The last time on the Royals of Malibu? The reading of your father's will is next week. It was tied up in some legal red tape, but we're finally able to read it. I think you should be there. Okay, I'll be there. Calibral! You are a liar! You said you were going to marry me!

You said we were going to have children! I don't recall those specific conversations. There's no such thing as taking it slow with the royals. You better end things with Reed before it's too late. That boy could walk all over you and you'd let him. I'm not going to break your heart, Alice and Claire. Then I'm not going to break yours either. Read Royal.

You and Read are a bad idea. The royals hurt people. Read hurts people we can't help it. Fuck you, fuck your threats. I told you I'm gonna get you the money so you can drop the fuck out of that! Who is he talking to? Read, what the fuck is going on? One note we should mention.

This episode contains adult language and subject matter that may not be appropriate for younger audiences. Please take care in listening. Cheers! Cheers! That you're gonna look so good tonight. Takes a pic of me please. So to have you can't remember what a smoke show I, and not cheat on me with some bicarious hope. Where? You a bicarious hoe at one point. Who side are you on? Okay, stick your tits out. Mmm, more.

I don't have more tits. You gotta learn your ankles, babe. Okay, now give me a laugh. Yes, they look so good. Okay, I took like 73 picks. Let me know if you want more. Holy fuck, I'm hot! Oh, should I edit out my pooch though?

Bitch, you better not. Facetune is so 2018. Excuse me, I'm trying to study. Shut up, Eastern. Like you've ever studied before in your life. You're right, I'm an extra-born genius. So are you two gonna have a pillow fight? Eastern, come on. That joke is tired.

Not to mention homophobic. To who? To Valerie? Oh, I didn't know you were gay, but I'm into it. Hmm, such an ally. We're going dancing in Hollywood, you should come and bring your wallet. Just read, no, you're going out drinking? Reed is not my keeper.

Not even a courtesy pin drop? Scandalist. I don't know. Both of you just stay out of it. Excuse me, but if you two are banging in my house, I'm already in it. But yeah, I'm down to go out. I'll go put on my dance and choose. Bye, Houston. Bye, Houston!

Bye, girls! Trouble in paradise? What? Why? No, everything's great! Except... Well, everyone keeps telling me that Rita's basically going to a stomp out my heart. Even his dad? Oh, Callum does not know. If he did, he would probably kill both of us. Yikes.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm rooting for you too. You are? Sure. You'd make gorgeous athletic babies with great apps. Oh my god. You're deranged. Ha ha ha ha! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Excuse me! Excuse me! Oh my god! I can move! Fuck!

I can finally breathe! Valerie! Where are you? I'm here! Oh my god, I thought I'd lost you! I said I'm right here! So what do you keep looking for? You know who! I hope be here! Okay, let's go upstairs to the DJ booth. I want to get on stage Oh, this will be girl. You are doing too much Suddenly I feel a hand come from behind and wrap around my waist. Having fun without me?

I recognize Reed's expensive cologne before I even turn around. My heart starts beating faster when he smiles at me and pulls me close. Are you stalking me now? Baby, I can't resist you. I press myself up against Reed, feeling the heat of him radiating through me, and we dance slower than the beat of the music. I'm so glad you came. Even though you didn't invite me?

I guess I wanted to see you work for it a little. I'll do whatever you want, Ella. I wrap my arms around his neck and he kisses me long and slow and deep. I'm fucking melting. All the doubts and warnings from other people fade away. Ella! Hi! It's Val! Remember me, your best friend?

I'm gonna go get his drinks. No, no, no, no. Let me. I got it. What a gentleman! Um, just a coke for me, please, I'm DD tonight. All right, I'll be right back. Thanks. Oh, girl, you like him! You're drooling!

Where? Ha, ha, ha! I'm fucking with you! But holy shit, you're straight up hypnotized! Your eyes are all a focus shut up! Ha, ha, ha! Well, don't let me hold you back! Go get your man! I'm gonna go help him carry the drinks. Dick Mouse is gonna be dangerous!

I can't find read at the bar. Where the fuck did you go? Suddenly I feel someone trying to grind on me. When I turn around, it's some rando. Um, no thank you. Hey beautiful dance for me. No. Just one song. Hey, I said no! So gross.

Hey, did that guy just touch you? Yeah, hi. Where were you? Take this. Read I can't hold three drinks. I'll be, hi. Where were you? Take this. Read, I can't hold three drinks. I'll be right back. What are you talking about? It's fine. Read, stop! Hey, I chung.

