01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

[dramatic music playing]

[Funda] Who knows how long
she'd been hiding.

Why does a person become invisible?

Why would someone
not show their true selves to others?

[woman] Nazlı!

Where have you gone this time?
Come on out!

[Funda] People who hide
have a desire to be found.

They simply wait for someone
to come looking for them.

I was going to find her.

I needed to know her
and what her story was.

I wanted to put her soul into my painting.

NOT A STRANGER

[dramatic music continues]

[Funda] I opened up to her.

I let her into my life,

and she rewarded me
by placing her trust in me.

Did your grandmother have
a gentle touch like you?

-Mm-hmm.
-And who did she learn from?

I never asked her.

Sometimes it seems like
people who know everything

were just born that way.

Sounds like you were very close
to your grandmother.

But you never talk about your mother.

She died when I was little.

How old were you?

Ten.

So your grandmother raised you?

Mm-hmm.

Can you tell me about her?

She was so full of love.

[woman] Nazlı!
Where have you gone this time?

Come on!

[dramatic music continues]

[door slams]

[woman] Nazlı!

[chuckles]

Come with me.

Don't worry, I'm here.

I won't leave you with her, I promise.

[woman] Nazlı!

Don't be afraid, sweetheart. I'm here.

Come here. Give me a hug. Come.

[dramatic music continues]

Are you all right?

Mm-hmm.

I'll just do the last one now.

Okay, you're good. You can get dressed.

[Funda] I'll put Mavi to bed tonight.
I missed her so much.

Isn't that right, sweetie?
Mommy missed you so much.

You wanna sleep with Mommy?

-[babbles]
-[Funda] Give Mommy big hugs?

Can Mommy have kisses too?

[dramatic music continues]

[woman coughing]

Go on and see if your mom is awake yet.

Why can't you be my mom?

Because I'm your grandma.

And that's a whole lot better.

No one in the world
can love you like I do.

[music fades]

Just so you know, Nazlı asked
for the day off tomorrow, and I said yes.

We'll be out all day anyway.

Isn't she the one
who should be doing this?

She is the nanny.

And I'm her mother, İlker.
I can put my baby to bed if I want to.

You know that's not what I meant.

What do you mean, then?

[sighs] I mean,
who's doing what around here?

It's getting hard to tell
if we hired a nanny or a roommate.

Like, what was that weird thing
she was doing to your back?

It's not a weird thing, İlker.

It's supposed to relieve stress.

I wanted to try it. What's the big deal?

Well, it's just, you're not exactly
a touchy, feely kind of person.

I'm just trying to understand
what's going on.

What is it
that you're trying to understand?

Funda, she was the nanny,
then your model, now she's your friend.

This isn't about me making a friend.

Whatever I'm doing now is for myself.

You know how badly I need this exhibition,
and Nazlı is helping me. That's all.

Besides, she's been upset lately,
and I'm trying to help her.

What's she upset about?

I have no idea. I'm trying to understand.
Is that okay with you?

[mysterious music playing]

[Funda] All right, I'm here.

[Nazlı] Mm.

[glasses clink]

Aren't we going to start working?

Don't worry, we will.

It's all part of the work process.

[glasses clatter]

Uh, I forgot the corkscrew.

Don't worry, I'll go get it.

[dishes clattering]

[music fades]

How are you?

Fine, why are you asking?

Uh, Funda mentioned
that you were upset about something.

Is it anything to do with me?

What do you mean?

Uh, well,

after what we talked about the other day…

As shocking as this is,
the world doesn't revolve around you.

[mysterious ethereal music playing]

[Nazlı] Wasn't it London
you were supposed to move to?

Wasn't that the reason we broke up?

As I recall,
that was the reason we broke up.

-It was, but things changed.
-Yeah? What changed?

Funda.

She came to London.

She's the only one for me.

And us?

I always knew I'd marry her one day.

I realized there was no point
in moving there.

So I came back.

So then I was just some wild fling to you?

I'm sorry about what happened between us.

What happened between us?

[music intensifies]

You're not sorry at all.

No, really. I am.

But there was nothing I could do about it.

