Second Chance (İkinci Şans)

This is the day that I killed myself.

It is sometimes necessary, to be born again.

I'm not sure if this death would take me to heaven or hell.

But I feel a peace inside that I've never felt before.

A great peace.

SECOND CHANCE

6 MONTHS EARLIER

Don't leave without having breakfast!

Come on.

Cahit Arf. One of our most important mathematicians.

Mustafa, welcome.

Hi, Cemal. I hope you have a table for us.

Of course. Mahmut, take good care of them.

Right away, dad.

-Don't call me "dad" in public again. -I'm sorry, Mr. Cemal.

-Mommy? -Yes, sweetheart?

-I want to ask you something. -Go ahead, sweetheart.

Me and my friends, we want to go to the seaside.

-I see. -I mean...

-Here you go. -Thanks, mom.

-Have fun. -See you.

Good bye, teachers. -Bye.

-Where is the princess going? -They will take a walk by the seaside.

Which seaside? Both Kilyos and Bebek are by the sea.

It's better to know, Yasemin.

There are lots of weird men out on the streets.

What are you saying? She is just a child.

I'm not sure if you are ready to hear this from a man like me.

But I just can't keep it to myself anymore.

I've been thinking about your long hair, big eyes and soft skin all day.

-It's coming if you're ready. -Let's do it.

On the crow's feet. Just a little.

Go on with your rehearsal.

I realise that it's too early to say big words.

But I just can't keep it to myself anymore.

I want to get to know you better, if you are ready too.

"You're such a funny boy..."

"And you're really pretty. May God protect you."

Guys, the boss is on it. Let's go watch.

What?

Who is it this time?

He picked her out of a group of girls who came for a birthday party.

Alright, guys. I am starting the bet.

Who is betting for under or over 23?

Is there a handicap?

"I'll be back in 5."

It is really hard to hear these things from men in my age group.

You are using words that please me as a young lady.

-Enjoy. -Is this for me?

-Yes, it's for you. -But what is this 23?

It was your birthday last time you were here, so I thought that...

-But I'm 22. -Really?

Mr. Mahmut, if you're done, could you please leave us alone?

Sure, dad.

Mr. Cemal.

You see...

When you employ this many people, you become like their father.

Did mom have dinner? Don't forget her medicine, please.

Don't worry, sister. Mom is doing alright.

She's already sent one of the nurses home before I got here.

You should let me know when you'll be here. I'll make my plans accordingly.

Okay, honey.

Don't forget to put lemon in her water.

And take care of the garden. You know, she is obsessed with her flowers.

Alright sister, I know. You tell me the same thing every time.

I'm telling you, so you don't forget.

Take care of mom until I get there. I'll call you later.

Okay, don't worry. See you.

Mom, I've warmed up the room. Let's get you up.

Who I'm seeing is none of your business.

What are you saying, Cansu?

Of course it's my business. I'm your mother.

Enough, mom. I don't like it that you are so involved in my life.

You are my daughter and my responsibility.

Protecting you is my duty. You're seeing the wrong people.

I can decide who is right and who is wrong because I'm a grown-up now.

EPISODE 116 THE END

People will have hunchbacks in 50 years because of this technology.

Sit up straight, dear.

Mom, go back to the couch and string your beans there.

I've been there for four hours. The episode's just ended, and I'm bored.

Let me see who you are chatting with. -With my friends.

Come on, don't try to fool me. Let me see who he is.

-Stop, mom, why would you look? -Honey, I'm just curious.

Stop, I'm writing something here.

Are you hiding something from me? Stop.

Take it.

"Never be a woman who strings beans, sitting in front of the television."

Great. You are chatting with a boy, and I am the subject?

There is a game on TV, but Mister Mahmut isn't watching it.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Just chatting with a friend of mine, dad.

I'll deduct 100 liras from your salary each time you call me "dad".

Am I supposed to call you "Mr. Cemal" at home too?

Fine. It's okay at home.

She's a beautiful friend. -She is below your age group, dad.

Look at you!

I'll see you when you're 40.

Look at that. You're having a chat about beans!

What can I do, dad?

I've been caught up in this bean issue for a long time, I can't get out of it.

Write something nice to the girl, man.

"What kind of woman do you imagine me to be?"

We need to ask this.

Answer her.

Stand up.

-What? -Move aside.

Let's use my repertoire.

Watch me.

"A woman is a nurturer. She feeds her baby and nurtures nature."

She nurtures art with her existence.

She nurtures a man's heart with her beauty.

I'd like you...

"I'd like you to be a woman who nurtures me...

...either with beans or your glances."

How old is this boy, saying all these big words?

What if I'm not as beautiful as you'd expect?

Enter.

-Mom... -Let's see what he says.

Alright.

What if I were to find many beautiful aspects of you?

-Which book did you steal this from? -Mom.

Hold on.

I'm not exactly a poet, but...

"But I can make impressive sentences for the right woman. This is all me."

Do you like reading? -Too boring.

No more boring than beans.

Let's see because it's important to know if he likes reading.

Do you read?

"What can be better than the smell of a book...

...which makes you feel like you are living different stories in new worlds?"

I really like this boy.

I'm going to take a shower. And then, I'm going to go to sleep.

I hate the boy now because of you.

Goal, goal! Goal, dad, goal!

Well, let's get to know you better, young man.

Have you ever had a date with this girl?

No, dad, never.

Why would she be interested in me? I'm just by myself...

How did you miss that one?

"Tell me about yourself."

Get ready for your first date.

"My dad has an excellent restaurant. I work there."

"What is your dad like?"

I wish I looked like him a little."

"What kind of music do you like?"

"I like oldies. From the 70s, 80s and so on."

"I like those years too."

"Nilufer, Kayahan, Baris Manco etc."

"See, we're alike."

"Well, which movies do you like?"

"Old Turkish movies."

"The movie 'My Dear Brother' always makes me cry."

"You think very maturely..."

"How old are you?"

"Just kidding. 19..."

"Why don't we meet up?"

"Okay, come to the restaurant. Cemal's Steakhouse, Taksim."

"Deal."

"Delete All"

Mahmut, come on.

The kitchen here is as big as our restaurant.

Yes, son. We're building a huge place.

All Istanbul will talk about this place.

Go put on something decent, and come to the restaurant.

Cemal's Steakhouse

Welcome. Do you have a reservation?

Yes, I'd like to see Mahmut Yilmaz.

Yes, madam. Here is your table.

-Where is the bathroom? -Straight ahead, to the right.

It's okay, I'm calm, I'm calm.

Welcome.

Your table is over there.

Put them down. Let someone else do it.

Don't get your clothes dirty. I'll need you soon.

Okay, dad.

Mr. Cemal.

Madam, this table is reserved.

My friends can arrange another table for you.

Guys! -You invited me here.

Me?

Why did I invite you?

What's the problem? Am I not your type?

I'm sorry, what is this about?

Are you not ashamed of seducing young girls?

-Which young girl? -And he's asking which girl!

I'm saying that you're a grown man!

Don't you feel shame coming on to young girls?

I'm sorry, who are you?

I'm the mother of the girl that you tried to seduce.

You are Ece's...

Filiz...

Of course, Burcu's mother.

Okay, okay.

Your daughter and I are taking our relationship seriously.

She was going to introduce me to you once we got to know each other better.

Would you like to drink something? Are you hungry, auntie?

Auntie?

Mahmut. Mahmut.

Who is that woman with your father?
