Only the truth counts 2024 - Prime 17

Good evening. Good evening. Good evening Laurent. - Good evening Pascal. In great shape ? - In great shape. Thank you for being there, faithful to the post. Well settled in your home, we hope, as Rebecca must be in her dressing room. Rebecca! - So. Good evening. How are you, Rebecca? -Alright. You were well received when you knocked at the door throughout France, this week ? Always very well received. Are they still surprised? Are you the real Rebecca? - Surprised, yes. Who are you in the dressing room with? I am with Philippe who accepted the invitation. Good evening Philippe. - Good evening. A nice voice ! - THANKS. Beautiful baritone voice. - You are welcome. Are you okay, Philippe? - Alright. Do you know the show? - Yes, I already saw it in 2000. I saw it again there, when it started again in 2023. Yes I know her. Do you know the principle? - Yes. You obviously know that someone asked us to invite you this evening. Yes, that's what I was told. - Do you have any idea who is inviting you? No. - No idea ? No, no idea. We'll let you think about it, maybe cook a little Rebecca. I've been thinking about it for fifteen days, but I still haven't found it. We close the collection with the dressing room, time for us to discover on this plateau the person who wanted to tell a truth important in his eyes to Philippe this evening. Is the lodge closed very well? It's closed. - Thank you Habib. Under your applause, we receive on the set, a young woman for whom It’s very important to be here this evening. Her name is Charline, Ladies and gentlemen. Are you okay, Charline? - How are you. Sit down. Charline, I saw you in the wings. We said hello like that. I said, courage, it will go well, and you already had tears in your eyes. Still now. - Did he step on your foot? Because sometimes he's clumsy. - No. You are very moved, because This is an important evening for you. One evening when you will perhaps be able tell someone you just saw, things that you don't have for him perhaps not said enough. Also not said at all by the way. This person we come to to find out, it's your dad. Papa Philippe. - Yes. He's your daddy, but he's the man who raised you alone. All alone, he raised me all alone when my mother left. She left us and he always gave me everything. He did everything so that I didn't miss you're welcome, that I have a good education, so that I become the woman I am today, with principles and values. I would like to thank him. You have the feeling that you must thank him, because he did more than his duty as a father. We can say it, it's a father's role to be there if the mother is no longer there. This also means that you don't have didn't make life easy at times? Never. I was very harsh. I haven't always been the easy teenager. I caused him misery, small ones things we shouldn't do. Today I have to ask him sorry and thank him for everything. Your daddy was not only there to raise yourself when you were a little girl. Afterwards, you started to have a love life, like any young woman, he was there again, and in particular during a moment in your life that is not easy, where you were engaged or in any case, in a relationship with someone who was not the best person in the world for you. A kind of toxic relationship like we sometimes have in life. What did your father do? at this moment ? Did he see you suffer? - He saw me suffer. Except I didn't tell him so that he does not suffer in turn. I hid it from him. My son, he told him and he understood what I was going through. How old was your son? He was four and a half years old. He spoke to his grandfather. - That's it ! What did he tell her? He told her it was happening to me things not so good. This little boy who is your son, of course, that you love very much, he's the person's son who you were with. Did he witness these things? - All the time, every time. How reacted your father at that time? He wanted to make her not very things... He was very angry. - Very angry, yes. I hid it from him to protect him precisely. So that he doesn't have reactions excessive and does uncool things. He helped you turn the page of this relationship too and move on. I doubt he gave up. He blames himself for not having been there enough for me. We live 800 kilometers from each other. He moved, he came. - That's it. He asked me to speak to him, which I refused so as not to worry him. Did he explain it to your partner? - No. No ? - He does not want. Did he say things to her at that time? - He warned him once. To never touch me, to never hurt me. To her face, he made her the promise not to do it. He didn't keep his promise, so my father, very angry, he wanted to do the worst to her, I think. I dissuaded him, because there is my son who was in the middle. He did not want. Your father when he found himself all alone, because your mom, you come and tell us, was gone, Did he never start his life again? He tried. What makes him not have you? given a kind mother-in-law? Maybe because I didn't want to either. You didn't help him with that. - No not at all. He put you first. Here too, in relation to these stories love or personal happiness. Even now. Is he a great grandfather? - Gorgeous. I have nothing to say. A great dad makes a wonderful grandfather. You have brothers ? - No. Only child ? - Yes. The apple of his eye. - Exactly. We tried to retrace in images, as our team knows how to do, your story. A chaotic story, with this loving dad, extremely present, extremely responsible, and a girl who doesn't always reciprocate. If Charline had to give a title to his childhood, she would undoubtedly choose, “My father, this hero. » If she's a built woman and a good parent in turn, it's because of love and the dedication of his dad. Philippe and Charline, it's like father, like daughter. They are fusional since Philippe raised alone Charline after her mother left. For 23 years, he never failed in his mission. Present in vouchers like bad times. When Charline will settle down with his boyfriend, it's difficult for Philippe, but he knows he has to let her go. Then Charline becomes a mother of a little Soane. She will never forget this first time where she saw her father crying joy in motherhood. Since leaving home, Charline hides a terrible truth to his father. For eight years she has lived a nightmare with his companion without ever daring to talk about it. Philippe learns of his daughter's misfortune, he will do everything to help her. Charline is at the bottom of the abyss, but he supports her whatever the cost. Today, Charline has rebuilt her life. She is a mother for the second time. Her life is finally perfect and her happiness, she must largely to his father. This evening she came to pay homage to the one who has always been there and simply tell him, Dad I love you. Thank you for being there for me. You have tears in your eyes seeing your photos in your father's arms when you were little. Does it still affect you as much? - Yes. My father is my whole life. With your two children, we suppose. - Of course. Are you happy today? - Very. There, it is not visible, because I cry. We understood that it was tears of joy and emotions. You rebuilt your life with a stable man who loves you and you had another child. Yes, a little girl. Who's name is what? - Sherine. So cute. Who also takes care of your little boy like a dad. He takes care of himself like that. This dad, do you imagine that he expects to see his daughter on this side of the stage? No. He hasn't cooked for you since? I don't talk anyway. Ouch, we have to keep it a secret. - That's it. Save the surprise for tonight. - Exactly. Your mother, you no longer had news about her and you didn't try to see her or to ensure that it calms down a little? I do not want it. You've thrown him out of your life. - Yes. She never tried to come back. - Yes, but I don't want to. It won't do any good anyway. I have a fixed idea about what happened and anyone wants me to believe the opposite on my father, I do not accept. So, I don't want to. Your new companion gets along well with Philippe? Wow, yes. Philippe is happy that you finally have found happiness and serenity. Yes, he is calm. Rebecca went to bring him your invitation to his home. Look ! Today we are in Châteauroux, in the Centre-Val de Loire region, in the middle of France, in the Berry valley. I'm here to deliver this invitation to Philippe. He is a forklift driver and gave us meet in a small cafe. Follow me ! Good morning. Are you Philippe? - Yes, himself. I'm Rebecca, from the show Only the truth matters. I give you this invitation hoping to find you very soon on our set. Ok thank you. I will come. That is why ? Do you know the show? - Yes a bit. You will see. Is that your dad we just saw? - Yes. He received Rebecca's invitation. She said, he's a nice guy. The second good news is that he is already in the studios this evening and he is near Rebekah to know what sauce it will be eaten in a few minutes. You are ready ? - I am ready. Does he like the show? - Yes. Me more than