00:00:00.
00:00:28When I was seven, I had no memory of being six.
00:00:32It didn't matter.
00:00:34My parents adopted me because they loved me.
00:00:38And Aaron?
00:00:41Aaron took me in because he cared.
00:00:44But even then, I didn't know how much.
00:00:48As I carried him, so he would carry me.
00:00:52Through so much.
00:00:55This is only where it begins.
00:00:58Leah?
00:00:59Hi, Aaron.
00:01:00Where have you been?
00:01:02Where have you been?
00:01:04Getting shot in all sorts of weird places?
00:01:08Been installed as Major General in my house.
00:01:13I'm authority sector now.
00:01:15Sometimes that means taking some hits.
00:01:18Well, I would say congratulations,
00:01:20but I know you only probably got the position early
00:01:23because your father's health failed, too.
00:01:26Yeah, he's gone.
00:01:28Lester heard your parents were dead, too.
00:01:31And your aunt and uncle were taking you in?
00:01:33Well, since I'm adopted,
00:01:36my aunt and uncle didn't even see me as my parents' kid, so...
00:01:38Come home with me.
00:01:41What?
00:01:42Going from friends to being family
00:01:44isn't that weird of a leap, right?
00:01:47Okay.
00:01:54Scylla, I'm sorry I'm late.
00:01:56I was turning in my paper.
00:01:58You'll just have to catch up with us.
00:02:00Hey, this is my new best friend as of yesterday, T.
00:02:04New bestie, this is Leah.
00:02:07When was the last time I saw you?
00:02:09Uh, a few months ago?
00:02:11At your father's funeral.
00:02:13I'm so sorry.
00:02:14Don't worry about it.
00:02:15I'm over it.
00:02:16But he's your dad.
00:02:18Was my dad.
00:02:19You understand.
00:02:21When you work for the authority sector,
00:02:23you owe no time to family.
00:02:25Well, Aaron has plenty of time for...
00:02:27Aaron, Aaron, Aaron!
00:02:29Enough about Aaron.
00:02:31Don't talk to me about him.
00:02:33He has no time for me.
00:02:35Calm down, Benzo.
00:02:38I've got just the thing you need.
00:02:42Oh.
00:02:45Uh, none for me, thanks.
00:02:48Uh, none for me, thanks.
00:02:51Brendan, hi!
00:02:54Leah.
00:02:55Fancy seeing you outside the classroom again.
00:02:58You're not spying on me, are you?
00:03:00No, I'm not, I promise.
00:03:02And I did do my paper on the Civil War in Lisagor before I arrived.
00:03:07Great.
00:03:08And I'm looking forward to reading what you know about my mother country.
00:03:19So, who's the hottie, your boy?
00:03:23Oh, that's just Brendan.
00:03:25He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:28I think he likes you.
00:03:30You should show him your appreciation for all his hard work.
00:03:33Stella!
00:03:34Here's to being appreciated for all our hard work.
00:03:39Um, will you excuse me?
00:03:42I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:45Mm-hmm.
00:03:46The restroom.
00:03:48Right.
00:03:49Have fun.
00:03:51Um, will you excuse me?
00:03:53I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:56Mm-hmm.
00:03:57The restroom.
00:03:59Right.
00:04:00Have fun.
00:04:20What's the situation, report?
00:04:32We've traced the distribution of their new designer drug to this club.
00:04:36We were able to get a sample of it, and the lab boffins determined there are markers in the chemical composition which determine it's a Class VII.
00:04:44Dammit!
00:04:46What can you tell me about this mesmer?
00:04:48It's fast-acting, and it was originally developed as a date-rape drug.
00:05:00It raises libido, lowers inhibition, causes memory loss, and induces a potentially fatal brain fever in the victim.
00:05:08It also increases the sensitivity of the nerve receptors, causing intense sensations of pain and pleasure.
00:05:33So how does it work?
00:05:34You can't tell what's wrong at first.
00:05:37After all, starving is very different from just being a little hungry.
00:05:43And if you suddenly become a bottomless little pit of need, you might just jump anything with a pulse to see if it fills you.
00:05:54So pretty.
00:05:57We need a doctor!
00:05:59This is what I think it is?
00:06:01A doctor can't help her.
00:06:02What is it?
00:06:04Mesmer.
00:06:06Are you certain?
00:06:08As certain as I can be, without a blood test.
00:06:12Alright. You said the drug causes a potentially fatal brain fever?
00:06:17Look, if a doctor can't help her, then who can?
00:06:19What's the cure?
00:06:21There is no cure. No antidote. We can only mitigate these symptoms.
00:06:27Mitigate how?
00:06:30The only known treatment is skin contact. Lots of skin contact.
00:06:39I don't know if she's seeing anyone. We haven't talked about her love life in over a year.
00:06:45I have a suggestion.
00:06:47Look, it can't just be anyone.
00:06:50She's too precious.
00:06:52It has to be someone that she loves.
00:06:54You.
00:06:56I want it to be you.
00:06:59Only you.
00:07:06Are you certain?
00:07:08Help me.
00:07:11Do you know what this means?
00:07:13Yes.
00:07:17I'll be outside if you need me.
00:07:29Okay.
00:07:52I'm bored.
00:07:55Don't worry. I've got just the thing.
00:07:58This has all the benefits and none of the drawbacks.
00:08:02I'll even throw it in for free.
00:08:17Hey. You want to help me ride through this trip?
00:08:21Sorry, I don't offer those services.
00:08:26You smell just like him.
00:08:29I've got places to go, but I do have a couple of friends who are more than willing to help you out. For a price.
00:08:36Friends. Plural. Yes, please.
00:08:48It was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:09:06Everyone freeze! Authority Sector is securing the area!
00:09:12What's going on?
00:09:18Last night, the Authority Sector proceeded with a drug bust at a bar in the East End.
00:09:22Excuse me.
00:09:24They report that while their seizure of the drugs was successful, the leader of the ring remains at large.
00:09:29His true name is still a mystery.
00:09:31One of the people arrested at the scene is the daughter of a recently fallen Major General.
