A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
[sad music playing]
[grunts]
[man] O God,
forgive him and have mercy on him.
Keep him safe and sound and forgive him.
Honor his rest and ease his entrance.
[water splashing]
Wash him with water
[phone clicking]
[imam praying]
Oh, how good to see you, my dear.
[kisses]
[Işık] You too.
Are you okay?
Let me take that.
[vehicle drives off]
[gulls cawing]
Hey, come here. Here, boy.
Come on.
[Osman] Sinan!
- Not hungry?
- Sinan!
Sinan!
Where have you been?
There's been a disaster.
Come on. Let's go.
- Go where?
- We have to see Işık right now.
[Kerem] Where are we meeting her?
We're going to her aunt's house.
Işık's mom's been sent to the hospital.
They're giving her sedatives right now.
Işık probably doesn't even
want to see us right now.
What the hell were we thinking?
This entire situation is our fault.
[Kerem] Come on. Not now.
Hey, man, thanks for taking us.
[man 2] No problem, Osman!
Işık!
[whistles]
[Kerem] Işık!
[gate rattles]
Should we climb over?
We're not gonna do that.
What do you want?
- Come on, Işık! Please, just let us in.
- Why would I, Eda.
I'm not sure you're my friends.
I thought we were a group.
I thought I was one of you.
But then you cut me out
when there's a problem?
I want you all to know something.
Just because I'm not as crazy as you
doesn't mean I'm stupid.
I think we just saw
how crazy you really are.
Hey. Shh.
You're right, Işık.
Didn't you feel bad for lying to my face?
[Kerem] So you got back at us
by fucking everything up? Is that it?
- Exactly!
- Great work.
To be honest, I didn't think it through.
- Okay, now what should we do about it?
- Beats me, Eda!
- Why do you care?
- Okay. We have two options here.
We can stay here
and keep arguing the whole night
or we can work together
to find a solution.
Osman, there's no solution to find.
It's over, I'm screwed.
And even if there were a solution,
I wouldn't ask for your help.
Listen, Işık, we came this whole way,
why don't you just
open the door and we can talk?
[Eda] Please come talk to us, Işık.
First we should rule out
getting this decision reversed.
You didn't just dump the paint,
you also ruined the visit
from the Provincial Director
of National Education
- [Eda] Good job.
- Right?
If that guy hadn't been there,
maybe we could've worked
something out with Necdet,
played the whole thing down
as not a big deal.
But Necdet would never go back on it now
because he'd look like an idiot.
Unless Necdet somehow loses his position
his decisions as principal
could be questioned.
["Astral Body" by Freedom Candlemaker
playing]
Expulsions, for instance.
The new principal
would have to review objections.
And possibly revoke them.
Wait a minute.
Are we really talking about
getting Necdet fired as principal?
You gotta be kidding.
When you're out of options,
there's only one thing left to do.
We have to take out the king.
[Eda laughs]
- [knocking]
- [Osman] Hey.
Good morning.
SECURITY
- Morning.
- Anything I should know about?
Something did happen
- [Osman] Take care.
- Thanks.
- [boy] Pass the ball!
- Ahmet!
Pass the ball for once. Stop hogging it.
That's not how
a student at this school behaves.
"I'M ALL ABOUT LOVE"
- [Suzan] She's absolutely gorgeous.
- Absolutely.
Ladies, I'm begging you.
Can we put the magazine away now, please?
- Ms. Burcu is very upset.
- [shushing]
- What?
- [Refik chuckles awkwardly]
Mr. Altuna? I didn't see you there.
- What are we reading?
- [Suzan] You know It's just
During summer school,
you weren't around much
- Billy was looking at it
- Suzan, please shut up a second.
It's nothing, Kemal.
Apparently, the woman
on the cover is your ex.
Well, yeah.
So it's true?
Oh, well, it's not that important.
It's just, Kemal,
you live such a glamorous life
and none of us thought
you would hang around for long.
