- Hi, Mum. - Hi sweetheart.

Good evening. What can I offer you?

Hello. I would like an espresso, a small one. And water.

- Okay. - Thank you.

When did you grow up to be so big?

Probably when you were changing laws in the House of Commons?

Ouch. It was a rhetorical question.

I know.

How's it going there today?

By the time everyone agreed on the agenda, it was lunchtime.

And after lunch, we didn't get the sufficient amount of legislators,

so they all argued the rest of the day about whose fault it was.

What's that?

Wow, this is great! They accepted you.

I didn't doubt for a minute that you would get in. That's great!

Thanks. But I don't...

It's London, it's what you wanted. It's a huge success.

Yeah, but it's going to be expensive.

Sure, but investing in education and academics

is the best use of finances.

Mum, this isn't politics. It's school.

A pricey school all the way in England.

I know it's far, but I won't tell you what to do.

But I could fly over to visit on weekends.

You don't have time to fly to London.

- I'll make time. - Okay, Mum.

- Did you tell your dad? - Yeah, I did. He said you'd be happy.

Yeah, he was right.

Your coffee.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

I also have some news for you.

- Oh yeah? - I wanted to tell you that I'm...

That I'm pregnant.

What?

No, I'm not pregnant... How could I be pregnant?

Who would I get pregnant with?

No. Look.

You're a big girl, and you're going to study in London.

I also shouldn't get rusty, I want to be progressive.

And I love my job very much.

And I think that I can still accomplish a lot.

So, I thought about it and...

said yes in the end.

- That's great. - Yeah?

And. What?

- What what? - What did you say yes to?

I didn't tell you?

Well, I...

I'm going to run for president.

- What? - Yeah.

- For real, Mum? - I know, I know.

But I think that, after all that went on here,

it's important for somebody to return dignity to the office,

some credibility and honesty. Constitutionality.

Someone ought to try it, right?

And I would like to. I want to win.

Mum, you would be a great President, but...

But?

But everyone will be angry at you and you'll be all over the media.

That's alright.

You can't make everyone happy.

And a person can't do everything right.

But you know what I always say, it's important to try

to make this world a better place.

I know, you've been saying that forever.

Well. You see? And who's going to London?

My little girl Agatha.

Mum, I'm not a little girl.

Oh jeez, I have to get back.

Sweetie, congratulations again.

And don't worry, maybe it won't work out.

This is an unbelievable moment. Nobody expected this.

Katherine Cechova has become President of the Czech Republic.

She is the first woman in our history to do so.

Along with her Slovakian colleague, she is one of a few in the world.

How much time do you need to spend with the nurses?

At least three hours.

That's too long. We won't make it. You can have one hour.

No. It's important. Three hours.

Two.

Two and a half.

- Okay, one and a half hours. - Two and a half.

Sign here.

Katherine Cechova isn't a political newcomer.

She started as an interpreter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

She was even friends with Vaclav Havel.

She then took a distinct role in the Czech Helsinki Committee,

that has been focused on human rights

and became its chairwoman.

Office of President Katherine Cechova. How may I help you?

Yes, I know. Send me an email, please. Thank you. Bye.

- Who was it? - Mum.

Due to her popularity, patience and dedication to her work,

the House of Commons elected her the ombudsman of the Czech Republic.

- So, she'll be the chief? - Probably.

Well, then it's a good day.

- Did you visit Mum? - Yeah.

MADAM PRESIDENT

Hi.

We said until seven, right?

Here, doggy.

You already ate breakfast.

Come on, doggy.

Hey, you stay and keep guard alright?

I'll be back later. See ya.

- Hi. - Hi, Dad.

- I hope you started her up this morning. - Yeah, I did.

- Don't lie. - I'm not lying.

I can read you like a book.

- Did you pay your rent? - I did.

- And did you pay... - Yes, I paid the electric bill too.

That's good. Where are we going?

The old lady.

Mrs. Mejzlikova, Jesus.

Did you remove the logo?

You need to advertise, Dad.

- Did you see that chin? - What chin?

- Yours. - Slow down or you'll get one on it.

How did you manage to tear this out?

I don't even know.

You are really strong, Mr. Mares.

Thanks, but you don't need strength for this job.

Oh, please. What would I do without you?

You would call someone else.

That's too much. This is enough.

- No, take more. - Okay, like this then. Thank you.

- You're great. Thanks. - It's our job.

You should stop by sometime in the evening.

What do you think?

But I wouldn't see much in the evening. Come on.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

Okay, I'll give you a call when something needs fixing again.

- Yeah. - Bye.

Bye.

"You are so strong, Mr. Mares."

Cut it out, dick.

Do you want to fix something at night?

