["Petals" continues over headphones]

5
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:13,282
[in Korean] Welcome.

6
00:01:14,617 --> 00:01:17,953
[in English]
Sorry, I didn't see you. May I help you?

7
00:01:22,124 --> 00:01:23,751
Did you make a reservation?

8
00:01:24,919 --> 00:01:25,961
What are you listening?

9
00:01:27,296 --> 00:01:29,840
Uh, it's Korean music.

10
00:01:31,008 --> 00:01:31,842
Can I?

11
00:01:33,886 --> 00:01:35,137
Yeah, of course.

["Petals" continues over headphones]

00:02:01,372 --> 00:02:02,790
How long do you want to stay?

14
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:12,091
Mm... I don't know yet.
But, uh, three nights? It's okay?

15
00:02:12,842 --> 00:02:14,927
It's as you wish, of course.

16
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:16,512
I need your passport, please.

17
00:02:19,098 --> 00:02:19,974
Thanks.

18
00:02:24,562 --> 00:02:25,896

00:02:38,284 --> 00:02:40,703
- [in Korean] Cheers!
- [in Korean] Cheers!

22
00:02:48,586 --> 00:02:49,420
[Dongwan] Ah!

23
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:50,880
[in French] Is it good?

24
00:02:52,506 --> 00:02:53,424
[Tena clears throat]

25
00:02:55,092 --> 00:02:58,637
[in French] So, Freddie,
do you really know nothing about Korea?

26
00:02:58,721 --> 00:02:59,597
[in French] Nothing.

27
00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:04,185
- What are you going to do?
- Uh, I don't have any plans.

28
00:03:05,144 --> 00:03:09,148
Nonetheless, Freddie, what would
you like to see during your stay?

29
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:11,984
Everything. Is that possible?

30
00:03:12,067 --> 00:03:15,154
- Not in two weeks.
- No?

31
00:03:15,237 --> 00:03:16,864
Totally impossible.

32
00:03:17,907 --> 00:03:20,618
- It's funny hearing you speak French.
- [laughs]

33
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:23,871
- [Tena] Oh.
- Ah! No, you mustn't.

34
00:03:24,622 --> 00:03:27,833
- Really?
- Let others refill your glass.

35
00:03:28,709 --> 00:03:29,543
Why?

36
00:03:30,127 --> 00:03:31,921
It's insulting otherwise.

37
00:03:32,588 --> 00:03:36,008
It would mean
your friends aren't treating you right.

38
00:03:36,091 --> 00:03:37,927
Insulting? For whom?

39
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:41,138
Mm... for both.

40
00:03:58,322 --> 00:03:59,198
Is this your mother?

41
00:04:00,241 --> 00:04:01,867
My biological mother, yes, I think so.

42
00:04:05,955 --> 00:04:07,373
It's all I have of Korea.

43
00:04:09,583 --> 00:04:13,837
A few years ago,
there was a TV program... What was it?

44
00:04:13,921 --> 00:04:14,922
<i>The Morning Court?</i>

45
00:04:16,006 --> 00:04:17,925
Not that, the other, older one.

46
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:21,136
<i>- I Want to See This Person?</i>
- Yes, that.

47
00:04:21,637 --> 00:04:25,683
Uh, it was a popular program
where adoptees met up

48
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:28,560
- with their parents.
- Actually, it's...

49
00:04:28,644 --> 00:04:30,688
[sighs] What is it called in French?

50
00:04:32,273 --> 00:04:33,274
A play on words.

51
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:35,526
In Korean, it means both

52
00:04:35,609 --> 00:04:38,862
"I want to see this person"
and "I miss this person."

53
00:04:39,697 --> 00:04:43,200
Your story brings to mind
an old Mongolian poem...

54
00:04:44,285 --> 00:04:47,413
entitled <i>Land of my Birth.</i>

55
00:04:47,496 --> 00:04:48,497
Oh, yeah?

56
00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:52,793
[Tena] Dongwan did comparative studies
of French and Asian literature.

57
00:04:52,876 --> 00:04:53,836
[Dongwan] Mm...

58
00:04:55,087 --> 00:04:58,382
I can't say it correctly in French,

59
00:04:58,465 --> 00:05:00,092
but it goes something like this:

60
00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:05,472
<i>Land where, in summer</i>

61
00:05:06,932 --> 00:05:08,767
<i>The earth is like</i>

62
00:05:09,518 --> 00:05:11,145
<i>A carpet of flowers</i>

63
00:05:13,147 --> 00:05:16,900
<i>The song of the birds, of the land</i>

64
00:05:17,568 --> 00:05:18,986
<i>As far as the south</i>

65
00:05:21,405 --> 00:05:24,366
<i>This, all of this</i>

66
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:27,703
<i>Is the land of my birth</i>

67
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,957
Wow! [chuckles]

68
00:05:32,041 --> 00:05:33,584
- [in Korean] Cheers!
- [in Korean] Cheers!

69
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:42,676
Oh.

70
00:05:45,346 --> 00:05:47,431
[in French] Tell me, Freddie, mm...

71
00:05:47,514 --> 00:05:48,974
do you know Hammond?

72
00:05:49,725 --> 00:05:50,893
Who is Ammonde?

73
00:05:51,518 --> 00:05:53,729
[Dongwan] No, Hammond.

74
00:05:53,812 --> 00:05:55,314
It's the adoption center.

75
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:57,691
It's a very famous place in Korea.

76
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:00,486
Okay, and...?

