01x04 - Face-off

Post by bunniefuu »

Between the World and Us

Hi.

Hi, baby.

Uh, are you okay?
How's your stomach?

I'm fine.

- Good.
- I'm okay.

Argh.

ILKIN GÖNEN Editor in Chief

You wanted to find out, and you
did. See? He didn't cheat on you.

Yes, true.

The fake account
worked out well.

Yes, it did.

I found out everything I wanted to
know. I've seen into Tolga's soul.

We talked about everything. I got
him to accept the play. It worked.

So? Everything's okay,
but why the sad face?

Oh, yeah.

I've already done
everything I needed to do.

I've learned everything I wanted to
learn. I don't need this account anymore.

- I'm deleting it.
- Ah!

- There, gone.
- Did you delete it?

Oh, my God! Is it over
now? Is the matter closed?

Finally.
I'm excited. Hey.

I got some energy. What should I do?
Should I flirt with someone or what?

Uluç!

- I've got something to tell you!
- Don't!

Good morning, Recep.

- I've been waiting for you.
- Oh, why?

Please… After you.

PRIVATE SECURITY

What is it, Recep? Why
are you following me?

Ms. Ilkin's orders.

I'm awesome!

Awesome! Perfect!

I don't make mistakes! I haven't. I do
the right thing! I did the right thing!

No, it doesn't work. I
don't feel it. It's a lie.

No, no, why are you
stopping, Tolga?

It was very good. Look, trust
me. This is the Superman method.

It always works. But try harder.

Yell, scream, jump, fly! Okay?
Get in there, really get in there.

Feel the passion pulsing through
your veins. Come on, feel it.

I'm awesome. Awesome.

- I'm awesome. You're great.
- I'm great.

I'm great! You're great! You're
great! You're great! You're great!

I'm
perfect. I'm perfect!

I've got everything! Talent, I've got
it! Courage, got that too! I'm great.

Like a boxer! No one
can hold me back!

No one! I'm better than
everyone! I'm awesome!

- I'm sh*t!
- What happened?

She deleted her account.

I was going to delete it.
I was going to say goodbye,

but she disappeared.

Well, she did you a
favor. That's great.

It's not great, Cüneyt.

When it comes to texting,
oh, she's so cool…

But when she's in front of me…

What do you mean,
in front of you?

Oh, f*ck it!

I can't get that look, at
the hotel, out of my mind.

She looked like
she was suffering.

As if she were in love.

I can't shake it.

What is happening to me?

You're in a
long-term relationship, man!

Maybe you were looking for
a thrill. You were bored.

No, it wasn't like that.

This girl has gotten
under my skin.

Every word she
wrote penetrated me.

f*ck! What is this,
like a schoolboy?

Bro, let it slide.

You were going to end it
anyway. She did it, so what?

Anyway, we are in
deep sh*t, man.

The production company doesn't
want you to do the theater gig.

I can't deal with
it. You handle it.

- Know a magazine called Fashion?
- Nope.

I mean, it is a trade magazine,
but it's of high quality.

The editor in chief
is my close friend.

You'll start immediately
as an assistant.

Your salary has increased. I've
already paid your severance package.

They're waiting for you. Start
whenever. You just need to call.

Did I get fired again?

This time it's real.

Ms. Ilkin, if it's
about yesterday…

Sinem, please.

Look, this really won't work.

You won't forget what happened,

and I'll feel weird
every time I see you.

I think this is how it should
be. It's the right thing.

It's not the right thing for me!

No, it's not! It's not fair.

I only hid one thing from you, Ms. Ilkin,
then I showed it to you, I told you.

I didn't do anything
wrong. What did I do?

Seriously?

Yes! Tell me what I did!

Sinem, you fell
in love with him.

Did you really think that
I wouldn't figure it out?

True, I didn't expect this in the
first place, maybe it is my fault,

but you weren't able to
control your feelings.

I'm sorry.

You may leave.

You did it! You told
me about him for hours!

