Maxima (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

Hello. We haven't met before.
"Hello. We haven't met before."
-My name is Els.
-"My name is Els."
-Nice to meet you.
-"Nice to meet you."
-I live in Zwolle.
-"I live in Zwolle."
My hobbies are hiking
and deep sea diving.
"My hobbies are hiking and sea
dive diving."
"I am most"
"I am most grateful to you."
"I am most grateful to you."
Okay.
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.
Enjoy your meal.
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.
Well, 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.
Fridge.
"Fridge"
DULCHE DE LECHE FOR MY COOKIE,
HOPEFULLY YOU FEEL HOME SOON
LOVE, A
I have just renounced
from the government.
I hereby introduce Beatrix,
your new Queen.
Compatriots.
Today we are all starting
a new phase for Argentina.
We know that these are
hard and difficult times.
But there is no doubt whatsoever
that we Argentinians
will start all over again.
-Turn off that sham.
-Dad.
Have you seen the Plaza de Mayo?
Come on, we should go!
Why?
To listen to that impostor Alfonsin?
-Me, mom, me.
-There you have it.
After seven long years
of military dictatorship, it is now up
to the new democratically elected
President, Alfonsin,
to come clean
and put an end to oppression
and allow justice to prevail.
The new Defense Minister
Finally,
we're going to school on our own.
Don't forget your lunch.
Why can't I just buy lunch
at the cafeteria like all my friends?
Because money
doesn't grow on trees, little one.
-Do you know what I cooked for you?
-Schnitzel.
-Bye, Tincho. Be careful, darling.
-Bye, mom.
Come on, guys, hurry, you're late.
Máxi.
Bye.
Come on, girl.
-What?
-They'll kill us if we're late again.
We'll be fine.
Did you study?
-Did you?
-Obviously.
Máxi.
-Máxi.
-Dad.
You'd forget your head,
if it weren't stuck.
And remember, today is
Tristana's first day at school.
I promised her father
you'd look after her.
-Sure.
-Okay?
-Have a nice day, ladies.
-You too, Jorge.
See you tonight, dad.
And no cigarettes for Tristana,
she's asthmatic.
Languages are easy for you, math for me.
Right, go on and prove it.
-No.
-Girl, brackets.
-Hey girls.
-Hey Sammy.
-How are you?
-Hi Sammy.
-How are you?
-Hi.
Tristana.
-Hi.
-Hello.
-I'm Máxima Zorreguieta.
-Right, hi!
-These are my friends. Vale, Flo, Sam.
-Hi.
-Will you join us?
-Yes, sure.
-How are you?
-Good.
Miss Maccio,
I see you've already made friends, good.
-Welcome, dear.
-Thank you.
Welcome, Máxima will show you around
and explain everything, okay?
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?
Yes, I would like to know
why we are discussing
the British colonies
at this moment.
I mean, we're the ones
writing history right now.
The election of the new president
is causing a landslide.
Out there.
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 you your ignorance.
As I was saying,
these so called conflicts
I'm sorry.
Hello.
Turn the television off.
I want to watch.
For Christ's sake, María, why?
-It will only upset you more.
-Hello!
It's just a bunch of lying crooks.
It's just an ordinary rabble-rousing.
I don't care, I want to know.
Turn it up. Jorge, please.
You stubborn woman.
On his first day, president Alfonsín
directly made clear
his political agenda.
He stated that the Junta criminals
will receive
the punishment they deserve.
He will personally appoint a committee
to investigate the disappearances
of thousands of our loved ones.
Perfect.
Then they'll see
half of them are back already.
Miss Zorreguieta.
Or may I call you Máxima?
May I offer you this
on behalf of the Dutch people, please?
No, thank you.
You must be very happy
with Willem Alexander, right?
I'm not allowed to say anything,
thank you.
You're going to be our new Queen.
There's quite some commotion
about your father, who
was a minister in Videla's regime.
Quite some murders
were committed back then, huh?
Do you want to distance
yourself from your father's past?
Thank you.
If you hold this,
I'll help you with your bags.
-No, no.
-You don't want the flowers?
We think that is very unfriendly.
Thank you.
-That's it, then.
-Thank you.
I have to go to my work.
Good luck to you.
You're a beautiful woman, though.
