Edition 2024, presented by Laurent Fontaine and Pascal Bataille Good evening, good evening, good evening! Good evening everyone ! Good evening, I did the Pascal tour. Good evening Laurent! I took the grand tour, did you see? Good evening dear friends,
thank you for being with us. Faithful to the appointment
from “Only the truth counts” on C8, for new stories,
full of emotions, laughter and tears. Only the truth matters
is the show that suits you, who looks like us
and which brings us together on C8. We are happy to do
this new number of the show this evening. We will find, Pascal, it is she who travels across France,
Rebecca! Good evening Rebecca!
- Good evening ! How are you ?
- I'm doing very well. Who are you in the dressing room with, Rebecca? Who is it ?
- Do you see it blurred? Yes.
- That's good. Actually, I'm with Sam. Sat ?
- Sat. Our Sam? No, our Sam. Our old Sam! The real Sam. The historical Sam?
- The historical Sam. Why did you blur it?
We have to see it. We were waiting to see
if we could defloat it or not? Has he aged like us?
- He hasn't changed at all. He still looks handsome. Always. He's not talking there? Yes, that’s what’s extraordinary, Sam! Yes, it's me, I'm here. I am here. Hello everyone ! Sam's voice,
for the first time on television. Pascal, I made some
some with voice, but it's not memorable. It's Sam, you blurred him,
we will find him at the end of the mission. To make a
“What happened to Sam 20 years later?” 20 years later. We are in everyone's memories,
but he hasn't changed. No, you neither. Sam, will we see you again soon, in good shape? With pleasure, Pascal. I am happy to see you,
to find this atmosphere, this generic. I love you. We will find Rebecca in her dressing room for a new story,
a new truth. Rebecca, who are you with? Story 1 I am accompanied by Paulo,
who accepted the invitation. Good evening Paulo!
- Good morning ! How are you, Paulo?
- I am very well thank you. Paolo or Paulo? Paolo for the Portuguese,
Paulo for the French. Do you have
a little idea of the person who invites you to this set this evening? I would think of my sister. Your sister ? Yes. You won't know now. We will close, according to our practice,
the connection with the lodge. We leave you with Rebecca. It could have been Paulo's sister, but she is not Paulo's sister. In Paulo's family,
there is a sister, but also a wife. Thank you for welcoming Paulo's wife,
her name is Fatima. Good evening, sit down Fatima. Good evening, Fatima, take a seat. I'm doing well ?
- I'm fine and you ? Fatima is a Portuguese first name. I learned while preparing this show,
I did not know, that Fatima is an important holiday
in Portugal. Yes.
- Is that it, every year? It's a somewhat lucky name. Somehow. We just saw Paulo. Paulo, is this your husband?
- Yes. You adore it, you love it, you have children, everything is going great, but there is a dark side to the picture,
he already talked about it. He just mentioned the track to us, Paulo has someone
which he normally adores, but whom he has not seen for a long time, it's his sister Candida. That's why you're here.
- Quite. You want to reconcile,
brother and sister? Quite,
It's been going on for a while. It's been two years now, for a birthday story,
because we invited a lot of people. We did a group thank you. Knowing that his sister
had organized the birthday, she expected to have
a message different from the grouped message. She took the fact badly
to be among the others in a loop. Is she a little sensitive Candida? A little.
- A little bit. I won't send you an invitation
at my party, you wouldn't be angry? It is discussed.
- No, but you would be in the loop. Send me a message anyway,
It would be better. I have to say that
This is not an ordinary birthday. It's not the 30, 40, 50 years old, because every year you celebrate
quite an amazing birthday. Yes, we have an anniversary
who is special since my partner Paulo
received a kidney transplant in 2017 and so his sister gave him a kidney. There were two first
which were not compatible. He was on dialysis for 14 years. Thus, his sister, following tests,
was able to give him a kidney. She was compatible. Every year we celebrate
the anniversary of the transplant. The anniversary of this donation and this family gesture
extremely generous. We ask ourselves the question of knowing,
in the public and then at home, These are recurring questions. My kids asked the question if you had to donate a kidney,
Who would you give it to? That’s clever. You have four children and two kidneys. I hope all four
will not need it. This is a real question we ask ourselves. Few people would do this,
it's not always easy. In this case, this is what
your sister-in-law, which you love, I imagine. This proves to what extent
they were close and on good terms. You don't donate your kidney
to a brother with whom we are on bad terms. They are very complicit.
- Very accomplices? Was it before that?
- It was before. Therefore, a party
family, friendly, suddenly transformed in a mini family psychodrama,
race results, how long has it been
that your husband Paulo don't talk to his sister? It's going to be two years
in April. Two years !
- They're really cold. Yes, they don't talk to each other. We crossed paths
this year in Portugal. We ate at the same table,
She is at the end and so are we. We crossed paths
with brothers and sisters, but they neither looked at each other nor spoke. Not even a quick glance?
- No. It was Candida who was upset,
but Paulo is angry too? Yes, they have a very strong character. They are Portuguese. They are very resentful. If one does not take the step,
neither does the other. It leads to blanks. Sometimes it's heavy,
since they are very fusional. Despite what his sister did for him. He still has a hard head.
- Very. Every time, every year, he thinks about the anniversary of the transplant. He tells me that today is about time,
I tell him: “call your sister”, no. That's a beautiful story
that we wanted to tell in pictures from your documents
and your photos. Look !
- Look ! In a family of 12 children, it's not easy to find your place. For Paulo and Candida, with a year difference, the complicity is obvious. Paulo is considerate of Candida
who follows him like his shadow. The years go by and their fraternal bond
grows stronger every day, even more so when Paulo falls ill. On dialysis for 15 years,
he rejects a kidney transplant. Hope is fading,
but Candida does not give up. In secret, she does the medical tests. The result falls,
they are 99% compatible. She will be his savior. Since October 11, 2017, every year brother and sister celebrate
this anniversary date together. Fatima appears in Paulo's life
Four years ago. For his sister-in-law Candida, she is part of the family
in its own right. The beautiful story could have continued
like a quiet river, but due to a trifle, brother and sister no longer speak to each other
for two years. The reason: an organized party
where Candida invested a lot and Paulo who didn't know how to thank her. Since that day,
Fatima is shared between the two. She sees the time gone by,
and no one wants to take the first step. It's decided,
she will take matters into her own hands and try to resolve the situation
before it is too late. This evening she invited Paulo,
but also Candida, to ask them
for both of them to reconcile. How will our two guests react
facing our matchmaker? A beautiful family, all the same.
- Yes. What makes
that you said to yourself one morning: "Only the truth matters". I'll call
Pascal and Laurent, their teams, then we'll see if my husband will bend his arm. I'm not hiding from you
that it was very complicated. Complicated !
- Yes. What happened...
- He doesn't like the show? Yes, he loves it.
- He doesn't like Laurent? I will ask him He can ask her too. No, but he said that
maybe it's Candida. I said, "Why..." Then he said no,
It's not his type. Obviously, he thought of his sister.
- Yes. Little billiard shot, as planned, we will bring Paulo
in a moment. Your first job,
when we receive it: to convince him.
- Yes. There will be the curtain. If he opens the curtain,
he's OK to talk to his sister again. He will come to join you. Double curtain! Double, double. We'll get Candida. We'll see if she decides
not to open the curtain. We'll know later.
- Quite. Does the principle suit you?
- Yes. You know we have double work
and you only get paid once. Yes, but there are two of us. We are two Pascals. I'll relax you a little,
because I feel a little stressed by the stake all the same. I say to myself: it’s double or nothing. I tell myself :
“He trusts me absolutely.” I say to myself: “He’s going to say…” Fatima, we are going to abandon you,
time to go find Paulo. Don't say anything before permission. You know the show.
