Original subtitles

It's not about money. It's about being a true gentleman.

But if I don't charge,

things will get messy and hearts will be broken.

Because there's no other way

you can be everything to someone

and remain nothing in their eyes.

Have you ever cured a woman by kissing her where it hurts the most?

Forgive me.

The ex who left them.

The one who entertains them.

The dangerous stranger.

I'll be whoever they want me to be.

At the end of the day, they all need the same thing.

To feel no shame.

Not in the shadows…

or in the light.

Hey. Someone could come.

I want it to be you.

A TRUE GENTLEMAN

This is what happens when you let everyone in.

I'm not yelling.

Please stop. You're disturbing our clients.

So, am I not your client?

What did I even do to you?

What more could you have done? You have some nerve.

- If I did something, I'd just say so... - Hey, Kadir.

Miss.

Excuse him. Mind telling me what the problem is?

He approached me and made suggestive comments.

- Tried giving me his card. - Suggestive comments?

I straight up said you could call me if you felt the chemistry.

No shame in that.

Please apologize to her, Kadir.

- I'm sorry. - I don't want an apology.

An apology can't fix this.

You were totally checking me out, lady!

- I need security at reception. - Sure. Call security, you asshole.

Gentlemen, please.

- Not in front of the lady. - You let anyone in.

Shut it, please.

I'm on it, ma'am.

I apologize on his behalf.

Can we talk?

I'm sure you'd get it if you knew what he's going through.

You seem to be a mature, understanding woman.

What is it?

His fiancée just left him.

I'm trying to keep an eye on him.

I made him sign up for the gym.

He's terribly depressed.

He gets weirdly upset when he sees a beautiful woman.

- Hakan, please escort this gentleman... - Hang on.

You two are friends, right?

Yeah.

I'm really sorry we had to meet like this.

I'm Saygın.

They're supposed to approach you.

- That's the rule, remember? - Yeah, right.

So they're allowed, but when I do it, I'm a caveman.

What's the matter with you, Kado?

Why can't you just work out and leave?

Oh, fuck off.

You have it easy, man. Your schedule is full.

It's not what it used to be. I'm older now.

I have no clients.

I bust my butt to bulk up, but look at me.

Damn it.

- Hey, Kado. - Yeah?

Hurry up. We're getting you a tux.

- A tux? - Yeah.

- But why? - Just hurry up.

Happy New Year, everyone!

The band is absolutely amazing.

Mr. Cenk, over here!

Wipe your mouth. She's coming.

That's Ms. Emel. Fashion designer. She has a boutique in Nişantaşı.

Very old-fashioned.

A fan of missionary, huh? On it.

- Hey, Ms. Emel... - Hush.

She didn't hear me.

- The one in red. - Okay.

- Aylin. - Aylin…

Recently divorced.

She's hurt.

- So a lot of plastic surgery. - Didn't work.

No?

Her nose looks fucking awful.

- What? So nasty. - Scumbag.

This is why you're unsuccessful.

This is why they don't call you again, Kado.

The hell it is.

No one can ever match my performance.

Women aren't looking for breeding stock. They have other needs too.

They do? Oh, please enlighten me.

You have to make them feel special and precious.

As far as I can see, no one around them is doing that.

That's where we come in.

Oh, I make them feel a lot of things when I "come in."

I make them feel so many things.

- This isn't working. Let's just go. - No, man. Wait.

Come on. Don't get all riled up.

It's just daunting. They're so fancy.

- Just be nice. - All right.

- Okay. - Come on.

Pick one.

- Oya. Orange purse. - Details?

Married a rich Frenchman once.

As you can see, she's now enjoying the alimony.

I'll just go say, "Girl, how much did you get?"

- Talk sports. - Okay.

- She runs every day. - Okay.

Tell her she looks so stunning tonight that you just had to meet her.

The student has become the master, huh? I'm so proud.

- Stop it. - Easy, man. It's okay.

- Come on. - I'm going in, then.

See you.

- Be a true gentleman. - You bet.

Hello.

Planning to spend another year looking fine as hell, Miss Oya?

- You're so sweet, Mr. Arif. - You're very sweet yourself.

Who's that with your husband, Serap?

Hi.

Wear this and nothing else tomorrow.

As you wish.

Appreciate it.

I'm so sorry!

- Are you okay? - I think you just saved my life.

Bummer. It's broken.

I'll take that.

You can lean on me.

They're a size too big for me, but they were a New Year's gift, so…

You go ahead. I'm sorry.

You know, I could accompany you.

- I'll figure something out. - All right.

- Happy New Year. - You too.

You're great!

Thank you so much. We'll be back after a short break.

Why did you stop?

I forgot the rest.

- I see you figured it out. - Kind of.

- I think I know the song. - Go ahead.

I may have spoken too soon. Let's see.

Oh, my beloved

How is life going in the gardens?

Are you soaring in the sky

With the colorful butterflies?

Are there rivers there?

Rivers that flow below us?

