00:00:00Your highness! Run! The rebels have sealed the border!
00:00:09Run! My highness!
00:00:11Shut up! We leave together!
00:00:16Ah!

00:00:29Your noble highness, your escape game is over.
00:00:34So this is how a crown dies.
00:00:39You dare kill people in front of me?!
00:00:59You boys got some nerve
00:01:01Shooting people on my fucking land
00:01:05Right in front of me
00:01:09Lucky bastard
00:01:11You caught me on patrol
00:01:15His mouth tastes so good
00:01:17Smells even better than a woman's perfume
00:01:19Goddamn
00:01:22Fuck
00:01:23Found it
00:01:31Fuck

00:02:07You're alive
00:02:08Who are you?
00:02:09Who sent you?
00:02:13You dare move against me?
00:02:16I dragged you back from death's door
00:02:18Your life belongs to me
00:02:20You saved me?
00:02:26Damn right I saved you
00:02:27Nobody kills anyone on my ranch
00:02:29You said my life is yours
00:02:31You said my life is yours
00:02:32So how do you plan to use it?
00:02:34What are you talking about?
00:02:42You saved my life
00:02:44Leaning in this close
00:02:46Collecting your debt
00:02:49I don't mind
00:02:50Stop being such a tease
00:02:52I'm not into men
00:02:57Such a strong reaction
00:02:59I almost thought it was love at first sight
00:03:05Bullshit
00:03:05Drink your medicine
00:03:06And get the hell out tomorrow
00:03:09With injuries like this
00:03:11You really don't care
00:03:12Why would I feel sorry for a man?

00:03:22I'm injured

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!
00:03:36You can't escape cowboy
00:03:37Take my family treest
00:03:39You're mine
00:03:47Get out
00:03:51The energy corporation
00:03:52Has their eye on the oil field
00:03:54Under your land
00:03:55This is the $500,000 loan shark note
00:03:58Your old man left behind
00:03:59Do today
00:04:02Either sign and sell
00:04:03Or I'll seize your ranch
00:04:05And throw you in prison to rot
00:04:07I paid that off three years ago
00:04:08You forging bastards!
00:04:13Texas law
00:04:14Is whatever I say it is
00:04:16Luke
00:04:16I always liked that
00:04:18Wild stallion temper of yours
00:04:23That $500,000 debt
00:04:26Maybe I can help you out
00:04:27Go fuck yourself!
00:04:30Ow!
00:04:31You dare assaulting officers!
00:04:33Want to die on my land?
00:04:34I'll grant your wish
00:04:35Now take your lapigs
00:04:36And get the hell out
00:04:37Kid
00:04:38You don't have the guts
00:04:39To pull that trigger
00:04:45Wild stallion
00:04:46Today I'm going to
00:04:47Break you in real good
00:04:54Get your fucking hands off me!
00:05:03You fat bastard
00:05:06I'll blow you full of holes
00:05:23Fat pig
00:05:27That's our chief!
00:05:28Stop!
00:05:28You're assaulting an officer!
00:05:30Take this slab of loud and get out
00:05:32If you don't disappear from my sight in ten seconds
00:05:35Next time it goes straight through your eye sockets
00:05:37I keep my word
00:05:57Brought down by vermin like that
00:05:59Where's that five heads and five shots wildness cowboy?
00:06:11It's off
00:06:14Don't touch me
00:06:15Pick up the key and undo these cuffs
00:06:26You 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
00:06:37You're so hot
00:06:41Especially here
00:06:43Stop moving anymore
00:06:45And I won't be able to control myself
00:06:47Then don't
00:06:58Looks like I'm not the only one losing control
00:07:02Hey!
00:07:03What's wrong?
00:07:11Don't you dare die on me!
00:07:13I saved your virtue
00:07:14And chased off the men you couldn't
00:07:16This debt
00:07:18How do you plan to repay it?
00:07:23Seventeen stitches
00:07:24Damn, harder than sewing up a horse leg
00:07:27What the hell are you made of?
00:07:29No anesthesia during the whole thing
00:07:30And 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?
00:07:41Assassin?
