We'll Be Fine (2026) s01e07 Episode Script

1
[gentle piano music playing]
[Ekin] You know how,
after you make up with your partner,
you get that euphoric feeling?
You go on a weekend get-away.
You choose to forget your problems,
pretend they've vanished.
And whenever you get back
something that you lost earlier,
you often fall for a false sense of hope.
[music stops]
Good morning.
Morning
most beautiful woman alive.
Good morning, sweet love of my life.
What if we did something today?
Like?
Can we spend the day acting like
- Hm?
- [chuckles]
Acting like one
of those lovey-dovey couples?
You've got yourself a deal.
We'll get up, and we'll go out
for a little while, and then
- Hm?
- I'll yell, "That's my man!"
Well, I'll have to yell something too.
- That's my woman!
- [laughs]
- Aktan, what are you doing?
- [chuckles]
She's my girl!
[gentle upbeat music playing]
[Ekin] However, life always
has rules of its own.
For example, we get buried
under everything we ignore,
- and everything we hide.
- [both chuckle]
WE'LL BE FINE
[music fades]
That felt good.
- Oh, yeah. I almost dozed off.
- [Aktan] Mm-hm.
- Oh, sorry.
- Excuse me.
[Aktan groans and sighs]
[ethereal music playing]
[Aktan] Are you happy we're here?
Yeah, I am.
[Aktan] That was nice.
So, when are we gonna start?
When we get back?
Being open.
What?
When are we gonna start
the open relationship?
- [chuckles]
- [contemplative music playing]
- [faintly] Uh
- You're kidding.
You don't really want that.
Aktan, we discussed it.
Don't be ridiculous.
- We had a deal, and you agreed to it.
- [scoffs]
Oh my God.
Is that why you brought me to this spa?
You thought you'd distract me
for a little while,
and I would forget about everything?
What are you saying?
I didn't think
that you were being serious.
- Aktan.
- Hm?
- My one condition for you.
- Hm.
It's why we're back together,
you agreed to it.
[snickers]
I never agreed to some kinda condition.
What are you even trying to say?
That never happened.
What is this?
You kidding?
So first, you go out and cheat,
and then you gaslight me.
You're like a child, I swear to God.
Why're you talking about cheating?
How was that wrong? You and I weren't
even together back then, Lal.
Doesn't make sense to me.
- Jeez. Fuck this shit, I'm leaving!
- What are you
- What's your deal, Aktan?
- You're my deal! What's yours?
This whole open relationship thing
is crazy! What is going on with you?
[scoffs]
God, you drive me insane.
You're seriously acting
like it's the first time I've told you.
You don't get it. You can say it over
and over, it's not happening.
I'm not about to share you with people,
alright? Fuck that! Stop doing this!
Right, but I shared you
with Hare, didn't I?
Lal
I apologized to you. I did everything
I could do. Why are you doing this?
Why can't you just drop it?
You'll keep doing it.
- What're you trying to tell me?
- You'll keep doing this to me.
I know you. I know your patterns.
You know I feel guilty about it.
I said before that I'm
How long will this go on?
Why won't you trust me?
Have you given me a reason to trust you?
I know you're gonna do this again
the moment your ego gets wounded
or whenever you start to feel inadequate--
Know what? Just leave me then!
You drive me insane!
Go!
Stop talking like an idiot and do it!
If you're so tough, do it! Be my guest!
Go ahead! Break up with me!
- Keep your voices down please? Let go.
- Wait sorry, Would you listen to me?
- Stop. Get outta my way. Don't touch me.
- Okay, wait. Just hold on one second.
- I said, stop. Just let me go.
- Please. I lost my cool for a minute.
- I'm sorry about that. Give me a second.
- Get outta my way! Let go of my arm!
Hey, stop! I can't leave you!
What's so hard to understand?
I am so in love with you.
How are you not able to get that?
Well, I love you, too.
- [melancholic music playing]
- [Lal scoffs]
I really don't understand it,
but I still love you somehow.
But unlike you, I can't tell you
to just get out of my life.
I want you to hear me
cuz I love you, Aktan,
and I hate that I do.
I hate loving you.