Oh, my beloved

I've been missing you

Oh, my beloved

Should be something like that.

Thank you.

Not everyone knows it.

We must be the happy few that do.

Excuse me.

Don't tell me you like it.

All those birds die just because people want to celebrate.

It's pollution. It's cruel.

And yet you like it?

I used to like it.

I'll leave you to your firecrackers.

"Someone must be happy," we'd say. It made us feel good.

Maybe someone won a lot of money.

Enough to cover their sick kid's hospital bills.

Maybe some 86-year-old was reunited with their first love.

You know, those kinds of dreams.

When dreams are that nice, one can't really hate fireworks anymore.

Thank you.

So is there something out there that other people love but you hate?

Smoking.

Overcooked pasta.

Snacks and the littering they cause.

How can anyone hate snacks?

The word "hate" calls for something more serious.

People covering my favorite songs. I seriously hate that.

Why's that?

They never do them justice.

But just now, you…

- Yeah? - You were pretty good.

Thanks for the compliment.

Even though I might've butchered the song a bit.

It's not like I'll be on the stage.

The broken heel could be a good excuse. You were there as witness.

- I was there for the first one. - Right. The first one.

Sorry, were you supposed to perform?

She was adamant.

People would film me. I'd go viral on social media and stuff.

As if anyone was eager to see me.

I don't know about people, but I would've liked to listen.

- Yeah? - The top right room. I'm there.

All right.

I'm sorry. I have to meet my friend. Will you be here later?

No, I was about to join my friend myself. That was meant for her.

- So… - Here you go.

- No, enjoy it. - I haven't tried it yet.

See you around.

Meet here in half an hour?

But my friend…

Sure. Let's meet here in half an hour.

- See you. - See you.

- What are you doing? - I figured I'd give you your gift now.

- Have you been drinking a lot? - Why haven't you been? Come on.

Come here.

Kiss me now.

What's wrong?

Why won't you kiss me?

Your husband's here.

My husband?

Oh, he's very busy.

Busy dancing.

Happy New Year.

Return it if you don't like it.

Tell me. What happened?

What always happens.

The guy with perpetual back pain became a tango aficionado when he saw her.

I have half a mind to go slap him in front of everyone.

Isn't divorce a better option?

Fulya wouldn't be able to handle it.

Is it really Fulya, or…

Can you do me a favor?

Be with me only.

I can take good care of you.

- Didn't see you on the stage. - My heel broke on my way there.

I can't go on like this. That'd be embarrassing.

She'll be livid. She pulled strings to arrange this.

I didn't do it on purpose. You'll help me get out of it.

You can't say no to her face, so you run away and make things worse.

Just tell her no like I did.

Easier said than done. You know your mother.

Whatever.

I'm glad you bailed. My lenses are all dried out anyway.

If you're not doing it, let's go.

I was only here for you.

Wait. Let's hang out and have some fun.

- Have fun doing what? - Let's just stay a bit longer.

Don't you think a guy like you deserves a better life than this?

Is the money really worth it?

Believe me, you won't need whatever pocket change you get from them.

It's not like that.

What is it like, then? Are you doing it pro bono?

Who'd want this, for God's sake?

Is this really the path you want to take?

Must be very hard to stomach in any case.

How about I order you some coffee and we forget about this conversation?

I'm sorry.

Saygın. Saygın, please.

Please. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why is it so hard?

Why is it so hard for you to commit to a woman?

Maybe it's only hard because it's me.

Please be honest.

Am I too boring?

Am I too old?

Tell me. What's the deal-breaker?

You…

You're flawless.

Flawless.

Let me tell him so he doesn't keep waiting.

Come on, Nehir. You're too easily impressed.

- He's a Flört-head, though. - Good for him.

I'm talking about Flört, the band.

- I kept yapping, but he didn't back away. - I don't doubt it.

Just go. I'll catch up.

I want everything to work out well for you.

You'll have whatever house you want, drive whatever car you like.

I won't intervene.

I only ask that you don't see anyone else.

Also, it's bad manners to refuse a gift.

Dude! Is your dick made of gold or something?

Easy. Why didn't you call ahead? Serap's coming.

Housewarming gift.

Kado…

Dude, how did you get this place? Huh?

- It's unbelievable. - Don't start, Kado.

So…

Where's my room?

- I'm just kidding. - Over there.

For real?

Go ahead.

Am I going to live here too?

- And Doggy? - Of course.

As long as you leave when Serap's over.

- You're not going to cry, are you? - Oh, fuck off.

I'm having a pride-gasm.

Piss off.

Don't let it make you complacent, though.

Make your dreams come true.

Take a few photos of me.

- I'll update my profile. - Come on, man.

It's not like I see a Jacuzzi every day.

- Give it here. - Here.

Take this.

Turn. Turn sideways.

Look at me.

- Now, tell me the truth. - Yeah?

Paid your debt?

You wired me the money, and I handed it over the same day.

Among other things.

Don't worry about me. I'll figure it out. I have a client lined up for tonight.

