00:00:28You
00:00:46Miles, have you heard anything about the expansion loan?
00:00:50Yeah, Mr. Green actually just called and said he would let me know in a few days.
00:00:56I'm so excited about what I could possibly do with that additional space.
00:01:00You deserve it.
00:01:01We deserve it.
00:01:03We are a team.
00:01:05Yeah.
00:01:20Well, hello, you.
00:01:23Hey.
00:01:23Hey.
00:01:27Is it lunch already?
00:01:28Yeah.
00:01:29Looks like you need a bit of help over there.
00:01:31Yeah.
00:01:32I actually might need two more tables set up.
00:01:34Chess night is growing.
00:01:35Oh, that's amazing, babe.
00:01:37Things are really taking off then.
00:01:38Yeah.
00:01:39It's really helping the kids' confidence and the parents really love it too.
00:01:42So it's a win-win.
00:01:43It's so true.
00:01:45It did help me too back in the day.
00:01:47You know how to play chess?
00:01:50Is that a question?
00:01:52Yes.
00:01:52Do you know how to play chess?
00:01:54Okay.
00:01:55Challenge accepted.
00:01:57Bring it on then.
00:01:58Let's go grab this lunch and let's come back and settle this.
00:02:00Okay.
00:02:01All right then.
00:02:02Let's go.
00:02:02Let's go.
00:02:03Do I know how to play chess?
00:02:05You can.
00:02:26All right.
00:02:26What do we have?
00:02:28Got some fruits.
00:02:30Look at you.
00:02:30Hmm.
00:02:31Some chocolates.
00:02:33All right.
00:02:33Mm-hmm.
00:02:35And tuna on rye.
00:02:37You're amazing.
00:02:41Yes.
00:02:41You're welcome.
00:02:43I forgot your book.
00:02:44Sorry.
00:02:45It finally came and I forgot it.
00:02:47No, no.
00:02:47It's okay.
00:02:48I'll come in and I'll pay for it like everybody else does.
00:02:51I don't want any special favors just cause I'm dating the boss.
00:02:54Well, I think dating the boss is exactly what you get, special treatment.
00:02:58Oh, you really know how to get to my heart.
00:03:01Mm-hmm.
00:03:02This is good, baby.
00:03:03The perks of love.
00:03:05Yes, and there are many.
00:03:10So, how was your morning?
00:03:12Better than yesterday.
00:03:13Yeah.
00:03:13Still recovering?
00:03:15Yeah, those rejection emails are the worst.
00:03:18They're horrible.
00:03:20Can't stand them.
00:03:21Yeah, but you know, you're really special.
00:03:24It's a hard industry to break into and you just keep cracking at it.
00:03:28Says the owner of one of a few black-owned independent bookstores in L.A.
00:03:32I'll take it.
00:03:35You're so cute when you blush.
00:03:38I'm not blushing.
00:03:40Do you not?
00:03:40No.
00:03:43Sorry.
00:03:47It's my mother.
00:03:48Do not finish the dessert.
00:03:50Stevenson?
00:03:51I can't promise you that.
00:03:54Hello, mother.
00:03:56Is everything okay?
00:04:00You will definitely see me.
00:04:01I am not missing it for the world.
00:04:04Hello?
00:04:06Hi, yes.
00:04:07This is Riley Stevenson.
00:04:09Hi, Mr. Green.
00:04:10And remember, I am bringing a girlfriend over.
00:04:12Yeah, have you heard anything about the expansion loan yet?
00:04:15Her name is Riley.
00:04:17Oh.
00:04:18Oh.
00:04:19Oh.
00:04:19Okay.
00:04:19I see.
00:04:20No, I understand.
00:04:23Okay.
00:04:26Okay, ma.
00:04:27I love you.
00:04:29I...
00:04:29I see you.
00:04:31Bye.
00:04:38Everything okay?
00:04:39Yeah.
00:04:40Yeah.
00:04:40Yeah, I'm just ready to get into this chocolate.
00:04:44Yeah.
00:04:45All right.
00:04:46Try one.
00:04:49Mmm.
00:04:50Oh, yeah.
00:04:51Mmm.
00:04:53So, listen.
00:04:55Coming with me to South Africa, right?
00:04:59I don't know, Mila.
00:05:01That was my mother.
00:05:03You know, she was checking in to see if I'm still coming home for the anniversary celebration.
00:05:08I would love for you to come with me.
00:05:10I don't know if I can just up and go to South Africa right now.
00:05:15But you can.
00:05:16What you have to do is say yes.
00:05:24That's how I imagined it to be.
00:05:25So, you would manage the US and Canada and, of course, recommend some UK-based sub-ages
00:05:30to handle all the other territories.
00:05:32All right.
00:05:32I'll get onto it straight away.
00:05:33All right.
00:05:33So, we got a deal?
00:05:34We got a deal.
00:05:35Cheers.
00:05:36Later.
00:05:38Sounds like good news, huh?
00:05:40Great news, man.
00:05:41You just need to forward them the first few chapters of my book, then if there's interest,
00:05:44I may have secured us some distribution.
00:05:47Wow.
00:05:48Yep.
00:05:49On that celebratory note, all the plans are made for your trip home.
00:05:54Hmm.
00:05:54I leave tonight to get everything ready for your arrival.
00:05:59Sleep home.
00:06:00I'll see you later.
00:06:01Hmm.
00:06:02Okay.
00:06:07We are going to read this book called Tell Me the Day Backwards.
00:06:11Oh, I remember that game, Mama Bear said as she tucked him in.
00:06:16You start.
00:06:19I was chased by bees and they were stinging me.
00:06:23I couldn't run fast enough to get away from them.
00:06:27Yes, that's right, said Mama Bear.
00:06:29Before that, I discovered an old rotten tree stump with a dusty old beehive hidden inside
00:06:35it.
00:06:35And that's when you should have come and found me, Mama Bear reminded Timmy.
00:06:41Should have went and got his mom, right?
00:06:52Oh, this room is so cluttered.
00:06:55We're even outgrowing the space back here.
00:07:06Hey, you're going to tell me what's really bothering you?
00:07:11They denied the loan.
00:07:16Uh, hi, Alex.
00:07:19Please don't tell me someone bought the building.
00:07:23No, uh, we're talking to another lender.
00:07:27Next week?
00:07:29Okay, I'll keep you posted.
00:07:32No, we're not going to give up.
00:07:35Okay, thanks.
00:07:51Hey, it'll be alright.
00:07:54You just have to find a way to bounce back and just keep on going after your dream.
00:07:59I guess you're right.
00:08:02Manla was just talking about this at lunch.
00:08:04Not going to give up.
00:08:06We're going to have that coffee shop.
00:08:08Yes, we are.
00:08:11What do they say?
00:08:12Fourth times the charm?
00:08:14Third.
00:08:15Third.
00:08:16Fourth.
00:08:16Fifth.
00:08:17Six.
00:08:19Doesn't matter.
00:08:20It's going to happen.
00:08:27Hey, Manla.
00:08:28You good?
00:08:29Yeah, I'm good.
00:08:29And you?
00:08:30Hey.
00:08:31Hello.
00:08:32Hey, babe.
00:08:34What are you doing here?
00:08:36You forgot your lunch bag in my car.
00:08:40Mm-hmm.
00:08:41Because she can't be without it tonight, huh, Manla?
00:08:44And I wanted to show you something.
00:08:47I don't know if she told you, Sonia, but Riley here is coming home with me.
00:08:51I didn't say yes.
00:08:53Yeah, she didn't say yes just yet, but I'm sure Sonia won't mind letting you go for a week,
00:08:58Russell.
00:08:58Of course not.
00:08:59First class.
00:09:01Yeah, um, Sipo used his points.
00:09:04Personally, I think that you should take a break from the store.
00:09:07Plus, Sue turns down first class tickets to South Africa.
00:09:10There we go.