00:09:36University student Stella Shelley remains held for questioning.
00:09:41What? How dare they? Gary!
00:09:45Aaron better not have anything to do with this.
00:09:52I'm afraid that Major General Aaron Harold was in charge of the Raid Mom.
00:09:57It appears that Ms. Stella is being held in the same facility as last time.
00:10:02Call the lawyers.
00:10:05Yeah, thanks for the update. And send Leah my love- uh, let her know I will call and check on her. Later.
00:10:24Mrs. Shelley. What may I do for you?
00:10:27You can begin by explaining why you had my daughter arrested.
00:10:30Especially after you promised my husband that you'd take care of us.
00:10:34You know I can't comment on ongoing Authority Sector investigations.
00:10:38At the time of the arrest, I was unaware of Stella's presence at the site.
00:10:43Be that as it may, you could have done something to prevent her name from being released to the press.
00:10:47Do you know how I felt hearing about my daughter's arrest?
00:10:51Like she was a common criminal. It was an embarrassment.
00:10:54I'm sure it isn't Aaron's fault.
00:10:58I know. I put myself in a vulnerable situation.
00:11:03Sometimes I just get so upset about Daddy's death.
00:11:09I miss him so much.
00:11:12I'll see what I can do.
00:11:15Very well then. In the meantime, you must come to lunch at our place.
00:11:19Just to show we've put this shameful business behind us.
00:11:23Certainly.
00:11:28What happened?
00:11:30You were right, Ms. Jenkins. You had a very harsh encounter with a Class 7 drug.
00:11:35We just got the blood test result back.
00:11:38When we got the result back, we also found some antibodies that's fighting the aftereffect of the drug.
00:11:45I see.
00:11:48Lucky you.
00:11:50Lucky?
00:11:51Yes.
00:11:54Most people would need to be held for observation for weeks, but you're almost good as new.
00:11:58I am?
00:11:59Yes. I actually did a paper on this condition back in school.
00:12:03There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug.
00:12:06I see.
00:12:08I'm sure you're not the only one.
00:12:10I'm sure you're not the only one.
00:12:12I did a paper on this condition back in school.
00:12:14There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:12:18There's the monks of Ithbak, the old ostocracy of Lissagor, and the nudist colony in...
00:12:26If you're done with your examination, I'll see the two of you out.
00:12:30Anything for the Major General.
00:12:35So, what really happened?
00:12:43So, what really happened?
00:12:46Aaron treated you. Then he carried you home, and he delegated the mission to me. I finished the bust.
00:12:53Okay, I remember going to find you guys, and I remember asking him something, but I want to know what...
00:13:01We seized the contraband, but we failed to ID the ringleader. We know he got away...
00:13:08It wasn't what I was asking!
00:13:10I mean, it was, but it's not what I want to know first.
00:13:15I know. But you were in trouble, and we were short on time. Aaron did what he had to do.
00:13:24Hey, we never have to talk about this again.
00:13:31Don't we?
00:13:41What are you doing?
00:13:43I wanted to talk to you after class.
00:13:45What, so you can criticize me about how I'm not taking my studies seriously enough?
00:13:49Yeah, no thanks.
00:13:50You actually made some good points in your paper. You just, you didn't go far enough.
00:13:53You didn't cover half the required topics, and between that and the grammar, I just couldn't give you a better grade.
00:13:58Professor Alston hasn't looked at the grades yet. I could temporarily lose your paper for a couple of days.
00:14:05Really? Thank you so much. I'm going to get started right away.
00:14:12Hey.
00:14:14Cup teachers are a bummer.
00:14:16Oh, that. That was entirely my fault.
00:14:19Oh, really? Well, Aaron recently helped me out with a difficult situation.
00:14:24It's just a pity that he can't even exert a little influence on me.
00:14:28Really? Well, Aaron recently helped me out with a difficult situation.
00:14:32It's just a pity that he can't even exert a little influence to help you when some professor is giving you a hard time.
00:14:38It's not fair.
00:14:40You know, it strikes me. I don't know you as well as I ought.
00:14:45After all, you are Aaron's family, and who knows what the future holds.
00:14:50So, in order for bygones to be bygones, I got you a gift.
00:14:55Oh, there's no need.
00:14:57I don't have it with me now, but how about I stop by Aaron's house and stay an hour?
00:15:02Honestly, we're good.
00:15:05So ungrateful.
00:15:07Stuck-up bitch.
00:15:14How's two or three sound?
00:15:16Oh, perfect.
00:15:18Toodles.
00:15:26Leah!
00:15:28So good of you to wait for me.
00:15:30I didn't think you were still coming.
00:15:33I would never break my word.
00:15:46Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:15:50Oh, poor thing.
00:15:53It appears my gift is more needed than I thought.
00:15:58Uh, thank you.
00:16:00I'm sorry, I really think you should go.
00:16:02I've got some homework to get back to.
00:16:04Oh, don't be ridiculous.
00:16:06I want to see how it fits.
00:16:20Aaron!
00:16:22Stella, didn't expect to see you here.
00:16:24I hope we're still on for lunch tomorrow.
00:16:26Yeah, that's fine.
00:16:27Awesome.
00:16:28We'll be all so excited to see you.
00:16:31Oh my god, what'd you do to it?
00:16:33No, it was already like this.
00:16:35I just came out to show you.
00:16:36If you didn't like it, you could just say so.
00:16:38Or just accept it and not wear it.
00:16:41Honestly.
00:16:42What? No, I...
00:16:44Excuse me.
00:16:46I thought Leah and I could take a day to bond.
00:16:48After all, she and I both went through something so terrible.
00:16:52But it's like...
00:16:54Like she blames me or something, you know?
00:16:58But she would know better than that.
00:17:00Don't you, Aaron?
00:17:01Leah makes mistakes like anyone else.
00:17:03Oh, please ask that you give her the benefit of the doubt.
00:17:06And you're going to tell her the same thing?
00:17:08Yes.
00:17:09I'm going to tell her the same thing.
00:17:11I'm going to tell her the same thing.
00:17:13And you're going to tell her the same thing?
