Short filmTranscript
00:00:05I'm Annie Smith, a junior translator at Wright Global Trading Co. Lou Did.
00:00:09I've been here for three years and make $24,000 a year.
00:00:13Pretty ordinary, right?
00:00:15But in fact, I'm fluent in eight languages.
00:00:17English, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Arabic, and Italian.
00:00:23Nobody knows that.
00:00:25My father was a diplomat and mother was simultaneous and sort of.
00:00:28Five years ago, they died in a car accident.
00:00:31I've never wanted to show off because of these skills.
00:00:33I just want to keep my head down and be a small, un-zooming translator.
00:00:37Let'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.
00:00:57Annie, you better win the lucky draw later.
00:00:59If you do, dinner's on me.
00:01:03Sure, why not?
00:01:04That's my everyday life.
00:01:06Elon is my only friend at work.
00:01:09She doesn't know I speak eight languages.
00:01:11But she does know one thing.
00:01:15Also, I have another one.
00:01:18Everyone here, who speaks German, will get 70% of Gehands-Erhöhung.
00:01:2770%.
00:01:27My salary would go from 24.000 to 4.800.
00:01:32But it has nothing to do with me.
00:01:34I told myself, it has nothing to do with me.
00:01:41Annie, did you understand that?
00:01:43No.
00:01:44I don't speak German.
00:01:46Right, of course.
00:01:47You only have a certificate in Spanish.
00:01:50What could you possibly understand?
00:01:52Poor thing.
00:01:55Syed, majoring in German, French, and Spanish, is the head of translator team.
00:02:00She got promoted in just three months.
00:02:03And has been riding that high ever since.
00:02:07Anyway, the raise has nothing to do with you.
00:02:11Just keep doing the basic work.
00:02:14Oh, and remember to translate the annual meeting press replaced tonight.
00:02:18I didn't say anything.
00:02:19A 70% raise.
00:02:21The German translation team consists of four people, plus Scarlet.
00:02:24Only five people would get it.
00:02:26What did that have to do with me?
00:02:27Nothing.
00:02:28Really, nothing.
00:02:34Ann, stay right there.
00:02:35I'm coming over right now.
00:02:40Annie, why 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.
00:02:51After the raise, that's 4,800 a year.
00:02:54No, I didn't get the meaning.
00:02:55I don't speak German.
00:02:58Who are you trying to fool?
00:03:00Your French is already that good.
00:03:01You're expecting me to believe you don't understand German.
00:03:03Are you kidding me?
00:03:05I 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 and we go out for a drink on Friday.
00:03:14Can't you stand up for yourself for once?
00:03:16Eileen 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.
00:03:31Oh my God, Annie.
00:03:32What are you afraid of?
00:03:36Fine.
00:03:36Keep pretending.
00:03:37I'm done.
00:03:38But Annie, I'm telling you.
00:03:40You're going to suffer with that kind of personality sooner or later.
00:03:45Alright.
00:03:46You're going to suffer with that kind of personality sooner or later.
00:03:52Guter Schaßzug, oder?
00:03:53Schließlich können das nur die Leute aus dem deutschen Team verstehen.
00:03:57Das bedeutet, dass sich nur dem Kern-Team eine Gehens-Erhöhung gibt.
00:04:01Alle anderen werden einfach denken, dass ich eine motivasiere Schrey halte.
00:04:05Sehr brillant, Mr. White.
00:04:08Abross.
00:04:09Wen schäden wir nächste Woche für das Projekt der Crown Bell Group?
00:04:15Scarlet.
00:04:16Sie spricht am besten Deutsch.
00:04:19Ich habe gehört, dass Präsident Anderson von Crown Bell ziemlich schwierig ist.
00:04:22Letztes Mal hat er das gesamte Übersetzungsgrund von Meridian aus dem Sprengsraum hinangefrogen.
00:04:27Das sollte kein Problem sein.
00:04:29Scarlet kommt damit klar.
00:04:34Leute, auf Andersonville sollten wir diesmal nicht mitnehmen.
00:04:36Sie könnten das Mieten ruinieren.
00:04:40Sie wissen, dass ich sie nicht verstehen können.
00:04:42Sie denken, dass ich nur ein kleiner Translator.
00:04:46Aber das ist nur zu erwarten.
