00:00Dakota, I waited on you like a princess, but you had so many secrets.
00:06Oh, Jonathan.
00:08I was wrong. You chose the throne over your first love.
00:11You rewrote protocol for her.
00:14Does she know you'll have to give up the throne?
00:16Father, she loves me for who I am.
00:18Hope she's worth it.
00:20Adrian! What is wrong with you?
00:23Adrian, at last.
00:25Heavy is the head that wears the crown, a lesson you will now learn.
00:30Will you restore the people's fate?
00:34Dakota, do you love me?
00:40Happy anniversary, Dakota.
00:43Five years of loving you.
00:45Three years of calling you my wife.
00:50I waited on you like a princess.
00:52Oh, Johnny.
01:01I made sure you ate right.
01:03I helped stabilize your blood sugar.
01:06But that's okay.
01:08Jonathan can do that now.
01:10I always dreamed of having children with you.
01:15But you never wanted children with me.
01:20Today, our special day.
01:22I'll finally give you what you've always wanted.
01:25Read them.
01:28Even after I turn our past to smoke,
01:31I'm still watching the door for you.
01:33Muscle memory, I suppose.
01:35But to rewire my heart,
01:37that might take a lifetime.
01:39Dakota, where have you been?
01:41You missed our anniversary.
01:45Yeah, Johnny, I just got home.
01:49Thanks for your jacket.
01:50So, we're still on for Switzerland?
01:52Just us two?
01:53I miss you.
01:55Okay.
01:57I've dreamed of your filthy little tongue
01:59playing with my...
02:02What the hell is wrong with you?
02:04Pick that up.
02:06Pick that up.
02:07Since when do you wear my cousin's clothes?
02:09Oh, for Christ's sake.
02:10We were at his castle.
02:11I spilled wine, I showered, and I took this.
02:13What is that?
02:14It's cashmere.
02:15Happy?
02:16You're drinking this late at his castle?
02:19That's not even...
02:20Are you jealous?
02:21God, Adrian.
02:22His place is better than this dump.
02:24Dinner's on the table.
02:25Hot baths upstairs.
02:27Chill, Daddy.
02:29I was having fun, okay?
02:33Maybe you could lecture me if you were king.
02:37But you're just a stay-at-home husband.
02:40Useless.
02:41Unlike Jonathan.
02:45Dakota.
02:48If I hadn't agreed to marry you five years ago,
02:50I wouldn't have given up my right to the throne.
02:52I'd probably be king by now.
03:01Morning, Jonathan.
03:04She's speaking a language I never learned.
03:07Soon, both of us will be free.
03:11Oh, you're right.
03:12Denmark is better.
03:14Denmark.
03:14Our honeymoon.
03:16She always wanted to go there with someone else.
03:20Cycling around Copenhagen,
03:21spending time with the prince,
03:23and lots of drinking.
03:27Where is my breakfast?
03:30Hey, I'm hungry.
03:32Can you not look so bloody miserable in the morning?
03:35Let's get a divorce.
03:38Dakota, let's get a divorce.
03:40Whatever.
03:42Hello?
03:43I can't wait to see the world with you again.
03:45Really?
03:46Me too.
03:47I miss you so much.
03:50Even when I hand her divorce papers,
03:51she doesn't look at me.
03:53Do you know what you just signed?
03:55Yeah, some useless form.
03:57Darling, if you put half this energy into my happiness,
04:00you might almost be comparable to Jonathan.
04:02He's given me more than you ever could.
04:03Jonathan has given you more than I have?
04:06Yeah.
04:08When my father died,
04:09a Navy captain who always said the ocean was home,
04:12I was broken.
04:13Jonathan worked behind the scenes for months.
04:15He petitioned the Navy to name one of the fleet carriers after Dad.
04:19Now, every time it returns home,
04:20I know it's him saluting.
04:23And you?
04:24What did you ever do for me?
04:26You actually believe Jonathan did that?
04:29Of course.
04:30He's the only one who knows me that well.
04:32It was me,
04:34Your Highness.
04:35The memorial ship is a national treasure.
04:38Royal vessels are not dedicated to civilians.
04:41Dakota,
04:42I argued with them for three hours.
04:44They valued tradition more than your father's memory.
04:52I went...
04:53Hey, sorry.
04:54I was just...
04:57I rewrote the rules for you.
04:59They crushed me for it.
05:00I didn't regret it until now.
05:30You rewrote protocol for her.
05:32Turns out the game was rigged.
05:42Father?
05:43Adrian, at last.
05:45Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
05:47A lesson you will now learn.
05:50Will you restore the people's faith?
05:53You can count on me, Father.
05:57If you accept this,
05:59you'll enter the year of silence.
06:02Twelve moons of isolation
06:04with no word from the outside.
06:08Every king before you has faced it.
06:12Only then can you understand the weight of the crown.
06:16It won't be an issue.
06:17I won't let you down.
06:21I gave five years of my life to you, Dakota.
06:25Starting today, I'm living for myself.
06:30King and country.
06:33Mrs. DeLulu,
06:35I wanted to tell you in person.