00:17:15Yes.
00:17:19I'm sorry, I have to go.
00:17:21We'll talk later?
00:17:31Yeah, um...
00:17:32We're just gonna go...
00:17:34Go do the thing.
00:17:35Yeah, because we had a thing to do later.
00:17:38And now it's later.
00:17:44I know I was short with you at my dad's funeral.
00:17:47It's okay.
00:17:50It's not.
00:17:51Daddy loved Aaron.
00:17:53He always knew that he would become part of the family one day.
00:17:56I just didn't think he'd die before he got the chance to see it happen.
00:18:00And I understand that Aaron needs some time to grieve
00:18:04before he and I can really become an us.
00:18:07You and Aaron?
00:18:09Look, I get it.
00:18:10More than you know.
00:18:12He's taken such good care of you.
00:18:14And he's strong.
00:18:16Powerful.
00:18:18Not to mention, he's everything.
00:18:20What are you talking about?
00:18:22For some of us, it's a babysitter.
00:18:24For others, it's a teacher.
00:18:26Or your mom's boy toy.
00:18:28The point is that we've all had inappropriate relationships.
00:18:31Inappropriate?
00:18:33I know I'm not that much older than you,
00:18:36I know I'm not that much older than you,
00:18:38so it can seem a little weird,
00:18:40but I can keep a secret.
00:18:42I am here to support you.
00:18:43Because you are Aaron's family.
00:18:45And I think he's going to miss you once you're gone.
00:18:51When I'm what?
00:18:56When I'm what?
00:18:59Gone.
00:19:00At least, I assume you'll be able to go.
00:19:03That's every goal for a serious university student, right?
00:19:07Go out in the world and work your own field.
00:19:10Yeah, I mean, I don't have any post-graduation plans yet.
00:19:14Okay.
00:19:16Well, my bad.
00:19:18I thought that bee was a fluke.
00:19:20I just know that striking out on your own can be really important.
00:19:24And you're going to need distance.
00:19:26Especially if Aaron encouraged you.
00:19:29Oh, no, he's not.
00:19:31I didn't mean to imply that.
00:19:33No, of course not.
00:19:35He's Aaron.
00:19:36Yeah, right.
00:19:37No, I mean, he's always been like a, you know...
00:19:40No, breathe.
00:19:41It's okay.
00:19:43Like a brother.
00:19:44I know.
00:19:45And, like, don't worry about the dress.
00:19:48I was mad about it before, but I'm not anymore.
00:20:01Is there something I should know about the lunch with you and Stella tomorrow?
00:20:22Uh, Mrs. Shelley invited me.
00:20:25She wasn't particularly happy about Stella's arrest,
00:20:28but I think the lunch is a chance to talk some things over.
00:20:31Well, her arrest was, like, five minutes long.
00:20:35This is Major General Shelley's family, Leah.
00:20:40He was dying when he asked me to take care of them.
00:20:43Going to lunch?
00:20:45That's, like, the least I can do.
00:20:46No, yeah, I know that.
00:20:49But I also know that Stella was one of the last people I talked to
00:20:53before I started to feel that drug.
00:20:56But he's still being appreciated for all our hard work.
00:21:08Do you think she did it?
00:21:09I think it's possible.
00:21:10Are you certain?
00:21:12No.
00:21:16You weren't the only one under the influence of something that night.
00:21:19So was Stella.
00:21:21Granted, she might have taken it herself,
00:21:25and I can understand why she might not want to admit that, but
00:21:29she's not our primary suspect.
00:21:31Who is?
00:21:32That TA who's been following you around.
00:21:35Brendan Martin.
00:21:39What? Brendan?
00:21:42Brendan?
00:21:44Are you serious?
00:21:45Yeah.
00:21:47Take a look.
00:21:49Security footage has him at the scene right before the raid.
00:21:53He's exiting, he's handling a lot of people's drinks,
00:21:56and then he talks to you.
00:21:58Barely a minute before you came to me.
00:22:00Brendan's not a criminal.
00:22:02His documentation has a lot of holes in it, Leah.
00:22:05Okay, well, that's what happens when you're a refugee from another country.
00:22:08Aren't you the one who told me that?
00:22:10Yes, but that's also what happens when you're a spy.
00:22:13Or, or, when you work for the biggest drug ring in Brazil.
00:22:17He does not work for a drug ring, and he wouldn't hurt me.
00:22:20How do you know that?
00:22:21He's my friend!
00:22:26I don't agree with you about Brendan,
00:22:30but I know you always have my best interests at heart, so.
00:22:33Always.
00:22:34I don't like when we fight like this.
00:22:37Me neither.
00:22:39Hey, do you remember when we used to have movie nights?
00:22:42Yeah, and you hogged all the popcorn?
00:22:44I did not!
00:22:45But I will make the popcorn if you choose the movie.
00:22:52Stella, pour me some tea.
00:22:54Why?
00:22:55Gary has the day off.
00:22:57Also hand me the report behind you.
00:23:03Now, Aaron,
00:23:06I'm glad you've taken the steps to make things right
00:23:09with Stella and the authority sector business the other day.
00:23:12Mrs. Shelley, I'm really sorry about-
00:23:14You're sorry for a loss, yes.
00:23:16Joseph was always a workaholic,
00:23:19so as a fellow Major General, you knew him better than any of us.
00:23:22If there's anything that I can do-
00:23:24Oh, there is.
00:23:26You promised to take care of Stella
00:23:28and to look after our family.
00:23:30Yes.
00:23:31I intend for you to honor that promise,
00:23:34especially since you slept with my daughter shortly before arresting her.
00:23:37I promise.
00:23:38I promise.
00:23:39I promise.
00:23:40I promise.
00:23:41I promise.
00:23:42I promise.
00:23:43I promise.
00:23:44I promise.
00:23:46What?
00:23:48Be quiet, Stella.
00:23:49Mrs. Shelley, I did not.
00:23:52I know a man of your position can never admit to such a thing out loud,
00:23:55but let us be clear on what I do know.
00:23:57Stella was quite loose-lipped when I picked her up from the facility.
