You're watching Kültür News, where you won't be disappointed.
Who acts like a burglar in their own home?
If they're going through Nevra Kültür's famous wardrobe…
YOU DO YOU
These are exports. I can't show them to you, ma'am.
We need to take matters into our own hands.
As you can see, there's nothing but filling in the box.
Unfortunately, this is just another case of fraud export.
There are no such journalists anymore.
Hey, Merve! Did you go through my wardrobe again?
But, Mom, it's for a job interview. I thought you'd be fine with it.
How many times have I told you, Merve? You do not touch my clothes!
You look so tacky too.
I pull strings to land you an interview, and this is how you dress?
Not with Leyla Madralı, though, the editor of the best fashion magazine,
but with its finance manager.
When will you give up? Don't get your hopes up.
What's that?
I figured I'd show Ms. Leyla my work if I ran into her.
Stop chasing fashion already. You studied business!
Merve. With Mercury and Uranus clashing, we need to be prepared.
Oh my! What are we going to do?
She always picks the worst days.
Luckily, Şehmuz is resourceful.
Here. These are sage leaves.
Scatter them around the room before the interview.
Crush them first. Sprinkle the corners.
I'm going to get myself fired anyway.
-Again? -Yeah.
Wow!
I'm not even surprised.
See? I'm totally not.
-How do I look? -Amazing. You're my favorite model.
Wait. Have some herbs and cheese. It'll make you smarter.
What would I do without you? I really don't know.
Anyway, I'm off.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
The pockets look so nice.
They're patch pockets. No one uses them anymore.
Wasn't Nevra mad you went out like this?
She was all over it. She loved it.
She'd love to see me in an office. That day would be the end of me.
Don't be so sure. You don't know what life will bring.
Your mom just wants you to be on your feet, financially speaking.
I don't want money.
I just want to design.
Mom should get used to the idea.
Are you sure?
Yes, sir. Rent is their only income.
It's time, then. Inform the residents.
As you wish.
Well…
You really have a unique style.
Here we go again.
I get that a lot, Mr. Levent. Thank you for your time.
I hope you'll pay me too.
Amazing. I appreciate your sense of humor and your candor.
I need to up my game. He's resilient.
Your mother is an old friend.
She's an esteemed journalist and quite a remarkable lady too.
-Were you in love with her? -Beg your pardon?
Everyone was, apparently.
I just got that vibe from you as well.
I see you studied business. Where have you worked before?
-Nowhere. -So, no experience.
-No will to work, rather. -Why's that?
Because I hate capitalism
and companies that exploit anything and everything.
You're killing us slowly, like processed sugar.
Let the people create and be free!
You've preyed on us long enough!
I admit I like to put on a show.
Doors closing.
You have a distinct style.
A style you'd never get in this gray hell.
Right. What do I know anyway?
The photoshoot for the new collection will be held in Galata, Ms. Leyla.
The car's ready.
Did you just say "Leyla"? Leyla who?
Leyla Madralı, our editor-in-chief.
Did you bring your portfolio?
No. It's just my finance and accounting work.
I see.
Doors closing.
Erdem?
-Merve? -Erdem?
Oh, come on, Erdem!
I'll be right back, honey.
Hey, Merve. Hang on a second.
I don't want to hear it, Erdem.
-You're cheating on me. -It's not what it looks like.
Yeah, right. Who is she? Your sister?
Look. I am cheating, but I'm cheating on her with you.
Excuse me?
Listen, I like her a lot.
But she's all suspicious now.
How about you tell her you're my sister or my cousin?
Please, I'm begging you.
You're cheating on me, huh?
Merve!
Here's where I feel the best.
I wish it were mine and only mine, though.
Sorry, I didn't see you, babe.
Don't worry about it, "babe."
I'm home.
What's up? Did someone die?
Şehmuz?
Gülgün?
-Hamdi. -Nevra?
Are we playing Spud or something? What's going on?
Mom?
-Your father. -What does he have to do with all this?
He sold the building.
Which building?
Which do you think? This building.
-Why? -He's bankrupt.
He owes the bank a lot of money.
Why do we care?
Because we're homeless now.
The lawyer stopped by.
We need to move in two months.
-Can't we just buy it? -With whose money?
We're broke.
Humans are so strong
that all it takes is for them to genuinely want something.
I believe in that power.
Don't be ridiculous.
Some building contractor bought it so it could be rebuilt.
It's all about money. How can we stand up to them?
I can never set up shop again. It's just over.
Cards show no change in your location.
I'd tell you if it had.
But my plants and my cats would die if they were to move.
No, I can't move.
Hang on.
The guy left us 15 years ago. Aren't you divorced, Mom?
Don't you own the apartment now?
Don't we? Isn't it in my name and everything?
Who owns the place?
How can they throw us out?
Mom?
Aren't you divorced, Mom?
What do you mean you're not? It's been 15 years! How?
Mommy? Huh? Mommy?
Only I decide when to divorce him.
He has a kid with someone else, Mom.
You didn't divorce him hoping he'd come back?
Far from it.
He can't set foot in this apartment.
I see. You didn't do it so he wouldn't get remarried.
"You're either mine or in the grave."
Well done!
Now Daddy can put us in the grave.
This is karma.
What goes around bites you in the… Something like that.
What do you mean we're broke?
I haven't worked in years, Merve. What I'd saved is gone by now.
We have to move.
You have a lot on your shoulders.
You need to get a proper job.
Oh no! No! This is a nightmare!
