Original subtitles

That's not what I told you, Özgen.

Honey, it's a simple question, okay?

'Cause if that's where the story is going,

you can just fast-forward through the boring details in between.

I don't know why I bother telling you anything.

Oh, never mind her, honey.

Her mind's in the gutter. You can tell me the whole thing.

All right, he got on the plane and sat next to you.

Your hands were about to touch,

and just before they did, he chickened out and pulled it back.

So nothing happened so far.

Okay. All right. Continue.

Well, then...

he dozed off.

Ugh, I knew it.

I knew Deniz would do something really annoying like that.

My version of the story was better,

especially the part where you were kissing with your seat belts on.

That was totally a metaphor, by the way.

You got it, right? You're a pretty smart girl.

I guess he must feel like he's doing you a massive favor,

so he has to make you suffer a little bit for it.

It wouldn't be Deniz without some drama.

My Lord. Annoying.

What else do you expect?

Uh, hey, is he with you now?

We just got to the hotel.

Oh, it's all so romantic.

Yeah, so romantic. So romantic.

Damn. So that's it?

Did he just sleep the whole way there?

No. He woke up for the cake.

Wait, what cake?

Start from the beginning. Spill.

For Ms. Güneş and Mr. Deniz.

- Oh, thank you. - Of course. Enjoy.

Pervin's doing.

You're starting already?

We're nowhere near Cappadocia yet.

Um, may I ask something?

Is this your first time in Cappadocia?

- It is. - Ah, so romantic.

Yeah, it is.

We need to take a photo of this for Pervin.

It's obvious she wants me to post it.

Fine, do it.

You need to be in it too, Deniz.

Oh, let me do it! I can take it.

Here, you hold Cookie. You hold the dog here.

- Oh, um... - Just like that, yeah.

Uh, she can be in the picture too, right?

Oh, ma'am. It's okay. We can manage ourselves.

- She's really doing it. - Um...

Why is he hiding his face?

Don't be embarrassed, son. Don't be shy. Look here.

- Why is he hiding? - It's not 'cause he's shy.

It's 'cause he doesn't wanna be seen.

Oh, goodness.

Ma'am, I think Cookie misses you. Here, you can take her back.

Here she is. Okay. Thanks a lot.

Sorry about that.

Geez Louise.

Sorry...

- I have to know. - Hmm?

Why is he hiding his face? Is he married?

He's not.

But you are dating?

So, why do you think Boran ditched you?

I have no idea. I keep calling him, but he's not picking up.

Isn't that weird?

What if something happened to him?

Uh, do you think maybe he saw Deniz and backed out?

He doesn't know who Deniz is, right?

Whatever. I'm glad he's out of the picture. Good riddance.

Maybe he didn't want to fake being the other man anymore.

That's possible.

All right. Now be honest. Is that everything?

You've got nothing else to tell us about you and Deniz on the plane?

Huh? Güneş? Hmm?

Güneş?

Honey, are you all right?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Uh, we're going to... We'll pretend we're a couple in front of the lawyer.

Then we'll tell him we want to sell the house, and come back. That's it.

All right, love. Well, make sure you keep us posted. Okay?

Yes, and show me the house. I'm dying to see what all this madness is about.

- Özgen. - You are incredible.

Congratulations. Our job is done.

Did Deniz get on the plane?

Yeah, of course he did. Please.

I haven't been reading romance novels for nothing.

Yeah, about that, I can't get any for you.

I kind of missed my flight while trying to distract Boran.

Honestly, how the hell did you pull that off?

- Make way! Move it! - Sir, sit down.

- Move! All right. - Don't stand while we're moving.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

You okay?

Hey, be careful. You almost ran me over.

I wasn't driving it, man.

You all right?

Yeah. Hey, don't touch me.

Unbelievable.

All right. Onward.

If you don't know how to drive a cart, then don't.

Unbelievable.

- Welcome, sir. - Thank you.

Güneş?

Ms. Güneş has boarded.

Ah! Super.

Uh, ticket...

I had it on my phone...

It's not here.

May I see your ID and your ticket please?

Uh, I'm Boran.

Boran Saygun.

I can't let you through without ID.

It's procedure, right?

That's your job, sure.

