Season 2, Episode 8
1
[gentle acoustic music playing]
[knocking on door]
[woman] Good morning, Sevgi.
[music fades slowly]
I want to introduce you
to Ada, your roommate.
Hi there.
But, um
- Leyla's already my roommate.
- What's going on?
Oh jeez. You're right. I guess that
I made a mistake with this, then.
What are we supposed to do
about this, girls?
Ma'am, getting here was a long trip.
Where am I supposed to sleep tonight?
What are you talking about?
We we can figure something out, can't we?
We can't all stay here, though.
I'm so sorry about this mix-up, darling.
I'll take care of this, okay?
It's okay, girls. I'm gonna handle this.
[Ada sighs]
The manager is so disorganized.
Don't worry. She'll find you a place
in a few days. Okay?
[Sevgi] I want some too.
[gentle music resumes]
You must be starving.
You probably haven't eaten.
Come on, then. Let's clear off the table.
Let's just put these on the bed for now.
ANOTHER SELF
[gentle music fades out]
[Leyla sighs, crying softly]
No, I just can't believe this.
Oh God, why?
How could you keep this from us, Sevgi?
Huh?
Why, Sevgi? My darling, my sweetheart.
Why didn't you just tell us the truth?
I I haven't said anything
because of this.
Look at you both.
[somber music playing]
[Sevgi] Tonight is all about you.
And Fiko.
[Leyla sobs softly]
You guys, please just drop this
for right now, will you?
Okay, fine. [sniffles]
We'll stop talking about this. Fine, then.
We don't even have
a moment to spare anymore.
That's right. [takes a deep breath]
That's why I stopped looking
for any new treatment.
[Ada exhales sharply]
Sevgi!
Because I'm out of time now, Leyla.
I only have one thing to ask of you.
[Ada exhales shakily]
Just, please
don't speak a word of this
to Fiko or my mom, okay?
Oh my God,
how are we supposed to do that? [sobs]
[Fiko] Finally!
- Just do it for me.
- [Fiko] We did great.
- Thank God everything worked.
- I will.
Leyla, everybody loved the place.
They loved the mezes too.
We still have that broken pipe,
but we'll deal with it.
Hey, what happened?
- The pipe. I'm crying about the pipe.
- You
Wow, that's what you're upset about?
I'll call the plumber
to come out tomorrow.
[Leyla sniffles]
Fiko, I need to ask you a favor.
I need the girls right now.
I was really, really missing them.
Mind if they crash at mine tonight?
Don't don't ask me.
We all know Sevgi calls the shots.
[Ada and Leyla chuckle]
Mwah.
[somber music building]
[breeze blowing gently]
You're sure you don't want to be
in the hospital?
I'm sure about that.
Totally positive.
And I'll be fine.
And plus, I've already accepted
that I'm almost out of time at this point.
What do you mean, "out of time now"?
Do you even hear yourself talking,
sweetheart?
There are people who recover
from this stuff every day, Sevgi.
- You can't give up because of lost hope.
- I'm not.
- I won't allow it.
- I didn't lose hope.
I made the choice to change
my perspective about the circumstances.
I was so obsessed with healing
that I forgot I still have a life to live.
You guys forgot too.
Hello? I'm still here right now.
Still alive.
And besides, I still have
so many things I want to do.
What stuff do you wanna do?
Like a bucket list or something?
Look me in the eye, please.
Did you read my notebook without asking?
I didn't know you have a notebook.
- [Sevgi] Leyla.
- [Leyla] What?
- Huh?
- [Leyla] Of course not.
Hey, I [sighs]
Fine. What's it say?
"I'll be thankful
for every morning I wake up."
That's right.
"Every day, I'm gonna tell Fiko
how much I love him."
That's right.
Mm. "Every day, I'll support him."
[chuckles softly]
[Sevgi sighs]
"And I'm gonna finally
go skinny-dipping." Oh!
- Ooh!
- You guys, It's not what you
- [Leyla] Okay, girl.
- Come on!
Of course we'll be skinny-dipping
at the next girls' night.
"I'll help Erdem get back his freedom."
I'LL ADOPT A KID
Some of it's just for me. Give it back.
[Leyla clicks tongue]
[sighs deeply]
[Leyla] Which one
would you like to do first?
We'll take care of the most important one
right away.
I'm pretty positive that I already know
where I have to start.
It'll be hard, though.
Good morning, my dears!
I have a big favor to ask,
and I need your help with something.
We've been looking for a village,
but we have no idea how to find it.
In the old days,
the Armenians lived there,
and we have a feeling
it could be near Balikesir, Bandirma.
Maybe one of you out there
would be interested in helping us,
or maybe someone knows something about it.
So, please send me a DM if you can help.
Mwah! Keep in touch, my loves.
Don't forget about me. Bye.
Kiss.
- My love?
- Huh?
It won't be that easy to find the village.
I already looked everywhere
and came up with nothing.
I even checked the registry.
There's no record of it.
There are too many images here.
I wonder if we could match the background
on this, though.
ARMENIAN VILLAGES IN BANDIRMA, BALIKESİR
[Sevgi] That's a long shot, I think.
[intriguing music playing]
Wait, um
- [Ada] What?
- What's this?
Ada, do you have your pencils here?
Wait, where are they?
- [Ada] On the table.
- [Leyla] Okay, hang on. Be right back!
- I have no clue what she could be seeing.
- Wait, wait. Let me see. Let me see.
Behold and watch the detective work.
[pencil scratching]
[Leyla] And here it is.
[exclaims]
- [Sevgi] Wow!
- [Leyla] Village of Kayalık, 1977.
- [Sevgi] Oh! Whoo! Whoo!
- [Leyla] Surprise!

