only one who's got moves.

218

00:
17:23,893 -- 00:17:24,792

Apparently not.

219

00:
17:25,994 -- 00:17:27,294

Welcome to Istanbul.

220

00:
17:34,836 -- 00:17:36,003

Not too shabby, huh?

221

00:
17:36,404 -- 00:17:37,304

Wow.

222

00:
17:38,072 -- 00:17:40,541

Oh, my God.

223

00:
17:40,543 -- 00:17:42,409

Mom, look at this.

224

00:
17:43,378 -- 00:17:44,878

Oh, my God!

225

00:
17:44,880 -- 00:17:45,979

It's crazy, right?

226

00:
17:45,981 -- 00:17:47,447

It's beautiful!

227

00:
17:47,449 -- 00:17:49,850

- Thank you so much.

- My pleasure.

228

00:
17:49,852 -- 00:17:51,318

Listen, I'll let you

get settled...

229

00:
17:51,320 -- 00:17:53,086

And I'll come and collect

you in half an hour?

230

00:
17:53,088 -- 00:17:54,288

Okay.

231

00:
17:56,057 -- 00:17:57,558

Later.

232

00:
18:16,177 -- 00:18:17,211

Good morning.

233

00:
18:23,284 -- 00:18:24,484

Good.

234

00:
18:24,486 -- 00:18:25,586

Go.

235

00:
18:25,588 -- 00:18:26,854

Fast.

236

00:
18:26,856 -- 00:18:27,521

Let's go.

237

00:
19:16,238 -- 00:19:17,337

- Hey.

- Hey.

238

00:
19:17,339 -- 00:19:18,972

You look great.

239

00:
19:18,974 -- 00:19:19,640

You, too.

240

00:
19:20,642 -- 00:19:23,410

So, where are we heading?

241

00:
19:23,412 -- 00:19:27,581

Well, I am going nowhere. I'm beat.

242

00:
19:27,583 -- 00:19:30,484

I'm just going to take a nice

long bath and get into bed.

243

00:
19:30,486 -- 00:19:31,518

Lennie. Are you sure?

244

00:
19:31,520 -- 00:19:32,352

Yeah.

245

00:
19:34,422 -- 00:19:35,555

I guess it's just

you and me, kiddo.

246

00:
19:42,196 -- 00:19:47,668

On this side is Europe,

and the other side is Asia.

247

00:
19:49,404 -- 00:19:53,340

And every conquest since,

for the last 2,500 years...

248

00:
19:53,342 -- 00:19:56,343

Whether it was the west going

east or the east going west...

249

00:
19:56,345 -- 00:19:59,012

They all used this

very same waterway.

250

00:
20:00,282 -- 00:20:02,082

- You want some tea, baby?

- Yeah.

251

00:
20:02,084 -- 00:20:04,084

Just one, please.

252

00:
20:04,086 -- 00:20:06,086

How do you know

all this stuff?

253

00:
20:06,088 -- 00:20:08,121

How do I know it?

254

00:
20:08,123 -- 00:20:12,526

I read it in a book

on the flight over.

255

00:
20:12,528 -- 00:20:14,461

And you can borrow it if you wish.

256

00:
20:14,463 -- 00:20:15,462

Yeah, I would.

257

00:
20:16,965 -- 00:20:20,334

So, this Jamie...

258

00:
20:20,336 -- 00:20:23,603

Is it... Serious?

259

00:
20:23,605 -- 00:20:24,538

That was a really

smooth transition.

260

00:
20:28,076 -- 00:20:29,710

I don't know.

261

00:
20:29,712 -- 00:20:31,445

It's only been

a few months.

262

00:
20:31,447 -- 00:20:33,046

Are you in love with him?

263

00:
20:35,216 -- 00:20:37,351

I guess I'm not sure yet.

264

00:
20:37,353 -- 00:20:39,186

Have you ever

been in love before?

265

00:
20:43,291 -- 00:20:46,259

Not the way that

mom talks about it.

266

00:
20:46,261 -- 00:20:48,562

How does she

describe it?

267

00:
20:48,564 -- 00:20:50,597

She said when

you guys met...

268

00:
20:53,701 -- 00:20:55,602

That it was

super special.

269

00:
20:55,604 -- 00:20:57,704

Super special?

She said that?

270

00:
20:57,706 -- 00:21:00,474

I think the exact

word she used was...

271

00:
21:01,042 -- 00:21:02,709

"magical."

272

00:
21:05,179 -- 00:21:07,447

Magical, huh?

273

00:
21:49,290 -- 00:21:50,557

It's good to see

you again, my friend.

274

00:
21:54,129 -- 00:21:55,162

Is everything prepared?