- Yes. OK, we'll leave you. The curtain closes behind us. As soon as the curtain is closed, Frank Broqua and the teams
will reopen the lodge which is hermetically closed
during certain moments of the show so that our guests do not hear
no first name, no story, no quip of voice. Like this, everything is absolutely
mysterious and remains secret. Paulo, are you ready? Paulo, I ask you to stand up. You will follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. Thank you so much. Come join me Paulo. Good morning, how are you doing ?
- I'm ok thanks. My name is Pascal.
- Hello, nice to meet you ! Let me introduce you to Laurent.
- Good evening ! Sit down!
- THANKS. Good evening !
- How are you ? I'm doing well. I'm doing well ?
- Yes. Are you Portuguese?
- Quite. We know that we have
a large Portuguese fan club, in France, and around the world.
- Of course. We see on social networks. There are many of our friends
Portuguese, Portuguese, who watch our shows and comment. We love Portugal,
I was there on vacation this summer. I had an exceptional time there. We could have crossed paths. It seems they don't want you anymore. I had echoes. You spoke to us
of a name in the dressing room. You told us:
I think what I know, who invites me this evening. Maybe. You have an idea
who would be your sister Candida. That's it ?
- Yes. Why would your sister invite you on the set of
Only the truth matters ? You are angry with her,
there is a problem ? We got angry. There was a little problem. It will be two years in April. It's not a small problem two years. Two years without speaking to your sister? It's going to be two years altogether. You were not
very close in childhood. Yes, very close even. Until this quarrel
two years ago you were... We were united by... On very good terms.
- Yes. You argued over a
inheritance, family problems? When we argue
for two years with his sister... No, it was because we celebrated
50 years anniversary. with my concubine in a room
which she worked there. We sent a group message, to all the people
who came at our invitation. It is true that... Candida would have liked
be thanked directly by you, for what she had done
for the organization. We agree.
- Is she a little touchy? A little, we are strong in character, Both ?
- Maybe. Two years is a long time.
- Yes. You see each other from time to time
where do you meet? We saw each other in Portugal in August. She didn't speak to us.
- Oh yes. No hello, no kiss, nothing?
- Nothing. You haven't taken the first step? It's not that,
I was sitting, we were sitting. She did not come
see us directly. She greeted everyone. I was there with my partner. She didn't dare to say hello too. It’s true that we are a little resentful. What is your concubine's name? Fatima.
- Fatima, okay. Fatima is also angry with Candida
like Candida is angry with her? Yes, the fact that she doesn't talk to me... It creates tension. It creates tension,
she was a sister I liked. It was someone who was important
in your heart, in your life? In my life, I will not say
that she saved my life, but... She saved you, why? She gave me a kidney. Did she give you a kidney?
- Yes, in 2017. October 11.
- It's not nothing. October 11, 2017,
you obviously remember the day. It can't be forgotten.
- An unforgettable date. Same compatibility, brother and sister...
- 99%. It's rare for someone to donate a kidney.
- Yes. This is my third transplant.
- Third transplant? You had experienced dialysis 15 years of dialysis.
- 15 years old! A long journey. Thanks to Candida,
you have been free from that since 2017. Quite. That would make you particularly happy
if thanks to only the truth that counts, you could see her tonight.
- Of course. You want a clue
to confirm this hypothesis? I don't mind. Paulo, look at these screens,
someone will ask you a question. Paulo, if you were an element,
would you be air, water, fire, earth? Fire. Fire ?
- Yes. You thought a little bit.
- A little bit. Are you a hot person?
- Yes. Before, I was,
now less, because... We're getting old and there's been an amputation
femoral also which made that... Despite everything, I'm still on fire. It's a clue
who tells you something or not? No. It just highlights your character.
- Quite. A feature of your career.
- Yes. You would rather be fire.
- Quite. I offer you a second clue,
look again. Are you more
high-spirited like Laurent, or more calm like Pascal? Are you calm? More fun, yes. You are funny ?
- Yes. Are you making jokes?
- Yes. Yes, very funny. You are brilliant, beautiful, like me. We agree, we understand each other. Are you still holding a grudge?
- Yes very. A sister who gave you a kidney, who is angry because she believes that you didn't take
worth thanking her directly. You could have taken the first step.
- It's true. Yes, no, we have strong characters. I have something to tell you. I know, Pascal too, everyone here
knows who is behind the curtain there. Honestly, you are convinced
that she's your sister. On a scale of zero to 10,
How much is your sister on? Seven.
- Seven out of 10. You know what ? Zero. You will have to wait a little
before reconciliation, but you have my word. The person behind this curtain
is not your sister. Will you discover the face
of the person behind this curtain who is not Candida? Yes, I want it. I suggest you
to stare at these screens again. Franck Broqua and his teams
will appear the person on the other side,
who has a truth to tell you tonight. Is she your sister?
- No. It's my wife. Fatima.
We didn't lie to you. It moves you.
- Yes. Why are you crying ?
It's beautiful ? - Yes. She comes to ask you
in marriage ? She hid her game well. Are you moved to see her?
- Yes. For what ? Because I love him. It is... We understand you,
she's a wonderful woman. Very. She does everything for me,
she is everything for me. Without her, I wouldn't have come. You didn't want to see us?
- No. It's not that, on the contrary, but... What did he come to tell you
your wife this evening? Do you want to hear it? Of course.
- Fatima, it's yours! Hello, it's me, it's not your sister. How are you ?
- Yes, I am fine. You look good on television.
- Thanks you too. We've known each other for 40 years,
We've been together for five years. Today I made you come
for good reason. For two years now, your sister who saved your life, I'm here to talk about her,
that I made you come. Somewhere,
I would like you to make peace. I would like to make you understand that there is a given moment in life,
you have to know how to forgive I know it's not easy. I want, in front of the whole audience,
in front of all the cameras, in front of the television, I want you to say to yourself,
once for all, I want to make peace with my sister. I wish or wish she was there, that she sees you
and that you both may, even you and me, forgive him, forgive yourself, for small resentments
who have neither tail nor head. That's it quite simply. Beautiful approach that...
- Yes. From this Fatima who does everything for you, including, try to reconcile
with your sister, so, to drag you for that
on a television set. I did not expect that. With tick and tock there. You will understand better
the direction of the approach, is that your wife
comes to tell you clearly this evening: “I want you to make up,”
but she did better than that. She will ask you afterwards
to join her, if you accept it,
on the other side of the curtain, so to find yourself with her,
and we invited tonight, in the other studio, Candida. She has already arrived
on the C8 sets. She will be in your place
in a moment. It will be yours... With the help of Fatima... To tell him
what's on your heart, and to ask her, too, to open or not open the curtain. We ask you to get up,
to place you on the cross, Paulo. Facing this curtain, on the other side, there is Fatima, the woman you love and who loves you, came to do
a process of reconciliation, a little atypical since we are going to do
two successive curtains. Do you accept
the approach of Fatima, to try to reconcile
with Candida? Yes.
- So, we open the curtain. It moves you,
you already have tears in your eyes. You are already happy
of this first open curtain? Now it's going to be both, there,
with their wooden head. We will have to arrive
to reconcile it all. We'll let you sit down again, next to each other in the same place. Fatima... We're going to close the curtain behind you to be able to reestablish contact
with Rebecca's lodge. And welcome your sister. You are ready ?
- Yes. Normally, alongside Rebecca
must be found... Someone.
- A lady. Rebecca, can you hear us?
- Alright. Is anyone on your side? Is it a woman? Yes, she's a woman. Our little finger has informed us well.
- I have a little scoop about her. This woman is called Candide,
but we call it Candida. Those who call it Candida
are the ones she met before turning 18,
if I don't say anything stupid, or his family. She is more in a search
of someone who would look for her before he turned 18,
where it was still called Candida. Do you want Candida to join you?
- We're looking forward to it. Candida, I'm going to ask you
to get up. You will follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. Come join us ! How's Candida?
- I'm fine and you ? I am Pascal, this is Laurent Good evening how are you ? Get comfortable !
- THANKS. It's a pretty name Candida, Candide. What do you do for a living ? I am a guardian
of a performance hall. Okay, nice job!
