00:00:00♪
00:00:14After you.
00:00:16Oh, he was such a good boy.
00:00:18So brave. Just watch for chewing on the bandage.
00:00:20Okay. I've got a cone at home.
00:00:22Oh, great. You can take off the bandage in two days.
00:00:24And just call us if you see anything worrisome, okay?
00:00:26I will. Thanks, Dr. Ellison.
00:00:27You bet. Bye, buddy.
00:00:30♪
00:00:42Ah.
00:00:43So I double disinfected exam room four,
00:00:46and I'm making a note on that Great Dane's file
00:00:49to make sure he's taken outside for a bathroom break
00:00:51before the next exam.
00:00:54Thank you so much, Gabby.
00:00:55Yeah. Anything else you need before you leave?
00:00:57Just make sure the place doesn't burn down until I get back.
00:01:00Oh, uh, yes.
00:01:02Bruno the armadillo is coming in tomorrow.
00:01:04Kevin can totally handle it.
00:01:06Just remind him he has a tendency to, you know,
00:01:08walk off the exam table.
00:01:09Got it.
00:01:10Oh, and remind anybody else
00:01:12who is on night duty observing the animals.
00:01:14Will do.
00:01:15Thank you.
00:01:16Can I bring you back a souvenir?
00:01:18Ooh, yeah.
00:01:20Surprise me.
00:01:21I'll do my best.
00:01:24Just try to enjoy your trip.
00:01:27Thanks.
00:01:29♪
00:01:36Thank you. Thank you.
00:01:37Thank you so much. Very good.
00:01:39I appreciate it. Thanks for coming.
00:01:40Thank you.
00:01:41Thank you.
00:01:46Welcome back, Mr. Allen.
00:01:48Thank you.
00:01:49Was the conference good?
00:01:50Yeah, it was fine.
00:01:52Thanks.
00:01:53More business tomorrow?
00:01:55Actually, no.
00:01:58Might I suggest a tour?
00:02:00The city tour takes you to multiple places
00:02:03and beaches, Ephesus, Carpadocia.
00:02:05Very nice.
00:02:06Oh, I don't know.
00:02:08I was supposed to have some meetings the next two days,
00:02:10but turns out they got canceled.
00:02:12So I'll probably just change my flight and head home early.
00:02:15Can you see such wonders at home?
00:02:18I suggest an overnight tour.
00:02:20Oh, no, no, no. I don't know.
00:02:23Takes you to Ephesus a few hours away,
00:02:25and then next day you stay in a city nearby,
00:02:28and you go to Thermos Springs.
00:02:30Nice beaches, beautiful ancient cities.
00:02:32Very nice.
00:02:34Can I see it?
00:02:36Yeah.
00:02:39And I'd make it back in time for my flight?
00:02:41Yes. I will arrange it right away.
00:02:43Sounds good.
00:02:46Thank you.
00:02:47Thank you.
00:03:16Are you going to open that?
00:03:18Oh, yeah. Soon.
00:03:23First time in Turkey?
00:03:25Yeah. You?
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:30So, what have you seen so far?
00:03:34My hotel room, a couple restaurants in Istanbul,
00:03:37and a lovely conference center.
00:03:40Well, that's, uh...
00:03:41Pretty bland.
00:03:43Yeah, I know.
00:03:45I'm here for work.
00:03:47This little excursion's just my be a tourist thing.
00:03:50Oh, well, good for you.
00:03:54Where are you from?
00:03:55Nashville.
00:03:56That's great. I'm in Atlanta.
00:03:59Ah, neighbors, then.
00:04:01I suppose so.
00:04:02My parent, um, my dad lives there.
00:04:06It's a nice place.
00:04:09Is this it?
00:04:11I think so.
00:04:18Welcome to Ephesus.
00:04:20As you get off, please watch your step.
00:04:22I will give you your tickets as you get off the bus.
00:04:26Explore as much as you want,
00:04:28but please, please, please,
00:04:31don't forget your passport.
00:04:34Explore as much as you want,
00:04:36but please, please, be back on the bus by 5.30.
00:04:40That is when the park closes.
00:04:42Thank you.
00:04:45I'm sorry.
00:04:46Have fun.
00:04:47Thanks. You too.
00:04:52Thank you.
00:05:04Thank you.
00:05:34Thank you.
00:05:51Here, want a photo?
00:05:53Uh, yeah, thanks.
00:05:56Beautiful.
00:05:59Uh, the view, it's nice.
00:06:02Uh, can I return the favor?
00:06:04Uh, sure.
00:06:09Just be sure to catch my good side.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:15Thanks.
00:06:18I'm Jeb.
00:06:19I'm Jeb.
00:06:20I'm Jeb.
00:06:21I'm Jeb.
00:06:22I'm Jeb.
00:06:23I'm Jeb.
00:06:24I'm Jeb.
00:06:25Uh, Hope.
00:06:26Nice to meet you again.
00:06:27You too.
00:06:30Should we see if they have any books to check out?
00:06:34You know, cause it's the library of Ephesus.
00:06:37No, yeah, I got that.
00:06:39It's that bad?
00:06:40Yeah.
00:06:42I'm gonna go just do a decimal some books.
00:06:45Yeah, good luck with that.
00:06:54Thanks.
00:06:59Did you know the library was destroyed, but they actually put the front here back together?
00:07:03Huh.
00:07:04No, I didn't.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:06Fascinating stuff.
00:07:08You a history fan?
00:07:09Not really.
00:07:10I just have this thing here and feel obligated to use it.
00:07:13Oh.
00:07:14Well, you could just go with a guide, like a person, instead of a headset.
00:07:18No, no, no.
00:07:19You see, with a guide, you're forced to listen to what he thinks is interesting.
00:07:22With this, it's got a skip button.
00:07:25Or you could just stop listening.
00:07:27You wanna borrow it?
00:07:29No, I'm good.
00:07:31But you enjoy.
00:07:32I'll fill you in on any tidbits you need to know about.
00:07:36Okay.
00:07:52Okay.
00:08:23Hello?
00:08:30Hey, what's up, Mark?
00:08:33What?
00:08:35Are you sure?
00:08:36Could it be for something else?
00:08:41Okay.
00:08:43Yeah, I'm cutting my trip short.
00:08:45I appreciate the heads up.
00:08:47Yeah, no, no.
00:08:48Sooner the better.
00:08:49I know, I know.
00:08:50Hopefully I can think of a way to stop this.
00:08:52Okay.
00:08:53Thanks.
00:09:05The tour doesn't finish until tomorrow night.
00:09:07I know, I know.
00:09:08But I have to leave early.
00:09:10I have many travelers here.
00:09:12Okay, I'm not asking you to abandon them.
00:09:14I'm just saying, how could I get back to Istanbul quickly?
00:09:17There is an airport 45 minutes away.
00:09:20You could fly.
00:09:21Very quick.
00:09:22Okay.
00:09:23We are not going that way.
00:09:24But there are taxis here.
00:09:26Okay, great.
00:09:27Thanks.
00:09:30Hi, what flights do you have back to Istanbul?
00:09:35Come on.
00:09:37I'm so, so sorry.
00:09:40Hello?
00:09:41Hello, you there?
00:09:45Great.
00:09:46Great.
00:09:47Thanks.
00:09:48I'm sorry.
00:09:51Please, don't be ruined.
00:09:56I'll be right back.
00:09:58Miss!
00:10:00How to do last one?
00:10:07English.
00:10:08Turk.
00:10:16Thank you.
00:10:31Come on, don't be wet.
00:10:34Dread.
00:10:47What is that?
00:10:49Okay.
00:11:17Okay.
00:11:24Please.
00:11:25Please, please, please.
00:11:27Please.
00:11:32Any tips for drying out a phone?
00:11:34I'm really sorry.
00:11:36Uncooked rice?
00:11:37Yeah.
00:11:38Not sure I could conjure that up right this moment.
00:11:40I thought most phones were waterproof these days.
00:11:43Well, not sugary drink-proof, I guess.
00:11:45It was diet.
00:11:46And have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?
00:11:50Yeah.
00:11:52But I'll try again.
00:11:57Nope.
00:11:58Nothing.
00:11:59Look, I'm really sorry.
00:12:00Really.
00:12:01And I have my phone if there's anybody that you want to call.
