A NETFLIX SERIES
I love these solar panels.
You get the power from the sun
without paying a dime. Isn't it great?
Whoa, 24 hours for a mini fridge.
Look, a LED TV for about eight hours,
a satellite receiver, also eight hours.
I don't need a damn satellite receiver.
Who uses them anymore?
Unlimited cell phone charging.
-And how much is that?
-That's 6,400.
Nice. No more paying bills.
It's yours to use forever.
Exactly.
-Fuck, man! What the hell?
-What is it?
If you install 12 panels,
you can light up
12 LED bulbs for eight hours.
A large fridge up to 24 hours.
A satellite receiver
Shove it up your ass! Now, get this.
Washing machine or dishwasher
three times a week.
Two HP submersible pump
Why would I need a submersible pump?
Inverter air conditioner
up to four hours a day.
What's that?
Dude, isn't this great?
What's up?
Is that a car on the cliff?
What? Where?
What's wrong?
Just a second.
Ferit, what are you doing?
Just a second.
-Fuck! Do you see that?
-I do. You think there's someone inside?
-Hello? Anybody down there?
-Hello? Is there anyone in the car?
Akya?
Halit?
Akya, sweetie.
ONE DAY EARLIER
Kill him with an arrow. No evidence.
Arrow is the best.
That's what you get
for fucking a young girl.
Hey. Watch your mouth.
We're discussing my daughter.
Am I wrong? Didn't he fuck your daughter?
Watch your mouth. Shut up.
You're right.
This is all new to me
because I don't have kids.
If they fucked my daughter,
I'd fucking kill them!
Just drop it, will you?
Sure, she's a hot piece of ass.
Hey, what's it to you?
I'm sorry, Mahmut. I just get so angry.
It's their mom's fault.
She didn't raise them properly.
Will you shut up?
Am I wrong, Mahmut?
-They fucked every man in Marmaris.
-That's enough!
Damn! Just shut up for a minute!
Can you do that? Can you just shut up?
Just for a minute. It's hard for you
to shut up even for a minute, right?
Just knock me up, Mahmut!
Spread your seed inside of me.
I want to have a baby with you.
I couldn't be a mother.
I don't know those emotions.
Teach me how to be a mother.
Svetlana.
I know you have a kid. Don't lie to me.
Come on. Go, go.
-Thanks, man. Just wait here.
-All right.
Hey, Halit!
Halit, where are you?
It's Meryem!
Halit!
Halit?
Halit?
Meryem? Meryem!
Halit?
What the hell's this?
Don't ask. Things got a little complicated
for me. And I can't think straight.
So I became a recluse.
-You're okay, right?
-Well, isn't it obvious?
What's up?
You can't imagine the trouble we're in.
Or rather, Yusuf's in.
How did you get here?
I came by boat. It's right over there.
Don't fret.
You know Yusuf is like a brother to me.
I couldn't live
if anything happened to him.
What's the problem?
He's cheating on me.
What's wrong?
-Anxiety.
-What?
The jitters. I'm losing it.
I'll be right back.
It runs in their blood!
His sister is just like him.
Throughout our marriage,
I never cheated on her.
But what did she do?
If this is not a good time,
I'll figure something else out.
-I'm here because I have no one else.
-No, I'll be right there.
Water makes me feel good, you know.
I'll be right out.
Who's the girl?
I'm not sure. He said a girl seduced him.
How long's it been going on?
I don't know.
He said her father was after him.
He swore that they didn't even hold hands.
That's not cheating, then.
-You think that's the truth?
-My Yusuf wouldn't lie.
Right. He's a terrible liar.
He starts panicking,
can't keep things straight.
He just can't.
No freaking way!
If anyone harms a hair on Yusuf's head,
I'll bump them off! No freaking way!
-Where's he now?
-Headed to the cabin, the guy's after him.
Mayhem is inevitable, I can tell.
I'll get my gun.
Damn, another anxiety attack.
Are you going to dive in?
No. Don't worry, I've got this.
Maybe this was a mistake.
Hello.
