Between the World and Us (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Ilkin tries everything she knows to save her relationship before making an extraordinary decision.
Tolga Karanç, the
star of the Black Heart series,
which broke rating records for two
years in a row, has just arrived.
Celebrities
have started to arrive
at this year's 18th annual
Crystal DNF TV Awards.
Big names from the TV
series are posing on the red carpet.
Let's see which TV series will
take home awards this year.
It narrowly
lost the award last year.
- Let's see what happens this year.
- Tolga!
Mr. Tolga,
a selfie, please.
Thank you so much.
- Mr. Tolga, can you pose for us?
- The crowd's getting loud.
You said in your interview
that you were waiting for someone?
Will the person
in question be here tonight?
Is the person in question
an actor like you?
Sir, who is this
mysterious woman?
How do you
know when a love is over?
How can you be sure
that it's time to leave?
I learned this the hard way.
İlkin Gönen, the
editor-in-chief of Maquette magazine,
has arrived at the ceremony.
İlkin Gönen will obviously
be talked about a lot this year,
with her beauty and her
gorgeous white dress.
Your
outfit looks amazing!
Because I was sure. It
was him, the love of my life.
Ms.
Burcu, a photo, please.
Ms. İlkin, can we
get a few words about tonight?
Ms. İlkin, don't
you have a date?
If it were today,
I would say to myself…
everyone forgets everyone,
İlkin. Forgetting is a blessing.
I didn't know.
Between the World and Us
Chapter One "İlkin & Tolga"
It
was a great night.
Everyone who deserved it
got their awards tonight.
- Things are starting to wrap up now.
- Can I grab a tea, please?
We will
end the night here.
Hope to see you at next year's
award ceremonies. Goodbye.
- Hello?
- They've left the crowd.
It's just the two
of them. Get going!
Bon appétit.
GREENPARK
Oh, fuck.
Tolga, they're taking photos!
Good for you!
Who is this woman? She looks
familiar. Did you get her name?
Her name's İlkin…
I could threaten you right now,
get you fired,
make your life miserable.
But I won't do it.
I'll be honest with you.
Right now you think you have
the opportunity of a lifetime.
Wrong.
I'm the one who's got the
opportunity of a lifetime.
I found the love of my life.
I thought this only
happened in fairy tales.
It happens to be real.
So sell those
photos if you want.
Write about what you
heard, I don't care.
But if she gets upset just once,
if she sheds one tear…
- then I will…
- Dude…
4 years later
The remote doesn't work,
you said you'd get it fixed.
- Huh?
- I said the remote, the TV remote.
You said you would handle
it. It's been two weeks…
Tolga, is what you
are looking at urgent?
Not really. They wrote stupid comments
under the photo. I'm deleting them.
What does it matter?
You give too much importance
to people you don't know.
Okay, you don't care about it.
We're fake and pathetic.
You are perfect.
Like you don't care
about your social media…
- Where are you going?
- Pfft.
- What "Pfft"?
- I won't open my mouth anymore.
- I won't talk to you about anything.
- İlkin!
You always do the same thing.
You leave while I'm talking.
You're not talking,
you're complaining.
What do you mean?
What's up with you?
I tell you to see me, hear me.
I'm supposed to be your girlfriend,
but you treat me like a stranger.
İlkin, I already see you.
- Really?
- Yes.
Tell me then, what am I wearing?
What do you mean?
You've got a robe on.
Mm-hmm, a robe. Good answer.
That's exactly what you'll see all night.
Because you aren't going to
see what's underneath it.
So today we're arguing
because of a robe? Is that it?
- Of course not, Tolga!
- Then what?
You don't talk to me!
- You don't look up from your phone.
- Why the phone…
I know you're fed up with something.
You don't tell me anything.
Why? Why don't you tell
me what's bothering you?
Because you wouldn't understand!
My problems may seem
absurd to your classy life.
What's that supposed to mean?
How many times have you watched my
show? It's been four seasons, four!
I don't watch things like that.
Things like that.
Tolga, I don't watch TV,
you know that very well.
That's beside the point. See
me, hear me, that's what I want.
Tell me your problems.
You're changing the subject.
- Okay.
- Tolga what are you doing? Leave me alone!
- No, wait a minute!
- What are you doing?
- You say I can't see, let me take a look!
- What is wrong with you?
I'm tired of being told that I
should be happy with what I've got.
Constantly.
"When one is in love, one
always begins by deceiving one's self,
and ends by deceiving others. That
is what the world calls a romance."
That's what Oscar Wilde said.
We found each other
among 15 million people.
But lost each other
in the same house.
Hey! What's the problem?
What's wrong with you two?
We can't communicate.
- What do you think, is this it?
- Yes, definitely.
- This one is perfect.
- Okay.
I took a few shots. Take a look.
Okay. Come on, let's see.
So it seems like everything
is going well in his life.
Thanks.
But actually it's not like that.
- Excuse me.
- Mm-hmm.
Isn't this… Isn't
this too straight on?
- Huh?
- Mm-hmm.
- Can you turn her diagonally?
- Okay.
No, this way. Wait a
minute. I'm coming.
Can you
widen your movement? Yes.
- How's this?
- That's great, let's fix the hair.
Very good, very good.
Meanwhile, he's using
work as an excuse.
He's definitely hiding something.
And he never shares with me.
Haven't you been together
for a thousand years?
Don't you talk at
all? Ridiculous!
We're talking
for the sake of talking.
He's not sharing anything
about himself with me.
I know there's a void inside
Tolga, but I can't fill it.
Why doesn't he leave, then?
Listen, when was the last
time you two made love, huh?
Tell me, girl, it's important. When?
About two weeks ago, I guess.
What?
Two weeks ago, Burçin.
What? Two weeks?
What the fuck is that?
If a man doesn't touch me for two weeks,
I'll throw him out the front door.
- Are you not attracted to him?
- It's not that.
So, you're very unhappy.
Do we only love someone when
we're happy, Burçin? Huh?
Two weeks? That
asshole can fuck off.
