00:00:05I'm Annie Smith, a junior translator at White Global Trading Co. Lou Did.
00:00:09I've been here for three years and make $24,000 a year.
00:00:13Pretty ordinary, right?
00:00:14But in fact, I'm fluent in eight languages.
00:00:17English, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Arabic, and Italian.
00:00:23Nobody knows that.
00:00:24My father was a diplomat and mother was simultaneous instructor.
00:00:27Five years ago, they died in a car accident.
00:00:30I've never wanted to show off because of these skills.
00:00:33I just want to keep my head down and be a small, unassuming translator.
00:00:36Let's welcome Mr. White to the stage.
00:00:40Everyone have worked hard over the past year.
00:00:44Thank you for your dedication.
00:00:46In the new year, we will...
00:00:49It's been ten minutes.
00:00:50And I'm down here counting how many times he says thank you while he's giving the speech.
00:00:56Nanny, you better win the lucky draw later.
00:00:59If you do, dinner's on me.
00:01:02Sure, why not?
00:01:04That's my everyday life.
00:01:05Elon is my only friend at work.
00:01:08She doesn't know I speak eight languages.
00:01:11But she does know one thing.
00:01:14Also, I have another indication that everyone here, who speaks German, receives a 70% Gehanserröhung.
00:01:2670%.
00:01:27My salary would go from 24.000 to 4.800.
00:01:31But it has nothing to do with me.
00:01:33I told myself, it has nothing to do with me.
00:01:40Annie, did you understand that?
00:01:42No.
00:01:44I don't speak German.
00:01:46Right, of course.
00:01:47You only have a certificate in Spanish.
00:01:49What could you possibly understand?
00:01:52Poor thing.
00:01:54Scarlett, majoring in German, French, and Spanish, is the head of translator team.
00:02:00She got promoted in just three months.
00:02:02And has been riding that high ever since.
00:02:06Anyway, the raise has nothing to do with you.
00:02:10Just keep doing the basic work.
00:02:13Oh, and remember to translate the annual meeting press replaced tonight.
00:02:17I didn't say anything.
00:02:19A 70% raise.
00:02:20The German translation team consists of four people, plus Scarlett.
00:02:24Only five people would get it.
00:02:25What did that have to do with me?
00:02:27Nothing.
00:02:28Really, nothing.
00:02:33Anne!
00:02:33Stay right there!
00:02:35I'm coming over right now!
00:02:38Annie?
00:02:40Why didn't you raise your hand just now?
00:02:42Raise my hand for what?
00:02:45You definitely understood that German, right?
00:02:4670%?
00:02:48You only make 24,000 a year.
00:02:50After the raise, that's 4,800 a year.
00:02:53No, I didn't get the meeting.
00:02:54I don't speak German.
00:02:58Who are you trying to fool?
00:02:59Your French is already that good.
00:03:01You're expecting me to believe you don't understand German.
00:03:03Are you kidding me?
00:03:04I really don't understand German.
00:03:06Anne, that crappy place you rent barely have working heating.
00:03:10Sometimes you even can't bring yourself to go and we go out for a drink on Friday.
00:03:14Can't you stand up for yourself for once?
00:03:16Elyne caught me reading a French book in the pantry last year.
00:03:18I told her I'd studied a little bit French.
00:03:21She's been holding it in for almost a year.
00:03:24I don't want to expose.
00:03:30Oh my God, Annie, what are you afraid of?
00:03:35Fine, keep pretending.
00:03:37I'm done.
00:03:38But Annie, I'm telling you.
00:03:39You're going to suffer with that kind of personality sooner or later.
00:03:44Alright.
00:03:51Guter Schaßzug, oder?
00:03:52Schließlich können das nur die Leute aus dem deutschen Team verstehen.
00:03:56Das bedeutet, dass sich nur dem Kern-Team eine Gehens-Erhöhung gibt.
00:04:00Alle anderen werden einfach denken, dass ich eine motivasierische Rehe halte.
00:04:05Sehr brillant, Mr. White.
00:04:08Abross.
00:04:09Wen schäden wir nächste Woche für das Projekt der Crown Bell Group?
00:04:14Scarlet.
00:04:15Sie spricht am besten Deutsch.
00:04:18Ich habe gehört, dass Präsident Anderson von Crown Bell ziemlich schwierig ist.
00:04:22Letztes Mal hat er das gesamte Übersetzungsgrund von Meridian aus dem Sprengsraum hineinbefrogen.
00:04:27Das sollte kein Problem sein.
00:04:28Scarlet kommt damit klar.
00:04:33Leute, auf Anis-Nivelle sollten wir diesmal nicht mitmehen.
00:04:35Sie könnten das Meeting ruinieren.
00:04:39Sie wussten nicht, dass ich sie verstehen.
00:04:41Sie wussten, dass ich nur ein kleines Translator bin.
00:04:45Aber das ist nur zu erwähnen.
00:04:47Ich habe nicht gezeigt, was ich kann, was ich auch nicht tun kann.
00:04:49Annie, send mir die Proof-Read-Version von heute Morgen.