00:07:41Or something more dangerous?
00:07:48You're awake!
00:07:49Let go!
00:07:50I was wiping the blood off your wound!
00:07:52Wiping blood?
00:07:53Or were you trying to feel me up
00:07:54While I was unconscious?
00:07:56Like that fat pig sheriff this afternoon?
00:07:58Bullshit!
00:07:58I'm not into men!
00:08:05Answer me one question
00:08:08This afternoon
00:08:08When 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!
00:08:22Feed him to the wolves!
00:08:30I believe you!
00:08:34Then what about now?
00:08:39When I touch you
00:08:41Why does your heart
00:08:43Race like it's about to explode?
00:08:46Fuck!
00:08:47Fuck!
00:08:47Fuck!
00:08:48Fuck!
00:08:48What the hell?
00:08:50Why did I react to his touch?
00:08:52It's a stress response
00:08:53Yes!
00:08:54A stress response!
00:08:56What's going on?
00:08:57Is your heart stirring?
00:08:58You touch me one more time
00:09:00And I'm kicking you off this ranch tomorrow
00:09:02A straight man getting groped by you
00:09:04I'm gonna have PTSD
00:09:09Sure
00:09:11But before you throw me out
00:09:13Remember to repay those two life debts
00:09:15You owe me first
00:09:18I have all night
00:09:20I can teach you slowly
00:09:21How to repay
00:09:23Stop talking!
00:09:24Shut up!
00:09:25I can't hear you!
00:09:26I'm sleeping in the stable
00:09:30Ears that red
00:09:31Heart that fast
00:09:33Yet denying everything he's got
00:09:35No rush
00:09:36I have all the patience in the world
00:09:53Fuck!
00:09:55Couldn'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!
00:10:05It was cold!
00:10:07I remember it was ice cold!
00:10:08Not some goddamn sensation!
00:10:10Fuck!
00:10:10Stop thinking!
00:10:25What are you doing?
00:10:27Your pants were too low
00:10:28Helping 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
00:10:49Take your money and your dogs
00:10:51And get off my land
00:10:52I'm not here today to discuss a sale
00:10:53I'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
00:11:12The 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
00:11:38Enjoy 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?
00:11:50Why?
00:11:53Using legal loopholes to corner prey
00:11:56Crude tactics, but effective against a cowboy with no lawyer
00:12:01Find 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
00:12:33Whiskey, double, neat
00:12:41Another
00:12:47Where's Mary?
00:12:49Susan?
00:12:49Linda?
00:12:50Any girl in town?
00:12:51Anyone willing to go to City Hall with me tomorrow and register a marriage?
00:12:53I'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
00:13:00Their families won't let them
00:13:07Too bad all the girls have run off
00:13:09I'm the only one left
00:13:10How about this?
00:13:12Get on your knees and beg me
00:13:13Right here in front of everyone
00:13:15Your ranch?
00:13:16Call it your dowry for my daddy
00:13:17How's that sound?
00:13:19Luke's gonna be a kept man!
00:13:20Five bucks says he actually kneels
00:13:23What?
00:13:24Cat got your tongue?
00:13:26Thinking about
00:13:27Go fuck
00:13:39Enough!
00:13:41Everyone stops!
00:13:42Luke, calm down!
00:14:07Did fighting solve anything?
00:14:17No
00:14:17They bought off everyone
00:14:19Not one left
00:14:21Tomorrow at sunset I lose this place
00:14:23This land isn't just property to you
00:14:25It's memories
00:14:28It's home
00:14:29It's your roots
00:14:31Losing it means being uprooted entirely
00:14:45I read every word of that three times today
00:14:49How?
00:14:51It's not about money
00:14:52Even if you're loaded
00:14:53Can you outspend an energy corporation?
00:14:56There's only one loophole in that deed
00:14:58What loophole?
00:14:59Where?
00:15:00It says enter into a lawful marriage
00:15:03It doesn't decifies
00:15:05That 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?
00:15:46Shh
00:15:48Fourteen hours
00:15:49Not a single woman in town
00:15:50I'm straight
00:15:55Then watch this land become a drilling platform tomorrow
00:15:58I won't touch you
00:16:00No pretending
00:16:01Why would you help me?
