Are you trying to tell me something?
Man: Ava! Where are you?
I'm up here, Eugene!
Come on! What are you doing?
People will be arriving soon.
I'm expecting a big crowd.
I guess there's no accounting for taste.
It's art, Ava.
I just-- I feel like there's something's missing
from these pieces, you know?
Yeah. What I do know is that this work sells.
And even the artist can't explain
why it's worth this much money.
Alright.
What is going on with you lately?
Uh... I don't know.
I'm-- I'm sorry. I just-- I don't feel like myself.
Yeah. I've been thinking about that,
and you, my girl,
you need a vacation to face what you've been through.
Where would I go?
Hello? Whatever happened to your cruise that's all paid for?
You mean my honeymoon cruise?
Yeah. Why let it go to waste?
Eugene, there's--
Ah. It's been almost a year, Ava.
You need to get out there again! (barking)
My wedding was called off
one week before walking down the aisle.
That's kind of hard to get over.
And anyways, the trip expires in two weeks,
and I have my weekend classes at the Children's Hospital, so--
I'll teach them for you.
- Really? - Yeah.
You need this.
(chuckling) And who would I get
to go with me this last minute?
Cruises are a great way to meet new people, Ava!

Oh, and-- (clearing throat) --by the way,

Good morning, Your Highness.
Good morning, Reynolds.
Working on the gala?
Yes. Yes. I've chosen some lovely paintings

just lying here collecting dust. It's such a shame.
You know that there's no more room on the palace walls.
Look at this.

It's called The Brink.

I'm sorry, Father.
It won't happen again.
That's what you said the last time.
This is about perception.
People look up to us.
We're royals. We don't embarrass the family,
and we don't get speeding tickets.
Well, that's because none of you drive.
All right. I have fun,
but I also work hard.
You know much I contribute to our charitable efforts.
József's been a big help sourcing items
for the gala auction.
Karl: And it's appreciated,
but this is much bigger than that.
You're next in line to be king,
and we can't keep going round in circles like this.
If you're not willing to settle down like Max,
find a suitable partner--
We have the royals from Denmark
coming to stay with us this week. I told the king and queen
that József would entertain Princess Gudren.
Bless you, Mother, but I don't want to be set up.
But thank you.
Then you need to think about your future,
your place in this monarchy.
I suggest you take some time away from the palace
before you give me your answer.
An answer, Father? For...?
For whether you wish to be the future king.
You have two weeks.
But that's such a big decision, Father.
Can't it wait? The gala's in two weeks,
and József still hasn't secured all the auction items.
I've made up my mind.
May I interject with a possible solution, Your Majesty?
Of course, Reynolds.
The paintings are from the royals in Germany and Austria.
I happen to know of a cruise along the Danube
that stops near the palaces.
- Oh, a cruise sounds fun. - (chuckling)
You see, I could secure the auction items in person
and take some time to think.
Slay two dragons with one sword, if you will.
I like it.

The captain is a former colleague of mine.
Is he trustworthy?
We don't need any more headlines.

What if one of them recognizes him?
Oh, no. I'm barely recognized outside of Baldonia.

I love it.
Castles are also symbols of power and authority.
Maybe hundreds of years ago.
Maybe still now.
Well, I think it's great the royal family's sharing this.
The art is-- It's magnificent.
Could you imagine managing a place like this?
It's like one giant gallery but with no bias, no agenda.
All you need is a ticket and an open heart.

Yeah. Opening these doors is a gift to the world,
a connection to the past.

The stuffy kind.

It's in the lower level of the castle.
Oh, I'd love to see that. Do you mind if I join?
Uh, I don't think you'd like it down there.
It's very grim.
Very gloomy.
Perfect. A real castle experience.
Okay. (chuckling)
Um, one moment, Ava.
I have a business question for Joe.
Of course.
- What are you doing? - Well, I can't tell her now.
Alright. I'll handle it,
but we should have a code word if the queen shows up.
"Regal." "Regal" is the code word.
Ah, it looks like the curator needs another 10 minutes.
Why don't I meet you down there?
I'll get her to send an escort.
Sounds great.
Joe: Thank you, Reynolds.

I wonder if this was a dungeon.
Was?
You know, they say
that the restless spirits of criminals and monsters
still roam these tunnels to this day.
- They do not. - Oh, they do.
Watch out!

