Good evening. Good evening, what a pleasure. What a welcome. Good evening Laurent.
- Good evening Pascal. Are you doing well ?
- Good evening everyone. Only the truth matters, this is the show that resembles us
and which brings us together on C8. Good evening to you who are watching us
comfortably installed in your home. A new show,
a new evening of emotion, of laughter, tears, joy,
happiness, open curtains as often as possible, and then, a dressing room with our charming Rebecca,
always faithful to the post. Rebecca, are you there?
- Yes, I am with a boy, his name is Mamadou. Good evening Mamadou.
- Good evening. A former professional footballer. Sportsman, therefore.
- Former sportsman. Yes quite.
- Do you know the show well? I know her. You are happy
to be next to Rebecca? Very happy,
very delighted and impatient to discover… Who invites you.
- Exactly. Do you have a little idea? Honestly, not at all.
I don't know at all. We will leave you in suspense
and waiting, Mamadou. Then we're going to close the lodge
of Rebecca in an airtight manner, so that you don't hear
the first name of the person I am going to quote now,
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for receiving it,
she is Léa. Are you okay Lea?
- Good evening and welcome. THANKS. Léa, you have a story
who touched us a lot, us and our team,
Of course. You called us
weeks ago to tell us everyday life, if I dare say, and the terrible adventure
of some young women. It is a problem
which affects young women more than young men, anorexia. You were a teenager who lived, who has gone through this eating disorder,
and it caused you damage extremely complex. Yes, there was harassment,
there was a very toxic boyfriend, there was also plenty of mockery,
the death of my uncle, we were close, and it made like a big cocktail,
and it exploded. I started by doing
a simple, basic diet. So at the start...
- Were you a little round? Yes a bit.
- Like many teenagers? Yes, training myself. There, all of a sudden,
you have heard horrors, I imagine, on your weight
or on your forms, and you decided, at that moment,
to take charge of yourself, you thought, go on a diet
and a somewhat strict diet. You don't take
things half in hand, since in a few months,
you lose 17 kilos. That's it ? What weight did you go to?
- 67 up to 42. It was huge. There is someone
who you think saved your life. Yes. This is the boy we just saw
with Rebecca, Mamadou. Yes, he took time for me, all the time, even when
he was with his children and his wife, he took time to call me,
to comfort me, to cheer me up. He devoted enormously
time for me. We had a very, very close relationship. You consider
that he rebuilt you, saved you. You came to say thank you
after all the trials that you have crossed
during this difficult adolescence. We look at Léa's story
immediately in pictures. Look. Normally, when you are 16,
we are armed with carelessness. We have life ahead of us
and the whole world to discover. But not for Léa. For her, adolescence
is a real nightmare. Victim of harassment
and teasing at school, she only has one idea in mind,
disappear and die. Léa withdraws into herself, she loses all confidence
and sinks into anorexia. Stranger to her own body, the girl
can no longer eat. The months pass, and Léa is no longer
only a shadow of itself. His parents are helpless
facing this serious illness which is eating away at their child. Although they see doctors
and specialists, nothing helps. And then, one day,
Léa discovers on the internet the voice and face of a singular man. Mamadou is a former
top athlete who gives advice to be better
in his head and in his body. This discovery affects Léa
like a click. For her it's sure, she's that person
who will be able to help him. His mother then contacts Mamadou,
who takes Léa under his wing. For a year, little by little,
the young man will help him find her self-confidence
and regain control over your body and get out of anorexia. The long-awaited miracle finally arrives,
Léa is now cured. Six years after his fight,
Léa has not forgotten her distress, nor the support she found
near Mamadou. This evening, Léa came to our set to honor
this incredible man who knew how to give him back his taste for life. It must have been hell for your parents,
this period. I was very, very hurt. We were a destroyed family
anyway. It was very complicated.
It destroyed everyone. What did your college friends tell you?
when they saw you like that, slim down, slim down,
and then frankly, lose weight, lose weight… I think it scared them,
because I lost a lot of friends because of it. Then, I very quickly stopped school
to focus on healing. I think it scared them. I didn't see anyone around me
from high school because of that. You remember
first meetings with Mamadou when he started putting you… I don't know what his method is,
maybe you can tell us about it. We were comfortable, he was like you,
directly we speak normally, we cover all the subjects and then,
he addresses the problems. Speaking with you, he will analyze that you have such a problem
in what you are saying, which needs to be repaired
before starting the big problem. He took care of all the little problems
next door, harassment, death, toxic relationships,
and that cured anorexia. All this in barely a year. The transformation took place
in the other direction again. Rebecca went to bring him
your invitation, but he doesn't know it's you. Watch the reaction. We are in Paris,
Austerlitz station. This station was inaugurated in 1840
under the name of Gare d'Orléans, then renamed in 1852,
Austerlitz station, in honor of Napoleon's victory. I'm here to deliver this invitation
to Mamadou, with whom I have an appointment in front of the station. I think he's there. Excuse me ! Hello, are you Mamadou?
- That's it. I'm Rebecca from the show
Only the truth matters. I give you this invitation.
- THANKS. Hoping to see you again
very quickly. Of course, I would be there with great pleasure.
- Thank you so much. What would you consider it to be,
like a sports coach, a nutritionist or a psychologist? No, not like that at all,
but like a hero, like a doctor. Like a doctor
who treats patients. Why did you trust him? Because as soon as I saw it,
as soon as I heard him speak, I knew he was the one who would take care of me,
I can't explain it, it was him. I don't know the subject well.
I don't have any children... I have daughters, however,
but not affected by this type of problem. Why does it affect girls more? There are also social networks
who play a lot. The fact that we see girls
often retouched, always well made up,
the luscious mouth, it creates complexes. The image we send back
in social networks, of women in general,
we model her like a mannequin, while there are all forms. I mean
whether you are skinny or fat, I mean, it's beautiful
and there's nothing wrong with that. Today you have the feeling
to have escaped completely from hell? Yes, totally.
I am completely cured of that. It's nice to see you
in great shape. Congratulations to Mamadou!
We'll let you thank him. Find it,
above all, bring him here. See you soon.
- Yes. We're going to close the curtain behind us,
we will reestablish the connection with the lodge from Rebecca who may have learned
some juggling in the dressing room. We talked about lots of things, but Mamadou
really wants to join you. We really want him to come. I think that's what we're going to do.
I'm going to ask you to stand up. You will follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. Good evening Mamadou and welcome. This is Laurent. Former high-level athlete,
why did you stop? An injury as often,
Unfortunately. The usual injury of the fucked up? Yes, it's true
that it was a cruciate ligament, as well as the fifth metatarsal. I didn't know this one,
I didn't even know it existed. It's in the foot.
- I suspect it, but it works. Like all athletes
high level, you have reconverted,
I imagine, still in football, still a coach... No way.
For now, it's totally different. I found much more meaning
to help certain people in their lives, in their journey,
in their quest for meaning, and today,
it is true that we can consider that I am a life coach and speaker. Sports coach too. I also accompany. An almost obligatory mix
if we want to be pious. Exactly. The mind, the holy body
and the holy spirit. You told us that you didn't have
no clear idea of the person who brings you here this evening. Could it
be someone from your past? A love declaration. I don't think about the declaration of love,
I'm thinking more of a person that I could potentially help
in his life journey. Who would come and thank you? I don't think about that anymore.
