TVTranscript
00:00:00Tonight, I become father's only daughter on paper.
00:00:06Where's your glass, Odette?
00:00:07To the future debtress.
00:00:15Something is wrong.
00:00:17That drink tasted strange.
00:00:18Look, her servant lover is running away.
00:00:23I don't know him.
00:00:25Keep that glass.
00:00:26The Duke's daughter with a servant.
00:00:28Here?
00:00:30Father, don't let them turn a stranger into proof.
00:00:34Your disgrace has already spread through the palace.
00:00:36Then examine the drink before you condemn me.
00:00:39I will not drag our name through another scandal.
00:00:41You would rather lose your daughter than lose face.
00:00:45Your title and inheritance are revoked. Leave.
00:00:48You haven't heard one word of my defense.
00:00:51You lost your place. I intend to keep it.
00:00:55A stolen name doesn't make you his daughter.
00:00:58Three years following your money.
00:01:01One record still missing.
00:01:03Come downstairs. We still have a shop to save.
00:01:07And I finally know whose signature I need.
00:01:12Three months without a decent order. We need money.
00:01:14I know. We sell the flowers, not ourselves.
00:01:19Then perhaps you should welcome a paying customer.
00:01:22Customers don't break our door. Pay for that first.
00:01:24Make a bouquet with these for the royal court.
00:01:27Flowers around coins? Whose favor are you buying?
00:01:30The sort of favor that keeps records forgotten.
00:01:34Find someone else. I won't hide a bribe.
00:01:37That coin feeds you both for a month.
00:01:39We heard her. Take your order somewhere else.
00:01:44A starving flower girl thinks she can judge me?
00:01:47I can decide what happens in my shop.
00:01:49Smash it. Let her principals pay the rent.
00:01:51You want obedience? You won't get it here.
00:01:53Enough.
00:01:54You will pay for what you broke.
00:01:56I didn't realize this shop had royal protection.
00:01:58It shouldn't need any. Take him out.
00:02:01The flower survived. So did we.
00:02:04You saw everything.
00:02:06Why stop for strangers?
00:02:08Because you refused him before you knew I was watching.
00:02:13A pretty florist shouldn't be out here alone.
00:02:15Then move. You're the reason I can't leave.
00:02:18She told you to move. You heard her.
00:02:20A servant dares touch a noble?
00:02:22Guards!
00:02:22Your Highness, take him.
00:02:24Leave the woman out of this.
00:02:30You risked your place for someone you don't know.
00:02:32You were already fighting.
00:02:34I just evened the odds.
00:02:37A florist and a royal servant.
00:02:39You will marry tonight.
00:02:40You saved my shop.
00:02:42That doesn't buy my life.
00:02:43Refuse.
00:02:44And Bridget's shop will not open tomorrow.
00:02:47And you will stand there while she threatens my friend?
00:02:49The shop stays open.
00:02:50That must be part of it.
00:02:52Sign, and neither of you will be punished.
00:02:56For Bridget.
00:02:57Do not mistake this for gratitude.
00:02:59Alaric, will you enter this marriage?
00:03:02I will.
00:03:03But she owes me nothing tonight.
00:03:05I have signed.
00:03:06Now keep your promise about the shop.
00:03:08The marriage is recorded.
00:03:09This copy is yours.
00:03:11A signature doesn't make you someone I can trust.
00:03:15Welcome to our palace.
00:03:17Still glad you signed?
00:03:21Leave this door unlocked.
00:03:22That's my first condition.
00:03:23You can come and go.
00:03:25I won't stop you.
00:03:25Then help.
00:03:26Mocking the room won't clean it.
00:03:28Those hands don't look used to palace floors.
00:03:31Three years of work changed that.
00:03:32Take the other side.
00:03:34You think weeds can make this a home?
00:03:36I think we can choose how we live inside it.
00:03:39What if I owe gambling debts more than we can pay?
00:03:42Are those debts real?
00:03:44Don't make me guess.
00:03:45Ugly men could come collecting.
00:03:47You'd be tied to me.
00:03:48Your debts are yours.
00:03:49My earnings keep my shop alive.
00:03:51But you wouldn't leave just because I was poor.
00:03:53Poverty isn't a betrayal.
00:03:55Lying is.
00:03:56Remember the difference.
00:03:57You take the bed.
00:03:58I'll sleep down here.
00:03:59And don't ask me to be grateful for that.
00:04:03Don't take it.
00:04:04That's my notary record.
00:04:05Celiste, you're in the room.
00:04:06The door is closed.
00:04:10A dream.
00:04:11Please don't ask me about it.
00:04:12A notary record.
00:04:14What could make her fear losing paper?
00:04:18You called for a record last night.
00:04:20Can I help?
00:04:22When I want help, I will ask.
00:04:24Not before.
00:04:25All right.
00:04:26I'll be working late today.
00:04:28Then leave enough strength to eat when you return.
00:04:33Your Highness, why are you doing this to yourself?
00:04:35No titles here.
00:04:36I need to know what she sees.
00:04:38She'll think you've been hurt at work.
00:04:41Let her see a man with nothing to offer.
00:04:43Sit down.
00:04:45Are you hurt or just exhausted?
00:04:46I smell terrible.
00:04:48You don't have to come near.
00:04:49Then wash.
00:04:50A bad day isn't a character flaw.
00:04:53You gave me most of it.
00:04:54What will you eat?
00:04:55I ate at the shop.
00:04:56You need it tonight.
00:04:58Then keep me company.
00:05:00I won't eat alone.
00:05:01A starving husband can't work tomorrow.
00:05:03Neither can I.
00:05:04The gambling debts weren't real.
00:05:05I should have said so.
00:05:06Don't invent another disaster just to see what I'll do.
00:05:09I won't test you again.
00:05:11You have my word.
00:05:12Give me that sleeve before the tear gets worse.
00:05:16You shouldn't have to mend what I keep ruining.
00:05:24Do I get my shirt back or have you found another hole?
00:05:29Lift your arm.
00:05:30I want to see whether it holds this time.
00:05:35You're looking at me now.
00:05:37Is the seam that bad?
00:05:40The seam is excellent.
00:05:42Try to deserve it.
00:05:46Nobody has ever stayed awake to do this for me.
00:05:49Then don't tear it tomorrow.
00:05:51I intend to sleep.
00:05:56Your Highness, the palace expects you before dawn.
00:05:59Find the notary behind the Pemberton records.
00:06:01I need to know what she lost.
00:06:04Will she hear what you find from you?
00:06:06When I have something more than a suspicion.
00:06:11Marcus broke more than the door.
00:06:14They lost flowers too.
00:06:19Replace them from my allowance.
00:06:22Deliver the Queen's orders separately.
00:06:27Whose name goes on the payment?
00:06:29Leave mine off.
00:06:31Send the flowers in the morning.
00:06:35Paid in full.
00:06:36No sender.
00:06:37Is this the Queen again?
00:06:39This one is her order.
00:06:40This one doesn't say.
00:06:42Mystery later.
00:06:43We can actually sell these.
00:06:45Then open up.
00:06:48Someone has given us a morning back.
00:06:55Your carriage is blocking our doorway, Lady Alera.
00:07:02So the discarded daughter sells weeds now.
