Short filmTranscript
00:00:00When I was seven,
00:00:30I had no memory of being six, it didn't matter.
00:00:34My parents adopted me because they loved me.
00:00:37And Aaron? Aaron took me in because he cared.
00:00:43But even then, I didn't know how much.
00:00:48As I carried him, so he would carry me
00:00:52through so much. This
00:00:56is only where it begins.
00:00:58Yeah? Hi, Aaron. Where have you been?
00:01:02Where have you been? Getting 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. Sometimes that means taking some hits.
00:01:17Well, I would say congratulations, but I know you only probably got the position early
00:01:23because your father's health failed, too.
00:01:26Yeah, he's gone. Lester heard your parents were dead, too. And your aunt and uncle overtaking
00:01:32you, and...
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.
00:01:41What?
00:01:42Going from friends to being family isn't that weird of a leap, right?
00:01:46I'm sorry I'm late. I was turning in my paper.
00:01:59You'll just have to catch up with us.
00:02:01Hey, this is my new best friend as of yesterday, T. New bestie, this is Leah. When was the last
00:02:10time I saw you?
00:02:11Uh, a few months ago, at your father's funeral. I'm so sorry.
00:02:15Don't worry about it. I'm over it.
00:02:19But he's your dad.
00:02:21Was my dad. You understand. When you work for the Authority Sector, you have no time for
00:02:27family.
00:02:28Well, Aaron has plenty of time for-
00:02:30Aaron. Aaron. Aaron. Aaron. Enough about Aaron. Don't talk to me about him. He has no
00:02:37time for me.
00:02:38Calm down, Benzel. I've got just the thing you need.
00:02:45Oh. Uh, none for me, thanks. Brendan! Hi!
00:02:54Leah. Fancy seeing you outside the classroom again. You're not spying on me, are you?
00:03:01No, I'm not. I promise. And I did do my paper on the Civil War in Lisegore before I arrived.
00:03:08Great. And I'm looking forward to reading what you know about my mother country.
00:03:15So, who's the hottie? Your boy?
00:03:26Oh, that's just Brendan. He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:30Mmm. I think he likes you. You should show him your appreciation for all of his hard work.
00:03:36Here's to being appreciated for all of our hard work.
00:03:51Um, will you excuse me? I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:56Mm-hmm. The restroom. Right. Have fun.
00:04:02No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. What's the situation report?
00:04:23What's the situation report?
00:04:33We've traced the distribution of their new designer drug to this club.
00:04:37We were able to get a sample of it, and the lab boffins determined there are markers in
00:04:40the chemical composition which determine it's a class 7.
00:04:44Damn it!
00:04:46What can you tell me about this mesmer?
00:04:49It's fast acting, and it was originally developed as a date rape drug.
00:04:53It raises libido, lowers inhibition, causes memory loss, and induces a potentially fatal
00:05:06brain fever in the victim.
00:05:08It also increases the sensitivity of the nerve receptors, causing intense sensations of pain
00:05:14and pleasure.
00:05:23So 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.
00:05:42And if you suddenly become a bottomless little pit of need, you might just jump anything with
00:05:52a pulse to see if it fills you.
00:05:55It's so pretty.
00:05:57We need a doctor!
00:05:59This is what I think it is?
00:06:01A doctor can't help her.
00:06:03What is it?
00:06:05Mesmer.
00:06:06Are you certain?
00:06:08As certain as I can be, without a blood test.
00:06:11Alright.
00:06:12You said the drug causes a potentially fatal brain fever?
00:06:16Look, if a doctor can't help her, then who can?
00:06:20What's the cure?
00:06:22There is no cure.
00:06:23No antidote.
00:06:24We can only mitigate these symptoms.
00:06:28Mitigate how?
00:06:31The only known treatment is skin contact.
00:06:35Lots of skin contact.
00:06:40I don't know if she's seen anyone.
00:06:42We haven't talked about her love life in over a year.
00:06:45I have a suggestion.
00:06:46Maybe.
00:06:47Look, it can't just be anyone.
00:06:51She's too precious.
00:06:52It has to be someone that she loves.
00:06:54You.
00:06:55I want it to be you.
00:06:59Only you.
00:07:04I'll be outside if you need me.
00:07:34I'll be outside if you need me.
00:07:52I'm bored.
00:07:57Don't worry.
00:07:58I got just the thing.
00:07:59This has all the benefits and none of the drawbacks.
00:08:04I'll even throw it in for free.
00:08:11Ooh.
00:08:14Hey.
00:08:19You want to help me ride through this trip?
00:08:22Sorry.
00:08:23I don't offer those services.
00:08:28You smell just like him.
00:08:31We've got places to go, but I do have a couple of friends who are more than willing to help
00:08:36you out.
00:08:37For a price.