You're not doing silly stuff, right?

Turns out she likes Italian pizza, so I was like, "I'll get some, signora."

Is that Serap already?

I told you, didn't I?

- Stupid photos in the tub! - All right!

- Welcome. - You have mulled wine? I'm a bit cold...

- I'd just ordered pizza. - Hi.

But he got it wrong. I didn't order pepperoni.

- What? You didn't? - No.

I'll tell the restaurant to get their act together.

Please do.

- Good luck, then. - Good night.

He even wanted to use the bathroom.

- You think he recognized me? - I doubt it.

But he won't ever forget you.

Come here.

You come here.

I want to see your eyes this time.

Okay.

You're tense.

Something bothering you?

- It's my daughter's birthday tomorrow. - That's amazing. Happy birthday to her.

She says there's nothing to celebrate.

She hates everything anyway.

She only likes music.

- Doesn't she have any friends? - She does.

She does, but I think her friend is too good-looking.

My daughter gets self-conscious around her.

If she only knew how beautiful she was.

But she doesn't believe that, right?

She hates herself.

Her mind might change if someone else likes her, though.

Like who?

There's my pizza guy.

A trustworthy friend of mine.

He's a well-mannered, stand-up guy.

Very earnest.

A real gem.

Very polite too.

He's a sight to see.

A true gentleman.

If we arranged for them to meet somewhere…

if my guy approached her and introduced himself, and they talked,

maybe it'd boost her confidence and make her think she's attractive.

What do you say?

Do you really trust him?

I wouldn't suggest it otherwise, Serap.

Will you be there too?

If you want me there, sure.

Happy birthday, Ayşe!

- Happy birthday! - Thank you so much!

This is for the birthday girl, Ayşe.

She'll be here soon.

Thanks.

Come on, then.

What the fuck? It's so salty...

- No cursing, remember? - Okay. No cursing.

Look. This is the gig of your life.

But the girl is sensitive, so take it slow.

- I'll act like I'm serious. - Act like she's special.

All right, man. Just relax.

She's here. Upper floor. Black dress.

What the heck, man? She'll chase me with a broom.

Don't give her a reason, then.

Here. Get her a drink.

- I bet she likes raki. - How about a cocktail?

No, Kado.

- Off I go, then. - All right.

- Be a true gentleman. - Trust me.

- Everything's as we agreed, right? - Don't you worry.

No mix-ups, right? It's like everyone was born today.

No mix-ups.

- And you absolutely have the song? - Yes, miss.

It has to be the acoustic version.

You've got this. I trust you. Good luck.

We're on the upper floor. Just saying.

Come on.

What a nice coincidence.

I'm Saygın.

The guy who likes fireworks.

Oh, yeah. I remember now. Saygın the Firecracker.

You have every right to be mad.

Because you stood me up? Nah.

You don't like them, but they played a lot of good covers.

I danced till dawn.

You did?

Happy to hear that.

Have fun.

What I did was wrong, but something urgent came up.

- So urgent that you couldn't tell me? - I couldn't come see you.

You couldn't have spent two minutes?

If I did, I'd never leave.

- My friend's waiting. - I didn't catch your name.

It's Nehir.

The girl who hates firecrackers.

Nehir.

- Where have you been? I was about to call. - I'm here now.

- You were talking to someone again. - Just some guy I know.

You made me dress like a nymphomaniac. He must be thinking I'm asking for it.

- Who? - The guy over there.

He's been checking me out.

Maybe he just likes you.

He's looking at my boobs.

Because no one else has boobs.

He's totally looking at your face.

I'll be back in a sec.

TO: S DON'T WORRY. EVERYTHING'S OKAY.

Good evening.

I couldn't help but notice something.

Yeah. We know.

- No, I meant your smile. - Oh, come on.

Smile? Me?

Yeah.

Excuse me.

- Hello? Yeah? - Pull the plug.

- Kado, pull the plug. - I can't hear you. What's up?

We're pulling out, Kado. Pull the plug.

Why? Where are you anyway?

At the bar. Behind you.

I'm sorry, ladies. I'll be back in two minutes.

Did he just say "ladies"?

I think he's cute.

- She was just warming up to me. - We're leaving.

- Two double scotches. - I said we're leaving.

- Relax. - I don't want it.

- Give it. - Kado!

Please don't get wasted again. Slow down.

- Let's go dance. - What?

Didn't I get you the gig? Now I'm telling you no.

- I've got it, man. - Okay?

- Just relax for a moment. - Kado!

- Fulya, it's your birthday today. - Will you let me go?

Watch out, or I'll embarrass you on your big day.

How?

I'll go say to him, "My friend wants to show you her smile."

- No way. - Yes way.

Where are you going?

- Are you kidding me? - I'm just getting a drink.

- Keep your mouth shut. - But I have to…

- Two tequila shots, please. - Sure.

She obviously didn't like you.

- You tried. - Did she tell you that?

- Did she say that? No. - No. It's just my take.

She didn't say it, so hang on.