00:07:07Flowers.
00:07:08With prices.
00:07:09You may buy them or pass.
00:07:13Send the bill to whatever servant married you.
00:07:17Move the carriage.
00:07:18You're crushing our stock.
00:07:20No one moves until she is clear of the wheels.
00:07:23Do you intend to lecture me in the street?
00:07:27Your wrist looks irritated.
00:07:29Stop rubbing it with that stem.
00:07:31Your filthy flowers did this to me.
00:07:34I saw it before you touched ours.
00:07:36Ask your physician.
00:07:37I arrange flowers for the royal household.
00:07:42Then you know those were reserved for the palace.
00:07:49A piece of paper proves nothing about your place.
00:07:52A piece of paper proves nothing about your place.
00:07:52It proves what was ordered and what you destroyed.
00:07:55Clear this mess.
00:07:57I will not be detained by shop girls.
00:07:59The flowers stay here until someone records the damage.
00:08:03You would summon the palace against me.
00:08:07I would ask them to read their own order.
00:08:13These women insulted me.
00:08:15Remove them before this crowd grows.
00:08:17Take a look at what she wants removed first.
00:08:22Did she tell you to drive through these flowers?
00:08:27She told me to clear the doorway, sir.
00:08:29You would take his word against my family's.
00:08:31Your family wasn't under the wheels.
00:08:33Our morning's work was.
00:08:35You will pay for the damaged stock.
00:08:37All of it.
00:08:38The amount is here.
00:08:40We have a charge for the show.
00:08:42Take it, then.
00:08:44You've made quite enough a few flowers.
00:08:48On the counter.
00:08:49You know where it is.
00:08:51Thank you for waiting.
00:08:53The fresh ones are inside.
00:08:55I will speak to the Queen about your treatment of me.
00:08:57Your court access is suspended pending her review.
00:09:03Over a flower stall?
00:09:05You cannot take my title.
00:09:07Keep the title.
00:09:08The palace doors stay closed.
00:09:10What colour ribbon would you like?
00:09:12We hadn't sent anyone.
00:09:13How did he arrive so quickly?
00:09:15My husband may know.
00:09:16Tonight, I'll ask him.
00:09:21Did you know the guard would come to our shop?
00:09:25I heard there had been trouble in the street.
00:09:28That wasn't my question.
00:09:30Who bought these flowers?
00:09:32Someone who did not want you losing your livelihood.
00:09:34If you know more, stop answering around the edges.
00:09:37Come to the yard tomorrow.
00:09:38You'll see where I work.
00:09:39I will.
00:09:40Keep the answer until then.
00:09:42Those steps are still dirty.
00:09:44Start again.
00:09:45I'll finish them before the next delivery.
00:09:49He washed those steps.
00:09:51You put the dirt back.
00:09:54Take your flowers and leave.
00:09:55He's not finished.
00:09:59Shh.
00:10:00Hold still.
00:10:01I've only just mended this.
00:10:03Enough.
00:10:03Leave the bucket.
00:10:06Does he always jump when a servant says enough?
00:10:10We've worked together for years.
00:10:11He knows when to stop.
00:10:13You brought me here for an answer.
00:10:15I'm still waiting.
00:10:16Celeste, I didn't want you dragged into this.
00:10:18Then tell me what this is.
00:10:20After my delivery.
00:10:30One delivery.
00:10:31Don't make me come looking for you.
00:10:35I'll be back before these wilt.
00:10:41Keep those lilies away from my dress.
00:10:45The Queen requested this arrangement for the reception.
00:10:50I need the Pemberton lineage file before that reception.
00:10:53The copies are in the third floor archive.
00:10:54I cannot hand them to you here.
00:11:01Who has been asking to see them?
00:11:04Nobody this week.
00:11:06Your request still needs approval.
00:11:11Finish that somewhere else.
00:11:13This is a private conversation.
00:11:16Then let me make room for you, my lady.
00:11:20You can make room without an opinion.
00:11:24The delivery book is by the service stairs.
00:11:26Bring your slip.
00:11:26Your signature, please.
00:11:27Then I'll be out of your way.
00:11:29Send the answer to my estate.
00:11:30Not to this room.
00:11:32You heard her.
00:11:33Visitors are arriving.
00:11:34Use the service gate.
00:11:36Those stairs lead to the galleries?
00:11:38The galleries.
00:11:38Not the archive corridor.
00:11:40That is restricted.
00:11:42Three floors above me.
00:11:44The record she cannot leave alone.
00:11:54Deliveries lead by the lower stairs.
00:11:55Show me your pass.
00:11:58The steward sent me to collect the empty vases.
00:12:04Only those in the gallery.
00:12:05Nothing beyond that rope.
00:12:11Will this corridor close before I finish?
00:12:17At the bell.
00:12:18Be downstairs before the watch changes.
00:12:22You counted the guards, not the vases.
00:12:28I have late pruning at the palace tonight.
00:12:34The gardens are usually locked after dark.
00:12:41The steward can let me through the service gate.
00:12:44If this is about the records, you can tell me.
00:12:47I need something I can hold.
00:12:49Not another man's promise.
00:12:54That doesn't mean you have to go alone.
00:13:00It means I choose who risks a cell with me.
00:13:07The archive lock was checked at the last bell.
00:13:11I'll check it again before the next circuit.
00:13:15Three minutes to the door.
00:13:17Three minutes to the door.
00:13:17No second chance inside.
00:13:21One turn too loud, and the door becomes my cell.
00:13:24Extra rounds tonight.
00:13:26Check every restricted door.
00:13:27Someone has been moving through the flower gallery.
00:13:29Leave the door.
00:13:30Look this way.
00:13:33Who's there?
00:13:34Show your hands.
00:13:34I caught the stand with the empty basket.
00:13:37Stay there.
00:13:38Let me see what you were carrying.
00:13:42He bought me seconds.
00:13:44I have to make them count.
00:13:45Pembelton.
00:13:46The copy they tried to erase.
00:13:48The basket is empty.
00:13:50Take the broken pieces downstairs.
00:13:54Not enough to clear me.
00:13:55Enough to tell me where to look.
00:13:59Stop.
00:14:00This lock was scratched after the last round.
00:14:03The door won't open.
00:14:05Call the watch commander.
00:14:06The window reaches the roof.
00:14:07The roof reaches the yard.
00:14:08Cover the stairs.
00:14:09Nobody leaves this floor unchecked.
00:14:11Keep the pages dry.
00:14:12Keep both hands free.
00:14:20The pipe first.
00:14:22Then the ledge below it.
00:14:24Left foot.
00:14:25The stone on your right is loose.
00:14:29How did you know I would come out here?
00:14:32It's the only window above a lower roof.
00:14:34Move slowly.
00:14:39Don't pull me.
00:14:40Let me find the beam.
00:14:44I've got your hand.
00:14:45Bend your knees onto the roof.
00:14:51Check the service yard before you close the gate.
00:14:56Stay beside me.
00:14:57Walk toward the empty carts.
00:15:01I can walk.
00:15:03Stop looking as if I'm about to fall.
00:15:06You again?
00:15:07Is all the broken pottery cleared?
00:15:10Your man checked the basket upstairs.
00:15:11We're leaving now.
