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