- All right. Why not a declaration of love? Good question,
because I don't expect it. You have someone
in your life right now? I have someone. We do not wish
let it be a declaration of love. Exactly, we don't need it. Do I offer you
a clue, Mamadou? Yes I want. Look at this screen,
someone will ask you a question. Mamadou, which of your five senses
is the sharpest? So listen to it... For a coach, this is important. Exactly, yes. At least two senses that work well,
it’s listening and speaking. We totally agree.
This is what comes to me straight away. You are also someone
who knows how to listen, who knows how to hear. I think it's very important
in our perception to see things, to know how to listen
and to be able to offer a presence to the person with whom
we offer our time. It's true
that I mainly did something essential. What led you
on this path? After your injury,
it became obvious, or is it a meeting? Yes, that was already my depression which followed the end of my career
professional footballer. Leaving at the age of 15
at the training center, I didn't imagine that
It was going to end soon. The end of my career
was very difficult. Then, reading, the different people
who allowed me to be where I am today,
which were somewhere references for me and mentors. It allowed me
to develop all this faculty to help others lead a life
which makes a lot more sense to them. For now the first clue
rather shows you the way that you told us recently, saying, maybe it's
someone I helped. Want a second clue?
- I don't mind. To find out if you
confirm your first thought. I don't mind. Look at the screens again. When was the last time
that we made you a beautiful statement? Cash! Are we talking about a declaration of love? You hear it however you want since it seems that
your number one sense is your ear. Put the words you want
on these words. I would say, as recently as this morning, on Instagram, a message,
a DM where I am told of the admiration people have for me. This is a very strong form of statement. It depends,
you take it however you want. It happens to you that you have
people you meet who say pleasure
what do they need to know about you? Especially people
that I was able to accompany, not in the street, no one stops me
to tell me, how beautiful you are. That doesn't exist, but above all
people I was able to help. Want a second clue?
- A third. There have already been two. I never say a second. You can help
people who lose their memory a little? What ? You had two clues,
do you want to know who asked us to invite you
on this set? I'm dying of envy. Us too, I guess the person
who is on the other side of the curtain also really wants to talk to you. We will first discover his face
in these screens. I am from…
Well, it's not me who should speak. Yes, if you are at home. She has to keep quiet
as long as we don't give him the floor. We can give it to her if she wants.
respond to what you are going to say. Go for it ! I am very touched. I think I'm going to get winnowed
in my neighborhood of 93. I don't have the words right now. I think I'll let her talk,
It would take me time to realize. Do you know this young woman? Yes. This is not a declaration of love. No way. Her name is Léa. You want to know
what does she want to tell you? Yes Leah.
- Yes. Mamadou, if I brought you here,
this is to thank you for saving me from anorexia bulimia,
because without you, I wouldn't be here. Take your time, Léa. Thank you for being there for me,
for taking time out of your free time to call me at 11 p.m., midnight, while you had your children
and your wife behind, for having devoted time
for me, to help me, I'm also sorry to have you sometimes spoken badly or not having
always listened to your advice, because in anorexia bulimia,
the disease makes that when we have advice,
sometimes they are our enemies. For me, you were
the one who saved my life. I wanted to thank you properly here and honor all your work, because you deserve it,
you are a very good person. You are an exceptional person. I just wanted to thank you
for saving me from all that. I became someone rebuilt,
I am a new woman, I'm not at all like before,
I had a child. If I hadn't had you,
I would not have had my child, I wouldn't have had this motivation
to get out of it. I really thank you for saving me. It's the mother of this young woman,
who contacted you initially, telling you,
my daughter is going through a period of his life
extremely complicated, deadly. You remember those first calls,
of this first call for help, I was going to say, about his mother,
and then Léa? Of course. It was during confinement, I received an email
which particularly touched me. It was Léa's mother
who shared with me all his distress, of his fears and all his sadness
that she lived through the fact that Léa was anorexic
and she was throwing up at the time six to seven times a day, that she had done everything. It was a mother's cry who didn't know what to do anymore because she had already been
see psychologists, psychiatrists. The specialists.
- Exactly, she had done the trick. It was like his last cry of hope and I think I took
this support like a mission. I felt totally capable,
with humility, to bring him what he needed,
and so I accepted, and it was long, because the Leah we see today, it wasn't the same
when I got it back. It was cold calls, because usually,
in my accompaniments, it is rare that
I give my personal number. I was so touched
by this story that I told myself that I had to give it
and that Léa can call me at any time. I told him that,
before you make yourself vomit, call me, and before making yourself vomit, she called me and I was there. I walked away sometimes,
because it was always in moments where sometimes I was with friends
and I walked away. I spent my time reminding him all these essential things,
and I made him understand how she was already an incredible woman, and the potential she had within her. I always believed in her. I never let go,
even though sometimes, it was very painful. Because she started again in her faults, but she didn't give up, his parents didn't give up,
his brother didn't give up. Today I am so proud
and I'm so happy, because she thanks me,
but it's incredible! It's incredible work
that she was able to do. The main thing for me,
is to see her happy, and it is to see her mother. That’s thanks to her above all else. It is also a message
for all these teenagers who cross
this very difficult period what is this disease of anorexia. Parents, despite all their love, rarely have the solution themselves. To see that we can do really well
and that one can become an accomplished woman, a super fulfilled mother. If we can benefit from your advice. What would you give
as advice to these parents? The first thing,
is to maintain the link, to keep the link,
that is to say to always be able to offer a listening space, because through
what I set up with Léa, she felt loved. There is nothing better
than feeling loved. It's when you feel loved
that we realize our value. How lovable we are.
- Exactly. You should know that anorexia
is an indicator of unhappiness. There is something
deep down which is perhaps, potentially injured
or who is in conflict. You have to hear it
and it requires patience, it requires listening and also
of self-knowledge. When we are able to
create a base with all these things, little by little, over time,
with love and kindness, we manage to become
an exceptional woman like Léa. There are solutions. This is the message
which we will also remember this evening. We will ask you to stand up
as the show wants. Faced with this curtain,
there is on the other side, Léa who came to thank you
for saving him, to have made her,
of the bruised, injured teenager, to this happy and fulfilled woman. I guess you won't
hesitate to open this curtain. I was going to ask you
where I flee. There is no way out.
If you want to leave, you can. If you want to open this curtain,
it will open very quickly for you. Of course,
I would like to open this curtain. We open it. Go for it ! It's nice.
Great, well done! See the woman you have become,
It makes me really happy. Léa, you succeeded
two things this evening, three even. The first one,
is to move everyone here, Laurent and me, the public
and all our viewers, by this beautiful story
and this beautiful approach. The second is to honor
the man who saved you. The third is to ensure let him get carried away for days
because he shed a tear. Thank you for this beautiful moment. Tears are rarely weaknesses. Thank you. Be happy. You go backstage.
Thanks to you two. We will discover
a new story, and see if Rebecca is listening alone
or accompanied in her dressing room. Rebecca.
- Yes. A man, a woman ? A man and a Marseillais. Yes always. You are delighted.
- I'm with Yvan. Half delighted
because Yvan lives in Cannes. He is a Marseillais exiled in Cannes. A traitor ?
- A little. We love the people of Cannes,
we love the Marseillais. Audience at heart. You know why you're in the dressing room
next to a Marseillaise at heart, my dear Yvan? Yes, there is someone
who wants to talk to me. But you don't know who?
- I have doubts about two people. I am not sure
who it could be. A man, a woman ?
- Two women. I told him we can't
have two women behind the curtain. I know, but I think
to two different women. Yvan, for now, we will leave you
with only one wife, it's Rebecca. You have time to talk,
we're going to close hermetically the lodge
so that you don't hear the person's name. Thanks Frank. Is the lodge closed?
