Every time the patient feels he's losing control,

he has to think of the first number between one and hundred which comes...

into his head.

Then, after a short interval,

he has to name another number...

lower than the previous one.

What would you say, Mr. President?

People really like you. You cannot

ask for anything more than that.

That's exactly why I'm concerned.

Our potential seems to be obscured.

From here I could only go down.

I need an explanation... Tell me why

every time I try to do something

for this country, some crocks

have to screw things up?

They are always holding you back

when you try to do something useful.

These people are

complete crocks.

What do you think you are doing?

Can't you see I'm busy?

- I'm going to leave.

- You're busy with yourself as usual.

I'm not one for hanging

around in your shadow.

Because I'm fighting for eternal dignity.

Please stop with this circus.

Think of how much

I spent on Vienna.

Yes, but I had a dinner

with the Habsburg. Right?

You have no idea how

important these contacts are.

You can't buy prestige cheaply.

You just can't.

"We are hungry.

We are hungry."

Look what I have to bear with!

Human emotions are similar to earthquakes...

and can be rated on a scale between one and hundred...

depending on their intensity.

Every time the number becomes smaller,

and so on...until it gets down to zero.

At that moment in time the emotion is completely under control,

and the patient has restored his psychological equilibrium.

I want Varadin to go there.

He can do it.

Varadin has to go to London.

It was Thursday.

Like any other...

The duty-free shop in the embassy

was opened from 10 to 12am, as usual...

For trusted customers only.

Despite the negative stories,

it was just a form of mutual assistance

in the spirit of best

corporate traditions.

The turnover of the duty-free

shop came to ?2,545

for the first six months of the year.

This would be mainly by selling

rakia, beer and cigarettes

from the diplomatic quota which

was rather hard to acquire.

In the meantime, Sir Dee Garber -

chairman of the National Defense Commission,

had found some disturbing

figures in the budget.

This led to a further four-year delay

of strategic European project

for a combat jet,

named "Eurofighter".

The deficit amount was... ?2,545.

This money wasn't

so big of an issue,

but the bad tendency that could

lead to undesirable consequences.

Counsellor Mavrodiev have also found

some serious loopholes in the budget

of his business establishment.

Piss off.

You have debts to pay off first.

- Come on, I'll pay you tomorrow.

- I'm really tired of actors.

But unlike the chairman of NDA,

the Counsellor had a very

clear idea of where that

deficit came from.

This led to a further four-month delay

in the purchase

of new vacuum cleaner.

I'm begging you, just one pack? I'm

shooting an advertisement on Tuesday.

We are fellow Bulgarians.

We need to help each other.

Yes, we are.

But only after you pay.

How much?

- "How much?"

Wait a minute. I'm not a calculator.

Calm down.

While the Counsellor was trying to

reduce the commercial deficit,

the small and committed team at

the embassy was enjoying

the last moments of the sheer anarchy

in the last few months.

The squabbles between the employees

were almost absent.

An untypical spirit of friendliness and

unity could be felt among people.

Everyone had their piece of happiness.

They also had one common trait -

There was no boss.

Do you know what I heard about

the new Embassador?

Well... president's wife was

soliciting for his appointment here.

Next, please.

Five packs of cigarettes, a box of

rakia and four packs of beer.

Are you guys preparing

for a deluge to come?

Just in case if the new Embassador

decides to close the duty-free.

We've been waiting for him

for six months.

What's the problem

with the duty-free?

Five of everything!

Is this the so-called

"duty-free"?

I don't want to scare you, but

I think the new one is coming today.

We just received a telegram.

Hello?

OK, I'll wake her up now.

Katya?

Hey, Katya?

Wake up!

Katya?

The secretary is looking for you

urgently. The Embassador has

arrived so they need

you to clean the cabinet.

Can you take my shift?

You're hanging around all night and then

you want me to do your job?!

It's in your area.

Come on, get up.

Every time the patient feels he's losing control,

he has to think of the first number bewteen one and hundred...

what comes into his head.

Then, after a short interval,

he has to name another number...lower than the previous one.

And so on until it gets down to zero.

At that moment, the emotion is completely under control.

Oh, you scared me.

I'm here to clean up.

You don't look like cleaner.

I'm a student.

Just helping here.

I think that even a month wouldn't

be enough to clean up this...

warehouse.

I clean wherever they say.

There hasn't been anyone here

for six months and..., by the way,

while we use this banger,

it would never be clean.

Pardon?

The vacuum cleaner is rubbish.

It's like thousand years old.

Well,...

Katya.

Katya...

Why don't you write a report?

Describe the problem and I'll

give my best to solve it.

You can go.

I don't want you to clean during

working hours or while I'm absent.

Embassador Dimitrov.

You are already at work?
