00:00:00When I was seven,
00:00:30I had no memory of being six.
00:00:33It didn't matter.
00:00:35My 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.
00:00:49As I carried him, so he would carry me through so much.
00:00:55This is only where it begins.
00:00:58Yeah?
00:00:59Hi, Aaron.
00:01:00Where have you been?
00:01:02Where have you been?
00:01:03Getting shot in all sorts of weird places?
00:01:08I've been 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, but I know you only probably got the position early because your father's health failed.
00:01:25Yeah, he's gone.
00:01:28Lester heard your parents were dead too.
00:01:30And your aunt and uncle were taking you in?
00:01:33Well, since I'm adopted, my aunt and uncle didn't even see me as my parents' kid, so...
00:01:38Come home with me.
00:01:40What?
00:01:41Going from friends to being family isn't that weird of a leap, right?
00:01:46Okay.
00:01:47Silla, I'm sorry I'm late.
00:02:00I was turning in my paper.
00:02:01You'll just have to catch up with us.
00:02:03Hey.
00:02:04This is my new best friend as of yesterday, T. New bestie, this is Leah.
00:02:10When was the last time I saw you?
00:02:12Uh, a few months ago.
00:02:14At your father's funeral.
00:02:16I'm so sorry.
00:02:17Don't worry about it.
00:02:18I'm over it.
00:02:19But he's your dad.
00:02:21Was my dad.
00:02:22You understand.
00:02:24When you work for the Authority Sector, you have no time for family.
00:02:28Well, Aaron has plenty of time for-
00:02:30Aaron.
00:02:31Aaron.
00:02:32Aaron.
00:02:33Enough about Aaron.
00:02:34Don't talk to me about him.
00:02:36He has no time for me.
00:02:39Calm down, Benzo.
00:02:41I've got just the thing you need.
00:02:46Oh.
00:02:48Uh, none for me, thanks.
00:02:52Brendan!
00:02:53Hi!
00:02:55Leah.
00:02:56Fancy seeing you outside the classroom again.
00:02:58You're not spying on me, are you?
00:03:00No, I'm not.
00:03:01I 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.
00:03:23So, who's the hottie?
00:03:25Your boy?
00:03:26Oh.
00:03:27That's just Brendan.
00:03:28He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:30Mmm.
00:03:31I think he likes you.
00:03:32Oh.
00:03:33You should show him your appreciation for all of his hard work.
00:03:36Stella!
00:03:37Um.
00:03:38Will you excuse me?
00:03:39I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:40Mmhmm.
00:03:41The restroom.
00:03:42Right.
00:03:43Have fun.
00:03:44Have fun.
00:03:46Ha ha.
00:03:47Ha ha.
00:03:48Bye.
00:03:49How long?
00:03:50Give us a couple, that's so cute.
00:03:51Oh, okay.
00:03:52I'm typing, I'm typing, I'm typing, you just don't know.
00:03:53Um.
00:03:54Will you excuse me?
00:03:55I just need to go to the restroom?
00:03:56the restroom
00:03:59right
00:04:00have fun
00:04:26what's the situation report
00:04:32we trace 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
00:04:39markers in the chemical composition which determine it's a class seven
00:04:44damn it
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
00:04:56it raises libido lowers inhibition causes memory loss and induces a
00:05:05potentially fatal brain fever in the victim
00:05:08it also increases the sensitivity of the nerve receptors causing intense
00:05:12sensations of pain and pleasure
00:05:26so 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
00:05:48you might just jump anything with a pulse to see if it fills you
00:05:55so 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
00:06:05are you certain
00:06:07as certain as i can be without a blood test
00:06:11all right 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
00:06:23no antidote we can only mitigate these symptoms
00:06:27mitigate how
00:06:30the only known treatment is skin contact
00:06:34lots of skin contact
00:06:36i don't know if she's seen 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
00:06:56i want it to be you

00:09:23they report that while their seizure of the drugs was successful
00:09:27the leader of the ring remains at large
00:09:29his true name still a mystery
00:09:31one of the people arrested at the scene is the daughter of a recently fallen major general
00:09:37university student stella shelley remains held for questioning
00:09:42what how dare they gary
00:09:44i'm afraid that major general aaron harold was in charge of the raid mom

00:10:14you
00:10:25mrs shelley
00:10:26what may i do for you
00:10:28you can begin by explaining why you had my daughter arrested especially after you promised my husband
00:10:32that you take care of us
00:10:33you know i can't comment on ongoing authority sector investigations
00:10:39at the time of the arrest i was unaware of stella's presence at the sites
00:10:43be that as it may you could have done something to prevent her name from being released to the press
