Only the truth counts 2024 - Prime 16 (SRT OK)

Good evening. Good evening. What a pleasure to find you here on this plateau and I imagine at your place comfortably seated, to follow the show that resembles us, the show that brings us together. Still so numerous, faithful to your appointment emotion, laughter, tears of happiness, tears of joy. See you too, obviously, with Rebecca. Hello Rebecca. - Good morning. You smile from the start of the show. - Obviously. You're already smiling. I'm happy to be in the dressing room and wait for our guests. Is Sam on your left? He's a big boy... - Always. I don't even have to look, it's there. You are preparing to receive kindly our guests this evening? Kindly, as kindly as possible. To de-stress them because they are often very stressed when they arrive on set. - Yes, but it will go well. Don't worry. - Thank you Rebecca. We will now welcome a young girl which has a nice story and who makes a beautiful move. An essential approach for her, This evening. We will see whether she will find happiness or not. Her name is Morgane, we welcome him immediately. Hi Morgane. I'm doing well ? - Very well thank you. Welcome Morgane, what a pretty smile! - THANKS. With a pretty smile and beautiful eyes... - Thank you so much. and I say this under the eye of your mother… - Yes. …who is behind you. - Quite. Your name ma'am? - Stephanie. Stephanie. You are Morgane's mother, who is 18 years old and who takes an essential step. That's why that you support her tonight. Morgane, this evening, asked us to find and invite his dad... - Quite. ...that you haven't seen since, Let's say, 12 years. Approximately yes. - Approximately ? You saw him until you were six, but since you were six years old, you no longer have any news from him. You never saw him again? - Quite. It is an absence which, even at times of your adolescence, really weighed you down so much that it caused you health issues. - Yes quite, it was complicated throughout my childhood, we'll say, in the meaning where he recognized me despite everything. It's a pride that I was able to wear for quite a while. Now it's complicated, in the sense that, my entire schooling was: "Why don't you have the same name? than your mom?" It was… - What does your dad do? Yes, why isn't he there? Why do you only have one mom? My siblings don't understand either. Why do I have a daddy, you don't have your dad with you. Yet, despite everything, I still try to move forward even if it was complicated to hear from him, to be able to talk to him, Despite that, I still meet his family. It's still complicated to say that he could have been there, but he preferred do something completely different and somehow forget myself. It must be said that when your mother got pregnant with you, they were both very young. - Yes. That it was as much where you are a a beautiful young woman, you make your mother proud, but it was not planned at the time and not scheduled and that sometimes, very young couples who have children without having matured the decision too much, well, he didn't feel ready. He tried to assume, he recognized you, it is important, because not everyone does it, unfortunately. However, after a while, he has been absent from your life. Yes, my mother was 18 when she got pregnant, it was a complicated choice, because they were young, they were not posed. Do they keep or not? They made the choice to keep me. - Good idea. That, frankly, I'm happy with. It's true that it was complicated, because my mother didn't necessarily see herself mother at this age, because it's young. While my dad was: "But if it's a good idea, It’ll make our relationship better.” although it didn't help at all things, and now I'm paying the price. Who had paid the price? so far. When your brothers and sisters tell you that they have a father and you don't, Are these your new brothers and sisters? - Yes. Mom rebuilt her life, does she have other children? She wanted to rebuild her life, but it didn't work, it happens, but she had three children, my pride too to be able to have brothers and sisters. It's complicated to explain to them, they are still young: "No, I had a dad, you have another dad with mom.” Yet we find the words, because that also comes with maturity. I knew how to find the words to explain to them, but it remains… During adolescence, you searched for it and tried to contact him, you had family ties of this dad that you didn't know. How did that happen, Which door did you find yourself in front of? What happened ? - I contacted my sponsor, who is his direct brother, who sent him a few messages, from time to time without response. I also found his Facebook. I sent him messages, when I felt the need, which have never been opened. We managed to make contact after hospitalization, because the agreement of both parents is requested, we were only able to have his authorization and that's all. I tried quite a few times to look for his address. His brothers tried to search too, we found nothing. Since I was six, it's been a closed door which I never managed to open. You don't know if he has started his life again? - No. You didn't even know where did he live, what did he do? You tell us that he cut ties, with all the rest of his family too? Yes quite. - It's not just with his daughter? No, with everyone, he no longer meets anyone. What do we say to ourselves when we are teenagers? I imagine, but you will specify it, when you're a teenager and we don't have a dad in our life who recognized you, a priori, you have one. We tell ourselves that he doesn't love me enough to make an effort? It's complicated in the sense where I don't have a father figure, I look for it among my friends. It gets complicated when I see on social networks: Happy birthday to my dad! It's Father's Day ! Very good ! At the wedding too, especially the dad who brings his daughter to the altar to say yes to her husband. I wouldn't be lucky enough to have it. It's still something which is bad for my future, because, even on my side, my children will not have a grandfather. Frankly, I have a hard time with it, even now, even with age... - Such a high age! You are barely 18 years old and at the same time, remarkable maturity. We enjoy listening to you from this point of view. Are you still in high school? - No, I finished my studies last year after my BAC. I passed my exams to enter the police station… In the police station? - Yes. It is serious ? - Yes. So I'm waiting It's running its course for now. but I still continue to grow and start working life. You, madam... do we have a microphone here, Alexandre? You just pass a microphone to respond to my two or three questions. Do not move ! It happens, if you want. You never did anything to try to win back, in inverted commas, not lovingly, but, you never sent messages to this absent father? I have tried everything. I even carried out the investigation. They called me Inspector Columbo, I always found him. I discussed with his conquests, to explain that he was a dad, that he had abandoned his daughter. They weren't aware. So he changed his address again and even. Then there were the courts in relation to custody, in relation to everything. Today is the last hope of Morgana, because all legal avenues, classical voices, we tried everything, the family, we tried. Today is a beautiful open door to Morgana. We will come back, Morgane, on this step you are taking this evening and why are you doing it here, on this plateau. We will first look this lovely story of a young girl who misses his dad, but which was built still very, very good. The proof is in front of us, smiling, fulfilled. Watch Morgane's story. In Morgane's eyes there shines a glimmer of hope. The hope of seeing again the one who left his life a little over 12 years ago, and this man, it is his father, Jonathan. Jonathan hadn't planned to become a father at 18. However, it remains with the future mother, recognizes his daughter and gives his relationship a chance. He's going to be Morgane's dad during the four first years of his life, but one day, finally, he decides to leave without looking back. For little Morgane, the absence is incomprehensible, unfair and painful. Every day reminds him of this lack, this last name that she hears in class, this Father's Day that she envies her comrades, these dads who come to pick up their children at school. With his mother, she searches, but in vain, Jonathan remains nowhere to be found. However, she does not give up and hopes that his father will give him a sign. Maybe someday ? Morgane is now 18 years old and decides to appeal to It's only the truth that counts to help him find his dad. How will Jonathan react upon discovering the face of his daughter, after more than 12 years of absence? Is he ready tonight to give him a place in his life? We just saw, Morgane that a moment ago where you were close, until six years old. What type of memory do you have? beyond these photos? When I visited him on weekends, we laughed a lot. We still had quite a few… - Of complicity. …complicity, thank you, because, despite everything, he remains a dad, we still have a bond all the same. Although, after my four years, he no longer came to