You made me listen to his
voice! You showed me his photos!

You can't blame me for it!

- Lower your voice!
- As if I'd have dreamed of such a thing!

As if I could dream
of Tolga! You did it!

So it's Tolga now?

What happened to Mr. Tolga?

You told me not to say that.

You took me, dressed me up. You
presented me with your own hands.

You did it yourself.

As if I wasn't human. As
if I have no feelings.

You used me.

You made me fall in love.

But do you know what happened?

He saw me.

Unlike you.

Unlike everyone else in this office,
in the whole world, Tolga noticed me.

Now do what you want.

Fire me. Humiliate me. Let your
staff humiliate me. I don't care.

Because we saw each other.

It was mutual.

That's something you
can't take away from me.

What?

What are you looking
at? Get back to work!

What are you, a flock of sheep?

- Everyone mind your own business!
- This is nuts.

- Sinem? What's going on?
- Yes, Ceren?

What's the matter? Going to
make fun of me again, huh?

Uh, wait a minute,
you want coffee?

Here! Here's your coffee!

- Get out.
- Okay, okay, Recep. I'm leaving.

Imposter!

Selfish! "I can take her, play
with her, throw her away."

Oh, my! Oh!

Throw me away! As if I was
happy to be your knockoff.

I'm relieved, oh, man! Take your
precious job and your boyfriend!

Special Interview Series
TOLGA KARANÇ Life Developments

Okay, so, it's time
for our annual awards ceremony.

The results of
the Internet poll.

Of course, the actors are in the
majority. The most popular ones.

Let's have a look
at our candidates.

MAQUETTE MAN OF
THE YEAR NOMINEES

Ah… My vote is for
Hakan Lokum. Definitely.

But he doesn't have
a lot of followers.

So I don't think it'll make any
noise. I think we should pass.

There's Hasan.

The man breaks records
for Internet followers.

Yes, that's because
his TV series is a hit.

Not because he's a good actor. Therefore,
he wouldn't be a good choice for us.

Kürsat.

Kürsat. Hmm…

You know what I really mean?

We need to find someone who can
do different types of acting.

A TV series, a movie…

a theater, a play, for example.

Huh? Let's pass.

- Huh. Uh-huh!
- What can I say?

Obviously, it's not right for me to
comment any further at this point.

Make your decision by the evening, tell
me the result. It doesn't matter to me.

Let's move on with
the female actors.

Let's move
on to the actresses.

Here are the ladies.

I can't schedule the
sh**t. You have rehearsals every day!

sh**t the exterior night scenes,
set up the garden scenes in the mansion.

We can only use the
mansion on weekends.

There are 120 pages of work,
Tolga. How will we get it done?

I don't care. What's it to me?

You figure it out!
It is not my problem.

- Fine! We'll figure it out.
- How are you, Ümit?

How do you think?

Take it easy.

Argh! Why is he
getting upset with me?

Oh, Tolga, we're f*cked.

The guys agree. It's either
the TV series or theater.

- Fine. I'll cut back on rehearsals.
- No, Tolga, you don't get it.

- What don't I get?
- The contract's in their hands.

They'll f*ck us up. They're
telling you not to do it.

Don't make me crazy, Cüneyt.

I asked for one thing. It's the first time
in my life I'm excited about something.

I'll cut back on rehearsals.
They can take it or leave it!

They say they'll leave it,
that's what I'm trying to say.

Here you go.

The man of the year.

I wonder who that
is. Let me see.

Ah!

Who would have thought? Tolga!

I'm shocked!

But you never influenced
anyone.

I can't believe it.

You practically gave him an
award. Who the hell are you?

I don't recognize you, really.

Tolga misses Berlin.

Oh, f*ck!

- Excuse me, can you get me one of those?
- Right away.

- How do you know he misses her?
- I can see it.

Oh…

It's obvious
he's thinking about her.

But that's not the problem.

What is it?

I miss Berlin too.

