["Benim Yerime de Sev"
by Sibel Can playing]

FOR CHILDREN WITH WOUNDED SOULS…

♪ You must have cried
A little bit that night ♪

♪ Fall in love for my sake ♪

-♪ Don't second guess yourself ♪
-[Fatih] I told you.

There was no one, I was alone.

I didn't know what to do.

-No one saw.
-[woman] Fatih!

-[Fatih] He came out of nowhere.
-[man] Do you hear yourself?

[Fatih] What was I supposed to do?

-[man] What were you thinking?
-Hey, bro! Your notes, I recovered them.

-[man] Are you really that stupid?
-[slaps loudly]

-[woman] Please, Atif.
-[Atif] A hit-and-run? What did you do?

[Fatih] Dad, I panicked, okay?

It was dark, no one saw me, I swear.

[Atif] We're ruined now,
your life is over.

[knocking on door]

[woman] Atıf, I'm begging you, save him.

Good evening, Atıf.
Your car was in an accident tonight?

Yes, inspector.
I'm sorry. I just heard about it.

My son…

The man he hit didn't pull through.

The boy's under arrest.

[intense music playing]

Baran, you heard the inspector. Get going.

[tense music playing]

But Dad, what's happening, why am I...

-I never...
-Son, you'll be back before you know it.

You're a minor.

This will ruin
your brother's life if they take him.

You'll do a little time and get out.

Now go on, it's okay. Come on, my son.

Say something, they're taking me.

-[Atif] Go easy on him.
-Right.

ABANDONED MAN

[emotional music playing]

TURKISH MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

15 YEARS LATER

Hey, good luck, kid.

[man 1] Go get em', Baran.

[man 2] Good luck out there.

[man 3] Baran!

I almost didn't recognize you
when I saw you coming out of there.

Time sure has passed.

You have the exact same eyes.

I almost didn't spot my own brother,
that's crazy.

Lidya, meet your uncle.

[dramatic music playing]

-Baran, come on. Baran, for God's sake.
-Let go of me.

Don't be stubborn.
I came here to pick you up.

-[Baran] Get off.
-Please, just listen to me.

I let you go once.
I won't make the same mistake again

Should I beg? I'm on my knees, brother.

Please give me
another chance, Baran. Please!

Will that ease your burden?
That's not happening this time.

Go on, beg, I don't care.

Baran, it's just you and me left.

Every one of our family members
have passed away.

We only have each other in this life.

Give me a chance
to make this right, Baran.

Please get off the ground, Dad. Let's go.

[Lidya] I don't think Uncle likes us.

Get out of here, you're embarrassing
yourself in front of your daughter.

I want a second chance!

You don't get one! We're done!

Okay. Fine! I'm not moving from this spot.

I'll starve here.

You've been drinking, haven't you?

Unbelievable.

Uncle!

Wait.

Will you come with us if I beg you?

[whispers] He's handsome, isn't he?

[woman] Fatih, close the door.

Fifteen years, Fatih. It's been 15 years.

Tell me what you were thinking.
We don't know him.

What do you mean, honey?
He's my little brother. We don't know him?

I couldn't know him any better.
That guy is more reliable than you and me.

Fatih, have you been drinking?

Typical.

He's going to hear you, keep it down.
I barely convinced him to come here.

[sighing]

-How long's he going to be here?
-As long as he wants to stay here, Arzu.

My mom and dad only let me drink the foam.

Oh yeah?

-Of what?
-Of coffee.

I wanna know your favorite coffee.

There's mocha, Americano, cappuccino.

Cortado, cold brew, and…

That man was imprisoned
with maniacs and psychopaths.

Who knows what he's been through.

My God. You're unbelievable.

We're going away
on vacation soon, my love.

We'll be gone anyway, sweetheart, please.

Please, listen to me.
Let him stay for a while.

He needs to relax, he just got out.

Really, Fatih? Right,
he needs relaxation. You're so right.

Who cares about our comfort?
We should only care about him?

What are you talking about?

I guess it was just a matter of time
until you ruined everything.

And you want him to be relaxed.

The man is a murderer.

[slams door]

[emotional music playing]

[Lidya] How old are you in that photo?

Fourteen.

Say something, they're taking me.

Can you bend down?

Hmm?

Kneel.

-Why?
-Just do it.

Come on, kneel.

-But why?
-Do it, okay!

You're way too grumpy,
so it keeps it from showing.

-What am I not showing?
-That you are handsome under there.

[blows]

[giggles]

-Are you messing with me?
-Girls never say how handsome you are?

[tsks]

It's news to me.

-Did Daddy show you any of my baby photos?
-No, he didn't.

Do you wanna see them?

Alright, fine, go get them.

Oh, I'm so happy there's something
you wanna do, Uncle.

Baby says lean down,
for a Baby cheek kiss.

-Should I bend down?
-That's right.

[emotional music swells]

[Arzu] Lidya.

[music stops]

I thought we agreed that you'd finish
your homework before dinner, sweetie.

Why are you ignoring your mother?

[Lidya] But, Mom, I told you
I finished my homework already.

Double-check your work. Go on now.

[Lidya] But I was gonna show
my baby pictures to Uncle.

-Ugh. Lidya, don't be a bother, okay?
-I didn't bother him, mom.

To your room.
You're pestering him. Now get going.

She wasn't. It's okay.

It's not okay. It's time she learned
about talking to strangers.

Arzu, honey. It's okay.
Please don't be rude.

-[Lidya] Papa!
-What is it, love?

My uncle likes to have his coffee plain.
Just plain Turkish coffee.

Is that right?
Hey, you have to forgive me.

Can I get you a drink?

No, I'm okay. I was just stopping by.

-Don't worry. Sorry to bother you.
-Hurry now, Lidya. Come.

Let's go.

[Fatih] Baran, where are you going?

-Don't be silly. You have to stay.
-Get out of my way.

-Move!
-Baran! I'm your older brother.

Show some respect, okay?