pick me up at all at home, it was heartbreaking not being able to see him anymore, not being able to laugh with him anymore. However, I remember that when I was six years old, I met him by chance in a parking lot and I looked at my mom and said: look, there is dad, I'm going to go see him, give him a hug. One of the memories that stuck with me, I still laugh about it today, it's because my dad gave me some sausage just for me, and it remained, because, greedy as I am, it cannot be forgotten. It's true that I appealed on this show so that he gives me answers, Because I need it to build myself further, because it is a void that I need to fill. Just to know if I look like him, if I have his character, although I think so, and they tell me why did he leave without saying anything, even though I didn't ask for anything? You told our teams, while preparing the broadcast that, for you, there was a therapy side coming on set this evening, and we are often told this: "I need at least one answer," “I need to experience this moment.” I see it as therapy, in the sense that I tried to talk about it with my loved ones However, when we have not experienced it, we cannot understand that a father, it's still something important of a woman's life, to feel safe, with a man's face in front of you. I tell myself that participating in this show is a great chance, in the sense that many people who will look at me will understand my situation. I feel surrounded and listened to too, because it's something. I know that being here will help me a lot trying to move on. You will have nothing to reproach yourself for. - No. You did everything to… - Yes. send signals and try to create bridges between this dad that you have seen little of. At least you will have done your best, including if… We do not know if he accepted our invitation, if he is there, what he will decide. The first good news, it’s because we found him. Yes, that's something. I didn't believe it, quite honestly. When I knew that he had normally been found, it was a great relief. He was found, he was invited and we will leave you for a few moments see if he is with Rebecca, if he accepted this invitation. All right. - See you soon. The curtain closes behind us, while Rebecca's dressing room is reopened. Rebecca, can you hear us? - Yes, I hear you. Is it that… - I don't like this face. Me neither. - Is Jonathan by your side? No. - Obviously not. Do you have… - We gave him the invitation, he hesitated a lot, a lot. He was not against it, but I believe that coming on a platter, it was a bit complicated for him. In any case, this is what that I can give you as a message. Technically complicated? Or he doesn't want do TV and expose yourself? Or he's afraid of the repercussions and the possible judgment people following his passage on this show. I won't answer for him but, perhaps it was indeed to come on a television set which bothered him. And to actually expose oneself, in any case, he was invited. He certainly knows that it was his daughter Morgane who invited him and if he is not in your dressing room, it is undoubtedly, in any case in front of his television this evening, watching this sequence. We hope so in any case, thank you Rebecca. We're going to find Morgane... - Then I was going to say… Sorry, I was going to say thank you Rebecca. We know how much you care these stories in particular, and you are every time the spokesperson for the entire team who fights for weeks to investigate, call dozens of people, to find people, like we do on this show. Rebecca being only the link ultimate often of the invitation Yes, there have been many work upstream. Thank you Rebecca. We're going to close the lodge and we're going to open the curtain find this girl absolutely wonderful that we have just seen. So Morgana. - Morgan. The good news is that he was found. Second good news, it's because he was invited and, very obviously, he understood that it was you. The third good news what will Pascal tell you in a moment, This show is magical, It’s that TV comes and goes, it goes far, it is listened to, there are replays and so on. There is a good chance what is happening right now on this plateau, reaches the ears and in your dad's eyes. Yes, if it's not even right now even, by train... …to watch us in front of his television, for lack of having been on the set. The good news, is that you can take some time to talk to him. If you want to say a word, you can tell him. I'm on this set today in hope that you understand my approach, no hard feelings for the call to the cameras. I made it big, but it was necessary. I don't want to come into your life, I just want to have a photo, at least see if I look like you. Then to be able to exchange with you, even an hour, just an hour of your time, where I can ask you why did you leave ? In the sense that I needed you and here I am disappointed not to see on set this evening. I tell myself that I especially hope that you look at me and you will still understand that I need to know you a little bit, that I need to put words about what you are to me now. and I really hope it works and that you don't blame me. Thank you Morgane for this beautiful message. I would like to add something to the attention of Jonathan, is that obviously, no one judges him here, and no one is in life and in the privacy of people, and no one can know the twists and turns which lead to certain decisions. It must be said. Then, indeed, the reasons may be good, that he has to be faded from your existence, even though he has a wonderful daughter and wonderful. The second thing I wanted to say, he has a wonderful daughter and that he is very wrong to do without it and deprive yourself of it. Are you going to be a police officer? - Yes. You're going to do one hell of a or a hell of a policeman, because you already have a strong mind. It shows in your eyes and your way of being. I think everyone felt it This evening. Sometimes we build ourselves it's called resilience, with failures, we build ourselves on poorly made bricks, not very solid foundations. Sometimes we build ourselves particularly good on these foundations, It can happen to live without dad, of having a parent who is failing. We become beings sometimes quite constructed and exceptional. So stay as you are. This is the best advice that uncle Pascal and uncle Laurent can give you this evening. The other thing we can say, and it's not about trying to give you false hope. We gave him your contact details. That’s also what this show is for. Obviously, we do not have the right to give you his own, without his consent. In any case, he he has yours now, and what is important to say, is that this show acts in the medium and long term. His absence this evening does not mean that he will never be there, and that he certainly heard the message. We hope he listened carefully. - I hope so. We will ask you to stand up, Morgane, and we'll let you go. Thank you, Morgane, but if you meet Laurent, sometimes he does very small speeding violations. Toddler, he's doing just one km/h too much. - Yes. Stand to the side, sir. He's the facilitator from It's only the truth that counts, come on... We only have one hope, when we see you in 15 years to see what Morgane has become, you will tell us great stories. - I hope. Have a safe trip home. - THANKS. You have an awesome daughter. In Only the truth that counts, the stories follow each other but they are not alike. SO… - We will see… …which could be in Rebecca's dressing room? This is a question I will ask. Rebecca, are you accompanied? Yes. - A man or a woman ? A man who accepted my invitation and I'm with Alexis. - Hello Alexis. - Good evening Alexis. Is everything okay, Alexis? Yes, everything is fine. Where are you from ? - From Marseille. You are in familiar territory with Rebecca. That's why we're good. - The city of his heart. Where she lives. - Above all. Alexis, we’re going to let Marseille speak and OM possibly with Rebecca. We're going to cut contact with the lodge. We're going to find out who invited Alexis by receiving, on this plateau, Priscilla, ladies and gentlemen. Hi Priscilla, how are you? Sit down there. - Hello, sit down. How are you ? - How are you. Yes ? - Stressed. Stress ? - Yes. It's for a romantic reconquest. - Yes. Oh dear, and it's not going to be easy. It never is. There, it's not going to be. For what ? - Because my little finger tells me so. Yes, that's good, you're positive. I tell the truth. - I remind you that we are here to try to make things right. - So far we haven't said anything serious. It is especially him who will need talk, and that's kind of the truth. Have you separated since then? - Two and a half years. Two and a half years, and it's over, over? We met again during a moment, without anyone knowing. It's been months that we no longer see each other, except for the little one. We get on very well. - Do you have a son? Yes. - When you say that you met again without anyone knowing, you are adults, why hide it? I mean it wasn't official. We saw each other. - Refrequented? Yes. I just did this, I didn't do the other thing. Like, close, what? - Yes. How long did it last? - A year. Did you say sweet words to each