Funda and I have been through more
than you could possibly imagine.

[Nazlı] Mm.

She's my wife. Not someone I've only known
for a few months.

[music intensifies]

Look, I know what that sounds like,
and I apologize.

No need to apologize.
You were only saying what you really feel.

[İlker exhales]

Nazlı… thanks a lot
for being so discreet about all this.

Um, I didn't exactly give Funda

all the details about
what happened between us.

So you told her it was a one-night stand?

[sighs]

[Mavi crying]

[Nazlı] My Dad left my mom
after she got pregnant.

What was he like? Is he still alive?

I have no idea where he is
or what he's doing.

After my mom died,
my grandmother took me in.

So she was the one who brought me up.

She passed away
during my first year as a nurse.

Was she sick?

She had a heart attack.

[music fades]

Both my mom and my grandma.

I'm sorry, Nazlı.

I suppose the women in my family
have very sensitive hearts.

Wow. That sounded melodramatic, didn't it?

-No, don't worry about it.
-No, it really did.

From an outsider's perspective,

I might come across
as some sort of tragic case.

But from where I'm coming from,

I really don't feel that way.

No one can reach inside
and snatch the joy out of me.

It's all mine.

That's amazing.

No one should be able
to take our joy away.

[mysterious music playing]

Wanna play a game?

[mysterious music continues]

[cat screeching]

[Nazlı, Funda laughing]

[mysterious music continues]

[bottle clatters]

[Nazlı moans]

[Mavi crying]

[drawer closes]

[İlker exhales]

-[Mavi crying]
-[music intensifies]

[music fades]

Never have I ever gone skinny dipping.

[chuckles]

Never have I ever called my ex
while I was totally wasted.

[laughs]

Never have I ever fallen in love
at first sight.

[intriguing music playing]

Never have I ever

told anyone I was in love with them.

[sighs]

[sighs]

It's your turn now.

[Funda sighs]

[music intensifies]

Never have…

I ever had a one-night stand.

[music turns suspenseful]

Mm. Okay, your turn.

Never have I ever…

[intriguing music playing]

[Funda] I thought she'd be leaving tonight
since she's taking tomorrow off,

but she said she'd leave in the morning.

What do you mean?

[music fades]

She might not have anywhere to go tonight.

[Funda groans]

She's a lonely girl.

She has no one.

She's all alone.

She told me about some accident she had
when she first came here,

but… I didn't get any details.

It's all so strange.

It's been on my mind all day.

Having to live with that
no matter how much she may want it. Mm.

With what?

The fact she can never have children
because of the accident.

I don't know. Maybe that's why
she inspires me so much.

[poignant string music playing]

She's just so wounded, but so strong.

And so mysterious.

Is that why you found her so sexy?

[music intensifies]

[breathing echoes]

[woman] Funda. Can you hear me?

They take our joy away.

Is that what happened? You wanted me.

[Funda] You're so unique.

-That's what I've told everyone.
-[Nazlı] Here we are in the water, Mavi.

-[Nazlı moans]
-[tense music playing]

-[woman] Yes, that's right.
-[Nazlı moans]

-[music fades]
-[gasps]

[panting]

[toilet flushes]

[panting continues]

[Funda groans]

[Funda groans]

Don't worry.
I'll call and say we can't make it.

No, seriously, don't do that.

You go. Mavi and I will stay home.

Sweetie, he invited the family. It's rude.

Honey, I know they invited us as a family,

but it's not like I can predict
when I'll have another stupid migraine.

I didn't plan this.

Oh my God, this is so weird.

It might not have been the best idea
to drink so much last night.

I know, and I'm sorry.
I'm really, really sorry.

We'll make it up to them, all right?

Maybe we can go out to dinner one night.

-How's that?
-Nur's brother is supposed to be there.

You insisted
that Mavi have her neck checked.

He's going back to Austria tonight.

Ah, f*ck me.

[Funda sighs]

[dramatic ethereal music playing]

Okay.

Just give me a couple minutes, all right?

I'll deal with it. Don't worry.

[Funda sighs]

[Funda groaning]

-Ah, Nazlı.
-Are you okay?