him. Will he understand the meaning of this approach? - I don't know. He will ask me why I came here. It’s both thanks and forgiveness. - That's it. Sorry and thank you. We're going to let you do this pretty action in a few moments. We will welcome Philippe on the other side. Afterwards, it will be up to you, Charline. - THANKS. See you later. - Good luck. Time to ask for the management to close the curtain, obviously, and reopen the connection with Rebecca's lodge. Here we are. - Here you are. Philippe said that he was often invited to eat, but rarely on TV. He asks himself lots and lots of questions. - Yes, affirmative. Philip, I'm going to ask you to stand up. You will follow Sam and the truth is just down the hall. All right. Come join us Philippe. Good evening. - Good evening. Delighted to meet you. I'm Laurent. - Good evening. Hi Philippe. I'm doing well ? - I'm very good. Was Rebecca nice to you? Yes, very nice. - She's lovely. Yes. Yes, and very beautiful. - Yes, it's true. Thank you for her. Do you know the show? - Yes. You've seen it before. You never said to yourself, I'll go there. It wasn't on my mind. It wasn't in your plans. - No. Then the invitation comes… I couldn't believe it without the email. You thought it was a joke. When you understood, you asked yourself who it could be. So. A woman, a man? - I don't know. Are you angry with someone? - No. There are reconciliations sometimes, reunions, someone you haven't seen anymore. Do you have passions? Yes, football, rugby, boxing. Rather, sport. - Yes. Do you have children? - Yes, and grandchildren. Grandchildren? - Already ? Young grandfather. - Fifty-seven years old. It's young. - I know. I'm not yet. - My grandson is eight years old. Maybe not. What do you have? I have four daughters, with three different mothers. It happens. You know here, Pascal Bataille, who is next… It's me. He co-hosts the show, but it also has a whole range of clues to get you on your way. Want a little clue? I don't mind. Look into the screen and one person will put you on the path. When was the last time that you said, “I love you”? Good question. When was the last time? I tell my daughters. So not very long. - To my grandson, my granddaughter. It's for Christmas. You say easily, I love you to his children? Yes a lot. It's important to express that. - Yes. Philippe, would you like discover the face of this person who wants to talk to you this evening? Yes. - You can refuse. Say no, and leave. - I came here to… Go through with the experience. - Yes. Fix those screens again and the management will show the person on the other side. It's my daughter. She's my daughter from Perpignan. She is the one who has the two children. Damn, she made me cry. Damn. You cry as soon as you see it there. You cry without her speaking. - As soon as I see her. I raised him alone. It's been six, seven months that I hadn't seen them. We didn't speak on the phone. Just for my grandson, she was angry. I do not know why. She was angry with you. - Yes, I don't know why. Are you happy to see her? - Yes, very, very, very, very, very. I hope there are my grandchildren. I am very happy. Charline, my darling, it’s yours. You wanted to talk to your father. He hears you now. Good evening dad. - Good evening darling. For once I will be able talk without you cutting me off. I did not hear. For once I'm going talk without you cutting me off. Go ahead. - You let me talk. If I made you come, it's first of all to ask your forgiveness, because I didn't make you live easy things. I haven't always been a dream teenager. I lied to you a lot. Sorry for everything I did to you, for the harm I may have done to you, words that could have hurt you. Also, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for giving everything for me, for raising me, for giving me values. Thanks to you, I am the woman that I am today. Thank you for being the grandfather that you are. Thanks for everything, Dad and sorry. Then above all to tell you that I love you. I have to answer ? You don't have to answer. You can answer and you can especially talk to him because she hears you, sees you under the same conditions that you see it and hear it. If you want ask him something, tell him something, don't hesitate. I raised you when your mother left. I raised you as best I could. You were tough, sure, but I loved you. I was there for you and I'm here for your children too. You know that. You are a tough girl, but I love you and I will always love you. I love you and your children too. Thank you dad. - I will always love you. I thank you. When she came, she told us a little about her life. She told us about the role that you played, essential, in his childhood. You helped him exist and grow. She also told us less cheerful things, not from you, but coming from her. By telling us that she had an affair with a man who was not the best man that she was able to meet. Here again, you intervened. Again, you've done everything to get her out of there, to be a protective father. You remember ? - I'm a little too much. Yes ? Are we too protective? when you are a dad? Besides, I'm a grandfather, I am even more so with my grandchildren. This has to stop, This must not continue. With grandchildren, you wouldn't know where to give head and heart. You remember of this bad period? You intervened to get her out of this mess? Help him financially, Just get her out of there. It's my daughter. I would do anything for her. I would have known, I would have done better... Dad, I want to bounce back from this. I don't want you to blame yourself, because I didn't tell you. It was to protect you, so that you don't do anything. Protect from what? So that you don't act impulsively. It's for you. You shouldn't blame yourself. I want you get that out of your head. In any case, you have to blame yourself. I blame myself, I wasn't there. You were 700 kilometers from… He took advantage of it. - I refused to tell you. Do not worry - You should have. You hid it from me for years. Christmas, you had a keen eye. You tell me you kicked a door like all women do. Second, he broke his nose. What should I do? When I first boxed him, you said to stop. I should have killed him right away. No ? There was Soane in the middle. - Confess. We're in public. - There was Soane in the middle. There was Soane in the middle. I thought of my son. Me, I think of my daughter. You are two damn beautiful characters. Especially her. We are 700 kilometers away. You brought me to Paris, Do you realize the detour? You could have stopped at Châteauroux. - I live in Perpignan. Did you do Perpignan-Paris? - Yes. Did you go directly from Perpignan to Paris? By plane. By plane ? - Yes. Me, by train, by TER. THANKS. You by plane, me by TER. There's no Chateauroux-Paris flight. Yes, there is Déols airport. Yes, but with ecology now, we don't do flights like that anymore. You have a dad, you said he is wonderful, but we didn't expect, once again, to such a beautiful character. We also understand forgiveness better. Go eight months without giving news to a man we love so much and to whom we owe so much, you must blame yourself. Not eight months, but five months, easy! Yes, it's true, because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. Yes, but I knew he was okay. Did you have your information? - Yes of course. She said something. When we asked him if you had rebuilt your life and if when she was little, there was another woman who mattered to you, she told us no, because quite simply, she was so hateful and so harsh that it was complicated to bring in another. She got me fired two, three. By putting himself between the two of us, she got me fired two, three, when she was eight years old. Yes ? Yes, very, very jealous. She wants to keep her daddy for herself. Very jealous ! Is she always like that? - Maybe more. She is 29 now, anyway. She's still a little jealous. Yes Yes. No, it's not jealousy. - What is it then ? Not jealousy. - It's what ? It's just that I want you to be taken care of. I already take care of myself. Don't worry about that. There is no problem. Charline, do you still have something to say to your dad? Dad. - Yes. If you agree to open the curtain... I accept. - Hold on. You say, “You accept. » Let me finish. If you agree to open the curtain, you promise not to talk about the past anymore and we move forward. OK. That is to say my children, gentleman and me. There is nothing. - No worries. You don't talk about the past anymore. No worries. I promise you. Will it open? Are you sure of that? - Of course ! You don't know me well. I accept. We will do it according to the rules if you want ! Get up, Philippe. You put yourself there. On the other side of this curtain, there is your daughter, that you raised all alone... This is where he talks about walking. - Be careful. WATCH YOUR STEP. We would have told you so. Like this, she opens her arms and then I fall into it. Charline came to tell you both sorry and thank you. Thank you for being the fantastic father that you were, the fantastic grandfather