00:00:28X-Men
00:00:56X-Men
00:00:59Might I suggest Prince Desmond and Princess Coralina for the time being?
00:01:05Would that be amenable, Your Highness?
00:01:06Yes, excellent suggestion, Your Highness.
00:01:08Wonderful.
00:01:10Please, go ahead.
00:01:10Very well, Prince Desmond.
00:01:12Would you raise your chin if it's so?
00:01:18Could I possibly get a touch-up?
00:01:25Sir, I've drafted an article for the media.
00:01:29Clear, please.
00:01:32After some intros, it reads,
00:01:34The royal houses of the monarchy of Vostieri and the kingdom of Androbia
00:01:40announce the merging of their royal lines
00:01:44with the engagement of the crown princess Coralina Eugenia of Vostieri
00:01:49to crown Prince Desmond Carlisle.
00:01:51Both houses hope this joyous occasion will forge a path towards reunification,
00:01:57thus easing centuries-old tensions regarding the ownership of the Alcinian province.
00:02:03Yes, that's fine, although we should perhaps include something about the date,
00:02:06say that the wedding takes place in two months.
00:02:08Oh, and perhaps a cheerful mention of the historical and beautiful Castler Loris,
00:02:13the location of the Naptuals.
00:02:14Both prized suggestions.
00:02:16Princess Coralina, perhaps you could move your hand into his arms
00:02:20so that we can see the Aeroa Alexandrite.
00:02:23Quite. May I?
00:02:26Here we go.
00:02:31Perfect.
00:02:32I believe we have it.
00:02:53Everything all right there, Lippon?
00:02:54Never better, sir.
00:02:55Merely attending to something that was crying out to be done.
00:02:58You seem a little upset by this turn of events.
00:03:00I find this deeply offensive for two reasons, sir.
00:03:04Firstly, it is a breach of protocol of the highest order.
00:03:06And secondly, if royalty cannot be expected to hold their commitments,
00:03:10what example does that set for the rest of us?
00:03:12But here I am,
00:03:14not attending to your heartbreak after such treacherous perfidy.
00:03:18How you must feel having a fiancé so callously break off your engagement by eloping with a plumber.
00:03:26You must be devastated.
00:03:28As devastated as one can be about someone they've only met two and a half times, I suppose.
00:03:32How can one meet someone half a time?
00:03:34Oh, there was a video call kept freezing.
00:03:36Very awkward.
00:03:42Do try to keep in mind, Edwin, that this marriage was purely a diplomatic union
00:03:46to shore up political relations between the two countries.
00:03:49It was arranged by her grandfathers long before we were even born.
00:03:52I do worry, though, without the merger of the two houses where this territorial dispute might lead.
00:03:57Still, she returned the ring promptly.
00:04:00Please make sure that gets back to the royal vault.
00:04:02Of course, sir.
00:04:03Your parents are expecting you at breakfast.
00:04:05Be warned.
00:04:07Your father is not taking this as calmly as you, sir.
00:04:12Betrayal!
00:04:14Utter betrayal!
00:04:15This is an outright provocation!
00:04:17I hardly think it's up there with the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, father.
00:04:21Sorry, darling.
00:04:22Who's been killed?
00:04:24Our student fellow, Mama of World War I.
00:04:26Oh.
00:04:27If things get worse, I'm sure the Vostieres could blame us for that, too.
00:04:31Although one might wonder how much this is political and how much this is personal.
00:04:37Moncarr, were you not once friends with King Winston?
00:04:42Well, that was when we were schoolboys.
00:04:44Which seems entirely beside the point.
00:04:47His daughter has pushed us to the very brink.
00:04:51Father, it's eight o'clock in the morning.
00:04:53I entreat you to find a diplomatic solution to this and try to think of a plan B.
00:04:58Oh.
00:05:18Princess Coralina's elopement was most untimely.
00:05:22I'm not sure what we're going to do now.
00:05:25It's just too bad that our Royal Air Force consists of two helicopters and the private jet.
00:05:30We won't be going to war, Edwin, if I can help it.
00:05:35There has to be a better solution.
00:05:41Didn't Princess Coralina have a younger sister?
00:05:44I believe so, Linus.
00:05:47Yes, I recall now. Princess Beatrix.
00:05:50She dropped out of sight after some public blowback to a picture in the press.
00:05:54Oh, yes. Yeah, I remember that picture, actually.
00:05:57If you scroll down, you'll notice there's a great deal of commentary on her appearance.
00:06:00Shouldn't last. The poor child was absolutely crucified. No wonder she disappeared.
00:06:03It was 20 years ago now.
00:06:09Do you want me to track her down, sir?
00:06:12Arrangements for a royal wedding, back underway.
00:06:16Do you know, I can't think of a better solution.
00:06:18You'd be asking her to make a great sacrifice.
00:06:21I know.
00:06:23Not as big a sacrifice as we would be asking our subjects to make if our fathers couldn't put aside
00:06:27centuries of grievances.
00:06:30Do it.
00:06:35Let's just hope she's not secretly dating the palace electrician.
00:06:41I'm hideous. Don't come in.
00:06:43I'm sure it's not that bad.
00:06:45Oh, trust me. It's an absolute disaster.
00:06:49I'm using my key.
00:06:51Big meeting today. We are so gonna land it.
00:06:55Oh, man. It smells awful in here.
00:06:57What happened? Why is it so dark?
00:07:00We need some light in this situation.
00:07:09Uh, honey.
00:07:13I am really sorry that this is happening.
00:07:18But I gave you the entire weekend to be a puddle. I even gave you my emergency breakup kit.
00:07:24It was an emergency. It was a breakup. It's in the name. I mean, Jared dumped me. By text.
00:07:33Ugh.
00:07:35For a reality show influencer.
00:07:39Well, I know. And he's a really big jerk. And has no idea what he lost.
00:07:46Well, what do we tell our girls? We are women of substance.
00:07:49And we overcome substantial challenges.
00:07:52Good girl.
00:07:53Now, I know this is bad timing, but we have that final presentation to the Brahmin League this morning.
00:07:58Yeah.
00:07:58And you know that this investment can secure our program for the next two years.
00:08:01I know. Yeah.
00:08:02Where's your phone? I need to double check the address.
00:08:04Oh, I-I don't exactly know where it is. I was afraid I'd misery dialed Jared.
00:08:09So probably between the pint of ice cream and the two boxes of milk tuts.
00:08:12Okay. Calling it.
00:08:22Oh, now I remember.
00:08:27Here.
00:08:29Uh, you have two dozen missed calls from the same number.
00:08:32Is it Jared? Realizing he made a terrible mistake?
00:08:35No. Uh, it is plus 56. That's a foreign prefix.
00:08:40You don't suppose there's a prince who needs your help getting millions of dollars out of the country, right?
00:08:46Anyway, we should get you into the shower, because we don't want the villagers to come with the pitchforks and
00:08:51the torches.
00:08:51Well, it's Boston. There's no villagers.
00:08:53We have Bruins fans. Same thing. Less forgiving.
00:09:03Uh, it's that same number calling. Do you want me to get it? I love messing with scammers.
00:09:07Oh, uh, no, you're good. Um, do you want to make us some coffees?
00:09:10Yeah. Sure. Okay.
