Previously on The Royals...

You pathetic, gullible...

Uncle, your words are treasonous.

Now you're banished.

He's manipulating you and you're
either too vain or stupid to notice.

I hope you're right about Robert.

'Cause he's the only son you're
gonna have when this is over.

Someone told me, if you're strong
enough to destroy something,

you're strong enough to repair it.

You all deserve my best.

I can't take the risk.

I'll go.

Then again, it is my birthday.

The country is doing better.
The people are happy.

So I've decided to keep
things the way they are...

for the rest of time.

You have to let go of believing
that I am your enemy.

The seat to my right remains empty...

to be filled by my most
trusted lieutenant.

Aarghh!

Stay there, brother. It's
where you've always belonged.

[CYRUS] Simon wanted to
abolish the monarchy.

Robert's done exactly the opposite!

We need to topple that arrogant
prick and get you the throne,

a throne he got by killing your father.

I'm done with you and this witch hunt!

Kathryn is why I was so driven
to destroy my own brother.

My feelings for her.

I understand that now, and
I'm ashamed of myself.

[HE SIGHS]

Hold on. I got it.

- The best thing I can do...
- The best thing I can do.

The best thing I can do to honor my
father is to be loyal to my brother!

It's time I stand behind
him and support his reign!

You dumb arse! You pathetic, gullible...

Wait, wait, wait. "Dumb arse"?

- Too mean?
- It just doesn't sound like

something you'd say.

- How about "cock goblin"?
- No!

It's got to be something vicious.

He knows I lash out when I'm angry.

If he doesn't believe this argument,

our entire plan will collapse.

Okay, um... What about "dick"?

- Moron!
- Idiot!

- Fool.
- "Fool" is good.

You fool! You pathetic, gullible fool!

- That's good.
- Fine. Fool it is.

He'll be here soon.

He passes by every day around
this time without fail.

I've been tracking him
for weeks. It's show time.

And, Liam, make it count.

We still have a chance
to dethrone that dick.

- [LIAM] Let it go.
- I will not.

Do you really think Robert
sent money to Ted Pryce

as a salve to the man's grief?

As if.

We're taking that lying charlatan down,

and I won't take no for an answer.

No!

My brother's been an arsehole, okay?

But he's not a killer.

We were wrong.

It's time to let it go

and actually try to put
this family back together.

We must topple this arrogant prick

and get you the throne,

a throne that he got from
killing your father.

No, he didn't!

I'm done with you. And I'm
done with this witch hunt.

Kathryn is why I was so driven
to destroy my own brother.

My feelings for her. I
understand that now.

I'm ashamed of myself.

The best thing I can
do to honor my father

is to be loyal to my brother.

You fool.

You pathetic, gullible...

Uncle, your words are treasonous.

Not to mention, I warned you.

I gave you every chance.
Now you're banished.

You can't banish me from the palace.

[ROBERT] I most certainly can.

- Well?
- I was right.

That moment after your mother's
birthday dinner wasn't innocent.

What did he say?

I'm gonna be alone tonight.

Come and see me. Please.

I miss you in so many ways.

Knew it.

I'm sorry, Kathryn.

I hate dragging you
back into all of this.

You're not dragging me into anything.

You've been right all along.

I want to help you prove it.

Then you'll meet him tonight.

And, after that, we won't be
able to speak for a while.

But once it's safe, I'll find you.

And until then, I'll miss you.

I already do.

He's not wrong.

You do look amazing.

Now... let's go convince my brother

you still have feelings for him.

I want to see you again, Kate.

I want you.

And I miss you.

I want you, too.

I'm sorry you had to hear that, brother.

♪ Doesn't mean I don't grieve... ♪

- Liam, I'm...
- Just go.

Aarghh!

Stay there, brother.

It's where you've always belonged.

[SHOUTED QUESTIONS]

Well, I suppose that's that.

Eleanor must be disappointed.

Oh, I'm sure she is.

But it's for the best. Too dangerous.

And yet, you still look troubled.

You haven't known me long enough

to know when I'm troubled.

Am I wrong?

I'm hearing rumors that Colin Yorke

is organizing a coup against Robert.

Do you believe the rumors?

A lot of politicians lost their careers

and very comfortable
lives to his decision.

It concerns me.

But my son's probably two
steps ahead of them.

Oh...

Secret door, please.

Of course, Your Majesty.

See you this evening.

[ASTON] Martin Caine.

