00:00:00Your Highness! Run! The Rebels have sealed the border!
00:00:08Run! My Highness!
00:00:11Shut up! We leave together!
00:00:19No!
00:00:28Your noble Highness.
00:00:30Your escape game is over.
00:00:33So this is how a crown dies.
00:00:39Dare kill people in front of me?!
00:00:58You boys got some nerve.
00:01:01Shooting people on my fucking land.
00:01:04Right in front of me.
00:01:09Lucky bastard. You caught me on patrol.
00:01:15His mouth tastes so good. Smells even better than a woman's perfume. Goddamn.
00:01:22Fuck. Found it.
00:01:30Fuck.
00:01:39Damn it.
00:01:42Damn it.
00:02:00Where am I?
00:02:05Tough son of a bitch. You're alive.
00:02:08Who are you? Who sent you?
00:02:13You dare move against me?
00:02:15I dragged you back from death's door. Your life belongs to me.
00:02:20You saved me?
00:02:25Damn right I saved you.
00:02:27Nobody kills anyone on my ranch.
00:02:29Nobody kills anyone on my ranch.
00:02:29You said my life is yours. So how do you plan to use it?
00:02:33What are you talking about?
00:02:41You saved my life.
00:02:44You saved my life.
00:02:44Leaning in this close. Collecting your debt.
00:02:48I don't mind.
00:02:50Stop being such a tease.
00:02:52Stop being such a tease.
00:02:52I'm not into men.
00:02:56Such a strong reaction.
00:02:58I almost thought it was love at first sight.
00:03:04Bullshit. Drink your medicine.
00:03:06And get the hell out tomorrow.
00:03:08With injuries like this?
00:03:10You really don't care?
00:03:11Why would I feel sorry for a man?
00:03:13Get the hell out!
00:03:17This badge is solid gold.
00:03:18I know you need money.
00:03:20I can rent this room to recover.
00:03:22I'm injured. Can't run.
00:03:24You can tie me to this bed everyday.
00:03:27Or treat me any way you like.
00:03:29Deal.
00:03:30I'll rent it to you.
00:03:31Don't step one foot outside this room.
00:03:33And put some damn clothes on!
00:03:35You can't escape cowboy.
00:03:37Take my family trees.
00:03:38You're mine.
00:03:47Get out.
00:03:51The Energy Corporation has their eye on the oil field under your land.
00:03:55This is the $500,000 loan shark note your old man left behind.
00:03:59Due today.
00:04:01Either sign and sell.
00:04:03Or I'll seize your ranch and throw you in prison to rot.
00:04:06I paid that off three years ago.
00:04:08You forging bastards.
00:04:12Texas law is whatever I say it is.
00:04:15Luke, I always liked that wild stallion temper of yours.
00:04:23That $500,000 debt.
00:04:25Maybe I can help you out.
00:04:27Go fuck yourself!
00:04:29Ow!
00:04:30You dare assaulting officer!
00:04:32Want to die on my land?
00:04:33I'll grant your wish.
00:04:35Now take your lappings and get the hell out.
00:04:37Kid.
00:04:38You don't have the guts to pull that trigger.
00:04:45Wild stallion, huh?
00:04:46Today I'm going to break you in real good.
00:04:54Get your fucking hands off me!
00:05:02You fat bastard.
00:05:05I'll blow you full of holes.
00:05:22I'll blow you full of holes.
00:05:23Fat pig.
00:05:26That's our chief!
00:05:27Stop!
00:05:28You're assaulting an officer!
00:05:29Take this slab of loud and get out.
00:05:32If you don't disappear from my sight in 10 seconds.
00:05:35Next time it goes straight through your eye sockets.
00:05:37I keep my word.
00:05:56Brought down by vermin like that?
00:05:59Where's that five heads and five shots wildness, cowboy?
00:06:10Soft.
00:06:13Don't touch me!
00:06:14Pick up the key and undo these cuffs!
00:06:25You did that on purpose.
00:06:27You're not wearing anything underneath.
00:06:32Feel what?
00:06:34Be specific.
00:06:36I can feel it.
00:06:38You're so hot.
00:06:41Especially here.
00:06:43Stop moving anymore and I won't be able to control myself!
00:06:47Then don't.
00:06:57Looks like I'm not the only one losing control.
00:07:02Hey!
00:07:02What's wrong?
00:07:10Don't you dare die on me!
00:07:12I saved your virtue and chased off the men you couldn't.