Wait, let me talk to you for a second. Read, I said it's okay. What do you want? But she says no, it means no, okay? Read is caught up to the random guy and I can barely hear what they're saying over the music. You'll be shit inside with sideways for a week now. Wait! You better be able to fucking fact that right now.

Don't! I get it! I'll break you up! Let's go! Let's go! Yeah, let's go! Wait! No! Shit! Just enough! Alright, alright! It's okay, man. It's okay. I started it. You're going to kick me out.

You're both out of here. Yeah, kick me out. It's fine. Sir, he won't do it again. This was just a huge misunderstanding. This way, boys. Go. Where are you taking him? Reep, this is breaking me out! So, Ketch, go find Easton.

As Reed is dragged away, I scan the club, and I see Easton. He's getting hussled out back by two enormous shady-looking dudes. He looks even more scared than me. What the fuck did you do, Eastern? Oh, I swear to God, one of these royals is gonna get himself killed. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy.

I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy.

I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy.

I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'll text you! Eason is cornered in the alleyway by those two huge dudes, and he looks terrified. What's going on here? Send the girl back inside. Ella, get out of here. Eason, what did you do? Your friend owes me money. I told you, man, I got it some trouble last week, but I'll have it for you soon. Really soon.

What kind of man would I be if I let you slide, huh? It's just to take it easy okay, we're all friends here. How much? Ella, stop. I said how much. Eight grand. I have it. In my car.

I'll get it for you right now. You fucking shitting me? You wearing a wire or something? I'm serious. I have the money just don't hurt him. Huh? Lead the money. Just don't hurt him. Huh? Lead the way. Hey, keep your hands where I can see him. Don't be reaching in your pockets for anything, huh?

I'm parked right over there. I'll pay you back. I don't really care about that right now. I care about whether these guys are going to shoot you. I'm really sorry. I never wanted to drag you into this. Oh, hey, is this a slumber party? Huh? What are you whispering about? Hey chill man. Eason shut the fuck up! I like her.

It's in my trunk. Alright. Open it up. Hey, don't play with me or it's his ass. Hey Grant, you can count it. Eh, don't worry. If it's short, we'll let Easton know. Sorry, are we good? We're good. For now.

See you around, Richie Rich. Hey, pretty girl. Yeah? You shouldn't mess with guys like that. Guys that put you in harm's way? You shouldn't be scared of me. You should be scared of him. Thanks for the tip.

It's weird. Leave a message. Are you okay. No! No, I am not okay, Eastern. I'm sorry, but you shouldn't have stepped in. What was going to happen to you if I did it, huh? You'd be sleeping with the fishies? I don't know. And I was just supposed to let that happen. It's my problem, not yours.

It IS my problem! You and Rita are both my problems! Cut, what a mess. It IS my problem! You and Rita are both my problems! CUT WHAT A MESS! I just wanted to have a normal, fun night. I'm sorry, Ella. Save it. Hey. Oh, okay, there they are.

Val, you broke Rita out of jail. Yeah, they took my fake, though. What the fuck were you thinking, Reed? Oh shit, Ella's pissed. Hey, hey, it's cool. Security didn't even ban me from the club. you thinking, Reed? Oh shit, Ella's pissed. Hey, hey, it's cool. Security didn't even ban me from the club. Are you kidding me? Can we just go home, please?

I call shotgun. You boys are in trouble anyway. I'm okay, good at this now. I should be a DJ. This song is killing my boss. Well, good thing this is your place. Bye. Don't be too hard on them. Bye guys!

Bye, Val. See ya. Night. Bye, Val. Love you. One of you has to sit in the front. I'm not your chauffeur. I think I need to lay down. I'll come up.

Easton's passed out in the back, so I tell Reed what happened in the parking lot. I can tell he's upset, but he stays silent. Typical. He's upset, but he stays silent. Typical. Oh, what? Man, this angle is gonna suck. I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah, see you tomorrow. Bye, Eastern. I'm so mad. I know. At both of you.

I know. So what the fuck was that? I'll talk to Eastern. I swear. He's spiraling. Yeah, Eastern needs therapy or rehab, but I was talking about you. You mean the fight? Yes, I mean the fight.

You trying to jump some random guy just because he was being sleazy? Welcome to every bar everywhere. You don't think he deserved it? Of course he deserved it. But you don't deserve all the problems you create for yourself when you lose control like that. I don't deserve it either. Our entire night got fucked. I just get so mad. You get triggered.

Yeah, I guess. It's a trauma response. You get pissed and you just flip out. I know it feels like you can't help it, but... But it's not okay. It's dangerous, Reed. And it scares me. Okay, so you have to figure this out.