00:24:01She smelled of, well, certain liberties,
00:24:05and she kept sniffing at her sleeves.
00:24:07When I asked, she babbled on about a wild night
00:24:11and still having the smell of your cologne on her clothes.
00:24:15I know my daughter might not be
00:24:16so forthcoming at the moment,
00:24:18but she was in no shape to lie to me then.
00:24:21So, by all means, deny what you must,
00:24:24just so long as you make good on your promises.
00:24:33Come in.
00:24:35Here's my paper.
00:24:37Thank you for the second chance.
00:24:38Yeah, have a seat.
00:24:40It looks better already.
00:24:42Did you learn anything interesting about Lissagor?
00:24:45It's like our professor said in class.
00:24:48There are always multiple reasons for conflict,
00:24:50but I just feel bad for the royal family.
00:24:54How so?
00:24:55It seems like they were governing responsibly,
00:24:57and then out of nowhere, bam, civil war.
00:25:00They disappear.
00:25:04Wait, do you have any memories
00:25:07from before you were adopted?
00:25:09Who told you I was adopted?
00:25:12I can't really explain.
00:25:13Not here, it's not secure enough.
00:25:15I could show you.
00:25:17Come with me, please.
00:25:18I'm not going anywhere with you.
00:25:22Leah, it's important.
00:25:26Please, I don't mean you any harm.
00:25:29I just really need you to trust me.
00:25:34Please.
00:25:35Fine, but I'm not going
00:25:37to some secondary location with you.
00:25:39You can come to my house.
00:25:42Aaron will be there, so no funny business.
00:25:45All right.
00:25:47I'll see you in an hour.
00:26:08You got buried treasure in there?
00:26:12Of a sort.
00:26:14This is yours.
00:26:17I've been here.
00:26:21A balk.
00:26:38Leah, darling, we need to go now.
00:26:52What was that?
00:26:55What was that?
00:26:57Did that spark any memories?
00:26:59No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:04What was that?
00:27:06Did that spark any memories?
00:27:09I don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:13Do you remember who gave you the doll?
00:27:17Your mother.
00:27:18My mother is dead.
00:27:21Why are you doing this?
00:27:23Leah.
00:27:24Please don't touch me.
00:27:27Touch her again and I'll kill you.
00:27:30How long have you been following us?
00:27:31Why did you give her the drugs?
00:27:33I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
00:27:36Get off me.
00:27:37Calm down.
00:27:38I'm fine.
00:27:39You didn't sound fine.
00:27:40I was upset, but not with him.
00:27:42At least not enough for this.
00:27:45I invited him over.
00:27:47I don't need you to play knight in shining armor.
00:27:50I need you to leave.
00:27:52Now.
00:27:53We'll talk later.
00:27:57All right.
00:27:59I don't want that man in my house.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:02You know what?
00:28:03Last time I checked, this was my house too.
00:28:05He's been spying on you.
00:28:07And he's working for the ring.
00:28:08Who told you that?
00:28:09Little miss I can do no wrong, Stella.
00:28:11Oh, leave her out of this.
00:28:12Why?
00:28:13What are you going to do?
00:28:14Marry her?
00:28:16What?
00:28:17No.
00:28:18Well, you might want to tell her that.
00:28:28Okay.
00:28:53Mama?
00:28:54Where are you?
00:28:56Leah, darling.
00:28:58We need to go now.
00:29:01Yes, Mama.
00:29:12What is it?
00:29:13Please come meet with me.
00:29:14It's urgent.
00:29:17I told you, I need time.
00:29:19I know, but there isn't any more time.
00:29:22I need you to meet me at the airport lot.
00:29:24I'm not going to leave the country with you.
00:29:26It's nothing like that.
00:29:28I need your help to welcome someone.
00:29:30Please.
00:29:31It's important.
00:29:43I need sleep.
00:29:44Meet me in the morning, then.
00:29:45The flight arrives in four hours.
00:29:47You have time for three more hours of rest.
00:29:50I have a headache.
00:29:52You can earn extra credit for the class.
00:29:55Fine.
00:30:04Leah.
00:30:17Leah.
00:30:18Leah.
00:30:20Leah?
00:30:22Leah.
00:30:27Oh, my God.
00:30:31She's fine.
00:30:32She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:36Did she say what kind of errand it was?
00:30:37No.
00:30:39Okay.
00:30:48Okay.
00:30:49Okay, okay, okay.
00:30:55Man, please tell me we have something on my damn cousin and that damn drug ring.
00:31:00Afraid not, boss.
00:31:01However, we did find something interesting regarding something else entirely.
00:31:09I'm not committing to anything.
00:31:12You know, for all I know, they're just weird dreams.
00:31:15Do you want to tell me about your dreams?
00:31:17When we were kids, did we used to play together?
00:31:26And you had a pet frog named Mortimer.
00:31:31I think he's dead.
00:31:32No, he's alive.
00:31:33He's alive.
00:31:34He's not dead.
00:31:35You had a pet frog named Mortimer.
00:31:39All my dreams are real.
00:31:41Do you have any other memories?
00:31:44Maybe of your family?
00:31:46Yes, Mama.
00:31:47Just a soft voice.
00:31:50Reminders to sit up straight, rule wisely.
00:31:54That's right, you're a princess, Leah.
00:31:56A princess?
00:31:59It can't be.
00:32:01There are tests that can prove it.
00:32:03The easiest is to look for specific antibodies
00:32:06which can be traced back to the blood of the Lizagor family.
00:32:09There's no groups of people
00:32:10that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:32:13I'm immune to the aftereffects of class seven drugs.
00:32:18Are you certain?
00:32:19Help me.
00:32:22Still processing?
00:32:23Understatement.
00:32:31You've been waiting a long time to do that.
00:32:33Waiting a long time for it to mean something.
00:32:34Who are we meeting?
00:32:36Lady Tiffany Altamon, Queen of Lizagor.
00:32:40Your mother.
00:32:42Mama, Leah.
00:32:45Your Majesty, Your Highness.
00:32:46We ought to move somewhere more private.
00:32:53Your Highness, excuse me.
