Short filmTranscript
00:04Mother, how many times do I have to tell you?
00:07You listen to me. You might be king, but you're still my son.
00:11It's been years, Alex. You cannot keep living in solitude.
00:15People are starting to cast aspersians.
00:18The kingdom needs a queen, and you must secure an heir.
00:25Your Majesty, the gala is starting.
00:53Look at her. The lady has quite a presence.
01:00That's not just anyone. That's Raina Devereaux.
01:05The young CEO from Brooklyn? Impressive.
01:10Beauty and brains. No wonder everyone's talking about her.
01:20Still can't believe I'm pretending to be my sister in front of a king.
01:24Regina, just remember, you're saving our company. We need this deal to turn our business into billions.
01:29I know, I know. I'll pitch the hell out of us.
01:33You got this.
01:35You look like you need one.
01:47Care for one more?
01:49Would you, darling? That'd be great.
01:58Holy shit. Did I just treat the king like a waiter?
02:03I was going to offer you something better, darling.
02:09Real vintage wine.
02:12In private.
02:14King Alex?
02:16Your Majesty.
02:18I, uh...
02:20I believe you have a business proposal with you, like everyone else here.
02:26Come, wine and dine me.
02:37So, business.
02:38Yes, we're a boutique fashion brand based in Brooklyn.
02:42We're expanding traditional luxury brands' definition of beauty.
02:46Interesting.
02:47Just like you.
02:50Something tells me this brand, and you, might be just what I'm looking for.
02:57I wonder if you are feeling the same.
03:00O.M.G.
03:02He definitely is flirting with me.
03:05And I, I like it.
03:07Gosh, he's intoxicating.
03:09His eyes, his voice, his scent, his...
03:13Shit.
03:14Am I falling for a king I just met?
03:19Would you be amiable to me kissing you?
03:23Huh?
03:24What?
03:25Your skin was velvet in the harbor.
03:32The trauma started in my heart.
03:39I was submerged in that white current.
03:45A wave of something so different.
03:52Oh.
03:54Oh.
03:57Oh.
04:00Oh.
04:00Oh.

04:06Oh.
04:06Oh.
04:08Oh.
04:09Oh.
04:17Holy shit.
04:18I just slept with the king.
04:20And he is so, so fine.
04:23This isn't real, is it?
04:25Is this just physical or is it something more?
04:30we fit together perfectly reina oh no how do i tell him i'm not reina but her sister

07:09You!
07:10How are you here?
07:14Oh no!
07:15Look, I can explain.
07:17Your Majesty, it was me.
07:19I asked my sister to-
07:20We're so sorry about the gala.
07:23I was stuck in Milan.
07:25Flights were cancelled that night.
07:27She's not pregnant.
07:29Not giving my heir to Jasiri.
07:33Enough.
07:34You were in my bed.
07:36I need you in my bed again.
07:38What?
07:39My kingdom needs an heir.
07:41Immediately.
07:42Like your sister.
07:44You'll bear a child.
07:46For me.
07:48Yeah.
07:50Your Majesty, that ain't happening.
07:55You came to my gala seeking business with my kingdom, didn't you?
07:59I will sign the $10 billion deal with your company, if-
08:03I don't like where this is going.
08:05Let the king speak.
08:07If-
08:11If you marry me, and give me an heir-
08:21If you marry me, and give me an heir-
08:24If you marry me, and give me an heir-
08:36What?
08:36He's really out of mind, right?
08:38I mean, what the hell?
08:39We had meaningless sex four months ago, and I'll become what?
08:42His breeder?
08:43He's a king.
08:44He's used to getting what he wants.
08:46I bet the news of my pregnancy suddenly made him want to be a father.
08:50So?
08:51Kings don't need love?
08:53Romance?
08:54Just a forced marriage with a big $10 billion sign attached to it and a baby?
09:00What century is this?
09:01Yes.
09:01But sis, the way you looked at him?
09:04I see it.
09:06You want him.
09:07Was the sex really meaningless?
09:09What?
09:10No.
09:11I'm not.
09:13Ugh.
09:14That's not the point.
09:16Then what is?
09:18Marriage and kids?
09:20That's a big deal for me.
09:21I want to be chosen, not bought.
