The Silent Polyglot
Transcript
00:00:05I'm Annie Smith, a junior translator at White Global Trading Co. Lou Di.
00:00:09I've been here for three years, and make $24,000 a year.
00:00:13Pretty ordinary, right? But 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 insurder.
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.
00:00:56Annie, you better win the lucky draw later.
00:00:59If you do, finish 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 one.
00:01:18Everyone here, who speaks German, will earn a 70% of Gehandserröhung.
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.
00:01:55Starlet, 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.
00:02:05Mm-hmm.
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.
00:02:20The German translation team consists of four people, plus Starlet.
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.
00:02:33Ann!
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 meeting.
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 expect me to believe you don't understand German.
00:03:03Are you kidding me?
00:03:04I really don't understand German.
00:03:07Ann, that crappy place you rent barely have working heating.
00:03:11Sometimes, you even can't bring yourself to go when we go out for a drink on Friday.
00:03:14Can't you stand up for yourself for once?
00:03:16Elin 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 gonna suffer with that kind of personality sooner or later.
00:03:44All right.
00:03:51Good luck, isn't it?
00:03:53You can only understand the people from the German team.
00:03:56It means that only gives the core team a change.
00:04:00Others will just think that I think I'm a motivator.
00:04:05Very brilliant, Mr. White.
00:04:08Apros.
00:04:09Wen scherben wir nächste Woche für das Projekt der Crownbell Group?
00:04:14Scarlet.
00:04:15Sie spricht am besten Deutsch.
00:04:18Ich habe gehört, dass Präsident Anderson von Crownbell ziemlich schwierig ist.
00:04:22Letztes Mal hat er das gesamte Übersetzungsgrund von Meridian aus dem Sprengsraum hinlang gefrogen.
00:04:26Das sollte kein Problem sein.
00:04:28Scarlet kommt damit klar.
00:04:33Leute, auf Andersonville sollten wir diesmal nicht mitmehen.
00:04:36Sie könnten das Meeting ruinieren.
00:04:39They didn't know I could understand them.
00:04:41They thought I was just a small translator.
00:04:45But that's only to be expected.
00:04:47I haven't shown what I'm capable of either.
00:04:50Annie, send me the proofread version of last week's contract tomorrow.
00:04:55Yes, Mr. White.
00:05:01I placed the proofread contract on Brian White's desk the next day.
00:05:05It was a 30,000 word Spanish contract.
00:05:08And I had corrected 47 mistakes in the original translation.
00:05:12The original translator was Scarlet.
00:05:13But my name would never appear on the proofread version.
00:05:16It would only show translation department on the surface.
00:05:20Scarlet never knew her translations had been corrected by me.
00:05:23She thought she was the top.
00:05:26Annie, did you hear?
00:05:28Hear what?
00:05:29Scarlet is going to handle the Crownwell International next week.
00:05:32I heard.
00:05:33Do you know President Anderson of Crownwell?
00:05:40Who?
00:05:44Louis Anderson.
00:05:4532 years old.
00:05:46President of Crownwell International Commerce Group lead in.
00:05:49He ranked 98th on last year's global wealth rankings.
00:05:51They say he's fluent in five languages, but notorious for his bad temper.
00:05:54He even chewed out the entire Meridian's translation team and drove them out of the 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.
00:06:07Annie, 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.
00:06:21But the Eric team is out of the office today, so 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 just to pretend the work of someone who had only taken a little
00:06:45Arabic.
00:06:51Not bad was actually good enough for me.
00:07:00Annie, organize these materials for me. I need them for Crownwell's project next week.
00:07:04This is background materials on Crownwell International Commerce Group Loa, all 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, and 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, so 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. You're only responsible for basic proofreading.
00:07:35A major project like this isn't something you get to be part of.
00:07:38I know.
00:07:38Hmm.
00:07:45I heard everything in the pantry. Who 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, and then what?
00:07:54She's the boss.
00:07:57If you showed everyone what you can really do, what 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?
00:08:09I don't know either.
00:08:10Maybe I'm afraid of being noticed.
00:08:12Afraid that people will dig into my past and will look at me with pity.
00:08:16Or maybe I'm just too tired to care.
00:08:23An annual salary of 24 for $1,000.
00:08:26In this city, after rent and utilities, there isn't much left.
00:08:36Hello?
00:08:37Hello. Am 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 of the overseas assets left by your parents.
00:08:47And we need you to sign in person.
00:08:49I've said this before. I don't want any of it. Donate everything.
00:08:52Mrs. Smith, there is a sum in your parents' account in Zurich.
00:08:54I don't want it. Attorney Wills, thank you, but please stop calling me.
00:09:04The Translation Department had a meeting on the Monday morning.
00:09:07I wasn't told to attend, but 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.
00:09:18This time we're discussing a supply chain partnership for 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?
00:09:27Of course. I 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 in 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. Not my business.
00:09:54Finished 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 a change of the carrot policies and the risk points.
00:10:04All she had to do was a glance through and she was exactly to expect.
00:10:06It'll do.
00:10:11Scarlet!
00:10:13Scarlet!
00:10:14Scarlet!
00:10:14He rarely came down here in person.
00:10:17Scarlet, crown 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. No problem.
00:10:28Good.
00:10:28Bring 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! You come with me tomorrow.
00:10:41Me? I 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 Lillian's business negotiation.
00:10:55As 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 Lill tomorrow.
00:11:03Scarlet 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!
00:11:23Are you from White Global?
00:11:24Yes.
00:11:25I'm Scarlet, 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.
00:11:39Scarlet reapplied her lipstick twice and adjusted her hair three separate times in just these 15 minutes.
00:11:44Annie, when we go in, just sit on the side and take notes.
00:11:46Don't speak unless you're asked.
00:11:48Got it?
00:11:48Got it.
00:11:49Also, when you address Mr. Anderson, be 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 Scarlet, President Anderson will see you now.
00:12:1632 years old.
00:12:17About 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 and a lady who looked very, very young.
00:12:33A translation device sat in front of her.
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.
00:13:04I have asked in German.
00:13:05Also, please answer in German.
00:13:07I don't want to waste time.
00:13:11That was just a first time.
00:13:13We will update the data.
00:13:16Update.
00:13:17Update?
00:13:18She didn't know.
00:13:30But I did.
00:13:31Because that policy change was mentioned in the background materials.
00:13:34I have specifically marked it in the summary.
00:13:37But Scarlet obviously hadn't read it carefully.
00:13:42I have to do it internally.
00:13:44I have to do it internally.
00:13:47Have you not prepared before you come here?
00:13:50Yes.
00:13:51You have used three times the wrong German language.
00:13:55For the first time I said nothing.
00:13:57For the second time I did not.
00:13:58For the third time?
00:14:00Do you know what is in the business life when you use the wrong form constantly?
00:14:05It means either that you don't respect me or that you don't know your truth.
00:14:09What is this?
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.
00:14:25Mr. President Anderson, I pray for forgiveness.
00:14:28If this is the evil of White Glover, I will feel like I'm going to share it with another partner.
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.
00:14:45And junior translators like me will be first on the chopping block.
00:14:58Mr. President Anderson, please give us five minutes.
00:15:13And you are?
00:15:16I'm Annie, junior translator at Whitmore Global.
00:15:20Junior translator?
00:15:22Yes.
00:15:23The one who always takes notes beside and serves coffee.
00:15:29Five minutes.
00:15:34The new three?
00:15:35The key recommendations are the standard for 60,000, and six and eight CVs.
00:15:39These letters show our standardization here.
00:15:42We can compare five hundred percent.
00:15:43Five percent?
00:15:44Explain what you have.