And I hate myself for loving you.
I can't leave now.
But one day,
I know I'll be strong enough to.
[interviewer] Why was it,
do you think, that Lal insisted
on having an open relationship?
- It was fear.
- [music stops]
She had lost so much control,
and she was aware of it.
She was trying to get back
the control she had.
Of course she was. That's exactly it.
Yeah, she wanted him
to do something for her
that he'd never have wanted
to do otherwise. Hm.
She couldn't control herself,
so she was hoping to control Aktan.
- Is that right?
- [chuckles] I would definitely say that.
She was not the kind of girl who would
ever want something that's open, right?
Think she'd be able to deal with that?
Aktan was definitely the only one she
really wanted, no one else.
[interviewer] And when did Lal
come to the realization
that she didn't actually
want an open relationship?
[Meriç] After it was too late.
[Ekin] Isn't that always the case?
[jazz music playing]
[glasses clink]
[upbeat music playing]
Good evening.
May your love last forever.
If I stayed

I'd give my life for you

I went away, I came back
I don't understand ♪
Without you
Life has no meaning ♪
I'm confused

How come we ended up alone?

- [song ends]
- [everyone applauds]
- [laughs]
- [folksy guitar music playing]
[Lal] Oof.
Yeah, so funny.
[both chuckle]
[sighs]
That was something that
was already set up.
Hm.
How was I supposed to know that
that we were gonna go through that?
That you would bring it up?
Why are we doing this?
Why do you want someone else
instead of me?
Because you did it.
I think it would be fair.
It makes things even for us two.
You wanna punish me for everything?
Okay you're right.
But I apologized to you a million times.
You don't really
wanna do this, do you? Really?
Lal, I won't be able to.
And neither will you. I'll kill someone.
We are all capable of anything, Aktan.
[Aktan sighs]
- I learned that from you, unfortunately.
- I don't want it.
It was me who didn't want it, Aktan.
I was right here. I was yours, 100%
Then you had to go out and ruin it.
You broke everything.
You threw it all away.
Why am I the one
always having to forgive?
Why are you always allowed
to get away with everything, Aktan?
Do you think that's fair?
[Ekin] Lal couldn't get over
being cheated on.
She couldn't forgive Aktan,
but she couldn't leave him either.
[contemplative music playing]
The things she read in those messages,
they kept her up at night.
Aktan had gone to Hare
the very night they broke up.
They were together for a few months.
How would Lal have known?
She even went as far
as to apologize to Hare.
She felt like a complete idiot.
[moans passionately]
Aktan was in bed with Hare,
while Lal was crying at home.
She couldn't get over it.
Something had to happen.
But what?
Fortunately, the universe
didn't wait too long to give an answer.
[people] Surprise! [cheering]
How great is this?
Oh, what is this? [chuckles]
- Kubi, you scared me to death.
- [Kubi] You'll survive.
What are we celebrating, Miss Yelda?
You'll find out soon enough.
Don't you worry, Lal,
but for now champagne, okay?
- [ethereal music playing]
- [man chuckles]
London? Wow!
- [Miss Yelda] Mm-hm.
- [music fades]
Exactly, honey. Start with a small office.
We'll focus on art publications first.
Ah. Wait, look at this.
Give me a second here.
- Wonderful.
- I rented a little spot over in Chelsea.
What do you think?
Oh, I love it. It's beautiful.
Is this a real building?
It's like out of a fairy tale.
It's a small place, honey.
Don't go crazy. I wanna give it
a shot first. We'll play it safe.
- And
- That's great.
I want you to be in charge of it all.
I want you to move to London.
- You want me?
- Mm-hm.
- [chuckles]
- [contemplative music playing]
Uh, well, thank you so much. I um
I'm so surprised, I'm delighted.
I wasn't expecting this at all,
to be honest with you.
Why not, do you think that it's because
lately all you've done is disappoint me?
Yes.
It's true. I have been unfocused.
And it has affected
my performance a little.
That's exactly why I want you to go.
Because I miss the girl
that I used to have.
That cheerful, hard-working visionary,
so full of hopes and dreams
That girl is gone
and someone else has taken her place.
