1
00:01:47,126 --> 00:01:48,626
This is
2
00:01:49,543 --> 00:01:50,876
our cosmos,
3
00:01:52,084 --> 00:01:53,459
our world,
4
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:56,709
our country,
5
00:01:58,543 --> 00:02:00,251
our magnificent Earth.
6
00:02:01,543 --> 00:02:03,793
A place where words
have no meaning.
7
00:02:04,793 --> 00:02:07,626
The silent cry
of our inner infinity.
8
00:02:11,793 --> 00:02:13,876
Where everything begins and ends.
9
00:02:15,543 --> 00:02:17,334
Let the darkness come!
10
00:03:17,501 --> 00:03:18,626
Thank you.
11
00:03:19,709 --> 00:03:22,751
Congratulations!
You were all fantastic.
12
00:03:23,501 --> 00:03:25,793
Everyone, the Governor
was in the audience.
13
00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:28,793
Please stay here
for a group photo.
14
00:03:33,459 --> 00:03:34,459
Thank you.
15
00:03:39,126 --> 00:03:40,334
The play was wonderful.
16
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:44,709
Professor?
There you are.
17
00:03:46,251 --> 00:03:47,876
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
18
00:03:50,084 --> 00:03:53,334
Let's take a photo together.
Where's Derya?
19
00:04:17,834 --> 00:04:20,334
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
20
00:04:22,043 --> 00:04:23,543
Mr Aziz.
- Yes?
21
00:04:23,709 --> 00:04:27,000
The play was wonderful. Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
22
00:04:27,334 --> 00:04:30,043
My husband and I loved it.
- Thank you.
23
00:04:30,209 --> 00:04:32,793
There were some
really important observations in it.
24
00:04:33,084 --> 00:04:34,709
People are hungry.
25
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:38,459
They're tired of
those shallow TV dramas.
- Fikret?
26
00:04:38,625 --> 00:04:39,375
Yes.
27
00:04:39,543 --> 00:04:43,584
Have you met Fikret Kocabey?
A university colleague and fellow theatre-maker.
28
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:46,584
And an expert
on social and physical hunger.
29
00:04:46,750 --> 00:04:49,959
I'll go and find Derya. Have a good evening.
- You too.
30
00:04:50,875 --> 00:04:53,209
Brother, you're coming to Beyzade, right?
- Of course.
31
00:04:53,375 --> 00:04:55,125
Don't disappear on us.
32
00:04:55,834 --> 00:04:59,209
Mr Aziz,
excuse me.
33
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:04,125
I've been waiting for a while.
Do you have a moment?
34
00:05:07,293 --> 00:05:11,000
Derya, the Governor's waiting
to take a photo with you.
35
00:05:11,168 --> 00:05:12,959
It'll only take five minutes.
36
00:05:14,459 --> 00:05:16,543
He'd be delighted
to see you.
37
00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:40,918
Security forces have responded
to the terrorist attacks
38
00:05:41,084 --> 00:05:43,625
aimed at destabilising
the country.
39
00:05:44,209 --> 00:05:50,168
Fighting continues in eastern Anatolia,
while demonstrations spread across many cities.
40
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:52,668
Where exactly in Ayrancı
are you headed?
41
00:05:53,084 --> 00:05:55,293
Do you know Güvenlik Street?
- Yes.
42
00:05:55,625 --> 00:05:57,750
Drop us off
at Melis Patisserie.
43
00:05:57,918 --> 00:06:01,209
Excuse me, could you
turn the radio down?
44
00:06:01,375 --> 00:06:04,293
You can barely hear it.
- Then turn it off.
45
00:06:04,875 --> 00:06:06,000
Okay.
46
00:06:11,543 --> 00:06:12,709
What's wrong?
47
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:14,875
Nothing.
48
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:17,668
Are you sure?
Something's bothering you.
49
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:21,334
He turns up late
to the performance,
50
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,793
takes forever
to settle in with his entourage,
51
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:28,084
and then doesn't even
silence his phone. Unbelievable.
52
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,125
That phone rang three times.
Three times!
53
00:06:31,293 --> 00:06:34,500
Do you think he cared about the play?
He just wanted the photos.
54
00:06:35,209 --> 00:06:36,750
I'm so sick of it.
55
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,543
Everyone was looking for me.
Yavuz, Nisa, Serkan. Unbelievable.
56
00:06:46,668 --> 00:06:47,709
Look at me.
57
00:06:49,209 --> 00:06:50,334
You were brilliant.
58
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:55,084
Really. You kept exactly the same rhythm
as in rehearsals. It was wonderful.
59
00:06:55,250 --> 00:06:58,793
I don't know.
The second act starts too slowly.
60
00:06:59,125 --> 00:07:01,043
Trust me.
It was very good.
61
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:09,834
You're not in bed yet?
62
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,959
Welcome back to
"Mum's Silly Questions."
63
00:07:12,668 --> 00:07:15,459
If you're still awake,
you could've come to the premiere.
64
00:07:15,625 --> 00:07:16,959
I don't know.
65
00:07:18,418 --> 00:07:24,375
Mum and Dad have created something
the whole city wants to see.
66
00:07:24,625 --> 00:07:26,668
Doesn't that
make you curious?
67
00:07:26,834 --> 00:07:29,750
Then perform
the highlights for me now.
68
00:07:29,918 --> 00:07:31,709
Please.
Come on.
69
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:33,875
What's that?
Who sent it?
70
00:07:34,043 --> 00:07:35,625
Maybe the Governor?
71
00:07:37,293 --> 00:07:41,334
Everyone pinches my cheeks and says,
"My, haven't you grown."
72
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:43,500
As if
I'm not even there.
73
00:07:43,668 --> 00:07:47,125
Who does that? Your hair's greasy.
- Everyone. Fikret, Nisa...
74
00:07:47,543 --> 00:07:50,625
It's traumatising.
- The burden of being so loved.
75
00:07:50,793 --> 00:07:52,834
Not as much as
your three-hour plays.
76
00:07:54,834 --> 00:07:56,709
Aziz,
did you hear that?
77
00:07:57,209 --> 00:08:00,125
I'm only quoting
what your father says.
78
00:08:00,543 --> 00:08:03,334
An hour would be enough.
You're not saving the world.
79
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:05,459
Actually, we are.
80
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:07,709
Are you joking?
- No.
81
00:08:08,918 --> 00:08:11,625
Do you really think
theatre can save the world?
82
00:08:11,793 --> 00:08:13,000
Yes, I do.
83
00:08:15,043 --> 00:08:16,043
What?
84
00:08:16,875 --> 00:08:18,084
Go to your room.
85
00:08:19,459 --> 00:08:21,959
Leave us alone.
- Love you too, Dad.
86
00:08:25,918 --> 00:08:27,668
Cheers.
- Cheers.
87
00:08:33,043 --> 00:08:34,250
By the way,
88
00:08:35,043 --> 00:08:37,293
after the play,
a woman came up to me.
89
00:08:37,832 --> 00:08:39,043
What woman?
90
00:08:39,207 --> 00:08:42,293
An attractive woman in her fifties,
smartly dressed.
91
00:08:42,668 --> 00:08:44,293
Blonde,
but not naturally.
92
00:08:45,207 --> 00:08:47,918
She wanted to congratulate you,
but couldn't find you.
93
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Right.
94
00:08:53,957 --> 00:08:56,543
She's a TV talent agent
from Istanbul.
95
00:08:56,832 --> 00:08:58,625
She said to get in touch
if you're ever there.
96
00:08:59,750 --> 00:09:01,332
These days,
everyone's an agent.
97
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:04,957
Maybe we should become agents.
They make more than we do.
98
00:09:06,332 --> 00:09:09,832
She came all the way from Istanbul
just to see you. She seemed polite.
99
00:09:10,207 --> 00:09:14,000
Politeness is part of the job.
They're the pimps of our industry.
100
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:16,332
Then what does that
make you actors?
101
00:09:18,375 --> 00:09:20,582
I'm going for a shower.
- Mind if I join you?
102
00:09:21,043 --> 00:09:23,043
We'll see
what can be arranged.
103
00:09:23,957 --> 00:09:25,250
Call my agent.
104
00:09:49,832 --> 00:09:52,332
No to war!
105
00:10:35,625 --> 00:10:37,168
Is no one else coming?
106
00:10:37,918 --> 00:10:40,293
Everyone else
is at the protest.
107
00:10:40,793 --> 00:10:43,750
Then why aren't you there?
- Are we allowed to go?
108
00:10:43,918 --> 00:10:45,418
Everyone else
has gone.
109
00:10:46,125 --> 00:10:47,582
So we can go?
110
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:48,918
I don't know.
111
00:10:49,875 --> 00:10:54,207
What can I say? If you want to go,
go. This is a university.
112
00:10:57,082 --> 00:10:58,293
I'm going.
113
00:11:02,250 --> 00:11:03,457
Well...
114
00:11:06,043 --> 00:11:07,207
What about you?
115
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:10,625
We're...
here for class.
116
00:11:11,250 --> 00:11:12,375
Everyone,
117
00:11:12,918 --> 00:11:16,125
if you haven't experienced
our state's theatre firsthand,
118
00:11:16,332 --> 00:11:18,957
I can't teach you anything
about dramaturgy.
119
00:11:19,125 --> 00:11:20,793
Don't miss it.
120
00:11:20,957 --> 00:11:23,875
With your permission,
I'll go too.
- Go ahead.
121
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:25,918
See you later.
122
00:11:26,832 --> 00:11:27,832
Hurry up.
123
00:11:30,125 --> 00:11:31,125
Well?
124
00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:33,250
Anyone else?
125
00:11:34,832 --> 00:11:36,832
I'd rather
stay here.
126
00:11:37,543 --> 00:11:41,543
Me too.
- We're here to learn.
127
00:11:43,043 --> 00:11:44,043
To learn.
128
00:12:01,250 --> 00:12:02,375
So what now?
129
00:12:03,832 --> 00:12:04,957
We wait.
130
00:12:05,543 --> 00:12:06,625
For what?
131
00:12:09,207 --> 00:12:10,332
For Godot.
132
00:12:16,043 --> 00:12:17,082
Brother?
133
00:12:18,043 --> 00:12:19,457
Fiko, come in.
134
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:23,125
How was Beyzade?
135
00:12:23,543 --> 00:12:25,082
Tell me the gossip.
136
00:12:25,918 --> 00:12:27,082
Brother.
137
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:28,625
What's wrong?
138
00:12:29,332 --> 00:12:31,207
You haven't heard,
have you?
139
00:12:32,750 --> 00:12:34,043
Heard what?
140
00:12:35,668 --> 00:12:38,207
Devin, Doğa,
Olgay, Deniz and Nilsu
141
00:12:38,375 --> 00:12:42,332
go to a café
to celebrate a friend's birthday.
142
00:12:42,750 --> 00:12:47,418
The following is known
about the order in which they arrive:
143
00:12:47,625 --> 00:12:50,293
Nilsu isn't the first to arrive.
144
00:12:50,668 --> 00:12:53,707
Olgay arrives
shortly before Deniz...
145
00:13:07,625 --> 00:13:09,418
Hello.
- Hi.
146
00:13:10,207 --> 00:13:12,125
Pelin, how are you?
- Good...
147
00:13:12,793 --> 00:13:14,918
Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
148
00:13:15,375 --> 00:13:18,875
Can we take a photo together?
- Oh, come on.
149
00:13:19,043 --> 00:13:20,957
Of course.
- My dad's a big fan.
150
00:13:21,625 --> 00:13:24,125
Give him my regards.
- Come on, take the photo.
151
00:13:24,332 --> 00:13:25,418
Ugh.
152
00:13:31,207 --> 00:13:32,375
How embarrassing.
153
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,625
How about a pizza?
- We're not hungry.
154
00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:40,125
Who's "we"?
155
00:13:41,793 --> 00:13:43,168
Wait, wait.
156
00:13:46,750 --> 00:13:48,625
Is this a mosque?
157
00:13:48,793 --> 00:13:50,082
Probably a funeral.
158
00:13:54,043 --> 00:13:57,082
What's going on here?
- Don't ask. The others are inside.
159
00:14:00,250 --> 00:14:01,668
Good evening, everyone.
160
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:07,457
Hi, everyone.
Good to see you.
161
00:14:09,457 --> 00:14:12,750
Hi, Derya. How are you?
- Fine, but...
162
00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:17,918
Sorry for turning up unannounced.
- We brought pizza. Are you hungry?
163
00:14:18,207 --> 00:14:20,543
We're fine, thanks.
- I could eat something.
164
00:14:21,207 --> 00:14:23,832
Shall I heat up
some courgette fritters?
165
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,750
You must be tired. I'll do it.
- Not at all. But what's going on?
166
00:14:29,918 --> 00:14:33,668
Everyone got one:
Saliha, Gamze, Cüneyt...
167
00:14:34,082 --> 00:14:36,668
I told you,
there's a pattern to it.
168
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,543
It's obvious.
- It's all being done systematically.
169
00:14:40,793 --> 00:14:42,707
Everyone,
what's going on?
170
00:14:43,043 --> 00:14:44,293
Will someone fill me in?
171
00:14:45,375 --> 00:14:47,250
They've suspended all of us.
172
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:54,000
Our courses were cancelled,
enrolments were stopped,
173
00:14:54,168 --> 00:14:55,793
and our contracts terminated.
174
00:14:56,500 --> 00:15:02,000
"...because you taught only six
of the required twelve hours per week..."
175
00:15:03,375 --> 00:15:06,668
"...condescending
and insulting remarks
176
00:15:07,668 --> 00:15:10,082
that violated
personal rights."
177
00:15:10,832 --> 00:15:14,082
It's probably because of
our stance on the war.
178
00:15:14,543 --> 00:15:17,418
I spoke to Kadriye.
Tomorrow we'll see the rector.
179
00:15:17,582 --> 00:15:19,168
Kadriye?
- From law.
180
00:15:19,332 --> 00:15:23,418
The Maoist legal scholar.
- What's the rector supposed to do?
181
00:15:24,207 --> 00:15:27,293
What do you mean?
- She signed the letter herself.
182
00:15:30,668 --> 00:15:32,000
So sweet.
183
00:15:32,625 --> 00:15:34,625
She's really grown up.
184
00:15:55,875 --> 00:15:57,250
What time is it?
185
00:15:57,625 --> 00:15:58,668
Almost three.
186
00:16:01,082 --> 00:16:02,457
Put that thing away.
187
00:16:04,875 --> 00:16:06,543
We're organising.
188
00:16:07,250 --> 00:16:09,125
There's no point
trying to sleep anyway.
189
00:16:12,082 --> 00:16:15,082
But you need to sleep.
There's a lot to do tomorrow.
190
00:16:16,082 --> 00:16:19,707
It's the tension, Derya.
- Do you think I don't know that?
191
00:16:21,332 --> 00:16:25,293
How does it go? Don't fear the problem,
fear fear itself!
192
00:16:28,207 --> 00:16:29,750
Tomorrow is another day.
193
00:16:31,832 --> 00:16:34,250
That kind of talk
is what got us into this mess.
194
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,834
Have a good day, Mr Hikmet.
- You too, Ms Derya.
195
00:17:39,666 --> 00:17:42,250
Derya.
- I'm just getting a coffee.
196
00:17:42,709 --> 00:17:44,916
Derya, can you take a quick look?
- Yes, yes.
197
00:18:03,875 --> 00:18:05,625
INCORRECT PASSWORD
198
00:18:09,459 --> 00:18:10,666
Welcome, Derya.
199
00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:16,041
We're all meeting now.
- Like I said, coffee first.
200
00:18:17,916 --> 00:18:19,250
We're waiting for you.
201
00:18:30,291 --> 00:18:31,666
Brother, we're ready.
202
00:18:32,334 --> 00:18:33,416
Okay.
203
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:47,666
Now that Derya is here,
we can begin.
204
00:18:49,959 --> 00:18:53,709
Everyone, unfortunately,
I have some bad news.
205
00:18:54,625 --> 00:18:56,834
They're deliberately
keeping us waiting.
206
00:18:57,125 --> 00:18:59,625
Half an hour.
It's outrageous.
207
00:19:08,041 --> 00:19:09,791
Come in.
- Come on.
208
00:19:14,166 --> 00:19:16,375
We've received a warning
from above.
209
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:19,084
We're cancelling the play.
210
00:19:20,084 --> 00:19:22,209
What?
- Temporarily.
211
00:19:23,375 --> 00:19:27,291
Aziz's play?
- Yes, we're taking it off for now.
212
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:28,666
Why?
213
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:31,959
Does Aziz know yet?
214
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,375
He already knows, doesn't he?
215
00:19:35,125 --> 00:19:36,625
I assume so.
216
00:19:37,084 --> 00:19:40,166
Do you realise what kind of position
you're putting your colleagues in?
217
00:19:40,334 --> 00:19:42,791
You're presenting them
with a fait accompli.
218
00:19:42,959 --> 00:19:46,125
Ms Kadriye,
don't worry. I'm aware of it.
219
00:19:46,625 --> 00:19:49,334
But I had nothing to do
with these letters.
220
00:19:49,625 --> 00:19:52,916
Everyone, believe me,
we tried everything.
221
00:19:53,625 --> 00:19:58,125
But under the circumstances, we unfortunately
have to cancel the play for now.
222
00:19:58,291 --> 00:20:01,875
From Tuesday, we'll be performing
"Layla and Majnun" again.
223
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:03,750
Is this a joke?
224
00:20:05,459 --> 00:20:06,666
Ms Zeynep.
225
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,750
What circumstances exactly?
Please explain them to us.
