[waves lapping]
[indistinct chatter]
That's it, baby. Come on. Swim, baby.
- Come on.
- No. Stop, Daddy.
Just keep holding me. Don't let go.
Ah, do you know
the story of Archimedes, then?
No. Who's that?
A long, long time ago in Ancient Greece
lived a man named Archimedes.
Then one day, while he was in the bath,
he saw a bowl floating on the water.
Archimedes jumped up and ran out,
butt naked and screaming,
"Eureka! Eureka!'
- [giggles] Jumped out naked?
- [laughs]
And then everyone
made fun of poor Archimedes.
He seemed crazy.
But you know, it turned out
that he was one of the smartest men
in the entire world,
who learned that water
is actually buoyant.
Let's swim, hon.
Daddy, I'm gonna end up
at the bottom. Wait, please!
[father] You can do it, baby.
Don't be scared. Ready?
Set? Go! Eureka!
Eureka! Eureka!
Eureka!
[Ada] Sometimes, we expect
to hear a whisper
that tells us
what we already know in our souls.
As if we are waiting
for someone to shout out loud,
"Eureka" at the truths we can plainly see.
ANOTHER SELF
[horn honks]
["Olmaz Olsun" playing in distance]
[up-tempo Turkish song
continues on laptop]
[Sevgi grunts]
The time has come.
It's time to start completely fresh. Hmm.
[softly] Leyla, honey.
[Leyla sighs]
My things are all getting brought up
to Sevgi's to live with her.
But it's just upstairs, so I'm still here
if you need something, okay?
- Muko.
- Huh?
Thank you for everything you've done.
- [kisses] My darling.
- Thank you. [sighs sadly]
["Olmaz Olsun" blasting upstairs]
[heavy footsteps falling]
[in Turkish]
When have they made anyone happy? ♪
[singing along] A genuine smile
A sweet word ♪
A compassionate kiss, a loving look ♪
That's all I need ♪
[in English] Sevgi?
[in Turkish] All I need is your love
Not money ♪
[in English]
Sevgi, what's going on, honey?
Sevgi, you're saying?
[Sevgi] I am, Mom!
- [squeals]
- [exclaims] Sevgi!
My life can really begin again.
It's my next chapter. It's over!
All our hopes
and prayers have been answered!
[both exclaim]
[Muko] Oh, my baby!
Oh, honey!
Hey, you two, quit it,
or Mavi's gonna start crying again!
- Go and get her!
- You should wake her. That's right!
- What's going on?
- Can't you guess?
[Muko] Think, what would make us dance?
- [laughs]
- [gasps, squeals]
[both exclaim]
- [all laughing]
- [Leyla] Oh! That's great!
- ["Olmaz Olsun" cuts out]
- [cell phone ringing]
- Hello?
- Hey.
Well, I assumed that you might not care.
That was before, but
Leyla had mentioned your message?
[hesitating] Sevgi, of course.
It matters to me. What is it?
I'm clear, Fiko.
They said I'm clear! [laughs]
Oh, that's so That's amazing. I
That's some great news. Sevgi!
Sevgi, I'm so glad.
Oh, thank you, Fiko.
- That's about it.
- Ah, all right, then.
See you around, then?
[sighs deeply]
["Olmaz Olsun" continues]
[group singing along]
[all cheer]
- ["Olmaz Olsun" fades out]
- [insects chirring]
[Ada] A patient of mine told the hospital
she saw me here, and now it's
like I was convicted of a crime.
Is that what kept you from practicing?
I did eventually quit my hospital job.
My colleagues were confused,
I would imagine.
Then why are you alone here?
[birds singing]
Is it because of what you do?
It's quite simple.
I think that I made mistakes
which led to loneliness, perhaps.
But tell me, Ada.
Why do you think that you're alone?
[sighs]
Beats me.
I don't know.
It's like, no matter
where I end up in life,
no matter who I'm with,
I seem to be lonely all the time.
Nobody's a part of my life now.
But I still feel lonely.
- I guess it must be fate.
- [Zaman] Hmm.
Or something like it.
Let's prove it with an experiment.
Come on.
Come on.
I want you to pick a stone
to represent you.
[sounds reverberate]
[Ada breathing deeply]
[waves lapping]
[ethereal instrumental music playing]
[Zaman] Place the next ones anywhere.
You can take two more.
[sounds reverberate]
[waves lapping nearby]
[sounds reverberate]
- Still one more?
- [Zaman] Mm-hmm.
[Ada] Mm.
[sighs]
[exhales sharply]
[sounds reverberate]
[music intensifies]
[Ada] Who's this piece?
That one's your partner, I think.
My partner separated from me.
Potential partner, then. That's him.
You two likely haven't met yet, see?
Because now,
you're facing another direction.
What's there?
[sounds reverberate]
[Zaman, slowly] Your father's
other partner.
Zaman, anyone who's
beyond immediate family
Just wait.
[sighs]
[sounds reverberate]
[Zaman] I want you to look at her.
Now, what do you feel?
[quietly] But what's the point?
Trust me, please.
- [chimes ringing]
- [dramatic instrumental music playing]
TO MY MÜJGAN
[speaking inaudibly]
[dramatic music building]
[dramatic music subsides]
It pains me to look.
[takes a deep breath]
Let's explore this tomorrow.
[exhales]
[stones clattering]
[sniffles]
Tell me more
about this placement technique thing.
You're already learning it, Ada.
This is a process,
and time is the key element.
Well, I'm about to be terminated.
But just maybe, I'll bring them onboard
if you show me somehow.
Unless the waters of your own spirit
can stay calm and clear,
peering into another's water is hard.
Ada?
- Muko. Great news!
- [Muko] It's good to see you!
- Our girl's cancer-free!
- Sweetheart! I'm so happy. I really am.
- [both laughing]
- [gasps] Just look at you!
[all laugh and exclaim]
Ah! Remember what I said? Remember?
About how you had beaten it before,
my love?
- Do you remember that?
- Yes. Thank you, Ada.
- I'm so grateful for your help, Ada!
- But, baby, it wasn't me at all.
Please. I should thank you, love.
Your courage has kept me going.
You've made me a stronger person.
- [Sevgi] I did?
- [Ada] Of course you did.
- [Muko] Come and get it. Dinner is ready.
- Great. Thanks. Let's go.
- Now, we need to make some plans for you.
- [Sevgi] Hmm.
- Diet plans,
- Of course.
- Exercising, mental health
- Course.
It's all important,
but we'll take it slow.
- No rush. We want gain, not pain.
- Yeah, slow.
- [Ada sighs]
- What's got you down?
You're upset.
No, it's just something
at the hospital, that's all.
You know what?
I don't think they
sent your tests to me yet. I'll check.
Pfft, but wait.
I have something to tell the two of you.
I do not want to hear a single thing
about this cancer business, please.
Not the tests,
not the analysis, the results, nothing.
Not a damn thing
about any more of this drama.
- Of course.
- Of course, love.
- Of course. All right.
- [Sevgi] Mm.
- Oh, my love. Oh, my darling.
- Okay, Madam Mukadder.
- I just want to pig out.
- Anything.
- Yes, eat anything.
- Eat everything up.
Mwah! You darling babies.
Oh, I love you both.
[up-tempo music playing]
[cat meows]
I just think I'm entitled
to be way more nuts than anybody.
Ugh, what's the matter
with this kid, anyway?
I have to clean his sheets
every single day.
God, give me patience. I can't.
I have to take care of the baby,
but here I am,
dealing with the older one for no reason.