- Yes. Do you attend the show all the time?
- All. As often as possible, I guess. Do you have children?
- Yes. How much ? Only four girls. Only four girls,
I only have four boys. Do you know the show?
- Yes. Do you watch it regularly?
- Yes. Have you ever said to yourself:
“One day I will be there.” Never. Did you question yourself?
- Yes. Who did you think of? Everyone and no one. That's a lot of people.
- That's it. Like what for example? Obviously, you have some leads. You said to yourself: “A childhood friend.”
- Friends from before. Rather the friends from before or the friends.
- That's it. Long lost friends? Yes.
- Yes ? There is someone
that you would be happy to see again? No.
- No ? A childhood sweetheart?
- No. No ?
- No no no. Candida, do you want a clue? Yes of course.
- Please look at this screen. Someone will ask you a question. Candida, when you were little, you were pretty naughty
or model little girl? Does it make you laugh. The real truth?
- Yes. Only the truth matters.
- Chipie. Yes, bitch?
- Yes. Like what ?
- Very. Did you have brothers and sisters?
- No. Zero siblings.
- No. Alone. We are 12 brothers and sisters.
- It's a joke. Twelve brothers and sisters. Slowly, time
that humor reaches the brain, I infuse and that I understand
It's a joke, watch out! I am very first degree. You were alone as a child. A poor little girl alone.
- That's it. Twelve brothers and sisters!
- Yes. How many sisters and brothers?
- Seven boys and five girls. Beautiful family ?
- Yes. All very close?
- Yes. Are you of Portuguese origin?
- Of course. Everyone sees each other,
have big parties, great lunches and dinners.
- That's it. Are you spending your vacation together?
- In August in Portugal. Every August?
- Almost. Whatever happens, are we all there? In which region of Portugal?
- Northern Portugal, Bragança. All right. So, everything is fine. However, you were a naughty person?
- Yes. All right. That gives you a clue
a little more precise, whether it's a childhood friend
who knew you bitch? Yes.
- Yes ? I will offer you
a second clue, Candida. It's in the same place
with another question. If you were one of the four seasons,
which one would you be? I know the answer. One, two, three: summer. I should have said it
at the same time as you. Summer.
- You weren't going to say summer. You weren't going to say summer?
- YOU. Yes, I assure you. Portugal, the sun...
- That's it. You have a sunny side. There aren't many people
who choose winter, while it's a beautiful season. Where did you go to school as a child? At the Jules Ferry school, then, at La Garenne college.
- All right. Any good memories from this period?
- Yes. Nothing happened to you
at this moment ? You've never heard of
of Jules Ferry's bitch? The famous !
- The famous bitch by Jules Ferry. You don't remember
of any significant event? Especially in college? No.
- Nothing at all. Do you believe me right now? Absolutely not. You don't trust me?
- At all. Do you take me for a liar?
- Yes. I'm tired of being so unreliable. I'm making an effort. To be also a liar and animated,
Only the truth matters. Candida, we offer you
to end the suspense? Yes.
- Yes ? Franck Broqua, our director, and his whole team
will pierce the curtain and show you the person
who has an important truth to tell you. Do you know this beautiful couple? And this handsome gentleman? Surprise ? I thought about it. Paulo and Fatima. Fatima played a very important role in the fact that
you are here in front of us tonight and that his companion,
her husband, her man, either on the other side
to speak to you this evening. Very important. Do you want to listen
what Fatima came to tell you? We will give the floor to Fatima, then we'll let Paulo speak afterwards. Fatima, it's yours
if you want to talk to him. You are talking to your sister-in-law. Good evening Candy!
- Hi you ! How are you ? And you ?
- How are you. You're very beautiful. You haven't aged too much in two years,
otherwise, you are very beautiful. I made you come, because it's been two years
that we don't talk to each other. Today I'm here to bring us together, ask you if you agree, at the same time, we
ask you for forgiveness, if we haven't been
lives up to your expectations. Furthermore, to reconcile us,
like when we were little, since we knew each other,
we were 11, 12 years old. We also did the 400 moves together. This separation from your brother
is very hard. Your brother is suffering a lot,
even if he doesn't say it. I see it through him,
since you regularly ignore each other. It was a process
for which I actually wanted, If it's possible,
so that you can reconcile my request. Paulo was surprised by this approach. He was forced to open the curtain. We didn't have to force it much. He's on the other side of that curtain. Do you agree to listen to it, before making your decision? Yes. Paulo, it's yours. Your sister listens to you. For two years,
you don't talk to him, take advantage of it. Quite. First of all, I wanted to apologize
in relation to this message. It's true that for what you did to me,
donate a kidney, no one, no other
won't be able to do it to me. It's sure what you did, it will remain engraved deep in my heart,
as you well know. If I'm here, if we came, this is so that we can
reconcile, if you want. So that we can call each other, see each other as we did before, that we can relive moments
as we went before. Are you affected
by the approach of your sister-in-law and now about your brother? Yes. Without giving us yet
your answer, but... Yes. What you did for him, it's not everyone
who would agree to do it, donate a kidney, we only have two. He'll give it back to me later. You must bother
family meals, since your sister is no longer here. I do not know if
I'm a fun-loving person How to stay angry
two years without speaking? He was waiting for my call
and I was waiting for his. We can wait a long time like that. The proof is here. You wouldn't have done it?
- No. Once a bitch, always a bitch. Are you happy?
- Yes. Are you relieved?
- Yes. You don't call, but we must bring you to Paris,
on a television studio. Because you were hoping to see Laurent? It’s him Laurent, just kidding. I love you too. Satisfied ?
- Yes. According to the principle of the show,
I ask you... Excuse me, are you going
a little hasty in doing so. I'm not convinced
that she will open the curtain. I'm not saying that.
- Hard head, hard head. She can decide tonight,
to make them endorse me for a long time. Why not two years too? He's just a brother. I have six more. We gave him a kidney, we don't care. He is alive thanks to us,
we do not care. I won't call him
and I will not open the curtain. If I were you, I would hold on. I'm a little scared. I don't know if your friends are watching us, but don't be seen as weak.
- Not at all. Or not to back down at all.
- Also. Candida, would you please you face the curtain,
standing on our little cross? On the other side of this curtain
is your sister-in-law Fatima and your brother Paulo,
to whom you donated one of your kidneys. Five years ago today,
six years even, 2017. They came to make a move
of reconciliation... - Together.
You haven't spoken to each other for two years. Do you agree to turn the page?
and open the curtain? Yes. Go for it. Go for it. Good morning. How are you ?
- Well and you ? It's a bit long. Yes. How are you ?
- Yes, very good. I have no doubt on the fact that you, Candida, and you Paulo, you are people
absolutely wonderful. It shows in your eyes
and there are things that are unmistakable. There is one person between you two that I would like
whom you particularly welcome, because it's easy to reconcile
with his brother, his sister, to find solutions,
but it's not easy to open his heart for the three and often being the added piece,
the wife, the companion, et cetera, or the companion
and that he comes to make this effort. This rarely happened to us on this show
to have someone say: "What matters most to me,
it's that my husband is happy" and he misses his happiness
his mom, his dad, his sister, in this case.
- Their children. and often his approach
absolutely wonderful. I see people applauding him.
- THANKS. Fatima. You have a wonderful wife and you have an amazing sister-in-law. It's true. No more annoyances. Looking forward, thank you. Leave all three again,
be happy. Fatima, congratulations on your approach. THANKS.
- Thank you so much. Hi.
- THANKS. Leave arm in arm.
- THANKS. Thank you so much. She is so beautiful. New story Pascal,
an astonishing story. Rebecca, can you hear yourself?
- Of course, I hear you. Rebecca? We have contact.
- I am here. Story 2 Do you have company, Rebecca? Listen, am I accompanied? Well yes. Anouar accepted our invitation,
He's there. Good evening.
- Good evening. Good evening.
- He's a little stressed. You have any ideas of who invites you,
this evening on our set? I lived a little
near Cannes. I also lived in Rambouillet, in Chartres. Now I'm in Paris...