00:12:03And if it doesn't turn back on, I will give you my information and I am happy to pay for a new one.
00:12:08Okay?
00:12:09Fine.
00:12:11I mean, you don't have to do all that.
00:12:13All right?
00:12:14I just, I'm a little perturbed.
00:12:16Hmm.
00:12:17You hide it well.
00:12:19I'm going to grab my bag and get a taxi.
00:12:21So.
00:12:25My bag.
00:12:27The bus.
00:12:28Where's the bus?
00:12:32I, I told the driver to wait.
00:12:34Yeah?
00:12:35Well, looks like he didn't.
00:12:37He left us.
00:12:38Wait, it was right there, wasn't it?
00:12:40Yeah.
00:12:41Maybe he was mad at the mess he made on the upholstery.
00:12:43Okay, you're not helping.
00:12:45Maybe, maybe we could catch up.
00:12:48How?
00:12:49On foot?
00:12:50No.
00:12:51If it wasn't for your clumsiness, you'd be on that bus.
00:12:54I'd have my bag and I'd be on my way to the airport.
00:12:56It's not like I meant to, okay?
00:12:58Look, my passport's in my bag.
00:13:01Without it, I can't get on a plane.
00:13:03Oh, not my passport.
00:13:04My phone, my wallet.
00:13:06I still have my wallet.
00:13:08Okay, let's, uh, let's get a taxi and we could catch up to the bus.
00:13:12But the park's closed now and it looks like all the taxis are gone now, too.
00:13:16Okay, uh, maybe we could...
00:13:18Excuse me, excuse me.
00:13:20Can you help us?
00:13:21Yes.
00:13:22Our bus just left us and we have to find it.
00:13:24Are there any taxis anywhere?
00:13:28They're all gone.
00:13:30But I'll help you.
00:13:32Okay.
00:13:33They're all gone.
00:13:34But I'll help you.
00:13:37Come.
00:13:38Really?
00:13:39Yeah.
00:13:40Thank you.
00:13:44I can't believe that worked.
00:13:50You call the bus?
00:13:51Uh, no.
00:13:52His phone doesn't work.
00:13:55What company?
00:13:56Company?
00:13:57Tour company?
00:13:58Yes.
00:13:59It was...
00:14:00It was something in Turkish.
00:14:02It's on my phone.
00:14:04There are many tour buses.
00:14:06Where was it going for the night?
00:14:08I don't know.
00:14:09Um, some town nearby.
00:14:11Okay, okay.
00:14:12Town is very close.
00:14:13I can take you there.
00:14:14Oh, thank you so much.
00:14:16What if it's not the right town?
00:14:17I mean, even if it is, finding one bus in it...
00:14:21I mean, it's a needle in a haystack.
00:14:23Excuse me, do you have a phone I could use?
00:14:25I could call my hotel back in Istanbul.
00:14:27I mean, they arranged the tour, right?
00:14:29Maybe they could call the tour company and stop the bus?
00:14:32Okay, yes.
00:14:34Here.
00:14:35Thank you.
00:14:37You need watch?
00:14:38Oh, I...
00:14:39Here.
00:14:40Genuine fake watches.
00:14:41See?
00:14:42Very good.
00:14:43I give you good deal.
00:14:44I have a watch.
00:14:45Thank you.
00:14:46I left my wallet on the bus.
00:14:49Okay.
00:14:50Okay.
00:14:55Hi, it's Jeb Allen.
00:14:56I'm staying there at the hotel.
00:14:58Hello, Mr. Allen.
00:14:59How was the tour?
00:15:00Not so good.
00:15:01I...
00:15:02I got left behind.
00:15:03Excuse me?
00:15:04Yeah, the tour bus driver left me and another passenger,
00:15:08and all of our stuff is on the bus.
00:15:10Do you think you could call the tour bus company
00:15:12and see if they could stop the bus
00:15:14or maybe send someone to come get us?
00:15:16Yes.
00:15:17Can I call you back?
00:15:18My phone actually isn't working.
00:15:20I'm using this nice man's phone right now.
00:15:22Okay, then.
00:15:23Give me 30 minutes and call me back.
00:15:25Okay.
00:15:26Sure.
00:15:27Thank you.
00:15:38You're the best.
00:15:39Thank you so much for the ride.
00:15:40Thank you.
00:15:41Can I please...
00:15:42Oh, no, no.
00:15:43You keep.
00:15:44Oh.
00:15:47Gift.
00:15:48Oh.
00:15:49Wow.
00:15:50Thank you so much.
00:15:52Good luck.
00:15:54Thank you.
00:15:56Bye.
00:16:05Now what?
00:16:07Keep your eyes out for the bus.
00:16:09Maybe we'll get lucky.
00:16:12Nothing.
00:16:13Oh.
00:16:14Come on.
00:16:22City bus.
00:16:23Yeah.
00:16:24Oh.
00:16:27Oh.
00:16:28Oh.
00:16:29Oh.
00:16:30Oh.
00:16:31Oh.
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:33Oh.
00:16:34Oh.
00:16:35Oh.
00:16:36Oh.
00:16:37Oh.
00:16:38Oh.
00:16:39Oh.
00:16:41Oh.
00:16:42Oh.
00:16:43I'm starving.
00:16:44Let's see what they have.
00:16:45Hi.
00:16:46Hi.
00:16:47Um, could I have one of those?
00:16:49You want anything?
00:16:50Sure.
00:16:51I'll have the same thing.
00:16:52Okay.
00:16:53Uh, two of those and two sodas.
00:16:56150 lira.
00:16:58Thanks.
00:16:59I'll pay you back.
00:17:03If we can't find the bus, maybe we could catch it at the hotel?
00:17:06Oh, man.
00:17:07What was the name of the hotel?
00:17:08It started with, like, a H.
00:17:10A T.
00:17:11Okay.
00:17:12Well, forget that.
00:17:13Um, well, it's going to some more historical sites tomorrow.
00:17:18Backup plan.
00:17:19Just meet it there.
00:17:20I mean, if we can make it there in time.
00:17:22It don't work.
00:17:23Um, here, could you try this one?
00:17:29My cards have been giving me trouble all trip.
00:17:32No, sorry.
00:17:35I mean, at least you have cash.
00:17:38Not much.
00:17:47Hotel Istanbul.
00:17:48Hi, yeah, it's Jeb Allen.
00:17:49Mr. Allen, I'm afraid I have bad news.
00:17:52Okay.
00:17:53Uh, what?
00:17:54The tour company is closed.
00:17:56I couldn't reach anyone.
00:17:57But they open up again in the morning.
00:17:59The morning?
00:18:02Great.
00:18:03What am I supposed to do in the meantime?
00:18:04I suggest find a place for the evening.
00:18:06Call me in the morning and I will see what the tour company can do.
00:18:09Okay.
00:18:15Any ideas on where we could stay?
00:18:17Who's going to let us stay somewhere without any money?
00:18:19Maybe we could find an A.T.M.?
00:18:21Cards don't work.
00:18:22Ugh.
00:18:23What about those money exchange places?
00:18:25I mean, they have those everywhere.
00:18:26Which you need money to exchange and we don't.
00:18:29Yeah, but I could call my dad or my assistant back home and have them send us money.
00:18:34That's a great idea.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:40Hi.
00:18:41Uh, we need to transfer some money here.
00:18:43Yes, okay.
00:18:44Hello.
00:18:45Um, we accept many services.
00:18:47Do you have your confirmation number and your passport?
00:18:50Oh, well, I need to call to make the arrangement still,
00:18:53but we don't have a working cell phone with us or passports.
00:18:57No passport?
00:18:58No, we have passports.
00:18:59Just not with us.
00:19:00Good.
00:19:01Go get, you bring it here.
00:19:03No, you see, they got lost.
00:19:05Along with her phone, her wallet.
00:19:07Look, it's a long story, but we're just trying to get to Istanbul,
00:19:11and we don't have enough money, so...
00:19:13I am sorry.
00:19:15Without passport, you cannot get money.
00:19:18Here, I have my driver's license.
00:19:21You said your wallet was lost.
00:19:24No, no, her wallet's lost.
00:19:26My wallet is right here.
00:19:28I just don't have enough money.
00:19:30I cannot.
00:19:31You come back tomorrow with passport, transfer information, I can help.
