A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Sir.
Thanks.
[rock music playing]
[yells] All right!
[sniffles]
[telephone rings]
Yeah, what do you want?
Oh shit!
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, what have you got for me?
What?
Are you serious?
[Osman] Kerem.
Sinan, what's going to happen?
We couldn't stop it.
Necdet's the new principal.
Then why would you try
to make me believe
that this thing wasn't over!
But it is! It is!
Everything is over, Sinan!
Now, get out of my house!
Don't look at me like that!
Just get the fuck out!
I don't want to see you again! Ever!
Işık, please
I don't want to hear it! Get out!
[Eda] Işık?
Oh, look who it is.
It's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
We just came here to
figure out what to do next.
Shut the fuck up, Eda.
Stop trying to help me.
Stop messing with other peoples' lives.
I'm sick of it.
Do you think you're
going to save me or something?
I never asked you to do this.
I didn't want you to help me.
But no, you guys had to find a project.
You try to solve other people's problems
instead of dealing with
any of your own shit.
- Işık.
- Sinan, fuck off!
I don't want you
to come around here anymore.
Just get out of my life!
- Come on, come back here!
- [Kerem] Sinan.
- Işık!
- Sinan. Sinan.
Hey. Hey.
[gate door slams]
Listen, I don't like it either
but we have to give her space.
Come on.
Sinan, just look at me.
Come on. Let's get out of here.
[Sinan] Get off me.
["Iron Sky" by Paolo Nutini playing]
Move.
[Kerem] Sinan!

Just leave me the fuck along, okay?

Come on, just leave me alone!
What the fuck is so hard

Why don't you leave?

Into freedom ♪

Rain on me ♪
Come on in.
Do you mind?
No, it's fine.
Hey there?
You hungry? Here.
Oh, you're a big guy, aren't you?
Good boy. Come on. Take a look around.
Go on. Go on. Go.
[knocking on door]
There's something I need to say.
- And it really can't wait any longer.
- I'm listening.
Well then
Um, I know it's late, but I was thinking
about the reason you suspended me
and I just thought
that you should know that
Good evening, Miss.
Sinan?
- [Kemal sighs]
- What's going on here?
What's Sinan doing here?
- I would rather not answer that question.
- I insist you do.
Come on. Do I really look
like such a troublemaker to you?
Mm-hmm. I think that's you exactly.
Tell me, Kemal.
[inhales]
He got kicked out.
I don't really know the situation,
but he's been staying here for a while.
I know there are
unresolved issues between us
but I'm asking you just this once,
please stay out of this for me.
Okay. I will.
You will?
Well, thank you.
So tell me. Why did you come here tonight?
The school.
Mmm.
All of Necdet's terrible ideas.
- How can you just
- No, stop. Stop, stop, stop. Stop.
[sighs] Why do we keep
playing games with each other?
What are we going to do about us?
I just can't pretend
like nothing happened.
You're right here. Both of us are.
My house, my living room.
You decided to come.
What are we still arguing about?
Stop denying it.
You're right.
I guess I don't know
why I came either, Kemal.
[emotional music playing]
[glass shatters]
[knocking on door]
[exhales]
Can we talk for a bit?
Yeah, sure.
I could really use the company.
What's the matter with you?
Oh, we're gonna need
something a lot stronger than tea
if we're going to get anywhere tonight.
[Burcu chuckles]
I'm just going to go
and grab a bottle for us, okay?
Yes, please.
This will help.
- You sure about that?
- Yeah.
["İki Yabancı" by Teoman playing]
So, tell me
what's been bothering you lately.
This woman is driving me insane.
I swear I'm going crazy.
Forget about me for a second.
It kinda seems like
something just happened to you as well.
What's there to say?
I just keep running in circles.
This entire situation is driving me crazy.
And why should this
even matter with all our other problems?
What other problems?
What Necdet's been up to?
And Kemal's just going along with it?
Oh, come on. Are you serious?
You gotta get past that.
That isn't your problem.
Of course it's my problem, Eda.
You expect me to do nothing?
Okay, I think we need to get
to the bottom of something here.
Why don't you just tell me why
you are torturing this guy like this?
But he's the one torturing me!
What did I do to him?
He ended the relationship.
He just decided one day
to turn his back on me.
Yeah, and then he suspends me
from my own school, what's with that?
Comes all the way here
just to talk about school.
Maybe she's playing a game with you.
What game is that?
She needs a metaphor
to say how she really feels.
Cause maybe she's
too embarrassed to say it outright.
Just play along.
