00:01:02X-Men
00:01:02X-Men
00:01:28X-Men
00:01:29Clear, please.
00:01:32After some interest, it reads,
00:01:35The 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 Arsenean 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 castle Eloris,
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 Elora Alexandrite.
00:02:23Quite. May I?
00:02:26Here we go.
00:02:30Perfect.
00:02:32I believe we have it.
00:02:53Everything all right there, Lippon?
00:02:54Never better, sir.
00:02:55Mely 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, not 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.
00:03:37Oh.
00:03:42Do try to keep in mind, Edwin, that this marriage was purely a diplomatic union to shore up political relations
00:03:47between 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, at least 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!
00:04:13Utter 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 Vostieris could blame us for that, too.
00:04:31Although one might wonder how much this is political and how much this is personal.
00:04:38Moncarr.
00:04:39Were 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.
00:05:00Oh.
00:05:01Oh.
00:05:08Oh.
00:05:09Oh.
00:05:10Oh.
00:05:11Oh.
00:05:12Oh.
00:05:12Oh.
00:05:15Oh.
00:05:21Oh.
00:05:31Oh.
00:05:32Oh.
00:05:32can help it. There has to be a better solution. Didn't Princess Coralina have a younger sister?
00:05:44I believe so, Your Highness. Yes, I recall now. Princess Beatrix. She dropped out of sight after
00:05:52some public blowback to a picture in the press. Oh, 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.
00:06:00You shouldn't laugh. 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? Arrangements for a royal wedding back underway.
00:06:16Do you know, I can't think of a better solution. You'll be asking her to make a great sacrifice.
00:06:21I know. Not as big a sacrifice as we would be asking our subjects to make if our fathers
00:06:26can't put aside centuries of grievances. Do it.
00:06:34Let'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. What happened? Why is it so dark?
00:07:00We need some light in this situation.
00:07:10Oh, honey. I 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.
00:07:29I mean, Jared dumped me. By text.
00:07:35For a reality show influencer.
00:07:39Well, I know. And he's a really big jerk.
00:07:44And 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. Now, I know this is bad timing, but we have that final presentation to the Brahmin League this
00:07:57morning. And 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 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,
00:08:44right?
00:08:46Anyway, we should get you into the shower, because we don't want the villagers to come
00:08:50with the pitchforks and the torches.
00:08:51Well, it's Boston. There's no villagers.
00:08:53We have Bruins fans.
00:08:54Oh, same thing. Less forgiving.
00:09:03Uh, it's that same number calling. Do you want me to get it?
00:09:05I 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.
00:09:11Okay.
00:09:15Hello?
00:09:21Who was it?
00:09:23Uh, you called it.
00:09:25Nigerian prince wants my help, but he works in Bitcoin now.
00:09:30Fancy.
00:09:31I'll call us an Uber.
00:09:35How long?
00:09:36Uh, it says it should be here.
00:09:38Oh, okay.
00:09:43Uh, is that guy watching us through binoculars?
00:09:48Uh, is 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
00:10:13coursework for underserved girls, but we also teach leadership skills through workshops such as
00:10:19emotional intelligence, communication styles, and conflict resolution.
00:10:22This generous grant from the Brahmin League would be so beneficial. You wouldn't just be making a
00:10:27difference in the lives of these young women. You'd be investing in the future. Thank you.
00:10:38I couldn't tell if Mrs. Standish loved or hated us. She was as expressive as dried concrete.
00:10:44You know, she reminded me of my paternal grandmother. She always did this thing where she-
00:10:47Don't look, but I think that same guy is across the park.
00:10:52Which guy?
00:10:53I told you not to look.
00:10:55Chloe, out of curiosity, how many true crime documentaries did you watch this weekend?
00:10:59Maybe half of one while I was doing laundry.
00:11:01Okay, three. But I swear that guy followed us here.
00:11:07Okay, well let's, um, let's just turn the corner.
00:11:10Good plan.
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?
00:11:23No. We'll get it in a couple of months and we'll be desperate adjacent.
00:11:36Uh, I know you think I'm being paranoid, but there is a black van following us.
00:11:43No, no, don't turn around. Geez, you would be the worst spy ever.
00:11:47Um, well, I'm sure there's no reason to panic just yet.
00:11:53Why 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 cross the street up here and cut through the park to the office.
00:12:07Okay.
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 or murdered. We're kidnapped and murdered.
00:12:21Okay. I 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.