00:10:48do you know how i felt hearing about my daughter's arrest like she was a common criminal
00:10:53it was an embarrassment i'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
00:11:07i miss him so much i'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

00:11:44we just got the blood test result back

00:11:53drug
00:12:00lucky new lucky
00:12:02yes

00:12:10yes i actually 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 ithbac the old ostocracy of lysogor
00:12:22and the nudist colony in
00:12:26if you're done with your examination i'll sit the two of you up

00:13:11i mean it was but it's not what i want to know first
00:13:16i know
00:13:18but you were in trouble and we were short on time

00:13:59you didn't cover half the required topics and between that and the grammar i just
00:14:02couldn't give you a better grade professor alson hasn't looked at the grades yet i could
00:14:07temporarily lose your paper for a couple of days and give you the opportunity to rewrite it really
00:14:13thank you so much i'm gonna get started right away
00:14:20hey tough teachers are a bummer oh that that was entirely my fault oh really well aaron recently
00:14:30helped me out with a difficult situation it's just a pity that he can't even exert a little
00:14:35influence to help you when some professor is giving you a hard time it's not fair but you know
00:14:40it strikes me i don't know you as well as i ought after all you are aaron's family and who knows what
00:14:49the future holds so in order for bygones to be bygones i got you a gift oh there's no need
00:14:58i don't have it with me now but how about i stop by aaron's house and say an hour honestly we're good
00:15:04so ungrateful stuck up bitch
00:15:14how's two or three sound oh perfect toodles
00:15:34so ungrateful stuck up to me i didn't think you were still coming i would never break my word
00:15:45oh poor thing it appears my gift is more needed than i got
00:16:03uh thank you i'm sorry i really think you should go i've got some homework to get back to
00:16:08oh don't be ridiculous i want to see how it fits
00:16:15aaron
00:16:26stella didn't expect to see you here i hope we're still on for lunch tomorrow
00:16:30yeah that's fine awesome we'll be all so excited to see you
00:16:36oh my god what'd you do to it no it was already like this i just came out to show you if you didn't
00:16:41like it you could just say so or just accept it and not wear it honestly what no i excuse me
00:16:53i thought leah and i could take a day to bond after all she and i both went through something
00:16:58so terrible but it's like like she blames me or something you know
00:17:03but she would know better than that don't you aaron leah makes mistakes like anyone else
00:17:11i'll please ask that you give her the benefit of the doubt and you're going to tell her the same
00:17:14thing yes i'm sorry i have to go we'll talk later
00:17:31yeah um we're just gonna go go do the thing yeah because we had a thing to do later and now it's later
00:17:44i know i was short with you at my dad's funeral it's okay it's not daddy loved aaron he always knew
00:17:57that he'd become part of the family one day i just didn't think he'd die before he got the chance to
00:18:02see it happen and i understand that aaron needs some time to grieve before he and i can really become
00:18:09him and us you and aaron look i get it more than you know he's taken such good care of you and he's
00:18:18strong powerful not to mention his everything what are you talking about for some of us it's a babysitter
00:18:28for others it's a teacher or your mom's boy toy point is that we've all had inappropriate relationships
00:18:35inappropriate i know i'm not that much older than you so it can seem a little weird but i can keep
00:18:41a secret i am here to support you because you are aaron's family and i think he's gonna miss you
00:18:49once you're gone when i'm what
00:18:56when i'm what
00:18:58gone at least i assume you'll be able to go that's every goal for serious university students
00:19:06right go out in the world and work your own field yeah i mean i don't have any post-graduation plans
00:19:14yet okay well my bad i thought that d was a fluke i just know that striking out on your own can be
00:19:23really important and you're gonna need distance especially if aaron encouraged you oh no he's
00:19:31not i didn't mean to imply that no of course not he's aaron yeah right no i mean he's always been
00:19:39like a you know breathe it's okay like a brother i know and like don't worry about the dress i was
00:19:48like don't worry about the dress i was mad about it before but i'm not anymore
00:20:18is there something i should know about the lunch with you and stella tomorrow uh mrs shelley invited
00:20:25me she wasn't particularly happy about stella's arrest but i think the lunch is a chance to talk