- Yes. The person who has a truth
very important to say to Yvan is called… Stacy.
- Thank you for welcoming him. Good morning.
- Hi Stacy, are you okay? I'm ok thanks.
- Good morning. A little stressed?
- A little bit. I feel it when I shake your hand. How are you ?
- Alright. Nice to meet you.
- Thanks me too. You know the show.
Are you looking at it? It's been years.
- Do you love us? Yes, I adore you.
It's nice what you do, especially for me today. Who is this handsome gentleman who is at Rebecca's side
and who thinks of two possible women to have him come this evening? I met him a year and a half ago,
it's Yvan, he is a business manager in Cannes. He's a great man. He is a sportsman,
a little older than me. He is 65 years old. And you ? 40 years soon 25 years apart. 25 years apart anyway.
But I don't feel them. Recently we had a big argument
before leaving for Thailand. We had to go live there. I said things I shouldn't,
I regret very much, and I'm here to apologize. Let us be clear, Yvan has a project
to settle in Thailand to do activities there
linked to tourism. Let's be clear. Normally he should
take you with him. In October, we were supposed to leave together,
but ten days before, we had an argument. It was like he made me
a marriage proposal, to leave, to make my life there. Ten days before,
I fell under emotional shock. I said horrible words to him. What are horrible words?
- Things we regret. That we don't want
to listen again in his head. I would like him to know
that they are just words. What has he decided so far?
To no longer be with you? Already, it is very hard,
he had decided to no longer be with me, not to forgive me anymore. Not to leave with you.
- Yes, definitely. Except that me, my life,
I see her with him. I'm here to get it back
and tell him all the love that I have for him, no matter the age,
no matter the situation. You talk about age
saying that you don't feel it. You don't feel
this difference? Is this a problem for him? That is to say, he is afraid, I think,
to age faster than me, that I abandon him, while
if I have love for someone, it's in full,
this is forever. I don't see things
in the same way as him. Even though he had many women
in his life, I would like to be the last. Do you have children?
- I have a little boy. Shared custody
who is almost ten years old. How he gets along
with your little boy, Yvan? It's going very, very well. When they saw each other,
they were really very complicit. They were fighting, etc., especially since he is a fool,
he taught him Crav Maga, etc. Martial art is a big sport. He goes to the gym three times a week,
he doesn't give up. That reminds me of someone. I got into it too and
we make a good couple goals, I think, and we also made people jealous
in our surroundings. People who, I think,
do not appreciate the relationship, tell us wrong. I came to say
all the love I have for him. He is sincere, he is genuine. So that we understand clearly,
Right now you are separated. Yes, we are separated, we write emails to each other because it stands out
things on Facebook and I am, how can I put it,
outraged by what he marks. What does he score? Just annotations, but I'm sure
that he still thinks of me. Be clearer,
we don't quite understand. You didn't say the horrible words. We hear your modesty,
you don't want to repeat them to yourself. What does it mark
as an annotation on Facebook? Things about women,
that he loves his freedom. That he doesn't answer to anyone. Which means
that he could close the curtain. I'm a little scared. Excuse me, I'm telling you things. Will he dare to show himself
in front of the whole of France with me? I don't know. When you say that, for now,
your relationship was rather discreet. He didn't really accept it? We never disclosed our relationship,
I mean on Facebook, or those around him. We both see each other,
but both, in fact. He has a daughter ?
- Yes. I already met him,
but we share more moments together. A girl who is not far away
to be your age. A little younger than me. How his daughter accepts
your relationship, for example? At first it was a little tricky,
I think, due to age, after that it smoothed out,
when she met me, that was arranged,
she had ignored it. I think that lately,
the subject came up again, since we had shouting matches, etc. I think she will see it
with an older girl, the second one he thought of. You are saying that when Yvan tells us,
I think of two women, he thinks of you possibly,
and he is thinking of another woman? He said two women. Are you the second wife? Are you thinking of someone?
- I know one. I hope the second one is me. Does he have anyone else? There was someone before me,
which is always persistent. But I want the place for myself. Let's be clear,
he will arrive in a few moments since he accepted the invitation,
we saw him with Rebecca. He will sit in front of us,
he will discover you in the screen, if he wishes,
and there, two possibilities are available to him. Either it's you he sees,
we know it’s you he’s going to see, but maybe he will be very disappointed
not to see the second person. We'll see it in his face. What if he ever leaves this curtain closed? I'm going to leave... You will not go to Thailand,
It's certain. I'm not going to be okay,
not in Thailand. When he left in October already,
I thought I was going to die. If he doesn't open the curtain tonight,
I will be very, very disappointed. It means
that you are a young woman, you will have some sort of definitive end,
you will put the end word to this story
if he doesn't open the curtain? I will have to take care of myself. I honestly don't hope so. We don't hope either, of course. We will do our best,
but unfortunately, at some point it's the heart
of the person in front of us who is speaking. We don't have many options
to force this. We will do our best. Especially since he looks tough. Take care. We'll give you some time. You know the instructions, don't speak
if you don't have the floor, even if you really want
to shout your love. See you soon.
- See you soon. Relax, everything will be fine. We're going to close the curtain, in control. Thank you very much Franck Broqua. We will restore the collection
with Rebecca's lodge, which is always
with his Cannes Marseille. Who is quite relaxed
and I honestly think, it's time to go. Yes of course. I'm going to ask you to stand up. You will follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. Come join me. Welcome. Pascal. Let me introduce you to Laurent. Good evening Laurent.
- Hi Yvan. How are you ? Pretty good.
- Sit down. Are you doing well ?
- Alright. Not stressed.
- No, it's okay. Relaxation?
- Yes. You are a fool.
Do you exercise a lot? Yes a lot. At Cannes ?
- Yes for now. What kind of sport?
- Combat sport and bodybuilding. What in combat sport?
- Crav Maga. It is not necessary
to trouble you. Often, those who do combat sports
are very calm, serene, because as my karate teacher said
a long, long time ago, a fight avoided,
It’s a fight won. What wisdom ! That's why you never
doing combat sports. We will avoid them all. You know
why are you here this evening? I have a little idea. I think someone
has something to tell me. I have two people I suspect. Afterwards, I'm not sure of anything. Two women.
- Yes. Are you a ladies' man? A bit though.
- A little. You are single ? Now single. Do you have children?
- A child. Boy or girl ?
- A girl. What's her name ?
- Marine. We kiss him. How old ?
- 32 years old. You want Pascal… The principle of the show,
there are clues. Do you want to
that Pascal Bataille, here present on my left,
gives you a clue? I want it a lot. Pascal, it's yours.
- Thank you Laurent. I suggest you look at these screens,
someone will ask you a question which should normally
put you on the path or not. Yvan, are you generally given this age? Ten years less. That's a good answer. How old are you, Yvan? I am 65 years old.
- 65 years. You are generally given
about fifty years. Age is something
important to you? Aging well? I think it's very important. Aging well and healthy,
I think it's very important. If we summarize the two pieces of information
that we have for the moment, you are a ladies' man,
you look younger than your age, and it is very important to you
to look younger and to maintain you. Does that mean “you play it”? I imagine that when you meet
a young woman… It happens that I
to cheat on my age. Downright ! I can't say I'm 65,
I say I'm around fifty. And it happens. It goes by very quickly. If it passes, we continue. May I offer you a second clue?
