All language subtitles for The.Deal.2025.S01E01.Miss.Nobody.720p.CHPL.WEB.AAC2.0.H.264-BTN

This is what it looked like when I first saw it.

I thought it would be like this.

I've never seen anything like this before.

I'm here.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

No. No, not her. I don't even know who that chick is.

Miss Nobody, as far as I'm concerned.

Let's focus on the politicians, okay?

Get a shot of Federal Counsel Cassini,

and then Davies in the gold when she comes back out.

There seems to be some misunderstanding as to your position.

You should be behind Federal Counsel Cassini.

Ms. Weiss, I am the High Representative of the European Union.

We have a central role in these negotiations as opposed to you.

Federal Counselor Cassini represents Switzerland, the host country.

It was agreed upon with your services.

Are those Mr. Brunner's orders to humiliate us?

No, it's protocol.

It's my responsibility.

Brutus.

So please, if you may.

Thank you.

Why don't you start by serving us tea when we asked for it.

Ms. Davies, will you please take place?

Thank you.

11.55 seconds.

This was a push from my deep.

Thank you.

Well done.

Thank you.

I really wish you great success.

I sincerely hope we can come to an agreement this time.

Failure is not an option.

Your Excellency, Your Excellency, your picture will be taken now.

If you'll follow me, please.

There will be no statements to the press today.

You may stand, please. Thank you.

Mr. Minister! Mr. Minister!

No questions! No questions!

Does the Supreme Leader really want these negotiations to succeed?

Okay, Mr. Minister, you may follow me. Thank you.

Mr. Minister! Mr. Minister!

Mr. Minister, have you come to Geneva genuinely free to act?

I didn't cross the line

Ceylon's here

Good

Try dropping the word hope

You should take the initiative on the emotional narrative

The emotional narrative?

They teach you that bullshit at Yale?

God, it just gets worse and worse

Or hopeful? Try it

I make no promises

Thank you, thank you, it's a great pleasure to be here, good to see you, really, thank

you.

Madam Secretary of State, we will take a picture now for the press.

You may stand here and there will be no statements to the press today.

Under Secretary of State Cohen, what are you expecting from these final discussions?

The United States remains committed to its desire to move forward with our partners.

Yes, reaching a nuclear deal, an agreement would ensure the security of our allies while

offering Iran a potential return to the table of nations.

I come to Geneva, my heart filled with hope.

Here on the shores of Lake Geneva, the question of international sanctions on Iran, the control

of its nuclear sector, and above all, some $150 billion frozen in bank accounts, in particular

by the United States, are at the heart of these discussions.

One question remains.

Will Iran and the United States be able to reach an agreement by the end of what everyone

is already calling the last chance round?

I'm Natalie Myers for CLN.

I'm going to show you all of them. Look at the place.

It's a castle. Isn't it beautiful?

Geneva is a very good place.

It's so quiet.

It's a very good place.

It's a good place. It's safe and sound.

I hope we can go there together.

Yes, why not?

Are you hurt?

My back still hurts.

Do something. Get a doctor.

No, I don't have time right now.

How's your father?

He's fine.

Remember to bring salt for my father.

I'm not giving you any advice, Gilda.

These soldiers have put the book in my hands.

They're all under my watch.

Let me see.

Nothing will be found in Tehran.

I know, I know. Send me the name of the drug.

I'll see what I can do.

Is everything okay?

Gilda, I have to go.

Okay, okay.

Take the kids away from me.

Get the kids out of my way

Please

Open the door before you come in

The door was open

What are you doing?

Our nuclear power engineer has a problem

The engineers had to fire him

Iran without an engineer?

Is that even possible?

Don't worry

We found a hospital for him

Homan Shahbazi. I know him. He's very good.

Shahbazi is a simple worker.

I'm the engineer who won the award in Germany.

Sanjabi.

It's impossible.

Mr. Sanjabi is in prison.

I'm not the problem.

You put him in prison.

You have to get him out.

She's not herself. She could even be a traitor.

If I say I want Sanjabi,

you have to bring her.

Right now.

Okay, and then we'll cut to Zogh getting out of the car,

and then with a wide shot on Cohen and the U.S. delegation.

And that guy over there for the news ticker.

Ali Khatibi, monitoring Madhavi.

M-A-H-D-A-V-I. Minister of Foreign Affairs.

He controls him even.

Khatibi, he's here to ensure Madhavi's not making too many concessions to the West.

He's an ideologue for the Quds Force, their regime's hardliners, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Madhavi's a politician, well-to-do family, he's a moderate in the Reformers' camp.

Tony Reyes, Stanford Times.

