All language subtitles for Nordin.S01E04.DUTCH.1080p.WEB.h264-SOLEM_t00

How do I look? Guys?

Donkeys.

Why did Hayat want me to join the meeting?

She's going to make me CEO, right?

She wanted a family meeting.
That includes you too, unfortunately.

You're adopted.

Quit it, you two.

-That's what Dad said.
-Family. I'm so happy to see you.

Brother, sharp.

Mom.

Thank you.

-Did you plan something?
-Nordin, take a seat.

Presentation, an F. I'm being honest.

If you were a student,
I would call your parents.

-Childish.
-So childish.

-Hey, Rob.
-Good evening, everyone.

The one from…
Are you from that article? Come here.

What did you say about my sister?

-I'm going to kill you!
-He's not going to kill you.

-What's going on?
-Calm down.

-Come here.
-Look at me.

It's fine.

I was expecting a civilized meeting.

It is, Rob.

Right? Okay. Guys.

Thank you for coming
and taking time out of your day for me.

Mom already knows.

I'm forming my own political party.

It's called "Generatie Sociaal."

You've got my vote.

You'll kill it. Number one.

Your own political party
with you at the center?

Not megalomaniacal at all.

I knew you would react this way.
That's why I asked you to come.

I don't know why you hate me
and my family so much.

-I don't hate you and your family.
-But I suggest you document this process.

Then, if you still have
a negative opinion of us,

you can write whatever you like.

But I want a fair chance.

If you think it through, it's murder,

and if you don't, it's manslaughter.
So just do that, it's much better.

Remember, if you stab someone,
you will get caught.

That was my presentation. Any questions?

Hello, any questions?
That was his presentation.

Any questions?

-Emma's presentation on her rabbit later.
-On climate change.

Same thing. Let's go.

I want to see more energy after the break.

-You're fighting someone?
-I'm training for amateur boxing.

-Not that I'm an amateur.
-All right, Badr.

Did you give my kids shrooms in gym class?

What? No. Why?

I would normally need to use violence
to keep them calm around this time.

-Now they look like their parents died.
-I told them Sports Day is coming.

-Sports Day is the best thing ever.
-That's what you think.

These kids get their ass kicked
every year by…

-What's that school's name?
-The Golden Compass.

The Golden Compass.

Our kids got zero eye-hand coordination,
no power, no technique.

Impossible.

Destiny tripped over her own feet
this morning. While sitting down.

-And that Golden…
-The Golden Compass.

-What about them?
-A school for sporting talents.

-What does that mean?
-Like an X-Men school for little athletes.

Don't tell me
you're scared of those types.

They enter the field with helmets on.

With shin guards. And Daddy pays the dues.

X-Men, my ass.

-We're going to win.
-Winning isn't everything.

Participation is what's important.

This is why we'll all
be speaking Chinese in ten years.

Everyone is good at something.

Our students are good at…

Something else.

Just watch this year.
See what happens this year.

That means it's already too late.

But if we want to try saving the world,
we will need to…

Actually, our parents will need to…

Enough. What did you think
of this presentation?

Is that what that was?

All right, Eileen.

This is the most boring presentation
I've ever heard.

It was simply painful.

-Who wants to hear this again?
-No!

-Who wants to earn some cash?
-Yes!

Whoever can prevent this from burning
gets those hundreds.

All right, stop. Back to your seats.

Here. Don't do it again.
Never give a presentation like that again.

This taught us
your asses can be bought for €100.

You'll give up your honor, pride
and principles for some cash.

But I won't do you dirty today.

We're going to use this to our advantage
on Sports Day.

-What are we doing?
-Getting their ass.

-What?
-Getting their ass.

Damn. Look at this.

Our headquarters, aka HQ, bruv.

Soldiers, listen carefully.

Keep your back straight and don't forget,
I paid for this out of my own pocket.

All right? Follow me.

-What?
-How?

-Come on. Live a little.
-What?

This is crazy.

Look, there's popcorn.

-Kids' champagne?
-That's haram. Give it to Wesley.

Cockroaches, who can tell me
what all this shit's for?

Because we're getting our ass beat
and you want to soften the blow.

Wrong, soldier. This shit serves
as a distraction for the opponent.

This is how we're going to win Sports Day.

"If you can't out-fight them,
outsmart them." That means

if you suck at sports,
bribe your opponent.

-Damn, sir. Just like that?
-Yes.

Today's mission is,

have the opponent rather be here
than sack-racing outside.

These are the kids we need to go after.

