Hello can I speak to ms. Gulseren please?
She's not available right now.
Oh is that right?
Who am I speaking to?
I'm Cihan Gurpinar, who am I speaking to?
Her daughter, Hazal.
Hazal can you tell your mom to call me back when she can?
I can help you, what's the topic?
It's better if I talk to your mom, have a nice day
You too.
Did someone call?
Yes someone called.
Who?
Someone named Mr. Cihan
Mom what the hell are you doing?
How are you speaking to me like that! What do you mean what am I doing?
You know what I mean.
Gulseren, what's happening, why are other people's men calling you?
You're married mom, married, married! Just because my dad isn't here doesn't
mean you can go out with other men.
Hazal what are you saying! I'm not going around with anyone.
Do you think I'm dumb? I understand everything, all the dressing fancy..
and late night phone calls and you searched him on the internet
but you forgot to erase the history.
Shut up!
Why should she shut up? Answer her, who is this man? (Keriman)
Sister don't interrupt!
I'll interrupt if I want. I'll beat you up.
ENOUGH!
Who is that man, mom who is he!
Enough. Get away from me.
Mom who is that man. Who Who Who!
That man is your real dad, do you understand? Your real dad.
You got pregnant with another man's kid and said it my brother's?
Whore! I'll cut you up.
Stop! Just stop! There's nothing like that.
How? How is he her real dad then.
I didn't give birth to Hazal I'm not her real mom.
What what are you saying?
The babies got switched in the hospital. They gave us Cihan's baby and they have
our baby.
Hazal, you're my daughter. Nothing is gonna change.
You're always gonna be mine.
When did you find out?
Just recently, yesterday.
Yesterday. Why didn't you tell me?
I was going to, I meet up with Cihan today and was gonna tell you tonight.
Hazal, open the door lets talk. Nothing is going to change.
I love you so much Hazal.
Honey I was gonna tell you tonight.
Move!
Hazal stop don't go!
Gulseren what's up with you? Where's Hazal going?
Go inside go!
Ok let me go it's none of your business.
She's lost her mind.
Phone, phone. Hazal open the phone.
Why are you so worried, she's not your daughter..who are you calling?
Hello Seyda, I'm good sweetie, is Hazal at your house?
Can you tell me if she comes? Ok just ring my phone.
Hazal isn't your daughter or Ozkan's and I'm not her aunt?
What are we gonna do with this situation? Answer me Gulseren!
I can't talk right now. Can't you see.
I want my own family, my own family. All these years I took care of some
stranger's kid.
If she isn't my niece...
What kind of person are you? Do you not have a conscience?
You raised Hazal, you took care of her how is she a stranger now?
If I knew I wouldn't have!
Enough! Hazal is my daughter, MINE!
Cihan did you talk to them, are they coming?
I did, she was busy so I'm gonna call again.
Ok, let me know. I might have an appointment that day.
Where are you going like that, are you going out?
Yes I'm taking Handan out to lunch.
Of course, family, the house..doesn't matter.
Huh what tell me?
Nothing.
Where are you going?
Since we can't sit at home like a family I'm gonna go work.
Cihan I'm not going for fun, she's gonna promote me I need to talk with her.
Derya are you at the shop?
What happened, Gulseren tell me what happened.
Hazal left!
Ok let's meet at the cafe near the shop.
Ozkan open the phone, c'mon. You never open it when I need you.
Welcome.
Hello Ms Emine.
Cansu you're soaking wet. Where did you get wet?
I got caught in the rain while riding my horse.
Go change your clothes.
Is my mom home?
No.
Did she go to her charity again?
I don't know she didn't say anything.
She could feel then that I wasn't her daughter.
I'm so scared Derya what if something happened to her?
Stop. Don't think of bad things. Let's see where would she go?
She didn't go to Seyda's or her other friends or you.
Where is this girl?
I have something in mind...
What?
Mr. Cihan..since she found out he's her dad.
Ha what else? She doesn't know him, how is she gonna find him?
Internet, you can find everything on there.
Call Cihan and ask if she went there.
What if she didn't?
Tell he'll say she didn't.
Then he'll think I'm a bad mother and say "why can't she take care of her daughter"
If he does then whatever, the important thing is finding Hazal.
Hello Ms. Gulseren?
Cansu opened it.
Talk, what is she saying?
Ms Gulseren is that you?
Cansu.
It's me, I'm so happy to hear your voice. How are you?
I'm good thank you, how are you?
I'm good too.
School work is going good too hopefully.
It's ok forget it.
I was gonna talk to your dad.
He forgot his phone at home
Oh god.
If you want I can leave him a note
No it's ok I'll call later.
Have a good day
She wasn't happy.
Who wasn't? Who was that?
My mom. My real mother.
What?
God why me, Emine it's enough I'm tired and I have no one.
Cansu, sweetie.
I broke the girl's heart ugh, she thinks I don't like her.
How am I gonna fix that?
Gulseren slow down, calm down.
How do you know she thinks that?
From her voice.
It's ok forget it, think about how you're gonna find Hazal.
I don't know..can't even reach Mr Cihan.
Should you go to his office? Do you know where it is?
Yes but wouldn't that be wrong?
Why would that be wrong you're looking for your daughter.
You're right..
