Original subtitles

-Hello everyone! If you watch the series in original

language, you will be exempt from the TV license fee.

There are no more royalties?

You will not be exempt, there are no more royalties.

But it was bullshit. I was saying that...

Okay, well I invite you to watch it in original version.

-Who's on the floors above? -At 13th, the president, of course.

She makes decisions there with Christian, his chief of staff.

On the 12th, the executive vice-president.

11th, the lower vice-pdts, then the

commissioners by file, and so on by protocol order.

-And...

Who is below us?

-The legal department.

-Hello, Madam Vice President. -Hello.

-Hello. -Would you like...

Valentine, everything is fine, since you arrived?

-Yes, everything is fine.

-When will it be? -In another 3 months.

-Congratulations! -And you?

-Ah! 20 months. It's a fairly complicated matter of competition.

yellow>-Mrs. Commissioner.

-Hello.

-When I arrived in Brussels, I was just an intern.

-I, European Commissioner, I will not have my

actions dictated to me by technocrats. -Valentine

Cantel, it's the return of politics. -I will shake the beast.

-Make the lines move.

-Turbulate the system. -Shake the beast.

-And no one will get in the way of my industrial project.

yellow>Objectives,

results:

an Airbus of the sea.

white>-Mrs. Commissioner, I completely agree.

The Commission is a machine just waiting to be piloted.

She is at the service of the designs

of her masters, and she can lead them far.

So...

Tell me: this Airbus of the sea, what would that be, precisely?

-This is...

a big project.

A major project which must put

Europe back on the map and hold

its own to the Americans and the Chinese.

-And to the Indians.

-And so...

Concretely?

-Concretely...

It will be super concrete.

-I see.

In fact, your vision is that

of a large European industrial project.

-That's it.

-A great achievement, perhaps in the field of transportation.

-Exactly.

-Which combines several industrial sectors.

In line with ecological concerns

contemporary.

-Obviously. -You don't have in

mind, I'm saying this at random,

an old-fashioned, polluting container ship?

-No!

-In your mind, we are talking

about cutting-edge zero-carbon technology.

-That's it! -Good.

We listen to you.

-It's in the field of transportation...

Several sectors...

A zero-carbon container ship.

That's it!

What a brilliant idea!

*-Imagine "The Empire Strikes Back".

*The UK's mission vis-à-vis the EU, *is

like the Jedi against the Death Star of the Commission.

-Are we the Jedi or the Empire?

*-We are the good guys *who want to save

the universe from the hegemonic ambition of the EU.

*This is what our readers like and this is what we are going to publish.

*If they want to whine about the lack of black

women at the Oscars, *they can read the "Guardian", right?

-Okay, noted. THANKS.

Hello?

-Hello! -Sorry.

-Hello!

-Is this here, the British-influenced strategy office?

-Absolutely! Welcome !

-Petre!

-What is it? -They took our project!

-Where did you get that from? -The Frenchwoman took our project!

Carmen Saru came a week ago.

She asked me if we had a project in the works.

I said yes, I gave him our file.

*-My first initiative as commissioner: *the

launch of a major project for zero-carbon container ships.

-This is our project! We did it !

-OUR CONTAINER SHIP OF THE FUTURE WAS CHOSEN!

OUR CONTAINER SHIP OF THE FUTURE!

-And our space airship, do you think it will happen one day?

-Anything is possible, Petre! We're in Brussels, I'll remind you.

-So let's toast!

-Is this place free?

It is said that the Greens are running for the presidency of Parliament.

-Yeah... -That would be smart of them.

Michel Specklin and Konrad Stracke

could be beaten by Cornelius Jaegger.

He is Green but he is

Flemish, therefore liberal, and therefore...

-Are you really coming to talk to

me about the Greens on your lunch break?

Seriously?

Or you want me to write an article to discreetly encourage

an application that would lose Specklin and would favor your leader?

-I don't know why I put so much stuff on my board.

