Russian subtitles: Marya Loginova vk.com/scandiscope

You will probably be elected prime minister.

How do you know?

You see, I know everything.

If you don't disgrace yourself completely,

then you will soon become the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Swedes.

What will happen to Rasmus and Klara? Who will take care of them?

Everything will be alright!

How?

I am doing important things.

What is the most important thing in life?

You are so boring! Enough!

Family or career?

She was exhausted and tired.

And now is the right time to leave.

No mistakes can be allowed.

We will do everything.

Do you know him?

We met several times.

They say he has a thing for young women.

You designed everything in our business project.

Then I'm finished, David...

What will your wife say if she finds out?

Why are you and I drinking champagne here?

I'm not worried about my wife right now.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

Is this it?

Berlin, 2 years ago.

Therefore, I am of the following opinion,

that economic stability in the region...

can only be achieved if

if the West takes on economic responsibility.

I'm not just talking about economic and humanitarian aid.

Targeted investment is also required here ...

into stable relationships with local entrepreneurs.

This is the only thing that can work in the long term.

Thank you very much. Thank you!

To you and to you.

Good luck with your project. Okay, bye!

I wanted to thank you for your report.

I am shocked by the Minister of Economy’s story about Africa and how

how he can focus on opportunities.

It really feels that way.

Thank you very much!

Lena Nilsdotter,

Junior Consultant at Octavia,

I specialize in international relations.

Octavia worked on Barack Obama's campaign.

"Yes, we can" — "Yes, we can".

Other agencies were also involved.

Will you go there?

Yes, I need to go that way.

Do you mind if I stay with you a little longer?

Of course not.

I heard you'll be needing a new press secretary soon.

Yes? Where did you hear that?

Your current press secretary is Carl Björkman.

This is my friend's husband from university.

He said that he does not want to give up the vacancy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I think I would be perfect for the role of your press secretary.

I am more than competent in this area.

I graduated with a degree in political science in Stockholm...

and received a master's degree...

in public relations from Harvard.

I think you can change the world.

But I think you'll also need help in developing strategies.

You'll definitely need someone who isn't stuck in politics,

who thinks much broader and on a larger scale.

Can I ask you,

What are you doing in Berlin now?

I have one non-profit project on the side.

I still have a meeting in Kreuzberg, so I have to say goodbye.

It was nice meeting you. Hope to see you later.

Who knows? Maybe we'll see each other!

I think you could be the next Swedish prime minister,

and I would do everything possible for this.

"Lena Nilsdotter".

Wednesday, July 4. 04:17.

Hi, Lena, it's me. Come here immediately.

Right now. Please come here.

This is very important! Okay, thank you!

Hey! Do you hear? Hey!

Hey.

Great, come in.

And then she suddenly showed up here, we started kissing...

And she had this with her.

And where did you stick it?

In the leg, on the outer side of the thigh over there.

She suddenly began to shake wildly and gasp for breath.

When I turned on the light, I saw that she had... Well...

Hey! Can you hear me?

Hey! Can you hear me?

What is her name?

I don't know.

How come you don't know?

Well, that's it. I don't know.

Hey! Can you hear me? How are you?

I'm tired.

I ate peanuts before this.

It's probably because of him.

My father was allergic to nuts. I gave him a bunch of injections.

She'll be fine,

but she needs to see a doctor.

You should take a quick shower.

Breakfast begins in an hour and 35 minutes.

You need to meet Björn Lundqvist...

and Marie Schönbeck,

to discuss the seminar...

in sparsely populated areas.

Everything will be fine. Everything will be fine.

Everything will work out. Everything will be fine.

I feel sick.

And all of us too.

I'm going to throw up.

Please wait a little bit.

No, I don't think so.

Not even in an online publication? "Party Minister"?

He has a family.

We won't write that he sleeps with everyone.

He just hangs out a little.

And people will draw their own conclusions.

Yusefina, come here for a minute.

Our priority today is David Erling before Elvira's conference.

Who is he, what does he do at work and in his personal life?

You have an interview with him today, right?

Create a classic profile.

What school did he attend?

where they go on vacation.

What kind of pizza does he like and so on.

So that everything is nice and decent.

And then you can slowly start digging...

their relationship with Hansen.

How well they know each other,

Why do they hang out together?

I'd like to tackle Hansen myself. I've already found something.

If you don't mind.

Of course not.

Yes, yes... But can you handle it?

Well, of course!

