["Petals" continues over headphones]
5
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:12,281
[in Korean] Welcome.
6
00:01:13,615 --> 00:01:16,952
[in English]
Sorry, I didn't see you. May I help you?
7
00:01:21,123 --> 00:01:22,749
Did you make a reservation?
8
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:24,960
What are you listening?
9
00:01:26,295 --> 00:01:28,839
Uh, it's Korean music.
10
00:01:30,007 --> 00:01:30,841
Can I?
11
00:01:32,885 --> 00:01:34,136
Yeah, of course.
12
00:01:37,306 --> 00:01:40,309
["Petals" continues over headphones]

00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:01,788
How long do you want to stay?
14
00:02:07,294 --> 00:02:11,089
Mm... I don't know yet.
But, uh, three nights? It's okay?
15
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,926
It's as you wish, of course.
16
00:02:13,926 --> 00:02:15,511
I need your passport, please.
17
00:02:18,096 --> 00:02:18,972
Thanks.
18
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,895

[indistinct chatter]
21
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:39,701
- [in Korean] Cheers!
- [in Korean] Cheers!
22
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:48,418
[Dongwan] Ah!
23
00:02:48,877 --> 00:02:49,878
[in French] Is it good?
24
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:52,422
[Tena clears throat]
25
00:02:54,091 --> 00:02:57,636
[in French] So, Freddie,
do you really know nothing about Korea?
26
00:02:57,636 --> 00:02:58,595
[in French] Nothing.
27
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:03,183
- What are you going to do?
- Uh, I don't have any plans.
28
00:03:04,142 --> 00:03:08,146
Nonetheless, Freddie, what would
you like to see during your stay?
29
00:03:08,939 --> 00:03:10,983
Everything. Is that possible?
30
00:03:10,983 --> 00:03:14,152
- Not in two weeks.
- No?
31
00:03:14,152 --> 00:03:15,863
Totally impossible.
32
00:03:16,905 --> 00:03:19,616
- It's funny hearing you speak French.
- [laughs]
33
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:22,870
- [Tena] Oh.
- Ah! No, you mustn't.
34
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:26,832
- Really?
- Let others refill your glass.
35
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:28,542
Why?
36
00:03:29,126 --> 00:03:30,919
It's insulting otherwise.
37
00:03:31,587 --> 00:03:35,007
It would mean
your friends aren't treating you right.
38
00:03:35,007 --> 00:03:36,925
Insulting? For whom?
39
00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:40,137
Mm... for both.
40
00:03:57,321 --> 00:03:58,197
Is this your mother?
41
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:00,866
My biological mother, yes, I think so.
42
00:04:04,953 --> 00:04:06,371
It's all I have of Korea.
43
00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:12,836
A few years ago,
there was a TV programme... What was it?
44
00:04:12,836 --> 00:04:13,921
The Morning Court?
45
00:04:15,005 --> 00:04:16,923
Not that, the other, older one.
46
00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:20,135
- I Want to See This Person?
- Yes, that.
47
00:04:20,636 --> 00:04:24,681
Uh, it was a popular programme
where adoptees met up
48
00:04:24,681 --> 00:04:27,559
- with their parents.
- Actually, it's...
49
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:29,686
[sighs] What is it called in French?
50
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:32,272
A play on words.
51
00:04:32,898 --> 00:04:34,525
In Korean, it means both
52
00:04:34,525 --> 00:04:37,861
"I want to see this person"
and "I miss this person."
53
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:42,199
Your story brings to mind
an old Mongolian poem...
54
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:46,411
entitled Land of my Birth.
55
00:04:46,411 --> 00:04:47,496
Oh, yeah?
56
00:04:47,496 --> 00:04:51,792
[Tena] Dongwan did comparative studies
of French and Asian literature.
57
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:52,835
[Dongwan] Mm...
58
00:04:54,086 --> 00:04:57,381
I can't say it correctly in French,
59
00:04:57,381 --> 00:04:59,091
but it goes something like this:
60
00:05:01,635 --> 00:05:04,471
Land where, in summer
61
00:05:05,931 --> 00:05:07,766
The earth is like
62
00:05:08,517 --> 00:05:10,143
A carpet of flowers
63
00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:15,899
The song of the birds, of the land
64
00:05:16,567 --> 00:05:17,985
As far as the south
65
00:05:20,404 --> 00:05:23,365
This, all of this
66
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:26,702
Is the land of my birth
67
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:30,956
Wow! [chuckles]
68
00:05:30,956 --> 00:05:32,583
- [in Korean] Cheers!
- [in Korean] Cheers!
69
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:41,675
Oh.
70
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:46,430
[in French] Tell me, Freddie, mm...
71
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:47,973
do you know Hammond?
72
00:05:48,724 --> 00:05:49,892
Who is Ammonde?
73
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:52,728
[Dongwan] No, Hammond.
74
00:05:52,728 --> 00:05:54,313
It's the adoption centre.
75
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:56,690
It's a very famous place in Korea.
76
00:05:57,691 --> 00:05:59,484
Okay, and...?
77
00:06:02,237 --> 00:06:04,406
Well, you could go there.
78
00:06:06,742 --> 00:06:09,411
[in French] Are you going to
try and find your parents?
79
00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:11,705
No.
80
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:14,666
Uh... why not?
81
00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:19,296
[lively pensive music playing]
82
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,841
Do you know what sight-reading is?
83
00:06:27,179 --> 00:06:30,516
It's when you play a score
for the first time.
84
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:34,311
You have to be able
to analyse the music in one glance,
85
00:06:34,311 --> 00:06:36,939
evaluate the danger and jump in.
86
00:06:38,774 --> 00:06:40,275
Are you a musician?
87
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:42,027
I was, but that's not the point.
88
00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:45,906
There are signs all over
that you don't see.
89
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:47,366
But you can learn to read them
90
00:06:47,366 --> 00:06:49,076
and catch them when they appear.
91
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:53,121
- What signs?
- Fear, for example.
92
00:06:57,501 --> 00:06:58,585
Want to see?
93
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:01,672
[music intensifies]
94
00:07:10,806 --> 00:07:13,016

96
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:18,021
[in French] Take a seat!
97
00:07:18,021 --> 00:07:20,566

- [in English] Sit, sit!