77
00:06:03,238 --> 00:06:05,407
Well, you could go there.

78
00:06:07,743 --> 00:06:10,412
[in French] Are you going to
try and find your parents?

79
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:12,706
No.

80
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:15,667
Uh... why not?

81
00:06:17,294 --> 00:06:20,297
[lively pensive music playing]

82
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:23,842
Do you know what sight-reading is?

83
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:31,517
It's when you play a score
for the first time.

84
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:35,312
You have to be able
to analyze the music in one glance,

85
00:06:35,396 --> 00:06:37,940
evaluate the danger and jump in.

86
00:06:39,775 --> 00:06:41,276
Are you a musician?

87
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,028
I was, but that's not the point.

88
00:06:44,029 --> 00:06:46,907
There are signs all over
that you don't see.

89
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:48,367
But you can learn to read them

90
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:50,077
and catch them when they appear.

91
00:06:51,245 --> 00:06:54,123
- What signs?
- Fear, for example.

92
00:06:58,502 --> 00:06:59,586
Want to see?

93
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:02,673

[Freddie in English]
They are my friends, Tena and Dongwan.

105
00:07:50,137 --> 00:07:51,388
[in French] Is that right?

106
00:07:51,472 --> 00:07:53,515
[in English] Dongwan. They're Koreans!

107
00:07:54,099 --> 00:07:55,851
[man in Korean] So they speak Korean!

You want to join us?

111
00:08:04,526 --> 00:08:07,196
- [man 1 in Korean] Is she your friend?
- [in Korean] Uh, yes.

112
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:10,115
[man 1] And... has she had a lot to drink?

113
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:11,033
She's had a few.

114
00:08:11,533 --> 00:08:12,910
[man 2] What is she doing?

115
00:08:12,993 --> 00:08:14,953
[man 3] She's bringing them over.

00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:21,668
Can you put chairs? Put the chairs too.

119
00:08:24,046 --> 00:08:26,715
And you, you can sit here. Yeah.

120
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:30,344
- [in French] Come.
- [French] Are you sure?

121
00:08:30,427 --> 00:08:32,054
Yes, I'm sure.

- Do you know her well?
- No, not at all.

Not bad, huh?

00:08:57,955 --> 00:08:59,373
- No?
- No.

129
00:09:01,291 --> 00:09:04,628
[in English] One bottle of soju, please.
No, no, no, two, two, two!

130
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:07,381
[man in Korean] Two bottles of soju
and a plate of chicken feet!

131
00:09:07,464 --> 00:09:09,675
Your friend is very original.

132
00:09:10,175 --> 00:09:11,635

France.

136

00:09:25,232 --> 00:09:28,610
- France!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

140
00:09:28,694 --> 00:09:30,279

143
00:09:35,993 --> 00:09:39,371
[in French]
It's a famous chain of Korean bakeries.

144
00:09:39,454 --> 00:09:41,039
She doesn't look French...

145
00:09:41,123 --> 00:09:43,333

[all laughing]

150
00:09:59,474 --> 00:10:02,853
She has a typically Korean face,
doesn't she?

151
00:10:04,438 --> 00:10:07,733
[Tena in French] She says
your face is like a long-time Korean.

152
00:10:08,567 --> 00:10:12,321
- [in French] Long-time?
- [Dongwan] From ancient, ancestral Korea.

153
00:10:13,822 --> 00:10:16,908
She's right. You have pure Korean traits.

154
00:10:17,534 --> 00:10:18,368
I do?

155
00:10:19,036 --> 00:10:20,621
[in Korean] Thank you.

156
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:24,625

00:29:27,558 --> 00:29:30,227
[in French]
He's asking if you speak Korean.

358
00:30:08,974 --> 00:30:13,479
[Father] Did she lack anything
when she was growing up?

359
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:20,319
[Tena] He wants to know
if you lacked anything in France.

360
00:30:21,529 --> 00:30:25,407
[in French] Tell him no.
My parents took good care of me.

361
00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:33,082
[Tena in Korean] She says
her adoptive parents were good to her.

362
00:30:39,338 --> 00:30:42,341
["Petals" playing]

363
00:32:29,949 --> 00:32:31,951
[indistinct chatter]

364
00:32:36,872 --> 00:32:37,873
Take a look.

365
00:32:38,916 --> 00:32:39,750
[in Korean] No.

366
00:32:39,833 --> 00:32:40,793
[in English] No need.

367
00:32:40,876 --> 00:32:43,003
See if there's anything you need.

368
00:32:44,922 --> 00:32:45,923
They're pretty.

369
00:32:49,510 --> 00:32:50,344
How much?

370
00:32:50,886 --> 00:32:52,388
[in French] I hate ballet shoes.

371
00:32:53,889 --> 00:32:56,892
[ripples susurrating]

372
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:12,366
[Father]
That island is called Mouse Poop Island.

373
00:33:12,908 --> 00:33:15,703
We call it that because it's so small.

374
00:33:16,537 --> 00:33:18,789
When the tide is low,

375
00:33:18,872 --> 00:33:22,960
you can walk to the island,
you don't need a boat.

376
00:33:24,294 --> 00:33:26,380
When I was a kid, me and my friends

377
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:31,093
would spend afternoons fishing there.

378
00:33:31,844 --> 00:33:36,473
The adults had to come and get us by boat.

379
00:33:37,307 --> 00:33:40,477
They would bawl us out every time.

380
00:33:42,479 --> 00:33:44,231
But actually, fishing...

