Man on Pause (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

A NETFLIX SERIES

I always wanted to make it big.

I thought the more money I had,
the happier I'd become but...

but that never happened.

When we bought that house,
my wife was pregnant with our kids.

We were both so young
and we needed money to raise the kids.

I did everything I shouldn't have,

but I still managed
to make money off of it.

And she...
She gave me two beautiful daughters.

- God bless them.
- God bless.

Yeah, right.



So when we bought that house,
I thought that would make us very happy,

but that never happened.

And that was my own fault, honestly.

My wife taught archery
and I was very interested in archery.

All right.

Hey, bring me some more whiskey!

This is gonna take forever.

You can go inside
if you don't wanna hear this.

Why are you dragging this out?

What's it to you?

I'm telling them
how I feel about that place.

What's it to you?

You're just selling a house, Timuçin.

Just say yes and be done with it.



Stop annoying everyone.

Am I annoying?

Oh, no. No, not at all.

Please go on.

You see?

Well, what do you
expect them to say, Mahmut Timuçin?

You think they'll say, "Yeah, you're
annoying the hell out of me"?

I found myself a Russian broad
to be free of Turkish women's nagging,

forgive me, ma'am,

and it turns out
they're actually even worse.

They are very much like us, for sure.

Go on. Go on, please.

- Şahinde...
- Ugh, I'm going inside.

She was a good teacher.

Like I said,
I was very interested in archery.

So that's where we met.

What I'm saying is,
why do people try so hard to make money?

Huh?

For happiness, something I couldn't find.

Then I found that lunatic back there

hoping she'd make me happy.

But that failed too.

Maybe this house will bring you happiness.

Well, we are really
in love with the place.

It's our dream house.

I have a daughter and a son,

they send their best,

and they love the house as well.

So we believe
that the house will bring us happiness.

Do I know you, by any chance?

Sorry?

I feel like I've met you before.

I've never seen you, but...

Whatever.

Money's not important.
We'll figure something out.

I heard that you
had a cabin up in the mountains

that you were trying to sell.
Is that right?

Yes, any day now, thank God.

The buyers are lined up.

We thought it'd be taken care of by now,
but our realtor passed away.

My condolences to you.

Oh, we didn't know him.

And where is it?

Uh, what?

The house.

- Oh, uh, you know the restaurant Manzara?
- Yes.

There's a narrow path going up next to it.

- Yes?
- Our house is at the end of the road.

There's a statue
of a boy peeing at the front door.

Okay, got it.

- Good day to you.
- Uh, good day to you.

Good day to you too.

Nice guy, right?

Very nice guy.

How do we get back?

Well, sure. Yeah, of course.

Well, my advice to you
is to get things moving faster.

I mean, I can only stall
the other buyers for so long and...

Honestly, I'd prefer you to buy it.

I mean... Uh-huh. Well, sure.

Well, it's at least five degrees cooler
than downtown Marmaris.

So it's nice and cool and...

And you think about global warming
and what are the scientists saying?

Earth will be two to three degrees warmer

and the icebergs will melt
and the sea levels will rise,

and maybe one day,

you can dock your boat
in front of your mountain lodge, right?

Who can say what's possible?
Yeah, all right. Well, I'll talk to you.

Keep me updated. Bye-bye.

I want them to pick up the pace, Meryem.

I need boxes.

I'll start packing
everything right away, Yusuf.

So don't throw away any boxes,
you hear me?

You got it.

I'm getting really excited, Meryem.

Can you imagine?

I'm gonna swim in the sea,
have orange juice while I'm still wet

and then go take a nice, long shower.

It's gonna be amazing.

Velihan!

Akya, where are you?

- Sister's not here.
- What are you doing home at this time?

The teacher didn't come, so I'm home.

- Is someone upstairs?
- No. What are you talking about?

Get out of my way right now.

Son, who the hell is this?
How old are you, my dear?

Meryem, calm down, please.
We were just doing our homework.

Yes, Mother. Just homework.

I wasn't born yesterday, kids.
Who do you think you're talking to?

No, ma'am. No. We may be young,
but our dreams and ambitions are big.

Yeah, Mom.
We decided to grow our business.

What? Don't get me
started on your business.

Where are your parents?

I don't think we can have a healthy
conversation in your current state.

So after you calm down,
maybe we'll have a rational discussion.

Really? You know, if you were my daughter,

I'd rip out your tongue
for talking back to me like that.

Mm-hmm. I rest my case.

- You heard her. She rests her case.
- Get out of here. Go.

Mom, I beg you,
would you please calm down?

