You'll get no respect in this court.
You accept it and you move on.
By marrying me.
I always wanted to be royalty.
You're nervous.
You wanted my answer.
I'm in.
Deep as you need me.
Could you imagine if your father saw these?
He'd have my head.
And I should tell your father about us now.
You can't.
I already live with god's disappointment.
I can't live with my father's.
What is your deepest secret?
I could keep nothing from my king.
I've been lying to you.
I told my dad everything.
It began with the charter...
Stolen.
[Broken glass, alarm wails]
It contained our history.
Signed by our elders.
Telling the story of our liberties and our pride.
And it was taken.
From that day on, it was as if a new story had begun.
By the order of the king, I endeavor to write it.
Times had already changed.
New relationships born in hope, now challenged.
Broken trust in need of repair.
In sixth grade, we took a class trip
To see the charter.
Who woulda stolen it?
I don't know. But I hate them.
The people will be devastated.
Who could have done this?
The southern tribes have always
Remained hostile to the crown.
We believe it's the work of criminal factions
Along the southern border.
Wiretaps suggest the charter is in route
To the ekron black market hub.
Our national pride in the hands of thugs.
We've gone to war over less insult.
If it's a fight they want we'll bring it to them.
Won't we, captain Shepherd?
Leave us.
Perry, stay.
Step up, captain.
My advisor.
You and I are gonna make this tragedy into an opportunity.
You will go south and do whatever is necessary
To bring back what was stolen.
Sir, I know I lied to you about me and michelle.
I know that was wrong.
I'd do whatever it takes to earn your forgiveness.
Prove you're better than the lie.
The charter was stolen.
Bring it back.
As you ask.
You will go now.
Telling no one.
Not your family. Not michelle.
Supported only by your wits, a gun,
Some money, and a phone, should you wish
To call and declare failure.
Succeed and story will remember you.
And you'll have my forgiveness and my daughter.
But come back empty-Handed and that's all we'll see.
Empty hands.
Yes, sir.
Well, then.
Off you go.

A dangerous journey, embarked on with bravery.
Days passed without word of the charter.
Two weeks and no news from captain Shepherd.
Dangerous country, our southern border.
Perhaps he doesn't return at all.
You don't sound concerned.
Your faith was misplaced.
All faith is misplaced.
His lie belies his ambition whether he knows it or not.
But I see it.
What of the charter?
To hell with the charter. Today we start a new one.
It's time for me to be the hero of my country again.
No, sit!
Sit.
I owe my country an apology.
The theft of a national treasure reflects not only
On security but on me.
The loss? A lesson...
Not to let stagnate a country that should.
Day I make amends.
The charter spoke of ideals.
Perry, article five.
"Never to mistake yesterday's glory
"For tomorrow's security, but to always exercise
"Genius, judgment, and hope.
"Never to rest assured of what we have
But to imagine--"
"But to imagine what we have yet to achieve."
So let us imagine. Example.
Energy.
How do we achieve a 100%, self sufficient,
Clean-Energy fueled gilboa?
Don't be shy.
Gimme--Gimme some ideas.
Resume renovation at pella dam.
Plan for wind farms on the planes of dan
Is in research stages.
Resume. Accelerate.
Talk to the young.
Learn to think how they think.
Perry...
Start a new book.
One to be read 1,000 years from now
About what began here today.
How we found and followed a vision.
The book of silas.
Stitch the waistline tighter.
I wanna lead with my best assets.
Ahh.
Well, what do you think, darling?
I don't.
Isn't that the point of being the groom?
All you have to do is show up and slide on the ring.
Speaking of which, I should have a proper rock.
We have plenty of stones in the treasury.
I already found a suitable diamond.
My last trip to austeria. 20 carats.
Perfect for when they announce the engagement.
Seeing the gown before the wedding.
No mind for superstition.
Well, young wives have nothing to fear
From old wives' tales.
They look at her and laugh.
Huh?
You had an eye on greatness and the grip to hold it
And you'd let a quarrel with me pare you to a laughing stock.
