Good evening Pascal. - Good evening. Pascal Bataille. The boy thanks to whom I have been shining for almost 40 years. Yes, I make you shine. - Oh yes ? It's good ? - It's good. But it's reciprocal. Good evening to all of you who are watching us comfortably installed in your home and for a new show Only the truth matters, the show you love and adore, the show that makes you laugh and cry. The one who brought your invitations, she is already in the dressing room It's only the truth that counts. Rebecca, good evening. - Good evening. Let's go see if she's accompanied or alone. Rebecca. In your opinion ? In your opinion, you are accompanied. Yes, because when I smile, I am accompanied. Well accompanied? Yes, from Rui who accepted our invitation. Rui. - Yes. Where does that come from, Rui? - Portugal. Good evening to Rui. - Nice name. Good evening. Thanks, that's nice. A character's first name from a novel. It seems that in Portugal, it's very common. You say Rui, in Portugal, everyone turns around. Welcome to our house. Welcome to Rebecca's dressing room. You have an idea of what makes you come on this set tonight? I have so many ideas that I have none. It happens often when we find ourselves in your situation. We can have lots of ideas, sometimes we don't have any. You will know a little more in a few minutes. My pleasure. - We'll let you wait with Rebecca. You are very well accompanied, and much better than me. We are going to discover... I'm kidding. We will discover... - Thank you dear audience. which has an important truth, very important, this evening, to say, Rui. Very important. Her name is Manon. We receive it immediately. Good evening Manon. - Good evening. Sit down! Welcome. Delighted to meet you. Are you okay, Manon? - Yes, very good. A little stressed, it shows. - A little. It's normal. It's called TV. You take a step extremely important, who is Rui, the person that we just saw alongside Rebecca? This is my dad. And you live with a big, big lack? Yes. - That's what brings you here. When your parents are separated, you had the feeling that you were the least loved, that you were not the most expected. When your daddy left, you saw him less and less. You blamed him for not seeing you anymore or not seeing enough of you. When he started his life again, you told us to prepare for this show, you were jealous towards the children he might have with his new companion, and it accentuated this side, " I'm not my father's darling daughter and I'm not the apple from his eyes, not enough. » Is that well summarized? - That's it. We tried to trace the story of Manon and her dad Rui and this frustration that has been gnawing at her for so long. Manon is a young woman of 25 years old who needs a man in her life. His name is Rui, and he's her father, a father she idealized and loved desperately when she was a little girl. Teenager's life will be upset by the divorce of his parents. Manon stays with mom and dad moves away to start a new life. Soon Rui has a new companion, children. Manon doesn't find her place in his new life. From adolescence, Manon doesn't see her father only during the holidays. The lack is cruelly felt like a wound that she will bury deep inside her. The breaking point, it's this birthday that her daddy will forget to wish her when he was 13. Manon is heartbroken. As Manon grows up, she tries to speak open heart with his father. Rui promises him to make an effort, it's not enough for her, who expects much more. The more time passes, the more this feeling of being sidelined grows. It's been over 12 years that the relationship between her and her dad only needs a few birthday and holiday messages. Today, Manon decided to invite his father on It's only the truth that counts, to be part of his life in his own right and to tell him everything she has in her heart. Dad, I need you, make a place for me in your life. Manon, we saw an episode which particularly marked you. When you are 25 years old, you always think about it. That's when your daddy forgot to wish you your birthday from the age of 13. It already happened to him from time to time, but that was the trigger where I said to myself, it is not normal. I decided to no longer go on vacation to his place, because I saw it throughout the holidays. When did the parents divorce? - Yes. Me, what I waited for every year, it was whatever, wish me on my birthday. The most important thing is a message or a call from my dad. As soon as I had this sign, for me, it was a sign of love or that he was thinking of me. In terms of my questioning, I know that I was not an easy child. I know that in my head, go to my daddy, it was very complicated for me, because I was far from my mother. I was having a lot of trouble to be on vacation with him. I cried all the time, I always had mom on the phone. For a dad who doesn't see his daughter that during the holidays, it's complicated for him to say to himself, she is with me on vacation and she always calls her mom, she is still crying. Your father has rebuilt his life, he has other children. How are things going with your brothers and with your dad's companions? This first companion with whom he had other children, personally, it went badly for me, in any case, for the first child. Why ? I had a bad experience. I don't know if I should say it, I had a bad experience. Why don't you know? Say what you want. He was going out with this lady at the same time as my mother. He left my mom, he continued his life with this person, with whom he had a child, not long after. In my child's head it wasn't long after. I don't have at all appreciated this new birth. Besides, I apologize because I hurt this child. Then there was a second which I more or less accepted. From the same woman? - From the same woman. Then they broke up. Now he has rebuilt his life. With another woman? - Yes. Who do you have children with? - No. You have contacts with your half-brothers or sisters? No, no, none. The last time that I saw my little brother, he was six or seven years old, so I don't know at all anymore. I ask you a question in an extremely hidden way, you answer if you want. Don't you sometimes took your mother's side? Are you not done unconsciously your mother's lawyer? Yes, but it was unconscious, because my mom never... Set against your father. No, at no time. It was me. I did it unconsciously. Besides, I did it feel to my father, and I didn't hide it. As soon as he said anything on mom, I retaliated straight away. We weren't supposed to touch mom. He suffered a lot from that too, I know it. Yes, yes, of course, I am aware of that. I have changed now, I am no longer at all... We've already had a discussion. I have matured fortunately. We talked about it with my dad. In my opinion, I thought it was clear, that he understood well that I had changed and that I was no longer mom's girl, that I had become more adult. And yet? Not much has changed in your relationship. I thought that was going to change. I had a big hope in February 2023, where he came to Orléans to see me. The first step, it was to be able to integrate it into my life, which began in this city. And since ? I never got any answers to my calls. At the end of June I sent an SMS saying to him : Hello dad. I tried to call you for several months to no avail. You told me we'd see each other, to quote his phrase, “during the sunny days”, and I never got a response to this SMS. And since then, no news? No news. I have even been to Fréjus in the south, at my grandparents' house, in August, for my birthday. Last August? - In August this year. We are really looking at 2023. He knew I was there, I guess. I did not tell her. Your paternal grandparents? My paternal grandparents, yes. I guess he knew that I was there and at no time did he call me, or at any time I heard from him, pass me Manon. There really was this side where I said to myself, he's ignoring me. I said to myself, What did I do ? I don't understand this ignorance, already something I didn't understand before. With this great hope that I had, I understand even less. Yes, class and emotional lift. You think that's it, resolved, finally, you have normal relationships and satisfying with your daddy, and then he fades away in nature again. What do you get out of it to conclude ? We'll come in two seconds to the fact that you called us to invite him this evening. What do you get out of it to conclude ? Because when we tell this story, I imagine you told it to friends, friends, to people in your family, etc., those who don't know. What do people tell you when you tell them so coldly the few relationships What do you have with this dad? There are those who don't understand because for them, it's not conceivable to be like that. There are some who told me that everyone is as they are, and indeed, everyone has their own life, even I, sometimes, I should call, I don't call, I also hold this maybe from him. I don't blame him. Afterwards, there are some who tell me, it's not serious. There