00:04:48Ich habe nicht gesehen, was ich nicht gesehen habe.
00:04:49Ich habe auch nicht gesehen, was ich kann.
00:04:50Ich habe auch nicht gesehen, was ich kann.
00:04:50Anni, sende mir die Proof-Red-Version von heute Morgen.
00:05:01Ich habe die Proof-Red-Version von heute Morgen.
00:05:12Anni, sende mir die Proof-Red-Version von heute Morgen.
00:05:27Anni, sende mir die Proof-Red-Version von heute Morgen.
00:05:31Ich habe gehört,
00:05:34Do you know President Anderson of Crownwell?
00:05:40Wer?
00:05:41Wer?
00:05:44Wer?
00:05:45Wer?
00:05:46Wer?
00:05:47Wer?
00:05:47Wer?
00:05:49Wer?
00:05:51Wer?
00:05:54Wer?
00:05:57Wer?
00:06:08celebrities
00:06:11Wer?
00:06:13Wer weiß?
00:06:13Wer?
00:06:13Wer?
00:06:15Wer?
00:06:16Wer?
00:06:16Wer?
00:06:17Hay?rez
00:06:24зависit? Wer?
00:06:26Annie, didn't you say you took a little Arabic course in college? Just do a rough translation.
00:06:30Sure. I did tell him I'd taken a little Arabic. But in fact, I lived in Saudi Arabia for two
00:06:35years.
00:06:36Arabic is basically my fourth native language. It took me 15 minutes to finish the translation.
00:06:41I 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, about 50 pages.
00:07:11This isn't my job.
00:07:12How is it not? You're in the translation department, and I'm your leader. Is there a problem with me assigning
00:07:16you work?
00:07:17She 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. We'll be discussing the handover plan for the Crownwell project. You don't need
00:07:31to attend.
00:07:32I know. You're only responsible for basic proofreading. A major project like this isn't something you get to be part
00:07:38of. I know.
00:07:46I heard everything in the pantry. Who does she think she is talking to you like that? What does she
00:07:49mean by not something you get to be part of?
00:07:51I'm used to it. Can't you just clap back for once? And then what? She's the boss.
00:07:58If you showed everyone what you can really do, what kind of boss would she even be?
00:08:03I don't want to.
00:08:05What exactly are you afraid of, Annie?
00:08:07What am I afraid of? I don't know either.
00:08:10Maybe I'm afraid of being noticed. Afraid that people will dig into my past and will look at me with
00:08:15pity.
00:08:17Or maybe I'm just too tired to care.
00:08:23An annual salary of $24,000.
00:08:27In this city, after rent and utilities, there isn't much left.
00:08:37Hello?
00:08:37Hello. Am I speaking with Miss Annie Smith?
00:08:40Yes.
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.
00:08:48And 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.
00:09:05The Translation Department had a meeting on a 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.
00:09:16There are also someone who can speak Mandarin and Japanese in his team.
00:09:19This time, we're discussing a supply chain partnership for the Middle East market.
00:09:23Anything involving Arabic will be handled by their side.
00:09:25We only need to cover the German communication.
00:09:27Can you handle that?
00:09:28Of course. I studied in Germany for three years.
00:09:30The business negotiation like this is exactly in my comfort zone.
00:09:33To 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 journey has one fatal habit.
00:09:41She relies too much on literal translation,
00:09:43and often misses the level of formality required in German business correspondence.
00:09:46In everyday conversation, that's not a big deal.
00:09:49But if the person she faced is extremely sensitive to details, never mind. Not my business.
00:09:54Finished sorting everything?
00:09:56Yes.
00:09:57I made her a summary, classified by project type, cooperation history, and key personnel.
00:10:01I also marked the changes of tarot policies and the risk points.
00:10:04All she had to do was a glance through, and she was exactly to expect.
00:10:07It'll do.
00:10:12Scarlet!
00:10:14Scarlet!
00:10:14He rarely came down here in person.
00:10:17Scarlet.
00:10:18Crown will move the schedule up.
