We'll Be Fine (2026) s01e05 Episode Script
Possibilities That Never Happened
1
[contemplative music playing]
There's something stirring inside me.
The voice of fear,
is that you talking again?
Whoever you are, I don't wanna hear it.
- Not now. I'm so happy.
- [cell phone vibrates]
Eko?
I'm fine, how are you?
[Ekin] Right now, Eşref is working
on some weird coffee recipes,
and seeing as how
I'm his guinea pig, I've gotta
- No, stop. What're you doing?
- Try these.
So, what's happening with you?
How was your date last night?
Date? It was nice.
Did you like him?
- What was his name again? Ah.
- Sinan.
Yeah, Sinan. Uh He was sweet.
- He's a really nice guy.
- [Ekin] Aw.
[Eşref] Why is she quiet? Are you trying
to keep your voice down, Lal?
[Ekin] Is he with you?
- [exhales deeply] I've gotta go, okay?
- Wait a minute, tell me everything! Lal!
[gentle melodic music playing]
[Lal] On one hand,
I'm the happiest woman in the world.
On the other,
there's something going on.
I can feel it in my veins,
but what is it?
I couldn't say what it is.
I couldn't if I tried.
WE’LL BE FINE
[upbeat music playing]
[Lal] Aktan!
Are you taking me
to your uncle's house right now?
[Aktan chuckles]
I wish you would have told me,
I would've worn something else.
You're fine, honey. Relax.
If you knew him,
you'd be glad you're wearing that.
I would've put a little more thought
into what I was wearing at least.
Honey, you look incredible.
Wow, this place is beautiful.
Right?
[birds calling]
Come on.
GO BUY THESE (LET LAL STAY HERE)
What's this?
Ah, shit.
"Leave Lal"
"Lu lu lu," oh god.
[both chuckle]
Let's go together, babe.
It's no big deal, we'll only be alone
for like fifteen, twenty, or so.
[scraping sound]
- You've got a really beautiful house.
- [Teoman] Shh
Oh, sorry.
I was thirty-three years old back then.
[clears his throat]
And I thought that I was incredibly
mature now that I was that age.
[chuckles]
Then my wife died.
And my brother and his wife.
In one night.
Yeah, Aktan told me. I'm so sorry about--
- No, wait. Don't move.
- Oh, right, sorry.
I'll stay quiet.
Uh-huh.
I was left with Aktan.
Five years old.
Couldn't look at him for months.
I was angry at him.
I'd lost everyone. How was I supposed
to take care of the kid?
I was already depressed. [chuckles]
So, I, uh
[drawing]
I just let it go.
Hired a caretaker for him.
And I started partying hard,
staying out til morning.
Drinking as much as I could.
Mm.
Sometimes the women I brought home
would take care of him.
They would cuddle with him.
You know, they'd tuck him into bed.
[moody music playing]
I never reached out to grab the kid's
hand. I wasn't affectionate.
I never loved on him, or
or smiled at him.
I never thought,
this kid lost his mother,
he lost his father
he's just a little boy.
For me, Aktan felt like
more of a punishment
than a nephew.
- Has Aktan ever--
- One day
I was sick.
It wasn't a big deal,
but I had a fever, so I went to bed.
When I woke up, I looked over
and there was a note there.
So, I opened it up.
It said, "Uncle, please don't die."
My nephew was never loved,
so he doesn’t know how to love.
Because he was never a part of a family.
He never had a chance
to spend time around others
who really would show him how to care.
The truth, you see,
is that being a kid with no one around
to show you how to love,
that was a real cruelty.
So, what do I do?
Teach him, if you can.
It's hard. You really think
you're up for it? [chuckles]
Cuz we know soon,
he's gonna stumble again.
So, if you can't do this,
I understand, but you should leave now.
You should do it
before he gets more attached.
Because if my nephew
goes down again, oof.
That'll be it. He'll be beyond saving.
You mind if I move now?
[Lal breathes deeply and sniffles]
I'll never leave your nephew.
[moody music continues]
[Lal giggles]
[Lal] Baby, open your mouth.
Here we go Oh!
Come on, honey.
[Lal] You're not trying hard enough.
You gotta tilt your head more to the left.
- Okay, fine. Throw it.
- [Lal] Mm. Oh.
Honey, give it more of an arc when you
throw it, so I can catch it, come on.
Just catch it, for God's sake.
What are you doing?
- [Lal] Yeah.
- [sighs]
I swear to Ah! There.
- [Lal giggles]
- You're teaming up now.
Yeah. Of course.
[Teoman grumbles]
Come here, sweetheart.
- Hey. Hey.
- Come here.
Come here. Come here, hon.
- [Teoman chuckles]
- What's going on?
- Dude.
- You're one to talk.
Oh, don't even start with all that.
There was one time, honey, that I
I brought over a friend from college.
- That's who lululu is.
- [Lal gasps]
Alright, hey, she's the one who made
a move on me. What could I do?
[Lal chuckles]
Okay. I'm gonna go get us some wine.
- [light jazzy music playing]
- [chuckles]
[Teoman] Whoa, wait!
Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
I don't want you touching the wine
cuz you don't know what you're doing.
I've aged those babies carefully.
Aktan, you bring the wine.
- Go.
- Aktan, just a second.
I know that the barrel on the right
is still fermenting. It's not finished.
It needs to be transferred.
I'll skim off the top
to make sure everything's clear
and avoid stirring up any of the sediment
or getting any of the odor from the yeast.
See? I think I'm pretty good.
Alright, in that case,
let him be your errand boy.
[Teoman and Lal chuckles]
[Lal] I'll be right back.
Mm.
Yeah.
Pst! Pss.
- What?
- [Aktan] What do you think?
About what?
Do you like my girl?
Um
I, uh
I do, but
Anyway whatever.
Uncle Teoman, don't screw around,
I'm asking you something.
Tell me. Don't we look good together?
This girl
she is outta your league.
[dramatic music playing]
What?
You asked me a question.
[groans]
[cell phone vibrates]
[vibrating continues]
Hello? Meriko?
Oh, hey, girl!
Hey we're over at Ekin's house.
So come and hang out with us.
Oh, and you're on speaker with us all.
Lal, Meriç has a new side-piece
she's been seeing!
- [Meriç] Shut up!
- He's a professional clown, apparently!
- A mime, it's different than a clown.
- Okay, not a clown.
- He plays with balls. He's a big baller.
- Because to mime, it's very hard.
- You heard her.
- Okay, no clowning. He's a mimer.
- Lal
- Fine, whatever. Who cares.
So, Sinan, huh?
Tell us everything, how was it?
Let's hear it, girl.
We want all the details.
Uh, it might be better if I stayed home.
I'm feeling pretty tired.
I think I should rest.
[Meriç] What do you mean?
Are you really that tired?
Um really guys,
I'm gonna take it easy today,
but I'll see you tomorrow, I promise.
You guys have fun,
lots of kisses, alright? I'll see you.
- Wait--
- [disconnect tone]
Uh, oh. She hung up.
She got off the phone quick. Okay.
[Ekin] Mmm.
- Ah. There is a chance
- [Ekin] Hm?