Lie, steal, cry, cheat,
because now is the time to be a man.

Be a man.

Shouldn't we do our best
and believe in ourselves?

What Soraya's doing here
is called sabotage.

But we don't pay her any attention,
just like her parents.

-Burn.
-Quiet.

Are we clear?

-What are we doing?
-Getting their ass.

-What?
-Getting their ass.

See him? The one stretching away?

He's a top player. Go distract him.

-Hell no.
-I'll do it.

I'll stay here. Go.

Hey, bro.

What kind of flowers
would Wesley like for his funeral?

Chrysanthemums are always nice.

Let's go over there.

Sorry, can you explain to me
what we're doing today?

We're going to my new office.

Business has taught me you're only as good
as the people on your team.

So we're going to talk to people
who are more experienced in politics.

Right. So…

You'll be the face of the party,
while the peasants do all the actual work.

Our family business is based
and built on collaboration

and recognizing expertise.

Generation Social will be no different.

Can I ask you something?

Yes.

Are you always like this?

Asking people with high ambitions
tough questions?

That's how I always am.
That's my job, you know?

Look…

I find it worrisome that people like you
use their platform irresponsibly.

-People like her?
-Yes.

Influencers.

It's nothing personal.
Don't take it like that.

But this does look a lot

like another girl from a rich family
coming up with a new idea

to get her through the day.
I mean, come on.

How seriously are you taking
this whole thing anyway?

Come on! Yes!

This place is totally awesome.

I thought De Ekster was a pauper school,

but this is ten times better
than our nasty lunch boxes.

This isn't free, you know.

-But it doesn't have to cost much.
-Just something small.

Sometimes it's give and take in life.

Sometimes you give more than you take.
Do you get me? You don't.

You just need to know he's crazy.

Listen. Hey.

You could have these fries
and ride that bull.

-Right?
-Yes.

You'll have to do something first.

My family is clearly financially well off.

But we weren't born with all that money.

My parents worked hard
for a better life than their parents had.

And you know, Rob?
I think we should be proud of that.

I'm not saying you can't do it.
I'm just questioning the sincerity.

Right…

But you never question
any other politician.

Okay, you got me.

What's this?

One of my family's ten food aid programs.

-Is this new?
-If you consider 15 years new.

Why does no one know about this?

Ask yourself that question.
Are you coming?

Guys. Hey. No running on the field.

-Enjoy.
-Thank you.

God darn it.

What? Oh…

-I'm looking for Mr. Nordin.
-Are you on the list?

-Don't be silly. We work together.
-That's what they all say.

-No list, no entrance.
-And they get to go in?

-They're on the list.
-What list?

-You giving me attitude?
-No, but…

You're not wearing sneakers either.
It's not happening tonight.

Come on. Beat it.

Could you maybe get Nordin then?

Can you send the boss to the front?
I've got a… code pink here.

Back up a little.

No. Yeah.

Yeah.

-Back up. Leave the line. That way.
-There is no line.

-Move.
-There's no line.

Back up. More.

A bit more.

-Forward.
-What?

And back again. Good.

Henk. My favorite mood killer.

-What can I do for you?
-Explain to me what this is.

It's against the rules to exclude people.

And what you're doing here is a disgrace.

I'm only teaching them
that when the system is against you

and every door closes,
you can still get in.

You're tarnishing our good name
with your weird antics.

Doesn't De Ekster love that? Weird antics.

Keeping the study advice low.
That's a weird antic.

Did you know you can get subsidies
if you do that?

Really?

And I thought my family's donations
were keeping this school afloat.

I'm not sure what you're saying,
but you're full of crap.

I would simmer down if I were you,
keep a very low profile.

You and Vera both. I'm watching you.

-Haven't you got anything better to do?
-Every minute. Every day.

When you get in the car,
I'm in the back seat. You hear me?

-When you buy bread, I'm the baker.
-Yeah. At ALDI.

When you go to the snack bar,
I'm the condiment, asshole.

-But is there something we can do?
-Unfortunately not.

Teaching your son is like…

A guinea pig on a tricycle.

It's funny, but he won't tell me
what's four multiplied by four.

Okay. But what about my daughter?
She was supposed to go here too--

-Well, we already saw it with…
-Fish.

Yes, fish. But can you spell it?

Excuse me.

God damn it.

Thank you.

What about my son?

There's municipal service for that.
I can give you a brochure.

Okay? Let's go.

Hello, everyone.

-Hello.
-Hi.

-Is that Sarah Masselink?
-Yes.