00:15:15The steward signed for the flowers this afternoon.
00:15:22Straight out.
00:15:23The gate closes behind you.
00:15:28You can tell me what was worth that climb.
00:15:34A copy of a lie that took three years from me.
00:15:42Then we read it before anyone takes another night.
00:15:48Marcus.
00:15:49His payment books were kept at this warehouse.
00:15:55You climbed the palace for this.
00:15:57I couldn't leave the last readable pages in their hands.
00:15:59And if you had fallen, would this scrap have brought you back?
00:16:06Alaric helped me down.
00:16:09I didn't do it alone.
00:16:15Then someone finally knows what you were doing at night.
00:16:20He knows Marcus and the false record.
00:16:23I still need the original.
00:16:26Then before the next roof, you tell me the next step.
00:16:31The Pemberton file was damaged.
00:16:33I have no original yet.
00:16:36Then call it damaged.
00:16:39Do not call a suspicion proof.
00:16:43A toast, your highness.
00:16:46To a happier alliance.
00:16:49Why must it be that particular glass?
00:16:51I chose it for you.
00:16:53A small personal courtesy.
00:16:59Something in it smells different from the bottle.
00:17:02The spices settle.
00:17:04Please don't embarrass me over a toast.
00:17:07Then exchange glasses with me, Lady Odette.
00:17:14There is no need to turn courtesy into an insult.
00:17:20You asked me to drink what you refuse yourself.
00:17:28Set those aside.
00:17:30No one drinks from that tray.
00:17:31Your highness, I only wanted a private moment.
00:17:36You do not obtain privacy by deciding what goes into my body.
00:17:44The duke's family has been discussed as a suitable match.
00:17:51I will not marry her.
00:17:54That discussion ends here.
00:17:58I am the duke's only lawful heir.
00:18:07A title is not an answer to what happened at this table.
00:18:13You will leave tonight.
00:18:15Further invitations are withdrawn.
00:18:21You will regret believing rumours about my family.
00:18:26We have heard your words.
00:18:28Now respect the door.
00:18:31A flower worker asked about the upper stairs yesterday.
00:18:36A worker asked.
00:18:38And you only tell me now?
00:18:41I saw her near the gallery.
00:18:43I didn't see inside the archive.
00:18:47Find her face and where she goes after work.
00:18:54You were asking Marcus to bring his own payment book?
00:19:00He'll come if he thinks Odette wants the account corrected.
00:19:04And when he sees you instead of her, I ask him what it costs to tell the truth.
00:19:09If you aren't back before dark, I send for help.
00:19:12Give Aleric this copy.
00:19:14Don't follow me inside.
00:19:16I'm keeping the address because I want you back.
00:19:18So do I.
00:19:20This time, someone will know where I went.
00:19:26Lady Odette suddenly writes like a desperate shop girl.
00:19:29You brought the book.
00:19:31That means the account matters.
00:19:32It means I wanted to see who was stupid enough to ask.
00:19:35Name your price for the original record.
00:19:40You think truth is the most valuable thing in this room?
00:19:43Then why did you need men hiding behind the stairs?
00:19:46Because your sister pays more when you cannot ask again.
00:19:51She went here.
00:19:52She should already have been back.
00:19:55Stay at the shop.
00:19:56Tell the watch to follow that address.
00:19:58The old Riverside warehouse.
00:20:00Bring her home alive.
00:20:09Take her basket.
00:20:11She came here for more than a conversation.
00:20:17You came with the book.
00:20:18Let me see one page.
00:20:21No weapon.
00:20:23Just wire and a pair of pruning shears.
00:20:27She has used less to cause me trouble.
00:20:31Was $30,000 enough to make my name disappear?
00:20:40You followed a rumor all the way into a locked room.
00:20:46Then deny it.
00:20:48Tell me whose money you took.
00:20:52She kept the door open.
00:20:53She kept the door open.
00:20:53Hold her!
00:20:56You don't need to die for his ledger.
00:20:58Let me pass.
00:21:01You won't leave with my secrets again.
00:21:06Take your hand off her coat.
00:21:09Two by the stairs.
00:21:11Another behind those crates.
00:21:15One servant cannot block every door.
00:21:21Celeste, keep the wall behind you.
00:21:22Don't cross the floor.
00:21:25I can hold this side.
00:21:27Watch your right.
00:21:32Kill him if you must.
00:21:34The girl stays here.
00:21:39Drop it.
00:21:40You still have a way out alive.
00:21:42Get behind him.
00:21:43Don't let them reach the door.
00:21:44The weapon is outside.
00:21:45Leave it there.
00:21:47Move to the doorway, Celeste.
00:21:49Keep it open.
00:21:50Come with me.
00:21:51I didn't bring you here to trade places.
00:21:55Stop looking at the girl.
00:21:56Stop him!
00:21:57Stop!
00:22:01You ordered them to kill while you ran for the door.
00:22:04She brought disgrace long before she brought you.
00:22:11Alaric, he wants you angry.
00:22:13Look at me.
00:22:15He thought your life was something he could sell twice.
00:22:17Then let him answer for it.
00:22:19I need him alive.
00:22:20Listen to her.
00:22:21Let me go and we can bargain.
00:22:27Alive is not free.
00:22:29The guards are coming.
00:22:32Stand back.
00:22:33Hands where we can see them.
00:22:37Secure every man in this room.
00:22:39Preserve the bag.
00:22:42Right down where it fell.
00:22:44Nobody gets to replace these pages.
00:22:52Odette.
00:22:5330,000.
00:22:54There it is.
00:22:56A payment doesn't tell you what it paid for.
00:23:01Then you can explain it beside the record you signed.
00:23:08You came for paper.
00:23:10Look what one page has already cost you.
00:23:13I have the page.
00:23:15And you are the one leaving with guards.
00:23:19Take the men who heard him order the attack too.
00:23:22Your account will be taken as well.
00:23:25Why did he straighten when you spoke?
00:23:29We know each other from palace work.
00:23:31Then he knows you better than I do.
00:23:35Keep the book tonight.
00:23:36We've recorded it here.
00:23:38That book won't tell you everything about your sister.
00:23:41Save it for the hearing.
00:23:42You'll have more listeners there.
00:23:45Easy.
00:23:46The stones dip here.
00:23:50Just until we reach the light.
00:23:53The flower worker is Celeste.
00:23:56I know that face.
00:24:05A palace servant doesn't fight three men like that.
00:24:12I worked as a mercenary before I came here.
00:24:17And the captain?
00:24:18Did he serve with you too?
00:24:20He knows I can handle myself.
00:24:22That's all I can say tonight.
00:24:24That's not all I asked.
00:24:28It is where we'll stop tonight.
00:24:38You kept Marcus alive when I stopped thinking clearly.
00:24:42I need a living answer.
00:24:44Not a killing they can blame on me.
00:24:48You were right.
00:24:49I should have released him sooner.
00:24:55You came because Brigitte knew where I was?
00:25:00She kept your copy.
00:25:02She sent the watch behind me.
00:25:04And tomorrow I thank her too.
00:25:07Tonight, stay here.
00:25:12I'll take the floor.
00:25:13You can sleep without watching the door.
00:25:16It was Celeste.
