Good evening !
- Good evening everyone ! How are you ? What a pleasure to see you again! What a pleasure to see you again!
- Good evening, Laurent. Good evening everyone ! Isn't it a pleasure to see me again?
- If. You didn't even answer.
- I was with you two minutes ago. I'm stupid ! Are we going to find Rebecca too?
- Yes. We will greet our spectators anyway,
Thank you for your loyalty. We will reestablish contact
with Rebecca's lodge, Eh yes ! who is still there, are you okay?
- Alright. Who are you with ?
- I am very well supported, Allison accepted the invitation,
and there she is. Good evening Allison.
- Good evening. Are you okay, stressed, Allison?
- A little bit. Do you know our show?
- Yes. Do you know Pascal and me?
- Yes too. You like the show,
are you happy to be here? You have the right to say no.
- Yes, very happy, but stressed. Any idea who is inviting you? A little bit, I think.
- We'll let you talk with Rebecca who won't tell you anything,
because she has no right. We're going to hermetically close the lodge
so Allison doesn't hear Okay, is it closed? The lodge is securely closed.
- Thank you Frank. Who invited Allison tonight
on our set? A lady for whom
It’s a very important evening. Three years since she last saw Allison, her name is Christelle,
Ladies and gentlemen. Good evening how are you ?
- Yes I'm allright thanks. Good evening, sit down there.
How is Christelle doing? Oh, super stressed.
- Super stressed. We are here, we are reassuring,
the public is friendly. You know the show,
there are some pretty good vibes here. Generally, we do everything
to open the curtain. This is important to you tonight. You called us to say
that it's been three years that you no longer speak to your daughter, that we just saw in the dressing room with Rebecca. Allison happens to be the mother of a-- Grandson, Louis is six years old today. Who you haven't seen in three years.
- We no longer share anything. What makes, all of a sudden,
a rather nice mother, you have been, we will see in a subject,
very close with her as a child? Why, three years ago,
this disaster happened that you don't see her anymore
overnight? This catastrophe, quite simply,
It's Christmas Day, this December 25, 2020,
where an argument broke out. The day of Christmas ?
-The morning. Everyone together as a family? We had just gotten up in the morning,
quite simply his spouse, we weren't very close, let's say.
- You are not on very good terms? No, I'll be honest,
I didn't like him. Because I understood,
once my daughter introduced it to me and once
that I saw him again under his roof, that my daughter was no longer bursting with joy
like when she first knew him. It was a few months ago,
and I saw that there were things not very kind to my grandson. Isn't that Louis' dad? No.
- Your daughter's new companion? Yes that's it. Who is she still with today?
- I don't know. You still don't know.
- For three years, I have nothing. A shouting match,
how did it happen, because of what? A dog.
- For what ? He brought his children back
on Christmas Day to his ex-partner, but he did not take the dog back. It's confinement in 2020. The day before,
we had a New Year’s Eve party for 17 people, so you have to air the house the next day,
we received people at noon. We ventilate and the dog,
he went in the wrong direction, as he returned. It happens that I don't understand,
so I'm asking you some questions. Is this boy coming with his dog? The dog came with the children
for New Year's Eve. Because he has children?
- Two. The children bring their dogs.
- Yes. They come with their dog. You open the windows to ventilate,
and the dog, bye bye? Bye bye, he's going to the sidewalk.
- Had we found him? Yes, but it's the road.
- He is dead ? No, he just grumbled,
but instead of being after the dog, he grumbled at my daughter.
- Why the windows? Anything,
the dog ran away. It's not even grumbled,
it's yelling at him. I did not accept, because the day before, he had spoken very badly to my grandson,
he didn't know I heard it. Was that the last straw for you?
- The water drop. What happened ?
- I put down my broom, and I told him: stop,
don't talk to my daughter like that, you stop. There, it went into a tailspin.
- There, things went into a tailspin. There, your daughter took whose side?
- From no one, she remained neutral. Not a word ?
- Not a word. She didn't try to separate you?
- No. It was verbal between him and me. As I was at his house,
we were at his house, he said to me: “It’s my home,
I do what I want," "so this is my home,
You take your things and get out.” Were you sweeping?
- Yes, to receive guests at midday, I got up,
no lunch, in pajamas. I started cleaning straight away
to hurry, noon was very close. I packed my bags,
he brought his dog. I said goodbye to my daughter
telling him to watch out for them. The little one came down, It's complicated for me, sorry! He complemented me
asked: “Where are you going, grandma?” I simply replied
that I was leaving, I had to work. I took my things and left
in my Vosges in my pajamas. Excuse me for asking you this question,
but you were married to… No, I was alone at that time,
Single. You are alone, you are coming
at your daughter's house with her boyfriend. There are children,
everyone. It's going very badly,
you take the car and leave. I'm told to leave,
no need to repeat. She called you
to tell you to come back? Especially since I had
an accident on the road. Starting ?
- Yes, the closer I got to my Vosges, The snow has arrived,
and I was not equipped, so I had an accident, a person who sent a message
to explain the accident to him. It never moved.
- She did not come ? No,
I never heard from him again. How do you explain that?
on what terms were you with her? She and I were very close. At 19, it still happened to us
to sleep together. As mother and daughter,
we made doggies. She liked the scratches.
I did all that, very close-knit. I always said if I lose it,
It’s my life that’s falling apart. With Louis' dad,
was it going well? Let's say we were a bit like cats and dogs,
but overall it was going well. This story of a mother and a daughter
who were fusional with this little boy
that really matters to you. You have tears in your eyes
as soon as you say his first name. We tried to trace it in pictures. Three years
that they didn't see each other, look. Christelle is a mother
with a heavy heart, because for three years,
no more contact with his daughter Allison. This situation,
she can't stand it anymore. Christelle has, however, always been
close to her. During his childhood,
she was a present, attentive mother. When Allison became an adult, his mother always had
a place in his life. At the birth of his grandson Louis,
she was the happiest in the world. Her whole world fell apart
three years ago during a Christmas meal. During this evening, she is happy
with his daughter and grandson, even if she has no affinities
with his son-in-law. During the festivities,
they stood aside a little. The day after New Year's Eve, an argument breaks out
between her and her son-in-law, who asks him to leave,
Christelle says goodbye to Allison. She kisses her grandson without realizing that it's the last time. Since that day,
Allison never contacted her mother again. Christelle no longer has the heart
to celebrate Christmas alone, without the people who are dear to him. Time passes,
absence becomes more painful for this mom
who decided to appeal to Only the truth that counts,
hoping to re-establish a link, but did Allison definitely
closed his door and his heart? We will know in a moment, Christelle,
you don't even have him on the phone, little Louis sometimes?
- No. Never ? Have you ever tried to call?
- If. She doesn't answer you?
- No, only once, she answered me. What did she tell you?
- It went very badly. That's to say ?
- This contact we had on the phone, I wanted us to talk. She explained to me that I had to stop
to live in the past, but I wasn't looking
to live like this. Afterwards, the past is the past. We also need it to move forward, so as not to always reproduce
the same errors. Above all, I didn't want
that they reproduce all the errors I may have had,
not the same route. I have always protected my daughter,
she is everything for me. I can understand her being angry,
that she has doubts too. Do you think
that she perhaps blames you for for being too intrusive in her life? Yes maybe,
but not in a bad way. I was more into protection. That she avoids unhealthy men
like me, I was able to meet. That's your point of view.