00:10:20Anderson will be here tomorrow afternoon. Are you ready?
00:10:23Moved up?
00:10:25I've gone through all the materials. No problem.
00:10:28Good.
00:10:29Bring someone with you tomorrow for on-site interpretation support.
00:10:32I'll take Zack.
00:10:33His German is decent, too.
00:10:34Zack is still on leave.
00:10:39Annie, you come with me tomorrow.
00:10:41Me?
00:10:42I only speak Spanish.
00:10:43You'll just take notes and serve coffee.
00:10:45I'll handle the professional part.
00:10:48Her?
00:10:49Don't worry, Mr. White.
00:10:50She's more than enough as an assistant.
00:10:52I got dragged into Crown Willian's business negotiation as an assistant and a notetaker.
00:10:57Someone who can serve coffee at the same time.
00:11:00I sent you in a message.
00:11:01I will go to Crown Will tomorrow.
00:11:03Scarlet is taking you?
00:11:05Doesn't she always look down on you as the errand girl?
00:11:08You...
00:11:08You just agreed to that?
00:11:10What 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.
00:11:28This is my assistant, Annie.
00:11:30Oh, she called me assistant.
00:11:31I didn't correct her.
00:11:35Please wait.
00:11:36President Alexandring is still in a meeting.
00:11:39Scarlet reapplied her lipstick twice and adjusted her hair three separate times in just these 15 minutes.
00:11:45Annie, when we go in, just sit on the side and take notes.
00:11:47Don't speak unless you're asked.
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?
00:12:03President Anderson will see you now.
00:12:28Miss Scarlet?
00:12:29President Anderson will see you now.
00:12:30The legal director and a lady who looked very very young.
00:12:34A translation device sat in front of her.
00:12:51He spoke so fast.
00:12:52Every word was sharp.
00:12:54She understood him, but she clearly didn't expect him to open like that.
00:13:03I mean...
00:13:04I mean...
00:13:04I have also asked German.
00:13:05So please respond to German.
00:13:07I don't want to spend time with over-satting.
00:13:11That was only a first end-brauch.
00:13:14We will update the data.
00:13:16Update?
00:13:18Have someone in your key with the new software for the import of the EGN in the A6 for 2014?
00:13:23The changes in Article D3 and 7 are directly 50% of your support players.
00:13:26You knew that?
00:13:28She didn't know.
00:13:30But I did.
00:13:31Because that policy change was mentioned in the background materials.
00:13:35I had specifically marked it in the summary.
00:13:37But Scarlet obviously hadn't read it carefully.
00:13:42I had to...
00:13:42I have to...
00:13:44I had to...
00:13:44I have to do it internally.
00:13:47Did you not prepare until you came to come here?
00:13:51Yes.
00:13:52You have used the wrong German language.
00:13:55For the first time I said nothing.
00:13:57For the second time I didn't.
00:13:58For the third time...
00:14:01Do you know what is in the business life if you use the wrong form of the correct use?
00:14:12The legal director beside Anderson gave a slight shake of his head. The meaning was obvious. This negotiation was about
00:14:19to fall through.
00:14:25Herr Präsident Anderson, I bette vielmals um Entschuldung.
00:14:29If this is the name of White Glover, I'm going to feel like I'm going to shake another partner.
00:14:34My hands froze above the keyboard. Two voices were speaking in my head. It's none of your concern. You're just
00:14:39here to fetch coffee and serve drinks.
00:14:40This is Whitworth with Globals biggest deal of the year. If we lose it, they'll probably be layoffs by the
00:14:44end of the year. And junior translators like me will be first on the chopping block.
00:14:58President Anderson, give us five minutes.
00:15:14And you are?
00:15:16I'm Annie, junior translator at Whitmore Global.
00:15:21Junior translator?
00:15:22Yes. The one who always takes notes beside and serves coffee.
00:15:29Five minutes.
00:15:34The new three erpestet the standard for six to eight
00:15:38hsk.
00:15:39Artikel this berin sat-fait,

