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!
00:00:29Your noble highness, your escape game is over.
00:00:34So this is how a crown dies.
00:00:40Dare kill people in front of me?!
00:00:59You boys got some nerve. Shooting people on my fucking land. Right 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.
00:01:31Fuck.
00:01:40Damn it.
00:01:41Fuck.
00:01:54Fuck.
00:02:00Fuck.
00:02:01am I? Tough son of a bitch. You're alive. Who are you? Who sent you? You dare move against
00:02:15me? I dragged you back from death's door. Your life belongs to me. You saved me? Damn
00:02:26right I saved you. Nobody kills anyone on my ranch. You said my life is yours, so how
00:02:32do you plan to use it? What are you talking about? You saved my life, leaning in this
00:02:45close, collecting your debt. I don't mind. Stop being such a tease. I'm not into men.
00:02:57Such a strong reaction. I almost thought it was love at first sight. Bullshit. Drink your
00:03:06medicine and get the hell out tomorrow. With injuries like this, you really don't care?
00:03:12Why would I feel sorry for a man? Get the hell out! This badge is solid gold. I know you
00:03:19need
00:03:20money. I can rent this room to recover. I'm injured. Can't run. You can tie me to this
00:03:26bed every day. Or treat me any way you like. Deal. I'll rent it to you. Don't step one foot
00:03:32outside this room and put some damn clothes on. You can't escape cowboy. Take my family
00:03:38trees. You're mine.
00:03:47Get out.
00:03:51The Energy Corporation has their eye on the oil field under your land. This is the $500,000
00:03:57loan shark note your old man left behind. Do today. Either sign and sell, or I'll seize
00:04:04your ranch and throw you in prison to rot. I paid that off three years ago, you forging
00:04:09bastards. Texas law is whatever I say it is. Luke, I always liked that wild stallion temper
00:04:19of yours. That $500,000 debt. Maybe I can help you out. Go fuck yourself! Ow! You dare assaulting
00:04:32officer! Want to die on my land? I'll grant your wish. Now take your lappings and get the
00:04:36hell out. Kid, you don't have the guts to pull that trigger.
00:04:45Wild stallion, huh? Today I'm going to break you in real good.
00:04:54Get your fucking hands off me!
00:05:03You fat bastard. I'll blow you full of holes.
00:05:23Fat pig.
00:05:27That's our chief! Stop! You're assaulting an officer!
00:05:30Take this slab of loud and get out. If you don't disappear from my sight in 10 seconds.
00:05:35Next time it goes straight through your eye sockets. I keep my word.
00:05:57Brought down by vermin like that? Where's that five heads and five shots wildness, cowboy?
00:06:10It's off. Don't touch me! Pick up the key and undo these cuffs!
00:06:26Don't touch me! Pick up the key and undo these cuffs!
00:06:32Feel what? Be specific. I can feel it. You're so hot. Especially here.
00:06:44Stop moving anymore and I won't be able to control myself.
00:06:47And don't.
00:06:57Looks like I'm not the only one losing control.
00:07:02Hey! What's wrong?
00:07:11Don't you dare die on me!
00:07:13I saved your virtue and chased off the men you couldn't.
00:07:16This debt. How do you plan to repay it?
00:07:2317 stitches.
00:07:24Damn, harder than sewing up a horse leg. What the hell are you made of?
00:07:28No anesthesia during the whole thing 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.
00:07:39Not a normal person. Military, assassin, or something more dangerous.
00:07:48You're awake! Let go! I was wiping the blood off your wound!
00:07:51Wiping blood? Or were you trying to feel me up while I was unconscious?
00:07:56Like that fat pig sheriff this afternoon?
00:07:58Bullshit! I'm not into men!
00:08:05Answer me one question.
00:08:07This afternoon, when that sheriff pressed his greasy fat hand on your chest,
00:08:13did you get hard?
00:08:17Are you out of your goddamn mind?
00:08:19I was disgusted!
00:08:21I wanted to chop up his head, feed him to the wolves!
00:08:30I believe you.
00:08:34And what about now?
00:08:38When I touch you, why does your heart race like it's about to explode?
00:08:46Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
00:08:48What the hell?
00:08:50Why did I react to his touch? It's a stress response. Yes! A stress response!
00:08:56What's going on? Is your heart stirring?
00:08:58You touch me one more time, and I'm kicking you off this ranch tomorrow!
00:09:02A straight man getting groped by you? I'm gonna have PTSD!
00:09:09Sure. But before you throw me out, remember to repay those two life debts you owe me first.
00:09:18I have all night. I can teach you slowly how to repay.
00:09:23Stop talking! Shut up! I can't hear you! I'm sleeping in the stable!
00:09:30Ears that red, heart that fast, yet denying everything he's got.
00:09:35No rush. I have all the patience in the world.
00:09:53Fuck. Couldn't sleep all night.
00:09:58Can't stop thinking about that lunaturk's face.
00:10:01The temperature of his hand on my chest.
00:10:04No! It was cold! I remember it was ice cold!
00:10:08Not some goddamn sensation! Fuck! Stop thinking!
00:10:25What are you doing?
00:10:27Your pants were too low. Helping you pull them up.
00:10:32Only a little bit.
00:10:34Not even a little!
