00:00:00Check your phone.
00:00:05Let's see...
00:00:10Toxic palace culture exposed behind the gilded walls.
00:00:15Hashtag palace abuse. What's going on?
00:00:20Huh. Is this another one of your cosplay obsessions?
00:00:25No. But I am going undercover.
00:00:30As a maid, we need to figure out where these bullying allegations stem from.
00:00:35Who cleaned on the second floor and left water stains everywhere?
00:00:40I was responsible for the second floor, ma'am.
00:00:45Oh, you were? Go upstairs and fix it.
00:00:50Did I teach you how to do it myself, you ungrateful cow?
00:00:55Did you just call her an ungrateful cow? Just like you.
00:01:00Born to serve, born to clean.
00:01:05Oh, neat. My shoe's dirty.
00:01:10Clean it. Excuse me? It's okay, I'll do it.
00:01:15You bitch!
00:01:20You got my shoes all wet!
00:01:25Look, I'll buy you some new shoes, okay?
00:01:30There are only a hundred of these sold globally. They're limited edition.
00:01:35They go for a hundred grand on the black market, idiot.
00:01:40It was an accident. Please forgive us. You want my forgiveness?
00:01:45Fine. Both of you, on your knees. Now. You're going to lick my shoes clean.
00:01:50Then, I'll think about it.
00:01:55Do it! You're both fired.
00:02:00No, please. I can't lose this job. I need this job to cover medical expenses.
00:02:05Look, I'll buy you some new shoes, okay?
00:02:10What is going on here?
00:02:15What is going on here? Elliot, what brings you here?
00:02:20I can hear you from the West Wing. What's this about? Elliot Grimshaw.
00:02:25Perfect timing. I'd like to report a bullying incident.
00:02:30Is that so?
00:02:40I don't dare you.
00:02:45Vivian is an excellent employee and real workhorse as head housekeeper here.
00:02:50I know her quite well. She's no bully, that's for sure.
00:02:55The Royal Family is about to start an internal investigation because of those rumors online.
00:03:00So, watch what you say and who you say to. You got it?
00:03:05Those two are sleeping together.
00:03:10Elliot Grimshaw, are you not worried about the internal investigation?
00:03:15Because you should be.
00:03:20And you know why? Because I am King of the East Wing.
00:03:25King of the East Wing.
00:03:30Looks like you're going to be scrubbing every fireplace in this house by the end of the day.
00:03:35What?
00:03:40Avalon? What the hell are you doing?
00:03:45It's part of my job now.
00:03:50Do you think you could find any dirt on Vivian Blackwell and Elliot Grimshaw?
00:03:55Of course.
00:04:00Grimshaw works in property management and Blackwell is the head housekeeper.
00:04:05Here, take a look.
00:04:10I know that they're sleeping together, but I don't know, I suspect their connections go higher up.
00:04:15We need to keep this raid going.
00:04:20Ava, do you need any help out there?
00:04:25So, I just talked to my uncle.
00:04:30You're going to be promoted to Deputy Director of Residences very soon.
00:04:35Oh my god, Elliot, thank you so much for everything.
00:04:40I know you're not too fond of those two housemaids.
00:04:45But let's keep that low-key, okay? Internal investigations, no joke.
00:04:50I'll be good, babe.
00:04:55Gomez.
00:05:03This is my son, Ethan.
00:05:08He's had heart issues ever since he was born. He means the world to me.
00:05:13You know, if you ever need any money or anything, I'd be happy to help.
00:05:18Search their closets!
00:05:23What is the meaning of this?
00:05:28That's insane, we didn't take your egg.
00:05:33What?
00:05:38I knew you were trouble, Ava. I just never took you as a thief.
00:05:43No, Vivian, there must be some kind of misunderstanding.
00:05:48That doesn't give you the right to help yourself to royal treasures.
00:05:53This is insane. Neither of us were anywhere near that egg, okay?
00:05:58Search them both. Who knows what other royal heirlooms they've stolen.
00:06:03This is assault!
00:06:08That is assault!
00:06:13I would assault you every single day if I wanted to.
00:06:18I'm gonna report you.
00:06:23Check the security footage. That'll show you that we did not take anything.
00:06:28I will, but if I see that you did, we're both going to prison.
00:06:33Wait, was that Ethan? Your son, you mean?
00:06:38It's proof they had someone break in and steal.
00:06:43What? Visiting? Guards?
00:06:48What are you doing here?
00:06:53Liar.
00:06:58You little shit. I'm gonna fire all of you.
00:07:03Who are you firing?
00:07:08Mr. Pierce. Vivian, why didn't you start working for HR?
00:07:13Mr. Pierce, these two thieves stole a priceless Fabergé egg.
00:07:18Is that so? Of course not, Mr. Pierce. We didn't steal anything.
00:07:23We found this in your bedroom. And I have security footage to prove it.
00:07:28On what grounds? That surveillance footage didn't show us stealing anything.
00:07:33She clearly planted the egg in the room to try and frame us.
00:07:38So about Vivian framing you specifically, she's the lead housekeeper.
00:07:43Why would she go through any length to frame you?
00:07:48Just because we're housemaids doesn't mean we'll sit here and accept false accusations.
00:07:53You have some nerve, darling, talking to me.
00:07:58You don't know me.
00:08:03Well, you know Lord Sebastian Stonegate?
00:08:08Yes, the second son of the Starlight of Duke. Yes, of course, I know of him, but what does that have to do with you?
00:08:13He works for me.
00:08:18Lord Sebastian Stonegate works for you.
00:08:23Listen, Princess, the Duke might pimp out his son to Princess Aveline, but he would never be interested in you.
00:08:28Escort them off premises immediately.
00:08:33Stay away from my mom.
00:08:38Nathan, Nolan Pierce, you just assaulted a child.
00:08:43You did.
00:08:48Excuse me?
00:08:53This is $100,000.
00:08:58Tell me again, who pushed your son?
00:09:03Who pushed your son?
