Episode 43 #2 of 8
When she gets upstairs, Ferit says that was a fast visit. He asks what his grandfather said. Seyran is very happy and tells him he said: Tell that rascal to take you shopping today and buy you whatever you want.
Ferit: Stop playing around. I asked you a serious question.
Seyran: I am serious. Ferit, do you think I’m lying just to leave the house? He said he’s rewarding me.
Ferit: How did he come to that decision? He just told you? He could have told me.
Seyran: That’s just the part you need to know, sorry!
Ferit: Come on, Seyran, tell me.
Seyran: He didn’t say anything, Ferit. He wanted to talk to me because he loves me, that’s all.
Ferit: He told you he loves you?
Seyran: Don’t be jealous.
Ferit: You’re a liar, and grandfather doesn’t care for liars.
Seyran: Soon you’ll see just how much he loves me. I’m sure that there’ll be a big surprise in store for you too.
Ferit: A surprise? What surprise?
Seyran: Well, I’m not sure.
He keeps pressing her to tell him. She tells him to get ready to go shopping, they should do what Grandfather says, so get dressed.
Ferit won’t let it drop: What did you talk about? Could it have been about a great-grandchild?
Seyran: Very funny.
Ferit: Come on, Seyran! Tell me what Grandpa said.
Seyran: Fine, maybe I’ll tell you if you behave yourself today.
He sighs and she tells him not to be sad.
Gulgun is walking upstairs. She runs into the happy couple at the top of the stairs.
Gulgun: Wow, you look gorgeous. Where are you going?
Ferit: My grandfather told Seyran that he wants us to go shopping and have fun. But since Seyran’s the one who told me, maybe she’s lying.
Gulgun says it’s a great idea and will be good for both of them.
Seyran tells her Halis told them not to return home until the evening.
Gulgun asks Ferit to give her a minute alone with Seyran.
Ferit: What is going on. Everyone wants to speak to Seyran in private lately.
Gulgun tells him it’s no big deal.
Gulgun to Seyran: I felt so bad that I couldn’t talk to you at the hospital. I was very worried and got very upset when you told me that Ferit had left. I know the things I said broke your heart. I’m sorry. Forgive me for that.
Seyran: Don’t mention it, Ms. Gulgun. Trust me, I’m not offended. You were right. You were right about everything.
Gulgun is very happy and tells her not to keep him waiting. She asks what Halis said. Seyran hems and haws at first,…

Outside, Ferit walks toward the car and comes upon Yusuf.
Ferit: Hi, how’s it going handsome? You’re still here?
Yusuf: I’m here, you got a problem with that?
Ferit: No, why would I? In fact, I ought to be thanking you for bringing me my wife.
Ferit smiles and Yusuf takes a breath.
Ferit continues: I felt like I understood you before, but no, there’s no hope for you. She made her feelings clear in front of everyone. Have you no pride, man? If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t stay. I’d flee when I got the chance.
Yusuf: If you were like me, could you even be here? How long could you live without a family like this?