00:07:16This debt.
00:07:17How do you plan to repay it?
00:07:2217 stitches.
00:07:24Damn, harder than sewing up a horse leg.
00:07:26What the hell are you made of?
00:07:28No anesthesia during the whole film and you didn't make a sound.
00:07:32Even bulls wow when I stitch them up.
00:07:34Those old scars.
00:07:36Knife wounds, bullet marks, whip marks.
00:07:38Not a normal person.
00:07:40Military?
00:07:40Assassin?
00:07:41Or something more dangerous?
00:07:48You're awake!
00:07:49Let go!
00:07:49I was wiping the blood off your wound!
00:07:51Wiping blood?
00:07:52Or were you trying to feel me up while I was unconscious?
00:07:55Like that fat pig sheriff this afternoon?
00:07:57Bullshit!
00:07:58I'm not into men?
00:08:04Answer me one question.
00:08:07This afternoon, when that sheriff pressed his greasy fat hand on your chest, did you get hard?
00:08:16Are you out of your goddamn mind?
00:08:18I was disgusted!
00:08:20I wanted to chop up his head!
00:08:22Feed him to the wolves!
00:08:30I believe you.
00:08:34Then what about now?
00:08:38When I touch you, why does your heart race like it's about to explode?
00:08:46Fuck!
00:08:47Fuck!
00:08:47Fuck!
00:08:47Fuck!
00:08:48What the hell?
00:08:50Why did I react to his touch?
00:08:51It's a stress response.
00:08:53Yes!
00:08:54A stress response!
00:08:55What's going on?
00:08:57Is your heart stirring?
00:08:58You touch me one more time and I'm kicking you off this ranch tomorrow!
00:09:01A straight man getting groped by you?
00:09:03I'm gonna have PTSD!
00:09:09Sure.
00:09:10But before you throw me out, remember to repay those two life debts you owe me first.
00:09:18I have all night.
00:09:19I can teach you slowly how to repay.
00:09:22Stop talking!
00:09:24Shut up!
00:09:24I can't hear you!
00:09:26I'm sleeping in the stable!
00:09:30Ears that red, heart that fast, yet denying everything he's got.
00:09:35No rush.
00:09:37I have all the patience in the world.
00:09:53Fuck.
00:09:54Couldn't sleep all night.
00:09:58I can't stop thinking about that Lunaturk's face.
00:10:01The temperature of his hand on my chest...
00:10:03No!
00:10:05It was cold!
00:10:06I remember it was ice cold!
00:10:08Not some goddamn sensation!
00:10:09Fuck!
00:10:10Stop thinking!
00:10:25What are you doing?!
00:10:26What are you doing?!
00:10:26Your pants were too low.
00:10:28Helping you pull them up.
00:10:32Only a little bit.
00:10:33Not even a little!
00:10:37Someone is coming.
00:10:47I'm not selling.
00:10:49Take your money and your dogs and get off my land.
00:10:51I'm not here today to discuss a sale.
00:10:53I'm here to inform you of a legal fact.
00:10:56This ranch shall be inherited at Luke Anderson.
00:10:59But should Luke fail to enter into a lawful marriage by the age of 25,
00:11:03ownership shall automatically revert to the State Land Trust for public auction.
00:11:08This is the will your grandfather, old Anderson, left behind.
00:11:12The original has been kept in the county courthouse archives.
00:11:17You've never read it carefully, have you?
00:11:19Unfortunately, our company has already signed a pre-purchase agreement with the State Land Trust.
00:11:25And tomorrow is your 25th birthday.
00:11:30At sunset tomorrow, I'll be back with marshals and a notary.
00:11:37Enjoy your last night, Mr. Anderson.
00:11:44Were you afraid I'd grow old alone?
00:11:46Or did you already know someone would come for this land?
00:11:49Why?
00:11:53Using legal loopholes to corner prey.
00:11:55Crude tactics, but effective against a cowboy with no lawyer.
00:12:00Find a legal spouse in 24 hours?
00:12:03This town is controlled by the Energy Corporation.
00:12:05No woman would dare marry him.
00:12:07But this is the perfect chance to tame a wild stallion.

00:27:25registered in the u.s.