00:09:11Boom.
00:09:12Settled.
00:09:15I don't know, guys.
00:09:16Come on.
00:09:17No, look at this place.
00:09:18We have so much to do around here.
00:09:20And I just started the chess club with the kids, and they're going to be so disappointed
00:09:24if I'm not here.
00:09:26I understand, babe.
00:09:28I get it.
00:09:29But I just can't wait for you to meet my family, especially now during the wedding anniversary.
00:09:35He's got a point.
00:09:37Can we talk about this over dinner?
00:09:40Girl, if you don't go to South Africa and meet this man's family, see if he has a brother,
00:09:46cousin, something.
00:09:47I'm trying to get married.
00:09:48Okay.
00:09:49There you go.
00:09:49Now you have an assignment.
00:09:51Oh, I forgot.
00:09:53I...
00:09:53got your book.
00:09:54Yeah, okay.
00:09:55Great.
00:09:56I just forgot my keys.
00:09:58Two seconds.
00:09:58Next time.
00:09:59Bye.
00:10:01Bye too.
00:10:03Bye.
00:10:08Bye.
00:10:11Bye.
00:10:14Bye.
00:10:29The keys are on my desk.
00:10:31Yeah, oh yeah, I just got them on my way.
00:10:44I got them.
00:10:57I cannot believe I am going to Africa.
00:11:00I know.
00:11:02You must miss it.
00:11:03How long has it been since you've been back?
00:11:05It's been 15 years.
00:11:08I miss it a lot.
00:11:10Aww, Ziggy, I'm going to miss you.
00:11:13But Sonia's going to take such good care of you, Wampa.
00:11:16Yes, we're going to have lots of fun and eat lots of treats.
00:11:20Yes, we all.
00:11:22What about this one?
00:11:24I should bring it.
00:11:25A definite no.
00:11:29You're flying first class to South Africa
00:11:31to meet your boyfriend's family.
00:11:32You need to step up your game.
00:11:37I don't know if I can do this.
00:11:41What am I thinking?
00:11:43What?
00:11:44You don't think he's taking you all the way to South Africa
00:11:47to meet his family if he's not thinking about marriage?
00:11:51I mean, I don't know.
00:11:52We've talked about it, but...
00:11:53Well, there you have it.
00:11:55Riles.
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:59Look, I know you want to take Stevenson's read to the next level.
00:12:04Expand by buying the coffee shop next door and reading to the kids,
00:12:08and it's going to happen.
00:12:10You just have to trust the process and enjoy the journey.
00:12:14Everything will unfold the way it's supposed to.
00:12:17I know.
00:12:18You're right.
00:12:20It's just I haven't heard from Bayside Lending.
00:12:24Just promise me, as soon as they call you, you will let me know.
00:12:28Of course.
00:12:29I promise.
00:12:31I've got your back.
00:12:33Have I told you how much I love you?
00:12:34No.
00:12:35But you can now.
00:12:37You're like my family, like my sister.
00:12:40From college roommates to my biggest support system.
00:12:43Who would've thought?
00:12:45Right.
00:12:46Okay, so...
00:12:54Really?
00:12:55I mean, no.
00:12:57This is so fancy.
00:12:58A man lives so laid back.
00:13:00I can't imagine his family doing anything this elaborate.
00:13:04Just because he's laid back, it doesn't mean his family is.
00:13:08What does your mom say?
00:13:10Better to have and not need?
00:13:12Then need and not have.
00:13:14There you go!
00:13:15You're going to South Africa!
00:13:17I'm going to South Africa!
00:13:37Thomas.
00:13:41There they are.
00:13:43Hey.
00:13:44Grandma.
00:13:46Oh, my child.
00:13:47Get in here.
00:13:49Oh, you'll always be my brother no matter how old you get.
00:13:53And you must be Riley.
00:13:55The lovely lady is still my brother's heart.
00:13:58And you must be Nandi.
00:13:59Yes.
00:14:00I've heard so much about you.
00:14:01It's so nice to meet you.
00:14:02Oh, get in here.
00:14:07Well, in all the stories that you've heard about me, I'm sure he told you about how I beat him
00:14:12in everything, including boxing.
00:14:14Oh, okay.
00:14:15So soon, okay.
00:14:16You do know I let you BP all those years, right?
00:14:19Oh, please.
00:14:19We all know you're a lover and not a fighter.
00:14:23Nice to see you, Miss Riley.
00:14:25Yeah, I didn't know you were coming.
00:14:26Oh, I wouldn't miss a good party, even if it is 10,000 miles away.
00:14:29Oh, yeah.
00:14:31I thought you said this was a small celebration.
00:14:33Yeah, it is.
00:14:35It is.
00:14:35Let's get going.
00:14:36Shall we?
00:14:37Yeah.
00:14:37All right.
00:14:38Ladies first.
00:14:38Love your outfit.
00:14:39Oh, I love yours.
00:14:40I love yours.
00:14:43You look so cute.
00:14:45Are you guys hungry?
00:14:46Yes.
00:14:47Starving.
00:14:48How about...
00:14:49Oh, yeah.
00:14:51Oh, yeah.
00:14:51Oh, definitely.
00:14:51What is that?
00:14:52You'll love it.
00:14:53I'll tell you all about these at the car.
00:15:00I love you.
00:15:00It says salami.
00:15:02Here we go.
00:15:03You got the bags?
00:15:04Got it.
00:15:04Yeah.
00:15:05Alright.
00:15:31Shall we?
00:15:34Yep.
00:15:35Hey.
00:15:37Hey.
00:15:37Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:15:38Six dollars.
00:15:39Six dollars.
00:15:39Yeah.
00:15:41Name it.
00:15:41You know it.
00:15:42Yes.
00:15:42Force.
00:15:43Pop.
00:15:43Go.
00:15:44You know.
00:15:45We're going to find a table, okay?
00:15:47Okay, cool.
00:15:47Alright.
00:16:05Oh, this looks amazing.
00:16:08This is so good.
00:16:10Home sweet home.
00:16:12That is chakalaka.
00:16:14So it's like baked beans, green beans and carrots and a whole lot of other stuff.
00:16:18It's hot though.
00:16:19Mmm.
00:16:20And this is pap.
00:16:21You guys can call it what?
00:16:22Grits?
00:16:23Grits.
00:16:24Yeah.
00:16:24Grits is softer, isn't it?
00:16:27Pap.
00:16:28This is why people come home.
00:16:31Do you like that?
00:16:32Mm-hmm.
00:16:32We eat in this manner.
00:16:35We all share.
00:16:36Share.
00:16:36Eat with our hands.
00:16:38Eat with your hands.
00:16:38So what do you think?
00:16:39It's really good.
00:16:40Yeah.
00:16:41Awesome.
00:16:42Menza tells me you're in a bookstore.
00:16:44Yes, I do.
00:16:45That's fantastic.
00:16:46Is that how you guys met?
00:16:48Yes, but it's actually Sipo's doing.
00:16:50Yep.
00:16:50He's pretty much responsible for this.
00:16:52What you see in front of you.
00:16:54Mmm.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:16:55So, here's a story.
00:16:57He went to the bookstore to get me a book, but he forgot it.
00:17:01And of course, somebody had to get the book.
00:17:03Yes.
00:17:04And he came in and he was so handsome, but he just made me laugh.
00:17:10Yeah.
00:17:10He's so funny, and I've been smiling at her since.
00:17:15Aww.
00:17:15So, that's how I knew.
00:17:16Yeah.
00:17:17From that day, I could never get my mind off her.
00:17:21I could stop thinking about her, and...
00:17:25Yeah.
00:17:26I'm glad I went to get that book.
00:17:27Beautiful story.
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:37This is a vibe.
00:17:38This is my jam.
00:17:39Oh, boy.
00:17:40Here we go, okay.
00:17:41I thought I'm going to join that guy in the dance hall.
00:17:43This is not LA.