I'm gonna kill you, start her up.

I think she's started up enough.

Move, keep your distance. Left, keep your hands up.

Always in motion. Kick! Move side to side.

Nice. Dodge. Come on!

Don't let her lock you up. Don't get locked up.

Stop. Marty, come here.

Come on.

What's with you today?

I'm nervous. I keep thinking about it.

They chose you because you're the best.

- I know. - One more time then. Let's go!

It's a big responsibility. Did you study enough?

- Of course. - If you screw up, you'll be in court.

- And downgraded. - I understand. Don't worry.

I'm not a fan of emancipation.

And I don't think you should be here. Same with her.

But if you have to be here, you'll do your job like us men.

Or you'll be fired. Emancipated or not, got it?

- Yes sir, General. - Yes sir, General.

Your responsibility is to be there where women are needed. Got it?

Leave the rest to men.

But I'm supposed to be their commander.

I recommend you be very careful.

Yes, General.

And you're responsible for the physical condition of the president.

- Yes, sir. - Questions?

- No, General. - So what?

- Excuse me? - Are we going?

- Yes. - Well.

Thank you.

- Madam President. - General.

Lieutenant Osickova, your new security detail.

She'll be with you in places where men can't go.

She'll also be in charge of your physical condition

and healthy lifestyle.

You can't leave it, can you?

No, Madam President. Protocol...

The protocol is going to get us all killed someday.

- Katherine. - Yes, I know.

Martina Osickova, Madam President. It's an honour.

Lieutenant Osickova, I don't need another person hanging around.

Not a man, not a woman. Don't take it personally.

The general is overreacting.

And I won't be working out, my figure is fine.

So, keep busy and we're leaving.

- Welcome to the Titanic, Rose. - Which channel?

- Five. - Thanks.

This bill is poorly written.

So they can save some time in the House, because I will be vetoing.

- Do you have it? - Yes, of course.

The initiative to support abused women will organise an event

to support victims of sexual crimes.

Unfortunately, the summit of the Asian leaders will be in Prague as well.

But if we planned it right, we could make both.

The summit will be challenging. Logistically, it will be a nightmare.

- I would advise against it. - You should go there.

Women want to see that you're one of them.

That you're there for them.

- I should go there, and I want to go. - Is it really important?

According to how you're asking, it is important.

Work it out and put it in my itinerary.

Very good. It will get a great response. Thank you.

Excuse me, Madam President, it's the prime minister.

Hello. I'm in a hurry.-Me too.

Mrs. Homolova is blocking everything. I want to dismiss her.

Now? Someone always blocks something. Is this your first day?

I'm the prime minister, she's only a minister.

She has to listen.

She doesn't. This is a democracy, so talk it out.

Talk it out with socialists? And a woman at that.

Watch that, I won't tolerate it.

You're coalition partners, you had to have come to terms at least once.

Oh, that's just for show.

I know, you deserve that.

We won't come to terms.

I won't support it, nor will I sign it.

Education reform is in your campaign promise, get to it.

- Thank you. Goodbye. - Thank you.

- Two to one for me. - I don't think so. Three to one for me.

The day isn't over yet.

Beautiful.

Just a bunch of fat angels. I don't like this stuff, Dad.

You're an idiot.

Hi, guys.

- Hi, Arnost. - Hi.

- Beautiful, huh? - Sure is.

What do you need?

- It fell, look. - I see. Hm.

Well, this won't be easy.

I'll do what I can. But don't expect any miracles.

- That's your job. - Not me. Him.

- Grab it. - Okay.

- Matthew. - Yeah?

- How about confession? - Yes, you could.

What? I don't have anything to confess.

I hope not.

You would tell Dad anyway, I'm not doing it.

I wouldn't do that, I'm God's servant.

I know both of you well enough. See you.

How soon do you need it?

You have until eternity.

I think I could manage that.

- See you later. - Bye.

- See you tomorrow at seven? - Yeah.

- What are your plans? - I'll drop this off and I have a date.

- With whom? - With the Madonna.

Smartass.

At least I'm dating, unlike somebody.

- Do you have money? - Yes.

Matthew is strong as an ox. And I think he's studying well.

At least I hope so. It's hard to get information from him.

Oh, and he's very hard-headed.

And he's got a big mouth. He gets that from you, of course.

I took the dog to the vet to get his shots.

She scratched the doctor up.

It's a wonder she didn't bite his hand off.

He said he wanted to kill her.

But in the end...

he just gave her the injection.

Other than that, same old.

Nothing new.

So I was thinking about what to tell you today.

So, that's how it is.

Pater Hat visited the rector in Hradec after Christmas.

He confessed to his nasty jealousy,

from his miserable, devastating desire to be the only one

that can see and guard the soul of a certain woman.