that you are. She also asks you to forget the past and turn to… It's going to be hard, but we'll see. - The present and the future. Do you agree to open the curtain? - Yes. So, we open. - Go find your daughter. Go for it. I love you my daughter. - I love you too dad. Where are the children? - With Arya. In Perpignan? - Yes. I thought that you would have taken them to me. Your father, he promised one thing tonight. You made him promise not to talk about the past again, to no longer have contact or whatever, etc. He said, yes, he promises. Promise something tonight. Your father, he also has the right to a life love, a normal life, etc. Stop ruining his relationships. The next time he… We live at 700, she doesn't do it anymore. The next time he introduces you is someone going to be like that? No, but let her stay calm. - I promise. Let her take care of my father and I leave her alone. He looks to be able to cope. It's a woman, I'm here to manage if there is a problem. Pardon ? I'm 57 years old anyway. I'm not your son! You have such an incredible look, one like the other. THANKS. - Glad to have you. You are content ? Well done for raising this beautiful young woman. THANKS. - Good game. Arm in arm, arm in arm, go back that way. Meet your grandchildren and be happy both of you. We will now receive, Laurent, two young men who come to do this on this set, a fundamental approach, essential for them. Anthony and Mickaël don't know their dad. They want to meet him on our set. Thank you for welcoming them. Good evening. Boys, are you okay? Anthony and Mickaël. - That's it. Good evening. - Michael. Good evening Laurent. - Sit down, both of you. In case it had escaped to a few people in the audience, you are not only brothers. Also, you are twin brothers. - Yes. Like us. - Almost like us. We look like a little less than you. Who is Anthony and who is Mickaël? I'm Anthony. Anthony and Mickaël. You are both 32 years old. You are two brothers who lived together a really uncool story. Your mom abandoned you at birth in a foster family. You did not judge the mother and you obviously don't have reproach for doing more to him than that. You know your story. It was made of constraints, his life to this mother, and that she therefore had to abandon you. In the host family where you were, It didn't go very well. Why did it go wrong? in the host family? Quite simply, because there were things. It wasn't okay. We were deprived of going out. There was no need to do anything if you like. Do nothing ? - Nothing. Was it very strict? - Yes yes. The host family was strict. The father was very harsh. - Yes very. Strict in the violent sense? There were a few violent gestures he had. In any case, you have this double punishment, in quotation marks, not having your biological parents and not being very happy in the host family in which you grow up. However, you get through it. You become young men, then accomplished men. In your twenties you decide to try to find your biological parents, and first of all your mother. Yes. You manage to find your biological mother. How is it going at that moment, when Are you meeting her for the first time? It’s you, Mickael, who meets her. - Yes, myself. I wanted to take the steps, so I just met him by typing their last name, first name on Facebook. First meeting, you see? - Yes. Where it was ? - In Auxerre. At her place ? - No at home. At your place ? - Yes. She came ? - Yes, she came by train. We met, we talked. We were at the restaurant. We took a hotel and the next day, she took the train again to return to Paris. This meeting, it was disappointing for you. It did not meet your expectations. - No. Not the first time. There is a second time when we saw each other again, but it was at her house. There, yes, it was very disappointing. I saw a completely changing mother. Not at all the same that I saw the first time. There were a lot of problems and following that, we never heard from each other again. We never contacted each other again. She deleted us, banned on Facebook with very hurtful words. Of the kind ? “You were not wanted in the world. You just have to die, you just have to take drugs. I don't care about you. » It was a big shock, a very big shock. Have you experienced this? - No. You, you don't have it never met. Did your brother protect you from that? - Yes too. Why are you protecting your brother? We are guardian angels. - We are often together. You were less than Mickael in this research? Yes, much less. It was less important to you. - Yes. He wasn't my dad anymore which was more important. Me, my most important mother, but so did my father. Our father too. This mother, ultimately, it goes badly and the bridges are cut again. This is where you decide to get together looking for your father. On which you have extremely little information, but one of the positives of meeting your mother, that's what she gave you a name, a first name. Some little information who put you on the trail. Exactly - A complex story. Despite everything, you are two men built today. In any case, much more constructed than we could have imagined, or even the worst for both of you. Strengthened by your twinship, and your fraternal bond, I imagine, you protected yourself. You were talking about a guardian angel. Your brother is my guardian angel. It contributed a lot so that you don't do stupid things or that you're not that bad to be together together, to face all this? We supported each other, we tried to say the right things to each other, to reassure himself and that was fine. We tried, boys, to retrace this story both heavy and difficult and, at the same time, true solidarity, of this twinship which allowed you to fight together, in images. We will look at the subject straight away. The life of Mickaël and Anthony begins in a Parisian maternity ward on July 7, 1991. In a normal family, this birth would be synonymous with happiness, but Mickaël and Anthony did not the chance to have a normal family. The two babies are abandoned at birth. They will grow up in foster care from their 17 months to their 20 years. Twenty years they're going to be rambunctious and sometimes mistreated, without knowing anything of their origins or their past. They are the only family one for the other. It's two that they intend to discover their roots. After recovering their file, they discover a name and a first name, that of their mother. The boys, full of hope, find her, contacts her and even meets her. But for Mickael and Anthony, the reality is hard to hear. She is only their biological mother and in his life there is still no space for her two boys. Mickael and Anthony are looking to find the trace of their father, but the information given by their mother are thin. His name is Christian C. She won't say more. Mickael and Anthony build each other, despite their crack and their questions. A few months ago, they decided to call on our show to help them find their father. Tonight, on our set, it's together, hand in hand, that the brothers hope discover the face of a man that they don't know. This is what motivates today part of your life. It's finding your real father. - Yes. You called us a few weeks ago to tell us, help us find this dad. You gave us the information which were in your possession. What is your hope tonight? To know who it is, what he does for a living. The past is the past, but we would like to know certain things. What did that our father gave no sign of life and of him since our birth? He didn't recognize us, because we don't bear his name. We are named after our maternal mother. There wouldn't be a lot of things to discuss with our father. You want answers. You are not here to judge him or to reproach him. No no. Maybe to try to build something if the desire exists. Because that is very important. Did your mother tell you if he knew of your existence? Maybe he doesn't even know it, that your mother was pregnant with him and that she bore twins. No. - You do not know. No, we can not. She didn't want to tell you that. - No. We asked things about him, but it's always as if she was hiding, as if she kept it to herself. It was never easy in the family. There were misunderstandings between our host family and our real family. Lead caps on your head. - That's it. It's very complicated. What you know, This is what you gave us. A first name, a last name, the place where your parents met. That, you managed to find out, to ask your biological mother. Do you think that it is possible today, at the age you are, to build a relationship with this father who has never been in your life, whose face you don't know? Yes of course. Of course. We will never make up for the past. You have to live in the present moment, since life moves very quickly. There are so many things to take, to discover. Which is incredible, the effects of a word that we love on this set, which is the word resilience face in tests, we come out stronger, sometimes. Sometimes we come out very broken and sometimes, the mysteries and chemistry of life make that we are