Transcript

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 and shorter.

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.

00:00:41Everyone 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.

00:00:51And 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.

00:01:15Also, I have another question.

00:01:18Everyone here, who speaks German, will receive a 70% of Gehands-Erhöhung.

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?

00:01:43No.

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.

00:01:55Scarlett, 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.

00:02:07Anyway, 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.

00:02:21The 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!

00:02:34Stay 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?

00:02:4770%?

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 meaning.

00:02:55I 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.

00:03:07Anne, that crappy place you rent barely have working heating.

00:03:11Sometimes, 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?

00:03:15Ellen caught me reading a French book in the pantry last year.

00:03:19I told her I'd studied a little bit French.

00:03:22She'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.

00:03:40You're going to suffer with that kind of personality sooner or later.

00:03:45Alright.

00:03:52Guter Schaßzug, oder?

00:03:53Sir, schließlich 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 motivasiere Schrey halte.

00:04:05Sehr brillant, Mr. White.

00:04:08Abross.

00:04:09Wen schäden wir nächste Woche für das Projekt der Crown Bell Group?

00:04:14Scarlett.

00:04:16Sie 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 hinangefrogen.

00:04:27Das sollte kein Problem sein.

00:04:28Scarlett kommt damit klar.

00:04:33Leute, auf Anderson Bell sollten wir diesmal nicht mitnehmen.

00:04:36Sie könnten das Meeting ruinieren.

00:04:40Sie wussten nicht, dass ich sie verstehen.

00:04:41Sie wussten, dass ich nur ein kleiner Translator bin.

00:04:46Aber das ist nur zu erwarten.

00:04:47Ich habe nicht gezeigt, was ich kann, wie ich auch.

00:04:49Annie, sende mir die Proof-Red-Version des letzten Wochen's Contracts morgen.

00:04:55Ja, Mr. White.

00:05:01Ich habe die Proof-Red-Version des letzten Wochen auf Brian White, den nächsten Tag.

00:05:05Es war ein 30,000-Word-Spanisch-Contrakt.

00:05:08Und ich habe 47 Fehler gemacht in der Original-Translator.

00:05:12Die Original-Translatorin war Scarlett.

00:05:14Aber mein Name würde niemals auf der Proof-Red-Version sein.

00:05:16Es würde nur die Translator-Departement auf der Übersetzung zeigen.

00:05:20Scarlett nie wusste, dass ihre Translatorin waren mir korrekt.

00:05:22Sie wusste, dass sie der Topf war.

00:05:27Annie, hörst du?

00:05:28Hearst du?

00:05:29Scarlett wird die Crownwell Internationalen verletzt.

00:05:32Ich habe gehört.

00:05:34Do you know Präsident Andersen von Crownwell?

00:05:40Wer?

00:05:44Louis Andersen, 32 Jahre alt,

00:05:46Präsident von Crownwell International Commerce Group, Liedian.

00:05:49Er ist 98th in der letzten Jahrhundert 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 the meeting room.

00:05:58What does that have to do with me?

00:06:00You don't think Scarlett 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.

00:06:12Julian 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.

00:06:21But the Arab team is out of the office today,

00:06:23so Alex would casually dump it on me.

00:06:26Annie, 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.

00:06:33But in fact, I lived in Saudi Arabia for two years.

00:06:36Arabic 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 Lowe

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,

00:07:14and I'm your leader.

00:07:15Is there a problem with me assigning you work?

00:07:17She 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

00:07:29for the Crownwell project.

00:07:30You don't need to attend.

00:07:32I know.

00:07:33You're only responsible for basic food feeding.

00:07:35A major project like this

00:07:36isn't something you get to be part of.

00:07:38I know.

00:07:46I heard everything in the pantry.

00:07:47Who does she think she is talking to you like that?

00:07:49What does she mean by not something

00:07:50you get to be part of?

00:07:51I'm used to it.

00:07:52Can't you just clap back for once?

00:07:54And then what?

00:07:55She'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.

00:08:05What exactly are you afraid of, Annie?

00:08:07What am I afraid of?

00:08:09I don't know either.

00:08:10Maybe I'm afraid of being noticed.

00:08:12Afraid that people will dig into my past

00:08:14and will look at me with pity.

00:08:16Or maybe I'm just too tired to care.

00:08:23An annual salary of $24,000.

00:08:26In this city, after rent and utilities,

00:08:29there isn't much left.

00:08:36Hello?

00:08:37Hello.

00:08:38Am 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.

00:08:52Mrs. 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.

00:09:05The Translation Department had a meeting on a Monday morning.

00:09:07I wasn't told to attend,

00:09:09but my desk was right next to the meeting room.

00:09:11I 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.

00:09:19This time we're discussing a supply chain partnership

00:09:21for the Middle East market.

00:09:22Anything involving Arabic will be handled by their side.

00:09:25We only need to cover the German communication.

00:09:26Can you handle that?

00:09:28Of course.

00:09:28I studied in Germany for three years.

00:09:30The 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 in Germany has one fatal habit.

00:09:41She relies too much on literal translation,

00:09:43and often misses the level of formality required

00:09:45in 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 tariff policies and the risk points.

00:10:04All she had to do was a glance through,

00:10:05and she was exactly to expect.

00:10:06It'll do.

00:10:12Scarlett!

00:10:13Scarlett!

00:10:14He rarely came down here in person.

00:10:17Scarlett, Crown will move the schedule up.

00:10:20Anderson will be here tomorrow afternoon.

00:10:22Are you ready?

00:10:22Moved up?

00:10:25I've gone through all the materials.

00:10:27No problem.

00:10:28Good.

00:10:29Bring someone with you tomorrow for on-site interpretation support.

00:10:32I'll take Zach.

00:10:33His German is decent, too.

00:10:34Zach is still on leave.

00:10:39Annie!

00:10:40You come with me tomorrow.

00:10:41Me?

00:10:41I only speak Spanish.

00:10:43You'll just take notes and serve coffee.

00:10:45I'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 Willian's 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 Elin a message.

00:11:01I will go to Crown Will tomorrow.

00:11:03Scarlett is taking you?

00:11:04Doesn't she always sit down on you?

00:11:06As the errand girl.

00:11:07You...

00:11:08You just agreed to that?

00:11:09What else am I supposed to do?

00:11:11Annie!

00:11:12Annie!

00:11:14Annie!

00:11:15Annie!

00:11:16Annie!

00:11:23Are you from White Global?

00:11:24Yes.

00:11:25I'm Scarlett, team leader of the translation department.

00:11:28This is my assistant, Annie.

00:11:29Oh, she called me assistant.

00:11:31I didn't correct her.

00:11:35Please wait.

00:11:36President Alexandring is still in a meeting.

00:11:39Scarlett reapplied her lipstick twice

00:11:40and adjusted her hair three separate times

00:11:42in just these 15 minutes.

00:11:44Annie, when we go in,

00:11:45just sit on the side and take notes.

00:11:47Don't speak unless you're asked.

00:11:48Got it?

00:11:49Got it.

00:11:49Also, when you address Mr. Anderson,

00:11:52be formal and respectful.

00:11:54Don't let your eyes wander.

00:11:56People at his level hate unprofessional behavior.

00:11:59Okay.

