I love you,

but we can't be together.

But we're soul mates.

The president of IdentitySeal
liked your idea?

- My soul mate app.
- You really think an app

- is gonna help you win Jaya back?
- Yeah.

If the God Account can save Ali,

I'll agree to become its prophet,

even if that means giving up love.

Then that's what you need to do.

You have a ductal carcinoma

Yeah, kinda.

Am I just kidding myself?

Yeah. Just gonna take some time.

Hey, look.

Not to completely change the subject,

- Yeah.

Dad and Trish are back

I'm going to tell them about

Would you mind going with me?

Of course I'll come with you.

Thank you.

Oh, good. Okay. Everyone got my message.

What is this about, Rakesh?

He wouldn't even give me a
hint as we were walking in.

Well, I wanted us all to be together.

I have incredible news.

I finished my soul mate app.

It's up and running and
ready to be unveiled.

That's great, Rakesh.

It sounds like you just secured
your job at IdentitySeal.

And more importantly,
once I put my name in the app

and Jaya's name appears
as my perfect match,

I can finally prove to her
that we belong together.

I just wanted to share this
moment with my best friends.

Whoo! Okay.

Here we go.

So, right now,

the app is scanning the internet

for compatible data points
to find the person

whose unique online
footprint most complements

my unique footprint,

[ELECTRONIC BUZZING]

"Lulu Achebe."

Um, your soul mate is
my Friend Suggestion.

Okay, Rakesh, I'm confused.

- Didn't you test your app?
- I did.

Yeah, with famous couples,

you know, to see if the code was right.

Like Kim and Kanye?

No surprise. Soul mates.

And I was sure Jaya would come up.

Otherwise I would not have
made such a production.

Well, I'm sorry, bro.

I know you wanted to prove to Jaya

We do belong together, okay?

I'm having my staff run a system check.

It's just a glitch.

Okay.

Or maybe it isn't.

Look, I'm just saying it's

the timing of the Friend Suggestion.

Maybe the God Account

Maybe Lulu is your soul mate.

And your soul mate needs

Can you stop calling her my soul mate?

Can you please just look into her?

Okay, fine.

Let's see what we've got.

Okay, that's weird.

I can't find anything online

outside of her Facebook page.

What, she doesn't have an Instagram?

No, she has one social media account.

Clearly, this would never work.

Okay, well, according
to her Facebook page,

she's a grad student at
Columbia University.

- Could you pull up her schedule?
- Yeah, on it.

Looks like her next class is...

tomorrow afternoon.

Okay, I'll see what I can find on Lulu.

Who, for the record,

definitely not my soul mate.

You should have heard him

Oh, please. There had to
have been a better way

- to get up there.
- It looks amazing, Dad.

Well, as amazing as it was, and it was,

we're glad to be back home.

So what's been going on with you guys?

Actually there is something
I wanna talk to you guys about.

Three weeks ago, I found a lump

in my left breast.

It's cancer.

Oh, Ali.

I didn't want to tell you
guys before the wedding

because I knew you'd
put the honeymoon off.

So what did your doctor say?

That it's invasive ductal carcinoma.

But I'm gonna meet with
my doctor tomorrow.

We are going to go over the
results of my genetics test

and talk about treatment options.

Miles is gonna come with me.

Sweetheart, I am so sorry
I wasn't here for you.

- You are now.
- Every step of the way,

I'll go with you on
your next appointment,

- we'll alternate, or...
- We'll do whatever you need.

Thank you.

And the good news is is
that they found it early.

And the doctor's extremely optimistic.

We caught your mother's early as well.

Starting treatment quickly

makes all the difference.

This is a battle.

A battle we have fought

and we have won before.

And we will again.

- And you're worried that

if your father learns

Dr. Chang, it's nice to see you again.

Nice to see you too.

So, I have your results.

Based on the genetic testing,
we were able to identify

specific markers that indicate
your type of cancer

should respond well to chemo.

Okay.

Uh, when would I start?

Well, immediately.

Actually, I've been thinking about

holding off for a bit before starting.

Al... Ali, holding off?
What are you talking about?

I've been doing some research.

I know that chemo can deplete
a woman's egg reserves

- and affect fertility.
- It can.

And I've always assumed
I'd be a mother one day.

So I was considering freezing my eggs

before treatment, just in case.

Yes, chemo carries a risk of damage
to your reproductive health,

but the egg freezing process

means you'll delay treatment.

I know, but we caught it early

and we're only talking about a few weeks

Ali, there are so many variables

and complications that could come up.

And knowing how aggressive
your cancer is,

a few weeks could mean a great deal.

It is something you should
seriously consider.

Thank you guys so much
for putting this together.