Soju first! Then cheers! Come on!

- [in English] Wait.
101
00:07:35,831 --> 00:07:36,665
[in French] Come on.
102
00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:38,500
Come on!
103
00:07:40,335 --> 00:07:41,336
Come on!
104
00:07:45,549 --> 00:07:49,052
[Freddie in English]
They are my friends, Tena and Dongwan.
105
00:07:49,052 --> 00:07:50,387
[in French] Is that right?
106
00:07:50,387 --> 00:07:52,514
[in English] Dongwan. They're Koreans!
107
00:07:53,098 --> 00:07:54,850
[man in Korean] So they speak Korean!
108
00:07:54,850 --> 00:07:56,935
[speaking in Korean]
109
00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:01,231
[lively pensive music continues]
110
00:08:02,441 --> 00:08:03,442
You want to join us?
111
00:08:03,442 --> 00:08:06,195
- [man 1 in Korean] Is she your friend?
- [in Korean] Uh, yes.
112
00:08:06,195 --> 00:08:09,114
[man 1] And... has she had a lot to drink?
113
00:08:09,114 --> 00:08:10,032
She's had a few.
114
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:11,909
[man 2] What is she doing?
115
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:13,952
[man 3] She's bringing them over.
116
00:08:13,952 --> 00:08:16,038
[men laughing and chattering]
117
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,248
- [in Korean] Hello!
- Hello!
118
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:20,667
Can you put chairs? Put the chairs too.
119
00:08:23,045 --> 00:08:25,714
And you, you can sit here. Yeah.
120
00:08:26,507 --> 00:08:29,343
- [in French] Come.
- [French] Are you sure?
121
00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:31,053
Yes, I'm sure.
122
00:08:33,013 --> 00:08:34,932
- [in Korean] Hello!
- [in Korean] Nice to meet you.
123
00:08:41,270 --> 00:08:42,313
Wait, move.
124
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:44,024
- Do you know her well?
- No, not at all.
125
00:08:48,445 --> 00:08:49,446
- Hello!
- Hello!
126
00:08:49,446 --> 00:08:50,531
[music fades]
127
00:08:53,116 --> 00:08:55,619
[in French] Like the guy with the fringe?
Not bad, huh?
128
00:08:56,954 --> 00:08:58,372
- No?
- No.
129
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:03,627
[in English] One bottle of soju, please.
No, no, no, two, two, two!
130
00:09:03,627 --> 00:09:06,380
[man in Korean] Two bottles of soju
and a plate of chicken feet!
131
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:08,674
Your friend is very original.
132
00:09:09,174 --> 00:09:10,634
[in Korean] In what way?
133
00:09:10,634 --> 00:09:12,219
[in English] My name Jiwan.
134
00:09:13,303 --> 00:09:14,429
Where are you from?
135
00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:17,474
France.
136
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:20,310
France?
137
00:09:20,894 --> 00:09:22,855
France!
138
00:09:22,855 --> 00:09:24,147
France?
139
00:09:24,147 --> 00:09:27,609
- France!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
140
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:29,278
France!
141
00:09:29,278 --> 00:09:30,487
[in English] Paris Baguette!
142

[all laughing]
143
00:09:34,992 --> 00:09:38,370
[in French]
It's a famous chain of Korean bakeries.
144
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:40,038
She doesn't look French...
145
00:09:40,038 --> 00:09:42,332
Who cares? Let's toast. Cheers!
146
00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:43,917
[all whoop]
147
00:09:48,881 --> 00:09:49,715
Oh.
148

[man speaks indistinctly in Korean]
149
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,762
[all laughing]
150
00:09:58,473 --> 00:10:01,852
She has a typically Korean face,
doesn't she?
151
00:10:03,437 --> 00:10:06,732
[Tena in French] She says
your face is like a long-time Korean.
152
00:10:07,566 --> 00:10:11,320
- [in French] Long-time?
- [Dongwan] From ancient, ancestral Korea.
153
00:10:12,821 --> 00:10:15,908
She's right. You have pure Korean traits.
154
00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:17,367
I do?
155
00:10:18,035 --> 00:10:19,620
[in Korean] Thank you.
156
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:23,624
I wish I could speak another language.
157
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:26,543
[in English] Him also, original Korean!

[woman in Korean] Shall we play a game?
160
00:10:38,096 --> 00:10:40,807
- [Jiwan] Yeah, let's!
- [woman] A game! Any ideas?
161
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:43,268
Let's start with the song.