are very good people who live... There are some who tell me, move on, forget, but I really would like hold on to this daddy. What did you come for? tell him tonight and why do it on this set Who can change things? It's the last cry for help, I think I can't do more to attract his attention, to get love from him, make him understand that I am no longer here to run after money or because I had a period like that too, where I was chasing money, everything related to alimony, etc. He was very angry with me. Pardon. You had the feeling that at one point... Yes, he was fed up. ...he thought you were interested. That I wasn't interested in him that for alimony, although not at all, we just needed the pension. I would like to tell him that today I have changed and that I am no longer here for the pension, but for him, and I don't know if that answers your question. Yes, don't worry. What you would like to tell us, it's that your daddy, when he separated, had the obligation like any couple who separates, to pay alimony so that you may be elevated, and it was a little late in coming, and you play, you, a role in that. When you say, I don't want him to believe that I ran after alimony, you say, I ran, no, my mom ran. You mean that you play a role asking your father for a pension Who was late? Yes, because I saw that for my mother it was a bit complicated. I just wanted to convey the fact that the pension was useful to us and so, I ran after him a little, in the sense that... I know he blamed me for it, the fact that every time I came, it was for money. There was a period like that, but since, I'm not like that anymore, I'm not anymore the girl who needs money, I manage on my own. What does your companion say compared to that? He sees you as we see you, us, there, this evening, I was going to say unhappy, it's obvious, moved, we would be less, very guilty? I tell you things as I feel them. I feel a lot of guilt. You express it, this guilt. Totally unfair guilt and that you shouldn't have carried it all. We are never responsible actions of his parents, never. THANKS. You seem to be putting up with it though. with great sadness. It's a burden. We feel that it is a big weight. What happened to your mom, you carried it. Alimony, you shouldn't have gotten involved as a child. You handled it, you carried it, you were blamed for it, you blame yourself yourself today. It's all heavy, for a young woman like you. What does your companion say, he who knows the situation very well? That I should hold on, that I should not give up, because I had phases where I wanted to give up or tell me that, separably, I have an amazing father-in-law. There are some who do very well to hold on to that. That I should continue to take the first step, but if it doesn't work one day, I will have to let go of the cord, that I let go of the matter. I'm not there yet, that's why I'm here. You think he suspects Are you the one inviting him this evening? I imagine, yes. I'm high on his list, I hope so. This sentence is incredible. You say, I hope to be high on his list. In any case, I hope so. Yes, it's true, I always hoped for it. Be high on your list? - Yes. To be his daughter. To be my daddy's girl. How did he react when Rebecca went to bring him your invitation? Manon, look. We are in Lieusaint, in the department of Seine-et-Marne, in the Île-de-France region, 30 km from Paris and not very far from Belin. This town takes its name from Latin Locus Sanctus, given in the Gallo-Roman era because of many religious ceremonies which took place there. We learned that a Celtic legend tells that in the middle from the forest of Lieusaint, stands a source of great purity who was also the home of the Blue Lady. I'm not going to tell you everything, today I am here to deliver this invitation to Rui, who lives right there, hoping he accepts that an important message waiting for him on the set. Hello, are you Rui? Yes quite. I'm Rebecca from the show Only the truth matters. I came give you this invitation hoping to find you as soon as possible on our set. Thank you a lot. I did not expect that. Terrible ! How do you think he will react seeing you? I think he'll be surprised, but deep down, he is an intelligent person anyway, my dad, so I think that he expects it and that... I don't know whether he will understand or not. We'll give you a few minutes to find Rebecca in her dressing room, and your dad who is with her. We're going to bring him on set and you will have the opportunity to interact with him. Good luck. - THANKS. If you want a glass of water, no worries. Alex, do you want to manage? How nice he is! Look at that little angel face. The curtain closes behind us and we will be able to reestablish the connection with Rebecca's lodge, who is still with Rui. Always, who is very enthusiastic and especially, who very, very much wants to join you. I'm going to ask you to stand up, to follow Sam, and the truth is just down the hall. Thank you so much. Come join us, Rui. Good evening. Welcome to this set. Thank you very much, nice to see you again. - We too are delighted to welcome you. Rui, welcome. Sit down! - Thanks, that's nice. Do you know the show? Of course, for a long time in fact. I guess you didn't think, watching it at home, that you would be invited there one day. I never thought about it. I never imagined myself here. And I'm delighted. Does this sound like what you know? - Yes. You have ideas of the person Who invited you to the set? Obviously a few, but I won't tell you anything. For what ? Because I'm afraid of being wrong. A man or a woman ? - Both. He doesn't take the risk. It's ugly to do that. No, I'm waiting you give me a clue. She even gave two clues. Sometimes but not always. I offer you a first clue. Someone is going ask you a question. Rui, if you were a superhero, which one would you be? It's stealing. Fly ? - Yes. Not in stores. No, we understood. Fly to move faster from one place to another? To visit people easier ? Which friend do you want to lead? - No not at all. Just because it must be nice. I imagine when we see the birds. Why do you tell him, do you want to take me somewhere? Flying ? No, I don't think of anything, but I have so much that come to mind that I prefer to see the surprise and open that in the screen. She has a second superpower. This is a second clue. This one, no. He is bad. He was interesting. - Was he good or bad? He was good, but it didn't get me anywhere. We hope that the second will be more useful. I didn't fly far. - Look. What's your biggest flaw, Rui? I do not have any. I'm kidding. You neither. I don't know. Perhaps it should ask people I know, that I meet and who will be able to speak better. We generally know when we have a fault. Me, I do not know. Honestly, I do not know what fault I have. I definitely have some. But what is my biggest? What do people say about you when they reproach? I have no complaints. Your wife when she yells at you says, you're boring, you're messy, you don't keep your promise, you had to do this or that. My wife is very nice. Does she never reproach you? - Yes. Laurent, we blame him to be addicted to sports, to be running all the time, doing exercises. Yes, it is to the detriment of my family life, of my friendship life. Too much sport kills sport. I don't know. Maybe I'm a little too cool, maybe I'm calm, too calm, perhaps. And there you are calm or you are a little tense a few seconds to discover the person who invites you this evening. I am calm but enthusiastic. I can't wait to see who is the person who took this step. We're going to ask our director to pierce the curtain with his camera and reveal his face. She invites you to tell you something important. It's my daughter. We know. Manon. Your first daughter. Absolutely, my greatest and whom I love with all my heart. Anyway, it's a long story. Truly, Rui, you see your daughter that evening, on the screens. I imagine that you know very precisely why she brings you here. I know why it brings me here precisely. I'm going to hear it. Are we listening to it? - My pleasure. Manon, it’s yours. Good evening dad. - Good evening Manon. I thank you very much already for accepting the invitation. I called you to say sorry, the harm I could have done to you because of the distance and all that. I hope that... I just want to have a place in your life. A real place as your daughter. I had a lot of hope between the last time we saw each other, and the last two times we saw each other, I had a lot of hope. I would like to integrate you into my life too because I love you and me, I suffer alot. I suffer greatly from your absence and my attitude chasing you too. I don't like chasing people and I know I've done it a lot being small for reasons which no longer fell or other things. I would like to move forward more calmly in the future and since you are part of my past and my present, and I would like that you are also part of my future. I love you and I wish you agree to open the