09:26But it is a lot of money and a huge opportunity.
09:29Yeah.
09:30But think about it.
09:31$10 billion.
09:32It is a lot of money and a huge opportunity.
09:35That deal takes us global overnight.
09:37Us.
09:38African American women.
09:39Two queens.
09:40Bringing our culture, our influence to the world.
09:43It's all we ever dreamed about, isn't it?
09:47And don't lie to yourself.
09:49You might even get the love that you are seeking for.
10:14Earlier today, I spoke out of anger.
10:17This is not me buying a bride.
10:19This is...
10:22I believe this could work.
10:24What?
10:25What do you mean?
10:26Work?
10:27You and I, as a ruling couple, on top of producing an heir.
10:33How you run the company, I see the potential in you.
10:39Treat it as what you understand best.
10:42A business deal.
10:43You give me a legitimate bloodline.
10:46And every need of yours will be fulfilled.
10:49Every need?
10:50I'm a king.
10:52My word is law.
10:55I can't help myself.
11:10Four months.
11:14This is all I thought about.
11:30I did not.
11:42Oh, um, your majesty.
11:47To you, I'm always Alex.
11:51Say my name.
11:55Al.
11:57Al.
11:58Say it.
12:01Alex!
12:18Your majesty, Alex, don't take this the wrong way.
12:28I will marry you.
12:31For money, for power, for sex.
12:38Money, power, and sex.
12:44Deal.
12:46And then one more.
12:50Love.
12:54Love.
12:59Love.
13:01Will you ever be able to give me that, Alex?
13:04Love.
13:17Love.
13:20Alex!
13:27Save us!
13:32No!
13:34Daddy!
13:36Daddy!
13:44Alex, are you okay?
13:50What... what happened?
13:51You screamed and fainted.
13:56Should I be concerned?
14:03No, I'm all right.
14:04You're avoidant.
14:05I get it.
14:07But I can't build a life with someone who runs away from love.
14:14Wait!
14:17Love may not be part of our marriage, but I promise you care, kindness, and consideration.
14:24I will take care of you every way I know how.
14:28You seem to have your mind made up.
14:31I do.
14:32As king, I've never allowed myself to give in to my emotions.
14:35But I believe in our connection.
14:37I'll never leave your side.
14:39You have my word.
14:41All right.
14:41I agree to a loveless marriage.
14:44On one condition.
14:51What's the condition?
14:53I'll marry you.
14:55I'll have your baby.
14:56But I won't be just a silent wife.
14:59If we do this, you will support me fully.
15:02I'm listening.
15:06I need you to fund a fully equipped lab and fund the launch of the black hair care line
15:11I've always dreamed of.
15:13You're willing to trade your whole life to start a hair care line?
15:16Amongst other things.
15:17It's not only for your obsidian, but for all kingdoms.
15:20Do you have any idea how hard it is to get something off the ground as a black businesswoman?
15:24You're right.
15:25I don't.
15:27But I know if anyone can do it, it's you.
15:34Very soft.
15:36I'll take that as a yes.
15:47I hope Obsidian Island is ready for me.
15:50Because Brooklyn is about to be in the house.
16:14Presenting His Majesty King Alex.
16:25And His Wife, Lady Regina.
16:38A foreigner?
16:39She cannot be the bride my son has chosen.
16:43She has chosen.
16:58Queen Mother, it is such an honor to meet you.
17:09Call a formal assembly.
17:11Now.
17:12Now.
17:13Now.
17:17This is weirdly formal for a welcome.
17:20Maybe the obsidians are just cold by nature?
17:24Today should have been a day of honor for obsidians.
17:27I expected my son, the king, to preserve our royal bloodline and secure the future of obsidian.
17:35Instead, he has chosen to scandalize it by marrying an outsider.
17:42He has chosen to be the king, the king, to preserve our royal bloodline and secure the future of obsidian.
17:44He has chosen to be the king, the king, to preserve our royal bloodline and secure the future of obsidian.
17:44Oh.
17:45So it's not a welcome at all.
17:47What am I?
17:48Just a pawn in some royal transaction?
17:53Mother.
17:54Enough.
17:55I did not bring my bride home to be humiliated.
17:59Instead, you humiliate me.