00:12:02Miss Scarlett,

00:12:03President Anderson will see you now.

00:12:1632 years old,

00:12:18about six foot one,

00:12:19gray suit,

00:12:19no 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.

00:12:29Two other people were sitting next to him.

00:12:30The legal director

00:12:31and a lady who looked very, very young.

00:12:33A translation device

00:12:34sat in front of her.

00:12:39In the last episode,

00:12:41that you're underneath us

00:12:42for yesterday's day,

00:12:43was at the right tariff angle

00:12:44of the standards

00:12:45from 2000,

00:12:472001.

00:12:47We have now

00:12:482024.

00:12:49What should 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.

00:13:03I mean...

00:13:04I have asked German,

00:13:05so please answer it in German.

00:13:07I don't want to spend time with the subtitles.

00:13:11That was only a first end.

00:13:14We will update the data.

00:13:16Update?

00:13:17Has anyone in their key

00:13:19with the new software

00:13:19for the import

00:13:20from the EGN

00:13:21in the 60s

00:13:21of 2020

00:13:22first checked?

00:13:22The changes in Article D3 and 7

00:13:24are directly 15%

00:13:25of their support players.

00:13:26Did you know that?

00:13:28She didn't know.

00:13:30But I did.

00:13:31Because that policy change

00:13:32was mentioned

00:13:33in the background materials.

00:13:34I had specifically marked it

00:13:36in the summary.

00:13:37But Scarlett obviously

00:13:38hadn't read it carefully.

00:13:41She said...

00:13:42I have to do it

00:13:43first in the internal

00:13:44to do it.

00:14:11The legal director beside Anderson

00:14:13gave a slight shake of his head.

00:14:15The meaning was obvious.

00:14:17This negotiation

00:14:18was about to fall through.

00:14:25Herr Präsident Anderson,

00:14:26ich bette vielmals

00:14:27um Entschuldung.

00:14:29Wenn das das Liebe

00:14:30von White Glover ist,

00:14:31werde ich in Erwengung füllen

00:14:32zu einem anderen Partner

00:14:33zu schelten.

00:14:33My hands froze

00:14:34above the keyboard.

00:14:35Two voices were speaking

00:14:36in my head.

00:14:37It's none of your concern.

00:14:38You're just here to fetch

00:14:39coffee and serve drinks.

00:14:40This is Whitworth

00:14:41with Globals biggest deal

00:14:42of the year.

00:14:42If we lose it,

00:14:43there'll probably be

00:14:43layoffs by the end of the year.

00:14:45And junior translators

00:14:45like me will be

00:14:46first on the chopping block.

00:14:58President Anderson,

00:14:59geben Sie uns bitte

00:15:00noch fünf Minuten.

00:15:14And you are?

00:15:16I'm Annie,

00:15:18junior translator

00:15:19at Whitmore Global.

00:15:21Junior translator?

00:15:22Yes.

00:15:23The one who always

00:15:58Louis Andersons

00:15:59Legal Director

00:15:59lowered his head

00:16:00and flipped through

00:16:01the files

00:16:01as if he was checking

00:16:03whether I was right.

00:16:04Where did you learn German?

00:16:05I lived in Berlin

00:16:06for a while.

00:16:07Your honorifices

00:16:08are very precise.

00:16:10And you said

00:16:10you were the junior level?

00:16:11Yes.

00:16:12Your five minutes are up,

00:16:14but I can give you

00:16:14ten more

00:16:15on one condition.

00:16:17From here on,

00:16:18you meet the negotiation.

00:16:21She can't...

00:16:22I said she leads

00:16:24or you can lead

00:16:25right now.

00:16:28Scarlett,

00:16:29should I take over?

00:16:32Then let's restart

00:16:33from the first part

00:16:34of the proposal.

00:16:35This wasn't because

00:16:35I had prepared in advance.

00:16:37While sorting that

00:16:3750 pages materials

00:16:38I for Scarlett,

00:16:39I had memorized

00:16:40every word.

00:16:41Plus,

00:16:41I grew up

00:16:41in a diplomatic family.

00:16:43The basics of

00:16:43international trade

00:16:44are as natural to me

00:16:45as breathing.

00:16:54You speak Arabic, too?

00:16:57A little.

00:17:02The original Japanese

00:17:03number is J.K.K.T.

00:17:050427.

00:17:06I would not

00:17:07choose the nearest

00:17:08order,

00:17:09but the

00:17:09solution with

00:17:10the smallest

00:17:10sensoroscope.

00:17:14The framework

00:17:14works.

00:17:15I'll have my

00:17:16legal team

00:17:16follow up

00:17:17with you

00:17:17on the details.

00:17:19The hand

00:17:19was warm

00:17:20and strong

00:17:20and the grip

00:17:21was just right.

00:17:22Annie, right?

00:17:23Yes.

00:17:24You're wasted

00:17:25in the junior level.

00:17:31You lied

00:17:31to everyone!

00:17:33What?

00:17:34You said

00:17:35you only spoke

00:17:35Spanish.

00:17:41I do

00:17:41mainly work

00:17:42in Spanish.

00:17:43What you did

00:17:44in there today,

00:17:44that's what you

00:17:44call mainly

00:17:45working in Spanish.

00:17:46Your German

00:17:47is better

00:17:47than mine.

00:17:48Where did

00:17:48that Arab

00:17:49come from?

00:17:49It's not

00:17:49even on your

00:17:50resume.

00:17:53Scarlett,

00:17:53the project

00:17:54was saved,

00:17:54wasn't it?

00:17:55You did

00:17:55this on

00:17:56purpose!

00:17:56You hid

00:17:57your skill

00:17:57just waiting

00:17:58for a chance

00:17:59like this

00:17:59to show off!

00:18:01What do you

00:18:02think will happen

00:18:02just because

00:18:03you impressed

00:18:03Louis Anderson

00:18:04once?

00:18:05When we're

00:18:05back at the

00:18:06company,

00:18:06you're still

00:18:07just that

00:18:07junior translator.

00:18:09Annie,

00:18:09just you wait.

00:18:17suddenly I

00:18:18felt a little

00:18:18tired.

00:18:21How did the

00:18:21negotiation go?

00:18:22Did Scarlett

00:18:23crash and burn?

00:18:24The project

00:18:24was saved.

00:18:25How was it

00:18:26saved?

00:18:26Wasn't she...

00:18:26Wait,

00:18:27was it you?

00:18:28I'll tell you

00:18:29when I get

00:18:29back.

00:18:30Annie,

00:18:30you finally

00:18:31made a move!

00:18:33Standing at

00:18:34the exit

00:18:34of the

00:18:35underground

00:18:35garage,

00:18:36I felt

00:18:36the autumn

00:18:37wind blowing

00:18:37in.

00:18:38It was a bit

00:18:38cold.

00:18:39I didn't

00:18:40want to

00:18:40show off.

00:18:41I really

00:18:42didn't.

00:18:42But I

00:18:43didn't want

00:18:43to lose

00:18:43my job

00:18:44either.

00:18:53Mr. White,

00:18:54Annie spoke

00:18:55out of turn

00:18:55during negotiation

00:18:56and completely

00:18:57ignored the

00:18:57company hierarchy.

00:18:58Was the

00:18:59project saved?