curtain already, and that with time, that you take the time you need and then let's go back to the basics that we tried to build and that, whenever you want, we see each other, but physically, because I know that, For you, the telephone is complicated. For me too. I'm not perfect with the phone, I don't call, I don't call every day the people I would like to call. Let's see each other face-to-face more regularly. I don't know, once a year, whenever you want, I don't know. I can respond ? - Yes. You are home. She listens to you, you can exchange, talk to him. Manon, it touches me a lot what you did and I never cry. It touches me deeply the step you take. I feel the importance for you, because if you started all this, it really meant something to you. It touches me deeply. You know that I love you very much and I always wanted us to get closer. We'll talk about what happened, what makes the distance that there was between us, but how to remain insensitive to your approach, it's one thing that I always wanted. You are my daughter and I'll love you until the end, whatever happens. I was sad too and I know you suffered a lot. I was a little harsh too because Maybe I haven't forgiven enough. I apologize for that too. Maybe I was harsh too. You were too. You were too and it's been a long time that I am waiting for this moment. It's been a long time that I wait for you to grow up, that you see things differently and so that we can make our own relationship. You have your relationship, you have your life, you have the relationship with your mother and we have another relationship of our own and I would like us to create it. I really appreciate your approach, it touches me deeply and I hope it will take us to improve all that and in the distant future, like you said. I always loved him, no matter what happened. When I say I love you, That's what I feel That’s what I’ve always felt. She's still my daughter. Now, an explanation for all this, it's that I didn't feel... I always hoped. Youth was complicated, it was complicated, and I hoped very much let her grow and she becomes more mature and that she understands, let her take her neutral place in this story. When there is a separation, the child must be neutral. I've waited a long time for this. The last time we saw each other, I didn't feel that, because in your eyes, I saw that I was the bad guy. I always had the impression to be the villain in the story. As long as I felt, I had trouble getting closer. I really needed you to change and you see things differently and let our relationship be our own, that there is no one else in this relationship. Let us both be and do it that you take this step, I hope that indeed, finally, my hopes are coming true and that finally we can really have a real serene relationship and put a little all that aside, the past. I've been waiting for this for years, and I talk about it often, very often. Whether it's grandpa and grandma, whether with my wife, we are talking about it. I'm hopeful and excited for you to be there, that you took this step, because I tell myself that maybe there, we will be able to start. We won't be able to make up for lost time, but we still have a lot of things together. Manon still has a word to say before Rui is asked to stand up? I haven't made the decision yet? Before you make your decision, I'll tell you something. I have girls like you and me, I heard a young woman right now in front of me. Honestly, I had tears in my eyes when she spoke. This rarely happens to me. We hear things here and, believe me, before reaching us It is not always obvious, but we hold on. I heard a girl who is totally in pain and totally guilty. Certainly, she is right to be a little. Certainly, she did not always had the right attitude, but one on guilt that I have rarely felt someone's house. It's all his fault, relationships with mother, alimony issues, the fact that she does not have accepted your first companion and other children who arrived, the jealousy she had towards these children, and I felt extremely tortured by this guilt, as if she was a little this ugly family duckling who was she alone, the one who makes a bit of a mess of everything, in inverted commas, who is a bit like the one who is there, but who shouldn't be there, of which we do not understand not sure where his place is. I'm not judging you by saying this. It's hard to raise children and it's complicated. I have a terrible feeling. It's funny because even when I hear it with her tears at the beginning, the voice that shouts, I still feel this same emotion. I want to take it in my arms, to tell him, stop carrying this guilt. It's not all your fault that you believe it. You're the child. - Maybe no one's fault. But especially not from her. You're the girl. - Especially not from her. I have my part too, of course, Manon, you are not guilty of anything at all. It's not your fault. Everything you feel, It's not your fault. You need to get rid of this guilt. We will work a lot on this. I have my share too, but you are not guilty. I have to arrive to take away this guilt, because it's not just your fault, I have my share too. Maybe I didn't say the right words, perhaps I did not act wisely. Maybe I gave up a little, maybe I ran away because I couldn't to make me understand. Several times, I spoke to you, finally, in short. Maybe I was harsh. You need to get rid of this guilt. We all have a small part, but you are the smallest. You are happy when you see Manon a few months ago, with his companion? A woman today, someone who thrives. I am happy to see that she has become a woman. You are still a little remained young in your head. It's more of a quality to stay young. Honestly, let it last. I also try to stay young in my head. Rui, I'm going to ask you to stand up. You know the principle of the show. - Yes. Stand on the small cross. Facing the curtain, there is this beautiful young woman who is your eldest daughter, Manon, who came to tell you, do we finally, reciprocally and respectively, the place we deserve both in our lives. It is, you know, a symbolic approach to open this curtain. This means that it will be necessary whether it is followed by actions because Manon expects a lot from it. We all perceived and hundreds of thousands of people who also look at us, how much she is waiting for this. I think it would be no longer disappoint her by opening the curtain and not to follow up than leave this curtain closed. I understand what you are saying. Both, if this curtain opens, we hope that the news that we will have in six months, in two years and in 15 years that we would come to the set, it will be together. I really wish it, and we will do everything for it. Are you opening this curtain? Of course and I'm in a hurry to take her in my arms. Come Manon. You are a real crazy person! I love you very much, you are a real crazy person. Manon, happy? - Yes very. Relieved? Yes, he has already accepted my invitation, I was not excpecting that at all. That was already big and it was even better. She knows I'm a little reserved. I'm not someone who shows off. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but you both have does mutual violence and for a good cause. Exact. We'll let you go. We wish you lots of happiness. Thank you so much. - Thank you. Take care of your daughter, and you, from your dad. Thank you so much. Thank you for your broadcast. Over there ? We are going to discover a new story. To do this, we found Rebecca's dressing room. Rebecca, who are you with? I am with Christian, who comes from Ajaccio. Does your guest knows why he's here tonight? He has no idea. Christian, over to you. - I have no idea. None ? - None. You are in the full chart. Total. We will see you in a few moments, time for us to discover on the set who invited Christian. This is Carole, Ladies and gentlemen. Good evening Carole. Are you doing well ? Very well thank you and you ? Very, very good, Carole, especially when I see you. You called our team a few weeks ago to tell us, I'm taking a somewhat unusual approach, but you have a relationship very special with the boy that we just saw, Christian. You are about the same age and it turns out that you are in love with him. Do you use this word? - We're at the beginning. But you've never seen it. - Never. Never seen ? No, we met on social networks. Can I explain the short story? You are home. I'll explain the story to you. Let's go, let's go! So let's go ! The little story, it's only on a social network, I saw a little thing which caught my attention. In 2021, it happened in 2022, it happened in 2023. In 2024, I'm surprised. Is this for me? Him ? - Yes, him. How and why did you follow him? We followed each other. What is the social network? - Can I say it? Yes. - TikTok. We followed each other and I said, I haven't seen the character yet. What is it that at the beginning, we follow like this? These are the little videos that he put up, but I couldn't see his face. I wasn't curious