Original subtitles

Hey guys, Prince Alexander here. I was on the mountain today and I ran into a

spot of trouble.

I guess that unmarked trail was roped off for a reason.

But don't worry, I'm being taken care of here by my friend at the ski patrol.

And I'll be back in no time.

The helicopter's here.

Hello. You're not making a video, are you? Your father's gonna have a fit.

This is Bella.

Say hi, Bella.

We have to go.

Cheers, guys. I'll give you an update soon.

No, you won't.

Hey. Come on.

Yara? How are you now? Feeling

better?

You sure that's the right move?

Who's the doctor here?

Just saying. Last time I saw you do this, you, uh, you messed up.

That's because I was seven and you were crying.

I was only crying because you were making some pretty bad mistakes.

What's that?

I mean, watching you right now, it's actually making me tear up just a little

bit.

I thought you were supposed to be good at this.

I'm not good at this.

I'm great at this.

I think he's going to make it.

Thank you, Dr. Tasha.

Well done on my job, Ben.

He was a very brave patient. He was. He was.

How's he look?

Great. How'd you do that?

Well, you know, just some doctor and nurse skills.

Great.

I got to hand it to you. You have some pretty good work in there today.

Was that a compliment?

Yeah.

What do you want?

Well, can't a guy compliment his sister without wanting something?

Amber, back me up.

He complimented me for no good reason. I say he wants something. I was being

nice. Did he pat you on the back?

He did.

Definitely wants something.

I thought we were cool, Amber.

with the one saving my life.

How are we feeling?

A little tired.

Okay, why don't we give the drawing a break and have a little rest?

I'll rest for half an hour, then I'm getting back at it. I would never stand

in the way of your genius.

Yeah.

So, you gonna spit it out?

You know, I'm actually insulted now.

See if I ever compliment you about anything ever again.

Oh, fabulous.

Yeah, okay.

Right, here you go. Okay, so, first thing I want to say in my defense is

that this all happened really, really quickly.

Okay, you need to tell me what's going on right now.

Okay, so, I got a call this morning. He was here, skiing, and he had an

accident. His leg is pretty bad, and it also rattled his head a little bit. It

could be concussed.

Who? Well, they don't want him being bombarded by paparazzi. And so I

suggested that...

If he stayed here with you and the pediatrics ward over the holidays, then

he'd be off the grid, so to speak.

And his security team said that the pediatrics floor is the lowest risk in

the whole hospital.

Which is a feather in our cap.

Who are you talking about?

You've got to be kidding.

No.

What? You asked.

I said no.

But I'm your brother.

Half-brother.

Tash, what's the problem?

There's no problem. You asked, I said no. He's my friend from school. Don't

make me beg.

Yeah, he's your friend from school. He was never mine.

Oh, is that what this is?

Tash, that was years ago.

I don't know what you're talking about.

The Prince Alexander I remember was a spoiled, overindulged brat.

And quite frankly, I have enough children to deal with. I don't need

another one added to the mix. It's something personal. Yeah, all right.

I'm sorry, what?

Look, I'm not saying that you don't have a reason to be mad, but this could be a

good chance to let bygones be bygones. Do not try to put that man-child in my

care. Dr. Miller, a word, please.

Of course.

I just want to tell you the good news.

Just came from a meeting, and the board has just approved of the entire budget

for all your treatment requests.

Really? No.

Unfortunately, your department is very far down on the list. And the hospital

CEO, he's decided that he's going to woo some very prominent heart specialists.

The board seems to be very taken with the idea. Dr. Gonzalez, these treatments

are very important.

I was extremely thorough. I was hoping the board would at least consider...

Sorry, but their hearts are in a different place.

Doctor, I'm already stretched thin as it is. Those kids are counting on us.

It's true. It's bare bones.

Sorry, I don't believe we've met.

What was your name again?

Doctor... Nurse.

Actually, it's Nurse Jeff.

Well, Nurse Jeff. If Nurse Jeff says we need it, then clearly I stand corrected.

Can I borrow a pen? Because I seem to have left mine in my chief of medicine

office.

I'm just trying to help.

You know what then, champ?

When I need to place an order for scrubs, I'll take myself down to the

coffee station and I'll get your opinion then. Okie dokie?

I know you're making fun of me, but I actually could be very helpful with it.

Doctor, I really do need this.

Please. And I need a doctor who knows what her job is. Find a way to solve

both problems.

Dr. Gonzalez, Dr.

Miller was just telling me about a possible solution.

What are you doing?

Is that right, nurse?

Well, please, don't keep me in suspense, because clearly, whatever it is you're

about to say is far more important than saving lives.

Right. Well, as it happens, Dr.

Miller is friends with Prince Alexander.

They went to boarding school together.

Stop it immediately.

Is that so?

Um, I mean, I... It is. It is Dr.

Gonzalez. He was just hurt while skiing and he needs to go to a hospital.

His security team really likes our hospital's isolated location.

And when Dr.

Miller suggested that he stay in her ward over the holidays so that he could

be... be comforted by friends while they got very excited about the excellent

sight lines and the straightforward guarding against intruders. And in

return, the prince has offered a sizable donation for the inconvenience.

Did he say how sizable?

Uh, sizable enough to get Dr. Miller everything that she asked for in her

budget request and plenty more.

Oh my.

That is very generous.

And this was all your idea, Doctor?