Thank you. Goodnight.

Did you see the girl from internal?

- The blond? - She's beautiful.

No chance there. Where are we going?

Down.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

I travelled the whole world, there and back.

Good evening. What can I get you?

What are you doing here, bastard?

Just wait until I catch you!

Jesus.

Hi. Hi, darling.

How are you?-Hi. Did you call?

Yes, I called yesterday to see how you are doing.

Yeah, fine. How about you?

Me? I had a great day.

Great. I stayed at home and read a book.

And what are your plans for today?

My guys are coming to pick me up and I'm going to work.

Okay. Well, don't forget to comb your hair.

Oh yeah, right.

Have a great day, darling. Bye.

You too. Bye.

Bye.

Come on!

I shouldn't, but what the hell?

I'm only human after all.

But you put up a fight, I'll admit.

You're right.

To give in is human nature.

It's very nice. You should exhibit it.

Hm. I do it because I enjoy it.

That's a shame.

You could be successful.

Come on, no exhibits.

Lenka also said that you could do it.

But Lenka isn't here anymore.

And what's this?

A shoe. I found it.

And the rest as well?

What a godsend you are.

As a godsend, I can tell you that that shoe looks very stylish.

That it does.

You will speak with the academics for 30 minutes, then back to the House.

But if we hurry, we can make it.

And also a press conference after meeting with the foreign minister.

- Yes. - We're cutting it close.

Me too, I need the restroom.

- Can it wait, Madam President? - No, sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Martina!

You're outdoing yourself. 4-1 for me.

In your dreams.

Your luck will change come the afternoon.

What is your name again?

Me?

Lieutenant Martina Osickova, Madam President.

Can I call you Martina?

Yes, Madam President.

Run the water, please.

Excuse me?

Run the water, or I can't go.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm sorry, it's all still new to me.

I get it. I'm also getting used to it.

You know, to be under watch all the time is hard.

I completely understand.

But the afternoon will be better.

Today is our first training.

You're doing great, Madam President.

Breathe.

Jesus! If I survive this, I will kill you.

Stop that at once. Oh!

Stop. You're doing great.

- No I'm not, but thank you. - And this is just the beginning.

- Excuse me? - Yup.

Oh! Over my dead body, or yours.

Let's go. Continue.

- I got you, you bastard! Go! - Sorry. No!

- What are you doing here? - I'm sorry.

This is private property.

I came to apologise, yesterday I broke your statue.

That was you?

Yes, I'm sorry.

I came to pay for the damage. If you could tell me how much it cost.

I don't think you can afford it. It was priceless.

Oh, well that's a problem. I'm very sorry. What now?

Well, I guess I'll have to make a new one.

I am sorry, It was an accident.

And what were you doing here?

I was...

I was just passing and I saw your garden.

And I was admiring the proportions.

Proportions of the statues. Because they are beautiful statues.

Then why did you break it when you liked it so much?

I didn't want to. I tripped and fell.

I see.

Again, I apologise. I'm very sorry.

And I would rather go. Sorry.

Wait, don't go.

- What is your name? - Me?

You.

Katherine.

I'm Peter.

Oh.

If you promise not to break anything else,

then you can come again.

It won't happen again. Goodbye.

Katherine?

You are Katherine.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

That was nice.

Oh, it's you again? Allow me.

You didn't get too far.

What are you doing here?

I live around the corner, if you remember.

Yes. Well I apologise one more time,

I didn't mean to.

No, that's okay. I was kidding.

We're going on a walk. Want to join us?

- Thank you. - Well goodnight.

- Sure. - And don't break anything here.

Wait!

I'll come along.

On a walk.

Those statues in your garden are very pretty.

- Thank you. - You make those?

Yes. Father was a sculptor and I wanted to follow in his footsteps.

Beautiful. And that's all you do?

I mainly restore old things.

And once in a while, I make a statue for myself.

Restoration is like giving new life to old things.

- Yes. - Do you make a living with it?

Sometimes. I also teach at a school and have a small company.

I do things that people don't have time for.

So manual labour.

And what do you do?

I am...

I am a doctor.

A doctor? What kind of doctor?

- A paediatrician. - That's nice.

To be honest, I don't like going to the doctor.

I hate it.

I mean, I love my job.

But when a person goes to the doctor, they feel sick.

- That's true. - Do you have any?

- Children? - Well, I have a son.

He's grown up, studying at college.

I have a daughter. She's also grown up, studying.

- Well, that's funny. - Maybe they'll fall in love.

Well.

Well, we're here.

- Yes. I have to go anyway. - Hm.

- Do you want me to escort you? - No.

- Really? - No.

It was nice.