00:15:59lowered his
00:16:00head and
00:16:00flipped through
00:16:01the files
00:16:01as if he was
00:16:02checking whether
00:16:03I was right.
00:16:04Where did you
00:16:04learn German?
00:16:05I lived in
00:16:06Berlin for a while.
00:16:07Your honorifics
00:16:08are very precise.
00:16:10And you said
00:16:10you were the
00:16:11junior level?
00:16:11Yes.
00:16:12Your five minutes
00:16:13are up.
00:16:14But I can give
00:16:14you ten more

00:16:18you meet

00:16:21She can't-
00:16:22I said she leads.
00:16:24Or you can
00:16:24lead right now.
00:16:28Scarlet,
00:16:29should I take over?
00:16:32Then let's restart
00:16:33from the first part
00:16:34of the proposal.
00:16:34This wasn't because
00:16:35I had prepared
00:16:36in advance.
00:16:36While sorting
00:16:37that 50 pages
00:16:38materials I for
00:16:39Scarlet,
00:16:39I had memorized
00:16:40every word.
00:16:41Plus, I grew up
00:16:41in a diplomatic
00:16:42family.
00:16:42The basics
00:16:43of international
00:16:44trade are as
00:16:44natural to me
00:16:45as breathing.

00:17:14works.
00:17:15I'll have
00:17:15my legal team
00:17:16follow up
00:17:16with 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
00:17:25level.
00:17:30You lied
00:17:31to everyone.
00:17:33What?
00:17:34You said
00:17:35you only
00:17:35spoke Spanish.
00:17:41I do
00:17:41mainly
00:17:42work in
00:17:42Spanish.
00:17:43What you
00:17:43did in
00:17:44there today,
00:17:44that's what
00:17:44you call
00:17:45mainly working
00:17:45in Spanish?
00:17:46Your German
00:17:47is better
00:17:47than mine.
00:17:48Where did
00:17:48that Arab
00:17:48come from?
00:17:49It's not
00:17:49even on
00:17:49your resume.
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 skills
00:17:57just waiting
00:17:58for a chance
00:17:58like this
00:17:59to show off!
00:18:01What do you
00:18:01think will
00:18:02happen just
00:18:02because you
00:18:03impressed
00:18:03Louie
00:18:04Anderson
00:18:04once?
00:18:05When we're
00:18:05back at the
00:18:06company,
00:18:06you're still
00:18:06just that
00:18:07junior translator.
00:18:08Annie,
00:18:09just you
00:18:09wait.
00:18:17Suddenly,
00:18:18I felt a little
00:18:18tired.
00:18:21How did
00:18:21the negotiation
00:18:22go?
00:18:22Did Scarlett
00:18:23crash and burn?
00:18:23The project
00:18:24was saved.
00:18:25How was it
00:18:25saved?
00:18:26Wasn't she...
00:18:26Wait,
00:18:27was it you?
00:18:28I'll tell
00:18:28you when I
00:18:29get back.
00:18:29Annie,
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,
00:18:35I felt
00:18:36the autumn
00:18:36wind blowing
00:18:37in.
00:18:37It was a
00:18:38bit cold.
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 project
00:18:59saved?
00:19:00Yes,
00:19:00but that was...
00:19:00Then that's
00:19:01all that matters.
00:19:02The Crown
00:19:02will deal
00:19:02is 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 is
00:19:20your German
00:19:20exactly?
00:19:21I can get
00:19:22by.
00:19:22I heard
00:19:24you handled
00:19:24the entire
00:19:25negotiation
00:19:25in German
00:19:26without any
00:19:26problem at
00:19:27Crownwell and
00:19:27you even
00:19:27used Arabic?
00:19:28My German
00:19:28just everyday
00:19:29level?
00:19:29Do you know
00:19:30if the company
00:19:30hired a
00:19:31multi-language
00:19:31translator like
00:19:32you, the
00:19:32starting salary
00:19:33would be at
00:19:33least $96,000 a
00:19:34year?
00:19:34I have no
00:19:35issues with
00:19:35my current
00:19:36salary.
00:19:36Fine.
00:19:37Come to the
00:19:38meeting room

00:19:38afternoon.

00:19:41Crownwell
00:19:41project.