Yeah. Yes. Yes.

I told the prince that as long as we get the donation for the new equipment, we'd

be overjoyed to have him.

Agreed. Have the king give me a ring-a-ding, and we'll set it up.

Will do.

I mean, probably won't be him specifically.

Maybe... An underling? Ow.

What? What?

The actual heck? Well, that's the worst thank you I've ever gotten. Thank you?

Are you insane?

I just got you everything you need for Amber and Ben.

And all you have to do is put aside some teenage girl issues and put up with my

friend who, honestly, is not that bad a guy. Not that bad a guy.

This is the stupidest thing you've ever done.

You think?

I've done a lot of stupid things.

This is them.

I think I'm going to need an answer.

Yes, please hold for Nurse Jeff.

Look, I am sorry I did that to you. I genuinely thought I was helping.

But if you say no, I will respect that, and I will just tell them it can't work

out. It's your call.

Say yes, but I am doing this for the kids.

Yeah, of course. Who else would you be doing it for? I mean, who wants the

world's most eligible bachelor in a private room on bed rest? You're a

saint, honestly.

I admire it.

Not ready for jokes just yet. Okay.

Yes, this is Nurse Jeff.

Yeah, I was just about to call you back. So it looks like everything here is a

go.

Oh, actually, the head of pediatrics was wondering if the prince still likes just

a touch of cinnamon in his tea.

Yeah? Great. No, she's out there stripping some Sri Lankan cinnamon bark

for him right now.

Yeah, she said she can't wait to see him.

Great. Okay, bye.

Well, thank you, Doctor.

I don't know what to say. I mean, the whole idea of letting the Prince stay

here just sort of hit me.

Now, you haven't told anybody about this, have you? Oh, no. Okay, good.

Because the whole point is for the Prince to remain incognito. Of course.

Right? And the key to this working is for everybody to act like it's a regular

Tuesday. Right? Mm-hmm.

If I'm being honest with

myself, I have nothing to be worried about, right?

I mean, sure, I was at most of the night, but that was unrelated.

I have a lot going on. You know, Christmas, the kids, taxes are right

around the corner.

And I'm not sure what my brother told you, but yes, at boarding school, there

was a moment, a very, very brief one, where I had a teensy crush on someone

who wouldn't get off his royal high horse. So, if that's what he told you,

it's true. Did he tell you that?

That was so long ago.

I mean, look at me now. I'll tell you one thing. I am, I'm not interested in

that jerk anymore.

I mean, it's, I'm sorry, what did, what did you ask me?

What floor do you need?

Right.

Six, please.

Thank you.

Do you think Dr. Miller has a crush on the prince?

Big time.

Beautiful morning, isn't it? Is it?

Is he here yet?

He is.

Hey, um, before you go in there, uh, good news.

All of your staff and patients have passed their security checks.

And there were a few precautions they had to take. What precautions?

Honestly, barely even noticeable. Just for security, really.

Dr. Miller?

Yes. Bella Canova.

His Royal Highness's personal assistant.

Oh, nice to meet you.

I just wanted to thank you for taking care of our prince during this sensitive

situation.

I'm happy to help.

We'll be out of your way as much as possible.

I know you have a very important job.

Thank you. I, uh... Sorry for this setup. Comes with the deal,

unfortunately. Yeah, I was going to ask you about... Well, actually, it looks

like they're done. I should go secure a few other things for our prince.

The plan was just sort of to ease you into it, but maybe it's best if you just

pull it off like a band-aid. Jeff.

I don't know.

What is this?

He's a prince. They have to beef up security.

How are these kids supposed to rest?

Dr. Tasha, look what one of the king's horsemen left.

Oh, wow.

Cute.

I think it's time to go back to bed now, Ben. Okay?

Please? Thank you.

Well, then, let's go.

I know, I know, but it's just for a few weeks.

You're right.

Where'd you put him?

He's in 620.

I put him as far out of your way as possible. I appreciate that.

Guess I should get this over with.

Yes, yes, no, let's do that, definitely.

But first, could you just take a call?

What? With whom?

Oh, you know, just a kid. A quick word.

Yeah, all right.

Oh, you meant the actual king, King Edward.

You'll be surprised how many times I get that as the initial response.

Sorry, um, Your Majesty.

I'm told we've already met, is that true?

Briefly, sir. Yes, back when I went to boarding school with your son.

Ah, how nice.

Knowing Geoffrey, I assume you've got all the brains in the family.

Always nice to see you, Your Majesty.

Well, I suppose first and foremost, I should thank you for taking such good

care of my son.

Though, of course, if he had shown better judgment, he wouldn't have landed

there in the first place.

And secondly, I need to ask you another favor.

Of course.

How can I help?

Well, I had hoped, given all the money we've donated, that my son could enjoy a

rather more private section of the hospital.

So if it's not too much trouble... I'd like you to relocate the other patients

in his wing.

Just for the duration of his stay, of course.

With all due respect, sir, I'm afraid that's completely out of the question.

That's far too stressful for the children.

Plus, some of these kids need to be right here for their treatment.

Specialized equipment, highly trained staff, I'm sure you can understand that.

If it's any consolation...

I can assure you, Alexander is in no danger of catching anything.

I can't remember the last time anyone said no to me.

I am very sorry, but this is... This is all a bit more than I expected already.

Well, all right, very well then.