381
00:33:44,898 --> 00:33:49,903
is their whole life
for the people who live here.

382
00:33:51,196 --> 00:33:55,617
My grandfather was a fisherman,
my father was a fisherman,

383
00:33:56,452 --> 00:33:58,662
and I was, too, for a long time.

384
00:34:00,497 --> 00:34:03,000
Until they built the seawall.

385
00:34:03,792 --> 00:34:08,172
The biggest seawall in the world,
they said on TV.

386
00:34:09,006 --> 00:34:10,549
Today,

387
00:34:11,050 --> 00:34:14,928
your father repairs
air-conditioning units.

388
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:23,687
Yeon-hee's mother's name is Son Mija.

389
00:34:25,606 --> 00:34:28,108
[in French]
Your mother's name is Son Mija.

390
00:34:34,823 --> 00:34:38,869
We tried to live
with my mother in Gunsan...

391
00:34:40,621 --> 00:34:43,707
but Mija preferred to go
and live in the city,

392
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:47,002
so she left.

393
00:34:50,839 --> 00:34:54,468
Your mother wanted
to live in the city, so she left.

394
00:34:56,512 --> 00:34:57,471
[in French] Is that all?

395
00:34:58,305 --> 00:34:59,348
Wait.

396
00:34:59,431 --> 00:35:00,641
To this day...

397
00:35:01,892 --> 00:35:04,394
I never forgot Yeon-hee.

398
00:35:06,063 --> 00:35:07,564
I wondered...

399
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,150
if she was alive, where she lived.

400
00:35:12,027 --> 00:35:14,822
He never stopped thinking about you.

401
00:35:16,490 --> 00:35:20,410
He wanted to know if you were alive

402
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:22,704
and which country you were living in.

403
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:29,628
[cell phone beeping]

404
00:35:37,469 --> 00:35:39,930
My father has arrived, we're very late.

405
00:35:53,944 --> 00:35:56,864
Is there anything
you want to do this evening?

406
00:35:59,032 --> 00:35:59,867
No, nothing.

407
00:36:01,285 --> 00:36:02,870
Just fall into your bed.

408
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,256
[cell phone buzzes]

409
00:36:24,308 --> 00:36:25,517
[Tena] It's your father.

410
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:30,522
"Yeon-hee, I am so unhappy.

411
00:36:31,607 --> 00:36:36,278
I hope you now understand
why I had to let you go.

412
00:36:37,404 --> 00:36:40,949
I regret the harm I have caused you.

413
00:36:43,911 --> 00:36:47,831
I cry every day since..."

414
00:36:47,915 --> 00:36:48,749
Tena.

415
00:36:50,751 --> 00:36:51,793
Stop, please.

416
00:37:09,770 --> 00:37:10,604
[in Korean] Eat.

417
00:37:20,530 --> 00:37:22,866
- [in Korean] It's delicious.
- [in Korean] It's delicious!

418
00:37:24,576 --> 00:37:26,161
[Father] You are welcome here.

419
00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:30,832
I'm so happy
that we can spend three days together.

420
00:37:31,708 --> 00:37:34,503
[in English]
Your father say, "Welcome home.

421
00:37:35,837 --> 00:37:40,592
We very happy together three days."

422
00:37:41,677 --> 00:37:44,388
- Thank you.
- [in Korean] Thank you!

423
00:37:44,888 --> 00:37:46,723
My wife and children

424
00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:49,601
knew nothing of your existence.

425
00:37:51,728 --> 00:37:56,984
Hm, I did not want to cause them sorrow.

426
00:37:57,067 --> 00:38:00,362
Not so fast, big brother,
I will translate.

427
00:38:02,197 --> 00:38:06,076
[in English] Father no speaking about you

428
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:11,039
because family sad.

429
00:38:11,123 --> 00:38:12,791
Yeah. Mm.

430
00:38:14,084 --> 00:38:17,337
But when I received
the letter from Hammond,

431
00:38:17,421 --> 00:38:19,464
I told them everything.

432
00:38:20,090 --> 00:38:25,053
But Hammond called after everything speak,

433
00:38:26,013 --> 00:38:29,266
all speak about you.

434
00:38:36,815 --> 00:38:40,068
Why didn't you take <i>hangwa</i> cakes?
See if there are any left.

435
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:46,700
Take that.

436
00:39:02,632 --> 00:39:07,179
[Freddie in English]
Um... is it, uh, my mom? Mija?

437
00:39:09,389 --> 00:39:10,515
[Aunt in Korean] Who is that?

438
00:39:15,896 --> 00:39:18,398
[Father]
She must be the caregiver at Hammond.

439
00:39:20,525 --> 00:39:22,069
[Aunt in English] No. Uh...

440
00:39:22,652 --> 00:39:23,487
Nurse.

441
00:39:24,571 --> 00:39:25,405
Nurse.

442
00:39:25,906 --> 00:39:29,451
[Father] I don't have a single photo
from back then.

443
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:34,247
Uh, your photos, all lost.

444
00:39:34,748 --> 00:39:35,582

My Lord, thank you
for having sent Yeon-hee to France

455
00:40:50,574 --> 00:40:52,784
so that she had the chance
to get a better education.

456
00:40:53,994 --> 00:40:56,455
Thank you for having forgiven us all...

457
00:40:57,873 --> 00:41:02,002
and for having guided her to this house.

458
00:41:03,044 --> 00:41:05,755
I have always thought about Yeon-hee.