It's just hard for us to imagine
you staying in our little world.
Of course, it's all just silly talk.
[scoffs] Burcu is so sensitive.
Completely overreacting.
[Burcu] You don't care
about any of this, do you?
You're only here because
you thought it was an easy job.
As a bonus, you found
a little girlfriend for yourself.
["Padişah" by Sibel Can playing on stereo]
[Necdet] Mr. Altuna! Mr. Altuna!
Please have a seat. There's a spot here.
Come.
Excuse me. Over here.
What would you like?
I'll have what he's having. Thanks.
[waiter] Right away, sir.
I'm sure you noticed
Burcu isn't here again.
She doesn't want to eat with us anymore.
This has gotten out of hand.
- I don't understand.
- [clears throat]
Constantly trying to break the rules,
swimming out against the current.
We'll have to deal with her.
This can't go on.
I guess I don't see the need.
Never mind.
I don't want to bother you with all this.
Once our new vice principal arrives,
we'll have them deal with it.
Now, Billur, she's nice and all
incompetent.
I can't count on her, you know.
Perhaps I can accept
the position after all. How about that?
I thought you didn't want it.
I thought it over.
Now I've changed my mind.
Well, this is great to hear.
I really wasn't expecting this.
I know what happened here.
You saw my system and you were impressed.
You want to play
for the winning team again.
Happy to have you with us.
Excuse me, waiter.
Order something else.
The best dish you have!
[indistinct chatter]
[students cheering]
[Rafik] Well done. Bravo.
Why don't we congratulate this student?
[applause]
- This shit sucks. Look at them.
- Fucking hate those badges.
- What has he done to this school?
- Tell me about it.
Why don't we give a round of applause
to our teachers who work so hard?
Thanks to them,
this system is proving a success.
- [applause]
- Good job.
You should all be proud.
[sighs]
You know, sir, we should consider
the effect this is having on the children.
We're giving them the wrong ideas
about the concept of success.
The system you created
makes them feel totally worthless.
Those are some serious allegations,
wouldn't you say so?
Correct me if I'm wrong, of course,
but I thought
that you resigned as the vice principal.
Isn't that right, Burcu?
[Necdet] Hmm?
That's right.
Believe me, I have my reasons
for resigning from the position,
but as an educator,
I still take all of this seriously.
[chuckles]
You ever read Crime and Punishment?
Of course I've read it. Why?
Well, I haven't read it, to be honest.
It's just that it describes you perfectly.
You have the air of a book that everyone
lies to each other about having read
that in reality is extremely boring.
Nothing like our new vice principal Kemal,
which is lucky for me.
- [loud applause]
- Well done!
Kemal? You're telling me
he took the position?
Let me enjoy this, please.
[laughs]
[sighs]
["Insane In The Brain"
by Cypress Hill playing]
[Eda] Kerem?
Where the hell is he going?
Damn, I feel like the Son of Sam
Oh, making my mind slow ♪
Psst!
What are you [groans]
[Kerem grunts]
Kerem! Kerem, stop!
- Stop!
- [laughs]
Nobody saw or heard anything.
Understood?
[Eda] Let's go, you idiot.
MALE STUDENT RESTROOM
This new desk means we'll be
spending a lot of time alone together.
Maybe fate is trying
to tell us something. Hmm?
Fate? I guess that's
one way to describe it.
I got offered a job and I took it.
Anyway
Burcu must not be too happy about it.
You two seem to be avoiding each other.
[softly] Shit, right on cue.
[normal voice]
Look who decided to pay us a visit.
You really gonna do this?
Are you really deciding
to be a part of this?
I guess you're trying to get back at me.
[sighs]
Hmm.
[footsteps fade]
Oh, look at this.
The gang is back together, huh?
I assume there's
a good reason you're out of class.
[Osman] That's right, sir. There is.
What is this?