I am gluten intolerant.

That doesn't mean anything to you, to exchange our trays?

-I accept nothing from a parliamentary assistant.

-Political advisor. -It's worse.

-I'm not buying you lunch, we're just swapping our trays.

At the end of the day, you will still have paid for your meal.

Perfect.

What would create a buzz: "10

reasons why the Greens have the presidency."

I have already listed 7 for you.

-And that's where the magic happens.

-OK.

British influence in Brussels is based on what strategy?

-I would say we had quite an influence, though.

Before Brexit.

But now, no one invites us to meetings.

-Do you regret Brexit? -Uh... No!

No, no!

No!

No, I...

I am 100% pro-Brexit, note this in the article.

OK?

-100%. -Pro-Brexit.

-Great.

-Europe needs big projects.

Great achievements, developed together,

brought to fruition by the addition of our skills

and our common determination to build a world best.

Greece, a major maritime power

on the continent, is

an essential component of this project.

This is why I wanted this first meeting today.

-"Our government remembers that it was

only united "that the Greek cities were

able to repel " the attacks of the Persian tyrants."

-He's talking about Iran here?

-This is a reference to the Persian Wars.

Greek politicians like to talk about history.

It is said that this is what makes their conversations so pleasant.

-So I can count

on your support?

...

-The Minister highlights the difficulties

due to the accounting reform to include

environmental assets and its consequences for Greek shipowners.

-The Blue Deal?

What connection?

-At the congress of the Isthmus of

Corinth, Athenians and Spartans put aside

their old resentments to unite c.

white>and derive common glory from it. ..

.

-"Stranger, go and tell Lacedaemon " that we lie here in obedience to her laws."

-Minister asks you to renounce

accounting reform in exchange for Greece's participation

to your project.

-But the reform is passed. There's nothing more we can do!

...

-The minister will enjoin to

remember the advice of Artabanes to Xerxes.

At the time, this was not heard. -Have a nice day, ladies.

-Artabane was

the brother of Darius I

and... -That'll be enough.

He wants me to drop the reform in exchange for my container ship.

We will not give in to this grotesque blackmail.

And there is nothing more we can do: the Blue Deal has been voted on.

There's nothing we can do, right?

Huh?

We are not going to give in to their grotesque blackmail.

Right?

-There would be a solution to bury

accounting reform, but that would not please Parliament.

And above all, you refuse to give in to this grotesque blackmail.

-Yes, we are not going to give in to this grotesque blackmail.

That is to say, “bury the Blue Deal accounting reform”?

anthem played on the banjo.

-Eamon? What good wind brings you?

-I was told that I could find you here.

The Commission presented the delegated acts

of the Blue Deal. I thought you might be interested.

You will note that the Commission has wide

latitude to set the details of most legislative texts.

She didn't hold back on it here.

-Eamon...

I'm not the trigger-happy kid you knew.

I'm tired.

I want to refocus on what really matters.

My lands...

My animals... Maybe start a family...

-I have to go to a coordinators meeting.

I'll let you gain knowledge of the material.

Parliament is one month old

to manifest.

And possibly veto it.

Oh the bitch!

Look!

The level is so high that it will not apply to any company!

Look at the dates! If you add the adaptation period

with the withdrawal period and introduction,

this should come into force in... -Weird, indeed.

-This will come into effect when my children have their children.

And this will only apply to companies larger than Google!

Do you know any? -Let's see... Maybe there is...

-Sven, the Commission is trying to scam us!

-Samy, this is probably a misunderstanding.

Why would the Commission want to tamper with a

legislative measure that would help us restore

biodiversity and achieve the IPCC objectives an increase of 2 degrees maximum?

Think! No, it's unthinkable!

-You don't know Valentine.

-The Commission, believe me, is

very respectful of Parliament's opinion

for legislative procedures. -Who do you know at the Commission?

-Okay, we'll call them.

-OK.

