Look ahead! Don't look down.

Like this?

Exactly.

Don't go too fast.

If you fall down, you will get hurt.

If I don't go fast, the pinwheel doesn't turn smoothly.

It will. It will. You take care of yourself.

Exactly. Look! Look how it turned! Look!

Where did you get that pinwheel from?

It was mine. I found it in my old stuff.

I used to attach it to my bicycle as a kid.

It used to turn

And I really liked it.

Ugur seems to like it too.

Thanks, Mahir.

Don't mention it.

It's just a pinwheel.

I want to make the kids happy.

Look, dad! It's turning so smoothly.

Well done, Son! Well done!

I hope I don't get used to it too much.

To what?

To what we're doing.

Aren't we acting like a family?

Wow!

Life is very strange.

Until yesterday,

forget about a bicycle,

I didn't even have a kid around me.

Today I have a kid and a wife.

In fact, I have two kids.

In fact, you have a new father and new siblings too.

Of course. Of course.

Please don't forget my new brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law?

What was that weird woman's name?

Zahide! Zahide!

Yes. She's there too.

What would you call my sister-in-law?

She's my sister-in-law too, I guess.

No, Helen is my sister-in-law.

-Yes -But...

I don't know either. I'm so confused.

We were a family of three.

I don't know when we became such a huge family.

Right. Right.

I think we should draw a family tree.

So that we're able to understand who is who.

What's happening here? Why are you laughing?

Tell me too, if it's something funny.

Son, let us understand first. We'll tell you later.

We need to understand it first.

Why are you laughing?

We're laughing at our complex family tree.

Oh dad!

Asiye

Hmm?

Suppose

I die.

Or I'm dying. I have 3 months left.

Don't say that, Cemal.

God forbid.

Not for real, Asiye. Just suppose.

I'm dead.

Will you...

...love someone else?

No, I won't.

What if I abandon you?

Then what?

Why would you abandon me, Cemal? Where did this come from?

I'm just asking you to imagine.

Give me an answer.

Will you love someone else or not?

I won't.

Never.

What about you?

Can you love someone else?

Well

I'm a young

and a handsome guy.

Won't you feel sorry for me? What would I do alone?

Cemal, are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious.

Where are you going?

I may die early and this child would be left all alone.

Wait! Wait! Wait! I'm kidding.

Look at me.

Look here.

I'll go blind, if I look at someone else.

What are you talking about?

Don't crack such jokes. They make me sad.

Okay.

I won't, my love.

I won't.

You know I'm crazy for you.

You said you would never love someone else, Asiye.

Do it again.

Do it.

Who would've thought?

What?

You're such a beautiful family. Touch wood.

I don't remember hearing laughter in this mansion.

When we were kids.

Right.

This mansion has turned into a warm home, thanks to you guys.

Gülsüm!

Can you make some coffee for us?

Let's have coffee together.

-Sure. -Sure.

Okay. To the verandah, please.

Right away.

Let's go.

Come join us, my love.

Thanks, Gülsüm.

Bon appetit.

Thank you, Gülsüm. Thanks a lot.

Asiye

You had told us the other day about meeting him at the gas station, right?

It was your story of meeting my childhood friend, Mahir.

But now it's your story of meeting my brother, Mahir.

Tell me that story.

Well

My wallet got stolen at the gas station.

My love, you're right on time. This is the most exciting part.

We're going to find out how Asiye and Mahir met.

Really?

I'd like to listen to this story too.

So? Your wallet got stolen. Then?

Asiye didn't tell you the complete story.

There's something before that too.

When I saw Asiye from afar,

I got a feeling.

Love.

That's love, right?

I thought we could walk together.

We didn't care about the path and just started this journey.

Love at first sight?

How romantic!

When I first saw Cemal, I felt like I had found the love of my life.

I just fell for him.

I used to get really nervous meeting him initially.

But I still get nervous, don't I, darling?

Do you remember the first gift I gave you?

I didn't know what to buy.

Yes, I loved him, but I didn't know him.

Okay, Helen.

Let's not bore them.

Right?

I'm not. Are you guys bored? Because I...

...don't know how to stop when it's about Cemal.

No problem for now. Don't worry.

Okay, fine.

So? What was I saying?

Your gift.

Yes, my gift.

Anyway! I was so confused what to buy.

Then I told myself to think classic.

I went and bought him a watch.

And Cemal loved it.

Right?

Whose is this? It fell out of your pocket.