- Yes. Look, another question
will be asked to you. Yvan, do you like playing heads or tails? That's a clue. Do you like,
in inverted commas, toss heads or tails,
that is to say from time to time, certain moments of your life like that,
play it on a roll of the dice, a coin that would be thrown into the air
to make a decision? Not really my thing. Are you much more rational?
- Much more rational. Are you weighing your decisions? Today, yes, much less before
when I was younger. Today I weigh a little more
still the decisions. I take the time to take them. Can we find out a little more?
about what's in your head? In short, you are telling us,
I'm thinking of two women. Maybe you could give us
a little clue about each of these women, without saying the first name,
without saying anything ? We don't tell anyone about it. It's rare to think
to two different women. I'm thinking of two exes. Who could come and win you back
as happens regularly here. That's exactly what I'm thinking. There is one of the two
What would you prefer to see? That's not nice. We're not going to ask you which one,
but both could be good ones
or bad news, or is one better than the other? I would have a preference
for one of the two. Brunette or blonde? Both brunettes. I have a possibility, Pascal too,
but it's not me who does it anymore, is that I can pass
from one side to another. I am at home here. So, two brunettes.
- Yes. Both have beautiful eyes? Yes. Do they both seem smiling? More one than the other. She's the one who doesn't smile. - What a tease!
- What luck. ! Me, I love being on a TV set,
possibly wait two women on the other side
and be spoiled for choice. Still dreaming. Or maybe… You are happy in love. Spoiled for choice
or the choice of embarrassment. A choice. I suggest you
to look at those screens again and our favorite director,
Frank Broqua, will be able to pierce the curtain
thanks to its cameras. Is she the smiling one or not?
- It's the smiling one. She has brown hair ? She's more than brown, yes. She's a real brunette. Very pretty woman.
- I confirm. Yes, yes, no doubt about it. So, not extremely surprised to see Stacy
on the other side of this plateau. No more than that. Was that part of your assumptions?
- Yes. All right. Very pretty woman.
- Yes. Very beautiful eyes.
- Yes. You have to stay poker face.
You did see ? It's hard. Do you want, knowing that
you are completely free to say no, listen to what Stacy has to say
tonight on this set? Yes Yes of course. Stacy, it's your turn. Hello Yvan.
- Good morning. I hope you're well,
that you had a good trip. Yes. If I took you here,
first of all it's to apologize of what happened between us. As you say, I'm brunette,
I have a short temper, I went too far
in what I said. I think that
It must be redundant in your head. I'm here to apologize
in front of everyone, in front of you. I hope your loved ones hear it
and that you will allow me to express myself more, since I have reached a milestone. I went too far and yet,
our story was so beautiful. It's been a year and a half
that we were together, that we shared all our moments,
all our hours, all our trips we have taken,
in Marrakech, London, Dubai, all that, sport too
that we share together. It gave me a healthy lifestyle. Then suddenly you let go of me and I felt so lost and I regret so much
what happened. Today for me,
it's an attempt to tell you, I want us to try again,
I don't want you to let me down, I do not want
that you go to Thailand alone, I don't want you to leave me. I want to be there for you
and I don't want to leave you, even if you get older,
you are getting older, I don't care, my heart is with you,
and he is with you forever. I want you to forgive me
all these harsh words and let's start again as before. Its important to me
to tell you that you are a pillar, you are a love, you are a friend,
you can play all the roles and I don't want it to end,
I want to continue, even if it means giving up everything in France,
I am ready to do it and I'm ready to do it
until the end of your life. I know you've had many wives, but I would like to be the last,
If it's possible. That's it, that's the only thing that interests me,
to tell you that I am here for you and I regret my harsh words,
and that I want you to forget and we leave here together
and we go back together forever. I know it's hard because... I do not see you
with someone other than me. I'm trying everything. Too bad for the others. I don't care about others,
I want the place. Great statement.
- Oh yes ! A determined young woman. Very in love? Apparently yes. Who also takes the step
in front of everybody to apologize, to ask for forgiveness
for words. We do not know
and we don't want to know. I know exactly what she's talking about. Of course, but in this case
what is important, this is today's approach
with the hope of course, that you will hear it,
That’s Stacy’s hope. That's why she's here tonight. You were aware of the intensity
feelings she has for you? Not to that extent, no. Oh yes ?
- Not to that extreme. A long time ago
that you know yourself. Yes, but… Did you have a chance to talk? Of course, but with what happened
during our separation, I did not think
that there was love. No, I was far from imagining
that it was that strong. This is very, very good news. Don’t skip steps. For the decision I will make... Stacy, as I speak to you, my darling, is that really... Don't call her too much darling...
- He's going to… He's not with her yet,
They are currently separated. As I speak to you here,
on a scale of zero to ten, zero, he doesn't open the curtain,
ten, he opens it, How many are you? Beware of overconfidence. I am 1000%,
I hope it's at least ten. Ten at least? Is she right?
Beware of overconfidence. The emotional elevator
can go back that way. My question is not only
to know if you forgive me, it's deeper than that. I really want that
you declare your love to me. You're not expansive either. Yes, I want you to go back with me,
but good. You open, you tear off the curtain... I'm tired of always doing
the first step. Let's calm down Stacy. We're on television,
a general audience show. Yvan, I'm going to ask you
to place yourself in front of this curtain, standing. On the other side of this curtain, there is this beautiful brunette
with sparkling eyes who came to do
a beautiful statement, ask you for forgiveness,
but we heard it, she said it very clearly,
she's playing her cards a bit. She says, if you open this curtain,
it's to take me back into your arms and take me with you to Thailand. I will ask you
according to the principle of emission what is your decision:
do you open this curtain or do you leave it closed
as it is now? I open the curtain. Pardon ! Pardon ! What a statement! I'm trembling. It wasn't a given, Stacy. When you arrived,
she wasn't sure of herself at all. You made a very beautiful statement,
you managed to touch Yvan’s heart and to prove your sincerity to him. Difficult to refuse. If I want to titillate
a bit of the file, because it's my role a bit
in this show, there is something
which I didn't really hear from Yvan. Be honest.
Go ahead ! But it's true that you said, I want you to shout our love,
I want it to be official, etc. At the moment I do not have
heard a word from Yvan. It's always like that. Which words ? If I opened the curtain,
I think that says it all. It's his way of saying I love you. We agree, right? The opening of the curtain,
Is this your way of saying I love you? They just kiss. It's going to be hot in Thailand. It's my love. In two months,
it revealed the woman I was. It's true that I don't always have
been happy before. I think he must realize that, that he knows it and you continue,
you don't give up, you don't let me down,
you take me to sports, to Thailand, etc. Beautiful programs. We wish you lots of happiness.
We'll let you go. Arm in arm. You are happy
in Thailand or elsewhere. Give news.
We'll come see you on the beach. All's well That ends well. We will discover
a new story Laurent and reestablish the collection with Rebecca,
see if anyone is standing by him. Are you accompanied? Yes, I am accompanied. From whom? From Theo.
- Good morning. Good evening Theo. Where are you from ?
- From Montpellier. Nice town.
- Yes, a very beautiful city. Beautiful area. You have a little idea
of the person who invites you? A small one, but no more. You're going to keep this
for you for now. Sometimes there are surprises. You shouldn't get too far ahead of yourself. We're going to leave you among people from the south.
Montpellier and Marseille are close. We are going to close
the connection with the lodge to be able to accommodate on this plateau the person who came this evening
tell the truth to our friend Théo. Is the lodge tightly closed? Totally closed. Perfect ! Thank you for welcoming
under your applause, Matthieu. Hi Matthew.