stronger after obstacles. You are that you married a profession where you help young people today in reintegration. Yes. It was an important choice to tell you, you could have done any type of job. You are doing a job today where you are in contact with young people that you help to reintegrate. That's it. It's a way, somewhere, to thumb your nose at life? Since I've been in this job, I feel good. They listen. We want to pass the work on to them. It's nice to share things from the building, because I am a mason by trade. Then to pass on my know-how. Things that build them. You are both proof that we can build ourselves despite all the trials of life, despite terrible absences. You were lucky enough to be two, but that doesn't prevent How difficult was it? You've never been apart or did we never think about separating you? If. - If. We made homes. I went to Coulan-Chauriane, a very strict household. Not allowed to go out, go to school, do your homework. Without your brother. - Yes. My brother was in an IME home. During the week, we didn't see each other. We didn't see each other sometimes only every other weekend. It worked a lot for us. It distanced us enormously. We suffered enormously. Today, we managed to complete all these steps which were not easy. We found each other and now. We don't separate anymore. - We never leave each other again. I don't make it a secret. I have twins who are a little younger than you. I can't imagine that they can separate or that they can be separated. I imagine what pain that must have been. Separating from your brother is hard. - Very difficult. When in addition, we know the link there is, not always, but often, between twins or twins, we imagine that it is absolute torture and we never send the ending. Of course. - It's a bottomless pit. When we saw each other every other weekend, sometimes we get confused, we were changing. We each had our own character. We argued, we hit each other. It's unfortunate to say, because we each had… You needed to confront yourself. It's constantly. Even now, we confront each other. Of course. The confrontation, it's construction too sometimes. We'll look for the mirror at each other's house and the partner, in quotes. You think that we don't argue with each other? For 40 years, we've been arguing. We've had times to yell at each other. This is how we build ourselves in the confrontation. We have, we told you, worked a lot on your story. We will see if Rebecca managed to have Christian, it's the first name of your father, near her. See you guys right away. We're going to close the curtain. We reestablish the connection with Rebecca's lodge. Can you hear us, Rebecca? - I hear you. Did we succeed? to find Christian? Is he with you? - No. You know I don't like to say that, But no, Christian is not with me. That being said, really, I'm passing the message on. All our teams searched for him, still looking for him and have no intention to stop looking for him. Research continues, but for now, we were unable to locate him. We continue anyway. It's not even that Christian did not want to come, is that for the moment, we do not have yet managed to really identify… We can't locate him, so no, he absolutely did not refuse the invitation. Just for now, I didn’t give it to him. Do you know if we got closer? Do we have any good clues? good hopes to be able to find him? We have very good teams. Yes, I know that. With the right teams, we will manage to get closer. For now, in any case, This evening, he is not here. Maybe we'll meet again another evening. I hope so. On C8, to possibly continue this story and see what becomes of it. Thank you a thousand times Rébecca. Obviously thank the journalists who takes care of this story for our friends behind which we will find immediately. Thank you Rebecca. We're going to reopen the curtain. Habib, our director. We are going to find Anthony and Mickael. So, it's rare, but we are not no more magicians. Sometimes, indeed, despite all the work, perseverance and let's say it, without boasting, the quality of our teams, all the hard work they all put in trying to make this service great which is to find someone for someone who seeks it, one fails. We fail today, that doesn't mean we'll fail tomorrow, but we haven't succeeded yet to find Christian's trace. However, since you are here, Laurent will offer it to you, obviously, It's time to leave a message, to throw this bottle into the sea, as they sometimes say. There is a camera who is right behind me. You can leave a message very short if you wish. Identify yourself. If anyone ever hears talk about this story, where Christian hears of this story, where we talk to him about it, he will be completely free. The camera is just behind. Good evening dad. If I called on this show, it's to try to find you, know who you are, what you do in life, know what happened when we were younger. We don't blame you. We just need to understand things and give you a sign, tell you, even if we don't know you, that we love you and that we will do everything to find you, or the show. Already say what you know about him. What do you have of meeting your parents? What I know, my grandmother who is in Dijon, would have seen you at the Nursery, in Bourg-la-Reine. After that, nothing more. A priori, he would still know... He would have shown up once. When mom was pregnant. - What is mom's first name? Sandrine. - Sandrine. Where did your mother live? - In Paris. In Paris, and you were in Nursery, in Bourg-la-Reine. Exactly. We were the first twins to arrive at Bourg-la-Reine, when Bourg-la-Reine opened. What year is it? - 1991. 1991. - That's it. What month were you born in? July 7. July 7, 1991. The meeting and the conception, in any case, were made the year before 1990, in the fall. Exactly. The twins specialist that I am, Pascal will tell you that with the twins, you have to count more finely than that, because often, twins are born prematurely. Sometimes, rather around seven months, even eight months. Was this your case? - We were premature. At birth, we weighed 700 grams. Seven hundred grams. We were in intensive care both, urgently and we both came back. Already, first miracle. Some clues, some leads. Christian, perhaps, let's imagine, watch TV tonight, because he is a fan of There is only the truth that counts. Maybe he doesn't look at her, but he will hear about it, that anyone knows Christian and maybe he will show up. That’s what we hope in any case. We throw it tonight with you this bottle in the sea. We don't force Christian, and that's not the aim of the game, to manifest. If he ever shows up, we will be infinitely happy to give him your contact details. Boys, happy for having met you in any case. Thank you it's a pleasure. You know better than anyone how much the joys of life are not necessarily in the past, but very often in the future. You seem to be both boys in solidarity and who, you prepare, whatever happens to you, a bright future. This is what we wish you. Thank you for being present on set. Thank you for your confidence. We'll let you go. Hi Anthony, hi Mickael. It is a pleasure to meet you. We have always watched your show. Thank you really. We keep in touch. You both head back that way. Bye. - See you soon. Here there is a lodge. In this box, there is a Rebecca. There's only one, she's there. Generally, next to her, there is someone. There is someone. There is even Manon who accepted the invitation. Good morning. - Hello Manon. They rehearsed a lot to respond exactly simultaneously. A week of rehearsal. It was perfect, congratulations to you. How are you, Manon? - A little stressed, but it's okay. Do you know the show? - Yes. Do you know why you are here? - Yes. You know it ? Someone invited me, I don't know who. You don't know who it is. - No. She has no idea, she says she lives it as an experience. Which is a good thing. It's true that meeting Laurent Fontaine is an experience. We let you do it a little better knowledge. You will see that Rebecca is a charming person. Yes. - Adorable. We are going to close the connection with the lodge to welcome the person which has an important truth to say to Manon. It's someone who does a very particular approach, Pascal, that we would all have loved a little to do in our life. It's someone's approach who met in his youth a young woman, who fell in love, who dated her, except that it was a long time ago that he hasn't heard from her. This young woman, it's her that we just saw in the dressing room. His name is Alexander. We applaud him. Hi Alex. - How are you ? Sit down. Good morning. - Sit down. I have already just told a little bit about what is at stake in your story. Yes. - You're nervous. Yes, very nervous. You shouldn't. Very nervous ? - Yes, a bit of everything. Terrific, magnificent. Honestly, I'm happy to be here. - THANKS. To see you elsewhere. - That's also great. Manon, we just said it, At what age did you meet her? I met him when I was ten. To college. - That's it. At school. - Yes, in fifth grade. What happened in fifth grade