00:12:49Wait, what is happening?
00:12:51It's okay. I just need to go with them.
00:12:55Well, I'm not letting you get kidnapped without me.
00:13:01B, what's going on?
00:13:03Uh, I'm not exactly sure.
00:13:08Okay, 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.
00:13:18Wait, are they in the mafia? Have 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. Like 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 and 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 Vastieri.
00:13:57Which is technically an administrative position.
00:14:00So you're not B. Halstead.
00:14:02No, no, I still am your best friend from sophomore year.
00:14:05It's just, my full name is Beatrix Illiana Halston von Lenmore Arja.
00:14:11Oh, that some people refer to me as Princess 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.
00:14:41I took a year of intense diction classes to master your accent.
00:14:45Accent? I don't have an accent.
00:14:49Do I?
00:15:00Wow, do 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, there will be kidnapping involved.
00:15:15Your Highness, I don't think he's the one you say that to.
00:15:18The Royal Highness, it is my honor to introduce to you Prince Desmond, Crown Prince of Androvian.
00:15:24Seriously?
00:15:29Wow.
00:15:29The Royal Highness.
00:15:33It is our great honor to make your acquaintance.
00:15:37Certainly, the pleasure is all ours, Your Majesty.
00:15:41May we present our companion, Miss Chloe Hargraves.
00:15:44Miss Hargraves, an honor to make your acquaintance as well.
00:15:47Likewise, I'm sure Your Gracious Majesty, Sire.
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, um, since we are outnumbered and at a political disadvantage, we would insist that our friend bear witness
00:16:14to whatever conversation shall ensue.
00:16:17Very well.
00:16:19Since the dissolution of a united Vestrovia some 300 years ago, there has been an ongoing dispute regarding rightful ownership
00:16:27of the Alcinian province and the Castle Allura.
00:16:30It 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, one was not to
00:16:49presume 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.
00:16:57May we offer our belated congratulations and condolences.
00:17:01How very kind of you, Your Highness. Although 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 for 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 and thus prevent further escalation of
00:17:42tensions.
00:17:43Understood. But since that plan did not come to fruition, we are loath to consider what alternative might be proposed.
00:17:49Interesting choice of verbiage.
00:17:59Perhaps in the light of the state of this meeting, His 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 and as Crown Prince of Androvia.
00:18:32It is my great honor to most graciously seek your hand in marriage.
00:18:38Ah!
00:18:40Ah!
00:18:41Ah!
00:18:42Ah!
00:18:43Ah!
00:18:44Ah!
00:18:44Ah!
00:18:45Ah!
00:18:46Ah!
00:18:46Ah!
00:18:47Ah!
00:18:49Ah!
00:18:50Ah!
00:18:58Ah!
00:18:58Ah!
00:19:03So that happened.
00:19:05Okay, what is with all the accents?
00:19:07I've known you for 20 years.
00:19:08Have you been pretending this whole time?
00:19:09Who's the real you?
00:19:11This is Bea, your best friend since college.
00:19:16This 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 picture.
00:19:29It must be exhausting to be all of those people.
00:19:32It must be exhausting to be all of those people.
00:19:32Just 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, and then Monday, another guy flies 2,000 miles to propose
00:19:42to you.
00:19:42And not just any other guy.
00:19:44A crown prince proposed to you.
00:19:46Best rebound ever.
00:19:48And you turn him down cold.
00:19:49You truly are a girl boss.
00:19:54Ugh, 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
00:19:59first 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
00:20:10prince.
00:20:10Is there a chance that maybe you're judging him a little bit harshly?
00:20:19Look at this.
00:20:21Okay, there he is, looking princely, and wait, is 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, it's this one.
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.
00:20:54I'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,
00:21:08given 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.
00:21:13Skeleton staff.
00:21:14Of 12?
00:21:15I've taken all the trouble to come here,
00:21:16completely incognito, and meet this rogue princess,
00:21:20to offer her the only way that I can see out of a dire situation,
00:21:23only to be informed that she is inconvenienced.
00:21:25In my opinion, sir, when she said she must politely decline,
00:21:29I 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.
00:21:46one.
00:21:56Bye.
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.
00:23:41It'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,
00:23:51Monchou.
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, Frangine.
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.
00:25:08And 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.
00:25:40Everybody's watching.
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 ones 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.
00:26:23Mmm.
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.
00:27:19Oh, no, wait.