00:19:48in the
00:19:48coordination.
00:19:49That's
00:19:49Mr. White's
00:19:49decision.
00:19:54Happy now,
00:19:54Annie?
00:19:56Scarlett, I
00:19:57just...
00:19:57You just
00:19:58what?
00:19:59You think
00:19:59because you
00:20:00showed up
00:20:00once yesterday
00:20:01you're on
00:20:01the same
00:20:01level as
00:20:02me now?
00:20:02That's not
00:20:03what I meant.
00:20:03I've been
00:20:04here for
00:20:04seven years.
00:20:05I worked
00:20:05my way up
00:20:06from intern
00:20:06to department
00:20:06leader.
00:20:07And you?
00:20:07A liar
00:20:08who's been
00:20:08hiding
00:20:09everything.
00:20:13Just you
00:20:14wait.
00:20:18Annie,
00:20:18Mr. Anderson
00:20:19specifically
00:20:19requested you
00:20:20as the
00:20:20translator
00:20:21for the
00:20:21follow-up
00:20:21coordination.
00:20:22Starting
00:20:22today,
00:20:22you'll be
00:20:23temporarily
00:20:23transferred
00:20:23to the
00:20:24Crownwell
00:20:24project team.
00:20:25Okay.
00:20:26But your
00:20:26position will
00:20:27remain junior
00:20:27and salary
00:20:28will stay
00:20:28the same.
00:20:29We'll
00:20:29evaluate it
00:20:29again
00:20:29after the
00:20:30project
00:20:30ends.
00:20:30Got it.
00:20:31Crownwell's
00:20:32supply chain
00:20:32project is
00:20:33divided into
00:20:33three stages.
00:20:34The preliminary
00:20:35framework was
00:20:35already discussed
00:20:35yesterday.
00:20:36Next comes
00:20:37the translation
00:20:37of the
00:20:37detailed terms
00:20:38and contract
00:20:38documents.
00:20:39All files
00:20:39will need
00:20:40English,
00:20:40Spanish,
00:20:40and German
00:20:40versions.
00:20:42Annie,
00:20:42can you
00:20:42handle all
00:20:43three language
00:20:43versions at
00:20:43the same
00:20:44time?
00:20:44Yes.
00:20:45Three languages?
00:20:46Since she
00:20:46joined this
00:20:46company,
00:20:47she has only
00:20:47ever worked
00:20:47as a
00:20:48Spanish
00:20:48translator.
00:20:48We don't
00:20:49even know
00:20:49her actual
00:20:49German
00:20:49level.
00:20:50What if
00:20:50something
00:20:50goes wrong?
00:20:51Yesterday's
00:20:52negotiation
00:20:52showed
00:20:52exactly what
00:20:53her level
00:20:53is.
00:20:54Any other
00:20:54questions?
00:20:58It took
00:20:59me two
00:20:59hours to
00:21:00finish the
00:21:00English
00:21:00version and
00:21:01another hour
00:21:02and a half
00:21:02to finish
00:21:03the Spanish
00:21:03version.
00:21:06You're
00:21:06translating that
00:21:07fast?
00:21:08Aren't you
00:21:08afraid of
00:21:08making mistakes?
00:21:09Nope.
00:21:10You'd better
00:21:10pray you
00:21:10don't make
00:21:11any.
00:21:18both the
00:21:19speed and
00:21:19quality
00:21:19excited
00:21:20expectations.
00:21:21Annie,
00:21:21what exactly
00:21:22have you
00:21:22been doing
00:21:22for the
00:21:22past
00:21:23three
00:21:23years?
00:21:32Hello?
00:21:32Annie?
00:21:33It was
00:21:34Louie
00:21:34Anderson.
00:21:35This is
00:21:35Louie
00:21:35Anderson
00:21:36from
00:21:36Crownwell.
00:21:37Mr.
00:21:37Wood gave
00:21:37me your
00:21:38number.
00:21:38Mr.
00:21:38Anderson,
00:21:39what can
00:21:39I do
00:21:39for you?
00:21:40I read
00:21:40the 62
00:21:41pages you
00:21:41translated
00:21:42today.
00:21:42Was there
00:21:43any
00:21:43problem?
00:21:43No problem
00:21:44at all.
00:21:45It's the
00:21:45most accurate