The "Kick Me the Fuck Out" club?"
[giggles]
Why aren't you all doing your assignments?
- I forgot how dumb this guy was!
- Yeah, really.
I beg your pardon?
Sir, you expelled Işık.
So we're done being servants.
[chuckles]
That's correct.
[continues chuckling]
I guess our deal is over.
Don't get comfortable.
I'll be expelling you all soon enough.
Fucking punk.
[laughs]
We're his servants anymore,
but we still have to be on good behavior.
We cannot get expelled.
Until there's a way to get Işık back in,
we fly under the radar.
I can handle that.
Kerem?
All right, we'll behave.
That's fine. You happy now?
I think you're actually right, by the way.
[Suzan] The ontic integrity
of the esthetics phenomenon.
So, what does that mean?
- I'm sure at least one of you has an idea.
- [knocking]
Yeah?
- Excuse me, ma'am. Sorry I'm late.
- [Suzan] Oh, Elif. Come in, dear.
I know you have a special class schedule
to give you time to practice piano.
Let's see.
Where would you like to sit? Hmm?
Should I just sit right over there?
Oh, sure! Yeah.
Osman, just go ahead
and find another seat somewhere else.
But this is where I've always sat.
Osman, just move over there.
Come on. Eh!
It's open for you, my dear.
Enjoy your class.
Now, where was I?
The esthetics phenomenon,
or the esthetic entity,
occurs as
an ontic integrity of four elements.
Psst.
- Pass me my phone.
- What?
My phone. I left it on the desk.
[Suzan] esthetic judgment analysis.
There we have it.
The four basic structural elements
in the ontic integrity
of the esthetic phenomenon.
İlknur, no whispering back there.
Let's focus up. All right?
- Anyways
- Uh, ma'am?
Sorry, but I found this phone here.
Those aren't allowed, right?
[Suzan] Look at that.
I'll be taking that. Thank you, Elif.
I'm sure the owner
can live without it until after school.
Anyway, moving on.
This ontic integrity forms
the subject of philosophical esthetics.
I'm gonna get some tea. Be right back.
Sinan, if you have biscuits
or something like that
[whispering] Have you made a decision yet?
Look, you just lost your father.
Oh, please, spare me your concern.
As if we both don't know
what's going through your mind.
Say it.
I'm only saying this
because you're forcing me.
[exhales frustratedly]
I think you should take Sinan
back to Ankara with you
You can't really be suggesting that!
You're ridiculous.
What am I supposed to do there with him?
I'm swamped with work as it is.
Should he be moving
to a different city right now?
Think for a second.
I decided to move out.
- What did you say?
- Where?
I'm moving in with a friend.
His parents are going to be traveling.
He doesn't want to be alone.
Um, what will you do for money?
Did he ask you to share the rent?
He didn't.
My allowance will be enough.
And when I'm done with school,
I'll get a job and see from there.
What about college?
You're going to college, aren't you?
No. I don't think
I'll score high enough to get in.
But what about your future?
I'll be fine.
Everything works out eventually.
Seriously, you really don't
have to worry about me.
You still have to do
your military service, you know.
It'll be a burden
if you put it off for too long.
Wouldn't want to be a burden.
Shouldn't we call someone?
These cracks in the wall
need to be looked at?
No yeah.
We should.
[Kerem] Where's Sinan?
Maybe he doesn't want to see me.
Maybe he doesn't care.
Hm. Işık, leave the guy alone.
He was miserable all summer.
He must be dealing with something.
He'll show up.
[Osman] Hear me out.
We know what's happening,
Necdet is ruining the school.
- I think I have a plan.
- [Eda] Hmm?
What is it?
- We need to mess with him.
- [Kerem] How?
Necdet is a temporary principal,
it's still not official.
His application will probably be approved.
There's no competition.
So, I think it's just a matter of time.
Yeah. And?
I say we find somebody to run against him.
[Eda] Hmm.