Episode 43 #3 of 8
Ferit listens in a snarky manner.
Yusuf continues: Without money or power? I didn’t have parents or a grandfather to support me. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth, so cut the crap. You’re nothing without this family, Ferit.
Ferit laughs out loud: Sure, but don’t you think you’re exaggerating some? But keep it up. Everything coming out of your mouth is hilarious. Who’d have thought that talking to you would brighten my day so much?
Ferit pats Yusuf on his front shoulder. Yusuf’s look is darkening.
Ferit laughs broadly, still touching Yusuf on the shoulder: I didn’t figure you for a comedian, but you are, you really are. You’re the total package, and who doesn’t like that? Nobody, that’s who.
Ferit sings: Me, me, me, we’re back, and nobody’s taking my place. No way!
When Ferit reaches the car, he jumps on Abidin’s back. Abidin tells him to take it easy or he will hurt him.
Seyran is walking toward the car after her talk with Gulgun, and she walks by Yusuf, whom she ignores.
Ferit is now telling Abidin he missed him. Abidin tells him he missed him too. Ferit tells him he is still impressed with how Abidin acted.
Abidin: OK, but don’t talk about it like it’s something to be proud of.
Ferit: There’s no need to be modest. I really appreciate it.
Abidin: It was nothing, don’t mention it.
Ferit: Thank you. You’re the best friend a guy could have.
Seyran reaches them and Abidin asks where they are going. She is smiling brightly. Ferit tells him they are going wherever Seyran wants to go. Whatever the princess wants. Shopping, eating,…orders from above.
Seyran: I’m hungry, so let’s eat first.
Ferit: Of course, we’ll do whatever you want. You in the mood for fish? Beef, chicken? How about that pizzeria?
Seyran: Yes, let’s go there! But are you sure?
Ferit: Ferit Korhan doesn’t do anything he’s not sure of, you understand?
Seyran nods: I’m aware. When you make up your mind about something, you don’t rest until you get it.
Ferit opens the door for her. Seyran exclaims: I can’t believe it. You’re acting like a gentleman.
He tells Abidin as he goes to get in the other side: I’m a gentleman, now.
Abidin tells him: You’re my sweet problem.

At a nice restaurant with a waterfront view, we see Pelin meeting Serter. He helps her get seated and she thanks him. He tells her he is glad she came. Serter said they didn’t get a chance to talk or to get to know one another.
Pelin: Yeah, it feels a little weird.
They seem almost shy trying to find words for their first conversation. He reassures her that they are just meeting as friends. Pelin smiles at this.

Seyran is playing with a well-dressed dog at their restaurant, named SALT (the restaurant). Ferit jokes that the dog is adorable and has ears like hers. She tells him the dog’s name is Naget. The waiter brings their food. Ferit says it smells wonderful. He asks Seyran if she likes this place. She tells him she liked it when they came before. That was a very fun day. Ferit says she has her reasons for liking it, but, he says, he would rather not talk about that. He tells her they should eat. She goes to wash her hands. While she’s gone, he tries to call Pelin but gets a busy signal. He is able to track where she is (or where her phone is, at least). She is not far from where he and Seyran are. He is preoccupied with what she is up to. He calls Burak (Pelin’s cousin) to see if she is with him. He tells her he’s alone. Ferit asks him if he knows who Pelin is with. Burak looks uncomfortable and tells him it’s not for him to say. Ferit tells him he has been trying to call all morning. Now she has him blocked so he can’t call. He asks Burak again what’s going on. Burak tells him he doesn’t want to speak for his cousin, but if that was her decision, it’s good for both of them.

Episode 43 #1 of 8
“A Tough Decision”

We are outside the yali where Halis is returning from his stay at the hospital. He is being accompanied by Orhan and Fuat and greeted by the staff. Sefika is tearful. Halis stops and tells her not to cry. She tells him everyone was so worried and how glad she is that he is OK. Halis looks well and cheerful. Ferit welcomes him with a broad smile and a respectful kiss to Halis’s hand, followed by a big hug. Seyran also greets him and he pats her head affectionately. Seyran sighs and smiles as he makes his way into his yali.

