Ambassadors (2013)
S01E02 The Prince's Trousers
Episode Overview
The embassy is buzzing with the arrival of the bothersome minor royal and trade envoy, Prince Mark of Bath, who is there to secure a license for Anglo-Brit oil. Obsessed with his appearance, he insists on carrying an ironing board to keep his trousers perfectly pressed and proves to be a challenging guest, even requesting sexual threesomes. Meanwhile, Neil is hiding Amil Zarifi, a political dissident who has escaped from prison, with Jennifer's blessing. When the secret police discover the misinformation Neil provided and learn about Zarifi's presence, they demand his handover to protect the oil deal. However, Zarifi unexpectedly connects with Mark over drinks, sharing shocking tales about the Tazbekistan regime. This encounter inspires Mark to deliver a powerful speech to the president, ultimately securing both the oil contract and Zarifi's release.