It was. So, thank you.

- Thanks. - And...

Will you come over sometime?

Maybe.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

- Well, goodbye. - Goodbye.

Hi, sweetie.

Hi, Mum. You look nice. What happened?

Nothing happened.

It's nice here, and it's nice to see you.

How is London?-It's great, I miss you though.

No, no way. It's not the right time.

According to studies, it's not worth it. That's a fact.

Who does these studies?

You don't tell me your sources either.

Because I research myself. Diligently.

Sure. I believe you.

- Don't argue, guys. - Sorry.

We're not arguing, we're only searching for an optimal solution, right?

Wrong.

Each one of us is unique.

And you're here to cooperate.

Don't argue. Thanks.

- Of course. - Of course.

Good day.

I don't want to run today, don't even try it.

But we're not running today, Madam President.

What about work? Are you satisfied?

I am. Thanks.

You always wanted to be a guard?

No, I wanted to be a kickboxing champion.

- Not anymore? - I broke my arm in three places.

Can't be a champion anymore.

I'm sorry. But you see, if you didn't train,

it wouldn't have happened.

It's nice out today.

You'll sleep well after this ride.

Good evening, Katherine.

Good evening.

So, I came.

I'm glad you did.

Welcome.

So...

A nice surprise.

- Shall we go for a walk? - Hm.

- With the dog? - Well.

I'll be right back.

- Are you thirsty? - No.

- Hungry? - No.

- Do you have siblings? - No, I'm an only child.

I suffered a lot being the only child.

But I had a big circle of friends around me.

I guess it's just a part of my nature.

I feel responsible for large groups.

So I always had children around me.

They came knocking at our door and wanted me to solve their problems.

That's how it is with me.

I hear you. Yes.

Europe wants to know how they should react to Kozlovova's arrest warrant.

I disagree, of course. Thank you.

So disagree with Kozlovova.

No, disagree with the warrant. We support the freedom of journalism.

Yes, I see. So watch out, disagree with leadership, not Kozlovova.

Send it for confirmation. Thanks.

Frantisek Bielik was a unique and original artist.

He made monuments and graphics. Applied arts, even architecture.

But he studied painting.

- I didn't know that. - You can't know all sculptors.

You know a lot of other things. And you save people.

Done!

Do you like basil?

- Can I give you some? - I would be honoured.

Thank you.

- Katherine. - Peter.

Adela, Kiki, Adriana, Marika,

Simona and there was Dodo.

- And Gejza. - Gejza.

Schikaneder was fascinated by being in the moment.

And he reflected that in his paintings.

Prague is a prominent motif in Schikaneder's art.

And the atmosphere of old Prague

allowed him to connect emotional motifs with realistic statements.

Kincugi. This technique comes from Japan.

Broken things can be pieced together.

We'll fix it with resin and this golden powder.

Look.

Like this.

That's beautiful.

They say that the Japanese broke ceramics

so they could fix it like this.

The result was so beautiful that everyone wanted them.

So not everything that is broken to pieces...

...Is lost.

Exactly.

Look here.

So? Finished?

Let's see it.

- You have talent. - So, let me see.

Then we have to discuss the naming of the judges.

Jan, slow down. Can't it wait?

Lately, she looks tired. Don't you think?

But satisfied.

Musil found Amra's dessert fortress and was friends with Masaryk.

Masaryk negotiated his support and sent him to America for two years

to write down what he saw.

To this day, that publication is used in teaching Arabic.

- That's unbelievable. - It's very unique.

I didn't know that.

You don't mind me always coming so late at night?

I don't mind.

- Some would ask about it... - No.

I'm not asking.

You're a smart woman and know what you're doing.

Yeah.

And once you're ready, you can tell me.

We all have to focus on the present problem of our planet.

Which is us, people, and the way we treat it.

We have to radically change our approach.

Not just in government, because only through global talks

we can change the condition of our earth,

and of the individuals in it.

One person has huge potential and can do a lot.

But only together, in solidarity,

in love of one another and our planet, are we strongest.

Courage, humanity and love make us unstoppable.

Thank you.

- Let's go. - So?

- Nothing. - Are you sick?

- Why? - Is something hurting you?

- Yes. - What?

- My head, from you. - Oh.

- Where are we going? - Cermakova.

Come on.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

I was gone for a few days, so I couldn't come.

Sure, I understand. Oh, what a coincidence.

I was at your hospital.

And I thought it would be nice to visit you.

Oh. But I...

I don't work there anymore. I forgot to tell you.

I... I started a private clinic.

I just put that together and now it's done.

I get it, I completely understand. That explains it.

Yes.

- Shall we go for a walk? - Sure.

I'll be right back.

- It's nice here. - It is.