00:19:00Yes,

00:19:00but that was...

00:19:01And that's

00:19:01all that

00:19:01matters.

00:19:02The Crown

00:19:02Will deal

00:19:03is worth

00:19:03$40 million.

00:19:04If it had

00:19:04fallen through

00:19:05yesterday,

00:19:05the entire

00:19:06translation

00:19:06department

00:19:07could have

00:19:07packed up.

00:19:10One look

00:19:10at her face

00:19:11and I knew

00:19:12this wasn't

00:19:12over.

00:19:18Annie,

00:19:19how good

00:19:20is your

00:19:20German

00:19:31translator like

00:19:32the starting

00:19:32salary would

00:19:33be at least

00:19:33$96,000 a

00:19:35I have no

00:19:35issues with

00:21:32Hello?

00:21:35This is

00:21:40I read the

00:21:4062 pages you

00:21:42Was there

00:21:43any problem?

00:21:43No problem

00:21:44at all.

00:21:45It's the most

00:21:45accurate German

00:21:46business translation

00:21:47I've seen in the

00:21:47past three

00:21:48years.

00:21:50You're not

00:21:50someone who

00:21:50belongs in a

00:21:51junior position.

00:21:52That is my

00:21:52current position.

00:21:53I know.

00:21:54That's why I'm

00:21:55curious.

00:21:55Crownwell has an

00:21:56internal meeting

00:21:57tomorrow afternoon.

00:21:58It involves

00:21:58partner selection

00:21:59for the

00:21:59Middle Eastern

00:21:59market.

00:22:00I need an

00:22:00Arabic-speaking

00:22:01interpreter there.

00:22:02This should

00:22:02go through

00:22:03the company.

00:22:03I know,

00:22:04but I'm

00:22:04asking you

00:22:05directly.

00:22:06Would you

00:22:06like to

00:22:06come?

00:22:07Okay,

00:22:08I will.

00:22:10Annie,

00:22:11maybe you're

00:22:11going to be

00:22:12exposed after

00:22:12all.

00:22:13I knew this

00:22:13day would

00:22:13come eventually,

00:22:15but I just

00:22:15didn't expect

00:22:16it to come

00:22:16this soon.

00:22:20They were

00:22:20from a

00:22:21construction

00:22:21materials

00:22:21group in

00:22:22the UAE.

00:22:23The man

00:22:23leading the

00:22:23meeting looked

00:22:24about 50,

00:22:24wearing a

00:22:25white robe

00:22:25with a

00:22:25Syrian

00:22:25expression.

00:22:26A young

00:22:27Arab woman

00:22:27sat beside

00:22:28him should

00:22:28be his

00:22:28interpreter.

00:22:30You're here.

00:22:31Today I may

00:22:32need you to

00:22:32do an

00:22:32interpretation

00:22:33between

00:22:33Eric and

00:22:34English.

00:22:35Okay.

00:22:35If Charlotte

00:22:36were here,

00:22:36she would

00:22:36probably ask,

00:22:37where did

00:22:37your

00:22:37ab look even

00:22:38come from?

00:22:38The answer

00:22:39is I lived

00:22:39in Cairo for

00:22:40a year and

00:22:40a half.

00:22:41During that

00:22:41time,

00:22:41my roommate

00:22:42was even

00:22:42an Egyptian

00:22:42diplomat's

00:22:43daughter.

00:22:47Chris,

00:22:48it's

00:22:49Standard

00:22:50procedure,

00:22:5115 minutes

00:22:51passed.

00:22:57I lowered

00:22:59my head

00:23:00in height

00:23:00as if

00:23:01I were

00:23:01taking notes.

00:23:02Then I

00:23:02turned my

00:23:02laptop

00:23:02slightly

00:23:03so Louie

00:23:03Anderson

00:23:03could see

00:23:04the

00:23:04storm

00:23:04line

00:23:04in

00:23:06work.

00:23:06They'll

00:23:06switch

00:23:07to

00:23:08Louie

00:23:08Anderson's

00:23:08eyes

00:23:08stayed

00:23:09on the

00:23:09screen

00:23:09for one

00:23:10second.

00:23:11His

00:23:11expression

00:23:11didn't

00:23:12change

00:23:12at all.

00:26:24It hasn't

00:26:29There are

00:26:30two things

00:26:30to discuss

00:26:31today.

00:26:31First,

00:26:32the

00:26:33Crownwell

00:26:33Project

00:26:34has finished

00:26:34the initial

00:26:35handover.

00:26:36Mr. Anderson

00:26:36is very

00:26:37satisfied with

00:26:38our

00:26:38translation

00:26:40project

00:26:41will be

00:26:41issued

00:26:41next

00:26:42month.

00:26:44Second,

00:26:45regarding

00:26:46the update

00:26:46of employee

00:26:47profiles.

00:26:52Mr. White,

00:26:53I have a

00:26:53question.

00:26:55Go ahead.

00:26:56If an

00:26:56employee

00:26:57deliberately

00:26:57hides

00:26:58their skills

00:26:58and causes

00:26:59the company

00:26:59to make

00:27:00the mistakes

00:27:00in allocation

00:27:01human resources,

00:27:02does that

00:27:03count as a

00:27:03violation?

00:27:10Then let

00:27:11me give

00:27:11an example.

00:27:12Say an

00:27:12employee only

00:27:13lists Spanish

00:27:13on her

00:27:13profile,

00:27:14but in

00:27:14fact she

00:27:14is fluent

00:27:15in multiple

00:27:15languages.

00:27:16The company

00:27:16assigns her

00:27:16position and

00:27:17salary according

00:27:17on the

00:27:18standard for

00:27:18a Spanish

00:27:18translator,

00:27:19and she

00:27:19never raises

00:27:20any objection.

00:27:21Over

00:27:21three years

00:27:21without

00:27:21knowing the

00:27:22truth,

00:27:22the company

00:27:23loses out

00:27:23on a huge

00:27:24amount of

00:27:24usable human

00:27:24resources.

00:27:25This

00:27:25kind of

00:33:58There's

00:33:59Scarlett

00:34:12Scarlett?

00:34:13What

00:34:13about

00:34:15Nothing.

00:34:21Annie,

00:34:22Scarlett

00:34:22and I

00:34:22don't have

00:34:22the kind

00:34:23of relationship

00:34:23you might

00:34:23be thinking

00:34:24of.

00:34:24She

00:34:25got

00:34:25promoted

00:34:26to

00:34:26team

00:34:26lead

00:34:26because

00:34:26she

00:34:26had

00:34:27been

00:34:27here

00:34:27long

00:34:27enough

00:34:27and

00:34:27knew

00:34:27the

00:34:28business

00:34:28well.

00:34:29That's

00:34:30all.

00:34:32I

00:34:33thought

00:34:33of the

00:34:3317

00:34:33hotel

00:34:34re-inforcing

00:34:34claims

00:34:35Elan had

00:34:35mentioned.

00:34:36Human

00:34:36nature

00:34:37really

00:34:37is

00:34:37an

00:34:38interesting

00:34:38thing.

00:34:41The

00:34:42way people

00:34:42looked at

00:34:43me was

00:34:43strange.