- Let me talk to her. - Kado.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Sorry for bothering you again, but, like, is it a crime?

- Excuse me? - Is it a crime that we liked you?

You treated me like I was a pervert, and I get it, really.

But if you treat my friend like he's a pervert too,

I swear we'll have a problem, Miss Curly.

Don't mind him. He's drunk. Let's go, Kado.

This is the perfect man right here. The perfect man.

- Does he look like a pervert? - No one's calling him one.

But you're absolutely full of crap.

Why's that?

Remember complimenting her smile?

Come on, Kado.

I mean, one can imagine.

But believe you me, I can make her smile tonight.

- You can try. - Let me go, man.

Kado, stop.

I like everything natural.

I'll grab him soon.

Are you leaving?

Shame. You're going to miss it, then.

Miss what?

I was about to do something you hate. Never mind.

- How about some raki? - No, thanks.

What should we drink?

I'm so nervous.

I'm black like charcoal On your spotless hands

I'm like a hurtful verse Against your innocent words

Don't tell me to stay Don't ask me that

Hush tonight Don't you dare mention love to me

Stop tonight Don't touch me and infatuate me

I don't want To get your hopes up

There's always something beckoning me From cities that sit afar

Something that makes me remember you In the bitter smiles I see

You stay who you are Don't you change for me

I'll leave today, maybe tomorrow When it's time to depart

You stay who you are I'm just a guest here…

Just wave me goodbye When it's time to depart

Was I that bad?

What is it, then?

I'll sing you another cover if you don't tell me.

KARAOKE NIGHT

You know…

I'm just a bit tired.

So I wanted to leave. Just waiting for my car.

It's almost time for the cake.

Try it at least. Maybe you'll like it. I put so much effort into it.

It's not hard.

Mash a few cookies,

pour some pudding,

stick on a few candles.

There's your cake.

Is that what you used to do?

Did it taste good?

It was passable.

What were the ingredients?

I don't remember.

Strawberries?

Strawberries were so expensive back then.

They were for us, at least.

Maybe you'll bake me one someday.

I'll buy the strawberries.

Would you do that?

I can't.

There are so many aspects of me you'd hate.

Your car is ready, sir.

- My friend will pick it up. - Of course.

What's up? Why are you back?

Hello, everyone.

I'm Kado.

I'd like to…

All right.

…dedicate this song to the sweetest,

the most adorable girl I've ever…

It's Fulya's birthday today.

That's right!

Nehir.

This is not a conversation, though.

Enjoy it.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Oh, you know I would never hurt you…

Is your friend trustworthy?

Good. At least he is.

Maybe you shouldn't leave, considering your state.

You're worrying about me?

I think you're the one who needs to watch himself.

You know, since you're unstable.

VALET

- Nehir. - Can I get a cab?

What? Nehir, you can't even stand up straight.

Come on. I'll give you a ride.

I'm so sorry.

Sleep it off. You'll be fine by tomorrow.

I have a confession to make.

There are other things about me you'd hate.

Like what?

Like… I like my pasta overcooked. Doughy even.

I occasionally listen to Arabesque rap when I'm feeling really blue.

Let's keep that between us.

All right.

Your turn.

I don't have anything to confess.

You said you did.

You told me there were so many aspects of you I'd hate.

I was drunk.

Oh, before I forget…

- What is it? - My notebook.

In your purse?

Here you go.

Thanks.

Good night, then.

Do you mind staying?

You can sleep here too.

Don't worry. I won't bite.

- It wouldn't be comfortable for you. - I'll be fine.

Just lean back.

DREAMCRACKERS

I'll pick it up from here later.

What's up?

I really enjoyed our double date thing.

You give her a ride?

Sure I did, since I'm not a buffoon like you.

What do you mean?

You left Nehir out in the rain at the bus stop like a stray cat.

What, you were too sleepy?

Come. Come here.

A DREAMCRACKER FLYING… BROKEN HEARTS…

Let me give you a ride.

The bus will be here soon. Thanks.

Why did you leave without even saying goodbye?

I didn't want to wake you up.

Come on. You obviously ran.

Took my sweater too.

It's just a sweater, man.

I did run, yes.

Because you scare me.

You treat me well one second, and you back away the next.

I can't with you.

I might've felt overwhelmed.

Overwhelmed? What, by me?

By the… Dreamcrackers, was it?

- You went through my notebook? - I didn't.

I have a question, but be honest.

It's all drenched.

One second.

I'm listening.

Are you married?

No.

Girlfriend, then?

No.

Your fuck buddies are your business.

I thought you only wondered about the things I hate.

I wonder what you want from me.

How about a movie?

Only if I get to pick.

MY PROSTITUTE LOVE

You're kidding. It hasn't even started.

It's what Türkân does to you. Not everyone gets it.

This one's my favorite.

A lot of suffering. A good example.

- "Giddyup!" - Giddyup!

Now I feel awful for no reason at all.

Since I can't go on without him…

It's like you're watching Spider-Man. How do you not find this touching?