other? - No. Did you just date? - Yes. What makes you think that today, Alexis could accept this approach on your part? Well, I come here because, for me it was never 100% clear, in the sense that he never told me that he no longer wanted, but that we would see, Maybe one day… He leaves me this minimum of hope, and I don't want to have that anymore. I want it to be clear and clear. - It's stop or still. I want it to be clear, I'm turning the page or we get back together. He hasn't already told you that he had moved on? Not really ? -Basically, yes. He's the one who left me, so yes, but he never told me that never again, we would get back together. In short, you want to hear that he doesn't want to anymore, or do you hope? I hope he opens it. How old is your child? - Four and a half years. He is small. How are you doing with him? Alright. - There is someone behind you, it's funny, who's laughing, Besides, I don't know if we see it, which first of all, looks surprisingly like you-- - My twin sister. Your sister ? - Yes. She comes to help you and she is already crying. To laugh is good. - To laugh or to be sad? I think she's crying with laughter. - She cries about everything. Wait, don't move. The twin sister, What's her name ? What is your sister's name? -Cindy. Hello Cindy. - Good morning. Lawrence. - Nice to meet you. The mic is for her, not for you. Twenty years of television. - Cindy, just a word. Your brother-in-law? - Yes. The microphone, like that. Did you know it had started again? - Yes, I know everything. It's my sister. - Were you for it? I am for. - That it happens again at this time? Yes. - Then, let it start again? Yes. - I only ask you one question, Cindy. Yes, tell me. - From zero to ten, What are the chances of Priscilla, to get her man back? Zero: zero. Ten: There is hope. Eighty, 20. Wait, 80, 20, That’s 80 out of ten, eight out of ten. Eight out of ten. - Oh yes ? He can say yes. -Thank you, Cindy. Do you also have your opinion to give? - No. So, I am also his sister, and you are his brother, right? Yes. - How many chances, approximately? I would say 5. - Him, give it 50-50. Okay, come on, for your sister, it's good. Well, she believes it, at least. - More than me. Do you think you are Philippe Risoli? - Come on, hop! She tells me that his sister no longer believes in it. It's true. How many are you? from zero to ten? I would say that there is more chance of him leaving tonight. So, zero or almost. - Let's say three. You are going to be a complete loser. - No, but I just want to be sure, that's all. I don't want to hope anymore, waste time. I prefer him to open it, but otherwise, I will be fixed. I have a question. Men, sometimes, don't know what they want. You know it. - Yes but, well, It's been two and a half years of separation. - However, did you refricott? Yes. - Yes, Does that mean he still loves you? Is he still in love with you? - I don't know. Well, when we do things with his son's mother-- Yes, but it doesn't show too much his feelings. Even when we were a couple, he didn't show them much. He will make gestures, here and there, but he won't talk much, at the level of feelings. - Your sister does like that. He looks like Jacques Martin, 30 years ago. There was the mother, behind, who answered. I ask you questions, and it's your sister who answers, like that. When did it go south? From the moment we had our child, instead of getting closer, as many do, we drifted apart. We saw that the little one, everyone from our side. Both, we were at fault, we will say, not to see than the little one, and we forgot each other. It is relatively common, indeed, to forget that we are lovers, and becoming only a parent. - That's it. Did he go elsewhere? - No. You did it like that. - No. You say no, but you do this. Afterwards, but not immediately. He was someone I trusted. - He didn't deceive you, So, no complaints of this type? - No, everyone, we have always been clear. You had, each on your side, for two and a half years, other relationships? Yes, not serious, but we had other relationships, both of us, each on our side. He is aware. - Yes, but I didn't tell him everything. Was he very jealous? - I made him understand. He got angry Or did he take it calmly? No, he doesn't interfere in my affairs. This is not a very good sign. Yes. - Do you agree, sister? Afterwards, he left me, so he can't blame me. Yes, but you know, sometimes, the psychology of men and people in general, that you can leave someone and still be jealous afterwards. It's related to brain complexity. - He told me he didn't want to know anything, that if I had someone, he didn't want to know anything. Rebecca went bring him your invitation. Watch the reaction. We are in Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts, in Provence, in the south of France, next to the Berre pond, the largest area in the region. We can do it water sports, which is good, because Alexis is a fan of sea scooters. Provided he accepts this. We are still near the pond. We will give the invitation to Alexis who, normally waits for us at a friend's house. Over there. Hello, I'm Rebecca, of It's only the truth that counts, and I'm looking for Alexis. Yes. He is here. - May we come in? Yes of course. Come on ! - There are people there, shall I go back? Hello dog, hello everyone. - Good morning. Hello, Alexis? - Yes. Enchanted, I'm Rebecca, from It's only the truth that counts. I have come to give you this invitation hoping to find you very soon on our set. Yes, well, I'm surprised, I'll see. Okay. - I'm surprised, so I'll see. I let you think, but I hope to see you in my dressing room. Okay, I'll think about it and see. - Okay. What makes all of a sudden there will be a flash of lightning, he will fall in love with you again, and tell yourself that you are the woman of his life, that he will return to you? I would like it to click. - It's certain. I come for the click, afterwards, the approach too, and also exposing my feelings, because I'm having trouble, all the same. Less harm than him, but still. - If he closes the curtain? We will remain our current relationship. A good relationship between mom and dad, that's all, and the little one in the middle. Your little boy is satisfied Does he suffer from this separation? He never suffered from it because he was small. He was 18, 19 months old, so he has no memory of the three of us. However, we are still together, the three of us leave, we go out together, we eat together. - Oh yes ? Yes he can eat at my place, or me at his place. All the time ? - No, but it happens. Often ? - It happens. At the moment there is not much space neither, for both, for another person? - That's a bit like it. So, that’s also why that you want an answer, to know whether or not you should move forward? - That's it. I don't know what we can do. Can we tell him something? We are very psychologists. - Let me be clear. I don't want him to open the curtain, because I am the mother of his son. You see ? - Yes. Above all, he thought of me, and he asked me a lot, and said that in any case, he would open it for the good of the other. I told him it wasn't right to do that, that you had to be honest. I do not want that he opens it to please me, so as not to get noticed and then he says it's over. You can count on us to ask the question clearly. No, but you have to tell him. We will ask your sister's opinion. - If he doesn't answer correctly, we must help him. - We'll give you a moment. Tell me if I'm doing something stupid. - Yes, I am here. As usual, you are here. You don't say anything, until he gives you the floor. Neither does the sister, and neither does the whole public! The curtain closes behind us, please, thank you very much, and we will be able to reopen the lodge. Shut, wait! It's not win, women are very strong. You just took psychology which only you know how to do. Yes, of course, of course. Rebecca, can you hear us? Yes, we hear you. - Well, there it is. There was the field of cicadas, so we didn't hear too much. I had the right to a nice compliment, because he told us that the welcome was very warm, unlike the climate. So, I think he misses Marseille. It doesn't matter to be warmer than the climate here. No, but anyway, I'm going to ask you to get up, to follow Sam, and the truth is still at the end of the hallway. Good evening Alexis, welcome. Let me introduce you to Laurent. Good evening, Alexis, put yourself on the cross there. How are you, Alexis? - Okay okay. Apart from the severe cold of Paris, We're sorry we made you come. Yes, it's not very hot. - What are you doing ? In Marseille, I am a quality inspector in aeronautics. Ah yes, very sharp. - It is thanks to you that the planes don't break your face. - We're going to say that. I contribute to it. - Do you have any idea Who brought you here? A man, a woman ? I think yes. Do you know who it is? - Yes. Man or woman ? - A woman. A woman ? - Oh yes ? A woman ? Yes, a woman. Do you still want a clue? Yes, give me a little hint. - Look at Alexis. Would you rather go back in time or see the future? I think, rather see the future. Not going back in time? - No. Being able to correct things which would not have gone well or that you would