Original subtitles

We're at the end, Cem.

We just had one day, Cem.

It could have been a lifetime.

If you didn't send me away.

Why? Why, Cem?

Why did you lie to me?

Leyla, I didn't lie.

If you listened...

I didn't actually...

Leyla?

Leyla? Leyla?

Leyla! Leyla!

Leyla? Leyla, get up.

Get up. Open your eyes. Look at me.

Leyla, don't sleep. Open your eyes please, Leyla.

Leyla, please don't sleep. Şinasi!

Leyla, open your eyes, Leyla. Şinasi!

Open your eyes please, look at me.

Shout, swear, be mad, but look at me, please!

Leyla!

Leyla!

Leyla!

Şinasi!

Leyla! Leyla!

Leyla! Leyla! Leyla!

Come on! Open your eyes, Leyla!

Open your eyes, Leyla!

Leyla! Leyla! Open your eyes, come on.

Cem?

Get well soon.

As your doctor said, you need to rest.

Okay, thank you.

A Native American proverb says...

..."If you save someone's life, that life is yours."

So, you're mine now.

I thought you'd be mad at me for saying that...

...but I guess you won't say anything.

You're amazing.

What?

What?

Nothing.

I have to be at Lujuria.

You know, we have a gala to get through.

Leyla, are you still thinking about the event?

You heard the doctor. I'm fine.

He also said you need to rest.

Okay, I will.

After the gala.

Leyla, you've been through a lot. Take a little time out.

Well, we have hours till tonight.

I'll handle it, don't worry.

I have to make it work.

Leyla, sit. Come on.

Are you okay?

Okay.

Now, I'm okay.

Leyla, you don't have to be there. I'll organize everything.

And we can keep in touch.

Don't worry about Lujuria.

You will work?

Why wouldn't I?

You keep holding your shoulder.

What did the doctor say?

Nothing. I'll show it to him later.

Does it hurt?

No. I don't feel it now.

By the way, how did that happen?

Never mind. I just did.

Nobody saw us, right?

No, we went out the back door. Are you getting dressed?

Yes.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

I don't want them to panic for no reason.

I don't want them to lose morale before the gala.

Okay, I won't.

I don't remember much.

What happened? How?

It's very blurry.

You don't remember what we talked about?

What you told me?

We're at the end, Cem. We just had one day, Cem.

Look, you know what?

Let's act like nothing happened.

I'd be very happy if you could help me out about that.

Sure.

All right, then.

Come on, we have a gala to make.

We can't let you in without Chef Aylin.

I'm fine, dear. I'm cool as a cucumber.

-Fine, I'll deal with it. -You will.

Guys...

What happened with Aylin and İskender?

Şinasi? What's going on?

-İskender! Guys! Guys, calm down! -Guys!

Be quiet. What's going on, İskender?

Your very consistent Chef Aylin walked out.

At a time like this?

She went mad with İskender and left.

Let her go, Leyla.

It's that bad?

Bad is an understatement. She almost poked my eye out.

At least I am safe now. I can take care of it.

You didn't try to calm her down, either!

You drove her crazy.

Oh? It's my fault now?

Not because your chef is a psycho.

You're not that cool yourself, Chef İskender.

Şükrü!

-He's right! -Come on, we all saw the crazy one.

This wouldn't happen if we didn't listen to your chef.

-Not cool! -So what?!

Ladies! Gentlemen!

Are you starting a fight?

Do it! Let's see what it's good for.

Calm down and let us decide something.

İskender, get your team together. Let's talk.

I want the Lujuria team, too. We'll talk.

Team, on me.

Let's talk.

Come here.

All right, everybody calm down.

Yes?

-Yes what? -Will you tell me what happened?

You disappeared, then came back with Cem.

Something urgent came up.

Look at me.

You see?

Do I look like I'm buying it?

Sure you don't, Şinasi. But we can't afford to talk about it.

Look what's going on here.

Call the maintenance, get the cold room fixed.

-It's on you, okay? -What cold room?

İskender, Cem, can you come to the alley?

Şükrü, Çağrı, get everyone tea.

We'll talk later.

Yes, we have a gala an no Aylin.

If Aylin won't be here, we need to find a strategy.

The evening is almost here. We're done! Our goose is cooked!

Don't panic.

-I can do it alone. -Panic?

No worries. Guys, I'm saying quite calmly...

...that this event, this gala cannot take place under these circumstances.

It can. I can do the menu alone. I said it before. I don't need Aylin.

Come on, İskender.

You can't manage alone.

-Do we have another option? -Yes we do.

-I'll call Aylin back. -Come here, girl!

You can't convince that stubborn goat. Don't waste your time at all.

Şinasi, I can do it. Don't waste my time.

Leyla, please.

Mr. Cem, a moment please.

I'm coming.

We're done! We're done!

Really done! Oh, Aylin! Oh!

Şinasi, calm down. It's fine.

-I'm calm, dear. -Don't panic.

We can do it.

How will she convince Aylin?

It's Leyla.

She can do anything.

Or tries her best.

She stands tall and strong...

...but she's soft inside.

Sweet and sour.

Stunning.

But also calming.

Oh! Poetic.

-You're in love, I see. -I'm flying.

I'm not scared of anything.

You're making your move? So exciting!

Yes, I'll finish this.

And you will help me.

Me? No, I can't. Don't tell me anything. I get too stressed.

Calm down. I'm not asking much.

I'll dance with Leyla tonight.

And you'll organize it.

Dance of love. Very romantic.

I love it. I want what's best for Leyla, İso.

So, I have to decide who to support first.

I cannot favour you cause I we have history.

-No way. -What?

Do I have an opponent?

-Şinasi? -İso?

Who are you talking about?

Şinasi? Şinasi?

-Şinasi, don't run! -I did!

Come back here!

Don't waste your breath, Leyla.

I told you I can't work with İskender.

You said we had to work together.

You see what happened?

Aylin.

I didn't want that just for fun.

We tried, we saw that it doesn't work out.

That's all from me, Leyla.

Fine.

We can cancel the gala, too.

Go bankrupt. Is that what you want?

I didn't say that.

I said I'm out.

You can find another way.

I cannot drag you in by the arm.

You're free to do what you want.

Suit yourself.

But remember...

...you should keep your promises.

Not letting down the people that trust you must mean something.