She's helping us
with our election program.

Sarah, I'm so glad you're here.

-You look great.
-Thank you.

It's an honor to be here.
You're doing something amazing.

All those opportunists
in the political landscape…

Thank you. We'll do our best.

This is Rob.
He's writing an article about our party.

Mrs. Masselink, it's an honor to meet you.

I can't say the same.

I remember how you demonized me
in that shitty little paper of yours.

After my second divorce.

That was something
I couldn't avoid as a journalist--

Come on, Rob. Why are you stuttering?
Some media bashing keeps us sharp.

So what do you think?

Isn't Generation Social a good addition
to the political landscape?

From what I've seen so far--

Rob doesn't think I use my platform well.
What did you say again?

A princess trying to get through the day?

Is that true?
Are you secretly a misogynist?

Take it easy, that's not how I meant it.

-I'm also curious to hear what you meant.
-Ladies, take it easy, please.

I'm a purebred
intersectional feminist, okay? Really.

Ask my mom.

We're going to the sky.
A very tall building.

Look at that filthy dog
scheming with the enemy.

I don't trust that guy one bit.

I'm going to hack him. He's sure to visit
the dark web when his wife is asleep.

-Those guys don't have wives.
-What about his school computer?

He probably is a pervert.
But you should stay away from the school.

Focus on this.

I've brainwashed those kids all the way.
They're completely bribed.

We're just waiting for your sign.

We're going to destroy them!

Destroy them!

Filthy water rats.

All right. Cross it.

Run, you rat!

Yes!

Bunch of cheaters.

Are you a sore loser, grandpa?

I don't know how you pulled it off,
but something's off.

You always come in last,
like you're supposed to.

You're mad because your hairline
wants to divorce your forehead.

It's always you people.

"Us people"?

Send those little accidents of yours
to "us people" for a year.

I'll teach them victory.

You won't be here next year, dimwit.

-Wait for your turn. Gremlin.
-It is my turn.

What did you say?

What's wrong, Soraya?

Aren't you celebrating with us?

I saw two idiots from the other school
lying on the ground, completely lost.

I laughed my ass off.

-Something wrong?
-I thought winning would feel good.

I only feel worse.

I don't want to win like this.

Life can be hard.
Be tough, or they'll walk all over you.

But it didn't help me improve.

I just bribed someone to slack off.

That's not really winning. It's cheating.

I'd rather be honest and lose.
At least I'll still have my honor.

Hey…

Isn't that
what you were trying to teach us?

I love you, Mr. Nordin.

My little brother
teaches at our old school.

Gee, Sports Day. Elementary school.

I lost so many times on that field.

I hated Sports Day.

I got destroyed
by the same opponent every year.

You want to claim losing shaped you?

Winning, losing…
It doesn't concern me anymore.

What's important
is the people we spoke to, these kids,

for them to feel seen and accepted.

That's what Generation Social
wants to fight for.

But if that's not exciting enough,
you can write whatever you want.

It doesn't hurt me anymore.

Sister, bruv. What are you doing here?

I want to show people
what a great teacher my brother is.

I've seen better days.

Nordin not being full of himself?
Are you okay? What's going on?

I did something I shouldn't have.

Now I'm afraid my cynicism
may have ruined those innocent souls.

Knowing Nordin, it probably did.

But there's always time
to teach something new.

I'm supposed to teach them,
but they're teaching me.

So?

Who says a teacher can't learn
from his students?

Sometimes, on extremely rare occasions,
you can be really smart.

Thanks.

-Good to see you, pupper.
-What did you say?

Your mom is waiting for me
in the parking lot.

And stay out of the sun,
before you turn pink.

That…

That was kind of sweet.

-Funny.
-No, I mean it.

I…

I think I was slightly wrong about you.

Really?

I can admit being right,
but also being wrong.

I think the country will be lucky
with a Kynani in parliament.

As long as it's you
and not that little brother of yours.

Thank you.

Sure. Congratulations
on your fake victory.

Nordin.

Vera? You're not afraid of grass?

What the hell were you thinking
teaching them

bribery, blackmail
and manipulation are normal practices?

They're learning from their principal.

Learned when young, done when old.

Very funny.
But you won't get away with this.

-I'm coming for you, young man.
-You're getting very close.

You should watch it.
I'd sleep with one eye open.

Cotton candy, you've earned it.

What a coincidence.

Amine, right?

Nice to meet you, I'm Vera.

Do we know each other?

Didn't you help me with my computer once?
Or was it something else?