[blows, sighs]
[grunts]
[tearfully] Time to face the music.
It all comes to this.
Farewell, Leyla.
You're just like Cinderella now,
aren't you?
- [inhales sharply]
- [knocking on door]
[Leyla] Shh!
Here I am.
[up-tempo music fades]
Where'd he go?
He's been discharged, Doctor.
- Wait, my patient was?
- He was, yes.
REPOR
[chime rings on PA]
[wistful music playing]
[Canan] Good morning, Doctor.
There's something I've been meaning
to mention to you.
I'd suggest that you skip
that group session for some time.
You said you supported me.
Ada, it's not about my opinion.
Someone just took a complaint
right to the board.
And everybody's talking.
I'm telling you now
so it's not a surprise.
[sighs] Understood.
Thank you.
[somber music playing]
TRANSGENERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
[Leman] Can't you find
a better place to live, honey?
This place seems a little damp.
That's all.
It's not great for the children.
I'm just saying.
You know, I didn't get to pick between
grand mansions here, Mommy dearest.
So this was the best option.
Ah, but Leyla, I'm just so upset
that you would keep making mistakes.
And that mistake is what?
How could you make more children
with that deadbeat, huh?
What happened to thinking first?
Hey, hold up.
Go on and explain how you help anyone
at all by just picking a fight over it.
Huh?
It's not like Erdem ever had
your approval anyway.
But enough is enough.
No, Leyla, it's not.
This man is why you didn't bother
finishing your bachelor's degree program.
But where is he now?
He's in prison,
and what are you left with?
And you're opening
a restaurant now? Please.
Your father's an honored soldier.
- Erdem's
- Erdem's what, Mother?
What is Erdem? Tell me.
I can't handle much more.
Put on your glasses,
and look around at where we are now.
No matter how you feel about it,
it's Erdem
that gave you grandbabies, okay?
You think your husband's
such an upstanding guy?
- What?
- Hasn't he made any mistakes in his life?
- Huh?
- What do you mean?
So he's made of pure gold?
Just tell me about one
of these mistakes, then! Just one!
Mother, don't.
Please try helping me out. For once.
You said you came here to help me, right?
Just forget about the rest.
Us talking about it will upset us both.
Wait, wait, wait. [sighs]
Put me to some use, then.
I'll clean his sheets to start.
He's too old
to pee in his bed, dear. [sighs]
Clean up in the shower.
I'll watch the baby. Go on.
[sighs]
[exhales] A shower.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [Muko] Oh.
This is a nice spot,
in the shade and breezy.
Well, you know. It's just too hot, huh?
Arif, hey, please.
Bring us two glasses of sour grape juice?
[Muko] My darling girl.
Getting to spend
more mother-daughter time is nice.
I love being out with you.
It sure has been a while.
Hmm.
We have some important things
to converse about, still, don't we?
We're not gonna keep hiding things
just because we made up.
Hiding what?
Maybe my dad, to start off?
Spill the beans on him.
Tell me everything. Come on.
Tell me what kind of man he was.
- Or maybe how you guys first met.
- Ah.
Thank you, Arif. Perfect.
- Looks great. Thank you.
- Tell me the story, okay?
Is there a grave to go to?
Can you maybe just tell me
about how he died?
What was his family name?
What good does bringing it up serve,
Sevgi, huh?
It's too painful.
It's in the past, anyway, dear.
So what's the point in finding out now?
Hey, this can help me fill the void, okay?
It's part of who I am.
Why can't I visit his grave, huh?
Mom?
[Muko] Isn't that Fiko?
Hey, Fiko! F
- Fiko! Fiko!
- Hang on.
- That must be Fiko there. By the bike.
- Just hold on.
Wait, that really is Fiko.
- Fiko! Fiko!
- That's it. I'll see you soon. Gotta run.
Just stop running, Fiko.
You're in trouble now, Fiko.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
This is urgent.
- Sure, ma'am.
- Just follow that bike. Go.
Hurry up and follow it!
[engine revs]
Yes, yes! Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn.
Ah, It's like I died and went to heaven.
Ah, it's so nice. [grunts]
- [Sarp] Mommy!
- [Leman] Get back over here!
- Come here! Hey!
- Sarp?
Get back here, now! Bring it over here!
I'll burn your weenie to stop you
from peeing in the bed again!
- Stay away!
- [Leman] Get back here!
Sarp!
Open it! Come on!
[both panting]
- Sarp! Hang on!
- [Leman] Get back here. Come here.
[Leyla] Mom, what's going on?
What's wrong?
- Just leave me alone!
- [Leman] Come here.
It's okay. This repels evil.
That's all. Don't worry.
Hang on. Stop. Calm down for a minute.
- Whoa!
- Just trust me, hon.
My method will really work on him.
He's a big boy, isn't he?
This is traumatizing the kid. Look at you!
- He's fine. You get back here!
- Hey!
- Just wait. Can you stop it? Sarp?
- [Leman] Come here.
You guys?
[Sevgi] You can drop me off
after the turn.
Hey! There's his ATV.
Just drop me off here.
[sighs] You're such a lifesaver.
Thanks so much. You're great.
Fiko!
Sevgi?
Where'd she go?
- [Fiko] Who?
- Fiko, where'd she go?
Got the measurements, kiddo.
So I'll have them ready by next week.
Let me know what else you need.
Thanks, Auntie Sevim.
Thanks for everything.
Here's my wife, Sevgi, yeah?
My aunt's helping us make some curtains.
We're super close.
[Sevim] Wow. Your wife is so beautiful.
You're so blessed.
- [Fiko] I'll give you a ride back.
- I'll walk.
It's good for my legs.
Have a good one, kiddos.
- You're the greatest. Thank you.
- [Sevgi] Thank you. Yeah, take care.
Yeah. Take care, all right?
[laughs]
- [laughs mockingly]
- You're such a sleuth. Wow.
- Oh, so you're laughing?
- I am, yeah.
Good. Sounds good.
What would happen
if you saw me on a random bike
with a stranger like that, Mr. Joke Man?
Whoa!
Actually, who brought you out here?
Well, I did come out with some dude
who so kindly drove all this way.
What?
What, what?
So just quit pestering me,
or I'm gonna have to do something.
- Something, huh?
- Yeah, I'll
Hey, you're in trouble now. [laughs]
Hey, Fiko! Hey. [giggles]
- [moans softly]
- [romantic guitar music playing]
[gulls calling]
[music fades]
[crickets chirping outside]
[Ada takes a deep breath]
[case shuts]
[knocking on door]
Hey. Come here a minute, hon.
- It's molasses. Here.
- Ew, I hate that, Mom.
It helps you make more milk.
Here you go. Open. Here.
- Mm.
- [Leyla] Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
It's good. And for the baby.
- [grunts] Hey, um
- [Leman] Yes, hon?
Please sit down.
Of course.
[sighs]
Dad would never let you
do anything like this.
So then, how did you convince him?
- He said I can come on one condition.
- Tell me.
Just as long as I could bring you
to Antalya again.
- What?
- Baby, let's get you packed up.
It'll be wonderful. Please, Leyla.
- It's time you quit this tantrum of yours.
- Hey, listen.
You think I'm some kid?
I'm building a life here.
I'm starting a business here.
There's no point in going backwards.
Antalya's got nothing for me, Mother.
Mom, I won't come back.
I'm not a kid anymore.
But don't you deserve
to go further in life?
Don't your children deserve good things?
You're a wreck, baby. Just look.
And you don't know anything
about running a restaurant business.