Halit's on his way up there. Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Once I'm off the hook,
I'll always be around you.
I'll come back even if you kick me out.
Men are the archenemies of happiness.
They go behind your back
in your happiest moment.
I was very happy, Yusuf.
I was happy because you were.
And look what you did.
Have I never made you happy?
I have to give it to you,
you made me very happy.
I'm sorry.
Never do that again.
God damn me.
No more, Meryem.
You know I can't live without you.
I'm nothing without you.
And that's why I'm heartbroken.
I feel like I betrayed myself.
Please don't do this again. Look
My heart's not what it used to be.
Every time it hurts more.
-If you love me, never do that again.
-I won't.
I promise, I'll never do it again.
-The cabin. You know Restaurant Manzara?
-Yes.
There's a narrow path going up
next to that.
It's right at the end of the road.
There's a statue of a boy peeing
at the front door.
There's a car outside. Maybe it's Halit?
No, he can't have arrived that fast.
Is it him?
All right, I have to go.
I'm a changed man, Fadime.
I'm not the old Halit anymore!
I just switched on this fucking phone
to speak with you.
At other times it's switched off.
I don't use technology.
I can't hear you well.
Could you turn the music down?
I switched myself off.
-I'm on listening mode!
-The phone!
I secluded myself, you hear me?
I dealt with you in my mind,
and with that asshole!
You can file for divorce now!
Turn left.
I don't want you anymore!
You can have the flat
and whatever else you like!
I'm done with worldly possessions,
you hear me?
-What? Can't hear you, music is too loud.
-I'm seeing someone.
-I'm very happy with her.
-What?
I'm saying that I'm seeing someone!
-I'm over you and that asshole!
-Right, got it.
You can file for divorce. I can't deal
with all that stupid paperwork.
-Stop repeating the same things.
-You know what I did?
I secluded myself!
Worldly possessions are for this world!
-You're a fucking moron.
-What?
-Good for you.
-I ditched my phone and everything!
Turn left.
It's all monkey business, you hear me?
Fucking hell!
Here's the plan. I'll lure him outside
and you shoot him in the ass.
How?
I saw it in a movie.
Wait here.
What are you going to do?
Watch me.
Fuck! Svetlana!
Svetlana, look at me!
Look at me, Svetlana!
Look at me, Svetlana! Svetlana!
Look at me, Svetlana.
Yusuf!
Yusuf!
Scoot over!
Sahinde
What the hell have you done?
You're free now.
Thanks to me, you're free.
How could you do this, damn it?
-How could you do this?
-I can't live without you, Mahmut.
I can't do it.
Fuck that bitch. She's Russian,
no one will come looking for her.
Sure they will.
Don't worry, love.
We'll get through this together.
We'll bury her,
we'll figure something out.
I'd do anything as long as you're with me.
You
You're crazy.
You're insane.
What happened?
Someone died.
Someone died? It was
in my fortune reading. Who died?
No idea. I couldn't see their face.
I guess it was a woman.
-A woman?
-Yeah, she fell off the roof.
Off the roof?
-What was she doing on the roof?
-How would I know?
I guess she blocked the chimney,
because the stove spilled smoke.
That's weird. Are you sure?
There was smoke everywhere. So I got out.
They were shooting arrows.
Arrows were whizzing past me.
And I ran back inside.
I don't know,
maybe they shot her by mistake.
-With an arrow?
-Yes, with an arrow.
The person you've called
can't be reached at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Recalculating route.
Fuck you and your route!
You wouldn't cry like this if I died.
Stop crying!
That bitch is dead, good riddance.
Why did you kill her, damn it? Why?
Don't touch me!
Because I love you.
Hey, stop crying. Let's get this over with
before anyone sees us.
I
Come on, let's bag her up.
She's heavy.
What have you been feeding her?
I'd do the same. If I had a man like you,
I'd eat, drink, enjoy myself.
-How much does she weigh?
-How would I know?
Don't be sad.
They say Russians lose their charm
after 30. How old was she? Thirty
Twenty-seven.
They sag. In three years,
you wouldn't have stomached her, anyway.
Come on.