You had a more interesting weakness than spite.
Did I lose more weight?
Just drops off me when I'm happy.
You blackmailed him into this.
Jack accepted my proposal freely...
Happily once he saw the damage it would do you.
It will never happen.
Of course it will.
I'm his only chance at happiness left.
I know exactly what Jack is and I don't care.
With me, Jack can be king by day
And a bad boy with whatever boy he wants at night.
I might even join in.
When I marry Jack and knock out an heir,
That will make you, what?
The royal granny?
While I take your place...
As queen.
I'm off to austeria to buy a ring.
Perhaps I'll pick you up something...mother?
Bourbon
You hear a lot tending bar?
People pay twice that to keep me quiet.
I used to work in a garage.
I know what it's like to be invisible.
People forget you're there.
They say things.
Trust me. You're not that anonymous.
Errand boy for silas combing the south
Looking for the charter.
Hitting every place that moves product.
Go home... before you get hurt.
What you're looking for,
You're asking the wrong people.
Are you the right one?
He'll talk to them.
Let them know you're shooting straight.
Don't worry.
Nobody here likes trouble.
[Whispers] it's that guy I was telling you about.
He's got a lotta cash.
Call ashkelon before we make a shipment.
How much?
Do you have the charter?
No, we don't talk until we know what you have.
Okay, okay.
Do you have it?
Maybe I have it.
Maybe I don't.
Some hero.
You see how much we can accomplish?
All it takes is a clear mind and a path
Cleared of obstruction.
My country is content.
Jack engaged to be respectable.
Engagement tonight.
You didn't ask me to get your gift yet.
Oh, I have better than a gift to offer.
Thomasina...
Who's that woman?
She's there every day just standing there.
Like a bitter almond in the cake.
That's David Shepherd's mother.
What does she want?
You wish her removed?
It's a public space.
You haven't eaten in days.
Take it.
You need your strength.
Eat. Have some coffee.
You followed me to the docks?
Couldn't just let you die 'cause you're an idiot.
I don't see any sign of that abating
Since you're determined to find ashkelon.
Ashkelon?
Is that who has the charter?
Just the word that's where it went.
But you shouldn't concern yourself with that.
Silas...
He sent me to find it.
Silas?
Isn't worth your next trip to the toilet.
Why?
Because of what he did to your father.
My father... fought in silas's army.
The 808th.
I was on the southern front
When he was wounded at somas.
No.
My dad...
He fought on the northern front.
Wounded at foxland.
We fought up north till we got the order.
A few border towns were sympathetic to gath
Silas wanted an example made.
So he sent our unit to torch a village
And scare the rest.
To kill your own?
We refused the order.
Silas wouldn't let that stand.
We had to die.
We were dropped defenseless and alone
In the middle of heavy combat.
Your father got shot while tying off my leg.
Silas would never do that.
Silas sent your father
To get killed, David.
Just like he sent you out on this mission to get killed.
Now you think about that before you do anything else
For that bastard.
I'm gonna need something stronger than coffee.
Do you have anything?
I'm a bartender.
Your son keeps us waiting at his own engagement party?
Or perhaps it's the future princess?
Let her have her moment.
Ah.
At long last...
I present to you...
My future bride, lucinda lton.
A shame what happened to katrina ghent.
Oh, it's a tragedy.
But anyone foolish enough to drive
Those mountain roads of austeria--
Or underestimate the mother-In-Law.
Jack and lucinda.
We are all terribly envious.
Not because you're royal and beautiful and in love,
But because you are just beginning.
And what's more enviable than that?
May your every day be a beginning.
We wouldn't be here without you, mother.
If I wake up and this is dream,
I'm never go g to sleep again.
Sir?
Lucinda, you reset the bar on lovely.
Welcome to the family.
You'll find we're very warm.
Jack, I'm glad to see you're thinking about your future.
It'll come before you know it.
Your mother ordered the picture redone three times.
Too dark under the eyes?
It's a powerful likeness.
You're sacrifices haven't gone unnoticed.
Or your new discipline.
We've had difficult conversations.
