Careful! Careful.

Kerem, come here for a second.

Let's have a little chat.

How are things? What are you up to?

We haven't had a chance to talk for a while.

When did we ever talk anyway? What is it?

What's that?

I said, when did we ever talk? Why talk now?

I guess it's my fault.

Why do I even bother asking?

Do you know anything about economics, anything about politics?

What will we even talk about?

What do your friends talk to you about, Kerem? Huh?

That is, if you have any friends.

You know, Dad, that's a bit harsh.

It's harsh?

Well, if you think this is being harsh to you,

let me tell you, losers get crushed in this world.

That'll happen to you too. Are you ready for that?

You will never be someone that people show any respect to.

That's not my goal.

I'm not interested in someone showing me fake respect.

It doesn't work like that, Kerem.

It just doesn't.

How does it work then, Dad? Enlighten me.

If you're weak in this world, you're nothing.

You won't ever be happy, trust me.

But you just keep on aiming towards nothing, if you prefer.

All the way to the fucking end.

I swear, you drive me insane.

I can't deal with him anymore.

Whoa!

Here we go, here we go.

We got this, we got it, yo.

What are you doing?

I'm doing this.

- Kerem. Kerem, come on. - Let go of me!

- Come on, stop, stop! - Let go! I said, let go!

Dude.

You've been upset with the world ever since Eda yelled at you.

Come on, pull yourself together.

She's right.

As long as we keep ignoring this exam, it's going to crush us.

You have to accept it, even if you don't like it.

If that's what you think, why not study?

I can't. I can't study.

When I see a book, I feel like I'm dying. I get nauseous.

It's just not for me.

Maybe I'm just stupid.

Don't be silly.

Here.

What is this?

Nothing. I wanted to try something new.

Let me talk to Eda.

About what?

I don't know. In general.

Let's see what her problem is.

Good evening, ma'am.

There are a lot of reasons why artworks are created.

Throughout the ages, artists have tried various ways

to express themselves to other people.

The need to express themselves arises in the mind of the artist,

and in order to fulfill this need...

Osman!

Come on, why don't you say something? What the hell happened?

Is everything okay? I wish you'd called first.

Nothing happened. Relax.

Everyone's all over the place. I just wanted to check on you.

Hmm.

What are you doing with these?

Huh? Practicing teaching?

No, dude, I'm just studying out loud. That's what I've been doing.

I figured it out, Osman.

I just have to study.

There's no other way.

Whatever I can do at this point...

Can you record these for me? Can you put this on tape?

Why?

I need it.

I'm gonna come and get them from you every day.

Who knows where you're gonna sell this shit.

I'll figure something out.

Elif's grounded

and you're still thinking about how to make a quick buck.

Oh shit, I'm sorry.

Have you even heard from her?

How are you doing with all of this?

Not great.

It's as if they've locked her in a dungeon.

Eat up and enjoy.

Oh! Okay, thank you.

- Well done, sir! - Hey, pides are back.

Stop, all right, all right.

Okay.

Enjoy them, everyone.

- Thank you! - Keep your energy up, then go to class.

Good morning.

Anything I should know about?

Uh, our salaries. They're going to be late.

- Why? - I don't know why.

Karakış made some adjustments to the budget.

He's telling us to get by for now.

Something's definitely going on.

Yeah, yeah. Something illegal is going on here.

Did you see the pides?

You cut them off, but...

What the hell?

Who brought these?

Necdet did.

Let me see what I can find out.

Please do. We're being mistreated here.

Did you bring Paris to school?

He won't stay at my dad's.

Sinan.

Hey, is everything all right?

Huh? You look like shit.

You're never around anymore.

I'm not.

I don't know, man.

- Let's not talk about it, okay? - What's with the pides?

I thought we cut them off to cause trouble or whatever.

What happened, did Osman feel bad or something?

Morning, Eda. How are you?

Can we at least try to stay on the subject right now, please?

Sure thing.

- So, here's the situation. - Yeah?

Necdet played us.

I heard he's using the school budget to continue with the pides.

And how's he paying for all that?

He's using staff salaries, which is illegal.

Oh, hell yeah!

He's finally screwed up.

What do you mean?