00:09:15Hello?
00:09:15Hello?
00:09:17You have the wrong number.
00:09:18No problem.
00:09:21Who was it?
00:09:23Uh, you called it. Nigerian prince wants my help. But he works in Bitcoin now.
00:09:28Ha! Fancy.
00:09:31I'll call us an Uber.
00:09:35How long?
00:09:36Uh, it says it should be here.
00:09:38Oh.
00:09:38Oh, there.
00:09:38Okay.
00:09:43Uh, is that guy watching us through binoculars?
00:09:50Uh...
00:09:50Is this another bird watcher?
00:09:52Yeah. Birding is very hip right now.
00:10:07The Allied STEM Foundation for Young Women not only provides vital education and mentoring in STEM coursework for underserved girls,
00:10:15but we also teach leadership skills through workshops such as emotional intelligence, communication styles, and conflict resolution.
00:10:22This generous grant from the Brahmin League would be so beneficial.
00:10:26You wouldn't just be making a difference in the lives of these young women.
00:10:30You'd be investing in the future.
00:10:38I couldn't tell if Mrs. Standish loved or hated us.
00:10:41She was as expressive as dried concrete.
00:10:44You know, she reminded me of my paternal grandmother.
00:10:46She always did this thing where she...
00:10:47Don't look, but I think that same guy is across the park.
00:10:53Which guy?
00:10:53I told you not to look.
00:10:54Chloe, out of curiosity, how many true crime documentaries did you watch this weekend?
00:10:59Maybe half of one while I was doing laundry.
00:11:02Okay. Three.
00:11:03But I swear that guy followed us here.
00:11:07Okay. Well, let's, um...
00:11:09Let's just turn the corner.
00:11:10Good plan.
00:11:12Hmm.
00:11:14I'll send a simple handwritten thank you note and leave it at that.
00:11:17Ooh, breaking out the stationery. I like it. Very classy.
00:11:20Well, we just don't want her to think we're desperate.
00:11:22Aren't we desperate, though? No.
00:11:24We'll give it a couple of months and we'll be desperate adjacent.
00:11:27Ha!
00:11:37Uh...
00:11:38I know you think I'm being paranoid, but there is a black van following us.
00:11:43No, no, don't turn around. Jeez, you would be the worst spy ever.
00:11:47Um...
00:11:48Well, I'm sure there's no reason to panic. Just yet.
00:11:53Uh, why don't we cut through here?
00:11:55We are definitely being followed. I should have really, really, really paid those parking tickets.
00:12:01Oh, wait! It went past!
00:12:03Okay, we're good. We'll just, uh, cross the street up here and cut through the park to the office.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Mom!
00:12:09My mom was right. I moved to the big city and now we're gonna end up on a date line!
00:12:13Okay, we'll just go the other way. Okay!
00:12:16This is real! We're gonna get kidnapped! We're murdered! We're kidnapped and murdered!
00:12:20Ah!
00:12:21Okay.
00:12:23I think I'm the one they want. You'll be fine. Just stay back.
00:12:26You will not get through to my friend unless you go through me first!
00:12:30Hiya!
00:12:34Votre Altesse Royale, we're the Androvia's mission diplomatical important.
00:12:38Huh?
00:12:39It's the most important part of our two countries that you accept to accompany us.
00:12:42I'll be with you, and I'm sure you'll leave my friend alone.
00:12:46You have my word, Votre Altesse.
00:12:49Wait, what is happening?!
00:12:51It's okay. I just need to go with them.
00:12:56Well, I'm not letting you get kidnapped without me!
00:13:01B, what's going on?
00:13:03Uh, I'm not exactly sure.
00:13:05Votre Altesse, je vous assure, ce n'est pas un enlèvement.
00:13:08Je crème en merci.
00:13:09Okay, that. Since when do you speak French?
00:13:12Okay, there are some details I never told you about me and my family.
00:13:17You said your family was boring.
00:13:19Wait. Are they in the Mafia?
00:13:22Have you been lying to me?
00:13:23No, they're not in the Mafia, and no, I haven't lied to you.
00:13:26And yes, my family is boring, just in a very specific way.
00:13:30Like, my mother, she's...
00:13:31You said she's a housewife who does volunteer work.
00:13:34Which is true. It's just that her house is kind of a palace.
00:13:37And she's kind of the queen there.
00:13:41Okay, so your mom is fancy and you guys have a big house.
00:13:45No, it's really a palace. Palace.
00:13:47But you said your dad was a government administrator.
00:13:49Right. It's just that my father is also the king of Vostieri.
00:13:57Which is technically an administrative position.
00:14:00So you're not Bea Halstead.
00:14:02No, no, I still am your best friend from sophomore year.
00:14:05It's just...
00:14:06My full name is Beatrix Ileana Halston Von Lenmore Arja.
00:14:11That some people refer to me as...
00:14:14Princess Beatrix.
00:14:15That makes me the bestie of Princess Beatrix of...
00:14:21How do you pronounce your country's name again?
00:14:31Oh, thank you.
00:14:33Are you sure you're a princess though?
00:14:36Because we like boxed wine.
00:14:38Also, we go to that discount pedicure place.
00:14:40So you don't sound like a princess.
00:14:42I took a year of intense diction classes to master your accent.
00:14:45Accent? I don't have an accent.
00:14:50Do I?
00:14:53Votre Altesse, could you stay here please?
00:15:01Wow.
00:15:02Do you think this is one of those kidnappings where we can get room service?
00:15:04We haven't actually been kidnapped.
00:15:06Oh, but when I tell the story, and I will tell the story,
00:15:09there will be kidnapping involved.
00:15:15Your Highness, I don't think he's the one you say that to.
00:15:18Your Royal Highness, it is my honor to introduce to you Prince Desmond,
00:15:22Crown Prince of Androvia.
00:15:24Seriously?
00:15:28Wow.
00:15:29Your Royal Highness.
00:15:33It is our great honor to make your acquaintance.
00:15:37Certainly.
00:15:38The pleasure is all ours, Your Majesty.
00:15:41May we present our companion, Miss Chloe Hargraves.
00:15:44Miss Hargraves.
00:15:45An honor to make your acquaintance as well.
00:15:47Likewise, I'm sure Your Gracious Majesty, Sire of Royal Football.
00:15:50That's not a thing.
00:15:50Okay, I panicked.
00:15:51We've been trying throughout the weekend, Princess, to make contact with you through phone calls and email.
00:15:56We were inconvenient as of the weekend, and not accepting correspondence.
00:16:00Understood.
00:16:01Well then, perhaps we might confirm more privately now.
00:16:06Prince Desmond.
00:16:09Since we are outnumbered, and at a political disadvantage,
00:16:12we would insist that our friend bear witness to whatever conversation shall ensue.
00:16:17Very well.
00:16:19Since the dissolution of a united Vestrovia some 300 years ago,
00:16:24there has been an ongoing dispute regarding rightful ownership of the Alcinian province and the castle Allura.
00:16:29It is our hope that Her Highness is aware of elevated tensions between Androvia and Vostieri on this matter.
00:16:36Is it the intention of His Highness to educate us on the history and situation in our own homeland?
00:16:43Well, given that Her Highness has been absent from her royal duties for some 20 years,
00:16:48one was not to presume anything about what sort of connection she may or may not have with Vostieri.
