Original subtitles

No!

Please!

I just want to go home.

No!

Please!

I won't tell anyone.

Please.

You got to be kidding me.

Good morning.

- Hey. - Oh.

You okay?

Yes. I'm fine.

I'm just a little over-caffeinated.

I saw you were answering work e-mails

at 3:00 in the morning last night.

Again.

I thought I was dreaming.

Alyssa, you've been serving yourself up

some awfully vanilla dreams.

You deserve cookies and cream.

I'm fine. I'm just a little off-schedule.

Maybe try to grab a power nap after work.

We've got that launch party tonight.

We're going to need your charm meter set to a solid 9.8.

Hmm. That's tonight?

I was hoping that I could conk out on the couch

with a bowl of cornflakes.

What? You're not still moping about what's-his-name, are you?

It's been weeks.

We need to get you back out there.

Please don't make me beg.

Fine. You win. You always do.

Who knows? You might even meet a celebrity.

Isn't that our job?

If I'm tired, I am going home early.

Just be ready by 8:00.

You're always late.

Okay. All right.

- Jack? - Okay. Stand back. Over here.

Jack?

Will you get back, please?

Jack, do you have any comment about your brother?

- What has he said to you? - Jack, could you just turn...

Any plans on settling down soon?

Is there someone special in your life?

It's nice to see you all, but I can't talk.

- Duty calls. - What's going on?

I did say we should have taken the service entrance.

And miss the photo-op? No.

We mustn't disappoint the public, Taffer.

Rule number one when visiting abroad.

Every move must be chronicled and whispered of.

This is a treasure hunt, and we are the treasure.

They're like a pack of bloody hyenas, clamoring for the kill.

Good. The louder they bark, the more positive my press.

What's next on the gauntlet?

Lunch with the vice-mayor and city dignitaries.

- The vice-mayor? - Mm-hmm.

You have a phone interview with Radio France at 4:00.

We can do that from the room if you like.

Then a gala event this evening at the Vanguard Hotel.

Keep the interview and skip the gala.

I'm feeling a touch of jetlag.

It's a launch event for a brand you've endorsed, sir.

You're the face, if you will.

And?

They're partnering with one of your top charities

and making a hefty public donation.

Well, please ensure that my tux is pressed.

Already taken care of.

Who knows, Taffer?

Might not be a complete waste of time.

I might just meet someone new.

Ah.

I'm late, I know. I apologize.

Let's just move past it.

Rachel, I've been waiting here for 20 minutes.

What did I just say?

- Don't you look nice? - Oh, you look nice, too.

Tell me it wasn't us who came up with that slogan.

I heard it was that guy from GRE.

Tonight we're strictly public relations.

Someone needs to get that guy a thesaurus.

I know.

Oh, hey. The slogan looks fabulous.

Uh, brown-noser.

Part of the job is...

knowing when to fib.

- I know. - You're getting it.

Especially when you're hunting for a promotion.

Look who just walked in.

Wait. Isn't that...

Prince Jack, Earl of Northshire, sixth in line to the throne.

But first in line to my royal-watching heart.

He is even glossier than his magazine covers.

Forget touch-ups. They've been toning him down.

Didn't think he'd show tonight.

He never shows up to these things.

Wish me luck. I'm going in.

Rachel, you're married.

This one's not for me.

Oh, my God.

Jack, this is the alluring young lady

I was telling you about.

Alyssa Banks, Prince Jack.

Prince Jack, the exquisite Alyssa.

Charmed.

Hi.

Oops. I just remembered I left my phone at the coat check.

I'll be right back.

I'm so sorry about that.

I don't know if she thought she was doing me a favor

or playing a prank on me.

No, please. No apology necessary.

I wish I had a friend around who would speak so highly of me.

Your reputation precedes you.

What did she say?

Only the right things, I assure you.

Now, Alyssa.

I believe that's of Celtic origin?

Really? I thought it's from Who's the Boss.

No. Actually,

if my fading memories of Oxford don't deceive me,

"Alyssa" means "noble woman" in the Gaelic tongue.

Wow. And what does "Jack" mean in the Gaelic tongue?

Now, that's a very good question

that deserves a fascinating answer.

