00:00:00When I was seven,
00:00:30I had no memory of being six.
00:00:33It didn't matter.
00:00:35My parents adopted me because they loved me.
00:00:38And Aaron?
00:00:41Aaron took me in because he cared.
00:00:44But even then, I didn't know how much.
00:00:49As I carried him, so he would carry me through so much.
00:00:55This is only where it begins.
00:00:58Yeah?
00:00:59Hi, Aaron.
00:01:00Where have you been?
00:01:02Where have you been?
00:01:03Getting shot in all sorts of weird places?
00:01:08I've been installed as Major General in my house.
00:01:13I'm Authority Sector now.
00:01:15Sometimes that means taking some hits.
00:01:18Well, I would say congratulations, but I know you only probably got the position early because your father's health failed.
00:01:25Yeah.
00:01:26He's gone.
00:01:27Lester heard your parents were dead, too.
00:01:30And your aunt and uncle overtaking you, 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.
00:01:40What?
00:01:41Going from friends to being family isn't that weird of a leap, right?
00:01:46Okay.
00:01:47Silla, I'm sorry I'm late.
00:02:00I was turning in my paper.
00:02:01You'll just have to catch up with us.
00:02:03Hey, this is my new best friend as of yesterday, T. New bestie, this is Leah.
00:02:10When was the last time I saw you?
00:02:12Uh, a few months ago.
00:02:14At your father's funeral.
00:02:16I'm so sorry.
00:02:17Don't worry about it.
00:02:18I'm over it.
00:02:19But he's your dad.
00:02:21Was my dad.
00:02:22You understand.
00:02:24When you work for the Authority Sector, you have no time for family.
00:02:28Well, Aaron has plenty of time for...
00:02:30Aaron.
00:02:31Aaron.
00:02:32Aaron.
00:02:33Enough about Aaron.
00:02:34Don't talk to me about him.
00:02:36He has no time for me.
00:02:38Calm down, Benzel.
00:02:41I've got just the thing you need.
00:02:46Oh.
00:02:47Uh, none for me.
00:02:50Thanks.
00:02:51Brendan!
00:02:52Hi!
00:02:53Leah.
00:02:54Fancy seeing you outside the classroom again.
00:02:58You're not spying on me, are you?
00:03:00No, I'm not.
00:03:01I promise.
00:03:02And I did do my paper on the Civil War in Lisagore before I arrived.
00:03:07Great.
00:03:08And I'm looking forward to reading what you know about my mother country.
00:03:11So, who's the hottie?
00:03:12Your boy?
00:03:13Oh, that's just Brendan.
00:03:14He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:16Mmm.
00:03:17I think he likes you.
00:03:18You should show him your appreciation for all of his hard work.
00:03:19Stella!
00:03:20Here's to being appreciated for all of our hard work.
00:03:24Oh, that's just Brendan.
00:03:26He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:30Mmm.
00:03:31I think he likes you.
00:03:32You should show him your appreciation for all of his hard work.
00:03:36Stella!
00:03:37Here's to being appreciated for all of our hard work.
00:03:40Um, will you excuse me?
00:03:54I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:57Mmm-hmm.
00:03:58The restroom.
00:03:59Right.
00:04:00Have fun.
00:04:01Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:04:30What'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.
00:05:18Sigh.
00:05:19Sigh.
00:05:33So how does it work?
00:05:35You can't tell what's wrong at first.
00:05:37After all, starving is very different from just being a little hungry.
00:05:43Sigh.
00:05:44And if you suddenly become a bottomless little pit of need, you might just jump anything with a pulse to see if it fills you.
00:05:56So pretty.
00:05:58We need a doctor!
00:06:00This is what I think it is?
00:06:02A doctor can't help her.
00:06:03What is it?
00:06:05Mesmer.
00:06:07Are you certain?
00:06:09As certain as I can be, without a blood test.
00:06:11All right.
00:06:13You said the drug causes a potentially fatal brain fever?
00:06:17Look, if a doctor can't help her, then who can?
00:06:19What's the cure?
00:06:21There is no cure.
00:06:23No antidote.
00:06:24We can only mitigate these symptoms.
00:06:27Mitigate how?
00:06:30The only known treatment is skin contact.
00:06:34Lots of skin contact.
00:06:39I don't know if she's seen anyone.
00:06:41We haven't talked about her love life in over a year.
00:06:45I have a suggestion.
00:06:47Maybe-
00:06:48Look, it can't just be anyone.
00:06:51She's too precious.
00:06:53It has to be someone that she loves.
00:06:54You.
00:06:56I want it to be you.
00:06:59Only you.
00:07:00I want it to be.
00:07:07Are you certain?
00:07:09Help me.
00:07:12Do you know what this means?
00:07:14Yes.
00:07:18I'll be outside if you need me.
00:07:23Uh...
00:07:30I'm bored.