Energy magnate, investor,

business tycoon and philanthropist.

He's also the man Robert used
to black out the entire city.

- How do we prove it?
- I hack his security system,

you get me anything with
a hard drive on it.

The house is empty. I'd
start in his office.

You've got 20 minutes.

If you get caught, you've never met me.

You said you had changed.

You lied.

Throughout history,
revolutionaries have been

either imprisoned or executed, or both.

Sit down.

Let's discuss what happens next.

I want to applaud the two
of you for getting this far.

But, then, even blind
squirrels find a nut or two.

Or in your case, Cyrus,
definitively one nut.

I don't understand what
you're doing here.

- Or which side you're on.
- You're lucky.

This time, I'm on your side.

Truth be told, I've had my eye
on Martin Caine for a while.

Why?

Because I've had my eye
on Robert even longer.

How much longer?

Since my youngest son
came to me and told me

he was so convinced something was wrong,

he was willing to disown me.

I love Robert. I hope I'm wrong.

But I fear I'm not.

Mum, what do you know
about the blackout?

I know what Aston Lange knows.

And how do you know Aston Lange?

Mr. Lange and I go way back.

As a matter of fact, I placed
him in the Venezuelan embassy

to find dirt on the
last tyrannical king.

You mean me.

That very one.

Why didn't you tell us this before, Mum?

I wasn't sure if your
alliances had shifted.

Very convincing, you two.

And very shrewd.

We should go.

There is nothing of use to us here.

On to Plan B.

Martin Caine hosts a high-stakes
poker game every week.

The participants change
from week to week, based on

prestige and capital.

The Russian oligarch's
about to have an accident,

freeing up a seat at the table.

I'll go.

No. I'll go.

The only thing the man loves
more than power and money...

is women. In the meantime...

Someone ate my turkey jerky.

Could you knock, please?

My name was on it, which means
it was my personal property.

I didn't eat your turkey jerky.

Cyrus, did you eat
Desiree's turkey jerky?

No.

Someone needs to learn office etiquette!

In the meantime,

we need to take the pulse
of Robert's round table.

Find out how many of them
would support a coup.

If this gets back to him, he could

have us all hanged for treason.

How do we protect against that?

We dig up dirt on all of them,

buy their silence.

- What do you think, Mum?
- Not bad.

But there's another way.

We want you to reach out to
the men from his stag party.

See if they're loyal to Robert.

You know, if this gets back
to him, I could lose my job,

my freedom, possibly my life.

I know. But you're skilled
at reading people

and skilled at reading a room.

Cyrus has dirt on every one of them.

If you have to use it to influence
their silence, you'll have it.

Your brother's a tyrant in the making,

and it's only gonna get worse.

Get me the names and whatever
you have on these men.

I was there at the stag party.

They'll show allegiance to
whoever is on the throne.

Hi.

Do you believe this?

All these gifts and
they just keep coming.

I expect they'll be coming for
the better part of the year.

But we already have everything we need.

Shouldn't we suggest they make
charitable donations instead?

Where's the fun in that?

Besides, people like to send things.

- That's the way it's always been.
- But it's just...

It's so excessive.

Welcome to every monarchy
that's ever existed.

I wanted to talk to you
about that interview.

- The one about Martin Caine.
- I said so much less than I wanted to.

That may be, but I need you
to be the kinder side of us.

- Less political.
- I was simply telling the truth.

And I understand.

But, politically, I've been
fairly aggressive of late.

Let me be the bad guy.

You be the Queen that gives
our gifts to charity.

Please, it's been a turbulent
time for us lately.

Sounds like you're disappointed.

In you? Never.

I just simply want the
country and the world

to see your grace and kindness.

So... stand still and look pretty?

No. Be exactly you.

Just try to steer clear of
politics, religion and sport.

Look, I know it's a lot.

But we'll get through it... together.

Maybe don't give all the gifts away.

Especially the larger ones.

[HE LAUGHS]

Do you know what really
bothers me about this?

It's that someone knew that
this was helping people

but they just told the press, anyway.

Who would do that?

Maybe that couple that we
took the pen back from.

No, I... I don't think so.

I got a thank-you letter
in the mail from them.

They swore they wouldn't tell.

But then, apart from me, who else knew?

Mum!

It was you, wasn't it?

You told the press that I was Robin...

...the cradle.

No Sebastian?

Oh... he uses my secret door.

I don't need to know what
he does to you, Mother.