- Many people. A city dear to my heart,
Rambouillet, I spent my childhood there. That's quite a few people. Alright.
- Do you want a statue in your name? No.
- A sort of Rambouillet? A plate on the ground?
- They didn't think of me. We're going to close,
Frank Broqua, the dressing room with Rebecca. We're going to leave our friend
continue to stress a little, but I'm sure that Rebecca...
- Va took care of it. We'll see if he found
the right person he invited, because who decided
to bring Anouar on this set? Someone who has incredible information
to tell him, It's Alice, ladies and gentlemen. Good evening Alice.
- Good evening. I'm doing well ?
- Yes. Sit down.
- Good evening. How's Alice doing? How are you. It's an evening
extremely important to you. Very.
- Who is Anouar? The boy from Rambouillet
what did we just see? Anouar is a man, who I have known for five years now. We are at the ex-relationship stage. Are you separated?
- That's it, we're separated. A great love story with him. Yes, it was a bit,
it's all fire and flame. I'm struggling myself
to put words to this relationship. They `re my best friend,
at the same time my lover, my lover. It's a mix of everything.
- Is he the ideal man? That's what we're looking for
a lot of women, a man who is both
the lover, the friend, the lover. How long have you been separated? It's quite recent. It's been about two months. It turns out that you not only have called our team
to win back Anouar, tell him: “You are the man of my life,
I want to start again", but above all to announce to him
absolutely vital information, he does not know.
- Quite. Is that what? I found out I'm pregnant. You brought us
your first ultrasound of the baby. I don't know if we'll show him. He is still very small. Yes, it's a bean.
- Yes. He's like that.
- Can Franck Broqua send it to us? Thanks Frank. We don't know the gender yet. Does it bring tears to your eyes?
- Yes, to see it like that, in a big way. It's going to be a shock for him tonight. That's it, I think he's not ready,
clearly, that’s for sure. I find that after everything we've been through,
when I saw the show I said to myself, that we had a lot
adventures between us, and I found that
It’s a huge way to tell him. I wonder
if he doesn't suspect a little, In any case,
that it was me who invited him. Everyone is wondering: Can we announce a man that we are pregnant with him
when we are separated? Will this pose a problem? Where are you with this information? I think the separation
still allowed us to have perspective on each other. Why do I still want to tell him,
that it matters to me? It's true that beyond that,
we still had projects together, and being a dad, a mom, it was really one of our projects. You realize, Alice,
There are several solutions. Solution A, I fall naked
and I discovered this and honestly, we're separated. I don't want children.
- Yes. It's possible. Two, listen,
I don't want to come back with you, but I am ready to keep this child
and to raise him despite the separation. Third, wonderful,
let's fall in love again and live from another parental passion, as we lived our love passion. Is that your hope?
- Yes. Solution three?
- That's it. If he opens the curtain,
Is it to come back with you? What I hope... It's also a way of apologizing because, on the one hand, it's still me
who was looking for a bit of an argument. That's why I'm not too afraid,
a little bit anyway, but I know he had the project
to be a father. You look super calm though.
- Yes. No ?
- No. I think I can hide it,
but no, I'm not calm at all. You say: it will work,
It's going to work, it's going to work. Yes.
- In cases where he tells you: I don't want children,
what are you doing ? Are you looking after the child? I didn't ask myself the question. I admit that I am waiting
really this show. I'm really waiting to see his reaction. I don't wonder what happens next. Why do it on this set?
- On the television ? Why not tell him,
invite him to dinner? I told myself that the fact
to do it on a platter, for me it was really
something remarkable, and it will affect him too,
because it allows me to show him that I try to accept my choice
and I'm going to do something flashy. You take your responsibilities,
until the end. This is what I was looking for. What will happen in your head if he ever says no
for the reconquest of love in any case? I know it will do
an emotional shock. If he says no, I don't know at all
how I will react. I'm sure I won't
collapse, collapse. We hope so too. Is he still in love with you? I honestly think that
despite the argument, you can't erase five years like that. I tell myself that even I, at the moment,
It happens to everyone to get angry, all couples have ups and downs,
sometimes things go wrong. I think Walt Disney,
it doesn't actually exist. You can't erase five years. I know that even me, 15 days later, I was already feeling a little angry about it. I clearly miss him,
and I know he is the man of my life. We invited the man of your life, Pascal?
- Yes. He's there, Rebecca brought him the invitation,
is not it ? Yes, Rebecca, like
as usual, traveled across France, you saw that Anouar moves a lot.
- I saw. She went to bring him
Alice's invitation. Located in the western suburbs of Paris,
we are on defense, the largest business district
from the Paris region, but also from Europe,
in all these skyscrapers, there are plenty of offices
national and international business. Business is business. I have to give this invitation
to Anouar, a young dynamic executive working in cybersecurity. We're down to his business, we will wait for its release,
because cybersecurity, we can't go back like that,
we wait. Hello, are you Anouar? I am Rebecca,
from It's only the truth that counts. Here is your invitation,
hope to see you soon. With pleasure, thank you
for invitation. Good day. Handsome guy. Your eyes are shining
when you look at it. Like you, when you look at me. So, are you ready? There is one important thing,
because we are going to receive, he is going to see you. He will suspect
that you want to win back. At what moment
you planned to tell him, we haven't prepared anything with you. To those watching the show, we do not prepare with our witnesses, what they have to say, without a text for them. Do you confirm for us?
- I confirm. At what point will you say
the most important event? You're not going to say it from the start?
- No. It's: I love you, let's get back together, you are the man of my life and besides...
- Yes. Don't need us to announce it? I think it will be okay. Anyway, I'm not going
tell him point blank: I'm pregnant, it's a little. The solution is to show him
ultrasound. Yes, ultrasound.
- It will speak to him, I think. There's only one baby, not two? I have not seen.
- There is a four. Because if ever,
he opens the curtain and you get married, you could have called them children: Pascal and Laurent.
- Yes. See you soon, courage.
- That works. We're going to close the curtain behind us,
Please. We're going to close a curtain
and we will make sure that the lodge is currently hermetically closed. Frank Broqua, you can open it. Rebecca.
- Yes. We always find you with
An Anouar, he looks much more tense. We are relaxed,
because Anouar has a file on me. I find it exceptional.
- It's what ? You don't know it,
but we've known each other for a long time, but I didn't know that either. Since 2009 exactly. So. I have some files
still crispy. How come ? You had a love affair
with Rebecca? No way.
- Good. He was a photographer, evening photographer,
and things stand out to me. I see lots of friends,
he had 1000 Anouar lives. However, I think that the best,
I'm asking you to stand up. You will follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. Good evening.
- Good evening Anouar. Welcome.
- Hi Anouar, welcome. Like that,
you have photos of Rebecca. That's it, one hell of an evening.
- In 2009. Yes, it's dated.
- It's dated, of course. I kept memories of the time
where I was an evening photographer, especially in nightclubs,
and when I learned that Rebecca worked on the show
I said to myself: “damn, here then”. You don't have any photos of us
in a night club ? No. No, people are looking
photos of us in the evening. We should have gone there more often. I looked to see if you were
behind the photos. You are Rambouillet,
but what did you do? I was not from Rambouillet,
I worked there. From ?
- I stayed about six months. Afterwards, I went back to Paris. I also studied in Bordeaux. It's a good choice.
- I moved a little. You asked yourself
Who invited you this evening? We have a machine
to go back in time in this show. Sometimes we have people
that we haven't seen for a long time, for example reunions,
childhood friends, an ex you haven't seen
for a long time. Possible ?
- Possible too. Everything suits you?
- It could be an ex, a girl who had a crush on me, a man too. It could also be a parent
who hadn't seen me for a long time, a friend or...
- A labrador. It could be anything.
- That's it. No particular lead? You made phone calls
asking: “Is it you or not?” I played the game
otherwise it's not fun. You know the show. Pascal has incredible clues
to show you. Do you want one ?