They look weird side by side.

Two different men.

Both in love with Leyla.

She has her work cut out.

He's hot.

He's burning up inside.

He's throwing water on it.

The other one is cold as ice.

He's having tea.

He's warming himself up inside.

Oh, what are you doing here?

You heard what I said?

You didn't. How long have you been there?

Delete. You didn't hear a thing.

What are you doing here? Go!

Go back to work.

Come on! You're weird!

Go back to work.

Really! What the hell?

Come on!

Leyla, how did it go?

Did you get Aylin here? She won't come.

I'm here, Şişo.

Can we go in the kitchen if you're done with your tea?

We're late as it is.

I'll be in the kitchen.

Şinasi, try to stop them from killing each other.

All I needed was sitting duty! Fine, I'll do it.

Are you okay?

Will we keep asking each other that?

We talked in the morning.

Let's move on.

Sorry, Leyla. I forgot kindness does not exist in your life.

So, you were just being polite?

Not that you care.

What should I feel, Leyla? You decide for me.

I don't want anything.

I can see that.

And I won't ask again.

Like you always say, "We're only doing business together."

Damn right, Leyla.

We're only doing business together.

I know what I want, but...

...I have to be sure about you.

That you love me.

You never loved me.

Chech those before serving.

We start with the cold.

You have the recipes.

You'll follow them.

Why did you come back if you'll act like this?

First of all let's keep things professional.

Fire! Fire! Leyla, call the fire department!

-What? -Call the fire department!

I can't handle them, it's getting out of hand.

Really, call the thing off. At least we'll have our dignity.

Şinasi, what the hell? No, we can't.

I just can't!

What's going on?

I can't do it. Go talk to them.

Cem, let's do this.

I'll stay here!

-Be careful, okay? -Okay.

Oh, sorry.

Can you watch it?

Oh, so sorry. My hand slipped.

Come on!

You're doing sabotage now?

What? Sabotage?

You know me, I'm a little grumpy, difficult...

...and I'm a little clumsy, too. But it depends on the person.

But, it's good. You're getting to know me, Chef İskender.

You're a test for patience.

Everybody, listen up.

Stop what you're doing.

We're all out of our work environment.

I know. We are all out of our comfort zones, too.

But we all have to adapt now.

Especially now.

Turn this adaptation into harmony.

Let it be the taste in our food.

It will first reflect in our taste then, our service.

If we can pull this off, we will put a smile our guest's faces tonight.

Like we always want to.

I'll be over here, girls.

-Aylin? -Yes?

Sit together.

Guys, have a seat.

Bon appetite, guys.

-You can take this, too. -Okay.

-Thanks. -Bon appetite.

It's actually quite good.

Mmm.

It's really good.

How is your shoulder?

It hurt while you cooked.

You told me to move on. I think you don't need to ask.

I asked in your style.

To be polite.

Leyla, can we get back to work?

The organizers are here. Come on!

Okay, coming.

-Take it easy, Leyla. -Thanks.

-Leyla, was the lunch good? -Why didn't you eat?

Yeah... Let's eat, chat, have fun.

-Welcome. -As if no one is coming tonight.

We can give the leftovers to them.

Şinasi, how were you planning on making the menu...

...while Aylin and İskender were at each other's throats?

They calmed down. Isn't that good?

But Leyla, we're a few hours away. We won't make it!

It's really getting late.

You lose track of time cause you live in fairy land.

Not even close, Şinasi.

It was hell for me.

When it rains it pours.

What happened in the morning...

I mean, all that stress...

...and Cem being here.

Oh!

I can't breathe, Şinasi.

Oh no! Anxiety!

It's not good for you. I know from a friend.

He panics too much. Not me, I never do.

You know, take deep breaths. Count to 10.

Şinasi, get the team together.

We have to make up for lost time.

Okay, don't worry about that now.

Calm down. Hey! Be proper!

Be calm. I'll do it, okay?

Proper!

I'll be fine.

Check the sauces, all right? Come on!

-Marinating ready? -Five minutes, chef.

Come on! Vamos! Vamos! Vamos!

-Buse, check the oven! -Yes, chef!

-Çağrı, did you salt the meat? -Yes, chef!

-Get the baby carrots! -Yes, chef!

-Murat, reduce the sauce. -Yes, chef!

What? Something wrong?

No.

Sevil.

Hello, guys.

Thanks.

You left the office early?

I wanted to see if everything was all right.

Cem, this cooperation with Leyla is bugging me.

You know, she's nuts.

I want to make sure she won't cause any problems.

No problems. We're quite coordinated.

I don't doubt you.

But Leyla...

She can make a surprise anytime.

Hold her strings tight.

Maybe she can run into a surprise.

What do you mean?

Nothing. Just saying.

Anyway. Have a nice day.

Hakan, place one on each table. Not in the middle, a little outside.

-Right away, Mr. Cem. -Colour is nice.

Thank you so much.

-Good bye. -Thank you for your efforts.

Have a nice day.

No vision at all, and they call themselves organizers.

Anyway, I'll polish it up in there.

I have to do that, too!

Last hour.

Yes, go get ready.

I'll call you a cab.

Wait, Şinasi!

-I can't do it in an hour. -What?

I'll lay low.

What? Will you hide in the kitchen like Cinderella?

Don't be ridiculous!

I'll hide, Şinasi. So what?

The event is not Lujuria's.

I won't be able to proudly call this place mine anyway.

No way! They can cover our sign all they want...

...everybody knows this is Lujuria!

We know. Okay?

Now you'll go get ready and greet our guests all prettied up. Okay?

I need a magic wand now. How will I make it?

I know who has that wand.

You look amazing. Really.

It's a perfect fit.

What? You don't like it? Off you go.

What do you think?

Nice.

If only you could lie.

Mrs. Süreyya, please don't get me wrong, you did all this for me.

-I don't want to be like a spoiled brat. -Not at all.

I'm not doing anything. Thanks to Gamze, she came all the way here.

No problem, Mrs. Süreyya.

-Oh! Come on! Bring it. -It will look good on you.

This is amazing.

This is great, too.

But, um... Maybe we could...

I'll pick the simplest one.

And I'll be out of your hair soon.

Simplest one you say?

No, don't get me wrong.

All the dresses are amazing.

-But, how do I put this? -How do you?

My style is a little different.