No, I'm really bad.

My whole body hurts,
and I've got such a migraine.

-You were just about to go out, huh?
-[music fades]

Uh, yeah.

Nazlı, I need a huge favor from you.

I know this is your day off,
but it's İlker's business partner's



and they decided that they're renewing
their vows, and they invited us over.

But there's no way
I can make it feeling like this.

And my friend's brother is coming in
from out of town,

and he's a hotshot doctor.

I really wanted to ask him

what he thinks about
Mavi's neck condition.

It's so important to me that he sees her,

so I was wondering
if you could go with them?

-[poignant piano music playing]
-Of course, don't worry.

-Seriously?
-Absolutely.

Oh my God, thank you.

So would you mind getting Mavi dressed
and pack a few things for her?

No problem. I'll go get her dressed.
You go lie down.

Oh, you're the best.

[Funda sighs]

[music fades]

You're all set.

So, um,
Nazlı is gonna go with you and Mavi.

What?

[groans] Nazlı was kind enough
to switch her day off to tomorrow.

Honey, I don't know why we're going
if you're not coming.

Oh, come on, İlker. It's fine.

I'll send them flowers to apologize.
Just make sure Mavi sees the doctor.

Please do this for me, all right?

[sighs]

Are you all ready, my little princess?

Look at how pretty you are.

[Nazlı chuckles]

-Ah, come here, baby.
-[Nazlı] Mm.

Come here. That's my girl.

Oh, yes.
You're such a sweetie, aren't you?

Look at you all in blue.

Nazlı, I put all these aside for you.

[ethereal string music playing]

Thank you, but you didn't have to do that.

It's my pleasure,

and they haven't been worn much,
if at all.

I bought some online,
and some of the tags are still on them.

I was too lazy to return them.

Here, I love this one.
It'll look great on you.

There's a dress code for today.
It's beige and white.

I think you should wear this.
It'll look amazing on you.

Okay.

[music intensifies]

I wouldn't worry.
Everything seems just fine.

Her mother took good care of your girl.

That slight curvature in her neck
really isn't very serious.

You can tell Mrs. Funda she can rest easy.

-Thank you so much. We appreciate it.
-Of course. Enjoy the day.

You too. It was great to meet you.

[Nazlı] Oh, is that a bee
over there, sweetie?

Oh my God! Did you dye your hair? Oh!

[laughs]

-I'm sorry. I thought you were Funda.
-[Nazlı] Oh.

I've heard all about you.
How are you? Nazlı?

-Yes, thank you. I'm fine. You?
-I'm fine. Thanks.

Funda is disappointed
she couldn't be here.

-Has one of her migraines.
-Oh, poor thing.

We're gonna go play for a bit. Hmm?

Say, "Bye-bye."

Bye-bye, sweetie.

[Nazlı] Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Come on, pretty girl.
Let's go play for a bit, okay? Yeah.

Look at all this, Mavi bird. Wow.

[Selin] How are you doing, İlker?

[İlker] Good, good.

I'm gonna go and make the rounds
and see who's here.

[Nazlı] Wow! Look at all the colors.

Oh!

-[mystical ethereal music playing]
-[laughs]

[Nazlı] What's this, Mavi? [gasps]

Look at that big bubble! Ah!

Where did it go?

[gasps] Ooh!

Whee!

[music fades]

May I have your attention?

I just wanna welcome everyone.

Um, my trusted partner and I
have always liked…

Can this guy even
tie his shoes without you?

Sh.

It can also be applied
to building a happy life.

But in a marriage,
other words are equally as important.

Patience, understanding,
effort, sacrifice.

But it's important
to keep the passion and excitement alive,

as well as admiration.

Nur and I have been through a lot,

and we've gotten through
some rough patches.

It'd probably make an interesting novel.

There were times we may not have
liked each other very much,

but all marriages go through that,
and no one is perfect.

And that brings me back to sustainability.

It works for both business and marriage…

So I'm İlker, and, um,
what's most important to me

in an architectural project is…
[inhales] …aesthetics.

[laughs]

Uh, and that's because
I'm so good-looking that--

Think you're funny, don't you?