459

Now I understand
that it was the Lord's way.

[in English] Can you ask him
to stop sending me messages?

474
00:42:11,446 --> 00:42:14,199
He sends me every day messages in Korean.

475
00:42:15,242 --> 00:42:18,662
He even calls me at night,
and I think he was really drunk

476
00:42:18,745 --> 00:42:20,413
and I didn't understand anything.

477
00:42:21,998 --> 00:42:23,708
Tell him that he has to stop.

[in Korean] She's talking about
the messages you sent her.

479
00:42:28,755 --> 00:42:30,549
Did you call her when you'd been drinking?

480
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:38,348
I'd like you to come
and live here with us.

481
00:42:39,975 --> 00:42:41,601
This is your home.

I'm not going to live in Korea.

491
00:43:18,013 --> 00:43:19,848
Okay. Okay.

492
00:43:20,599 --> 00:43:25,186
[in Korean] She says she doesn't want
to live in Korea and that she's French.

493
00:43:25,812 --> 00:43:29,107
Tell her I understand.

494
00:43:29,899 --> 00:43:31,318
[in English] Your father understand.

495
00:43:32,485 --> 00:43:37,532
But everything will be easier for her
when she learns to speak Korean.

496
00:43:38,116 --> 00:43:40,744
If you learn Korean, it will be easier.

497
00:43:41,661 --> 00:43:45,582
[Aunt] If you learn Korean, easy for you.

498

EVERY TIME MY HUSBAND DRINKS,
HE CRIES AND SPEAKS OF YOU.

Tell her that I can drive her.

515
00:46:00,717 --> 00:46:01,551
Stop it.

In a way, you are...

710
01:02:35,586 --> 01:02:36,837
a Trojan horse.

711
01:02:38,088 --> 01:02:39,923
My boss's exact words.

712
01:02:40,591 --> 01:02:41,675
Classic.

713
01:02:43,802 --> 01:02:47,306
If you must know,
I wanted to fuck everything up today.

714
01:02:47,806 --> 01:02:49,767
- I know that feeling.
- You do?

715
01:02:51,310 --> 01:02:53,979
- So how do you go about it?
- I fuck everything up.

716
01:03:06,784 --> 01:03:07,618
Hear that?

717
01:03:08,410 --> 01:03:09,244
What?

718
01:03:11,622 --> 01:03:12,539
The music.

719
01:03:14,374 --> 01:03:15,584
What music?

720
01:03:17,961 --> 01:03:19,171
It's coming from inside.

721
01:03:24,176 --> 01:03:25,552
I love this song.

722
01:03:32,017 --> 01:03:33,018
I hear it.

723
01:03:35,145 --> 01:03:35,979
[Freddie] Ah.

724
01:03:42,903 --> 01:03:44,029
[André in English] Thank you.

725
01:03:47,241 --> 01:03:48,659
I'm 27 today.

726
01:03:50,077 --> 01:03:52,246
[in French] I hate birthdays.

727
01:03:52,830 --> 01:03:55,707
I always ask myself
the same question on my birthday.

728
01:03:57,417 --> 01:03:58,418
What question?

729
01:04:00,838 --> 01:04:02,047
Did my mother...

730
01:04:03,173 --> 01:04:04,508
think about me?

731
01:04:05,509 --> 01:04:06,593
Somewhere?

732
01:04:10,848 --> 01:04:11,849
Cheers.

733
01:04:22,109 --> 01:04:23,902
- Well?
- Excellent.

734
01:04:26,071 --> 01:04:28,490
Tell me about the weapons.

735
01:04:28,574 --> 01:04:30,409
Weapons! Are you really interested?

736
01:04:30,492 --> 01:04:33,829
- Yes.
- Weapons aren't the exciting part.

737
01:04:33,912 --> 01:04:35,956
It's the stakes you have to face.

738
01:04:36,498 --> 01:04:41,253
It usually ends in a hostess bar
at 4 in the morning.

739
01:04:41,962 --> 01:04:46,633
There are only men in this profession,
but you would be brilliant at it.

740
01:04:46,717 --> 01:04:48,677
Yeah? Why?

741
01:04:49,761 --> 01:04:51,805
Because you have to be able
to not look back.

742
01:04:57,519 --> 01:04:59,605
Is this a booty call or a job interview?

743
01:05:04,359 --> 01:05:05,444
Shall we go to your room?

744
01:05:06,361 --> 01:05:08,906
- No dinner first?
- I don't have time.

745
01:05:11,116 --> 01:05:11,950
Okay, then.

746
01:05:13,744 --> 01:05:15,162
But...

747
01:05:17,247 --> 01:05:18,540
I'm not 20 anymore.

748
01:05:22,085 --> 01:05:25,088
[pensive music playing]

749
01:06:16,473 --> 01:06:17,349
[in English] Hey.

750
01:06:19,768 --> 01:06:20,769
I need to pee.

751
01:06:24,773 --> 01:06:25,774
[music stops]

752
01:06:30,070 --> 01:06:31,863
[toilet flushes]

753
01:06:31,947 --> 01:06:33,949
[in Korean]
I thought you'd be back before midnight.

754
01:06:34,616 --> 01:06:36,493
[Freddie] Oh, sorry, I had a Tinder date.

755
01:06:41,331 --> 01:06:42,582
[in Korean] Had a good day?

756
01:06:43,792 --> 01:06:45,127
Yeah, fine.

757
01:06:46,503 --> 01:06:47,713
[in English] Did you finish it?