00:04:55Ja, Mr. White.
00:05:01Ich habe die Proof-Read-Version von Brian White auf dem nächsten Tag.
00:05:05Es war ein 30,000-Word-Spanisch-Kontrakt.
00:05:08Und ich habe 47 Fehler in der Original-Translator in der Original-Translator.
00:05:11Die Original-Translator war Scarlet.
00:05:13Aber mein Name würde niemals auf der Proof-Read-Version sein.
00:05:16Es würde nur die Translator-Departement auf der Übersetzung zeigen.
00:05:19Scarlet nie wusste, dass ihre Translator-Version von mir wurden.
00:05:23Sie wusste, dass sie der Topf war.
00:05:26Annie, hörst du?
00:05:28Hörst du?
00:05:28Scarlet wird die Crownwell-International-Version sein nächstes Mal.
00:05:32Ich hörte.
00:05:33Do you know Präsident Andersen von Crownwell?
00:05:39Wer?
00:05:44Louis Andersen, 32 Jahre alt,
00:05:46Präsident von Crownwell-International-Commerce-Grupp-Leadien.
00:05:49Er ist 98 in der letzten Jahrhunderts Global-Wealth-Rankings.
00:05:51They say he's fluent in five languages,
00:05:53but notorious for his bad temper.
00:05:54He even chewed out the entire Meridian's translation team
00:05:57and drove them out of a meeting room.
00:05:58What does that have to do with me?
00:06:00You don't think Scarlet can handle him?
00:06:03Even if she can't, that's not my business.
00:06:08Annie, seriously.
00:06:09You're way too good at putting up with things.
00:06:11Louis left.
00:06:12She doesn't get it.
00:06:13I'm not putting up with it.
00:06:14I just don't want to get involved.
00:06:16It was an Eric supplier quotation.
00:06:18Technically, it should have gone to someone on the Eric Group.
00:06:20But the Arab team is out of the office today,
00:06:23so Alex Wood casually dumped it on me.
00:06:25Annie, didn't you say you took a little Arabic course in college?
00:06:28Just do a rough translation.
00:06:29Sure.
00:06:30I did tell him I'd taken a little Arabic.
00:06:32But in fact, I lived in Saudi Arabia for two years.
00:06:35Arabic is basically my fourth native language.
00:06:38It took me 15 minutes to finish the translation.
00:06:40I left two tiny mistakes in proposal
00:06:42just to pretend the work of someone
00:06:44who had only taken a little Arabic.
00:06:51Not bad was actually good enough for me.
00:07:00Annie, organize these materials for me.
00:07:02I need them for Crownwell's project next week.
00:07:04This is background materials
00:07:06on Crownwell International Commerce Group Loa,
00:07:08all in Spanish.
00:07:09About 50 pages.
00:07:10This isn't my job.
00:07:11How is it not?
00:07:12You're in the translation department,
00:07:13and I'm your leader.
00:07:14Is there a problem with me assigning you work?
00:07:16She had been promoted to team leader last month,
00:07:19so of course was at the peak of her arrogance.
00:07:22Fine.
00:07:25Oh, and there's a department meeting tomorrow.
00:07:27We'll be discussing the handover plan for the Crownwell project.
00:07:30You don't need to attend.
00:07:32I know.
00:07:32You're only responsible for basic proofreading.
00:07:35A major project like this
00:07:36isn't something you get to be part of.
00:07:38I know.
00:07:45I heard everything in the pantry.
00:07:47Who does she think she is talking to you like that?
00:07:48What does she mean by not something you get to be part of?
00:07:51I'm used to it.
00:07:52Can't you just clap back for once?
00:07:53And then what?
00:07:54She's the boss.
00:07:57If you showed everyone what you can really do,
00:07:59what kind of boss would she even be?
00:08:03I don't want to.
00:08:04What exactly are you afraid of, Annie?
00:08:07What am I afraid of?
00:08:08I don't know either.
00:08:10Maybe I'm afraid of being noticed.
00:08:12Afraid that people will dig into my past
00:08:13and will look at me with pity.
00:08:16Or maybe I'm just too tired to care.
00:08:22An annual salary of $24 for $1,000.
00:08:26In this city, after rent and utilities,
00:08:29there isn't much left.
00:08:36Hello?
00:08:37Hello.
00:08:37Am I speaking with Miss Annie Smith?
00:08:39Yes.
00:08:40This is Attorney Wills from Kirkland and Ellis Law Firm.
00:08:43There are some documents regarding the settlement
00:08:45of the overseas assets left by your parents,
00:08:47and we need you to sign in person.
00:08:49I've said this before.
00:08:50I don't want any of it.
00:08:51Donate everything.
00:08:51Mrs. Smith, there is a sum in your parents' account in Zurich.
00:08:54I don't want it.
00:08:55Attorney Wills, thank you,
00:08:56but please stop calling me.
00:09:04The Translation Department had a meeting on the Monday morning.
00:09:07I wasn't told to attend,
00:09:08but my desk was right next to the meeting room.