Fine.

Then we agreed.

Dan, I was thinking about the video you showed yesterday.

Are we going to do nothing about this at all ?

Listen, let's go talk, okay?

Isn't that right, David?

David!

A?

Are you still awake?

Bjorn wonders,

does this conference mean...

exactly what we think?

Well, I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet.

There are many things you can say about Elvira, but she is definitely not boring.

She also gives Ann-Louis some pointed looks.

Anne-Louise Hegel?

Haven't you heard?

Actually, no, I haven't heard of it.

Elvira Kropp invites you to a dance battle.

And our Minister of Ecology is not one of those,

Who would refuse such an offer?

Mikael Backström and our crew thank you for this trip.

and is waiting for you again.

How is she feeling? This...

Vanya?

She's fine.

A little shocked, but nothing to worry about.

I took care of everything.

Fine...

Look... It's not what you think.

You can tell Simon this on the Flashpolitics website.

Damn, what the hell... "Minister of Parties".

What an idiot!

Do you understand what could have happened if someone saw her at the hotel?

What a disaster that would be!

Yes, I understand.

And the worst thing is,

that I didn't know a damn thing about it!

If you want me to help you, I must know everything.

It happened in the middle of the night.

AND?

Should I have called you in the middle of the night...

and report that I'm sitting here with a chick,

who licks my ears and says,

What can I do with her, whatever I want?

And then she suddenly showed up at my hotel and started pestering me.

Was it exactly like that?

Yes, exactly as I tell it.

Okay.

From this moment on, there should be no secrets between us .

This concerns you too.

Yes, me too.

So that's what we agreed on.

So you didn't sleep with her?

No, I didn't sleep.

And you didn't have such an intention?

What's the difference?

The difference is very big!

I need to know who I'm working for!

No, I didn't sleep with her.

Okay, then let's not talk about it.

It would be nice if you could persuade Ingrid to come to the press conference.

A sort of crown prince and his beautiful wife. A happy family, and all that.

Anyway, give it a try.

Yes, of course, I'll try.

But I don't promise anything.

Have you heard that Ann-Louise Högel will also be running for prime minister?

This explains why Elvira's press secretary wants,

so that you could have dinner with her.

Had dinner with Hegel?

Yes, she said that the Prime Minister wants it.

They want to look at the two of you.

Does she have any chance?

Against you? I doubt it.

But she can be very stubborn.

Yes, quite.

Well, thank you, I know.

After that, you have a panel discussion about 5G networks.

Then a seminar about FTP,

I don't even remember what it will be about.

Then you have a break,

and then another interview with Yusefine Sparre.

Sparre?

Yes.

Does she work at Kvellspressen?

Do you know her?

Yes, I crossed paths with her somehow.

And for how long?

I didn't sleep with her.

And then? What happens then?

DJ battle? What the hell is that?

It will be this evening in Kallis.

You will go with Hegel.

Is this necessary?

I still need to have time to write my speech.

Good morning.

So... Did you talk to David?

No, he was very busy.

How does he manage to clean up all this crap? I'd go crazy by now!

He always had a strong motivation.

Did he talk about how he trained himself to hold his breath underwater?

No.

Didn't tell you?

He was given a Guinness Book of Records for his birthday .

He read about some guy,

who could hold his breath underwater for 14 minutes.

He wanted to get around him and trained constantly.

After a year, he could already hold his breath for 4-5 minutes.

And when it was time to dive,

He immediately dived and grabbed onto something at the bottom.

He spent a long time under water.

And he hoped that the guy on the shore would become worried and save him.

And what happened?

Nothing. The guy didn't notice anything.

He completely forgot that David was there, so he just left.

It could have all ended very badly.

But he still surfaced.

As always.

As always.

So now he has the same courage as then.

And what do you mean by this?

That he just wants to be noticed.

How can I help you?

I need Eric Hansen.

Did you arrange a meeting with him?

No, but he himself would probably like to talk to me.

I am a journalist. My name is Yusefine Sparre.

I'm sorry I'm not getting up.

Yusefine Sparre.

Yes, exactly.

I read your report on the insurance field.

Interesting.

Thank you.

And now you've sold out to Kvellspressen.

I have a different opinion on this matter.

I hope you get paid decently.

You're ruining your brilliant career. And what are you writing about?

About David Erling.

Well, of course, David Erling. The golden boy.

No thanks.

Would you like to sit down?

Do you know what this is?

No.