We couldn't do anything to him because he wasn't doing anything illegal, right?

He can get investigated for this shit.

Oh, fuck yeah.

Blood really flows to your brain in the morning, doesn't it?

I had a pastry this morning. Must be that.

All right, then. Let's go and tell Elif.

She'll tell her father, and they'll start an investigation. How's that?

- Elif? - She's here.

What?

I think we did it this time, you guys.

Hey.

What's wrong with you?

He doesn't want to talk about it.

Fine.

It's not as bad as it looks, you know.

Really.

It doesn't hurt that bad.

What are you going to do?

The recital is so soon.

Well...

Even if it gets better, I didn't practice at all, so...

So you're sabotaging yourself?

I'm trying to gain my freedom to do what I want.

Let's get out of this place, so you can have a taste of that freedom.

Okay, sounds great.

- Let me get my bag. - I'll get it.

Thank you.

Hungry?

Yeah.

- What are we going to eat? - It'll be a surprise.

- I love surprises. - I know.

This is amazing.

I could eat this every day.

I really can't believe that you've actually never had a baked potato before.

I'm afraid my dad won't let me.

He says a poor diet makes you stupid.

Well, I've eaten every kind of junk food there is,

and between you and me, I haven't seen any harm yet.

- Do you know the story of this place? - Mm-mm.

Back in the day,

the head of a wealthy family had these stairs made

so his grandchildren could go to school without getting tired.

The Austrian high school is up there.

The stairs were a shortcut for them.

Wow.

This is the solution they came up with.

My father would do anything he could for me as well.

He does what he thinks is right,

with good intentions.

For my sake, I mean.

Do you understand?

No, not exactly. What do you mean?

Your parents...

As wrong as their methods might be,

as bad as it clearly is for you,

you should know that this is what they think is right.

They're trying to do what's best for your future.

What are you trying to say?

Do you not know what I've just been through?

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Don't get mad.

I'll tell you what.

Promise me, don't ever stop playing the piano.

Just play it for yourself,

don't play it to please anyone else.

I think you've forgotten how to do that.

The pressure they put on you

has made you forget what this is really about.

When I was little, I actually loved playing the piano.

And you still do.

I see that.

It's your sanctuary during your worst moments.

It's your best friend.

- A part of me, actually. - Look.

Use your ointments and try to get better in time.

And you go to that recital

and play only for yourself.

Do we have a deal?

Hmm.

So what are you going to give me in return, then?

Hmm...

Want dessert?

All right.

Mmm. They're actually good.

Let's just say I'm trying to get used to it.

Hey! Dude!

You're bouncing that thing every single night.

I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm just playing basketball.

Go on, get lost.

All right, fine.

Come on, man, my kids are sleeping.

Study up, kids.

Let's see what good it does you both.

Were we supposed to meet today? I don't remember that.

We weren't. I was wondering how much longer you'd be held a prisoner here.

But you know what?

I took the car.

Well, that's great, but I'm grounded. I can't leave.

I'm so worried they're gonna find out.

So what? It's not like they're going to exile you to Malta or something.

Besides, Kerem is an expert at abducting girls.

True story.

I do have a lot of experience.

I really wanted to get out, but...

I just don't want to upset anyone.

You know, let them be upset for once!

Do you have any idea what went on in the world

while I was stuck in that house?

What?

I don't know, it's...

It's just weird seeing you like this, wearing a suit.

You've become a big-shot lawyer.

Of course. A sense of justice.

That was very important to you.

I remember, you were the one who wanted to save the world,

the one who wanted justice the most.

You were always there for the little guy.

Don't be so sentimental. Is this a family reunion?

You sound like a proud mom, Işık, you know?

Here.

All right, fine. I'll shut up.

Come on.

Okay.

Why didn't you get married? You didn't get married, right?

Why not?

Of course, you're right.

I'm sure you never experienced anything like that again.

You guys really set the bar way too high for us all.

You were quite the couple back then.

I don't know either. I mean...

Sometimes...

it feels like a dream, like none of it was real.

And did we really go through all that,

or did I make all of it up in my head?

Sometimes I really can't tell.

Where's Osman?

Osman?

Osman's got something to do.

And now Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 played by Elif Pınar.

