Maradona... Maradona...
2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,839
Maradona!
CROWD ROARS
3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,839
Onside! It's Messi!
4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,599
Lionel Messi!
CROWD ROARS
5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,439
Cuts inside. Pele.
6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,879
That's a lovely pass!
7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,319
Carlos Alberto! Oh,
my word!
8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,599
CROWD ROARS
9
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,040
ITALIAN COMMENTARY
10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,680
Goal!
CROWD ROAR
11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,679
Time has passed
12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,719
at 2026 Oversight
headquarters in Miami.
13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,759
Director of Integrity
Ian Fletcher
14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,959
has been here
for nearly three months,
15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,199
in which time a lot has happened.
16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,319
And with the opening ceremony
now suddenly
17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,680
just eight weeks away,
there's a lot to think about.
18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,559
Ah, morning, Will.
Oh, yeah, hey, yeah, morning.
19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,039
That's great. Thank you.
Yeah, no worries. Yeah, cool.
20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,759
Anything you need to tell me
about today?
21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,159
Yeah, I dunno. Like what?
Well, no, I'm asking you.
22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,199
Oh, cool, yeah.
No worries, yeah, cool.
23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,199
Oh, yeah. So there's this guy
trying to get hold of you.
24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,479
Howard Koch.
Oh, right. Yes, him.
25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,599
Yeah. I don't know who he is.
No. Well,
26
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,639
as far as I can work out,
he's basically a headhunter.
27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,879
OK. Whoa. No, I mean, I think
28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,199
he's working on the 2028 Olympics in
Los Angeles, isn't he?
29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,799
Yes. So he keeps phoning.
30
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,239
Right. He's called again twice
already this morning.
31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,079
OK, I think you need
to be a bit firmer with him.
32
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,759
Yeah. OK, so next time he calls,
33
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,559
say that you've spoken to me,
we've discussed it,
34
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,759
and, I'm sorry, but this
really isn't the right time -
35
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,919
I've got enough on my plate
with 2026 as it is -
36
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,359
so I'm sorry, but I'm not going
to be speaking to him
37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,439
at this time. OK. OK?
38
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,999
Yeah. These people are tough.
39
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,359
You've just got to be tough
with them.
40
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,519
Yeah, cool, yeah, tough. Yeah.
41
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,960
No worries. Yeah, cool.
42
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,559
OK, so we are very lucky
to have Vincente with us today.
43
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,599
Truly, yes. After all, we know how
busy he is.
44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,679
Absolutamente.
45
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,799
Right. But he has done us
the courtesy
46
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,879
of stopping off in Miami
on his way back to Mexico City.
47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,839
Actually,
it is an honour for us.
48
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,879
Gracias.
49
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,599
And coming in today,
just to take us through
50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,639
his very incredible vision
for the opening ceremony,
51
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:18,879
which I think you're gonna
find... What can I say?
52
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,039
It's... It's quite something.
Exactly so.
53
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,239
Gracias, Ryan. Gracias a todos.
Gracias.
54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,599
This morning, as
the opening ceremony takes shape,
55
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,079
the executive team are meeting
its Creative Director,
56
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,759
Vincente Guajardo,
57
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,119
the renowned Mexican film director,
58
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,119
who has been working
in close approximation
59
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,759
with 2026 Lead Events Producer
Ryan Hertz.
60
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,919
So, first of all,
I want to say to you,
61
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,079
um, this is a great honour
62
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,399
for me to be creating this show
63
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,119
on the world stage
in Mexico City,
64
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,919
now, in this moment. Truly.
65
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,839
And what I ask you now, please,
66
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,919
take everything you know
about opening ceremonies,
67
00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:59,679
closing ceremonies,
this kind of thing.
68
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,759
Take everything you know,
everything you have seen and...
69
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,039
...throw it away. Forget it.
70
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,520
Yes? It is gone.
71
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,479
Well, so... Huh.
72
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720
Exciting. OK. Good.
73
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,359
MEXICAN HIP-HOP
74
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,879
Regarded by many
as a visionary,
75
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,239
especially by those
who haven't worked with him,
76
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,479
Guajardo broke through
on the world stage
77
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,079
when his film Entanglement
picked up the Oscar
78
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,039
for Best Film Not In Any Language in
2021.
79
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,159
His opening ceremony is to be
a unique live collision
80
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,439
between creative forces chosen
from literally all over Mexico.
81
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,359
When you make a piece of art,
you are in control, yes?
82
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,479
You are in control
and you are not in control.
