Transcription
00:00:00Je suis Clara Bennett, j'ai traduité à Gram Global Trading Co.
00:00:04Je suis ici trois ans et je fais $24,000 par mois.
00:00:11C'est assez ordinaire, non?
00:00:15Mais en fait, je suis étudiante en 8 langues.
00:00:18English, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Arab, et Italien.
00:00:26N'importe qui connaît ça.
00:00:28Mon père était un diplôme, et ma mère était une interpreteur.
00:00:32Cinq ans ans, ils ont mort dans un accident.
00:00:35Je n'ai jamais voulu montrer ces skills.
00:00:37Je veux juste garder mon tête et être un petit, unassuming translator.
00:00:41Let's welcome Mr. Gram to the stage.
00:00:46Everyone a travaillé hard over the past year.
00:00:49Thank you for your dedication.
00:00:50In the new year, we will...
00:00:51It's been 10 minutes, and I'm down here counting how many times he says thank you
00:00:55while he's giving the speech.
00:00:58Clara, you'd better win the lucky draw later.
00:01:00If you do, dinner's on me.
00:01:03Sure.
00:01:04Why not?
00:01:05That's my everyday life.
00:01:07Mia is my only friend at work.
00:01:08She doesn't know I speak eight languages.
00:01:11But she does know one thing.
00:01:15He'll see you next time, Lord.
00:01:16Außerdem habe ich noch eine andere Ankündigung.
00:01:18Jeder hier, der Deutsch spricht, erhält im nächsten Jahr einer 70% Gehousens-Erhöhung.
00:01:2470%.
00:01:25My salary would go from 24,000 to 48,00.
00:01:30But it has nothing to do with me.
00:01:33Je me suis dit, ça n'a rien à faire avec moi.
00:01:41Clara, tu comprends ça ?
00:01:43Non, je ne parle pas German.
00:01:46C'est bien, bien sûr.
00:01:48Tu as seulement une certifficate en spanish.
00:01:50Qu'est-ce que tu peux peut-être comprendre ?
00:01:53Poor thing.
00:01:56Vanessa, majoring en German, French et Spanish,
00:01:59est le chef de l'équipe de l'équipe de Translator.
00:02:01Elle a été promulgée en seulement trois mois
00:02:03et a été remoulée en tant qu'est-ce que j'ai depuis.
00:02:09Anyway, le raise n'a rien à faire avec toi.
00:02:12Juste faire le travail de base.
00:02:15Oh, et vous vous souvenez de l'équipe de l'équipe de l'équipe de Prés-Explés
00:02:18ce soir, je n'ai pas dit rien.
00:02:20A 70% raise.
00:02:22La équipe de Translator avec 4 personnes, plus Vanessa.
00:02:26Only 5 personnes seraient.
00:02:27Je ne sais pas si c'est.
00:02:28Ce n'est pas que ça a fait avec moi ?
00:02:31Non, vraiment rien.
00:02:35Clara, stay right là.
00:02:37Je suis venu en maintenant.
00:02:44Je suis venu en maintenant.
00:02:45Clara.
00:02:46Sarah, why didn't you raise your hand just now?
00:02:51Raise my hand for what?
00:02:54You definitely understood that German, right? 70%?
00:02:57You only make $24,000 a year.
00:03:00After the raise, that's $4,800 a year.
00:03:03No, I didn't get the meaning. I don't speak German.
00:03:09Who are you trying to fool? Your French is already that good.
00:03:12You expect me to believe you don't understand German.
00:03:14Are you kidding me?
00:03:17I really don't understand German.
00:03:20Clara, that crappy place you rent barely have working heating?
00:03:26Sometimes you even can't bring yourself to go when we go out for a drink on Friday.
00:03:30Can't you stand up for yourself for once?
00:03:32Nia caught me reading a French book in the pantry last year.
00:03:37I told her I'd studied a little bit French.
00:03:39She's been holding it in for almost a year.
00:03:42I don't want to expose.
00:03:46Oh my God, Clara, what are you afraid of?
00:03:49Fine. Keep pretending. I'm done.
00:03:52But Clara, I'm telling you.
00:03:55You're going to suffer with that kind of personality sooner or later.
00:03:59All right.
00:04:09Good luck.
00:04:22Very brilliant, Mr. Graham.
00:04:25Abbruch, wen schäden wir nächste Woche für das Projekt der Halberth Group?
00:04:30Vanessa, sie spricht am besten Deutsch.
00:04:34Ich habe gehört, dass Präsident Azen von Halworth ziemlich schwierig ist.
00:04:39Letztes Mal hat er das ganze Übersesserkum von Marion aus dem Besprechungsraum hingefrohen.
00:04:44Das sollte kein Problem sein. Vanessa kommt damit klar.
00:04:50Leute, auf NS-Nivelle sollten wir diesmal nicht mitnehmen.
00:04:53Sie könnten das Meeting ruinieren.
00:04:56They didn't know I could understand them.
00:04:58They thought I was just a small translator.
00:05:03But that's only to be expected.
00:05:05I haven't shown what I'm capable of either.
00:05:08Clara, send me the proofread version of last week's contract tomorrow.
00:05:12Yes, Mr. Graham.
00:05:15I placed the proofcheck contract on Daniel Graham's desk the next day.
00:05:20It was a 30,000-word Spanish contract,
00:05:23and I had corrected 47 mistakes in the original translation.
00:05:27The original translator was Vanessa,
00:05:29but my name would never appear on the proofread version.
00:05:32It would only show translation department on the surface.
00:05:36Vanessa never knew her translations had been corrected by me.
00:05:40She thought she was the top.
00:05:44Clara, did you hear?
00:05:46Hear what?
00:05:47Vanessa is going to handle the Haleworth International next week.
00:05:51I heard.
00:05:53Do you know President Ethan Hale of Haleworth?
00:05:57Who?
00:06:00Ethan Hale, 32 years old, President of Haleworth.
00:06:03He ranked 98th on last year's Forbes.
00:06:06They say he's fluent in five languages,
00:06:08but notorious for his bad temper.
00:06:10He even chewed out the entire Meridian's translation team
00:06:13and drove them out of the meeting room.
00:06:15What does that have to do with me?
00:06:17You think Vanessa can handle him?
00:06:21Even if she can't, that's not my business.
00:06:25Clara, seriously.
00:06:26You're way too good at putting up with things.
00:06:28Milla left.
00:06:29She doesn't get it.
00:06:30I'm not putting up with it.
00:06:31I just don't want to get involved.
00:06:33It was an Arabic supplier quotation.
00:06:36Technically, it should have gone to someone on the Arabic group.
00:06:39But the Arabic team is out of the office today,
00:06:41so Jason Pyrrhus casually dumped it on me.
00:06:43Clara, didn't you say you took a little Arabic course in college?
00:06:46Just do a rough translation.
00:06:48Sure.
00:06:49I did tell him I'd taken a little Arabic.
00:06:52But in fact, I lived in Saudi Arabia for two years.
00:06:55Arabic is basically my fourth native language.
00:06:58It took me 15 minutes to finish the translation.
00:07:00I left two tiny mistakes in proposal
00:07:02just to pretend the work of someone
00:07:04who had only taken a little Arabic.
00:07:07Not bad was actually good enough for me.
00:07:12Clara, organize these materials for me.
00:07:15I need them for Haleworth Project next week.
00:07:17This is background materials
00:07:19on Haleworth International Commerce Group Ludley,
00:07:21all in Spanish, about 50 pages.
00:07:23This isn't my job.
00:07:25How is it not?
00:07:26You're in the translation department,
00:07:27and I'm your leader.
00:07:28Is there a problem with me assigning you work?
00:07:31She had been promoted to team leader last month,
00:07:33so of course was at the peak of her arrogance.
00:07:36Fine.
00:07:43Oh, and there's a department meeting tomorrow.
00:07:45We'll be discussing the handover plan
00:07:46for the Haleworth Project.
00:07:48You don't need to attend.
00:07:50I know.
00:07:51You're only responsible for basic proofreading.
00:07:53A major project like this
00:07:54isn't something you get to be part of.
00:07:56I know.
00:08:01I heard everything in the pantry.
00:08:03Who does she think she is talking to you like that?
00:08:05What does she mean by not something you get to be part of?
00:08:07I'm used to it.
00:08:08Can't you just clap back for once?
00:08:10And then what?
00:08:11She's the boss.
00:08:12If you showed everyone what you can really do,
00:08:14what kind of boss would she even be?
00:08:16I don't want to.
00:08:17What exactly are you afraid of, Clara?
00:08:20What am I afraid of?
00:08:22I don't know either.
00:08:23Maybe I'm afraid of being noticed.
00:08:25Afraid that people will dig into my past
00:08:28and will look at me with pity.
00:08:29Or maybe I'm just too tired to care.
00:08:37An annual salary of $24,000.
00:08:40In this city, after rent and utilities,
00:08:43there isn't much left.
00:08:59Hello?
00:09:00Hello.
00:09:01Am I speaking with Miss Clara Bennett?
00:09:02Yes.
00:09:03This is Attorney Wills from Kirkland and Ellis Law Firm.
00:09:06There are some documents regarding the settlement
00:09:07of the overseas assets left by your parents,
00:09:09and we need you to sign in person.
00:09:11I've said this before.
00:09:12I don't want any of it.
00:09:13Donate everything.
00:09:13Ms. Burnett, there is a sum in your parents' account in Zurich.
00:09:16I don't want it.
00:09:18Attorney Wills, thank you, but please stop calling me.
00:09:27The translation department had a meeting on the Monday morning.
00:09:30I wasn't told to attend,
00:09:31but my desk was right next to the meeting room.
00:09:34I could hear every word through that glass wall.
00:09:36Ethan Hale is fluent in German and French.
00:09:38They're also someone who can speak Mandarin and Japanese in his team.
00:09:42This time, we're discussing a supply chain partnership for the Middle East market.
00:09:46Anything involving Arabic will be handled by their side.
00:09:49We only need to cover the German communication.
00:09:51Can you handle that?
00:09:52Of course.
00:09:52Studied in Germany for three years.
00:09:54Business negotiation like this is exactly in my comfort zone.
00:09:57To be fair, Vanessa's German is decent.
00:09:59Daily conversation is indeed a piece of cake for her.
00:10:01But I've reviewed her previous translations.
00:10:04Her business, Jernisch, has one fatal habit.
00:10:05She relies too much on literal translation
00:10:08and often misses the level of formality required in German business correspondence.
00:10:12In everyday conversation, that's not a big deal.
00:10:15But if the person she faced is extremely sensitive to details...
00:10:22Never mind.
00:10:23Not my business.
00:10:31Finished sorting everything?
00:10:33Yes.
00:10:34I made her a summary, classified by project type, cooperation history, and key personal.
00:10:39I also marked the changes in tariff policies and the risk points.
00:10:42All she had to do was glance through it, and she would know exactly what to expect.
00:10:46It'll do.
00:10:52Vanessa?
00:10:54He rarely came down here in person.
00:10:56Hallerith moved the schedule up.
00:10:58Ethan will be here tomorrow afternoon.