I'm doing well ? Sit down there. How are you, Matthew?
- I'm doing well. THANKS. Stress ?
- A little bit, but it's okay. As much as the young boy
that we just saw with Rebecca? As much as him, yes. This is not the only point in common
that you have, stress. The boy we just saw,
who comes from Montpellier to find out the truth tonight
on this plateau, it's someone who is dear to your heart,
since it is your son. That's it, absolutely. Théo, who you haven't spoken to since
a little over two years now. A little over two years,
since he was 18, where we celebrated our 18th birthday
with my family, we went down to see him
with his friends. For more than… a little message
in May, but that's it. When you tell it,
we have the impression that it was really brutal,
but there was still a gradual distancing
throughout adolescence with Théo, after your separation from his mother. That's it, I was separated,
It's been 18 years, so he was a child. I live near Strasbourg,
so his mom was in the area. We met, Théo was born
and we separated. She returned to her family
and so, after, it was a few times every year. You saw it at the time
like “divorced dads”. It was school holidays,
summer holidays, not a weekend
or every other week. Impossible. What happened two years ago,
when you went to Montpellier celebrate Théo's birthday
with your partner? That's it ? With my wife,
with my sister and my mom. Okay, your companion,
your sister and your mother, so, his grandmother,
a priori, you say to yourself, we're going to celebrate my son's birthday,
Everything will be alright. How did that happen ? Alright.
- Alright. In any case, that's our feeling.
I speak on behalf of the other three. For us, it was really… Everyone had their present,
you blew out the candle... It was with his friends,
with the family from Montpellier. A weekend later,
we saw each other again on Sunday. For us, nothing that presumed
or which presaged two years without news. What happened ?
Nothing at all ? Even in the days that followed,
there was no thought, derogatory remarks
that he would have had a bad experience? No, no, really none. But I think it's a reflection as the daddy,
who was not present when he would have hoped. You mean that
he would be angry with you today, he would have the backlash, in quotes,
of a kind of absence, of resentment linked to this absence, and you are now paying
the broken pots about something that happened before? That’s very well said, that’s it. It should be noted
that you are rather in terms completely cordial with his mother,
there are no quarrels, and that she herself tried
to do a little the ambassador of your request for
reconnect with him, but to no avail. Yes. I pass by her
to hear from him. It's like that. On this side, she said:
When I start talking about you, it’s closing in, there’s a wall,
so I stop. When you send an SMS, for example:
how are you, my son? Something stupid, what does he say to you? He does not answer. He doesn't respond to a text message? I had, as said,
a message in May 2023. The last message, in quotes. A long message
who said he would have liked that I be more present, and all that. He still expressed his grievances,
his reproaches. Once, in May. You have the feeling
that there was a moment in both of your lives
where you were close, where there was really
a nice relationship between you? No, it was more of a buddy buddy, since when he was little,
it's his mother and his grandmother who were very busy. When I saw him,
it was school holidays. During the school holidays, we do activities,
we are going on holidays. I think there is never
really had that connection. If I have to do a little
the outcome of it all, I think it was more
between friends as father and son. This buddy buddy relationship,
that father and son, we tried
to tell it in pictures, look. It's been two years
that Matthieu no longer has contact with his son Théo. The hardest part is that Matthieu
don't really know why. When he separates from Théo's mother,
the little boy is only two years old. He will live with his mother
and moves away from his father. Although the parents remain on good terms,
nothing is the same anymore. Théo only sees his father four times a year
during the school holidays. If at first everything goes well,
with adolescence everything becomes complicated. Théo has the feeling
that his father is not present enough, without really expressing it to him. The last time they saw each other,
It was to celebrate Théo's 18th birthday. Everything is going well
and Matthew does not suspect that this will be the last time
that he will see his son. Since that day,
Théo will no longer come to see him. He will barely respond
to his calls and messages. Matthew doesn't know
what happened. Even though he knows that in recent years,
his son moved away a little. It was a distraught dad who appealed
to Only the truth that counts to understand what is happening
before the links are permanently broken. How will Theo react
following his father's approach? We see it,
a divorced dad relationship, who takes care of his son,
but good relationship all the same. What are you blaming yourself for? You think there are things
that you didn't do or not done enough? Not done enough, that’s for sure. Not getting enough news, not enough
took the time to go see him. I had a baby girl in April 2022 with my wife,
and this link today… take stock of myself and say, I missed…
- You mean failed. I almost, I think
I failed at one point. Theo knows his little sister? Unfortunately, he never saw it. It can't be exactly
the fact that you have a second child who could finally
make him even more unhappy? It's a third,
since I had another one in the meantime, who is 11 years old. No, he was really very enthusiastic
at the idea of his little sister arriving. Then he never saw it. We'll see if he responded
at the invitation of Rebecca. We saw it
in Rebecca's dressing room. Maybe we'll see the sequence
where he is invited. How did he actually react?
when he received a visit of our little blonde
in a red down jacket. Look. With a little more time,
I would have taken you to Montpellier to see the place of comedy,
architecture, but we don't have time and we are in Clapiers
to deliver this invitation to Théo, a young apprentice butcher
20 year old who lives right here. Here we go. Hello, I'm Rebecca
It's only the truth that counts. Are you Theo?
- Yes, I'm Theo. Allow me
to give you this invitation hoping to find you
very soon on our set. I will be there,
Don't worry. It is indeed your son,
what did we just see? It's my son. You believe that the fact
to be on TV, towards his friends, his friends, his private life, put like this
on stage on a television set, is it not to his taste? I think he has the necessary maturity
to sort things out. My approach is sincere,
This is not the last chance. Even if I take it like that,
I need him to hear words, since as he no longer responds,
even to my calls or anything, I don't have the chance now
to tell him which made a little
end of the road in my head for some time. I really want to tell him
and I think that he, he will know how to sort things out. We will abandon you
moments, to find Theo
on the other side of this curtain. Plan carefully what you will say to him, these words that did not come out
at the time. Know what you are going to say to him. I have a vague idea. See you soon.
- Good luck ! THANKS. The curtain will close, Pascal. When the curtain closes... Restore collection
with Rebecca's lodge, where Théo must still be
more relaxed than before. I'm,
Don't worry. Yet just now
maybe he had a guess, now there are 12. So, it's not bad. I relaxed him well.
-You confused him a bit. Theo, I'm going to ask you
to get up. You will follow Sam,
and the truth is just down the hall. Thank you so much. Welcome Theo. THANKS. Theo, you are young.
- Yes a bit. The twenteeth ?
- Yes. It's a craft
Extremely important. You are a butcher.
- Butcher. It's not the same thing.
Caterer. And butcher too. You live in Montpellier.
We know that and we have seen it. Do you know the show?
- Yes. Are you looking at it?
- Yes, I like it. What do you like,
reunions, reconciliations, the tributes? Stories, sometimes a little crazy. Declarations of love?
- Also. Do you have anyone?
- Yes, I have a girlfriend. We hope it is not
a love declaration. Maybe not. Love at first sight in the butcher's shop? I don't think so either.
- We've had this before. Can I offer you a clue? No, I do not want it. Don't want a clue?
- No. What am I going to do with it?
of my clues? I want to really be
surprised by the person. You know that our clues
don't necessarily help much. It's called clues,
but they are not. Maybe a clue, then. Look up there Theo,
someone will ask you a question. You think it's better
say things out loud or keep them for yourself? Say them out loud. In this show
Only the truth matters, we often say the truth out loud. This is what is needed.