It's small, but
Do you think she could
have gotten back with Aktan.
- No way.
- [Ekin] Of course not.
I've called Lal all morning. It wasn't
until the eighth call that she picked up.
You know this is what she does whenever
she's hanging out with him, right?
No, she wouldn't. Stop saying that.
You really are annoying,
you know that, Meriko?
You're always driving us crazy.
You can't recognize a toxic relationship,
can you? That's what's happening here.
You know, you are a victim
of a healthy relationship.
That's what's going on with you.
You're a lucky little bastard,
that's what you are.
Oh my God. Do you really think
that she could be lying to us?
Here we go. Welcome
to the over-thinking hour with Eko.
Come here, sweetie, don't worry.
Put your head right here.
Go ahead and do all the over-thinking
that you want to.
Right, she wouldn't lie.
No, she wouldn't lie, sweetie.
- Right, Meriç? She wouldn't lie to us.
- That's right. Lal would never lie.
Aktan?
Son, you're not gonna be able
to keep this girl.
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm just saying,
if you don't do something about it.
What else am I supposed to do?
Huh? Tell me. What?
Yeah, she's amazing,
smart, and she's beautiful.
I know that. So what am I? Shit?
That's not it, no.
She's way more than that.
This girl's real. She's authentic.
- You understand?
- [sighs]
You can't fool a person
who is real like that.
You gotta be real, too. Alright?
So I'm fake then?
[melancholic music playing]
Are you not?
Don't push me, Uncle Teoman.
- [scoffs]
- So you get to decide this?
It's up to you?
Outta my league, Jesus. [chuckles]
Am I wrong? Huh?
Are you, in fact, real?
Of course I'm real.
When have I lied to you about anything?
Didn't you ever get angry with me?
Why are you asking me
that question right now?
I didn't take care of you.
Yeah, you were depressed.
How were you supposed
to take care of me like that? Huh?
Fine, but I had the responsibility
cuz I was the adult. You were the kid.
You were hurting then.
And now it's all in the past.
I treated you like you were a bastard.
I never looked you in the face,
and I was all you had.
Okay, what now?
Should we sit and cry about it?
Seriously. How did we get on this topic?
What's going on with you, huh?
[Aktan sighs]
So, you're real, huh?
Alright, then, come on. Tell me.
If you truly are real.
Tell me you were just a kid.
Say that your parents were gone.
Just tell me, I was all you had,
and I fucking left you all alone.
If you're so real, then let me hear it!
[sighs]
Oh my God.
You gotta sort these things out, Aktan.
Or you won't be able to keep her.
She's gonna run. She won't stay.
No one would stay with you.
You gotta open up.
Let go of your anger.
Thrust the sword into you,
twist it, and let everything flow out.
Or you'll never love a woman
like a man should.
Either be a man, or you'll be history.
[dramatic music playing]
Aktan?
Aktan.
[gasps]
Uncle Teoman, where did you go?
[Teoman] Mm.
Down by the water.
[music fades]
[Lal] Sweetie?
Sweetheart?
Aktan.
Baby, look at me.
Look at me.
What's wrong?
Something's wrong. What is it?
What if I can't make you happy?
[moody music playing]
What if I fail?
You're the only woman I've ever loved.
What if
I fail you again?
Oh, baby.
Sweetheart.
Having you next to me
is enough to make me happy.
You don't have to do anything,
you know that?
I'm very much in love with you.
Don't do anything.
Just be here, and that's enough, okay?
[Lal] Let's stop right there.
Because love cannot begin
with so much fear.
At some point,
we've got to conquer our fear.
More than anything else,
love wants to believe.
[Ekin] No one should be making such
grand promises like that to anyone.
You promise that you'll never leave him
but he doesn't know
how to love someone else.
So then what will happen?
Alright, fine, don't demand what you want.
Set your demands aside, all while
you take over his responsibilities.
How do you survive?
Hm? How do you carry that, Lal?
Because that's not dedication.
It's taking care of yourself last.
It's strange, sometimes you get so stuck
that you may not even see
how stuck you are anymore.
It's true. Why is that?
All this focus
on making it work no matter what.
Neglecting everything
except keeping each other.
However the body feels it.
The body?
It will never forget.
The body realizes.
The body's aware of everything.
[both groan]
[tense music swelling]
[shuddering]
[distant dog barking]
Aktan?
Aktan.
[gasping]
Open!
Aktan!
[glass shatters]
- Aktan.
- Sweetie.
Aktan, get up!
- What's going on?
- Get up! Get up!
What is it? Are you okay?
[Lal] No matter
how much you lie to yourself
- Talk to me, what's going on?
- and make promises you can't keep
Okay, just, uh, sit down okay?
- I got you, okay? I got you.
- your heart tries to tell you things.
- Sweetheart.
- If you have the courage to listen to it.
- Baby, you gotta calm down.
- If you don't.
Aktan, I'm having a heart attack!
- then it will have to raise its voice.
- Look at me and try to calm down.
[siren blaring]
- [Aktan] Someone help! An emergency!
- Right in here, sir!
- [Lal] I can't breathe.
- I need someone! Now! Hurry!
I can't breathe.
Okay, honey. We're here.
- This way. Right here! Take her.
- I think I'm having a heart attack!
- Baby, you okay?
- We're on our way. Moving!
- Moving! Clear the way!
- Is she okay?
- Aktan, stay here! Don't leave me!
- Baby, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere.
Let's get her an EKG.
Take her to the EKG room immediately.
- Come on.
- [Aktan] I'm right here, baby.
[panting]
My heart is beating so fast.
Something's wrong. I don't know.
Maybe it's a heart attack!
[dramatic music stops]
[Ekin] When did you make up?
Two days ago.
[Ekin sighs]
Ekin.
You know how much I love Lal, right?
I never doubted that.
[moody music playing]
- Hm.
- And that that's the problem.
The problem is that you love her.
If that's how you love her, stop it.
You're being unfair.
I didn't do anything this time.
- Everything was fine.
- Was it really?
If everything was so fine, then what
the hell happened to her? Huh?
Why has she been
so stressed out, lately? Huh?
Doctor says this was a panic attack. Did
you notice how she's been acting lately?
Have you seen the scratches? She's been
so stressed out. Have you noticed?
Do you even care
what she's gone through?
Eko, what happened?
- What's going on? Is everything alright?
- Can you get me out of here, please?
- Please, Eşref.
- Okay, come on.
- [Ekin exhales deeply]
- Let's go.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Lal groans faintly]
- Sweetheart?
- Baby.
- Can I please have some water?
- [music fades]
Are you alright?
What happened to me?
Drink.
I guess you were bored.
And you wanted your boyfriend
to be scared half to death.
[gentle contemplative music playing]
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry, baby?
It's not your fault.
I'm the one who is sorry.
Come here.
- Ouch, you're on my arm.
- Oh.
- [Lal] Mm.
- Are you alright?
[Lal] Mm-hm.
Does it hurt anywhere?
- [Lal] Mm-mm.
- Hm?
Did I scare you? Hm?
[both chuckle]
What did the doctor say?
[interviewer] Why is everyone angry
at Aktan? He came back after all.