I prefer tuxedos usually.

Hmm, why do you prefer that? Did you ever consider?

I don't feel like myself in these dresses.

Who are you, Leyla?

You're a woman, right?

Being a woman is not something to hide.

Au contraire, something amazing to be proud of.

No, I didn't consider that hiding it. But...

What?

You don't need to be masculine to be taken seriously by men.

Being taken seriously has nothing to do with the dress, trust me.

It's their problem.

Look at this beauty.

Who can wear this?

Hmm? Only someone who feels like a woman.

Right? No one else can wear such a beautiful thing.

So, don't even pay attention to people with those issues.

Be a woman's woman. Celebrate it. Bless it.

Move over.

Look. You'll be the most coquette girl of the night.

Try this one.

Take it off, sweetie. Burcu, do the lips.

After hair is done.

Yes, yes. Beautiful.

Okay.

Great.

-Great. -Mrs. Süreyya, this lipstick is not me.

Mmm, she's right.

Wait, move!

Here. I had a lipstick here, girls.

Yes!

Yes! Yes! You're right. This one.

-Isn't this more splashy? -Yes, and more bright and red.

Put it on.

Okay.

Great! You're amazing. Burcu, hurry up.

Yes, girls, be faster. And let Leyla go. She needs to come here.

Come on, girls!

Let her go, she'll be late.

Come on, Leyla.

Take the robe off, I want to see you as a whole.

Thank you, girls.

Ah, you're so pretty.

-You're amazing. -Mrs. Süreyya, thank you so much.

And in such a short time. That was magic.

I didn't do anything, sweetie. The model is great. Anyway.

How do you feel?

I'll be frank, I don't feel bad.

What did I tell you?

It feels a little different but I like it.

Come, take a look at yourself.

Come, dear.

The woman in the mirror is you, as well as the woman in the tux.

Do whatever you want.

Don't worry about what others might say.

You do whatever you want, honey.

Do it cause you want to.

Come on, don't be late.

-I'm really running late. -Yes.

Aren't you coming?

-Don't worry about me. Go. -Okay.

Thank you. Hello. Welcome.

Have a good night.

-Welcome. Have a good night. -Welcome.

-You look beautiful. -Thank you.

Is everything okay? Anything you need?

-Thank you. -You're welcome. Good night.

-Good night. -Cem, come here.

Join us.

Thanks, I'm a little busy.

You're right.

It's hard dealing with the obsessive witch.

I don't have any complaints.

Bon appetite.

Good, you didn't go to Leyla for your stupid woman's solidarity.

You finally know what's good for you.

You won't act on your own anymore.

You don't like the food?

Bon appetite.

Good night. Bon appetite.

Is everything all right?

Look, everybody's happy.

Thank God, we got through today.

I guess we did.

Yes, we did. By the way, Leyla, Suri did wonders with you.

Is it too much?

No way! You look gorgeous. I can't take my eyes off you.

Oh, Şinasi...

I know two people who won't be able to take their eyes off you.

-Two people? -Oh? I said "two"?

I didn't say two. Be careful. Evil eyes, you know?

God bless you, keep you from evil eyes.

I would never give you the evil eye anyway.

Leyla? Le...Le...

Leyla?

Are you okay?

You couldn't handle that much adrenaline in one day!

Give me some water, hey!

No.

I'm fine.

I'm fine, Şinasi.

I'll be fine after some fresh air.

-You okay? -Yes, don't worry.

I'll be right back.

Give me! I'm stressed out here.

-You put sumac in this? -Yes, chef!

What?

You decided to take a break?

-Short break. -You can't leave.

We have so much to do.

You can't leave the kitchen as you please if we're working together.

I'll be right back.

-I'm busy. -Let's cut to the chase.

I'm asking you nicely not to push me.

Let's not relapse.

I'll be right back.

I'm on a break.

You're lucky Leyla's here.

Welcome. Name please?

Suna. But I don't have a reservation.

We have a special event tonight. I can't let you in without an invitation.

Sorry.

I came to see you.

I mean, is everything okay?

People are smiling.

We have the smiles.

I want to say you look amazing, but...

...I'm scared for my life.

You wish.

Apple?

So? Any facts?

To go with the apple.

Yes.

You look great in red.

I realized I don't know you.

Actually, we are very much alike, Leyla.

-You and I... -You're very warm.

You're scared it will burn?

Still?

I don't think you will say no.

To be polite.

-Your shoulder? -It's fine.

I should go.

What did you do? You danced?

Did I miss it?

No dance!

But I won't give up.

I won't let go.

I believe in myself.

Great. Don't give up.

Keep it up. Great. I like chaos. Let there be a mess!

One woman, two men. It will be fun to watch.

I should go.

Move it!

Come on!

I want to thank each of you.

It was a hard day, but we got through.

First of all, thank you, Miss Leyla.

This hard day wouldn't be possible to tackle...

...without her dedication and hard work.

I won't lie, for a while I was scared this would turn into murder scene...

...but we got through it without a hitch.

The rest is not important. Thank you, guys.

Miss Leyla?

Girls...

It was nice working with you, Mr. Cem.

I would like to say so, but it was very hard.

I hope it doesn't happen again.

Me, too. I hope the universe doesn't drag us in another chaos like this.

No, I will break this game of the universe.

-I won't let it. -Don't worry.

I don't think I will come to you with an offer like that again.

I hope so.

Good evening.

We wanted to congratulate our Leyla.

Leyla, thank you.

You're welcome.

We couldn't congratulate you properly. But this event gave us the excuse.

I don't get a vibe from this place. Looks like it won't last long.

Leyla, tell you what.

Why don't you give up your career obsession?

You're not getting any younger.

It's time you started a family, huh?

Why don't you start managing your own family?

Like the bird making the nest.

Leyla, don't frown.

I'm just looking out for you.

You will regret this later.

You will be sorry your blind ambition took over you.

You'll be sorry you don't have a family.

I can do both, if I want to.

But I will...

Sure, to romantics it looks like you can do anything you want just like that.

But everyone has a role in life, Leyla.

I think we can finish up our lovely chat.

Leyla is tired.

Oh, it's been so long. Let's catch up, right Leyla?

Let this be an advice for you.

You know what it says on the sign of you restaurant...

...which you've tried so hard to open?

Asude!