[song ends]
[in English] In a sec, do you think
you can pull over for a few minutes?
Sure, my love. No problem.
[Leyla sighs]
[exhales]
What are we supposed to do about this?
[gentle, reflective music playing]
I'm afraid there are no options.
[Ada] It's really bad.
The best thing we can do for her
is anything she wants.
We have to find that village.
We will.
[gentle, reflective music swells]
[gentle music fades]
[door squeaks]
[indistinct voices echoing]
[mournful instrumental music playing]
[indistinct voices echo]
[Leyla] Love, I don't think
there are any graves here.
Why don't we check the other places?
- Okay?
- Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
[mournful music fades]
[Leyla] Okay, guys. We're here.
[Sevgi] Come on.
[Leyla sighs]
We're here.
[gate squeaks]
[somber music playing]
[Leyla] My love, he's not around here.
There are no pictures
or names in this area.
You guys?
You guys, I found him.
[somber music fades]
- I think I found him.
- I'm coming. One second.
Coming. [chuckles nervously]
[Leyla] Did you find it?
- This is incredible.
- It's him, right?
[Leyla exclaims, gasps]
We found him.
ARAM KUYUMCIYAN
[Sevgi sighs happily]
Water. Would you guys go get me
some water, please?
- Of course we will.
- It's okay.
Let's go. Come on.
[takes a deep breath]
Papa.
I'm finally here.
Um I know that we've never met before,
but I'm your daughter.
So there actually is still
a part of you that's living now.
[mournful instrumental music playing]
Although she also doesn't have
a lot of time left.
[takes a deep breath]
I want to know everything about you.
I hope you share it with me soon.
I wanna know who you were,
the dreams you had, and what inspired you.
And I have a question for you.
It's not as bad
as I fear over there, is it?
Huh?
Maybe you'll greet me there.
Because I'm a little terrified. Yeah?
Excuse me. What's your name?
You were over at the tea house.
How do you know about Aram?
I'm I am Aram's daughter.
My name is Sevgi, and
Do you know about my father?
[instrumental music swells]
[exhales shakily]
Mm my name is Yeram.
I'm Aram's father.
[sniffles]
[Yeram] Aram was born here.
He was the only son my wife and I had.
Back at that time,
I used to be a goldsmith.
Family-run business.
I used to make pieces of jewelry here
and travel to sell them in Istanbul.
Aram was studying there.
And he was also working
at a jewelry store.
One day, I received a letter.
- [Sevgi gasps]
- [Yeram] He said he was in love.
It was a girl named Mukadder.
She was pregnant.
He was planning a wedding.
I couldn't have been more happy.
[Sevgi sniffles]
[Yeram] Every day, I prepared a gift
for my soon-to-be daughter-in-law.
Then I packed my bag
and headed over to Istanbul.
[intense instrumental music playing]
Then
when the jewelry store was robbed,
Aram was murdered.
Some conflict occurred
between the left and right.
- My poor Aram was a casualty.
- [sobs]
Mukadder, she disappeared.
[Sevgi sniffles]
They told me she went somewhere else.
I found her dad somehow.
I sent him my address.
I said, "I might have lost my son,
but one day,
I'd love to see my grandbaby."
[chuckles sadly]
So that's everything.
[intense music fades out]
There's nobody left here.
Everybody went away gradually.
I'm the only one left here.
But I thought
that one day someone
would want to know my son.
- And I wasn't wrong.
- [chuckles]
You're here now.
Mm. Yes, Grandpa. I am.
I am. I am.
[intense music resumes]
[Yeram] I made this for your mother.
[Sevgi breathing shakily]
[sniffles]
[music fades]
Ah. [chuckles]
I promise she'll love it.
[sniffles]
You look like my Aram.
[Sevgi sniffles]
[somber music playing]
[Sevgi sniffles]
This way, dear.
[birds singing]
[Yeram] Spit into this, please.
[Sevgi spits]
[laughs, sighs]
Sit down, okay?
[exhales]
We'll just put this in here.
And this one will
[clears throat]
Hold out your finger now.
[inhales sharply]
Ooh.
[taps on bowl]
You should sleep here tonight.
It'll be ready in the morning.
[bright music playing]
Uh, be ready? I don't follow.
[chuckles slightly]
[music fades]
[Sevgi takes a deep breath]
Seriously, I wanna thank you girls
so much.
You found my grandfather.
I can't believe it.
Oh. And what an interesting grandpa.
The man is like Gandalf or something.
It's amazing.
- The kind of grandpa she deserves, right?
- Absolutely.
[chuckles]
What's on your bucket lists?
What do you wanna do?
[sighs]
Doing whatever we can do
to make you feel good.
- That's perfect.
- [Ada] Mm-hmm.
If you've forgotten what your dreams are,
I should remind you.
Okay, sure.
Ada, do you remember
when you found out your dad had cancer?
You promised yourself
that you'd find the cure for cancer.
[gentle acoustic music playing]
- [Sevgi] Leylo?
- [Leyla] Hmm?
[chuckles] You wanted to sing like J. Lo.
[all laugh]
[Sevgi] You were obsessed with her.
That's why we called you Leylo. [laughs]
And I put my all into law school
so that I could be a fierce lawyer.
But what I really wanted was a family
with kids and everything.
[Ada chuckles]
[Sevgi] And after 24 years,
we're all still together.
- [Ada] Mm. Twenty-four.
- Twenty-four years.
- [Sevgi] That counts as a dream come true.
- [Ada] Mm-hmm.
[Leyla] Yes.
Yes. but I'm sure
that there are so many more dreams
that we'll make come true, girls.
Any dreams you want, we'll do it.
I only have one wish to ask you.
Tomorrow, after we get back to Ayvalık,
I want you to take care of
any unfinished business, okay?
Well [sighs]
thankfully, my unfinished business
won't keep me that busy.
It's just making love to Erdem,
which I can do
when I get back to the house.
[Ada] Oh, stop it, Leyla.
- [Sevgi] Ridiculous.
- What's wrong?
- This is my grandpa's house!
- You have had all the sex in the world.
[both laugh]
A lot more than I ever have had.
- I'm the real victim.
- I can't.
- Hey, you.
- By the way, I have something to share.
- Have you read that report?
- What's that?
If a woman doesn't have sex
for a long time,
the cells in her vagina start to die.
- Are you kidding?
- Rest in peace.
You have got to stop believing everything
you read on those tabloid sites.
- Oh, whatever.
- Did you hear what she said?
Who would believe that?
Well, uh [clears throat]
I don't know about my cells,
but I have no issues with that.
[Leyla] Oh, really?
Yeah, I mean, Fiko never disappoints
or lets me down ever.
[Ada] Mm.
Well, love, Erdem
recently got out of jail,
so it's possible that we could have
some early finales for a while,
but it's okay, honey.
Well, sometimes it's better
to have an early finale
rather than not even having any finale.
- So stop complaining.
- What are you talking about right now?
- I'm curious.
- [Sevgi] What do you mean?
[Leyla] Who's having these sessions?
What? You can't bring something up
and tell us nothing.
- I'm not gonna expose him.
- [Sevgi] You shouldn't have brought it up.
- [Leyla] Who's this man?
- What? Why not?
Be quiet! Give us a name right now.
- I'd tell you.
- I'm not. It's not appropriate.
[Sevgi] Seriously, Ada, come on.
Tell us right now.
- Quiet, be quiet!
- Gandalf is working.
- We really should keep quiet.
- [Sevgi] I'll know who it is.
- By the morning.
- I'll sleep here, and it'll come to me.
[mysterious music playing]
[sniffs]
[exhales deeply]
[liquid bubbling loudly]
[sniffs]
[ethereal chimes jingling]
[music fades]
No diseases are incurable
besides humans' lack of will.
There are no worthless herbs,
only the lack of knowledge.
Avicenna.
[Yeram] Herbalism was widely adopted
during the Ottoman Empire.
It's my ancestors' legacy.
[Ada sniffs]
So, um what are these?
They are the spirits of the earth.
The whole soul.
Anyone familiar with them
can cure many diseases.
So that means nature has a cure
for almost everything, am I right?
Only if you learn to see it.
[gentle piano music playing]
Take a spoonful of this before you eat.
Not more than that.
- [chimes jingle]
- [Sevgi sighs]
Thank you so much, Grandpa.
[music fades]
- [Yeram, gently] Come on.
- [Sevgi takes a deep breath]
[Sevgi] And are you absolutely sure
that you don't wanna come with us?
[Yeram] I can't leave this place, my love.
Please come back with your husband
and your mother whenever you'd like to.
From your lips to God's ears.
Let me tell you, there are three ears
on every single person.
One is on the left side of your head,
the other is on the right,
plus one in your spirit.
Pay attention to what your spirit hears.
That is how you hear God.
Thank you very much, Grandpa.
Thank you for everything.
[Yeram sighs]
[gentle music playing]
[music fades]
- Shadow. [whistles]
- [Shadow woofs]
Here you go.
No one ate those, so they're all yours.
Even you didn't finish it.
[sighs]
Fiko. Come see this.
So the water's just gonna gush out
when we turn the valve?
Exactly. It's not gonna stop.
It's in really bad shape.
Know what we should do?
We can scrape off
this piece of the wall completely.
You have to completely remove the wall?
With an old building like this, yes.
- [Fiko] This is not good.
- It's leaking from everywhere.
[Fiko] It's coming off by itself already.
All right. Do what you do best.
[ethereal music plays]
[music fades]
[Ada sighs]
[somber music playing]
[keyboard clacking]
[Ada] The age-old question
we've been trying to answer
in 1,001 ways, how do you heal?
I found Grandpa.
[exhales] Aram's father.
He gave me this for you.
[gentle music playing]
[Ada] Perhaps we start to heal
when we realize
that the past doesn't only give us pain,
but that it can also bring us gifts.
[gasps] Sevgi.
[Muko gasps]
[exhales]
[inhales sharply]
[sighs deeply]
[chuckles softly]
Come here, Mama. Come.
- [sighs] Oh, Sevgi.
- I know.
Oh, Sevgi.
[Sevgi] Mm-hmm.
[Muko] Ah.
[footsteps approaching]
[Ada] Maybe love actually has
a healing effect.
When you choose to love
and to be loved, you start to heal.
Or maybe just committing yourself
to others can heal you.
Even at the cost
of hiding from your own wounds.
[stone clatters]
[Ada] Or maybe you start to heal
when you accept the responsibilities
for the consequences of your choices.
[in Kurdish] Oh, beautiful ♪
Don't you cry ♪
Feqiyê Teyran ♪
Has grown old ♪
Weak ♪
And sickly ♪
[Ada in English] Maybe some of us
get closer to healing
when we make peace with our past.
Erdem.
[Mavi fusses]
[gentle music playing]
[Leyla takes a deep breath]
[sighs]
[Ada] And once we start healing,
our relationships heal with us.
[music fades]
- [whimsical music playing]
- [Erdem sighs]
[Leyla breathing heavily]
[Erdem moans]
[groans]
[grunts]
[mattress squeaking loudly]
[whimsical music ends]
MÜJGAN, MY LOVE
"Maybe one day, Ada and Deniz will meet."
"Maybe one day,
she'll get to be a big sister."
DENIZ KORKMAZ
SEARCH
[sighs deeply]
[indistinct chatter]
[Diyar sighs, sniffles]
[Ada] It looks beautiful.
[gentle music playing]
Thank you.
Do you mind if we have a word?
[Ada] Do you remember what you said
when you were first there
on the operating table?
I asked if you remembered me.
[music fades slowly]
I know what it feels like
to have your father abandon you.
Could be why
you felt so familiar back then.
Because we went through something similar.
Maybe it's time to end this war
between you and your father.
[Diyar sighs]
At least you still have a chance
to do it in person.
[tender music playing]
You're a beautiful man, Diyar.
I want you to live
the life that you deserve.
[Diyar inhales deeply]
[softly] Me too.
I'm also wishing the best for you.
[tender music fades]
Welcome back.
I thought you'd never come here again.
I drafted this.
I wanted your opinion.
My opinion still means something to you?
HOW DO YOU HEAL?
BY SURGEON ADA KORKMAZ
[Zaman] "How Do You Heal?"
I have some things to do. Um
I'm gonna give this
my full attention after.
[continues sanding]
Zaman, please.
Go ahead and pick a piece.
[expectant music playing]
Inspect it.
What do you feel?
[music intensifies]
[Zaman, echoing] Darkness.
An infinite darkness.
[Ada] Okay. Now,
pick a piece for that darkness.
Pick another one, please.
Someone in your family is in darkness.
Fully.
Is it possible
they fell down a well or something?
[sounds distort]
[Zaman] In order to irrigate
the olive trees,
they dig these
deep holes near them, like wells.
When my great uncle fell into that well
[voice breaking]his father
jumped in after him.
[crying softly]
[tense strings playing]
My grandpa lost both his father
and his brother at the exact same time.
Please take another piece.
[strings intensify]
[sounds distort]
[breeze echoing]
[Ada] Now, when you look at your son
what do you feel?
[sounds distort]
[crying softly]
[Ada] Do you think that the light can fill
the darkness between you and your son now?
That destiny was planned
for them, Mr. Zaman.
It wasn't yours.
[takes a deep breath]
For Grandpa's brother and his father
and all my ancestors
who have been waiting
[sighs]
in the darkness,
looking towards the light they're missing
I will light candles for them.
[sighs] Thank you so much, Ada.
Thank you so much.
[tense music dissipates]
I bet the article you wrote is great.
[chuckles softly]
You really should get it published.
[peaceful music playing]
[music fades]
- [Sevgi sighs]
- [Fiko] I'm glad we're here, Sevgi.
Business is slow, anyway.
- [Sevgi] Mm.
- [Fiko] So this feels really good.
[sighs]
Isn't life just so amazing?
It is.
It's like that because of you.
Fiko, I have to tell you something.
I already know.
I know, Sevgi.
What do you mean, you know?
[somber music playing]
I know what you've been hiding.
From me.
And I also know what you've been trying
to hide from everybody.
But how
How did you figure it out?
Sevgi
my love, I know you.
Your eyes and
your smile,
the shadow of your smile
they tell me everything.
To me, you're everything.
To me, life is Sevgi.
[Sevgi inhales sharply]
Wherever this road leads, however it goes,
whatever you say
[Sevgi sniffles]
however you want it,
I'll be by your side.
[takes a deep breath]
Mm.
[both chuckle softly]
[Sevgi] Get up, then.
- What?
- Get up, then. [laughs]
- Get up. Up. Get up.
- What's going on?
- Shirt off. We're going swimming.
- Seriously?
- Go!
- Into the water?
- We're gonna swim!
- Oh!
- Come on! Get over here! [laughs]
- All right.
- Whoa!
- [Sevgi squeals]
- [Sevgi exclaims]
- [both chuckling]
[playful, energetic music playing]
- [Fiko] Everything's coming off!
- [Sevgi laughs]
- [exclaims]
- [Fiko] Ah! And it's off! [grunts]
And these are off too.
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- [Sevgi] Whoo-hoo!
- [both laughing]
- [Sevgi] Whoo!
- [Fiko grunts] I'm cold!
- [Sevgi] Mm.
[Sevgi exclaims, laughs]