00:20:30some things over well her arrest was like five minutes long
00:20:36this is major general shelley's family leah he was dying when he asked me to take care of them
00:20:43going to lunch that's like the least i can do no yeah i know that but i also know that stella was
00:20:51one of the last people i talked to before i started to feel that drug but here's to being appreciated
00:20:59for all our hard work
00:21:00do you think she did it i i think it's possible are you certain no
00:21:16you weren't the only one under the influence of something that night so was stella granted she
00:21:22might have taken it herself and i can understand why she might not want to admit that but
00:21:28she's not our primary suspect who is that ta who's been following you around brendan martin
00:21:39what brendan
00:21:42brendan are you serious yeah take a look security footage has him at the scene right before the raid
00:21:52look he's exiting he's handling a lot of people's drinks and then he talks to you
00:21:58barely a minute before you came to me brendan's not a criminal his documentation has a lot of holes in
00:22:04it leah okay well that's what happens when you're a refugee from another country aren't you the one
00:22:09who told me that yes but that's also what happens when you're a spy or or when you work for the biggest
00:22:16drug ring in Brazil he does not work for a drug ring and he wouldn't hurt me how do you know that
00:22:20because he'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 i 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
00:22:41yeah you hogged all the popcorn
00:22:44i did not but i will make the popcorn if you choose the movie
00:22:58stella pour me some tea
00:23:00why
00:23:01gary has the day off also hand me the report behind you
00:23:04now
00:23:10aaron
00:23:12i'm glad you've taken the steps to make things right with stella in the authority
00:23:16sector business the other day
00:23:18mrs shelley i'm really sorry about you're sorry for our loss yes i know
00:23:23and you miss my husband too
00:23:26joseph was always a workaholic
00:23:28so as a fellow major general you knew him better than any of us
00:23:32there's anything that i can do
00:23:33oh there is
00:23:35you promised to take care of stella and to look after our family
00:23:39yes
00:23:40i intend for you to honor that promise
00:23:43especially since you slept with my daughter shortly before arresting her
00:23:47what
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 and 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 so 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 just so long as you make good on your promises
00:24:31it looks better already
00:24:41did you learn anything interesting about lizagler
00:24:43it'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

00:29:03Please come meet with me.
00:29:04Oh, my.
00:29:05What is it?
00:29:09I'm sorry.
00:29:10Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:29:11I'm sorry.
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.
00:29:42I need sleep.
00:29:43Meet me in the morning then.
00:29:45The flight arrives in four hours.
00:29:47You have time for three more hours of rest.
00:29:49I have a headache.
00:29:51You can earn extra credit for the class.
00:29:54Fine.
00:30:03Leah.
00:30:12Leah.
00:30:13Leah.
00:30:14Leah.
00:30:15Leah.
00:30:16Leah.
00:30:17Oh my god.
00:30:18She's fine.
00:30:19She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:35Did she say what kind of errand it was?
00:30:38No.
00:30:39Okay.
00:30:40Okay.
00:30:41Okay.
00:30:42Okay.
00:30:43Okay.
00:30:44Okay.
00:30:45Okay.
00:30:46Okay.
00:30:47Man, please tell me we have something on my damn cousin in that damn drug ring.
00:30:59Afraid not, boss.
00:31:01However, we did find something interesting regarding something else entirely.
00:31:10I'm not committing to anything.
00:31:17You know, for all I know, they're just weird dreams.
00:31:21Do you want to tell me about your dreams?
00:31:23When we were kids, did we used to play together?
00:31:25And you had a pet frog named Mortimer.
00:31:38All my dreams are real.
00:31:40Do you have any other memories?
00:31:42Maybe...
00:31:43Maybe...
00:31:44Of your family?
00:31:45Yes, mama.
00:31:46Just a soft voice.
00:31:49Reminders to sit up straight.
00:31:52Rule wisely.
00:31:53That's right.
00:31:54You're a princess, Leah.
00:31:56A princess?
00:31:58It can't be.
00:31:59There are tests that can prove it.
00:32:02The easiest is to look for specific antibodies which can be traced back to the blood of the...
00:32:06Blood of the Lizagor family.
00:32:08Yeah.
00:32:09There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:32:12I'm immune to the after effects of class 7 drugs.
00:32:17Are you certain?
00:32:19Help me.
00:32:21Still processing?
00:32:22Understatement.