226
00:20:13,125 --> 00:20:15,625
I mean
the current political climate.
227
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Meaning what?
228
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:20,791
You know these are sensitive times.
- Explain it to us.
229
00:20:21,250 --> 00:20:24,250
The letters could have come from
the Education or Interior Ministry.
230
00:20:24,416 --> 00:20:27,834
Even so,
isn't it your job to protect us?
231
00:20:28,084 --> 00:20:31,209
These colleagues
have families to support.
232
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:33,875
You have a responsibility
towards them.
233
00:20:34,041 --> 00:20:38,250
Who says I'm not protecting them?
Please refrain from such insinuations.
234
00:20:38,416 --> 00:20:40,084
Insinuations?
- Insinuations!
235
00:20:40,541 --> 00:20:44,375
The real insinuations
are in these letters.
236
00:20:44,625 --> 00:20:48,625
You can't simply
throw people out.
237
00:20:48,791 --> 00:20:51,250
All the performances
are already sold out.
238
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:55,084
It would be a disgrace.
- We received a standing ovation.
239
00:20:55,250 --> 00:20:58,666
Maybe so, Sema.
But it's out of our hands.
240
00:20:58,834 --> 00:21:00,250
We won't accept this.
241
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:03,041
You need to speak
to the people responsible.
242
00:21:03,209 --> 00:21:05,709
I already have.
- Then speak to them again.
243
00:21:07,375 --> 00:21:08,500
As you command, dear Derya.
244
00:21:09,459 --> 00:21:11,334
Excuse me?
What did you say?
245
00:21:11,666 --> 00:21:14,209
You're forcing us
to go to court.
246
00:21:14,375 --> 00:21:16,709
Let's stop this.
247
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:20,541
Our country is already
fighting against the whole world.
248
00:21:20,709 --> 00:21:23,166
The whole world,
or every colour of the rainbow?
249
00:21:24,125 --> 00:21:26,125
Excuse me?
- It's not difficult:
250
00:21:26,750 --> 00:21:29,250
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue...
- Listen.
251
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:34,875
If you want to sue me, our university
or our state, be my guest.
252
00:21:35,041 --> 00:21:38,916
This is absurd!
Friends, what are we even doing here?
253
00:21:50,125 --> 00:21:51,625
We don't deserve this.
254
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,416
You know that too, don't you?
255
00:21:56,541 --> 00:22:00,875
If you'd agreed to the photo,
things would be easier now, Derya.
256
00:22:01,041 --> 00:22:02,541
That's all I'm saying.
257
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,084
Unbelievable.
258
00:22:04,250 --> 00:22:06,666
You're cancelling the play
because of a photo?
259
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,334
That's not what I said.
- What didn't you say?
260
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:12,834
That the play was cancelled
because you refused the photo.
261
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,166
Then what did you mean?
262
00:22:14,334 --> 00:22:17,125
Only that things
would be easier for us now.
263
00:22:17,291 --> 00:22:19,084
Don't talk nonsense!
264
00:22:19,250 --> 00:22:22,959
Give my regards to the Governor
and his sycophants.
265
00:22:23,125 --> 00:22:24,875
Derya, that's too far.
Can you hear yourself?
266
00:22:25,041 --> 00:22:28,041
Perfectly well.
267
00:22:28,750 --> 00:22:32,750
You're trampling all over our work,
so who's going too far?
268
00:22:33,209 --> 00:22:36,166
We're trying to explain
the situation to you politely.
269
00:22:36,334 --> 00:22:41,709
We could have spared ourselves this discussion
and sent you a text message.
270
00:22:42,250 --> 00:22:45,625
How generous.
I suppose we should be grateful.
271
00:22:45,791 --> 00:22:48,625
Derya, that's enough.
- No, it isn't.
272
00:22:49,209 --> 00:22:51,584
You don't get
special treatment like this every day.
273
00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:53,209
Derya is right...
274
00:22:53,375 --> 00:22:54,791
Enough!
275
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:59,625
From Tuesday, we'll be performing
"Layla and Majnun" again.
276
00:23:00,875 --> 00:23:03,625
Think carefully
about where you stand.
277
00:23:08,334 --> 00:23:09,500
Well,
278
00:23:10,084 --> 00:23:12,375
this meeting is now over.
Thank you.
279
00:23:20,875 --> 00:23:22,250
That's you.
280
00:23:23,041 --> 00:23:24,291
So tiny.
281
00:23:30,041 --> 00:23:32,541
All right, everyone.
You can go.
282
00:23:37,834 --> 00:23:39,291
Unbelievable.
283
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,875
I've never heard
such nonsense.
284
00:23:42,834 --> 00:23:44,625
This is exactly
what they want.
285
00:23:44,834 --> 00:23:48,459
They don't want anyone to know
what they do behind closed doors.
286
00:23:48,625 --> 00:23:49,875
Not with us.
287
00:23:57,209 --> 00:24:00,666
My beloved wishes
her lover life
288
00:24:01,709 --> 00:24:05,250
But one who loves for personal gain
is nothing but a merchant
289
00:24:06,916 --> 00:24:10,666
O Lord, do not let the strong
rob the weak of their possessions
290
00:24:11,375 --> 00:24:15,334
O Lord, do not let a friend
share a bed with the enemy
291
00:24:15,709 --> 00:24:19,916
My wounded heart
seeks a wounded heart, not a husband
292
00:24:20,084 --> 00:24:23,709
Instead, it longs for roses,
O Lord
293
00:24:34,084 --> 00:24:36,166
You could at least
try again.
294
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,209
What do you mean?
295
00:24:38,625 --> 00:24:39,875
The theatre.
296
00:24:40,041 --> 00:24:43,291
You don't have to apologise,
but at least...
297
00:24:43,459 --> 00:24:47,459
Aziz, if you expect me to suck up to him,
we have a problem.
298
00:24:47,625 --> 00:24:52,459
I'm not asking you to suck up to him,
but if we're both unemployed...
299
00:24:52,834 --> 00:24:55,916
Do the math.
- Great, as if I don't know that.
300
00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:04,084
What about
the guitar lessons?
301
00:25:04,416 --> 00:25:07,000
They cost a lot.
We should discuss it.
302
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:12,125
Look where we've ended up.
- Where have we ended up?
303
00:25:12,291 --> 00:25:16,500
My hothead. Always where the action is.
- You sent your students to the protest!
304
00:25:16,666 --> 00:25:19,084
That's beside the point.
- I defended your play.
305
00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:20,459
Keep your voice down.
306
00:25:20,625 --> 00:25:24,375
The way he behaved!
Am I supposed to play Layla now?
307
00:25:24,541 --> 00:25:28,041
If you'd spoken to him privately...
- Even if I play Layla,
308
00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:31,041
can't you see
they have a problem with us?
309
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:36,125
They'd only find something else.
- You humiliated him in front of everyone, didn't you?
310
00:25:36,291 --> 00:25:39,209
This isn't the time
to play the heroine.
311
00:25:39,416 --> 00:25:41,959
You think
I'm trying to be a heroine?
312
00:25:42,291 --> 00:25:45,291
Sometimes your big ego
needs stroking, yes.
313
00:25:45,875 --> 00:25:49,791
Just open the door.
- No one else will tell you that.
314
00:25:54,750 --> 00:25:56,250
Mr Zülfikar,
come in.
315
00:26:00,250 --> 00:26:02,459
Good evening, Mr Zülfikar.
Welcome.
316
00:26:02,875 --> 00:26:04,084
Please come in.
317
00:26:08,791 --> 00:26:09,959
This way.
318
00:26:17,709 --> 00:26:20,666
I won't beat around
the bush.
319
00:26:22,041 --> 00:26:26,750
The police came today and searched
the building, including our flat.
320
00:26:28,416 --> 00:26:33,459
They asked who comes and goes
and who you associate with.
321
00:26:35,834 --> 00:26:38,041
And?
- And nothing.
322
00:26:40,916 --> 00:26:44,250
They said there were traitors
and terrorists everywhere.
323
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,041
And that we should report
anything suspicious.
324
00:26:49,666 --> 00:26:53,875
Mr Zülfikar, I understand,
but we ourselves...
325
00:26:54,041 --> 00:26:55,875
Children, you know
I'm fond of you.
326
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:01,000
We've lived here together
for many years, haven't we?
327
00:27:02,834 --> 00:27:05,916
But I want there
to be peace in my building.
328
00:27:06,750 --> 00:27:11,875
It was disturbing
that the police questioned everyone today.
329
00:27:13,291 --> 00:27:15,334
We're not used
to things like that.
330
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:19,416
It's everyone's duty
to preserve the peace in the building.
331
00:27:20,541 --> 00:27:22,625
I just wanted
to remind you of that.
332
00:27:24,250 --> 00:27:27,416
Mr Zülfikar, you're acting
as though we've done something wrong.
333
00:27:27,834 --> 00:27:29,959
I can't judge that,
Derya.
334
00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:33,625
I've said what I had to say.
The rest is up to you.
335
00:27:36,041 --> 00:27:37,709
I'll be going now.
336
00:27:48,209 --> 00:27:53,000
By the way, no one's come yet
about the mould in the bathroom.
337
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:54,584
Aziz,
338
00:27:55,541 --> 00:27:59,500
I don't want to have to explain myself
to the police again.
339
00:28:07,916 --> 00:28:11,791
Now they're coming right to our door.
Unbelievable!
340
00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:17,041
Ezgi could have answered the door.
It would have frightened her.
341
00:28:17,209 --> 00:28:19,791
Yes, we need to explain
the whole situation to her.
342
00:28:26,250 --> 00:28:28,041
Am I losing
my mind now?
343
00:28:32,834 --> 00:28:34,834
Come here.
- What is it?
344
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,166
Come on, come on.
345
00:28:40,541 --> 00:28:43,834
Those men over there
have been hanging around for ages.
346
00:28:45,416 --> 00:28:47,334
So?
- Are they watching us?
347
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:48,709
Nonsense.
348
00:28:49,041 --> 00:28:50,709
Look, just look...
349
00:28:51,625 --> 00:28:53,834
Don't get paranoid,
or I will too.
350
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,791
But he's looking up here,
Aziz.
351
00:28:55,959 --> 00:28:59,166
Who's looking up here?
- Ezgi, it's nothing...
352
00:28:59,666 --> 00:29:01,625
Your dad thought
he saw a friend.
353
00:29:01,791 --> 00:29:04,250
How was your lesson today?
- Very good.
354
00:29:04,459 --> 00:29:09,459
It sounded good too. Are you happy with her
or should I give her a good telling-off?
355
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,500
We're making good progress.
356
00:29:11,666 --> 00:29:15,375
If she practises the études in her spare time,
she's well on her way.
357
00:29:15,541 --> 00:29:17,000
Right, Ezgi?
- Yes.
358
00:29:18,041 --> 00:29:19,291
Thank you.
- Thank you.
359
00:29:20,041 --> 00:29:21,916
I'll see you out.
360
00:29:22,750 --> 00:29:25,959
See you next Friday, Ezgi?
- Yes, goodbye.
361
00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:28,209
Have a good evening.
- You too.
362
00:29:41,875 --> 00:29:43,125
You've got a ladder in your tights.
363
00:29:43,459 --> 00:29:44,459
Oh, no.
364
00:29:54,334 --> 00:29:55,375
What is it, Fikret?
365
00:29:56,625 --> 00:29:58,209
Slow down.
What's happened?
366
00:29:59,750 --> 00:30:01,000
What?
367
00:30:01,541 --> 00:30:02,791
When?
368
00:30:07,791 --> 00:30:09,625
You're in the park.
Okay.
369
00:30:10,625 --> 00:30:12,209
Okay, I'm on my way.
370
00:30:12,875 --> 00:30:16,334
Where are you going?
- They searched our offices.
371
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:18,375
No!
- There were arrests too.
372
00:30:20,416 --> 00:30:21,541
Well,
373
00:30:23,416 --> 00:30:25,084
we've tried everything.
374
00:30:25,625 --> 00:30:28,459
But in the current
economic climate,
375
00:30:28,625 --> 00:30:32,834
we can only suspend the loan repayments
for three months.
376
00:30:33,834 --> 00:30:37,041
Better than nothing, right?
- Yes, of course.
377
00:30:37,291 --> 00:30:40,166
After that, however,
we'd have to raise the interest rate.
378
00:30:40,334 --> 00:30:42,125
By how much?
379
00:30:42,375 --> 00:30:44,084
Nineteen per cent.
- Nineteen per cent?
380
00:30:44,250 --> 00:30:45,834
Nineteen per cent, yes.
381
00:30:46,250 --> 00:30:47,459
Nineteen per cent, Ms Nesrin?
382
00:30:48,625 --> 00:30:51,125
I've done
what I could.
383
00:30:59,666 --> 00:31:03,041
I suppose we'll just
have to swallow it, won't we?
384
00:31:03,209 --> 00:31:04,416
Of course.
385
00:31:05,250 --> 00:31:09,041
Forgive me, Ms Derya,
perhaps this is inappropriate...
386
00:31:11,250 --> 00:31:14,666
Where do I know you from?
A TV series?
387
00:31:17,250 --> 00:31:21,084
Yes, before all our channels
were controlled by the state.
388
00:31:21,291 --> 00:31:25,416
Back when interest rates
weren't so outrageously high.
389
00:31:29,750 --> 00:31:31,416
All right. So...
390
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:34,875
Is there anything else
I can do for you?
391
00:31:35,959 --> 00:31:37,459
What do you mean, "anything else"?
392
00:31:39,541 --> 00:31:43,416
We have no links
to illegal organisations.
393
00:31:46,709 --> 00:31:50,291
And no one has
given us orders.
394
00:31:50,875 --> 00:31:56,250
Everyone has the right to live in peace
and to demand that right.
395
00:31:56,666 --> 00:31:59,750
That is what we believe
and what we stand for.
396
00:32:02,875 --> 00:32:07,125
No one may restrict
our civil rights.
397
00:32:07,291 --> 00:32:10,875
It is our democratic right
to live as equals
398
00:32:11,375 --> 00:32:15,125
and to be treated with dignity.
399
00:32:19,750 --> 00:32:21,416
The citizens of this country
400
00:32:21,916 --> 00:32:26,000
are being systematically deprived
not only of their jobs,
401
00:32:26,166 --> 00:32:29,416
but also of
their place in society.
402
00:32:29,625 --> 00:32:33,666
These people have integrity
and legitimate concerns.
403
00:32:33,959 --> 00:32:39,709
We want to live in peace,
free as a tree, united as a forest.
404
00:32:39,875 --> 00:32:43,166
WE WANT
OUR JOBS BACK
405
00:32:43,875 --> 00:32:50,166
Shoulder to shoulder, we defend our right
to freedom, justice and peace.
406
00:32:50,375 --> 00:32:53,291
No one will deprive us
of our rights.
407
00:32:55,334 --> 00:32:58,500
Rights! Law! Justice!
408
00:33:30,166 --> 00:33:31,750
Have a good day, Brother Hikmet.
409
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,166
Ms Derya.
410
00:33:36,666 --> 00:33:38,084
What is it, Brother Hikmet?
411
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,666
Well, how can I put this?
412
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:47,666
What's this?
413
00:33:56,375 --> 00:33:58,416
"Your resignation
has been accepted."
414
00:34:00,750 --> 00:34:01,791
Who sent this?
415
00:34:02,791 --> 00:34:04,459
They're rehearsing inside.
416
00:34:05,375 --> 00:34:06,459
So?
417
00:34:06,959 --> 00:34:08,918
I was told not to let you in.
418
00:34:09,501 --> 00:34:11,876
What?
- I was surprised too.
419
00:34:12,043 --> 00:34:14,668
But I'm only doing
what I'm told.
420
00:34:14,958 --> 00:34:16,833
Who gave the order?
421
00:34:18,168 --> 00:34:19,168
Brother Hikmet.
422
00:34:20,543 --> 00:34:23,918
You didn't hear it from me,
but it was Ms Zeynep.
423
00:34:27,543 --> 00:34:28,626
Ms Derya.
424
00:34:29,626 --> 00:34:30,793
Where are you?
425
00:34:30,958 --> 00:34:33,418
You are the brave one,
the one with conviction.
426
00:34:33,583 --> 00:34:34,793
You. You. You.
427
00:34:34,958 --> 00:34:37,251
You're the one
who should be here.
428
00:34:37,418 --> 00:34:38,668
You. You. You.
429
00:34:38,833 --> 00:34:41,126
But where are you?
- Where are you?
430
00:34:45,708 --> 00:34:46,918
Here I am, Sema.
431
00:34:50,293 --> 00:34:51,418
Wow.
432
00:34:54,793 --> 00:34:56,543
Well done, everyone.
433
00:35:02,043 --> 00:35:03,083
Keep it up.
434
00:35:31,751 --> 00:35:33,251
Isn't she home?
- She is.
435
00:35:33,458 --> 00:35:35,583
Maybe she didn't hear.
Try again.
436
00:35:42,501 --> 00:35:43,793
My darlings.
- Hello.
437
00:35:43,958 --> 00:35:45,458
Welcome.
438
00:35:45,626 --> 00:35:47,876
My darling.
How she's grown.
439
00:35:50,833 --> 00:35:52,208
Welcome.
440
00:35:52,376 --> 00:35:54,626
I've been waiting for you.
441
00:35:54,793 --> 00:35:56,251
Don't take your shoes off.
442
00:35:56,958 --> 00:36:00,626
It's good to see you.
- Welcome.
443
00:36:01,418 --> 00:36:03,668
Go into the living room.
Come in.
444
00:36:05,043 --> 00:36:08,126
I've made tea and cake.