You can't exist without your sign saying Asude, Leyla.

I guess you've seen who's the strong one.

Come on, Leyla. You're making us sad, too.

Was it too harsh?

But truth hurts. Sorry.

What do I always say?

This sentimental side of women will be the end of us.

We...

...took an offer to Leyla.

And she generously accepted.

Don't make into something it's not, Haldun.

You're surprising me, too, Cem.

After of working with many businessmen in your own league...

...you must know that this kind of mercy has no place in our business.

Sorry.

What do you mean?

You didn't understand I guess, Leyla.

Cem heard you were in a tight spot.

And gave you this job to give you financial support.

He showed you mercy.

What didn't you get?

Leyla.

Haldun, let's get a drink. Excuse me!

Hey!

I'm excusing you.

Geez!

-Go away, Cem! -I won't.

I said, go! Why don't you get it?

I won't. We'll talk.

Just leave!

How dare you meddle in my business?

-Leyla, listen I... -Save it, Cem.

Leyla, you're doing it again. We can't talk like this.

What did you think?

You saved my life. Thank you.

But I won't give you any more power.

Leyla, what? You think I perceive this as power?

What is it?

Is this your mission in life?

I'll keep saving Leyla and she'll be grateful.

-Leyla... -Or I don't know.

You want the world to know what a great man you are?

I didn't mean that, Leyla.

Why did you do it, then?

You didn't play by the rules, you see?

We said no mercy.

What do you mean? I had no idea about you financial trouble.

I just wanted to have a gala and your place was most convenient, period!

No, you're not telling the truth.

I don't know about that.

This was below the belt, Cem.

You went too far this time.

Go away.

Fine.

Leyla?

Are you okay?

It's okay.

So, you didn't know about her financial situation?

Not exactly.

We're in the same business.

People talk.

Hmm. I see.

You knew, but acted like you didn't.

So...

...you genuinely wanted to help her, right?

I don't want to answer that.

You don't cause your heart and you mind are at war.

They must not. I must abide my mind.

Cause she doesn't see me the way I see her.

It doesn't matter how she sees you.

What matters is how you see her.

Hmm?

I'm afraid to see, grandpa.

What a night.

Events are so tiresome.

I'll go straight to bed.

You're a little too silent lately.

I'm not used to it.

If you keep this up, I'll get used to it.

A wife that doesn't nag.

You're making my dreams come true.

I want a divorce.

You want a divorce?

-You? -Yes.

I wish we could do whatever we wanted.

-I'm serious, Haldun. -İnci, don't give me a headache.

You'll get so many headaches, Haldun.

Look, I don't know who's giving you advice but don't say things you'll regret later.

I don't need anybody's advice.

I can make my own decisions.

Since when?

I saw things but you started to go over the line cause I didn't say anything.

Listen, Haldun.

I won't tolerate you any further.

I call your bluff, İnci.

You didn't get what you wanted, so you're acting like a child.

You're a grown woman.

You're old.

But you never matured.

Isn't there a Botox for the brain?

I'm not bluffing, Haldun.

You ran over my dignity.

I'm telling you...

...I don't want to live with a man like you anymore.

İnci, don't play the crying card.

Don't.

You know I hate it.

Sure, you had your feelings removed.

Anyway.

You drank too much tonight so, I'm letting this go.

Case closed.

Period.

You know what it says on the sign of you restaurant...

...which you've tried so hard to open?

Asude!

You can't exist without your sign saying Asude, Leyla.

I guess you've seen who's the strong one.

Cem heard you were in a tight spot.

And gave you this job to give you financial support.

He showed mercy.

What did you think? You saved my life. Thank you.

You want the world to know what a great man you are?

Is this your mission in life?

I'll keep saving Leyla and she'll be grateful.

But I won't give you any more power.

You went too far this time.

Süri, why didn't you wait? We could give you a Lujuria breakfast.

I can't say no to street bagel, Şinasi.

There's so much gossip from last night. I want to dish it out!

Send it my way.

Everything got so messed up. You know Cem. His existence is drama.

Cem Kumcu charm is definitely a thing.

And İskender is on a counter attack from the left.

Wait, is İskender the hot chef?

Hot and ice queen.

Cem is like fire! Burning hot.

Let's see what happens. Will we burn or freeze?

I'm so excited about Leyla's decision.

We'll wait and see.

-I'm not done! What a night! -What?

Haldun Taromar did it again.

-What? -Leyla must be so upset now.

-Oh... -I have an idea.

Let's cheer Leyla up.

Surprise!

Oh, you guys!

Heart-to-heart service at your door.

We picked it for you.

Thank you.

I got everyone here. Let us in.

-Sure, come on in. -You have to invite us in.

-Sorry. -Finally.

Oh! What a cozy place.

You guys, you didn't have to.

Here, leave it. Give it.

-We'll do in. -No way.

Please.

The night is dead, a new day starts.

Don't worry about me.

-I don't want to talk about it. -Oh?

Why, dear? Come on. You weren't the rude one.

Of course not.

I was embarrassed last night.

They tore me to shreds before my crew.

I still get mad when I think about it.

Why do you care cause they said something stupid?

Right?

These guys are medium format, dear.

You can't tell if he's human or not.

Don't worry about it.

What was that? I loved it.

-Medium format. -Medium format!

They really are.

The others? My crew?

I hope they think so, too.

Don't worry about what people think.

But I do.

What do you mean? You're just doing what Haldun Toroman wants.

-How? -How?

As you can see. He managed to mess with your mind.

And he ruined your day. What else?

And you keep at it. Come on.

But she's right.

I would jump at him, and I almost did. You were very cool about it.

Honey, it's fine. Rage is a feeling, too.

But let's make it useful.

Oh! Revenge? Big drama.

Not at all, Şinasi.

No, you won't let rage get the better of you.

Make it fuel your ambition and talent.

Oh! Eggs.

But it's not that easy.

You need nerves like steel for that.

Yes, honey, we get it. But find a way to cool down.

How can I?

People never stop getting on my nerves.

I'm actually mad at Cem.

I go crazy when I think about it.

Our lord has shown us mercy and lent us a hand.

You're fuming again.

She gets weird when it's about Cem.

Look, there are flames in her eyes.

-I wonder why. -Şinasi.

The flames are for you.

-Şinasi, tea for me. -Right away.