Nil.
Nil?
My phone's dead.
Nil? Murat?
-It worked well. -It was amazing.
Excellent timing. Bravo, Merve.
I'd say the current is enough.
I think it was too much. She's in shock.
I'll fix her.
Hang on a second. Wait. What current? Stop!
Stop it. Current? Shock?
The boys designed this to deter burglars. They expect me to advertise it.
We'll be rich. I won't be up all night thinking about start-up ideas anymore.
Seriously? You really liked it?
So you'll break into people's homes in a bear costume?
I'll produce the bear, and we'll sell them.
We'll be rich.
This is such a fitting end to my day.
If only I had died too!
What's going on?
That's the story.
That really sucks.
Those people are my family.
I can't imagine a life without them.
We need to find a way to get the building back.
Are you insane?
You're right. Apparently, we're broke anyway.
If I came up with a marketable app, we could buy the entire neighborhood,
but I can't.
A new idea. Something smart.
All they do is chase girls.
"Tuğba2002."
We need a dating app, man. That'd sell.
You can't really get to know a guy you find online, though.
Take Erdem. Look what he did. He fooled me.
Sure. "We'll make an app just for you with a guarantee to find your soulmate."
Don't mock me, Nil.
You'd rather believe a stranger.
But everyone has a mask on.
But I'm not scared to tell the truth when I have a mask on.
Tell us the truth, then.
I love you, Nil.
Don't be ridiculous.
It's gorgeous.
What if there were an app where everyone actually had masks on,
so they could tell the truth without fear and be sincere?
And then what?
That way, you could find the one for you, your soulmate.
Don't be ridiculous, Merve.
Actually, that's not a bad idea.
An app for those who seek their soulmate.
-Geeks and nerds would totally go for it. -I would!
I would make the masks for us to sell.
We'd charge for video chats. That's easy to code.
Babies can do it.
Let's do animal masks. Animals don't lie.
A wounded gazelle mask would suit you.
Can we really do it?
We can.
How do we sell it?
You can sell anything with the right packaging.
I'll take care of that. Relax.
-We're doing it. -We are.
Don't you chase after Erdem. I'll kill you.
Don't be ridiculous, Nil. I'm not desperate.
Men and I go back a ways.
Even my dad screws me over.
Go tell him off.
It's about time you did.
He can go to hell. I'm about to lose my home because of him.
Get a job and start working, then.
Get your own place.
It's not like I inherited a house either.
Here. Check it out.
It's vacant. It's cheap.
You can work during the day and design at night.
Here?
No. I need to be in my own environment, where I can create.
Is that so now? Would you look at the little lady?
She can't create unless she's in her mom's warm embrace.
Did you show Ms. Leyla your portfolio?
No.
She's on leave.
She's at her summer house.
Dammit, Merve.
I just can't do it.
I get all shy and start babbling. I can't talk.
I told you a hundred times.
Set up an Instagram page, start a hashtag, upload photos of your work,
and build a brand.
"Set up Instagram, start a hashtag, build a brand."
Can anyone at the company watch this interview?
Exactly.
If you get a lot of likes, you'll be hired.
Actually wanting the job for once feels so weird.
You have your first dislike already.
Ms. Merve, why are you so interested in fashion?
I believe everyone can express their outlook on life and lifestyle
through what they wear.
So I see fashion as a way to express myself.
Not as a giant multibillion industry,
but rather as a hobby?
Just like me. I'm a lovely girl. Please, just like me.
Of course not. It's about money.
It's all that matters. I'm here for the money.
Listen, sister.
We were raised to love cotton and yarn.
We've become one of the biggest in the industry,
but what couldn't we become?
-Humane? -What?
No. We're as humane as it gets, but we couldn't become a big brand.
-We lack vision. -I can fix that!
See, I'm full of vision.
I'm not going to lie. I like you.
Let me show you your workplace.
-Really? -Sure.
Thank you so much.
This is unbelievable. Thank you so much.
Listen, honey.
The iron is where you grasp the basics.
It's the soul and the heart of the job.
Keep that in mind.
Now, good luck to you.
Hello?
I'm shivering, Merve. It's a miracle.
What happened?
We have a meeting with Anıl Gürman tomorrow.
Who's that?
You're so clueless.
He's the guru and the biggest investor in the start-up market.
And quite a flirt.
Drop the lady off wherever she wants.
When will I see you again, Anıl?
He's truly something else.
Welcome, sir.
He used to live in China.
Then he started WhatIsThis, an e-commerce platform.
Then he sold it to the Chinese.
He's loaded.
Morning. We'll talk later.
It's like a dream.
I'm so busy with all the start-ups.
I can't keep up with our actual work.
I'm sure you can.
I wish I could find just one of these exciting.
"Soulmates." What is this?
A dating app. Nonsense, if you ask me.
They want to pitch right away.
Everyone's business is urgent.
-Merve Kültür and a start-up, huh? -You know her?
I'll meet with them tomorrow.
Cancel my other meeting.
All right.
I'll cancel it.
It's such a big opportunity.
We need to be at our best there.
We're finishing this tomorrow.
Listen.
Put on your most striking design, all right?
-Again? -Mom?
Your daughter's on her way to a big meeting.
-Is the interview at a circus? -It's not an interview.
We're pitching our new app to a big investor.
If they like it and invest,
and if the app gets popular and we sell it to another investor,
we can buy the building back.
It does sound far-fetched.
Let's tell our neighbors and put their minds at ease.