I know when I'm beaten.

If you'd like, I can look into finding another room for him, or, um... No, no,

no, no, no.

Never sheath your sword once you've drawn it, my dear.

Well, Jeffrey, I can assume you'll keep military watch over my now-only heir to

make sure there are no more foolish accidents.

You have my word.

All right, well, thank you all again.

Good day.

Roger.

I think that went well.

You do?

Just don't be nervous.

What? I'm not.

Okay. Good.

Why'd you say that? Now I'm thinking about it. Sorry.

You're right. You're right. We'll just... It's no big... Are you wearing

makeup?

Stop.

What is he doing?

What are you doing out of bed?

Just went to freshen up.

What? There are people who can help you move, you know.

Right. Hey.

Hello.

Alexander.

Is this, Jeff, one of your latest conquests?

No. No, I'm... Tasha, I'm kidding.

I would know you anywhere.

Right. Can't forget that humor.

I would get up, but, um, doctor's orders.

I am getting paged.

Good luck, you two.

So, what have you been up to?

For the last, what, 15 years?

I can see you've become a big fancy doctor.

Cheers, that's great.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's pretty much everything, which is both sad and alarming.

What about you?

Are you still... A spoiled royal who trots around the globe only concerned

about his own needs?

I was gonna say playing soccer.

I remember you played a lot of soccer.

Not presently.

Right.

Hey.

Do a quick check.

Can you follow my pen?

Do a deep breath.

And?

And good.

Yeah.

Hi there.

Oh, these are our resident snoops, Ben and Amber.

Hi.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Is it true that you're a prince?

It is, yes. I have the crown to prove it.

One of the kids say you were brought here because you were dying.

Here I was told it wasn't that serious.

If you die, can I have your crown?

Absolutely. It's yours.

Okay, and on that note, I have to check the lab results for these two monkeys,

but it was nice seeing you again.

You too.

Okay, come on, guys.

So my sister's not going to have bridesmaids at her wedding, but she said

that I could be a bridesmaid if I felt like it.

Tasha, you're not even listening to my air quotes.

What did... Boy, that guy's got quite the life.

He's got the girls and the fast cars, and you know, the girls in the fast

cars.

Yeah, he is quite the charmer.

I wonder what it's like to meet him.

Well, I actually know him. Or knew him when we went to boarding school

together.

Really?

The prince?

Mm-hmm.

Jeff knows him better than I do.

They were in the same class.

He was only there for a few years. Something about rounding off his

international education.

Are they still in touch?

Yeah. Still pretty close, actually.

They lost touch for a while, but...

Do you remember when he lost his brother, Prince Arthur, last year? Yeah,

in the military accident.

Yeah. Well, Jeff reached out and they reconnected.

Alec was so close to his brother.

He went through a rough time.

You had a crush on him.

What? No, I didn't.

I didn't.

No, not really.

Okay, fine. There was this one time.

That I sort of asked him to be my date for the winter formal. Thank you. You

asked him on a date?

Well, kind of.

And? And nothing.

He was an 18-year-old prince, and I was a 16-year-old awkward nobody who thought

she was in love with royalty.

It went exactly how you think it went.

He rejected me.

I felt stupid.

End of story.

Not. End of story.

This calls for a sleepover and all of the details.

Check, please.

How have you not told me this? I didn't tell you this? No!

It's not that big of a deal. He's just... A prince? Well, yeah, he's a

prince, but I mean... Check, please.

He's my brother's friend. He's arrogant.

He's a prince.

Check.

How you feeling this morning, princess?

There was a pee under my mattress.

I tossed and turned all night.

Thanks for letting me crash. No problem.

Wow.

I'm really late. Can you call my phone? I can't find it anywhere.

My phone's dead.

But I can look for it after I'm done my coffee.

Thank you.

Okay, I'll see you later. Bye.

Morning. Good morning, Dr. Miller.

I trust you had a good night?

It was fine, thank you.

Splendid.

Just making sure you and Rosa got home all right after your little party.

Am I being followed?

No, no. That would be illegal.

Just a guess on my part.

I'm very good at guessing things that involve the prince's well-being.

Well, then he's very lucky to have you.

Are you all right? What are you

thinking?

My apologies, Jeffrey. The security outline clearly states no masks or

costumes. It's fun to be Santa Claus.

Cannot take any chances.

You are all right, aren't you?

Oh, I'm good. I'm good.

Just testing you.

Just testing you. And you passed.

Fine colors, wouldn't you say?

Great. Good job.

Well, this is completely insane.

What if the children saw Santa being flipped by Miss Wrestler of the Year?

Oh, she's just doing her job.

Are you sure you're all right?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

Isn't it weird that I'm way more attracted to her now?

Where are you going?

I think I need to set my own ground rules with the prince.

Okay.

Help.

Yes, I understand.

Can you at least give the illusion of having some trust in me?

You do realize you're asking this while lying in an American bed and doing the

exact opposite of what's expected?

Actually, Father, I think this bed was manufactured offshore.

Oh, thank goodness. I was afraid your sarcasm might have lost its edge.

What can I say? I learned from the best.

Alexander, if your brother knew... I get it.

I'm not him. I'm sorry I disappoint you. I'm sorry you're stuck with the bad son.

Tell me, is this the end or the beginning of your tantrum? Because I

have an engagement in an hour, and I need to know if I should reschedule.