Don't hate me because I'm so handsome.

-Real smart-a*s, aren't you?
-[both laugh]

[man] We're grateful to you all,
and we're so happy you came.

We love you very much.

To you.

Bravo!

[mysterious music playing]

[sighs]

[phone chimes]

YOUR DRESS IS HERE, WHERE ARE YOU?
GET WELL SOON, HONEY.

[music fades]

[Nazlı] Whoo! Ooh!

Whoo! [laughs]

I can see why you're leaving the office
so early these days.

[sighs]

Yeah, I totally get why
you'd want to work from home, bro.

Give me a break, will ya?

Check out Memo.
The guy's circling that girl like a shark.

Come on, man. Don't tell me
you haven't thought about it.

There's even a term for it.
"Hot Nanny" for you.

[scoffs]

But it's not something I would know about
since their grandmother babysits our kids.

-[İlker] Serkan, just shut up, all right?
-[Serkan]All right, all right. Relax.

I'm sure she's taken anyway.

No way she's single.

Where's all that talk
about love and relationship?

Hmm?

Respect, loyalty, renewing your vows.

Was that all just an act?

No, those are real.

But we can dream.

A man lives as long as he dreams, partner.

[chuckles] Am I wrong?

[Serkan laughs] Enjoy your meal.

[Nazlı] Look at how pretty, Mavi.
Do you like all those bubbles? [gasps]

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

Ba, ba, ba, ba.

Look at them all.

[mysterious music playing]

[sighs]

FIND IT
NAZLI DEMİRCİ

VETERINARIAN NAZLI DEMİRCİ

PROF. DR. NAZLI DEMİRCİ

[music intensifies]

[Memo clears throat]

You're having fun here,
aren't you, sweetie?

Hmm?

[sniffs]

[Mavi cooing]

Mavi.

[Mavi babbles]

Mavi.

Hop!

[Memo laughs]

She is such a sweet little girl.

And I think, um, she's pretty lucky too

because she's got such a beautiful nanny
looking after her.

Ah, you know, I gotta tell you,

these company events used to be
painfully boring for me.

And, well, who knows?

Maybe now they're gonna be

a little more interesting
if it means seeing you here.

[intriguing music playing]

Huh? Hmm?

You know, I'm actually curious
about something.

If you don't mind my asking,

how much does İlker pay you
to look after Mavi?

Because I was thinking

if I were to pay you double
to, uh, take care of me too?

[music turns suspenseful]

Wait for a few minutes,

and I'll meet you by the restrooms.

[Memo sighs]

Okay.

[chuckles]

Ah. [clears throat]

I'll see you over there.

[suspenseful music continues]

CHAMOMILE

[doorbell rings]

[doorbell ringing]

[music fades]

Uh, hello.

Can I help you?

I've been trying
to get in touch with Nazlı.

And I've tried calling her.

I'm Emre.

I'm Nazlı's boyfriend.

Her battery must be dead.

I asked her if she could
switch her day off to tomorrow.

We were supposed to go to an event,
but I'm not feeling well,

so she did me this favor.

She took Mavi.

I hope you feel better soon.
I should be going.

Would you mind telling her I came by?

No, you don't have to go. You can stay.

You're obviously worried.
Just stay till she gets back.

I'm the reason you missed her,
so don't worry.

Let's make you some hot tea.

-Wow. It's been ten years, huh?
-[Selin] Yes.

I guess time flies when you're having fun.

Mr. İlker, sir?

I need to go to the ladies' room.
Could you watch Mavi for a few minutes?

Yeah, of course.

Thank you.

Oh, let me have a look
at that pretty little angel.

[exhales]

[sniffles]

Follow me.

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

-[Memo sighs]
-Hmm.

Well…

[Nazlı] Mm.

You are quite something.

-Sh.
-[laughs]

[Nazlı exhales]

-[Memo] Oh!
-[chuckles]

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

Okay, smile.

-[suspenseful music playing]
-[Memo groans] What are you doing?

-[groans] What are you… What the hell?
-Mm.

[Memo grunting]

I think your wife would love to know
about all the fun you're having.