I really don't get it.
If you're unhappy, leave. He can
leave on the horse he rode in on.
- How was the shoot?
- Fantastic!
Of course.
What have you done?
I added some notes
to your email.
- Take a look and send it to me.
- Of course.
I've invested four years
in this relationship.
Is breaking up that easy?
Look at me. You can't bring
yourself to end it? Huh?
Does it feel like you're
a loser, a failure?
Ah! Ah, so funny!
- Are you afraid of breaking up?
- Let me ask you something.
Mmm?
Did I tell you how we met?
Hmm.
Yes! They said there
was a party, so we came.
Hey, guys, make
yourself at home!
Tolga.
İlkin.
İlkin?
Bro, come
here. Don't bother her.
Come here.
- Come on. Leave people alone.
- Hmm. Okay. Okay.
I was saying
Art Basel Miami, darling.
Frieze London, if it's
going to be an art trip,
we'll just skip to
these two, right?
Yes, yes,
it definitely is.
Looks like someone
was bored inside.
I'm getting some air.
It's freezing.
Don't catch a cold.
What are you going to
do, give me your jacket?
Would you like it?
I prefer to wear my
boyfriend's jacket.
If I'm making you
uncomfortable, I can go.
I'll get lost. You'll
never see me again.
There's something missing.
- I beg your pardon?
- There's something missing.
I'm going to take your photo,
but there's something missing.
Who said I'd let you?
You'll thank me later.
- Really?
- Really.
Why's that?
Because we'll
remember this moment.
Yes! I've got it! Don't move.
Ready.
I'd better go inside.
The most daring person
I'd ever seen in my life.
And the most impressive.
The heat was intense.
No one had ever swept me off my
feet like that in my entire life.
I want that Tolga back.
Wait a sec, you skipped something. What
he said in your ear, you skipped it.
What difference does it make?
He's not the same man anymore.
It's like his passion is gone,
it's been like this for months.
He has a problem, I'm sure,
but he doesn't talk to me.
So, let someone else talk to him, huh?
Sometimes it happens, we can't
open up to our closest friend,
then we go to someone
we don't know,
get verbal diarrhea and
talk about everything.
I do this a lot. I always
do this.
Oh, fuck!
Girl, I got it!
I swear I got it!
Ha! Gee, I found it!
Where's my phone?
Look, fake accounts are
being sold on social media.
Buy one of them, write to him constantly,
you make him talk about everything.
But with a different identity! Don't
be an idiot and use your own name.
- Oh, don't be ridiculous, Burçin.
- Yeah.
What are you laughing at?
Everyone has a fake account.
Of course.
You buy them.
They're ready-made!
Here. Here. Take a look.
- For sale?
- Yes, take a look.
Look at these, they're all fake.
- Look. Look.
- All of them?
Yes! He'll tell everything
to one of these.
Look, what's this?
Let's click on this one.
Whee!
Welcome, Mr. Tolga.
Hi, İsmet.
I couldn't find a
spot. You can find one.
Okay, Mr. Tolga.
Mr. Tolga, hello.
Can we get a picture?
- We love you so much.
- Hello.
Excuse me. Mr. Tolga
needs to get to the set.
- Are these the contest winners?
- Yes, Mr. Tolga.
- Of course we can take some pictures.
- Good to see you. That's wonderful.
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much. Thanks.
You'll watch a wonderful,
extraordinary scene. Fantastic!
- Are you ready?
- We're so excited!
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
- Chief, how's it going?
- Good morning.
- A quick word?
- Of course. Set the stage, I'm coming.
For God's sake, what
kind of scene is this?
They've lost the plot. Didn't I
kidnap the girl in the last episode?
I did. Why am I
serenading her now?
And they put blood in my
hands. What is this blood?
Take a look.
Look. This.
"Take my heart in your
hands if you want.
Squeeze out the water, I can
live without water for you!"
What the hell is
this, a romance novel?
Tolga, this is our series.
We're not making an art-house movie.
We're breaking ratings records every week.
I get that, but how am I
supposed to act with this?
Fake words. I
don't believe this.
Okay, sit down for two
minutes. Let's talk.
For the love of God!
Look, bro, you know I love you.
I'm saying this as a friend, a
brother, please don't get me wrong.
No, bro, let's talk
anyway. Let's talk.
How do I put this?
You want to act in
more meaningful things.
Yes.
It's been four
seasons! Four seasons!
We've been in this business for
40 months. I'm about to explode!
You don't have that
kind of education.
You don't have
that kind of background.
It's a hit. Enjoy it.
There are thousands of
people who want to be you.
They're handsome too.
Give them some training,
and they'll be great.
You're 35, right?
You're not likely to get leading roles
this late in your career. Know your worth.
Award-winning directors are not
knocking down your door either,
saying, let's shoot
an art-house movie.
I'm saying
this for your own good.
Chief,
the set is ready!
I'm coming.
We'll talk again later.
You asked about emotions,
remember? Rage. I'm thinking rage!
SMOKING IS PROHIBITED
IN THIS AREA!
- Ms. İlkin?
- Spread the image on two pages, Uluç.
- I like the idea, let's see it that way.
- Okay.
So? What do you say
to my genius idea?
He has millions of followers. If
only he replied to every message…
Oh, my God!
Didn't you say that he was very worried
about the comments he was getting?
Okay, but he doesn't sit
and chat with anyone!
We've been together for years,
and he doesn't open up to me.
Will he open up to
someone he doesn't know?
Hmm.
Look me in the eye.
Do you know what these eyes have seen?
- I can guess.
- Like hell you can.
Okay, I may have only
just turned 30 though…
I've also learned
something in this life.
If people are helpless
enough, they will do anything.
That's the way it is.
I won't turn into a woman who texts
her husband on social media, my dear.
I'll sit him across from me
tonight, I'll talk nicely.
I chose these, take
a look if you want.
Also, don't forget
to email the photos.
I understand, sweetie.
I'm leaving,
anything else to say?
Nope, hope you have
a wonderful evening.