00:32:30You've been waiting a long time to do that.
00:32:32Waiting a long time for it to mean something.
00:32:34Who are we meeting?
00:32:35Lady Tiffany Altiman.
00:32:37Queen of Lizagor.
00:32:39Your mother.
00:32:41Mama.
00:32:42Leah.
00:32:44Your Majesty.
00:32:45Your Highness.
00:32:46We ought to move somewhere more private.
00:32:57I suppose you were too young to remember what Lizagor was like before you left.
00:33:01Um, I lost my memories in an accident when I was seven.
00:33:06Hmm.
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 ahead of the rest of the family.
00:33:17But word of your escape got to our enemies.
00:33:21And they sabotaged your route.
00:33:24That's when we got the news that you had died.
00:33:32Once Lady Tiffany and Lord Edmund were trapped in the country as political prisoners,
00:33:36none of their allies could contact them.
00:33:38Uh, Lord Edmund?
00:33:40Your father.
00:33:42He was a good man and a brave one.
00:33:44He loved you very much.
00:33:48What happened to him?
00:33:49He died in prison.
00:33:50Two years ago I was able to find Lady Tiffany and tell her the news.
00:33:55News?
00:33:57I found the lost princess.
00:33:58Oh, shh.
00:34:00Shhh.
00:34:01Darling.
00:34:02We can be a family once more.
00:34:04No.
00:34:05No, 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.
00:34:11No.
00:34:12Aaron.
00:34:13He needs to know.
00:34:14Oh, I...
00:34:15Who?
00:34:16Aaron Harold.
00:34:17He took Leigh in after the Jenkins died.
00:34:20He's...
00:34:21quite protective of her.
00:34:22Oh, of course.
00:34:23We will show our gratitude on him as well.
00:34:26He won't have to worry about you anymore.
00:34:29Oh, your fiancé is more than capable of protecting you.
00:34:33My what?
00:34:35Your fiancé.
00:34:38Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:42No.
00:34:44Oh?
00:34:45I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:52I was getting to it.
00:34:54Brendan?
00:34:56My defense, your majesty.
00:34:57You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:35:00What was I supposed to do?
00:35:01It is one of our oldest traditions for the heir of the crown,
00:35:04to marry a friend born into the espionage sector.
00:35:09The curriculum of this place is a bit lacking, I'm afraid.
00:35:13It makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:23Yes?
00:35:24Stella, I require an update on Aaron.
00:35:26I want a timeline on your nuptials.
00:35:28It's not that easy, Mom.
00:35:30I'm sorry.
00:35:31Do you wish to find yourself pregnant and destitute in a West End back alley?
00:35:36Just because I can't get a Major General to marry me right away?
00:35:39It doesn't mean that nobody would at all.
00:35:41I guarantee every woman trapped in that back alley told herself the same thing.
00:35:46No excuses, Stella.
00:35:48I've just got to take care of that Leah first.
00:35:52I've got a plan to show her that I mean business.
00:35:54You should already be on the next step.
00:35:56I'm working on Aaron, okay?
00:35:58It's just going to take-
00:36:00Stella?
00:36:01You will say goodbye to your mother properly, young lady.
00:36:08Oh.
00:36:09It's going to look great.
00:36:10You like that?
00:36:12Oh, that's nice.
00:36:13That's nice.
00:36:14Damn.
00:36:15I'm forgetting something.
00:36:16I'm forgetting something.
00:36:17Oh.
00:36:18You idiot.
00:36:19I was the one who hired you.
00:36:20You got the wrong girl.
00:36:21Oh, man.
00:36:22You know, that's really rich.
00:36:23That's a good one.
00:36:24I've never heard that before.
00:36:25That's cute even.
00:36:27I was not-
00:36:29Listen.
00:36:30I got my marching orders, Missy.
00:36:31I'm here to grab Stella Shelley.
00:36:34And that is one hundred percent you.
00:36:37I gave you this damn assignment.
00:36:40The name of-
00:36:41I was the one who hired you.
00:36:42You got the wrong girl!
00:36:43Oh, man.
00:36:44You know, that's really rich.
00:36:45That's a good one.
00:36:46That's a good one.
00:36:47I've never heard that before.
00:36:48That's cute even.
00:36:49I was not-
00:36:50Listen.
00:36:51I got my marching orders, missy.
00:36:52I'm here to grab Stella Shelley.
00:36:53And that is 100% you.
