Man on Pause (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

I love these solar panels.

You get the power of the sun
without paying a dime.

Isn't it wonderful?

Whoa, whoa.
Twenty-four hours for a mini fridge.

Look.

- An LED TV for about eight hours.
- Uh-huh.

A satellite receiver,
that's eight hours too.

What am I gonna do
with a satellite receiver?

Who uses those anymore?
Charging your phone indefinitely.

- How much is that?
- That is about 6,400.

Ah, that's good.



You don't have to pay bills anymore,

so it's yours to use forever.

- Exactly. Oh, my God. What the hell?
- Why? What's wrong?

Look. If you install 12 panels

you can light up
12 LED bulbs for eight hours.

A large fridge
up to 24 hours. A satellite receiver...

Who the hell needs a satellite receiver?
Forget about that. Listen to this.

Use a washing machine
or a dishwasher three times a week.

Two HP submersible pumps.
What the hell is a submersible pump?

Inverter air conditioner
for about five hours a day.

- What is that?
- Boy, isn't this just great?

What's up?

- Wait, is that a car on the cliff there?
- What? Where now?

- What's wrong?
- Just a minute.



Ferit, what are you doing?

Hang on a sec.

Fuck! Do you see that?

I do.
Do you think there's still someone inside?

Hey, is anybody there?

Excuse us.
Is there anyone inside the car?

Akya?

Halit? Is that you?

Akya, my love!

Ah!

1 DAY AGO

Kill him with an arrow.

No evidence.

An arrow is best.

That's what you get
for fucking a young girl.

Don't talk like that.

That's my daughter you're talking about.

Am I wrong, Mahmut?
He fucked your daughter.

Watch your words. Shut the fuck up.

I guess you're right.

This is all new to me
because I don't have kids.

If it was my daughter he fucked,

I would go and fuck him up!

Just drop it, will you?

She sure is a hot piece of ass.

Hey, what's it to you, huh?

Sorry, Mahmut. I just get so angry.
It's obviously their mother's fault.

She didn't raise those girls properly.

- Shut up. Please.
- I mean, am I wrong, Mahmut?

They've been in bed
with every single man in Marmaris.

That's enough! God damn it!

Just keep quiet.

Can you keep quiet
for one goddamn minute, huh?

One minute.

So difficult?

Can't keep quiet for one minute?

Please just knock me up, Mahmut.

Put your seed inside me.

I want to have a kid with you.

I've never been a mother.

I don't know how it all works.

Teach me how to be a mother.

Svetlana, dear.

I know you have a kid. Don't lie to me.

Come on. Go. Go!

Thank you, my dear.

Just wait here.

Okay, ma'am.

Hey, abi.

Halit, where are you?

It's Meryem.

Hey, Halit?

Halit, you there?

Halit?

Meryem?

- Oh, Meryem.
- Halit.

Halit. What is this?

Never mind.

Things got a little complicated for me.

I can't think straight.

So I guess
I've become a recluse.

- Are you okay?
- What's it look like?

What's up?

You can't imagine the trouble we're in.

Or rather, Yusuf's in.

- How did you get here?
- I came by boat. It's over there.

Don't worry.

You know, Yusuf is like a brother to me.

I wouldn't be able to live
if something happened to him.

What's wrong?

He's a cheater.

Oh.

What's wrong?

- Anxiety.
- What?

Bad nerves, you know?

I'm losing it.

I'll be right back.

It's who they are!

What?

His damn sister is like that too!

Our whole marriage,
I didn't cheat on her one single time.

But what did she do?

If you're not up to it,
I'll find another way to handle it.

I'm here because
I don't know how else to deal with him.

No, I'll be right there.
Water makes me feel alive.

Be right there.

So what's happening?

I'm not sure.

He said a girl seduced him.

And when was this?

I really don't know.
Her father was after him.

He swore they didn't do anything,
that they didn't even hold hands.