Hold on. I'm so sorry.

Are you crazy? You took his phone?

Oh, my God. Hakan, seriously?

We're not the mafia.

We're just like the romantic ones.

Unbelievable.

What else could I do? It was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

I'll find a way to get it back to him. It's not like I stole it.

Oh! Hold on, hold on. Deniz is calling now.

I'll call you back.

- Hey, bud. - Hey, Hakan.

Did you get my message?

I'm in Cappadocia.

Really, man? I missed my flight to London waiting for you.

I've gotta do something.

Güneş needs my help. I'll be back soon.

Talk to you later.

Hello there.

Oh, hello.

I'm your attorney, Mahir Temiz.

- Güneş Güner. - It's a pleasure.

Deniz Derenoğlu.

You're Mr. Alpha.

Yeah, that's right.

Nice to meet you.

I guess our first order of business would be to view Ms. Mesude's property.

- Yes, please. - Mm-hmm.

By the way,

please, forgive me,

but the will stipulates that I ask you some personal questions first.

They're about your relationship. I hope that's okay.

- Sure. Fine. - Hmm.

Uh, yeah. No problem. It's totally fine.

There's nothing to hide about our relationship.

No, I didn't think there was a problem per se. It's only that...

I don't know.

Your photographs online

made me think that you guys would be a more affectionate couple, that's all.

But perhaps you have a more formal relationship.

No.

Right.

Don't overdo it.

- Shall we go? - Yeah.

I'll quickly grab my bag.

Certainly.

- Hold my hand. - Hmm?

Hold my hand, will you?

What a genuine display of affection that was.

Stop trying to be funny. Let's go.

Stop pulling me. I'm coming, Güneş.

- Walk in sync, will you? - What?

Left foot, right foot. Come on.

What's wrong with you? Maybe try holding my left hand?

- Aha. Now go. See? It worked. - You're exaggerating.

- Stop it. Come on. - And one, and one.

Hi. Sorry to keep you. Come on. Let's go.

I met Ms. Mesude a year after I moved here.

I came here every day for nine years.

She was a good person.

How long have you been together?

- Two years. - Two years?

Uh-huh.

Uh, well, you see, actually, uh,

what Deniz was trying to say was he courted me for two years.

So, we've been together for about three, three and a half years.

Yeah, like two, three, three and a half years.

- Give or take. - Right.

This is the house.

- What are you doing? - Was I meant to lie?

- Careful not to slip. - Yes, careful, my love.

Don't trip.

God forbid.

Welcome.

Did Ms. Mesude live here?

She did.

She was a very wealthy lady.

Uh, a little bit eccentric.

That make sense. I mean, she left her house to a total stranger.

- Hmm? - Huh?

Honey, I think you must be a bit tired from the flight.

Uh, no, dear. It's just, uh...

He mentioned how eccentric Ms. Mesude was,

and I was just pointing out a fact.

The house is expensive, but it has buyers.

So, we can sell it right away?

No, you can't.

Can we talk about this privately at home later?

Yes, my dear. We can talk about it later.

Later.

If you want to see the house, feel free to look around.

When you're finished,

we can proceed to the next step on Ms. Mesude's program, as per her will.

- Program? - Mm-hmm.

Um, we didn't know about a program. We only knew about the house.

Will there be a ceremony or what?

As I pointed out, Ms. Mesude was really quite eccentric.

Hmm. Um...

Let me see here.

- What's going on? - I don't know.

Ah, here.

And this is a letter from Ms. Mesude to the loving couple.

Hmm.

For you. Here.

Oh, right. Yes, thank you.

Since you're a loving couple.

Um. [clears throat] Mm-hmm.

- My love. - Hmm. Darling.

Sweetheart.

Honeybunch.

- You're pushing it. - Yep.

What's this letter all about?

I don't understand why you agree to everything.

We haven't agreed to anything yet.

Especially you.

Why did you come with me here in the first place, huh?

Why did you come with me if you were going to be so difficult?

You know I'm terrible at playing games, Güneş.

Yeah, as if I'm some kind of pro at it.

I asked the poor bellhop,

"Do you have a boyfriend like me?" And he said he had a girlfriend.

He was so embarrassed, he forgot his tip.