C'mon get up, what are you waiting for?
Thank you so much Derya.
C'mon go go go.
Good day, I was looking for Cihan, Cihan Gurpinar.
Who are you?
His daughter, Hazal.
Wait what?
Merel, can I have my cellphone?
Hello.
Hazal?
Let's go inside.
Did she say she's his daughter?
So your mom told you, you know everything?
I'm your daughter apparently.
Yes. Apparently. We just found out you know.
Come let me hug you.
You're my daddy, you're my dad.
Solmaz, is Dilara beside you?
Yes why?
Get far away from her right now, I have huge news & she can't hear.
Okay one min May I be excused?
Ok tell me, fast, what happened?
Cihan has a kid from another woman.
What! You're joking.
No, she came to his office, she's around 14-15 years old.
What when?
It's been two mins, she said "I'm your daughter" to him.
Alper, I can't believe it
Me too, I'm in shock right now in his office.
This is my office, I work here.
Wow it's really nice, I love the furniture
Nice, yes but do you wanna talk somewhere else?
I'm tongue tied, he probably cheated while Dilara was pregnant
Do you think she knows?
I highly doubt it. Even Cihan was shocked.
Let me tell you, Dilara won't let him get away with this
Of course she won't, hard days are waiting for Cihan.
Ok I have to go now, bye.
Solmaz, are you ok, is there a problem?
Yeah I'm fine, I don't have a problem.
There's a dinner tonight, Zubeyde are you coming?
Sorry miss I can't come.
Then we're four people, Aylin!
Good day, can I see mr. cihan?
He just left.
Oh when will he be back?
I don't know.
Ok thank you.
Excuse me, who should I say called?
It's not a big deal, I'll call him later. Can I ask something?
Was there a girl who's around 15 with him?
Yes there was a young lady with him. Mr. Alper?
Keep your mouth closed don't tell anyone! I'm leaving.
Does your mom know you're with me?
I'm guessing she doesn't. She's probably worried about you.
No she's isn't.
Maybe you should call her?
No there's no need.
Hazal I've met your mom, she loves you and is probably really worried.
If you want you can call from my phone.
You don't know Gulseren well.
Gulseren...
She's not my real mom & you know that.
What happened did you find her?
Like we thought she went to see Mr. Cihan his secretary said they just left.
Oh good!
What's good about that!
At least nothing bad happened to her and she's with an adult.
The adult is her dad..
And so what?
He's gonna take her away from me, what am I gonna do Derya?
Stop stop. Sevgi I'm leaving early!
What about our boss?
Let's go you're not gonna calm down here.
It's so nice here I really like it.
Yes. Your food is here.
Thank you. Aren't you eating?
No I ate late, enjoy.
Wouldn't a person call and say don't worry your daughter is with me?
He forgot his phone at home.
Can he not find another phone?
How do you know he didn't tell her to call Maybe he did but she didn't want to.
That's true. You know Hazal is not gonna want to stay with me.
What does that have to do with anything?
I'm gonna lose my daughter, she's gonna go to them.
Don't say stupid things Gulseren. I know one thing, there isn't a
mother as good as you in this world. I know your heart beats for Hazal.
That you'd do anything for her to be happy.
Ok maybe she'll want them at first but in the end she'll come to you.
You're her mother.
Thank you Derya, thank god you're here.
Thank you.
I'm not gonna drink tea.
What why?
I'm gonna go home, maybe Cihan will bring Hazal.
Look at me, don't forget to tell me, don't leave me wondering.
Did you like your food?
It wasn't too bad.
Enjoy.
Why did we come here?
So we can talk and you can eat.
I thought we were gonna go to your place, the house.
We will, you'll even live with us eventually.
But in time not all at once, everything has it's timing.
I don't want to go back to Gulseren.
Hazal!
You're my dad I want to live with you.
Ok but like I said we will do this without hurting any feelings.
We have to talk, you me gulseren and my wife and cansu.
Who's cansu?
My daughter, well the baby that got mixed in the hospital.
You don't want me.
Hazal.
No you don't want me!
How could I not want you?
You just don't.
Sweetie, calm down lets talk please.
I had so many dreams not that I actually have a dad. I was happy.
But you don't want me.
Hazal please.
If you wanted me you wouldn't keep talking about gulseren.
Look. Sweetie of course I want you. But like I said, everything has a time.
We just met, everything will happen but slowly. Without hurting people, ok?
How?
I don't know but I do know that you're my daughter. Calm down, trust me I will
handle it ok?
Ok let's go home. Your mom is probably worried.
What are you saying?
My niece got mixed in the hospital with another baby.
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna take her, I'm not gonna leave my family to someone else.
That's true it's your right.
What does gulseren say to this?
Who's asking her? She has a dad in Germany
Didn't you say you don't talk to him?
If I need to I'll go knock every door until I find him,
What's gonna happen to Hazal.
She'll go return to her actual family then right? That's the right thing.
Aren't you going to miss her?
Yes I will of course, I helped raise her! She'll come visit I'll see her then.
Gulseren hello!
Hi, are you leaving?
Yes I was!
Hatice stop. Why are you listening to her?
I need to go cook some food.
We are looking forward to seeing you later
Gulseren what are you doing?