- Yes that's it. You know how much
large parents. I think that you,
at home this evening, you know it. We can say things to our children,
especially since they are adults, and they don't have at all
want to hear. Not all truths are good to tell
when we talk, especially about spouses of his daughters or sons,
even if we don't have a great affinity with these people coming back
in the family, these attached parts
matter in the hearts of our children. It's complicated to say:
'"He's not the man of her life," “he’s a bad boy for you.” This is not what we want
when we are in love. They don't want to hear,
but she wanted, because when she met someone,
she always needed my opinion. This person she met
was introduced to me, because she had said well that if she introduces him to her mother,
It's not nothing, so he knew where he was going. You don't know today
if they are still together? I found out later, but through
of a family member. The answer is yes ? Maybe after three months,
that she was no longer with this person. That I understand well, she is not with Louis' dad,
It's certain. She is no longer with the man
from three years ago. A priori, she is alone today.
- I don't know. You do not know. You are in relationship
with Allison's dad? I tried
so that he could try to reason with her a little. It didn't do anything.
- There is no explanation, or he doesn't tell you
Is it because of this or that? No, he doesn't see anything,
he doesn't hear anything, he doesn't get involved. He doesn't want to get involved in this conflict.
- He sees, but he doesn't get involved. Do you think today
that it is up to you to ask him for forgiveness? What approach,
precisely, you want? First of all, ask him for forgiveness
if I did things wrong that day. It cost our separation. What I would like,
it's that she opens this curtain so that we can regain the family bond. Three years without speaking to you,
three years without speaking to his mother. Plus, she blocked me.
- Ghosted! Ghosted. This ghost, I changed my number,
because I am tenacious, I said it could be one,
two, three, 10, 20, 50 times of number, I will not let go of the matter.
- She never took you on the phone. Just once.
- That went badly. Before going to find Allison
on the other side of this plateau. I have a question, if she leaves the curtain closed,
you told us earlier that you were determined,
and that you would not give up. When you have your answer,
will you mourn or continue? Yes, because I'm tired,
and if I got there today, This is my last card, for me. Afterwards, I stop,
I will let her, it's her choice. I will respect anyway,
but, as they say, one day there is a grandson in the middle, he will ask for accounts,
and one day he might come to me. We're going to leave you, are you ready?
- We will try. We will, as often, do
as best we can. See you later, Christelle,
we're going to close the curtain, please in management, thank you very much,
in order to be able to establish the connection with Rebecca's dressing room
who is still with Allison. Always,
and now we talked about relaxation, meditation,
absolutely no rag. I think Allison is almost relaxed,
I'm going to ask you to stand up. You will follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. THANKS. Good evening and welcome, Allison.
- Good evening, this is Laurent. Are you doing well ?
- How are you. You know the show,
Did I ask a question earlier? You told us
that you have an idea of the person
which is a few meters from you, just behind the curtain.
- Small, not sure. Not sure.
- A woman ? A woman,
I think of my mom. Why your mother?
- Because it's been a while now that we no longer speak to each other,
we do not see each other anymore. You think it could
be her, tonight, who took this step
to try to reestablish contact. An ex ?
- I do not think so. A love reconquest?
- My companion would not be happy about it. Are you with him?
- Yes. A clue perhaps, Pascal, no?
- I was going to suggest, Allison, if she wanted to show a clue
in the screens above, look. Would you rather go back in time
or see the future? The future. Would you prefer?
- Yes. Rehash the past, go back.
- You're not interested? No.
- Sometimes, it avoids making mistakes, to look at the past a little.
-Yes, but the future is much better. Does that help you?
- I don't know. Maybe an ex,
and your current companion not going to be happy.
- No, that's for sure. Maybe your banker. No, he should be happy right now.
- Have you seen your account recently? Yes, I am fine.
- We're trying to relax you a little. Are you ready to discover the face
Who invited you tonight, Allison? Yes. Stare at his screens,
Franck Broqua will make his face appear. I knew it. I knew it would be you. This confirms your first choice.
- That's it. Since when
you haven't seen your mom? Really saw,
no contact, etc. ? Three years. It's rare to spend three years without a mother,
especially when you are a young mother. You have a difficult childhood,
Was she horrible in your childhood? It was a complicated childhood,
or were you very close? I was close to my mother at the same time,
but it was also very complicated. Say… there are things that I have experienced
and that I should not have. Arrive at a certain time,
I had the role of mother more than daughter. It was very much inverted. Are you excited to see her this evening?
- Yes it's obvious. Do you want to know
what did she come to say? Yes. Hello my daughter! I don't know if I call you Allison,
Lilie or Poupoune, or as you want,
but you are my baby, you are my daughter,
I miss you a lot. Three years ago, on Christmas Day,
everything went up in smoke, for something stupid,
It's certain. I beg your pardon,
because I wasn't very cool either, I recognize him, but there are things
which I did not accept. that I could no longer,
I saw and heard things. You are my whole life, so hurt you,
I can't imagine it, to speak badly to you,
I can't imagine it, to speak badly to Louis,
I can't imagine it, so I let myself be carried away,
because I have received this since the day before. I let myself be carried away
by this overflow, of this dog. I saw that you were unhappy,
that day it happened, where I heard a sentence,
That was one sentence too many. I said, “Stop!” You don't talk to my daughter like that. That's why I invite you today,
it's asking you for forgiveness, to resume our lives
of family, where it left off. I miss you, I need you. Since that day, I have not lived. Not a day goes by
without me thinking about you. There's always something
which makes me think of you, that I think of the little one,
and I suffer greatly from it. Then, you know
that I have health problems? I have a problem
with this thyroid story, so I have a new treatment
which ends up stabilizing me, but I have no guarantee
let it always be at short notice. That's random,
so it creates mood swings for me, and all that, I don't control it,
I am unhappy about it myself. Today, everything is stabilized. This too, it is necessary
let you hear it Allison. I'm doing very well. I rebuilt my life too. I no longer live in the Vosges,
and everything is fine. Everything is fine. I've found
someone wonderful too. I hope that you too, you have someone in your life,
that everything is fine, and that the little one is fine. In any case, you are beautiful,
You know ? You know ? You are my daughter, it's normal,
like Mother like daughter. I'm going to be 56, Allison. Time moves forward. We must not stop at stupidities,
you shouldn't. Christelle!
- Yes. Allison, with great consistency,
she is two meters from us, didn't show much. At some point when I saw you, I look at you
while listening. I saw you a slight smile,
paradoxically, when your mother said: "I no longer live in the Vosges,
I found a new companion," "I'm having the dream of my life." There you have a little moment, you remained rather impassive,
with a little smile on his lips. For what ?
- It makes me feel good to hear it, It is a pleasure, it is all I have
always wanted for her, that she finds someone good,
that it is finally put down, let her be happy,
I am only asking for that. See my mother happy,
I only asked for that. Do you remember this Christmas?
- Yes. From this day, not cool?
- Not cool at all. Not cool at all?
- No. You saw your mother thrown out,
in inverted commas, by your spouse at the time, at his home. Scolded, he felt
that he no longer had to receive it. You didn't react at that time,
your mother told us. No, because this person,
I let myself eat, as the saying goes. I couldn't make the choice between my mother
or my companion at that time. These are not easy choices. For three years, if we understand correctly, you are no longer,
since a while, with this person. You have
a new companion in your life which seems to make you very happy, because you have
looking happy and fulfilled. You could have reconnected
with your mom. It's true. It was not the moment. Then, I'm stubborn, so it's complicated. You seem to have
both beautiful characters. Allison, we've prepared you for this moment,
that it will be important to you. You were sure it was her,
so I imagine... you know what decision to make,
if it's your mother. More or less, I was waiting for what she was going to tell me. It was important for you to know at what point,
she regretted certain things, to what extent she recognized
his tors? That's it. Do you think she is at fault?