00:09:08I did.
00:09:13I saw her put the egg in the room as I left.
00:09:18You little liar! Don't you dare put your hand on my son!
00:09:23Now we have a witness and you have nothing.
00:09:28What do you have to say, Mr. Pierce?
00:09:33How dare you talk to me that way?
00:09:38Like, by the way, it's a good mother-son duo we have going on here.
00:09:43Is that how you represent the palace? You're just saying whatever filthy thing comes into your mind?
00:09:48Wash your mouth. I'll have you kicked out as well.
00:09:53Oh, no, no, no. It's you that's getting thrown out of the palace, Nolan.
00:09:58Is that Sebastian Stonegate the Stonegate?
00:10:03What are you, the princess?
00:10:08You, princess? Sure. And I'm the king.
00:10:13Impressioning the princess is a serious crime.
00:10:18I know, but I am the princess. You'll see, Sebastian will be here any minute.
00:10:23Hey, are you living it?
00:10:28Maybe she can be your princess, Mr. Pierce.
00:10:33I reconsider it.
00:10:38Get your hands off of me!
00:10:43Don't lay a finger on her.
00:10:48Oh, you're Sebastian.
00:10:53Indeed I am. And this woman right here, this is Princess Aveline.
00:10:58I can't find him online. It's best to stay away from these maniacs, buddy boy.
00:11:03What did you just say to me? It's best to stay away from these maniacs.
00:11:08Impersonating a member of the royal family is highly illegal, I would say.
00:11:13Sebastian? I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness.
00:11:18You know our families wanted to keep us under the radar.
00:11:23As far as the Pierces go, I've been working at the palace, but I've actually never interacted with them.
00:11:28I'll call the department of residences.
00:11:33You sure did hire a lot of actors.
00:11:38Hello?
00:11:43Yes, I understand. Thank you.
00:11:48Is everything okay, Mr. Pierce?
00:11:53Princess Aveline is leading the internal interactions.
00:11:58She'll be here pretty soon. She'll be here rapidly.
00:12:03What do we do now?
00:12:08Well, we can't let her know that we've been firing people.
00:12:13So, it is your lucky day. You can go back to work.
00:12:18I will deal with the solution later on.
00:12:23Watch your back.
00:12:28It's okay, Sebastian.
00:12:33You know, we could fire Nolan and Vivian if you want.
00:12:38Not yet. I don't have any hard evidence yet.
00:12:43You're saying you're still going to work as a housemaid?
00:12:48Aveline, I can't bear the way they treat you.
00:12:53It's okay. I can take care of myself.
00:12:58Oh, and could you give this check to Lena for me?
00:13:03It's an anonymous donation.
00:13:08Of course, Your Royal Highness.
00:13:19Mr. Grimshaw, please. If you could advance me some of my payments, I would be so grateful.
00:13:24I just have some medical bills I have to cover.
00:13:29Not happening, Lena. House policies.
00:13:34No, please. I would do anything.
00:13:39There are indeed quick ways to make money, Lena. I know some people if you're interested.
00:13:45You have a great body, Lena.
00:13:50You should put it to use. Hot housemaids always have a market.
00:13:55Sebastian. Hey.
00:14:00I thought I gave you a check for Lena.
00:14:05Well, I passed it to the Department of Residences. What's wrong?
00:14:10Lena!
00:14:15Are you okay?
00:14:20Wait, you again? Why don't you stay out of my business, you bitch?
00:14:25You were going to pay for this. Pay for what? She asked for this. Isn't that right?
00:14:30I need the money. They're going to kick Ethan out of the hospital unless I can pay the last two medical bills.
00:14:35Didn't you get the donation? What donation? The Princess. She made a very generous donation to cover the medical bills.
00:14:40Ethan's going to be fine. Really? Yes.
00:14:45If. That's a very big if. The Princess Eveline did make a donation to a lowly housemaid.
00:14:50She would never get it.
00:14:55What do you mean she would never get it?
00:15:00That's the way the world works.
00:15:05There is no donation. She's lying to you. Why don't you tell her to leave and we can get back to the fun time we were having.
00:15:10Are you sure about the donation? Yes, I would never lie to you.
00:15:15It's something the Palace organized. I even contributed. Oh, the Palace?
00:15:20How come none of us have ever heard about it then?
00:15:25I'm not lying, Lena. There is a donation. I'm not lying.
00:15:30I'm sorry, Ava. You should just go. I need the money. Lena.
00:15:35Hold on. I changed my mind. I see potential in you, Ava.
00:15:40Why not you stay and I'll pay her the money?
00:15:45I beg your pardon?
00:15:50Ava. You're young. You're sexy.
00:15:55You know how much money you can make using that body of yours?
00:16:00Are you okay?
00:16:05Okay, Ava. You should just go. I need the money anyway. Please just take me.
00:16:10Leave Ava alone. Let her go.
00:16:15The things they do for money. Lena, stop. Stop. You don't have to do this.
00:16:20Take this. Put all the medical bills right on this card, okay?
00:16:25What's this? Whose card is this? Did you steal it?
00:16:30It has my initials on it. Vivian.
00:16:35It has my initials, Ava Thompson.
00:16:40If you break that card, that is a criminal offense.
00:16:45What is happening here?
00:16:50What is happening here? Cleaning up this mess before Princess Avalon arrives?
00:16:55It doesn't belong. We were having a fine time until she started flaunting her fake credit card.
00:17:00It's a royal black credit card. Royal? What's a royal black card? It looks like a fake.
00:17:05This is an exclusive card for the royal members of the family as well as invited associates.
00:17:10What are you doing with it exactly? It's my card. Now give it back.
00:17:15Yours? The royal family?
00:17:20Oh, I forgot. You're Princess Avalon. It has my initials on it. It's my card.
00:17:25This is a serious matter. Possession of this card illegally is considered treason.
00:17:30So I'm just going to hang on to it until I can find the right owner. But for now, back to work.