00:08:38Friends.
00:08:39Plural.
00:08:40Yes, please.
00:08:44It was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:08:51Last night, the authority sector proceeded with a drug bust at a bar in the East End.
00:09:01Excuse me.
00:09:02They report that while their seizure of the drugs was successful, the leader of the ring remains
00:09:08at large.
00:09:09His true name still a mystery.
00:09:10One of the people arrested at the scene is the daughter of a recently fallen major general.
00:09:16University student Stella Shelly remains held for questioning.
00:09:23What?
00:09:24How dare they?
00:09:25Gary?
00:09:26Aaron better not have anything to do with this.
00:09:29I'm afraid that Major General Aaron Harold was in charge of the raid mom.
00:09:36It appears that Ms. Stella is being held in the same facility as last time.
00:09:40Call the lawyers.
00:09:42Yeah, thanks for the update and send Leah my love- uh, let her know I will call and check
00:10:03on her later.
00:10:12Mrs. Shelley, what may I do for you?
00:10:20You can begin by explaining why you had my daughter arrested,
00:10:23especially after you promised my husband that you'd take care of us.
00:10:26You know I can't comment on ongoing authority sector investigations.
00:10:30At the time of the arrest, I was unaware of Stella's presence at the site.
00:10:35Be that as it may, you could have done something to prevent her name from being released to the press.
00:10:39Do you know how I felt hearing about my daughter's arrest?
00:10:43Like she was a common criminal? It was an embarrassment.
00:10:47I'm sure it isn't Erin's fault.
00:10:50I know. I put myself in a vulnerable situation.
00:10:55Sometimes, I just get so upset about Daddy's death.
00:10:59I miss him so much.
00:11:04I'll see what I can do.
00:11:07Very well then.
00:11:08In the meantime, you must come to lunch at our place.
00:11:11Just to show we've put this shameful business behind us.
00:11:15Certainly.
00:11:16What happened?
00:11:31You were right, Ms. Jenkins.
00:11:33You had a very harsh encounter with a Class 7 drug.
00:11:36We 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.
00:11:52Lucky new.
00:11:53Lucky?
00:11:54Yes.
00:11:54Most people would need to be held for observation for weeks, but you're almost good as new.
00:12:01I am?
00:12:02Yes.
00:12:03I actually did a paper on this condition back in school.
00:12:06There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:12:10There's the monks of Ithbac, the old ostocracy of Lissagor, and the nudist colony.
00:12:16In...
00:12:17If you're done with your examination, I'll sit the two of you up.
00:12:21Anything for the Major General.
00:12:27So, what really happened?
00:12:29Aaron treated you.
00:12:41Then he carried you home, and he delegated the mission to me.
00:12:44I finished the bust.
00:12:46Okay, I remember going to find you guys, and...
00:12:49And I remember asking him something, but I want to know what...
00:12:54We seized the contraband, but we failed to ID the ringleader.
00:12:58We know he got away.
00:13:01Wasn't what I was asking.
00:13:03I mean, it was, but it's not what I want to know first.
00:13:08I know.
00:13:09But you were in trouble, and we were short on time.
00:13:14Aaron did what he had to do.
00:13:17Hey, we never have to talk about this again.
00:13:24Don't we?
00:13:28What are you doing?
00:13:41I wanted to talk to you after class.
00:13:43What, so you can criticize me about how I'm not taking my studies seriously enough?
00:13:46Yeah, no thanks.
00:13:47You actually made some good points in your paper.
00:13:49You just, you didn't go far enough.
00:13:51You didn't cover half the required topics, and between that and the grammar,
00:13:53I just couldn't give you a better grade.
00:13:55Professor Olsen hasn't looked at the grades yet.
00:13:57I could temporarily lose your paper for a couple of days and give you the opportunity to rewrite it.
00:14:04Really?
00:14:05Thank you so much.
00:14:08I'm going to get started right away.
00:14:12Hey.
00:14:14Tough teachers are a bummer.
00:14:16Oh, that, that was entirely my fault.
00:14:19Oh, really?
00:14:21Well, 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 to help you when some professor is giving you a hard time.
00:14:31It's not fair.
00:14:32But you know, it strikes me, I don't know you as well as I ought.
00:14:37After all, you aren't Aaron's family, and who knows what the future holds.
00:14:41So, in order for bygones to be bygones, I got you a gift.
00:14:47Oh, there's no need.
00:14:49I don't have it with me now, but how about I stop by Aaron's house and say an hour?
00:14:54Honestly, we're good.
00:14:57So ungrateful.
00:15:00Stuck up bitch.
00:15:06How's two or three sound?
00:15:08Oh, perfect.
00:15:11Toodles.
00:15:11I don't think you were still coming.
00:15:34I would never break my word.