00:34:44It

00:34:44wasn't

00:34:44admiration

00:34:45or envy.

00:34:46It

00:34:46was more

00:34:46like

00:34:46avoidance.

00:34:48Something

00:34:48happened.

00:34:49What

00:34:50happened?

00:34:51Scarlett

00:34:51reported

00:34:51you to

00:34:52Brian

00:34:52White?

00:34:53Reported

00:34:53me for

00:34:53what?

00:34:54She

00:34:54said you

00:34:54privately

00:34:55leakered

00:34:55White

00:34:55Global's

00:34:56internal

00:34:56pricing

00:34:56strategy

00:34:57to

00:34:57Crownweck

00:34:57while you

00:34:58were

00:34:58translating

00:34:58for them.

00:34:59That's a

00:34:59false

00:34:59accusation.

00:35:00I know.

00:35:01But she

00:35:01has

00:35:02evidence.

00:35:02What

00:35:03evidence?

00:35:03She

00:35:03said she

00:35:04found a

00:35:04file on

00:35:04your

00:35:04computer.

00:35:06Screenshots of a chat

00:35:06between you and

00:35:07Louie Anderson's

00:35:08assistant, Frank Young.

00:35:09The chat mentions

00:35:10White Global's

00:35:11internal pricing.

00:35:12There is no such

00:35:13file on my

00:35:13computer.

00:35:14She

00:35:14says there

00:35:15is.

00:35:15And she

00:35:16already showed it

00:35:16to Brian

00:35:17White.

00:35:17Brian wants you

00:35:18in his office

00:35:18tomorrow morning to

00:35:19explain yourself.

00:35:21That so-called

00:35:22chat record is

00:35:23fake.

00:35:24I sneaked a look

00:35:25at it.

00:35:25The chat time was

00:35:26last Wednesday at

00:35:272 p.m., but you

00:35:28were at the

00:35:29department meeting

00:35:29last Wednesday

00:35:30afternoon.

00:35:30Everyone can prove

00:35:31it.

00:35:31Then how did she

00:35:32she edited the

00:35:33time in the

00:35:33chat, photoshopped

00:35:35it, but she

00:35:36forgot one thing.

00:35:37There's a battery

00:35:38indicator in the

00:35:38top right corner of

00:35:39the screenshot.

00:35:40That battery

00:35:40display doesn't

00:35:40match your phone

00:35:41model.

00:35:42You use a

00:35:42Samsung.

00:35:43That screenshot

00:35:43is from an

00:35:44iPhone.

00:35:47Ellen, I need

00:35:47you to do me a

00:35:48favor.

00:35:49Name it.

00:35:49You're in

00:35:50administration.

00:35:51Can you pull

00:35:52the attendance

00:35:53records and

00:35:53meeting room usage

00:35:54records from last

00:35:55Wednesday afternoon?

00:35:56Yes, pull them.

00:35:57Also, Scarlett

00:35:58reimbursement records,

00:35:59the 17 hotel ones.

00:36:00Do you have them?

00:36:01I do.

00:36:02Are you finally

00:36:02going to use them?

00:36:03Not to attack her,

00:36:04but to protect myself.

00:36:06If she comes after

00:36:06me, I need Brian

00:36:07White to know her

00:36:08credibility has

00:36:08problem.

00:36:09Got it.

00:36:20Every file had a

00:36:22timestamp and

00:36:22sending record.

00:36:23My real chat

00:36:24history with Frankie

00:36:25on those all on

00:36:26teams, with server

00:36:27backups.

00:36:29Scarlett could

00:36:30fake screenshots,

00:36:30but she couldn't

00:36:32change server data.

00:36:41I heard you were

00:36:42reported.

00:36:44News travels fast.

00:36:45Frank told me.

00:36:46Do you need help?

00:36:47No.

00:36:48I can handle it

00:36:49myself.

00:36:50Are you sure?

00:36:53Yes.

00:36:54Fine.

00:36:54If you can't handle it,

00:36:55just tell me.

00:36:58It won't.

00:37:00It won't.

00:37:04Annie.

00:37:06Scarlett reported that

00:37:08you privately leaked our

00:37:09pricing strategy to

00:37:10Crownwell while you were

00:37:11translating for them.

00:37:12These screenshots are the

00:37:14evidence she provided.

00:37:15Is there anything you want

00:37:16to say?

00:37:16It was exactly as Aline had

00:37:18described.

00:37:18My profile picture, my

00:37:20name, a conversation with

00:37:21Frank Young.

00:37:22The content did involve

00:37:23White Global's pricing, but

00:37:25the wording was extremely

00:37:26unnatural, like it had been

00:37:27made up by someone who

00:37:28didn't understand formal

00:37:29business conversation.

00:37:30These screenshots are fake.

00:37:33Of course you would say

00:37:34that.

00:37:35I can prove it.

00:37:37This is my full chat

00:37:39history with Frank Young.

00:37:40It has server backups and

00:37:42timestamps.

00:37:43Please compare them.

00:37:45The times don't match.

00:37:47The screenshot Scarlett

00:37:48provided show that the

00:37:49conversation happened last

00:37:50Wednesday at 2 p.m.

00:37:52But the team's record show

00:37:53that Annie and Frank Young

00:37:54had no conversation at that

00:37:56time.

00:37:57She could have deleted

00:37:57Teams has server backups.

00:37:59Even if an employee deletes

00:38:00the chat on their eye, the

00:38:01server still keeps it.

00:38:02Also, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

00:38:03last Wednesday, I was

00:38:04attending the department

00:38:05meeting in the company.

00:38:06The attendance and meeting

00:38:06room booking records can

00:38:07prove it.

00:38:08One more thing.

00:38:09This screenshot is from an

00:38:10iOS interface.

00:38:11I use Android.

00:38:13Scarlett, your phone is

00:38:14an iPhone, isn't it?

00:38:14That proves nothing.

00:38:16Maybe you change phone.

00:38:17I've been here for three

00:38:18years.

00:38:19The device binding records

00:38:20from IT show I have

00:38:22never used an iPhone.

00:38:27Scarlett, where did these

00:38:28screenshots come from?

00:38:30I found them on her

00:38:31computer.

00:38:32After you went through my

00:38:33computer last week, I

00:38:35reset the password.

00:38:37These screenshots were never

00:38:38on my computer.

00:38:41You never saw these

00:38:42snapshots on my computer.

00:38:43because they never existed

00:38:45in the first place.

00:38:46You made them yourself.

00:38:50Scarlett, do you have

00:38:50anything else to explain?

00:38:53Mr. Wood, say something.

00:38:56Scarlett, you went too far

00:38:57this time.

00:38:59Faking evidence to falsely

00:39:01accuse a colleague is a

00:39:01serious violation.

00:39:03Scarlett, your position as

00:39:04the department leader is

00:39:04revoked immediately.

00:39:05Mr. White?

00:39:06Also, your year-end

00:39:06performance rating will be

00:39:07downgraded by one level.

00:39:08If anything like this

00:39:09happens again, your

00:39:10employment will be

00:39:10terminated immediately.

00:39:11Annie, are you happy now?

00:39:13Scarlett, from beginning

00:39:14to end, you were the one

00:39:14causing trouble for me.

00:39:15I never went after you

00:39:16first.

