1
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,240
THE MUSEUM OF INNOCENCE

2
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,880
Oh!

3
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,560
<i>We have now come to the confession scene.</i>

4
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,040
<i>Before my parents returned</i>
<i>from the summer house,</i>

5
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,000
<i>Sibel threw an end-of-summer party for me,</i>
<i>thinking it would be good for me.</i>

6
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,200
You were all over her! You were
all over her right in front of me.

7
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,640
We're going swimming in Kilyos.
Hey, does your mom have suits?

8
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,840
Just take a look.

9
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:18,600
Hey, you know she was a lovely,
interesting woman, your mother.

10
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,280
She's still alive.

11
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,640
Look, darling, I found the swimsuits.

12
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,280
- Let's see.
- This'd look good…

13
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,600
- Kemal.
- This one?

14
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,560
- Yeah, that's the one you should wear.
- Kemal. Get up, come on, we're going.

15
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,760
You go, Sibel and I
will join you guys later.

16
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,320
We'd better be going, I suppose.

17
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:40,520
Come on, guys, let's go.

18
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,640
Make sure you come.

19
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,640
I got it, I got it!

20
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,360
<i>This was</i>
<i>my last happy memory with my fiancée.</i>

21
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Okay, hurry up, I don't want to be late.

22
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,240
So, where were you yesterday?

23
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,040
I tried to call you more than once,

24
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,120
and they said you weren't at the office.

25
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,560
If it's awkward, then I'm…
Well, just don't tell me anything.

26
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,720
Kemal.

27
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,120
This spring, when my parents
took us both out to the Fuaye…

28
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,840
Of course, what about it?

29
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,680
Well, there was this purse you liked
at a nearby shop on our way out,

30
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,400
so we stopped in to look.

31
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,320
Kemal, what is it you're trying to say?

32
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,280
The next day I came to the shop to get you
that same bag as a little surprise.

33
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,960
That's when I met up with Füsun, a cousin.

34
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080
And she came to our party, right?
She sat at our table?

35
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,120
Mm-hmm.

36
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,400
You realized it was a fake purse
and said to take it back.

37
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,000
Yes. To get your money back.

38
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,320
That's why I went back.

39
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Like you told me.

40
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,720
Later on, Füsun brought the money to
my mom's place at the Merhamet building.

41
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,200
Merhamet Apartments? Are you serious?

42
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,000
<i>So then</i>
<i>I started to tell her the whole story,</i>

43
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,680
<i>right from the very beginning.</i>

44
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,760
Really, it's just
a pre-marital indulgence to me, Sibel.

45
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,080
<i>She just brought money at first.</i>

46
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,160
I tried to fight the urge.

47
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,600
<i>I couldn't resist. I kissed her.</i>

48
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,040
- I fell for her.
<i>- I left everything…</i>

49
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,720
<i>- I was ashamed of what I did.</i>
<i>- The glasses…</i>

50
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,920
<i>- I couldn't resist, so I went back.</i>
<i>- I couldn't resist.</i>

51
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,600
<i>- I was so ashamed.</i>
<i>- Ashamed.</i>

52
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,840
<i>- I kissed her.</i>
<i>- Ashamed.</i>

53
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,920
God, you disgust me!

54
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,080
You're such a bastard! Why, Kemal?

55
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,480
God, I hope you burn in hell!

56
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,680
This is unbelievable!
Goddammit, how could you?

57
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,240
You're such a bastard!

58
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
What's wrong with you? How could you?

59
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,720
I can't believe you!

60
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,680
How could you do this?

61
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,680
- Cheating with some shop employee?
- Sibel, calm down.

62
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,000
- Don't touch me, get off me!
- This relationship is long over.

63
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,280
Do you still go and meet her?

64
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,640
I broke it off.

65
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,280
Don't you dare lie.

66
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,840
Once I got engaged,
I said I couldn't see her anymore.

67
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,600
And then she up and vanished.

68
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,320
Are you still hung up on her, is that it?

69
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,960
<i>What man with a heart</i>
<i>could have said yes to that question?</i>

70
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,440
No, she's nothing to me.

71
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,720
What's made you unhappy, then, Kemal?