I really hate fucking metaphors.
He tells me what he wants is clarity
when he won't make any promises himself.
So you are saying he
should propose to you or something?
No, I'm not even talking about that.
Then, what is it?
I just want to feel certainty.
She can't be sure about me.
Whatever in the hell that means.
Well, how could she be?
You sent her away,
completely shut her out.
What did you expect?
All right, let's back up a second
and talk honestly with each other.
- Don't get angry, okay?
- I can take it. Let me hear it.
[sighs]
You know what?
Maybe you don't actually
deserve to be with this guy.
Think about your last boyfriend,
Tuncay or whatever.
You were almost going to
marry that shitty guy.
And?
Be honest.
He was not even close
to being on the same level as Kemal.
Maybe you just don't believe
a man like that can love you.
Maybe you're afraid
he'll figure it out one day
and be like, "'Maybe
that girl isn't so great after all?"
Maybe this is happening
because you don't love yourself.
So come on! Stop it.
Believe in yourself a little.
No point in whining about it.
I don't want to piss you off,
but he's got a point.
Forgive her. You need to support her.
We're all human.
Life's not as clear as a basketball game.
Why am I listening to
some high school kid? Here.
This high school kid
might be your last hope.
[boy] How you doing, Ahmet?
Hey there.
You heard the news?
Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah, I heard.
Got any nuts?
- What?
- The nuts.
I must have forgotten.
What's going on? You okay?
I am not.
What happened to you?
[school bell rings]
[indistinct muffled voices]
[Suzan] Good morning everyone.
Okay. Settle down.
I finished grading your papers.
- Why don't we start with that?
- Uh, ma'am?
[sighs] What is it, Osman?
- We only just started.
- Can I please be excused?
Why is that?
I'm not sure.
I couldn't think of a good lie.
[students laugh]
[Suzan] Fine, Osman.
That's probably for the best.
Be on your way.
That's right.
Anyway, I have graded your papers.
In general, they're not great.
Also, I told you this many times,
but I hate it when Aristotle
is referred to as "Aristo."
[motorcycle engine starts]
[horn honking]
[rock music playing]
Eda.
Now this is something!
This is incredible work.
Please keep going, you hear me?
Don't you let anything get in your way.
You're really coming into your own.
You're doing great!
Thank you, I will.
[motorcycle engine revving]
[exhales]
- Hi, son.
- Hey, Mom.
Well, our beloved son Kerem
finally decided to show up.
What a pleasant surprise.
It's truly an honor to have you
here in our presence tonight.
[mother] Why don't you have some salad?
No, thanks.
So tell me, what are you thinking?
You only have a few months left.
I wonder if you have any kind of a plan.
No, I don't.
The university exam?
- Not taking it.
- Not taking it?
Of course. Only five months to study.
Who could possibly make
any progress in that time, right?
I don't know what I expected.
I had hoped you'd turn things around.
There's no hope for you, is there?
- [high-pitched ringing]
- [heartbeat pounding]
You know? That's right Dad.
There's no hope for me anymore.
So why don't you just give up on me?
You don't have to make an effort anymore.
Get over it.
It's over.
I'll have some salad, Mom.
[mother] Okay, dear.
[Kerem grunts]
- Eda?
- [Eda giggles]
[Eda] I've missed you.
Come on and play!
Come on.
[backboard rattles]
[boy] Come on, man.
[thunder rumbles]
[sighs]
[sighs]
Elif
What's going on?
You asked for us?
Osman?
It's about him?
- Excuse me?
- She's asking if Osman's coming.
- Ah.
- [Eda] Oh. See for yourself.
You asked for me?
She asked for all of us,
but she especially wants to see you.
So, let's cut to the chase.
What's this about?
What are you going to do now?
Işık is still expelled.
Necdet's the principal.
Your plan fell through.
Great job! You totally nailed it.
- I thought this was important for you.
- It is important.
Actually, there's nothing more important.
It's just that
we're sort of out of ideas.
Also, Osman's off his game. We're stuck.
There must be something.
Osman, help us out.
Trust me,
I'm just as desperate as you guys.
What's up? You've been
acting super weird the last few days.
I don't know either.
It's like I'm brain dead.
- Listen, we're seeing Işık tonight.
- She won't let us in.
I'll break down the door.
We're going. That's the end of it.
Elif comes as well,
since you're so worried about it, yeah?
- Sinan.
- [Sinan] Hmm?
Come here for a second. You too.
Guys, come on!
- What's up with her?
- Just walk.
[melancholy music playing]
You're really good at piano.
