[CIARAN] I want mom home, too, bud. But mama’s too sick to come home right now, ok?

[indistinct chatter]

[knock KNOCK KNOCK]

[CIARAN] Come in.

[GRACE] Your Majesty, we’ve drafted a statement about Her Majesty. It just needs his approval.

[CIARAN] Alright, what’s it say?

[GRACE] “Her Majesty Queen Catriona, and her unborn baby, are in stable condition thanks to the great work from attending healthcare professionals. The King wishes to express his gratitude to well-wishers, but asks for privacy at this time.”

[CIARAN] Don’t mention the baby. Take that out and it’s fine.

[GRACE] Respectfully, sir, the team and I think it’s wise to mention the baby. One massive candid thing to subdue the press, and they’ll leave you alone for a little while.

[CIARAN] I said take it out. Catriona will announce it on her own time, do you understand?

[GRACE] Yes, sir.

[CIARAN] And I want you doing whatever you can to prevent leaks, understood?

[DEIRDRE] Honey? How is she?

[CIARAN] I’m not sure, really. The doctors, they’re confusing.

[DEIRDRE] I know… Honey, why don’t you go shower and eat something? I’ll sit with her, ok? You need to take care of yourself.

[CIARAN] I can’t. I have to be here if she wakes up. I can’t leave.

[DEIRDRE] She won’t wake up today, Ciaran. And you need to look after yourself. Cillian wants to see you, he knows something’s wrong.

[CIARAN] I- I know. How is he?

[DEIRDRE] He’s ok, the nanny is with him, I think Duncan and Connor are with him. But he’s smart, he knows this isn’t normal, no matter what we tell him.

He wants to see you, though. And I know Cat would want you to be with him. Not smelling like that, of course, but still.

[CIARAN] I know, but what if—

[DEIRDRE] I’ll stay here, ok? I’ve got you on speed dial.

[CILLIAN] Daddy!

[CIARAN] I’ve missed you!

[DUNCAN] How is she?

[CIARAN] Stable, and the baby is getting there.

[DUNCAN] That’s good, Ciar. I’m glad.

[CONNOR] When are you going back to the hospital? I thought you had a more important, dying wife to worry about?

[CILLIAN] Dying?

[CIARAN] Get out. Out.

[DUNCAN] Ciaran—

[CONNOR] No, Duncan. I’ll go. Happily.

[advisors speaking softly]

[CIARAN] I want to see my wife.

[NURSE] *sigh* Sir, I’ve told you, you cannot go into the OR. A nurse will come let you know of any updates.

[CIARAN] I have a right to see my wife—

[NURSE] Sir, you cannot and will not go into the OR. I’m sorry, but those are the rules.

[CIARAN] I am your king, goddamnit!

[GRACE] Sir, you should come sit down. I understand you’re stressed, but this…

[CIARAN] Yeah, yeah… I… I’m sorry I—

[CONNOR and DUNCAN] Ciaran!

[CONNOR] What’s going on?

[CIARAN] Some fucking guy, came at us in the park, he— he shot Cat, yelled something in Latin, I don’t— I don’t know. They’ve got the guy now, they’re questioning him or something.

[DUNCAN] Ciar, I’m so sorry, we should’ve been there with you guys—

[CIARAN] What, so you could get shot, too? I’m glad you weren’t. You’re here now.

[CONNOR] Ciaran?

[CIARAN] Mmm?

[CONNOR] I want to talk to you about something.

[CIARAN] Really? Right now?

[CONNOR] No, you’re right, I’m sorry.

[CIARAN] No, no. What did you want to talk about?

[CONNOR] I wanted to see what you could do about the tabloids writing about Evie.

[CIARAN] What?

[CONNOR] She saw an article about the family not liking her, mom in particular, and it upset her.

[CIARAN] Are you kidding?

[CONNOR] No, i’m not. She hasn’t even met any of the family until now, and they’re printing that you hate her!

[CIARAN] No, Connor, you seriously think right now is the time to bring this up?

[CONNOR] It’s important to me…

[CIARAN] I’m too busy caring about my fucking wife dying, Connor. This isn’t a problem for today.

[CONNOR] And I’m worried about my fucking girlfriend!

[EVIE] Connor, please—

[DEIRDRE] A tour? Already?

[CIARAN] Yeah. The team wants us to be relatable and attainable.

[DEIRDRE] Relatable? Attainable? Ciaran, we’re royals, we’re not supposed to be relatable and attainable.

[CIARAN] I know, mom. And that’s how it was for a long time, but things are different now. If we want younger people to like us, this is the way.

[DEIRDRE] Younger people always rebel. Then, they grow older and they love us.

[CATRIONA] This is what the team advises, and after some thought, I agree. Besides, Cillian hasn’t really been on a vacation before so it will be good for him.

[DEIRDRE] You’re taking Cillian? Are you sure you can handle it, Cat?

[CATRIONA] What? Of course I can handle it. You think I can’t?

[DEIRDRE] Well, I just meant it’s a lot of work, and Cillian is a very rambunctious boy…

[CATRIONA] Well, I can handle it, thank you.

[GRACE] The next matter is the family image. Approval is dipping following the coronation.

[GRACE] As a team, we’ve drawn up a royal tour. Just the two of you, establishing yourself as king and queen, and establishing Prince Cillian as heir.

[CATRIONA] Surely we don’t need to uproot Cillian.

[GRACE] It wouldn’t be for long. And looking at past tours and tours from other royal families, bringing him would ensure a rise in your approval ratings for awhile.

[CIARAN] Is the tour just to help ratings? There’s no way to do that without a long trip?

[GRACE] It will also serve as a distraction while Their Royal Highnesses Princes Connor and Duncan figure out their love lives.

[CIARAN] You have a good point, there.

[CATRIONA] We’d have to bring extra people with us to help with Cillian. The cost will go up and the press will scrutinize it.

[GRACE] You’d only need one extra person - the nanny - and the rise in cost would be minimal. Besides, we can organize family outings and this can double as a vacation.

[CIARAN] You’re going to have to come to terms with it, Cat. We’re going. Let’s discuss the details then, Grace.

[GRACE] Yes, sir. You’d start off in Alverness, then off to…