Stop overdoing it.

Do you think we can put the house on the market tomorrow?

No, it's not going to be that easy.

Why not?

It has historical value.

It won't be an easy sell.

You won't be able to do anything without a permit.

Good thing I'm an architect. You lucked out.

Yeah, lucky me. I'm here with an architect.

Deniz, did you really just come here to help me sell the house?

There was no other reason?

Yeah, I wanted to help your sister out.

What other reason would I have, huh? There isn't one.

I don't know.

Okay.

Um, what do you think you are doing?

I was hoping to take a shower.

I need to work on my article. Get undressed in there.

Why? Am I distracting you or something?

Getting all hot and bothered?

Why don't you just look out the window and start typing?

Do whatever you want, okay?

Whatever you want.

I'll do that.

We did it!

We did it.

- Amazing, right? It was really good, huh? - Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

At least we didn't embarrass ourselves. Right?

What are you talking about? Everyone loved it.

- Really? - Bravo.

- Thank you. - That was for you, Ozan!

- Bravo. - Bravo.

- Did we suck? - No, you were great.

- You guys were amazing. - You liked it?

- You were so hot out there. - I honestly don't know how we sounded.

You're next. What are you singing?

- You want me to sing? Not really my thing. - I want you to sing.

Oh, it's not your thing, huh?

Everyone in here has gotta sing.

Wait, what kind of rule is that? You just made that up.

We're gonna call it a night.

You guys wanna stay a bit longer, or you wanna share a ride?

Deniz still has to serenade me.

- Seriously? - Seriously.

Uh-oh.

Why don't you do things like that for me, Ozan?

- Serenade? - Yeah. Sing me a song.

No way. I'm bad. Trust me.

I'd love it.

Look, I'm bored.

Let's just go.

- Okay. All right, guess we're going. - Good night.

- Good night then. Give me my bag, dear. - Here.

- Kisses for you all. - See you.

See you around.

Good night.

This guy is such a buzz-kill.

He's such a douchebag.

I mean, the more I see that guy, the more I like Deniz. No offense.

You don't mean that.

I do. He's a dick. Okay. I'm heading out too.

I'm gonna go find a man who will sing me straight into bed.

You guys are boring.

- Good luck. - See?

So, are you gonna sing or what?

No, really. You don't want me to do that. I can't sing.

Of course you can. What if we found a song that you like?

Look, I really can't sing.

Please, you didn't even look. Come on.

You go choose one. You can sing.

And I'll listen. I'm a great listener.

- You want me to sing for you? - Oh, yeah.

- Should I? - Which song?

I'll go and pick one.

- Surprise? Love it. - That's right.

Can I get another?

Sure thing.

Wow, you can sing really good, baby. Come, let's sing together.

It's no fun alone. Come on, baby. Me and you.

Come on. I'm just trying to talk to you. Don't be a bitch like that.

Oh!

What, are you some kind of whore?

Hey!

Wait, don't!

Dear Güneş.

If you are reading this letter,

it means that I've already become a flower.

I've become rain.

I've become one with the valley.

Thank you for coming.

As my end nears,

I've begun to find solace in your writing and in following your journey of love.

Across this ancient land, the skilled craftspeople

have passed down their knowledge and wisdom over countless generations.

Or, lent a hand, if you will.

I've always believed that the ability to love is also a skill.

I can see that not only do you have that skill,

but you inspire others to develop it.

You did that for me.

In my final moments,

you rekindled my hope that love was not a thing that had been lost.

- So, I wanted you to have... - ...my most precious possession.

My well-loved but very old house.

But before that, if you agree,

I'd like to take you on a journey.

This will be my way of defining love to you, like you do in your articles.

I am confident that your love will breathe life into this ancient place

and that you will see love from my perspective

as you proceed along the path I've laid out for you.

At every stop, I will reach out to you with a letter.

I really hope you will take this trip.

Mesude.

Güneş?

- Mr. Rauf. - Deniz.

What business do we have with homes in Cappadocia, Deniz?

I understand you inquired about the heritage status of one.

Uh, that's right. Yes.

Well, I mean, I wanted some advice from our guys about an inheritance case.

I heard you didn't go to London, Deniz.