I know.
You know, obviously.
That was stupid of me.
- Did something happen?
- Did something happen?
Yeah, but
But what?
Not your fault. Don't worry.
Elif?
I think you should
give them another chance.
I mean, I know it's not
really any of my business,
but can't you see
that they really care about you?
You're lucky to have them.
Sinan was there? How is he?
I'm not sure.
He doesn't come to class
so I don't see him a lot.
He would come here to study.
I mean, tutor me for the exam that is.
What do you mean?
Never mind.
[Elif sighs]
Hey, you have a thing for Osman, right?
What gave you that idea?
[giggles]
Well, it's kind of like being sick.
You know?
And you can tell when someone else
has the same illness you have.
There should be a way
to do group therapy for it.
Because you can only help someone in love
if you know what they're going through.
I'm Işık
I'm a love-aholic.
Or something.
[chuckles]
Welcome to the group, Işık.
How did you know about me?
What did you see?
It was actually pretty easy to see.
Like, when you walk into a room
you don't see anyone else but him.
[emotional music playing]
[Işık] You always check on him,
standing here or there.
Is he smiling?
Or is he in a bad mood?
You wonder, what's wrong? What happened?
Is he looking at me?
Does he feel the same?
So many questions like that.
All right. Good morning, my friend!
As I'm sure you can see,
here I am. Better than ever.
Top of my game.
I have hazelnuts. Here you go.
Anything important I should know about?
Today is Sunday.
[Işık] You lose track of anything else.
You'd lose interest
in anything that's not about him.
Nothing else matters.
- I'll see you.
- Take it easy.
[Işık] Turkey could be
winning the World Cup,
the sky could be falling down around you.
And you would ignore all of it for him.
[Işık] And the crazy thing?
You just want to be alone.
When you're alone,
you're free to think about him
every minute you're not with him.
It feels like trying
to breathe underwater.
And seeing him again
is like coming up for air.
So yeah
I definitely say
love is kind of an addiction.
Mm-hmm.
[sighs]
[ship horn blares]
There you are. So, Işık
Have you calmed down enough to talk?
You sounded like Necdet for a second.
Stop joking.
Okay?
Anything to drink around here?
Oh, I almost forgot.
I managed to get some beer.
- Are you serious?
- Wait, since when are you buying alcohol?
I only brought them for you.
Shit. They're piss-warm though.
How did you sneak out?
Are you sure you won't get caught?
I did what you told me to.
I put on a tape and left.
[Eda] Oh, you've been
teaching her your tricks, huh?
We should be getting to work.
We're trying to do that, Sinan.
But unless you've got something,
we don't have much to go with.
Necessity is
the mother of invention, right?
Unless you blame
all your problems on the world.
In which case, that's a great attitude.
Just give up.
The hell's your problem?
You think I don't care as much as you?
Well, apparently you don't!
- Sinan.
- You need to chill out man.
We're thinking here.
You go ahead and drink your beer.
Have a nice chat.
Convince yourselves
you've tried your best. I'm out of here.
Hey, Sinan! Where the fuck are you going?
Fuck this shit, Osman!
This is all your fault.
It's because of your stupid brain
that we don't have a plan already.
You picked
the wrong time to have feelings.
- What?
- Shh.
I'm going too. Do whatever you want.
What's going on?
All right.
We shouldn't panic.
We can still do this. Let's try tomorrow.
I don't want to go through with this.
I can't take it.
Come on, don't be like that!
We'll figure it out.
Necdet was on his way up
when we made our move.
That was our mistake, our timing.
Now things are different.
He's comfortable.
He's letting his guard down.
We've turned things around before.
We can again.
[chuckles]
Kerem, you're a lot smarter than people
give you credit for. Do you know that?
You're kind-hearted as well.
I think you're going to end up just fine.
I agree.
[scoffs]
All done?
- Do you have the missing piece to this?
- What are you talking about?
I thought so. Come here, Paris, let's go.
- Going somewhere?
- It's time to move on.
I really appreciate
everything you've done.
I'll come by for a drink.
You don't even have to
knock over a bookcase.
A normal invitation will do.
See you later.
[telephone ringing]
Hello?
[man] Dude, it's confirmed. I got the job.
The coach spot is open for you.
You're good to go, right?
Oh.
Working on it.
Um, I'll call you tomorrow.
I'm kind of busy right now.
Oh. Okay.
[sighs]
Looks like I'm back.
- Billur
- Are you busy tonight?
Hmm?
[exhales]
Billur.
I think that you're a terrific woman.
You don't deserve this.
