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