Who do you think you are trying to give my daughter away?
I'm your husbands sister and daughter's aunt, understand?
I have the right to speak to.
No ma'am you don't. This topic is none of your business.
Oh it is my business.
You're not gonna get involved ms Keriman.
Stop giving me orders. I swear I'll kick you out of the house.
I don't care, my daughter is gone I don't have time for you.
Oh ok go get your stuff from the streets.
Hazal, sweetie. Where were you I was scared!
Ok mom stop making a big deal.
Sorry I forgot my phone at home & her's ran out of battery.
It's ok, at least she's here.
Why didn't you call?
Come in would you like some coffee?
Come in I'm Keriman, Hazal's aunt.
I'm Cihan Gurpinar.
Come drink some coffee?
Thank you, maybe some other time.
Bye bye, come again!
Hopefully.
Want some tea?
Don't ask me anything.
I'm not I just want a hug.
Hazel you're my entire world. I was so scared that I lost you.
Sweetie. Do you remember when you got lost in the park when you
were 5, I had bought you a red shirt and it had pink hearts on the pocket
do you remember? You used to really love it. Always wore it.
You had cute hair ties and your hair was so silky.
You asked me if we could go on the merry-go round.
I said yes, whatever you want &then we went to get tickets
and I left you for one second then when I turned around you weren't
I got so scared, it felt like I had been stabbed in the heart.
"Where's my daughter" I started yelling then I saw your skirt and you
were holding flowers and said "mom i got these daises for you"
Hazal the whole world was mine that day. Don't ever leave me, don't.
You're my everything, you're my everything
Welcome Mr. Cihan, here's your phone. Dilara isn't here yet.
Thank you. I'd be shocked if she was here.
Let's have a meeting for the charity.
Sweetie.
Are you still at the charity?
Yes, did you go home?
Yes, come home too we need to talk.
Did you eat?
Forget eating, I'm telling you to come home we need to talk.
What's happening Cihan, why are you telling me to come home, what?
Is your charity more important than your family and your daughter?
What, why are you speaking like this?
Dilara why are you like this? Huh? It's always about your social life
and your charity.
Cihan can you be calm please.
Ok don't come. Don't I don't want you.
Cansu sweetie?
Should we move to the cafe now?
Darling, I have to go now.
Can your husband not do without you
Exactly he doesn't feel well so I need to go pamper him
Oh I love you two so much Dilara
It's late I'm gonna leave too.
Nevin are you going too?
No i'm single sweetie there's no one at home waiting to be pampered.
Ok let's go then.
See you later.
Oh we can breathe now, we spoke so much today.
Oh tell me about it.
Dilara is doing everything so she gets the lead job
Oh don't say that, I already feel sorry for her.
Why what happened?
What, haven't you heard?
Heard what?
Oh I thought you knew, never mind.
What tell me, did something bad happen to her?
Maybe I can help, I'm her friend.
It's not something we can help with. She doesn't even know yet.
C'mon tell me already.
It's gonna stay between us though right?
I would never tell.
Cihan has a child from another woman.
What?
Yeah, tell me about it. I got so sad.
Where did you hear that from?
I did, don't worry about it.
Tell me, maybe it's a rumor.
It's not, Alper told me.
I can't believe it, I'm in shock. Look at Cihan go.
I thought this would happen to anyone but Dilara.
Mid life crisis honey, when the marriage gets too long this happens.
Oh no this is old news, the girl is 14.
Oh my, I can't believe it, this is a scandal!
Do you know who the woman is?
No Nevin I couldn't find that out. But Dilara is gonna be so angry.
It's saddening, she was just so happy talking to him earlier.
Mom I'm going to sleep.
Come here, come come. Goodnight.
What is this? When did he put that in my bag?
Gonna trick me with only $500? I'm your daughter, your daughter.
What am I gonna tell him? Ugh. Fuck.
God's work, who knew one day Hazal would get this lucky?
What are you saying?
Mr Cihan, he seems like a rich man.
And so what if he is?
What do you think? Now hazal doesn't have to live in poverty.
I told you I'm not giving Hazal away. How many times do I have to tell you?
Get that out of my face! You're not gonna give her?
Hazal is mine.
Gulseren, don't fool yourself. Even if you don't give her, she's gonna go
No she's not gonna go.
Gulseren look on the bright side.
What?
Well since he's so rich we won't give Hazal for free.
What do you mean GIVE?
Gulseren think, I don't have money to take care of you.
Let's use this opportunity and help each other out.
Or..
Or what?
Or you'll find somewhere else to put your head.
Look Keriman. I rather sleep on the street instead of listen to you.
My daughter is not for sale.
Which daughter? You don't even have food to eat tomorrow.
Why are you being so stubborn.
My love, what are you doing? Homework?
I'm trying to do work.
Trying to ?
Come here. My love you have a fever.
Yeah I caught a cold dad. My nose keeps running.
I'll bring you some medicine.
I already had some.
It's ok it'll go away after I sleep it off
Ok sweetie. Your really look like your mom.
Like Ms. Gulseren?
Yes.
Do you think I'm that pretty?
Do you think Gulseren is pretty?
I think she's so pretty. You?
My love. You're thinking stupid things like I'm gonna leave you,
right? Don't ever think that. I'd never let you go you're my daughter.