18:01She is a nobody with no understanding of our customs or our culture.
18:05She doesn't belong here.
18:08That's original.
18:11Is this funny to you?
18:14No, it's just...
18:15Believe me, I've heard that before.
18:17Regina.
18:18No, it's okay.
18:20Look, I care about your son and I plan to make obsidian my home.
18:25Who says you're welcome to cancel this wedding and send this foreigner back to where she came from?
18:31And Alex, choose a bride worthy of this kingdom.
18:40Who says you're welcome?
18:42Who says you're welcome?
18:44Well?
18:45What are you waiting for?
18:47Get her out of my sight!
18:52Enough.
18:53This foreigner is my fiancée.
18:56I ask that you reconsider, Mother.
19:00we're past the days of building a kingdom through transactional marriages
19:04those were nothing more than risky bargains bargains that brought up glory
19:10and strengthened nations and that made our ancestors miserable trapping them in forced
19:16marriages don't be childish being king is a job you'll marry a princess like you're supposed to
19:22regina came here with no hidden agenda no house seeking advantage no family trying to take our
19:28land or power can you say the same for those princesses you speak of she must be very good
19:34in bed to have you convinced she's not here for your power and wealth on the contrary
19:39she's proven to me she's the only person in this room i can trust
19:46my mind is made up

22:39king
22:45hello my queen
22:50hello my king he really cares about me

23:01you disappeared for a moment are you all right yeah it's just a lot
23:08not too much i hope nothing i can't handle other than the fact your mother wants me dead
23:15i meant what i said before about trusting you i see a strong future with you for a man who

24:12you could be pregnant with the king's baby
24:37our beauty was never something to be fixed it was meant to be honored mommy look i have hair
24:48just like the queen for her to see herself represented this is what i worked so hard for
25:01they made me believe my hair wasn't beautiful but your line has empowered me to wear it natural again
25:06never be ashamed to rock those curls
25:17i see now that this is so much more than a brand you've given people freedom and a voice just
25:26another day's work for a queen you're amazing is there anything you can't do excuse me for one second
25:44alex kept his promise he's given me so much the line a home
25:51and i can't seem to get pregnant
26:10you still trust in alex's love
26:15child dynasties are built on heirs not affection
26:22fail to give him one and the crown will find someone who can
26:32what happens when he realizes i'm failing my end of the bargain and i can't give him an air
26:40we make love every single night and somehow i'm still not pregnant
26:45he doesn't seem to be in a rush but i know he'll ask me any day now
26:50what's wrong what nothing don't stop
27:02something's off this isn't the same what do you mean it's like you're not here
27:11did i do something no i i'm sorry i'm just tired
27:17regina this union isn't going to work if we keep secrets
27:22i want to think this will work but he has a duty as king
27:27if i can't get pregnant he'll leave me
27:30i can't tell him i'm just tired it was a long day i promise
27:42this is the first time she's denied me does she not want me anymore
27:48tell him tell him tell him you're scared good night
28:07wake up alex
28:13another nightmare
28:18no
28:18you can talk to me about it
28:22go back to sleep
28:33this distance between us is growing
28:39while this would be the perfect time
28:43if only we were still being intimate
28:48if i keep myself busy with work
28:51i don't have to think about the fact that alex and i are totally failing as a couple
28:56since lately it feels like he's been avoiding me
28:59you are no good to me
29:03you are no good to me
29:29I've noticed my son has become rather distant lately, though I suppose that isn't surprising.
29:38The very purpose of this marriage is beginning to come into question.
29:42Tell me, Regina, are you truly capable of giving Obsidian an heir?
29:47Or has Alex finally realized he placed his trust in the wrong woman?
29:53Perhaps it's time Obsidian found the queen it truly deserves.
30:15We still sleep beside each other, but that's all we do now.
30:19Was the queen right all along?
30:33Uh, Alex? Hey.
30:35We need to talk.
30:37Oh my god. This is it. He's going to leave me.
30:43Okay.
30:54Regina!
30:57Regina! Regina, wake up!
30:59Someone call the doctor! Now!
31:06Congratulations. You're going to be a mother.
31:10This is fantastic news.
31:14Regina, did you hear that?
31:16I can't believe this. It really happened.