00:17:53scarlet the project was saved wasn't it you did this on purpose you hid your skills just waiting for

00:23:04could see the strong line of english they said they want to push the price down by 20 work they'll
00:23:07switch to suppliers louie anderson's eyes stayed on the screen for one second his expression didn't
00:23:12change at all but in the negotiation that followed his strategy clearly shifted let's cut the chase our
00:23:17final offer is 10 below the current market price take your lead
00:23:25your abhishek is excellent not that good just the daily level you heard what he said to his
00:23:30interpreter just now then you warned me i just thought the information might be useful for the
00:23:35negotiation without that warning from you this deal would have cost us at least eight million
00:23:38dollars today annie how many languages do you speak german french japanese korean spanish arabic
00:23:43and italian eight in total plus english and you're a junior level translator at light global

00:23:51i can start you at four hundred thousand dollars a year if you're willing to head the international
00:23:55business department there's no upper limit mr anderson thank you for the offer i'm not planning to
00:24:00change jobs for now for now for now you can change your mind to any ground only one line
00:24:04of text louie anderson and a phone number it didn't even say president crownwell international
00:24:08this kind of card is usually given to people who already need to know who you are
00:24:20what are you doing i i i was passing by and saw your computer was still on it was off
00:24:25when i left
00:24:25you went to crownwell again today louie anderson asked you to go didn't he it was needed for the
00:24:30project coordination what kind of project needs you to interpret arabic you never said you were
00:24:33that good at arabic what else are you hiding what did you see on my computer i didn't see anything
00:24:39she opened my personal folder what was inside some translation exercises casual translations in french
00:24:46japanese japanese and korean things i did when i was bored if she saw those
00:24:53annie what exactly did you do at crownwell today scarlett was losing her mind in the office all
00:24:57afternoon she went through your computer you know why are you reporting her report what i don't have
00:25:01proof you are way too forget it i heard something today do you want to know go on there's something
00:25:06going on between scarlett and alicewood what do you mean i handle reimbursement forms and admin over the
00:25:1318 times every single time i was at that hotel on the one side of the city think about that
00:25:16that
00:25:16has nothing to do with me how does that have nothing to do with you alex would be in carlett
00:25:19department leader because of those relations
00:25:27the message basically said the company found some employees failed to truthfully fill in personal
00:25:31skills during onboarding all staff must update profiles within a week concealment or a classification
00:25:37will be dealt with as a violation of company regulations this email is straight to you of
00:25:44course i knew when scarlett went through my computer she found those multilingual translation exercises
00:25:49she must have gone to alicewood
00:25:54annie did you see that email so what are you planning to update your profile i'm still thinking about it
00:26:02i suggest you do it soon if they find out you hid something that'll be a very serious matter thank
00:26:10you for the reminder scarlett it had a pure black background with handwritten words on the back
00:26:23i never noticed it before it hasn't come to that yet
00:26:29there are two things to discuss today first the crownwell project has finished the initial handover
00:26:36mr anderson is very satisfied with our translation work bonuses for this project will be issued next month
00:26:44second regarding the update of employee profiles
00:26:52mr white i have a question go ahead if an employee deliberately hides their skills and causes the
00:26:59company to make the mistakes in allocation human resources does that count as a violation
00:27:10then let me give an example say an employee only lists spanish on her profile but in fact she is
00:27:15fluent in multiple languages the company assigns her position and salary according on the standard
00:27:18for a spanish translator and she never raises any objection over three years without knowing
00:27:22the truth the company loses out on a huge amount of usable human resources this kind of behavior enough
00:27:31scarlett get to the point the person you're talking about is me right
00:27:35so what yes i only listed spanish on my profile because the position i applied for was junior spanish
00:27:42translator i have never made a mistake during the work as for the other languages as for the other languages
00:27:49as for the other languages you hid your ability you let the company spend high salaries hiring
00:27:53people for the german french and arabic teams when you alone could do all of their jobs isn't that
00:27:57damaging the company's interests if i alone can replace all of them then where does that leave you solid
00:28:02this has nothing to do with my place it does because what you're really worried about isn't the
00:28:07company's interests it's the fact that you found out i'm more capable than you and now your position
00:28:12doesn't feel so secure anymore you i'll say it again not listing on my profile does not mean hiding