758
01:06:47,796 --> 01:06:50,465
- [in English] Yes. Want to see?
- Sure.

759
01:07:41,183 --> 01:07:44,019
It's beautiful, Kay-Kay. I love it.

760
01:07:45,187 --> 01:07:46,188
You're sure?

761
01:07:47,898 --> 01:07:49,066
Yeah, I'm sure.

762
01:07:56,782 --> 01:07:57,908
[in Korean] You look tired.

763
01:07:58,575 --> 01:08:01,495
No, it's okay,
I just need a ten-minute nap,

764
01:08:01,578 --> 01:08:03,163
and after, I'll be fine to go out.

765
01:08:05,082 --> 01:08:07,084
[muffled chatter]

766
01:08:32,317 --> 01:08:33,443
[in English] Surprise.

767
01:08:35,278 --> 01:08:36,113
[in Korean] Wait...

768
01:08:38,031 --> 01:08:39,324
Where are you going?

769
01:08:46,915 --> 01:08:48,458
You know I hate my birthday.

770
01:08:49,084 --> 01:08:50,085
[in English] I know.

771
01:08:52,295 --> 01:08:54,965
But they came for you.

772
01:08:59,845 --> 01:09:00,679
[in Korean] Please.

773
01:09:08,145 --> 01:09:11,148
["Dirch Die Haare Die Stirn"
playing over speakers]

774
01:09:11,231 --> 01:09:13,233
[indistinct chatter and laughter]

775
01:10:51,915 --> 01:10:53,875
[in French] Happy birthday!

776
01:10:53,959 --> 01:10:56,544
- [in French] You really fooled me earlier.
- Sorry.

777
01:10:57,045 --> 01:10:57,921
[Freddie] Thanks.

778
01:11:02,759 --> 01:11:04,970
[in English]
She's my little sister, Lucie.

779
01:11:05,053 --> 01:11:07,639
[Lucie] No, I'm not her little sister.

780
01:11:10,183 --> 01:11:11,059
[in French] Come here.

781
01:11:23,822 --> 01:11:26,741
- [in French] You okay?
- I think I'm a little strung out.

782
01:11:42,173 --> 01:11:43,383
Aren't you going to open it?

783
01:11:44,467 --> 01:11:46,511
I'll open it tomorrow.

784
01:11:47,220 --> 01:11:49,639
[Lucie] There's a lot of people.
Am I the only one from work?

785
01:11:50,557 --> 01:11:53,351
Ask Kay-Kay, but I hope so.

786
01:11:57,314 --> 01:11:58,398
What are you looking for?

787
01:11:59,858 --> 01:12:02,527
My bottle of...

788
01:12:03,570 --> 01:12:04,612
absinthe.

789
01:12:04,696 --> 01:12:06,031
I can't find it.

790
01:12:06,114 --> 01:12:07,115
[Lucie] Want me to help?

791
01:12:17,083 --> 01:12:17,917
Freddie?

792
01:12:18,793 --> 01:12:21,004
I've got an appointment with Hammond.

793
01:12:27,469 --> 01:12:29,387
How long have you been here?

794
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:31,890
Three months.

795
01:12:34,017 --> 01:12:35,727
I told you to go there right away.

796
01:12:37,187 --> 01:12:41,441
But I was told not to rush
into the first meeting

797
01:12:41,524 --> 01:12:42,984
with the biological parents.

798
01:12:43,068 --> 01:12:44,402
If there is a meeting.

799
01:12:51,076 --> 01:12:55,288
I was told to learn the culture,
speak the language,

800
01:12:55,372 --> 01:12:58,333
talk to other adoptees.

801
01:13:05,256 --> 01:13:06,424
Come and see.

802
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,683
[tense music playing]

803
01:13:30,073 --> 01:13:31,950
[Freddie in Korean]
What are you looking for?

804
01:13:32,033 --> 01:13:32,867
The toilets.

805
01:13:33,993 --> 01:13:34,828
Downstairs.

806
01:13:42,377 --> 01:13:44,379
[singing in Korean]

807
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,442
[tense music continues]

808
01:15:39,369 --> 01:15:40,453
[Lucie] What's wrong?

809
01:15:43,790 --> 01:15:45,166
[in French] My mother responded.

810
01:15:51,422 --> 01:15:52,590
Your biological mother?

811
01:15:56,469 --> 01:15:58,263
After six telegrams in two years.

812
01:16:02,433 --> 01:16:03,268
Today?

813
01:16:05,311 --> 01:16:06,521
No, ten days ago.

814
01:16:08,523 --> 01:16:10,316
A letter addressed to Hammond.

815
01:16:16,864 --> 01:16:18,449
She said she didn't want to see me.

816
01:16:23,830 --> 01:16:25,498
It was a short message.

817
01:16:31,337 --> 01:16:32,463
Twenty-two words.

818
01:16:55,236 --> 01:16:56,070
[Freddie whoops]

819
01:16:57,572 --> 01:17:00,325
[intense dance music playing]

820
01:17:00,408 --> 01:17:01,909
[people whooping and yelling]

821
01:19:03,197 --> 01:19:05,283
[in Korean] Thanks for the radish kimchi!

822
01:19:06,659 --> 01:19:07,660
I ate it all!

823
01:19:08,786 --> 01:19:09,620
What?

824
01:19:12,582 --> 01:19:14,667
Thank you for the radish kimchi!

825
01:19:19,130 --> 01:19:20,548
You did the right thing!