83
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,119
It is a chemical reaction.
84
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,999
Then you bring these people
together and you say to them,
85
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,559
"You are free.
86
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,359
"Now, tell me who you are.
87
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,839
"Tell me who I am.
88
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,879
"Tell me
what we are doing here.
89
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,279
"Tell me what this is."
90
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,519
And then, in the end, we know.
91
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,720
We find out. Yes?
92
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,119
Truly.
93
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,440
I believe it is a kind of miracle.
94
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,559
Right. OK. So, well,
I think, first of all,
95
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,399
just to say thank you,
Vincente.
96
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,399
Oh, my God. I mean, that's really...
97
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,199
Well, it's amazing
to hear about.
98
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,919
Right. Gracias.
99
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,199
I told you, right? Yes.
100
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,959
This is a great story
we're telling here.
101
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,319
Yes. Well, uh, and so just...
You know, in layman's terms,
102
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,199
when it comes
to telling our story,
103
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,159
er, in terms of what's emerged
104
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,199
from this amazing
collaboration,
105
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,200
I mean, what has emerged
in the end?
106
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,399
Excuse me? You know, just so we're
all clear at this stage.
107
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,199
Absolutely. OK, so you are not
listening, yes? Well...
108
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,439
This is the point of
what we are doing here.
109
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,479
This is the point.
110
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,039
When we arrive
at our destination,
111
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,239
then we know where we are.
112
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,559
Right. We know it finally,
113
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,319
all of us, for the first time,
in this moment.
114
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,999
And this is what we share
with the world.
115
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,959
It is not before or after.
116
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,999
No. It is unique.
117
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,640
In this moment... we are alive.
118
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,920
It is not like anything else.
119
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Yes. Yeah. Like I said, right?
120
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,319
OK, fine. The guy's
a fucking genius. Terrific.
121
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,799
But apart from anything else,
there's zero reference
122
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,119
to the US. Right.
123
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,239
Yes. Zero!
124
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,599
In the opening ceremony? Right.
125
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,799
Or Canada, actually. Well, no.
126
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,839
Now that I think of it.
Of course. Yes.
127
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:46,479
I mean, what is this,
The Mask Of fucking Zorro?
128
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,399
Excuse me? Ah, yes.
129
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,919
The what? For fuck's sake!
130
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,319
Meanwhile,
the senior executive team
131
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,639
have repaired
to the meeting room
132
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,239
to unpack Vincente Guajardo's
plans for the opening ceremony.
133
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,719
Yeah. So, I mean, Ryan... Sure.
134
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,559
I'm sure I saw an early draft
of what was going to happen
135
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:01,599
in the opening ceremony
136
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,839
at some point. Right.
137
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:03,919
OK. Yeah.
138
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,959
Absolutely. OK, so this was the
opening ceremony beat sheet.
139
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,599
Yes. I have it here. Right. Well,
Sarah, for instance... Sure.
140
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,879
I seem to remember
a whole sustainability strand
141
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,919
running through it.
Absolutely. Thank you, Ian.
142
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,399
No. Of course.
143
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,839
So we've been working with
teachers and schoolchildren
144
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:20,519
from disadvantaged
inner city areas
145
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,199
across all 16 host cities
to raise awareness.
146
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,479
Great.
Using stories they generated,
147
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,679
they came up with the beautiful
story of Chichamitta.
148
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,599
Right. Chichamitta?
149
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,679
Right. So Chichamitta
is a figure
150
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,279
representing the Chichimecas people.
151
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:34,319
OK.
152
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,879
The people who founded
Mexico City
153
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,759
in the pre-Hispanic period,
back before everything...
154
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,479
OK. Exactly. Yeah. Right. So
anyway...
155
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,599
Yeah. So he's not doing that. What?
156
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,519
It's not happening.
He's not doing it?
157
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,439
So, that document you got
there, the beat sheet,
158
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,999
one of the first things he did
was he took that document
159
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,039
and he shredded it. Right, OK.
160
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,799
No, no, no. He literally printed out
161
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,559
a hard copy and shredded it in front
of the team. Right.
162
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,119
One of the first things
that happened.
163
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,519
Vincente, what are you doing?
164
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,639
Yeah. So, if a key step
in dealing with a problem
165
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,479
is to recognise you've got one
in the first place,
166
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,519
I think we can say
that we've achieved that.
167
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,079
Exactly so. Then perhaps
we can say tick. Yes?
168
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,799
OK. So actually
we've not even started
169
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,039
with the problem here, actually.