I gave you time and space
so you could pull yourself together.
It didn't help.
How are you and Aktan doing?
Speaking of
Yeah, good.
Well, uh
basically good.
Well, uh, I know it's not my decision,
but I also know I'd feel guilty if I
didn't say something about it to you.
Listen to me. No man
in fact, no person
is worth risking your career,
your goals, your dreams for.
Risking all that for anyone
is truly a mistake.
I'm going to feel so sorry for you
if you turn this offer down for Aktan.
Oh no, I don't intend to, Miss Yelda.
Don't.
I know you're thinking about it.
But if you ask me,
there's no question, you've got to go.
Go. Start your life over.
I'm giving you a golden ticket.
And besides, I don't think there's
any other way for you to get rid of Aktan.
[ship horn blaring]
[Eşref] Actually, Muzo,
every relationship is an open one.
People don't lay claims on each other
when they start a relationship.
It's not like people
write their names on each other.
- [Muzo] Oh, really?
- If someone falls for someone else,
they go, you know?
Here he is!
The modern man, everyone!
With the answers
that civilization's been waiting for!
Ladies and gentleman,
I present to you a cuck!
Why don't you just shut up?
You shut up, dude.
Seriously. What are you saying?
So, you want my guy to just sit here,
waiting on standby,
while Lal goes and gets nectar
from other flowers?
[Eşref] That's not what she wants.
She says "open relationship".
Fine. Like that's a thing
that men don't do.
Don't get me started with all that.
That's it, dude. No more drinks for you.
You're getting cut off right now.
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- Why? You know someone?
- You in a relationship?
- One of your friends?
Come on, man. Just give me
a straight answer, will you, hm?
- No.
- Alright, got it. I can see why.
Yeah, whatever, dude.
Staying with anyone
is a balancing act. It just is.
So Aktan gets to go do whatever he
wants, go party but Lal can't do anything?
- A relationship needs equality. Ah.
- You're going somewhere else with this.
Come on, if you really wanna defend
open relationships,
then why not allow Ekin
to see other guys?
- Oh! What are you even saying?
- How about that?
Go see how it feels. Try it. Then come
preach to us about open relationships.
Listen I wasn't saying
I'm in favor of opening up.
I'm only saying this
cuz she introduced this whole thing.
Besides, if Ekin wants
to have an affair, she'll have one.
Now I don't think that she needs
to do it because we found each other,
- but if she wanted to, she'd do it.
- You're going and going, but you're
- [dialogue fades]
- [lively music playing]
[inhaling] Here we go, girls!
You've been asking
how this gloss looks. I'm gonna show you.
Look at that.
[chuckles faintly]
[intriguing music playing]
Yeah? Is something wrong?
No.
No, everything's okay.
I wanted to see you.
Alright, um I'm gonna finish this,
and then we'll talk in a minute.
That's fine. You finish. I'll wait.
- Mm-hm. Yeah, sure.
- I can wait. Over there.
[exhales]
[music fades]
So, um
When are we gonna make up?
I don't know, you tell me, Lal.
I miss you guys so much.
- Oh, my God, I miss you, sweetie.
- So, why would you guys do this to me?
Uh, well,
you've just been acting so stupid.
- You're right.
- You have been.
- I'm sorry.
- Okay, babe. It's alright.
- Are we good?
- We're good.
I just want you to swear
you won't do it again.
Okay, so we're good,
but what's going on with Aktan, hm?
Oh, don't worry about him right now.
I didn't come here to talk about Aktan.
Hm.
I know I've bored you enough
with him already.
Oh, yeah. You have.
You definitely have.
But I do get it, you know?
- Really?
- Mm-hm.
Yeah, I mean, it's the first time you've
been crazy in love. You made mistakes.
Lots of them,
and you screwed us too, but, it's cool.
- I did. I messed up.
- Yeah, you did.
[Lal] Hm.
[upbeat music playing]
I got a promotion.
Yeah, well, you get one
every other month or so.
To go to London.
Did you say London?
You're really moving to London?
Are you serious?
You got promoted and they're
sending you abroad? That's a big step.
Wait, so we have
to have a long-distance friendship now?