Everything's ready.
445
00:36:08,293 --> 00:36:09,501
You went to all this trouble?
446
00:36:09,668 --> 00:36:13,668
By the way, you'll sleep in my room
and Ezgi will sleep in the guest room.
447
00:36:13,833 --> 00:36:16,126
And you?
- I'll sleep here.
448
00:36:17,168 --> 00:36:19,668
We can't let you do that.
- Of course you can.
449
00:36:19,833 --> 00:36:23,083
I always fall asleep
in front of the television anyway.
450
00:36:23,251 --> 00:36:25,043
End of discussion.
451
00:36:26,001 --> 00:36:27,168
Is this my room?
452
00:36:29,001 --> 00:36:30,251
Yes, my love.
453
00:36:34,958 --> 00:36:37,083
The pizza in Ankara
was better.
454
00:36:38,293 --> 00:36:41,793
But it's more expensive here.
- Welcome to Istanbul.
455
00:36:42,668 --> 00:36:44,793
I'm going to my room
to call Pelin.
456
00:36:44,958 --> 00:36:47,126
Don't forget your plate.
- Who's Pelin?
457
00:36:47,293 --> 00:36:50,333
A friend from Ankara.
I'll clear the table.
458
00:36:51,251 --> 00:36:54,126
I made such delicious leeks,
and now they'll go to waste.
459
00:36:54,293 --> 00:36:56,958
We'll eat them tomorrow,
don't worry.
460
00:36:57,126 --> 00:37:00,501
We want to make the transition easy for Ezgi.
Today is an exception.
461
00:37:00,668 --> 00:37:05,501
She needs to eat properly.
It's important at her age.
462
00:37:06,001 --> 00:37:08,793
Are you talking about me?
- Ears like a lynx.
463
00:37:10,168 --> 00:37:12,751
Come here, my little one.
Come.
464
00:37:21,083 --> 00:37:22,626
That's not necessary.
- Thanks, Grandma.
465
00:37:22,793 --> 00:37:25,001
Stay out of this.
This is between us.
466
00:37:26,168 --> 00:37:29,876
You're a young woman now
and can buy your own soft drinks.
467
00:37:30,543 --> 00:37:34,251
That way, you won't depend on anyone.
Are you seeing someone?
468
00:37:34,958 --> 00:37:37,083
What do you mean?
- A boyfriend?
469
00:37:38,668 --> 00:37:41,333
Grandma...
- Or someone you love.
470
00:37:41,668 --> 00:37:43,833
Is there Wi-Fi here?
- What?
471
00:37:44,001 --> 00:37:47,333
Internet.
- Oh, only through my phone.
472
00:37:47,501 --> 00:37:49,001
Here, take mine.
473
00:37:51,918 --> 00:37:53,126
Such a wonderful age.
474
00:37:53,543 --> 00:37:55,501
All right then.
Would you like coffee?
475
00:37:55,918 --> 00:37:59,626
Yes, please. On the shelf to the right.
A little sugar.
476
00:37:59,793 --> 00:38:03,043
And you?
- Yes, please.
477
00:38:04,543 --> 00:38:07,626
So, what's the plan?
What can I do for you?
478
00:38:07,793 --> 00:38:09,876
You've taken us in,
that's enough.
479
00:38:10,043 --> 00:38:14,043
This politeness is insulting.
This is your home too.
480
00:38:14,668 --> 00:38:17,626
Besides, being alone
all the time is awful.
481
00:38:21,083 --> 00:38:24,083
So,
what do we do now?
482
00:38:24,251 --> 00:38:28,458
The university filed a lawsuit.
And we filed one in response.
483
00:38:29,001 --> 00:38:32,626
The other case is criminal.
- Criminal?
484
00:38:33,043 --> 00:38:36,918
The prosecutor summoned me.
Apparently, a student reported me.
485
00:38:37,083 --> 00:38:40,918
They searched my social media
and put some posts in the case file.
486
00:38:41,126 --> 00:38:46,043
The prosecutor is seeking a prison sentence
for insulting the President.
487
00:38:46,251 --> 00:38:48,583
It could be more than four years
in prison.
488
00:38:49,251 --> 00:38:51,333
Did you insult someone?
489
00:38:51,501 --> 00:38:54,418
Mum, I know the difference
between criticism and insult,
490
00:38:54,583 --> 00:38:57,126
and I didn't insult anyone.
They're trying to intimidate us.
491
00:38:57,293 --> 00:38:58,583
How can you be so sure?
492
00:38:58,793 --> 00:39:02,626
Is there anything
we can still be sure of?
493
00:39:02,958 --> 00:39:04,708
When is the hearing?
494
00:39:04,958 --> 00:39:06,876
I don't know.
We're waiting.
495
00:39:07,626 --> 00:39:10,043
Do you believe in the justice system,
if you're waiting on it?
496
00:39:10,251 --> 00:39:12,583
What choice do I have?
The lawyers are doing their best.
497
00:39:12,793 --> 00:39:14,918
Yes, the lawyers,
but what are you doing?
498
00:39:15,293 --> 00:39:17,333
I'm applying for jobs.
499
00:39:17,708 --> 00:39:19,083
Where?
500
00:39:19,418 --> 00:39:24,418
At private universities.
I'm also working on translations.
501
00:39:25,418 --> 00:39:28,793
And you, Derya?
- I want to work too.
502
00:39:29,043 --> 00:39:30,918
Meaning what?
- Mum?
503
00:39:31,458 --> 00:39:35,333
You're so sensitive!
Can't I even ask a question?
504
00:39:35,626 --> 00:39:39,208
I'm looking for work and a good school for Ezgi.
We're doing our best.
505
00:39:39,751 --> 00:39:43,208
As soon as we know more,
we'll return to Ankara.
506
00:39:43,376 --> 00:39:45,833
That's not what
I meant at all.
507
00:39:46,001 --> 00:39:48,208
No, you
misunderstood me.
508
00:39:48,501 --> 00:39:52,126
I'm very happy
that you're here.
509
00:39:52,293 --> 00:39:54,583
I'm here for you,
financially and emotionally.
510
00:39:55,043 --> 00:39:56,208
Thank you.
511
00:39:57,751 --> 00:40:01,043
And I'll prepare Ezgi
for her exams.
512
00:40:02,708 --> 00:40:04,751
There's no need to worry...
- Oh, the coffee!
513
00:40:09,668 --> 00:40:11,168
No problem.
514
00:40:12,126 --> 00:40:14,958
We shouldn't be drinking coffee
this late anyway.
515
00:40:31,376 --> 00:40:32,501
Hey, you.
516
00:40:38,126 --> 00:40:39,293
My darling.
517
00:40:40,626 --> 00:40:42,043
Everything will be all right.
518
00:40:47,251 --> 00:40:48,208
Get up.
519
00:40:48,918 --> 00:40:52,418
Get up.
Or I'll put you in the oven
520
00:40:52,626 --> 00:40:55,251
and bake and eat you.
- Let go of me.
521
00:41:00,793 --> 00:41:02,543
It's only temporary.
522
00:41:09,626 --> 00:41:12,126
This is where we part.
- Shouldn't we come with you?
523
00:41:12,293 --> 00:41:15,751
Do you want to sit in class with me too?
- Can you find your classroom?
524
00:41:15,918 --> 00:41:18,333
Yes, and don't pick me up.
I can find my own way back.
525
00:41:18,501 --> 00:41:19,876
Do you have your sandwiches?
- Yes.
526
00:41:20,043 --> 00:41:22,958
Do you need anything else?
- Please just go.
527
00:41:26,126 --> 00:41:27,251
Okay.
528
00:41:28,293 --> 00:41:29,418
Mum.
529
00:41:31,001 --> 00:41:32,708
Bye.
- Good luck.
530
00:41:35,543 --> 00:41:38,958
The conservatory might also be an option.
She's good at music and art.
531
00:41:39,126 --> 00:41:40,293
The conservatory?
532
00:41:40,458 --> 00:41:43,208
She'll never be a professional musician.
- Excuse me?
533
00:41:43,376 --> 00:41:46,168
If she were a virtuoso,
we'd know by now.
534
00:41:46,626 --> 00:41:50,876
So she should just give up now?
Sometimes you talk nonsense.
535
00:41:51,293 --> 00:41:52,958
Hello.
- Hello.
536
00:41:53,418 --> 00:41:56,501
We're boycotting the canteen
and collecting signatures.
537
00:41:56,668 --> 00:42:00,208
The high prices and poor quality
are unacceptable.
538
00:42:00,376 --> 00:42:04,626
So we bring our own food
and share it during the breaks.
539
00:42:04,793 --> 00:42:10,168
But the headmaster intervened.
He says we could hide drugs in the food.
540
00:42:11,083 --> 00:42:14,418
So we're exercising our democratic right
to collect signatures.
541
00:42:14,583 --> 00:42:16,501
Would you sign it?
- Yes.
542
00:42:17,543 --> 00:42:18,668
Is this a joke?
543
00:42:19,458 --> 00:42:20,543
A joke?
544
00:42:22,751 --> 00:42:24,543
Wonderful.
- Thank you.
545
00:42:26,876 --> 00:42:28,208
Did she say drugs?
546
00:42:39,626 --> 00:42:40,708
There it is.
547
00:42:41,126 --> 00:42:43,708
They last about
two or three years.
548
00:42:43,876 --> 00:42:45,626
When does
the new model come out?
549
00:42:45,793 --> 00:42:48,208
Supposedly in spring,
but we won't get it until...
550
00:42:49,126 --> 00:42:53,333
summer. But forget the tablet,
I'll give you a laptop...
551
00:42:53,501 --> 00:42:56,293
No, I'll think about it.
- All right.
552
00:42:56,458 --> 00:42:58,333
Have a nice day.
- Thanks, you too.
553
00:42:59,083 --> 00:43:01,333
Wow! Wow, Derya.
554
00:43:01,751 --> 00:43:04,626
What brings you here?
- Give me a hug, brother.
555
00:43:06,001 --> 00:43:08,001
Welcome.
- Thanks, how are you?
556
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:09,293
Good, thanks.
557
00:43:10,001 --> 00:43:12,958
It's been a while
since our son's circumcision, hasn't it?
558
00:43:13,126 --> 00:43:15,958
Well, you know:
Ankara, university, work...
559
00:43:16,126 --> 00:43:17,418
That's true.
560
00:43:18,083 --> 00:43:19,458
Please, sit down.
561
00:43:20,793 --> 00:43:23,293
Şükrü?
Tidy this up.
562
00:43:30,668 --> 00:43:32,876
Please excuse
the mess.
563
00:43:35,626 --> 00:43:37,418
All right then.
Tell me.
564
00:43:38,543 --> 00:43:43,668
You know we moved to Istanbul?
- Yes. I wondered when you'd call.
565
00:43:43,918 --> 00:43:45,833
Well, here we are.
How's Gülin?
566
00:43:46,126 --> 00:43:48,043
Good, thank God.
567
00:43:48,208 --> 00:43:50,543
And the children?
- They're well too.
568
00:43:51,168 --> 00:43:52,543
We've missed you.
569
00:43:52,918 --> 00:43:55,708
Where did you leave Ezgi?
- At school.
570
00:43:55,876 --> 00:43:58,876
In the afternoons, she studies with Aziz's mother
for her exams.
571
00:43:59,043 --> 00:44:02,376
For high school?
- Exactly. We'll bring her next time.
572
00:44:03,543 --> 00:44:04,376
God willing.
573
00:44:06,083 --> 00:44:08,751
We came to discuss
something with you.
574
00:44:08,918 --> 00:44:10,293
Do you smoke?
- Not anymore.
575
00:44:11,626 --> 00:44:14,543
I'm listening.
- Okay, let's get straight to the point:
576
00:44:15,958 --> 00:44:18,626
We have that plot of land
in the Ida Mountains...
577
00:44:21,333 --> 00:44:22,376
Let's sell it.
578
00:44:24,751 --> 00:44:26,626
Why?
- What?
579
00:44:28,418 --> 00:44:31,918
Why do you want to sell it?
- We're in trouble.
580
00:44:32,751 --> 00:44:34,751
We need the money,
simple as that.
581
00:44:36,876 --> 00:44:41,543
We lost our jobs, you know?
- Yes, I already heard.
582
00:44:42,543 --> 00:44:44,876
And the flat?
Your furniture?
583
00:44:45,043 --> 00:44:48,918
It's all in storage.
We're staying with my mother for now.
584
00:44:49,793 --> 00:44:53,708
Derya, you don't make a decision like that
in a hurry.
585
00:44:54,458 --> 00:44:58,583
The local council is working flat out
on building a tunnel.
586
00:44:58,833 --> 00:45:02,668
It'll increase the value of the land.
So we should wait.
587
00:45:06,708 --> 00:45:08,333
What?
- Nothing.
588
00:45:09,293 --> 00:45:14,668
I'm just wondering whether you'd have come
if it weren't about the land.
589
00:45:15,501 --> 00:45:20,458
Well, we're having money problems
and asking you for help.
590
00:45:20,626 --> 00:45:21,833
Of course we'll help.
591
00:45:22,501 --> 00:45:27,751
But you don't make a decision like that on the spot.
I have to go to Friday prayers now, okay?
592
00:45:28,668 --> 00:45:30,126
Aziz,
come to the mosque.
593
00:45:32,543 --> 00:45:34,168
You go ahead.
I'll wait here.
594
00:45:38,876 --> 00:45:40,626
Derya,
keep an eye on the shop.
595
00:45:52,501 --> 00:45:55,293
Are you coming to Friday prayers?
- See you in a bit.
596
00:46:02,708 --> 00:46:04,501
So you're unemployed?
597
00:46:05,751 --> 00:46:07,333
I'm applying here and there.
598
00:46:08,668 --> 00:46:11,208
I'm also doing
some translation work.
599
00:46:11,918 --> 00:46:13,083
Translations?
600
00:46:14,501 --> 00:46:16,543
Can you make a living from that?
601
00:46:22,876 --> 00:46:27,626
Boss! Sorry, I'm wet.
How are you?
602
00:46:27,793 --> 00:46:30,751
Good, thanks.
- This is Aziz, my brother-in-law.
603
00:46:31,208 --> 00:46:33,043
This is our Chief of Police.
604
00:46:33,501 --> 00:46:36,418
You never miss Friday prayers.
- Just like you.
605
00:46:36,583 --> 00:46:38,958
See you upstairs.
- See you soon.
606
00:46:46,333 --> 00:46:50,126
He was looking for a PlayStation 5
for his grandson.
607
00:46:50,293 --> 00:46:55,001
It was impossible to find, even in Europe.
I got him one in just two days.
608
00:46:55,376 --> 00:46:58,501
The Chief of Police.
And I'm his first port of call.
609
00:47:00,958 --> 00:47:05,376
In the surah I am reading,
Allah says:
610
00:47:06,501 --> 00:47:09,626
"Remain steadfast,
as you have been commanded.
611
00:47:10,958 --> 00:47:14,876
And may those who repent with you
also remain steadfast.
612
00:47:16,083 --> 00:47:18,876
Do not transgress the bounds
of law and decency,
613
00:47:19,668 --> 00:47:23,458
for Allah sees
what you do."
614
00:47:24,958 --> 00:47:30,126
In the hadith I am reading,
the Prophet says:
615
00:47:30,918 --> 00:47:36,958
"Righteousness leads to goodness.
And goodness leads to Paradise."
616
00:47:37,126 --> 00:47:40,708
GOD DOES NOT MEAN
THE WORLD LITERALLY AT ALL.
617
00:48:12,043 --> 00:48:15,083
May Allah
accept your prayers.
618
00:48:20,833 --> 00:48:22,208
Hey, Recai.
619
00:48:23,833 --> 00:48:27,083
Brother, may Allah accept your prayers.
- May Allah accept yours.
620
00:48:27,293 --> 00:48:29,126
Do you know my brother-in-law?
621
00:48:29,958 --> 00:48:32,751
Aziz, pleased to meet you.
- Likewise. Recai.
622
00:48:33,458 --> 00:48:36,668
Recai, are you still looking
for reliable drivers?
623
00:48:36,918 --> 00:48:38,626
Yes, I am.
624
00:48:38,793 --> 00:48:43,376
Aziz is one of the most decent people
in the world.
625
00:48:43,543 --> 00:48:45,168
You can trust him completely.
626
00:48:46,208 --> 00:48:49,543
A good deed
on blessed Friday.
627
00:48:51,001 --> 00:48:55,376
Salih's family is my family too.
Come by tomorrow.
628
00:48:55,918 --> 00:48:59,168
Well, I don't know.
This is a little sudden.
629
00:48:59,333 --> 00:49:00,876
Write down Recai's number.
630
00:49:01,918 --> 00:49:04,126
Save his number.
631
00:49:05,083 --> 00:49:07,208
Save me as Taxi Recai.
632
00:49:09,126 --> 00:49:10,751
0532...
633
00:49:13,918 --> 00:49:15,376
Hello, everyone.
634
00:49:15,793 --> 00:49:17,793
Hello.
- Hello.
635
00:49:18,751 --> 00:49:22,126
So, what are you doing?
- Studying.
636
00:49:23,333 --> 00:49:25,458
But the young lady
is a little annoyed.
637
00:49:25,833 --> 00:49:27,251
That's the first
I've heard of it.
638
00:49:27,543 --> 00:49:32,958
Always memorising things.
As though the internet doesn't exist.
639
00:49:33,126 --> 00:49:34,918
AI must be
laughing its arse off.
640
00:49:35,543 --> 00:49:37,043
Don't use language like that.
641
00:49:37,458 --> 00:49:40,793
She's right,
but we all had to go through it.