yet to see the character. These were the things he posted, which I liked. Conversely, was he following you too? - Exactly. Where are you from ? -Marseilles. And he, from Corsica. - Yes. Don't we have the same accent? - No Unfortunately. It's not serious. Of course. - We will understand each other. Carefree. By following him on TikTok, you say to yourself, this man, there are lots of things corresponding. Even my mother goes on TikTok. It's not nice. There is everything on TikTok. Yes I understood. Explain to me how we do it to register on TikTok. What do we mean to try to... It's a joke. There you see that he posts things who pleases you, you follow him. No I have not seen it. Do you think what he posts is good? - Yes. How do you like it ? - Yes. Afterwards ? Afterwards I said, I'm curious to see his face. I said, he's charming! He is charming ? - Yes. When did you see him? - After the videos. Did he put something of his own? Did we see him? He had posted photos of himself. He's handsome. You've seen his photos, and you said, champagne. I talked. What did you tell him? You remember ? I said, Hello! On the video he posted. I said, she's not bad, she is interesting. There, he said to me, do you like it? I said yes. There he said to me, can we exchange? I don't have his phone number. - Always not ? No. - All right. You don't communicate than through the social network. We're going to stop saying the name 36 times. No, there is another network. - Which ? Snapchat. Snapchat. My mother is on TikTok, my grandmother is on Snapchat. You are quite right. - Yes. Please ? - Yes, I like him. You start to trade. We exchanged. You have children, yes, how many children, what ages are they? What do you do in life ? Trivial questions. Then I say, it would be nice if one day we try to see each other. He tells me, we'll try after the holidays, because there are holidays. The last ? - The last holidays that have passed. I said, we'll try to see each other this summer or worse, when we can. It's your chance or never. You said to yourself, we're not going to wait until summer? No, I'm in a hurry, I have to see it. I don't know. Maybe there will be this magic. That's the problem with these meetings. You didn't even hear his voice? His voice, yes, he showed me around his house with the telephone. It is my bedroom. No, first we started through the dining room. Do you like the decoration, is it pretty? Do you like the view there? - Gorgeous ! Did he still have threw small hooks? Previously he worked in... No, no, I said yes, I said why not, for sure. Why not what? He wanted to work abroad. He told me, in the future, will you go with me to work in Dubai? Direct. - Yes. I also said, I need to work. What do you do in life ? I am a dermographer. Dermograph? - Dermopigmentation. It's for people who have had cancer. For reconstructions, exactly. We redesign them... Eyebrows, when they no longer have them, because you know that chemo... You are a dermographer. It's a profession that you can exercise anywhere. Including in Dubai. - Yes. I said, wait, we get to know each other first. It didn't worry you than someone who has never seen you suggests you go to Dubai? No, because, how can I put it, I have felt it, he is a kind person. He soothes me, he is kind, he is attentive. Pay attention to that, I mean that he is protective and I like it. Does he like you in your opinion ? I don't know. Did he see you physically? Yes, but he didn't tell me. If he wants to take you to Dubai, then he likes you. He does not speak. He's someone who's a bit reserved. on the sentiment side, I think. He's not going to show his feelings. You have the impression that you are in love? Not in love. Interested? - Interested, yes. It's been a long time since you had someone on a regular basis? Yes, a very long time. A long time ? - Yes. Why are you making this face? Because I want to know A nice story, to have butterflies in your stomach, to be happy with someone, simply share my life. To be in osmosis with the person I'm with. Do you know if he's single? Did he tell you? Everyone in Dubai. I don't know. You didn't ask the question? Yes, but oh well. I don't know. When he sees you, he's going to be a little surprised. Me, you think not? No, you're the one who invited him. No, but in reality, because we haven't seen each other yet. We haven't seen each other. Do you fear this moment? No. You saw him move on the videos. It has nothing to do. It's not the same as seeing a photo. Let's admit that when it is on the set, I no longer like him, how do we do ? It's not our fault. No, I don't agree. It doesn't please you, you take it anyway. No. You're the one who invited him. There are 300 people in the audience. There is a team of 20 people. You have to take it even if you don't like it. No. We remain friends. She says, but no. I don't want it if I don't like it. Please, I'll go with him straight away, but if I don't like it... There's something, she didn't understand how the show works. It's you who invites him and it's him who decides whether he opens the curtain or not. Because I do not know, how it will go. Imagine, for example, I say anything, different cases. We'll bring him in soon. We're going to give him some clues, certainly some good clues. Especially a story like this. If he sees you, he will know you anyway. He sees you, he goes Ah! and he is super happy. He will take you to Dubai. He says, she's the woman of my life. There, at the same time, you say, but it's horrible. No, we saw him, he's very handsome, horrible for you. It's not horrible. You don't like him. What to do with the boy on the other side, half in a coma, in love with you, we will tell him, did you come for nothing? We remain friends, we don't have to flirt. Quite a phenomenon, you. We don't have to flirt, we can remain friends. We're not going to force you to. - Butterflies in the stomach. It is at the moment where you are going to touch each other, take his hand, kiss him on the cheek whether it will match or not. Do you have children? - Yes. How old are they? 32 and 27. 32 and ? - 27. They know you are on Tic tac and Snapchat with guys? Of course. - They love ? Tic tac serves food. Yes. Do they support you fully? It's me who raised them alone. It's not the answer to the question. If you want to know everything, it’s because we are fusional. There are things they accept and those they do not accept. They tell me, listen, especially since he doesn't kiss you on TV. That he doesn't kiss you? - Yes. Who told you that ? - My children. In addition, he talked about kissing you. No, on the mouth. He does not have the right. Ah good ! - No. For what ? They do not want. - Let's kiss the mother on TV? No, not on the mouth. - All right. That's the deal. - Yes. That's the deal. - I love you. I assure you, I would be on Snop or Tuc tuc, I would have loved you directly, I would have shown the videos of me, I would have danced and everything. You would have called me. I dance too. You haven't seen Laurent dance. We dance, dance what? I'm not dancing anything, calm down. What do I dance? Salsa, Rumba, a lot of South American since I was raised in this rhythm. We're going to go see if he's there or not. Isn't there an invitation from Rebecca? I'm kind of the thing. He lost it. You're the boss. I'm imagining you dance the Rumba. Okay Carole, are you ready? You still need to... I am ready, I hope he says yes. U.S. too. I hope. That would save us a hotel room. We leave you. Do you know how to drive? Because there are only skates. It's dangerous with heels. That's why I don't dance. Close the curtain. She's lovely. We will reopen the connection with the lodge, look. A Corsican and a Marseillaise who chatter. I'm so disappointed because Christian told me that he didn't have an accent only when he was relaxed. We've been talking since and he still doesn't have an accent. He is tense. I believe he is not completely relaxed. Is he ready? You are ready ? - Yes. I'm going to ask you to stand up. You will follow Sam and the truth is just down the hall. Good evening Christian. - Good evening. I'm ok thanks. Delighted to meet you, Where are you from in Corsica? Ajaccio. Do you know the show? - A little. Since we invited you, I imagine you are saying to yourself, why I'm going to see Bataille and Fontaine on a TV set? Little idea? - No. A man, a woman ? No idea. - No idea. You are married ? - No, separated. I'll give you a clue right away. to get out of this perplexity. Look up there. It's when we're in a hurry that you have to know how to take your time. That means absolutely nothing. That's typically a little clue in It's only the truth that counts. It's when you're in a hurry... It's normal. I take back what I just said. Sometimes, when we're in a hurry, you have to know how to go slowly. It's yours Corsica I'm going to say that. You were hoping to go on vacation. In Corsica, it's no, because it is great Corsican quality to know how to take your time. Patience, yes. Serenity. I