Bölüm 31. “Love”
The title of this episode is “Love”. I will talk about it later.
The episode opens with a recap of the sweet talk between Savas, Yasemine, and little Omer. Savas choked up and was speechless, when Omer called him “Baba”. It was a beautiful moment. Savas called Omer “astan oglum”, that we have heard other times as well. There are many given versions of its translation in numerous films, literally meaning “lion son”. It is not the son of a lion, it means strong and powerful as a lion.
Nazan and Savas confrontation. It was such a shame for a woman her age to lie and continue lying that way till the end of their conversation. Nazan is not a bad person at heart; two things are happening to her: First, she has been cocooned all her life, so at the age of 35, she doesn’t have any social cues and still isn’t able to recognize and understand the difference between good and bad people; but rather she behaves in an immature manner, almost childlike. Second, she has been victimized by tradition, essentially ruining her life. Savas gives an attempt to be civilized with Yavuz and Sahnur talking and letting Yavuz come to the house, however, is hurting her a lot. She thinks Bora is her good friend/companion and now husband, the only person that loves her. Her ending the conversation by calling a name to little Omer, wasn’t good at all. No matter that Yasi specifically asked Savas to be cool and talk to his sister, he couldn’t refrain himself: he spanked her. Right at that moment he felt bad about it, very bad. The story came full circle: in the first episode he was the one who protected and felt sorry for her sister when their mother spanked her. And she said to him: “I believed my pleasant and educated brother wouldn’t except this marriage” (the marriage of Cicek and Kemal). I can’t fully understand Sava’s tone in their conversation. He is cool and collected when he talks to Cicek, no matter how mad he might be at her that moment. But, here in this scene, he starts with an angry tone, and at some point, he shakes her by taking her from her shoulders. I think he doesn’t like her going around and meeting men in the park like a teenager, and most of all he doesn’t like Bora at all, because he knows he is a deceiver. I remember from season 1, he had the same angry face when his mother showed him Cicek’s pictures socializing with friends. It was Nadya who talked to him and changed his mind. I went back and played the scene of Sahnur spanking Nazan, and the one Savas and Nazan next to a car in Van the night of Kemal’s weeding. He looked very different: nice, relaxed, laid back. Here he is very tense and worried. I think the weight of the family problems,
the clan and his complicated personal life have had a toll on him.
I think Hakan is talking on the phone with his mother- in- law, because he calls her Safiye Anne instead of simply Anne.
I like the parallel between Cicek with her phone on her hands waiting for Savas to call her and he never calls, and Savas calling Yasemine and wanting to be with her, needing her. More and more they are becoming the only one for each other.
Nazan and Bora left the town, they are in their hotel room. By the way the bed is very big, or so it looks to me, bigger than a king size bed. Nazan is worried and misses her son and wants to call home. Bora convinces her not to talk to her family because he is afraid they might hurt her, and he is the only one who is “loving” and “protecting” her. What a despicable man he is!
Apparently, nobody can fall asleep tonight thinking of their problems: Baran, Nazan, Ahmet, Yavuz, Yasemine, little Omer, Savas and Pala. This segment has my favorite LP sound track: the song that Scout found, “Istanbul” by Ozer Arkun. I like the mix of cello and the drums in it, it is very epic and in the movie is always associated with Van and/or Van issues: “Tore”. It is a beautiful song!
Savas is tired and he is going away for some days with Yasemine and Omer. As much as he is trying to live a normal life and be happy with Yasemine and their son, as much his enemies are working to destroy it:
-Yavuz questioned Cicek about her relationship with her husband, and no matter that she insisted they were ok, he has his doubts. Now, he is more eager with his revenge. He pledges $300,000 and acts all cool and rich. Poor Yasemine is so happy about that, she praises God. I also like her outfit here. She wears a huge blue ring with matching earrings (note: unusual color combination jewelry and outfit).
-Mehmet is trying to hack on Savas’s computer at work. He is so eager about it.
