00:00:00Music
00:00:14Oh, he was such a good boy. So brave. Just watch for chewing on the bandage.
00:00:20Okay, I've got a cone at home.
00:00:21Oh, great. You can take off the bandage in two days and just call us if you see anything worrisome, okay?
00:00:26Oh, well, thanks, Dr. Ellison.
00:00:27You bet. Bye, buddy.
00:00:30Ah, so I double disinfected exam room four, and I'm making a note on that Great Dane's file to make sure he's taken outside for a bathroom break before the next exam.
00:00:53Thank you so much, Gabby.
00:00:55Yeah, anything else you need before you leave?
00:00:56Just make sure the place doesn't burn down until I get back.
00:00:59Oh, uh, yes. Bruno the Armadillo is coming in tomorrow. Kevin can totally handle it. Just remind him he has a tendency to, you know, walk off the exam table.
00:01:08Got it.
00:01:09Oh, and remind anybody else who is on night duty observing the animals.
00:01:13Will do.
00:01:15Can I bring you back a souvenir?
00:01:18Ooh, yeah. Um, surprise me.
00:01:20I'll do my best.
00:01:21Yeah. And, Hope, just try to enjoy your trip. Thanks.
00:01:27Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:01:38I appreciate it. Thanks for coming.
00:01:45Welcome back, Mr. Allen.
00:01:48Was the conference good?
00:01:50Yeah, it was fine.
00:01:51Thanks.
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 and beaches, Ephesus, Cappadocia. Very nice.
00:02:07Oh, I don't know.
00:02:08I was supposed to have some meetings the next two days, but turns out they got canceled.
00:02:12So I'll probably just change my flight and head home early.
00:02:16Can you see such wonders at home?
00:02:17No. I 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 the city nearby.
00:02:28And you go to Thermos Springs.
00:02:29Nice beaches.
00:02:30Beautiful ancient cities.
00:02:32Very nice.
00:02:34Did I see it?
00:02:35Yeah.
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.
00:02:52Are you going to open that?
00:03:20Oh, yeah. Soon.
00:03:26First time in Turkey?
00:03:28Yeah. You?
00:03:30Yeah.
00:03:32So, what have you seen so far?
00:03:36My hotel room, a couple restaurants in Istanbul, and a lovely conference center.
00:03:42Well, that's...
00:03:44Brady Bland.
00:03:46Yeah, I know.
00:03:48I'm here for work. This little excursion is just my be a tourist thing.
00:03:53Oh, well, good for you.
00:03:56Where are you from?
00:03:58Nashville.
00:03:59That's great. I'm in Atlanta.
00:04:02Ah, neighbors then.
00:04:03I suppose so.
00:04:05My parent, um...
00:04:07My dad lives there.
00:04:08It's a nice place.
00:04:16Is this it?
00:04:17I think so.
00:04:19Welcome to Ephesus.
00:04:27As you get off, please watch your step.
00:04:29I will give you your tickets as you get off the bus.
00:04:33Explore as much as you want.
00:04:35But please, please, be back on the bus by 5.30.
00:04:39That is when the park closes.
00:04:44I'm sorry.
00:04:45Have fun.
00:04:46Thanks.
00:04:47You too.
00:05:22Here, want a photo?
00:05:38Here, want a photo?
00:05:52Uh, yeah, thanks.
00:06:03Beautiful.
00:06:05Uh, the view.
00:06:07It's nice.
00:06:08Uh, can I return the favor?
00:06:10Uh, sure.
00:06:15Just be sure to catch my good side?
00:06:16Yeah.
00:06:21Thanks.
00:06:23I'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?
00:06:33You know, because it's the Library of Ephesus.
00:06:36Mm-hmm.
00:06:37No, yeah, I got that.
00:06:39It's that bad?
00:06:39Yeah.
00:06:41I'm gonna go just do a decimal some books.
00:06:44Yeah.
00:06:45Good luck with that.
00:06:58Did you know the Library was destroyed, but they actually put the front here back together?
00:07:02Huh.
00:07:03No, I didn't.
00:07:04Yeah.
00:07:05Fascinating stuff.
00:07:07You a history fan?
00:07:08Not really.
00:07:09I just have this thing here and feel obligated to use it.
00:07:13Oh.
00:07:13Well, you could just go with a guide, like a person, instead of a headset.
00:07:18No, no, no.
00:07:18You see, with a guide, you're forced to listen to what he thinks is interesting.
00:07:21And with this, it's got a skip button.
00:07:25Or you could just stop listening.
00:07:27You want to borrow it?
00:07:29No.
00:07:29I'm good.
00:07:30But you enjoy.
00:07:32I'll fill you in on any tidbits you need to know about.
00:07:34Okay.
00:07:36Okay.
00:07:36Okay.

00:08:03Okay.
00:08:04Hey, what's up, Mark?
00:08:32Whoa, what?
00:08:35Are you sure?
00:08:36Could it be for something else?
00:08:41Okay, um, yeah, I'm cutting my trip short.
00:08:45I appreciate the heads up.
00:08:47Yeah, no, no, sooner the better.
00:08:48I know, I know.
00:08:49Hopefully I can think of a way to stop this.
00:08:52Okay, thanks.
00:08:53The tour doesn't finish until tomorrow night.
00:09:07I know, I know, but I have to leave early.
00:09:09I 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 very quick.
00:09:23Okay.
00:09:23We are not going that way, but there are taxis here.
00:09:26Okay, great.
00:09:28Thanks.
00:09:30Hi, what flights do you have back to Istanbul?
00:09:32Come on.
00:09:37Oh, I'm so, so sorry.
00:09:40Hello?
00:09:41Hello, you there?
00:09:45Great.
00:09:46Thanks.
00:09:47I'm sorry.
00:09:50Please, please don't be ruined.
00:09:53I'll be right back.
00:09:57Miss, how to do, last one.
00:10:02Disculpe, ¿van a parar en algún lugar para comprar regalos?
00:10:07English, turk.
00:10:09¿Cómo?
00:10:09No, no, no, no, no.
00:10:27Come on, don't be late.
00:10:33Oh, drat.
00:10:48Oh, wait, this is fine.
00:10:50Okay.
00:10:57Please, please, please, please.
00:11:25Any tips for drying out a phone?
00:11:34I'm really sorry.
00:11:36Uncooked rice?
00:11:37Yeah.
00:11:37Not 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.
00:11:51But I'll try again.
00:11:53Nope.
00:11:58Nothing.
00:11:58Look, 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.
00:12:09I mean, you don't have to do all that, all right?
00:12:15I just, I'm a little perturbed.
00:12:18Hmm.
00:12:18You hide it well.
00:12:20I'm going to grab my bag and get a taxi.
00:12:23So.
00:12:23My bag.
00:12:28The bus.
00:12:29Where's the bus?
00:12:33I, I told the driver to wait.