170
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,839
Right. Can I say, I can't tell you
171
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,959
how great it is to be able
to talk about this stuff?
172
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,519
Yes. Well... For me, this is so
great.
173
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,719
Good. So I guess I was waiting
174
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,039
for the right moment to drop this.
175
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,559
Um, so the White House
has asked to see plans
176
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,119
for the opening ceremony. Right. OK.
177
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,359
Great. The White House?
178
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,039
Right. OK. No, no, no.
179
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,239
It's clear that this is coming
from the President himself.
180
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,839
Right. Well, yes.
Oh, and by the way,
181
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,799
at the moment he thinks
he's making the opening speech.
182
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,759
But at the same time, so does
President Sheinbaum of Mexico.
183
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,919
Right. Just thought
184
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,919
I'd throw that one in there
for the fun of it.
185
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,639
Yes. And does Vincente know about
this?
186
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,199
Vincente? Have you told him?
187
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,999
Right. What do you think? Right. OK.
188
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,360
Fuck's sake.
189
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,679
Sarah. Yes. Hi, Eric.
190
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,799
Thank you so much for this.
Sure. I mean,
191
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,079
I'm hoping it's not going
to take long, whatever it is.
192
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,479
Of course. Yes. Exactly so.
193
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,959
It's later in the morning,
194
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,159
and Chief
Coordinating Attache
195
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,759
Eric Van Dupuytrens has invited
196
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,039
VP Sustainability and Climate
Strategy Sarah Campbell
197
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,759
to meet a senior woman from HR
for an open-ended discussion
198
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,039
to establish whether she's OK.
199
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,439
It seems that an anonymous
member of the public
200
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,359
has contacted the Oversight
Oversight Department
201
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,719
to complain about
the professional conduct
202
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,440
of a senior executive.
203
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,359
So, I guess this is my fault.
I should have warned you.
204
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,239
Of course it's not your
fault. I mean, how dare he?
205
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,359
You don't know him.
206
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,679
What's beyond any doubt
for Sarah is that,
207
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:38,199
as well as being anonymous,
208
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,359
that person is also her ex-husband.
209
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,959
Taking advantage of a junior
210
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,039
and vulnerable female colleague?
211
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,839
Right. It's ludicrous.
212
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,759
It's legal jargon. I know it is.
213
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,959
He's a lawyer.
214
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,079
Yeah, I know. I don't care.
He's coming after us.
215
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,919
Coming after us? Right.
216
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,559
What does that mean?
217
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,759
One thing I do know, though. So...
218
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,479
I am not a vulnerable female.
Well, no. Exactly.
219
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,560
I am not. No.
220
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,960
AMERICAN ROCK MUSIC
221
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:29,559
Right... Huh.
222
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:31,559
Great. OK. No, no. No, no. No.
223
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:34,039
We can say this is
super interesting.
224
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,839
So this is terrible. Uh-huh.
225
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,879
My gosh.
226
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,439
It's Tuesday, and 2026
Events Producer Ryan Hertz
227
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,799
is back to update the executive
team on developments
228
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,119
with the opening ceremony.
229
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,919
And overnight, the White House
has sent over a mood board
230
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,319
of moods they'd like
to see in it.
231
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,759
I mean, perhaps the first thing
to say here, Ryan,
232
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,519
I mean, as a palette of,
you know, of things,
233
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,799
this looks pretty heavily
US focused.
234
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,879
Uh-huh. Yeah.
235
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,199
Right. I mean, I suppose
that's one story to tell here.
236
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,319
Excuse me? But I'm assuming that,
237
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,239
as far as Vincente is...
"Please, I ask you,
238
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,679
"do not send me this shit."
239
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:11,479
Right. "It is shit. I do not look at
it."
240
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,839
Yes, but then also,
just more generally,
241
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,519
when it comes
to our other friends
242
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,479
and stakeholders
in the whole 2026...
243
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,319
We have the opening ceremony
at the Estadio Azteca
244
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,079
in Mexico City for a reason.
245
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,719
Well, yes. Yeah. Just remind us.
246
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,839
OK, so people have been playing
soccer in Mexico
247
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,319
for thousands of years.
248
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,399
Thousands of years? Yeah. Um...
249
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,879
Since before
the US even invented itself.
250
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,519
Excuse me? OK. Well...
251
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,719
So the US did not just
invent itself. OK?
252
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,799
Yes, it did.
253
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,159
Nick...
254
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,799
Vinisteis aqui en barcos desde
Europa, no?
255
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,199
What? OK. Stop it!