00:09:10I could hear every word through that glass wall.
00:09:13Louis Anderson is fluent in German and French.
00:09:15There are also someone who can speak Mandarin and Japanese in his team.
00:09:18This time we're discussing a supply chain partnership
00:09:20for the Middle East market.
00:09:22Anything involving Arabic will be handled by their side.
00:09:24We only need to cover the German communication.
00:09:26Can you handle that?
00:09:27Of course.
00:09:28I studied in Germany for three years.
00:09:29The business negotiation like this is exactly in my comfort zone.
00:09:32To be fair, Charlotte's German is decent.
00:09:34Daily conversation is indeed a piece of cake for her.
00:09:37But I've reviewed her previous translations.
00:09:39Her business German has one fatal habit.
00:09:41She relies too much on literal translation,
00:09:42and often misses the level of formality required
00:09:44in German business correspondence.
00:09:46In everyday conversation, that's not a big deal.
00:09:48But if the person she faced is extremely sensitive to details,
00:09:51never mind.
00:09:52Not my business.
00:09:54Finish sorting everything?
00:09:56Yes.
00:09:57I made her a summary classified by project type,
00:09:59cooperation history, and key personnel.
00:10:01I also marked the changes of care policies and the risk points.
00:10:03All she had to do was a glance through,
00:10:05and she was exactly to expect.
00:10:06It'll do.
00:10:11Scarlett!
00:10:13Scarlett!
00:10:14He rarely came down here in person.
00:10:17Scarlett,
00:10:18Crown will move the schedule up.
00:10:20Anderson will be here tomorrow afternoon.
00:10:21Are you ready?
00:10:22Moved up?
00:10:25I've gone through all the materials.
00:10:27No problem.
00:10:27Good.
00:10:28Bring someone with you tomorrow for on-site interpretation support.
00:10:31I'll take Zach.
00:10:33His German is decent, too.
00:10:34Zach is still on leave.
00:10:39Annie, you come with me tomorrow.
00:10:41Me?
00:10:41I only speak Spanish.
00:10:43You'll just take notes and serve coffee.
00:10:44I'll handle the professional part.
00:10:47Her?
00:10:48Don't worry, Mr. White.
00:10:50She's more than enough as an assistant.
00:10:52I got dragged into Crown Millions business negotiation
00:10:54as an assistant and a note taker.
00:10:57Someone who can serve coffee at the same time.
00:10:59I sent you in a message.
00:11:01I will go to Crown Mill tomorrow.
00:11:03Scarlett is taking you?
00:11:04Doesn't she always sit down on you as the errand girl?
00:11:07You just agreed to that?
00:11:09What else am I supposed to do?
00:11:11Annie!
00:11:22Are you from White Global?
00:11:24Yes.
00:11:25I'm Scarlett, team leader of the translation department.
00:11:27This is my assistant, Annie.
00:11:29Oh, she called me assistant.
00:11:31I didn't correct her.
00:11:35Please wait.
00:11:35President Alexandring is still in a meeting.
00:12:02Miss Scarlett, President Anderson will see you now.
00:12:1632 years old, about 6 foot 1.
00:12:18Gray suit, no tie.
00:12:20The top button of his shirt was undone.
00:12:22His face was cold.
00:12:23Not the kind of cold people put on to look cool.
00:12:25He was genuinely cold.
00:12:26Sit.
00:12:28Two other people were sitting next to him.
00:12:30The legal director and a lady who looked very, very young.
00:12:33A translation device sat in front of her.
00:12:39In the last episode, that you showed up next to us yesterday, was at a rate of tarifingale
00:12:44on the standards of 2000, 2001.
00:12:47We have now 2024.
00:12:49What does that mean?
00:12:50He spoke so fast.
00:12:52Every word was sharp.
00:12:53She understood him.
00:12:54But she clearly didn't expect him to open like that.
00:13:02I mean...
00:13:03I have asked in German, so please answer in German.
00:13:07I don't want to spend time with over-satting.
00:13:11That was only a first end.
00:13:14We are going to update the data.
00:13:16Update?
00:13:17Is anyone in your key with the new software for the import of the EG in the Nahen Sech for
00:13:212020?
00:13:27She didn't know.
00:13:30But I did.
00:13:31Because that policy change was mentioned in the background materials.
00:13:34I had specifically marked it in the summary.
00:13:37But Scarlet obviously hadn't read it carefully.
00:13:41Did you...
00:13:42I have to do it first in the internal.
00:13:47Have you not prepared before you come here?
00:13:51You have to do it.
00:13:52You have to do it in the right language.
00:13:55I did nothing.
00:13:56I did nothing.
00:13:57I did nothing.
00:13:57I did nothing.
00:13:58I did nothing.
00:13:58I did nothing.
00:13:58I did nothing.
00:13:58And the third thing...
00:14:00I did nothing.
00:14:01Do you know what it means in the business in order to use the wrong language?
00:14:05It means either you don't respect or don't disclose your truth or not.
00:14:09How does that mean?
00:14:11The legal director beside Anderson gave a slight shake of his head.
