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