00:28:20the skills section does not say all skills must be listed i chose to show only the skills required
00:28:25for the job i applied for that is my right
00:28:31fine then let me ask another question mr white the bonus for the crown well project is distributed
00:28:36among the team members right yes annie was added to the team later on a temporary basis the part she
00:28:42took in was just translation handover she wasn't on the original team list so when the bonus is
00:28:46distributed she shouldn't receive the full amount that was a vicious move she stopped attacking me over
00:28:52the hidden skills issue because she knew she couldn't win that fight so she switched to month money
00:28:57instead well scarlet does have a point annie joined halfway through louie anderson specifically requested
00:29:06me mr anderson what brings you here i came to deliver the contract i heard your meeting the door wasn't
00:29:15fully closed the core negotiation of this project was completed by annie on the day we first met she
00:29:20saved the entire conversation in the final five minutes during the meeting with the uae client she
00:29:23used arabic to win me eight million dollars in profit margin how your company distributes bonus is your
00:29:27business but i suggest you figure out who really is the key person in this project
00:29:38one more thing there is a clause in this contract from now on all translation handover work for crown with
00:29:44will be handled by annie if she is no longer at white global this contract automatically becomes void
00:29:50so mr anderson you mean i've made myself very clear this contract is worth 80 million dollars a year
00:30:00the handover translator is annie if you replace her the contract is void
00:30:0780 million annie mr white starting today you are no longer on the junior level then which level i'm in
00:30:15deputy director of the translation department as for your salary we'll discuss it privately mr white
00:30:22she's only been here for three years i've been here for seven scarlet sit down
00:30:30the translation department was in an uproar she actually speaks eight languages she stayed in the junior
00:30:37level for three years how did that happen didn't you hear louie anderson's contract he specifically asked for
00:30:43her 80 million scarlet's face looks amazing i mean the color that line in french you understood it i did
00:30:56what did you think i'm thinking about it take your time
00:31:05annie let's have a chat
00:31:09you hit for three years and now everything is out in the open do you really think your life here
00:31:14will
00:31:14be easy from now on are you threatening me i'm reminding you do you think becoming deputy director
00:31:20solves everything the translation department connections client relationships and internal
00:31:24resources are all in my hands you're a newcomer who just got promoted you won't be able to handle any
00:31:29of
00:31:29it what are you trying to say give me your position you can keep working as the handover translator and
00:31:34take your project bonus i'll manage the department and you handle the business we both get what we
00:31:39want what if i don't want to then i'll let you know ability isn't the only thing that matters in
00:31:44reality
00:31:50it tasted awful scarlet was right ability isn't the only thing that matters but there is one thing
00:31:57she's wrong about thinking she was the only one who had the connection
00:32:03on monday something major happened at white global the company had received a new project
00:32:08a fashion brand from leon france it required a full set of french to english brand translation
00:32:13and market localization services alex wood had brought this project back through an old client
00:32:19the amount was not huge but it mattered a lot for the company's brand expansion
00:32:24the problem was one of the two translators on the french team had just resigned last month
00:32:30the other was on maternity leave there's no one left on the french team what are we supposed
00:32:35to do with this project annie what level is your french it works what do you mean by that can
00:32:43you handle
00:32:44high-end french brand localization yes good then you're taking this project
00:32:51the director of the french side personally called brian white after looked through
00:32:58is your translator french the language feels incredibly authentic yes we have a dedicated
00:33:04french translation team
00:33:10annie the french side is extremely satisfied they've added another project the full translation
00:33:15of their product manuals it's worth three million dollars okay i'll approve your project bonus for
00:33:22this month separately thank you mr white
00:33:27please note everyone project assignments in the translation should follow department procedures
00:33:31no one should skip the leader and take projects directly
00:33:47annie do you really speak eight languages yes do you know how rare someone like you is in the
00:33:52translation industry i know then why did you forget it there's something i should tell you scarlett has
00:34:00a real problem with you she's brought it up with me several times already i know you better be careful
00:34:07she has certain connections in the company mr wood about you and scarlett what about us
00:34:21and scarlett and i don't have the kind of relationship you might be thinking of
00:34:25she got promoted to team lead because she had been here long enough and knew the business well
