PART ONE

Excuse me.

I think that's my seat.

Here you go.

They often make mistakes.

-I wonder if that was it? -Yeah.

Sometimes they sell the same seat twice, maybe...

It was empty, so I took it because I didn't want to go backwards.

Hello?

Gözde, I got on.

I got on. I'm on the train.

On the Blue Train.

I don't know. I guess someone stole it. It's all gone.

I guess I'll just go to the wedding nude now, Gözde.

I don't know. I'll figure it out when I get off.

I'll do it when I get off.

Gözde, do you think your clothes will fit me?

Geez, you're just like my mom. Stop the nonsense.

Gözde, sweetheart, I told you.

I don't know who stole it. All right.

I don't know who stole it. Talk to you later.

All right. Bye.

Sorry to hear what happened.

Your luggage is gone...

Were you eavesdropping?

It's hard not to.

I was just curious about something. What's your seat number?

It's three. Is that okay? Three?

Is three all right?

Don't get me wrong, but that's also my seat.

-My friend's seat actually -What the hell?

But, it's okay. No problem.

They're not coming.

I have to be in Izmir by tomorrow night and the train is full.

Is that good enough?

What?

I have to be in Izmir tomorrow and the train's full.

Is that good enough? Can we just leave it at that?

Then I should just forgive you.

What do you mean?

You know how you got upset, "What the hell?" and all.

I'm just saying, I guess I should forgive you.

Well, yes... I had a bad day.

Your luggage is gone.

Yep.

-And you can't go backwards. -Why are you dwelling on this?

Why do you think?

Okay, look, can I go to Izmir in here or not? That's the question.

The answer should be that clear, right?

No, I mean...

You obviously can. But am I allowed to stay or not?

That's the real question.

I don't understand.

I mean, you have this attitude...

What attitude?

Good evening.

-Good evening. -Can I have your names?

Ali Kaynar.

Kaynar...

Ali Kaynar.

Okay. And yours?

Kavak.

Kavak. I don't have anyone by that name.

I made a mistake and bought my ticket for tomorrow.

Ayhan Adalı. Type it, sir. Ayhan Adalı.

Ayhan Adalı. Yes.

The lady is Mr. Ayhan Adalı?

How can she be Mr. Ayhan, sir? What's your name?

Mehmet.

Mr. Mehmet, I bought this compartment with my friends.

Four of us. Check the names.

Seyhan.

Rasim.

Ayhan.

See?

It's our compartment anyway. My friends couldn't make it.

Are you married?

We're engaged, sir.

Because a man and woman are not allowed to travel like this.

Sir, she didn't let us go to Izmir, man to man.

She got all uneasy.

The system wouldn't have worked with a woman's name.

What can we do, sir?

I have to issue a fine to the lady.

That's okay. How much is the fine?

It's going to be about 85 liras. Let me check.

Okay, go ahead. Write up the fine.

-89.50 liras. -Here you go.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Have a good trip.

So, what attitude do I have?

Like, "Even if I don't explain myself, people will understand..."

-Really? -That's the image so far.

What was the point of buying four tickets?

Is that the type a person you think I am?

The type of person who would buy four tickets

so he could travel alone in the train?

I don't know what to think.

-My friends were supposed to be here. -So they ditched you?

They couldn't make it.

You should've canceled then. People with emergencies couldn't get tickets!

They should take a plane. Who'd take the train?

It's a ten-hour trip.

Maybe they're afraid of flying.

They should get a bus, then.

Maybe their luggage got stolen at the terminal.

What's about getting on a train without a ticket?

I have a ticket...

For tomorrow.

-What do you mean? Should I leave? -You already tried that.

-What is it that you want? -Maybe a "Thank you"?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Unfortunately, I have bad news.

I can't go backwards, either.

No problem. I'll manage.

By the way, I'm Ali.

-What? -I'm Ali. It's a pleasure.

-My stomach... -Are you okay?

PART TWO

Let me help you.

-Let's keep you out of this now. -Good thing it didn't get on your clothes.

Good evening Ms. Şebnem.

I looked at it. Actually, I left it on your desk.

Well...

Rather than the GSM operator, the guy is at fault here.

He builds a cell tower and makes it look like a water tank.

Puts it on the roof with the sign "water tank."

The pictures are in the folder.

Someone took them from the roof across the street.

You can see the cables...

It's obvious it's a cell tower.

Exactly. That's what I wrote in the petition.

Okay.

I'm on my way now.

My friend's wedding.

We'll see.

Okay.

Have a good evening, Ms. Şebnem.

So, a guy puts up a cell tower and covers it up as a water tank?

Yes. The whole neighborhood's rising up.

They have tree-shaped ones too.

Don't even know if it's causing any harm or not.

Are you a lawyer?

For now.

Is the smell gone?

I didn't smell it when I came back.

This is awful. Sorry.

Don't be. It's clear you shouldn't travel backwards.

"Before you embark on a journey of revenge,

also dig a second grave for yourself."

I bought it, but I didn't like it.

-Just wanted to see whose book it is. -It's mine.

-Are we still in primary school? -No.

And that's why we don't go through each other's bags, right?

"Good day, sir! I'd like to get revenge." "Here, we have a written one."

I didn't read it, though.

How about all the notes and writing?

I got it from a secondhand store.

Why did you get revenge from the poor secondhand store?

Are all these jokes from law school?

Nope. All mine.

Not getting a perverted vibe here. I might think you're hitting on me.

Still not sure. It's strange.

Just asking.

Because you're a lawyer?

Just making conversation.

Well, what for?

I'm curious.

Most people are not curious. But I am.

Like, I'm curious about why you're here. What's the deal?

But you don't stop there.

-What do you mean? -You ask a lot of questions.

But it's not easy. It takes listening.

Well, naturally.

People don't do that either. They don't listen.

We have so many flaws, right?

There might be less flaws if we listened.

We're in the same compartment on a 14-hour trip.

Who am I? What am I? Am I some kind of pervert?

Don't you want to know anything about me?

You're Ali. You gave me a seat. Thanks.

You're a lawyer. You friends didn't come. Going to a wedding.

-Wedding? -That's what you said on the phone.

-You totally eavesdropped. -I overheard it.

Also, it's kind of obvious. Your suit and all.

And you pretend you're not curious. Why do you hide it? Just ask.

I even wonder about someone in front of me at the bank.

-You just go up to them and ask? -Depends.

Do they drink tea or coffee?

Do they...

like warm sea waters or cold?

-Do they squeeze lemon on fish? -You can't do that.

Right? You see that? Start of a conversation.

Do you have to have a conversation?