But go. I mean it. We'll come visit you.
We're definitely coming.
Oh, sweetie. I'm happy for you.
You deserve all this, really.
I am so proud of you. I really am.
Now I sound like Eko.
What the hell is happening?
Sweetheart.
You deserve this. Mm-mm.
[cell phone vibrates]
What do you want?
[Aktan] What's this
about an open relationship?
And I don't wanna hear your bullshit.
[Teoman] Oh, an open relationship.
My favorite.
Oh my God, this is such a waste of time.
And why would you put ideas
into my girlfriend's head that way?
Are you crazy? That's not my thing.
Huh? What's that?
You are the man after all, right?
You're the man!
Bastard. [chuckles]
So, it's fine when you do it, but bad
when she does it, is that it?
Son, do you know what percentage
of Turkish men cheat?
I don't know. Why? What would I
keep track of stuff like that for?
Ninety-nine percent, obviously.
Now, that is bullshit.
Well, it's something like that.
What ever happened to honor and loyalty?
Where'd they go? Yet you can't stand it
when women do what you do, right?
I'm done here. I don't even know why
I bothered calling you. I'm gonna go.
Good for Lal.
Instead of cheating on you,
she gave you the heads-up.
I'm done talking about this.
I've gotta go. Goodbye.
Everyone's so fucking chill
about this bullshit.
[Meriç] Oh my God, London! Okay, fine.
Yes, maybe it's a little far.
But still, I don't know, we'll come.
There's gonna be guys there.
We can go out and meet new guys.
Hang out. We're definitely gonna
come visit you. Distance doesn't matter.
And honestly,
it's not even really that far
[melancholic music playing]
Oh, no.
Hey. No, Lal. No, no, no. What is it?
Oh.
I don't wanna go to London, Meriç.
[breathes deeply]
Right now, I just wanna be with Aktan
and I'm hating myself for that.
I've also told him
I want this open relationship,
but I don't want that. I'm so stupid.
I'm such a stupid idiot.
- I can't believe how dumb I am.
- Oh no, girl. Stop it, sweetie.
- I'm sorry.
- You've got nothing to be sorry about.
This is what you do, okay? Tell them no.
You could just, turn down this opportunity
of a lifetime. What's it matter?
Don't be ridiculous, Meriç.
I'm not gonna be the woman who destroys
her life and career for some man.
That's it; I'm done making sacrifices.
It's time that you to sit
and have a talk with your boyfriend.
Tell him about London.
I don't know, try to find
some common ground with him, right?
And this open relationship thing,
you don't have to do it.
Talk to him.
Tell him you don't want to. That's okay.
Do you really think so?
[chuckles faintly]
[Meriç in voiceover] It was only
after the possibility of going to London
and leaving him became real,
that Lal began
to fully realize what she wanted.
She didn't want a promotion
or an open relationship.
Despite everything,
all she wanted was Aktan.
And she chose Aktan, no matter what.
She forgot everything,
open relationships and all.
So, feeling hopeful again
she went to see him.
[chuckles faintly] She had no idea
what was coming her way.
Hello. Sorry, am I interrupting, sweetie?
- Alright, back to it. We'll talk later.
- [man] You got it.
What? Is something wrong?
Not at all.
I wanted to talk with you.
Is it good or bad?
That's something
that we'll decide together.
Fine, we'll talk in my office.
- Okay.
- [woman] Aktan.
- [contemplative music playing]
- [Aktan] Yeah?
[woman] I was thinking
we should get a whiskey sponsor
for tomorrow's birthday event.
- What do you think?
- Okay.
He's the best boss ever!
- Always okay with everything.
- You guys haven't met.
Lal, my girlfriend.
Asli, our new PR person.
Great to meet you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
- Really, I'm sorry for that.
- My apologies.
Just a little rattled lately.
Good to meet you. Lal.
Well, I'll be over here.
[snickers]
- Ah.
- Are you alright?
No.
I wasn't alright, however,
You've brought me back
to reality, thank you.
What is it? Is it Asli?
Of course that's what this is.
She has nothing to do with me.
Muzo hired her, okay?
Mm-hm. I get it. No problem.
What do you get?