I'm tired of this shit,
where I have to beg for everything.

All I'm asking is that you listen to me.

You can't beg your way out of this one.

Cry about your shitty life all you want.

Now move.

We're done here.

-Baran. Stop!
-Move, now.

[Fatih] Hear me out.

Whenever they allowed
a visitation for you, I showed up.

I waited there every time.
And you wouldn't see me.

Whenever I sent money, you sent it back.

All my letters were unopened.

Did you stay silent
all that time to hurt me?

Every time I came to visit,

I would sit there with my stomach in knots
terrified you would show up.

I was afraid to look you in the eye.
You made it easier on me.

You didn't say a single word,
even in court.

Baran, you should've said something.

Why didn't you speak up and tell them?

Tell them that your family set you up.

You're out.
You served your time, but I didn't.

I created my own prison
out of my life in the meantime.

I need your help now.
Please, for the love of God,

for my daughter,
if you go she'll never forgive me.

Baran.

The guilt's too much, it's gonna kill me.

Look at my pictures.

Baby says we look alike even as toddlers.

I heard you always behaved.

That's what dad told me. He said that

you never made him cry.

And that you never made him mad.

You're gonna stay, right?

I was hoping you could
help me find somebody?

Mister? I have a question.

Fuck off, okay?

What did you just say?

What's going on, man?

Oh, you were on your…
I'm sorry, I didn't know.

-Are you stupid?
-[man] Stop! Suha, he's my friend.

What's up with you. Man, chill. Go inside.

-You're lucky, bro.
-Just go inside, you maniac.

[Suha] Unreal. He came after me.

[man] You got out early?

You should've told me. That's not cool.

I would have picked you up
and planned something.

What would you plan for me,
bake me a cake?

I would have picked you up from prison.
Now I look like an asshole for no reason.

[Baran] Are you finished?

Have you looked around?
Are there any garages for rent?

Don't worry, I got you.

Come on, it's me.
I'll come through on this.

-We're right on track.
-Esat, what do you mean by that?

Opening a shop's my only chance.
Did you even look?

I'm on it, bro.
I found one at a reasonable price.

-Tell me about the owner.
-[Esat] Some old retired guy.

I'm in the drivers seat, bro. Get ready.
Buckle your seat belt.

[chuckles] A bird shit on your shirt.

Baran, we're outside, man.

Open sky, the fresh air, the birds.
One just took a shit on my shoulder.

We can go buy... buy a lottery ticket.

We could go on vacation after we won,
go to Sicily together.

Remember, we talked about it in prison.

We can make our dreams happen.
Nobody's stopping us. Don't you see that?

I know, but my dream's to own a garage.
Let's look at this shop.

Let me wipe this shit off.

[Baran] We got lots of shit to clean up.

[indistinct chatter]

Don't worry about Suha, man.

Let's look at this shop,
then we'll talk to him.

[man] Excuse me, Esat.

I don't mean to interrupt your tour,
but are you gonna work?

[Esat] Sure thing, boss.

Listen. Go down three blocks.
Third building, number 56.

You'll see the shop. Oh!

You and I are going
to celebrate later tonight.

Let's do it.

[uplifting music playing]

SHOP FOR RENT

Esat, who was that guy?

Sorry, boss.
I better go, there's lots of work to do.

[man] How do you know him?

A friend from prison, boss.

Listen, this is
a different world out here. Understand?

Nobody wants to work
with that kind of scum.

If I knew you were a convict,
I never would have hired you.

Don't judge so quickly.
How do you know he's not a good guy?

How could I not, the guy has problems.
I can spot a lunatic.

Really?

Come on don't say that, boss.

If you knew Baran,
you'd be ashamed of yourself, alright?

Trust me. The real lunatics,
they're out here.

It's not so cut and dry,
you know better than anyone.

[Esat] Have a heart, boss.

[Esat] Veli.

Can you play this for us?
It's my friend's birthday.

-Right away.
-Thanks.

-[Baran] Why did you lie to him?
-To celebrate you finally getting out.

Cheers to that.

Yikes, brother.
You're gonna get all your heart desires.

A woman will fuck your brains out.

We'll get wasted when it falls apart.
You'll cry your eyes out.

What's this?

-Heart's desire.
-Oh, God.

What do you think, bro? I made it.

-[Esat] It's beautiful.
-Esat.

Let's close this deal on the shop
first thing tomorrow.

It'll be a weight off me.

And I need it to have a place to stay.

You don't like your brother's place?

What aren't you saying?

You look worried. Is there a problem?

The shop owner.

Go on. What about the shop owner?

The stubborn asshole changed his mind.

Someone offered him more money.

The deposit is twice what he asked.

He said, "Pay up now,
or it goes to the other guy."

-Do you know him?
-[Esat] The other guy? No.

It seems he offered a lot of money.

How am I supposed to pay double, huh?

Fuck this shit!

Take it easy, bro.

I can't offer him any more.
For years I saved up that money.

This shop is my only chance.

Bro, you don't know the people
I had to deal with to get that money.

I hear you, calm down.
We'll find another shop soon, no problem.

-Maybe talk to your brother?
-Esat, don't make me want to punch you.

Dude, you can hit me if you want.

Let the guy help you, man.
Isn't he an engineer?

-He should help himself.
-No, bro, he owes you.

He should help you out.

-Dude, stop it.
-Why should I?

Why the hell are you so proud.
You spent half your life in prison.

You suffered so much in that hellhole.
You're still protecting him. For what?

Stop it. Take his money.

Think about it,
your brother owes you his life.

You want this fucking shop?
He owes you a life.

And I owe you, Baran.

Don't think I forgot.

I swear I'll get this all sorted.
Don't worry, alright?

[door closes]

-[Baran] What are you doing?
-I'm waiting for you.

[sighs]

I wanna show you a new photo album.

Can we do it later?

I'm kinda burnt out.

[Lidya] Burnt out? What's that?

-"Tired" is what it means.
-[Lidya] Come on.