Get used to it. This is how it works.
You can't do an interview dressed like that.
This is my style, Mom. This is who I am.
Fine. You do you and don't take heed of my years of experience, all right?
If I were an investor,
I wouldn't give a dime to someone who looks like that.
Not a dime!
And don't touch my wardrobe again!
"You do you and don't listen to me. You do you."
I like your style.
Can you take my photo?
Hang on. With this.
Like this. And one like this.
Thank you.
"You do you…"
Let's see how well I do on Instagram.
If I had your style, I'd be flying high, babe.
You're already flying high, babe.
"#YouDoYou."
NEW POST - MERVE KÜLTÜR #YOUDOYOU
Let's see.
-Thank you. -Enjoy.
Easy!
It burns!
Thank God my shoes are fine. You're a bit clumsy, aren't you?
What kind of person are you?
Are you even a person?
My pants are ruined.
Arrogant jerk, talking about his shoes!
I'm going to be late because of that lunatic.
Wow. Bravo. I can't even tell.
You know your fashion. Nice.
It's a big advantage for someone as clumsy as you.
How do you like that?
Nice buttons. Now, if you'll excuse me.
You think it's a good idea, coming here with a mask on?
Can't you see the attention we're getting?
I can't.
Everyone's looking at us.
We're making a big impression.
Welcome, guys.
Thank you so much for having us, Mr. Anıl.
Let me introduce our team.
This is our creative art director Murat.
Hey. Awesome mask, by the way.
Our coders Ali and Fikret.
And Merve, the mastermind behind the app, our creative genius.
I'm already a fan of Ms. Merve's creative genius.
I'm so sorry--
No, no.
I'm the one who needs to apologize for being an arrogant jerk.
Do you two know each other?
We don't have much time. Let's start.
The stars must've clashed and made a mess before I was born.
That would totally explain my luck.
Let's go.
What was our slogan, Murat?
"Masks reveal the truth."
Right.
For instance, Murat's bear will encounter Merve's gazelle.
He'll choose to pay for a chat…
And with the extra confidence,
he'll share his darker side, his fears, and his dreams.
So he'll get a chance to find his soulmate who accepts him for who he is.
We'll also sell the beautiful masks our talented artist Murat designed.
In short, we need to commence the test phase of our app, Soulmates…
Start right now. Get the beta ready. Discuss the finances.
I'll get 50% of your app and cover all the expenses.
We'll use our server infrastructure. All right?
Thanks. Have a nice day.
Ms. Merve.
I apologize. I'm really sorry.
-Would you consider working at WhatIsThis? -As who?
Our ready-made department needs a new set of eyes.
Merve's a fashion designer.
I'm not a designer. Just an enthusiast. It's a hobby.
What do you think, Seza?
It's your call, after all.
Can I get an advance?
I'm joking.
I'm a jokester.
But I work hard. I never get bored.
I'll try not to get bored. I'm a hard worker.
-Let's go, Merve. -Yes. Thank you. Take me away.
-So what do you think? -It's nonsense.
Who would wear a mask and video chat to find their soulmate?
There are a million apps that get straight to the point.
You're not looking for your soulmate?
I don't have time for relationships.
Everyone knows that.
Why invest if it's nonsense?
Don't I deserve to have some fun?
-Handle the new girl. -I don't need her.
That's even better. Make her squirm.
Make her run away in tears.
But why?
KÜLTÜR CORNERS PHANTOM EXPORTER
FAMOUS BUSINESSMAN SEDAT GÜRMAN PASSED AWAY
Today, we found the investor we've been looking for,
and I finally found a job.
The plan has been set. We'll develop our app.
Then we'll buy our building back with the money.
-Amazing. Bravo! -Excellent. Bravo!
-Here's to Merve, then. -Yeah.
These kids will save us.
This is the stupidest plan ever.
You can stop global warming, but not Nevra Kültür.
Do you have a better plan?
This is our only hope.
Why do you think I cooked all this?
Because we've been depressed.
Enough already!
I believe it. Merve's going to save us.
Not just me. Us. We're a team.
The food is delicious, Gülgün. You should make money out of it.
It's what I always wanted, but I don't have any money.
-Maybe I'm just not an entrepreneur. -But I am.
You cook, I advertise.
And I want to be on the stage. Please, God.
-Yeah. That's what we need. -What? You have to be passionate.
Would you look at that?
Hey, Nil. Someone's really into you.
-It's a bride's veil. -Wow.
-You see that? -You go, girl.
Our investor, Anıl Gürman, is quite handsome.
You seem to like him.
What? No way.
His last name is Gürman?
Yeah. Why?
It sounds familiar. A coincidence, I guess.
GÜRMAN APARTMENTS
Don't you hear all the alarms? The entire neighborhood can.
-Get up. You're going to work. -But they said, "Come in whenever."
-Would you please get up? -But they said so.
It's so loud too. Unbelievable.
Merve! Get up. Just get up.
-Look at me. -Look.
-Open your eyes. Look at me. -Open.
-Are you awake? -I am.
Okay. Get ready right now.
I will.
What are you doing, Mom?
First impression is key. I need to win them over.
Morning, Ms. Seza.
Don't call me that, Kültür. It's just "Seza."
We call each other by name here.
Awesome.
Just the workspace I needed. Friendly and sincere. Amazing.
Is that so? Work starts at 8:30 a.m. in this sincere workspace, though.
You're fired if you're late again, Kültür.
And I'm Zeynep.
Congratulations.
This is your desk.