00:16:02What's in it for you?
00:16:03You let me recover here
00:16:04Until I can leave
00:16:06Why should I trust you?
00:16:08You don't have a choice
00:16:13Decide before dawn
00:16:15After sunrise the offer expires
00:16:28But I'm a straight man
00:16:29Marry another man
00:16:31If grandpa found out
00:16:33Would he climb out of his grave
00:16:35And slap me?
00:16:36No
00:16:36You wouldn't
00:16:37You'd say
00:16:38Keeping the land matters more than anything
00:16:41Your whole life
00:16:42Revolved around this land
00:16:44Fuck it
00:16:45First thing tomorrow morning
00:16:58I agree
00:16:59Get dressed
00:17:00City hall opens at eight
00:17:01Let me be clear
00:17:03This is a deal
00:17:04Fine
00:17:04Don'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
00:17:38Of course
00:17:39We need to make it look very real
00:17:57You two?
00:18:08You misspelled your name
00:18:24Please stand facing each other
00:18:25Mr. Luke
00:18:26Do you take Mr. Lewis Davalas
00:18:28As your lawful spouse?
00:18:30I do
00:18:31Mr. Lewis
00:18:32Do you take Mr. Luke Anderson
00:18:33As your lawful spouse?
00:18:34I do
00:18:35You may now exchange tokens
00:18:37If 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
00:18:57Printed on the same paper
00:18:59I actually fucking married a man
00:19:17Mr. Anderson
00:19:18The sun's setting
00:19:19Ready to move out?
00:19:22Nice suit today
00:19:24Funeral style
00:19:25The rude
00:19:26Filthy barbarian

00:19:35Certific issued this morning
00:19:36Luke Anderson

00:19:39With his lawful spouse
00:19:40As of today
00:19:42Impossible
00:20:06Your Royal Highness Prince Albert
00:20:07Your nephew got married in Texas
00:20:08To an American cowboy
00:20:10A cattle rancher
00:20:11Interesting
00:20:12Send Grey Wolf to handle it
00:20:14The oil field under that land
00:20:15Is 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
00:20:22It's a fake marriage
00:20:2337 more performances to go
00:20:25Get used to it
00:20:2737 says who?
00:20:2937?
00:20:30Where do you get that number?
00:20:31Wait
00:20:31That's not
00:20:32Not the point
00:20:33The point is
00:20:34He kissed me
00:20:35Corner of my mouth
00:20:36Cold
00:20:37Three seconds
00:20:38Why three seconds
00:20:39And not one
00:20:40Why am I counting?
00:20:42Why are his lips so soft?
00:20:43Wait
00:20:44No
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
00:21:01While 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
00:21:12You take the bed
00:21:13I'll sleep on the floor
00:21:22Good night husband
00:21:23Shut up
00:21:29Can't sleep
00:21:31All I can think about is the feel of his lips on the corner of my mouth
00:21:34Cold
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
00:21:41A cheek kiss would have been enough
00:21:42What does the corner of the mouth mean?
00:21:44Stop
00:21:45Why am I thinking about this?
00:21:47This is a
00:21:47Deal
00:21:59Move his hand away
00:22:00Move it now
00:22:02Fuck
00:22:04I'm done for
00:22:16Good morning
00:22:17Your shrivel is pricky
00:22:20You
00:22:20When did you wake up?
00:22:25A little before you
00:22:26Put 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
00:22:37Every single thing is deliberate
00:22:38He won't look at me
00:22:39But 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
00:22:56The heat's not quite right
00:22:58Can you actually cook or not?
00:23:01No
00:23:01Never been in a kitchen
00:23:04You've lived over 20 years?
00:23:05What do you live on?
00:23:07Photosynthesis?
00:23:08Someone 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!
00:23:15You're in the way!
00:23:16Your ears are red again
00:23:17It's hot!
00:23:18The stove is hot!
00:23:22The stove isn't on yet
00:23:31He looks unexpectedly good when he cooks
00:23:36For me?