I'll be honest.
Burcu is the woman for me.
I decided to wait for her.
I don't have eyes for anyone else.
Shit! I'm sick of this.
Bad news, Kemal.
You'll be waiting for
that woman a long, long time.
I still just can't understand it.
Why are you letting her do this?
I mean, it's cute you're still waiting.
I just wonder how much more
of your life you're gonna waste.
[school bell ringing]
[Osman whistles] Hey, Kerem!
- Are you going tonight?
- To Işık's?
Sure, I will.
We didn't get a chance to talk.
How are you doing?
The same as always.
You?
Eda and you broke up?
It had to happen.
When you love someone,
you have to do
what's best for them. You know?
Even when that really hurts yourself.
[sniffles]
[Kerem sobs]
[sad music playing]
[sobs]
[exhales emotionally]
[clears throat]
Well, then. I'll see you later.
[motorcycle engine starts]
[Sinan] This high school kid
might be your last hope.
[man 2] Unless you'd rather rot
away teaching high school.
[Burcu] A real educator would care
about what happens at this school.
You're not an educator
and you never wanted to be.
Hello?
It's Kemal, man. Count me in.
[doorbell rings]
Am I barging in? I'm worried about you.
Um, there's something
I want to talk to you about.
Sure, come right on in.
[Billy] Well, um
Burcu, there's something
I need to confess to you I'm afraid.
Okay, what is it?
[laughs nervously]
How do I say this?
And remember, I'm on your side.
Considering everything Kemal did to you.
- Which is totally unacceptable.
- And?
Something happened between us, Burcu.
It just happened.
I guess it was meant to be.
I'm not sure how it happened.
We were at his place and
He said he wanted to talk,
and one thing led to another.
I thought you should know. Sorry.
[emotional music playing]
I see.
Let me just I'll go make some tea.
Okay.
[breathes shakily]
Wait.
Wait a minute. Sinan wasn't there?
What?
Sinan and that dog of his.
Where were they?
I don't understand.
What are you talking about?
Huh.
I can't believe this.
Why did you come here, Billy?
There's absolutely nothing going on.
Kemal hasn't paid
attention to you one single time.
So what did you tell me that for?
I I'm really impressed.
It's impressive
how you can just stand there
and tell me lies right to my face.
[Bucu laughs]
There I was, second-guessing myself
like a complete idiot.
But I get it now.
Thanks to you and all
the dirty tricks you keep playing with me.
I finally realize what needs to be done.
So, you want to know something?
The man is mine.
And you better get over it, you hear me?
[rock music playing]
[door opens, shuts]
[Eda] Hey!
Who wants a beer?
- [Elif] Sure.
- [Işık] I'll have one.
- I'll go set up the table.
- I'll come help you.
I'll take that.
[Kerem] Also, Osman's off his game.
[Işık] Is he looking at me?
Careful.
[Işık] Does he feel the same?
[Elif] Did something happen?
[Osman] Yeah, well,
but not your fault. Don't worry.
"Let your torture grow,"
the old saying goes.
"Let your torture grow
until it destroys you"
Meaning things have to get
a lot worse before they get better.
And that's what we'll do.
Necdet has to be pushed to the extreme.
We give something out
in his name then take it away.
Necdet takes all the blame.
So our goal should be to cause a riot.
When people are used to
getting something for long enough
they'll start to think
that having it is their right,
however it may have started.
Whoever takes it away, that's the tyrant.
You're saying, Necdet's
the one who'll look like the bad guy?
That's it, isn't it?
We'll start by giving out bananas.
Potassium keeps the mind sharp.
- Then we do pide.
- Good.
But if we're the ones
handing everything out?
How will Necdet take the credit for it?
That's what we'll say.
We'll say they're from Necdet.
Yeah, but what happens when
that shithead tells them otherwise?
- You think he will?
- [tsks]
I think Necdet can't resist
taking credit for anything
no matter what the truth is.
He loves praise.
Well, what happens
if he finds his conscience for once?
He won't. Don't worry. I'll handle that.
Okay.
[Işık]I feel like
this could actually work.
But if it doesn't end up working,
let's be cool about it.
And, I realize I might be
speaking mostly for myself.
It'll work. Don't worry.
We'll make it work.
I know this will work out.
We're doing it together, aren't we?
- I say consider it done.
- Cheers.
I'll get more beer for all of us.
I'll be right back.
[Eda] Sounds good.
[Işık] Sinan.
So
Do you want to keep studying together?
I would love to.
[slow tempo rock song playing]
[song speeds up]
[doorbell rings]
Here I am.
