00:00My thumbs flew over the controller at lightning speed as I battled my co-worker Andy while everyone else cheered from the sides.
00:07How did you get that level up? Where have you learned these moves?
00:11From the deep dark corners of the internet, my friend. And I'm about to own your butt.
00:15With that, I unleashed my final secret move and blew up the enemy.
00:19You're a loser, I'm a winner, your mama's buying me chicken dinner.
00:24Suddenly, there was pin drop silence and I turned around to face the Dragon Store Manager, a.k.a. Andy's mom.
00:32You have ten seconds to clear up this mess and get back to your jobs.
00:37Or...
00:38You're on fire!
00:40Hi, my name's Ellie. I'm a computer expert, gamer, hacker, and overall top-notch geek.
00:57I led a very exciting life in the virtual realm, but in the real world, my life was pretty average.
01:04Until one day, everything changed.
01:06Yeah, we say that a lot around here, don't we?
01:08But before I continue, please like and subscribe.
01:10Ever since I was a kid, I was obsessed with computers.
01:14And by the time I was 12, I was writing code, developing software, and even doing some basic hacking.
01:20And I was addicted to video games.
01:22I thought I was cool, but that was not a popular opinion.
01:26By the time I reached high school, I was pretty much used to having a seat at the outcast's table.
01:30And things weren't much different at home.
01:33I was raised by my single mom, who was my polar opposite.
01:36She was a social butterfly who loved throwing lavish parties for her wealthy friends,
01:41and was always trying to set me up with her sons.
01:43A nightmare!
01:44Mom, can I go to my room? I ate too many dumplings earlier. I don't feel so good.
01:49You're not fooling me, Ellie.
01:51See that boy over there? He's single and very rich. Go talk to him.
01:56That boy played football at my school, and he was surrounded by some popular girls.
02:00And I walked over.
02:01Hi, uh, I, uh, oh God, save yourselves!
02:06Then I threw up all over the boy in the head cheerleader.
02:09Of course, I was a laughing stock in school the next day.
02:12And I started hiding out in the library.
02:14One day, I was playing a game when I got an invite to a virtual treasure hunt with a huge cash prize.
02:21The disclaimer read, only super smart hardcore gamers need apply.
02:25It was like someone was describing me.
02:27I breezed through each challenge.
02:29But when I got to the last level, my computer suddenly froze.
02:33And then it became lifeless.
02:35No!
02:37But this was just the beginning of a series of unfortunate events.
02:41Soon after my 18th birthday, Mom suddenly fell really sick.
02:45The doctors ran a million tests and gave her expensive treatments, but nothing was working.
02:50And we had a ton of medical bills we couldn't pay because Mom's credit cards were all overdrawn.
02:55We're poor and I'm sick.
02:57Find a rich man so you can have a good life.
02:59How am I supposed to do that?
03:01Boys don't even notice me.
03:03We're poor.
03:04Find a rich man.
03:07A rich man.
03:08Find my daughter.
03:09What did I say?
03:10Daughter, find rich, my man?
03:13I mean, um.
03:14Find a rich man.
03:17And then, my mom slipped into a coma.
03:20My life turned around 180 degrees.
03:23I had no idea when Mom would be okay.
03:25I was drowning in debt.
03:27My grades were suffering.
03:28And I felt so alone.
03:30But then one day, as I was leaving my work shift, a strange man came running to me and shoved a device in my hand, then fled the scene.
03:38You've been selected for a top secret mission.
03:40This message will self-destruct in 30 seconds.
03:43I read the details fast.
03:45I'd make a ton of money and work with computers and security systems all day.
03:49Was this for real?
03:50My life was at rock bottom anyway.
03:52So it was worth finding out.
03:54I accepted.
03:55And a second before the time ran out, I tossed the device into the air and it exploded.
03:59What in the mission impossible?
04:01And the next day, I was whisked away in a private jet to a state-of-the-art facility with a dozen computer geeks.
04:08All day, we worked on hacking software, computer codes, and sophisticated simulations.
04:13We were given board and lodging, too.