00:21:45German business
00:21:46translation I've
00:21:47seen in the
00:21:47past three
00:21:48years.
00:21:49You'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
00:21:56an internal
00:21:56meeting tomorrow
00:21:57afternoon.
00:21:57It involves
00:21:58partner selection
00:21:59for the
00:21:59Middle
00:21:59Eastern
00:21:59market.
00:22:00I need
00:22:00an Arabic
00:22:00speaking
00:22:01interpreter
00:22:01there.
00:22:01This
00:22:02should go
00:22:02through
00:22:02the
00:22:03company.
00:22:03I know,
00:22:04but I'm
00:22:04asking you
00:22:05directly.
00:22:05Would you
00:22:06like to
00:22:06come?
00:22:07Okay,
00:22:07I will.
00:22:10Annie,
00:22:10maybe you're
00:22:11going to be
00:22:11exposed 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 group
00:22:22in the UAE.
00:22:22The man
00:22:23leading the
00:22:23meeting looked
00:22:23about 50,
00:22:24wearing a
00:22:24white robe
00:22:25with a
00:22:25Siri expression.
00:22:26A young
00:22:27Arab woman
00:22:27sat beside
00:22:28him
00:22:28should be
00:22:28his
00:22:28interpreter.
00:22:29You're
00:22:30here.
00:22:31Today,
00:22:31I may need
00:22:32you to do
00:22:32an interpretation
00:22:33between
00:22:33Eric and
00:22:34English.
00:22:35Okay.
00:22:35If
00:22:35Scarlet were
00:22:36here,
00:22:36she would
00:22:36probably
00:22:37ask,
00:22:37where did
00:22:37your
00:22:37ablik
00:22:38even come
00:22:38from?
00:22:38The answer
00:22:39is I
00:22:39lived in
00:22:39Cairo for
00:22:40a year
00:22:40and a
00:22:40half.
00:22:40During
00:22:41that
00:22:41time,
00:22:41my
00:22:41roommate
00:22:42was
00:22:42even
00:22:42an
00:22:42Egyptian
00:22:42diplomat's
00:22:43daughter.
00:22:47Grass,
00:22:48this
00:22:48valid
00:22:48ass
00:22:48him
00:22:49is
00:22:49Lord.
00:22:49Standard
00:22:50procedure,
00:22:5115
00:22:51minutes
00:22:51passed.
00:22:5620%
00:22:56to
00:22:57other
00:22:57that
00:22:57we
00:22:57will
00:22:58move
00:22:58on.
00:22:59thing
00:22:59I lowered
00:23:00my
00:23:00head
00:23:00in height
00:23:00as if I
00:23:01were taking
00:23:01notes.
00:23:01Then I
00:23:02turned my
00:23:02laptop slightly
00:23:03so Louie
00:23:03Anderson could
00:23:03see this
00:23:04one line
00:23:04in English.
00:23:05They said
00:23:05they want
00:23:05to push
00:23:05a price
00:23:05down
00:23:06by 20
00:23:06work.
00:23:06They'll
00:23:06switch
00:23:06to
00:23:07suppliers.
00:23:07Louie
00:23:08Anderson's
00:23:08eyes stayed
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.
00:23:13But
00:23:13in the
00:23:13negotiation
00:23:14that followed
00:23:14his
00:23:15strategy
00:23:15clearly shifted.
00:23:16Let's
00:23:16cut the
00:23:16chase.
00:23:26is excellent.
00:23:27Not
00:23:27that
00:23:27good.
00:23:28Just
00:23:28the
00:23:28daily
00:23:28level.
00:23:29You
00:23:29heard
00:23:29what
00:23:29he
00:23:29said
00:23:29to
00:23:30his
00:23:30interpreter
00:23:30just
00:23:30now?
00:23:31Then
00:23:31you
00:23:31warned
00:23:32me.
00:23:32I
00:23:32just
00:23:33thought
00:23:33the
00:23:33information
00:23:33might
00:23:34be
00:23:34useful
00:23:34for
00:23:34the
00:23:34negotiation.
00:23:35Without
00:23:35that
00:23:35warning
00:23:36from
00:23:36you,
00:23:36this
00:23:36deal
00:23:36would
00:23:37have
00:23:37cost
00:23:37us
00:23:37at
00:23:37least
00:23:37eight
00:23:37million