00:10:37Someone is coming.
00:10:48I'm not selling. Take your money and your dogs and get off my land.
00:10:52I'm not here today to discuss a sale. I'm here to inform you of a legal fact.
00:10:57This ranch shall be inherited at Luke Anderson.
00:11:00But should Luke fail to enter into a lawful marriage by the age of 25,
00:11:04ownership shall automatically revert to the state land trust for public auction.
00:11:08This is the will your grandfather, old Anderson, left behind.
00:11:13The original has been kept in the county courthouse archives.
00:11:17You've never read it carefully, have you?
00:11:20Unfortunately, our company has already signed a pre-purchase agreement with the state land trust.
00:11:25And tomorrow is your 25th birthday.
00:11:31At 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?
00:11:53Using legal loopholes to corner prey.
00:11:56Crude 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.
00:12:06No woman would dare marry him.
00:12:07But this is the perfect chance to tame a wild stallion.
00:12:12No woman would dare marry him.
00:12:32Whiskey. Double. Neat.
00:12:41Another.
00:12:47Where's Mary? Susan? Linda? Any girl in town?
00:12:50Anyone willing to go to City Hall with me tomorrow and register a marriage? I'll pay $2,000.
00:12:54No use. Luke Richard already put the word out yesterday.
00:12:58The girls don't not want to help. Their families won't let them.
00:13:07The girls don't want to help.
00:13:08Too bad all the girls have run off. I'm the only one left.
00:13:11How about this? Get on your knees and beg me. Right here in front of everyone.
00:13:15Your ranch? Call it your dowry for my daddy. How's that sound?
00:13:18Luke's gonna be a kept man! Five bucks says he actually kneels.
00:13:24What? Cat got your tongue? Thinking about-
00:13:27Go! Fuck!
00:13:39Enough! Everyone stops! Luke! Calm down!
00:14:07Did fighting solve anything?
00:14:17No. They bought off everyone. Not one left. Tomorrow at sunset I lose this place.
00:14:23This land isn't just property to you. It's memories. It's home. It's your roots.
00:14:31Losing it means being uprooted entirely.
00:14:46I read every word of that three times today.
00:14:50How? It's not about money. Even if you're loaded, can you outspend an energy corporation?
00:14:56There's only one loophole in that deed.
00:14:58What loophole? Where? It says enter into a lawful marriage. It doesn't decifies that your spouse must be a woman.
00:15:10I can help you.
00:15:15How can you help me?
00:15:30Marry me.
00:15:38Are you out of your mind?
00:15:44Do you have another choice?
00:15:46Do you have another choice?
00:15:4814 hours. Not a single woman in town.
00:15:50I'm straight!
00:15:55Then watch this land become a drilling platform tomorrow. I won't touch you. No pretending.
00:16:01Why would you help me? What's in it for you?
00:16:03You let me recover here until I can leave.
00:16:06Why should I trust you?
00:16:08You don't have a choice.
00:16:13Decide before dawn. After sunrise, the offer expires.
00:16:28But I'm a straight man.
00:16:30Marrying another man?
00:16:32If grandpa found out, would he climb out of his grave and slap me?
00:16:36No, you wouldn't.
00:16:37You'd say, keeping the land matters more than anything.
00:16:41Your whole life revolved around this land.
00:16:44Fuck it. First thing tomorrow morning.
00:16:58I agree.
00:16:59Get dressed. City hall opens at eight.
00:17:01Let me be clear.
00:17:03This is a deal.
00:17:04Fine.
00:17:05Don't come near me.
00:17:06And no more of that crazy talk.
00:17:08Fine.
00:17:10Wait.
00:17:11Can you bend over?
00:17:13The wound will tear open.
00:17:30You look good on your knees.
00:17:32Next time I'll make you walk barefoot.
00:17:34And one more thing.
00:17:36Don't tell anyone it's fake.
00:17:37Of course.
00:17:39We need to make it look very real.
00:17:57You two?
00:18:08You misspelled your name.
00:18:23Please stand facing each other.
00:18:25Mr. Luke, do you take Mr. Lewis Davalas as your lawful spouse?
00:18:30I do.
00:18:32Mr. Lewis, do you take Mr. Luke Anderson as your lawful spouse?
00:18:34I do.
00:18:35You may now exchange tokens, if you have any.
00:18:41Does this count?
00:18:49A bit small.
00:18:52Might do.
00:18:55Congratulations.
00:18:56You are now lawful spouses.
00:18:58Printed on the same paper, I actually fucking married a man.
00:19:17Mr. Anderson, the sun's setting.
00:19:19Ready to move out?
00:19:22Nice suit today, funeral style.
00:19:25The rude, filthy barbarian.
00:19:32Mr. Richard, this is a lawful marriage certificate issued this morning.
00:19:36Luke Anderson has entered into matrimony with his lawful spouse as of today.
00:19:42Impossible.
00:20:05Your Royal Highness Prince Albert, your nephew got married in Texas to an American cowboy, a cattle rancher.
00:20:11Interesting.
00:20:12Send Grey Wolf to handle it.
00:20:14The oil field under that land is worth billions.
00:20:16Secure it at all costs.
00:20:19You said you wouldn't touch me!