[grunts] Stop. Who the hell are you,
you stupid b*tch?

-I'm Nazlı.
-[groans]

The girl who can f*ck up your life
in the blink of an eye.

Now get the f*ck away from me.

[groans]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[breathes shakily]

[groans]

[sniffles]

[breathing heavily]

[sighs]

[sniffles, sighs]

[music fades]

[unsettling music playing]

Uh…

Uh… we need to change her diaper.

Oh, diaper.

-[Mavi babbles]
-[Nazlı chuckles]

[music fades]

Emre, what do you do for a living?

I work in pharmaceuticals.

Logistics.

So did you meet Nazlı
back when she was a nurse?

Uh-huh.

Yeah. I, uh, said pharmaceuticals,

but it's in the warehouse.

I don't even know why I said logistics.
It's actually delivery.

I guess being here got me a bit nervous,
and I blurted that out.

I know that sounds stupid.

-Why are you nervous?
-I have no idea.

It's like there's a vibe in your house.

Kinda making me feel like a failure.

No. Don't say that, come on.

There's nothing you can do about it.
It's just me.

I don't want you to feel bad.

[poignant piano music playing]

EMRE


WHERE ARE YOU?
YOU'RE NOT PICKING UP?

[phone ringing]

[Funda] There.
You can save that number. It's mine.

In case you can't reach Nazlı.

Feel free to call me if you need to.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[music fades]

It looks like we ruined your day off.

Um, thank you for coming.

No problem.

Did you have a good time?

Well, I was there to watch Mavi.

Not to be having a good time.

[sighs]

Sir, could you turn off the A/C?
It's a bit cold.

Look, could you drop the "sir?"

You don't have to be so formal.

No, I'd rather not. "Sir" is fine.

[sighs]

So?

How long have you been with Nazlı?

A little over a year now.

Mm.

One year, two months,

and ten days.

[chuckles]

And you? How long have you been married?

-Two years.
-Still quite new.

Well, actually married for two years,
but we've known each other for 15 years.

-We were very close friends before that.
-Mm. [laughs]

She played and laughed
and found her place.

What? What does that mean?

Not a clue,
but my aunt says it all the time.

I think it's about people
who've had their fun and now settled down.

You seem like such a sweet guy.
I really like you, Emre.

You just say what you think.

Thanks. [laughs]

I like you too, ma'am.

Oh God. Don't call me ma'am.
It's so formal.

Okay, thank you.

Are you and Nazlı
ever planning to get married?

Yeah.

Nazlı, is there anything
that you wanna talk to me about?

-Like what?
-I don't know.

Uh… but if there's ever something,
don't be shy.

What would we have to talk about?

Like your feelings maybe?

What do you mean "my feelings"?

Your feelings towards me.

And what makes you think
I have any feelings for you?

I didn't mean it that way. Um…

I just… I wasn't suggesting
that you had any.

Look, all I'm saying is,

it feels like there's something
that you wanna tell me,

but you're holding back.

There's nothing I wanna tell you.

[sighs]

Then let me ask you.

Funda mentioned you had an accident.

[unsettling music playing]

I haven't been able
to stop thinking about it.

Did you lose a child?

I can see why you two make a great couple.

Wh… What do you mean by that?

You both want answers
to all the questions you have.

Uh… [sighs]

Could we not talk for a bit?
Mavi's falling asleep.

[music subsides]

Would you like me to give you a top-up?

No, thank you very much.

[door opens]

Mm.

-Welcome home.
-Sh.

[softly] We have a guest.

[pensive piano music playing]

[Funda] Come on, let's get her to bed.

You shouldn't have come inside.

She invited me in.
What was I supposed to do?

She was only asking you in to be polite.

All right, fine. I'll just leave, then.

I don't know why you felt it necessary
to come down here.

I mean, it's not like
there's anything going on.

What's with the look?

I'm looking at your dress.

[İlker] Sh, sh, sh.

All right, look.

I know you couldn't make it today.

How about tomorrow? Is that good?

That would be great.

[music fades]

I mean, come on. At this hour?
What does he want?

İlker, come on, I insisted.