I think I'd like to rest now, Father.

That's a good idea. See if you can sleep off some of your crankiness.

And if you're not in a better mood for my Christmas charity dinner, please,

don't bother to come.

Unless your plan is to stand out there all day, I suggest you come in already.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop.

I just needed to check you, but I'll come back later.

Please.

Stay.

I'm sorry.

My father and I have been locked in a battle for over a year.

But that is no excuse. There are children present, and I need to learn to

control my temper.

Please accept my apology.

Of course.

Fathers can be terrible.

Yours is bad too.

Oh, no. Yours is terrible. Mine's great.

Sorry.

He's under a lot of pressure.

And I'm not making things any easier for him.

Must be hard living up to expectations.

Never used to be.

But now there's added pressure on me seeing as I'm next in line to the

throne.

I was really sorry to hear about your brother.

Thanks.

You know it's funny, growing up I always hated the attention showered on Arthur.

Being next in line and all that.

Now I would give anything to go back to being unnoticed.

Well, I suppose the silver lining is you can do a lot more good.

Now that you're crown prince who's set to be king, you can help a lot of

people.

I guess I should see the glasses half full, shouldn't I?

I think I'm still trying to work the spoiled brat out of my system.

I still need to make my rounds, but do you want to come with me?

It might be nice to change the environment.

Yes, whatever. I'm on board.

Anything that gets me out of this room, even if it is in a wheelchair.

You sure your bodyguard will be okay with that?

I'm a grown man who can make his own decisions.

Please disregard the fact that I'm in a child's bed as I say that.

Clearly, you're a very grown-up man.

I'll get your wheelchair.

And if you're good, I'll get you a juice.

So, I would like to start off by addressing the elephant in the room.

I'll play along. I'm not sure what you're talking about, though.

I'm worried you might still have a teenage girl crush on me.

Wow. And here I was thinking you'd actually matured. But in one fell swoop,

you're still the same arrogant jerk you always were.

Interesting.

So you're saying you don't think I'm impossibly handsome and or magnetically

charming?

What on earth would lead you to believe that I would say something like... Look,

if he's that good looking on TV and magazine covers, he must be even more

gorgeous in real life. Nope.

Not at all.

Oh, please, no. What did Rosa do?

There's more.

Not at all?

Come on, Tash. Give me something here.

Okay, okay. He's very handsome.

It should be impossible for a man to be that attractive.

Yes!

And it drives you nuts. It does!

I hate that charm. It's like, he's like a magnet. No, like a jet engine.

It just gets sucked right in. It's not fair.

He's really...

I think the next message was you or your roommate snoring. I wasn't entirely sure

which.

Can I hear you snore so I can compare?

I am so sorry about that. I was out with my friend Rosa last

night and I didn't mean any of that stuff. It's just, you know, lame girl

talk, you know?

I know.

Let's go.

Look.

I know I handled it poorly in school, and I'd like to apologize if I was rude

to you back then.

I wasn't the mature gentleman that you see before you know.

Thank you.

Oh, nice job.

Hey, Jeff.

Do you still need me to take anything over to our special patient?

No, I'm sure he's fine.

Oh, but if you have a minute, Tori was due for a gauze change about a half an

hour ago.

Sure thing.

Equally as good.

Keep that up. I'll put you on bedpan, Doody.

Doody.

Thanks. Can you recheck her vitals in about a half an hour?

Great. Sure. Will do.

I took off the beard.

Peace offering.

Mmm.

Oh, just like I like my coffee.

Exactly like gross, gross tea.

I don't need to defend tea.

Besides, that black dreck you call a drink is abysmal.

Oh, no, you just haven't had good coffee.

Well, maybe you need to get me some and make me a believer.

Challenge accepted.

I'm sorry about earlier.

I overreacted.

Having already failed the prince once this week, I admit to being a little on

the aggressive side.

I am resisting every urge to say something inappropriate.

That's why you and the prince are friends.

So what's your deal?

Boyfriend? Girlfriend? Married? Secret second family? You don't waste any time,

do you? You flip me on my back.

In America, that's second base.

Oh, goodness.

You do laugh.

I'll spare you the trouble.

I'm married to my job.

Speaking of, I should go check on our prince.

Yeah, he's in the cancer treatment center with Tash.

He's out of bed?

Yeah, I think he just wanted a change of scenery.

Inexcusable!

I bet the kids look at a kick out of meeting a real-life prince.

Um, real quick, what exactly is it they're doing here?

Chemotherapy. They get their drug treatment.

Oh.

Don't worry, you can't catch it.

No, of course.

It's just those sad little pieces.

Well, I don't think they mean to make sad faces.

They're just really sick.

My leg's kind of bothering me.

If it's all the same to you, I might just hang here.

Yeah.

Sure.

Hey.

Hi.

You're pretty brave doing all of this.

Mom says you gotta do what you gotta do.

Smart lady.

Is your mom waiting in your room?

She's working.

We live a couple hours drive away.

She comes on the weekends, though.

If she's not working, sometimes she works then, too.

Well, I'm sure she'd be here if she could.

That's why we listen together.

Listen to what?

Mom made a playlist.

Same as hers.

Every day at 11, when I get treatment, we listen to the songs together.

That way, she's here with me.

Oh, that's very cool.

I get surgery next week.

She called me this morning and said she can't get here in time.