not have done well? - No. Rather see the future? - The past is in the past. It bears his name. So you're looking forward instead? - That's it. That doesn't mean anything to you at all, the clue? - No, frankly, no. In relation to the person-- - Let's say that it speaks to me. I think I know who it is, 100% or almost. A loved one, a father, a brother, a friend you have lost sight of? I think of my son's mother. Oh yes ? - Yes. Do you have a boy or a girl? - A little boy. How old ? Four and a half. Are you no longer with your mother? - No. What's his name ? - Romeo. Romeo, we kiss you. It's a little late to be in front of the TV, Romeo. So, could this be Romeo's mom? - That's it. To tell you what? To be together again, let's do something again. How long have you been separated? - It must have been about two and a half years. Are you on good terms? - Yes. As parents? - Yes. You will definitely need another clue, because I think... I think we can give a second clue. It's included in the price, let's go. - It's understood, so we'll take it. Alexis, what is a good friend for you? He's a friend whose faults we know, but to whom everything is forgiven. Which we still love. - That's what a good friend is. So, that doesn't put you a little more on the track? Yes, that would change my mind, but no more on the track, no. It's funny, you have a fixation on… No, compared to what they tell me, It would change a little, but I don't see it. So, let's end the suspense, and we offer you to pierce this curtain, looking at this person's face? Yes, I am for it. - Let's go then. Thank you, Franck Broca. Are you wondering who it is? - No, I know her very well. So you know this charming young woman, and this is the person that you were thinking of. That's it. - Priscilla. You even know, you told us, what she came to ask you. Yes, for me, I think so. Yes ? - Yes. Wait ! Before you speak, Priscilla, Suppose. You knew who it was. You know what she came to tell you this evening. The third question I will ask: do you already know what you will answer, facing the curtain, when Pascal asks you to get up, to make a decision? - I have a little idea, anyway. That doesn't mean you're sure. No, just a little idea. It may depend, anyway, what she has to say. I have a little idea afterward, yes. Do you want to hear it, knowing that you can leave. Calm. - No one is forcing you to listen to it. Yes, I will listen. Priscilla, it's yours. You know it's not easy for me to expose my feelings like that, even if it's simpler than expose yours. I know I lied to you even if you suspected it a lot. It's been two and a half years that we are separated, but you suspect it, I haven’t turned the page. In any case, I'm sure not to have toured. We have a child in common. It didn't necessarily end well, two and a half years ago, but today we get along better, we get along well, even very well. I've always had the hope that we will meet again, because you are the only one I have loved, the only one I loved so much. I didn't give you a child for nothing. I would really like that you open this curtain, because you are the father of my son and that I love you more than anything. I love you more than anything, I do not see myself live my life without you, really. If I have to do it, I will do it, but it will be difficult for me to move on to something else, because it's already been two and a half years and the page, I didn't turn it, like I told you. So, for us, for the love we gave each other, I think you didn't make me a child for too, and for our son, so that he grows also with united parents, that we are a real family, as we were. Unfortunately, we didn't do it growing up, with both of us by his side. That's to say that it’s us, in shared custody, and it doesn't suit me, I want more. I want more than that. So I tell you again that I love you, and I would love you all my life, despite everything. No one will replace you, whether as a father or as the man in my life. Then, if this evening you open this curtain, it's not to give me false hopes, but you are sure that we resume a relationship. Step by step, I'm not going to rush you, but a real relationship. Not that you open the curtain just for me. I think I was clear, and I'm a little stressed, A lot, even. You will be less so, Priscilla. Thank you Priscilla. - It was nothing. It was a beautiful statement, as many would like to receive. Yes of course. Priscilla told us one thing quite loudly, just now, she said: "As I know him, we get along well and I know he's a good man," "he will never close the curtain, and he will never leave the curtain closed." "He will tell me yes, because he won't want to show me off," “make me uncomfortable.” "I ask him" not to open if he doesn't answer exactly to my question this evening. Either it's stop or still. So, even if it is symbolic, she understood that a TV curtain, it's symbolic, that you are going, from this evening, meet you again, and tomorrow, take care of your son, even if you decide not to open, she was very clear on that. She asked us to say it clearly, saying she doesn't want to escape, whatever you say that it's over, that in your head, it's over, either you will try to restart your story, will ensure that it continues, It doesn't matter how long it lasts, but you'll try. Can I say one little thing? - Yes go on. It's history of the second chance. We never had second chance, So, I would have liked to have one to prove to you that I can do better, I can be better, that I can be a good mother, a good wife, that we can be well together, really, and put everything what happened in the past, aside. Mistakes can be used. That's to say, Don't make the same mistakes again. Today I learned to go moving forward, I learned from my mistakes, and that's why I feel ready to experience something again. Afterwards, it's up to you to see, but that won't change anything to our current relationship, if you leave the curtain closed. It can not be any clearer. - Yes, I am fine. You are on top of the world, the king of men. Yes, we can't... Be clearer. - You understand that she can need an answer this evening? That's what she says the most. She expresses that she loves you, that no one will replace you. These are already very beautiful statements, but what she asks really is an answer, because she can no longer live in what she considers to be something a little ambiguous, still, in any case, from his point of view, and maybe even a little, sometimes, of yours. So tonight she came to get a clear answer. This is also why that she takes this step, here, with all the ceremonial of the show, because, in real life, you can't arrive, perhaps, to give this answer. Yes maybe, but I don't think so. I think I have already given, several times, an answer, and on certain things. Are you affected? - Yes, the approach, everything, of course. Priscilla, would you like add something? No it'll be fine. Are you ready to make your decision? - Yes, I'm ready to take it. Do you know what you have in mind? - Yes, I know. Alexis, I'm going to ask you to get up and stand here, on the small cross. On the other side of this curtain, your son's mother, your ex-partner, has come to win you back. She asks you for an answer clear, about your current feelings, and whether or not you resume a love story. Again, no pressure. It's not about living together again tomorrow, but there. She clearly asks you not to open if it's not your attention. What do you decide? Can I say something or not? - You are home. You are at home, dear. I am convinced that like Pascal and me, all the people who are in the audience there, everyone, you will tell me yes or no, and everyone at home says to yourselves that this boy will not open the curtain. Do you agree or not? - No. Is there still hope in this? - Yes. I say that because in truth, It’s rare that we don’t know. Often we feel it, and there, in truth, I don't know. You can surprise us. - Yes. Everything pushes you to leave the curtain closed. Besides, it's sure, There will be nothing serious afterwards. She even told you that if you didn't open it, it would be okay, she wouldn't blame you. If you tell us as you open the curtain, I got two fingers cut off. You will choose, Pascal, the fingers. I don't think it should come to that, but in any case, I would actually like that Alexis can give, to Priscilla, a sincere response, true, and which then allows him to know which way his life is going to go. So, Alexis, on the other side from this curtain, there is Priscilla. Do you open it or do you leave it closed? Well, for me, personally, I will leave it closed. Do you let it close? - Yes. Fine, it's your decision, and obviously, we respect her, and Priscilla said clearly that she would respect her too. She was clear. She needed a firm response this evening. Thank you for being our guest, Thank you for having accepted the invitation. See you soon. We'll reopen the curtain, please. Yes, Pascal. So, I told you. Obvious ! Come join us, Priscilla. - I am not mad at you. Sorry. It's not serious. I suspected it. - Indeed, as you said, you wanted an answer. At least, if it hadn't been clear enough so far, it has been, this evening. You said something very