[Erdem in English] Oi [exhales]
The hell's this?
What's this?
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN, ERDEM LEYLA DESERVES THIS!
- S.
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
Wow. Are you serious? [chuckles]
What the hell?
This is totally ridiculous.
[clicks tongue] No, Fiko.
If we keep doing this,
all our money's gonna run out very soon.
What are we gonna do?
We have to close the business.
What? What are you saying?
We worked so hard for this.
We just opened.
It's over. It's over.
We'll sell this place
and use the money to cover our debts.
And you can spend
the rest of your time with Sevgi.
[Fiko sighs]
[vehicle approaching]
Who's coming?
- Customer. Customer.
- [car door opens]
- [Leyla] Mom?
- [Fiko] "Mom"?
[Leman] Leyla!
[bright music playing]
[Leman] Leyla!
- [car door closes]
- [Leyla gasps]
I know we missed the grand opening.
Still, um here we are.
- [Leyla] Oh, welcome.
- [Leman] Thank you, my dear.
You know what they say.
Better late than never.
Am I right, baby?
Welcome, Baba.
Looks nice.
It is.
Yeah, we did the best we could.
It's very nice.
Good work.
[Leyla sighs]
But I couldn't manage it.
You were right.
We failed.
What?
[Leyla] It just didn't work.
[sighs]
Now, would you like to come see my kids?
[Zaman grunting]
[music fades]
[exhales, sniffles]
[footsteps approaching]
[Zaman sighs]
- Have a good one.
- [Zaman] Thanks.
Did you end up selling your share?
I accepted an offer.
[Zaman] Ah, good for you.
[exhales, sniffles]
This place is small.
Is it true
they're going to build a five-star hotel?
It is.
Good. I wish you the best.
This land that my father
and his grandfather worked so hard for
Nah, I'm not just gonna sell it off
to some jerk.
TITLE DEED
It's not you.
It's the olives.
Thanks, Son.
The olives will be so happy. [chuckles]
Let's have some tea, huh?
[Zaman grunts]
[exhales]
[sighs]
How come you didn't love me?
Ah
[somber string music playing]
Is it because my mother died giving birth?
Is it because I'm just good for nothing?
Why didn't you love me?
Diyar, you should know,
even before you were born, I loved you.
But I was so scared
that I wouldn't be a good father to you
that I drifted away from you.
And back then, I thought
that was the right thing for you.
And I was wrong.
I didn't know better.
Wanna stop this?
Huh?
[Zaman sighs]
[softly] Please.
Hang around here for a while.
I'm by your side from now on.
[Diyar sniffles]
[music fades]
[knocking on door]
[Leyla] Erdem!
[Erdem] Leyla, my hands are full.
Can you use your keys?
[Leyla] Mommy, Daddy, after you, please.
[dramatic, heroic music playing]
[Erdem] Uh
I
Ha Hasan, my Um
- [music fades]
- And Mrs. Leman.
[Leyla gasps]
Erdem. What is this?
[whimsical music playing]
Leyla, I, uh
Um
Welcome, you guys, by the way.
Guess this is not
the, uh, most appropriate greeting.
That's right.
Let me just put on something else,
if you'll excuse me.
I'll put on something more casual,
and and, yeah, I'll be right back.
- [Leyla] Pfft.
- [door opens]
Well, um it's probably something
for Sarp's homework
or something like that.
Yeah, I guess so.
[door closes]
[music fades]
[Zaman] Here.
[Diyar chuckles]
[uplifting music playing]
[Ada] What did Bert Hellinger mean
when he said that we all are
the dreams of our ancestors?
This had to be more than
simply just a poetic expression.
The systems that we participate in
don't happen exclusively
within our families.
[chuckles softly]
[inhales sharply]
[whistles]
[both laugh]
[Ada] The land we were born in,
the country we live in,
our language, our religion, our race,
the culture that we were born into,
the place where we raise our families,
they all coalesce
and leave a mark on our lives and bodies.
[Mavi fusses]
[Ada] And those marks are unique
and exclusive to each one of us.
That's why therapy should be particular,
unique, and specific to each individual.
Hello, my sweet angels.
We are coming to you today
with another lovely party.
But sadly, we are going to be closing
Eleni's Tavern
because it's not feasible
to stay in business.
We have good friends here today.
Show them the friends, baby.
- Good friends, say hi. Wave to the camera.
- [group greets followers]
YOU'RE SHUTTING IT DOWN?
- Okay, now it's my turn. Okay?
- [upbeat music playing]
We chose to because not every farewell
has to be a sad one.
Am I right?
So we wanted to say goodbye this way.
Sometimes it doesn't happen
the way you planned.
But you know what people like to say.
Well, whatever happens happens.
[chuckles] All right.
Now the Boomerang. Mwah. [chuckles]
Thanks, babe. Okay, that's enough.
- Sevgi.
- Hmm?
I wanted to tell you something.
- I'm leaving for a trip.
- [gasps]
I'm gonna travel a little from Cappadocia
to the shores of the Black Sea.
Are you serious about this?
I've been waiting for so long.
I think it's time I do it.
And plus, you're in good health.
And Fiko's right by your side.
You can have some privacy for once.
After this, Muko's out to lunch forever.
Go, Mom. You need to take your wings
and fly after all this time.
- Thank you, darling.
- No, Mom. Thank you so much.
- Thank you for this.
- Come here.
[both] Mm.
- Love you. [chuckles]
- [sighs] Mwah.
All right, um
Since everybody's here,
I, um, wanted to say something.
We'll be going to the Netherlands.
[somber music playing]
Um, I won't give you hugs individually
'cause you know I hate goodbyes.
Um, it's just that
my time here was really
special for me.
So thank you, all of you, for everything.
And if you're ever
in the Netherlands, visit us.
Thank you very much for everything.
It was It was lovely.
Let's have a toast, everybody.
- [Toprak] Sure.
- Yeah?
[Zaman and Ada chuckle]
[Sevgi kisses]
- [Fiko] Have a great summer.
- [Toprak] Have a great summer.
- [Eva] Hey, Flor!
- [Toprak] Flor.
[Eva] Flor, we're going. Come.
- [Toprak] All right.
- [Muko] Have a safe trip.
- Enjoy, guys.
- [Eva] Bye.
- We'll meet again, love.
- [Muko] Bon voyage.
- [Fiko] We'll see you again soon, huh?
- [Toprak] Okay. Let's go.
[Fiko] Yeah, we'll see you soon.
[indistinct chatter]
- [Sevgi] Let us know when you get in.
- Bye.
- [Leyla] Bye!
- [Eva] Bye, guys.
- [Canan] Ada?
- [Ada] Hmm?
Have you seen how many times
your article has been shared already?
- Are you for real?
- [Canan] Yes.
- I'm surprised.
- It's everywhere! See for yourself.
[Canan chuckles]
But how could this happen already?
Because you touched them.
You'll get real attention with this,
you'll see.
It's only up from here.
[sighs] I also applied for a new job.
[Canan] Wow. Good luck with that.
Where is it?
I'm waiting on them.
- I'll tell you when they call me.
- Of course. Don't jinx it.
- Let's not jinx it.
- 'Course.
[both chuckle]
[Emir Aksoy's "Başka Bahar" playing]
[Sevgi] What?
[guests murmur and laugh]
[friends clapping to beat]
All right, you guys. Let's do this.
Come on, Zaman, you too!