[Eda] Oh
What's the matter?
[sighs]
I'm all right.
You're clearly upset about something.
What is it?
Nothing's wrong with him.
That's just Sinan.
Hey. Drink up.
Thanks for gracing us with your presence.
Lay off me, okay?
There's just one other person
who has the qualifications to compete
and that's Refik.
But seeing he's Necdet's bitch,
I don't see him going for it.
[sighs] Guess we're screwed then.
Yıldıray is our only solution.
What are you saying?
Are you wasted already? Who is Yıldıray?
The provincial director.
The guy who saw the paint drop.
He's also that girl Elif's dad.
So, we need Elif.
Yıldıray will handpick Refik,
Refik will find
the courage to run against Necdet.
Keep drinking,
it's making you smarter. Tell us more!
I could see that working,
but what's in it for Elif?
That girl's so annoying.
I agree with Eda. I've seen it myself.
We need her.
Osman, I think you should talk to her.
Me?
Not happening. We do not get along.
What? You think
I should be the one to talk to her?
What the hell do I say?
I could pretend
to be nice to her, I guess.
How about I scare her? Hmm?
Osman can talk to her.
[Eda] Osman, I think you should do it.
- Sinan knows what he's talking about.
- I don't want to deal with her.
Ugh!
You know
you don't have to do it if you don't want.
[Eda] Come on, Osman.
It's just a conversation.
What's the big deal?
Fine. I'll talk to her.
But don't expect anything.
I'm telling you, it'll backfire
just because she doesn't like me.
It'll be great, man. Really.
- [Eda] You can do it. Have confidence.
- [Kerem] Let's get some more beers.
[bird chirping]
[emotional piano music playing]
["İki Yol" by Mavisakal playing]
BUILDING FOR SALE
[chirping]
[song continues]
OUT OF ORDER
[song fades]
[Sinan] Grandpa? Grandpa?
- [Işık] I got you all wrong, Sinan.
- [screams]
[song continues]
[song plays on headphones]
[song stops]
[Eda] Sinan?
Osman been around here?
I wanna know if he talked to Elif.
[bird chirps]
Isn't that your grandpa's bird?
He died, didn't he?
What are you doing?
That thing can't survive all by itself.
Hey, Sinan, come on.
He's just gonna
have to find a way to live.
[melancholy music playing]
What are you going to do now?
Are you going to live alone?
I'll stay with my dad.
[man] If you pass this up,
I promise you'll regret it!
Fish for sale!
Fresh straight off the hook. Bluefish!
- We'll handle the tab after.
- Okay. I'll be here.
- Thanks, my man. Here's your percentage.
- Okay.
[upbeat music playing]
- Enjoy your meal, gentlemen.
- Thanks.
Hey, Elif.
- Yes, that's me.
- Can I talk to you?
- Of course we can.
- [Osman] Cool. Follow me.
I'll be back.
[Osman] Here's the thing.
My friend Işık
Yeah, I remember her.
She shouldn't have been expelled.
I know she upset your dad,
but she's not like that.
She's actually a really nice person.
If you knew her, you'd see.
Do you like her a lot?
There's only one Işık.
I do care about her.
I understand.
We're trying to get
her expulsion reversed.
We could really use your help.
I was hoping you can meet after school.
We'll explain everything then.
Are you asking me to meet after school?
- I mean, if you want to help us out.
- I'll do it!
- What's that?
- I'll come.
We'll meet after school
and I'll see what I can do. Okay?
[school bell ringing]
There is just one problem.
I can't get out of the house much
because I have to practice piano.
I play in my room
at least four hours every day.
Could we sneak you out?
Could could you do that for me?
So what if you played a tape or something?
You can lock the door,
say you need to concentrate.
What floor do you live on?
We can get you out of the window.
It's on the second floor.
Sounds good.
Oh, let me give you my address. Okay?
[Clair de Lune" by Debussy
playing on stereo]
So, Elif
- How's school going?