rightly, just now, but if I may, how old are you ? - Thirty two. As we are old enough to be your fathers, we're going to give you some fatherly advice. You said the right thing, he will remain the father of your son and the man of your life. There is one true thing and something that is not necessarily true. May he remain the father of your son, I hope it will always be like this. In three or four years, we'll get in touch again, you'll see, you will have forgotten and will have turned the page. Everyone who was told that they were the person of our life, and afterwards, we even cried in front of them, we were there telling them that we loved them, and in the end, we moved forward, we love other people, stronger, sometimes, So here is. - Every love is different. Indeed, we do not compare them, but there are others, definitely, coming for you. You are sad, but he replied, and you proudly displayed it, you said you wanted the answer tonight. Bravo for the courage. Thank you so much. - You have it. We are going to discover a new story in Only the truth counts. For that, Laurent is going to find Rebecca. Rebecca! Yes, I am here. Are you with anyone? I am with Vincent, who accepted the invitation. Hello Vincent! - Good morning. Who we were talking to in moderation of 20. Figure it out. Why, is he a wine grower, Vincent? I work in wine, yes. I work in wine and… Where do you come from with this beautiful accent? - I come from Avignon. Around Avignon. You have an idea, Vincent, Who is inviting you this evening? I think of my mother, but I really don't hope that it's her. Don't you hope it's her? No, really not no. Oh yes ! - Because the curtain… If it's her, the curtain will stay closed. In any case, the message got through. whether it's her or not. So. We'll leave you both alone, We close the connection with the lodge and we will discover: Is this Vincent's mom? who invites him this evening Laurent, to tell him an important truth on our set? Is the lodge closed Habib? - Totally closed. Perfect, obviously it could have been his mother, but it's not his mother. Who came to tell Vincent the truth? Ophélie, ladies and gentlemen! How are you, Ophélie? - How are you. We welcome, be calmly seated. Sit down! Do you know the show? - Yes. You called us recently and your story touched us enormously, the story that makes you here, facing Vincent in a few moments, For a specific reason, we will talk about it, but your personal story wasn't always easy. You have a first union, Ophélie, from whom you had some children, four. - Yes. Then one day, your companion, the father of her four children, has decided to disappear from your life. How long ago was that? - Almost three years ago. I found myself alone with my four children. Without resources ? - Without resources. Unemployed ? - Without work, without anything, Just with four little bits, the youngest of which was six months old. And the biggest? - My oldest was four and a half years old. I had to do everything alone, take on two roles overnight. Afterwards, Vincent is quite quickly came into my life. Vincent, you met… - On the Internet. Quite by chance. - By chance. He is a farmer, you are a stay-at-home mom and without resources. There, what is happening between you and Vincent? We discuss a lot, he has a lot of apprehension on children. What is normal because he's 28 too. We discuss, we discuss and he manages to be convinced, apparently by his dad, who said to him: “Go ahead my son, go for it!” So, he agreed to meet me. Despite the four small pieces of luggage that you had. So, are you meeting? We meet and it’s love at first sight. We'll see each other for a while. After a month he ends the relationship because he is afraid in relation to children, Which is normal at his age. So I stay for months to beg him to come back, show him that it's scary, but he can get there. In the month of August, we go on vacation with the children. With him ? - No, he wasn't there. When returning from vacation, we arrive home and we see it at the bottom. He was waiting for us, saying he missed us too much. Afterwards, he never left again. Not only he never left again, but what's more he took on this role of father beyond your expectations. Exactly. He calls himself dad by almost my four children and he is there for us every day. Thanks to him, I was able to pass my nursing assistant diploma and become a caregiver because he looked after my children. He let me graduate and return to school. Thanks to him, I've been coming back for a few months. A beautiful story Pascal. Yes, a great story with an Ophélie who was really at the bottom of the hole, when it all starts. We retraced this story in pictures, like we always do on the show, look ! Ophélie is emerging from adolescence with a furious desire to live fully. So, Ophélie accelerates. She got into a relationship at a very young age and becomes a mother very quickly. When we love, we don't count. She will have four children, with two different dads. Ophélie devotes herself entirely to his little tribe. One day, everything changes. Ophélie separates from her partner and his world collapses. She has to fend for herself to raise his children. Without diploma, without work, without resources, the young mother is going through difficult times. In these moments of trouble that she meets Vincent, who is a wine grower. For Ophelia, it's a real favorite. The man is touched by this courageous mother. Despite his feelings, Vincent hesitates to commit. Will he be able to take on a woman who comes into his life with four children? Yet his love for Ophélie sweep away his doubts, what do the difficulties matter? Vincent loves Ophélie. He will also love his children. The family moved in with Vincent, who welcomes them and considers them as his own. He will work hard to give them a better life. So that his partner can realize oneself professionally, he will take care of the children, as she returns to her studies. If Ophélie is fulfilled today, a happy mother and a fulfilled employee, it's thanks to Vincent. This evening, the young woman asked us to invite Vincent to tell him: “Thank you for loving her unconditionally,” "to be a father to his children and support her day after day." We see your family today, your children who are slowly growing up. They are growing up with a new dad. You told us they called him dad. - Yes. Which is rare, It is not always obvious. How did it happen that at the start, you said that It wasn't easy at first, because he was afraid, Vincent? Then, after this vacation, when you saw him, upon returning from vacation, there is no doubt in his head from that moment. There were some small doubts, but he tried to face his doubts and he said to himself that he will try and we'll see. I think all the love that my children carry him, and the love I have for him too, happened above. Now it's rolling. There is a show called "Love is in the meadow", We salute our friend Karine Le Marchand, which makes a very good show. There, it’s a bit like love is in the meadow, somewhere your... After him, it's more in the vineyards. - Yes, in the vineyards. Love is in the vines. You once said you were like this with a winegrower, someone who works the land. No, jokingly, I said that I will never see myself with a dirty ass. Serious ! So, there you go. He doesn't look stupid. - No. I take care of him. It is important. We saw it in this story in pictures that you could also change your life thanks to him, because if he hadn't been there to take care of your children during your studies, you would not be a caregiver, the job you love. It was a couple's choice, He's the one who pushed you to resume your studies? He asked me what my dream was. I told her: “Become a caregiver.” He told me to go for it. He helped me up my caregiver file. He really followed me from the beginning to the end. When I was taken, he told me: “Go for it,” "I put my life aside for a year and you're going to get there." He took care of your children for one year during your studies. - Exactly. What did it consist of? He takes care of the children, but in this case, precisely. Nursing assistant, These are atypical hours. He took the children to school, he did them their duty, he dressed them, He didn't have to do all that. He could have told me to manage with my children. Still, since he's a man, which has been for years, A little… There are people in his family who have always lowered it, telling him it was someone who would never achieve anything in his life and that he was a bad person. For me it's important to be there tonight, because I want to show him that this person was wrong about him, that he really is a golden person. We're not going to talk too much about the person that you call, but he mentioned the idea, Vincent, saying : "I'm thinking of a person, It could be my mother.” "If it's my mother, I won’t open the curtain.” Is this the person you are talking about? - Yes. It was someone who hurt him and he lost confidence in himself. That's why that I had to be there today and to pay homage to him and thank him more than ever of what he did for me and the children. What kind of boy is Vincent? He is a very shy person, very lonely, someone very