But first, can I get you a drink?

Yes. I'd love a drink.

Now unfortunately, all they have is this designer vodka.

I'd complain,

but apparently they're making a hefty donation

to one of my charities, so...

Personally, I thought it was a tad inappropriate

to send alcohol to a school

filled with underprivileged children,

but no one really listens to me.

I'm just the figurehead.

My brother Timothy, he's the business one.

I guess that makes me the rapscallion.

- Vodka is fine. - Perfect.

We'll take another martini, my friend. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- So, Alyssa... - Mm-hmm?

what brings you here tonight?

Well, Jack,

my very annoying, pushy but well-meaning friend Rachel,

who you just met before abandoning me.

She forced me to come.

But I'm also a publicist, here to represent my firm.

Hijacked by high society.

I see we have that in common.

I suppose we do, yes.

I'll tell you what.

Want to vent a little about it away from all of this hoopla?

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'd like that.

Then follow me.

Alyssa?

You two, together? Hot babies.

So, Alyssa,

tell me more about yourself.

Well, like I mentioned before, I'm a publicist by trade,

working my way to a corner office,

and I've spent most of my life in the city.

Yes. Miraculously unattached, somehow.

Yeah. I just got out of a serious long relationship.

My sympathies. What went wrong,

if you don't mind my asking?

We just started drifting apart.

And if I'm being honest, one day I came home

and he was in bed with one of my clients,

and that kind of put the nail in the coffin.

Cheeky bastard.

I'm not sure "cheeky" is the word I would use exactly.

No, but how short-sighted of him

to risk losing someone like you.

Well, I seem to have a habit

of attracting risk-takers.

True love is precious, and it should never be gambled with.

Sadly, it often takes a broken heart or two

to learn that lesson.

Sounds like you've had a few bad bets of your own.

Yet here we both are,

back at the table, willing to try our luck once again.

Right over there is my favorite place to eat.

I'll have to check it out.

Your Highness?

Time to go.

Yes. I'm so sorry,

but I have a prior engagement that simply cannot be avoided.

Can I see you again?

Some place quieter,

away from all the paparazzi and people.

Yeah. I would like that.

Splendid.

What's the best way to reach you?

My number.

Nice to meet you, Alyssa.

Nice to meet you, too, Jack.

See you soon.

I thought that night would never end.

I can't stand those galas.

I'd rather spend a night in the stocks.

You seemed to be enjoying yourself well enough, sir.

She was an enchanting little thing, wasn't she?

I'll send you her info.

Find out what you can.

Yes, Your Highness.

Ah.

There you are.

I am going to go wash the taste of that cheap stuff

that they were serving out of my mouth.

I'll see you in the morning.

Ah.

What?

I'm calling with your weekly reminder, dear brother.

Are you my nursemaid now, Timothy?

Will you sing me softly to bed?

Have you taken them?

Taking what? You'll have to be more precise.

Taking my time? Taking care?

Taking a hard right turn?

Your pills, Jack.

Are you taking your pills?

Of course I am.

Promise me.

There you are. In like Flynn. Consider me anesthetized.

Thank you, Jack.

You know I love you.

Susan loves you. Mother loves you.

We all miss you.

The feeling is mutual.

Of course I'm taking my pills!

Bottoms up, beautiful.

See you soon.

So, what are you planning on wearing on your big date?

I'm thinking saucy serving wench meets posh princess.

I doubt he's even going to call.

But I was thinking lady-in-waiting.

At best, a baroness.

Mmm. Leaving room for social climbing. I like it.

Just remember, you might hail from Connecticut,

but you're still royalty to me.

Oh.

By the way, obviously I'm rooting for you

and want you to get married

and have many blue-blooded babies,

but if the moment presents itself

and it doesn't feel weird,

maybe you could talk up KLC a bit.

Imagine if we got him to switch reps.

The two of us would be running this place.

Nothing obvious. Nothing obvious.

Just, you know, something to keep on the back burner.

- Is that him? - I don't know.

Hello?

Hey there.

Um, hi.

Is it him?

Uh, how nice to hear from you.

Am I calling at a bad time?

No. Not at all.

We just seem to have a bad connection.

My bars are dropping like flies over here.