00:17:44Okay.
00:17:46Oh, my gosh.
00:17:49Hey.
00:17:51Hey.
00:17:52Hey.

00:18:00Hey.
00:18:02Hey italic.
00:18:02Hey mirawee.
00:18:03.
00:18:17I had so much fun.
00:18:19Listen, um...
00:18:22I need to tell you something.
00:18:24Right now in the middle of the parking lot?
00:18:26Can it wait?
00:18:29Okay, lovebirds, let's go.
00:18:32Let's go.
00:18:33Guess it'll have to.
00:18:47Wow.
00:19:00Are you kidding me?
00:19:02Um, hey, listen.
00:19:05There's something I want to talk to you about.
00:19:06No, we need to talk about this.
00:19:09Manla, are you rich?
00:19:14Wait, you didn't answer my question.
00:19:18Um, yeah, you know, there's some wealth in the family.
00:19:22Really?
00:19:23It's complicated, baby.
00:19:25Let's get inside.
00:19:27Okay?
00:19:35Oh, my goodness.
00:19:38We're so happy to have you home, sir.
00:19:40It's so good to be home, brother.
00:19:42Wealthy enough for a butler.
00:19:45Barney, this is, um, Riley.
00:19:47Riley, an absolute pleasure.
00:19:49Nice to meet you.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:51Oh, they didn't have to take my bags.
00:19:53I could have done that myself.
00:19:55Oh, but they do, ma'am.
00:19:56Uh, it's just Riley.
00:19:59Hm.
00:20:00Hm.
00:20:00Yeah.
00:20:01Yeah, shall we?
00:20:06Riley.
00:20:08Riley.
00:20:09Riley.
00:20:12Home sweet home.
00:20:20Hey, Riley.
00:20:21I know it's been a long day, so how's about I take you to your bedroom?
00:20:24So that we can save the introductions for tomorrow.
00:20:26Okay.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:27Hold on.
00:20:28Excuse me.
00:20:29Do you mind if I say goodnight to the love of my life before you always go away?
00:20:33Okay.
00:20:33Yeah.
00:20:34If I may.
00:20:34Mm-hmm.
00:20:34Be my guest.
00:20:39Why didn't you tell me?
00:20:41I didn't know where to start.
00:20:44I'm sorry.
00:20:47I mean, this is definitely like nothing I've ever experienced before, but, um, I don't judge you for it.
00:20:54You don't?
00:20:54No.
00:20:55Just no more surprises, okay?
00:20:58Yes.
00:20:59No more surprises.
00:21:01I love you.
00:21:05I love you, too.
00:21:07And I'm happy you're here.
00:21:11See you in the morning?
00:21:12Mm-hmm.
00:21:18Alright.
00:21:19Goodnight, guys.
00:21:21All yours.
00:21:22Both we go.
00:21:23Watch your step.
00:21:24Goodnight.
00:21:54ias always in China.
00:21:55Yeah.
00:22:05Oh.
00:22:13Okay.
00:22:16Alright.
00:22:17Thank you, bro.
00:22:19We came here.
00:22:20Let's go.
00:22:21Alright.
00:22:21MomρόOSE a little bit.
00:22:21to admit that vodka is gonna fail.
00:22:21One bad thing.
00:22:22Uh-oh.
00:22:23There are four crazy hot things.
00:22:36I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was down here.
00:22:40I'm Riley.
00:22:41I'm Manless.
00:22:42Oh, Manless friend from the States.
00:22:44Yes.
00:22:46And you must be Mrs. Amitu.
00:22:49Sorry, my body's still on Pacific time,
00:22:52so I just came to get some water because I was thirsty and a snack.
00:22:58You have plenty of water in your suite.
00:23:00Oh, I didn't know.
00:23:05OK, well, good night.
00:23:25Did you say mansion?
00:23:27Yes.
00:23:28Because that's where I'm at, in the guest suite of a mansion.
00:23:31No.
00:23:32How?
00:23:33I don't know, dude.
00:23:34I am still taking it all in.
00:23:35So much for a simple life in L.A.
00:23:38So what's up?
00:23:39Did you hear from Bayside Lending?
00:23:40No, but I got a call from your realtor.
00:23:44From Alex?
00:23:46Did someone buy the building?
00:23:47He said that an angel investor bought the building next door for your coffee shop.
00:23:51He said what?
00:23:52Someone bought the building?
00:23:54Yes.
00:23:55And it's yours.
00:23:56I know.
00:23:58He said he's going to give me more information tomorrow, but it's done.
00:24:01You now own the building next door.
00:24:06I don't even know what to say.
00:24:11Who would do that, Sonia?
00:24:14We need to know.
00:24:15Please ask Alex to do whatever he can to find out so that we can set up a repayment schedule
00:24:19with the investor.
00:24:21I did my research, and angel investors are just that, angels.
00:24:26They don't want any of their recognition or their money back.
00:24:31OK, fine.
00:24:32I'll talk to Alex.
00:24:34Oh!
00:24:36This is just the wildest news I have heard in forever.
00:24:40I...
00:24:40OK, listen.
00:24:41You go enjoy yourself, and I'll get back to you as soon as I hear anything, OK?
00:24:45I definitely will.
00:25:03Come in.
00:25:05Ah, there she is.
00:25:06It's good morning, my love.
00:25:08Oh, good morning.
00:25:10How do you always look so good in the morning?
00:25:12Well, I'll take that.
00:25:18Listen, I came to tell you that breakfast will be served in a half hour.
00:25:22Oh.
00:25:23Served?
00:25:23Yes.
00:25:24Served.
00:25:25OK, well, I better go get showered for this fantasy that I'm living in.
00:25:31Something's different about you this morning.
00:25:33Really?
00:25:34How so?
00:25:35I don't know.
00:25:37You just have that extra sparkle in your eye, and I don't think I've ever seen that before.
00:25:42Must be the bed.
00:25:44I mean, I haven't slept this good in my whole life.
00:25:47You need to stop.
00:25:50We'll see you downstairs.
00:25:51Mm-hmm.
00:25:59Angel and Bester.
00:26:04What?
00:26:10I could definitely get used to this.
00:26:21Oh my God.
00:26:24Oh my God.
00:26:26Oh my God.
00:26:38Oh my God.
00:26:39Oh my God.
00:26:40Oh my God.
00:26:42I can't wait to sleep at this.
00:26:42Oh my God.
00:26:43So we can have a little bit of a verse.
00:27:02Good morning.
00:27:04Oh, good morning.
00:27:07Sorry, I was just looking for breakfast.
00:27:11You're a little ways off, my dear.
00:27:13You must be Mandla's friend.
00:27:15Yes, and you must be his dad.
00:27:18Nice to meet you, Mr. Me Too.
00:27:20Nice meeting you too.
00:27:24Please, don't mind all of this.
00:27:26It's a hobby my wife and I share since we got married.
00:27:29I was actually just noticing what a great author he is.
00:27:33All of his books are about historical vintage planes except for one.
00:27:37My dad used to build model planes, but nothing like this.
00:27:42Do you fly?
00:27:44Not as much as we used to.
00:27:46Oh, there you are.
00:27:50Hey, son.
00:27:51Father.
00:27:54Look at you.
00:27:56You just keep getting younger.
00:27:58You guys are trying to make me look old.
00:28:02I see you've met Riley.
00:28:03Mm-hmm.
00:28:04You didn't tell me that your dad loved to build model planes.
00:28:07Man loves planes.
00:28:09Look at this place.
00:28:10I see nothing's changed.
00:28:13We better get to breakfast before Cook has our hide.
00:28:17Yes.
00:28:18Good to see you.
00:28:20I'll be right behind you.
00:28:21All right.
00:28:23Welcome, Riley.
00:28:36You ready to write the phone?
00:28:39Mother.
00:28:45It's so great to see you.
00:28:46It's so great to see you, too, son.