Oh. I wouldn't really
call that cheating, then.

Do you think it's true?

I know Yusuf and he can't lie.

We all know he's a terrible liar.

He starts panicking.
Starts fumbling around.

He can't do it.

No freaking way.

If anyone harms
even one hair on my Yusuf's head,

I'm gonna put them six feet under
in no time, you better believe me.

Tell me. Where's he know?

He's at the mountain lodge
and a guy is chasing after him.

Chaos is inevitable. Indeed.

I'll get my gun.

Damn, an anxiety attack.

Are you going to dive in?

No, don't worry. I got this one.

Maybe this was a mistake.

Hello.

Halit's on his way up there.

You okay?

Yeah, I am. I am

Once I come out of this, Meryem,

I'll never leave you.

Kick me out the door
and I'll come back through the chimney.

Men are the arch enemies of happiness.

They go behind your back
in your happiest moment.

I was very happy, Yusuf.

I was happy because you were.

And look where we are now.

Haven't I made you happy?

As God's my witness,
you've made me very happy.

I'm sorry.

Never do it again.

God should kill me.

No more, Meryem.

I can't live without you. You know that.

I'm nothing without you, Yusuf,
and that's why I'm heartbroken.

I feel like I betrayed myself.

Please don't do this again.

Look, my heart's not what it used to be.

Every time, it hurts more.

If you love me, never again.

I won't.

I promise, I'll never do it again.

Oh, uh,
you know the restaurant Manzara?

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

Our house is just at the end of the road.

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

Someone's outside.

Maybe it's Halit.

No, he couldn't be that fast.

Is it really him?

All right, I got to go.

I'm a changed man, Fadime!

I'm not the old Halit.

I only turned on this fucking phone
so I could speak with you.

After this, back off.
I do not use technology.

I don't know
what you're talking about, Halit.

Lower the music.

I switched myself off.

- I'm on listening mode from now on.
- Your cell phone!

I became a recluse. Do you understand?

I dealt with you and your hot ass,

and I'm done with you!

You can file for divorce. Now, go ahead.

Forest Path
1 hour and 13 minutes 71 km

Turn left.

I'm done with you, for good! Believe me.

You can have the damn apartment
and whatever else you want.

I'm finished with my worldly possessions.
Do you understand?

Music's too loud! I can't hear you.

I'm also seeing someone else.

- I'm very happy with her.
- What?

I'm telling you
that I'm seeing someone else!

- I dealt with you. I'm done with you!
- Yeah. All right. I get it.

You can file for divorce today.
Now, if you want.

I can't be bothered
with all that paperwork anyway.

Can you stop repeating yourself?

You want to know what else I did, Fadime?

I became a damn recluse.
Worldly possessions don't mean shit to me.

Jesus Christ. You fucking moron.

What?

Very well done.

I'm staying away from the phone
and all that other modern shit!

Turn left.

It's all monkey business.
Do you hear me?

Fucking hell!

Here is what we do.

I'll lure him outside
and you shoot him right in the ass.

You sure?

I saw it in a movie once.

Wait here for me.

Just tell me
what you're gonna do, all right?

Watch me.

I'm gonna fuck you up, man.

Oh, shit. Svetlana.

Svetlana!

Svetlana. Look at me.

Look. Look at me, Svetlana.
Look at me, Svetlana! Svetlana!

Look at me. Svetlana!

Yusuf!

Yusuf!

Move over.

Şahinde.

The hell have you done?

You're free now. Don't you see?

I have freed you from her.

How could you do something like this,
damn it. Huh?

- How could you this?
- I simply can't live without you, Mahmut.

I can't do it.
Forget about that bitch. She's Russian.

No one will ever come looking for her.

- Bullshit.
- Don't worry, love.

We'll get through this together.

We'll bury her.

Or do whatever.

I can do anything.
As long as I know you're with me.

You...

You're insane.