FASHION WEEKEND
Sinem, the products for
the photo shoot are here.
Sinem.
Sinem.
Yoo-hoo! Sinem!
Photo shoot products
have arrived.
Oh, I'll bring them
over right away.
And a coffee.
You're so mean.
Ayþe!
A little bit louder!
Ayşe!
Baran!
I've come to swear on my life!
I'm in love with you!
Let's cry! Cry, girl!
Look at each other!
Camera, get a close-up
shot! Get closer!
Rage! Rage!
A little more, a little more…
…a little stronger!
Keep going, keep going! A
little more! A little more!
Let me see the
rage in your eyes!
You and your damned rage!
Please forgive me! Did some
get on you? It's only sugar.
Sugar, look. Take a look, sugar.
Look at it. Look. It's sugar!
Look, it's sugar! Sugar!
It's not real! Nothing
on this set is real!
Look! Look! Not real!
Everything is fake! All fake!
It's all bullshit! Nonsense!
Look, look!
I'm not real either!
Look, look, look!
Do you know why? It's
all for the ratings!
It's all because of you!
You're watching!
How old are you? And you?
Go enjoy your life! What are you doing
on the set of this fucking TV series?
There's your rage.
Chapter Two "Berlin"
I did a good job!
What are you doing?
I'm on set.
Why are you on set?
Well…
Another scene came in.
They've been
writing and writing.
I can't leave the set, so I
need to stay here tonight.
Got it.
Are you okay though?
You sound a bit down.
I'm tired.
Anyway, İlkin, I gotta go.
Tolga?
Yes?
You'd tell me, wouldn't you?
If something happened,
you would tell me?
Of course.
See you later.
There are also quality TV
shows. Why don't I get offered them?
No movie offers either. We keep doing
the same thing over and over again.
What if he's right? Is
this all I'm good for?
Stop talking crap, I'm
going to fuck this guy over.
- Watch how I get this guy fired.
- No, don't do anything.
What do you mean,
don't do anything?
Who the hell is he?
No-talent old man.
I mean, does he even
have his own film?
Has he ever won any awards? As
if it were up to him. Bastard.
Have you talked to
İlkin about this?
You should, she's a smart girl.
What am I gonna say, Cüneyt? That I
don't have the guts to quit my job?
That this is all I'm good for,
and that I'm famous by chance,
is that what I should say?
Oh, God, stop talking shit!
Look, leave the
director to me, okay?
I've got to go now, don't
dwell on this. Come on.
Tolga, you're the
actor, you talk.
Yes, hello. How are
you? Are you well?
- Welcome to my channel.
- Welcome to my channel.
Hey, there's no light
here, come this way.
Fake accounts are being sold.
You buy them. They're ready-made!
You make him talk about everything.
He'll tell everything to one of these.
Bedelll Martino
How to get a fake account?
I'm doing this…
Username Berlin
…for the first time
ever in my life.
But I just have to write to you.
I watched you, Tolga, in
a scene the other day.
You didn't talk,
but I understood.
I saw you and believe
me, I heard you,
what you are hiding inside,
what you are not telling anyone.
Berlin Follow
At least I've been able
to reach one person. Lucky me.
There's no need for humility.
You reach millions every week.
I am aware of the ratings.
I guess you're
in the same business.
AutoX
No, I work
for a car magazine.
But I'm a good viewer. Or
else, you're a very good actor.
I'm sorry,
but I have to ask.
You're not one of those
crazy fans, are you?
I'm not, don't
worry. I have a boyfriend.
I also
have a girlfriend.
If it's going to be a
problem, I won't write to you.
It's no problem.
We're just chatting.
OPEN
EXIT
You should have seen it.
He kissed me and kissed me again.
He apologized for the evening.
He saw the spread I laid out.
It's been such a long time.
He left the house with such
a cheerful and smiling face.
I told you, this woman
knows what's she's doing!
I'll keep making small talk. Whatever
the problem is, I'll find out.
- I'll get him out of that depression.
- Don't let him figure out it's you.
Would you have figured it out?
Look…
don't you get pissed off at all?
Why?
Well, he's talking to another
woman. That's what he thinks.
I really don't care. We
had a wonderful time.
We laughed, had fun, chatted.
Just like it was at the beginning.
I really missed those days.
We don't need to
fight all our battles alone.
Sometimes it's good
to get a little help.
I can kick
everyone's ass alone.
I called, she
didn't answer, Ceren.
- So what should I do?
- What do you mean?
You should have checked.
- Am I the only person working here?
- No, guys, but...
Not a word.
- Why are you asking me?
- We'll find a solution. We'll go to print.
Guys, calm down.
What's going on?
The cover girl's manager does
not approve of the shots.
I've called a thousand
times, she's not picking up.
The magazine has gone to
print, and now we're stuck!
Hey, hon, how are you?
I'm well too.
The managing editor called you, but
you didn't answer, or return the call.
Is that right?
I brought some products
from Paris and Milan,
and we got some fantastic shots.
It appears you're
not signing them off?
No, you listen to me.
You've got five minutes to approve
them. I've got to go to print.
If you don't, I'll never work
with any of your clients again.
Thank you.
Tell them to print it.
But we haven't
received approval.
It's received.
- It's been approved! Let's go!
- We really got it.
Someone seems angry.
Who are you getting ready
to beat up, may I ask?
What? Violence? You
haven't gotten to know me.
I think I do know you.
Okay, come on then,
say one thing about me.
Hmm. You don't like
bouts of craziness, for example.
I take that as an insult.
I'm writing to you, aren't I?
That doesn't count.
Do something crazy right
now. Then I'll be convinced.
Are you challenging me?
Yes, but be careful.
Oscar Wilde said there are
only two tragedies in life:
one is not getting what one wants,
and the other is getting it.
This Oscar
seems to know his shit.
Okay, I'll do something crazy.
But you have to do something too.
Agreed.
Let's go get some ice cream.
- What? In the middle of the night?
- Mm-hmm.