[Sevgi laughs]
[Ada in English] Remember how I wondered
if I'd ever have a family?
Turns out I already have one.
[guests laughing]
[upbeat dance music ends]
There we go.
What's that?
[intriguing music playing]
[Ada] Our past is like a black box.
No matter how much damage it takes,
its treasures always wait
to someday be revealed.
Is this a good omen?
[Ada] So we should all be thankful
for our ancestors
and for the gifts that they've left us.
[Leman] That's why you don't have to.
There's something else
- [Fiko] Leyla, Sevgi.
- [Leyla] Yes?
Guys, take a look.
I just saw something strange in there.
- [Leyla] Come on.
- [Sevgi] What's with him?
- [Leyla] What is it?
- [Leman] You need any help?
[Leyla] I don't know. We might.
[Erdem sighs]
- What the?
- Fiko?
Are we supposed to see
something right there?
Leyla, don't you see it? Look.
There is there's some kind of mural
up there.
What? Hang on a minute.
[Sevgi] Careful.
Careful, careful.
[Leman] What?
[Fiko] Holy crap.
[Leyla gasps]
- [Leman] Oh, wow!
- [intriguing music playing]
[Sevgi and Erdem gasp]
Eleni left us a huge blessing. [gasps]
Leyla, you must not sell this place.
Especially after this.
[Fiko] She's right.
We have to keep this place alive.
- Yes.
- [laughs]
I can sell that on the black market,
but I guess, uh
I won't do it, okay? Okay.
[Leyla] I don't think
you should get involved.
- Yeah, sure.
- This is unbelievable. Thank you, Eleni!
- [Leman] She didn't abandon us!
- Thank you, Eleni!
- [Leman and Leyla exclaim]
- [Erdem chuckles]
[Leyla] Oh my God. I can't believe it.
- [Leyla] This is amazing.
- [Sevgi] We have to tell Ada right now!
I'll see you soon.
Okay, bye.
[gasps, chuckles]
[gasps, chuckles]
Ada! You won't believe
what we found inside!
Ada!
You won't believe
who I just got off the phone with.
- What happened?
- Spill.
- I got a job offer. I'm accepting it.
- [Leyla gasps]
[both laugh]
They want me to develop
my work over there.
- What?
- Abroad. How crazy!
[all exclaiming]
Where is it, baby?
- It's a big surprise.
- What? You have to tell us!
Oh, come on, please!
I'll tell you if you agree
that we're all going.
Ada, you know I'm not able to
My angel,
I told them everything about you.
It's exactly what you need.
[Leyla] Bummer.
I really can't come 'cause I can't just
leave my family and Mavi like that.
- [Ada] Take Mavi with you.
- What?
- Do it.
- [Leyla] Ada, you can't be serious.
[chuckles] What do you say? Come on, guys.
- Are you in?
- I
[all exclaim]
- [laughing]
- [Sevgi] Hey. Easy.
[Ada squeals]
[Leyla] Aw! Mm.
- [Ada] For God's sake, what's in the bag?
- [indistinct, excited chatter]
[Fiko] Call me when you get
to the airport. Call me. No. Listen. Hey.
- Call when you get to the airport.
- Of course.
- You promised you wouldn't overdo it.
- I won't.
- I'll fly there if I miss you too much.
- Oh, please do. [chuckles]
- Call if you need anything.
- We'll call. Don't worry.
- [Leyla] I'll see you soon, Daddy.
- [both] Mwah.
Don't stop studying, or else
I'm gonna get really, really sad. Mwah.
- [Leman] Oh! Watch that!
- [Sevgi] Why? What is that?
No, no! I don't want money.
I told you, I have my own money, Mom.
Is there a person in here?
Leyla, what'd you put in this?
Erdem, put that suitcase
in the car! Hurry!
Ow!
Yeah, don't worry about it, guys.
All right, guys.
Sarp, you know
I love you more than anything.
[Leman] Easy.
[Leyla] Okay. Yeah. I got her.
All right, everybody! Mwah.
Take care of each other.
[Leyla] Okay, I got it.
- [Erdem] Okay. Have a safe trip.
- Mom, I'll see you!
Seat belts, ladies.
- [Fiko] Come here.
- [Leyla] Okay, I have Mavi here.
- You both have your passports?
- Yeah, we do.
- You haven't told us where we're going.
- Everything is packed.
- You'll see when we get to the airport.
- Mm.
All right, then. It's time!
[all] Road trip begins now!
- [all] Whoo!
- [Hasan] All right. Have a safe trip.
- [Muko] See you soon! [laughs]
- [Leman] Step on it!
Have fun!
- [Muko] Yeah!
- [Leman] Be safe!
- [Muko] Be safe.
- [Leman] Bye!
Come here, Sarp. It's so
["Biz" by Flört playing]
[uplifting pop tune continues]
[Ada] Our past is like a black box.
No matter how much damage it takes,
what's inside can't be erased.
But it can be transformed.
None of us had any idea
that the trip we embarked on that day
would change our lives forever.