00:07:52I'm bored.
00:07:53Don't worry.
00:07:57I 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.
00:08:04Ooh.
00:08:05Ooh.
00:08:07Uh...
00:08:10Hey.
00:08:11You want to help me ride through this trip?
00:08:13Sorry.
00:08:14I don't offer those services.
00:08:14You smell just like him.
00:08:15I've got places to go, but I do have a couple of friends who are more than willing to help you out.
00:08:21For a price.
00:08:22Friends.
00:08:23Plural.
00:08:24Yes, please.
00:08:25Yes, please.
00:08:28It was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:08:33Okay.
00:08:34It was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:08:55Everyone, freeze! Authority Sector is securing the area!
00:09:17Last night, the Authority Sector proceeded with a drug bust at a bar in the East End.
00:09:22Excuse me, Gary.
00:09:23They report that while their seizure of the drugs was successful, the leader of the ring remains at large.
00:09:29His true name still a mystery.
00:09:31One of the people arrested at the scene is the daughter of a recently fallen Major General.
00:09:37University student Stella Shelley remains held for questioning.
00:09:42What? How dare they? Gary!
00:09:46Aaron better not have anything to do with this.
00:09:48Yes.
00:09:53I'm afraid that Major General Aaron Harrold was in charge of the Raid Mom.
00:09:58It appears that Ms. Stella is being held in the same facility as last time.
00:10:02Call the lawyers.
00:10:03Yeah, thanks for the update. And send Lee on my love. Uh, let her know. I will call and check on her. Later.
00:10:13Mrs. Shelley, what may I do for you?
00:10:27You can begin by explaining why you had my daughter arrested.
00:10:31Especially 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? Like she was a common criminal? It was an embarrassment.
00:10:54I'm sure it isn't Aaron's fault. I know. I put myself in a vulnerable situation. Sometimes, I just get so upset about Eddie's death. I miss him so much.
00:11:11I'll see what I can do.
00:11:13Very well then. In the meantime, you must come to lunch at our place. Just to show we've put this shameful business behind us.
00:11:21Certainly.
00:11:38What happened?
00:11:39You were right, Ms. Jenkins. You had a very harsh encounter with a Class VII drug. We just got the blood test result back.
00:11:47When we got the result back, we also found some antibodies that's fighting the after-effect of the drug.
00:12:00Lucky new. Lucky?
00:12:02Yes.
00:12:03Most people would need to be held for observation for weeks, but you're almost good as new.
00:12:10I am?
00:12:10Yes. I actually did a paper on this condition back in school. There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:12:18There's the monks of Ithbac, the old ostocracy of Lissagor, and the nudist colony. In-
00:12:26If you're done with your examination, I'll sit the two of you up. Thank you.
00:12:29Anything for the Major General.
00:12:33So, what really happened?
00:12:44So, 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-
00:13:02We seized the contraband, but we failed to ID the ringleader. We know he got away-
00:13:09Wasn't what I was asking. I 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.
00:13:25Hey, we never have to talk about this again.
00:13:32Don't we?
00:13:45What are you doing?
00:13:48I wanted to talk to you after class.
00:13:51What, so you can criticize me about how I'm not taking my studies seriously enough?
00:13:55Yeah, no thanks.
00:13:56You actually made some good points in your paper. You just, you didn't go far enough.
00:13:59You didn't cover half the required topics, and between that and the grammar, I just couldn't
00:14:02give you a better grade. Professor Olson hasn't looked at the grades yet. I could
00:14:07temporarily lose your paper for a couple of days and give you the opportunity to rewrite it.
00:14:12Really? Thank you so much. I'm going to get started right away.
00:14:20Hey. Tough teachers are a bummer.
00:14:24Oh, that. That was entirely my fault.
00:14:27Oh, really? Well, Aaron recently helped me out with a difficult situation. It's just a pity that he
00:14:33can't even exert a little influence to help you when some professor is giving you a hard time.
00:14:38It's not fair. But you know, it strikes me, I don't know you as well as I ought. After all,
00:14:46you are Aaron's family, and who knows what the future holds. So, in order for bygones to be bygones,
00:14:54I got you a gift. Oh, there's no need. I don't have it with me now, but how about I stop by Aaron's
00:15:01house and say an hour? Honestly, we're good. So ungrateful.
00:15:09Stuck up bitch.
00:15:14How's two or three sound? Oh, perfect. Toodles.
00:15:20How's two or three sound?
00:15:38Leah! So good of you to wait for me. I didn't think you were still coming.
00:15:42I would never break my word.
00:15:55Oh, poor thing. It appears my gift is more needed than I thought.
00:16:03Uh, thank you. I'm sorry. I really think you should go. I've got some homework to get back to.
00:16:08Oh, don't be ridiculous. I want to see how it fits.
00:16:13This is what I'm talking about.
00:16:15This is going to be an awesome one.