Geez…

I'm so fed up, Burçin. I
don't want to see Tolga like this.

That excitement, that
adrenaline, it's all gone.

Whatever happened, he's
back to his old self.

Every now and then I catch myself
wondering if I should write to him.

Then I think about Sinem.
What is she doing, how is she?

I wonder if she's got
the slightest idea.

And that space between us…

It turns out that Sinem filled it,
even if it was only for a short time.

Okay, I did it for Tolga.

But I did it for me too.

I used that girl to
patch up my relationship.

She's gone, and now there's the
same void in our relationship again.

Thank you very much.

Argh!

I've had enough!

You take everything
so seriously.

Why don't you relax a
little? You're gorgeous.

Look around you, and
see your choices.

Shall we have some fun
with you? Huh? Come on!

We'll just have a
little bit of fun? Huh?

Please. Take a look around
you. Take a look. Take a look.

Hmm. Look at this guy.

Look at the one next
to that person in red.

Hello, beautiful
lady. My name is Hasan.

Don't take me for granted.
I'm a high roller.

Why are you laughing, sweet girl?

Shall I give you the world?
Shall I drown you in money?

Burçin, please!
Stop being ridiculous, darling!

- Okay. Oh, my God!
- Burçin, please.

I got it this time.
I got it for sure.

Hello, I'm Orçun.

My body fat is three
percent. So is my IQ.

I'm hyperactive. I bench press a
hundred. Want me to show you my muscles?

- I don't want to see them.
- Don't you want to see my Adonis muscles?

Oh, honey! Oh,
relax! Laugh a little.

Should I do you a favor?

Unlock your phone. Yes, your phone.
I won't do anything, unlock it!

- Look, you're scaring me now.
- No, trust me. Wait a minute.

- Burçin?
- Yes?

- What are you doing? Don't!
- Wait!

Okay, okay. Take it.

"Hi. Can you look
over to your right?"

- Oh! f*ck! Burçin!
- Oh, shame on you!

You swore. Well done.
That's how it is.

You'll flirt, you'll enjoy
life. That's how it is.

What the hell is this? Tolga this,
Tolga that. Tolga and more Tolga.

Okay. Oh! f*ck, he's coming.
I'm going to the bathroom.

- Burçin, you can't leave. Burçin.
- You'll be fine.

Hi, I'm Berkan. Can we
get to know each other?

May I sit down?

Great.

Does it taste good?

Yeah. Good enough.

I work in advertising.

- I have an agency.
- Hmm.

We mostly work in digital.
So I love being creative.

I love the freedom of it.

I also model sometimes.
Brands insist on it.

I do sports and stuff. I
guess I attract attention.

- Hmm.
- I was offered a movie role that I liked.

This time in full…

I don't know you.

I don't know anything about you.

Recently I've…

But there
is one thing I know.

I will never give up on you.

In the end, I
decided to get naked.

That's enough.

Ilkin! Ilkin! Can you stop?

- What's the matter?
- It's not working anymore!

Why can't I end it?

g*dd*mn it, I don't want to go home,
my feet are pulling me backwards.

Then all of a sudden... All
of a sudden I think of him.

The first time I saw
him. The dreams we had…

I'm saying, after all these
things, why am I still…

I say okay, I gather
my courage, I decide…

Then I see his hands.

I love his hands so much.
Will I get to hold them again?

Oh! Come here, my beautiful girl.

But that's how it is.

Unfortunately, when the idea of
breaking up gets in our head,

there's no going
back. I'm sorry.

No. I'll end it after
the awards ceremony.

You were so right.

That cliff… Well, I
need to jump off first.

Take a look at the last
few issues, understand them.

Then tell me what you understood. We'll
start somewhere according to that.

Guys, take a look over here!

Sinem is my new assistant.
It's her first day on the job.

Anyway, take a seat.
Let's not waste time.

Um, okay, which one is my desk?

Well, I don't know if
you're here to stay or not.

