Chasing the Wind (2025) Movie Script

CHASING THE WIND
Shall we go?
Like now?
Marry me.
The League of Giants called
for an emergency meeting in ten minutes.
-Are they both here?
-They came at 8:00 in the morning.
-8:00?
-That came as a surprise to me too.
-Are you okay?
-I'm perfect.
You know what, you can handle anything.
-Sure, Asl can handle everything.
-Of course, every house--
-Excuse me, every company needs you.
-Why don't you want one at home?
You'd be exhausted at home.
What are we going to do about your recent
late hour incursions, Ms. Asl?
Just recently?
We'll end up with each other
sooner or later.
Don't you feel the same way?
Who knows?
Dad, Uncle Nazmi, how are you?
Welcome, baby girl.
We are not okay, but I hope we will be.
Cenk, come in, please.
We are in contact
with the Maltese authorities
about getting back the money
that the CFO embezzled.
-Negotiations continue.
-Yes, yes. The talks are on.
Of course, I appreciate your efforts,
but our cash flow is diminishing,
so this could literally be the end of us.
We need to come up
with an urgent solution.
Anyway, as usual, your brother Nazmi
thought of something.
A hotel in eme?
A well-known international chain
wants to build
a massive sports and wellness facility.
They want the entire bay
our company owns in eme.
Thus, solving our cash problem
for one year.
Then I approve.
Let's do whatever is necessary
and get started.
Let's get started,
but there's one more person
we need to convince.
Who? All three of us are here.
Ege Yazc,
who owns 25% of the shares.
My son.
So?
We've never asked Ege's permission
for anything. Why now?
Because we have always talked
through his lawyer so far.
Thankfully, he's never thrown a wrench
in the works.
But the problem is that he's been living
on that land for the last ten years.
-Wasn't he in America?
-Who knows what he's up to.
He was in America. Then he insisted
on settling in eme for a while.
He's all over the place. No goals in life.
A boy who can't stand up
to the realities of life.
Dude, you're flying today.
I'm waiting for you to have a vacancy.
Look how sandy this is. It makes me mad
when they leave it like this.
Forget about the sand.
Why didn't you come in the morning?
I won't lie, I slept in,
but I promise tomorrow.
-Are you okay?
-I'm fine, I'm fine.
The restaurant will be packed.
I know, I'll go soon.
Unfortunately, our future
is in this unpredictable man's hands.
I called him when his lawyer said
he wasn't taking the deal, but in vain.
Classic bohemian, spoiled kid attitude.
Okay. I'll go talk to Ege.
He is not the type to be easily convinced.
Unnecessarily stubborn, a weird mindset.
I'll go and have a face-to-face.
You can be sure that it will only take me
a few hours to convince him.
Okay, well, Cenk should come along.
Yes, yes, I think that would be very nice.
Not necessary at all.
He should take care of things here.
Don't worry, we won't miss
this opportunity, one way or another.
I will sort it out. Trust me.
We have two weeks to find the cash.
I'm going to eme to convince a jerk.
Daddy issues, huh?
What are you? An infant?
Are we sure this guy is real?
He is nowhere to be found.
When you look up "Ege Yazc",
this comes out.
As if we're in a mystical movie
set in the '70s, Asl.
Have you never gone to dinner
with the two bosses and their families?
I don't know, the last time I saw him,
we were kids.
We haven't talked much
since his mother's situation.
There is nothing in the news
about Mr. Ege. No photos either.
I'm frustrated before even meeting him.
Hello. Hello, is this Ege Yazc?
I am Elin Gnay,
Asl Mansoy's assistant.
She requests half an hour of your time
for a meeting soon.
-Tomorrow morning.
-In fact, if possible, tomorrow morning.
I'll be back tomorrow afternoon.
I'll go directly to the company HQ.
Consult that to the lawyers.
You haven't peeled the zucchinis again.
-Welcome, brother.
-Hello.
Yes sir, I have received your reservation
Four people for dinner, no worries.
-It's too hot. What don't you understand?
-No way it will be hot. Oh, God.
Ms. Asl, I made your reservation
at the nearest restaurant, as you wished.
I sent you the location too.
All right. Don't worry, I got it.
I'll take a look as soon as I sit down.
-Welcome. What is your name?
-Asl Mansoy.
Ms. Asl, this way, please.
-Today's specials--
-I would like your fastest meal, please.
Table four says bring me
whatever comes out fastest.
I'll take care of her, you go ahead.
-Enjoy your meal. Anything else?
-No, thank you.
-Welcome.
-Hello.
You're at the best time and place
for stone bass.
With cibes greens
and baked potatoes on the side.
Thanks for the quick service.
I must add, I handpicked it
from the best fishmonger in town.
-Thanks for this information too.
-Just a moment.
This song and this fish
are a perfect match.
-If the ceremony is over, may I eat?
-Sure, please enjoy.
Thank you.
-Is everything all right?
-Thank you.
Please let me know
if you don't like anything.
Excuse me.
What's the matter? Is it a bone?
-Is this a little?
-What?
-It's a bit fishy.
-It's a fish.
I don't know, you could use some marinade,
or oil and salt maybe.
I don't know, you could try
that unique recipe at home maybe.
Enjoy.
Excuse me?
You said cibes greens,
but these are dandelion greens.
What are you doing?
Bravo, no one would know the difference.
-That's not going to feed me.
-What?
I'm so hungry, what am I going to eat?
-We'll figure it out.
-Please.
I think this plate will make you happy.
That's it. Thank you.
If you're desperate for something to eat
or, I don't know, maybe you feel alone
-I'm there.
-All right.
That small kitchen right there.
I won't need anything else,
and I love being alone. Thank you.
Very nice.
Like to try one of our shots?
-Thank you.
-Enjoy.
CENK: WON'T YOU ANSWER? I MISS YOU.
Would you like to have a shot?
Ms. Asl.
Thank you.
-Where are you going? Let's go together.
-No, thank you.
-Why? It'd be fun?
-Get your hands off me!
Whoa, whoa. Yaman, over here.
-Bro, come with me.
-What's going on?
-Let's escort him to the door.
-Why? I'm not new here.
-This is consensual.
-Sorry. This way, please.
Hey! Watch it!
-Oh, calm down.
-What is this?
Easy.
You sound somewhere in between
the Princess of Monaco and a truck driver.
And you are right, by the way.
-Thanks again for your help.
-You're welcome.
Another round?
The last time I got drunk,
nothing good came out of it.
Good, you're drinking then.
I've never seen you here before.
CENK: CALL BEFORE YOU GO TO BED
Are you done?
If you mean the kitchen, it's closed, yes.
Now you will ask me about my life
and I will ask back.
We'll listen to stuff we don't want to,
we're going to talk about
a thousand things we don't want to.
However, you came flying
and performed the necessary heroism.
I did.
-You saved me from the bad guy.
-I did, right.
So, we can move on
to the next stage in our story.
Well, what shall we do?
Let's go.
-Are you sure?
-Very.
Oops.
Aren't you coming?
No, I should go.
We'll meet again anyway.
Okay. It's your call.
-Good night.
-Good night.
Fuck we meet again. Asshole.
Good morning. Ege Yazc called.
He wants to change the meeting location.
Oh, God! I'm on my way.
Where am I supposed to go?
The beach,
he wants to meet at the surf school.
The beach?
-Okay, send me the location.
-Okay, I'll send it right away.
And he thinks we're at his beck and call.
Hang on, Asl, hang on.
Hello. Asl Mansoy,
and I'm here to see Ege Yazc.
-He's surfing, ma'am. I'll check.
-"Ma'am"?
-Hello.
-Hello.
I'm Ege. Ege Yazc.
How come?
Hold on.
Wait, you?
You have all the time you need,
Asl Mansoy.
Did you know who I was?
Well, when I looked you up,
your life and all the details appear.
Isn't that a bit dangerous
for someone in your position?
-May I have coffee?
-Sure.
Try our mastic Turkish coffee, it's good.
-No, I want normal coffee.
-Okay.
You
Now, you knew who I was
and you didn't say a word. Is that normal?
What did I do wrong?
You came to my restaurant.
Then I safely dropped you at your hotel.
-What's wrong with that?
-Wow, you're a real knight, bravo!
I honestly didn't think you
coming to my restaurant was a coincidence.
The only vacant restaurant was yours.
That's why I went there.
Are you open year-long?
-Are you calculating my turnover?
-No.
I'm trying to figure out
how you spend the money we make.
You shouldn't think
too highly of yourself.
You should think highly of those
who provide for your bohemian lifestyle.
I really do.
I'm doing my best to make you
feel comfortable since you arrived,
my dear business partner.
First of all,
I don't have a bohemian lifestyle.
And you do not provide for me,
unfortunately.
All money from the company
sits in a bank account, untouched.
Moreover, the company's situation
is no secret.
Well, here's how we do this.
-Let's start over.
-Please.
-Thank you very much.
-Enjoy.
I think last I saw you when I was five.
Probably.
Frankly, I was quite surprised
to hear you live here.
I find it quite bold,
and I hold a lot of respect for it.
Thanks a lot.
However, Ege, our company of 40 years
is on the brink of bankruptcy.
I kindly request you to approve
the hotel construction on the property.
Please don't overlook the money
you'll make on this deal.
I can talk to the partners
and ensure you get the highest share.
Oh.
-Are you serious right now?
-Yes, I can do that.
Failure to sign will result
in a highly uncertain future for everyone.
Come here for a second. Very briefly.
Look, this is my whole world.
My house is right over there.
This is my school.
Let's put all these aside
Not a big deal after all.
Look around.
See if you can find one tall structure.
If they build more,
they'll block the wind.
Can you understand that?
Yes, but we're already--
Don't waste your energy.
I won't allow
such big destruction of nature.
In order for us to make a deal with you,
the world has to come to an end.
Look, I understand
that you refuse the offer.
I really do.
Consider it like this.
The hotel will have a state-of-the-art
health and sports complex.
We can transfer your complete setup
without any change,
directly into the hotel.
And this whole surfing thing,
you can do it with your team
under a corporate roof.
And we'll put you in charge
of the sports department.
The scenery will change a little, yes.
But the sea will remain the same sea,
the beach will remain the same beach.
So, you have a house,
we won't touch your house.
But if you say, rebuild it,
we'll take care of that too.
Meaning, we won't take any action
without consulting you first.
You sign this.
I'll handle the rest, trust me.
-What do you say?
-I say goodbye.
Oh, you have a visitor, Ege?
The wind is great,
I was wondering if we could go surfing.
Our visitor was on her way back
to where she came from.
And those shoes, perfect choice.
Elin, send me whatever you can find
on Ege's surf school and restaurant.
-Oh, there's a restaurant too?
-Exactly.
Does he owe taxes? His criminal record?
Whatever you can think of.
Give me everything.
We have to find something. Understand?
-Okay.
-Is there anything else?
-Is he handsome?
-Don't be ridiculous! He's a jerk.
I mean, he's not my type.
Are you serious? Hang up, Elin.
Ms. Asl, today--
Today, tomorrow, I'm here
for the next few days, I'll keep the room.
Yes, ma'am.
Uncle Nazmi, your son turned out to be
more stubborn than I thought.
He's aware that we may lose everything
and he didn't want to sign it?
No. Nature, wind, and ecological balance
seem to be more important for him.
-Selfish boy. He was always like that.
-I can come if you need help, Asl.
Everything is under control, don't worry.
I will probably need another week, though.
All right.
Okay. If that's all, I'll hang up.
We'll be in touch.
I stopped by the restaurant.
I had stuff to do.
I'm going to the school now. Is it busy?
Jump in.
You're still here?
I want to take you somewhere.
I have a class, Ms. Asl.
It'll be quick, please.
I have 25 minutes,
and you'll drive me back to school.
Okay, hop in.
-Why did we come here?
-Look at it.
This cove is much bigger than yours.
So?
I talked to the board of directors
and got their approval.
If you approve, too,
your school, the house,
and everybody there,
we will help them move.