00:27:21Sorry, I'm confused.
00:27:23I was told that you had reconsidered my proposal.
00:27:26Well, yes.
00:27:27In 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.
00:27:46Ah.
00:27:54Candles, the moonlight, those little flowers.
00:27:58Well, this was romantic.
00:28:01Hmm.
00:28:02It's fine.
00:28:02Princess, I may be naive when it comes to affairs of the heart,
00:28:05but I do know enough to know that when a woman says something is fine,
00:28:08then 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.
00:28:38Would you mind giving us a few moments?
00:28:41Yes.
00:28:42Yes.
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, let'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, we might look like just a normal couple out for a date.
00:29:27It'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.
00:29:57Edwin.
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 whenever, I suppose.
00:30:38Take a breath.
00:30:39Take 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, I'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.
00:31:13Cool hats.
00:31:17That looks good on you.
00:31:22Yes?
00:31:24Oh, yeah, I 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, tonight's on me.
00:31:39Well, in that case, we'll take this as well.
00:31:51Thanks.
00:31:53So you're going off the tether?
00:31:59You know, I've never been allowed to make foolish mistakes or youthful indiscretions.
00:32:04My whole life's been so meticulously planned.
00:32:07Given 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.
00:32:42Oh, 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.
00:33:07You 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.
00:33:43Excuse me, when 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, but when it does, you've got to celebrate.
00:33:51Mm-hmm.
00:33:52Oh.
00:33:56Okay.
00:34:03Hey!
00:34:04Oh, done.
00:34:07Don't leave me hanging.
00:34:10Am I picking up date night vibes?
00:34:13I 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.
00:34:26I've missed Reichen.
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, but 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.
00:34:59I 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 a 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. Don't mind her. She's a hugger.
00:35:48Okay, bye.
00:35:49Great to meet you.
00:35:51It was great to meet you both.
00:35:53Bye.
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.
00:36:07Androvian 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 have 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.
00:36:33I'm so sorry. This is my fault.
00:36:35No, it isn't.
00:36:35I 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 intention
00:36:54would be to announce your engagement as soon 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.
00:37:13Be 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 Sheree, 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...
00:38:02Hate 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 Sheree, you're educated and accomplished, but...
00:38:24I fear you're unprepared.
00:38:27Well, you've supported everything I've ever done,
00:38:29so 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,
00:38:39but 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.
00:38:54Well, you won't be needing whatever's in there.
00:38:56Follow me.
00:38:58Okay.
00:39:33How are we progressing?
00:39:35I just worry that all of this...
00:39:38It's not me.
00:39:39Well, Your Highness, if I may,
00:39:41you have not been you for over two decades.
00:39:43Now, by that I mean Princess Beatrix of Faustieri.
00:39:47Now, she's in there somewhere,
00:39:49and we mean to find her,
00:39:50no matter how long it takes.
00:39:52Now, everyone, let's get this done.
00:39:54Now, let's get this done.
00:40:30Your Highnesses,
00:40:32can you get closer together, please?
00:40:37Can you switch sides, please?
00:40:44Could we see the Allura and Alexandrite, please?
00:41:05Oh, hello.
00:41:06Hi.
00:41:07Excuse me.
00:41:08Excuse me.
00:41:08Get out of the way.
00:41:10I think they're finally leaving.
00:41:12I'm so glad you're here.
00:41:13It's been chaos.
00:41:15I know.
00:41:16It's crazy, right?
00:41:18I kind of just missed that one guy with binoculars.
00:41:21Anyway, have you checked your work email?
00:41:23Suddenly, 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.
00:41:30She'll send gowns.
00:41:31Ooh.
00:41:32You think she'll send me one?
00:41:33If only we could take advantage,
00:41:34but unfortunately,
00:41:35there's bigger issues brewing at home.
00:41:37Now that I know that this is in your home,
00:41:40I've been doing some research.
00:41:42Your foreign minister has been stoking
00:41:43quite a bit of nationalistic fervor,
00:41:45which seems ironic,
00:41:47considering the fact that the Androvians and Vostieres
00:41:50used to be one big country originally.
00:41:53So it's sort of like the Capulets and the Montagues
00:41:56or Ewing and Barnes.
00:41:58But if they were one big country originally,
00:42:00then why did they separate?
00:42:01Well, it was 300 years ago.
00:42:02The king died without a clear heir.
00:42:04Two families lay claim to the throne,
00:42:06and it created this big mess
00:42:07which eventually divided the countries.