72
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,080
Everybody has been hurt by my choice.

73
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,160
I cheated on you, plus I treated
a young woman horribly, it's…

74
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,680
crushed any happiness I had.

75
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,160
What are you trying to say?

76
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,840
Then where were you yesterday?

77
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,320
Just say it!

78
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Merhamet Apartment building.

79
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,040
How often did you meet with her there?

80
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,520
Why won't you answer me?

81
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,960
Answer me!

82
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,960
Sibel?

83
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,480
Sibel?

84
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,360
Sibel!

85
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,640
Don't let the tea get cold.

86
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,960
If you're hungry,
I had fresh bread delivered earlier.

87
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,000
Maybe you'd rather have
some slices that I've toasted?

88
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,680
What you think you had with her
was just a temporary distraction.

89
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,880
It isn't going to last.

90
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,000
I'll take care of you now.

91
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,360
If you let me help you,
this mistake doesn't need to be the end.

92
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,480
<i>At that moment,</i>

93
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:09,360
<i>I realized only Sibel's determination</i>
<i>could save me from my pain.</i>

94
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Anything you ask me, I'll do.

95
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,080
I think that we'd better leave.

96
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,560
This area should really be avoided.

97
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,320
Whatever could make you remember things.

98
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,280
How do we manage that?

99
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,360
My parents decided
to go back to Ankara for the winter.

100
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,120
You and I can stay
in their empty mansion together.

101
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,560
Okay, sweetheart.

102
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Okay.

103
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,160
<i>I thought</i>
<i>the excitement of starting a new life</i>

104
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,000
<i>would enable me</i>
<i>to recover from my illness.</i>

105
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,440
- Good morning.
- <i>I was rediscovering</i>

106
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,600
<i>the beauties of my life</i>
<i>that I thought I had forgotten.</i>

107
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:25,760
How are you?

108
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,480
Just look, this place is so beautiful,
don't you think so?

109
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,240
I need a little help, my hands are full.

110
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,480
Hold on. Can you just get the key for me?

111
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,520
<i>Sibel and I were like a happy couple,</i>
<i>happy whose love was enough for them.</i>

112
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:48,360
Hey! We're here!

113
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,680
The lovers!

114
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Sweet lovebirds, aw! Having dinner?

115
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:53,880
It's amazing to see you guys!
How are you both?

116
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,840
<i>We thought</i>
<i>the pleasures of the mansion life</i>

117
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,320
<i>would make me happy again.</i>

118
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,120
<i>But due to the never-ending ache</i>

119
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,240
<i>that lived in the left side of my stomach,</i>

120
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,520
<i>I couldn't manage to make love to Sibel.</i>

121
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,280
<i>I could tell Sibel's feelings toward me</i>
<i>were gradually shifting.</i>

122
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,640
<i>I sensed her contempt and hatred.</i>

123
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:45,880
Kemal.

124
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,880
Kemal.

125
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,880
- Honey.
- Come back to bed.

126
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,920
<i>The sea grew cold</i>
<i>with the north wind that came in October.</i>

127
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,080
<i>Our friends stopped dropping in</i>
<i>as they had been.</i>

128
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,160
Why are you so down again, Kemal?

129
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,960
My brother and Mr. Turgay
founded a new company with Kenan.

130
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,240
And they're going to bid on
that lucrative bedsheet deal through it.

131
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,400
Kenan…

132
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,400
…wasn't he the one who was
such a great dancer at the engagement?

133
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Mm.

134
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,200
So now is Kenan going to be

135
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,760
the successful manager of
this brand-new company?

136
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,440
They're playing and fixing the game
to make themselves some extra cash.

137
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,240
Honey, this is more than
just some extra cash.

138
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,520
In fact, it's a great deal more, you know?

139
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,880
You can't just let them
disregard and exploit you like this.

140
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,680
- You need to fight for your share, Kemal.
- Doesn't matter.

141
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,960
I don't like this side of you.

142
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,040
Retreating from everything,
just letting it all go for nothing.

143
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:10,080
Like you actually enjoy getting beaten.

144
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,080
It's not that you're in love with another
woman at this point, I'm sure of it.

145
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,120
Being in love with someone else
isn't the problem here.