- Good. It's good.
Mm.
I heard Mr. Karakis had
a brand new piano installed just for you.
- How does it sound?
- I don't really play it actually.
- What?
- Why not?
Well
the music room is surrounded by glass.
I feel so embarrassed.
It's like I'm a zoo animal in there.
[scoffs]
You're a concert pianist.
What do you care if people watch?
You should be proud they want to listen.
Something new every day with her!
[mother] Don't get me started.
No more teenage attitude.
You're getting
hung up on ridiculous things.
You will practice, hear me?
You will play that piano as well.
Just remember,
every minute you're not practicing
there's some other kid
out there getting ahead of you.
Understand?
Now finish your dinner and get to it.
Well, I'm finished.
You too enjoy your meal.
Hey! Excuse me!
We're doing what's best for her.
Where's the gratitude?
[mother] Kids these days!
CONCERT RECORDING
PIANO RECITAL
[piano playing on stereo]
[Kerem] Osman convinced her.
She's gonna be here.
- Not a clue how he managed to do it.
- Just think for a second.
If Eda asked you
to jump off a bridge, would you do it?
[Kerem] Of course, I wouldn't think twice.
She's my girlfriend. We'd jump together.
That's why she's doing it?
Wow!
- Oh, shit, she likes him. I get it now.
- [gasps]
- Does Osman know?
- Osman doesn't have a clue.
- Not about this.
- [Kerem] I'll be damned.
We should tell him.
How about we just let things happen.
I bet it won't take long. Don't you think?
[knock on window]
[upbeat music playing]
- Osman.
- No, I'm Eda. Remember me?
Come on.
- Come on! Let's go.
- Wait. Hold on a second.
[Eda] Over here.
[whispering] Careful.
- Where do you keep your bike?
- Over here.
Are they here yet?
Dinner is on me. Eda's getting the beers.
- [laughs] Of course you brought dinner.
- [Osman] Huh?
[Kerem] Nothing. You just love food.
Wraps, sausages, you love it all.
Osman will be there too, right?
Don't worry, he'll be there. Come on.
We got booze!
- [Işık] Hi, Eda.
- Hey, everyone.
- Kerem, take these.
- [Kerem] Okay.
[Işık] Elif, sit by me.
Thanks so much.
[classical piano playing on stereo]
If you keep repeating a lie,
people will believe it. Eventually.
Meaning, we can make Refik principal
if we never shut the fuck up about it?
First we have to convince ourselves.
Convince Refik, Necdet,
and then everybody.
- Only then it'll be real?
- [Sinan] Mm-hmm.
- Goebbels.
- [Eda] What?
I think Goebbels came up with that.
He wasn't that great of a person.
Actually, he's one of
the worst human beings who ever lived.
Hey, listen, Sinan isn't a bad person.
He's just trying
to do the right thing, okay?
I didn't mean it like that. Sorry.
No worries,
we didn't think you meant anything.
I don't know what we're talking about.
I'm sure Sinan took it as a compliment.
Relax. Have a beer.
I will. Thanks.
[can opens]
So, Elif,
tell us a little about yourself.
What are you into?
- Me?
- Yeah.
Not much really.
- [Eda] Like
- [Kerem] You play the piano for example.
What else?
Basically
There's nothing else.
Tell us what it's like
to be this famous prodigy.
Ha. Wouldn't you like to know.
Seriously though
Elif, let me
introduce you to a fellow prodigy.
Although she isn't
as widely celebrated as you are,
- she's very talented.
- Mm.
- Hmm?
- Really?
Yeah, right. Come on. You serious?
[Osman] Of course I am.
You're so sweet Osman. Aw.
Elif, Eda is actually my girlfriend.
- Oh?
- [Kerem] Uh-huh.
I see.
[kisses]
Hey everyone
Keep it down, I gotta tell you something.
I'm afraid Sinan's grandpa passed away.