00:16:15This is what I want to be anak-sarge.
00:16:16This is what I want to say.
00:16:18This is what I want to say.
00:16:21I want to go for it to be an hour.
00:16:27to see you here i hope we're still on for lunch tomorrow yeah that's fine awesome we'll be all
00:16:33so excited to see you oh my god what'd you do to it no it was already like this i just came out to
00:16:40show you if you didn't like it you could just say so or just accept it and not wear it honestly what
00:16:47no i excuse me i thought leah and i could take a date of bond after all she and i both once
00:16:57through something so terrible but it's like like she blames me or something you know
00:17:05but you would know better than that don't you aaron leah makes mistakes like anyone else
00:17:11i'll please ask that you give her the benefit of the doubt and you're going to tell her the same
00:17:14thing yes sorry i have to go we'll talk later
00:17:27yeah um we're just gonna go go do the thing yeah because we had a thing to do later and now it's
00:17:39later
00:17:48i know i was short with you on my dad's funeral it's okay it's not daddy loved aaron he always
00:17:57knew that he'd become part of the family one day i just didn't think he'd die before he got the chance
00:18:02to see it happen and i understand that aaron needs some time to grieve before he and i can really
00:18:09become an us you and aaron look i get it more than you know he's taken such good care of you
00:18:18and he's strong powerful not to mention his everything what are you talking about for some of us
00:18:27it's a babysitter for others it's a teacher or your mom's boy toy point is that we've all had
00:18:33inappropriate relationships inappropriate i know i'm not that much older than you so it can seem a
00:18:39little weird but i can keep a secret i am here to support you because you are aaron's family and
00:18:46i think he's gonna miss you once you're gone when i'm what
00:18:56when i'm what gone at least i assume you'll be able to go that's every goal for serious university
00:19:06students right go out in the world and work your own field yeah i mean i don't have any post-graduation
00:19:13plans yet okay well my bad i thought that'd be was a fluke i just know that striking out on your own
00:19:22can be really important and you're gonna need distance especially if aaron encouraged you oh
00:19:30no he's i didn't mean to imply that no of course not he's aaron yeah right no i mean he's always been
00:19:39like a you know breathe it's okay like a brother i know and like don't worry about the dress i was
00:19:48mad about it before but i'm not anymore
00:20:18is there something i should know about the lunch with you and stella tomorrow
00:20:22uh mrs shelley invited me she wasn't particularly happy about stella's arrest but
00:20:28i think the lunch is a chance to talk some things over well her arrest was like five minutes long
00:20:33this is major general shelley's family leah he was dying when he asked me to take care of them
00:20:43going to lunch that's like the least i can do no yeah i know that but i also know that stella was
00:20:51one of the last people i talked to before i started to feel that drug but here's to being appreciated
00:20:59for all our hard work
00:21:03do you think she did it i i think it's possible are you certain no
00:21:16you weren't the only one under the influence of something that might
00:21:20so was stella granted she might have taken it herself and i can understand why she might not
00:21:26want to admit that but she's not our primary suspect who is
00:21:31that ta who's been following you around brendan martin
00:21:39what brendan
00:21:42brendan are you serious
00:21:45yeah
00:21:47take a look
00:21:49security footage has him at the scene right before the raid
00:21:52look he's exiting he's handling a lot of people's drinks
00:21:55and then he talks to you barely a minute before you came to me
00:22:00brendan's not a criminal his 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 aren't you the one who told me
00:22:09that yes but that's also what happens when you're a spy or or when you work for the biggest drug ring
00:22:16in Brazil he does not work for a drug ring and he wouldn't hurt me how do you know that because he's my friend
00:22:26i don't agree with you about brendan
00:22:30but i know you always have my best interests at heart so
00:22:33always i don't like when we fight like this

00:23:55but let us be clear on what i do know
00:23:57stella was quite loose lipped when i picked her up from the facility
00:24:01she smelled of
00:24:02well
00:24:03certain liberties and she kept sniffing at her sleeves
00:24:07when i asked she babbled on about a wild night
00:24:11and still having the smell of your cologne on her clothes
00:24:15i know my daughter might not be so forthcoming at the moment

00:27:36Get off me.
00:27:37Calm down, I'm fine.
00:27:39You didn't sound fine.
00:27:40I was upset, but not with him.
00:27:42At least, not enough for this.
00:27:45I invited him over.
00:27:47I don't need you to play knight in shining armor.
00:27:50I need you to leave.
00:27:52Now.
00:27:53We'll talk later.
00:27:57Alright.
00:27:58I don't want that man in my house.
00:28:03Okay, you know what?
00:28:04Last time I checked, this was my house too.
00:28:06He's been spying on you.
00:28:08And he's working for the ring.
00:28:10Who told you that?
00:28:11Little miss, I can do no wrong, Stella.
00:28:13Oh, leave her out of this.
00:28:14Why?
