Man on Pause (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

A NETFLIX SERIES
I always tried to make money to be happy.
I thought I'd be happier with more money.
But that never happened.
When we bought that house,
my wife was pregnant with our kids.
We were both young.
We needed money for the kids.
I did everything I shouldn't have
and made money out of it.
She gave me two beautiful daughters.
-God bless them.
-God bless them.
Yeah, right.
When we bought that house,
I thought we'd be very happy.
But that never happened.
It was a major disappointment for me.
My wife was an archery instructor,
and I was keen on archery.
Hey! Bring me more whisky.
This will take a while.
Why don't you go inside?
You'll drag this out?
What's it to you?
I'm telling them
how I feel about that place.
You're just selling a house, Timucin.
Just say yes and be done with it.
Stop annoying everyone.
Am I annoying you?
No, not at all.
Please go on.
See?
What do you expect them to say,
Mahmut Timucin?
"Yeah, you're annoying as hell?"
I got myself a Russian broad just
to get rid of Turkish women's nagging.
Sorry, lady.
But turns out, they're worse than ours!
Them and us are very much alike.
Go on, please.
Sahinde
I'm going inside.
She was a good instructor.
Like I said, I was keen on archery.
And that's how we met.
My point is,
why do people make money?
To be happy.
I couldn't be happy.
Then I found that lunatic,
hoping I'd finally be happy.
That failed, too.
Maybe that house will bring you happiness.
Well, we just loved the house.
It's our dream house.
I have a daughter and a son,
they send their regards.
And they loved the house, too.
So we believe it will bring us happiness.
Do I know you?
Excuse me?
Like, I've seen you before.
I've never seen you before.
Whatever.
Money is not important,
we'll figure something out.
Is it true that you have a cabin
and you're trying to sell it?
Yes. Any day now.
Thank God, we have buyers lined up.
We thought it'd be sold by now,
but our realtor died.
Sorry for your loss.
We didn't know him.
Where is it?
What?
The cabin.
-You know Restaurant Manzara?
-Yes.
There's a narrow path going up
next to that.
-Yes.
-It's right at the end of the road.
There's a statue of a boy peeing
at the front door.
I see.
Best of luck, then.
-Best of luck.
-Best of luck.
He's a nice guy.
A very nice guy.
How do we go back?
Sure, sure.
Well, I suggest you get a wiggle on.
I can only stall the other buyers so much.
And honestly,
I'd prefer it if you bought it.
I mean Sure.
At least five degrees cooler
than downtown Marmaris.
So that's how cool it is.
And think about the global warming.
What does science say?
Earth will get about three degrees warmer.
The icebergs will melt,
sea levels will rise.
Maybe one day you could moor your boat
in front of your mountain lodge.
Who can say it's impossible?
All right, talk later.
Keep me updated. Bye.
I want them to pick up the pace, Meryem.
I need moving boxes.
I'll start putting things into boxes.
-Don't dump the empty boxes at the shop.
-Okay.
I'm so excited, Meryem.
Can you imagine? I will swim in the sea,
have orange juice while I'm still wet,
and then go take a shower.
Isn't it great?
Velihan!
Akya, sweetie!
She's not here.
Why are you at home at this hour?
We had an free class, here I am.
Is there someone upstairs?
-No, Mom, what are you talking about?
-Move aside, now.
Son, how old are you?
How old are you, dear?
Ma'am, I need you to calm down.
We were just studying.
Yes, Mom, we were just studying.
Hey, stop getting on my nerves.
I wasn't born yesterday.
Yes, ma'am. We may be young,
but our dreams are big.
Yeah, we decided to grow our business.
To hell with your business!
Aren't you supposed to be at school?
It's impossible to talk to you
with your current mindset.
So let's calm down, then we can have
a more reasonable discussion.
If you were my daughter,
I'd rip your tongue out, you know.
-I rest my case.
-You rest your case.
Get out of here, go!
Mommy, will you please calm down?