I'm for that. Are all truths good to tell? Not good to hear,
but good to say. Not necessarily pleasant to hear. It happens to you sometimes
to hold your mouth and say nothing
in relation to a situation to avoid injury? Yes, depending on the person. I wouldn't hold back with some. Some people did things
not necessarily wanted. I'm not going to attack them on that. There are people for whom
I would have no pity. Hoping that the person
Don't be one of those people. It is a man or a woman ? I'm thinking of a man. To a man. To my father in particular. To your father.
- Yes. I'm not going to say too much
because if it's not him, afterward, we will feel attacked
from the other end of France. I don't want to say too much. What's his name ?
- Matthew. Are you two angry? It's going badly, we'll say. It's not the relationship
that a son and a father would dream of having. Okay, so it could be him? It could be him. I wouldn't walk if it's him. Otherwise a butcher's customer.
The meat wasn't great. If he comes here to say that,
it's funny. You are right,
important things to say. That's it. I suggest you discover the face
of the person who invites you because she has something
something very important to tell you. I want it a lot. Look at these screens again
and our favorite director will pierce the curtain
with his cameras. I knew it, I was sure. You know him ? This is my father. Matthew?
- That's it. Did you have any doubts? I was convinced. I will see
what he has to say to me but... You don't have to listen. If I want to listen to it?
Yes, yes, I want to see. Matthieu, it will be your turn to speak. I want to add you
a little good luck for the road because we are united. Hi Theo.
- How are you. And you ? How are you. I brought you here because
like you just said, It's been two years since we last spoke, two years since
I don't have much news from you anymore. It is complicated. I have a lot to tell you that I didn't have the chance
to tell you for some time. First of all, I'm proud of who you are,
proud of what you have become. You are a beautiful person, it shows. Then I would like to ask your forgiveness, sorry for not having been
the dad you would have loved, sorry for not having been as present
that you would have liked. I do not want
to redo the past because I became aware of what
Maybe I should have done better. Now it's done,
it's too late. I miss you,
I miss you all the time. I now want us to leave
this chapter of our life behind, although you certainly have
a lot of resentment, that I can understand. Now you are 20 years old,
you have life ahead of you, and I would like to be part of it. I lost you for some time
and I don't want that anymore. I don't want that anymore. It touches me deeply
that you did. I want to start again,
but not right now, no way. It's much too early,
way too easy to get here. Things you shouldn't have done,
say you miss me, that you haven't heard from me since,
you didn't try to have one, you were never proud of me,
it's now that you are proud of me. That's new. There are lots of things you did wrong,
we will not change that. You created a new life
without fixing your past and that really touched me. Your past,
you never tried to fix it, and your future,
you built it on it to erase a past that you missed. We're going to take some time. I wouldn't open the curtain.
I don't want to talk to you again right away. That is going to take time
and it will happen one day, but it's not right away. You will give your decision,
we will come back to certain points. You say a lot of things. You are home,
Say what you want. You seem to blame him
with somewhat harsh words. It's normal, when you're a son,
you can be harsh towards your parents and say, you're a little quick
closed the past, your past. The past he had with your mom
when you were younger. You very quickly rebuilt your future. Do we mean by this a form, no reproaches, but to say, you were quicker and more attentive
in your new life that it is in the old life that
obviously, you wanted a little… It's a bit like that, it's that,
from my point of view, I feel like he created
his life now to erase father's past
which he failed to obtain. Is that how you interpret it?
- Yes. That means you're mad at him
to have rebuilt his life? You blame him
for giving you two little sisters? I don't blame him for that, but for not having repaired his past
before creating your future. That's the thing. He could have told me about it
much earlier than that. I'm 20 years old, I learned to live
without my father, why now? He could have come sooner. I've been waiting for you for a long time,
except that I wasn't expecting you anymore. That's all. We could ask Matthieu
how he heard this. You tell him,
it's good to be proud of myself today, but I would have preferred
whether it was when I was younger. You believe that he was not
quite proud of you, when you were a child or teenager? No way.
- Of the kind ? When I said I was going to do
butchery studies, he didn't tell me, I'm proud,
he said, yes. Ah I got my license. Yes. Never proud father. Now that he realizes
that he failed, he is proud. He came after the war, when I was 20,
when education is completed. This is also what I blame him for.
- Matthieu, do you want to answer that? You know, Theo, I think that when you are a parent, it's not simple
to say all those words. Rather, I say it again,
sorry, sorry for not being the one you would have liked to have,
but I tell you again, I am proud of you, really very proud of you. If I didn't tell you before, once again,
Sorry I didn't tell you sooner. But I am extremely proud
of what you have become and the boy that you are and yes,
You have character, that’s clear. Let us understand clearly, Theo. That weekend,
according to Matthew, everything is going well. Your birthday, your friend is here, his partner is pregnant with a child. Everything is going well.
You have a good weekend. You blow out the candles,
everyone is cool. Why all this change of heart,
this sudden decision? Because before my birthday,
there was a weekend, one week
where I went to my father, understood
that we didn't have the same life, than him, it was more of a bourgeois life
and where I live, it's no longer a hassle-free life,
but a normal life. A life of non-bourgeois people,
who don't have the life he has, that's all. We have different lives,
and it's not a life that interests me. I didn't grow up in it. See that there is so much difference
between my life and his, that doesn't make me want
to be part of his. It didn't make me want
to be part of his life. The imperfect is important. That's it. But after,
maybe it will change, what he did,
but not right now. Matthew what do you say
on this different life story, different lifestyle, quite incompatible,
when we listen to Théo? Mr. bourgeois! It will stay.
- Rich man! He doesn't know the hassle.
- No, that's it. These are his words. If he thinks that
I have a bourgeois life, that’s Théo. If you think that,
maybe that's not it at all. You know, it's a life for us
today filled with love with your little sister and with your brother. If there's a question of money in it,
we could discuss it. I do not see
what it's doing in there. We talk about love, we talk about family. This is what I have to answer
compared to my bourgeois life. Thank you Matthew. Young people are tough. You know what Theo,
a father, we only have one. He comes with his heart
on a TV set, in front of everyone tell you,
I failed, I haven't been the best father. I want to begin
to build something. Start building something, it can start by opening
a little bit of his heart? A few small symbolic gestures. It touches me deeply.
It's going to be a game changer. But that won't erase 18 years
where he hasn't been there. These are not simple sentences
which will change the situation. Théo, according to the principle of the show,
I will ask you, to respect the ritual,
to stand facing the curtain. Matthew came this evening
you ask for forgiveness, tell you I love you,
I'm proud of you. Things he didn't say enough
and demonstrated for years and he is well aware of it. We understand that, for the moment,
it seemed insufficient to you. However, he still does
a strong approach, thoughtful, determined, alone too. It's true. To his credit,
but it touches me a lot. But now is not the time. It's not the right time. Do you leave this curtain closed?
- Yes. With the hope of opening it one day. One day I will open it,
but not right now. Thank you, Theo,
it is your complete freedom. We respect. We'll let you go. We're going to open the curtain
to find Matthew. Come join us, Matthew. I find that the curtain
did not open, but it opened up a little. I think. You have a boy
who has a strong character, it is rather a quality, who obviously has
a lot of resentment and lack, which certainly has
been very sad during his adolescence,
of your absence. Somehow he wants to do it to you
still pay a little. It wouldn't be simple,
Like I've told you, it's not me that's the most important, that's what I had to tell him,
I think he heard it. He needs time,
I'll give him time. We'll let you go.