04:15And for the first time, I was with people I had something in common with.
04:18A week later, I was busy working at my desk when this guy a few years older than me walked in.
04:23And I felt like the Matrix had glitched.
04:26Like I was Ellie in a parallel dimension where it was possible for Ellie to fall in love with a boy at first sight.
04:32And he was like a young Keanu Reeves, but with spectacles.
04:35So hot.
04:36I don't remember the part where I floated away from my seat, but suddenly, I found myself standing in front of him.
04:42Can I help you?
04:44Uh, maybe I can help you.
04:46I'm very helpful. Help me help you.
04:49What?
04:50Sorry, let me, ow, I just poked myself in the eye.
04:54Uh, let me introduce myself.
04:56Hi, I'm Smelly, I mean Ellie.
04:58It's short for Eleanor, or Elena, or Elaine.
05:02I extended my hand, and as he shook it, I screamed.
05:05What? What happened?
05:07Oh, it's not your fault.
05:09That was just a very firm handshake, and I have a very low threshold for pain.
05:13Like, really. I once fainted when an apple fell from a tree and hit my head.
05:17It wasn't even a hard apple, like it was rotten and squishy, but he walked away while I was still talking.
05:24That's the head of the company, girl.
05:26Oh, my gigabytes.
05:28This demigod was my boss?
05:30His name was Liam Finch.
05:32He could solve any problem, crack any code, and he looked amazing while doing it.
05:38I had such a giant, stupid crush on him, and I couldn't help recalling Mom's words about finding a rich man for a better life.
05:45Liam looked and smelled expensive.
05:48I had to get him to ask me out, and I turned to Ask Brain 2 for helpful tips.
05:53The next day, I turned up to work in a tight, short dress,
05:56and I'd made sure to apply plenty of tanning lotion to look like those gorgeous models I'd seen online.
06:01All eyes were on me, and I was sure to have the same effect on Liam.
06:06Before we start this meeting, I have to ask, Emmy.
06:09Are you having a reaction to something?
06:12Emmy, speak up, whoever you are.
06:14The boss is asking you something.
06:16Oh, wait, you meant me.
06:18It's Ellie.
06:20And, uh, no, I'm good.
06:22I think you should go to the bathroom.
06:24There's some anti-allergy medicine in the first aid kit there.
06:27This wasn't the reaction I'd expected, but when I looked at myself in the mirror, I screamed.
06:33The tanning lotion had turned so orange, I looked like a radioactive carrot.
06:37The next day, I came to work wearing huge, fake eyelashes,
06:41but those stupid things made my eyes feel heavy, and I couldn't stop blinking.
06:45Later in the cafeteria, one of my co-workers came up to me as I waited in the lunch line,
06:49and he had some ketchup on his upper lip.
06:52Hey, Ellie, I saw you in the meeting today.
06:56Um, okay, I saw you too, buddy.
06:59But first, you got something right here.
07:01Out of nowhere, the guy pulled me close and planted a moist kiss on my lips.
07:06I pushed him away and punched him hard.
07:08Ellie, what the heck?
07:10First you keep winking at me all through the meeting,
07:13then you ask me to kiss you, and then you hit me?
07:16Excuse me, what?
07:18He kicked up a huge fuss to Liam about being assaulted, and then he quit.
07:22That was one of our best coders, and you've made him leave.
07:25Well, he hit me first.
07:27Like, I mean, he was hitting on me, and it was gross.
07:30Are you sure? Why would anyone want to hit on you?
07:33Um, why wouldn't anyone want to do that?
07:36But Liam just walked away without replying.
07:39A couple of days later, Liam threw a small farewell party for his secretary, Jessica.
07:44She was so annoyingly model-like, and I couldn't be happier to see her leave.
07:49Hey, Jessie, I'm really sad you're leaving. Want me to help you pack?
07:53I'm very helpful. Uh, wait, isn't that a company paperweight?
07:57No, it's mine. I brought it from home.
07:59I'm pretty sure it belongs to the office. But hey, it's just a paperweight.
08:03Are you calling me a thief?
