All language subtitles for The Ambassador s01e10 The Deal.eng

You're doing this job together.

We have to convince them that we're
the best people to do business with.

Sweden v France. Only one country
can get the contract.

Isn't it strange

that we'll know if we've won
a 30 billion SEK deal at a party?

To close the air plane deal,

the Mexican government demands that
we end the collaboration with Naoli.

Thomas, I know you have tough job,

but sometimes, you need to take a
stand for what you truly believe in.

End the collaboration, and I'll make
sure you get to Washington.

THE AMBASSADOR

Today, Mexico is expected to decide
who will make their new fighter jets.

SÖ 2014:6.

...Sweden and France.
Sweden's foreign minister

who is in Mexico City
says that she is hopeful,

and hopes that the last pieces of the
puzzle will fall into place today.

The air plane contract...

Hi, Ronja.
Have you got a hold of her?

Who do you think?
The duchess of Cambridge?

No, I don't want you
to get a hold of her.

Listen.

-SÖ 2019:8/4B?
-Yes. Check.

You don't have to say "check". We're
selling planes, not starting them.

The foreign minister is hopeful.
She's hopeful!

Did you miss that some pieces
of the puzzle must fall into place?

I've drafted two press releases. One
in case we win at the award party.

And one in case the thing
that won't happen happens.

I thought it was clever. "If the
thing that won't happen happens."

Come on, it wasn't that bad, right?

What would you say
if I said that I think that...

I'm one of those pieces
of the puzzle?

I'd say that your self-image
is a bit...

How should I put it? Grandiose.

-Are you calling me a narcissist?
-No.

Not medically, at least.

You've given so much in this project.
There isn't anything else you can do.

-Is that what you think?
-I know it.

-I think.
-Andreas.

If you could have
everything you've dreamt of,

if you gave up everything
you've believed in...

Would you do it?

First, it's puzzle pieces,
now it's riddles.

I didn't know it was the day
of board games today.

Yes. Sí. Sí.

They're here now, the Mexicans.

-Strong and hard.
-Strong and hard.

Okay. Ready?

-I've never been...
-Less ready in your life?

Me neither.

Our last chance
to convince the Mexicans

that we're the best provider
of expensive planes.

Can we do this?

Axel...

There is no "we".
You just have to accept that.

-The boxes, do I carry them all?
-Check.

Axel and Isabelle just disappeared.
What are they doing? Nothing.

Just win a contract for Sweden
that is worth 30 billion SEK.

Shouldn't you, as the ambassador,
talk to them?

-Sorry, I had lots to think about.
-Right.

Lots to think about?
What were you thinking about?

It's a riddle I can't solve. If you
can get everything you've dreamt of,

but you have to give up everything
you've believed in. What do you do?

That's not quite what I said.
Forget it.

Am I interrupting?

They're solving a riddle.
Something about dreams.

Do you know what I dreamt?
That there was peace on earth.

To achieve that, we have to reach
an agreement with Naoli.

She wants a meeting.

-Did you get a hold of her?
-Yes.

She's made a decision
about the certification criteria.

What's her answer?

How would I know? I haven't seen her.

No, the riddle.

I actually don't know, Andreas.

-Señor Embajador.
-Señora Bolano. Always a pleasure.

I'm sure it's not.

Have you decided
about the certifications?

Yes. They're very important to me.

That is why I decided to hold back
on some of my demands.

What?

I mean... Really?

Because, if you can't compromise
and want to leave the WCP project,

I would totally respect that.
A lot of people would.

Señor Embajador, sometimes you
need to give a little to get a lot.

Yeah... But what if that little
thing is all you ever believed in?

What are we talking about here?

I think it's some kind of riddle.
He's been telling it all morning.

Okay.

So, read it through.

See if you agree,
and let's make this a better world.

-For a better world.
-A better world.

Naoli is in!

Or, first she has to lower her
demands, which isn't great.

Then we have to approve the criteria.

Or, Stockholm have to
approve the criteria.

I think you might have to work a bit
on entering dramatically.

Is Thomas here? We have to go through
the schedule for the award party.

No, he was going somewhere.
But, Birgitta...

