All language subtitles for The Ambassador s01e02 Women & Climate & Peace.eng

As the ambassador, I'm selling
something much greater.

Us. Sweden.

The honest
and responsible alternative.

As you all know,
Axel will be assisting us

in what we all hope will be
a great export victory for Sweden.

They sent you for no reason.

Business Sweden
doesn't need checking.

The Foreign Office must disagree,
since they sent me here.

Peter, freelance journalist.

These deals usually
don't marry well with ethics.

If I find something,
I will write about it.

We have nothing to hide.

THE AMBASSADOR

Business Sweden are
helping organise the event,

but I decide what's appropriate.

That's why I want you to see this.
And my boss wants to split the bill.

Send the bill to the tax payers,
right.

Every party has it's focal point.
A buffet table, a karaoke machine,

a drunk old guy who says:
"This is our little secret".

This is our focal point.

Oh.

Fascinating. Does she do
anything other than eating?

She's just putting it together.
There.

I guess the impact would have been
greater if it had been unpacked.

It's a simulator.

What does it simulate?
The drunk old guy?

Our fighter jets, that the guest
will be able to test drive tonight.

Hang on, just so I understand...

The guests arrive,
they get to have few drinks,

we talk about Swedish values,

and then they can sit down and
blow up a country of their choosing?

Absolutely brilliant.

Excuse me?

Is anyone out here the least bit
interested in what my job is?

Good.

One of my tasks is being in
charge of the morning meeting.

It started three minutes ago.

Thirty guests have said yes,
sixteen have said no.

Five have been to busy to reply.

Please tell me Brazil said no.

They're one of the five.
They have until lunch to respond.

The rest of guests arrive at 6pm.

And then, the Top Gun -machine
will be ready for lift off!

Take off.

-Huh?
-Take off.

For a helicopter, it's lift off.
They go straight up. Take off...

I know it's only "lift off"
for helicopters.

And VTOL-planes.

Vertical take off
and landing air crafts.

Flexible hours, is it?
There's a meeting.

Oh, Super Mario
has started working here.

This is Maverick from Top Gun .
"And I'm Goose."

-"I feel the need."
-"The need for speed."

"Take me to bed
or lose me forever."

That's from Top Gun , as well.
It's the line everyone remembers.

Okay, Isabella Aldana,
trade minister.

Oscar Rivera, defence minister.

Miguel Garcia,
Minister for Enterprise.

Learn the names, learn the faces.

Learn which name
belongs to what face,

and burn the names and faces into
your retinas and corpus callosums.

I think they understand.

Andreas' obvious cough
means he wants to say something.

I just want to remind you
of the purpose of the event.

We want to sell our jets to Mexico.

Thank you. I want to add that
breakfast is the most important meal

and that people take summer holidays.

Does anyone else
want to say something obvious?

No one? Ronja, go ahead.

-Cold is colder than warm?
-Great.

That's enough, Jeanette.

You're all aware
of how much effort I, or we,

have put into this evening
and how important it is for Sweden.

And for those of us who think
that the offer to the Mexicans

also makes a difference,

could we just work
and skip this mixer?

This is a targeted event.

On the scale of "mixer"
and "targeted event",

there's both informal events
and formal happenings.

I wasn't done,
so I'm going to continue.

Come to be with any issues,
I will be the SC.

Sorry if this hurts anyone's
feelings, but what is an SC?

Strategic commander.

We need to follow my plan.
That goes for you too.

Speaking of plans, Thomas and Ronja
are leaving this morning

to give books to children.

This is part of Ronja's internship.

And Thomas just said
that he's looking forward to it.

Didn't you, Thomas?

That sounds great. Let's get to work!

I can't go with Ronja.
I need to focus on the party.

You just need to focus on your speech
and you'll improvise that.

You make it sound like that's bad.

Brazil are no longer an unknown.

Sorry?

-Hope you've worked on your lambada.
-Damn it!

Come on, Thomas.

You've promised Ronja twice and
changed your mind at the last second.

Exactly. Twice is a tradition
and here, we uphold tradition.

Both the Danish and Norwegian
ambassador will be there.