I didn't know how to tell you.

Every time I think I know you, Mum,

you remind me that I don't.

Don't say that.

You told the press, didn't you?

You couldn't tell me about Sebastian,

but you could tell the
world that I'm Robin Hood.

I did no such thing.

You're the only one who knew.

You're the only one I told.

But, you know, it... it
doesn't surprise me.

Because this is... this is what you...

you do, isn't it?

You take things from me.

Things that I care about.

Darling, don't say that.

Wh...

When you confided in me
that you were Robin Hood,

I was concerned but I
didn't tell the press.

Trust me.

I did.

I trusted that you would
tell me the truth

and I trusted that you would
consider my feelings.

But look where that's got me.

Eleanor. Don't go. Darling...

I'm sorry.

Oh, please. Go right ahead.

This place is full of thieves and liars.

Sorry.

Bad day.

Join the club.

Can't trust anyone around here.

So what's going on with you?

[SHE SIGHS]

Robert told me to be seen and not heard.

- Hmph.
- You?

Ahh... my mother threw me under the bus.

And then she threw
herself under Sebastian.

You need that way more than I do.

Mm-hm.

Right.

Listen, I'm...

I'm sure Robby appreciates
your point of view.

It's one of the things
he loves about you.

He's just under a lot of pressure.

Mm.

What do you think about
his latest decision?

Mm, that depends on which "latest
decision" you're referring to.

Disbanding Parliament for good,

you know, making it permanent.

Right, you didn't know.

Did I, uh... Did I mention this place...

sucks?

I'm starting to get that.

Yeah.

Whoa, whoa! Let me help you.

[THUD]

- They're just crisps.
- "They're just crisps."

I know they're just crisps.

This is what my life has come to.

You believe this shit?

- What's wrong?
- I was the King of England.

Now I live in a broom closet.
You might want to start there.

- What's wrong today?
- Nothing.

- What do you want?
- Jasper is making contact.

Don't tell me any more.

Cyrus, it's happening. Your
plan is about to work.

Aren't you excited?

I'm this close

to meeting with Robert
and betraying you.

Do you understand that?

I'm a jealous, spiteful man
and none of that has changed.

That's not true. I've seen you change.

You're wrong.

If this plan works, you'll be King.

Do you know how goddamn
jealous that makes me?

That my plan is about to work,

and you'll get the glory.

That your mother will take credit

for seeing this thing through.

And, once again, I'll be irrelevant.

Sitting in a goddamn broom closet,

fighting a vending machine
for a cheap bag of crisps.

The fool.

The jester.

None of this happens without you.

And if it does happen,
if I'm meant to be King,

I'm going to need your
guidance more than ever.

And what do I get?

Do I get my crown back? No.

Do I get Violet back? No.

So what do I get?

You get your dignity back.

And you get my respect and
the respect of the nation.

So essentially nothing, then.

[TEXT ALERT CHIME]

It's from Robert.

He wants to see me.

Do you think it's about the coup?

- It could be.
- I'll go.

It's okay. If he knows about
it, I'll tell him the truth.

No revolution ever happened
without a degree of risk.

I do appreciate that
information. Thank you.

You okay?

Just a few rats below deck.

Close the door.

Before I was King,

I didn't realize how
many false allies I had.

How few people I could truly trust.

It's no secret that I've struggled with

who you've become since my absence.

And, if I'm being honest, brother...

...I have to admit that...

I asked myself if you were
one of the precious few

I could still believe in.

Still trust.

But today I stopped asking
myself that question.

Because today I came to
terms with the answer.

I have to do something.

And the truth is, the man that
you've been the last few weeks

has made a difficult
decision an easy one.

I want you to be my best man.

Of course.

I'd be honored.

I love you, brother.

No matter what.

So, who's the worst-behaved

artist on your label, Irving?

Oh, you know who that is, Marty.

But she did sell out Wembley in
just seven minutes last week.

You'll pay back what she earns
in lawsuits and damages.

- But she does it with style.
- [CHUCKLING]

- Speaking of style...
- Gentlemen. Please, don't get up.

I heard there was a seat available

and a table full of easy money.

Mind if I join you?

Your Majesty, what a pleasant surprise.

I was feeling lucky this evening.

We'll see about that. Deal me in.

And I'll have one of what you're having.

Whiskey. Neat.

- [CHUCKLING]
- What's the buy-in?

- The buy-in is 50,000.
- Perfect.