I'll deal with you later. Just wait. Out!
I'll come with you, Sila.
You're not going anywhere!
You, get out.
I'm very pleased to meet you.
I wish it wasn't like this,
for I was curious
Knock it off. Knock it off, dear.
I forgot a few things in your room.
God, give me patience!
Son, what do you have there?
Veli, you're coming with me.
-No, Veli's staying here.
-Veli's coming with me.
-No, he's not going anywhere.
-Veli.
Son.
Sorry, Mom.
Fuck you, son.
I'll rip you a new one!
Did you show your boobs
to Ferit, or not? Tell me!
I swear she didn't!
-Answer me!
-Akya, I swear I didn't!
So why is everybody saying that you did?
Maybe they envy our friendship,
I don't know!
-I swear, it's not true.
-Stop talking, damn it.
I'm begging you, please believe me.
-And you're supposed to be my best friend!
-I'd die for you.
I wouldn't be mad if it was someone else.
You're my best friend.
Looks like I can't even trust
my best friend!
Just let me give you a hug, please.
-Did you do it?
-I swear on my life, I didn't!
Okay. Hug me.
My dear friend, trust no one but me.
I was so terrified, Bensu.
I was terrified, too. Me, too.
So glad you two have made up.
Then who showed you her boobs?
I swear, I've never seen
any boobs in my life.
Then who the heck started this rumor? Who?
PADDED BRAS SOLD HERE
KOSTA MEN'S SOCKS
Excuse me! Anybody here?
Shit.
Excuse me!
Coming!
-What's up?
-Good. Just doing some modifications.
-And you?
-Well
I'm a little upset about
what happened that night.
Well, it's okay.
-You're okay, right?
-Yeah. I got home safe and sound.
That's a relief.
-Well, I'm actually here to pay you.
-It wasn't that much, anyway.
No, please. It was more than a few pieces.
So let me calculate the total amount.
Right.
Well, I left the shop in a hurry,
so I don't remember what I took with me.
Hey, it was a lovely night.
Except the finale, of course.
Well
I think 500 would be enough.
Because I don't remember it all.
Come on now.
Please, you brought a lot of pieces.
No, it's good. We can settle it later.
How?
How what?
How do we settle it?
I mean
When you buy other things later.
-Do you accept credit cards?
-Yeah, sure.
Thank you.
-You want to do something?
-Your PIN.
Approved.
Give yourself a break.
Don't let your soul linger in darkness.
Open your windows,
let some air into your mind.
Thank you.
What do you think?
Look
I have a family. And I have two kids.
And I enjoy my life with my family.
Please don't get me wrong.
You're a very pretty girl,
and I'm attracted to you.
But I can't keep secrets from my family.
Please don't get me wrong. Okay?
-Enough! Don't
-Going into turbo mode! Turbo!
-Turbo!
-Hey! Stop it!
Where are you going?
To the store.
We just got here.
Look, what did you tell me?
"It's so hot, let's go for a swim
to cool down." Right?
Now, we swam and cooled down.
What else do you want?
So that's it?
I thought we could hang out a little?
-I have things to do.
-What things? Come on, please.
-You can keep the fun going.
-What am I supposed to do all by myself?
Look, this is going too far.
And I don't want things to go any further.
I have kids!
Okay, stop saying the same things.
You sound like I'm asking you
to get married and have kids.
I just want some fun, don't you see that?
And instead of sitting alone at home,
I'm taking a dip here with you.
What's wrong with that?
-And you took your dip!
-Let's just wait for our swimsuits to dry.
My phone.
My phone! My phone's ringing!
It's just a call.
It's Meryem. She must have sensed it!
She had a hunch about the shit I'm up to!
What do I do? I'm so screwed.
What do I to tell my wife?
Stop. Wow, why are you so panicked?
Just say it was hot, you took a dip.
No big deal.
This marriage is over.
It is over. My family is over.
You know what happened? Because there are
secrets now. It's over, I'm screwed!
Please calm down.