00:28:49But you do look awfully tired.
00:28:51As America's stressing you out.
00:28:53Everything's fine, Mom.
00:28:55In fact, it couldn't be better.
00:28:56I want you to meet someone.
00:28:58This is Riley.
00:29:00We've met.
00:29:01What?
00:29:02It appears your friend needed to quench her thirst
00:29:04in the middle of the night
00:29:06and thought it's suitable to drink from the kitchen tap.
00:29:09It's okay, babe.
00:29:11I'll get Bonnie to show you where the fridge is.
00:29:13That's where you get all your order.
00:29:15Well, it's a pleasure to meet you again, Mrs. Amitu.
00:29:20And this is a beautiful home you have here.
00:29:22I've heard so much about you.
00:29:24It's nice to finally get to meet you in person.
00:29:26That's very interesting.
00:29:28We've only recently heard about you.
00:29:30No.
00:29:31Oh, no, that's not it, Mom.
00:29:32I did mention that I'm bringing Riley over
00:29:34for the celebration.
00:29:57Well, happy wedding anniversary.
00:30:00Forty years.
00:30:01That's amazing.
00:30:03What's your secret?
00:30:04Well, it isn't much of a secret.
00:30:06The first and most important rule of any marriage,
00:30:09royal or ordinary,
00:30:10is the blessing of your parents, my dear.
00:30:15Riley.
00:30:16Son.
00:30:17Father.
00:30:24Morning, my love.
00:30:25I missed you this morning.
00:30:29Hello, hello.
00:30:30Look who it is.
00:30:31King Lou himself.
00:30:32You sit right next to Riley.
00:30:34Such a beautiful boy now, Nandi.
00:30:40So, Riley, did you sleep well last night?
00:30:42That bed is like nothing I've ever slept on before.
00:30:45I'm glad.
00:30:46We're so happy you're joining us for our anniversary.
00:30:49I'm so happy to be a part of the celebration.
00:30:52Thank you so much for including me.
00:30:54My son tells me you have a bookstore.
00:30:56Yes.
00:30:57My parents opened it when I was five.
00:31:00Five?
00:31:01Well, my little chump over here is also five.
00:31:03Isn't that right, boy?
00:31:04Oh.
00:31:05Such a fun age, isn't it?
00:31:08After school, I would go and help my parents
00:31:11restock the shelves with the books,
00:31:12and then they gave me more responsibility,
00:31:15and now I run it.
00:31:16And doing an incredible job at it, if I might add.
00:31:19And, you know, it's beautiful.
00:31:21It's innovative.
00:31:22Oh, and she's actually expanding
00:31:24to opening up a coffee shop.
00:31:26That's right.
00:31:27We're opening up a coffee shop next door
00:31:29to increase foot traffic and grow the business.
00:31:32I want everyone to come in and read a book
00:31:34and enjoy their favorite cup of coffee.
00:31:37Wow.
00:31:38That's really impressive for you, right?
00:31:47I hear through the grapevine
00:31:50that a certain somebody around this table
00:31:52likes to read.
00:31:55You do, Yonda.
00:31:57Well, maybe when you come to visit,
00:31:59you can participate in the Kids' Corner.
00:32:01Oh, absolutely.
00:32:02Yes.
00:32:03The older kids read to the younger kids,
00:32:06and we even opened up a chess club.
00:32:08Would you like to visit the Kids' Corner sometime, baby?
00:32:12Good morning, everyone.
00:32:13How's my favorite royal family doing this morning?
00:32:18Good morning.
00:32:20Good morning.
00:32:20No band.
00:32:26And how's my daughter-in-law to be doing?
00:32:29Mom.
00:32:36Riley.
00:32:37Riley.
00:32:39Ayanda, please.
00:32:41Sit.
00:32:51Luanda, why don't you go with Cook to the kitchen
00:32:53to get us a treat?
00:32:56Riley.
00:32:57Riley.
00:32:58Riley.
00:33:00Hey.
00:33:01Hey.
00:33:02Please, let me explain.
00:33:04What?
00:33:04What is there to explain?
00:33:06You didn't tell me about your background.
00:33:08That woman just addressed your parents
00:33:10as king and queen.
00:33:12Did you find out?
00:33:14Mm-hmm.
00:33:15And mother's just complicating things.
00:33:17Yeah, and your mom, she just, sorry, the queen,
00:33:20she just called her daughter-in-law.
00:33:22This is what I want to talk to you about.
00:33:24Why didn't you ever mention that you were royalty
00:33:26and that you had already found your princess?
00:33:29No.
00:33:29Your highness.
00:33:30No.
00:33:31But Riley.
00:33:33I'm glad you're here, though.
00:33:34Wendler's gonna need you.
00:33:35Mm-hmm.
00:33:37You know, I tried to warn him,
00:33:39but he just doesn't listen.
00:33:40He's never been good at taking advice.
00:33:43Riley.
00:33:46Riley.
00:33:47Riley, please.
00:33:49Manza.
00:33:56I should have just told her.
00:33:58Look, we're just gonna have to let Riley digest
00:34:00all of this, okay?
00:34:02What is Ayanda doing here?
00:34:07How?
00:34:10And all the arrangements for the celebration?
00:34:12Everything's going perfectly fine.
00:34:14I knew you were the perfect choice.
00:34:27So good to see you.
00:34:29You were great.
00:34:31Do you want to tell me what's going on?
00:34:35Can I speak to you in Breivet?
00:35:20What's going on?
00:35:21It's Manla.
00:35:23He's been lying this whole time.
00:35:25He's not only rich, he's royalty.
00:35:27He's what?
00:35:28Yeah, his mom and dad are king and queen.
00:35:31Manla's a prince.
00:35:32Yeah, he's a prince who's already found his princess.
00:35:35No.
00:35:37Can't be.
00:35:38Yeah, I met her today at breakfast.
00:35:41And now I'm just wondering what the heck am I doing here?
00:35:44I need to leave this place.
00:35:48Wait.
00:35:50There...
00:35:51There must be an explanation.
00:35:53I think you should talk to him first.
00:35:57Riles?
00:36:00It's not like Manza to do something like this.
00:36:02Talk to him first before making any U.S. decisions.
00:36:11What is she doing here, Mother?
00:36:12How dare you bring shame on the name of this family?
00:36:17Bring shame.
00:36:18It's a birthright.
00:36:20A privilege that many would love to be born into.
00:36:23And yet you conceal it from the world and tarnish it by bringing home some American girl who understands nothing
00:36:29about our customs.
00:36:30Are you really going to allow him to disgrace our family like this?
00:36:35My love.
00:36:36I see no disgrace in our son following his heart.
00:36:40We said we'd raise them differently.
00:36:42Allow them the space for self-discovery.
00:36:50You've already given him far too much freedom.
00:37:01You know your mother well, son.
00:37:07But bear with her.
00:37:09It's a lot of change you're bringing to the family.
00:37:12Handle it with care.
00:37:19Riley?
00:37:24Riley, can we talk?
00:37:26Riley, please.
00:37:27I am sorry, okay?
00:37:28I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:37:29It's not like I don't even know you.
00:37:31What are you talking about?
00:37:32Of course you know me.
00:37:33You know me better than anyone in this house.
00:37:35Riley, please.
00:37:36Listen, Riley.
00:37:37Just don't stop.
00:37:39I was stupid.
00:37:40I should have said something.
00:37:42I'm...
00:37:42I'm sorry.
00:37:43I know.
00:37:44Riley, just...
00:37:45Riley, stop.
00:37:47Riley, stop.
00:37:49Riley, where are you going?
00:37:51Stop.
00:37:51What about that woman?
00:37:52Just stop.
00:37:54Listen.
00:37:54Stop.
00:37:55Stop for a second.
00:37:57Please.
00:37:58Right.
00:38:01Can you just sit down so I can explain myself to you?
00:38:05I'll tell you everything you want to know.