That was good. That was good.
But actually, you know,
criminals would have been locked up in the tower,
not the dungeon, so...
- Much better. - Mm-hmm.
Ah. Welcome to the chamber.
This is where they keep their archival pieces.
Uh, where's the curator?
I was hoping to meet her.
She had to go.
You know how it is when the queen calls.
But she said these are the two paintings
you can choose from when you're ready.
(quietly) The queen was just here.
Just don't take too long.
I'll, um... in case she comes back.
Reynolds, we're fine.
Until you're not.
Ava: Look at all this stuff.
Hundreds of years of artifacts,
gifts, and weapons.
Such a shame it's just sitting here collecting dust.
That's why I always say.
I mean, all art should be admired, shouldn't it?
Should we take a look at these?
Go ahead.
Is that a Beracelli?
And a Conrad? Joe, you could get millions
for either one of these!
How did you convince the royals to donate?
Well, I used my family's connections,
and I, uh, assured the royals
their donations would go to a good place.
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm drawn to this one.
There's a sort of mystery about it, isn't there?
Mm-hmm. On this side,
the birds and the dark sky
are perhaps symbols of emotional distress,
but there's a contrast.
Yes. On this side, the flowers growing,
the town rebuilding,
it feels more like hope.
Exactly. A duality of existence.
Like it's connecting us to something bigger.
(Ava chuckling)
You know, I would've just thrown a dart
to choose between these two.
The way you just sized it up--
Well, so did you.
Well, because of you.
Did you decide?
Oh, yes. This one.

I hope you get to spend more time together.
Yeah. I still can't figure him out, though.
How do you mean?
Well, maybe I'm over-analyzing.
I do that a lot these days.
But we were having a moment with the paintings,
and suddenly, he wanted to leave,
like, in a hurry. It was strange.
Maybe he realized you needed to get back to the ship.
I mean, that happens sometimes with our passengers.
They get all caught up in the amazing ports,
and all of a sudden, it's a race to the ramp.
Maybe you're right.
He seems like a good guy.
It's just a hunch,
but if you two are getting along well,
I wouldn't overthink it.
Thanks, Teddy.
Reynolds, checking in to see how things are going.
Did József secure the painting today at Roth Palace?
Yes, he did, sir.
I think you'll be very pleased.
Wonderful.
And the other part of the trip?
I'm working on it, sir.
Is there a problem?
A small distraction,
but actually, Prince József's just--

Of course. It's what I do best,
but don't you think it's time to tell her, sir?
I can see you're growing close.
I will. I just need to find the right... moment.

what with my situation and with her past.
You want me to whip up a psychological profile?
No, Reynolds.
Okay. How about a drink?
Now, you're talking.
Oh. Thank you.
The secret to a good martini is...
orange bitters in mine, please.
Betty: (chuckling) For a second,
I thought you were going to say--
- (imitating Sean Connery) - -"Shaken, not stirred."
A martini and a British accent

Are you?
Well, I do have the dry wit and--

Ava! Come join us!
Ava: Ooh, martinis.
I'm in.
Do you have any chartreuse?
Joe: Chartreuse. Interesting choice.
It gives it a certain elegance.

I always used to push my fancy creations
on all the beer drinkers.
Bartending, eh?
Yep, for four years.
Those tips helped pay my way through school.
Admirable.

Yeah, and this one sure did. Free martinis.

Ah, yes, yes.
Myself, I've always been partial
to the time out technique.
What's that one?
Oh, you throw the paint everywhere,
and you get put in time out.
(Ava chuckling)
Yes. I don't always, uh, color between the lines.
Well, it's better than coloring in the lines.
I just bottle everything up inside
and pretend everything's okay.
Joe: Mm.
Uh, you said your, um, fiancé
forced your hand.
What happened?
Um... it started with a promotion
Simon got a month before the wedding.
One day, he came over
and told me we were moving to New York.
I have no problem picking up and moving to a new city,
but what I do have a problem with
is he never even asked me if I wanted to go.
So you called it off.
Not immediately.
I mean, I had my dress.
Gifts were showing up at my apartment every day.
But it definitely got me thinking.
And what did you do?
I asked him if I was the love of his life.
He paused.
That's all I needed to know.
Wow.
Any regrets?
It's more like I doubted myself.
Mm. Self-doubt, it's--
it's part of the journey, isn't it?
It's how we grow from it that really matters.
Ava, I hope you know that your worth
is not defined by one man or one moment.
It's defined by the incredible person you are.

Ah. Danke.
Anyways, I have this crazy idea.
Well, I love crazy ideas.
You know how we were talking about the artist Tobias Hofler?
(coughing) Uh, y-yes.
He once turned down a hundred thousand euros
for a painting.
Said the higher the price tag,
the lower the integrity of his work.
He sold it to a local library for one euro.
Well, that's certainly making a point.
And the point is,
he tries to keep his work away from the scene,
the-- the more pretentious side of the gallery world.
He just wants people to enjoy it.
That's admirable.
That's the kind of artist I want to work with,
someone who wants their art to be shared
and appreciated by real people.
When I was in college,
I told myself one day I was going to meet Hofler,
and right now, I feel like if I could just find him,
I don't know. Maybe that could be my blank canvas.