00:12:36Yeah?
00:12:36Well, looks like he did it.
00:12:39He left us.
00:12:40Wait, it was right there, wasn't it?
00:12:42Yeah.
00:12:43Maybe he was mad at the mess he made on the upholstery.
00:12:45Okay, you're not helping.
00:12:47Uh, maybe, uh, maybe we could catch up.
00:12:51How?
00:12:51On foot?
00:12:52No.
00:12:53If it wasn't for your clumsiness, you'd be on that bus.
00:12:56I'd have my bag and I'd be on my way to the airport.
00:12:58It's not like I meant to, okay?
00:13:00Look, my passport's in my bag.
00:13:03Without it, I can't get on a plane.
00:13:05Oh no, my passport.
00:13:06My phone.
00:13:07My wallet.
00:13:09I still have my wallet.
00:13:11Okay, let's, uh, let's get a taxi and we could catch up to the bus.
00:13:15But the park's closed now and it looks like all the taxis are gone now, too.
00:13:20Okay, uh, maybe we could...
00:13:22Excuse me, excuse me.
00:13:24Can you help us?
00:13:25Yes.
00:13:26Our bus just left us and we have to find it.
00:13:28Are there any taxis anywhere?
00:13:32They're all gone.
00:13:34But I help you.
00:13:36Come.
00:13:38Really?
00:13:39Yeah.
00:13:43I can't believe that worked.
00:13:45You called the bus?
00:13:51Uh, no.
00:13:51His phone doesn't work.
00:13:54What company?
00:13:55Company?
00:13:56Tour company?
00:13:57Yes.
00:13:58It was...
00:13:59It 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?
00:14:07I don't know.
00:14:08Um, some town nearby.
00:14:10Okay, okay.
00:14:12Town is very close.
00:14:13I can take you there.
00:14:14Thank you so much.
00:14:15What if it's not the right town?
00:14:17I mean, even if it is, finding one bus in it...
00:14:20I 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?
00:14:28So, maybe they could call the tour company and stop the bus?
00:14:31Okay.
00:14:32Yes.
00:14:34Here.
00:14:36You need watch?
00:14:37Oh, I...
00:14:38Here.
00:14:39Genuine fake watches.
00:14:41See?
00:14:41Very good.
00:14:42I give you a good deal.
00:14:44I have a watch.
00:14:46I left my wallet on the bus.
00:14:49Okay.
00:14:50Okay.
00:14:54Hi, 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 got left behind.
00:15:03Excuse me?
00:15:04Yeah, the tour bus driver left me and another passenger,
00:15:07and 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?
00:15:15Yes.
00:15:16Can I call you back?
00:15:17My 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.
00:15:37You're the best.
00:15:39Thank you so much for the ride.
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.
00:15:56Bye.
00:16:05Now what?
00:16:06Keep your eyes out for the bus.
00:16:09Maybe we'll get lucky.
00:16:10Nothing.
00:16:25Come on.
00:16:35City bus.
00:16:36Yeah.
00:16:38What?
00:16:40I'm starving.
00:16:43Let's see what they have.
00:16:45Hi.
00:16:45Hi.
00:16:46Um, could I have one of those?
00:16:49You want anything?
00:16:50Sure.
00:16:50I'll have the same thing.
00:16:52Uh, two of those and two sodas.
00:16:56150 lira.
00:16:58Thanks.
00:16:59I'll pay you back.
00:17:02If we can't find the bus,
00:17:04maybe 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.
00:17:10Tea.
00:17:11Okay.
00:17:12Well, forget that.
00:17:14Um, well, it's going to some more historical sites tomorrow.
00:17:18Backup plan?
00:17:18Just 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?
00:17:26My cards have been giving me trouble all the trip.
00:17:32No, sorry.
00:17:35I mean, at least you have cash.
00:17:37Not much.
00:17:38Hotel Istanbul.
00:17:47Hotel Istanbul.
00:17:48Hi.
00:17:48Yeah, it's Jeb Allen.
00:17:49Mr. Allen.
00:17:50I'm afraid I have bad news.
00:17:52Okay.
00:17:53Uh, what?
00:17:54The tour company's closed.
00:17:56I couldn't reach anyone,
00:17:57but they open up again in the morning.
00:17:59The morning?
00:18:01Great.
00:18:02What am I supposed to do in the meantime?
00:18:03I suggest find a place for the evening.
00:18:06Call me in the morning,
00:18:07and I will see what the tour company can do.
00:18:09Okay.
00:18:09Any 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 ATM.
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,
00:18:28and we don't.
00:18:29Yeah, but I could call my dad or my assistant back home
00:18:31and have them send us money.
00:18:35That's a great idea.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:39Hi.
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 arrangements 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.
00:19:01You bring it here.
00:19:02No, you see, they got lost.
00:19:04Along with her phone, her wallet.
00:19:07Look, it's a long story,
00:19:08but we're just trying to get to Istanbul,
00:19:10and we don't have enough money, so...
00:19:13I am sorry.
00:19:14Without passport, you cannot get money.
00:19:17Here, I have my driver's license.
00:19:20You said your wallet was lost.
00:19:23No, no.
00:19:24Her wallet's lost.
00:19:25My wallet is right here.
00:19:27I just don't have enough money,
00:19:29so I cannot.
00:19:31You come back tomorrow with passport,
00:19:33transfer information, I can help.
00:19:35But is there only...
00:19:36I'm sorry.
00:19:36We are closed now.
00:19:46I mean, this has the potential
00:19:48to go the same way as the money exchange shop.
00:19:50I had to show a passport
00:19:51just to check into a hotel in Istanbul.
00:19:53Yeah, me too.
00:19:55But I think that whole, like,
00:19:56asking to stay for free thing
00:19:57could be the bigger problem.
00:19:59Then there's that.
00:20:00Okay, you ask.
00:20:13Why me?
00:20:14Because you got us the right from the watch guy.
00:20:15So that means it's your turn?
00:20:17No, that means you're better at it than me.
00:20:18And, uh, well,
00:20:20we only have one impression to make.
00:20:22So...
00:20:22We have a problem that I was
00:20:28hoping maybe you could help us with.
00:20:30Are you guests here?
00:20:31No, but we would like to be.
00:20:35You see, we were on a tour bus
00:20:37and it left us
00:20:38and all of our things are still on the bus
00:20:39so we don't have a way to pay for the room.
00:20:42No, sorry then.
00:20:43I cannot help.
00:20:44What about this watch?
00:20:48It's genuine.
00:20:50Kind of.
00:20:51Sorry.
00:20:52No money.
00:20:52No stay.
00:20:53Okay, we'll work.
00:20:54There's got to be something here we could do.
00:20:55Cleaning?
00:20:57Please, we just need a place to stay for tonight.
00:21:05Uh.
00:21:08Is he getting security?
00:21:09I can't say.