You'll get tricked and duped.
And when it's done, they'll dump you flat.
Apparently, you don't have
a shred of faith in me.
How nice of you.
Accepting that you've made
a mistake is also a virtue, baby.
We aren't enemies here, honey.
Just use the help.
Your father is ready to forgive you.
Just tell him that you're sorry.
[scoffs] There's no way.
I can't play this game.
I won't apologize here
since I'm not wrong, Mom.
So you might as well
just head home to Antalya
since there's no chance
of convincing me, okay?
We can take care of ourselves. Thanks.
- [door closes]
- [sighs]
[sighs, sobbing]
God, I'm sick of this.
It's just like how it always is.
[Fiko] It's like a dream, huh?
It looks so good.
- Yeah, looks so good.
- [chuckles softly]
[kisses]
- [sighs] Fiko?
- Baby?
I'm sorry for the way that I've been.
Making mean remarks like a bully
and behaving like a dum-dum,
but I used anxiety as my excuse.
But I screwed up too.
It's been really hard on both of us.
I tried to look composed.
Seem like it's no big deal.
That's not who I am. It was a dumb idea.
What are you saying?
You purposely did that?
Well, yeah.
It's like you said.
"Don't crowd me, Fiko."
"Don't patronize me, Fiko.
I need time, Fiko. Back off, Fiko."
I'm a big softy.
That cool vibe's a bad fit for me.
No. You just made that up.
I would never say that stuff.
Not in so many words. It's how you acted.
It's been good, though, I think.
It let me focus on this place,
and I used the time to reflect.
[Sevgi] Reflect on what?
What I really love about you.
- [sighs, laughs]
- [bright music playing]
- Mm.
- All right. Tell me more, then.
When you got sick,
I just desperately wanted to help.
And after I lost my job,
I felt so useless to you.
And I couldn't afford to pay
for a proper wedding party.
Seeing you hurt so much was
was hard to handle.
I'm sorry, my love.
I promise you,
that I never quit
wanting you to get better.
- Mm?
- I thought about you, hon.
Your recovery is
what has been the top concern of mine.
I said to myself, "Fiko, you
are completely in love
with that girl, huh?"
[Sevgi chuckles]
As long as you get healthy again,
it's all right
if I'm not the guy you want.
[sighs] Can we both go home now, babe?
Hmm. Beats me.
You could get angry again.
But I won't. I promise. I actually long
to see some beard hairs in the sink now,
which I find strange, don't you?
Know what else, Fiko?
I even started to miss you at dinner.
And how you'd always eat so loud,
chomping away, you know?
- I know I was wrong. And I'm sorry, honey.
- I'm sorry too, 'kay? I'm sorry too.
Let's get back home, huh?
This time, I won't run off, okay?
Even if you kick me out.
Promise?
- [Sevgi laughs]
- [Fiko kisses]
[energetic, rhythmic music playing]
All right. Come on up, Ada.
[music fades]
[Ada sighs]
No, not here.
[tense music playing]
What's the matter?
[clicks tongue]
All right. [clears throat]
Hello, everyone.
Now, before we start,
I'll quickly explain a few aspects
of my technique for our newcomers.
- [tense music fades]
- [Leyla huffs]
Sarp?
You didn't go pee in the bed, hon.
- No pee in the bed, Mom?
- [Leyla] There's no pee in the bed!
- [Sarp] I didn't pee.
- You didn't pee, honey!
There's no pee in the bed! Wonderful, hon.
Wonderful, my precious boy!
Great! [laughs]
- I did it! It's dry! It's dry!
- [upbeat music playing]
[both] It's dry! It's dry!
No accident last night!
It's dry! It's dry! It's dry!
- [Leyla] No more pee!
- [Sarp] It's dry!
- What happened here?
- He didn't pee the bed!
There's no more pee!
- Ah.
- Success!
Success!
- No me pee, pee, pee.
- No more pee, pee, pee!
You see that? My plan worked, didn't it?
I'm not convinced your plan actually
did it, but it's great either way.
Leyla, your restaurant,
I'd be happy to go see it.
Maybe I can be useful with that as well.
Really?
- [upbeat music ends]
- [crow cawing]
All right, Ada, choose someone here
to act as your proxy.
[Ada sighs]
[Zaman] Please.
Is it me?
Um, actually,
I I don't speak Turkish, so
That doesn't matter. That doesn't matter.
It's just about feeling it.
Close your eyes.
You will know who and what you represent.
[gentle music playing]
[wind chimes jingling]
[gentle music building]
[Eva sighs]
[exhales sharply]
[crying]
[heart thumping]
- [gasps]
- [beating fades]
[Zaman] Now pick two more people
to represent your mother and father.
Him, please.
[takes a deep breath]
And her.
You will know who and what you represent.
Close your eyes, and act
on whatever feelings come to you.
Stand here.
You will also know who
and what you represent in this.
Close your eyes and act
on whatever feelings come to you.
[Eva sobbing]
[waves lapping gently]
For you, I left my own mother.
It was for you.
I left my home, the town where I lived.
I gave you a daughter.
But you?
You went off and started another family.
And I truly loved you.
Why would you hurt me, Kemal?
[music intensifies]
[sighs]
[sniffling]
All I did was love you.
And I held nothing back.
My heart was yours.
But my heart's broken.
Papa.
[sniffles]
I've been feeling
some kind of void inside, like
the loneliness you had.
And I
[takes a deep breath]
Mother, for years, like you, I've been
with partners who aren't loyal
in the relationship.
[sniffles]
[sighs]
I'm aware of it now.
[exhales deeply]
Which means I'll set myself free from it.
[triumphant vocals rise]
[sniffles]
[gasps]
[Zaman] All right. You can step back
from the expansion now.
We'll take a short break, everybody.
Go and grab something to eat.
Then we'll meet back here after that.
Go ahead.
Facing unjust treatment,
unjust judgment,
with such broken and damaged partners,
it can cause an entire family system
to get affected.
[sniffles, sighs]
[music fades]
[birds singing]
[sighs]
Hey, Ada.
Um, do you have a minute?
Sure.
Uh
I just wanted to tell you that
[sighs, under breath] Shit.
My father, he was gone.
He He disappeared
when I was a little girl.
And he never showed up again.
So
I thought maybe
that's why I was so protective about Flor.
Because
I didn't want her
to experience the same thing.
[Ada sniffles]
So
if I made your life hard,
if I did anything wrong,
I'm really sorry
because what I felt inside was
It was like we have
something in common, and
I'm sorry. I really am.
Thank you, Eva.
Thank you.
Okay, uh
- Goodbye, then.
- [Ada] Goodbye.
ELENI'S TAVERN
[bright music playing]
Hey, what do you think?
Mom, what's the matter?
"Eleni"? You picked her name, huh?
I did.
Oh.
It's to honor
my great-grandmother's memory.
So she can always be with us.
Her inheritance bought this place,
so it just seemed right.
[crying]
It's okay.
[both sigh deeply]
Ah, Leyla.
Oh, Leyla.
Let's head inside. Come on.
It's so beautiful, really.
- Please. You'll love it. I'll show you.
- [up-tempo music playing]
The kitchen will be over there.
And more tables and more tables.
And then we'll have another section
outside, beneath the olive trees.
And full of all different kinds
of lanterns and lights.
And it'll be stunning.
It's gonna be great.
[Leman] I'm sure it will be great, Leyla.
It's going to be so beautiful.
[Leyla] I'm really glad you like it.