00:42:09So now, in order to calm the rhetoric,
00:42:12Desmond and I have to turn on the charm offensive.
00:42:17His jet leaves for Androvia tomorrow night.
00:42:19So, 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.
00:42:28I feel like things are about to get very weird.
00:42:30I need someone I can trust in my corner.
00:42:32And I can't think of anyone else
00:42:35that I'd rather have as my maid of honor.
00:42:37Seriously?
00:42:38I'd be so honored!
00:42:40Yay!
00:42:41I'm showing off for the trip
00:42:42in a scarf and big Jackie O sunglasses.
00:42:46Okay.
00:42:56Oh, hi.
00:42:58Miss Hargraves, with a pleasure.
00:43:01I heard you were joining us.
00:43:03I sure am.
00:43:04It's hard to imagine flying without putting my shoes in a tub first.
00:43:07Indeed.
00:43:09Hello, Edwin.
00:43:10Your Highness.
00:43:11Ah, this will not do.
00:43:13This 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?
00:43:22I love free food.
00:43:24We have all amenities on board.
00:43:25Food service, chilled champagne, and in-flight TV.
00:43:28In fact, His Highness has asked
00:43:29that we screen his favorite film this evening.
00:43:32The Big Lebowski.
00:43:33Oh, that tracks.
00:43:37The dude abides.
00:43:40Indeed, he does.
00:43:47Just give us your best, My Highness.
00:43:48And high-tail for the van.
00:43:51Come on.
00:43:52Yes.
00:43:53Very good.
00:43:54Very good.
00:43:58Oh!
00:43:59Hello.
00:44:00Hi.
00:44:02Hargraves.
00:44:02Hi.
00:44:03Oh, sorry.
00:44:07I want to be the king of it all.
00:44:10I want to have a good time.
00:44:30Wow.
00:44:32Cool.
00:44:39Your Majesties, might I present my fiancée, Princess Beatrix Eliana Halston von Lindemann O'Jard of Ostieri.
00:44:50And Princess, might I introduce the royal family of Androvia, my father, King Richmond, and my mother, Queen Lupinia.
00:44:58It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances.
00:45:00You're quite a bit taller than the other one.
00:45:02Yes, Your Majesty. My apologies for that.
00:45:15Oh, that's quite all right. You don't need to unpack for me.
00:45:24Okay, please proceed.
00:45:31You know, there is a nice lady unpacking my underwear into a lavender-scented tissue paper drawer. I thought we
00:45:37were only staying one night.
00:45:38Well, we're supposed to do a tour of Castle Allure tomorrow.
00:45:41Oh.
00:45:42Oh.
00:45:42Oh, okay.
00:45:46Your Highness, Miss Hargraves. In an effort to win over Androvians, we planned a photo op for an hour from
00:45:53now. It will be very simple. You and the Prince will go out the front entry of the palace, descend
00:45:59the steps, and wave to a select group of locals and photographers who will be gathered outside of the gate.
00:46:06Then you will return to the palace. Easy as that.
00:46:09Should we perhaps go outside the gate and greet them personally?
00:46:12Goodness, no. We merely want them to get a look at you. We've timed it so the sun will be
00:46:17perfect for your angular... angles. But no selfies and there will be no tabloid photographers there. You will wear these.
00:46:27And this will be the gown you're wearing.
00:46:30That looks a tad long.
00:46:33Well, there won't be time for a proper hem. We'll get a seamstress to pop in a couple of stitches
00:46:38and hope for the best. All right?
00:46:44Whoa. He's like Cinderella's fairy godmother. If she didn't like Cinderella in the least.
00:46:49Hmm.
00:47:04Whoa!
00:47:21It's like being 13 all over again.
00:47:24Except this time, I'm a meme that will last forever.
00:47:27Hey, what do we tell our girls?
00:47:31You are the author of your own story.
00:47:34Don't let others control your narrative.
00:47:37Oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:39I'm jet-lagged, and I didn't expect tagging along with royalty to be so tiring.
00:47:44Also, that bit in there is calling my name.
00:47:46Did you know those sheets are hand-stitched by Italian nuns who are selected for their tiny hands?
00:47:52I looked it up.
00:47:53Okay, you go get some sleep.
00:47:55And remember, we'll laugh about this in the morning.
00:47:57Well, I hope so.
00:47:59Bye.
00:47:59Night-night.