00:19:35But is there only...
00:19:36I'm sorry, we are closed now.
00:19:47I mean, this has the potential to go the same way as the money exchange shop.
00:19:51I had to show a passport just to check into a hotel in Istanbul.
00:19:54Yeah, me too.
00:19:55But I think that whole, like, asking to stay for free thing could be the bigger problem.
00:20:00Then there's that.
00:20:11What are we...
00:20:12Okay, you ask.
00:20:13Why me?
00:20:14Because you got us the right from the watch guy.
00:20:16So that means it's your turn.
00:20:17No, that means you're better at it than me.
00:20:19And, uh, well, we only have one impression to make.
00:20:22So...
00:20:25Hi!
00:20:26Welcome.
00:20:27We have a problem that I was hoping maybe you could help us with.
00:20:31Are there guests here?
00:20:32No, but we would like to be.
00:20:35You see, we were on a tour bus, and it left us, and all of our things are still on the bus,
00:20:40so we don't have a way to pay for the room.
00:20:43No, sorry then.
00:20:44I cannot help.
00:20:46Uh, what about this watch?
00:20:48It's genuine.
00:20:50Kind of.
00:20:51Sorry, no money, no stay.
00:20:54Okay, we'll work.
00:20:55There's got to be something here we could do.
00:20:56Cleaning?
00:20:57Please, we just need a place to stay for tonight.
00:21:05Uh...
00:21:08Is he getting security?
00:21:10I can't say.
00:21:14You sweep here, and mop, okay?
00:21:18Great.
00:21:19Thank you.
00:21:20Thank you.
00:21:21You're welcome.
00:21:26Thank you.
00:21:45Clean the room in the morning.
00:21:46You leave early, before manager comes.
00:21:48Seven o'clock.
00:21:49Okay, thank you.
00:21:50We will.
00:21:51We will.
00:21:52Thank you.
00:21:53Thank you.
00:21:56It's small.
00:21:59Were you expecting a suite?
00:22:01No, I was expecting to catch a flight to Istanbul tonight.
00:22:04Why? Our tour bus takes us back tomorrow morning.
00:22:07I had an emergency come up at work.
00:22:09I mean, you do realize I have a life to get back to, right?
00:22:12So do I.
00:22:13Yeah, well, this whole fiasco could cost me my job.
00:22:19What are you doing?
00:22:20Trying to figure out this credit card mess.
00:22:25Okay.
00:22:44Shower's free.
00:22:45Any luck with your credit cards?
00:22:47Well, they said it's not working because I'm overseas.
00:22:51I thought they were supposed to work worldwide.
00:22:53Yeah, you would think so.
00:22:55Are you sure it's not a problem with the, you know, your balance?
00:23:06No, there's not a problem with the balance.
00:23:11They said that because I didn't call them before I went out of the country,
00:23:15that my charges would be flagged as fraudulent.
00:23:17Even though it's legitimate and you told them that everything is fine?
00:23:21Yeah.
00:23:23That doesn't make any sense.
00:23:24That's what I told them.
00:23:26But apparently, they're working on it and it should be fixed by sometime tomorrow.
00:23:32So what about your other card?
00:23:34Sadly, it's through the same bank, so...
00:23:37Same problem.
00:23:39Yeah, exactly.
00:23:42Alright, I'm gonna get in the shower.
00:23:44Alright, I'm gonna go to sleep.
00:23:47So I guess you can have the bed and I'll take the floor.
00:23:55Okay.
00:24:00Chivalry is dead.
00:24:16Tourists.
00:24:30Oh, no.
00:24:46Hi.
00:25:02Hi, I spoke to someone at the hotel last night.
00:25:04Is he there?
00:25:06Okay, I'm sorry, I don't understand anything you're saying.
00:25:10Look, did he leave any word about a tour company or maybe Ephesus?
00:25:16Yeah, Ephesus.
00:25:18Hello?
00:25:20Hello?
00:25:24She hung up on me.
00:25:26Your hotel?
00:25:27Yeah.
00:25:28Did you find out any more information about the tour company or the name of it?
00:25:31I mean, then we could just call ourselves.
00:25:33No, all I understood was the words sick, no, and Ephesus, which she just repeated over and over again.
00:25:40What about you?
00:25:41What about me?
00:25:42Well, your hotel or how'd you arrange the tour?
00:25:45I mean, I just saw a pamphlet and called.
00:25:47I don't actually have a hotel back in Istanbul I checked out for this tour.
00:25:51Hello?
00:25:52You must leave now.
00:25:53The manager will be here soon.
00:26:01So what do we do now?
00:26:02I don't know.
00:26:04We should probably try to get to the U.S. Embassy.
00:26:07I mean, our things may be long gone, at least they can get us what we need to get home.
00:26:11Do you have any educated guesses on where the closest embassy might be?
00:26:17Istanbul?
00:26:18Yeah, exactly.
00:26:19Okay, we will make our way there then.
00:26:23I hope the tour company has our stuff and then if not, we'll go to the embassy.
00:26:28So glad you pointed that out.
00:26:29Will you stop it?
00:26:30What?
00:26:31Stop acting like it's all my fault.
00:26:33I hate to point out the obvious, but...
00:26:35Okay, then stop acting like I'm some ditzy, clumsy fool.
00:26:40It was an accident.
00:26:41And I didn't force you to get off the bus.
00:26:43And I didn't tell the bus driver to leave you.
00:26:45And ever since then, all I have tried to do is whatever it takes to just get us back to our lives.
00:27:00Let's stop here. I'm thirsty.
00:27:01Well, I really think that we should save the money that you have.
00:27:04Not at the risk of getting dehydrated. Plus, I need to save my cards work.
00:27:07Okay, well, I'm doing the math in my head and we're not going to have enough money if your cards don't work.
00:27:11Cross your fingers.
00:27:18Hi, four waters, please.
00:27:24No.
00:27:26Worth a shot?
00:27:28Alright, just two.
00:27:32I have a little left. Enough until my cards get fixed.
00:27:38Thank you.
00:27:42Thank you.
00:27:49Can I get one of those?
00:27:51Yeah. Here.
00:27:55Excuse me.
00:27:59What?
00:28:00I think that guy just took my wallet.
00:28:01What?
00:28:02That guy just took my wallet!
00:28:03What?
00:28:04Hey!
00:28:08Wait. Did you see where he went?
00:28:10I don't know.
00:28:13Great. This trip just keeps getting better.
00:28:16Okay, well, the joke's on him. You didn't have any, almost any cash in your wallet and, I mean, your cards don't work, so...
00:28:21Yeah. Until later today when we could really use them.
00:28:26Hey, Jeff. It'll be okay.
00:28:30Somehow.
00:28:38Oh, look how cute this place is.
00:28:40Yeah. Adorable. Too bad we can't afford it.
00:28:44Hello.
00:28:46Hi.
00:28:47Hungry?
00:28:48I mean, yes, but we don't have any money.
00:28:50Come.
00:28:59Eat.
00:29:01Eat?
00:29:02Sit.
00:29:03Thank you.
00:29:07Eat.
00:29:19Not quite what you expected, I bet.
00:29:21Yeah, but he was really kind of her and, well, I would love to have standards.
00:29:28You're hungry.
00:29:29Don't judge me.
00:29:38It's not gross. It's food. It's, uh, it's caloric intake.
00:29:45Necessary.
00:29:46It's necessary.
00:29:47Necessary.
00:29:49No. You know what? I can't do it.
00:29:51Okay. It's not gonna hurt you.
00:29:53And you don't know that.
00:29:54Uh, the human body is pretty adept at fighting off bacteria.
00:29:58Don't say that word.
00:29:59Trust me. You'll be fine.
00:30:01How do you know that?
00:30:03I'm a vet.
00:30:04Fine. Fine. Don't believe me.
00:30:06I believe what you say about animals.
00:30:08Well, I'm pretty sure that I still have a degree with the word doctor in it.
00:30:15Okay. Okay.
00:30:16Listen, you're gonna feel better once your stomach is full enough and that hangry feeling goes away.
00:30:35Not bad.
00:30:39Thanks.
00:30:42And Hope, I'm sorry for not making this any easier.
00:30:49I know you didn't mean for this to happen.
00:30:54Apology accepted.
00:30:56Thanks.