00:17:35Nolan Pierce, this is an order. Hand it over.
00:17:40What is all this noise about?
00:17:45Miss Trentham. Miss Trentham, to what do we owe the pleasure?
00:17:50Well, the investigation team was coming. I just figured I'd check in. Is everything okay?
00:17:55Missing royal card, ma'am.
00:18:00That looks like mine. Thanks, Nolan. Of course it is. It has your initials A and T on it. I really should have reached out sooner.
00:18:05Those are my initials. That's my card.
00:18:10Who is this? No one. It is a housemaid. She's claiming the card is hers, but look at her.
00:18:15Yeah, it's okay. She can't use my card.
00:18:20Unless, would you like to show everybody how you contact your personal concierge at the Royal Sovereign Bank?
00:18:25What? Why?
00:18:30Because it's my card, my rules. Plus, I don't need to prove anything to a little filthy housemaid.
00:18:35I don't need to prove to a housemaid that the card is mine.
00:18:40It's not your card. It never was.
00:18:45And that doesn't make it yours either, sweetie.
00:18:50Besides, do you really think that anybody is going to believe that a little peasant housemaid like you could own a Royal Sovereign card?
00:18:55Amelia, you're going too far.
00:19:00Oh, cute. But I'm the one who calls the shots on what goes too far.
00:19:05Amelia Trenton. Widow of John Trenton.
00:19:10Now married to David Fairfax, our esteemed Chief of Protocol.
00:19:15And look at you. Now Director of Residences.
00:19:20Seems you've always had a knack for advancing your position.
00:19:25Are you imposing something?
00:19:30And how do you know that?
00:19:35I know everyone in the palace.
00:19:40Because I am Princess Aveline.
00:19:45You? Princess Aveline?
00:19:50Oh my god, in your dreams.
00:19:55Somebody really needs to put you in your place.
00:20:00So, that's where you belong. On the floor. Mopping. Scrubbing.
00:20:05Dream on all day that you want to be a princess, but sweetie, it's not going to get you anywhere.
00:20:10Okay, that's enough, Amelia. What happened to the donation?
00:20:15Is there a donation?
00:20:20No, no, I haven't seen one.
00:20:25Well, you're spreading lies.
00:20:30Lord Sebastian must have given the check to you. And you, what, you pocketed it?
00:20:35Miss Trenton, I need that money to save my son's life.
00:20:40$200,000? How'd you know it's $200,000?
00:20:45She said that she needed it.
00:20:50$200,000 for her son's medical bills.
00:20:55So why would I take $200,000?
00:21:00Well said, Miss Trenton. $200,000 couldn't even buy you that handbag you have.
00:21:05What's this?
00:21:10It's just a check.
00:21:15For Lena that you stole.
00:21:20Prove it then. Aren't you afraid Princess Aveline's going to find out?
00:21:25About unspoken scandals?
00:21:30Or the royal family?
00:21:35Here's your check, madame. Stop spreading your lies.
00:21:40What if I told you that Prince Sebastian actually gave me this check for Lena?
00:21:45Did I just decide not to give it to her?
00:21:50You all just heard that. She just admitted she's stealing the check.
00:21:55Well done, Aveline.
00:22:00Very perceptive for those of you who don't know about the check.
00:22:05I don't recall anything about a check, Miss Trentham.
00:22:10I have heard nothing about a check.
00:22:15I can't believe this is happening. This is a life-saving situation right now.
00:22:20I didn't realize that your life was that cheap.
00:22:25Hello? Yes, I'm Ethan's mom.
00:22:30What? Where? Okay, I'll be right there.
00:22:35Ethan just passed out at school. He's at the hospital. Okay, let's go.
00:22:40Aveline, you're...
00:22:45I mean, I checked in on your son, and he's in treatment now.
00:22:50Hey, don't worry. I covered all his medical bills. Thank you so much.
00:22:55Oh, you must be Ava's boyfriend, right? No, I'm not. Yes, yes, this is my boyfriend.
00:23:00I texted him on the way over here, right, son? Right, yeah.
00:23:05Oh, right, you were the one who pretended to be Lord Sebastian Stoney before. Yes, yes, this is him.
00:23:10Lord Sebastian's. That really helps sometimes.
00:23:15Lena, would you like to go see your son? Please.
00:23:20Thank you for playing along tonight. Of course. Anything you need.
00:23:25We do have to keep this up for a little bit longer, though.
00:23:30Do not use my real name in public, okay? Of course you're what?
00:23:35If you want, you can have Amelia Trentham investigated.
00:23:40No, not yet. That'll spook the bigger fish. Amelia's not that important.
00:23:45So what's your plan now? Transfer me to the Department of Residences. Checkmate.
00:23:50Well played, Your Royal Highness.
00:23:55Oh, for fuck's sake, you.
00:24:00What are you doing here? I transferred.
00:24:05How many dicks did you have to suck to get there? Oh, is that how you got your job?
00:24:10You two, sit down now.
00:24:15Lena, I'm so happy to see you here.
00:24:20I was so thrilled to hear about your transfer.
00:24:25That was entirely uncalled for.
00:24:30Oops, didn't see the little maid there.
00:24:35Why don't you go make yourself useful and grab a mop?
00:24:40Oh, no, Ava, it's okay. I'll clean up. Yes, yes, stick to what you know.
00:24:45Hold on.
00:24:50You are not going to let this exquisite rosewood soak, are you?
00:24:55No. Remove your uniform and clean it up with that.
00:25:00Do it, or you're both fired.
00:25:05It's okay, Ava. It's not a big deal. You do not have to do that. Hey, she's not your personal maid.
00:25:10Ava, that's really sweet. I don't want you to lose your job over me.
00:25:15She can't fire anyone.
00:25:20A barking dog never bites. Who are you calling a dog?
00:25:25You can't do anything. Maybe I can't.
00:25:30But I do know people, and I know someone who is going to fire your sorry ass.
00:25:35No, no, no, no, no. You're the one that's getting fired. I'll make sure you pay for what you've done.