146
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,440
It's that you don't love me.

147
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,280
Then why am I still here with you, Sibel?

148
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:43,440
You tell me.

149
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Why can't I even think of making it
past a day without my hand in yours?

150
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,160
You're clinging on.

151
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,760
But not out of anything
that resembles love.

152
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,360
You want to think you're a victim here.

153
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,640
But why? Do you really think
that I'd play the victim?

154
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,080
I think that what you love most
is indulging your pain

155
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,720
and acting like the rest is beneath you.

156
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,560
But, my love,

157
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,760
I think it's high time you truly came back
to what matters, don't you?

158
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,160
This'll pass soon, these hard days.

159
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,160
We can have children.

160
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,200
We're going to be one big, happy family.

161
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,880
And we'll enjoy our life together.

162
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,760
We'll have daughters who look like you.

163
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,440
We'll be very happy, Sibel. I promise you.

164
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,720
These days I'm struggling
to believe it anymore.

165
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Am I really that hopeless to you?

166
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,880
I guess maybe I seem hopeless
to myself, honey.

167
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,680
I just worry that
now I'm losing all my looks.

168
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,520
Hang on, you're prettier than anyone else.

169
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,440
You're gorgeous.

170
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:57,920
Sibel.

171
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,240
No, I want to go!

172
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,680
To where?

173
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,640
Why not the Fuaye? To Nişantaşı, okay?

174
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,760
I thought we're not supposed to.

175
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,120
I don't want to sit here and cry anymore,

176
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,880
pitying ourselves as more of that
rusty tap water drips out. That's enough.

177
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,200
They still haven't gotten married?

178
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,280
And they're living together
in the mansion.

179
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,280
What happened, Kemal?
Were you able to reach Nurcihan?

180
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:39,480
No, I wasn't. I guess
the telephone here must be broken.

181
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,160
Oh-ho, hey, a romantic dinner, huh?

182
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,520
That's so nice!

183
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,680
We're all talking about
you two lovebirds, y'know?

184
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,080
The word is the two of you
are so in love that now,

185
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,800
apparently, you think that marriage might
somehow kill all the romance entirely,

186
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,880
just like those modern Europeans do.

187
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,400
Of course, some say the mansion is cursed.

188
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,040
Well, enjoy your meal,
I've gotta head out.

189
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,760
Want me to try Nurcihan again,
or maybe order our meal?

190
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,360
Just wait a little bit.

191
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,520
Somewhere near here must have a phone.

192
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,000
Find one then, Kemal.

193
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,040
- <i>Hello?</i>
- Mehmet, it's me, Kemal.

194
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:40,840
<i>Oh, Kemal, what's up?</i>

195
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,880
Yeah, hey, listen.
Sibel and I are in Nişantaşı tonight

196
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,800
at the Fuaye for some dinner now.

197
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:48,800
It'd be great to meet
for some food, y'know?

198
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,840
We'd like to see you…

199
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,320
<i>Kemal, we miss you too. Let me</i>
<i>talk to Nurcihan and we'll come over.</i>

200
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,440
<i>Be there in half an hour.</i>

201
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:56,840
We'll be at the Fuaye, come by.

202
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:57,880
<i>Okay, see ya.</i>

203
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,680
It's so dull, right?

204
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,920
It sounds so calming,
like the sea is in my ear.

205
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,760
Let's go somewhere else after this.

206
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,480
- Let's go to a music hall.
- A music hall?

207
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,720
Listen to some <i>fasıl.</i>

208
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,720
We can drive to Bosphorus
and have tea in the car.

209
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:00,760
- Tea? C'mon.
- Yeah!

210
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,280
But the tripe at the Kasımpaşa joint
is what I want now.

211
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,440
Sorry I'm coming late, everyone.

212
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,040
Something unexpected happened.

213
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:22,360
- Just come and sit down.
- Yeah, forget about it.

214
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,560
No worries, pal, sit here, sit. Sit.
Yeah, c'mon, be happy now.

215
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,800
Oh, I'm happy already.

216
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,560
<i>Sibel had figured out</i>
<i>what I'd been doing, and she was furious.</i>

217
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,440
<i>I could feel that she'd decided</i>
<i>I was never going to get better.</i>

218
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,440
Sorry, I need a second.