00:26:24It hasn't come
00:26:25to that yet.
00:26:29There are two
00:26:30things to discuss
00:26:31today.
00:26:31First, the
00:26:33Crownwell
00:26:33project has
00:26:34finished the
00:26:34initial handover.
00:26:36Mr. Anderson

00:26:37with our
00:26:38translation work.
00:26:39Bonuses

00:26:44Second,
00:26:45regarding
00:26:45the
00:26:46update
00:26:46of
00:26:46employee
00:26:47profiles.
00:26:52Mr. White,
00:26:53I have
00:26:53a question.
00:26:54Go ahead.
00:26:56If an
00:26:56employee
00:26:57deliberately
00:26:57hides
00:26:58their
00:26:58skills
00:26:58and
00:26:58causes
00:26:59the
00:26:59company
00:26:59to
00:26:59make
00:27:00the
00:27:00mistakes
00:27:00in
00:27:00allocating
00:27:01human
00:27:01resources,
00:27:02does that
00:27:03count as
00:27:03a
00:27:03violation?
00:27:10Then let
00:27:11me give
00:27:11an example.
00:27:11Say an
00:27:12employee only
00:27:12lists 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
00:27:16company
00:27:16assigns her
00:27:16position
00:27:17and salary
00:27:17according
00:27:17on the
00:27:18standard
00:27:18for a
00:27:18Spanish
00:27:18translator
00:27:19and
00:27:19she
00:27:19never
00:27:19raises
00:27:20any
00:27:20objection.
00:27:21Over
00:27:21three
00:27:21years
00:27:21without
00:27:21knowing
00:27:22the
00:27:22truth,
00:27:22the

00:27:24human
00:27:24resources.
00:27:25This

00:34:08connections
00:34:08in the
00:34:09company.
00:34:10Mr.