- Yes. Before or in relation to this story
from three years ago, this Christmas where things went wrong?
- Before. From before?
- Also. I won't intrude into your life again. Your life is your life. Too intrusive, mom?
- Yes. You asked him for advice,
whether it is intrusive or not? I could ask him for advice
when I felt the need, but there are things
that I was capable of doing alone. Not at the echo, when you were pregnant,
you needed mom. Yes thanks.
- It was nothing. You are happy ?
- Yes. We will ask you
to get up, Allison. There, you think she looked. On the other side of this curtain,
Christelle invites you. It's your mom,
not seen for three years, she wants to reestablish her ties with you,
with your son Louis. You apparently had very little
intention to reestablish this contact, since you don't answer anything
for three years or so. Will this evening,
do you want to open the curtain? I want to open it. Go ahead, find your mom. I found my daughter. You are too Beautiful my darling, Sorry, my daughter. You two are very beautiful.
- Mom makes an effort to be elegant. She took out her vest
and its rather old top. How beautiful you are! Is there a little Louis
who will be happy too to find his grandmother, anyway?
- I think yes. Be happy, open your hearts
and leave arm in arm. You will find your grandson... You are welcome. Thank you so much.
- Hello, Allison. Hold each other's arms
and head back that way, the two of you. This way. We will reestablish the connection
with Rebecca's lodge. For a new story, Pascal. Rebecca, does
Are you accompanied? Yes, I am very well supported
and Justine accepted the invitation. Good evening Justine.
- Good evening. How are you Justine?
- Stressed. Justine thinks it's easier
to watch than to be on the show. Do you like watching it?
- Yes. Do you especially like Laurent or me?
- Both. Don't answer
because ma'am, she's going to kill me. Above all, Rebecca is right. You will love being there, you will see.
- I hope. You know who comes to tell you
something today? A little idea.
- Good idea, bad idea? Good idea.
- Good idea ? It depends on the circumstances. In any case, we leave you all the
two chatting quietly. Try to know
whether your idea is the right one or not. but Rebecca will say nothing,
as per usual. We, Laurent,
we will welcome the person who invites Justine.
- Is the lodge hermetically closed? I ask our director that.
- Totally closed. We are going to receive on this plateau,
ladies and gentlemen, Stephen. Good morning.
- Hi Stephen. Good evening, Stephen, sit down. How are you Stephen?
- Stress. Stress ? Why are you stressed?
Being on TV, and find you there,
or the fact of… We know why you're here. To be in front of you?
- Yes. It's stressful,
look at it and be in it, It is not the same. We come, exactly,
to hear that in Rebecca's dressing room, from the mouth of a very important girl,
because you are coming to win her back this evening. That's it ?
- Quite. The stress will go away, you will see,
speak loudly, be calm and serene. You are in a field
very friendly here. What are you doing ?
- Driver operator in sanitation. What does driver operator mean?
- I do everything that is unblocking, pipe cleaning,
septic tank, industrial cleaning. Essential professions?
- Quite. It's not like yours.
- I don't do much, myself. We're not of much use.
- We need it. We try to unblock situations,
That’s kind of the idea. We would like it, because we have a situation
to unlock with you, Stephen. It turns out that
that you were very much in love of the young woman we have just seen,
Justine, who is very pretty. How long,
how is it ? Tell us a little. It was two years ago
thanks to a mutual friend. Basically, I just went there to eat. I was just going to a friend's house to eat,
and she has been there. Like that, by chance.
- By chance. Did you ate well at least?
- Yes, we ate well. During the evening,
like this, between the starter and the main course, you said to yourself:
“Here, this guest.” That's it. It was almost that,
I was hooked straight away, it stuck.
- Thunderbolt ? Not immediately, I prefer to say
that I became attached to her. It was mutual. It was mutual,
but no longer on his side, it was love at first sight
right away. Oh yes ?
- Yes Your story started quickly. Everything was going fine,
you were swimming in happiness. Then, all of a sudden,
things didn't exactly work out as you would have liked,
that's it ? It was all my fault,
It's stupid to say, but I was blocked about my past relationship. The classic. That's it. The fear of moving forward,
the fear of taking a new route, a new story,
and it blocked me completely. I was blocked.
-To prepare for this mission, you have been
very honest with our teams. You said in particular
that you were extremely impulsive, jealous, and that you made him suffer
sometimes things which weren't cool.
- That's it. Gender ?
- She accepted things, as I spoke to my ex,
she accepted it, things she wouldn't have
should not have accepted. For example ?
- We talked every day. With your ex?
- Yes. You were no longer with her,
but every day you talked to each other. Are you not starting anything again?
- No. Yet you were talking to each other?
- Yes. We have a bond. I had a complicity
with my ex who was very strong, so I had a hard time cutting
this way of being with her. How do you do it?
when Justine says: “Your ex, at some point,
you have to close the curtain", “move on, you’re with me.”
- Nothing. You didn't react?
- No. It took the separation for me to react. It was Justine who decided,
that everything was going well, and that bye bye, Stephen, is that it?
- No. No, is that you?
- I left by dint of taking my head,
I got fed up and preferred to leave. I ran away from reality. I ran away from the fact
that I really cared about her, and the fear of a new story. You separated on your own initiative, but you quickly regretted it?
- Right away. You got back together,
but it doesn't go as well. No, I tried so hard
to win her back. It seems that you went to see a psychologist?
- Yes, I went to see a psychologist for my character,
because I had work on myself to do. I had to do it. Just after the separation,
after you leave? After I realize
that I cared about her. There you came back together,
why is it not going well? When we got together,
the first time, she's adorable. Justine is a pleasant woman,
and someone who is very tactile. All his side
tactile, cuddly, playful has disappeared. Gender ?
- If I don't come to her, she doesn't come to me. If I don't come and give him a hug,
she won't. Without going into your private life,
but that means that you no longer have at all
the same marital relations, in love, like before, right?
- Yes. It is always on your initiative,
she never shows herself tender, affectionate, loving.
- Before Yes. You have the impression
that she makes you pay somewhere or that she is simply
less attracted to you? I don't know,
the separation broke something. That's what she told me,
it broke something, but I think that if we really love each other,
it can only work again. With the efforts that I can provide,
let it be a work on me, I found a sport
which allows me to calm down, to channel myself. What sport is it?
- Boxing is channeling. Very nice sport. Then, I made a lot of effort,
my tattoo that I removed. What was on it?
- The first name of his ex. That's it.
- Where was the tattoo? On the calf.
- What did this tattoo say? It was his first name.
- To her ? No, my ex. Seriously, it was really
your ex's first name. I was joking.
- I thought you knew. That was really it. Did you have it removed? I took it out to prove to him
that I was ready to move forward. Also what an idea to get a tattoo
his girlfriend's first name or his current boyfriend! One day it poses a problem.
- Yes. What was your ex's name?
- Married. Did you have a big Marie on your calf?
- That's it. In the bathroom,
she saw the other's first name: Marie, Marie, it was flashing. It sure can be annoying.