31:19Her fainting spell was caused by too much stress at work, which isn't good for the baby.
31:25Don't worry, doctor. I'll make sure she relaxes.
31:35We're really pregnant. This is crazy.
31:38Alex, what did you want to talk to me about earlier?
31:41Nothing.
31:42It doesn't matter from now.
31:45So it was about the baby.
31:47All he really wants is an heir.
31:50At least you can relax now, Regina.
31:53You're doing your part. Everything can go back to normal now.
31:56Now, how should we celebrate?
32:13Where is he going?
32:15Where is he going?
32:33He's... crying?
32:38Alex, what are you hiding from me?
32:41I'm the mother of his child.
32:43I deserve to know.
32:54This room is off limits, your highness.
32:57King's orders.
32:58Okay.
32:59And as queen, I order you to open it.
33:02I'd advise against it.
33:11I'm the king.
33:19Alex, are you coming to bed?
33:24Later.
33:29Is everything all right?
33:31You've been distant lately.
33:33Just the pressures of being king, I promise.
33:36Go get some rest. I'll be up soon.
33:39He keeps telling me everything is fine,
33:41but he won't sleep in the same bed with me anymore.
33:45Does he not want me?
33:47That's it.
33:53What are you hiding from me?
34:01Regina, darling.
34:02Whatever do you mean?
34:04I told you last night...
34:06Don't, darling me.
34:07You're not being honest with me.
34:09I can't tell her about my past.
34:12It would scare her off.
34:14Regina, our agreement was very clear.
34:17You are my wife, and I am here to take care of you,
34:20but I am not responsible for your emotions.
34:22I told you that.
34:30What I can give you.
34:33However...
34:34Of course.
34:35He jumps straight to sex to shut me up.
34:38I need him as a partner.
34:40Emotionally.
34:41No, Alex.
34:44Something's different.
34:46I'm not sure I can live with it.
34:49Nothing has changed.
34:51I feel the same.
34:52Yeah, well, maybe that's exactly the problem.
35:04Your majesty.
35:05Your sister has arrived.
35:13Oh, my God.
35:15You look like a balloon about to pop.
35:18Bitch, shut up.
35:20You're one to talk.
35:23I've missed you so much.
35:29Wait, where's Alex?
35:31Busy.
35:32King stuff.
35:33Forget about him.
35:34This is your moment.
35:35Let's celebrate the future king of Nusia.
35:45Wait.
35:47Something's not right.
35:49Regina.
35:50Call the midwife.
35:52Now.
36:01He takes such good care of her.
36:03I can't help but wonder if Alex will even be there when I give birth.
36:10Girl, why are you crying harder than me?
36:13You just pushed a whole human out.
36:16Let me be emotional.
36:18Want to hold your nephew?
36:28Hey, baby.
36:30Look how happy you are.
36:32You'll have your happiness soon, too.
36:34Will it be happiness?
36:36An heir does not make you queen.
36:38You're still an outsider.
36:40I know my son.
36:41He chose your womb, not your heart.
36:44What if she's right?
36:45What if she's right?
36:48There he is.
36:49I was worried you weren't going to come.
36:51I wouldn't miss it.
36:53Congratulations, both of you.
36:56Alex?
36:58What are you doing here?
36:59As a neighboring king, I must bless the heir.
37:03It's a symbol of peace between kingdoms.
37:08Just when I thought he might have come looking for me.
37:12Would you do the honors?
37:20May this child be blessed with strength, honor, with a life untouched by you.
37:28Daddy!
37:37Excuse me.
37:43What are you doing?
37:45Go after him.
37:47I'm not sure he wants me to.
37:52Alex, I know what you are hiding.
37:59It's haunting you, isn't it?
38:01I don't know what you're talking about.
38:02Don't lie to me.
38:04You forgot I saw what a shell you were after the accident.
38:07Seeing my son brought back memories.
38:10Didn't it?
38:11I have nightmares about it every night.
38:14When Mother found out my wife wasn't obsidian,
38:19she banished her from the island.
38:22If only I'd had the courage to stand up to my mother,
38:25to make them stay,
38:27they would still be alive.
38:31You know,
38:34I avoided you for years because you saw me in that low state.
38:38I couldn't handle it.