256
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,640
Please stop it.
257
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,479
This is not about Mexico. Excuse me?
258
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,199
It's not about the US
or even Canada. Sorry, Owen.
259
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,319
No. Sure.
260
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,079
If you're telling the story of
the Chichimecas people,
261
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,079
you're telling the story
of all of us.
262
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,639
This is a story about the world
before it all went wrong.
263
00:10:58,640 --> 00:10:59,999
Right. When people understood
264
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,799
the land they lived on, because
it told them who they were.
265
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,679
And we really need that story
now. Yes?
266
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,559
Yes. We need to have that story
267
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,959
told to us like children.
268
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,480
And this is our chance
to tell it to the world.
269
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,959
Yeah, can I just say?
I'm with her.
270
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,119
Yes. Thank you, Sarah. No. Sure.
271
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,159
Then we can say in this moment
we are all Chichimecas. Yes?
272
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,599
Yes. 100%.
273
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,439
Well, so before we get into the
solution-based phase of this,
274
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,079
uh, Ryan, that's it, is it? There's
nothing else we need to know?
275
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,839
Oh, yeah. Oh? Oh, yeah, there's
more.
276
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,959
Right.
277
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,599
So for the duration
of the tournament,
278
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,879
they want to rename
the Azteca Stadium
279
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,560
the Stadium of the Americas.
280
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:42,599
Right. OK.
281
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,279
Huh. Interesting.
282
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,439
The Stadium of the Americas.
283
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,800
Uh-huh. Mm-hm. Right.
284
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,719
Well, I can do that for you.
No, it's OK.
285
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,239
But that's what I do. I know, but
sometimes it's just good
286
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,039
to have something
to do with your hands.
287
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,439
For Ian, after the
meeting, it's time for a coffee.
288
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,039
This other guy's trying to get
hold of you, not the other guy.
289
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,199
Yes. I dunno,
290
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,159
he sounds a bit...
I think I know who he is.
291
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,039
He keeps asking
for your personal number.
292
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,039
So I didn't give it to him. No.
Good.
293
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,399
I forwarded you the email
he sent.
294
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,960
Right. Yes. Yeah.
295
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,759
I suppose I should ask, really.
Did you read it?
296
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,159
The email? Yes.
297
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,479
Yes, so, like, a lot of it
I couldn't understand.
298
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,479
No. Well, probably
just as well, I think.
299
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,439
Yeah, just as well. Yeah.
There you go.
300
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,079
Yeah, cool, yeah, no worries.
Yeah, thanks.
301
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,479
I'm going to be tough with him.
302
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,359
Yes. Thanks, Will.
Yeah,
303
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,080
no worries, yeah, cool.
304
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,280
Right.
305
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,959
Absolutely, although you should
probably know,
306
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,359
the Olympics in 2028
307
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,839
is not something I've been
thinking about up to now.
308
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,239
Like, there's enough with 2026.
Right?
309
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,439
But I guess I was just curious
to hear a bit more
310
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,559
about the whole sustainability
brief there. Right?
311
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:02,279
Meanwhile, with a
headhunter on the loose,
312
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,519
the opening ceremony
finally coming towards them
313
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,879
in one way or another,
and change in the air,
314
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,079
people are starting to think
about the future.
315
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,040
I will say I'm not sure I've
been headhunted before, so...
316
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,199
Oh. Well, that's kind of you.
317
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,480
Kind of you to say that.
318
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,040
Right.
319
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,680
Uh-huh.
320
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,399
So I wasn't going
to talk to him originally.
321
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,759
Right. I guess he's just some guy,
322
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,519
you know, headhunter
doing his job.
323
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,239
Well, yes, I know. He's been
trying to get hold of me, too.
324
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,639
Right. But this is LA, right?
325
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,919
Sustainability actually
means something there.
326
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,639
Like, they get it.
They kind of invented it.
327
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,399
You are serious.
I don't know.
328
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,199
And this is all to do
with what's happened?
329
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,279
So this is not going
to go away, right?
330
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,399
What, you mean...?
He's not going to give it up.
331
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,159
He's not going to stop.
OK, but that's his stuff.
332
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,079
And I am not going
to let him do this to us.
333
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,199
So what, you'd leave? Well...
334
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,119
I mean, how's that going to help?
335
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,959
I don't know. Help us, I mean?
336
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:03,399
So, what if this was a moment
for a new start?
337
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,279
A new start? Right. For us?
338
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,800
What if this is a solution
waiting to happen?