At your door, at your house.
You were right.
I mean, you are right.
Of course there's a reason
I keep coming to you over and over again.
I'm finally done with
being uncertain forever
because I know right now
that I just want to be with you.

Sir.
Thanks.
[rock music playing]
[yells] All right!
[sniffles]
[telephone rings]
Yeah, what do you want?
Oh shit!
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, what have you got for me?
What?
Are you serious?
[Osman] Kerem.
Sinan, what's going to happen?
We couldn't stop it.
Necdet's the new principal.
Then why would you try
to make me believe
that this thing wasn't over!
But it is! It is!
Everything is over, Sinan!
Now, get out of my house!
Don't look at me like that!
Just get the fuck out!
I don't want to see you again! Ever!
Işık, please
I don't want to hear it! Get out!
[Eda] Işık?
Oh, look who it is.
It's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
We just came here to
figure out what to do next.
Shut the fuck up, Eda.
Stop trying to help me.
Stop messing with other peoples' lives.
I'm sick of it.
Do you think you're
going to save me or something?
I never asked you to do this.
I didn't want you to help me.
But no, you guys had to find a project.
You try to solve other people's problems
instead of dealing with
any of your own shit.
- Işık.
- Sinan, fuck off!
I don't want you
to come around here anymore.
Just get out of my life!
- Come on, come back here!
- [Kerem] Sinan.
- Işık!
- Sinan. Sinan.
Hey. Hey.
[gate door slams]
Listen, I don't like it either
but we have to give her space.
Come on.
Sinan, just look at me.
Come on. Let's get out of here.
[Sinan] Get off me.

[knocking on door]
There's something I need to say.
- And it really can't wait any longer.
- I'm listening.
Well then
Um, I know it's late, but I was thinking
about the reason you suspended me
and I just thought
that you should know that
Good evening, Miss.
Sinan?
- [Kemal sighs]
- What's going on here?
What's Sinan doing here?
- I would rather not answer that question.
- I insist you do.
Come on. Do I really look
like such a troublemaker to you?
Mm-hmm. I think that's you exactly.
Tell me, Kemal.
[inhales]
He got kicked out.
I don't really know the situation,
but he's been staying here for a while.
I know there are
unresolved issues between us
but I'm asking you just this once,
please stay out of this for me.
Okay. I will.
You will?
Well, thank you.
So tell me. Why did you come here tonight?
The school.
Mmm.
All of Necdet's terrible ideas.
- How can you just
- No, stop. Stop, stop, stop. Stop.
[sighs] Why do we keep
playing games with each other?
What are we going to do about us?
I just can't pretend
like nothing happened.
You're right here. Both of us are.
My house, my living room.
You decided to come.
What are we still arguing about?
Stop denying it.
You're right.
I guess I don't know
why I came either, Kemal.
[emotional music playing]
[glass shatters]
[knocking on door]
[exhales]
Can we talk for a bit?
Yeah, sure.
I could really use the company.
What's the matter with you?
Oh, we're gonna need
something a lot stronger than tea
if we're going to get anywhere tonight.
[Burcu chuckles]
I'm just going to go
and grab a bottle for us, okay?
Yes, please.
This will help.
- You sure about that?
- Yeah.
["İki Yabancı" by Teoman playing]
So, tell me
what's been bothering you lately.
This woman is driving me insane.
I swear I'm going crazy.
Forget about me for a second.
It kinda seems like
something just happened to you as well.
What's there to say?
I just keep running in circles.
This entire situation is driving me crazy.
And why should this
even matter with all our other problems?
What other problems?
What Necdet's been up to?
And Kemal's just going along with it?
Oh, come on. Are you serious?
You gotta get past that.
That isn't your problem.
Of course it's my problem, Eda.
You expect me to do nothing?
Okay, I think we need to get
to the bottom of something here.
Why don't you just tell me why
you are torturing this guy like this?
But he's the one torturing me!
What did I do to him?
He ended the relationship.
He just decided one day
to turn his back on me.
Yeah, and then he suspends me
from my own school, what's with that?
Comes all the way here
just to talk about school.
Maybe she's playing a game with you.
What game is that?
She needs a metaphor
to say how she really feels.
Cause maybe she's
too embarrassed to say it outright.
Just play along.
I really hate fucking metaphors.
He tells me what he wants is clarity
when he won't make any promises himself.
So you are saying he
should propose to you or something?
No, I'm not even talking about that.
Then, what is it?
I just want to feel certainty.
She can't be sure about me.