00:39:17Because your very existence

00:39:18is a quotation.

00:39:19You speak eight language

00:39:20and you hid it for three

00:39:21years.

00:39:21You made my seven years

00:39:23of hard work look like a

00:39:24joke.

00:39:26On the surface, no one in

00:39:28the translation department

00:39:29said much.

00:39:30But the group chat had

00:39:31completely blown up.

00:39:33She should have been

00:39:33removed ages ago.

00:39:35Her translation skills

00:39:36were just average.

00:39:37She only got there

00:39:38through connections.

00:39:38You guys didn't know?

00:39:40Every translation she

00:39:41submitted had been

00:39:42corrected by Annie.

00:39:43What?

00:39:44I am serious.

00:39:45I have seen the

00:39:46proof-peating records.

00:39:47Then how many have

00:39:48Annie corrected over the

00:39:49past three years?

00:39:50A conservative estimate?

00:39:51Over a hundred.

00:40:01Excuse me.

00:40:03Which one of you is Annie?

00:40:05Me.

00:40:06Hello.

00:40:07I am Victoria Hayes, a

00:40:09producer at Harbor Light

00:40:10Media.

00:40:10We are preparing a large

00:40:12scale international

00:40:12documentary project and we

00:40:14need a multi-linguished

00:40:15translation consultant.

00:40:16How did you find me?

00:40:18Industry recommendation.

00:40:19The Crownwell project and

00:40:20the French brand project you

00:40:21worked on recently have

00:40:22attracted some attention in

00:40:23the field.

00:40:24Harbor Light Media, a top

00:40:26teen production company.

00:40:27Mrs. Hayes, what kind of

00:40:28project is it exactly?

00:40:29A documentary about the

00:40:30Strait of Barol and global

00:40:31trade.

00:40:31We need simultaneous

00:40:32interpretation and

00:40:33subtitle proof-feeding

00:40:34across five languages,

00:40:36English, French, Italian,

00:40:37Spanish, and Arabic.

00:40:38We contacted three

00:40:39translation companies, but

00:40:41none of them could provide

00:40:42one person who covers all

00:40:43five languages.

00:40:45Then someone told me that

00:40:46White Global has a girl

00:40:47who speaks eight languages.

00:40:49Who told you that?

00:40:50Louis Anderson.

00:40:50He is one of the investors

00:40:52in this project.

00:40:53Louis Anderson again.

00:40:54What is the consulting fee

00:40:55for this project?

00:40:56$50,000 a month.

00:40:57The estimated period is

00:40:58three months.

00:40:59$150,000.

00:41:00That is about six years of

00:41:01my salary at White Global.

00:41:03If you take it, you will

00:41:05need to travel for two months,

00:41:06the Middle East and Europe.

00:41:14A bank account in Zurich, a

00:41:16property in Munich, and a

00:41:18small apartment in the

00:41:1916th compartment of Paris.

00:41:20The total value was close

00:41:22to $10 million.

00:41:23Language was the thing my

00:41:25parents loved most in their

00:41:26lives.

00:41:26My mother used to say,

00:41:28language is the best

00:41:30bridge.

00:41:31My father said, if you can

00:41:33understand a person in their

00:41:34mother tongue, you can

00:41:35understand their heart.

00:41:37They carved the languages of

00:41:39the world into my blood.

00:41:40Then they left.

00:41:41So I hid those languages

00:41:43away, along with my

00:41:44memories of them.

00:41:45Because every time I speak

00:41:46one of those languages, I

00:41:48remember what they looked

00:41:48like when they were by my

00:41:49side teaching it to me.

00:41:51German was in Berlin.

00:41:52My dad taught it to me,

00:41:54while taking me for ice

00:41:55cream in front of the

00:41:56Bransberg gate.

00:41:57French was in Paris.

00:41:59My mother read Malpussaud to

00:42:01me in the original French

00:42:02by the San.

00:42:03Arabic was in Cairo.

00:42:05The three of us were on a

00:42:06boat on the Nile.

00:42:08My father counted the stars

00:42:10while teaching me how to

00:42:11say Wahid, Ethwan, Flatham.

00:42:14Every language was a memory.

00:42:15And I didn't want to open

00:42:16those memories.

00:42:17But I...

00:42:23Has Mrs. Hayes from

00:42:24Harper Light reached out

00:42:25to you?

00:42:26She has.

00:42:27Why did you introduce this

00:42:29to me?

00:42:29Because you need to step

00:42:30out of it.

00:42:32You do not know me.

00:42:34I know your parents were

00:42:35diplomats.

00:42:35I know your background.

00:42:38You investigated me?

00:42:39Before I decide who to

00:42:40work with, I learn about

00:42:42them.

00:42:43Annie, your parents were

00:42:44remarkable people.

00:42:46You do not need to lock

00:42:47yourself in a corner just

00:42:48to escape their shadow.

00:42:51Go take a look at

00:42:52Harbor Light's project.

00:42:53The Strait of Jurada, the

00:42:54bridge between Europe and

00:42:55Africa.

00:42:56Maybe you should see it for

00:42:57yourself.

00:43:03Maybe he was right.

00:43:07Mr. White, I need to

00:43:09take two months off.

00:43:11For what?

00:43:12A documentary project

00:43:12wants me as a

00:43:13translation sultan.

00:43:14I need to travel to the

00:43:15Middle East and Europe.

00:43:16Two months?

00:43:17What about Crownwell's

00:43:18project?

00:43:19I have already completed

00:43:20all the translation drafts

00:43:21for Crownwell's second

00:43:22phase.

00:43:22The third phase will not

00:43:23start until three months

00:43:24later.

00:43:24Are you resigning?

00:43:25I will come back.

00:43:27Fine.

00:43:28I will approve two months

00:43:29for you.

00:43:33Scarlet?

00:43:34Scarlet had been

00:43:35transferred to

00:43:35administration as a clerk.

00:43:37The old shine was gone.

00:43:38You are going on a

00:43:38business trip?

00:43:39Mm-hmm.

00:43:41For how long?

00:43:41Two months.

00:43:42You know, when I joined the

00:43:43White seven years ago, I only

00:43:44spoke one language, too.

00:43:47Later, I learned French and

00:43:48Spanish while working here.

00:43:49I went from intern to the

00:43:50department leader.

00:43:52I thought I had worked

00:43:53really hard.

00:43:54You did work hard.

00:43:55But without doing anything,

00:43:56you were already above me.

00:43:57Eight languages.

00:43:58What gives you the right?

00:43:59My parents.

00:44:00They paid for it with their

00:44:02lives.

00:44:05That was the last time we

00:44:06spoke in this building.

00:44:07At the airport, I

00:44:08unexpectedly ran into

00:44:10someone.

00:44:10Louis Anderson.

00:44:12He was wearing casual

00:44:13clothes.

00:44:13It was the first time I had

00:44:14ever seen him out of a

00:44:15suit.

00:44:16Annie?

00:44:16What are you doing here?

00:44:17Crownwell has business in

00:44:19Dubai.

00:44:19What a coincidence.

00:44:20Yeah.

00:44:21What a coincidence.

00:44:26Business class is pretty

00:44:27empty.

00:44:27Why are you sitting here?

00:44:29I bought an economy ticket.