Of course, sweetheart.

appointment, good or bad,

we would do something
together as a family.

again. I mean, if you like.

Oh, good.

So what did the doctor say

and when do you start treatment?

Uh, well, she'd like
to start right away,

but I might postpone it.

Ali, what... what are you talking about?

Dad, I need you to hear me out on this.

I have done a ton of research.

Going through chemo carries a
high risk of infertility, so...

I was considering freezing my eggs.

Well, how long does that process take?

Three to four weeks.

A month? Ali, this is no
time to be taking risks.

Well, Dad, it's like Ali says.

She's just considering it.

She hasn't decided or anything just yet.

The decision couldn't be clearer.

Your doctor said she wants to
begin treatment immediately.

Time is a luxury we don't have.

"We"? Don't you mean me?

I am the one going
through this, remember?

Ali, that's not what I
meant, and you know it.

All I'm asking you is to

If starting now gives you even

We happened to come across this.

♪ ♪

I was young,

unburdened by the
politics and pragmatism

that being a king would one day demand.

But that's why you should've chosen me.

I can carry on what you and
Mom set out to accomplish.

What your mother wanted,
our country wasn't ready for.

It's ready now.

But what if it isn't?

I can't take that risk.

I'm sorry, but what risk?

Lulu said that your wife

stopped speaking up
after they were born.

But that wasn't the only reason, was it?

No.

She only stopped when I finally
told her about the threats.

You mean death threats?

I begged her to stay silent

about the issues she believed in.

But not as a king.

As a terrified husband.

It was the only way
to ensure her safety.

Which is the same thing you're doing.

The decision to pass over
Lulu was not made by a king.

It was made by a father.

Papa, I know you're scared.

But your fear as a father
can't be what this is about.

You have to trust me,

trust our country, and trust our people

that they are ready for this.

Ready for a queen to rule.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

♪ ♪

- Thank you for coming with me.
- Are you kidding?

This is a once in a
lifetime opportunity.

And you deserve to give this
speech, Lulu, not your brother.

You never know.

Maybe we were able to get
through to your father.

He's pretty headstrong.

He told me he would need
time to think about it.

Father.

I know you think that my
views are too aggressive,

but I won't be silenced
by anyone, even you,

which is why I'm going to come home

and continue to speak my mind;

continue to push for change,

regardless of your decision.

And as a father,

that terrifies me more than you know.

But as a king, it makes me proud.

Which is why I've decided you
will be giving the speech.

And why I will announce
you as my successor.

You say our country is ready.

I hope you are right.

I am.

Father told me.

That does not mean I agree with him.

Nor do I agree with
your reckless decision

to expose your sister to a journalist.

Your actions could've
endangered her life.

Our country is not ready
for the direction

- she wants to take them in.
- I disagree.

And I'm going to prove
to you that they are.

King Omari, they're ready for you.

Shall we?

Hey, Ali, what's going on?

We got your message.

I have decided to meet
with a fertility specialist.

You're going to delay the treatment?

Yes.

Did you know about this?

We spoke earlier,

and I support her in this, Arthur.

- You do?
- Yes, I do.

You said the process
of freezing your eggs

could take a month.
What if it takes longer?

I'm hoping it won't.

You're hoping.

You're putting your life on
the line, based on hope.

Yeah.

Because right now, hope is all I have.

Hope is how Mom got through it.

I remember once when she was
having a bad day after chemo,

I asked her if she was going to be okay.

And she told me she was gonna be fine.

And I said, "How do you know for sure?"

And she told me,

because she would never
leave me or my sister.

Dad, we gave her hope.

I need to do this.

And I need you to understand why.

I do.

Miles is right.

I saw it firsthand with your mother.

I just needed to be reminded.

when a man brings a woman

it's tantamount to an engagement.

Hey, Prince Rakesh,

Yeah, I did.

Okay, and for some reason

Look, I know I've only known
her for a couple of days,

but for the first time,

I could at least picture
a future without Jaya.

And I know, a part of me
will always love her,

but Lulu told me that in Longo folklore,

the word "soul mate"
translates closer to

someone who comes into your
life when you need them

and is always there for you,

which means we can all have
more than one soul mate,

depending on where
we are in our journey.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES, BUZZES]

Hey, speaking of soul mates,
the president of IdentitySeal

it served its purpose.

Cheers.

Okay.

Well, I gotta go check in with my team.

I'll let you know when
the app goes live.

Yeah, we have no doubt.

I'm gonna get back to work, guys.

Oh, what are we toasting to now?

Uh, how about the Longo
definition of soul mate?

Being just friends

is going to take some
time to get used to.

But there is an upside to all of this.

Hmm.

Okay, please share.

Couples can always break up.

But true soul mates,

friends...

They stay together forever.

To forever.