00:32:58I suppose you were too young to remember
00:33:00what Lizagor was like before you left.
00:33:03I lost my memories in an accident when I was seven.
00:33:07There was a coup following a bloody civil war.
00:33:10Your father and I, we feared for your safety.
00:33:14We sent you out of the country
00:33:16ahead of the rest of the family.
00:33:18But word of your escape got to our enemies
00:33:22and they sabotaged your route.
00:33:25That's when we got the news that you had died.
00:33:33Once Lady Tiffany and Lord Edmund
00:33:34were trapped in the country as political prisoners,
00:33:37none of their allies could contact them.
00:33:39Lord Edmund?
00:33:41Your father.
00:33:42He was a good man and a brave one.
00:33:45He loved you very much.
00:33:49What happened to him?
00:33:50He died in prison.
00:33:51Two years ago, I was able to find Lady Tiffany
00:33:54and tell her the news.
00:33:56News?
00:33:57I found the lost princess.
00:33:59Oh, shh.
00:34:00Shh, darling, we can be a family once more.
00:34:05No, no, I have a family.
00:34:07Aaron-
00:34:08Yes, of course, the Jenkins.
00:34:09We will never forget the Jenkins.
00:34:10No, no, Aaron, he needs to know.
00:34:13Oh, I, who?
00:34:15Aaron Harold.
00:34:17He took Leigh in after the Jenkins died.
00:34:20He's quite protective of her.
00:34:23Oh, of course.
00:34:24We will show our gratitude on him as well.
00:34:27He won't have to worry about you anymore.
00:34:31Oh, your fiance is more than capable of protecting you.
00:34:34My what?
00:34:36Your fiance.
00:34:39Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:43No.
00:34:45Oh.
00:34:49I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:53I was getting to it.
00:34:55Brendan?
00:34:56My defense, your majesty.
00:34:58You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:35:01What was I supposed to do?
00:35:02It is one of our oldest traditions
00:35:04for the heir of the crown to marry a friend
00:35:07born into the espionage sector.
00:35:10The curriculum at this place is a bit lacking, I'm afraid.
00:35:14Makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:24Yes?
00:35:24Stella, I require an update on Aaron.
00:35:27I want a timeline on your nuptials.
00:35:29It's not that easy, mom.
00:35:30I'm sorry.
00:35:32Do you wish to find yourself pregnant
00:35:33and destitute in a West End back alley?
00:35:37Just because I can't get a major general
00:35:38to marry me right away,
00:35:40it doesn't mean that nobody would at all.
00:35:42I guarantee every woman trapped in that back alley
00:35:44told herself the same thing.
00:35:46No excuses, Stella.
00:35:49I've just got to take care of that Leigh at first.
00:35:52I've got a plan to show her that I mean business.
00:35:55You should already be on the next step.
00:35:57I'm working on Aaron, okay?
00:35:59It's just going to take-
00:36:00Stella, you will say goodbye
00:36:04to your mother properly, young lady.
00:36:09Oh, it's going to look great.
00:36:11You like that?
00:36:13Oh, that's nice.
00:36:14That's nice.
00:36:22Damn.
00:36:23I'm forgetting something.
00:36:25I'm forgetting something.
00:36:26Oh.
00:36:29You idiot.
00:36:30I was the one who hired you.
00:36:32You got the wrong girl.
00:36:37You know, that's really rich.
00:36:38That's a good one.
00:36:40I've never heard that before.
00:36:41That's cute, even.
00:36:43Listen, I got my marching orders, missy.
00:36:47I'm here to grab Stella Shelley.
00:36:51And that is 100% you.
00:36:55I gave you this damn assignment.
00:36:57Pick up Target, transport gagged in car,
00:37:01tie up in public space,
00:37:03beat breadcrumbs,
00:37:04and dress up with humiliating message.
00:37:08Oh my God.
00:37:11I did not mean breadcrumbs, literally.
00:37:14A, you just described our whole morning,
00:37:17so that means nothing to me, okay?
00:37:19And B, I ain't getting paid to be creative.
00:37:22Overpriced hack!
00:37:26Why do young people got to take things so personally?
00:37:30Last step.
00:37:32Humiliating message.
00:37:40My fiance is a major general.
00:37:42And once he hears about this, you are done.
00:37:49I'm scared.
00:37:51Let's do it.
00:37:52B.
00:37:54Get this off of me.
00:37:55No.
00:38:01You may recall a black market site
00:38:02we were researching a few months back?
00:38:05Hinchman for hire?
00:38:07Still can't believe they went with that name.
00:38:09It's accurate.
00:38:17One of our guys cracked the encryption
00:38:18on one of their servers.
00:38:20Finally, we do have to move quickly.
00:38:23They have a rather disturbing policy
00:38:25when it comes to compromised accounts.
00:38:27It's automation and it's finicky.
00:38:30Can we hack it?
00:38:32Maybe, but I'd rather we handled this one personally.
00:38:35There's some prominent people
00:38:38who've been using their services.
00:38:42I'd ask you if you're sure about this,
00:38:45but it's already in progress.
00:38:48I'm sure.
00:38:49And I'm not sorry.
00:38:55Somebody help me, please.
00:38:56Oh my God, Aaron.
00:38:58I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:04I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:07You have to get the guy who did this to me.
00:39:09You have to arrest him.
00:39:13Aaron.
00:39:15Aaron, are you hearing me?
00:39:18Oh, I hear you.
00:39:20And I will.
00:39:22Do you know what happens
00:39:24when henchmen for hire servers
00:39:25detect authority sector tampering
00:39:27with a client's accounts?
00:39:28No.
00:39:30How would I know?
00:39:31They flag the potentially compromised client's accounts
00:39:35and flag them for death.
00:39:36I don't see how this is relevant to me, Aaron.
00:39:40Ruben cut the funding to your accounts
00:39:42before he realized.
00:39:44Ruben's a liar.
00:39:45Stop!
00:39:48Ruben has never lied to me.
00:39:51And he never will.
00:39:53And besides, you're missing the point.
00:39:57What's the point?