08:05Why don't I just take that from you? We won't mention this to anyone.
08:09Give it back to me, you witch!
08:11It's not yours, Jessie! You're robbing the boss blind!
08:15As we both pulled at the paperweight, I suddenly lost my balance and let go,
08:19and it went flying straight into Jessica's perfect fake nose.
08:23Emmy, what's the matter with you?
08:25Do you think I care if my secretary takes a useless paperweight from the office?
08:30I was just trying to do the right thing, sir.
08:32The right thing would be to stop injuring my employees.
08:36The next morning, I gave myself a pep talk in the staff room before work.
08:40Okay, the last few days have been bad, Ellie,
08:43but today's a new day to show everyone what a cool, brilliant chick you are.
08:48You got this, girl. Now show yourself some self-love.
08:51I kissed my reflection, but when I opened my eyes,
08:54I was horrified to see Liam standing behind me.
08:57Can you please keep things professional and practice your make-out skills in private?
09:02Which, I might add, need a substantial amount of work. Jeez.
09:07What? No, no, no, that's not what it was.
09:09Oh, God, this was almost as bad as the day Mom went into a coma.
09:14The next day, while I was busy coding, I couldn't help thinking about my make-out skills.
09:19I turned to my trusty advisor Google, but when I opened up the first blank,
09:23some kind of virus popped up on everyone's screens.
09:27Your system is under attack and will be immediately destroyed. Goodbye.
09:31And then every screen went blank.
09:33There was a wave of shocked silence across the room.
09:36Who the heck opened an insecure link?
09:39I felt about as small as an ant.
09:42I am so sorry, Liam. It was a small error of judgment.
09:47Small error? Your small error may have catastrophic consequences for our national security.
09:53Sorry, what? I thought this was a private security company.
09:57I recruited people I believed I could train to be the very best.
10:01Because every code we write and every firewall we construct has massive importance.
10:07But you've caused a major breach.
10:09And now I have to fix your mess.
10:12And I was clearly wrong about you.
10:15You don't belong here. Pack your things.
10:18You're going home tomorrow morning.
10:20And it's not Liam. It's Mr. Finch.
10:23I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach.
10:26This place was the most at home I'd ever felt.
10:29And I'd really screwed things up.
10:31The next morning, I was going to the office to turn in my employee card when I stopped short.
10:36The building had been sealed and was surrounded by police officers.
10:39And my co-workers were being arrested.
10:42I slipped away quickly, my heart racing.
10:44What the heck was going on?
10:46The only thing I could think of was finding Liam.
10:49If he hadn't been arrested already too.
10:51I made my way to his place and rang the buzzer a few times, but no one answered.
10:55Then I overrode the code of the security lock and the door clicked open.
10:59I'd just taken a few steps in when someone leapt at me and pushed me to the ground.
11:04And I found Liam on top of me with a chopstick.
11:07Emmy, how did you get in?
11:09And why do you know where I live?
11:11It's a top secret location.
11:13We sell that lock at the store where I worked at before.
11:16So I'm very familiar with the software.
11:18And I hacked your smartwatch to track your whereabouts a few weeks ago.
11:22Just for fun, I swear.
11:23See, smartwatches aren't actually that smart.
11:25They should be kind of called dumb watches.
11:27Also, were you going to poke my eye out with a chopstick?
11:30Get up. Why are you even here?
11:33Because I went to the office and everyone was getting arrested.
11:36Well, it's all your fault.
11:38What?
11:39Since our security systems were down after you downloaded that virus,
11:44something invaluable was stolen from us last night.
11:47And now we're all in big trouble.
11:50And I have to go into hiding.
11:52You're leaving? Will I ever see you again?
11:55Unlikely. You've ruined everything.
11:58Just go home.
11:59Look, Mr. Finch, this is ridiculous.
12:02There are plenty of problems in your security system that I've been studying for the past few weeks.
12:07And someone would have figured those out sooner or later anyway.
12:10So stop blaming me and please tell me what's going on.
12:13Also, why is it so hard for a genius like you to remember that my name is Ellie?
