A NETFLIX SERIES
Want to have some fun?
What?
Do you want to have some fun?
Like what?
You said you were bored.
Yes.
You want to have some fun or not?
Look, it's an important decision.
You must think it through
before making up your mind.
I did.
You've been married for a long time.
Sometimes a marriage can go off the rails.
We had our share of that, too.
Right, Yusuf?
We sorted it out by staying calm.
We didn't fight fire with fire,
we stayed positive.
I mean, we always reflected on
how we could lick our wounds.
But you have kids.
Sweetheart, you can sort that out, too.
How are things with the doctor?
-He doesn't go to the doctor, blames me.
-He'll come around, don't worry.
I'm asking you as your elder,
please don't make any rash decisions.
Halit is a reasonable guy.
If you want, I can talk to him
about seeing a doctor.
-Fag.
-Dear God!
He said it was a joke! Didn't he, Yusuf?
He said he was joking.
I swear on my life, he was joking,
I was just as startled when I first heard.
Come on, don't you know how Halit is?
He's a sentimental guy.
He has an artistic soul, he's tactful.
He sometimes goes overboard with jokes.
-Don't we all, damn it?
-You guys want a beer?
-Beer? Now?
-Happy hour.
-Why do you need happy hour?
-You do it all the time!
Fine, let her have one.
A kid.
That's what lies beneath this.
Women want kids, Yusuf.
Any woman lacking creativity in her life
wants to keep
being creative by having a baby.
I'll have a beer, too.
What?
What the hell are you talking about?
Say that again.
Women come from a creative lineage.
So, they feel the urge to be creators.
If not, life becomes unbearable,
just like that.
-I think it's Halit.
-I agree.
-You want a glass?
-No, I'm good.
Now
Halit's a wealthy man.
To be honest, he's got plenty of assets.
And when you don't have kids,
the alimony thing is
What are you talking about?
That's totally unrelated to this.
I'll have a beer, too.
It's okay, we can share this one,
don't go. Have a sip.
I'm pregnant.
See?
That's great. I mean, right now,
I'm very happy to hear that, yeah.
A kid, that's great news.
Let me take that beer.
-Because you're pregnant.
-I think it's all good now.
Because a kid is like a flower,
a butterfly, and joy for a family.
When you have kids, all problems go away.
It's not Halit's.
-So, she never told you about it.
-She didn't.
Oh, dear.
Things are about to get real nasty.
-I don't think we should tell him.
-I agree.
It's not our problem, it's theirs.
We shouldn't be involved.
And how do we do that?
Yusuf, Fadime is your sister.
-She shouldn't have slept around!
-But she's fallen in love!
To hell with her love!
This is not right. God damn it!
She's a married woman.
You should think twice
before doing anything.
It was in my fortune.
What was?
In my fortune reading, she saw a guy
lying in a coffin. We thought it was you.
Oh, God, I can feel it,
terrible things are about to happen.
CHAMELLA
HEALTH AND REHAB CENTER
Wow. Really, just wow.
Bro, you look amazing. Amazing!
Amazing. You look really good.
Yeah, I'm fine, thank you, guys.
Well, these are for you.
You shouldn't have.
Those days are over.
-Thank God.
-Thank goodness.
I had a dream last night.
-I hope it was a good one.
-I hope so.
Here it goes
I'm on the edge of a cliff.
It's about to rain soon. I look down.
If I fall, I'd be smashed into oblivion.
And I'm naked.
I am stark naked.
Fadime is standing before me.
I hold out my hand.
As if I'm saying "Save me."
I look at her, asking for help,
but she doesn't help me.
I look at her.
She doesn't reach out.
I keep looking
and looking.
-Dreams are the opposite of reality.
-Indeed. Always.
I treated my wife so badly.
I did some really bad stuff.
I reflected on that all night.
For example,
I couldn't give her a child.
She asked me to see a doctor,
said she wanted a baby, but I didn't go.
I said, "What's a man got to do
with the doctor?"
The first thing I'm going to do
when I get out of here
is change everything.
Yusuf, my man. Meryem, my dear.
What a great family you guys have become.
You got kids and all, I really envy you.
Bro, believe me,
Fadime said the exact same thing.
We talked to her today.
She said, "I miss my Halit so much."
