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