You just got back from the
set, and you want ice cream?
What's wrong with that?
A little change is good.
Come on! Get up, get up!
Enjoy.
I'm going to get one more.
Thank you.
I've
completed my mission.
I had an ice cream on a
winter day. It's your turn!
- Darling, I'm going to the bathroom.
- Oh, okay.
Excuse me, can I try this on?
- Of course, right there.
- Can you hold this? Thank you.
Does this count?
So, what happened?
Cat got your tongue?
Chapter Three
"Show me your face"
Come on, tell me! I want
to hear it. Tell me!
Thanks to you, Burçin dear.
Thanks to you, I was able to get
in touch with my boyfriend again.
Thank you so much.
So, what are you
going to do with that account?
I'll close it, I guess.
I don't need it anymore.
Tolga didn't even reply
to my last message.
Really?
- Hello.
- Dear Ms. Ayşenil. Welcome.
- Hello, everyone.
- Hi, how's it going?
- How are you?
- You look beautiful today.
- You flatter me!
- But it's true.
- Any new roles?
- Why wouldn't there be?
- I found a wonderful script!
- Shh.
Fantastic! No doubt about it.
Hi, everyone.
- Hello, Tolga.
- Hello.
Hello, Tolga dear.
There's
a new digital show.
- Have you seen it? Astral travel.
- Sorry I'm late.
I've seen
that. Fantastic work.
The story alone is so powerful. Not
to mention the production is amazing.
Really, feelings are the
most important thing.
When it comes to stories, the important
thing is to express your emotions.
- Absolutely.
- What are you doing, Tolga?
Is the TV series still going?
One episode is five hours.
Exactly.
Lots of guns going off.
There's no one left to shoot
in the show. Everyone's dead.
How sweet!
How sweet!
When this is over maybe
you'll do a movie. Any offers?
I'm reading a few things.
I believe in fate.
Fate.
So, have you
started rehearsals?
My dear, I'll
start. I'll get myself a…
- You'll take care of that.
- I'll be at the back.
I should be able to handle
it. They should give it to me.
Won't they
give it to you?
Give me a whiskey, no ice.
Wasn't that a great show, Tolga?
You should have gotten rid of the
screenwriter instead of the director.
I didn't get rid of anyone.
Haven't you
read the new episode?
Oh, you're shooting me
this time. Your lover!
Forget about it. Tomorrow I'm off, I'm
going to drink like a fish. Kisses.
Babe, they're letting us in.
Tolga? They're letting us in.
The script came in, I'm on
set early in the morning.
- No way!
- Really.
Okay, I'll come with you then.
No, no, no, honey, you…
You need to be seen anyway.
I'll go memorize my lines.
See you at home, okay?
- Please forgive me.
- Okay.
I'm out of here.
I'm here.
Ooh! İlkin!
How's it going, Cüneyt?
It's good. I was looking at some
investment property. I was almost late.
- Ms. Burçin?
- Oh. Hello.
Hello.
Where's Tolga?
He just left. They told him he's
needed on the set early in the morning.
Oh, my word!
Well, now that his seat is
available, we can watch it together.
Oh. Lucky me.
Sh-Shall we go in? I
think they're starting…
- Okay.
- Yes.
Don't do this to me! Don't
leave me with this horse's ass.
- Burçin, please.
- Fine.
Um, but we… We
have to go, Burçin!
Okay, I'll be right there.
Okay.
Don't you want to burn
everything down and walk away sometimes?
They are
working you too hard?
They've put you on the
set in the morning, right?
Wrong guess, there's
no set tomorrow.
What are you doing then?
I'm out, drinking alone.
Are you really this lonely?
YES
He's lying to me, then
telling her the truth.
That's so sweet!
Are you getting jealous
of yourself?
I'm standing right in front of
him. I'm looking into his eyes.
He doesn't open up to
me, he goes to Berlin.
- For heaven's sake, you are Berlin.
- But he doesn't know that.
Hi. What's up? I'm
Atilla, the new director.
I set up a weird scene inside. We're
going to shoot fantastic stuff.
Really bloody stuff,
hard-core. Huh?
Okay? I'm going to tell them
how we're going to shoot.
I've thought about
this a lot, I want to meet up.
I want to know who is this woman
who understands me so well.
Show me your face.
What happened?
For God's sake.
Forget about it. Leave
him to his own devices.
He can just fuck right off.
It's over and done
anyway. Isn't it? İlkin?
No more.
İlkin? Look at me.
İlkin?
Break up with this guy.
God, what is it?
We'll drink, we'll cry, we'll get
over it. What's he gonna say to you?
It's over, it's done.
Look, he wants to
meet someone else.
Look at me. Why can't
you leave this guy?
We'll
remember this moment.
I don't know you.
I don't know anything about you.
But there is one
thing I do know.
I will never give up on you.
If he wants a face…
I'll give him a face!
Why?
I'm curious. I want to
see how far it will go.
I'm going crazy. What are you going to
do, find someone else instead of you?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Who would agree to
something like that?
Don't even ask me about
that day. What a nightmare.
Right in the middle of the shoot,
the model ripped the necklace.
With a multimillion dollar stone. I
was shocked. I didn't know what to do.
- What did you do?
- What do you think I did?
With your magnificence
and splendor,
you took to the stage and…
I continued shooting. It was either
that or stop shooting altogether.
But first, I cut off the shipping
receipt and threw it away.
You did good.
- The set turned into a complete mess.
- Excuse me, Ceren. Um, Ceren.
- Excuse me.
- What is it?
Human resources put out an ad looking
for an administrative assistant.
And?
I mean, I've been an
assistant here for two years.
I'm an apprentice. And now I'd
like to be an administrative ass...
- Let me ask you something.
- Yes?
What do I care?
Can't you see I'm telling a story about
a very important shoot? Where was I?
Could you send the apprentice
to my office, please?
Don't be ridiculous!
What next? Even I
wouldn't do this.
I'm going.
Oh, I can't look.
Come in.
Um…
You called for me?