I bade you retouch your image the same.
Feign lightness under the eyes and you did.
I answer to you, sir.
Can't have been easy...
Fabulizing on that scale.
Taking a new fiancee when you could have been free.
It wasn't for nothing...
Or for shame...
Or a lesson on the cruelty of being a king.
Well, you'll experience that soon enough.
Sir?
You heard me.
An engagement gift.
On the day of your wedding, I will stand before all
And designate this count a blood dynasty
With you as my heir.
The future king.
That if you want it so
With all that I am.
They'll get your likeness right the first time
And it'll hang here.
King jonathan of gilboa.
Trouble sleeping?
That bed just feels too empty.
That wine makes me sleep hard for an hour
And then toss and turn for seven after.
I'd take the hour.
Is something weighing on you?
There was a woman in the lobby
In unity hall today just standing there.
Well, what did she want?
No idea.
Can't shake the image.
Don't let anything bring you down.
You've been a new man recently.
Your new advisor has made you young again.
And once he's back, you'll be able to accomplish even more.
David.
I pass you and you are born flailing in blood.
I pass you again...
And you are at an age for love.
I never got to thank you for taking care of David.
Sending him on diplomatic training, I--
Just want you happy.
You've been telling me for years to live my life.
You were right.
No regrets... for your vow?
Dolls and stories.
Scared of the dark.
I couldn't stay a little girl forever.
I thought you might.
His heir?
Without supplication or a request.
A gift to be announced on the day of my wedding.
Hardly a present to finally get what's owed,
But surely changes our fortune.
And how is that?
I'll be king on my own soon enough.
Your coup--
We don't need to ally ourselves with the e my.
No innocent people have to die.
It may take more than a month like we want,
But it will happen.
We save all that blood.
You'll still be by my side as planned.
If you only had half as much mind as charm.
Your father has no intention of announcing anything
Or going anywhere, heaven or hell.
You've seen his lies.
This is different. He's--
Hey! I'm--
No one ever changes!
You were given an offer and you accepted.
In exchange, you ceded your right to whim.
The change of power happens on my clock,
Not his, not yours, with you at my side.
Silas falls and soon.
And be sure there will be all the blood required.
Only turning back now leaves you in the same ditch.
Get back to your...fiancee.
Get used to your life. [Knocks on window]
You're engaged now.
There were times the only answer would have been
To end the toil and be done with it.
Go back to what was.
But he pushed on.
And progress was made.
Steps taken against the wind
With hopes on success.
Despite everything.
A-S-H...
...k-E-L-O-N.
Edom's rail yards.
I'm tryingto track a shipment
That came in from shiloh a few weeks ago.
We just got a big shipment from shiloh.
Came through ekron. You got a tracking number?
Got a problem with your bike?
I need a ride to the rail yards.
Jack?
Lu-Lu?
Stu and I were just discussing some security issues.
I'm sorry.
We just got the wedding invitations in.
I wanted to show you.
That works.
Anything else?
You guys from ekron?
Yeah.
I know. Wrong country.
We dodged the draft a few years back.
Keeps us on the road.
Good boy.
Drinks all his milk.
Someone's yanking your leash.
Your neck must be rubbed raw.
You're a mess.
Feels like nobody's touched you in weeks.
You should ride with us.
I made promises.
I'm trying to get someone to trust me again.
If he was someone you should trust,
Would you be all the way out here cold and lonely?
I can't.
It's okay.
The rail yards.
Suit yourself.
What was that?
A good-Bye.
Don't worry about it. Rest.
You're on your way.
One and two and one and two--
Dad?
One and two and one and two and one and two.
Follow the time, David.
You know the meter.
One and two.
One.
Dad?
Is it really you?
You haven't learned your lesson, David.
My lesson?
Keep playing.
If you stop, I'll have to go.
One and two.
Look at you.
You have practiced.
But I failed.
Remember what I always told you.
If you find yourself lost, follow the time.
You'll find your way.
It's time you learned your lesson, David.
Follow the time.
Edom.
Which one?
