MYSTERIOUS INCIDENT IN ADANA
It's another omen.
What did you expect?
No sign of any disease.
No stings or injuries.
All of them dead in an instant.
I know what I must do.
Maran?
Maran's still too weak. He's indisposed.
What stage is he at?
The worst one.
-[tense music playing] -[skin squelching]
[Maran grunting weakly]
[breathing raggedly]
[Hare] Forty-one.
Are you done with the Shahsu thing?
Oh no, I forgot. I'll go and text her right away.
Go, go.
[Maran grunts]
[cell alert dings]
MARAN: I'M OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK FOR A FEW DAYS. I'LL BE BUSY.
REMEMBER THAT NO MATTER WHERE I AM, I'LL BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED ME
[Davut] Salih?
Medine?
Ah, shit…
-[Davut] Salih? -I forgot about you.
[keys jingling]
I'm sorry, Davut.
When did you return?
Huh?
You went to the uplands.
No.
Ah, you're talking about Medine, aren't you?
I'm Shahsu.
I, uh…
[sighs]
I have to… go to the orchard.
[tense music builds]
[key clinks]
Maran?
What are we gonna do about Shahsu?
My men are watching, but someone needs to be with her.
My brother can't go anywhere. He needs time to rest.
Shahsu needs a lot of protection, that's for sure.
Cihan?
All right.
Maran is not gonna like this, you know.
-[engine running] -[students chattering]
Going somewhere?
I need a change of scenery, so I'm going to the café to grade some papers.
[engine cuts off]
By yourself?
I'm hurt. Hop on.
You've only just arrived, Cihan. It's okay. I can go by myself.
Don't be silly.
It's out in the middle of nowhere.
And no woman… should go alone.
-Oh, really? -Hop on.
I know you want to.
It's safer to ride with me than go by yourself.
What are you even…?
Fine.
-[engine sputters] -[sharp inhale]
-[crackling] [hissing]
[Arun] Cihan. -[ominous music plays]
Not everything is Maran's to own.
Bring her to us.
["Mecnun'dan Beter Haldeyim" by Lalalar playing]
[overlapping chatter]
[song ends]
[engine cuts off]
Is this the place?
This is the real Adana.
You should see it. Is that okay?
What was the assignment you gave?
-What are you reading? -About Shahmaran and her story.
And all of them failed, huh?
Yeah, you think, huh?
But most of them did a very good job.
Shahmaran ended up being killed because of her love.
The guy she was madly in love with… betrays her or something like that.
But the queen of the serpents,
with her dying breath…
bestows her wisdom one final time on her lover.
And the students have brought up… some great questions
and thoughts about the story.
Like, "love requires sacrifice," and all that stuff.
Don't you believe in that?
Why is it always us that have to make the sacrifice in the end?
Why is it always the women in these famous stories and myths
that have to sacrifice themselves? Why do we have to?
And what happened to him?
-Camsap. -Mm-hmm.
Camsap regretted everything.
I guess he truly went… mad with guilt.
He really shouldn't have betrayed her, Cihan.
We don't know that.
Know what?
Well, perhaps…
it's actually the betrayer who's made the sacrifice.
For their shared love.
Hold on. I'll be right back
Excuse me.
I'd like a plain Turkish coffee, please.
I said I'd like a plain Turkish coffee.

SOMETHING MADE ME THINK OF YOU
[line ringing]
[ringtone playing]
[phone vibrating]
[Shahsu] Maran?
[Bike] Don't touch him.
-This happened at the worst time. [Shahsu] Maran, are you in there?
[Bike] I guess this one will take longer than the others.
Maran?
Shahsu.
[Maran grunting]
Maran, are you in there?
[Ural] Are you sure she heard the phone inside the house?
[Diba] Yes, I'm sure she did.
When have we ever interfered like this?
This is exactly why we have to be careful.
I don't understand.
How could you text her from Maran's cell phone?
I didn't want her to get suspicious.
Now she's gonna be even more suspicious!
I'm sure she's wondering… why he hasn't come out to see her.
Okay, fine. You're right.
It was a bad idea, but we thought it would look suspicious for him to
vanish into thin air, with no explanation at all.
We meant well by it.
Enough. Enough, please.
No one's gonna text anymore.
Do you understand?
Everything will play itself out. No one is to interfere.
Understood?
[Diba sighs]
[Salih] I bought a moisture meter for Musfik's orchard today.
But the irrigation pipes are too short.
I need another 100 meters.
I'll make a list, and we can go and get it together tomorrow.
How does that sound?
You're back from the uplands already?
No, we're still there.
Don't worry. She's been cranky since yesterday. Just ignore her.
Just nod "okay."
Stop. When did you fill that up?
-Hey, stop. What the hell are you doing? -What the hell? What's with you?
Haven't you heard about the damn cattle? Huh?
-You scared the living hell out of me. -You gotta be careful
What's with the cattle?
They're all dead.
All of Ziya's cattle are dead.
They say it's an epidemic.
They're testing the water.
Everyone's warning against drinking tap water. Haven't you heard about it?
They should shut it off. Why haven't they?
Why would they do that? They need to run tests before shutting it down.
[distant dripping echoes]
There was no water then, either.
-[dripping intensifies] -[warbling rumble]
[faucet dripping]
[Davut] On the day I left home.
[dogs barking]
Back then, we used to drink…
tap water.
They would shut it down at night.
I had no idea why.
[melancholy music builds slowly]
[door rattles, creaks]
Daddy?
Where are you going?
I'll be back, Gül. Go to sleep.
I'll be back soon.
Come on, just go back home.
-[high-pitched ringing] -[warbling rumble]
That was the last time I saw her.