What's your name?
Sinem.
I have a proposal
for you, Sinem.
star of the Black Heart series,
which broke rating records for two
years in a row, has just arrived.
Celebrities
have started to arrive
at this year's 18th annual
Crystal DNF TV Awards.
Big names from the TV
series are posing on the red carpet.
Let's see which TV series will
take home awards this year.
It narrowly
lost the award last year.
- Let's see what happens this year.
- Tolga!
Mr. Tolga,
a selfie, please.
Thank you so much.
- Mr. Tolga, can you pose for us?
- The crowd's getting loud.
You said in your interview
that you were waiting for someone?
Will the person
in question be here tonight?
Is the person in question
an actor like you?
Sir, who is this
mysterious woman?
How do you
know when a love is over?
How can you be sure
that it's time to leave?
I learned this the hard way.
İlkin Gönen, the
editor-in-chief of Maquette magazine,
has arrived at the ceremony.
İlkin Gönen will obviously
be talked about a lot this year,
with her beauty and her
gorgeous white dress.
Your
outfit looks amazing!
Because I was sure. It
was him, the love of my life.
Ms.
Burcu, a photo, please.
Ms. İlkin, can we
get a few words about tonight?
Ms. İlkin, don't
you have a date?
If it were today,
I would say to myself…
everyone forgets everyone,
İlkin. Forgetting is a blessing.
I didn't know.
Between the World and Us
Chapter One "İlkin & Tolga"
It
was a great night.
Everyone who deserved it
got their awards tonight.
- Things are starting to wrap up now.
- Can I grab a tea, please?
We will
end the night here.
Hope to see you at next year's
award ceremonies. Goodbye.
- Hello?
- They've left the crowd.
It's just the two
of them. Get going!
Bon appétit.
GREENPARK
Oh, fuck.
Tolga, they're taking photos!
Good for you!
Who is this woman? She looks
familiar. Did you get her name?
Her name's İlkin…
I could threaten you right now,
get you fired,
make your life miserable.
But I won't do it.
I'll be honest with you.
Right now you think you have
the opportunity of a lifetime.
Wrong.
I'm the one who's got the
opportunity of a lifetime.
I found the love of my life.
I thought this only
happened in fairy tales.
It happens to be real.
So sell those
photos if you want.
Write about what you
heard, I don't care.
But if she gets upset just once,
if she sheds one tear…
- then I will…
- Dude…
4 years later
The remote doesn't work,
you said you'd get it fixed.
- Huh?
- I said the remote, the TV remote.
You said you would handle
it. It's been two weeks…
Tolga, is what you
are looking at urgent?
Not really. They wrote stupid comments
under the photo. I'm deleting them.
What does it matter?
You give too much importance
to people you don't know.
Okay, you don't care about it.
We're fake and pathetic.
You are perfect.
Like you don't care
about your social media…
- Where are you going?
- Pfft.
- What "Pfft"?
- I won't open my mouth anymore.
- I won't talk to you about anything.
- İlkin!
You always do the same thing.
You leave while I'm talking.
You're not talking,
you're complaining.
What do you mean?
What's up with you?
I tell you to see me, hear me.
I'm supposed to be your girlfriend,
but you treat me like a stranger.
İlkin, I already see you.
- Really?
- Yes.
Tell me then, what am I wearing?
What do you mean?
You've got a robe on.
Mm-hmm, a robe. Good answer.
That's exactly what you'll see all night.
Because you aren't going to
see what's underneath it.
So today we're arguing
because of a robe? Is that it?
- Of course not, Tolga!
- Then what?
You don't talk to me!
- You don't look up from your phone.
- Why the phone…
I know you're fed up with something.
You don't tell me anything.
Why? Why don't you tell
me what's bothering you?
Because you wouldn't understand!
My problems may seem
absurd to your classy life.
What's that supposed to mean?
How many times have you watched my
show? It's been four seasons, four!
I don't watch things like that.
Things like that.
Tolga, I don't watch TV,
you know that very well.
That's beside the point. See
me, hear me, that's what I want.
Tell me your problems.
You're changing the subject.
- Okay.
- Tolga what are you doing? Leave me alone!
- No, wait a minute!
- What are you doing?
- You say I can't see, let me take a look!
- What is wrong with you?
I'm tired of being told that I
should be happy with what I've got.
Constantly.
"When one is in love, one
always begins by deceiving one's self,
and ends by deceiving others. That
is what the world calls a romance."
That's what Oscar Wilde said.
We found each other
among 15 million people.
But lost each other
in the same house.
Hey! What's the problem?
What's wrong with you two?
We can't communicate.
- What do you think, is this it?
- Yes, definitely.
- This one is perfect.
- Okay.
I took a few shots. Take a look.
Okay. Come on, let's see.
So it seems like everything
is going well in his life.
Thanks.
But actually it's not like that.
- Excuse me.
- Mm-hmm.
Isn't this… Isn't
this too straight on?
- Huh?
- Mm-hmm.
- Can you turn her diagonally?
- Okay.
No, this way. Wait a
minute. I'm coming.
Can you
widen your movement? Yes.
- How's this?
- That's great, let's fix the hair.
Very good, very good.
Meanwhile, he's using
work as an excuse.
He's definitely hiding something.
And he never shares with me.
Haven't you been together
for a thousand years?
Don't you talk at
all? Ridiculous!
We're talking
for the sake of talking.
He's not sharing anything
about himself with me.
I know there's a void inside
Tolga, but I can't fill it.
Why doesn't he leave, then?
Listen, when was the last
time you two made love, huh?
Tell me, girl, it's important. When?
About two weeks ago, I guess.
What?
Two weeks ago, Burçin.
What? Two weeks?
What the fuck is that?
If a man doesn't touch me for two weeks,
I'll throw him out the front door.
- Are you not attracted to him?
- It's not that.
So, you're very unhappy.
Do we only love someone when
we're happy, Burçin? Huh?
Two weeks? That
asshole can fuck off.
I really don't get it.