Upstairs in their attic suite, Seyran and Ferit are playful and happy. While she is in the bathroom, Ferit calls someone back who left a message. I wonder who it is…. There is no answer and Ferit wonders why the person would be so upset that they didn’t answer. He tries again and gets a busy signal. He notices there is a message and listens to it:
Pelin: I’ve done a lot of thinking, and maybe you’re right. We should focus on ourselves. Please don’t make this harder than it is.
Ferit says “Wow” upon hearing this.
Seyran notices that his mood has changed when she comes out of the bathroom and asks what happened. He says it’s nothing. Seyran says he seemed very happy before. She asks if he is upset again. He tells her that it’s because he didn’t use his ticket. Had he done so, he would be on a plane, watching the clouds from his seat. She laughs.
There’s a knock on the door from Latif, who tells Ferit that Halis wants to see Seyran. She says she will go right now. Ferit asks what it’s about. She jokes, saying his grandfather likes her more than him. Ferit laughs at that and says she hasn’t lost her sense of humor. He tells her they know he has nothing to say to his grandson. She tells him he is free to be jealous. She leaves, and he notices how different, more self-assured, she is. He goes back to his phone. He is so used to calling Pelin that it must be different for him to not do so.
Downstairs, Halis is waiting in his living room. Latif shows Seyran in. He tells her to come close and be seated. They both sit. He tells her to look at him; there is no reason to be shy.
Halis: I spoke to your aunt Hatice yesterday. You have nothing to worry about. Your father cannot take you from here whenever he wants to. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t. This is a bit sudden, but he’s having dinner here tonight. I hope there’ll be no hard feelings between us afterward.
Seyran: I really appreciate it.
Halis: No, thank you, daughter, for being honest. Thank you for sticking with your husband despite everything. The promise I made you still holds true. I haven’t forgotten it. If you still want to, you can attend university.
Seyran looks at him and smiles. He tells her that from now on, she will have his support. She thanks him.
Halis continues: But don’t think I’ve forgotten the matter of grandchildren. You’ll find a way to do both, OK?
He tells her there’s no reason for her to be shy. He asks her to tell him how she is feeling.
Seyran: Alright, I will. (She stumbles with the words.). Ferit and I talk about it all the time.
Halis: That’s great news. Have Ferit take you shopping today and buy whatever you like. Consider it a gift from me. I’m rewarding you for all that you’ve done, so I hope you enjoy yourself and have fun.
Seyran tells him she will and thanks him. He tells her very good. Tell Ferit how insistent I am about this. I don’t want to see you two until dinner, know what I mean? She smiles and agrees.
She kisses his hand and leaves.
Halis is beaming, in a very good mood.

Episode 43 #4 of 8
Ferit: What are you talking about? Will you tell me who Pelin is with?
Burak: Ferit, let her go. She’s trying to move on. You should do the same.
Ferit: Burak, if you don’t tell me now who she’s with, I’ll find out myself.
Burak: Don’t do this to yourself, and don’t do it to Pelin. Let her see whomever she wants.
Ferit hangs up on Burak. He gets up and takes his jacket as Seyran comes back to the table.
Seyran: Ferit, is something wrong?
Ferit: Let’s go, Seyran. You coming or not?
She asks what’s up. She isn’t supposed to leave him alone. She asks if something happened to someone.
Ferit: I’m sorry, but I have to see Pelin right now. It’s urgent.
Seyran is surprised at this: You need to see Pelin?
Ferit: Seyran, it’s important. I’ll explain later.
Seyran: This is a joke, right? A bad joke?
Ferit: I’m not joking, and I promise we’ll come back later. We have to leave, Seyran.
She sits down: Do you know how embarrassing this is, Ferit?
Ferit: That doesn’t matter. We have to go. Are you coming or not?
Seyran: Of course not. I’m staying. I’m not going. Look at the situation you’re always putting me in. How can you ask if I want to go with you? Are you really leaving me here to go see Pelin?
Ferit: Yes, I am. But you’re free to do whatever you want, alright?
Ferit heads out of the restaurant. Seyran says: Then leave.
She sits back and looks at their partially eaten meal.
Abidin is outside: Ferit?
Ferit tells him they are leaving. Abidin asks about Seyran: Is she staying?
Ferit tells him she’s not coming and that he is in a hurry.
Abidin: Where are we going and why are we leaving Seyran?
Ferit: To see Pelin. I’ll give you the address. Let’s go.
Abidin tells him not to do this.
Ferit: Come with me if you like, but if not, give me the keys.
Abidin looks around and then gets in the car with Ferit.
Ferit: Nothing’s working today. Everything’s backward.
They drive off.