- Not just in the bathroom. It's something
that I should have done long before, because even when we were walking,
on the beach, I'm in shorts, we only saw that,
and her name is not Marie. You could get a tattoo
on the calf, my first name. Honestly, I thought about it,
but it's expensive, there are lots of letters. A day when you do it again
another animation duo with another,
he makes you withdraw my first name. I'm afraid of being in pain.
- My poor darling ! It hurts.
- Oh yes, it hurts, but when we love,
you have to know how to suffer. What are you going to tell him
so that you reverse the trend? I had prepared,
but I prefer to speak from the heart. It's something that's more important
than having written on a piece of paper. Tell her already that I care about her,
That I like. She's more than my companion,
I consider her my wife. Real plans, having children. Do you want to get married ?
- No children. For what ?
- Afterwards, it becomes things like that. Why, no children?
- We have too many. She has two,
and I have one. This whole blended family
live together or see each other? We live with the two boys, his own. my daughter every other weekend,
and vacations. It goes well ?
- It is going very well. My daughter loves Justine
who is a love with her, so I have nothing to say.
- How, with Justine’s children? At the beginning, it wasn't easy. Are they little guys?
- Yes. It's part
small conflicts with Justine? Yes, especially with the first one.
- The classic. How old is he ?
- He is seven years old. The age when we don't like to see too much
a new man in mom's life. It's never easy
when you're a child to accept all that. Is it good now? Now, very well,
I try a lot of activities. The activities he likes,
not necessarily the ones I like. It's true that we're going to the swimming pool,
we're going to buy a bike So he can
cycle with me again. It goes well.
- Boxing with you. He does not want.
- He does not want ? He's not that violent. A very calm child.
- You called us, obviously, we don't have a magic wand,
what you are asking Justine this evening, is to resume
especially intimate relationships, a little more frequent,
diligent, strong too. We don't know how to do it, because in truth,
it's complicated to recreate desire in a woman who tells you:
“I want you less or more.” It's often mission impossible.
- Complicated. How to do,
how to recreate desire in someone who moved on,
who is less in this intimate presence? Show him that in the end,
it hasn't changed. Showing him that my change is here
and will stay there, and that I love him more than anything in the world.
- Let's be clear, Stephen, tonight you came
for downright issue some form of ultimatum
to Justice, in quotes, saying that we love each other like before and you become again the woman I loved,
close to me. So let's stop our story.
- That's it. Because I don't see myself continuing
in this way. In between.
- A couple is two people, not alone. Right now I feel like
to fight alone, and I can't. You are ready to accept the idea
that she leaves the curtain closed, and in this case,
you will respect your ultimatum. That means you will leave Justine? I do not have a choice,
because I need to move forward too. We're both at an age
where we need to move forward, so I'm going there. The question I'm going to ask is:
why do you think that pass here, to Only the truth that counts
will Justine unlock somewhere? When we separated,
I had a strong impact who told me she was the one I wanted. She really likes
Only the truth matters, and I would like to create it
an impact which means that, in front of the whole of France and the World
That I like and not just in front of a few people.
- Do you want to create a click? A trigger that she said to herself: “He loves me.”
- We wish with all our hearts, obviously, let this curtain open presently.
We're going to leave you for a few seconds, moments,
time to welcome Justine. Good luck,
Don't say anything without permission. You know the principle.
- We're going to let the curtain close before reestablishing the connection
with Rebecca's lodge, who is still with Justine. Justine
Is she a little more relaxed? She is always there,
she didn't leave. This time,
you don't scare them away. We said it to each other. Justine,
I'm going to ask you to stand up. You will follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. THANKS. Good evening Justine. Are you doing well ?
- Alright. This is Laurent. Good evening Justine.
- Good evening. Are you okay, Justine?
- Stressed. You have beautiful eyes.
- Thank you so much. How are you ?
- Yes. Less stressed than earlier.
- Not quite. Yes, a little stuck like that?
- That's it. You like the show, you know it,
you look at it, I imagine. Are we more beautiful in real life or on TV?
- In truth. You told us you had an idea
who invited you in Rebecca's dressing room,
Who do you think of, a man, a woman? To a man.
- To a man? A man you know well,
an ex, a childhood friend? No way.
- A man I know well. Who is your man?
- Yes. You think he's your mate.
- Yes. Oh yes ?
-Mmm. When you have such a big doubt,
and we know the person well, you need to call him
or see him and say: “Is that you?” Yes.
- SO ? Every day.
- Every day. He said what ? It wasn't him.
- It's not him then. If he's your man?
- Maybe it's not him either. Maybe not him
we will see with the clues, If it's your man, it's good or bad
that you are here with us today? Okay, but it depends on the circumstances.
- It depends to tell you what? No doubt about that, either? No, I know what I want or not. If it's not him, because you know we have plenty
of possible cases in this show. It can be reconciliations, someone you haven't seen
since a long time. It could be an ex
who wants to win you back. No. A love declaration,
an office colleague. What field do you work in ?
- I am a caregiver. A patient who fell in love?
- They are 80, 90 years old. It might be complicated.
- There is no age-- At 90 years old, sometimes, passion.
- There is no age to love. Do you want a hint Justine?
- I don't mind. Look,
someone will ask you a question. Justine, when you undertake something,
are you doing it 100 percent? Yes.
- You look 100% determined. When you make a decision,
For example, when you are with someone,
you are 100%. When you have new friends,
you are 100% in the friendly story. Do you have children?
- Yes, two boys. What ages?
- Mel who will be eight years old and Lenny who will be three years old.
- From a previous union? Quite.
- Do you want a second clue? Please.
- Look. Justine, do you come back easily
on your decision? Yes, it depends on which one.
- For example ? For example, on marriage,
I am determined. I do not want to get married.
- For what ? Marriage is cool.
- To divorce in six months, no. Have you ever been married?
- Divorcing in six months is positive. Never been married?
- No. Nor with your boys' dad.
- No. Even if you really meet
the love of your life. Someone who tells you:
"I want to be your man", “I want you to be his wife.”
- No. Is it definitive?
- Definitive. The sugared almonds, the white dress, what the heck?
- What a shame. Wedding night ?
- Neither. Do I suggest to you, Justine,
to put an end to this torture, and look through the screens
who are on the other side of the curtain. I agree.
- Here we go. I was doubting myself. This is not a 90 year old patient.
- No. We can say that it is well preserved.
- Yes. Do you know who it is?
- Yes. Stephen?
- That's it. Happy to see him?
- Yes. Do you want to hear
what Stephen came to tell you? If he brings you here to Only the truth that counts,
this is not trivial. It's for a very important thing
which is close to his heart. Are we listening to him?
- Yes. Stephen, Justine is listening to you.
- Hello my love ! Call me Laurent. I assure you, I'm not here tonight
to ask you to marriage. Otherwise, I know
that the curtain would have remained closed. I am here to tell you first of all,
in front of the whole of France, that you are an extraordinary woman. Laurent is right,
You have beautiful eyes, you are extraordinarily beautiful. I love you more than anything.