with Manon? The first time, I met him in the courtyard of my college, it was in Le Roux. I was next to her. She was next to me in the same class. Suddenly we started to chat and we started laughing. For twenty minutes, we just laughed. That's how it started. You realized that you liked this young girl, how adorable she was. It wasn't done right away. but after two, three years. Sixth, fifth, fourth. - Fifth, fourth. When did you stop and you passed in fashion, are we going out together? That was rather towards the end of the third. Already a teenager. Yes. - Before the patent. It was around spring and one day we got together, but it didn't last long. It lasted 45 minutes. Fourty-five minutes. - For Laurent, it's been a long time. There is something to create memories in 45 minutes. Yes, it was quick. That's what we call an enlightening relationship. Why 45 minutes? Why 45 minutes? When we kissed for the first time, we had kissed before, but it was the first time where we said we were together. I was afraid of losing her for certain reasons, and I preferred to downgrade, keep the relationship that we had between the two, between love and friendship until then. The eternal story of, is falling in love wrong ruin our beautiful friendship? It's a bit like that. Fifteen years ago, we went out together as our children say, where does it start, when does it start, When does it stop, it’s never simple. We're only fifteen years old, and that's normal that we don't necessarily go far and we ask ourselves lots of questions. You kept this girl in your heart for a very long time. Always. To the point that tonight, you find yourself facing us to tell us, I always in the heart of this young woman. For me, it's been five years now that I know that I am truly completely in love. The other concern, in real life, I can't see her, we tried several times to see each other. The problem is that at the last minute, each time, impossible in the end for us to see each other. I mean, she told me one day that she was going to her nieces' baptism. It can be understood, but there were times when it was weird. Was she always the one canceling? Yes. That means when you got it or seen since you were fifteen, you never told him, I still have you in my heart? The problem is distance. Time is running out. Where do you live ? I am studying in Toulouse. Where is she? - Near Valençay, in Indre. Pinard country. - A little bit, yes. That's it, and cheese. Cheese, of course. You speak, you. Don't you say to yourself even though if, each time, she finds an excuse, if she doesn't call you back when you call it, maybe this is a bad sign? She lets me see signs which make people understand that she wants to see me again. Like what ? I learned indirectly last summer from his parents, that she wanted to see me again during the summer. The parents ? It's her dad who told mine who told me. Yes ? You have no relationship with her. You were out for 45 minutes, but the parents are there. That's it. Well in place! - Yes. Why didn't you take advantage of it? to ask that the father-in-law, ask the other father-in-law daughter-in-law's phone number and you don't call him and you say, that my parents met yours. Do we see? I tried. I told her, if she wants let's see each other, no problem. She said ok. I knew it would be like the other times and we won't see each other. Sorry excuse me. It was the last summer vacation where the parents met. Yes. The In-Laws 45 Minutes. - That's it. In-laws once, forever. There she wanted to see you next summer ? No, last summer. Direct ? - Yes. Did you miss the opportunity? - I asked him. She told me yes, but after that, nothing special. I have a question everyone asks. Are you sure that she is not already engaged, and well engaged, that she may not have want to show a boy from his past in his life today? The only thing I know, for me, what I know, I think she is with someone for two years. What I mean, that's because if I'm here tonight, my approach is independent of this boy I don't know. Of course. - I mean, whatever… You mean that you don't blame him. No not at all. There is no photo of him where you put a dart in him, “Die. Die. » There's just one voodoo doll. - That's it. What I mean, whether she is with someone or not, the process will be the same, what I want to tell him tonight will be the same too. That is to say, I am in love from you for years. That's it. - If you want me, I'm here. Roughly speaking, that’s it! - That I want to see her again. We've all been in love, we know. This is how to be in love... - Remind me what it's like. What's it like to be in love? of someone we never see? You say you have it in your heart, you never see it. We think about her all the time. Like, do you think about her in the morning? - Yes. Yes, morning, noon, evening. Even in the evening before going to sleep? - Yes, it can happen to me. All the time. When you have three-quarters of an hour to waste, Fourty-five minutes, you think of her. Yes. - Do you talk about it around you? My family doesn't know. - We understand better. Romeo and Juliet. My family doesn't know. They already are, since they spoke to others. His dad spoke to my dad, but not more. Are they friends? No, it's just that he sold a motorcycle to his father and they met. They know each other, they know that you were close back then. Yes. - Is it that… I hope he didn't scam her, otherwise, your story starts very badly. Yes, otherwise it will be complicated. Subsidiary question. Did you have other flirtations, other stories? No, I am completely faithful. - You are totally focused. Yes, I am completely faithful. Never had any others. Anyway, when you have someone in your heart... Completely faithful. - Yes. To a form of an imaginary friend, if I dare say so. Yes that's it. You would speak with your fingers would be the same. Hello Manon. Pardon, but this is not a mockery. It's somewhat true. - Yes. How did you not interested in other girls? Dare I say, in the meantime. She's always in my head. At this point ? - Yes. You have never met another girl who dislodged you... I tried to search. From the head this childhood love. - I did not find. What are you doing ? I am training to become forecasting engineer, at Météo France. Finally, we will have good forecasts. We're finally going to know someone to yell at when it rains. It’s a serious, scientific profession. You went to college, a school perhaps specialized, engineers, etc. These are mixed schools. There are young women. There are parties. Of course, but no, it does not change anything. No young girl came flirting with you one day and you told him, no I am sorry. I have my imaginary friend who is there. Never ? - No. However, you are charming. - THANKS. It's not like you looked like Laurent. No. I won't say that. - He is nice. He says, I won't say that. - I do not think so. No. There is no reason that people don't come to you, unless you make sure that people don't want to come to you. Which means you are not open. Yes, I am very closed, since my heart is already taken. How long has it been you haven't really seen it up close, from photos, etc., in real life? It was a year and a half ago. It was at the funfair in my village where I saw it on bumper cars. When I saw him, I rushed at him because I was very happy to see her again and, in the end... I was really happy to see her again. There was better to do than rushing at him. It is not with real cars, so that's fine. You see her in bumper cars. At the end, I don't see her anymore. I don't know where anymore Did she pass? You didn't run over him? No no no. Didn't you stamp? Always not. - Not as I remember. No, you don't stamp not elsewhere, you. You saw each other… Wait, let's do the scene again. You are on bumper cars. Look at these bumper cars. I'm in a bumper car. I see you, I say, Pascal, who I haven't seen in 20 years and boom, I stamp you. Not 20 years old. - It's true that I did that. When she sees you, what face does she make? She is happy, but then she disappears. You are my idol, I adore you. She is happy, she gives you a big smile, etc. She goes too a little about you or not? Yes a bit. You didn't offer him, cotton candy, churros. He didn't have time. A candy apple. She was with her boyfriend. Wait, everything is explained. She was with her boyfriend, maybe she's going away quickly, because she doesn't want her boyfriend knows you exist. Have you seen your little friend? I saw him. - How is he ? Heavy-duty. One meter 90, karateka. I only saw his back once. - You have nothing against him. No nothing at all. Just get him his girl. His girlfriend. I remember that he was the first Alexander in place. Fourty-five minutes. It leaves you wondering. Pensive, 45 minutes. You didn't imagine it could last. How can we say! The good news is here. The bad, she left again. No that's not true. The bad news is that she remained forty-five minutes in our studios and she said goodbye to us. Just because you obviously have to discuss this possibility, even if we don't want it, will you be able to