- [up-tempo music ends]
- [distant, excited chatter]

You're supposed to be at the hospital.
Am I?
Keep the change.
Pardon me.

Gotta jump. I'll be back.
Excuse me! Excuse me!
- [Ada] Just what I needed. Ugh.
- [Diyar] Hey, doctor!
You left this.
And this seems kinda odd
to just keep on you.
How old are you, for God's sake?
How old would you like, hmm?
For God's sake?
[reads cover in Spanish]
"Transgenerational Intelligence.
Repairing the wounds of the past."
These are kinda dark subjects,
Doctor Glum.
You speak some Spanish, huh?
Sí, señorita.
Hablo español muy bien.
"La Isla Bonita."
So, then, could you maybe translate
the book for me?
- Wait, for free, you mean?
- [sighs]
Tell me. What do you want for it?
Hmm.
What could that be, then, huh?
I'd take supper
with a beautiful lady doctor.
No, no way. Not happening.
You know what?
Just put your number right in here.
I'll call if I need something.
- Don't forget this one.
- Hmm.
My phone's been destroyed, alas.
The crash before, you know?
So instead, let's get together at sunset.
Tomorrow, at this spot.
Uh-huh.
Better watch for my smoke signal, then.
It'll say, "I can't make it."
Try a club soda with some lemon, okay?
With salt.
It'll help!
Okay, bye, then!
[Ada] Oh my God, I was so trashed.
My head is still pounding.
[Sevgi] Goodness gracious.
And you say you did all this
drinking completely by yourself, huh?
You didn't, for example, have any company
while you were drinking, did you?
Completely alone.
- Uh-huh.
- [Leyla] Sevgi, honey.
You and Fiko finally made up.
Let yourself enjoy it.
Both of us are so happy for you, sweetie.
But you might wanna turn down the heat.
- We hear everything from downstairs, so
- [gasps]
Then, if both of you heard us
God help me.
It's all right.
I'm sure Muko didn't hear anything.
- The woman's not dumb.
- [Muko] Good morning, ladies.
- Mm. Hi, honey.
- [Ada] Good morning, Muko.
Some breakfast I cooked up.
- Your mom knows!
- She heard it too!
- No, I just can't. My own mother heard us?
- [Ada] Oh, honey!
Damn it.
Where'd I put it? Ah.
Hold the phone.
[Leyla] Wow!
What's this? Wow, what a great drawing!
- [Sevgi] Yeah, who drew it?
- A patient.
Just a patient, huh?
Yeah, that's it.
And does this guy require
any special care from you? Come on.
No, you've been holding onto it
for a reason, right?
So what's the whole story?
A a patient
who thinks he likes me, anyway.
[both] Ooh!
- This man likes you?
- [Sevgi] A patient.
So then tell me, Doctor Ada,
just why are you keeping this drawing
hidden in your things, huh?
I was about to dump it, but then I didn't.
- To be nice.
- Oh, really? Come on. Just to be nice?
- [Ada] Hey, seriously. It's nothing.
- Tell us more.
[Sevgi] It'll only take
a couple of minutes.
- Make this make sense to me.
- I mean, he just made that.
- [Leyla] Just tell me what's going on.
- It's nothing.
- [overlapping chatter]
- Can you stop screaming?
Just stop screaming.
You're both being way too loud.
Such a letdown. You know that, right? Ugh.
Listen up. You're young.
You're stunning.
You've got no children.
None. You're totally free.
Go! Go on some adventures!
Because if I were that free, I'd get out
and start some trouble, okay?
- [Sevgi] Oh, wow.
- Now I'm running late.
So long. Ooh, I'll take one of those.
[kisses]
Hey, by the way,
what's your mom doing today, anyway?
- She must be sleeping still, huh?
- My mom's not out yet?
I'll be right back, then.
[sobbing]
Mom, you here?
- Are you okay?
- [sniffles]
What's going on?
You're crying! Why?
Why are you crying, huh?
He would wake himself
every night, shouting.
He always had his gun under his pillow.
[somber music playing]
At first, I just believed he kept it
in order to protect our home.
At first.
But one time, I'd woken up
to him with the gun to his head,
ready to kill himself.
To this day, I still don't know
what issues he had going on inside
or what made him scream.
The man didn't have a single night
of peaceful sleep, though.
And when Erdem started coming round,
it all got worse after that.
But this was under Erdem's
I'm sorry, under Sarp's
This was under his bed, and I'm
[sniffles]
scared he'll be like his grandpa.
I don't want my grandson
to have those dreams.
[breathing shakily]
Baby, I swear that I'm always going
to protect our Sarp.
I swear. I'll do anything.
[sighs]
[sniffles]
[music fades]
[phone ringing]
Yes, hello?
[woman] Doctor Ada?
The chief of staff would like to see you.
I still have patients waiting.
He says it's urgent.
Then I'll come.
- [knocking]
- [door opens]
- I'm here.
- Ah, Doctor Ada.
Come in. Please, come in.
Patients are here for me.
Why make them wait?
Sit down, please. Sit.
Um, the reason
that I brought you here is, um
Since you told patients
to try unorthodox cures,
the directors are saying
you should be let go.
I wanted you to know.
Please, you seem to misunderstand this.
While I may be in this group,
I am not going to bring my own patients
to the group, no.
And maybe you're not doing anything wrong.
However, you're a medical professional,
so your presence
can embarrass the whole team.
I really don't care
what you do in your own time.
But still, you have to make a choice here.
Just know if you keep defying me
and going there,
then I will expect you to quit.
It seems a bit
like you're overstepping your bounds.
Maybe I should take
my case to the boardroom.
All right.
We can talk about it at the board's
next meeting, if you prefer it.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, but
until then, Doctor, you're on leave.
[tense music playing]
[monitors beeping]
THE MOONLIGHT MONASTERY
[sighs]
All right, sweet pea.
Moving forward, I need to ask you
to help out your mom with a few things.
Seem doable?
To get started,
let's bring in some of this bedding here.
And you can just focus
on these since you get 'em dirty.
And I'm helping you out, obvi.
I'm not expecting that much.
But my sheets still seem damp.
I guess we leave 'em, huh?
Let me tell you something
about damp laundry.
It's supposed to stay on the line [gasps]
[tense, rhythmic music playing]
[Leyla gasps]
Erdem!
[breathing shakily] Did you escape,
or what?
[scoffs]
[gently] Leyla.
Ow, Fiko! Go easy, 'kay?
- So sorry, my love.
- Like how I scrub your back.
Course, love.
How about something special
to honor your recovery?
[gasps] Yes, please.
- I'd better make you a feast, hmm?
- Hell yeah.
[laughs]

POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) RESULTS
NO VISIBLE PATHOLOGICAL MASS
NORMAL PANCREATIC FUNCTION
IN THE STOMACH AND THE SPLEEN
METASTATIC TUMOR
Doctor? Yeah, hi. It's Sevgi.
I just saw my PET scan results,
and I wanted to
make sure I was reading them properly.
Metastasis.
Mm-hmm.
No, Doctor.
[sniffles]
Don't bother planning treatments.
I don't want to put myself through more.
[sniffles] Doctor?
Please, just make sure
to keep this private.
Don't share any
of my exam results, please.
I don't want this shared.
[Fiko] Honey, I'm pouring you
a glass of raki!
Sounds good. I'll be right down, love!
- [Fiko] This is love!
- [chuckles softly]
[somber music fades]
[sniffles]
[sighs]
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music fades out]
[Diyar] Ada!