I have a pacemaker there.

My wife died a year and a half ago. We had been together for almost 40 years.

When she was gone, I thought I would follow her.

That would have happened,

if it weren't for this pacemaker.

He continues to work,

whether I want it or not. Knock-knock-knock-knock!

Thank you.

As far as I understand, you and David have known each other for a very long time.

Yes, you could say that. Since his birth.

Are you also close friends with his dad?

Henning was my lawyer for a long time.

Although he is still a lawyer, and I turn to him,

If I need help.

But David also worked with you?

Yes, we had some projects.

But that was before,

How he got into politics.

Business development, various corporate structures and agreements.

And also the purchase of the port of Slite?

And this too, for example.

I ran through this project.

This is, to put it mildly, a very unusual idea.

How would you comment on this?

Unusual?

At first the Russians wanted to buy this port,

but the government did not allow them to do this.

You have created a new corporation with a Russian oligarch at the helm.

But in the documents he is listed as Swedish, so that the deal can be successful.

Are you planning to hand over this port to Russia?

so that the Russians could use it for...

Mrs. Sparre!

You can just call me Yusefin.

What do you need?

You wanted to talk about David Erling.

That's what I'm talking about.

After all, he is the one who is mostly involved in this project?

I highly doubt it.

that he only supervised the construction...

in this whole business project.

But there was nothing illegal there.

It depends on how you look at it.

There were enough moments,

that can make noise,

if someone suddenly wants to write about this in the media now.

And then all these events happened in Ukraine,

sanctions were imposed against Russia,

which consequently put your affairs on hold.

I dare say that everyone hopes that David will become the new Prime Minister,

so that he could help...

Well, that's enough!

So that he could help ease the sanctions...

and so that you can continue your project.

That's enough! Get out of my house!

Sergey! Get out of here!

So you can't comment on this?

Get out of here, I said! Quickly!

Let me go, I'm leaving!

Hello. I'm Yusefin.

Sorry I'm a little late.

You have a few minutes.

Yes.

Hello. Yusefine Sparre.

David Erling. Nice to meet you.

Would you like something to drink?

Some water, thank you.

Now, I'll just get the things.

Erik Hansen: "Beware of Sparre, she knows everything."

So...

So.

They say that Elvira Kropp will soon announce her resignation.

I don't know anything about this.

She sees you as her successor.

I don't know anything about it,

but even if it were so,

I wouldn't be able to discuss it.

So you would like to become prime minister?

If such an offer is received,

then I can make a decision later.

Now I am focused on my current tasks.

Here and now.

So you trade without thinking about the consequences?

I would like to talk about you not only as a politician...

Everyone knows that you are married.

Yes, I have been married to Ingrid for 10 years.

Do you have a happy marriage?

Of course.

What does she say about all this gossip about you?

What gossip are we talking about?

That you love young beautiful girls.

You are sitting at a bar and drinking expensive aged champagne.

You were at the Guteschelaren last night, were n't you?

with Eric Hansen.

Eric Hansen is an old friend of my family.

Since I am the Minister of Economy,

We meet periodically...

and discuss the state of affairs in the Swedish economy.

I also meet with other business leaders.

Yesterday you were sitting with young girls at a bar.

Are these also business leaders?

I don't know. I don't know them personally.

Sorry, I thought you were going to profile him.

Ask him about his hobbies, his favorite pizza...

I just haven't gotten to that point yet.

It would be nice if you could get there.

Otherwise your time is already running out.

Okay...

So what's your favorite pizza?

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you for meeting.

I have a feeling she knows more than she wanted to say.

If she has already communicated with this Vanya, then we have big problems.

When is dinner with Anne-Louis?

Let's see...

Damn! He's already here in 35 minutes,

and you can't miss it!

I will do everything.

How?

Go straight to the hotel and change. We'll meet at the restaurant.

And don't forget to call Ingrid.

I won't forget. See you there.

Who is this?

This is... dad.

And you won't answer?

I will answer.

Yes?

Hello!

How are you?

Everything's fine. And you?

Not too calm, but...

Don't forget to breathe.

What are you talking about?

No, nothing.

Clara, please turn it down.

What are you calling about? I have things to do.

No, I just wanted...

Well, or yes, in general...

There will be a press conference with Elvira tomorrow.

And Lena asks,

Could you come here?

Lena is asking?

Yes. Me too, of course.

I see. Well, I don't know. Why?

This will mean a lot.