Whatever in the hell that means.
Well, how could she be?
You sent her away,
completely shut her out.
What did you expect?
All right, let's back up a second
and talk honestly with each other.
- Don't get angry, okay?
- I can take it. Let me hear it.
[sighs]
You know what?
Maybe you don't actually
deserve to be with this guy.
Think about your last boyfriend,
Tuncay or whatever.
You were almost going to
marry that shitty guy.
And?
Be honest.
He was not even close
to being on the same level as Kemal.
Maybe you just don't believe
a man like that can love you.
Maybe you're afraid
he'll figure it out one day
and be like, "'Maybe
that girl isn't so great after all?"
Maybe this is happening
because you don't love yourself.
So come on! Stop it.
Believe in yourself a little.
No point in whining about it.
I don't want to piss you off,
but he's got a point.
Forgive her. You need to support her.
We're all human.
Life's not as clear as a basketball game.
Why am I listening to
some high school kid? Here.
This high school kid
might be your last hope.
[boy] How you doing, Ahmet?
Hey there.
You heard the news?
Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah, I heard.
Got any nuts?
- What?
- The nuts.
I must have forgotten.
What's going on? You okay?
I am not.
What happened to you?
[school bell rings]
[indistinct muffled voices]
[Suzan] Good morning everyone.
Okay. Settle down.
I finished grading your papers.
- Why don't we start with that?
- Uh, ma'am?
[sighs] What is it, Osman?
- We only just started.
- Can I please be excused?
Why is that?
I'm not sure.
I couldn't think of a good lie.
[students laugh]
[Suzan] Fine, Osman.
That's probably for the best.
Be on your way.
That's right.
Anyway, I have graded your papers.
In general, they're not great.
Also, I told you this many times,
but I hate it when Aristotle
is referred to as "Aristo."
[motorcycle engine starts]
[horn honking]
[rock music playing]
Eda.
Now this is something!
This is incredible work.
Please keep going, you hear me?
Don't you let anything get in your way.
You're really coming into your own.
You're doing great!
Thank you, I will.
[motorcycle engine revving]
[exhales]
- Hi, son.
- Hey, Mom.
Well, our beloved son Kerem
finally decided to show up.
What a pleasant surprise.
It's truly an honor to have you
here in our presence tonight.
[mother] Why don't you have some salad?
No, thanks.
So tell me, what are you thinking?
You only have a few months left.
I wonder if you have any kind of a plan.
No, I don't.
The university exam?
- Not taking it.
- Not taking it?
Of course. Only five months to study.
Who could possibly make
any progress in that time, right?
I don't know what I expected.
I had hoped you'd turn things around.
There's no hope for you, is there?
- [high-pitched ringing]
- [heartbeat pounding]
You know? That's right Dad.
There's no hope for me anymore.
So why don't you just give up on me?
You don't have to make an effort anymore.
Get over it.
It's over.
I'll have some salad, Mom.
[mother] Okay, dear.
[Kerem grunts]
- Eda?
- [Eda giggles]
[Eda] I've missed you.
Come on and play!
Come on.
[backboard rattles]
[boy] Come on, man.
[thunder rumbles]
[sighs]
[sighs]
Elif
What's going on?
You asked for us?
Osman?
It's about him?
- Excuse me?
- She's asking if Osman's coming.
- Ah.
- [Eda] Oh. See for yourself.
You asked for me?
She asked for all of us,
but she especially wants to see you.
So, let's cut to the chase.
What's this about?
What are you going to do now?
Işık is still expelled.
Necdet's the principal.
Your plan fell through.
Great job! You totally nailed it.
- I thought this was important for you.
- It is important.
Actually, there's nothing more important.
It's just that
we're sort of out of ideas.
Also, Osman's off his game. We're stuck.
There must be something.
Osman, help us out.
Trust me,
I'm just as desperate as you guys.
What's up? You've been
acting super weird the last few days.
I don't know either.
It's like I'm brain dead.
- Listen, we're seeing Işık tonight.
- She won't let us in.
I'll break down the door.
We're going. That's the end of it.
Elif comes as well,
since you're so worried about it, yeah?
- Sinan.
- [Sinan] Hmm?
Come here for a second. You too.
Guys, come on!
- What's up with her?
- Just walk.
[melancholy music playing]
You're really good at piano.
I know.
You know, obviously.
That was stupid of me.
- Did something happen?
- Did something happen?
Yeah, but
But what?
Not your fault. Don't worry.
Elif?
I think you should
give them another chance.
I mean, I know it's not
really any of my business,
but can't you see
that they really care about you?