I'm here to prove it to you in front, the whole of France, in front of the public. You are an adorable, remarkable woman. When we got together,
two years ago, it was too fast. I think we had just broken up
and both of us were too hasty. You fell madly in love
from me from the start, the thing I didn't know how to do, which I regret very much
todays time. I should have, from the start,
prove that I cared about you. I should have especially shown it
to everybody, but I should have proven it to myself
to myself, already, from the start. Like the tattoo, you know,
From the start, I should have removed it. I waited for us to separate
to remove it, it's a shame. I should have made the effort before,
because we separated because of me. I left after having lived
extraordinary moments with you, trips, weekends
improvised and not improvised, times when I was hard,
you accepted a lot of things. I regret very much
to have been like that. Today we broke up. I realized
that's what I needed to realize
that I love you very much, what future,
it's with you and no one else. I really want to grow old by your side, because you are really
an extraordinary woman. For me you are sweet, cold and harsh character
anyway, we're not going to lie to each other, but since we got back together,
you accepted that I come back. I miss you, not by your presence, but by your way of being, your character. I have the impression
that we swapped roles. Today,
I would like to know where we are. You are there, just physically,
mentally, you're not there. I need
of your tenderness, of your delicacy like the very first day. You are a very tactile woman,
and today, you are no longer there at all. I'm here to give you an impact,
like me, I had when we separated. I think nothing is lost,
everything is possible with will. I have will
to bring you to this set to tell you that I love you. My question is very simple,
I would like you to make the effort again, that you give 100 percent, that you stop talking
to a specific person, or we either stop,
because I can't continue like this. I have a future and I see it with you
and with no one else. I love you my heart. Beautiful.
- Nice statement. Like always,
because it's almost-- The declarations?
- Yes. I am romantic. Like always,
like in Dalida's song? "Words, words, words,"
kind, as always, words. As always, in the first sense, he always made me
Very nice statements, right? You expected this,
the declaration, you know it, but we also heard-- I find that you don't do it to me often
statements like that. Stephen, I still say bravo to you, because it came out,
there was heart, we can feel it. It was really sincere,
It’s deep, it’s pretty, well done. It's not like that every day.
- He seems sure of himself, the boy. At least these feelings. What we heard, then the public too,
there is a declaration of love, then a form of ultimatum,
I don't really like this word, but there is a little side
also, still... We heard: "You are moving away,
you are there physically," "but mentally, you are not there,
you are less and less close to me.” “It’s me who’s coming to you.” Do you also hear the truth
in that part of his speech? Yes he is right. Do you feel less close to him?
- Yes. For what ? He hurt me for two years,
so I suffered. There were times
where we were very happy, but there were times when I suffered. You were hurt,
but you accepted that he would come back, because you wanted to give yourself
to both of you a second chance? I thought I was going
succeed in overcoming. What we all hear there,
from Stephen: “We gave ourselves a second chance,
I seem to be the only one doing it.” Is he somewhat right or not?
- Quite. It's true that I'm moving away
more and more. We know that desire,
it's not something which is created spontaneously, and who returns as quickly as he left. That means you still measure the challenge and the effort it requires of you. He doesn't ask you
to be nicer that everything goes well, because he already finds you
extremely friendly at home. He said you were
a wonderful mother-in-law with her daughter. so there is a blended family aspect,
where everything goes well, God knows it's important,
when we are a couple. There he is talking about something
which is of the intimate order. What can you answer him
to reassure him about that? I will make efforts,
but it will take time. For love, I will wait. Not two years, but...
- I hope not. Otherwise, we do
Only the truth counts in ten years. That's it.
- We can make an appointment in 10 years. I will still be with her. Are you affected by this approach?
- Touched, yes. We really feel that you are holding back.
- However, no surprise. More of a compliment when you say that.
- Yes. The history of tattoos is crazy.
it's a classic in a couple. Are you tattooed?
- In the lower back. Whose first name?
- Belongs to nobody. Belongs to nobody.
- No never. What does that represent?
- A sun. A sun ?
- Yes. The sun is okay. Were you obsessed with his tattoo?
- In summer, with shorts, yes. It was starting to feel like a lot.
- Yes. He removed the tattoo,
but he is still there. It is deleted, we no longer see the first name, but in my head, I still have the first name.
- In my heart, he is no longer there. Would you like him to put Justine there?
- Neither. Stephen, I didn't quite understand
when you tell him: “You should have less someone
on the phone, less present in his life." Can you say more or not?
- No. Enough to make him jealous?
- Yes. Why are you continuing the relationship? You ask him for effort,
the tattoo, the shrink, he changes sports. As he says,
it seems like we have reversed the roles. Oh yes ?
- Mmm. It is much gentler,
calmer, more tactile. I became hard, cold, withdrawn. I will try to make an effort,
and change for us, for kids, and I hope
that you will never go back to the way you were before. I can't go back to the way I was before,
with the love I have for you. There is just the ultimatum
that I wouldn't get over it. You know. When opening the curtain, be sure, because I love you
and I can't see myself without you. Things are said clearly
by Stephen, with much love, but at the same time,
with a lot of determination. The decision is yours,
I'm going to ask you to get up, as is the tradition of the show,
facing the curtain. Stephen, at once, made you
a beautiful declaration of love, but you issue an ultimatum. It's about making the effort you need
so that your relationship works again 100%, like him,
he's been doing it for several months already. If you cannot make these efforts, we of course heard that there was also
end certain relationships which we will not discuss further here. In any case, you know, both of them,
what is it about. He said if this curtain opened, it was also the promise for you,
guaranteed to satisfy him on this point. You can leave the curtain closed. That won't stop you
to meet you at home this evening. Afterwards, your life,
you will do with it what you want. If you open it, you access
at Stephen's request. What do you decide? I open the curtain. We could not
hope for a better outcome. Afterwards, it's up to you to put it all
in music every day, what happened on that set
is translated into reality, and may your relationship last forever
as you wanted. I already use it every day.
- With the three children? There will be no others.
- No. Too bad, we could have been the godfathers.
- There will be no wedding either. We wish you lots of happiness.
- You make a very nice couple. You seem very in love
one of the other. See you both soon, lovers!
- THANKS. Kiss the children for us.
- Arm in arm, arm in arm... A new Pascal story.
- With great happiness, we're going to open Rebecca's dressing room. We're going to meet our friend Rebecca. Who are you with in your dressing room,
dear Rebecca? I am with Father Christophe
who accepted the invitation. Good evening Rebecca.
- Good evening. Thanks for your invitation.
- You are welcome. Good evening, we are calling you
Christophe or Father Christophe? Often, we say Father Christophe,
but as you wish. We will call you Father Christophe,
with great pleasure. It's not every day
that we are receiving a clergyman here. Do you have an idea,
do you know the show? I admit that I discovered it
at the same time as Rebecca's invitation. Do you have any idea of the person who brings you over this evening
on this set? The idea works for me
since I received the invitation. I have some ideas,
but I have the grace to have a job where we see a lot of people passing by who I live with
quite wonderful things, so I will have several candidates in mind. We'll leave you with Rebecca
discuss these possibilities. She won't tell you anyway,
even under the secrecy of confession, who it is. We are going to close the connection with the lodge, the weather
to find out who's invited tonight. who took this astonishing step,
but nice step, to invite Father Christophe here. A young man who had and has a life,
like, I can't imagine, none of you here could have. His name is Jamiu,
Ladies and gentlemen. Good evening Jamiu, a little stressed?
- How are you. Good evening, welcome, take a seat. Nice to welcome you Jamiu. How are you ?
- How are you. You are taking a very important step
for you tonight. The person we just saw,
who is a priest, Father Christophe. Someone you know well,
who played a role very important in your life.