This was Hop Hop.
A dog at the park stole her.

Now I have Baby, so it's all right.

I carry her everywhere.
I'll make sure no dog takes her.

That's smart. Don't ever leave her, okay?

[Arzu] Lidya, are you out there?

Baran, do you have a second?
We need to talk.

[Fatih] I'm home!

[gasps] Papa, you're here!

[Arzu] Baran, as you know,
we'll be leaving soon.

I've written down
some important things to remember.

Starting with a vital one.

We have an appointment with Ms. Anyur,
our cleaner, every Thursday.

She arrives at 8 a.m. She leaves at six.

You have to be
out of the house when she's here.

She's uncomfortable
having a man in the house.

Take the garbage out at nine.

There's no cigarette smoking in here.
Our landlord takes that quite serious.

I'd appreciate it if you used
a place mat when you eat.

I almost forgot, something very important.

If anyone asks how we know you,
you're a German relative.

Not everyone needs to know everything.

Come on, you're being rude.
Arzu, you're being rude.

Did something I say upset you, Fatih?

My love, my beautiful girl.
Sweetheart, why don't you go to your room?

You said you weren't gonna fight today.

-[Arzu] Enough, go to your room.
-[Fatih] It's okay, my love, go on.

Tell me what's rude, Fatih.

Other than you screaming
at me in front of them.

Get rid of that list.
I'm gonna lose my mind. I swear to God.

Do you think he's an idiot?

You're telling him how
to eat his dinner with a place mat.

You think he's an animal?

Look, Arzu. Don't push my buttons,
you gotta stop.

I've been understanding.

Don't talk to me
about pushing buttons, Fatih.

Baran. You seem like a good guy, okay?

If you want to keep bad things
from happening,

just know that if you're out in public
with your brother, be careful.

There's a good chance
you'll get your leg broken.

Arzu, don't. My God.

I'm about to lose my temper. Stop, please.

What's new?

You're used to losing control, aren't you?

Baran, I think you should step outside.

-I need to speak to her in private.
-Why?

Why can't Baran hear, is he family or not?
He should stay. Hear the truth.

The people you were locked up with
are amateurs compared to him.

He'll keep you in the dark,
like he did to me.

Yeah, and his partner.

He lied to movers
and painters working for him.

In case you're thinking of trusting him

and starting some kind of business,
consider yourself warned.

Our child doesn't have a school,
he can't pay the tuition.

He doesn't have the money
to pay for this apartment.

That's how bad things are.

He says he'll help. Go ahead, trust him.

I don't need your help. I have a plan.

Right. I've rented a shop.

I'll start a business up.

[sighs]

So I don't need your husband's help.

I just dropped by to grab my things.

[emotional music playing]

[Fatih] Hang on, let's talk. Please.

Arzu takes things way too far.
She's upset.

She's been in a bad mood lately.
C'mon. Don't listen to her.

You're the one who makes me sick.

Leave me alone
and go take care of your family.

You hear me?

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

[Esat] Where did you sleep last night?

[Baran] By the strand.
Don't worry about it.

Looks like a nice car under there.

[Esat] A rich businessman brought it.
I guess it belonged to his father.

I'm gonna take a closer look.

[Esat] What are you doing today?

[Baran] Checking the paper
for job postings.

Then look for some auto shops for lease.
What about you?

[Esat] Working.

That's a classic,
a guy dropped it off here.

He said he'll make it worth our while
if we can fix it.

The boss got all excited.

We got everyone together.
Checked everything.

But sadly, no luck.

[whistles] Rest in peace.

No, come on, bro. We can't give up on her.

We tried for two years.

What do you think you're doing?

-Boss.
-Huh?

I told you, no one touches it
without my permission.

-Let him look, Boss. Baran's really good.
-I call the shots. Understand?

We have work to do.

Hit you up later.

I don't want to see him
coming around the shop.

-Excuse me, sir.
-[man] How can I help?

I was wondering,

are there any garages
for rent around here?

There's a spot in the alley available
for lease. You should check it out.

-The alley out back.
-That's right, the alley out back.

Have a good one.

-Afternoon, sir.
-Afternoon.

-Is this shop still available for rent?
-No. I changed my mind.

-Don't worry about it. Thank you.
-Good luck, kid.

[Esat] Bro, you gotta have faith.

There are a lot of shops around here.
Just keep looking.

We have lots of options.
We'll find it. Don't worry.

[Baran] Hold up.

What's this place?

It's abandoned.

-They'll probably tear it down.
-[Baran] Seriously?

[Esat] Look at it, man. It's unusable.

You sure it's abandoned?

[Esat] No idea.

Let's get going.

[phone ringing]

Baran, right?

We've already met.
It's Selami. The industrial garage.

-That's right. Have a seat.
-Thanks.

Esat told me to come here.
The deal closed on your shop.

What deal?

Onur promised that he'd lease you
the place and he feels guilty.

I'm here to get the deposit
from you for the shop.

And make sure we complete the documents.

What made the old man reconsider?

That's how Onur is.
He got distracted by the money.

In the end he knew better.
He's actually got a big heart.

He couldn't be here himself
and asked me to close this.

Ah, but if you found another place then…

Uh, no, there's no other place.

Let me see the contact.

There you are.

That's great, it's surprising.

So, um…

I'm confused.

Sign there.
Below your name, the bottom line.

-Unreal.
-Plus the deposit for the shop.

Sorry, this is all I have. Is it enough?

Congratulations.

Thanks a lot. Great news.

-See ya around.
-For sure, take care.

[phone dings]

Hello?

Yes, this is his brother.

[tense music playing]

So you must be her uncle?

Is she okay?

She had a minor operation.

She'll recover,
but her mother didn't make it.

I'm sorry for your loss.

She kept asking about you.

What about her father?

-How's her father?
-[nurse] The doctor will inform you.

Sir, it's time to see your brother.