00:38:07Please.
00:38:23Ayanda's my ex.
00:38:26Your most recent ex?
00:38:27My only ex.
00:38:31My only ex.
00:38:35When I was a teenager, we dated for a couple of years and it didn't work.
00:38:41So I called it off.
00:38:43That's all it is.
00:38:48But that still doesn't explain why she's here now.
00:38:50She's working for my mother.
00:38:53That's all I know, Riley.
00:38:56That's it.
00:38:59Riley.
00:39:00Don't.
00:39:04Riley, please.
00:39:05I love only you.
00:39:15Now the third mouse, who was busy exploring the elephant's piped ear, said...
00:39:22Oh, boy.
00:39:24What are we gonna do now?
00:39:27That's really silly, said the elephant.
00:39:30How dare you invite six mice into this house?
00:39:35Oh.
00:39:36Hey.
00:39:41I noticed that Liana, he seems introverted, but he's really not.
00:39:45If that makes sense.
00:39:47Yeah.
00:39:48That makes sense.
00:39:50Ever since his father died, he's just seemed to go into a deeper shell.
00:39:56I'm the only one he ever talks to.
00:39:58That's when he can get a word in.
00:40:01I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:40:08My parents died a few years ago.
00:40:12I can't even begin to imagine how a boy his age must feel.
00:40:16I'm so sorry, Riley.
00:40:22I would love to help if I can.
00:40:24Mmm.
00:40:27I'd absolutely love that.
00:40:31Come on.
00:40:32Oh, it's okay, everybody.
00:40:35Let's go back to the farm.
00:40:36We cannot find our friend.
00:40:38We'll come back tomorrow, and maybe Luyanda can help us.
00:40:41Right, boy?
00:40:42Hey, guys.
00:40:44Hey.
00:40:45And how are you today, Luyanda?
00:40:51My boy, can you please say hi to Riley?
00:40:56Okay.
00:40:56Come on.
00:40:57Let's go get you a treat.
00:40:59All done, boy.
00:40:59Thank you for reading with me.
00:41:01You're still a champ.
00:41:03Thank you, uncle.
00:41:07Hey, you.
00:41:08Hey.
00:41:10I got a date planned for you.
00:41:12Oh, yeah?
00:41:14Oh, really?
00:41:17I got a date planned for you.
00:41:32Oh, yes.
00:41:34I thought about this one.
00:41:37We've been doing this thing called life together.
00:41:41Maybe it's been a dream.
00:41:46I could really see me loving you forever.
00:41:50And this king needs a queen.
00:41:53And now it's time to show ya, show ya, show ya.
00:41:57A different part of me.
00:42:00A part you've never seen.
00:42:02I'd really like to show ya, show ya, show ya.
00:42:07The place that I call home.
00:42:09So, honey, now you know.
00:42:10This is me.
00:42:15This is me.
00:42:18Show ya, show ya, show ya, show ya.
00:42:20This is me.
00:42:24Show ya, show ya, show ya.
00:42:24Ooh, yeah.
00:42:29Baby, I'ma show ya.
00:42:35These are awesome.
00:42:39Have you found anything?
00:42:40Yeah, actually, uh, can I get these two?
00:42:46Two cappuccinos.
00:42:47There you go, my angel.
00:42:48Oh, thank you so much.
00:42:50Yeah, pleasure's all mine.
00:42:52Yeah.
00:42:54Feels so good to be back here.
00:42:56Really does.
00:42:57Barney and I used to come here as kids.
00:42:59Really?
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:01Barney, your butler?
00:43:02Yeah, his father was the butler until he retired.
00:43:05He was the man that would bring us out here on weekends.
00:43:09Hey, it was really special.
00:43:10In fact, we were so mischievous, we caused so much trouble.
00:43:14We would disappear, we would run away from him, hide.
00:43:17Yeah, he was a good man.
00:43:19I needed to get away and I think he understood that.
00:43:24Yeah.
00:43:25This is so perfect.
00:43:27For you?
00:43:29No, silly, for Yawanda.
00:43:31I take it back, I take it back.
00:43:34The death of his dad has really impacted him.
00:43:37Yeah.
00:43:38I guess Nandi told you.
00:43:41Yeah.
00:43:47How about this for your dad?
00:43:49Think you'll like it?
00:43:50Oh, yeah.
00:43:51Yeah?
00:43:52Oh, yeah.
00:43:52He's got a great collection.
00:43:54You know, growing up, my parents would build model planes.
00:43:58Later on, flying vintage planes became a hobby for them.
00:44:01My dad and I, we used to build model planes.
00:44:04Growing up, I was the only child, so I was like the son my dad never had and his little
00:44:09princess.
00:44:10Yes.
00:44:13I mean, you know, not...
00:44:15Okay.
00:44:16Oh my gosh.
00:44:17Yeah, it came out of your mind.
00:44:22Salute, princess.
00:44:28I lost my father too.
00:44:34So, I know it hurts, right?
00:44:37So, I kind of have a sense of knowing how you must feel.
00:44:41But I want you to know that he loves you, and he's always right here with you.
00:44:49What's this?
00:44:50My heart.
00:44:52A child after my own heart.
00:44:58I...
00:44:59Your Highness, I would...
00:45:00Oh, no need for formalities, my dear.
00:45:04I got you something, if that's okay.
00:45:06Absolutely.
00:45:08I hope you like it.
00:45:10Mm-hmm.
00:45:12There you go.
00:45:14Oh my goodness, I've been looking for this book.
00:45:17Really?
00:45:17Yes.
00:45:18It's the last book he wrote before his fatal accident.
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:24Well, I'm glad I was just able to contribute something to your incredible collection.
00:45:30You're welcome.
00:45:31Hey, Leander.
00:45:33Why don't you go get clean up for supper?
00:45:37Oh, look at him run.
00:45:39Look at him run.
00:45:41Look at him run.
00:45:42To the left!
00:45:45Well, I guess I...
00:45:53Leander, he's such a sweet boy.
00:45:56We have a lot in common.
00:45:59I overheard.
00:46:02I'm sorry about your parents.
00:46:05It's hard enough losing one, but both.
00:46:08It's unimaginable.
00:46:11Yeah.
00:46:12Until you're faced with it.
00:46:15But, um, my best friend and Manla, they've been a godsend.
00:46:21So, I'm very grateful.
00:46:24I'm also sorry about the incident from the other morning.
00:46:30You didn't deserve that.
00:46:36Are you sure you don't want me to reschedule the form as to your majesty?
00:46:41It's your anniversary.
00:46:42You don't want to overdo it.
00:46:44You're right.
00:46:45There is a lot going on.
00:46:48Mother.
00:46:49You wanted to see me?
00:46:52Perhaps I should...
00:46:55Please excuse us, dear.
00:46:56And thank you.
00:46:57I couldn't have handled all those details without your methodical approach.
00:47:07Manla.
00:47:08It's always so good to see you.
00:47:11Likewise.
00:47:15Have a seat, son.
00:47:19Everything okay?
00:47:21Everything's fine.
00:47:23The arrangements are moving along swiftly.
00:47:26And Ayanda's handling everything like the diligent princess she could be.
00:47:31That's great news.
00:47:32My only concern is you.
00:47:34And this fantasy you're creating with your American friend.
00:47:37You mean Riley?
00:47:39Breaks my heart.
00:47:41I need to break yours too if you don't face the facts.
00:47:43And what are the facts, mother?
00:47:47Riley seems like a wonderful girl, mother.
00:47:49She's an amazing woman.
00:47:50You would love her, mother.
00:47:52If only you would just...
00:47:52But you are a prince.
00:47:54And someday you shall be king.
00:47:56And you need a strong woman by your side.
00:47:59One who understands our customs and traditions.
00:48:02One who loves and will serve our people.
00:48:06Ayanda has all these qualities and more.
00:48:08Ayanda is your choice, mother.