You're lucky to have them.
Sinan was there? How is he?
I'm not sure.
He doesn't come to class
so I don't see him a lot.
He would come here to study.
I mean, tutor me for the exam that is.
What do you mean?
Never mind.
[Elif sighs]
Hey, you have a thing for Osman, right?
What gave you that idea?
[giggles]
Well, it's kind of like being sick.
You know?
And you can tell when someone else
has the same illness you have.
There should be a way
to do group therapy for it.
Because you can only help someone in love
if you know what they're going through.
I'm Işık
I'm a love-aholic.
Or something.
[chuckles]
Welcome to the group, Işık.
How did you know about me?
What did you see?
It was actually pretty easy to see.
Like, when you walk into a room
you don't see anyone else but him.
[emotional music playing]
[Işık] You always check on him,
standing here or there.
Is he smiling?
Or is he in a bad mood?
You wonder, what's wrong? What happened?
Is he looking at me?
Does he feel the same?
So many questions like that.
All right. Good morning, my friend!
As I'm sure you can see,
here I am. Better than ever.
Top of my game.
I have hazelnuts. Here you go.
Anything important I should know about?
Today is Sunday.
[Işık] You lose track of anything else.
You'd lose interest
in anything that's not about him.
Nothing else matters.
- I'll see you.
- Take it easy.
[Işık] Turkey could be
winning the World Cup,
the sky could be falling down around you.
And you would ignore all of it for him.
[Işık] And the crazy thing?
You just want to be alone.
When you're alone,
you're free to think about him
every minute you're not with him.
It feels like trying
to breathe underwater.
And seeing him again
is like coming up for air.
So yeah
I definitely say
love is kind of an addiction.
Mm-hmm.
[sighs]
[ship horn blares]
There you are. So, Işık
Have you calmed down enough to talk?
You sounded like Necdet for a second.
Stop joking.
Okay?
Anything to drink around here?
Oh, I almost forgot.
I managed to get some beer.
- Are you serious?
- Wait, since when are you buying alcohol?
I only brought them for you.
Shit. They're piss-warm though.
How did you sneak out?
Are you sure you won't get caught?
I did what you told me to.
I put on a tape and left.
[Eda] Oh, you've been
teaching her your tricks, huh?
We should be getting to work.
We're trying to do that, Sinan.
But unless you've got something,
we don't have much to go with.
Necessity is
the mother of invention, right?
Unless you blame
all your problems on the world.
In which case, that's a great attitude.
Just give up.
The hell's your problem?
You think I don't care as much as you?
Well, apparently you don't!
- Sinan.
- You need to chill out man.
We're thinking here.
You go ahead and drink your beer.
Have a nice chat.
Convince yourselves
you've tried your best. I'm out of here.
Hey, Sinan! Where the fuck are you going?
Fuck this shit, Osman!
This is all your fault.
It's because of your stupid brain
that we don't have a plan already.
You picked
the wrong time to have feelings.
- What?
- Shh.
I'm going too. Do whatever you want.
What's going on?
All right.
We shouldn't panic.
We can still do this. Let's try tomorrow.
I don't want to go through with this.
I can't take it.
Come on, don't be like that!
We'll figure it out.
Necdet was on his way up
when we made our move.
That was our mistake, our timing.
Now things are different.
He's comfortable.
He's letting his guard down.
We've turned things around before.
We can again.
[chuckles]
Kerem, you're a lot smarter than people
give you credit for. Do you know that?
You're kind-hearted as well.
I think you're going to end up just fine.
I agree.
[scoffs]
All done?
- Do you have the missing piece to this?
- What are you talking about?
I thought so. Come here, Paris, let's go.
- Going somewhere?
- It's time to move on.
I really appreciate
everything you've done.
I'll come by for a drink.
You don't even have to
knock over a bookcase.
A normal invitation will do.
See you later.
[telephone ringing]
Hello?
[man] Dude, it's confirmed. I got the job.
The coach spot is open for you.
You're good to go, right?
Oh.
Working on it.
Um, I'll call you tomorrow.
I'm kind of busy right now.
Oh. Okay.
[sighs]
Looks like I'm back.
- Billur
- Are you busy tonight?
Hmm?
[exhales]
Billur.
I think that you're a terrific woman.
You don't deserve this.
I'll be honest.
Burcu is the woman for me.
I decided to wait for her.
I don't have eyes for anyone else.
Shit! I'm sick of this.
Bad news, Kemal.
You'll be waiting for
that woman a long, long time.