00:25:40Ugh, you again?
00:25:45You aren't supposed to be here today.
00:25:50You again? You aren't supposed to be here today. How do you know that?
00:25:55Miss Trentham, Ava has been causing such a scene on our first date.
00:26:00Somebody very important is coming today. You better shut up.
00:26:05Oh, okay. Is that why you're here?
00:26:10Wait. Isn't today the day the royal family gives out a special gift to one of the royal staff members?
00:26:15Right. The chosen staff member that gets $500,000
00:26:20and tea with the queen herself.
00:26:25Yes. Of course I do.
00:26:30That should go to somebody who actually helps the palace, not someone who sits here and lets bullying slide.
00:26:35You know what? If you keep bad-mouthing me, I'm going to start to think that you're just trying to get my attention.
00:26:40You two are done. Pack up your bags and get out of the palace by the end of the day.
00:26:45No, no, no. Please. I apologize for Ava. Please don't fire me.
00:26:50Are you actually asking her for a bribe right now in front of everybody?
00:26:55Don't twist my words. Apologize to Miss Trentham. Immediately.
00:27:00Apologize? For what? Telling the truth?
00:27:05Apologize. Or for this video. It's the internet.
00:27:10Fine. Go ahead. Post it. But you're going to be the one losing your job.
00:27:15How adorable. Do you really think the royal family will have your back once that video is online?
00:27:20No, please, Mr. Pierce. Don't post the video. I apologize for Ava.
00:27:25She's young and she has her whole life ahead of her. Please don't post it.
00:27:30Your apologies only count for you. Not her.
00:27:35Wait. You know, I have a really good idea. Why don't you two get on your knees on the floor
00:27:40and beg for my forgiveness? In your dreams, Amelia. Is that how you beg?
00:27:45Or are you just cool with all of your photos being on the internet? No, Miss Trentham, please. I'll do it.
00:27:50Just please forgive us. No, no. You don't have to do that. You go ahead. You post that.
00:27:55You go ahead. You post that. There will be serious consequences.
00:28:00It's a pretty serious charge.
00:28:05That's right. Because you're Princess Aveline. That won't work, darling.
00:28:10If anything, we should report you for impersonating a member of the royal family.
00:28:20Pay for it. Oh, my God. That's the latest from Pendulum Paris.
00:28:25What? You did that. Did I?
00:28:30I saw it with my own eyes. Lena sliced it.
00:28:35Miss Trentham, how much does it cost?
00:28:40$500,000. So now, you owe $200,000.
00:28:45And here's some tenable expenses.
00:28:50$500,000 for Miss Trentham's purse. That's $700,000.
00:28:55Okay, Vivian, thank you so much for the math lesson. This is getting really old.
00:29:00You know what? I'm done.
00:29:05I want to tell my mom that this award can't go to anyone in the Department of Residences.
00:29:15Ava, are you really the Princess Aveline? Yes, I am.
00:29:20Mr. Morrow. Who's that?
00:29:25It's Vincent Morrow. He works in the Treasury Department.
00:29:30I'm here to announce the Special Contribution Award on Princess Aveline's behalf.
00:29:35This year's Special Contribution Award goes to Amelia Trentham.
00:29:40What? No, no. It can't go to her.
00:29:45Thank you so much for your help.
00:29:50I really appreciate it.
00:29:55You're bribing him right now in front of everyone. Are you worried about getting caught at all?
00:30:00Bribing? It's just a little gift from my wife.
00:30:05Nolan, can you please call the police? They stole from me and they lied.
00:30:10And they broke my handbag. You seriously want to get the police involved in this?
00:30:15Mr. Pierce, please don't call the police. I need this job to pay medical bills for my son.
00:30:20Lena, it's okay. We didn't do any of the things they're saying we did. Okay, but how are we going to prove that? Who's going to believe us?
00:30:25I will. I saw Amelia cut her bag and I saw her bribing. You're Nora, right?
00:30:30God, I should have taken care of you so long ago. Don't worry, you don't have to be here for long.
00:30:35That's the director before her.
00:30:40I recorded you cutting your bag, Amelia, so you're going to leave them alone or I'm going to post it.
00:30:45Are you sure that you want to join their team?
00:30:50That director job is yours if you just delete the video, sweetheart.
00:30:55No. Give me my phone back.
00:31:00Yes! I won again!
00:31:05Oh my God, Tom is going to be...
00:31:10My mom wouldn't have... You're really getting on my nerves.
00:31:15Thank you, Nora. I'll make sure you get justice.
00:31:20We've seen what she does in the palace. I don't think the three of us can take her down. Guards! Get them.
00:31:25No.
00:31:30Stop! Everyone stop. Mr. Leatherman, Sebastian Stonegate is on his way here.
00:31:35Why is he here?
00:31:40I'm not sure. What do we want to do with them?
00:31:45Take them away.
00:31:50I'll help you find a new job. I promise.
00:31:55Thank you. This is all my fault.
00:32:00It's been like that ever since Amelia took over. It's either you play by their rules or you're out.
00:32:05Hello? Okay. I'll be right there.
00:32:10It's the hospital. Ethan's improving.
00:32:15I don't know how to thank you, Eva.
00:32:20Hi, Eva. There's a car waiting outside for you. Sam's going to drive later.
00:32:25You're Lord Sebastian Stonegate.
00:32:30Yes, I am. And you are?
00:32:35She used to work at the Department of Residences.
00:32:40Oh.
00:32:45Amelia's game is promising promotions, pocketing bribes, then just kicking people to the curb?
00:32:50I've got video proof of her taking money from different people. I'm sure they would love to testify.
00:32:55Great. So what are we waiting for?
00:33:00We're still missing something. Her Incaside connection.
00:33:05You know what? Let's just wait until the Royal Charity Gala.
00:33:10And if we still don't have any proof, I'll just expose her then.
00:33:15Yes, Your Royal Highness.
00:33:20What's wrong?