275

00:
21:56,130 -- 00:21:57,264

As you requested.

276

00:
21:58,266 -- 00:21:59,332

Ah! Perfect.

277

00:
22:44,846 -- 00:22:46,546

- Yeah?

- He's in the lobby.

278

00:
22:46,548 -- 00:22:48,348

Wait until he's outside.

279

00:
22:48,350 -- 00:22:49,850

And remember, alive.

280

00:
22:52,587 -- 00:22:54,588

He's on to me.

I'm leaving.

281

00:
23:12,140 -- 00:23:13,340

- Hey.

- Hi.

282

00:
23:13,342 -- 00:23:14,808

I thought we were

having lunch in the bazaar.

283

00:
23:14,810 -- 00:23:16,243

Um...

284

00:
23:16,245 -- 00:23:18,211

Jet lag just hit me...

285

00:
23:18,213 -- 00:23:20,814

So I figured I'd veg out by

the pool and let you guys go.

286

00:
23:20,816 -- 00:23:21,748

Meet up with you later?

287

00:
23:22,717 -- 00:23:24,251

I guess. Okay with you?

288

00:
23:24,253 -- 00:23:25,552

Of course. It's fine.

289

00:
23:25,554 -- 00:23:27,821

- Oh, okay. Bye.

- Hey, Kim.

290

00:
23:27,823 -- 00:23:28,855

That book I was telling you about?

It's on my dresser.

291

00:
23:30,291 -- 00:23:31,658

Definitely.

292

00:
23:31,660 -- 00:23:33,360

No adventuring.

I'll go call the car.

293

00:
23:33,362 -- 00:23:34,227

Have fun.

294

00:
23:35,163 -- 00:23:37,230

Hey, Kim.

295

00:
23:37,232 -- 00:23:38,398

I know

what you're doing.

296

00:
23:38,400 -- 00:23:39,599

what?

297

00:
23:46,574 -- 00:23:48,575

Yeah?

298

00:
23:48,577 -- 00:23:51,211

The daughter is staying

here. What can we do?

299

00:
23:51,213 -- 00:23:53,613

I want all three of them.

300

00:
23:54,515 -- 00:23:55,782

Yes?

301

00:
23:58,686 -- 00:24:01,621

She thinks we just

fell off the turnip truck.

302

00:
24:01,623 -- 00:24:02,889

What do you mean?

303

00:
24:02,891 -- 00:24:04,457

She's trying

to play cupid.

304

00:
24:04,459 -- 00:24:06,393

Oh, I see.

305

00:
24:06,395 -- 00:24:07,928

When you first

came back...

306

00:
24:07,930 -- 00:24:09,563

And said you wanted to

make up for all that time

307

00:
24:09,565 -- 00:24:11,598

- That you lost with Kim?

- Uh-huh?

308

00:
24:11,600 -- 00:24:14,568

I thought, "right.

Three weeks, he's gone."

309

00:
24:14,570 -- 00:24:16,836

That was usually about

the limit you stuck around.

310

00:
24:16,838 -- 00:24:17,871

Give or take a week.

311

00:
24:21,375 -- 00:24:23,577

Not too close.

312

00:
24:23,579 -- 00:24:25,278

You really proved me wrong.

I thought you'd never change.

313

00:
24:25,913 -- 00:24:27,547

Why not?

314

00:
24:27,549 -- 00:24:29,983

I don't know.

Your personality.

315

00:
24:29,985 -- 00:24:32,886

When you commit

to something...

316

00:
24:32,888 -- 00:24:34,421

You focus all

your energy there.

317

00:
24:34,423 -- 00:24:35,755

Like a dog with a bone.

318

00:
24:35,757 -- 00:24:37,290

Nice analogy.

319

00:
24:38,559 -- 00:24:40,293

You know what I mean.

320

00:
24:40,295 -- 00:24:43,997

When you give, it's 100

percent of 100 percent.

321

00:
24:43,999 -- 00:24:47,000

If I was on to something,

it was just that thing.

322

00:
24:47,002 -- 00:24:49,703

Even though I tell myself

I should change...

323

00:
24:49,705 -- 00:24:51,571

I could never

give it up.

324

00:
24:52,940 -- 00:24:54,274

- You gave us up.

- Mmm-mmm.

325

00:
24:54,909 -- 00:24:57,244

No, never.

326

00:
24:57,246 -- 00:24:59,012

Not in here.

327

00:
25:15,997 -- 00:25:18,331

Driver, turn left.

328

00:
25:21,869 -- 00:25:23,470

Lennie, don't.

329

00:
25:25,406 -- 00:25:26,339

What?

330