826
01:20:17,980 --> 01:20:21,526
YEON-HEE, WHERE ARE YOU?

827
01:20:21,609 --> 01:20:25,446
YEON-HEE, WHERE ARE YOU?
IN KOREA? I WANT TO SEE YOU.

828
01:20:25,530 --> 01:20:29,367
I DON'T DRINK LIKE I USED TO.
IF YOU'RE HERE, I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU.

829
01:20:37,917 --> 01:20:41,546
YEON-HEE, I SAW THEY TALKED
ABOUT FRANCE ON THE NEWS.

830
01:20:41,629 --> 01:20:47,468
ARE YOU IN PARIS? KOREA?
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.

831
01:20:56,352 --> 01:21:02,024
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

832
01:22:19,977 --> 01:22:21,979
[line dialing]

833
01:22:30,738 --> 01:22:33,366
- [André] <i>Well, well, Freddie.</i>
- André.

834
01:22:33,991 --> 01:22:35,117
<i>Already missing me?</i>

835
01:22:57,932 --> 01:23:02,895
FIVE YEARS LATER

836
01:23:27,503 --> 01:23:28,546
[Freddie in French] Maxime.

837
01:23:33,009 --> 01:23:33,843
What should I wear?

838
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:37,596
Do you think the dress is too formal?

839
01:23:38,764 --> 01:23:40,641
[in French] You're overthinking it.

840
01:23:40,725 --> 01:23:41,726
Go with your gut.

841
01:23:42,685 --> 01:23:44,687
No, seriously. Which do you prefer?

842
01:23:46,147 --> 01:23:47,565
Shit.

843
01:23:49,066 --> 01:23:49,900
What?

844
01:23:53,529 --> 01:23:55,197
We forgot your ballet shoes.

845
01:23:57,324 --> 01:23:58,659
Idiot!

846
01:24:02,163 --> 01:24:03,664
No, really,

847
01:24:03,748 --> 01:24:07,710
you haven't seen him for seven years,
wear something comfortable.

848
01:24:08,210 --> 01:24:09,045
That's all.

849
01:24:11,464 --> 01:24:12,298
Come and see.

850
01:24:36,739 --> 01:24:37,865
Thanks for being here.

851
01:24:39,700 --> 01:24:42,703
[pensive music playing]

852
01:25:09,021 --> 01:25:10,981
Could you text my parents
to say we've arrived?

853
01:25:11,524 --> 01:25:14,151
- Shouldn't you do that?
- No, they love you.

854
01:25:14,235 --> 01:25:15,319
I have to call André.

855
01:25:16,237 --> 01:25:17,154
[in English] Okay.

856
01:25:23,577 --> 01:25:25,579
[video chat dialing]

857
01:25:27,164 --> 01:25:29,917
- [André] <i>Well? How are you feeling?</i>
- Okay, so far.

858
01:25:30,459 --> 01:25:32,586
<i>It's funny
to do something here again, huh?</i>

859
01:25:34,421 --> 01:25:36,465
<i>You're even more elegant than in Paris.</i>

860
01:25:37,341 --> 01:25:39,468
- Do we go together tomorrow?
<i>- No.</i>

861
01:25:39,552 --> 01:25:41,804
<i>I'll go ahead to sort the file
with the Koreans.</i>

862
01:25:42,972 --> 01:25:44,557
- Okay.
<i>- No, wait.</i>

863
01:25:45,307 --> 01:25:48,060
<i>I assure you,
they know you haven't made a decision.</i>

864
01:25:48,811 --> 01:25:50,771
<i>No one wants to force you.</i>

865
01:25:50,855 --> 01:25:54,692
<i>I told them our deal.
Tomorrow is just a first meeting.</i>

866
01:25:55,192 --> 01:25:56,026
<i>No pressure.</i>

867
01:25:56,652 --> 01:25:58,863
Yeah, I know your "no pressure."

868
01:25:58,946 --> 01:26:01,782
<i>But they really like your profile.</i>

869
01:26:02,616 --> 01:26:05,077
<i>Know what
the missile-division boss calls you?</i>

870
01:26:05,161 --> 01:26:06,704
[in English] <i>The James Bond Girl.</i>

871
01:26:07,371 --> 01:26:10,332
- Okay, André. Bye.
- [in French] <i>Bye.</i>

872
01:26:22,469 --> 01:26:23,888
This place is toxic for me.

873
01:26:25,806 --> 01:26:26,807
I'll need you.

874
01:26:27,808 --> 01:26:29,852
Don't worry. I'm here.

875
01:26:30,561 --> 01:26:32,062
I'm serious, Maxime.

876
01:26:45,326 --> 01:26:46,160
Delicious.

877
01:26:49,830 --> 01:26:52,041
This happened in France?

878
01:26:52,541 --> 01:26:54,084
[in Korean] No, in Thailand.

879
01:26:54,919 --> 01:26:57,463
[in English] We've got the accident there,

880
01:26:57,546 --> 01:27:00,758
so I decided to have
the operation in Bangkok.

881
01:27:02,801 --> 01:27:04,553
The accident was in Thailand.

882
01:27:04,637 --> 01:27:07,056
[Freddie]
But tell him it's nothing serious.

883
01:27:07,765 --> 01:27:09,433
And your friend okay?

884
01:27:10,601 --> 01:27:13,729
[in English] Oh, yeah. Only scratches.

885
01:27:13,812 --> 01:27:14,730
Uh...

886
01:27:14,813 --> 01:27:17,816
It's Freddie who was driving
the scooter, of course.