00:44:32About the inheritance your

00:44:33parents left you.

00:44:34You even know about that?

00:44:35The law firm has worked

00:44:36with us before.

00:44:37Attorney Wills once

00:44:38mentioned a client who

00:44:39refused to inherit an

00:44:39estate.

00:44:40The industry is only so

00:44:41big.

00:44:42So the whole world knows?

00:44:43Not the whole world.

00:44:44Just me caring about it.

00:44:45I turned to look at him

00:44:46and my heart skipped a

00:44:47beat.

00:44:47The sunlight in Dubai was

00:44:48completely different from

00:44:49back home.

00:44:50Dry, fierce, almost as if it

00:44:51could burn straight through

00:44:52your shadow.

00:44:53So you are Annie, the one

00:44:54who speaks eight languages?

00:44:55Yes.

00:44:56Let's do a test.

00:44:57Translate a section for me

00:44:58first.

00:44:58Martin handed me an Arabic

00:44:59interview outline.

00:45:00Okay, I'm Annie Smith, a

00:45:02junior translator at White

00:45:03Global Trading Co.

00:45:03V.

00:45:04I've been here three years

00:45:05and make $24,000 a year.

00:45:07Finally, she is the one.

00:45:09She is better than those

00:45:10three translation companies

00:45:12combined.

00:45:13Martin, she has not even

00:45:14given us a quote yet.

00:45:16No need, it's her.

00:45:18The first stop was the

00:45:19antique market in Old

00:45:20Dubai.

00:45:20The documentary was going

00:45:22to cover how the Strait of

00:45:23Hormos connects global

00:45:24trade.

00:45:24There was a Persian carpet

00:45:25shop here that had been

00:45:26open for 40 years, and the

00:45:28owner was a third-generation

00:45:30Iranian merchant.

00:45:48In Casablanca, I interviewed an

00:45:49historian in French.

00:46:00He said, on the Strait of

00:46:02Jowalli, shipping and trade are

00:46:03a way of having a dialogue.

00:46:04People may come from different

00:46:05backgrounds and speak different

00:46:06languages, but their hearts are

00:46:08connected.

00:46:09My voice, but their hearts, is a

00:46:10little halcy, because my father

00:46:11had said almost the exact same

00:46:12thing.

00:46:14Okay.

00:46:15That night, the team had dinner

00:46:17at the hotel.

00:46:19Annie, Mr. Anderson asked whether

00:46:21your work went smoothly today?

00:46:22It went smoothly.

00:46:23No need to worry about me.

00:46:24Mr. Anderson asked me to tell you

00:46:26that he is in the office on the

00:46:2758th floor of this hotel.

00:46:28If you need anything, contact him

00:46:30anytime.

00:46:33Hello?

00:46:35Have you eaten?

00:46:37I am eating now.

00:46:38The food here may not really

00:46:39suit our taste.

00:46:40If you want something else...

00:46:42Mr. Anderson, why are you

00:46:44telling me this?

00:46:45Because I care about you.

00:46:46I do not need your concern,

00:46:47thank you.

00:46:48Okay.

00:46:49No more concern.

00:46:50Good night.

00:46:51Over the next few weeks, we went

00:46:52a lot of places.

00:46:53On the flight from Istanbul to

00:46:54Cairo, I received an email.

00:46:56Sender, Scarlet, subject, no

00:46:58subject.

00:46:59After you left, they laid off the

00:47:00French team and the German team,

00:47:02because Brian White said you

00:47:03alone would enough.

00:47:05Seven people lost their jobs

00:47:06because of you.

00:47:07Are you happy now?

00:47:08I looked at the email and

00:47:09deleted it.

00:47:11Do not believe, Scarlet, the

00:47:12French and German teams were

00:47:13cut because they were already

00:47:14at the bottom in performance.

00:47:15It has nothing to do with you.

00:47:17She is just trying to mess with

00:47:18you.

00:47:18I know.

00:47:19Are you okay?

00:47:20I am fine.

00:47:25Cairo, the third stop of the

00:47:26documentary.

00:47:27I lived here for a while.

00:47:31When the plane landed, I looked

00:47:33out of that familiar city, and my

00:47:34heart started beating a little

00:47:35faster.

00:47:36In Cairo, the team was filming a

00:47:38section about the history of trade

00:47:40between the Middle East and

00:47:41Europe.

00:47:42They needed Arabic interpretation.

00:47:48The first time I was going to take the

00:47:50home of the Dominican Republic, this

00:47:52year, I was going to take the

00:47:54home of the Nuremberg in the

00:47:55river.

00:47:55Are you guys going to take the

00:47:57home of Cairo in Newocritus?

00:47:58The owner of this association was a diplomat. He died in five years ago.

00:48:02His tauter has the association as a heir, but he has never been here yet.

00:48:11Michael Smith. That was my father's name.

00:48:21After the interview, I sat alone on the streets of Cairo.

00:48:24I looked up at the sky. It was gray.

00:48:28I still remember the pistachio-flavored ice cream that year.

00:48:36Hello?

00:48:37You arrived in Cairo?

00:48:38Yes.

00:48:41What happened? Your voice sounds off.

00:48:44Nothing.

00:48:45I flew to Cairo this afternoon. If you have time...

00:48:48Why do you always show up wherever I am?

00:48:50Because Victoria has your itinerary.

00:48:52She is running a project I invested in, so I have the right to see...

00:48:55That is called stalking.

00:48:57That is called paying attention.

00:49:02There is a difference.

00:49:04The next afternoon, Louie Geranderson went with me to a private warehouse on the outskirts of Cairo.

00:49:09It was not big, but the temperature and humidity were carefully controlled.

00:49:13The kind of place used specifically to store antiques.

00:49:19After 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.

00:49:31An 18th century style Meissen porcelain vase.

00:49:34Purchased at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, 2008.

00:49:40With Annie.

00:49:422008.

00:49:43I was eight years old, in Istanbul with my dad.

00:49:45He took me to the Grand Bazaar.

00:49:47I kept asking for Turkish ice cream, and he said we would go after looking at that little stall.

00:49:51That stall was selling these old porcelain pieces.

00:49:54I did not remember any of it.

00:49:56But my dad did.

00:49:57For three years, I hid everything about them away.

00:49:59The languages, the inheritance, the memories.

00:50:02I thought as long as I did not touch any of it, I could pretend they had never left.

00:50:06Yeah.

00:50:07But they had always been with me.

00:50:09Your father was an extraordinary man.

00:50:13I know.

00:50:15Then you should become someone extraordinary too.

00:50:17Instead of hiding yourself in a position far below your level.

00:50:24That night, I called Attorney Wills.

00:50:27Attorney Wills, I will handle the inheritance.

00:50:30Miss Smith, finally.

00:50:31Donate the Xur accounts and the properties according to the original plan.

00:50:34But I am keeping the porcelain collection in Cairo.

00:50:37That is wonderful.

00:50:38I will arrange it right away.

00:50:39One more thing.

00:50:40Go ahead.

00:50:41Did my father leave any letter or document for me?

00:50:43Not a legal document.

00:50:44Something personal.

00:50:46Yes.

00:50:46A letter.

00:50:47He noted that it should be given to you when you came to collect the antiques.