At their restaurant, Pelin is talking with her date, Serter. He is a friend of Burak, and they are talking about her cousin. She says she can’t picture Burak like that. They are both laughing. He says there is more to the story: We left, but Burak was so drunk and about to pass out. He tells Pelin she should have seen him.
All of a sudden, her face falls as she sees Ferit walk in. Serter notices the change and asks what’s wrong.
Ferit comes swaggering over to their table, wearing his overcoat and shades. He removes the shades. The date stands up and asks him how it’s going. Is there a problem?
Ferit: Not at all. Please sit down.
Pelin asks Serter to do what he asks. He complies.
Ferit glares at Pelin. He tells her to get up, they are leaving.
Ferit leans in: I’m talking to you. Get up now.
Serter is watching this closely and he is not a happy chappy.
Ferit asks that he not make a scene. He tells her he is trying to be nice. He again tells Pelin to get up. They are leaving. Do what I say and come, alright? Please.
Serter stand up, but Ferit pushes his shoulder: I told you to sit down. Do it.
Serter kind of complies.
Ferit: If you try to stand up again, I’ll break your legs, got it?
Serter looks at Pelin. She stands up and says: No.
Ferit look surprised: What? What did you say?
Pelin: No, I’m not coming with you, Ferit. Now go and leave us alone.
Ferit makes a not very nice face, smiles sarcastically, and says: As you wish, Pelin. OK.
Ferit walks off. Pelin is in tears. Serter watches Ferit leave. Their date is in a shambles.
He stands, goes to her and bends to her level to comfort her. He asks if she is OK.

Episode 43 #5 of 8

At the yali, Gulgun is talking to the gardener when Seyran comes walking in, perhaps having taken a taxi. Gulgun sees her and goes to speak with her.
Gulgun: Seyran, weren’t you and Ferit going shopping and out to eat? You’re back so soon.
Seyran tells her she had to come back soon.
Gulgun: Just you? Where’s Ferit?
Seyran: I walked along the shore.
Abidin and Ferit drive in just then.
Gulgun: Why didn’t you come back with Ferit?
Ferit: Nice, you went running to my mom to tell her?
Gulgun: What’s going on? Why’d you return separately?
Seyran: Your son can tell you. (Seyran gives Ferit quite a glare.) Go on, Ferit, tell her. Why did we return separately?
Gulgun: Ferit?
Ferit: It’s not important. (Seyran’s eyes are huge when he says that!)
Seyran: Your mother didn’t ask if it was important. She asked why we returned separately.
Gulgun: What’s happening? This house can’t withstand another situation, so, please tell me.
Seyran: I agree. Go on, Ferit, tell her. If it’s not that important to you, tell her. Tell you mother that you were having lunch with me when Pelin called and you dropped everything to go see her. Tell her. (Actually, Seyran has that wrong. Pelin didn’t call him. He kept dialing Pelin with no answer and then tracked her down. She had blocked his number.)
Gulguni is muy impactada.
Gulgun: Ferit? Is that true?
Ferit: Yes, Mom. I had to go, so I went.
Gulgun: Alright, but don’t argue out here. Resolve it in your room without anyone hearing you. Dinner will be served soon, and I don’t want to see you like this tonight, OK?
Seyran: That’s it? Have you nothing else to say to your son?
Gulgun: Calm down. Let’s talk about this calmly, OK? Settle down and we’ll discuss it later.
Seyran: Wow. I don’t know why I’m surprised. I’d forgotten that you had Pelin over for coffee. She must be very important to your family.
Gulgun: Look, I don’t know what happened, but you should think before you speak. (Looking at Ferit) You should also consider the consequences of your actions.
Seyran: I don’t have the words to tell you how I feel. I thought you’d support me. That you’d see the truth and support me at least this once. Now I don’t know what to think. Is there anything else you’re hiding from me? Is there something else that you’re keeping from me? I’d like to know.
Gulgun: I don’t understand what you mean.
Seyran walks toward the yali. Ferit wants to follow her, but Gulgun stops him: I’m so ashamed of you, Ferit. Why did I work so hard to protect you from everyone else? And for nothing!
Ferit: Mother, you’re overreacting.
Gulgun: A 19-year old girl just taught me a big lesson. What’s more, she’s right. I have nothing to say to defend you.
Ferit: Mother…
Gulgun: I swear I admonish myself every day for raising a spoiled brat like you and I get annoyed with myself. I’m so ashamed, upset, and disappointed, but with myself, not with you. Because I’m nothing but an inept mother who couldn’t’ raise her son properly.
Ferit: Mom, don’t exaggerate.