-She really said that?
-I swear, she did. I have my witness here.
She said everything needed to change.
She's right, change is necessary.
I can't go on without Fadime.
My other half is Fadime.
I checked myself into this rehab
and got treatment just for her.
I can't go on if she leaves me.
I'll blow my brains out.
And not just her,
I'll kill whoever she's with.
Well, bro, why do you say that?
Am I wrong?
Life is beautiful when we're together.
It's beautiful with you. It's beautiful
with Meryem. Why? Because we're a family.
If everything goes south,
we all go down.
Don't say that.
That's not right at all.
If you've done something wrong, you should
be the one facing the consequences.
-Right, Yusuf?
-You're right, yeah.
If my sister's done something wrong,
I don't think it's fair
that I get punished for it.
Because I didn't do anything wrong.
-Right?
-Indeed.
I don't see it that way.
If I'm going down,
I'm taking everyone with me.
I moved the picture to the left,
and put the price on the right.
I used a cute and cheerful font.
Let me show you.
What do you think?
ORGANIC PADDED BRA
75 LIRAS
I think it's great.
Hey, the model's breasts
look somewhat phony.
You have another model?
No. My dad had that custom made.
I emphasized "organic"
because natural products are trendy.
You should put a sign in the display
that says, "100% organic."
Right, I need to talk to my dad about it.
Want me to create a logo
for "100% organic"?
That'd be great.
Thank you so much, you've been so helpful.
Don't mention it. I like helping you out.
Want to be our model?
You think it's someone we know?
I don't think so.
Someone that discreet
wouldn't risk herself.
I wonder who it is.
-We can follow her.
-We should tail her?
-Shall I call her to ask what she's doing?
-Bust her?
Maybe she's with that guy as we speak.
And Halit's not at home.
-Come on, let's go.
-Don't be silly, Yusuf.
What would you do if he's there?
You are a coward of a man,
you'd have a heart attack.
True.
Sometimes my heart gives me the jitters.
It's the fear.
Right.
You know me so well.
That's why I'm in love with you.
And me with you.
My love.
My darling.
Just call her and ask what she's doing.
Dad?
A word, please?
What do you think?
Good. I think it's nice.
-Good. I'll put it on the website.
-Yeah, do that.
Yeah. Good job.
No, I didn't do this.
Then who did?
My girlfriend.
Your girlfriend?
Yeah
Do you use protection?
What the hell, Dad?
I'm your dad.
It's natural that I'm worried about you.
-Did you guys do it here?
-No, Dad, stop it.
-At her place?
-Jeez, Dad!
Yeah, keep your secrets.
It's secrets and enigmas
with you all, damn it.
What if she comes to you one day
and says she's pregnant?
You have any idea
how much an abortion costs?
You think I make that much?
You think my business is that good?
All you think about is humping!
Just sleeping around, here and there!
What an amazing life!
And we'll be the ones
dealing with your problems.
I have a heart condition, a weak heart.
I could drop dead any day now!
Dad, calm down, please. I'm just 15.
I'm telling you that I have
a house on the beach.
I'm one step away from the sea.
My net worth is about 2,5 million liras.
And all you could say was
a large condo in town.
I asked if you had anything else,
you mumbled.
-We have a car.
-What make?
-Volvo.
-And what year?
It's
Stop mumbling!
You don't know what year it is?
1996.
No. Junk.
How many square feet is the condo?
1,700.
Gross or net?
Net.
Dude, for the last time,
is it gross or net floor space?
-Gross.
-Good, that's better.
How old is your dad?
Sixty-eight.
No, it won't work with you.
Your dad's still young.
Actually, he had cancer twice.
Prostate cancer.
We thought he was a goner,
he bounced back.
Any other conditions?
No.
-Does he work out?
-He does.
-Nope. He won't die. No.
-I swear, he will! He's scrawny.
-And on borrowed time!
-Okay, I have to go.
Akya! But I'm in love with you!
-Just go away. It's the end of the road.
-Wait, don't go!
You're penniless.
I'm calling her.
Yeah, call her.
-Yes?
-What are you doing?
What do you think? I'm at home.
What are you doing all by yourself?
Come join us.
No, I'm good. Thank you.
What's your plan for tomorrow?
You want to go shopping?