He's only gonna be here for half an hour.

Don't make a big thing out of it. Come.

E… Emre's got a motorcycle too.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, but it's not mine.

It's… the company's, but I like it.

What do you do for a living?

I'm in pharmaceuticals.

And you?

You're an architect?

Yeah.

Is it your father's company?

No, my father was a contractor.

My friend and I built the company
from the ground up.

I'm sure he must have had
some influence on you.

I mean, you're kind of
following in his footsteps.

Contractor, architect. You know?

You built this house too, I suppose?

I did.

Pretty cool. This kind of place
in the middle of the city.

-What, you don't like it?
-Not at all.

I love it.

It's just a bit isolated.

You don't even have any neighbors.

[uneasy music playing]

Mm, yeah, it's pretty secluded here.

I guess you like having neighbors, huh?

No.

I don't like people in general.

Uh, except for Nazlı, I'm guessing.

Emre and Nazlı are getting married.

I had no idea. Not a clue.

I hope I didn't say something wrong?

Not at all. I was just, um,
talking about my future plans.

I'm so sorry.

Communication is very important,

and sometimes you're not always
on the same page.

Gotta make sure
you're speaking the same language.

You're right.

Some relationships last,
and some just fizzle out, maybe.

There's a certain degree of luck
in finding the person

you'll grow old with.

I really hope that for you.

Whenever that time comes.

[Mavi whining]

Oh, I think Mavi's awake.
I'll go check on her.

[Emre] Well, I guess I should get going.

[Mavi whining]

-[kisses] Bye.
-Yeah, I'll see ya.

[Mavi continues whining]

Seems like
she's really happy working here.

[Funda] We're happy that she's here too,
and Mavi loves her.

And she sure loves Mavi.

I can promise you that because, uh,

nothing could drag her away today.

It's the anniversary
of her grandmother's passing.

She never said anything.

We were supposed to get together
and go to the cemetery.

Usually, she stays there
for the entire day.

Anyway, thank you for everything.
Have a good night, ma'am.

Thanks, you too.

[music fades]

Where did you find that jerk, huh?

The guy's weird. Not at all your type.

Not my type.

[İlker sighs]

Do you actually think you know me?

I think I do, yeah.

After a few months.

No one can really know someone
in a few months.

I can.

The only person who ever knew me
isn't here anymore.

[poignant music playing]

[Nazlı's grandmother] After I'm gone,
wrap your arms around yourself

and hold on tight
as if I'm still there with you.

Then, when you have a daughter
who's a spitting image of you,

you can let go of yourself and hold her.

And then you'll find

that you will never be alone
in this world.

[Nazlı's grandmother sighs]

Nazlı.

[Nazlı] Hmm?

I… I need to ask you something.

[sniffles] Do you love me?

I do.

How much?

So very much.

Enough to hold on?

[Nazlı sniffles]

Or enough to let go?

[music fades]

-[glass clinks]
-[water pouring]

Today was the anniversary
of my grandmother's death.

[melancholy music playing]

I feel horrible
that you couldn't go to the cemetery.

I never would've asked you
to do that if I'd known.

One day,

she said to me,

"Wrap your arms around yourself
and hold on tight."

"Like I'm still there."

And these days,
I don't feel lonely anymore.

Not when I'm with you, Funda.

[music fades]

[Funda] If I had hugged her
at that moment,

would everything be different?

I'll never know.

[dramatic music playing]

[Nazlı's grandmother groans]

-[groans]

[Nazlı's grandmother groans]

[Nazlı sniffles]

[Nazlı's grandmother groans]

[groans]

[music swells]

[music intensifies]

[sniffles]

[sniffles]

[sniffles]

[phone line ringing]

[man] Hello, what is your emergency?

Hello.

Ma'am, what's your emergency?

[Funda] I just didn't wanna change
anything about her.

I needed to find out who she really was.

Now I understand why I would never know.

All this time,
she'd been waiting for someone else.

And in the end, it wouldn't have mattered
what anyone did.

No one could have brought her out
from where she was hiding.

[tense music playing]

[sighs]

I do know you.

I know you intimately.