[woman] Good morning, Sevgi.
[music fades slowly]
I want to introduce you
to Ada, your roommate.
Hi there.
But, um
- Leyla's already my roommate.
- What's going on?
Oh jeez. You're right. I guess that
I made a mistake with this, then.
What are we supposed to do
about this, girls?
Ma'am, getting here was a long trip.
Where am I supposed to sleep tonight?
What are you talking about?
We we can figure something out, can't we?
We can't all stay here, though.
I'm so sorry about this mix-up, darling.
I'll take care of this, okay?
It's okay, girls. I'm gonna handle this.
[Ada sighs]
The manager is so disorganized.
Don't worry. She'll find you a place
in a few days. Okay?
[Sevgi] I want some too.
[gentle music resumes]
You must be starving.
You probably haven't eaten.
Come on, then. Let's clear off the table.
Let's just put these on the bed for now.
ANOTHER SELF
[gentle music fades out]
[Leyla sighs, crying softly]
No, I just can't believe this.
Oh God, why?
How could you keep this from us, Sevgi?
Huh?
Why, Sevgi? My darling, my sweetheart.
Why didn't you just tell us the truth?
I I haven't said anything
because of this.
Look at you both.
[somber music playing]
[Sevgi] Tonight is all about you.
And Fiko.
[Leyla sobs softly]
You guys, please just drop this
for right now, will you?
Okay, fine. [sniffles]
We'll stop talking about this. Fine, then.
We don't even have
a moment to spare anymore.
That's right. [takes a deep breath]
That's why I stopped looking
for any new treatment.
[Ada exhales sharply]
Sevgi!
Because I'm out of time now, Leyla.
I only have one thing to ask of you.
[Ada exhales shakily]
Just, please
don't speak a word of this
to Fiko or my mom, okay?
Oh my God,
how are we supposed to do that? [sobs]
[Fiko] Finally!
- Just do it for me.
- [Fiko] We did great.
- Thank God everything worked.
- I will.
Leyla, everybody loved the place.
They loved the mezes too.
We still have that broken pipe,
but we'll deal with it.
Hey, what happened?
- The pipe. I'm crying about the pipe.
- You
Wow, that's what you're upset about?
I'll call the plumber
to come out tomorrow.
[Leyla sniffles]
Fiko, I need to ask you a favor.
I need the girls right now.
I was really, really missing them.
Mind if they crash at mine tonight?
Don't don't ask me.
We all know Sevgi calls the shots.
[Ada and Leyla chuckle]
Mwah.
[somber music building]
[breeze blowing gently]
You're sure you don't want to be
in the hospital?
I'm sure about that.
Totally positive.
And I'll be fine.
And plus, I've already accepted
that I'm almost out of time at this point.
What do you mean, "out of time now"?
Do you even hear yourself talking,
sweetheart?
There are people who recover
from this stuff every day, Sevgi.
- You can't give up because of lost hope.
- I'm not.
- I won't allow it.
- I didn't lose hope.
I made the choice to change
my perspective about the circumstances.
I was so obsessed with healing
that I forgot I still have a life to live.
You guys forgot too.
Hello? I'm still here right now.
Still alive.
And besides, I still have
so many things I want to do.
What stuff do you wanna do?
Like a bucket list or something?
Look me in the eye, please.
Did you read my notebook without asking?
I didn't know you have a notebook.
- [Sevgi] Leyla.
- [Leyla] What?
- Huh?
- [Leyla] Of course not.
Hey, I [sighs]
Fine. What's it say?
"I'll be thankful
for every morning I wake up."
That's right.
"Every day, I'm gonna tell Fiko
how much I love him."
That's right.
Mm. "Every day, I'll support him."
[chuckles softly]
[Sevgi sighs]
"And I'm gonna finally
go skinny-dipping." Oh!
- Ooh!
- You guys, It's not what you
- [Leyla] Okay, girl.
- Come on!
Of course we'll be skinny-dipping
at the next girls' night.
"I'll help Erdem get back his freedom."
I'LL ADOPT A KID
Some of it's just for me. Give it back.
[Leyla clicks tongue]
[sighs deeply]
[Leyla] Which one
would you like to do first?
We'll take care of the most important one
right away.
I'm pretty positive that I already know
where I have to start.
It'll be hard, though.
Good morning, my dears!
I have a big favor to ask,
and I need your help with something.
We've been looking for a village,
but we have no idea how to find it.
In the old days,
the Armenians lived there,
and we have a feeling
it could be near Balikesir, Bandirma.
Maybe one of you out there
would be interested in helping us,
or maybe someone knows something about it.
So, please send me a DM if you can help.
Mwah! Keep in touch, my loves.
Don't forget about me. Bye.
Kiss.
- My love?
- Huh?
It won't be that easy to find the village.
I already looked everywhere
and came up with nothing.
I even checked the registry.
There's no record of it.
There are too many images here.
I wonder if we could match the background
on this, though.
ARMENIAN VILLAGES IN BANDIRMA, BALIKESİR
[Sevgi] That's a long shot, I think.
[intriguing music playing]
Wait, um
- [Ada] What?
- What's this?
Ada, do you have your pencils here?
Wait, where are they?
- [Ada] On the table.
- [Leyla] Okay, hang on. Be right back!
- I have no clue what she could be seeing.
- Wait, wait. Let me see. Let me see.
Behold and watch the detective work.
[pencil scratching]
[Leyla] And here it is.
[exclaims]
- [Sevgi] Wow!
- [Leyla] Village of Kayalık, 1977.
- [Sevgi] Oh! Whoo! Whoo!
- [Leyla] Surprise!

Sure, my love. No problem.

What are we supposed to do about this?
[gentle, reflective music playing]
I'm afraid there are no options.

The best thing we can do for her
is anything she wants.
We have to find that village.
We will.

- Let's go.
Okay, let's go.

We're here.

There are no pictures
or names in this area.
You guys?
You guys, I found him.

- I think I found him.
- I'm coming. One second.
Coming. [chuckles nervously]
[Leyla] Did you find it?
- This is incredible.
- It's him, right?

We found him.

