I'll take one of those.

Thank you.

No, that's fine.

The more the merrier.

Oh, thank you. I look

forward to meeting you, too.

James, seriously, can't you just

wait until the party starts?

Why? I skipped

breakfast this morning.

That really good

bagel place was closed.

At least they look like bagels.

I don't know what

they call him here in Europe.

Anyway, what are you freaking out about?

You're doing fine.

I need to be doing perfect.

We're negotiating for an exclusive

contract covering the entire country.

Yeah, but it's only a small country.

Think of it as Iowa.

- Iowa?

- Mm.

You're not helping me.

Listen, I've seen

quite a few people do this,

all right, badly.

But I've never

seen anyone quite as

over prepared

or as smart as you.

Really?

Are you just saying that?

Or as incapable

of taking any compliment.

OK, he'll be here any minute.

See you down there?

Don't worry. I'll be there.

All right. OK.

But they'll be here in a few minutes.

Can't you just fill it up again?

This is Gabrielle.

OK.

They're here.

Excuse me, could make sure there's

water in the meeting rooms, please?

- Absolutely.

- Thank you.

- Mr. Cho.

- How are you?

Ms. Devoigne.

Hope you had a pleasant trip.

I'm sure you'd like to freshen up before

the meeting. The others will be here soon.

We have a range of competitively priced

packages if budget is an option.

We could also look at laying down cables,

but this does mean an additional workforce.

The rural areas

are so mountainous

and the winters get so harsh

that laying copper

is just not feasible.

What we are looking for

is a cellular solution.

Of course. And Transglobal's

already at work to do just that

in Peru, Honduras, Chechnya, Senegal,

all with similar terrain issues.

I mean cellular really is

the best approach.

But all the mountains

mean more cell towers.

Otherwise, too much dead zone.

That's why we're looking for

an exclusive 15-year contract

if we're going to invest so

heavily in this infrastructure.

What you are talking

about is a monopoly.

A temporary exclusive contract.

It's in the best interest of both...

I'm sorry.

Some people have not figured out

that they can now vote

to express their opinions.

Ah, um, well, I'm sure the authorities

have it all under control.

If we could just

take our seats again.

We have a lot to get through

before this evening.

So, uh, where were we?

Oh, James, James.

This is James Henderson;

he's our, um, well... uh,

he does just about everything.

Officially, I'm a local liaison.

So what does a local liaison do?

Uh, well,

I come in ahead of time

to lay down the ground work

for negotiations like this.

And then I stay afterwards to

finalize any finishing touches.

- Uh-huh, a fixer.

- Exactly.

Oh, my God, it's her.

Oh, my God?

Did you just say, "Oh, my God?"

Yes. Yes, I did.

I said it and I'm owning it.

Groundbreaking political

visionaries are oh, my God-worthy.

These periods of transition to free

market democracy are extremely volatile.

We have seen what has happened in other

countries and we are doing our best

to learn from their

mistakes and their success.

Ah, she's hot.

We believe that the

people are hungry for change.

Jeez, will you

have some respect?

She spent six years in prisons

and still managed

to turn this place around.

Ignore him.

Scumbag like that's

the competition;

believe me,

you've won the contract.

Not only with our neighbors,

but also with

our partners around the world.

Speaking of scumbags,

you see him?

- Who is he?

- That's George Vorza.

Ex-KGB, used to run

the secret police.

He was General Lazar's

right hand man back in the day.

I thought they all

got locked up.

Oh, yeah, Lazar's still inside.

But a lot amnesty got thrown

around, you know, democracy.

Well, he looks like he's

on Tania's team now.

They have to earn

their place in society

rather than simply being

handed this on a plate.

They fear democracy...

It's all right, I'm her uncle.

- He's not my uncle.

- It's a figure of speech.

We've got an excellent product.

We don't have to do that.

Uh, yes, we do.

We're trying

to help this country

get away from

that kind of corruption.

You know, sometimes being naive

can come across

as self-righteousness.

Why don't you just leave it at

we're trying to make a buck.

And as a happy

side effect of that,

we can build their economy

and middle class.

Such an honor to meet you.

Thank you for standing up for

naive self-righteousness.

Don't mind, James.

He thinks that being cynical

is a sign of intelligence.

Is that right?

Uh... no.

But I do think that cynicism

is an inevitable

result of intelligence.

And age, actually.

I didn't realize

I was that young. Thank you.

She's sharp.

James, what's going on?

Surprised she lasted this long.

Looks like the

old guard are fighting back.

The army are taking over.

Come on, you gotta go.

OK, OK.

You don't have to be so rude.

What are we going to do?

You are gonna go

to Goober's room.

He's a pig.

Why can't I stay with you?

I've gotta

go to work. Come on. Let's go.

James, please.

Gabrielle!

Gabrielle, open the door.

Gabrielle!

Hurry up, open the door.

- Hold on a second.

- Come on. Open the door.

- James, one second.

- Come on, open it.

- James.

- Get dressed.

What's going on?

What are you doing?

That's my underwear.