But she'll be here the day after.

She told me I could put my favorite song on repeat to make me feel better about

that.

My favorite artist is Genevieve Fisher.

Want to listen?

More than anything.

Good morning, Amber.

Morning. How are you feeling?

Good. Yeah?

Wow, that's beautiful.

Thank you. Have you been working on that all morning?

Yeah. Yeah?

Is he really a prince?

That he is.

Does he live in a castle?

You know what?

That's a good question. You should ask him.

Or better yet, why don't you draw him a picture of a castle and give it to him?

I bet he'd love that.

Am I gonna be in the hospital for Christmas?

Yes.

You know what that means?

What? That I get to spend it with you.

Which is all I asked Santa for.

You asked Santa to make me sick for Christmas?

That's dark.

Well, then I guess you're just gonna have to grow up and become a doctor so

we can spend all our holidays together

Truth. Have you ever kissed a princess to wake her up from a spell?

No. But a princess did kiss a frog once, which is, of course, how I became a

prince.

Is that real?

No. It's just being silly.

I am not.

See? My webbed fingers.

There you are. Why aren't you answering your phone?

I left it at home. Why? What's going on?

Get out of here.

Those over there, please. No, they're going to wreck it. I promise all of your

possessions will be safe and sound in your new quarters across the hall.

No, actually, we already talked about this. I said no.

Yes, I know the prince isn't your first concern, which is why I spoke to someone

with more authority than you.

Bella. These children do not need to be looked. This is your father's decision.

He agrees with your security team. So I have no say in the matter?

Your father's decision stands.

Oh!

Hello.

It's you.

Oh.

My name is Melanie.

You can just call me Mel.

I have a cat named Princess.

None of this would have happened if you just listened to me in the first place.

It's starting to get a little bit heated. Excuse me, Mel. Bella, I will

not be told to stay in bed. And I will not be responsible for the well-being of

a petulant royal who does not follow the simplest of orders. You do not give me

orders. Okay, time for ice cream. Ice cream time. Come with me. We can go get

some ice cream. You're coming with me. Thank you for your help. Ice cream, I'm

buying. Dr. Gonzalez, you can't move these kids just to satisfy the palace.

Dr. Miller.

I'm sure you remember his majesty, King Edward.

Oh, I like the way that sounds.

Hello again, doctor.

I see you in above my head.

No, no, my dear.

I merely moved the head out of my way.

Ma'am, I'm going to have to put my foot down on this.

In that case, I guess congratulations are in order.

For what?

For you taking over as chief of medicine. After all, that is who would

make a decision like this, right?

It's Christmas.

We say happy holidays, doctor.

You know as well as I do, moving these kids causes them unnecessary stress and

jeopardizes their health. I'm moving them a mere 50 feet away.

I've looked over all of their cases and they'll be fine. Well, fine doesn't cut

it when you're running a hospital.

Dr. Miller, I think everything will run more smoothly for the rest of the day

without your presence.

Go home.

Now.

So where were we, Dr. Gonzales?

Tasha, please let me fix this. No, enough, okay?

I don't need your help. I don't even want it.

I got stuck with you.

I've never met anyone more spoiled.

If you're not here, I'm just gonna do my usual steal your food and leave thing.

What are we looking for?

My phone.

Why didn't you just text me and ask me to call it?

Yeah, I hear it now that I said it.

Over there.

Thank you.

No problem.

So you alright?

Sure.

If you call being kicked off your own floor alright.

You want to talk about it?

No, not really.

I feel like this is a bit my fault.

Really?

Good. Because I feel like it's a lot your fault.

Okay. Now we're talking. Good. Let me have it.

Why did you have to bring him here?

Because he's my friend.

He's already caused so much trouble.

Not to point fingers, but I believe you were the one who invited him along to

see Ben and Amber, right?

Yeah, but he could have said no.

That's true. So, maybe it's a little bit of both of you.

I just really want things to go back to normal.

I don't deal well with these kinds of things.

Actually, to be honest, you kind of do.

You act like the chaos bothers you, but that's just surface.

You are great under pressure.

Every time things are crazy, you are right at the front fixing it.

You yelled at the chief of medicine today because you knew it was the best

thing for the kids.

Have you heard anything?

Am I fired?

Dr.

Gonzalez filed for your dismissal this afternoon.

That's great.

But as far as I know, the paperwork never made it to the board.

Really? How?

I don't know.

Maybe a gentleman stepped in to help?

He did?

All I know is everyone is expecting you back at work in the morning.

Can you thank him for me?

No. No, I cannot.

But I will be there watching when you have to.

Hey, could I film it?

That could be your Christmas gift to me. Okay. And on that note, you're leaving.

But I just got here.

Yep. Thanks for helping me find my phone.

Yeah, no problem. Thanks for the sip of beer.

How's it going with the, uh, your problem?

Oh, terrible, thank you for asking.

Yeah, yesterday I yelled at him in front of everyone and turns out he saved my

job. So I have to grovel and present a grand thank you for helping a mere

peasant.

Oh, she is not fooling anyone.

No, ma'am.

Good morning, Dr. Tasha.

Good morning.

I see everyone is back to where they belong.

Yeah. Alec yelled at everyone.

He did?

It was cool. He yelled and everyone did what he said. Like a king.

Well, a good king never yells.

Although he does request rather loudly.

Good morning, Doctor.