If you're unhappy, leave. He can
leave on the horse he rode in on.
- How was the shoot?
- Fantastic!
Of course.
What have you done?
I added some notes
to your email.
- Take a look and send it to me.
- Of course.
I've invested four years
in this relationship.
Is breaking up that easy?
Look at me. You can't bring
yourself to end it? Huh?
Does it feel like you're
a loser, a failure?
Ah! Ah, so funny!
- Are you afraid of breaking up?
- Let me ask you something.
Mmm?
Did I tell you how we met?
Hmm.
Yes! They said there
was a party, so we came.
Hey, guys, make
yourself at home!
Tolga.
İlkin.
İlkin?
Bro, come
here. Don't bother her.
Come here.
- Come on. Leave people alone.
- Hmm. Okay. Okay.
I was saying
Art Basel Miami, darling.
Frieze London, if it's
going to be an art trip,
we'll just skip to
these two, right?
Yes, yes,
it definitely is.
Looks like someone
was bored inside.
I'm getting some air.
It's freezing.
Don't catch a cold.
What are you going to
do, give me your jacket?
Would you like it?
I prefer to wear my
boyfriend's jacket.
If I'm making you
uncomfortable, I can go.
I'll get lost. You'll
never see me again.
There's something missing.
- I beg your pardon?
- There's something missing.
I'm going to take your photo,
but there's something missing.
Who said I'd let you?
You'll thank me later.
- Really?
- Really.
Why's that?
Because we'll
remember this moment.
Yes! I've got it! Don't move.
Ready.
I'd better go inside.
The most daring person
I'd ever seen in my life.
And the most impressive.
The heat was intense.
No one had ever swept me off my
feet like that in my entire life.
I want that Tolga back.
Wait a sec, you skipped something. What
he said in your ear, you skipped it.
What difference does it make?
He's not the same man anymore.
It's like his passion is gone,
it's been like this for months.
He has a problem, I'm sure,
but he doesn't talk to me.
So, let someone else talk to him, huh?
Sometimes it happens, we can't
open up to our closest friend,
then we go to someone
we don't know,
get verbal diarrhea and
talk about everything.
I do this a lot. I always
do this.
Oh, fuck!
Girl, I got it!
I swear I got it!
Ha! Gee, I found it!
Where's my phone?
Look, fake accounts are
being sold on social media.
Buy one of them, write to him constantly,
you make him talk about everything.
But with a different identity! Don't
be an idiot and use your own name.
- Oh, don't be ridiculous, Burçin.
- Yeah.
What are you laughing at?
Everyone has a fake account.
Of course.
You buy them.
They're ready-made!
Here. Here. Take a look.
- For sale?
- Yes, take a look.
Look at these, they're all fake.
- Look. Look.
- All of them?
Yes! He'll tell everything
to one of these.
Look, what's this?
Let's click on this one.
Whee!
Welcome, Mr. Tolga.
Hi, İsmet.
I couldn't find a
spot. You can find one.
Okay, Mr. Tolga.
Mr. Tolga, hello.
Can we get a picture?
- We love you so much.
- Hello.
Excuse me. Mr. Tolga
needs to get to the set.
- Are these the contest winners?
- Yes, Mr. Tolga.
- Of course we can take some pictures.
- Good to see you. That's wonderful.
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much. Thanks.
You'll watch a wonderful,
extraordinary scene. Fantastic!
- Are you ready?
- We're so excited!
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
- Chief, how's it going?
- Good morning.
- A quick word?
- Of course. Set the stage, I'm coming.
For God's sake, what
kind of scene is this?
They've lost the plot. Didn't I
kidnap the girl in the last episode?
I did. Why am I
serenading her now?
And they put blood in my
hands. What is this blood?
Take a look.
Look. This.
"Take my heart in your
hands if you want.
Squeeze out the water, I can
live without water for you!"
What the hell is
this, a romance novel?
Tolga, this is our series.
We're not making an art-house movie.
We're breaking ratings records every week.
I get that, but how am I
supposed to act with this?
Fake words. I
don't believe this.
Okay, sit down for two
minutes. Let's talk.
For the love of God!
Look, bro, you know I love you.
I'm saying this as a friend, a
brother, please don't get me wrong.
No, bro, let's talk
anyway. Let's talk.
How do I put this?
You want to act in
more meaningful things.
Yes.
It's been four
seasons! Four seasons!
We've been in this business for
40 months. I'm about to explode!
You don't have that
kind of education.
You don't have
that kind of background.
It's a hit. Enjoy it.
There are thousands of
people who want to be you.
They're handsome too.
Give them some training,
and they'll be great.
You're 35, right?
You're not likely to get leading roles
this late in your career. Know your worth.
Award-winning directors are not
knocking down your door either,
saying, let's shoot
an art-house movie.
I'm saying
this for your own good.
Chief,
the set is ready!
I'm coming.
We'll talk again later.
You asked about emotions,
remember? Rage. I'm thinking rage!
SMOKING IS PROHIBITED
IN THIS AREA!
- Ms. İlkin?
- Spread the image on two pages, Uluç.
- I like the idea, let's see it that way.
- Okay.
So? What do you say
to my genius idea?
He has millions of followers. If
only he replied to every message…
Oh, my God!
Didn't you say that he was very worried
about the comments he was getting?
Okay, but he doesn't sit
and chat with anyone!
We've been together for years,
and he doesn't open up to me.
Will he open up to
someone he doesn't know?
Hmm.
Look me in the eye.
Do you know what these eyes have seen?
- I can guess.
- Like hell you can.
Okay, I may have only
just turned 30 though…
I've also learned
something in this life.
If people are helpless
enough, they will do anything.
That's the way it is.
I won't turn into a woman who texts
her husband on social media, my dear.
I'll sit him across from me
tonight, I'll talk nicely.
I chose these, take
a look if you want.
Also, don't forget
to email the photos.
I understand, sweetie.
I'm leaving,
anything else to say?
Nope, hope you have
a wonderful evening.
FASHION WEEKEND
Sinem, the products for
the photo shoot are here.
