00:00 Happy Victory Day, Madam President.

00:02 Happy Victory Day, Madam President.

00:04 Let's get on with it, please, yes?

00:06 These need to be briefed for these briefings.

00:10 Oh, ravishing.

00:12 That, I mean, the flowers are...

00:14 ravishing.

00:16 The Regime is a show about leader of a small, central European country.

00:23 And she is a very complicated, authoritarian-leaning figure.

00:27 Do remember, these are real Westgate people.

00:30 Why does everyone keep saying that? Do you think I'm going to take a shit on the podium?

00:34 Elena Vernon wants to create change.

00:37 She doesn't always know exactly what to do other than to get people to love her.

00:41 And she absolutely is delusional and believes that they really do love her.

00:46 Who the fuck are all these people?

00:48 I took the liberty of inviting our people from the countryside.

00:51 She plays a monster, a dictator in maybe all but names.

00:55 But who also has many anxieties and is insecure like the rest of us.

01:00 Madam Chancellor, Corporal Zubek.

01:04 Zubek comes into her life because she has a system within the palace of employing a protector.

01:10 You're here because you are nobody, do you understand?

01:13 And that means I can trust you.

01:15 Well, he's really a peasant. And he's from a poor, working-class part of the country.

01:19 He's in the process of transformation.

01:21 And he's discovering the world of power and how it works.

01:25 It's good to have a dash of rural flavor in her stew.

01:29 As a garnish, if nothing else.

01:31 Elena and Zubek, they're kindred spirits in some way.

01:36 However dysfunctional their relationship is,

01:38 I think it's probably one of the only places he truly felt safe and motivated to live with a purpose.

01:44 I'd like to see her.

01:45 Is she expecting him?

01:47 I'm her husband.

01:49 Is she expecting him?

01:51 It was completely original, very funny.

01:56 And it had this fascinating, bizarro woman at the center.

02:00 Let me do my work and be grateful.

02:03 Okay?

02:04 Okay.

02:05 Sorry.

02:06 Kate and Matthias brought to it a true love story.

02:09 It's incredibly moving to see that there is a real connection between these two people.

02:14 You heard me, didn't you?

02:16 Yes.

02:17 In your head.

02:18 I did.

02:19 What we started to do was try and understand how we could build this world that felt so fascistic and threatening,

02:26 but also have the kind of femininity that it required.

02:29 I said, "Let's go to Vienna. It seems to have a lot of palaces."

02:32 It was very important to have that level of extraordinary opulence.

02:38 It has brilliant humor and profoundly silly comedy that made me laugh a lot.

02:43 Love this Kingfisher blue. I'll try not to get blood on it.

02:46 But equally moments of terror and moments that are very emotional.

02:49 It is time to show America and the world precisely what we are worth.

02:55 The show is impossible to imagine without Kate and her presence.

02:59 We hope that people with some entertainment and perhaps some terror are transported into that world.

03:05 You cannot put your finger on exactly who she is, and you certainly don't know what she's going to do next.

03:10 What happens now?