00:21:11You sleep here
00:21:15and mop, okay?
00:21:17Great.
00:21:20You're welcome.
00:21:41Clean the room in the morning.
00:21:46You leave early
00:21:47before manager comes.
00:21:48Seven o'clock.
00:21:49Okay, thank you.
00:21:50We will.
00:21:51We will.
00:21:56It's...
00:21:57small.
00:21:59Were you expecting a suite?
00:22:01No.
00:22:01I was expecting to catch a flight to Istanbul tonight.
00:22:04Why?
00:22:04Our tour bus takes us back tomorrow morning.
00:22:06I had an emergency come up at work.
00:22:09I mean, you do realize I have a life to get back to, right?
00:22:11So do I.
00:22:12Yeah, 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.
00:22:33Hi.
00:22:34Hi.
00:22:36Hi.
00:22:36Hi.
00:22:36Hi.
00:22:37Hi.
00:22:37Hi.
00:22:38Hi.
00:22:38Hi.
00:22:39Hi.
00:22:39Hi.
00:22:39Hi.
00:22:40Hi.
00:22:40Hi.
00:22:41Hi.
00:22:41Hi.
00:22:42Hi.
00:22:43Hi.
00:22:44Hi.
00:22:45Hi.
00:22:46Hi.
00:22:47Hi.
00:22:48Hi.
00:22:49Hi.
00:22:50Hi.
00:22:51Hi.
00:22:52Hi.
00:22:53Hi.
00:22:54Hi.
00:22:55Hi.
00:22:56Hi.
00:22:57Hi.
00:22:58Hi.
00:22:59Hi.
00:23:00Hi.
00:23:01Hi.
00:23:02Hi.
00:23:03Hi.
00:23:04Hi.
00:23:05Hi.
00:23:06Hi.
00:23:07Hi.
00:23:08Balance.
00:23:10They said that because I didn't call them before I went out of the country,
00:23:14that my charges would be flagged as fraudulent.
00:23:17Even though it's legitimate and you told them that everything is fine?
00:23:20Yeah.
00:23:22That 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.
00:23:31So what about your other card?
00:23:33Sadly, it's through the same bank, so...
00:23:36Same problem.
00:23:38Yeah, exactly.
00:23:41Alright, I'm gonna get in the shower.
00:23:43Alright, I'm gonna go to sleep.
00:23:47So I guess...
00:23:50you can have the bed and I'll take the floor.
00:23:55Okay.
00:24:00Chivalry is dead.
00:24:08Tourists.
00:24:09Oh, no.
00:24:13Oh, no.
00:24:14Oh, no.
00:24:18Oh, no.
00:24:19Oh, no.
00:24:48Oh, no.
00:24:49I'm gonna go to sleep.
00:24:50Oh, no.
00:24:51Oh, no.
00:24:53Oh, no.
00:24:54Oh, no.
00:24:55Oh, no.
00:24:57Oh, no.
00:24:58Oh, no.
00:25:01Oh, no.
00:25:02Hi, I spoke to someone at the hotel last night.
00:25:04Is he there?
00:25:06Okay, I'm sorry.
00:25:07I don't understand anything you're saying.
00:25:10Look, did he leave any word about tour company
00:25:14or maybe Ephesus?
00:25:16Yeah, yeah, 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
00:25:29about 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 word sick, no, and Ephesus,
00:25:37which 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?
00:25:44I just saw a pamphlet and called.
00:25:46I don't actually have a hotel back in Istanbul.
00:25:48I checked out for this tour.
00:25:50Hello?
00:25:51You must leave now.
00:25:53The manager will be here soon.
00:25:54So what do we do now?
00:26:02I don't know.
00:26:04We should probably try to get to the U.S. Embassy.
00:26:06I mean, our things may be long gone.
00:26:08At least they can get us what we need to get home.
00:26:10Do you have any educated guesses on where the closest embassy might be?
00:26:16Istanbul?
00:26:17Yeah.
00:26:18Exactly.
00:26:19Okay.
00:26:20We will make our way there then.
00:26:22I 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.
00:26:29You know, will 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, and I didn't force you to get off the bus, and I didn't tell the bus
00:26:44driver 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
00:26:50our lives.
00:26:51Let's stop here.
00:26:56I'm thirsty.
00:27:01Well, I really think that we should save the money that you have.
00:27:03I'm not at the risk of getting dehydrated.
00:27:05Plus, I need to see if my card's worked.
00:27:07Okay, well, I'm doing the math in my head, and we're not going to have enough money if
00:27:10your cards don't work.
00:27:11Cross your fingers.
00:27:16Hi, uh, four waters, please.
00:27:24No.
00:27:26Worth a shot?
00:27:28Um, all right, just two.
00:27:32We have a little left, enough until my cards get fixed.
00:27:38Oh.
00:27:40Did I get one of those?
00:27:41Yeah.
00:27:42Here.
00:27:43Excuse me.
00:27:44What?
00:27:45I think that guy just took my wallet.
00:27:46What?
00:27:47That guy just took my wallet!
00:27:48Hey!
00:27:49Hey!
00:27:50Hey!
00:27:51Hey!
00:27:52Hey!
00:27:53Hey!
00:27:54Hey!
00:27:55Hey!
00:27:56Hey!
00:27:57Hey!
00:27:58Hey!
00:27:59Hey!
00:28:00Hey!
00:28:01Hey!
00:28:02Hey!
00:28:03Hey!
00:28:04Hey!
00:28:05Hey!
00:28:06Hey!
00:28:07Hey!
00:28:08Hey!
00:28:09Hey!
00:28:10Hey!
00:28:11Great.
00:28:13This trip just keeps getting better.
00:28:15Okay, well, the joke's on him.
00:28:17You didn't have any, almost any cash in your wallet,
00:28:19and, I mean, your cards don't work, so...
00:28:21Yeah, until later today when we could really use them.
00:28:26Hey, Chuck, it'll be okay.
00:28:30Somehow.
00:28:31Oh, look how cute this place is.
00:28:41Yeah, 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.
00:28:51Go on.
00:28:52Eat.
00:29:01Oh.
00:29:02Eat?
00:29:03Sit.
00:29:07Eat.
00:29:19Not quite what you expected, I bet.
00:29:21Yeah, but it was really kind of her, and, well, I would love to have standards.
00:29:27You're hungry.
00:29:29Don't judge me.
00:29:39It's not gross.
00:29:41It's food.
00:29:42It's, uh, it's clerk intake.
00:29:47Necessary.
00:29:48It's necessary.
00:29:49Necessary.
00:29:50No, you know what?
00:29:52I can't do it.
00:29:53Okay, it's not gonna hurt you.
00:29:55And you don't know that.
00:29:56Ah, the human body is pretty adept at fighting off bacteria.
00:29:59Ugh.
00:30:00Don't say that word.
00:30:01Trust me.
00:30:02You'll be fine.