[in English] You see her.
164
00:10:47,397 --> 00:10:49,316
- [in English] Yeah.
- We explain.
165
00:10:49,316 --> 00:10:50,234

00:29:26,558 --> 00:29:29,228
[in French]
He's asking if you speak Korean.
359
00:30:07,975 --> 00:30:12,479
[Father] Did she lack anything
when she was growing up?
360
00:30:15,691 --> 00:30:19,319
[Tena] He wants to know
if you lacked anything in France.
361
00:30:20,529 --> 00:30:24,408
[in French] Tell him no.
My parents took good care of me.
362
00:30:26,326 --> 00:30:32,082
[Tena in Korean] She says
her adoptive parents were good to her.
363
00:30:38,338 --> 00:30:41,341
["Petals" playing]
364
00:32:28,949 --> 00:32:30,951
[indistinct chatter]
365
00:32:35,873 --> 00:32:36,874
Take a look.
366
00:32:37,916 --> 00:32:38,750
[in Korean] No.
367
00:32:38,750 --> 00:32:39,793
[in English] No need.
368
00:32:39,793 --> 00:32:42,004
See if there's anything you need.
369
00:32:43,922 --> 00:32:44,923
They're pretty.
370
00:32:48,510 --> 00:32:49,344
How much?
371
00:32:49,887 --> 00:32:51,388
[in French] I hate ballet shoes.
372
00:32:52,890 --> 00:32:55,893
[ripples susurrating]
373
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,366
[Father]
That island is called Mouse Poop Island.
374
00:33:11,909 --> 00:33:14,703
We call it that because it's so small.
375
00:33:15,537 --> 00:33:17,789
When the tide is low,
376
00:33:17,789 --> 00:33:21,960
you can walk to the island,
you don't need a boat.
377
00:33:23,295 --> 00:33:25,380
When I was a kid, me and my friends
378
00:33:25,881 --> 00:33:30,093
would spend afternoons fishing there.
379
00:33:30,844 --> 00:33:35,474
The adults had to come and get us by boat.
380
00:33:36,308 --> 00:33:39,478
They would bawl us out every time.
381
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,232
But actually, fishing...
382
00:33:43,899 --> 00:33:48,904
is their whole life
for the people who live here.
383
00:33:50,197 --> 00:33:54,618
My grandfather was a fisherman,
my father was a fisherman,
384
00:33:55,452 --> 00:33:57,663
and I was, too, for a long time.
385
00:33:59,498 --> 00:34:02,000
Until they built the seawall.
386
00:34:02,793 --> 00:34:07,172
The biggest seawall in the world,
they said on TV.
387
00:34:08,005 --> 00:34:09,550
Today,
388
00:34:10,050 --> 00:34:13,929
your father repairs
air-conditioning units.
389
00:34:19,101 --> 00:34:22,688
Yeon-hee's mother's name is Son Mija.
390
00:34:24,606 --> 00:34:27,109
[in French]
Your mother's name is Son Mija.
391
00:34:33,824 --> 00:34:37,870
We tried to live
with my mother in Gunsan...
392
00:34:39,621 --> 00:34:42,708
but Mija preferred to go
and live in the city,
393
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:46,003
so she left.
394
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,467
Your mother wanted
to live in the city, so she left.
395
00:34:55,512 --> 00:34:56,471
[in French] Is that all?
396
00:34:57,306 --> 00:34:58,348
Wait.
397
00:34:58,348 --> 00:34:59,641
To this day...
398
00:35:00,893 --> 00:35:03,395
I never forgot Yeon-hee.
399
00:35:05,063 --> 00:35:06,565
I wondered...
400
00:35:07,441 --> 00:35:09,151
if she was alive, where she lived.
401
00:35:11,028 --> 00:35:13,822
He never stopped thinking about you.
402
00:35:15,490 --> 00:35:19,411
He wanted to know if you were alive
403
00:35:19,411 --> 00:35:21,705
and which country you were living in.
404
00:35:26,627 --> 00:35:28,629
[cell phone beeping]
405
00:35:36,470 --> 00:35:38,931
My father has arrived, we're very late.
406
00:35:52,945 --> 00:35:55,864
Is there anything
you want to do this evening?
407
00:35:58,033 --> 00:35:58,867
No, nothing.
408
00:36:00,285 --> 00:36:01,870
Just fall into your bed.
409
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,257
[cell phone buzzes]
410
00:36:23,308 --> 00:36:24,518
[Tena] It's your father.
411
00:36:27,020 --> 00:36:29,523
"Yeon-hee, I am so unhappy.
412
00:36:30,607 --> 00:36:35,279
I hope you now understand
why I had to let you go.
413
00:36:36,405 --> 00:36:39,950
I regret the harm I have caused you.
414
00:36:42,911 --> 00:36:46,832
I cry every day since..."
415
00:36:46,832 --> 00:36:47,749
Tena.
416
00:36:49,751 --> 00:36:50,794
Stop, please.
417
00:37:08,770 --> 00:37:09,605
[in Korean] Eat.
418
00:37:19,531 --> 00:37:21,867
- [in Korean] It's delicious.
- [in Korean] It's delicious!
419
00:37:23,577 --> 00:37:25,162
[Father] You are welcome here.
420
00:37:25,871 --> 00:37:29,833
I'm so happy
that we can spend three days together.
421
00:37:30,709 --> 00:37:33,504
[in English]
Your father say, "Welcome home.
422
00:37:34,838 --> 00:37:39,593
We very happy together three days."
423
00:37:40,677 --> 00:37:43,388
- Thank you.
- [in Korean] Thank you!
424
00:37:43,889 --> 00:37:45,724
My wife and children
425
00:37:46,350 --> 00:37:48,602
knew nothing of your existence.
426
00:37:50,729 --> 00:37:55,984
Hm, I did not want to cause them sorrow.
427
00:37:55,984 --> 00:37:59,363
Not so fast, big brother,
I will translate.
428
00:38:01,198 --> 00:38:05,077
[in English] Father no speaking about you
429
00:38:05,077 --> 00:38:10,040
because family sad.
430
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,792
Yeah. Mm.
431
00:38:13,085 --> 00:38:16,338
But when I received
the letter from Hammond,
432
00:38:16,338 --> 00:38:18,465
I told them everything.
433
00:38:19,091 --> 00:38:24,054
But Hammond called after everything speak,
434
00:38:25,013 --> 00:38:28,267
all speak about you.
435
00:38:35,816 --> 00:38:39,069
Why didn't you take hangwa cakes?
See if there are any left.
436
00:38:44,491 --> 00:38:45,701
Take that.
437
00:39:01,633 --> 00:39:06,180
[Freddie in English]
Um... is it, uh, my mom? Mija?
438
00:39:08,390 --> 00:39:09,516
[Aunt in Korean] Who is that?
439
00:39:14,897 --> 00:39:17,399
[Father]
She must be the caregiver at Hammond.
440
00:39:19,526 --> 00:39:21,069
[Aunt in English] No. Uh...
441
00:39:21,653 --> 00:39:22,487
Nurse.
442
00:39:23,572 --> 00:39:24,406
Nurse.
443
00:39:24,907 --> 00:39:28,452
[Father] I don't have a single photo
from back then.
444
00:39:29,870 --> 00:39:33,248
Uh, your photos, all lost.
445
00:39:33,749 --> 00:39:34,583