219
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,200
Kemal.

220
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,400
You really upset and hurt her.

221
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,520
Don't leave her
sitting at a table all alone.

222
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,200
She loves you so much.

223
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,680
<i>I was expecting Sibel</i>
<i>to take some kind of revenge against me,</i>

224
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,600
<i>one to reclaim her self-respect.</i>

225
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,200
<i>But if she broke off the engagement,</i>

226
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,360
<i>society would scorn her for some time</i>
<i>for having lived with me before marriage.</i>

227
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,200
Nurcihan has plans to go to Paris.
I want to go.

228
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:02,360
Go to Paris?

229
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,080
She wants to shop before she gets engaged
and married to Mehmet.

230
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,440
She was determined, so I promised.

231
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,760
So when will you go?

232
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,040
Immediately.
She's looking at plane tickets.

233
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,000
I think that's a great plan.

234
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,040
A change of scenery might do us both good.

235
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,200
And once you get back, we'll start over.

236
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,680
KUYULU BOSTAN STREET

237
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,280
<i>Once Sibel left for Paris,</i>

238
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:47,800
<i>I began looking for Füsun</i>
<i>with everything I had.</i>

239
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,800
<i>I met with her friend Ceyda.</i>

240
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,680
<i>I begged her to tell me where Füsun was.</i>
<i>I even offered her money.</i>

241
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,600
Listen to me, please, Mr. Kemal.
Let's pretend this never happened.

242
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,000
<i>But all I could find out</i>
<i>was that she was somewhere in Istanbul.</i>

243
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,600
<i>Hoping I might run into Füsun,</i>
<i>I began wandering through all of Istanbul.</i>

244
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,880
<i>Neighborhood by neighborhood,</i>
<i>street by street.</i>

245
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,320
Füsun.

246
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,920
Füsun!

247
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,320
<i>After that incident,</i>
<i>I started to see Füsun in random crowds,</i>

248
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,680
<i>as if I was catching</i>
<i>a glimpse of her ghost.</i>

249
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,680
<i>My next sighting of her</i>
<i>happened in a movie theater.</i>

250
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,920
<i>Ah…</i>

251
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,880
<i>The delicate grace of her figure</i>
<i>sent a jolt through me.</i>

252
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,440
<i>I wanted to call out her name,</i>
<i>as if in a dream.</i>

253
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,720
<i>Of course…</i>

254
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,400
<i>it wasn't Füsun.</i>

255
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,560
<i>Whenever I walked the streets of Istanbul,</i>
<i>I saw the fleeting ghosts of Füsun.</i>

256
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,520
<i>There for a brief moment,</i>
<i>then vanishing again.</i>

257
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,480
<i>I stayed to wait out a rainy night</i>
<i>at the Fatih Hotel,</i>

258
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,000
<i>and there, for the first time in months,</i>
<i>I slept peacefully.</i>

259
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,840
<i>Being apart from my beloved is death</i>

260
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,120
{\an8}CENTRAL HEATING IS WORKING

261
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,920
HOTEL LOUNGE

262
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,040
What's up, Şakir?

263
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,200
Ah, Mr. Kemal.

264
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,680
Here, I brought your things
from the mansion.

265
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,480
Please take them
up to the hotel room, Çetin.

266
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,360
I'm going to be staying here for now.

267
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,400
Please pick me up here
for work, all right?

268
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,920
Whatever you would like, sir.

269
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,280
<i>Such cruel fate, such oppression</i>

270
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,880
DOWN WITH IMPERIALISM

271
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,520
<i>But I realized there was</i>
<i>another reason I felt at peace</i>

272
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,600
<i>walking along the streets of Istanbul,</i>
<i>apart from being closer to Füsun.</i>

273
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,840
<i>The European lifestyle</i>
<i>my wealthy father curated for us</i>

274
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,920
<i>had kept me distant</i>
<i>from the simple pleasures in life.</i>

275
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,760
Hey, how're you doing?

276
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,840
<i>And now, in these muddy outskirts,</i>

277
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,920
<i>I felt like I was seeking out</i>
<i>some essential missing core of existence.</i>

278
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,280
{\an8}FULLY INDEPENDENT TURKEY

279
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,160
Thank you, dear.