00:30:03How do you know that?
00:30:04I'm a vet.
00:30:07Fine.
00:30:08Fine.
00:30:09Don't believe me.
00:30:10I'd believe what you say about animals.
00:30:11Well, I'm pretty sure that I still have a degree with the word doctor in it.
00:30:18Okay, okay.
00:30:19You're gonna feel better once your stomach is full enough and that hangry feeling goes away.
00:30:25Not bad.
00:30:26Thanks.
00:30:27And Hope, I'm sorry for not making this any easier.
00:30:40I know you didn't mean for this to happen.
00:30:41Apology accepted.
00:30:42Thanks.
00:30:43So, Istanbul.
00:30:45Do you think we can hitch rides to get there?
00:30:46Maybe.
00:30:47Um, I mean, I'm not the backpacker type, but we have gotten this far.
00:30:48So, Istanbul.
00:30:51Do you think we can hitch rides to get there?
00:30:52Maybe.
00:30:53Um, I mean, I'm not the backpacker type, but we have gotten this far.
00:31:00So, why are you here anyway?
00:31:12I mean, in this country.
00:31:13I, um, I was a guest speaker at a conference.
00:31:19What topic?
00:31:20It's kind of technical.
00:31:24Okay.
00:31:25technical. Okay, um, basically data mining while navigating privacy concerns within cloud
00:31:32technologies. Sounds riveting. Yeah. Did it not go well, or? No, it was fine. Oh, sorry,
00:31:44you just said that your job was at risk, so I thought that. Oh, no, it's, uh, it's complicated.
00:31:48Oh, sorry, we can't pay. It's fine. Oh, thank you.
00:31:56Kind of restores your faith in humanity, huh? Yeah.
00:32:08Any luck? No, still won't turn on.
00:32:14How serious were you about hitchhiking? Is that me?
00:32:18I'm going to go ask this guy. Yeah, but what if he is?
00:32:22Criminal? Well, I was going to say, what if he's not going to Istanbul?
00:32:26One way to find out.
00:32:33Excuse me, hi. Um, we need to get to Istanbul. Uh, we need a ride. Could you, uh, drive us to Istanbul?
00:32:38No, English. Okay. Um, uh, Istanbul? Uh, you go to Istanbul? Ride?
00:32:48Yeah. What is it? Uh, translation app. Hmm. Clever. Did you tell him?
00:32:56Yeah. See me typing? Just making sure.
00:32:59I have some more deliveries to make, but then I'm going a hundred kilometers in that direction.
00:33:10I'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.
00:33:29Oh, uh, wait. Um...
00:33:31What are you doing?
00:33:37Uh, I'm asking where we are.
00:33:42Okay, go ahead.
00:33:46How do you tell us?
00:33:47Oh, okay. Thank you.
00:33:49I'll send the car.
00:33:50Oh, I can keep it?
00:33:51Oh.
00:33:51Oh, thank you. Have a good day.
00:33:55Okay. Um...
00:33:57So, where are we?
00:33:59We are here.
00:34:00So, I think north is, uh, I think we have to go that way.
00:34:13Wait. Hold on.
00:34:16What?
00:34:16I think that this is, uh...
00:34:19What?
00:34:20I think it's one of the places that we were supposed to stop on the tour.
00:34:25It is. Come on, let's go.
00:34:26Could the bus be here?
00:34:30Any 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, we're probably all long gone by now.
00:34:43Well, 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.
00:34:56Yeah. I just wish I had my camera.
00:35:20See you next time.
00:35:51So, what's with the envelope?
00:36:00They're letters. They're all letters.
00:36:04From my mom.
00:36:06She came here when she was younger, and she loved it.
00:36:12Why was she here?
00:36:15To explore. To be on her own, I think.
00:36:19That's when she talks about how strong the walls are.
00:36:26And the idea that the fort protected people for centuries, and it made her feel safe.
00:36:34I think she was nervous about traveling on her own.
00:36:38And this place, how did she put it?
00:36:46She felt like she got strength from here that she took with her.
00:36:53Hmm. That's pretty neat.
00:36:56Did she write all the letters when she was here?
00:36:58Uh, no. She wrote them a few months ago before she passed away.
00:37:07I'm so sorry.
00:37:10It's okay.
00:37:11My, uh, dad gave them to me with 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...
00:37:24This was the earliest I felt like I could come.
00:37:28So, if she came here, does that mean the other letters are from other spots on the tour?
00:37:33Yeah. Most of them.
00:37:37That's why I chose the tour.
00:37:40Wow.
00:37:42Well, it's an amazing gift she left you.
00:37:47Yeah.
00:37:49Yeah, it is.
00:37:54Thanks for stopping back there.
00:37:56It was cool.
00:37:58I'm glad we did.
00:37:58I mean, we might as well enjoy something on this trip, right?
00:38:04Yeah.
00:38:07I think maybe we just keep on this way, try to get to the next town.
00:38:12Okay. I'll keep an eye out for a ride.
00:38:21Cold?
00:38:22Aren't you?
00:38:23Not really.
00:38:25My feet are killing me.
00:38:27That's all I could think about.
00:38:28All of these hills and roads that we've passed and still no town?
00:38:32Can't turn back.
00:38:33I know, but...
00:38:36Oh!
00:38:37A car!
00:38:38Wait.
00:38:39Hey!
00:38:40Over here!
00:38:42See?
00:38:43Drunk?
00:38:44Nope.
00:38:44Oh!
00:38:52Are you okay?
00:38:54Yeah.
00:38:57Um...
00:39:11I, uh...
00:39:12I think maybe we should stop and find a place, you know, off the road for tonight.
00:39:19Yeah.
00:39:21Good idea.
00:39:21What is this place?
00:39:36No idea.
00:39:38Did you see a sign?
00:39:39Uh-uh.
00:39:42Oh, look at this.
00:39:44Try the door.
00:39:44It's locked.
00:39:45Um...
00:39:46It's locked.
00:40:02Okay.
00:40:02Not a bad place to stop.
00:40:08All right.
00:40:11Let's drive over there.
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:19I miss my hotel.
00:40:22I know what you mean.
00:40:24At least it's peaceful out here.
00:40:25Yeah.
00:40:30Did you tell what that was?
00:40:31Yeah.
00:40:34An animal.
00:40:37Wow.
00:40:37That...
00:40:38That's great.
00:40:39It's...
00:40:39It's really helped.
00:40:42Do you have any pets?
00:40:47Fish.
00:40:48That's it?
00:40:50I love my patients.
00:40:52But when I come home, I need a break.
00:40:53Kind of like how a pizza maker, when he comes home, purposely doesn't eat pizza.
00:40:59And that's your analogy?
00:41:00Yeah.
00:41:01It works.
00:41:03If you say so.
00:41:07So, do 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.
00:41:21My sister named him.
00:41:25Sure.