[machines beeping]

[Baran breathing shakily]

Yeah, I hear you, Duygu,
but you're aware of my situation.

[Duygu] Believe me, I'd like to help,
but like I explained already…

-Right. Yeah.
-My father has Alzheimer's.

-And I have three kids.
-Okay. I guess I'm out of options.

There's nothing I can do.

-Okay, thank you.
-I'm sorry.

-Thank you.
-Have a good night.

What's up?

It turns out,
Lydia's grandfather has Alzheimer's.

Really?

Apparently she has him
and two kids to take care of.

So basically she can't help.

No way! That's some aunt she's got.

[exhaling]

When do we get into the garage?
I haven't heard back from your friend.

Let's set up the shop
once we're done with things here.

I haven't even met the shop owner.

Who's this friend?

The one you sent with the contract.
Selami? You guys are friends.

The owner felt horrible.
I gave the deposit to him.

I signed the document for it.

You're making no sense. What document?

The shop owner already rented it out.
I don't know this Selami guy.

You were conned, brother.

I gave my signature. I'm sure it was real.

You're kidding me. Come on, really?

How could you fall for that?

[intense music playing]

[nurse] She had a minor operation.

She'll recover,
but her mother didn't make it.

She kept asking about you.

[Duygu] My father has Alzheimer's.
And I have three kids.

There's nothing I can do.

We've already met.
It's Selami. The industrial garage.

Plus the deposit for the shop.

[Esat] The shop owner rented it out.

I don't know this Selami guy.
How could you fall for that?

[Baran] Lidya.

Uncle Baran?

[whimpers]

[Baran] It's okay. Don't get up.

Lay back down.

Somebody told me that Baby's gone.

And my mommy's gone.

Do you think they're together?

I don't know.

My condolences.

"My condolences", what does that mean?

I meant to say that I hope you live long.

I want that for you too, Uncle.

You're not gonna leave me too.
Please stay.

-Do you think Daddy will get better?
-Mm-hmm.

I'm alone here.

Please stay with me.

Don't go, Uncle. Stay with me.

[coughing]

ÇOBAN FAMILY

For years, you let me rot.

My choice stripped from me again.

You've backed me into a corner.

[dramatic music playing]

What's wrong?

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Why not?

You aren't around.

I had something to do. I took care of it.

And I have something for you.

Bet you can't guess what it is.

Baby.

She really missed you.

-You're not happy?
-That means there's nobody there with Mom.

She's all alone.

No, someone's with her.

-Who?
-There's…

Uh...

The angels are up there.

You promise?

Hey, look, she's sad.
You didn't even hug Baby.

I'm sorry, Baby.

[sighs]

[Lidya crying]

Come on, Uncle, give me your hand.

Hey, Esat. Can you come
to the hospital and watch Lidya?

I'm going to find us a shop.

Thanks, brother. I owe you big time.

-How are you today?
-[driver] Good, thanks. Where to?

-Industrial park.
-[driver] Gotcha.

[moody music playing]

[Baran] Sorry, bro.
I hope you weren't here long.

Here.

-What's this about?
-Take a look.

Not covered by insurance.
The amount due upon receipt is…

410,000 liras?

Seriously?

What is this?

The hospital's saying you spent
15 days here eating and drinking.

Now pay us for all the crap we did.

You're fucking kidding me.

Take it from your brother.

Engineers make serious dough.

-They were going bankrupt.
-How do you know?

Ask his accountant about it or his lawyer.
He has to have money.

He's broke. His wife told me.

"His wife told me."

[tense music playing]

We need 350 more.

[Baran] What are we gonna do?

[Esat] We have no choice
but to sell what's left of his car.

What are we looking at, Şefik?

-Seventy grand.
-Stop lowballing us, get real.

-Good to see you, Şefik.
-How's it going, Musa?

What's this?
You're scamming customers again?

[Şefik] It's worth 70 grand.

Ninety grand for you.

Ninety, really?

It's not a beater.
You'll strip it for parts.

You're gonna make a killing.

Give a real offer.

For Musa, let me see, 120.

Şefik, if you take advantage of them,

they'll hold it against me
and screw me over.

One fifty.

That's my final offer.

One fifty it is. Congrats.

I've worked here for a long time.

That's the first time
he's done anyone a favor.

-[Esat] I'll take it.
-Here you go.

Good luck to you.

[Musa] Esat!

Yeah, boss?

-Time to pay up.
-What?

Ten percent commission.
You two are welcome.

You're serious, boss?

We're short on money already,
it's for an emergency.

Give me my commission.

Just hand it over.

135 more.

He's unbelievable.

I almost thought he had a heart.

It's for a hospital bill.

His brother's on his deathbed right now,
boss, fighting for his life.

Listen, owning a garage is his dream.

And he saved up all his money for years.

It's all gone in an instant.
Now he's left with nothing.

In all this time I never asked a favor,
now I'm begging.

Don't do anything rash.
Think this through.

Until he's back on his feet,
can you just give him a job here?

-You got a commission thanks to him.
-That was because of me.

[chuckles]

He was getting taken to the cleaners,
and I saved his ass.

Why do you hate him so much, boss?

Please let the guy work here.
For what it'll cost, it's a no-brainer.

Enough, get back to work.

Don't do this.

I'm begging.

You can't imagine what we went
through together in prison.

You have no idea.

Your hands. They're dirty.
My god, disgusting.

Sir, I promise, I cleaned them.

-Please, I cut them too.
-Quiet.

Come, I'll show you how to clean them.

-Come on!
-Ah! Sir. Please.

-Please
-Don't touch him!

A hero!

-Please, don't. Let me go.
-Get over there.

[intense music playing]

[groaning in pain]

[groans]

[squelching]

[whimpering]

[Esat] We were locked up
with monsters in there.

Have some sympathy.

Huh?

We've all make mistakes and have regrets.

You know all about it, right, sir?

What do you think I know about?
Huh? You better watch it.

-Sorry, boss, you know I'm right.
-I warned you.