280
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,800
<i>They say you left the mansion, Kemal.</i>

281
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,320
I have, yes.

282
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,680
<i>But you're not going</i>
<i>to your parents' house at night either.</i>

283
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,560
Mm-hmm, I haven't been.

284
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,000
<i>Then where are you staying, and why?</i>

285
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,280
<i>Have you gone back to her?</i>

286
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,800
<i>Please tell me the truth.</i>

287
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:02,480
<i>Kemal.</i>

288
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,000
No, I haven't met with her.

289
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,760
<i>Wait, I can't hear you, Kemal.</i>

290
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,680
I said I haven't gone back to her!

291
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,840
I said I haven't gone back to her, okay?

292
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:14,880
Can you hear me, Sibel?

293
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,040
<i>Kemal, I can't hear you, please--</i>

294
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,920
<i>Kemal, are you there? Can you hear me?</i>

295
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,040
I'm here, Sibel, I'm here,
I promise I'm not back with her, I swear.

296
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,680
<i>I just want you to be honest.</i>

297
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,080
I swear I am, all right?

298
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:27,480
<i>I see, then.</i>

299
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,000
Sibel!

300
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:30,960
Sibel?

301
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,760
Sibel!

302
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,280
<i>The Paris line disconnected, sir.</i>

303
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,280
<i>Would you like me to connect you again?</i>

304
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,680
No, that's fine, thank you.

305
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,920
<i>Sibel never called me</i>
<i>from Paris again, not once.</i>

306
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,400
<i>What do people say?</i>

307
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,800
That you've totally lost it,
and you're crazy into the nightlife scene.

308
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,080
Is that all?

309
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,640
And you've joined
some kind of a cult in Fatih.

310
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,720
That you're a communist convert,

311
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,480
out there trying to prove yourself
by living in a shanty town.

312
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,960
It's hard to see.

313
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,080
You're running away and turning into
the type who wallows in depression now.

314
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,600
No, I'm fine, all right?

315
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:39,920
You seem unhappy, though.

316
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,120
Happiness isn't the point of my existence.

317
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,800
I prefer the kind of life
that brings peace.

318
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,880
- Just talk to your friends, man.
- Who do you mean, then?

319
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,120
Come on now, Kemal.

320
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,720
I thought you and I are close, man.

321
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:57,800
We are.

322
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,040
We're going to Uludağ.

323
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,040
Which means?

324
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,080
Me, Mehmet, Nurcihan,

325
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,440
and Sibel.

326
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,960
So Sibel's back from Paris?

327
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,120
Ten days, yeah.
And she wants you to come along.

328
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,160
That's supposed to be secret, so remember,

329
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:25,080
it wasn't me who spilled,
and please don't act stupid, Kemal.

330
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,200
I'll just stay home, then.

331
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,200
Just come, man.

332
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,120
Really. You need this trip.
You should forget all of this.

333
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,360
Sibel really loves you, Kemal.

334
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,440
She really loves you.

335
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,160
She'll help you pull it all back together.

336
00:34:43,240 --> 00:34:44,240
Ah.

337
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,560
Is that so, Zaim?

338
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,720
Kemal, you aren't making great choices.

339
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,040
Anybody could end up
in love with the wrong girl.

340
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,160
We all want love, you know?

341
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:57,800
But most people fall out of it again

342
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,560
before it ends up
ruining their entire life.

343
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,880
But you love romantic stuff
more than anybody, Zaim.

344
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,880
That's right, man.

345
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,240
So trust me on this one fact:

346
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,840
people in romance tales
that pull this stuff don't end up on top.

347
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,040
How's that?

348
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,600
Kemal, it was just half a year ago
that you got engaged at the Hilton

349
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,440
in front of almost the entire city.

350
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:21,920
It was a great night.

351
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,120
Then you started living together
in that mansion,

352
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,000
throwing parties before you were married.

353
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,760
Everyone thought it was very modern.

354
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,560
But you've moved out of the mansion.

355
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,560
What's up with you, Kemal?

356
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,400
You breaking up with her?