It won't happen again. I don't know if I can believe you. Hey, you're important to me, Ella. I don't want to put you in danger. I want you to feel safe with me. Okay. I want to trust you. Even though I think I shouldn't.

Come here. Let me make it up to you. Yeah. How? Hmm. Readly and sober and starts kissing my neck. You know, we haven't christened your new car yet. How come I can never stay mad at you?

It's probably my charming and bubbly personality. Oh yeah, that must be it. Definitely no crabs or my jaw. Or your arms or your hands. These hands? You have really good hands. You have strong hands. Get over here. Reed pulls me on top, so I'm straddling him.

Take this off. Now, please. And just like that, all my anger fades away. Reed, what are we going gonna do about Euston? Please stop talking about my brother. Hey, hey, hey, you're gonna leave a hikki. I like when you get shy. But as I melt into read again,

I'm actually wondering what we're gonna do with him. Hello everyone, I'm Larry Hoffman and I'm representing Steve O'Hallarins' last will and testament. Mr. Royal, Miss Ella O'Hallarins. Sing clear. I'm Ella Sing clear. She didn't take her father's last name. Right. Well, you both can have a seat. We'll begin in a moment. Hey, don't be nervous. There's nothing to be nervous about, right? I mean, my dad didn't even know me.

I'm only here for whatever legal reasons. Well, here's in this achievable little reunion. Dina, Brooke, what are you doing here? I'm supporting my friend. I thought you two hated each other. Turns out we have a lot in common, actually. Ahem. Are we all gathered?

Yes. Unless there are any more of Stephen's illegitimate children, I should be expecting. That's enough, Dina. Ahem. I will now begin the reading of Steve O'Hallarine's well. I, Steve O'Hallarine, a resident of Malibu, California, declared this to be my mother.

Most of Steve's will is in boring legal jargon that has nothing to do with me. A bunch of at first possession of the third party of state or interlocutors appeal the trustee's privity. But then several very boring minutes into the reading. I suddenly hear. All of Steve Ho Halorin's assets will be left to Ellison Claire. That I realize Steve left his entire estate liquid assets, stocks, property, and company shares, Doc's property and company shares to me.

To me? This is ridiculous. Absolutely criminal. Steve, look, everything to me. Yeah, that's correct, Ella. We'll be in touch soon to schedule the transfer of the assets. Callum, as her legal guardian, you'll need to accompany her for all meetings.

Right, Callum, can he go now? Sure. We can leave. Thank you, Mr. Ophan. And where do you think you're going? Dina calm down. I'm sorry, but your grievances with Steve, not me, and definitely not with Ella. Oh, you're a wretch.

Callum, I know you did this. You should respect Steve's wishes. It's not like you need the money. He never even met you. He never called you, wrote you. He never even mentioned your name. And yet he left everything to me. So I guess that says a lot about you. Oh, you conniving little brat.

Enough, Miss Weyella. Calum, don't you think you at least owe me a dinner to talk about everything? He doesn't owe you anything, Brooke. Not after this. I thought I could trust you. I'm going to sue all of you. She's fucking crazy.

Diana isn't used to not getting her way. What the lawyer said... Is that for real? It's legally binding. I'm... A millionaire. You're a multi-millionaire, Ella. Everything will be held in a trust until you turn 18.

Then there will likely be some stipulations you don't spend it all at once. There may be a few lump sums over the years. And we'll want to discuss your ownership in the real estate firm. My head is spinning. Is this really happening? Anything you want in this world, you can have. Dino will definitely be coming after me. These people think that being rich can give you whatever you want.

But looking at what they've made of their lives, I'm not so sure I agree with them. Being rich can give you whatever you want, but looking at what they've made of their lives, I'm not so sure I agree with them. Right now, I just wanna go home. Okay. Only one month so you have in your head and that's you. You're not even fighting and bracing the world shade of blue. They can't hear you screaming. Night may turn to life. On the season finale of The Royals of Malibu. Holy shit, I'm rich now and I have a boyfriend!

This is a lot. Ella's life has forever changed. Again, first world problems much. Malibu actually kind of feels like home now and I haven't had that in a really long time. $100 million will do that. But there's one more royal secret that Ella could have never expected. The old Ella didn't trust anyone.

She was just waiting for people to lie to her or betray her. And even if Eason and Reid are lying, they wouldn't hurt me, right? Ella, may I do something wrong? Why don't you go ask your son? I tried so hard, but I just don't belong here. You won't believe how this season ends. Don't miss the next episode of The Royals of Malibu. The Royals of Malibu is a production of diversion audio
