Yeah!

Do what you wanna do

Be what you wanna be

Freedom's no mystery

Say what you wanna say

Tomorrow is another day

But here's the news

Nobody's stopping you

Do what you wanna do

Yeah!

Yeah!

Hey, you just...

Hi, Donny.

Hey...

Carter.

Right. How much?

Oh, no, no, no. No charge.

A deal's a deal.

Free bait in exchange

for never having to take the bus again.

Great.

-Carter, talk to you for a second?

-Yeah.

So, did he ask you

to that homecoming dance thing yet?

Dad! Don't embarrass me.

I'm your dad, it's my job.

Come home right after school.

We got a lot of work to do around here.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

Donny's driving us until I get

my new ride. Isn't that sweet?

That's sweet. There's no room for me.

Sure there is. Come on, climb in.

No, she's right. Brooke's already

wrinkling my after-lunch outfit.

No, I'm not!

Chelsea, this is high school, not Vegas.

You don't need a costume change.

Right.

But you might wanna think about it.

I'm sorry, Carter.

Hey, thanks for the bait.

-See you.

-Bye.

Do what you wanna do

Be what you wanna be

Freedom's no mystery

Say what you wanna say

Tomorrow is another day

I can't stand them.

They're such princesses.

You said that like it's a bad thing.

Carter, they're teenage girls.

They're probably just jealous.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're not.

It's Mason. Yes, sir.

No, sir.

Right away.

You're leaving again?

Two days, max. It's no big deal.

It's just a routine op.

Yeah, that's what you always say.

Just be careful. Okay?

Always.

You and me, pal.

You and me, Dad.

Her Royal Highness,

Rosalinda Marie Montoya Fiore.

Princesa de Costa Luna.

And you're walking, and walking as

your adoring subjects welcome you.

Dimitri, my coronation

is one month away.

-Why do we have to practice now?

-Ah!

The rehearsal is so that

everything will be perfect.

Princesa, what a beautiful

coronation dress you are wearing.

Who, may I ask, designed it?

You did, Mr. Elegante.

-So I did. I am brilliant, no?

-Yes.

Thank you for coming

to help Rosalinda.

Now that my husband

has passed away,

only she can become

queen of Costa Luna.

But it is so much

for someone so young.

And I'm afraid that General Kane

will take advantage of that.

No, I'll be here, Sophia.

I'll protect her like she's my own.

I know you will, Major Mason.

I know you will.

Sounds like your music.

Turn to face your subjects, Rosalinda.

Honored guests, family, friends,

I present to you Princesa

Rosalinda Marie Montoya Fiore,

heir to the throne of Costa Luna.

She is willing to be your queen.

If any person has a reason to object,

let them come forward and be heard!

I object.

The Princesa is too young to be queen.

Costa Luna and Costa Estrella

are two tiny countries

who must unite and stand together

against the world.

Therefore, for the good of both

our countries, l, General Magnus Kane,

declare myself El Presidente

de la Republica de las Costas.

Seize them!

-What?

-The time is now.

Go now with Major Mason. Go now!

Hurry, my queen,

we must go now.

Who are you?

Where are you taking me?

I'm here to protect you,

but you need to trust me.

But what about my mother?

She's going to meet us,

but we need to hurry.

-Are you all right, Mama?

-Yes, yes, darling, yes.

I knew General Kane

would try something like this,

so I made a plan to protect you.

You must trust Major Mason.

You must do everything he says.

Do you promise me you will do that?

-Yes, Mama, I promise.

-We need to move.

-Okay. Come on.

-Mama, where are we going?

No, not "we," mija. You.

The General will say

you abandoned the country,

but I must stay, so the people know

that you will return when it's safe.

No! Not without you.

Here.

So, no matter what happens,

you never forget you are a princess.

Don't worry, mi reina bonita,

we will be together very soon.

We gotta go now. Let's go.

Hurry up! Inside!

Go!

You will never find her.

And as long as she remains free,

there will be hope in Costa Luna.

I could not agree more.

But the Princesa is only a girl, madam.

She will contact her mother.

And when she does,

I will bring her back to Costa Luna,

where she will rot with her mother

in a tiny dirt cell.

You will both become a tragic symbol

of futility to those who would defy me.

Take her away!

What is this place?

You'll see.

Door opening.

Door closing.

What... Where am l?

Is this some kind of prison?

Not prison, protection.

Princess Rosalinda

Marie Montoya Fiore,

you are now in the safe custody

of the International Princess

Protection Program, the PPP.

I've never heard of it.

Nobody ever hears about us

until we're needed. Good work, Major.

Thank you, Director.

Level three. Security.

You'll be safe now, Princess.

How long am I staying here?

Until you're ready for stage four.

Stage four? What is stage one?

Extraction.

That is what brought you here.

-Stage two?

- Transition.

-Transition to what?

-Stage three.

Come inside, why don't you?

And I will explain everything.

Welcome, Rosalinda,

to the operational heart

of the Princess Protection Program,

a top-secret agency funded

by the world's royal families.

We are actively providing protection

to 29 princesses,

all of whom have been threatened

in one way or another.

-Chloe, may l?

-Of course, Director.

This is Princess Chandra.

Last January, Major Mason rescued

her from a politically-motivated coup.

We have placed her

where no one will find her.

Let's just say she's a little farther north

than she's used to.

-She is freezing!

-Probably. But she's safe.

Let's take a walk, shall we?

Please.

Chloe, report.

"Princess 383 has had

a successful extraction.

"She arrives at 01 00 hours.

"Princess 299 is still rejecting

all attempts at transformation.

"And princess 1 07 is

in need of our services."

What about me?

Where are you sending me?

Nowhere yet. First you must go

through stage three, transformation.

First, we start with the hair

and then the wardrobe,

until you are unrecognizable

as princesses.

No! Stop!

I do not know any of you people.

I want to speak with Major Mason.

I only trust Major Mason.

Is everything all right?

Take me back to my country.

Princess, I'm sorry, but General Kane

has taken control of your country

and assumed command

of its government.

-But I must go back.

-And you will.

As soon as we find a legal way

to remove him.

In the meantime,

you have to let us protect you.

But what about my mother?

Who's protecting my mother?

You are. As long

as you're in Princess Protection,

your mom will be safe. Please.

General Kane is hoping

you'll contact her

so he'll know where to find you.

What if he does find me?

He'll make an example of you

by sending you to prison

or a work farm.

And Costa Luna will become

part of his own personal kingdom,

with its true royal family

nothing but a memory.

Bottom line, if you care about

your country, and your mom's safety,

nobody can know who you really are.