00:14:15The meaning was obvious.
00:14:17This negotiation was about to fall through.
00:14:25Herr Präsident Anderson, ich wette vielmals um Entschuldung.
00:14:28If this is the evil of White Glover,
00:14:30I will feel I'm going to feel to have another partner to shake.
00:14:33My hands froze above the keyboard.
00:14:35Two voices were speaking in my head.
00:14:37It's none of your concern.
00:14:38You're just here to fetch coffee and serve drinks.
00:14:40This is Whitworth did Global's biggest deal of the year.
00:14:42If we lose it, they'll probably be layoffs by the end of the year.
00:14:44And junior translators like me will be first on the chopping block.
00:14:58President Anderson, geben Sie uns bitte noch fünf Minuten.
00:15:14And you are?
00:15:16I'm Annie, junior translator at Whitmore Global.
00:15:21Junior translator?
00:15:22Yes.
00:15:23The one who always takes notes beside and serves coffee.
00:15:29Five minutes.
00:15:33The new 3 has a standard for over 60's of 6 to 8.
00:15:38This one has a 3.
00:15:40The new 3 has a standard for 6 to 8.
00:15:40This one shows our day-to-day benchmark.
00:15:42And we will come 5%
00:15:43And we will explain the difference.

00:21:50someone who belongs in a junior position that is my current position i know that's why i'm curious
00:21:55crown well has an internal meeting tomorrow afternoon it involves partner selection for the
00:21:59middle eastern market i need an arabic speaking interpreter there this should go through the company
00:22:03i know but i'm asking you directly would you like to come okay i will
00:22:10annie maybe you're going to be exposed after all i knew this day would come eventually
00:22:14but i just didn't expect it to come this soon
00:22:20they were from a construction materials group in the uae the man leading the meeting looked
00:22:23about 50 wearing a white robe with a siri expression a young arab woman sat beside
00:22:27him should be his interpreter you're here today i may need you to do an interpretation between eric
00:22:33and english okay if starlet were here she would probably ask where did your ablik even come from
00:22:38the answer is i lived in cairo for a year and a half during that time my roommate was even
00:22:42an egyptian
00:22:42diplomat's daughter
00:22:47grass let's follow that scene is lower standard procedure 15 minutes past
00:22:59i lowered my head in height as if i were taking notes then i turned my laptop slightly so louie
00:23:03anderson could see this one line in english they said they want to push the price down by 20 work
00:23:06they'll switch to suppliers louie anderson's eyes stayed on the screen for one second
00:23:10his expression didn't change at all but is in the negotiation that followed his strategy clearly
00:23:15shifted let's cut the chase our final offer is 10 below the current market price take your lead
00:23:25your abhishek is excellent not that good just the daily level you heard what he said to his
00:23:30interpreter just now then you warned me i just thought the information might be useful for the
00:23:34negotiation without that warning from you this deal would have cost us at least eight million dollars
00:23:38today annie how many languages do you speak german french japanese korean spanish arabic and italian
00:23:43eight in total plus english and you're a junior level translator at white global do you think
00:23:48that makes sense it was my choice would you be interested in coming to crownwell i can start
00:23:52you at four hundred thousand dollars a year if you're willing to head the international business
00:23:55department there's no upper limit mr anderson thank you for the offer i'm not planning to change jobs
00:24:00for now for now for now you can change your mind to any ground only one line of text lowey
00:24:04anderson and
00:24:05phone number it didn't even say president crownwell international this kind of card is usually given
00:24:09to people who already need to know who you are what are you doing i i was passing by and
00:24:23saw your
00:24:23computer was still on it was off when i left you went to crownwell again today louie anderson asked you
00:24:28to go didn't he it was needed for the project coordination what kind of project needs you to
00:24:31interpret arabic you never said you were that good at arabic what else are you hiding scarlet what
00:24:35did you see on my computer i didn't see anything she had opened my personal folder what was inside
00:24:42some translation exercises casual translations in french japanese and korean things i did when i
00:24:48was bored if she saw those annie what exactly did you do at crownwell today scarlet was losing her mind
00:24:56in the office all afternoon she went through your computer i know you know why aren't you reporting
00:24:59her report what i don't have proof you are way too forget it i heard something today do you want
00:25:04to
00:25:04know go on there's something going on between scarlet and alicewood what do you mean i handle
00:25:08reverse performance and advent over the past six months girl has gone along with alicewood to talk
00:25:12about work 17 times every single time i was at that hotel on the one side of the city think
00:25:15about that
00:25:16that has nothing to do with me how does it have nothing to do with you alexwood made carlet department
00:25:19leader
00:25:19because of that relationship the message basically said the company found some employees failed to
00:25:29truthfully fill in personal skills during onboarding all staff must update profiles within a week
00:25:35concealment or classification will be dealt with as a violation of company regulations
00:25:40this email is entered straight to you of course i knew when scarlet went through my computer she found
00:25:47those multilingual translation exercises she must have gone to alexwood
00:25:54annie did you see that email so what are you planning to update your profile i'm still thinking about
00:26:00it i suggest you do it soon if they find out you hid something that'll be a very serious matter
00:26:09thank you for the reminder scarlet
00:26:17had a pure black background with handwritten words on the back
00:26:22i never noticed it before it hasn't come to that yet