of the two of you dancing.

My Lord, thank you
for having sent Yeon-hee to France
456
00:40:49,491 --> 00:40:51,785
so that she had the chance
to get a better education.
457
00:40:52,995 --> 00:40:55,455
Thank you for having forgiven us all...
458
00:40:56,874 --> 00:41:01,003
and for having guided her to this house.
459
00:41:02,045 --> 00:41:04,756
I have always thought about Yeon-hee.
460
00:41:04,756 --> 00:41:08,802
Now I understand
that it was the Lord's way.

[in English] Can you ask him
to stop sending me messages?
475
00:42:10,447 --> 00:42:13,200
He sends me every day messages in Korean.
476
00:42:14,243 --> 00:42:17,663
He even calls me at night,
and I think he was really drunk
477
00:42:17,663 --> 00:42:19,414
and I didn't understand anything.
478
00:42:20,999 --> 00:42:22,709
Tell him that he has to stop.
479
00:42:24,628 --> 00:42:27,673
[in Korean] She's talking about
the messages you sent her.
480
00:42:27,673 --> 00:42:29,550
Did you call her when you'd been drinking?
481
00:42:33,303 --> 00:42:37,349
I'd like you to come
and live here with us.
482
00:42:38,976 --> 00:42:40,602
This is your home.
483
00:42:41,770 --> 00:42:44,731
I will help you to marry.
484
00:42:46,358 --> 00:42:47,442

[Aunt] Mm.

00:43:07,546 --> 00:43:09,798
I have my family
and my friends over there.
491
00:43:11,258 --> 00:43:13,093
I'm not going to live in Korea.
492
00:43:17,014 --> 00:43:18,849
Okay. Okay.
493
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:24,188
[in Korean] She says she doesn't want
to live in Korea and that she's French.
494
00:43:24,813 --> 00:43:28,108
Tell her I understand.
495
00:43:28,901 --> 00:43:30,319
[in English] Your father understand.
496
00:43:31,486 --> 00:43:36,533
But everything will be easier for her
when she learns to speak Korean.
497
00:43:37,117 --> 00:43:39,745
If you learn Korean, it will be easier.
498
00:43:40,662 --> 00:43:44,583
[Aunt] If you learn Korean, easy for you.
499
00:44:23,539 --> 00:44:26,667
EVERY TIME MY HUSBAND DRINKS,
HE CRIES AND SPEAKS OF YOU.

00:44:26,667 --> 00:44:29,878
THE NEXT DAY, HE FORGETS EVERYTHING.

Sorry, my baby.

My God, make sure that she is happy.

Thank you for bringing her back.

Thank you, Lord.

Our Father...
515
00:45:55,964 --> 00:45:59,176
Tell her that I can drive her.
516
00:45:59,718 --> 00:46:00,552
Stop it.

Hello, darling.
522
00:47:06,285 --> 00:47:08,287
I'm so happy to hear your voice.

- How are you?
-Can you see me?
524
00:47:12,207 --> 00:47:13,500
Yes, I see you fine.
525

How's it going?
526
00:47:17,337 --> 00:47:18,797
Are you still in Seoul?

Yes, in Seoul.

Uh, it's different.
530

Everything's different here.
531
00:47:29,391 --> 00:47:30,642
Are things okay with Dad?
532
00:47:31,393 --> 00:47:35,147
Yes. He's going to be sad.
He's just gone out.
533
00:47:35,689 --> 00:47:38,317
You should have warned us
you were going to call.
534
00:47:38,317 --> 00:47:41,486

to understand what you did.

were cancelled due to the typhoon.

I told them I had to go
because I had two weeks of holiday.