Uh... More like I couldn't.

Uh, unfortunately, I missed my flight, so I postponed it.

Deniz, listen. I told you at the last meeting.

Your private life is your own business.

I like Güneş too.

You're the most experienced architect at our firm.

I want to trust you on this London job.

Uh, of course. Of course you can, Mr. Rauf. You can count on me.

I won't ask you what was so important

that you postponed the meeting in London, Deniz.

Time is not on our side.

Please do not make me have to call you about this again.

Like I said, you can trust me, sir. I got this. Okay?

Okay. See you.

All right, sir.

What am I doing here?

Shall I come over?

I should go? Should I come or not?

Forget it. I'm coming.

I'm going in.

- ...would be better. - Really?

Hakan.

Özgen.

Who is this woman?

Özgen, calm down.

Uh, pardon me. What is going on?

- Who are you? - What's with the attitude? I don't get it.

- It's okay. Özgen. - Özgen, what?

Get my name out of your mouth.

Instead, why don't you tell me her name right now,

or I'll give her one? I'm sure I can make something up.

Who is this rude lady?

Wait a second. You're dating both of us at the same time? This is unbelievable.

Yeah, well, there's nothing you can do about it.

Now get the hell out, you stupid cow.

I was dating him first, so beat it, baby.

- Fuck off! - Excuse me, but you have to be so vulgar?

Sorry, but I have no interest in dating someone

who would date a terrible woman like her, Hakan.

Beste, wait a minute.

- Beste-- - Beat it, Beste.

I'll kick your ass if I see you together with him again.

Özgen, what have you done?

I genuinely liked her.

- You did? - Özgen.

What did you do, Özgen?

Why were you making those stupid faces then?

You were totally telling me to come in.

I was telling you not to come.

You totally waved for me to come in. I saw you from all the way over there.

Oh, what? Okay, fine. Let's go and explain it to her.

Let's tell her it was all a sick joke between us, okay?

Actually, let me do it.

Don't do that. Honestly.

What would we tell her anyway? The truth?

"My buddy Özgen waits close by to cut my boring dates short"?

Would we say that?

No, I guess not.

I'm really sorry.

I'm so sorry. I messed up.

Why am I apologizing?

Why should I? I mean, you heard what she called me, didn't you?

Yeah, well, you're the one who started it.

Beste was different.

Ah!

Beste was different, hmm?

Are you really taking her side?

Özgen, I said I really liked her. What is it that you don't get about that?

You liked her?

Oh, congratulations.

You ruined it.

I rarely meet somebody that I like, you know?

Now she's gone for good.

Damn it!

Hey, Deniz.

Mesude gave us some addresses in her letter.

I wish she had just given us the deed and saved us all this trouble.

- Are you all right? Is something wrong? - Nope. No, I'm just fine.

What addresses?

Her will states that we have to visit these places.

I guess it's some kind of itinerary.

As a couple?

She wanted us to visit them as a couple, right?

I thought we were just gonna sell the house and go back.

Deniz, the woman left us her house.

The least we can do is honor her last wishes, all right?

Güneş, seriously.

How long are we gonna go along with this stranger's weird game?

Listen, I realize you have things you need to do, but I really wanna do this.

I'm not comfortable getting the house without it.

We'll just go visit these places. What's wrong with that?

I get that, but how long is this going to last?

Listen. Why don't we just tell the attorney that I'm an architect

and that we'll sell the house properly?

How about we do that?

How about this instead?

You stay here, and I'll go.

All right, fine. Just hang on a sec.

I'm coming. I'm coming with you, okay? Just give me a minute.

Boran?

- Fikret, right? - Um, yes. I'm Fikret.

Where's my wallet?

Uh, here.

I'm sorry. There's been a mix-up.

I swear I didn't steal it.

Really?

How much?

How much for what?

You found my phone and wallet. How much money do you want for it?

No. I don't need anything. Honest, you keep it.

You don't need to play games with me, okay? You suck at it anyway.

Tell me how much you want, and I'll give it to you.

Pretending to bump into me and all. It was totally staged.

What's going on?

What the hell is the matter with you, dude?

Look, I brought you your stuff in good faith. Stop it.

Oh, really? Who knows what you want?