00:50:49Send it to me.

00:50:51Attorney Wills sent the letter to my hotel.

00:50:54I sat in my room for ten minutes before finally working up the courage to open the letter.

00:50:59The letter was not long.

00:51:00Annie.

00:51:01When you see this letter your mother and I should no longer be by your side.

00:51:05Knowing your personality I guess you will probably run away for a while.

00:51:08You may seal away the memories connected to us.

00:51:10Along with all those languages.

00:51:12Maybe it is because every language is tied to us.

00:51:14One sentence in German will remind you of landscape in Berlin.

00:51:17One sentence in Arabic will remind you of the stars in Cairo.

00:51:20But Annie.

00:51:21Language is not a chain.

00:51:22Language is wings.

00:51:23Your mother spent her life building bridges.

00:51:25I spent mine planting seeds.

00:51:27You are that bridge of seed.

00:51:28Don't shrink yourself into the dark.

00:51:29You are exceptional.

00:51:30You are smart, gifted, and you should do what you are really good at.

00:51:32Trying to plant seeds in your own way.

00:51:34You are a pride.

00:51:35Mom and dad will always love you.

00:51:36There was a water stain on the paper.

00:51:38I did not know whether he left it when he wrote the letter or whether I had just left it.

00:51:42My dad was right. Language is not a chain. It is wings.

00:51:48In Madrid, I interviewed a flamenco dancer in Spanish.

00:51:52Every language has its own rhythm.

00:51:54Once your body remembers it, you will never forget it.

00:51:57She says every language has its own rhythm.

00:51:59I wrote that sentence down in my translation notes.

00:52:02The final stop was Venice.

00:52:04Omar, the Arab old bookseller.

00:52:07He had his own antique bookshop in the best spot on the busiest square in Venice.

00:52:12He was in his 60s and had lived in Italy for 30 years.

00:52:16And the story of him moved me the most.

00:52:18I arrived in Italy at 24 years and I didn't even know a word of the local language.

00:52:22I lost my way.

00:52:23I couldn't understand anything.

00:52:24I couldn't read anything.

00:52:25I couldn't even ask for instructions.

00:52:27I had to manage the gestures and speak with people.

00:52:30They thought I was a fool.

00:52:32What happened after that?

00:52:33I spent 10 years in talking Italian.

00:52:35And over 10 years in making sure that everyone in that way

00:52:37would call me Mr. Omar.

00:52:40La lingua non serve solo a tradizione.

00:52:42È il modo in cui si fa rispettere.

00:52:47Keep this part.

00:52:48Original audio with subtitles.

00:52:54Annie, your translation almost made me cry.

00:52:57In Venice, I completed the final three interviews in Italian.

00:53:01Two months, two continents, and eight languages.

00:53:04My dad was right.

00:53:05Language is not a chain.

00:53:07It is wings.

00:53:12The day I came back, it was late December.

00:53:17New York's winter was cold, but the air carried a familiar scent.

00:53:22Annie, the director position in the translation department is open.

00:53:26Mm-hmm.

00:53:26I want you to take it.

00:53:30What is the salary?

00:53:32$200,000.

00:53:34Okay.

00:53:34And just like that, in less than half a year,

00:53:37I went from a junior role to the director of the translation department.

00:53:42On the day I officially took the role, I stood in the meeting room

00:53:46and made a speech to the people in the translation department.

00:53:51I know many of you have questions about me.

00:53:55Why does someone who hid for three years suddenly get to become director?

00:53:59I am not going to explain.

00:54:01From today on, results will do the talking.

00:54:03I will personally proofread everyone's translation drafts.

00:54:06I have only one standard, accuracy.

00:54:08If you cannot do it, I will teach you.

00:54:10If you still cannot do it after that, you will be replaced.

00:54:13That is strict.

00:54:15Translation is not a word game.

00:54:16One wrong number in a trade contract can mean tens of millions in losses.

00:54:21Strictness is the bare minimum.

00:54:26Hello?

00:54:27Director Smith, congratulations on the promotion.

00:54:30$200,000?

00:54:31Mm-hmm.

00:54:32I offered $400,000 before.

00:54:34I know.

00:54:34Still not considering it?

00:54:35Not for now.

00:54:36But thank you for all your help.

00:54:37The offer of the Harborlight Media Project that day in Cairo.

00:54:40You don't need to thank me.

00:54:41Those weren't favors.

00:54:42Then what were they?

00:54:43Things I wanted to do.

00:54:44Are you free this weekend?

00:54:46For what?

00:54:48Dinner.

00:54:48No work, no projects.

00:54:51Okay.

00:54:51He was driving a very ordinary gray sedan.

00:54:54Not the kind of luxury car I had imagined.

00:54:56Your car doesn't really match your status.

00:54:58Cars are for driving, not for showing off.

00:55:00I'm taking you to a Japanese restaurant.

00:55:01It only has eight seats.

00:55:04You're paying?

00:55:05Obviously.

00:55:07This place has the best sashimi in the whole city.

00:55:10How do you know?

00:55:10I've tried every Japanese restaurant in the city.

00:55:14This man.

00:55:16Annie, I'm going to be direct.

00:55:18Since that day in Cairo, or maybe even earlier, since the first time you spoke German at Crownwell, I...

00:55:23You what?

00:55:24I knew you were someone I didn't want to miss.

00:55:26Right now, you're the only person in my mind.

00:55:30You really are way too...

00:55:32Too what?

00:55:32Too direct.

00:55:33You don't like it?

00:55:34I didn't say I didn't like it.

00:55:38That night, he drove me home.

00:55:40Downstairs, he said...

00:55:41I'm flying to South Korea for a business trip tomorrow.

00:55:44How long?

00:55:45A week.

00:55:46Okay.

00:55:47Will you miss me?

00:55:49No.

00:55:51Liar.

00:55:52Maybe a little.

00:56:02Over the next three months, many things happened at once.

00:56:05The Crownwell project successfully completed its third phase.

00:56:09And White Global brought in nearly 80 million dollars in revenue from it.

00:56:14When Brian White reviewed the monthly report, he said to Alex Wood...

00:56:18You should have put Annie on it from the start.

00:56:22After Scarlett resigned from White Global, she became a director at a small translation company.

00:56:27Three months later, that company faced its mass tariff compensation claim.

00:56:31A German contract had its tariff glosses mistranslated, causing the client to lose 20 million dollars.

00:56:37That translation was done by Scarlett herself.

00:56:40Her problem with German honoratis had finally been exposed on a bigger stage.

00:56:44When the news reached White Global, some people started mocking her in the group chat.

00:56:49I only said one thing.

00:56:51Stop talking about it.

00:56:54Everyone has to take responsibility for their own choices.

00:57:05Hello?

00:57:06Annie?

00:57:07It's Uncle George, your father's old colleague.

00:57:10Uncle George?

00:57:11I saw you on TV.

00:57:13Translation consultant in five languages.

00:57:15Annie, your parents must be so proud of you in heaven.

00:57:17Uncle George, how did you see...

00:57:19You look exactly like Michael.

00:57:21And your Arabic, that Cairo accent of your father's, I recognized it the moment I heard it.

00:57:25Annie, before your father passed away, he said something to me.

00:57:28What did he say?