00:16:53As a matter of fact, we are fully aware of the Crown Prince's failed engagement to our sister, Coralina.
00:16:58May we offer our belated congratulations and condolences.
00:17:01How very kind of you, Highness.
00:17:03Although perhaps that failure is a matter best discussed with one's own sister.
00:17:07And when doing so, please do extend our heartiest congratulations on her recent nuptials.
00:17:11To a plumber, I believe.
00:17:13Indeed. It will be so lovely having a member of the royal family who actually has a useful skill.
00:17:18But I doubt His Majesty came all this way to discuss failed engagements.
00:17:22We can't help but wonder if there is perhaps a point to this meeting.
00:17:26Indeed there is. In fact, the entire point of the aforementioned failed engagement
00:17:31was to form an alliance through marriage between the ruling houses of Duvalier and Vostieri
00:17:36in the hopes that we might form a legitimate path towards a reunited Vestrovia
00:17:40and thus prevent further escalation of tensions.
00:17:43Understood. But since that plan did not come to fruition,
00:17:46we are loath to consider what alternative might be proposed.
00:17:48Interesting choice of verbiage.
00:17:59Perhaps, in the light of the state of this meeting,
00:18:03His Highness may prefer not to proceed.
00:18:07His Highness has very little choice.
00:18:21Since Princess Coralina was required to abdicate her claim to the throne by marrying a commoner,
00:18:27it would seem that you are now Crown Princess,
00:18:29and as Crown Prince of Androvia.
00:18:32It is my great honor to most graciously seek your hand in marriage.
00:19:03So that happened.
00:19:05Okay, what is with all the accents? I've known you for 20 years.
00:19:08Have you been pretending this whole time? Who's the real you?
00:19:11This is Bea, your best friend since college.
00:19:15This is Princess Beatrix Eliana Halston von Lindbergh of Jard of Vostieri.
00:19:21And I suppose this is me, Beatrix, who is also in a bit of a pickle.
00:19:29It must be exhausting to be all of those people. Just be you.
00:19:33Oh, thank goodness.
00:19:34Besides, I don't think you're in a pickle.
00:19:36Friday, your boyfriend dumps you by text,
00:19:38and then Monday, another guy flies 2,000 miles to propose to you.
00:19:42And not just any other guy. A Crown Prince proposed to you.
00:19:46Best rebound ever.
00:19:48And you turn him down cold. You truly are a girl boss.
00:19:53Ugh, Androvians. They're so pushy and arrogant.
00:19:56I bet it was his grandfather who came up with the age-old solution of intermarriage in the first place.
00:20:00Is that really the only option?
00:20:02My sister says there's a summit between our two kingdoms in a few days,
00:20:05so surely my father will come up with a better solution than marrying me off to some polo-playing prince.
00:20:10Is there a chance that maybe you're judging him a little bit harshly?
00:20:19Look at this.
00:20:21Okay.
00:20:22There he is, looking princely, and...
00:20:25Wait.
00:20:25Is that your sister?
00:20:26She's so pretty.
00:20:28Right?
00:20:28Yeah, I've only heard that my whole childhood.
00:20:31Your sister's so pretty.
00:20:32Touched a nerve, did we?
00:20:33Sorry.
00:20:34But that's not the photo I'm talking about.
00:20:37It's, um...
00:20:38It's this one.
00:20:39What?
00:20:40This one, and this one, and this one.
00:20:43Okay, I don't think I've actually ever seen anyone playing polo before.
00:20:47Do you remember in college when we vowed never to date a golf bro?
00:20:50Ugh, golf.
00:20:52Well, polo bros, they're like a hundred times worse.
00:20:54And I'm sure he's the type who never shuts up about it.
00:20:57He looks pretty cute on a horse, though.
00:21:01Oh, the Vostiaries, they're all so pushy and arrogant.
00:21:04One might have thought that the princess would have been much more appreciative given all the trouble you've gone to.
00:21:10I mean, haven't I kept a low profile?
00:21:11Indeed, just the private jet.
00:21:13Skeletal staff.
00:21:14Of twelve?
00:21:15I've taken all the trouble to come here completely incognito and meet this rogue princess
00:21:19to offer her the only way that I can see out of a dire situation, only to be informed that
00:21:24she is inconvenienced.
00:21:25In my opinion, sir, when she said she must politely decline, I didn't think she was being that polite.
00:21:37Then again, sir, it seems your father has agreed to a summit meeting with King Winston.
00:21:42Perhaps clearer heads will prevail at last.
00:21:45One can only hope, Edwin.
00:22:07and Mr Tuganyiensиль will prevail at last.
00:22:07What, can you see in building in the world?
00:22:07Please, let me know what that means.
00:22:08The champion is right.
00:22:09The champion is right.اذle
00:22:35Witchman, it's been ages since I've seen you in person.
00:22:39And yet, somehow, not long enough. You're looking so much older.
00:22:44Some of us are comfortable in our own skin.
00:22:48Speaking of your skin, I'm sure Lupinia would love the name of your plastic surgeon.
00:22:53Yohannesis, might I suggest we start with an official photograph?
00:22:58Happy to.
00:22:59Certainly.
00:23:04Might I suggest as well shaking of hands?
00:23:13Why, Winston, your handshake feels just as weak as when we were boys in boarding school.
00:23:19Would you say as weak as your economic recovery?
00:23:22Or as weak as your foreign policy?
00:23:25Well, certainly nothing would be as weak as your central bank.
00:23:30That bad, huh?
00:23:32I told Papa not to let King Richmond push his buttons.
00:23:37Papa said, he's not a machine. He doesn't have buttons.
00:23:40It's never been great with metaphors.
00:23:43We are quite a literal people.
00:23:45Well, since the summit was a failure, that does leave you in a rather delicate position,
00:23:50Monchu.
00:23:52If you were to reconsider and accept the Prince's proposal, it might help settle things.
00:23:57Just until there could be a diplomatic solution.
00:24:00I realize I have no room to tell you what to do.
00:24:03And I'm so sorry I didn't give you any warning before my elopement.
00:24:07But it was sudden and crazy and perhaps the first unpremeditated selfish thing I've ever done.
00:24:15Are you having regrets?
00:24:16Are you kidding?
00:24:19This is the happiest I've been in my entire life.
00:24:23Je suis très content pour toi.
00:24:25I won't begrudge you that.
00:24:26I'm not thrilled by the change in my situation, but you've allowed me to live a very private life for
00:24:31a very long time.
00:24:33I suppose I could reconsider and accept his proposal, but only in the hopes that we can come to a
00:24:39better solution.
00:24:40You are being most gracious about all of this.
00:24:43I just want you to know it's not lost on me, Francine.
00:24:48I appreciate that.
00:24:51Somebody got croissants from Monica!
00:24:55I've got to go, but please give my love to mommy and papa, okay?
00:25:00When you used to say that your sister was a princess, I thought she was just spoiled.
00:25:04But now that I know she's an actual princess, it's kind of weird.
00:25:07Things are definitely weird, and the summit, not a success.
00:25:10So does that mean you're reconsidering the engagement?
00:25:12I think I have to.
00:25:14Come on, what do we tell our girls?
00:25:16Once we decide what needs to be done, we do it.