00:48:10Night-night.
00:48:11Night-night.
00:48:49Oh, can I help you something, lass?
00:48:51Just, we're not supposed to have visitors this late in the kitchen.
00:48:55Oh, sorry to bother. I couldn't sleep and I thought maybe a cap of chamomile tea might help.
00:48:59Ah, you must be the American friend of the princess. You could have just rung down for it.
00:49:03Actually, I'm the princess friend of the American.
00:49:08Oh, I didn't recognise you, Your Highness.
00:49:11Well, you must have missed today's latest internet story.
00:49:14Don't worry about those photos. Come on.
00:49:18Oh, you're in luck. Cattle's still hot.
00:49:26You know, when I married my Humphrey, I didn't eat for days.
00:49:30And by the time the priests were giving us our vows, I faint dead away.
00:49:34Full garter over gums right off the altar.
00:49:37Humphrey couldn't find the top half of me for all the tulle.
00:49:41But by the time reception were in full swing, even I were laughing at it.
00:49:46And I think it's good for the people to see that royals are human too.
00:49:50If anyone's asking my opinion.
00:49:52PHONE RINGS
00:49:53Oh, sorry.
00:49:57How can I help you, Your Highness?
00:50:00Straight away, Your Highness. Kettle's just boiled.
00:50:05Would you allow me to take it?
00:50:07Look, we can't have a princess going about like a kitchen maid.
00:50:10Oh, no one will mind.
00:50:11And I am his fiancée after all.
00:50:15Well, against me better judgment, I don't suppose it could hurt.
00:50:22Enter.
00:50:30You can just set my tea on the side table then.
00:50:34By all means, Your Highness.
00:50:37What do you do in my bedroom?
00:50:39What, so it's okay for your kitchen maid to see you in your pyjamas,
00:50:42but not your own fiancée?
00:50:43No, it's just, you startled me.
00:50:45I wasn't expecting you.
00:50:47Why are you delivering my tea?
00:50:49Well, I too couldn't sleep, so I impose myself on your kitchen staff.
00:50:54Ah.
00:50:55And you managed to make it up the stairs, alright, without falling over?
00:51:01Why couldn't you sleep?
00:51:03I'm just trying to take my mind off the lurking suspicion
00:51:06that responsibility for de-escalating this situation
00:51:08seems to have fallen entirely on our shoulders.
00:51:12You know.
00:51:13Well, there's a book I can give you called Economies of Conflict,
00:51:16which might explain why.
00:51:18I've read that book.
00:51:20Yeah, I thought it was quite good.
00:51:22You didn't tell me why you were not sleeping.
00:51:24I'm making a mess of things.
00:51:26No, you're not.
00:51:27This is how it's always been for me.
00:51:29Always a little...
00:51:31off.
00:51:32I'm trying to be better.
00:51:35Less how I am, naturally.
00:51:37I wish you wouldn't.
00:51:39I like you just how you are.
00:51:42You should teach a class on authenticity at Princess School.
00:51:45You laugh, but that is part of the leadership program at my foundation.
00:51:49Yes, I heard about that.
00:51:50Girls in STEM, isn't it?
00:51:52Mm-hmm.
00:51:53Tell me about it.
00:51:54Okay, Your Highness.
00:51:57But...
00:52:00Just remember, you asked.
00:52:03Consider, if you will, the messages we send our children.
00:52:07Throughout history, only half the population has ever been invited
00:52:11to adventure, explore, and engage in the world.
00:52:14Half the time actively creating issues in their wake.
00:52:17You mean men like our grandfathers?
00:52:19Precisely.
00:52:21Now consider the stories we tell our girls.
00:52:25It's usually some put-upon princess forced to marry a dull prince.
00:52:29I'm not sure how I feel about that description.
00:52:33My point is...
00:52:35The story usually ends at her marriage.
00:52:39Never to be spoken of again.
00:52:41But what if the princess was prepared to think
00:52:43not just about her advantageous marriage,
00:52:46but the problems facing her society
00:52:49and their possible solutions?
00:52:51Princess being metaphorical in our case, of course.
00:52:53In Chloe's case.
00:52:54Yes.
00:52:56So we opened it up to any girl who had the mind for it.
00:53:00We gave them the opportunity, the access, the tools,
00:53:03so we can reframe the narrative for the future.
00:53:06Interesting.
00:53:07Right?
00:53:08Wait, which part?