Ms. Gulseren doesn't like me anyway.
What where did that come from?
I understood.
From where?
You know how you forgot your phone at home?
She called you &when I saw I opened it. She was cold toward me.
It could happen, maybe she was surprised that you answered.
Maybe, I don't know but I thought she would be happy to hear my voice.
Who wouldn't be happy to hear your voice? She must have been
but didn't show it.
Cihan you're here?
Hi mom.
Hi sweetie, you're still awake? It's late you should go sleep.
Ok sweetie, to bed.
Dear god please give me strength.
Yes I'm listening. What's important enough to get me to leave
the charity dinner?
You don't even realize it don't you?
What? That we aren't a happy couple?
When were we ever happy in the 18 years? Never. We just made people believe we were
a cute and happy family.
You didn't call me to talk about this did you?
No we are gonna talk exactly about this.
Ok I'm listening then.
Look Dilara we aren't happy there's no love between us. We are like roommates.
You're exaggerating please don't.
Exaggerting? Dilara I can't live this life anymore?
So what?
Let's get divorced. Dilara, let's get divorced.
Do you hear me?
Yes I'm aware, I did. That's not possible though.
Why are we catholic? Did we swear we would be together till we die?
You can't just say let's get divorced cause you feel like it.
I've been saying this for years.
That's in the past, now we have kids we share a life & have a reputation.
Screw your reputation. Our family is tearing apart, your kid is sick & you
don't even have a clue.
What? I called her 10 times today.
So you cured her over the phone?
Yes, I told her to take her meds.
Bravo, you passed the class.
Cihan, take the stupid thoughts out of your head. I can't have people gossiping
about us like that.
Screw the people. For once get sad for me, you or our family. That's enough.
I am sad for my family.
Why? You're scared to death that everyone is gonna find out Cansu got mixed in the
hospital.
This is us Cihan, for 16 years this is how we've been. You can't just wake up and
decide you want to end it. I won't let you throw away all these years of effort.
Understand?
Yildirim where are you? Ok wait I'm coming.
Welcome.
How are you Ahmet?
Good, what would you like?
The usual.
Of course sir.
Cihan, what's up with you?
Wait what? The mom followed after her daughter?
Yes.
Alper you're not telling me anything.
I did tell you.
Who is she? Do we know her?
No how are we supposed to, she's not like us.
How is she not like us?
Well when you look at her & what she's wearing she's poor.
Wow where did Cihan find her?
But she's really pretty, she has really nice eyes.
If you dressed her up & got her hair done she'd look better than you and Dilara.
See what you wanted happened, now go tell Dilara so she can file
for divorce.
Look at the big picture, you're gonna kill the chicken that lays gold eggs?
I'm gonna rip Cihan's liver slowly, he's gonna have to make me a business partner
What does that have to do with anything.
Solmaz you're smart but sometimes your brain stops.
Now I'm gonna go tell Cihan I'll keep my mouth shut &save his marriage
if he makes me a partner.
Oh you're gonna blackmail him.
Oh no we don't use words like that.
Oh my lovely dumb wife. You didn't tell anyone right?
No why would I?
Look if anyone finds out the blackmail won't work. Knowledge is
power don't forget baby. See you later.
Good morning.
To you too.
Cihan we need to talk.
Is there anything to talk about.
Not about your excitement to divorce, something else.
Do you know what your best quality is? Your piercing words that drive
people insane. What excitement?
You think I'm a maniac and want to divorce?
Cihan I'm sorry.
Take your hand away.
Please Cihan will you listen, I said I'm sorry.
Wow, you said sorry? I'm gonna write that down in my agenda, you know
why? It's the first time you've said sorry.
I always say sorry when it's needed.
Is that how your people do it?
Cihan ok you're right, you're unhappy lets get therapy or something.
What therapy?
Why are you laughing, I'm trying to find a solution here.
We've been unhappy for 18 years. How is therapy gonna fix that.
The answer is clear.
At least for awhile let's not talk about it.
This is why we're like this, because we put everything aside for 18 years.
Right now Cansu &our other daughter are more important than our situation right?
Hazal.
What?
Our daughter's name is Hazal.
I know.
If you know why aren't you saying her name
Goodmorning.
My love. Your fever went down thank god. Why are you dressed?
I'm going to school.
What if you don't go today sweetie?
I have to hand in my homework dad.
Ok. Go but if you feel bad come home.
Of course.
Mr.Cihan tea or coffee?
Tea.
Is ozan still sleeping?
Yeah he even went to school.
Ozan?
Oh weird, does he have a girlfriend or something.
I don't know he didn't tell me.
He didn't tell you?
Emine can you get me some green tea? Good morning, enjoy.
Sweetie do you feel better?
Yes my dad said my fever went down. I feel better.
That's good.
I'm gonna be late for school, I should go.
Come I want a kiss too.
Like we agreed ok?
Yes if I feel bad I promise I'll come home.
There's barely any listings ugh.
Yes cause there's something called the internet.
Ok then come open it.
Now? I have to go to school. We can look when I come home.
Aren't you gonna kiss me?
Bye bye.
Good luck with your school work sweetie.
Hazal, one minute. Here keep this with you.
Thank you.