00:25:20Cheers.
00:25:21Cheers.
00:25:30Cheers.
00:25:41Cheers.
00:25:49Everybody's waiting
00:25:53Greetings, Your Highness.
00:25:55Prince Desmond is momentarily detained.
00:25:58I see.
00:25:59Are we sure this isn't one of those things where I'm to be kept waiting as a subtle power play?
00:26:04Honestly, Your Highness, do you read this much into every interaction?
00:26:08Only one's this fraught.
00:26:09How refreshingly blunt you are.
00:26:11And how craftily ironic you are.
00:26:13Yeah, I don't know if this is an attempt to intimidate me or charm me.
00:26:17It is my attempt to cut through the royal double talk.
00:26:20If it's charm you're looking for, you have the wrong sister.
00:26:25Welcome.
00:26:28Would Your Highness care to join us?
00:26:30Uh, are we meeting in your bedroom?
00:26:34Oh, goodness, no.
00:26:36We thought we might have supper on the balcony with Your Highness.
00:26:40Indeed.
00:26:41But in the interest of direct communication, may we please stop speaking in the royal we?
00:26:49Yes, we can.
00:26:52I mean, yes, you and I can.
00:26:56Please.
00:27:12Um, thank you.
00:27:20Oh, no, wait.
00:27:21Sorry, I'm confused.
00:27:23I was told that you had reconsidered my proposal.
00:27:26Well, yes, in light of the failure of the recent summit, I find myself so inclined.
00:27:30Okay.
00:27:31It's just, you surprised me.
00:27:34Um, I thought we'd go out on a date.
00:27:37I think we're a little bit beyond dating territory, aren't we?
00:27:40Yes, but just something a little more romantic.
00:27:45Ah.
00:27:53Candles.
00:27:54The moonlight.
00:27:56Those little flowers.
00:27:58Well, this was romantic.
00:28:01Hmm, it's fine.
00:28:03Princess, I may be naive when it comes to affairs of the heart, but I do know enough to know
00:28:06that when a woman says something is fine, then it doesn't mean it's good.
00:28:10I did put some thought into this.
00:28:12Yes, your waitstaffed is a lovely job.
00:28:15Now, why does that sound like a slight?
00:28:16I don't want to argue.
00:28:17It was definitely a slight.
00:28:18I just thought we could go out to a restaurant, that's all.
00:28:20A restaurant?
00:28:22I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble even picturing what that would look like.
00:28:27I suppose we could ask Edwin to put together a security detail.
00:28:30Could we, um, discuss this privately?
00:28:34By all means.
00:28:37Ah.
00:28:37Ah, would you mind giving us a few moments?
00:28:46I'm sorry, I'm just attended on so often I forget that they're even there.
00:28:51Let's run out for pizza.
00:28:52I'm sorry, Princess, I don't think you understood.
00:28:54I'm saying that we can't do that without security.
00:28:56No, I don't think you understand.
00:28:57Where does that door go?
00:28:59Um, according to the security briefing, to some service elevator, I think.
00:29:03So?
00:29:04Let's run out for pizza!
00:29:06Really?
00:29:07Could we really do that?
00:29:09Look, in Boston, I'm a nobody.
00:29:11At least until we announce our engagement.
00:29:13And I don't think anyone's up to date with princes from small European monarchies.
00:29:17Well, I have featured on some quite prominent eligible bachelor lists.
00:29:20If we scruff you up a bit,
00:29:23we might look like just a normal couple out for a date.
00:29:28It's just I've never really done anything like that before.
00:29:32Well, tonight might be our last chance.
00:29:47The princess and I are at a very delicate and tense stage of diplomatic negotiations.
00:29:53We'd very much like to be left alone.
00:29:55Indeed, sir.
00:29:57Alone, Edwin.
00:30:06Remember, if anyone asks, you're a PhD student.
00:30:08Why can't I just be a local Bostonian?
00:30:10Well, first, because they're called townies, and second, because you don't have sweats.
00:30:13I'll remind you that the purpose of this trip was to propose to a princess.
00:30:17I didn't think sweats would be appropriate.
00:30:18So you have sweats?
00:30:19No.
00:30:20Well, at least you know what those are, so that's encouraging.
00:30:22Oh, may I?
00:30:26There.
00:30:27Do I look like an astronomy student?
00:30:30Look at you with the backstory.
00:30:32Astronomer.
00:30:33I like it.
00:30:34Personal interest?
00:30:35I dabble.
00:30:36All right.
00:30:37Now and ever, I suppose.
00:30:38Exactly.
00:30:48Um, take a breath.
00:30:50We're sneaking out for pizza, not nuclear secrets.
00:30:55Where are we going, anyway?
00:30:57This place Chloe and I used to go in grad school.
00:31:00The pizza is so greasy, but it's so good, and the beer is cold.
00:31:03Oh, you like beer, right?
00:31:04Oh, yeah.
00:31:04I'll have you know that we have some excellent breweries in Antrovia, so yes, I do drink beer.
00:31:08How sheltered do you think I am?
00:31:10Two, please.
00:31:11Hmm.
00:31:12Hmm.
00:31:13Cool hats.
00:31:17That looks good on you.
00:31:20Hmm.
00:31:22Yes?
00:31:24Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:31:24I suppose I have to pay for this.
00:31:26Yes.
00:31:27Um, one second.
00:31:29I, uh, the thing is I don't actually have any money.
00:31:32I've never really carried a wallet before.
00:31:34And that's exactly how sheltered I think you are.
00:31:37Don't worry.
00:31:38Tonight's on me.
00:31:39Well, in that case, we'll take this as well.
00:31:52Thanks.
00:31:53So you're going off the tether?
00:31:59Hmm.
00:32:00Hmm.
00:32:00You know, I've never been allowed to make foolish mistakes or youthful indiscretions.
00:32:04My whole life's been so meticulously planned.
00:32:07Even my, um, polo playing, it's all orchestrated.
00:32:10Polo?
00:32:11But I've seen the pictures.
00:32:12No, it's an annual photo shoot against a green screen.
00:32:15In fact, I've fallen off so many horses that I'm expressly forbidden in the interest of protecting the royal lineage
00:32:20from being on horseback.
00:32:22But I thought Androbians were supposed to be legendary polo players.
00:32:29What's wrong?
00:32:31Nothing's wrong.
00:32:33You were right.
00:32:34This is absolutely fantastic.
00:32:36Okay.
00:32:43Oh, it's called bowling.
00:32:45Do you want to try it?
00:32:46Bowling, you say?
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:50Let's give it a go.
00:32:51Okay.
00:32:57Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:32:58Whoa.
00:32:59Whoa.
00:33:00That was good, right?
00:33:01It's been a while.
00:33:02Okay, your turn.
00:33:07Uh, you might want to step back a little bit.
00:33:11Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
00:33:14And remember what I told you.
00:33:15So you pull the ball up, wind back, take a few steps, and release.
00:33:31Are you kidding?
00:33:32That was great.
00:33:34Don't leave me hanging.
00:33:35Oh, yeah, that thing you do.
00:33:37Woo!
00:33:39Woo!
00:33:39Ah!
00:33:40Ah!
00:33:41Woo!
00:33:43Excuse me.
00:33:44When you knock all the things down, is that what you do?
