A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Sir.

Thanks.

All right!

Yeah, what do you want?

Oh shit!

Hey, what have you got for me?

What?

Are you serious?

Kerem.

Sinan, what's going to happen?

We couldn't stop it.

Necdet's the new principal.

Then why would you try

to make me believe that this thing wasn't over!

But it is! It is! Everything is over, Sinan!

Now, get out of my house!

Don't look at me like that! Just get the fuck out!

I don't want to see you again! Ever!

Işık, please...

I don't want to hear it! Get out!

Işık?

Oh, look who it is.

It's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

We just came here to figure out what to do next.

Shut the fuck up, Eda.

Stop trying to help me.

Stop messing with other peoples' lives. I'm sick of it.

Do you think you're going to save me or something?

I never asked you to do this. I didn't want you to help me.

But no, you guys had to find a project.

You try to solve other people's problems

instead of dealing with any of your own shit.

- Işık. - Sinan, fuck off!

I don't want you to come around here anymore.

Just get out of my life!

- Come on, come back here! - Sinan.

- Işık! - Sinan. Sinan.

Hey. Hey.

Listen, I don't like it either but we have to give her space.

Come on.

Sinan, just look at me.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Get off me.

Move.

Sinan!

Do you mind?

No, it's fine.

Hey there?

You hungry? Here.

Oh, you're a big guy, aren't you?

Good boy. Come on. Take a look around.

Go on. Go on. Go.

There's something I need to say.

- And it really can't wait any longer. - I'm listening.

Well then...

Um, I know it's late, but I was thinking about the reason you suspended me

and I just thought that you should know that...

Good evening, Miss.

Sinan?

What's going on here?

What's Sinan doing here?

- I would rather not answer that question. - I insist you do.

Come on. Do I really look like such a troublemaker to you?

Mm-hmm. I think that's you exactly.

Tell me, Kemal.

He got kicked out.

I don't really know the situation, but he's been staying here for a while.

I know there are unresolved issues between us

but I'm asking you just this once, please stay out of this for me.

Okay. I will.

You will?

Well, thank you.

So tell me. Why did you come here tonight?

The school.

Mmm.

All of Necdet's terrible ideas.

- How can you just... - No, stop. Stop, stop, stop. Stop.

Why do we keep playing games with each other?

What are we going to do about us?

I... just can't pretend like nothing happened.

You're right here. Both of us are.

My house, my living room. You decided to come.

What are we still arguing about?

Stop denying it.

You're right.

I guess I don't know why I came either, Kemal.

Can we talk for a bit?

Yeah, sure. I could really use the company.

What's the matter with you?

Oh, we're gonna need something a lot stronger than tea

if we're going to get anywhere tonight.

I'm just going to go and grab a bottle for us, okay?

Yes, please.

This will help.

- You sure about that? - Yeah.

So, tell me what's been bothering you lately.

This woman is driving me insane. I swear I'm going crazy.

Forget about me for a second.

It kinda seems like something just happened to you as well.

What's there to say?

I just keep running in circles. This entire situation is driving me crazy.

And why should this even matter with all our other problems?

What other problems?

What Necdet's been up to? And Kemal's just going along with it?

Oh, come on. Are you serious?

You gotta get past that. That isn't your problem.

Of course it's my problem, Eda. You expect me to do nothing?

Okay, I think we need to get to the bottom of something here.

Why don't you just tell me why you are torturing this guy like this?

But he's the one torturing me!

What did I do to him? He ended the relationship.

He just decided one day to turn his back on me.

Yeah, and then he suspends me from my own school, what's with that?

Comes all the way here just to talk about school.

Maybe she's playing a game with you.

What game is that?

She needs a metaphor to say how she really feels.

Cause maybe she's too embarrassed to say it outright.

Just play along.

I really hate fucking metaphors.

He tells me what he wants is clarity

when he won't make any promises himself.

So you are saying he should propose to you or something?

No, I'm not even talking about that.

Then, what is it?