00:53:10The part where you, an actual princess,
00:53:13were forced to marry a prince.
00:53:14Because that's what princesses do
00:53:16when they're faced with problems in their societies.
00:53:21Except, um...
00:53:22This prince isn't very dull.
00:53:43Ready for this?
00:53:44Yep.
00:53:46Yep.
00:54:11Get out!
00:54:12Get out!

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

00:58:44did you hear him
00:58:46the nerve
00:58:48implying that simply because our beautiful capital is also a seaport

01:00:11unless water was spraying from a faucet
01:00:13no one cared what i did
01:00:16i must say it's been quite disorienting
01:00:18i'm not used to being fussed over
01:00:20it's all this poking and prodding
01:00:22and focus on my appearance
01:00:23which takes on getting used to
01:00:25perhaps i can sympathize
01:00:26i have found it a little
01:00:29unsettling for myself also
01:00:31you know the work i do is with my hands
01:00:33not my face

01:01:13nighty night
01:01:14night
01:01:29stop
01:01:42pour
01:01:44bye
01:01:46Ã
01:01:47ah
01:01:47ah
01:01:48oh
01:01:49oh
01:01:50Oh, my God.
01:02:22I have to stop these late-night rendezvous, or else people will start to talk and they always have to
01:02:27get 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 was haunted by my great-great-great-grandmother, Gertrude, who died here rather than surrender it to your lot,
01:02:48the postieries.
01:02:49Well, I was told the ghost was a distant cousin who died defending it from the Androvians.
01:02:56You don't suppose that perhaps our educations were skewed in such a way as to paint in a more favourable
01:03:02light our respective families, do you?
01:03:04What? Are you implying that it wasn't entirely true when I was told the postieries basically invented civilisation?
01:03:10Just speculating.
01:03:13Did you hear that?
01:03:15Where are you taking me?
01:03:19You'll see.
01:03:22Yeah, no, but actually what?
01:03:34This is what I wanted to show you.
01:03:39Wow. How did you know about it?
01:03:41Well, for a while as a girl, I would obsess over the schematics of all the castles, certain that I
01:03:47would find a secret passage leading to hidden treasure.
01:03:50Unfortunately, I never thought to look for a hidden bowling alley.
01:04:02Who knows what we'll see.
01:04:05But you once told me that you wanted to study astronomy.
01:04:10Wait.
01:04:11It's early August.
01:04:14Did you bring me here to see the Poseidens?
01:04:16Tonight, the meteor shower is supposed to peak.
01:04:19Brilliant.
01:04:21Brilliant.
01:04:27There's one.
01:04:31Look.
01:04:32There'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 feet 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.
01:05:19But the engagement.
01:05:22I was betrothed to your sister before I even knew what a crush was.
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.
01:05:51I 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.
01:06:40Desmond, Desmond, 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.
01:07:06It's stuck.
01:07:08We're trapped up here.
01:07:09What?
01:07:10What are we going to do?
01:07:13I was just kidding.
01:07:14Imagine how awkward that would have been there.
01:07:15Oh, you're evil.
01:07:17My heart stopped.
01:07:24Where have you two been?
01:07:26We've had the entire staff looking for you.
01:07:28Yes, actually, Edwin, the thing about that is that...
01:07:30I'm sorry.
01:07:30It'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.
01:07:38Apologies, your highness, but your official prenuptial 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 her 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.
01:08:17Even within Androvia, that treaty was widely dismissed.
01:08:20Oh, you're an expert on Androvian history now?
01:08:24It's a moot point to even try and bring that up, since the Joint Occupancy Accord agreed to,
01:08:29in 1923, set 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,
01:08:49ownership would revert to Vostieri.
01:08:52Nonsense! There was never an underlying agreement.
01:08:55That is pure fiction.
01:08:57The only fiction going on here is that we're supposed to believe that's your real hair.
01:09:01Or 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
01:09:21has yet again devolved into another failed summit.
01:09:24Now, 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 has 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, I'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.
01:11:10I 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,
01:11:32which was supposed to 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.
01:14:22Excellent.
01:14:22Well, ah, 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.
01:14:45I'm sure to 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 honor.
01:15:57We feel it has been an honor.
01:16:14We feel it has been an honor.
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.
01:17:18So, 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.
01:17:42Let's do it.
01:17:43Let's do it.
01:17:48Okay.
01:17:49You good?
01:17:49Yeah.
01:17:50Alright.