You've gone insane.

What happened?

- Someone died.
- Someone died?

Yusuf, it was in my fortune.

- Who died?
- I don't know.

I couldn't see their face.
I guess it was a woman.

- What woman?
- I don't know. She fell off the roof.

The roof?
Yusuf, what was she doing up there?

How would I know?
I guess she was blocking the chimney

because the smoke
was coming out of the stove.

Well, that's weird.
Are you sure about that?

There was smoke everywhere. I got out.

Uh... And they were shooting arrows.

They shot a couple of arrows.

I mean, arrows were whizzing past me
and I ran back inside.

And maybe, I don't know,
uh, an arrow hit her by accident.

- An arrow?
- Yeah, an arrow.

FADIME

The person
you have called is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Recalculating route.

Well, fuck you and your bullshit route!

Svetlana!

You wouldn't cry like this if I'd died.

Stop crying.
The bitch is finally dead. Good riddance.

Why did you kill her, damn it.
Huh? Huh? Why?

- Don't touch me!
- Because...

Because I love you.

Hey, you need to stop crying.

Let's get this over with
before anyone sees us.

I...

Come on,
let's bag her up and get out of here.

Whoa! She's heavy, man.

What do you feed her?

I mean, I'd do the same.

If I had a man like you,
I'd eat, drink and live the good life.

- How much does she weigh?
- How the hell would I know?

Don't be sad.

They say Russians lose their charm
after 30. She was 30, right?

- Twenty-seven.
- Yeah, these types whither.

In three years, you wouldn't
even wanna see her face. Forget it.

Come on!

And we're done.

What should we do?

I say we throw her off the cliff.

It's gonna be
104 degrees in Marmaris tomorrow.

There's a heat wave.

She'll rot away quick.

Sila speaking.

- Yeah. Good evening.
- Good evening to you, sir.

Uh, can I speak with Yusuf?

Uh, one minute.
Please hold for me. Velihan, telephone.

- Hello?
- Uh, I'd like to speak with Yusuf, please.

This is his son Velihan.
What can I do for you today?

Oh, Velihan.
I'm calling about the mountain lodge.

We really like the house
but I can't find your dad's phone number.

- Would you be able to help me with it?
- Of course. Do you have a pen and paper?

One sec.

Listen, Yusuf. If the cops call,
here's what we can say to them.

That it's our summer place
and we're gonna try and sell it. Okay?

- Yeah, that's right.
- We haven't been there for a long time.

So, since we don't go there anymore,

it's no use to us.
That's why we're selling.

- Am I right?
- Okay.

So we don't know anything
about any dead bodies, officer.

Exactly, Yusuf.

It's not inside a gated community,
so there's a lack of security.

Yeah.

Sometimes we find
bottles of booze in the yard. Haven't we?

- Yeah, we have. It was last summer, right?
- Uh-huh.

Sometimes the drunks go there
and we have no idea they're even there.

That's what we're gonna say. Sound good?

And we didn't do anything wrong.

Exactly, Yusuf.

We had absolutely no idea.

We didn't do anything wrong.

That's the phone. The phone!

I'm sure it's the cops.
I don't recognize this number.

I'm sure it's the cops.

Okay. Um... Now, just don't panic.
Pull over and answer the phone.

- What did we just talk about?
- I don't remember anything.

I can't think straight.
What did we just talk about?

Don't panic, Yusuf.
That house is our summer place, okay?

I swear, I'm all over the place.

- I can't talk. You should talk to them.
- Don't make them suspicious.

They're calling you.

They'll think
something's wrong if I answer.

Come on. Just pull over and answer it.

- Hello.
- Good evening.

Why are you calling me?

I'm calling about the mountain lodge.

The mountain lodge, huh?

Yeah, yeah. The mountain lodge.

Look, man, we didn't do anything.

And it's been a very long time
since we were even up there.

Don't you own the place?