For all I know, you looked me up on the internet and saw who I was.

You saw I was wealthy, and now you're here to try to squeeze some money out of me.

Am I supposed to believe you don't know I'm the son of a media mogul?

Huh? You're just a Good Samaritan.

What are you saying?

I really don't give a shit who the hell you are,

or how much money you have, man.

- Listen. - What?

My girlfriend is all alone. She went to Cappadocia by herself 'cause of you, dude.

I missed my flight too.

- Where were you going? - London.

More lies. Why were you in the domestic lounge then?

Um, why do you think I was in a hurry?

That's bullshit.

Whoa. Hold on. Are you counting your money?

What? I thought money wasn't an issue, Fikret.

- Boran. - Huh?

Seems like you're trying to pick a fight.

You trying to get me to punch you in the face?

What kind of a person are you?

What?

- One hand on the inside, - Like this?

Yes, that's how you hold it. Now, pull up.

- Can you please help her? She's clumsy. - Shut up.

I don't think she can do it.

Stop it. Throw it there, not at me.

Hey. I think there's something on your nose.

Release your foot and take it to the side.

Yeah, just release. Don't leave it spinning...

Bring it up. Excellent.

Oh, look at yours. It's all wavy.

As if yours is any better.

- You've got the leaning tower of Güneş. - Shut up. It looks good.

Yeah, right.

Stop, Deniz! Look!

There. Look.

Oh, wait. You missed a spot.

- Come on. - There. I fixed it for you.

See?

Ms. Mesude's letter.

Thanks so much.

No answer.

- Who's not answering? - She's not.

Who's she?

Huh?

Güneş. My girlfriend.

Doesn't she care what happened to me, Fikret? Huh?

Dude, she for sure cares about you.

I saw like 15 missed calls from her on there. Come on!

Why didn't you answer my telephone then?

You should have told her that you took my phone at the airport by mistake.

And you could have called your girlfriend

before you counted your money, is all I'm saying.

Fikret.

- Hmm? - Man.

Come here.

I wanna tell you something.

This is a big question.

You...

When was the last time that you did something for someone

where you expected nothing in return?

Though I doubt that you would do anything like that.

Okay, uh, has someone never done something for you expecting nothing?

Ah! Of course.

Sure.

If someone is doing something without any expectation,

it means that they care about you.

Take me, for example. I care about Güneş so very much.

Yeah.

You really do care.

Come here. Come a little closer. One more thing, okay?

What about if... if this girl...

You... You love her. You...

You'd drop everything to help her, right?

Yeah, when someone just drops everything and rushes to your house

to save your naked ass from another girl. Same thing, right?

Exactly. If you find someone like that, you treasure her, Fikret.

Yeah. It's important.

You got that right.

I let Özgen down.

Hmm? It happens to everyone, bro.

No one is perfect.

Just look at me.

Do you have any idea where I proposed to her?

- A retirement home. - You're joking.

Dude!

A terrible choice. Really.

Wait a sec. Hold on.

I'm gonna go now. I'm gonna go to Cappadocia, okay?

And I'm gonna propose to her again.

Get out of here then.

I'm going.

- We'll be in touch, buddy. - Sure thing.

- See you later. - Keep in touch.

Poor guy.

You can't be serious.

- Come on, please. - Okay, okay, okay.

This is the place. We're here.

Oh, wow!

Stunning, isn't it?

Sure is.

Millions of years ago, these fairy chimneys--

- Hello. - Hello. Welcome.

...were formed by erosion.

There's also data that suggests that lava flowed from the mountain...

Ms. Mesude's letter for you.

Thanks so much.

Aren't you gonna open it?

Ever since I read her first letter,

I keep wondering if I'm gonna end up just like her.

You afraid you end up rich enough to leave a house to a stranger?

No. Of being alone.

Of being so alone that you leave your house

full of all of your memories to a total stranger.

You aren't alone. You have me.

And what happens when we go back?

Are we going to go our separate ways?

Mesude is so romantic.

As if love is like some magical hot air balloon ride.

Let's jump in one first and remember what it feels like to fly.

That was just a metaphor.

Is that really what you took from that?

Wait.

You serious about this?

I'm dead serious.