Promise me don't ever stop playing the piano.

Just play it for yourself.

Don't play it to please anyone else.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Here we go.

I knew Osman would take care of everything.

As you know, we've started an investigation.

And what we've uncovered

is not good.

Of course, yes. Uh...

I don't understand it either. I'm sure there must be a mistake.

While you were expected to pay the staff

with the budget you were given by the board,

you did set some of it aside.

We haven't figured out what you did with it.

Well, I'm sure it was a simple miscalculation on our end.

I mean, the records weren't kept properly, that's all there is to it.

Otherwise, why wouldn't we pay the staff salaries, huh?

Sir, your signature is on the paperwork for the arrangement that was made.

There's actually nothing to explain here.

We want your explanation only as a matter of procedure.

The situation is very clear.

No, no, let's not think of it that way. Of course, there must be an explanation.

All right. We're listening.

Mm-hmm.

Please explain.

Sir?

Go on, please. We're listening.

Well...

I actually didn't want to tell you any of this.

I thought what happens inside a family should stay there.

But since we find ourselves in this unfortunate situation,

I'm afraid I have a secret to reveal to the board.

Let it be known I'm sick of hiding it.

Yes. We're listening.

Yıldıray Pınar.

Maybe you already know.

He enrolled his daughter in this school.

He wanted her to study here

until she went to Vienna.

Isn't that right, Miss?

Uh, that's right.

We even arranged her schedule to suit her needs.

Are you serious?

But wait, there's more.

Yıldıray asked us to treat his daughter differently from everyone else.

That's not possible.

That's not the whole story.

He also asked for a music room with a grand piano, among other things,

that only his precious daughter was allowed to use.

But that is outrageous!

Yeah.

As you know, we don't have that kind of budget at this school,

but just to make sure my staff was not affected by this...

I hid the truth...

and suffered in total silence.

Are you serious?

But I can't take it anymore.

We can't no longer tolerate the expenses we've incurred for Yıldıray.

And now, things have gotten to a point

where my beloved staff are suffering.

Here I am, being investigated,

all of this because against my better judgment,

I obeyed the repeated requests of Yıldıray Pınar, our Director of Education.

He made me do it!

We will certainly do something about this.

- Yes, of course. Totally unacceptable! - This is unacceptable.

Please don't worry, sir.

We will do what's necessary, Mr. Karakış.

It's your call.

Your call.

Good day.

Good day to you too.

Thank you. Thank you.

Good day.

Suzan.

What's happening?

Hmm?

DECREE MR. YILDIRAY PINAR

Yıldıray?

What happened?

It's over.

I got fired.

They're not going to sue, but...

they've fired me as Director of Education due to a false offense.

Oh, dear.

He won again.

That asshole.

Fucking piece of shit.

Isn't there any other way?

No, there isn't. It's over.

Fuck this world.

By the way, they're going to come and take wardrobes tomorrow.

Yes, they just called to confirm.

Mom?

Daddy, what's going on?

Good news, honey.

You don't need to wait to go to Vienna after all.

We're coming with you now.

You were upset you'd have to stay with Fräulein Rebecca on your own.

Now we're coming with you.

After what's happened, let's just say it was for the best.

- Are you leaving right away? - In a week.

We talked to the school.

After that recital...

They're so excited to have you there.

We've already made a great impression.

I should at least say goodbye to all of my friends.

What friends?

We were barely at that school anyway.

You should focus on your new friends at your new school.

Yes.

You will be with stellar musical prodigies like yourself.

But don't forget that they're also your rivals.

Right, princess?

Dear students.

Beloved students of our beloved school.

The exam is just around the corner.

We need to focus more than ever.

Lunch breaks are now canceled.

Fuck this shit.

I'm putting extra classes in its place.

Is this a joke, you asshole?

Music, art, and other classes like that are obviously out the window.

- This is bullshit! - Quiet, everyone!

- You can't do that. - It's for our own good, guys.

In addition to that, I'm addressing the seniors again.

You'll come to school 20 minutes earlier than usual in the mornings,

and leave 45 minutes later in the afternoon.

What the hell?

So then we can accommodate an additional class.

I always say,

to succeed is the only worthy goal of good young people!