The next flight they offered
with the same company was to Seoul,

01:02:39,593 --> 01:02:40,677
Classic.
714
01:02:42,804 --> 01:02:46,308
If you must know,
I wanted to fuck everything up today.
715
01:02:46,808 --> 01:02:48,769
- I know that feeling.
- You do?
716
01:02:50,312 --> 01:02:52,981
- So how do you go about it?
- I fuck everything up.
717
01:03:05,786 --> 01:03:06,620
Hear that?
718
01:03:07,412 --> 01:03:08,247
What?
719
01:03:10,624 --> 01:03:11,542
The music.
720
01:03:13,377 --> 01:03:14,586
What music?
721
01:03:16,964 --> 01:03:18,173
It's coming from inside.
722
01:03:23,178 --> 01:03:24,555
I love this song.
723
01:03:31,019 --> 01:03:32,020
I hear it.
724
01:03:34,147 --> 01:03:34,982
[Freddie] Ah.
725
01:03:41,905 --> 01:03:43,031
[André in English] Thank you.
726
01:03:46,243 --> 01:03:47,661
I'm 27 today.
727
01:03:49,079 --> 01:03:51,248
[in French] I hate birthdays.
728
01:03:51,832 --> 01:03:54,710
I always ask myself
the same question on my birthday.
729
01:03:56,420 --> 01:03:57,421
What question?
730
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,049
Did my mother...
731
01:04:02,176 --> 01:04:03,510
think about me?
732
01:04:04,511 --> 01:04:05,596
Somewhere?
733
01:04:09,850 --> 01:04:10,851
Cheers.
734
01:04:21,111 --> 01:04:22,905
- Well?
- Excellent.
735
01:04:25,073 --> 01:04:27,492
Tell me about the weapons.
736
01:04:27,492 --> 01:04:29,411
Weapons! Are you really interested?
737
01:04:29,411 --> 01:04:32,831
- Yes.
- Weapons aren't the exciting part.
738
01:04:32,831 --> 01:04:34,958
It's the stakes you have to face.
739
01:04:35,501 --> 01:04:40,255
It usually ends in a hostess bar
at 4 in the morning.
740
01:04:40,964 --> 01:04:45,636
There are only men in this profession,
but you would be brilliant at it.
741
01:04:45,636 --> 01:04:47,679
Yeah? Why?
742
01:04:48,764 --> 01:04:50,807
Because you have to be able
to not look back.
743
01:04:56,522 --> 01:04:58,607
Is this a booty call or a job interview?
744
01:05:03,362 --> 01:05:04,446
Shall we go to your room?
745
01:05:05,364 --> 01:05:07,908
- No dinner first?
- I don't have time.
746
01:05:10,118 --> 01:05:10,953
Okay, then.
747
01:05:12,746 --> 01:05:14,164
But...
748
01:05:16,250 --> 01:05:17,543
I'm not 20 anymore.
749
01:05:21,088 --> 01:05:24,091
[pensive music playing]
750
01:06:15,475 --> 01:06:16,351
[in English] Hey.
751
01:06:18,770 --> 01:06:19,771
I need to pee.
752
01:06:23,775 --> 01:06:24,776
[music stops]
753
01:06:29,072 --> 01:06:30,866
[toilet flushes]
754
01:06:30,866 --> 01:06:32,951
[in Korean]
I thought you'd be back before midnight.
755
01:06:33,619 --> 01:06:35,495
[Freddie] Oh, sorry, I had a Tinder date.
756
01:06:40,334 --> 01:06:41,585
[in Korean] Had a good day?
757
01:06:42,794 --> 01:06:44,129
Yeah, fine.
758
01:06:45,506 --> 01:06:46,715
[in English] Did you finish it?
759
01:06:46,715 --> 01:06:49,468
- [in English] Yes. Want to see?
- Sure.
760
01:07:40,185 --> 01:07:43,021
It's beautiful, Kay-Kay. I love it.
761
01:07:44,189 --> 01:07:45,190
You're sure?
762
01:07:46,900 --> 01:07:48,068
Yeah, I'm sure.
763
01:07:55,784 --> 01:07:56,910
[in Korean] You look tired.
764
01:07:57,578 --> 01:08:00,497
No, it's okay,
I just need a ten-minute nap,
765
01:08:00,497 --> 01:08:02,165
and after, I'll be fine to go out.
766
01:08:04,084 --> 01:08:06,086
[muffled chatter]
767
01:08:31,319 --> 01:08:32,446
[in English] Surprise.
768
01:08:34,281 --> 01:08:35,115
[in Korean] Wait...
769
01:08:37,033 --> 01:08:38,327
Where are you going?
770
01:08:45,917 --> 01:08:47,461
You know I hate my birthday.
771
01:08:48,086 --> 01:08:49,087
[in English] I know.
772
01:08:51,298 --> 01:08:53,966
But they came for you.
773
01:08:58,846 --> 01:08:59,680
[in Korean] Please.
774
01:09:07,147 --> 01:09:10,149
["Dirch Die Haare Die Stirn"
playing over speakers]
775
01:09:10,149 --> 01:09:12,236
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
776
01:10:50,918 --> 01:10:52,878
[in French] Happy birthday!
777
01:10:52,878 --> 01:10:55,547
- [in French] You really fooled me earlier.
- Sorry.
778
01:10:56,048 --> 01:10:56,924
[Freddie] Thanks.
779
01:11:01,762 --> 01:11:03,972
[in English]
She's my little sister, Lucie.
780
01:11:03,972 --> 01:11:06,642
[Lucie] No, I'm not her little sister.
781
01:11:09,186 --> 01:11:10,062