642
00:49:40,958 --> 00:49:43,168
Why should it be
any different for you?
643
00:49:43,333 --> 00:49:45,918
Because I wasn't born
in the Stone Age like you.
644
00:49:46,083 --> 00:49:49,876
So, how was your first day
at school?
645
00:49:50,043 --> 00:49:52,251
Pretty boring.
- Boring?
646
00:49:52,418 --> 00:49:55,376
What's so boring
about a petition?
647
00:49:55,543 --> 00:49:58,043
They're just idiots.
- Did you sign it too?
648
00:49:58,333 --> 00:50:01,668
Only so I wouldn't be excluded straight away.
- Good, okay.
649
00:50:02,083 --> 00:50:05,333
Then you'll get a bigger packed lunch tomorrow.
- Oh, thanks.
650
00:50:05,501 --> 00:50:09,458
We talked about other schools today.
If you do well in the tests...
651
00:50:09,626 --> 00:50:14,251
Forget it, Mum.
I won't make it anyway, and they're all rich kids.
652
00:50:14,708 --> 00:50:17,376
Why?
Your practice exams were good.
653
00:50:17,793 --> 00:50:20,251
I want to be an artist.
You have to experience life for that.
654
00:50:20,418 --> 00:50:21,418
Oh, really?
655
00:50:21,833 --> 00:50:24,668
It doesn't have to be a private school.
A state school is fine.
656
00:50:25,126 --> 00:50:29,708
You just said they were all idiots.
- Not all of them. Some play guitar.
657
00:50:29,876 --> 00:50:33,918
Made friends already?
- They're not friends yet, darling.
658
00:50:38,876 --> 00:50:44,043
Mum, did you buy the cola?
- I didn't. She must have bought it herself.
659
00:50:44,708 --> 00:50:47,458
It was me, Aziz.
I bought it.
660
00:50:48,501 --> 00:50:52,458
I just felt like having some.
It's not the end of the world, is it?
661
00:51:03,126 --> 00:51:07,501
She repeats everything you say.
- I didn't say anything about the schools.
662
00:51:07,668 --> 00:51:11,626
Didn't you tell Fikret
that an artist has to experience life?
663
00:51:12,208 --> 00:51:14,668
What am I supposed to do?
She picks up everything.
664
00:51:15,626 --> 00:51:19,458
She'll find her own way,
one way or another.
665
00:51:20,208 --> 00:51:23,958
What matters
is our attitude as a family.
666
00:51:24,208 --> 00:51:27,251
Our attitude?
- Yes, how we deal with problems.
667
00:51:28,126 --> 00:51:31,626
All we can do
is prepare her well for life.
668
00:51:32,418 --> 00:51:34,293
That sounds like a TV series.
669
00:51:34,626 --> 00:51:36,918
Oh, really?
- One of the bad ones.
670
00:51:37,626 --> 00:51:41,126
Not everyone is a linguistic genius
like you, dear Aziz Tufan.
671
00:51:45,668 --> 00:51:46,918
Hello, Kadriye.
672
00:51:47,376 --> 00:51:49,833
No, we're still awake.
What is it?
673
00:51:59,751 --> 00:52:01,793
Can't it
be brought forward?
674
00:52:04,958 --> 00:52:06,458
Okay, okay.
675
00:52:07,083 --> 00:52:10,126
All right.
Thank you.
676
00:52:10,293 --> 00:52:12,458
I'll be in touch.
Good night.
677
00:52:13,418 --> 00:52:16,751
What did she say?
- The court date isn't for another seven months.
678
00:52:16,918 --> 00:52:18,708
Seven months?
- Yes.
679
00:52:23,626 --> 00:52:26,458
Are you going to call that taxi guy?
- Who?
680
00:52:26,626 --> 00:52:28,376
My brother's friend.
681
00:52:28,668 --> 00:52:31,833
I don't know.
I still need to think about it.
682
00:52:32,043 --> 00:52:34,918
Seven months.
What are we going to do until then?
683
00:52:35,876 --> 00:52:37,501
Everything is so uncertain.
684
00:52:38,793 --> 00:52:41,501
Even if I drive a taxi,
what will you do?
685
00:52:44,418 --> 00:52:46,293
Maybe I'll act
in a TV series.
686
00:52:47,501 --> 00:52:49,001
Or become a model.
687
00:52:50,293 --> 00:52:52,251
You think you're
that beautiful?
688
00:52:52,626 --> 00:52:54,293
Or I'll drive a lorry.
689
00:52:55,418 --> 00:52:57,918
Me in a lorry, you in a taxi.
What do you think?
690
00:52:59,043 --> 00:53:00,708
Right in the thick of life.
691
00:53:02,293 --> 00:53:03,501
Why not?
692
00:53:10,626 --> 00:53:13,126
CASTING AGENT
693
00:53:28,543 --> 00:53:29,293
Listen.
694
00:53:32,833 --> 00:53:34,833
I'm not having anything
done to my face.
695
00:53:36,626 --> 00:53:40,043
And I'm not making a fool of myself
just to get more followers.
696
00:53:42,918 --> 00:53:45,208
No one expects you to.
697
00:53:46,293 --> 00:53:49,043
But social media
is important these days.
698
00:53:50,708 --> 00:53:53,626
Please don't take this
the wrong way, but...
699
00:53:55,251 --> 00:53:58,376
But?
- You know the situation.
700
00:53:58,543 --> 00:53:59,543
Yes.
701
00:54:00,543 --> 00:54:05,626
To improve your chances, it would help
to delete some of your old posts.
702
00:54:05,793 --> 00:54:06,668
Which ones?
703
00:54:08,458 --> 00:54:09,876
The political ones.
704
00:54:14,043 --> 00:54:17,168
You don't have to say anything now.
Think about it.
705
00:54:18,501 --> 00:54:22,208
And do what you think is right.
- We're talking past each other, Kübra.
706
00:54:24,251 --> 00:54:25,543
Thanks for the tea.
707
00:54:30,043 --> 00:54:35,333
There are more customers during the day,
but less traffic at night. Which do you prefer?
708
00:54:35,501 --> 00:54:37,001
Nights.
709
00:54:37,376 --> 00:54:41,793
All right. But be careful,
there are plenty of lowlifes around at night.
710
00:54:42,333 --> 00:54:43,501
I'll be careful.
711
00:54:44,333 --> 00:54:47,501
Do you know Istanbul well?
- Of course, I grew up here.
712
00:54:48,083 --> 00:54:49,876
You don't smoke, do you?
- No.
713
00:54:50,208 --> 00:54:51,958
The customers can't either.
- Of course.
714
00:54:52,126 --> 00:54:52,793
Great.
715
00:54:53,668 --> 00:54:56,708
The "X" is new.
It used to say "TAKSİ."
716
00:54:59,876 --> 00:55:01,376
May God protect you.
717
00:55:02,751 --> 00:55:03,751
Amen.
718
00:56:11,083 --> 00:56:12,458
What time is it?
719
00:56:13,501 --> 00:56:14,668
4:30.
720
00:56:16,293 --> 00:56:17,668
What are you doing?
721
00:56:19,251 --> 00:56:21,501
I'm making sandwiches for Ezgi.
722
00:56:21,833 --> 00:56:24,418
Go back to bed.
- I can't sleep anyway.
723
00:56:27,626 --> 00:56:28,458
Hey!
724
00:56:29,543 --> 00:56:34,793
I can't drive you.
Especially not when you're drunk. Please get out.
725
00:56:43,876 --> 00:56:45,083
What are you watching?
726
00:56:45,501 --> 00:56:49,126
They're holding their classes in the park
because they're banned from the university.
727
00:56:50,543 --> 00:56:52,208
"Street Academy."
728
00:56:54,751 --> 00:56:56,208
Everything will be all right.
729
00:56:59,293 --> 00:57:00,668
You say it too.
730
00:57:02,001 --> 00:57:03,918
Everything will be all right.
731
00:57:04,083 --> 00:57:05,251
Come on.
732
00:57:07,708 --> 00:57:09,126
Everything will be all right.
733
00:57:14,458 --> 00:57:16,208
Hello. Welcome.
- Hello.
734
00:57:20,876 --> 00:57:21,958
Kadıköy, please.
735
00:57:25,751 --> 00:57:27,501
Whereabouts in Kadıköy?
736
00:57:27,833 --> 00:57:30,001
The Blok Theatre.
Do you know it?
737
00:57:30,168 --> 00:57:31,333
Of course.
738
00:57:48,293 --> 00:57:50,626
Keep the change.
- Thank you.
739
00:57:50,793 --> 00:57:55,126
What are you seeing?
- No idea. Some friends invited us.
740
00:57:55,668 --> 00:57:58,043
Okay, have fun. Have a good evening.
- Thanks.
741
00:58:50,126 --> 00:58:51,208
Hello.
742
00:58:51,376 --> 00:58:52,751
Hello, welcome.
743
00:58:53,501 --> 00:58:55,668
You brought
the whole market home.
744
00:58:55,833 --> 00:59:00,833
Grandma dragged us to the furthest corners.
Why? Because it's supposedly cheaper there.
745
00:59:02,126 --> 00:59:05,418
She's right.
The front of the market is more expensive.
746
00:59:05,626 --> 00:59:07,543
Is it worth the two lira?
747
00:59:07,708 --> 00:59:10,001
Money doesn't grow on trees.
Did you miss me?
748
00:59:10,168 --> 00:59:12,418
Thanks for clearing that up.
No, I didn't.
749
00:59:14,418 --> 00:59:15,583
Off you go.
750
00:59:16,458 --> 00:59:18,958
We're having guests tonight.
- Who?
751
00:59:19,293 --> 00:59:21,208
My brother and his family,
for the breaking of the fast.
752
00:59:22,458 --> 00:59:23,543
Really?
753
00:59:24,958 --> 00:59:27,958
Why, are you busy?
- No, let them come.
754
00:59:28,793 --> 00:59:31,043
Would you like coffee?
- No, I'm fasting.
755
00:59:32,376 --> 00:59:33,876
What?
- Seriously?
756
00:59:34,376 --> 00:59:36,708
Yes.
Do I have to justify myself?
757
00:59:37,126 --> 00:59:38,626
No, I mean...
758
00:59:39,668 --> 00:59:43,083
To impress your brother?
- Do you think I'm a hypocrite?
759
00:59:43,251 --> 00:59:45,043
We fasted
when we were children too.
760
00:59:45,793 --> 00:59:48,208
I'm not saying anything.
May God accept it.
761
00:59:49,751 --> 00:59:52,958
How did it go with the taxi?
- Not bad.
762
00:59:55,126 --> 00:59:56,833
I passed Baran's theatre.
763
00:59:57,126 --> 01:00:00,418
Which Baran?
Will you chop the onions? It's urgent.
764
01:00:02,083 --> 01:00:04,543
From our old theatre group.
- Baran Tunçyürek?
765
01:00:04,708 --> 01:00:06,001
Yes.
- Chop them finely.
766
01:00:07,043 --> 01:00:10,208
He's performing his own play
in Kadıköy
767
01:00:10,376 --> 01:00:12,458
and I think
he's also a partner.
768
01:00:12,626 --> 01:00:16,126
Weren't you supposed to be driving a taxi?
- I dropped off a passenger there.
769
01:00:16,668 --> 01:00:19,333
There was a lot going on outside the theatre,
so I went in for a moment.
770
01:00:20,501 --> 01:00:23,001
I got us tickets
for Tuesday.
771
01:00:23,626 --> 01:00:25,168
In case we feel like going.
772
01:00:28,626 --> 01:00:32,001
You could have got one for your mother too.
- Why?
773
01:00:32,501 --> 01:00:35,043
Well,
she seems a little irritable.
774
01:00:35,208 --> 01:00:38,501
She and Ezgi argue a lot.
She should get out for a while.
775
01:00:41,001 --> 01:00:44,126
That's just how my mother is.
We'll have to grin and bear it.
776
01:00:49,293 --> 01:00:51,083
Grandma wants a coffee.
777
01:00:51,751 --> 01:00:52,751
Wonderful.
778
01:00:53,043 --> 01:00:58,208
Don't always expect me to do everything.
Your father will show you how.
779
01:00:58,501 --> 01:01:00,208
I need to take a shower.
780
01:01:01,083 --> 01:01:04,126
First the water...
- I know how to make coffee, Dad.
781
01:01:12,083 --> 01:01:13,958
Was that the cannon?
782
01:01:14,293 --> 01:01:15,751
Your plates, please.
783
01:01:16,293 --> 01:01:18,001
Yes, we can begin.
784
01:01:18,501 --> 01:01:20,708
May Allah accept it.
- May Allah accept it.
785
01:01:21,293 --> 01:01:23,958
Thank you, Derya,
what a beautiful spread.
786
01:01:24,251 --> 01:01:26,418
It was a little last-minute,
so forgive me.
787
01:01:27,126 --> 01:01:28,043
Enjoy your meal.
788
01:01:30,876 --> 01:01:32,208
So, boys,
789
01:01:32,833 --> 01:01:34,833
how are you?
It's been a long time.
790
01:01:35,001 --> 01:01:36,751
We're well,
Aunt Derya.
791
01:01:37,083 --> 01:01:38,793
We've invited you over
so many times.
792
01:01:38,958 --> 01:01:41,918
Unfortunately, we missed seeing you onstage.
- It's on YouTube.
793
01:01:42,458 --> 01:01:44,708
Why?
Aren't you performing anymore?
794
01:01:45,708 --> 01:01:48,543
Not at the moment. It's uncertain.
- Really?
795
01:01:48,708 --> 01:01:52,001
I really wanted
to see you perform one day.
796
01:01:52,751 --> 01:01:57,126
Salih tells everyone that his sister
is the star of the State Theatre.
797
01:01:57,918 --> 01:02:01,918
There's nothing to boast about.
Smaller theatres were braver than we were.
798
01:02:02,083 --> 01:02:03,626
Nothing to boast about?
799
01:02:04,626 --> 01:02:06,458
I still have all the newspaper articles.
800
01:02:06,626 --> 01:02:10,251
I kept every one of them.
But they're only about the actors.
801
01:02:10,418 --> 01:02:12,708
No one cares
about the writers.
802
01:02:12,876 --> 01:02:16,458
That's our fate.
- Those in the know know my Aziz too.
803
01:02:16,626 --> 01:02:20,376
I wanted to see the boys in the school play,
but they didn't want me to.
804
01:02:21,251 --> 01:02:23,876
You have a school theatre?
- Of course.
805
01:02:25,376 --> 01:02:27,583
There is a theatre group,
but...
806
01:02:27,958 --> 01:02:32,918
But what? Is there one or not?
- Yes, but they perform strange plays.
807
01:02:33,083 --> 01:02:34,458
Such as?
808
01:02:34,793 --> 01:02:39,418
How should I know? It's confusing stuff.
- Maybe absurdist theatre?
809
01:02:39,583 --> 01:02:44,958
They're hardly going to give children Jelinek or
Heiner Müller. They're harmless plays.
810
01:02:45,376 --> 01:02:46,876
Who are those people, Grandma?
811
01:02:47,833 --> 01:02:51,668
Elfriede Jelinek
is an Austrian feminist writer.
812
01:02:52,501 --> 01:02:55,626
You'll miss out on things like that
at a state school.
813
01:02:55,793 --> 01:02:58,208
Can we leave that subject
alone tonight?
814
01:02:58,793 --> 01:03:02,293
What subject?
- They want me to go to a private school,
815
01:03:02,458 --> 01:03:04,376
but I think it's unnecessary.
- Ezgi.
816
01:03:04,543 --> 01:03:06,251
What?
- Wait a minute.
817
01:03:07,958 --> 01:03:11,501
Is that why
you want me to sell the land?
818
01:03:12,251 --> 01:03:13,918
Well, partly.
819
01:03:14,501 --> 01:03:18,126
No income, lots of expenses.
The school is just the icing on the cake.
820
01:03:18,958 --> 01:03:21,293
Barış, Erdinç,
stand up.
821
01:03:22,708 --> 01:03:24,001
Stand up!
822
01:03:27,001 --> 01:03:29,833
Derya, what do you see?
- What am I supposed to see?
823
01:03:30,458 --> 01:03:33,918
Do you see any flaws?
Any abnormalities?
824
01:03:34,083 --> 01:03:35,751
Sit down, boys.
825
01:03:38,458 --> 01:03:41,708
They're fine boys.
Love, respect, they have it all.
826
01:03:42,001 --> 01:03:44,376
State schools are better
than you think.
827
01:03:44,543 --> 01:03:46,876
That's not what this is about.
- Then what is it about?
828
01:03:47,751 --> 01:03:49,083
Selling the land.
829
01:03:50,501 --> 01:03:53,458
We both inherited it.
It belongs to us as much as it does to you.
830
01:03:53,626 --> 01:03:55,126
Derya.
- Wait, Aziz.
831
01:03:55,876 --> 01:03:58,626
Now that we're discussing it,
let me finish.
832
01:03:58,793 --> 01:04:02,626
Derya is right. The profile of the schools
has changed in recent years.
833
01:04:02,793 --> 01:04:06,208
I'm not talking about schools right now.
- Derya, once again:
834
01:04:06,543 --> 01:04:08,458
If you need money,
I can help.
835
01:04:08,918 --> 01:04:11,001
We're family, after all.
Right, Gülin?
836
01:04:11,168 --> 01:04:13,333
Of course, Derya,
we'd be happy to help.
837
01:04:13,501 --> 01:04:15,708
It would be a good deed
during holy Ramadan.
838
01:04:15,876 --> 01:04:17,458
Let's leave it at that.
