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