00:23:37You lost a lot of blood
00:23:38Don't think so much
00:23:43It's good
00:23:49Leave it
00:23:49You doing dishes is more dangerous than you do
00:23:51And you cooking
00:23:51Alright
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
00:24:09No one's ever cooked for him before
00:24:32Three men
00:24:33150 meters
00:24:35Coming from the east
00:24:45You 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
00:24:48I'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
00:25:23Using 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
00:25:35Not 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?
00:25:47I'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?
00:26:09Most of the time, yes
00:26:11Those old scars on your body
00:26:12Knife 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
00:26:25Were 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
00:26:33You're my people
00:26:33Doesn't matter who comes
00:26:34Okay
00:26:35Wait
00:26:37You have wounds on your back too
00:26:40It's nothing, doesn't
00:26:41When you stitched me up with 17 stitches
00:26:42Did I say no need?
00:26:51Hurt?
00:26:54No
00:26:54How about here?
00:26:57No
00:27:00The neck
00:27:01His weak spot is his neck
00:27:03Noted
00:27:03When he touched my neck
00:27:05I almost
00:27:05No, don't think about it
00:27:07Heart rate
00:27:08120
00:27:08Faster than during the fight just now
00:27:18What's wrong?
00:27:22Luke
00:27:22Come sit down and look at this
00:27:24Lone Star Energy Corporation
00:27:26Registered in the US
00:27:27But peel back the parent company layer by layer
00:27:30Shell companies within shell companies
00:27:31Offshore trust wrapped in funds
00:27:33The ultimate beneficial owner
00:27:34Albert DeVoes
00:27:35My uncle
00:27:36You're telling me the energy corporation
00:27:38Trying to steal my ranch
00:27:39And 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
00:27:46He bankrolled Richard's Energy Company
00:27:48Funneling 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
00:27:56He already knew I might flee
00:27:57Flee to the Texas border
00:27:58This escape route was arranged by my late mother
00:28:00My uncle intercepted the intelligence
00:28:01And pre-positioned the energy company in this area
00:28:03He set a trap here
00:28:04Waiting for me to walk right into it
00:28:06Your ranch is at the center of the web
00:28:08So
00:28:08From the very beginning
00:28:09My ranch wasn't just targeted by some corrupt company?
00:28:12No
00:28:12A fucking European prince used it as an ACM
00:28:14And 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 1
00:28:26Gather evidence of Lone Star's illegal activities in Texas
00:28:29And file in federal court
00:28:31Step 2
00:28:31Pressure through the U.S. government to freeze my uncle's American assets
00:28:34Step 3
00:28:35Go back
00:28:36Reclaim the throne
00:28:37Since my second day on your ranch
00:28:39Alright
00:28:40You be the strategist
00:28:41I'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
00:28:55Would you ever marry a man?
00:28:56No
00:28:56I 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
00:29:13Go sit over there and read
00:29:15He says he wouldn't
00:29:16But 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
00:29:28Okay
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 unseeph blade
00:30:15Clean
00:30:16Precise
00:30:17No mercy
00:30:18Not street fighting
00:30:19Trained since childhood
00:30:20Military-grade combat
00:30:22But his face
00:30:23Why does he look this good?
00:30:25Stop
00:30:25Don'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
00:30:54Is at that angle
00:30:54Good God
00:31:01To bring down Richard and my uncle together
00:31:03We 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?
00:31:34No
00:31:34But you can
00:31:35You open handcuffs with a hairpin
00:31:37Tonight
00:31:39You create the diversion
00:31:41And 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
00:32:23To deal with dissenters
00:32:28Your highness
00:32:29I knew you'd come
00:32:30Richard
00:32:31This gun
00:32:33Under my uncle's orders
00:32:34Kill me
00:32:35His royal highness said
00:32:37Alive is preferred
00:32:39Dead works too
00:32:50Give my uncle a message for me
00:32:53His game ends here
00:33:06Up there just now
00:33:07Were you scared when he pointed the gun at you?
00:33:10Didn't you jump down from the ceiling?