[in French] Come here.
782
01:11:22,824 --> 01:11:25,744
- [in French] You okay?
- I think I'm a little strung out.
783
01:11:41,176 --> 01:11:42,386
Aren't you going to open it?
784
01:11:43,470 --> 01:11:45,514
I'll open it tomorrow.
785
01:11:46,223 --> 01:11:48,642
[Lucie] There's a lot of people.
Am I the only one from work?
786
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,354
Ask Kay-Kay, but I hope so.
787
01:11:56,316 --> 01:11:57,401
What are you looking for?
788
01:11:58,861 --> 01:12:01,530
My bottle of...
789
01:12:02,573 --> 01:12:03,615
absinthe.
790
01:12:03,615 --> 01:12:05,033
I can't find it.
791
01:12:05,033 --> 01:12:06,118
[Lucie] Want me to help?
792
01:12:16,086 --> 01:12:16,920
Freddie?
793
01:12:17,796 --> 01:12:20,007
I've got an appointment with Hammond.
794
01:12:26,471 --> 01:12:28,390
How long have you been here?
795
01:12:29,683 --> 01:12:30,893
Three months.
796
01:12:33,020 --> 01:12:34,730
I told you to go there right away.
797
01:12:36,190 --> 01:12:40,444
But I was told not to rush
into the first meeting
798
01:12:40,444 --> 01:12:41,987
with the biological parents.
799
01:12:41,987 --> 01:12:43,405
If there is a meeting.
800
01:12:50,078 --> 01:12:54,291
I was told to learn the culture,
speak the language,
801
01:12:54,291 --> 01:12:57,336
talk to other adoptees.
802
01:13:04,259 --> 01:13:05,427
Come and see.
803
01:13:11,683 --> 01:13:14,686
[tense music playing]
804
01:13:29,076 --> 01:13:30,953
[Freddie in Korean]
What are you looking for?
805
01:13:30,953 --> 01:13:31,870
The toilets.
806
01:13:32,996 --> 01:13:33,830
Downstairs.
807
01:13:41,380 --> 01:13:43,382
[singing in Korean]
808
01:15:25,442 --> 01:15:28,445
[tense music continues]
809
01:15:38,372 --> 01:15:39,456
[Lucie] What's wrong?
810
01:15:42,793 --> 01:15:44,169
[in French] My mother responded.
811
01:15:50,425 --> 01:15:51,593
Your biological mother?
812
01:15:55,472 --> 01:15:57,266
After six telegrams in two years.
813
01:16:01,436 --> 01:16:02,271
Today?
814
01:16:04,314 --> 01:16:05,524
No, ten days ago.
815
01:16:07,526 --> 01:16:09,319
A letter addressed to Hammond.
816
01:16:15,868 --> 01:16:17,452
She said she didn't want to see me.
817
01:16:22,833 --> 01:16:24,501
It was a short message.
818
01:16:30,340 --> 01:16:31,466
Twenty-two words.
819
01:16:54,239 --> 01:16:55,073
[Freddie whoops]
820
01:16:56,575 --> 01:16:59,328
[intense dance music playing]
821
01:16:59,328 --> 01:17:00,913
[people whooping and yelling]
822
01:19:02,201 --> 01:19:04,286
[in Korean] Thanks for the radish kimchi!
823
01:19:05,662 --> 01:19:06,663
I ate it all!
824
01:19:07,789 --> 01:19:08,624
What?
825
01:19:11,585 --> 01:19:13,670
Thank you for the radish kimchi!
826
01:19:18,133 --> 01:19:19,551
You did the right thing!
827
01:20:16,984 --> 01:20:20,529
YEON-HEE, WHERE ARE YOU?
828
01:20:20,529 --> 01:20:24,449
YEON-HEE, WHERE ARE YOU?
IN KOREA? I WANT TO SEE YOU.
829
01:20:24,449 --> 01:20:28,370
I DON'T DRINK LIKE I USED TO.
IF YOU'RE HERE, I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU.
830
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,549
YEON-HEE, I SAW THEY TALKED
ABOUT FRANCE ON THE NEWS.
831
01:20:40,549 --> 01:20:46,471
ARE YOU IN PARIS? KOREA?
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.
832
01:20:55,355 --> 01:21:01,028
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
833
01:22:18,981 --> 01:22:20,983
[line dialling]
834
01:22:29,741 --> 01:22:32,369
- [André] Well, well, Freddie.
- André.
835
01:22:32,995 --> 01:22:34,121
Already missing me?
836
01:22:56,935 --> 01:23:01,899
FIVE YEARS LATER
837
01:23:26,507 --> 01:23:27,549
[Freddie in French] Maxime.
838
01:23:32,012 --> 01:23:32,846
What should I wear?
839
01:23:34,723 --> 01:23:36,600
Do you think the dress is too formal?
840
01:23:37,768 --> 01:23:39,645
[in French] You're overthinking it.
841
01:23:39,645 --> 01:23:40,729
Go with your gut.
842
01:23:41,688 --> 01:23:43,690
No, seriously. Which do you prefer?
843
01:23:45,150 --> 01:23:46,568
Shit.
844
01:23:48,070 --> 01:23:48,904
What?
845
01:23:52,533 --> 01:23:54,201
We forgot your ballet shoes.
846
01:23:56,328 --> 01:23:57,663
Idiot!
847
01:24:01,166 --> 01:24:02,668
No, really,
848
01:24:02,668 --> 01:24:06,713
you haven't seen him for seven years,
wear something comfortable.
849