00:27:27but peel back the parent company layer by layer
00:27:29shell companies within shell companies
00:27:31offshore trust wrapped in funds

00:27:50that bastard used my family's land to feed his army
00:27:53it goes beyond that
00:27:54more importantly
00:27:55he already knew i might flee

00:27:58this escape route was arranged by my late mother
00:28:00my uncle intercepted the intelligence and pre-positioned the energy company in this area
00:28:03he set a trap here waiting for me to walk right into it
00:28:06your ranch is at the center of the web
00:28:07so from the very beginning
00:28:09my ranch wasn't just targeted by some corrupt company

00:53:42oh no
00:53:56You've lost weight, you miss me?
00:54:1912 days, he's lost so much weight, the collarbone's more prominent, I can feel his ribs.
00:54:29But he's back, he's on my bed, he's mine.
00:54:3512 days, how do you plan to make it up?
00:54:47I'm not leaving, never again.
00:54:50If you leave again, I'll tie you to this bed.
00:54:53Tie me with what?
00:54:54Rawhide rope.
00:54:59Last time I cut through a rawhide rope in three seconds.
00:55:02Then I'll use chains.
00:55:03A creaky iron bed, a dusty ranch, a rough, burning hot cowboy.
00:55:09This is the life I chose.
00:55:11The end of all my exile.
00:55:26This is what he means by my people.
00:55:29Not a chess piece on a board.
00:55:30Not a bargaining chip for political marriage.
00:55:33Not an appendage of the crown prince.
00:55:35Not anyone's tool.
00:55:37His.
00:55:38Just his.
00:55:38You're awake.
00:55:45You're awake.
00:55:46Don't move.
00:55:48My hair a bit longer.
00:55:50I'm not moving.
00:55:51Your hair is tickling my neck, itchy.
00:55:54You're the one who put your chin on my head.
00:55:57The scent of his hair.
00:55:59Not shampoo.
00:56:00It's Luis's own scent.
00:56:02Same as the first day.
00:56:04Faint.
00:56:05Clean.
00:56:05No matter how many times I breathe it in.
00:56:30You've improved.
00:56:33Improved at what?
00:56:34Used to blush to the tips of your ears when you touched me.
00:56:43People change.
00:56:44Do they?
00:56:51He smiled.
00:56:52He thinks I didn't see.
00:56:53But the curve of his lips is completely different from the day he threw me onto his horse.
00:57:06Your Highness, a few matters to report.
00:57:10Go ahead.
00:57:11Albert has been formally indicted by the International Criminal Court.
00:57:14Charges include treason, money laundering, and attempted murder.
00:57:18All Texas-affiliated enterprises have been seized.
00:57:21And Lone Star?
00:57:23Fully dissolved.
00:57:24Richard and the core management have been sentenced.
00:57:27Federal court handed down heavy sentences.
00:57:29They deserved it.
00:57:31Your family assets in Europe have been fully restored to your name.
00:57:34Including Swiss bank accounts, London properties, and Paris gallery shares.
00:57:39Transfer all assets into a trust fund.
00:57:42Allocate 30% of the returns to the Morningstar Ranch Livestock Development Fund.
00:57:4630%?
00:57:47Did you mishear me?
00:57:51No, sir.
00:57:52Right away.
00:57:53I'll have the legal team draft the trust agreement immediately.
00:57:59Good.
00:58:00Anything else?
00:58:03Also, Parliament has once again requested your return to take the throne.
00:58:08This is the fourth formal request.
00:58:10Gene, I've already signed the Abcation Declaration.
00:58:14Don't bring this up again.
00:58:15Your Highness.
00:58:17Don't call me Your Highness.
00:58:19I just feel if your mother were still alive, she would want me to be happy.
00:58:26Then please, do be happy.
00:58:28This is my final request as your faithful servant of 23 years.
00:58:32Not a servant.
00:58:33A friend.
00:58:36Thank you, Gene.
00:58:44That ring.
00:58:45He still hasn't returned it.
00:58:47Hasn't mentioned it either.
00:58:49Did he forget?
00:58:50No.
00:58:51Luke isn't the forgetful kind.
00:58:53What's he waiting for?
00:58:54Or does he have no intention of returning it at all?
00:58:57No rush.
00:58:58He'll return it.
00:58:59In his own way.
00:59:00Luke does everything at his own pace.
00:59:02Like this land.
00:59:04Unharried.
00:59:05But when the time comes, it comes.
00:59:10Drink water.
00:59:20He deliberately drank from the same spot I drank from.
00:59:24It's dirty.
00:59:25Go back inside.
00:59:26Too much sun.
00:59:42Have you ever regretted it?
00:59:44Hmm.
