against their arch rivals in ten years.
Let's see if they can win this time.
All eyes are on the Karşıyaka team

An attempt for a three pointer

KARŞIYAKA SPORTS CLUB
Hey, coach! Coach! We're all
going to Tarık's tomorrow to celebrate.
Celebrate what?
We won the game?
We beat them
for the first time in ten years?
Okay, sounds good. I'll be there.
Okay, coach. See you.
[lights clicking off]
All right, Mom.
Yeah, I'm fine.
There's nothing to worry about.
I called you, didn't I!
Good God!
I'll come back.
Yeah, I'll come back. Of course.
I don't know, Mom, okay?
I'll come back tomorrow.
All right, all right, I heard you.
I'm leaving right now,
I'm leaving right now.
Mom
[phone receiver clatters]
What happened?
She hung up on me.
We need to go back, huh?
Or we're fucked.
There's a great place nearby.
We'll go there first.
- Then go back.
- Sounds good.
- Hmm?
- Let's do it.
Yeah.
[engine starts]
- Do you like it?
- I love it.
I wish we didn't have to go back.
- Cheers.
- To forever.
Are you really going to marry that guy?
Hey, Kerem
What do you think?
Do you think I should marry him?
- It's your choice.
- Oh, come on now!
Can you please just tell me
what you're thinking, Kerem.
What if I just kill the guy?
Take him out for good, once and for all.
There won't be a problem after that.
Sure, that's a great idea.
Eda
Hmm?
What?
Why don't we get married?
You're about to turn 18.
We won't be minors anymore.
Let's get married
so no one can tell us what to do.
And then what? What do we do for money?
We'll find a way.
I spent my summer carrying deck chairs.
I can do that again. I'll take care of us.
If that doesn't work,
Osman will definitely find me something.
You could go to school.
Come on, let's get married. Marry me.
You know what?
Let's get married
so no one can tell us what to do!
We can do anything we want.
What are you doing?
Just a minute.
One minute.
- Kerem, come on, what are you doing?
- Just a minute, hold on. Almost done.
[giggles]
Are you serious?
["Walk With Me" by Eleni Era playing]
Why don't you walk with me again? ♪
[Kerem] Eda Karacaoğlu
will you marry me?
[Eda gasps]
Yes!
Yes, of course I will!
We could try it differently this time ♪
We could just forget
What's yours and what's mine ♪
Leave all our troubles ♪
I'll marry you.
We could try it differently this time ♪
- We're getting married!
- Whoo!
[Eda whoops]
[Kerem laughs]
Leave all our troubles
Leave all our troubles ♪
- We're getting married!
- Yeah!
DANGER
DO NOT ENTER
[knocking on door]
All right. Here I am.
Why don't we get this party started?
Kerem.
[rock music playing]
[chuckles]
Come on then.
CONCERT RECORDING 1-A
[The Four Seasons, Op. 8 No. 2
Summer: Presto" playing]
[plays louder]
[clinks]
Elif! Come down.
Okay, I'll be right there.
I got you a little something.
[piano on stereo plays in distance]
Why are you always
buying things for me?
You're so generous.
It's beautiful.
Thank you so much.
I just love giving you things.
It's not getting,
but giving that makes me happy.
You're the one that makes me happy.
This weekend felt so long.
I missed you so much.
[music continues]
- Does it look good?
- Mm-hmm.
What is it?
I'm trying to calm down my breathing.
[both laugh]
It feels so nice to stay like this.
- I think I'm going to kiss you.
- Do it.
[music stops]
[music resumes]
- I want to take you somewhere.
- Where?
[Osman] Do you know the Camondo Stairs?
[Elif] I don't.
- But I guess I don't know much anyway.
- Elif!
I grew up in my own bubble.
- I'll teach you whatever you want.
- Right.
You're an expert on life.
- You're the king.
- [chuckles]
I'm going to die of admiration.
Come on, that's not true.
Why don't you carry me in your pocket?
Put me right in there so
I can be around you all day.
You talk to people, handle things,
you deal with your business and so on
I'd watch you do those things all day.
I'd spend my whole day in there,
in your pocket
I wouldn't be able to get anything done.
I'd be overwhelmed.
[music continues]
Elif!
[school bell ringing]
[Seda] I'm so stupid!
[girl ]Don't be so hard on yourself, Seda.
I got all the answers wrong! I'm an idiot!