And we're done.
What do we do?
I say we throw her off the cliff.
It'll be 104 degrees in Marmaris tomorrow,
hot as hell. She'll rot away quickly.
Hello?
-Good evening.
-Good evening.
-I'd like to speak with Mr. Yusuf.
-Okay, hold on. Velihan, it's for you.
-Hello?
-I'd like to speak with Mr. Yusuf.
I'm his son, Velihan.
What can I do for you?
Velihan, I'm calling you about the cabin.
We really liked it,
but I don't have your dad's number.
-Can you help me with that?
-Sure.
-You have a pen and paper?
-Hold on.
Listen, Yusuf.
If the cops call us,
here's what we'll say,
"That's our summer place,
and we're trying to sell it, anyway."
-Am I right?
-Right.
"We haven't been there in a long time."
"And we're selling it because we don't
go there and it's no use to us."
Am I right?
"So we don't know anything
about any dead bodies, man."
Exactly, Yusuf.
"There's no security
as it's not in a gated community."
"Sometimes we even see
empty liquor bottles in the yard. Right?"
That's right.
-It was last summer, right?
-Yeah.
"Sometimes the drunkards go there
without us even knowing about it."
That's what we'll say. Okay?
-And we didn't do anything wrong.
-Exactly, Yusuf.
"We haven't the slightest idea.
We didn't do anything wrong."
My phone.
My phone.
I bet it's the cops.
I don't know this number. It's the cops.
Okay. Don't panic.
Pull over and answer it.
What did we just talk about?
I don't remember anything. I feel fuzzy.
What did we talk about?
Don't panic, Yusuf.
That cabin is our summer place.
I swear, I'm all over the place.
I can't talk, you should do the talking.
Don't key them off. They're calling you.
They'll get suspicious if I answer it.
Come on, pull over and answer it.
Hello?
-Good evening.
-Good evening.
-I'm calling about the cabin.
-The cabin?
Yeah, the cabin.
Look, man,
we didn't do anything.
And we haven't been there in a long time.
Aren't you the owner of the place?
So what if I'm the owner? Do I have to be
there all the time just because I own it?
Have a heart, man!
I'm calling you about that place.
Hey, I swear,
I've never been to that place!
-Why not?
-None of your business!
Do I have to go there
just because it's mine?
But we checked it out.
I swear on my mother's life,
I don't know anything about
About what?
About what?
This is weird. Is this the wrong number?
-What did you find?
-Where?
At the cabin.
We found nothing.
We just checked it out and liked it.
-Liked what?
-The cabin!
And the yard?
That's nice, too, yeah.
Nice?
By nice you mean
There's something there?
Is there?
He's totally a cop.
Hello?
He's fishing.
Mr. Yusuf?
You talk to him.
Do not slip.
Hello?
Something's wrong with the sound. Hello?
Weak reception, I guess.
Hi, I'm his wife, Meryem.
-Mrs. Meryem, good evening.
-Good evening.
I'm calling you about the cabin.
Look, man, you're not the only one
who knows things around here.
God! You've got me curious now.
What is it?
You can't ask me that.
My husband already told you
that we inherited it from my dad.
So, it's a family heirloom,
but we rarely go there.
Every once in a while, you could say.
If you're trying to tell us
that you found something there,
we have no idea about it.
And if you're trying to be smart
and fishing, we can see through you.
Like a negotiation?
Man, you should have something
to negotiate over.
You have anything? No.
So why would there be a negotiation?
Look, man,
you think I'd negotiate with you
for a murder I didn't commit?
Did I shoot that arrow?
Did I push that woman off the roof
or knock her down?
I don't give a damn about that.
Clearly, there's a dispute between them.
And I didn't even touch that girl's hands.
I have a family, I have kids.
I own a shop in Marmaris.
I pay all my taxes.
Everyone knows where I live, even the loan
I got from the Merchants Association.
I lead an honest life.
But you still want to negotiate with me?
I don't think I follow you.
So, you're not selling the cabin?
Come again?
We checked out the cabin.
We liked it and really want to buy it.