So, that concludes
The Week of Willibrord.
Mr. 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.
I can't take your hand.
You've worked against me my whole life.
Or cooperated.
-Or cooperated?
-"Cooperated"?
-Cooperated.
-"Cooperated."
"Cooperated."
It won an Oscar for best foreign film.
Fedja van Huêt,
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'll have to do better than that.
-Okay, okay.
"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.
-Okay, 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."
-Yeah.
When Harry Met Sally.
Meg Ryan was phenomenal in that movie.
-"Phenomenal?"
-Phenomenal.
As in phenomenal?
Okay.
-Wait for it.
-Yeah.
"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."
Dirty Dancing.
Patrick Swayze, loved it.
-"What's in the box?"
-Seven.
"You had me at"
-"Hello."
-"Hello."
Jerry Maguire.
"Show me the money."
I paid very close attention.
Evidently.
You're making leaps in progress.
My Dutchstroopwafel.
Those are tasty.
-"Tasty."
-"Tasty."
Very tasty, I know.
How do you do the "aul"?
-The "ui", you mean?
-"Ui."
-"Ui."
-"Ui."
So, you do it too far
in the back of your mouth,
do it more in the front like "ui."
-"Ui."
-"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.
-Hello, Máxi.
-Hi.
How is everything going in Brussels?
I spend 24 hours a day
submerged in books.
That's what you're good at.
How are things there?
Your mom has a new hobby, gardening.
The house is full of pots and plants.
We had to do something,
now that everyone has left the house.
-Is the press still bothering you?
-It's not too bad.
If I'd known
they'd be so interested in me,
I would have gone to Pablo
for a new haircut.
We won't let what they say get to us.
Right?
No.
Your mom has been asking all day
if Alex and you will come
to Las Escobas for Christmas.
Yes, we're looking forward to it.
So are we.
Sweetie
-Tell me something in Dutch?
-No
Come on, tell me something. Lie to me.
I miss you.
"I miss you."
"I miss you."
I'm so proud of you.
Well, we all are.
I miss you, Dad.
-Is she here already?
-Yes.
Loli?
-Your boots.
-Where is she?
Your boots, honey.
Hi.
How are you?
Did it hurt?
A little.
Your mom let you?
She never said anything.
My mother would never let me.
Máxi!
It's your body, your life.
No one has a say about that.
Well, your mom is different.
-And?
-I preferred your previous work.
At the Fine Arts Academy,
we learn to make real art.
Art with a message.
So, what's the message?
What do you think?
Personally
It gives me the creeps.
Hey!
Life isn't all fun.
Next up is Barbara. The "K".
Koala. K-O-A-L-A.
Cooking. C-O-O-K-I-N-G.
Clamp. C-L-A-M-P.
Willem Alexander is not allowed
to marry Máxima,
and if he does,
he'll have to abdicate the throne,
according to Mr. Maurik,
former ambassador
of The Netherlands to UNESCO.
Why do you think that?
If this was a marriage
between two ordinary people,
I wouldn't have any issues with that,
that would be up to them.
But now, we'll end up with a Queen
whose father is complicit
in mass murders,
mass rape, mass torture.
He cannot have been unaware
of the crimes of the Videla regime.
In fact, there is evidence that shows
that he was not merely a complicit,
but a propagandist of the regime.
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?
Yes, I'm coming. 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!
Stop all this, Dolores.
No, why can't I ask questions?
Questions? You're not asking questions.
-You're accusing me
-But I
and talking about things
you know nothing of.
I'm not making this up,
it's in the report.
Here it is, read it!
Jorge! My God.
The kids are inside.
Read it?
Who are you to talk to me like that?
You never want to listen.
No, you repeat everything
that your leftist mother says.
You son of a bitch!
-Guys, just play truco.
-What's up?
-Leave my house.
-Nothing, that's your father's business.
Dolores is leaving, mom.
Nobody disrespects me in my house!
Alright, bye!
Martín, let's play truco, please.
Loli!
Why are you going?
I love you, but I can't anymore.
What happened?
-Lola, why do you have to leave?
-Ask him.
THE SHOCKING NEVER AGAIN REPOR
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.
-Bye-bye.
-Thank you.
You have a bad influence
on my eating habits.