Tomorrow?
-Tomorrow won't do. I have errands to run.
-What errands?
Just errands.
See? Now I'm curious.
What time you'll be running them?
I'll leave home around 9:00.
Cool, we'll talk, then.
Good luck with your errands.
You, too. Thanks.
MARMARİS YUVA RESIDENCE'S GARAGE
-It's too hot in here.
-Because of the light.
But we need light.
The texture should be visible.
The product won't show itself
without shadows.
Could you hurry up?
-All right, I'm ready. Are you ready?
-I am.
How about some music?
-Velihan, hurry up, already!
-Okay, it won't take long.
Take a deep breath.
-Don't shoot my face.
-Don't worry.
Close your eyes.
Breathe in.
And out.
Breathe in.
And out.
You're doing great.
You're just like a model.
Breathe in.
And out.
Breathe
What's going on here?
-Dad, I'm working with a model.
-To hell with your model! What's this?
I'll be going now.
But, Mr. Yusuf, I'd like to say that
I just became your model to support
the improvement of your shop.
-And this was my first job, anyway.
-Just leave, dear. Go!
Son, are you nuts?
What the hell? I send you to school
so you become a decent man.
But you're shooting porn here!
Dad, it's not porn. We were just doing
a photo shoot for the website.
I know what's going through your head.
I swear, just a photo shoot.
See for yourself.
This is outrageous! I want you to delete
those photos right now.
-Come on, Dad.
-Now!
What if her dad sees these?
Wouldn't he ask
what we did to his daughter?
Wouldn't he raid our store?
That's what I'd do!
And he'd kick my ass, not yours!
I have a heart condition,
don't you know that, son? I'm sick!
Fine, deleted.
Look.
Good for you, son.
Good for you, son. You're a good boy.
What would I do
if you weren't such a good boy?
There are kids beating up their dads.
I'm sorry, Dad.
And tell her you deleted her photos.
I will. I'm off to school,
want me to clean up here before I leave?
No, I'll do it. Have a good school day.
-Dad?
-Yes?
I love you.
And I love you, son.
Wow. Oh, my beautiful children.
We raised them so well.
-I didn't deserve that. It's nonsense.
-Totally.
-Akya.
-Nonsense.
There he is.
He kept staring at you during class. Why?
Akya, wait, please.
What?
Just go.
I thought a lot
after we talked last night.
I asked my dad, quarreled with him.
I said, "This is how
you prepare me for life?"
I yelled, screamed.
So? Why are you telling me this?
-He showed me this.
-What's that?
It's a deed for a land.
He's been hiding it from us.
Three acres of land in Selimiye district.
When he was young, Tercüman Newspaper was
giving out plots for coupons.
He collected coupons for years.
He never cared about it much,
because it was on some remote hill.
Let me see.
It's just near the power lines.
So, an energy farm is likely to be built.
What does that mean?
To turn it into a solar energy farm,
you need to have power lines.
A farm that can produce electricity
by placing solar panels.
And using the power lines,
you sell it to the state
and electricity is as valuable as gold.
Elon Musk.
Tesla.
-Darling!
-Baby!
-Thanks.
-Enjoy.
So?
I can't make ends meet, Mahmut.
Everything's so expensive.
Even grocery shopping costs a fortune.
And the plastic bags are gone.
Two cloth bags, barely full,
it costs 1,000 liras!
What did I even buy
that it cost 1,000 liras?
Mosquito repellent is 45 liras!
But I need three, because I want
to put them in the girls' rooms, too.
And, bam! That's 135 liras!
I can buy 20 liters of gas for 135 liras.
What the hell? And they last only 45 days.
-One lira a day. When you have three
-Hey, wait a second.
How much do I pay you every month?
Twenty-five thousand liras.
Twenty-five thousand liras.
-Do you pay taxes?
-Why would I pay taxes?
-Twenty-five thousand liras, scot-free.
-"Scot-free!" Don't talk to me like that.
You know how much the girls need
every month? They wear designer clothes.
I'm going back to Muğla tomorrow.
Let the girls stay with you,
and see how much they spend a month.
Give me the money from the beach house,
or increase the alimony to 50,000 liras.
Fifty thousand?
Or I'll screw you big time.
I won't leave you alone.
I can't give you that much, Sahinde.