If you only knew what he's been through.

I know your story and what you've done.
I know what was done to you.

Keep this up and I'll fucking kill you.

I understand you buried a part of yourself
when your family died.

You killed any kindness in you. I get it!

It's you against the world.
You don't even try to care.

But don't project that onto Baran,
it's not fair.

He's the opposite of what you are.

Musa, Baran's not a killer.

He's not.

He was doing time
for his brother all those years.

His family discarded him.
You should know that…

before judging him.

Think about it.

[doctor] Your brother,
he's not doing well.

It's not a good idea
to transfer him in this state.

I wish we could keep him here.

It would take generations
for my family to repay all of the debt.

But it doesn't really matter
if the hospital's private or not,

he's in a coma, right?

Papa!

Wait, where are you taking my dad?

-Please don't take him away.
-Shh. Calm down, okay.

They're taking him to a better hospital.

-No! I want to go with Papa.
-You're going with me. Let go.

-I want Papa.
-Lidya, stop it! Let him go, alright!

[sobbing]

It's okay, come with me.

There's no one to take care of her.

I can't do it.

You know my brother's condition.

It's very important that Lidya
is with someone she trusts,

for her own well-being.

[car honks]

Psst!

What's going on?

I worked my ass off to fix this baby.

I should get to enjoy it as well, right?

-Get in.
-I'm driving. Move over.

How's the girl, what happened?

It all worked out just like it should.

What do you mean, bro? Just spill it.

I'll tell you later.

Let me drive.

[engine accelerating]

[intense music playing]

[Baran] I have no education.

I can't get a job anywhere.

If I'm being honest with myself,
I'm worthless.

[echo] I'm worthless…

Nothing's more important than your family.

Would you leave your child
with someone like me?

If you send Lydia
into the foster care system,

are you going to have any regrets?
Have you thought it through?

[echo] Have you thought it through?

Have you thought it through?

[engine roaring]

What's going on, bro, slow down? Baran!

I'm completely broke.

-Baran, stop the car!
-I'm a worthless piece of garbage.

I'm worried about my daughter too, Baran.

-[Lidya] Uncle.
-Baran!

[man] Do you consent to sending your niece
into the child foster system?

[Lidya] You and I are so much alike.

[Baran] She won't end up like me.

[music softens]

[melancholy music playing]

[tires screech]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Baran] Lidya?

[panting]

Uncle?

Lidya?

[emotional music playing]

Uncle.

Where did all the furniture go?

I had to sell it.

It's okay.

[gentle music playing]

Don't forget about Baby.

[chuckling]

I wish we still had a TV.

I'd show you my favorite band.

Who's your favorite band?

[Lidya] BTS.

What kind of a name is that? BTS?

-They're Korean.
-Ah?

-You know how to speak Korean?
-No. Does it matter?

[Baran chuckles]

It doesn't. You're right.

I know who your favorite band is.
Papa taught me the songs.

Which band?

[singing in Turkish]

[continues singing]

Alright, it's time to eat.

-[knocking on door]
-[stops singing]

One second, let me get this.

Sorry to bother you.
Your Fatih's younger brother, am I right?

He spoke very highly of you.

First of all,
I'm sorry for your loss. It's terrible.

Thank you, what's this about?

I also just want to say that,
I hope your brother wakes up soon.

Thanks, how can I help you?

I really don't want to bug you,
but I'm your landlord.

I wish the timing was better,
but I have to resolve this problem.

You should have received this
court order last week.

I'm afraid they've reached a decision.

You weren't here to receive it.

You must vacate the apartment in two days.

Rent is two months behind.
I didn't even ask for the updated rate.

I understand. Uh…
Any way that we can keep the apartment?

If you agree to the raise in rent,

and also, you agree to pay their debt,
it's your apartment.

But if you don't want
to take on his debts,

I will forgive them.
That is, if you vacate the property now.

It's your call.

You've been very understanding
with this, sir.

Can you give me a little more time,
just until I find a job?

Uh, well, you just can't take too long.

-Okay, thank you.
-Have a good day.

He's nice, I like him, Uncle.

Mom doesn't think so though.

Let's eat.

Sometimes we feed the cats together.

Do you want yogurt?

-Please.
-Say when.

Perfect.

-Water?
-Go for it.

[chuckles]

-Don't spill it.
-Okay.

-You know what?
-Hm?

One time, me and my dad
were watching X-Men together…

Do you know who he said
was the most powerful superhero?

Hm?

Come on, you tell me.

-Spider-Man?
-Mm-mm.

-So, Iron Man?
-Nope. I'll tell you.

-The most powerful one.
-Who?

It's Repair Man.

He made it up. That's nobody.

It's not made up.

He told me it's you.

Dad said there's nothing you can't fix.

That's why he calls you Repair Man, Uncle.

I really wish you could fix dad now.

Like you fixed Baby.

TIRE REPAIRMAN WANTED

-Hello there. Welcome.
-Thanks.

I was looking for a job.

[song fades]

Good afternoon. Is Esat here?

[Musa] You missed him.

He's running an errand.

Thanks, sir. Have a good one.

How's it going?

You find a job yet?

Nothing yet. No openings.

Yeah. My past scares everyone.

So don't tell them.

If you stop telling them,
then you'll forget too.

I'll never forget.

[Musa] Why not? Try it. It's easy.

[Baran] Not for me.

If I lie about it,
they'll see the truth one day.

When you take the life of another,

you carry their coffin
for the rest of your life.

It's a burden you take
with you everywhere...

Boss.

So listen,
I don't want your advice, alright?

Carrying the burden broke me.

I just couldn't carry
their coffins anymore.

[sighing deeply]

I drank way too much.

I passed out smoking a cigarette.

I opened my eyes…

Everything was on fire.

I burned them.

The house and everyone inside.

Only I survived.

My Serma always said,
"You'll never quit smoking."

But I stopped, Serma.

That night.

My condolences.

[sighs]

[sniffs]

You see that one there?