00:25:17She left the warehouse with a ledger.
00:25:22Did you read it or merely see a book?
00:25:25I saw the open pages through the doorway.
00:25:27Not the entries.
00:25:31Then find men who can stop her opening it again.
00:25:40To keeping the book.
00:25:41And keeping ourselves alive.
00:25:45And to Brigitte.
00:25:46She'd never forgive either of us otherwise.
00:25:52She believed me when my father would not even look at me.
00:25:56What did he refuse to see?
00:26:00I was drugged.
00:26:01A man ran.
00:26:02They called that proof.
00:26:05And your father listened to them?
00:26:08He asked whether I was sorry for embarrassing him.
00:26:10I wasn't.
00:26:12Good.
00:26:13Don't give him that too.
00:26:16The money.
00:26:17The broken copy.
00:26:18One original still missing.
00:26:21We'll find it.
00:26:23Tonight I can hardly look at the pages.
00:26:25No.
00:26:25You've been staring very hard at something.
00:26:30I thought I was being subtle.
00:26:39You're a terrible servant.
00:26:40You haven't listened to half a word.
00:26:42I heard you.
00:26:43I just wanted you closer.
00:26:50Tomorrow.
00:26:50Try looking at me before the books come out.
00:26:52Tomorrow.
00:26:53I'll be watching the door for you.
00:26:59Paid for?
00:27:00In your name.
00:27:01I hope you're better at growing than I am at lifting.
00:27:09All this space.
00:27:11Who paid for it?
00:27:12You said there wasn't room for another pot at the shop.
00:27:14I said that to you.
00:27:17The queen has been looking after the shop.
00:27:19I'll bring the stock.
00:27:20Try not to fill every corner before I return.
00:27:22I'll ask the steward.
00:27:24Until then you can help with the empty beds.
00:27:27You're already giving orders.
00:27:29I should have expected that.
00:27:30Roses in the sun.
00:27:32Lily of the valley by that shaded wall.
00:27:34Not roses outside your own window.
00:27:36I had you trom.
00:27:37Lily of a valley.
00:27:38Small things can fill a whole room.
00:27:41Then I had better remember that.
00:27:45The other arm.
00:27:46You can't charm a bruise into healing.
00:27:50Is it working on anything else?
00:27:55Perhaps.
00:27:56Until you drop another question at my feet.
00:28:00Celeste.
00:28:01Let me explain where that came from.
00:28:10That crest belongs to the royal household.
00:28:14I kept it after an old military assignment.
00:28:17A crest.
00:28:18A captain.
00:28:20And a greenhouse nobody will name.
00:28:22Mercenaries come home with stranger things than embroidery.
00:28:25You make every question sound foolish before you answer it.
00:28:30That isn't how I meant it.
00:28:32Celeste.
00:28:32Don't.
00:28:35You haven't answered me.
00:28:40There are things from before we met.
00:28:42I haven't told you.
00:28:43Start here.
00:28:44Who paid for this room?
00:28:46I paid the rent.
00:28:48Not the queen.
00:28:50I wanted you to have this.
00:28:55You let me think it was hers.
00:28:57You stood right there.
00:29:02I liked being the man you came home to.
00:29:05I wanted to keep him.
00:29:09I liked him too.
00:29:11Now I have to wonder who he is.
00:29:16Will you come home tonight?
00:29:20I'm going to Brigitte.
00:29:22Don't come with another half answer.
00:29:25I wanted you to stay.
00:29:29The flower worker.
00:29:31Not the servant who follows her.
00:29:37She's been invited to arrange the queen's banquet flowers.
00:29:44Then use the service entrance while everyone watches the crown.
00:29:50The hired man needs a face and a root.
00:29:53Nothing more.
00:29:56Celeste.
00:29:57She works beside the other shopkeeper.
00:30:00The rest comes when she cannot speak against you.
00:30:02I understand the condition.
00:30:05Of course.
00:30:08They want your arrangements displayed before the whole court.
00:30:13They want the flowers.
00:30:14I'll make them worth looking at.
00:30:16And your husband.
00:30:18Are you speaking to him yet?
00:30:23We have things to finish.
00:30:25This job is not his apology.
00:30:29Then we go together.
00:30:30And we leave together.
00:30:31You take the accounts.
00:30:33I will take the difficult flowers.
00:30:34Only the listed workers beyond this point.
00:30:37Two names.
00:30:38Two baskets.
00:30:39Both return with us.
00:30:43Keep the cart moving.
00:30:44I'll take the lower passage.
00:30:47Leave that aisle clear.
00:30:48Guests must be able to get out.
00:30:55Who chose living branches instead of another gilded arch?
00:31:00I did.
00:31:01The flowers needed air and so did the room.
00:31:04Those were ordinary kitchen jars this morning.
00:31:06Their shape held the stems.
00:31:08The gold would have hidden them.
00:31:16The court needs someone who sees what others overlooked.
00:31:19She designed every arrangement.
00:31:21We brought what she asked for.
00:31:22I threatened your friend's shop to make you marry.
00:31:25That was wrong.
00:31:26Will you say that if I refuse another royal wish?
00:31:29Your work is being offered a post, not another command.
00:31:32My shop remains mine.
00:31:34I choose whom I work with.
00:31:36Agreed.
00:31:37Chief florist, if you choose to accept.
00:31:42I accept the work.
00:31:43The rest still needs time.
00:31:48You made them look at what you built.
00:31:53Then look at that too.
00:31:54We will talk after the guests leave.
00:31:59Celeste, step this way.
00:32:00Someone is pushing through.
00:32:04A message for the new florist.
00:32:07Privately.
00:32:14Leave the message with the steward.
00:32:16Stay where you are.
00:32:20Someone expects an answer tonight.
00:32:25Pradeet, move back.
00:32:26His hand is under the cloth.
00:32:31Get behind the pillar.
00:32:32Now.
00:32:32Move, servant.
00:32:33This is not your business.
00:32:40The guards are here.
00:32:41You cannot get through everyone.
00:32:47Stay behind me.
00:32:48Keep your hands away from the blade.
00:32:52Clear the aisle.
00:32:53Let the guards reach him.
00:32:59Drop the knife on your knees.
00:33:05Sit down.
00:33:06You don't have to stand for me.
00:33:09Did it reach you?
00:33:11Show me your hands.
00:33:16I'm unhurt.
00:33:17We need the physician here.
00:33:21Make room.
00:33:22He must be treated now.
00:33:27Keep him still.
00:33:28I need his coat opened.
00:33:32Tell me where to hold.
00:33:33I can help without moving him.
00:33:38Secure the prisoner.
00:33:39No one leaves with that knife.
00:33:43He is stable.
00:33:44Keep him still while I finish the dressing.
00:33:51That is the same crest from the greenhouse.
00:33:57Celeste.
00:33:57Celeste.
00:33:58Listen to me before anyone speaks for me.
00:34:01Then tell him to stand.
00:34:02Why is he kneeling?
00:34:04I serve his highness.
00:34:06The crown prince.
00:34:09The prince.
00:34:11Not a soldier who kept a crest.
00:34:16Alaric is my grandson.
00:34:18I arranged the marriage knowing that.
00:34:22You all watched me count coins while he played at needing them.