839
01:04:28,543 --> 01:04:33,251
Ezgi, will you get the baklava
we brought from the kitchen?
840
01:04:33,418 --> 01:04:36,126
Maybe it'll lighten
the mood.
841
01:04:36,293 --> 01:04:37,668
Stay seated, Ezgi.
842
01:04:38,001 --> 01:04:40,376
Always the girls, right?
843
01:04:40,918 --> 01:04:45,083
Erdinç, Barış,
why don't you get the dessert today?
844
01:04:45,793 --> 01:04:47,668
Stay seated, boys,
I'll go.
845
01:05:06,501 --> 01:05:07,918
Darling, look at me.
846
01:05:09,833 --> 01:05:14,208
Instead of standing by me,
you were just a coward, Aziz. I'm speechless.
847
01:05:14,376 --> 01:05:16,251
Darling, I only wanted to...
- Go!
848
01:05:17,083 --> 01:05:19,793
I don't want to talk to you right now.
Get out.
849
01:05:45,918 --> 01:05:49,418
The baklava from Güllüoğlu
really is in a class of its own.
850
01:05:50,458 --> 01:05:53,458
The military operations
at the border are continuing.
851
01:05:53,793 --> 01:05:58,583
The ministry stated: "We must
fight terrorism at its roots."
852
01:05:58,751 --> 01:06:03,626
Numerous targets were destroyed
in air and ground attacks.
853
01:06:03,876 --> 01:06:06,833
It was strongly emphasised
that these attacks
854
01:06:07,001 --> 01:06:12,043
are in accordance with international law
and necessary for national defence.
855
01:06:20,458 --> 01:06:22,418
That smells nice.
Are you wearing perfume?
856
01:06:22,793 --> 01:06:23,918
Grandma's?
857
01:06:27,793 --> 01:06:31,626
And new earrings? Is that a snake?
Where did you get them?
858
01:06:33,501 --> 01:06:35,793
Who's the lucky one?
- Oh, Mum.
859
01:06:36,418 --> 01:06:39,958
Tell me.
- One of the guitarists, but nothing's going on.
860
01:06:40,833 --> 01:06:43,751
But he gives you presents?
- He doesn't have money for that.
861
01:06:43,918 --> 01:06:47,126
It was probably
just a promotional freebie.
862
01:06:47,293 --> 01:06:49,458
Do you have a photo of him?
863
01:06:49,626 --> 01:06:51,458
No.
He doesn't use social media.
864
01:06:52,293 --> 01:06:54,168
Cool.
- I think so too.
865
01:06:54,458 --> 01:06:56,958
We're going to the theatre
next week.
866
01:06:57,126 --> 01:07:00,126
Bring him along.
- No way.
867
01:07:00,708 --> 01:07:04,626
You don't have to introduce him.
We'll pretend we don't know each other.
868
01:07:04,793 --> 01:07:07,876
I can't tell you anything.
You already want us married.
869
01:07:08,458 --> 01:07:10,501
I'm only curious.
870
01:07:11,083 --> 01:07:14,458
But I have a private life too,
you know?
871
01:07:14,626 --> 01:07:19,543
Darling, mothers want to know
who their children spend time with.
872
01:07:19,708 --> 01:07:22,876
It's no big deal.
We just play guitar together.
873
01:07:23,043 --> 01:07:28,001
Good. I'm happy
when good people come into your life.
874
01:07:28,876 --> 01:07:30,708
But don't tell Dad, okay?
875
01:07:50,501 --> 01:07:52,001
What are you writing?
876
01:07:52,626 --> 01:07:54,208
I'll show you
when it's finished.
877
01:07:55,958 --> 01:07:57,458
What do you think about Ezgi?
878
01:07:58,833 --> 01:08:00,043
What do you mean?
879
01:08:01,543 --> 01:08:03,293
Do you talk to her?
880
01:08:06,418 --> 01:08:08,083
Did I distract you?
881
01:08:08,958 --> 01:08:11,251
We live together.
Of course I talk to her.
882
01:08:11,626 --> 01:08:13,418
But this isn't
about Ezgi right now.
883
01:08:13,876 --> 01:08:15,543
Then what is it about?
- You.
884
01:08:15,918 --> 01:08:16,917
You.
885
01:08:17,876 --> 01:08:20,501
What we're going through
isn't easy for anyone.
886
01:08:20,707 --> 01:08:24,751
But I don't want you
speaking to me like that again.
887
01:08:32,626 --> 01:08:35,332
Dad, can I ask you something?
- Go ahead, my love.
888
01:08:35,626 --> 01:08:37,957
Why didn't you
teach me Kurdish?
889
01:08:38,126 --> 01:08:40,126
You speak Kurdish?
890
01:08:40,707 --> 01:08:44,957
Yes, I'm taking a Kurdish course.
- What for?
891
01:08:45,126 --> 01:08:49,542
It's our mother tongue.
I want to know who I am.
892
01:08:49,917 --> 01:08:53,792
Well, you're Sultan.
- I want to know my roots.
893
01:08:53,957 --> 01:08:55,667
Roots?
You're not a plant!
894
01:08:56,876 --> 01:09:00,957
I'll learn it without your help.
- Great, you'll get a gold star.
895
01:09:01,417 --> 01:09:03,792
Are you making fun of me?
- Not at all.
896
01:09:06,876 --> 01:09:09,832
I don't know
what language to speak to you in.
897
01:09:10,292 --> 01:09:15,042
Maybe I could
learn English too.
898
01:09:16,251 --> 01:09:17,126
"This is a pen."
899
01:09:18,332 --> 01:09:21,751
Sure, Dad:
"This is a potato."
900
01:09:27,417 --> 01:09:28,917
Welcome.
901
01:09:29,082 --> 01:09:31,457
Give me a hug.
- It's good to see you here.
902
01:09:31,876 --> 01:09:34,332
We're happy
to see you too.
903
01:09:34,626 --> 01:09:36,957
There! Again.
- What?
904
01:09:37,292 --> 01:09:40,542
She doesn't like my plural:
"We're happy."
905
01:09:40,707 --> 01:09:45,417
I don't like it
when couples speak for each other.
906
01:09:45,582 --> 01:09:49,542
Aren't you happy to see Baran?
- I'm not happy, I'm elated.
907
01:09:50,292 --> 01:09:52,832
The play was great.
- Thanks, Derya.
908
01:09:53,376 --> 01:09:55,126
Beer? Wine?
What would you like?
909
01:09:55,292 --> 01:09:57,001
Water.
- Beer.
910
01:09:57,292 --> 01:10:00,251
Beer.
- Rojda, two beers and a water, please.
911
01:10:00,417 --> 01:10:01,376
Sure.
912
01:10:02,457 --> 01:10:05,457
Rojda and I run the place.
I'd be lost without her.
913
01:10:12,292 --> 01:10:13,957
No, please.
- No.
914
01:10:14,126 --> 01:10:15,082
We can't accept that.
915
01:10:17,082 --> 01:10:18,082
Thank you.
916
01:10:18,751 --> 01:10:20,792
So, friends,
how's life?
917
01:10:20,957 --> 01:10:23,251
We're getting by.
918
01:10:23,707 --> 01:10:26,542
And your hearing?
- We're still waiting.
919
01:10:26,832 --> 01:10:28,542
Will you be able
to return to the university soon?
920
01:10:29,457 --> 01:10:33,832
That would be my right.
The same goes for my colleagues.
921
01:10:34,001 --> 01:10:38,167
But none of us knows what will happen.
- I know that feeling all too well.
922
01:10:38,667 --> 01:10:40,457
Keep fighting.
- Exactly.
923
01:10:40,792 --> 01:10:42,126
And how are you, Baran?
924
01:10:42,292 --> 01:10:46,792
We're fighting to keep the theatre open.
But only 50 people came today.
925
01:10:47,667 --> 01:10:52,292
If I didn't like you both so much, I'd say:
Come and fight with us here.
926
01:10:53,251 --> 01:10:54,542
Tonight is your night.
927
01:10:55,332 --> 01:10:58,376
Our theatre isn't as big
as what you're used to.
928
01:10:58,792 --> 01:11:00,292
We're here because of you.
929
01:11:00,501 --> 01:11:03,582
That's what I mean:
We could see each other every day.
930
01:11:04,792 --> 01:11:09,626
Let's create something, like we used to.
Actor, writer, stage: it's all here.
931
01:11:09,792 --> 01:11:13,582
The Ministry of Culture and Foreign Affairs
sets the subject matter. That's not up to me.
932
01:11:13,751 --> 01:11:18,626
But all the others are: President, Prime Minister,
Education and Interior. They're all hers.
933
01:11:18,792 --> 01:11:22,707
Exactly. One wrong word
and I'll tear you apart.
934
01:11:23,207 --> 01:11:24,042
Careful.
935
01:11:30,707 --> 01:11:32,707
What do you think
of his suggestion?
936
01:11:34,957 --> 01:11:35,957
Well,
937
01:11:37,082 --> 01:11:41,001
it's not a good time,
with all this uncertainty.
938
01:11:43,792 --> 01:11:47,667
But shouldn't we act
instead of waiting for our fate?
939
01:11:48,126 --> 01:11:49,332
What do you mean?
940
01:11:50,082 --> 01:11:54,582
Didn't you say that in Ankara
we couldn't be as brave as we wanted?
941
01:11:54,751 --> 01:11:57,167
And?
- I agree.
942
01:11:58,042 --> 01:12:02,542
Looking back,
we were unhappy in Ankara, weren't we?
943
01:12:03,126 --> 01:12:06,082
We always had to get
the plays approved first.
944
01:12:08,082 --> 01:12:10,501
And yet we had
such big dreams at the beginning.
945
01:12:12,917 --> 01:12:15,082
Now we dream
of making ends meet.
946
01:12:17,707 --> 01:12:21,251
Making ends meet can't be a dream.
It mustn't be.
947
01:13:15,332 --> 01:13:17,667
Coffee?
- I'll have some of yours.
948
01:13:22,126 --> 01:13:23,251
Here you go.
949
01:13:27,376 --> 01:13:28,876
"Yellow Letters?"
950
01:13:30,626 --> 01:13:32,126
What comes next?
951
01:13:33,626 --> 01:13:35,417
Read it first.
Then we'll talk.
952
01:14:06,832 --> 01:14:07,667
Finished?
953
01:14:17,376 --> 01:14:18,582
What do you think?
954
01:14:19,751 --> 01:14:22,001
Don't you think
we need something like this right now?
955
01:15:07,457 --> 01:15:10,667
YELLOW LETTERS
956
01:15:13,457 --> 01:15:14,292
And go.
957
01:15:17,501 --> 01:15:18,876
One at a time.
958
01:15:19,417 --> 01:15:21,126
Move through.
- Come on.
959
01:15:23,501 --> 01:15:24,626
Keep moving.
960
01:15:24,957 --> 01:15:26,126
Go.
961
01:15:27,417 --> 01:15:28,667
Hurry up.
962
01:15:34,251 --> 01:15:36,167
This way, please.
963
01:15:36,667 --> 01:15:39,917
You go on ahead.
- No, we'll wait.
964
01:15:40,082 --> 01:15:41,876
You can't wait here.
Keep moving!
965
01:15:42,042 --> 01:15:45,501
Do you have a pacemaker
or any other implants?
966
01:15:46,001 --> 01:15:49,082
No, it must be the metal in my bra.
That's all.
967
01:15:49,292 --> 01:15:50,667
Okay, wait here.
968
01:15:52,001 --> 01:15:54,876
Would you like tea or coffee?
- Cut that line.
969
01:15:59,501 --> 01:16:00,626
Peace be upon you.
970
01:16:01,292 --> 01:16:04,332
We're running late, we have to go.
- Okay, no problem.
971
01:16:05,376 --> 01:16:06,792
Go through.
- Here, please.
972
01:16:11,792 --> 01:16:12,792
Jacket.
973
01:16:19,332 --> 01:16:20,332
Shoes.
974
01:16:29,626 --> 01:16:30,626
Bra.
975
01:16:31,292 --> 01:16:32,082
Excuse me?
976
01:16:32,376 --> 01:16:35,251
You need to take off your bra.
- Is this a joke?
977
01:16:35,457 --> 01:16:38,582
We're only following instructions.
- Yes, we're all only following instructions.
978
01:16:38,751 --> 01:16:39,626
Please.
979
01:16:40,417 --> 01:16:41,417
You may proceed.
980
01:16:47,001 --> 01:16:48,792
I told you,
it's the metal part.
981
01:16:49,457 --> 01:16:50,957
Oops, it's beeping again.
982
01:16:51,207 --> 01:16:53,667
Then the trousers have to come off too.
- What?
983
01:16:53,832 --> 01:16:56,207
Take off your trousers.
- Try it without them.
984
01:16:56,376 --> 01:16:58,082
My knickers too?
- Gladly.
985
01:17:00,332 --> 01:17:03,001
Who do you think you're stripping?
- No need to get smart.
986
01:17:03,167 --> 01:17:04,332
Who are you stripping?
987
01:17:04,707 --> 01:17:05,707
Take her away.
988
01:17:05,917 --> 01:17:08,501
What did I do?
- You'll find out.
989
01:17:09,626 --> 01:17:10,957
Okay, okay.
990
01:17:13,001 --> 01:17:14,042
Aziz.
991
01:17:17,876 --> 01:17:20,126
I think the scene
should end differently.
992
01:17:20,292 --> 01:17:21,332
How?
993
01:17:21,876 --> 01:17:24,626
They should strip the woman
completely.
994
01:17:24,792 --> 01:17:25,957
What do you mean?
995
01:17:26,957 --> 01:17:28,001
Completely naked?
996
01:17:28,792 --> 01:17:29,792
Well...
997
01:17:31,292 --> 01:17:32,042
Okay.
998
01:17:32,876 --> 01:17:35,376
What do you think? Completely naked?
- Completely naked?
999
01:17:37,042 --> 01:17:39,707
We're not in Europe,
so I don't know.
1000
01:17:40,042 --> 01:17:41,501
Rojda,
what do you think?
1001
01:17:42,001 --> 01:17:45,957
If you're unsure,
follow the actors' instincts.
1002
01:17:46,417 --> 01:17:51,042
But it's questionable whether the female body
should be put on display like that.
1003
01:17:51,751 --> 01:17:53,917
It's not about
what we want,
1004
01:17:54,251 --> 01:17:57,251
but what the scene requires.
1005
01:17:57,626 --> 01:18:01,751
So the men shouldn't let go of her
until she's taken off her trousers.
1006
01:18:02,626 --> 01:18:04,332
It's about
crossing that boundary.
1007
01:18:04,501 --> 01:18:07,751
They should only arrest her
after they've got what they want.
1008
01:18:11,667 --> 01:18:14,457
Okay, noted.
We'll think about it.
1009
01:18:15,626 --> 01:18:18,626
For now, let's continue
with the arrest.
1010
01:18:27,376 --> 01:18:28,832
In six weeks?
1011
01:18:29,001 --> 01:18:31,917
We can manage it by then.
What do you think?
1012
01:18:32,082 --> 01:18:33,751
We should take our time.
1013
01:18:35,417 --> 01:18:38,082
What do you think of the title?
- What do you mean?
1014
01:18:38,667 --> 01:18:42,251
"Yellow Letters" is fine,
but can we find something better?
1015
01:18:42,457 --> 01:18:45,332
"Yellow Letters" is good.
Our message should be clear.
1016
01:18:45,832 --> 01:18:47,751
I agree.
- Yes, me too.
1017
01:18:48,001 --> 01:18:51,207
Without the yellow letters,
you wouldn't be here, would you?
1018
01:18:52,751 --> 01:18:55,626
Rojda, would you like
to elaborate?
1019
01:18:55,792 --> 01:18:58,707
I'm only saying how it is.
- And how is it?
1020
01:18:59,001 --> 01:19:03,707
You kept well out of it
until it affected you personally.
1021
01:19:03,957 --> 01:19:06,501
You had it comfortable at the State Theatre
for years, didn't you?
1022
01:19:06,957 --> 01:19:08,876
Rojda,
that's not very fair.
1023
01:19:10,082 --> 01:19:12,876
Why do you care how comfortable we were?
- She's right.
1024
01:19:13,042 --> 01:19:15,707
But believe us,
we're taking this very seriously.
1025
01:19:24,667 --> 01:19:26,626
Fine, the premiere
is in six weeks.
1026
01:19:27,082 --> 01:19:29,042
What do you think about the nudity?
1027
01:19:29,457 --> 01:19:30,792
What's her problem?
1028
01:19:30,957 --> 01:19:34,042
Don't take it personally.
Approval for another play is still pending...
1029
01:19:34,207 --> 01:19:35,957
Back to the subject.
- Which one?
1030
01:19:36,126 --> 01:19:37,167
The nudity.
1031
01:19:37,792 --> 01:19:42,126
People won't talk about the play,
but about Derya Tufan being naked.
1032
01:19:42,292 --> 01:19:45,832
Let them talk.
Eyes or breasts, what's the difference?
1033
01:19:46,001 --> 01:19:50,376
Your character doesn't want to undress.
If you do, the political point is lost on me.
1034
01:19:50,707 --> 01:19:52,082
Besides,
1035
01:19:52,792 --> 01:19:55,667
it's questionable whether a male writer
and director
1036
01:19:55,832 --> 01:19:58,542
can demand something like that
from an actress.
1037
01:19:58,751 --> 01:20:02,251
It would be different with a female writer?
And you're afraid of complaints?
1038
01:20:02,957 --> 01:20:04,832
No, we're used to those.
1039
01:20:05,001 --> 01:20:07,126
It was only a suggestion.