00:41:33So, where else in the country did your mom visit?
00:41:35You know, that she wrote you about?
00:41:38Troy.
00:41:41She loved Greek mythology.
00:41:43Actually, I already went there before the Ephesus tour.
00:41:46Like the, uh, Sultan Abed in Istanbul, where you can see the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.
00:41:55There's a cistern there, too, but I saved that one for last.
00:42:00That's nice.
00:42:02She talked about a lot of places in her ladders.
00:42:04Some, even more amazing, but not all of them got ladders.
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...
00:42:21We argued a lot.
00:42:25To say that we didn't get along is an understatement.
00:42:29Was that when you were a kid?
00:42:32No.
00:42:34My whole life.
00:42:35I mean, we were cordial during the holidays, but...
00:42:40We could have tried more.
00:42:42Should have 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 you say about Troy?
00:42:57Um...
00:42:58She...
00:43:00I like to imagine Helen in Paris.
00:43:05And all of the commotion that their relationship stirred up.
00:43:10And the battle with Menelaus.
00:43:13Menelaus?
00:43:18She wondered about the Trojan horse.
00:43:21Who wouldn't?
00:43:23I don't know, surprisingly.
00:43:25She was...
00:43:28Romantic about it.
00:43:30What's surprising about that?
00:43:31I mean, wasn't the whole thing some, like, big romantic affair?
00:43:36Yeah.
00:43:38But...
00:43:39She was just so no-nonsense.
00:43:42And the side of her was just...
00:43:46Fanciful.
00:43:48I mean, if that's the right word.
00:43:53Maybe she had more heart than she let on.
00:43:56Hmm.
00:43:57Maybe.
00:43:58Still cold?
00:44:06I'll be fine.
00:44:10You'll be cold.
00:44:12I still have long sleeves.
00:44:13I still have long sleeves.
00:44:23You're all good.
00:44:28Good night, Jack.
00:44:30Good night, Hope.
00:44:33Hmm.
00:44:34Good night.
00:44:53Good night.
00:44:53Good night.
00:44:54Good night.
00:45:00so just thinking ahead for tonight we have got to find a way to clean ourselves up so we can
00:45:10sleep so we're more civilized no argument there but that does take money so well uh keep your
00:45:20eyes open for a way we can make some quick cash then you all right yeah just checking
00:45:29smart i keep thinking i should try to find a way to call work but i don't know that it'd make a
00:45:37difference why not well i'm supposed to be in the office tomorrow and i could think of a few people
00:45:44that will know i'm not there not in a good way well so they wouldn't understand all of this
00:45:50more like they'd use it to get what they want which is what to see me fired really yeah
00:45:58i found out my boss sent me here to turkey to just get me out of the way i've been working on
00:46:05something and it's getting a lot of attention like really really good attention and turns out
00:46:11he wants it for himself no yeah when we were in ephesus i got a call from my buddy mark
00:46:18he's a co-worker and he actually let me know that they were interviewing for my position
00:46:23right behind my back wait so that's why you have to get back yeah
00:46:28i don't know if it'll make a difference but figure i should try right you have to at least
00:46:36stand up for yourself yeah that's the plan
00:46:40look what is that a turkish bathhouse isn't that just like a spa uh no it's really more
00:46:52of like a cultural thing although it's probably spa-like and more of the ritzier resorts definitely
00:46:57not my thing oh well that would definitely solve one of our problems hello come please
00:47:05have you a turkish bus oh uh no uh we would like to but i i don't think we can you can't come to
00:47:21turkey and not have a true turkish bus oh uh we don't have any money yeah oh oh what happened to your
00:47:28arm it's flaw i slipped i mean do you run this place by yourself because that would be really
00:47:35difficult yes some days yes maybe we can help you help yeah maybe we could do cleaning or help with
00:47:44whatever else you need you yeah and then in exchange we could use the facilities and 600 lira
00:47:52500 lira deal
00:47:57you go there uh stay please this is for you but first clean then you can bus okay i will
00:48:10you're there
00:48:14you
00:48:29you
00:49:33What comes?
00:49:43What?
00:49:47This is the best.
00:50:04I'm all done with these.
00:50:06Where do you want me to put them?
00:50:07Oh dear.
00:50:10Is this a lost and found?
00:50:12Mm-hmm.
00:50:17Hey, how'd it go?
00:50:20Um, disturbing.
00:50:23Oh, well, we got paid.
00:50:27And I got a tip for scrubbing some guy's back.
00:50:32Really?
00:50:33That's, uh...
00:50:34I don't want to talk about it.
00:50:36Well, maybe this will make you feel better.
00:50:41Where'd you get that?
00:50:42Lost and found.
00:50:47Okay, so obviously you've been through an experience,
00:50:52but we've got money now,
00:50:54so maybe we can find a place to stay tonight.
00:50:56Sounds good.
00:50:57Uh, where?
00:50:58Uh, maybe, um...
00:51:00Oh.
00:51:02Maybe a bed and breakfast?
00:51:05Okay, but no bartering, okay?
00:51:08I don't want to claim anything or anyone ever again.
00:51:12Don't worry.
00:51:13You don't have to.
00:51:14No.
00:51:21Ta-da!
00:51:22So you're telling me you got this room for 500 lira?
00:51:26450.
00:51:27I bargained.
00:51:28You what?
00:51:29I bargained, not bartered.
00:51:32And because of the extra 100 from your tip,
00:51:37we can go out for a nice, simple dinner.
00:51:39Very simple.
00:51:41Other good news?
00:51:42Breakfast is included.
00:51:43You're kidding.
00:51:44You're welcome.
00:51:48Okay, so we've actually made pretty good progress,
00:51:50considering the fact that we could have just driven a whole lot faster.
00:51:54What, with 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 a day or two.
00:52:02Ugh, let's hope it doesn't come to that.
00:52:04If we get the right ride, we can be in Istanbul tomorrow morning.
00:52:07Really?
00:52:07Yeah, but if not, we need to make it to that point there, and that'd be good progress.
00:52:14You know, this is pretty close to one of the original stops on the tour, if I'm reading this right.
00:52:19Which one?
00:52:20The Bazaar.
00:52:22Grand Bazaar?
00:52:23I'm pretty sure that's in Istanbul.
00:52:25No, there are bazaars everywhere.
00:52:28This is one of those enticing, spend-all-your-money kind of stops that they have on every tour.
00:52:34But...
00:52:35It's one that your mom wrote about?
00:52:38Yeah, but I mean, it's okay.
00:52:39I can just go on my own, you don't have to.
00:52:41Oh, no, no, no, it's fine.
00:52:44Um, we should probably stick together.
00:52:46But, uh, first, food, please.
00:52:56I say we use all the money we have left.
00:52:59That won't be hard, but what happened to saving it?
00:53:02Well, I don't know, I figured that you probably wouldn't want to work for another meal.