I'll deal with you later.
Just wait. Get out.

- I'll come with you, Sila.
- You're not going anywhere.

- You get out.
- Um, Meryem, it was very nice meeting you.

I wish it wasn't like this
because I was curious...

I don't wanna hear a single word about it.

Um, I...
I forgot a couple things upstairs.

Oh, my Lord,
help me be patient with these kids.

Son, what do you have there?
Show me!

Uh, Veli, you're actually coming with me.

- No, Veli's staying here.
- Veli's coming with me.

- No, ma'am, he's not going anywhere.
- Veli.

Son.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

What the hell did I do to deserve this?

I'll rip you a new one!

For the last time, did you
or did you not show your boobs to Ferit?

- I swear, she didn't do anything!
- Answer me!

- Akya, I swear I didn't do it.
- Then why is everybody saying you did?

Maybe people don't want us to be friends.
How the hell should I know?

I swear it didn't happen.

- Stay out of this, damn it!
- I'm begging you. Please believe me.

- You're supposed to be my best friend.
- I am. I would die for you.

I wouldn't be upset
if it was someone else.

You're my best friend. How can I trust
anyone when my best friend would do this?

Please let me give you a hug.

- Did you do it?
- I swear on my life I didn't.

All right. Hug me.

Akya, you know you can always trust me.

I was so scared, Bensu. So scared.

- I was scared too.
- I'm so glad the two of you have made up.

Then who the hell showed you their boobs?

I swear,
I've never seen boobs before in my life.

Then tell me who the hell
is spreading this rumor? Who?

PADDED BRAS SOLD HERE

Excuse me.

Anybody here?

Ah, shit.

Hello?

Uh, coming.

What's up?

Oh, I'm good.

Just making some changes
here and there, you know. And you?

Well, I was concerned about
everything that happened the other night.

Oh.

- That's okay.
- But you're all right, though, aren't you?

yeah. Yeah, I got home safe and sound.

No worries.

That's a relief.

Well, I'm actually here
'cause I wanted to pay you.

Oh, that's okay. Don't worry about it.

Oh, no, please. It was quite a few pieces.

Um...

Yeah, I'll figure out how much it was.

Right.

Well, uh, I left the shop in a hurry,

so I don't remember
exactly what I took with me.

Well, it was a lovely evening.

I mean, except for the finale, of course.

Well, to be honest,

I think 500 would cover it because
I can't say that I remember it all.

That's impossible.
Please, you brought a lot of pieces.

No, it's fine.
We can settle it later somehow.

How, then?

How what?

How do we settle it?

Uh...

Uh, I mean, when you buy
other things from me later, you know?

Oh.

Um, credit card work for you?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you very much.

Wanna get out and do something?

Uh, PIN number.

Huh?

Uh...

It's approved.

Come on, give yourself a break.

Don't let your soul linger in darkness.

Open the windows. Let some air inside.

Uh, thank you so much.

What are you thinking?

Look, um...

I have a family and I have two kids.

And I enjoy my life with my family.

Please don't get me wrong.

You're a very pretty girl
and I'm extremely attracted to you,

but I can't keep secrets from my family.

I... I'm really sorry.
I hope you understand.

Okay?

Enough!

Going into turbo mode! Turbo!

- Hey, stop!
- Turbo!

Turbo!

Wait, where are you going?

To the shop.

We just got here.

Look, what did you say?

That it was hot.
We should take a dip and cool off, right?

We took a dip and cooled off.
What else is there to do?

So that's it?

But I thought
we could hang out a little more.

- I have things to do.
- What things? Please don't leave.

- Come on!
- You can keep the fun going by yourself.

What do you expect me
to do here all by myself?

Look, this has already gone too far
and I don't want things to go any further.

I told you, I have children.

Well, okay, stop repeating yourself.

You act like I'm saying,
"Let's get married and have children."

All I care about is having fun.
Don't you see that?

And instead of sitting alone at home, I'm
here with you. What's so wrong with that?

You already took your dip.

At least wait
until our swimsuits are dry. Please?

Phone. The phone!

- The phone is ringing.
- Hey, it's just a call. Chill.

Meryem.

Meryem. Meryem can feel it.

She can feel the shit I'm doing here.
What am I gonna do? I'm screwed!

- What will I tell my wife?
- Hey, just calm down.

Why are you panicking?
Tell her it was hot and you took a dip.

- What's wrong with that?
- This marriage is over. All done.

Do you know what this will do to me?

My family won't talk to me
because there are secrets now. I'm fucked.

Please stop! Please. Please calm down.