But I don't get what you're saying.
Do we just call it off?
Mr. Yusuf?
Hello?
-So you're calling about the cabin?
-Yes.
You want to buy the cabin?
If possible.
-Yeah, sure.
-Yeah!
I mean, if it's no bother,
we want to buy the cabin.
We have everything ready.
And, of course, if you're also up for it.
All right. So let's talk again tomorrow
and make a plan.
Sure!
Sure, let's make a plan.
I'm really sorry to bother you like this.
No worries at all.
Well, see you, then.
All right, see you tomorrow.
Thank you. Bye.
Bye.
They want to buy the cabin.
We told him everything.
We did.
Do you know when I decided to do this?
While you were yelling at my daughters.
I was there, too.
Look, Ahu, I'll kill you.
Remember that we have a mom, Dad.
Stay out of it. Let me see your phone.
-You want it?
-Yeah, I do, give it to me!
Will you apologize
if you can't find anything?
I was watching from the yard.
I was in floods of tears.
I had to be with my family,
you understand?
And who was there instead of me?
That whore.
I'm sorry, Mahmut Timucin.
But I had to make up my mind.
It was either her or me!
I had to be with my family.
Do you understand me?
Now follow me.
Come on. Let's get this over with.
-I can't.
-What? You can't?
I have to throw her by myself?
I can't.
Okay, then don't.
See how hard I'm trying
to keep this family from falling apart?
It's all for this family.
-Mom.
-Baby?
-Mom, do you know what happened?
-I know, baby, I know.
Don't worry, I handled everything.
Handled how?
I gave that bitch the bum's rush.
It's done. She's back in Russia.
What?
Hey, don't worry. I handled everything.
We'll be together now.
I'm coming back home.
-Your dad asked me to come back home.
-You can't be serious.
What, we'll all be together now?
Asu! Tell me more.
He almost kneeled. You should've seen it.
You know I agreed just for you guys.
And I said, "Okay."
I said, "I'll be with my family."
What? Are you serious, Mom?
We're all going to be together now?
Yeah, exactly.
But do me a favor.
Don't tell your dad about this.
Asu!
Tell Asu as well.
Okay, I have to go.
Kisses for both of you.
I can't even tell you how happy I am.
I'm so happy to hear this.
Okay, bye. Your dad and I
will be home soon. Open a bottle of wine.
With Dad? Okay, kisses.
Come on!
Let's go home and have a little party.
Do you like my present?
Yeah. So it's doing all the work?
Yeah. Let's go to the plot tomorrow
to see everything on site.
Sure.
Okay, then. I'll pick you up
in my car tomorrow, okay?
Okay, cool.
-Come join us!
-Come on, Mom.
-So, cheers!
-Cheers!
-Come on, Mom.
-Mom.
Where's Dad?
Where's Dad?
Dad! Hey! When he gets here,
I'll push him into the pool!
Hey, that's Mom's, leave it!
Leave it! Hey!
Come join us. The girls want you there.
I want to get a divorce, Sahinde.
-What?
-You heard me.
Do you realize what we've done together?
We've got murder on our hands.
We did that together.
Well, I didn't do anything.
You killed Svetlana.
It doesn't matter! We're in this together.
You are as guilty as I am.
Pack your things and leave tomorrow.
I'll handle the rest.
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm not going anywhere.
Don't you see how happy the girls are?
I can't break up this happy family.
Tomorrow I'll file for divorce.
We're through.
Please don't bring me down right now.
I'll get down on my knees for you.
I'm begging you.
Mahmut. Just think about it.
I'll take the girls
and disappear for a month?
Please say something!
I'll go, you can clear your head
and you can think about it, okay?
Please, just sleep on it.
It won't change anything. We're through.
Don't do this, sweetheart.
You won't even see me.
You won't even hear me
or know that I'm around.
I'll be invisible. Just think about it.
Please, just think about it.
Have I ever talked to you
with this kind of determination?
Please, I'm asking you nicely. Go.
It's not that easy to end this, Mahmut.
This isn't over until I say it's over!
Now, for the last time,
shall we go on being a family?