00:33:25School is doing this retreat for top students, and I didn't make the cut.
00:33:30I'll take care of it.
00:33:35How did he make it when I didn't? I used every test.
00:33:40Maybe because your dad cares. Oh, wait! You don't have one.
00:33:45Whoa! Hey! That's enough, both of you!
00:33:50Miss, are you Ethan's mother? I'm his mother's colleague.
00:33:55Of course not. Let's go. Wait, the retreat for the top students. She kicked me off for him.
00:34:00You didn't make it because you're not good enough.
00:34:05I was on the list yesterday. Ethan Finch, did your mother teach you to lie?
00:34:10Ethan, stop. There has to be a better way to handle this.
00:34:15His behavior proves my point. I could have him expelled for this.
00:34:20You think she answers to you? Why don't you make a $100,000 donation?
00:34:25And then we'll talk.
00:34:30This entire school runs on my donation.
00:34:35You! Don't make me laugh.
00:34:40Sebastian.
00:34:45I love your speech in the Glasgow conference.
00:34:50I would kill for a chance to do business with you.
00:34:55Thank you. Really.
00:35:00Hello. I'll be right there.
00:35:05Would you happen to know where the headmistress' office is?
00:35:10What's the rush if you don't mind me asking?
00:35:15It's my girlfriend.
00:35:20I can sort you.
00:35:25Could Princess Ethan really be his girlfriend?
00:35:30Nick, are you okay?
00:35:35Who?
00:35:40You. I'm not doing this again. Come on, let's go.
00:35:45Wait. He stole my place for the retreat.
00:35:50What retreat?
00:35:55The one I told you about two days ago that you donated $100,000 for.
00:36:00If you had change.
00:36:05Ethan, you're a good student, but the retreat is not for people like you.
00:36:20Lord Stonegate. What brings you here?
00:36:25Unnecessary trouble for Lord Stonegate's girlfriend.
00:36:30My lord. I'll see her through, I promise.
00:36:45My husband will be here shortly. You guys better leave. He's really good friends with the committee.
00:36:50What is that? Number three?
00:36:55I see how you make your career dancing.
00:37:00A little housemaid like you wouldn't know a woman's true ambition.
00:37:05There's most certainly more respectable ways to achieve one's goals.
00:37:10I don't need your approval. Oh, and guess what? Lord Sebastian is here with his girlfriend.
00:37:15How do you know I'm not his girlfriend? Because if you were the girlfriend, you better lay low.
00:37:20Princess Aveline is a handful.
00:37:25Lord Sebastian. Who are you calling a handful?
00:37:30Now, who are you calling a handful?
00:37:35What is the meaning of this? It's her. She's the troublemaker.
00:37:40I'll kill you or I'll expel your son. Can he do that?
00:37:45Can he? No, Lord Sebastian. He can't.
00:37:50David, show what you're capable of.
00:37:55Shut up. Is it because of Lord Sebastian?
00:38:00She literally told us of her plan to seduce him.
00:38:05It's a mistake, Olivia. Accepting donations without consulting the board is embezzlement.
00:38:10I didn't take it. She gave it to me. It's her fault.
00:38:15You backstabbing little bitch. You told me that if I gave you a donation that you would save a spot for my son on the coach.
00:38:20Enough.
00:38:25Your Royal Highness, how would you like me to handle this?
00:38:30Is she really the princess?
00:38:35You said she was your girlfriend.
00:38:40My girlfriend can't be the princess.
00:38:45I mean, I thought the entire country knew of Sebastian's intentions to marry me.
00:38:50That's right, Your Royal Highness.
00:38:55You owe me a royal black card, don't you?
00:39:00And a check for $200,000. Please.
00:39:05Please what? I haven't even begun to get into the countless insults you've hurled at me.
00:39:10And didn't you try to fire me? And Lena many times.
00:39:15Your Royal Highness, please, just let me beg for your forgiveness.
00:39:20There are a lot of chances for you. You can think over your actions in prison.
00:39:25Guards!
00:39:30Royal spoiled little brat. Look, go with me.
00:39:35You guys will all pay for this. You'll rot in hell.
00:39:40You okay?
00:39:45It's all right. It's just a scratch. It'll heal.
00:39:50Your Highness, this was all her doing. I took no part in this.
00:39:55Indeed. But what are your intentions with Sebastian? I am aware your estate's in strife.
00:40:00Your Royal Highness is true. I've experienced many financial difficulties as of late, but if I could only...
00:40:05In your dreams. You're lucky I don't send you to prison with her.
00:40:10I'm sorry. Apology accepted.
00:40:15Apology accepted.
00:40:20Ethan will be going to the retreat. Not Nick.
00:40:25And where do you think you are going?
00:40:30I'm so sorry, Your Royal Highness. I really do appreciate my position here.
00:40:35I don't want to waste my money paying people like you. Fire her.
00:40:40She's not fit to be a teacher. Yes, Your Highness.
00:40:45No! No, please!
00:40:50Amelia's been off the radar for weeks now. I don't want anything to hurt her.
00:40:55Why don't you go buy something?
00:41:05It's not that deep.
00:41:10Here, just make sure you put this on twice a day, okay? Do I have something on my face?
00:41:15Oh, no. Sorry.
00:41:20Thank you for everything.
00:41:25You don't have to do any of it. But I want to.
00:41:30And, you know, if it bothers you,
00:41:35you know what people say about us, I can deal with it.
00:41:40Am I interrupting something? No, Nora.
00:41:45Did you finish that task that I gave you earlier? Yes, Your Royal Highness.
00:41:50I mailed the Royal Charity Gala invites and I checked in with the Secretary's office.
00:41:55I think I'm going to go check on Lina and Ethan and then go get her dress for the gala.
00:42:04Eva, you've done so much for me already, but I don't want you to spend more money on me.
00:42:09Oh, it's okay. Just think of this as a welcome back to the palace gift.
00:42:14But look at this place. I've never been anywhere like this. Hey, you'll do just fine.