This way,
you will get your share of the sale,
and you will also have
this big, beautiful cove.
Don't mind the people there.
They are easy to evacuate
once we have the land privatized.
-Oh, that's great news?
-Right?
Exactly.
Ege, I'm trying
to handle this beautifully.
Make it ugly if you wish.
Will you not consider this idea now?
I'm considering. I considered.
No way, move on.
I really don't understand.
What else do you want?
I'm going to be late for class, let's go.
Good morning.
Good morning.
What's the new offer?
There's no offer this time.
Look, I realized I can't convince you.
I thought I'd take a few days off
since I'm here.
Maybe I'll learn how to surf.
-Asl, look, I'm a very direct person.
-Me too.
Is that so?
I have a very busy life.
Restaurant, surf school, students, etc.
I don't have time for these little games,
believe me.
It would be best if you went home.
Game? There is no game.
I want to learn how to surf.
And I have a few days off.
What part don't you believe?
-Really?
-Really.
And
I want to catch up
with my childhood friend. Is that bad?
You want to learn to surf?
-You want to?
-You really want to?
-I really do.
-Great.
Srma, do you mind?
Asl wants to learn windsurfing.
-Hello.
-Srma is the best teacher around here.
Of course. I'd love to.
I've heard a lot about Ege.
I'd rather learn from him.
Dont get me wrong.
My schedule is full all week.
Nice to meet you, Asl.
Ege!
-Your class?
-My class.
The reservation was for Ms. Esra.
Me or somebody else. Why does it matter?
Same money after all.
Right. Goodbye once again, Asl.
By the way, the sandals look good on you.
Gami, see you.
He's obsessed with me.
See you.
Youre not gonna believe this!
A guy drowning in debt, right?
I know the type like the back of my hand.
He has neither personal
nor corporate debt.
I had him checked for tax debts,
his phone bills, even his Internet bills.
Even the environmental tax. It's all paid.
Come on. No litigation, anything?
-Nope.
-Oh, this is not good.
I thought I'd get him kicked off the beach
due to misuse of the company land.
No, you have to convince this guy nicely.
Okay, we'll be in touch.
Was that Asl?
She's not answering my calls.
What's she up to down there?
-Hello. Is Ege here?
-He's inside, in the kitchen.
Hello. Cibes.
Oh, did you bring us cibes?
How nice of you.
Sorry, I think I dropped it.
I thought I'd bring some.
For you to serve the right stuff.
You're a terribly kind person.
Do you have a crush on me?
You keep showing up.
Excuse me? What makes you think that?
I told you I want to surf,
catch up with my childhood friend.
And how do you respond?
As the CEO of a company going bankrupt,
you make really good use of your time.
Do you work at the restaurant every day?
Are you estimating my profit?
No, I'm trying to establish a dialogue.
What is this you're doing?
Minding your business,
not looking at my face.
What's that? Sexy chef attitude?
I will teach you surfing and I don't like
being in constant communication with you.
How's that for open dialogue?
Are you making the bottarga? Be honest.
I hated the one you sent last time.
Okay, give me tuna, five kilos.
Don't be late. Goodbye.
What's wrong?
I feel terrible, man.
We are officially getting divorced.
The court date has been announced.
We've been talking about this for months.
Didn't you want a divorce too?
Are we going to pretend all that pain
and all the happy moments never happened
and go our separate ways?
Yaman, haven't you been separated
for six months?
Yasemin is my house, my home.
My bond with life.
Yaman, did it just dawn on you, seriously?
I mean, just now!
I didn't think it would be like this.
Enough with the nonsense!
Whatever she tried to do,
you broke her spirit, you let her down,
but when you were down,
she was there for you!
Aren't you my friend?
You have to take my side.
Besides, I never knowingly upset her.
You pick women like you pick apples,
then fake affection, this and that.
Would a man in love let his wife
live in a separate home for months?
Fuck off, for God's sake! Get lost.
Hey! Hold you horses.
-I won't. Fuck off.
-Hey! Shush.
Goes down smooth? Pour me one.
How's the store prep coming along?
Full throttle.
I'm working like crazy, you know.
Ege, I have to sell all the stuff I made.
Or else, bye-bye store.
I have no doubt about it.
I think you'll sell out, it'll be great.
What's the matter with you?
Your eyes give it away. Spill.
Yaman is not all right.
Well, that's not my problem anymore.
I've endured enough.
I am the biggest witness
of how much you love each other, Yasemin.
Don't exaggerate.
That's true, of course.
But you can be sure that Yaman has no idea
how to express his love.
Yasemin, I know how much
this guy loves you. You know too.
His problem is
he's made some mistakes,
he doesn't want you to make the same ones.
It's over for me.
I definitely don't want
a marriage like this.
We are very good friends with Yaman.
We still would be, but that's all.
All right.
I want you to be all right. Both of you.
You know what's best.
Yaso!
Come here, my love.
She is totally right.
What are you doing here?
Were you listening to us?
Well, I can't say I was
because I didn't hear everything.
Unfortunately, just intermittent chatter.
It must be the music.
But from what I was able to hear,
she's quite right.
Women are always right.
I understand now how you can get along
with that old jerk and the rest.
The whole picture is so clear.
Give it to me.
Zero respect, zero feeling, zero empathy.
Aren't you going to teach me how to surf?
Hello, instructor.
If only I could start, I will sort
this surfing thing out in three days.
Sure.
I talked to Yaman, your 9:00 is vacant.
-Me?
-Yes.
No, 9:00 and 10:00 are full.
Eight is early in the morning,
but at 9:00 I have Asl.
-What, me?
-Yes, we have 9:00.
That's right.
It's all right. No problem.
I'll be around long enough.
-Let's see.
-See you then.
But isn't 9:00 too early?
Is it?
Okay.
Ege, I hear Ms. Asl is there.
How is everything?
Good, everything is fine.
She'll be back in a few days.
I'm investigating the details
of this CFO's embezzlement.
Your father, Mr. Nazmi,
he may be up to something,
I sense something bad.
I wouldn't be surprised.
-I'll let you know.
-Okay, bye.
Good morning.
Put that on.
-But it's wet.
-You'll get wet anyway.
-It stinks.
-Come on.
Wait, let me change.
Where are the cabins around here?
I think you understand the equipment
and the logic of this.
As we've been talking about all morning,
it's about being in harmony with the wind.
We need to be calm, nothing else.
-Yes, I think I got it.
-Come on, then.
-Oh, the water is so cold.
-Stop complaining.
I'm not complaining.
I'm just saying the water is cold.
Get on the board. Slow and calm.
We're going to check your balance.
Feel it for yourself.
-Should I get on it?
-Calm, yes.
Great.
It's beautiful. It's amazing.
Let's not hurry.
-I am on it.
-You are on it, bravo.
Now, if you're ready, I'm going to ask you
to pull the uphaul and lift the sail.
Gradually, just like squatting.
You're doing fine.
Great.
-Great?
-Falling overboard is part of the process.
Again.
-Like this?
-Yes. Are you all right?
-I'm fine, I'll do it.
-Up you go.
That's great.
Look, you're good at this part.
Let's continue.
All right. I'm doing this. Look.
I am sure.
-Very nice.
-Yes.
Exactly what I'm asking you.
The forefoot is tense.
You will squat towards the back foot
Both feet parallel.
Wait a minute! Which one was the forefoot?
-The foot in front of the other foot.
-Okay, one second.
Your right hand will be a little tense.
The left is tense,
the other one next to it
The forefoot tense just like that.
Don't hang on to your left arm too much,
let it loose.
-Okay.
-Nice positioning.
-Yes.
-Great. Let's see how you go.
-I'm doing it, really.
-Okay, calm down.
Leave yourself to the wind, don't fight.
-I'm really going, see?
-Yes.
-Tense up, the foot, tense.
-Tense up--
You know what?
You have it in you.
Really?
Exactly.
It looked easy.
You can quit anytime.
No, I will continue.
It was very enjoyable.
Do we need to prepare anything
for the evening?
No, I took care of the drinks.
Yasemin and Gamze
will take care of the snacks.
Where are you going?
We'll watch the sunset on the rocks.
Would you like to come?
No. Thank you.
I don't mix well with strangers.
Oh, but when it comes to us, nag, nag.
Normally, when I snap at people,
they don't snap back.
A formidable way of communicating.
Is that how we should communicate?
That's not what I said.
You're answering back.
It establishes a real dialogue
between us, in my opinion.
Oh, you just praised me now.
Kind of.
Thank you.
You really have great photos.
Is this you, Ege?
-That's me.
-You've really evolved over the years.
How do you know each other?
Our paths crossed during my bankruptcy.
Don't go there, really.
How?
I was an architect.
I owned a construction company.
I had a startup company by the harbor
building tiny houses.
I thought it was a great idea.
Apparently, it wasnt.
There's really no need for sad stories.
No, tell me. I'm curious.
It's not a sad story
it's a saga of heroism.
For crying out loud!
I'm curious, tell me.
When Ege became my partner,
he went ahead
and spoke to all my creditors.
And I put things on track.
So, you're partners.
Nice. What was the name of the company?
-Don't ask.
-Why?
Believe me, I can't stand to hear it.
Don't say it, I'm begging you.
You are exaggerating. What was it?
Nammay. Reverse of Yaman but with two M's.
There are two M's in the logo.
In the form of a tiny house.
Excuse me.
What kind of a company name is that?
Like nay-nay.
He found the company and named it Nammay.
How could you become a partner?
You should have suggested another name.
Is it that bad?
-Yes.
-Yes.
Hello, Elcin?
I think I found something.
Ege is a partner in a construction company
called Nammay.
-Nammay?
-Yes.
According to our company's
founding charter, that's forbidden.
He needs permission from the directors,
but I don't remember anything like that.
I'll have the company records
checked immediately.
If this is true, we can dismiss him
from the board of directors.
If this is how we solve this issue,
it will be our party.
Absolutely.
-Exactly. Cut those.
-It's done.
All right.
-Welcome.
-Hello.
Come.
Such a beautiful place.
I realized that I haven't taken a vacation
in a very long time.
What does that mean?
Skiing in Courchevel, birthday in Mykonos,
weddings in Tuscany? None?
Business in London, business in Dubai,
business in Istanbul. All business.
Such a pity. Come here.
Asl.
-I'm Asl.
-Hello.
She is the CEO of our company in Istanbul.
I'm Yasemin.
I know you.
I saw you at the bar yesterday.
I know you. I already know you.
-And I am Gamze, welcome.
-Thank you.
Kind of a stalker. Don't mind her.
Sir.
The real stalker has arrived.
Sir.
Sir, I saw you
and thought I'd stop by. Hello.
How did you find this place?
I think it's nice.
-You think it's nice. Great.
-Good.
The wind is great, perfect for surfing.
-Sinan, by the way.
-I know him too.
So, Asl,
when are you going back to Istanbul?
I'll be around for a few days more.
Wonderful.
-All right then.
-So, beer, wine?
-Wine will do.
-Wine.
Do you want something to eat?
Grapes are wonderful.
No, wine is enough.
We have great cherries, actually.
We get it from my neighborhood.
Who wants cherries?
-It's from our greengrocer.
-Thanks.
Who's got the music?
Yes, Yaman.
-Go ahead then.
-Come on.
Asl, welcome.
-Hold on.
-It's okay. Enjoy.
-Welcome, Asl.
-Welcome.
Welcome to the group
and welcome to our spot.
-We were just cutting something.
-All right.
Have you started the lessons?
I think it went well,
but you have to ask Ege.
I can't do it at all.
-Is Ege your instructor?
-Yes.
The sun is setting.
Pick up three pebbles, Asl.
We pick up three pebbles.
We throw them into the sea
just as the sun sets.
Then we make a wish.
Wait, not now. Just as it sets.
Now.
And we don't tell anyone our wishes
or they won't come true.
I'm going to shout out loud.
I just want to keep my shop.
I wanna sell everything I've been making
for months at the opening.
-Do you need to sell something?
-Yes.