00:20:20Acting.
00:20:21You want him to find out it's a fake marriage?
00:20:2437 more performances to go.
00:20:26Get used to it.
00:20:2737 says who?
00:20:28Why 37?
00:20:30Where'd he get that number?
00:20:31Wait, that's not, not the point.
00:20:33The point is, he kissed me!
00:20:35Corner of my mouth!
00:20:36Cold!
00:20:37Three seconds!
00:20:38Why three seconds and not one?
00:20:41Why am I counting?
00:20:42Why are his lips so soft?
00:20:43Wait, no!
00:20:53You can't go to the stable.
00:20:55Why not?
00:20:56Richard will have people watching.
00:20:59You sleeping in the stable every night while your husband has the bedroom alone?
00:21:04Proof of a fake marriage.
00:21:05Then you take the couch!
00:21:0817 stitches.
00:21:12Fine, you take the bed!
00:21:13I'll sleep on the floor!
00:21:28All I can think about is the feel of his lips on the corner of my mouth.
00:21:35Cold.
00:21:35His lips were cold.
00:21:37Three seconds.
00:21:38Why the corner of my mouth?
00:21:40If it's just acting, a cheek kiss would have been enough.
00:21:43What does the corner of the mouth mean?
00:21:44Stop!
00:21:45Why am I thinking about this?
00:21:46This is a deal.
00:21:58Move his hand away.
00:22:00Move it now.
00:22:02Fuck.
00:22:03I'm done for.
00:22:16I'm done for.
00:22:16Good morning.
00:22:18Your shrivel is pricky.
00:22:20You!
00:22:20When did you wake up?
00:22:25A little before you.
00:22:27Put some clothes on!
00:22:30I am dressed.
00:22:31Your shirt's just too big.
00:22:34He's doing it on purpose.
00:22:35Has to be.
00:22:36From head to toe, every single thing is deliberate.
00:22:38He won't look at me, but the tips of his ears are bright red.
00:22:42Interesting.
00:22:45I'll go make breakfast.
00:22:46You can cook?
00:22:48It's over.
00:22:49I'm completely done for.
00:22:55The heat's not quite right.
00:22:58Can you actually cook or not?
00:23:00No.
00:23:01Never been in a kitchen.
00:23:04You've lived over 20 years?
00:23:05What do you live on?
00:23:06Photosynthesis?
00:23:07Someone cooked for me.
00:23:08What kind of person never enters a kitchen?
00:23:11Forget it.
00:23:11Not my business.
00:23:14Move!
00:23:14You're in the way!
00:23:16Your ears are red again.
00:23:18It's hot!
00:23:18The stove is hot!
00:23:21The stove isn't on yet.
00:23:31He looks unexpectedly good when he cooks.
00:23:36For me, you lost a lot of blood.
00:23:38Don't think so much.
00:23:43It's good.
00:23:48Leave it.
00:23:49You doing dishes is more dangerous than you cooking.
00:23:51All right.
00:23:52Thank you, husband.
00:23:55Don't call me that!
00:23:57It's what the marriage certificate says.
00:24:01That's fake!
00:24:02Fake.
00:24:03He says it's fake.
00:24:04Then why cook breakfast for two?
00:24:05And remember I lost a lot of blood?
00:24:07Why did he make that face when he said it's good?
00:24:09Like, no one's ever cooked for him before.
00:24:31I don't know.
00:24:32Three men.
00:24:33150 meters.
00:24:35Coming from the east.
00:24:44You take the back door.
00:24:46I'll take the front.
00:24:46No.
00:24:47You take the back and lay down suppressing fire.
00:24:49I'll wait at the window.
00:25:05Your highness.
00:25:06Your uncle sends a message.
00:25:08The throne has no need for a king who sleeps with men.
00:25:16You come onto my land and touch my people?
00:25:18Your people?
00:25:20Cowboy, do you even know what you're protecting?
00:25:22You're just his pawn.
00:25:23Use and discard.
00:25:24That's what royals do.
00:25:26I don't give a fuck about being a pawn.
00:25:31I chose this.
00:25:34He said I chose this.
00:25:36Not in a church.
00:25:37Not in front of city hall.
00:25:38Not before a judge and witnesses.
00:25:39He said it with his boot on an assassin's face,
00:25:42covered in blood under moonlight.
00:25:43He heavier than any vow.
00:25:45You okay?
00:25:46I'm fine.
00:25:57Your uncle sent them?
00:25:59Yeah.
00:26:02Was it always like this?
00:26:04Running alone?
00:26:06Dealing with assassins alone?
00:26:10Most of the time, yes.
00:26:11Those old scars on your body.
00:26:13Knife scars.
00:26:14Bullet wounds.
00:26:15Whip marks.
00:26:16All from them.
00:26:17Souvenirs.
00:26:19All alone.
00:26:21Weren't you scared?
00:26:22No one has ever asked me this.
00:26:24No one has ever asked, were you scared?
00:26:26You're the first person to ever ask me that.
00:26:27Give me that.
00:26:30You don't have to carry it alone anymore.
00:26:32On my land, you're my people.
00:26:33Doesn't matter who comes.
00:26:35Okay.
00:26:36Wait.
00:26:37You have wounds on your back too.