Get out of here.
Fuck you, asshole!
Who the fuck do you think you are
to shut me out? Who are you?
Don't push me. If you do, something bad
will happen to you. Don't push me!
You have the balls for that?
Do you have the balls? Do you have
the balls to kill me, bastard?
Fuck off!
You and I are not through yet, Mahmut.
This won't end so easily.
Guys, where will you put the car?
Give me some good news, Akya.
Is my Yusuf okay?
-He's fine. Why are you asking, though?
-Thank God.
I just want him to be happy,
that's all I want.
Is Meryem okay?
-She's fine. We're all fine.
-Good. I'm happy to hear that.
Actually, are you okay?
-I secluded myself.
-What?
Seclusion, you know.
Life is a vicious cycle.
You mustn't get carried away, Akya.
I washed my hands of everything,
-I quit everything.
-Drinking?
-Want a drink? I have some in the trunk.
-I mean, you quit drinking as well?
It's my comrade, Akya.
My best friend in this great war of mine!
But with God's help, I'll quit that, too.
Well, that's your worst problem.
What?
-I think drinking is a huge problem.
-You want some?
My parents are at the land office.
They're buying that beach house.
They told us this morning.
-Really?
-Yes. It's a great house. We're all happy.
-Wow. They're at the land office?
-Yes, maybe they already bought it.
I'm so happy to hear that.
They really wanted that house.
Come on, let's celebrate it.
Let's get boozed up, guys! Yeah?
He's all about drinking.
Thank you.
-Don't move your hand.
-Okay.
Akya!
Section 41K-1C on the 27th square,
the stone house inside the 9150 sq. ft.
piece of land is in the process of sale
from Meryem Saadet Inebolu,
daughter of Mustafa
to Salih Irfanli, son of Mustafa.
Meryem S. Inebolu, daughter of Mustafa,
do you sell the house of your own accord?
I do.
To the camera, please.
I do.
You, Salih Irfanli, son of Mustafa,
do you agree to pay 2,5 million liras
for the house?
-I do.
-To the camera, please.
I do.
Have you received the payment in full?
-Stay where you are.
-Sorry.
I have.
To the camera, please.
I have.
On behalf of the Marmaris Land Office,
I approve this transaction. Congrats.
-Good luck to everyone.
-Good luck to you.
-Sign here, please.
-Please.
Please sign here.
Here.
-I'm so happy, Yusuf.
-I'm so happy, too, Meryem.
Go ahead, call him.
-You mean Mahmut?
-Yeah.
We can't carry all this cash around.
Let's give it to its owner.
Right. I'm calling him.
Imagine, I go to the cabin
and find a body there.
Dead.
Lying there.
Red all over.
-Right, that was
-I open the door, I look inside,
and there it is staring back at me. Right?
What would you do?
What would you do, right?
Good luck to you.
-Good luck to you.
-Enjoy your new home.
-Hey, we're so glad to meet you guys.
-Likewise.
You just sold it, but don't be a stranger.
-You're always welcome in your home, okay?
-Sure. We'll come visit soon.
Okay, bye. Good luck to you.
-Hope to see you soon. Bye.
-Good luck to all of us.
What do you think?
If the body's there,
it's none of our concern.
We sold the house.
We knew nothing about it.
-Right? We didn't.
-Yeah.
-Just call him.
-I'm calling him.
Yes?
Good afternoon.
We're calling about the beach house.
I was on your boat with my wife,
if you recall.
Yeah, I remember you. Go ahead.
Well, we have the money, sir.
And everything seems in order.
If it's okay with you,
we'd like to close the deal today.
Your name's Yusuf, right?
Yes. We visited you
on your boat, remember?
I remember. Tell you what,
the head of the land office is my friend.
I'm on the boat right now.
My guys can pick you up
and bring you here,
and make the final arrangements.
Sounds good?
Sure. I mean, whatever you say.
We have a deal, then.
Bye.
He seems like an annoying guy,
but I think he's nice.
Very nice guy.
He invited us over before everything else.
-No one does that.
-They don't, right?