It's my 14th run.

Oh, I see.

You look so indifferent because I'm the 14th victim.

Nah.

I don't think you watched it voluntarily. I bet someone made you.

Who made you watch? A girlfriend?

"I'm scared you'll say yes."

Keep watching.

All the crying basically destroyed me.

- I'm sure you'll make fun of me a lot. - It's nothing compared to last night.

The film's beginning on screen three.

I earned the right to tease you.

Maybe they have the score.

- What were you studying again? - Vocal performance.

I figured.

- I assume you'll be famous soon. - Yeah, right.

I could be a first in the industry.

"The famous singer with stage fright."

I'm planning to be a backing vocalist.

That'd be so unfair to the lead singer.

You've got quite the silver tongue.

Fuck you and your bullshit, man.

Where did you send me?

Good job.

Lean back.

Good job.

You can answer it. Thanks for the ride.

How can I reach you?

Enter your number.

I'm calling myself.

I'll call. If I can't resist.

See you.

Good job.

Lean back.

Welcome.

I think there's been a misunderstanding because this is not my kind of gig.

Saygın told me you were up for anything.

Did he now?

Turn around.

Don't be scared. It won't hurt.

Might it be that the lady doesn't want this?

It might not be.

Surprise.

Come here.

Where have you been?

You didn't pick up all day.

- Were you at the gym? - Uh-huh.

What's wrong? You seem out of sorts.

Come here.

She told me it was the best birthday ever.

She said, "I kept objecting and screaming, but I'm glad you made me do it."

She couldn't stop talking about it. She told me the story again and again.

I wish she always talked to me.

She was so happy.

She wouldn't stop singing all day long.

Glad to hear that.

I'm over the moon.

What do you want me to do?

Come on. Ask me anything.

No need.

What do you mean?

Come on, please. Think. Ask for something from me.

A motorcycle. Or…

A vacation with your friend.

I know a lot of people. I'll arrange something.

But you have to behave there.

I really don't want anything.

I have everything I need.

But if you really want to do me a favor…

let me rest a few days.

What do you mean?

I'm tired with the move and all.

I need sleep.

All right.

Thank your friend for me.

Tell him it's fine that they exchanged numbers,

but that'll be all.

Got it.

Where have you been, man?

I'd enjoy it more if I were a fucking hit man.

What happened?

You should've seen her face. I was disgusted by myself, man.

Did you take pills?

Was there any other way?

You think I'd go that far otherwise?

You obviously think I'd do anything and everything.

You don't have to force yourself.

If it happens again, just leave.

Oh, is that so?

Why'd you tell the guy that, then?

I need a shower.

- What do you think I told him? - Oh, come on.

Wait a minute.

You did well last night.

I appreciate it.

But you're not to see her again.

Don't answer her calls. This'll be all.

Why, though?

You keep seeing the other one.

You even bring her over.

Oh, I get it.

Mr. Saygın is in a different league than poor old Kado.

You're pure and clean, right?

Off you go now. I need a shower.

You know I'd have never left you otherwise.

Oh, come on.

You just saw a rare opportunity to flirt, so you abandoned me.

That's ridiculous. He's so into you.

Just enjoy it for once.

I won't get another chance, right?

I didn't say anything like that!

I knew it from the start that it wasn't the boobs he wanted.

I think he has a crush on you.

Well, let's not get carried away.

And you, don't get all domestic.

Not at all. I'm playing it cool this time around.

Did you tell Serap about it?

I bet she was happy to hear it.

Tell me about it? She wouldn't shut up about it.

I keep telling her.

You don't need to find your soulmate.

You're still young. You'll have flings.

You'll have fun and move on.

Why do I have to have fun and move on?

You found him attractive when you were drunk.

Who knows what you'd think if you saw him now?

I guess we'll see. Because I'm going to see him.

Oh?

We're grabbing something to eat tomorrow.

Is that so?

- Well, see you, girls. - See you.

Let's pick an outfit for me today.

We'll find you something good. Don't worry. Trust me.

Morning.

Morning.

I made you breakfast.

Yeah, I saw.

- Hey, Saygın. - Yeah?

She's so into me, man. She told me she'd never laughed so hard.

Dude, I swear I didn't fumble it.

I never said you did, Kado.

Then?

Shit. Serap's visiting today?

No.

The witch just drops by anytime. I'll be in my room.

Doggy! Let's go, boy.

Welcome. I wasn't expecting you.

What did I tell you?

He was not to call her again. She's all dreamy...

Who's in there?

Someone's here, right?

Serap, would you calm down? No one's here.

Are you Kado?

I'd told Saygın, but I think he didn't relay the message.

Don't contact my daughter.

Sure.

Doggy. Come on, boy.

You came here to say that?

Me showing up unannounced bothers you now?

What's up with that? What changed between us?

We discussed it last night.

Who cares?

If you don't answer my calls or oblige my requests from now on,

things will change.

Get it together!

Be the guy I know and trust again.