00:34:27I let you believe a life I had made up.
00:34:29This part was mine.
00:34:31Was anything else real?
00:34:37What I felt was real.
00:34:40What I told you was not enough.
00:34:45You promised no more tests.
00:34:47You kept the largest one.
00:34:49You can speak lying down.
00:34:51You cannot follow her yet.
00:34:53No one is to keep her in this room.
00:34:54I will stay long enough to hear what else you hid.
00:34:58Then he answers you.
00:34:59The rest of us listen.
00:35:08Were the flowers another test or was the debt enough?
00:35:13The debt was a test.
00:35:15The flowers were mine to replace.
00:35:19I went hungry because you wanted to learn what hunger made me.
00:35:25I saw it.
00:35:27I still waited for you to prove something.
00:35:31He put himself between you and the knife.
00:35:33I thanked the man who saved me.
00:35:35That doesn't erase the husband who lied.
00:35:37She is right.
00:35:38Don't use the wound to answer for me.
00:35:45Was I ever free to leave your little house?
00:35:50I left the door open and kept my name from you.
00:35:56Then don't tell me I chose all of this.
00:36:04You may leave the palace.
00:36:05Your shop and wages remain yours.
00:36:09And the case?
00:36:11How much did you know about Marcus?
00:36:14I ordered inquiries after we married.
00:36:16I still have no original.
00:36:23You knew about that inquiry while I was climbing windows.
00:36:26I knew the inquiry.
00:36:27I did not know your plan that night.
00:36:31Then keep the door open.
00:36:33I want every answer in this room.
00:36:38Odette is detained over the ledger.
00:36:40The attacker named an intermediary we're still looking for.
00:36:43Let me see her.
00:36:47Celeste, she will try to...
00:36:48Tell me another lie.
00:36:50I've heard plenty tonight.
00:36:52Let her through.
00:36:53Bring Brigitte to the outer room.
00:37:00There you are.
00:37:02Still clutching their little prize.
00:37:05You should be watching the men holding your arms.
00:37:07Right!
00:37:09Your Highness.
00:37:10She has a document about the old accusation.
00:37:13Your Highness.
00:37:16That is the servant she married.
00:37:18Yes.
00:37:19We have both learned something tonight.
00:37:22Then ask your husband which name he used at Father's Ball.
00:37:26Show me what you brought.
00:37:27You've changed stories before.
00:37:29A name he will recognize.
00:37:31Watch his face when he sees it.
00:37:32Put it where Celeste can read it.
00:37:33Look at me when I read it, Alaric.
00:37:37This time, you answer before she does.
00:37:43The servant's name was Lucien.
00:37:45Read it aloud.
00:37:51This is a statement, not the original lineage record.
00:37:54It is the man's name you begged Father to investigate.
00:37:58I used that name when I traveled outside the court.
00:38:04Used it when?
00:38:05At that ball or somewhere else?
00:38:07A prince in servant's clothes.
00:38:08It was always right in front of you.
00:38:11I asked him.
00:38:12You do not get to finish my questions.
00:38:15I was not the man who fled that fountain.
00:38:20Did you know someone had used your name against me?
00:38:26After we married, I learned the accusation carried that name.
00:38:29And still he let you serve him dinner.
00:38:32She can lie about the past.
00:38:34You must answer for this part.
00:38:39I should have told you before I had every answer.
00:38:41Keep that statement with the other evidence.
00:38:45Stay, and you will only learn how much they own you.
00:38:51Then everyone will hear what I choose next.
00:38:57Did you hide the inquiry to protect me or yourself?
00:39:05Both, I told myself.
00:39:07But you never agreed to either.
00:39:11Would you have told me tonight if your coat hadn't opened?
00:39:18I kept waiting for certainty.
00:39:20I might have kept you ignorant for months.
00:39:22You protected the husband I thought I had.
00:39:27I protected the disguise.
00:39:29I was afraid you would leave.
00:39:31He admits it.
00:39:32There is your answer.
00:39:33He admitted hiding a name.
00:39:35You haven't proved who ran.
00:39:37The statement will be questioned with Marcus present.
00:39:40You will come back for the truth you cannot buy.
00:39:43I will come for an answer if I choose.
00:39:45Not at your price.
00:39:51Is there anything I can do tonight that helps you?
00:39:54Let me leave without making your pain my responsibility.
00:40:00No one follows her unless she requests protection.
00:40:04I am leaving you tonight.
00:40:06I am not abandoning my name.
00:40:11A royal marriage is not dismissed at a bedroom door.
00:40:16You accepted this house as protection.
00:40:19Remember your status.
00:40:26I accepted a job.
00:40:27I did not sell you the right to keep me.
00:40:33I told her the appointment was a choice.
00:40:39The court will call this another disgrace.
00:40:42Then let it begin with what your family did.
00:40:45Not what I refused.
00:40:47Father, move away from the door.
00:40:48You would weaken your claim for a shopkeeper?
00:40:52My claim is not permission to trap my wife.
00:40:56Argue about the crown after I have gone.
00:40:58I am leaving.
00:41:00The palace gate remains open to her tonight.
00:41:02Your things are at the cottage.
00:41:04I can help you pack.
00:41:05Then we go there first.
00:41:06I want my own coat.
00:41:07Leaving tonight does not settle the marriage record.
00:41:12I know.
00:41:13It settles where I sleep and who decides it.
00:41:18Captain, tell the gate she leaves by choice.
00:41:23The man I married had your face.
00:41:26I never had your truth.
00:41:31You reopen that wound and you lose days, not minutes.
00:41:35She is packing a life I asked her to build.
00:41:38You cannot heal either of you by falling in the corridor.
00:41:40Give her wages directly.
00:41:42No condition about coming back.
00:41:44And I will put my apology in my own words.
00:41:48Keep the pin here.
00:41:50She already returned her answer.
00:41:54If we take everything, I'll have to carry the bed.
00:41:57The paper's first.
00:41:58I've lost enough to her.
00:42:00Do you want me to take that down?
00:42:04He called these weeds.
00:42:06I spent half the morning hiding that knot.
00:42:12I can leave you a minute.
00:42:14Stay.
00:42:18I don't want to rescue it halfway through.
00:42:21Then look at me.
00:42:24Where are we going first?
00:42:29Somewhere nobody is waiting to see if I'll come back.
00:42:31Then leave room for work.
00:42:33We'll need to eat there too.
00:42:37The captain gets these before we go.
00:42:39I'm not leaving her my name.
00:42:46You asked me to take these to the hearing.
00:42:51Three years.
00:42:52They'll fit in one man's hands.
00:42:54They only have them because you wouldn't stop.
00:43:00Those are questions, not findings.
00:43:02Don't use my name to say more than I know.
00:43:08They'll be used as you authorized.
00:43:10Your copy stays here.
00:43:13And if they ask where I am instead of what Marcus did?
00:43:18I'll put his ledger in front of them.
00:43:20That's what you sent me with.
00:43:24Then take it.
00:43:26I am not going back with it.
00:43:31Do you want to pack that too?
00:43:37The registry can keep its copy.
00:43:40I won't carry mine.
00:43:44Your apron is on top.
00:43:46You can reach it without unpacking.