357
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,200
You haven't explained anything,
you're acting like a child.

358
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,120
I explained to Sibel.

359
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,200
No, you didn't.

360
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,760
She doesn't understand it,
or know how to explain the situation.

361
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,040
Please come help her!

362
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,040
What can she say?

363
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,040
"My husband-to-be took up with a clerk,
so we're on a break," really?

364
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,080
She's very upset.

365
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,560
Talk about it to her.

366
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,800
Go with us to Uludağ.
I know that you two can kiss and make up.

367
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,080
I'm positive, come.

368
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,480
It's better I stay here,
no matter the pain it brings.

369
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,560
But you're right.

370
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,800
It's time for me to speak to her.

371
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,440
Your parents all right?

372
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:37,400
They're fine.

373
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,800
They haven't heard yet
about our situation.

374
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,720
Good, it's better to keep quiet.

375
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:44,600
Yes, it's better.

376
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,160
So what do we do now, then?

377
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,560
My father's been getting withdrawn lately,
more and more.

378
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,560
I see that illness of yours
is still going strong.

379
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,000
What?

380
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,360
We've been waiting for that to pass
for months, you know.

381
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,320
I guess all of my patience didn't help.
It's too bad you won't recover.

382
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,680
There's no illness.

383
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,680
But we both agreed
that you were sick at the mansion before,

384
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:25,920
do you remember?

385
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:28,680
Yes, we did.

386
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:31,360
So what happened?

387
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,240
Do you think treating your soon-to-be wife
like garbage seems normal?

388
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,320
- Cheating with some silly shop girl?
- And why is that what matters, Sibel?

389
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,960
What's it got to do with the store,
or wealth, or poverty, anyway?

390
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,600
It's about being poor, Kemal.

391
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,880
You had a very easy time with her only
because she was ambitious and in poverty.

392
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,440
If the girl hadn't been a shop clerk,

393
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,600
you'd have married her,
no matter what anyone thought.

394
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,320
It's making you sick now.

395
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,600
They have no soul.
They have no adventurous soul.

396
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,920
You should suffer.

397
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,000
I don't love her like you think.

398
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,960
This isn't normal, acting like this
over some girl at a shop.

399
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,960
But now you've lost your mind.

400
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,040
You're hiding out in Fatih

401
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,120
in that cheap, dingy hotel,
Kemal, is that the dream?

402
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,440
- Let's talk to Hilmi before he leaves.
- Just stop it.

403
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,120
- Why? Hilmi's such a good guy.
- Please focus on us!

404
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,080
I'm sorry.

405
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,840
One more thing to talk about.

406
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,440
Though I hate to mention it to you now.

407
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,320
What is it now?

408
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,240
Virginity.

409
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,760
If we're modern,
then it won't mean much to you.

410
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,400
But if any of our traditions
still matter at all,

411
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,720
for example, wanting to marry a virgin,
like me before I knew you…

412
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,840
how about treating us all
with respect, then?

413
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,360
Kemal, there's one more thing
I can never forgive you for.

414
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:40,280
Making empty promises to end it,
but just to ease your conscience?

415
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,840
Why not just break the engagement?

416
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,360
And why carry on
staying together at the house with me

417
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,360
when you never meant to get married?

418
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,000
I don't know.

419
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,640
But I really am very sorry, Sibel.

420
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,000
<i>I wouldn't see her for 30 years.</i>

421
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,360
<i>My father died of heart failure at dawn,</i>

422
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,800
<i>as he lay between sleep</i>
<i>and wakefulness during the morning prayer.</i>

423
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,480
<i>It felt like the very center</i>
<i>of my life fell away,</i>

424
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,400
<i>and the earth swallowed up my past.</i>

425
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,400
Kemal is here.

426
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:33,560
<i>In spite of all the sorrow,</i>

427
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,720
<i>a secret excitement stirred within me</i>
<i>that I couldn't deny.</i>

428
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,000
<i>Füsun might come to the funeral.</i>

429
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,280
<i>But the day I buried my father</i>

430
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,560
<i>was the day I understood that I'd never</i>
<i>see Füsun again for the rest of my life.</i>

431
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,800
<i>Füsun and her family didn't come</i>
<i>to the funeral because of me.</i>

432
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,560
<i>I knew this meant that</i>
<i>they would go on avoiding me forever.</i>

433
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,560
I heard you claim
Kenan's been ruining the company.