nice and who gives a lot of love. You think his life has changed since the storm Ophélie came back into his life, you and your children? It's still moving. - Yes, his life has changed. His life has changed, his father says he no longer recognizes him, that he grew up all at once. At this point ? - Yes. He has matured. - Yes, a lot. The children's dad is no longer in your life at all, or they don't care at all children? He’s really the one who takes care… Vincent took completely the role, the mission and the place. Yes. - Excuse me, you have four children. You did the job, everything is fine, no worries. But Vincent, new love, handsome daddy, if I dare say so. - Yes. He wants a child later, He wants a child later. We will wait a few years. - A few years ? We are young, we are 28 years old. You already have four. - They're growing a little anyway. By the time the last one grows, it’s… How old is he, the last one, three? The last one is three years old. How does it feel when you are a young woman and that we lived the beginning of a marital relationship in love, very hard, when all of a sudden, there is a fact that happens there, with a magic wand in hand, and that we were in complete darkness, and suddenly we see a little light. Did you really feel that your life has turned upside down by meeting this boy? You should know that Vincent and I, we have a common point : we have two little guardian angels who watch over us. Who are your guardian angels? For me, he's my grandfather, and he is his grandmother. They are the ones who watch over us. We had things which seemed to us to be calls from them, because we believe in it a lot. As a result, it brought us enormously closer together. We understand each other on things. I know it's him and there will be no one else. We were told a lovely story on this plateau, Pascal, it was twin flames. - Twin flames, right? Like soulmates who meet up and do each other good. We have the impression that we have always known each other. We tell ourselves that we missed each other at some point and now we found each other. Destiny has armed you squarely. - That's it, We end when we have been abandoned with four young children. We must necessarily have distrust in relation to love for men. Did Vincent was able to reconstruct all that and knew how to make you today a serene woman, a happy, serene and reassured woman? It was hard at first, which is normal. but then, with time and with all the love that he gives us every day, it was rebuilt little by little. This is very important to you to take this step. It's super important, I really wanted to make a mark. I want him to know that he is a man with a heart of gold and who never doubts himself again. We will welcome him on the other side of the curtain. You are ready Ophélie, with your pretty smiles? I hope it's gonna be all right. Don't worry, we are here to support Vincent. You don't say anything until you are given the floor. The curtain closes if you want it in management. Thanks, Habib. We will reestablish the connection with Rebecca's lodge. Rebecca, do you know now, all grape varieties and the Côtes-du-Rhône appellations? I learned lots of things. I think it's not me who am the center of this lodge, but it’s definitely Vincent. He kind of wants to join you. Vincent, I'm going to ask you to get up. You will follow Sam and the truth is just down the hall. OK thanks. Welcome! Sit down Vincent! Welcome to this plateau, we are delighted to welcome you. You do a great job. A man of the earth, a man of essential values. I imagine that all that, the glitter, the lights, the audience, two entertainers in costume, it is not a priori your daily life. No, I'm not really used to that. You'll see, It will be alright. Did she welcome you? - Yes. Is everyone nice? Rebecca is very kind, everyone is very nice. You told us… We will tell you the truth. It's not your mother who is here. Either way, you didn't want to let it be her. You are very secretive about that, so, no surprises. Don't worry. Beyond this idea, do you have another idea, a man, a woman ? No, I have no other idea. I don't see who could want get in touch with me. You are not angry with anyone apart from this mother for whom there is tension, from what we could understand. There are family stories, obviously, a little on both sides: maternal side, paternal side. After… A love declaration ? Maybe. - You are in a relationship ? Yes I am seeing someone. - You are in a relationship. We hope it is not a love declaration. We hope. I have the impression that Vincent needs clues. Yes. - I offer you one. Watch, you will be asked a question to get you on your way. Vincent, if you are a superhero, which one would you be? Good question ! - A hero ? I do not wish to be the invisible man. Super hero… I'm not much of a superhero. - No. What quality of superhero would you have? It's a game we play often, precisely, to be invisible, to fly, to be very strong. A little invisible, I am a fairly discreet person, rather on that side. Going under the radar. - Yes. You don't like to show off too much. - No. You failed tonight. This is not the right cause. Do you know anything about the show? - Yes. There are only positive steps, afterwards, we accept them or not. Do you have children? No, I don't have children. - All right. Do you want a second clue? - Yes. Pascal! - Look up there again! A second question arises for you. Vincent, do you think only great powers involve great responsibilities? Are you a man of responsibility? Will take your responsibilities, assume your responsibilities, it's something who runs your life? Yes because… in my life I had to make decisions which were quite sharp. Younger ? - Younger. Maybe even sometimes to blame myself. Gender ? Like, cut us off with certain people, family. Decided not to see anyone anymore? - Yes. After… I don't know, I'm waiting to see who is behind this curtain. When you assume your responsibilities, do you usually go all the way? Generally, yes, I am someone who takes responsibility for my choices. Afterwards, sometimes, it's a little despite myself, but yes, I am someone who assumes my choices. Do you want to discover the person on the other side of the curtain, Who has a truth to tell you? Yes I want. We stare at those screens again. We will show the face of this person. Moved? - Yes. Do you know this young woman? Yes, she's my partner. Surprised ? - Yes because… She swore to me that it wasn't her. Yes, I am very surprised. You ask what Ophélie came to tell you this evening... Yes. …announce yourself this evening? Yes, I wonder what she might want to tell me. Are we listening to it? - Yes. Ophélie, it’s yours! If I'm there tonight, It’s to thank you. You are a superhero for me and the children. Hence the superhero clue. You have done a lot since you came back in the lives of children and me, that I never really knew how to thank you. For me to come here, even though I know that you don't like to show off, you don't like everyone know what happened in our life. It's so huge and it was so full of love everything you did for us, that I had to be there. We are both big fans of this show. In my opinion, it was important that you were there, and that I can thank you for all the love that you give to the children from the beginning, and that you know that you are a very beautiful person and let all of France know that you have succeeded in your life, and that despite everything we could have said to you, you are a good person, and you have so much love to give, that the children and I thank you for everything you've done. I do not know what to say. I just love you, I can't… It's normal that I'm here. I do not know what to tell you. For me, it's so obvious and this is normal behavior. My behavior towards children is as if they were mine. I say I don't have children, but it's as if I have some. I don't know what else to say. I am very touched by this gesture. You don't have the feeling to be a superhero that Ophélie described to us before welcoming you on set? I have the impression, maybe, to act normally. I'm not… I consider you my children, and I love them like my children, and I simply love you so much. She also told us, she didn't say it again there, but she told us at length that without you, she would not also be the caregiver that she could have become thanks to your dedication with children. Which allowed him to study, to graduate. That too, was not already obvious to accept four children. It's one, two, three, four, it's a lot. Very young ? - Yes. In addition, to take care of it while the mother can't be there, because she studies with restrictive schedules, and that we must replace her in many moments, which, normally, are the role of a real mom and dad. Did you accept that too without problem? You said if you went to the end of your choices and your responsibilities, did you do it without hesitation? Without hesitation, yes. At the beginning, it was a little complicated, because I still took… I came out of celibacy for quite a long time and I'm a pretty lonely person. It's true that coming into this family, it was something a little complicated at first, in the sense that four children, it is not