- I don't mind. A clue ?
- Yes. This one is going to be good. Look at the screen above you,
Anouar. Anouar, you believe that patience,
is it above all the art of hope? Will patience,
Is this the art of hope? I don't understand
the clue myself, but... Patience is the art of hope? We are patient, and that means
that we fill this patient with hope. Did you study philosophy?
- A little. We can live on illusion after realizing that in fact,
we can't achieve what we want. This is all very good. We really changed the show. We're on a literary show
high-flying. I wasn't good at philosophy,
I do not feel comfortable. Very friendly gentleman,
are you a patient person? Yes, I am patient. Very patient ?
- I can be very patient. Persevering? It's not the same thing. My patience, like everyone else,
it has limits. Did this clue help you?
- No not too much. Hopefully the second
be more enlightening. Look.
- Let's go. Tell me, Anouar, what is this for you?
the most beautiful things in life? The most beautiful thing in life?
- It's the family. It's being surrounded by loved ones,
by people we love, with whom we feel good.
- Parents, brothers and sisters. Do you have children?
- No, but I would like to. Married ?
- No. Not married, why are you doing...? Because I would like to. You didn't find a shoe
at your feet, if I dare say? Complicated ?
- It's complicated in the Paris region. I think it's the city
who is like that, since it is different from the province,
where at 20 already, everyone is married. Everyone has children. We arrive in Paris,
we're approaching thirty and it becomes normal, because people have more choices. It's more careerist. Do you feel alone?
- Yes. Do you want to know the person... There is no third clue?
- No, we don't have the budget for that. Prepare well, because we will have one
to show you later. Do you want to see the person's face
who invited you? Yes.
- Yes ? Yes.
- Do you know where this is happening? Look at the screen.
- It's here ? The production of Frank Broqua
will perform a little miracle, that is to say, to make appear
the person on the other side of the curtain. I do not see her. Patience, patience.
- Yes, it's true. Hold. How are you ?
- She is not yet allowed to speak. Well, it just goes to show that it's no one,
we'll say the closest. I didn't think she would dare. Do you know Alice?
- Very good, yes. She's also my neighbor. Is she your neighbor too?
- Yes. Is she your neighbor?
- We live 200 meters from each other. Neighbor a little far away, no landings. No, no levels. You know her,
because she is your neighbor or you discovered
that she was your neighbor? That's it. I met him and didn't know
that we lived in the same city, we never met. Above all, she is my best friend. It was like that
that our meeting took place. We spent a lot of time together, and there I am saying the word to myself
that the person quoted at the beginning... Patience.
- Patience. I was very patient with her. I've been around her for five years. You have been in love
and you have been together? I'm still in love with her,
it's quite complicated. It's quite complicated. Alice is...
- Are you happy to see her? It is a pleasure,
but I didn't think she would dare, because Alice, when we talk about patience,
she's a pretty wild woman who likes to be right, the last word, and with whom it is difficult to communicate. You know
what did she come to tell you? A little hint, we had a bit of an argument
a few weeks ago. I am not sure
that we all understand correctly. There you told us
that she was your best friend, that, et cetera, et cetera. Pascal told you:
“Have you been in love?” you barely responded. Yes, he already said: “Still in love”. What I expected from Alichoux, Alice... Who ?
- Alichoux, his nickname. Alichoux?
- Yes, she's my favorite. My little darling, I call her that.
- OK. What I expected from him, and that's where we had a bit of an argument, I was waiting for a serious relationship,
that she moves in with me, because we've been together for five years. Over the last year, I wanted
let it be clearer between us. I think that
It’s a fear of entering into relationships. For some time,
Did you try to separate? Yes, but it's from me. It is not the first time
except that I'm a little fed up with it. Have you been unhappy since then? Yes, because I expect her to be honest,
transparent with me, and that at some point it becomes clear...
- Let her take responsibility. Yes, what I want,
It’s a real relationship. Anouar, do you want to know
what Alice came to tell you this evening? Yes, it's impressive
to see it on a set. She has difficulty... It's hard to communicate when it's...
- Yes ? Yes.
- Hence the interest of this show. I want to hear it, yes. Alichoux.
- It's yours. It's up to you, Anouar listens to you. Anouar, I am very happy
that you came. It really touches me. There, I heard a little,
I'm a little under emotions, but honestly, thank you for coming. Now I have you in front of me,
on a tray, I am obliged to tell the four truths,
It's a bit hard. I wanted to tell you
that despite our argument and the ups and downs we had, I realized that I care about you very much
and you are the man of my life. There you go, I love you. I don't see myself moving forward
without you in life. You have always been there for me, although there were ups and downs. You are my pillar,
you are the one who accepts me as I am. There you have tears in your eyes too. I wanted to make it big
Because you deserve it. It's a little too
a way to apologize since I know
that maybe I'm a little selfish. I know what I don't think
always ours, I have trouble thinking of two,
It's certain. I am an only child
and I grew up all alone, I have always built myself. I would have been very independent. I realized that it's good
to want to make a career, it's good to want to fight, but as they say, with a king,
there is always a big woman behind. With a queen,
there is always a great man behind. I think I need you. Clearly I need you
in life. I can't do it alone,
that's for sure. I hope you accept this apology and would that please you?
let's come back together? That's the question
to which he will have to respond. We saw it in your eyes
and we saw it in your tears, Does this affect you a lot?
- It touches me deeply, because she's not the type of woman who will admit their feelings,
who will speak directly. I've known her for five years,
she is evasive when you start to talk about feelings or... What you say to me means a lot to me. Alice, a priori,
could we stop there? We will ask you to stand up,
not immediately, to ask you
if you agree to live with her... What was the third clue? Because the,
he leaves me with a clue. It has been said. No, I think
that there is no third. It depends on Alice, you want
send a third clue? Anouar, he makes a face there,
he wonders what the clue is. I hope she is not
striptease bar dancer. That's why I couldn't see you, we walk away, it’s normal. Yes, you will see. Do you know the clue? No, that was the first thing
that I want to talk to you about, were you up for it
so that we can come back together? The second thing
that I really hold like this, It’s because I’m pregnant. Since when ? I discovered it there,
about a month and a half ago. It's true ?
- Yes. I'm a dad ?
- You're going to be a dad, if you accept. Oh yes. Big Party !
- That's a lot of things. Since we don't do things by halves, we even brought you his photo. Oh yes ?
- He's not big yet. Small, small, small.
- It's a bean. He's small, but already very cute or cute. Do you want to see or not?
- Yes, I live a few meters away, she could have knocked. Shall we show the ultrasound, Alice?
- Let's go. Yes, we see the feet,
arms to the left? The feet.
- Imagination of a father. Without limits.
- We see it like that. We see that he looks like you in any case,
that's for sure. He looks a lot like you. Are there several or is it?
- There are four. The photo at the bottom right,
I don't see just one. The first photo at the top right,
It’s Rémi. It's at the bottom right that scares me,
I tell myself they are twins. No, don't worry, that's the image. There is only one.
- We already asked for it. Not only... You didn't come for nothing.
- Yes. He doesn't know what to say anymore. It's impressive ! Is it no longer the same? Yes, the first one, I could laugh about it,
but the second is... in two times. She's going to kill me there,
I didn't think straight away. Sometimes you don't choose, you know that. It changes ? We could have, before this information,
ask yourself what you are going to choose, with this information, I want to say yes, does this change your decision
compared to the curtain? Greatly, because on the one hand,
if she keeps, this means that my proposal previously
let us live together, and we build a family together,
That speeds things up a bit. One without the other... Alice, do you want to keep it? How do you experience it? I didn't ask you the question. It's true that compared to you, I know it now
for a little longer. I still had time
to think about all that. For me, it was a shock. When I took the test,
I collapsed. At the moment, I collapsed,
I was completely lost, especially since we had an argument
a few weeks before. Honestly, I didn't know at all
how I was going to react. Do I keep it,
I made a mistake ? I realized, I thought, and I say to myself:
no, it's a little life in me there, and I want to keep it
and above all, beyond keeping it, I want you to be the father of my child. I don't know the gender yet, but I wanted to see it with you,
and it's obvious. It was just obvious to me. You give me a beautiful gift. It's a nice gift. I did not expect that
given his character. I am... A bad character?