00:30:58So, how's it going?
00:31:02So, Istanbul.
00:31:06Do you think we can hitch rides to get there?
00:31:08Maybe. Um, I mean, I'm not the backpacker type, but we have gotten this far.
00:31:14So, why are you here anyway? I mean, in this country?
00:31:20I, um, I was a guest speaker at a conference.
00:31:23What topic?
00:31:24It's kinda technical.
00:31:27Okay, um, basically data mining while navigating privacy concerns within cloud technologies.
00:31:36Sounds riveting.
00:31:38Yeah.
00:31:39Did it not go well, or?
00:31:41No, it was fine.
00:31:43Oh, sorry, you just said that your job was at risk, so I thought that...
00:31:46Oh, no, it's, uh, it's complicated.
00:31:50Fresh.
00:31:51Oh, sorry, we can't pay.
00:31:53It's fine.
00:31:54It's fine.
00:31:55Oh, thank you.
00:32:00Kind of restores your faith in humanity, huh?
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:08Any luck?
00:32:10No, still won't turn on.
00:32:14How serious were you about hitchhiking?
00:32:17Is that me?
00:32:19I'm gonna go ask this guy.
00:32:20Yeah, but what if he's...
00:32:22A criminal?
00:32:23Well, I was gonna say, what if he's not going to Istanbul?
00:32:27One way to find out.
00:32:33Excuse me, hi.
00:32:34Um, we need to get to Istanbul.
00:32:36Uh, we need a ride.
00:32:37Could you, uh, drive us to Istanbul?
00:32:39No English.
00:32:40Okay, um, uh, Istanbul?
00:32:43Uh, you go to Istanbul, right?
00:32:51What is it?
00:32:52A translation app.
00:32:54Clever.
00:32:56Did you tell him?
00:32:57Yeah, see me typing?
00:32:59Just making sure.
00:33:06I have some more deliveries to make,
00:33:08but then I'm going a hundred kilometers in that direction.
00:33:11I'm not going to Istanbul, but I could take you to that point.
00:33:14Yes, thank you.
00:33:15Yes, please, yeah?
00:33:16Okay.
00:33:23Thank you.
00:33:24Oh, uh, wait.
00:33:25Um...
00:33:30What are you doing?
00:33:31I'm asking where we are.
00:33:36Okay, okay.
00:33:40Harita, burası.
00:33:41Oh, okay.
00:33:42Thank you.
00:33:43Al, senin de kalsın.
00:33:44Oh, I can keep it?
00:33:45Oh.
00:33:46Oh, thank you.
00:33:47You're welcome.
00:33:48Thank you.
00:33:49You're welcome.
00:33:50Oh, I can keep it?
00:33:51Oh.
00:33:52Oh, thank you.
00:33:53Have a good day.
00:33:55Okay.
00:33:56Um...
00:33:57So, where are we?
00:34:00We are here.
00:34:01So I think north is, uh...
00:34:06I think we have to go that way.
00:34:13Wait.
00:34:14Hold on.
00:34:16What?
00:34:17I think that this is, uh...
00:34:20What?
00:34:21I think it's one of the places that we were supposed to stop on the tour.
00:34:25It is.
00:34:26Come on, let's go.
00:34:27Could the bus be here?
00:34:33Any sign of the tour group?
00:34:35All the buses out front were gone, and it took us all day to get here.
00:34:39Unfortunately, they're probably all long gone by now.
00:34:44Well, we should probably get going, too, then.
00:34:46Hey, can I take a few minutes here, please?
00:34:50Sure.
00:34:51What is this place, anyways?
00:34:53Uh, it's an ancient military fort.
00:34:55Okay, that's pretty cool.
00:34:57Yeah.
00:34:58I just wish I had my camera.
00:35:20Okay.
00:35:51So, what's with the envelope?
00:35:56They're letters.
00:35:58They're all letters.
00:36:00From my mom.
00:36:02She came here when she was younger, and...
00:36:05she loved it.
00:36:08Why was she here?
00:36:11To explore.
00:36:13To be on her own, I think.
00:36:15That's when she...
00:36:17talks about...
00:36:19how strong the walls are.
00:36:21And the idea that...
00:36:23the fort protected people for centuries.
00:36:27And it made her feel safe.
00:36:30I think she was...
00:36:31nervous.
00:36:32About traveling on her own.
00:36:35This place.
00:36:38How did she put it?
00:36:41I don't know.
00:36:42How did she put it?
00:36:46She...
00:36:47She felt like she...
00:36:49got strength from here that she took with her.
00:36:53Hmm.
00:36:54That's pretty neat.
00:36:56Did she write all the letters when she was here?
00:37:00Uh, no.
00:37:01She wrote them a few months ago before she passed away.
00:37:07I'm so sorry.
00:37:10It's okay.
00:37:12My, uh, dad gave them to me.
00:37:14With instructions from her not to open them until I got to the place with the name on the front of them.
00:37:21Things weren't very settled until recently with my dad, so...
00:37:25this was the earliest I felt like I could come.
00:37:28So...
00:37:29if she came here, does that mean the other letters are from other spots on the tour?
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:35Most of them.
00:37:37That's why I chose the tour.
00:37:40Wow.
00:37:42Well...
00:37:44it's an amazing gift she left you.
00:37:47Yeah.
00:37:49Yeah, it is.
00:37:54Thanks for stopping back there.
00:37:57It was cool.
00:37:58I'm glad we did.
00:38:00I mean, we might as well enjoy something on this trip, right?
00:38:04Yeah.
00:38:07Think maybe we just keep on this way, try to get to the next town?
00:38:11Okay.
00:38:12I'll keep an eye out for a ride.
00:38:20Cold?
00:38:21Aren't you?
00:38:22Not really.
00:38:24My feet are killing me.
00:38:26That's all I can think about.
00:38:27All of these hills and roads that we passed in still no town?
00:38:31Can't turn back.
00:38:32I know, but...
00:38:35Oh!
00:38:36A car!
00:38:37Wait!
00:38:38Hey!
00:38:40Hey!
00:38:41Over here!
00:38:43Is he...
00:38:44drunk?
00:38:53Are you okay?
00:38:55Yeah.
00:38:57Um...
00:39:00Thank you.
00:39:10I, uh...
00:39:12I think maybe we should stop and find a place, you know...
00:39:16off the road for tonight.
00:39:18Yeah.
00:39:20Good idea.
00:39:33What is this place?
00:39:35No idea.
00:39:37Did you see a sign?
00:39:39No.
00:39:42Oh, look at this.
00:39:44Try the door.
00:39:45Um...
00:39:48It's locked.
00:40:02Okay.
00:40:07Not a bad place to stop.
00:40:10All right.
00:40:11Let's try over there.
00:40:12Yeah.
00:40:20I miss my hotel.
00:40:22I know what you mean.
00:40:24At least it's peaceful out here.
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:30Did you tell what that was?
00:40:32Yeah.
00:40:34An animal.
00:40:36Wow.
00:40:37That's...
00:40:38That's great.
00:40:39It's...
00:40:40It's really helped.
00:40:44Do you have any pets?
00:40:46Fish.
00:40:48That's it?
00:40:49I love my patients.
00:40:51But when I come home, I need a break.
00:40:53Kind of like how a pizza maker,
00:40:56when he comes home,
00:40:57purposely doesn't eat pizza.
00:40:59And that's your analogy?
00:41:00Yeah!
00:41:01It works.
00:41:03If you say so.
00:41:06So...
00:41:08Do you have any pets?
00:41:10No.
00:41:11I had a dog growing up.
00:41:13It was Chow.
00:41:15It was just this big, massive ball of fur and energy.
00:41:18What was his name?
00:41:20Chow.
00:41:24My sister named him.
00:41:25Sure.
00:41:27So where else in the country did your mom visit?
00:41:30You know, that she wrote you about?
00:41:32Troy.
00:41:35She loved Greek mythology.
00:41:38I actually already went there,
00:41:39before the Ephesus tour.
00:41:41Like the...
00:41:43Sultan Ahmed.
00:41:45In Istanbul, where you can see the Hagia Sophia,
00:41:48and the Blue Mosque.
00:41:50There's a sister.
00:41:52Yeah.
00:41:53The Blue Mosque.
00:41:55There's a sister in there too, but...