Good morning.

I, um... Come on. We're almost going to be late.

Welcome to our prince and princess party.

This is for you, Dr. Tasha. Thank you.

Oh, thank you, Bella. This is by far the best tea you've ever brought me.

Very funny.

And this is for you.

Oh, sure.

Oh, it looks beautiful.

It's for the kids, Bella.

It's for the kids.

Is that a real crown?

No, it's made from paper.

Fake. The police get a bit jumpy if I walk around with a real crown.

I don't like that.

I have a real one. It's just at home.

It's very sparkly. And if you ever come and visit me in my country, I will give

you a private tour of the state jewel collection.

You will?

Do you have, like, alarms and guard dogs?

All of that. And bodyguards. Cool.

Alexander.

I was thinking.

Yes, Amber.

Do you have a horse?

If I were a prince, I think I'd have a horse.

I have a wonderful horse. Strong, fast.

His name is Achilles.

What happened to your leg?

Skin.

Ouch.

You know, your cast is very clean.

You need messages and pictures on it. Now that.

I can't believe you did all this.

It's wonderful for the kids.

It's wonderful for me. It's an artistic cast out here.

I think I owe you an apology.

It's not necessary.

No, it is.

Ever since you got here, I've had a chip on my shoulder.

And I've carried it around for a long time, wanting to tell that 18-year-old

jerk what I thought of him.

Right.

Not a phenomenal apology so far.

But honestly, the man that showed up has been

nothing but...

Pleasant.

Kind.

Clearly very thoughtful.

So I'm truly sorry.

And I'd like to start over.

If you could forgive me.

I would love that.

Alexandra.

Natasha.

Can you guys just start one more time? I missed the very beginning of the apology

that you had to do.

I can hear the sleigh bells ringing.

There's a chill in the air.

There's frost outside my window.

But still you're not here.

The mistletoe is ready for kissing. The only thing missing, baby, is you.

Yeah, you.

And we'll ask you to come back from 10 and you'll drift off to sleep.

You might feel a little weird when you wake up.

Kind of like you're spinning.

I'm scared.

Well, you're very lucky because Dr.

Tash will be assisting with the surgery.

Is that true?

Mm-hmm.

Honest and true, Ben.

I'll be right there beside you the whole time.

Okay. And Jeff will be here waiting for you as soon as you wake up.

Mm-hmm.

What about Alec?

Um, well, the prince is great at a lot of things, but I think this sort of

thing is...

Benny!

Alec! You came!

Of course.

Not gonna miss my best friend's big day.

Thanks. I also found this lady stumbling around the halls.

Said you might like to see her.

Mom? Mom, I can't believe you're here.

You are gonna do so great in there.

That was...

The kindest gift you could have given that family.

That's nothing.

Boy needed his mom, and I have a helicopter.

You're a good man.

Oh, I almost forgot. I have a small, uh... Genevieve Fisher.

My favorite singer. No way.

I love your music.

My mom and I listen to it together every day.

You're very kind.

I tell you what.

You go through there and beat this thing up, and I'll stick around and we'll sing

some songs together tonight. What do you say?

Yes!

Come on, Dr. Tasha. You got it.

Did you hear that?

Isn't that incredible?

Don't worry.

He's in good hands.

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh All the fields we

go, laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring,

making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing in a sleighing song

tonight Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it... What fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh Hey,

jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun

it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

It means a lot to the kids.

The least I could do.

Hey.

You don't feel like singing?

Not right now.

I hear Ben did really well in that.

He did.

He should be going home soon.

He's a great little patient.

He's not a patient.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not too sure what the technical term is.

A patient is some guy who stumbles into the ER, needs a few stitches, fix him

up.

I wouldn't recognize him an hour later.

It's remarkable what you do for them.

They have to go through so much.

Tests, chemo, radiation, surgery.

They're constantly being poked at.

Plus being away from their homes, friends, families.

It can be painful.

So lonely.

They're little, but they're strong.

Stronger than we are, maybe.

You shouldn't have to...

So, big day today, huh?

Yep. Some of our patients will be heading home.

Yeah. Kids will be crushed.

Ah, yes.

The kids.

They got pretty attached.

They did.

He's really grown on them.

I can imagine.

Spending so much time together, one-on-one.

I could see how you, I mean, they, would get so attached.

Well, you never know.

Maybe the kids will see him again.

I suppose it's possible.

It is Christmas, right?

Mm-hmm.

Uh, she thinks he's staying for her.

She's dreaming.

Merry Christmas.

Good morning.

You wanted to see me?

I wanted to say thanks for yelling at me in pediatrics.

No, no, no. I think it's safe to say that I have been so far up on my high

horse that I forgot the important work that we all do here.

So, after our little tiff, I went off and did something that I should have

done a long time ago.

What's that?

My job.

I've been combing through your budgets.

Admittedly, to find an example of your mismanagement, when instead, all I could

find were examples of my terrible leadership.

I've resubmitted your proposal.

And I appreciate all of the hard work that you have done for these patients.

You are an excellent doctor, Natasha.

And I'm sorry that I haven't found the time to say that more often.

Thank you.

I understand that pediatrics is spending a little bit too much on teddy bears.

How about we talk about that? Yes, doctor.

Hey, this one's for you.

Don't crush it. Hey, guys.

Everything good?