What's going on? What do you want?
You want me to hire someone ugly so
you can trust me? Is that what you need?
Things don't work that way,
I'm sorry to tell you.
It's alright, Aktan.
I promise, it's all good.
[sighs] What'd you wanna tell me?
Let's not talk in the office.
I'm gonna go on a date tonight, okay?
I came here to let you know.
I'll see you later.
Fuck you. Come on. Loosen. My god.
- [approaching footsteps]
- [grunts]
Jeez.
What's all that?
- [contemplative music continues]
- What?
- You're wearing that on your date?
- Yes.
What's wrong?
Lal, you know what?
Why don't you leave me? Hm?
How come we're even together
if you wanna put on your fancy clothes,
go impress other dudes,
all that stuff? What're we doing?
Why are you testing me?
Let's just break up already.
- That picture you have of Hare
- Ah, are you kidding? You're serious?
What was she wearing?
Your lucky shirt, right,
the one that I love?
So it's okay when you dress up,
but not when I do?
- That's enough, Lal.
- [both] Ah!
What did you do?! What's happening?!
- I gotta grab it from under here. Come!
- Aktan, I can't! My clothes!
- Why me?! What happened? Oh my god!
- Hold it!
- Ah!
- Wait! Hurry! Turn it off!
- The wrench! Keep turning!
- Hurry and turn the valve, Aktan!
- Turn off the water! Turn the valve!
- Hold on! Wait a second!
- Stop talking and turn off the water!
- Agh!
- [water shuts off]
- [Aktan coughs]
[Aktan chuckles]
Alright, let go, let go. We got it.
The water is turned off.
[gentle melodic music playing]
Look at my clothes! My hair's all wet!
I can't go out like this.
My outfit's ruined!
Good. [chuckles]
Why don't you learn how to fix a sink
before you start talking to me?
- Look at this. I'm soaking wet!
- Serves you right.
- Don't. You're driving me insane.
- What do you want me to say?
You're batshit crazy as it is.
I'm sorry, you are.
[chuckling]
- You think this is funny?
- [continues chuckling]
[Aktan sighs]
You're so pretty.
Dripping wet and all.
You're beautiful.
You moron.
No, you're the moron.
Don't go.
- I've gotta go. Don't wanna be late.
- [music fades]
Where are you going?
I told you, Aktan.
No way. Really?
Yes.
We talked about this.
We said we would try it.
What are you talking about, Lal?
Sweetie. Hey, I'm sorry about that.
I messed up
letting someone come between us.
I never should have let it happen.
I'm sorry.
Stop talking about this.
When will you stop punishing me?
Don't wait up for me.
We're staying out late.
Lal.
[mysterious music playing]
[Ekin] Call it stubbornness.
Call it pride.
Or better yet, call it fear.
They all had Lal in their grasp.
- Until
- [man] Hey.
- Ah. Oh, I'm sorry, sorry about that.
- [jazz music playing]
You look distracted.
Oh, no, um I was thinking about work.
It's okay.
I've never been on a date
with an editor before and I'm excited.
- I can't stop talking.
- [chuckles] You're alright, it's fine.
Who's your favorite Turkish author?
Mm Mahir Ünsal Eriş. Who's yours?
I would say Barış Bıçakçı.
Oh.
You're never gonna believe this,
but I've got Mahir Ünsal's
bookmark in my purse.
Guess it was meant for you.
THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES
[Ekin] And just like that,
she was back to square one.
Lal kept on choosing Aktan,
no matter what.
A single memory was enough
to make her forget everything.
[chuckles faintly]
You know, I am so sorry.
But I've gotta take off.
What's wrong?
I'm really sorry.
[Ekin] The real question was whether
or not Aktan would do the same thing
when it was his turn.
Despite everything, would he choose Lal,
or would he choose himself?
- Aktan?
- [Aktan] Yes.
I forgot!
Nothing was a coincidence.
I forgot what we did, why we did it,
and everything in between.
But one thing I know for sure,
no matter what happens
- Hm?
- ["Kaçışın Yok" by Selin Baycan playing]
What are you doing? Are you going out?
Her name's Deniz. She works in radio.