00:41:58I saved that one for last.
00:42:00That's nice.
00:42:02She talked about a lot of places in our letters.
00:42:05Some...
00:42:07even more amazing, but...
00:42:09not all of them got letters.
00:42:11Did she ever tell you about them?
00:42:13Like, when you were growing up?
00:42:16No.
00:42:18Not really.
00:42:20We, uh...
00:42:21Yeah.
00:42:23We argued a lot.
00:42:25To say that we...
00:42:27didn't get along is an understatement.
00:42:30Was that when you were a kid?
00:42:32No.
00:42:34My whole life.
00:42:36I mean, we were...
00:42:38cordial during the holidays, but...
00:42:40we could've tried more.
00:42:42We should've tried more.
00:42:45I'm sure it wasn't just you, though.
00:42:48Yeah.
00:42:50I mean, it takes two, right?
00:42:54What'd she say about Troy?
00:42:56Um...
00:42:58She...
00:43:00liked to imagine Helen and...
00:43:03Paris...
00:43:05and all of the...
00:43:07commotion that their relationship stirred up...
00:43:10in the battle with Menelaus.
00:43:13Menelaus?
00:43:15Laius?
00:43:18She wondered about the Trojan horse.
00:43:21Who wouldn't?
00:43:23I don't know, surprisingly...
00:43:26she was...
00:43:28romantic about it.
00:43:30What's surprising about that?
00:43:32I mean, wasn't the whole thing some, like,
00:43:35big romantic affair?
00:43:37Yeah.
00:43:39But she was just so no-nonsense.
00:43:42And the side of her was just...
00:43:46fanciful?
00:43:49I mean, if that's the right word.
00:43:53Maybe she had more heart than she let on.
00:43:56Hmm.
00:43:58Maybe.
00:44:04Still cold?
00:44:06I'll be fine.
00:44:10You'll be cold.
00:44:12I still have long sleeves.
00:44:16Okay.
00:44:21Thank you.
00:44:24You're welcome.
00:44:28Good night, Jack.
00:44:31Good night, Hope.
00:44:45Good night.
00:45:05So, just thinking ahead for tonight.
00:45:08We have got to find a way
00:45:10to clean ourselves up so we can sleep so we're more...
00:45:13civilized.
00:45:15No argument there.
00:45:17But that does take money, so...
00:45:19Well, keep your eyes open for a way
00:45:22we can make some quick cash then.
00:45:26You alright?
00:45:28Yeah, just checking.
00:45:30Smart.
00:45:32I keep thinking I should try to find a way to call work,
00:45:35but I don't know that it'd make a difference.
00:45:38Why not?
00:45:40Well, I'm supposed to be in the office tomorrow,
00:45:42and I could think of a few people
00:45:43that will know I'm not there.
00:45:45Not in a good way.
00:45:47Well, so they wouldn't understand all of this?
00:45:50More like they'd use it to get what they want.
00:45:53Which is what?
00:45:55To see me fired.
00:45:57Really?
00:45:59Yeah.
00:46:01I found out my boss sent me here to Turkey
00:46:03to just get me out of the way.
00:46:05I've been working on something,
00:46:07and it's getting a lot of attention.
00:46:09Like, really, really good attention.
00:46:10And it turns out
00:46:12he wants it for himself.
00:46:14No.
00:46:16Yeah. When we were in Ephesus,
00:46:18I got a call from my buddy Mark.
00:46:20He's a co-worker, and he actually let me know
00:46:22that they were interviewing for my position
00:46:24right behind my back.
00:46:26Wait, so that's why you have to get back?
00:46:28Yeah.
00:46:31I don't know if it'll make a difference,
00:46:33but I figured I should try, right?
00:46:35You have to at least stand up for yourself.
00:46:38Yeah.
00:46:40What's the plan?
00:46:44Look.
00:46:46What is that?
00:46:48A Turkish bathhouse.
00:46:50Isn't that just, like, a spa?
00:46:52Uh, no, it's really more of like a cultural thing.
00:46:54Although it's probably spa-like
00:46:56and more of the ritzier resorts.
00:46:58Definitely not my thing.
00:47:00Ooh, well,
00:47:02that would definitely solve one of our problems.
00:47:04Hello!
00:47:06Come, please.
00:47:08Come.
00:47:12Have you a Turkish bath?
00:47:14Oh, uh, no.
00:47:16We would like to, but I don't think we can.
00:47:19You can't come to Turkey
00:47:21and not have a true Turkish bath.
00:47:23Oh, we don't have any money.
00:47:25Oh.
00:47:27What happened to your arm?
00:47:29It's a flaw. I slipped.
00:47:31I mean, do you run this place by yourself?
00:47:34Because that would be really difficult.
00:47:35Yes, some days, yes.
00:47:37Maybe we can help you.
00:47:40Help?
00:47:42Yeah, maybe we could do cleaning
00:47:44or help with whatever else you need.
00:47:46You?
00:47:48Yeah, and then in exchange
00:47:50we could use the facilities and...
00:47:52600 lira?
00:47:54500 lira.
00:47:56Deal.
00:48:00You go there.
00:48:02Stay, please.
00:48:03This is for you.
00:48:05But first clean,
00:48:07then you can bath.
00:48:09Okay, I will.
00:48:12You go there.
00:48:33Okay.
00:49:03Hold on.
00:49:23Hold on.
00:49:33Hold on.
00:49:43What happened?
00:49:47What?
00:49:59This is the best.
00:50:04I'm all done with these.
00:50:06Where do you want me to put them?
00:50:08Over there.
00:50:10Is this a lost and found?
00:50:13Mm-hmm.
00:50:19Hey, how'd it go?
00:50:21Um, disturbing.
00:50:24Well, we got paid.
00:50:27And I got a tip
00:50:29for scrubbing some guy's back.
00:50:33Really? That's, uh...
00:50:35I don't want to talk about it.
00:50:37Well, maybe
00:50:39this will make you feel better.
00:50:41Where'd you get that?
00:50:43Lost and found.
00:50:48Okay, so
00:50:50obviously you've been through
00:50:52an experience, but
00:50:54we've got money now,
00:50:56so maybe we can find a place to stay tonight.
00:50:58Sounds good. Uh, where?
00:51:00Um, maybe, um...
00:51:01Oh.
00:51:03Maybe a bed and breakfast?
00:51:05Okay, but
00:51:07no bartering, okay?
00:51:09I don't want to clean anything
00:51:11or anyone
00:51:13ever again.
00:51:14Don't worry.
00:51:15You don't have to.
00:51:22Ta-da!
00:51:24So you're telling me
00:51:26you got this room for 500 lira?
00:51:28450. I bargained.
00:51:29You what?
00:51:30I bargained, not bartered.
00:51:32And
00:51:34because of the extra 100
00:51:36from your tip,
00:51:38we can go out for a nice, simple dinner.
00:51:40Very simple.
00:51:42Other good news?
00:51:43Breakfast is included.
00:51:44You're kidding.
00:51:45You're welcome.
00:51:48Okay, so
00:51:50we've actually made pretty good progress
00:51:52considering the fact that we could've just
00:51:54driven a whole lot faster.
00:51:56With our imaginary cab or rental car?
00:51:57Yes.
00:51:58Uh, but worse comes to worse,
00:52:00it looks like we could walk this in
00:52:01a day or two.
00:52:02Ugh, let's hope it doesn't come to that.
00:52:04If we get the right ride,
00:52:05we can be in Istanbul tomorrow morning.
00:52:07Really?
00:52:08Yeah, but if not,
00:52:10we need to make it to that point there
00:52:12and that'd be good progress.
00:52:14You know,
00:52:15this is pretty close
00:52:17to one of the original stops on the tour
00:52:18if I'm reading this right.
00:52:19Which one?
00:52:21The bazaar.
00:52:22Grand Bazaar?
00:52:24I'm pretty sure that's in Istanbul.
00:52:25No.
00:52:26There are bazaars everywhere.
00:52:28This is one of those
00:52:29enticing,
00:52:30spend all your money kind of stops
00:52:32that they have on every tour.
00:52:34But...
00:52:35It's one that your mom wrote about?
00:52:37Yeah, but I mean, it's okay.
00:52:39I can just go on my own.
00:52:41You don't have to...
00:52:42Oh, no, no, no.