Episode 42 #6 of 8
Gulgun: Go away, I don’t want to look at you. We’ll talk later. Now go.
Seyran runs up to the attic suite just ahead of Ferit. She locks herself in the bathroom.
Ferit bangs on the door and calls her name several times.
Ferit: Open the door right how, Seyran! She looks at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, tears running down her face.
She finally comes out. Ferit asks her if she is happy now. That she complained about him not only to Halis but to his mother.
Seyran: I should have done much more. You can’t wait till after something’s happened to think of the consequences, Ferit.c You should have thought of what would happen before leaving me alone and deciding to go with Pelin.
Ferit: I told you it was important. cWas it that hard to understand? I told you I had to go.
Seyran: Great, it was important, which you explained to your mother. It’s fine.
Ferit: Why are you behaving like this? What’s your problem? You’re acting crazy.
Seyran: I’m acting crazy? I am? Look at yourself. You’re even worse. I’d call you a dog, but that would be an insult to dogs. I just wanted to sit and have lunch with you, but you cast all that aside. How dare you do this to me, Ferit?
Ferit: I will always do whatever I want and none of that is your business. You need to understand that.
Sey ran: It’s not? Fine. Very well, if you want me to stay out of it, you’ll have to deal with the consequences. I’m going to tell your grandfather and mother whatever I want, got it, Ferit? You can’t tell me what I can and can’t do, you hear me? I really don’t get it. If Pelin is your girlfriend and you love her so much, why didn’t you tell your grandfather that you wanted to marry her instread? Why not? Didn’t you have the guts?
Ferit: You’re going too far, Seyran. Calm down, will you?
Seyran: I’m going too far? I am? That’s enough. I’m not your plaything. “Come Seyran,” “Leave, Seyran,” “Eat, Seyran,” ”Stay, but I’m leaving, Seyran.” Stop it. Who are you to put me in this situation? Who do you think you are? You don’t know anything! You’re just a spoiled brat! I am so over this. I’m done putting up with it. I will not allow this anymore. Come to your senses right now and know your place. You will never disrespect me again, got it? I don’t want you seeing Pelin again. It’s over.
Ferit: Mind your own business, Seyran!
Seyran: Don’t yell at me!
Ferit: Then don’t tell me what to do! Who do you think you are, Seyran? Pelin’s been my girlfriend for years and you know it. Don’t act like that’s new to you. You think I’d ask you for permission to be with her? What can you do? What can you do besides accept it? I don’t have the patience for you.
Seyran: Sometimes I think you’re a good person, but that’s my fault. And then I feel sorry. Sorry for myself.
She walks toward the patio.
Ferit: Exactly, Seyran. You said it. This is all your fault. Don’t demand that I be someone I’m not. Don’t expect anything from me, got it?
She stares at him a bit: I wish you hadn’t come back. I wish I hadn’t tried to stop you from leaving the country. You should have gone to New York. But you couldn’t even do that. I would have been thrilled to be rid of you and this house.

Episode 43 # 7 of 8
Ferit: Mmm, hmm. You can still be rid of us, Seyran. You can go back to your father’s house. You’ve got your own chauffer. Your stupid boyfriend can take your wherever you like. Isn’t that what you wanted? Look, there are your clothes. The door too. Leave. Go on, get out of here. Who do you think you are, Seyran? Did you really think that a kiss would deceive me? Did you think I’d die to be with you and act like I was in love? The only person that works on is that little creampuff (Spanish is “Pajarito”). He’s the only one who’d fall for it. You’re good at this game, so it wouldn’t be fair to blame him for anything. Who knows how many others you’ve deceived like that. In the end, Yusuf was just the tip of the iceberg, wasn’t he?
Both of them are crying by now, saying such hateful things. It’s clear that they are both wounded from this argument.
Seyran nods and goes on to the patio, wounded and crying. Her lovely day, the gift from Halis, has disappeared in flames. She cries on the balcony, and Ferit is watching from inside the room and then leaves.