38:40Losing your lover and child,
38:42I couldn't imagine.
38:45All I can hope is that you would be there for me.
38:48There is no shame in grieving.
38:51What I saw,
38:52still see,
38:53is a man in pain.
38:55Does Regina know?
38:57No.
38:58I know my distance is hurting her,
39:00but I can't risk getting close to anyone.
39:03Then you only stand to lose.
39:16I was surprised you came.
39:19I...
39:19I thought you had beef with Jasiri.
39:22There is no beef.
39:24It's tradition for kings to bless one another's heirs.
39:28About that,
39:29are you okay?
39:30What happened back there?
39:32What happened back there?
39:32What happened back there?
39:35Nothing.
39:36Nothing?
39:37Okay.
39:39Then what were you talking to him about?
39:46Right.
39:47I forgot that trying to talk to you won't go anywhere.
39:52Stop the car!
39:54Stop the car!
39:55Stop the car!
40:03Stop the car!
40:05Not here.
40:06Okay.
40:07Then?
40:07Because every time I ask,
40:09suddenly it's not the right time.
40:13I will tell.
40:15When?
40:17Just...
40:18not in the middle of the road.
40:19Please.
40:20Get back in the car.
40:22Fine.
40:22But this isn't over.
40:29What is this again?
40:31Do I have to give a speech?
40:33Because I am not ready.
40:35It's the queen's ball.
40:36All of Obsidian has gathered to celebrate you.
40:40No pressure.
40:42Too bad the only person I want to celebrate with is cold as ice.
40:48Think of the devil.
40:50Could we have the room?
40:53Regina.
40:54You look...
40:55breathtaking.
41:11I've come to give you this.
41:14No queen is complete without her crown.
41:17The throne belongs to a queen.
41:20Not a substitute.
41:22Not a woman brought here to bear an heir.
41:24My kingdom needs an heir.
41:26You'll bear a child.
41:28For me.
41:29She doesn't belong here.
41:32Do you truly believe my son sees you as his future?
41:36You have his ring.
41:38You have his name.
41:40You may even wear the crown.
41:42When you've given him what he wants,
41:45what will be left for you?
41:51Wait!
41:57Wait.
42:01I can't accept this.
42:03Of course you can.
42:05You are technically queen.
42:06Technically.
42:07By marriage, you mean?
42:09I want you to accept me as queen.
42:13It's like you're two different people.
42:16I never know which version I'm going to get.
42:19What are you talking about?
42:21Every time I try to get closer,
42:22you pull away from me.
42:23Then you try to reel me back in with this.
42:26She's right.
42:27I didn't realize how distant I've been.
42:29It's breaking her heart.
42:30I need to know what you're hiding.
42:33You're losing her, Alex.
42:35Just tell her.
42:36Open up.
42:36Just say it already.
42:38Fine.
42:39If you're going to refuse to talk,
42:40the least you can do is listen.
42:42This no-love marriage,
42:43it's not working for me anymore.
42:45Nobody's forcing you to do this.
42:48Maybe your mother was right.
42:50I really don't belong here.
42:54Wait.
42:55Regina.
42:56Enjoy the ball, your majesty.
43:06Your majesty,
43:08this room is off limits by the king's direct order.
43:11That's why I'm here.
43:12The king has sent for you.
43:14He urgently needs you in his study.
43:20If my husband won't tell me the truth,
43:23I'll just find out for myself.
43:32Your majesty, at your service.
43:34Why are you bothering me?
43:36What do you want?
43:37The queen said you called for me?
43:39I didn't.
43:40Go back to what you were doing before.
43:42Hey.
43:43Aren't you the one guarding Catherine's room?
43:46Why did Regina send you here?
43:57Regina?
44:02Regina?
44:03Regina?
44:03Regina?
44:04Regina?
44:05Regina?
44:05Regina?
44:05Regina?
44:06Regina?
44:06Regina?
44:06Regina?
44:06Regina?
44:07Regina?
44:07Regina?
44:08Regina?
44:08Regina?
44:09Regina?
44:10Regina?
44:10Regina?
44:11Regina?
44:12Regina?
44:14Regina?
44:17I should have known.
44:19This whole time Alex never loved me.
44:34Will you ever be able to give me that?
