00:35:02A thousand times

00:35:23Cowboy

00:35:29All the masks
00:35:47All the masks
00:35:57Shattered then let it shatter
00:35:57He's not a chest piece
00:35:58Like a cat
00:36:00Curled up in my arms
00:36:03He's mine
00:36:11He bit me
00:36:12Last night he
00:36:14Last night he
00:36:47Fierce
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 fiance
00:37:13I finally found you
00:37:15Victoria
00:37:16You shouldn't be here
00:37:20You must be the cowboy
00:37:21You must be the cowboy
00:37:22I'm Victoria Habsburg
00:37:23Louie's fiance
00:37:24Fiance?
00:37:25He has a fiance?
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
00:37:49My 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 Louie 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?
00:38:48Was 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 who 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?
00:39:36Albert 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
00:39:59Studied the international law you loved
00:40:01Memorized six case books
00:40:02Read the vowed lawsuit 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
00:40:39You belong with me
00:40:55He's avoiding me
00:40:57Before 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
00:41:24He's pulling away
00:41:26I can feel him pulling away
00:41:28He's pulling away
00:41:28Not anger
00:41:29Not jealousy
00:41:30Not anger
00:41:33Not jealousy
00:41:41What exactly do you want?
00:41:42To lay my cards on the table
00:41:45To 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
00:42:16The 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
00:42:35You 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
00:42:48I'll destroy him
00:42:50Him?
00:42:52Your 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
00:43:00I 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
00:43:13Your 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
00:43:25You 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
00:44:04Every 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
00:44:25Where?
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
00:44:42You'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
00:44:50Why?!
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!
00:45:15Fucking!
00:45:16Can't!
00:45:17Go!
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
00:45:38One last look
00:45:39One 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 and 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 I'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 and drag you back
00:47:22Your 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 anyone
00:47:37Your eyelashes tremble
00:47:39But 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 fourteen
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
00:48:05Your eyelashes tremble
00:48:06Every 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
00:48:34Your eyelashes tremble
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
00:48:47Your eyelashes 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
00:48:56After that I let go
00:48:57Nine years
00:48:59Enough
00:49:02Whiskey?
00:49:05Just water
00:49:10The blonde's gone?
00:49:13Yeah
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
00:49:33I'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, his 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, he 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
00:50:39No matter how hard I tried
00:50:40First thing tomorrow morning
00:50:42My lawyer will send over the dissolution 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
00:51:08Like a creep
00:51:11Whatever
00:51:16Call or not
00:51:18He 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, all sealed
00:51:55His forces have been completely destroyed
00:51:59Book the next flight back to Texas
00:52:04Starting today
00:52:05We 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
00:52:21He 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?
00:52:51I'm back
00:52:57I'm back
00:52:58Bastard
00:53:02You were gone twelve days
00:53:04Eleven days
00:53:06Twelve days
00:53:08I counted every single day
00:53:10Every single hour
00:53:13Don't leave again
00:53:15I'm not leaving
00:53:39Thousand
00:53:40D cuatro times
00:53:48Definitely
00:53:55Waiting
00:53:58Tools
00:53:59I've been discontinued
00:54:00Truth
00:54:01Truth

00:54:01Truth
00:54:01того

00:54:03Truth
00:54:03Truth
00:54:04Truth
00:54:04Truth
00:54:2012 days, he's lost so much weight
00:54:25Collarbone's more prominent
00:54:26I can feel his ribs
00:54:29But he's back
00:54:30He's on my bed
00:54:32He's mine
00:54:3612 days, how do you plan to make it up?
00:54:47I'm not leaving, never again
00:54:50If you leave again, I'll tie you to this bed
00:54:53Tie me with what?
00:54:55Rawhide rope
00:54:59Last time I cut through a rawhide rope in 3 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
00:55:09This is the life I chose
00:55:12The end of all my exile
00:55:26This is what he means by my people
00:55:29Not a chess piece on a board
00:55:31Not a bargaining chip for political marriage
00:55:33Not an appendage of the crown prince
00:55:35Not anyone's tool
00:55:37His
00:55:38Just his
00:55:39Wake
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, itchy
00:55:55You're the one who put your chin on my head
00:55:57The scent of his hair
00:55:59Not shampoo
00:56:00It's Luis's own scent
00:56:02Same as the first day
00:56:04Faint
00:56:05Clean
00:56:06No matter how many times I breathe it in
00:56:30You've improved
00:56:34Improved at what?
00:56:35Used to blush to the tips of your ears when you touch me
00:56:44People 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
00:57:08A few matters to report
00:57:10Go ahead
00:57:11Albert 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
00:57:21And Lone Star?
00:57:23Fully dissolved
00:57:25Richard and the core management have been sentenced
00:57:27Federal court handed down heavy sentences
00:57:29They deserved it
00:57:31Your family assets in Europe have been fully restored to your name
00:57:34Including Swiss bank accounts, London properties, and Paris gallery shares
00:57:39Transfer all assets into a trust fund
00:57:42Allocate 30% of the returns to the Morningstar Ranch Livestock Development Fund
00:57:4630%?
00:57:48Did 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
00:58:04Parliament has once again requested your return to take the throne
00:58:08This is the fourth formal request
00:58:11Jean
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
00:58:20If 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
00:58:35Thank you
00:58:36Thank you, Jean
00:58:44That ring
00:58:45He still hasn't returned it
00:58:47Hasn't mentioned it either
00:58:49Did he forget?
00:58:51No
00:58:51Luke isn't the forgetful kind
00:58:53What's he waiting for?
00:58:55Or
00:58:55Does 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
00:59:00Luke does everything at his own pace
00:59:02This land
00:59:04Unharried
00:59:05But when the time comes
00:59:06It comes
00:59:10Drink water
00:59:20He deliberately drank from the same spot I drank from
00:59:24It's dirty
00:59:25Go back inside
00:59:26Too much sun
00:59:43Have you ever regretted it?
00:59:45Hmm
00:59:45Regret what?
00:59:47Everything
00:59:47From the night
00:59:48You found me outside your barbed wire
00:59:50To taking a bullet for me
00:59:52To going back to Europe with me
00:59:53To 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
01:00:37The 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 finally found a place that won't collapse
01:00:53Not a castle
01:00:54Not a country
01:00:55A man's shoulders
01:00:56When he buries his face in my shoulder
01:00:59His breath is warm
01:01:01He never used to hide his face
01:01:02He 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
01:01:18Mr. Lewis
01:01:29This is my last official visit
01:01:31Gene
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
01:01:44You 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
01:01:58Per her will
01:01:59They belong to you personally
01:02:01Forever
01:02:03Thank you, Gene
01:02:0423 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
01:02:14He'll
01:02:20You know something
01:02:21I 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
01:03:11This 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
01:03:48The lines of your back muscles look great
01:03:51When you chop wood
01:03:53Can you talk like a normal person?
01:03:55No, keep 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
01:04:14I 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?
01:04:29You 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
01:04:39You thought you saved me
01:04:41But I chose you
01:04:42Out of everyone
01:04:43Out of the entire world
01:04:45I 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
01:05:14Cut!
01:05:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