to turn the page if ever, tonight she tells you, listen, I love him very much, you are a good friend, but it must not happen something between us? I would have been at the end of the process. It will help you turn the page. Yes. - We make the issue clear. You want to have a story with her. Yes. You don't want to be his boyfriend. - No, I'll go all the way. Story lasting over 45 minutes. That's it ? - Yes. Pascal, are you ready? - Of course, as usual. We're here for you, Alexandre. Be good, be strong. We'll leave you for a moment. - THANKS. We close the curtain behind us in control. Thank you so much. We're going to find Rebecca's dressing room. Rebecca, Are you still with Manon? She wants to leave, so i think that I will ask him… To find you again. All right. - Not leaving… We were afraid that she wants to leave. She wants to find you. I will ask you to get up, Manon. You will follow Sam and the truth is just down the hall. All right. Come join us Manon. How are you ? - How are you. Delighted to meet you. This is Laurent. - How are you ? Welcome. - Sit down there. Welcome Manon. First time on TV? Yes. - Never ? Never, never, never. - Great experience or not? Yes, I follow this show a lot. It's true ? - Yes. For a long time, then it’s also a little dream that comes true. I'm happy. - First good point then. Were you well received? - Very good, yes. No idea who the person is Who has a truth to tell you? I have no idea. Although I think, I do not know at all. I don't know. What are you doing ? I am a caregiver with children with disabilities. Yes, great job. I offer you a first clue? - Yes. Do you know where it's happening? - Yes. Up there. - Someone is going to ask you a question. Manon, do you think that happiness is sometimes hidden in the unknown? Happiness in the unknown. This is the unknown for you, here. Yes, totally. - It's a form of unknown. The clue will tell you that there is a part of your happiness which can be discovered on this plateau. Yes. - I will see the face of happiness. Wait, don't move. He has a good head. It's a man or a woman behind? I don't know. - According to you. Maybe a man. Why a man? I don't know. I didn't think about looking anymore at the level of men and women. It is true that That was my first idea at the start. I don't know. When you watch the show, Who are you watching it with? With my parents. Do they like it too? - They love. How they are called ? Bruno and Nathalie. Bruno and Nathalie. - Yes. Can we kiss them? - Yes. Nathalie and Bruno, we kiss you. You know what will happen now? You will discover the face of a woman or a man that you may not know or that you may know. Your first mission will be to try to find out who it is and say who it is. All right ? - All right. If you want it, because you can also leave now. Are you the kind to run away a little? No I'm here, so it's to know. You go for it. - Yes. Let's go. I know him. Do you know this young man? - Yes. Yes yes. What's his name ? - Alexander. Where do you know him from? From college. We've known each other since middle school. Since fifth grade. Yes that's it. A little more beard? - Yes. It's been a long time that we didn't see each other. Glad to see it? - Yes, I'm happy. I am very happy. You have questions. Yes. You want to know what does he have to say to you? Of course. - Do you want to hear it? Alexandre, it's your turn. - It's yours. You have time that you want. Take ten minutes, a quarter of an hour, half an hour, 45 minutes. It's for us, it's a gift, It's free, it's at the bar. You hear me ? Yes, I hear you. First of all, I thank you for coming. It's normal. I brought you on set because I wanted to see you. It's been a while that I want to see you and I can't do it. I brought you here. I came to tell you things maybe you already know. I miss you. I'm thinking of you, it's stronger than me. I can not do anything about it. Everything we did, I miss it a lot, and I want it to continue. Because I have a lot of trouble to get there when you're not there. It's been going on for years and I don't understand. It's stronger than me. Then there is one thing that I never told you, because I never wrote it to you, I never told you by text. I just wanted to tell you in front, that you are in front of me, face to face, having my full attention. I'll tell you, I love you. It's crazy. I know you are with a boyfriend and it's been two years. I know it, but I would like to tell him, moreover that he has nothing to do with it at all. He doesn't know me, I never saw it. Maybe he knows I exist, but if you leave the curtain closed tonight because you consider that it is not possible, I would understand it perfectly and I wouldn't blame you. So. It makes me feel good to see you. Since the time that I wanted to see you. It's weird. It's a boy we discovered later with the other side. A big emotion. He told us some pretty beautiful things, quite pretty, quite unexpected too, namely, we have known each other since middle school and you had a sneak romantic encounter, quick, when you were really teenagers. He told us, I never forgot him and I always had it in my heart, even to the point of never having started another story with another girl. When we tell him, handsome guy, beautiful eyes. He studies, he's going to be a meteorologist, etc., he must have student parties, he must be successful, he told us, no. That if he doesn't meet other girls, it's because he always has you in his heart when making a decision. So it's impossible for him to maintain a relationship with another girl than you. It's a little unexpected, a little strong, but you see in his eyes this evening, for the emotion, that he doesn't cheat, that he is really in a strong emotion. I know he's sensitive compared to that. I know him. He also told us something else. It’s because he was taking a bit of a step last chance tonight, by bringing you onto this set, with all the importance that it represents, all the ceremonial around, etc., the fact of declaring his flame in public, in front of millions of people, but that it was also because he had the feeling that many times, you almost saw yourself, you seemed to agree to see it and each time, there is something preventing it. Does this feeling who is there only at the same time, you wanted to see it and each time, you gave up, is that justified? It's true that we have a relationship. So. You heard it, we felt it. I think you know that. He has a real feeling for you, important, deep and for a long time. I'll let him speak, let him tell you things again. The fact that you open or not the curtain tonight, it matters special for him, which is not simply to see you again like this and pass a little moment with you, etc. You understood that, I imagine. - Yes yes. If I came here, it's really to go until the end of the process. In my opinion, It’s so we can go out together. I think there are no other words. Afterwards, I know that the situation is very special, I know it well, but I'm going to the end. For me, the curtain symbolizes this request that I make of you. We see enough stories on this plateau for so many years, but it's true that a deep feeling at the level of that that Alexander feels for you, and no one doubts of his sincerity obviously, it's quite rare, quite beautiful and, I think, quite flattering, anyway, quite rewarding for you. It is true that I think I've known for years that he felt something for me, but I didn't want to to hurt him. I couldn't tell him that it was not reciprocal. Maybe that's why that I ran away a little and that I didn't want necessarily see it. I can't blame you. - I didn't want to hurt you. I know that for you, keep a friendship will not be possible. Maybe that's it. Not right away, anyway. but we must never insult the future as the saying goes. You are ready to make a decision? Yes. - Yes ? As I speak to you and you look at me, do you have a decision? Whether you are going to open the curtain or not. Yes I know. I will ask you to stand up, Manon, facing the curtain. There is a little bit or a big piece of your past who is on the other side of this curtain. It's Alexander, this college friend, this college flirt who was also a friend who mattered to you. He came to tell you feelings he has for you for years, tonight, and you ask to live a love story with him. We understood well that you told us that the feelings were not necessarily shared. Is it that Do you leave this curtain closed? Yes. - Do you leave it closed? Do you want to say a word? Yes, never mind that we can, if he feels capable. Not that I don't want to see him anymore. That's because I have my life and I want to stay with the man I currently love. It's not against you and one day, we can see each other again, without worry, but the feelings are not reciprocal. I hope that It won't hurt you too much. On the contrary, at least it is clear. Yes. The truth is important, Manon. It is also important, sometimes, to give answers and to have them. Thank you for accepting Alexander's invitation. Bye. - See you soon ! We're going to open the