I'm so embarrassed.
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.
Beautiful.
Who is that?
My husband.
For 25 years.
Twenty-five 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.
Finally! Where were you, guys?
Who is that?
No idea.
Who is that?
Tiziano Iachetti, one of James' friends.
-Come on.
-Come, let's dance.
Sure you're having another one?
Just saying,
there has to be enough for everyone.
I hate Cynthia.
-They say her parents bought her exams.
-Really?
-Yes.
-Hey, girls.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-How are you doing? All good?
-Good. You?
Girls, meet Tiziano.
Tiziano, these are
Vale, Tris, Máx and Flo.
My sister's friends.
I call them the archbishops.
-I'm the president.
-And I'm vice-president.
Great.
-Have fun.
-Thanks.
Bye.
He's attractive, right?
Let's dance?
-Máxima, do you know what time it is?
-I'm sorry.
What are you wearing?
Just leave me alone, mom.
-I was worried about you.
-I'm fine.
Where are your braces?
-You lost your braces again, you idiot?
-Mom!
I can take care of myself.
As long as you keep losing your braces,
you'll listen to me.
It's my life.
They're my teeth and it's my body!
Go to hell.
Fucking go to hell!
Sam, your turn.
-Pedro.
-Yes, Pedro.
Everything he said, all that flirting
Bye Pedro.
-I'm over you.
-What an idiot.
Bye, Pedro.
As for me, I'll leave my doubts behind.
All my dark thoughts.
I'll start with a clean slate.
London, here I come.
Go.
For me, it's the hockey field, girls.
I'll never again force myself to train,
to score goals, it's over, bye.
Well done.
-I can't think of anything to say.
-Come on.
I don't know what to say.
Sometimes, I feel like
I have to leave, too.
Like something is out there,
waiting for me.
But I don't know what.
I have no idea.
I don't want things to change.
I want us to stay here.
Together.
Forever.
The archbishops will always be together.
-Yes.
-No matter where we are,
we'll always be together.
Wherever we are.
-Oh, girls.
-Cheer up.
Have some more.
-Alright!
-Oh.
Fox and Hare are in Owl's nest.
Owl has an egg.
Whose egg is it?
Owl doesn't know and Fox doesn't know.
Hey, princess.
-Hey.
-Tell me, how's life in Brussels?
You first.
Well, Christmas vacations are coming up
so it's crazy here on the slopes,
and I'm teaching children too now,
so it's hell on earth.
What's up, Máx?
I don't know
if I can stand it here much longer.
I wake up alone, I go to work,
I come home, study like an idiot
and then fall asleep. Alone.
I live the life of a nun.
Listen, I've been listening to you
nagging about Europe for years,
how much you wanted to go there.
And now you're there, what's happening?
You have to, to enjoy it, girl.
You know what you should do?
Turn it into something fun.
Go out, have a good time, go into town,
buy something nice and sexy
for when your prince comes.
I'm serious, Máx, you deserve it.
-Sweetie, I need to go, I love you, bye.
-Bye.
Miss Zorreguieta.
-Thank you.
-One question, please.
I'm enjoying my time in Brussels.
Have a nice day.
Any comments on the rumors
about the Prince and Emily Bremers?
WILLEM ALEXANDER SPOTTED
INTIMATELY WITH EX, EMILY!
I'm not available right now.
Please leave a message.
You son of a bitch.
Hello, yes, this is Máxima Zorreguieta,
I would like to reschedule
a flight to Buenos Aires.
Yes, as soon as possible.
Yes, I'll wait.
Good afternoon.
You can come in, but I'm leaving.
-What?
-I'm done.
I'm done with the press, with Brussels,
with Alex, with 'Olden-Vanbarnevelt'.
You said that I was about to make
one of the most important
decisions of my life.
I just did.
Thank you.
For everything.
Oh, and would you be so kind
and call me a cab?
Thank you.
Fuck.
Surprise!
It's a surprise.
I thought I'd come a day early.
What are you? What is it?
I'm going home, that's what.
Don't even think
of coming for Christmas.
Go to hell.
I'm sorry, Máx,
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.
Okay.
Fuck.
Listen, she just came
to pick up some stuff, okay?
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?
Okay, 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.
-Okay.
And don't even think about following me!