00:52:43It's fine.
00:52:44Um, we should probably stick together.
00:52:46But, uh, first,
00:52:48food, please.
00:52:56I say
00:52:58we use all the money we have left.
00:53:00That won't be hard,
00:53:01but what happened to saving it?
00:53:03Oh, I don't know.
00:53:04I figured that you probably
00:53:05wouldn't want to work for another meal
00:53:07and not to be overly confident,
00:53:09but things have gone pretty good so far.
00:53:11I mean,
00:53:12could be worse.
00:53:14No.
00:53:15Don't jinx it.
00:53:23Alright, I gotta ask.
00:53:25How did you become
00:53:26such a good bargainer?
00:53:28Or...
00:53:29Is that the word?
00:53:30Mmm...
00:53:31Negotiator?
00:53:32Sure.
00:53:33You know what I mean.
00:53:35I...
00:53:36I got it from my mom.
00:53:38She used to take us to thrift stores
00:53:39as kids, you know,
00:53:40to get school stuff or whatever,
00:53:41and she would
00:53:43bargain
00:53:44with the thrift store employees.
00:53:46I would get
00:53:47so embarrassed.
00:53:48I mean, I get it
00:53:49if something's overpriced
00:53:50or
00:53:51if it's in bad condition,
00:53:52but then
00:53:53trying to get
00:53:54off of a used skirt?
00:53:56I mean, I, for one,
00:53:57would love
00:53:58to see you embarrassed.
00:53:59I bet you would.
00:54:01I dreaded going.
00:54:03And the thing is, like,
00:54:05everything was fair game with her.
00:54:06If you hated it so much,
00:54:07what changed?
00:54:08Because now you are
00:54:09really good at it.
00:54:10I don't know.
00:54:12Maybe it's
00:54:14just the choice of
00:54:15haggling
00:54:16or going without here.
00:54:17Maybe I'm
00:54:19more confident
00:54:20than I thought I was.
00:54:22Maybe I'm
00:54:23channeling my mom on this trip.
00:54:26So,
00:54:27you don't do this back home?
00:54:29There's not really a need to.
00:54:30Unless I'm buying a car.
00:54:32Dealerships
00:54:33fear me.
00:54:35Oh, I believe it.
00:54:37So,
00:54:38what's your secret?
00:54:39Please,
00:54:40teach me your ways.
00:54:41Oh,
00:54:42okay.
00:54:44There are three steps
00:54:45to a good negotiation.
00:54:47First,
00:54:49smile.
00:54:50A smile.
00:54:54A smile.
00:54:55Trust me,
00:54:56it means that you
00:54:57mean business,
00:54:58but you're gonna be, like,
00:54:59cool about it.
00:55:00Got it.
00:55:03Two,
00:55:06eye contact.
00:55:12A little intense,
00:55:14but okay.
00:55:16And the third.
00:55:17The third,
00:55:18a handshake.
00:55:19Here.
00:55:20It has to be
00:55:21firm,
00:55:22but not too firm.
00:55:23Confident,
00:55:24but not
00:55:25intimidating.
00:55:26Just,
00:55:27like,
00:55:29sealing the deal
00:55:31with a
00:55:33mutual respect.
00:55:43That's a good handshake.
00:55:50I think
00:55:51I'm
00:55:52turned around here.
00:55:55Actually,
00:55:57I think we found it.
00:55:59I hope you brought your letter.
00:56:00Of course.
00:56:02I just wish I had my wallet.
00:56:11There's just so much to see.
00:56:16Wow.
00:56:18Wow.
00:56:31No?
00:56:32No, we're good, we're good.
00:56:42Dear Hope,
00:56:44It's been so many years.
00:56:45I hope the bazaar is still there.
00:56:47I'm wondering if
00:56:48everything I've written
00:56:49still makes sense,
00:56:50or if the places I went to
00:56:51changed too much
00:56:52to recognize
00:56:53by my descriptions.
00:56:54But assuming it's
00:56:55mostly the same,
00:56:56learn from my mistakes.
00:56:58First,
00:56:59watch out for someone
00:57:00taking advantage of the fact
00:57:01you're a foreigner.
00:57:02I didn't understand
00:57:03the money fully yet,
00:57:04and paid triple for a scarf.
00:57:06I ended up giving
00:57:07that scarf away
00:57:08a couple of years later
00:57:09because it bothered me so much.
00:57:11Second,
00:57:12try something new.
00:57:13This was the place
00:57:14I discovered
00:57:15Turkish Delight.
00:57:16Not the boxed stuff
00:57:17we can get at home
00:57:18covered in powdered sugar,
00:57:19but real,
00:57:20fresh-made Turkish delight.
00:57:22I'm sure the shops changed,
00:57:23but I remember
00:57:24buying some there
00:57:25that became my favorite.
00:57:27Try it.
00:57:33Hey.
00:57:34Good letter?
00:57:35Yeah.
00:57:36Um,
00:57:37did you see any
00:57:38Turkish Delight shops?
00:57:39Uh, yeah,
00:57:40actually, down there.
00:57:41Uh, but we don't
00:57:42have any money.
00:57:43I know.
00:57:44I just want to see it.
00:57:46Okay.
00:57:54I'm salivating.
00:57:56We just ate.
00:57:57Come on.
00:57:59You can't pretend
00:58:00that these don't look delicious.
00:58:02Which one?
00:58:03Mmm...
00:58:04I feel like I'm gonna get
00:58:05a cavity just staring.
00:58:06That one.
00:58:11Little outside
00:58:12our price range.
00:58:14Well,
00:58:15I don't know why
00:58:16my mom wrote about them.
00:58:17Just looking at them
00:58:18is memorable.
00:58:26Hey.
00:58:27Yeah?
00:58:28I just remembered something
00:58:29that I wanted to check out.
00:58:30Um,
00:58:31I'm gonna head back.
00:58:32Oh, okay.
00:58:33No, no, no.
00:58:34Um,
00:58:35you must be tired,
00:58:36and the hotel's right there.
00:58:37It's okay.
00:58:38I don't mind.
00:58:39I'll be quick.
00:58:40I promise.
00:58:41Okay.
00:58:42All right.
00:58:43Be safe.
00:58:45Bye.
00:59:06Hey.
00:59:08I think these are mostly dry.
00:59:10Thought it'd be nice
00:59:11to have some clean clothes
00:59:12for a change.
00:59:13Thank you.
00:59:14I think
00:59:15I'd like to burn these, so...
00:59:18What's that?
00:59:20Eh,
00:59:21just a little treat.
00:59:23Here.
00:59:31Um,
00:59:32okay.
00:59:38What?
00:59:42How?
00:59:44I...
00:59:45actually barter.
00:59:50I, um...
00:59:52I just thought you shouldn't miss out
00:59:53on anything your mom
00:59:54wanted you to experience.
01:00:00Thank you.
01:00:03You're welcome.
01:00:06You're gonna try some, right?
01:00:07After you try it first.
01:00:11And I still don't quite know
01:00:12what they are, so...
01:00:15Okay.
01:00:21Yeah?
01:00:23That good?
01:00:26All right.
01:00:36Wow.
01:00:37That is not what I expected.
01:00:45Huh?
01:00:46That's a look.
01:00:47Yeah.
01:00:48Thank you, lost and found.
01:00:49You're not looking
01:00:50too shabby yourself.
01:00:55Don't you want the bed?
01:00:58No.
01:00:59You take it this time.
01:01:00You sure?
01:01:02Yeah.
01:01:03Thanks.
01:01:12So,
01:01:13what's gonna happen
01:01:14if you go back
01:01:15and your job's not there?
01:01:16I'm not sure.
01:01:18Part of me's so angry
01:01:19about what's going on,
01:01:20I could put up a fight,
01:01:23make a big deal out of it,
01:01:24but...
01:01:26But what?
01:01:28I'm afraid
01:01:29I don't stand a chance.
01:01:31I mean,
01:01:32little me versus the big boss.
01:01:35Besides, I'm away
01:01:36and can't do anything about it.
01:01:39He's trying to fire me.
01:01:40By the time I get back,
01:01:41am I just making it worse for myself?
01:01:44I mean,
01:01:46maybe if you go quietly,
01:01:47he'll owe you.
01:01:49Not that that's great either.