I'll take care of it.
We have no doubt about that.
Asl, did you pay attention
to what you wished for?
See?
Where's my wine?
I'm so sorry.
-And her phone does not stop ringing.
-She is a CEO.
-Hello.
-Hello, my queen bingo.
If this is a legal partnership,
Ege loses his right to vote
in the board of directors.
I looked up Nammay's trade registry
but it did not appear in the system.
Send me the full name of the company
and other documents you can find.
I will look into that.
But Elcin, look.
Don't say anything to anyone
until you're absolutely sure.
You know this is no joke.
Okay. Don't worry, boss.
Sorry again.
Come on, grab a drink.
Welcome, Asl.
-Welcome, Asl.
-Hello.
-Welcome, Asl.
-Hello.
-Is that all right?
-Well, I don't know.
-Hi.
-Hello.
Efe, when did you arrive?
I didn't see you.
-How are you?
-I'm fine, thanks. You?
-Wonderful.
-Perfect.
Sir, and a swimsuit?
I picked this swimsuit.
-How do you like it?
-Great.
-Exactly.
-And flexible.
What are you doing there?
I was going to swim. I got carried away.
What is the deal with Yasemin and Yaman?
I see them together, then separated?
There seems to be an attraction
between them. Are they lovers?
No, they're married.
What, they're married?
-But they're about to get divorced.
-What?
So how do you hang out together like this?
Our friendship goes way back.
Should we not see each other?
I don't know, share the friends.
They are getting divorced nicely.
Maybe we shouldn't get involved.
You are right,
being civilized is a beautiful thing.
But let me tell you.
All Yasemin needs is a small step.
A little support.
When did you get this insight?
I heard you talking.
That's when I understood.
While stalking.
-Oh, come on.
-Right.
Will you excuse me?
Of course.
Where? The restaurant?
I have a friend
who makes wine for the restaurant.
-I will see him, in Urla.
-Urla?
Nice.
-Come with me.
-Okay, I'll come.
Sure, come on.
I've never been there. I'd like to see it.
I see, nice.
Are we riding this?
-Why? Don't you like it?
-That's not why.
Does this even run?
Hop on. It runs.
Hold on.
-Ylmaz?
-Ege.
The more we look into it,
the deeper it gets.
It doesn't seem to be completely
Asl's fault.
I'll call you back when it's all clear.
Would you consider
suing the board if necessary?
Brother, you know me.
Get to the bottom of it,
but do not act without my knowledge.
-All right?
-All right, as you wish.
Okay.
It's hot!
Doesn't this have air conditioning?
I will turn the ignition on now.
There's a button on the side.
When you press it, it will blow.
Exactly.
I swear our brains
will melt into the asphalt.
You're such a road buddy.
What? It's hot?
Why are you listening to nostalgic music
like an old man?
What's wrong? It's good music.
What music do you like?
I don't know. I have no particular taste.
I mean, I don't listen to music much.
Congratulations.
You're the first person I know
who doesn't listen to music. Bravo.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
What a joyful life.
This one is not bad, though.
-Do you like it?
-I like it.
Good. Good for all of us.
Nice.
May I show you something
you didn't know you had?
It's on our way.
What is it?
All right, let's go.
You'll like it, don't worry.
Is this really ours?
Yes, a plot of land
that belongs to the company.
I had no idea.
Come.
Are all these mastic trees?
All those trees are mastic trees.
Have you eaten any before?
No, I haven't. Is it edible?
It could be called edible.
You chew it, actually.
Don't eat it. Insecticides can kill you.
Oh, for God's sake, open your mouth.
Open up.
How do you like it?
Incredibly good.
Right?
-Sticky.
-It goes away when you lick it, come.
-It's not going away.
-It will.
-What a beautiful place.
-Isn't it?
They have been trying really hard
for years now.
Ferru.
My Ege.
What's up, sweetheart?
I'm fine. Welcome. Welcome both of you.
-Asl, Ferru.
-Nice to meet you.
Hello, very nice to meet you.
He's never brought a girlfriend before.
No, no, I'm not his girlfriend.
Our partner Arif's daughter.
Arif's daughter.
-Do you know him?
-Of course.
Where's Uncle Korkmaz?
His business in Izmir is running late,
but he'll be here soon.
Come, have a seat.
He'll be upset if he doesn't see you.
We won't bother you at all, I--
I'll prepare something right away.
Come on.
All right.
Has the irrigation problem
in the vineyards been solved?
Don't ask.
Korkmaz worked so hard day and night,
but we finally got it done.
-Thank God.
-Great. I'm very happy for you.
How do you like our wine, Asl?
It's really good.
Enjoy.
What are you doing?
Eat it whole.
I can't eat like that.
Who eats figs like that?
Here, hold it like this.
Just like this.
I told you, I can't.
Let her be.
Let her eat it the way she likes.
All right, I didn't say anything.
She can eat it however she wants.
Let her eat.
You know what, Asl?
Ege was almost born into my hands.
His mommy gave birth to him for me. Right?
I guess the wines in that box are mine.
The ones in the back?
Yes, your Uncle Korkmaz
reserved them for you.
I'll load them in the car.
Come, let's visit the vineyards.
-Okay, sure.
-Come.
Ege's mother, Figen,
she was my best friend.
My unfortunate friend.
She was very ill in her final days.
Is that what you're talking about?
I think it would be more accurate to say
she withered away
and died in Nazmi's prison.
How come?
Figen was a very beautiful woman.
Very talented.
She had a great voice.
The world admired her,
and she fell in love with Nazmi.
They got married, the bans started.
What bans?
He stopped her from singing,
prevented her from recording,
he cut her off from life.
Because he could not cope with her wealth,
or with her beauty,
or with her talent.
Oh, my dear Figen.
Well, what could she do?
The songs she couldn't sing to anyone,
she would sing them to Ege.
They had a strong bond as mother and son.
But that wasn't enough for Mr. Nazmi.
He took the child from her at a young age,
sent him abroad.
Uncle Nazmi did all that?
Yes, Uncle Nazmi.
Oh, I
Ege will skin me alive
for telling you all this.
But I don't know if it's old age or what.
I don't want to keep it inside me.
I want to tell you everything.
I want everyone to hear the story.
Bless her soul.
She would have wanted me to.
What are you doing?
Uncle Korkmaz is here.
-How are you, son?
-I'm fine, Uncle Korkmaz, welcome.
-Korkmaz.
-Uncle Korkmaz.
-Whoa. Are you okay?
-What happened, Ege?
Get me some water.
It must be the hot weather, I guess.
-I'll bring it right away.
-Uncle Korkmaz.
His pulse is starting to drop.
All right, it's over.
You're tough as nails.
You'll be all right.
Korkmaz, isn't sugar off-limits for you,
for goodness' sake?
You finished a whole box in the car!
Oh, my.
Forget about that.
Who is this beautiful girl?
All right, he's definitely awake.
Yes, I am. Who is this beautiful girl?
Your girlfriend?
I asked him that too.
Unfortunately, she isn't, dear.
Son, are you crazy?
Why are you not with this girl?
By the way, I'm Korkmaz.
Asl. Nice to meet you too.
Nice to meet you.
-How is he?
-He's already asleep.
Good then.
Guys, can I ask you something?
Can you stay tonight?
If something happens to him at night,
I don't want to be alone.
Besides, it's already late for you.
Of course, if you say so. Ege?
-I mean, if you're okay with it, I'm fine.
-Sure.
-All right.
-Thank you so much.
Come then.
I'll give you a clean nightgown.
You're not going to sleep there. Are you?
Where else am I going to sleep?
-Aren't you going to give me the bed?
-Where am I going to sleep?
Where am I going to sleep?
Ask the front desk
if there are any vacancies.
Asl, for God's sake, come and sleep here.
Don't be ridiculous, Ege.
I'll sleep on the couch outside.
Well, it is snake season,
but it's up to you.
Snake?
There is no snake.
You're in a vineyard, Asl.
There are all kinds of centipedes
and reptiles here.
I'm going to bed, enjoy yourself.
Ege.
Ege.
I'm cold.
What am I supposed to do?
Give me the blanket maybe.
Here.
Go to sleep.
Thank you so much.
Take care of yourself.
If something happens call me, okay?
He's telling you,
you won't eat candy anymore.
Glad to meet you, goodbye.
Us too, Asl my dear. Come again.
Goodbye.
Okay, bye-bye.
I stink.
I have to go to a hammam
and get a proper scrub.
I have a better idea.
-Trust me.
-Okay.
What?
-Are we going to jump?
-What do you think?
Don't let those rocks scare you.
It's not as high as it looks.
I will jump first.
You will jump where I jump, okay?
After that, there will be no problem.
One gets scared at first glance.
Of course, it's very normal.
And after the first jump,
you will love it,
you'll want to jump again.
This side? This side?
Here's what we'll do.
See those rocks, forget them.
We'll jump this way.
Just be calm. As I said, I'll jump first.
You'll jump where I jump, okay?
It'll be fine.
You'll have a lot of fun.
We used to come when we were kids.
Of course, at first we'd be terrified,
but then
Asl!
Are you coming?
All right!
I had a lovely day. Thank you.
Very beautiful.
I mean, everything was beautiful.
-We'll see each other at surfing.
-Yes, we will.
We will.
-See you.
-See you.
Didn't you miss your, Cenk?
This is some surprise.
Is something wrong?
I actually came here to ask you
if something's wrong.
You don't answer my calls,
you don't answer my e-mails.
Road trips with that guy and all that.
Are you spying on us?
No, I came here to see you.
But when I witnessed the intense scene
in front of the hotel,
I thought I shouldn't interrupt.
Oh God!
Could it be frustration
and exhaustion, Cenk?
Asl, look, I don't buy this act.
I know exactly what I saw back there.
I just got in his car, that's all.
Besides, what did you see?
What are you suggesting?
What did you see?
You're obviously attracted to that guy.
Is it true? Say it.
I'm running out of options here
to find his weakness.
Can you hear yourself?
I am trying to save the company here.
Do you have any idea
what I've been through?
I'm sorry.
-You know how attached I am to you.
-All right.
When I saw you two together
Okay, it's okay.
Why are you here?
Cenk, look, they will see us,
they will get suspicious.
I had a meeting in Izmir
and there is dinner in the evening.
I thought I'd see you.
I was worried
when you didn't answer my calls.
What time is your dinner?
I have to be in Izmir in an hour.
Okay then, here is what we do.
Go to your dinner. Don't be late.
I'll talk to you later, okay?
Fine.
Go.
See you then.
Answer my calls. I'm worried about you.
All right, we'll talk.
Yes. You're the best!
Great, keep your forefoot tense.
And the arm.
Yes, just like that.
You're doing great, keep it up!
-Great!
-I'm doing it!
Yes!
Done!
I still have a lot to learn about surfing,
but I think I should go now.
You seem to have gotten used
to this place.
I'll be back to my default settings
in a couple of days.
Of course you will.
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to stop by Yasemin's.
Ege.
I have to ask one last time.
If you don't let them,
they will declare war on you.
And you run the risk of losing this cove.
You know that, right?
Don 't worry about me,
I'll take care of myself.
I know, that's not why I said so.
I'm beginning to understand
how you really feel.
But there are facts.
Surely.
I wish I could see a way
for our mutual demise or a way out.
I wish you could understand
that I really don't care about it at all.
All right.
I wanted to ask you for the last time.
Hold on!
I'll tell you something.
This cannot be how this story ends.
Are you busy tonight?
No.
Come over, I'll cook for you.
All right, I'll be there.
I'm not very good
in the kitchen, you know.
No worries.
You're quite good at sales, marketing,
and at environmental destruction.
I will miss these responses.
And you were great, by the way.
-Right. I'm doing this.
-You truly were great.
Asl, I'm still in shock.
How did you make it so easy for me
to sell stuff on this website?
I've been on the waiting list
for months, you know?
I didn't do anything. A phone call or two
and it worked, that's all.
How did you set up this infrastructure?