00:10:59Are you ready?
00:11:02Moved up?
00:11:03I've gone through all the materials.
00:11:05No problem.
00:11:06Good.
00:11:06Bring someone with you tomorrow for on-site interpretation support.
00:11:10I'll take Zach.
00:11:12His German is decent, too.
00:11:13Zach is still on leave.
00:11:17Clara.
00:11:18You come with me tomorrow.
00:11:21Me?
00:11:21I only speak Spanish.
00:11:24You'll just take notes and serve coffee.
00:11:26I'll handle the professional part.
00:11:29Her?
00:11:31Don't worry, Mr. Graham.
00:11:32She's more than enough as an assistant.
00:11:35I got dragged into Hallworth's business negotiation.
00:11:39As an assistant and a note taker.
00:11:41Someone who can serve coffee at the same time.
00:11:45I sent Mia a message.
00:11:46I will go to Hallworth tomorrow.
00:11:48Vanessa is taking you?
00:11:49Doesn't she always look down on you?
00:11:52As the errand girl.
00:11:54You...
00:11:54You just agreed to that?
00:11:56What else am I supposed to do?
00:11:58Clara!
00:12:12Are you from Graham Global?
00:12:14Yes.
00:12:14I'm Vanessa.
00:12:15Team leader of the translation department.
00:12:18This is my assistant, Clara.
00:12:20Oh, she called me assistant.
00:12:22I didn't correct her.
00:12:25Please wait.
00:12:26President Hale is still in a meeting.
00:12:32Vanessa reapplied her lipstick twice
00:12:34and adjusted her hair three separate times
00:12:37in just these 15 minutes.
00:12:44Clara, when we go in,
00:12:46just sit on the side and take notes.
00:12:48Don't speak unless you're asked.
00:12:49Got it?
00:12:51Got it.
00:12:52Also, when you address Mr. Hale,
00:12:54be formal and respectful.
00:12:55Don't let your eyes wander.
00:12:57People at his level hate unprofessional behavior.
00:13:00Okay.
00:13:00Ms. Reed, President Hale will see you now.
00:13:0932 years old.
00:13:11About 6'1", gray suit, no tie.
00:13:14The top button of his shirt was undone.
00:13:16His face was cold.
00:13:17Not the kind of cold people put on to look cool.
00:13:21He was genuinely cold.
00:13:23Sit.
00:13:25Two other people were sitting next to him.
00:13:28The legal director
00:13:30and a lady who looked very young.
00:13:32A translation device sat in front of her.
00:13:34In dem letzten Verschoß lag,
00:13:36den ihr Vater Militon uns vorgestellt hat,
00:13:38basieren drei Tarifwerte
00:13:39auf den Standards aus dem Jahr 2021.
00:13:41Wir befinden jetzt im Jahr 2024,
00:13:43was soll das bedeuten.
00:13:45He spoke fast.
00:13:46Every word was sharp.
00:13:48She understood him,
00:13:50but she clearly didn't expect him to open like that.
00:13:57I mean...
00:13:58Ich habe auf Deutsch gefragt,
00:13:59also antworten ihn Sie bitte auf Deutsch.
00:14:01Ich will keine Zeit verschwellenle,
00:14:02über einen Dolmister zu sprechen.
00:14:05Dieser Vorschlag war nur ein erster Endstau.
00:14:08Wir werden die Daten aktualisieren.
00:14:11Aktualisieren?
00:14:12Hat Immat in ihrem Team
00:14:13die SUG-Politik von 2024
00:14:15für EU-Einführen in den Nahen Osten studiert?
00:14:18Die Änderungen zu Artikel 3 und Artikel 7
00:14:21beherlösen direkt 15%
00:14:23ihrer Allgabotsmarge.
00:14:24Wussten Sie das?
00:14:26She didn't know.
00:14:27But I did.
00:14:28Because that policy change
00:14:29was mentioned in the background materials.
00:14:32I had specifically marked it in the summary.
00:14:34But Vanessa obviously hadn't read it carefully.
00:14:38D-das muss ich zuerst beferrieren.
00:14:41Haben Sie sich gar nicht vorbereitet,
00:14:42bevor Sie hierher gekommen sind?
00:14:45I...
00:14:47I...
00:14:47Sie haben dreimal die falschen
00:14:49in deutschen Höhlichkeitsformen gebenust.
00:14:50Beim ersten und zweiten Mal
00:14:52habe ich nichts gesagt.
00:14:53Beim dritten Mal...
00:14:54I...
00:14:54Wissen Sie, was die wiederholtete
00:14:56der Wonsung falscher Anschillungformen
00:14:57im Beschäft-Kontext benötet?
00:14:59Das bedeutet, Enddog,
00:15:00dass Sie mich nicht respektieren
00:15:01oder dass Sie nicht kompetent genug sind.
00:15:03Welles von beiden trifft zu.
00:15:05The legal director beside Ethan
00:15:07gave a slight shake of his head.
00:15:09The meaning was obvious.
00:15:12This negotiation was about to fall through.
00:15:15President Hale, es tut mir sehr leid.
00:15:18Wenn das das Nieve von Graham Global ist,
00:15:20werde ich Herr Börchen
00:15:21zu einem anderen Partner zu schecksen.
00:15:26My hands froze above the keyboard.
00:15:28Two voices were speaking in my head.
00:15:31It's none of your concern.
00:15:32You're just here to fetch coffee
00:15:34and serve drinks.
00:15:35This is Graham Global's biggest deal
00:15:37of the year.
00:15:38If we lose it,
00:15:39there'll probably be layoffs
00:15:40by the end of the year.
00:15:41And junior translators like me
00:15:42will be first on the chopping block.
00:15:49President Hale,
00:15:50bitte geben Sie uns noch fünf Minuten.
00:15:55And you are?
00:15:57I'm Clara,
00:15:58junior translator at Graham Global.
00:16:00Junior translator?
00:16:02Yes.
00:16:03The one who always takes notes beside
00:16:05and serves coffee.
00:16:08Five minutes.
00:16:12Artikel 3 erzeit den Schondart
00:16:13für Uhrenschenszeitstänge
00:16:14von 6 auf 8 Ställe,

00:16:18in unseren taktischen Preisspiel

00:16:21nicht um 5 Prozent.
00:16:22Herr Sven,
00:16:22erklärten Sie mir bitte Ihre Rechnung.
00:16:24Da Graham Global
00:16:24über 1,000 in VA befiehlt,
00:16:26das von den Vorherzmannsteken
00:16:27der Freihandlikstem profifiert,

00:16:30der durch die Erdreisung

00:16:32kompensiert.
00:16:34Ethan Hale,
00:16:35legal director,
00:16:35lowered his head
00:16:36and flipped through the files,
00:16:37as if he was checking
00:16:38whether I was right.
00:16:39Where did you learn German?
00:16:41I lived in Berlin
00:16:42for a while.
00:16:43Your honor ethics
00:16:44are very precise.
00:16:45Thank you.
00:16:46And you said
00:16:47you were the junior level?
00:16:48Yes.
00:16:49Your five minutes are up.
00:16:51But I can give you 10 more.
00:16:53on one condition.
00:16:54From here on,
00:16:55you lead the negotiation.
00:17:00She can't!
00:17:01I said she leads.
00:17:03Or you can leave right now.
00:17:05Vanessa,
00:17:06should I take over?
00:17:07Then let's restart
00:17:08from the first part
00:17:09of the proposal.
00:17:10It wasn't because
00:17:11I had prepared in advance.
00:17:12While sorting those 50 pages
00:17:13of materials for Vanessa,
00:17:15I had memorized every word.
00:17:17Plus,
00:17:17I grew up in a diplomatic family.
00:17:19The basics of international trade
00:17:20are as natural to me
00:17:21as breathing.
00:17:32You speak Arabic too?
00:17:35A little.
00:17:35The Japanese Leaf-Sterre
00:17:37is 6% Günder,
00:17:39but the delivery time
00:17:40is stable.
00:17:41How do you decide?
00:17:42The original Japanese
00:17:43Aupsocks-Nummer
00:17:44lies JPK-T0427.
00:17:46I would not be the
00:17:47narrow Aupsock
00:17:48but the length
00:17:49of the risk.
00:17:51The framework works.
00:17:52I'll have my legal team
00:17:53follow up with you
00:17:54on the details.
00:17:57His hand was warm
00:17:58and strong
00:17:59and the grip
00:18:00was just right.
00:18:01Clara, right?
00:18:02Yes.
00:18:03You're wasted
00:18:04in the junior level.
00:18:08You lied to everyone.
00:18:11What?
00:18:12You said you only
00:18:13spoke Spanish.
00:18:19I do mainly work
00:18:20in Spanish.
00:18:21What you did in there today,
00:18:22that's what you call
00:18:23mainly working in Spanish?
00:18:24Your German
00:18:25is better than mine!
00:18:26Where did that Arabic
00:18:28come from?
00:18:28It's not even
00:18:29on your resume!
00:18:31Vanessa,
00:18:32the project was saved,
00:18:33wasn't it?
00:18:34You did this on purpose!
00:18:35You hid your skills
00:18:37just waiting for a chance
00:18:38like this to show off!
00:18:41What do you think
00:18:41will happen just because
00:18:42you impressed
00:18:43Ethan Hall once?
00:18:44When we're back
00:18:45at the company,
00:18:46you're still just
00:18:47that junior translator.
00:18:49Clara,
00:18:49just you wait.
00:18:54Suddenly,
00:18:55I felt a little tired.
00:18:59How did the negotiation go?
00:19:01Did Vanessa crash and burn?
00:19:02The project was saved.
00:19:04How was it saved?
00:19:05Wasn't she...
00:19:05Wait,
00:19:06was it you?
00:19:08I'll tell you
00:19:08when I get back.
00:19:10Clara,
00:19:10you finally made a move!
00:19:14Standing at the exit
00:19:15of the underground garage,
00:19:16I felt the autumn wind
00:19:17blowing in.
00:19:19It was a bit cold.
00:19:20I didn't want to show off.
00:19:23I really didn't.
00:19:24But I didn't want
00:19:25to lose my job either.
00:19:30Mr. Graham,
00:19:31Clara spoke out of turn
00:19:33during the negotiation
00:19:34and completely ignored
00:19:35the company hierarchy.
00:19:37Was the project saved?
00:19:39Yes,
00:19:39but that was...
00:19:40Then that's all that matters.
00:19:41The Halber deal
00:19:42is worth $40 million.
00:19:44If it had fallen through yesterday,
00:19:46the entire translation department
00:19:48could have packed up.
00:19:54One look at her face
00:19:55and I knew this wasn't over.
00:20:00Clara,
00:20:01how good is your German exactly?
00:20:03I can get by.
00:20:04Can get by?
00:20:05I heard you handled
00:20:06the entire negotiation in German
00:20:08without any problem
00:20:09at Halworth
00:20:10and you even used Arabic?
00:20:12My German just everyday level?
00:20:14Do you know if the company
00:20:15hired a multilinguished translator
00:20:17like you,
00:20:17the starting salary
00:20:19would be at least
00:20:20$96,000 a year?