Go ask HR for a laptop. Take responsibility.
Anıl delegates responsibility and holds us accountable.
Let's keep you busy.
-She's a fashion designer, remember? -Right.
Go examine everything ready-made in the warehouse and report on it.
Report whether we have everything in every size.
Compare our articles with our rivals'. Report the differences in price and model.
Have the report on my desk tomorrow.
Is she always like this?
Watch your step.
The walls have ears.
I see. Thank you.
You're welcome.
By the way, don't ever see me as your friend
because I always side with the powerful.
Now I know why my mom loved corporate life so much.
Excuse me.
That's enough.
Is the warehouse flooded?
-It's 7:00 a.m. -Mom!
Here's the report.
It's no good. Do it again.
700 LIKES - #YOUDOYOU
Here I am.
-Merve. -Yeah?
Look what we did.
You see more avatars as you swipe.
You tap one, you start chatting.
-If both sides agree… -It becomes a video chat.
-Well done. It looks amazing. -There's an issue here. Look.
Of course.
What?
It looks incredible, Murat.
You're such an artist, I swear.
It's a custom order. Their driver will pick it up.
-Our customer has a driver. -Wow!
Hang on. Now, the real surprise…
I'm done with yours.
It's gorgeous!
-Incredible! This is beautiful, Murat. -It suits you.
-How do I look? -Perfect.
Hey, Nil. Aren't Murat's masks awesome?
Later.
I don't exist. I'm invisible.
Don't give up, all right?
Nil. Hey, Nil!
Put on our track. Put it on.
Everyone put their masks on. Come on.
Listen, guys. Let's have a party.
Everyone attends wearing masks, then takes them off at midnight.
Like Halloween. Right?
Merve Kültür, your creativity knows no bounds!
-Can you see at all? -No.
-Hey, Merve. Hand this over. -Sure.
Here you go.
Good night.
Stop.
Let's keep going.
-Morning. -Morning.
-Why are you here this early?
He's here talking his head off every morning.
This is a place of business, not a café.
I add spice to your gloomy life. What are you talking about?
I'll be rid of you and your "vibes" soon.
Don't say that. No one's going anywhere.
We'll save the building.
The stubborn old fart won't listen.
I love these pockets.
Don't you have work to do?
I'm gathering my strength. They have it in for me.
It's like they hired me to torture me.
Be smart, then. Turn it into a game.
Don't be a pushover. Trust me. I know how that feels.
The job is temporary, anyway.
Let's follow the plan. We need to find out who the buyer is.
How about asking your no-good father?
I'm late, so I'm off. Bye.
See? She just runs away.
Just go and ask him. Pour your heart out. Right?
No, seriously…
Her mom would be so mad.
Merve's just a kid.
When my father rejected me, I couldn't say what was on my mind.
Then he died.
And now, every night, I keep having fights with him in my head.
You're a kid too.
You can't grow up until you stand up to your parents.
This one's sold.
But it looks tacky.
-Let's pair it with this. -It's what they bought.
#YOUDOYOU - @WHATISTHIS
Seza, come here right now.
You're done with the ready-mades.
Go to the main warehouse, Kültür.
Let's keep the game going, then.
-Should I just fire her? -No. Not yet.
Why does it matter who the buyer is?
All right. I know.
It wasn't fair to you.
But I was in a tough spot myself.
-I mean, after my son was born-- -And I'm your daughter.
I had a right to that building.
Of course, but you're an adult now.
You're 26.
I'm 24.
Right. You're 24.
But when they handed you to me at the hospital--
I was born in a studio.
Remember how Mom worked up until the last second?
Right. The studio. That's where they handed you to me.
You were so cute.
You weren't there. You were on a safari.
Right. The safari.
Just forget about that stuff.
Look. You can do whatever you want in life.
Hardship makes you stronger.
I want you to be stronger.
In time, you'll realize I'm doing you a favor.
I'm going to say it this time.
-You're doing me a favor? -Yeah.
You've created a big, dark void in my tiny soul
by abandoning me at an age when I needed attention the most.
Now I keep getting attached to the wrong men
in search of a safe haven
to fill the endless, insatiable, incurable void.
Now you went and sold the only place where I felt safe, our home,
and left us out on the street without any means, help or protection!
Is that going to make me stronger? How is this a favor?
How is this a favor? Tell me!
I think I did it.
Honey.
Is there anything you need?
I can give you some cash.
It's the least I can do.
What are you doing, Mom?
I could sell these.
We need to look for a place.
We're not looking for a place.
We're getting the building back.
With what money?
We can't even pay the power bill.
Here. Use this.
-What is this? -Money. I have a job now, remember?
It's too soon. Where did you get this?
It's an advance.
On your third day?
Yes. They're that impressed with me.
Did you go to your father?
There's no fooling her. Ex-journalist, after all.
So what? He's my father.
I told you not to see him even if we were starving.
He's the reason why we'll end up homeless. You can't ever turn to him. Never!
Sure! We'll starve to death just so you can keep your pride, Mom,
since the world revolves around you.
I am doing something, at least,
but all you do is criticize me.
I'll turn to my father if I want to.
Maybe I wouldn't have grown up without a father
if you weren't so terribly stuck-up.
If you're such a legendary journalist, go figure out who the buyer is.
You keep getting in my way. Enough already!
I'm starting to like telling people off.
Awesome!

SOULMATES MEETUP PARTY
Let's go!
Something up?
I've done research on clothing brands owned by every e-commerce platform.