I got support from the company,
I couldn't do that alone.
I mean, all dreams I had for this shop,
you made it happen in two days.
You are so talented. I didn't do anything.
Besides, now you have the ball.
Thank you.
-It's very nice, by the way.
-Even I want to shop. Thank you.
Ege.
What's up? Welcome. Come.
Hello.
-This is for you.
-Flowers for me?
Wonderful.
Where should we put it?
Right there.
-Great.
-And this is also for you.
Oh, gifts. You didn't have to.
I thought this song
accompany this dish perfectly.
And it's the first press vinyl.
Where did you get this, really?
I have my ways.
You know what, this is the best gift ever.
I'll play it right away.
Great.
The menu is as follows.
Hummus, halloumi cheese with honey.
-Wonderful!
-Stuffed artichokes.
Cibes with balsamic, you like cibes.
Steak with potato, truffles sauce.
Who will eat all these?
We'll nibble from each dish, talk a lot.
-Good.
-Please, come here.
I prepared wonderful things,
you will love them all.
I am sure of it.
As partners in the same company,
are we finally having
a decent meal together?
Sure.
Rak?
Rak will do.
I don't eat sugar, but thanks.
Oh, it's not sugar, it's ice cream.
Remember the mastic tree field
we visited together?
I made this from the mastic from there.
Have some.
I can't say no.
What is this, Ege?
No, what is this?
Well, now
was being a CEO your childhood dream?
Was it my dream?
I don't know.
I grew up with my father.
At the office, in meetings, I was around.
Here is the real story.
When I was five years old,
my mother had fallen in love with a man,
so she left.
And she
built a whole new life without me in it.
We were alone, me and my father.
Then I didn't question much.
What would he like?
What would make him happy?
You seem to have accepted it.
Well, what else could I do?
I mean, rather than dwelling on it
and getting tired in the end,
you accept it and move on
like everything else.
I'll be honest, reaching this point
was a lengthy process for me.
But I can say that I'm fine now.
I dont have feelings for her.
Neither good nor bad, nothing.
Ever get the urge to get away
from Istanbul every now and then?
Yes. I'm frustrated.
Quite a bit.
The worst thing is,
until I set foot here,
I was wondering why I was unhappy,
thinking I had everything.
I didn't even know what I wanted.
I'm talking too much, enough already.
-Let me ask you something.
-Go ahead.
Have you ever considered
getting married and starting a family?
No.
Me neither.
Why are we like this?
Well
we're both products
of unhappy relationships.
We didn't see any good in it.
People want what they see.
This is really incredible.
I mean, incredible.
I told you, there is more, don't worry.
Eat as much as you can.
Something happened to me here.
I don't know what, but something happened.
Found yourself?
It's more like I lost myself.
I'd better go.
Thank you for everything.
Oh, so sudden.
No, no way.
We had too much to drink.
I cannot let you drive.
I have to go, pack up,
check out of the hotel.
I have a flight at 8:00 in the morning.
Eight? Quite a statement.
It is pretty early by the way.
But there's a room back there.
If you'd like
you'll leave having slept well.
Eight is very early, I could miss it.
I will go to the office from there.
I can't insist,
but if it were me, I'd do the same.
What happened?
The plane I was supposed to be on
just took off.
I think if you had decided to leave
at some point yesterday,
I was going to run after the car.
Would you?
Well, I'll look for my slippers.
You know you can't run barefoot.
You could come barefoot.
So
when are we going to enjoy
the breakfast expertise of our chef?
Nice tactic. Chef this, chef that.
-Chef, chef.
-Exactly. You made me do the job, bravo.
Why? You could whip up an omelet
with that sexy chef attitude of yours.
Omelet? Who would have thought?
Omelet for breakfast, great choice.
Well, then, let me get up.
Come on. I'm so hungry.
I'll make an omelet.
Join me at some point.
-We'll see.
-I'll miss you.
Elcin, you need to stop
everything immediately.
We're keeping Ege Yazc's information
to ourselves.
Why? All the documents are ready.
I have everything on Nammay Construction.
It's only a matter of time
before we dismiss Ege.
Besides, why haven't you returned yet?
Everyone is asking about you,
I don't know what to tell them.
Stand down. Don't share any information
with anyone, understand?
I have to go now.
Are you in love?
Hello? Asl?
-What did you cook?
-It's ready.
-Aren't you hungry?
-I'm hungry.
Come on, then. Come.
Look how excited she is, my darling.
Thank you for your work, it's very nice.
Thank you.
I will become a jealous man,
what a beauty.
-Don't exaggerate.
-But you are.
-Welcome.
-What's up?
Very good, I'm very excited.
Without Asl's support,
it would be very difficult.
What did I do? A gentle push, that's all.
-Such a wonderful girl.
-She is.
I'll make a speech and come back.
First of all, welcome.
We're gathered here
for this unique artist's exhibit.
I witnessed firsthand how much effort
she put into each piece here.
All these works of art,
which convey her whole world,
will surely find the place they deserve
in your lives and hearts.
A big round of applause for Yaso
before her speech!
I always want you to shine.
I really love you.
Although I know I couldn't show it,
it's the truth.
Please give me one last chance.
It took me a long time to realize
how ridiculous I've acted.
But I got it.
I just want one last chance from you
so that I can show it to you.
-All right.
-I'm begging, Yasemin.
-What? All right?
-All right.
All right, Yaman. Let's give it a try.
-All right?
-All right.
Bravo!
-They're so sweet.
-Yes, yes.
To all artwork you sold.
-Bravo.
-Bravo.
I still can't believe it.
I always knew you'd succeed,
no doubt about it.
Look at you!
You believed in my success?
I am his witness.
-Yes.
-Actually, I am his greatest witness.
Guys, shall we give them all
a round of applause first?
-Yes, let's do it.
-Please, bravo.
-Bravo, for real.
-Bravo.
As far as I understand,
this bunch is the best
in celebrating fake achievements.
What's the matter? Who are you?
Mr. Cenk is one of our company lawyers,
I guess he's got something to tell me.
Would you please come with me?
Another one of Ms. Asl's implicit lies.
I'm not just one of the company's lawyers.
I am also
Cenk.
I am Ms. Asl's lover.
-You're not my lover or anything!
-Is that so? What am I to you then?
Stop ruining our night.
Will you please leave?
-Please leave. Leave!
-Of course I will.
But I'll take you with me.
What are you talking about?
-Wait a second, hey!
-Ege, please. Ege, I got this.
-All right, one moment.
-All right, calm down.
You're seriously amazing
for welcoming this woman with open arms.
While you are busy
having such sweet little celebrations,
you lost your vote
in the board of directors.
What are you talking about?
A meeting will be held on Monday.
And Asl, Mr. Nazmi,
and Mr. Arif will sign.
And the next day,
the foundation piles will be driven
into your famous beach
for the hotel's construction.
There is no such thing,
there is no such meeting.
-What nonsense are you talking about?
-I am talking nonsense?
Let's assume I'm talking nonsense,
and you don't believe me.
Here are the documents.
Your surf cove,
the right of use now lies directly
with the board of directors.
Since Ege became a partner
in Yaman's construction company,
he lost his vote in our company.
Who do you think passed
this valuable information on to us?
The images taken by Asl
from Yaman's computer.
Look, she took them herself.
-Look.
-Ege.
I just
-Thanks.
-Ege.
Ege, please listen to me, I just
Ege, will you listen to me? Ege!
Just listen. Please let me explain myself.
All right, yes, I tried to find
your weakness in the beginning.
I sent what I found
to my assistant, I did.
But that was all.
I swear to you,
I quickly scrapped everything.
Everything. Please trust me, please.
You've pulled me back into things
I was trying to avoid.
Asl, leave. Go and don't come back.
Asl, I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say.
I still can't believe how Cenk
got a hold of all this.
There's nothing to do, it's my fault too.
I'll see you back in Istanbul.
I can't believe I'm seeing you like this.
I wish you'd insisted, not let him go.
I've done so much behind his back.
I don't have the courage.
What if you called him
and told him about your feelings?
I called him. He's not returning my calls
or my messages.
How did I screw up something so amazing?
Ege.
Yilmaz.
You're here to see the cove one last time?
That's why I wanted to talk face-to-face.
We can take the cove back, Ege.
What does that mean?
Remember I told you I sense something bad.
I wasn't wrong.
-Sit down and tell me all about it.
-Come.
Now.
Nazmi was embezzling
a lot of money to Malta.
Yes, everything is ready.
Now we can have your signatures.
Yes, let's do it.
Mr. Nazmi, let's start with you.
Please.
-I hope it will be beneficial for all.
-Amen.
I hope it will be beneficial
for all of us too.
Thank you.
Ms. Asl.
I will not sign it.
What nonsense
is your daughter talking about?
-Watch your language with me.
-Hold on a minute.
I'm not signing these documents.
What will happen will happen.
Baby girl.
When you come to your senses,
everything we have will be gone.
Are you aware of that?
Dad, we never had anything real
we can lose.
What does that mean, baby girl?
Ege.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Arif, Mr. Nazmi, hello.
It will take a while, so please sit down.
How did you get in? Who let you in?
Twelve years and this is what you say,
and you call this man the boss.
You're being rude.
You have no shame. Do you?
I'm not ashamed at all.
Because of what you did to a woman
years ago,
I swore not to step foot in this company.
Now, a completely different woman
made me break this oath.
I was sure I would never break my promise
until two weeks ago.
You just can't think of everything.
In the meantime,
you've dismissed me from the company.
With your signature, Cenk.
Congratulations.
You like paperwork.
I'm calling security now.
Don't bother, I called them,
they're on their way.
Someone gave the CFO
the power to sign, which doesn't exist,
and have become partners in establishing
a front company oversees.
And as if that's not enough,
he's used Asl as bait.
What do you mean?
Your money, actually our money,
is in the hands of a company which belongs
to Mr. Nazmi, Cenk, and the CFO.
No, no, wait a minute.
What is this, Nazmi?
He is making it up, I can explain.
Don't bother.
If you check the documents,
it's all very clear.
-Asl
-Give me that!
To help the company
out of this debt burden,
I'm transferring the money
I haven't touched for 15 years to you.
You really haven't touched that money?
God, I told you thousand times. I didn't.
Yes, my offer is very simple.
Without causing harm to nature
through controversial initiatives,
you will solve your cash problems
using my money.
The power to sign
and majority of the shares
will remain with Asl.
Do you know what you're talking about?
What are you after?
What do you want for yourself? What--
Nazmi, enough!
First of all,
I really don't want to come here again.
Also, you'll transfer all rights
to the property in eme to me.
This is ridiculous.
You're ridiculous
if you think I'd give up so easily.
You must be out of your mind.
I think all is clear here.
Good day.
You're just like your mother.
Yes, exactly.
-What a disgrace!
-Calm down just a second.
-No, no.
-What a disgrace!
I am a person of the law.
What are you going to explain?
You went behind our backs!
-You did it.
-Calm down.
-It's all here, with proof.
-Just a second.
Nazmi, how dare you double-cross me
and my daughter.
-There is no such thing.
-How could you dump years of dedication?
Welcome. My friend
will take care of you immediately.
Hello, thank you.
Welcome. Your table is ready.
Bro.
Table four says to bring her
whatever comes out fastest.
Now you will ask me
about my life and I will ask back.
We'll listen to stuff we don't want to.
We're gonna talk about a thousand things
we don't want to.
However, you came here
and did what you had to do.
I did.
Then I think
we can move on
to the next stage in our story.
Sir.
Sinan.
Sir, I didn't want to tell you
and break your heart but
I decided to quit surfing.
No way.
-Unfortunately.
-Why?
In surfing,
I have reached a certain point.
I'm satisfied.
-It's true.
-But don't worry, I'll be around.
-Apparently.
-See you then.
Asl, what are you doing? Where are you?
Are you still at the beach?
When are you really coming back?
I must organize all my meetings
to suit your schedule.
I don't know.
Looks like I'll be around for a while.