12:18Liam looked surprised at my outburst.
12:20And just as he was about to speak, we heard cars screeching outside.
12:24The police are here for me. I gotta go.
12:27Whoa, whoa, wait. I'm coming with you.
12:29I can't survive jail or torture.
12:31I told you, I have a very low threshold for pain.
12:34Oh, God. Just shut up.
12:36Liam grabbed my hand and led me to the kitchen,
12:39where he opened a trap door in the floor and started climbing down.
12:42And I followed.
12:43Dark, narrow spaces. I hate dark, narrow spaces.
12:47I'll die if a mouse jumps on me.
12:49We ran through an underground passageway, climbed up another ladder and out of a gutter hole
12:53and onto a main street several blocks away.
12:56Liam dashed towards a car and we jumped in.
12:58But just as we were driving off, several police cars came to a stop in front of us.
13:03Wow. We managed to escape for all of two minutes.
13:06Okay, Mr. Finch, Liam, whatever.
13:09If I never see you again, I just want to say that you're the most beautiful...
13:13Suddenly, Liam hit the pedal hard and started driving in reverse like a maniac.
13:17Oh, my God. What are you doing?
13:19I'm too young to die.
13:21I've spent all my life behind computer screens.
13:23I haven't seen the world. I've never even been on a beach.
13:26You know what? I'll go to jail.
13:28You can drop me off anywhere convenient.
13:31Liam took a sharp turn into a street, avoiding a truck by half an inch.
13:35He turned the car around 180 degrees and started driving even faster.
13:39They saw two black cars hot on her tail.
13:42Emmy, I need you to get a freaking grip and tell me the coordinates of the city's main bridge.
13:47We're gonna be jumping off of it.
13:49You can swim, right?
13:51Of course I can't swim. I'm terrified of water.
13:54That's why I've never been to a beach.
13:56We're not jumping off any bridge, you psycho.
13:58Can you please do what I'm saying and just trust me?
14:01There's a life jacket under the seat.
14:03Strap that on and find me the bridge.
14:05Now!
14:07With shaking fingers, I located the bridge and fed the coordinates into the car's GPS.
14:11Undo your seat belt and when I say go, open the car door.
14:15Your seat will automatically eject and you'll land in the water.
14:19Don't panic. You're wearing a life vest and I'll get to you quickly.
14:23You ready?
14:26I've never been less ready for anything in my life.
14:31Okay then, go!
14:33Liam swerved the car off the bridge and into the air.
14:36My seat ejected immediately and I landed head first into the water.
14:40Before I could panic completely, Liam swam over to me swiftly, grabbed me by the waist and pulled me onto the shore.
14:46We ran down some docks where Liam found an unlocked car and we sped away in it.
14:51I was too shocked to even speak anymore.
14:54Liam drove us out of the city to some abandoned warehouse where we were let in by an elegant older woman.
15:00Hello, Agent Skywalker. I was expecting you to be alone.
15:04So was I. Agatha, trust me, this wasn't part of the plan.
15:10Alright, alright, I've had enough! Can you tell me what's going on, Agent Skywalker?
15:15Liam finally told me that he was a CIA agent who had been assigned the task of recruiting a special security team
15:22to protect the government databases and national secrets.
15:25But there's another CIA agent who has gone rogue, and yesterday,
15:29she broke into our facility and stole the key to a new weapon the government's developing.
15:34And she's framed me for the theft. Now everyone thinks I'm a traitor.
15:38Luckily, the key's heavily encrypted, but someone will break the code soon, and I have to get it back before they do.
15:45It's the only way to clear my name. That's why I couldn't let myself get arrested.
15:50And Agatha here's an old friend. She's the only one I can trust right now.
15:54So, what's the next plan of action?
15:57I have a fairly good idea where the rogue agent took that key. So I'm going there, and you will stay here.
16:04Look, I can hardly believe I'm saying this after the horrible day I've had, but I think you should take me with you.
16:11I'm a really good coder and hacker, and I can help. I'm very helpful, actually. I just haven't had a chance to...