In case you were wondering.
I'm not coming home. Don't wait up.
[door opens and closes]
Ekin, I really miss you.
Could you call me back
when you have a chance.
Meriko, why don't you come over?
Or we could go out if you want?
How long have you been dating?
AHMET TELIL
I MIGHT COME AGAIN
The day ends, your smile stays with me
Clouds drift like memories
[Aktan chuckles]
What are you reading, cutie?
Hey, no. What're you doing?
- Give me back my book.
- Sweetheart, what is this?
Ah, mm
Poetry. I love this kinda thing.
Mm-hm. I'm sure.
Hold on. I'll read one for you.
Hm?
- You'll remember this forever.
- [chuckles]
- Oh, really?
- I'm telling you right now.
Let's hear it. I would love
to hear you read me a poem.
[Aktan] Hm
"The day ends
Your smile stays with me
Clouds drift like memories.
Our life
is the sum of our breakups
Maybe like an unfinished poem"
[Lal] "Stop looking for hidden meanings
Autumn ends
The water flows
But the wound
your smile opened won't heal
Every night becomes a cliff
An executioner"
"Every night, a new pillage begins
Pain becomes vocal,
The voice turns into a downpour
We'll enter an old September
Every place I take refuge
is named for you
Every street I walk is raided by you
Your smile's now part of my identity"
["Kaçışın Yok" ends]
"Your smile's now
[shudders]
[phone ringing]
Muzo, I've got something
to ask you real quick.
EKIN INTERVIEW
[moody dramatic music playing]
[interviewer] Okay,
We were talking about that day.
Uh
So, if Lal had let it go then,
then I'm sure that it would
well it'd be over then.
[interviewer] And you weren't with her.
[chuckles faintly]
Do you know what it's like to go
through a breakup with a friend?
[interviewer] No, I don't think so.
There's a lot of focus on the heartache
there whenever love ends.
However
[exhales] there's nothing worse
than a friendship ending, you know?
It's like it felt as
if there was a knife through my heart.
My falling out with Lal was like that.
I missed her, I was desperate
to see her, of course. But the thing is
I couldn't go.
[interviewer] What if you had?
What if I'd gone?
I think I would have said
[chuckles faintly]
"Stop it.
Stop all this madness, sweetheart.
Look in the mirror.
You're not this person.
You're not this. You're not."
[pop music playing]
You know, I thought you'd be
a little more talkative.
There are things
I actually do better than talking.
Oh, is that right?
Like what?
It's a little hard to explain.
I'll have to show you.
[woman gasps]
What are you doing?
- [woman gasps]
- Do you feel better now, Aktan?
[clicks teeth] That all you got?
- Aktan, who is she?
- Hey, You need to go.
Get up, we're leaving.
- Get up.
- But why? We're having a good time here.
Aktan, I promise, you do not
want me losing it here. Let's go.
Yeah, well, I've already lost it.
Now you'll get a taste.
I swear to God, I'm gonna go sit
on that guy's lap and kiss him.
Stop acting stupid.
Lal.
So what happened? Huh?
What? What happened?
Didn't you go on your first date?
What's wrong now? Huh?
You made me do it.
Well I was following your lead.
[Aktan] Hey [chuckles]
Yeah, it's all me, isn't it?
I've been fucking making you do things
since we got together, damn it.
None of this is your fault, right?
[contemplative music playing]
- I made you do things.
- What did you do to me?
Do you realize
how you made me look in front of people?
- Oh. [scoffs]
- You were about to go to bed with her.
Fuck! Where's that fucking lighter?
You're still talking about
an open relationship. Open and fucked up.
You ruined this relationship,
and you're still talking shit.
- I ruined this relationship?
- Yeah, you did.
Seriously? Are you insane?
I wasn't the one
who slept with someone else.
God, enough already.
When are you gonna get over it?
When can we be through with this shit?
Get over what, Aktan? Hm?
What do I get over?
The fact you slept with Hare
while I cried at home?
The fact that you called her babe?
How about those selfies in bed?
Or how you told her that you missed her?
I will never get over it.
Just one mistake.
One mistake and you go and blow up
the whole fucking relationship, Lal!