00:53:05And, not to be overly confident, but things have gone pretty good so far.
00:53:10I mean, it could be worse.
00:53:13No.
00:53:14Don't jinx it.
00:53:22All right, I gotta ask.
00:53:24How did you become such a good bargainer?
00:53:27Or, is that the word?
00:53:29Mm, negotiator?
00:53:31Sure.
00:53:32You know what I mean.
00:53:33I...
00:53:34I got it from my mom.
00:53:37She used to take us to thrift stores as kids, you know, to get school stuff or whatever,
00:53:40and she would bargain with the thrift store employees.
00:53:45I would get so embarrassed.
00:53:47I mean, I get it if something's overpriced or if it's in bad condition,
00:53:51but then trying to get a dollar off of a used skirt...
00:53:55I mean, I, for one, would love to see you embarrassed.
00:53:59I bet you would.
00:53:59I dreaded going.
00:54:03And the thing is, like, everything was fair game with her.
00:54:06If you hated it so much, what changed?
00:54:08Because now you are really good at it.
00:54:10I don't know.
00:54:12Maybe it's...
00:54:13just the choice of haggling or going without here.
00:54:17Maybe I'm...
00:54:18more confident than I thought I was.
00:54:20Maybe I'm channeling my mom on this trip.
00:54:26So, you don't do this back home?
00:54:28I mean, there'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.
00:54:36So, what's your secret?
00:54:39Please, teach me your ways.
00:54:41Oh, okay.
00:54:42There are three steps to a good negotiation.
00:54:47First,
00:54:49smile.
00:54:53A smile.
00:54:55Trust me, it means that you mean business,
00:54:57but you're going to be, like, cool about it.
00:55:00Got it.
00:55:02Two,
00:55:04eye contact.
00:55:06A little intense,
00:55:13but okay.
00:55:15And the third.
00:55:16The third?
00:55:18A handshake.
00:55:19Here.
00:55:20It has to be firm,
00:55:21but not too firm.
00:55:23Confident,
00:55:24but not intimidating.
00:55:26Just,
00:55:27like,
00:55:29sealing the deal
00:55:30with a
00:55:31mutual respect.
00:55:36It's a good handshake.
00:55:52I think
00:55:53I'm
00:55:54turned around here.
00:55:57Actually,
00:55:58I think we found it.
00:56:01I hope you brought your letter.
00:56:03Of course.
00:56:04I just wish I had my wallet.
00:56:06There's just so much to see.
00:56:18Wow.
00:56:21Hello?
00:56:23Come on.
00:56:28You're good.
00:56:29There you go.
00:56:31No?
00:56:32No, we're good.
00:56:32We're good.
00:56:36Dear Hope,
00:56:43It's been so many years,
00:56:45I hope the bazaar is still there.
00:56:46I'm wondering if everything I've written
00:56:48still makes sense,
00:56:49or if the places I went to
00:56:51changed too much to recognize
00:56:52by my descriptions.
00:56:54But assuming it's mostly the same,
00:56:56learn from my mistakes.
00:56:58First,
00:56:58watch out for someone
00:56:59taking advantage of the fact
00:57:01you're a foreigner.
00:57:02I didn't understand the money fully yet
00:57:04and paid triple for a scarf.
00:57:06I ended up giving that scarf away
00:57:07a couple of years later
00:57:08because it bothered me so much.
00:57:11Second,
00:57:12try something new.
00:57:13This was the place
00:57:14I discovered Turkish delight.
00:57:16Not the box stuff
00:57:17we can get at home
00:57:18covered in powdered sugar,
00:57:19but real,
00:57:20fresh-made Turkish delight.
00:57:21I'm sure the shops changed,
00:57:23but I remember buying 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 Turkish delight shops?
00:57:39Uh,
00:57:39yeah,
00:57:40actually,
00:57:40down there.
00:57:41Uh,
00:57:41but we don't have any money.
00:57:43I know.
00:57:43I just want to see it.
00:57:51I'm salivating.
00:57:55We just ate.
00:57:56Come on.
00:57:58You can't pretend
00:57:58that these don't look delicious.
00:58:01Which one?
00:58:02I feel like I'm going to get
00:58:03a cavity just staring.
00:58:05That one.
00:58:10Little outside our price range.
00:58:13Well,
00:58:14at least now I know
00:58:14why my mom wrote about them.
00:58:16Just looking at them
00:58:17is memorable.
00:58:17cool.
00:58:26Hey.
00:58:27I just remembered something
00:58:28that I wanted to check out.
00:58:29Um,
00:58:30I'm going to head back.
00:58:31Oh,
00:58:31okay.
00:58:31No,
00:58:32no,
00:58:32no.
00:58:32Um,
00:58:33you must be tired
00:58:33and the hotel's
00:58:34right there.
00:58:35It's okay.
00:58:36I don't mind.
00:58:37I'll be quick.
00:58:38I promise.
00:58:39Okay.
00:58:39All right.
00:58:40Be safe.
00:58:40Be safe.
00:58:40Hey.
00:59:06I think these are mostly dry.
00:59:09That'd be nice to have
00:59:10some clean clothes
00:59:11for a change.
00:59:13I think
00:59:14I'd like to burn these,
00:59:16so.
00:59:18What's that?
00:59:19Eh,
00:59:21it's a little treat.
00:59:23Here.
00:59:30Um,
00:59:31okay.
00:59:32Okay.
00:59:36What?
00:59:38I...
00:59:39How?
00:59:44I actually bartered.
00:59:50I,
00:59:50um,
00:59:51I just thought
00:59:53you shouldn't miss out
00:59:53on anything
00:59:54your mom wanted
00:59:54you to experience.
01:00:02You're welcome.
01:00:06You're gonna try some,
01:00:06right?
01:00:07After you try it first.
01:00:10And I still don't
01:00:12quite know what they are,
01:00:13so.
01:00:20Yeah?
01:00:22That good?
01:00:23Mm-hmm.
01:00:25All right.
01:00:26Wow.
01:00:36That is not
01:00:37what I expected.
01:00:38Mm-hmm.
01:00:38Mm-hmm.
01:00:39Mm-hmm.
01:00:39Mm-hmm.
01:00:40Mm-hmm.
01:00:40Mm-hmm.
01:00:41Mm-hmm.
01:00:41Mm-hmm.
01:00:42Mm-hmm.
01:00:42Mm-hmm.
01:00:43Mm-hmm.
01:00:43Mm-hmm.
01:00:44Mm-hmm.
01:00:44Mm-hmm.
01:00:45Mm-hmm.
01:00:45Mm-hmm.
01:00:45Mm-hmm.
01:00:46Mm-hmm.
01:00:46That's a look.
01:00:47Yeah.
01:00:48Thank you,
01:00:48lost and found.
01:00:49You're not looking
01:00:50too shabby yourself.
01:00:51Mm-hmm.
01:00:52Mm-hmm.