That evening, the table is being carefully set for dinner. Outside, Yusuf drives up with Kazim. Kazim straightens his collar, which he sometimes does before “battle.” Orhan is outside waiting for him and welcomes him cordially. They go inside.

Upstairs Ferit is waiting and Seyran comes out of the bathroom dressed for dinner. She walks past him without a word and heads out and down the stairs. When she reaches the second floor Ferit calls her name. He asks her to wait, please, and says they should behave themselves.
Ferit: Your father’s here and so is my grandfather. Let’s act like everything’s fine between us.
Seyran: They can know that it’s not. I don’t care.
Ferit grabs her arm: Seyran. Your father is here.
Seyran: You think you can use my father again to scare me? I’m telling you that I’m not scared. I don’t care at all, Ferit.
Ferit: I know, and I get it, but calm down, Seyran. I’m really not trying to scare you. But my grandfather just got back from the hospital. That’s the only reason I’m asking.
Seyran pats his shoulder: I’m so glad that you know what you have to do. You should have thought of that earlier. Before, not after you already did it, Ferit. You should’ve thought of this earlier.
Seyran walks away and Ferit looks impactado.

At the dinner table, Halis is happy and making pronouncements about life: Life is like a path. It’s got a clear beginning and an uncertain end. But you can’t stop or ever go back. You must always walk till the very end. Sometimes you encounter flowers, other times, rocks. Sometimes the sky is clear, other times, there’s fog. But what’s most important is finding someone with whom to walk that path. (Ferit looks at Seyran.) We took a step toward bringing these two together on that path. When they encountered their first obstacle, it wouldn’t have been right for them to veer away from this uncertain path. We should have no hard feelings. We should forgive and try to be happy. And let them show their respect. Please forgive them, Kazim.
Kazim’s face is still hardened in a frown. He stares daggers at Ferit.
Kazim: Aga, Halis Aga (Kazim makes the “no” gesture with his mouth), my decision has not changed.

Episode 43 #8 of 8
Seyran looks at him, surprised. Halis’s smile has faded.
Kazim: No, an elegant speech is not enough to change it. We spoke like Agas, man-to-man, but you disregarded what we discussed and went to my aunt. Since when are women involved in these decisions, Aga? Since when? You can‘t do this to me. It isn’t right. No, I came here to respect your invitation, but my decision remains unchanged. I am taking my daughter and leaving. (Kazim uses his arm to emphasize this, holding his beads.)
Orhan: What are you saying Kazim? You’re disrespecting us.
Kazim: Sir, you should teach what you call “respect” to your son first. Not to me. He knows nothing about respect. Further, he is trampling your honor, and it is he who disrespects you. Don’t try to teach me something that you yourself nor your son know nothing about.
Halis: That’s enough. Enough! As far as Ms. Hattuc, we spoke with decency. If you refuse to understand, you may leave now.
Kazim is impactado at hearing this,
Halis: But nobody here is taking my daughter-in-law by force.
They have a staring contest. Everyone is watching them closely.
Halis: Let’s ask your daughter. It should be her decision (Ferit turns to look at Seyran) whether she stays here with her husband or would rather leave this house with you right now.
Kazim: Very well. Let’s find out, my Aga. She’s right here. Ask her.
Halis: Seyran, dear, the decision is yours. You have nothing to fear. We are here to support you.
Ferit looks at Seyran in alarm. Kazim looks at her, face twitching. Ferit tries to hold her hand, which she immediately snatches back.
Seyran starts to speak: (long pause here as she considers her options) I will respect my father’s decision. His decision is my decision.
Kazim lifts his head with pride. Ferit’s lips are pressed together, showing his anger.
Seyran: I’m in agreement with him.

The proud face of Kazim ends this episode.
