I turned my back on myself. But you can see it hasn’t changed anything.” “Maybe it’s you who does not want to change.”

-1:31:40 Asli to Ferhat: “You solve everything with weapons and restrictions. Where is love? Have you ever stroked Gulsum’s hair and asked how she was doing?” “This is who I am. If you don’t like it, there’s the door. …. If you kiss a frog for 40 years, he still won’t be a prince.”

Episode 16

-1:16:43; 1:27:04 Azad to Ferhat: “I know you are saying, ‘I am the dark passenger and I will destroy her.’ That is wrong! A woman is like soil. You be the sun and rain. Then watch how she will welcome you with a thousand buds. The man who loves a body is called a guy. A man who loves a soul is called a real man. If you fell in love, then love like a real man. Do not throw her away like this. If you have hope on one side and fear on the other, it is like wings. You must have both to fly. …. Let her cure you. You’re running from yourself and not her.” Ferhat: “I’m afraid of destroying her.”…. Azad: “Do you have any idea what she’s enduring to keep you from falling?” *Best scene yet! So RICH! Watch scene here.

You’ve accepted being ‘the darkness, a swamp, and a monster.’ Why? Because it is easier. Have you ever worked to get out of the darkness? No. Why? Because you feel strong there. … Do you have the courage to erase your past and write it again? You didn’t even have the courage to look me in the eye and tell me you loved me. …. You already gave up on me. Let me go! Let me go!” He holds on to her, crying, then spins her around and kisses her. OMG! Amazing!

**A FANTASTIC episode!!

Episode 17

-Ferhat catches up to her. Asli: “I’m leaving…. Did you call Ayhan and tell her to start divorce proceedings? But you were too much of a coward to even tell me.” “Get in the car!” “I will not! …. Didn’t you tell me to get this fairy tale out of my mind? I did. You got along fine before me, barking orders, then you met me and got lost in a country where you didn’t know the language. But I would have taught you! I would have taught you to say ‘my beloved sister’ and ‘my mother.’ Not ‘get in the car,’ but ‘I love you.’ …. You can’t see that I love you!” She tries to get out of the moving car and they crash. Watch here.