44:36Alex?
44:38Love?
44:39Love.
44:41This is it.
44:43I'm leaving Alex.
44:45Leaving you forever.
44:47Find Regina.
44:48Now!
44:52What do you mean you can't find her?
44:55She can't have gone far.
44:56It's an island.
44:57That's because she's not on the island.
45:01Jasiri.
45:02Do you know where Regina is?
45:04Take me to her.
45:05Now!
45:05If you know, I'm afraid you won't come.
45:08What could he mean?
45:10You want to save your queen?
45:12Then hurry up.
45:29I wonder who it could be.
45:31Who do you think?
45:32Nobody but King Alex himself would make such an entrance.
45:36Alex?
45:37No, it couldn't be him.
45:45This place.
45:58I can't do this.
46:00Take me back.
46:01I can't.
46:02Alex.
46:11Alex?
46:13What are you doing?
46:15Regina.
46:20You're safe.
46:21I thought I lost you.
46:22There's something I should have told you a long time ago, but I didn't know how to.
46:27I already know.
46:28You're in love with someone else.
46:30I saw the photo.
46:33It's not true.
46:35That woman, my family, is gone.
46:40Years ago, I fell in love with a woman my kingdom would never accept.
46:46Catherine.
46:49We had a son together.
46:51When my mother found out, she banished them both from Obsidian.
46:58For three years, I searched everywhere.
47:02Until I found them in a small town in Greenland.
47:07They had built a quiet little life there.
47:10Safe.
47:11Happy.
47:12But I was selfish.
47:14I begged them to come back with me.
47:16I promised Catherine I'd fight for her this time.
47:20And that I'd make her my queen.
47:23On the journey home, a storm tore our ship apart.
47:29I survived.
47:31But the sea took them both.
47:32If I had just left them alone, they'd still be alive.
47:36I... I killed them.
47:38Hey. Hey.
47:42It's not your fault?
47:44No kind words will ever allow me to forgive myself.
47:47The least I can do is not hurt you as well.
47:50But I've already failed that too.
47:53I convinced myself loving again would end the same way.
47:56I couldn't handle the thought of losing you too, so...
48:00I let fear control me.
48:05Alex, their deaths were not your fault.
48:09I'm sure they would want you to forgive yourself.
48:12Of course you'd understand.
48:14How could I have been so foolish?
48:18Regina, will you please return to Obsidian with me?
48:26Um...
48:26No.
48:33You have to make a choice, Alex.
48:35You can stay in the past, punishing yourself for something you can't change.
48:39Or you can choose me.
48:41She's right in front of you.
48:43What are you waiting for?
48:46You've been torturing yourself for so long.
48:49It's okay to let go.
48:52I want more than half of you.
48:54I need all of you, Alex.
48:57Because I fell in love with you.
49:00And it terrifies me that you don't feel the same way.
49:08I don't know what to say.
49:10Either you're in love with me,
49:12or we can't keep doing this.
49:14What's it going to be?
49:17Say it.
49:18Please.
49:19Just say it.
49:28We have to get out of here.
49:30Not until you make a decision.
49:32I...
49:33need time.
49:35Please.
49:36Come back to Obsidian.
49:38Don't leave with everything between us unresolved.
49:51He asked for time.
49:53So I gave it to him.
49:59She gave me the time I asked for.
50:03But my fear is taking over me.
50:08Weeks passed.
50:12It started to feel like he wasn't coming back.
50:16I came back.
50:18A hundred times.
50:19I just never found the courage to walk in.
50:23So I did what I always do.
50:26I got stronger.
50:28And I did what I always do.
50:31And fell apart.
50:43Your majesty.
50:44These were ordered by the king.
50:46Of course.
50:47I was only ever here to give him an heir.
50:49He was never going to love me.
50:56I've already lost a family to the sea.
50:59I won't risk losing you too.
51:01Even if it means
51:02I have to stay away from you.
51:06But time can wear down even marble.
51:10Where are you, Alex?
51:19Hey, sis.
51:21Hey.
51:24I'm watching your second store opening on YouTube Live.
51:27Congrats to the baddest bitch I know.
51:30Thanks.
51:33I guess...
51:34You don't sound well.
51:36Are you alright?
51:37I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown.