Oh, but look, there are documents
you need to sign
CHASING THE WIND
Shall we go?
Like now?
Marry me.
The League of Giants called
for an emergency meeting in ten minutes.
-Are they both here?
-They came at 8:00 in the morning.
-8:00?
-That came as a surprise to me too.
-Are you okay?
-I'm perfect.
You know what, you can handle anything.
-Sure, Asl can handle everything.
-Of course, every house--
-Excuse me, every company needs you.
-Why don't you want one at home?
You'd be exhausted at home.
What are we going to do about your recent
late hour incursions, Ms. Asl?
Just recently?
We'll end up with each other
sooner or later.
Don't you feel the same way?
Who knows?
Dad, Uncle Nazmi, how are you?
Welcome, baby girl.
We are not okay, but I hope we will be.
Cenk, come in, please.
We are in contact
with the Maltese authorities
about getting back the money
that the CFO embezzled.
-Negotiations continue.
-Yes, yes. The talks are on.
Of course, I appreciate your efforts,
but our cash flow is diminishing,
so this could literally be the end of us.
We need to come up
with an urgent solution.
Anyway, as usual, your brother Nazmi
thought of something.
A hotel in eme?
A well-known international chain
wants to build
a massive sports and wellness facility.
They want the entire bay
our company owns in eme.
Thus, solving our cash problem
for one year.
Then I approve.
Let's do whatever is necessary
and get started.
Let's get started,
but there's one more person
we need to convince.
Who? All three of us are here.
Ege Yazc,
who owns 25% of the shares.
My son.
So?
We've never asked Ege's permission
for anything. Why now?
Because we have always talked
through his lawyer so far.
Thankfully, he's never thrown a wrench
in the works.
But the problem is that he's been living
on that land for the last ten years.
-Wasn't he in America?
-Who knows what he's up to.
He was in America. Then he insisted
on settling in eme for a while.
He's all over the place. No goals in life.
A boy who can't stand up
to the realities of life.
Dude, you're flying today.
I'm waiting for you to have a vacancy.
Look how sandy this is. It makes me mad
when they leave it like this.
Forget about the sand.
Why didn't you come in the morning?
I won't lie, I slept in,
but I promise tomorrow.
-Are you okay?
-I'm fine, I'm fine.
The restaurant will be packed.
I know, I'll go soon.
Unfortunately, our future
is in this unpredictable man's hands.
I called him when his lawyer said
he wasn't taking the deal, but in vain.
Classic bohemian, spoiled kid attitude.
Okay. I'll go talk to Ege.
He is not the type to be easily convinced.
Unnecessarily stubborn, a weird mindset.
I'll go and have a face-to-face.
You can be sure that it will only take me
a few hours to convince him.
Okay, well, Cenk should come along.
Yes, yes, I think that would be very nice.
Not necessary at all.
He should take care of things here.
Don't worry, we won't miss
this opportunity, one way or another.
I will sort it out. Trust me.
We have two weeks to find the cash.
I'm going to eme to convince a jerk.
Daddy issues, huh?
What are you? An infant?
Are we sure this guy is real?
He is nowhere to be found.
When you look up "Ege Yazc",
this comes out.
As if we're in a mystical movie
set in the '70s, Asl.
Have you never gone to dinner
with the two bosses and their families?
I don't know, the last time I saw him,
we were kids.
We haven't talked much
since his mother's situation.
There is nothing in the news
about Mr. Ege. No photos either.
I'm frustrated before even meeting him.
Hello. Hello, is this Ege Yazc?
I am Elin Gnay,
Asl Mansoy's assistant.
She requests half an hour of your time
for a meeting soon.
-Tomorrow morning.
-In fact, if possible, tomorrow morning.
I'll be back tomorrow afternoon.
I'll go directly to the company HQ.
Consult that to the lawyers.
You haven't peeled the zucchinis again.
-Welcome, brother.
-Hello.
Yes sir, I have received your reservation
Four people for dinner, no worries.
-It's too hot. What don't you understand?
-No way it will be hot. Oh, God.
Ms. Asl, I made your reservation
at the nearest restaurant, as you wished.
I sent you the location too.
All right. Don't worry, I got it.
I'll take a look as soon as I sit down.
-Welcome. What is your name?
-Asl Mansoy.
Ms. Asl, this way, please.
-Today's specials--
-I would like your fastest meal, please.
Table four says bring me
whatever comes out fastest.
I'll take care of her, you go ahead.
-Enjoy your meal. Anything else?
-No, thank you.
-Welcome.
-Hello.
You're at the best time and place
for stone bass.
With cibes greens
and baked potatoes on the side.
Thanks for the quick service.
I must add, I handpicked it
from the best fishmonger in town.
-Thanks for this information too.
-Just a moment.
This song and this fish
are a perfect match.
-If the ceremony is over, may I eat?
-Sure, please enjoy.
Thank you.
-Is everything all right?
-Thank you.
Please let me know
if you don't like anything.
Excuse me.
What's the matter? Is it a bone?
-Is this a little?
-What?
-It's a bit fishy.
-It's a fish.
I don't know, you could use some marinade,
or oil and salt maybe.
I don't know, you could try
that unique recipe at home maybe.
Enjoy.
Excuse me?
You said cibes greens,
but these are dandelion greens.
What are you doing?
Bravo, no one would know the difference.
-That's not going to feed me.
-What?
I'm so hungry, what am I going to eat?
-We'll figure it out.
-Please.
I think this plate will make you happy.
That's it. Thank you.
If you're desperate for something to eat
or, I don't know, maybe you feel alone
-I'm there.
-All right.
That small kitchen right there.
I won't need anything else,
and I love being alone. Thank you.
Very nice.
Like to try one of our shots?
-Thank you.
-Enjoy.
CENK: WON'T YOU ANSWER? I MISS YOU.
Would you like to have a shot?
Ms. Asl.
Thank you.
-Where are you going? Let's go together.
-No, thank you.
-Why? It'd be fun?
-Get your hands off me!
Whoa, whoa. Yaman, over here.
-Bro, come with me.
-What's going on?
-Let's escort him to the door.
-Why? I'm not new here.
-This is consensual.
-Sorry. This way, please.
Hey! Watch it!
-Oh, calm down.
-What is this?
Easy.
You sound somewhere in between
the Princess of Monaco and a truck driver.
And you are right, by the way.
-Thanks again for your help.
-You're welcome.
Another round?
The last time I got drunk,
nothing good came out of it.
Good, you're drinking then.
I've never seen you here before.
CENK: CALL BEFORE YOU GO TO BED
Are you done?
If you mean the kitchen, it's closed, yes.
Now you will ask me about my life
and I will ask back.
We'll listen to stuff we don't want to,
we're going to talk about
a thousand things we don't want to.
However, you came flying
and performed the necessary heroism.
I did.
-You saved me from the bad guy.
-I did, right.
So, we can move on
to the next stage in our story.
Well, what shall we do?
Let's go.
-Are you sure?
-Very.
Oops.
Aren't you coming?
No, I should go.
We'll meet again anyway.
Okay. It's your call.
-Good night.
-Good night.
Fuck we meet again. Asshole.
Good morning. Ege Yazc called.
He wants to change the meeting location.
Oh, God! I'm on my way.
Where am I supposed to go?
The beach,
he wants to meet at the surf school.
The beach?
-Okay, send me the location.
-Okay, I'll send it right away.
And he thinks we're at his beck and call.
Hang on, Asl, hang on.
Hello. Asl Mansoy,
and I'm here to see Ege Yazc.
-He's surfing, ma'am. I'll check.
-"Ma'am"?
-Hello.
-Hello.
I'm Ege. Ege Yazc.
How come?
Hold on.
Wait, you?
You have all the time you need,
Asl Mansoy.
Did you know who I was?
Well, when I looked you up,
your life and all the details appear.
Isn't that a bit dangerous
for someone in your position?
-May I have coffee?
-Sure.
Try our mastic Turkish coffee, it's good.
-No, I want normal coffee.
-Okay.
You
Now, you knew who I was
and you didn't say a word. Is that normal?
What did I do wrong?
You came to my restaurant.
Then I safely dropped you at your hotel.
-What's wrong with that?
-Wow, you're a real knight, bravo!
I honestly didn't think you
coming to my restaurant was a coincidence.
The only vacant restaurant was yours.
That's why I went there.
Are you open year-long?
-Are you calculating my turnover?
-No.
I'm trying to figure out
how you spend the money we make.
You shouldn't think
too highly of yourself.
You should think highly of those
who provide for your bohemian lifestyle.
I really do.
I'm doing my best to make you
feel comfortable since you arrived,
my dear business partner.
First of all,
I don't have a bohemian lifestyle.
And you do not provide for me,
unfortunately.
All money from the company
sits in a bank account, untouched.
Moreover, the company's situation
is no secret.
Well, here's how we do this.
-Let's start over.
-Please.
-Thank you very much.
-Enjoy.
I think last I saw you when I was five.
Probably.
Frankly, I was quite surprised
to hear you live here.
I find it quite bold,
and I hold a lot of respect for it.
Thanks a lot.
However, Ege, our company of 40 years
is on the brink of bankruptcy.
I kindly request you to approve
the hotel construction on the property.
Please don't overlook the money
you'll make on this deal.
I can talk to the partners
and ensure you get the highest share.
Oh.
-Are you serious right now?
-Yes, I can do that.
Failure to sign will result
in a highly uncertain future for everyone.
Come here for a second. Very briefly.
Look, this is my whole world.
My house is right over there.
This is my school.
Let's put all these aside
Not a big deal after all.
Look around.
See if you can find one tall structure.
If they build more,
they'll block the wind.
Can you understand that?
Yes, but we're already--
Don't waste your energy.
I won't allow
such big destruction of nature.
In order for us to make a deal with you,
the world has to come to an end.
Look, I understand
that you refuse the offer.
I really do.
Consider it like this.
The hotel will have a state-of-the-art
health and sports complex.
We can transfer your complete setup
without any change,
directly into the hotel.
And this whole surfing thing,
you can do it with your team
under a corporate roof.
And we'll put you in charge
of the sports department.
The scenery will change a little, yes.
But the sea will remain the same sea,
the beach will remain the same beach.
So, you have a house,
we won't touch your house.
But if you say, rebuild it,
we'll take care of that too.
Meaning, we won't take any action
without consulting you first.
You sign this.
I'll handle the rest, trust me.
-What do you say?
-I say goodbye.
Oh, you have a visitor, Ege?
The wind is great,
I was wondering if we could go surfing.
Our visitor was on her way back
to where she came from.
And those shoes, perfect choice.
Elin, send me whatever you can find
on Ege's surf school and restaurant.
-Oh, there's a restaurant too?
-Exactly.
Does he owe taxes? His criminal record?
Whatever you can think of.
Give me everything.
We have to find something. Understand?
-Okay.
-Is there anything else?
-Is he handsome?
-Don't be ridiculous! He's a jerk.
I mean, he's not my type.
Are you serious? Hang up, Elin.
Ms. Asl, today--
Today, tomorrow, I'm here
for the next few days, I'll keep the room.
Yes, ma'am.
Uncle Nazmi, your son turned out to be
more stubborn than I thought.
He's aware that we may lose everything
and he didn't want to sign it?
No. Nature, wind, and ecological balance
seem to be more important for him.
-Selfish boy. He was always like that.
-I can come if you need help, Asl.
Everything is under control, don't worry.
I will probably need another week, though.
All right.
Okay. If that's all, I'll hang up.
We'll be in touch.
I stopped by the restaurant.
I had stuff to do.
I'm going to the school now. Is it busy?
Jump in.
You're still here?
I want to take you somewhere.
I have a class, Ms. Asl.
It'll be quick, please.
I have 25 minutes,
and you'll drive me back to school.
Okay, hop in.
-Why did we come here?
-Look at it.
This cove is much bigger than yours.
So?
I talked to the board of directors
and got their approval.
If you approve, too,
your school, the house,
and everybody there,
we will help them move.