Which one?

This guy.

You want to work here? Get it running.

I don't want the motorbike.

I want… I wanna get that one running.

You're ambitious.

You got four days.

[whistling]

Hey, who the hell are you?

Hey, asshole! Out!

Come on, bro, what are you doing?

I'm trying to fix it,
but this one's tricky. [laughs]

[Esat] God almighty, this guy.

You're crazy. Ah!

Why is he even trying?

The boss said he won't hire him,
and the cars dead.

Boss, why are you wasting his time?
No one can do it, why get his hopes up?

Did you forget asking me to hire him?
I did what you asked.

I did ask that, you're right.

But I didn't ask you
to make him work for free.

He's getting a good deal. I feed him.

Boss. You're dangling a carrot.

You're keeping him
from finding a real job. Pay the guy.

[car engine stars]

[upbeat rock music playing]

Do it, baby.

Just fire up.

Do it, girl. God help me.

[engine revs]

It's back! Yes!

[Esat] Yes! This is crazy!

How did you do it? Dude, Do you hear that!

[engine revs]

[engine stalls]

Oh shit, come on.

Fuck!

It's okay, man. You gave it your best.
At lease we heard it.

-[music stops]
-[exhales]

Five grand. Every week.

You're tired, go rest today.

Start tomorrow.

You're giving me a job
when it didn't work?

Nobody could fix that.

And you kept going.

Thank you.

My guy!

Dude, don't. Don't hurt my back. Don't.

In two days, you made him a better man.
That was the real work.

She shouldn't have died.

I'll check the ignition system
tomorrow morning.

Of course, you're crazy.

Roll me up a cigarette.
With some coffee and a water.

Ow, don't.

My mom wouldn't allow me have fast food.

But Papa sneaked some for us.

Mm. [chuckles]

I don't want you to get dirty.

Like you said, I smell really bad.

-Surprise.
-[gasps]

I wanted these ones.

-You like them?
-Yes.

[chuckles]

[children yelling happily]

-Get outta here.
-[Lidya] Why'd you do that?

It's my turn. I was waiting.

[Lidya] You didn't have to push me.
I didn't even see you.

[Baran] Are you okay?

That was good. You held your tears in.

That was smart. If you cried,
he'd think you're weak and he's the shit.

But he is a shit.

-Hey. Don't swear, it's inappropriate.
-You just said it to me.

Well, adults can swear sometimes,
but it's better when they don't.

Anyway.

I'm not always going to be here
if something happens.

You need to learn to how to protect
yourself from bullies. Listen up.

On your feet. Come on.

Get your dukes up.

Hit. Hit me.

Uncle! But I'm not supposed to hit.

I'm teaching you how to protect yourself.

Hit my hands. Go.

I promised Mom I'd never hit anyone.

Well I'm too fast anyway. Try it.

See?

-Ugh! Keep the guard up.
-Uncle!

-Keep 'em up.
-Hey. Hi-yah!

[laughing]

[upbeat music playing]

[music fades]

-Are you ready?
-Yeah.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

I got yours.

No, wait, I'll carry it.

-You got your own bag?
-Uh-huh.

Alright.

[emotional music playing]

[Esat] You need sleep to function, man.

[Baran] Don't worry about it.

I'll figure it out.
I really appreciate you helping.

[Esat] Be careful.
Don't let Musa catch you here.

Or we'll both be fired.

[Baran] Tsk! Don't worry.
I found a job around the corner.

I'll work at nights
and save up for a place.

Get a nap in before you work.
If you don't, you'll be exhausted.

I'll get here
before sunrise to pick up Lydia.

She'll go to the hospital.
The nurses will take care of her.

The hospital, are you serious?

She'll hate it there,
it's nothing but sick people.

What else can I do?
Tell me if you have a better idea.

-[Esat] No, I guess you're right.
-[Baran] Pray for me.

Lidya, sweetie.

I have to go work. Don't worry.

And I'll be back soon.

Esat will take good care of you.
Don't be scared.

But Uncle,
there are spiderwebs over there.

Where are they?

Over there.

It's okay.

So what?
Spiders don't deserve to live too?

They have spider families.

Huh? Shouldn't spiders live?

You're right. I'm sorry.

[club music playing from distance]

-What are you doing.
-Sorry, I work here now.

Cleaning bathrooms.

Okay. Go ahead.

[coughing, gagging]

Move.

[vomiting]

[coughing, vomiting]

[sniffing]

What's your deal, man?

Nothing.

Hey, look at me.

If you're bored,
you can come snort a line.

It's alright.

Suit yourself.

[man grunting]

My bad, bro.
I can't get my dick to fit anywhere.

Sorry about that.

I said I'm sorry. What's your problem.

There's no problem. Get lost.

What's that?

Mind your business, okay?

-Mind my business? Really?
-Yeah, bro. It's time to go.

What if I don't want to?

Don't make a scene.

I think I'd like that. Let's make a scene.

-[intense music playing]
-[grunting]

[groaning]

[music continues]

[coughing, gasping]

[music fades]

[Lidya] Dear God, you're so powerful.

They say you can make anything happen.

Well, then, please could you try
making my dad better sooner than later?

He's a good papa.

Please help Uncle Baran.

He's a really good person.

But somebody bad beat him up today.

I pray that his wounds heal quickly.

He takes good care of me.

I've been trying really hard
not to look sad.

And I've been really good.

I make sure not to cry,
so that he won't leave me.

Please, God, don't let us be apart.

And I pray hard that
you're protecting Mom.

She shouldn't be alone or be scared.

Amen.

[dramatic music playing]

[sirens blaring]

Wait here for me, okay? Take Baby.

-I'll be gone for a bit. Here's Baby.
-How long?

-Huh?
-How long?

Until right before sunset.

It'll fly by. Baby's here with you.
Sit over there.

Thank you.

Good.

-Sorry, sir, visitation's over.
-Uh, yeah.

The girl needed her father.
She insisted, that's why we're here.