Why didn't you tell me she was her daughter, man?

Let her take her car and house and shove it.

Fuck her.

I can't tell her to fuck off.

She acted like she owned you.

She's just angry.

What about Nehir?

If you juggle the two of them, then you'll be an actual whore.

Just a figure of speech.

Don't worry. I got the hint.

You think I'm in a position to diss you?

If you're in love, there are other ways to make money.

Oh, yeah?

Sure, it's so easy.

If that's the case, why'd you stay at his place last night?

I'll tell you why.

It wasn't depravity.

It was poverty.

You fucking had to stay there, Kado.

Or rather, you had to stay fucking.

Come on, boy. Let's go get some air. Come.

Let's go.

There are other ways, huh?

The hell there are.

Hello?

Nehir?

The fire has been put out after the fire squad's quick response.

Some residents…

Nehir!

Nehir!

I'm okay. It wasn't that big of a deal, after all.

I'm okay, Saygın.

I called you when Fulya and Serap didn't pick up. I'm sorry.

- Who knows where they are. - Okay. Let's go.

They'd be scared if I called them this late.

- We're going to my place. - Your place?

Do you trust me?

No.

Look at me, Nehir. I couldn't make a move even if you asked me.

How about making pasta, then?

Here we go.

What would you like?

Spaghetti? Penne? Tagliatelle?

I make a mean tagliatelle.

- Bow tie. - Bow tie?

I hate it.

And here I thought you knew your pasta.

Leave it to me. I'll make you something good.

Crashed on the couch again?

Yeah.

Why?

I like sleeping there.

- Where am I going to sleep, then? - Wherever you want. It's a big house.

I was totally talking about that.

Nehir, listen.

I'm not going to "take advantage of you."

We'll have some pasta,

and you'll sleep wherever you want, okay?

I guess you really find me special.

You hugged me as if you couldn't bear the thought of anything bad happening.

You like red pepper paste?

Just when I thought you stopped being evasive.

Our home burned down.

With my mother inside.

Her name was Gönül.

The title of the song you sang.

Kado tried to save her.

But he couldn't.

How could he anyway?

She'd insisted I went to school.

I usually didn't listen to her, but I did that day.

So I went to school.

For the last time.

Then I said, "Fuck it."

"It's not like Mom can be mad at me anymore."

I never went again.

You asked for a confession.

Well, here you go. I'm a seventh grade dropout.

Is there room for me on the couch?

Morning.

- What time is it? - Whoa.

What's wrong?

- You're going to run again? - No, we're past that stage.

I have an exam today. I need to be there on time.

- Wish me luck. - Good luck.

Hey, Nehir!

- Should I pick you up? - I'm meeting Fulya.

I'll see you later.

I'll be here around five.

Yeah?

Hi. How are you?

So-so.

You available? I want to talk to you.

I'm not, actually.

- Are you okay? - I'm not.

I'm all alone here.

I couldn't tell anyone. I'm so scared.

What's going on? Where are you?

I'm so sorry, sir. There was a fire at the dorm.

- Go ahead. - Thanks.

- Can I try again? - From the top.

Sorry.

I didn't think you'd come.

They only let me know yesterday after the smear.

They recommended emergency surgery.

It can even cause cervical cancer.

That's not going to happen.

We're ready for you.

Look what he makes me go through at my age.

You must be wondering how I am still with him.

Whatever he does,

you're special and precious.

That's why he's scared of you.

He can't handle you.

Come here.

You'll wait for me, right?

Of course.

The person you have called cannot be reached.

You can leave a message after the beep. Charges may apply.

SAYGIN CALLING…

The person you called cannot be reached at the moment…

I look terrible, don't I?

As if that's possible.

Come here.

You said you wanted to talk to me about something.

It's not urgent. We'll talk later.

FULYA: WHAT'S UP?

What is it, Saygın?

Nehir, I'm at the dorm.

Can you come up to the window?

Oh.

I'm sorry. I got you a strawberry cake.

I can make you bow tie pasta too.

Eat your pasta alone. I hope it's raw.

Oh, my beloved

Oh, my beloved

Oh, my beloved

How is life going in the gardens?

Are you soaring in the sky

With the colorful butterflies?

Are there rivers there?

Rivers that flow below us?

Oh, my beloved

I've been missing you

Oh, my beloved

I'm sorry.

You can't get away that easily.

I stood in the cold for an hour.

And I've been getting soaked for two, Nehir.

Let's call it even.

I'm not lying.

I was at the hospital for a personal thing.

- And then... - Will you break my heart again?

No. You?

Hope not.

Have you sung that song for anyone else?

It was my first time.

I asked a few people, but they didn't know about it.

I'd like to sing "Dreamcrackers" to everyone.

Don't read my notebook again.

I inspired you. Admit it.

I don't eat cake mix, by the way. You have to bake one yourself.

Only if you buy the strawberries.

I'm sorry.

It's just… The door was open.

I didn't go through the room or anything. I was just looking.