You're looking for jobs? Look for houses too if you've haven't
smartened up.
Cihan. Just wait. Two mins can we talk?
What?
You were gonna call the family over wed, what happened?
Are you sure you want to do this?
Yes, isn't she our daughter?
Ok. I'll call her mom and they can come here and we can talk.
Ok but shouldn't we talk between ourselves first?
Talk about what?
I don't know, are we gonna be able to get along with the woman?
What do you mean?
Is she gonna give the girl to us?
I can't understand you. You want Hazal?
Yes. I want her, isn't she our daughter?
Since when do you want her?
Cihan I'm not a rock i have feelings too. I sat down &thought about it.
We aren't going to swap our kids Dilara.
What swap? Of course we aren't. I just want Hazal to live with us.
So Cansu is gonna live with us and so is Hazal?
Yes.
What about Gulseren? We are gonna take her kids and let her live alone?
Ok you're right but think about it. She's a waitress & god knows where her
husband is, she could never give Hazal half of what we can.
Just because she doesn't have money, you want to take her child?
Is that what you want to do?
We will do what needs to be done.
How are you so used to buying people? Don't you have a conscience?
Pelin can you give me your tablet?
Look.
Who is this? Who, tell me.
God damn it. Pelin what happened did the battery finish
Yeah it does that, it's old.
Whatever, I'll get a new one soon.
Hazal, Seyda what's happening. What are you girls talking about?
Welcome Mr. Yildirim, come this way.
Welcome.
What would you like to eat? Please sit down.
Coffee please.
Sorry I bothered you so early in the morning but I have no one to talk to.
Oh don't mention it, you didn't bother me.
What are we gonna do with this, Cihan & I fought again.
What do you want to do?
I want to get my daughter.
Why?
What do you mean why? She's my daughter. I thought about it.
And changed my mind, I want her.
Did you change your thought or emotions?
Are you questioning me?
No, I'm trying to understand you. Don't get mad if I get it I'll help better.
I don't know, at first I didn't want to think about it but now
I can't stop thinking about her. Maybe if she was in good condition
things might be different but when I think about her living in poverty..there's
also a social aspect to this.
Like what?
When people find out I can't let people say Dilara Gurpinar didn't
take care of her own child. I want her to come here and live the life she deserves.
Are you gonna give Cansu?
Are you joking with me? How can you ask me that? Of course not.
What about the woman?
I'm not saying let's kidnap the girls. We are gonna convince her.
With money?
Yes. She can come see her daughters, I'm not trying to separate them.
How could you think I'm that evil?
Do you think she's gonna give the girl?
We are talking about a very large amount of money for a waitress.
It could change her entire life. The one with the money picks. I have it
she doesn't so I get the choice.
Electricty bill is $42 and the others are probably on their way.
Give them.
What, how are you gonna pay it?
I said give them.
You say you're the mom but the kid has a dad too, let him help.
Dilemma what do you want me to do?
Go talk to her, see what she wants. Come to an agreement.
I'm sorry but I can't do that.
Why?
She's also Cihan's daughter, you both need to talk about it.
I can't do something behind Cihan's back
Please try to understand he's been my friend for years & if I did this he owuld
never forgive me.
Then we will keep it secret.
Do you think you can keep something like this as a secret?
Ok. Sorry Yildirim. I shouldn't have asked you for this. I have a favour to ask tho.
Tell me.
Can you not tell anyone what we spoke about?
Don't worry I would never. If you don't mind I have a meeting to get to.
Ok, good bye.
Goodbye.
Hello Aylin? No don't worry I didn't forget about the meeting I'm coming.
Where are you going? I said where are you going?
Please leave a message
Ozkan, it's me your sister. I have important things to tell you.
Call me back right now.
Nevin don't say dumb things, Cihan would never.
I'm not lying, the girl is the same age as Cansu.
I think she's trying to get money from Cihan.
This could do a lot of damage if people found out.
And to our charity too.
What does it have to do with us?
Didn't you want to give a promotion to Dilara?
There's already someone in that position and she's not leaving anytime soon.
She said she was gonna leave & everyone knows Dilara wants to be president.
Hello sweetie, welcome.
Hi.
How's Cihan, he wasn't feeling feel last night?
Don't ask, he got the stomach flu and was acting like a baby.
Thank god he started feeling better this morning so I could come.
Yes Alper?
Cihan are you at the office?
No I have a meeting I'm on the way
I was gonna say let's sit down and talk
Why, is it something important?
No.. we haven't spoken in awhile I wanted to talk
Are you gonna be at the office tonight?
I don't know I have meetings. Are you at work?
No I'm at the restaurant. There was a meeting amongst the heads
I wanted to make sure they were working
Oh okay good job, good luck.
Good day.
To you too.
How long till the students are on break?
40 mins, they just went inside.
Ok can I wait here?
Yes of course.
Welcome sir. Do you have a reservation?
What?
A reservation?
But sir we have a special dinner reserved on this floor, can we move you downstairs?
Who is that?
I don't know he's a weird customer.
Didn't you tell him this floor is reserved
I did but he's not listening.
Kid, come here.
Wow we got stuck with an idiot, go see what he wants.
Yes sir? Would you like wine or a menu?
Forget about that, is Cihan here?
Cihan?