do not see. - Always not. You are someone who knows take your time in relationships? It depends. Sometimes you get a little impatient? - Sometimes it depends on what it is. What do you do for a living ? Delivery driver. Second clue? - Yes. Look up there! Like many Corsicans, do you like hunting? Could it be a wild boar? What would you have missed? Are you a hunter? No. - At all ? Never shot a little beast? - Not even. Not a deer? - No. Not a rabbit? - Neither. It's rare because Corsica is a hunting country. Not all Corsicans are hunters. - Of course. Not all hunters are Corsican. That doesn't enlighten you then. Nothing at all. Think again because it's a clue. No way. Do you want to with your warm eyes, cross the curtain and discover the person's face who invited you? Yes, I came for that. Oh fuck ! She got me. Did she get you? - Yes. Yes, because we talked just now. On the phone ? Have you seen each other? No, we talked. Talking without seeing each other, is it by message? - Yes. You know each other. - Yes. You spoke to each other to tell you what? To find out if she was okay, that's all. Do you know this person? - Yes. Are you happy to see her? - Yes. You thought Carole's idea inviting you, had crossed your mind or not? A little because usually I always had messages in the morning and I saw that there weren't any this morning. Afterwards, I sent a message, she answered me. Afterwards, there was a hesitation. You have never seen each other, you don't know yourself, You're not even friends in real life. No, we never saw each other. But you are already deciphering like lovers do. Like, excuse me, I was waiting for a message, In the morning she sends me a message. I worried, I send a message again. It’s a bit of a strategic approach. - That's it. We wait. Do you understand why hunting? Carole, it's yours. Hello Christian! - Hi ! I made you come on Only the truth matters because like I told you when we met on the social network there, What caught my attention was your video. I don't know if you remember. You remember those of 2021, 2022 and 2024. I am ready. I didn't see your face, I didn't see it only after as I told you. I said, I have to put on a face on this video. Afterwards, when I put on the face, I said, this person is a beautiful person. I mean, you're a handsome man. THANKS. Also you have qualities That I like. You are a protective person. That, I admit, is what I like. I would like to learn a little more to know you, if you agree of course, and that we can, why not, do something. Now me, I'm ready to hear it, it's you who has, how to say, card in hand, but don't forget that, I really like you physically and mentally too, because you are a very beautiful person. It's the first time that you see it. In fact, through a screen. A bit better only on the network for the moment. Maybe in real in a few seconds, if you open the curtain. Yes. Did you like it straight away or not? Have you seen a photo of it? Yes, I had seen a photo of it on his wall. Yes, yes, she is charming. She is a charming woman. I told him so. It still smells good. It smells good ! Put yourself in our place. We only have one desire, the curtain is opening. Given the somewhat complicated story, there are chances that you tell us, no. That's it. It seems you have to leave abroad soon. Going abroad, no. Because Carole told us that you told him, would you come with me in Dubai? Oh yes ! We talked about it like that. Dubai after... It's another lease. - It's another lease. We'll see. I'm going to ask you to stand up, because it is still necessary, at some point, take a decision. Carole came to tell you that she wanted to put an end to to this relationship, only virtual in any case, and she wanted that you meet, that you know yourself better and physically you can decide to leave this curtain closed, or you can open it if you want to go a little bit further with Carole than, so far you haven't. I want to open. You open ? You're used to it, I'm not. How are you. Yes, I am fine. Friends, whatever your story and the rest of this story, be happy, stay fresh how amazing you are. THANKS. - Thank you for Carole. Thank you for having accepted the invitation. Go this way. There's Rumba in the air. We will now discover, a new story. For that, we will find Rebecca in her dressing room. Rebecca, does Are you accompanied? I am very well accompanied by Océane with whom we talk a little about dancing. Are you a dancer, Océane? - Yes. You know that Rebecca, she's a great dancer. Smaller than Océane, but we share little things. When we met him, a long, long time ago, Rebecca danced in restaurants, in the evening, on the tables, in a frenzied way. It's not false. It's not false ? - No. She always dances on the tables. It's true. You will relax Océane a little who looks a little stressed. No, Océane is very, very calm. Are you a psychologist? - It's an impression. She is a dancer, so she stands very straight, but she is very calm. Where are you from, Océane? I come from Marne. You do not know Who is inviting you this evening? No way. No idea ? - Neither. You will tell us more later. We're going to close the box hermetically. Thank you, it's done, is it closed? - It's closed. We will ask you to welcome someone for whom it is a very important evening. His name is Adrien. Hi Adrien, are you okay? Good evening Adrien. Sit down! Are you okay, Adrien? It's an honor to be here. Thank you, but it's an honor to welcome you, dear friend. It is true that I watched a lot of shows and, frankly, I like it. It's exactly like on TV or is it different? That's different. - Yes. We don't have the same perspective. You have us directly in front of you. - Yes. All our little flaws, the wrinkles. We will say that there are more traits on the faces. It begins well, but you are right to say that. It's true that there are a few traits, wrinkles on the face are normal. We have aged. It will happen to you one day. I have no doubt about it. How old are you ? - 23 years. 23 years. It's a moment extremely important this evening. It's a reunion. It's not really a reunion. It's someone's discovery. The young lady that we just saw in the dressing room and who comes from the Marne with Rebecca, is none other than your little sister. Half-sister. Half-sister, considered a little sister. The specificity of Adrien, it’s because he’s never seen his little sister and she never saw him. No never. Even more, you don't even know if she knows that she has a half-brother. I do not know anything at all. I am aware since her birth, but I do not know if she knows about it. Do you feel the need to know her? - Obviously. What relationship you have with your daddy, Do you see it? No, he doesn't want hear about me. For him, I don't exist, he only has his daughter. All right. - His daughter, Océane. This means that Océane has relations with his dad. What we don't know, we will tell you everything, it was all the precaution that we had to take to prepare for this show. We do not know if this dad announced to Océane, his granddaughter, his daughter now, which he also had a boy from another marriage. I would be surprised if he told her, seeing what he says to me, but we never know. Maybe, by chance, he could have talked to her about it, or perhaps his mother in Océane. We have prepared you well before this show. Truly, I repeat, we're going to take a closer look this evening because we are dealing with a young girl who is 18 years old and who comes to learn this evening somewhere, the existence of a brother which she may have no idea about. You will have to be very careful and put on lots of gloves, and we will help you with that. It's not about putting it uncomfortable, nor to embarrass her. Your story touched us, touched our team and she tried to retrace it in pictures. Look ! Adrien is the unsupported child of a youthful love. His parents separate while he is a baby and Adrien will have to grow up without dad. The boy finds his place in a new home. After years, his mother rebuilds her life and will have two daughters. The wise and introverted little boy turns into a big brother caring and protective. Adrien knows a life normal and happy family. He is five years old when he learns of the birth of a half-sister on his biological father's side. This little sister, whose name is Océane, he will never see her. Adrien grew up thinking about her often. Do they look alike, Does she know of his existence? He doesn't know her but he feels that she is part of him. As he becomes a young man, he is well aware that the situation is complicated. How to find it? How to contact her? He knows nothing about her, he only has his first name. Adrien calls on the teams from It's only the truth that counts to find her. How will Océane react when she discovers the existence of this half-brother? Will she find a place for him in his life? As we can see, it’s a complex story, as there are in many families, children toasting, all that. You are today a young man built. Do