00:15:37Oh, poor thing.
00:15:49It appears my gift is more needed than I thought.
00:15:54Uh, thank you.
00:15:56I'm sorry, I really think you should go.
00:15:58I've got some homework to get back to.
00:16:00Oh, don't be ridiculous.
00:16:02I want to see how it fits.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:07Aaron.
00:16:17Aaron.
00:16:18Stella, didn't expect to see you here.
00:16:20I hope we're still on for lunch tomorrow.
00:16:22Yeah, that's fine.
00:16:23Awesome.
00:16:24We'll be all so excited to see you.
00:16:25oh my god what'd you do to it no it was already like this i just came out to show you if you
00:16:33didn't like it you could just say so or just accept it and not wear it honestly what no i

00:16:41i thought leah and i could take a date of bond after all she and i both went through something
00:16:49so terrible but it's like like she blames me or something you know but you would know better

00:17:44it's not daddy loved aaron he always knew that he'd become part of the family one day
00:17:51i just didn't think he'd die before he got the chance to see it happen and i understand that
00:17:57aaron needs some time to grieve before he and i can really become an us
00:18:01you and aaron
00:18:03look i get it more than you know he's taken such good care of you
00:18:09and he's strong powerful not to mention is everything
00:18:15what are you talking about
00:18:17for some of us it's a babysitter for others it's a teacher
00:18:21or your mom's boy toy
00:18:23point is that we've all had inappropriate relationships
00:18:26inappropriate

00:18:30it can seem a little weird but i can keep a secret

00:19:01yeah i mean i don't have any post-graduation plans yet
00:19:06okay
00:19:06well my bad
00:19:09i thought that'd be was a fluke
00:19:11i just know that striking out on your own can be really important
00:19:15and you're going to need distance
00:19:17especially if aaron encouraged you
00:19:21oh no he's
00:19:23i didn't mean to imply that
00:19:24no of course not

00:20:14uh mrs shelley invited me
00:20:17she wasn't particularly happy about stella's arrest but i think the lunch is a chance to talk some things over
00:20:22well her arrest was like five minutes long
00:20:25this is major general shelley's family leah
00:20:31he was dying when he asked me to take care of them
00:20:35going to lunch
00:20:36that's like the least i can do
00:20:38no yeah i know that
00:20:41but i also know that stella was one of the last people i talked to before i
00:20:47started to feel that drug
00:20:49but here's to being appreciated
00:20:50for all our hard work
00:21:00do you think she did it?

00:21:04no
00:21:08you weren't the only one under the influence of something that night
00:21:11so was stella
00:21:13granted she might have taken it herself
00:21:17and i can understand why she might not want to admit that but
00:21:20she's not our primary suspect
00:21:22who is?
00:21:24that ta who's been following you around
00:21:27brendan martin

00:21:52brendan's not a criminal

00:23:48stella was quite loose-lipped when i picked her up from the facility
00:23:52she smelled of

00:23:54certain liberties
00:23:55and she kept sniffing at her sleeves
00:23:57when i ask
00:23:58she babbled on about a wild night
00:24:01and still having the smell of your cologne on her clothes
00:24:04i know my daughter might not be so forthcoming at the moment

00:26:53what was that?
00:26:57did that spark any memories?
00:26:58any memories? I don't know what you're talking about. Do you remember who gave
00:27:05you the doll? Your mother. My mother is dead. Why are you doing this? Please don't
00:27:16touch me. Touch her again and I'll kill you. How long you've been following us?
00:27:23Why did you give her the drugs? Don't know what the hell you're talking about.
00:27:27Get off me. Calm down. I'm fine. You didn't sound fine. I was upset but not with him. At
00:27:35least not enough for this. I invited him over. I don't need you to play knight in
00:27:41shining armor. I need you to leave. Now. We'll talk later.
00:27:48All right.
00:27:52I don't want that man in my house. Okay you know what last time I checked
00:27:57this was my house too. He's been spying on you and he's working for the ring.
00:28:02Who told you that? Little miss I can do no wrong Stella. Oh leave her out of this.
00:28:07Why? What are you gonna do? Marry her? What? No. Well you might want to tell her that.
00:28:27Mama where are you?
00:28:46Leah darling we need to go now.
00:28:51What is it? Please come meet with me. It's urgent. I told you I need time. I know but there isn't any more time. I need you to meet me at the airport lot. I'm not gonna leave the country with you. It's nothing like that. I need your help now.
00:28:58I need your help to welcome someone. Please. It's important.
00:29:26I need sleep. Meet me in the morning then. Flight arrives in four hours. You have time for three more hours of rest. I have a headache. You can earn extra credit for the class. Fine.
00:29:48You have time for three more hours.
00:29:55Leah.
00:29:56Leah.