You'll get it right in the real thing.
[Seda] What am I going to tell my parents?
They have really high hopes for me.
[boy] Man, we're screwed.
I didn't even start sociology yet.
[girl 2] I wish this was over.
[boy 2] I usually get all answers wrong,
what if this happens in the real exam?
- I solved 500 equations. I need more.
- Five hundred?
How can you go into the exam with
[boy 3] I'm really good at science
but what if I panic during the exam?
[boy 4] Let's not think about that.
[trolley bell dings]
Sir, where are our pides?
They cut them off, just like that.
God give me patience.
- How the hell did I get into this mess?
- Sir!
Sir.
- Yes, dear?
- That's not like you at all.
Shit.
To hell with the pides!
"Where are our pides?
Where are our pides?"
It's as if they've
never seen a pides before!
I'm drooling.
Me too. Come on, let's order.
We'll have three pickle juices please.
Make mine spicy.
[Eda] Oh yeah, make them all spicy.
Do you want pickles as well?
Sure. Add pickles and spice.
Add a lot. Make it hot.
You'll eat the store if I let you.
- I'd eat you.
- Okay.
Here.
Osman, what's wrong with you?
It's nothing.
It's obviously something.
You've been sulking all morning. Tell us.
What is it? Hey there!
- The school is out of control.
- Another one!
Yeah. We cut off the treats.
The parents are up in arms about it.
There's that too.
But there's something else.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
So, Necdet's new system is
creating serious problems for everyone.
People are losing their minds.
Of course they are. He fucked
everyone over with the exam stress.
You wouldn't believe what I've heard.
Some teachers are telling the students
to piss their pants if they need
to use the bathroom during the exam.
- It's insane.
- Holy water all over your snacks.
I heard some people saying
they'll wear diapers during the exam!
"The most important
three hours of your life."
Fuck that life and fuck those three hours.
It's an insult to dignity.
Besides, isn't that shitty?
Determining the course
of your life in just three hours?
"Pick your career."
There, I just did. A saltshaker.
- [Kerem laughs]
I get it.
I'm making the decision of my life.
- I want to be a saltshaker.
- You guys are idiots.
Make fun of it all you want,
but people actually believe this stuff.
They literally make life long decisions.
And for what?
To get praised by their parents
for getting into a high-ranking school?
Then they do that job
the rest of their lives.
Why? Because it was the only thing
they were any good at school.
That's bullshit.
Işık has it figured out,
but she needs to come back first.
So, we should concentrate.
Fair enough.
Let's get to it.
We have a goal to achieve after all.
- You're right. Let's do this then.
- Let's do it!
[whistle blows]
[whistle blows]
[whistle blows]
[Kemal]Come on!
[blows]
Well done, guys, that was great.
Well done, captain.
Now, get some rest.
- Coach Altuna, is practice already over?
- It was just a quick one for recovery.
I think that's enough after the last game.
Okay. Your call.
We talked it through.
We'll get rid of Nihat, I guess.
I found somewhere else for him.
I don't really want to get rid of Nihat.
He's going to make it.
We just need to be patient.
Oh, come on, Kemal. He's been a
waste of time for the past three years.
Just look at the numbers.
[Burcu] Yeah, but is it all
about what's in the file?
[Kemal] That's just their actions.
Are numbers really everything?
I know it's all about their actions.
And it is our actions that define us,
but there's something else too.
Potential. What someone has to offer.
Things you begin to understand
by getting to know someone.
What's up with you?
Are you okay?
See you later.
[huffs]
[doorbell rings]
Who is that?
Tuncay?
Burcu, how you been?
I know it's out of the blue but
- Come in.
- Thanks.
So, we got married and settled down.
Decided to visit Istanbul for a bit.
I thought I'd pay you a visit,
see what you were doing.
We're from the same hometown, after all.
Burcu, tell me what you're up to?
Okay, Tuncay.
Not a lot, as you can see.
I'm living my miserable life.
- Congratulations, by the way.
- Thanks.
Everyone should experience this.
- If you want that.
- I'm sorry?
Uh, I meant those
that want it should do it.
I mean, what woman
wouldn't want to have kids?
Well, I mean, there's some women
Never mind. You're right.
You'll get there eventually. Don't worry.
I really mean this
from the bottom of my heart.
I hope you find someone very soon,
get married and have kids of your own.
Me too, Tuncay.
You know, I pray every night.