00:28:15What are you going to do?
00:28:16Marry her?
00:28:17What?
00:28:18No.
00:28:19Well, you might want to tell her that.
00:28:28I'm sorry.
00:28:29I don't want to tell her that I'm asking myself to take away.
00:28:31I'm sorry.
00:28:32I'm sorry.
00:28:33I say you're not sure.
00:28:34I'm saying your house too.
00:28:35You're not sure.
00:28:36You're not sure me.
00:28:37You're not sure me, too.
00:28:38I'm sorry.
00:28:39But I'm sorry.
00:28:40I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:28:41I'm sorry for your kindness.
00:28:43Mama, where are you?
00:28:57Leah, darling, we need to go now.
00:29:01Yes, Mama.
00:29:02Mama, what is it?
00:29:14Please come meet with me.
00:29:15It's urgent.
00:29:17I told you, I need time.
00:29:20I know, but there isn't any more time.
00:29:23I need you to meet me at the airport lot.
00:29:24I'm not going to leave the country with you.
00:29:27It's nothing like that.
00:29:29I need your help to welcome someone.
00:29:31Please.
00:29:32It's important.
00:29:43I need sleep.
00:29:44Meet me in the morning, then.
00:29:46The flight arrives in four hours.
00:29:48You have time for three more hours of rest.
00:29:50I have a headache.
00:29:52You can earn extra credit for the class.
00:29:56Fine.
00:30:01Leah.
00:30:05Leah.
00:30:17Leah.
00:30:18Leah.
00:30:18Leah?
00:30:19Leah?
00:30:20Leah?
00:30:21Oh my god.
00:30:30She's fine.
00:30:32She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:35Did she say what kind of errand it was?
00:30:38No.
00:30:39Okay.
00:30:40Okay.
00:30:47Okay.
00:30:48Okay.
00:30:49Okay.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:51Man, please tell me we have something on my damn cousin and that damn drug ring.
00:30:59Afraid not, boss.
00:31:01However, we did find something interesting regarding something else entirely.
00:31:10I'm not committing to anything.
00:31:18You know, for all I know, they're just weird dreams.
00:31:21Do you want to tell me about your dreams?
00:31:23When we were kids, did we used to play together?
00:31:34And you had a pet frog named Mortimer.
00:31:37All 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.
00:31:52Rule wisely.
00:31:53That's right.
00:31:54You're a princess, Leah.
00:31:56A princess?
00:31:58It can't be.
00:31:59There are tests that can prove it.
00:32:02The easiest is to look for specific antibodies which can be traced back to the blood of the
00:32:07Lizagor family.
00:32:08Yeah.
00:32:09There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:32:12I'm immune to the after effects of class 7 drugs.
00:32:16Are you certain?
00:32:18Help me.
00:32:20Still processing?
00:32:22Understatement.
00:32:29You've been waiting a long time to do that.
00:32:31Waiting a long time for it to mean something.
00:32:33Who are we meeting?
00:32:34Lady Tiffany Altiman.
00:32:36Queen of Lizagor.
00:32:38Your mother.
00:32:40Mama.
00:32:41Leah.
00:32:42Your majesty.
00:32:43Your highness.
00:32:44We ought to move somewhere more private.
00:32:47I suppose you were too young to remember what Lizagor was like before you left.
00:33:01Um.
00:33:02I lost my memories in an accident when I was 7.
00:33:06There 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.
00:33:38Uh.
00:33:39Lord Edmund?
00:33:40Your father.
00:33:41He was a good man.
00:33:43And 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.
00:33:53And tell her the news.
00:33:55News?
00:33:57I found the lost princess.
00:33:58Oh shhh.
00:33:59Shhh.
00:34:00Darling.
00:34:01We can be a family once more.
00:34:03No.
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 Leigh in after the Jenkins died.
00:34:20He's quite protective of her.
00:34:22Oh, of course.
00:34:23We will show our gratitude on him as well.
00:34:26He won't have to worry about you anymore.
00:34:29Oh, your fiancé is more than capable of protecting you.
00:34:33My what?
00:34:35Your fiancé.
00:34:38Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:42No.
00:34:44Oh.
00:34:48I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:52I was getting to it.
00:34:54Brendan.
00:34:55In my defense, your majesty.
00:34:57You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:34:59What was I supposed to do?
00:35:01It is one of our oldest traditions for the heir of the crown.
00:35:04To marry a friend born into the espionage sector.
00:35:09The curriculum of this place is a bit lacking.
00:35:12I'm afraid it makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:23Yes?
00:35:24Stella.
00:35:25I require an update on Aaron.
00:35:26I want a timeline on your nuptials.
00:35:28It's not that easy, Mom.
00:35:30I'm sorry.
00:35:31Do you wish to find yourself pregnant and destitute in a West End back alley?
00:35:36Just because I can't get a Major General to marry me right away?