00:29:57Leah.
00:29:58Leah.
00:29:59Leah.
00:30:00Leah.
00:30:01Leah.
00:30:02Leah.
00:30:03Oh my god. She's fine. She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:16Did she say what kind of errand it was? No.
00:30:20Okay. Okay.
00:30:33Okay.
00:30:34Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay!
00:30:43Man, please tell me we have something on my damn cousin and that damn drug ring.
00:30:51Afraid not, boss. However, we did find something interesting regarding something else entirely.
00:31:04I'm not committing to anything. You know, for all I know, they're just weird dreams.
00:31:14Do you want to tell me about your dreams?
00:31:16When we were kids, did we used to play together?
00:31:23And you had a pet frog named Mortimer!
00:31:29All my dreams are real.
00:31:32Do you have any other memories? Maybe of your family?
00:31:37Yes, Mama.
00:31:38Just a soft voice. Reminders to sit up straight. Rule wisely.
00:31:45That's right. You're a princess, Leah.
00:31:47A princess? It can't be.
00:31:51There are tests that can prove it.
00:31:53The easiest is to look for specific antibodies which can be traced back to the blood of the Lizagor family.
00:31:59Yeah.
00:32:00There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:32:04I'm immune to the after effects of class 7 drugs.
00:32:08Are you certain?
00:32:10Help me.
00:32:12Still processing?
00:32:14Understatement.
00:32:22You've been waiting a long time to do that.
00:32:24Waiting a long time for it to mean something.
00:32:26Who are we meeting?
00:32:27Lady Tiffany Altiman. Queen of Lizagor. Your mother.
00:32:32Mama. Leah.
00:32:35Your Majesty. Your Highness. We ought to move somewhere more private.
00:32:42Excuse me.
00:32:45I suppose you were too young to remember what Lizagor was like before you left.
00:32:53Um, I lost my memories in an accident when I was seven.
00:32:58There was a coup following a bloody civil war.
00:33:02Your father and I, we feared for your safety.
00:33:05We sent you out of the country ahead of the rest of the family.
00:33:09That word of your escape got to our enemies.
00:33:13And they sabotaged your route.
00:33:16That's when we got the news that you had died.
00:33:24Once Lady Tiffany and Lord Edmund were trapped in the country as political prisoners,
00:33:28none of their allies could contact them.
00:33:30Uh, Lord Edmund?
00:33:32Your father.
00:33:33He was a good man and a brave one.
00:33:36He loved you very much.
00:33:40What happened to him?
00:33:41He died in prison.
00:33:42Two years ago I was able to find Lady Tiffany and tell her the news.
00:33:47News?
00:33:48I found the lost princess.
00:33:50Oh, shh.
00:33:51Shh.
00:33:52Darling.
00:33:53We can be a family once more.
00:33:56No.
00:33:57No, I have a family.
00:33:58Aaron-
00:33:59Yes, of course.
00:34:00The Jenkins.
00:34:01We will never forget the Jenkins.
00:34:02No.
00:34:03No.
00:34:04Aaron.
00:34:05He needs to know.
00:34:06Oh, I-
00:34:07Who?
00:34:08Aaron Harold.
00:34:09He took Leigh in after the Jenkins died.
00:34:11He's quite protective of her.
00:34:14Oh, of course.
00:34:15We will show our gratitude on him as well.
00:34:18He won't have to worry about you anymore.
00:34:21Oh, your fiancé is more than capable of protecting you.
00:34:25My what?
00:34:27Your fiancé.
00:34:30Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:34No.
00:34:36Oh.
00:34:37I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:44I was getting to it.
00:34:46Brendan?
00:34:47My defense, your majesty.
00:34:49You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:34:52What was I supposed to do?
00:34:53It is one of our oldest traditions for the heir of the crown.
00:34:56To marry a friend born into the espionage sector.
00:35:01The curriculum of this place is a bit lacking, I'm afraid.
00:35:05It makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:15Yes?
00:35:16Stella, I require an update on Aaron.
00:35:18I want a timeline on your nuptials.
00:35:20It's not that easy, Mom.
00:35:22I'm sorry.
00:35:23Do you wish to find yourself pregnant and destitute in a West End back alley?
00:35:28Just because I can't get a Major General to marry me right away?
00:35:31It doesn't mean that nobody would at all.
00:35:33I guarantee every woman trapped in that back alley told herself the same thing.
00:35:37No excuses, Stella.
00:35:40I've just got to take care of that Leah first.
00:35:43I've got a plan to show her that I mean business.
00:35:46You should already be on the next step.
00:35:48I'm working on Aaron, okay?
00:35:50Is this going to take-
00:35:52Stella?
00:35:53You will say goodbye to your mother properly, young lady.
00:36:00Oh.