- What?
- [Eda] Shh. He'll hear you.
Please, just keep it to yourselves.
I don't want him
to think I blurted it out.
He'll tell you if he wants.
But he's really upset.
Why didn't he say anything to me?
Hey, wait.
[brakes squeal]
Hey!
I have something to talk with you about.
What could that be, Eda?
- I'm not aware of anything.
- You know what I mean?
I thought being an adult meant
taking responsibility for your actions.
It's true. I talked to Işık.
I did it because she had a right to know.
- But I had no idea she was going to
- You messed it up this time.
So is that it?
Is that what you came here to tell me?
I had no idea that this would happen.
Yes, I lied to you a bunch of times.
I took advantage of our friendship.
Maybe this is me getting what I deserve.
All of it is so fucked up.
We always end up hurting
the people we care about.
Even when we try to help,
it all just turns to shit.
That's enough. Breathe.
We ruined her entire life forever.
Don't you understand that?
She got expelled because of what we did!
She was in Class A! You hear me? A!
She was going to be the top of her class.
Now she just sits at home like a pet.
Her family won't even
look her in the eye anymore.
She won't talk to me,
she won't go anywhere.
It's all our fault.
Take it easy.
It's okay Eda, really. It'll be all right.
Listen, I know it's a horrible situation,
but we'll find a solution, I promise.
Also, I'm pretty sure you guys
have thought of a plan for this already.
Haven't you?
Well, if there's anything
I can do for you, anyway I can help
You just let me know. Okay?
They're here.
All right, dear,
let's talk to this Mr. Ozdeman.
His name is Mr. Özdemir
Whatever it is.
Let's get this over with.
Hmm? What's this?
Excuse me, Mr. Özdemir!
Mr. Özdemir!
- Good morning, sir.
- Mm.
I'm Refik Özdemir, sir.
Geography and math.
- [Yıldıray] Pleased to meet you.
- Pleasure is all mine.
So tell me, is Elif taking well
to her studies at the new school?
You You're asking me?
[Yıldıray] Mm-hmm.
[Refik] Why yes, sir. Very well.
She's just excellent.
Everyone at the school
is proud to have her.
Thank you Mr. Ozmander,
that's what I thought.
That's my Elif for you. Well done.
Dad, I want you to know
that Mr. Özdemir is a fantastic teacher.
More than that, he's a really good man.
It means so much to me to hear you say
all those nice things, Mr. Özdemir.
Huh? Uh
Of course, Elif. That's simply how I feel.
[Elif] We'll talk again soon, right?
Of course.
Whenever you want, I'm always available.
Okay. If you'll excuse me,
I have to get to class.
- Hurry along. Don't be late.
- See you, Dad. Goodbye, sir.
Good luck with your classes.
[both chatting indistinctly]
What the hell is this?
Elif.
- What do you think, did it work?
- I'm not sure.
It's always hard to tell
what my dad's thinking.
We'll keep at it. Wait and see.
Ever use that thing?
No, it's too public. Why do you ask?
Doesn't matter.
Since you're a prodigy,
I'd like to hear for myself.
Do you want me to play?
[Necdet] What are you doing here?
This isn't a coffee shop!
Anyway. See you later.
Would it kill you to go to the library
instead of loitering in the halls?
[boy] Hello, sir.
- Which class are you boys in?
- Class A, sir.
Good. What do you want?
Sir, we in Class A request that
Mr. Özdemir be our teacher.
We should be learning from the best.
Mr. Özdemir?
See that, Refik?
I'm seeing a flock of birds.
I believe you'll be receiving
some big news very shortly.
Let's cross our fingers.
Ah, there you are.
Looks like you're becoming a popular man.
Pardon me, sir? What do you mean?
I'm moving you up. To Class A.
Okay. I'll do it.
All right then.
I'll be going.
[Suzan] What did I tell you?
- [both laughing]
- This is crazy.
