My name is Els.

(Nice to meet you.)

Nice to meet you.

(I live in Zwolle.)

I live in Zwolle.

(My hobbies are hiking and deep sea diving.)

My hobbies are hiking and deep sea...

diving.

I am very,

I am very grateful.

I am very grateful.

Okay. Congratulations, you found me.

Lets get it over with, shall we?

Take the picture because

I would like to eat this while its still hot.

-Oh, no, thats not why Im here. -Oh, no?

I'm with the Dutch Royal House.

-Youre not with the press? -Do I look like press?

I apologize Ms Zorreguieta, but

an email was sent to announce my arrival,

I'm here to help you with your integration.

My name is Thomas Wagenaar.

Wagenaar, yes, of course, I'm sorry,

Alex told me, yes, I'm...

Do you like fries?

So how was your first weekend in Brussels?

Cold.

But the city is much bigger than I expected,

it kind of feels old and new at the same time

and the buildings, the people... Ketchup or mayonnaise?

No.

Everything looks so different from Buenos Aires.

I had planned on being here upon your arrival but

unfortunately something urgent came up.

Well, youre not the only one.

Well, you must know these are demanding times

for His Royal Highness, but...

he sends his regards.

Enjoy your meal.

I thought I might as well start.

Excellent.

Now in the meantime,

youll be studying history and culture of The Netherlands.

You have a tight schedule.

The mornings are committed to the Dutch language,

speaking, reading, writing, of course.

Now this will be your Bible,

I suggest you have it with you at all times.

Bear in mind that from now on all eyes are on you, Ms Zorreguieta,

so be careful of the things you do and say.

Nobody knows me here, so...

No alcohol or smoking in public.

Everything. Your hair, your clothes,

even the way you walk will be under a magnifying glass.

Youre going to teach me how to walk?

Ive been told you love movies,

so I took the liberty of selecting a few Dutch films,

and they are as entertaining as they are insightful

in the Dutch history.

The afternoons will be dedicated to the state law

and the Dutch cultural history.

Well conclude our days by practicing etiquette and protocols.

Well, I grew up in a world of etiquette so that wont be a problem.

Oh, no, no, its fine, you dont have to do that.

It's fine.

Well, leave you to it then.

If theres anything I can help you with, dont hesitate to contact me.

You can reach me at this number, day and night.

Welcome to Brussels, Ms Zorreguieta.

One more thing.

Refrigerator.

Refrigerator.

(I hereby abdicate the throne.)

(I would like to introduce you to Beatrix, your new queen.)

(Fellow citizens.)

(Today we all start)

(a new era)

(in the history of Argentina.)

(We know these are hard and difficult times,)

(but we don't have a single doubt,)

(Argentinians are going to wake up!)

-This circus is over. -Dad.

-Did you see the Plaza de Mayo? -Come on!

No.

And listening to that imposter Alfonsin?

(After 7 long years of military dictatorship,)

(now it depends on President Alfonsin,)

(democratically elected,)

(to be transparent, end oppression and allow justice to prevail.)

(The new Minister of Defense...)

We can finally go to school by ourselves.

Don't forget your lunchbox.

Why can't I buy lunch at the kiosk like all my friends do?

Because money doesn't grow on trees, sweetie.

-Do you know what I made you? -Milanesa.

-Goodbye, Tincho. Be careful, dear. -Bye, mom.

Hurry up, guys, you're late.

Maxi.

Bye.

Come on.

-What? -Come on, Maxi.

If we are late again, Ms Parczewski will kill us.

It's okay.

Have you studied?

-Have you? -Of course.

Maxi.

-Maxi. -Dad.

Aren't you forgetting something?

And remember,

today is Tristana's first day of school.

I promised her dad that you would take care of her.

-Yes. -Yes?

Ladies, have a nice day.

Likewise, Jorge.

See you this evening, Dad.

Don't give cigarettes to Tristana. She's got asthma.

If you help me with geography, I'll help you with math.

-Well, we'll see. -No.

Hey, your brackets.

-Hi, girls. -Hi, Sammy.

-How are you, dear? -Hi, Sammy.

-How are you? -Hi!

Tristana.

-Hi. -Hi.

-I'm Maxima Zorreguieta. -Hi!

These are my friends.

-Valeria, Flo. -Hi.

-Sam. -Hi.

-Do you want to come with us? -Sure.

-How are you? -Fine.

Ms Maccio, I see youve already made friends.

-Good. Welcome, dear. -Thank you.

Welcome.

Maxima will show you around and explain everything, okay?

Ill take good care of her, miss.