Did we do anything?
No.
You didn't even hold my hand.
So, what's the big deal?
Right? We didn't do anything.
We didn't do anything.
Please calm down and answer the phone.
Just say it was so hot,
you took a dip to cool down. Okay?
Okay.
Take a deep breath.
Hello.
Where are you, Yusuf?
-I'm at the store, darling.
-You're at the store?
Where else can I be?
You think I'm lying to you right now?
-All right, stop yelling.
-I'm not yelling at you, Meryem!
I mean, I have tons of things to do
and you're talking like
I'm having fun at the beach!
-How could you say that?
-What an idiot!
I didn't say anything.
The guy who'll buy the cabin called me
because the store was closed
and he couldn't reach you.
He's at the store? I mean
And I'm not at the store?
Ask him why I'm not at the store, then.
That's ridiculous.
That's what I'm asking here.
Where are you?
I
I'm out shopping for moving boxes, love.
Okay, love.
He's waiting for you outside the store.
Okay, I'll be right there.
-I love you.
-I love you, too, darling.
I love you, too.
I have to go.
-Give me a ride downtown, then.
-Look, this is going too far.
It's a small town. Someone might see us.
Please don't push me.
I'm married.
And I have two kids.
Do you know Climates?
What?
-Climates. It's a movie.
-Never heard of it.
They also ride a scooter in the movie.
Then the girl covers his eyes
while they're still moving.
Can I do the same?
-Do what?
-Can I cover your eyes?
-Why?
-To recreate that movie scene.
And I'm asking you why?
Are you thick? I'm asking
if you want to recreate that scene.
And I'm saying, if you cover my eyes,
we'll fall off.
Yeah, they fall off, too.
That's weird.
I still don't get it.
Neither do I.
At least he's not a rolling stone.
He owns a place
called Yusuf's Haberdashery.
He seems trustworthy, I don't know.
But we should go and see the place first.
Then we'll decide.
I guess it'll be a long ride.
We could hoard groceries
and stay there for a month.
It needs some renovation.
I don't like it. Look at these stairs.
They're all rusty.
Are you nuts? You have a death wish?
You want me to throw you down?
They had it coming.
She shouldn't have covered his eyes.
Sleep tight.
Give yourself a break.
Don't let your soul linger in darkness.
Open your windows,
let some air into your mind.
Come on, wake up.
It's morning now.
Come on, wake up.
Were you dreaming, Yusuf?
Why would I be dreaming?
What?
ONE MONTH LATER
Fadime? How about this one?
-It's for the yard, right?
-Yeah, because we'll use the yard a lot.
-We'll spend most of our time in the yard.
-Sit and see if it's comfy.
Feels good.
Come, sit with me.
So?
It's fine. And it's comfy. I'm not sure.
So Any updates?
No.
To hell with him.
No. I meant the paraglider.
What was his name?
You mean Yamaç?
His name is Yamaç?
To hell with him, too.
What happened with him?
He wimped out. Jerk!
He saw my face like that and said,
"I can't deal with him."
He said Wait.
"Love is a safe haven,
and this place is like haunted territory."
He fucking left.
-To where?
-No idea.
He left Marmaris
fearing Halit might find him.
Let me tell you something.
You're lucky you didn't have his baby,
or you'd be screwed.
But I really wanted a baby.
I was so happy that I missed my period.
Still, you should be glad
you didn't have his baby.
Were you going to raise it
without a father?
-He's not around, is he?
-He's not.
God damn him.
He's not even going to the showroom.
-Did he call you?
-No, I hope he won't.
-How about you?
-I don't know.
I'm okay, Fadime. I don't want to sound
like I'm bragging, but
We're okay. The house's been
good for us so far.
Remember, men are
the archenemies of happiness.
They go behind your back
in your happiest moment.
No, Yusuf is not that kind of man.
No, my brother is different in that way.
-But you know his past
-Okay, I know that.
Let's not go into that now.
Hey, I think this set is nice.