- Yes. A life that was not easy. You were born in Africa, in a beautiful country, Nigeria. As we know, it is a country crossed by numerous conflicts,
by many problems. When you were a child, You have lived
the disappearance of your parents. Absolutely, in Nigeria, it was very complicated for me, after the assassination of my parents, because I was like a child, same for everyone. In my head,
I was torn from my family, my heart was broken, and everything that belongs to me was taken from me. How did you have to leave Nigeria? How did you leave Nigeria? How we took you out of Nigeria,
you and your sister? I was protected by my dad's lawyer who today also betrayed us. His commitments and his words
didn't mean anything. Were these empty words?
- Yes, at the end. Did he betray you?
- Yes. You finally go to Ghana. Then, from country to country,
you arrive in Europe, and in France. Arrived in Europe, there are other things
who marked me, where I was collapsed,
because I see the color of people. I'm sorry for my term,
these are the white people, and I said to myself where we are.
- You didn't speak French at the time. I don't speak French at all,
Nothing at all. Even a hello, I don't know how to say it. Were you 13, 14 years old at the time?
- Quite. For two years you will,
in a somewhat robotic way, being lugged from home to home, without really realizing
of what happens to you and without understanding
ultimately what meaning does your life take? Initially, it was an emergency shelter. Then I was so damaged. I only cry,
that I see my parents, and I moved from home to home. One day you meet this man
who is in Rebecca's dressing room, Father Christophe,
you are then 17 years old. Absolutely, I met Christophe
at La Clusaz ski resort. In my home,
there are a whole bunch of activities. We registered, we skied,
they taught me to ski. I did what I can. First time you see snow.
- First time. First time, vacation
with other unknown children. Quite. In the evening, upon arrival in La Clusaz,
there were a whole bunch of children who was present
in the box where we were. All the children,
who have become friends today, receive candy,
cookies, cokes placed in front of their bed. I was in a corner,
like in the chorus girl film, the kid who was punished, who was pushed aside,
and I was a little sad, because I had no one.
- You didn't know anyone. Above all, I didn't have this chance
that someone who put me or slipped some cookies
in my bag. There was a boy
whose name is Guillain Roquette who saw where I was. Then he divided
everything his parents gave. No water, he gave me some
and everyone took out their stuff too. From his own part to give you, the same thing ?
- Quite. They created a space for me, a little better. It was a very hard moment. Today I realize
how beautiful their gesture was, but at that moment,
it was a moment of a reminder. We say to ourselves that--
- It's nothing. Christophe arrived,
at the age of 17 and a half, where it was really complicated for me, I really felt suicidal. The home that tells me that at 18,
I have to change structure, because I have to go to a structure--
- For adults. That's it, and I got beat up
in old homes by the big ones who hit me, who stole my stuff,
but I didn't want to. It was really… It was beyond me. You were very anxious
at the idea of having to leave. I really didn't want to go there. It was beyond my refusal. In the end, all of this,
I have no one to confide in. I positioned myself in front of the train
to kill myself. Then I got caught
by the people who took me to Lille. I was hospitalized for two weeks in a hospital in Fontan. I was attached. At the time of this hospitalization,
I wasn't myself. I didn't see what was happening. Today, I blame myself so much, for the people I had to make suffer, who mobilized for me. Christophe appeared in my life when it was complicated. There was the Roquette family, the family of Guillain Roquette, who asked Christophe Who is a priest.
- Who is a priest. In the diocese--
- In the diocese in Lille. He found a better private psychologist
to better support me. He paid fortunes
so that I can be healed. It was very important for Christophe, every time he looked at me, really with eyes:
“You are precious in my eyes.” You think it’s Christophe
who saved you, who gave you the strength to live,
the taste for life. He gave me back the taste for life. He reworked something damaged. He cared with love and attention. Do you think
that Father Christophe expecting to see you
on this side of the board? I would put 40 or 50 percent doubts. He may know
that Jamiu, today, he never brings trouble
like this at home. How did Father Christophe react
at Rebecca's invitation? Look. Today,
I have a somewhat special invitation. I will give it to Father Christophe,
who has been in Lille for ten years, after business studies. I arranged to meet him further away,
follow me. Hello, are you Father Christophe?
- Yes it's me. I am Rebecca,
It's only the truth that counts. Allow me
to give you an invitation hoping
meet you on our set. My pleasure. THANKS.
- Good evening. Why do you want to thank him?
- He represents a father to me. It is important to me
let him know that I am happy for having chosen him as a father, and that I also chose for him
for three reasons, because he is strict, because in France,
It’s very important to present yourself well. There is a whole family code,
to have a child who behaves well, who says hello,
sir, good evening, madam. All this is-- A whole education
that he helped you obtain. That's it, and the second reason,
it’s because he’s generous. He takes little time for himself,
so much that he gives. The third reason? The third reason,
it’s that I learned to pray, for those who don't know,
I was in the Muslim religion. Today I have the chance to be part
of the Catholic community. It also gave me a lot of hope
and above all, he trusts me. Three good reasons
to thank this beautiful person who is Father Christophe. Have you prepared your speech?
- Yes. We will leave you for a few moments,
the curtain will close. You won't say anything
until you are given the floor. We are going to welcome Father Christophe
on the other side of the board. Don't move, Jamiu.
- We're going to close the curtain, Pascal. We reopen Rebecca's dressing room who is still with Father Christophe.
-Always, I'm going to ask Father Christophe
to join you, with regret, because we were very good
in this lodge. We talked about lots of things
and it was very pleasant. Thank you for this moment.
- THANKS. Now I'm going to ask you
to get up, to follow Sam, and the truth is just down the hall. Good evening, nice to meet you.
- Good evening. Pascal,
I present to you Laurent. Sit down.
- On that side. I was going to say, on the little cross,
but how to say that I might as well fall
than with you to say these words. Glad to welcome you,
it's not every day that we have a man of the Church
or even a man of faith, whatever the religion,
on this plateau. We are very happy about it. I guess you have something else
to do with your life and your evenings than watching television and Only the truth counts. However, you know
the principle of the show. It can be declarations of love,
as it happens. If we can avoid it, that will suit me. We will quickly eliminate this hypothesis. I suggest to you,
since you don't necessarily have an idea for now,
of the identity of the person which invites you to look at these screens. Someone will ask you a question
which should put you on the path. Christophe, between Laurent and Pascal,
which one is an angel, which one is a demon? Who am I to judge? That's a good answer. I believe you are all loved by God. I hope so
that there is no demon here. No,
We do our best in any case. Doesn't that help you?
- That does not help me. I warned you, these clues are--
- It doesn't help the father, I have my answer
in relation to this question. We know who is the angel or the demon. A second clue. I suggest you
a second, more illuminating clue. Look. Christophe, you think it should be said
what are we thinking out loud? There are things
that we are told quietly in confession that it is better not to say out loud. All truth
is not always good to say, or it depends on who. There are truths
which can sometimes hurt. Sometimes it's better to--
- Shut them up? There are things it's better to keep quiet. The truth is worth it
if it will do any good. If she's going to hurt,
injure or destroy, it is better to leave it aside.
- Shall we end this suspense? Father Christopher,
we invite you to discover, in the screens again,
the person's face who invited you this evening. You agree ?
- Yes. Here we go. You're building up the suspense there. Jamiu, it’s so cute! Do you know this young man?
- Yes. Unfortunately,
for several years now. Unfortunately ? Because he made me see it
of all the colors. I think he asked me 12,000 times
to have a dog at home, because I think he wanted
change direction about at least as many times
that he asked me to have a dog. Obviously
that I am very happy to see him, I would like to hear
what he has to say to me. Before we give him the floor,
when you say home... Jamiu, when I met him in 2017, he was welcomed
in an Auteuil Apprentice home and we found ourselves together
on a ski camp. We got along well.