06:37King Lucian has chosen me to be the next king.
06:40I'll report to Slabon Castle next week
06:42to begin preparations.
06:44Adrian, that's wonderful.
06:46I always knew you were meant to be king.
06:49But Dakota and I are divorced now.
06:53What?
06:54Is this because of one of Dakota's tantrums?
06:56Adrian, darling,
06:57don't take her words to heart.
06:59She doesn't mean them.
07:00I chose to divorce her.
07:02I'm sorry.
07:05I'm so sorry I pushed you into marrying her.
07:08After Jonathan broke her heart,
07:10she was a wreck.
07:11I owe you.
07:12No, Mrs. D.
07:13You helped handle the media scandal
07:15after I named the royal ship vessel
07:16after Dakota's father.
07:17Without you,
07:18I'd have been disowned permanently.
07:19It may have started as a debt,
07:21but you loved her.
07:22I know you did.
07:24It doesn't matter.
07:25Jonathan's back,
07:26and Dakota still loves him.
07:27Our contract has run its course.
07:32Dakota will regret this so much.
07:40Adrian Slayborn.
07:42At the request of His Majesty the King,
07:44you are hereby called to Slayborn Castle
07:47to begin preparation for the Year of Silence.
07:53It's time to move forward.
07:55I hardly have any of my things in this house.
07:59Adrian, be quicker when I knock on the door.
08:01Now, apologize for making me wait.
08:04Hey, I told you to apologize.
08:07If you don't,
08:08I'll tell Dakota you're misbehaving
08:10and she won't talk to you all week.
08:12Oh my God!
08:14Did you just assault me?
08:15I'm going to tell Dakota to divorce your ass.
08:18Jonathan is on his way
08:20to show you what a real man looks like.
08:38What's going on?
08:40Thought I heard arguing.
08:42Oh, Dakota!
08:45Adrian was being so mean to me.
08:48I walked in and he just snapped.
08:50Thank God Jonathan's here
08:52to show him how a real man acts.
08:54Johnny, you know I always wanted you
08:56to get with my sister.
08:57She likes you so much.
09:00Always buying you little gifts.
09:02Literally never shuts up about you.
09:04I mean, say the word
09:06and she'll totally divorce his ass.
09:09Rosella, stop.
09:11Don't listen to her.
09:12She doesn't mean anything she says.
09:14Yeah, man.
09:15Chill.
09:15It's not that deep.
09:17I'm not mad.
09:18Okay, enough small talk.
09:20Jonathan just moved in.
09:21Let's show him around.
09:23Jonathan is moving in?
09:25Yeah.
09:27He just moved back to town
09:29and needed a place to stay.
09:30I figured he could crash here
09:32for a few nights.
09:33You don't mind, do you, Adrian?
09:35No, no.
09:37Adrian doesn't mind.
09:38He's very accommodating.
09:40Yeah.
09:41He's basically a housemate.
09:42His opinion doesn't matter.
09:43Even if I did mind,
09:44it wouldn't make a difference, would it?
09:46You know, Dakota,
09:47I feel like Adrian's
09:48a little uncomfortable.
09:49Maybe we shouldn't...
09:50No.
09:51Absolutely not.
09:52Oh, Adrian,
09:53stop ruining everything.
09:55Stop acting like you deserve respect.
09:57You're the one
09:58who should be packing your bags.
10:01Okay, that's enough.
10:03Jonathan is staying.
10:04End of discussion.
10:07Oh, damn.
10:08My shoes are dirty.
10:09Would be a shame
10:10to ruin this carpet,
10:11the one Adrian
10:12probably spends hours cleaning.
10:14Don't worry.
10:15Adrian can clean it up.
10:16Actually, Adrian,
10:18do you mind?
10:19Jonathan's our guest.
10:20Could you clean his shoes?
10:22You want me to clean
10:24Jonathan's shoes?
10:26You should be grateful
10:27he even lets you touch them.
10:29Yeah, that's not happening, Rosella.
10:31Adrian,
10:32what the hell is wrong with you?
10:33You're so rude today.
10:36Guys, relax.
10:38No need to fight over me.
10:40I'm not royalty.
10:43Not like him, anyway.
10:45Let's just go ride horses.
10:48Dakota,
10:49I'm heading to our old spot.
10:52The Riz Calton race course?
10:53The Riz Calton race course.
10:55Oh, Adrian,
10:56why don't you come too?
10:57Get some exercise.
10:58You've been looking
10:59weak and pathetic lately.
11:02You guys go ahead.
11:03I don't have the right riding gear.
11:04Seriously?
11:05Man, that's sad.
11:07You should buy him gear.
11:08It's embarrassing
11:09he doesn't have any.
11:10Oh, I've bought him plenty.
11:12Adrian,
11:13what happened to all that money
11:15I gave you?
11:16Your sister took it
11:17and blew it all
11:18on luxury trips
11:19and Instagram photo shoots.
11:21Okay,
11:22enough about the past.
11:23Let's ride some horses.
11:24Mom can drop off
11:25some equipment.
11:26She might even have
11:27Jonathan's old stuff
11:28from college.
11:29Yeah.