1040
01:20:07,292 --> 01:20:10,832
Because you wanted to be braver, Aziz.
That was the idea.
1041
01:20:15,207 --> 01:20:17,457
Anyway,
we'll promote it properly.
1042
01:20:17,917 --> 01:20:20,001
People should know
that you're carrying on.
1043
01:20:20,501 --> 01:20:25,751
Even if the whole world knows, the theatre only has
100 seats. Let's avoid unnecessary costs.
1044
01:20:34,457 --> 01:20:35,667
Ezgi.
1045
01:20:38,376 --> 01:20:39,376
Ezgi.
1046
01:20:41,751 --> 01:20:44,501
Ezgi, have you
fallen into the toilet?
1047
01:20:44,876 --> 01:20:47,292
Come on,
I want to ask you something.
1048
01:20:50,917 --> 01:20:53,042
An actor's part.
Five letters.
1049
01:20:53,292 --> 01:20:55,792
Seriously, Grandma?
"Role," what else?
1050
01:20:56,417 --> 01:20:58,376
Albanian currency.
Three letters.
1051
01:20:58,542 --> 01:20:59,332
Lek.
1052
01:21:00,751 --> 01:21:03,082
Colloquial term for an idiot.
1053
01:21:03,251 --> 01:21:05,376
No idea.
- Numbskull.
1054
01:21:05,542 --> 01:21:06,876
"Numbskull"?
That's brilliant.
1055
01:21:07,876 --> 01:21:10,126
That's still hot.
It'll upset your stomach.
1056
01:21:10,292 --> 01:21:11,792
I'm meeting some friends.
1057
01:21:11,957 --> 01:21:15,001
But it'll be dark soon.
- We're meeting right outside.
1058
01:21:15,167 --> 01:21:18,957
Hang on, where are you going?
And who are you meeting?
1059
01:21:20,251 --> 01:21:24,376
I'm meeting friends and I have my phone.
Just getting some fresh air, don't worry.
1060
01:21:29,792 --> 01:21:31,207
Hi.
- Hi.
1061
01:21:35,376 --> 01:21:36,582
Let's go.
1062
01:21:38,042 --> 01:21:42,167
Do you know what a "Stoffel" is?
- Stoffel? Some kind of demon?
1063
01:21:42,376 --> 01:21:44,501
No.
Another word for an idiot.
1064
01:21:48,207 --> 01:21:50,457
"Your Honour, esteemed court,
1065
01:21:50,832 --> 01:21:55,792
as a law-abiding citizen
who has always fulfilled his obligations
1066
01:21:56,042 --> 01:21:57,957
and has never been
in conflict with the law,
1067
01:21:58,126 --> 01:22:02,042
I am surprised
by the seriousness of these charges."
1068
01:22:03,626 --> 01:22:05,251
That's good.
- Yes.
1069
01:22:08,542 --> 01:22:09,751
"I am an academic
1070
01:22:09,917 --> 01:22:14,501
and I simply wish to pursue
my scholarly work in peace.
1071
01:22:15,957 --> 01:22:20,167
Freedom of opinion and expression
are indispensable to any democracy.
1072
01:22:20,332 --> 01:22:25,251
Social problems should be resolved through dialogue
and reason, not through violence."
1073
01:22:33,332 --> 01:22:35,832
Derya, I have
an interesting project for you:
1074
01:22:36,001 --> 01:22:38,876
the lead role in a series
with a great team
1075
01:22:39,332 --> 01:22:41,751
and a solid budget.
1076
01:22:42,792 --> 01:22:44,626
That's not
what we agreed.
1077
01:22:44,917 --> 01:22:46,917
I know.
- Coffee, Derya?
1078
01:22:47,082 --> 01:22:51,207
I wouldn't bother you
if it weren't perfect for you.
1079
01:22:52,792 --> 01:22:57,207
"I have merely criticised the wars
that have raged for years,
1080
01:22:57,376 --> 01:23:00,832
claiming countless lives
and leaving deep scars on our society.
1081
01:23:01,001 --> 01:23:05,626
And I encouraged people
to express their desire for peace without fear.
1082
01:23:05,792 --> 01:23:11,042
There was no criminal intent, no instructions,
and no propaganda on behalf of others."
1083
01:23:11,251 --> 01:23:14,667
I'm waiting.
- No, say the line first, then walk through.
1084
01:23:14,832 --> 01:23:17,626
That's what we agreed.
With the opening line.
1085
01:23:17,792 --> 01:23:21,501
I'm waiting,
without knowing what for.
1086
01:23:22,501 --> 01:23:23,667
The princess is here.
1087
01:23:26,001 --> 01:23:28,001
Princess, my foot.
- Come on.
1088
01:23:28,167 --> 01:23:29,917
Sorry.
Come back.
1089
01:23:31,042 --> 01:23:33,832
What's with the arms?
- You do it then.
1090
01:23:35,457 --> 01:23:37,126
I'm not an actor.
1091
01:23:41,501 --> 01:23:43,957
Twelve brands.
I found the cheapest one.
1092
01:23:44,457 --> 01:23:48,207
Choosing well is important,
just like with friends.
1093
01:23:48,417 --> 01:23:49,501
Excuse me?
1094
01:23:50,751 --> 01:23:54,251
You mean İso? We're not even together.
- And his surname?
1095
01:23:54,792 --> 01:23:57,292
Mum, what's this about?
- Try to understand!
1096
01:23:57,501 --> 01:23:59,707
I don't want
to have to worry.
1097
01:23:59,876 --> 01:24:03,292
Karacabaş.
There, are you happy now?
1098
01:24:03,457 --> 01:24:06,667
Or do you need his ID number,
his address, or anything else?
1099
01:24:08,251 --> 01:24:09,332
Tomato sauce.
1100
01:24:10,042 --> 01:24:10,876
Tomato sauce.
1101
01:24:11,792 --> 01:24:15,876
"I reject the accusations
and demand my immediate acquittal."
1102
01:24:18,376 --> 01:24:21,957
Our students are looking forward to seeing you!
- Yes, Monday...
1103
01:24:22,126 --> 01:24:24,292
We miss you here.
- The big day has arrived.
1104
01:24:24,457 --> 01:24:26,751
And your defence statement?
- Derya's reading it now.
1105
01:24:26,917 --> 01:24:28,667
Best regards.
- She sends her regards.
1106
01:24:28,832 --> 01:24:31,667
Give her my regards too.
- Okay, take care.
1107
01:24:33,376 --> 01:24:34,667
Short and to the point.
1108
01:24:35,917 --> 01:24:36,917
Good.
1109
01:24:44,542 --> 01:24:47,082
Kids...
- Oh, we woke you.
1110
01:24:47,332 --> 01:24:49,332
What time is it?
- It's five o'clock.
1111
01:24:50,457 --> 01:24:53,207
I couldn't sleep anyway.
Have you eaten?
1112
01:24:54,126 --> 01:24:55,876
We've brought something.
1113
01:24:56,332 --> 01:24:58,792
Remember Ezgi's sandwiches
in the fridge.
1114
01:24:58,957 --> 01:25:00,001
Don't worry.
1115
01:25:00,167 --> 01:25:03,042
We have to go, the train won't wait.
- Give me a hug.
1116
01:25:05,417 --> 01:25:08,332
Defend your rights to the very end,
my son.
1117
01:25:09,376 --> 01:25:10,792
I'll be praying for you.
1118
01:25:11,957 --> 01:25:13,001
Bye.
1119
01:25:53,876 --> 01:25:55,001
There they are.
1120
01:25:55,167 --> 01:25:57,167
Come on, everyone,
we're running late.
1121
01:26:26,542 --> 01:26:30,207
If an idea isn't a crime,
then expressing it isn't either.
1122
01:26:30,707 --> 01:26:33,626
Order!
Take your seat again.
1123
01:26:33,792 --> 01:26:36,707
Our time is being wasted here.
There is no crime.
1124
01:26:36,876 --> 01:26:39,457
One day we'll return to the campus.
- Exactly.
1125
01:26:41,917 --> 01:26:43,957
This is not a lecture hall.
1126
01:26:44,292 --> 01:26:47,292
Don't forget that.
Right, let's continue.
1127
01:26:47,707 --> 01:26:50,042
2018-24.
- Present.
1128
01:26:57,207 --> 01:27:00,251
You are the son
of Mehmet and Güngör,
1129
01:27:00,417 --> 01:27:04,001
born on 12 January 1975
in Kadıköy, Istanbul,
1130
01:27:04,501 --> 01:27:10,001
currently registered at Başak Sokak 6, Flat 1,
Esadoğlu district, Çankaya, Ankara.
1131
01:27:10,207 --> 01:27:12,207
Is that correct?
- I live in Istanbul.
1132
01:27:12,376 --> 01:27:17,082
Evin Park Sitesi, Block C,
Flat 46, Fikirtepe,
1133
01:27:17,332 --> 01:27:18,792
Kadıköy, Istanbul.
1134
01:27:18,957 --> 01:27:20,792
Level of education?
- PhD.
1135
01:27:21,082 --> 01:27:22,626
Occupation?
1136
01:27:22,792 --> 01:27:26,251
Academic. I was dismissed.
- What is your income?
1137
01:27:26,917 --> 01:27:30,917
I currently have no fixed salary.
I'm working as a taxi driver.
1138
01:27:31,917 --> 01:27:35,707
I earn less than the minimum wage.
- Turkish citizen, no prior convictions.
1139
01:27:37,126 --> 01:27:39,751
A complaint
has been filed against you.
1140
01:27:39,957 --> 01:27:44,917
You also posted
a number of comments about the President.
1141
01:27:45,832 --> 01:27:47,501
Would you like to respond?
1142
01:27:49,082 --> 01:27:52,001
I'm not only an academic,
I'm also a writer.
1143
01:27:52,376 --> 01:27:55,376
I live in a world
of ideas and imagination.
1144
01:27:55,542 --> 01:27:59,707
Everything I write, including my plays,
is inspired by life.
1145
01:27:59,917 --> 01:28:03,876
I published those posts
in light of the political situation.
1146
01:28:04,126 --> 01:28:07,251
I do not consider them insulting
and I reject the accusations.
1147
01:28:07,751 --> 01:28:11,832
Here is our written submission,
but I would also like to address the court.
1148
01:28:12,001 --> 01:28:16,251
There are hundreds of hearings still to come.
I'll give you three sentences.
1149
01:28:16,457 --> 01:28:17,667
Three sentences?
1150
01:28:17,832 --> 01:28:20,292
Order!
- That's unacceptable.
1151
01:28:21,001 --> 01:28:25,792
My client is right. Our statement has already been
submitted to the prosecutor. We reject the charges.
1152
01:28:26,126 --> 01:28:30,751
His posts express criticism.
They do not constitute a criminal offence.
1153
01:28:30,917 --> 01:28:35,251
Following a complaint,
his social media accounts were searched.
1154
01:28:35,751 --> 01:28:40,082
The police, prosecution and courts
acted with unusual speed.
1155
01:28:40,251 --> 01:28:45,292
The aim was to intimidate my client
and deter him from making further posts.
1156
01:28:45,501 --> 01:28:49,001
All of his statements fall under
the right to freedom of expression.
1157
01:28:49,832 --> 01:28:54,707
I request that the travel ban be lifted
and that my client be acquitted.
1158
01:28:55,207 --> 01:28:56,707
Objection!
1159
01:28:57,292 --> 01:29:00,126
We investigated
the complaint against him.
1160
01:29:00,292 --> 01:29:05,207
He encouraged his students in class
to take part in a demonstration.
1161
01:29:05,957 --> 01:29:09,707
And he pressured students
who refused.
1162
01:29:10,542 --> 01:29:15,957
Although the demonstration was called "No to War,"
it was clearly directed against our state.
1163
01:29:17,082 --> 01:29:19,582
There is a video
from the classroom.
1164
01:29:19,876 --> 01:29:22,207
We request
that it be shown now.
1165
01:29:22,376 --> 01:29:25,042
The video was not part
of the indictment.
1166
01:29:25,457 --> 01:29:28,082
We therefore request
that it not be admitted.
1167
01:29:29,876 --> 01:29:31,792
That is for the court to decide.
1168
01:29:32,626 --> 01:29:36,126
How long is the video?
- Very short, Your Honour. Thirty seconds.
1169
01:29:36,832 --> 01:29:38,457
The court rules:
1170
01:29:42,251 --> 01:29:45,667
The video is admitted
and will be played.
1171
01:29:46,332 --> 01:29:47,876
But make it quick.
1172
01:29:55,626 --> 01:29:56,832
Everyone,
1173
01:29:57,457 --> 01:30:00,667
if you've never experienced
our State Theatre live,
1174
01:30:01,001 --> 01:30:04,126
then I can't teach you
anything about dramaturgy.
1175
01:30:04,917 --> 01:30:06,457
Don't miss
the opportunity.
1176
01:30:06,626 --> 01:30:09,792
With your permission, I'll head off then.
- Go ahead.
1177
01:30:12,082 --> 01:30:13,167
Well?
1178
01:30:13,707 --> 01:30:14,832
Anyone else?
1179
01:30:15,001 --> 01:30:17,251
I'd rather
stay here.
1180
01:30:17,957 --> 01:30:20,957
Me too.
- We're here to study.
1181
01:30:22,751 --> 01:30:23,832
To study.
1182
01:30:29,626 --> 01:30:32,126
As you can see,
the recording is very clear.
1183
01:30:33,042 --> 01:30:38,832
We therefore request criminal charges
for terrorist propaganda
1184
01:30:39,001 --> 01:30:41,457
and insulting our state.
1185
01:30:43,207 --> 01:30:44,832
The court rules:
1186
01:30:47,792 --> 01:30:53,542
The travel ban
against the defendant remains in force.
1187
01:30:53,876 --> 01:30:56,501
There is reasonable suspicion
of a serious offence.
1188
01:30:57,001 --> 01:31:00,082
In addition,
judicial supervision is ordered.
1189
01:31:00,292 --> 01:31:04,792
The request for criminal charges
will be considered at a later date.
1190
01:31:28,751 --> 01:31:32,251
Your mother called three times.
- She called me too. What happened?
1191
01:31:33,792 --> 01:31:35,042
I'll find out.
1192
01:31:40,207 --> 01:31:42,082
Hello, Mum?
1193
01:31:43,667 --> 01:31:47,957
They pulled new charges out of thin air
and the judge simply allowed them:
1194
01:31:48,792 --> 01:31:50,957
Terrorism
and insulting the state.
1195
01:31:51,792 --> 01:31:54,207
We're waiting
for further hearings.
1196
01:31:54,832 --> 01:31:56,332
I'm so sorry.
1197
01:32:00,457 --> 01:32:02,126
Tell me, what's happened?
1198
01:32:03,501 --> 01:32:04,626
Give it to me.
1199
01:32:06,001 --> 01:32:07,792
Mum, what happened?
1200
01:32:09,001 --> 01:32:10,207
What do you mean, she's not listening?
1201
01:32:14,457 --> 01:32:16,042
Okay, Mum.
1202
01:32:16,876 --> 01:32:18,126
We're coming.
1203
01:32:18,707 --> 01:32:20,207
What's going on?
1204
01:32:20,957 --> 01:32:23,457
We have to go back.
- What's happened? Where are you going?
1205
01:32:23,626 --> 01:32:26,667
Everyone, we're needed in Istanbul.
We have to go.
1206
01:32:26,832 --> 01:32:28,082
Oh, come on!
1207
01:32:28,251 --> 01:32:31,792
You can't be serious!
- We don't have any choice, Fiko.
1208
01:32:31,957 --> 01:32:34,626
But we hardly
ever see you anymore.
1209
01:32:34,792 --> 01:32:36,957
Aziz, I can go and you stay.
- No, no.
1210
01:32:37,126 --> 01:32:38,207
Fiko, please.
1211
01:32:38,376 --> 01:32:42,751
We're family,
but you're just never here.
1212
01:32:42,917 --> 01:32:45,001
Just let him go.
- Go where?
1213
01:32:45,167 --> 01:32:47,751
We were supposed to teach
in the park together tomorrow.
1214
01:32:47,917 --> 01:32:51,207
Your students
are looking forward to seeing you.
1215
01:32:51,376 --> 01:32:53,332
Okay, okay,
next time then.
1216
01:32:53,917 --> 01:32:58,376
That's not how it works. You have to
take responsibility too.
1217
01:32:58,667 --> 01:33:02,876
Isn't that right, everyone? Today
we could have ended up in prison.
1218
01:33:03,457 --> 01:33:05,126
You're exaggerating.
- No, I'm not.
1219
01:33:05,292 --> 01:33:10,001
We're raising a child,
and we're not going back for fun.
1220
01:33:10,167 --> 01:33:12,457
Then go.
I'm done talking.
1221
01:33:12,626 --> 01:33:15,792
You're talking nonsense.
- I'm talking nonsense?
1222
01:33:15,957 --> 01:33:19,667
Fine, I said nothing.
- Ezgi's struggling and my mother's alone.
1223
01:33:19,832 --> 01:33:22,917
I have to go to Istanbul, end of story.
Good night, everyone.
1224
01:33:23,082 --> 01:33:25,957
Fine. Good night.
We'll manage on our own.
1225
01:33:26,126 --> 01:33:29,167
Out of order!
- Out of order?
1226
01:33:30,626 --> 01:33:33,626
What rubbish!
What absolute nonsense.
1227
01:33:35,126 --> 01:33:36,957
Now we're
fighting among ourselves.
1228
01:34:16,251 --> 01:34:17,751
I wanted to talk to her.