339
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,399
OK, well, so obviously
340
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,359
quite a lot to think about
this morning.
341
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,519
Yep. Ay, Dios mio.
342
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,599
Yeah, right.
343
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,759
It's Thursday, and
there's a lot to think about
344
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,319
this morning. Overnight, the
complex and sensitive issues
345
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,479
surrounding the opening
ceremony have become
346
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,719
more sharply defined.
347
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,159
I mean, Ryan,
I suppose the first thing is,
348
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,119
in terms of
the boycott threat itself...
349
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Yeah. How seriously should we be
taking this? Sure. Right. Right.
350
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,319
Yes. So...
351
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,239
Following rumours of
the White House's plans
352
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,079
to rename the Azteca Stadium
the Stadium of the Americas,
353
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,199
the Mexican team
is now threatening
354
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,639
to boycott
the tournament altogether.
355
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,279
And several other countries
are threatening to follow suit.
356
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,319
I mean, I suppose, basically,
is this real?
357
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,839
Excuse me?
Could it be part of some...?
358
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,479
Is it real? Well, I just mean...
359
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,919
We change the name of the
stadium, they're not playing.
360
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,439
Right. And there is no World Cup.
361
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,079
OK, well... It's simple.
362
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,519
Good to get clarity on that
straight away.
363
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,639
Sure.
364
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,519
This is an existential moment
for the Oversight team.
365
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,519
If, up to now, they've been
caught between
366
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,079
seriously Hispanic and
relentlessly American visions
367
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,359
of the opening ceremony,
368
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,159
they're suddenly facing
a situation
369
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,799
where there may be nothing
to open at all -
370
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,479
unless they can find
a common brink
371
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,279
to walk everybody
backwards from.
372
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,679
I mean, let's think about this,
373
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,319
because in the end,
this is about people, isn't it?
374
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,799
People? I mean, it always is.
375
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,719
Excuse my language, but what
the fuck does that mean?
376
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,559
Well, so in terms
of the White House, I mean,
377
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,919
what is it that the President
actually wants here?
378
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,599
What do you mean,
what does he want?
379
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,079
He wants to steal
the Azteca Stadium
380
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,239
from the Mexican people!
381
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,399
That's something we need
to talk about, obviously.
382
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,599
No, it is not. But in the meantime,
383
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,839
thinking laterally,
384
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,359
is there anything
we can offer him
385
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,679
that might make him feel good?
386
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,079
Huh. Anything we can offer him?
387
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,999
Just as a way of
taking the heat out of this.
388
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,360
Uh-huh. Yeah.
389
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,079
Well, there's Greenland,
I suppose.
390
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,599
OK. Greenland?
391
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,639
Great. That would probably do it.
392
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,519
Sure. I mean, Eric, is there a way
393
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,399
of finding out if there's
something that might work here?
394
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,319
Maybe using a backchannel?
Ah, yes.
395
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,479
Maybe through Zurich? Well, just to
bypass all the politics here.
396
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,519
Then perhaps we can say,
397
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,159
"Is there a problem
in our world today
398
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,639
"that cannot be solved when
great men share a golf cart?"
399
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,879
Excuse me? Yes. Well...
400
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,399
A golf cart? Huh.
401
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,999
That's not a backchannel.
That's more of a front channel.
402
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,679
So then maybe there wouldn't be
any problems in the world today
403
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,359
if all these men
were not playing golf. Yes?
404
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,639
Yes, well... Huh.
405
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,239
Well... That's a bigger question.
406
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,399
Ah-ha. Yep. Bueno.
407
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,520
Yeah. No, I mean,
to be fair, that's huge.
408
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,479
Right. Yes. And just so I know.
I mean, hypothetically,
409
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,439
in terms of any meetings
or interviews or whatever,
410
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,479
I mean, that could be done by
Zoom, could it, or, you know?
411
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,519
Right. Yes.
412
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,359
But beyond
the opening ceremony, for Ian,
413
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,759
this is a week with a number
of things to think about
414
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,519
and a number of people
to talk to
415
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,319
about a number
of different things.
416
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,599
I mean, thanks for getting
in touch in the first place.
417
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,799
I'm sorry I was so hard
to get hold of, but...
418
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,840
Absolutely. Yes. And obviously
I'll get back to you and...
419
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,799
Right. Yes.
420
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Yes. No, I'm sure it will.
421
00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:18,360
OK. Bye. Bye, bye.
422
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,679
OK, so just to say,
before we start,
423
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,119
I think I'm right in saying,
Gabriela,
424
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:36,719
Ryan isn't with us this morning.