-Ahmet Moran is working on doing a drug shipment through Orhan.
Now comes the part of the episode, that gives it the title and makes you remember this episode: “Love”. It is a segment of almost 4 minutes. It starts with a quiet, beautiful shot of their house in the dark at night and no music just some light sound effects. They both lying in bed. Savas with a happy face and shining eyes says that they should live there thereafter, because that is their house. And Yasemine with a beautiful smile in her face liking so much what she just heard, just nods at him. This is the only dialog of the entire scene (fourteen words at all). And here the music starts: it is a version of “Hungarian Dance” No 5 of Johannes Brahms. It shows Savas and Yasemine spending time at their house together with little Omer. They make love; they cook and eat from the pot and have fun at and with each other; play with Omer, that is the cutest and most adorable little person; take strolls in the park; get caught in the rain; stay in the porch; make love and spend time together. In this segment words are made out of music, looks, smiles, laughs, hugs and kisses. At some point they are in their living room, Yasemine is putting Omer to sleep and Savas is spending time in his computer. He gets his head up and looks at her, and they both look at each other. This is the “conversation”I “hear”: You are amazing, you can do everything, you love me with so much passion, you love and take care of our son, you are smart and beautiful. I adore you! How did I find you? And she answers back: I love you too, and I am very happy and peaceful right now… I have to note that I don’t remember (please, tell me if you do) to have seen such a dignified love scene, so beautiful and so classy. And the music makes it more tender and special. The lighting and the effects are also very beautiful. So far, their house has served as a hugging, comforting, get away from ugly reality place. And all we have seen in this house is them being worried and unhappy and coming there for escape. But now this is the house of love and happiness. So, all we see and hear is the beautiful music and these lovely tender moments. Nothing extraordinary, things that every couple would do in every day life, but for them this is paradise. And they end these five beautiful days with some nice, sweet words. An emotional Savas kisses Yasemine’s hand and says: Teşekkür ederim, sagol bu aşk için (Thank you, thank you for this love).
They both return to reality: Yasemine comes in the office, and Savas goes to meet Esref. Yasemine looks beautiful in this outfit, brown velvet jacket and white shirt. I like her makeup, I think this is my favorite: simple. Her jewelry also; she is wearing a beautiful ring. She says to Sevgi that her days with Savas and Omer looked like cennet (heaven), and called herself salak (stupid, goofy) for saying all these words.
I don’t know, but it feels good seeing Mehmet getting bitten. I like how Esref helps him get up, cleans him and “is worried” he might get an infection there in the ground.
Nazan and Bora are in Marmaris. It is a small beautiful resort town south of Bodrum
Cicek comes home and looks half crazy. She looks like she is about to burst any moment. And so, she does. She burst at Fidan. Poor sweet Fidan!...
Cicek and Savas fight is played very well by Feride. Here it sounds like Savas is fighting with Yavuz. Cicek is repeating back what Yavuz told her in Van. Cicek is angry at the whole world.
The scene at the office, Hakan brings his daughter at work. The secretary calls Lara kucuk hanim (young lady, miss). And Hakan’s last name is Tan. Good to know. I don’t like how Feride (Cicek) played here.
Yavuz meeting with Yasemine and Sevgi. Yavuz is hitting on Yasemine. In my opinion he is playing with the fire. He is all lies, talking with big numbers. I don’t believe he has that much money, but he is expecting to do drug business that’s why.
At this point I don’t understand, Cicek told Yavuz she is in good terms with Savas. Now she admits to him that Yasi is his girlfriend? I don’t understand it. I just want to note the fact that it is now that Cicek learns about her brother working with Yasemine.
The Baldar truck with drugs is traveling to go to its destination. The police stop the truck. The cell phones are ringing: Savas learns his sister is back in town; Ahmet Moran learns the police got the truck. Savas gives Yasemine the keys to her new BMW. I think Yasemine looks better in the BMW compared to the red truck, no matter that we might associate it with their first days together…..
The end of the episode can be summed with one word: “Punishment”.