Yes Cihan Gurpinar, your boss?
I don't know sir let me ask.
Don't worry I'll deal with him. Hi how can I help you?
You asked for Cihan, I'm his partner?
Am I supposed to hug you then?
Excuse me?
I haven't seen him in years, I miss him. I want to hug my son, I'm his dad.
Rami Gurpinar.
Oh I'm his partner Alper Tek.
Oh hello, please sit.
Ms Gulseren!
Can you call me a taxi, my driver got caught in traffic.
How are you?
Good you?
I was wondering, can you stop calling me ms?
Yes, what do you want me to say?
I don't know I would say mom but then that would be rude towards your mom
Did you have something to do why did you come here?
No I came to see you.
To see me?
Yesterday when you picked up the phone I was shocked, I didn't know what to say.
Then I felt bad so I said I should go see her.
Oh don't worry I didn't get sad.
Ok good.
You're so thoughtful, thank you.
Are you sick?Bless you. Come here.
I was gonna go home but..
You have a fever, I won't leave you. Come i'm gonna bring you.
No don't bother I'll go myself but first can we go somewhere..if you want?
Of course but sweetie you're yellow and can barely stand. Let me bring you.
And we can talk on the way there.
I live on an old street.
Yeah I went when I was trying to find you.
But you never came to my house right?
No.
Hopefully you'll come sometime.
I think you kind of look like me.
My dad said the same thing.
I got you a small gift.
For me?
Yes.
It's a memory from when you belonged to me.
I thought you'd want it.
Of course I would, I love it so much thank you.
No problem.
Do you not have pictures of your husband, I mean my dad?
We don't really see each other.
Are you guys divorce?
Kind of. I filed but the result isn't clear yet.
You stayed in Russia for 10 years? Where were you, in Moscow?
Moscow? No I was all over the place like.
What were you doing there?
Business. Selling buying all sorts of things
Honestly, Cihan doesn't talk about you much I thought you were dead.
What he said I was dead?
Oh no. But I got this feeling.
Oh look at that coward. I'll tell him. Are you guys old friends?
No not really. But we are business partners. Let me call him he'll be so shocked.
NO I want it to be a surprise, just write his address down.
Caner, it finished come one now.
No you can't do that. Please.
Here's your change Ms, Have a nice day.
You too.
I don't think my mom is here but you can still come we can sit.
Sorry Cansu I can't.
No please come in for some coffee?
I can't but I promise I'll come later.
Go take your medicine and go straight to bed.
Ok but please call me.
Ok but you can too?
Can I?
Yes, you have my number right?
Yes.
Don't forget your medicine.
Ok.
Hello, good day, can I speak to Ismail?
Yes that's me.
I'm Ozkan's sister Keriman, I couldn't reach him so he gave me your number
Can you please tell him to call me back, it's urgent.
Ozkan isn't here.
What do you mean where is he?
He's in jail.
What? What? What did he do?
I don't even know, I'd tell you if I did.
When did this happen?
Last monday.
When is he getting out?
I don't know.
How can I speak to him, what jail is he in say something.
Let me find out & I'll call you. I'm late for work now bye
Ugh Ozkan what did you do now, what did you do?
Thank you.
Ok eat it before it gets cold. So Cihan's house is beautiful?
Magnificent, it's a mansion right by the ocean.
God give him more, what should I say?
I'm so scared I can't sleep because I think they're gonna take Hazal.
Don't do that Gulseren, didn't you say he seems like a good person.
Yeah but maybe he's doing this to get Hazal.
If hazal is their daughter, theirs is yours. don't worry there's the law.
Everything is on their side, they just hire a lawyer with their money.
How's Cansu?
That makes me sad too. She wouldn't want to live in my poverty.
She wouldn't last two days.
Don't be dumb not everything is about money.
YOu're gonna give her love, it's more valuable than money.
Forget that I need to find a job. The $50 you gave me is going all to bills.
Then you say give love, how am I gonna do that. I found an ad this morning
for a job let me call.
Good luck.
Oh Mr. Cihan called, should I call him back?
Yes !
Hello Gulseren
Sorry I didn't hear.
It's ok, not a big deal. Can we talk today?
Ok when?
Today if you're free
Right away?
Right now or whenever you can
Ok
Ok see you
Gulseren, are you hungry? Can we talk. I thought about
what I said. We live under the same roof. This is your house too.
We need to support each other right?
What happened that you changed 180 degrees?
I'm dumb, you think I'm gonna give Hazal in exchange for money & that I won't
give you any of it. Want to know something? I won't give my daughter to anyone.
Of course you won't she's your daughter. My head wasn't in the right spot.
Something happened to me, I got depressed by this life.
Don't cry nothing has changed.
Ozkan left you and I. My mom was sick I took care of her, I sent him to Germany.
I was so dumb look now he doesn't call us. Gulseren I can't deal with this.
If you leave me I don't know what I'd do, I'd jump off the building.
No stop crying go wash your face.
I'm going to ask to be excused today because I have yoga, ok?
Sure dilara.
Would you like me to email you tomorrows news?
Yes email would be best.
Oh I'm so so sorry!
Wow you can't even bring tea.
Sorry you just came out of nowhere.
Please stop talking and go outside.