425
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:37,759
No, he is not.
426
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,599
I mean, I'm not quite sure
what the...
427
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,799
So, Ryan will not be with us
because he is not here.
428
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,559
Right. Yeah, no, he's gone, yeah.
429
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,439
Right. End of story.
430
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,799
OK, good. Eric, I gather we have
intelligence back from Zurich.
431
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,840
Well... Really? So... Emily.
432
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,039
Right. OK.
What are we looking at here?
433
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,519
Do you really want me
to answer that?
434
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,399
A picture of the President, yes?
435
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,999
100%. On the big screen.
436
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,799
OK. Huh.
437
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,079
Friday morning,
438
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,679
and with the opening ceremony
crisis deepening
439
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,439
and more nations
threatening to pull out
440
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,519
following the White House's
intervention, it looks as if,
441
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,479
thanks to some covert
backchannel activity by Zurich,
442
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,839
they may have found an answer
to the question of
443
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,239
what you give to
the biggest man in the world
444
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,799
to make him feel good.
445
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,519
Yeah. So what we're saying
to him is,
446
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,359
he's going to be sitting there
watching -
447
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:27,879
whether Melania's got her
giant hat on, we don't know...
448
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,279
Yes, well. Right. So he looks up
449
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,719
and he pretty much sees himself
on the big screen
450
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,999
any time, as much as he likes.
451
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,439
OK. Huh.
452
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,199
So the information we have -
453
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,159
this could be very helpful
to us in the wider picture.
454
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,879
Meaning what?
If we could give him that,
455
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,439
then some of the other stuff
might...
456
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,239
Well, who can say? Pfft!
457
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,759
OK, so what I am hearing
from their comms people,
458
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,799
we're going to need
a figure here. Yes?
459
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,119
Oh, right, of course. A figure?
460
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:54,279
Exactly. OK.
461
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,159
An actual percentage
of available screen time
462
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,439
compared to anyone else. Right.
463
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,039
This is gonna be fun, right? Yes.
464
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,679
OK... OK, OK. Bueno lo que...
465
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,959
I'm not telling you the figure
for the Mexican President.
466
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,359
That's not going to happen.
You're in the White House.
467
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,359
We're talking about
the American President here.
468
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:11,919
It's become clear that
the possible breakthrough
469
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,359
will depend
on detailed negotiations
470
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:15,999
with the White House,
the Mexican authorities,
471
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,799
and various other parties
472
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,759
as to the precise percentage
of time
473
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,519
that so-called dignitaries
will have on screen
474
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,879
during coverage
of the opening ceremony.
475
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,399
Exacto. Perfecto. Right. Absolutely.
476
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,759
Muchas gracias. You got it.
477
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,879
Great. Bye-bye. Bye.
478
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,639
It's been tense
and it's been difficult,
479
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,079
but eventually it looks as if
480
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,040
they might have
finally got there.
481
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,599
63%, guys. Right.
482
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,159
That's a great outcome. Wow.
483
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,279
Vamos! What?
484
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,399
It is an outcome.
485
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,759
They asked for, like, 95,
right? This is a terrific deal.
486
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,639
So just to be clear,
because this is freaky stuff,
487
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,359
when it comes to time allocated
to shots of these guys
488
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:52,519
during the ceremony,
489
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,759
we're saying 63% of them
will be of President ?
490
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:56,999
Right. Exactly.
491
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,799
Jesus. Exactly. And in the meantime,
492
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,799
we're saying to the Mexican
President that she has 29%.
493
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,359
Yeah, well.
Because she is Mexican
494
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:04,639
and because she is a woman.
495
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,239
Well, that's her shit. Excuse me?
496
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,959
Do we want this opening ceremony
497
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,639
to happen or not? Well, yes.
498
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,319
I think we can say
yes, we do. Yes?
499
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,799
Yes, we do, yes.
In the meantime, Gabriela,
500
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,879
would it be an idea to give
the Mexican team a sort of...
501
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,199
Sure. OK. ..you know,
502
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,479
an unofficial heads-up that
things are going to be...?
503
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,999
I'm doing that.
To get the de-escalation
504
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,159
process under way.
Lo estoy haciendo ahora.
505
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,359
I don't want to be picky
about this, but just before
506
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:28,279
we get into some kind of
de-escalation frenzy here,
507
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,119
we have 63% .
508
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:32,399
I'm trying hard not
to visualise that, by the way.
509
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,599
29% President Sheinbaum.
510
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,639
Exactly. Because...