[bright music playing]
Let's go.
The sun's going down.
[bright instrumental music building]
[bright instrumental music concludes]
[dramatic instrumental music playing]
[music fades]
[waves lapping]
[indistinct chatter]
That's it, baby. Come on. Swim, baby.
- Come on.
- No. Stop, Daddy.
Just keep holding me. Don't let go.
Ah, do you know
the story of Archimedes, then?
No. Who's that?
A long, long time ago in Ancient Greece
lived a man named Archimedes.
Then one day, while he was in the bath,
he saw a bowl floating on the water.
Archimedes jumped up and ran out,
butt naked and screaming,
"Eureka! Eureka!'
- [giggles] Jumped out naked?
- [laughs]
And then everyone
made fun of poor Archimedes.
He seemed crazy.
But you know, it turned out
that he was one of the smartest men
in the entire world,
who learned that water
is actually buoyant.
Let's swim, hon.
Daddy, I'm gonna end up
at the bottom. Wait, please!
[father] You can do it, baby.
Don't be scared. Ready?
Set? Go! Eureka!
Eureka! Eureka!
Eureka!
[Ada] Sometimes, we expect
to hear a whisper
that tells us
what we already know in our souls.
As if we are waiting
for someone to shout out loud,
"Eureka" at the truths we can plainly see.
ANOTHER SELF
[horn honks]
["Olmaz Olsun" playing in distance]
[up-tempo Turkish song
continues on laptop]
[Sevgi grunts]
The time has come.
It's time to start completely fresh. Hmm.
[softly] Leyla, honey.
[Leyla sighs]
My things are all getting brought up
to Sevgi's to live with her.
But it's just upstairs, so I'm still here
if you need something, okay?
- Muko.
- Huh?
Thank you for everything you've done.
- [kisses] My darling.
- Thank you. [sighs sadly]
["Olmaz Olsun" blasting upstairs]
[heavy footsteps falling]
[in Turkish]
When have they made anyone happy? ♪
[singing along] A genuine smile
A sweet word ♪
A compassionate kiss, a loving look ♪
That's all I need ♪
[in English] Sevgi?
[in Turkish] All I need is your love
Not money ♪
[in English]
Sevgi, what's going on, honey?
Sevgi, you're saying?
[Sevgi] I am, Mom!
- [squeals]
- [exclaims] Sevgi!
My life can really begin again.
It's my next chapter. It's over!
All our hopes
and prayers have been answered!
[both exclaim]
[Muko] Oh, my baby!
Oh, honey!
Hey, you two, quit it,
or Mavi's gonna start crying again!
- Go and get her!
- You should wake her. That's right!
- What's going on?
- Can't you guess?
[Muko] Think, what would make us dance?
- [laughs]
- [gasps, squeals]
[both exclaim]
- [all laughing]
- [Leyla] Oh! That's great!
- ["Olmaz Olsun" cuts out]
- [cell phone ringing]
- Hello?
- Hey.
Well, I assumed that you might not care.
That was before, but
Leyla had mentioned your message?
[hesitating] Sevgi, of course.
It matters to me. What is it?
I'm clear, Fiko.
They said I'm clear! [laughs]
Oh, that's so That's amazing. I
That's some great news. Sevgi!
Sevgi, I'm so glad.
Oh, thank you, Fiko.
- That's about it.
- Ah, all right, then.
See you around, then?
[sighs deeply]
["Olmaz Olsun" continues]
[group singing along]
[all cheer]
- ["Olmaz Olsun" fades out]
- [insects chirring]
[Ada] A patient of mine told the hospital
she saw me here, and now it's
like I was convicted of a crime.
Is that what kept you from practicing?
I did eventually quit my hospital job.
My colleagues were confused,
I would imagine.
Then why are you alone here?
[birds singing]
Is it because of what you do?
It's quite simple.
I think that I made mistakes
which led to loneliness, perhaps.
But tell me, Ada.
Why do you think that you're alone?
[sighs]
Beats me.
I don't know.
It's like, no matter
where I end up in life,
no matter who I'm with,
I seem to be lonely all the time.
Nobody's a part of my life now.
But I still feel lonely.
- I guess it must be fate.
- [Zaman] Hmm.
Or something like it.
Let's prove it with an experiment.
Come on.
Come on.
I want you to pick a stone
to represent you.
[sounds reverberate]
[Ada breathing deeply]
[waves lapping]
[ethereal instrumental music playing]
[Zaman] Place the next ones anywhere.
You can take two more.
[sounds reverberate]
[waves lapping nearby]
[sounds reverberate]
- Still one more?
- [Zaman] Mm-hmm.
[Ada] Mm.
[sighs]
[exhales sharply]
[sounds reverberate]
[music intensifies]
[Ada] Who's this piece?
That one's your partner, I think.
My partner separated from me.
Potential partner, then. That's him.
You two likely haven't met yet, see?
Because now,
you're facing another direction.
What's there?
[sounds reverberate]
[Zaman, slowly] Your father's
other partner.
Zaman, anyone who's
beyond immediate family
Just wait.
[sighs]
[sounds reverberate]
[Zaman] I want you to look at her.
Now, what do you feel?
[quietly] But what's the point?
Trust me, please.

TO MY MÜJGAN
[speaking inaudibly]
[dramatic music building]
[dramatic music subsides]
It pains me to look.
[takes a deep breath]
Let's explore this tomorrow.
[exhales]
[stones clattering]
[sniffles]
Tell me more
about this placement technique thing.
You're already learning it, Ada.
This is a process,
and time is the key element.
Well, I'm about to be terminated.
But just maybe, I'll bring them onboard
if you show me somehow.
Unless the waters of your own spirit
can stay calm and clear,
peering into another's water is hard.
Ada?
- Muko. Great news!
- [Muko] It's good to see you!
- Our girl's cancer-free!
- Sweetheart! I'm so happy. I really am.
- [both laughing]
- [gasps] Just look at you!
[all laugh and exclaim]
Ah! Remember what I said? Remember?
About how you had beaten it before,
my love?
- Do you remember that?
- Yes. Thank you, Ada.
- I'm so grateful for your help, Ada!
- But, baby, it wasn't me at all.
Please. I should thank you, love.
Your courage has kept me going.
You've made me a stronger person.
- [Sevgi] I did?
- [Ada] Of course you did.
- [Muko] Come and get it. Dinner is ready.
- Great. Thanks. Let's go.
- Now, we need to make some plans for you.
- [Sevgi] Hmm.
- Diet plans,
- Of course.
- Exercising, mental health
- Course.
It's all important,
but we'll take it slow.
- No rush. We want gain, not pain.
- Yeah, slow.
- [Ada sighs]
- What's got you down?
You're upset.
No, it's just something
at the hospital, that's all.
You know what?
I don't think they
sent your tests to me yet. I'll check.
Pfft, but wait.
I have something to tell the two of you.
I do not want to hear a single thing
about this cancer business, please.
Not the tests,
not the analysis, the results, nothing.
Not a damn thing
about any more of this drama.
- Of course.
- Of course, love.
- Of course. All right.
- [Sevgi] Mm.
- Oh, my love. Oh, my darling.
- Okay, Madam Mukadder.
- I just want to pig out.
- Anything.
- Yes, eat anything.
- Eat everything up.
Mwah! You darling babies.
Oh, I love you both.
[up-tempo music playing]
[cat meows]
I just think I'm entitled
to be way more nuts than anybody.
Ugh, what's the matter
with this kid, anyway?
I have to clean his sheets
every single day.