Tea, please.

Will we sit here?

Let's sit at the back. It's cozier.

Sure.

-Come on. -You go ahead. I'll check the kitchen.

Okay, dear.

Oh?

Gülten?

Welcome!

It was my day off. I thought we could have coffee before the night starts.

You did great! Come, have a seat.

-Were you busy? I didn't phone it in. -Come on! Please.

Gökhan, two cups of coffee for us.

Sure.

How are you?

Fine.

I love your tea.

I can't find this taste anywhere else.

And I can't find your sweet conversation anywhere else.

That's my love.

Hello, babe?

What will we do about her?

Huh?

The gala is over, it's too quiet.

Let's tell her.

Really, after she's off the phone, I'll talk to her.

I'll tell her what her gorilla boyfriend was up to.

I can't hold it in. I told you. I told Leyla.

I'll her, too. I'm about to explode.

Please.

I'll tell her when she's back.

I'll tell her. Look, I'm losing my hair here.

Şinasi!

Don't tell her anything.

Huh?

Aylin already knows.

Şinasi!

-But how? -She knows but ignores it.

-How do you... -I know.

You're not the only one fluent in details.

Anyway, don't tell her. Let her make her own way.

It might be worse if we intervene.

Let her realize it herself.

Oh Suri...

Hard thing.

Leyla, come.

Leyla, this place is awesome!

You can see the Leyla touch everywhere.

I wouldn't expect less.

-Thank you, Gülten. -Indeed.

I heard you did wonders last night with Mr. Cem.

-I heard about it. -Don't say Cem to me.

What's wrong?

Nothing. The usual.

Classic Cem Kumcu shock.

Leyla, I know you've been through a lot...

...don't get me wrong but...

Tell me, Gülten.

We say "Cem Kumcu" as if it's a brand name.

Actually, it's deeper than that, you know?

He stands up straight, doesn't bend to people's will.

Leyla, you and him are very much alike.

Come on, Gülten.

I don't want to be like someone to mess with a supplier just to stress me.

Wait a minute.

You mean Mr. İhsan?

Exactly.

I should've seen this coming!

What do you mean?

I don't know if it's right to tell you this, Leyla.

Anyway, I'll tell you. You should know.

Cem Kumcu doesn't even know what happened to Mr. İhsan.

Mr. Haldun did everything.

What do you mean?

Cem didn't do it?

Hello, guys.

Cem, we haven't talked since last night.

I have to go, if it's not urgent.

I wanted to thank you properly for the gala.

You did a perfect job.

I wasn't alone. We worked together with Leyla.

With Leyla?

Look, I was mad at you at first.

Cause you gave her a job instead of finishing her.

Just leave her, so we can be rid of her.

But later I thought...

...you did a great job.

It was genius employing her.

Bravo.

That was not my intention.

It doesn't matter. Did you see the look on her face?

Like a wet kitten under the rain.

It was a good lesson for her.

She understood she's nothing when she's alone.

Leyla founded Asude, grew it.

She's the last person to call nothing.

Why would you say that?

Without our investment, Leyla couldn't dream about Asude.

And we saw her place.

Cem, I'm telling you she can't do this.

She will surprise you all.

She will rise to where she deserves.

What's with your attitude?

You're about to applaud Leyla.

Cem, aren't we on the same side?

Yes, but only professionally.

Other than that, we're nothing alike.

Guys, coffee for me.

We're nothing alike...

I did a terrible thing.

I just woke up from it.

I did a terrible thing, Şinasi.

I knew she would be working for me when I offered her the job.

And I didn't make it easy for her.

But I helped Haldun to feed his ego.

I cannot forgive myself.

I cannot forgive myself.

I dissed his report for no reason.

I wanted to make him pay.

How could I?

How did I fail to see the big picture?

I should've known the board would surround her like sharks.

She was so embarrassed because of me.

He had to go and try to defend his report because of me.

I have to admit.

I was wrong.

I was wrong.

I dragged her into something she didn't deserve at all.

I was unfair to him, trying to balance the scales of justice.

Yes, not good.

But don't be so hard on yourself.

You can make up for everything. Either easy or hard.

You can make it up to her.

How will I, Şinasi?

I know it's hard but,...

...maybe you could apologize?

I wish an apology could solve everything.

Regret is useless.

Regret is useless indeed, it will eat you up.

But the real regret is not being able to show your remorse.

What will I say?

"Cem, sorry. There was a mix up.

I did you wrong by mistake."

That?

Whatever I say, I can't erase her moment.

I can't rewind her dignity being hurt in front of everyone with a button.

No.

I ruined everything, Şinasi.

I can't make it work anymore.

I am too late.

I can't do it now.

-Good evening, Miss Leyla. -Good evening, Cemal.

You have a package.

Thanks.

Um... Are you okay?

You look very pale.

You're not ill or anything?

No, I'm fine.

I'm not fine.

Maybe I'm worse than ill.

I can call the pharmacy and get you some vitamins.

No, no. Vitamins won't help. Thanks.

Miss Leyla, maybe you could go to a hospital?

No, Cemal. Nothing like that.

Don't worry. Thanks.

If you say so.

-Good evening, Cemal. -Mr. Cem.

Are you ill, too?

Something like that.

Geez, is there a flu going around?

Maybe we could call a doctor?

-Flu? -Everybody's sick lately.

No, nothing like that, Cemal.

If you need anything, so you know, sir.

Thanks, Cemal. Bon appetite. Good night.

Good night.

I sent you the smell of our home.

Oh, Mükü...

Who's that?

Is it Cem?

İskender?

You were expecting someone else?

No, I'm not expecting anyone.

I was just caught off-guard.

Come in.

-What's up? -Welcome. Fine, you?

Me, too.

-Was it a bad time? -No, it's not.

Have a seat.

Would you like a drink?

-Tea, if you have some? -Yes, freshly brewed.

Great.

-Who are these from? -Mükü sent them.

They smell great.

Leyla, I don't know what to say...

...what happened at the gala was very annoying.

Never mind, İskender. Don't want to talk about it.

I moved on already.

I wanted to check on you anyway.

As you see, still in one piece.

No problem.

I wanted to talk to you about something else.

Okay, let's talk.

Not now.

I want to take you somewhere special.

We'll talk there.

It's important.

Really?

Why are you being so mysterious?