00:35:39It doesn't mean that nobody would at all.
00:35:41I guarantee every woman trapped in that back alley told herself the same thing.
00:35:45No excuses, Stella.
00:35:48I've just got to take care of that Leah first.
00:35:51I've got a plan to show her that I mean business.
00:35:54You should already be on the next step.
00:35:56I'm working on Aaron, okay?
00:35:59Is this gonna take-
00:36:01Stella?
00:36:02You will say goodbye to your mother properly, young lady.
00:36:05Oh.
00:36:06It's gonna look great.
00:36:07You like that?
00:36:08Oh, that's nice.
00:36:09That's nice.
00:36:10Damn.
00:36:11I'm forgetting something.
00:36:12Forgetting something.
00:36:13Forgetting something.
00:36:14Oh.
00:36:15You idiot.
00:36:16I was the one who hired you.
00:36:18You got the wrong girl.
00:36:19Oh, man.
00:36:20You know, that's really rich.
00:36:21That's a good one.
00:36:22I've never heard that before.
00:36:23That's cute, even.
00:36:24I was not-
00:36:25Listen.
00:36:26I was not-
00:36:27That's-
00:36:28I was-
00:36:29That's-
00:36:30That's-
00:36:31That's-
00:36:32That's-
00:36:33That's-
00:36:34That's-
00:36:35That's-
00:36:36That's-
00:36:37That's-
00:36:38That's-
00:36:39That's-
00:36:40That's-
00:36:41That's-
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.
00:37:03And dress up with humiliating message.
00:37:08Oh, my God.
00:37:10I did not mean breadcrumbs literally.
00:37:13A.
00:37:14You just described our whole morning, so-
00:37:17That means nothing to me, okay?
00:37:19And B.
00:37:20I ain't getting paid to be creative.
00:37:21Overpriced hack!
00:37:23Oh.
00:37:24Why do young people gotta take things so personally?
00:37:28Ah, last step.
00:37:31Humiliating message.
00:37:34Hmm.
00:37:39My fiance is a major general.
00:37:41And 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.
00:37:54No.
00:37:55You may recall a black market site we were researching a few months back?
00:38:03Uh, Henchman for Hire?
00:38:05Still can't believe they went with that name.
00:38:08It's accurate.
00:38:09One 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 counts.
00:38:26It's automation and it's finicky.
00:38:29Can we hack it?
00:38:30Maybe.
00:38:31But I'd rather we handle 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.
00:38:44But it's already in progress.
00:38:48I'm sure.
00:38:49And I'm not sorry.
00:38:55Somebody help me please!
00:38:56Oh my god, Aaron.
00:38:58I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:04I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:07You have to get the guy who did this to me.
00:39:09You have to arrest him.
00:39:13Aaron.
00:39:15Aaron, are you hearing me?
00:39:18Oh, I hear you.
00:39:20And I will.
00:39:22Do you know what happens when Henchman for Hire servers detect authority sector tampering with a client's accounts?
00:39:28No.
00:39:30How would I know I-
00:39:31They flag the potentially compromised client's accounts.
00:39:35And flag them for death.
00:39:36I don't see how this is relevant to me, Aaron.
00:39:41Ruben cut the funding to your accounts before he realized.
00:39:44Ruben's a liar.
00:39:45Stop!
00:39:47Ruben has never lied to me.
00:39:50And he never will.
00:39:52And besides, you're missing the point.
00:39:56Um, what's the point?
00:39:58This was originally going to be an assassination attempt, Stella!
00:40:01So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:04So don't you ever say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:10I'm not feeling very protected at the moment, considering I'm still here, and the guy who did this to me is still out there.
00:40:16We found a way to redirect the system.
00:40:20Got it to select the most recent assignment that you had assigned to it instead.
00:40:25That-
00:40:26That is not-
00:40:27Justice!
00:40:28I think it is.
00:40:29I think watching what you had planned for Leah done to you,
00:40:35I 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.
00:40:46Let's try this one more time.
00:40:59Huh?
00:41:03That's hilarious.
00:41:04The law can't be useful.
00:41:16Good.
00:41:40Princess?
00:41:41I don't see it.
00:41:54I should tell Aaron.
00:41:56He'll know what to do.
00:41:59You'll tell Aaron nothing.
00:42:07With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws,
00:42:10Lizagor's queen in exile has announced her intention to visit Rosal.
00:42:15The exact day and purpose is to rinse it.
00:42:18I'm still on stakeout.
00:42:20No 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.
00:42:31I 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 how to favorite anything,
00:42:38he wanted it for himself.
00:42:41But I'm not going to forget that he bought every last bottle of that cologne.
00:42:45Because...
00:42:47Because General Shelley recruited my help convincing the damn store to make one last run of the stuff for you.
00:42:53I, uh... I 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.
00:43:06I'm already checking the flight records.