I like it here. I was here a few times with my daughter.

Really? I was here with my son.

Thanks. Maybe we saw each other.

- That could be. - No, I would've remembered.

And where is his mum?

- Your wife? - Lenka?

She passed away.

I'm sorry.

It was very quick.

There was nothing we could do.

I'm very sorry.

It's been seven years.

And you? Your husband?

We're divorced.

It just stopped working with us, but we stayed friends.

In the end, it ended well.

It doesn't work out every time.

That's true.

That Cechova is pretty frigid.

Don't say that. She's a bit cold, that's all.

My friend from the government says that everyone's afraid of her.

Pardon.

Sorry.

Katherine?

Oh, hi. I didn't notice you there.

Sorry.

- Hi. - Good evening.

Good evening.

What are you doing here?

Me? I stopped by after work for some wine. You?

I also wanted some wine after work.

- This is Peter. - Peter.

Peter.

I was on a walk after work recently

and something funny happened, I fell and we met.

And since then we have gone out for wine or beer.

- It's not that often. - You're a colleague?

I work at the castle.

- Did I tell you that? - No.

- No? - You didn't tell me.

And where do you work now, Katherine?

Well...

I'm still a doctor, of course.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot.

Sorry, I have to use the bathroom.

- Me too. - Sure.

Thanks. I'll be right back.

Are you crazy? Do you realise what you're doing?

If someone recognised you, it would be a disaster.

- Calm down. It'll be fine. - What if...

- I won't be angry. - So don't be.

- You have to leave immediately. - No.

- I'm calling for backup. - No.

You have to go because you're the President of the Czech Republic.

And I'm Karel Gott.

Yes, I am. And that's why it will be how I say it will be.

If someone found out about this, I would lose my job.

Martina, you won't lose your job. I apologise.

I realise that it's reckless and unorthodox.

But please, don't ruin it for me for just a little while.

I must be imagining this.

This is extortion. Do you know how risky this is?

I know.

Who is this man? Did you check his background?

No. But why would I? He doesn't even know who I am.

He thinks that I'm a doctor. A paediatrician.

And what if he finds out?

You'll ruin it yourself.

Fine. Okay.

But we're leaving now, together.

- And I will escort you. - Okay.

But I want to say goodbye.

Please.

Calm down, no one will recognise me.

I recognised you.

But it took you a while, you must admit.

Not that long.

- You look like a librarian. - What!

What came over you?

I don't know, I just wanted to go out and be among people, like before.

And I found out some things about myself.

People talk a lot.

I don't let it faze me.

But I'm not cold. I'm a spontaneous person.

And reckless and in love.

I'm neither of those things.

You have to figure this out.

- I have to run a background check. - No way.

- It's mandatory. - No.

- Yes, we have to. - No!

I'm the president and your employer

and I order you to keep silent.

Or what?

Or I'll send you to prison.

You wouldn't do that.

- Yes, I would. - No.

- Of course, I would. - You wouldn't do that.

- And I'm not in love. - Oh, but you are. Completely.

Shit.

Oh. Oh!

- Hi. - Hi.

I had to...

I came.

And I have to tell you something.

We...

We can't see each other anymore.

Because it's too dangerous.

And it breaks almost all the security laws of this country.

You probably don't understand, but I'll explain.

You wanted to know who I am, and...

And.

This is me.

I didn't want to lie to you.

I just wanted to spend one night by myself, alone, and free.

And then I found you.

I'm just afraid, I didn't plan on this.

I'm too old for what is going on here between us.

And I'm afraid, because I have this job,

I have cellulite and I live alone.

And I'm afraid, that if I told you, I'd lose you.

I don't want that, because my heart would break.

- I don't want my heart to break. - Shh.

I don't want to leave you and go back up there.

Hm. I'm afraid you have to, darling.

I know.

And it's still my dream come true.

But it's hard up there.

A person can't make mistakes.

I have to be perfect, ready, reliable.

You have to make decisions on command. Talk on command.

Be silent, on command.

It's hard work.

But I love it.

But I still don't want to leave you.

Will we see each other again?

It was nice. Thank you for everything.

Here, doggy.

You can add to the legs, Darina. You too, Marie.

This looks good.

Come on, doggy. Come.

Slavia is just better.

- Slow down, you're playing with fire. - Dad.

- What? - Sparta is done for.

- Cut it out, or... - Or what?

- Or I'll sit on you. - They're gonna fall.

- No they won't. - They will.

- You'll have more points in 2nd league. - I bet they won't fall.

- Bet what? - 500 crowns.

- Alright. - Okay.

It's a bet.

Here.

- It's a miracle that they won. - What miracle?

- 3-1 in Ostrava? - Sports are unpredictable.