In the 17th century,

the English trade in India expanded rapidly

leading to the establishment of many trading posts

and factories across the country.

However, by the end of the century,

the relationship with the Mughal rulers

had worsened significantly.

Any further British requests for trading privileges had been...

Ms Maccio, would you like to share your thoughts?

Yes.

I would like to know why are we talking about British colonies

at a time like this.

I mean,

right now history is being made here.

The election of the new president has been overwhelming.

Out there.

I must say, I'm quite disappointed.

Your classmate hasnt taken the responsibility

to point out the most important rule we abide here at Northlands.

Ms Zorreguieta?

We must always speak English

within the walls of Northlands.

However, this being your first day at Northlands,

Ill forgive your ignorance.

As I was saying,

these so-called conflicts...

Hi.

-Turn off the TV. -I want to watch it.

For God's sake, Maria. What for?

-Hello. -It will make you angrier.

They are a bunch of phonies. Nothing but ordinary plebs.

I don't care, I want to know.

-Turn up the volume, Jorge, please. -How stubborn.

(On his first day,)

(Alfonsin made clear what his political agenda will be.)

(He declared that the criminal members of the junta)

(will receive their deserved punishment)

(And that he will personally create a committee)

(to investigate all disappearances of our thousands of loved ones.)

Perfect.

So they realize half of them are already back.

Ms Zorreguieta. Or can I call you Maxima?

I would like to give you this on behalf of the Dutch people.

No, thank you.

You're happy with Willem-Alexander, right?

I can't talk, thank you.

You will be our new queen.

There is a lot of commotion about your dad.

He worked as minister under the regime of Videla.

There were a lot of murders back then, right?

Can you distance yourself from the past of your dad?

Thank you.

If you hold this, I can help you with those bags.

-No, no. -You don't want the flowers?

-That's a bit harsh. -Thank you.

Okay, I will leave you to it.

Thank you. I have to go to work.

Good luck. You are a beautiful woman.

(This was 'The Week of Wilibrord'.)

Mr Frequin is quite famous for his somewhat

direct method of approach,

but don't worry about it.

How did they find me?

It wasnt me.

Given the situation, it would be wise to wear this,

from now on.

Shall we?

Thus the young republic was able to find allies.

In this respect the diplomatic initiatives

of the republics new leader,

Johan van Oldenbarnevelt,

were more successful than those of William of Orange.

Both men were superb diplomats,

but Oldenbarnevelt just had more to offer.

You know what?

Change of plans.

(I can't accept it.)

(You have sabotaged me for years.)

(Or did I cooperate.)

(Or did I cooperate?)

Cooperate?

-Cooperate. -Rate.

Cooperated.

It won an Oscar for best foreign film.

Fedja van Hu�et, hes one of our most talented actors.

(It's unfortunate, but I am the only one.)

(This is the last time ever I'll be coming here.)

My father made us watch lots of movies.

So if I say... Youre gonna need a bigger boat?

'Jaws'.

-Well, nobodys perfect. -'Some Like it Hot'.

-Life is like a box of ch... -'Forrest Gump'.

You're going to have to do better than that.

Okay...

Life moves pretty fast,

if you dont stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

-I have no idea. -Seriously?

'Ferris Buellers Day Off'. Classic. I'll bring it next time.

-Okay, my turn. -Your turn.

Roads? Where were going we dont need roads.

'Back to the Future'.

-'I'll have what she's having'. -'When Harry Met Sally'.

Meg Ryan played a phenomenal role.

-Phenomenal? -Phenomenal.

-As in phenomenal? -Mm-hmm.

-Okay. Wait for it, then. -Yes.

Now, I wanna dance,

I wanna win, I want that trophy,

so dance good.

Then I would say...

-'Pulp Fiction.' - 'Pulp Fiction.' Good.

-'Nobody puts Baby in a corner'. -Ah.

Ah. 'Dirty Dancing'. Patrick Swayze, loved it.

-'What's in the box?' -'Seven'.

- 'Um, you had me at... Hello'. -'Hello'.

'Jerry Maguire.'

'Show me the money'.

I paid good attention.

Apparently.

You have improved very quickly.

My Dutch stroopwafel.

Those are delicious.

-Delicious. -Delicious.

Very delicious, I know.

How do you do the 'aul'?

-The 'ui', you mean? -'Ui'.

So you do it too far in the back of your mouth,

you have to do it more in the front like 'ui'.

Yes. So hows Thomas?

Not as stiff as he looks.

No?

Just a couple more months.

But first, you have to pronounce the 'ui' properly.

Ive got tickets for the theater tomorrow,

and Thomas recommended this great Italian restaurant

that we can go to.