For whom?

For me. For us.

For you and Lena?

Please stop!

Or to show at a press conference,

that we are still together?

I would think the same way,

If I were your press secretary.

Maybe that's the point,

but I asked a simple question.

And who will take Clara to the racetrack?

I don't fucking know!

Ask your mom, for example.

What, excuse me? Ayu?

Yeah, well, or ask... What's her name? Nelly.

She can travel with a bunch of children, it’s not difficult for her.

We'll just take some pictures,

Let's answer questions. Let's smile.

It's literally for a couple of hours.

Yes, sure.

Thank you.

If it's that important to you, then of course...

"Spike, I really need your help."

Are you writing something now?

I'm still waiting for a good idea.

I was hoping something big would happen here.

Something will come to my mind, but...

No...

It's too noisy here, too many people. And negative energy, you know?

Understand.

It seems that King Philip is coming.

King Philip?

Let's go here.

Look.

Do you understand what I mean?

You can't even let your parents decide,

what will you do in life.

Yes, hello!

Mother!

A?

I need to go to Visby,

There might be some work for me there.

What other job?

I don't know for sure yet.

But maybe they'll throw something in.

And how much?

But don't tell dad anything.

Of course not.

What the hell!

Well?

Shall we get some snacks?

No, I beg you!

I don't want to sit here any longer than I have to.

I'll take pike perch.

And I - lamb.

It would be appropriate to say this with a smile, as if it were something funny.

But you can also say this with the utmost seriousness,

as if it were something smart.

Yes...

Almedalen is becoming more and more like a theatrical performance.

Politics has always been, to some extent, a theatrical performance.

No, David. At least not for me.

Isn't it?

This is where we perhaps differ.

For me, politics is a tool for change.

And for me?

Do you know how many years I've been in politics?

Fourty!

I became the chairperson of the youth association at the age of 14,

and entered parliament at 26.

I didn't mean to imply that you don't have a huge track record.

I haven't known you for long,

but there are other similar people in politics.

You all come out of nowhere.

So fresh, so clean, with an unblemished reputation.

You quickly rise to the very top of fame,

You fly for a little bit and then disappear.

You can't cope. You give up quickly.

You have to spend your whole life in politics,

to understand that in this area you always need to find a compromise.

This is art!

So you would be a better prime minister than me,

just because you know how to find a compromise?

This is not the only reason.

What other ones are there?

Let's have a drink.

Yeah, go ahead.

There will be a press conference tomorrow.

We will be under enormous pressure.

We will be pitted against each other.

And say unpleasant things.

Not only in the media, but also in narrow circles.

Yeah, thank you. I can see that already.

But you have to know one thing, David. I like you.

No, really!

I want to make you an offer.

Let's try to be respectful...

in relation to each other...

over the next few weeks.

Let's not do bad things to each other or do dirty tricks.

Let's play fair.

May the best one win.

Yes. May the best one win.

How much!

How much!

Are you leaving?

I'll just go for a walk.

And me?

Grandma and grandpa are at home.

But they are already asleep.

Then go to Rasmus and take his iPad.

And I'll come see you when I get back. Okay?

Won't you come with us?

I'm not finished yet.

I see you're taking this seriously.

Just doing my job.

Your job also includes going with us to Kallis.

All the reporters will be there.

At a DJ battle?

No need to show off.

This is "Kvellspressen", an evening newspaper, not an economic bulletin.

I will try to finish the article.

We have a table there in the VIP box.

So promise me you'll come.

I promise.

Great!

Well, here we go! Are you ready?

Yes, sure!

Wait, I'll take two glasses of wine.

We don't want,

so that we would be accused of bribery.

Wow! Anne-Louis.

I can't help myself.

Everything must be done properly.

Of course.

Hello.

Is this Yusefine Sparre?

Yes.

Who are you?

Doesn't matter.

Okay. What do you need?

I have something interesting.

Is it true?

This concerns David Erling.

Wait.

Hello!

Please repeat.

Now.

David Erling. Video with two Moscow prostitutes.

Can I see him?

Of course you can.

Excellent! When and how?

Whenever you want. In an hour.

You can just...

Can you give me your number so I can call?

No no.

Can you call in 20 minutes?

Yeah, sounds good.

Okay.

Fine.

This is Dan Silen from "Quellspressen." Leave your...

Hello. Dan Silen was recording me. This is Yusefine Sparre.

Yes, that's true.

Thank you.