All of them are like this,sadly theres nothing you can do. Anyways
I'm going. See you later.
She's bitter today, I think she found out about Cihan's daughter.
Nevin please stop talking about that it's very rude.
Come I made some tea.
No I have to go.
Job interview? Let's hope you come home with good news.
See you tonight.
She's becoming so spoiled. But wait they don't call me Keriman for no reason.
Welcome, sit please.
Hi.
How are you?
Good you?
Hope I didn't intterupt your work?
No I wasn't working today.
Oh my did I waste your day off?
I quit that job, it was temporary anyway.
Oh well let's hope for the best.
Would you like anything to eat?
No I just ate thank you, I could use some tea.
You should eat.
Oh no it's ok I'm not hungry. I wanted to talk about the girls.
While dropping Hazal off she said she wants to live with me.
I know I shouldn't have trusted you.
Please sit down. Please. I don't have bad intentions I'm just letting
you know what she said cause I think you should know.
Hazal is a child she can't decide where to live.
Yes I agree which is why we are talking about this.
Thank you.
Look there's been a mistake and we can sue the hospital but it won't change the truth.
So we need to accept it and make a decision about it.
I won't give Hazal to you, ever ever!
I don't want that, I dont have those intentions. I won't do anything to hurt you.
I'm ready to take care of Hazal as her dad but only if you let me.
Why should I believe you?
You're right, you don't know me yet. But I promise everything is gonna
go your way. If you don't believe me I can sign a contract or something.
What happens if you don't listen to the contract.
What else can I do?
Welcome.
Welcome Sema.
Can you bring me my yoga mat, I'm gonna change and head out.
Where's Emine?
She went to go get some groceries, Cansu is in her room.
Cansu came?
Yes, she's sick.
Mom? You came?
Yes sweetie, I did. Why did you come home, were you not feeling well?
Yes.
What's this Cansu, who's this?
Ms. Gulseren gave it to me.
When?
Today, she came to school to see me.
How does she know your school, sweetie answer me?
Did your dad tell her?
Why do you think everything is my dad's fault! I told her.
So you guys had a long conversation?
Yes what's wrong with that. She said she has a kid my age and asked me what
school I go to so I told her. Is there anything else you're curious about?
Ok don't get mad, I was just curious.
Can I get the picture back?
What school does her daughter go to?
Why are you curious?
Why wouldn't I be? She was curious about you.
I'm not forcing you, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
No it's your right to know, especially if the families are gonna meet.
We don't know where Hazal's dad is.
Excuse me.
Um you said he lives in Germany?
Yes but we dont know where in Germany.
Yes Ms. Dilara.?
Go prepare the car right away.
Yes Ms.
I filed for divorce and it's still sitting there like the day I opened it.
Does Hazal not talk to her dad?
He called once but I wasn't home.
You live with your husband's sister?
I have no choice, I can't afford rent &the house is Hazal's grandpas.
I'm sorry I'm boring you.
Oh no not at all, would you like more tea I think yours is cold.
Sure.
Excuse me can you bring more tea?
Feel free to ask me whatever you want.
What does your wife think about this?
We spoke about it, if that's what you call speaking.
What do you mean, I don't get it.
I don't know how to explain it.
Are you telling me your wife wants to take Hazal from me?
Oh no, if you're free you & Hazal should come over for dinner so everyone can meet and
we can all get to know each other better.
Yes we can come but I don't get what the problem is.
The problem..well we are getting a divorce. I want to divorce cause our relationship
isn't going well. There's unhappiness. So the dinner can be tense that's
why I said that. That's it.
Yes?
Cansu?
It's her, the one on the far left.
Ms. Hazal, can you come to the car. There's someone waiting for you.
Hi Hazal.
Hi.
Hazal, I'm your mom. Come inside.
Now you don't remember me?
Here let me give you a hint. Don't you remember how you used to
chase me around asking me to do that? I'm your grandpa!
Rami grandpa!
You used to not be able to pronounce the R so you'd run around saying ami
and now you don't even remember me.
But I was so little then.
You're right you were like 5 to 6. Oh my sweetie. Where's ozan?
He's probably at school.
Why didn't you go?
I'm sick.
You are oh let me see. Wow you have a fever! Let me make you some soup.
Grandpa where were you why did you never come?
Didn't your dad tell you?
He said you were in Russia.
Well I was.
What were you doing there.
I was missing you guys & asking myself where the time went.
Grandpa you're so funny!
Oh just wait I have more tricks up my sleeve.
What are you doing?
Calling my dad to tell him that you're here.
No don't let's surprise him.
I saw that she had a fever so we got in a taxi and I brought her home.
Was her fever that high?
No but she does have a cold so she should rest.
Cansu, never listens. I told her to stay home.
But if she had then I wouldn't have seen her.
That's true.
Cansu gets sick really fast but get's over it fast too.
Oh she's just like me! Hazal barely gets sick but it takes her forever to get better.
Oh then she's like me
Thank you for everything.
I'm dropping you off.
No thank you I can go.
No I can't let that happen, I'll drop you off.
No really Mr. Cihan.
No come one.
Thank you so much.
No problem, it's nothing.
Okay so i'll see you at your house for the dinner then?
Ok let me give you the address.