- Isn't it weird? - Not at all. The ball is round.

- Right, I owe you 500. - Yeah, hand it over, come on.

Order keeps friendships alive. You'll get it for Christmas.

And don't make any more stupid bets.

Good morning.

What are you doing here, Mum? This is pretty scary.

I haven't seen you in a while and I miss you,

so I came to watch you.

I also miss you,

but I don't come to hypnotize you in your sleep.

I have some news.

- What news? - I'm pregnant.

What?

You're not happy?

But... who? Why?

Mum, that's a joke.

Yeah. Don't you remember our old jokes?

Yeah. You got me.

- Yeah, good. - Are you alright?

Yeah. I just have a lot of work.

And not enough fun, just more and more work.

- So, as always. - Yeah, as always.

What about school?

Good, but it's hard.

You can do it. I'm very proud of you.

- Get up, we're leaving. - Where?

To help out.

Just like you said.

During advent time, politicians usually go out among people

and give soup to the needy.

Today, there was a visit among the people of Prague

from the president of the Czech Republic, Katherine Cechova.

Bon appetite and Merry Christmas.

The president has given away over 50 portions of soup.

Sabina Drackova, CNN Prima News.

- Good day. -Good day. - Chicken soup, please. Thank you.

I'm sorry, but we're here for people who are really in need.

- I don't like this. - No, I know.

My dad sent me. He's still working out back.

- Dad? - Yes.

Oh. Well, I'll talk to your dad.

No, you don't have to. Damn.

He didn't mean it...

Hello?

Uh. I'm sorry, but taking food from a charity

that is meant for people in need...

- Hi. - Hi.

Hello, Madam President.

My son and I were giving back some fixed things to the church

and we also helped set up things for this event.

Everything free. The priest sent Matthew to get soup.

Of course, we won't eat any of your soup.

We're done anyway. We're sorry. Matthew, let's go.

Oh no, it's just a misunderstanding.

- Go. - Goodbye.

- I will gladly give you the soup. - No need.

- Come on. - No, that's alright.

- I'll gladly give you the soup. - We don't want soup.

- Yes you do, come on. - You're very kind. We'll buy something.

Thank you.

- Goodbye. And thank you. Go. - Goodbye. Thank you.

Wait!

One moment.

I completely forgot. In the name of our charity committee,

I would like to invite you to our castle ball.

- Mark! - Yes, here. Sorry.

- Do we have invitations to the ball? - What?

- Invitations to the ball, do we? - Oh. No.

- It's okay. - But we're working on it.

Once we have them, I'll send them. I would be glad if you came.

- If we have the time, then... - We would love to come. Thank you.

It was nice seeing you... meeting you.

- Oh! - Goodbye.

- Hurry. - Goodbye. Thank you.

Well...

that's solved.

We can continue. Come on.

- What... - I don't get it.

What was that, Mum?

Nothing. Those were some nice people who helped with the charity.

Here you go. Bon appetite and Merry Christmas.

- Are you okay, Dad? - Sure.

Yeah? Where do you want to go?

Is it your first time? Here.

- It seems that you knew each other. - What are you, a smart guy?

- What's this? Something new? - Leave it. Go, go.

Nice. Who is it?

Nobody.

- No, it seems even more strange. - Yeah?

- Want a beer? - Yeah.

So, you see.

Did you think of what to have for dinner?

- I did. - And what did you think up?

I was wondering where you knew that man from.

- Which one? - Mum.

Oh, you mean the one with the soup?

That's exactly the one I mean.

I don't know. I don't even know him.

Or maybe I think I do, but it's probably just a feeling.

Because I meet hundreds, maybe thousands of people.

I might have met him somewhere. You know what I mean?

- Sure. Where is he from? - Prague.

- Oh. - And how do you know that?

I think he's from Prague, because he looks like it.

Mum, you want to tell me something?

No. What will we have for dinner?

The British prime minister Cameron Jones is arriving for the first time

in the Czech Republic for the climate summit

and the Czech president, Katherine Cechova will greet him.

According to our info, they will discuss

one-on-one opportunities for possible cooperation

in the fight against global warming.

Thank you for coming. Welcome.

I would never refuse your invitation.

The prime minister will issue a short statement.

Good afternoon.

Welcome to the CEE climate conference.

Don't worry, I'll keep this short.

They say the best things in life come in threes.

Like friends, dreams and memories.

I first met the president many years ago in England

and we became great friends.

I have many happy memories of that time.

We had big dreams and although we may have aged...

a little...

We still share those dreams.

We hold on to them tightly because...

a winner is a dreamer who never gives up.

You're a bit nervous, huh?

You know, Christmas.