Tony, please.

Don't they teach you anything in journalism school anymore?

Your badge, please.

Alexandra.

Yes?

It's 5 a.m. for the meeting. Are you going to Madhavi?

Yes, all right. Are you sure?

Yes.

Come on, hop.

Sorry, TV.

Zahran is our professor at Dehran University.

He can answer...

...many of the questions we have.

What's your opinion?

I agree with him.

Okay, up.

So Cohen will dangle the carrot.

Diplomacy, diplomacy, the same old song.

Then we bad Treasury motherfuckers whip out the stick.

Put that stick of yours back in your pants, Porter.

We're all know Treasury's policy, sanctions.

These are your first negotiations, so just stay in your place and watch.

Unless, of course, you'd like to continue your fascinating analysis of the situation.

No?

Hi, everybody. We all good?

All good.

Yeah?

Okay, let's get started.

Oh. No.

Treasury's on the other side, sweetheart.

Come in.

Almost there.

Thank you.

Okay, so how long before we get a line to the Secretary of State?

Five seconds.

Oh, good.

The line's secured. We have a connection.

Paula, get me my coffee.

Do you want sugar?

Paula, my coffee's black.

Ah, Cindy, there you are.

Listen, the Israelis say the Iranians

are three months away from having the bomb.

They're opposed to resuming negotiations

and they're not gonna cut us any slack.

Professor Kunitz and the engineers estimate

it's more like 15 months before they have an atomic bomb

before they have an atomic bomb that's operational.

So, let's not panic.

That's right, Professor Quiddits?

Yes, 15.

Three months, 15 months,

we're talking about nuclear weapons here.

Clock is ticking, president wants results.

Andy, what does Treasury think?

Treasury's position remains the same.

We don't give an inch without something in return.

They give us something, we give them something.

Give and take.

Porter's right.

Remember, this is not a negotiation based on trust.

You gotta play hardball, Cindy.

On the contrary, I think trust is absolutely key here.

We have an opening with Madavi.

The ball is in our court.

We need to make the first move.

You know, Gene, we could attempt to back channel

to evaluate the minister's mindset.

Oh, a back channel, yeah.

If the Russians and the Chinese find out

we're sucking up to Madavi, we can all pack our bags.

And not to mention Davies. I hear she's very touchy.

Davies? So we're scared of E.U. now?

No secret meetings before negotiations begin.

No back channel, Cindy. We clear on that.

Okay.

Good.

Yep.

Well, may the force be with you.

Okay. Ah, yes. We've moved the photo of the delegations to 10.15. Is that noted?

Yes.

Dario, think of body language. No arms crossed. Open. We welcome you. Okay?

Mrs. Baez?

Yes?

Mr. Brunner is waiting for you.

Thank you, Priyanka.

How are you? Are you getting better?

I'm under a bit of pressure, but it's going to be okay.

You don't know her yet. Is that why?

Let's go.

Are we ready for tomorrow?

Almost. Just a few more details.

Have you notified Corinne and Madhavi?

Yes.

I'm just asking if the Baie Channel is too risky for the other delegations.

They won't know anything, Alexandra.

I just wanted to warn you.

I'm a little worried, that's all.

Listen, politics is my field.

You left Tehran to bury yourself in the Protocol. You have to take care of yourself.

By the way, there's a change in the program.

Sit down.

The Iranians want to replace their nuclear engineer.

Really? Why? What's the reason?

I don't know.

Professor Saurouge probably didn't order it anymore.

Did they give the name of his replacement?

They'll tell us at the last minute.

It's a question of security, I suppose.

By the way, Cathy B wanted to see you.

A story with the bar of the hotel.

He no longer wants to see a single bottle of alcohol.

Do you take care of it?

Yes.

What are you doing?

You're clearing out the bar.

Yes, it's a request from the Iranians.

Bloody mullahs.

Like I don't have enough to put up with to support Geneva.

Pour me a whiskey.

Actually, no, make it a gin and tonic,

but, you know, easy on the tonic.

Do you like Brunner?

I'm not especially fond of him, but I imagine he must be aware of that.

He looks down on me, and he's obsessed with doing everything behind everyone else's back.

Switzerland can't have its cake and eat it, too.

You can't take advantage of everything the EU has to offer without paying the bill.

Now you want to organize international negotiations to boot.

Here you go.

Come, pour yourself a gin.

You're not gonna let me drink alone, are you?

I don't drink.

What? Never?

No, I don't have the enzyme to stomach it.

Well, a little gin never killed anyone.

Hmm.

Except my grandfather.

Good night. Good night.

Good morning, Mr. Minister.