01:24:07,214 --> 01:24:08,048
That's all.
850
01:24:10,467 --> 01:24:11,301
Come and see.
851
01:24:35,742 --> 01:24:36,869
Thanks for being here.
852
01:24:38,704 --> 01:24:41,707
[pensive music playing]
853
01:25:08,025 --> 01:25:09,985
Could you text my parents
to say we've arrived?
854
01:25:10,527 --> 01:25:13,155
- Shouldn't you do that?
- No, they love you.
855
01:25:13,155 --> 01:25:14,323
I have to call André.
856
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:16,158
[in English] Okay.
857
01:25:22,581 --> 01:25:24,583
[video chat dialling]
858
01:25:26,168 --> 01:25:28,921
- [André] Well? How are you feeling?
- Okay, so far.
859
01:25:29,463 --> 01:25:31,590
It's funny
to do something here again, huh?
860
01:25:33,425 --> 01:25:35,469
You're even more elegant than in Paris.
861
01:25:36,345 --> 01:25:38,472
- Do we go together tomorrow?
-No.
862
01:25:38,472 --> 01:25:40,807
I'll go ahead to sort the file
with the Koreans.
863
01:25:41,975 --> 01:25:43,560
- Okay.
- No, wait.
864
01:25:44,311 --> 01:25:47,064
I assure you,
they know you haven't made a decision.
865
01:25:47,814 --> 01:25:49,775
No one wants to force you.
866
01:25:49,775 --> 01:25:53,695
I told them our deal.
Tomorrow is just a first meeting.
867
01:25:54,196 --> 01:25:55,030
No pressure.
868
01:25:55,656 --> 01:25:57,866
Yeah, I know your "no pressure."
869
01:25:57,866 --> 01:26:00,786
But they really like your profile.
870
01:26:01,620 --> 01:26:04,081
Know what
the missile-division boss calls you?
871
01:26:04,081 --> 01:26:05,707
[in English] The James Bond Girl.
872
01:26:06,375 --> 01:26:09,336
- Okay, André. Bye.
- [in French] Bye.
873
01:26:21,473 --> 01:26:22,891
This place is toxic for me.
874
01:26:24,810 --> 01:26:25,811
I'll need you.
875
01:26:26,812 --> 01:26:28,856
Don't worry. I'm here.
876
01:26:29,565 --> 01:26:31,066
I'm serious, Maxime.
877
01:26:44,329 --> 01:26:45,163
Delicious.
878
01:26:48,834 --> 01:26:51,044
This happened in France?
879
01:26:51,545 --> 01:26:53,088
[in Korean] No, in Thailand.
880
01:26:53,922 --> 01:26:56,466
[in English] We've got the accident there,
881
01:26:56,466 --> 01:26:59,761
so I decided to have
the operation in Bangkok.
882
01:27:01,805 --> 01:27:03,557
The accident was in Thailand.
883
01:27:03,557 --> 01:27:06,059
[Freddie]
But tell him it's nothing serious.
884
01:27:06,768 --> 01:27:08,437
And your friend okay?
885
01:27:09,605 --> 01:27:12,733
[in English] Oh, yeah. Only scratches.
886
01:27:12,733 --> 01:27:13,734
Uh...
887
01:27:13,734 --> 01:27:16,820
It's Freddie who was driving
the scooter, of course.
888
01:27:18,071 --> 01:27:18,906
Look.
889
01:27:37,716 --> 01:27:38,550
[in Korean] Touch.
890
01:27:44,723 --> 01:27:45,557
Touch it.
891
01:28:17,130 --> 01:28:19,383
Why didn't you tell us?
892
01:28:24,179 --> 01:28:26,640
Eat. Eat.
893
01:28:35,274 --> 01:28:36,275
Um...
894
01:28:37,150 --> 01:28:39,278
[in English] I'm sorry for restaurant.
895
01:28:39,278 --> 01:28:42,114
I don't know you stop meat now.
896
01:28:42,114 --> 01:28:44,616
Oh, it's okay, it's fine. Don't worry.
897
01:28:49,037 --> 01:28:50,914
It's so good. Really.
898
01:28:51,707 --> 01:28:54,334
It's, um-- [in Korean] It's delicious.
899
01:28:54,334 --> 01:28:55,502
[in Korean] It's delicious!
900
01:28:59,423 --> 01:29:00,257
[in English] Yes.
901
01:29:05,846 --> 01:29:06,847
Thank you.
902
01:29:18,984 --> 01:29:19,818
Thank you.
903
01:29:20,986 --> 01:29:22,988
[in Korean] I don't drink alcohol.
904
01:29:24,489 --> 01:29:26,325
- Really?
- [Freddie] No.
905
01:29:27,743 --> 01:29:29,494
No meat, no alcohol?
906
01:29:29,494 --> 01:29:30,412
No.
907
01:29:31,288 --> 01:29:33,582
[in English]
It's not for ecological reasons,
908
01:29:33,582 --> 01:29:36,960
but, um, I never felt so good in my life.
909
01:29:39,004 --> 01:29:39,838
Yes or no?
910
01:29:41,089 --> 01:29:43,008
[in Korean] Alcohol, stop.
911
01:29:43,842 --> 01:29:45,135
Alcohol, stop?
912
01:29:45,135 --> 01:29:46,220
Alcohol, stop!
913
01:29:46,887 --> 01:29:48,013
[in English] Okay.
914
01:29:48,639 --> 01:29:50,098
[in Korean] Alcohol, stop?
915
01:29:51,225 --> 01:29:52,059
[in English] Okay.
916
01:29:52,976 --> 01:29:54,228
[in Korean] Tomorrow, no more.
917
01:29:54,228 --> 01:29:55,938
[in French] He'll stop tomorrow.
918
01:29:55,938 --> 01:29:58,398