Why?
Remember how you needed a fresh set of eyes?
I see.
If I followed in my rivals' footsteps,
I wouldn't be where I am now, Kültür.
They should be following me.
When am I getting out of this place?
"Hang tight. Soulmates is trending."
"Anıl's bringing Chinese investors to the party."
Don't mention him.
Is this how you work?
That's a nice suit. Is it ready-made?
-Excuse me? -Is it ready-made or tailor-made?
It's ready-made, Kültür.
I think you should see a tailor.
A guy as meticulous as you should wear a custom-made jacket.
Those pockets don't suit you, for instance. Too basic.
I think you need patch pockets.
My neighbor's the best tailor in Istanbul. I can take you--
Get back to work!
That's how you blow someone's mind.
Hello, Gazelle Kültür.
Hello.
SOULMATES GAZELLE
GAZELLE K., 24
Hello, Gazelle Kültür.
Oh, wow. It's Soulmates.
Let's see if our app works.
Wow. Wolf, huh?
He wants to video chat.
Let's make some money.
Your mask looks amazing.
Yours too.
Thank you.
I think I'm supposed to fear you.
Why?
Well, you're a wolf, and I'm a gazelle.
You could tear me to pieces.
-Maybe I don't want that. -I hope so.
Do you live in Istanbul?
I do.
You?
I'm in Istanbul too.
What are you up to?
I've been working my butt off. How about you?
Well, it's a bit complicated.
I work a job I want but in a way I don't want to.
All right.
What's your goal in life?
My biggest goal is to become a fashion designer,
but I need money right now.
I need a lot of it.
How are you going to get it?
I've said a lot. It's your turn to talk now.
What's your goal in life?
To avenge my family.
Wow. You going to take revenge on the evil hunters?
What?
Well, you know, you're a wolf.
The hunter kills the pup's family.
The pup runs away, grows up rough.
Then he sets an ambush for the hunter.
What? He hung up.
I guess it became too much.
Who knows what he's been through?
A wounded wolf.
Well done, Gazelle. That was our first.
Excuse me.
-Here. I'll take one, babe. -No. It's not that.
Aren't you the girl running YouDoYou?
I am.
You have such a cult style. We love it!
I fashioned a style for myself based on your recommendations from WhatIsThis.
I created a monster.
Babe, you do you and never listen to anyone.
Not even me.
See you.
-Bye. -Bye.
Isn't her bag gorgeous?
-Look at her pants. -Beautiful.
60K FOLLOWERS
Oh wow! I am a cult figure.
Cult…
Merve Cult.
The voice of the streets.
-Good afternoon. -How may I help you?
I want a blazer.
Do you have a model in mind?
I was thinking of patch pockets.
Why?
I don't want something ordinary. I know a bit about fashion.
If you did, you wouldn't walk around wearing that.
I'm a customer, sir. Why are you treating me like this?
Look. I tell it like I see it.
These items will be my last. They're kicking me out.
If you like my work, fine.
Or go buy ready-made stuff so I won't have to bother.
You've brought your own fabric?
Yes. A very special fabric.
-I guess power was out when you picked it. -Excuse me?
It's not suitable for blazers.
What would be suitable, then?
Leave that to me, all right?
How did you hear about me?
An acquaintance.
Thank them for me.
Oh wow. It's Wolf.
I don't have my mask. Hang on.
Hang on a second. I'll go put something on.
GAZELLE
I'm coming.
I'm still at work.
Just having some kokoreç and airan.
WhatIsThis's latest slave, Merve Kültür.
You're so lucky you're your own boss.
I created my own luck.
You can do it too.
No one listens to me here.
-What would you do if they did? -Well…
I was just thinking about that before you called.
Listen.
All our rivals own clothing brands, all right?
WhatIsThis doesn't.
I get that they don't want to be like everyone else.
There are creative minds out there. People want that.
I mean, I don't know.
What if we held a contest
and let the creative folk compete?
We could mass-produce the winner's collection.
I think that'd be great publicity, and creative minds would get a chance.
We're good at distribution already.
I talked a lot. I bet he'll run off.
Why don't you share it with your boss?
What good would it do?
Look. If you don't take a step, you stay where you are.
Someone else will take it and seize the opportunity.
Nice. Is that a proverb?
It's my philosophy.
I heard it from a Chinese sage.
Awesome.
I'm glad we've become friends.
But my boss could be watching right now.
I take it you don't like the guy.
I wish you were my boss.
Anyway, I'll listen to your advice, Wolf.
Hey, Anıl. I'm starving.
I assume you'll take me somewhere fancy.
Thanks. Good night.
Here.
You're kidding, right?
Why? You don't like kokoreç?
I can't believe you're treating me like this.
Let's stock up on vermilion.
-Can we talk, Seza? -You already are, Kültür.
Look. Taking inventory taught me a lot.
I got to experience the basics and the warehouse.
So I had an idea. May I share it with you?
-I don't have time. -All right. I'll be quick.
I believe WhatIsThis should start its own collection.
But in its own way.
I say we hold a contest and give young creators a chance.
Let's give everyone an environment
where they can express themselves and create their own unique style.
It'd be great publicity.
She stole it.
She literally took my idea.
That's a great idea, Seza.
Our distribution and marketing network is already flawless.
-True. -Excellent.
-Merve. -Yeah?
What's your take on Seza's idea?
If we don't take a step, we stay where we are.
Bravo, Seza. A great show of our pioneering attitude.
Our rivals should be following our lead.