This way,
you will get your share of the sale,
and you will also have
this big, beautiful cove.
Don't mind the people there.
They are easy to evacuate
once we have the land privatized.
-Oh, that's great news?
-Right?
Exactly.
Ege, I'm trying
to handle this beautifully.
Make it ugly if you wish.
Will you not consider this idea now?
I'm considering. I considered.
No way, move on.
I really don't understand.
What else do you want?
I'm going to be late for class, let's go.
Good morning.
Good morning.
What's the new offer?
There's no offer this time.
Look, I realized I can't convince you.
I thought I'd take a few days off
since I'm here.
Maybe I'll learn how to surf.
-Asl, look, I'm a very direct person.
-Me too.
Is that so?
I have a very busy life.
Restaurant, surf school, students, etc.
I don't have time for these little games,
believe me.
It would be best if you went home.
Game? There is no game.
I want to learn how to surf.
And I have a few days off.
What part don't you believe?
-Really?
-Really.
And
I want to catch up
with my childhood friend. Is that bad?
You want to learn to surf?
-You want to?
-You really want to?
-I really do.
-Great.
Srma, do you mind?
Asl wants to learn windsurfing.
-Hello.
-Srma is the best teacher around here.
Of course. I'd love to.
I've heard a lot about Ege.
I'd rather learn from him.
Dont get me wrong.
My schedule is full all week.
Nice to meet you, Asl.
Ege!
-Your class?
-My class.
The reservation was for Ms. Esra.
Me or somebody else. Why does it matter?
Same money after all.
Right. Goodbye once again, Asl.
By the way, the sandals look good on you.
Gami, see you.
He's obsessed with me.
See you.
Youre not gonna believe this!
A guy drowning in debt, right?
I know the type like the back of my hand.
He has neither personal
nor corporate debt.
I had him checked for tax debts,
his phone bills, even his Internet bills.
Even the environmental tax. It's all paid.
Come on. No litigation, anything?
-Nope.
-Oh, this is not good.
I thought I'd get him kicked off the beach
due to misuse of the company land.
No, you have to convince this guy nicely.
Okay, we'll be in touch.
Was that Asl?
She's not answering my calls.
What's she up to down there?
-Hello. Is Ege here?
-He's inside, in the kitchen.
Hello. Cibes.
Oh, did you bring us cibes?
How nice of you.
Sorry, I think I dropped it.
I thought I'd bring some.
For you to serve the right stuff.
You're a terribly kind person.
Do you have a crush on me?
You keep showing up.
Excuse me? What makes you think that?
I told you I want to surf,
catch up with my childhood friend.
And how do you respond?
As the CEO of a company going bankrupt,
you make really good use of your time.
Do you work at the restaurant every day?
Are you estimating my profit?
No, I'm trying to establish a dialogue.
What is this you're doing?
Minding your business,
not looking at my face.
What's that? Sexy chef attitude?
I will teach you surfing and I don't like
being in constant communication with you.
How's that for open dialogue?
Are you making the bottarga? Be honest.
I hated the one you sent last time.
Okay, give me tuna, five kilos.
Don't be late. Goodbye.
What's wrong?
I feel terrible, man.
We are officially getting divorced.
The court date has been announced.
We've been talking about this for months.
Didn't you want a divorce too?
Are we going to pretend all that pain
and all the happy moments never happened
and go our separate ways?
Yaman, haven't you been separated
for six months?
Yasemin is my house, my home.
My bond with life.
Yaman, did it just dawn on you, seriously?
I mean, just now!
I didn't think it would be like this.
Enough with the nonsense!
Whatever she tried to do,
you broke her spirit, you let her down,
but when you were down,
she was there for you!
Aren't you my friend?
You have to take my side.
Besides, I never knowingly upset her.
You pick women like you pick apples,
then fake affection, this and that.
Would a man in love let his wife
live in a separate home for months?
Fuck off, for God's sake! Get lost.
Hey! Hold you horses.
-I won't. Fuck off.
-Hey! Shush.
Goes down smooth? Pour me one.
How's the store prep coming along?
Full throttle.
I'm working like crazy, you know.
Ege, I have to sell all the stuff I made.
Or else, bye-bye store.
I have no doubt about it.
I think you'll sell out, it'll be great.
What's the matter with you?
Your eyes give it away. Spill.
Yaman is not all right.
Well, that's not my problem anymore.
I've endured enough.
I am the biggest witness
of how much you love each other, Yasemin.
Don't exaggerate.
That's true, of course.
But you can be sure that Yaman has no idea
how to express his love.
Yasemin, I know how much
this guy loves you. You know too.
His problem is
he's made some mistakes,
he doesn't want you to make the same ones.
It's over for me.
I definitely don't want
a marriage like this.
We are very good friends with Yaman.
We still would be, but that's all.
All right.
I want you to be all right. Both of you.
You know what's best.
Yaso!
Come here, my love.
She is totally right.
What are you doing here?
Were you listening to us?
Well, I can't say I was
because I didn't hear everything.
Unfortunately, just intermittent chatter.
It must be the music.
But from what I was able to hear,
she's quite right.
Women are always right.
I understand now how you can get along
with that old jerk and the rest.
The whole picture is so clear.
Give it to me.
Zero respect, zero feeling, zero empathy.
Aren't you going to teach me how to surf?
Hello, instructor.
If only I could start, I will sort
this surfing thing out in three days.
Sure.
I talked to Yaman, your 9:00 is vacant.
-Me?
-Yes.
No, 9:00 and 10:00 are full.
Eight is early in the morning,
but at 9:00 I have Asl.
-What, me?
-Yes, we have 9:00.
That's right.
It's all right. No problem.
I'll be around long enough.
-Let's see.
-See you then.
But isn't 9:00 too early?
Is it?
Okay.
Ege, I hear Ms. Asl is there.
How is everything?
Good, everything is fine.
She'll be back in a few days.
I'm investigating the details
of this CFO's embezzlement.
Your father, Mr. Nazmi,
he may be up to something,
I sense something bad.
I wouldn't be surprised.
-I'll let you know.
-Okay, bye.
Good morning.
Put that on.
-But it's wet.
-You'll get wet anyway.
-It stinks.
-Come on.
Wait, let me change.
Where are the cabins around here?
I think you understand the equipment
and the logic of this.
As we've been talking about all morning,
it's about being in harmony with the wind.
We need to be calm, nothing else.
-Yes, I think I got it.
-Come on, then.
-Oh, the water is so cold.
-Stop complaining.
I'm not complaining.
I'm just saying the water is cold.
Get on the board. Slow and calm.
We're going to check your balance.
Feel it for yourself.
-Should I get on it?
-Calm, yes.
Great.
It's beautiful. It's amazing.
Let's not hurry.
-I am on it.
-You are on it, bravo.
Now, if you're ready, I'm going to ask you
to pull the uphaul and lift the sail.
Gradually, just like squatting.
You're doing fine.
Great.
-Great?
-Falling overboard is part of the process.
Again.
-Like this?
-Yes. Are you all right?
-I'm fine, I'll do it.
-Up you go.
That's great.
Look, you're good at this part.
Let's continue.
All right. I'm doing this. Look.
I am sure.
-Very nice.
-Yes.
Exactly what I'm asking you.
The forefoot is tense.
You will squat towards the back foot
Both feet parallel.
Wait a minute! Which one was the forefoot?
-The foot in front of the other foot.
-Okay, one second.
Your right hand will be a little tense.
The left is tense,
the other one next to it
The forefoot tense just like that.
Don't hang on to your left arm too much,
let it loose.
-Okay.
-Nice positioning.
-Yes.
-Great. Let's see how you go.
-I'm doing it, really.
-Okay, calm down.
Leave yourself to the wind, don't fight.
-I'm really going, see?
-Yes.
-Tense up, the foot, tense.
-Tense up--
You know what?
You have it in you.
Really?
Exactly.
It looked easy.
You can quit anytime.
No, I will continue.
It was very enjoyable.
Do we need to prepare anything
for the evening?
No, I took care of the drinks.
Yasemin and Gamze
will take care of the snacks.
Where are you going?
We'll watch the sunset on the rocks.
Would you like to come?
No. Thank you.
I don't mix well with strangers.
Oh, but when it comes to us, nag, nag.
Normally, when I snap at people,
they don't snap back.
A formidable way of communicating.
Is that how we should communicate?
That's not what I said.
You're answering back.
It establishes a real dialogue
between us, in my opinion.
Oh, you just praised me now.
Kind of.
Thank you.
You really have great photos.
Is this you, Ege?
-That's me.
-You've really evolved over the years.
How do you know each other?
Our paths crossed during my bankruptcy.
Don't go there, really.
How?
I was an architect.
I owned a construction company.
I had a startup company by the harbor
building tiny houses.
I thought it was a great idea.
Apparently, it wasnt.
There's really no need for sad stories.
No, tell me. I'm curious.
It's not a sad story
it's a saga of heroism.
For crying out loud!
I'm curious, tell me.
When Ege became my partner,
he went ahead
and spoke to all my creditors.
And I put things on track.
So, you're partners.
Nice. What was the name of the company?
-Don't ask.
-Why?
Believe me, I can't stand to hear it.
Don't say it, I'm begging you.
You are exaggerating. What was it?
Nammay. Reverse of Yaman but with two M's.
There are two M's in the logo.
In the form of a tiny house.
Excuse me.
What kind of a company name is that?
Like nay-nay.
He found the company and named it Nammay.
How could you become a partner?
You should have suggested another name.
Is it that bad?
-Yes.
-Yes.
Hello, Elcin?
I think I found something.
Ege is a partner in a construction company
called Nammay.
-Nammay?
-Yes.
According to our company's
founding charter, that's forbidden.
He needs permission from the directors,
but I don't remember anything like that.
I'll have the company records
checked immediately.
If this is true, we can dismiss him
from the board of directors.
If this is how we solve this issue,
it will be our party.
Absolutely.
-Exactly. Cut those.
-It's done.
All right.
-Welcome.
-Hello.
Come.
Such a beautiful place.
I realized that I haven't taken a vacation
in a very long time.
What does that mean?
Skiing in Courchevel, birthday in Mykonos,
weddings in Tuscany? None?
Business in London, business in Dubai,
business in Istanbul. All business.
Such a pity. Come here.
Asl.
-I'm Asl.
-Hello.
She is the CEO of our company in Istanbul.
I'm Yasemin.
I know you.
I saw you at the bar yesterday.
I know you. I already know you.
-And I am Gamze, welcome.
-Thank you.
Kind of a stalker. Don't mind her.
Sir.
The real stalker has arrived.
Sir.
Sir, I saw you
and thought I'd stop by. Hello.
How did you find this place?
I think it's nice.
-You think it's nice. Great.
-Good.
The wind is great, perfect for surfing.
-Sinan, by the way.
-I know him too.
So, Asl,
when are you going back to Istanbul?
I'll be around for a few days more.
Wonderful.
-All right then.
-So, beer, wine?
-Wine will do.
-Wine.
Do you want something to eat?
Grapes are wonderful.
No, wine is enough.
We have great cherries, actually.
We get it from my neighborhood.
Who wants cherries?
-It's from our greengrocer.
-Thanks.
Who's got the music?
Yes, Yaman.
-Go ahead then.
-Come on.
Asl, welcome.
-Hold on.
-It's okay. Enjoy.
-Welcome, Asl.
-Welcome.
Welcome to the group
and welcome to our spot.
-We were just cutting something.
-All right.
Have you started the lessons?
I think it went well,
but you have to ask Ege.
I can't do it at all.
-Is Ege your instructor?
-Yes.
The sun is setting.
Pick up three pebbles, Asl.
We pick up three pebbles.
We throw them into the sea
just as the sun sets.
Then we make a wish.
Wait, not now. Just as it sets.
Now.
And we don't tell anyone our wishes
or they won't come true.
I'm going to shout out loud.
I just want to keep my shop.
I wanna sell everything I've been making
for months at the opening.
-Do you need to sell something?
-Yes.
I'll take care of it.