Do you see what this could
mean for the whole WCP movement?

What did you say there?

-Naoli...
-I heard. Lowered criteria.

-But where is Thomas?
-I don't know.

He dropped me off here.
He had to run an errand.

Errand? What errand? He doesn't run
any errands. What's the errand?

For those who weren't listening:
I don't know.

What is it?

Thomas never ever
goes anywhere alone.

He's gone rogue.

Everybody! We've got an ambassador
whose whereabouts are unknown.

Before we can find him,
it's officially... Oficialmente...

Code red.

Code... Sí.

Well spoken.

José. In a few seconds your phone
will ring. Please don't answer it.

Okay.

If someone will ask you, you tell
them I told you not to answer.

Sí, señor.

This is all on me.

Today, everything's on me.

I understand.

Yes. Let's talk later. Good.
Thanks. Bye.

Madame foreign minister.

The US is saying no to the UN
resolution in Saudi Arabia.

Three years of work down the drain.
Thanks.

-We'll get them to change their mind.
-We?

The rest of the world, with Sweden
at the forefront, led by you.

Do you think? They always get
what they want in the end.

-Have you met the president?
-Not yet.

But you will soon.

I don't have that long.

The Mexicans are waiting for my reply
and I'm waiting for yours.

My answer is that there must be
another way to do this.

Bolano has agreed to lower
the certification criteria.

It's not about the certification
or Women, Climate and Peace.

She is the problem.
She must be removed.

-This is about democratic values.
-Stop! Don't give me that.

-I thought it could give a context.
-I'll give you a context.

I'm your foreign minister.

That leader at the forefront
that you spoke about.

I'm asking you for a favour
for your country.

I won't do it. I won't fire Naoli.

I thought you wanted
to go to Washington.

I want to go to Washington,
but not this way.

That dream is worth nothing if I have
to give up what I believe in.

What do you believe in?

The right to sip champagne and talk
about other times you've done it?

I believe in Sweden,
the responsible and honest option.

-Sure, you have to fudge sometimes.
-Your specialism.

Not when it comes to our core values.

We're not promoting corruption
for a little bit of money.

30 billion SEK isn't a little bit of
money. You don't see the big picture.

-That's exactly what I'm doing.
-Okay.

Just so you know, we lose the deal
because of your actions,

if their defence minister awards
France the contract,

you can look for a new job.

This could be your last day
at the embassy, Thomas.

And you don't need to come
to the party tonight.

Hi, Naoli. This is Thomas Hofwander
leaving a message.

I just wanted to say
that we have a deal

concerning the WCP certification.

I'm looking forward to making
this world a better place.

You and me.
Or whoever might replace me.

Whenever that happens. Bye.

-How can he not get in touch?
-I don't know. I can't reach him.

Oh my God!

Did something happen?

-Where the hell have you been?
-Out.

Can I talk to you?

Out?

-Is that your answer?
-Yes, as I recall it.

If you'd been a teenager and been out
drinking French country wine

"out" would have been okay.
But you're an ambassador.

And you've been out and about in one
of the world's most dangerous cities.

It's not so bad if you disregard
kidnappings and drug cartels.

The real danger might be the people
we've looked up to the most.

-The leaders of society.
-Yes...

-You've been drinking. Perfect!
-The schedule for the awards party.

It's not my problem anymore,
because I'm not invited.

How did the committee hearing go?

Good. For once, Axel wasn't
completely useless.

-We're in with a chance of winning.
-Perfect!

-Unfortunately, I can't join you.
-What do you mean?

You're the ambassador. The ambassador
is meant to lead the troops.

-The big battle... The fight...
-Thanks. Thanks, Jeanette.

The foreign minister has given me
a different job.

-What job?
-Staying here.

Or...

This means that I have to stay here
and deal with that job.

So...

Friends. Amigos.

Regardless of the outcome tonight,
this has been a victory.

Regardless of what happens, I want
you to hold your heads high.

I can't tell describe what an
honour it has been working with you.

You've been my family.

-Yes?
-Can you at least tell us something?

What area is the job within?
Does it affect my sector?

Jeanette. Now is a good time
to go to the party.