00:57:30Annie will become a better bridge than I ever was.

00:57:33That night, Louie Anderson came back from South Korea and went straight to my building.

00:57:38Come out.

00:57:39For what?

00:57:41I want to take a walk with you.

00:57:45The street was cold, and the street lights stretched our shadows long across the pavement.

00:57:50I watched the documentary.

00:57:52How was it?

00:57:54Not good enough for your translation. The director was average.

00:57:57Don't say that about Martin.

00:57:59But your parts were excellent.

00:58:00You weren't just translating in the interview.

00:58:02You were carrying the emotion across.

00:58:05My father once said, if you understand someone's mother tongue, you can understand their heart.

00:58:09You did that.

00:58:12We walked for a long time until we reached a river.

00:58:15Annie.

00:58:16Yeah?

00:58:17Crownwell is setting up an international cultural exchange department next year.

00:58:20We'll focus on crossword cultural projects, documentaries, publishing, exhibitions, forums.

00:58:24I need someone to lead it.

00:58:25You're trying to poach me again.

00:58:26I'm not poaching you.

00:58:27I'm building a position for you.

00:58:29What do you mean?

00:58:30You're not meant to be just a translator.

00:58:32Translation is a tool, and you should use that tool to do something bigger.

00:58:36Your father's porcelain collection could become an exhibition about the history of global trade.

00:58:39Use your eight languages to tell that story to the world.

00:58:40What's the salary?

00:58:42Name your price.

00:58:43You don't think I'm taking advantage of you?

00:58:45Then let me take advantage of you.

00:58:47What?

00:58:48Be my girlfriend.

00:58:49No salary needed.

00:58:51Louie!

00:58:52I'm joking.

00:58:53One million dollars a year, plus project dividends.

00:58:55But the girlfriend part is serious too.

00:58:57The street light fell across his face, softening cold lines he usually carried.

00:59:04Two days later, I gave him my answer.

00:59:07I said yes to both.

00:59:08Brian White personally walked me to the entrance.

00:59:11Annie, you are the most underestimated employee in White Global's history.

00:59:15Mr. White, you also gave me the opportunity.

00:59:18You earned that opportunity yourself.

00:59:21Speaking of which, what I said in German at the annual meeting?

00:59:24The 70% raise?

00:59:25You understood it back then, didn't you?

00:59:28I did.

00:59:29Then why didn't you?

00:59:30Forget it.

00:59:31I wish you all the best.

00:59:34Three years.

00:59:35A $24,000 salary.

00:59:38A junior level position.

00:59:39I had repaid what needed to be repaid.

00:59:42It was time to start over.

00:59:48Crown Wells International Cultural Exchange Department was officially established.

00:59:53I became its first director.

00:59:55The first project is an international touring exhibition.

00:59:57The core exhibits are the 40 blubber antiques my father collected from around the world.

01:00:04The exhibition will open simultaneously in five cities.

01:00:07Berlin, Cairo, Istanbul, Paris, and New York.

01:00:12I'll personally translate the narration for each city into the local language.

01:00:17On opening day, more than 300 people came to the New York venue.

01:00:21Uncle George stood in the exhibition hall, looking at my father's handwritten labels on the Portland pieces, tears streaming down

01:00:27his 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.

01:00:42I told you, you were never just a translator.

01:00:47Louis 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.

01:00:55You 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?

01:01:13Yes.

01:01:14Why did you hide your abilities?

01:01:17Because I was running away.

01:01:19Every language was tied to memories of my parents.

01:01:22I thought if I hid them away, it would stop hurting.

01:01:25But later I realized that languages do not disappear just because you refuse to speak them.

01:01:29They stay in your blood, waiting for you to speak.

01:01:32What finally made you decide to speak up?

01:01:35A letter.

01:01:37My father wrote it.

01:01:38He said if I have the ability to make a difference, I should use it.

01:01:41On the second day of the exhibition, someone unexpected showed up.

01:01:46Scarlet.

01:01:48What are you doing here?

01:01:50I saw it on the news.

01:01:52Your father collected these?

01:01:54Yes.

01:01:56They are beautiful.

01:01:58Annie, I owe you an apology.

01:02:00You do not have to-

01:02:01Let me speak.

01:02:03I was jealous of you.

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 could not accept that.

01:02:14So you chose to frame me?

01:02:15Yes.

01:02:16And then I paid the price.

01:02:18After I left White Global, that German contract at the translation company, you heard about it, right?

01:02:22I did.

01:02:24Because you used to correct my work, I never knew what my real level was.

01:02:27Once you were not there anymore, I finally realized-

01:02:28Scarlet, your hard work was real.

01:02:30Those seven years of German were not wasted either.

01:02:32You just chose the wrong direction at certain moments.

01:02:34You don't hate me?

01:02:35No.

01:02:37The four screenshots are in the past now.

01:02:40You really are different from before.

01:02:42Back then, I could not even face myself.

01:02:45The exhibition is wonderful.

01:02:46Your father must be very happy.

01:02:52The exhibition ran for two months across five cities, with more than 120,000 visitors in total.

01:03:07After the closing ceremony, Louie Anderson found me on the Hotel Terrace.

01:03:11Tired?

01:03:13A little.

01:03:14Five cities, two months.

01:03:16You handled all the narration translation work across every language by yourself.

01:03:19I am used to it.

01:03:21Do not get used to carrying everything alone.

01:03:24This is not a proposal, so 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?

01:03:34There is a line engraved on the bridge.

01:03:37It has the word bridge engraved in nine languages.

01:03:40The ninth language is Russian.

01:03:42I studied for three months just to learn one word.

01:03:45The Cairo night wind swept across the terrace.

01:03:48In the distance, the banks of the Nile were bright with lights.

01:03:53Louie Anderson, you really are.

01:03:54What?

01:03:57Too good at this.

01:04:00Only with you.

01:04:08Five years later, Crownwell's international corporate exchange department had become an industry benchmark.

01:04:13It ran more than 20 cross-cultural projects every year, with revenue exceeding 200 million.

01:04:18Revenue is up another 30% this year.

01:04:21Your salary should be adjusted this year.

01:04:23To how much?

01:04:25Can you tell me?

01:04:26One dollar.

01:04:29Seriously?

01:04:30Put the rest into a scholarship to support young people studying languages.

01:04:34Name it after my parents.

01:04:35The Michael Smith and Evelyn Chen language scholarship.

01:04:38How do you know my mother's name?

01:04:40I am your husband.

01:04:41How could I not know your mother's name?

01:04:44Outside the window was the skyline of the whole city.

01:04:46It was no longer that rental apartment with the broken heating.

01:04:49But sometimes, I still think of that window, and the nights when I crouched there eating soup.

01:04:53Back then, I was fluent in eight languages, made $2,000 a year, and rejected a $10 million inheritance.

01:05:00I hid myself in the deepest corner, thinking that as long as I stayed silent, it would not hurt.

01:05:04In his letter, my father wrote,

01:05:06Be brave enough to be yourself.

01:05:08It took me a long time to understand that.

01:05:12But luckily, I did it.

01:05:14I was unable to understand that.

01:05:18I was able to learn the challenge, and I was able to understand that.

01:05:18Bye-bye for now.

01:05:19You