Have I kept you waiting?

No, not at all. Did you sleep well?

Of course. Your hotels are more comfortable than ever.

I hope Madame Cohen will be open to some dialogue.

Well, Mr. Brunner is an experienced man.

He wouldn't organize this meeting

without being sure of her mind-set, so...

I hope so.

You can sit on the back of this. Thank you.

I remind you. You have to bend down for the journalist.

No, wait. The minister will have to scooch down for a second.

I'm sorry for your father. I was deeply saddened by his sudden death.

I know he held you in the highest regard.

The Supreme Leader met your father in 1980 during the hostage crisis.

He was a very young diplomat back then.

I saw him some years after that.

He had such style, savoir faire.

He listened to the Iranians,

without getting too close to the Americans.

You never were tempted to launch a diplomatic career yourself?

Iran and Tehran is a very good future.

You speak Farsi well.

I heard you left abruptly.

Didn't you like Iran?

But, uh, no, I, uh...

I came back for personal reasons.

I found my place in protocol.

You prefer the shadows.

No regrets?

No.

That's true. That door.

Please.

Please, please.

Minister, thank you for accepting my invitation.

The Undersecretary is waiting for you.

We have about 20 minutes.

Minister, thank you for accepting my invitation.

The Undersecretary is waiting for you.

We have about 20 minutes.

Minister, thank you for accepting my invitation.

Madam Under Secretary.

Minister.

Greetings from the room, Madam Under Secretary.

Thank you.

Olivier.

You know why the Iranian engineer couldn't come?

Apparently the Mossad set up an operation to eliminate him.

It comes from American colleagues.

Let's hope the next one will arrive in Geneva in one piece.

I'll watch the entrance.

Yes, follow me.

In a language that is foreign to me.

Yes. We all appreciate the ability to converse without interpreters.

I've agreed to make this effort for the final round.

I now expect for you to make a strong gesture.

Minister, I agreed to open up this space for discussion among progressives,

specifically in order to change the nature of our exchanges

to move forward together.

That is why I'm asking for action.

The United States can release a preliminary peace,

and then we will move forward.

Well...

That is a prerequisite of ours.

...was to be a gesture of mutual trust

without compensation.

And a joint photo.

A photo?

Just the two of us, yes,

which sends out a positive signal.

Madam Undersecretary, I did not come here

to negotiate a photo well a photo is a symbol the united states is reaching out to you you

you know it's up to you to seize that to grab it and reveal it to the world 10 billion is what we

are asking to start the sessions what 10 billion 10 billion yes 10 billion

well i call that an ultimatum call it what you will but those are my conditions to open up the

final round minister these negotiations have been going on for three years three years i had hoped

this time that we might move forward together yes to make progress make an installment of 10 billion

...and we will move forward together.

Ten billion is 100 times what the Revolutionary Guards pay Hezbollah...

...for their annual military budget.

Your sanctions give the Revolutionary Guards their credibility.

Sixteen million Iranians, sixteen million, live under the bomb.

Olivier.

Are you listening?

There's a vehicle on the road to the left.

Is it you?

Yes. It's weird.

Is it a wedding?

That's sure.

It's a deal.

Okay.

What's in it for us?

Tell me, is it in the interest of peace?

You know that's my single purpose.

Listen to me, my daughter.

Last week...

His wedding was in the rain, he didn't give up on himself.

Disaster.

The old mayor started to cry.

The priest didn't recognize him.

Everyone was devastated.

Washington is violating international law by freezing billions of dollars abusively confiscated from my country.

It is up to you to restore trust. We have done enough.

You're holding us hostage!

It's been your sole MO since 1979!

And you're incapable of moving on from the past!

And yet, you speak of moving forward!

This meeting has been a waste of time and useless!

Minister, please!

I'm going back to my hotel!

Adelitz.

So this is the Swiss Art of Facilitation?

Jer Cohen.

We've just taken three steps back.

I'll have to inform the Secretary of State.

This meeting was idiotic.

It was risky and badly prepared.

I'm very sorry.

Mr Brunner blew everything.

You can tell him that.

Be careful.

Amen.

Thank you.

Do you want two?

Do you want this?

No, thanks.

Good.

If you don't want it, I'll go there.

Why didn't you tell us that Mr. Mahdavi was going out of the room?

Why didn't you tell us Mr. Mahdavi was going out of his room?

I don't work for you

Is there something else?

It's my responsibility to take care of the minister

You have to help us

My duty is to protect the minister

Yes, I need to talk to the Secretary of State, please.

We are on the plane. He's asleep, I think.

Let me check.

Yes, it's kind of urgent. Thank you.