- In La Clusaz. In La Clusaz. I see you are informed.
- A little. At that time it was terrible, because at 18,
there was something that did that there were no more subsidies
to welcome them, and he found himself on the street, so he came to ring the doorbell
asking if I could adopt him. Me, I was a little annoyed,
because it was not planned. I found families
who were able to welcome him. but after,
he often came to live at the house. He is a traveler, an adventurer. He goes from one family to another, but between the two, in general,
he comes home again. Its anchor point,
It’s Father Christophe’s house. Do you want to listen
what Jamiu came to tell you? Yes.
- Jamiu, it's yours. Thank you Father,
for everything you gave me. Thank you for the richness, humanly. Thank you from the heart,
I promise you that I will also do good and human value
that you shared with me, around me until my last day. I thank you for everything. The day you grow old,
I will also be there to welcome you to my home
with my family. Thank you Father. We can applaud him. Jamiu, he was very stressed to come
on this television set. It's not a familiar thing
for him either, no more than for you. It surprises you from him, from him,
coming thus, from the depths of horror, having experienced abominable things that we can't even imagine living
when we are children, arrived in Europe
in harsh conditions, in a global climate where
people who arrive at our house are not always very well received,
it's not simple, and he found the strength
to find that path, to help others? That does not surprise me,
because Jamiu received several things. He initially had a very good education
from his family in Nigeria. This is visible because he
very solid human values. It's someone
deeply honest. It's someone
deeply helpful. He will bend over backwards
to be of service to you, if he can. He is a very sociable person,
and that doesn't surprise me about him let him drag me away
on a TV set. There is in this young man
who is barely 23 years old and who lived, we saw it, we said it,
we heard it, extremely difficult things, There's a kind of maturity too-- There is an inner strength.
- of formidable strength and dignity. He tells us
that it’s also a little thanks to you. Do you have that feeling? Anyway, I always tried
not to pass him anything. My goal has always been
not to make things easy for him, because I didn't want to break
the energy he has within him. When you look at the result,
you are rather satisfied, rather proud. I would be careful not to say
that this is my result. The overall result of all these people
who mobilized, about him and what he did.
- Me, I am always amazed of the solidarity network. What Jamiu reveals to us, that's what you have in France
dozens and dozens of people who are ready to open their doors. He traveled all over France. Everywhere we found people
to welcome him. It's incredible ! For me it is a revelation
of extraordinary generosity, a spirit of welcome and openness people who have fun
to welcome someone who comes from abroad
and which we welcome with joy, because he brings all that he is,
with his joy of living, all these projects, that we want to support him. It's a great lesson
also for all those who… unfortunately, there are, but you are here to say
that there are a lot more than we think, who are there to open
their door and their heart. Unfortunately, sometimes some people don't. It's a shame, because indeed,
we have great examples like that to show. Father Christophe, I am going to ask you
to stand up facing the curtains. It's the tradition of the show,
on the cross again. There is on the other side--
- It's like a church here. There's a whole--
- Quite a ritual. Quite a ritual. It's rare, I said,
that we receive men of faith here, religious people, whatever,
belief and religion, and it is regrettable,
because we often put in the spotlight great people,
people from associations, firefighters, rescuers, doctors,
and rarely men of the Church who, however, they too, in their own way,
have an extremely important role in solidarity and outstretched hand, in the fact that lost souls
can find their way again, whether we believe or not. I think I speak on behalf of Laurent:
“We are very happy this evening,” through you, Father Christophe, to thank and congratulate the man,
but also everything it represents. Thanks for the compliment.
- We will allow you to find him on the other side of the curtain.
- We open the curtain for Father Christophe, according to the principle of this broadcast,
and you will be able to find Jamiu. Go find him. Handsome young man, are you happy? You were able to put in the spotlight
this man so important to you? Yes.
There are promises too: when Father Christophe is tired, it will be up to you to welcome him home
and take care of him. That's why I work hard
from today. Congratulations for what you do. You moved us a lot this evening,
I think you were moved, with your tears, people from the public, and many people at home,
who are watching these sequences tonight. This show,
it serves to open hearts. Often, the tears of some
move hearts. When it speaks to the heart,
it speaks to reason. I'm sure lots of messages,
that you said, should make people think,
move certain positions a little, a little bit caricatured sometimes. Father Christopher,
nice to have met you. Thank you for being present. Come on, go back together there. Theophile!
- See you soon ! See you soon ! A moving reunion
between separated parents and children. We saw a lot
in the history of the show, but the one on which
we're going to come back now. One of the most beautiful perhaps. One of the most beautiful, Christophe,
23 years old when he contacted us. He had never seen his mother. We had taken a lot of time,
at the time, to find this mother. Her name is Elizabeth. She had arrived on our set
and it gives one of the prettiest sequences, which we remember, with full of emotion,
of the show first version. Look. How are you, Christopher?
-Yes. I say it's important
for you this evening, Christophe. You have not seen
your mother in 20 years. You were four years old the last time. I think, no memory?
- No, because from zero to four years, we can't have a memory. Your parents are separated.
- Yes. Your dad got custody and you never had again
news from her. We see, Christophe,
that you come from a mixed family. Was your dad Asian?
- Yes. From what origin ?
- Cambodian. Cambodian and French mother. What makes
that your relationships, from four to 17 years old, you live with your father
or grandparents, your relationships are so strained
that you find yourself on the street for three months, at the age of 17? It's really on the street, that is to say
you lived on the streets. It's because my father is not demonstrative,
we didn't show feelings. I think it's like that
among all Asians that I know, it's the same. After a moment,
as we didn't get along, there was no emotional bond,
I decided to leave. Was it also an opportunity,
these 13 years spent with your father, until you leave,
getting yelled at because of your mother? Did you ask any questions? Is it a big enigma, your mother?
- Quite. What explanations were given to you
when you were younger? None.
- None. You do not know
why he had custody, and you haven't seen your mother again
since the age of four. How we live, Christophe,
when we have it in our heads a question mark on:
“Where did my mom go?” "Why can't I see her?
and why did she leave? We experience it very badly,
because we have like a huge black hole. Compared to when we pass in the street,
we see families composed of both parents,
and when we see the children who are happy, that makes a mark.
- It's hard. I imagine you created yourself
1000 scenarios in your child's head
about your mother's disappearance. Which seemed or seems today
the most plausible? We can imagine everything in these cases,
she could be dead. It's possible. I already thought
that she is dead, or gone, that she wanted to forget her past,
to change life, build a new life. Has it happened to you
to blame this absent mother? When we are young,
he is blamed for his absence. but with careful consideration,
now no, because I tell myself that every human being
has choices to make in his life, whether he accepts it or takes it
with good heart or bad heart, that he will regret it later
or that he doesn't regret it, that's human nature. It was a long job
investigation to find the mother. We actually have
carried out a long investigation, but who allowed us, we are happy,
to find Élisabeth, your mother. I'm going to ask you to look
these screens in front of or above you, to see the meeting between Sam
and Christophe's mother, Élisabeth. Hello, are you Elizabeth?
- It's me. Pleased to meet you, I'm Sam
It's only the truth that counts. I have an invitation to give you.
- THANKS. I hope to see you
from Monday on our set. I'll be there, that's for sure. Are you free ?