If it's something stupid about work I really can't take it anymore, İskender.

We just got our heat out.

No, not about work.

It concerns the two of us.

Really?

Shall we say Monday?

Okay. Fine by me.

I'll pick you up at seven.

Deal.

Deal.

Cem?

You're just coming home?

No, I wanted to take a walk.

The walls closed in?

-Yes. -Shall I ask why?

Don't.

You?

Came to Leyla.

I was worried about her after last night.

I had to see her.

Came here after the night was over.

Is she okay?

Why don't you ask her yourself?

We don't talk much. I mean...

...we can't talk much.

Maybe this is for the best.

You're rivals.

And things keep getting tense between you two.

Anyway.

I won't keep you.

See you.

See you.

-Did you see him? -What?

Cem. Is he here?

Come on! I'm just looking out.

Yeah! I don't buy it, dear.

You just keep staring.

You ended up being a window sill flower.

I shouldn't be looking.

Dear, plates for us.

Come. Look at these beauties.

-No, I won't. -What?

Did you just say no to dessert?

I don't feel like it.

No way. Just a little. It's a serotonin boost. Please.

No, Şinasi. Thanks. I have to go anyway.

See you.

-Deep breath. -I bend down.

Slowly. Slowly.

What are you doing?

Move! Go!

I keep telling Coco not to put macarons around.

-Sorry. -It's okay.

Carry on. Bending.

Stand up slowly.

Very good. Slowly. Good job.

Breath in.

Super.

And our final pose.

Slowly.

Stretch slowly.

Breath in.

The other side.

Super. Yes, very good. Slowly.

Great.

You're doing great.

Great. That's all for today, Mrs. Süreyya.

Thank you.

Coco!

See you again next week.

-I'll be calling you. -I'll be waiting.

This way.

Yes?

How are you, Süreyya?

As always, very good, dear.

It was great seeing you the other day.

Hmm?

-I missed you. -You missed me?

Wow!

I've been thinking about you ever since.

Thank you, Coco.

Really?

Because you saw me? Or do you always think of me?

Hmm, don't know.

Do you always think of me?

You haven't changed a bit.

Always beating around the bush, right, Tevfik?

You're the one to say.

Years just passed you by.

Thank you, dear. I always look ahead that's why you can't keep up.

Yes, you're right about that.

I really missed you, you know?

-Hmm, so? -I'm at the ranch.

I know, dear.

I know where to find you if I want to see you.

And do you?

What do you think?

Um...

I think you missed me, too. Hmm?

-You think? -Are you coming over?

What do you say?

-Don't know, mmm... -Hmm?

You don't want to.

I do but I won't.

Hmm?

I don't think so.

I see you're very confident.

It's not confidence.

It's attraction.

I have to go, dear.

Maybe not today, but you will eventually be here.

You're early today.

Mmm, this time, yes.

I see you can't leave this place.

-I can go, grandpa. -No, have a seat.

The ranch is good for you, right?

I don't know what good for me anymore.

Hmm, I see.

All right, ask away.

Is there a way not to miss someone?

This is a hard one.

It is.

Very hard.

I feel like I don't have a solution...

...I feel like I'm in a well...

...it's all black...

...one moment...

...if I could see her one moment...

...there will be a bright light and I will be relieved.

Hmm.

Missing someone hits hard.

You can't tear it away.

But it's good to miss someone if you will be united at the end.

-Great, if you see it that way. -You can do it, too.

You just have to think missing someone and uniting with her is the same thing.

Imagine...

...like an exhausting preparation before a holiday.

I never got to the holiday part.

-And I never will. -You will. Don't worry.

Look.

Sometimes we think we miss out.

Actually we don't.

Even if years go by...

...you can always catch up to it.

Maybe a step away...

...maybe on the other end of the world.

I can't think about uniting, grandpa.

I just want a glimpse of her.

-Good evening, Cemal. -Good evening, Mr. Cem.

New book?

Miss Leyla left it for Melis.

Leyla was here?

Yes, sir. She was. You missed her by a minute.

Okay.

Okay.

I always keep missing that moment.

Sorry, Mr. Cem?

I was talking to myself, Cemal. It's not important.

I was saying she picked a nice book.

-Good night. -Good night, sir.

Thank you, Brother Özcan.

-I'll get fresh ones again next week. -I'll be here.

-Have a nice day. -Thanks.

-How much for the lemon? -12 liras.

12? So expensive.

But it's good. I'll get a kilo.

And two for me.

Oh? İskender? What are you doing here?

Shopping for home.

Aren't you working today?

I am but I took a few hours off.

Mmm. Good for you.

-You? -I had to blow off some steam.

And this one.

-So, I came here. -This place is good for you.

-Yeah. -Can we walk together?

-Okay. -Then, rice with chickpeas?

Fine by me. Great.

-How much? -20 liras.

What are you doing?

I wanted to show off. I used to do it with four, you know?

-Keep the change. -Thanks.

-Have a nice day. -Have a nice day.

Let's have a look there.

-Bon appetite. -Thank you.

-Thanks. -It's been too long.

I missed it.

Wasn't running into each other great?

-It was. -We're good for Monday, right?

Monday?

Come on?

Oh! Yes, we are.

-You're coming. -Sure I am.

Don't know, it didn't register last time.

Mm. Right?

But it wasn't your fault.

It was Cem's.

Leyla, are you okay?

I can see you're not.

Would you like to talk about it?

No. I'm fine.

Are you sure?

I am, İskender.

Okay. As you say.

-Thank you. -Thanks.

-It was a nice day. -It felt good.

-These must be yours? -Yes.

There you go.

Fine, talk to you.

Leyla, wait.

I have to tell you.

What?

This wasn't a coincidence...

...running into you.

Sorry?

I knew you would be at the market today.

I took a guess, and bulls eye.

Really?

I'm that obvious?

Come on, you're not obvious at all.

I tried so hard to decipher you.

I've spent so many years on it.

You see what I'm seeing?

Oh, I do!

Anyway, it wasn't the universe playing games.

I would feel bad if I didn't tell you.

But I would come with you if you asked me to the market.

Why did you do this?

I just hope you understand, Leyla.

Anyway.

Everything will fall into place on Monday.

See you.

Come on, get in!

İskender is gaining speed.

This boy is too full of himself.