1229
01:34:18,417 --> 01:34:23,667
"Stop going through my things!"
she shouted, then ran off.
1230
01:34:24,082 --> 01:34:25,876
She was gone for hours.
1231
01:34:26,126 --> 01:34:28,501
With whom? And where?
I was terrified.
1232
01:34:28,667 --> 01:34:30,707
We need to find
a place of our own soon.
1233
01:34:30,917 --> 01:34:33,126
That's your takeaway from all this?
1234
01:34:33,292 --> 01:34:35,792
Don't get me wrong,
it has nothing to do with you.
1235
01:34:35,957 --> 01:34:37,707
Okay, let's leave it.
1236
01:34:38,832 --> 01:34:40,082
I'll talk to her.
1237
01:34:44,707 --> 01:34:46,332
Open up, it's me.
1238
01:35:00,292 --> 01:35:01,332
Ezgi.
1239
01:35:03,126 --> 01:35:06,082
Look at me.
- Dad, just leave me alone.
1240
01:35:06,251 --> 01:35:07,751
Okay, here.
1241
01:35:09,082 --> 01:35:10,251
Light one up.
1242
01:35:11,751 --> 01:35:13,251
Let's have a smoke together.
1243
01:35:14,501 --> 01:35:17,917
What can I really say to you?
I smoke too.
1244
01:35:18,626 --> 01:35:21,126
And you're not a child anymore.
You understand everything.
1245
01:35:21,332 --> 01:35:25,207
Dad, your understanding attitude
is really annoying.
1246
01:35:25,501 --> 01:35:28,457
What do you expect?
That I should act like an authoritarian?
1247
01:35:29,042 --> 01:35:31,457
With rules, punishments,
and all that?
1248
01:35:31,792 --> 01:35:36,626
We want to protect you,
but I also want to be able to trust you.
1249
01:35:36,792 --> 01:35:40,626
She went through my bag.
- No one was going through your bag.
1250
01:35:40,792 --> 01:35:46,292
We understand why you're upset,
but Grandma was only looking for dirty laundry.
1251
01:35:47,042 --> 01:35:51,167
If I read your notebook,
you'd be angry too, wouldn't you?
1252
01:35:52,751 --> 01:35:53,667
Here.
1253
01:35:54,457 --> 01:35:56,082
Go ahead, have a look.
1254
01:35:56,292 --> 01:35:59,082
Some of the notes
are a bit free-associative.
1255
01:36:00,126 --> 01:36:03,001
My defence statement from today
is in there too, if you're interested.
1256
01:36:03,167 --> 01:36:04,376
I'm not.
1257
01:36:06,292 --> 01:36:08,876
Well,
I'll just leave it here.
1258
01:36:30,792 --> 01:36:32,042
DELETE POST
1259
01:36:34,126 --> 01:36:35,292
DELETE POST
1260
01:36:43,707 --> 01:36:46,042
Raşit, I don't know
what to say.
1261
01:36:47,292 --> 01:36:49,457
It was only an offer,
my dear.
1262
01:36:51,001 --> 01:36:52,542
And I stand by it.
1263
01:36:54,292 --> 01:36:56,207
Do we really
have to do this?
1264
01:36:57,376 --> 01:36:58,457
Do what?
1265
01:36:59,626 --> 01:37:01,457
These conversations.
1266
01:37:02,126 --> 01:37:04,126
We could
cut them short.
1267
01:37:04,501 --> 01:37:07,001
We both know
how this ends.
1268
01:37:08,126 --> 01:37:09,707
What are you trying to say?
1269
01:37:10,207 --> 01:37:13,501
I'll say, "You're suffocating me.
Can't you see that?"
1270
01:37:13,751 --> 01:37:19,251
Then you'll say, "It's not easy
having an affair like this."
1271
01:37:19,501 --> 01:37:23,626
Then I'll say, "Sorry, but that's
your problem, your responsibility.
1272
01:37:24,042 --> 01:37:26,626
Now you want to support me
because I'm ill,
1273
01:37:26,792 --> 01:37:29,207
but I don't want compassion
or pity."
1274
01:37:29,626 --> 01:37:34,207
Then you'll talk about your feelings, I won't
want to hear them, and we'll go round in circles.
1275
01:37:36,251 --> 01:37:39,751
Then you'll pull that sad face,
which I sometimes find sexy.
1276
01:37:40,626 --> 01:37:42,501
And then comes
your big moment.
1277
01:37:42,792 --> 01:37:46,457
You stand up and announce,
like some great philosopher:
1278
01:37:47,332 --> 01:37:50,251
"Yes, I think
a little distance would do us both good."
1279
01:37:51,957 --> 01:37:55,332
Then you pack your things
and just like that,
1280
01:37:56,082 --> 01:37:58,332
you walk away!
- Walk away? To where?
1281
01:37:59,626 --> 01:38:02,292
Cut.
You go back to your wife.
1282
01:38:04,292 --> 01:38:08,457
You were wonderful. Thank you, everyone.
- I thought she was about to eat me alive.
1283
01:38:08,626 --> 01:38:11,042
That's not how I'd imagined
the character at all,
1284
01:38:11,207 --> 01:38:13,751
but it's incredibly effective.
Thank you, Derya.
1285
01:38:13,957 --> 01:38:15,332
No, thank you.
1286
01:38:15,957 --> 01:38:17,167
When will you know?
1287
01:38:17,917 --> 01:38:19,501
When we'll know?
1288
01:38:20,832 --> 01:38:24,082
As soon as possible.
- We'll let you know very soon.
1289
01:38:24,501 --> 01:38:27,417
Great.
Derya, come with me.
1290
01:38:29,957 --> 01:38:31,957
Take care.
- Thank you. Bye.
1291
01:38:33,501 --> 01:38:35,001
Bye.
- See you soon.
1292
01:38:43,417 --> 01:38:45,667
It's not working.
- I'll fix it later.
1293
01:38:45,832 --> 01:38:48,042
Should she move around
while she's speaking?
1294
01:38:48,207 --> 01:38:50,207
Like yesterday.
- Like in the last rehearsal.
1295
01:38:50,376 --> 01:38:51,832
Then she sits here.
1296
01:38:54,542 --> 01:38:56,376
That way
it's less static.
1297
01:38:59,501 --> 01:39:01,792
Where have you been?
You weren't answering your phone.
1298
01:39:01,957 --> 01:39:02,957
I'm here now.
1299
01:39:03,126 --> 01:39:05,582
But we've all
been waiting.
1300
01:39:05,751 --> 01:39:07,167
I had something to do.
- Something to do?
1301
01:39:07,457 --> 01:39:11,542
Aziz, let's not argue.
I'm here now, okay?
1302
01:39:11,707 --> 01:39:12,792
Let's go.
1303
01:39:13,082 --> 01:39:16,957
No rush. Go grab a coffee first.
- No, thanks. Where are we?
1304
01:39:17,126 --> 01:39:18,207
"I'm waiting."
1305
01:39:18,957 --> 01:39:22,457
All right, we'll start with Act Three,
the monologue.
1306
01:39:39,417 --> 01:39:40,292
I'm waiting.
1307
01:39:42,876 --> 01:39:44,042
I've been waiting
for quite some time.
1308
01:39:44,957 --> 01:39:47,207
And I don't even know
what I'm waiting for.
1309
01:39:48,042 --> 01:39:49,332
But I'm waiting.
1310
01:39:50,626 --> 01:39:52,167
Perhaps you know:
1311
01:39:53,001 --> 01:39:58,792
Making someone wait
is a way of exercising power and control.
1312
01:39:59,292 --> 01:40:03,126
Making someone wait
is a tool of authoritarian regimes.
1313
01:40:03,832 --> 01:40:05,001
But...
1314
01:40:05,501 --> 01:40:08,251
when you don't know
what you're actually waiting for,
1315
01:40:08,626 --> 01:40:12,251
the uncertainty consumes you.
You drown in it.
1316
01:40:13,001 --> 01:40:18,292
And uncertainty is not only an authoritarian
method, but a totalitarian one.
1317
01:40:30,876 --> 01:40:31,876
What's wrong?
1318
01:40:38,542 --> 01:40:40,792
Aziz, I don't know.
- You don't know what?
1319
01:40:45,876 --> 01:40:49,917
Self-determination,
all well and good,
1320
01:40:50,417 --> 01:40:53,667
but it feels
self-indulgent.
1321
01:40:54,001 --> 01:40:58,501
It's too didactic:
"This is this, that is that."
1322
01:40:59,376 --> 01:41:01,667
I think we need
to rewrite the text.
1323
01:41:01,832 --> 01:41:03,126
Oh, come on, Derya.
1324
01:41:03,376 --> 01:41:06,332
Shall we take a short break?
- A break? We've only just started.
1325
01:41:06,667 --> 01:41:07,957
Excuse me.
1326
01:41:13,457 --> 01:41:14,751
Where are you going?
1327
01:41:17,126 --> 01:41:18,626
Where are you going,
Derya?
1328
01:41:54,792 --> 01:41:56,792
Is there something
you'd like to tell me?
1329
01:41:59,542 --> 01:42:03,042
Shall we go out for pizza tonight?
Ezgi would love that.
1330
01:42:03,376 --> 01:42:05,876
My mother's bought meat.
It'll only cause trouble.
1331
01:42:06,042 --> 01:42:08,457
As long as she's happy.
- Is something bothering you?
1332
01:42:08,626 --> 01:42:11,042
I've got a headache.
Probably my period.
1333
01:42:11,207 --> 01:42:13,707
All right, shall we
call it a day?
1334
01:42:14,251 --> 01:42:16,251
Who was on the phone?
- A friend.
1335
01:42:16,501 --> 01:42:18,042
A friend?
Very nice.
1336
01:42:18,207 --> 01:42:20,126
Do I have to justify myself?
- No.
1337
01:42:20,292 --> 01:42:24,001
I'm just wondering
why you're not fully committed.
1338
01:42:24,332 --> 01:42:28,501
Aziz, it's all getting too much. Can't the play
wait until our lives are back in order?
1339
01:42:28,667 --> 01:42:32,457
This is where we're putting
our lives back in order, Derya.
Don't embarrass us.
1340
01:42:32,667 --> 01:42:35,207
In front of whom?
- The people who've taken us in.
1341
01:42:35,417 --> 01:42:38,876
We have to pull together.
Otherwise Rojda was right.
1342
01:42:39,042 --> 01:42:41,251
Okay.
Forget it, Aziz.
1343
01:42:43,626 --> 01:42:45,251
I'm talking to you!
1344
01:42:50,001 --> 01:42:53,292
Enjoying your meal?
- Yes, but I don't eat meat anymore.
1345
01:42:54,957 --> 01:42:57,876
Those chops
cost a fortune.
1346
01:42:58,042 --> 01:43:00,082
All the more reason
not to eat meat.
1347
01:43:00,792 --> 01:43:03,292
There used to be a saying:
If there's meat in the house, there's no trouble.
1348
01:43:03,501 --> 01:43:05,751
Back then meat was precious.
- Sure, Dad.
1349
01:43:05,917 --> 01:43:08,207
I don't suppose
that's changed.
1350
01:43:09,917 --> 01:43:11,332
Derya,
you're not eating at all.
1351
01:43:11,501 --> 01:43:13,667
Mum's on a beer diet.
- Barley juice.
1352
01:43:14,376 --> 01:43:16,751
Thank you,
it's all delicious.
1353
01:43:16,917 --> 01:43:20,751
I was actually going to take you all out tonight,
but this will do just as well.
1354
01:43:21,001 --> 01:43:22,957
I have something
to tell you.
1355
01:43:24,082 --> 01:43:25,167
What is it?
1356
01:43:26,417 --> 01:43:29,082
Are you pregnant?
- Mum, please.
1357
01:43:29,667 --> 01:43:32,626
Me, a big sister.
- I'm too old for that.
1358
01:43:32,792 --> 01:43:35,667
Why? These days women can have children
even at fifty.
1359
01:43:35,832 --> 01:43:37,667
Anyway,
what I wanted to tell you is:
1360
01:43:39,876 --> 01:43:41,626
I have a new job.
1361
01:43:42,457 --> 01:43:43,917
What kind of job?
1362
01:43:44,292 --> 01:43:45,876
A TV series.
The lead role.
1363
01:43:46,667 --> 01:43:47,751
Really?
1364
01:43:51,001 --> 01:43:52,832
Go on,
we're listening.
1365
01:43:53,292 --> 01:43:57,251
I play a wealthy city woman
who owns an advertising agency:
1366
01:43:57,417 --> 01:44:01,042
"Garden of Eden."
That's the name of the series too.
1367
01:44:01,917 --> 01:44:06,751
She has affairs but nothing serious,
and she always speaks her mind.
1368
01:44:07,667 --> 01:44:12,457
Her father lives with her and always thinks
he's ill... What's the word again?
1369
01:44:12,667 --> 01:44:14,792
A hypochondriac.
- Exactly.
1370
01:44:15,542 --> 01:44:18,417
He keeps calling her,
so she gets a second phone.
1371
01:44:18,582 --> 01:44:20,332
And then?
- Well...
1372
01:44:21,332 --> 01:44:25,332
The director, Cemre Çiğdem,
is a talented young filmmaker, and the team is great.
1373
01:44:26,292 --> 01:44:28,751
You've already met the team?
When?
1374
01:44:28,957 --> 01:44:31,126
Over the past few days.
It all happened very quickly.
1375
01:44:31,332 --> 01:44:34,001
So that was the call today.
Why didn't you say anything?
1376
01:44:34,167 --> 01:44:37,876
I went to the audition,
but nothing was certain yet.
1377
01:44:38,207 --> 01:44:41,332
Which channel?
- Kanal K. We start next week.
1378
01:44:42,707 --> 01:44:43,917
Kanal K?
1379
01:44:46,626 --> 01:44:52,626
Is that why you want to postpone our play?
- Yes, or someone else can play my part.
1380
01:44:52,792 --> 01:44:54,626
Hang on.
Someone else?
1381
01:44:56,082 --> 01:45:02,917
Kanal K? Next week? Someone else?
Can you hear yourself?
1382
01:45:03,082 --> 01:45:07,457
It's a chance to finally take action.
- So now we're opportunists, are we?
1383
01:45:07,667 --> 01:45:09,751
That channel
slandered us.
1384
01:45:09,917 --> 01:45:13,376
This is about Ezgi's future.
If you can't understand that...
1385
01:45:13,542 --> 01:45:17,542
Future? You should ask yourself
what kind of society those shows portray.
1386
01:45:17,707 --> 01:45:23,376
The scripts are very progressive.
And fringe theatre can't support a family.
1387
01:45:23,542 --> 01:45:26,207
We're practically
living off you here.
1388
01:45:27,082 --> 01:45:28,707
My home is your home too.
1389
01:45:28,876 --> 01:45:32,457
No, Mum, it's your home
and we're guests.
1390
01:45:33,832 --> 01:45:35,292
What are they paying?
1391
01:45:36,126 --> 01:45:39,001
Sorry?
- She means your fee.
1392
01:45:40,126 --> 01:45:44,001
Enough to give us some breathing room
and pay for Ezgi's school.
1393
01:45:44,167 --> 01:45:48,751
I don't want to go to a private school.
- Mum, hadn't you offered to help?
1394
01:45:48,917 --> 01:45:50,376
With what?
- Ezgi's school.
1395
01:45:50,542 --> 01:45:53,417
I don't want the stupid school.
- Does your offer still stand?
1396
01:45:53,582 --> 01:45:57,626
That's very kind, but I want
to earn my own money.
1397
01:45:57,792 --> 01:46:00,251
You were the one
talking about self-determination.
1398
01:46:00,457 --> 01:46:04,251
You see, everyone has their price.
- Excuse me?
1399
01:46:04,417 --> 01:46:07,001
You heard me.
- What are you talking about?
1400
01:46:07,626 --> 01:46:10,251
Aziz, look at me.
1401
01:46:10,501 --> 01:46:15,376
You shut your eyes to reality.
Your obsession with art is out of touch and vain.
1402
01:46:15,542 --> 01:46:19,542
Mum, talk some sense into her.
- "Her"? You're calling me "her"?
1403
01:46:19,792 --> 01:46:23,626
Let's talk about this.
If she earns her own money, that's a good thing.
1404
01:46:23,792 --> 01:46:26,626
Money, money, money!
That's all anyone talks about.
1405
01:46:26,792 --> 01:46:29,292
That's exactly where they want us,
don't you understand?
1406
01:46:29,501 --> 01:46:31,042
I'm tired of resisting.
1407
01:46:31,207 --> 01:46:34,957
Are you a resistance fighter now
just because you clashed with the theatre?
1408
01:46:35,126 --> 01:46:36,751
I wish I hadn't bothered.
- Exactly.
1409
01:46:36,917 --> 01:46:39,001
But you have no right
to judge me.
1410
01:46:39,167 --> 01:46:42,126
They're out on the streets in Ankara
while you're here stroking your ego.
1411
01:46:42,292 --> 01:46:45,332
My ego? Shame on you!
- Friends tell each other the truth.
1412
01:46:45,501 --> 01:46:48,917
I'm not your friend.
If I'd known you could be bought...
1413
01:46:49,082 --> 01:46:50,207
Then what?
1414
01:46:51,876 --> 01:46:53,376
Finish the sentence.
1415
01:47:00,751 --> 01:47:02,082
Where are you going?
1416
01:47:23,917 --> 01:47:24,917
She's not answering.
1417
01:47:26,292 --> 01:47:29,207
It's all right.
They're probably together.
1418
01:47:30,751 --> 01:47:33,207
I really didn't mean for that to happen.
I'm sorry.