00:26:29there are two things to discuss today first the crownwell project has finished the initial handover
00:26:35mr anderson is very satisfied with our translation work bonuses for this project will be issued next month
00:26:44second regarding the update of employee profiles
00:26:51mr white i have a question go ahead if an employee deliberately hides their skills and causes the
00:26:59company to make the mistakes in allocation human resources does that count as a violation
00:27:10then let me give an example say an employee only lists spanish on her profile but in fact she is
00:27:14fluent in multiple languages the company assigns her position and salary according on the standard for
00:27:18a spanish translator and she never raises any objection over three years without knowing the
00:27:22truth the company loses out on a huge amount of usable human resources this kind of behavior enough
00:27:30scarlet get to the point the person you're talking about is me right
00:27:35so what yes i only listed spanish on my profile because the position i applied for was junior spanish
00:27:42translator i have never made a mistake during the work
00:27:46as for the other languages as for the other languages you hid your ability you let the company
00:27:51spend high salaries hiring people for the german french and arabic teams when you alone could do
00:27:55all of their jobs isn't that damaging the company's interests if i alone can replace all of them then
00:28:00where does that leave you scarlet this has nothing to do with my place it does because what you're
00:28:05really worried about isn't the company's interests it's the fact that you found out i'm more capable than
00:28:10you and now your position doesn't feel so secure anymore i'll say it again not listing on my profile
00:28:18does not mean hiding the skills section does not say all skills must be listed i chose to show only
00:28:24the skills required for the job i applied for that is my right
00:28:31fine then let me ask another question mr white the bonus for the crownwell project is distributed among
00:28:36the team members right yes annie was added to the team later on a temporary
00:28:40basis the part she took in was just translation handover she wasn't on the original team list
00:28:45so when the bonus is distributed she shouldn't receive the full amount
00:28:48that was a vicious move she stopped attacking me over the hidden skills issue because she knew
00:28:53she couldn't win that fight so she switched to mund money instead well scarlet does have a point
00:29:02annie joined halfway through louie anderson specifically requested me
00:29:08mr anderson what brings you here i came to deliver the contract i heard your meeting the door wasn't
00:29:14fully closed the core negotiation of this project was completed by annie on the day we first met she
00:29:19saved the entire conversation in the final five minutes during the meeting with the uae client she
00:29:23used arabic to win me eight million dollars in profit margin how your company distributes bonuses
00:29:27your business but i suggest you figure out who really is the key person in this project
00:29:37one more thing there is a clause in this contract from now on all translation handover work for crown
00:29:43width will be handled by annie if she is no longer at white global this contract automatically becomes void
00:29:53mr anderson you mean i've made myself very clear this contract is worth 80 million dollars a year the
00:30:00handover translator is annie if you replace her the contract is void 80 million annie mr white
00:30:10starting today you are no longer on the junior level then which level i'm in deputy director of the
00:30:16translation department as for your salary you'll discuss it privately mr white she's only been here
00:30:22for three years i've been here for seven scarlet sit down the translation department was in an uproar
00:30:33she actually speaks eight languages she stayed in the junior level for three years how did that happen
00:30:39didn't you hear louis anderson's contract he specifically asked for her 80 million scarlet's face looks
00:30:47amazing i mean the color that line in french you understood it i did what did you think
00:30:58i'm thinking about it take your time
00:31:05annie let's have a chat
00:31:09you hid for three years and now everything is out in the lopen do you really think your life here
00:31:13will
00:31:14be easy from now on are you threatening me i'm reminding you do you think becoming deputy director
00:31:19solves everything the translation department connections client relationships and internal
00:31:24resources are all in my hands you're a newcomer who just got promoted you won't be able to handle any
00:31:28of
00:31:29it what are you trying to say give me your position you can keep working as the handover translator and
00:31:34take your project bonus i'll manage the department and you handle the business we both get what we
00:31:38want what if i don't want to then i'll let you know ability isn't the only thing that matters in
00:31:43reality
00:31:50it tasted awful scarlet was right ability isn't the only thing that matters but there is one thing she's
00:31:56wrong about thinking she was the only one who had the connection
00:32:02on monday something major happened at white global the company had received a new project
00:32:07a fashion brand from leon france it required a full set of french to english brand translation
00:32:12and market localization services alex wood had brought this project back through an old client
00:32:19the amount was not huge but it mattered a lot for the company's brand expansion
00:32:24the problem was one of the two translators on the french team had just resigned last month
00:32:29the other was on maternity leave there's no one left on the french team what are we supposed
00:32:34to do with this project annie what level is your french it works what do you mean by that can
00:32:43you handle
00:32:43high-end french brand localization yes good then you're taking this project
00:32:51the director of the french side personally called brian white after looked through
00:32:57is your translator french the language feels incredibly authentic yes we have a dedicated french