Can't say anything to him, Süri.

I start to itch. Mmp!

You're doing the right thing, dear.

We should stay out of it. Leyla will find out eventually.

But what will we do?

Who are we rooting for?

So exciting.

Are we Team Cem? Or Team İskender?

Hot or cold? Shouldn't we pick a side?

Yes, we should! We will take responsibility.

-Yes, dear. -Then, we will say...

..."We were the architects of this love."

So?

-No, no! We'll stay out of it. -No way!

Everything will flow in its path, let's not intervene in that.

Leyla can make up her own mind.

I almost said it, Süri! Why do I care?

-Don't get carried away. Stay out of it. -Stay out of it.

-No intervention. -No intervention.

-Promise. -Promise.

You know me.

You bought everything in the market?

I didn't get too much.

We're having a feast tonight.

Let's make a nice meal, right? Let's have a feast.

We will if I can get my head together.

I thought you got better. You're all depressed again.

Life is so hard when you have a wish, Şinasi.

So easy when you don't.

Sometimes I feel like I should choose the easy path.

Get out of here.

Go somewhere cooler.

But I'm always thinking about the hot.

-Morning, Cemal. -Good morning, Mr. Cem.

-Morning, Cemal. -Good morning, Miss Leyla.

For Melis.

Thank you so much, she'll be very happy.

-You're welcome. See you. -Thank you.

Excuse me, Mr. Cem.

Where is he?

Good morning.

You, too, but...

...you have rings around your eyes.

Couldn't sleep.

Why?

Never mind.

Fine, I won't ask.

I don't want to focus on anything else but this.

What's that?

I'm making it for Leyla.

Green patty.

She loves it.

Are we doing delivery to Lujuria?

Yeah, kind of.

Anyway, I'll finish up and take it to her right away.

Never wanted to finish what I started so much.

Just to see her.

It's so weird.

Making excuses to see her.

Wanting to see her all the time.

You miss her like mad.

You hurt inside just to see her for a second.

What will you do?

I'm making my move.

I think it's the right time.

I see.

We have a date tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night?

I'll talk to her.

-Have a nice day. -Thanks.

I have green patty.

Made it with the stuff from the market.

We got them together, we can eat it together.

There's enough for everyone.

Have a seat.

Fine. Şino, let's serve these up.

Okay.

Let me see. What's in it?

Greenery and cheese.

Cem?

I had to drop something off to Leyla for the gala, finance department.

That's why I'm here.

-I could've taken it. -It's my job.

The patty is ready.

Let's eat.

Fine, I'll be there.

Okay.

Bon appetite.

Don't go.

I mean...

We'll have patty.

Join us if you have some time.

Okay, I will.

İskender...

...you're full of talent.

You're great at pastry, too.

-Bon appetite. -All is with cheese?

Anyway, I ate already.

I was just waiting for Şino to poke at me, great.

Come on! I favour open communication.

I'm just honest, dear.

Fine, so be it.

Leyla, you didn't like it?

No, I eat slowly.

Cem, won't you have some?

No, I'm not that hungry. You enjoy your patties.

Excuse me.

I'll walk you out.

No, enjoy your meal.

-I'll walk you out. -I can walk myself.

See you, bon appetite.

You eat like a turtle. You haven't touched your food.

Don't force yourself if you didn't like it I can make another one for you.

No way.

I'm not that hungry today.

You eat so little these days, I don't know why.

Have some.

-You like it? -Yes.

Stupid question.

Chef İskender only makes perfect. Thank you.

Bon appetite.

Thank you for the patty, İskender.

You're welcome.

Bon appetite.

I'll see you on Monday.

See you.

Guys, I told you so many times! Take those over there.

Please! You're weird!

Leyla!

-You ran into each other? -Yes.

And I couldn't say a word.

Why?

What are you waiting for? Act.

No.

I'll wait.

She will make her own choice.

Okay.

You have a date with İskender tomorrow?

Yes. He wants to talk about something.

Mmm, really? I wonder what?

I have an idea, but...

I know.

I mean, I don't.

I have a hunch!

What?

No, no. I can't say. You will find out anyway.

Please. No, I can't say.

I can't. Leyla, don't insist!

Don't insist, Leyla.

Şinasi, fine. I'm not.

Maybe I shouldn't go.

Everything will flow in its path, let's not intervene in that.

Leyla can make up her own mind.

Whatever! I will.

Leyla, I see your tail no matter how much you try to stand tall.

You've burnt to a crisp.

I feel sorry seeing you like that.

Please, get a hold of yourself!

Şinasi, I cannot control this.

There's nothing I can do.

You do! Maybe you need to look around and make the right call.

What?

Like, you need to be with someone who cools you down, not fires you up.

With someone who makes you smile.

Maybe you need to be with someone you can be happy with...

...instead of burning for love.

You say, follow happiness not love.

Is there such a path?

Of course there is.

Think, do you choose someone who gives you appetite or takes it away?

The person with whom you can share a meal with can arouse appetite.

He will change you view on life, you'll be an optimist.

-You think? -Damn right.

You can't see that cause you're focused on one thing.

But Leyla, life is too short for pain.

Live it away.

Live it away, dear.

When life gives you lemons, you know?

Easy for you to say.

You're used to being free after all these years.

It's not that hard to get used to it, don't worry.

We'll see. He doesn't even think I'm serious.

He just doesn't care.

He will know you mean it once you put the divorce papers before him.

What matters is if you really made up your mind.

I know it will be hard.

But, I made up my mind.

I don't know what I'll get, but...

Wasted years, you know.

Don't say that. Every experience adds meaning to our life.

We can have good or bad choices...

...but everything we experience make up the person we are today.

But I just wish I acted sooner.

Let go off sentences with "I wish", people will know how old we are!

Suri, what's wrong with our age?

My thoughts exactly.

I wish I didn't have these hot flashes. I'll open the window.

Just focus on the now.

We don't know when we'll die.

People make plans as if they will live up to 80.

How do you know you will last that long?

We only live in the moment.

That's right.

-Cheers to what? -To the moment.

To now.

Bravo!

-Good evening, Miss Leyla. -Good evening, Cemal.

Miss Leyla, the workers were here.

You were picking colours for your living room, you narrowed it down to two.

They left these.

Do I have to choose now?

I don't know, Miss Leyla. They are expecting an answer.