Yep. super good all good good stop saying good well

then squires i present to you prince

alexander thank you thank you this is also very

kind of you no more crutches

And although me and my new walking cast are being discharged today, I will hold

a very special place in my heart for all of you.

Hopefully some more than others.

Absolutely.

I was so close.

Oh, no, you totally weren't.

Shut up. Okay.

Here, we made this for you so you'll remember us.

My mom made that for you, to say thanks.

And so you can listen to the songs with us at 11.

Every day at 11.

You got it, pal.

What's this?

Wow, that is a handsome man.

Clearly this is a drawing of the most handsome man in the world.

No, it's not a handsome man.

It's you and your hassle.

Thank you.

I love it.

I'm gonna hang it in my tower next to my dragon.

Ho ho ho!

Who wants presents?

That

was

really sweet.

What's this?

I made it with Amber.

She wanted to make a fancy invitation for a fancy event.

Therefore, the multicolored glitter.

I would be honored

if you would accompany me to my family's annual Christmas charity dinner.

I warn you, my father will be flying in.

Last year he hosted it in Venice. This year it is here because my broken leg

can't travel too far.

Please say you'll accompany me.

Really?

Why would you want to bring me?

Because I think you're brilliant.

And beautiful.

And you have the kindest heart of any woman I've ever met.

There is no other woman like you.

Back then... We were too young and innocent and I walked away.

But I can't walk away this time.

Is that a yes?

Yeah.

That's a yes.

Who's Jeff?

Whoever he is. I hope somebody got him that watch he keeps asking for.

Tell me

you're

not sad on Christmas.

No, I'm just not good with change is all.

Sweet. Yeah. Very sweet.

Yeah, change can be hard.

But it always leads to new beginnings.

Here, maybe this will cheer you up.

Thank you.

Wow, you really know what a woman wants.

Santa's workshop was out of throwing stars.

Here, open the gate.

Coffee of the month.

Yeah, not just any coffee.

Exotic coffees from around the world.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Jack.

Not the dress, no.

Can you dance yet, Alex?

Well, there's only one way to find out.

Come on, Dr. Teller. Okay.

Oh,

you guys go ahead. I'll be right back. I just want to check to see this.

Oh, dancing.

Do you want to?

Hi

there.

Sorry, we were just having a little celebration in there.

Oh, how wonderful.

Charming.

We're just in between visiting hours, but we could probably bend the rules for

Christmas, right?

Oh, that's quite all right. I'm actually here to see my fiancé.

Fiancé?

Oh, hello, darling.

Miranda.

What are you doing here?

Oh, how I've missed you.

I was so worried that you wouldn't be healthy in time for the Christmas

dinner.

Tasha, wait, please.

Please, I can explain.

Dammit!

You cannot take the stairs, you're a leg! I'm fine.

Tasha, please!

I can explain.

Kasia!

My leg.

I think I've injured it again.

I am here because I am bound by my ethics.

Please, I can explain. No!

I am only here as a doctor. I don't want to talk about you or her or anything

else. Is that clear?

Crystal.

Where does it hurt?

Ah, yeah, right there, right there.

Doesn't it feel like there's any, any swelling?

Okay.

Was this your plan all along?

To humiliate me, to finish off what you started when we were kids? No, I never-

I trusted you!

You mean- me hate myself for believing you changed, for allowing myself to fall

for you. I love you.

What?

You heard what I said.

That doesn't fix anything. You have a fiancé up there. No, I don't. That

beautiful woman. She doesn't hold a candle to you.

Okay.

I'm listening.

She's a princess.

And yes, her family and possibly even mine would like to see us married

because she was my brother's fiance.

We've become friends since his death.

I've told her a dozen times I won't be marrying her.

If you're lying, I swear... I'm not.

The only thing I've lied to you about was my leg.

Right now.

So you didn't actually just hurt yourself right now?

My bum hurt a little when I intentionally fell.

Will you still be my date?

One more present to deliver.

Courtesy of the prince.

Wow.

So?

What do you think?

Too much?

Yeah, you're right. I'm gonna cancel. I can't do this.

Dash.

You look amazing.

Really? Yeah.

Like a real princess.

Yeah, princess face. That's good. You have to do that all night. I will. Yeah,

okay, good.

I guess that's my ride.

It is?

Well, you've got to get changed.

In the storage closet like a princess would.

I promised I'd say something witty right now, but I wasn't so stunned.

You kind of just did.

I guess I did, didn't I?

Shall we?

Don't be nervous.

I promise this will be fun.

It's easy for you to say.

You do this all the time.

I swear, it's just a little dinner.

Mostly friends and family.

Here we are.

Oh my goodness.

Alexander?

I'm sorry,

my English is not so good.

Back at your hospital, I misspoke.

Oh. Your English is wonderful.

And you look incredible tonight.

Thank you. I love your dress.

Who designed it for you?

It looks like you didn't even have to think about it.

Oh, good eye.

I didn't, actually.

It was a gift.

If you'll excuse us, princess.

Of course.

That was impressive.

It can be, once in a while.

Shall I get us a drink?

I thought you said this was a small dinner.

It is.

Alec, that woman's necklace alone could fund a year's treatment for my kids.

If you like it, I'll get it for you right now. Oh, stop.

You can get anything I want. No.

What?

Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty, King Edward III of Sam Savard.

Welcome. Welcome, one and all.