00:48:11Not mine.
00:48:12I made my choice.
00:48:14Her name is Riley Stevenson and I love her.
00:48:23I'm sorry to disappoint you, mother.
00:48:26But this is hard for me too.
00:48:31Your father's getting old.
00:48:34Now's the time for you to stay home and acquire as much knowledge as you can get.
00:48:39Why are you still with us?
00:48:42Why are you still with us?
00:48:48I'll speak to father.
00:48:57But as for Ayanda, we're history, mother.
00:49:17Hey, I was wondering if you could help me review the plans for the celebration.
00:49:23There's just so much to decide from. I'm starting to doubt my own judgement.
00:49:26Yes, I would love to.
00:49:29Yes.
00:49:30I mean, it's not much.
00:49:31It's just a few options that the event planner sent to Bonnie, so.
00:49:35Yes, I'd be happy to help.
00:49:37Great.
00:49:40When it was my parents' 13th wedding anniversary, I made sure it was the event of a lifetime.
00:49:50That lifetime didn't happen.
00:49:54Shortly after we celebrated, they got into a car accident.
00:50:02All righty, that's terrible.
00:50:04I'm so sorry.
00:50:08So, I get why this day is so important to you.
00:50:14Maybe after the success of the party, your mom will start to like me a little bit.
00:50:18Ah.
00:50:20Well, on that note,
00:50:24here's what I had in mind.
00:50:26Hmm.
00:50:27Yeah, check it out.
00:50:28What do you think?
00:50:29Oh.
00:50:30It's really pretty.
00:50:32Yeah?
00:50:32Yeah, I like the muted and beige colors.
00:50:36Okay.
00:50:37Okay, it's very mature.
00:50:39But you know what?
00:50:40I think it would be nice to have some pop of color, make it a little bit more vibrant.
00:50:45Okay.
00:50:45Yeah.
00:50:46All right.
00:50:46I'd love you to keep that in mind.
00:50:49You're welcome.
00:50:52Oh, and Luanda really loved the book that you got for him, so thank you.
00:50:57Oh my gosh, that makes me so happy.
00:51:00He asked if you could read him a bedtime story, if that's okay with you.
00:51:04Yes.
00:51:05Really?
00:51:06Yeah.
00:51:06Okay, great.
00:51:08I'm gonna give him a quick bath and then you can do your thing.
00:51:11Okay.
00:51:15Okay.
00:51:31I'm eagerly anticipating the day your second book will graze these shelves.
00:51:39Publishing is a tricky business, father.
00:51:41One that not even royalty can make easier.
00:51:44Not that I've tried doing it.
00:51:46I know you haven't.
00:51:47Since you were a young boy, you refused using your royalty for personal advancement.
00:51:53This isn't something you learned from your mother and I, but a trait that I think will make you a
00:51:58better leader than any king in our life.
00:52:04You know, father, since returning home, I've only felt like I'm bringing shame to this family.
00:52:10By bringing an American girl home?
00:52:14Please.
00:52:20Son.
00:52:22You'll realize that one day should you become a father that there is no formula to raising a prince.
00:52:29You've always been curious about the world, tested the boundaries.
00:52:35You've encouraged it in your childhood to your mother more than I believe it or not.
00:52:40But, son, we are aging now.
00:52:44And sometimes we question the decisions we've made both as parents and as king and queen.
00:52:51Never allow your mother and my fears to stop you from living a life of integrity.
00:52:58Integrity to who, father?
00:53:00To our people?
00:53:03Integrity to yourself.
00:53:04Integrity to yourself.
00:53:06Now, are you going to help me finish building this place?
00:53:18Where do I start again?
00:53:21You tell me.
00:53:24In the beginning is what you would always say.
00:53:28In the beginning.
00:53:33Let's find the chickens.
00:53:36Where are the chickens?
00:53:38How many chickens are there?
00:53:41Two.
00:53:41Yes!
00:53:42There's two chickens!
00:53:45Where's the bear?
00:53:47Right there.
00:53:48A grizzly bear.
00:53:49A grizzly bear!
00:53:51What sounds is the grizzly bear being?
00:54:00Oh my goodness!
00:54:02It sounds so scary!
00:54:07Oh my gosh!
00:54:09It's so big!
00:54:10It's going to get me!
00:54:11It's going to get me!
00:54:12Oh no!
00:54:14Oh no!
00:54:20It's so big!
00:54:22It's so tight!
00:54:27Oh my gosh!
00:54:31Well done!
00:54:33Thank you!
00:54:34That was good!
00:54:35That is one way to see sunny South Africa.
00:54:39I'm really enjoying South Africa.
00:54:41Oh really?
00:54:42Yeah!
00:54:43Well, okay, you seem surprised. I said that yes more like relieved that you said that you know with all
00:54:50the drama my mother
00:54:52I under in this house. I just didn't expect to hear you say that so happy guy
00:55:00So babe, hmm tell me
00:55:04Could you imagine yourself living here? I may have to return one day
00:55:12I don't know manla. I mean, you don't know. I would love to but but
00:55:20Right now my biggest dreams are tied to the bookstore and you know, it's not just any other bookstore. It's
00:55:27founded by my parents
00:55:29So if I neglected it would feel like kind of neglecting them
00:55:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. I get it
00:55:41Well, you know what I would never expect you to leave Stephenson's for me
00:55:48But I on the other hand
00:55:51Would gladly let all of this go for you
00:55:55Really
00:55:57Really?
00:55:59Yeah, I'd do it
00:56:22I can't believe how much better you've actually gotten
00:56:26Thank you very much
00:56:27It's beautiful
00:56:29I enjoy being here
00:56:32I mean I'm enjoying being back here with you
00:56:35I mean I'm enjoying being back here with you
00:56:36I'm happy to have you back
00:56:51Well we're happy to have you back
00:56:57Look who's here
00:56:58That was good
00:56:59That was really good
00:57:00Yes, it was
00:57:01Thank you so much
00:57:02Have you told Riley that we waltz at these events?
00:57:33You waltz?
00:57:34No
00:57:35I
00:57:35Welcome
00:57:36Yes
00:57:36No, I'm gonna sit this one out
00:57:38No, you're not gonna sit this one out
00:57:39I can't do this
00:57:41You're gonna come
00:57:41I'm ready
00:57:43Postures up
00:57:44Oh my gosh
00:57:45Yeah
00:57:46Okay
00:57:47Okay
00:57:48Okay
00:57:49Lift foot first
00:57:50Follow my right foot
00:57:51And we make a square
00:57:52Okay
00:57:52Okay
00:57:53Big strides
00:57:55One
00:57:55Bring them together
00:57:56Parallel
00:57:57And close the gap
00:57:59Okay
00:58:00Oh lord
00:58:02We're gonna need a prayer
00:58:03I told you I don't know how to do it
00:58:05Okay
00:58:06Okay
00:58:06You ready to start again?
00:58:08Yeah, okay
00:58:08Okay, so your left foot
00:58:10Okay
00:58:10And then
00:58:11Go parallel with your right
00:58:13Okay
00:58:14And then you close the gap
00:58:15Okay
00:58:15That's one
00:58:16That's step one
00:58:17Okay
00:58:17Like how they do it
00:58:19Oh, right
00:58:20Right
00:58:20Exactly like that
00:58:21Oh my gosh
00:58:23Okay
00:58:23Well
00:58:24Hello
00:58:25Hi
00:58:27Um
00:58:27Let me get the music
00:58:29No
00:58:29Do you wanna kill the music?
00:58:32Siko, I thought the Queen had scheduled a photo shoot
00:58:34Uh, it's a little later
00:58:35Good
00:58:40I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting
00:58:43Amayenda
00:58:45Royal event director
00:58:46Royal event director
00:58:46And a dear, dear friend of the Queen
00:58:48Hi, I'm Riley
00:58:49I'm Amayla's girlfriend
00:58:50Nice to meet you
00:58:51And how do you like being in South Africa?