00:36:54I gave you this damn assignment.
00:36:56Hiccup target, transport gagged in car, tie up in public space, beep breadcrumbs, and
00:37:04dress 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 so that means nothing to me, okay?
00:37:20And B, I ain't getting paid to be creative.
00:37:22Overpriced hack!
00:37:24Why do young people gotta take things so personally?
00:37:30Last step.
00:37:33Humiliating message.
00:37:36Hmm.
00:37:40My fiancé is a major general.
00:37:43And once he hears about this, you are done!
00:37:46Oh, I'm scared.
00:37:54Get this off of me.
00:37:56No.
00:37:57You may recall a black market site we were researching a few months back?
00:38:05Henchman for hire?
00:38:07Still can't believe they went with that name.
00:38:09It's accurate.
00:38:10One of our guys cracked the encryption on one of their servers.
00:38:20Finally.
00:38:21We do have to move quickly.
00:38:23They have a rather disturbing policy when it comes to compromised counts.
00:38:28It's automation and it's finicky.
00:38:30Can we hack it?
00:38:32Maybe.
00:38:33But I'd rather we handled this one personally.
00:38:35There's some prominent people who've been using their services.
00:38:40I'd ask you if you were sure about this.
00:38:45But it's already in progress.
00:38:47I'm sure.
00:38:49And I'm not sorry.
00:38:51I'm sorry.
00:39:04I'm sorry.
00:39:05I'm sorry.
00:39:06I'm sorry.
00:39:07I'm sorry.
00:39:08Bye.
00:39:09Bye.
00:39:10What's up?
00:39:11God!
00:39:12Our board!
00:39:14We're in a hurry.
00:39:15What's up?
00:39:16Oh, I hear you. And I will.
00:39:21Do you know what happens when henchmen for hire servers detect authority sector tampering with a client's accounts?
00:39:28No. How would I know I-
00:39:31They flag the potentially compromised client's accounts and 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 before he realized.
00:39:43Ruben's a liar.
00:39:45Stop!
00:39:47Ruben has never lied to me.
00:39:50And he never will.
00:39:52And besides, you're missing the point.
00:39:56Um, what's the point?
00:39:58This was originally gonna be an assassination attempt, Stella!
00:40:01So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:07So don't you ever say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:10I'm not feeling very protected at the moment, considering I'm still here.
00:40:14And the guy who did this to me is still out there.
00:40:18We found a way to redirect the system.
00:40:21Got it to select the most recent assignment that you had assigned to it instead.
00:40:25That-
00:40:27That is not-
00:40:28Is it justice?
00:40:29I think it is.
00:40:30I think watching what you had planned for Leah, done to you, I think that's beyond justice.
00:40:38I think that's mercy.
00:40:41And this is the final mercy that you or your family will ever get from me.
00:40:58Let's try this one more time.
00:40:59Huh?
00:41:00Okay.
00:41:30Princess?
00:41:42I don't see it.
00:41:55I should tell Aaron.
00:41:57He'll know what to do.
00:41:58You'll tell Aaron nothing.
00:42:08With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws, Lizagor's queen in exile has announced
00:42:14her intention to visit Razil.
00:42:16The exact day and purpose is to rinse it.
00:42:19I'm still on stakeout.
00:42:21No leads yet.
00:42:22Do you remember the cologne incident from seven years ago?
00:42:25The one involving your cousin?
00:42:27On your mother's side?
00:42:28Tyler, yes.
00:42:29Hard to forget.
00:42:31I was grateful he got kicked out before Leah had to meet him.
00:42:34Are you sure that I got the last crate?
00:42:36Aaron, when that petty little shit learned you how to favorite anything, he wanted it
00:42:40for himself.
00:42:41But I'm not gonna forget that he bought every last bottle of that cologne.
00:42:45Because General Shelly recruited my help convincing the damn store to make one last run of the
00:42:52stuff for you.
00:42:53I, uh, I 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 kept Stella company the other night.
00:43:04And I need to know if that means what I think it means.
00:43:07I'm already checking the flight records.
00:43:08Ah, hell.
00:43:11He is here.
00:43:21Your cousin has been in Hitchfuck 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 seven included.
00:43:32Damn it!
00:43:32I'm sorry, Aaron.
00:43:36I don't know why he didn't come up on the radar or the CSAT.
00:43:40I do.
00:43:45When my aunt and uncle left the country, their names were flagged for watch.