- Flies? - I don't know.

I was just calling because I've been thinking of you.

Oh.

This might seem rather bold of me,

but I'm only in town for a short while

and I'd quite like to make the most of it.

Are you asking me out?

I suppose I am.

Okay. Uh, yeah.

Let me just check my schedule.

Ooh. You are in luck.

I have a last-minute cancelation.

Splendid. How does brunch sound?

It sounds like the meal between breakfast and lunch.

What are you doing?

So, um, when were you thinking?

I was thinking how about now?

Excuse me?

Look out the front window.

Oh! Hi.

Um, yeah. That sounds great.

I will be down in one second.

I'll see you soon.

Rachel, how does he know where our office is?

I'm sure he knows how to use the internet,

or how to order someone else to.

I'll bet he knows how to give

all sorts of interesting commands.

- Rachel... - Go.

You've got six more seconds or I'm getting a divorce,

learning to slouch and going down there myself.

Do I slouch?

Go.

Uh, okay.

What?

I like your glasses.

They help me hide while out in the open,

rendering me completely unrecognizable.

You disagree?

No. Not at all.

You're like Superman and Clark Kent.

I'll take that as a compliment.

- Next time I'll wear my cape. - Mmm.

That will really complete the look.

Enjoying the view?

It's just feels so strange being driven around by a prince.

Well, just pretend I'm

a slightly overpriced chauffeur.

I'll try.

We're almost there.

- Jack, over here. - Jack?

Is this all for you?

Possibly.

There might also be a few pop stars

laying low by the pool, though.

Ah, our third wheel.

You shouldn't be traveling in the city without a guard, sir.

Your brother would not approve.

Well, you should do a better job keeping tabs on me then.

Right here!

Thank you. Thank you.

- Get back. - Jack! Jack!

Who's the new mystery girl?

Jack, please! Any comment on the girl?

Where is everyone? The place looks deserted.

Well, I called in a favor to ensure our privacy.

- This is all for us? - No more distractions.

Just us.

Please.

Thank you.

All right.

What about your personal life?

It must be hard to find balance.

Well, I don't know that I've ever had a personal life.

From the moment I was born, I've been under scrutiny.

And to the public, I'm duty-bound

to present a picture of nobility, stiff upper lip.

The truth is... all families have their problems.

It's just that ours they refer to as scandals.

I think I read somewhere in a tabloid

about a feud with your brother.

Don't believe everything you read.

No, we have our disagreements, but it's no Game of Thrones.

It's mostly just petty arguments.

You know, who gets to sit in front for group portraits,

who uses which vacation house,

stupid gossip, things like that.

Hmm. So, means you don't have a dragon.

Only on our coat of arms.

It must be so fascinating to be a part of such history.

I can barely trace my family past my great-grandmother.

Sometimes tradition is a trap.

At the moment, I'm much more focused

on what lies ahead of me.

Can I tell you a secret?

Yes. I am PR - gossip is my trade.

Well...

What do you think?

I think your secret is safe with me.

Can I share another?

I'm all ears.

More champagne?

Oh, no. I shouldn't.

I'm starting to feel a little, uh...

bubbly.

This is a bad thing?

That depends.

- On? - If you like bubbles.

Um, where is the bathroom?

It's just down the hall.

Taffer will show you.

Thank you.

End of the hall on your left.

Thanks.

Can I help you?

Just checking in.

Uh-huh.

Spit it out, Taffer.

She seems like a very a nice girl, sir.

Don't they all.

Ah...

Well, this has been really wonderful,

but I should be getting back to work.

Wh... so soon?

Well, we've been here for hours.

It's just...

there was one last thing I meant to show you.

Is it a dragon?

Close.

Please...

do me this honor.

Right this way.

You have got to be kidding me.

You're not afraid of horses, are you?

No. I adore horses.

Good. Well, come on then.

This is so beautiful.

I thought you might like it.

I only wish I didn't have to leave soon.

You're leaving? When?

A few days' time. Back to Northshire.

Duty calls.

I want you to come.

Jack...

Don't you want to?

We only just met.

Is there someone else?

No, no. It's nothing like that.