Where's the charter?!
Where is it?
Go to hell.
Where is it?
It's shipping out any minute.
You're too late.
You'll never find it.
Your scores in protocol training were impressive.
A gift for remembering names. Now that's good.
You also have appointments this week.
Medical exam, psychological evaluation,
And background check.
It's all routine.
But if there is anything rattling in your cupboard,
Spare us the embarrassment.
Dear, you're blushing.
I flush when I talk about myself.
Well, it's hard to stay shy in this home.
A level of public exposure is to be expected.
Your periods regular?
I beg your pardon?
Your fertility...
At issue front and center.
Have you ever been pregnant?
No, but I thought once--
I'll be a good wife to Jack.
No.
You're mistaken.
You're not marrying Jack.
You're marrying his country.
You accept that ring, you become a vessel
For the propagation of his kind.
If you can't manage that, you will have failed
Your only employment.
The chef waiting in the kitchen.
Your choice on the wedding cake.
She's sweet.
Sweet people try hard.
You're taking a cudgel to an infant.
No.
I'm being honest with her.
We have three turbines down, sir.
Faulty placement caused stress from directional crosscurrents.
Faulty?
Initial research indicated wind patterns
Since found atypical for the area.
It's recommended we tear down existing turbines
And rebuild further east.
How can this not be the right thing?
This may not be the change the country needs.
Consider looking elsewhere for your success.
No, no, no. Push on.
I want this done.
The mother of the hero.
The hero of my son.
You've been waiting here some time.
Can I help you?
I only wait for David.
We wait on him too.
I'd be happy to send you word of his return...
Should he forget his upbringing and neglect
To tell his mother.
You sent him somewhere.
I know it.
You've done something to him.
If David was charged somehow...
I can assure you it was for a good cause
And you'll be proud.
You don't have good causes.
You pretend to be a good man
Like you pretend to be a young man.
But I don't wait here out of worry,
But to see it when he comes home victorious, which he will.
His course is set on something.
I tried to change it.
You set that monster loose.
And the shame of it is you and I
Will be the only ones who'll wish it never happened.
And we'll have to watch.
If you find yourself lost...
Follow the time.
You'll find your way.
You know the meter.
One and two.
Deuthermal drilling also on hold due to seismic disturbance.
Construction on the wind farms halted pending assessment.
At this time, a timetable for the king's renewal initiative
Remains...indefite.
You can still renew the land.
Perhaps it is not our energy that needs to be clean first.
What then?
Why does he reject all my offerings?
What is it?
It's the charter. It's back.
How?
Oh, mom.
You're here.
I just needed to see you.
I'm fine.
Let all know...
I sent captain David Shepherd...
To bring back what we had lost.
Our pride.
You called it the price of worthiness...
To be seen with your daughter.
I did.
Much to discuss.
Clear the boardroom!
Call the historical archives.
Perry...
Stay.
Must have been a hell of an adventure.
It tested my faith...
In many things.
Did you intend for me to rescue your charter
Or to die trying...
As perhaps you've sent others to die before?
I intended it a test of metlle.
No less than I would ask my own natural born son
To come out serving or dead.
Then here I am.
Here you are. My eyes opened.
To see my arms open wide
Rejoicing in your triumph.
I'm giving you leave to press any noble intentions
On my daughter.
Our country welcomes home its charter
And its hero.
It is the historian's compulsion
To look at events and see in them the story
As it needs be remembered.
As charged by the king, a new book did begin
And a new day did dawn.
And on that day, a leader rose
Whose name would be carried as long as there is wind.
One who suffered and stumbled but did not fall.
Not as silas would have it but as fate
Or necessity or god would.
It falls to me to write his story.
Do it.
Sir.
Is it gonna be like this
You going off and
Not being able to tell me where or for how long?
No.
No more secrets.
Captain Shepherd, you're under arrest..
Hey, easy...
It's gotta be a mistake.
There's no mistake, right from the crown.
Come with us now.
On what charge?
Treason.
This is a mistake.
Michelle, this is a mistake.
David.