I mean, I'm not making that much
to pay you 50,000 liras a month.
So give me the house. I'll put the money
out at interest, then 25,000 will suffice.
I swear, I can't.
You know how I live. I'm sorry.
Tell that to the broads you're fucking.
I don't buy it!
I'll fuck your mama and you,
you fucking bitch!
Svetlana, stop, what the hell?
He set up lights, too.
I doubt he'll ever graduate.
Right.
Hi, this is Ahu, one of the twins.
We were at your shop the other day.
Hi.
I remember.
Your account looks good.
It's nice to see
things like that in the boonies.
Thank you.
Thanks.
We can order online, right?
Sure.
Sure.
See you, then.
See you then.
Halit?
Did I startle you?
What are you doing here?
I missed you. You didn't visit me,
so I'm here to check on you.
You're going back, right?
Should I go?
Of course.
Your treatment's not over yet.
Let's not go back to square one.
-You have any beer?
-Halit. Please.
Why didn't you visit me?
-They told me not to.
-Who did?
The doctor.
-Which doctor?
-How would I know which doctor?
They all look the same to me.
Who was that?
The guy in the photo.
You're talking about
You mean my paragliding instructor?
Can I take a look at his photo?
Hey, what the hell?
Here! Take a look!
Look! You've never trusted me, anyway!
Just look at it!
Darling, you got me all wrong.
Why would I get you wrong?
You think I don't know
what you're thinking?
I'm sorry.
It's all good now?
You apologized and it's all good.
I couldn't make you happy. I get that.
I'm a shitty guy.
But that's over, I promise.
I quit drinking.
I went into rehab for you.
I promise, I can change myself.
Look how my brother Yusuf
has changed himself.
I can do that, too.
I can shake all the vileness off me.
-You don't believe me?
-No.
-Please believe me.
-I've heard this so many times, Halit.
And I want a divorce.
I was waiting for your discharge
to tell you, but since you brought it up,
just let me go.
-I can't leave you.
-I left you a long time ago.
Hi, I want to buy a few things.
Could you, by any chance, bring them over?
Sure.
I want something sexy. Like a garter.
Or even see-through lingerie.
Top or bottom?
Just bring everything you have.
Send me your number,
I'll send you my location.
Why did you call him over? It's late.
We could buy them tomorrow.
What's the rush?
You said you were bored.
We'll have some fun.
Have fun with a married guy?
Didn't you see the ring on his finger?
I like married guys.
They're the most hassle-free types.
I'll be in my room. Keep me out of it.
Don't come running to me
if you get in trouble.
When did you become so boring?
I'll just have some fun with him.
What's the harm in that?
That's how it always starts.
Then you get me in trouble, too.
Fine, just hang in your room,
I'll deal with him.
MOSQUITO REPELLENT SPRAY
Where does she live, Mahmut? In Nice?
In Paris?
Why's 25,000 is not enough for her?
I mean, this is Muğla, damn it!
How expensive could it be?
-The minimum wage is 2,500 liras.
-That's enough, stop it.
If you give her the money
from the house, I'm gone.
What am I to do?
She says she can't make ends meet.
And you won't divorce her.
It's the first time I've seen
a married man paying alimony to his wife.
Since she's getting money from you,
she should blow you.
Watch your mouth.
She's the mother of my children.
-She gives you blowjobs?
-Stop it.
-She does or not?
-None of your business.
If I got as much money everytime,
I'd definitely give blowjobs!
What are you doing?
You know how much it is?
We don't have any left at home.
What am I supposed to do?
-Who is it?
-Yusuf's Haberdashery.
-Good evening.
-Good evening.
Here, miss.
Our delivery boxes are still
in production, so I brought them in this.
-Next time, hopefully.
-Hopefully.
Come on in.
No, I'll wait here. You go ahead
and try them on, after that
No, come on.
You came all the way here. Please.
All right, I'll come in. I mean, why not?
Wow, it's a huge house!
It's my dad's.
I'm not going to lie,
I wish my dad had the same.
-What can I get you?
-Nothing, I'll leave soon, anyway.
-Beer?
-Beer. Okay. Thank you.
Hey, if you don't have beer,
water is fine, too.
I'm not her.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, sorry. You are twins. Sorry.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
-Identical or fraternal?