Look, I would love to share an adventure with you,

but I can't just up and leave my whole life at a moment's notice.

Alyssa, let me spoil you.

Let me help you take a break from all that for a while.

I really like you, Jack,

but like I told you, I just got out of a long relationship.

So, there is someone else.

No, there isn't, I swear.

It's just promised myself that I would take things slow,

and taking plane across the Atlantic

is just a bit too fast.

I'm so sorry I gave you the wrong impression.

Nonsense.

You only strengthened my resolve.

Driver, take us back.

Now, you stay. I'll go around.

Oh, thank you.

That was so fun.

Yes, it was.

Now, Taffer's going to take you home.

I, unfortunately, have a call I need to attend to.

Oh, okay.

I'll phone you tonight.

Take care of her.

Yes, sir.

We've arrived, miss.

Oh. Thank you.

It's Taffer, right?

That's right.

Apologies if I'm overstepping,

but you seem to really like Jack.

Yeah, I do. Is that all right?

Of course. It's...

You should know there's a lot of extra baggage

that goes along with a person in His Lord's position.

It's not for everyone.

I'm not really sure if you're giving me a warning

or offering me advice.

No. Nothing like that, miss.

Just make sure you keep your head about you.

Don't get dazzled by the glitz.

Thanks.

Don't you disappoint me.

So?! Tell me everything!

Well, it was fun and we went on a carriage ride.

Like Cinderella? Did he take you to the ball?

No, there was no ball,

there was no giant pumpkin, no glass slippers.

Hmm. I guess that's still reason enough... to marry him!

Stop.

Did you kiss?

Oh my God, I bet his breath smells like mint julep.

- Was there any tongue? - A little.

And then you left?

You left his sight?

Well, I had that late meeting with Thompson Management.

What? I would have covered for you!

I needed the commission.

Alyssa, if I were you, I'd already be back at his hotel.

Well, okay.

Unbelievable.

Sir, I...

What bone are you choking on? Spit it out.

Are you feeling all right?

Peachy. Why?

I haven't seen you take your meds recently.

Timothy has raised concerns.

Oh, are you here to diagnose me?

Shall I open up and say, "ahh"?

I'm no doctor, but I do have the ear of the royal physician,

who informed us, unequivocally,

how dangerous it is to taper off unsupervised.

You're getting obsessive again, sir.

Taffer, your job is to protect me,

not to patronize me. So, go. Leave my sight.

I said...

go!

Happy?

- Look at this. - What?

Rachel, oh my God.

According to the press,

you're half Goldilocks, half gold-digger.

The poor wrong girl with the right rich guy.

Only interested in the family jewels.

This is so not good.

Are you serious? This is awesome!

No one cares what they write in those blurbs. You're famous.

I'm never wanted to be famous.

I just wanted a nice guy to cuddle up with on a rainy day.

Well, that's basically what you've got,

except this one can knight people.

Or is that just the Queen?

I don't know.

When are you seeing him again?

Well, he did mention about flying back home

to close up some country chateau for the season.

Back to some isolated estate in the English countryside?

Sounds like a fairy tale. Tell me he invited you.

I mean, he might have hinted at it.

Okay, I am booking you

for a touch up with my stylist tomorrow morning.

Nothing fancy. Just a rinse and some thermal skin rejuvenation.

Okay, Rachel, no. I'm not...

No no's. This one's on me.

Not today.

Hello?

Alyssa, hey.

Uh, I was just, uh,

you know, wondering how you've been.

I'm doing good. Thanks, Chuck.

Great, great. Um...

I was just, you know, reaching out and...

Well, we didn't really end on the best terms and, uh...

I just wanted to let you know that...

I still care about you.

And I don't want to lose you from my life.

Well, you kind of made that choice for both of us.

I'm not trying to excuse any of my behavior...

Good. I'm glad we're on the same page.

I was just hoping that maybe we could meet for a coffee

or something soon.

Catch up a little?

Shouldn't you be busy with your new girlfriend?

It's not like that, Alyssa.

I'd just like to see you.

Nothing serious.

Just talk things out.

I don't know. I'm pretty busy.

Please? Um...

Just one conversation.

Okay. I don't know.

Maybe we can meet for coffee some time.