00:20:21I have no issues
00:20:22with my current salary.
00:20:23Fine.
00:20:24Come to the meeting room
00:20:25at 2 this afternoon.
00:20:27We need you involved
00:20:28in the follow-up coordination
00:20:29for the Halworth project.
00:20:33Mr. Pierce!
00:20:35I'm the one in charge
00:20:36of the Halworth project!
00:20:37You'll remain in charge,
00:20:38but Clara will be involved
00:20:39in the coordination.
00:20:39That's Mr. Graham's decision.
00:20:44Happy now, Clara?
00:20:48Vanessa, I just...
00:20:48You just what?
00:20:49You think because you showed off
00:20:51once yesterday,
00:20:51you're on the same level
00:20:52as me now?
00:20:54That's not what I meant.
00:20:55I've been here
00:20:56for seven years.
00:20:57I worked my way up
00:20:59from intern
00:20:59to department leader.
00:21:01And you?
00:21:02A liar
00:21:03who's been hiding everything.
00:21:06Just you wait.
00:21:11Clara,
00:21:12Mr. Hale specifically
00:21:13requested you
00:21:14as the translator
00:21:14for the follow-up coordination.
00:21:16Starting today,
00:21:17you'll be temporarily transferred
00:21:19to the Halworth project team.
00:21:21Okay.
00:21:21But your position
00:21:22will remain junior
00:21:23and salary will stay the same.
00:21:25We'll evaluate it again
00:21:25after the project ends.
00:21:27Got it.
00:21:28Haleworth supply chain project
00:21:29is divided into three stages.
00:21:30The preliminary framework
00:21:31was already discussed yesterday.
00:21:33Next comes the translation
00:21:34of the detailed terms
00:21:35and contract documents.
00:21:36All files will need
00:21:37English, Spanish, German versions.
00:21:38Clara,
00:21:39can you handle
00:21:39all three language versions
00:21:40at the same time?
00:21:42Yes.
00:21:43Three languages?
00:21:44Since she joined this company,
00:21:45she has only ever worked
00:21:46as a Spanish translator.
00:21:47We don't even know
00:21:48her actual German level.
00:21:49What if something goes wrong?
00:21:51Yesterday's negotiation
00:21:52showed exactly
00:21:53what her level is.
00:21:54Any other questions?
00:22:01It took me two hours
00:22:03to finish the English version
00:22:04and another hour and a half
00:22:05to finish the Spanish version.
00:22:14You're translating that fast.
00:22:16Aren't you afraid
00:22:17of making mistakes?
00:22:18Nope.
00:22:19You better pray
00:22:20you don't make any.
00:22:30both the speed
00:22:31and quality
00:22:31exceeded expectations.
00:22:32Clara,
00:22:33what exactly
00:22:34have you been doing
00:22:34for the past three years?
00:22:45Hello?
00:22:45Clara?
00:22:47It was Ethan Hall.
00:22:49This is Ethan Hall
00:22:50from Halworth.
00:22:51Mr. Pyrrhus gave me
00:22:52your number.
00:22:52Mr. Hall,
00:22:53what can I do for you?
00:22:54I read the 62 pages
00:22:55you translated today.
00:22:56Was there any problem?
00:22:58No problem at all.
00:22:59It's the most accurate
00:23:00German business translation
00:23:01I've seen in the past
00:23:02three years.
00:23:03Thank you.
00:23:04You're not someone
00:23:05who belongs
00:23:05in a junior position.
00:23:08That is my current position.
00:23:09I know.
00:23:10That's why I'm curious.
00:23:13Halloworth has an internal
00:23:14meeting tomorrow afternoon.
00:23:15It involves partner
00:23:16selection for the
00:23:17Middle Eastern market.
00:23:18I need an Arabic
00:23:18speaking interpreter there.
00:23:20This should go
00:23:20through the company.
00:23:21I know.
00:23:22But I'm asking you
00:23:23directly.
00:23:23Would you like to come?
00:23:26Okay, I will.
00:23:30Clara,
00:23:31maybe you're going
00:23:32to be exposed
00:23:32after all.
00:23:33I knew this day
00:23:34would come eventually,
00:23:35but I just didn't
00:23:36expect it to come
00:23:37this soon.
00:23:41They were from
00:23:41a construction
00:23:42materials group
00:23:43in the UAE.
00:23:44The man leading
00:23:44the meeting
00:23:45looked about 50,
00:23:46wearing a white robe
00:23:47with a serious expression.
00:23:48A young Arab woman
00:23:49sat beside him
00:23:50should be his interpreter.
00:23:52You're here.
00:23:53Today I may need you
00:23:54to do an interpretation
00:23:54between Arabic and English.
00:23:56Okay.
00:23:56If Vanessa were here,
00:23:58she would probably ask,
00:23:59where did your
00:23:59ablishk even come from?
00:24:01The answer is,
00:24:02I lived in Cairo
00:24:03for a year and a half.
00:24:04During that time,
00:24:04my roommate was even
00:24:05Egyptian diplomat's daughter.
00:24:09Standard procedure.
00:24:10Fifteen minutes passed.
00:24:20I lowered my head
00:24:21and typed
00:24:22as if I were taking notes.
00:24:23Then I turned
00:24:24my laptop slightly
00:24:25so Ethan Hale
00:24:26could see the screen.
00:24:27I had typed
00:24:27one line in English.
00:24:29They said they wanted
00:24:29a price down by 20 cent.
00:24:31If that doesn't work,
00:24:32they'll switch suppliers.
00:24:33Ethan Hale's eyes
00:24:34stayed on the screen
00:24:35for one second.
00:24:36His expression
00:24:37didn't change at all,
00:24:38but in the negotiation
00:24:39that followed,
00:24:39his strategy
00:24:40clearly shifted.
00:24:43Your Arabic is excellent.
00:24:45Not that good.
00:24:47Just the daily level.
00:24:48You heard what he said
00:24:49to his interpreter
00:24:49just now.
00:24:51Then you warned me.
00:24:52I just thought
00:24:52the information
00:24:53might be useful
00:24:53for the negotiation.
00:24:55Without that warning
00:24:56from you,
00:24:56this deal would have cost us
00:24:58at least eight million dollars
00:24:59today.
00:25:00Clara,
00:25:00how many languages
00:25:01do you speak?
00:25:02German, French,
00:25:03Japanese,
00:25:04Korean, Spanish,
00:25:05Arabic and Italian.
00:25:06Eight in total
00:25:07plus English
00:25:08and you're in junior level
00:25:09translator at Graham Global.
00:25:10Think that makes sense?
00:25:11It was my choice.
00:25:12Would you be interested
00:25:13in coming to
00:25:14Hellworth International
00:25:15Commerce Group?
00:25:15I can start you
00:25:16at $400,000 a year
00:25:17if you're willing to head
00:25:18the International Business
00:25:19Department.
00:25:20There's no upper limit.
00:25:22Mr. Hale,
00:25:23thank you for the offer.
00:25:24I'm not planning to change
00:25:25jobs for now.
00:25:25For now?
00:25:26For now.
00:25:27You can change your mind
00:25:28any time.
00:25:29A pure black background.
00:25:30Only one line of text
00:25:31Ethan Hale and a phone number.
00:25:32It didn't even say
00:25:33President of
00:25:34Halloworth International.
00:25:35This kind of card
00:25:36is usually given to people
00:25:38who already need to know
00:25:38who you are.
00:25:46What are you doing?
00:25:49I was passing by.
00:25:50Saw your computer was on.
00:25:52It was off when I left.
00:25:53You went to Hallworth
00:25:54again today?
00:25:54Ethan Hale asked you
00:25:55to go, didn't he?
00:25:55It was needed
00:25:56for the project
00:25:56coordination.
00:25:57What kind of project
00:25:58needs you to interpret Arabic?
00:25:59You never said
00:26:00you were that good at Arabic.
00:26:00What else are you hiding?
00:26:01Vanessa,
00:26:02what did you see
00:26:02on my computer?
00:26:03I didn't see anything.
00:26:07She had opened
00:26:08my personal folder.
00:26:10What was inside?
00:26:11Some translation exercise.
00:26:13Casual translations
00:26:13in French, Japanese,
00:26:15and Korean.
00:26:15Things I did
00:26:16when I was bored.
00:26:16If she saw those...
00:26:18Clara,
00:26:19what exactly did you do
00:26:20at Hallworth today?
00:26:21Vanessa was losing her mind
00:26:22in the office all afternoon.
00:26:23She went through your computer.
00:26:24I know.
00:26:25You know?
00:26:25Why aren't you reporting her?
00:26:27Report what?
00:26:27I don't have proof.
00:26:28You are way too...
00:26:29Forget it.
00:26:30I heard something today.
00:26:31Do you want to know?
00:26:31Go on.
00:26:32There's something going on
00:26:33between Vanessa Reed
00:26:34and Jason Pierce.
00:26:35What do you mean?
00:26:36I handle reimbursement forms
00:26:37in Atom.
00:26:38Over the past six months,
00:26:39Vanessa has gone out alone
00:26:40with Jason Pierce
00:26:40to talk about work
00:26:4117 times.
00:26:42Every single time
00:26:43it was at that hotel
00:26:44on the west side of the city.
00:26:45Think about that.
00:26:46That has nothing to do with me.
00:26:48How does it have
00:26:49nothing to do with you?
00:26:50Jason Persis made
00:26:51Vanessa department leader
00:26:52because of that relationship.
00:26:56The message basically said
00:26:57the company had found
00:26:58that some employees
00:26:59had failed to provide
00:27:00truthful information
00:27:01about their personal skills
00:27:02when they were hired.
00:27:04All employees were required
00:27:05to update their profiles
00:27:06within a week.
00:27:07Anyone found to have
00:27:08concealed or falsified information
00:27:10would be dealt with
00:27:11as a violation
00:27:12of company policy.
00:27:13Of course I knew.
00:27:14When Vanessa went
00:27:15through my computer,
00:27:16she found those
00:27:17multilingual translation exercises.
00:27:19she must have gone
00:27:20to Jason Pierce.
00:27:21The look on her face
00:27:22was completely different
00:27:23from yesterday.
00:27:24It wasn't anger.
00:27:25It was the calmness
00:27:26of someone who thought
00:27:27she had the situation
00:27:28under control.
00:27:28Clara, you saw that email, right?
00:27:31So what?
00:27:32Are you planning
00:27:33to update your profile?
00:27:34I'm still thinking about it.
00:27:36I suggest you do it soon.
00:27:38If they find out
00:27:39you hid something,
00:27:40that'll be a very serious matter.
00:27:42Thank you for the reminder,
00:27:43Vanessa.
00:27:47A pure black background.
00:27:50One line of text.
00:27:53On the back,
00:27:54there was a handwritten line,
00:27:56very small.
00:27:58I hadn't noticed it before.
00:28:01It hadn't come to that yet.
00:28:05There are two things
00:28:06on the agenda today.
00:28:07First,
00:28:08the Haleworth International
00:28:09Commerce Group LTD project.
00:28:12The initial handover
00:28:13has been completed.