- Quite. This is your mother Élisabeth, 20 years old
after you haven't seen him anymore. What do you feel, Christophe,
seeing this face of Elisabeth? I can not find the words. She agreed to come,
she said it. She's in the studios,
we are told this in management. When she sees your face
just now, of a little boy not seen for 20 years, What will his reaction be? You think
What will she guess right away? Will she know who you are? Can we see his photo again?
when he was young ? You must have been six or seven years old.
- Four. Was that the time she left?
- Yes. Four or five. You think it's going to tilt
in his eyes and in his heart? I don't think so, because a lot of people
people around me saw this photo and look at me now,
- They find you changed. Very, very changed. Christophe, we are going to leave you,
you are ready for this moment now from the meeting with Elisabeth,
in any case by screen interposed initially, hoping
that she will decide to open this curtain? Yes. We're going to find her with Sam. Are you well, ma'am?
- How are you. Welcome.
- THANKS. Take a seat there, please. Welcome.
- THANKS. Are you okay, not so used to it? I've never done television,
so I'm stressed. It's normal. Do you know the show?
- Yes. Have you seen it yet?
- I've already seen it on television. You obviously didn't imagine
meet you one evening in front of us? No way. Élisabeth, when Sam came to knock
at your door to invite you, did you have any ideas
about the person who could invite you? I have a little idea. You immediately
Tell Sam you'll be there. You didn't hesitate.
- No. You are ready to face this truth
What did we come to tell you this evening? Can I offer you
to discover the face of this person who is behind the curtain?
- I don't mind. Elizabeth, look above you.
- I can't wait to find out who it is. Look at the screens,
and the person will manifest themselves there. This is not true! It's my son. It is not possible ! Do you know who this young man is?
- It's my son. Elizabeth.
- Christopher? Yes that's it. I suspected it.
- Is that him you were thinking of? Yes. Excuse me ! We understand very well
your emotion, Élisabeth. Nineteen years old
that you haven't seen Christophe. Do you know this photo?
- Yes, it was me. It is not possible ! It was me next to it. He has changed a lot,
he became a young man, a handsome young man. Do you want to hear it?
- Yes. Christophe, it’s yours. Good evening mother.
- Hi Christophe. Look at him there.
- He looks at you, the same. I searched for you
from the age of seven. I tried to ask questions
to my father who did not answer. It remained taboo. I called the show
to know you, to put a face to a name that I have and try to reconnect
between a son and a mother. What did you believe?
during these years ? Pardon !
- What did you believe? I thought he had abandoned me. that he doesn't want to know anything
from his mother that he abandoned me? It’s truly an immense joy. I thank you, only the truth counts
for allowing me to find my son. Above all a friendly journalist,
Sonia, who interviewed me at my home. I thank her with all my heart. Without her and the show,
I would not have found my son. It's especially Christophe
who must be thanked for this research. He listens to you. Christophe, I also have something to tell you,
you have a half-brother named Tommy. I hope you get to know him one day.
- I hope so. If you wish. I would also like
that we meet in real life. That would make me immensely happy. Élisabeth, there is a lot of mystery
for Christophe on the fact that, at four years old,
his mother disappeared, and he doesn't even know why,
still. He doesn't know why it's his father
who gained custody. You have some explanations to give him,
not here if you don't want to. I can say it, I have nothing to hide. I had neither housing nor work,
I couldn't take it back. His father said to take him to the country
and I won't see him again. In the country, is it Cambodia?
- Yes. He said I wouldn't see him again,
because he was taking him home there, Did you think he went there?
- Yes, and that he had forgotten me. Élisabeth, 19 years later,
It’s time to ask yourself a question. I'm going to ask you to stand up,
this way please, facing the curtain. Elizabeth, this curtain is ready to erase
19 years of separation between your son Christophe and you. Christophe came
looking for you tonight. He's been looking for you for years.
- It touches me deeply. Will you open this curtain, Elizabeth?
- Yes, I would like to open it. We open it
and you will be able to join him. Go for it,
go take him in your arms. What happened to them, Laurent? We will now receive Christophe, 20 years later,
look. Hi, how are you ?
- Yes. Sit down there.
- Good evening. Are you okay, Christophe?
- How are you. You look nice. We are good here.
- We are very good here and we are good with you above all. What happened
when our show comes out? When we left, we got closer,
we got to know each other. I wasn't coming home right away,
we took some time to get to know each other. It is important.
- Do you have a life with this mother? I stayed
for three months at home. To get to know each other. Three months ?
- Roughly. No more ?
- Afterwards, with the vagaries of life, We need to go home for a bit. The vagaries of life
that concerned you or your mother? Me.
- Do you have other things to do? I still have a life in Lyon,
so it's complicated. Watching this sequence again, we know, because obviously,
we remember this moment very well. I think we have eyes
sufficiently expressive on the set of the time
to really remind us of this show and this sequence. We had a mother in front of us,
as we often have in mothers who have failed,
to use a somewhat broad word, on failures
not guilty for some. She didn't necessarily choose to be,
but she suffers from it. This is the feeling you had
with her afterwards, that she was trying to catch
a lost past, if I dare say? For me, I start from the point of view
what we can't catch up with. We can only improve, precisely, to change things
and improve as you move forward. For that, I would rather say move forward
or learn, take the best flight. You had three months
strong relationships, since you went to live with her. Then what happened,
She is always there ? She moved. Afterwards, I still went again To the Loire?
- A little time, yes. Afterwards, it got a little worse
relationships. For what ?
- That's my feeling. I saw that sometimes,
it was only one way. I have trouble
when it only goes in one direction. You remember the moment
where one of our journalists, I don't know,
who took care of you, called you to tell you:
“We found your mom”? I was happy, I had joy. Afterwards, sometimes too,
I didn't really believe it, went through all these sentences, doubt, euphoria
and inevitably, the anxiety of the encounter. We've told you so much about this sequence
since you filmed it with us? Yes.
- Have you seen it again on the networks? Sometimes I couldn't look at her. Too much emotion. There are many things,
the first times, It is not possible. We are very happy to have found you
17 years later, if I count correctly. If you still have contacts
with Elizabeth, you obviously welcome it on our behalf. Exactly, it's there
that I thought a lot behind the scenes that although there was
a small break in contact, perhaps we should do
a resumption of contact. It made you think
to contact her again. That's it.
- We tried to get her to come this evening. She is not there,
but there is a camera behind me, you can tell him
a little word of love, from a son. Tell him what's on your heart
quite simply. Up there. I'm sorry for all this absence, to have cut the ties a little,
I hope we can get back in touch. Why not,
but to see, to meditate. Thank you, Christopher.
- If Elizabeth calls us and she asks us for your number, we will give it to him with great pleasure. Thank you for being our guest this evening.
- A second time Hello, lots of good things! It's time to part ways.
- I was going to say it. Yes, because we often think
the same things at the same time. This is already the end of the show. More great sequences this evening. It will be the same, inevitably,
next week, because there will be many of you
still to ask us to be able to invite someone here
to whom to make a declaration of love, someone you want to find
after years of separation, or someone with whom
you want to reconcile. Our telephone number,
the mailbox of the show, of the team. Then, perhaps, the moment to say
goodbye to Rebecca and Sam. Bye,
I say goodbye for both, Our two accomplices,
without whom this show would not be. We can applaud them, Rebecca and Sam.
- THANKS. Kisses loves,
See you again next week! Be happy, bye!