00:34:24She
00:34:25got promoted

00:34:27enough and
00:34:27knew the

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.
00:34:45It
00:34:46was more
00:34:46like
00:34:47avoidance.
00:34:48Something
00:34:48happened.
00:34:49What

00:34:57were

00:34:58That's

00:34:59accusation.
00:35:00I know.
00:35:01But she

00:53:05Language
00:53:06is not
00:53:06a chain.
00:53:07It
00:53:07is
00:53:07wings.
00:53:12The
00:53:13day I
00:53:13came
00:53:13back,
00:53:14it
00:53:14was
00:53:15late
00:53:15December.
00:53:17New
00:53:17York's
00:53:17winter
00:53:18was
00:53:18cold,
00:53:18but
00:53:19the
00:53:19air
00:53:19carried
00:53:20a
00:53:20familiar
00:53:20scent.
00:53:22Annie,
00:53:23the
00:53:23director
00:53:23position

00:53:30What is
00:53:30the
00:53:30salary?
00:53:32$200,000.
00:53:34Okay.
00:53:34And just
00:53:35like that,
00:53:36in less than
00:53:36half a year,
00:53:37I went from a
00:53:37junior role to
00:53:38the director of
00:53:39the translation
00:53:39department.
00:53:42On the day I
00:53:43officially took
00:53:43the role,
00:53:44I stood in the
00:53:44meeting room and
00:53:46made a speech to the
00:53:46people in the
00:53:47translation department.
00:53:51I
00:53:51know many of you have
00:53:52questions about me.
00:53:55Why does
00:53:56someone who
00:53:56hid for three
00:53:57years suddenly
00:53:58get to become
00:53:58director?
00:53:59I am not
00:53:59going to
00:54:00explain.
00:54:01From

00:54:01results will
00:54:02do the
00:54:02talking.
00:54:03I will
00:54:03personally
00:54:04proofread
00:54:04everyone's
00:54:04translation
00:54:05drafts.
00:54:05I have
00:54:06only one
00:54:06standard,
00:54:07accuracy.

00:54:08I will
00:54:09teach

00:54:11that,

00:54:12will
00:54:12be
00:54:12replaced.
00:54:15Translation
00:54:15is not a
00:54:16word game.
00:54:17One wrong
00:54:17number in a
00:54:18trade contract
00:54:18can mean tens
00:54:19of millions
00:54:19in losses.
00:54:21Strictness
00:54:21is the
00:54:22bare minimum.
00:54:26Hello?

00:57:21that Cairo
00:57:22accent of

00:57:22I recognized

00:57:24Annie,
00:57:25before your
00:57:26father passed
00:57:26away,
00:57:27he said
00:57:27something to

00:57:30will become
00:57:30a better
00:57:31bridge than

00:57:33That night,
00:57:33Louis
00:57:34Anderson
00:57:34came back
00:57:34from South
00:57:35Korea and
00:57:35went straight
00:57:36to my
00:57:36building.
00:57:38Come

00:57:39For
00:57:40what?
00:57:41I want
00:57:41to take
00:57:41a walk
00:57:42with you.
00:57:45The
00:57:46street was
00:57:46cold,
00:57:47and the
00:57:47streetlights
00:57:48stretched our
00:57:48shadows long
00:57:49across the
00:57:49pavement.
00:57:50I watched
00:57:51the documentary.
00:57:52How
00:57:53was it?
00:57:54Not
00:57:54good enough
00:57:55for your
00:57:55translation.
00:57:56The
00:57:56director was
00:57:56average.
00:57:57Don't say
00:57:57that about
00:57:58Martin.
00:57:58But your
00:57:59parts were
00:58:00excellent.
00:58:00You weren't
00:58:01just translating
00:58:01in the interview,
00:58:02you were carrying
00:58:03the emotion
00:58:03across.
00:58:05My father
00:58:05once said
00:58:06if you
00:58:06understand
00:58:07someone's
00:58:07mother tongue,
00:58:08you can
00:58:08understand
00:58:08their heart.
00:58:09You did
00:58:10that.
00:58:12We walked
00:58:12for a long
00:58:13time until
00:58:13we reached
00:58:14a river.

00:58:27I'm
00:58:27building a
00:58:27position
00:58:28for you.
00:58:29What do
00:58:30you mean?
00:58:30You're not
00:58:30meant to be
00:58:31just a
00:58:31translator.
00:58:32Translation
00:58:33is a
00:58:33tool,
00:58:33and you
00:58:34should use
00:58:34that tool
00:58:34to do
00:58:34something
00:58:35bigger.
00:58:35Your
00:58:36father's
00:58:36porcelain
00:58:36collection
00:58:37could become
00:58:37an
00:58:37exhibition
00:58:37about
00:58:38the
00:58:38history
00:58:38of
00:58:38global
00:58:38trade.
00:58:39Use
00:58:39your
00:58:39eight
00:58:39languages
00:58:39to tell
00:58:40that
00:58:40story to
00:58:40the
00:58:40world.
00:58:41What's
00:58:41the
00:58:41salary?
00:58:42Name
00:58:42your
00:58:42price.
00:58:43You
00:58:43don't
00:58:44think
00:58:44I'm
00:58:44taking
00:58:44advantage
00:58:44of
00:58:45you?
00:58:45Then
00:58:45let me
00:58:46take
00:58:46advantage
00:58:46of
00:58:46you.
00:58:47What?
00:58:47Be my
00:58:48girlfriend.
00:58:49No
00:58:49salary
00:58:49needed.