-Congratulations. -Thanks.
This is how business is.
What would you do?
I'd join and win the contest out of spite and put everyone in their place.
Being a wolf suits you.
If you don't take a step, you stay where you are.
Anyway, I talked a lot again.
You're coming to the party, right?
You never know what a wolf will do.
He hung up again.
He did it again.
He hung up.
I feel weird.
Perfect.
I've never had such a well-fitting jacket.
Well, pardon my language, but it's what a fucking tailor does.
Can you use these buttons as well?
They're nice.
They'll suit the jacket.
Who was that young man?
My customers are entitled to their privacy.
Don't be stupid. You're not a psychologist.
He hangs out here a lot. I keep seeing his car.
He's Anıl Gürman. Merve's boss.
Why was he here?
I guess he wanted to get a jacket tailored
in the shop underneath his childhood home.
This can't all be coincidence.
-Don't tell Merve. -Right.
The jacket looks amazing.
Just amazing.
I love these pockets.
They're here, Merve.
I can't believe it. Everyone actually has a mask on.
It's nice that they know what they are.
You having fun?
See you.
It's midnight, all right.
Those who are looking for their soulmates,
are you ready?
Once the lights are out and the music is off,
it's decision time!
-You look nice. -You too.
Soulmates has brought you all together.
Excuse me.
It's up to you now.
-And… -Anıl!
-It's Anıl! -Let's turn off the lights!
KÜLTÜR CORNERS ANOTHER ONE
TO NEVRA
NİL COME TO THE BAR! ANIL'S HERE.
-Ms. Nil is part of the team. -Yes, I am.
Hey, Nil.
Anıl brought his Chinese guests to the party.
Are they Chinese? I couldn't tell because of the masks.
They are.
The Chinese, this is Merve. Merve, this is the Chinese.
Let me show you guys around.
Don't you have a mask?
No. I'm just here for business.
Just business?
Just business. What else could it be?
Well…
-You look beautiful-- -Excuse me.
Can I have a beer?
I'm sorry.
Thanks.
-You were saying? -What?
I didn't catch the last part.
I should take care of the guests. If you'll excuse me.
Look at them. They fashioned their own masks.
Freeloaders.
I'm desperate, Merve.
If you don't take a step, you stay where you are.
Someone will take it
and seize the opportunity.
Who told you that?
A Chinese sage.
WOLF - OFFLINE
You scared me, Murat. What is it?
I love you, Nil.
If only you'd tell me that without hiding behind a mask.
I love you, Nil.
I know.
But we don't have the time. Soulmates is what matters.
-Is Mrs. Nevra home? -No.
You need to vacate the building in 30 days, ma'am.
If you don't pay the rent owed, the confiscation process will begin.
Have a nice day.
Yeah, yeah. You too. Bye!
Annoying.
-Hey, Gülgün. -Yeah, honey?
I'm checking my Angel cards. You know they never mislead me.
-How is it looking? -Fine. Just fine.
Mom's not home. Did she tell you anything?
-No. -Must be looking for a place.
I can't bring myself to do it.
As if I could find a place.
-On a pension and with all the cats… -Don't look for a place.
I told you. We're not moving. Come on!
That's right. We're not going anywhere.
The party was amazing. The Chinese are interested.
We'll sell the app.
I promise you we'll get the building back.
Come here, honey.
I hope so, Merve.
-Don't you worry. -Oh, baby.
I'm off.
Good luck.
Let's see.
The Dragon.
All right. I think you represent China.
This one's important.
The Wolf. That means betrayal.
God forbid.
WHATISTHIS.CO
All right, folks. I have great news.
Ms. Leyla will lead our jury.
Thanks for accepting.
-How could I turn you down, Anıl? -Thanks. Here.
Everyone adores him. This is getting harder and harder.
First of all, I'm thrilled to be here.
Your idea of giving young creators a chance to build a unique collection
sounds very exciting to me.
We'll organize a big fashion show.
Ms. Leyla, as you know, here at WhatIsThis,
we've always cherished and supported young creators.
Can I participate in the contest too?
You know, as a young creator.
What was that, Merve?
Have we met before?
No, we haven't.
She's the YouDoYou girl.
You're the girl on Instagram.
Everyone's talking about you.
Really?
How did you discover such talent?
You're definitely participating.
I'd love to. If Anıl allows me, of course.
She has to.
Sure.
Thank you.
Cool.
With that out of the way, let's discuss the schedule.
Take notes, Seza.
Wait.
Undermining me publicly and asking Anıl, huh?
Stealing my ideas and pitching them to Anıl, huh?
When is Merve going to begin preparing for the contest, Seza?
After hours?
You're staying overtime from now on. Every night, till morning.
"Till morning."
If you're here for a fight,
don't bother, Nevra.
-I've let go of the past-- -Who is the buyer?
I don't know.
-What do you mean? -I just don't.
I was drowning in debt.
Some lawyer contacted me. He kept raising the offer.
So I had to sell it. I had no choice.
Some contractor, I guess.
I don't think so.
It's weird.
Sedat Gürman had sold it to me to cover his debts,
and now I sold it to cover my debts.
What goes around comes around.
I want a divorce.
Excuse me?
I want a divorce and need a lawyer.
But why me?
You're the only lawyer I know.
I haven't been acquainted with a lot of people lately.
Just come to an agreement.
It's not that simple.
He sold our building. My daughter should have a right.
-There's nothing I-- -You're the best option.
-Look-- -You know the details.