00:58:54It's great
00:58:55Hey, I'm having a really great time
00:58:57Yeah
00:58:57And how's my man's been doing?
00:59:01I don't know when last I heard that name
00:59:03I'm fine
00:59:04I knew that would decent you up
00:59:06And man's was Mandla's name when we were younger
00:59:09Mine was Yaya given to me by Mandla
00:59:12I know we've been apart for months now
00:59:14I-
00:59:15Years
00:59:16Yaya, I mean
00:59:18Ayanda
00:59:19Yeah
00:59:19Yeah, but this hostility essence towards me must stop
00:59:22I got your text from last night and I just figured we see
00:59:25Your texture?
00:59:26No, I-
00:59:27Yeah, no, Riley
00:59:30Point is, we've been in each other's lives longer than we've been apart
00:59:34Look, I'm likely to be apart for this family longer
00:59:39Whether as a friend or royalty
00:59:42Monarchs are complicated and choices in most matters have little to do with feelings alone
00:59:48Mandla, can we please talk this through after the celebrations?
00:59:52I'm on your side
00:59:53And together we can make the best celebration for the King and the Queen
01:00:22You look beautiful, Your Majesty
01:00:24Thank you, dear
01:00:38Hello, my love
01:00:42You look absolutely beautiful
01:00:44Listen
01:00:46I'm sorry about Ayanda
01:00:49I want to talk to you about what you meant about that text
01:00:51But I can't do it right now because the family's waiting for us
01:00:56Think you can manage the shoot and we talk about it later?
01:01:00Yeah, that's fine
01:01:02Thank you
01:01:07All right, I'll see you
01:01:09Okay
01:01:31Nice
01:01:33Yeah
01:01:42What about Riley?
01:01:44Oh, Riley can join us after the family portrait, sweetie
01:01:48Can she please join us now?
01:01:51Well, if that's what Leander wants, then we shall give it to him
01:01:54I don't think that's a good idea
01:01:55Thank you, Ayanda, but this portrait is for Leander's bedroom
01:01:59Isn't that right, big boy?
01:02:00Yeah
01:02:01Yeah
01:02:01Get in here, baby
01:02:01Riley, come
01:02:02Um
01:02:05It warms
01:02:06Cute
01:02:07I know this hasn't been easy
01:02:23Will that be all?
01:02:25That will be all
01:02:28Just like old times
01:02:31Thanks
01:02:32Thank you, family
01:02:33Thank you, family
01:02:34For having me complete this
01:02:39Looks complicated
01:02:41You know, grandmother
01:02:43This piece goes here
01:02:44Yay
01:02:45Put this boy
01:02:46Let's put it this way
01:02:47Ah
01:02:48There we go
01:02:51Good job
01:02:52Well done, Lou
01:02:54Well done, Lou
01:02:54That's one boy
01:02:56Okay
01:02:56Let the experts come in here
01:02:58It's all good, my boy
01:03:01Good job
01:03:02Okay, let's see
01:03:03We need to add some paint to this
01:03:05Lou, you gonna help me?
01:03:06Which one are we gonna go with?
01:03:08Yellow?
01:03:09Or blue?
01:03:10Um
01:03:12Yellow and blue
01:03:13Ooh
01:03:13Yellow and blue?
01:03:14That's smart
01:03:15What color does that make?
01:03:17The color green
01:03:18Oh, darling
01:03:19Such a smart boy
01:03:20Okay
01:03:21We'll start with yellow
01:03:22And then we'll mix them up
01:03:25See that?
01:03:27Why don't you show Riley
01:03:28What Grandpa told you?
01:03:30Riley, do you know where this goes?
01:03:33Hmm
01:03:33No pressure, Riley
01:03:39Here we go
01:03:41Let's see
01:03:42Yeah
01:03:42Hmm
01:03:44You are pretty good at this, babe
01:04:10You did it, Father
01:04:12We all did it
01:04:13It's perfect
01:04:17Just like all times, her mother
01:04:19I missed you, son
01:04:21I missed you, son
01:04:35You just missed Mandla?
01:04:37Oh, I was actually looking to go to the garden
01:04:41Come
01:04:42Join me
01:04:53Would you like some tea?
01:04:55Oh
01:04:56Yes, please
01:04:57Thank you
01:05:10Thank you
01:05:11Thank you
01:05:22My son is quite taken with you
01:05:24Why is that?
01:05:27We love each other
01:05:31I don't know, I'm just a normal girl
01:05:33But he's not normal
01:05:35He's a prince
01:05:37He's been groomed as one
01:05:39He told me about, um
01:05:42When he was a kid
01:05:43Barney's dad would take him and Barney down to the market
01:05:48Just so he could run around and be normal
01:05:51He reminded me of when we went to the Dodgers game
01:05:54We took the subway and
01:05:56Mandla was like a kid
01:05:58I mean, he was so wide-eyed
01:06:00And trying not to let on that it was his first time
01:06:05Yeah, I didn't really get his reaction until now
01:06:08I mean, he just
01:06:10Wanted to be normal and fit in
01:06:13Even on the subway to a baseball game
01:06:18That is true
01:06:21Mandla's always wanted to fit in with the masses
01:06:34May I ask you a question?
01:06:36Did you always want to be queen?
01:06:39Like every little girl's dream?
01:06:47Little girl dreams
01:06:49Have no place when you're royal
01:06:53You see, I met the king when I was only 16
01:06:56But as young as I was, I understood that my role
01:06:59First and foremost was to serve the nation
01:07:04Whereas you and Mandla
01:07:05You seem to have done everything back to front
01:07:08It's an approach I have yet to wrap my head around
01:07:11But if I'm being completely honest
01:07:15I don't know if that can sustain the monarchy
01:07:23Thank you so much for the opportunity to hear your perspective
01:07:28At first, it felt personal
01:07:31But now I realise it's not
01:07:48Your Majesty, it is time for you to get ready for your fittings for tomorrow's celebration
01:08:09Hi!
01:08:10Hey!
01:08:11This way ladies!
01:08:13What's all this?
01:08:14What's going on?
01:08:15This is all for you!
01:08:16For the party!
01:08:18For me?
01:08:18Mmhmm
01:08:20Are you kidding?
01:08:21Okay, you're gonna have to try it
01:08:22Order this one
01:08:23I'm next
01:08:25Go on
01:08:28Have fun
01:08:29I'm gonna have fun
01:08:31I'm gonna have to try it
01:08:31Yeah
01:08:32Woop woop
01:08:32Tell me what can this be
01:08:35Wonderful and carefree
01:08:39Happiness flowing everywhere
01:08:43Excited to be here
01:08:47Let the rays of the sun shine over me
01:08:51Shine your light, shine your light, shine your light
01:08:55Now
01:08:57I'm feeling free, shining bright, shining bright, shining bright
01:09:03Wow, Riley
01:09:07This, this is the one
01:09:10You look beautiful
01:09:17With shender
01:09:17eyebrows
01:09:19Let the rays of the sun shine over me
01:09:24For the light of the rain
01:09:24l
01:09:24y
01:10:01You look beautiful.
01:10:06You look handsome yourself?
01:10:08Or should I say, princely?
01:10:12Shall we?
01:10:15Yes.
01:10:17It's time to introduce a special person to some special people.
01:10:30Wow, this is so beautiful.
01:10:32Oh my goodness, look at this.
01:10:41Look at you too.
01:10:43You look amazing.
01:10:45So do you.
01:10:46Cheers.
01:10:47Cheers.
01:10:48Brother.
01:10:48Good?
01:10:49Mm-hmm.
01:10:50Cheers.
01:10:50You look lovely.
01:10:51Okay, and that, I think you need to say hello to your guests.
01:10:54Yes, yes, you're right.
01:10:55I do, and I'm seeing a few familiar faces.
01:10:58Let me introduce you to some people, okay?