Take the cafeteria table
for now, and we'll see.

Okay, thank you.

8th Annual Award Ceremony
Best Actor Nominee

Aren't you going to tell me why this
little girl had a nervous breakdown?

- I won't tell you because I don't want to.
- Oh!

What will you do if I don't tell
you? I'm so scared.

And do you know why I'm
not asking, my dear Uluç?

Because I don't give a f*ck.

I'm glad that little snake has gone.
I'd drown her in coffee if I saw her.

- She's right.
- She went nuts.

- No one would do such a thing.
- Uh-oh!

What's up? What
are you doing here?

Ah, it's that… I
came to say sorry.

f*ck off, Sinem.

I really don't know what
happened the other day.

I lost my temper, Ceren, I'm
so sorry. I regret it so much.

You haunt my dreams, Ceren. I feel
guilty. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry.

Please forgive me.

Do I care? No.

Why did you come here?

I forgot something at my desk.

Then take
whatever you forgot and f*ck off!

Such an idiot.

She's suffering from
a guilty conscience.

Oh, my Lord!

Oh! I've lost it, I think. Uh, well…
Sorry to bother you. I'm leaving.

I've lost it, I think.
Sorry to bother you. I'm leaving.

You didn't make them give
me this award, did you?

Oh, Tolga, you're
really something!

You deserved this award. But if
you don't want it, you can say so.

I'll say he's rejecting the award.
It's okay with me, it's up to you.

Okay, I'll shut up, I'm going.

- Welcome!
- Welcome, Mr. Tolga!

Mr. Tolga,
a photo, please.

Mr. Tolga, I'd like to take a
photo of you, please. Thanks.

Thanks.

- You look amazing!
- Ms. Burçin, one photo!

You should pose alone
too. I'm right here.

Hello.
Welcome, Ms. Ilkin.

Thanks, Mr. Tolga.

Do you always
wear these colors?

- Yes, yes. Always. Thank you.
- Ah! It really suits you.

- Good evening, how are you?
- Hello, Ms. Ilkin.

Hello. Burçin.

But you can't do this!
What the hell is this?

I can't believe you. Come here.
I want to tell you something.

Girl, you're so hot!

If Bella Hadid came, I'd kick her right
off the stage. She has nothing on you!

Are you okay?

I'm really well. How do
I look? Do I look good?

Let's say, as usual. Have
you had too much to drink?

No. Zero. Nada. Rien.

I've had nothing to drink.
But I have had something.

You know what I had? I'll tell
you in your ear.

I had a joint, a jay! But
ask me, why did I have it?

- Why did you have it?
- You know your man's manager…

- Cüneyt.
- Oh, yeah, him.

He's obsessed with me. Uh-huh. He's
on Insta. He comments on my Story.

He writes everywhere.

Hey, as*h*le, take a look at yourself then
look at me. Can't you see the difference?

Look where you are,
and see where I am.

- Burçin, look, they're coming.
- Huh?

You know he's Tolga's cousin.
Please keep a low profile.

- I'll show you how to keep a low profile.
- Okay.

- Hey!
- Hello.

Tolga.

You look so beautiful.

- That's your beauty, baby.
- Huh?

- But look. Women are beautiful.
- Hmm?

You're a man. Men…

Men can be charismatic, handsome,
but not this beautiful.

- I can't say the same about you.
- Why?

Is my hair messed up?

I came on a motorcycle.
My helmet...

- Is he talking about his p*nis?
- Not that kind of helmet.

- Shall we go?
- I don't know what he's saying.

- What language are you speaking?
- She's drunk.

- Did you rent that tux?
- Uh-huh.

Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you. You're all so elegant.

Tonight is Maquette's
night. Welcome!

- Hello, beautiful.
- Huh?

Look, I want
to show you something.

Don't show me. You'll show me a
d*ck pic or something, I won't look.

What do
you take me for? No.

Look, I got a photo,
a self-portrait.

I framed it and put it
on my bedside table.