00:26:39It's nothing, doesn't-
00:26:41When you stitched me up with 17 stitches, did I say no need?
00:26:51Hurt?
00:26:53No.
00:26:55How about here?
00:26:57No.
00:27:00The neck.
00:27:01The neck.
00:27:01His weak spot is his neck.
00:27:03Noted.
00:27:03When he touched my neck, I almost-
00:27:05No, don't think about it.
00:27:07Heart rate, 120.
00:27:09Faster than during the fight just now.
00:27:18What's wrong?
00:27:22Luke, come sit down and look at this.
00:27:25Lone Star Energy Corporation, registered in the US.
00:27:27But peel back the parent company layer by layer, shell companies within shell companies,
00:27:31offshore trust wrapped in funds, the ultimate beneficial owner, Albert DeVoes, my uncle.
00:27:36You're telling me the energy corporation trying to steal my ranch and the people trying to kill you?
00:27:40Do they have the same man behind them?
00:27:42Yes.
00:27:42There's a massive oil reserve beneath your land.
00:27:44My uncle needs enormous funds for his coup.
00:27:47He bankrolled Richard's Energy Company, funneling Texas oil profits to fund the coup in Europe.
00:27:51That bastard used my family's land to feed his army?
00:27:54It goes beyond that.
00:27:55More importantly, he already knew I might flee, flee to the Texas border.
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, my ranch wasn't just targeted by some corrupt company?
00:28:12No.
00:28:12A fucking European prince used it as an ACM and set a trap for you at the same time?
00:28:16Yes.
00:28:16You and I have been played by the same man from the very start.
00:28:20Then we fight back!
00:28:21Expose that son of a bitch down to the bone!
00:28:23I've been waiting for you to say that.
00:28:24This is my plan.
00:28:25Step one, gather evidence of Lone Star's illegal activities in Texas and file in federal court.
00:28:31Step two, pressure through the US government to freeze my uncle's American assets.
00:28:34Step three, go back.
00:28:36Reclaim the throne since my second day on your ranch.
00:28:39All right, you be the strategist, I'll be the muscle.
00:28:42You're more than just muscle.
00:28:43Then what am I?
00:28:44You're the variable I never anticipated.
00:28:46The only variable.
00:28:48Luke?
00:28:52If it weren't for the ranch, Will, and all this mess, would you ever marry a man?
00:28:56No.
00:28:57I know.
00:29:00Your hands are made for holding scepters, not wire.
00:29:03Cut yourself and I'll have to stitch you up again.
00:29:05You're better at stitching people than horse legs now.
00:29:07I told you not to touch.
00:29:11Thanks.
00:29:12Stop getting in the way.
00:29:14Go sit over there and read.
00:29:15He says he wouldn't, but the tips of his ears turned red.
00:29:19He doesn't know that either.
00:29:21He wouldn't.
00:29:22He said he wouldn't.
00:29:23Then what am I doing?
00:29:27Let's head back.
00:29:28Time to cook.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:43Last time's score isn't settled.
00:29:46Get behind me.
00:29:48Brought your little lover along?
00:29:50The whole town's laughing at you.
00:29:52Relying on some pale-skinned sissy?
00:30:13He fights like an unseathed blade, clean, precise, no mercy.
00:30:18Not street fighting, trained since childhood, military-grade combat.
00:30:22But his face?
00:30:23Why does he look this good?
00:30:25Stop.
00:30:26Don't think about it.
00:30:28What are you looking at?
00:30:32Your shirt's torn.
00:30:36Then stop looking.
00:30:38Don't look.
00:30:39Not allowed to look.
00:30:40He's not buttoning up.
00:30:41On purpose.
00:30:41He's definitely doing it on purpose.
00:30:43Absolutely not looking.
00:30:45Not even if it kills me.
00:30:46He says he's not looking.
00:30:48But Adams Burkle just bobbed twice.
00:30:52Even the way he bends over is at that angle.
00:30:55Good God.
00:31:01To bring down Richard and my uncle together, we need one key piece of evidence.
00:31:07What correspondence?
00:31:15My uncle never uses electronic communication.
00:31:18All orders are sent via encrypted, handwritten letters.
00:31:22Those letters are all stored in the safe in Richard's office.
00:31:29Then let's steal them.
00:31:30Can you crack a safe?
00:31:33No.
00:31:34But you can.
00:31:36You open handcuffs with a hairpin.
00:31:37Tonight.
00:31:39You create the diversion and lure them away.
00:31:51Don't die.
00:32:02Richard!
00:32:04Get out here!
00:32:05Time to settle the score!
00:32:18Orders to acquire land.
00:32:20Clear money tracks.
00:32:21Instructions for Richard to deal with dissenters.
00:32:27Your Highness, I knew you'd come.
00:32:31Richard.
00:32:32This gun, under my uncle's orders, kill me?
00:32:36His Royal Highness said,
00:32:38Alive is preferred, dead works too.
00:32:50Give my uncle a message for me.
00:32:53His game ends here.
00:33:06Up there just now, were you scared when he pointed the gun at you?
00:33:10Didn't you jump down from the ceiling?
00:33:11I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time.
00:33:32Lone stranking.
00:33:33Forged wills.
