The Tailor (2023) s01e02 Episode Script

Episode 2

1
Surely they'll give you a job
in Istanbul, Faruk.
After all, we need to be close
to our daughter.
Girl, why the long face again?
You're going to see your fiancée.
Smile a bit.
We'll be set for life, but look at her.
I'm telling you, it's gonna be great.
-Welcome, Mrs. İrini.
-Thanks.
-Come in.
-Please come in.
Sister! Brother-in-law!
You didn't have to come all the way down.
Nonsense, İrini, dear.
Even a red carpet wouldn't suffice
for our bride.
Welcome, baby. It's so nice to see you.
Thank you, Auntie Lia.
No more "auntie," sweetheart.
It's "mom" now.
Mom. Mama.
At last you're here.
We'll never be apart again.
We'll always be together.
So I wanted our love nest to be perfect.
This is our suite.
I had everything made to your taste.
Everything.
This will be our happy love nest.
-What do you mean, let go?
-Let go!
-Poor Esvet is unhappy.
-Let me go!
Poor Esvet hardly ever smiles. Why?
Why, indeed. Esvet must reflect on that.
Esvet!
Poor Esvet is unhappy, is she?
Poor Esvet never smiles.
Huh? I wonder why not.
-Please let me go.
-Why?
Please, let go!
Esvet must reflect on that. Right?
Yes.
Esvet must be alone…
and reflect on that.
She's no longer your auntie, honey.
You'll call her "mother."
Your makeup's ruined. Let's fix it.
Mama.
You're not even gonna ask?
No need.
I already know.
Mama, I can't marry him.
-Please don't make me. Please.
-Come on. Pull yourself together.
-Pull it together and go downstairs.
-Please, Mom.
Don't keep Dimitri waiting
and make him mad.
-Mama, please. Mama!
-Come on.
Mama!
Peyami Dokumacı is downstairs.
To take your measurements, no less.
Imagine that.
It's a first in history.
Oh, my love.
You're okay, right?
Come on out.
Get out.
Yes. Middle-aged, mentally disabled.
No days off, though.
-It's a full-time job.
-Suzi! Not so loud.
The NDA is very important to us.
Okay. We'd appreciate a swift response.
Thank you.
No need for an NDA if you keep this up!
-Right. Dimitri and his family don't know.
-No one knows but you!
I'm sorry, Peyami.
For all anyone knows,
he doesn't exist. Got it?
THE TAILOR
Asiye.
I'm sure the agency informed you properly.
Of course.
I'll be working full-time.
-No days off.
-And?
And… what I see here,
everything about the patient, stays here.
And you have no objection to these terms?
No.
Have a seat.
We'd like you to sign this agreement.
Mind you, this is only an NDA.
It doesn't mean you're hired.
For you to use here.
I need to take your phone.
As a precaution, so you don't take videos.
You can use your own SIM.
It flew! You see?
Daddy!
Away.
Look, there's someone here
who wants to meet you.
Scarecrow.
Scarecrow.
Scarecrow.
You're here?
I think you mistake me for someone else.
Is Scarecrow your friend?
Friend.
Play friend.
Yes. If you want,
you and I can be friends too.
Let's introduce ourselves.
My name is Firuze.
-What's yours?
-Mustafa.
Such a beautiful name.
And it fits you very well.
You know why?
Because "Mustafa" means
a pure, chosen person.
Just like you.
Pure Mustafa!
Yes. You are.
Play. Friend.
Come. Look.
Look what's here.
They'll give you the details later.
Congratulations.
I'm at the end of my rope, dear.
Where could she be, İrini?
I have no idea, sis.
She doesn't know the city.
She knows no one here.
It's true, brother-in-law.
It's not like Esvet to run away.
Is it, Faruk?
But she's gone.
That threw my Dimitraki off-balance.
And he was so stable before,
wasn't he, our son?
Good morning, my family!
Such a beautiful day, right?
Come on!
Come on, join me!
Listen to this song.
Such a nice song, isn't it?
Such a nice song.
Because it's Esvet's and my wedding song.
Our first dance will be to this.
Look…
Just a second.
I'll swirl Esvet here.
Then I push her away.
I pull her back in.
And then we dip.
Our eyes are locked.
Our eyes, full of love.
It'll be a wonderful first dance.
I wish she were here.
We'd show you together.
But she's not.
For now.
She'll come back.
What do you think?
A great entrance, isn't it?
Yes. Lovely.
-It will be lovely.
-Just lovely?
It will be magnificent!
Marika, tea.
Right away, sir.
Wow!
A scrumptious breakfast,
fit for our guests.
So, tell me.
You slept well?
We did, son. Thank you.
Nice!
So you slept without a worry in the world,
farting away.
I, however, didn't sleep a wink.
Where is your daughter, Mrs. İrini?
Mr. Faruk, where is Esvet?
You don't know.
But you slept anyway. Great.
No, Dimitri, son.
Don't say that. We couldn't sleep either.
But my esteemed auntie just said you did.
Who should I believe?
Dimitri, enough.