01:01:51I worked really hard there.
01:01:54I mean, if you go back,
01:01:55maybe he'll just stop
01:01:56what he's doing.
01:01:58I hope so.
01:01:59But even if he does,
01:02:02I already know what he's done.
01:02:04Do I really want to stay
01:02:05and work for someone like that?
01:02:07You're just making me really glad
01:02:08that I'm self-employed.
01:02:13All right.
01:02:14Question for you now.
01:02:16Mmm.
01:02:18If you could write back to your mom
01:02:20about your experience in Turkey,
01:02:23what would you say?
01:02:26I would...
01:02:27I would tell her
01:02:28I've gotten really good at cleaning.
01:02:31I would tell her
01:02:32I've gotten really good at cleaning.
01:02:35I would tell her
01:02:36I've gotten really good at cleaning.
01:02:39She used to critique my chores
01:02:41when I was a teen.
01:02:43She'd be impressed now.
01:02:44Mmm.
01:02:46And I would have to brag
01:02:47about my bargaining skills.
01:02:50Absolutely.
01:02:54Oh, and I would tell her
01:02:55that I have learned how to hitchhike.
01:02:59And...
01:03:02And I'm glad I'm not alone.
01:03:07Well, this trip is...
01:03:09not turned out like anything
01:03:12I thought it would.
01:03:14It, uh...
01:03:16It's still been a great adventure.
01:03:19Yeah.
01:03:21It has.
01:03:27Sorry, no.
01:03:28Okay.
01:03:29Thank you.
01:03:32Nope.
01:03:33Not going our way.
01:03:35It's okay.
01:03:37I've gotten really good at walking.
01:03:40Found a good one.
01:03:41Yeah? You gonna try it?
01:03:42Mm-hmm.
01:03:43Mmm.
01:03:44Yeah?
01:03:45Yeah, it's pretty good.
01:03:46You're bold.
01:03:47Aren't you supposed to wash those first?
01:03:48I think they'll be all right.
01:03:51Good luck.
01:03:52No, I'm kidding.
01:03:54I'm...
01:03:55way too hungry to care.
01:03:56Mm-hmm.
01:04:04Okay.
01:04:35Oh!
01:04:38It's a small one.
01:04:40No.
01:04:41Oh!
01:04:45Thank you.
01:04:46Thank you.
01:04:47Thank you.
01:04:48Thank you so much.
01:04:49Thank you.
01:04:55Mm.
01:04:56This is good.
01:04:57Yeah.
01:04:58Absolutely one of our better free meals.
01:05:00Excellent work, sir.
01:05:01I've learned from the best.
01:05:02Oh.
01:05:05Hey, so I noticed something on the map earlier.
01:05:08Hmm.
01:05:09We're just a few kilometers away from some thermal springs.
01:05:12Wait, really?
01:05:13Yeah, isn't that one of the spots from your mom's envelope?
01:05:16Uh, yeah, it is.
01:05:19Shall we?
01:05:20Eat fast.
01:05:22Are you gonna eat that?
01:05:33Is that it?
01:05:34I think it's down there.
01:05:36It's supposed to be beautiful.
01:05:37You can get in the water and everything.
01:05:39Come on.
01:05:50How?
01:05:52Nature.
01:05:54I don't understand it.
01:06:03Do you want to hear it?
01:06:06If you want to share, but I know it's private, so...
01:06:08No, no.
01:06:10It's okay.
01:06:24Deer help.
01:06:26I remember being upset when I came to these thermal springs.
01:06:30I had talked to my boyfriend at the time,
01:06:31and it seemed like everything was doomed between us.
01:06:35There I was, in a paradise of sorts.
01:06:38A landscape so unique and lovely.
01:06:42I was just gonna hurry and take a roll of pictures and be on my way.
01:06:46Then I saw it.
01:06:48I can still remember the shade of the water,
01:06:50and the scent of the flowers.
01:06:52Then I saw it.
01:06:54I can still remember the shade of the water,
01:06:56and all the limestone around it.
01:06:59Was it limestone?
01:07:01I think so.
01:07:03I remember soaking in the pools,
01:07:05and looking over all the springs.
01:07:08It gave me perspective.
01:07:11One argument didn't matter.
01:07:14Only how I felt mattered.
01:07:17And I missed him,
01:07:18and I wished that he was there with me.
01:07:21And that's when I knew things would work out with my boyfriend.
01:07:26And it did.
01:07:28Your father and I got married later that year.
01:07:35My favorite spot was in the pools all the way at the bottom.
01:07:39Make sure to take lots of pictures,
01:07:42so your dad can see them.
01:07:46Love, Mom.
01:07:50I love you.
01:08:07Come on, aren't you gonna get in?
01:08:09I already have my feet in.
01:08:11That doesn't count.
01:08:12This is amazing.
01:08:14Come on.
01:08:17No.
01:08:18When do you ever plan to come back here?
01:08:21That's not the point.
01:08:22Point? Come on, get in.
01:08:24You enjoy, but enjoy quickly.
01:08:27Daylight's wasting, and we have another ride to catch.
01:08:31Okay.
01:08:34Help me up.
01:08:36Come on.
01:08:47Really?
01:08:49Isn't it nice?
01:08:50I could have told you that from up there.
01:08:53At least it's warm.
01:08:54That makes it all better.
01:08:56I'm just pointing out the positive.
01:08:59Where are you going?
01:09:00I'm getting out.
01:09:01Now?
01:09:02Now you're getting out?
01:09:05You said we had to go.
01:09:08So, you just wanted to see me get all wet?
01:09:13No.
01:09:18I just...
01:09:21I just wanted to see you happy.
01:09:25I know.
01:09:35I know.
01:09:45Well, I should probably go check on that ride.
01:09:52Okay.
01:09:53Okay.
01:10:04All right, focus.
01:10:09Istanbul?
01:10:10Is anyone going to Istanbul?
01:10:14Anyone going to Istanbul?
01:10:16Istanbul?
01:10:21Worth a shot?
01:10:23Yeah.
01:10:34Hey!
01:10:36Wait, hey, do you remember me?
01:10:38You.
01:10:39Hope.
01:10:40And you.
01:10:41Yeah, hi.
01:10:43I hope you have two seats on this bus.
01:10:45You two are a mystery.
01:10:47Come, of course we have room for you.
01:10:49We spend two hours here, and then we go to famous beach.
01:10:53How long until we get to Istanbul?
01:10:55We have a stop at a hotel tonight, so tomorrow, late morning.
01:10:59I found your passports and things, but did not know where you were.
01:11:03I told my boss, but we never heard from you.
01:11:06Good thing I found you.
01:11:08So where are our things?
01:11:09I was supposed to take them to our Istanbul office, but I forgot.
01:11:13They're here, below.
01:11:20Passport?
01:11:21Check.
01:11:23Clothes?
01:11:24Check.
01:11:25Wallet?
01:11:27Lucky.
01:11:29Phone?
01:11:30Yes.
01:11:31Can I make a call?
01:11:32Go for it.
01:11:33Thank you.
01:11:34Work?
01:11:35Yeah.
01:11:38Hello?
01:11:39Mark.
01:11:40Hey, you there?
01:11:41Jeb?
01:11:42You are alive!
01:11:43You went dark a few days ago, I was worried.
01:11:45Yeah, it's a long story.
01:11:47It's a long story.
01:11:48So what's the update?
01:11:49What's going on?
01:11:50About the same, except I had an idea.
01:11:53Okay, what?
01:11:54It involves whatever proof you can scrounge up of your work,
01:11:57emails Sheila and HR saved from the boss,
01:11:59and a board meeting coming up in two days.
01:12:01Follow?
01:12:02Yeah.
01:12:03Yeah, that could work.
01:12:04Can you get back in time?
01:12:05Yeah.
01:12:06Great.
01:12:07See you soon.
01:12:08Thanks, Mark.
01:12:12So?
01:12:13There's a way to save my job.
01:12:15Okay, uh, I need to get back to Istanbul tonight
01:12:18and on a plane by tomorrow morning.
01:12:20Oh, uh, okay.
01:12:22But, um, the bus.
01:12:25I know, I know.
01:12:26It'll take too long.
01:12:27Come on, let's go.
01:12:28Well...
01:12:29Let's go.
01:12:34Jeb, wait.