00:43:49But I argued with Major General Shelly that Tyler was too young to have his name marked with
00:43:53theirs.
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.
00:44:01Unconfirmed.
00:44:02It's possible.
00:44:05Either way, the drugs were his.
00:44:08Yes.
00:44:20Wakey wakey.
00:44:23Ah, there you are.
00:44:25Aaron probably never mentioned me.
00:44:27He and I go way back.
00:44:28And as I told you, Miss Moffat, I know all about you.
00:44:35I wonder, does Aaron still make Ruben do his dirty work and pretend like it was an accident?
00:44:40He always was predictable like that.
00:44:44I reckon you're the same way.
00:44:46You know, he always did gravitate towards similar peas to his pod.
00:44:51And with a face like yours, gravitate indeed.
00:44:56What so his type.
00:44:57But I bet he never mentioned that either.
00:45:01Propriety.
00:45:02Am I right?
00:45:03Can't be seen taking advantage of the sad orphan in his upright, mature care.
00:45:09At least, that's the take Mademoiselle Stella has been hammering home.
00:45:13What a gold digger.
00:45:14What 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 up your life.
00:45:26Most players make their cliché play and sacrifice their pawns.
00:45:31But the patient ones leave them perfectly positioned on the board to 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 close-up?
00:46:01Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:16Now smile and say cheese.
00:46:19He he he he.
00:46:31They're late.
00:46:33They're unprofessionally late.
00:46:35Makes a guy feel lonely.
00:46:38Hmm?
00:46:38Oh, right.
00:46:40You can't talk.
00:46:41Ah!
00:46:43Got anything to say?
00:46:47Who are you?
00:46:49Me?
00:46:50I'm the future general of Harold House.
00:46:54Never.
00:46:56That's what you get for being a smug pea in your provincial little pod.
00:47:01And where have you been?
00:47:03Uh, getting coffee.
00:47:05We can get you an extra 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 bargaining chips at the start.
00:47:26Put them in the fun chair, boys.
00:47:31Do 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.
00:47:52I 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?
00:48:08No.
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 is divided into little categories.
00:48:26They make their leaders earn every little last scrap of power.
00:48:31They can't even conceive of the absolute dominion that is the authority sector of Razul.
00:48:36And inheriting that kind of power, passing it to a capable family member.
00:48:42Because you think you should trust family?
00:48:44Unthinkable.
00:48:46So Aaron here is just a little more worldly than everyone else.
00:48:50Right.
00:48:52Go figure.
00:49:01Oh, she's got it in a bitch after.
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.
00:49:51Aaron and I are overdue for a private chat.
00:49:55And you have officially lost your fly-on-the-wall privileges.
00:50:00You're insane!
00:50:15You're insane!
00:50:18That's what everyone says in the face of a plumbish.
00:50:21Maybe I should go find her.
00:50:29No.
00:50:30This is a mother's duty.
00:50:34Affairs of the heart are complicated.
00:50:36Leah?
00:50:47Please, we can talk about that I was troubling you.
00:50:53Leah?
00:50:54Brenda!
00:51:03Brenda!
00:51:03Brenda!
00:51:13Please, please, please.
00:51:14Don't come any closer!
00:51:17I'm armed!
00:51:22Is that any way to greet your rescuer?
00:51:26Stop struggling.
00:51:26I don't want to cut you, okay?
00:51:28I'm not going anywhere without Aaron.
00:51:29That's not an option.
00:51:31Whether you walk out on your own two feet or I carry you out, it's up to you.
00:51:36Look, you are the hope of our people.
00:51:40It's my duty to protect you.
00:51:41I can't do that if you're off chasing gangsters and kidnappers without a plan.
00:51:46That doesn't matter.
00:51:47I can't just leave him here.
00:51:49Well, from what I know of Aaron, he would not want you putting yourself in harm's way
00:51:54for his sake.
00:51:58Also, your mother is worried sick about you.
00:52:03She finally found her long-lost daughter, the last living member of her family,
00:52:07in your kidnap moments after reuniting.
00:52:10Her worst nightmares are coming true.
00:52:13Fine.
00:52:14But I am coming back for Aaron.
00:52:18I expect nothing less, your highness.
00:52:32Oh, someone's looking a little less lost.
00:52:38You want me to abdicate his major journal in my house?
00:52:42And?
00:52:44And you want me to hand it over to you.
00:52:47See, was that so hard?