- Wow.
- Hmm.

You should have put it on a T-shirt too.

Get
my name tattooed…

…on your neck.
I'll be more impressed that way.

Don't say that. I'll believe it.

Shall I say a few things
to you, dear Cüneyt?

- Oh, the way your lips say dear!
- What are you gonna do with my lips?

Uh, confession time?

Look, we can't go back in time, but
I've been crazy about you for years.

- Ugh! Don't do that.
- Huh?

Don't use those cheap bumper sticker
lines when you flirt with me.

Flirting. What? How
should I flirt with you?

- Shall I tell you?
- Yep.

- Come closer. I'll whisper it in your ear.
- Ah, okay.

Ah… In your dreams.

Only in your dreams.

You fool.

Uh-oh, what are you doing here?

- You're up next.
- Nah, there's still time.

- There's time. Good. Look at this.
- That's what Burçin said.

- She'll come.
- Is this okay?

One second.

Thanks.

What the f*ck's going on?

What are you doing?

Are you making fun of me? Are you
playing games? What are you doing?

I came to see you...

And then walk away, right?

I mean, like you always do.

What's your point, huh?

"I got a celebrity to follow
me. I tricked him…" Is that it?

What are you trying to do?

I don't even know your name.

All right, it's over. It's over
before it started. That's-That's good.

Will you please leave now? And
don't ever let me see you again.

Sinem.

My name is Sinem.

Well, how are you
enjoying it? Are you tired of me?

I love you too. As you know, Maquette
is a magazine that exists in every field

where labor, work and
rewards are celebrated.

Have you seen Tolga?

They were having a drink
over there a few minutes ago.

It will be his turn soon.
Let me go and take a look.

…as a women's
magazine, we owe it to all women…

- Cüneyt, have you seen Tolga?
- He'll be back soon. He was outside.

It'll be his turn soon.

- I'll go get him.
- Don't worry. I'll get him.

…a fair
world is possible,

especially where our working women
stand with those in all industries.

Now we have come to the
most important awards.

Our next category is Man of the
Year, and here are the nominees.

Sinem!

And announcing the winner…

Man of the Year, Tolga Karanç!

Mr. Tolga must be shy.
Once again. The winner is…

Tolga Karanç!

What the hell have
you done to me?

I've fallen in love.

We've been writing for a while.

We met a couple of times.

But nothing happened.

I wouldn't do that to you.

I just…

She and I…

Ilkin.

I still love you so much.

I know it may sound ridiculous to you
now. You may be angry with me, but…

I haven't given up on you.

I'm going to ask
you just one thing.

Why?

I don't know.

- Think about it.
- Ilkin.

What did you see in her
that you didn't see in me?

Think about it, Tolga.

She's very easy to talk to.

She understands me.

- Can't be that. Something else, Tolga.
- What else, Ilkin?

- Okay...
- Answer me, Tolga.

She doesn't demand
anything from me.

She has no expectations.

- She just wants me to be happy...
- Tolga, something else.

What else, Ilkin? What else?

We have so many
things in common.

Music, movies, theater, jokes…

Tolga, something else!

It can't be those things.
It must be something else!

Was she very young,
very beautiful?

Did you want her too much?

Was she so hot? What else was
there, Tolga? What else was there?

She needed me.

Not like you.

I don't have to work or make an
effort to get her to like me.

She admires me.

Dependent.

She needs me.

That's right.

I've never needed you.

I chose you because
I really wanted you.

And no matter what,

I'd still choose you.

Sinem Gümüs Hurriyet
Street 8/11, Galata…

Damn it! g*dd*mn it!
g*dd*mn it! g*dd*mn it!

I've fallen in love.

And no matter what…

I'd still choose you.

- Sir! That's not your vehicle!
- It's my manager's!

Tell him Tolga took it!

Please come.
Please come. Please come.

Please.

I've fallen in love.

She needed
me! She needed me!

She needed me! Not like you!