He said, I love you. So what is it?
[scoffs]
He couldn't do it on his own, though.
What do you mean?
[Teoman] Mm
[rooster crowing]
Uh Oh, fuck this.
What am I? A big shot? [chuckles]
When you really wanna love somebody,
you've first gotta
You've gotta commit to them.
You've gotta be the one they love.
And have the balls to look
at where you're coming from.
Take your issues, hang-ups, all of it,
and try to resolve them.
Nobody's around to be your parents.
You wanna contribute to your partnership?
Then you better learn
how you can handle
being yourself.
- Come in.
- [Lal] Don't go overboard.
- I'm not paralyzed. I can use my legs.
- I don't care.
- Get her a mug?
- [Lal] I didn't take my shoes off.
- It's fine. Don't worry about it.
- No, don't let them touch the carpet.
Let's go, right over here.
Sweetheart, I can walk. Really, I'm fine.
[Aktan chuckles] Stay here.
Okay, let's get her a blanket.
You know Meriç is shooting.
- There you go.
- She's still on set.
- She'll stop by to see you later.
- Do I really need all this? It's summer.
And here you are, ma'am,
this is from me.
What? Oh gosh. No way, you didn't.
- Of course, I did. It's for you.
- You did?
- Kopi Luwak. Here you are. Enjoy it.
- Yes!
- Is that a band?
- Is what a band?
- [chuckles]
- I don't understand what you said.
- It's coffee.
- The most expensive coffee in the world.
- [Aktan] The most expensive coffee.
- [Ekin] It's one of Lal's favorites.
[Eşref] It's made
from cat shit in Indonesia.
Aktan, uh you're
- You'll order food, right? In a bit?
- [Aktan] No.
I thought I'd starve her for a while
and then put her to bed when you go.
Really funny.
Are you two gonna learn how
to get along eventually?
[Ekin] Sweetie, I've gotta go.
I have a session.
I love you, we'll talk soon. We should go.
- Thank you.
- [blows kiss]
[gentle upbeat music playing]
See you.
[scoffs] Oh my god.
Man, she doesn't like me. She's crazy.
Shh!
Kopi Luwak?
Nope. That stuff's shit.
[both chuckle]
The dumb-ass is drinking cat shit.
Why are you laughing?
What?
You just need to get a grip on yourself,
so that you can fulfill
your womanly duties.
- Uh, I can't fulfill anything right now.
- Enough of this being sick business.
- I'm in remission.
- Move over.
Yeah. She's in remission.
That's right.
What's that mean?
It means I'm resting.
I'm sick and resting right now.
Sweetie.
You know what?
- Just get up.
- What?
I'll take this off.
- We can’t get comfortable.
- I know.
- What do we do? I am.
- Are you comfortable now?
- Here. [chuckles]
- Mm.
- I've been thinking about, uh
- Mm?
going to therapy.
We're fucked.
Uh-oh. Why is that?
Cuz you'll get smarter and then leave me.
I would kill that therapist.
And I'd fuck that therapist up
before you could.
I would.
- Mm.
- Sweetie.
- Maybe you should start therapy, too.
- Why is that?
- You said you would do it.
- Hm?
Everyone's got repressed emotions
deep inside.
That's why I said it.
I mean, yeah, we'll see. We'll try it.
- You're really gonna go.
- Mm-hm.
Okay.
Sweetie.
- Here, I got it.
- Hold the door, jeez. Watch it.
- It wasn't that bad, are you serious?
- Yes, Eko it's truly awful.
- Are you alright?
- Well, yeah.
- That was great. I loved that.
- That was crazy, I nearly died.
My legs are totally gone,
I'm over here walking like a penguin.
I thought it felt refreshing.
I feel a lot better.
- [groans]
- I got rid of all my stress.
Well, I think
they gave me extra stress now.
No way. Lal?
- Uh-oh.
- Oh.
Did she really make time
for us over Aktan?
- [Ekin] Lal?
- How was Pilates?
- Good.
- Hey, sweetie.
- It was pretty normal.
- Hi.
I’ll get back to it soon.
I've really been slacking off.
Eko, guess where I'm going tomorrow.
Therapy.
What?
Why aren't you happy?
It was your suggestion.
Yeah, I am.
That's great.
So what are we drinking?
[moody contemplative music playing]
What's going on with you guys?
Are you really asking us that, Lal?
Say something, Ekin.
Or don't. Yeah, that's fine.
Just sit there in silence
when you should be talking.
Last night you called me crying
for hours talking about everything.
Eko.
What's going on? Why were you crying?
When were you gonna tell us
you and Aktan were back together?
You lied to us, you know?
You said you were with Sinan,
but you actually were with Aktan.
And none of us knew anything about it
until you were in the hospital.
[faintly] Uh
It's embarrassing.
[Meriç scoffs] Hm.
I was just embarrassed,
that’s why I kept it from you guys.
Cuz I knew you didn't want me
to make up with Aktan.
And I know you don't want this
for my own good, but
[breathes deeply]
But I swear to you guys,
this is the last time really--
Honey, no. Just stop it. Come on.
Whatever lie you wanna tell yourself,
that's fine, you go ahead.
But we don't wanna hear it anymore.
Because we put our lives on hold
to take care of you.
But you keep fooling yourself.
It's Aktan, Aktan, Aktan,
like you can't see
what's happening to you, girl.
If you're gonna do it, at least stop lying
to our faces about it.
I'm going crazy. I'm leaving.
If I stay here, I'll say something mean.
- Come on. Where are you going?
- Let me cool off. I'll talk to you later.
Are you gonna leave, too, Ekin?
Oh I'm sorry. Really.
[Ekin sighs]
Do you get it? I was embarrassed.
That's why I couldn't tell anybody.
I'm sorry.
Are you alright?
Yeah.
Are you alright?
No more lies, okay?
No, no, I'm done lying to you.
- I'm through with that.
- No more lying.
You know I normally
would never lie to you, Ekin.
- Okay.
- Meriç.
- You're an idiot, Lal. Stupid idiot.
- How can you just leave like that?
I really feel horrible about this.
I came here
so I could apologize to you guys.
- Okay.
- Come on, let's sit and talk.
- Okay, I'm here.
- Sit down.
Yeah, I know, I got angry,
I was impulsive. But, you know.
- I know, I know.
- Okay, she's never gonna lie to us again.
- No more lies.
- I'm through lying to you.
- No, no, I'm done. Never again.
- Be honest.
- Okay? Okay. Good.
- I'm sorry.
- [Meriç] Mm-hm.
- Let me buy you coffee.
Yeah, of course you're gonna
buy coffee for us, girl.
Yeah, you are!
I'm gonna order the most expensive one.
I can't wait to have you pay
for this one, girl.
She's been working out
on an empty stomach.
I felt bad for Lal.
Someone that you love so much,
it's not easy
watching her go through it,
not being able to do anything for her.
You know?
Cuz she's the one
who's gotta realize everything.
You see? There are certain things
you learn by experience.
[sighs] I wanted to to grab her
and scream, "You're not
the only one who needs therapy."
"He needs therapy as much as anyone.
Aktan should go."