Why the bag?

Yeah, we decided to take
a few things with us, for her father.

The one in there?

Nurse, please let her stay here.

Just to rest.

I'll come and get her
when I'm done working.

It can't be for long.

I'll let her stay for a few hours.
But you have to pick her up after that.

Thank you, it means a lot.

Morning, boss.

Sorry I'm late.
Won't happen again, promise.

Did someone beat you up?

What happened to your face?

No, sir, I didn't fight anybody.

-It was dark and I fell. On a hill.
-Mm-hm.

Wait a minute.

This is yours, right?

I must have dropped it. Appreciate it.

-Take a day off today.
-Huh?

Take the day off.

You'll mess things up
if your mind isn't sharp.

Go now.

[emotional music playing]

Watch your step.

[Lidya] Where are we going?

[Baran] You'll see soon.

[Lidya] Oof. I need a bath really bad.

-My head's itchy.
-Okay, sweetie.

-Where are we?
-Quiet now.

-Gimme your hairpin.
-[Lidya] What're you gonna do with it?

[lock rattling]

Hi, kitty cat.

-Alright. Come in, Lidya.
-Uncle, why are we here?

To shower, sweetie.

This is wrong, this isn't our house.

This isn't right to just break in.

You're right,
I'm not proud of breaking in.

But did you know the right path,
it's under the shadow of what's wrong.

I'm responsible. Just blame me, okay?

What happens if the owners show up, Uncle?

They won't. They told the neighbors
they're leaving for two days.

I overheard them. Don't worry.

We better say sorry to God
after this or we're bad.

-I agree.
-[chuckles]

Psst, psst. Kitty.

Your food. There.

-[Lidya laughs]
-Wait, my back hurts.

[Baran grunting]

[cell phone ringing]

Great. Someone's calling.

Let me check.

Esat, I better answer. Hello?

[Esat] Bro, get back here right away.

Calm down. What's wrong?

[Esat] The guy renting the shop's
waiting for you. Hurry up.

-I can't keep stalling.
-Tell him we're on our way.

We found it, Lidya.

-Found what?
-Come on.

-What?
-Hurry.

We need to hurry. Let's go.

Careful.

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

Yeah, I'm, uh… the gardener.

Oh, really? Nice to meet you.

Funny, I've been
the gardener for 20 years.

[intense music playing]

Go. Run, run, run.

Run, run. This way.

Hurry, hurry. Come on.

Run, run, run.

Okay go. Hurry. Run.

Shh. Over here, stay down.

Stay down. Okay.

[woman] He pushed you?

[man 1] Where the hell is he?

Help us look. A guy broke into the house.

-Look everywhere. We have to catch him.
-[man 2] Come out now!

-Uncle, why did we have to break in?
-Shh.

Also, we can't forget to apologize to God.

-Shh.
-We deserve punishment.

Okay.

I agree, let's say sorry to him.

God, we apologize to you.

We made a mistake. I'm sorry.

I apologize, but we're good people
who desperately needed to wash up.

In someone else's bathroom, God.

Last time, I promise.

Thank you. Amen.

All good?

My papa would never
have done something like that.

He wouldn't push anyone
and run from the house.

Esat.

-Let's go look at that garage.
-Huh?

What garage, bro? The guy waited for you.

His realtor called.

Another customer gave an offer.
He wouldn't hear me out.

-He left.
-Damn it, man. Really?

Lidya, sweetie, let's get you inside.
I got your bag.

Musa's at the cemetery
so we're in the clear there.

[birds chirping]

Get me some water.

It's over.

I failed.

Let her get some sleep.
Then I'll give her up.

Don't make a snap decision.
Just give it a little more time.

Are you serious right now?
It's not a snap decision.

We snuck into someone's house
like we were thieves.

I made her take a shower
in a strangers place, Esat.

We got caught.

We almost got arrested.

At least they'll take care of her.
They'll give her room and board.

At least she'll have a bed to sleep in.

I tried, man.
I tried, but I failed. I'm out of options.

-She's better without me.
-Uncle Baran.

Lidya?

Look, I think I found us a place.

-What do you mean, sweetie?
-I found a place here.

This man, he had the key.

-He said he's your boss.
-Holy shit, really?

Don't curse in front of a child.
Come on. It's vulgar.

Sorry, boss.

Excuse me, boss.
But Lidya is my niece and um…

-After my brother's accident--
-Stop it.

Stop it, before you give me a headache.

The key opens the storage unit out back.

Nobody's used it for a while.

Unlock it and settle in.
Clean up everything. Make it your own.

That way you won't have to make up
stupid excuses for being late.

[chuckles]

He said there aren't any spiders in there.

I guess where Esat stays
is spider family friendly.

[laughing]

[gentle music playing]

Look at this.

Baby has a friend.

Now she won't have to be alone either.

What happened with Musa,
did you say something?

I didn't talk to him.

Who knows, man. He's getting old.
He's starting to fear the afterlife?

Let me go get you some cleaning supplies.

Be right back.

Look.

I haven't added Papa yet.

I'll wait till he heals up.

I'm really sorry.

I was mean to you.

You did a bad thing,
but it was to help me.

[blows air]

-[chuckles]
-[laughs]

Well, are we good?

We're good.

Alright. We have to get
this place cleaned up ASAP.

-Hmm?
-Let's go?

Let's start, come on. Help me clean up.

-Or that man's gonna be angry with us.
-[laughs]

-Boss.
-[Musa] Huh?

We wasted a lot of energy.

On what?

Turns out the problem's not
the ignition system or the coils.

What is the problem?

You'll never guess.

The gasoline in the tank went bad.

How long since it's fired up?

How did you figure that out, Baran?

[Baran chuckles]

That's crazy,
it didn't cross anyone else's mind.

Baby's idea.

-Oh, shut up.
-[chuckles]

We need to drain the bad gas
and clean the tank up.

After that it's ready. Call the owner.

Good night, sir.