I say " God, please let me end up
with some loser and pop out his babies.”
I don't even have to like him,
or love him or find him attractive.
As a woman who doesn't work,
who has no goals in life,
who has no need to be
respected or even treated well at all,
I only want to serve my husband
and my kids for the rest of my life.
I only want to worry about
what to cook that day, for instance.
[giggles]
- Are you joking?
- No!
Then I can fight with other moms.
"Are you lactating?
How long did you breastfeed for?"
"How much does your kid weigh?"
Stuff like that.
"Which one of us takes
better care of our husband?"
"How much do our husbands make?"
But I won't think about
whether I love that man or not,
whether I'm in love with him or not,
I'll just waste my entire life without
searching for any meaning.
Come. Let's go, Zehra.
Get up. Come on, Zehra. Off you go.
Go. Obey your husband's order.
Come on. Off you go.
Please leave.
What are you waiting for? Get out. Out.
[sighs]
I made a mess of everything.
[Burcu] You're only responsible
for what we went over in class. Okay?
- Thank you. See you later.
- Don't worry. See you tomorrow.
Oh. What happened to you?
Where did you get that rash?
I got it checked out, Miss.
It's nothing important.
The stress of the exam gave me eczema.
Oh, my God
All right, you have an exam.
But life still goes on.
Why are you doing this to yourselves?
Look. It really
isn't that big of a deal.
Nothing is more important than you.
Trust me on that.
But Miss
How much do you get paid as a teacher?
[piano note plays steadily]
I see.
All right.
Osman!
The fish sandwich
business is really booming.
The Italian high school wants them too.
I'll handle it.
Then we have the American and French
high schools if we reach out to them.
We only need
to contact a couple of people.
This is going to be big. I can feel it.
I'll talk to the other nerds.
We have some ideas.
If the sandwich business
here is successful, that means
[note plays]
[sniffles]
Elif dear, why aren't you practicing?
Your dad was able to
get special permission for you.
You don't have to go to school anymore.
At least not this week.
We'll practice hard.
It'll give you time to catch
up until your recital on the 8th.
Mom, you know I didn't do anything wrong.
I just took a break, that's all.
But this isn't the time to take a break.
It's just not the right time.
People from all over the world
will come to hear you play.
This recital is very important
and you weren't practicing!
I can't believe it.
Go on. Your dad will
listen to it this evening.
[plays random notes]
Elif!
[plays "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2"]
[sniffles]
PRAGUE
PRINCIPAL
NECDET KARAKIŞ
- [knocking on door]
- Come in.
- Yes, sir?
- Come in.
You asked for me.
Well, first of all,
thank you for finally deeming me worthy
of the vice principal position
Okay. Congratulations.
We have serious issues at the moment.
The parents are furious.
I get meeting requests every day.
Let's sort out this pide issue.
But, sir, I'm sorry. The school
doesn't have that kind of a budget.
It doesn't matter. Make it work, okay?
What if we delayed
staff salaries for a few months?
What's the worst that could happen?
So what if they get paid a little late?
But, uh that's wrong, isn't it?
Come on, Suzan! That's enough.
I made you vice principal.
All I hear you say is “But, but, but,”
every single time I ask you for something.
But, sir, of course not.
So then make the arrangements.
We need to give out
bananas, apples, pides,
or whatever it is that these kids want.
You will be the one
to tell the staff that it's temporary.
We'll take care of it, okay?
Okay, very well, sir.
- Good.
- Uh
There's just one more thing, you know.
Is it possible to get a
signature from you indicating that
this is all your decision?
Because, sir,
I wouldn't want to end up like Mr. Refik.
All right, okay, Miss. Out now.
- Okay.
- I'll sign the damn thing.
All right, sir.
Dear God.
Ah!
Damn it!
To hell with this.
What in the
Ramo!
["Ah Canım Vah Canım"
by Ah Canım Ahmet playing]
Whoo!
Hey, look everyone! Watch me fly!
[all whooping]
- Hello.
- I'll be right there.
What's up, Coach?
Is that alcohol?
It's orange juice.
Good then.
Meanwhile, you're drinking the hard stuff.
There's clearly something wrong.
Well, there's this girl.
A woman.
There's just something about her.
She rewrites all the rules herself.
It's like she holds
the world in the palm of her hands.
She's an extraordinary woman.
And you miss her, is that it?
[doorbell rings]
- [Eda] What's up?