"I mean no relationship is gonna work
if it's just one-sided."
"You're gonna be crushed again, Lal."
"You were warned at work,
you went to the hospital."
"There is something in you
that's telling you,
your body is screaming from inside."
[interviewer] But Lal started going
to therapy. She did take some action.
Hm Yeah she did.
She took action.
You wanna guess what she did?
What?
She went to Hare. To apologize.
What would you study
if it weren't psychology?
[overlapping shouting]
- Don't worry about it. We're good.
- Way to go, Lal. Really good job.
- Alright, time's up, that's it.
- Hold on, okay, whatever.
- The first card is wild.
- Hey!
- Sweetheart, let me get a beer over here.
- Oh, sweetheart, huh?
You think that you can just call her that?
You bastard, get your own beer.
Did I ask her to go to the store?
Would you hand me one of those?
We should have another point.
Oh, let me read this card.
Okay, I'm ready. I'm ready. Here I go.
Alright so, Muzo,
he came up behind me and then he
- pushed me over when we were inside--
- You can't say inside.
- You just said inside. No point.
- [Lal] What was it?
- Hi.
- What was it?
- [Muzo] Hey, Hare.
- Hey everyone
[Eşref] Hey, welcome.
[pop music playing]
Hey, hon, are you sure?
Mm-hm.
From now on, I'm doing things right.
I'm gonna clean up my life.
- Good to see you, Hare.
- And you as well.
So what do you want?
There's beer if you want some.
[Hare] Okay, I'll have a beer.
[footsteps]
Thank you for coming.
- So, go on.
- [contemplative music playing]
I am
I'm going through
something intense with Aktan.
It's the first time
I've experienced this kind of thing.
It's the reason I lost control that night.
I want to apologize to you.
Oh, is that right?
That's right.
I'll admit it, I was really mean to you.
I was acting out of anger,
my heart was broken.
And, obviously,
I don't know you very well.
But you're working with Aktan.
So you'll you'll be in our lives,
and I I wanted to
extend an olive branch to you.
If that's what you want, too.
Of course.
That sounds good.
We should let it go.
- It's a deal?
- It's a deal.
- Hey, babe.
- Mm.
- Did it go okay?
- Mm-hm.
- It is.
- You're good? Good.
We were out here talking. You know
the croissants these idiots have?
- Enough already
- [scoffs]
Don't you think they're awful?
- Okay, okay.
- Not great.
- The butter. What do they use for it?
- They're really not good.
I mean, maybe they're using margarine
or something else that's fake.
[Eşref] Okay, man,
I'll tell them to sort it out.
Isn't that what I was saying?
[intriguing music playing]
[Lal] And right
then is when I felt the pain.
That voice of fear started talking again.
There's something
something bad about this.
I want to trust Aktan.
But something inside me doesn't want to.
Sweetie, your coffee is ready.
Would you like some breakfast, too?
I'm gonna shower, babe.
Okay.
- [groans faintly]
- [bird calling]
Mm.
[door closes]
It's as if my heart
is trying to tell me something.
I can't suppress the voice
even if I wanted to.
[contemplative music playing]
[door closes]
I CLOSE MY EYES, I CAN STILL
FEEL YOUR SWEAT ON ME.
AND I CAN STILL HEAR YOUR VOICE
IN MY EARS I CAN'T BEAR IT!
UNTIL OUR NEXT MEETING.
AT HOME?
YOU?
Sweetheart?
She's so sweet.
Look there's coffee for her boyfriend.
She's got good service.
I'll give her that.
Definitely five stars.
And she deserves a tip, too.
Sweetie.
What's going on?
Uh
Listen to me, honey.
First of all, just calm down.
I was completely devastated at the time.
You had left me,
and I didn't know what to do.
I was destroyed.
I thought I was gonna die.
And I hadn't done anything.
[panting]
Why are you crying?
Let's talk this out.
Sweetheart.
[sighs]
How can I possibly explain this to you?
It just happened all of a sudden, Lal.
I'm sorry, sweetie, okay?
I am. I'm sorry. Can we talk about this?
Hey, calm down.
Honey, what're you doing?
You're freaking me out here.
[tense music swelling]
[music stops]
[panting]
Sweetie, listen to me.
I'm telling you,
it's really not like that.
Lal.
Lal.
When?
What?
- When did it start?
- [dramatic music playing]
Lal, hey. Come on.
I asked, when did it start.
That night.
The night we broke up?
Lal.
The same night we broke up,
you went over there to see her?
Yeah, babe, it sounds really awful
when you put it that way,
but that's not what any of this was.
I mean, you were crying and shit.
I felt horrible, too.
Sweetheart, please.
Please, I was so angry
Lal, hey, listen to me.
Aktan. Let me go!
Look at me. Just listen. Listen.
No, don't you dare leave.
I won't make this mistake again.
Please, I'll never hurt you again.
Baby
My sweet girl.
Do you wanna know
what I was doing that same night?
What'd you do?
I was with somebody, too.
I was so desperate that night
that I found myself at his doorstep.
- Whose?
- Barış'.
Let me go.
I knocked on his door like crazy.
As if I would die if he didn't open it.
But thankfully he did.
And he saw me!
And unlike you
Barış realized
what was going on with me.
He was there for me,
he held me and didn't say a thing.
God damn that fucker! I've heard enough!
Don't worry. I didn't do what you did.
I didn't immediately sleep
with someone like you did,
cuz I'm not like you,
and Barış isn't either!
I swear to you, I'm about to lose my shit!
Do you know what Barış did?
He put me on his lap and held me.
Barış ran his fingers through my hair
for hours while I cried like I was dying.
Shut up! Stop telling me this.
That's enough! Fuck this shit!
You know what I felt
when I was there, Aktan? I felt trust.
I felt trust, Aktan. Something I never
feel when I'm with you.
Fuck off. Fuck off!
Fuck off!
[whimpering]
I'm not done saying what I wanna say!
Shut your mouth. Be quiet!
I don't wanna hear your shit!
Whenever Barış holds me
in his arms, I feel safe.
I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch.
I'm gonna fuck him up.
How is it possible that someone
could give you exactly what you need
- without even saying anything?
- Lal, stop. Fucking shit!
How wonderfully
a person can love another,
- that's what I understood that night!
- Shut up!
Be quiet! That's enough!
Stop it.
I'll kill you. Do you hear me?
You haven't heard the truth yet.
What the fuck is the truth?
What's the truth? You fucked me over!
What the fuck is the truth?
Fuck you. Fuck you.
What I said to Barış that night
when I was sitting on his lap
What I said was
"I wish I hadn't left you, Barış."
"I chose the wrong man."
[moody music playing]
So, now fuck you!
["Yaktım ah bu defteri"
by Nova Norda playing]
DO NOT PARK IN FRON
OF THE GARAGE DOOR!
[panting]
[music becomes faint]
Barış?
You son of a bitch.
How dare you mess with my girlfriend?
How dare you?
- [groaning]
- You fucking motherfucker.
Who the hell you think--
[Aktan grunts]
Motherfucker.