01:11:00Okay, good luck.
01:11:01All right.
01:11:02Here we go.
01:11:03John.
01:11:05Good to see you, man.
01:11:07I see you brought the family, guys.
01:11:08Good to see you.
01:11:09I think it's really going well.
01:11:10Yeah, all right.
01:11:14Good evening.
01:11:16What's that?
01:11:16Hi, Hannah.
01:11:17How don't you look lovely?
01:11:19So do you.
01:11:20Oh, I do.
01:11:24Oh, you must meet this lady, Mrs. T.
01:11:27A very special lady.
01:11:29Mrs. T!
01:11:31Come on, sir.
01:11:33Oh!
01:11:34Because your brother introducing an American to the guests must be so confused.
01:11:39Please don't cause any problems for them tonight.
01:11:42I don't ever do that.
01:11:43It's nice all about the king and his queen.
01:11:46Sure.
01:11:47Excuse me.
01:11:48Oh.
01:11:49The ones I hear will follow in the footsteps of his parents.
01:11:53Oh, yes.
01:11:54That's very true, Mrs. T.
01:11:56Mrs. T over here was my carer.
01:11:58When my mother was at the peak of her job and her role, and, you know,
01:12:02she couldn't attend to Nandi and I, she practically raised me.
01:12:08All the way to boarding school.
01:12:10She was right there.
01:12:11So she's a bit biased, right?
01:12:14Mrs. T, thank you so much for celebrating this day with my family.
01:12:19I really missed you.
01:12:20Oh, me too.
01:12:22Oh, my God.
01:12:23Mwah.
01:12:26Ladies and gentlemen, if I may, I'll admit I'm tempted to hold your attention
01:12:31a little longer than necessary, if it means we all appreciate my new skin care routine.
01:12:40I do exfoliate.
01:12:43But on this grand occasion of the 40th anniversary, it is my pleasure and honour to introduce to
01:12:50you, your King and Queen.
01:13:03The Queen and I welcome you all.
01:13:06It's our pleasure to have you as part of our 40th wedding anniversary.
01:13:11We are so blessed to have you all in our lives, and it is an honour to celebrate with you.
01:13:18We are also happy to have all of our family here.
01:13:22Our son, our daughter, and you, rightly.
01:13:25You are family.
01:13:28Now, please, ladies and gentlemen, let's raise our glasses.
01:13:34To my Queen, your Queen.
01:13:38Cheers.
01:13:39Salud, mother.
01:13:40Cheers, baby.
01:13:41Cheers.
01:13:43Ladies and gentlemen, let's celebrate.
01:13:46Yeah.
01:13:50Oh, it's Sonia.
01:13:52You know what?
01:13:52I have to go take this.
01:13:54Is everything okay?
01:13:54Yeah, no, everything is okay.
01:13:56I just need to go call her.
01:13:57Would you, can you take that for me?
01:13:58Yeah, I'm good.
01:13:59All right, just come back quickly, okay?
01:14:01Yeah.
01:14:01Because we've got the walls, too.
01:14:02I'll be back.
01:14:03All right.
01:14:03I'll see you.
01:14:04Why didn't they give a name?
01:14:06The only thing that Alex sent over was, like, a logo or something.
01:14:10How is that supposed to help?
01:14:11Yeah, exactly.
01:14:13I'm going to text it to you now.
01:14:14Maybe you can figure out who it is?
01:14:16Yeah, yeah, listen.
01:14:17Um, I know things are a bit strange between us, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate
01:14:23you connecting me to your brother about the bookstore.
01:14:25That was really nice of you.
01:14:27It's not a problem.
01:14:29We've always been there for each other.
01:14:32I mean it, Ayanda.
01:14:35I don't know anyone who'd be willing to do what you did for someone they didn't know.
01:14:39And that's the thing you don't get.
01:14:41I'm not just anyone.
01:14:43What more would it take for you to see that I care for you and your family?
01:14:49Please don't go there.
01:15:06What about the plans we had?
01:15:08The dreams we held?
01:15:10The dreams we held?
01:15:12To those no longer matter.
01:15:15You will find someone.
01:15:18Someone who will love you and adore you, Ayanda.
01:15:21Someone you can build a future with.
01:15:23I'm just not that guy.
01:15:24Sixteen years, Mandla.
01:15:27Does that not count for anything?
01:15:28It does.
01:15:29It sure doesn't feel like it.
01:15:33I feel like the only one trapped in the past.
01:15:36I hold those memories too.
01:15:38You do?
01:15:40And then let's create both those memories.
01:15:48Riley.
01:15:49Riley.
01:15:50Riley.
01:15:51So, excuse me.
01:16:13Riley.
01:16:14Guy.
01:16:17Riley.
01:16:19Riley.
01:16:20No, I don't want to see you.
01:16:21No, we've been together, what, three years?
01:16:24I feel like I don't even know you.
01:16:26I am done.
01:16:27Wait.
01:16:28No, I am done.
01:16:30Okay, wait.
01:16:33I don't want to say anything.
01:16:36I just want to apologize.
01:16:40Riley.
01:16:41I am sorry.
01:16:45Riley, stop.
01:16:46I saw you kiss her.
01:16:48There was no kiss.
01:16:50She leaned into me and tried to kiss me, Riley, and nothing happened.
01:16:56All right?
01:16:59Riley, I just love you.
01:17:03You just, you have to start believing me when I say this, okay?
01:17:10And what about the building?
01:17:15I saw the papers on your desk.
01:17:17I put two and two together.
01:17:20And I figured out that you could have just come to me with your problems.
01:17:24But you didn't.
01:17:25Why didn't you come to me with this?
01:17:27Because I didn't want to have to tell you.
01:17:29I wanted to do it on my own.
01:17:31That's important to me.
01:17:33Okay, okay, okay, okay.
01:17:34I understand that.
01:17:35I understand.
01:17:38I'm sorry that I went behind your back about this.
01:17:41I shouldn't even have reached out to Ayanda.
01:17:43I should have thought better than that.
01:17:44But her brother is a successful property broker in L.A.
01:17:49And I needed her to reach out to him so he could buy this building for me because someone
01:17:54had put an offer on the building.
01:17:56And I needed that to be stopped before they closed the deal.
01:18:00That's why I did it, okay?
01:18:02Had I known that she would use that against me and she would sabotage our relationship,
01:18:07then I wouldn't even have reached out to her.
01:18:10I wouldn't have, okay?
01:18:16That's the truth.
01:18:17I wish you could have just been honest from the very beginning.
01:18:22And that's my problem.
01:18:25I don't communicate these things.
01:18:28That's where I mess up.
01:18:31That's why I'm sorry.
01:18:45Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the waltz, a dance which I happen to be
01:18:51excellent at in my imagination.
01:18:55Right.
01:19:04Baby, I'm sorry for raising my voice at you.
01:19:11No more secrets.
01:19:14No more.
01:19:15I promise.
01:19:51Tonight, we have the absolute honor of having our waltz opened for us by His Majesty King
01:19:57Chidike and our Queen, Her Majesty Queen Noban.
01:20:27Thank you, Bonnie.
01:20:28I don't know.
01:21:14Listen, I want to talk to you about something.
01:21:18This week, you mentioned that I'm no longer the same man that you once knew.
01:21:26I just want to reassure you that I'm exactly the man that you fell in love with.
01:21:34And nothing's changed.
01:21:48Riley, I love the man that I am when I'm with you.
01:21:53I love everything that you've brought to this family.
01:21:58It's for these reasons and more.
01:22:06And I want you to do me the honor, Riley Stevenson.
01:22:15Riley, will you marry me?
01:22:20Yes.
01:22:21Oh, yes.
01:22:22Yes.
01:22:29You said yes?
01:22:31Yes!
01:22:31She said yes!
01:22:38I love you.
01:22:40I love you.
01:22:43I love you.
01:23:20I love you.