Sinem.
Sinem.
Yoo-hoo! Sinem!
Photo shoot products
have arrived.
Oh, I'll bring them
over right away.
And a coffee.
You're so mean.
Ayþe!
A little bit louder!
Ayşe!
Baran!
I've come to swear on my life!
I'm in love with you!
Let's cry! Cry, girl!
Look at each other!
Camera, get a close-up
shot! Get closer!
Rage! Rage!
A little more, a little more…
…a little stronger!
Keep going, keep going! A
little more! A little more!
Let me see the
rage in your eyes!
You and your damned rage!
Please forgive me! Did some
get on you? It's only sugar.
Sugar, look. Take a look, sugar.
Look at it. Look. It's sugar!
Look, it's sugar! Sugar!
It's not real! Nothing
on this set is real!
Look! Look! Not real!
Everything is fake! All fake!
It's all bullshit! Nonsense!
Look, look!
I'm not real either!
Look, look, look!
Do you know why? It's
all for the ratings!
It's all because of you!
You're watching!
How old are you? And you?
Go enjoy your life! What are you doing
on the set of this fucking TV series?
There's your rage.
Chapter Two "Berlin"
I did a good job!
What are you doing?
I'm on set.
Why are you on set?
Well…
Another scene came in.
They've been
writing and writing.
I can't leave the set, so I
need to stay here tonight.
Got it.
Are you okay though?
You sound a bit down.
I'm tired.
Anyway, İlkin, I gotta go.
Tolga?
Yes?
You'd tell me, wouldn't you?
If something happened,
you would tell me?
Of course.
See you later.
There are also quality TV
shows. Why don't I get offered them?
No movie offers either. We keep doing
the same thing over and over again.
What if he's right? Is
this all I'm good for?
Stop talking crap, I'm
going to fuck this guy over.
- Watch how I get this guy fired.
- No, don't do anything.
What do you mean,
don't do anything?
Who the hell is he?
No-talent old man.
I mean, does he even
have his own film?
Has he ever won any awards? As
if it were up to him. Bastard.
Have you talked to
İlkin about this?
You should, she's a smart girl.
What am I gonna say, Cüneyt? That I
don't have the guts to quit my job?
That this is all I'm good for,
and that I'm famous by chance,
is that what I should say?
Oh, God, stop talking shit!
Look, leave the
director to me, okay?
I've got to go now, don't
dwell on this. Come on.
Tolga, you're the
actor, you talk.
Yes, hello. How are
you? Are you well?
- Welcome to my channel.
- Welcome to my channel.
Hey, there's no light
here, come this way.
Fake accounts are being sold.
You buy them. They're ready-made!
You make him talk about everything.
He'll tell everything to one of these.
Bedelll Martino
How to get a fake account?
I'm doing this…
Username Berlin
…for the first time
ever in my life.
But I just have to write to you.
I watched you, Tolga, in
a scene the other day.
You didn't talk,
but I understood.
I saw you and believe
me, I heard you,
what you are hiding inside,
what you are not telling anyone.
Berlin Follow
At least I've been able
to reach one person. Lucky me.
There's no need for humility.
You reach millions every week.
I am aware of the ratings.
I guess you're
in the same business.
AutoX
No, I work
for a car magazine.
But I'm a good viewer. Or
else, you're a very good actor.
I'm sorry,
but I have to ask.
You're not one of those
crazy fans, are you?
I'm not, don't
worry. I have a boyfriend.
I also
have a girlfriend.
If it's going to be a
problem, I won't write to you.
It's no problem.
We're just chatting.
OPEN
EXIT
You should have seen it.
He kissed me and kissed me again.
He apologized for the evening.
He saw the spread I laid out.
It's been such a long time.
He left the house with such
a cheerful and smiling face.
I told you, this woman
knows what's she's doing!
I'll keep making small talk. Whatever
the problem is, I'll find out.
- I'll get him out of that depression.
- Don't let him figure out it's you.
Would you have figured it out?
Look…
don't you get pissed off at all?
Why?
Well, he's talking to another
woman. That's what he thinks.
I really don't care. We
had a wonderful time.
We laughed, had fun, chatted.
Just like it was at the beginning.
I really missed those days.
We don't need to
fight all our battles alone.
Sometimes it's good
to get a little help.
I can kick
everyone's ass alone.
I called, she
didn't answer, Ceren.
- So what should I do?
- What do you mean?
You should have checked.
- Am I the only person working here?
- No, guys, but...
Not a word.
- Why are you asking me?
- We'll find a solution. We'll go to print.
Guys, calm down.
What's going on?
The cover girl's manager does
not approve of the shots.
I've called a thousand
times, she's not picking up.
The magazine has gone to
print, and now we're stuck!
Hey, hon, how are you?
I'm well too.
The managing editor called you, but
you didn't answer, or return the call.
Is that right?
I brought some products
from Paris and Milan,
and we got some fantastic shots.
It appears you're
not signing them off?
No, you listen to me.
You've got five minutes to approve
them. I've got to go to print.
If you don't, I'll never work
with any of your clients again.
Thank you.
Tell them to print it.
But we haven't
received approval.
It's received.
- It's been approved! Let's go!
- We really got it.
Someone seems angry.
Who are you getting ready
to beat up, may I ask?
What? Violence? You
haven't gotten to know me.
I think I do know you.
Okay, come on then,
say one thing about me.
Hmm. You don't like
bouts of craziness, for example.
I take that as an insult.
I'm writing to you, aren't I?
That doesn't count.
Do something crazy right
now. Then I'll be convinced.
Are you challenging me?
Yes, but be careful.
Oscar Wilde said there are
only two tragedies in life:
one is not getting what one wants,
and the other is getting it.
This Oscar
seems to know his shit.
Okay, I'll do something crazy.
But you have to do something too.
Agreed.
Let's go get some ice cream.
- What? In the middle of the night?
- Mm-hmm.
You just got back from the
set, and you want ice cream?
What's wrong with that?