00:43:49Enough for the road and a small room.
00:43:51I'll earn the rest.
00:43:55I know a place in Perrantz where flowers still matter.
00:44:03Then take me where people ask the price of flowers first.
00:44:09The night card leaves at the east gate.
00:44:11It's open.
00:44:14Tell him I left.
00:44:15Not that someone took me.
00:44:23She left on the night coach.
00:44:25Brigitte went with her.
00:44:27Close the border road.
00:44:28Stop the coach before it crosses.
00:44:30You ordered us to let her leave by choice.
00:44:37I need to speak to her before she is gone.
00:44:40The wound is closed, not healed.
00:44:43Riding can tear it again.
00:44:49Then give me a slower horse.
00:44:51I am going.
00:44:53An escort follows.
00:44:55I will not turn every traveler back.
00:45:01Keep the road clear behind us.
00:45:07A royal order asks this coach to wait.
00:45:10Another royal order said I could leave.
00:45:12We paid for passage, not permission to be kept here.
00:45:17No charge has been made.
00:45:18We were told to wait for him.
00:45:21Then I am not a prisoner.
00:45:23Open the road.
00:45:30Celeste, give me one moment before you go.
00:45:35You took that moment.
00:45:36You did not ask for it.
00:45:39You're right.
00:45:42Captain, call off the hold.
00:45:47Remove the barrier.
00:45:50This coach is free to cross.
00:45:54Every road, Alaric.
00:45:56Not just the one I can see.
00:45:59Every hold concerning her is withdrawn.
00:46:02Send it now.
00:46:04I am here.
00:46:05We leave when you are ready.
00:46:09Now you can ask.
00:46:11I can still say no.
00:46:16Will you hear me once I have the original record?
00:46:23Send the truth if you find it.
00:46:26Do not attach yourself to it.
00:46:30I owe you that whether you ever speak to me again.
00:46:34Go back to the physician.
00:46:35I will not watch you fall to make me stay.
00:46:38Help me back to the horse.
00:46:39Slowly.
00:46:39Your bag is beside mine.
00:46:41There is room.
00:46:44Do not follow the coach.
00:46:45That is the answer for today.
00:46:47No one follows.
00:46:47Record that she crossed freely.
00:46:50Brickishet, tell me about that room in Prevince.
00:46:52Small windows.
00:46:53A work table.
00:46:54Enough space to begin.
00:46:55Take me home.
00:46:56Then bring me the files she entrusted to us.
00:47:02One month paid.
00:47:04After that, the shop must earn its keep.
00:47:10Flowers first.
00:47:11Perfume when we can afford the bottles.
00:47:14You brought the book with no names written ahead of us.
00:47:19Then the first name is ours and the first debt is rent.
00:47:25Too strong or just different from the palace?
00:47:31Too strong.
00:47:34Starting again doesn't make me suddenly perfect.
00:47:38Good.
00:47:39I would hate to work with someone impossible to correct.
00:47:44Then keep the door open.
00:47:46We need our first customer.
00:47:49The court needs this scandal to stop spreading.
00:47:55Then give it an ending people can examine.
00:47:58Settle the family's business quietly.
00:48:01Protect the succession.
00:48:03I use the succession to hide from my wife.
00:48:05It cannot hide me again.
00:48:10You are injured.
00:48:12Other men can conduct the inquiry.
00:48:14Let them collect the facts.
00:48:15I will answer for my own part.
00:48:20A public hearing may shame this house as well.
00:48:23Then this house will finally share the costs.
00:48:30Her papers are secured.
00:48:31Marcus and the attacker are in custody.
00:48:34She made time for this while I was inventing work to keep from her.
00:48:38We still need the intermediary and the original entry.
00:48:41Find them.
00:48:41Search the estate records concerning her removal and Odette's claim.
00:48:46You heard me yesterday.
00:48:48This family can be dealt with quietly.
00:48:50She was disgraced in public.
00:48:53Quietly is how they kept her there.
00:48:55And when they ask why the prince was dressed as a servant?
00:48:57I'll answer.
00:48:58You won't need to invent anything for me.
00:49:00They may laugh at you in the room where you'll one day rule.
00:49:06I let her count coins for my dinner.
00:49:08I can survive their laughter.
00:49:10And if she never comes back to hear you...
00:49:15Then the truth reaches her without me.
00:49:19You are putting more than her father on trial.
00:49:21I know.
00:49:22Leave my name where they can see it.
00:49:26I'll begin at the estate.
00:49:28Bring back what she has been waiting for.
00:49:30Not what would spare me.
00:49:36You cannot turn my house over on a discarded daughter's complaint.
00:49:40Your signature.
00:49:41Her removal.
00:49:42Those are the papers I'm taking.
00:49:45I had the right to decide who bore my name.
00:49:49Then why won't you let anyone read what you signed?
00:49:54This stayed in my family.
00:49:56It was never meant for the court.
00:49:59They read your daughter's disgrace aloud.
00:50:02They'll hear your part too.
00:50:06Odette brought the record.
00:50:07I trusted what I was given.
00:50:09Tell her that at the hearing.
00:50:10She will be there.
00:50:15My father will not allow me to be kept here.
00:50:17Your father has been summoned too.
00:50:19He isn't coming to take you home.
00:50:22Then the man who brings my messages.
00:50:24Has he come?
00:50:27No one has come for you.
00:50:30Carry one message.
00:50:32My people will make it worth your while.
00:50:34Save it for someone you can still command.
00:50:38Then send for Marcus.
00:50:40He knows what to say.
00:50:41You'll see him when the whole court can hear you.
00:50:56The Intermediary is in custody.
00:50:58The attacker identified him.
00:51:05He changed the amount.
00:51:07They named the same route and target.
00:51:09He'll explain that change in front of the attacker.
00:51:11The court will use every doubt to make this a royal scandal.
00:51:15It already is.
00:51:16You stood in her doorway.
00:51:18I was trying to stop a marriage collapsing before the servants.
00:51:23You asked her to stay inside a lie so nobody would see the door open.
00:51:28Sit down.
00:51:29I can hear you from there.
00:51:31I sounded like her father.
00:51:33She heard both of you.
00:51:34Let everyone else hear what you say now.
00:51:39The public hearing is set for three days from now.
00:51:44Publish it today.
00:51:45The witnesses will speak before the court.
00:51:47The physician decides how long I can attend.
00:51:50I will answer for what I saw.
00:51:52She's waited long enough for us to stop protecting ourselves.
00:51:55Then send the notice.
00:51:56Ask nothing from her.
00:52:01The lighter one.
00:52:02It smells like the window after rain.
00:52:07Keep it away from the sun.
00:52:09Come back if it changes.
00:52:14Our first bottle paid for tomorrow's flowers.
00:52:22Then tomorrow has already earned a place here.
00:52:29The hearing is today.
00:52:31Your name is printed in full.
00:52:38Does it ask me to come back?
00:52:42No.
00:52:43It names you and your records.
00:52:45You don't have to be there.
00:52:50I'd like to see Marcus try to talk around that book.
00:52:57I'd like to charge him for every hour you spent on it.
00:53:05For once he has to answer while I get on with my day.
00:53:10If you do go, I can finish these.
00:53:12Just tell me before you vanish.