00:59:45Regret what?
00:59:46Everything.
00:59:47From the night you found me outside your barbed wire.
00:59:50To taking a bullet for me.
00:59:51To going back to Europe with me to face Albert.
00:59:54To now, all of it.
01:00:00You've asked many times.
01:00:02Because I'm never sure the answer won't change.
01:00:07What are you afraid of?
01:00:08That one day you'll look back and think it wasn't worth it.
01:00:14It won't change.
01:00:16How do you know?
01:00:18The best thing I've ever done in my life.
01:00:20Riding midnight down that slope and putting five bullets in those five bastards.
01:00:25Not because you're a prince.
01:00:27Not because of how much you're worth.
01:00:29Because you collapsed outside my barbed wire.
01:00:32Bleeding.
01:00:33And you were fucking smiling.
01:00:35I wasn't smiling then.
01:00:36You were.
01:00:37The corner of your lips was curved.
01:00:38I thought you were insane.
01:00:41Same here.
01:00:41The best thing I've ever done crashing outside your barbed wire.
01:00:47A man's shoulders.
01:00:47He says it won't change.
01:00:50I've finally found a place that won't collapse.
01:00:52Not a castle.
01:00:54Not a country.
01:00:55A man's shoulders.
01:00:57When he buries his face in my shoulder, his breath is warm.
01:01:00He never used to hide his face.
01:01:02He was used to facing everything head-on.
01:01:05Now he does.
01:01:07Hides his face in the hollow of my shoulder.
01:01:09Because he doesn't need to be on guard anymore.
01:01:12Not with me.
01:01:28Mr. Lewis, this is my last official visit.
01:01:31Gene, thank you for the long journey.
01:01:35Not at all.
01:01:36The abdication process is fully complete.
01:01:39Parliament voted and approved it.
01:01:40The Royal Advisory Council signed off.
01:01:42As of today, you are officially no longer a member of the House of Valway.
01:01:50Good.
01:01:50This is your late mother's personal legacy to you.
01:01:53Jewelry, letters, and personal effects.
01:01:56Not part of royal property.
01:01:58Per her will, they belong to you personally, forever.
01:02:03Thank you, Gene.
01:02:04Twenty-three years.
01:02:07To have served you has been the honor of my lifetime.
01:02:11Oh, by the way, Mr. Anderson asked me to tell you he'll be out all day today.
01:02:16He says not to look for him.
01:02:18Where did he go?
01:02:19He didn't say.
01:02:20You know something.
01:02:21I know nothing.
01:02:23When did you two get so close?
01:02:24Mr. Anderson called me last night.
01:02:27Content's confidential.
01:02:29He specifically instructed me not to tell you.
01:02:33He's out all day?
01:02:35Told me not to look for him?
01:02:37What's he up to?
01:02:38Even got Gene to cover for him.
01:02:53Where were you all day?
01:02:55Went out for a bit.
01:02:56What business?
01:02:58Why so many questions?
01:03:02Last time we got married, there wasn't a proper ring.
01:03:04Yours was too small.
01:03:05So I made one myself.
01:03:10This one I'm returning.
01:03:12You said you wanted me to keep it safe.
01:03:15Now I'm giving it back.
01:03:22No need.
01:03:23It's perfect as it is.
01:03:25Last time you said make do.
01:03:27This time it's not making do.
01:03:28I want you to wear it.
01:03:45Cowboy.
01:03:46Hmm.
01:03:48The lines of your back muscles look great when you chop wood.
01:03:53Can you talk like a normal person?
01:03:54No.
01:03:55Keep chopping.
01:03:56I'm watching.
01:03:59You're doing this on purpose.
01:04:03Doing what on purpose?
01:04:06The way you look at me every time I chop wood.
01:04:09What kind of look?
01:04:11You know damn well.
01:04:13And don't tell me.
01:04:20What are you laughing at?
01:04:24Remembering the first time you kissed me?
01:04:26What about it?
01:04:28You were nervous as a kid riding a horse for the first time.
01:04:32And now?
01:04:33Now you're like a tamed wild horse.
01:04:36Who tamed who?
01:04:37What do you think?
01:04:38Of course I tamed you.
01:04:39You thought you saved me, but I chose you.
01:04:42Out of everyone, out of the entire world, I chose you.
01:04:52You used to say you were straight.
01:04:56I am.
01:04:57And now?
01:05:02Come inside for dinner.
01:05:13Don't touch the pot.
01:05:15Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