A little change is good.
Come on! Get up, get up!
Enjoy.
I'm going to get one more.
Thank you.
I've
completed my mission.
I had an ice cream on a
winter day. It's your turn!
- Darling, I'm going to the bathroom.
- Oh, okay.
Excuse me, can I try this on?
- Of course, right there.
- Can you hold this? Thank you.
Does this count?
So, what happened?
Cat got your tongue?
Chapter Three
"Show me your face"
Come on, tell me! I want
to hear it. Tell me!
Thanks to you, Burçin dear.
Thanks to you, I was able to get
in touch with my boyfriend again.
Thank you so much.
So, what are you
going to do with that account?
I'll close it, I guess.
I don't need it anymore.
Tolga didn't even reply
to my last message.
Really?
- Hello.
- Dear Ms. Ayşenil. Welcome.
- Hello, everyone.
- Hi, how's it going?
- How are you?
- You look beautiful today.
- You flatter me!
- But it's true.
- Any new roles?
- Why wouldn't there be?
- I found a wonderful script!
- Shh.
Fantastic! No doubt about it.
Hi, everyone.
- Hello, Tolga.
- Hello.
Hello, Tolga dear.
There's
a new digital show.
- Have you seen it? Astral travel.
- Sorry I'm late.
I've seen
that. Fantastic work.
The story alone is so powerful. Not
to mention the production is amazing.
Really, feelings are the
most important thing.
When it comes to stories, the important
thing is to express your emotions.
- Absolutely.
- What are you doing, Tolga?
Is the TV series still going?
One episode is five hours.
Exactly.
Lots of guns going off.
There's no one left to shoot
in the show. Everyone's dead.
How sweet!
How sweet!
When this is over maybe
you'll do a movie. Any offers?
I'm reading a few things.
I believe in fate.
Fate.
So, have you
started rehearsals?
My dear, I'll
start. I'll get myself a…
- You'll take care of that.
- I'll be at the back.
I should be able to handle
it. They should give it to me.
Won't they
give it to you?
Give me a whiskey, no ice.
Wasn't that a great show, Tolga?
You should have gotten rid of the
screenwriter instead of the director.
I didn't get rid of anyone.
Haven't you
read the new episode?
Oh, you're shooting me
this time. Your lover!
Forget about it. Tomorrow I'm off, I'm
going to drink like a fish. Kisses.
Babe, they're letting us in.
Tolga? They're letting us in.
The script came in, I'm on
set early in the morning.
- No way!
- Really.
Okay, I'll come with you then.
No, no, no, honey, you…
You need to be seen anyway.
I'll go memorize my lines.
See you at home, okay?
- Please forgive me.
- Okay.
I'm out of here.
I'm here.
Ooh! İlkin!
How's it going, Cüneyt?
It's good. I was looking at some
investment property. I was almost late.
- Ms. Burçin?
- Oh. Hello.
Hello.
Where's Tolga?
He just left. They told him he's
needed on the set early in the morning.
Oh, my word!
Well, now that his seat is
available, we can watch it together.
Oh. Lucky me.
Sh-Shall we go in? I
think they're starting…
- Okay.
- Yes.
Don't do this to me! Don't
leave me with this horse's ass.
- Burçin, please.
- Fine.
Um, but we… We
have to go, Burçin!
Okay, I'll be right there.
Okay.
Don't you want to burn
everything down and walk away sometimes?
They are
working you too hard?
They've put you on the
set in the morning, right?
Wrong guess, there's
no set tomorrow.
What are you doing then?
I'm out, drinking alone.
Are you really this lonely?
YES
He's lying to me, then
telling her the truth.
That's so sweet!
Are you getting jealous
of yourself?
I'm standing right in front of
him. I'm looking into his eyes.
He doesn't open up to
me, he goes to Berlin.
- For heaven's sake, you are Berlin.
- But he doesn't know that.
Hi. What's up? I'm
Atilla, the new director.
I set up a weird scene inside. We're
going to shoot fantastic stuff.
Really bloody stuff,
hard-core. Huh?
Okay? I'm going to tell them
how we're going to shoot.
I've thought about
this a lot, I want to meet up.
I want to know who is this woman
who understands me so well.
Show me your face.
What happened?
For God's sake.
Forget about it. Leave
him to his own devices.
He can just fuck right off.
It's over and done
anyway. Isn't it? İlkin?
No more.
İlkin? Look at me.
İlkin?
Break up with this guy.
God, what is it?
We'll drink, we'll cry, we'll get
over it. What's he gonna say to you?
It's over, it's done.
Look, he wants to
meet someone else.
Look at me. Why can't
you leave this guy?
We'll
remember this moment.
I don't know you.
I don't know anything about you.
But there is one
thing I do know.
I will never give up on you.
If he wants a face…
I'll give him a face!
Why?
I'm curious. I want to
see how far it will go.
I'm going crazy. What are you going to
do, find someone else instead of you?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Who would agree to
something like that?
Don't even ask me about
that day. What a nightmare.
Right in the middle of the shoot,
the model ripped the necklace.
With a multimillion dollar stone. I
was shocked. I didn't know what to do.
- What did you do?
- What do you think I did?
With your magnificence
and splendor,
you took to the stage and…
I continued shooting. It was either
that or stop shooting altogether.
But first, I cut off the shipping
receipt and threw it away.
You did good.
- The set turned into a complete mess.
- Excuse me, Ceren. Um, Ceren.
- Excuse me.
- What is it?
Human resources put out an ad looking
for an administrative assistant.
And?
I mean, I've been an
assistant here for two years.
I'm an apprentice. And now I'd
like to be an administrative ass...
- Let me ask you something.
- Yes?
What do I care?
Can't you see I'm telling a story about
a very important shoot? Where was I?
Could you send the apprentice
to my office, please?
Don't be ridiculous!
What next? Even I
wouldn't do this.
I'm going.
Oh, I can't look.
Come in.
Um…
You called for me?
What's your name?
Sinem.
I have a proposal
for you, Sinem.