Its worth, what it went for…
-I can't share-- -The buyer, the price.
But I represent the buyer.
But Mr. Anıl doesn't need to know.
I'm suing my husband, not him.
I can't do this to him.
-I see. -It… It would be unethical.
All right.
No such journalists anymore.
The mask will fall.
Merve!
Be careful. It spilled everywhere.
Thank God my shoes are fine.
-You're okay, right? -I'm okay.
-Oh. -Oh, snap.
The power's out.
The generator will kick in. Don't worry.
If you don't take a step…
Merve? Are you okay, Merve? What happened?
Just wait. It'll kick in now. Don't worry.
I knew I could trust you.
Still, you shouldn't trust anyone.
Merve!
It'll come back.
The generator must've disengaged. It's normal.
See? It's back.
I'm not normal, though. I'm scared of the dark.
I get mental episodes or something.
-Really? -Yeah.
You're so sensitive.
Thanks for letting me participate in the contest.
The idea was yours anyway.
What? You knew?
I know everything around here.
The mask is slipping.
You gave me the idea.
Should we just…
-I mean-- -Yeah. We totally should.
-I'll get my bag. -Yeah.
All right.
-Anıl? -Merve?
Anıl?
It's okay.
It's back. Don't have an episode.
-But-- -Or go ahead. I don't know.
It won't give me a chance. It keeps coming back.
Would you want me to?
I mean, it's your mental episode, so it's your call.
How about I take your arm?
Sure. Let's do that. Yeah.
Yeah.
You can let go now. We're here.
Hey, Merve. You can let go. We're here. I mean, if you want to.
I think I overcame my fears. Thanks to you.
I haven't done anything. You…
You did it all by yourself.
Can we leave?
I feel like the elevator walls are closing in on me.
Sure. Let's leave.
I'll call you a cab. I don't want you to get wet in the rain.
He's Wolf, all right. He's all about the tides.
-A lot of lightning. -It's pouring.
Looks like it's slowing down.
I don't think so. Look at it. It's going hard.
How about I walk you to the cab?
-So you don't catch a cold. -Okay.
-Careful! Are you okay? -Yeah. I'm all right.
It just startled me. I'm okay.
-You okay? -Yeah.
I'm okay.
How about you take the next bus, kids?
-The cab's waiting. -Yeah.
Come on.
Good night.
See you.
WHATISTHIS.CO
And I present to you Nevra Kültür.
What are you after, Anıl Gürman?
I'll tear that building down,
and you'll suffer.
You'll pay for ruining my father's life and throwing us out on the street.
-You were supposed to be his friends. -Your father was weak.
He got involved in phantom exporting, so I did my job and exposed him.
We bought the building so your mom could pay the debts.
How sweet of you.
You think you can fool me, Nevra Kültür?
I document everything. There are no such journalists anymore.
Here. All of it.
Customs documents, photos, tax returns, every single invoice.
I'll kick your butt with my documents.
What does it matter?
What? Everyone did it back then.
But you… You wouldn't stop.
You seduced my father.
You took our home. You took my childhood from me!
Seduced him?
Your father was in love with me. Well, everyone was.
You're lying.
Am I?
Here you go, Gürman Junior.
The love letters he sent.
What? You don't want to see them?
Now, listen. You have the building. Tear it down if you want.
I am Nevra Kültür.
I will rise from the ashes,
but I will not have you hurt my daughter!
What do you have against Merve anyway?
If you want to take revenge on me, why go after her?
-Why are you toying with her? -I'm not.
But you are.
If you're man enough,
go tell her who you are and put an end to this silly game.
But you seem as weak as your dad.
Take the mask off. Leave her alone.
Got it?
WOLF MEET ME AT THE CAMONDO STEPS?
The boss went over the edge. Of course I'll meet you.
Take the mask off, Anıl.
You knew?
Why did you want to meet here?
I know you love the place.
I followed you once.
He's such a romantic.
The rain stopped.
Forgive me, Merve.
Here we go again.
Why? For the mask stuff? Don't worry about it.
It's behind us. Come back.
-Please forgive me. -Don't worry.
This conflicted attitude of yours makes you even more attractive.
You'll hate me once you find out.
But… I know I get even more attached as he keeps running away, but enough.
Anıl!
Damn it.
They fired me.
What's wrong?
Everyone left.
Who left?
Check the app.
MONTHLY PLAN - ANNUAL PLAN
What is this?
Mr. Anıl started to charge for membership.
Everyone's gone.
I wouldn't pay either.
It's too expensive.
What about the Chinese?
If I ever see him again, I know what I'm going to do to him.
Merve.
You know what happened today?
Mom?
What's wrong?
Look. Your bad news can't top mine. You can't take this from me.
Take a seat, Merve.
Sit down.
What's going on?
You're taking it, aren't you?
-I found out who bought the building. -Who is it?
Anıl Gürman.
-What? -Yeah.
See, his father…
I'M DEPRESSED!
-What are we going to do? -Come on.
Look at that photo.
You see how many likes she got?
Fifty thousand.
So many followers. She did all this in a month.
-In a month? -Yeah.
Mom! What are you doing?
Enough already.
No one can hurt my daughter but me.
-Get up. -Leave me alone.
Get up already. Hurry!
Up you go. Come on.
I want to sleep!
You have 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Everyone loves you.
You're Nevra Kültür's daughter. Snap out of it.
You are the star of your life. That's how I was.
Now get up and take the reins.