- Nothing.
[gasps]
- Kerem and I have decided to get married!
- That's so great!
I think we deserve to open
a good bottle of wine for this one.
Of course, my lady. Do come in.
[Kemal] She sees everything
from a different perspective.
This place for instance
She would look at it
and see something else.
[Eda] I can be a graphic designer
and I can do whatever I want.
And I know Kerem
is going to be right there with me.
It's great. He's going to save me.
"Save" you?
What does that mean Eda? Who's saving you?
Well, Kerem is.
Marrying Kerem, I mean.
Why are you shaking your head?
Aren't you happy for us?
Yeah, I am, but come on
I mean it is great because you love
Kerem and want to be married to him.
But "saving you"? No.
I don't like that idea, Eda.
So, what you're saying is that
no one can save me but myself?
Of course. Who else is going to save you?
Anyway, what have you been up to?
I heard that Kemal left.
Yeah, he did.
I'm really sorry.
[Kemal] She's not like you and I.
She's in a battle with herself.
She wants to be righteous.
What else?
What do you mean?
What else did you leave behind?
It sounds like you left
a whole world behind you.
A whole other world for sure.
I did leave other things behind, yes.
[Paris whimpers]
Paris?
What's this?
Huh? What's wrong?
[Paris whines softly]
Cancer maybe?
We'll see.
What?
It could be because of his age.
Paris is very old.
So now what?
These tumors are very aggressive.
Soon, his quality of life
will diminish very quickly.
And then, to help him we'll have to
We'll put him to sleep.
Are you talking about ending his life?
Unfortunately.
[Paris whines]
DISCO NIGHT CRUNCHY CHIPS
[mother] Where's the side dish?
I'll bring it, Mom. Relax.
Eda, get it together, will you?
Mom, that's enough. Chill out, okay?
I told you already, it's fine.
Sit down and I'll bring it.
Can you stop with the attitude?
Oh please, I swear you're
going to give me a heart attack one day.
I can feel it.
My blood pressure is up to 200.
A daughter who runs away from home.
Give me that.
Go.
You humiliated us
in front of the neighbors, everyone.
Look, Mom, I know you're mad at me,
but can we just let it go already?
Besides, I have something important
I want to talk to you about.
All right, Mom. I'm just
gonna tell you straight up.
I don't want to marry Emre, okay?
I'm not going to America, either.
What are you going to do then?
What's your plan? Tell me.
I'm going to marry Kerem.
Kerem?
Kerem wants it too.
We talked it through. Kerem and I
are getting married. That's that.
You mean, Kerem Öz?
Are you talking about Kenan Öz's son?
I have no idea what his father's name is.
But Kerem. That's the only one.
Now, wait.
Wait a minute. Hold on a second.
You're saying his father wants it too,
did I hear right?
I don't know. I mean his dad
doesn't really meddle in his life.
- I guess he's fine with it.
- Oh, my God!
Isn't it amazing how things that
look bad at first can turn out so well!
Oh, thank God!
So when you ran away rejecting Emre,
you were actually with Kerem Öz?
[laughs joyfully]
His father's already put
him in charge of their business.
Last summer he was in
charge of their hotel in Antalya.
- Who? Kerem?
- Uh-huh.
No, that's not what happened.
Kerem was just setting up the deck chairs.
It doesn't matter.
They should ask for our blessing.
Eda, this is great news.
You finally managed to save yourself!
I'm so proud of you. So proud.
Eda, your father and I were so scared
you weren't going to be able
to live up to your full potential.
My darling. Yusuf, come quick!
[Işık] Yeah. The stress is the worst.
A girl had shingles last year.
[Osman]
The nerds have started to scratch too.
- [Kerem] What's shingles?
- [Işık] Oh, uh, it's a skin disease.
Red patches appear on your skin
and you get itches real nasty.
Welcome.
[Eda] Hey, Huh?
Don't mind me. Keep talking.
[Işık] We need to face
the reality of the exam,
because that's the way the system works.
We have to go with it.
Even if we don't want to.
[beer can pops open]
So, what are we going to do?
Study day and night like dogs?
Let's say we got in, then what?
You wouldn't understand, honey.
People are trying to
save their asses here.
Not everyone's
father is filthy rich like yours.
I'm sorry?
You think I don't study
because of my father?
I don't know.
Maybe that's why.
After all, you always land on your feet.
You romanticize yourself as a black sheep.