01:00:53Don't you want the bed?
01:00:58No.
01:00:58You 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?
01:01:17I'm not sure.
01:01:19Part of me's so angry
01:01:20about what's going on
01:01:21I could
01:01:21put up a phone call.
01:01:23fight.
01:01:24Make a big deal
01:01:25out of it.
01:01:25But.
01:01:27But what?
01:01:29I'm afraid
01:01:29I don't stand a chance.
01:01:32I mean,
01:01:32little me
01:01:33versus the big boss.
01:01:36Besides,
01:01:36I'm away
01:01:37and can't do anything
01:01:38about it.
01:01:40He's trying to fire me.
01:01:43By the time I get back,
01:01:44am I just making it
01:01:45worse for myself?
01:01:46I mean,
01:01:47maybe if you go
01:01:49quietly,
01:01:50he'll owe you?
01:01:51not that that's
01:01:53great either.
01:01:54Worked really hard there.
01:01:57I mean,
01:01:57if you go back,
01:01:58maybe he'll just
01:01:59stop what he's doing.
01:02:01I hope so.
01:02:02But even if he does,
01:02:04I already know
01:02:05what he's done.
01:02:07Do I really want to
01:02:08stay and work
01:02:09for someone like that?
01:02:09you're just making me
01:02:15really glad
01:02:15that I'm self-employed.
01:02:20All right.
01:02:21Question for you now.
01:02:23Mmm.
01:02:24If you could write
01:02:25back to your mom
01:02:26about your experience
01:02:28in Turkey,
01:02:29what would you say?
01:02:30I would,
01:02:33I would tell her
01:02:35I've gotten
01:02:35really good
01:02:36at cleaning.
01:02:38She used to
01:02:39critique my chores
01:02:41when I was a teen.
01:02:42She'd be impressed now.
01:02:44Mmm.
01:02:46And I would have to brag
01:02:47about my bargaining skills.
01:02:49Absolutely.
01:02:53Oh,
01:02:54and I would tell her
01:02:54that I have learned
01:02:55how to hitchhike.
01:02:56and
01:02:59and I'm glad
01:03:02I'm not alone.
01:03:06While this trip
01:03:07has
01:03:08not
01:03:10turned out
01:03:10like anything
01:03:11I thought it would,
01:03:14it, uh,
01:03:16it's still been
01:03:16a great adventure.
01:03:19Yeah.
01:03:20It has.
01:03:26Sorry, no.
01:03:28Okay.
01:03:31Nope.
01:03:32Not going our way.
01:03:35It's okay.
01:03:36I've gotten
01:03:37really 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.
01:03:46Aren't you supposed
01:03:47to wash those first?
01:03:48I think they'll be all right.
01:03:50Good luck.
01:03:52No, I'm kidding.
01:03:53I'm
01:03:54way too hungry to care.
01:03:56Mm-hmm.
01:04:23Thank you so much.
01:04:53Mmm, this is good.
01:04:59Yeah, absolutely one of our better free meals.
01:05:02Excellent work, sir.
01:05:03I've learned from the best.
01:05:04Oh.
01:05:05Hey, so I noticed something on the map earlier.
01:05:10Hmm.
01:05:11We're just a few kilometers away from some thermal springs.
01:05:13Wait, really?
01:05:14Yeah, isn't that one of the spots from your mom's envelope?
01:05:17Uh, yeah, it is.
01:05:20Shall we?
01:05:21I'm gonna eat fast.
01:05:23Are you gonna eat that?
01:05:28Is that it?
01:05:33I think it's down there.
01:05:35It's supposed to be beautiful, and you can get in the water and everything.
01:05:39Come on.
01:05:45How?
01:05:46Nature.
01:05:47I don't understand it.
01:05:51Nature.
01:05:52I don't understand it.
01:05:58Do you want to hear it?
01:06:07If you want to share, but I know it's private, so...
01:06:12No, no.
01:06:13It's okay.
01:06:14It's okay.
01:06:28Dear Hope, I remember being upset when I came to these thermal springs.
01:06:34I had talked to my boyfriend at the time, and it seemed like everything was doomed between us.
01:06:40There I was, in a paradise of sorts, a landscape so unique and lovely.
01:06:46I was just gonna hurry and take a roll of pictures and be on my way.
01:06:51And I saw it.
01:06:52I can still remember the shade of the water and all the limestone around it.
01:06:57Was it limestone?
01:06:58I think so.
01:07:00I remember soaking the pools.
01:07:03And looking over all the springs.
01:07:06It gave me perspective.
01:07:08One argument didn't matter.
01:07:11Only how I felt mattered.
01:07:14And I missed him.
01:07:16And I wished that he was there with me.
01:07:18And that's when I knew things would work out with my boyfriend.
01:07:22And it did.
01:07:25Your father and I got married later that year.
01:07:34My favorite spot was in the pools all the way at the bottom.
01:07:37Make sure to take lots of pictures.
01:07:40So your dad can see them.
01:07:45Love, Mom.
01:07:55Come on, aren't you gonna get in?
01:08:07I already have my feet in.
01:08:09That doesn't count.
01:08:10This is amazing.
01:08:12Come on.
01:08:13No.
01:08:14When do you ever plan to come back here?
01:08:19That's not the point.
01:08:20Point.
01:08:21Come on.
01:08:22Get in.
01:08:23You enjoy, but enjoy quickly.
01:08:25Daylight's wasting and we have another ride to catch.
01:08:29Okay.
01:08:30Help me out.
01:08:33Really?
01:08:34Isn't it nice?
01:08:48I could have told you that from up there.
01:08:50At least it's warm.
01:08:52That makes it all better.
01:08:54I'm just pointing out the positive.
01:08:56Where are you going?
01:08:58I'm getting out.
01:08:59Now.
01:09:00Now you're getting out.
01:09:02You said we had to go.
01:09:06So, you just wanted to see me get all wet?
01:09:10No.
01:09:17I just...
01:09:20I just wanted to see you happy.
01:09:24I know.
01:09:36Well, I should probably go check on that ride.
01:09:46Okay.
01:10:03Alright.
01:10:04Focus.
01:10:06Istanbul?
01:10:07Is anyone going to Istanbul?
01:10:12Anyone going to Istanbul?
01:10:15Istanbul?
01:10:20Worth a shot?
01:10:33Hey!
01:10:34Wait.
01:10:35Do you remember me?
01:10:36You.
01:10:37Hope?
01:10:38And you.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:40Hi.
01:10:41I hope you have two seats on this bus.
01:10:43You two are a mystery.
01:10:45Come.
01:10:46Of course we have room for you.
01:10:47We'll spend two hours here and then we go to famous beach.
01:10:51How long until we get to Istanbul?
01:10:52How long until we get to Istanbul?
01:10:53We have a stop at a hotel tonight, so tomorrow, late morning.