00:43:08Aw, hell.
00:43:10He is here.
00:43:11Your cousin has been a hit vet in the past two years.
00:43:24And hasn't been to visit any monks.
00:43:26Not unless those monks were running a lot of drugs.
00:43:29Class seven included.
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.
00:43:38I 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.
00:43:53So 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.
00:44:06Yes.
00:44:19Wakey wakey.
00:44:21Ah, there you are.
00:44:24Aaron probably never mentioned me.
00:44:26He and I go way back.
00:44:27And as I told you, Miss Moffat, I know all about you.
00:44:34I wonder, does Aaron still make Ruben do his dirty work and pretend like it was an accident?
00:44:40He always was predictable like that.
00:44:44I reckon you're the same way.
00:44:46You know, he always did gravitate towards similar peas to his pod.
00:44:51And with a face like yours, gravitate indeed.
00:44:56More 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 up alive.
00:45:25Most players make their cliché play and sacrifice their pawns.
00:45:31But the patient ones leave them perfectly positioned on the board to take advantage of the other guy.
00:45:38And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:47Are you ready for your close-up?
00:46:08Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:15Now smile and say cheese.
00:46:18Yes.
00:46:31They're late.
00:46:33They're unprofessionally late.
00:46:35Makes a guy feel lonely.
00:46:38Oh, right.
00:46:40You can't talk.
00:46:42Got anything to say?
00:46:47Who are you?
00:46:49Me?
00:46:50I'm the future general of Harold House.
00:46:53No.
00:46:56That's what you get for being a smug pea in your provincial little pod.
00:47:01And where have you been?
00:47:03Getting coffee.
00:47:04We can get you an extra if you want.
00:47:06Get into your positions.
00:47:07Slay.
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 them 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!
00:47:55You turned me in!
00:47:57I turned your parents in.
00:47:58And 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?
00:48:11Maybe I should thank you.
00:48:14After all, I did get to see the world because of you.
00:48:18Exile would do that to a kid.
00:48:20The jurisdiction of the law in these other countries is divided into little categories.
00:48:25They make their leaders earn every little last scrap of power.
00:48:30They can't even conceive of the absolute dominion that is the authority sector of Razul.
00:48:35And inheriting that kind of power, passing it to a capable family member.
00:48:40Because you think you should trust family?
00:48:43Unthinkable.
00:48:44Unthinkable.
00:48:45So Aaron here is just a little more worldly than everyone else.
00:48:49Right.
00:48:51Go figure.
00:49:14Unthinkable.
00:49:16Unthinkable.
00:49:23Un pluckable.
00:49:29Oh, she's got it in her bitch after.
00:49:31Breed her.
00:49:32And you get nothing from me.
00:49:34And I know you want something from me.
00:49:36More than just my pain.
00:49:37It's just my pain.
00:49:42You know what, Miss Muffet?
00:49:44You've officially gotten annoying.
00:49:51Aaron and I are overdue for a private chat.
00:49:54And you have officially lost your fly-on-the-wall privileges.
00:49:59F.Y.I. your personal hostage survival rate is dropping!
00:50:08You're insane!
00:50:15You're insane!
00:50:17That's what everyone says in the face of a plumbish.
00:50:26Maybe I should go find her.
00:50:28No.
00:50:29This is the mother's duty.
00:50:34Affairs of the heart are complicated.
00:50:42Leah?
00:50:46Please, we can talk about that I was troubling you.
00:50:53Leah?
00:50:58Oh!
00:50:59Oh!
00:51:00Oh!
00:51:01Oh!
00:51:02Brandon!
00:51:12Please, please, please.
00:51:15Don't come any closer!
00:51:17I'm armed!
00:51:18Is that any way to greet your rescuer?
00:51:24Stop struggling.
00:51:26I don't want to cut you, okay?
00:51:27I'm not going anywhere without Aaron.
00:51:28That's not an option.
00:51:30Whether you walk out on your own two feet, or I carry you out, it's up to you.
00:51:35Look.
00:51:36You are the hope of our people.
00:51:39It's my duty to protect you.
00:51:41I can't do that if you're off chasing gangsters and kidnappers without a plan.
00:51:45That doesn't matter.
00:51:46I can't just leave him here.
00:51:49Well, from what I know of Aaron, he would not want you putting yourself in harm's way for his sake.
00:51:58Also, your mother is worried sick about you.
00:52:02She finally found her long-lost daughter, the last living member of her family, in your kidnapped moments after reuniting.
00:52:09Her worst nightmares are coming true.
00:52:12Fine.
00:52:14But I am coming back for Aaron.
00:52:17I expect nothing less, your highness.
00:52:33Oh.
00:52:34Someone's looking a little less lost.
00:52:37You want me to abdicate his major journal in my house?
00:52:41And?
00:52:44And you want me to hand it over to you?
00:52:46See?
00:52:47Was that so hard?