00:33:46That you do that little dance?
00:33:48I mean, you know, it doesn't happen all the time.
00:33:50But when it does, you've got to celebrate.
00:33:51Mm-hmm.
00:33:52Oh.
00:33:56All righty.
00:34:03Hey!
00:34:04Well done.
00:34:07Don't leave me hanging.
00:34:10Am I picking up date night vibes?
00:34:12I know that look.
00:34:14I know that look.
00:34:15Hey, baby, come on.
00:34:16Let's buy them around.
00:34:17Oh, we just came back from our honeymoon ourselves, so stay right there.
00:34:26Let me strike in.
00:34:27You jerk.
00:34:29You've been messing with me this whole time.
00:34:31You assumed that I didn't know what bowling was.
00:34:33You didn't say you were good at it.
00:34:34I didn't say that I wasn't.
00:34:35But you think that I'm hopeless and sheltered.
00:34:38I'd say this one's on you.
00:34:39Okay, maybe I had that coming.
00:34:41I don't get it.
00:34:42You don't play polo, but you're this bowling champ.
00:34:45That's completely true.
00:34:47Yes, when mechanized bowling was first invented, it became something of a sensation in Androvia.
00:34:52And my great-grandfather, who insisted that we be modern in all things, he built a two-lane alley in
00:34:57the basement of the palace.
00:34:58I discovered it when I was in my early teens.
00:35:02When my royal duties became just too much to bear, that alley became a refuge for me.
00:35:10Well, considering how good you are, you must have spent a lot of time there.
00:35:14You're not the only one who had a difficult time adjusting.
00:35:18Here we go.
00:35:20Ah, thank you.
00:35:23Hey, guys, do you have a car or should we drop you off someplace?
00:35:29Oh, that's so nice of you, but I think that's our Uber just pulling around now.
00:35:32Oh, well, it was really fun meeting you guys.
00:35:34I hope we can get together again.
00:35:36We've been trying to make more couple friends.
00:35:38We could have couple friends.
00:35:40Well, you guys have our contacts, so let's try to keep in touch.
00:35:43All right.
00:35:44Well, that's my wife.
00:35:46Don't mind her, she's a hugger.
00:35:48Okay, bye.
00:35:49Great to meet you.
00:35:50You too.
00:35:51It was great to meet you both.
00:35:53Bye.
00:35:54Bye.
00:35:55This is just the night that I needed.
00:35:58I have to admit it, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun.
00:36:02Oh.
00:36:07Androby and Crown Prince unaccounted for.
00:36:09Kidnapping not ruled out claims personal assistant.
00:36:14I think we're in trouble.
00:36:17Where have you been, sir?
00:36:19I've been worried, sick, and entertaining the most dire possibilities.
00:36:22Such as what, Edmund?
00:36:24Kidnapping attempt?
00:36:25No, in fact, we just went out for a little pizza.
00:36:28Pizza can be delivered.
00:36:31This is quite unlike you, sir.
00:36:32I'm so sorry.
00:36:34This is my fault.
00:36:35No, it isn't.
00:36:36I went of my own free will.
00:36:38And for your information, I had rather a fantastic time.
00:36:41Well, that seems entirely beside the point.
00:36:44Well, I'll inform the king and queen that you have not been abducted, as feared.
00:36:49Now, it would seem that the best way to defuse this escalation intentions would be to announce your engagement as
00:36:57soon as possible.
00:36:58So, Princess Beatrice, you will be back here at 9 a.m. sharp for your official photo.
00:37:02I have a meeting.
00:37:03Your Highness, I realize this must all feel like a terrible inconvenience for you.
00:37:08But you were almost in the middle of an international incident this evening.
00:37:11Through no fault of her own.
00:37:12Be that as it may, we need to push things along here for the people of both your countries.
00:37:21Thank you, Your Highnesses.
00:37:24We'll send a car in the morning.
00:37:32No.
00:37:33Oh, that's ghastly, darling.
00:37:36My Cherie, you can't wear any of those.
00:37:38They'll think he's marrying an American.
00:37:40Seeing your wardrobe is making me feel quite sad, like we haven't supported you.
00:37:45Well, that was the whole point.
00:37:46I wanted to support myself.
00:37:48And I didn't mean to make you sad.
00:37:50This is supposed to be good news.
00:37:52Of course I'm pleased.
00:37:54You're doing your country a great service.
00:37:56And personally...
00:37:58I'm thrilled to have my baby closer to home.
00:38:00But I just hate to think...
00:38:01Hate to think what?
00:38:03I know how hard-won your privacy has been.
00:38:06I fear we're letting you down.
00:38:09Making sacrifices for the greater good is what we do, Mama.
00:38:13You married for part 20.
00:38:14What was that like?
00:38:15I'll admit.
00:38:16It was quite an adjustment.
00:38:18But then again, I was raised for this sort of thing.
00:38:21You, Ma Cherie, you're educated and accomplished, but...
00:38:24I fear...
00:38:25You're unprepared.
00:38:27Well, you've supported everything I've ever done,
00:38:28so that's the best preparation I could ever hope for.
00:38:31Perhaps.
00:38:32Then again...
00:38:33We've prepared Coralina.
00:38:34And look how that turned out.
00:38:38Oh, well, I hate to cut this short,
00:38:40but I think my car's going to arrive any minute.
00:38:41Give my love to Papa.
00:38:43Of course.
00:38:44Okay.
00:38:44Bisou, bisou.
00:38:53Right.
00:38:53You won't be needing whatever's in there.
00:38:56Follow me.
00:39:33How are we progressing?
00:39:35I just worry that all of this, it's not me.
00:39:39Well, Your Highness, if I may, you have not been you for over two decades.
00:39:44By that I mean Princess Beatrix of Faustieri.
00:39:47Now, she's in there somewhere, and we mean to find her, no matter how long it takes.
00:39:52Now, everyone, let's get this done.
00:39:58Let's get this done.
00:40:30Your Highnesses, can you get closer together, please?
00:40:37Can you switch sides, please?
00:40:44Could we see the Allura and Alexandrite, please?
00:41:04Oh, wow. Oh, hello. Hi. Excuse me. Excuse me. Get out of the way.
00:41:10I think they're finally leaving. I'm so glad you're here. It's been chaos. Thank you.
00:41:15I know. It's crazy, right? I kind of just missed that one guy with binoculars.
00:41:21Anyway, have you checked your work email? Suddenly, the Brahmin League can't wait to be in business with us.
00:41:26And you have invitations to a bunch of galas.
00:41:29Well, don't tell my mother. She'll send gowns.
00:41:31Ooh. You think she'll send me one?
00:41:33If only we could take advantage, but unfortunately, there's bigger issues brewing at home.
00:41:37Now that I know that this is in your home, I've been doing some research.
00:41:42Your foreign minister has been stoking quite a bit of nationalistic fervor, which seems ironic, considering the fact that the
00:41:49Androvians and Vostieres used to be one big country originally.
00:41:53So it's sort of like the Capulets and the Montagues or Ewing and Barnes, but if they were one big
00:41:59country originally, then why did they separate?
00:42:01Well, it was 300 years ago. The king died without a clear heir. Two families laid claim to the throne,
00:42:06and it created this big mess, which eventually divided the countries.