- No that's not it. There, I'm going to have a mini Alichoux, of terror. It is well worth it. Anouar, are you ready to get up? Stand here, please.
- Is it solemn? Looks like I'm at a wedding. There, it's just like that.
- Not yet, but it could come. On the other side of this curtain, Alice came to tell you
two very important things. First of all, you are the man of her life,
she realized it. She needs you by her side,
she wants to live with you. The second is
that she is pregnant with you. She asks you if you agree
to be the father of this unborn child. What you already are
and you take care of it with her. Anouar, do you agree
to open this curtain this evening, as Alice asks you? Yes. Yes, I open the curtain. We open the curtain. How are you ?
- Yes. Come on, lovers. She is pregnant. Are you happy, Alice?
- Very. Very ?
- Tears of joy! I am very happy,
It’s definitely a shock. Even U.S. Yes, so, are you okay? Lots of emotion this evening?
- Yes a lot. For a good cause.
- Quite a surprise. It's a lot. You make a very beautiful couple,
both. It's good to see your child
in ultrasound on a tray. Yes.
- We want to be a godfather. If you agree. Thank you so much.
- We'll let you go. Be happy both of you! Lots of happiness to both of you!
- Arm in arm. Thanks to you two. A new story, Pascal?
- With great pleasure. We will restore for this
the connection with Rebecca's lodge. Rebecca, who are you with in the dressing room?
- I'm with Bernadette. What region are you from, Bernadette? Story 3 I come from Avignon.
- Magnificent city. Yes, very beautiful. Rebecca, you will present
to Bernadette a boy whose name is Sam who is mute.
- Yes. In a few seconds,
we are going to close the box hermetically. We will welcome the person
who invited Bernadette this evening. A girl who has something
to say to this lady. Her name is Sonya,
Ladies and gentlemen. Good morning. How are you ?
- I'm good, and you ? Do you know the little cross? Are you okay Sonia?
- Stressed, but it's okay. Stressed ?
- Yes. The person who houses her next to Rebecca
is someone very important to you. I was almost going to say
one of the main characters of your life.
- That's it. Bernadette, who is your...?
- Mom. Your mum. Your mum, but not a totally classic mom, even if you consider it
totally like a mother. A mother who adopted you, right?
- Exactly. She adopted me when I was seven. Any granddaughter? Yes, I had a fairly complicated journey. I was abandoned when I was two months old. Then I went to nursery. Afterwards, I met host families. With my host family,
It wasn't going very well. I had to go to a shelter, and my mom,
who wanted to adopt for years, had the procedure for five years, had also given up a little on adopting
by the traditional route, we will say. There, social services
contacted him saying, that there was a little girl of seven years old of which she was the last chance
for her to have parents, they adopted me.
- So, it's very important. What you are telling us is that,
maybe a few days, you would not have been
Bernadette's adopted daughter. Yes.
- And Sonia would not have had a mother. No, I wouldn't have had
the life I have. You have brothers and sisters ? No.
- Only child ? Yes.
- Abandoned by your biological mother. You didn't know who it was at the time,
we'll talk about it in a few moments, but you have in the meantime
does research and discovered the identity of this person. Yes, I discovered my biological family
and from there yes, through them, I am lucky to have a sister, but by my adoptive family,
no, I'm the only one. This part of your life,
search for biological family, it's quite classic
in adopted children. There is this moment when
we want to find our roots and it's part of your story,
which explains that you are with us tonight, because it does not necessarily
been well understood, well accepted, well experienced by Bernadette at that time, right?
- Yes. It was complicated for her,
because I... At what age
did you start this research? I was young,
I always wanted to know where I came from, if I had brothers and sisters, when I saw people
looks a bit like me, I just wanted to know, not necessarily
to reconnect, but to have answers. Except that, I didn't know,
but she had searched, she had read my file before me and...
- Bernadette? Yes, she had read what was in it
and I think she wanted to protect me. She hid it to spare me the trouble
because there are beautiful things, but there are also things
more complicated to digest, especially when you're 17, it's complicated
and I did it on my own and I found the problem,
it's that she adopted me with a man who has completely abandoned himself
of his role as a father. He wasn't ready and it was complicated. He thought I was stealing my mother from him,
he blackmailed her Come in, it’s her, it’s me,
it did not help, on the contrary, it went very badly with me, so she said to herself:
“Since she found” "his biological family,
She was going to leave me, abandon me.” She suffered a lot from the fact
that I don't have a father. She always blamed herself for that,
but no, she's a very good mother. She couldn't have known that. She did a lot for me, honestly
I would just like to thank her. What you tell us,
it’s that Bernadette’s couple exploded a bit? Yes, completely. Because she wanted to take care of you?
- Yes, he wasn't capable, I think, he didn't want to, it was complicated
to manage a seven-year-old little girl. Between his love and his little daughter,
did she choose the little girl? Exactly, that's why, here it is... Then when you searched
your biological mother and found her she said to herself: "I'm going to be abandoned,
Finally, I lost my relationship." “Besides, I’m going to lose my daughter.”
- Yes, and since she moved away, I took it as abandonment. You were 17 when the conflicts
started with your adoptive mother. Do you remember this period well? It was a violent time
with your mother? Yes, I left and I left
also in my biological family. Did you find it? Yes.
- Was there your mother? With his help,
she told me I had my family. She thought maybe I would be
better there, so she said to me: "Go for it." Then I said to myself:
“She wants to throw me to them.” Although it wasn't that,
She thought I would be better and... A big misunderstanding.
- Yes, it was complicated and a bad experience, I was not well,
she said to herself: “She abandoned me.” “She doesn’t need me anymore.”
- She no longer needs a mother. This long, hard, beautiful story,
tormented, as we have told, Pascal, in a subject.
- In picture, look. With your photos. Sonia and Bernadette
were not meant to cross paths, but when a mother's heart chooses,
it can change, even save a life. Born to a drug addict mother,
Sonia took her first steps in a foster home. A little being who discovers the world
being alone and abandoned. Bernadette, she
could not have children. With her partner, they decided to adopt
and this is how Sonia will join his life. The little girl is growing up
in a loving home and discover what it's like to have a mother, but the lull is short-lived. Sonia enters adolescence
and the trouble begins. She proclaims loud and clear
that Bernadette is only his adoptive mother, thus breaking the heart
of the one who raised her, Sonia is looking for her origins. Bernadette is afraid of losing her child
and questions himself: “Am I a good mother?” "Will she love me one day
like a real mother? Finally, having become aware
from her roots, Sonia realizes that the bonds of the heart are
more important than those of blood and that the one who deserves to be called
Mom, it's Bernadette and no other. Today, it's in front of everyone
and to thank her to have always been there
that Sonia came to put in the spotlight the one she is proud of
to be able to call mom. We saw your very pretty eyes
get stuck in tears when you saw each other in each other's arms,
child, of Bernadette. These are times, I imagine,
important to you, real memories. Why did you decide to call us?
and invite Bernadette? Why do it there, precisely? Because I wanted
that it has an impact for her, because I believe that when I tell him,
she thinks: “She’s my daughter, so there you go.” My mother, in her work,
she has a lot of confidence in herself, but in his personal life,
she is sorely missed of confidence in her and we have the impression
that she doesn't feel legitimate, that she doesn't believe it then
that I would like her to understand, that she becomes aware
about who she is, the value she has, that she also stops wearing
the weight of my past suffering, and let us move forward and make her feel proud. I would like her to feel proud
about what she did and who she is. What are you doing today, Sonia,
Is everything going well in your life? Yes everything is fine,
I have a wonderful husband, I have three wonderful children. You are young.