00:42:19Look at this one. This would look stunning on you. Do you want to try it on?
00:42:25Not your style. I'm sorry? Would you like to try this one instead?
00:42:30Oh, sorry. No, we're actually we're shopping for a gala.
00:42:35Well, then we don't have anything here for you. What is your problem?
00:42:44Well, in case you didn't know, this is a members only boutique.
00:42:50I'm a member.
00:42:51Silver. Wow. Sure. Enjoy.
00:42:55It's okay, Eva. Let's just look at these.
00:43:00Where's your newest collection?
00:43:02Miss Blackwell, I will go get that for you immediately.
00:43:06That's not fair. You were here first.
00:43:08It's okay. I'm used to it.
00:43:10Oh, this is nice.
00:43:13Lovely choice, Miss Blackwell. Lovely choice.
00:43:17This would look really good on you, too.
00:43:19I'll take this one, too.
00:43:22What the hell is your problem?
00:43:26What the hell is your problem?
00:43:28Watch your language. Miss Blackwell is a Diamond member.
00:43:32Oh, and that makes her better than us? What are they?
00:43:35Silver.
00:43:38Looks like I am superior to you, at least in this shop.
00:43:43I'll take both of those.
00:43:46Take a seat, Miss Blackwell. I'll get these wrapped up for you immediately.
00:43:49No, if you check out those dresses, I will make sure to shut down this boutique today.
00:43:55I'm sorry. Who do you think you are, lady?
00:43:58I'm the largest shareholder of this company.
00:44:00The largest shareholder? Then how come you're just a Silver member? That makes no sense.
00:44:05Call your manager. Ask.
00:44:07Do it. She's just a housemaid.
00:44:09Yes, hello. I would like to see if there's a shareholder by the name of...
00:44:14Ava Thompson. That's not my name.
00:44:16Ava Thompson. I see. Thank you.
00:44:19Unfortunately, we do not have a name, Ava Thompson, on our shareholder list.
00:44:24Yeah, probably not, because that's not my name.
00:44:26What's your name, Ava?
00:44:27My name is Aveline Thornwood.
00:44:32Sorry. I forgot about your little princess diaries fantasy.
00:44:37Ava, you should really consider checking into a mental institution here.
00:44:42Sebastian, come to the address I just texted you, please.
00:44:45You really think she could be a princess?
00:44:47No, idiot.
00:44:48She pulls this all the time.
00:44:50What are you still doing here? Go wrap my dresses.
00:44:58Unfortunately, this is not registering.
00:45:01What? Try again.
00:45:07I'm deeply sorry, Miss Blackwell. Do you happen to have another card?
00:45:10Hold on!
00:45:14Hi, honey. The card isn't working.
00:45:20What?
00:45:22What is that supposed to mean?
00:45:28You know what? These dresses are actually made for peasants and totally not my vibe, so...
00:45:37Miss Blackwell, your card!
00:45:41It seems to be your lucky day, ladies.
00:45:44I wouldn't say that.
00:45:46What is this stain? Was it you?
00:45:49No, we didn't do anything.
00:45:51It was you. I saw you.
00:45:52No, we didn't do that.
00:45:53You're going to pay for this.
00:45:54Go check the security footage. I'll go with you.
00:45:56You do not have the right to check surveillance.
00:45:59Now, you are either going to pay for this or I call the police.
00:46:02No one's calling the police.
00:46:08You okay?
00:46:09You okay?
00:46:10I'm alright.
00:46:11Do you need the documents from the shareholder?
00:46:13Right here.
00:46:14Um, small issue. These are issued under my name.
00:46:19Fine. But I need you to have my back on this one, okay?
00:46:22Always, Your Royal Highness.
00:46:24Who is that?
00:46:25He is our largest shareholder.
00:46:27And this here is my girlfriend, to whom you have both made very, very upset.
00:46:33I demand an explanation. Now.
00:46:36Of course, sir. I'll personally see to this matter immediately.
00:46:42I'm sorry, ma'am. I'll get them wrapped up for you right now. I deeply apologize.
00:46:46Why the sudden change in attitude?
00:46:48Your employee's lack of respect is shocking.
00:46:52You should fire him.
00:46:53What? Fire me?
00:46:55You can't fire me.
00:46:57You were the one that told me silver members aren't worth our time.
00:47:02Frankly, I don't see why we keep the shop open.
00:47:05Please, don't do this, ma'am.
00:47:07I'm afraid it's too late for that.
00:47:15My credit cards are frozen.
00:47:18No one's not picking up.
00:47:28Vincent!
00:47:30How are you? I miss you.
00:47:33I miss you, too.
00:47:37All right. So, as you can see, I froze Elliot and Nolan's credit cards while I'm assuming their assets.
00:47:43And then here is the evidence for their investment.
00:47:47Thank you, Sebastian.
00:47:51You know, I was thinking of later going to pick up Lena and I's dresses from the shop.
00:47:56Would you like to come in?
00:47:58Yeah, of course, Your Royal Highness.
00:48:03You look really stunning, Your Royal Highness.
00:48:08Avalon, I got you something.
00:48:11Hope you like it.
00:48:13Oh, they're stunning.
00:48:15Thank you, Sebastian.
00:48:17You didn't have to do that.
00:48:19But I wanted to.
00:48:21I know.
00:48:23Get out of my way!
00:48:26Let's go.
00:48:31Barbie, I'm...
00:48:34I'm terribly sorry, but it's not possible to customize a dress in less than 24 hours.
00:48:39I'll pay double.
00:48:41It's not about money.
00:48:43Then I'll pay this one.
00:48:45I'm sorry, but this is another client.
00:48:47It's mine now. Like I said, I'll pay double.
00:48:50Put the dress down, Didion.
00:48:53Oh my gosh, you again.
00:48:55That's my dress. Please give it back.
00:48:57If you insist on taking this dress, I'll have to call the police.
00:49:12Can I please fire her now?
00:49:15No, not yet.