00:28:14and Mr. Hale is very
00:28:15satisatisfied with the quality
00:28:16of our translation work.
00:28:18The project bonus
00:28:19will be paid out next month.
00:28:20Second,
00:28:21about the employee profile update.
00:28:24Mr. Graham,
00:28:24I have a question.
00:28:25Go ahead.
00:28:27If an employee
00:28:27deliberately hides
00:28:28their skills
00:28:29and caused the company
00:28:30to make mistakes
00:28:30in irraking human resources,
00:28:32does that count
00:28:32as a violation?
00:28:42Then let me give an example.
00:28:44Say an employee
00:28:45only lists Spanish
00:28:46on her profile,
00:28:46but in fact,
00:28:47she is fluent
00:28:47in multiple languages.
00:28:48The company assigns
00:28:49her position and salary
00:28:50according on the standard
00:28:50for a Spanish translator
00:28:51and she never raises
00:28:52any objection.
00:28:53Over three years,
00:28:54without knowing the truth,
00:28:54the company loses out
00:28:55on a huge amount
00:28:56of usable human resources.
00:28:57This kind of behavior...
00:28:58Enough.
00:29:00Vanessa,
00:29:01get to the point.
00:29:02The person you're talking
00:29:03about is me, right?
00:29:05So what?
00:29:06Yes.
00:29:06I only listed Spanish
00:29:07on my profile
00:29:08because the position
00:29:09I applied for
00:29:09was junior Spanish translator.
00:29:11I have never made a mistake
00:29:12in during the work.
00:29:13As for the other languages...
00:29:15As for the other languages,
00:29:16you hid your ability.
00:29:17You let the company
00:29:17spend high salaries
00:29:18hiring people
00:29:19for the German,
00:29:19French,
00:29:20and Arabic teams
00:29:20when you alone
00:29:21could do all of their jobs.
00:29:22Isn't that damaging
00:29:23the company's interest?
00:29:24If I alone
00:29:24can replace all of them,
00:29:26then where does that leave you?
00:29:27Vanessa,
00:29:28This has nothing
00:29:28to do with my place.
00:29:29It does.
00:29:30Because what you're
00:29:31really worried about
00:29:31isn't the company's interests.
00:29:32It's the fact that you found out
00:29:33I'm more capable than you.
00:29:34And now your position
00:29:35doesn't feel so secure anymore.
00:29:37You.
00:29:37I'll say it again.
00:29:39Not listing on my profile
00:29:41does not mean hiding.
00:29:42The skills section
00:29:43does not say
00:29:43all skills must be listed.
00:29:45I chose to show
00:29:46only the skills required
00:29:47for the job I applied for.
00:29:48That is my right.
00:30:09Fine, then let me ask
00:30:10another question.
00:30:11Mr. Graham,
00:30:11the bonus for the
00:30:12Halewith project
00:30:13is distributed
00:30:13among the team members, right?
00:30:15Yes.
00:30:15Clara was added to the team
00:30:16later on a temporary basis.
00:30:18The part she took in
00:30:19was just translation handover.
00:30:21She wasn't on
00:30:22the original team list.
00:30:23So when the bonus
00:30:24is distributed,
00:30:25she shouldn't receive
00:30:25the full amount.
00:30:26That was a vicious move.
00:30:28She stopped attacking me
00:30:29over the hidden skills issue
00:30:30because she knew
00:30:30she couldn't win that fight.
00:30:32So she switched
00:30:32to money instead.
00:30:34Well,
00:30:34Vanessa does have a point.
00:30:36Clara joined
00:30:37halfway through.
00:30:38Then Hale
00:30:39specifically requested me.
00:30:44Mr. Hale,
00:30:45what brings you here?
00:30:47I came to deliver
00:30:48the contract.
00:30:49I heard your meeting.
00:30:50The door wasn't
00:30:51fully closed.
00:30:52The core negotiation
00:30:53of this project
00:30:54was completed by Clara.
00:30:55On the day we first met,
00:30:56she saved the entire
00:30:56conversation in the
00:30:57final five minutes.
00:30:58During the meeting
00:30:59with the UAE client,
00:31:00she used Arup to win me
00:31:00$8 million in profit margin.
00:31:02How your company
00:31:03disputes bonuses
00:31:04is your business.
00:31:04But I suggest you figure out
00:31:05who really is the key person
00:31:07in this project.
00:31:09One more thing.
00:31:10There is a clause
00:31:11in this contract.
00:31:12From now on,
00:31:13all translation handover work
00:31:14for Crown Wealth
00:31:15will be handled by Clara.
00:31:16If she is no longer
00:31:17at White Global,
00:31:18this contract automatically
00:31:19becomes void.
00:31:20Mr. Hale,
00:31:21you mean,
00:31:21I've made myself very clear.
00:31:23This contract is worth
00:31:24$80 million a year.
00:31:25The handover translator
00:31:27is Clara.
00:31:27If you replace her,
00:31:29the contract is void.
00:31:31Clara.
00:31:32Mr. Graham?
00:31:33Starting today,
00:31:34you are no longer
00:31:35on the junior level.
00:31:36Then,
00:31:37which level I'm in?
00:31:38Deputy Director
00:31:39of the Translation Department.
00:31:41As for your salary,
00:31:42we'll discuss it privately.
00:31:44Mr. Graham!
00:31:45She's only been here
00:31:46for three years!
00:31:47I've been here
00:31:47for seven!
00:31:48Vanessa,
00:31:49sit down.
00:31:51Tu mérites mieux que ça.
00:31:56She actually speaks
00:31:57eight languages?
00:31:57She stayed in the junior level
00:31:58for three years?
00:31:59How has that happened?
00:32:00Didn't you heard
00:32:00Ethan Hall's contract?
00:32:01He specifically asked for her
00:32:03$80 million.
00:32:04Vanessa's face looks amazing.
00:32:05I mean the color.
00:32:08That line in French,
00:32:09you understood it?
00:32:10I did.
00:32:11Then what do you think?
00:32:12I'm thinking about it.
00:32:13Take your time.
00:32:19Clara,
00:32:20let's have a chat.
00:32:22You hid for three years
00:32:24and now everything
00:32:25is out in the open.
00:32:26Do you really think
00:32:27your life here
00:32:28will be easy from now on?
00:32:29Are you threatening me?
00:32:31I'm reminding you.
00:32:32Do you think
00:32:33becoming Deputy Director
00:32:34solves everything?
00:32:35The Translation Department's
00:32:36connections,
00:32:37client relationships,
00:32:38and internal resources
00:32:39are all in my hands.
00:32:41You're a newcomer
00:32:42who just got promoted.
00:32:44You won't be able
00:32:45to handle any of it.
00:32:46What are you trying to say?
00:32:47Give me your position.
00:32:49You can keep working
00:32:50as the handover translator
00:32:52and take your project bonus.
00:32:54I'll manage the department
00:32:55and you handle the business.
00:32:57We both get what we want.
00:32:59What if I don't want to?
00:33:01Then I'll let you know
00:33:03ability isn't the only thing
00:33:04that matters in reality.
00:33:10It tasted awful.
00:33:12Vanessa was right.
00:33:14Ability isn't the only thing
00:33:15that matters.
00:33:16But there is one thing
00:33:17she's wrong.
00:33:18Thinking she was the only one
00:33:20who had the connection.
00:33:23On Monday,
00:33:24something major happened
00:33:25at Graham Global.
00:33:26The company had received
00:33:27a new project,
00:33:28a fashion brand
00:33:29from Lyon, France.
00:33:31It required a full set
00:33:32of French to English
00:33:33brand translation
00:33:34and market localization services.
00:33:37Jason Perry had brought
00:33:38this project back
00:33:39through an old client.
00:33:40The amount was not huge,
00:33:42but it mattered a lot
00:33:43for the company's
00:33:44brand expansion.
00:33:45The problem was
00:33:46one of the two translators
00:33:48on the French team
00:33:48had just resigned last month.
00:33:50The other was
00:33:51on maternity leave.
00:33:53There's no one left
00:33:53on the French team.
00:33:55What are we supposed
00:33:56to do with this project?
00:33:59Clara, what level
00:34:00is your French?
00:34:02It works.
00:34:03What do you mean by that?
00:34:04Can you handle
00:34:05high-end French brand
00:34:06localization?
00:34:07Yes.
00:34:09Good.
00:34:10Then you're taking
00:34:10in this project.
00:34:12The director
00:34:13of the French side
00:34:14personally called
00:34:15Daniel Graham
00:34:16after looked through.
00:34:19Is your translator French?
00:34:21The language feels
00:34:22incredibly authentic.
00:34:23Yes.
00:34:24We have a dedicated
00:34:25French translation team.
00:34:29Clara, the French side
00:34:31is extremely satisfied.
00:34:32They've added
00:34:33another project,
00:34:34the full translation
00:34:34of their product manuals.
00:34:36It's worth
00:34:37three million dollars.
00:34:38Okay.
00:34:39I'll approve
00:34:40your project bonus
00:34:40for this month separately.
00:34:42Thank you,
00:34:42Mr. Graham.
00:34:47Please note,
00:34:48everyone.
00:34:49Project assignments
00:34:50in the translation
00:34:51department
00:34:51should follow
00:34:52departmental procedures.
00:34:53No one should skip
00:34:54the leader
00:34:54and take projects directly.
00:35:01Clara,
00:35:02do you really speak
00:35:03eight languages?
00:35:04Yes.
00:35:05Do you know
00:35:05how rare someone
00:35:06like you is
00:35:07in the translation industry?
00:35:08I know.
00:35:09Then why did you...
00:35:12Forget it.
00:35:13There is something
00:35:13I should tell you.
00:35:14Vanessa has a real
00:35:15problem with you.
00:35:16She has brought it up
00:35:16with me several times already.
00:35:18Yes, I heard.
00:35:19You better be careful.
00:35:20She has certain...
00:35:23connections in the company.
00:35:24Mr. Pierce,
00:35:25about you and Vanessa...
00:35:27What about us?
00:35:28Nothing.
00:35:33Clara,
00:35:33Vanessa and I
00:35:34don't have the kind
00:35:35of relationship
00:35:35you might be thinking of.
00:35:37She got promoted
00:35:37to team lead
00:35:38because she had been here
00:35:39long enough
00:35:40and knew the business well.
00:35:42That's all.
00:35:43I thought of the 17
00:35:44hotel reimbursement claims
00:35:46Mia had mentioned.
00:35:47Human nature
00:35:48really is an interesting thing.
00:35:51The way people
00:35:52looked at me
00:35:53was strange.
00:35:54It wasn't admiration
00:35:55or envy.
00:35:56It was more like...
00:35:58avoidance.
00:35:59Something happened.
00:36:01What happened?
00:36:04Vanessa reported you
00:36:05to Daniel Graham.
00:36:06Reported me for what?
00:36:07She said you privately
00:36:09leaked Graham Global's
00:36:10internal pricing strategy
00:36:11to Haleworth
00:36:12while you were translating
00:36:13for them.
00:36:14That's a false accusation.
00:36:15I know.
00:36:17But she has evidence.
00:36:18What evidence?