[groans]
[Aktan and Barış groan]
["Yaktım ah bu defteri" continues]
["Yaktım ah bu defteri" ends]
[contemplative music playing]
There's something stirring inside me.
The voice of fear,
is that you talking again?
Whoever you are, I don't wanna hear it.
- Not now. I'm so happy.
- [cell phone vibrates]
Eko?
I'm fine, how are you?
[Ekin] Right now, Eşref is working
on some weird coffee recipes,
and seeing as how
I'm his guinea pig, I've gotta
- No, stop. What're you doing?
- Try these.
So, what's happening with you?
How was your date last night?
Date? It was nice.
Did you like him?
- What was his name again? Ah.
- Sinan.
Yeah, Sinan. Uh He was sweet.
- He's a really nice guy.
- [Ekin] Aw.
[Eşref] Why is she quiet? Are you trying
to keep your voice down, Lal?
[Ekin] Is he with you?
- [exhales deeply] I've gotta go, okay?
- Wait a minute, tell me everything! Lal!
[gentle melodic music playing]
[Lal] On one hand,
I'm the happiest woman in the world.
On the other,
there's something going on.
I can feel it in my veins,
but what is it?
I couldn't say what it is.
I couldn't if I tried.
WE’LL BE FINE
[upbeat music playing]
[Lal] Aktan!
Are you taking me
to your uncle's house right now?
[Aktan chuckles]
I wish you would have told me,
I would've worn something else.
You're fine, honey. Relax.
If you knew him,
you'd be glad you're wearing that.
I would've put a little more thought
into what I was wearing at least.
Honey, you look incredible.
Wow, this place is beautiful.
Right?
[birds calling]
Come on.
GO BUY THESE (LET LAL STAY HERE)
What's this?
Ah, shit.
"Leave Lal"
"Lu lu lu," oh god.
[both chuckle]
Let's go together, babe.
It's no big deal, we'll only be alone
for like fifteen, twenty, or so.
[scraping sound]
- You've got a really beautiful house.
- [Teoman] Shh
Oh, sorry.
I was thirty-three years old back then.
[clears his throat]
And I thought that I was incredibly
mature now that I was that age.
[chuckles]
Then my wife died.
And my brother and his wife.
In one night.
Yeah, Aktan told me. I'm so sorry about--
- No, wait. Don't move.
- Oh, right, sorry.
I'll stay quiet.
Uh-huh.
I was left with Aktan.
Five years old.
Couldn't look at him for months.
I was angry at him.
I'd lost everyone. How was I supposed
to take care of the kid?
I was already depressed. [chuckles]
So, I, uh
[drawing]
I just let it go.
Hired a caretaker for him.
And I started partying hard,
staying out til morning.
Drinking as much as I could.
Mm.
Sometimes the women I brought home
would take care of him.
They would cuddle with him.
You know, they'd tuck him into bed.
[moody music playing]
I never reached out to grab the kid's
hand. I wasn't affectionate.
I never loved on him, or
or smiled at him.
I never thought,
this kid lost his mother,
he lost his father
he's just a little boy.
For me, Aktan felt like
more of a punishment
than a nephew.
- Has Aktan ever--
- One day
I was sick.
It wasn't a big deal,
but I had a fever, so I went to bed.
When I woke up, I looked over
and there was a note there.
So, I opened it up.
It said, "Uncle, please don't die."
My nephew was never loved,
so he doesn’t know how to love.
Because he was never a part of a family.
He never had a chance
to spend time around others
who really would show him how to care.
The truth, you see,
is that being a kid with no one around
to show you how to love,
that was a real cruelty.
So, what do I do?
Teach him, if you can.
It's hard. You really think
you're up for it? [chuckles]
Cuz we know soon,
he's gonna stumble again.
So, if you can't do this,
I understand, but you should leave now.
You should do it
before he gets more attached.
Because if my nephew
goes down again, oof.
That'll be it. He'll be beyond saving.
You mind if I move now?
[Lal breathes deeply and sniffles]
I'll never leave your nephew.
[moody music continues]
[Lal giggles]
[Lal] Baby, open your mouth.
Here we go Oh!
Come on, honey.
[Lal] You're not trying hard enough.
You gotta tilt your head more to the left.
- Okay, fine. Throw it.
- [Lal] Mm. Oh.
Honey, give it more of an arc when you
throw it, so I can catch it, come on.
Just catch it, for God's sake.
What are you doing?
- [Lal] Yeah.
- [sighs]
I swear to Ah! There.
- [Lal giggles]
- You're teaming up now.
Yeah. Of course.
[Teoman grumbles]
Come here, sweetheart.
- Hey. Hey.
- Come here.
Come here. Come here, hon.
- [Teoman chuckles]
- What's going on?
- Dude.
- You're one to talk.
Oh, don't even start with all that.
There was one time, honey, that I
I brought over a friend from college.
- That's who lululu is.
- [Lal gasps]
Alright, hey, she's the one who made
a move on me. What could I do?
[Lal chuckles]
Okay. I'm gonna go get us some wine.
- [light jazzy music playing]
- [chuckles]
[Teoman] Whoa, wait!
Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
I don't want you touching the wine
cuz you don't know what you're doing.
I've aged those babies carefully.
Aktan, you bring the wine.
- Go.
- Aktan, just a second.
I know that the barrel on the right
is still fermenting. It's not finished.
It needs to be transferred.
I'll skim off the top
to make sure everything's clear
and avoid stirring up any of the sediment
or getting any of the odor from the yeast.
See? I think I'm pretty good.
Alright, in that case,
let him be your errand boy.
[Teoman and Lal chuckles]
[Lal] I'll be right back.
Mm.
Yeah.
Pst! Pss.
- What?
- [Aktan] What do you think?
About what?
Do you like my girl?
Um
I, uh
I do, but
Anyway whatever.
Uncle Teoman, don't screw around,
I'm asking you something.
Tell me. Don't we look good together?
This girl
she is outta your league.
[dramatic music playing]
What?
You asked me a question.
[groans]
[cell phone vibrates]
[vibrating continues]
Hello? Meriko?
Oh, hey, girl!
Hey we're over at Ekin's house.
So come and hang out with us.
Oh, and you're on speaker with us all.
Lal, Meriç has a new side-piece
she's been seeing!
- [Meriç] Shut up!
- He's a professional clown, apparently!
- A mime, it's different than a clown.
- Okay, not a clown.
- He plays with balls. He's a big baller.
- Because to mime, it's very hard.
- You heard her.
- Okay, no clowning. He's a mimer.
- Lal
- Fine, whatever. Who cares.
So, Sinan, huh?
Tell us everything, how was it?
Let's hear it, girl.
We want all the details.
Uh, it might be better if I stayed home.
I'm feeling pretty tired.
I think I should rest.
[Meriç] What do you mean?
Are you really that tired?
Um really guys,
I'm gonna take it easy today,
but I'll see you tomorrow, I promise.
You guys have fun,
lots of kisses, alright? I'll see you.
- Wait--
- [disconnect tone]
Uh, oh. She hung up.
She got off the phone quick. Okay.
[Ekin] Mmm.
- Ah. There is a chance
- [Ekin] Hm?
It's small, but
Do you think she could
have gotten back with Aktan.