God, give me patience. I can't.
I have to take care of the baby,
but here I am,
dealing with the older one for no reason.
[blows, sighs]
[grunts]
[tearfully] Time to face the music.
It all comes to this.
Farewell, Leyla.
You're just like Cinderella now,
aren't you?
- [inhales sharply]
- [knocking on door]
[Leyla] Shh!
Here I am.
[up-tempo music fades]
Where'd he go?
He's been discharged, Doctor.
- Wait, my patient was?
- He was, yes.
REPOR
[chime rings on PA]
[wistful music playing]
[Canan] Good morning, Doctor.
There's something I've been meaning
to mention to you.
I'd suggest that you skip
that group session for some time.
You said you supported me.
Ada, it's not about my opinion.
Someone just took a complaint
right to the board.
And everybody's talking.
I'm telling you now
so it's not a surprise.
[sighs] Understood.
Thank you.
[somber music playing]
TRANSGENERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
[Leman] Can't you find
a better place to live, honey?
This place seems a little damp.
That's all.
It's not great for the children.
I'm just saying.
You know, I didn't get to pick between
grand mansions here, Mommy dearest.
So this was the best option.
Ah, but Leyla, I'm just so upset
that you would keep making mistakes.
And that mistake is what?
How could you make more children
with that deadbeat, huh?
What happened to thinking first?
Hey, hold up.
Go on and explain how you help anyone
at all by just picking a fight over it.
Huh?
It's not like Erdem ever had
your approval anyway.
But enough is enough.
No, Leyla, it's not.
This man is why you didn't bother
finishing your bachelor's degree program.
But where is he now?
He's in prison,
and what are you left with?
And you're opening
a restaurant now? Please.
Your father's an honored soldier.
- Erdem's
- Erdem's what, Mother?
What is Erdem? Tell me.
I can't handle much more.
Put on your glasses,
and look around at where we are now.
No matter how you feel about it,
it's Erdem
that gave you grandbabies, okay?
You think your husband's
such an upstanding guy?
- What?
- Hasn't he made any mistakes in his life?
- Huh?
- What do you mean?
So he's made of pure gold?
Just tell me about one
of these mistakes, then! Just one!
Mother, don't.
Please try helping me out. For once.
You said you came here to help me, right?
Just forget about the rest.
Us talking about it will upset us both.
Wait, wait, wait. [sighs]
Put me to some use, then.
I'll clean his sheets to start.
He's too old
to pee in his bed, dear. [sighs]
Clean up in the shower.
I'll watch the baby. Go on.
[sighs]
[exhales] A shower.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [Muko] Oh.
This is a nice spot,
in the shade and breezy.
Well, you know. It's just too hot, huh?
Arif, hey, please.
Bring us two glasses of sour grape juice?
[Muko] My darling girl.
Getting to spend
more mother-daughter time is nice.
I love being out with you.
It sure has been a while.
Hmm.
We have some important things
to converse about, still, don't we?
We're not gonna keep hiding things
just because we made up.
Hiding what?
Maybe my dad, to start off?
Spill the beans on him.
Tell me everything. Come on.
Tell me what kind of man he was.
- Or maybe how you guys first met.
- Ah.
Thank you, Arif. Perfect.
- Looks great. Thank you.
- Tell me the story, okay?
Is there a grave to go to?
Can you maybe just tell me
about how he died?
What was his family name?
What good does bringing it up serve,
Sevgi, huh?
It's too painful.
It's in the past, anyway, dear.
So what's the point in finding out now?
Hey, this can help me fill the void, okay?
It's part of who I am.
Why can't I visit his grave, huh?
Mom?
[Muko] Isn't that Fiko?
Hey, Fiko! F
- Fiko! Fiko!
- Hang on.
- That must be Fiko there. By the bike.
- Just hold on.
Wait, that really is Fiko.
- Fiko! Fiko!
- That's it. I'll see you soon. Gotta run.
Just stop running, Fiko.
You're in trouble now, Fiko.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
This is urgent.
- Sure, ma'am.
- Just follow that bike. Go.
Hurry up and follow it!
[engine revs]
Yes, yes! Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn.
Ah, It's like I died and went to heaven.
Ah, it's so nice. [grunts]
- [Sarp] Mommy!
- [Leman] Get back over here!
- Come here! Hey!
- Sarp?
Get back here, now! Bring it over here!
I'll burn your weenie to stop you
from peeing in the bed again!
- Stay away!
- [Leman] Get back here!
Sarp!
Open it! Come on!
[both panting]
- Sarp! Hang on!
- [Leman] Get back here. Come here.
[Leyla] Mom, what's going on?
What's wrong?
- Just leave me alone!
- [Leman] Come here.
It's okay. This repels evil.
That's all. Don't worry.
Hang on. Stop. Calm down for a minute.
- Whoa!
- Just trust me, hon.
My method will really work on him.
He's a big boy, isn't he?
This is traumatizing the kid. Look at you!
- He's fine. You get back here!
- Hey!
- Just wait. Can you stop it? Sarp?
- [Leman] Come here.
You guys?
[Sevgi] You can drop me off
after the turn.
Hey! There's his ATV.
Just drop me off here.
[sighs] You're such a lifesaver.
Thanks so much. You're great.
Fiko!
Sevgi?
Where'd she go?
- [Fiko] Who?
- Fiko, where'd she go?
Got the measurements, kiddo.
So I'll have them ready by next week.
Let me know what else you need.
Thanks, Auntie Sevim.
Thanks for everything.
Here's my wife, Sevgi, yeah?
My aunt's helping us make some curtains.
We're super close.
[Sevim] Wow. Your wife is so beautiful.
You're so blessed.
- [Fiko] I'll give you a ride back.
- I'll walk.
It's good for my legs.
Have a good one, kiddos.
- You're the greatest. Thank you.
- [Sevgi] Thank you. Yeah, take care.
Yeah. Take care, all right?
[laughs]
- [laughs mockingly]
- You're such a sleuth. Wow.
- Oh, so you're laughing?
- I am, yeah.
Good. Sounds good.
What would happen
if you saw me on a random bike
with a stranger like that, Mr. Joke Man?
Whoa!
Actually, who brought you out here?
Well, I did come out with some dude
who so kindly drove all this way.
What?
What, what?
So just quit pestering me,
or I'm gonna have to do something.
- Something, huh?
- Yeah, I'll
Hey, you're in trouble now. [laughs]
Hey, Fiko! Hey. [giggles]
- [moans softly]
- [romantic guitar music playing]
[gulls calling]
[music fades]
[crickets chirping outside]
[Ada takes a deep breath]
[case shuts]
[knocking on door]
Hey. Come here a minute, hon.
- It's molasses. Here.
- Ew, I hate that, Mom.
It helps you make more milk.
Here you go. Open. Here.
- Mm.
- [Leyla] Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
It's good. And for the baby.
- [grunts] Hey, um
- [Leman] Yes, hon?
Please sit down.
Of course.
[sighs]
Dad would never let you
do anything like this.
So then, how did you convince him?
- He said I can come on one condition.
- Tell me.
Just as long as I could bring you
to Antalya again.
- What?
- Baby, let's get you packed up.
It'll be wonderful. Please, Leyla.
- It's time you quit this tantrum of yours.
- Hey, listen.
You think I'm some kid?
I'm building a life here.
I'm starting a business here.
There's no point in going backwards.
Antalya's got nothing for me, Mother.
Mom, I won't come back.
I'm not a kid anymore.
But don't you deserve
to go further in life?