00:33:35Bribing law enforcement.
00:33:38Systematic plundering of ranchers' land.
00:33:41Beneficial owner, Prince Albert.
00:33:45International political conspiracy.
00:33:56The forged clauses are void.
00:33:58Morningstar Ranch belongs to Luke McBrien.
00:34:04All illegal debts are hereby dismissed.
00:34:08Richard Hall is remounded to federal court.
00:34:13Document forgery.
00:34:15Illegal possession of firearms.
00:34:18Prince Albert.
00:34:19An international arrest warrant has been issued.
00:34:31It's over.
00:34:33The ranch is saved.
00:34:36Yeah.
00:34:40Then our deal is complete too.
00:34:45You no longer need this, Mary.
00:34:49He's pulling me.
00:34:51He pulled me first.
00:34:54Luke.
00:34:55Don't say it.
00:34:58That sound.
00:35:00I want to hear it a hundred times.
00:35:02A thousand times.
00:35:04Are you sure about this?
00:35:06After tonight, there's no going back.
00:35:10Since the day you fell outside my barbed wire,
00:35:17there's been no going back.
00:35:21Who's the one being a tease now, cowboy?
00:35:24These scars, there won't be any more.
00:35:26No one is allowed to hurt you again.
00:35:29All the masks.
00:35:30Shattered them, let it shatter.
00:35:32Lewis.
00:35:47This man is mine.
00:35:49Not a chess piece.
00:35:50Not a deal.
00:35:52Not fake.
00:35:54When he sleeps, the edge is gone.
00:35:56Not a blade.
00:35:57Not a chess piece.
00:35:58Like a cat.
00:36:00Curled up in my arms.
00:36:02He's mine.
00:36:10He bit me.
00:36:12Last night, he...
00:36:30Those marks on your neck.
00:36:32A high collar would cover them.
00:36:35Why would I cover them?
00:36:38Unless you mind?
00:36:45Thanks, cowboy.
00:36:47Last night's fierce, dominating man.
00:36:49Now blushing to his ears.
00:36:50Not daring to look at me.
00:36:52How lovely.
00:37:09Louis, my fiancée.
00:37:13I finally found you.
00:37:15Victoria, you shouldn't be here.
00:37:20You must be the cowboy.
00:37:21I'm Victoria Habsburg, Louis's fiancée.
00:37:24Fiancée?
00:37:25He has a fiancée?
00:37:26He's already married.
00:37:27To me.
00:37:39Louis, the whole court is talking.
00:37:41The crown prince married a cattle rancher.
00:37:43All of Europe is laughing.
00:37:48My private business.
00:37:51Your private business?
00:37:56The engagement was automatically voided during the coup.
00:37:58You know that.
00:38:00I'm not here to argue.
00:38:06Parliament needs you.
00:38:08The country needs you.
00:38:13Don't touch me.
00:38:16Mr. Luke, a personal question.
00:38:22Do you really think what you and Louis have is real?
00:38:28This is his world.
00:38:30Power, politics, marriage as a chess game.
00:38:32He was trained to be the perfect strategic machine.
00:38:35Getting close to you, saving you, marrying you.
00:38:37You think that wasn't strategy?
00:38:40I'm not leaving.
00:38:41I've booked a hotel in town.
00:38:45Was what she said true?
00:38:48Which part?
00:38:50The engagement.
00:38:52It's true.
00:38:53There was one before the coup.
00:38:55A political marriage.
00:38:57No feelings involved.
00:38:58And when she called you a strategic machine who uses everyone, what about that?
00:39:08She says he uses everyone.
00:39:10But last night when he lay beneath me calling my name,
00:39:13his voice was trembling.
00:39:16A quiver from deep in his throat.
00:39:18With a catch like he was about to cry.
00:39:32Your Highnessness, are you really going to take the Crown Prince back?
00:39:35Albert has already been arrested.
00:39:38Albert is Albert.
00:39:40I am me.
00:39:46I am not here doing his bidding.
00:39:54From that day, I spent nine years making myself the woman most worthy of you.
00:39:59Studied the international law you loved.
00:40:01Memorized six case books.
00:40:03Read the Vaudelofsky you adored, until I could recite Le Fleur du Maud by heart.
00:40:07Practiced the fencing you favored, until my wrist was injured and bandaged for three months.
00:40:11You still didn't see me, nine years.
00:40:14The number of times you looked at me I can count on one hand.
00:40:17Every time, polite, distant, treating me like a guest.
00:40:20But you saw a cowboy.
00:40:21A cowboy who smells of horse masher.
00:40:23You gave up the throne for him.
00:40:25You wore dirty boots for him.
00:40:27You, smile at him.
00:40:29A smile I've never seen you wear, one that shows teeth.
00:40:32Not the palace kind.
00:40:36You don't belong here.
00:40:38You belong with me.
00:40:55He's avoiding me.
00:40:57Before yesterday, he never avoided my touch.
00:41:01Your favorite French pastries from when you were little?
00:41:04Flown in from Paris.
00:41:05Macarons and opera cake?
00:41:07No need.
00:41:08You had them every birthday.
00:41:09Stay here long enough and you forget?
00:41:11That woman standing next to him.
00:41:13That's the right picture.
00:41:15Well matched.