Oh please, it's a peaceful holiday.

Yeah? For whom?

I don't have any gifts. Don't know when I'll buy them.

I'll help you.

Yeah? You're too kind.

Do you know what to buy my mum?

If the phrase "like mother, like Jane" is accurate, then yes.

And we won't give up until we win climate change in the CEE.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

So, let's get to work.

Thanks.

- You're welcome. - I didn't expect that.

I think we've earned ourselves a decent drink.

Cheers.

How long have we known each other?

Ages.

- Ten years. - Ten years?

Ten years.

You'd have thought back then you'd be leaving your country

and I would be fixing all the problems

my blasted predecessors made all around the world.

You sure it's only ten?

Feels like a lifetime.

Kate, are you all right?

Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, I'm fine.

You just seem a little distant. What's happened?

No.

No, everything's fine. I'm...

I'm just having a bit of a hard time right now.

It's a man, isn't it?

How do you know?

I've known you ten years.

Okay, is he nice?

Funny?

Is he a responsible citizen?

I hope so.

Does Agatha know yet?

No, but it's complicated.

Ah, married.

No, it's not about that.

So if an old friend may be permitted to give you some advice.

Is there any way of stopping you now?

No.

Screw complicated.

You deserve to be happy.

If you see a chance for love this time, seize it.

So what's the problem?

It's not easy.

I can't tell you.

Why not?

Well, you would laugh if I told you.

I certainly hope so, go for it.

Absolutely not.

I'm not leaving this country until you tell me.

The fate of the United Kingdom is in your hands.

- They weren't kidding, imagine that. - Who?

From the castle.

They sent us tickets to the Christmas ball.

Sent how? Where? I didn't get anything.

They sent it to me.

If you finally came home, then you would know.

I think that we should go, Dad.

- Leave it be, hurry up. - Why?

Why? Because you're afraid?

And of what?

Lately, you've been different.

You wouldn't get it, it's complicated.

Yeah. What is complicated?

- Mum is gone, Dad! - Don't talk about Mum!

What should I do?

What would you have me do?

Not talk about her?

I'm afraid that if we don't talk about her, then I'll forget her.

I miss her.

You don't even know how much.

I do.

I miss her too.

But you can't become bitter.

That would make Mum mad.

You know her.

This can't go on.

- I'm sorry. - You have to move on, Dad.

You might not believe me,

but I...

I did move on a little.

- Really? - Yes.

- Really? - Really?

After Madam President is done, we're gonna need this hall clear

and all the doors must be locked. Here and here as well.

Thanks. I understand.

Mum, you know the whole thing by heart already, like always.

So why are you nervous? You are always a professional.

I'm not nervous.

I don't know, I have stage fright as always.

I don't know. This is different.

When you think no one is watching, then you sigh.

- What do you mean? I don't sigh. - You sigh.

In the morning you walked into the kitchen,

stopped by the window and sighed.

Then you went back to the living room and sighed there.

So I sighed. I can't sigh?

- I'm allowed to, aren't I? - Well yeah, but it's funny.

Why don't you go sit down and stop lecturing me?

- Okay. Good luck. I love you. - Me too.

We start in three minutes. Everything is going according to plan.

Good.

In today's chaotic time, it's hard to live ordinary lives.

Because our world is saturated with information and emotions,

we're exposed to many factors that we're forced to react to.

We change our habits daily

and constantly forget traditional values that hold our society together.

No era is flawless and never will be.

But it's up to us, and up to you, to decide what future awaits us.

Each new generation inherits something that they have to deal with.

And I believe that you are strong fighters

who hold their future firmly in their hands.

Madam President, we all appreciate

you coming out to be with us this Christmas.

If you would allow it, I would like to take a few questions from the audience.

- Of course. - First question over there.

Madam President, how will you spend Christmas?

The same as most of you, I'll be at home.

My daughter is back from college,

so we'll have a lot to talk about and I'm interested in her progress.

Thank you. Another question, please.

The lady in the back.

Madam President, how did you change in the two years,

how do you perceive yourself?

I think that people don't change.

And how they are brought up, that's how they are their whole lives.

But to answer your question, I hope that I have changed.

The decisions that I make concern all your lives,

and that is a big responsibility.

So I had to change in some way in order not to let you and myself down.

Yes, young lady? What have you got on your mind?

Madam President, what do you want most for Christmas?

I would...

I would want...

You know, my wish for Christmas is...

for my daughter to one day be happier than me.

In life, there are situations

in which you have to decide differently than you would like to.

And recently I had to make one of those decisions.

After such decisions, our souls are left with scars.

And those never stop hurting.

These scars can only be healed with true love.

And I'm very happy that I experienced that.

Well, thank you all. Merry Christmas.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hello.