00:33:03translation team
00:33:09annie the french side is extremely satisfied they've added another project the full translation of their
00:33:15product manuals it's worth three million dollars okay i'll approve your project bonus for this month
00:33:22separately thank you mr white
00:33:27please note everyone project assignments in the translation should follow department procedures
00:33:31no one should skip the leader and take projects directly
00:33:46annie do you really speak eight languages yes do you know how rare someone like you is in the
00:33:51translation industry i know then why did you forget it there's something i should tell you scarlet has a real
00:34:00problem with you she's brought it up with me several times already i know you better be careful
00:34:06she has certain connections in the company mr wood about you and scarlet what about us nothing
00:34:21annie scarlet and i don't have the kind of relationship you might be thinking of
00:34:25she got promoted to team lead because she had been here long enough and knew the business well
00:34:29that's all
00:34:32i thought of the 17 hotel reinforcing claims elan had mentioned human nature really is an interesting thing
00:34:41the way people looked at me was strange it wasn't admiration or envy it was more like
00:34:47avoidance something happened what happened scarlet reported you to brian white
00:34:52reported me for what she said you privately liquid white global's internal pricing strategy to crown
00:34:57that while you were translating for them that's a false accusation i know but she has evidence
00:35:02what evidence she said she found a file on your computer screenshots of a chat between you and
00:35:07louie anderson's assistant frank young the chat mentions white global's internal pricing there is no
00:35:12such file on my computer she says there is and she already showed it to brian white brian wants you
00:35:18in
00:35:18his office tomorrow morning to explain yourself that so-called chat record it's fake i sneaked a
00:35:25look at it the chat time was last wednesday at 2 p.m but you were at the department meeting
00:35:29last
00:35:29wednesday afternoon everyone can prove it then how did she she edited the time in the chat photoshopped it
00:35:35but she forgot one thing there's a battery indicator in the top right corner of the screenshot
00:35:39that battery display doesn't match your phone model you use a samsung that screenshot is from an iphone
00:35:46ellen i need you to do me a favor name it you're in administration can you pull the attendance records
00:35:53and meeting room usage records from last wednesday afternoon yes pull them also scarlet's reimbursement
00:35:58records the 17 hotel ones do you have them i do are you finally going to use them not to
00:36:03attack
00:36:04her but to protect myself if she comes after me i need brian white to know her credibility has problem
00:36:20every file had a timestamp and sending record my real chat history with frank young was all on teams
00:36:26with server backups scarlet could fake screenshots but she couldn't change server data
00:36:41i heard you were reported news travels fast frank told me do you need help no i can handle it
00:36:49myself are you sure yes fine if you can't handle it just tell me it won't
00:37:06annie scarlet reported that you privately leaked our pricing strategy to crown well while you were
00:37:11translating for them these screenshots are the evidence she provided is there anything you want
00:37:16to say it was exactly as elene had described my profile picture my name a conversation with frank young
00:37:22the content did involve white global pricing but the wording was extremely unnatural like it had been made
00:37:27by someone who didn't understand formal business conversation these screenshots are fake of course
00:37:33you would say that i can prove it this is my full chat history with frank young it has server
00:37:41backups
00:37:41and timestamps please compare them the times don't match the screenshot scarlet provided show that the
00:37:49conversation happened last wednesday at 2 p.m but the team's record show that annie and frank young had no
00:37:55conversation at that time she could have deleted teams has server backups even if an employee deletes the
00:37:59chat on their eye the server still keeps it also from 2 p.m to 4 p.m last wednesday
00:38:03i was attending the
00:38:04department meeting in the company the attendance and meeting room booking records can prove it one more
00:38:08thing this screenshot is from an ios interface i use android scarlet your phone is an iphone isn't it
00:38:14that proves nothing maybe you changed phone i've been here for three years the device binding records
00:38:20from it show i have never used an iphone
00:38:27scarlet where did these screenshots come from i i found them on her computer after you went through my
00:38:33computer last week i reset the password these screenshots were never on my computer
00:38:40you never saw these snapshots on my computer because they never existed in the first place
00:38:46you made them yourself
00:38:49scarlet do you have anything else to explain
00:38:53mr wood say something scarlet you went too far this time
00:38:59faking evidence to falsely accuse a colleague is a serious violation scarlet your position as the
00:39:04department leader is revoked immediately mr white also your year-end performance rating will
00:39:07be downgraded by one level if anything like this happens again your employment will be terminated
00:39:10immediately annie are you happy now scarlet from beginning to end you were the one causing trouble
00:39:15for me i never went after you first because your very existence is a quotation you speak eight
00:39:20language and you hit it for three years you made my seven years of hard work look like a joke
00:39:26on the surface no one in the translation department said much but the group chat had completely blown up
00:39:32she should have been removed ages ago her translation skills were just average she only got there through
00:39:38connections you guys didn't know every translation she submitted had been corrected by annie what i am