Yeah. And so what if I'm the owner?

Just because I own the place,
I gotta be there all the time? I mean...

Give me a break, man!

I'm calling about that place.

Hey, I swear, I've never been
to that mountain lodge in my life.

Why not?

None of your business! You think
I'm always there because it's mine?

We already checked the place out.

I swear on my mother's life
I have no idea what you're talking about.

- About what?
- About what?

This is weird. Is this the wrong number?

What did you find?

- Where?
- At the lodge.

We didn't find anything.
We just checked it out and liked it.

Liked what?

The house!

And the yard?

That's very nice too. Yeah.

It's nice?

By "nice," you mean
there's something in the yard?

Is there something?

Definitely a cop.

- Hello?
- He's fishing.

Yusuf?

You talk to him.

Do not slip up. Okay?

Hello!

Something's wrong with the sound. Hello!

Bad reception, I guess?

Hello? This is Meryem, Yusuf's wife.

Oh, yeah! Meryem, good evening.

Good evening.

I'm calling you about the mountain lodge.

Look, my dear,

you're not the only one
who knows things around here.

Oh, my God.

- I'm curious. What is it?
- You can't ask me that.

My husband has already told you
that we inherited the place from my dad.

So it's a family heirloom
but we rarely go up there.

Every once in a while, you could say.

If you're trying to tell us
that you found something there,

we don't have any idea
about what that would be.

And if you're trying
to be smart and sneaky,

we can see through you.

Oh. Like a negotiation?

My dear, first you would
need to have something to negotiate over.

But did we see anything strange? No.

So what are you negotiating for?

Look, brother.
Who do you think you are?

You really think you could
make me negotiate with you

over a murder that I didn't commit?

Did you see me shoot that arrow?

Did you see me push that woman off the
roof or knock her down? No, you didn't.

All right then, what?

It's obvious they have
some bad blood between them.

And I didn't even touch that girl's hand!

I have a family and I have children.
You understand?

I run a shop in Marmaris.

All my taxes are paid.
Everyone knows where I live.

Anyone can find me.

And the loans I got
from the merchants' association are clean.

I set up a clean life for myself.
You understand?

So please explain
why you still want to negotiate with me!

Oh, dear God. Now I'm confused.

So you're saying
that you're not selling the house?

- Come again?
- We checked out the house. We liked it.

And we really wanna buy it.

But I don't know
what you're talking about.

Do we just call it off?

Yusuf?

Hello?

Um, so you're really
calling about the house?

Yes!

You actually wanna buy the house?

If it's possible.

- Uh, sure. Why don't we talk?
- Yes.

I mean, if it's not a problem,
we wanna buy the house.

We have everything ready. Of course,
if you still wanna sell it, Yusuf.

All right. Uh, so tomorrow, uh, we'll talk

and, uh, come up with the plan.

Sure. Of course.

Yeah, let's make a plan. Yeah!

Okay. Wow, yeah!
I'm sorry to bother you like this.

Oh, no, it's no bother, really.

Well, see you soon.

Okay! See you tomorrow then.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Yeah. Have a good night.

I think
they really wanted to buy the house.

We told him everything.

Yeah, we did.

Do you know exactly
when I made the decision to kill her?

While I was listening to you
yelling at my daughters.

I was there too, you know?

- Ahu, I'm gonna kill you.
- Don't forget, we have a mother too.

- Stay out of it. Give me your phone.
- You want it that much?

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

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

I was
watching you from the yard.

I cried a river.

I had to be with my family.
Do you understand?

And who had taken my place?

That whore.

Shh.

I'm sorry for your loss, Mahmut Timuçin.

But, you see, I had to make a decision.

It was either her or me.

I had to be with my family.
Do you understand me?

Now follow me.

Come on, let's get this over with.

Um, I can't.

- What do you mean?
- No.

You're gonna let me
throw that bitch by myself?

I can't. I can't do it. I can't!