- Yes yes. Yes, I am satisfied, moreover,
If I have all this, it’s thanks to her too. I could never have
have the family that I built, if she hadn't been there,
because if I became what I am, it's thanks to her,
I was absolutely not like that when she met me. Watch his reaction
when Rebecca brought him your invitation to Avignon. Today we are in Avignon,
not very far from the Saint-Bénézet bridge, best known by the name of
from Pont d'Avignon. Avignon is obviously known
for his festival, the largest theater festival
and living art of the world, but I'm here to put it back
this invitation to Bernadette. Bernadette lived in the north,
she arrived in the south, she is in real estate,
soon to be retired, she plans to enjoy her friends
and his family, here we go. This is where she lives, follow me. Hello, are you Bernadette?
- Yes. - I am Rebecca,
of It's only the truth that counts, I have come to give you this invitation
hoping to find you very soon on our set. Thank you very much, I am very surprised. Good day.
Have a good day too. She is very surprised, did you see? Above all, she told me a lot,
when she watched the show: "I don't see
who could come and say thank you." "Thank you for what, I have done no good
to no one in his life." “Why would anyone come and say thank you?” Which supports what you were saying. Although it seems obvious. Yes, no, that's good. Are you ready to tell him
what do you want to tell him? Yes.
- Yes ? Yes.
- We'll give you a few minutes. We will welcome him here. See you soon, Sonia,
we gave you a handkerchief. We saw, you had a few tears,
so we have already prepared things. If you want water,
ask us, you are at home. The curtain closes and we restore
the connection with Rebecca's lodge, where Bernadette is still located. Yes, we are still here and I think
that Bernadette really wants to know who speaks at such length. We just saw Bernadette,
when you invited him to her house, you knocked on his door, Rebecca, and Bernadette seems to believe
that it's almost a joke. You believed
straight away on the show? No, I believed
that it was a joke. You thought it was
a fake Rebecca? With the red down jacket. To perform pranks or hoaxes. So come and see,
This is not a joke. I will ask you
to get up, Bernadette, to follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. Thank you, goodbye Rebecca. Welcome.
- Good evening Pascal. Let me introduce you to Laurent.
- Good evening how are you ? How are you Bernadette?
- How are you. Do you believe it now?
- Yes, I believe it. Just to play a joke on you,
we did not create this decor, brings 200 people, no. Do you know the show?
- I know it, I've already watched it. Some ideas, you were thinking of a prank,
Did you question yourself? Yes, I questioned myself. What did you say to yourself?
childhood reunions, a friend or a friend with whom I reconcile,
a love declaration ? May I offer you a little hint? Yes.
- Look up there, Bernadette. On this set, who would you bring with you
on a desert island, Bernadette? On this plateau,
If you had to choose just one person, me, I know with you
who you would obviously leave, that you had to take
on a desert island, who would it be? If you are very playful, you say the person
on the other side of the curtain. Normally, except that she doesn't know,
Bernadette. I don't know
who is on the other side of the curtain. That's the whole point of the game. Otherwise, you are spoiled for choice,
there are 200 people, I see lots of people
who I would go with There is a handsome man.
- I'm talking about you, you're a funny man. On a deserted island,
it is better to laugh than to be a handsome man, when there are more than two of us. In life in general,
who you would go with, except on this set? Anyone in particular? Just one person, for a week? With my daughter, but I won't
separate her from her children. Does she have children? Yes.
- Are you a grandmother? Yes.
- Would you go with your daughter? Yes.
- On a deserted island ? Yes.
- Unfortunately, with her little ones there, - No I can not
separate her from her children. It didn't help you much,
Can I give you a second clue? Yes.
- It's in the same place and someone will ask you
a second question. Bernadette, do you think the truth
comes out of the mouths of children? That's what they say, yes.
- Good question. Yes, they say that the truth
comes out of the mouths of children. This is not always true. Not always true, but still. It happened to you in your life
let the truth come out from the mouth of your daughter,
why not ? Yes, it happens. You think of something
especially ? No, there, I admit
that I am very intrigued. So, do you want
discover the face of this person who brought you from Avignon? Yes, because that’s what I came for. Look at these screens again. It's my daughter. I thought of her
and as she was my companion, I said to myself: “No, it’s not her.” Then the next question
that comes to your mind is: "What is my daughter
has something so important to say to me?" "So that she makes me come
on a television set this evening?" Yes, we talked about it,
then she played the game well. Do you want to know
what Sonia has to say to you this evening? Of course.
- Do you have a little idea? I believe.
- Are we listening to it? Yes.
- Sonia, it's yours. So there you go, I made you come
today for several reasons. You told me, when we were watching
the show many times, that you didn't see who could
come and say thank you or something else, even though it's so obvious. I came to say thank you. Our story began
a long time ago, June 17, 1998, when I was a little girl,
far from the woman that I am today thanks to you. After years of procedures
to have a child, you gave the chance
to this little girl to be your daughter and for all that, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for loving me from the start,
thank you for supporting me in all our trials, because adoption is not
a long quiet river, for parents and for children. You never let go of my hand. I would also like you to be proud,
proud of you, of the woman you are, proud of the mother that you are,
proud of the grandmother that you are, because you are absolutely everything
what I would like to be when I grow up as a woman
and for my children. You are absolutely unaware
of the inestimable value you have, and today I would like
that you become aware that you really are
a good woman, a wonderful mother. I would like to say thank you
and no words will ever be strong enough to tell you how much I love you. So. How are you Bernadette? She said something quite,
she told us too, she said: 'Mom has, I think,
a deficit in relation to one's own image." "Perhaps she doesn't value herself
at the level at which she should estimate herself." You heard that, like us,
in what she just said? You agree
with this analysis of your daughter? Yes, she is right.
- She's right ? Because I value
that I can always do better. I could still have
be more present for her. There are times, I say to myself: “There are things
that I didn't do well." "That I should have changed,
which I should have corrected." However, I am proud
of the woman she is. Somewhere,
I am proud of what I did, because this child
that I knew, that I saw happen, now she is an accomplished woman. She's a very good mother, and I'm very proud of her, very proud. She's a wonderful girl,
she calls me several times a day, she is very close to me. Also, in his professional life,
she loves her job, she does the job she wants. I am very proud of her and I adore her,
anyway, you see without realizing it, I said:
“On a desert island, it’s with her.” You raised
a little girl, remarkably, because he's someone we feel
extremely strong, extremely... Yes, and there is
lots of love between us. It shows. For you, it's...
- I love her very much, she's my daughter. It's your daughter
and we understood it well this evening, that's what she came for
also tell you is that, for her, you are her mother. Yes, it's true that what she told me,
there, she has already told me once or twice, but I told him: "Yes, it's okay, I'm your mother,
I didn’t do anything exceptional.” but there, the fact that she says it
in front of the whole of France, I mean, I think it's really
a huge proof of love towards me. I take it like that and it makes me
really good, it's wonderful. I could wish for that as any mother. Bernadette, I'm going to ask you
to stand up, facing the curtain. I don't think anyone in the audience,
Pascal, you will agree, do not doubt that this curtain
will open in a few seconds. It will open, obviously,
so that you can find your daughter, if you agree, of course,
but we don't doubt it for a moment. So, we open the curtain.
- Go for it. Ladies, you don't have the same blood, and yet, I find that there is a kind
incredible resemblance between you in the look, in the expressions,
and that's beautiful. Maybe just kindness?
- Yes. We too, we look alike,
we are handsome. Congratulations to you for taking this step.
- THANKS. Then, I think there are lots of people
who have heard your case, madam. Bravo, good evening, welcome back to Avignon.
- Bye. Come on, go back arm in arm,
by this you know the way. You saw it at the beginning of the show. Well, not really.
- Not yet, a little blurry, but it's a little
the surprise of this number of the show. We found the Sam from 20 years ago We found, 20 years later,
in the jungle where he lived, Sam, you know,
the historical Sam, our Sam, the one who took the witnesses
on the set with his famous gesture. Oh, Sam!