I was worried I might
have to raise your taxes.

Gentlemen...

[SILENCE]

I have to give you credit, Your Majesty.

Your poker skills are very impressive.

A bit of skill, a bit
of luck, Mr. Caine.

Mm. Well...

your luck is about to run out.

I'm all in.

I would call you but... I'm
afraid I'm a little short.

But, as you said earlier,
I'm good for it.

I'd much prefer you were bad for it.

You do intrigue me, Mr. Caine.

And since I'm quite sure you...

never drew that third king
you were hoping for...

...I'll call your bluff.

All my winnings and a
personal tour of the palace.

Tonight.

Very well.

But if I win, I'm gonna need a favor.

Interesting.

I call.

Aces and kings.

Three kings.

Mr. Caine, did you really think

I didn't know you drew that third king?

Then why didn't you fold?

I'm interested in seeing
what other skills you have,

beyond poker.

I'll see you at the palace.

Did you give our presents away?

Did you plan to tell me Parliament was a

permanent relic of the past?

I would have told you eventually, yes.

Eventually?

Yes, eventually.

And this isn't exactly
a personal secret.

- It's my work.
- It changes everything.

Actually, it changes nothing.

It preserves things the way
they are, and things are good.

Or at least they're good
outside of the palace.

Don't take cheap shots.
I'm your fiancée.

We're supposed to share things.

And we will. But I am King.

And I'll be expected to
make many, many decisions

regarding my kingdom

and I won't be consulting
you before I do.

I understand the demands of the Crown,

and I respect them.

But, just as you have to make decisions

regarding the welfare of many,

I have to make decisions regarding
the welfare of one. Me.

And, potentially, the welfare of us.

Though I'm not certain there is an us.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means my instincts are
screaming at me not to trust you,

and it's mostly because
I keep being blindsided

by your secrets and lies.

Again, you seem to think
that the decisions I make

as King are somehow democratic.

They're not. This is a monarchy.

And you seem to think
that not telling me

you were disbanding Parliament

for the rest of time is no big deal.

Do you have to tell me those things?

No. But I thought we had
the kind of relationship

where you wanted to
tell me those things.

I do. And I will.

But we are not gonna be co-Kings.

I'm gonna be King and
you're gonna be my Queen.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Hello.

Hi, babe.

What have you got there?

My foundation.

You know, I have a
brother who's a monarch,

so surely he can cut
through all this red glue.

Red tape.

I have something that
I want to show you.

"Copy cat Robin Hoods Abound."

You started a movement, Princess.

People all over the city are
helping the less fortunate,

leaving gifts, doing good
deeds, and it's all...

because they believe
in what you started.

They believe in you.

"Princess Eleanor is one of the most...

inspiring and influential
icons of my generation.

If she can't do this any
more, then we will.

All of us."

You did this.

And I know that you think it's over,

all the kindness and goodwill

that you were bringing to
other people, but it's...

It's not the end.

This is the beginning.

I still wish it was me, though.

You know, I liked sneaking
around and helping people.

I really liked my costume.

I mean, you did look very
sexy in that costume.

- I did, didn't I?
- Mm.

Do you think my mum told the press?

She says that she didn't, but...

I think she did.

Listen...

I understand that you
feel betrayed but...

...the city's a better
place because of it.

Because of you.

Yeah.

Well... I'm a bad-ass princess, I guess.

Mm. Yeah.

You're my bad-ass princess.

Ever been to the palace
before, Mr. Caine?

Please.

Call me Martin.

- Mm.
- And, no... never been.

Not even when you were conspiring

with my son to cause the blackout?

Now you can call me Mr. Caine.

Well... Mr. Caine...

you run a publicly-traded utility.

Many of your shareholders live
in the district you betrayed.

And I also have an alliance with
the most powerful man in England.

- For now.
- [LAUGHS]

I enjoy gambling,

so I'll call your bluff.

If you were to expose me,

you would also have to expose your son.

That's right, I would.

And will.

And I'll have help doing it.

We know what you did, Mr. Caine,

and we know how you did it.

The only one protecting
you is the current King.

You'd better hope he stays current.

If you're planning a revolt,

what's to keep me from running to
Robert and telling him about it?

I'm about to show you.

Unzip me.

This is what's gonna guarantee

your silence.

The question you have to ask
yourself is a simple one.

Do you think I have the
ability to do this?

You're a smart man, Marty.

Shut the door and take a seat.