00:39:58This was originally gonna be an assassination attempt,
00:40:01Stella!
00:40:02So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:08Don't you ever say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:11I'm not feeling very protected at the moment
00:40:12considering I'm still here
00:40:14and the guy who did this to me is still out there.
00:40:19We found a way to redirect the system.
00:40:22Got it to select the most recent assignment
00:40:23that you had assigned to it instead.
00:40:26That...
00:40:27That is not what-
00:40:28Justice?
00:40:29I think it is.
00:40:32I think watching what you had planned for Leah
00:40:34done to you,
00:40:37I think that's beyond justice.
00:40:39I think that's mercy.
00:40:42And this is the final mercy
00:40:44that you or your family will ever get from me.
00:40:58Let's try this one more time, huh?
00:41:04That was hilarious.
00:41:05It's a lot of different people.
00:41:15Good.
00:41:39Princess?
00:41:45I don't see it.
00:41:54I should tell Eren.
00:41:55He'll know what to do.
00:41:58You'll tell Eren nothing.
00:42:07With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws,
00:42:10Liz Z'Gor's queen in exile
00:42:13has announced her intention to visit Ra's al.
00:42:16The exact day and purpose is still a secret.
00:42:19I'm still on stakeout.
00:42:21No leads yet.
00:42:24The one involving your cousin?
00:42:27On your mother's side?
00:42:29Hard to forget.
00:42:31I was grateful he got kicked out
00:42:32before Leah had to meet him.
00:42:35Eren, when that petty little shit
00:42:38learned you had a favorite anything,
00:42:39he wanted it for himself.
00:42:41But I'm not gonna forget
00:42:42that he bought every last bottle of that cologne
00:42:45because General Shelley recruited my help
00:42:50convincing the damn store
00:42:51to make one last run of the stuff for you.
00:42:53I didn't know that.
00:42:56Don't worry about it.
00:42:57I did it half for you and half out of spite.
00:43:01Someone who smelled like me
00:43:02kept Stella company the other night.
00:43:04And I need to know if that means what I think it means.
00:43:06I'm already checking the flight records.
00:43:10Ah, hell.
00:43:11He is here.
00:43:21Your cousin has been a hit bet in the past two years.
00:43:24And hasn't been to visit any monks.
00:43:27Not unless those monks were running a lot of drugs.
00:43:30Class VII included.
00:43:31Damn it!
00:43:34I'm sorry, Eren.
00:43:36I don't know why he didn't come up on the radar
00:43:38or the CSAT.
00:43:40I do.
00:43:45When my aunt and uncle left the country,
00:43:47their names were flagged for watch.
00:43:49But I argued with Major General Shelley
00:43:51that Tyler was too young to have his name marked with theirs.
00:43:53So Tyler raised no alarms when he crossed the border.
00:43:57And now he could be the one who drugged Leah.
00:44:00Unconfirmed, but possible.
00:44:05Either way, the drugs were his.
00:44:08Yes.
00:44:20Wakey, wakey.
00:44:23Ah, there you are.
00:44:25Eren probably never mentioned me.
00:44:27He and I go way back.
00:44:29And as I told you, Miss Moffat,
00:44:32I know all about you.
00:44:35I wonder,
00:44:36does Eren still make Reuben do his dirty work
00:44:39and pretend like it was an accident?
00:44:42He always was predictable like that.
00:44:45I reckon you're the same way.
00:44:48You know, he always did gravitate
00:44:49towards similar peas to his pod.
00:44:52And with a face like yours,
00:44:55gravitate indeed.
00:44:57Or so his type.
00:45:00But I bet he never mentioned that either.
00:45:02Propriety, am I right?
00:45:04Can't be seen taking advantage of the sad orphan
00:45:07in his upright, mature care.
00:45:09At least, that's the take Mademoiselle Stella
00:45:12has been hammering home.
00:45:13What a gold digger.
00:45:15I admire that in a bitch.
00:45:18Oh, stop your fretting.
00:45:20You're a hostage.
00:45:21You've got, oh, a 40% chance of making it out alive.
00:45:25Most players make their cliche play
00:45:29and sacrifice their pawns.
00:45:31But the patient ones,
00:45:33leave them perfectly positioned on the board
00:45:36to take advantage of the other guy.
00:45:40And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:48Are you ready for your closeup?
00:46:01Come alone or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:08Now smile and say cheese.
00:46:11Hehehe.
00:46:32They're late.
00:46:34They're unprofessionally late.
00:46:37Makes the guy feel lonely, hmm?
00:46:39Oh, right.
00:46:40You can't talk.
00:46:43Ah!
00:46:46Got anything to say?
00:46:48Who are you?
00:46:50Me?
00:46:51I'm the future general of Harold House.
00:46:54Never.
00:46:57That's what you get for being a smart P
00:46:59in your provincial little pot.
00:47:02And where have you been?
00:47:04Getting coffee.
00:47:05We can catch you in that chair if you want.
00:47:06Get into your positions.
00:47:08Slay.
00:47:12Aaron.
00:47:17Let her go.
00:47:18I said if you came alone, you would see her alive.
00:47:23That doesn't mean I'm relinquishing
00:47:24bargaining chips at the start.
00:47:26Put him in the fun chair, boys.
00:47:32Do you want me to drop the search for you?
00:47:35For your drug ring?
00:47:36Wait, he's the-
00:47:38Yes, Miss Muffet.
00:47:40I know this one is shit at keeping you informed,
00:47:43but do try and keep up.
00:47:46You know, I want so much more.
00:47:49And you owe me so much more.
00:47:53I kept your name from being flagged.
00:47:55You kept mine!
00:47:56You turned me in!
00:47:58I turned your parents in.
00:47:59And me along with them.
00:48:01Oh, don't act so high and mighty about this now.
00:48:04You took my parents down that shithole
00:48:06and you expect me to be grateful?
00:48:09Ah!
00:48:15Maybe I should thank you.
00:48:16After all, I did get to see the world because of you.
00:48:20Exile would do that to a kid.
00:48:22The jurisdiction of the law in these other countries
00:48:24is divided into little categories.