1419
01:47:35,207 --> 01:47:36,667
I'm on your side.
1420
01:47:37,542 --> 01:47:40,251
If you can earn your own money,
do it.
1421
01:47:54,917 --> 01:47:55,792
Hello?
1422
01:47:55,957 --> 01:47:57,167
Where are you, Aziz?
1423
01:47:57,751 --> 01:48:00,707
On my way to Baran's
to tell him we're pulling out.
1424
01:48:00,876 --> 01:48:03,332
I'll do that myself,
don't worry.
1425
01:48:03,792 --> 01:48:06,626
Is that why you're calling?
- Is Ezgi with you?
1426
01:48:07,792 --> 01:48:08,832
No, why?
1427
01:48:09,001 --> 01:48:11,957
I thought she'd followed you.
- Have you called her?
1428
01:48:12,126 --> 01:48:14,792
Several times.
We can't reach her or her friends.
1429
01:48:14,957 --> 01:48:17,376
Where could she be, Derya?
- I don't know.
1430
01:48:17,626 --> 01:48:20,376
Maybe she's at your brother's?
- Why would she be there?
1431
01:48:20,542 --> 01:48:22,707
Never mind, I'm coming back.
See you soon.
1432
01:48:31,707 --> 01:48:32,751
Nothing.
1433
01:48:34,792 --> 01:48:35,792
Where could she be?
1434
01:48:37,542 --> 01:48:39,167
Let's go to the police.
1435
01:48:39,332 --> 01:48:41,751
Should I come?
- Stay here in case she comes back.
1436
01:48:46,251 --> 01:48:47,667
Hello?
- Hi, brother.
1437
01:48:47,832 --> 01:48:49,751
What's wrong, Derya?
- Are you asleep?
1438
01:48:50,082 --> 01:48:52,792
No, we're awake.
- I don't want to disturb you.
1439
01:48:52,957 --> 01:48:56,707
Don't be silly, what's wrong?
- We've got a bit of a crisis.
1440
01:48:56,876 --> 01:48:58,876
What do you mean?
- Is Ezgi there by any chance?
1441
01:48:59,042 --> 01:49:00,501
Ezgi? No.
1442
01:49:00,876 --> 01:49:03,501
Okay, thanks.
- What's going on?
1443
01:49:04,042 --> 01:49:08,207
I have to go. I'll call you later.
- It's the middle of the night. Hello?
1444
01:49:09,626 --> 01:49:13,501
Not there either? Where can she be?
The streets are full of lowlifes at night.
1445
01:49:13,707 --> 01:49:16,417
Well, there is this boy.
- What boy?
1446
01:49:16,582 --> 01:49:19,626
The one she's been seeing.
- What are you talking about, Derya?
1447
01:49:19,792 --> 01:49:24,082
Our daughter's boyfriend, Aziz.
- Great, you tell me now? Who is he?
1448
01:49:24,251 --> 01:49:26,501
İso or İsmail.
From school.
1449
01:49:26,667 --> 01:49:29,167
They play guitar together.
She said nothing was going on.
1450
01:49:29,332 --> 01:49:33,501
Didn't you ask who he was,
what his parents do, where he lives?
1451
01:49:33,667 --> 01:49:37,042
I did, but she wouldn't tell me anything.
- You're both driving me crazy.
1452
01:49:37,292 --> 01:49:41,667
In my own family,
I'm the odd one out.
1453
01:49:41,832 --> 01:49:44,292
You don't exactly
treat us any differently.
1454
01:49:44,792 --> 01:49:49,001
What's that supposed to mean?
- You're either in the taxi or at the theatre.
1455
01:49:49,167 --> 01:49:53,957
When did you last spend time with Ezgi?
Study with her or do something together?
1456
01:49:54,126 --> 01:49:56,626
I make her sandwiches
every morning.
1457
01:49:56,792 --> 01:50:00,457
Which she gives to other kids.
Did you know that?
1458
01:50:00,626 --> 01:50:04,207
She's tired of eating the same thing every day
and asks me for money.
1459
01:50:05,626 --> 01:50:07,542
And you're only telling me this now?
1460
01:50:07,707 --> 01:50:12,792
I've been waiting. But if it were up to you,
we'd still be living with your mother in ten years.
1461
01:50:13,207 --> 01:50:16,707
What do you expect from me?
Nothing I do is ever good enough for you.
1462
01:50:16,876 --> 01:50:19,001
Take responsibility.
- Responsibility?
1463
01:50:19,167 --> 01:50:23,667
My greatest responsibility
is to set an example for my child,
1464
01:50:23,832 --> 01:50:27,292
without compromising my principles.
- Compromising your principles?
1465
01:50:27,457 --> 01:50:31,042
Do I need your permission to work?
What century are you living in?
1466
01:50:31,207 --> 01:50:33,876
Permission?
You're presenting me with a fait accompli.
1467
01:50:34,042 --> 01:50:36,542
Exactly,
and you have to accept it.
1468
01:50:36,707 --> 01:50:40,876
Writing pseudo-feminist plays isn't enough.
You have to live by those ideas.
1469
01:50:41,042 --> 01:50:45,542
Stop twisting things! We both know
what kind of shitty channel you'll be working for.
1470
01:50:45,707 --> 01:50:49,042
Of course I know.
Do you think you're the only clever one here?
1471
01:50:50,501 --> 01:50:51,957
You're ethically bankrupt.
1472
01:50:52,126 --> 01:50:56,917
Ethics? Now you're lecturing me about ethics?
At least I know why I'm doing it.
1473
01:50:57,082 --> 01:50:59,501
What am I supposed to do,
rot away in that tiny theatre?
1474
01:51:00,001 --> 01:51:05,332
So a few pseudo-intellectuals
can play at revolution?
1475
01:51:05,501 --> 01:51:08,667
In two sentences, you dismiss
everything we've worked on for years.
1476
01:51:08,832 --> 01:51:11,667
And you think you can save the world
with theatre.
1477
01:51:13,376 --> 01:51:16,876
You're chasing empty dreams.
- Then stop chasing them with me.
1478
01:51:17,042 --> 01:51:20,832
Ezgi is missing
because of those "friends" at that school.
1479
01:51:21,001 --> 01:51:26,167
Do whatever you want,
but don't lecture me about right and wrong.
1480
01:51:26,332 --> 01:51:30,542
You're the one who brought up ethics.
And you're the one who's always judging.
1481
01:51:30,707 --> 01:51:31,707
Understood?
1482
01:51:33,292 --> 01:51:35,501
Our entire life
revolves around you.
1483
01:51:36,082 --> 01:51:39,626
Aziz's mother bought meat,
so sit down and eat.
1484
01:51:40,626 --> 01:51:43,001
Defend Aziz's play
and lose your job.
1485
01:51:43,626 --> 01:51:45,792
Go to Aziz's hearing
and get nothing out of it.
1486
01:51:45,957 --> 01:51:48,042
Aziz writes something,
so stand ready.
1487
01:51:48,207 --> 01:51:52,251
Then don't. I should never have written
a single word for someone so ungrateful.
1488
01:51:52,792 --> 01:51:56,582
Exactly. I don't owe you anything.
Play the role yourself.
1489
01:51:56,751 --> 01:52:00,001
You're forgetting where you came from.
- Am I?
1490
01:52:00,167 --> 01:52:04,751
I created you!
Without me, you'd be nobody.
1491
01:52:04,917 --> 01:52:07,001
I made you
an actress!
1492
01:52:09,501 --> 01:52:10,501
Fine.
1493
01:52:11,707 --> 01:52:14,292
You created me.
I'm nobody.
1494
01:52:15,501 --> 01:52:17,001
Now go to the police.
1495
01:52:49,667 --> 01:52:50,667
Excuse me.
1496
01:52:51,501 --> 01:52:52,876
Excuse me.
- Yes?
1497
01:52:54,542 --> 01:52:55,707
Good evening.
- Good evening.
1498
01:52:55,876 --> 01:52:59,251
We're looking for our daughter.
She hasn't come home.
1499
01:52:59,417 --> 01:53:01,417
We can't reach her
and we're worried.
1500
01:53:01,582 --> 01:53:03,167
When did you
last see her?
1501
01:53:03,332 --> 01:53:05,667
Three hours ago.
- Okay, this way.
1502
01:53:11,292 --> 01:53:14,832
We do have
a missing-person procedure,
1503
01:53:15,207 --> 01:53:17,667
but it's only been
a few hours.
1504
01:53:18,001 --> 01:53:21,792
A search like that
doesn't begin until after 24 hours.
1505
01:53:21,957 --> 01:53:23,332
So what can we do now?
1506
01:53:23,501 --> 01:53:25,376
I'm afraid
you'll have to wait.
1507
01:53:25,832 --> 01:53:29,667
Wait? I don't understand.
Wait for what?
1508
01:53:29,917 --> 01:53:33,957
Our fourteen-year-old is out there alone.
What are we waiting for?
1509
01:53:34,126 --> 01:53:37,082
Our system is...
- What am I supposed to wait for?
1510
01:53:37,751 --> 01:53:40,626
For them to find her body?
- If you cause trouble...
1511
01:53:40,792 --> 01:53:44,792
I'm looking for my daughter.
- Calm down, let me speak.
1512
01:53:45,501 --> 01:53:47,501
Here, it's your mother.
Answer it.
1513
01:53:48,457 --> 01:53:50,667
Hello, Mum.
Is Ezgi back?
1514
01:53:51,332 --> 01:53:52,876
No.
We're at the police station.
1515
01:53:53,042 --> 01:53:56,332
Can we leave her name and a photo?
- If you like.
1516
01:53:57,707 --> 01:54:00,207
There's no need to get upset.
We're only doing our job.
1517
01:54:00,376 --> 01:54:01,292
Ezgi Firuze Tufan.
1518
01:54:03,707 --> 01:54:05,332
Could you do me a favour?
1519
01:54:06,501 --> 01:54:10,126
Could you give us the address
of İsmail Karacabaş?
1520
01:54:10,292 --> 01:54:11,582
İsmail Karacabaş?
1521
01:54:12,376 --> 01:54:17,126
Even if I had it, I wouldn't be allowed
to give it out. I'm sorry.
1522
01:54:19,126 --> 01:54:20,457
İsmail Karacabaş?
1523
01:54:21,626 --> 01:54:22,876
Let's go.
1524
01:54:27,707 --> 01:54:28,917
Call your brother.
1525
01:54:30,082 --> 01:54:31,542
Why should I?
1526
01:54:31,876 --> 01:54:33,292
Fine, I'll do it.
1527
01:54:34,876 --> 01:54:36,251
Hello, Salih.
1528
01:54:37,082 --> 01:54:39,917
We went to the police,
but there's still no news of Ezgi.
1529
01:54:40,082 --> 01:54:44,917
That police chief you know,
could he possibly get us an address?
1530
01:54:53,457 --> 01:54:55,126
Good evening.
- Good evening.
1531
01:54:56,626 --> 01:54:57,792
Were you able to ask him?
1532
01:54:57,957 --> 01:55:01,751
Yes. It's late,
but he made a few calls.
1533
01:55:02,751 --> 01:55:07,876
You're in luck. There are only
three İsmail Karacabaşes in all of Istanbul.
1534
01:55:08,417 --> 01:55:11,876
One is 55,
one is 34 and one is 23.
1535
01:55:12,042 --> 01:55:12,917
Twenty-three?
1536
01:55:13,457 --> 01:55:14,667
Would you prefer 55?
1537
01:55:16,292 --> 01:55:19,126
Ezgi said he was one year older.
- And you believed that?
1538
01:55:19,292 --> 01:55:21,751
What else was I supposed to do?
Assume she was lying?
1539
01:55:22,457 --> 01:55:27,832
Do we have the address of the 23-year-old?
- Twenty-three, 34 or 55. Take your pick.
1540
01:55:29,626 --> 01:55:30,626
Drive.
1541
01:55:53,501 --> 01:55:54,832
Turn right up ahead.
1542
01:55:56,207 --> 01:55:57,292
Right, right.
1543
01:56:07,707 --> 01:56:08,751
This must be it.
1544
01:56:12,082 --> 01:56:13,626
You go.
I'll wait here.
1545
01:56:14,501 --> 01:56:16,667
Otherwise I can't be held
responsible for what I do.
1546
01:56:28,501 --> 01:56:29,501
This should be it.
1547
01:56:36,501 --> 01:56:37,876
Is İsmail Karacabaş here?
1548
01:56:40,251 --> 01:56:41,251
İso?
1549
01:56:46,876 --> 01:56:48,376
Yes?
- Are you İsmail?
1550
01:56:48,542 --> 01:56:49,582
Hey, what's this about?
1551
01:56:49,751 --> 01:56:50,751
Ezgi?
1552
01:56:55,501 --> 01:56:58,501
Well, are you all right?
1553
01:57:02,001 --> 01:57:03,001
Listen,
1554
01:57:04,292 --> 01:57:07,501
if you're hiding Ezgi from us,
you'll regret it.
1555
01:57:11,626 --> 01:57:13,457
Nothing.
She's not here.
1556
01:57:15,751 --> 01:57:17,542
We're just hanging out...
- Shut up.
1557
01:57:18,082 --> 01:57:19,207
Not another word.
1558
01:57:31,626 --> 01:57:34,126
Get up.
We're going home.
1559
01:57:41,542 --> 01:57:44,332
You're lucky I don't kill you.
- She just showed up...
1560
01:57:44,501 --> 01:57:46,001
Shut your mouth.
1561
01:57:46,751 --> 01:57:49,957
I'll kill you.
You should have called us.
1562
01:57:50,917 --> 01:57:52,167
You dishonourable dog.
1563
01:57:55,501 --> 01:57:56,626
Get out of here.
1564
01:57:57,251 --> 01:57:59,792
Stop crying.
- Aziz, that's enough.
1565
01:57:59,957 --> 01:58:02,082
How did it
come to this...
1566
01:58:03,417 --> 01:58:04,542
Get in.
1567
01:58:07,626 --> 01:58:09,707
You're already
just like my brother.
1568
01:58:42,626 --> 01:58:43,626
Underwear.
1569
01:59:37,626 --> 01:59:40,957
Listen, handsome,
if you talk to me like that, we'll have trouble.
1570
01:59:41,126 --> 01:59:46,582
What is this about?
Helping someone or playing power games?
1571
01:59:46,751 --> 01:59:48,832
So what?
What don't you like about it?
1572
01:59:49,001 --> 01:59:52,457
That I'm no longer part of it.
1573
01:59:52,626 --> 01:59:56,751
The part you played
is the easiest one to replace.
1574
01:59:57,376 --> 01:59:59,376
Wow.
- Exactly, wow.
1575
01:59:59,626 --> 02:00:01,457
Bingo. Cut.
1576
02:00:01,707 --> 02:00:05,792
Lunch break, everyone.
Enjoy your meal.
1577
02:00:06,207 --> 02:00:09,751
Ms Derya, your lunch is in the trailer.
- Thank you, Şafak.
1578
02:00:12,042 --> 02:00:13,042
Thank you.
1579
02:00:13,832 --> 02:00:15,082
Welcome.
1580
02:00:16,417 --> 02:00:17,917
How are you?
- Good, and you?
1581
02:00:18,082 --> 02:00:19,751
Great, thanks.
And you?
1582
02:00:19,917 --> 02:00:22,167
We're getting by, Mum.
1583
02:00:23,082 --> 02:00:27,001
Are you hungry? Let's eat something.
- No, I still have to return the taxi.
1584
02:00:27,167 --> 02:00:29,001
Here.
See you next week then.
1585
02:00:29,167 --> 02:00:31,251
Stay a little longer
and eat with us.
1586
02:00:34,292 --> 02:00:35,376
Come on.
1587
02:00:50,626 --> 02:00:52,082
This is really good.
1588
02:00:53,082 --> 02:00:55,082
They really make an effort.
1589
02:00:55,792 --> 02:00:59,332
You're not eating, Aziz.
- I'm not hungry, thanks.
1590
02:01:00,957 --> 02:01:03,292
What time do you finish today?
- In about two hours.
1591
02:01:03,626 --> 02:01:07,001
Cemre moved me up
so I wouldn't have to wait.
1592
02:01:07,501 --> 02:01:08,501
And you?
1593
02:01:09,626 --> 02:01:12,667
I'll return the car
and then go back to saving the world.
1594
02:01:15,417 --> 02:01:16,957
You can do it.
1595
02:01:20,082 --> 02:01:21,707
The reviews are good, aren't they?
1596
02:01:22,292 --> 02:01:23,207
Reviews?
1597
02:01:23,792 --> 02:01:25,042
For "Yellow Letters."
1598
02:01:27,126 --> 02:01:29,626
They especially like
the metal detector scene, right?
1599
02:01:31,417 --> 02:01:34,917
And your ratings?
- Good. It's doing well.
1600
02:01:35,626 --> 02:01:38,001
But the competition
isn't standing still either.
1601
02:01:46,001 --> 02:01:48,876
Mum, what is the director
holding up to her eye?
1602
02:01:49,667 --> 02:01:50,957
What do you mean?
1603
02:01:51,292 --> 02:01:55,042
That thing. She looks through it
and then talks to the camera operator.
1604
02:01:56,917 --> 02:01:58,417
Come on,
I'll introduce you.
1605
02:01:59,251 --> 02:02:01,792
I need to get my wig fixed.
It's not sitting quite right.
1606
02:02:11,626 --> 02:02:12,667
And you?
1607
02:02:13,457 --> 02:02:16,707
Can I stay here a bit longer?
- Of course.
1608
02:02:16,876 --> 02:02:18,126
Make yourself comfortable.