How'd it go?

If you make your move, they're with you.

My God, you're beautiful.

Did you tell the press about Eleanor?

- Or did Robert?
- What?

I told you about Eleanor's
Robin Hood missions

and now she's been exposed.

Whatever you say to me,
you say in confidence.

- You know that.
- I thought I knew that.

But Robert seems very concerned

about Colin Yorke's insurgency.

Helena, you said yourself

he was probably two moves
ahead of Colin Yorke.

Anyone could have told
him about the plot.

True.

If it actually existed.

There is no plot.

You made it up to test me.

That's right.

So...

...I'm gonna ask you again.

Did you tell the press, or did Robert?

Helena, I...

Answer the goddamn question!

I told Robert.

I suppose he told the press.

You can go now.

He's the King. I didn't
know how to say no.

Can you forgive me?

You say it like this.

No.

Use the front door.

You won't be coming back.

I tried to please everyone
and I shouldn't have.

Sorry.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I feel bad about my brother.

I know he's hurt a lot of people, but...

I still feel like I'm a bad
guy for what I'm about to do.

Those people that I met
with this morning...

...they all pretty much
said the same thing.

"Tell Liam we're with him.

Tell him we've got his back."

They've seen the person
that you've been.

They've seen the person that you are.

And they are ready to
go to war with you.

And so am I.

- ♪ Don't go round tonight... ♪
- I gotta go.

♪ It's bound to take your life ♪

♪ There's a bad moon on the rise ♪

You wanted to see me?

Yes, I did.

I've been thinking a lot about
our earlier conversation and...

...I'm gonna need the ring back.

I made a huge mistake with you.

And now I'm gonna fix it.

When I first asked you to marry me,

I should have got down on bended knee

and told you how much I respect you,

how much you inspire me

and that I can't do this without you.

Any of it.

I was taught to be solitary

and to rule on my own,
and that was wrong.

So, forgive me...

and I will never take you for granted.

And I love you.

Come here.

I don't need you to kneel.

And I don't want you to.

You're the King.

And we'll stand together and
we'll find our way together.

I'm sorry we argued.

I just...

I felt like I let you down.

You didn't let me down.

Speak your mind to the press.
Give all our gifts to charity.

The only thing we need is each other.

Besides...

you're the gift I've
wished for my whole life.

What's all this about?

I've sent for your things.
You're coming home.

Why?

Because you're the
former King of England,

and because this is your home.

Your exile has been revoked.

That was a stupid move.

You're being reckless.

After everything I've taught you,

you can't seem to get past that

goddamn weak heart of yours.

He's smart, your brother.

He's the smartest foe you'll ever face.

You can't do these things.

I convinced him it was better
to keep our enemies close.

He bought it.

Maybe he's the one keeping
his enemies close.

You're this far from being

the next King of England.

If it were me, I wouldn't
have done this for you.

I think you would have. Welcome home.

Liam...

Thank you.

Hey.

Are you okay?

I don't want to keep secrets
from you, so I'm not going to.

Okay.

What's going on?

There's something happening.

And I think you should know about it.

Liam is planning to remove
Robert from the throne.

He just... can't ever push past it.

After all of this time,

after all of the second chances,

he still thinks Robby is evil

and wants to de-throne him.

It's unbelievable. I have
to put a stop to it.

Don't.

What?

I know you love him, and
it pains me to say it,

but your brother is not a good guy.

He needs to be stopped.

Martin Caine is in.

He's going to tell the world
that Robert coerced him.

And in return he asks that the new King

Kind of an aggressive ask for a
criminal with no bargaining power.

He also drank my finest whiskey

I need to tell you something.

First, I need to ask you something

because I need to know
that I'm not going crazy.

Of course.

Robby is a good guy, yeah?

What?!

Of course he is. He's profoundly good.

- He loves his kingdom...
- Does he love you?

Len, what's going on?

I just saw him.

He told me I was the gift
he's wished for all his life.

He even got down on one knee.

Did he say anything else?

Erm... yes, but it was...
kind of between us.

What did he say exactly? Please.

Erm... He said he's
always had trust issues,

but realizes he doesn't with me.

He finds himself wanting
to be a better person

and wanting to be great in my eyes.

He said...

"I know things started
unconventionally with us,

but my world is more
vibrant because of you."

"My heart aches...

and my body trembles...

...but I would walk away from all of it

to be with you for the rest of time."

Yes.

You can't marry him.