16:18Okay then, let's go.
16:19What, now? I thought you'd offer me some food first, and I wouldn't mind a nap.
16:24Now!
16:25Wait, Agent Skywalker, aren't you forgetting something?
16:29What?
16:30You know, the thing.
16:32Agatha, I really don't have time for riddles, so just say it.
16:36Okay, you're forgetting your lucky underwear from your Star Wars collection, the one you always wear before an important mission?
16:43I looked at Liam's face and burst out laughing.
16:46Lucky underwear? Oh my god! Oh, jeez, I think I peed my pants. Oops, I really did. Can I get some underwear too, please?
16:57According to Liam, the key was in a highly secure facility inside a toothpaste factory.
17:02The only way we could get in was to wear employee uniforms and hide in the back of one of the company trucks taking some supplies inside.
17:09Dark, confined spaces. I hate dark, confined spaces.
17:14Why don't you try distracting yourself?
17:16Sure. Why don't you help me do that? Why was Agatha calling you Agent Skywalker? Because of your lucky underwear?
17:23It's just one of my many names.
17:25Is Liam your real name?
17:27No.
17:28So what is your real name?
17:29I'm obviously not gonna tell you.
17:31Okay then, do you tell your girlfriends your real name?
17:35Depends. I haven't dated in a while, especially after what happened with the last one.
17:40Why? What happened?
17:42None of your business.
17:44Let me guess, she couldn't put up with your cold heart anymore? Or she found out you're lying about your identity and thought you're a cheater?
17:51Oh no wait, I've got it. Some enemy of yours killed her!
17:55Liam went quiet and my heart suddenly sank. Oh my god, no! She really died?
18:01I couldn't save her, Ellie.
18:04I'm sorry, Liam. I'm so sorry. That's so tragic. And it also explains why you're a cold-hearted robot now. I mean, this kind of stuff changes a person.
18:15Geez, why are you so gullible? I'm a CIA agent. I'm trained to convincingly lie about anything.
18:21That was a joke? Dude, that's just mean.
18:24Well, if you still want a sob story, she did betray me. My ex is the rogue agent, and she's the one who stolen the key and framed me. Are you happy now?
18:34Oh, wow, that's a lot. So, how do you feel about it?
18:39Like, I just want you to be quiet now.
18:42I silently processed everything I'd just heard, but after a few minutes, I started feeling anxious again.
18:48I wish I was special. So very special. But I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What am I doing here? I don't belong here.
19:08Please, please stop. You're sucking up the limited oxygen in the air.
19:12You're not the boss of me. Well, you were, but then you fired me, remember? And since you won't talk to me, I'm gonna sing. How you gonna make me shut up, huh?
19:20I can think of at least one way.
19:23Suddenly, Liam moved closer and put his hands on my face. Oh my god, was he about to kiss me?
19:29Just then, the truck jolted to a halt, and Liam pushed me away. Rude.
19:34We quietly slipped out and made our way to the entrance. We scanned the fake IDs Agatha had given us, and we were inside the building.
19:41Liam had the building's blueprints, and he led the way to the surveillance room.
19:45We peeked inside to see a security guard observing the screens, and Liam quietly crept up to him.
19:50Just then, my nose started itching like crazy, and I tried desperately not to sneeze.
19:56The guard turned around, and Liam punched him hard in the face, then stabbed him with a tranquilizer.
20:03Why do you look like you're gonna be sick? I've only put him to sleep.
20:07Oh, I know. I'm just terrified of needles. I think I told you, I have-
20:12Yeah, yeah, a very low threshold for pain, I remember.
20:16Okay, we gotta check all the rooms in this place. There's gotta be a team working hard to decode that key.
20:22We scanned all the screens, but it seems like there was hardly anyone in the building.
20:26Just then, I spotted an empty room with only a glass case in the center.
20:31Liam, do you think the key's in that vault?
20:33Yeah, it looks like it. Listen, Ellie, I need you to hack into their system and find out whatever you can about the security measures in that vault.
20:41I'm gonna be by the door to keep an eye out.