We have no doubt about that.
Asl, did you pay attention
to what you wished for?
See?
Where's my wine?
I'm so sorry.
-And her phone does not stop ringing.
-She is a CEO.
-Hello.
-Hello, my queen bingo.
If this is a legal partnership,
Ege loses his right to vote
in the board of directors.
I looked up Nammay's trade registry
but it did not appear in the system.
Send me the full name of the company
and other documents you can find.
I will look into that.
But Elcin, look.
Don't say anything to anyone
until you're absolutely sure.
You know this is no joke.
Okay. Don't worry, boss.
Sorry again.
Come on, grab a drink.
Welcome, Asl.
-Welcome, Asl.
-Hello.
-Welcome, Asl.
-Hello.
-Is that all right?
-Well, I don't know.
-Hi.
-Hello.
Efe, when did you arrive?
I didn't see you.
-How are you?
-I'm fine, thanks. You?
-Wonderful.
-Perfect.
Sir, and a swimsuit?
I picked this swimsuit.
-How do you like it?
-Great.
-Exactly.
-And flexible.
What are you doing there?
I was going to swim. I got carried away.
What is the deal with Yasemin and Yaman?
I see them together, then separated?
There seems to be an attraction
between them. Are they lovers?
No, they're married.
What, they're married?
-But they're about to get divorced.
-What?
So how do you hang out together like this?
Our friendship goes way back.
Should we not see each other?
I don't know, share the friends.
They are getting divorced nicely.
Maybe we shouldn't get involved.
You are right,
being civilized is a beautiful thing.
But let me tell you.
All Yasemin needs is a small step.
A little support.
When did you get this insight?
I heard you talking.
That's when I understood.
While stalking.
-Oh, come on.
-Right.
Will you excuse me?
Of course.
Where? The restaurant?
I have a friend
who makes wine for the restaurant.
-I will see him, in Urla.
-Urla?
Nice.
-Come with me.
-Okay, I'll come.
Sure, come on.
I've never been there. I'd like to see it.
I see, nice.
Are we riding this?
-Why? Don't you like it?
-That's not why.
Does this even run?
Hop on. It runs.
Hold on.
-Ylmaz?
-Ege.
The more we look into it,
the deeper it gets.
It doesn't seem to be completely
Asl's fault.
I'll call you back when it's all clear.
Would you consider
suing the board if necessary?
Brother, you know me.
Get to the bottom of it,
but do not act without my knowledge.
-All right?
-All right, as you wish.
Okay.
It's hot!
Doesn't this have air conditioning?
I will turn the ignition on now.
There's a button on the side.
When you press it, it will blow.
Exactly.
I swear our brains
will melt into the asphalt.
You're such a road buddy.
What? It's hot?
Why are you listening to nostalgic music
like an old man?
What's wrong? It's good music.
What music do you like?
I don't know. I have no particular taste.
I mean, I don't listen to music much.
Congratulations.
You're the first person I know
who doesn't listen to music. Bravo.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
What a joyful life.
This one is not bad, though.
-Do you like it?
-I like it.
Good. Good for all of us.
Nice.
May I show you something
you didn't know you had?
It's on our way.
What is it?
All right, let's go.
You'll like it, don't worry.
Is this really ours?
Yes, a plot of land
that belongs to the company.
I had no idea.
Come.
Are all these mastic trees?
All those trees are mastic trees.
Have you eaten any before?
No, I haven't. Is it edible?
It could be called edible.
You chew it, actually.
Don't eat it. Insecticides can kill you.
Oh, for God's sake, open your mouth.
Open up.
How do you like it?
Incredibly good.
Right?
-Sticky.
-It goes away when you lick it, come.
-It's not going away.
-It will.
-What a beautiful place.
-Isn't it?
They have been trying really hard
for years now.
Ferru.
My Ege.
What's up, sweetheart?
I'm fine. Welcome. Welcome both of you.
-Asl, Ferru.
-Nice to meet you.
Hello, very nice to meet you.
He's never brought a girlfriend before.
No, no, I'm not his girlfriend.
Our partner Arif's daughter.
Arif's daughter.
-Do you know him?
-Of course.
Where's Uncle Korkmaz?
His business in Izmir is running late,
but he'll be here soon.
Come, have a seat.
He'll be upset if he doesn't see you.
We won't bother you at all, I--
I'll prepare something right away.
Come on.
All right.
Has the irrigation problem
in the vineyards been solved?
Don't ask.
Korkmaz worked so hard day and night,
but we finally got it done.
-Thank God.
-Great. I'm very happy for you.
How do you like our wine, Asl?
It's really good.
Enjoy.
What are you doing?
Eat it whole.
I can't eat like that.
Who eats figs like that?
Here, hold it like this.
Just like this.
I told you, I can't.
Let her be.
Let her eat it the way she likes.
All right, I didn't say anything.
She can eat it however she wants.
Let her eat.
You know what, Asl?
Ege was almost born into my hands.
His mommy gave birth to him for me. Right?
I guess the wines in that box are mine.
The ones in the back?
Yes, your Uncle Korkmaz
reserved them for you.
I'll load them in the car.
Come, let's visit the vineyards.
-Okay, sure.
-Come.
Ege's mother, Figen,
she was my best friend.
My unfortunate friend.
She was very ill in her final days.
Is that what you're talking about?
I think it would be more accurate to say
she withered away
and died in Nazmi's prison.
How come?
Figen was a very beautiful woman.
Very talented.
She had a great voice.
The world admired her,
and she fell in love with Nazmi.
They got married, the bans started.
What bans?
He stopped her from singing,
prevented her from recording,
he cut her off from life.
Because he could not cope with her wealth,
or with her beauty,
or with her talent.
Oh, my dear Figen.
Well, what could she do?
The songs she couldn't sing to anyone,
she would sing them to Ege.
They had a strong bond as mother and son.
But that wasn't enough for Mr. Nazmi.
He took the child from her at a young age,
sent him abroad.
Uncle Nazmi did all that?
Yes, Uncle Nazmi.
Oh, I
Ege will skin me alive
for telling you all this.
But I don't know if it's old age or what.
I don't want to keep it inside me.
I want to tell you everything.
I want everyone to hear the story.
Bless her soul.
She would have wanted me to.
What are you doing?
Uncle Korkmaz is here.
-How are you, son?
-I'm fine, Uncle Korkmaz, welcome.
-Korkmaz.
-Uncle Korkmaz.
-Whoa. Are you okay?
-What happened, Ege?
Get me some water.
It must be the hot weather, I guess.
-I'll bring it right away.
-Uncle Korkmaz.
His pulse is starting to drop.
All right, it's over.
You're tough as nails.
You'll be all right.
Korkmaz, isn't sugar off-limits for you,
for goodness' sake?
You finished a whole box in the car!
Oh, my.
Forget about that.
Who is this beautiful girl?
All right, he's definitely awake.
Yes, I am. Who is this beautiful girl?
Your girlfriend?
I asked him that too.
Unfortunately, she isn't, dear.
Son, are you crazy?
Why are you not with this girl?
By the way, I'm Korkmaz.
Asl. Nice to meet you too.
Nice to meet you.
-How is he?
-He's already asleep.
Good then.
Guys, can I ask you something?
Can you stay tonight?
If something happens to him at night,
I don't want to be alone.
Besides, it's already late for you.
Of course, if you say so. Ege?
-I mean, if you're okay with it, I'm fine.
-Sure.
-All right.
-Thank you so much.
Come then.
I'll give you a clean nightgown.
You're not going to sleep there. Are you?
Where else am I going to sleep?
-Aren't you going to give me the bed?
-Where am I going to sleep?
Where am I going to sleep?
Ask the front desk
if there are any vacancies.
Asl, for God's sake, come and sleep here.
Don't be ridiculous, Ege.
I'll sleep on the couch outside.
Well, it is snake season,
but it's up to you.
Snake?
There is no snake.
You're in a vineyard, Asl.
There are all kinds of centipedes
and reptiles here.
I'm going to bed, enjoy yourself.
Ege.
Ege.
I'm cold.
What am I supposed to do?
Give me the blanket maybe.
Here.
Go to sleep.
Thank you so much.
Take care of yourself.
If something happens call me, okay?
He's telling you,
you won't eat candy anymore.
Glad to meet you, goodbye.
Us too, Asl my dear. Come again.
Goodbye.
Okay, bye-bye.
I stink.
I have to go to a hammam
and get a proper scrub.
I have a better idea.
-Trust me.
-Okay.
What?
-Are we going to jump?
-What do you think?
Don't let those rocks scare you.
It's not as high as it looks.
I will jump first.
You will jump where I jump, okay?
After that, there will be no problem.
One gets scared at first glance.
Of course, it's very normal.
And after the first jump,
you will love it,
you'll want to jump again.
This side? This side?
Here's what we'll do.
See those rocks, forget them.
We'll jump this way.
Just be calm. As I said, I'll jump first.
You'll jump where I jump, okay?
It'll be fine.
You'll have a lot of fun.
We used to come when we were kids.
Of course, at first we'd be terrified,
but then
Asl!
Are you coming?
All right!
I had a lovely day. Thank you.
Very beautiful.
I mean, everything was beautiful.
-We'll see each other at surfing.
-Yes, we will.
We will.
-See you.
-See you.
Didn't you miss your, Cenk?
This is some surprise.
Is something wrong?
I actually came here to ask you
if something's wrong.
You don't answer my calls,
you don't answer my e-mails.
Road trips with that guy and all that.
Are you spying on us?
No, I came here to see you.
But when I witnessed the intense scene
in front of the hotel,
I thought I shouldn't interrupt.
Oh God!
Could it be frustration
and exhaustion, Cenk?
Asl, look, I don't buy this act.
I know exactly what I saw back there.
I just got in his car, that's all.
Besides, what did you see?
What are you suggesting?
What did you see?
You're obviously attracted to that guy.
Is it true? Say it.
I'm running out of options here
to find his weakness.
Can you hear yourself?
I am trying to save the company here.
Do you have any idea
what I've been through?
I'm sorry.
-You know how attached I am to you.
-All right.
When I saw you two together
Okay, it's okay.
Why are you here?
Cenk, look, they will see us,
they will get suspicious.
I had a meeting in Izmir
and there is dinner in the evening.
I thought I'd see you.
I was worried
when you didn't answer my calls.
What time is your dinner?
I have to be in Izmir in an hour.
Okay then, here is what we do.
Go to your dinner. Don't be late.
I'll talk to you later, okay?
Fine.
Go.
See you then.
Answer my calls. I'm worried about you.
All right, we'll talk.
Yes. You're the best!
Great, keep your forefoot tense.
And the arm.
Yes, just like that.
You're doing great, keep it up!
-Great!
-I'm doing it!
Yes!
Done!
I still have a lot to learn about surfing,
but I think I should go now.
You seem to have gotten used
to this place.
I'll be back to my default settings
in a couple of days.
Of course you will.
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to stop by Yasemin's.
Ege.
I have to ask one last time.
If you don't let them,
they will declare war on you.
And you run the risk of losing this cove.
You know that, right?
Don 't worry about me,
I'll take care of myself.
I know, that's not why I said so.
I'm beginning to understand
how you really feel.
But there are facts.
Surely.
I wish I could see a way
for our mutual demise or a way out.
I wish you could understand
that I really don't care about it at all.
All right.
I wanted to ask you for the last time.
Hold on!
I'll tell you something.
This cannot be how this story ends.
Are you busy tonight?
No.
Come over, I'll cook for you.
All right, I'll be there.
I'm not very good
in the kitchen, you know.
No worries.
You're quite good at sales, marketing,
and at environmental destruction.
I will miss these responses.
And you were great, by the way.
-Right. I'm doing this.
-You truly were great.
Asl, I'm still in shock.
How did you make it so easy for me
to sell stuff on this website?
I've been on the waiting list
for months, you know?
I didn't do anything. A phone call or two
and it worked, that's all.
How did you set up this infrastructure?
I got support from the company,
I couldn't do that alone.