Well, I have to leave this afternoon.

I have to go to Japan earlier than expected.

I thought you knew.

Sorry.

No, its... Its fine.

(WILLEM-ALEXANDER LEAVES MAXIMA STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD)

-Hello, Maxi. -Hi.

How is everything going in Brussels?

I spend 24 hours a day reading books.

Well, you can handle that.

How is everything over there?

Your mother has a new hobby, gardening.

She's got the damn house full of plants and pots.

(But we had to do something now you have all left home.)

Are the journalists still bothering you?

(It's not too bad.)

(If I only knew that they were so interested in me,)

(I would have gone to Pablo's)

(to get a haircut and look nicer.)

(Whatever they say, it won't get to us.)

(Right?)

No.

Your mother keeps asking

if you and Alex are coming to Las Escobas for Christmas.

Yes.

Yes, we can't wait.

(We can't wait either.)

Dear, say something in Dutch.

No...

Come on, tell me something. Lie to me.

'Ik mis je.'

'I miss you.'

('Ik mis je.')

(I'm so proud of you.)

(We all are.)

I miss you, Dad.

-Is she here? -Yes.

Loli?

-Shoes off. -Where is she?

Shoes off, dear.

Dolores!

Can I get a hug?

I'll take the horses.

Hi!

How are you?

Did it hurt?

A little.

Did your mom let you?

She didn't say anything.

Mine would never let me.

Maxi.

It's your body and it's your life.

Nobody should tell you what to do with them.

Well, your mom is different.

So?

I liked better the things you used to do.

In Fine Arts, we learn how to make real art.

Art with a message.

And what is the message?

What do you think?

I think

it gives me a bad feeling.

Ouch!

Life is not only about fun.

(We're continuing the game with Barbara. The K.)

(Koala. K-O-A-L-A.)

-Cook. -(Client. C-L-I-E-N-T.)

C-O-O-K.

(Cling. C-L-I-N-G.)

(Willem-Alexander cannot marry Maxima.)

(And if he does, he can never become the king,)

(according to Mr Maurik,)

(former Dutch ambassador for UNESCO.)

(Why do you think that?)

(Well, if this was a marriage between Pete and Marie,)

(then I would be)

(the last person to object, that's their own choice.)

(But we can't have a queen)

(with a dad who participated in mass murder,)

(mass rape, and mass torture.)

-(And?) -(He must have known)

(about the scandals around the regime of Videla.)

(He knew, because there is proof that he)

(wasn't just a silent opportunist,)

(he was a propagandist for the regime.)

What does it mean?

Really it means nothing. Maurik is not going to get far.

Yes, but if it does go to court,

-can he go to jail? -Yes, I'll be right there.

Sorry Ive got to go, so Ill call you in a few hours.

No, no, Alex, please, please, I need to understand.

-Whats going on? -Baby, I will call you in a bit.

Yes? I love you.

Alex!

Dolores, stop it already.

No. Why can't I ask you questions?

Questions?

You are not asking questions.

-You are accusing me... -But...

...and saying things of which you have no idea.

I am not making anything up, it's written in this report.

Here it is. Read it!

-Jorge, for God's sake! -Read it!

The kids are inside.

Read it?

Who are you to speak to me in that tone?

You never want to listen!

No, you repeat everything your absurd mother says.

You son of a bitch!

It's okay, just keep playing cards.

-What is it? -Leave!

It's okay, Maxima. It's just your dad.

Dolores is leaving, Mom.

No one disrespects me at home!

Come here, Martin. Let's go play cards.

Loli!

Why are you leaving?

I love you, but I can't take it anymore.

But what happened?

-Lola, why do you have to leave? -Ask him.

(THE CRASH OF NEVERMORE)

Cool place, this.

You work here? Every night?

It's time for some fresh air, Ms Zorreguieta.

Hey!

Are you her dad?

-How did you find me? -You called me.

Chop-chop.

-Bye. -Bye.

You're the reason for my poor eating habits.

I'm embarrassed.

No need at all.

At least I get the experience of being called a dad.

My godchild.

She has a mind of her own but shes a sweetheart.

Beautiful.

Who is that?

My husband.

For 25 years.

25 years.

-Youre a lucky man. -I am indeed.

Who do you see me as?

Does it matter?

Yes, it does. To me.

Do you see me as a girlfriend of His Royal Highness?

Do you see me as a member of the Argentinian elite?

Do you see me as a daughter of a war criminal?

I see an intelligent, ambitious young woman,

whos about to make the most important decision of her life.

Lets get you home, dear.

Chop-chop.

(Speaking foreign language)

Finally! Where were you?