Did we even do anything bad?

- No.
- You literally haven't even held my hand.

So what's the big deal?

- Right. We've done nothing wrong.
- We've done nothing wrong.

Please. Calm down
and answer the phone, okay?

Tell her it was so hot that
you went for a dip to cool off. Got it?

I can do that.

- Take a deep breath.
- Yeah.

Hello.

Where are you, Yusuf?

- I'm at the store, honey.
- Ugh.

- You're at the store?
- Of course I'm at the store.

Where else would I be?
You think I'm lying?

- Why would I do that, Meryem?
- All right, stop yelling.

What do you mean?
I'm not yelling at you, Meryem.

I... I have a ton of things to do

and you're talking like
I'm out having fun at the beach.

- How could you say that?
- I can't believe it.

The guy who wants
to buy the lodge is at the store.

He says it's closed. He called you.
You didn't answer. So he called me.

He's at the store right now?

I mean...
and I'm not at the store, huh?

Ask him, then.
Why does he think I'm not at the store?

I mean, that's totally ridiculous.

That's what I'm asking you. Where are you?

I'm, uh...

I'm busy looking for boxes
for the new house, my love.

Okay, my darling.

The man's
waiting for you outside the store.

Okay, um, well, then I'll be right over.

- I love you.
- I love you too, my darling.

Love you so much.

I have to go.

Fine. But at least
give me a ride downtown.

Look, this has already gone way too far,
you know.

This is a small town.
Someone could see us.

Please, don't push me any further.

I'm a married man.

And I have two children.

Do you know Climates?

- What?
- Climates. It's a movie.

Never heard of it.

In the movie, they're riding a scooter
just like this one.

Then the girl covers the guy's eyes
while he's driving.

Should I do it to you, just like them?

- Do what exactly?
- Should I cover your eyes?

- Why?
- 'Cause it's gonna be like the movie.

And I'm asking you, why would you do that?

Are you stupid? I'm saying,
do you want me to do it like in the movie?

And I'm telling you, if you cover my eyes,
we'll fall off and die.

Actually,
they do fall off in the movie too.

Okay, that's weird.

- I... I still don't get it.
- Yeah, I don't get it either.

Well, at least we know where the guy is.

He's a shop owner.

He's got a place
called Yusuf's Haberdashery.

I think he's a trustworthy guy.
I don't know.

Well, of course we should go
and check out the place.

Then we'll decide.

I think we still have a bit more to go.

I don't know. It's a winding road.

So many bends. I'm feeling nauseous...

We can go up there
and we can stay for six months...

Oh, no, look at this!

But we could, you know,
do some renovations.

No, I don't like it. The stairs.
I mean, look at these stairs.

They're all rusty.

This is not good.

Are you nuts?

You want me to throw you down?

Serves 'em right.

What a dumb thing to do.

Sleep tight.

Give yourself a break.

Don't let your soul linger in darkness.

Open the windows. Let some air inside.

Wake up.

It's morning.

Come on, wake up.

Were you dreaming, my darling?

Why would I be?

What?

1 MONTH LATER

- Fadime.
- Mm.

What do you think of this one?

- Hmm... It's for the yard, right?
- Yeah, because we'll use the yard a lot.

We'll spend most of our time in the yard.

Sit in it and see if it's comfortable.

Feels good.

Come sit with me.

And?

It's fine.

Comfortable.

I don't know.

Well?

Do you have any updates?

No.

- To hell with him.
- No. No.

I mean the paraglider. What was his name?

Oh, you mean Yamaç?

- His name is Yamaç?
- Mm-hmm. To hell with him too, you know.

What happened to him?

Scared bastard.

When he saw my face, he said
he couldn't deal with a guy like Halit.

Can you believe this?

He said, "Love is like a safe haven
and this place is a haunted house."

- Then he fucking left.
- Where to?

No idea. He left Marmaris scared of Halit.

Let me tell you something, Fadime.

It's good that the baby thing didn't
work out or you'd be in big trouble.

I wanted to have a kid so bad, Meryem.

I was so happy that I missed my period.

Let it go.
It was for the best none of it happened.

Were you
going to raise it without a father?

He's not around, is he?

No. He can just go burn in hell.

He's not even going to the showroom.

- Did he call you?
- No. I hope he won't.

- You okay?
- I don't know.

I'm okay, Fadime.

I don't want to brag,
but we're doing okay.

I think the house
has been good for us so far.

Men are the enemies of happiness.
Just remember that.

In your happiest moment, they'll always go
behind your back. So watch out.

No, Yusuf is not like that.