511
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,959
Look, don't. So that's 92%.
512
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,119
Right. Right. And the other 8% is
our guy. Right? Ah, yes.
513
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:42,519
It's Zurich. OK. Uh...
514
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,959
So we know for sure "our guy",
as you call him,
515
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,159
is always 15%. Yes? Right.
Because...
516
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,359
What? Always.
517
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:49,959
15%? No, no, no.
518
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,359
What, are you insane? Yes.
519
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:52,959
That's 107%. Right.
520
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,279
107? So, this is enshrined
521
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,359
in the official statutes
of the tournament.
522
00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:59,359
Yeah. I'm sorry. That's too much.
523
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:01,639
We just negotiated
this whole fucking deal!
524
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,399
Yes. I mean, on the upside,
I suppose the good news is,
525
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,479
all we need to do now
526
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,479
is just find another 7%
from somewhere.
527
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,919
What? Yeah, no, 100%.
528
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,079
Yeah, so... Well?
529
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,239
OK. No, no, no.
530
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,279
So we're not getting
down below 63%.
531
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,719
That is not gonna happen.
532
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,799
Bueno. Mexico is
not going below 29. Yes?
533
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,079
This is the whole history
of our country.
534
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,679
Right. Um... Yeah. Because I guess
535
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,479
where I was going with this is,
536
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,359
what about Canada? Excuse me?
537
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:25,279
Oh, right, yes. Canada?
538
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,959
Yeah. What about Canada?
539
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,559
Well, I guess, you know, just...
540
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,919
...what about Canada, really?
541
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,800
Yes. No. Good point.
542
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,439
Whilst the numbers
are being re-crunched,
543
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,719
this is a good moment for Ian
to catch up with his assistant.
544
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,039
Oh, these look nice.
Yeah, no, they're Eric's.
545
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,399
Right. Yes.
546
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,999
D'you want one? They're Eric's.
547
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,799
Yes, I don't care.
548
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,719
And it's a week where
there's a lot to catch up on.
549
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,759
Oh, yes. So, Ryan Hertz
would like to meet you.
550
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,359
Oh, right.
For a coffee or something,
551
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:56,199
to talk about what happened. Yes.
552
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,839
Yes, he's suggesting
two weeks' time.
553
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,399
Two weeks' time? Yeah. Thursday.
554
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,319
He thinks he'll be out again
by then.
555
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,999
Right.
556
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,799
I'm pretty sure I'm not
going to be here then.
557
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,879
OK, cool, so...
558
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,559
In fact, I should probably say,
Will...
559
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,959
You should probably know.
560
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,719
In fact, you'll hear this
soon enough anyway.
561
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,400
I'm not going to be here then.
562
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,240
What? So...?
I'm not going to be here.
563
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,840
I'm sorry.
564
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,119
I mean, I've been talking to them
565
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:28,319
for the past week or so.
566
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,279
Zoom interviews with people
in LA and so on.
567
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,719
So, one of the things
about this particular role,
568
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,159
for various reasons,
it starts quite soon,
569
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,639
really soon actually.
570
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,999
So if I was going to make
a decision...
571
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,399
And then here we're not far off
the opening ceremony now.
572
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,679
So we're almost there.
So in the end,
573
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,799
I suppose it seemed
as good a time as any, really.
574
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,439
So is it
a professional thing or...?
575
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,519
Right.
576
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,320
Or is it something more,
you know...?
577
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,239
So this isn't what I thought
was going to happen
578
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,519
when I came out here.
Any of it, I mean.
579
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,079
I didn't think I was going to
feel this way about someone,
580
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,479
not at this point in my life
anyway,
581
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,600
or any point in my life, really.
582
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,639
But here I am.
If that answers your question.
583
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,320
Yes. Well... I mean, yes.
584
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,000
LIVELY CHATTER
585
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,919
Ian Fletcher's shock
decision to leave Miami
586
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,759
and accept a senior role in the
2028 Olympics in Los Angeles
587
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,479
is a reminder for everyone
that nothing lasts for ever.
588
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,919
But sometimes the big things
in life can happen fast.
589
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,479
And for Ian himself,
590
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,879
this is a moment that could be
not so much an ending
591
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,039
as a new beginning.
592
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,519
So we are ready?
593
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,999
We are all here, yes? Well, yes.
594
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,599
Yeah, cool, yeah.
I suppose now is
595
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,119
as good a time... Although,
hang on, where's Sarah?
596
00:23:58,120 --> 00:23:59,519
Sarah? She was here a moment ago,
597
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,319
but I can't see her.