Setting up deck chairs for
minimum wage during the summer
but we all know you own the place.
[Işık] Eda, that's not
who Kerem is at all.
[Eda] Either way, what difference
does that make? Isn't it the truth?
Won't he eventually
inherit his family's fortune?
Why are we even talking about this?
In a few years from now,
when he's at parties in a suit,
he'll go “I was a punk in high school”
“I worked at this job,
I worked at that job”
I don't understand. Is it wrong
for him to have financial advantages?
Well, it's wrong for him
to act like we're the same!
Osman, guess what?
Him saying “Fuck the exam”
and us saying it is not the same.
Pretending that we're
the same just seems idiotic to me.
Eda, you're being completely
ridiculous and also very hurtful.
I'm not being ridiculous or hurtful!
- I'm just telling the truth.
- Fuck! Enough!
I've never been my father's son.
I don't want his money.
But you're going to.
Believe me.
The road will eventually lead you there.
We'll see you, an eligible bachelor,
strolling around town carefree.
I made up my mind.
You know what I'm going to do?
I'll study for the exam
like my life depends on it!
That's the only way I'll be
taken seriously around here.
I will get the best score on this exam
and I won't let anyone else
control my life anymore.
Or let them believe
that I need to be saved.
I'm going to score so high
no one is going to be able to say,
"You're so pretty. You'll find
a rich husband to save your life, Eda."
And you better believe
I'm never getting married.
Fuck!
Eda, of course you should study,
but you're not making any sense right now.
Leave it.
She can do what she wants.
I'll count you out then okay?
In this matter, I mean.
It looks like you'll be very busy.
There's not much time left until the exam.
This matter concerns all of us.
I'm still in it with the Necdet thing,
but I'm out with everything else.
I'm out of here.
[rock music playing]
Anyway the great
criminal lawyer, Kerem Öz.
Come on. Tell us about your new life.
There's not really that much to it.
I just have a bunch of cases.
- A bunch of cases, huh?
- I'm out of beer. I'll go get one inside.
It looks like we're out of wine, too.
You know where the fridge is, don't you?
[laughs]
Of course, I remember.
[beer can pops open]
How are you?
You?
I'm all right. Happy to see you.
You're just like you used to be.
A graphic designer in New York. Very cool.
Is it, though?
Now tell me.
Are you here because you
wanted to see me or because Işık called?
You tell me.
- Why are you here?
- For both reasons.
I'm here to face up to
how stupid I was back then.
- You're crazy.
- You're the crazy one.
- You still beat people up?
- Every day.
Jujitsu, Krav Maga
Now people beg me to beat them up.
[laughing]
Eda.
[Sinan] Come here boy.
Let's see if that lump's got any bigger.
Paris.
Did I make you sick? Huh?
Did you get sick
because of this place, boy?
[Paris whines]
You're going to be okay.
Nothing is going to happen to you.
You hear me?
Nothing is going to happen.
[sniffles]
[Paris whimpers]]
[sobs]
[sighs]
[telephone rings]
This late?
Hello?
[Burcu] Hello? It must be a wrong number.
- Burcu, it's me.
- Kemal?
How are you?
Okay.
I'm okay. How are you doing?
Is everything all right?
- Eh.
- "Eh?" What does that mean?
Is there something wrong?
Do you want to talk about it?
I do.
- I only want to talk to you.
- Okay, tell me. I'm listening.
Uh, by the way, it's normal to
have adjustment issues at first.
I mean things may not be perfect
right away. Maybe you lost a few games,
but it's okay.
It really is okay, you know?
You can't give up that easily.
I miss you so much.
Me too.
I miss you too.
I keep thinking about how
I made a mess of everything.
I admit that it was all my fault.
I'm not saying these
things to confuse you.
I don't have the right, I know.
I just wanted you to know that.
Is it okay if I call you
every now and then?
Can we at least talk on the phone?
Of course. Of course.
That would be great, yeah.
That way we can at least
stay in each other's lives. Right?
So, what do you want to talk about now?
You can tell me about your life there.
Well, this place is different.
It's the professional league.
- Everything is so much more intense.
- Of course. I mean
They're grown men and
everything is professional.
There's big money involved out there.
That must be exciting?
Don't even ask.
Everyone here is absolutely ruthless.
Everything is only about winning.
["Une Belle Histoire"
by Michel Fugain & Le Big Bazar playing]