00:52:52I am so sorry we couldn't get to you sooner.
00:52:54But since your father died, my contacts in Ruiz have become scattered and limited.
00:52:58I'll be fine, but we need to-
00:53:01Oh, thankfully I still have a few people I can trust.
00:53:04We've already met my driver, Alexi.
00:53:07And my valet, Ivan.
00:53:10And my dog walker, Boris.
00:53:12And of course, Sir Brendan remains a most loyal and dedicated son of Lysagor.
00:53:16Mm-hmm.
00:53:17Mm-hmm.
00:53:19It's my honor to serve.
00:53:21And fortunately, I'm just one man.
00:53:24Okay, enough.
00:53:26I can't sit here while Aaron is in danger.
00:53:28Now are you going to help me or not?
00:53:29It's going to take time.
00:53:36We don't have time.
00:53:38Aaron is always there for me and now he needs me.
00:53:41I have to go.
00:53:43Of course I wouldn't think of standing in your vape, but the fact remains I have no more resources to give you.
00:53:51You have given me all I need.
00:53:54I have my own resources now.
00:53:59Ruben?
00:54:03You are my last blood relative, so I could install you, but no other Major General's going to want to cooperate with you.
00:54:10Oh, I've got plans for that.
00:54:12I got quite good at making plans.
00:54:14How do you like my little empire, by the way?
00:54:16It's a drug ring.
00:54:18It's the start of a kingdom, and one that would run much smoother if it wasn't forced to operate in the shadows.
00:54:25Doubling 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. I do know your dirtiest little secret.
00:54:51I should.
00:54:53I helped make it happen.
00:54:54You son of a bitch!
00:55:05Our mothers are not fair game, Aaron. You set that rule when we were eight. Remember?
00:55:12It was you!
00:55:15It was Stella, but yes, it was me too.
00:55:19And it was a lot of fun to watch.
00:55:22General Shelley's daughter exploited the whole aftermath.
00:55:26I just kept tabs.
00:55:27And you defended Stella, didn't you?
00:55:31Dutiful as ever.
00:55:33Of course you did.
00:55:35Ha!
00:55:36Damn!
00:55:37But if I could be a fly on that wall, watching you tell the girl who's in love with you that she has to take that bitch's shit.
00:55:45And after, you sought her out for the most vital ride of her life.
00:55:52Lee is not in love with you.
00:55:55Oh.
00:55:56You always were dense about the suffering of others.
00:56:02That's okay.
00:56:04I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:10I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:13Yeah.
00:56:23Yeah.
00:56:24This is going down.
00:56:25No.
00:56:26No.
00:56:27Open up.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:29This is on your...
00:56:39Go to hell!
00:56:41If I bother, I intend to rule there too.
00:56:46You know, your little miss had me worried for a moment that I brought a bad badge across the border with me.
00:56:53She seemed to take forever to experience the side effects.
00:56:56Luckily, she was a fluke.
00:56:58Cut him loose boys.
00:57:07Hmph.
00:57:16Sir.
00:57:18Hmph.
00:57:28Freeze!
00:57:38Freeze!
00:57:43Should we fight them?
00:57:45Are we being paid enough to fight them?
00:57:47No.
00:57:58Aaron!
00:58:05Aaron!
00:58:06Talk to me!
00:58:07Leah!
00:58:08Safe.
00:58:09She's safe, man.
00:58:11Oh.
00:58:16Come on.
00:58:17Let's get you moved.
00:58:19Oh.
00:58:22Patience.
00:58:24Patience?
00:58:26Aaron could be in there dying and we're just sitting here watching and waiting.
00:58:29I feel utterly useless.
00:58:31By watching, we keep our people from being surrounded.
00:58:34Besides, you're the one who decided to call in Reuben.
00:58:37You agreed to follow his orders.
00:58:39Wait.
00:58:40I think I see something.
00:58:41Over there.
00:58:42I can't be certain, but it kind of looks like...
00:58:45Tyler.
00:58:49What was that for?
00:58:51Get down.
00:58:52You don't want him to see us.
00:58:54We can't let that bastard get away.
00:58:57I'm not.
00:58:59You're staying here where it's safe.
00:59:02Fine, but I'm doing this under protest.
00:59:05Protest noted.
00:59:07Now, stay here.
00:59:0997, 98, 99, 100.
00:59:19Oh.
00:59:20Oh.
00:59:31Aaron.
00:59:32Thank God.
00:59:33His 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're so calm.
00:59:50He's not making any sense. What's going on?
00:59:54I think you know.
00:59:57Lesnar.
01:00:00Aaron doesn't have any special antibodies.
01:00:02That is correct.
01:00:04So what do we do? How can we-
01:00:07There's no cure. We can only mitigate symptoms.
01:00:09How?
01:00:11I think you know that too.
01:00:18I think you know that too.
01:00:21Um, is there somebody we should call?