01:10:57I found your passports and things, but did not know where you were.
01:11:02I told my boss.
01:11:03I told my boss, but we never heard from you.
01:11:05Good thing I found you.
01:11:07So where are our things?
01:11:08I was supposed to take them to our Istanbul office, but I forgot.
01:11:12The gear below.
01:11:13Passport?
01:11:14Check.
01:11:15Closed?
01:11:16Check.
01:11:17Wallet?
01:11:18Lucky.
01:11:19Phone?
01:11:20Yes.
01:11:21Can I make a call?
01:11:22Go for it.
01:11:24Work?
01:11:25Yeah.
01:11:26Hello?
01:11:27Mark.
01:11:28Hey, are you there?
01:11:29Jeb?
01:11:30You are alive.
01:11:31You went dark a few days ago.
01:11:32I was worried.
01:11:33Yeah, it's a long story.
01:11:34So what's the update?
01:11:35What's going on?
01:11:36About the same, except I had an idea.
01:11:38Okay.
01:11:39What's going on?
01:11:40What's going on?
01:11:41What's going on?
01:11:42What's going on?
01:11:43What's going on?
01:11:44What's going on?
01:11:45What's going on?
01:11:46What's going on?
01:11:47What's going on?
01:11:48Well, I'm going on.
01:11:49I'm going to go.
01:11:50I'm going to go.
01:11:51I'm going to go.
01:11:52Okay.
01:11:53What?
01:11:54It involves whatever proof you can scrounge up of your work, emails, Sheila and HR saved
01:11:58from the boss, and 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.
01:12:16I need to get back to Istanbul tonight and on a plane by tomorrow morning.
01:12:19Oh.
01:12:20Okay.
01:12:21But, um...
01:12:22The bus.
01:12:23I know.
01:12:24I know.
01:12:25It'll take too long.
01:12:26Come on.
01:12:27Let's go.
01:12:28Well...
01:12:29Oh, let's go.
01:12:33Jeb, wait.
01:12:34Come on.
01:12:35Let's find a taxi.
01:12:37Jeb, hold on.
01:12:38The bus is going to take us back tomorrow morning.
01:12:42It'll take too long.
01:12:43Well, I highly doubt you're going to get a flight out tonight.
01:12:46You don't know that.
01:12:47Well, I just...
01:12:50You don't have to go.
01:12:53I was thinking we would go.
01:12:58Oh.
01:12:59I, uh...
01:13:00I would, but the bus is going to the beach and it's...
01:13:06On your mom's list?
01:13:09Yeah, and I just have the beach and the cistern left, so...
01:13:12Yeah.
01:13:14Makes sense.
01:13:15But it's only going to be a few hours.
01:13:16I mean, I can't imagine it would make that big of a difference back home.
01:13:17A few more hours could be everything.
01:13:18But you don't know that.
01:13:19I know I can't take the risk.
01:13:20If I have the chance to fight for my career, everything I've worked for, I have to do it.
01:13:36But if we...
01:13:37Hope, listen.
01:13:38I've wasted enough time with all of this.
01:13:42I don't have the luxury of sticking around for a bunch of letters that don't mean anything to me.
01:13:54I'm sorry.
01:13:56That was...
01:13:57Yeah.
01:14:00Um...
01:14:01You should probably...
01:14:03You should probably get going.
01:14:05Listen, you know I didn't mean any of...
01:14:09And you should call about your wallet being stolen.
01:14:12And, uh...
01:14:13You should take this.
01:14:14Stop.
01:14:15I can't.
01:14:16How else are you going to get to Istanbul?
01:14:23Thanks.
01:14:28Safe travels, then.
01:14:35You, too.
01:14:36Bye.
01:14:40Bye.
01:14:44Bye.
01:15:15And our next stop, this beautiful beach, will be our last site on our tour, so enjoy it.
01:15:24This beach has a rich history and is thought to be where ancient mariners landed ages ago
01:15:31and discovered the beautiful sights of the Turkish countryside.
01:15:45So, dear Hope, my trip was winding down and all of my worries from life started to creep in.
01:16:15finishing college figuring out my future of course your father was a bright spot
01:16:20there but still I worry I'd spent my trip letting go and enjoying life growing
01:16:25up in some ways of course but it was coming to an end being here on this
01:16:30beach helped me relax I sat on the rocks and looked out over the water the sound
01:16:35was soothing I closed my eyes and let that sound those waves wash away my
01:16:40worries I have to admit I did that a lot afterwards too it became my technique I
01:16:45used whenever I was stressed or whenever we argued no matter your worries give
01:16:50it a try maybe it'll help you like it did me
01:17:00mr. Jeff you are back yeah I am what happened I thought you were gonna help me

01:20:01change of plans could you take me somewhere else
01:20:18thank you
01:20:25thank you
01:20:29thank you
01:20:39Dear Hope, this cistern has some neat history behind it.
01:21:02I remember I spent the day exploring all over Istanbul, but this was the spot that made me stop and think.
01:21:08I was so proud of how I fared on this trip.
01:21:11I felt twice as confident and experienced in life and the world in a way I didn't know I could be.
01:21:16I lived, and that's what I want for you.
01:21:20You are incredibly talented and hardworking, but don't limit yourself with what you know.
01:21:25Follow your heart. Trust 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, but 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, and not because you're my daughter and it's expected, but because you are amazing.
01:21:56I love everything about you, even your strength to hold your own when we argued.
01:22:01Never doubt that love.
01:22:05I love you too, Mom.
01:22:10Here, you want a photo?
01:22:26What are you doing here?
01:22:31Well, this is one of the places to see in Istanbul, right?
01:22:35Couldn't come all this way and miss it.
01:22:38I just, I thought you would be on a plane by now or back in Atlanta.
01:22:44Eventually, but I had somewhere more important to be today.
01:22:51Where?
01:22:55With you.
01:23:00But what about your job?
01:23:03It'll either be there when I get back or not.
01:23:07But I do have the truth on my side, and maybe it'll be enough.
01:23:14Well, I mean, you deserve everything you've worked for, and I hope that they see that.
01:23:20Me too.
01:23:23I, uh, I realized after you were gone that I never told you how grateful I was to have you by my side.
01:23:37Are you sure it was grateful instead of annoyed?
01:23:45Eventually.
01:23:48But you made me feel safe and at ease, and I 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, worst trip ever.
01:24:18But I 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?
01:24:27I let everything I was afraid of with my job overshadow what I felt for you.
01:24:34This morning I woke up thinking about that plane ride, fretting the entire way home about my future.
01:24:41But you're here.
01:24:43Because nothing that truly matters is on that plane.
01:24:47Or back home.
01:24:49It's right here.
01:24:58I like your logic.
01:25:00Yeah?
01:25:01And I agree with it.
01:25:04Wholeheartedly.
01:25:06Wholeheartedly.
01:25:07Wholeheartedly.