So we're really doing it?

Yeah, why not?

You're opening up to this adventure?

Looks that way.

Wait up.

Hey, sir. Uh, isn't the flame a bit strong?

Don't worry about it. Enjoy the view.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it would still ascend even if you dialed it down a bit.

It's all part of the show, but I don't get why it has to be so over the top.

Oh, just lighten up, okay?

Look around you. You can't deny the view is amazing.

Really, just look around. It's beautiful.

It really is.

Hey.

You look amazing.

Why, thank you.

You're not so bad yourself.

By the way, I just saw Mahir and that means he'll be watching us too.

For sure. I mean, we are the guests of honor.

Where is he anyway?

I saw him over there, flirting with some woman.

Mahir is tearing up the dance floor.

Has he found someone?

It would be good if he did. Maybe he'll leave us alone tonight.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Whoa! That's true love over there.

What do you mean?

Pe-Pervin. That's Pervin.

- Who? - Pervin is here. Pervin!

Surprise.

Oh, excuse me.

My darlings.

How's it going?

Good. What's this?

Do you guys know each other?

We met thanks to you two.

- While we were organizing your trip. - Yeah.

- We just found ourselves getting closer. - Yeah.

Next thing you know, we're texting

and sending photographs to each other every day.

- Yeah. - Cool, right? Wow!

What kind of photographs were they?

Pervin?

Hmm?

Mahir still thinks Deniz and I are a couple, right?

Aren't you?

I hear you're inseparable.

You're together all the time, huh?

- Of course we are. - Fingers crossed for us.

Listen. Guess you also found inspiration for the article.

Love is such a beautiful thing, you guys.

It's so beautiful.

Should we get a refill, darling?

- Oh, go on. - Great.

See you later. I'm gonna fill my cup.

- Bye. - See you.

Have fun tonight.

You guys too.

- You want a-- - A drink.

Margarita?

Yeah. I'll hook us up.

It's that way.

So you gonna wreck this place too?

I don't want any trouble tonight, mister.

The night is long, Güneş. And you're nothing but trouble.

It's my middle name, Deniz.

Well, in that case...

You wanna dance?

I'll just hold your hand so you don't fall.

I won't fall. You'll catch me.

Whoo!

Bravo! Bravo!

Those are some nice moves you've got.

No question he believes we're a couple now.

Oh, so this was all just a show? Just pretend? You had zero fun at all?

No.

I'm glad that we're here.

We can go back tomorrow if someone is waiting for you.

There is someone I've been meaning to break up with.

It's so late, we're probably gonna see the hot air balloons

at sunrise as we go back to the hotel.

I wanna go see that.

Seriously?

I'm serious, but I'm also tipsy.

All right then.

Let's go see the hot air balloons tipsy.

I have a confession.

Don't hold it against me though. Still tipsy.

Okay.

I was hoping you would come.

I'm glad you did.

Then I have a confession to make too.

I heard your podcast.

You have nothing to say?

You've already heard what I have to say.

You had no problem talking to the host and all those listeners.

Oh, Deniz. God! Where is this going?

Is this about followers again, really?

No, no. It's nothing like that. I didn't mean that. Um...

I liked it a lot.

I mean, I really liked it.

That means a lot.

So, um... So you're finally saying you approve of my job?

Wait. Is this gonna turn into a fight about that again?

- Is that what's happening? - No.

That day at the park.

Tonight was just like that day, one I'll never forget.

We really got caught up in this game.

We tricked the attorney. Game's over.

Guess we can go back today.

- Deniz, hold on. - Uh, let's go back to the house.

Sleep on it. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

I'll take the couch. You get some rest. Good night.

Deniz.

Deniz.

Deniz.

Can we just talk for a second?

Güneş. Um...

I'm not up for it right now.

Can we talk later?

But you are dating?

Why are you here, Deniz?

I wanted to help you with your sister's college tuition.

You wouldn't accept the money, so here I am.

I wanted to be with you.

I'm here.

Güneş.

Boran?

I didn't want you to be alone.

What's wrong?

Aren't you happy to see me?

I told them we were a couple, but they didn't believe me.

Can you tell them to hand over the room keys so we can go?

I'm so exhausted.