434
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:41,880
Osman, another time, come on.

435
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:43,560
You heard that?

436
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:44,640
I have ears.

437
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,200
You disgraced yourself in society,

438
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,880
- don't do it at the company, too.
- Wait, why are you two arguing?

439
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,880
Let's eat dinner, stop fighting, now.

440
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,080
Kemal, coming home
has really been nice, right?

441
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:04,800
Yes, it has.

442
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,520
No matter what anyone says.

443
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,080
The most important thing in life
is to be happy.

444
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,400
Something your father talked about,
didn't he?

445
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,680
- Would you please, Mrs. Fatma?
- Yes, ma'am.

446
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,560
Come and take my plate away, thank you.

447
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,600
You shouldn't go on living
in some cheap hotel, though, promise me.

448
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,040
On one condition.

449
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,120
Let me have both the car and Mr. Çetin.

450
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,160
All right.

451
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,080
And stay out of the new business too.

452
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:09,240
Okay.

453
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,280
What, Mrs. Fatma?

454
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,120
Hey, Mr. Clawnails.

455
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,040
Guess you don't rip your socks anymore,
huh? I'm thrilled, really!

456
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:38,120
It means you cut your nails now.

457
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,280
So here, I have a little present,
and it's just for you.

458
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,960
Come here. It was months ago, I think.

459
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,120
I found it in the pocket of your jacket.

460
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,720
So I went and put it
somewhere safe for you.

461
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,600
But then your mother found it first.

462
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,240
I guess she assumed it had
something to do with your father's…

463
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,640
Well, it's no matter.

464
00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:02,640
She went and she put it
in the velvet pouch she keeps secret.

465
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:04,400
But when she lined it up
with all the things

466
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,360
from the pouch on your father's desk,

467
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,920
I saw it and I took it back, because
I recognized right away that it was yours.

468
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:15,760
You are so smart.

469
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,280
You're exactly right.

470
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,280
You're the greatest.

471
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,080
- You have phone calls in an hour.
- Got it, Mrs. Zeynep.

472
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,240
These are the letters from the dealers.

473
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:30,600
Thanks.

474
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,600
<i>It was a busy day in mid-May.</i>

475
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:46,960
<i>Most of the letters were handwritten notes</i>
<i>expressing thanks, complaints and threats.</i>

476
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:54,480
<i>Except for one.</i>

477
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,560
<i>Brother Kemal, we'd love to see you.</i>

478
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,000
<i>We'll expect you for dinner</i>
<i>on May the 19th.</i>

479
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,400
<i>Our phone line isn't connected yet.</i>

480
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,000
<i>If you can't come,</i>
<i>please send word with Mr. Çetin.</i>

481
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,320
<i>With our love and respects, Füsun.</i>

482
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,760
<i>On Wednesday, May 19th, 1976,</i>

483
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,880
<i>at half past 7:00 in the evening…</i>

484
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,360
<i>…Mr. Çetin and I set off</i>
<i>to go to Füsun's house in Çukurcuma.</i>

485
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,600
<i>339 days exactly.</i>

486
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,160
<i>Finally, my suffering would end.</i>

487
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:52,000
<i>And as soon as I could be sure</i>
<i>this was actually Füsun,</i>

488
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,840
<i>I was going to propose to her.</i>

489
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,240
Come on in, come in!

490
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,000
Good evening.

491
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,560
Welcome, Mr. Kemal.

492
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,840
- Thank you, Mr. Tarık.
- Oh, slippers, they're--

493
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,440
- Over there.
- How are you, Aunt Nesibe?

494
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,800
Oh, just fine, Mr. Kemal. For you.

495
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,360
- Appreciate it.
- Good to see you.

496
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,800
Come on in. This way, please.

497
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,400
We're living upstairs here.

498
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,120
Those roses are so beautiful.

499
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,520
- Aren't they pretty?
- Mm-hmm.

500
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,600
Brother Kemal,
this is my husband, Feridun.

501
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:38,840
We got married five months ago.