00:34:30that's all
00:34:33i thought of the 17 hotel reinforcement things elan had mentioned human nature really is an interesting thing
00:34:42the way people looked at me was strange it wasn't admiration or envy it was more like avoidance
00:34:48something happened what happened scarlett reported you to brian white reported me for what she said
00:34:54you privately leaker white global's internal pricing strategy to crownweck while you were translating for
00:34:59them that's a false accusation i know but she has evidence what evidence she said she found a file on
00:35:05your computer screenshots of a chat between you and louie anderson's assistant frank young the chat
00:35:10mentions white global's internal pricing there is no such file on my computer she says there is and
00:35:16she already showed it to brian white brian wants you in his office tomorrow morning to explain yourself
00:35:21that so-called chat record is fake i sneaked a look at it the chat time was last wednesday at
00:35:272 p.m
00:35:28but you were at the department meeting last wednesday afternoon everyone can prove it then how did she
00:35:32she edited the time in the chat photoshopped it but she forgot one thing there's a battery indicator
00:35:38in the top right corner of the screenshot that battery display doesn't match your phone model
00:35:42you use a samsung that screenshot is from an iphone
00:35:47ellen i need you to do me a favor name it you're an administration can you pull the attendance records
00:35:53and meeting room usage records from last wednesday afternoon yes pull them also scarlet reimbursement
00:35:59records the 17 hotel ones do you have them i do are you finally going to use them not to
00:36:04attack her
00:36:04but to protect myself if she comes after me i need brian white to know her credibility has problem
00:36:09got it
00:36:21every file had a timestamp and sending record my real chat history with frank young was all on teams
00:36:27with server backups scarlet can fake screenshots but she couldn't change server data
00:36:41i heard you were reported news travels fast frank told me do you need help no i can handle it
00:36:49myself
00:36:50are you sure are you sure yes fine if you can't handle it just tell me
00:37:06annie scarlet reported that you privately leaked our pricing strategy to crown well while you were
00:37:11translating for them these screenshots are the evidence she provided is there anything you want to say
00:37:17it was exactly as ellen had described my profile picture my name a conversation with frank young
00:37:22the content did involve light global pricing but the wording was extremely unnatural like it had been
00:37:28made up by someone who didn't understand formal business conversation these screenshots are fake
00:37:33of course you would say that i can prove it this is my full chat history with frank young it
00:37:41has
00:37:41server backups and time stamps please compare them the times don't match the screenshot scarlet provided
00:37:49show that the conversation happened last wednesday at 2 p.m but the team's record show that annie and frank
00:37:54young had no conversation at that time she couldn't delete teams has server backups even if an employee
00:38:00deletes the chat on their eye the server still keeps it also from 2 p.m to 4 p.m
00:38:03last wednesday i was
00:38:04attending the department meeting in the company the attendance and meeting room booking records can prove it
00:38:08one more thing this screenshot is from an ios interface i use android scarlet your phone is an iphone
00:38:14isn't it that proves nothing maybe you change phone i've been here for three years the device binding
00:38:20records from it show i have never used an iphone
00:38:28scarlet where did these screenshots come from i i found them on her computer after you went through my
00:38:33computer last week i reset the password these screenshots were never on my computer
00:38:41you never saw these snapshots on my computer because they never existed in the first place
00:38:46you made them yourself
00:38:50scarlet do you have anything else to explain
00:38:54mr wood say something scarlet you went too far this time
00:39:00faking evidence to falsely accuse a colleague is a serious violation scarlet your position as
00:39:04the department leader is revoked immediately mr white also your year-end performance rating will
00:39:07be downgraded by one level if anything like this happens again your employment will be terminated
00:39:11immediately annie are you happy now scarlet from beginning to end you were the one causing trouble
00:39:15for me i never went after you first because your very existence is a quotation you speak eight
00:39:20language and you hate it for three years you made my seven years of hard work look like a joke
00:39:27on the surface no one in the translation department said much but the group chat had completely blown up
00:39:33she should have been removed ages ago her translation skills were just average she only got there through
00:39:38connections you guys didn't know every translation she submitted had been corrected by annie
00:39:44what i am serious i have seen the proof peating records then how many has annie corrected over the past
00:39:49three years a conservative estimate over a hundred
00:40:01excuse me which one of you is annie me hello i am victoria hayes a producer at harbor light media
00:40:11we are preparing a large-scale international documentary project and we need a multi-linguished