00:39:45serious i have seen the proof peating records then how many has annie corrected over the past three
00:39:49years a conservative estimate over a hundred
00:40:01excuse me which one of you is annie me hello i am victoria hayes a producer at harbor light media

00:41:30bridge my father said if you can understand a person in their mother tongue you can understand their
00:41:36heart they carved the languages of the world into my blood then they left so i hid those languages away
00:41:43along with my memories of them because every time i speak one of those languages i remember what they
00:41:48looked like when they were by my side teaching it to me german was in berlin my dad taught it
00:41:53to me
00:41:53while taking me for ice cream in front of the bransberg gate french was in paris
00:41:59my mother read malpusso to me in the original french by the san arabic was in cairo the three of

00:43:56already above me eight languages what gives you the right my parents they paid for it with their lives
00:44:05that was the last time we spoke in this building at the airport i unexpectedly ran into someone

00:44:15annie what are you doing here crownwell has business in dubai what's funny coincidence yeah

00:44:31about the inheritance your parents left you you even know about that the law firm has worked with
00:44:36us before attorney wills once mentioned a client who refused to inherit in the state the industry is
00:44:41only so big so the whole world knows not the whole world just me caring about it i turned to
00:44:45look at
00:44:45him and my heart skipped a beat the sunlight in dubai was completely different from back home dry fierce
00:44:50almost as if it could burn straight through your shadow so you are annie the one who speaks eight

00:45:28a third generation iranian merchant in casablanca i interviewed a historian in french
00:45:58and he said he said on the street of jolly shipping and trade are a way of having a dialogue
00:46:03people may come from different backgrounds and speak different languages but their hearts are
00:46:07connected my voice but their hearts was a little halcy because my father had said almost the exact same
00:46:12thing okay that night the team had dinner at the hotel and mr anderson asked whether your work went
00:46:21smoothly today it went smoothly no need to worry about me mr anderson asked me to tell you that he

00:48:07what is that like a diplomat he
00:48:11michael smith
00:48:14michael smith
00:48:16that was my father's name
00:48:20after the interview i sat alone on the streets of cairo i looked up at the sky it was gray
00:48:28i still remember the pistachio flavor ice cream that year
00:48:36hello you arrived in cairo yes
00:48:41what happened your voice sounds off nothing i flew to cairo this afternoon if you have time
00:48:48why do you always show up wherever i am because victoria has your itinerary she's running a project
00:48:53i invested in so i have the right to see that is called stalking that is called paying attention
00:49:02there is a difference the next afternoon louiger anderson went with me to a private
00:49:07warehouse on the outskirts of cairo it was not big but the temperature and humidity were carefully
00:49:12controlled the kind of place used specifically to store antiques
00:49:18after the manager opened the door i saw three full shelves
00:49:24every piece had a handwritten tag hanging on it
00:49:28it was my father's handwriting an 18th century style meissen porcelain vase
00:49:35purchased at the grand bazaar in istanbul 2008
00:49:42i was eight years old in istanbul with my dad he took me to the grand bazaar i kept asking
00:49:47for
00:49:47turkish ice cream and he said we would go after looking at that little stall that stall was selling
00:49:52these old porcelain pieces i did not remember any of it but my dad did for three years i hid
00:49:58everything
00:49:58about them away the languages the inheritance the memories i thought as long as i did not touch any of
00:50:04it
00:50:04i could pretend they had never left but they had always been with me your father was an extraordinary
00:50:10man i know then you should become someone extraordinary too instead of hiding yourself
00:50:18in a position far below your level
00:50:24that night i called attorney wills attorney wills i will handle the inheritance miss smith finally donate
00:50:31the zur accounts and the properties according to the original plan but i am keeping the porcelain
00:50:35collection in cairo understood that is wonderful i will arrange it right away one more thing
00:50:39go ahead did my father leave any letter or document for me not a legal document something
00:50:44personal yes a letter he noted that it should be given to you when you came to collect the antiques
00:50:49send it to me attorney wills sent the letter to my hotel i sat in my room for 10 minutes
00:50:56before
00:50:56finally working up the courage to open the letter the letter was not long
00:51:00annie when you see this letter your mother and i should no longer be by your side
00:51:04knowing your personality i guess you will probably run away for a while
00:51:07you may seal away the memories connected to us along with all those languages maybe it is because
00:51:12every language is tied to us one sentence in german will remind you of landscape in berlin
00:51:16one sentence in arabic will remind you of the stars in cairo but annie language is not a chain
00:51:22language is wings your mother spent her life building bridges i spent mine planting seeds you are that
00:51:27rigid seed don't shrink yourself into the dark you are exceptional you are smart gifted and you
00:51:31should do what you are really good at trying to plant seeds in your own way you are our pride
00:51:34mom and dad will always love you there was a water stain on the paper i did not know whether
00:51:38he left it when he wrote the letter or whether i had just left it my dad was right language
00:51:43is not
00:51:43a chain it is wings in madrid i interviewed a flamenco dancer in spanish she says every language has its
00:51:58own rhythm i wrote that sentence down in my translation notes the final stop was venice omar
00:52:05the arab old bookseller he had his own antique bookshop in the best spot on the busiest square in venice