curtain. Alexander. - No regrets. She still gave you the best reason in the world so as not to open the curtain. Put yourself in his place and place from her boyfriend this evening, who hears this. Not sure that he would have been happy, especially if he likes it as much as you like it, that she opens his heart to someone else. I still had the feeling that you still matter to her. Not as you would like, but anyway, that you are a friend that she would like to keep in her life. Maybe we have to arrive to turn this page, because you deserve to be happy, to find someone who loves you like you, you love it. You know what they say among meteorologists. We are in the business, the weather. After the storm... There is good weather. Thank you so much. - That's all we wish for you. We'll let you go. In any case keep this sincerity and this strength. If it doesn't serve you with her, it will be useful to you with another one. Thank you so much. - Have a safe trip home. Thank you so much. - Bye. As at every end of resignation, This is the moment you like. You love every moment, but not this one anymore, it's when we come back to a story from the first version of the show. That's a story which touched us enough at the time, which has millions of views on social networks for two, three years that only the truth counts is flourishing again like that on digital. It was Laetitia's story. An absolutely brilliant young woman who had never seen his mother. She had been abandoned to social assistance, then in a host family. It took us many months to find his mother whose name was Murielle. It was on our set that she saw for the first time his mother. It's a sequence that we remember all with enough emotion. We are going to receive Laetitia 20 years old later in a few moments. Look at the story. How are you ? - No. Good evening Laetitia. Sit down. Laetitia, I ask her if she’s okay as I tell the people I receive and who I shake hands with first, she told me, no. Tensed? - A little bit. Twenty years without seeing your mother. You are 25 years old. More than 20 years practically. You've never seen her. She left you in a home when you were born, and for four years, she came to see you from time to time. You have no memories, but you know. What do you know about her? You know what of this mother? What did we tell you? I know she was young, that she didn't have the means to raise me. She really did what she thought best. Afterwards, she fought as she could, so to speak, since she tried in different ways, since there was still three trials subsequently. She was all the way of these means. She was rejected each time. - Exactly. At 18, you open your file as having the right and you discover this story and you discover that your mother always refused that you are adopted, as if she wanted to keep hope one day she gets you back. It's true that when I left, I took my independence, I asked to see my file and from there, I really learned the end of the story. At what age did you become aware that your adoptive family wasn't your biological family? I always knew it, since until I was thirteen, I was named after my biological mother. Even before this adoption, things were very clearly said. Do you often think of her? You imagined it, could you imagine it? In all honesty, thinking of her, yes, imagine it no, since not having no landmarks at all, I preferred not to imagine. Today I can't imagine either so as not to be disappointed, I prefer to be surprised. - She has no face in your head. You don't give him a face. Not at all. This face, are you ready, this evening, Laetitia, to find out? You know, we told you, that we succeeded, at the end of our investigation, to find Murielle. You will, if you want, for the first time in your life, being able to see this mother's face. Are you ready now? - Yes. Hence the approach. Watch with us, please, meeting Daphne with your mother Murielle. Laetitia, open your eyes wide. You will finally be able to discover Murielle’s face, this mom who missed so much in your life. Come on, let's go, we'll find Murielle. She's there. Good morning. Are you Murielle? - Yes. I am Daphne It's only the truth that counts. I bring you this invitation. You are invited to the set. Someone wants to tell you something. - Yes. What does that make you feel? Funny effect, especially since we don't know who knows. Any idea who is inviting you? - No. If you keep it to yourself, a little idea? Maybe. Daphne was wondering if you were going find yourself in his gaze. It's the case ? It's a lot of emotion in a short time, so I wouldn't be able to say. What did you experience when we called you to tell you that we had identified Murielle, that we knew where she was and that she would certainly be present on the tray ? It was a bit as if there was a falling burden. You want What to tell him this evening, Laetitia? Which place do you want to be in his life? Which place Do you want it to fit in yours? I would say that I already wanted to see her, just to put a face to a name. Afterwards, the future will tell us what will happen. At least we get to know each other and let's try to discover commonalities. You believe that when she sees you she goes straight away know who it is? I think. I imagine this evening is one of the most important of your short life. It's one of the important evenings. We hope he will be happy, Let us join the party and help you in those moments. We see in your eyes, that it is important. We leave you some small moments, but they are not just a few short minutes after these 25 years, and we find Murielle alongside Daphne. See you soon. - See you soon. The curtain closes and the connection with Daphne's dressing room is open again. I am delighted to be at Murielle's side. Thank you for accepting our invitation. When I came bring you this invitation, I had the impression that you were moved at the same time and at the same time relieved. Am I wrong ? No. I'm not wrong ? - No. Why did you look so relieved to see us at your door? To see us? Maybe it's because the person that I will find, I've been waiting for a long time. You are ready to answer to these questions too? Yes. You came to listen, but also to respond? Exactly. - All right. Earlier you told me that happiness is just down the hall. It's not happiness, It's the truth. For the moment, I invite you to listen to it. I ask you to get up, follow Sam and the truth is just down the hall. Ok thank you. Good evening. - Good evening. Are you doing well ? - Alright. Let me introduce you to Laurent. - Good evening madam. Sit down. - THANKS. Thank you for coming. Someone wants to talk to you, it turns out on the other side of that curtain right now. Yes. - There, just a few meters away. An important step for this person. We hope she will be too, like you said, that happiness is just down the hall. In any case, that's the goal of this show, even if, sometimes, this curtain remains closed. Let's not also forget that the curtain is closed in life for the people who come here. What makes you have doubts? and a doubt so visibly precise, even if you don't want to really talk about it yet? How do you explain? There are several people who I haven't seen for a long time, but including one that is close to my heart. You want to tell us about the identity from the person or do you keep it first? For now, I'm keeping it. It's your right. I suggest you listen to a question which will be asked to you. It’s happening up there on the screens. - All right. Murielle, are you the type leave it behind or live with it? You are the type to leave everything behind? No. I can leave, but also live with it. Leave without forgetting. - So. A second clue, Pascal? - Look at the second one. Murielle, do you believe that in life, we always have the choice ? No. - No ? No. - You didn't always have a choice? Not always. - YOU. Me, personally, yes. More than others, do you have the feeling? Maybe Does this still confirm? - That perhaps confirms, yes. This confirms enough to make you want to open these screens on the other side of the board? You know you are free to leave it there, Murielle. No, no, I'll go all the way. Look at the screens again. The face of him who is there, who invites you to this plateau, will appear there. Yes. This is the person I believe. That means she's my daughter, my child. I recognize her by her eyes. - Do you recognize her by her eyes? To his eyes. This young woman is 25 years old. - Yes. Her name is Laetitia. Exact. A first name that you chose for her 25 years ago. I no longer called him Titi, 25 years ago. Titi. - Tweety, yes. A first name that you only gave him four years, time to see her a little. Exact. - Then never again. She is still so beautiful. I am very happy. Yes. You want to know what did your daughter come to tell you this evening? Yes. Laetitia, I'm not going to call you Titi, it's your turn to speak. Good evening. - Good evening Laetitia. We're going to try to be familiar with each other, it will be simpler. Yes exactly. I came this evening, I think, as a priority, to put