00:48:26They make their leaders
00:48:28earn every little last scrap of power.
00:48:31They can't even conceive of the absolute dominion
00:48:34that is the authority sector of Razool.
00:48:36And inheriting that kind of power,
00:48:38passing it to a capable family member
00:48:42because you think you should trust family?
00:48:45Unthinkable.
00:48:46So Aaron here is just a little more worldly
00:48:48than everyone else.
00:48:50Right.
00:48:52Go figure.
00:48:53I'm a god.
00:48:56I'm a god!
00:48:58I'm a god!
00:49:01I'm a god.
00:49:03I'm a god.
00:49:22Oh, she's got it in her bitch after all!
00:49:30You hurt her, and you get nothing from me!
00:49:34And I know you want something from me.
00:49:37More than just my pain.
00:49:43You know what, Miss Muffet?
00:49:45You've officially gotten annoying.
00:49:51Erin and I are overdue for a private chat, and you have officially lost your fly-on-the-wall
00:49:58privileges.
00:49:59FYI, your personal hostage survival rate is dropping!
00:50:10You're insane!
00:50:16You're insane!
00:50:18That's what everyone says in the face of oblivion.
00:50:27Maybe I should go find her.
00:50:28No.
00:50:29This is a mother's duty.
00:50:34Affairs of the heart are complicated.
00:50:42Leah!
00:50:46Please, we can talk about whatever's troubling you.
00:50:52Leah!
00:51:02Brandon!
00:51:05Please, please, please.
00:51:14Don't come any closer!
00:51:17I'm armed!
00:51:20Is that any way to greet your rescuer?
00:51:25Stop struggling.
00:51:26I don't want to cut you, okay?
00:51:27I'm not going anywhere without Erin.
00:51:29That's not an option.
00:51:30Whether you walk on your own two feet or I carry you out, it's up to you.
00:51:35Look, you are the hope of our people.
00:51:39It's my duty to protect you.
00:51:41I can't do that if you're off chasing gangsters and kidnappers without a plan.
00:51:45That doesn't matter.
00:51:46I can't just leave him here.
00:51:48Well, from what I know of Erin, he would not want you putting yourself in harm's way for
00:51:54his sake.
00:51:57Also, your mother is worried sick about you.
00:52:02She finally found her long-lost daughter, the last living member of her family, and
00:52:06you were kidnapped moments after reuniting.
00:52:09Her worst nightmares are coming true.
00:52:12Fine.
00:52:13But I am coming back for Erin.
00:52:17I expect nothing less, your highness.
00:52:28Oh.
00:52:34Someone's looking a little less lost.
00:52:37You want me to abdicate his major journal in my house?
00:52:41And?
00:52:44And you want me to hand it over to you.
00:52:46See?
00:52:47Was that so hard?
00:52:52I am so sorry we couldn't get to you sooner, but since your father died, my contacts in
00:52:56Rusal have become scattered and limited.
00:52:58I'll be fine, but we need to-
00:53:01Oh, thankfully I still have a few people I can trust.
00:53:04You've already met my driver, Alexei, and my valet, Ivan, and my dog, Walker Boris.
00:53:11And of course, Sir Brendan remains a most loyal and dedicated son of Lysagor.
00:53:16Mm-hmm.
00:53:17Mm-hmm.
00:53:18Oh.
00:53:19It's my honor to serve.
00:53:21And fortunately, I'm just one man.
00:53:24Okay, enough.
00:53:25I can't sit here while Erin is in danger.
00:53:28Now are you going to help me or not?
00:53:33It's going to take time.
00:53:36We don't have time.
00:53:38Erin is always there for me, and now he needs me.
00:53:41I have to go.
00:53:43Of course, I wouldn't think of standing in your way, but Sir Fabtre remains.
00:53:48I have no more resources to give you.
00:53:51You have given me all I need.
00:53:54I have my own resources now.
00:53:59Ruben?
00:54:03You are my last blood relative, so I could install you, but no other Major General is going to want to cooperate with you.
00:54:09Oh, I got plans for that.
00:54:12I got quite good at making plans.
00:54:14How do you like my little empire, by the way?
00:54:16It's a drug ring.
00:54:18It's the start of a kingdom, and one that would run much smoother if it wasn't forced to operate in the shadows.
00:54:24Doubling as local Major General could make that happen.
00:54:29And I intend to use the damn position to make a lot of things happen.
00:54:35Unlike you, sitting on your arse while your underlings do their sad little attempts at a bust.
00:54:42Or should I say, topping up.
00:54:45What?
00:54:46Oh yes, guys. I do know your dirtiest little secret.
00:54:51I should.
00:54:53I helped make it happen.
00:55:04You son of a bitch!
00:55:06Our mothers are not fair game, Eren.
00:55:09You set that rule when we were eight, remember?
00:55:13It was you.
00:55:15It was Stella, but yes, it was me too.
00:55:19And it was a lot of fun to watch.
00:55:22General Shelley's daughter exploited the whole aftermath.
00:55:26I just kept tabs.
00:55:28And you defended Stella, didn't you?
00:55:31Dutiful as ever.
00:55:33Of course you did.
00:55:35Ha! Damn!
00:55:37But if I could be a fly on that wall, watching you tell the girl who's in love with you that she has to take that bitch's shit.
00:55:46And after, you sought her out for the most vital ride of her life.
00:55:52Lia's not in love with me.
00:55:55Oh, you always were dense about the suffering of others.
00:56:02That's okay.
00:56:04I'm going to help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:10I'm going to help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:22Yeah, this is going out.
00:56:25No, no.
00:56:26Open up.
00:56:28This is on you.
00:56:35What?
00:56:39Go to hell!
00:56:41If I bother, I intend to rule there too.
00:56:46You know, your little miss had me worried for a moment that I brought a bad badge across the border with me.
00:56:52She seemed to take forever to experience the side effects.
00:56:56Luckily, she was a fluke.
00:57:04Cut him loose, boys.
00:57:35Freeze!
00:57:41Should we fight them? Are we being paid enough to fight them?
00:57:45No.