you have the impression that it stopped you, sometimes, to live your life? Yes, absolutely, because everything is missing, even without talking about Océane, but speaking of my father properly said, it's always been a blockage for me in the sense that I always said that I didn't know myself 100%. I only know half of what I am. I miss that other half that I still don't have and that I try to tell myself today, I wouldn't have it and then, too bad. How you already live the fact that your father never wanted to hear from you? At the beginning it was very complicated to tell ourselves that, for him, we are nothing, we are absolutely nothing. By force, we get used to it, we say to ourselves that too bad. Are we building despite this? - Yes. I never considered it like a father. For me, my father, he's my father-in-law, because he came into my life when I was six or seven. It was he who made... He was the father figure. It's the only fatherly image that I had, He’s the one who taught me everything. If I am where I am, it's thanks to him. What do you have as information about her? You have already seen it, crossed paths... Or a photo of her? I already found his Facebook account and I already sent an invitation on his Facebook account. How long ago ? About two or three years ago. I never received a response, neither positive nor negative. She no longer lives with her dad either, that is to say his mother and your common dad are separated. His mother and father are separated for several years. Okay then, this dad who doesn't want to see you, it is also not everyday in Océane's life. I know there's a little bit, seen that in his father's profile photo, he is with her. He still shares moments with Océane. You are not afraid that it could be an obstacle to this relationship that you want to build with it? No, no, because I tell myself that Océane is 18 years old today, that she is an adult and that she is free to make your own choices, and if I go through it directly, it's because I think she has free will Let's be clear, she's your sister that you meet, and not your father. It did not work. I'm moving on. He doesn't want to, I don't force him. I'm trying with my sister. And then, if it works, so much the better. This little sister, you want what to tell him today? I would already like to tell him who I am, introduce myself to her and ask her if she wants let's get to know each other and we try to create, to recreate these links that we didn't have. To discover yourself and share if she wishes. That's it. There is a place in your life for a new sister? Of course, me, there is room for everyone. Calm down because we are going to come to your house. Especially, if you cook well. You want to ask him to be part of your life, but you would respect the opposite decision, if that were the case. If she were to refuse, I would totally understand. It can be a shock like that. Then, as you often say, it's not necessarily a definitive no, and if so, if she says no today, maybe in a few years, it will be me on the other side. A few weeks, a few months. - Certainly. No, I would have made the effort, at least I would have seen it and at least I would have spoken to him... You will have done your part. - That's it. You know the show, since you watch it and enjoy it. We are going to receive Océane in a moment, on the other side of the board, the curtain will be closed. Second, we will ask him to discover the face of the one who invited him. This face will be yours and obviously, maybe she won't even at all know who you are, so ask yourself what you are doing there. You are ready ? - Yes. We let you mature again a few short moments your words and your speech and we are going to welcome Océane on the other side. The curtain will close behind us and as soon as it's closed, we can reopen. We close the curtain, we reopen the connection with the lodge. You know the principle. Rebecca, can you hear us? Still with Océane? Still with Océane, and it is an extremely zen lodge, because Océane is very, very calm. Slowly, I'm going to ask him to get up, to follow Sam, and the truth is at the end of the hallway. Come join me Océane. Welcome. Delighted to meet you. Good evening Océane, sit there. You have splendid eyes. - Thank you so much. Gorgeous ! You know the show, maybe you’ve already seen it? Yes. You never imagined for a single moment, watching him on TV, or on social networks, that you would be invited face Pascal and Laurent one day? No way. Since you received the invitation, I imagine you asked yourself full of questions. Yes. - Tracks ? Not much, no. - No ? Are you in high school? - Yes. Which class ? - Terminale. What are you about to do? in your wishes? Medical studies. We are sorely lacking doctors are needed. I offer you a little hint, to try to discover, to put you on the track a little of the person who invited you? Yes. Look at these screens. Someone will ask you a question. What is most important to you? in life ? Big question, big question. What is the most important thing of your life today, at the age of 18? Frankly I do not know. Your studies ? - Yes. You have brothers and sisters ? - Two. Who have friends. I imagine friends. Do friends matter to you? - Yes. You are surrounded friends? Yes. Does the truth matter? - Yes too. Only the truth matters. May I offer you a second clue? Yes. You can say no, if you want. Pascal tries to give clues to everybody. There are people who say no to him, we don't want your clue. Yes I want. This is why it works. A second clue. Is it possible to love someone we don't know? I think yes. Are there any links that extend beyond the bonds of knowledge, friendship, living together? I don't really know, no. Doesn't that put you on the right track? - No. Still, it's a clue. In this case, I offer you directly to see the person's face Who is inviting you this evening? Yes. It's happening again in these screens, look at the camera. You nod. I do not know at all the person behind. Pretty boy ! Yes. Do you want to know the first name of this young man? Yes. His name is Adrien. Does not ring a bell. - That doesn't put you on the right path. You know what ? It's normal that it doesn't mean anything to you. You want us to let Adrien speak and tell you what does he have to say to you on this set? Yes. Adrien, Océane is listening to you, it's yours, my friend. Good evening Océane. - Good evening. It's normal that you don't know who I am. However, I know you. I know you exist since you were born. It's complicated to say, It's going to be hard to hear, but I'm your half-brother. We have the same father. I always remained in the shadows for reasons which will not be mentioned this evening, because that's not the point. Since I was five years old, I know you exist, and since my adolescence, I have this desire to know you, I wanted to know you. I actually started the steps four years ago. I really tried everything to try to find you. My last chance, was to invite you on this set, to tell you the truth and introduce myself to you. I live in Saint-Dizier, I am 23 years old and I have two other half-sisters that I had from my mother's side. I was missing one. She's on the other side of the curtain. What I came to ask you this evening, that's if you want it, of course, I don't force you to do anything, I know it's a lot at once, but what I came to ask you, that's if you wanted that we get to know each other and then, possibly, let's try to recreate these links of brothers and sisters that we could never have, because I value that we have every right to have these links because we are not the actors of all that. We can become actors in all of this, but we weren't. You didn't expect at all to discover your half-brother? No not at all. You had never heard of of Adrien's existence? No way. You have the same dad, you understand. Adrien has no relationship with your daddy and tonight, there is no question of bringing that up and to judge this absence of relationship. Adrien is not here for that. He is there because he knows that he has a half-sister that he never had the chance to know. Hence this approach. You are expected to be an adult. At five years old, little child that he was, his mother told him that he had a half-sister. He really learned it like that. Can you imagine what it feels like? in a five year old child to learn that we have a little sister. When you are a boy, It’s something strong and cute. He tried to look for you or find yourself in vain. He didn't tell many people about it. He had his family secret with him, and it is with this secret that he is coming to this set this evening and try to share it a little with you. Try to make sure that if you accept it, you have some relationship with him. Afterwards, it will be your life, this will be your adult life, to decide what you will do of this story. That was the meaning of his approach this evening. Are you affected by this approach? - Yes a lot. I think It’s nice to try to find myself again. What does