I still just can't understand it.
Why are you letting her do this?
I mean, it's cute you're still waiting.
I just wonder how much more
of your life you're gonna waste.
[school bell ringing]
[Osman whistles] Hey, Kerem!
- Are you going tonight?
- To Işık's?
Sure, I will.
We didn't get a chance to talk.
How are you doing?
The same as always.
You?
Eda and you broke up?
It had to happen.
When you love someone,
you have to do
what's best for them. You know?
Even when that really hurts yourself.
[sniffles]
[Kerem sobs]
[sad music playing]
[sobs]
[exhales emotionally]
[clears throat]
Well, then. I'll see you later.
[motorcycle engine starts]
[Sinan] This high school kid
might be your last hope.
[man 2] Unless you'd rather rot
away teaching high school.
[Burcu] A real educator would care
about what happens at this school.
You're not an educator
and you never wanted to be.
Hello?
It's Kemal, man. Count me in.
[doorbell rings]
Am I barging in? I'm worried about you.
Um, there's something
I want to talk to you about.
Sure, come right on in.
[Billy] Well, um
Burcu, there's something
I need to confess to you I'm afraid.
Okay, what is it?
[laughs nervously]
How do I say this?
And remember, I'm on your side.
Considering everything Kemal did to you.
- Which is totally unacceptable.
- And?
Something happened between us, Burcu.
It just happened.
I guess it was meant to be.
I'm not sure how it happened.
We were at his place and
He said he wanted to talk,
and one thing led to another.
I thought you should know. Sorry.
[emotional music playing]
I see.
Let me just I'll go make some tea.
Okay.
[breathes shakily]
Wait.
Wait a minute. Sinan wasn't there?
What?
Sinan and that dog of his.
Where were they?
I don't understand.
What are you talking about?
Huh.
I can't believe this.
Why did you come here, Billy?
There's absolutely nothing going on.
Kemal hasn't paid
attention to you one single time.
So what did you tell me that for?
I I'm really impressed.
It's impressive
how you can just stand there
and tell me lies right to my face.
[Bucu laughs]
There I was, second-guessing myself
like a complete idiot.
But I get it now.
Thanks to you and all
the dirty tricks you keep playing with me.
I finally realize what needs to be done.
So, you want to know something?
The man is mine.
And you better get over it, you hear me?
[rock music playing]
[door opens, shuts]
[Eda] Hey!
Who wants a beer?
- [Elif] Sure.
- [Işık] I'll have one.
- I'll go set up the table.
- I'll come help you.
I'll take that.
[Kerem] Also, Osman's off his game.
[Işık] Is he looking at me?
Careful.
[Işık] Does he feel the same?
[Elif] Did something happen?
[Osman] Yeah, well,
but not your fault. Don't worry.
"Let your torture grow,"
the old saying goes.
"Let your torture grow
until it destroys you"
Meaning things have to get
a lot worse before they get better.
And that's what we'll do.
Necdet has to be pushed to the extreme.
We give something out
in his name then take it away.
Necdet takes all the blame.
So our goal should be to cause a riot.
When people are used to
getting something for long enough
they'll start to think
that having it is their right,
however it may have started.
Whoever takes it away, that's the tyrant.
You're saying, Necdet's
the one who'll look like the bad guy?
That's it, isn't it?
We'll start by giving out bananas.
Potassium keeps the mind sharp.
- Then we do pide.
- Good.
But if we're the ones
handing everything out?
How will Necdet take the credit for it?
That's what we'll say.
We'll say they're from Necdet.
Yeah, but what happens when
that shithead tells them otherwise?
- You think he will?
- [tsks]
I think Necdet can't resist
taking credit for anything
no matter what the truth is.
He loves praise.
Well, what happens
if he finds his conscience for once?
He won't. Don't worry. I'll handle that.
Okay.
[Işık]I feel like
this could actually work.
But if it doesn't end up working,
let's be cool about it.
And, I realize I might be
speaking mostly for myself.
It'll work. Don't worry.
We'll make it work.
I know this will work out.
We're doing it together, aren't we?
- I say consider it done.
- Cheers.
I'll get more beer for all of us.
I'll be right back.
[Eda] Sounds good.
[Işık] Sinan.
So
Do you want to keep studying together?
I would love to.
[slow tempo rock song playing]
[song speeds up]
[doorbell rings]
Here I am.
At your door, at your house.
You were right.
I mean, you are right.
Of course there's a reason
I keep coming to you over and over again.
I'm finally done with
being uncertain forever
because I know right now
that I just want to be with you.