Yes, I need to talk to the Secretary of State, please.

We are on the plane. He's asleep, I think. Let me check.

Yes, it's kind of urgent. Thank you.

Yes, I need to talk to the Secretary of State, please.

We are on the plane. He's asleep, I think. Let me check.

Yes, it's kind of urgent. Thank you.

I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know, I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know...

Cindy Cohen?

I'm about to land in Berlin.

I have a meeting with Chancellor Merkel in two hours.

So, what do you want?

Gene, we, uh, need to discuss a strategic point.

Not now.

I'll call you when I have access to a secure line, okay?

Okay. Sure.

Reaching a nuclear agreement would ensure the security of our allies while offering

Iran a potential return to the table of nations.

These meetings where Iran joins the U.S., Russia, and China in Geneva...

Yes, Mom?

Everything okay?

Weren't you supposed to drop by this morning?

No, Mom.

I dropped by two days ago. I'm in Geneva.

I thought that was why you were calling. I'm... I was just on C.N.L.

Really? What the heck are you doing in Geneva?

Weren't you supposed to come over this morning?

No, Mom, I'm in Geneva.

For the negotiations with Iran. Remember?

Oh, yes. Your father told me.

No.

No, no. I'm the one who told you.

Dad, Dad could not have told you.

Excuse me?

Dad couldn't have told you.

Mom, you know that.

Come on.

Look, you can't keep calling me like this.

I can't repeat everything over and over.

It's exhausting.

Do you understand that?

Do you realize how exhausting it is?

Oh, god.

Why are you screaming like this?

You scare me.

Yes, I'm coming.

Mom, I've got to go.

Madam Undersecretary, the session's about to begin.

Yes, I heard you the first time.

God, why is everybody repeating themselves today?

Sorry.

Excuse me.

My mother is...

She...

She's losing her memory and, uh, well, it's...

I'm sorry.

And, uh, well, it's a little more than that, but, um...

And the one thing you're not supposed to say is remembered.

You remember that that is the one.

And that's just what I did.

Anika, do you want some?

Thank you.

The sage, the sage.

They still haven't told us their engineer's name?

No, not yet.

No, but it's not true, it's not possible. We need to know now.

I want to go back and find out.

Yes, please. Thank you.

Thank you.

Miss Light! Get out of that booth and call in the press. Come on! Let's get started!

Okay.

Mr. Markoff, please, stand here.

Mr. Tsao, please move a little bit forward, half a circle.

You have a circle. That's great, thank you.

Mr. Madhav, do you need help?

Mr. Porter, can you please move aside?

Because you're in the frame.

Yes, yes, of course.

Mr. Kunitz also. Professor Kunitz?

Please, thank you.

Okay. This is great. Good.

Okay.

No questions, sir, please. No questions.

No questions, sir. No questions, please. No questions.

No questions.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, thank you. That was it. Thanks.

Could you all go back to the press room, please?

Okay.

Session's about to start.

We need some peace and quiet here. Thank you.

Can we talk?

No, we can't talk. Please, can you please all look back?

Big news for you. You're really gonna want to hear this.

You're gonna want to hear this.

It's me. Trust me.

Hi.

Thanks.

The secret meeting between Cohen and Madavi?

What secret meeting?

Don't worry yourself out.

The back channel.

Editorial got pictures this morning,

which means the entire press world already knows about it.

We're cross-checking right now,

but the other newsrooms, they won't even bother.

You're welcome.

Yes, thanks.

Thank you.

Minister, Under Secretary,

and a warm welcome to Delegate Markov and Delegate Zhou.

It's a great honor for the European Union to act as mediator in this fifth round of negotiations,

and I hope our discussions this time...

Sorry, what...

Mr. Markov, may we know what's going on?

A secret meeting between Iran and the USA.

We are in the U.S.A.

George, what's going on?

There has been a leak in the police.

Yeah.

They had a secret meeting.

We have to leave.

We'll have to find a way to get out of here.

Well, you may have to say goodbye to your negotiations.

You think you're a grandmaster chess player with your bloody secret meeting,

but you've just successfully humiliated China and Russia.

And now the Iranian delegation will probably be called back to Tehran.

Congratulations!

The Iranians have told us the name of their engineer.

He will arrive tonight.

We don't even know if the negotiations will resume, so...

I will look for him, he is only a fourth of my great protocoler.

Is everything alright?

Maïs?

Thank you.

Alexandra!

Yes?

Well, it's time for you to leave.

And you're going to replace him.

No, I can't.

I mean,

his negotiations, it's his whole life.

His whole life?

Yes.

