My name is Gabriel

MY NAME IS GABRIEL

SEOUL / DUBLIN

Dublin?

I was in this unfamiliar city. It felt very strange.

You don't know whose life you're going to live.

My name... What is it?

My name is Ruaidhri O Dalaigh.

-A singer? - I think he is.

A choir.

HE MET HIS GOOD FRIENDS FOR THE FIRST TIME

Actually, I've forgotten my memory.

How do I pronounce my name?

Rory!

- Rory? - I found my name.

My name is Ruaidhri.

Am I the leader of the choir?

Yes, you are.

The leader of a choir?

RUAIDHRI IS THE LEADER

Wow!

Hi, everyone!

We have two days' time to perform.

-Two days left? -Yeah.

- Performing in two days? - Really?

WILL RUAIDHRI BE ABLE TO DO WELL?

Okay.

Do I become that person when I arrive?

Will someone come to me first?

- Hello. - Matching shirts!

Who are you?

I'm your wife.

Wow! The wife!

-Pioot. -Yeah.

My name is Pioot?

This is crazy.

We have one daughter.

- Six months. -Six months?

- Six months? - Six months?

My hometown is beautiful.

-My house? -Yes.

POP

- Is she the daughter? - She's not a baby!

- My daughter? - Is she the daughter?

She said she was six months old.

She's so pretty. This is crazy.

Si, Su, Jaem. Nallan?

Do you want to sell som tam?

You sell som tam?

How much som tam do we sell?

This is bad.

Som tam!

It's driving me crazy to think about what will happen tomorrow.

BUT

Wait a second. Where did I park the motorcycle?

I'm sorry.

My bike. My bike is lost.

I don't... Looking for my bike.

- He hasn't started selling. -He lost it?

He already has debt.

I didn't get lost. I lost my bike.

This is bad. I'm so stupid.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE TWO GABRIELS?

HIS TO-DO LIST IS PACKED

HOUSE PARTY WITH FRIENDS

MEET PARENTS

Oh, you look so well.

So we missed you.

HIS PARENTS GREET HIM WARMLY

We bought you the piano. Remember?

PIANO FULL OF RUAIDHRI'S MEMORIES

HE PLAYS THE PIANO WITH ALL HIS HEART

They were looking at me

with loving eyes which made me tear up.

WHY DID RUAIDHRI CRY?

THE HOMELAND OF STOUT, IRELAND, BECOMES EVEN BUSIER AT NIGHT

-Are they going to a pub? -They're finally having beer?

-It's like those pubs in movies. -We waited for a week.

HE VISITS THE PUB WHERE THE RAMPARTS ARE REGULARS

CHEERS

Thank you.

-It's dark beer. -Dark!

They are famous for dark beer.

You know, Jebb can drink this in three seconds.

-Three seconds? -Yeah.

He drinks it all at once.

What?

-All at once? -Yes.

JEBB'S DARK BEER CHUGGING SHOW

READY TO RECORD

Wow.

His throat is wide open.

EXACTLY THREE SECONDS

THEY ARE HAVING A REAL PARTY

So what do you think of the Guinness?

Because we know you love Guinness.

Yeah, I love it.

You're a heavy drinker?

-No. -You like drinking?

-You rarely drink, right? -Right.

THEY SAY RUAIDHRI LIKES DARK BEER

I didn't know how much I could drink, since I rarely drink.

But after rehearsal, we went to drink every time.

And one glass led to two or three.

I think I'll become a heavyweight.

THE NEXT DAY AND THEN THE DAY AFTER THAT

He can't stop drinking.

EVEN HIS LIVER IS IN SYNC WITH RUAIDHRI'S

What was your favorite song tonight?

Tonight?

Falling Slowly?

Falling Slowly, yeah.

That's one of our oldest songs.

We started doing that at the start, when the choir began.

Ruaidhri got to sing, uh, Falling Slowly on stage with...

Yeah. We got invited to go see Once, the musical.

On BBC?

Then they asked us to sing Falling Slowly after the show.

Which was cool. Yeah.

Which of course you remember because you were there.

You know of course. Why am I telling you?

OUR MEMORIES THAT DON'T NEED EXPLAINING?

Even I'm flustered and confused,

but they don't seem flustered or confused at all.

And they treat me as if I am actually Ruaidhri,

which makes me flustered.

He's more...

Is this your first time in Dublin?

He's been in Dublin

-for 45 years. -I live here.

Sorry.

Are you crazy?

I've known you since I was a child.

I've known you forever.

-What age were you when you met Ruaidhri? -I met Ruaidhri when I was 12.

-Twelve years old? -Twelve years old.

-How old are you? -I'm 20.

-So we met eight years ago. -Yeah, we go way back.

When I was in school.

-When I was a little boy. -I met you when I was 19?

- It's been so long. - I'm 27 now.

It means Ruaidhri and his friends got along well.

- Changed my life. It did. -Changed my life. Absolutely.

He's my only singing experience in my entire life.

I've never sung without Ruaidhri.

I never would've sung if it wasn't for Ruaidhri.

It's all you. Thank you.

We love you.

I changed...

- Is he crying? -It is touching.

Someone I don't know

-Because of me. -changed the life of others.

It's touching.

TYPE F RUAIDHRI IS TEARING UP WHILE TYPE T IS DRIED OUT

So he changed your life?

Definitely. It's the reason I'm doing this, you know.

And then I met you as a kid, and it's all I knew.

It's my favorite thing to do.

I've been in choir ever since I met Ruaidhri.

-Sorry. Ever since you met... -Ever since I met you.

Ever since I met you!

-You're our guy. -We love you.

Bogum, are you crying again?

-He's starting to get drunk. -No.

He's getting drunk on air.

He cried twice in one day.

I think I'd be touched too.

- Yes. - Right.

"I'm so grateful and happy because of Ruaidhri."

They said, "I got into music because of him,"

and it made me realize that Ruaidhri inspired a lot of people

and influenced them in a good way.

You're our guy.

-We love you. -We love you, Ruaidhri.

You know,

friends don't normally say they love each other.

I think Ruaidhri was like a mentor too.

-Right. - Friends don't say that easily.

-Right. -They know,

-but they don't say it. -Yes.

It just shows what a great guy Ruaidhri is.

-You can feel it and you feel touched. - Right.

Do you have a pitch pipe?

- No way. - What?

They're singing here?

BEEP

THE OWNER GETS BUSY AS HE HEARS THE PITCH PIPE

The pub was already playing music, but then it just turned off.

As soon as the music was turned off,

with this, they began to sing.

WITH A PITCH PIPE, ANYWHERE CAN BE A STAGE

They don't need instruments.

Wow, it's like a movie.

RUAIDHRI AND THE OTHERS ARE IMMERSED

Wow.

THE RAMPARTS TURNED THE PUB INTO A STAGE WITH JUST THEIR VOICES

Ramparts.

It'd be amazing if you heard it there.

I wish they could come to Korea.