- THANKS. Keep us posted. He knew what he wanted. Thanks for pushing. Keep us posted. In this show,
at the end of the show, it's a sequence that you love. We return to cases which have come
in our show 15 or 20 years ago, our best sequences,
those who weighed the most often on social networks,
which have garnered millions of views. We're going to come back to a story
which touched us a lot, that of Pascal. Yes, a beautiful name,
but above all a beautiful story. A beautiful story, that of Pascal
and his disabled brother, who had been adopted
by a wonderful family. Pascal came to this set
pay tribute to his adoptive parents. A very, very beautiful sequence. Look ! Hi. Good evening Pascal, nice first name.
- Good evening. We have the same one, I think. Nice name. Pascal, who are Françoise and Daniel. This is my host family. This is your host family. I am from the DAS, abandoned by birth,
with a brother who is autistic, an autistic twin brother,
and these people came collect us at the DAS
with my disabled brother. A long time ago ? 24 years ago. When were you? Four months.
- Four months. It’s thanks to Françoise and Daniel. You will be able to explain to us
and tell them tonight, thank you for that. It's thanks to them, we'll find out,
with these images which will follow, that your life and that
of your brother Bruno, was able to be happy. Look ! Pascal and Bruno, two children,
two little abandoned boys who find themselves at the DAS,
condemned to be separated. Suddenly, Daniel and Françoise
enter their lives. They are the host family
which will allow them to stay together, not to be separated. They find themselves together
within this family already made up of four children. Daniel and Françoise
will take care of them for a while only initially, until the day
where they decide to keep them, not to abandon them again. Soon, Pascal and Bruno
become their full children, two little accomplice heads,
two fraternal twins, but true soul mates
who watch over each other. Everyone lives in their own world,
Bruno is autistic, and Pascal will be his guardian angel. He will always be near his other,
locked in his disability. Since his brother doesn't speak,
he will speak for two. A presence and complicity
who will sublimate every day of their childhood,
with a forever radiant smile. By welcoming Pascal and Bruno, by understanding
that we do not separate twins, a family decided that the bonds
of the heart were well worth the ties of blood. Today they are 24 years old
and thanks to the welcome of his parents, a young man opened up to the world. On the protective gaze
and so patient with his brother, gradually,
Bruno's words flourish. He enters the scene,
he starts doing laps around the track. Definitely confident,
he finally communicates. These parents understood it. They showed generosity,
of limitless love. This evening, Pascal wants to say
for the first time these words that he had never uttered
to his adoptive parents: Dad mom,
It’s you, I love you. Why were they
more than foster parents? They already had children. They already had four children. How can I explain it to you? It's hard when you're four months old,
for a host family to say, I'm going to take children
and not cling to them as it should be done,
because it's just a host family. We cannot remain indifferent
in front of two little ones. Besides, I'm not too bad of a kid. These are people who gave us
more than their own children, who have never done non-profit. We got the money they got
to have fun for our pocket money. The money they received... It always came back for us. They always did it for free while knowing that at any time,
we could be taken out of there. You know they had a choice
between taking only one of the two twins? They could have chosen
to take only you? Yes because
it's a bit like a host family who chooses which child
she wants to take. They understood to what extent
it was essential for you to remain closely united,
united, with Bruno, who perhaps had
need you even more. I think that
when we start on this principle to take in a foster family
two children with a handicap, I think it's people
with a huge heart. If only
they had just allowed themselves to take it and then fill it
their role as host family, it will have already been good. But no, they gave us chances.
They took care of it personally. My brother should not speak,
my brother speaks, he expresses himself. They gave us
more than a father's love. If I had to compare them,
for me, it's these two angels who came from heaven to help me. To help you. Your brother
who wanted to accompany you, who is also smiling,
and who, I imagine, completely shares everything you say right now. You say,
I never told them, I love you. No, I'm very cold. We have children,
we know it's difficult for them to say
I love you to parents. Why didn't you ever tell them,
in a way, I love you? I never told them,
but I prove to them day after day by helping them in turn. I avoid getting into emotions,
I put a shell in front of me to avoid suffering. Once we have installed this shell,
it's very hard to remove. I never knew how to remove it. We need to re-deprogram. When you're used to a tough person
which is humorous to hide his feelings,
you get used to this person. I can not anymore
get into this game, I can't anymore
to be myself. We want to be those people. That's why I really wanted,
symbolically, take them to this show,
because I need dozens of lives
to pay tribute to them. I really wanted to mark the occasion. All at once with Bruno behind
and next to you, you want, in a few seconds,
pick up everything you don't have knew how to say for years. Know or could tell them,
not the courage to tell them, because it's hard to be in front of them
and say mom, dad, I love you. I wanted to do it differently. I may be
the person who will help my brother to grow up later,
but it's my ray of sunshine. My brother, I only have him. You prepared yourself
to make your heart speak, because you're going to do it live. It's been 24 years
that I have a speech deep inside me, in my flesh and in my guts,
and I don't need to prepare. It will come out like this
and I think the curtain will help me. Is Bruno still with them? He is always with us,
he lives with us. He works in a CAT,
he receives a salary… A CAT is a Work Assistance Center. Exactly, he does handling
and Bruno is autonomous. He takes the bus and the train
to go to work alone. Thanks to Françoise and Daniel. We wouldn't be here without them. Big victory for you?
- Yes. His sucess ? My trophy for my life, I think. Pascal, we will leave you
a few more seconds meditate on this speech
that you have been preparing for 24 years. We are going to receive Françoise and Daniel
with as much care as possible, on the other side of the board. Good evening Françoise, good evening Daniel,
we are very happy to welcome you, to recieve you. Good evening madam.
- Laurent Fontaine. Sit down. Good day sir. Lawrence. How are you ? I'm ok thanks. You don't come from too far? No, in the Paris region. Longjumeau, Essonne. Thank you both for being here this evening,
for having moved and dedicate some time to ourselves, because if you are here,
it's because someone asked us to invite you to tell you
something very important. Do you have any idea of the person
Who can tell you something? Not really. It could be a criticism
or maybe something good? Not a complaint, I hope. Did you talk about it together? We searched. I looked anyway. My work colleagues
searched on the internet. Oh yes ! Anyway. It's about us.
- Yes I understood. That I understood. This too. You once said to yourself, we will be
maybe guest on this show? Never. Never occurred to me. When we talked about it at work yesterday,
I said no, it's not possible, What am I going to do on this show? I never would have thought, no,
no way. We will try to clarify
a little bit of all that. For that, if you wish, we told the story
to someone in the street and he wanted to give you an opinion.
Look ! There is no age
for declarations of love. There, it's a bit of a Joker. You seem especially
of a very united couple. In this show,
we never present someone who could not be there, someone who is there
with his wife or husband. No worries. There are many ways to love,
you know it. It's not just marital love. You are used to it
to declarations of love together? You get a lot
of those around you? People around you. Not really. You often say to yourself,
I love you both? It's been over for a long time. 48 years old, seriously? That's far away. Daniel and Françoise
do you want to know who is the person
who took you out of your garden and your house
to bring you on set? Yes, both?
So, look at this screen. His face will appear
in a few seconds. It's Pascal.
- Oh yes. Do you know this boy? Yes, he lives with us. For 25 years now. There must be Bruno,
his brother, who is in the room. It's not far, Bruno. He must be at work tonight,
Normally ? Yes, he told me
that he was at work. He was told to set the alarm
where we work. I hope he did it before he left. Did you expect to see him? No, not him. No way. You have a little idea
what he came to tell you? Not really. No, I do not see. Maybe he came to tell us
that he loves us. I don't know. Because Pascal is quite withdrawn,
he has a lot of trouble saying... He never did it, but we know. We're going to listen to it. I lied to you.