You should buy it.
Yusuf's acting weird.
Where's your boss?
-Mr. Halit?
-Yes.
I'm afraid he's not in.
-Can I take a message?
-Where's his office?
Over there.
Hey, ma'am!
Ma'am, wait a second!
He hasn't come here in a month.
You have a message for him?
-Where is he, then?
-We don't know. His phone's off.
If he calls,
tell him Sahinde's looking for him.
And if he asks who Sahinde is,
tell him it's the woman he fucked.
That's outrageous. He can't just fuck
a woman and then let her hang out to dry.
Am I wrong?
-You're right.
-Save it!
Sneaky bastards!
You're all sneaky bastards!
You should know better!
All of you should know better!
Screw you all!
The person you've called
can't be reached at the moment.
Who is that twat?
Man, just move, it's late!
You want me to release this?
You couldn't find a better place to drink?
You're lucky they didn't kick your ass.
What happened to your hands?
You were in a fight?
I
made a mistake.
A big mistake.
What did you do?
I beat my wife up.
She begged me not to do it.
But I beat her up anyway.
She was pregnant.
Not yours?
She has a lover?
Nasty stuff.
But I don't think you're any different.
I'm not.
I'm not even shit.
I'm a disgusting man.
Stop dwelling on that!
Should we put some music on?
-Sure.
-Turkish or foreign?
Knock yourself out.
Turkish could be melancholic.
Let's go with foreign.
Turkish music is better.
Yeah, this is good.
I'm sending it.
You shouldn't send it.
Don't you know how Dad is, Ahu?
Think about him, if not yourself.
You know what he did to the other guy.
I'm not doing anything.
He hasn't even touched me yet.
And what, flirting is off-limits now?
What's the big deal?
He's married. He's got two kids.
Isn't that enough?
You think I'm immoral?
Definitely.
There, I sent it.
I don't give a shit.
Organic fabric is white
as cotton is the most natural fabric.
People are reminded of purity
and cleanliness when they see white.
So I designed an all-white store.
Here are the images.
Right.
Of course, the cost of this
Veli and I've been working on the logo.
And I think it's awesome.
Yeah, Dad, it's wonderful.
It's got allure.
Yeah, it's great,
but from my point of view,
the cost of it
Please let me show you
our logo alternatives.
Right. Very nice, indeed.
Great, really great. Good job, guys.
Excuse me.
-Please.
-Please.
Right. So, where was I?
The cost.
Well, we need to draft
a cost plan, too, Ms. Sila.
Nice!
Exactly, Mr. Veli.
It'd be great if we could arrange
a meeting once we have the cost plan.
Let's just keep clearing out the store,
and following your approval,
our team will start renovating it.
Yes. I mean Like I said,
we already talked about that thing.
So, we'll see about that,
and do that thing.
Exactly. See you.
See you around, kids.
Take care of yourselves.
It was great!
This is our first job together,
and we landed it!
Business world really
makes your head spin. Care for a beer?
We're 15.
Right.
-So let's have some ice cream.
-Okay.
KOSTA
MEN'S SOCKS
I'm in big trouble.
Do you love me?
No, Yusuf.
Come on, say it.
Can you guess his reply?
"I'm married"?
Or, "I have kids"?
We'll get in trouble, Ahu.
I'm scared that Dad will find out.
Forget about Dad.
How do you think he'll reply?
Hello, honey.
Hello, my baby girl, how are you?
I miss you very, very much, too.
Please wait just a little bit more.
We will see each other soon, I promise.
Mommy has such a great surprise for you.
Boris?
Honey, I have to go.
Tell him I will call you guys later.
I love you very, very much.
-Who's that guy?
-Dad, don't be silly. What guy?
Who are you texting?
-I swear, I'm not texting anyone.
-Don't lie to me. Give me your phone.
Dad, you don't believe me?
-Give me your phone!
-Enough, Mahmut. She said she isn't.
Don't cause unrest on a holy night.