-You know the difference?
-No.
-Why do you ask?
I don't know. Just chatting, you know.
-You want a glass?
-No, I'm good, thanks.
Call me Ahu.
Okay.
-I'll try this on.
-Sure, whatever you say.
Look here.
Look here.
You missed out on evolution?
And you're stuck here all alone.
China.
Is this okay?
-Looks really good on you.
-So, I'll buy it.
Sure, whatever you say.
But, of course, these have laces on them,
so it's impossible to use cotton.
Did I ask?
My bad again.
I'm very sorry. I always forget
that you're twins. Forgive me.
But you look like doppelgangers.
-Good God!
-And this one?
Awesome. Good job. Hey, would you
like to model for our shop?
-Because everything looks good on you.
-Sure.
You can take pictures.
I was kidding.
I mean, my kids are already doing that.
A mannequin won't do.
It doesn't look real. It's fake.
You need a real model.
-Fake, right?
-Yeah, fake.
Photograph this and see the difference.
-Do you know why I like you?
-I don't.
You have business acumen.
You're the only man here
who's aware of online sales.
This town hasn't changed
since my childhood.
Nobody here wants to do
something different.
That's why I want to help you.
Take pictures.
Thank you.
Small towns are small on courage, too.
Go on.
Sure, I will.
It'd be good, of course.
Just earlier today, I had to fire a model.
Why?
Well, I don't know,
it just didn't feel right.
Right.
Right.
Take a deep breath.
Okay, press.
-Press harder.
-I am, but it just won't focus.
-Okay. You took it?
-Okay. Nope. I couldn't.
-Hang on.
-Because it won't focus.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
-Did you take it?
-No, I can't press it.
I'm losing my fucking mind, just press it!
Ahu, what the hell are you doing?
Come over here!
I swear, I didn't do anything!
I have two kids!
Am I talking to you?
Sorry.
-What are you doing?
-What am I doing?
Just let him go.
Stop playing with people's feelings.
Please put some clothes on.
You're walking around in your bra
in front of a strange man.
I'm modeling here.
Screw your modeling!
You're trying to seduce him!
So what?
I thought you'd be in your room.
You keep coming here. Curious much?
I'm checking on you
because you're scaring me.
I'm begging you, send him away.
You'll get both of us in trouble. Please.
Fine, I'm sending him away.
-It's Dad!
-It's Dad!
Dad's here! Get out of here! Now!
I didn't do anything!
I just delivered an order.
-Please, I have two kids.
-Just fuck off!
-Okay, I'm leaving.
-Hey, not from there! Beat it, move!
Where's my top?
Someone's in there.
Don't think the worst.
Maybe it's their friend.
They didn't tell me about it.
Who the fuck is this?
Welcome, Daddy.
Who else is here?
No one, Dad.
Don't lie to me!
-There's a scooter outside!
-Good evening, dear.
Your dad's a little upset.
-Is this her?
-I am your stepmother.
Hello, Daddy.
Who's in the house?
I asked you a question!
Who's in the house? Answer me!
Well
Who's that?
-We ordered something, Daddy!
-Fuck your "Daddy"!
-I'm coming with you!
-I'd be surprised if you didn't.
-You're driving.
-Okay.
-Let's shoot him in the head.
-Step on it!
I'll blow his brains out!
-What the hell? Give me that!
-I'll shoot him.
-Give me that! You're going to kill him!
-I'll blow his brains out!
Give me that! Are you crazy?
You're going to kill him.
Step on it, come on!
-Where the hell is he?
-I have no fucking idea.
Yes, dear?
Fadime? Why do you sound like that?
-My dear, what's wrong?
-Help.
Oh, my God! Fadime, what happened to you?

Where the hell is he?
-Yes, Mom?
-I have to go. You set the dinner table.
You called me for this?
-I need to go, Akya.
-Fine, see you later.
Hello?
Where are you?
-I dozed off.
-Get here, now. It's important.
-What is it?
-I'm in a rush, I have to go. Hurry up.
Okay.
Dude, move, it's late!
Who's that twat?
Man, just move, it's late!
Just fucking move!
Jerk! Enough of this!
Dude, don't you see the traffic?
Just move!
Fuck off!
You want me to release this?