Okay. Then don't. You see what I'm doing?

How much I'm struggling
to keep this family from falling apart?

It's all for this family. For us!

Hey, Mommy.

- Sweetheart?
- Mom, do you know what happened with Dad?

I know, baby. I know, sweetheart.
Don't worry, I handled everything.

What do you mean?

I gave the bitch the final push.

It's finished. She's back in Russia.

But how?

Hey, stop worrying.
I told you. I handled everything.

We'll all be together again.

I'm coming home.
Your father asked me back.

- To be with my family.
- Wait. You can't be serious?

So what?
You two will be together again? Asu!

- Go on. Tell me more.
- He practically got on his knees.

You should've seen it.

"This wouldn't be possible
if not for you."

I said, "Okay, I'm coming home.
There's nothing I want more in the world."

What do you mean? Are you serious, Mom?
Are you coming back to the house again?

Yes, exactly. But I need a favor from you.

- Don't talk to your father about this.
- Asu!

Tell that to Asu as well.

Okay, I gotta go now. Kisses to you both.

God, I can't even tell you how happy I am.
I'm so happy to hear everything.

Dad and I are coming back.
We'll be home together soon.

- Open a bottle of wine.
- You're coming back with Dad?

Okay. I guess I'll see you soon, then.

Come on! Let's go home
and have ourselves a little party.

Do you like my gift?

Mm-hmm. So this is doing all the work?

Mm-hmm. We can go to the site tomorrow,
if you want, to see everything there.

All right. Sounds good.

Okay. I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Is that good for you?

- Okay. Cool.
- Mm-hmm.

- Come on in!
- Mom!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Come on, Mom!

Where's Dad?

Don't be a party pooper. Come on!

Where's Dad?

Dad! Hey!

When he gets here,
I'll give him a good splash.

Hey, that's Mom's. Leave it!

Join us.
The girls want you with us out there.

I want a divorce, Şahinde.

- What?
- You heard me.

Do you realize what you and I
have done together, you idiot?

We've got someone's blood on our hands
and we did it together.

I didn't do anything.
You're the one that killed her.

Doesn't matter!
You helped me get rid of the body.

That makes you an accessory.

You're basically as guilty as I am.
Do you understand that?

Şahinde, you just need
to pack your things and hit the road.

You can leave the rest to me.

What are you talking about?
Are you stupid? I'm not going anywhere.

Don't you see how happy the girls are
with me in the house?

I will not break up this happy family.

Tomorrow,
I'll file the paperwork for divorce.

You and I are done.

Mahmut, come on.
For Pete's sake, don't bring me down now.

Look, I'll get on my knees
and beg you, all right? Mahmut!

Mahmut, just think about it please.

I'll take the girls
and disappear for a month. Okay?

Say something.
I'll go and you can clear your head.

Think about it, all right?
I'm begging you. Please think about it.

It doesn't matter.
The two of us are through.

Don't do this. Please, baby.

You won't even see me, I promise.
You won't even hear me or know I'm around.

I'd be invisible to you.
Just think about it, please.

Think about it. Please, I'm begging you.

Have I ever talked to you

with this kind of
determination before, huh?

Please, I'm asking you nicely.

Leave.

It's not that easy
to break the two of us up, my dear Mahmut.

This is only over when I say it's over.
Do you understand what I'm saying?

Now, for the very last goddamn time,

are we gonna stay together
as a family or not?

- Get out of here, Şahinde.
- Fuck you, you fucking asshole!

Fuck you! Who do you think you are
to kick me out of my goddamn house?

Who are you, huh?

Don't push me!

Keep pushing me
and something bad will happen to you.

- Don't push me again!
- You think you have the balls for that?

You think you have the balls?
Do you have the balls to kill me, bastard?

Get out!

Our story's not quite over yet, Mahmut.

It's not a story that ends easily.

Give me some good news, Akya!