Do you want to be the only ambassador

that won't do work
for poor children?

Think about it.
The correct answer is no.

I got your text.

"I need my relay doctor's
combination"?

That's the damn auto correct
on my phone.

I need my strategic commander.

-That's me. I'm listening.
-I have a job for you.

I want you to personally deal with
the Brazilian ambassador tonight.

We've sold jets to Brazil and
Mexico probably want some references.

Okay. But that's fine, right?

The Brazil deal was a great deal.

Yeah, the Brazilians love us.

The problem is that their ambassador
quite likes a tipple.

For a while,
then the happiness turns to anger.

Are you talking about
a professional diplomat?

Very professional,
but a party's a party. It's cultural.

So it's "cultural" to get drunk and
angry when representing your country?

She might have an addiction issue.
Aren't you doing the counter trades?

-Yes.
-Have a seat.

And if Her Excellency
gets drunk and crazy and

has to be escorted off the premises,
it's bad for the references.

-I'll make sure she's not too happy.
-Strategic commander. Dismissed.

I know you're afraid to ask,
but the answer is yes.

You can dance with me tonight.

Sorry to disappoint you.
I won't be going to the party.

-Were you not invited?
-I don't have time to party.

My job is to find all the mistakes
that you've made.

You'll have to work hard then.

I know.

To find any mistakes, I mean.
Not because I've made so many.

Isabelle.

You're an easygoing girl who prefers
to talk about her work to working.

Of course I'll find mistakes.

So you think I'm an easygoing girl?
Great. I'll see you later.

Call me. Just joking.

These children have lost
their parents to drugs.

That's so sad.

It's important for their futures
that they learn to read.

Very important. Just a moment.

Andreas, in Sweden,
there's one exotic animal - the elk.

People travel from all over the world
to see it.

Why don't we have
any elk hors d'oeuvres?

You're head of communication.
Communicate it to the kitchen.

Anyway...

Each ambassador has been tasked
with choosing a favourite book.

No, not me.

Yes, if you had read my email. But...

I chose a book for you. Here you go.

- "Karlsson del tejado"?
-Karlsson on the roof.

My Spanish is decent, but is this
the best Sweden has to offer?

Karlsson...

Some people think Astrid Lindgren
should have won the Nobel Prize.

For which of her works, do you mean?

"The Academy specifically
want to highlight

'Pippi celebrates Christmas'.
A poignant portrayal of alienation".

Shall we continue the briefing?

-Mr Commandant.
-Yes?

The trade minister's staff called.
She won't be able to come.

Was it serious?

She's going
to her niece's dance recital.

I only checked the guests' closest
family events. Lesson learned.

Write a draft for my speech.
Mention "Swedish steel".

Is it Thomas?

DON'T FORGET THE ELK!

-How did you know?
-Your face.

As if the laxative just kicked in.

Good comparison.

Maybe Mr Commandant should inform
the troops about the change.

Commandant... You're saying
the wrong thing on purpose.

Where are you going?

-Hola.
-Hola.

This is Knerten.

-Knerten.
- Sí. Knerten .

"Knert"?

Only in Norway can a story
about a dry stick

be seen as great literature.

It's the oil. They're so rich,
they don't have to worry.

This one, on the other hand.

The Ugly Duckling . It's fantastic.

You think?
I've never been much for bird books.

This, however.

Many people think Astrid Lindgren
should have received the Nobel Prize.

Excuse me...

One less face to connect to a name,

and one less name to burn
into whatever it was...

-The retina and corpus callosum.
-We get it.

Even though it medically
works differently.

Anatomically, it works differently.

The strategy has changed,

since our three main characters
are down to two...all of a sudden.

I will need your full attention.

Strategy document A1 is out.
Forget about it.

Now we'll focus
on strategy document B2.

I'm going to go through it.

-I guess that's what you...
-No, that's not what I'm wondering.

-I'm wondering why I'm here.
-Existentialism.

Here. At this meeting. Now.

I'm not even going to the mixer.
Sorry, the targeted event.

It's Thomas. Hello?

I'm a bit delayed.
The Dane is up there now.