00:42:09So now, in order to calm the rhetoric, Desmond and I have to turn on the charm offensive.
00:42:17His jet leaves for Androvia tomorrow night. So, clear your schedule and pack your bags.
00:42:23You want me to come with you?
00:42:24No.
00:42:26I need you to come with me. I feel like things are about to get very weird. I need someone
00:42:31I can trust in my corner.
00:42:32And I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have as my maid of honor.
00:42:37Seriously? I'd be so honored! Yay!
00:42:41Are we off for the trip? In a scarf and big Jackie O sunglasses.
00:42:46Okay!
00:42:56Oh! Hi!
00:42:58Ah!
00:42:58Miss Hargraves, with a pleasure. I heard you were joining us.
00:43:03I sure am. It's hard to imagine flying without putting my shoes in a tub first.
00:43:07Indeed.
00:43:09Hello, Edwin.
00:43:09Your Highness.
00:43:11Ah, this will not do. This you might find a little more appropriate.
00:43:15Oh, that looks a bit much for travel.
00:43:18And the Androvian jet awaits us.
00:43:20Do you think it's as posh as we see in magazines? I love free food.
00:43:23We have all amenities on board. Food service, chilled champagne, and in-flight TV. In fact, His Highness has asked
00:43:29that we screen his favorite film this evening. The Big Lebowski.
00:43:33Huh. That tracks.
00:43:36The dude abides.
00:43:40Indeed, he does.
00:43:47Give us your best, My Highness, and Hightail for the van. Come on. Yes. Very good. Very good.
00:43:58Oh! Hello. Hi.
00:44:01Car, Graves. Huh?
00:44:03Car.
00:44:03Okay, sorry.
00:44:07I wanna be the king of it all. I wanna have a good time.
00:44:17Oh, my God.
00:44:20I want to have a good time
00:44:24I'll give it to you, get it to you, get it to you

00:49:37humphrey couldn't find the top off me for all the tulle
00:49:41but by the time reception were in full swing even i were laughing at it and i think it's good

00:50:18hurt
00:50:22enter
00:50:29thank you you can just set my tea on the side table there by all means your highness
00:50:37what what do you do in my bedroom what so it's okay for your kitchen maid to see you in
00:50:41your pajamas but
00:50:42not your own fiancee no it's just you startled me i wasn't expecting you why are you delivering my tea
00:50:49well i too couldn't sleep so i imposed myself on your kitchen staff ah
00:50:55and you managed to make it up the stairs all right without falling over
00:51:01why couldn't you sleep i'm just trying to take my mind off the lurking suspicion that responsibility
00:51:07for de-escalating this situation seems to have fallen entirely on our shoulders
00:51:12you know well there's a book i can give you called economies of conflict which might explain why
00:51:18i've read that book yeah i thought it was quite good you didn't tell me why you were not sleeping
00:51:24i'm making a mess of things no you're not this is how it's always been for me always a little
00:51:32off i'm trying to be better less how i am naturally i wish you wouldn't i like you just how
00:51:40you are
00:51:41you should teach a class on authenticity at princess school you laugh but that is part of the
00:51:47leadership program at my foundation yes i heard about that girls in stem isn't it tell me about it
00:51:54okay your highness
00:51:59but just remember you asked consider if you will the messages we send our children throughout history
00:52:08only half the population has ever been invited to adventure explore and engage in the world
00:52:14half the time actively creating issues in their wake you mean men like our grandfathers precisely
00:52:21now consider the stories we tell our girls it's usually some put upon princess forced to marry a
00:52:28prince i'm not sure how i feel about that description my point is the story usually ends at her marriage
00:52:39never to be spoken of again but what if the princess was prepared to think not just about
00:52:44her advantageous marriage but the problems facing her society and their possible solutions
00:52:50princess being metaphorical in our case of course
00:52:53in close case yes well so we opened it up to any girl who had the mind for it we
00:53:00gave them the
00:53:01opportunity the access the tools so we can reframe the narrative for the future interesting right
00:53:08wait which part the part where you an actual princess were forced to marry a prince because
00:53:15that's what princesses do when they're faced with problems in their societies
00:53:20except um this prince isn't very dull
00:53:42ready for this
00:53:50so
00:54:02so
00:54:03so
00:54:27is everything all right i'm just doing what you suggested and being authentically myself

00:56:56what a surprise it was upon hearing about your early arrival here
00:57:00i'm sure you know what it's like to suddenly crave the fresh air of the mountains
00:57:04especially since your capital is a seaport and does smell so of fish
00:57:09unlike your capital which smells of old cheese and disappointment
00:57:14your majesties may we invite you to proceed to the dining hall
00:57:18all right
00:57:20you smell
00:57:23prince desmond any comment on your second engagement in two months
00:57:28i need to say that i'm entirely delighted
00:57:30by the circumstances that have brought princess beatrix and i together
00:57:34and princess beatrix any comments on the fact that your approval ratings in androvia have gone up 73 percent
00:57:41has it
00:57:44i'm afraid things have been quite topsy-turvy lately so i wasn't aware
00:57:55princess
00:57:56princess koralina are you at all disappointed that you're sacrificing becoming queen by marrying a commoner
00:58:05well real love is never a sacrifice
00:58:18uh excuse me are you a member of one of the families
00:58:21no i'm chloe i'm the best friend of the bride
00:58:25miss hargraves at the risk of appearing chivalrous might i escort you inside
00:58:31will this start a rumor that we're dating
00:58:34perish the thought
00:58:44did you hear him the nerve implying that simply because our beautiful
00:58:51capital is also a seaport that it smells like fish absurd
00:58:57of course dear but then again you don't stray that far from the palace
00:59:03but i get out and about with my charity work at times and i dare say
00:59:07the docks on the far side of the harbor well
00:59:10they do have a certain aromatic quality
00:59:15oh darling do try the brie
00:59:21it's exquisite
00:59:26oh fosterian cheese
00:59:30some of the best in the world
00:59:33look at him down there so smug
00:59:37cheese and disappointment
00:59:39he's the one who'd know what disappointment smells like
00:59:42darling with all your fretting you're letting your ceviche get cold
00:59:45ceviche is always cold mama
00:59:48you're right which one do i mean oh i don't know offhand but you really must
00:59:53try it is quite delicious
00:59:55i do hope after the wedding we'll get more androvian seafood
01:00:02how are you adjusting to your return to public life
01:00:05now perhaps i can relate on
01:00:07a small level until i married your sister unless water was spraying from a faucet no one cared what i
01:00:14did
01:00:16i must say it's been quite disorienting i'm not used to being fussed over it's all this
01:00:21poking and prodding and focus on my appearance which takes on getting used to
01:00:25well perhaps i can sympathize i have found it a little unsettling for myself also
01:00:31you know the work i do is with my hands not my face why should this matter
01:00:35oh it matters right
01:00:49i suppose that dinner went as well as expected well at least no one threw anything
01:00:54small blessings right i just hope the wedding goes half as well it will

01:01:06whole

01:01:46it and i have no idea why i will have to keep up with this house
01:01:58so why are you not saying that your ave got everything not to be full
01:01:58i have no answer
01:01:59so that i don't make up your friends
01:02:00don't say you have to look nice
01:02:00but then i'll be out
01:02:01I can't take this part know your friends
01:02:22I have to stop these late-night rendezvous, or else people will start to talk, and they
01:02:27must have to get married.