- Yes ? Well, there it is.
- But what... What a handsome man. Thank you Laurent,
You are both beautiful too. Sam, he's so talkative after all, and surprisingly,
that I'm going to ask you to get up. Should I get up now?
- Of course, you'll follow Sam. Sat ?
- No, Laurent, I'm not rushing him, I'll let you follow Sam. I am myself ?
- There you go, and the truth, you will see, is at the end of the hallway.
- Yes, that's true, thank you, Rebecca, thank you. We do it, there, yes,
and we're going to end it. I know that one. How are you ?
Welcome, I’m glad we’re meeting. How's your back?
- Hello Hello. The true, the unique, finally the unique, there's another one now. You have been replaced,
you will tell us about it later. How old are you ?
- 22 years old. You don't do them.
- I'll ask the liar again. How old are you ?
- 22 years old. All right.
- No, 40 years old. Happy ?
- Yes, it is the age of fulfillment, we are happy, life is beautiful. 40 years means
that you were barely 25 when the show ended.
- That's it. So, we are a little
stayed in touch, but the public didn't. Then the public didn't even know
really that you could speak so well. It's true,
so I know how to speak, I have to... So, Sam, it must be said
your story is incredible, because initially, few people knew it,
but in our show, you were one of the journalists, and we needed
from someone at the time to take the witnesses
from Rebecca's lodge to our plateau and we were looking for a real assistant,
a technician who will... with headphones, and we said to ourselves:
“Why not Sam?” You had
a cherub's head at the time. At the time?
- You were a little angel. Have I become a devil?
- No, but it's true. No it is true. Everyone told you that
and you spent five years with us. Didn't we bother you too much?
- Not at all, not at all, not at all. No, it was a real joy,
you're kidding ? These are wonderful memories. I had fun,
I was 18 when I started, it was the dream
and I'm happy to see you, it's sincere. It was completely unexpected.
that you play this role. Yes, it happened out of the blue. I remember I received
a phone call home, you called me, you told me:
“Come on, let’s see.” You saw me
and it was OK. We had forgotten
that you were talking about, but it's true. Sam, go ahead,
- The truth is at the end of the corridor. Good evening, Jean-Philippe. How are you ?
- Alright. Stand up,
please follow me. I shake your hand
and the truth is just down the hall. It's over here, on the left. You spoke on some shows.
- At the end, yes. Then we did
a few small shows together, television shows
where they tried to make me speak, but you are right,
it's the silent side that made all this buzz around the show
and for us, it was great. In the street, people,
in the evening, what did they say to you? In the evening, I never go there,
So I can't tell you that... In non-evening?
- Yes ? In non-evening, at evening dinners.
- No, they were adorable. They said: “Why the silence?”
- No, they didn't say that. but they were kind,
and that's the thing to remember. they come to see you,
It’s recognition, so thank you. Thank you to the public for... For all this love. What there is to know,
Ladies and gentlemen, it is that at the time,
it was more beautiful of the three of us, I put Rebecca aside,
it is a beautiful woman, but you were,
on another level than us, We were a bit...
- Talk for you. However, he had, I assure you,
many more letters at the time, not many emails, at first,
but from calls and letters from women, but we had to receive some
ten a week, and you, 1000. It's true.
- You had a fan club. Yes, be careful,
I have my wife in the lodge. It's from the past.
- There is a prescription. I'm kidding.
- No, but you had some. Yes, it was great,
that's what I said, full of love and I received
letters from women and men too, who told me they were happy
of what I was doing, it was recognition, happiness. How did you experience this brutal passage?
from anonymity to fame? Because you very quickly became
this iconic character from the show. You know,
I didn't realize it at the time. I really started
to appreciate these moments afterwards, because we really experienced it,
even you, we went through this adventure
of It's only the truth that counts, which was a huge success,
I had no idea of the notoriety that I could have had at the time,
you know that people still recognize me? Are you okay, did I defend myself well?
- Yes, it's not surprising. Yes, and we take photos.
- You will give me the address of the surgeon. Yes, we promise. What did you do
when did the show end? Afterwards, I did...
- We know that, but... I did theater. I didn't break into the theater,
but I had great adventures, I did some great tours in France,
in beautiful rooms, with... With a great theater man?
- Yes. Exactly, who accompanied me divinely
for a period and it was for me
the meeting of culture, literature,
which was my basic training. Are you an intellectual?
- Yes that's it, and so, I walked through the theater,
It was great, I had fun, then I started
to build my life as a man. Today I am director
of a luxury hotel. You can tell us
what city are you in? Yes.
- Plus, it's a beautiful city. Carcassonne.
- Carcassonne, the ramparts and everything. Yes, the medieval city.
- You run a Carcassonne hotel there. A luxury hotel?
- Yes, the most beautiful. Why did you say to yourself: "I'm going to go
in tourism, in the hotel industry"? Because at some point,
you build your life. Artistic professions,
actors, it can be fleeting, it can be a success,
but making a living from it is not easy. At one point I said to myself:
“My little one, go do what you love.” I have always loved tourism,
then being among customers is a show. It's pampering customers, This is what we are taught
in the hotel industry. Then there is
all the economic part that we learn, and now,
I manage this beautiful hotel. Which is not obvious,
These are questions we ask ourselves, people who make television,
This is when it stops, what do we do? Many do not have the capacity mentally to say to yourself:
“I’m going to do something else.” When it stops... We knew him for a few years,
we didn't complain about it. You had the psychological capacity to rebuild yourself very quickly
a new and different life. Yes, and I enjoy this job. Is that what you have the feeling
that it helped or harmed you, this notoriety,
when you wanted to reorient yourself? It's all in the head, I think,
it’s as we want to see it, but yes, the notoriety,
its not always easy, because people
can use it against you. It wasn't my case, I bounced back,
I was happy, I am still happy. As long as your boss doesn't tell you:
“Accounting is down the hall.” That's it, that's it. After that, he's going to tell me, right?
- This will be the joke of the coming week. Just for those
who look at us and who would think that you are not bad,
that you have aged well, what is your marital status? Don't write to say, "Sam..." I have, in the lodge...
- We saw you with your wife in Paris. We saw it earlier
behind the scenes she looks stunning. Magnificent, it's the most beautiful,
I greet her, I kiss her, I love her. Sam, I see there is
Sam and Rebecca who are over there. Come, two seconds friends,
we do that live, there. Of course.
- Look at. Sam, sit next to them.
- I put there, I'm not going to sit there. You are beautiful,
we would do well on television with you. What do you think of our new Sam?
- This man is very nice. Can he speak?
- No. You didn't put a microphone on him?
Come talk. Do you have any advice for him?
- Be happy, have fun, enjoy, because it's only happiness, it can be
a springboard also for the future, to be seen. Perfectly.
- Rebecca, what do you think? You did. It's strange, isn't it? For me, it's great,
this situation is incredible. That's right, you have two.
- Two Sam. No, but, I don't know anymore
what year it is, but everything is fine. You always have us in front of you. No, but I don't see you much.
- It is complicated. I rarely see you in my dressing room. Sam, it must be strange seeing him again?
- Yes and no... You were good friends back then.
- Yes. Was there an affinity?
- I'm going to Carcassonne. I pack my sutcase.
- You come. Do you have any invitations to bring?
- Full, that's good, over there, there's... The hair, you have nothing to say?
- No, nothing, lots of curls, I had the same ones.
- It's coming full circle. It passes with time. In any case,
it was a nice family photo that you gave us. It's a real surprise, above all, a nice surprise
for viewers, and I admit that it was
the nicest surprise of the day. Thanks to all three of you,
but especially to you, Sam, to have been present
on this set tonight. It made us very happy, and that's for sure,
also to the viewers, thank you. You come back whenever you want.
- Thank you, shared love. No, stay there. We hope you were happy
to follow this mission and find, 15 years later, the first Sam, even if the second is
quite wonderful too. Stick to the show,
have a good week. We'll see you very quickly on C8,
be happy, bye.