00:52:53I am so sorry I couldn't get to you sooner, but since your father died,
00:52:56my contacts in Ruzel have become scattered and limited.
00:52:59I'll be fine, but we need to...
00:53:02Oh, thankfully, I still have a few people I can trust.
00:53:04You've already met my driver, Alexi, and my valet, Ivan, and my dog, Walker, Boris.
00:53:12And, of course, Sir Brendan remains the most loyal and dedicated son of Lysagor.
00:53:19It's my honor to serve.
00:53:22And, fortunately, I'm just one man.
00:53:25Okay, enough.
00:53:26I can't sit here while Aaron is in danger.
00:53:28Now, are you going to help me or not?
00:53:32It's going to take time.
00:53:36We don't have time.
00:53:38Aaron is always there for me, and now he needs me.
00:53:41I have to go.
00:53:42Of course, I wouldn't think of standing in your way, but the fact remains,
00:53:48I have no more resources to give you.
00:53:51You have given me all I need.
00:53:53I have my own resources now.
00:53:56Reuben?
00:54:03You are my last blood relative, so I could install you,
00:54:07but no other major general is going to want to cooperate with you.
00:54:10Oh, I've got plans for that. I got quite good at making plans.
00:54:15How do you like my little empire, by the way?
00:54:17It'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.
00:54:25Doubling as local major general could make that happen.
00:54:28And 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.
00:54:58You son of a bitch!
00:55:06Our mothers are not fair game, Aaron.
00:55:09You set that rule when we were eight, remember?
00:55:13It was you.
00:55:16It was Stella, but yes, it was me too.
00:55:20And it was a lot of fun to watch.
00:55:22General Shelley's daughter exploited the whole aftermath.
00:55:26I just kept tabs.
00:55:29And you defended Stella, didn't you?
00:55:32Dutiful as ever.
00:55:34Of course you did.
00:55:35Hot damn! But 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.
00:55:47And after, you sought her out for the most vital ride of her life.
00:55:51Leah's not in love with me.
00:55:55Oh, you always were dense about the suffering of others.
00:56:03That's okay.
00:56:03I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:11I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:13I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:15Yeah, this is going out, no, no, open up, open up, this is like me, like, go to hell!
00:56:42If I bother, I intend to rule there too.
00:56:47You know, your little miss had me worried for a moment, that I'd brought a bad badge across
00:56:52the border with me.
00:56:53She seemed to take forever to experience the side effects, luckily, she was a fluke.
00:57:06Cut em loose, boys.
00:57:12So...
00:57:17...
00:57:19...
00:57:23...
00:57:27...
00:57:31...
00:57:38Freeze!
00:57:44Should we fight them? Are we being paid enough to fight them?
00:57:48No.
00:57:49Aaron! Aaron, talk to me. Leah!
00:58:07Safe. She's safe, man.
00:58:16Come on, let's get you moved.
00:58:19Oh.
00:58:22Long.
00:58:23Patience.
00:58:24Patience?
00:58:26Aaron 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.
00:58:35Besides, you're the one who decided to call in Reuben. You agreed to follow his orders.
00:58:40Wait, I think I see something. Over there.
00:58:43I can't be certain, but it kind of looks like... it's high.
00:58:49What was that for?
00:58:51Shh!
00:58:52Get out. You don't want him to see us.
00:58:54We can't let that bastard get away.
00:58:58I'm not. You're staying here where it's safe.
00:59:02Fine, but I'm doing this under protest.
00:59:05Protest noted. Now, stay here.
00:59:1197, 98, 99, 100.
00:59:20Aaron, thank God.
00:59:33His skin is hypersensitive right now, and it's only going to get worse. I'm doing what I can to fix the wounds right now.
00:59:40Aaron?
00:59:41Oh, leave.
00:59:42Oh, you're so calm.
00:59:47Oh, sweet girl.
00:59:49He's not making any sense. What's going on?
00:59:51I think you know.
00:59:54Mesmer.
00:59:57Aaron 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.
01:00:09How?
01:00:11I think you know that, too.
01:00:18I 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.
01:00:40Woman.
01:00:55I don't think you know,
01:00:59jump in here.
01:01:00You're right.
01:01:01Don't tell me how hard you have to do this.
01:01:02Look, don't be able to...
01:01:04Do you know what you have to do?
01:01:05I do.
01:01:06I do.
01:01:07You can't reach me.