I kept checking my phone all night.
To see if she'd call.
She didn't.
Did Esvet call you?
No, she didn't. We were as worried as you.
No, you weren't.
You two slept.
Wasn't it what you said, Auntie?
Maybe she called while you were asleep.
Let me check.
Dimitri, I said enough!
Enough!
You're pathetic.
You snap at everything around you
when you are hurt,
just like a stray dog.
Get creative, Father.
Fuck!
Goddamn it!
We can't speak over this.
You know I'm not very chatty
in the morning.
Not in the morning, or ever.
Especially with me.
But we need to talk.
Let's talk.
Enjoy.
You congratulated her and left.
Without a trial period.
A bit quick, don't you think?
He's already made his decision.
You saw it.
He sang her his favorite song
as soon as he saw her.
What did Asiye call it?
Right. "Kiraz's song."
It's not about songs and games--
Clearly this girl made him
remember something he liked.
That's the greatest possible approval.
Have it your way.
When are you planning
to tell the girl the rest of it?
The rest?
That she needs to marry Mustafa.
Look. There's a race car too.
Very pretty.
Yes. There is a ship too.
Captain Mustafa.
Captain Mustafa is on the ship.
Where is it? There.
Come.
There. Come.
Look, there. Come.
-Mustafa!
-It hurts!
Mustafa, are you okay?
-Off. Take it off.
-Okay. Okay, wait.
Wait, let go.
Let me see, Mustafa. It's okay.
Off. Take it off.
The girl will bathe him like a baby.
Sometimes she'll have to lie
next to him all night.
So?
So…
Your father doesn't know how to behave.
He has no boundaries.
We mustn't indulge that sin.
-Sin?
-Smirk all you want.
You don't know
what we had to deal with in the past.
It almost ruined our reputation.
It'll be the same with this girl.
You think that signature
will be enough then?
But she can't say a word
if they're married.
In order to protect
our family's reputation,
they must get married.
If you think
the girl would not agree to this,
the solution is clear.
No need for her to agree to do anything,
or for you to look for a solution.
Because that would never happen.
My lady! Master! Come, quick!
It's because he's tied up.
Why can't you see that?
The chains are hurting him.
Please take them off.
What's this, Kazım?
Firuze wants to untie him.
She's very insistent.
Sir, they make him uneasy and hurt him.
He just fell down.
God forbid, something worse might happen.
Don't presume to know
what's good for him better than we do.
I didn't mean it like that.
-Just--
-Just do what you're told.
And do not meddle in things
that aren't your business.
Take it off!
Look, it's the chains
that make him aggressive.
He won't calm down unless they're off.
Take it off!
-Kazım, give Firuze the keys.
-Master--
You heard me!
Mustafa.
Mustafa, look. Look what I have here.
-It's okay. Calm down. It's all right.
-Off.
-Take it off!
-Come. Sit down and I'll take it off.
-Off!
-Sit down.
-Take them off. Off.
-It's okay.
It's okay, Mustafa.
Let's take them off.
-Kazım.
-Yes, sir.
Why is the scarecrow still not here?
They couldn't find it.
Maybe Master Mustafa hid it
before we left.
Tell them to find it at once.
Yes, sir.
Attaboy.
Attaboy, Mustafa.
Take it off! Off!
The donkey will die!
It will die because of you!
-Your feet are okay now, right?
-Good now. Okay.
-They won't ever hurt again.
-They won't. Yes.
-Right. Good for you.
-Mustafa!
You'll never be tied up again.
Never! Yes.
Look how pretty the clouds are. Look.
Clouds.
Look!
Look how pretty the clouds are.
You see? Look at the clouds.
It's so nice to be able to see them.
Well? Have you thought about what you did?
I have, ma'am. Please let me out.
Well, then.
Apologize to your friend.
I won't.
Look what you've done to her hair.
Apologize.
But she said nobody would adopt me.
She said I would never have parents.
She's right.
Nobody would want a bad girl like you.
Do you understand?
You'll stay here
until you come to your senses.
Miss Katerina is a lively girl.
God bless her,
but we're not looking for a doll.
Are we, Faruk?
İrini.
What's your name?
Esvet.
Tag, you're it!
Get up. Are we in the garden to sit?
Let's play. Come on. Tag, you're it!
Mustafa can't catch me!
-He will!
-He won't. Mustafa can't catch me!
I'm dead, aren't I, Salim?
Please tell me you're joking!
I'm afraid not, ma'am.
-Good morning, sir.
-Good morning, Sema.
-Welcome.
-Thanks.
Let me take that.
Good morning. Nice to see you.
You too.
Thanks.
Trouble at home again?
Kind of.
But it'll settle down.
At least he liked the caregiver.
What do you mean?
The agency sent someone?
-You didn't know?
-No.
They're unbelievable.
Well, what's the caregiver like?
You liked them?
He did.
Is the wedding dress ready?
How did this happen?
It's my fault.
I put it on too fast.
I wasn't careful.
It's not their fault.
I'll resign immediately if you want me to.
Pack it up.