[Sevgi sighs happily]
Water. Would you guys go get me
some water, please?
- Of course we will.
- It's okay.
Let's go. Come on.
[takes a deep breath]
Papa.
I'm finally here.
Um I know that we've never met before,
but I'm your daughter.
So there actually is still
a part of you that's living now.
[mournful instrumental music playing]
Although she also doesn't have
a lot of time left.
[takes a deep breath]
I want to know everything about you.
I hope you share it with me soon.
I wanna know who you were,
the dreams you had, and what inspired you.
And I have a question for you.
It's not as bad
as I fear over there, is it?
Huh?
Maybe you'll greet me there.
Because I'm a little terrified. Yeah?
Excuse me. What's your name?
You were over at the tea house.
How do you know about Aram?
I'm I am Aram's daughter.
My name is Sevgi, and
Do you know about my father?
[instrumental music swells]
[exhales shakily]
Mm my name is Yeram.
I'm Aram's father.
[sniffles]
[Yeram] Aram was born here.
He was the only son my wife and I had.
Back at that time,
I used to be a goldsmith.
Family-run business.
I used to make pieces of jewelry here
and travel to sell them in Istanbul.
Aram was studying there.
And he was also working
at a jewelry store.
One day, I received a letter.
- [Sevgi gasps]
- [Yeram] He said he was in love.
It was a girl named Mukadder.
She was pregnant.
He was planning a wedding.
I couldn't have been more happy.
[Sevgi sniffles]
[Yeram] Every day, I prepared a gift
for my soon-to-be daughter-in-law.
Then I packed my bag
and headed over to Istanbul.
[intense instrumental music playing]
Then
when the jewelry store was robbed,
Aram was murdered.
Some conflict occurred
between the left and right.
- My poor Aram was a casualty.
- [sobs]
Mukadder, she disappeared.
[Sevgi sniffles]
They told me she went somewhere else.
I found her dad somehow.
I sent him my address.
I said, "I might have lost my son,
but one day,
I'd love to see my grandbaby."
[chuckles sadly]
So that's everything.
[intense music fades out]
There's nobody left here.
Everybody went away gradually.
I'm the only one left here.
But I thought
that one day someone
would want to know my son.
- And I wasn't wrong.
- [chuckles]
You're here now.
Mm. Yes, Grandpa. I am.
I am. I am.
[intense music resumes]
[Yeram] I made this for your mother.
[Sevgi breathing shakily]
[sniffles]
[music fades]
Ah. [chuckles]
I promise she'll love it.
[sniffles]
You look like my Aram.
[Sevgi sniffles]
[somber music playing]
[Sevgi sniffles]
This way, dear.
[birds singing]
[Yeram] Spit into this, please.
[Sevgi spits]
[laughs, sighs]
Sit down, okay?
[exhales]
We'll just put this in here.
And this one will
[clears throat]
Hold out your finger now.
[inhales sharply]
Ooh.
[taps on bowl]
You should sleep here tonight.
It'll be ready in the morning.
[bright music playing]
Uh, be ready? I don't follow.
[chuckles slightly]
[music fades]
[Sevgi takes a deep breath]
Seriously, I wanna thank you girls
so much.
You found my grandfather.
I can't believe it.
Oh. And what an interesting grandpa.
The man is like Gandalf or something.
It's amazing.
- The kind of grandpa she deserves, right?
- Absolutely.
[chuckles]
What's on your bucket lists?
What do you wanna do?
[sighs]
Doing whatever we can do
to make you feel good.
- That's perfect.
- [Ada] Mm-hmm.
If you've forgotten what your dreams are,
I should remind you.
Okay, sure.
Ada, do you remember
when you found out your dad had cancer?
You promised yourself
that you'd find the cure for cancer.
[gentle acoustic music playing]
- [Sevgi] Leylo?
- [Leyla] Hmm?
[chuckles] You wanted to sing like J. Lo.
[all laugh]
[Sevgi] You were obsessed with her.
That's why we called you Leylo. [laughs]
And I put my all into law school
so that I could be a fierce lawyer.
But what I really wanted was a family
with kids and everything.
[Ada chuckles]
[Sevgi] And after 24 years,
we're all still together.
- [Ada] Mm. Twenty-four.
- Twenty-four years.
- [Sevgi] That counts as a dream come true.
- [Ada] Mm-hmm.
[Leyla] Yes.
Yes. but I'm sure
that there are so many more dreams
that we'll make come true, girls.
Any dreams you want, we'll do it.
I only have one wish to ask you.
Tomorrow, after we get back to Ayvalık,
I want you to take care of
any unfinished business, okay?
Well [sighs]
thankfully, my unfinished business
won't keep me that busy.
It's just making love to Erdem,
which I can do
when I get back to the house.
[Ada] Oh, stop it, Leyla.
- [Sevgi] Ridiculous.
- What's wrong?
- This is my grandpa's house!
- You have had all the sex in the world.
[both laugh]
A lot more than I ever have had.
- I'm the real victim.
- I can't.
- Hey, you.
- By the way, I have something to share.
- Have you read that report?
- What's that?
If a woman doesn't have sex
for a long time,
the cells in her vagina start to die.
- Are you kidding?
- Rest in peace.
You have got to stop believing everything
you read on those tabloid sites.
- Oh, whatever.
- Did you hear what she said?
Who would believe that?
Well, uh [clears throat]
I don't know about my cells,
but I have no issues with that.
[Leyla] Oh, really?
Yeah, I mean, Fiko never disappoints
or lets me down ever.
[Ada] Mm.
Well, love, Erdem
recently got out of jail,
so it's possible that we could have
some early finales for a while,
but it's okay, honey.
Well, sometimes it's better
to have an early finale
rather than not even having any finale.
- So stop complaining.
- What are you talking about right now?
- I'm curious.
- [Sevgi] What do you mean?
[Leyla] Who's having these sessions?
What? You can't bring something up
and tell us nothing.
- I'm not gonna expose him.
- [Sevgi] You shouldn't have brought it up.
- [Leyla] Who's this man?
- What? Why not?
Be quiet! Give us a name right now.
- I'd tell you.
- I'm not. It's not appropriate.
[Sevgi] Seriously, Ada, come on.
Tell us right now.
- Quiet, be quiet!
- Gandalf is working.
- We really should keep quiet.
- [Sevgi] I'll know who it is.
- By the morning.
- I'll sleep here, and it'll come to me.
[mysterious music playing]
[sniffs]
[exhales deeply]
[liquid bubbling loudly]
[sniffs]
[ethereal chimes jingling]
[music fades]
No diseases are incurable
besides humans' lack of will.
There are no worthless herbs,
only the lack of knowledge.
Avicenna.
[Yeram] Herbalism was widely adopted
during the Ottoman Empire.
It's my ancestors' legacy.
[Ada sniffs]
So, um what are these?
They are the spirits of the earth.
The whole soul.
Anyone familiar with them
can cure many diseases.
So that means nature has a cure
for almost everything, am I right?
Only if you learn to see it.
[gentle piano music playing]
Take a spoonful of this before you eat.
Not more than that.
- [chimes jingle]
- [Sevgi sighs]
Thank you so much, Grandpa.
[music fades]
- [Yeram, gently] Come on.
- [Sevgi takes a deep breath]
[Sevgi] And are you absolutely sure
that you don't wanna come with us?
[Yeram] I can't leave this place, my love.
Please come back with your husband
and your mother whenever you'd like to.
From your lips to God's ears.
Let me tell you, there are three ears
on every single person.
One is on the left side of your head,
the other is on the right,
plus one in your spirit.
Pay attention to what your spirit hears.
That is how you hear God.
Thank you very much, Grandpa.
Thank you for everything.
[Yeram sighs]
[gentle music playing]
[music fades]
- Shadow. [whistles]
- [Shadow woofs]
Here you go.
No one ate those, so they're all yours.
Even you didn't finish it.
[sighs]
Fiko. Come see this.
So the water's just gonna gush out
when we turn the valve?
Exactly. It's not gonna stop.
It's in really bad shape.
Know what we should do?
We can scrape off
this piece of the wall completely.
You have to completely remove the wall?
With an old building like this, yes.
- [Fiko] This is not good.
- It's leaking from everywhere.
[Fiko] It's coming off by itself already.
All right. Do what you do best.
[ethereal music plays]
[music fades]
[Ada sighs]
[somber music playing]
[keyboard clacking]
[Ada] The age-old question
we've been trying to answer
in 1,001 ways, how do you heal?
I found Grandpa.
[exhales] Aram's father.
He gave me this for you.
[gentle music playing]
[Ada] Perhaps we start to heal
when we realize
that the past doesn't only give us pain,
but that it can also bring us gifts.
[gasps] Sevgi.
[Muko gasps]
[exhales]
[inhales sharply]
[sighs deeply]
[chuckles softly]
Come here, Mama. Come.
- [sighs] Oh, Sevgi.
- I know.
Oh, Sevgi.
[Sevgi] Mm-hmm.
[Muko] Ah.
[footsteps approaching]
[Ada] Maybe love actually has
a healing effect.
When you choose to love
and to be loved, you start to heal.
Or maybe just committing yourself
to others can heal you.
Even at the cost
of hiding from your own wounds.
[stone clatters]
[Ada] Or maybe you start to heal
when you accept the responsibilities
for the consequences of your choices.
[in Kurdish] Oh, beautiful ♪
Don't you cry ♪
Feqiyê Teyran ♪
Has grown old ♪
Weak ♪
And sickly ♪
[Ada in English] Maybe some of us
get closer to healing
when we make peace with our past.
Erdem.
[Mavi fusses]
[gentle music playing]
[Leyla takes a deep breath]
[sighs]
[Ada] And once we start healing,
our relationships heal with us.