easy. However, over time, I surprised myself in terms of patience, all that. I surprised myself. Then she has children really very, very nice. He's a wonderful person, his children are too… Ophélie told us that she was at her lowest. She lived an abominable story, a very hard abandonment, in financial distress, et cetera. When you are a single mother with four children to manage, no job, it didn't scare you, that it never was a little shadow in your romantic relationship. You are not told, not because you don't like it, but let's say, I meet a problem woman, in quotes. Some around you did they tell you at the time: are you going to be able to cope? Are you sure is it going to be serious? Are this person's problems are not going to make everything worse and ruin your relationship? I imagine you hear these speeches? Yes a lot. That is to say, when you are a single mother with four children, people have a lot of prejudices. It's true that people's gaze, It matters very little to me. We understood that well. It is true that I had a lot of thoughts in the meaning that I could find better, all that. It really confused me with some people in my family. People have told you that you could have found better. She wasn't the woman for me and that she was there for profit. By interest ? - Yes. Could you have found better? - No. No no no. Ophélie, have you heard these speeches? - Yes. Imagine that Vincent told you, you were close and sincere to each other so that you can discuss this. He was always sincere with me, he always told me everything. There never was too many taboo subjects between us. Really, I think we found each other... There was really no no taboo subject between us. There is someone who encouraged you, according to Ophélie, is he your father? - Yes. He told you to go for it. - Yes, it's true, Was he criticizing? - No way. He just told me that it could be complicated, because with regard to the current cost of living, all that… He always encouraged me to continue... It is true that I relate a little to my father, because that's the person closest to my family... What's your dad's name? - Jerome, Jérôme, we say hello this evening. - We say hello if he watches the show I am very happy to have met, simply to have met. Vincent, we feel all the emotion that you have of this approach of Ophélie. Did you think she was capable of that? Really not, no. I thought way too shy and booked to do that. Which means, practically, in relation to the injured young woman that you knew, you have a wife not only who is no longer injured, according to her, and we understand it, but who found the resources and the strength to take this step. We've been doing TV for 40 years, but when you've never done TV, come on a TV set, it's a dose of stress, anxiety, it's the judgment of others behind that we imagine. Do you find that this passage on the show this evening, it is also the shedding that continues for your partner? You find that she changes and she becomes even more confident? Of course, but it changed us, Our meeting changed us. When you're with a good person, we can only flourish. I suppose that if, today, I tell you that in 15 years, when we invite you, Laurent and me, to know what you have become, you will both be together on our set? I really hope so. Vincent, I ask you to stand up facing the curtain. As is the show's tradition, Ophélie is on the other side. It's your companion, the mother of the four children you adopted, maybe not legally, legally, but in your heart. She came to thank you, that you are a superhero, that you changed his life. Well done and thank you for being the man you are. Are you opening this curtain? - Of course. I was afraid. Thank you. Happy ? - Yes. Did it look like what you imagined? - Exactly, thank you for everything. It was like that. You are two wonderful people. I tell you this in a way almost a TV professional as a program producer. You are ideal clients and you are amazing people. I saw lots of people, the eyes of the people around us there, that there were tears flowing. I think it created this for us, in the people watching us tonight. You are a wonderful example a blended family too, and love and kindness that we can bring, when you meet someone who has children, and behave like a father, It's good, behave like a father-in-law, sometimes it's very important and it also builds a life to be a real stepfather for his partner's children. Bravo to you, Vincent, and congratulations to Ophélie. You both have the same thought in the eyes and the same love, it’s… Pascal said something earlier, he said… Pascal said, in quotes… - Great author. Pascal said that in 15 years, we will invite you and you will be there, we always hope together. Is there a question not asked? We asked you this earlier. Question I'm going to ask you. Four children, is that good? A fifth ? A day ? - Yes, one day, of course. You already have work. - Yes, there is already work. You kiss them well the four from us, then we will be godfather of the fifth. Be happy both of you! We return on the most beautiful stories from the first era from It's only the truth that counts. Her name was Stephanie, she had never seen her father for 18 years. She didn't see him, she found him thanks to our teams and she found it on our set. Watch the beautiful story of Stéphanie and Patrick, her dad. Stephanie, good evening! - Good evening ! You were very moved because it's an important evening. You don't know your daddy, whose name is ? -Patrick. You've never seen him. - Never seen. He abandoned me, he left me when I was two years old. Since then, I haven't had any news. One day you fell on a photo of Patrick. This is where you asked explanations to your mother. That's it ? - Quite. What did she tell you? She just gave me her name, his first name and who it was. It was really taboo. Without any explanation? - None. How old were you? - I must have been 10 years old. At 10, you learned about your dad. He wasn't your dad. - So. She told you why she hid the truth from you during these years ? No. - You didn't ask? It's impossible to talk about it with her. Is it a taboo subject? - So. It was a shock for you, at 10 years old, to discover that… Rather yes. - Do you remember that moment? Not too much, until the age of 10, a lot happened after that. It's really a shock to learn that his father is not his real father and we don't know his real father. There is a lack, a void all the same. How long have you been looking for your father? Since I was 17, even a little before. I was doing research with my educator. When I was 17, I signed up for your show, but from the moment I wasn't... Were you underage? - Yes, I was a minor. So we started again, we renewed the registration. Because all your research remained veins. You had no results? - Nothing at all. No news from him, no leads? - None. Why did you think of us? I often watch your show. and I see that you are working miracles. I think it was my only chance. Miracles, maybe not, but thanks to our means, we have results that, often, single people can't get. Indeed, we succeeded, you know, to find Patrick. Sam went to meet him. You will be able to discover in a few moments, Stéphanie, your father's face. Have you often thought in this minute or this second where you would see Patrick for the first time ? Yes, often. Did you imagine how? I don't know, it's unimaginable. Sam, he has fresh memories, since he met Patrick a few days ago. If you are ready, Stephanie, you can watch this report: Sam's meeting with your dad. Here we go ? - Yes. Right away, Sam! New destination, new challenge, it’s to Poitiers that I’m going meeting your father, Stéphanie, that you haven't seen in 17 years. Hello Sir ! - Good morning ! Are you Patrick? - Yes. I'm Sam from the show Only the truth matters. I have this invitation to give to you. - THANKS. I hope to see you on Monday on our set. Listen, thank you. Eighteen years later, So this is your dad's face. I'm not going to ask you what you feel, it shows. Poitiers, that tells you something or nothing to do with… Really not very far from home too. Where do you live ? - Angouleme. It's really all ready. Does your mom is aware of your approach? No, I'm doing all this behind his back. Are you angry with her? Yes very. Because of that ? Not really because of that, because of other family problems, If I had spoken about it, she would have done anything to dissuade me. She would have done everything to stop me from doing... What you want tonight, it's finding your father. We understood it, we found it. We are told in management that he accepted our invitation. So there he is, a few meters from you. He's waiting to be brought here. Have you prepared anything? Are you going to speak from the heart? - Yes. Stéphanie, we wish it were a very nice evening for you. We did everything and now it remains to be played between you and Patrick. You are ready ? - Yes. Let's go, see you right away! The curtain closes during reconnection with the corridor where Sam is. Good evening Patrick, welcome! - THANKS. Take a seat, please! Good evening Patrick, welcome! - Good evening thanks. Do you know the show? - Yes. Do you watch it from time to time? - Often. You have an idea