I just want to feel certainty.

She can't be sure about me.

Whatever in the hell that means.

Well, how could she be?

You sent her away, completely shut her out.

What did you expect?

All right, let's back up a second and talk honestly with each other.

- Don't get angry, okay? - I can take it. Let me hear it.

You know what?

Maybe you don't actually deserve to be with this guy.

Think about your last boyfriend, Tuncay or whatever.

You were almost going to marry that shitty guy.

And?

Be honest.

He was not even close to being on the same level as Kemal.

Maybe you just don't believe a man like that can love you.

Maybe you're afraid he'll figure it out one day

and be like, "'Maybe that girl isn't so great after all?"

Maybe this is happening because you don't love yourself.

So come on! Stop it.

Believe in yourself a little. No point in whining about it.

I don't want to piss you off, but he's got a point.

Forgive her. You need to support her.

We're all human.

Life's not as clear as a basketball game.

Why am I listening to some high school kid? Here.

This high school kid might be your last hope.

How you doing, Ahmet?

Hey there.

You heard the news?

Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah, I heard.

Got any nuts?

- What? - The nuts.

I must have forgotten.

What's going on? You okay?

I am not.

What happened to you?

Good morning everyone.

Okay. Settle down.

I finished grading your papers.

- Why don't we start with that? - Uh, ma'am?

What is it, Osman?

- We only just started. - Can I please be excused?

Why is that?

I'm not sure. I couldn't think of a good lie.

Fine, Osman.

That's probably for the best.

Be on your way.

That's right.

Anyway, I have graded your papers.

In general, they're not great.

Also, I told you this many times,

but I hate it when Aristotle is referred to as "Aristo."

Eda.

Now this is something!

This is incredible work.

Please keep going, you hear me?

Don't you let anything get in your way.

You're really coming into your own. You're doing great!

Thank you, I will.

- Hi, son. - Hey, Mom.

Well, our beloved son Kerem finally decided to show up.

What a pleasant surprise.

It's truly an honor to have you here in our presence tonight.

Why don't you have some salad?

No, thanks.

So tell me, what are you thinking?

You only have a few months left.

I wonder if you have any kind of a plan.

No, I don't.

The university exam?

- Not taking it. - Not taking it?

Of course. Only five months to study.

Who could possibly make any progress in that time, right?

I don't know what I expected. I had hoped you'd turn things around.

There's no hope for you, is there?

You know? That's right Dad.

There's no hope for me anymore.

So why don't you just give up on me?

You don't have to make an effort anymore.

Get over it.

It's over.

I'll have some salad, Mom.

Okay, dear.

Eda?

I've missed you.

Come on and play!

Come on.

Come on, man.

Elif...

What's going on?

You asked for us?

Osman?

It's about him?

- Excuse me? - She's asking if Osman's coming.

- Ah. - Oh. See for yourself.

You asked for me?

She asked for all of us, but she especially wants to see you.

So, let's cut to the chase. What's this about?

What are you going to do now?

Işık is still expelled.

Necdet's the principal. Your plan fell through.

Great job! You totally nailed it.

- I thought this was important for you. - It is important.

Actually, there's nothing more important.

It's just that...

we're sort of out of ideas.

Also, Osman's off his game. We're stuck.

There must be something. Osman, help us out.

Trust me, I'm just as desperate as you guys.

What's up? You've been acting super weird the last few days.

I don't know either. It's like I'm brain dead.

- Listen, we're seeing Işık tonight. - She won't let us in.

I'll break down the door. We're going. That's the end of it.

Elif comes as well, since you're so worried about it, yeah?

- Sinan. - Hmm?

Come here for a second. You too.

Guys, come on!

- What's up with her? - Just walk.

You're really good at piano.

I know.

You know, obviously. That was stupid of me.

- Did something happen? - Did something happen?

Yeah, but...

But what?

Not your fault. Don't worry.

Elif?

I think you should give them another chance.

I mean, I know it's not really any of my business,

but can't you see that they really care about you?