That sounds nice.

Okay, well, I have to go.

Okay, great. Um... talk soon.

Bye.

Hello?

Please come downstairs. Let me take you to dinner.

What?

I couldn't wait to see you.

I'm here now.

I don't know, Chuck.

It's just too much.

Just come talk to me.

Okay, fine.

But I'm not going to dinner with you.

I'll take it.

I'll be out in a minute.

I'll be waiting for you down here.

Hey, Chuck!

Do I know you?

Aren't you...

Chuck? Chuck?

I come from a long line of conquerors, Chuck.

It may seem like a lot of pomp and circumstance now,

but I assure you, our origins are carnage incarnate.

You awakened my territorial instinct.

She's mine.

Chuck, I don't know what game you think you're playing,

but it's not funny.

Don't bother calling me back.

This was a mistake.

Really?

Jack?

How did you find me?

Followed my heart.

What is this?

Just a token of my devotion.

Oh...

I know we've only just met,

I know this may seem reckless,

but I can't stop thinking about you.

Come back with me to Northshire.

My family has a getaway there.

It's quaint, away from the press, the cameras.

It will be just us.

It's where I can show you the true me.

I am really flattered, I am,

but I have a job and I have responsibilities.

Well, I already took the liberty

of calling your co-worker Rachel.

She's agreed to cover for you.

You spoke to Rachel?

Come with me, just for a few days -

a stolen moment in time.

Okay. Yes.

- Thank you, Taffer. - No worries, sir.

- Thank you. - Of course.

Is this all for us?

But of course.

And there's plenty of Champagne on board.

Ooh...

- After you. - Thank you.

You call this quaint? Is this where you live?

Or are you taking me on a museum tour?

Not live; summering.

In America, I suppose you'd call it going to the cottage.

You have horses?

Once upon a time.

They're all gone now, along with the staff.

Now, it's just a deathtrap waiting to crumble.

We stay clear of it.

Gotcha.

Wow.

Grandad used to take us here to go hunting when we were kids.

It hasn't gotten much use since he passed.

The press stopped watching it ages ago.

It's so beautiful.

Yes, it is.

Come.

This way.

Here we are.

This is amazing.

I'll leave you to settle in.

How does a cocktail later on sound?

Sounds wonderful.

Splendid.

Wow.

No way.

Come on.

Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

I came to fetch you for that drink.

Everything all right?

Mm-hmm.

Were you planning on wearing that as a hat?

Uh...

Oh. N-no. I-I got distracted.

But I found something.

What did you find?

This earring.

That's odd.

Is that blood?

- Blood? - Yeah.

No, that looks more like rust to me.

Likely dropped by some careless member of the cleaning staff.

And you know what they say -

the cheaper the trinket, the darker the tarnish.

Come.

I've set up a surprise for you outside in the garden.

Follow me.

Now, we're almost there.

You're doing great.

All right, you can open your eyes.

Oh, Jack... This is amazing.

You like it?

It's beautiful.

Good. Please join me?

To trans-Atlantic travel

and life's grand adventure.

To adventure.

I cannot believe that you grew up here,

running these halls,

through such opulence. My childhood was spent

exploring a twenty by twenty foot backyard in the suburbs.

Growing up,

I had no idea how ostentatious this all was.

I just thought of it as home.

Truth be told, I spent a lot of lonely hours out here,

out hiding in those woods, no one searching for me,

no one willing to play my games.

I don't believe you.

I bet you were the most popular guy in school.

Hah! You're thinking of Timothy.

No, I was the, uh...

the shy one, prone to poetry and mood-swings.

I only blossomed later on -

a hard-fought climb.

And what made you change?

- Change? - Mm-hmm.

For heaven's sake, I wasn't about to change.

To suit the whims of whom?

No, what I finally learned to do was accept who I was -

a person of powerful emotions,

a man of complicated desires.

What desires?

The usual.

Am I boring you?

Oh, no. Uh...

I'm just still adjusting to the time change

and possibly it could be...

all this the vermouth.

Why don't we call it a night?

I'm sure you'll be right as rain in the morning.

Oh, no. We're having so much fun.

We have all the time in the world.

I'll walk you to your room

because, above all else, I am a gentleman.