You were proposed as the ambassador of Tehran three years ago, weren't you?

And you refused. So I never understood why.

And if you refuse that position, you can make a cross on your career.

Do you want the negotiations to go to Vienna?

No. No, of course not.

Well, there you go.

Serhii, you're going to be the head of the mission.

The Iranians are leaving. Go and convince Madhavi to stay.

Go on!

All right.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, Miss Weiss.

May I please ask you to extend your stay in Geneva?

Please.

But to what end?

In the eyes of the guard corps, my position is weakened.

If I stay, they will make me pay for it one way or another.

Yes, I understand. But if you leave now,

the agreement could be buried definitively.

And isn't that just what your enemies want?

What all the enemies of this agreement want?

I also see it as an opportunity to impose your authority.

Your authority. I don't care about my authority. Okay. What matters is the iranian people exactly

Sanctions will return if you leave now

We both know that and who will suffer from it not us

the people

Your people

We've got a unique chance here an exceptional chance to get to an agreement maybe one last chance

Think about your country's youth about their future

Think about your daughters don't go to the emotional side

Please

If I stay

It will be for political reasons, of course

You know, if I stay, I demand to be treated with equal footing as the Americans.

We have a thousands-year-old history in Iran.

We are a sophisticated, educated people.

Even the slightest Tehran taxi driver knows dozens of poems by memory.

Who do these Coca-Cola drinkers think they are, looking and talking to us with such superiority?

I guarantee that Iran's interests will be respected.

I will personally commit to that.

The Swiss guaranteed me confidentiality.

I don't give a damn about the Swiss.

The Republicans will destroy us, the President's furious.

I think we should get out of here and lay it on the Iranians.

I agree.

You keep up our sanctions, we slow down their program.

We go back to what we've been doing very successfully...

No, we pass...

We were here...

Listen, listen, we pass up this opportunity,

we won't have an agreement for another ten years.

And by that time, they'll have the atomic bomb,

and God only knows what could happen.

And we'll be responsible for that.

Gene!

We can't leave!

Okay, we'll stay.

But, Cindy, no more faux pas.

One more slip-up like that,

you'll be on the next plane to D.C.

Good luck with that.

You don't talk to me like that.

Let me remind you,

you're talking to the head of this delegation!

Diplomacy demands patience.

I believe in sanctions.

in sanctions.

When Treasury takes things in hand, things move forward.

In 10 years, we have woven our web.

We've identified their money-laundering networks.

We've found their secret accounts.

We've turned off all the faucets, one by one.

With sanctions, it's the people who suffer.

The leaders are the last people to tighten their belts.

Until the people get sick of suffering

and overthrow the leaders.

Oh, come on, Porter, that's bullshit.

This regime is not going down so fast.

It was an honor to work for you.

Don't forget to go and find Professor Sanjabi at the airport.

Madame Weiss insisted on going.

Really?

Give me some information.

I won't hesitate.

Walter, I can talk to you.

Is there anything else you'd like to say?

Please.

Well, good-bye, Dario.

Good-bye, sir.

Good-bye.

I'm listening.

I hope you know that it was not my intention

to take your place, so...

Oh, really? You didn't defend me much

with the federal counsellor.

Yes, I even refused the post.

With a lot of conviction, apparently.

She didn't let me choose. That's where the negotiations went, in Vienna.

But do that for Switzerland, of course.

It's nice to talk fake, but the job requires a little more than that.

A political job, it doesn't improvise.

You have to have strong nerves, which has not always been the case for you, especially in Tehran.

You're going to be very lonely.

Yes, I am proud of you.

Don't your sister-in-law want to talk to me?

I don't know, dad.

Laleh, come talk to dad.

Yes.

Did you go to the university today?

No, I didn't go to the first grade today.

I know you didn't go to the first grade today.

What did I tell you?

I don't want to go to protests anymore

How can you really work with these guys?

You can't talk here, you can't work here

You can't even go to the streets and hang out with your friends

Stop it

I'm trying for the future of this country

Let's not talk about it anymore

Tell her to stop going to protests

Go

Hello?

Gildan.

Gildan, listen to me.

Take care of this girl. I don't need your help anymore.

Okay.

Please.

Mom, it's me.

Look, I really don't like losing my temper with you.

It really makes me sad.

I've spent the whole day...

Bring me back, okay?

I love you.

We'll have to go back and take care of the rest of the crew before we can go back to the ship.

This is the first time I'm going to do it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it this time.

I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

This is the first time I've done it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it this time.

This is the first time I've done it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it.

The city is now under the control of the city council.

I don't even know what I'm doing with you, I don't even know what I'm doing with you.