- No way.
- [Ekin] Of course not.
I've called Lal all morning. It wasn't
until the eighth call that she picked up.
You know this is what she does whenever
she's hanging out with him, right?
No, she wouldn't. Stop saying that.
You really are annoying,
you know that, Meriko?
You're always driving us crazy.
You can't recognize a toxic relationship,
can you? That's what's happening here.
You know, you are a victim
of a healthy relationship.
That's what's going on with you.
You're a lucky little bastard,
that's what you are.
Oh my God. Do you really think
that she could be lying to us?
Here we go. Welcome
to the over-thinking hour with Eko.
Come here, sweetie, don't worry.
Put your head right here.
Go ahead and do all the over-thinking
that you want to.
Right, she wouldn't lie.
No, she wouldn't lie, sweetie.
- Right, Meriç? She wouldn't lie to us.
- That's right. Lal would never lie.
Aktan?
Son, you're not gonna be able
to keep this girl.
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm just saying,
if you don't do something about it.
What else am I supposed to do?
Huh? Tell me. What?
Yeah, she's amazing,
smart, and she's beautiful.
I know that. So what am I? Shit?
That's not it, no.
She's way more than that.
This girl's real. She's authentic.
- You understand?
- [sighs]
You can't fool a person
who is real like that.
You gotta be real, too. Alright?
So I'm fake then?
[melancholic music playing]
Are you not?
Don't push me, Uncle Teoman.
- [scoffs]
- So you get to decide this?
It's up to you?
Outta my league, Jesus. [chuckles]
Am I wrong? Huh?
Are you, in fact, real?
Of course I'm real.
When have I lied to you about anything?
Didn't you ever get angry with me?
Why are you asking me
that question right now?
I didn't take care of you.
Yeah, you were depressed.
How were you supposed
to take care of me like that? Huh?
Fine, but I had the responsibility
cuz I was the adult. You were the kid.
You were hurting then.
And now it's all in the past.
I treated you like you were a bastard.
I never looked you in the face,
and I was all you had.
Okay, what now?
Should we sit and cry about it?
Seriously. How did we get on this topic?
What's going on with you, huh?
[Aktan sighs]
So, you're real, huh?
Alright, then, come on. Tell me.
If you truly are real.
Tell me you were just a kid.
Say that your parents were gone.
Just tell me, I was all you had,
and I fucking left you all alone.
If you're so real, then let me hear it!
[sighs]
Oh my God.
You gotta sort these things out, Aktan.
Or you won't be able to keep her.
She's gonna run. She won't stay.
No one would stay with you.
You gotta open up.
Let go of your anger.
Thrust the sword into you,
twist it, and let everything flow out.
Or you'll never love a woman
like a man should.
Either be a man, or you'll be history.
[dramatic music playing]
Aktan?
Aktan.
[gasps]
Uncle Teoman, where did you go?
[Teoman] Mm.
Down by the water.
[music fades]
[Lal] Sweetie?
Sweetheart?
Aktan.
Baby, look at me.
Look at me.
What's wrong?
Something's wrong. What is it?
What if I can't make you happy?
[moody music playing]
What if I fail?
You're the only woman I've ever loved.
What if
I fail you again?
Oh, baby.
Sweetheart.
Having you next to me
is enough to make me happy.
You don't have to do anything,
you know that?
I'm very much in love with you.
Don't do anything.
Just be here, and that's enough, okay?
[Lal] Let's stop right there.
Because love cannot begin
with so much fear.
At some point,
we've got to conquer our fear.
More than anything else,
love wants to believe.
[Ekin] No one should be making such
grand promises like that to anyone.
You promise that you'll never leave him
but he doesn't know
how to love someone else.
So then what will happen?
Alright, fine, don't demand what you want.
Set your demands aside, all while
you take over his responsibilities.
How do you survive?
Hm? How do you carry that, Lal?
Because that's not dedication.
It's taking care of yourself last.
It's strange, sometimes you get so stuck
that you may not even see
how stuck you are anymore.
It's true. Why is that?
All this focus
on making it work no matter what.
Neglecting everything
except keeping each other.
However the body feels it.
The body?
It will never forget.
The body realizes.
The body's aware of everything.
[both groan]
[tense music swelling]
[shuddering]
[distant dog barking]
Aktan?
Aktan.
[gasping]
Open!
Aktan!
[glass shatters]
- Aktan.
- Sweetie.
Aktan, get up!
- What's going on?
- Get up! Get up!
What is it? Are you okay?
[Lal] No matter
how much you lie to yourself
- Talk to me, what's going on?
- and make promises you can't keep
Okay, just, uh, sit down okay?
- I got you, okay? I got you.
- your heart tries to tell you things.
- Sweetheart.
- If you have the courage to listen to it.
- Baby, you gotta calm down.
- If you don't.
Aktan, I'm having a heart attack!
- then it will have to raise its voice.
- Look at me and try to calm down.
[siren blaring]
- [Aktan] Someone help! An emergency!
- Right in here, sir!
- [Lal] I can't breathe.
- I need someone! Now! Hurry!
I can't breathe.
Okay, honey. We're here.
- This way. Right here! Take her.
- I think I'm having a heart attack!
- Baby, you okay?
- We're on our way. Moving!
- Moving! Clear the way!
- Is she okay?
- Aktan, stay here! Don't leave me!
- Baby, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere.
Let's get her an EKG.
Take her to the EKG room immediately.
- Come on.
- [Aktan] I'm right here, baby.
[panting]
My heart is beating so fast.
Something's wrong. I don't know.
Maybe it's a heart attack!
[dramatic music stops]
[Ekin] When did you make up?
Two days ago.
[Ekin sighs]
Ekin.
You know how much I love Lal, right?
I never doubted that.
[moody music playing]
- Hm.
- And that that's the problem.
The problem is that you love her.
If that's how you love her, stop it.
You're being unfair.
I didn't do anything this time.
- Everything was fine.
- Was it really?
If everything was so fine, then what
the hell happened to her? Huh?
Why has she been
so stressed out, lately? Huh?
Doctor says this was a panic attack. Did
you notice how she's been acting lately?
Have you seen the scratches? She's been
so stressed out. Have you noticed?
Do you even care
what she's gone through?
Eko, what happened?
- What's going on? Is everything alright?
- Can you get me out of here, please?
- Please, Eşref.
- Okay, come on.
- [Ekin exhales deeply]
- Let's go.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Lal groans faintly]
- Sweetheart?
- Baby.
- Can I please have some water?
- [music fades]
Are you alright?
What happened to me?
Drink.
I guess you were bored.
And you wanted your boyfriend
to be scared half to death.
[gentle contemplative music playing]
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry, baby?
It's not your fault.
I'm the one who is sorry.
Come here.
- Ouch, you're on my arm.
- Oh.
- [Lal] Mm.
- Are you alright?
[Lal] Mm-hm.
Does it hurt anywhere?
- [Lal] Mm-mm.
- Hm?
Did I scare you? Hm?
[both chuckle]
What did the doctor say?
[interviewer] Why is everyone angry
at Aktan? He came back after all.
He said, I love you. So what is it?