No way…

[mewing]

So you're definitely owned by somebody.

FOR RENT

[Baran] They say
some things can't be fixed.

Like a child's soul

once it's been broken piece by piece.

It's a lie.

If you know where it's broken,
you'll know how to fix it.

Hey.

Guys, what's this? If the boss
sees you drinking, you're fired.

-Did I miss something?
-Don't worry, these beers are from him.

Cheers to the Mustang.

He picked it up?

Wow. It's gone.

Boss.

Have a drink.

-I'm on the clock, I can't drink.
-Just drink it. It's okay.

You've earned it.

You?

[sighs]

I'm on the wagon, you know?

Your cut for the Mustang.

Thank you.

-I gotta do something. Hold this.
-What's going on?

Oh, boss. Catch.

Got it.

[upbeat music playing]

[Baran] Even when life looks
like a dead end street,

a new path can open up out of nowhere.

[line ringing]

It's a long journey.

But it's full of hope.

LİDYA CAR-TALON AUTO

[dog barking in distance]

-[Esat] You're killing it, bro.
-Thanks.

[Esat] That's wild. What a change, man.

It's looking good.

Looks better. Lots to do.
It's getting there, right?

I'm going to give you the room
above the shop floor.

And that's Lidya's room.
What do you think?

Yeah. You're about the only guy
who could build it.

Did you blow through the money yet?
You okay?

Our plan's gonna work. Don't worry.

I got this, man.

You renovated this place in a month.

Congrats.

[Musa] Don't miss and hit the wall.

The paint chips,
I'll hit you right in the bullseye.

Don't worry, boss, we're careful.

-Wait, you need help.
-Huh?

-Hold your wrist like this.
-That's how I hold it.

-[Lidya] No, you don't.
-Perfect.

-Enjoy.
-Thank you.

[Lidya] Hey! I almost forgot.

My dad called me.
He's finally leaving the hospital.

[Esat] I know, Lidya. Your uncle told me.

-Boss Musa.
-Yeah?

Uncle Baran doesn't like tea.

His favorite's Turkish coffee.
A cup of black coffee.

You don't say.

If he wants black coffee,
he can make it himself. Why should I?

Turkish coffee is remembered for 40 years.

Someone told you that story.

-Who? Huh?
-Who do you think?

-Who do you think? Baby told me that.
-Baby told you?

[chuckles]

[cell phone chiming]

[Esat] Lidya. You're up.
Let's finish our game.

Show me again. How am I supposed to throw?

[Lidya] Hold it just like this.
Keep your arm up.

[Fatih] I'm close.
I just entered industrial park.

-Two minutes, sorry.
-No problem.

Esat, can you please
go get Lidya's things?

Lidya, sweetie.

It's time for you to go.

[whimpers softly]

Shh.

What did we talk about?

That I'm not gonna cry.

No crying. We'll be strong.

-[Lidya] Why can't you come with us?
-[Baran] Remember what I told you.

You can come here whenever you want.

Everybody here loves you so much.

-Esat, Boss Musa.
-You're pushing to hard.

Be careful,
you're about to tear it. [sniffs]

I'll see you soon.
It's not goodbye, right?

[clears throat] Get out. I got it.

Boss Musa.

Yes, dear?

Safe travels.

You're leaving, so you don't say that.
The one who stays does.

Safe travels, Lidya. Farewell.

[melancholy music playing]

[Fatih] My love.

Come to papa, sweetie.

[kisses]

Lidya.

-Here's Baby.
-[Fatih] Baran. My brother.

I can't thank you enough.

[Baran sniffs]

[sighing] Let's go.

Shh.

Lidya.

I'm not saying goodbye.

I promise, I'll come see you all the time.

We'll have fun.
Maybe go to the park to the swings,

eat hamburgers together.

You believe me?

Baby wants to stay here.

How are you going to feel
if she's stays behind?

Baby will protect you.

I'll be worried if she's not here.

Look.

My hidden lucky stone.

Don't take it out of Baby.

I won't.

[Fatih] Come here.

Get in, my love.

[Lydia crying]

Stop!

-[Fatih] Lidya, what's wrong, honey?
-Stop!

-[Lydia crying hysterically]
-[emotional music playing]

I love you, Uncle Baran.

I love you too, Lidya.

I love you so much.

Goodbye, Uncle.

[Fatih] Come here.

6 MONTHS LATER

I'm curious about the picture.

I recognize them, but who's the brunette?

-[Lidya] Your girlfriend.
-[Baran] I don't have a girlfriend.

You will in no time.

Baby agrees too.

I had a girl in mind.

This will complete me? The missing piece?

You can't just let
your good looks go to waste anymore.

Stop. Stop eating. You're done.

-Why should I stop now?
-We'll eat at the house.

-Uh-huh.
-Our oven is broken so…

We need Repair Man.
My papa's gonna starve.

Your papa won't starve.

Besides, Repair Man doesn't know
how to fix an oven.

You fixed that huge abandoned garage.

Where'd you learn to say "abandoned"?

[chuckles]

Okay, come on. I'll help you fix it.

Guess what I learned to do.

Papa taught me how to make coffee.

Coffee on me if you come over.

When you drink it,
we'll be friends for 40 years.

We're best friends. Forty years?

It's more like 40,000.

[uplifting music playing]

Let's bounce.

But we can't waste food.

-The cats will eat it.
-Good idea.

You know, we have this neighbor, Gizem.

She loves cats, too.

No cap,
she makes really delicious cookies.

[Baran chuckles]

Let me guess…

Gizem's a brunette?

She is.

If she's home,
maybe we can stop by and say hi to her?

-Stop by?
-Why not?

-Right now?
-If you want to?

-Does she live alone?
-Yeah.

Maybe, alright?

[uplifting music continues]

[Baran] To this day, I haven't met anyone
who can repair things better than her.

I hope that one day,

I can be half as good as she is.

I'm not alone anymore.

I'm not abandoned.

I'm living my life.