01:18:05Alright!
01:18:06Back to that grass!
01:18:07Got it!
01:18:10First won it about!
01:18:11Ah!
01:18:28Let's go around.
01:18:31Hey!
01:18:45Stop the car.
01:18:48Stop the car!
01:19:00Listen, darling, are you feeling quite well?
01:19:04No, Mother. I have to say that I'm not.
01:19:07I should think you'd be over the moon.
01:19:09We have peacefully resolved the issues, and going forward, relations between the two countries shall be better than ever.
01:19:16Which is great news for everyone concerned, Father.
01:19:19Except for me.
01:19:21I've dedicated my entire life to this country.
01:19:25But there's something that I have to do now that's just for myself.
01:19:28Son, this is craziness. At the very least, we can send Edward and security with you, for whatever you have
01:19:33to do.
01:19:33No, Father. There's something that I have to do on my own.
01:19:37But trust me, I'm going to be all right.
01:19:40This isn't like you.
01:19:41Can't you see?
01:19:43The boy is dealing with a broken heart.
01:19:47Let him go.
01:19:48Thank you, Mama.
01:19:50Thank you, Mama.
01:20:05Leslie, you couldn't have thought of this before you got so far from the border, could you?
01:20:24Please, I'm going to take care of the transports, please, sir.
01:20:45What's wrong?
01:20:47We're out of gas!
01:20:59Oh, no.
01:21:00I 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.
01:21:06You'll be okay?
01:21:07Yeah, yeah, go!
01:21:08Go!
01:21:10Go!
01:21:10You go, girl!
01:21:11Go!
01:21:12Go!
01:21:13Go!
01:21:13Go!
01:21:13Go!
01:21:14Go!
01:21:14Go!
01:21:15Go!
01:21:25Go!
01:21:49What are you doing?
01:21:50Where's your security thing, Ted?
01:21:51I gave them the slip like you taught me.
01:21:53Oh, God.
01:21:55I 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?
01:22:12No.
01:22:13No.
01:22:14And 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.
01:22:20I'm completely in love with you.
01:22:23I feel the same way.
01:22:26I think.
01:22:27I 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.
01:23:20I will marry you for exactly that reason.
01:23:34You know, you could change your shirt this season.
01:23:38No way.
01:23:39This is my favorite shirt.
01:23:40Even if I take this off, the Bruins will lose.
01:23:43You know that, right?
01:23:44Yeah.
01:23:46Hey, what's this fancy looking envelope?
01:23:50Oh, wait.
01:23:51Are these airline tickets?
01:23:53First class.
01:23:54Is this a joke?
01:23:55Hold on.
01:23:56Let me see the card.
01:23:59There's a note written in it.
01:24:01Dear Rooster and Alice, you did say you wanted a couple friends.
01:24:05What?
01:24:08Shut up.
01:24:10These are our friends from the bowling alley.
01:24:13Are you freaking kidding me?
01:24:17What have we done?
01:24:18What kind of chaos have we unleashed?
01:24:20There's a wedding between two royal families and Edwin's involved.
01:24:24So you kind of expected an intimate affair, just the two of us.
01:24:28Yes, but seating 500 guests.
01:24:29How are we going to do that?
01:24:32And do we really know who all these people are?
01:24:34I mean, this one, for example.
01:24:35Johnny Payne.
01:24:36Ah, yes.
01:24:37The heir to the Glasswick dukedom.
01:24:40He's the son of my uncle, Willie.
01:24:42That's on my mother's side.
01:24:44I see.
01:24:44And his plus one is a misprudent thawp.
01:24:47But why are they seated at a table with the Americans?
01:24:50Oh, that was quite the scandal.
01:24:51You see, Willie went over to America, had a secret wife and a hidden heir.
01:24:54I see.
01:24:56But shouldn't he be seated with his parents, William and Dorothy?
01:24:59He should be seated with his highness's cousin, Henry.
01:25:03Yes, because Henry is going out with an American, Princess Sweet Pea.
01:25:08Princess Sweet Pea, the theme park princess.
01:25:10You know she's not real, right?
01:25:11Apparently she's real enough to be eating lobster at our wedding.
01:25:15Well, if all this goes south, I'll be over there drinking beer with Rooster and Alice.
01:25:19A better idea.
01:25:20Why don't we run out for some pizza?
01:25:22Why don't we run out for some pizza?
01:25:52Why don't we run out for them?