Ah, yes, Sarah, yes.
598
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,759
Where is Sarah?
599
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,080
Yeah, I dunno, yeah.
600
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,399
He called me in the car
this morning
601
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,599
and he's going after custody
now if I go.
602
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,959
Right.
603
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,039
Where Sarah is, it turns
out, is up on the terrace.
604
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,319
Lily says, "Mom, go, do it.
You deserve it. I'll be OK."
605
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,759
She's 16,
and she's a young woman.
606
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,519
But...
607
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,239
...I look at her
608
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,719
and there's a nine-year-old
girl in there somewhere.
609
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,480
I can see it in her eyes and...
610
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,199
...I'm scared. Yes.
611
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,480
I never used to be scared.
612
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,320
I'm sorry.
613
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,000
I'm so, so sorry.
614
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,039
BELL RINGS
615
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,839
OK. OK. Thank you.
616
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,999
Having established
where Sarah was and why,
617
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,959
Ian's task now
is to go back downstairs
618
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,199
and deliver a leaving speech,
in the knowledge
619
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,519
that if endings can sometimes
be new beginnings,
620
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,279
they can equally often
just be endings.
621
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,479
What can we say
about Ian Fletcher?
622
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,799
Well, we can say
it was an honour
623
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,239
and a privilege
to serve under him.
624
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,759
But most of all,
we can say thank you.
625
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,239
Thank you, Ian,
626
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,759
for steering us through
dangerous waters
627
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,799
to within reach of safety
and dry lands
628
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,159
before leaving us
to take up your duty
629
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,199
on another great ship
out on the high seas.
630
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,999
How we shall continue
from now on...
631
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,559
...we can never know.
632
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,759
But in the meantime...
633
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,479
Thank you, Emily.
634
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,039
...we would like you to have this
635
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,959
as a token of our gratitude
636
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,719
and as a reminder of your time
here with us in Miami.
637
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,559
WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
638
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,759
Uh... Thank you.
639
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,759
Thank you. Well...
640
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,200
Uh... Well, thank you. Uh...
641
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,439
Well, th-thank you.
Well, first of all,
642
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,239
thank you, Eric, for that.
643
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,599
And, uh... And then
thank you for the...
644
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,240
...uh, for this. Yes.
645
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,719
So, for me, this has been
a quite extraordinary time
646
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,159
here in Miami.
647
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,519
When I arrived, I didn't know
quite what to expect.
648
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,359
Um, perhaps
that was just as well.
649
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:24,039
So in some ways, I feel like
I've only just arrived
650
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,639
and yet here I am,
saying goodbye to it already.
651
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,359
Yes. So now I want to say
thanks to you,
652
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:32,959
because I think
I can say I've learned a lot.
653
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,599
I hope I have anyway.
654
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,719
About soccer, obviously - Phil.
655
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,959
About the optics of Mexico -
Gabriela.
656
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,879
About Canadian logic - Owen.
657
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,399
About all things Zurich,
up to a point - Eric.
658
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,199
Uh, literally everything
I could ever want to know
659
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,159
about the US legal system - Nick.
660
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,159
And then perhaps about
what matters in our world
661
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,999
beyond all that - Sarah -
662
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,519
what's really most precious
in our life
663
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,479
and how we can try to save it.
664
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,479
And just so you know, this is
not stuff I'm going to forget.
665
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,759
I think I can say already
that my time here in Miami
666
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,639
is going to stay with me
667
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,479
wherever I end up in the future.
668
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,800
So thank you for that,
all of you.
669
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,399
And for the alligator head, obviously.
670
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,880
CHEERS
671
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,319
BELL RINGS
672
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,039
APPLAUSE CONTINUES
673
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,520
Yes. And landscape.
674
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,599
At the end of the day,
it's coming to the end
675
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,239
of Ian Fletcher's time in Miami.
676
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,159
No, it's pretty cool,
cos, the thing is,
677
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,959
I've never been to LA. Right, yes.
678
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,439
Yeah. I was going to go once.
679
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,439
My parents were like,
"Go and stay with your sister."
680
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:43,919
Yes. But my sister was like,
681
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,399
"We've got ants. You can't come."
682
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,879
Right. Ants? I know.
683
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,719
Will, we should probably
talk about this.
684
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,039
Yeah, cos apparently they can
eat your shoes and stuff.
685
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,039
Well, but... Yeah, I know, mental.
686
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,160
Yeah, no,
cos what they do is...
687
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,239