[clears throat]
This is great, thank you.
[retching cough]
-Medine? Medine! -[retching]
[melancholy music swells]
[music fades out]
[Shahsu] I'm sick of this.
[breathes deeply]
I'm out.
I'll leave with him.
I'm gonna get the hell out of here.
[phone chimes]
I'M IN, MARAN. I'LL COME WITH YOU
[alert swooshes]
[somber instrumental music plays]
[birds chirping]
[exhales deeply]
[breathes deeply]
[music fades out]
Medine doing okay?
She's all right.
She's resting now.
It's the water, I'm sure of it.
She don't listen to me. She never does.
Go and take her to a doctor, Salih.
Tell her that's what I said, and she'll listen.
Sir.
What happened last night?
You never used to talk about your daughter.
Are you all right, sir?
Huh?
Lately… you've been acting strange.
Tell me what's wrong, Salih.
[exhales]
Let's finish with that tub.
[indistinct chatter]
[phone chimes]
I know that you're back home.
Though I wonder why you still haven't returned any of my calls.
Anyway…
I hope you're okay, and I'm really starting to worry about you.
-Call me, please. -Psst.
What are you up to?
Nothing. I just like to take audible notes for myself.
That's cool.
I don't have class today. Wanna hang out?
I have to make it up to you.
-I'll take you to an amazing place, come-- -Cihan! Cihan.
There's nothing you have to make up for, please.
And, I have to work. I don't feel like going anywhere.
Okay.
[mysterious music plays]
[shuddering grunts]
[gasping]
[exhales sharply]
[Hare] It's okay.
What's wrong?
Shahsu's been texting.
-There's nothing we can do. -Leave it. Dad would kill us.
We can't do anything.
CLEARLY, SOMETHING HAPPENED. OKAY, IT'S LIFE. JUST TELL ME WHAT IT IS
[shuddering grunts]
So I'm coming around a little fast…
Shahsu, can we talk, please?
[mysterious music intensifies]
NEW TEXT
ALL RECORDINGS
[Shahsu] I'm sick of this.
I've had enough.
This shitty house, this wretched town is making me sick.
[Shahsu sighs]
I will leave.
I will leave with him.
I'm gonna get the hell out of here.
[power chord peaks and fades out]
Maran is a good guy.
He must have his reasons.
Mmm.

Where's Maran?
-Would you like some milk? -Tell me. Where is he?
He's not here.
Why in the world would you care where Maran is?
What do you mean, "Why do I care where Maran is?"
Milk?
You look worried.
She's worried.
Of course I'm worried.
What else would I be here for?
Beats me.
Believe me, we don't really know where he is.
How can you possibly not know, huh?
Maran just vanished into thin air, out of the blue, just like that?
He leaves abruptly, and no one knows about it, is that it?
And you don't even care?
Tell me, why's his phone still here?
His phone's here? I didn't know.
So you really do like Maran, huh?
Yes. Obviously, I like him.
This isn't…
your business.
I've been trying to call him for days. Aren't you even a little bit worried?
Sure, we are worried. But not the way you are, see?
How is my worry any different than yours?
You fell for him hard.
You fell real hard too.
[breathes deeply]
Okay, I already know all about… the great big family feud of yours,
or whatever you want to call it. Maran told me about it. All right?
Big family feud.
What family feud?
How is it you're all so calm?
Huh?
What if something happened to him?
He said he had to hide, and you haven't been to school for days.
Tell me, please. Is Maran in trouble or what?
Pessoa, the author.
Do you know him?
Once, he fell in love.
And they asked him to describe how he felt.
He took a breath and said,
"There is a soothing agony in my heart."
[Shahsu scoffs]
Are you in agony, Shahsu?
All right.
I see what's going on here.
I can play this game with you.
And I can play very well.
We can size each other up,
hide secrets from each other,
intimidate one another.
We can cry, laugh, whatever it is you want to do.
This is not a good time.
Let's not do this now.
[door opens]
[door shuts]
And all that for Maran.
I kinda like her.
[chuckles] Dad is totally gonna kill us.
[vehicle approaching]
Sir!
Sir?
What's wrong?
We're pregnant, sir.
Medine is with child.
[Salih] Oh!
[Davut panting]
May God give them health.
[chuckling sobs]
Thank you, sir. [sobbing]
[suspenseful music builds]
Maran?
[ominous music builds]
Cihan?
How did you find me?
I know, Shahsu.
I know about everything.
Do you want it all to end?
[inhales]
Come.
[intense music playing]
And how did you end up finding me?
Am I late?
[ominous music builds slowly]
I could never understand any of it.
What's with all this suffering for love?
All the drama.
For some reason love is measured by the amount of pain you endure.
Is that really all there is?
Can you let yourself go, completely?
Can you accept it?
And in the beginning there are all those big words and promises.
"I will love you as you are."
"Oh, I've never felt this way with anyone before."
Not true.
[car accelerating]
People will never be absolutely happy.
The minute you say you're happy,
something inside you starts sneaking around
or looking for problems, and some fault in your lover.
You think you're changing.
But you start changing them.
-Cihan. -And eventually, you screw it up.
Really think you'll find what you're looking for, Shahsu?
Cihan.
-[engine revving] -[tires skidding]
Cihan, come on! You're starting to scare me.
Do you want to perish chasing after a shitty dream?
-[engine revving] -[tires skidding]
Cihan, stop what you're doing right now!
-Slow down! -Does it scare you, Shahsu?
What's wrong with you? Of course it does. Now, slow down, dammit.
Oh, how the humans love feeding the thing called love with anxiety.
[Shahsu] Cihan.