00:49:17I have plans for her tomorrow night.
00:49:23Oh, it's for you.
00:49:26Nora, hi.
00:49:28What? Wait, slow down. Stop.
00:49:33What?
00:49:35Okay, yeah, just keep looking. I'll be right back.
00:49:39What was that about?
00:49:42Apparently, someone contacted the global press
00:49:45saying they're going to expose the unspoken scandal at the palace.
00:49:49Schedule an interview for two days from now.
00:49:51Who's the leak?
00:49:53Most likely, Vincent Morrow.
00:49:55That's not a surprise.
00:49:57It's like the big boss is finally showing his true colors.
00:50:01I'll get him Morrow for tomorrow.
00:50:04It's planned, dude.
00:50:06I'll see you then.
00:50:09The payout's huge, baby.
00:50:11More than enough cash for both of us to live like royalty far away from here.
00:50:18I need you to help me get rid of that Robert Thompson.
00:50:31Look at you, all dressed up.
00:50:35Boss, you are looking sharp, and those earrings are something else.
00:50:40Thank you, Nora.
00:50:42At your service, Your Royal Highness.
00:50:47I told you I wanted the most expensive dress, not this cheap, ugly knockoff.
00:51:18Hey.
00:51:29Ava, hi.
00:51:31I can't find the dress that you mentioned anywhere.
00:51:33Are you sure it's in the dressing room?
00:51:38I swear you put it right there.
00:51:40Avalon, the surveillance cameras are broken.
00:51:42Ava, I'm so sorry.
00:51:44I'll pay you back.
00:51:45In that sense, it was a gift.
00:51:47It's all my fault.
00:51:48No.
00:51:49Hey, if it's anybody's fault, they're thieves.
00:51:52Vivian, you are killing it with this dress.
00:51:54My what?
00:51:55This whole thing?
00:51:56Is that Lumiere Altier?
00:51:58Since when do you have access to their appointment-only showroom?
00:52:01It's just a dress.
00:52:03Just a dress?
00:52:05Vivian, Lumiere Altier is the Queen's go-to.
00:52:08I know.
00:52:09I'll save his gift.
00:52:12Vivian, the dress belongs to me.
00:52:14Return it now.
00:52:16This is a Lumiere Altier.
00:52:19You're just a housemaid.
00:52:20You can't afford something like this.
00:52:22A housemaid?
00:52:23And she's claiming the dress is hers?
00:52:25Vivian, I'm not here for your mockery.
00:52:27Give me my dress back now.
00:52:31I suggest you leave before you embarrass yourself any further.
00:52:41Leave my mom alone.
00:52:46You little shit.
00:52:47Back off.
00:52:48Ethan, what are you doing here?
00:52:49You're supposed to be at the doctor's today.
00:52:50Ava told me to come.
00:52:51Sarah, call security.
00:52:53Why are you calling security?
00:52:54Because your little bastard assaulted me.
00:52:56I didn't hit you.
00:52:58You humiliated my mom, stole her dress, and now you're lying to us.
00:53:02Ethan, we don't solve our problems with violence.
00:53:05Ms. Blackwell, I apologize for my son's behavior.
00:53:07I'm feeling sick, okay?
00:53:11I need to go to the emergency room.
00:53:13And you're going to be the one paying for my medical bills.
00:53:18What? That's ridiculous.
00:53:19You shoved me first.
00:53:20Did anybody see me shove her?
00:53:22I saw nothing.
00:53:23I didn't see Vivian do anything to you.
00:53:24How could you do this?
00:53:25You know what?
00:53:26Ava will believe me.
00:53:27Oh, you mean your little housemaid friend who likes to play princess?
00:53:31Please.
00:53:32Mom, Ava is the princess.
00:53:33What?
00:53:34Princess Avali?
00:53:35Your mom is friends with Princess Avali?
00:53:37She really is the princess.
00:53:38Lord Sebastian Stonegate was with her, and they funded my school.
00:53:41She'll make this right.
00:53:44Your phone isn't working.
00:53:45It's okay, Ethan. Let's not trouble Ava anymore.
00:53:47Vivian, I can't afford to pay you.
00:53:49Fine.
00:53:51Why don't you remove your dress,
00:53:54do a little strip dance,
00:53:56shake that ass,
00:53:57and I'll record the video and sub...
00:54:03...record and sub...
00:54:05...you.
00:54:07I wouldn't cause a scene at a gala, Vivian.
00:54:10You okay, Alina?
00:54:11I'm okay, but the dress.
00:54:13Take off that dress, thief.
00:54:15This is my dress. I bought it.
00:54:17You didn't buy it. You stole that from the dressing room.
00:54:19This is from La Miere Atelier, okay?
00:54:21You can't afford something like this.
00:54:23I bought it for her, Vivian.
00:54:25You have no proof?
00:54:26Oh, I can.
00:54:27And I will.
00:54:28But this is your last chance, Vivian.
00:54:31But this is your last chance, Vivian.
00:54:33You either take off the dress and we forget about this,
00:54:35or I bring out the proof and we call the police.
00:54:38You do know how much it's worth, don't you?
00:54:43You can't prove anything unless you have the receipt.
00:54:46Do you have the receipt?
00:54:47Indeed I do.
00:54:49It has the Lumiere Altier logo on it.
00:54:51Do you always carry a receipt around with you?
00:54:53What, you're just waiting for people to question the authenticity of your dress?
00:54:57Besides,
00:54:58La Miere Atelier switched to paperless two years ago.
00:55:02It says 2022.
00:55:03What? I can't wear a dress I bought a while ago?
00:55:09Look, Vivian.
00:55:10This is a royal event after all, so I don't want to make things ugly.
00:55:13Even for you.
00:55:15When I bought the dress, I had the designer embroider Lena's name on the hem.
00:55:19So, if you're still insisting that this dress is yours,
00:55:21I'd be happy to ask your friends to check it out for you.
00:55:24Stop.