20:44You got it. I was totally lost in my work when suddenly, my eyes flitted to one of the screens.
20:49Um, Liam, what did you say your ex-girlfriend looked like?
20:53I don't think I said anything.
20:56Would you say she's a skinny supermodel type with lovely blonde hair, a perfect jawline, and very, very long legs?
21:03Yeah, why?
21:05Well, if we don't scram outta here in the next three minutes, I think you're about to be reunited with your ex.
21:10She's coming this way!
21:12Liam grabbed my hand and we ran out and down the corridor like crazy.
21:16Suddenly, security alarms started blaring all over the building.
21:20I guess she found the unconscious guard in the surveillance room.
21:23Ellie, why have you stopped running?
21:26I... I'm so... out of breath. I'm a computer person. On my butt all day. Not used to... running.
21:36Suddenly, Liam swept me up like a sack of potatoes, flung me over his shoulder, and started running again.
21:42All the entrances were being sealed, and Liam managed to get through the last one seconds before it slammed shut.
21:48We went rolling onto the ground, then got up quickly and sprinted as some guards chased us.
21:53As soon as we got outside the gates, a car screeched to a stop in front of us.
21:57Get in! Hurry!
22:02Yet another narrow escape.
22:04Was the mission successful?
22:06Far from it. We didn't manage to get the information we needed to break into the vault where the key's being kept.
22:13What are you talking about? I downloaded every single piece of information on their system in this flash drive.
22:18This one. No wait, not this one either. It's the neon green one. It's my favorite. Aha! Here you go.
22:24What? Oh my god, Ellie. You're amazing!
22:28He pulled me into a hug, and I was so startled that I didn't even hug him back.
22:32I wanted to kick myself for this wasted opportunity.
22:35And when we got back to the safe house, I crashed onto my bed like a malfunctioned hard drive.
22:40I was exhausted, but I kept having nightmares, and at some point, I woke up in a cold sweat.
22:46Just then, I screamed to see a dark shadow hovering over me, and I punched it hard.
22:51Ow!
22:52Liam, what are you doing here?
22:54You were shouting in your sleep. I was just checking on you.
22:57Aw, you came to see if I was okay?
23:00Well, that's too much to hope for. I already know you're unhinged.
23:04Geez, I think you've broken my nose.
23:07What, with these jelly arms? Come on, don't be a baby. A baby could punch harder than me.
23:12I'm not being a baby. Ugh, since you're finally up, let me show you what we found from that information you got.
23:19Agatha and Liam then proceeded to tell me that we didn't need to break into the vault.
23:24Apparently, they'd discovered a foreign delegation was visiting the embassy in two days for a big event, and the stolen key would be exchanged there.
23:32The rogue agent, Princess Leia, will be disguised as a journalist.
23:36She will be secretly handing it over to this undercover foreign-
23:40Whoa, hold on. Your ex-girlfriend's codename is Princess Leia?
23:45Oh, now I get why you're Agent Skywalker. That's really cheesy.
23:50Can you focus on what's actually important?
23:53Leia might recognize you, Liam, even in disguise.
23:57I can get you in the building as the kitchen staff, but we need to send someone else in as a guest.
24:02Preferably a pretty harmless-looking girl who can get close enough to the arms dealer to find out when the exchange is happening.
24:10I'm not sure I can. Wait, Ellie. You're a girl.
24:15Gee, thanks for finally noticing.
24:17She's not a trained agent. It's too dangerous.
24:20Yeah, man. Stop putting me in danger.
24:22You'll just be like any other guest at the event, and I'll be close by and constantly in touch with you.
24:27Please, Ellie. This is my last chance before the key leaves the country.
24:32Okay, okay. Fine.
24:34You can act like a cute, flirty girl, right?
24:37I'm used to my mother throwing me at rich guys, so yeah, I have some practice.
24:42You should be prepared for anything.
24:44You know, once I was working the field, I had to kiss a mafia boss to distract him.
24:50It brought down his whole operation.
24:52She's not very good in that department, Agatha. I've seen her practicing in a mirror.