You're lucky to have them.

Sinan was there? How is he?

I'm not sure.

He doesn't come to class so I don't see him a lot.

He would come here to study.

I mean, tutor me for the exam that is.

What do you mean?

Never mind.

Hey, you have a thing for Osman, right?

What gave you that idea?

Well, it's kind of like being sick. You know?

And you can tell when someone else has the same illness you have.

There should be a way to do group therapy for it.

Because you can only help someone in love

if you know what they're going through.

I'm Işık...

I'm a love-aholic.

Or something.

Welcome to the group, Işık.

How did you know about me? What did you see?

It was actually pretty easy to see.

Like, when you walk into a room...

you don't see anyone else but him.

You always check on him,

standing here or there.

Is he smiling?

Or is he in a bad mood?

You wonder, what's wrong? What happened?

Is he looking at me?

Does he feel the same?

So many questions like that.

All right. Good morning, my friend!

As I'm sure you can see, here I am. Better than ever.

Top of my game.

I have hazelnuts. Here you go.

Anything important I should know about?

Today is Sunday.

You lose track of anything else.

You'd lose interest in anything that's not about him.

Nothing else matters.

- I'll see you. - Take it easy.

Turkey could be winning the World Cup,

the sky could be falling down around you.

And you would ignore all of it for him.

And the crazy thing?

You just want to be alone.

When you're alone,

you're free to think about him every minute you're not with him.

It feels like trying to breathe underwater.

And seeing him again is like coming up for air.

So yeah...

I definitely say love is kind of an addiction.

Mm-hmm.

There you are. So, Işık...

Have you calmed down enough to talk?

You sounded like Necdet for a second.

Stop joking.

Okay?

Anything to drink around here?

Oh, I almost forgot. I managed to get some beer.

- Are you serious? - Wait, since when are you buying alcohol?

I only brought them for you.

Shit. They're piss-warm though.

How did you sneak out? Are you sure you won't get caught?

I did what you told me to.

I put on a tape and left.

Oh, you've been teaching her your tricks, huh?

We should be getting to work.

We're trying to do that, Sinan.

But unless you've got something, we don't have much to go with.

Necessity is the mother of invention, right?

Unless you blame all your problems on the world.

In which case, that's a great attitude. Just give up.

The hell's your problem? You think I don't care as much as you?

Well, apparently you don't!

- Sinan. - You need to chill out man.

We're thinking here.

You go ahead and drink your beer. Have a nice chat.

Convince yourselves you've tried your best. I'm out of here.

Hey, Sinan! Where the fuck are you going?

Fuck this shit, Osman!

This is all your fault.

It's because of your stupid brain that we don't have a plan already.

You picked the wrong time to have feelings.

- What? - Shh.

I'm going too. Do whatever you want.

What's going on?

All right.

We shouldn't panic.

We can still do this. Let's try tomorrow.

I don't want to go through with this.

I can't take it.

Come on, don't be like that! We'll figure it out.

Necdet was on his way up when we made our move.

That was our mistake, our timing.

Now things are different.

He's comfortable. He's letting his guard down.

We've turned things around before. We can again.

Kerem, you're a lot smarter than people give you credit for. Do you know that?

You're kind-hearted as well. I think you're going to end up just fine.

I agree.

All done?

- Do you have the missing piece to this? - What are you talking about?

I thought so. Come here, Paris, let's go.

- Going somewhere? - It's time to move on.

I really appreciate everything you've done.

I'll come by for a drink.

You don't even have to knock over a bookcase.

A normal invitation will do. See you later.

Hello?

Dude, it's confirmed. I got the job.

The coach spot is open for you. You're good to go, right?

Oh.

Working on it.

Um, I'll call you tomorrow. I'm kind of busy right now.

Oh. Okay.

Looks like I'm back.

- Billur... - Are you busy tonight?

Hmm?

Billur.

I think that you're a terrific woman.

You don't deserve this.

I'll be honest.