SEARCH
[sighs deeply]
[indistinct chatter]
[Diyar sighs, sniffles]
[Ada] It looks beautiful.
[gentle music playing]
Thank you.
Do you mind if we have a word?
[Ada] Do you remember what you said
when you were first there
on the operating table?
I asked if you remembered me.
[music fades slowly]
I know what it feels like
to have your father abandon you.
Could be why
you felt so familiar back then.
Because we went through something similar.
Maybe it's time to end this war
between you and your father.
[Diyar sighs]
At least you still have a chance
to do it in person.
[tender music playing]
You're a beautiful man, Diyar.
I want you to live
the life that you deserve.
[Diyar inhales deeply]
[softly] Me too.
I'm also wishing the best for you.
[tender music fades]
Welcome back.
I thought you'd never come here again.
I drafted this.
I wanted your opinion.
My opinion still means something to you?
HOW DO YOU HEAL?
BY SURGEON ADA KORKMAZ
[Zaman] "How Do You Heal?"
I have some things to do. Um
I'm gonna give this
my full attention after.
[continues sanding]
Zaman, please.
Go ahead and pick a piece.
[expectant music playing]
Inspect it.
What do you feel?
[music intensifies]
[Zaman, echoing] Darkness.
An infinite darkness.
[Ada] Okay. Now,
pick a piece for that darkness.
Pick another one, please.
Someone in your family is in darkness.
Fully.
Is it possible
they fell down a well or something?
[sounds distort]
[Zaman] In order to irrigate
the olive trees,
they dig these
deep holes near them, like wells.
When my great uncle fell into that well
[voice breaking]his father
jumped in after him.
[crying softly]
[tense strings playing]
My grandpa lost both his father
and his brother at the exact same time.
Please take another piece.
[strings intensify]
[sounds distort]
[breeze echoing]
[Ada] Now, when you look at your son
what do you feel?
[sounds distort]
[crying softly]
[Ada] Do you think that the light can fill
the darkness between you and your son now?
That destiny was planned
for them, Mr. Zaman.
It wasn't yours.
[takes a deep breath]
For Grandpa's brother and his father
and all my ancestors
who have been waiting
[sighs]
in the darkness,
looking towards the light they're missing
I will light candles for them.
[sighs] Thank you so much, Ada.
Thank you so much.
[tense music dissipates]
I bet the article you wrote is great.
[chuckles softly]
You really should get it published.
[peaceful music playing]
[music fades]
- [Sevgi sighs]
- [Fiko] I'm glad we're here, Sevgi.
Business is slow, anyway.
- [Sevgi] Mm.
- [Fiko] So this feels really good.
[sighs]
Isn't life just so amazing?
It is.
It's like that because of you.
Fiko, I have to tell you something.
I already know.
I know, Sevgi.
What do you mean, you know?
[somber music playing]
I know what you've been hiding.
From me.
And I also know what you've been trying
to hide from everybody.
But how
How did you figure it out?
Sevgi
my love, I know you.
Your eyes and
your smile,
the shadow of your smile
they tell me everything.
To me, you're everything.
To me, life is Sevgi.
[Sevgi inhales sharply]
Wherever this road leads, however it goes,
whatever you say
[Sevgi sniffles]
however you want it,
I'll be by your side.
[takes a deep breath]
Mm.
[both chuckle softly]
[Sevgi] Get up, then.
- What?
- Get up, then. [laughs]
- Get up. Up. Get up.
- What's going on?
- Shirt off. We're going swimming.
- Seriously?
- Go!
- Into the water?
- We're gonna swim!
- Oh!
- Come on! Get over here! [laughs]
- All right.
- Whoa!
- [Sevgi squeals]
- [Sevgi exclaims]
- [both chuckling]
[playful, energetic music playing]
- [Fiko] Everything's coming off!
- [Sevgi laughs]
- [exclaims]
- [Fiko] Ah! And it's off! [grunts]
And these are off too.
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- [Sevgi] Whoo-hoo!

- [Sevgi] Whoo!
- [Fiko grunts] I'm cold!