Matthew went somewhere with friends.

But he said he'll be here soon.

You should see him. He's unstoppable.

You would be proud of him.

I realised that what hurts the most in the world...

isn't love.

But that you can't be here with me.

Love is the only thing in life

that doesn't hurt.

I love you.

And I will think of you every day until the end of my life.

Nothing will ever change that.

There's one more thing.

I think I found someone.

I like her.

But it's complicated.

It's very complicated.

And I...

I don't even know... but...

I wanted to tell you.

So you wouldn't be angry.

Merry Christmas, my love.

Chapter twenty-four.

It starts with tears and ends with laughter.

And the ringing of a bell.

- Here. - Thanks.

Hold onto it.

I'm sweating like a dog.

You wanted a ball, so here you go.

- What do we do now? - I don't know.

What do you do at a ball?

People dance and talk.

So we will socialize.

With whom?

- I don't know. Do you know anyone? - No.

- Well, me neither. - Well.

Well, if it's been quite enough, we can finish up and go to the pub.

- Yeah, I agree. - Come on.

- Wait a second. - What is it?

I need to take care of something.

- Where are you going? - Just a second.

- Hi. - Hi.

So, it looks like your dad wants to date my mum.

Yeah? I heard it's the other way around.

That would be surprising.

And where is your dad anyway?

I think he's somewhere here in the crowd.

But he won't stay for long, these events are not his cup of tea.

- And where's your mum? - Uhm...

I don't know, she wanted to take care of something.

If it doesn't work out tonight, then I think I'm leaving for London,

because she's unbearable right now.

You don't know my dad. He's unbearable. Really.

You know what's the worst? He's acting like a little kid.

That's true.

To our children.

- You look stunning. - Thank you.

- You look great. - Thank you. Enjoy yourselves.

You too.

Good evening, doctor.

- You came. - Yes, I did.

I told myself that if I didn't,

I would regret it for the rest of my life.

Maybe you'll regret that you came.

Don't frighten me.

Maybe we should dance.

- Really? - Sure.

- May I have this dance? - Yes.

Sorry, I'm stepping on your feet.

- I think we have to practise more. - Yes.

And is it okay that I'm the president?

I try not to think about it so I wouldn't be afraid of you.

But I'm just an ordinary lady after all, and president.

You are ordinary.

Tomorrow will be an eventful press conference.

Hm. Yes, that it will be.

What do you want for Christmas?

Nothing anymore.

There's one thing that I think you should see.

But we would have to get out of here. Can you do it?

I think I have an idea.

Okay then.

Thank you very much, Madam President. Thank you.

- So, I guess we won't be siblings. - Looks like it.

Wait, you have to go too?

- No. But Dad... - So stay here with me.

I don't want to be alone with these old folks, it's awful.

Fine then. I'll have one more.

Is there anything left to do today?

No. Not today.

That's good. So go enjoy yourself.

That's what I'm doing.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Me? I don't know.

What am I doing? Oh, you don't have your glasses. Nice.

- Yes. - You look nice.

And your dress is...

- Black. - Yeah, thanks.

Do you need something?

Me? No. No, nothing. Why?

I don't know. It's just that...

I don't know.

Do you want to dance?

What? Me?

Yes.

Look, Jane, if you're going to play hard to get,

then I'll leave and you'll see me after New Year's.

Then let's dance.

So come on.

Where to?

Jesus Christ! What are you doing?

The hall is there. Just letting you know if you got lost.

I know, but I need to go somewhere first.

- Okay, I'm coming with you. - No!

Please, no. I need to go alone.

- And if I stood off to the side? - No, not that either.

It's enough that you follow me to the restroom.

I'll be back by two.

And if something comes up, I'll call you.

Yeah right.

Osickova, everything under control?

Yes, General.

I'll have to watch you anyway.

By the way, do you dance?

Yes, General.

Well, if you don't have anyone, I would be willing,

in the state's interest, of course, to offer one waltz.

Great. Then go to the ballroom and I'll be right there.

Okay.

So...

Good.

Madam President.

That's beautiful.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

Do you want to go for a walk?

I would.

There should be something still open on the waterfront.

But they'll probably recognise me.

So? Are you afraid?

Not me. You?

Not at all.

- There's just one small detail. - That is?

We have to run a background check on you.

Really? How does that work?

The primary one, I will do that.

Ideally, tonight if you don't mind.

No, I don't mind.

I just have to warn you, I will be very thorough.

The fox is on the move.

I repeat, the fox is on the move.

Everything okay.

Out.

And this is part of the standard process?

Yes, of course.

Then I guess I should go through the background check, huh?

- You should. I recommend it. - Oh yeah? Okay.