Someone had dropped it in my taxi last night.

I picked it up to keep it safe.

Oh good. That person must be upset.

It looks expensive.

Maybe it is.

None of our business.

Asiye

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Then Cemal wore that watch until he wore it out.

My darling. It was my gift.

So, I never took it off.

They've already formed a chat group. Look!

I just hope Mahir and Cemal stay away from me.

They can become best friends. I don't care.

That was a good one.

But tell me something.

Is it normal that Helen has accepted them so soon?

What's wrong with her?

Helen says she likes that girl.

That's obvious.

She never had coffee with us in that verandah, you know.

If you want, you can go and hang out with them.

Come on.

-Shall I? -Mm-hmm

You too.

No! I can't tolerate them, for God's sake.

Let me be. You can go.

Okay.

Are you going?

Never stay behind, okay?

Or else you might miss some gossip. God forbid.

That would be too bad. Go.

Listen?

I'll give you all the scoop. Just wait.

Okay.

-Do you remember that? -What?

One time here, we...

Hello!

What are you talking about?

Listen?

Don't say that another missile is about to strike this mansion.

I swear, I can't take it anymore.

Because I can't keep up with it anymore.

No, we were talking about general stuff.

About general stuff?

Sweetie, you found such a handsome brother at this age.

You must have something interesting to discuss.

So, how are you?

You're living a comfortable in this huge mansion.

How's life here? Tell me.

We'll take your leave now.

Please excuse us.

Let's go, Asiye.

Why?

Have a nice day.

I'll sit here then. Closer to you.

I don't understand why they went away.

We also need to pack our bags.

Zahide, we're leaving tomorrow.

That's why, we're also going.

Have coffee with me, please!

Maybe later.

Maybe later.

Annoying.

Leave me alone.

I like it better this way.

Gülsüm!

I want to enjoy a cup of coffee.

Bring me a cup of Turkish coffee.

With sugar.

Gülsüm!

Mom, can you stop checking my laptop?

I want you to respect my privacy.

Am I asking for too much?

"I want you to respect my privacy."

"Am I asking for too much?"

Look at him!

Sure, darling.

gettheprosecutor'spermissionand then seewhat you're doing next time

No need to go that far, mom.

If you ask me, I'll tell you everything.

As if I don't know what you're going to say.

I'm studying, mom.

I swear, I'm studying.

Instead of looking at someone's pictures, hang these clothes to dry.

Come on.

Okay, mom.

Queen Emine!

Look what I got you!

What? Show me.

The shopkeeper said it was organic wool.

Let me see. These are such nice colors.

Now...

I'm going to knit a sweater for Ugur.

Let me see these colors too.

And I'll knit a cardigan for Nergis.

Do you think they would like it, Fikret?

Of course, mom.

If you're making it, it has to be beautiful.

I'm telling you that there's something wrong with Alican.

What could be wrong, Gülsüm? Leave him alone.

I'm saying it for a reason, mom.

What reason?

What's wrong with him?

I don't know exactly, Fikret, but...

guess it's a matter of love.

Oh, you're talking about that?

Hmm, I'm talking about that.

Getting scared when you catch him on his laptop.

Saying weird stuff.

This fool has fallen for some girl.

Really? Wow! My attaboy!

It suits my son.

-What nonsense? -What are you doing, girl?

Listen!

Don't encourage him by saying such things.

He has a test this year.

My son will go to college.

What love affair out of nowhere?

Gülsüm

Stop talking and start working.

Look at the time.

They will start asking for food. Come on.

Fikret, what are you doing here in the kitchen?

Get back to work.

Come on, Gülsüm.

Lay the table.

I've washed these.

Come on. Come on, Gülsüm. No more talking.

Thanks, Queen Emine.

Bon appetit, son.

Thanks for the food.

Son

Where's your daughter? Why didn't she come for dinner?

She's sitting here, dad. Can't you see?

He isn't talking to you.

He's talking to Mahir.

You are so naive, my love.

Nergis had a headache.

She went to bed a little early.

I see.

But if there's something serious

some medical issue,

just let me know.

There are a lot of doctors and hospitals around.

Okay. Thank you.

What are you doing about their school?

Dad, the owner of Ilayda's school is a friend of yours, right?

Yes, dear.

Bring their IDs tomorrow. I'll get them enrolled.

You don't have to worry in vain.

TEIO

Do they ask for their IDs on the very first day?

Are you sending them to school for the first time, sister-in-law?

No

That's not the thing, but...