And thank you for joining us on such a joyous occasion.

I'd also like to congratulate my son for having managed to attend this evening's

dinner without having any further accidents.

So, enjoy.

Shall we?

Majesty, may I introduce... Ah, yes, this time I do remember.

It's lovely to see you again, Your Majesty.

I must thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son while he

interrupted your very important work.

Thank you, Father, for painting me in such a positive light.

Was that my Christmas present this year?

Dr. Miller, would you mind terribly if I borrowed my son to chastise him in

private where I can speak freely?

No, not at all.

I'll... Go powder my nose.

Alexander?

Powder my nose?

Well, Alexander, you certainly seem healthy again.

Yes, Father, I'm well.

Before you start in on me, you should know that I feel ready to start my

duties.

I'm proud of all the good you bring to people through your charities.

And I want to start setting up my own.

You always said our money was only worth something when we used it to help

others.

Your own charities?

But for years, our families supported the royal charities.

Excellent effort, Father.

But I see right through you.

I know you're happy that I'm ready to start my duty.

Happy?

Yes, I am.

But not just that.

Bella told me how you were with the children in the hospital.

And over the last few weeks, I've seen how you've grown to become not just a

worthy heir to the throne, but a truly remarkable young man.

I'm proud of you, Alexander.

You should see this place.

It's insane.

Could you bring me a doggie bag?

What? No, I'm not going to do that.

Nobody will know. Just put a bunch of tiger shrimp in your purse.

And if there's cocktail sauce, put it in like a contact lens case or something.

Why did I call you?

Because you love me.

I question that.

When I say the whole thing is just another one of Alexander's elaborate

stunts to get Miranda jealous.

I heard she's a doctor.

Oh, please.

She's an American doctor.

She may as well be a janitor.

No, Alexander will do what he always does.

Slum around with his new little plaything.

Just to make the family mad and then settle down with his own kind.

Fingers crossed.

Come on. We need to lock a little FaceTime.

I don't think they knew it was you.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Those two talk behind everyone's backs.

Really?

And I suppose you wouldn't do that to me, right?

No, never.

I will happily tell it to your face that you don't belong here.

Let me tell you what.

You Americans like to make deals.

So?

I'll make you one.

Look around.

If you can point out one person, just one person in this entire party

who is like you, I will leave Alexander alone forever.

Even the help is more accustomed to us.

You can play dress-up all you like, but even you know inside your heart

that you're not one of us.

You know what?

You're right.

I don't belong here.

See?

But I'm glad.

Because all I see are a bunch of people patting themselves on the back for being

lucky.

Lucky they were born into wealth.

I earned who I am.

Can you arrange to get me home, please?

Of course.

Right this way, ma'am.

Is everything all right?

Sorry, ma'am.

I'm told we have to wait here.

What? Well, whoever told you that, tell them now.

I'm afraid this is not someone I can say no to.

Thank you, Roger.

So... That's all you've got?

I'm not like those people in there.

I'm not gonna change who I am just to fit in.

No, you're absolutely right.

You're not like those people in there.

You have more breeding and intelligence and a lot of them put together Please

I've seen

Alexander grow up a great deal over the last few weeks and I believe that's your

influence.

I Didn't even think you liked me not like you Who do you think saved your jaw

when you called out your boss?

That was you?

Well, now, the Crown never intervenes.

But it has been known on occasion to lend clarity to a situation.

Thank you for that.

You know, the woman I saw in the hospital that day had a certain

elegance.

She told me no.

She told her boss no.

And just now, I believe I saw her tell a certain princess, no?

Oh, yes.

I know a gold-digging fortune hunter when I see one.

Which is why your giving up now is so disappointing.

See, I had you pegged as someone who would go the distance.

Even though I'm not from your world?

Oh, please.

No one talks about those born into my world.

They only talk about those exceptional enough to break in.

Do you love my son?

I do.

You know, there's a long history of monarchs choosing crown over heart.

I'd like to believe that my heart is not so cold that it can't recognize that the

two of you belong together.

Thank you.

Thank me by making my son happy.

Roger.

Let him back inside.

No, no, no, no. Heavens, no.

Bring the car around and take me to where I can get a nice juicy

cheeseburger.

Of course.

I wonder where she could have gotten to.

You know, it is possible that she left.

I think I heard her crying, saying that she didn't belong.

That doesn't sound like Tasha.

Come on.

Dance with me.

Hi. I'll happily tell you to your face.

This is my dance.

There you are.

I love you.

I love all of you.

With all my heart.

I love your compassion.

Your kindness And if you'd let me I'd like to tell you how much I love you

every day from now on I Think I would like that very much.

I love you, too

Shall

we

You know, I'm really gonna miss you around here.

It's been a pleasure getting to know you, Jeffrey.

Would you care for that dance?

Step on my feet and I'll make you disappear.

Seems worth the risk.

We're coming to you from the holiday event of the season hosted by the king

himself. Over there, you can see Prince Alexander dancing with whom we believe

to be his new girlfriend.

Stay tuned here on KCTV for all the live coverage of this royal event.

You

should

know, I'm not quitting my job.

What makes you think I'd ask you to do that?

If you're working at the hospital, it'll be easier for you to administer my new

charity. Is that right?

I'm thinking the name will be something simple.

Nothing boastful.

How about Prince Alexander's wonderful contribution to the world?

I think it's very subtle.