01:12:35Come on, let's find a taxi.
01:12:37Jeb, hold on.
01:12:39The bus is gonna take us back tomorrow morning.
01:12:42It'll take too long.
01:12:44Well, I highly doubt you're gonna get a flight out tonight.
01:12:46You don't know that.
01:12:48Well, I just...
01:12:51You don't have to go.
01:12:54I was thinking we would go.
01:12:59Oh.
01:13:01I, uh...
01:13:04I would, but the bus is going to the beach and it's...
01:13:09On your mom's list?
01:13:10Yeah, and I just have the beach and the cistern left, so...
01:13:15Yeah.
01:13:18Makes sense.
01:13:19But it's only gonna be a few hours.
01:13:21I mean, I can't imagine it would make that big of a difference back home.
01:13:24A few more hours could be everything.
01:13:26But you don't know that.
01:13:28I know I can't take the risk.
01:13:31If I have the chance to fight for my career,
01:13:34everything I've worked for,
01:13:36I have to do it.
01:13:40But if we...
01:13:41Hope, listen.
01:13:43I've wasted enough time with all of this.
01:13:46I don't have the luxury of sticking around
01:13:48for a bunch of letters that don't mean anything to me.
01:13:56I'm sorry, that was...
01:13:58Yeah.
01:14:02You should probably...
01:14:05You should probably get going.
01:14:08Listen, you know I didn't mean any of...
01:14:10Then you should call about your wallet being stolen.
01:14:14And, uh...
01:14:15You should take this.
01:14:16Stop, I can't.
01:14:17How else are you gonna get to Istanbul?
01:14:24Thanks.
01:14:29Safe travels, then.
01:14:36You too.
01:14:39Bye.
01:14:43Bye.
01:15:14And our next stop, this beautiful beach,
01:15:17will be our last sight on our tour,
01:15:19so enjoy it.
01:15:21This beach has a rich history
01:15:23and is thought to be where ancient mariners landed
01:15:26ages ago and discovered the beautiful sights
01:15:29of the Turkish countryside.
01:15:43TURKEY
01:16:10Dear Hope,
01:16:12My trip was winding down and all of my worries from life
01:16:14started to creep in.
01:16:16Finishing college, figuring out my future.
01:16:18Of course your father was a bright spot there,
01:16:20but still I worried.
01:16:22I'd spent my trip letting go and enjoying life.
01:16:25Growing up in some ways, of course,
01:16:27but it was coming to an end.
01:16:29Being here on this beach helped me relax.
01:16:32I sat on the rocks and looked out over the water.
01:16:35The sound was soothing.
01:16:37I closed my eyes and let that sound,
01:16:39those waves, wash away my worries.
01:16:41I have to admit I did that a lot afterwards, too.
01:16:44It became my technique I used whenever I was stressed
01:16:47or whenever we argued.
01:16:49No matter your worries, give it a try.
01:16:51Maybe it'll help you like it did me.
01:17:01Mr. Cep, you're back.
01:17:02Yeah, I am.
01:17:04What happened? I thought you were going to help me.
01:17:06I'm very sorry. I was sick.
01:17:08I almost went to hospital.
01:17:10Glad you're feeling better now.
01:17:11Do you need anything sent to your room?
01:17:13I actually got to get on the next flight, so thank you.
01:17:16In the morning?
01:17:17No, no, no. There's got to be something tonight.
01:17:19It's late for such departures, but I will book something for you.
01:17:22No, no, no. I'll take care of it, but thank you.
01:17:25I appreciate it.
01:17:30Uh, it was wild, Gabby.
01:17:36But, um, everything is as it should be, and I'm fine.
01:17:43Well, do you need anything? Are you changing your flight?
01:17:46No, I should be able to keep my schedule as is.
01:17:49I've got one last stop in Istanbul.
01:17:52How's everything there?
01:17:54Mrs. Samuel's cat snagged one of her birds.
01:17:57The bird didn't make it, but the cat looked very happy.
01:18:00Uh, I'll have that one.
01:18:02Yes.
01:18:03And one of them.
01:18:05The best.
01:18:08Thank you.
01:18:09You're welcome.
01:18:22Dear Mom,
01:18:23Someone asked what I'd say if I wrote you back,
01:18:26and it got me thinking.
01:18:28Why not?
01:18:31My experience on this journey has probably not been what you thought it'd be.
01:18:36I made a good friend.
01:18:43And lost him, too.
01:18:46I wonder what you'd say about him.
01:18:50Where to start?
01:18:52Okay, so you have absolutely no flights tonight.
01:18:57Okay, well, uh, I'll do the 1045 tomorrow then.
01:19:05Uh, yeah, yeah, no, I'm here.
01:19:09Okay, uh, perfect. Thank you.
01:19:26Thank you.
01:19:45Good morning.
01:19:46Good morning.
01:19:47Your driver will be here in a few minutes.
01:19:50Perfect. Thank you.
01:19:52I hope there are at least some good memories of Turkey you can take home.
01:20:01Yeah.
01:20:16Change of plans. Could you take me somewhere else?
01:20:22Okay.
01:20:52Okay.
01:20:58Dear Hope,
01:20:59This cistern has some neat history behind it.
01:21:02I remember I spent the day exploring all over Istanbul,
01:21:06but this was the spot that made me stop and think.
01:21:09I was so proud of how I fared on this trip.
01:21:12I felt twice as confident and experienced in life and the world in a way I didn't know I could be.
01:21:17I lived, and that's what I want for you.
01:21:20You are incredibly talented and hardworking,
01:21:23but don't limit yourself with what you know.
01:21:25Follow your heart.
01:21:27Trust your instincts.
01:21:29I wish this was a trip we could have taken together.
01:21:32Maybe away from our normal routine and environment,
01:21:35we could have broken out of our mold and stopped seeing the differences between us.
01:21:39Maybe we'd see each other in a new light.
01:21:42But time's running out.
01:21:44So I guess I'll just make sure you know the truth,
01:21:47something I rarely said after our many squabbles over the years.
01:21:50I love you.
01:21:52And not because you're my daughter and it's expected,
01:21:55but because you are amazing.
01:21:57I love everything about you,
01:21:59even your strength to hold your own when we argued.
01:22:02Never doubt that love.
01:22:09I love you too, Mom.
01:22:17I love you too.
01:22:26Here. You want a photo?
01:22:30What are you doing here?
01:22:32Well, this is one of the places to see an Istanbul, right?
01:22:36Couldn't come all this way and miss it.
01:22:39I just...
01:22:41I thought you would be on a plane by now or back in Atlanta.
01:22:45Eventually, but...
01:22:48I had somewhere more important to be today.
01:22:53Where?
01:22:56With you.
01:23:00But...
01:23:02what about your job?
01:23:04It'll either be there when I get back or not.
01:23:08But...
01:23:10I do have the truth on my side.
01:23:12And maybe it'll be enough.
01:23:15Well, I mean, you deserve everything you've worked for,
01:23:18and I hope that they see that.
01:23:21Me too.
01:23:24I, uh...
01:23:26I realized after you were gone that...
01:23:30I never...
01:23:32told you how grateful I was...
01:23:36to have you by my side.
01:23:38Are you sure it was grateful
01:23:41instead of...
01:23:43annoyed?
01:23:45Eventually.
01:23:48But...
01:23:51you made me feel...
01:23:53safe
01:23:55and at ease, and I...
01:23:59I found myself enjoying every minute of it.
01:24:03Even the crazy ones.
01:24:06So thank you for that.
01:24:08I was glad we were together too.
01:24:11After all, it was the best...
01:24:14worst trip ever.
01:24:18But...
01:24:20I did make a mistake when I left you at the Springs.
01:24:24I mean, you had to get back to Istanbul.
01:24:26Did I?
01:24:28I let everything I was afraid of with my job
01:24:31overshadow what I felt for you.
01:24:35This morning I woke up
01:24:37thinking about that plane ride,
01:24:39fretting the entire way home about my future.
01:24:42But you're here.
01:24:44Because nothing that truly matters is on that plane.
01:24:48Or back home.
01:24:54It's right here.
01:24:59I like your logic.
01:25:01Yeah?
01:25:02And I agree with it.
01:25:04Wholeheartedly.
01:26:35You
01:26:38You
01:26:41You