01:02:28Can you imagine?
01:02:32I want to show you something.
01:02:35You know, I don't wish to alarm you, but when I was a boy, I heard a tale that this
01:02:41tower
01:02:41was haunted by my great-great-great-grandmother, Gertrude, who died here rather than surrender
01:02:47it to your lot, the Postieri's.
01:02:49Well, I was told the ghost was a distant cousin who died defending it from the Androvians.
01:02:54Oh.
01:02:56You don't suppose that perhaps our education was skewed in such a way as to paint in a more
01:03:02favourable light our respective families, do you?
01:03:04What?
01:03:05Are you implying that it wasn't entirely true when I was told the Bossieris basically invented
01:03:09civilisation?
01:03:10Just speculating.
01:03:13Did you hear that?
01:03:14what?
01:03:15Where are you taking me?
01:03:19You'll see.
01:03:22Yeah, no, but actually what?
01:03:26What?
01:03:27What?
01:03:32What?
01:03:32What?
01:03:34What?
01:03:36What?
01:03:39What?
01:03:40What?
01:03:41What?
01:03:43What?
01:03:44What's the secret?
01:03:44I'll take a look over the schematics of all the castles, certain that I would find a
01:03:48secret passage, leading to hidden treasure.
01:03:50Unfortunately, I never thought to look for hidden bowling alley.
01:03:53Oh.
01:04:02Who knows what we'll see?!
01:04:06But, you once told me that you wanted to study astronomy.
01:04:10Wait. It's early August. Did you bring me here to see the Poseid's?
01:04:16Tonight, the meteor shower is supposed to peak.
01:04:19Brilliant. Brilliant.
01:04:27There's one. Look, there's another one.
01:04:34I can't tell if you're just indulging me or you genuinely get excited every time you see another one.
01:04:39Surely you've seen shooting stars before.
01:04:41Of course I have.
01:04:43It doesn't matter if you've seen a hundred thousand of them.
01:04:47It doesn't mean that each one can't have its own unique beauty.
01:04:55I imagine that's what it's like to be in love.
01:04:59It doesn't matter if you've been with someone for years.
01:05:01Your heart still skips a beat every time they walk in the room.
01:05:06Imagine.
01:05:07You make it sound like you've never been in love before.
01:05:10I don't suppose I have.
01:05:14Not really.
01:05:16Of course there was an infatuation or two at university, but...
01:05:20The engagement.
01:05:22I was betrothed to your sister before I even knew what a crush was.
01:05:26Hm.
01:05:35I'm actually really sorry that didn't work out.
01:05:39I'm also really sorry you had to settle for the spare.
01:05:43My sister certainly would never trip over her hem.
01:05:47In fact, she's much better suited to all the required pageantry than I am.
01:05:52I can't say I'm disappointed.
01:06:00I also don't think your sister would ever remember some throwaway comment about astronomy.
01:06:05Bring me up on this roof to see this.
01:06:14Oh, look at that one.
01:06:18Next time, Desmond.
01:06:40Desmond, wake up.
01:06:41There's five more minutes.
01:06:42This is the mace's sleep I've had for weeks.
01:06:44Knowing Edwin is probably already alerted the authorities have done something nefarious to you.
01:06:48Let's hope nobody's noticed we've gone.
01:06:50Yes, let's hope.
01:06:55Allow me to help you with that.
01:07:07Stuck. We're trapped up here.
01:07:09What? What are we going to do?
01:07:13Oh. I was just kidding. Imagine how awkward that would have been there.
01:07:15Oh, you're evil. My heart stopped.
01:07:24Where have you two been? We've had the entire staff looking for you.
01:07:28Yes, actually, Edwin, the thing about that is that...
01:07:30I'm sorry. It's my fault.
01:07:31Again. Your Highness, you appear to be coming a bad influence.
01:07:35Edwin, I will remind you that you're speaking to your future Queen.
01:07:37Apologies, Your Highness, but your official pre-nuptial luncheon starts in less than three hours.
01:07:43Thus, there is a team of stylists awaiting for you in your quarters.
01:07:46I assumed this wedding was more about politics than presentation.
01:07:50Might I remind, Your Highness, that presentation is politics.
01:08:07The entire Ancillium province was clearly ceded to Androvia in the Treaty of 1628.
01:08:14That was a treaty that was never ratified. Even within Androvia, that treaty was widely dismissed.
01:08:20Oh. You're an expert on Androvian history now?
01:08:23It's a moot point to even try and bring that up, since the Joint Occupancy Accord agreed to, in 1923,
01:08:31set up a 99-year mutual tenancy which would have superseded it.
01:08:35That was most graciously proposed by my own grandfather, so I think I would know about the Accord of 1923.
01:08:44Then you would also know about the underlying agreement, that upon the Accord's expiration, ownership would revert to Vostieri.
01:08:52Nonsense! There was never an underlying agreement. That is pure fiction.
01:08:57The only fiction going on here is that we're supposed to believe that's your real hair.
01:09:02Or is the real fiction your waistline? How much spandex are you strapped into?
01:09:10That's my girl.
01:09:11Darling, that's not very ladylike.
01:09:14Well, something had to be done, Mother.
01:09:17With all due respect, what was supposed to be a purely ceremonial luncheon has yet again devolved into another failed
01:09:24summit.
01:09:25Now, if you would allow me, I believe I have a way through this.
01:09:29Chloe, we're doing a conflict resolution workshop.
01:09:31Awesome!
01:09:32This seems entirely irregular.
01:09:34Father, please.
01:09:35These outdated treaties that the two of you have been fighting over have done neither of our countries any good
01:09:39at all, have they?
01:09:40Your Majesties have both been given ample opportunity to find a solution and you haven't been able to.
01:09:44So, might I suggest that the Crown Princess is given the opportunity to provide some much-needed fresh perspective?
01:09:50Beatrix, dear, this is really not the appropriate time.
01:09:54Papa, darling, this is what Bea does.
01:09:58If you could all just let her speak, I think you'll find we have a rather gifted diplomat amongst us.
01:10:05You've got this.
01:10:09Can we get a whiteboard in here?
01:10:10I think we can all agree we'd like to resolve this matter and find a permanent solution, not kick it
01:10:15down the road like your grandparents did.
01:10:17Quite right.
01:10:19Excuse me, dear.
01:10:20Which word are we trying to come up with?
01:10:23There's not a right or a wrong word.
01:10:24It's just that you each have to use the letter you have to make a word.
01:10:28In this situation, what would a win look like to you?
01:10:31Not ever having to deal with this problem for the rest of my life.
01:10:34Okay.
01:10:35I'll put that down as a win.
01:10:36Okay, queens, let's do a trust ball.
01:10:38I'd like you to stand in front like this.
01:10:41I'm here for palace.
01:10:43And you're just going to fall back and trust that my mum is going to catch you.
01:10:48K for king.
01:10:50Service.
01:10:52Bird.
01:10:53I'm slightly worried that our liveries might clash.
01:10:56Edwin, please.
01:10:58Ball.
01:11:01Queens.
01:11:06I know you two went to boarding school together.