Oh no need I know it since I dropped Cansu off today.
Oh that's true. I don't have my mind left.
Could I ask something? Can we stop being so formal? In the end
we did raise each other's kids.
Ok. I'll try but it will take time.
Ok let me go first. See you later Gulseren. Tell Hazal I say hi
Ok I will Cihan.
Thank you again, have a nice day.
You too.
I know you're not opening it on purpose Dilara. You're the struggle of my life.
What a nice place this is.
It's true, it is a nice place. Hazel does your mom work?
Gulseren?
Is that your moms name?
The name of the woman that raised me.
Yes of course.
She doesn't work, she's jobless.
I thought she was a waitress.
She quit now she's jobless.
How are you guys living by then?
We aren't.
Do you speak to your dad, or the man you thought was your dad.
No I don't.
Do you live just with your mom?
No I have an aunt too.
Oh.
You don't like to talk about your family much?
They aren't my real family.
I'm just trying to get to know you, to understand what you're life's like.
Isn't it obvious what my life is like?
What would you like to eat?
I don't know, maybe some fish?
I was thinking the same thing.
I told you I went to pay a bill &there isn't an insult you haven't said to me. I'm not your slave.
Speak to me properly. I'm your boss.
Then know how to be a boss. I'm working on my feet all day you
don't even think "oh she has a life too"
If you don't like it then go leave, there's plenty other people to fill your spot.
Ok I'm going. Give me my salary. I'm going.
Here take it. Now leave I don't ever want to see your face again.
I should have left a long time ago. I shouldn't work with a dishonest rapist like you.
I rather eat dried bread.
What are you talking about?
Why are you so shocked? You think I don't know what you've been doing?
Stop blaming me for things I didn't do!
If I start talking you wouldn't be able to lift your head & especially if your wife finds out.
Get the hell out & don't ever come back again.
She's lying don't believe her!
What happened why did you fight?
Forget about it, what's done is done.
Did you go to the job meeting?
No I couldn't cause I met up with Cihan remember?
Why couldn't you go after, did you talk all day?
Yeah we spent a long time.
How did it go ?
Well. He said he's gonna do everything I want.
See I told you, he's such a great guy. What else did you talk about.
What do you mean?
That would only take 15 seconds, what else did you guys discuss?
Nothing about the weather and stuff.
Did he talk about his wife, what does she think?
She thinks the same way.
Gulseren there's something up with you, what's wrong?
Nothing why?
You're daydreaming and stuff.
No you're saying stupid things again.
Should we leave now? We have so much to do. We're going shopping.
What? Shopping?
Yes.
That would look so nice on Hazal.
Yeah it would, wanna buy it?
Of course, I haven't bought something nice for her in a long time but I don't have money.
Let's go.
Excuse me how much is it?
$39.90
I can't pay for it let's go.
I'm gonna buy it.
How you just got fired?
What's the last price?
$30
Ok good we have a deal.
Thanks Hazal is gonna be really happy.
Let's go to her school and surprise her.
Ok then we can go eat after and celebrate that I left my crazy boss.
Do you have cream?
No Rami, Ms. Dilara won't let us buy some.
Your mom hasn't changed, don't eat meat or butter what am I supposed to eat? grass?
are we cows? look at the beauty of this butter.
Is anyone home?
We are here come to the kitchen.
Sema what's for dinner?
Grandpa!
Good job son you recognized me! Hold on let me look at you. You were so small look at you now.
You have my eyes. How's life, any girls?
You remember our grandpa?
Of course. Weren't you in russia, that's what my dad said.
Yes but now i'm here.
Are you gonna live with us forever, that's great!
Girls go set the table nice with flowers.
Put the bags in the car, we are gonna sit and have coffee.
Welcome, what would you like?
I'd take an espresso. You Hazal?
Frappucino, vanilla please.
It takes great pictures I can't believe it.
Do you like what you got?
Yes I love it! Thank you so much
No problem it's all your right.
Gulseren would never but me a tablet.. in my dreams.
Do you like G?
Yes of course since she raised me but she doesn't care about me much.
Ozkan doesn't either.
Who's Ozkan?
My dad, or who I thought was my dad. Last time he called was 2 years ago &we
spoke for 5 mins. Both of them don't care about me. Only my aunt does a bit.
Does your aunt love you a lot.
She does but..
But what?
She loves money more.
Does she work?
She used to when she lived in Germany, but not anymore.
Where do you guys live Hazal?
Tophane, you?
In Kandilli. Would you like to come to my house?
What happened?
It looks nice.
Where is this girl?
Wait not everyone left yet.
Is it ringing?
It's closed.
Her battery probably ran out.
Seyda! Where's Hazal?
She left, don't you know?
Where did she go?
At lunch, I thought you knew.
No.
A car came and the chauffeur said someone is waiting for you and she went in the
car and left.
They stole my daughter I knew I shouldn't trust them!
Gulseren stop!
Hello Sir. You have calls who should I start from?
No one just email me everything.
Ok.
What's up Cihan.
Hello Alper.
How was the meeting?
We are negotiating.
I'm gonna get involved in it too.
Ok. If you have enough money to get involved.
I thought ou would pay my share.
Where did this thought come from.
You stole my daughter! You stole her! Like an idiot I believed you!