00:36:20She said she found a file
00:36:21on your computer.
00:36:22Screenshots of a chat
00:36:23between you
00:36:24and Ethan Hale's
00:36:25assistant,
00:36:25Frank Young.
00:36:26The chat mentions
00:36:27Graham Global's
00:36:28internal pricing.
00:36:29There is no such file
00:36:30on my computer.
00:36:31She says there is.
00:36:32And she already showed it
00:36:33to Daniel Graham.
00:36:34Daniel wants you
00:36:35in his office
00:36:35tomorrow morning
00:36:36to explain yourself.
00:36:39That so-called
00:36:40chat record?
00:36:41It's fake.
00:36:42I sneaked a look at it.
00:36:46The chat time
00:36:46was last Wednesday
00:36:47at 2 p.m.
00:36:48But you were
00:36:49at the department meeting
00:36:50last Wednesday afternoon.
00:36:52Rare one can prove it.
00:36:53Then how did she...
00:36:54She edited the time
00:36:55in the chat.
00:36:56Photoshopped it.
00:36:57But she forgot one thing.
00:36:58There's a battery indicator
00:36:59in the top right corner
00:37:00of the screenshot.
00:37:01That battery display
00:37:02doesn't match
00:37:03your phone model.
00:37:04You use a Samsung.
00:37:06That screenshot
00:37:06is from an iPhone.
00:37:09Mia,
00:37:10I need you to do me
00:37:11a favor.
00:37:11Name it.
00:37:12You're in administration.
00:37:14Can you pull
00:37:14the attendance records
00:37:15and meeting room usage
00:37:17records from last
00:37:18Wednesday afternoon?
00:37:19Yes.
00:37:20Pull them.
00:37:21Also,
00:37:21Vanessa's reimbursement
00:37:22records,
00:37:23the 17 hotel ones,
00:37:24do you have them?
00:37:25I do.
00:37:26Are you finally
00:37:26going to use them?
00:37:27Not to attack her,
00:37:28but to protect myself.
00:37:29If she comes after me,
00:37:31I need Daniel Graham
00:37:32to know her credibility
00:37:32has a problem.
00:37:33Got it.
00:37:41Every file had a timestamp
00:37:43and sending record.
00:37:44My real chat history
00:37:46with Frank Young
00:37:47was all on Teams
00:37:48with server backups.
00:37:50Vanessa could fake screenshots,
00:37:54but she couldn't change
00:37:55server data.
00:38:02I heard you were reported.
00:38:04News travels fast.
00:38:06Frank told me.
00:38:07Do you need help?
00:38:08No.
00:38:09I can handle it myself.
00:38:11Are you sure?
00:38:13Yes.
00:38:14fine.
00:38:15If you can't handle it,
00:38:17just tell me.
00:38:20It won't.
00:38:28Clara,
00:38:30Vanessa reported that
00:38:31you privately leaked
00:38:33our pricing strategy
00:38:34to Halewell
00:38:34while you were translating
00:38:35for them.
00:38:36These screenshots
00:38:37are the evidence
00:38:38she provided.
00:38:38is there anything
00:38:39you want to say?
00:38:40It was exactly
00:38:41as Mia had described.
00:38:42My profile picture,
00:38:44my name,
00:38:44a conversation
00:38:45with Frank Young.
00:38:46The content did involve
00:38:48Graham Global's pricing,
00:38:49but the wording
00:38:50was extremely unnatural,
00:38:51like it had been made up
00:38:52by someone who didn't
00:38:53understand formal
00:38:54business conversation.
00:38:56These screenshots
00:38:57are fake.
00:38:57Of course you would say that.
00:38:59I can prove it.
00:39:02This is my full chat history
00:39:03with Frank Young.
00:39:04It has server backups
00:39:06and timestamps.
00:39:07Please compare them.
00:39:11The times don't match.
00:39:13The screenshots
00:39:13Vanessa provided
00:39:14show that the conversation
00:39:15happened last Wednesday
00:39:16at 2 p.m.
00:39:18But the team's records
00:39:19show that Clara
00:39:20and Frank Young
00:39:21had no conversation
00:39:22at that time.
00:39:23She could have deleted.
00:39:24Teams has server backups.
00:39:25Even if an employee
00:39:26deletes the chat
00:39:27on their end,
00:39:27the server still keeps it.
00:39:28Also,
00:39:29from 2 p.m.
00:39:30to 4 p.m.
00:39:30last Wednesday,
00:39:31I was attending
00:39:32the department meeting
00:39:32in the company.
00:39:33The attendance
00:39:34and meeting room
00:39:35booking records
00:39:36can prove it.
00:39:38One more thing.
00:39:39This screenshot
00:39:40is from an iOS interface.
00:39:42I use Android.
00:39:44Vanessa,
00:39:45your phone is an iPhone,
00:39:45isn't it?
00:39:46That proves nothing.
00:39:47Maybe you changed phones.
00:39:49I've been here
00:39:50for three years.
00:39:51The device-binding records
00:39:53from IT
00:39:54show that I have
00:39:55never used an iPhone.
00:39:58Vanessa,
00:39:59where did these
00:40:00screenshots come from?
00:40:02I found them
00:40:03on her computer.
00:40:04After you went
00:40:05through my computer
00:40:05last week,
00:40:06I reset the password.
00:40:08These screenshots
00:40:09were never on my computer.
00:40:11I...
00:40:12You never saw
00:40:12these screenshots
00:40:13on my computer
00:40:14because they never
00:40:15existed in the first place.
00:40:17You made them yourself.
00:40:19Vanessa,
00:40:20do you have anything
00:40:21else to explain?
00:40:22Mr. Pierce,
00:40:24say something.
00:40:25Vanessa,
00:40:25you went too far
00:40:26this time.
00:40:28Faking evidence
00:40:29to falsely accuse
00:40:30a colleague
00:40:30is a serious violation.
00:40:32Vanessa,
00:40:33your position
00:40:33as the department leader
00:40:34is revoked immediately.
00:40:35Mr. Graham!
00:40:36Also,
00:40:36your year-end performance rating
00:40:37will be downgraded
00:40:38by one level.
00:40:39If anything like this
00:40:39happens again,
00:40:40your employment
00:40:41will be terminated
00:40:41immediately.
00:40:43Clara,
00:40:43are you happy now?
00:40:44Vanessa,
00:40:45from beginning to end,
00:40:46you were the one
00:40:46causing trouble for me.
00:40:48I never went after you first.
00:40:49Because your very existence
00:40:51is a provocation.
00:40:52You speak eight languages
00:40:54and you hid it
00:40:55for three years.
00:40:56You made my seven years
00:40:57of hard work
00:40:58look like a joke.
00:41:02On the surface,
00:41:04no one in the translation
00:41:05department said much,
00:41:06but the group chat
00:41:07had completely blown up.
00:41:09She should have been removed
00:41:10ages ago.
00:41:11Her translation skills
00:41:12were just average.
00:41:13She only got there
00:41:14through connections.
00:41:15You guys didn't know?
00:41:16Every translation
00:41:17she submitted
00:41:18had been corrected
00:41:19by Clara.
00:41:20What?
00:41:21I am serious.
00:41:22I have seen
00:41:23the proof-feeding records.
00:41:24Then how many
00:41:25has Clara corrected
00:41:25over the past three years?
00:41:27A conservative estimate?
00:41:28Over a hundred.
00:41:33Excuse me.
00:41:34Which one of you
00:41:35is Clara?
00:41:36Me.
00:41:37Hello.
00:41:37I am Victoria Hayes,
00:41:39a producer
00:41:39at Harbor Hell Media.
00:41:41We are preparing
00:41:41a large-scale
00:41:42international documentary project
00:41:44and we need
00:41:45a multilingual
00:41:45translation consultant.
00:41:48How did you find me?
00:41:52industry recommendation.
00:41:53The Hale Hoard project
00:41:55and the French brand project
00:41:56you worked on recently
00:41:57have attracted some attention
00:41:58in the field.
00:41:58Harbor Light Media,
00:42:00a top-tier production company.
00:42:02Mrs. Hayes,
00:42:03what kind of project
00:42:03is it exactly?
00:42:04A documentary
00:42:05about the Strait of Jerala
00:42:06and global trade.
00:42:07We need simultaneous
00:42:08interpretation
00:42:09and subtitle proof-feeding
00:42:10across five languages.
00:42:12English,
00:42:13French,
00:42:14Italian,
00:42:14Spanish,
00:42:15and Arabic.
00:42:17We contacted
00:42:18three translation companies
00:42:20but none of them
00:42:21could provide one person
00:42:22who covers all five languages.
00:42:25Then someone told me
00:42:26that Graham Global
00:42:27has a girl
00:42:28who speaks eight languages.
00:42:29Who told you that?
00:42:31Ethan Hale.
00:42:32He is one of the investors
00:42:34in this project.
00:42:35Ethan Hale again.
00:42:37What is the consulting fee
00:42:39for this project?
00:42:39$50,000 a month.
00:42:43The estimated period
00:42:44is three months.
00:42:46$150,000.
00:42:47That is about six years
00:42:49of my salary
00:42:50at Graham Global.
00:42:51If you take it,
00:42:52you will need to travel
00:42:53for two months.
00:42:55The Middle East
00:42:56and Europe.
00:42:58A bank account in Zurich,
00:43:01a property in Munich,
00:43:03and a small apartment
00:43:05in the 16th
00:43:06arrondissement of Paris.
00:43:08The total value
00:43:09was close to $10,000,000.
00:43:11Language was the thing
00:43:13my parents loved
00:43:14most in their lives.
00:43:15My mother used to say,
00:43:16language is the best bridge.
00:43:19My father said,
00:43:20if you can understand
00:43:21a person in their mother tongue,
00:43:23you can understand their heart.
00:43:24They carved the languages
00:43:26of the world
00:43:26into my blood.
00:43:27Then they left.
00:43:28So I hid those languages away,
00:43:30along with my memories of them.
00:43:32Because every time
00:43:33I speak one of those languages,
00:43:35I remember what they looked like
00:43:36when they were by my side
00:43:38teaching it to me.
00:43:39German was in Berlin.
00:43:40My dad taught it to me
00:43:42while taking me for ice cream
00:43:43in front of the Bransbors gate.
00:43:46French was in Paris.
00:43:47My mother read
00:43:49ma poisson to me
00:43:50in the original French
00:43:51by the Sennine.
00:43:52Arabic was in Cairo.
00:43:54The three of us
00:43:55were on a boat
00:43:55on the Nile.
00:43:56My father counted the stars
00:43:58while teaching me
00:43:59how to say,
00:44:03every language
00:44:04was a memory.
00:44:05and I didn't want
00:44:06to open those memories.
00:44:07But I...
00:44:12Has Ms. Hayes
00:44:13from Harbor Life
00:44:13reached out to you?
00:44:14She has.
00:44:16Why did you introduce
00:44:17this to me?
00:44:18Because you need
00:44:19to step out of it.
00:44:20You do not know me.
00:44:23I know your parents
00:44:24were diplomats.
00:44:25I know your background.
00:44:26You investigated me?