00:33:12I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time
00:33:32Loan stranking
00:33:33Forged wills
00:33:35Bribing law enforcement
00:33:37Systematic plundering of ranchers land
00:33:40Beneficial owner
00:33:42Prince Albert
00:33:44International political conspiracy
00:33:55The forged clauses are void
00:33:58The forged clauses are void
00:33:59Morningstar ranch
00:34:00Belongs to Luke Mcbryan
00:34:04All illegal debts are hereby dismissed
00:34:08Richard
00:34:09Richard Hall is remounted to federal court
00:34:13Document forgery
00:34:15Illegal possession of firearms
00:34:17Prince 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 marriage
00:34:49He's pulling me
00:34:50He pulled me first
00:34:54Luke
00:34:55Don't say it
00:34:59That sound
00:34:59I want to hear it a hundred times
00:35:02A thousand times
00:35:03Are 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
00:35:19There's been no going back
00:35:21Who's the one being a tease now?
00:35:23Cowboy
00:35:24These scars there won't be anymore
00:35:25No one is allowed to hurt you again
00:35:29All the masks
00:35:30Shattered then let it shatter
00:35:32Luis
00:35:47This man is mine
00:35:49Not a chess piece
00:35:50Not a deal
00:35:52Not fake
00:35:53When he sleeps the edge is gone
00:35:55Not a blade
00:35:56Not a chess piece
00:35:58Like a cat
00:35:59Curled up in my arms
00:36:03He'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
00:36:45Cowboy
00:36:46Last night's fierce
00:36:48Domining man
00:36:49Now blushing to his ears
00:36:50Not daring to look at me
00:36:51How lovely
00:37:09Louie
00:37:10My fiancé
00:37:13I finally found you
00:37:15Victoria
00:37:16You shouldn't be here
00:37:20You must be the cowboy
00:37:21I'm Victoria Habsburg
00:37:23Louie's fiancé
00:37:24Fiancé?
00:37:25He has a fiancé?
00:37:26He's already married
00:37:27To me
00:37:39Louis
00:37:39Louis
00:37:40The whole court is talking
00:37:41The crown prince married a cattle rancher
00:37:43All of Europe is laughing
00:37:49My private business
00:37:51Your private business?
00:37:56The engagement was automatically voided during the coup
00:37:58You know that
00:37:59I'm not here to argue
00:38:07Parliament needs you
00:38:08The country needs you
00:38:13Don't touch me
00:38:16Mr. Luke
00:38:18A personal question
00:38:22Do you really think what you and Louis have is real?
00:38:28This is his world
00:38:29Power
00:38:30Politics
00:38:31Marriage as a chess game
00:38:32He was trained to be the perfect strategic machine
00:38:35Getting close to you
00:38:36Saving you
00:38:37Marrying you
00:38:37You think that wasn't strategy?
00:38:40I'm not leaving
00:38:41I booked a hotel in town
00:38:45Was what she said true?
00:38:48Which part?
00:38:51The 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
00:39:01Who uses everyone
00:39:02What 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
00:39:15A quiver from deep in his throat
00:39:17With a catch like he was about to cry
00:39:32Your Highnessness
00:39:33Are you really going to take the crown prince back?
00:39:35Albert has already been arrested
00:39:37Albert is Albert
00:39:40I am me
00:39:46I'm not here doing his bidding
00:39:54From that day I spent nine years making myself the woman most worthy of you
00:39:58Studied the international law you loved
00:40:01Memorized six case books
00:40:02Read the Vaud Lospie you adored
00:40:04Until I could recite Les Fleurs de Maude by heart
00:40:07Practiced the fencing you favored
00:40:09Until my wrist was injured and bandaged for three months
00:40:11You still didn't see me
00:40:13Nine years
00:40:14The number of times you looked at me I can count on one hand
00:40:17Every time
00:40:17Polite
00:40:18Distant
00:40:19Treating me like a guest
00:40:20But you saw a cowboy
00:40:21A cowboy who smells of horse masher
00:40:24You gave up the throne for him
00:40:25You wore dirty boots for him
00:40:27You
00:40:28Smile at him
00:40:29A smile I've never seen you wear
00:40:31One 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
00:40:56Before yesterday he never avoided my touch
00:41:02Your 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
00:41:14Well matched
00:41:15Perfect couple
00:41:17What am I?
