OK. Congratulations, you found me.

Let's get it over with, shall we? Take the picture because I would

like to eat this while it's still hot.

Oh, no, that's not why I'm here.

Oh, no?

I'm with the Dutch Royal House.

You're not with the press?

Do I look like press?

I apologize Miss 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, you're not the only one.

Well, you must know these are demanding times for his royal

highness, but he sends his regards.

I thought I might as well start.

Excellent. Now, in the meantime, you'll 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,

Miss 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.

You're going to teach me how to walk?

I've 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. We'll conclude our days

by practicing etiquette and protocols.

Well, I grew up in a world of etiquette

so that won't be a problem.

Oh, no, no, it's fine, you don't have to do that.

It's fine. Well, leave you to it then.

If there's anything I can help you with,

don't hesitate to contact me. You can reach me at this number,

day and night. Welcome to Brussels, Miss Zorreguieta.

One more thing.

Miss Maccio, I see you've already made friends, good. Welcome, dear.

Thank you.

Welcome, Maxima will show you around and explain everything, OK?

I'll take good care of her, miss.

In the seventeenth 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 be...

Miss Maccio, would you like to share your thoughts?

I must say, I'm quite disappointed. Your classmate hasn't taken

the responsibility to point out the most important rule we abide

here at Northlands. Miss Zorreguieta?

We must always speak English within the walls of Northlands.

However, this being your first day

at Northlands, I'll forgive your ignorance.

As I was saying, these so called conflicts...

Mister Frequin is quite famous for his somewhat direct method

of approach, but don't worry about it.

How did they find me?

It wasn't 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 republic's 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.

Cooperated. It won an Oscar for best foreign film.

Fedja van Huet, he's one of our most talented

actors.

My father made us watch lots of movies.

So, if I say... "You're gonna need a bigger boat?"

Jaws.

"Well, nobody's perfect."

Some Like it Hot.

"Life is like a box of ch... "

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

OK, OK, OK. "Life moves pretty fast,

if you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it."

I have no idea.

Seriously? Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Classic. I'll bring it next time.

OK, my turn.

Your turn.

"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads."

Back to the Future.

"I'll have what she's having."

When Harry Met Sally. Meg Ryan speelde toch fenomenaal in die film.

Fenomenaal?

Fenomenaal.

- As in phenomenal? - M-hm.

OK. Wait for it, ah.

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. 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."

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, how's Thomas?

Not as stiff as he looks.

No? Just a couple more months.

But first you have to pronounce the "ui" properly.

I've 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, it's- it's fine.

(IN DUTCH)

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?

Ja, ik kom eraan. Sorry I've got to go,

so I'll call you in a few hours.

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

What's going on?

Baby, I will call you in a bit. Yes? I love you.

Alex!

(INAUDIBLE)

Cool place, this. You work here? Every night?

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

Hey!

Are you her dad?

How did you find me?

You called me. Chop chop.

Doei doei.

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 she's a sweetheart.

Mooi.

Wie is dat?

Hm?

25 years.

You're 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,

who's about to make the most important decision of her life.

Let's get you home, dear. Chop chop.

Hello, yes, this is Maxima Zorreguieta,

I would like to reschedule a flight to Buenos Aires.

Yes, as soon as possible. Yes, I'll wait.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

You can come in, but I'm leaving.

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

Thank you.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

What are you?

I'm going home, that's what. Don't even think

of coming for Christmas. Andate a la mierda.

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

You have no idea what's going on? Not a single clue?

No?

This is what's going on.

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

Do you think I'm stupid?

I don't know, do you believe what they write?

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

OK, so that's 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 don't know, tell me!

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

Fuck you. Fuck you.

OK.

Don't even think about following me.