00:53:16Today I stay.
00:53:17We have six orders to finish.
00:53:20Five if you keep looking at that page.
00:53:26Tell me the moment the next report comes.
00:53:29I want to know.
00:53:34You'll hear me from the street.
00:53:36Now hold this end.
00:53:40Then we work while they answer.
00:53:44We will hear the forgery and the attempted killing.
00:53:47Bring the records forward.
00:53:49My family should have been allowed to settle its own disgrace.
00:53:51Your daughter asked you to investigate.
00:53:54You signed this instead.
00:53:55She brought a notarized account.
00:53:57I believed it.
00:53:58You praised me.
00:53:59You said I had saved your name.
00:54:01I praised loyalty.
00:54:02I was not told I was buying a lie.
00:54:04And he built this hearing to buy his wife back.
00:54:07She is in Perron's.
00:54:09She has promised me nothing.
00:54:10These are the records she gathered and authorized us to use.
00:54:14Will your father let anyone ask what you did to her?
00:54:19Yes.
00:54:20His statements will be questioned here too.
00:54:26I want my cooperation recorded before I speak.
00:54:30Your answers will be recorded.
00:54:32They do not buy a pardon.
00:54:36Then let's see how much a family secret was worth.
00:54:40That was stolen from your warehouse.
00:54:42You cannot use it.
00:54:46It fell during the attack.
00:54:48We recorded where Celeste recovered it.
00:54:5730,000 from Odette.
00:54:58I wrote the entry myself.
00:55:02For services to the estate.
00:55:04Not for a lie.
00:55:07Name the service.
00:55:08Here.
00:55:09In front of him.
00:55:12The statement about Celeste.
00:55:14And the altered inheritance entry.
00:55:18You were beaten and detained.
00:55:19You will say anything now.
00:55:24I was stopped while my men attacked them.
00:55:26No one dictated this entry.
00:55:31I held him too long.
00:55:33Celeste had made me release him alive.
00:55:36This was written before the fight.
00:55:39Tell us what you saw.
00:55:43A wet dress and a fleeing man.
00:55:46I saw no intimacy.
00:55:48A man fled.
00:55:49He just admitted that.
00:55:53A fleeing man.
00:55:55That was all you had against her?
00:56:00Her father wanted the matter closed before the council finished.
00:56:04I ordered discretion.
00:56:06I did not order forgery.
00:56:09Did you examine the cup your daughter asked you to keep?
00:56:16I believe the shame mattered more than the details.
00:56:22Do not pretend you needed me to teach you that.
00:56:28You brought the papers.
00:56:29You deceived this family.
00:56:33You signed them because you wanted one obedient daughter.
00:56:36I trusted the seal.
00:56:38A father cannot investigate in every whisper.
00:56:40She asked you directly.
00:56:42That was not a whisper.
00:56:47If I had known what I know now, I would have protected her.
00:56:49She asked you to look.
00:56:51You knew that then.
00:56:53And now I am the daughter you throw outside the gate.
00:56:56Celeste is my own daughter.
00:56:58You are nothing to me now.
00:56:59Her origin is not the charge.
00:57:01What each of you did is.
00:57:02Then ask why he liked a record calling me the only heir.
00:57:09It spared the family another public argument.
00:57:11At Celeste's expense.
00:57:14Convenience kept replacing her voice.
00:57:16Your signature and refusal will be considered separately from hers.
00:57:22Then he cannot bargain my punishment away.
00:57:24Nor can he surrender you to erase his own acts.
00:57:29The men from the banquet are ready to answer.
00:57:37He paid me.
00:57:38He gave me the flower worker's root.
00:57:40I paid you to frighten her, not to kill anyone.
00:57:42You gave me that blade and said she must stop speaking.
00:57:47Did Lady Odesse give you an order in person?
00:57:50No.
00:57:51I dealt with him.
00:57:53I knew the target's face.
00:57:55Then there is no witness to an order from me.
00:58:00Why did you first omit his share?
00:58:02Who paid you the whole sum?
00:58:08I kept part.
00:58:10Odette paid me to stop Celeste before the ledger reached court.
00:58:13The rest was only for making sure she could not use it.
00:58:17What rest?
00:58:19You have just described the second payant.
00:58:23I was repeating what these men claim.
00:58:26You withheld it until she could no longer speak against you.
00:58:29Celeste backed away.
00:58:30He followed her with the knife.
00:58:33I was there.
00:58:35And you were waiting to pay the rest?
00:58:37What else have you kept from this room?
00:58:42I can still tell you where the original is hidden.
00:58:48Send me away quietly.
00:58:50Then you can have the missing record.
00:58:52She spent three years paying for your lie.
00:58:54She owes you nothing more.
00:58:56She traced this payment before any royal inquiry began.
00:59:00Three years.
00:59:01And still that little gap.
00:59:02She found the number.
00:59:04You only kept the paper from her.
00:59:08You were paid to make that paper disappear.
00:59:11You kept the original.
00:59:13You wanted something even I couldn't take back.
00:59:17Where is it now?
00:59:18It wasn't among your father's papers.
00:59:21If I tell you, will you ask them to spare me?
00:59:23You tried to kill her.
00:59:25Tell the room what you still hold over her.
00:59:32My bedchamber at the estate.
00:59:35Behind the headboard, low on the right.
00:59:37The backing lifts out.
00:59:39The package is sealed.
00:59:42Finding it won't remove Lucien's name from the accusation?
00:59:45Then ask me about it.
00:59:47You won't buy my silence with my own name.
00:59:49We recess until the document arrives.
00:59:51Detention remains in place.
00:59:59She kept every scrap I thought nobody would read.
01:00:06I changed stepdaughter to sole biological heir.
01:00:09Celeste's name was removed.
01:00:11Her name was here.
01:00:13You paid to take it out.
01:00:15He knew which words the council would believe.
01:00:17You paid for those words.
01:00:20I signed them.
01:00:23Now the ball.
01:00:25Who arranged the man beside the fountain?
01:00:29I hired a servant.
01:00:30He only had to be seen leaving.
01:00:34Why did the statement call him Lucien?
01:00:37I knew you had used that name.
01:00:39It could become useful later.
01:00:42Did Alaric arrange, attend, or pay for that deception?
01:00:47No.
01:00:48The man was hired.
01:00:50The prince's name was borrowed.
01:00:53I did not verify that name.
01:00:55I certified what I was paid to write.
01:00:59And the drink Celeste asked her father to examine?
01:01:03I put powder in it.
01:01:05I needed her confused before he ran.
01:01:09She told me to keep the glass.
01:01:11And you pushed it away.
01:01:14Leave this where everyone can see it.
01:01:16Now clear her name without asking her to return for it.
01:01:28The accusation against Celeste is withdrawn.
01:01:30The removal founded on it is void.
01:01:32Then she returns to my house as my daughter.
01:01:37You sent her away.
01:01:39This gives back what you took, not a command to return.
01:01:46My name was misused in the old case.
01:01:49My deception in our marriage was mine.
01:01:51You deceived her, then sent guards after her?
01:01:58Yes.
01:01:59I ordered them to stop her coach.
01:02:01Put that beside my name.
01:02:06I threatened her friend's shop until she signed.