I'm sorry, it's rare. It has been a week
that I am a little to the right, to the left to please you
and pay homage to you. You have given me a lot. I would like to thank you
for the human beings that you are, for taking me out,
me and my brother, from all this trouble
that we should have had. Just to say thank you for loving us like that
and to love us. Mom, you are my angel,
I love you more than anything. Forgive me for my harshness,
when I was a kid. I'm sorry for everything I said to you, it wasn't me who spoke,
it was hatred towards everyone. I came here because I should have
100 lives to pay tribute to you. When I saw the show,
I thought of you. There are stories that were here and I said to myself, why not mine,
with the past I had? I would like
people who are in my situation, little ones who may have lost hope, let them tell themselves that we all have
a mom and dad who are waiting for us somewhere, and it's not the biological parents
who are the real parents, I speak for my real family,
It was my family who educated me. Tonight I bond with my brother to thank you,
to say thank you for everything. Thank you to the family who knew how to love me,
thanks to my brothers and to my adopted sister. They are in me,
they are in my heart, it's my blood. I just wanted to tell you
that I love you very much and you are my family, that for nothing in the world,
I don't want to leave you and that I will do my best
to help you move forward until the last moments of your life. I am here to watch over you. This is the first time I'm telling you
because I am someone very special emotionally,
very hard, which shows nothing. For me it was hard to come here,
because I really show myself and that I didn't do much. Thanks Mom. Thank you for everything. I love you my little mommy. Thank you mom, thank you dad,
thank you for everything. Always be like this, be as honest as that. That's all I can say. I can't speak anymore, I'm blocked. Thanks for taking me and my brother,
for not having separated us, and for loving us
like your own children. For that, I think that
you deserve heaven. Did you expect this statement? No. Especially since we know him. I'm glad to hear it. It's true that it's a boy
who has a lot of trouble to say what he really thinks. You think you deserve
all these very, very beautiful things. We are all very moved
hearing Pascal. That's all that was normal,
everything that was natural. If it were as natural as that,
there would be fewer children in distress. When they turned 18, we were asked
what we wanted to do. I said we continue to keep them. Pascal wanted to pay tribute to you, and Bruno because he is there
in the audience, behind Pascal. They wanted to pay tribute to you. This show also serves that purpose,
to say thanks and pay homage. We will ask you to stand up
and join them. The curtain will open. Well done to all four of you. I promised to do it. I wanted to thank Leticia,
who supported me during this difficult week. I wanted to thank her,
of the big heart she had towards me. Leticia, if you can hear me, thank you
and I love you very much. We still have hairs that stand on end
20 years later, and yet, we have seen it again and again,
this story. He is present on our set. Thank you for welcoming him,
his name is Pascal, 20 years later. Welcome Pascal. How are you ? Always the same. Please go ahead! The images hurt. You have the term. I was in sports with judo,
now, sport and sumotori. Sport, studies, fun. Yes, I'm on top of that. You lost a little hair. Yes, that is wisdom. I think that when we say things,
we free ourselves. I imagine that this sequence,
you saw her again, perhaps with Daniel and Françoise. It was difficult for me
for years to see her again because I had stripped myself bare,
and this way of exposing myself, it was exceptional
and I was still embarrassed. Still today,
I'm always embarrassed to see myself. This is the old Pascal.
Today, I am more calm. I have changed, when I see
the being who was in pain and today,
I'm straight in my sneakers. They brought me everything they could,
All their life. If I am here today,
it is to pay them a last tribute, because they disappeared. Daniel and Françoise? Yes, dad, ten years ago
and mom four years ago. I still take care of my brother Bruno,
I am his guardian. It's happier. Today he works,
he is in a home. I kept everything I said. First, I'm going to make a digression. These people are exceptional,
but there are others. I'm not really anyone's son. I'm no one's child. These people, they take love,
take their courage and their instinct. Of course they are not alone. Adoption is not easy.
Getting started in this is not easy. We know, with what's happening
Right now, we have more women
and sterile men. We are in a life
a little more polluting and this is felt in fertility. There is also this option
and that's important. The controls should be lightened a little. I am the good example
that if tomorrow I die, I want my arms back
from my adoptive mother, it's the only one that counts. The beauty of history,
the little story inside, it's only me who, for example,
Pascal knows this foundation very well, the Children’s Action Foundation,
we know that it brings together children in villages,
but groups them together as siblings. Because when we are abandoned, the judges decide to withdraw you
of the family environment. Often brothers and sisters are separated
because there is not enough means
to reunite brothers and sisters. The beauty of the gesture
of these adopting parents, it is to have brought together both you,
having taken you up for adoption, but to have also taken
your little brother, who was a child
a little more complicated to manage. There is the barrier of disability.
There, I was accumulating. If we took a game,
I left with a lot of little problems, Except I finished the game. Some have not finished,
every step is complicated. I pass the stage peacefully.
I got the basics. I raise my children like my mother. How many children?
- Three. Still with Leticia,
who was on set. We are not married,
I am making a final appeal. It's never too late
to ask her to marry him again. Leticia, 24 years old now,
we can go. I asked after the show,
She told me, it's too early. With three children,
it's still too early. You saw the state of the man,
soon it will be too late. If you need a curtain,
there is one for you. You are very happy. We are very happy,
except that she made me a father, she made me have a family. Today I have a family tree
that I didn't have before. It’s beautiful what he just said. I have a family tree
than I had before. This passage on the set,
20 years ago already, it was a very important moment
for your adoptive parents. How did they experience it afterwards? Already, for me,
it was an opening to emotion that I couldn't get out. For me, the woman, it was abandonment. This mother, before this show, she gave and I,
I slapped them, we will say, mental. You were a very difficult child. Judo was a channel,
it was extracting all the rage. After this broadcast, I watched him say,
I did what was necessary. After the show, it opened me up.
I took care of her. She died of leukemia cancer,
dad, of a pancreas. I accompanied them to the end,
I placed them in accommodation. We helped with the rent,
They haven't paid rent in ten years. Above all, there was a second impact,
Today I have three children. I have a daughter who is 18 years old,
and the other 14 years old. I have two girls and a little boy,
Lena, Emy and Samuel, whom I kiss. They all have a middle name,
the name of mom and dad. Above all, it allowed Samuel,
who was born in 2013, to see a video of your grandpa
that he did not know, with this little laughing look. That, I thank you.
- Nice memory. This is our happy ending, because in 20 years,
I don't know where I would be. With my grandchildren perhaps. Glad to have found you.
I think we can applaud Pascal. We're going to let you go again, Pascal. Thank you 1000 times for being
on our set. Be happy. We're going that way. It's the end of the show, Pascal. Yes, it's already time. I must leave you,
but it is very temporary. Don't worry, we'll meet again
very, very quickly on C8. We know that you will be
the appointment. We're going to say hello to Rebecca and Sam. We salute you too.
See you soon. You are ready
to send your invitations? I was going to leave. My invitations are ready, I'm going. It's a bit late. Rest anyway. And you, if you want too
come on this set to win someone back,
make a declaration of love, find a person
that you have lost sight of or even that you don't know, or pay tribute to someone
who did something magnificent, you don't hesitate. Our team is at your disposal
to launch your invitations. Contact details are currently displayed. The mailbox, the telephone number. As Pascal says, don't hesitate
to have a great evening on C8. Be happy.
We'll see each other very quickly. See you soon on