...I'm not sure about here.

Darling, I think it's already middle of the session.

And the curriculum is also different from Russia.

We can arrange private tuition for them this year.

Good idea.

Mom, I'm full.

May I watch a cartoon movie with Ahmet?

Okay. But first wash your hands and face and have your syrup, okay?

Okay. Let's go, Ahmet.

What syrup?

What happened?

Is Uur sick?

He was coughing. So, the doctors asked us to continue his medication.

Let's not forget to take him for a check-up, okay?

Okay, Mahir.

This father-son duo is so fond of each other.

We're very lucky, Asiye. Not every father is this loving.

Thankfully, you're here, dad.

Thus, I won't win "the worst dad" award.

"The Most Useless Son" award is enough for you, Raci.

What's the need for any other award, son?

Did you find it funny, Mahir?

Do you like seeing my husband insult my son?

Nedret

Stay out of it, okay?

What if I don't, Harun?

Would I have to leave this house with my bags?

Please, don't fight

Please.

It's okay, mom. I smiled too. Dad said something funny.

We allsmiled. There's nothing wrong with that.

I'll change the topic

Sweetheart, we had met a couple on our honeymoon.

They had twins, right?

don't know, Helen. I don't remember, but..

.you've told a lot about us.

Let's not bore them.

What did I tell, for God's sake?

About the watch.

You had just told us about that.

Yes, I just told about that, but...

...okay. Whatever.

I'll keep quiet.

Since we're talking about our memories, I'd like to share one too.

In our garden,

there was a pool when we were kids.

Do you remember?

Yes, the three of us had gotten into it once.

Dad was really mad.

In fact, you had pushed us and had blamed me for it.

Exactly.

And dad had slapped you hard.

That you actually fell down.

That means...

..you had no value at all.

What a pity.

Bon appetit.

Someone had to pay the price and I was the scapegoat.

It was in our remote past.

You can't hit your children anymore.

You guys enjoy your dinner. I'm full.

Bon appetit, son.

I'll go check on Nergis.

Bon appetit.

-The soup is delicious. -It's yummy.

Listen to me.

What's the matter? What do you want?

What do you want?

What are you up to?

Yes. What do I want?

One day, when all of you are asleep

I want to choke you all with a pillow

and take over all your property.

Yes

guess that's what I want.

I'm kidding.

It was a joke.

You never laughed a lot.

Excuse me. I...

Go away.

You are disturbing us all.

This mansion has forever been disturbing, Miss Nedret.

It hasn't come with me.

Don't act smart with me, Mahir.

I said you have to leave.

No one wants you here. Do you still not get it?

I'm not that kid playing in the garden anymore.

You should accept the fact

that you can neither boss me around nor make me leave.

Miss Nedret.

What's happening here?

What were you talking about, Nedret?

Miss Nedret was asking if I needed anything.

But I'm good.

Good night you guys!

Good night, son.

Sleep well.

What did you say to Mahir?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

The crocodiles stretch their tails for help.

Did you know that crocodiles lived with dinosaurs

and have survived for 240 million years?

They look so cute sleeping.

Cemal!

What happened?

Look! They look so cute sleeping.

You take Ugur to his bed.

Come here, sleepyhead.

Come! Come!

My son.

Don't bother. I'll take him.

Dad!

Come here, my boy! Come!

I'll put him to bed before he wakes up.

Asiye

Just a minute.

Let go, Cemal.

I will, but I first need to say something.

There was nothing between us back then.

We had just met.

That's it.

I was pregnant.

I was rejoicing for our baby while she was buying you presents.

You didn't come home some days.

I used to feel sorry for you for working so hard.

I used to wait for you all day beside the window.

But you had already abandoned me.

No, that's not true.

That's really not true.

I was extremely confused.

I was working, but it wasn't enough.

It wasn't working out.

And you know it.

I got fed up and tried to look for an escape.

Yes, I met Helen.

But nothing happened between us.

I swear.

I never cheated on you while we were still married.

I don't care.

Why are you telling me all this? Why?

Why are you still trying to hurt me?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything.

If it makes you feel better,

if it gives you some relief,

let me confess it

God has punished me.

I was never happy after you.

Never.

Help!

Help!

Stop it!

So what if your mom's not home? I'm like your elder brother.

Are you scared of me?

How's school?

Do you have a boyfriend in school?

Help! Help! Help!

Help!

Don't be afraid, girl.

Wait! Come here.

-Are you really going to stab me? -Stop it!

