done for me?
- What have I done? Really?
Oh, yeah, I'm a terrible fucking person!
You might as well fuck me over!
Tell me what I've done?
I got promoted and I kept it from you.
It was my biggest accomplishment.
I made sure to keep it quiet. Cuz I was
certain it would make you get upset!
I couldn't even feel happy!
Oh, God, you know what? Fuck this shit.
What the fuck is this about?
If you hate me so much,
if you're as unhappy as you say,
then pack up and go somewhere else!
Why're you here? Just get out!
Aktan, that's not
what I'm trying to tell you!
Then tell me what the fuck you are!
I feel alone!
["İstesenre de Sevemezsin"
by Nova Norda playing]
I feel really alone.
Fuck your loneliness.
- [door shuts]
- [sobbing]
Fucking lonely.
Yes, I'm lonely, too.
This is the way we're gonna
communicate then, huh? I wanna talk.
But no. She refuses to.
Why? Cuz she's gotta mope.
She's just has to.
She screwed me over tonight.
Completely screwed me over.
She has the nerve to hug that guy.
Your boyfriend is there, for fuck's sake.
Why are you two hugging?
God, that guy, Barış, that little bastard.
I should've kicked him like this!
That's what he deserved.
Fucking cocksucker.
Who does he think he is?
Just leave me alone.
Stay away from me, son of a bitch!
Son of a motherfucker!
Fuck off.
Bastard.
Motherfucker. Talk to me.
Son of a bitch. Huh? Huh?
Motherfucker. Fuck you.
Fucker!
Cocksucker.
["İstesenre de Sevemezsin" continues]

[distant boat engine rumbling]
[Aktan sniffles]
[crying quietly]
I can't live without you.
["Never Be Apart" by Jerry Thomas
& Jonny Moscow playing]
I can't do it.
No, I'm the one
who can't live without you.
Sweetheart.

- There's my girl!
- Hey, what's going on?
- Not much. I missed you.
- I missed you too.
- I'm taking off. He's over there.
- Okay, see you.
- Sounds good. See you later. Bye.

Wow, baby, you look beautiful.

This is my girlfriend, Lal.
Oh, really? Okay.
I didn't know. It's nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Hare.
Lal.

So, you're the one
who will bring about our epic demise.