- Is my Yusuf okay?
- Dad's fine, but what happened to you?

Thank God!

I want to be okay
more than anything in this life, you know?

Is Meryem all right?

She's fine. We're all fine.

Good. Good. I'm happy to hear that.

Uncle, are you all right?

I'm a recluse now.

- A what?
- A recluse. You understand?

This life is a vicious cycle.

You shouldn't get carried away, Akya!

I washed my hands clean of everything.

- I quit everything!
- Drinking?

Shall we?
I might have some in the trunk.

I'm asking if you quit drinking too.

Um... That's my loyal comrade.

My closest friend, Akya,
in this big war of mine.

But with God's help, I'll quit that too.

- That's the worst of your problems.
- What?

You really shouldn't
drink that much.

You want some?

My parents
are at the land registry office.

That house on the beach...
They're buying that. They told us today.

- Really? That's great!
- Yeah. It's a great house.

- We're really happy.
- Wow. They're at the office?

Yeah, maybe they already bought it.

I'm happy to hear that!
They've been wanting that place so bad.

Come on. Let's celebrate this.

Let's party together, guys! Huh?

The guy's all about drinking.

- Thank you very much.
- Don't move your head.

- Sounds good. Akya.
- Just keep still.

Section 41-K-1-C of the 27th square,

the stone house inside
the 9,150-square-foot piece of land

is in the process of sale
from Meryem Saadat Inebolu,

daughter of Mustafa,

to Salih Irfanli, son of Mustafa.

You. Meryem Saadat Inebolu,

do you sell the house
of your own free will?

- I do.
- To the camera please.

I do.

You. Salih Irfanli,
do you approve you're buying this house

for two and a half million Turkish lira?

I do.

To the camera please.

Yes, I do!

Can you confirm
that you received your money in full?

- Uh...
- Stay where you are, sir.

- Oh, sorry.
- I do.

To the camera please.

I do.

On behalf of the land office of Marmaris,

I approve this transaction.
Best of luck to you all.

Best of luck.

Best of luck to you too.

- Sign here please.
- Please.

Right here.

Here.

- I'm very happy, Yusuf.
- Oh, I'm happy too, Meryem.

Let's call the guy.

- You mean Mahmut?
- Mm-hmm.

We shouldn't walk around
with that much money.

- Let's give it to its rightful owner.
- I'll call him now.

When I get to the house,
imagine me finding a body.

Dead. Lying there.

Covered in blood.

Great! Yeah, that was funny.

I open the door. I look inside.

- And there it is! Staring back at me!
- What would you do, right?

Right. What would you do?
What would you do, man?

- Best of luck.
- Best of luck to you, man.

- Best of luck to you as well.
- Best of luck to you.

I'm so glad to meet you guys.
Please, just because you sold the house,

doesn't mean you're always welcome.

Oh, of course. We'd love that.

See you then. Best of luck to you.

- See you later.
- Best of luck to all of us.

What do you think?

Even if the body's still there,
that's none of our concern.

- We sold the house. We had no idea.
- Right. We had no idea.

Mm-hmm. Just call the guy.

Yeah, I'm calling him.

Yeah, it's Mahmut.

Uh, good day to you, sir.

Um, we're calling
about the house on the beach.

I was on your boat with my wife
the other day, if you remember?

Yeah. Yeah, I remember. Go on.

Uh, well, we have the money with us, sir,

so we thought we could, uh...
I mean, everything seems in order,

so if it's all right with you,
we'd like to close the deal today.

Your name's Yusuf, isn't it?

The manager
of the land registry is friend of mine.

And I'm on the boat right now.

My guys can pick you up,

bring you here
and arrange things with the office. Hmm?

Deal.

He seems intimidating,
but I think he's actually a nice guy.

Yeah, a very nice guy.

He's welcoming us in
before anyone else, Yusuf.

Normally, that doesn't happen.

It doesn't, right?