887
01:27:19,068 --> 01:27:19,902
Look.

888
01:27:38,712 --> 01:27:39,546
[in Korean] Touch.

889
01:27:45,719 --> 01:27:46,553
Touch it.

890
01:28:18,127 --> 01:28:20,379
Why didn't you tell us?

891
01:28:25,175 --> 01:28:27,636
Eat. Eat.

892
01:28:36,270 --> 01:28:37,271
Um...

893
01:28:38,147 --> 01:28:40,274
[in English] I'm sorry for restaurant.

894
01:28:40,357 --> 01:28:43,110
I don't know you stop meat now.

895
01:28:43,193 --> 01:28:45,612
Oh, it's okay, it's fine. Don't worry.

896
01:28:50,034 --> 01:28:51,910
It's so good. Really.

897
01:28:52,703 --> 01:28:55,331
It's, um-- [in Korean] It's delicious.

898
01:28:55,414 --> 01:28:56,498
[in Korean] It's delicious!

899
01:29:00,419 --> 01:29:01,253
[in English] Yes.

900
01:29:06,842 --> 01:29:07,843
Thank you.

901
01:29:19,980 --> 01:29:20,814
Thank you.

902
01:29:21,982 --> 01:29:23,984
[in Korean] I don't drink alcohol.

903
01:29:25,486 --> 01:29:27,321
- Really?
- [Freddie] No.

904
01:29:28,739 --> 01:29:30,491
No meat, no alcohol?

905
01:29:30,574 --> 01:29:31,408
No.

906
01:29:32,284 --> 01:29:34,578
[in English]
It's not for ecological reasons,

907
01:29:34,661 --> 01:29:37,956
but, um, I never felt so good in my life.

908
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:40,834
Yes or no?

909
01:29:42,086 --> 01:29:44,004
[in Korean] Alcohol, stop.

910
01:29:44,838 --> 01:29:46,131
Alcohol, stop?

911
01:29:46,215 --> 01:29:47,216
Alcohol, stop!

912
01:29:47,883 --> 01:29:49,009
[in English] Okay.

913
01:29:49,635 --> 01:29:51,095
[in Korean] Alcohol, stop?

914
01:29:52,221 --> 01:29:53,055
[in English] Okay.

915
01:29:53,972 --> 01:29:55,224
[in Korean] Tomorrow, no more.

916
01:29:55,307 --> 01:29:56,934
[in French] He'll stop tomorrow.

917
01:29:57,017 --> 01:29:59,395
- [in English] Tomorrow, stop.
- [all chuckle]

918
01:30:08,362 --> 01:30:12,783

He's changed since the last time.

919
01:30:12,866 --> 01:30:15,577
He almost looks younger. Weird.

920
01:30:19,873 --> 01:30:21,917

He looks like the photos you showed me.

921

922
01:30:25,421 --> 01:30:26,255
[Maxime] Yes.

I wish you had warned me earlier.

924

927
01:30:49,486 --> 01:30:51,155
[in English] I'm just here for a mission.

928

929
01:30:53,991 --> 01:30:56,702
Uh, he ask, what is your job?

930
01:30:57,286 --> 01:31:00,247
[in Korean] Mm... I sell missiles.

931
01:31:00,330 --> 01:31:01,748
"Missiles"?

932
01:31:01,832 --> 01:31:04,251
[in English] She sells missiles.

933
01:31:05,127 --> 01:31:07,004
- Oh, missiles.
- [Maxime] Missiles.

934
01:31:09,089 --> 01:31:11,967
[in English] I work for a French group,

935
01:31:12,050 --> 01:31:14,386
which collaborates
with many other countries

936
01:31:14,470 --> 01:31:17,181
like Taiwan or Colombia.

937
01:31:17,264 --> 01:31:21,894
And we help them to improve
their national defense system.

938
01:31:21,977 --> 01:31:24,771
She sells weapons to make war?

939
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:26,982
For the war?

940
01:31:28,066 --> 01:31:30,110
No, for peace. In theory.

941
01:31:30,694 --> 01:31:34,323
And you come to Korea to sell missiles?

942
01:31:34,406 --> 01:31:35,699
Actually...

943
01:31:37,534 --> 01:31:40,704
Freddie thinks maybe it's,
uh, her destiny.

944
01:31:40,787 --> 01:31:41,872
[Aunt] Destiny?

945
01:31:41,955 --> 01:31:46,710
Yeah, she left for France
when she was a baby.

946
01:31:46,793 --> 01:31:50,547
And now that she's an adult,
she's coming back

947
01:31:51,048 --> 01:31:56,470
to defend South Korea against North Korea.

948
01:31:58,472 --> 01:31:59,473
[Aunt] Hm...

949
01:32:00,349 --> 01:32:01,642
[in Korean] From what he says,

950
01:32:02,476 --> 01:32:08,023
it's Yeon-hee's destiny
to help South Korea against North Korea.

951
01:32:09,983 --> 01:32:11,360
Really?

952
01:32:17,407 --> 01:32:20,661
[in French] My father wants to play
some music he wrote for me.

953
01:32:22,037 --> 01:32:25,874
He recently started to play the piano.
He composes during his free time.

954
01:32:26,792 --> 01:32:28,835
What a coincidence.

955
01:32:28,919 --> 01:32:31,547
Yeah, weird.

956
01:32:37,302 --> 01:32:40,305
[gentle piano melody

957
01:34:00,510 --> 01:34:05,098
Not bad for someone self-taught.