00:41:16Perfect couple.
00:41:17What am I?
00:41:18A cattle rancher.
00:41:20Hands full of calluses.
00:41:21Can't even speak French.
00:41:25He's pulling away.
00:41:26I can feel him pulling away.
00:41:27Not anger.
00:41:29Not jealousy.
00:41:41What exactly do you want?
00:41:43To lay my cards on the table.
00:41:52Albert may be arrested.
00:41:54But his people in parliament haven't been fully purged.
00:41:57Three in the finance committee are his.
00:41:59Two in military staff.
00:42:02One in intelligence.
00:42:04Your cousin can't hold things together.
00:42:09He's too young.
00:42:11Too soft.
00:42:12Two months.
00:42:14And he hasn't removed a single one.
00:42:16The country is sliding towards civil unrest.
00:42:22I abacated.
00:42:26For a cowboy?
00:42:28You're the most brilliant heir in 800 years.
00:42:31You have the blood of kings in your veins.
00:42:34You can't throw everything away for a...
00:42:37Are you done?
00:42:42Let me put it another way.
00:42:45If you don't come back with me.
00:42:47I'll destroy him.
00:42:50Him?
00:42:51Your cowboy.
00:42:53Albert still has a remnant network in Texas.
00:42:56Not yet dismantled.
00:42:58The contact lines are in my hands.
00:43:01I can make it disappear.
00:43:03One phone call.
00:43:06Or I can point it at your cowboy.
00:43:08You're threatening me.
00:43:09I'm giving you a choice.
00:43:11Come with me.
00:43:12Your cowboy lives a safe life, ranching forever.
00:43:15No one touches him.
00:43:17Or you stay.
00:43:19And watch him go down with you.
00:43:23You've changed, Victoria.
00:43:25You weren't this kind of person.
00:43:27You made me this way.
00:43:28I cried alone in my room the entire night.
00:43:30Three days.
00:43:31I'm giving you three days to decide.
00:43:35If I don't handle this,
00:43:37Luke will never be safe.
00:43:38I have to resolve this.
00:43:40Even if I have to leave him.
00:43:53You've been off all day.
00:43:57What did she say to you?
00:43:59Nothing.
00:44:00You're lying to me.
00:44:02You never say nothing.
00:44:04Every time you say nothing, you're scheming.
00:44:08He shook off my hand.
00:44:10He's never done that.
00:44:11Never.
00:44:12Not even at the very beginning.
00:44:13When he was still testing me, he never shook me off.
00:44:16He'd only grab my hand and press it to his face.
00:44:23I may need to leave for a while.
00:44:25Where?
00:44:26Back to Europe.
00:44:27Handle some things.
00:44:29With that woman?
00:44:37Say it to my face!
00:44:39If I don't go handle certain things,
00:44:41you'll never be safe.
00:44:43What things?
00:44:44Tell me!
00:44:44We'll handle it together!
00:44:46I can't.
00:44:48Not this time.
00:44:49Why?!
00:44:50Because you're my weakness.
00:44:53As long as you're by my side, they can always use you to threaten me.
00:44:56I have to go alone.
00:44:58After Handled, if you still want me to, I'll come back.
00:45:02If?
00:45:04What do you mean, if?
00:45:07I've already made arrangements.
00:45:09I don't give a damn about your arrangements!
00:45:13Do you hear me?
00:45:14You.
00:45:15Fucking.
00:45:16Can't.
00:45:16Go!
00:45:17He said if I'm still alive.
00:45:19He spent his whole life calculating everyone.
00:45:22His words always carry three layers of meaning.
00:45:24But he said if.
00:45:26This is the first time he's uncertain of the ending.
00:45:37One last look.
00:45:39Remember this.
00:45:41It's right that he didn't come out.
00:45:42If he had, I couldn't leave.
00:45:44You made the right choice.
00:45:46Shut up.
00:45:54He left his goddamn keepsake with me.
00:45:57Not as a gift.
00:45:58For safekeeping.
00:45:59He still wants to come back for it.
00:46:02He said I will come back.
00:46:04Not if.
00:46:05He said will.
00:46:06He used will.
00:46:07He's waiting for me to go after him.
00:46:09Right?
00:46:09He's waiting.
00:46:10He has to be waiting.
00:46:14Midnight.
00:46:16He's gone.
00:46:18He left the goddamn ring with me.
00:46:22He's tricked me so many times, flirted with me, tested me, pretended to fall drunk into
00:46:27my arms and wouldn't get up.
00:46:29Scared me with a snake then pretended to be afraid and hugged me.
00:46:34Every time was calculated.
00:46:36Every time was calculated.
00:46:36I knew it.
00:46:38But when he said if I'm still alive, he wasn't smiling.
00:46:41That was the first time I'd ever seen him speak without smiling.
00:46:45Not even a crinkle at the corner of his eyes.
00:46:46Not even a curl of his lips.
00:46:48His face was white as paper.
00:46:53Fuck midnight.
00:47:06If you don't come back, I'll go to fucking Europe and drag you back.
00:47:21Your eyelashes tremble.
00:47:28You're thinking about him.
00:47:31None of your business.
00:47:33Lewis.
00:47:35You never used to show your weakness to him.