00:36:01It's going to look great.
00:36:02You like that?
00:36:04Oh, that's nice.
00:36:05That's nice.
00:36:06And, uh...
00:36:13Damn.
00:36:14I'm forgetting something.
00:36:15I'm forgetting something.
00:36:16I'm forgetting something.
00:36:17Oh.
00:36:20You idiot!
00:36:21I was the one who hired you.
00:36:23You got the wrong girl!
00:36:24Oh, but...
00:36:26You know, that's really rich.
00:36:29That's a good one.
00:36:31I've never heard that before.
00:36:32That's cute, even.
00:36:34I was not-
00:36:35Listen.
00:36:36I got my marching orders, Missy.
00:36:38I'm here to grab Stella Shelley.
00:36:42And that is 100% you.
00:36:46I gave you this damn assignment.
00:36:49Pick up target.
00:36:50Transport gagged in car.
00:36:52Tie up in public space.
00:36:54Beat bread props.
00:36:56And dress up with humiliating message.
00:37:00Oh, my God.
00:37:01I did not mean breadcrumbs literally!
00:37:05A.
00:37:06You just described our whole morning,
00:37:08so that means nothing to me, okay?
00:37:10And B.
00:37:11I ain't getting paid to be creative.
00:37:13Overpriced hack!
00:37:17Why do young people gotta take things so personally?
00:37:21Last step.
00:37:24Humiliating message.
00:37:26Hmm.
00:37:31My fiancé is a major general.
00:37:34And once he hears about this,
00:37:36you are done!
00:37:40Oh, I'm scared.
00:37:42Let's do it.
00:37:45Get this off of me.
00:37:46No.
00:37:47You may recall a black market site we were researching a few months back.
00:37:56A henchman for hire?
00:37:58Still can't believe they went with that name.
00:38:01It's accurate.
00:38:02One of our guys cracked the encryption on one of their servers.
00:38:11Finally.
00:38:13We do have to move quickly.
00:38:15They have a rather disturbing policy when it comes to compromised counts.
00:38:19It's automation and it's finicky.
00:38:22Can we hack it?
00:38:24Maybe, but I'd rather we handled this one personally.
00:38:27There's some prominent people who've been using their services.
00:38:33I'd ask you if you're sure about this.
00:38:36But it's already in progress.
00:38:40I'm sure.
00:38:41And I'm not sorry.
00:38:47Somebody help me please!
00:38:49Oh my god, Aaron.
00:38:51I'm so glad to see you.
00:38:56I'm so glad to see you.
00:38:57You have to get the guy who did this to me.
00:39:01You have to arrest him.
00:39:05Aaron.
00:39:07Aaron, are you hearing me?
00:39:10Oh, I hear you.
00:39:12And I will.
00:39:14Do you know what happens when henchmen for hire servers detect authority sector tampering with a client's accounts?
00:39:20No.
00:39:22How would I know I-
00:39:23They flag the potentially compromised client's accounts.
00:39:27And flag them for death.
00:39:29I don't see how this is relevant to me, Aaron.
00:39:33Ruben cut the funding to your accounts before he realized.
00:39:36Ruben's a liar.
00:39:38Stop!
00:39:40Ruben has never lied to me.
00:39:42And he never will.
00:39:43And besides, you're missing the point.
00:39:47Um, what's the point?
00:39:50This was originally going to be an assassination attempt, Stella!
00:39:53So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:39:59So don't you ever say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:02I'm not feeling very protected at the moment, considering I'm still here.
00:40:06And the guy who did this to me is still out there.
00:40:10We found a way to redirect the system.
00:40:13Got it to select the most recent assignment that you had assigned to it instead.
00:40:17That-
00:40:19That is not-
00:40:20Justice!
00:40:21I think it is.
00:40:23I think watching what you had planned for Leah, done to you.
00:40:28I think that's beyond justice.
00:40:30I think that's mercy.
00:40:33And this is the final mercy that you or your family will ever get from me.
00:40:43Let's try this one more time.
00:40:47Huh?
00:40:49Let's try this one more time.
00:40:51Huh?
00:40:53Not really a few people.
00:40:55Right from the end, that's all right.
00:40:57What can I do?
00:40:58That's all right.
00:41:00We're all right.
00:41:02We're all right.
00:41:04We're all right.
00:41:05We're all right.
00:41:07We're here.
00:41:09We're all right.
00:41:11We're all right.
00:41:13And we're right.
00:41:14Princess?
00:41:33Princess?
00:41:37I don't see it.
00:41:44I should tell Arryn. He'll know what to do.
00:41:51You'll tell Arryn nothing.
00:41:59With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws, Lizagor's Queen in Exile has announced her intention to visit Razil. The exact day and purpose is to rinse it.