00:40:23some attention in the field harbor light media a top team production company mrs hayes what kind of
00:40:28project is it exactly a documentary about the strait of the role and global trade we need simultaneous
00:40:33interpretation and subtitle proof feeding across five languages english french italian spanish and arabic

00:41:26their lives my mother used to say language is the best bridge
00:41:31my father said if you can understand the person in their mother tongue you can understand their heart
00:41:37they carved the languages of the world into my blood then they left so i hid those languages away
00:41:43along with my memories of them because every time i speak one of those languages i remember what they
00:41:49looked like when they were by my side teaching it to me german was in berlin my dad taught it
00:41:54to me
00:41:54while taking me for ice cream in front of the bransbury gate french was in paris my mother read

00:42:06a boat on
00:42:07the nile my father counted the stars while teaching me how to say wahid ethwan flaca every language was a
00:42:15memory and i didn't want to open those memories has mrs hayes from harper light reached out to you

00:42:51go take a look at harbor light's project the strait of jurada the bridge between europe
00:42:55and africa maybe you should see it for yourself

00:43:50went from intern to the department leader i thought i had worked really hard you did work hard
00:43:55but without doing anything you were already above me eight languages what gives you the right
00:43:59my parents they paid for it with their lives
00:44:05that was the last time we spoke in this building at the airport i unexpectedly ran into someone
00:44:10louie anderson he was wearing casual clothes it was the first time i had ever seen him out of a
00:44:15suit annie what are you doing here crownwell has business in dubai or 20 coincidence yeah what a coincidence

00:44:32about the inheritance your parents left you you even know about that the law firm has worked with us
00:44:37before attorney wills once mentioned a client who refused to inherit an estate the industry is only so
00:44:41big so the whole world knows not the whole world just me caring about it i turned
00:44:45to look at him and my heart stripped to beat the sunlight in dubai was completely different from
00:44:49back home dry fierce almost like if it could burn straight through your shadow so you are annie the
00:44:54one who speaks eight languages yes let's do a test translate a section for me first martin handed

00:46:04people may come from different backgrounds and speak different languages but their hearts are

00:47:04would enough seven people lost their jobs because of you are you happy now i looked at the email and
00:47:10deleted it do not believe scarlet the french and german teams were cut because they were already

00:47:18i
00:47:18know are you okay i'm fine
00:47:25cairo the third stop of the documentary i lived here for a while
00:47:31when the plane landed i looked out at that familiar city and my heart started beating a little
00:47:36faster in cairo the team was filming a section about the history of trade between the middle east and
00:47:41europe they needed arabic interpretation
00:47:52you are saying that is given in providing sammler in cairo the owner of this section was a diplomat

00:48:12michael smith
00:48:15michael smith that was my father's name
00:48:21after the interview i sat alone on the streets of cairo i looked up at the sky it was gray
00:48:29i still remember the pistachio flavor ice cream that year
00:48:37you arrived in cairo yes
00:48:41what happened your voice sounds off nothing i flew to cairo this afternoon if you have time
00:48:48why do you always show up wherever i am because victoria has your itinerary she is running a project
00:48:53i invested in so i have the right to see that is called stalking that is called paying attention
00:49:02there is a difference the next afternoon louisger anderson went with me to a private warehouse on
00:49:08the outskirts of cairo it was not big but the temperature and humidity were carefully controlled
00:49:14the kind of place used specifically to store antiques
00:49:19after the manager opened the door i saw three full shelves
00:49:24every piece had a handwritten tag hanging on it
00:49:29it was my father's handwriting an 18th century style meissen porcelain vase
00:49:35purchased at the grand bazaar in istanbul 2008 with annie
00:49:422008 i was eight years old in istanbul with my dad he took me to the grand bazaar i kept
00:49:47asking for
00:49:48turkish ice cream and he said we would go after looking at that little stall that stall was selling
00:49:53these old porcelain pieces i did not remember any of it but my dad did for three years i hid
00:49:58everything about them away the languages the inheritance the memories i thought as long as i
00:50:04did not touch any of it i could pretend they had never left but they had always been with me
00:50:10your father was an extraordinary man i know then you should become someone extraordinary too
00:50:17instead of hiding yourself in a position far below your level
00:50:24that night i called attorney wills attorney wills i will handle the inheritance miss smith finally
00:50:31donate the xer accounts and the properties according to the original plan
00:50:35but i am keeping the porcelain collection in cairo understood that is wonderful i will arrange it right
00:50:39away one more thing go ahead did my father leave any letter or document for me not a legal document
00:50:44something personal yes a letter he noted that it should be given to you when you came to collect
00:50:49the antiques send it to me attorney wills sent the letter to my hotel i sat in my room for
00:50:5610 minutes
00:50:56before finally working up the courage to open the letter the letter was not long danny when you see
00:51:02this letter your mother and i should no longer be by your side knowing your personality i guess you will
00:51:06probably run away for a while you may seal away the memories connected to us along with all those
00:51:11languages maybe it is because every language is tied to us one sentence in german will remind you
00:51:16of landscape in berlin one sentence in arabic will remind you of the stars in cairo but annie language
00:51:22is not a chain language is wings your mother spent her life building bridges i spent mine planting seeds
00:51:27you are that bridge and seed don't shrink yourself into the dark you are exceptional you are smart gifted