You don't trust me.

Did you ask me to?

Nehir…

It's not my first time.

If that's what you're worried about.

I'm sorry.

You're not staying?

Is it me?

I think about you all day, every day, Nehir.

I tried.

I tried backing away.

I tried not thinking about you, not missing you, but I failed.

Yes, it is you.

Because you're everything I'm trying to stay away from.

I miss you.

Your face flashes before my eyes every second of every moment.

You even sometimes whisper songs in my ear.

How do you do it?

I may not be a first to you…

but you sure are to me.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

I told you not to smoke in here.

Where have you been, huh?

Why, were you worried? You seemed just fine.

- What are those, Kado? - Aspirin.

Don't lie to me, man. Kado, come on.

I'm not lying, Saygın.

I'm already pissed at you.

So don't push me. I can't right now.

Where are you going?

Does it matter?

Come here, Doggy.

You still bummed he didn't call?

No. I'm not Nehir, you know.

But this one's a stand-up guy. That's what she says.

She said she'd tell me about him in person.

Well… he's a total stranger.

This kind of stuff gets to her.

She's not like me.

She skips her classes. She just leaves and disappears.

I'm scared she's going to lose the scholarship.

I mean, even I'm a mess. Imagine how hurt she feels.

Oh, my baby girl.

Be thankful you got out before it was too late.

Just forget about it.

They're both trash anyway.

The other still has Nehir in his grasp.

"The other"?

He's a friend of Kado's.

What do you mean?

They're friends, you say?

Of course. They're roommates, even.

Don't you worry about that stuff.

Believe me, it's for the best. Maybe she'll learn her lesson.

Why the bun? It looks better when you let it loose.

You told me you'd quit. What happened?

You can't mix that stuff with the pills.

- You spend your money on this? - Quiet. She'll hear.

Coke too?

Of course. It's like nothing is ever enough for you.

Your dick has to stay up at all times.

Listen to me.

If you want to kill yourself, don't fucking do it in my house.

Oh, so it's your house now?

Come. Come here, boy.

Let's go, boy.

What is it that you want? Kadir!

What?

- What more can I do for you? - Nothing! Don't do anything!

Thanks for taking me in, giving me money, and sending me your old clients.

You never skipped a chance to rub my nose in it, though.

Once that baby face of yours gets all wrinkled up,

you're going to fucking need this stuff too.

- You know what separates us? - I don't. Please tell me.

This is not my only asset.

I have this too.

Yeah. Because that got you the house and the car, right?

Why don't we ask her?

- You're a lost cause. - You're the lost cause.

My mom always used to say, "Don't bring that thief over."

Come on, boy.

Let's go.

Thanks.

Good luck in there.

Oh, it's Serap. I'll introduce you.

That's the guy she's seeing.

Let's meet him, then.

There's really no need.

But she saw us. That'd be rude.

Your call.

- I missed you! - I missed you too, honey.

I haven't seen you in days.

Saygın.

Serap.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Nice to meet you. - You too.

What a lovely car you have.

Thank you.

- I won't keep you any longer. - This was too brief.

We didn't even get to talk.

We'd love to have you over someday. For a longer chat.

We'll have a nice long conversation when we have time.

We're going to be late to class.

Have a nice day.

So what do you think?

I really can't tell.

Okay, enough. Come on. We're actually late now.

We'll talk later.

See you. Good luck in class.

I have a question.

Why don't you like Saygın?

I don't know. Just a feeling.

What kind of feeling?

Like he's hiding something.

Something dark.

- Let's begin, people. - Good luck.

Is everything tuned?

Listen to each other. Don't rush.

Ready? One, two…

Nehir?

Is it what I said?

Why would you even take me seriously?

What do I know about men?

But you're right. Something's off.

Kado was there last night. He said some terrible stuff to Saygın.

Terrible as in?

He's not the one who pays the rent.

I think the car isn't his either.

Is there someone else?

Get up. Let's go.

Come on.

I'll move out tomorrow.

Thanks for everything, Serap.

For being a friend.

Being a friend, huh?

I have a question.

Are you a gang who cons mothers and daughters or something?

I didn't know, Serap.

I tried backing off. I wanted to stay away, but…

I couldn't.

Might as well tell me you fell in love too.

Wow.

Can I ask one last thing from you?

Don't tell her. She can't handle it.

Of course.

But I can, right?

I'm used to it, after all.

She's beautiful, isn't she?

Her skin and everything.

Youth is really something else.

This isn't about age.

Of course not.

You fell in love with how deep she was.

I asked one thing from you.

I told you not to trick me.

I told you not to do what he did.

I was going to tell you, Serap.

- You were in the hospital... - Shut up!

You're all trash!

Who knows? Maybe I got the virus from you.

Maybe I blamed him for nothing.

You let her in my bed in the house I pay for.

You noticed she had no one, of course.

But that's not the case. She's like a daughter to me.

Either you end this, or I'll talk to her.

I'm old anyway.

She's not, though.