*-What you say surprises me. It must be a misunderstanding.

-That's exactly what I said, a simple misunderstanding.

2047, that would mean nothing! (What was I saying?)

*-My assistants will review everything and we can discuss it.

-That would be really great!

*-I'll leave it to my department *

to double-check everything this week.

*Next week, my diary is already full.

*Then it will be school vacation for two weeks.

*Then there will be the plenary session in Strasbourg.

*Afterwards, there is Ascension Thursday, so...

*Early June, would that suit you?

-Um...

Perfect!

*-Your questions will be answered at that time.

-It's perfect!

Many thanks to you for taking

the time to clarify everything, Ms.

Saru.

red>Sven hangs up. So! You clearly see, that it was a misunderstanding!

-Yeah. In June.

-Hm? -In June!

Parliament has only one month to oppose the delegated act.

It will be too late to do anything in June.

-But in the meantime, the Commission

will withdraw the delegated act, that's obvious!

They're going to do it, aren't they?

Irish music.

-The problem, is that you don't have a balance sheet.

-I don't have a balance sheet?! I don't have a balance sheet?!

And the West Indian day in the canteen, then?

And against everyone's advice! But one day is too short.

One coconut chicken, three accoutrements... We haven't seen anything of their kitchen!

What should have been done, it's Caribbean week, that's it.

Banana fritters, okra in sauce, stuffed crab...

-Yes, you didn't have time. -Exactly, I didn't have time!

Two and a half years of presidency, it's way too short!

There are countries where it is much more!

In China, Russia, Venezuela, there aren't even any limits!

In Equatorial Guinea, it’s 43 years since the president has been there!

So with our two and a half years, we are ridiculous.

Then you have to think about the prestige of the institution, all the same!

-You would be the stability candidate, then.

-There you go!

Stability! So !

Creole blood sausage...

Cod shredded...

It's time to finish the job.

-Your strongest coffee, please. Take away.

Hi.

-Hey, will you talk to me again?

What's new?

-I'm no better than you: shit.

-Okay, that's...

-I published this at the request of Konrad Stracke's advisor.

For a free lunch! I'm just a sellout!

-It's not that bad. It's not like posting fake news.

-My country was from the Soviet bloc, I fight for the free press.

In my country, journalism still suffers from pressure from the State.

-Hm...

You're worrying too much about

this article. You just give people what they want!

-For 14 years, the English press made fun of Europe.

After all, it was harmless! Except Brexit has arrived.

Brexit hasn't changed much for you.

white>You pay more for your handbag. But it unleashed xenophobia.

white>Poles are described as

parasites who live on state aid.

white>My cousins ​​had to leave England because of this!

When I return to Poland, I find my “parasitic”

cousins ​​who ask me for money because I live in the West.

-If the new accounting model is not applied,

we will not be able to implement the biodiversity strategy!

-These delegated acts can neutralize the Blue Deal!

It will be disastrous for the oceans!

Very good.

You don't want to fight.

It doesn't matter if Valentine Cantel makes fun of Parliament a second time.

-What?

-The Commission is betraying our agreement

and we are too weak to fight, so what does it matter?

Sven, we're leaving.

-Who are you calling weak?

-The three of us.

-I'm not weak! -Yes, you are!

-No! -Valentine

Cantel stops at nothing!

She cheats, she betrays her friends!

You are no match!

-Oh yes! I am not afraid !

-Ah? Really ? -Oh yes!

-You would be ruthless?

Would you shoot him?

-I have the means to fuck her whenever I want!

-Stronger!

-I'm going to fuck her!

-Yes! -Speak less loudly.

-Say it: "Damn the Commission!"

-Damn the Commission!

-Damn the Commission! -Damn the Commission!

-Damn the Commission! -Can I try?

Damn the Commission!

-Damn the commission!

-SHIT THE COMMISSION! SHIT THE COMMISSION!

-Shit! -Yeah!