00:47:37Your eyelashes tremble.
00:47:39But now whenever I mention him, your breathing changes.
00:47:44Your fingers clench.
00:47:47Your eyelashes tremble.
00:47:50You really fell in love with him.
00:47:52I waited for you for nine years, since I was 14.
00:47:56Studied the law you love.
00:47:57Got a double degree at Cambridge.
00:48:00Practiced the fencing you favor.
00:48:01Won silver at the European Youth Championship.
00:48:03Made myself into the woman most worthy of you.
00:48:05Every step was for you.
00:48:10You never once truly looked at me.
00:48:16You deserve someone who truly loves you.
00:48:18Your eyelashes tremble.
00:48:20But that person isn't me.
00:48:21It never was.
00:48:27Fine.
00:48:28Then let's make a deal.
00:48:30You go back and deal with Albert's remnant forces.
00:48:32I'll use my family's intelligence network to help.
00:48:34My condition?
00:48:35You attend one public event with me.
00:48:37One last time.
00:48:38As my fiancé.
00:48:40After that, I officially dissolve the engagement.
00:48:42And let you go.
00:48:43Why?
00:48:44I need a dignified ending.
00:48:46My family needs closure.
00:48:47Nine years is no smile.
00:48:49My lashes tremble.
00:48:50One last time.
00:48:51One last time standing by your side.
00:48:53One last time pretending we still had a chance.
00:48:55After that, I let go.
00:48:58Nine years.
00:48:59Nine years.
00:49:02Whiskey?
00:49:05Just water.
00:49:11The blonde's gone?
00:49:14Yeah.
00:49:15Left with that woman?
00:49:20Yeah.
00:49:22You believe he'll come back?
00:49:27He left his goddamn keepsake with me.
00:49:31Then wait.
00:49:32Wait.
00:49:33I'll wait.
00:49:34But you'd better come back alive.
00:49:37If you dare die out there, I'll go to hell and drag you back.
00:49:55His body is here.
00:49:57His heart is not.
00:50:06You were thinking about him the whole time.
00:50:08This is the last time.
00:50:09After I deal with Albert's remnants tomorrow, I'm leaving.
00:50:14You're really going back to that dusty place?
00:50:17Sleep on that creaky iron bed?
00:50:20That bed may creak.
00:50:22But it's warm.
00:50:24That smile.
00:50:25He never had it in the palace.
00:50:26Never in front of me.
00:50:27From 14 to 23.
00:50:29Nine years.
00:50:30I've seen every expression of his.
00:50:32Cold, tired, polite, guarded.
00:50:34Never this one.
00:50:34The cowboy gave it to him.
00:50:36A rugged, calloused cowboy.
00:50:37Gave him something I could never give no matter how hard I tried.
00:50:40First thing tomorrow morning,
00:50:42my lawyer will send over the disillusion papers.
00:50:45Victoria.
00:50:45Don't say thank you.
00:50:47If you say thank you, I'll hate you.
00:50:54I'm sorry.
00:51:08I'm sorry.
00:51:09Like a creep.
00:51:11Whatever.
00:51:16Call or not.
00:51:17He said only for emergencies.
00:51:20Does missing him count as an emergency?
00:51:23No.
00:51:24Fuck.
00:51:26Where the hell are you?
00:51:27You said wait.
00:51:29I'm waiting.
00:51:30But if you don't come back,
00:51:32I'll go to fucking Europe and take you back.
00:51:35Even if I have to tear that shitty palace apart.
00:51:37Believe it.
00:51:42I'm sorry.
00:51:43Your Highness, Albert's last stronghold in Texas has been cleared by the FBI.
00:51:47On the European side, all family assets have been frozen.
00:51:51Swiss accounts, Levinstan trusts, Maltese shell companies, all sealed.
00:51:55His forces have been completely destroyed.
00:51:59Book the next flight back to Texas.
00:52:04Starting today, we have no relationship whatsoever.
00:52:08Don't thank me.
00:52:11Louis de Valois.
00:52:13The thing I hate most in this life is not meeting you before he did.
00:52:19Be good to your cowboy.
00:52:21He deserves you.
00:52:23Victoria.
00:52:24You deserve someone better too.
00:52:27Your Highness.
00:52:28The flight.
00:52:29The flight.
00:52:30We leave now.
00:52:38What's wrong?
00:52:51I'm back.
00:52:57Bastard.
00:53:02You were gone 12 days.
00:53:0511 days.
00:53:0712 days.
00:53:08I counted every single day.
00:53:10Every single hour.
00:53:13Don't leave again.
00:53:14I'm not leaving.
00:53:15Think.
00:53:22Whenever.
00:53:24Now, I let go.
00:53:33Remember.
00:53:34Just hold yourself on.
00:53:56You've lost weight.
00:53:58Miss me?
00:54:1912 days.
00:54:21He's lost so much weight.
00:54:25Collarbone's more prominent.
00:54:26I can feel his ribs.
00:54:29But he's back.
00:54:31He's on my bed.
00:54:32He's mine.
00:54:35Oh, 12 days.
00:54:37How do you plan to make it up?
00:54:47I'm not leaving.
00:54:48Never again.
00:54:50If you leave again, I'll tie you to this bed.