00:44:27Before I decide
00:44:28who to work with,
00:44:29I learn about them.
00:44:31Clara,
00:44:32your parents
00:44:33were remarkable people.
00:44:35You do not need
00:44:36to lock yourself
00:44:37in a corner
00:44:37just to escape
00:44:38their shadow.
00:44:39Go take a look
00:44:40at Harbor Life's project.
00:44:41The Strait of Jurada,
00:44:42the bridge between
00:44:43Europe and Africa.
00:44:44Maybe you should
00:44:45see it for yourself.
00:44:47Maybe he was right.
00:44:51Mr. Graham,
00:44:52I need to take
00:44:53two months off.
00:44:56For what?
00:44:57A documentary project
00:44:58wants me as
00:44:59a translation consultant.
00:45:00I need to travel
00:45:01to the Middle East
00:45:02and Europe.
00:45:03Two months?
00:45:04What about
00:45:05Halworth's project?
00:45:06I have already
00:45:07completed all the
00:45:08translation drafts
00:45:09for Halworth's
00:45:09second phase.
00:45:10The third phase
00:45:11will not start
00:45:11until three months
00:45:12later.
00:45:14Are you resigning?
00:45:15I will come back.
00:45:17Fine.
00:45:18I will approve
00:45:19two months for you.
00:45:21Thank you.
00:45:23Vanessa.
00:45:24Vanessa had been
00:45:25transferred to
00:45:26administration as a
00:45:27clerk.
00:45:27The old shine
00:45:28was gone.
00:45:29You are going on
00:45:30a business trip?
00:45:31Mm-hmm.
00:45:31For how long?
00:45:32Two months?
00:45:33You know,
00:45:34when I joined the
00:45:34Graham seven years
00:45:35ago,
00:45:36I only spoke
00:45:37one language,
00:45:37too.
00:45:41Later,
00:45:42I learned French
00:45:43and Spanish
00:45:44while working here.
00:45:45I went from intern
00:45:46to the department
00:45:47leader.
00:45:50I thought I had
00:45:51worked really hard.
00:45:52You did work hard.
00:45:53But without doing
00:45:54anything,
00:45:54you were already
00:45:55above me.
00:45:56Eight languages.
00:45:57What gives you
00:45:58the right?
00:45:59My parents.
00:46:00They paid for it
00:46:01with their lives.
00:46:04That was the last
00:46:05time we spoke
00:46:06in this building.
00:46:07At the airport,
00:46:08I unexpectedly
00:46:09ran into someone.
00:46:10Ethan Hale.
00:46:12He was wearing
00:46:13casual clothes.
00:46:14It was the first
00:46:15time I had ever
00:46:16seen him out
00:46:17of a suit.
00:46:18Clara?
00:46:19What are you
00:46:20doing here?
00:46:21Halivert has
00:46:21business in Dubai.
00:46:23What a coincidence.
00:46:24Yeah.
00:46:25What a coincidence.
00:46:30Business class
00:46:31is pretty empty.
00:46:32Why are you
00:46:33sitting here?
00:46:33I bought an
00:46:34economy ticket.
00:46:37About the inheritance
00:46:38your parents left you.
00:46:40You even know
00:46:40about that?
00:46:41The law firm
00:46:42has worked with us
00:46:43before.
00:46:44Attorney Wills
00:46:44once mentioned
00:46:45a client who
00:46:45refused to inherit
00:46:46an estate.
00:46:47The industry
00:46:48is only so big.
00:46:49So the whole world
00:46:49knows?
00:46:51Not the whole world.
00:46:52Just me caring
00:46:53about it.
00:46:54I turned to look
00:46:55at him,
00:46:55and my heart
00:46:56skipped a beat.
00:46:57The sunlight
00:46:58in Dubai
00:46:58was completely
00:46:59different from
00:47:00back home.
00:47:00Dry.
00:47:01Fierce.
00:47:02Almost as if
00:47:03it could burn
00:47:03straight through
00:47:04your shadow.
00:47:05You are Clara,
00:47:06the one who
00:47:06speaks eight
00:47:07languages?
00:47:08Yes.
00:47:09Let's do a test.
00:47:10Translate a section
00:47:11for me first.
00:47:13Martin handed me
00:47:14an Arabic interview
00:47:15outline.
00:47:15Okay.
00:47:16Architecture
00:47:17boasts highly
00:47:17distinctive features
00:47:18and stands as a
00:47:19precious treasure
00:47:20of Middle Eastern
00:47:20civilizations.
00:47:21Its most iconic
00:47:22design elements
00:47:23are domes and
00:47:24arches.
00:47:25Finally,
00:47:26she is the one.
00:47:27She is better
00:47:28than those three
00:47:29translation companies
00:47:30combined.
00:47:31Martin,
00:47:32she has not even
00:47:33given us a quote yet.
00:47:34No need.
00:47:35It's her.
00:47:36The first stop
00:47:37was the antique
00:47:38market in Old Dubai.
00:47:39The documentary
00:47:40was going to cover
00:47:41how the Strait of Hormas
00:47:42connects global trade.
00:47:44There was a Persian
00:47:45carpet shop here
00:47:46that had been
00:47:46open for 40 years,
00:47:48and the owner
00:47:48was a third generation
00:47:50Iranian merchant.
00:48:07In Casablanca,
00:48:08I interviewed
00:48:09a historian
00:48:10in French.
00:48:11The Strait of Blolotre
00:48:12is not simply
00:48:13a maritime passage
00:48:14but a form
00:48:14of dialogue.
00:48:15People exited
00:48:16of different cultures
00:48:16and diverse cultures
00:48:18are in a Strait.
00:48:19Even if they speak
00:48:20different languages,
00:48:21their aspiration
00:48:22to reach the hearts
00:48:23of the world
00:48:23by the Comars
00:48:23was identical.
00:48:24He said,
00:48:25On the Strait of Gibraltar,
00:48:27shipping and trade
00:48:28are a way
00:48:28of having a dialogue.
00:48:30People may come
00:48:31from different backgrounds
00:48:32and speak different languages
00:48:33but their hearts
00:48:34are connected.
00:48:34When I translated
00:48:35that sentence
00:48:36into English,
00:48:37my voice was
00:48:38a little hossied
00:48:39because my father
00:48:40had said almost
00:48:41the exact same thing.
00:48:43Okay.
00:48:44That night,
00:48:45the team had dinner
00:48:46at the hotel.
00:48:48Clara,
00:48:48Mr. Hale asked
00:48:49whether your work
00:48:50went smoothly today?
00:48:51It went smoothly.
00:48:52No need to worry
00:48:53about me.
00:48:54Mr. Hale asked me
00:48:55to tell you
00:48:56that he is in the office
00:48:56on the 58th floor
00:48:57of this hotel.
00:48:58If you need anything,
00:48:59contact him anytime.
00:49:04Hello?
00:49:07Have you eaten?
00:49:09I am eating now.
00:49:10The food here
00:49:12may not really
00:49:12suit our taste.
00:49:14If you want something else...
00:49:15Mr. Hale,
00:49:16why are you telling me this?
00:49:19Because I care about you.
00:49:22I do not need
00:49:22your concern,
00:49:23thank you.
00:49:24Okay.
00:49:25No more concern.
00:49:26Good night.
00:49:27Over the next two weeks,
00:49:28we went a lot of places.
00:49:30On the flight
00:49:31from Istanbul to Cairo,
00:49:32I received an email.
00:49:34Sender,
00:49:34Vanessa.
00:49:36Subject,
00:49:36no subject.
00:49:37After you left,
00:49:38they laid off
00:49:39the French team
00:49:39and the German team
00:49:40because Daniel Graham
00:49:41said you alone
00:49:42would enough.
00:49:43Seven people lost
00:49:44three jobs
00:49:44because of you.
00:49:45Are you happy now?
00:49:46I looked at the email
00:49:47and deleted it.
00:49:48Almost at the same time,
00:49:49Mia's message came in.
00:49:51Do not believe Vanessa.
00:49:53The French and German teams
00:49:54were cut
00:49:55because they were already
00:49:56at the bottom in performance.
00:49:58It has nothing to do with you.
00:50:00She is just trying
00:50:01to mess with you.
00:50:02I know.
00:50:03Are you okay?
00:50:03I am fine.
00:50:06Cairo,
00:50:07the third stop
00:50:08of the documentary.
00:50:10I lived here for a while.
00:50:12When the plane landed,
00:50:14I looked out
00:50:15at that familiar city
00:50:16and my heart started
00:50:17beating a little faster.
00:50:19In Cairo,
00:50:20the team was filming
00:50:21a section
00:50:21about the history of trade
00:50:23between the Middle East
00:50:24and Europe.
00:50:25They needed
00:50:26Arabic interpretation.
00:50:38He said,
00:50:39there is a private
00:50:40collector in Cairo.
00:50:42The owner of this
00:50:43session was a diplomat.
00:50:45He was lost five years ago.
00:50:47His death
00:50:48of the session
00:50:49as the earth
00:50:49has never been released.
00:50:53My name is Malika Diplomacy?
00:50:55Ben,
00:50:56Michael Bennett.
00:50:58Michael Bennett.
00:51:00That was my father's name.
00:51:04After the interview,
00:51:05I sat alone
00:51:05on the streets of Cairo.
00:51:07I looked up at the sky.
00:51:09It was gray.
00:51:10I still remembered
00:51:11the pistachio flavor
00:51:12ice cream that year.
00:51:19Hello?
00:51:20You arrived in Cairo?
00:51:22Yes.
00:51:23What happened?
00:51:24Your voice sounds off.
00:51:26Nothing.
00:51:27I flew to Cairo
00:51:28this afternoon.
00:51:29If you have time...
00:51:30Why do you always
00:51:31show up wherever I am?
00:51:32Because Victoria
00:51:33has your itinerary.
00:51:34She is running a project
00:51:35I invested in
00:51:36so I have the right
00:51:37to see it.
00:51:37That is called stalking.
00:51:39That is called
00:51:40paying attention.
00:51:44There is a difference.
00:51:46The next afternoon,
00:51:48Ethan Hale
00:51:48went with me
00:51:49to a private warehouse
00:51:50on the outskirts
00:51:51of Cairo.
00:51:52It was not big,
00:51:54but the temperature
00:51:55and humidity
00:51:55were carefully controlled.
00:51:57The kind of place
00:51:58used specifically
00:51:59to store antiques.
00:52:01after the manager
00:52:03opened the door,
00:52:04I saw three full shelves.
00:52:06Every piece
00:52:08had a handwritten tag
00:52:09hanging on it.
00:52:10It was my father's
00:52:11handwriting.
00:52:15An 18th century style
00:52:17Meissen Porcelain vase.
00:52:19Purchased at the Grand Bazaar
00:52:21in Istanbul,
00:52:222008.
00:52:23Clara Bennett.
00:52:26I was eight years old
00:52:28in Istanbul
00:52:28with my dad.
00:52:29He took me
00:52:30to the Grand Bazaar.
00:52:31I kept asking
00:52:31for Turkish ice cream
00:52:32and he said
00:52:33we would go
00:52:33after looking
00:52:34at that little stall.