Thank you for a wonderful evening.

It was just the beginning.

Well...

until tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Night.

Night.

Goodnight, my sweet princess.

Jack?

Anybody?

Huh. Jack?

Hello?

Now, which way to the kitchen?

Can I help you, miss?

Oh, yeah. Hi. I'm trying to find the kitchen.

I wanted to make Jack some breakfast.

Is that the way we came in?

Sorry. This place is one big maze

and all the doors seem to be locked.

Apologies. Some of these old doors

still have automatic locking mechanisms -

a security measure from the wars.

In case the villagers rose up and attempted a coup.

Oh, right.

I haven't had the chance to stock the kitchen yet.

If there's anything you need,

you have only to ask.

Well, is Jack up?

I'm afraid the Prince is a notoriously late riser.

Oh, that's too bad.

It's such a beautiful morning; I wanted to go on a walk.

Well, if you like, miss, there's a pub not far from here.

They serve a mean devilled kidney, I'm told.

Yeah. Tell me more.

I'll draw you a map.

Word of warning, though - mind you don't stray off the path.

It's easy to get lost around these parts.

Okay, so which way do I go?

- Just around there. - Okay. See you soon.

Good morning. Bit early for a pint, isn't it?

Morning. Are you open?

Ehh, just about.

What can I do for you, love?

You wouldn't happen to have working Wi-Fi by chance?

We do. It's 7-2-5-4.

Perfect. Thanks.

7... 2... 5-4.

Great.

I'll take a coffee, please.

One coffee.

Thanks.

You are staying in town, then?

Yeah. I'm staying at the estate up the road.

So, you're staying with the royals?

Yeah. I probably shouldn't have mentioned that.

He really likes his privacy.

I'd be wary, miss, I were you.

Some strange stories from that place.

What do you mean?

Well, he's been a little...

- Oh...

I'm... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

No worries. I'll fetch another.

Um, no, no. That's okay.

I-I should be going.

Where are you, my sweet?

Timothy.

Of course.

Okay.

- Timothy! - Jack.

I didn't know you were coming.

The press has laid siege to Kensington.

I'd thought this might be a more peaceful setting

for Susan and the kids. I trust we're not intruding.

No. Your timing is impeccable, as always.

Taffer and I were just about to go hunting.

I thought you had to stop after that PETA campaign.

Water under the bridge.

Susan, look. My brother's here.

Hello, Jack.

This is a surprise.

Hi, Uncle Jack!

Hello! Ah, yes, apologies for the scheduling snafu.

I hadn't realized you planned on using the estate.

Well, we're happy to have you here; the more the merrier.

Actually, I was just about to depart.

My companion and I were going to tour the countryside.

- Ah... - Companion?

- Just a girl I met. - And she's going hunting?

With you and Taffer?

She's American.

Ah, of course. Children!

Let's get washed up and settled.

Jack, where's all the staff gone?

I sent them home in advance.

I thought it might be nice

to spend some time alone for a change.

Right. Just you and your companion and Taffer.

- How grand. - Indeed.

I guess you'll have to carry your own bags.

Right.

Miss, is that you in there?

You shouldn't be in here.

This old stable hasn't been used in years.

The slightest breeze could send it tumbling down on you.

Sorry. I just couldn't help myself.

You've been gone a long while.

The Prince will be worried.

Come along, miss.

Best not keep His Highness waiting.

Damn it!

Alyssa?

Can I come in?

Uh, yeah, just one second.

I missed you this morning.

Oh. Um, I went for a walk. I was looking for you.

Well, this dress belongs to my mother,

but I thought it might suit you.

Are you going somewhere?

Oh. Um, no.

I'm just doing some reorganizing.

Well, Taffer told me you did some exploring today.

Find anything interesting?

No, not really.

I've been thinking of you.

Is everything all right?

You're shaking like a lamb.

No, it's just a bit drafty in here.

Perhaps you dressed inappropriately

on your little excursion today

and caught yourself a chill.

Yeah, that must be it.

Well, when you're ready,

Taffer will be just outside the door.

Uh, ready for what?

Supper, of course!

My brother has paid us an unexpected visit.

It's my chance to show you off.