Get going. Go on.

-Yes...
-Have a good time.

Take care.

-Pretty good gang.
-Pretty good?

Didn't I tell you to go?

Is your job in danger?

-Why would you say that?
-I thought that...

if Sweden's foreign minister tells an
ambassador to stay away tonight,

she's so angry
that your job should in danger.

Or she just wants to the best looking
one at the party.

How bad is it?

Not that bad.

If France wins, I go home.

Do you know if we have
any moving boxes?

-Thanks, I need that.
-Me too.

Gracias.

Is it unusually hot? I can't breathe.
I can't eat either.

Shouldn't we gather for the start?

Ladies and gentlemen,
admiral Sergio Sanchez.

It's happening.

The event should have started.
Why isn't he calling?

Yes?

Sanchez is on stage.
I repeat, Sanchez is on stage.

Damn! I dropped my food!

Señoras, señores.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time.

After years of preparations
and negotiations,

we have decided who will be the
provider of our new fighter jets.

But before we get to that,

I'd like to invite you all
who have been a...

-What is he saying now?
-He's saying:

"We've invited you because you've
worked on this. Blah, blah, blah."

He's not getting to it.

Sweden...

You made a good case all the way.

I have had so many good talks
with the ambassador.

Thomas Hofwander, where are you?

-What is he saying now?
-I can't quite hear.

He keeps talking about Sweden.

Now he's saying...

He's saying...

We didn't get it.

We didn't get it.

Thanks, Andreas.

I think I need more moving boxes.

Hello, Andreas.

Did you want anything in particular?

France didn't get it either.

What?

Another country came in with a late
bid that was too good to decline.

The US?

Yes. How did you know?
Are you psychic?

The Americans always get
what they want.

They've fooled us from the start.

This crap is rigged! It's rigged!

What does this mean?

Mexico have used the rest of us
as leverage

to get a better deal with those
they prefer to do business with.

That's not what I meant.
What does this mean for...

This?

Andreas, I've declined the call.
Aren't you taking the hint?

Thomas, it's the foreign minister.

I need my sleep. Lack of sleep
can cause depression...

Diabetes and death. Sometimes it
feels like you could cause that too.

He just wanted a quick debrief. Then
you can die, both of you. Great fun.

Welcome home
to our little miniature Sweden.

What are we celebrating?
We didn't win.

But we didn't lose either.
Sometimes that's just as important.

And to quote the foreign minister:

"Sometimes we're just pawns
in a greater political game."

-And that's worth celebrating?
-Parts of it. The first part.

-And with that said...
-The press release!

If what wouldn't happen happens.
It has happened, so I have send it.

-I think...
-Will I go back to Business Sweden?

I don't know. Ask your boss.

We all still have our jobs.
Our positions don't matter.

I think we'll deal
with all of this on Monday.

Now, let's fill our glasses
and celebrate

that we're together
like a big family.

I've sent it now.
I have to give him a ride home.

You've set this up nicely.
See you on Monday.

Okay.

Birgitta.

Cheers.

Nice that they left.

ONE MONTH LATER

Bienvenidos! Welcome to the Women
and Climate and Peace Conference

featuring WCP ambassador
Naoli Bolano.

But first,
tonight's opening speaker.

Hello, everybody.

It's such a great honour for me
to present

the first annual Women and Climate
and Peace Conference.

And just as big an honour
to be its opening speaker.

Let's talk about women,

and climate and peace.

Generous of you
to let Ronja give the speech.

She's the one
who has been running this.

If I'm honest, I'm not really sure
about what this project is about.

Or how we got it this far.

Sometimes something might be
so strong that it's indestructible.

No, I don't think that's it.

Good that you came back.
For Ronja's sake, that is.

-Don't get unreasonable expectations.
-What expectations?

That there's ever a point
to the things you say?

I don't like it when there's this
many people. It stresses me out.

-It's hard to breathe.
-Be quiet and listen to Ronja.

We still have time
to change the world.

Right now, right here.
But why stop there?

I'm very proud to say
welcome to this conference!

But this would never
have been possible

without my colleagues
at the Swedish embassy.

The best workplace in the world.

Sometimes.