What's this?
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN, ERDEM LEYLA DESERVES THIS!
- S.
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
Wow. Are you serious? [chuckles]
What the hell?
This is totally ridiculous.
[clicks tongue] No, Fiko.
If we keep doing this,
all our money's gonna run out very soon.
What are we gonna do?
We have to close the business.
What? What are you saying?
We worked so hard for this.
We just opened.
It's over. It's over.
We'll sell this place
and use the money to cover our debts.
And you can spend
the rest of your time with Sevgi.
[Fiko sighs]
[vehicle approaching]
Who's coming?
- Customer. Customer.
- [car door opens]
- [Leyla] Mom?
- [Fiko] "Mom"?
[Leman] Leyla!
[bright music playing]
[Leman] Leyla!
- [car door closes]
- [Leyla gasps]
I know we missed the grand opening.
Still, um here we are.
- [Leyla] Oh, welcome.
- [Leman] Thank you, my dear.
You know what they say.
Better late than never.
Am I right, baby?
Welcome, Baba.
Looks nice.
It is.
Yeah, we did the best we could.
It's very nice.
Good work.
[Leyla sighs]
But I couldn't manage it.
You were right.
We failed.
What?
[Leyla] It just didn't work.
[sighs]
Now, would you like to come see my kids?
[Zaman grunting]
[music fades]
[exhales, sniffles]
[footsteps approaching]
[Zaman sighs]
- Have a good one.
- [Zaman] Thanks.
Did you end up selling your share?
I accepted an offer.
[Zaman] Ah, good for you.
[exhales, sniffles]
This place is small.
Is it true
they're going to build a five-star hotel?
It is.
Good. I wish you the best.
This land that my father
and his grandfather worked so hard for
Nah, I'm not just gonna sell it off
to some jerk.
TITLE DEED
It's not you.
It's the olives.
Thanks, Son.
The olives will be so happy. [chuckles]
Let's have some tea, huh?
[Zaman grunts]
[exhales]
[sighs]
How come you didn't love me?
Ah
[somber string music playing]
Is it because my mother died giving birth?
Is it because I'm just good for nothing?
Why didn't you love me?
Diyar, you should know,
even before you were born, I loved you.
But I was so scared
that I wouldn't be a good father to you
that I drifted away from you.
And back then, I thought
that was the right thing for you.
And I was wrong.
I didn't know better.
Wanna stop this?
Huh?
[Zaman sighs]
[softly] Please.
Hang around here for a while.
I'm by your side from now on.
[Diyar sniffles]
[music fades]
[knocking on door]
[Leyla] Erdem!
[Erdem] Leyla, my hands are full.
Can you use your keys?
[Leyla] Mommy, Daddy, after you, please.
[dramatic, heroic music playing]
[Erdem] Uh
I
Ha Hasan, my Um
- [music fades]
- And Mrs. Leman.
[Leyla gasps]
Erdem. What is this?
[whimsical music playing]
Leyla, I, uh
Um
Welcome, you guys, by the way.
Guess this is not
the, uh, most appropriate greeting.
That's right.
Let me just put on something else,
if you'll excuse me.
I'll put on something more casual,
and and, yeah, I'll be right back.
- [Leyla] Pfft.
- [door opens]
Well, um it's probably something
for Sarp's homework
or something like that.
Yeah, I guess so.
[door closes]
[music fades]
[Zaman] Here.
[Diyar chuckles]
[uplifting music playing]
[Ada] What did Bert Hellinger mean
when he said that we all are
the dreams of our ancestors?
This had to be more than
simply just a poetic expression.
The systems that we participate in
don't happen exclusively
within our families.
[chuckles softly]
[inhales sharply]
[whistles]
[both laugh]
[Ada] The land we were born in,
the country we live in,
our language, our religion, our race,
the culture that we were born into,
the place where we raise our families,
they all coalesce
and leave a mark on our lives and bodies.
[Mavi fusses]
[Ada] And those marks are unique
and exclusive to each one of us.
That's why therapy should be particular,
unique, and specific to each individual.
Hello, my sweet angels.
We are coming to you today
with another lovely party.
But sadly, we are going to be closing
Eleni's Tavern
because it's not feasible
to stay in business.
We have good friends here today.
Show them the friends, baby.
- Good friends, say hi. Wave to the camera.
- [group greets followers]
YOU'RE SHUTTING IT DOWN?
- Okay, now it's my turn. Okay?
- [upbeat music playing]
We chose to because not every farewell
has to be a sad one.
Am I right?
So we wanted to say goodbye this way.
Sometimes it doesn't happen
the way you planned.
But you know what people like to say.
Well, whatever happens happens.
[chuckles] All right.
Now the Boomerang. Mwah. [chuckles]
Thanks, babe. Okay, that's enough.
- Sevgi.
- Hmm?
I wanted to tell you something.
- I'm leaving for a trip.
- [gasps]
I'm gonna travel a little from Cappadocia
to the shores of the Black Sea.
Are you serious about this?
I've been waiting for so long.
I think it's time I do it.
And plus, you're in good health.
And Fiko's right by your side.
You can have some privacy for once.
After this, Muko's out to lunch forever.
Go, Mom. You need to take your wings
and fly after all this time.
- Thank you, darling.
- No, Mom. Thank you so much.
- Thank you for this.
- Come here.
[both] Mm.
- Love you. [chuckles]
- [sighs] Mwah.
All right, um
Since everybody's here,
I, um, wanted to say something.
We'll be going to the Netherlands.
[somber music playing]
Um, I won't give you hugs individually
'cause you know I hate goodbyes.
Um, it's just that
my time here was really
special for me.
So thank you, all of you, for everything.
And if you're ever
in the Netherlands, visit us.
Thank you very much for everything.
It was It was lovely.
Let's have a toast, everybody.
- [Toprak] Sure.
- Yeah?
[Zaman and Ada chuckle]
[Sevgi kisses]
- [Fiko] Have a great summer.
- [Toprak] Have a great summer.
- [Eva] Hey, Flor!
- [Toprak] Flor.
[Eva] Flor, we're going. Come.
- [Toprak] All right.
- [Muko] Have a safe trip.
- Enjoy, guys.
- [Eva] Bye.
- We'll meet again, love.
- [Muko] Bon voyage.
- [Fiko] We'll see you again soon, huh?
- [Toprak] Okay. Let's go.
[Fiko] Yeah, we'll see you soon.
[indistinct chatter]
- [Sevgi] Let us know when you get in.
- Bye.
- [Leyla] Bye!
- [Eva] Bye, guys.
- [Canan] Ada?
- [Ada] Hmm?
Have you seen how many times
your article has been shared already?
- Are you for real?
- [Canan] Yes.
- I'm surprised.
- It's everywhere! See for yourself.
[Canan chuckles]
But how could this happen already?
Because you touched them.
You'll get real attention with this,
you'll see.
It's only up from here.
[sighs] I also applied for a new job.
[Canan] Wow. Good luck with that.
Where is it?
I'm waiting on them.
- I'll tell you when they call me.
- Of course. Don't jinx it.
- Let's not jinx it.
- 'Course.

if I'd ever have a family?
Turns out I already have one.
[guests laughing]
[upbeat dance music ends]
There we go.
What's that?
[intriguing music playing]
[Ada] Our past is like a black box.
No matter how much damage it takes,
its treasures always wait
to someday be revealed.
Is this a good omen?
[Ada] So we should all be thankful
for our ancestors
and for the gifts that they've left us.
[Leman] That's why you don't have to.
There's something else
- [Fiko] Leyla, Sevgi.
- [Leyla] Yes?
Guys, take a look.
I just saw something strange in there.
- [Leyla] Come on.
- [Sevgi] What's with him?
- [Leyla] What is it?
- [Leman] You need any help?
[Leyla] I don't know. We might.
[Erdem sighs]
- What the?
- Fiko?
Are we supposed to see
something right there?
Leyla, don't you see it? Look.
There is there's some kind of mural
up there.
What? Hang on a minute.
[Sevgi] Careful.
Careful, careful.
[Leman] What?
[Fiko] Holy crap.
[Leyla gasps]
- [Leman] Oh, wow!
- [intriguing music playing]
[Sevgi and Erdem gasp]
Eleni left us a huge blessing. [gasps]
Leyla, you must not sell this place.
Especially after this.
[Fiko] She's right.
We have to keep this place alive.
- Yes.
- [laughs]
I can sell that on the black market,
but I guess, uh
I won't do it, okay? Okay.
[Leyla] I don't think
you should get involved.
- Yeah, sure.
- This is unbelievable. Thank you, Eleni!
- [Leman] She didn't abandon us!
- Thank you, Eleni!
- [Leman and Leyla exclaim]
- [Erdem chuckles]
[Leyla] Oh my God. I can't believe it.
- [Leyla] This is amazing.
- [Sevgi] We have to tell Ada right now!
I'll see you soon.
Okay, bye.
[gasps, chuckles]
[gasps, chuckles]
Ada! You won't believe
what we found inside!
Ada!
You won't believe
who I just got off the phone with.
- What happened?
- Spill.
- I got a job offer. I'm accepting it.
- [Leyla gasps]
[both laugh]
They want me to develop
my work over there.
- What?
- Abroad. How crazy!
[all exclaiming]
Where is it, baby?
- It's a big surprise.
- What? You have to tell us!
Oh, come on, please!
I'll tell you if you agree
that we're all going.
Ada, you know I'm not able to
My angel,
I told them everything about you.
It's exactly what you need.
[Leyla] Bummer.
I really can't come 'cause I can't just
leave my family and Mavi like that.
- [Ada] Take Mavi with you.
- What?
- Do it.
- [Leyla] Ada, you can't be serious.
[chuckles] What do you say? Come on, guys.
- Are you in?
- I
[all exclaim]
- [laughing]
- [Sevgi] Hey. Easy.
[Ada squeals]
[Leyla] Aw! Mm.
- [Ada] For God's sake, what's in the bag?
- [indistinct, excited chatter]
[Fiko] Call me when you get
to the airport. Call me. No. Listen. Hey.
- Call when you get to the airport.
- Of course.
- You promised you wouldn't overdo it.
- I won't.
- I'll fly there if I miss you too much.
- Oh, please do. [chuckles]
- Call if you need anything.
- We'll call. Don't worry.
- [Leyla] I'll see you soon, Daddy.
- [both] Mwah.
Don't stop studying, or else
I'm gonna get really, really sad. Mwah.
- [Leman] Oh! Watch that!
- [Sevgi] Why? What is that?
No, no! I don't want money.
I told you, I have my own money, Mom.
Is there a person in here?
Leyla, what'd you put in this?
Erdem, put that suitcase
in the car! Hurry!