00:52:35That stall
00:52:36was selling
00:52:36these old porcelain pieces.
00:52:38I did not remember
00:52:39any of it,
00:52:40but my dad did.
00:52:41For three years,
00:52:42I hid everything
00:52:43about them away.
00:52:44The languages,
00:52:45the inheritance,
00:52:46the memories.
00:52:46I thought as long
00:52:47as I did not touch
00:52:48any of it,
00:52:49I could pretend
00:52:50they had never left,
00:52:51but they had always
00:52:52been with me.
00:52:54Your father
00:52:55was an extraordinary man.
00:52:59I know.
00:53:01Then you should become
00:53:02someone extraordinary too
00:53:04instead of hiding yourself
00:53:06in a position
00:53:06far below your level.
00:53:10That night,
00:53:11I called Attorney Wills.
00:53:13Attorney Wills,
00:53:14I will handle
00:53:15the inheritance.
00:53:16Miss Bennett,
00:53:16finally!
00:53:17Donate the Zurich accounts
00:53:18and the properties
00:53:19according to the original plan,
00:53:20but I am keeping
00:53:21the porcelain collection
00:53:22in Cairo.
00:53:22Understood.
00:53:23That is wonderful.
00:53:24I will arrange it right away.
00:53:25One more thing.
00:53:26Go ahead.
00:53:27Did my father leave
00:53:28any letter or document
00:53:29for me?
00:53:30Not a legal document,
00:53:31something personal?
00:53:33Yes.
00:53:33A letter.
00:53:34He noted that it should
00:53:35be given to you
00:53:36when you came
00:53:36to collect the antiques.
00:53:38Send it to me.
00:53:40Attorney Wills
00:53:41sent the letter
00:53:41to my hotel.
00:53:43I sat in my room
00:53:44for ten minutes
00:53:45before finally
00:53:46working up the courage
00:53:47to open the letter.
00:53:49The letter was not long.
00:53:52Clara.
00:53:53When you see this letter,
00:53:54your mother and I
00:53:55should no longer be
00:53:56by your side.
00:53:57Knowing your personality,
00:53:58I guess you will probably
00:53:59run away for a while.
00:54:00You may seal away
00:54:01the memories connected to us,
00:54:03along with all those languages.
00:54:05Maybe it is because
00:54:05every language
00:54:06is tied to us.
00:54:07One sentence in German
00:54:08will remind you
00:54:09of landscape in Berlin.
00:54:10One sentence in Arabic
00:54:11will remind you
00:54:12of the stars in Cairo.
00:54:13But Clara,
00:54:14language is not a chain.
00:54:16Language is wings.
00:54:17Your mother spent
00:54:18her life building bridges.
00:54:20I spent mine planting seeds.
00:54:21You are that bridge and seed.
00:54:23Don't shrink yourself
00:54:24into the dark.
00:54:25You are exceptional.
00:54:26You are smart, gifted.
00:54:27And you should do
00:54:28what you're really good at,
00:54:29trying to plant seeds
00:54:30in your own way.
00:54:31You are our pride.
00:54:32Mom and dad
00:54:33will always love you.
00:54:34There was a water stain
00:54:35on the paper.
00:54:36I did not know
00:54:37whether he left it
00:54:38when he wrote the letter
00:54:39or whether I had just left it.
00:54:40My dad was right.
00:54:41Language is not a chain.
00:54:43It is wings.
00:54:46In Madrid,
00:54:47I interviewed
00:54:48a flamenco dancer
00:54:49in Spanish.
00:54:50Cada idioma
00:54:51tiene su propio ritmo.
00:54:52Una vez que tu cuerpo
00:54:53lo memoriza,
00:54:54nunca lo olvidarás.
00:54:55She says,
00:54:56I wrote that sentence
00:54:57down in my translation notes.
00:54:59The final stop
00:55:00was Venice.
00:55:01Omar,
00:55:01the Arab old bookseller.
00:55:03He had his own
00:55:04antique bookshop
00:55:05in the best spot
00:55:06on the busiest square
00:55:07in Venice.
00:55:07He was in his 60s
00:55:09and had lived in Italy
00:55:10for 30 years.
00:55:11And the story of him
00:55:12moved me the most.
00:55:13I arrived in Italy
00:55:15when I was 25 years old
00:55:15and I didn't know
00:55:16a single word
00:55:17of the local language.
00:55:18I lost my way.
00:55:19I didn't know anything,
00:55:21I didn't know to read
00:55:21and I didn't even
00:55:22ask for indications.
00:55:24I had to style
00:55:25and talk to people
00:55:25at the same time.
00:55:27They thought I was
00:55:28Pascoe.
00:55:29What happened after that?
00:55:30Then I spent 10 years
00:55:31to speak Italian
00:55:32and over 10 years
00:55:33to make sure
00:55:34that everyone
00:55:34in that way
00:55:34called Mr. Omar.
00:55:37The language
00:55:38is not only tradition.
00:55:39It's the way
00:55:40to respect you.
00:55:42Keep this part.
00:55:44Original audio
00:55:44with subtitles.
00:55:46Clara,
00:55:46your translation
00:55:47almost made me cry.
00:55:48In Venice,
00:55:49I completed
00:55:49the final three interviews
00:55:51in Italian.
00:55:52Two months,
00:55:52two continents
00:55:53and eight languages.
00:55:54My dad was right.
00:55:56Language is not a chain.
00:55:59It is wings.
00:56:03The day I came back,
00:56:05it was late December.
00:56:07New York's winter
00:56:08was cold,
00:56:09but the air
00:56:10carried a familiar scent.
00:56:12Clara,
00:56:13the director position
00:56:14in the translation
00:56:15department is open.
00:56:16Mm-hmm.
00:56:18I want you to take it.
00:56:19What is the salary?
00:56:23$200,000.
00:56:25Okay.
00:56:26And just like that,
00:56:27in less than half a year,
00:56:29I went from a junior role
00:56:31to the director
00:56:31of the translation department.
00:56:34On the day I officially
00:56:35took the role,
00:56:36I stood in the meeting room
00:56:38and made a speech
00:56:39to the people
00:56:39in the translation department.
00:56:42I know many of you
00:56:43have questions about me.
00:56:45Why does someone
00:56:46who hid for three years
00:56:47suddenly get to become director?
00:56:49I am not going to explain.
00:56:50From today on,
00:56:51results will do the talking.
00:56:52I will personally proofread
00:56:54everyone's translation drafts.
00:56:56I have only one standard,
00:56:57accuracy.
00:56:58If you cannot do it,
00:56:59I will teach you.
00:57:00If you still cannot do it
00:57:02after that,
00:57:02you will be replaced.
00:57:04That's strict.
00:57:06Translation is not a word game.
00:57:08One wrong number
00:57:09in a trade contract
00:57:10can mean tens of millions
00:57:11in losses.
00:57:13Strictness is the bare minimum.
00:57:17Hello?
00:57:18Director Bennett,
00:57:19congratulations on the promotion.
00:57:20Thank you.
00:57:21$200,000?
00:57:23Mm-hmm.
00:57:23I offered $400,000 before.
00:57:25I know.
00:57:26Still not considering it?
00:57:27Not for now.
00:57:28But thank you for all your help,
00:57:29the offer,
00:57:30the Harborlight Media Project,
00:57:31that day in Cairo.
00:57:32You don't need to thank me.
00:57:33Those weren't favors.
00:57:34Then what were they?
00:57:35Things I wanted to do.
00:57:37Are you free this weekend?
00:57:39For what?
00:57:40Dinner.
00:57:41No work,
00:57:41no projects.
00:57:44Okay.
00:57:47He was driving a very ordinary
00:57:49gray sedan,
00:57:50not the kind of luxury car
00:57:51I had imagined.
00:57:52Your car doesn't really
00:57:53match your status.
00:57:54Cars are for driving,
00:57:55not for showing off.
00:57:56I'm taking you to a Japanese restaurant.
00:57:58It only has eight seats.
00:58:01You're paying?
00:58:03Obviously.
00:58:06This place has the best sashimi
00:58:08in the whole city.
00:58:09How do you know?
00:58:10I've tried every Japanese restaurant
00:58:11in the city.
00:58:14This man.
00:58:16Clara,
00:58:16I'm going to be direct.
00:58:17Since that day in Cairo,
00:58:19or maybe even earlier,
00:58:20since the first time
00:58:20you spoke German
00:58:21at Hellworth International,
00:58:22I...
00:58:22You what?
00:58:23I knew you were someone
00:58:24I didn't want to miss.
00:58:26Right now,
00:58:26you're the only person
00:58:27in my mind.
00:58:29You really are way too...
00:58:31To what?
00:58:32Too direct.
00:58:34You don't like it?
00:58:37I didn't say
00:58:37I didn't like it.
00:58:42That night,
00:58:43he drove me home.
00:58:45Downstairs,
00:58:45he said,
00:58:46I'm flying to South Korea
00:58:47for a business tryst tomorrow.
00:58:50How long?
00:58:51A week.
00:58:53Okay.
00:58:54Will you miss me?
00:58:56No.
00:59:00Liar.
00:59:02Maybe a little.
00:59:04A little.
00:59:11I watched his taillights disappear.
00:59:15Over the next three months,
00:59:17many things happened at once.
00:59:19The Hellworth International Project
00:59:22successfully completed
00:59:23its third phase,
00:59:24and Graham Global
00:59:25brought in nearly
00:59:26$80 million in revenue from it.
00:59:28When Daniel Graham
00:59:29reviewed the monthly report,
00:59:31he said to Jason Pierce,
00:59:34We should have put Clara
00:59:35on it from the start.
00:59:41After Vanessa resigned
00:59:42from Graham Global,
00:59:43she became a director
00:59:44at a small translation company.
00:59:46Three months later,
00:59:47that company faced
00:59:48a massive compensation claim
00:59:50because of a major
00:59:50translation mistake.
00:59:52A German contract
00:59:53had its tariff clauses
00:59:54mistranslated,
00:59:55causing the client
00:59:56to lose $20 million.
00:59:57That translation
00:59:58was done by
00:59:59Vanessa Reed herself.
01:00:00Her problem
01:00:01with German honorophies
01:00:03had finally been exposed
01:00:04on a bigger stage.
01:00:05When the news
01:00:06reached Graham Global,
01:00:07some people started
01:00:08mocking her
01:00:09in the group chat.
01:00:10I only said one thing.
01:00:11Stop talking about it.
01:00:14Everyone has to take
01:00:15responsibility
01:00:16for their own choices.
01:00:24Hello?
01:00:25Clara?
01:00:26It's Uncle George,
01:00:27your father's old colleague.
01:00:30Uncle George?
01:00:31I saw you on TV.
01:00:32Translation consultant.
01:00:33Five languages.
01:00:35Clara,
01:00:35your parents must be
01:00:36so proud of you in heaven.
01:00:37Uncle George,
01:00:38how did you see?
01:00:39You look exactly like Michael.
01:00:41And you're Arabic.
01:00:42That Cairo accent
01:00:44of your father's,
01:00:44I recognized it
01:00:45the moment I heard it.