Holy night? How do you even know
about our holy nights?
Don't say that, love.
Last year, I even fasted.
You're not even Muslim. Why do you fast?
-I'm a Christian.
-So?
But it's a holy night.
Why do you care about our holy nights?
Stop laughing. Don't change the subject.
The phone!
-Drop it, it's a holy night.
-What do you care?
Dad, I swear, whoever told you that,
it's not true. Please trust us.
Asu, stay out of this.
Let me see your phone.
I may be a Christian,
but how do you think I know Noah's pud?
-Noah's pudding!
-Noah's pudding!
The dish you make's called Noah's pudding.
Pud is what you chase after.
That was rude.
Watch your words with your mom.
This pud chaser's not my mom,
remember that.
Look, Ahu, I'll kill you.
Don't forget that we have a mom, Dad.
Stay out of it. The phone!
-You want it?
-Yeah, I do, give it to me!
Will you apologize
if you can't find anything?
I will. Give it to me.
What's wrong with texting?
It's not like I'm leaving
my wife and kids. No big deal.
It's just a text.
What's the big deal?
I'll text her.
I LOVE YOU
AND FUCK YOU
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
What the hell?
What's going on?
What the hell does that mean?
What's going on?
Here's the estimate. If you approve it,
we should start the renovation tonight.
Yusuf, these boxes won't be enough.
What's happening?
Yusuf, what are you doing?
Are you okay?
-I'm going to find that twat!
-I'm coming with you.
Didn't you delete the texts?
I deleted them all.
I guess that idiot just texted me.
I'll deal with you later.
We forgot the gun.
I'll put an arrow in that twat's ass!
-Hello.
-Hey, where are you?
What's going on? What the hell was that?
My dad knows everything, he saw your text.
Lay low for a while,
or bad things could happen.
Hey, what happened? What did we even do?
Why is he coming after me?
I'm a fucking moron.
I rushed headlong into trouble.
I'm a fucking moron.
He's the owner of Yusuf's Haberdashery
in downtown.
I'll type it in here to locate it.
-Hello.
-Where are you?
-At the store.
-Get out of there!
My dad found out and is on his way there!
Let him come. What do you expect me to do?
-Tell your dad I'm from around here.
-Just listen to me! Close the store!
Let him come.
Bring it on.
Look!
It found him. Just look at him.
See how he's gawking at it?
I had no idea that this thing
could be so useful.
Look. See how he's gawking?
Isn't he the guy
Yeah, I think I know this guy.
The guy who wants to buy the house!
Exactly.
The drone's got you,
you have nowhere to run.
Hey!
That asshole smashed my drone!
I'll kill you, motherfucker!
I don't understand
why you have to go to the cabin this late.
It's really complicated.
Something happened.
I mean
Honestly, I should've seen this coming.
God damn me. I hate myself!
Yusuf, tell me already. What happened?
I
I messed up, Meryem.
I didn't ask anyone.
Not that I could, anyway.
Well, it wasn't my fault. I was seduced.
Please don't cry.
I'm not crying.
I just sniffled, because I caught a cold.
I have no idea what you're saying.
I fell for a girl.
What?
Actually, she fell for me.
I mean, I told her over and over.
I said, "Look, I have kids, and a wife."
But she didn't stop coming onto me.
She didn't listen to me.
Yusuf, what are you telling me?
You have someone else in your life?
I swear on my life that there's no one!
So?
I swear on my life that I didn't even
touch her hand. I swear on my life.
So?
Her dad's chasing me with a drone.
With what?
A drone.
What's a drone?
Drone, that flying thing with a camera.
He's chasing me with that.
But I smashed it, don't worry.
As it turns out, he's a real badass.
Then he started coming after me.
He said he'll kill me.
I mean, it's so messed up. So I ran.
I hopped on my motorbike,
headed to the cabin right now.
But I didn't do anything.
Believe me, please.
I swear, I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Hey, Meryem
Either you divorce me
or help me.
Meryem?