Don't your children deserve good things?
You're a wreck, baby. Just look.
And you don't know anything
about running a restaurant business.
You'll get tricked and duped.
And when it's done, they'll dump you flat.
Apparently, you don't have
a shred of faith in me.
How nice of you.
Accepting that you've made
a mistake is also a virtue, baby.
We aren't enemies here, honey.
Just use the help.
Your father is ready to forgive you.
Just tell him that you're sorry.
[scoffs] There's no way.
I can't play this game.
I won't apologize here
since I'm not wrong, Mom.
So you might as well
just head home to Antalya
since there's no chance
of convincing me, okay?
We can take care of ourselves. Thanks.
- [door closes]
- [sighs]
[sighs, sobbing]
God, I'm sick of this.
It's just like how it always is.
[Fiko] It's like a dream, huh?
It looks so good.
- Yeah, looks so good.
- [chuckles softly]
[kisses]
- [sighs] Fiko?
- Baby?
I'm sorry for the way that I've been.
Making mean remarks like a bully
and behaving like a dum-dum,
but I used anxiety as my excuse.
But I screwed up too.
It's been really hard on both of us.
I tried to look composed.
Seem like it's no big deal.
That's not who I am. It was a dumb idea.
What are you saying?
You purposely did that?
Well, yeah.
It's like you said.
"Don't crowd me, Fiko."
"Don't patronize me, Fiko.
I need time, Fiko. Back off, Fiko."
I'm a big softy.
That cool vibe's a bad fit for me.
No. You just made that up.
I would never say that stuff.
Not in so many words. It's how you acted.
It's been good, though, I think.
It let me focus on this place,
and I used the time to reflect.
[Sevgi] Reflect on what?
What I really love about you.
- [sighs, laughs]
- [bright music playing]
- Mm.
- All right. Tell me more, then.
When you got sick,
I just desperately wanted to help.
And after I lost my job,
I felt so useless to you.
And I couldn't afford to pay
for a proper wedding party.
Seeing you hurt so much was
was hard to handle.
I'm sorry, my love.
I promise you,
that I never quit
wanting you to get better.
- Mm?
- I thought about you, hon.
Your recovery is
what has been the top concern of mine.
I said to myself, "Fiko, you
are completely in love
with that girl, huh?"
[Sevgi chuckles]
As long as you get healthy again,
it's all right
if I'm not the guy you want.
[sighs] Can we both go home now, babe?
Hmm. Beats me.
You could get angry again.
But I won't. I promise. I actually long
to see some beard hairs in the sink now,
which I find strange, don't you?
Know what else, Fiko?
I even started to miss you at dinner.
And how you'd always eat so loud,
chomping away, you know?
- I know I was wrong. And I'm sorry, honey.
- I'm sorry too, 'kay? I'm sorry too.
Let's get back home, huh?
This time, I won't run off, okay?
Even if you kick me out.
Promise?
- [Sevgi laughs]
- [Fiko kisses]
[energetic, rhythmic music playing]
All right. Come on up, Ada.
[music fades]
[Ada sighs]
No, not here.
[tense music playing]
What's the matter?
[clicks tongue]
All right. [clears throat]
Hello, everyone.
Now, before we start,
I'll quickly explain a few aspects
of my technique for our newcomers.
- [tense music fades]
- [Leyla huffs]
Sarp?
You didn't go pee in the bed, hon.
- No pee in the bed, Mom?
- [Leyla] There's no pee in the bed!
- [Sarp] I didn't pee.
- You didn't pee, honey!
There's no pee in the bed! Wonderful, hon.
Wonderful, my precious boy!
Great! [laughs]
- I did it! It's dry! It's dry!
- [upbeat music playing]
[both] It's dry! It's dry!
No accident last night!
It's dry! It's dry! It's dry!
- [Leyla] No more pee!
- [Sarp] It's dry!
- What happened here?
- He didn't pee the bed!
There's no more pee!
- Ah.
- Success!
Success!
- No me pee, pee, pee.
- No more pee, pee, pee!
You see that? My plan worked, didn't it?
I'm not convinced your plan actually
did it, but it's great either way.
Leyla, your restaurant,
I'd be happy to go see it.
Maybe I can be useful with that as well.
Really?
- [upbeat music ends]
- [crow cawing]
All right, Ada, choose someone here
to act as your proxy.
[Ada sighs]
[Zaman] Please.
Is it me?
Um, actually,
I I don't speak Turkish, so
That doesn't matter. That doesn't matter.
It's just about feeling it.
Close your eyes.
You will know who and what you represent.
[gentle music playing]
[wind chimes jingling]
[gentle music building]
[Eva sighs]
[exhales sharply]
[crying]
[heart thumping]
- [gasps]
- [beating fades]
[Zaman] Now pick two more people
to represent your mother and father.
Him, please.
[takes a deep breath]
And her.
You will know who and what you represent.
Close your eyes, and act
on whatever feelings come to you.
Stand here.
You will also know who
and what you represent in this.
Close your eyes and act
on whatever feelings come to you.
[Eva sobbing]
[waves lapping gently]
For you, I left my own mother.
It was for you.
I left my home, the town where I lived.
I gave you a daughter.
But you?
You went off and started another family.
And I truly loved you.
Why would you hurt me, Kemal?
[music intensifies]
[sighs]
[sniffling]
All I did was love you.
And I held nothing back.
My heart was yours.
But my heart's broken.
Papa.
[sniffles]
I've been feeling
some kind of void inside, like
the loneliness you had.
And I
[takes a deep breath]
Mother, for years, like you, I've been
with partners who aren't loyal
in the relationship.
[sniffles]
[sighs]
I'm aware of it now.
[exhales deeply]
Which means I'll set myself free from it.
[triumphant vocals rise]
[sniffles]
[gasps]
[Zaman] All right. You can step back
from the expansion now.
We'll take a short break, everybody.
Go and grab something to eat.
Then we'll meet back here after that.
Go ahead.
Facing unjust treatment,
unjust judgment,
with such broken and damaged partners,
it can cause an entire family system
to get affected.
[sniffles, sighs]
[music fades]
[birds singing]
[sighs]
Hey, Ada.
Um, do you have a minute?
Sure.
Uh
I just wanted to tell you that
[sighs, under breath] Shit.
My father, he was gone.
He He disappeared
when I was a little girl.
And he never showed up again.
So
I thought maybe
that's why I was so protective about Flor.
Because
I didn't want her
to experience the same thing.
[Ada sniffles]
So
if I made your life hard,
if I did anything wrong,
I'm really sorry
because what I felt inside was
It was like we have
something in common, and
I'm sorry. I really am.
Thank you, Eva.
Thank you.
Okay, uh
- Goodbye, then.
- [Ada] Goodbye.
ELENI'S TAVERN
[bright music playing]
Hey, what do you think?
Mom, what's the matter?
"Eleni"? You picked her name, huh?
I did.
Oh.
It's to honor
my great-grandmother's memory.
So she can always be with us.
Her inheritance bought this place,
so it just seemed right.
[crying]
It's okay.
[both sigh deeply]
Ah, Leyla.
Oh, Leyla.
Let's head inside. Come on.
It's so beautiful, really.
- Please. You'll love it. I'll show you.
- [up-tempo music playing]
The kitchen will be over there.
And more tables and more tables.
And then we'll have another section
outside, beneath the olive trees.
And full of all different kinds
of lanterns and lights.
And it'll be stunning.
It's gonna be great.
[Leman] I'm sure it will be great, Leyla.