11:29Come on,
11:31let's get ready.
11:31Yeah.
11:37You see,
11:37Dakota,
11:38it's all about technique.
11:39You have to really
11:40dominate it
11:40and show it who's boss.
11:42What am I even doing here?
11:44What a waste of time.
11:45That's right.
11:46Put a little force into it.
11:47Ugh!
11:50Oh,
11:51Jonathan,
11:51I really see
11:53what you mean here.
11:53How did I even end up here?
11:56I guess I just got used
11:57to giving her
11:58whatever she wants.
11:59Do you remember
12:00these horse stables?
12:01We'd meet here
12:02after my races.
12:03I won all of them,
12:04obviously.
12:06In a few days,
12:07I'll be able to leave
12:08all of this behind.
12:09Oh, Adrian,
12:11I forgot you even existed.
12:12Don't mind us.
12:13I didn't mean to make
12:14you uncomfortable.
12:15Yeah, Adrian,
12:16that was such a long time ago.
12:17Well,
12:18not that long ago,
12:19to be honest.
12:21Adrian,
12:21how about
12:22Jonathan helps you
12:23to improve your technique?
12:24You look really weird
12:26when you ride horses.
12:28Remember?
12:29Freak on a merry-go-round,
12:31we used to call him.
12:32Oh,
12:32that's terrible,
12:33Adrian.
12:37Oh,
12:39my God!
12:41Jonathan!
12:43Johnny!
12:43Oh,
12:44shit!
12:46It looks really serious.
12:47Are you okay?
12:48I...
12:49I think I'll be fine,
12:50Dakota.
12:55I think I'll be fine.
12:56What's wrong with you?
12:57Why would you do that
12:58to Jonathan?
13:02Dakota,
13:02we need to get Jonathan
13:03to the hospital immediately.
13:05I cannot believe you,
13:06Adrian.
13:07Seriously?
13:08You think I did this
13:09on purpose?
13:10We all saw what happened
13:11to Adrian.
13:12Now,
13:12he's seriously injured.
13:14I need to take him
13:15to the ER.
13:15You better hope
13:16his arm isn't broken.
13:18What?
13:19If you've really
13:20hurt your shoulder,
13:21call a taxi
13:22and take yourself
13:22to the hospital.
13:27You're going to be okay,
13:28Johnny.
13:28Yeah,
13:29I think I'll be okay.
13:30Good job.
13:31Come on,
13:32I'll take care of you.
13:38Looks like there's only room
13:39for one man in her heart.
13:41It's always been Jonathan.
13:45Jonathan.
13:46Jonathan.
13:46Jonathan.
13:47Jonathan.
13:49Adrian Slaybourne,
13:50you are required
13:51to report to the Royal Palace
13:53within five days
13:54to begin kingship preparations.
13:58The guy in the next ward
13:59has a good,
14:00barely injured,
14:01but his girlfriend
14:02booked out the entire floor
14:04for him.
14:05Whoa,
14:06and she's hot!
14:09Be careful when you shower,
14:10Johnny.
14:13You left your injured husband
14:15to take care of your old flame.
14:19Adrian?
14:20I was just coming
14:21to check on you.
14:21Sure you were.
14:23The maid said
14:23you never came home.
14:24Is this about Jonathan?
14:25You can't disappear
14:26every time things
14:27don't go your way.
14:28I was hurt too, Dakota,
14:30trying to protect you.
14:31Wow.
14:32Are you gaslighting me
14:33right now?
14:34Dakota,
14:35do you love me?
14:37Adrian,
14:37you're my husband.
14:39I wouldn't have married you
14:40if I didn't love you.
14:42Then say it.
14:45Tell me you love me.
14:47Jesus, Adrian.
14:48We're in public.
14:49You know why
14:50you can't say it?
14:51Because you don't.
14:52Dakota,
14:53could you help me
14:54with my towel?
14:54My arm hurts.
14:58So that's it, Dakota?
15:00You're really going
15:01to help him in the shower?
15:04I thought you'd at least
15:05remember you have a husband,
15:06that I existed at all.
15:08Adrian, I...
15:09No, it's fine, really.
15:10Don't keep the man waiting.
15:11Stop being weird.
15:13Jonathan and I
15:14grew up skinny dipping together.
15:15We've seen each other
15:16naked before.
15:17Relax.
15:27Oh, Tony,
15:29what would I do
15:29without you?
15:35I thought that
15:36if I did everything right,
15:37you'd eventually love me.
15:39Now I know
15:40that will never happen.
15:41Dr. David,
15:42telephone...
15:44Telephone, please.
15:47Adrian,
15:48your training starts soon.
15:49We need you

15:52Understood?
15:53Yes, Father.
15:54I'll be there shortly.
15:55Good.
15:55And did you tell
15:56your wife yet?
15:57You won't be able
15:58to contact her
15:59during the entire
16:00year of silence.
16:01Dad,
16:03I'm divorced.
16:05Divorced?
16:06Adrian,
16:06what the hell
16:06are you talking about?
16:09Adrian,

16:12any papers.

16:19to cause any trouble.