He was pretty wild, too.
Father? Really?
Oh, yes.
How did they work through it? They were so close.
Compromised, and your father came to realize
how important the role of king is,
how much it means to your family, to the country.
It's a massive responsibility.
More importantly, Sir, it's an honor.
One bestowed on very few before you.
To be or not to be king.

Hopefully not that tormented, Sir.

No one sees me as a person.
But she does.
With her I can be just Joe.
And now, yes, now I'm worried about how she'll react,
how mother and father will react.
Because they have always had a very specific idea
of who I should end up with.
Someone like, you know...
Princess Gummy.
Gudren, and trust me, she's not your type.
Look, best advice, just be honest.
Get it all out in the open as soon as possible.

Has Joe made you feel that spark again?
He has.
Then every minute spent with him is worth it.
Don't worry about the future.
Just focus on the right now.

He's even tried inviting her to the gala.
It's a shame.
He really seems like he's in love.
I know.
You know, maybe there's something I can do.

Captain: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you from myself,
our cruise director, the one and only Teddy,
and our very special Emerald Sun crew
for this fabulous cruise along the Danube.
I always love these trips and the people I meet,
but this one, I have to say,
was very, very special.
Good luck as you continue your journey on from here,
and hopefully one day our paths will cross again.
Thank you.
(All applauding)
I'm sorry about everything.
Thanks, Teddy.
Teddy: You two were happy together.
Everyone could see that.
But it wasn't real.
Have you thought that maybe, at the heart of it,
it was real?
I mean, how many chances in a lifetime do you get
to be invited to a palace by a prince?
You should go to the gala.
Oh. (clearing throat)
A special delivery arrived for you.
It's been sent to your cabin.

Katrine: "Dear Ava, I'm Jozsef's sister-in-law Katrine,
and although I haven't met you,
I can see how much Jozsef cares about you.
I wanted to reach out to tell you how much we were
all looking forward to meeting you.
I took the liberty of sending some gowns,
because I wasn't sure you'd brought one for the occasion.
We hope to see you soon. Katrine."

You look ravishing tonight.
Oh, Reynolds. Thank you so much for inviting me.
This is the first royal gala I've ever been to.
You fit in perfectly.
(laughing)
Stay, Betty. Stay for a while.
Let's get to know each other.
Oh, so tempting,
but I have to get back to the ship for the next cruise.
I shall miss you.

We're glad you're here, son.
Thank you, Father.
I've come to a decision after a great deal of thought,
and it's a decision that I think will best work for this family
and... and for me.
You have?
I think Max will make a perfect king
and Katrine an excellent queen.
They were made for it.
You're sure about this?
I am.
Max?
I'd be honored.
Well then, it seems we have our decision.
I'm proud of you, son.
Both of you.
As am I.
Of course, you will always retain the title of prince,
assuming you want it.
I think I'll need it for an idea I have.
- What is it? - All the art that we have
and the historical pieces just sitting in storage.
What if we opened a national gallery here in the palace?
We should be sharing our history with the world.
Not a bad idea.
I like it.
We'll talk after the gala.
All right.
No sign of Ava.
No. Not yet, I'm afraid.
Would you mind if I borrowed him for a moment?
Why? What's going on?
Just trust me.
All right.
♪
You're stunning.
You-you've met my sister-in-law, Katrine.
Yes, thank you for making this happen.
Katrine gave you quite the reference, Jozsef.
Uh...
You made quite the impression, Ava.
The woman who's captured our son's heart.
It's so nice to meet you, Your Majesties.
May I?
She's lovely.
Yes, she is.
♪
Thank you for giving me a second chance
to earn your trust.
Can we say that this is our first date
or a blank canvas?
This is quite the first date.
Well, I hope there will be many more.
I know you're scheduled to go home tomorrow,
but maybe you'd like to stay?
Get to know my family, get to know me.
I can't imagine my life without you, Ava.
I can't imagine anything without you.
Well, you could visit Chicago.
I can show you The Bean.
You could show me The Bean?
I have no idea what that means, but yes, please.
I would love to come visit Chicago.
♪
You've made me the happiest man in the world, Ava.
There's one more thing I'd like to show you.

Max and Katrine gifted it to us.
And I know the perfect place for it.
All you need is an open heart.
Thank you for opening mine, just Joe.