I mean, all dreams I had for this shop,
you made it happen in two days.
You are so talented. I didn't do anything.
Besides, now you have the ball.
Thank you.
-It's very nice, by the way.
-Even I want to shop. Thank you.
Ege.
What's up? Welcome. Come.
Hello.
-This is for you.
-Flowers for me?
Wonderful.
Where should we put it?
Right there.
-Great.
-And this is also for you.
Oh, gifts. You didn't have to.
I thought this song
accompany this dish perfectly.
And it's the first press vinyl.
Where did you get this, really?
I have my ways.
You know what, this is the best gift ever.
I'll play it right away.
Great.
The menu is as follows.
Hummus, halloumi cheese with honey.
-Wonderful!
-Stuffed artichokes.
Cibes with balsamic, you like cibes.
Steak with potato, truffles sauce.
Who will eat all these?
We'll nibble from each dish, talk a lot.
-Good.
-Please, come here.
I prepared wonderful things,
you will love them all.
I am sure of it.
As partners in the same company,
are we finally having
a decent meal together?
Sure.
Rak?
Rak will do.
I don't eat sugar, but thanks.
Oh, it's not sugar, it's ice cream.
Remember the mastic tree field
we visited together?
I made this from the mastic from there.
Have some.
I can't say no.
What is this, Ege?
No, what is this?
Well, now
was being a CEO your childhood dream?
Was it my dream?
I don't know.
I grew up with my father.
At the office, in meetings, I was around.
Here is the real story.
When I was five years old,
my mother had fallen in love with a man,
so she left.
And she
built a whole new life without me in it.
We were alone, me and my father.
Then I didn't question much.
What would he like?
What would make him happy?
You seem to have accepted it.
Well, what else could I do?
I mean, rather than dwelling on it
and getting tired in the end,
you accept it and move on
like everything else.
I'll be honest, reaching this point
was a lengthy process for me.
But I can say that I'm fine now.
I dont have feelings for her.
Neither good nor bad, nothing.
Ever get the urge to get away
from Istanbul every now and then?
Yes. I'm frustrated.
Quite a bit.
The worst thing is,
until I set foot here,
I was wondering why I was unhappy,
thinking I had everything.
I didn't even know what I wanted.
I'm talking too much, enough already.
-Let me ask you something.
-Go ahead.
Have you ever considered
getting married and starting a family?
No.
Me neither.
Why are we like this?
Well
we're both products
of unhappy relationships.
We didn't see any good in it.
People want what they see.
This is really incredible.
I mean, incredible.
I told you, there is more, don't worry.
Eat as much as you can.
Something happened to me here.
I don't know what, but something happened.
Found yourself?
It's more like I lost myself.
I'd better go.
Thank you for everything.
Oh, so sudden.
No, no way.
We had too much to drink.
I cannot let you drive.
I have to go, pack up,
check out of the hotel.
I have a flight at 8:00 in the morning.
Eight? Quite a statement.
It is pretty early by the way.
But there's a room back there.
If you'd like
you'll leave having slept well.
Eight is very early, I could miss it.
I will go to the office from there.
I can't insist,
but if it were me, I'd do the same.
What happened?
The plane I was supposed to be on
just took off.
I think if you had decided to leave
at some point yesterday,
I was going to run after the car.
Would you?
Well, I'll look for my slippers.
You know you can't run barefoot.
You could come barefoot.
So
when are we going to enjoy
the breakfast expertise of our chef?
Nice tactic. Chef this, chef that.
-Chef, chef.
-Exactly. You made me do the job, bravo.
Why? You could whip up an omelet
with that sexy chef attitude of yours.
Omelet? Who would have thought?
Omelet for breakfast, great choice.
Well, then, let me get up.
Come on. I'm so hungry.
I'll make an omelet.
Join me at some point.
-We'll see.
-I'll miss you.
Elcin, you need to stop
everything immediately.
We're keeping Ege Yazc's information
to ourselves.
Why? All the documents are ready.
I have everything on Nammay Construction.
It's only a matter of time
before we dismiss Ege.
Besides, why haven't you returned yet?
Everyone is asking about you,
I don't know what to tell them.
Stand down. Don't share any information
with anyone, understand?
I have to go now.
Are you in love?
Hello? Asl?
-What did you cook?
-It's ready.
-Aren't you hungry?
-I'm hungry.
Come on, then. Come.
Look how excited she is, my darling.
Thank you for your work, it's very nice.
Thank you.
I will become a jealous man,
what a beauty.
-Don't exaggerate.
-But you are.
-Welcome.
-What's up?
Very good, I'm very excited.
Without Asl's support,
it would be very difficult.
What did I do? A gentle push, that's all.
-Such a wonderful girl.
-She is.
I'll make a speech and come back.
First of all, welcome.
We're gathered here
for this unique artist's exhibit.
I witnessed firsthand how much effort
she put into each piece here.
All these works of art,
which convey her whole world,
will surely find the place they deserve
in your lives and hearts.
A big round of applause for Yaso
before her speech!
I always want you to shine.
I really love you.
Although I know I couldn't show it,
it's the truth.
Please give me one last chance.
It took me a long time to realize
how ridiculous I've acted.
But I got it.
I just want one last chance from you
so that I can show it to you.
-All right.
-I'm begging, Yasemin.
-What? All right?
-All right.
All right, Yaman. Let's give it a try.
-All right?
-All right.
Bravo!
-They're so sweet.
-Yes, yes.
To all artwork you sold.
-Bravo.
-Bravo.
I still can't believe it.
I always knew you'd succeed,
no doubt about it.
Look at you!
You believed in my success?
I am his witness.
-Yes.
-Actually, I am his greatest witness.
Guys, shall we give them all
a round of applause first?
-Yes, let's do it.
-Please, bravo.
-Bravo, for real.
-Bravo.
As far as I understand,
this bunch is the best
in celebrating fake achievements.
What's the matter? Who are you?
Mr. Cenk is one of our company lawyers,
I guess he's got something to tell me.
Would you please come with me?
Another one of Ms. Asl's implicit lies.
I'm not just one of the company's lawyers.
I am also
Cenk.
I am Ms. Asl's lover.
-You're not my lover or anything!
-Is that so? What am I to you then?
Stop ruining our night.
Will you please leave?
-Please leave. Leave!
-Of course I will.
But I'll take you with me.
What are you talking about?
-Wait a second, hey!
-Ege, please. Ege, I got this.
-All right, one moment.
-All right, calm down.
You're seriously amazing
for welcoming this woman with open arms.
While you are busy
having such sweet little celebrations,
you lost your vote
in the board of directors.
What are you talking about?
A meeting will be held on Monday.
And Asl, Mr. Nazmi,
and Mr. Arif will sign.
And the next day,
the foundation piles will be driven
into your famous beach
for the hotel's construction.
There is no such thing,
there is no such meeting.
-What nonsense are you talking about?
-I am talking nonsense?
Let's assume I'm talking nonsense,
and you don't believe me.
Here are the documents.
Your surf cove,
the right of use now lies directly
with the board of directors.
Since Ege became a partner
in Yaman's construction company,
he lost his vote in our company.
Who do you think passed
this valuable information on to us?
The images taken by Asl
from Yaman's computer.
Look, she took them herself.
-Look.
-Ege.
I just
-Thanks.
-Ege.
Ege, please listen to me, I just
Ege, will you listen to me? Ege!
Just listen. Please let me explain myself.
All right, yes, I tried to find
your weakness in the beginning.
I sent what I found
to my assistant, I did.
But that was all.
I swear to you,
I quickly scrapped everything.
Everything. Please trust me, please.
You've pulled me back into things
I was trying to avoid.
Asl, leave. Go and don't come back.
Asl, I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say.
I still can't believe how Cenk
got a hold of all this.
There's nothing to do, it's my fault too.
I'll see you back in Istanbul.
I can't believe I'm seeing you like this.
I wish you'd insisted, not let him go.
I've done so much behind his back.
I don't have the courage.
What if you called him
and told him about your feelings?
I called him. He's not returning my calls
or my messages.
How did I screw up something so amazing?
Ege.
Yilmaz.
You're here to see the cove one last time?
That's why I wanted to talk face-to-face.
We can take the cove back, Ege.
What does that mean?
Remember I told you I sense something bad.
I wasn't wrong.
-Sit down and tell me all about it.
-Come.
Now.
Nazmi was embezzling
a lot of money to Malta.
Yes, everything is ready.
Now we can have your signatures.
Yes, let's do it.
Mr. Nazmi, let's start with you.
Please.
-I hope it will be beneficial for all.
-Amen.
I hope it will be beneficial
for all of us too.
Thank you.
Ms. Asl.
I will not sign it.
What nonsense
is your daughter talking about?
-Watch your language with me.
-Hold on a minute.
I'm not signing these documents.
What will happen will happen.
Baby girl.
When you come to your senses,
everything we have will be gone.
Are you aware of that?
Dad, we never had anything real
we can lose.
What does that mean, baby girl?
Ege.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Arif, Mr. Nazmi, hello.
It will take a while, so please sit down.
How did you get in? Who let you in?
Twelve years and this is what you say,
and you call this man the boss.
You're being rude.
You have no shame. Do you?
I'm not ashamed at all.
Because of what you did to a woman
years ago,
I swore not to step foot in this company.
Now, a completely different woman
made me break this oath.
I was sure I would never break my promise
until two weeks ago.
You just can't think of everything.
In the meantime,
you've dismissed me from the company.
With your signature, Cenk.
Congratulations.
You like paperwork.
I'm calling security now.
Don't bother, I called them,
they're on their way.
Someone gave the CFO
the power to sign, which doesn't exist,
and have become partners in establishing
a front company oversees.
And as if that's not enough,
he's used Asl as bait.
What do you mean?
Your money, actually our money,
is in the hands of a company which belongs
to Mr. Nazmi, Cenk, and the CFO.
No, no, wait a minute.
What is this, Nazmi?
He is making it up, I can explain.
Don't bother.
If you check the documents,
it's all very clear.
-Asl
-Give me that!
To help the company
out of this debt burden,
I'm transferring the money
I haven't touched for 15 years to you.
You really haven't touched that money?
God, I told you thousand times. I didn't.
Yes, my offer is very simple.
Without causing harm to nature
through controversial initiatives,
you will solve your cash problems
using my money.
The power to sign
and majority of the shares
will remain with Asl.
Do you know what you're talking about?
What are you after?
What do you want for yourself? What--
Nazmi, enough!
First of all,
I really don't want to come here again.
Also, you'll transfer all rights
to the property in eme to me.
This is ridiculous.
You're ridiculous
if you think I'd give up so easily.
You must be out of your mind.
I think all is clear here.
Good day.
You're just like your mother.
Yes, exactly.
-What a disgrace!
-Calm down just a second.
-No, no.
-What a disgrace!
I am a person of the law.
What are you going to explain?
You went behind our backs!
-You did it.
-Calm down.
-It's all here, with proof.
-Just a second.
Nazmi, how dare you double-cross me
and my daughter.
-There is no such thing.
-How could you dump years of dedication?
Welcome. My friend
will take care of you immediately.
Hello, thank you.
Welcome. Your table is ready.
Bro.
Table four says to bring her
whatever comes out fastest.
Now you will ask me
about my life and I will ask back.
We'll listen to stuff we don't want to.
We're gonna talk about a thousand things
we don't want to.
However, you came here
and did what you had to do.
I did.
Then I think
we can move on
to the next stage in our story.
Sir.
Sinan.
Sir, I didn't want to tell you
and break your heart but
I decided to quit surfing.
No way.
-Unfortunately.
-Why?
In surfing,
I have reached a certain point.
I'm satisfied.
-It's true.
-But don't worry, I'll be around.
-Apparently.
-See you then.
Asl, what are you doing? Where are you?
Are you still at the beach?
When are you really coming back?
I must organize all my meetings
to suit your schedule.
I don't know.
Looks like I'll be around for a while.
Oh, but look, there are documents
you need to sign