I'll go retake the measurements.
The kitchen.
The staff eats here.
Hello, Asiye.
The staff consists
of myself, Kazım, Asiye.
And now, you. So there's four of us.
And this is your room.
Did you leave your bags in the hallway?
I'll have them brought here.
Um…
My suitcase was stolen at the station.
-I'd just left it to--
-Sorry.
Then I'll let Mr. Peyami know
that you'll be needing new clothes.
And I'll get you something
to wear tonight.
-Thanks.
-Let's continue.
The top floor.
Mr. Peyami's workshop is up there.
It's absolutely off-limits.
Not only for you,
but also for Mr. Mustafa.
Is that clear?
Mr. Peyami detests noise.
He needs utter silence,
especially when he's working.
And it's your job
not to let Mr. Mustafa disrupt that.
-Firuze?
-Huh? Uh-huh.
Mrs. Sülün.
I was giving Firuze the tour.
It can wait.
I'd like to talk to Firuze first.
So, Firuze…
I am going to cut to the chase,
young lady.
You've been congratulated.
But you haven't been informed
about the terms of this job.
Yes. Özden, Asiye, and others--
It's not Asiye's place to tell you that.
Only I can do that.
Now, you will be taking care of Mustafa
in any and every way.
That includes feeding him,
cleaning him, bathing him, everything.
Like he's a little child.
But a child only in some ways.
You might be thinking that now.
But although Mustafa has
the mind of a child, his body is…
that of a grown man.
You understand, don't you?
Of course.
Good.
What I'm trying to say is,
in order to take care of him
according to our customs,
you must, with God as your witness,
marry Mustafa.
-Marry him?
-Yes.
But if you say you don't care about
our customs and cannot do this,
we won't force you, of course.
You'll go your own way,
and we'll find someone
who'll agree to this.
Here we are. This is our house.
What do you think?
It's beautiful.
Come. Let me show you your room.
Look. This is Umut.
Am I going to sleep in here with him?
He's your brother now.
You'll be taking care of him.
But I can't take care of him.
-He scares me.
-Then we'll send you back.
And get another child
who's not scared to take care of him.
Firu! Firu, come!
Come. Let's get on the ship and sail.
Come. Look.
Like this, here.
-Welcome, sir.
-Thanks.
-Let me take that.
-No need. Thanks.
Peyami, dear.
I'm so glad you're here.
Dimitri is not doing well.
You're the only person
who understands him.
Has something happened, Lia?
He hasn't told you?
What happened?
Huh?
Nothing.
By the look of this place,
it's clearly not nothing.
-Esvet.
-Yes?
She's gone.
She left me.
Why?
I don't know.
I did nothing wrong. Believe me.
Nothing?
I'm so in love with her, Peyami.
You have no idea.
Hell, I have no idea.
It hurts so much.
Peyami.
I need her.
I need her love.
I need her kindness.
I desperately need her
to make me a different man.
I have to find her.
I must find her.
I have to find Esvet.
I looked everywhere she might go.
Hospitals, hotels.
But no! It's like she's fallen
off the face of the earth.
Maybe you need to give her
some time, Dimitri.
Time, Peyami?
My wedding's in two weeks. Time?
Okay, but obviously she needs some space.
You don't get it.
I'm in pain, Peyami.
I can't breathe without her.
I have to find her.
She's confused. That's it.
She's confused
because of all this wedding ruckus.
She can't think straight. I know it.
She can't think straight.
I'll find her.
She'll look into my eyes
and remember we were made for each other.
She needs to see me.
Help me find her, Peyami.
Please. You're the only one I can trust.
Peyami, we're blood brothers.
We made a promise to each other.
-Please, Peyami. Please--
-Dimitri!
I'm just asking you to calm down.
Just calm down.
Give her a couple of days.
We'll look for her together
if she doesn't show up.
Okay?
You agree with my father, right?
You think I don't deserve her.
That I don't deserve anyone.
But I'll find her.
I'll roam every street
in Istanbul if I have to,
leave no stone unturned, and find her.
I'll find her,
and I'll remind her who I am.
Didn't Özden tell you
that coming up here is forbidden?
She did, actually, but…
-I--
-You what?
I need to talk to you…
Look, I can't marry Mustafa.
-Marry him?
-Your grandmother.
She said that if I want to stay here,
to look after your dad,
I need to marry him.
I'd love to stay.
I'd love to take care of him,
but I can't do that.
Firuze.
Don't worry.
Of course there's no need for that.
My grandmother is
of another generation and culture.
Clearly this was
a misunderstanding on her part.
I apologize on her behalf.
Just trust me.
Thank you.
I won't bother you anymore.
Wait.
Could you put this on?
Come on.
Here.
You can change here.
It's for a very close friend's fiancée.
It's not done yet.
You don't seem to like it.
No.
It's beautiful.
I'll put this on.
Come.
Let me.
Turn around, please.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Thank you.
The wedding dress.
Would you like to try it on?
Me?
Yes.
Try it. I'm curious how it'll look on you.
Go on.