01:00:47Clara,
01:00:47before your father
01:00:48passed away,
01:00:49he said something to me.
01:00:50What did he say?
01:00:52Clara will become
01:00:53a better bridge
01:00:54than I ever was.
01:00:55That night,
01:00:56Ethan Hale came back
01:00:58from South Korea
01:00:58and went straight
01:00:59to my building.
01:01:01Come out.
01:01:02For what?
01:01:04Want to take a walk
01:01:04with you.
01:01:06The street was cold
01:01:07and the streetlights
01:01:08stretched our shadows
01:01:09long across the pavement.
01:01:12I watched the documentary.
01:01:14How was it?
01:01:15Not good enough
01:01:16for your translation.
01:01:17The director was average.
01:01:19Don't say that
01:01:19about Martin.
01:01:20But your parts
01:01:21were excellent.
01:01:22You weren't just
01:01:22translating in the interview,
01:01:23you were carrying
01:01:24the emotion across.
01:01:26My father once said
01:01:27if you understand
01:01:28someone's mother tongue,
01:01:29you can understand
01:01:29their heart.
01:01:31You did that.
01:01:34We walked for a long time
01:01:35until we reached a river.
01:01:37Clara.
01:01:37Yeah?
01:01:38Hal Wild is setting up
01:01:39an international
01:01:40cultural exchange
01:01:40department next year.
01:01:41It will focus
01:01:42on cross-border
01:01:42cultural projects,
01:01:43documentaries,
01:01:44publishing exhibitions,
01:01:45forums.
01:01:46I need someone to lead it.
01:01:47You're trying to
01:01:48poach me again?
01:01:49I'm not poaching you.
01:01:50I'm building a position
01:01:50for you.
01:01:51What do you mean?
01:01:52You're not meant
01:01:53to be just a translator.
01:01:55Translation is a tool
01:01:56and you should use
01:01:57that tool to do
01:01:57something bigger.
01:01:59Your father's
01:02:00porcelain collection
01:02:00could become an exhibition
01:02:01about the history
01:02:02of global trade.
01:02:04Use your eight languages
01:02:05to tell that story
01:02:06to the world.
01:02:06What's the salary?
01:02:08Name your price.
01:02:09You don't think
01:02:10I'm taking advantage of you?
01:02:11Then let me take
01:02:12advantage of you.
01:02:13What?
01:02:14Be my girlfriend.
01:02:15No salary needed.
01:02:16Ethan!
01:02:16I'm joking.
01:02:17One million dollars a year
01:02:18plus project dividends
01:02:19but the girlfriend part
01:02:20is serious too.
01:02:21Streetlight fell across his face
01:02:22softening the sharp
01:02:23cold lines he usually carried.
01:02:27Two days later
01:02:28I gave him my answer.
01:02:30I said yes to both.
01:02:31Daniel Graham
01:02:32personally walked me
01:02:33to the entrance.
01:02:34Clara, you are the most
01:02:35underestimated employee
01:02:36in Graham Global's history.
01:02:38Mr. Graham,
01:02:38you also gave me
01:02:39the opportunity.
01:02:40You earned that
01:02:40opportunity yourself.
01:02:43Speaking of which,
01:02:44what I said in German
01:02:45at the annual meeting
01:02:46The 70% raise?
01:02:48You understood it
01:02:49back then, didn't you?
01:02:50I did.
01:02:52Then why didn't you?
01:02:53Forget it.
01:02:54I wish you all the best.
01:02:56Thank you.
01:02:57Three years.
01:02:58A $24,000 in salary.
01:03:00A junior level position.
01:03:02I had repaid what needed
01:03:04to be repaid.
01:03:05It was time to start over.
01:03:11Hale Wharton's
01:03:12International Cultural
01:03:13Exchange Department
01:03:14was officially established.
01:03:16I became its first director.
01:03:18The first project
01:03:19is an international
01:03:20touring exhibition.
01:03:22The core exhibits
01:03:23are the 40-plus antiques
01:03:24my father collected
01:03:25from around the world.
01:03:26The exhibition will open
01:03:28simultaneously in five cities.
01:03:29Berlin, Cairo,
01:03:31Istanbul, Paris,
01:03:33and New York.
01:03:34I'll personally translate
01:03:36the narration for each city
01:03:37into the local language.
01:03:38On opening day,
01:03:39more than 300 people
01:03:41came to the New York venue.
01:03:42Uncle George stood
01:03:44in the exhibition hall,
01:03:45looking at my father's
01:03:46handwritten labels
01:03:47on the porcelain pieces,
01:03:48tears streaming down his face.
01:03:51Michael,
01:03:52your daughter made it.
01:03:54Clara,
01:03:55how about turning
01:03:55this exhibition
01:03:56into a second season
01:03:57of the documentary?
01:03:59We can talk about it.
01:04:02I told you,
01:04:03you were never
01:04:04just a translator.
01:04:06Ethan Hale stood
01:04:07in the corner
01:04:08of the exhibition hall,
01:04:09staying away from the front.
01:04:11He was wearing
01:04:12a black suit,
01:04:13hands in my pockets,
01:04:14watching me give interviews
01:04:15under the spotlight,
01:04:16that look in his eye.
01:04:19You are someone
01:04:20I didn't want to miss.
01:04:24Ms. Bennett,
01:04:26you are fluent
01:04:26in eight languages,
01:04:27but I heard you spent
01:04:27three years
01:04:28as a junior translator
01:04:29at a trading company,
01:04:30making only $24,000 a year.
01:04:33Yes.
01:04:34Why did you hide
01:04:35your abilities?
01:04:38Because I was running away.
01:04:40Every language
01:04:41was tied to memories
01:04:42of my parents.
01:04:44I thought if I hid them away,
01:04:46it would stop hurting.
01:04:50But later I realized
01:04:51that languages
01:04:52do not disappear
01:04:53just because you refuse
01:04:54to speak them.
01:04:55They stay in your blood,
01:04:56waiting for you to speak.
01:04:58What finally made you
01:04:59decide to speak up?
01:05:00A letter.
01:05:02My father wrote it.
01:05:04He said if I have the ability
01:05:05to make a difference,
01:05:06I should use it.
01:05:08On the second day
01:05:09of the exhibition,
01:05:10someone unexpected
01:05:11showed up.
01:05:14Vanessa.
01:05:16What are you doing here?
01:05:17I saw it on the news.
01:05:19Your father collected these?
01:05:21Yes.
01:05:23They are beautiful.
01:05:26Clara,
01:05:26I owe you an apology.
01:05:28You do not have...
01:05:29Let me speak.
01:05:31I was jealous of you.
01:05:32I had been jealous
01:05:33since the first time
01:05:34you opened your mouth
01:05:35and spoke German.
01:05:36It took me seven years
01:05:37to climb up to Team Leader,
01:05:38but you were already above me
01:05:39without even trying.
01:05:39I could not accept that.
01:05:41So you chose to frame me.
01:05:43Yes.
01:05:44And then I paid the price.
01:05:45After I left Graham Global,
01:05:47that German contract
01:05:48at the translation company,
01:05:49you heard about it, right?
01:05:50I did.
01:05:50Because you used to correct my work,
01:05:52I never knew
01:05:52what my real level was.
01:05:53Once you were not there anymore,
01:05:55I finally realized...
01:05:56Vanessa,
01:05:57your hard work was real.
01:05:58Those seven years of German
01:05:59were not wasted either.
01:06:00You just chose the wrong direction
01:06:02at certain moments.
01:06:03You do not hate me?
01:06:04No.
01:06:05The forged screenshots
01:06:06are in the past now.
01:06:08You really are different
01:06:09from before.
01:06:10Back then,
01:06:11I could not even face myself.
01:06:13The exhibition is wonderful.
01:06:14Your father must be very happy.
01:06:19The exhibition ran for two months
01:06:21across five cities
01:06:22with more than
01:06:23120,000 visitors in total.
01:06:34After the closing ceremony,
01:06:36Ethan Hole found me
01:06:37on the hotel terrace.
01:06:39Tired?
01:06:41A little.
01:06:42Five cities,
01:06:43two months.
01:06:44You handled all the narration
01:06:46and translation work
01:06:47across every language
01:06:48by yourself.
01:06:50I am used to it.
01:06:52Do not get used to
01:06:53carrying everything alone.
01:07:02This is not a proposal,
01:07:03so don't be nervous.
01:07:05I breathed a sigh of relief
01:07:06and felt a little
01:07:07to point at the same time.
01:07:08It is custom made
01:07:09because you said
01:07:10your father once told you
01:07:11that you were the bridge.
01:07:17This?
01:07:17There is a line
01:07:18engraved on the bridge.
01:07:20It has the word bridge
01:07:22engraved in nine languages.
01:07:25The ninth language
01:07:26is Russian.
01:07:27I studied for three months
01:07:29just to learn one word.
01:07:30The Cairo night wind
01:07:31swept across the terrace.
01:07:32In the distance,
01:07:34the banks of the Nile
01:07:35were bright with lights.
01:07:37Ethan Hole,
01:07:38you really are.
01:07:40What?
01:07:42Too good at this.
01:07:44Only with you.
01:07:51Five years later,
01:07:53Halevin's International
01:07:54Cultural Exchange Department
01:07:56had become
01:07:56an industry bandmark.
01:07:58It ran more than
01:07:5920 cross-spree cultural projects
01:08:01every year,
01:08:01with revenue
01:08:02exceeding 200 million.
01:08:04Revenue is up
01:08:04another 30% this year.
01:08:06Mm-hmm.
01:08:09Your salary should be
01:08:10adjusted this year.
01:08:11To how much?
01:08:13You tell me.
01:08:14One dollar.
01:08:15Seriously?
01:08:17Put the rest
01:08:18into a scholarship
01:08:19to support young people
01:08:20studying languages.
01:08:21Name it after my parents.
01:08:23The Michael Bennett
01:08:24and Evelyn Chen
01:08:24Language Scholarship.
01:08:26How do you know
01:08:27my mother's name?
01:08:28I am your husband.
01:08:30How could I not
01:08:31know your mother's name?
01:08:32Outside the window
01:08:33was the skyline
01:08:34of the whole city.
01:08:38It was no longer
01:08:39that rental apartment
01:08:40with the broken heating.
01:08:41But sometimes,
01:08:42I still think of
01:08:43that window
01:08:44and the nights
01:08:45when I crouched there
01:08:46eating soup.
01:08:47Back then,
01:08:48I was fluent
01:08:48in eight languages,
01:08:49made $24,000 a year,
01:08:51and rejected
01:08:52a $10 million inheritance.
01:08:53I hid myself
01:08:54in the deepest corner,
01:08:55thinking that as long
01:08:56as I stayed silent,
01:08:57it would not hurt.
01:08:58In his letter,
01:08:59my father wrote,
01:09:00Be brave enough
01:09:01to be yourself.
01:09:02It took me a long time
01:09:04to understand that.
01:09:07But luckily,
01:09:08I did it.
01:09:08I did it.
01:09:10I did it.
01:09:12I did it.
01:09:12I wanted to see it.
01:09:12I did it.