00:42:10I'm still on stakeout. No leads yet.
00:42:13Do you remember the cologne incident from seven years ago?
00:42:16The one involving your cousin? On your mother's side?
00:42:19Tyler, yes.
00:42:20Hard to forget. I was grateful he got kicked out before Leah had to meet him.
00:42:24Are you sure that I got the last crate?
00:42:26Arryn, when that petty little shit learned you how to favorite anything, he wanted it for himself.
00:42:32But I'm not gonna forget that he bought every last bottle of that cologne. Because...
00:42:39Because General Shelley recruited my help convincing the damn store to make one last run of the stuff for you.
00:42:44I, uh... I didn't know that.
00:42:47Don't worry about it. I did it half for you and half out of spite.
00:42:51Someone who smelled like me kept Stella company the other night. And I need to know if that means what I think it means.
00:42:57I'm already checking the flight records.
00:43:00Oh, hell. He is here.
00:43:12Your cousin has been a hit bet in the past two years.
00:43:15And hasn't been to visit any monks.
00:43:18Not unless those monks were running a lot of drugs. Class seven included.
00:43:23Damn it!
00:43:25I'm sorry, Arryn. I don't know why he didn't come up on the radar or the CSAT.
00:43:31I do.
00:43:36When my aunt and uncle left the country, their names were flagged for watch.
00:43:40But I argued with Major General Shelley that Tyler was too young to have his name marked with theirs.
00:43:44So Tyler raised no alarms when he crossed the border.
00:43:47And now he could be the one who drugged Leah.
00:43:51Unconfirmed.
00:43:53But possible.
00:43:56Either way, the drugs were his.
00:43:59Yes.
00:44:11Wakey wakey.
00:44:14Ah.
00:44:15There you are.
00:44:16Arryn probably never mentioned me.
00:44:18He and I go way back.
00:44:21And as I told you, Miss Moffat, I know all about you.
00:44:26I wonder.
00:44:28Does Arryn still make Ruben do his dirty work and pretend like it was an accident?
00:44:32He always was predictable like that.
00:44:35I reckon you're the same way.
00:44:39You know, he always did gravitate towards similar peas to his pod.
00:44:43And with a face like yours, gravitate indeed.
00:44:47Or so his type.
00:44:50But I bet he never mentioned that either.
00:44:52Propriety, am I right?
00:44:55Can't be seen taking advantage of the sad orphan in his upright, mature care.
00:45:00At least, that's the take Mademoiselle Stella has been hammering home.
00:45:05What a gold digger.
00:45:06I admire that in a bitch.
00:45:09Oh, stop your fretting.
00:45:11You're a hostage.
00:45:12You've got, oh, a 40% chance of making it up alive.
00:45:17Most players make their cliché play and sacrifice their pawns.
00:45:22But the patient ones leave them perfectly positioned on the board to take advantage of the other guy.
00:45:31And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:39Are you ready for your close-up?
00:45:52Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:07Now smile and say cheese.
00:46:23They're late.
00:46:25They're unprofessionally late.
00:46:28Makes a guy feel lonely.
00:46:29Hm?
00:46:31Oh, right.
00:46:32You can't talk.
00:46:34Ah!
00:46:37Got anything to say?
00:46:39Who are you?
00:46:41Me?
00:46:42I'm the future general of Harold House.
00:46:45No.
00:46:48That's what you get for being a smug pea in your provincial little pod.
00:46:53And where have you been?
00:46:55Getting coffee.
00:46:56We can get you an extra if you want.
00:46:58Get into your positions.
00:46:59Slay.
00:47:03Aaron!
00:47:08Let her go.
00:47:10I said if you came alone, you would see her alive.
00:47:14That doesn't mean I'm relinquishing bargaining chips at the start.
00:47:18Put them in the fun chair, boys.
00:47:23Do you want me to drop the search for you?
00:47:26For your drug ring?
00:47:28Wait, he's the-
00:47:29Yes, Miss Muffet.
00:47:31I know this one is shit at keeping you informed.
00:47:34But do try and keep up.
00:47:37You know, I want so much more.
00:47:40And you owe me so much more.
00:47:44I kept your name from being flagged.
00:47:46You kept my-
00:47:47You turned me in!
00:47:49I turned your parents in.
00:47:50And me along with them.
00:47:52Oh, don't act so high and mighty about this now.
00:47:55You took my parents down that shithole.
00:47:57And you expect me to be grateful?
00:47:59Maybe I should thank you.
00:48:08After all, I did get to see the world because of you.
00:48:11Exile would do that to a kid.
00:48:13The jurisdiction of the law in these other countries is divided into little categories.
00:48:18They make their leaders earn every little last scrap of power.
00:48:22They can't even conceive of the absolute dominion that is the authority sector of Razul.