Here. Take these. Go meet Hamdi downstairs.
Cut them, rip them apart. Whatever you want.
Join the contest and win.
Are you sure, Mom? You can't let this stuff go.
Of course I'm sure. The old Nevra Kültür is dead.
A brand new Nevra Kültür will be born to take her place.
She somehow made it about herself again, but that's fine.
Let's move out and build ourselves a new life, Mom.
Let's do it, honey. Of course. Oh, my baby.
Should we tear this one apart?
I hate that padding anyway. Come on.
Cut it!
This is it. I'm Merve Cult now. The voice of the streets.
Stop looking at your reflection and work.
All right. I'm coming.
Wait! Open up.
-Easy. -All of it.
Delicious.
-Morning. -Morning.
WHATISTHIS.CO
All right. Thank you.
Up next, Merve Cult and her collection, YouDoYou.
All right. Okay. Let's do this.
-Calm down. -I'm calm.
This is the Merve Cult philosophy.
"Don't pay mind to anyone. Listen to yourself."
"Discover the power within."
"Whoever you may be, you do you!"
-Did we pull it off? -We did. You looked amazing onstage.
I'm raising my glass to Merve Cult,
the rising star of fashion.
-Bravo! -Well done, honey.
A star with a certificate!
Mr. Anıl isn't around. No production either.
Let him go to the other side of the world.
He can take his building and shove it.
We will rise from the ashes.
I'll raise my glass to that!
Wounded wolves take refuge among these rocks.
I broke someone's heart.
Why?
To get the building back.
I've spent my life chasing a lie.
There's no such thing as a futile effort.
There is nothing you can't overcome.
I lost her.
The woman I love.
If you really love her, go find her and talk to her.
If you don't take a step,
someone else will and they'll seize the opportunity.
If the flowers are worth picking, you should pick them.
Don't wait until they wither away only to regret not picking them.
He's gone.
You know what? I think you're my soulmate.
Come on, Nil. Stop mocking me.
No. I mean it.
What are you doing?
Will you marry me, Murat?
Are you serious?
Yes!
Of course yes! Yes!
Yes.
Careful. The cabinet is important.
I'm going to pass out. This is so hard.
Calm down, Şehmuz. They're handling it.
How could Gülgün leave me and go cook for a wedding reception?
This is the worst!
This is getting on my nerves.
I never thought this day would come.
Me too.
Mom! Something strange happened!
-What are you doing? -I'm throwing them out.
I'm sick of living in the past.
A friend is setting up an online news channel.
I'm going to help.
Cult News! What do you think?
Awesome.
She took "cult" too.
We have a guest, Mom.
What a relief! I feel lighter already.
We'll get a small apartment.
I'll pay the rent, and you'll build your brand.
-I thought about everything. -We have a guest.
-Good afternoon. -You?
Put everything back as it was.
If I feel a different energy, I'll blame you.
-Here you go. -What is this?
-What the… -He's all excited.
-Wow! No way! -Honey! This is amazing.
Is my contract there?
Is it… Is my contract in there as well?
Oh, you cutie!
We're not moving! We're not! The move is off!
Her plants… Put everything back as it was.
We're not moving!
Congratulations.
Finally.
-Congratulations, honey. -Thank you.
-I'll be right back. -Okay.
-Congratulations. -How dare you come here?
Hey! Calm down.
Calm down!
Calm down. I don't want to ruin the mood.
I need to talk to Merve. I'm letting go. Please stay calm.
Merve doesn't want to see you. Leave our wedding.
I need to talk to her.
Just five minutes of her time.
I'll leave after. I promise.
-Okay. My workshop is nearby. -I know.
Be there in ten minutes. She'll be there.
All right. Thank you. I won't forget this.
Oh, you definitely won't.
Here.
My new office. My new home.
You'll come help, right?
Of course I will.
-But what does Nevra think about this? -She'll get used to it.
She will.
Let's go.
-You'll come help me, right? -I'm not abandoning my shop.
I'd never think of such a fitting punishment.
It's my job.
-Is he dead? -No. He's in shock. I'll handle it.
Is this real, or am I daydreaming again?
Anyway.
The guy's convulsing.
Let's save him. He's our landlord.
Merve keeps slapping the poor guy too.
Merve… Merve!
All right, Merve. All right! Stop!
Stop. Enough.
Merve…
We need to talk.
Talk before all the witnesses, then. I'm listening.
I made a mistake.
Please forgive me.
Oh, all right. Okay.
No! Wait! Merve!
You tricked me.
You toyed with me.
Because I've spent my life in pursuit of revenge.
I grew up with hate.
You lived my childhood
in my home, in my room.
But then,
once I met you,
I got confused, so…
I got confused for the first time in my life.
That's a nice speech, though. I'm getting goosebumps.
Yes, I toyed with you.
But then I supported you.
I was there for you.
It was the best thing I've ever done.
I've been scared of strong women all my life.
All my life.
You're the strongest woman I know,
but I'm not scared of you, Merve.
She's just like me. My strong daughter.
Let me show you the real me.
Without masks.
He's so handsome too.
I'll think about it.
You're future's bright, Merve Cult. I'm never wrong about this stuff.
I like those. You?
I like them too.
They look great.
Let's switch it up, then.
What do you think, Merve? Shall we?
Sure, honey.
After you, Ms. Leyla.
What was it? What goes around…
I'll never memorize it.
Anyway.
The one on the left.
So? You still haven't answered.
Will you give me another chance?
Everybody deserves a second chance.