01:01:08I do.
01:01:09Okay.
01:01:10I'm making more sense,
01:01:11you're on.
01:01:12I'm, you know,
01:01:14I long.
01:01:15And I'm doing, I'm, you know,
01:01:16I'm gonna end up and do my job.
01:01:17Did you know?
01:01:20I did not?
01:01:21No, I'm not.
01:01:22I'm not doing it.
01:01:23I don't have to be close.
01:01:24I'm not doing it.
01:01:55I almost had them.
01:02:00You're welcome.
01:02:02Well, if that's my ability to chase suspects and your ability to open doors, maybe we can
01:02:07pave the way for better international relations.
01:02:10Maybe.
01:02:11If you'd stop playing on Leah.
01:02:14Maybe.
01:02:15If she asked me to.
01:02:17So, where is she?
01:02:20With Aaron.
01:02:25It's inferior to Lizagorty, you know.
01:02:36Don't make me open a door on you, too.
01:02:37How 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, I'll be right back.
01:03:10You love him.
01:03:11I do.
01:03:13And I wish you the best.
01:03:15It's been an honor serving you both.
01:03:20So, what happens now?
01:03:22Well, Lady Tiffany has decided to remain in Rozeal, with you, and placing her safety in the
01:03:30hands of your Major General.
01:03:31But, what about you?
01:03:34I'll see what good I can do in Lizagort.
01:03:36You may be in chaos now, but I'll always remain loyal to the Royal Family.
01:03:43Thank you for everything you've done, for me and for my family.
01:03:47Goodbye, Princess.
01:03:48Princess.
01:03:56Princess.
01:03:57Should I be worried?
01:03:59It's a long story.
01:04:01I'll tell you about it when we get home.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:03But, before there's any other misunderstandings, I want to make something clear.
01:04:08About what?
01:04:09Leah.
01:04:10I love you.
01:04:13I know that might seem sudden, but it's not.
01:04:16Look, over everything we've been through the last few weeks, I just, I just want to ensure
01:04:22that there are not any misunderstandings.
01:04:28I'm so in love with you.
01:04:30And I have been.
01:04:32For a long time.
01:04:35I want you to know.
01:04:37I want everyone to know that.
01:04:43Leah.
01:04:44Please say something.
01:04:45I love you.
01:04:50I love you, too.
01:04:53In that case, shall we let the world know?
01:05:04Leah Jenkins?
01:05:07Will you marry me?
01:05:08Yes.
01:05:10Yes.
01:05:11Oh, my God.
01:05:11Yes.
01:05:11Oh, my God.
01:05:15Oh, my God.
01:05:17Oh, my God.
01:05:17Oh, my God.
01:05:17Oh, my God.
01:05:19Oh, my God.
01:05:21Oh, my God.
01:05:23Oh, my God.
01:05:24Oh, my God.
01:05:25Oh, my God.
01:05:26Oh, my God.
01:05:27Oh, my God.
01:05:28Oh, my God.
01:05:29Oh, my God.
01:05:30Oh, my God.
01:05:31Oh, my God.
01:05:32Oh, my God.
01:05:33Oh, my God.
01:05:33Oh, my God.
01:05:34Oh, my God.
01:05:34Oh, my God.
01:05:34Oh, my God.
01:05:35Oh, my God.
01:05:36Oh, my God.
01:05:36Oh, my God.
01:05:37Hi, General. I didn't realize I'd be seeing you in person today.
01:05:44The situation called for, Lieutenant. You and the Major General have cause to be proud.
01:05:48Thank you, sir.
01:05:53Major General Aaron Harrell, I am here on behalf of Ruat Seal itself to congratulate you on completing your mission and ensuring the safety of our people.
01:06:02The honor is mine, High General Shane.
01:06:03When you first undertook this task, I conferred with my fellow elders.
01:06:08We had faith in your success, and thus already had in mind the next mission that we wish to offer you.
01:06:18We have an undercover mission overseas.
01:06:22We need someone who is truly capable to investigate a colony in Ithbeck.
01:06:26Hi, General. I thank you. I do.
01:06:31But I already know I cannot accept.
01:06:33You can't.
01:06:34An undercover mission to Ithbeck would interfere with planning my wedding.
01:06:43You were...
01:06:46Oh, I see.
01:06:49The utmost congratulations to you, Major General.
01:06:51May you both flourish.
01:06:54Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:04Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:11You