Oh, no.
My brother is different in that way.

- Though, you know about his past...
- All right, point taken.

Let's not go into that right now.

Oh, I think this set is nice.
I think we should buy it. Yeah?

Yusuf is acting a bit strange.

Where the fuck is your boss?

- Halit, you mean?
- Yup.

I'm afraid he's not in.

- If you have a message for him...
- Where's his office?

Right over there.

Hey, ma'am. Ma'am, wait a second.

Halit hasn't been
to the showroom for a month.

- I can give him a message.
- Where the hell has he been?

We don't know. His phone's been off.

If he calls,
tell him Şahinde's looking for him.

And if he asks who Şahinde is,
it's the woman he fucked.

It's outrageous!

Tell him he can't just fuck a woman
and then leave her high and dry.

- Am I crazy?
- No, you're right.

Save it!

You fucking rat bastards.
You're all fucking rat bastards.

You should know better.

All of you should know better!

Screw you all.

The person
you are trying to reach is not available.

Who the fuck is that dim twat?

Do you want me to release this?

You picked
the middle of the road to have a drink?

Lucky no one kicked your ass.

What happened to your hands?

You in a fight?

I...

made a mistake.

A big mistake.

What was it?

I beat my wife.

She begged me not to do it,

but I did it anyway.

I am total scum.

She was pregnant.

Not from you?

- Mm-mmm.
- She has a lover.

Nasty business.
But I don't think you're different.

I'm not?

I think I'm less than shit.

I'm a disgusting man.

Well, you need to stop
dwelling on all that shit.

Music might help. Want to?

Sure.

Local music or foreign?

Whatever you want. You pick.

Well, local is too sentimental.

Let's go foreign.

Yeah, local's better.

Yeah, it's good.

Then I'll send it.

God, no. Don't send it to anyone.

You know how crazy Dad can get, Ahu.

Think about the man, if not yourself.

Remember what he did to the last one?

I'm not doing anything.

The guy hasn't even touched me yet.

And what?
I can't even flirt with someone now?

What's the big deal?

The guy's married. He's got two kids.

Isn't that enough for you?

Don't you think I have some integrity?

I don't, honestly.

I sent it.

Great. It's your funeral.

For me, organic fabric should be white

because the most
natural material is cotton.

When people see white,
they think of purity and cleanliness.

Based off that,
I imagine a whole store in white.

Here are the images.

Right. But you must think of the cost...

Veli and I have worked a lot on the logo
and I think it's very cool. I'll show you.

It looks great. It's got a lot of pizzazz.

Yeah, I think it's great,

but from my point of view,
the money invested is...

If it's alright, I'd love to show you
some additional logo options.

All right. So nice, indeed.

Great. Really great.
Well done. Good job, guys.

Pardon me.

Of course.

Right. So, uh, where was I?

Uh, money, right?

We certainly
need to figure out the cost, Miss Sila.

- That's just great.
- Exactly, Mr. Veli.

If we could arrange a meeting after
receiving cost reports, that'd be great.

We can keep clearing out the store.

And, with your approval, our people
will start working on the renovations.

Uh, all right. I mean, um, like I said,

I mean, we already talked about
the most important thing for me

and we'll see about that.

- And the other thing.
- Exactly. See you.

See you, girls... Uh, kids.
Take care of yourselves.

That was great. Just great!

Our first job together
and we just killed it!

You know, the world of business
can really blow your mind.

Should we go get a beer?

We're only 15.

Right. Oh, maybe some ice cream then?

Okay.

I'm in big trouble.

Do you love me?

No, Yusuf.

Come on, say it.

What do you think he'll say?
I'm curious.

Do you think
he'll say he's married?

Or do you think
he'll go crazy and say he loves me too?

We'll get in trouble. It'll be terrible
if Dad finds out about this.

Ugh, forget about Dad.
What's he gonna say back?

Hello, honey.

Hello, my baby girl, how are you?

I miss you very, very much, too.

Please wait just a little bit more.
We will see each other soon, I promise.

Mommy has such a great surprise for you.

Boris?

Honey, I have to go.

Tell him I will call you guys later.

I love you very, very much.

- Who's the man?
- Dad, don't be silly.

For the last time,
who have you been texting?

I swear to God, Dad.
I promise I'm not texting anyone.

- Don't lie. Give me your phone.
- Don't you trust your daughter?

- Give me your phone!
- Enough, Mahmut.

She said she's not.
You don't want problems on a holy night.

Why do you care? How do you
even know about our holy nights?

Don't say that, my love.
Last year, I even fasted a bit.