"ALL YOUNGSTERS MUST ALWAYS STRIVE FOR SUCCESS."

What in the hell?

This is the way to succeed.

What's going on?

Quiet!

Ms. Distas.

Are you okay?

Not really, Sinan.

I'm not. Look at all this.

Isn't there a way out at all?

I don't think so.

There's nothing more I can do.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

How are you?

Okay. I only just made it to the phone.

No need to hurry. We have the whole night.

Still.

There's so much I want to tell you.

Kemal, the school is a terrible place right now.

Why?

Let me make some tea first.

You tell me about your day.

Come on, tell me. I'm curious.

Are you really? Are you really that concerned?

I think about it all the time.

I worry about Sinan.

So tell me.

Please tell me, what can I do for him?

I can't help him because I don't know what the problem is.

You shouldn't do it anyway.

We're not supposed to intervene, you know?

Because it hurts his pride.

It's a shitty situation.

I miss you a lot too.

I don't even know what I'm doing all day.

I'm always thinking about coming home and calling you.

Come back, then.

Come back here. To me.

You think I should?

It'll only take one word from you.

That's how close I am.

Come.

Come back, then.

Guys, I'm done here.

I wanna thank you all. You've turned into an amazing team.

Make sure you treat your new coach well.

Shh!

One, two, three.

Coach Kemal! Coach Kemal! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Yeah!

Coach Kemal!

Coach Kemal, you're the best!

Hello.

Oh, hey.

How's Paris doing?

The lump's bigger.

I'm thinking that maybe where I live right now isn't the best place for him.

Maybe if he stays here for a few days, he could get better.

Sure, we can try.

Of course.

Let's try it for a while, okay?

But like I told you last time...

I know.

If he doesn't get better,

if his pain gets any worse and he keeps...

Sure, I understand.

You don't understand, Sinan.

You need to be preparing yourself.

There's a very small chance he'll get better.

Once cancer starts, it progresses very quickly,

and there's no way to stop it.

Okay.

I'll be back in a few days, then.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Come on, Paris.

We'll get you taken care of.

Let's see what we can do. Come on. Let's go.

You remember, don't you?

Ramo!

Ramo! There's a fire! Hey!

Ramo!

Sinan!

Sinan!

Ah!

Come on, Hurry up! Move it. Let's go, let's go.

What the fuck are you doing?

Sinan, what the fuck do you think you're doing? Are you crazy?

You almost died.

No, just leave me. I don't want you here.

Go. I don't want you here.

What do you mean, "Go"?

What the fuck were you doing in there? What were you doing in there, Sinan?

I don't know.

I just wanted it to be over. Why did you save me anyway?

What do you mean "over"?

What's over? Huh?

I just don't want to be here.

You wouldn't understand anyway.

Never mind.

Make me understand, Sinan.

Tell me. Tell me. You can talk to me.

Tell me!

First...

my family left me.

Then my grandfather.

And now Paris.

I...

I couldn't do it anymore.

I don't want to live in a fucking place

where these assholes get away with everything.

I'm just so tired of it all.

I can't live in a world where the Necdets win

and Işıks lose every time.

I can't.

Look at me.

Look at me, come on.

I can't bring back the things you've lost.

Your grandfather, or Paris...

your family.

I can be your family.

I cando that for you.

I swear to you.

I swear. I swear,

this won't be a world where the Necdets win and the Işıks lose.

I promise you that. I'll make sure of that.

I'll do it for you.

Okay, Sinan? I promise you. Do you hear me?

I'll fuck this world over, I'll turn it upside down for you, Sinan.

I love you.

So don't die on me, asshole!

Don't die on me!

Please don't die.

He would've died.

None of us realized.

Imagine if he was alone that day.

Please stop.

Hey!

What's going on?

- What is that? - Hey, what?

- What is happening? - Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey!

What are they doing?

- What's going on? - What's going on, guys?

It's gonna hit!

- Do you know them? - I have no idea who they are.

- There's been a misunderstanding. - Gentlemen, please answer us.

Kerem.

Oh, fuck!

- Osman? - No way!

Hazelnuts?

Of course.

I'll have some.

- Come on. - Got some for everybody.

- Welcome. - Let's do it.

I'll get more beers.