24:57That's not what I was doing! Look, I'm a pretty good kisser, okay?
25:01Well, it's an important skill any undercover agent should have, so prove it.
25:06Prove it? How?
25:08You could just kiss me, duh.
25:10What, like, right now? Is that really necessary?
25:14Maybe she just finds you ugly, Agent Skywalker.
25:17I didn't say that. I mean, who would find him ugly?
25:20He's very good looking. That's just a fact.
25:23Like, I'm sure even a lesbian would find him attractive.
25:26Then it's just your bad kissing skills stopping you, I guess.
25:29Let's hope you don't need to use them.
25:32You know what, man? Just shut up.
25:34I suddenly grabbed Liam and kissed him hard.
25:37He kissed me back, and my brain exploded with fireworks.
25:41Well, uh, that was not half bad.
25:46It was good. Great, even.
25:50Yeah, she'll be fine. I, um, I'm gonna get some more coffee.
25:57I'm proud of you, kid.
25:59Two days later, as I was getting ready for the event, I felt sick with anxiety.
26:03Just then, someone knocked gently, and Liam walked in.
26:07Wow, you clean up nice.
26:11I mean, uh, your dress is pretty.
26:15I think I'm gonna barf all over it soon.
26:17Don't be so nervous. I won't let anything happen to you.
26:21Here's your earpiece. It has a tracker in there.
26:25I'm just not cut out for this, Liam.
26:27I'm not so sure about that. Do you know anything about your dad, Ellie?
26:32My dad? No, I don't. He left when I was just a few months old.
26:36Yeah, because he was an undercover CIA agent, too.
26:40What?!
26:42Your dad was one of the best agents in the field, and he was brilliant with computers.
26:47He's not around anymore, but he served his country well.
26:50And finding you wasn't just a coincidence.
26:53We've been keeping an eye on you.
26:55And you proved you have his skills when you crossed every level on that treasure hunt game we sent you.
27:00So maybe you are meant for all this.
27:04It's in your blood.
27:06You, you've met my dad?
27:08Yeah, once. You have his eyes, too.
27:12He tucked my hair behind my ear and gave me a warm smile, and my heart nearly fell out of my chest.
27:18Just then, Agatha walked in, saying the car was ready.
27:21At the event, I was looking everywhere for the arms dealer, and I finally spotted him.
27:26Just then, a tall, dark girl with glasses approached him and whispered something in his ear, and they both started walking out of the hall.
27:33Princess Leia's on the move. I think the exchange is happening now.
27:36Follow them to see where they're going. I'll come after you.
27:39I rushed out of the hall and saw them going down a corridor.
27:42They walked to the end of it and entered the room on the left.
27:45I inched closer, and as I tried peeking through the door, I suddenly lost my balance and fell inside.
27:51And all eyes turned to me.
27:53Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought this was the bathroom.
27:56Sorry, sorry. You can continue with whatever you were doing.
28:00Not so fast, girl.
28:03Ow, ow, that hurts.
28:05Hey, maybe it was just a mistake. She seems like a harmless little girl.
28:10Oh, really? Is that why she's wearing an earpiece?
28:14That? That's my hearing aid.
28:17Who do you work for?
28:19What? I can't hear you.
28:21Look, we can't do the exchange right now. This place is probably surrounded by federal agents.
28:27Leave immediately. I will create a distraction.
28:30And you, girl. You're staying here. Sit down.
28:35I plopped my butt into a chair as the girl took out a laptop and started typing like crazy.
28:39Whatcha doing? You know, I'm very good at computers. You need any help?
28:44Oh, I'm just activating an explosive device linked to this laptop that will go off in five minutes and blow up half of this place.
28:52So that should create a nice distraction.
28:55What?
28:56I gotta run, babe. It was nice meeting you.
28:59Ciao.
29:00She then ran out of the room and locked it from outside.
29:04Oh my god!
29:06I stood frozen in panic staring at the screen, seeing my life flash before my eyes.
29:11But then somehow I managed to muster some courage.