Your brother is here?

The heir apparent himself. See you soon.

Damn it.

Will your friend still be joining us, Jack,

or should we get started without her?

She's coming.

I'm sure she just wants to look perfect.

You know how intimidating it can be for the lower class,

supping with royalty.

Jack!

He's just trying to get a rise out of us, darling.

Ignore him.

I, for one, am famished.

Ah, here we are.

Smile, dear. Remember your manners.

Timothy, Susan, it's my pleasure to introduce you

to my friend, Alyssa.

Alyssa, that's my brother Timothy

and his lovely wife Susan.

- Charmed. - That's such a lovely gown.

Oh, thank you so much.

It's really nice to meet you both.

No chef on the staff this evening,

so I took the liberty of preparing

my semi-famous stew and dumplings.

Everyone, dig in.

Yes, apologies for the fare. We don't always eat like kings.

So, how long have you two been dating?

Not long. It's been sort of a whirlwind romance.

Where did you meet?

At an event in New York.

Does your friend speak for herself, Jack,

or are you practicing your ventriloquist act?

Um, Jack is right; it really was love at first sight.

Oh.

Hey!

Mum, she took the tablet and she won't give it back,

and it's my birthday!

Can we please go one day without an episode?

Now, you both have one.

The password is 1-1-9-2.

Children!

Such a little miracle, parenthood.

Maybe, one day,

I'll be lucky enough to find out for myself.

Alyssa... are you okay?

Yes. I just... have a pain in my stomach.

Would you excuse me?

Of course. Just down the hall and to your right

Thank you.

"Please help me."

"Call the police."

This was extremely ill-advised.

There are children here, innocents.

You'd place them all in danger?

What is going on here? Am I a prisoner?

Please, just open the door

and you will never hear from me ever again.

We both know that can't happen, miss.

Once the prince has seen his brother off,

he will explain everything.

Please...

Please just let me go. Please.

Please let me go. Please.

I am no ally to you, miss.

My loyalty is to the Crown.

She seems quite nice, if a trifle soft-spoken.

Do you imagine this one might linger awhile?

What is that supposed to mean?

I think what Timothy means

is it would be nice for you to finally settle down, Jack,

perhaps provide your nieces

and nephews some cousins to play with.

Settle down to a life of waving to buffoons

from the backs of Bentleys?

Please, just run me through now.

You can spurn your duties all you like, Jack,

but you won't turn your back on this family,

I won't allow it.

You think you have a choice? You think I have a choice?

We are the culmination

of ten centuries of bloodlines, brother -

cousins to King Henry, to Mad King George!

And you want me to be normal?

Settle down and sire some heirs?

Your lifestyle is unsustainable.

You can't be the tabloids'

favorite man-child forever, Jack.

Let's see how far you get without the Crown's support.

All set?

Yeah.

I've never be enough!

Not for you, or mum, or grandad.

You always treated me like an embarrassment!

For Pete's sake, Jack, you're acting like an animal!

This is precisely why we hid you away in the first place!

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

You don't have the stones!

Stop! You're acting like infants!

Look at me, sir! Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Clearly I'm not respected here.

Taffer, you dropped this.

Sir, I, uh...

Alyssa?!

What in God's green earth is going on here?

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

I'm sorry, I just need to take this.

I'll come find you. Hello?

Rachel? Rachel, it's me!

Alyssa, where are you?

I don't really know where I am, okay?

Jack, he took me to this castle.

- What? - I'm in England, and I...

I found a body. Please, you have to help me!

- Where are you exactly? - Please!

Alyssa? Alyssa!

No, no, no, no, no!

Alyssa!

Where have you gone off to?

Alyssa?

What are you playing at?

Whatever it is you think you might have seen,

let me assure you.

There is a perfectly rational explanation...

You're trying my patience!

I just want to talk to you, Alyssa.

Don't disappoint me.

I wanted you to be special, Alyssa.

Worthy of my attentions.

Do you want to stay nothing but common?

There is nothing common about me, Jack.

And I would never be with a deranged lunatic like you

just to end up in a place like this.

You know, these old castles

used to have a room,

far below.

Deeper than any dungeon.

They'd call it an "oubliette."