- You're not Muslim. Why would you fast?
- I'm religious.

- So?
- It's a holy night.

Why the hell
would you care about that?

Don't laugh or change the subject.
Gimme the phone.

- It's a holy night.
- Stop with the holy nights!

I swear, whoever told you those things,
it's not true. Just trust us.

Asu, stay out of this.
I'm going to check your phone.

I may be a Christian,
but I still know Noah's pud.

Noah's pudding!

The dish you make
is called Noah's pudding.

Pud is what you're chasing after.

That was rude.

Watch your words...
with your mother.

That pud-chaser
is not my mother. Remember that.

Ahu, I'm gonna kill you.

Don't ever forget, we have a mother too.

- Stay out of it. Gimme your phone.
- You want it?

Yeah, I do. Now, give it to me.

And you'll apologize then
if you can't find anything?

I will. Give me the phone now.

I don't know what's so bad about texting.

It's not like
I'm leaving my wife and kids,

so what the heck's the big deal?

It's just a damn text.

It's not that big of a deal.

Texting her.

I LOVE YOU...

I'LL FUCK YOU TOO

WHO ARE YOU

What the hell does that mean?

What the hell's going on?

What's that supposed to mean?

What the hell?

Dad, this is the estimate.

If you approve it,
we should start the renovations tonight.

Yusuf, we need a lot more boxes...

What's going on?
Yusuf, what are you doing?

Are you okay, Yusuf?

I'm gonna find that dickhead.

Wait, I'm coming too.

Didn't you say you deleted the texts?

I mean, I... I swear, I deleted them.

I mean, I guess
that fucking idiot texted me again.

Oh, God.

You and I will talk later.

We forgot the gun.

I'll put an arrow
in that dick's ass, you hear me?

- Hello?
- Yeah. Hello. What's happening?

You tell me what's happening.

It's my dad. My dad knows everything.

He saw your texts. You need to lay low.

- Things could get ugly.
- What do you mean, things might get ugly?

What happened? Why do I have to lay low?

Oh, you fucking moron, Yusuf.

You rushed headfirst into trouble.

Yusuf, you fucking moron.

He owns Yusuf's Haberdashery.

It's a place downtown.

So I'm just gonna put it in here.

- Hello?
- Where are you?

- I'm in the store.
- Get out right now.

My dad knows about the store.
He's probably on his way!

Let him come then.

What do you expect me to do?
Tell your dad I'm not afraid of him.

Listen to me.
You need to close the store right now!

Ah, let him come.

Bring it on.

Look.

It found him. Look, look. Look at the guy.
See how he's looking at it like a moron?

I had no idea that this thing
would end up being so useful.

Look, look, look.
See how he's looking at it?

Isn't he the guy who...

Yeah, I feel like
I know this guy from somewhere.

It's the guy who wants to buy your house!

Oh, it's him.

The drone's got you now, dickhead.

You have nowhere to run!

Hey!

That son of bitch just smashed the drone.
I'm gonna fucking kill this guy!

I don't understand

why you have to go
to the mountain lodge this late, Yusuf.

Things have gotten complicated, Meryem.

I mean, honestly, I should have known
that it would come to something like this.

I hope God smites me.

I hope he kills me.

You're scaring me, Yusuf.

Tell me what happened.

I...

I messed up, Meryem.

I'm afraid
I did something without asking you.

But it wasn't my fault, you know?

I was seduced, okay?

Hey, try not to cry, please.

I'm not crying.
I have the flu and I just sniffled.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I fell for a girl.

What?

Actually, she fell for me.

I mean, I told her over and over again.

I said to her,
"Look, I'm... I have kids and a wife."

But she didn't stop coming on to me.
She didn't listen to me.

Yusuf, what are you telling me?

Is there someone else in your life?

Please, I swear to you, Meryem,

there is no one else.

So?

I swear on my life that I didn't even
do so much as touch that girl's hand.

I swear on my life!

So?

Well, her father's been
chasing me with a drone.

A what?

A drone. Drone.

What's a drone?

Drone! One of those
flying things with a camera.

He tried to chase me with that,
but I smashed it, so don't worry.

I mean, that guy isn't messing around.

He's nothing but trouble.

And before I knew it,
he was coming after me.

Um, he said that he'd kill me and all.

I mean, really... It's a total mess
and I had to get outta there.

So I hopped on the bike
and I'm on my way to the mountain lodge.

But I didn't do anything wrong.

Believe me, please.
I swear. I didn't do anything.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Listen, Meryem.

Either divorce me

or please help me, Meryem.

Meryem.