00:55:25I can't believe she stole the dress.
00:55:27What happened?
00:55:28They're accusing me of stealing something.
00:55:31Wait.
00:55:32She did.
00:55:33Vince?
00:55:36My sincere apologies, miss.
00:55:39How about I purchase this dress and we'll call it a day?
00:55:43Well, I'm afraid that won't be possible.
00:55:45You are putting me on the spot here.
00:55:47Indeed, I am.
00:55:49What if we both take a step back?
00:55:51I'm willing to pay double for this dress.
00:55:54And I will owe you one.
00:55:56How's that?
00:55:58Mr. Vincent.
00:56:00You overestimate your importance.
00:56:02Your offers mean nothing to me.
00:56:07You...
00:56:09Shut up!
00:56:13You embarrass me enough.
00:56:16Apologize.
00:56:18Now.
00:56:21I'm sorry.
00:56:22I couldn't hear you.
00:56:25I'm sorry.
00:56:26For the dress.
00:56:27Not to me.
00:56:28Vivian.
00:56:33I'm sorry, you know.
00:56:34It's okay.
00:56:36Is that it?
00:56:37What about all those insults?
00:56:39That's not a part of the...
00:56:45I'm sorry for everything.
00:56:51Are we good now?
00:56:53You mentioned doing me a favor.
00:56:55I did.
00:56:56What do you have in mind?
00:56:58Tell me about your palace connections.
00:57:00I can do that.
00:57:01I'm not here.
00:57:02If you'd follow me.
00:57:04Wait, wait.
00:57:05Eva, you can't go with him.
00:57:06It's okay.
00:57:07Don't worry.
00:57:08I'll be right back.
00:57:09No, no.
00:57:10Okay, Ethan.
00:57:11Go find Sebastian now.
00:57:15After you.
00:57:19Don't let anyone in.
00:57:21Yes, sir.
00:57:24No.
00:57:30So can you tell me about your connections in the palace?
00:57:35What's the rush?
00:57:37May I offer you a drink first?
00:57:41You think I might poison you?
00:57:42There's a whole party outside.
00:57:44I'm not stupid.
00:57:46So can you tell me about your connections in the palace?
00:57:52So can you tell me about your connections in the palace?
00:57:57I'm not stupid.
00:58:00But it looks like you are.
00:58:02You bastard.
00:58:06Ethan, hey.
00:58:07What's wrong?
00:58:08It's Eva.
00:58:09She went with Vincent.
00:58:10Where?
00:58:11They went that way.
00:58:13You bastard.
00:58:15Do you not know who I am?
00:58:17You're a bitch.
00:58:19I will ruin you.
00:58:22Get the fuck away from me.
00:58:25Sebastian.
00:58:26Hey, you okay?
00:58:27What happened?
00:58:28Just get me out of here, okay?
00:58:29Okay.
00:58:35I didn't do anything, I swear.
00:58:46Avalon.
00:58:47Hey.
00:58:49Are you feeling okay?
00:58:50Do you need anything?
00:58:51No.
00:58:52I thought I lost you today.
00:58:55Can you promise me you won't do anything like that ever again?
00:58:58I'm okay.
00:58:59I promise.
00:59:01What if I was late?
00:59:02What if Ethan never found me?
00:59:03What if...
00:59:05So what if, Sebastian?
00:59:09I know you'll always be there for me.
00:59:12I'll never leave your side.
00:59:15Never.
00:59:20I should go.
00:59:22No, Nora.
00:59:24What have you got?
00:59:25Well, I called the police and they said that Vincent and Vivian are still around,
00:59:29so they'll call us when they find them.
00:59:31Good.
00:59:32That's good.
00:59:34Careful.
00:59:37Fucking Stonegate.
00:59:39If I see him again, I'm gonna kill him.
00:59:41I'd like to see you try.
00:59:46Hello, Stonegate.
00:59:47What a surprise.
00:59:49What brings you here?
00:59:53The police are on their way for you both.
00:59:55Look, let's just talk.
00:59:57I didn't know she was your woman.
00:59:59I can apologize.
01:00:00You assaulted the princess.
01:00:02An apology won't cut it.
01:00:04Princess?
01:00:06You told me she was just a maid.
01:00:08I was undercover as a maid to investigate the scandal.
01:00:11And let's just say it was...
01:00:13educational.
01:00:14Ava, you're really the princess.
01:00:17Yeah, I am, but don't worry.
01:00:19Nothing will change.
01:00:20Well, you really should call her your royal highness.
01:00:22Don't listen to him.
01:00:23I'm still just Ava to you, okay?
01:00:29You...
01:00:32allowed workplace bullying,
01:00:34started an internet smear campaign,
01:00:36and tried to defame my family.
01:00:38I hope you're ready for a long stay in prison,
01:00:40because I will personally make sure that you end up there.
01:00:45And you'll be joining him.
01:00:48Sebastian, could you take care of them,
01:00:49and I'll meet you back at the party?
01:00:51It'd be my pleasure.
01:00:56No!
01:00:59Look, we've been running this investigation for a year,
01:01:01and I just...
01:01:03I really didn't see any other way of uncovering the truth.
01:01:05I am...
01:01:07so sorry for keeping you in the dark.
01:01:09Your royal highness, I...
01:01:10No, I'm still Ava.
01:01:13Ava.
01:01:14You don't have to apologize to me.
01:01:16I'm just...
01:01:18I'm so grateful for everything you've done for me.
01:01:20You know what?
01:01:22Let's go to the party.
01:01:23I think we've earned it.
01:01:25Okay.
01:01:28Mama!
01:01:33Your majesty.
01:01:35Your majesty.
01:01:36Your majesty.
01:01:38You must be me.
01:01:40Aveline told me so much about you.
01:01:43Walk with me, dear,
01:01:44and you must tell me how Aveline pulled off being a housemaid.
01:01:48She never even picked up after we slept as a child.
01:01:52Shall we, your royal highness?
01:01:54I do love it when you call me that.