00:54:53Tie me with what?
00:54:55Rawhide 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.
00:55:05A dusty ranch.
00:55:07A rough, burning hot cowboy.
00:55:10This is the life I chose.
00:55:12The end of all my exile.
00:55:27This is what he means by my people.
00:55:29Not a chess piece on a board.
00:55:31Not a bargaining chip for political marriage.
00:55:33Not an appendage of the crown prince.
00:55:36Not anyone's tool.
00:55:37His.
00:55:38Just his.
00:55:47Don't move.
00:55:48My hair a bit longer.
00:55:50I'm not moving.
00:55:52Your hair is tickling my neck.
00:55:53Itchy.
00:55:55You're the one who put your chin on my head.
00:55:57The scent of his hair.
00:55:59Not shampoo.
00:56:01It's Luis's own scent.
00:56:03Same as the first day.
00:56:05Faint.
00:56:05Clean.
00:56:06No matter how many times I breathe it in.
00:56:30You've improved.
00:56:34Improved at what?
00:56:35You used to blush to the tips of your ears when you touched me.
00:56:43People change.
00:56:45Do 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.
00:57:07Your Highness, a few matters to report.
00:57:10Go ahead.
00:57:12Albert has been formally indicted by the International Criminal Court.
00:57:15Charges include treason, money laundering, and attempted murder.
00:57:18All Texas-affiliated enterprises have been seized.
00:57:22And Lone Star?
00:57:23Fully dissolved.
00:57:25Richard and the Corps management have been sentenced.
00:57:27Federal court handed down heavy sentences.
00:57:30They 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.
00:57:40Transfer all assets into a trust fund.
00:57:42Allocate 30% of the returns to the Morningstar Ranch Livestock Development Fund.
00:57:4630%?
00:57:48Did 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.
00:58:11Gene, I've already signed the Abcation Declaration.
00:58:14Don't bring this up again.
00:58:16Your Highness...
00:58:17Don't call me Your Highness.
00:58:19I just feel...
00:58:21If your mother were still alive...
00:58:24She 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.
00:58:37Thank you, Gene.
00:58:44That ring.
00:58:46He 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?
00:58:58No rush.
00:58:58He'll return it.
00:58:59In his own way.
00:59:01Luke 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.
00:59:27Too much sun.
00:59:43Have you ever regretted it?
00:59:44Hmm.
00:59:45Regret what?
00:59:47Everything.
00:59:48From the night you found me outside your barbed wire.
00:59:50To taking a bullet for me.
00:59:52To going back to Europe with me to face Albert.
00:59:54To now, all of it.
01:00:00You've asked many times.
01:00:03Because I'm never sure the answer won't change.
01:00:07What are you afraid of?
01:00:09That one day you'll look back and think it wasn't worth it.
01:00:15It won't change.
01:00:17How 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.
01:00:37You were.
01:00:38The corner of your lips was curved.
01:00:39I thought you were insane.
01:00:41Same here.
01:00:42The best thing I've ever done crashing outside your barbed wire.
01:00:47He says it won't change.
01:00:50I've finally found a place that won't collapse.
01:00:53Not 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.
01:01:01He never used to hide his face.
01:01:03He was used to facing everything head on.
01:01:06Now 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.
01:01:29This is my last official visit.
01:01:32Gene.
01:01:32Thank 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.
01:01:41The Royal Advisory Council signed off.
01:01:43As of today, you are officially no longer a member of the House of Valway.
01:01:50Good.
01:01:51This is your late mother's personal legacy to you.
01:01:53Jewelry, letters, and personal effects.
01:01:56Not part of royal property.
01:01:59Per her will, they belong to you personally, forever.
01:02:03Thank you, Gene.
01:02:0523 years.
01:02:08To 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.
01:02:22I know nothing.
01:02:23When did you two get so close?
01:02:25Mr. Anderson called me last night.
01:02:28Content's confidential.
01:02:29He specifically instructed me not to tell you.
01:02:34He's out all day.
01:02:35Told me not to look for him.
01:02:37What's he up to?
01:02:39Even got Gene to cover for him.
01:02:53Where were you all day?
01:02:55Went out for a bit.
01:02:57What 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.
01:03:06So I made one myself.
01:03:10This one I'm returning.
01:03:12You said you wanted me to keep it safe.
01:03:16Now I'm giving it back.
01:03:22No need.
01:03:24It's perfect as it is.
01:03:26Last 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.
01:03:48The lines of your back muscles look great when you chop wood.
01:03:53Can you talk like a normal person?
01:03:55No.
01:03:56Keep 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.
01:04:10What kind of look?
01:04:11You know damn well.
01:04:14I don't tell me.
01:04:20What are you laughing at?
01:04:24Remembering the first time you kissed me?
01:04:27What about it?
01:04:28You were nervous as a kid riding a horse for the first time.
01:04:33And now?
01:04:34Now 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.
01:04:40You thought you saved me?
01:04:41But 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?
01:05:03Come inside for dinner.
01:05:13Don't touch the pot.
01:05:15gleichg guacko.
01:05:21You did.
01:05:22Go!
01:05:22But this time you were like,
01:05:22What about you doing?
01:05:22There are so many ways you found me.
01:05:22I just never know!