51:39Still no response?
51:41The audacity.
51:42He's lucky to have someone as patient as you.
51:45I've been keeping myself busy.
51:47You're so strong.
51:49With or without a man.
51:51You were always destined for greatness.
51:54Yes.
51:55You are right.
51:58I'm thinking of getting a divorce.
52:01What?
52:18His majesty has outdone himself.
52:20An heir to obsidian.
52:22Worth every bit of it.
52:23Well, it is the royal baby shower.
52:26I can't find the mother-to-be.
52:28Where is the beautiful pregnant mama?
52:34Excuse me.
52:46Did you tell him?
52:48Not yet.
52:50I don't want to kill his celebration.
52:55Regina?
52:57I tried, Reyna.
52:58I really did.
52:59I thought, maybe this could be something real.
53:04Something lasting.
53:05A love story for the ages.
53:08But it's clear now what he wants.
53:10Just a baby.
53:11He held up his end.
53:13Helped me build our business.
53:15This was never meant to be something more than a contract.
53:18I'm...
53:19I'm just stupid.
53:21For thinking there was anything more to it.
53:23So it's only fair that I complete my end of the contract.
53:26Give him his heir.
53:27Get a divorce and walk away.
53:33What did you just say?
53:38What did you just say?
53:41I'll...
53:41Give you two a minute.
53:46Why are you here?
53:48Where were you when I needed you?
53:51You think organizing my baby shower is supposed to make everything okay?
53:57You think I'm just gonna run into your arms and kiss you?
54:00I didn't realize you were so upset with me.
54:03I...
54:03I thought being away from you was a good idea.
54:05Really?
54:06Alex?
54:07When your wife is pregnant, do you think being away is the best decision?
54:11Are you for real?
54:13I gave you space and you abandoned me, Alex.
54:16You clearly don't respect me enough to involve me in your life.
54:19I'm not even sure you love me.
54:21So...
54:23It's best that I leave.
54:33I fell in love with you the first night I met you.
54:37At that gala.
54:39I love you, Regina.
54:42Please don't go.
54:43Love isn't going to cut it.
54:44I need accountability.
54:46I need to know you're gonna be there for me.
54:50You're right.
54:51I've spent so long letting the past control me that it became my reality.
54:57It's made me a terrible partner.
54:59And now when you...
55:00When you spoke about divorce, it hit me.
55:04I'm ashamed to call myself your husband.
55:07All I'm asking is that you let me in.
55:10I know I don't deserve it.
55:11But if you can ever forgive me, I swear I will be by your side until the day I die.
55:20Do you swear to never keep anything from me again?
55:24I do.
55:25Do you swear to never abandon me and my baby?
55:29I do.
55:30Do you swear to see me as your partner?
55:32Not just the mother of your heir?
55:45Do you swear to give me one incredible foot massage a week once this baby pops out of me?
55:58I can agree to those conditions.
56:01I'll treat you like the queen you are.
56:05Finally.
56:27Your Majesties,
56:28Honored Nobles and Ministers,
56:30esteemed guests,
56:31tonight the Kingdom of Obsidian gathers not only in celebration,
56:35but to witness history.
56:36On this evening,
56:38by decree of His Majesty King Alexander of Obsidian,
56:41we assemble to formally crown Regina Devereaux
56:45as Queen of Obsidian.
56:49To you,
57:32Now, I finally belong here.
57:38Long live Queen Regina!
57:42Our beautiful queen.
57:56Look at you!
57:58A whole queen!
58:01You're one to talk.
58:02May your child be healthy, strong, and just as stubborn as its mother.
58:08God help us all if that happens.
58:18Our son will be strong and courageous.
58:21He'll be the finest polo player in Obsidian.
58:23Oh, and he'll be playing red-blooded American football.
58:26That is not a respectable sport.
58:28I won't allow it.
58:29What if it's a girl?
58:31Then she'll speak five languages, ride horses, and terrify Parliament.
58:37Now that I can get behind.
58:41And she'll be just like her mother, taking over the world without breaking a sweat.
58:48And just like that, I found my king.
58:53I love you, Regina.
58:56I love you too, Alex.
59:09Regina?
59:10Alex.
59:12I think it's time.
59:17Let's go.