00:52:11he was in his sixties and had lived in italy for thirty years and the story of him moved me
00:52:17the most
00:52:31what happened after that
00:52:33then i had 10 years to learn the italian and over 10 years to make sure that everyone in that
00:52:37way they called me sir omar
00:52:40the language is not only for tradition it is the way in which you can respect it
00:52:46keep this part original audio with subtitles
00:52:53annie your translation almost made me cry in venice i completed the final three interviews in italian
00:53:00two months two continents and eight languages my dad was right language is not a chain it is wings

00:56:26three months later that company face had its mascara fifth compensation claim a german contract

00:56:38was done by scarlet herself her problem with germich honoratis had finally been exposed on a bigger
00:56:43stage when the news reached white global some people started mocking her in the group chat
00:56:49i only said one thing stop talking about it everyone has to take responsibility for their own choices

00:57:45the street was cold and the street lights stretched our shadows long across the pavement
00:57:50i watched the documentary how was it not good enough for your translation the director was
00:57:56average don't say that about martin but your parts were excellent you weren't just translating
00:58:01in the interview you were carrying the emotion across my father once said if you understand

00:59:10entrance annie you are the most underestimated employee in white global's history mr white you

01:00:16on opening day more than 300 people came to the new york venue uncle george stood in the exhibition hall
01:00:22looking at my father's handwritten labels on the Portland pieces tears streaming down his face
01:00:28michael your daughter made it
01:00:34annie how about turning this exhibition into a second season of the documentary
01:00:40we can talk about it i told you you were never just a translator
01:00:46louie anderson stood in the corner of the exhibition hall staying away from the front
01:00:50he was wearing a black suit hands in my pockets watching me give interviews under the spotlight
01:00:54that look in his eyes you are someone i didn't want to miss
01:01:03mrs smith you are fluent in eight languages but i heard you spent three years as a junior translator at
01:01:08a trading company making only 24 000 a year
01:01:14yes why did you hide your abilities because i was running away every language was tied to memories of my
01:01:21parents
01:01:22i thought if i hid them away it would stop hurting but later i realized that languages do not disappear
01:01:27just because you refuse to speak them they stay in your blood waiting for you to speak what finally made
01:01:33you decide to speak up a letter my father wrote it he said if i have the ability to make
01:01:39a difference
01:01:40i should use it on the second day of the exhibition someone unexpected showed up
01:01:46scarlet
01:01:48what are you doing here i saw it on the news your father collected these yes
01:01:56they're beautiful annie i owe you an apology you do not have to let me speak i was jealous of
01:02:03you
01:02:04i had been jealous since the first time you opened your mouth and spoke german
01:02:08it took me seven years to climb up to team leader but you were already above me without even trying
01:02:12i
01:02:12i could not accept that so you chose to frame me yes and then i paid the price after i
01:02:18left white
01:02:19global that german contracted the translation company you heard about it right i did
01:02:24because you used to correct my work i never knew what my real level was once you were not there
01:02:27anymore i finally realized starlet your hard work was real those seven years of german were not
01:02:31wasted either you just chose the wrong direction at certain moments you don't hate me no the
01:02:37forged screenshots are in the past now you really are different from before back then i could not even face
01:02:43myself the exhibition is wonderful your father must be very happy
01:02:52the exhibition ran for two months across five cities with more than 120 000 visitors in total
01:03:06after the closing ceremony louis anderson found me on the hotel terrace tired
01:03:13a little five cities two months you handled all the narration translation work across every language
01:03:17by yourself i am used to it do not get used to carrying everything alone this is not a proposal
01:03:25so don't be nervous
01:03:28it's custom made because you said your father once told you that you were the bridge
01:03:34this there is a line engraved on the bridge it has the word bridge engraved in nine languages
01:03:40the ninth language is russian i studied for three months just to learn one word the cairo night wind
01:03:46swept across the terrace in the distance the banks of the nile were bright with lights
01:03:53willie anderson you really are what
01:03:57too good at this only with you
01:04:07five years later crownwell's international cultural exchange department had become an industry denmark
01:04:12it ran more than 20 cross-cultural projects every year with revenue exceeding 200 million
01:04:18revenue is up another 30 percent this year
01:04:21your salary should be adjusted this year to how much you tell me one dollar
01:04:29seriously put the rest into a scholarship to support young people studying languages name it after my
01:04:34parents the michael smith and evelyn chen language scholarship how do you know my mother's name i'm your
01:04:40husband how could i not know your mother's name outside the window was the skyline of the whole
01:04:46city it was no longer that rental apartment with the broken heating but sometimes i still think of
01:04:50that window and the nights when i crouched there eating soup back then i was fluent in eight languages
01:04:56made two thousand dollars a year and rejected a ten million dollar inheritance i hid myself in the
01:05:00deepest corner thinking that as long as i stayed silent it would not hurt in his letter my father wrote
01:05:05be brave enough to be brave enough to be yourself it took me a long time to understand that but
01:05:12luckily
01:05:13i did it