If I'd understood what he said,
I would have punched him.

H.C. Andersen... Has that country
even had another author?

I don't know. Blixen, Kierkegaard,
are two I can think of.

-I have to tell you something...
-Maybe those two, then.

We've had a cancellation.
The trade minister's out.

-What the hell is going on?
-She has very personal reasons.

We'll figure out a new strategy
when I'm back.

That's not necessary.
I'm handling the strategy.

Strategy A1 will become B2.

-I'm going through...
-...the ambassador of Sweden!

- Hola , kids.
- Hola.

Hello? Damn it.

Well then! Hello?

B2 was made

in case only the defence minister
and minister for enterprise attend.

-That strategy won't work.
-Of course it will.

-Where the hell did that come from?
-It'll just be the one.

Well, I...

Karlsson de tejado ,
by Astrid Lindgren.

A handsome, thoroughly clever
and suitably portly man in his prime.

-With a "propellar" on his back.
-Propeller.

The end. Gracias .

Keep going, Thomas.
You've just started.

My job is to sell things
that can actually fly.

If you keep me here,
I'm going to make sure

that the fighter jets, 6.5 tonnes of
Swedish steel, fitted with missiles,

make this their primary target.

Nora, Mikael. Thank you for your
invaluable contributions. Children...

The future, right?

Sorry I snapped at you.

Of course I don't want
to annihilate any children.

You just think they're worth
a little less than Swedish jets.

No. Well, maybe,
in strictly monetary terms,

but you can't compare the two.

-Hola.
-Hola.

-Hola.
-Sorry?

Are you still in control???

She says she wishes she could fly,
like Karlsson on the roof.

Me too,
then we might make it in time.

She's asking if you can lift her up,
so she can go for a ride.

Dear God...

-Here.
-Thank you.

Hola. Come here.

-Andreas is calling.
-Tell him we're on our way.

Hello?

He says the minister for enterprise
has pulled out too.

Should I...?

Oh my God!

I'll call you back.

Damn it! Hello? Hello, chica?

You should greet the guests.
They're on their way in.

I just have to read through
the new strategy, C3.

Why did the minister for enterprise
cancel?

Was he helping a second cousin move?

Andreas, go on.

-She's here.
-Put that down!

-She's not a criminal.
-Your memo said she's wanted.

Madam Ambassador!
Welcome to Sweden.

I'm ready to party!

My name is Andreas. I will be
your escort for the evening.

Will you?

As we say in Sweden: We have
non-alcoholic beverages as well.

Sorry.

Just a second.

I have to call my relay doctor.

Only a very short second. There's
a gin and tonic with my name on it.

I'm with the target now.
She's already thirsty.

What? What do you mean, "hospital"?
What's happened?

Does the press know?

Calm down, I have to think.
I'll call you back. Bye.

Could you get me a car?

-You're leaving already?
-Yeah, I am.

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

Hi.

Aren't you dealing
with the ambassador?

The one that gets tipsy
or the one that assaults orphans?

The press is already gathered,
headed up by Peter, the freelancer.

What did you say?

That I'd make
an official statement later.

Damn it!

The party, the speech...
We have to get out of here.

Can't we just leave?

You might be playing
Russian roulette with the media

if you leave her alone.
They could write anything.

Okay, this is what we'll do.

Ronja, you find the doctor.

Andreas, you calm the press and
I'll try and get a hold of someone

who can make sure
the Brazilian doesn't drink too much.

Can't Birgitta do that?

Yes, if we want the envoy
of the Brazilian state

to have the day's second concussion.

What about Jeanette?

No, sorry.
I heard how stupid that sounded.

See you.

Hi, Axel. This is your boss.

Cheers.

You know a Long Island iced tea
is not a shot, right?

You wanna do shots?

No.

I wanted to talk to you
about something.

-Counter trades.
-Counter trades?

Strictly from a financial aspect,
I find that...

From a financial aspect,

I find that the assumptive revenue
is based on an arbitrary foundation.

I have two opinions.

What are they?

One, you really should practice
your small talk.

Two, I think you should get me
another drink.

Yeah...

Is it more convenient
to give you a bottle?

