Short filmTranscript
00:00Dakota, 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, 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.
00:53Oh, Johnny.
01:01I made sure you ate right.
01:04I helped stabilize your blood sugar.
01:07But that's okay.
01:08Jonathan 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.
01:23I'll finally give you what you've always wanted.
01:26Read them.
01:29Even after I turn up past a smoke, I'm still watching the door for you.
01:34Muscle memory, I suppose.
01:35But to rewire my heart, that 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?
02:05Pick 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.
02:11I spilled wine, I showered, and I took this.
02:13What 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, his 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?
02:33Maybe you could lecture me if you were king.
02:37But you're just a stay-at-home husband.
02:40Useless.
02:41Unlike Jonathan.
02:46Dakota.
02:48If 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.
03:02Morning, 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?
03:31Hey, I'm hungry.
03:32Can you not look so bloody miserable in the morning?
03:35Let'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.
03:54Do 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.
04:14Jonathan 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 been 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.
04:34Your 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.
04:53Hey, sorry, I 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.
05:11Hope she's worth it.
05:12She is.
05:18I was wrong.
05:19You chose the throne over your first love.
05:22I was just your bargaining chair.
05:27For five years, I tried to win your heart.
05:32Turns 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 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.
06:26Starting 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 to begin preparations.
06:44Adrian, 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 Kota'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.
07:08After 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
07:17after 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 Slaybon.
07:43At the request of His Majesty the King,
07:45you are hereby called to Slaybon 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.
08:51Thank 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.
09:05I 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.
09:21Jonathan 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.
09:43Even if I did mind,
09:44it 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
09:58who 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
10:28he 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,
10:57why don't you come too?
10:58Get some exercise.
10:59You've been looking
11:00weak and pathetic lately.
11:02You 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
11:10he doesn't have any.
11:11Oh, I've bought him plenty.
11:13Adrian,
11:14what happened to all that money
11:15I gave you?
11:17Your sister took it
11:18and blew it all
11:19on luxury trips
11:20and Instagram photo shoots.
11:22Okay, enough about the past.
11:24Let's ride some horses.
11:25Mom can drop off
11:26some equipment.
11:27She might even have
11:28Jonathan's old stuff
11:29from college.
11:30Come on,
11:31let's get ready.
11:32Yeah.
11:37You see, Dakota,
11:38it's all about technique.
11:39You have to really
11:40dominate it
11:41and 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.
11:50Oh, Jonathan,
11:52I really see
11:53what you mean here.
11:54How did I even end up here?
11:56I guess I just got used
11:58to giving her
11:58whatever she wants.
12:00Do you remember
12:01these horse stables?
12:02We'd meet here
12:03after my races.
12:04I won all of them,
12:05obviously.
12:07In a few days,
12:08I'll be able to leave
12:09all of this behind.
12:10Oh, Adrian,
12:11I forgot you even existed.
12:13Don't mind us.
12:14I didn't mean
12:14to make you uncomfortable.
12:16Yeah, Adrian,
12:16that was such a long time ago.
12:18Well,
12:18not that long ago,
12:19to be honest.
12:21Adrian,
12:22how about Jonathan
12:23helps you
12:24to improve your technique?
12:25You look really weird
12:27when you ride horses.
12:28Remember?
12:30Freak on a merry-go-round,
12:31we used to call him.
12:33Oh,
12:33that's terrible, Adrian.
12:39Oh, my God!
12:41Jonathan!
12:43Johnny!
12:44Oh, shit!
12:46It looks really serious.
12:48Are you okay?
12:49I...
12:49I think I'll be fine, Dakota.
12:52Okay.
12:56Adrian!
12:57What's wrong with you?
12:58Why would you do that
12:59to Jonathan?
13:02Dakota,
13:03we need to get Jonathan
13:04to the hospital immediately.
13:06I cannot believe you, Adrian.
13:08Seriously?
13:09You think I did this
13:10on purpose?
13:11We all saw what happened,
13:12Adrian.
13:12Now,
13:13he's seriously injured.
13:14I need to take him
13:15to the ER.
13:16You better hope
13:17his arm isn't broken.
13:19What?
13:20If you've really
13:21hurt your shoulder,
13:22call a taxi
13:22and take yourself
13:23to the hospital.
13:27You're going
13:28to be okay, Johnny.
13:29Yeah,
13:30I think I'll be okay.
13:31Good job.
13:32Come on.
13:32I'll take care of you.
13:39Looks like
13:39there's only room
13:40for one man
13:41in her heart.
13:42It's always been
13:43Jonathan.
13:49Adrian Slaborn,
13:51you are required
13:52to report
13:53to the Royal Palace
13:54within five days
13:55to begin
13:56kingship preparations.
13:58The guy
13:59in the next ward
14:00has a good...
14:01barely injured.
14:02His girlfriend
14:03booked out
14:03the entire show for him.
14:05Whoa!
14:07And she's hot!
14:09Be careful
14:10when you shower,
14:11Johnny.
14:14You left
14:14your injured husband
14:15to take care
14:16of your old flame.
14:19Adrian?
14:20I was just
14:21coming to check on you.
14:22Sure you were.
14:23The maid said
14:24you never came home.
14:25Is this about Jonathan?
14:26You can't disappear
14:27every time things
14:28don't go your way.
14:29I was hurt too, Dakota,
14:30trying to protect you.
14:32Wow.
14:33Are you gaslighting
14:34me right now?
14:34Dakota,
14:36do you love me?
14:37Adrian,
14:38you're my husband.
14:39I wouldn't have
14:40married you
14:41if I didn't love you.
14:43Then say it.
14:45Tell me you love me.
14:47Jesus, Adrian.
14:49We're in public.
14:50You know why
14:50you can't say it?
14:51Because you don't.
14:53Dakota,
14:54could you help me
14:54with my towel?
14:55My arm hurts.
14:59So that's it, Dakota.
15:01You're really going
15:02to help him
15:02in the shower?
15:05I thought you'd
15:05at least remember
15:06you have a husband,
15:07that I existed at all.
15:08Adrian, I...
15:09No, it's fine, really.
15:11Don't keep the man waiting.
15:12Stop being weird.
15:14Jonathan and I
15:14grew up skinny dipping together.
15:16We've seen each other
15:17naked before.
15:18Relax.
15:28Oh, Tony,
15:29what would I do
15:30without you?
15:36I thought that
15:37if I did everything right,
15:38you'd eventually love me.
15:40Now I know
15:40that will never happen.
15:48Adrian,
15:49your training starts soon.
15:50We need you
15:51at Slaver Castle
15:51as quickly as possible.
15:53Understood?
15:54Yes, Father.
15:54I'll be there shortly.
15:55Good.
15:56And did you tell
15:57your wife yet?
15:58You won't be able
15:59to contact her
15:59during the entire
16:00year of silence.
16:01Dad,
16:03I'm divorced.
16:06Divorced?
16:06Adrian,
16:07what the hell
16:07are you talking about?
16:10Adrian,

16:15the reason you guys
16:16are fighting.

16:20to cause any trouble.