She doesn't need a gigolo.

- What? - Mrs. Serap, I'm calling from the clinic.

Hi, Ms. Çiğdem.

- If it's not urgent, can you... - I'm calling about your results.

- Oh. Are they in? - Yes.

Okay. I'm listening.

It'd be better if we discussed it in person.

I don't get it.

- It'd be more appropriate. - Why not tell me now?

It's procedure. You need to come in.

- He's not picking up, is he? - No, he isn't.

If you end up kissing him, call me so I don't keep waiting.

You okay?

I'm fine. Give me a minute.

Can I ask one last thing from you?

Hold me.

One last time.

My daughter gave me a compliment for the first time ever.

You know what I can't stand?

Even if you lose your hair,

you still stay men.

It'll be okay. You're a very strong woman, Serap.

Nehir?

Nehir!

Nehir, we had no idea.

You're the woman Kado mentioned.

I don't know what he said, but it's over.

- What is over exactly? - We were just saying goodbye.

- Are you a couple? - It's not like that.

- We… - What is it like, then?

You can't say? Let's ask him.

I heard him talking about his "asset."

It's all yours, isn't it?

The house, the car…

and Saygın himself.

You two were living the movie he and I saw together, after all.

Thanks for not charging me!

Nehir! Nehir, wait.

Nehir!

Don't follow me. Your daughter's outside.

Oh, wow. That bad?

- Let's go. - Did you catch him in the act?

- I'll go give him a piece of my mind. - Get in the damn car, Fulya!

We can go.

It suits you.

Thanks. Where's your husband?

I don't know. It's just the two of us.

- He doesn't know? - No, but he will.

What if he gets upset?

Follow me.

You can leave a message after the beep. Charges may apply.

It's over.

Everyone knows all about it now, Kado.

Yeah.

You know what I hate the most in life?

Well, besides smoking.

It's…

myself.

Not because I'm a whore.

But because I'm rotten.

Rotten to the core.

Come home, man.

I need you so bad.

Come home so we can get the fuck out of here.

Let's move back to our old place.

Enough!

Not the one that burned down.

Kado?

You home?

I lied.

I just blurted it out

in the heat of the moment.

You know my mom would never say that about you, right?

She liked you better than me.

"Where's my Kado?"

"Listen, Saygın. Look after him."

"But, Mom, Kado's older. Shouldn't he be looking after me?"

"But he's more sensitive than you are. He just doesn't show it."

"All right, Mom."

"All right."

What's wrong with you, boy?

Go. Eat your food. There it is. Go.

You're going to catch a cold, man.

What the hell happened to your face? Hey. Did you get into a fight?

Kado. Kado?

Open your eyes, man.

Open your eyes!

Kado!

Kado, wake up! Kado!

Kado! Open your eyes, Kado!

Kado, wake up, damn it! Wake up!

Kado!

Wake up, damn it! Wake up!

Kado, just wake up! Wake up!

Pasta's ready!

MY PROSTITUTE LOVE

He loves it. He thinks he's a big shot.

- Come on, guys. Cut it. - All right.

- "Giddyup!" - Giddyup!

Mom!

Mom!

- Mom! - Don't! Stop!

- Mom! - I'm a lost cause. I couldn't save her.

Mom!

Let me go!

The first thing this trade taught me?

3 YEARS LATER

You have to watch out for accidents.

The moment you realize you're into them, you have to bail.

It'll ruin you otherwise.

He never fell in love, you know. What a man.

Mr. Saygın, can you come over for a second?

I'm coming.

Go in.

Sir, look. I just told the other person as well.

We had a rehearsal. We're hungry.

It's just pasta we ordered.

How hard can it be?

We don't have "just pasta," though.

Sorry. I'd love to help you, but we're not even open yet.

Terribly sorry.

Saygın?

You know him?

Hello.

Hello.

How are you?

I'm okay.

You?

I'm fine.

We just had a rehearsal

and wanted to try our luck when we saw the lights on.

If I knew the place was yours…

You wouldn't have come?

No, I would've, but…

I'd have at least known not to order bow tie.

Bow tie?

Bow tie…

I…

I'll try and make something for you.

- How about some desserts? - Sure thing.

We can have them to go as well.

How about you? Would you like one?

I'll pass. Thanks.

I have the best strawberry cake.

Strawberry, you say?

In that case, sure. I'll give it a taste.

Elif, four servings of tiramisu to go.

And a slice of strawberry cake.

A band, huh?

Sweet kids.

- Well, I... - The...

Go ahead.

The place looks nice.

- You like it? - Uh-huh.

It hasn't been long. I've been working hard.

Hey, Nehir. We'll be outside.

Well, then…

I'll get the tab.

Don't be ridiculous. No way. Please.

Nehir, please.

This is on me, then.

My first show.

- You did it, huh? - You could say that.

I knew it.

No covers, by the way. The songs are all mine.

So you don't have to worry.

Thanks.

Well, think about it, I guess.

If you find the time…

You can bring a guest too.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.