it feel like all of a sudden? to discover that we have a big brother? It's shocking, it's really shocking, but it's moving at the same time. Why is this shocking? During all those years, we think we are the eldest, the greatest, and, in the end, we discover that there is someone above us. I didn't have that problem. Without ever, a single second, to be in judgment, you say to yourself why was it hidden from me? No not at all. That's not the problem. - No. Did your mother accompany you? - Yes. We did it with your mother's consent, we took a lot of precautions, you know it too, before doing this show, because we do TV of course, but that's people's lives let's talk on this set. We wanted to be very careful, 18 years old, you are a young woman. We didn't want that it creates upheavals that would make you want it to the whole earth, or to people for not having told you before, or discover a part of people's lives that you love, who surround you and who had you, maybe for personal reasons, hidden a few little things, but it's their choice. We wanted you to do your judgment alone, I was going to say like a grown-up, but like an adult. A resemblance? Yes, especially at eye level. It's clear. Share the competition with the most beautiful eyes of the moment. That is certain and certain. I'm going to ask you to stand up, according to the principle of broadcast, to place you here on the little cross, to face this curtain. On the side of this curtain, there is Adrien, your half-brother. You didn't know it before, but it exists, it is a few years old older than you, five years, if I count correctly, and he came today to meet you and tell you that he wants for a long time that you are part of his life. You don't have to to open this curtain and if you do, you tell him, yes, there is a place for you in my life, I hope so anyways, and I want us to try. Do you leave this curtain closed as it has been since you were born, or do you open it? No, I'll open it. We open the curtain, thank you. Océane, Adrien, maybe you can kiss. Relieved ? - Yes. That’s already a lot of weight released. Is she as beautiful as in your dreams? You imagine your little sister. Afterwards, I could never put on a face. I had never been able to put on a face. Yes, definitely. In any case, yes, she is beautiful, she is fulfilled, she is built and mature, we said it earlier. It's always important to have a doctor in his family. She sees the importance of this step that you are taking. She thanked you for it on the other side of the curtain. It belongs to you the future you can build together. Very, very happy anyway to have found you and you come together. Hi Océane. See you soon. Come on, accompany your sister. We will now return on one of the beautiful sequences It's only the truth that counts. A moment that we love in the show. Leslie's story, who had come to reconnect on this set with his dad from which she had been separated for years. An extremely difficult relationship, separated parents, new mother-in-law, stormy relations with this mother-in-law, long separation from his dad. This is the plateau of Only the truth matters who had welcomed this reunion. Look. Good evening Leslie. Sit down! Are you okay, Leslie? - How are you. This is an important evening for you. A little stressed? A little stressed, we would be less. You come this evening to find a father that you haven't seen since you were the age of... About ten or 11 years old. Do you have today? 22 years old. It's been a dozen years. A dad who was very little present before. I saw him three or four times in my life. In all. The last time I saw him, It was around ten or 11 years old. We had taken a short week of vacation. I remember a little moment with him, that we had spent under the stars. We slept in sleeping bags and that was it, it was a little moment. That's a beautiful memory, one of the rare memories with this dad who is so absent. What then made again, your paths have separated? I returned to a shelter. I had a very difficult childhood. I had small difficulties with my mom. Besides, no one from my family is not aware of my approach. You have seen very little of him, since he separated from your mother very, very early, when you were four. That's it ? A little before, and after, he came back to see us. To reconstruct history with your mother. It didn't happen. That went badly. He's gone from your life again and it's a dad that you have very, very little seen. The last time I had it on the phone, about three years ago, and we were supposed to see each other, but if you want, I am having difficulties with my mother-in-law. She didn't want me in her life. Maybe she was scared, she had her reasons. I am not here to put him on trial. She surely had her reasons. Your father's new wife. It's because of this in particular that I couldn't see my dad. Reviewed three years ago, when you have this contact. He wanted to see me, but in secret, he didn't want to see me officially. What image do you have of this father? Do you have any grievances against him? You blame him to have been so absent? I resented him when I was young, but having grown a little older I understand a little. I understand that he wanted preserve a family and his marriage above all. I have a little resentment because we are four children and I am the only one which he did not take care of. But I tell myself that there are reasons. You want to know them. I would like to get back in touch for my own well-being. I'm 22 years old, I'll be a mother one day, I will be married one day, I need to know who I am. I became a woman and maybe the girl that he had at three years old on the phone scared him. Maybe today the woman he is going to see... There's no reason to scare him. You just want to be close and understand. I don't plan to ask him for anything in return. I just want some advice, I just want to know my life and have a father-daughter role, daughter-father, which is completely normal. Let him tell me a little about the three paths. That's good, my daughter, that's not good. A little bit of that role. I'm not here to ask him financial support or anything. I'm doing very well. Leslie, you know that curtain may remain closed, you should be prepared. We have prepared you for it too, but it is a process very important to you, you also need an answer. I will never give up. Maybe one day, he will be ready. Maybe not today, but I won't give up. We hope he's ready tonight to meet you and get to know you. We're going to go see Daphne and see if he is by his side. We'll leave you for a few moments. See you soon. The curtain is closing, Pascal. We will ask Gabriel Coteau to open the connection with Daphne's lodge. You are there ? Yes, I'm with the charming Francis. Good evening Francis. He has a delicious Marseille accent. It's a slightly sunny lodge thanks to you. Francis, you are passionate for nature and more precisely, you are a gamekeeper in Callas. You have a second passion that really fills your life and your heart is your children. I was able to see the photos of your children. This is really what keeps in any case with a smile on your face, etc. A bit of the Marseille sun too. - Quite. Can we also enjoy a little of this sun? I don't know if I'm going to want to separate myself from Francis, because it was a very nice company, but I think duty calls you. I'm going to ask you to stand up, to follow Sam, and the truth is just down the hall. Good evening Francis, are you okay? Nice to meet you, this is Laurent. Francis, sit down! Thanks for coming, for having abandoned the Marseille sun. The weather is nice in Marseille. More than in Paris. Yes that's for sure. It is common. This beautiful accent, a good mood, a pleasant face, all that, to come on set It's only the truth that counts. It's probably something that you hadn't expected. Do you watch the show a bit? - Oh yes. You never said to yourself, well, I'm going to find myself too in front of Laurent and Pascal. We always think about it a little bit anyway. Depending on the life we've had. We all have the opportunity to come to this set one day. We always manage to think about it. I will offer you as per the principle of the show a clue, a question that will you asked in these screens. Look. In life, do you believe that we always have a choice? Big question It's only the truth that counts. Do we always have a choice? Unfortunately no. It's history and the experience that tells us so. What you think ? When you look your life back, you say to yourself, I didn't always have a choice or the means of choice. If I had the choice, I might have done it differently. For many things? - Yes. Regrets ? - A little bit. Things that you wouldn't necessarily do it again the same way if you could go back. Not having been up to the task. Maybe I should have been. Who can say that he was always up to it? Recognize this, it is a great proof of intelligence, sensitivity and lucidity. Do I suggest to you, if you agree, to pierce this curtain