Warm tones or cold tones?

Which one do I choose, Cemal?

Miss Leyla, I don't know.

You know best.

I don't, Cemal.

How do I choose?

One is warm, dangerous, untrustworthy.

The other, trustworthy, safe, cold.

I'll be comfortable if I choose cold.

But my hearts wants hot.

I'll burn if I choose hot.

I know that, too.

Oh...

I'm so confused.

What do I do?

Miss Leyla?

Are you okay?

What do I do?

How do I choose?

Just be calm, Miss Leyla. You'll make a decision.

-Sorry, Cemal. -No problem. Just be all right.

I'll go home.

-Thank you, see you. -See you, madam.

It's going great between you two.

I never believed there's bliss in marriage.

But there is. We cooled off after he proposed.

That doesn't apply to everyone, dear.

Like how?

I mean, generally.

You're eating like a pig these days!

I'm happy, so what?

Don't put all the happy in your thighs.

Do I look fat?

I can't do diets. Look. How are my thighs?

Huh?

Şişo, answer me! How are my thighs?

Why? Your love won't accept you no matter how you look?

What the hell?

Actually, you will love him no matter what, right?

Even if he's a spineless coward, Aylin will love him anyway.

What the hell are you talking about?

Yeah, he can do whatever he wants, no problem.

Aylin will just ignore the mistakes, right?

Şinasi, enough. Just tell me what's bugging you.

You know damn well what it is.

Why Aylin? Why do you do this to yourself?

Why do you ignore the fact that he cheated?

Şinasi, that's my call.

Stay out of it.

But I don't want you to be sorry.

What makes you think I am?

Don't be! But don't settle for less.

People give you credit as much as credit you give yourself, Aylin.

Fine, Şinasi but look at me. Who would deal with me?

What are you talking about? Sure they will.

You're so beautiful.

Whatever you say, I know myself.

I know I can be impossible to put up with sometimes, Şinasi.

If you consider a relationship, putting up with, just don't do it.

There won't be no love there.

Let it go. You'll grow old with your cats.

It doesn't work like that!

I don't want to be a cat lady!

I don't want to end up alone, Şinasi, got it?

You need a man not to be alone?

Look, it works out if you love and be loved in return.

But you can never be happy if you're doing this not to end up alone.

That's your idea. I beg to differ.

What do we do with her?

"I don't want to be a cat lady."

Whereas we have a great example of it.

Perfect!

Isn't it great?

Who made this?

Coco, does. She's amazing.

Delicious.

You still resist?

Who is it?

It's not important. Let's stick to our agenda.

Oh!

I smell some matters of the heart!

No way. I'm at a red light, İnci.

You said otherwise just now.

"You have to live life, be in the now."

That's an exception. Never mind.

Oh, if you could heal thyself, huh?

No, I'm just making a move because it will break my heart.

Come on, let it break.

We will live and see.

Mm, you're almost there, İnci.

-Salad? -Not now.

This looks great, too. Who made it?

Wait, I'll call Coco.

She has great stories.

Coco!

Bring your glass!

She's great.

I love her.

Come, dear. Sit.

Scoot.

The person you have called cannot be reach at the moment.

Please try again later.

-Hello? -Hello? Reyhan?

I can't reach İnci. Can you hand her the phone?

Mrs. İnci is not home yet, Mr. Haldun.

Where could she go?

Didn't say, Mr. Haldun.

Where is she so late?

She's acting weird all of a sudden!

Fine! Hang up.

Oh, İnci!

The person you have called cannot be reach at the moment.

Please try again later.

İnci! Where are you, İnci?

Hello? Leyla?

-Mükü? -Are you okay?

No.

I don't think I'll ever be fine.

It's your rival again? Cem?

Yes.

But this time it's different.

It was always different, Leyla.

Rivalry has always been a part of your life.

You've been fighting your heart.

I guess so.

What makes you so tense?

Why can't you just let go?

What if I do?

It won't work out for us.

He doesn't feel what I feel.

I know I have to stay away.

It will break my heart if I don't.

I know that, too.

It hurts, Mükü.

He's not good for me.

Don't follow him then, Leyla.

-Don't follow him? -Sure!

Leyla...

...you worked so hard for what you have.

You're not someone who...

...stumbles upon the matters of the heart. Let it go.

Move on.

Focus on your job, on yourself.

You're right.

I think I should.

If you want to follow someone, choose someone who's good for you.

Someone who will be a band aid, not leave a scar.

Someone that won't distract you.

I have someone like that.

I'm not quite sure yet, but...

Someone who won't burn.

I'm so curious about who Leyla will pick.

I egged her on but we'll see.

Oh... Should I have stayed out of it?

Huh? Maybe I should've shut up.

Mmm, no.

I made a mistake.

No, no. I was right.

I was right, yeah. I did what's good for her.

You're too hot.

I did well.

What if it was a mistake?

Let me see.

What do you think?

What are you doing here?!

-Are you eavesdropping? -No.

Isn't your shift over?

-No. -Isn't your break over?

-No. -Are you on your shift now?

No one has such a long shift!

Go back to work! You're weird!

Take the dishes!

This is too cold!

It will make you sick!

-Şinasi. -Süri.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

The night is a blur.

I'm parched. Get me a drink please.

Right away. Soda, lemon, salt for my Süri.

Us the elite call that Churchill.

Look at me, I'm here all day.

As if I have nothing else to do.

That would be so great. We can sit you here.

You'll be a sight for sore eyes.

-Thank you, love. -Here you are.

Merci.

Isn't Leyla here?

Leyla is... Um... Busy.

Busy with what?

Well, um... Guys! Please do some work!

We're so busy!

-Please! -Şinasi, what are you doing?

What happened?

What?

Phone. Is it a call? You have a message.

Fine, I'll check.

Şinasi, you're so funny.

If you're not coming over here, I'm coming over there.

What is this?

Come outside.

I'll be right back, dear.

What do I do?

Will I go?

I can't make up my mind.

I don't know what to do.

If you want to follow someone, choose someone who's good for you.

Someone who will be a band aid, not leave a scar.

Like, you need to be with someone who cools you down, not fires you up.

With someone who makes you smile.

Maybe you need to be with someone you can be happy with...

...instead of burning for love.

I'm ready.

Hello.

Leyla?

Can we talk?