Who is he?

I have no idea.

Who is that?

Tiziano Iachetti, he's a friend of James.

-Let's go. -Let's dance.

Are you going to eat another one?

Leave something for the rest.

I hate Cynthia.

I heard his parents buy the exams for him.

-Really? -Yes.

Hey girls!

Hi.

-Hi. -How are you?

-Fine. -Fine.

I wanted to introduce you to Tiziano.

Tiziano, these are Vale, Tris, Maxi and Flo.

They are my sister's friends.

They are like the Archbishops.

-I am the president. -And I am the vice president.

That's nice.

-Enjoy yourselves. -Thank you.

-Bye. -Bye.

-He's so hot, huh? -Let's dance.

-Maxima, do you know what time it is? -Sorry.

-Why are you dressed like that? -Leave me alone, Mom.

I thought something had happened to you.

I'm fine.

Where are your brackets?

-You lost your brackets, you brat. -Mom!

I can take care of myself!

If you keep losing your brackets, you'll have to listen to me.

It's my life.

It's my teeth and it's my body!

Go to hell.

Go to hell!

Sam, it's your turn.

-Pedro. -Oh, Pedro.

Everything he told me, all that talk...

Bye, Pedro. It's over.

-What a jerk! -It's over, Pedro.

You heard it.

I'm leaving all my doubts behind,

all my bad thoughts.

Clean slate. London, here I come.

You go.

I'm leaving behind the hockey field.

I'm done training or scoring goals.

Let alone winning.

Well done.

I can't think of anything. I don't know.

-Come on. -Go.

I don't know. I don't know what to say.

Sometimes I have the feeling...

I don't know, that I have to leave too.

As if there was something waiting for me somewhere.

But I don't know what it is.

I have no idea. No...

I don't want things to change.

I want us to stay here together.

Forever.

The Archbishops will always be together.

-Yes. -Anywhere,

We'll always be together,

wherever we are.

Go, Max.

-Yay! -Come on.

Fox and Owl are in Owl's hollow.

Owl has an egg.

Whose egg is it?

Owl doesn't know

and Fox doesn't know.

(Hi, princess.)

-Hey. -(How is life in Brussels?)

You go first.

(Well, the Christmas holidays are coming up,)

(so the tracks are in chaos.)

(Now I also teach the kids,)

(which is hell, really.)

(What is it, Max?)

I don't know if I'll last much longer here.

I get up, go to work, come home,

I study like crazy and go to sleep. Alone.

I'm living the life of a nun.

(Listen, for 9 years I had to put up with your moaning)

(because you wanted to go to Europe.)

(And now that you're there, what?)

(You have to enjoy it, buddy.)

(You know what you have to do? Have fun.)

(Go out, have fun. Why don't you go downtown?)

(Buy yourself something nice, something sexy.)

(For when your prince arrives.)

(Come on, seriously, you have to do it. You deserve it.)

(It's starting. Are you coming?)

(I have to go. I love you.)

-Bye. -(I love you. Bye.)

Ms Zorreguieta.

Thank you.

Ms Zorreguieta, can I ask you something?

I'm having a lovely time here in Brussels.

Have a nice day.

What do you think about the rumors bout the prince and Emily Bremers?

(WILLEM-ALEXANDER SPOTTED WITH EMILY!)

(Unfortunately, I can't answer the phone.)

(Leave a message after the beep.)

Hello, yes, this is Maxima Zorreguieta,

I would like to reschedule a flight to Buenos Aires.

Yes, as soon as possible.

Yes, Ill wait.

Good afternoon.

You can come in, but I'm leaving.

What?

Im done.

Im done with the press, with Brussels, with Alex,

with Olden-Vanbarnevelt.

You said that I was about to make

one of the most important decisions of my life?

I just did.

Thank you.

For everything.

Oh, and would you be so kind and call me a cab?

Thank you.

Fuck.

Surprise.

It's a surprise.

I came back a day early.

What are you...

I'm going home, that's what.

Dont even think of coming for Christmas.

I'm sorry, Max, you really have to help me out here.

You have no idea whats going on?

-Not a single clue? -No?

This is whats going on.

Okay.

Shit.

Listen, she just came to pick up some stuff, okay?

Do you think I'm stupid?

I dont know, do you believe what they write?

What else have you been doing while I'm stuck in this place?

Okay, so thats what you think?

What else are you thinking?

Who the hell do you think I am, Alex?

-Who the hell do you think I am? -Well, I dont know, tell me!

So now, all of a sudden, you start believing the press?

Fuck you.

-Fuck you. -Okay.

And dont even think about following me.