with your gaze via screens to see who is on the other side and who wants to talk to you? Absolutely ! Are you ready, Francis? The truth is in the screens, she will appear there in a few seconds. It's my daughter. Yes yes. It's my daughter. Which is magnificent, by the way. Not a second of hesitation to identify it. She's not here tonight, nor to judge you, nor to say bad things about you, but just to talk to you. She said she got you on the phone at 18 and it wasn't easy, and that today, she is no longer a young teenage girl, a little rebellious, but a young woman and she matured in her speech. Do you want to listen to it? - Yes. Leslie, it's yours. Good evening dad. - Good evening darling. His little queen. I don't know if you remember? Oh yes. I made you come tonight because I feel more like a woman today and I think compared to my life today, until now, I have always managed on her own. Firstly, I wanted to tell you, that I don't want to be a burden. I want to reconnect with you, because you are my father, my blood. I need you, I need advice, I need a dad. I have this lack since I was little. You probably had your reasons. I'm not here to judge you. Far from there, I think you had your reasons and maybe today, we can try, I don't know. We can try to get back into a relationship, even if you want by phone initially. What I would like is to see you again, hold you in my arms, but I won't force your hand. I don't want to force your hand. I don't know what to tell you yet. You don't force my hand. You know very well what happened, why we didn't see each other anymore. I can tell you that I am going through a divorce. From there, things are no longer the same. You know why I didn't see you. I know, I chose this moment, I did not know. Besides, I apologize. I hope to be part of your life. It's never too late to do well. I hope you will be proud of me. I am a 22 year old girl. I know your age. I am in training, I'm in an apartment all alone, I have no contact with my mother. The step I'm taking this evening is personal. None of my family is not aware. I'll let them know tomorrow. My mother won't come between us because I don't talk to him anymore. It's been about a year and a few months, for reasons that I will explain to you off the show. I would like to prove to you the young woman that I have become. I went through difficult times, I was in a foster home, I wasn't treated very well by some people in my family. I have become a young woman. I am proud of myself and I wish you were too. I already am. I love you daddy, I always loved you, I always thought of you. I don't know if you, you had thoughts for me. Now your choice, is to let you close the curtain, I respect him. You'll think it's weird to say, I love you, because I don't know you, but it's wrong, it's the blood that speaks. I would respect your decision, I would respect you, but I won't give up, I wouldn't let it go. That's all I had to tell you. I love you. Me too. Me too. You thought a lot about your daughter For more than 20 years ? Yes, and tonight I was thinking that she was the only one to do that. You came knowing it, being convinced that this would be it? Deep down, yes. When you showed your photos, Daphne said you showed her photos of children. Do you have other children? How have you managed this for 20 years? Have children from three different marriages, this is not obvious. If I'm going through a divorce today is why. Because I couldn't see my daughter the way I wanted. I was faced with a dilemma, I had a wall in front of me, I had two young children, and I had to make a choice. The choice, I say it in front of Leslie, I love my daughter, but my two children were young, they were six and eight years old, and I chose my two children. That's why you said that sometimes we don't always have a choice. Seen from the outside, it seems that we have a choice for others who judge. It's easy to judge, but it is not always obvious. We know. I'm going to ask you to stand up, please, Francis, on the small cross facing the curtain. There is on the other side of this curtain, your eldest daughter, your daughter Leslie, who comes to see you after years and years of separation, misunderstandings, of incomprehension, of distance, and who would like this evening, without asking you anything else only things of the heart and a presence, well, finally abolish separation and the distance symbolized by this curtain that you can choose to leave closed, but which you can also open. What do you decide? I open the curtain. Go ahead Francis. Leslie and Francis, you have 1000 things to say to each other. We are very happy for having contributed to these reunions. You can be proud of your daughter, because he's a great person, a beautiful person. Lots of happiness to you. - Thank you so much. And no more separation. Thank you 1000 times for your broadcast. Congratulations to all. Twenty years later. What happened to Leslie? We receive it now on our set. Good evening Leslie. My name is still Laurent. I present to you the one who is also called always Pascal. You're doing well, you're sparkling. THANKS. You made yourself look super beautiful. Always beautiful, I imagine, but pleasure to see us again. Twenty years later, give us quickly get news from Francis. It was a little difficult, but we still contact each other a little. He is fine ? He is fine. He's a little tired. He aged like the rest of us. You don't really very, very close relations with him? That is to say at the exit from our board? It was still a little more, but after, there were disputes, some small disagreements. After all, he's my dad after all, he’s still my dad. Where does he live ? He still lives near Marseille. We salute him if he looks at us tonight. We said to ourselves with Pascal, during the broadcast from the summary of the story, we both talked to each other, we said to ourselves, it's funny to see how do girls which were sometimes not very well treated, sometimes by their mom and dad are very apologetic. It's funny, when you see the story, the first thing you say to him, when he says, I got divorced, I'm breaking up, you tell him, I'm sorry, sorry to catch you at this time or call you at that time. Like it's your fault and you still had the guilt buried deep inside you, while a priori, you had nothing to feel guilty about. It's true. We understood it well looking back at the history of the time. It was rather your mother-in-law, Francis' new companion, who had done that you no longer see each other. He clearly says, I am in the process of divorce. It's going to change things, we will be able to make contact. She was the one who created the divide between you. Exactly, I also a mother who is complicated. It didn't help at the time either. Is it that if I had to do it again today, we understand well, and no one has ever claimed here, have a magic wand and be able to change everything in people's lives. She's going to apologize in two seconds. If we had to redo it, would you do it again this same approach? With great pleasure, I got answers also anyway, because I didn't know everything. I only had one version on my mother's side. I had the dad side version too. Frankly, I encourage people who don't have a dad or who have difficulties, to do your show, because you are a great help, Thank you a lot. It helped me evolve and to know who I am, as I said in the previous one, 18 years ago. I need to know who I am. Today I know who I am. Have you become a mother? Yes, a little Tiago who is 10 years old. We met him the other day. Where do you live today? I live on the Seine, at sea, exactly. Not very far from Francis. No, we're really close. You say, he's still my dad. He's still my dad, he’s still my dad. You will be there for him just in case. Just in case, when needed. Your sequence that we have just seen again got millions of views on social networks for three or four years. Since confinement, we are going to say that our show had a species incredible surge of views, almost three billion views in the world cumulatively. We don't say that to brag because this is not our job today, but that's our job at the time and the work of the team which was constituted around us, which is greeted by this success, this revival of Only the truth matters. We no longer have the straps. No better, no better. You are beautiful people. - You are right to point this out. It's possible to take a photo with you? Moments and we will be there for you. I see nothing. Let's go ! It's already over, Pascal. - Yes, it's just goodbye. We will reestablish the connection with the lodge for Rebecca and Sam. They stand arm in arm, arm in arm. Hello friends, have a good week! Hello both. - Thanks for being there. You who are watching us tonight, do you know that Only the truth matters continues on C8. This show has really found its channel and we are very, very happy to be there with you. See you in a week, same day, same time, same appointment. Be happy. See you soon. See you.