who invited you this evening? I have a little idea, but I keep to myself. Do you keep it for yourself? - So. That idea, Shall we confirm it straight away, Patrick? Do we open the screens on the other side? If you want, yes. Look at the person's face who wants to talk to you this evening. Does this confirm your idea? Yes, I don't think I'm wrong. This pretty young woman? - Yes. Do you know his first name? - Stephanie. It's good Stéphanie, Patrick, who came to meet you this evening. Your daughter ? - Yes. What you haven't seen since? - Seventeen years. Seventeen years ? - Yes. Who has been looking for you for a very long time. I also searched, but it never came to fruition. When you search for yourself, we don't necessarily arrive. Do you want to know what Stéphanie came to tell you? Of course. Stephanie, It's yours ! Good evening ! - Good evening ! If I invited you here tonight, this is to tell you that I missed you too much, that I would like to move the links that we had between father and daughter, that I went out of my way to search for you. Even my grandparents, grandpa and grandma helped me. They did town halls, everything, even my cousin. Do not Cry ! Do not Cry ! It's been a long time that I'm waiting for this moment. I don't try to understand your relationship with mom, the stories there were. If you don't want to tell me, it's not serious. All that I want, it’s getting to know you. Everything I want right now. All right. An important evening for you, Patrick. - Yes, very important. We're not going to ask you what happened, why you left. You would explain that to your daughter. It will remain in your discussions, we don't need to know, but your daughter didn't come to judge you and to give an opinion about your separation from his mother. Did you know she thought until the age of 10, that her dad, the man who raised her, was his mother's new companion, and one day, when coming across a photo of you, that his mother said yes to him, we don't talk about it anymore. No ? I knew more or less, because… I will explore this further with her. I was asked precisely to move away. Not to show up... When we separated, Stéphanie blocked it. For six, nine months, she didn't speak any more. As the mother had met someone else and it started again to become speaking and everything, I was told it would be better that I no longer give my news. So, for the sake of your daughter, you have accepted ? I did not accept for the sake of my daughter, but it’s true that… I told myself it was better that way, that I was young. Happy this evening? - Yes very. Happy ? - Yes. Are you going to rebuild your life? - Yes. Do you have children? - Yes. How much ? - Two. Big? - Twelve and 10 years old. She has two half-brothers. - Two half-sisters. Two half-sisters, 12 and 10 years old. - Yes. Despite these two young children, you often thought to this big girl who was waiting for you? I always think about it. I wouldn't say it's every day, but very often. Patrick, I ask you, following the principle of this broadcast, to get up here, please, facing the curtain. On the other side of this curtain, your daughter Stéphanie, who comes towards you not to make up for lost time, but try to build today, now she is an adult and an adult, a relationship with you, his real father. This curtain has been closed for a long time. Too long. - Seventeen years. Are you opening it this evening? - Yes. So, we open the curtain, Patrick, go see your daughter again! Patrick and Stéphanie, we leave you quietly behind the scenes. Relieved. - Yes. Yes ? - Very. Be happy both of you! Thank you very much, I thank you for that. Full of happiness ! Bye ! - It's over there ! Magnificent moment, his reunion. Seventeen years later, between a father and his daughter, and 17 years later too… We do jumps like that every time. This young girl is here tonight. She wanted to come with her daughter Angélica on set. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! How are you ? Sit down! Hello Miss ! Angélica, is that it? What a pleasure to see you again, Stéphanie, Angélica. Beautiful eyes, so pretty little girl. I wanted to come with mom this evening. Did you want to accompany him? - She was the one who wanted to tinker. She needed someone strong next to her. How old is she ? - Eleven years. Eleven years. She has known this story since that she is old enough to watch TV or videos on YouTube, that's it ? - That's it. We still remember, Pascal and I, we hosted this show at the time obviously, with a lot of emotions of this sequence. It shows on set. - Yes. When we saw him again, again, our hairs stand on end, and the eyes are a little watery. What happened after the set? We kept in touch. Everything is going well now. I gave my father the three grandchildren. Two couldn't make it this evening. Is he a grandfather now? Yes and he is very happy to be a grandfather, above all. Everything is going well. - How is he, Patrick? He is doing very well. So it was really beautiful stories as we like them in Only the truth counts. The curtain opens, we find the person, the curtain opens. Afterwards, in real life, there is something being created, which is born and which lasts. That's it, fortunately that I have my father next door now, because I had mom a little, but now there is the father's side which is always present. That you were desperately looking for since a long time. Your mom took almost 17 years to find his dad. Great courage, great determination, things went completely since ironed out. You never spoke with your father again from your period before? Yes, we're even still talking about the show from time to time. You are a mother of three children, has it changed your way of being a mother and becoming a mother, to have lived this chaotic and complicated childhood, with the absence of a dad? I try to give my children which I was not lucky enough to have. Now they are growing with their father. Stability, love. Even though we are no longer together, he is close for their children. That's all that matters to me. When you see this sequence again with your mom, from the height of your 10, 11 years there, what are you saying when you see your mother like that? That we had our dad… Nothing else. You're lucky to have yours. What is this grandpa, this grandfather like? He spoils us a lot. He is very nice and he is very funny. He is really funny. - It seems like she's talking about me. You realize that if there had not been this approach from your mother at 18, it's courageous, at 18 years old, to come on a television set, in front of millions of people to find a dad that we have almost never seen, and to do this with the risk that daddy doesn't come, or he doesn't open the curtain. Especially fear let him not open the curtain. If all this hadn't happened, you wouldn't have this grandfather. You wouldn't have a grandfather. Did you doubt that he wouldn't open the curtain? - A little bit. Already, if he had come. - Of course. Because we didn't tell him that. We didn't know if... When the screens light up he says she's his daughter. - Yes. He knows. - For him, it was sure. Intuitively, he knew it. - That's it. I who didn't know him, I did not know if he still thought of me. There, we learn in the show at this moment, that he too has been looking for you. - Yes. You are both looking… - Not found, fortunately, once again, you were there. For once we're useful for something. Everything going well for you today? - Everything is fine. Does this show, still talk about it a lot? Less, before she came back last year… We didn't talk about it. I had not forgotten myself, but otherwise, it's okay. On social networks, now. - Yes. This story has had millions of views, with thousands of comments, super caring, super nice… We were still watching just now. Like everyone who comments. We thank you for our sequences on digital today and which are always extremely cute. There is nothing more to say. It touches us, including comments and people's reactions. It built you up a little to go on that set that day? It was a defining moment in your life ? Very shy therefore, I said that I won't set foot again on a TV set. Never again, there I am. Did that go very well? - That went very well. In any case, we sometimes have the impression to be of some use to something, especially our entire team. That's the principle of this show. Stories like yours prove it to us. We are delighted to have met of your little girl. We kiss the other two children and Patrick, of course. You will convey our regards to him. THANKS. Thanks to you two. - THANKS. Go backstage! Bye! Bye ! Go back to your little girl. Laurent, with someone, I have a truth to tell you. What I see above all, I have the impression that I will soon be replaced as Pascal's best friend. Look at ! - She's as hairy as me, as sweet as me. This is Pascal's new dog. He took him all week of recording. Little baby ! - The charming Ounnas. She is here to tell you that it's time to go to bed. End of the night ! Unworthy father that you are. - No way. We will thank Rebecca and Sam in their dressing room. We kiss you. Good evening ! - End of the evening on Channel 8 dear friends! See you next week. - Hello Laurent! - Chao!
