Netflix series Treason: Question about Maddy (spoiler)

Submitted by admiralteee t3_zxv0ql in television

Hi, This wasn't a good series but I do have one unanswered question: why did Maddy yell "floor it, floor it" in Russian to Kara when both of them were taking out the MI6 hit man?

Where is it mentioned that she speaks Russian? I thought this was one more senseless reveal or twist but no. It never comes up in conversation.

Was it not Spanish?

Oh... It might have been.

I know it was definitely subtitled.

Why would it be Spanish? I know she mentioned that she has family in Spain... does she at any other point in the series chat in Spanish?

Kara asks if she is Portuguese, Maddy says she is Spanish, Kara says something to her in Spanish at that moment showing they both understand and can speak Spanish. So Maddy tells her to floor it in Spanish because she knows knows Kara would understand her.

Ahh ok, I missed that.

Although, Kara speaks English perfectly so does Maddy, so it's odd that they'd revert to using Spanish for that one moment :)

It's so the assassin would not understand what was about to happen. The odds of the assassin speaking Spanish and being able to correlate the sudden shouting in a foreign language with the meaning behind the words is slim. This gives the ladies' improvised plan a chance to succeed.