Just one mistake?
You're still saying that.
Oh God, I really am losing it here.
Just one mistake, huh?
- I'm losing my mind.
- What did I ever do to you?
What did I ever do to you that was
so awful that I ruined your life? Tell me.
Huh? Lal, tell me.
I asked you to help me.
I was very clear that I didn't
know how to fucking do this!
I told you I needed you to teach me.
If you were expecting something here,
you need to tell me!
- I stayed quiet for you.
- You stayed quiet for me?
So you wouldn't think
I was being too hard on you.
I was afraid I might scare you away.
I thought, this guy never received love
as a child, and so I kept quiet.
I didn't tell you what I needed
or what I was going through.
[chuckling] You're a joke.
You really are. How the fuck
was I supposed to know that?
How was I supposed to know every time
you were staying quiet, standing strong,
all for my benefit?
How was I supposed to know that, Lal?
[dramatic music playing]
Are you a child?
Do I really have to tell you everything?
Am I supposed to cry in front of you?
Figure it out, Aktan!
Just how old are you, really?
Even if you can't figure it out,
at least try to!
I am not your mentor,
I'm your girlfriend, do you understand me?
But it's easier for you to say
"I love you so much, Lal, I love you!"
So where is this love then?
I still haven't seen it!
Doesn't it cross your mind that I need
you too? Does that ever occur to you?
No, it doesn't fucking occur to me!
It never does!
And how would it? Have you ever told me?
Have you ever brought it up to me?
Huh?
Have you ever thought of opening up, Lal?
Talking to me like a person!
You've always acted
like you're better than me and shit!
You're always the stronger one!
It's true! You're the fucking strong one
in this fucking relationship!
Nothing ever happens to you!
Cuz I'm always the one!
Fuck this cigarette.
God, this is so unfair.
Just because I'm able
to bear the pain, Aktan,
doesn't mean that I don't feel all of it.
Things affect me, too.
A lot of things, in fact.
[cigarette hisses]
Come over here for a second.
I'm tired of this. Just stop talking
about it. I've had enough, Lal.
Aktan, come over here.
I said I'm done,
you're driving me crazy. That's enough.
- I told you to come here!
- [music intensifies]
- Now come here! Get up!
- What're you doing?
[sobbing] Come here!
Look at me!
I want you to look at me, Aktan!
I want you to think of how I looked
when we met, and look at me now.
[moody music playing]
I start fights in bars.
I have lost all my friends.
I was almost fired from my job.
And now I'm taking antidepressants
for the first time ever!
Because I'm human, Aktan.
Just because I don't cry in front of you,
and even though I get up
whenever I get knocked down,
it doesn't mean that I don't hurt.
Do you think it's easy for me?
Well, it's not easy. It's very hard.
And I'm so tired of always thinking about
what I need to do so that you don't leave.
I feel, too. I want somebody to think
about what I need for once.
[chuckles]
[Aktan groans]
- [grunts]
- [gasps]
Aktan! Aktan, stop!
You're gonna cut your hand!
[sobbing]
No.
[sniffles]
It's not working.
I can't do this.
[sniffles]
I love you so much that I lose myself.
I hate myself.
I can't do it anymore.
I can't make you feel good.
I make you unhappy.
What
So what are you saying? Huh?
Forgive me. [sniffles]
Sorry.
[door opens and closes]
[sobbing]
[moody music continues]
Hey, what the fuck are you looking at?
[tense music playing]
[man] I'm not looking at you, bro.
Who the hell are you?
[man] I wasn't looking at you, man.
- I said, I wasn't looking at you.
- What's your deal, asshole?
Shut up! Quiet!
- I was just sitting. Didn't do anything.
- I told you to shut up. Shut the fuck up.
Let's go. Don't be a bitch.
- What did I do?
- Shh!
Listen.
Just be a fucking man.
You cocksucker.
Look at me.
Look at me.
- [both grunt]
- [contemplative music playing]
[Aktan grunts]
[man] Motherfucker!
[groans]
[Lal] I told you from the beginning.
Some love affairs
are more than love.
Some of them
are deadly.
[contemplative music continues]