29:14Okay, okay. Calm down, Emmy. I mean, Ellie. It's just a laptop. Any software can be overwritten. Anything can be decoded.
29:22You can do this. You got this, girl.
29:24I tried everything I knew, but nothing was working.
29:28And then I had a brainwave.
29:30I opened Google and typed in the website from where I downloaded the virus at work.
29:34I clicked on it and the screen turned red.
29:37Your system is under attack and will be immediately destroyed now. Goodbye.
29:41And then the laptop went blank. I'd actually done it. Oh my god!
29:44I collapsed to the floor and just then the door burst open and Liam pulled me into his arms.
29:50Ellie, are you okay?
29:52Leia took your earpiece and I ended up following her instead.
29:55Did you manage to stop her? Did you get the key?
29:58Yeah, I did. Agatha hadn't told me before, but she'd call in the other agents to help.
30:04And I'm really glad. We needed it.
30:07Leia's under arrest and so's the arms dealer.
30:10That's amazing! And Liam, did you know that I just defused a very large explosive device and saved many lives?
30:17You did what?
30:19The federal agents evacuated the embassy and scanned the entire building and found the device that had been linked to the laptop.
30:26You're a hero, Ellie. Seriously, you're the smartest girl I've ever met.
30:31I'm hiring you back immediately. We can train you to be a field agent.
30:36That's very kind of you, but I'd actually like to go home.
30:40Earlier today, I got a message from the hospital that my mom's out of her coma. She's been asking for me.
30:45Oh wow, that's great news! But you can come back when she's better, right?
30:50You know what? I don't think so. Yeah, my dad was an agent, but I'm not meant for this life of high stress, crippling anxiety and close calls.
31:00I'm just an ordinary nerd who's happy behind a computer screen.
31:04Okay, no field agent. Just a desk job then.
31:07Ellie, I'm trying to say something here. I would personally like you to stick around.
31:12Maybe we can even go out for dinner sometimes. I owe you a decent meal.
31:17Look, Liam, it's not exactly a secret that I've had a giant crush on you since we met.
31:22But the truth is, I don't have a crush on the real you, because I don't know the real you, and I probably never will.
31:29I mean, what's your real name?
31:31Liam just looked at me silently.
31:33Yeah, I thought so. But I get it. You're meant for this life, and it suits you.
31:37But it's not for me. Just one thing. Can I take this dress with me?
31:41It's all yours.
31:43I extended my hand, and he shook it gently. Then I got into the car waiting for me, and left.
31:48Back at home, I was overjoyed to see Mom doing well, and with my large paycheck, I was able to take care of all our bills, and then some.
31:56Oh my daughter, we're rich! Did you find a rich man?
31:59No, Mom. I worked very hard for this money, and I'm in charge of the finances now.
32:04But to celebrate Mom's recovery, I decided to throw her one lavish party with all her friends at Christmas.
32:10And I was trying not to zone out of a very boring conversation with some rich dumb jock, when suddenly the doorbell rang.
32:20Liam? What are you doing here?
32:22It's Norman.
32:24Huh? What's Norman?
32:26My real name.
32:28Oh, Norman! Ouch, that's not a cool name, dude.
32:32I know that!
32:34Listen, Ellie, I miss you, okay? You're crazy, and you talk a lot, and you're an awful singer.
32:42There's never a dull moment with you around, because you're also smart and beautiful and adorable.
32:50And I tried to keep a cold front because I didn't want to get too close, but despite my best efforts, I can't stop thinking about you.
33:00You're anything but ordinary.
33:02So yeah, my real name's Norman, and I'm willing to tell you more if you agree to go out with me.
33:10I'm not even your type. Evil Longlegs Barbie is your type.
33:14Not anymore.
33:18Geeky Jelly Arms Computer Nerd is my type now.
33:22And then he pulled me into a kiss.
33:30Does this mean you're like my boyfriend now?
33:36I like the sound of that.
33:38Can I tell my mom you're rich?
33:40I am rich. Like, really rich.
33:44Perfect!
33:46Mom! I found a rich man!
34:00I found a rich man!