A place you would put those you wished forgotten.

I don't have any dungeon to put you in,

but I know how to dig a deep, dark hole.

No one will ever find you.

No one will even look.

I know how to dig a deep, dark hole.

No one will ever find you.

No one will even look.

How many women, Jack?

How many bodies are in that stable?

Did you just bring me here just to kill me?

Did you really think that your sparkling personality

would be enough?

For me?!

I am a prince.

I order flapjacks from girls like you.

Are you trying to hurt my feelings?

I learned how to deal with people like you

a very long time ago.

Before you die...

I will torture you slowly.

I will make you watch

as I drain every last drop.

Listening to you talk

is torture enough.

Be careful, Jack.

Your public is watching.

No... No!

Go.

Run!

Sir, it's time we stopped this madness.

Taffer, give me your gun.

Give me your gun.

You would betray me?

After everything we've been through together?

My family raised you up from nothing!

It's my family I'm thinking of, sir!

How much this would destroy them,

once the truth gets out.

I'm done covering for you.

You need to do the smart thing.

And what might that be?

We'll obtain the finest legal counsel.

Negotiate with authorities

and arrange for you to surrender yourself.

We'll ensure they take into account your mental state,

ensure the sentencing is just.

You would see me rot in some cell?

This is for your own good.

Yes, I suppose you're right.

This is the only way forward.

I won't leave your side, sir.

I'll be with you every step of the way.

You've always been so loyal, Taffer.

So devoted.

It's going to be all right.

You'll see.

We'll find you the best...

Thank you for your life of service.

You've been relieved.

Please.

Please. Please. You've got to help me.

Please, please! You need to help me!

Please, you need to call the police!

Please!

Give me your keys. Give them to me!

Okay, okay!

I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry, I didn't know!

Children? Timothy?

Darling, you look like you've seen a ghost.

What's the matter?

Timothy, it's your brother.

Be careful, Jack.

Your public is watching.

No.

No!

You need to do something.

You need to stop this.

Mummy, what's going on?

It's okay.

Alyssa?

Alyssa!

Jack!

What did you do?

Where's Taffer?

What have you done?

You knew.

You've always known,

you just chose to pretend,

to focus on what mattered to you.

Protecting the facade of the family.

Please, let me help you.

You can't help me!

My heart's gone rabid.

I've got nothing inside, just this...

- this rage. - Listen to me, Jack.

Whatever's happened, whatever you have done,

you're still my brother.

Let me help you.

I've tried so hard to keep...

No one can help me.

You're just a witness now, aren't you?

- Testimony to my depravity. - Jack, I...

Shh...

It's all right, brother. It's all right.

It was only a matter of time before you turned on me.

Out of love, I have spared you that betrayal.

That shame.

Alyssa?

Where are you running to, Alyssa?

Who do you think is going to help you?

Save you?

I'm the sovereign of these lands.

Every soul for thousands of yards,

they bow to me!

Alyssa?

Where are you running to?

There you are, my darling.

Please, Jack.

Don't make me do this.

Why?

Why? All I wanted to do

was adore you.

To give you my heart.

Perhaps seek your hand.

You wanted my hand?

I only had honorable intentions.

I'm falling in love with you, Alyssa.

You may be charming, Jack,

but you are no prince!

Apologies, sir.

My duty's to the crown.

More now on the shocking revelations

that have rocked the Royal Family.

Prince Jack, Earl of Northshire,

known globally for his humanitarian works,

as well as his high profile romantic exploits,

was captured during a live broadcast

appearing to confess to a series of brutal crimes

including kidnapping and murder.

All right, back it up, everybody.

Back it up.

Alyssa, is it true you killed the prince and his bodyguard?

- No questions! - Come on!

What's it like making out with the mad prince?

- No comment! - Gotta give us something.

Did he call your princess?

It is so good to be home.

How does it feel being famous?

Rachel, I never wanted to be famous.

Why do I keep on picking the wrong partner?

What about me? I could be your partner.

We could start our own firm,

and turn this newfound fame of yours to our advantage.

I think that could work out splendidly

What do you think, should we take our brand global?

I think after everything that's happened,

it's best to keep things domestic.

For now.

Good call.