It's going to be so beautiful.
[Leyla] I'm really glad you like it.
- [up-tempo music ends]
- [distant, excited chatter]

Can you bring my bill?
[Diyar] Excuse me. Sorry.
Excuse me. Pardon.
Hey, there are a few dancing spots
here in Ayvalık, huh?
Why are you here?
You're supposed to be at the hospital.
Am I?
Keep the change.
Pardon me.
Excuse me. Sorry. Excuse me.
Sorry, can you
Excuse me. Sorry.
Gotta jump. I'll be back.
Excuse me! Excuse me!
- [Ada] Just what I needed. Ugh.
- [Diyar] Hey, doctor!
You left this.
And this seems kinda odd
to just keep on you.
How old are you, for God's sake?
How old would you like, hmm?
For God's sake?
[reads cover in Spanish]
"Transgenerational Intelligence.
Repairing the wounds of the past."
These are kinda dark subjects,
Doctor Glum.
You speak some Spanish, huh?
Sí, señorita.
Hablo español muy bien.
"La Isla Bonita."
So, then, could you maybe translate
the book for me?
- Wait, for free, you mean?
- [sighs]
Tell me. What do you want for it?
Hmm.
What could that be, then, huh?
I'd take supper
with a beautiful lady doctor.
No, no way. Not happening.
You know what?
Just put your number right in here.
I'll call if I need something.
- Don't forget this one.
- Hmm.
My phone's been destroyed, alas.
The crash before, you know?
So instead, let's get together at sunset.
Tomorrow, at this spot.
Uh-huh.
Better watch for my smoke signal, then.
It'll say, "I can't make it."
Try a club soda with some lemon, okay?
With salt.
It'll help!
Okay, bye, then!
[Ada] Oh my God, I was so trashed.
My head is still pounding.
[Sevgi] Goodness gracious.
And you say you did all this
drinking completely by yourself, huh?
You didn't, for example, have any company
while you were drinking, did you?
Completely alone.
- Uh-huh.
- [Leyla] Sevgi, honey.
You and Fiko finally made up.
Let yourself enjoy it.
Both of us are so happy for you, sweetie.
But you might wanna turn down the heat.
- We hear everything from downstairs, so
- [gasps]
Then, if both of you heard us
God help me.
It's all right.
I'm sure Muko didn't hear anything.
- The woman's not dumb.
- [Muko] Good morning, ladies.
- Mm. Hi, honey.
- [Ada] Good morning, Muko.
Some breakfast I cooked up.
- Your mom knows!
- She heard it too!
- No, I just can't. My own mother heard us?
- [Ada] Oh, honey!
Damn it.
Where'd I put it? Ah.
Hold the phone.
[Leyla] Wow!
What's this? Wow, what a great drawing!
- [Sevgi] Yeah, who drew it?
- A patient.
Just a patient, huh?
Yeah, that's it.
And does this guy require
any special care from you? Come on.
No, you've been holding onto it
for a reason, right?
So what's the whole story?
A a patient
who thinks he likes me, anyway.
[both] Ooh!
- This man likes you?
- [Sevgi] A patient.
So then tell me, Doctor Ada,
just why are you keeping this drawing
hidden in your things, huh?
I was about to dump it, but then I didn't.
- To be nice.
- Oh, really? Come on. Just to be nice?
- [Ada] Hey, seriously. It's nothing.
- Tell us more.
[Sevgi] It'll only take
a couple of minutes.
- Make this make sense to me.
- I mean, he just made that.
- [Leyla] Just tell me what's going on.
- It's nothing.
- [overlapping chatter]
- Can you stop screaming?
Just stop screaming.
You're both being way too loud.
Such a letdown. You know that, right? Ugh.
Listen up. You're young.
You're stunning.
You've got no children.
None. You're totally free.
Go! Go on some adventures!
Because if I were that free, I'd get out
and start some trouble, okay?
- [Sevgi] Oh, wow.
- Now I'm running late.
So long. Ooh, I'll take one of those.
[kisses]
Hey, by the way,
what's your mom doing today, anyway?
- She must be sleeping still, huh?
- My mom's not out yet?
I'll be right back, then.
[sobbing]
Mom, you here?
- Are you okay?
- [sniffles]
What's going on?
You're crying! Why?
Why are you crying, huh?
He would wake himself
every night, shouting.
He always had his gun under his pillow.
[somber music playing]
At first, I just believed he kept it
in order to protect our home.
At first.
But one time, I'd woken up
to him with the gun to his head,
ready to kill himself.
To this day, I still don't know
what issues he had going on inside
or what made him scream.
The man didn't have a single night
of peaceful sleep, though.
And when Erdem started coming round,
it all got worse after that.
But this was under Erdem's
I'm sorry, under Sarp's
This was under his bed, and I'm
[sniffles]
scared he'll be like his grandpa.
I don't want my grandson
to have those dreams.
[breathing shakily]
Baby, I swear that I'm always going
to protect our Sarp.
I swear. I'll do anything.
[sighs]
[sniffles]
[music fades]
[phone ringing]
Yes, hello?
[woman] Doctor Ada?
The chief of staff would like to see you.
I still have patients waiting.
He says it's urgent.
Then I'll come.
- [knocking]
- [door opens]
- I'm here.
- Ah, Doctor Ada.
Come in. Please, come in.
Patients are here for me.
Why make them wait?
Sit down, please. Sit.
Um, the reason
that I brought you here is, um
Since you told patients
to try unorthodox cures,
the directors are saying
you should be let go.
I wanted you to know.
Please, you seem to misunderstand this.
While I may be in this group,
I am not going to bring my own patients
to the group, no.
And maybe you're not doing anything wrong.
However, you're a medical professional,
so your presence
can embarrass the whole team.
I really don't care
what you do in your own time.
But still, you have to make a choice here.
Just know if you keep defying me
and going there,
then I will expect you to quit.
It seems a bit
like you're overstepping your bounds.
Maybe I should take
my case to the boardroom.
All right.
We can talk about it at the board's
next meeting, if you prefer it.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, but
until then, Doctor, you're on leave.
[tense music playing]
[monitors beeping]
THE MOONLIGHT MONASTERY
[sighs]
All right, sweet pea.
Moving forward, I need to ask you
to help out your mom with a few things.
Seem doable?
To get started,
let's bring in some of this bedding here.
And you can just focus
on these since you get 'em dirty.
And I'm helping you out, obvi.
I'm not expecting that much.
But my sheets still seem damp.
I guess we leave 'em, huh?
Let me tell you something
about damp laundry.
It's supposed to stay on the line [gasps]
[tense, rhythmic music playing]
[Leyla gasps]
Erdem!
[breathing shakily] Did you escape,
or what?
[scoffs]
[gently] Leyla.
Ow, Fiko! Go easy, 'kay?
- So sorry, my love.
- Like how I scrub your back.
Course, love.
How about something special
to honor your recovery?
[gasps] Yes, please.
- I'd better make you a feast, hmm?
- Hell yeah.
[laughs]

Doctor? Yeah, hi. It's Sevgi.
I just saw my PET scan results,
and I wanted to
make sure I was reading them properly.
Metastasis.
Mm-hmm.
No, Doctor.
[sniffles]
Don't bother planning treatments.
I don't want to put myself through more.
[sniffles] Doctor?
Please, just make sure
to keep this private.
Don't share any
of my exam results, please.
I don't want this shared.
[Fiko] Honey, I'm pouring you
a glass of raki!
Sounds good. I'll be right down, love!