Dad!

Dad, help me!

Dad, help me!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, help me!

Dad, don't go! Help me!

Dad!

Dad, don't go!

Dad, don't go!

Dad, please help me!

Dad, help me!

Dad!

Dad

Dad

Save me.

Nergis?

Nergis?

-Help! -It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. Relax. Relax.

It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Relax.

Okay. It's okay, dear. It's okay.

It was a nightmare.

But you woke up.

Have some water.

Are you feeling better?

Yes

I'm fine.

If you want I can stay here until you fall asleep.

I saw that guy in my dream.

I know my mom has told you about him.

Yes, she has.

Have you ever killed somebody?

But that guy...

I mean, the one who hurt you

Had he been alive, I would've killed him without batting an eyelid.

Really?

Yes

That bastard had committed a crime.

Look!

I know it's not easy to forget about it.

But it will pass.

It will fade away with time.

Your dad's role that I'm playing..

...to protect you guys

Yes

It may come to an end one day.

I mean

we may go our separate ways.

But don't ever forget that

your brother Mahir is here, okay?

Be it with you or away from you,

I'm a part of your lives now.

I won't let anyone harm you anymore.

Don't ever forget that.

Okay?

Brother Mahir

Thank you.

Sleep well, dear.

I put him to bed.

He didn't wake up at all.

Thanks.

We need to solve the issue of the bed.

But how?

Hello, Fikret?

I'm bothering you at this hour, brother.

But can you do your brother a favor?

There's a couch in my room, right?

Can you help me bring it here?

No! No!

I won't let you carry it alone.

Oh that way?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, thanks. Thanks.

I'm blessed to have a brother like Fikret.

Easy. You will wake everyone up.

Dad, you've given me the heavier side.

I can't carry it.

Alican, how's that side heavier, for God's sake?

Turn.

Turn.

Where is this couch going at this hour?

Hang on. Carefully, Fikret.

Tell me. Where is this couch going?

I'm dead, uncle.

My arms are numb.

Come on, my lion. Come on.

Come on.

They are so annoying.

Raci

I can't believe it. They're redecorating the room at this hour.

Can you imagine?

It's actually happening.

How weird.

Didn't I tell you to fear such people?

Didn't I, Raci?

You did, darling. You did.

No, and also...l want to ask you something. Look here!

You know those women who act all innocent and sweet?

Like old Turkish women?

They're very dangerous.

Very cunning.

Aren't they?

Why don't you say something? Let's talk.

Don't you find it weird that this room was given to us?

You are the elder son, but look how small this room is.

Don't you like this room?

I don't like this room at all.

Because it's very small.

Do you find this room small, Zahide?

Yes, it's small.

For me it is.

Okay. It's big, Raci.

It's a huge room.

-I'll tell you what. -Hmm?

Look here!

You know me.

I didn't like this girl at all.

And I'm really S going to give her a hard time.

I swear.

I won't let her live in peace.

A new girl is going to leave me behind. Really?

No way. I won't let that happen.

May God give you some wisdom and me some patience.

Zahide

Raci

Good night.

Brother

I bothered you late at night.

No problem, brother. It was nothing.

Uncle, my back hurts really bad, you know.

I think you should make up for it.

Shut up, you donkey!

Don't worry.

I'll take you shopping.

Really?

You are the best.

Come on! Stop being a smartass.

Your aunt wants to sleep. Right?

Thank you. Good night.

Good night.

Good night then.

-Good night. -Good night.

Uncle

Okay. Okay. Okay.

He's a kid.

It feels so good.

But Mahir, let me put something over it. Then you can sleep.

It's good.

But how can you sleep without a sheet or a pillow?

Let me take these.

Come here.

If you hold its corners, it would be easier.

Who do you think has been doing all this work for this single guy, Miss Asiye?

You are right. It didn't occur to me.

We will learn about each other this way.

Okay okay. Don't bother. It will get creased in a bit.

Let me tuck this in.

I'll get changed first and then you...

Sure.

Wasn't Zahide talking nonsense while we were having coffee today?

She's obsessed with Mahir.

I don't think it would end up well.

We are leaving right on time, darling.

Or else, we would've been caught up in this mess.

What happened to you?

You were upset about staying here.

Now are you upset about leaving?

Sweetheart, we're going back home. Cheer up a little.

No, dear. I'm not upset.

I have a little headache.

Then let me take a shower.

Wash away all the negativity.

Then I'll do you good.