00:41:19A 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
00:41:28Not 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
00:42:01One 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
00:42:13And he hasn't removed a single one
00:42:15The country is sliding towards civil unrest
00:42:22I abacated
00:42:27For 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
00:42:37For 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
00:42:57The contact lines are in my hands
00:43:00I 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
00:43:14Ranching 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
00:43:24You weren't this kind of person
00:43:26You 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
00:43:41I 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
00:44:03Every time you say nothing
00:44:05You'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
00:44:15He never shook me off
00:44:16He'd only grab my hand
00:44:18And press it to his face
00:44:23I may need to leave for a while
00:44:24Where?
00:44:26Back to Europe
00:44:27Handle some things
00:44:29With that woman
00:44:36Say it to my face
00:44:39If I don't go handle certain things
00:44:42You'll never be safe
00:44:43What things?
00:44:44Tell me
00:44:44We'll handle it together
00:44:45I 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
00:44:54They can always use you to threaten me
00:44:56I have to go alone
00:44:58After Handled
00:44:59If you still want me to
00:45:00I'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 fucking can't go
00:45:17He said if I'm still alive
00:45:19He spent his whole life calculating everyone
00:45:21His 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
00:45:38One last look
00:45:39Remember this
00:45:40It's right that he didn't come out
00:45:42If he had I couldn't leave
00:45:43You made the right choice
00:45:47Shut 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
00:46:24Flirted with me
00:46:25Tested me
00:46:26Pretended to fall drunk into my arms
00:46:28And wouldn't get up
00:46:29Scared me with a snake
00:46:30Then pretended to be afraid
00:46:31And hugged me
00:46:34Every time was calculated
00:46:36I knew it
00:46:38But when he said if I'm still alive
00:46:40He wasn't smiling
00:46:41That was the first time
00:46:42I'd ever seen him speak
00:46:43Without smiling
00:46:44Not 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
00:47:08I'll go to fucking Europe
00:47:09And drag you back
00:47:22Your eyelashes tremble
00:47:28You're thinking about him
00:47:30None of your business
00:47:32Lewis
00:47:35You never used to show your weakness to anyone
00:47:37Your eyelashes tremble
00:47:38But now whenever I mention him
00:47:41Your breathing changes
00:47:44Your fingers clench
00:47:47Your eyelashes tremble
00:47:49You really fell in love with him
00:47:52I waited for you for nine years
00:47:54Since I was 14
00:47:56Studied the law you love
00:47:57Got a double degree at Cambridge
00:47:59Practiced 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
00:48:29Then 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 number
00:48:49Your eyelashes tremble
00:48:49One last time
00:48:51One last time standing by your side
00:48:52One last time pretending we still had a chance
00:48:55After that I let go
00:48:57Nine years
00:48:59Enough
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
00:49:33Wait
00:49:33Wait
00:49:33I'll wait
00:49:34But you'd better come back alive
00:49:37If you dare die out there
00:49:39I'll go to hell and drag you back
00:49:56His 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
00:50:23That smile
00:50:25He never had it in the palace
00:50:26Never in front of me
00:50:27From fourteen to twenty-three
00:50:29Nine years
00:50:30I've seen every expression of his
00:50:32Cold
00:50:32Tired
00:50:33Polite
00:50:33Guarded
00:50:34Never this one
00:50:34The cowboy gave it to him
00:50:36A rugged
00:50:36Calloused cowboy
00:50:37Gave him something I could never give
00:50:39No 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
00:50:48I'll hate you
00:50:53I'm sorry
00:51:08I'm sorry
00:51:09Like a creep
00:51:10Whatever
00:51:16Call or not
00:51:17He said only for emergencies
00:51:19Does missing him count as an emergency?
00:51:24No
00:51:24Fuck
00:51:26Where the hell are you?