00:58:53One million
00:58:53dollars a

00:58:55But the
00:58:55girlfriend part
00:58:56is serious
00:58:56too.
00:58:57The
00:58:58streetlight
00:58:58fell across
00:58:58his face
00:58:59softening
00:58:59cold lines
00:59:00he usually
00:59:00carried.
00:59:04Two days
00:59:05later,
00:59:05I gave
00:59:06him my
00:59:06answer.
00:59:07I said
00:59:07yes to
00:59:08both.

00:59:19yourself.
00:59:21Speaking
00:59:21of which,
00:59:22what I
00:59:22said in
00:59:23German at
00:59:23the
00:59:23annual
00:59:23meeting?

00:59:26then,
00:59:27didn't

00:59:29Then

01:00:19came to
01:00:19the

01:00:21Uncle
01:00:21George
01:00:21stood
01:00:21in the
01:00:22exhibition
01:00:22hall,
01:00:23looking
01:00:23at my
01:00:23father's
01:00:24handwritten
01:00:24labels on
01:00:25the
01:00:25Portland

01:00:26tears
01:00:26streaming
01:00:27down
01:00:27his
01:00:27face.
01:00:28Michael,
01:00:29your
01:00:29daughter
01:00:30made
01:00:30it.
01:00:34Annie,
01:00:35how about
01:00:35turning this
01:00:36exhibition
01:00:36into a
01:00:37second season
01:00:37of the
01:00:37documentary?
01:00:40We can
01:00:41talk about
01:00:41it.
01:00:42I told
01:00:43you,
01:00:43you were
01:00:44never
01:00:44just a
01:00:44translator.
01:00:47Louis
01:00:47Anderson
01:00:47stood in
01:00:48the corner
01:00:48of the
01:00:48exhibition
01:00:49hall,
01:00:49staying
01:00:49away
01:00:49from
01:00:50the
01:00:50front.
01:00:50He
01:00:50was
01:00:50wearing a
01:00:51black
01:00:51suit,
01:00:51hands
01:00:52in my
01:00:52pockets,
01:00:52watching me
01:00:53give interviews
01:00:53under the
01:00:54spotlight.
01:00:54That
01:00:54look in his
01:00:55eyes,
01:00:55you are
01:00:56someone I
01:00:56didn't want
01:00:56to miss.
01:01:03Mrs.
01:01:04Smith,
01:01:04you are
01:01:05fluent in
01:01:05eight languages,
01:01:06but I
01:01:06heard you
01:01:06spent three
01:01:07years as a
01:01:07junior
01:01:08translator at
01:01:08a trading
01:01:09company,
01:01:09making only
01:01:09$24,000 a
01:01:11year.
01:01:13Yes.
01:01:14Why did
01:01:15you hide
01:01:15your abilities?
01:01:17Because I
01:01:17was running
01:01:17away.
01:01:19Every language
01:01:20was tied to
01:01:20memories of
01:01:21my parents.
01:01:22I thought
01:01:22if I hid
01:01:23them away,
01:01:23it would
01:01:23stop hurting.
01:01:25But later I
01:01:26realized that
01:01:26languages do
01:01:27not disappear
01:01:27just because
01:01:28you refuse
01:01:28to speak
01:01:29them.
01:01:29They stay
01:01:29in your
01:01:30blood,
01:01:30waiting for
01:01:31you to
01:01:31speak.
01:01:32What finally
01:01:32made you
01:01:33decide to
01:01:33speak up?
01:01:35A letter.
01:01:37My father
01:01:37wrote it.
01:01:38He said if I
01:01:39have the ability
01:01:39to make a
01:01:40difference,
01:01:40I should use
01:01:41it.
01:01:41On the
01:01:42second day
01:01:42of the
01:01:42exhibition,
01:01:43someone
01:01:43unexpected
01:01:44showed up.
01:01:46Scarlet.
01:01:48What are
01:01:49you doing
01:01:49here?
01:01:50I saw it
01:01:51on the
01:01:51news.
01:01:52Your father
01:01:53collected
01:01:53these?
01:01:54Yes.
01:01:56They're
01:01:56beautiful.
01:01:58Annie,
01:01:58I owe
01:01:59you an
01:01:59apology.
01:02:00You do
01:02:01not have
01:02:01to.
01:02:01Let me