01:00:25You.
01:00:28I want it to be you.
01:00:31Only you.
01:00:33Let's clear you guys out of this room.
01:00:40Go ahead.
01:01:02Go ahead.
01:01:03Go ahead.
01:01:03Go ahead.
01:01:03Go ahead.
01:01:03Go ahead.
01:01:04Go ahead.
01:01:04Go ahead.
01:01:04Go ahead.
01:01:05Go ahead.
01:01:05Go ahead.
01:01:05Go ahead.
01:01:05Go ahead.
01:01:06Go ahead.
01:01:06Go ahead.
01:01:07Go ahead.
01:01:07Go ahead.
01:01:07Go ahead.
01:01:07Go ahead.
01:01:08Go ahead.
01:01:08Go ahead.
01:01:08Go ahead.
01:01:09Go ahead.
01:01:09Go ahead.
01:01:09Go ahead.
01:01:09Go ahead.
01:01:10Go ahead.
01:01:11Go ahead.
01:01:11Go ahead.
01:01:11Go ahead.
01:01:11Go ahead.
01:01:11Go ahead.
01:01:12Go ahead.
01:01:12Go ahead.
01:01:13Go ahead.
01:01:13Go ahead.
01:01:13Go ahead.
01:01:13Go ahead.
01:01:14Go ahead.
01:01:15Go ahead.
01:01:15Go ahead.
01:01:15Go ahead.
01:01:15Go ahead.
01:01:16Go ahead.
01:01:16Go ahead.
01:01:47I almost had them.
01:02:00You're welcome.
01:02:02Well, it's 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.
01:02:11If you'd stop playing on Leah.
01:02:13Maybe.
01:02:15If she asked me to.
01:02:17So, where is she?
01:02:20With Aaron.
01:02:32It's inferior to Lizard Gorty, you know.
01:02:36Don't make me open a door on you two.
01:02:37How are you feeling?
01:02:54Better.
01:02:56Thanks to Leah.
01:02:57Good.
01:02:58Good.
01:03:00But I still need to get you checked out.
01:03:02I called the doctor and she's going to meet you at home when you arrive.
01:03:05Um, I'll be right back.
01:03:10You love him.
01:03:11I do.
01:03:12And I wish you the best.
01:03:15It's been an honor serving you both.
01:03:17So, what happens now?
01:03:22Well, Lady Tiffany has decided to remain in Rozeal with you and placing her safety in the hands
01:03:30of your Major General.
01:03:31But what about you?
01:03:33I'll see what good I can do in Lizard Gorty.
01:03:36It may be in chaos now, but I'll always remain loyal to the royal family.
01:03:43Thank you for everything you've done for me and for my family.
01:03:47Goodbye, Princess.
01:03:56Princess, should I be worried?
01:03:59It's a long story.
01:04:01I'll tell you about it when we get home.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:03But before there's any other misunderstandings, I want to make something clear.
01:04:08About what?
01:04:09Leah, I love you.
01:04:13I know that might seem sudden, but it's not.
01:04:18Look, over everything we've been through the last few weeks, I just...
01:04:21I just want to ensure that there are not any misunderstandings.
01:04:24I'm so in love with you, and I have been for a long time.
01:04:35I want you to know.
01:04:37I want everyone to know that.
01:04:43Leah, please say something.
01:04:45I love you.
01:04:49I love you, too.
01:04:50In that case, shall we let the world know?
01:05:04Leah Jenkins?
01:05:07Will you marry me?
01:05:09Yes.
01:05:10Yes.
01:05:11Oh, my God, yes.
01:05:16Oh, my God.
01:05:17Oh, my God.
01:05:20Hi, General.
01:05:41I didn't realize I'd be seeing you in person today.
01:05:44The situation called for, Lieutenant.
01:05:46You and the Major General have cause to be proud.
01:05:48Thank you, sir.
01:05:50Major General Aaron Harrell, I am here on behalf of Ruazil itself to congratulate you on completing
01:05:58your mission and ensuring the safety of our people.
01:06:02The honor is mine, High General Shang.
01:06:03When you first undertook this task, I conferred with my fellow elders.
01:06:08We had faith in your success, and thus already had in mind the next mission that we wish to offer you.
01:06:13We have an undercover mission overseas.
01:06:22We need someone who is truly capable to investigate a colony in Ithbeck.
01:06:26Hi, General.
01:06:27I thank you.
01:06:29I do.
01:06:31But I already know I cannot accept.
01:06:33You can't.
01:06:34An undercover mission to Ithbeck would interfere with planning my wedding.
01:06:43You were...
01:06:44Oh, I see.
01:06:49The utmost congratulations to you, Major General.
01:06:51May you both flourish.
01:06:54I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:24I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:26I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:27I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:28I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:29I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:30I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:31I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:32I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:33I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:34I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:35I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:36I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:37I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