00:48:28And inheriting that kind of power?
00:48:30Passing it to a capable family member.
00:48:33Because you think you should trust family?
00:48:36Unthinkable.
00:48:38So Aaron here is just a little more worldly than everyone else.
00:48:42Right.
00:48:43Go figure.
00:48:44To be continued...
00:48:58To be continued...
00:49:02So...
00:49:14Oh, she's got it in a bitch after me.
00:49:22You hurt her, and you get nothing from me.
00:49:26And I know you want something from me.
00:49:28More than just my pain.
00:49:34You know what, Miss Muffet?
00:49:36You've officially gotten annoying.
00:49:39Erin and I are overdue for a private chat.
00:49:46And you have officially lost your fly-on-the-wall privileges.
00:49:56FYI, your personal hostage survival rate is dropping!
00:50:01You're insane!
00:50:06You're insane!
00:50:09That's what everyone says in the face of it, Flavish.
00:50:18Maybe I should go find her.
00:50:20No.
00:50:22This is a mother's duty.
00:50:26Affairs of the heart are complicated.
00:50:34Leah!
00:50:35Leah!
00:50:35Please, we can talk about that I was troubling you.
00:50:45Leah!
00:50:45Brenda!
00:50:55Brenda!
00:51:05Please, please, please.
00:51:06Don't come any closer!
00:51:08I'm armed!
00:51:10I'm armed!
00:51:13Is that any way to greet your rescuer?
00:51:17Stop struggling.
00:51:18I don't want to cut you, okay?
00:51:19I'm not going anywhere without Erin.
00:51:21That's not an option.
00:51:22Whether you walk out on your own two feet,
00:51:25I carry you out.
00:51:26It's up to you.
00:51:28Look, you are the hope of our people.
00:51:32It's my duty to protect you.
00:51:33I can't do that if you're off chasing gangsters and kidnappers without a plan.
00:51:37That doesn't matter.
00:51:39I can't just leave him here.
00:51:41Well, from what I know of Erin,
00:51:43he would not want you putting yourself in harm's way for his sake.
00:51:50Also, your mother is worried sick about you.
00:51:54She finally found her long-lost daughter,
00:51:56the last living member of her family,
00:51:58in your kidnap moments after reuniting.
00:52:02Her worst nightmares are coming true.
00:52:05Fine.
00:52:06But I am coming back for Erin.
00:52:09I expect nothing less, Your Highness.
00:52:24Oh, someone's looking a little less lost.
00:52:29You want me to abdicate his major journal in my house?
00:52:33And?
00:52:36And you want me to hand it over to you.
00:52:38See?
00:52:39Was that so hard?
00:52:44I am so sorry we couldn't get to you sooner,
00:52:47but since your father died,
00:52:48my contacts in Roo's will have become scattered and limited.
00:52:51I'll be fine, but we need to...
00:52:53Oh, thankfully, I still have a few people I can trust.
00:52:56You've already met my driver, Alexei,
00:52:59and my valet, Ivan,
00:53:02and my dog, Walker, Boris.
00:53:04And, of course, Sir Brendan remains
00:53:06the most loyal and dedicated son of Lysagor.
00:53:11It's my honor to serve.
00:53:14And, fortunately, I'm just one man.
00:53:16Okay, enough.
00:53:18I can't sit here while Erin is in danger.
00:53:20Now, are you going to help me or not?
00:53:23It's going to take time.
00:53:28We don't have time.
00:53:30Erin is always there for me,
00:53:32and now he needs me.
00:53:33I have to go.
00:53:35Of course, I wouldn't think of standing in your way,
00:53:38but the fact remains,
00:53:40I have no more resources to give you.
00:53:43You have given me all I need.
00:53:46I have my own resources now.
00:53:48Ruben?
00:53:55You are my last blood relative,
00:53:57so I could install you,
00:53:59but no other Major General is going to want to cooperate with you.
00:54:02Oh, I've got plans for that.
00:54:04I got quite good at making plans.
00:54:06How do you like my little empire, by the way?
00:54:08It's a drug ring.
00:54:09It's the start of a kingdom,
00:54:12and one that would run much smoother
00:54:14if it wasn't forced to operate in the shadows.
00:54:17Doubling as local Major General could make that happen.
00:54:21And I intend to use the damn position
00:54:23to make a lot of things happen.
00:54:26Unlike you, sitting on your arse
00:54:29while your underlings do their sad little attempts at a bust.
00:54:34Or should I say, topping out.
00:54:37What?
00:54:38Oh, yes, guys.
00:54:39I do know your dirtiest little secret.
00:54:43I should.
00:54:45I helped make it happen.
00:54:46You son of a bitch!
00:54:58Our mothers are not fair game, Aaron.
00:55:01You set that rule when we were eight.