01:02:01speak.
01:02:03I was
01:02:03jealous of
01:02:04you.
01:02:04I had
01:02:05been jealous
01:02:05since the
01:02:05first time
01:02:06you opened
01:02:06your mouth
01:02:06and spoke
01:02:07German.
01:02:08It took
01:02:08me seven
01:02:09years to
01:02:09climb up
01:02:09to Team
01:02:10Leader,
01:02:10but you
01:02:10were already
01:02:11above me
01:02:11without even
01:02:11trying.
01:02:12I could
01:02:12not accept
01:02:13that.
01:02:14So you
01:02:14chose to
01:02:15frame me?
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:16And then I
01:02:17paid the
01:02:17price.
01:02:18After I
01:02:18left White
01:02:19Global,
01:02:19that German
01:02:20contract at
01:02:20the translation
01:02:21company,
01:02:21you heard
01:02:22about it,
01:02:22right?
01:02:22I did.
01:02:24Because you
01:02:24used to
01:02:25correct my
01:02:25work,
01:02:25I never
01:02:25knew what
01:02:26my real
01:02:26level was.
01:02:26Once you
01:02:27were not
01:02:27there anymore,
01:02:28I finally
01:02:28realized,
01:02:28Starlet,
01:02:29your hard
01:02:29work was
01:02:29real.
01:02:30Those
01:02:30seven years
01:02:31of German
01:02:31were not
01:02:31wasted either.
01:02:32You just
01:02:32chose the
01:02:32wrong direction
01:02:33at certain
01:02:33moments.
01:02:34You don't
01:02:34hate me?
01:02:35No.
01:02:37The
01:02:37forged
01:02:37screenshots
01:02:38are in
01:02:38the past
01:02:39now.
01:02:40You really
01:02:41are different
01:02:41from before.
01:02:42Back then,
01:02:42I could not
01:02:43even face
01:02:43myself.
01:02:45The
01:02:45exhibition
01:02:46is wonderful.
01:02:46Your
01:02:52exhibition
01:02:53ran for
01:02:53two months
01:02:54across five
01:02:54cities with
01:02:55more than
01:02:56120,000
01:02:57visitors in
01:02:58total.
01:03:06After the
01:03:07closing ceremony,
01:03:09Louis Anderson
01:03:09found me on
01:03:10the hotel
01:03:10terrace.
01:03:11Tired?
01:03:13A little.
01:03:14Five cities,
01:03:15two months.
01:03:16You handled
01:03:16all the narration
01:03:16translation work
01:03:17across every
01:03:17language by
01:03:18yourself.
01:03:19I am
01:03:20used to
01:03:20it.
01:03:21Do not
01:03:21get used
01:03:21to carrying
01:03:22everything
01:03:22alone.
01:03:24This is
01:03:25not a
01:03:25proposal,
01:03:25so don't
01:03:26be nervous.
01:03:28It's
01:03:28custom-made
01:03:29because you
01:03:30said your
01:03:30father once
01:03:30told you
01:03:31that you
01:03:31were the
01:03:31bridge.
01:03:34This?
01:03:34There is
01:03:35a line
01:03:35engraved
01:03:36on the
01:03:36bridge.
01:03:37It has
01:03:38the word
01:03:38bridge
01:03:38engraved
01:03:39in nine
01:03:39languages.
01:03:40The
01:03:40ninth
01:03:41language
01:03:41is
01:03:41Russian.
01:03:42I
01:03:43studied
01:03:43for three
01:03:43months
01:03:43just to
01:03:44learn one
01:03:44word.
01:03:45The
01:03:45Cairo
01:03:45night
01:03:45wind
01:03:46swept
01:03:46across
01:03:46the
01:03:47terrace.
01:03:47In
01:03:48the
01:03:48distance,
01:03:49the
01:03:49banks
01:03:49of
01:03:49the
01:03:49Nile
01:03:50were
01:03:50bright
01:03:50with
01:03:50lights.
01:03:53Willie
01:03:53Anderson,
01:03:54you really
01:03:54are.
01:03:54What?
01:03:57Too good
01:03:58at this.
01:04:00Only
01:04:01with you.
01:04:08Five years