He's changed since the last time.

Uh, he ask, what is your job?
931
01:30:56,290 --> 01:30:59,251
[in Korean] Mm... I sell missiles.
932
01:30:59,251 --> 01:31:00,752
"Missiles"?
933
01:31:00,752 --> 01:31:03,255
[in English] She sells missiles.
934
01:31:04,131 --> 01:31:06,008
- Oh, missiles.
- [Maxime] Missiles.
935
01:31:08,093 --> 01:31:10,971
[in English] I work for a French group,
936
01:31:10,971 --> 01:31:13,390
which collaborates
with many other countries
937
01:31:13,390 --> 01:31:16,185
like Taiwan or Colombia.
938
01:31:16,185 --> 01:31:20,898
And we help them to improve
their national defence system.
939
01:31:20,898 --> 01:31:23,775
She sells weapons to make war?
940
01:31:24,443 --> 01:31:25,986
For the war?
941
01:31:27,070 --> 01:31:29,114
No, for peace. In theory.
942
01:31:29,698 --> 01:31:33,327
And you come to Korea to sell missiles?
943
01:31:33,327 --> 01:31:34,703
Actually...
944
01:31:36,538 --> 01:31:39,708
Freddie thinks maybe it's,
uh, her destiny.
945

[Aunt] Destiny?
946
01:31:40,876 --> 01:31:45,714
Yeah, she left for France
when she was a baby.
947
01:31:45,714 --> 01:31:49,551
And now that she's an adult,
she's coming back
948
01:31:50,052 --> 01:31:55,474
to defend South Korea against North Korea.
949
01:31:57,476 --> 01:31:58,477
[Aunt] Hm...
950
01:31:59,353 --> 01:32:00,646
[in Korean] From what he says,
951
01:32:01,480 --> 01:32:07,027
it's Yeon-hee's destiny
to help South Korea against North Korea.
952
01:32:08,987 --> 01:32:10,364
Really?
953

[in French] My father wants to play
some music he wrote for me.
954
01:32:21,041 --> 01:32:24,878
He recently started to play the piano.
He composes during his free time.
955
01:32:25,796 --> 01:32:27,840
What a coincidence.
956
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,551
Yeah, weird.

we can exchange normal text messages now.

Does he still drink a lot?
964
01:34:29,044 --> 01:34:32,381
No, uh, he drinks less.
965
01:34:46,019 --> 01:34:47,271
Where did he go?
966

To the guesthouse?

It's striking
how much you resemble your father.

Take us to the Itaewon area.
981
01:36:28,914 --> 01:36:30,666

So you're partying tonight?
982
01:36:31,041 --> 01:36:31,875
[Freddie] Yes.
983
01:36:35,254 --> 01:36:36,713
We're not going to the guesthouse?
984
01:36:38,590 --> 01:36:40,551
[in French] No, I changed my mind.
985
01:36:58,527 --> 01:37:01,029
I could wipe you from my life
with a snap of my fingers.
986

What?
987
01:37:07,786 --> 01:37:09,329

Hello? This is Frédérique Benoît.
993
01:39:22,129 --> 01:39:23,547
You just sent me a message.
994
01:39:29,887 --> 01:39:31,013
Yes, still in Seoul.
995
01:39:36,727 --> 01:39:37,769
Yes, I can come.
996
01:39:39,688 --> 01:39:40,939

Is this where I was abandoned?
999
01:40:25,817 --> 01:40:30,072
No, the old Jeonju Hammond
was in another neighbourhood.
1000
01:40:30,572 --> 01:40:35,494
The building was destroyed
and Hammond moved here in the 2000s.
1001
01:40:36,912 --> 01:40:38,080
You're very young.
1002
01:40:43,168 --> 01:40:45,963
This is your original adoption file.
1003
01:40:46,630 --> 01:40:49,007
You received a copy in Seoul.
1004
01:41:15,534 --> 01:41:17,077
Are we sure she will come?
1005
01:41:17,786 --> 01:41:19,705
We can never be certain,
1006
01:41:19,705 --> 01:41:24,376
but the tone of your mother on the phone
suggests she will come.
1007
01:41:26,795 --> 01:41:28,505
You came early.
1008
01:41:29,256 --> 01:41:30,257
Yes, that's true.
1009

[in Korean] Thank you.
1013

[in French]
I'll now explain what will follow.
1014
01:42:14,343 --> 01:42:20,349
When your mother arrives,
she will be settled in the room next door.
1015
01:42:20,349 --> 01:42:24,478
It's more or less the same layout
and size as this one.
1016
01:42:25,521 --> 01:42:29,233
Then someone will tell us
that she has arrived.
1017
01:42:30,943 --> 01:42:34,863
I will go to speak
to your mother separately
1018
01:42:34,863 --> 01:42:36,949
to prepare her for the meeting.
1019
01:42:37,616 --> 01:42:39,868

1020
01:42:41,495 --> 01:42:46,166
When your mother is ready,
I will bring her here.
1021
01:42:46,166 --> 01:42:50,587
Do you accept
that I be present during the meeting?
1022

Tell me.
1029
01:43:37,426 --> 01:43:42,097
I thought that once parents had
refused to see their child...
1030
01:43:44,349 --> 01:43:47,686
Hammond could send no more telegrams.
1031
01:43:48,187 --> 01:43:49,855
Yes, that's the law.
1032
01:43:52,024 --> 01:43:53,066
But then...
1033
01:43:54,610 --> 01:43:59,031
why did you accept my request
for my mother?
1034
01:44:02,701 --> 01:44:05,078
Perhaps we have employees
1035

of an adopted child.