958
01:34:10,562 --> 01:34:11,396
What?

959
01:34:16,193 --> 01:34:21,281
[in English] I'm happy that me and him,
we can exchange normal text messages now.

960
01:34:21,865 --> 01:34:23,700
[in English] He is happy too.

961
01:34:25,327 --> 01:34:27,746
Is his health okay?

962
01:34:27,829 --> 01:34:30,040
Does he still drink a lot?

963
01:34:30,123 --> 01:34:33,377
No, uh, he drinks less.

964
01:34:47,015 --> 01:34:48,266
Where did he go?

965
01:34:48,350 --> 01:34:50,143
He looking for a taxi.

966
01:34:54,564 --> 01:34:57,067
It's here, let's go.

967
01:34:58,902 --> 01:35:00,737
Come on, the taxi's here!

968
01:35:22,092 --> 01:35:23,677
[Aunt] I'm sorry for this.

969
01:35:25,512 --> 01:35:26,805
Nice to meet you.

01:35:28,557 --> 01:35:29,683
Uh, taxi.

[Aunt] Bye.

Bye.

976
01:36:00,297 --> 01:36:01,381
[in French] Was that normal?

977
01:36:06,970 --> 01:36:08,054
To the guesthouse?

978
01:36:19,441 --> 01:36:22,068
It's striking
how much you resemble your father.

979
01:36:27,282 --> 01:36:29,117
[Freddie in Korean]
Take us to the Itaewon area.

980
01:36:29,910 --> 01:36:31,661
[driver in Korean]
So you're partying tonight?

981
01:36:32,037 --> 01:36:32,871
[Freddie] Yes.

982
01:36:36,249 --> 01:36:37,709
We're not going to the guesthouse?

983
01:36:39,586 --> 01:36:41,546
[in French] No, I changed my mind.

984
01:36:59,523 --> 01:37:02,025
I could wipe you from my life
with a snap of my fingers.

985
01:37:04,486 --> 01:37:05,320
What?

986
01:37:08,782 --> 01:37:10,325
I could wipe you from my life...

987
01:37:11,660 --> 01:37:12,786
with a snap of my fingers.

991
01:39:20,246 --> 01:39:21,998
Hello? This is Frédérique Benoît.

992
01:39:23,124 --> 01:39:24,542
You just sent me a message.

993
01:39:30,882 --> 01:39:32,008
<i>Yes, still in Seoul.</i>

994
01:39:37,722 --> 01:39:38,765

997
01:40:23,643 --> 01:40:25,645
Is this where I was abandoned?

998
01:40:26,813 --> 01:40:31,067
No, the old Jeonju Hammond
was in another neighborhood.

999
01:40:31,568 --> 01:40:36,489
The building was destroyed
and Hammond moved here in the 2000s.

1000
01:40:37,907 --> 01:40:39,075
You're very young.

1001
01:40:44,164 --> 01:40:46,958
This is your original adoption file.

1002
01:40:47,625 --> 01:40:50,003
You received a copy in Seoul.

1003
01:41:16,529 --> 01:41:18,073
Are we sure she will come?

1004
01:41:18,782 --> 01:41:20,700
We can never be certain,

1005
01:41:20,784 --> 01:41:25,371
but the tone of your mother on the phone
suggests she will come.

1006
01:41:27,791 --> 01:41:29,501
You came early.

1007
01:41:30,251 --> 01:41:31,252
Yes, that's true.

1008
01:41:33,922 --> 01:41:35,381
[knocking on door]

1009
01:41:35,465 --> 01:41:36,549

[in Korean] I've brought you some hot tea.

1011
01:41:46,267 --> 01:41:47,393
[in Korean] Thank you.

1012
01:42:10,792 --> 01:42:14,129
[in French]
I'll now explain what will follow.

1013
01:42:15,338 --> 01:42:21,344
When your mother arrives,
she will be settled in the room next door.

1014
01:42:21,427 --> 01:42:25,473
It's more or less the same layout
and size as this one.

1015
01:42:26,516 --> 01:42:30,228
Then someone will tell us
that she has arrived.

1016
01:42:31,938 --> 01:42:35,859
I will go to speak
to your mother separately

1017
01:42:35,942 --> 01:42:37,944
to prepare her for the meeting.

1018
01:42:38,611 --> 01:42:40,864
Like we are doing now.

1019
01:42:42,490 --> 01:42:47,162
When your mother is ready,
I will bring her here.

1020
01:42:47,245 --> 01:42:51,583
Do you accept
that I be present during the meeting?

1021
01:42:53,668 --> 01:42:55,128
Yes, all right.

- Wait. Wait.
- Yes?

1026
01:43:31,581 --> 01:43:34,292
There's something I don't understand.

1027
01:43:34,876 --> 01:43:35,919
Tell me.

1028
01:43:38,421 --> 01:43:43,092
I thought that once parents had
refused to see their child...

1029
01:43:45,345 --> 01:43:48,681
Hammond could send no more telegrams.

1030
01:43:49,182 --> 01:43:50,850
Yes, that's the law.

1031
01:43:53,019 --> 01:43:54,062
But then...

1032
01:43:55,605 --> 01:44:00,026
why did you accept my request
for my mother?

1033
01:44:03,696 --> 01:44:06,074
Perhaps we have employees

1034
01:44:06,157 --> 01:44:09,244

of an adopted child.

1035
01:44:12,538 --> 01:44:13,581