01:11:09King Richmond.
01:11:09I don't want you to think about it.
01:11:11I want you to just blurt out a word that comes to mind of when you first met my father.
01:11:17I suppose inspiring.
01:11:18Did you say inspiring?
01:11:20First word that came to mind.
01:11:22Why do you think that is?
01:11:23I was 11 years old.
01:11:25I was fairly sheltered and suddenly I was shipped off to a Swiss boarding school, which was supposed
01:11:33to make a man out of me, admittedly.
01:11:35I was terrified.
01:11:37But then I met Winston.
01:11:40He was a year older.
01:11:42He seemed to be the only boy there who could truly understand my position.
01:11:47He inspired me that I could make my way there.
01:11:57Father, what word comes to mind of when you first met King Richmond?
01:12:02I suppose comrade.
01:12:06It was awkward with the other boys.
01:12:08Given my royal standing, I felt quite isolated.
01:12:11So when Richmond arrived, I finally felt like I had a comrade.
01:12:17Someone I could confide in and team up with, as it were.
01:12:22We did make quite a team, didn't we, then?
01:12:25We did indeed.
01:12:26Do you remember the water tower adventure?
01:12:30Do I?
01:12:31I commissioned a painting of that very water tower.
01:12:34It hangs in my personal study.
01:12:36So how did it go from that to this current animosity?
01:12:41When I graduated, my father told me I had to put all that behind me and be a true leader.
01:12:46He drilled into me that the Androvians, or basically anyone on the other side of any border,
01:12:53can't be trusted.
01:12:56And do you think that mistrust has been a win for either of you?
01:13:08Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:13:10I am very pleased and, frankly, a little surprised,
01:13:14to announce that, after a private meeting this afternoon,
01:13:18King Richmond and King Winston have come to an agreement
01:13:21which would establish a mutual, shared occupancy of the Alcinian province,
01:13:27overseen by an independent council made up of appointees from both countries.
01:13:32Any questions?
01:13:38With our signatures, we enact the new treaty.
01:13:43We also announce a new free trade agreement between our two countries,
01:13:48which will benefit both economies.
01:13:53And as an added benefit,
01:13:56my son is not forced into a marriage of convenience.
01:14:00My daughter does not have to marry a man.
01:14:02She barely knows.
01:14:09And with that,
01:14:10I return this token of your affection.
01:14:14And I accept this ring
01:14:15and release you from your engagement to me.
01:14:23Ah, thank you very much.
01:14:27Well, it all went rather well.
01:14:28We both rather
01:14:30dodged a bullet there, didn't we?
01:14:32Yes.
01:14:34Margie for both of us, wasn't it?
01:14:38Well, it's been a trial.
01:14:44A diplomatic trial.
01:14:45You'll be relieved, I'm sure,
01:14:47to be able to go back to your old life in Boston.
01:14:49Oh, well, you sort of blew my cover there,
01:14:51so it's not exactly going to be the same.
01:14:54But having a higher profile is already benefiting Foundation,
01:14:57and all of this has taught me a new meaning of public service.
01:15:00A princess for the people.
01:15:02Sounds like a great story to teach children.
01:15:07I truly hope the next time you give that to someone,
01:15:09it's not out of political expediency,
01:15:12but because you're really in love.
01:15:17We hope for the best.
01:15:33It has been our pleasure to have met you.
01:15:39We feel it has been an honour.
01:15:57We feel it has been an honour.
01:16:14Fantastic news.
01:16:15We got the grant, and it's for more than what we asked for.
01:16:18They should fund us for the next five years.
01:16:21Me?
01:16:23Yeah, good.
01:16:24It's good.
01:16:29If we got this news back in Boston,
01:16:31we'd be jumping up and down right now.
01:16:32You're right.
01:16:34This is stupid.
01:16:36Sorry, that's great news.
01:16:37Except, here I am, just staring at my hand.
01:16:42Is there something wrong with it?
01:16:43Okay, fine.
01:16:44I didn't even like the ring anyway.
01:16:46It was too big and gaudy and totally not my style.
01:16:50And yet your hand sort of looks empty without it now.
01:16:54And that's stupid, right?
01:16:56No, it's not stupid.
01:16:59Especially because this isn't about the ring, is it?
01:17:03I've only known him a couple of weeks.
01:17:06What I'm feeling can't be real, right?
01:17:08Honey, it doesn't matter if it's a few weeks or months or years.
01:17:11If it's real, it's real.
01:17:13Did you tell him how you feel?
01:17:15No.
01:17:17He seemed relieved.
01:17:19So, I acted relieved.
01:17:22It's too late now.
01:17:23Now he's gone.
01:17:23Let's go after him.
01:17:24What?
01:17:25How would we...
01:17:26I have an idea.
01:17:27Meet you out front.
01:17:28In five minutes.
01:17:30Five minutes.
01:17:36Hey!
01:17:37Oh, great.
01:17:38I borrowed it from one of the staff.
01:17:39Get GPS up on your phone.
01:17:40If we can find a couple of shortcuts,
01:17:41we can beat it to the border.
01:17:43Let's do it.
01:17:43Let's do it!
01:17:48Okay.
01:17:49You good?
01:17:49Yeah.

01:20:45What's wrong? We're out of gas!
01:20:59Oh no. I've definitely missed him by now.
01:21:02Hey, we don't know that. You might still be able to catch him.
01:21:05You should go. You'll be okay?
01:21:07Yeah, yeah, go! Go!
01:21:10You go, girl!
01:21:49What are you doing? Where's your security thing, Ted?
01:21:51I gave them the slip like you taught me.
01:21:53Oh, God. I need to invest in some sweats.
01:21:56These are not the right shoes for this.
01:21:58What are you doing here?
01:22:03Those things I said last night.
01:22:05Last night?
01:22:06Look, I said that we dodged a bullet.
01:22:09But the truth is, I don't particularly want to dodge that bullet.
01:22:12You don't?
01:22:13No. And perhaps this is crazy.
01:22:15Like your father said, we hardly know each other.
01:22:17But I've never felt this way before.
01:22:19I'm completely in love with you.
01:22:23I feel the same way.
01:22:26I think we'll still have it.
01:22:28What are you doing?
01:22:34I'm asking this not because I'm the prince and you're the princess and it's our duty.
01:22:40But because I, Desmond, I'm truly in love with you, Beatrix.
01:22:45Will you marry me?
01:22:48I will marry you for exactly that reason.
01:22:51one.

01:24:02alice you did say you want a couple friends what oh shut up these are our
01:24:10friends from the bowling alley are you freaking kidding me what have we done what kind of chaos
01:24:19have we unleashed there's a wedding between two royal families and everyone's involved so you
01:24:25kind of expected an intimate affair just the two of us yes but seating 500 guests how are we going
01:24:30to do that and we really know who all these people are I mean this one for example Johnny Payne
01:24:36oh yes
01:24:37the heir to the glasswick dukedom he's the son of my uncle Willie that's on my mother's side I see
01:24:44and his plus one is a misprudent sort but why are they seated at a table with the Americans oh
01:24:50that
01:24:50was quite the scandal you see Willie went over to America had a secret wife and hidden there
01:24:54I see but shouldn't he be seated with his parents William and Dorothy he should be seated with his