00:55:03Remember?
00:55:05It was you.
00:55:07It was Stella, but yes, it was me too.
00:55:11And it was a lot of fun to watch.
00:55:14General Shelley's daughter exploited the whole aftermath.
00:55:18I just kept tabs.
00:55:21And you defended Stella, didn't you?
00:55:23Dutiful as ever.
00:55:25Of course you did.
00:55:28Ha!
00:55:29Damn!
00:55:30But if I could be a fly on that wall,
00:55:32watching you tell the girl who's in love with you
00:55:35that she has to take that bitch's shit.
00:55:39And after, you sought her out
00:55:41for the most vital ride of her life.
00:55:44Leah's not in love with me.
00:55:47Oh, you always were dense
00:55:49about the suffering of others.
00:55:52That's okay.
00:55:57I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:00I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:06Ha!
00:56:06Ha!
00:56:14You know, your little miss had me worried for a moment
00:56:17that I brought a bad badge across the border with me.
00:56:21She seemed to take forever to experience the side effects.
00:56:23Luckily, she was a fluke.
00:56:25Ha!
00:56:25Ha!
00:56:30Ha!
00:56:32Go to hell!
00:56:33If I bother, I intend to rule there too.
00:56:37Ha!
00:56:37Ha!
00:56:38You know, your little miss had me worried for a moment
00:56:41that I brought a bad badge across the border with me.
00:56:45She seemed to take forever to experience the side effects.
00:56:48Luckily, she was a fluke.
00:56:50Cut him loose, boys.
00:56:59Cut him loose, boys.

00:57:29Fuck.
00:57:30Freeze!
00:57:36Should we fight them?
00:57:37Are we being paid enough to fight them?
00:57:39No.
00:57:50Aaron.
00:57:51Aaron.
00:57:52Talk to me.
00:57:53Leah.
00:57:54Safe.
00:57:55She's safe, man.
00:57:56Oh.
00:57:57Come on.

01:01:55With my ability to chase suspects and your ability to open doors, maybe we can pave the
01:01:59way for better international relations.
01:02:02Maybe.
01:02:03If you'd stop crying on Leah.
01:02:05Maybe.
01:02:06If she asked me to.
01:02:09So where is she?
01:02:12With Aaron.
01:02:17It's inferior to Lizard Gorty, you know.
01:02:28Don't make me open a door on you two.
01:02:37How are you feeling?
01:02:46Sure.
01:02:47Thanks to Leah.
01:02:49Good.
01:02:51But I still need to get you checked out.
01:02:53I called the doctor and she's going to meet you at home when you arrive.
01:02:57Um, I'll be right back.
01:03:02You love him.
01:03:03I do.
01:03:04And I wish you the best.
01:03:07It's been an honor serving you both.
01:03:12So what happens now?
01:03:14Well, Lady Tiffany has decided to remain in Rozeal, with you, and placing her safety
01:03:21in the hands of your major general.
01:03:23But what about you?
01:03:25I'll see what good I can do in Lizard Gorty.
01:03:27You may be in chaos now, but I'll always remain loyal to the royal family.
01:03:34Thank you for everything you've done, for me and for my family.
01:03:37Goodbye, Princess.
01:03:44Princess, should I be worried?
01:03:49It's a long story.
01:03:50I'll tell you about it when we get home.
01:03:52I'll tell you about it when we get home.
01:03:54Okay.
01:03:55But before there's any other misunderstandings, I want to make something clear.
01:03:59About what?
01:04:00Leah, I love you.
01:04:04I know that might seem sudden, but it's not.
01:04:09Look, over everything we've been through the last few weeks, I just...
01:04:13I just want to ensure that there are not any misunderstandings.
01:04:16I'm so in love with you.
01:04:21And I have been.
01:04:23For a long time.
01:04:26I want you to know.
01:04:28I want everyone to know that.
01:04:34Leah, please say something.
01:04:36I love you.
01:04:41I love you too.
01:04:44In that case, shall we let the world know?
01:04:55Leah Jenkins?
01:04:58Will you marry me?
01:04:59Yes.
01:05:00Yes.
01:05:01Oh my God.
01:05:28You're welcome.
01:05:29Hi, General.
01:05:31I didn't realize I'd be seeing you in person today.
01:05:34The situation called for, Lieutenant.
01:05:36You and the Major General have cause to be proud.
01:05:39Thank you, sir.
01:05:40Major General Aaron Harrell, I am here on behalf of Ruat Seal itself to congratulate
01:05:49you on completing your mission and ensuring the safety of our people.
01:05:53The honor is mine, High General Sheng.
01:05:55When you first undertook this task, I conferred with my fellow elders.
01:06:00We had faith in your success, and thus already had in mind the next mission that we wish
01:06:04to offer you.