00:51:27You said wait
00:51:28I'm waiting
00:51:30But if you don't come back
00:51:32I'll go to fucking Europe and take you back
00:51:34Even if I have to tear that shitty palace apart
00:51:37Believe it
00:51:42Your Highness
00:51:43Albert's last stronghold in Texas has been cleared by the FBI
00:51:47On the European side, all family assets have been frozen
00:51:50Swiss accounts, Levenstan trusts, Maltese shell companies
00:51:54All 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
00:52:07Thank you
00:52:08Don't thank me
00:52:11Louis de Valois
00:52:13The thing I hate most in this life
00:52:15Is not meeting you before he did
00:52:19Be good to your cowboy
00:52:22He deserves you
00:52:23Victoria
00:52:24You deserve someone better too
00:52:26Your Highness
00:52:28The flight
00:52:30We leave now
00:52:38What's wrong?
00:52:43What's wrong?
00:52:50I'm back
00:52:57Bastard
00:53:02You were gone 12 days
00:53:05Eleven days
00:53:06Twelve 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
00:53:21Remember
00:53:28Remember
00:53:29Time
00:53:30Remember
00:53:33So
00:53:34You're in a
00:53:35You're watching
00:53:35An
00:53:36You're watching
00:53:44So
00:53:56You've lost weight, miss me.
00:54:20Twelve days. He's lost so much weight.
00:54:25Collarbone's more prominent. I can feel his ribs.
00:54:29But he's back. He's on my bed. He's mine.
00:54:36Twelve 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. Tie 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. A creaky iron bed. A dusty ranch.
00:55:07A rough, burning hot cowboy.
00:55:10This is the life I chose. The end of all my exile.
00:55:27This is what he means by my people. Not a chess piece on a board.
00:55:31Not a bargaining chip for political marriage. Not an appendage of the crown prince.
00:55:35Not anyone's tool. His. Just his.
00:55:39Boik.
00:55:47Don't move. My hair a bit longer.
00:55:50I'm not moving.
00:55:52Your hair is tickling my neck. Itchy.
00:55:55You're the one who put your chin on my head.
00:55:57The scent of his hair. Not shampoo.
00:56:01It's Luis's own scent.
00:56:03Same as the first day. Faint. Clean.
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.
00:56:44People change.
00:56:45Do they?
00:56:45Okay.
00:56:51He smiled. He thinks I didn't see.
00:56:54But 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.
00:57:19All Texas-affiliated enterprises have been seized.
00:57:22And Lone Star?
00:57:23Fully dissolved.
00:57:25Richard and the core 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.
00:57:35Including 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?
00:58:04Also, Parliament has once again requested your return to take the throne.
00:58:08This is the fourth formal request.
00:58:10Jean.
00:58:12I'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, 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.
00:58:34A friend.
00:58:37Thank you, Jean.
00:58:44That ring.
00:58:46He still hasn't returned it.
00:58:48Hasn't mentioned it either.
00:58:49Did he forget?
00:58:51No.
00:58:51Luke isn't the forgetful kind.
00:58:53What's he waiting for?
00:58:55Or, does he have no intention of returning it at all?
00:58:58No rush.
00:58:59He'll return it.
00:59:00In his own way.
00:59:00Luke does everything at his own pace.
00:59:03Like 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.
00:59:26Go back inside.
00:59:27Too much sun.
00:59:31No.
00:59:43Have you ever regretted it?
00:59:45Hmm.
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.
00:59:55All 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.
01:00:22And 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.
01:01:13Not with me.
01:01:28Mr. Lewis.
01:01:29This is my last official visit.
01:01:32Gene.
01:01:33Thank you for the long journey.
01:01:35Not at all.
01:01:37The abducation 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.
01:01:54Jewelry, letters, and personal effects.
01:01:57Not 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.
01:02:13Mr. Anderson asked me to tell you.
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.
01:03:05Yours 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.
01:03:23No need.
01:03:24It'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.
01:03:49The 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.
01:04:00You'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.
01:04:14Don't tell me.
01:04:20What are you laughing at?
01:04:24Remembering the first time you kissed me.
01:04:27What about it?
01:04:29You 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?
01:04:38What do you think?
01:04:38Of course I tamed you.
01:04:40You 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?
01:05:03Come inside for dinner.
01:05:13Don't touch the pot!
01:05:14Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