a face to a name. I also came with the idea let us get to know each other. I'm not here to judge, because I don't have to judge anything. I know the story. We simply, I think, lots of things to say. I also have a little boy who would be maybe happy to see his grandmother. I think we have things to do together. I think so too Laetitia. Lots of things to catch up on. I wanted you to know that I have always missed you very much. I made a very hard choice few years ago. I suffered a lot and I think you do too. I think it will happen what will happen. Let's leave the past where it is. Let's go to the future which will be much better, I think. Yes I think it too. What is your little boy's name? His name is Yanis and he is six years old this year. Alright. Murielle, is this a situation that you have often dreamed of, that of finding you finally facing Laetitia? Even if it's for now, via television screens. Hugely, hugely. It's been 22 years that I think of her very much. It is true that I had to leave her given my situation. Laetitia doesn't know much, but she knows that in any case, you fought at one time to try to get her back, to regain your rights as a mother, and that you were prevented from doing so. She discovered that not ago a very long time and I think... She told us that it had reassured him enough. It's true that Laetitia, It was very hard when I left you. A very difficult divorce, without work. She was very young and I couldn't keep you, unfortunately with me. When I could, I wanted to see you again. I was always told no. So. - I know it. I know, since I had my file, I read the story. I knew it, I read it. At no time, even without having read the file, I have not judged. I would say that currently, if I took this step, to go through a TV set, it's not necessarily obvious to tell that. Because I was at the end of my research and that I no longer had any options. So I tried my luck. Listen, I'm so happy, Laetitia, you can't know. Maybe I don't look very like it, but I'm really happy of the approach you took. Do you have other children? - No. Laetitia was unique and it always will be. In every sense of the term. - Yes. Murielle, as desired the principle of this show, I'm going to ask you to get up, please face the curtain. A curtain which symbolizes 25 years, in any case more than twenty-one years spent far from Laetitia. Tonight she took the step to abolish all these years and this distance. You can leave this curtain closed. You can obviously open it. No, I'll open it. I've waited long enough. Go for it. THANKS. My daughter, I adore you. The magnificent reunion by Laetitia and Murielle. We will now receive on the set, 20 years later, Laetitia and her family. His three daughters. - Perla, Stella and Sony. Are you okay, Laetitia? - How are you. Hello girls. - THANKS. Hello Laurent. - Hi little one. You three are so cute. Yes. How are you ? - How are you. Laeticia, we just saw this memorable sequence a sequence that caused a lot of leaks of ink and tears, since that time. You just saw her again. It always makes you the same feel like seeing this sequence again? It always makes the same impression and beyond that, no regrets. Glad to have done it. - Without regret ? Why does could you have had regrets? When we do this kind of show, you don't have to wait. We must accept others as they are and not be demanding. For me, it’s in this approach that I had done it. You have found your mother with us, on our plateau, Afterwards, I said it earlier, weeks of research at the time. You almost didn't have it never seen, if ever seen. What happened after you left the set with her? We formed a bond, we got to know each other. Slowly, quietly. Slowly, we evolved together. We talked a lot, exchanged, accepted, because it is not obvious. We arrive as a woman, with a child, with his life that has been built, with perhaps requests that the other cannot provide for protection. So, you have to learn to grow up, to evolve and advance this relationship already between the two of us, to be able, afterwards, to evolve this relationship differently. We know it, because we present, this show for a very long time, lots of moms or dads who abandoned or who did not take care children properly, live with terrible guilt, even when they find contacts. In addition, being on TV, being the abandoning parent is terrible. It's an image that we don't want to give back. Was this the case for your mother? She also lived on this side, I feel guilty and in my relationship, that I rebuild, I still have this depth of guilt. She got it, but I dare to think that I have been sufficiently benevolent so as not to make him feel and to move on. Once the story, we knew her, we pass. You have lived a story with your mom who lasted a long time. You stayed with her almost 20 years, after your stay here. Yes after. Information must be provided. Otherwise, with pleasure, we would have invited her on this set today. Your mother died few months ago. The story is closed, in quotes today, of course, even if it remained open in your heart. Above all, what are these three wonders? Did your mother know them? - Yes. She knew them. - Sony, Stella and Perla. That's it. - Who is Sony? It's me Sony. -Sony. Are you the biggest? - Yes. How old are you ? - I'm sixteen years old. Sixteen years. - I'm Stella. I'm fourteen. - Fourteen years old, and Perla. How old are you Perla? - Six years. You all are too beautiful. Laetitia, Murielle was a beautiful grandmother, a happy grandmother? Yes, yes, it was A grandmother, and that allowed him to also alleviate a lot of suffering. It allowed him to have a real role, since in education that we gave them, they knew the story. They heard the story, but in parentheses, it was not their story, but mine. There was a real connection from grandmother to granddaughters. My eldest son is not present, but who was there at the time, he knew the before and after. That was nice for him too. to discover a new grandmother. Girls, you are from the generation very digital, very connected. I imagine that your mother's story, you saw it on YouTube, you saw it on Facebook, you saw it on Tiktok. She is very present on digital and this story was seen and reviewed millions of times. You found your brave mom in this process? I do. Honestly, it did something to me when I watched the show. You had a little sad for her? You thought about his childhood which wasn't easy, etc., right? How lucky you are, all three of you and your older brother, to have a mother near you. This is not the case of everyone. - Yes that's it. Do we talk to you about it at school? - Me no. They don't make the connection. - Glad she did. It needs to be done. It's amazing, We seem to have found you. You mean that she has changed less than us. Yes, much less. We have the impression to find yourself as if it were yesterday. It's incredible ! You have the feeling that it changed your life from the time where has she been with you? Yes of course. It changes the course of life, since from that moment on, we put words to situations, we put words to a character, we put words to lots of things. Because also, we evolve with mom's friends and they say, damn, I find your mother when I see you doing that. There are moments of life which are captured like this, which are still great interesting and enjoyable. It lets us know who we are and, somewhere, where we come from. That too is still important, despite everything in life. We saw in the replay of this sequence, happiness on his face to find you. It was one of the happiest days of his life. It's true that there, unfortunately she died, but it made it possible to discuss with some of his friends who told me that there was a before and one afterwards, even for her. It was also something super intense. It was coming to close an injury she lived with since many years. She told us that on set. He was questioned about that. She told us that it had always tormented her, this abandonment and the fact that she didn't take care of you. I think that was one way too, to find a little light. Yes, and one way, parentheses, to forgive herself and that there was no judgment. That's the most important thing for me. - You remained beautiful. You have three daughters absolutely magnificent. I imagine you are very happy today. I am, indeed. It's a pleasure to have had witnesses, long time ago and who are full of happiness and who are radiant like you are. Girls, you are so beautiful. It's obligatory to be on TV. In 20 years, you will come and tell what it felt like for you to move into 2024 in It's only the truth that counts. Thank you anyway. - Lots of kisses to the eldest too. Thank you so much. - We'll let you go. Thank you Laetitia. Hello Darling. You are too pretty. - Attention, hop. Hi. Thank you so much. - See you. It's on this sequence very moving, Laurent, that the show must be closed. Yes, we're going to separate. We will say goodbye and thank you to the public who, once again this evening, was with us on this set to live live things from the show. See you soon.