00:51:44chain it is wings

00:52:10on the
00:52:11busiest square in venice he was in his sixties and had lived in italy for thirty years and the story

00:52:21locale mi perdevo per strada non riuscivo a capire nulla non potevo leggere nulla non ero neanche in
00:52:26gradi chiedere indicazioni dovevo gestare i gesti e parlare contemporaneamente con le persone
00:52:30pensavano che fossi passo what happened after that poi ho trascorre dieci anni a imparnare l'italiano e oltre dieci
00:52:36anni a far sì che tutti in quella strada mi chiamassero signor omar la lunga non serve solo a tradizione

01:00:00antiques my father collected from around the world
01:00:05the exhibition will open simultaneously in five cities berlin cairo istanbul paris and new york

01:00:18than 300 people came to the new york venue uncle george stood in the exhibition hall looking at my
01:00:24father's handwritten labels on the Portland pieces tears streaming down his face michael your daughter made
01:00:33it
01:00:35annie how about turning this exhibition into a second season of the documentary
01:00:41we can talk about it i told you you were never just a translator
01:00:47louie anderson stood in the corner of the exhibition hall staying away from the front he was wearing a
01:00:51black suit hands in my pockets watching me do interviews under the spotlight that look in his eyes
01:00:56you are someone i didn't want to miss
01:01:04mrs smith you are fluent in eight languages but i heard you spent three years as a junior
01:01:08translator at a trading company making only 24 000 a year yes why did you hide your abilities
01:01:17because i was running away every language was tied to memories of my parents
01:01:22i thought if i hid them away it would stop hurting but later i realized that languages do not disappear
01:01:28just because you refuse to speak them they stay in your blood waiting for you to speak what finally
01:01:33made you decide to speak up a letter my father wrote it he said if i have the ability to
01:01:40make a
01:01:40difference i should use it on the second day of the exhibition someone unexpected showed up
01:01:48scarlet what are you doing here i thought on the news your father collected these yes they are
01:01:57beautiful annie i owe you an apology you do not have to let me speak i was jealous of you
01:02:04i had been
01:02:05jealous since the first time you opened your mouth and spoke german it took me seven years to climb up
01:02:10team leader but you were already above me without even trying i could not accept that so you chose
01:02:15to frame me yes and then i paid the price after i left white global that german contracted the
01:02:21translation company you heard about it right i did because you used to correct my work i never knew
01:02:26what my real level was once you were not there anymore i finally realized starlet your hard work
01:02:30was real those seven years of german were not wasted either you just chose the wrong direction at
01:02:33certain moments you don't hate me no the four screenshots are in the past now you really are
01:02:41different from before back then i cannot even face myself the exhibition is wonderful your father must be
01:02:47very happy the exhibition ran for two months across five cities with more than 120 000 visitors in total
01:03:07after the closing ceremony louis anderson found me on the hotel terrace tired a little five cities two
01:03:15months you handled all the narration translation work across every language by yourself i am used to it do
01:03:21not get used to carrying everything alone this is not a proposal so don't be nervous it's custom made
01:03:29because you said your father once told you that you were the bridge this there is a line engraved on
01:03:36the bridge it has the word bridge engraved in nine languages the ninth language is russian i studied
01:03:43for three months just to learn one word the cairo night wind swept across the terrace in the distance the
01:03:49banks of the nile were bright with lights muley anderson you really are what
01:03:58too good at this only with you
01:04:08five years later crownwell's international cultural exchange department had become an industry denmark
01:04:13it ran more than 20 cross-cultural projects every year with revenue exceeding 200 million
01:04:18revenue revenue is up another 30 percent this year your salary should be adjusted this year
01:04:24to how much can you tell me one dollar
01:04:30seriously put the rest into a scholarship to support young people studying languages name it after
01:04:35my parents the michael smith and evelyn chen language scholarship how do you know my mother's
01:04:40name i am your husband how could i not know your mother's name outside the window was the skyline of
01:04:46the whole city it was no longer that rental apartment with the broken heating but sometimes
01:04:50i still think of that window and the nights when i crouched there eating soup back then i was fluent
01:04:55in eight
01:04:56languages made three thousand dollars a year and rejected a ten million dollar inheritance i hid
01:05:00myself in the deepest corner thinking that as long as i stayed silent it would not hurt in his letter
01:05:05my
01:05:05father wrote be brave enough to be yourself it took me a long time to understand that but luckily i
01:05:14did it