Burcu is the woman for me. I decided to wait for her.

I don't have eyes for anyone else.

Shit! I'm sick of this.

Bad news, Kemal.

You'll be waiting for that woman a long, long time.

I still just can't understand it.

Why are you letting her do this?

I mean, it's cute you're still waiting.

I just wonder how much more of your life you're gonna waste.

Hey, Kerem!

- Are you going tonight? - To Işık's?

Sure, I will.

We didn't get a chance to talk. How are you doing?

The same as always.

You?

Eda and you broke up?

It had to happen.

When you love someone,

you have to do what's best for them. You know?

Even when that really hurts yourself.

Well, then. I'll see you later.

This high school kid might be your last hope.

Unless you'd rather rot away teaching high school.

A real educator would care about what happens at this school.

You're not an educator and you never wanted to be.

Hello?

It's Kemal, man. Count me in.

Am I barging in? I'm worried about you.

Um, there's something I want to talk to you about.

Sure, come right on in.

Well, um...

Burcu, there's something I need to confess to you I'm afraid.

Okay, what is it?

How do I say this?

And remember, I'm on your side.

Considering everything Kemal did to you.

- Which is totally unacceptable. - And?

Something happened between us, Burcu.

It just happened. I guess it was meant to be.

I'm not sure how it happened. We were at his place and...

He said he wanted to talk,

and one thing led to another.

I thought you should know. Sorry.

I see.

Let me just... I'll go make some tea.

Okay.

Wait.

Wait a minute. Sinan wasn't there?

What?

Sinan and that dog of his. Where were they?

I don't understand. What are you talking about?

Huh.

I can't believe this.

Why did you come here, Billy?

There's absolutely nothing going on.

Kemal hasn't paid attention to you one single time.

So what did you tell me that for?

I... I'm really impressed.

It's impressive how you can just stand there

and tell me lies right to my face.

There I was, second-guessing myself like a complete idiot.

But I get it now.

Thanks to you and all the dirty tricks you keep playing with me.

I finally realize what needs to be done.

So, you want to know something?

The man is mine.

And you better get over it, you hear me?

Hey!

Who wants a beer?

- Sure. - I'll have one.

- I'll go set up the table. - I'll come help you.

I'll take that.

Also, Osman's off his game.

Is he looking at me?

Careful.

Does he feel the same?

Did something happen?

Yeah, well, but not your fault. Don't worry.

"Let your torture grow," the old saying goes.

"Let your torture grow until it destroys you"

Meaning things have to get a lot worse before they get better.

And that's what we'll do. Necdet has to be pushed to the extreme.

We give something out in his name then take it away.

Necdet takes all the blame. So our goal should be to cause a riot.

When people are used to getting something for long enough

they'll start to think that having it is their right,

however it may have started.

Whoever takes it away, that's the tyrant.

You're saying, Necdet's the one who'll look like the bad guy?

That's it, isn't it?

We'll start by giving out bananas. Potassium keeps the mind sharp.

- Then we do pide. - Good.

But if we're the ones handing everything out?

How will Necdet take the credit for it?

That's what we'll say. We'll say they're from Necdet.

Yeah, but what happens when that shithead tells them otherwise?

You think he will?

I think Necdet can't resist taking credit for anything

no matter what the truth is. He loves praise.

Well, what happens if he finds his conscience for once?

He won't. Don't worry. I'll handle that.

Okay.

I feel like this could actually work.

But if it doesn't end up working, let's be cool about it.

And, I realize I might be speaking mostly for myself.

It'll work. Don't worry. We'll make it work.

I know this will work out. We're doing it together, aren't we?

- I say consider it done. - Cheers.

I'll get more beer for all of us. I'll be right back.

Sounds good.

Sinan.

So...

Do you want to keep studying together?

I would love to.

Here I am.

At your door, at your house.

You were right.

I mean, you are right.

Of course there's a reason

I keep coming to you over and over again.

I'm finally done with being uncertain forever

because I know right now that I just want to be with you.