[scoffs]
He couldn't do it on his own, though.
What do you mean?
[Teoman] Mm
[rooster crowing]
Uh Oh, fuck this.
What am I? A big shot? [chuckles]
When you really wanna love somebody,
you've first gotta
You've gotta commit to them.
You've gotta be the one they love.
And have the balls to look
at where you're coming from.
Take your issues, hang-ups, all of it,
and try to resolve them.
Nobody's around to be your parents.
You wanna contribute to your partnership?
Then you better learn
how you can handle
being yourself.
- Come in.
- [Lal] Don't go overboard.
- I'm not paralyzed. I can use my legs.
- I don't care.
- Get her a mug?
- [Lal] I didn't take my shoes off.
- It's fine. Don't worry about it.
- No, don't let them touch the carpet.
Let's go, right over here.
Sweetheart, I can walk. Really, I'm fine.
[Aktan chuckles] Stay here.
Okay, let's get her a blanket.
You know Meriç is shooting.
- There you go.
- She's still on set.
- She'll stop by to see you later.
- Do I really need all this? It's summer.
And here you are, ma'am,
this is from me.
What? Oh gosh. No way, you didn't.
- Of course, I did. It's for you.
- You did?
- Kopi Luwak. Here you are. Enjoy it.
- Yes!
- Is that a band?
- Is what a band?
- [chuckles]
- I don't understand what you said.
- It's coffee.
- The most expensive coffee in the world.
- [Aktan] The most expensive coffee.
- [Ekin] It's one of Lal's favorites.
[Eşref] It's made
from cat shit in Indonesia.
Aktan, uh you're
- You'll order food, right? In a bit?
- [Aktan] No.
I thought I'd starve her for a while
and then put her to bed when you go.
Really funny.
Are you two gonna learn how
to get along eventually?
[Ekin] Sweetie, I've gotta go.
I have a session.
I love you, we'll talk soon. We should go.
- Thank you.
- [blows kiss]
[gentle upbeat music playing]
See you.
[scoffs] Oh my god.
Man, she doesn't like me. She's crazy.
Shh!
Kopi Luwak?
Nope. That stuff's shit.
[both chuckle]
The dumb-ass is drinking cat shit.
Why are you laughing?
What?
You just need to get a grip on yourself,
so that you can fulfill
your womanly duties.
- Uh, I can't fulfill anything right now.
- Enough of this being sick business.
- I'm in remission.
- Move over.
Yeah. She's in remission.
That's right.
What's that mean?
It means I'm resting.
I'm sick and resting right now.
Sweetie.
You know what?
- Just get up.
- What?
I'll take this off.
- We can’t get comfortable.
- I know.
- What do we do? I am.
- Are you comfortable now?
- Here. [chuckles]
- Mm.
- I've been thinking about, uh
- Mm?
going to therapy.
We're fucked.
Uh-oh. Why is that?
Cuz you'll get smarter and then leave me.
I would kill that therapist.
And I'd fuck that therapist up
before you could.
I would.
- Mm.
- Sweetie.
- Maybe you should start therapy, too.
- Why is that?
- You said you would do it.
- Hm?
Everyone's got repressed emotions
deep inside.
That's why I said it.
I mean, yeah, we'll see. We'll try it.
- You're really gonna go.
- Mm-hm.
Okay.
Sweetie.
- Here, I got it.
- Hold the door, jeez. Watch it.
- It wasn't that bad, are you serious?
- Yes, Eko it's truly awful.
- Are you alright?
- Well, yeah.
- That was great. I loved that.
- That was crazy, I nearly died.
My legs are totally gone,
I'm over here walking like a penguin.
I thought it felt refreshing.
I feel a lot better.
- [groans]
- I got rid of all my stress.
Well, I think
they gave me extra stress now.
No way. Lal?
- Uh-oh.
- Oh.
Did she really make time
for us over Aktan?
- [Ekin] Lal?
- How was Pilates?
- Good.
- Hey, sweetie.
- It was pretty normal.
- Hi.
I’ll get back to it soon.
I've really been slacking off.
Eko, guess where I'm going tomorrow.
Therapy.
What?
Why aren't you happy?
It was your suggestion.
Yeah, I am.
That's great.
So what are we drinking?
[moody contemplative music playing]
What's going on with you guys?
Are you really asking us that, Lal?
Say something, Ekin.
Or don't. Yeah, that's fine.
Just sit there in silence
when you should be talking.
Last night you called me crying
for hours talking about everything.
Eko.
What's going on? Why were you crying?
When were you gonna tell us
you and Aktan were back together?
You lied to us, you know?
You said you were with Sinan,
but you actually were with Aktan.
And none of us knew anything about it
until you were in the hospital.
[faintly] Uh
It's embarrassing.
[Meriç scoffs] Hm.
I was just embarrassed,
that’s why I kept it from you guys.
Cuz I knew you didn't want me
to make up with Aktan.
And I know you don't want this
for my own good, but
[breathes deeply]
But I swear to you guys,
this is the last time really--
Honey, no. Just stop it. Come on.
Whatever lie you wanna tell yourself,
that's fine, you go ahead.
But we don't wanna hear it anymore.
Because we put our lives on hold
to take care of you.
But you keep fooling yourself.
It's Aktan, Aktan, Aktan,
like you can't see
what's happening to you, girl.
If you're gonna do it, at least stop lying
to our faces about it.
I'm going crazy. I'm leaving.
If I stay here, I'll say something mean.
- Come on. Where are you going?
- Let me cool off. I'll talk to you later.
Are you gonna leave, too, Ekin?
Oh I'm sorry. Really.
[Ekin sighs]
Do you get it? I was embarrassed.
That's why I couldn't tell anybody.
I'm sorry.
Are you alright?
Yeah.
Are you alright?
No more lies, okay?
No, no, I'm done lying to you.
- I'm through with that.
- No more lying.
You know I normally
would never lie to you, Ekin.
- Okay.
- Meriç.
- You're an idiot, Lal. Stupid idiot.
- How can you just leave like that?
I really feel horrible about this.
I came here
so I could apologize to you guys.
- Okay.
- Come on, let's sit and talk.
- Okay, I'm here.
- Sit down.
Yeah, I know, I got angry,
I was impulsive. But, you know.
- I know, I know.
- Okay, she's never gonna lie to us again.
- No more lies.
- I'm through lying to you.
- No, no, I'm done. Never again.
- Be honest.
- Okay? Okay. Good.
- I'm sorry.
- [Meriç] Mm-hm.
- Let me buy you coffee.
Yeah, of course you're gonna
buy coffee for us, girl.
Yeah, you are!
I'm gonna order the most expensive one.
I can't wait to have you pay
for this one, girl.
She's been working out
on an empty stomach.
I felt bad for Lal.
Someone that you love so much,
it's not easy
watching her go through it,
not being able to do anything for her.
You know?
Cuz she's the one
who's gotta realize everything.
You see? There are certain things
you learn by experience.
[sighs] I wanted to to grab her
and scream, "You're not
the only one who needs therapy."
"He needs therapy as much as anyone.
Aktan should go."
"I mean no relationship is gonna work
if it's just one-sided."