Or a hose.

Oh, I must be getting drunk,

because I can't tell if that was
a joke or a very rude insult.

-Look, she's reading.
-Mm.

Hola . Maybe we did do
a good deed here today, after all.

Except for the hospital visit
and the skull fracture, of course.

Thank you for reminding me.

What if we could get more people
to care about the kids?

I don't want to sound cynical,

but I don't think they can get people
to turn off Strictly Come Dancing

and get on the barricades.

That's too bad.
That you don't want to sound cynical.

Thomas isn't entirely wrong.

A new survey shows
that what people really care about

the women's issue, the climate
and peace.

What happened to poverty
and starvation?

That's passé.

A great humanist has spoken.

I'm sorry,
but I don't make the rules.

I spoke to the doctor.
No concussion. She's okay.

-The orphanage will pick her up.
-Thank you!

-Let's go.
-That's not an option.

The press is right outside.
We can't leave her alone.

That doesn't look good.

We can't sit here
for another two hours.

Do you have a better idea?

You're so funny, Isabelle.

Not like your friend here.
So boring!

You're both right and wrong.

He's boring,
but he's not my friend.

I'm glad
I can add to the entertainment.

You're the one who asked me to help.

To make her stop drinking,
not to bring yourself to her level.

So what did Mr Boring here say?

He just asked me
if I wanted to dance.

He's been dying to dance with me
all day.

Oh, Mr Boring. You're a dancer?

People say Swedish are
the worst dancers in the world.

Okay, what do you say,
Mrs ambassadora de Brasil?

Should I let him dance with me?

No.

You should hold my glass.

Come with me. Show me your hips.

Come on, Mr Boring.

-How late are we?
-Late.

But there's time for your speech.

-Did you get my draft?
-Yes.

-Good. have you read it?
-No.

Great. Just as usual, then.

Ronja, here.
Let her play in the simulator.

Is that suitable for a child?
Shooting rockets?

The correct term is "missiles".

Stay here. I'll get the music
turned down and get you a mic.

Ladies and gentlemen.
I know I'm a bit late.

I had to save a little girl today
who believed she could fly.

That's fine, the dream of conquering
the air is as old as mankind,

but if you want to fly safely,
you should chose a Swedish air plane.

-Enjoying the simulator, little girl?
-Her name is Alicia.

Whose name is Alicia.

She says it's boring.

Maybe you're a bit too young
for a fighter jet,

but I bet the rest of you
will have a great time

experiencing Swedish power
at its prime.

Especially our special guest, the
Mexican defence minister, mr Rivera.

Where are you?

Ah, you are here.

Best news this evening.

And for the rest of you,
equally important people,

welcome to our party.

Alicia wants something. Do you
want to try the jet fighter again?

She's wondering why you're
selling things that kill people.

Well... Okay...
That was not anything important.

-Let's move on then.
-Excuse me.

Why don't you answer?

Why are you selling
these killing machines?

No, no.
They're not killing machines.

Well, they can be. Of course.

Oh boy, they really can be.

But only bad people, Alicia,
bad hombres .

Let's move on then. We have
a special cold cut with elk...

You still haven't
answered the question.

It's too complicated
for a short answer,

but let me tell you
that we at the embassy

have a lot of other projects that
will make the world a better place.

Like what?

Like...

We have one called...

women...

Women?

and climate.

Women and climate?

And peace.
Women and Climate and Peace.

A fantastic project,
that focuses on what people

really think matters today.

But now, please enjoy.

There's a cold cut with elk, so...

Cheers, skål and salud!

To summarise:
The only person we wanted to come

arrived and left straight away.

Yes, after he heard
about the horrors of war

from a small child.

A child I threw onto the ground
and then kidnapped from the hospital.

Not a bad day's work.

The simulator?

Jeanette had set it up so it was
as advanced as a real plane.

-So people crashed instantly.
-Perfect.

-And the party girl from Brazil?
-She's asleep.

-Did you have to throw her out?
-No, Axel helped me.

We put her in the simulator.

So the references
shouldn't be a problem.

So overall,
we'll view it as a victory.

Birgitta? Cheers.