What are you doing here?
You wanna study?
I've got some practice tests here.
I don't want to, Sinan. What's the point?
They'll let you back soon.
You don't want to fall too far behind.
I doubt it.
Işık, please let me.
Integrals won't be on the exam this year.
We don't need to study those.
Derivatives probably will though.
You should know about them.
I can do both integrals and derivatives.
I studied all summer. But one thing
- I'm still behind in biology.
- Okay, we'll study that tomorrow.
- So, you're coming back tomorrow?
- Do you want me too?
It doesn't matter.
Işık, when will you forgive me?
I realize it was wrong not to tell you
but it's over now.
How's your grandpa?
Fine. Same as always, I guess.
[melancholy music playing]
Well then.
I haven't forgiven you.
Don't know when I will.
So if we're done here, let's go.
Sure, fine by me.
Wow! Kerem, what is this?
What do you think?
It's a sweet bike!
Where did you get this from?
Got it from my uncle.
He's abroad, so I'm borrowing it.
So sexy.
The bike or me?
- May I take that as an answer?
- You may.
Want a ride?
- Hell yeah!
- Let's do it.
[rock music playing]
Whoo!
This thing is incredible!
- Look out.
- You keep distracting me.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
- Have you been studying lately?
- Studying for what?
- For the exam.
- No.
That's so lame.
Don't tell me you're studying now.
To be honest, I'm not really
expecting to do too well for myself.
But this year
I think we should both study.
Huh?
Even if you want to apply to art school
you have to get
a certain score from the entrance exam.
It sucks but it's important.
This is our future I'm talking about.
You're really trying to have
this conversation with me right now?
When did you turn into such a square, huh?
- [Elif] Hey, Dad?
- Hmm?
Remember when we talked the other day
about me practicing at school?
- I hope you're back at it.
- No
But I guess I could be.
There's one condition though.
What condition?
You're not practicing for me,
you're practicing for yourself.
The kids in Class A are so smart.
- They figure out everything right away!
- Congratulations, Refik. You deserve it.
Everyone at school
has been talking about you.
Well, I guess hard work pays.
- And my experience all these years.
- Totally.
[Refik sighs]
Hey, Refik, can I please talk to you?
It'll just be for a moment.
- [Suzan] He's all yours.
- [Refik] Happy to.
All right. Tell me. What's your condition?
- Mr. Özdemir.
- Mm-hmm.
Refik, listen.
You know,
we haven't had a principal appointed yet.
And that Necdet position
is only a temporary solution.
Yeah.
He's thinking of applying
to be the next principal.
You know how much I like him.
Everyone else feels the same way.
I've been thinking
you might want to consider
running for the position.
You would do a great job.
At least I think so.
Huh? I'd say you have a good chance.
Just imagine
what you could do as principal.
You could do so much
for the school if that happened.
[Elif] I was hoping you could support him?
Why would I do that?
I think Mr. Karakış
has been doing a fine job.
He knows the school. It's a no-brainer.
- Wait, Dad. Come on.
- Uh-uh.
Whatever. I knew you wouldn't
be able to help me out with this.
All right, looks like we're over.
Let's never talk again.
[car horn blares]
Dad, please, I really want this.
It's very important to me.
Why are you so interested
in this Özdemal person?
- It's Mr. Özdemir.
- Whatever his name is.
It's extremely important to me.
I won't ask for anything ever again.
Please do it.
- Want to know something?
- Sure.
You've changed my mind.
- [Burcu] I have?
- Yeah.
Good.
I'm gonna submit
my application to the Board right away.
After all, why shouldn't it be me?
Fine. If he applies, I'll support him.
[typewriter clacking]
Best of luck to you, sir.
["Senin Marşın" by Duman playing]
NO TRESPASSING
[song fades]
[Işık] I have only one wish,
for us to be friends
even 20 years from now.
DANGER
DO NOT ENTER