01:02:09That was my doing.
01:02:12And I blocked the door when she tried to leave.
01:02:14Write that too.
01:02:16Then all of us were misstead by appearances.
01:02:20I knew I was lying to her.
01:02:22Don't use my confession to hide your signature.
01:02:26The council will decide the penalties.
01:02:28Her rights do not wait for them.
01:02:33Send them to my house.
01:02:34I can see that she receives them.
01:02:36Directly to Celeste.
01:02:38At the address she authorizes.
01:02:40Not through you.
01:02:44Brigade can forward this report.
01:02:45Don't ask her for an answer.
01:02:49Her wages go too.
01:02:51The pin stays with me.
01:02:56Publish the correction as widely as the accusation travels.
01:03:05Forwarded from your old shop.
01:03:06No reply requested.
01:03:13Celeste, leave the flowers a moment.
01:03:19Is it an order?
01:03:20Or is it the report?
01:03:22The correction?
01:03:24And what they still owe you for the flowers?
01:03:30Stay with me while I read it.
01:03:36I'm here.
01:03:37Take your time.
01:03:40Take your time.
01:03:45The accusation is withdrawn.
01:03:46My removal is void.
01:03:49They named your records.
01:03:51They named your work.
01:03:56He wasn't the man at the fountain.
01:03:58She hired someone else.
01:04:02There is another statement under his name.
01:04:11He put what he did to me in the public record?
01:04:14You no longer have to carry the whole account alone.
01:04:21For three years I kept answering a question they never asked me.
01:04:28You told the truth before any of them were ready to hear it.
01:04:34I was not what they called me.
01:04:37You never were.
01:04:40Now it is written where they can all see.
01:04:47If you cut any more we'll have to sell the leaves.
01:04:53Put this with the papers.
01:04:54I don't need it in my pocket anymore.
01:04:59You've read his part twice since breakfast.
01:05:04He wasn't at the fountain.
01:05:05He was there every night he lied to me.
01:05:11And you still miss him.
01:05:19I miss the way he looked at me before I learned what he was hiding.
01:05:23Then make him come to your garden.
01:05:24He can find out what you've built.
01:05:29A conversation.
01:05:30I'm not packing this place into another bag.
01:05:33I want him to come.
01:05:35That frightens me more than writing it.
01:05:38One conversation in the garden.
01:05:40No escort inside.
01:05:41No promise to return.
01:05:44When?
01:05:45He was still hurt when we left.
01:05:49Three weeks.
01:05:50At four.
01:05:51I won't have him falling into my flowers.
01:05:58That's it then.
01:05:59We'll send it with today's post.
01:06:03Thank you for staying while I change my mind a hundred times.
01:06:09You still owe me half next month's rent.
01:06:11Start with those flowers.
01:06:14Then let's finish before I find another reason to start that letter again.
01:06:21Odette's false title is revoked.
01:06:23Her forged inheritance claim is cancelled.
01:06:27You would exile a woman once considered for your son.
01:06:31For arranging the attack and the fraud, permanent exile follows.
01:06:38Because I was not born where she was born.
01:06:42Because you chose to destroy someone to take her place.
01:06:45You chose her life for her too.
01:06:47I did.
01:06:48I won't hide it.
01:06:50Or do it again.
01:06:55What am I supposed to be without that name?
01:06:57Marker from the men you hired will serve prison certainties.
01:07:00None of them is coming.
01:07:01Let go.
01:07:02It doesn't go with you.
01:07:06Celeste gets everything simply by staying away.
01:07:08She spent three years finding what you hid.
01:07:11You know what that cost her.
01:07:13Transport is ready.
01:07:15Step through the gate.
01:07:17You all watched her fall.
01:07:19Remember that when you're here.
01:07:20You will remember.
01:07:21I put my own power back on too.
01:07:27Drive on.
01:07:31Your honorary title is withdrawn for the removal you enforced and concealed.
01:07:35My house still needs someone to manage what remains.
01:07:38You will not control the property restored to Celeste.
01:07:42Tell her I want to explain.
01:07:44She should hear her own father.
01:07:45You may ask.
01:07:46I cannot grant you her attention.
01:07:52I thought keeping the name intact meant keeping the family intact.
01:07:57You kept the name on a door she was not allowed to enter.
01:08:01These go straight to Celeste.
01:08:02She has sent the address.
01:08:07All that under your name.
01:08:09This table suddenly looks very small.
01:08:11I can manage it from here.
01:08:13I don't have to live there.
01:08:14Then do we still pay next chance rent?
01:08:17Yes.
01:08:18I'm not giving up the first window we filled ourselves.
01:08:21Your father asks whether you will hear him.
01:08:24He can wait.
01:08:25I have nothing to say to him today.
01:08:28And the man coming at four?
01:08:29Has he been like waiting too?
01:08:32His invitation stands.
01:08:34Don't tell him I've been watching the clock.
01:08:38I will chair the council while you're away.
01:08:41Return before coronation preparations.
01:08:47One conversation.
01:08:49I've read those words more often than the rest.
01:08:52And if she chooses the garden over the crown.
01:08:57Then I come home alone.
01:08:59I won't send anyone after her.
01:09:03Four o'clock.
01:09:04I wasn't sure what to do with the last hour.
01:09:06You could have come at four instead of waiting outside.
01:09:09I remember the shaded bed.
01:09:12He survived the journey better than I did.
01:09:17You kept the shirt.
01:09:20I kept trying to make it lie flat.
01:09:23You always got it right.
01:09:25Don't make this about the good parts only.
01:09:27I was betrayed before.
01:09:28I made you pay for someone else's choice.
01:09:31And when you knew I wasn't hurt?
01:09:33When you kissed me?
01:09:36I wanted you.
01:09:38I kept lying because the truth might cost me.
01:09:42You decided that risk was yours alone?
01:09:46I was already inside it.
01:09:49I know.
01:09:50I want you to finish.
01:09:52Even the part I'm afraid to hear.
01:09:56Then look at me.
01:09:58I need to say this once.
01:10:04I still love you.
01:10:06I'm angry that it didn't stop when I left.
01:10:08I wanted to hear that.
01:10:09I know it doesn't undo anything.
01:10:11My work stays mine.
01:10:12My money stays mine.
01:10:13No more tests.
01:10:14No more lies because I'm afraid of losing you.
01:10:17And slowly then,
01:10:18you're still wearing my worst stitch.
01:10:23Then stop looking at the stitch.
01:10:26I've missed you.
01:10:27Even when you order me about.
01:10:28Keep the Provence shop open.
01:10:30I want both windows full of flowers.
01:10:32Your flowers have taken over my palace.
01:10:35This belongs with their maker.
01:10:36Then I'll wear it for work.
01:10:37Alarith.
01:10:39Serve this kingdom.
01:10:40Let its people see the man who wears the crown.
01:10:45Celeste.
01:10:46Will you stand beside me as queen?
01:10:48By your own will.
01:10:49I will.
01:10:50With my name,
01:10:51my work,
01:10:51and my voice intact.
01:10:54Then let the whole kingdom hear that voice.
01:10:56She still cracked the flowers on her way out.
01:11:00I was worthy before this crown.
01:11:02Today I choose to wear it.