"You're gonna be crushed again, Lal."
"You were warned at work,
you went to the hospital."
"There is something in you
that's telling you,
your body is screaming from inside."
[interviewer] But Lal started going
to therapy. She did take some action.
Hm Yeah she did.
She took action.
You wanna guess what she did?
What?
She went to Hare. To apologize.
What would you study
if it weren't psychology?
[overlapping shouting]
- Don't worry about it. We're good.
- Way to go, Lal. Really good job.
- Alright, time's up, that's it.
- Hold on, okay, whatever.
- The first card is wild.
- Hey!
- Sweetheart, let me get a beer over here.
- Oh, sweetheart, huh?
You think that you can just call her that?
You bastard, get your own beer.
Did I ask her to go to the store?
Would you hand me one of those?
We should have another point.
Oh, let me read this card.
Okay, I'm ready. I'm ready. Here I go.
Alright so, Muzo,
he came up behind me and then he
- pushed me over when we were inside--
- You can't say inside.
- You just said inside. No point.
- [Lal] What was it?
- Hi.
- What was it?
- [Muzo] Hey, Hare.
- Hey everyone
[Eşref] Hey, welcome.
[pop music playing]
Hey, hon, are you sure?
Mm-hm.
From now on, I'm doing things right.
I'm gonna clean up my life.
- Good to see you, Hare.
- And you as well.
So what do you want?
There's beer if you want some.
[Hare] Okay, I'll have a beer.
[footsteps]
Thank you for coming.
- So, go on.
- [contemplative music playing]
I am
I'm going through
something intense with Aktan.
It's the first time
I've experienced this kind of thing.
It's the reason I lost control that night.
I want to apologize to you.
Oh, is that right?
That's right.
I'll admit it, I was really mean to you.
I was acting out of anger,
my heart was broken.
And, obviously,
I don't know you very well.
But you're working with Aktan.
So you'll you'll be in our lives,
and I I wanted to
extend an olive branch to you.
If that's what you want, too.
Of course.
That sounds good.
We should let it go.
- It's a deal?
- It's a deal.
- Hey, babe.
- Mm.
- Did it go okay?
- Mm-hm.
- It is.
- You're good? Good.
We were out here talking. You know
the croissants these idiots have?
- Enough already
- [scoffs]
Don't you think they're awful?
- Okay, okay.
- Not great.
- The butter. What do they use for it?
- They're really not good.
I mean, maybe they're using margarine
or something else that's fake.
[Eşref] Okay, man,
I'll tell them to sort it out.
Isn't that what I was saying?
[intriguing music playing]
[Lal] And right
then is when I felt the pain.
That voice of fear started talking again.
There's something
something bad about this.
I want to trust Aktan.
But something inside me doesn't want to.
Sweetie, your coffee is ready.
Would you like some breakfast, too?
I'm gonna shower, babe.
Okay.
- [groans faintly]
- [bird calling]
Mm.
[door closes]
It's as if my heart
is trying to tell me something.
I can't suppress the voice
even if I wanted to.
[contemplative music playing]
[door closes]
I CLOSE MY EYES, I CAN STILL
FEEL YOUR SWEAT ON ME.
AND I CAN STILL HEAR YOUR VOICE
IN MY EARS I CAN'T BEAR IT!
UNTIL OUR NEXT MEETING.
AT HOME?
YOU?
Sweetheart?
She's so sweet.
Look there's coffee for her boyfriend.
She's got good service.
I'll give her that.
Definitely five stars.
And she deserves a tip, too.
Sweetie.
What's going on?
Uh
Listen to me, honey.
First of all, just calm down.
I was completely devastated at the time.
You had left me,
and I didn't know what to do.
I was destroyed.
I thought I was gonna die.
And I hadn't done anything.
[panting]
Why are you crying?
Let's talk this out.
Sweetheart.
[sighs]
How can I possibly explain this to you?
It just happened all of a sudden, Lal.
I'm sorry, sweetie, okay?
I am. I'm sorry. Can we talk about this?
Hey, calm down.
Honey, what're you doing?
You're freaking me out here.
[tense music swelling]
[music stops]
[panting]
Sweetie, listen to me.
I'm telling you,
it's really not like that.
Lal.
Lal.
When?
What?
- When did it start?
- [dramatic music playing]
Lal, hey. Come on.
I asked, when did it start.
That night.
The night we broke up?
Lal.
The same night we broke up,
you went over there to see her?
Yeah, babe, it sounds really awful
when you put it that way,
but that's not what any of this was.
I mean, you were crying and shit.
I felt horrible, too.
Sweetheart, please.
Please, I was so angry
Lal, hey, listen to me.
Aktan. Let me go!
Look at me. Just listen. Listen.
No, don't you dare leave.
I won't make this mistake again.
Please, I'll never hurt you again.
Baby
My sweet girl.
Do you wanna know
what I was doing that same night?
What'd you do?
I was with somebody, too.
I was so desperate that night
that I found myself at his doorstep.
- Whose?
- Barış'.
Let me go.
I knocked on his door like crazy.
As if I would die if he didn't open it.
But thankfully he did.
And he saw me!
And unlike you
Barış realized
what was going on with me.
He was there for me,
he held me and didn't say a thing.
God damn that fucker! I've heard enough!
Don't worry. I didn't do what you did.
I didn't immediately sleep
with someone like you did,
cuz I'm not like you,
and Barış isn't either!
I swear to you, I'm about to lose my shit!
Do you know what Barış did?
He put me on his lap and held me.
Barış ran his fingers through my hair
for hours while I cried like I was dying.
Shut up! Stop telling me this.
That's enough! Fuck this shit!
You know what I felt
when I was there, Aktan? I felt trust.
I felt trust, Aktan. Something I never
feel when I'm with you.
Fuck off. Fuck off!
Fuck off!
[whimpering]
I'm not done saying what I wanna say!
Shut your mouth. Be quiet!
I don't wanna hear your shit!
Whenever Barış holds me
in his arms, I feel safe.
I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch.
I'm gonna fuck him up.
How is it possible that someone
could give you exactly what you need
- without even saying anything?
- Lal, stop. Fucking shit!
How wonderfully
a person can love another,
- that's what I understood that night!
- Shut up!
Be quiet! That's enough!
Stop it.
I'll kill you. Do you hear me?
You haven't heard the truth yet.
What the fuck is the truth?
What's the truth? You fucked me over!
What the fuck is the truth?
Fuck you. Fuck you.
What I said to Barış that night
when I was sitting on his lap
What I said was
"I wish I hadn't left you, Barış."
"I chose the wrong man."
[moody music playing]
So, now fuck you!
["Yaktım ah bu defteri"
by Nova Norda playing]
DO NOT PARK IN FRON
OF THE GARAGE DOOR!
[panting]
[music becomes faint]
Barış?
You son of a bitch.
How dare you mess with my girlfriend?
How dare you?
- [groaning]
- You fucking motherfucker.
Who the hell you think--
[Aktan grunts]
Motherfucker.
[groans]
[Aktan and Barış groan]
["Yaktım ah bu defteri" continues]
["Yaktım ah bu defteri" ends]