00:58:04Aaron. Aaron, talk to me.
00:58:06Lia!
00:58:07Safe. She's safe, man.
00:58:16Come on, let's get you moved.
00:58:22Patience.
00:58:24Patience? Aaron could be in there dying and we're just sitting here watching and waiting. I feel utterly useless.
00:58:31By watching, we keep our people from being surrounded.
00:58:34Besides, you're the one who decided to call in Reuben. You agreed to follow his orders.
00:58:39Wait, I think I see something. Over there.
00:58:42I can't be certain, but it kind of looks like...
00:58:49What was that for?
00:58:51Shh! Get down. You don't want him to see us.
00:58:54But we can't let that bastard get away.
00:58:58I'm not. You're staying here where it's safe.
00:59:03Fine, but I'm doing this under protest.
00:59:06Protest noted. Now, stay here.
00:59:1597, 98, 99, 100.
00:59:28Aaron, thank God.
00:59:30His skin is hypersensitive right now, and it's only going to get worse.
00:59:34I'm doing what I can to fix the wounds right now.
00:59:37Aaron?
00:59:38Oh, Lia.
00:59:42Oh, you shouldn't have come.
00:59:44Oh, sweet girl.
00:59:46He's not making any sense. What's going on?
00:59:50I think you know.
00:59:52Mesmer.
00:59:55Mesmer.
00:59:59Aaron doesn't have any special antibodies.
01:00:01That is correct.
01:00:03So, what do we do? How can we...
01:00:06There's no cure. We can only mitigate symptoms.
01:00:08How?
01:00:10I think you know that, too.
01:00:17I think you know that, too.
01:00:21Um, is there somebody we should call?
01:00:25You.
01:00:28I want it to be you.
01:00:30Only you.
01:00:33Let's clear you guys out of this room.
01:00:39Why?
01:00:50Why?
01:00:52Why?
01:00:54Why?
01:00:56Why?
01:00:58Why?
01:01:00Why?
01:01:02Why?
01:01:04Why?
01:01:06Why?
01:01:08Why?
01:01:10Why?
01:01:12Why?
01:01:14Why?
01:01:16Why?
01:01:18Why?
01:01:20Why?
01:01:22Why?
01:01:24Why?
01:01:26Why?
01:01:28Why?
01:01:30Why?
01:01:32Why?
01:01:34Why?
01:01:36Why?
01:01:38Why?
01:01:40Why?
01:01:42Why?
01:01:44Why?
01:01:46Why?
01:01:48Why?
01:01:50Why?
01:01:52Why?
01:01:54Why?
01:01:56Why?
01:01:58I almost had him.
01:02:00You're welcome.
01:02:02Well, I guess my ability to chase suspects and your ability to open doors...
01:02:06Maybe we can pave the way for better international relations.
01:02:09Maybe.
01:02:11If you'd stop crying on Leah.
01:02:13Maybe.
01:02:15If she asked me to.
01:02:17So, where is she?
01:02:19With Aaron.
01:02:32It's inferior to Lizard Boy, too, you know.
01:02:35Don't make me open a door on you, too.
01:02:44Hello?
01:02:52How are you feeling?
01:02:54Better.
01:02:56Thanks to Leah.
01:02:58Good.
01:03:00But I still need to get you checked out.
01:03:02I called the doctor, and she's going to meet you at home when you arrive.
01:03:05Um...
01:03:07I'll be right back.
01:03:10You love him.
01:03:11I do.
01:03:12And I wish you the best.
01:03:15It's been an honor serving you both.
01:03:19So...
01:03:20What happens now?
01:03:22Well, Lady Tiffany has decided to remain in Rural Zeal.
01:03:26With you.
01:03:28And placing her safety in the hands of your Major General.
01:03:31But...
01:03:32What about you?
01:03:33I'll see what good I can do in Lizagore.
01:03:36You may be in chaos now, but...
01:03:38I'll always remain loyal to the Royal Family.
01:03:42Thank you for everything you've done for me and for my family.
01:03:46Goodbye, Princess.
01:03:56Princess!
01:03:57Should I be worried?
01:03:58It's a long story.
01:04:00I'll tell you about it when we get home.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:03But before there's any other misunderstandings...
01:04:06I want to make something clear.
01:04:07About what?
01:04:08Leah...
01:04:10I love you.
01:04:13I know that might seem sudden...
01:04:15But it's not.
01:04:17Look, over everything we've been through the last few weeks, I just...
01:04:21I just want to ensure that there are not any misunderstandings.
01:04:27I'm so in love with you.
01:04:29And I have been.
01:04:31For a long time.
01:04:35I want you to know.
01:04:37I want everyone to know that.
01:04:41Leah...
01:04:43Please say something.
01:04:44I love you.
01:04:48I love you too.
01:04:51In that case...
01:04:53Shall we let the world know?
01:05:03Leah Jenkins...
01:05:05Will you marry me?
01:05:07Yes!
01:05:09Yes! Oh my god, yes!
01:05:39High General!
01:05:40I didn't realize I'd be seeing you in person today.
01:05:43The situation called for it, Lieutenant.
01:05:45You and the Major General have cause to be proud.
01:05:47Thank you, sir.
01:05:52Major General Aaron Harrell.
01:05:54I am here on behalf of Ruat Sil itself to congratulate you on completing your mission...
01:05:58And ensuring the safety of our people.
01:06:01The honor's mine, High General Shane.
01:06:03When you first undertook this task, I conferred with my fellow elders.
01:06:07We had faith in your success.
01:06:09And thus already had in mind the next mission that we wish to offer you.
01:06:17We have an undercover mission overseas.
01:06:21We need someone who is truly capable to investigate a colony in Ithbek.
01:06:25High General...
01:06:27I thank you.
01:06:29I do.
01:06:31But I already know I cannot accept.
01:06:33You can't?
01:06:37An undercover mission to Ithbek would interfere with planning my wedding.
01:06:42You're...
01:06:46Oh, I see.
01:06:48The utmost congratulations to you, Major General.
01:06:51May you both flourish.
01:07:01Gonna have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:07To be continued...
