00:00Dear friends, across the river, my hands are cold and bad.
00:26Dear friends, across the river, take what you can spend.
00:39I ask if you a penny, my fortune will be.
00:55I ask you without anything.
01:02We raise the mighty towers.
01:08Our homes are built up stars.
01:13So come across the river and find...
01:22...to the river, take what you can do to the river.
01:29The river, take what you can do to the river, take what you can do to the river.
01:37The river, the river.
01:46And you know you learn from the river, take what you can do to the river.
04:22We're almost there.
04:38Oh, man.
04:51Hey, Powder.
04:53Come take a look.
04:54Oh.
04:59It's nice getting above it all, huh?
05:00One day, I'm gonna ride in one of those things.
05:24And one day, I'm gonna shoot one of them down.
05:29Vi, are you sure about this?
05:31Look, if we get caught, we're...
05:32We're not gonna get caught.
05:34We'll be in and out before anyone notices.
05:35All right, everybody, follow me.
05:42Just don't look down.
05:43Couldn't we have at least just walked there?
06:08We've got to stay out of sight for this one.
06:17Called it.
06:18This is on you, Vi.
06:20I'll get her.
06:21No.
06:22Powder, look at me.
06:24What did I tell you?
06:25But...
06:26But...
06:27I'm ready.
06:29That's right.
06:30So?
06:30Thanks.
06:52Thanks.
06:52Thanks.
07:00What if Vandr finds out we're all the way up here?
07:14Look around you.
07:16You think anyone topside's going hungry?
07:18Besides, this is exactly the sort of job Vandr would have pulled when he was our age.
07:24I'm going.
07:26Are you with me or not?
07:27Vandr's going to kill us.
07:32Yeah, only if we screw up.
07:34So don't screw up.
07:50All clear.
07:51Who locks their balcony?
08:07There's tons of enforcers down there.
08:09Means we're in the right place.
08:11You're going to get that door open anytime soon?
08:12Working on it.
08:14Seeing as I'm the only one who knows how to pick locks, I suggest...
08:17Animals.
08:22Animals.
08:25You know, Clagger?
08:43For once, you're right.
08:45We are definitely not supposed to be here.
08:53Hmm.
09:06Must be an inventor.
09:07I think this is a real Valdiani.
09:17Oh, yeah?
09:18What about this?
09:21That's a nose hair trimmer.
09:24Keep an eye out for anything that looks valuable powder.
09:27Before Milo fills the bag with junk.
09:29Uh, guys?
09:39Wait, Vi, how the hell did we find this place?
09:42It was a tip from Little Man.
09:44Little Man?
09:45Just leave it.
09:47Come on.
09:48How can anyone have so much stuff?
09:51Simple.
09:52Just get born lucky.
09:53Okay.
09:53Okay.
09:53Okay.
09:59Let's see.
10:24Let's go.
10:54Milo!
11:05Milo, we gotta go!
11:10Hello?
11:11Someone in the room?
11:19Come on!
11:21You'll be fine. Just get back on the roof.
11:28Hold on!
11:35Look out!
11:49Hold on!
11:53Look out!
11:56Look out!
12:06Shit!
12:07Stop right there!
12:19Stop right there!
12:20Tassel!
12:21Hey!
12:22Get out of here!
12:24Get out of here!
12:35You walk this way!
12:37Get out there!
12:40We take this way!
12:55Hurry!
13:04This way!
13:07Go, go, go!
13:19Go, go, go!
13:32Man, not again! I just got this shirt!
13:34I thought last time was the last time we were gonna do this.
13:50Well, this time's the last time.
13:52Guys, what was that? What the hell happened back there?
13:56I don't know. I didn't do anything.
13:58You could fill a damn library with all the things you didn't do.
14:00Guys, we just emptied the Piltover penthouse right under the enforcers' noses.
14:04So, if you're done beating yourselves up, let's get this home.
14:06Let's get this home.
14:08Oh!
14:09Oh!
14:10Oh!
14:11Oh!
14:12Oh!
14:13Oh!
14:14Oh!
14:15Oh!
14:16Oh!
14:17Oh!
14:18Oh!
14:19Nice haul.
14:42You could say that.
14:43I heard there was some action across the river.
14:47Someone, uh, someone really kicked the nest, huh?
14:49Is that so?
14:55But now you're tracking this mess of yours through my streets.
14:59Your streets?
15:00What makes you think-
15:01We don't want any trouble, okay?
15:03Hear that, Deckard?
15:04They don't want any trouble.
15:05You know, in my experience, trouble finds you.
15:09There's no reason this has to get ugly.
15:12How about you share a little taste of your treasure there, and we'll call it even.
15:16No, no, no.
15:17We worked too hard to-
15:18Just a taste?
15:26Just a-
15:27Ah!
15:35Hm?
15:37Ah!
15:41Ah!
15:41Oh, my God.
16:11I don't know.
16:41I don't know.
17:11I don't know.
17:12I don't know.
17:13I don't know.
17:14I don't know.
17:15I don't know.
17:16This day's turning out all right after all.
17:18Wait!
17:19Wanna see how that ends?
17:23Wanna see how that ends?
17:33Where's Powder?
17:46Oh!
17:47Oh!
17:48Oh!
17:49Little!
17:50Come on, Mauser.
17:51I need you.
17:52Come on, Mauser.
17:53I need you.
17:54Come on, Mauser.
17:55I need you.
17:56Come on, Mauser.
17:57I need you.
18:03Come on, Mauser.
18:04I need you.
18:05Come on, Mauser.
18:06I need you.
18:12Come on, Mauser.
18:13Come on, Mauser.
18:14I need you.
18:15Come on, Mauser.
18:16Come on.
18:17Come on, Mauser.
18:18I need you.
18:19Oh, my God.
18:49You did what?
18:59I'm sorry. I tried to fight him off with Mauser, but she didn't work.
19:04Who saw that coming?
19:05We never should have gone over there.
19:07Doesn't matter. The stuff's gone.
19:10It's all right, Powder.
19:12At least you're okay.
19:14Okay? What about us?
19:16I get my face bashed in and she just gets a pass?
19:19Yep.
19:28Every time. Every time she comes, something goes wrong.
19:33She jinxes every job.
19:35Just drop it, Milo.
19:36Who told you I was out here?
19:49Come along if you wanted a peek.
19:53Come along, tell me under the table.
20:05What do you think?
20:08Welcome to the playground.
20:15Come along, follow me.
20:18Tell me your nightmares and fantasy.
20:24Sink into the waste when I'm done in need.
20:29Stay still.
20:32Shut up.
20:33I'm ready.
20:34You don't want to know.
20:46You've done that.
20:48You don't want to know.
20:48You don't want to know.
20:50I see you doin' that.
20:51What brings you to the lost and found ways?
21:16Well, I suppose that concludes our business, then.
21:21I suppose it does.
21:26Wait a minute. This isn't what we agreed on, so...
21:31Well, demand for your wares has dropped since we made our arrangements. This is the new value.
21:37We shook on it. Ten thousand.
21:41Such are the risks of business.
21:43Ten.
21:44It's a fair price. I think you should take it.
21:48No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. I can't do that. I can't do that.
21:59Make your choice.
22:01You folks need anything? Leave us. You sure about that? Sounded to me like...
22:12Piss off.
22:14Oh.
22:20I think I know what you need.
22:22You don't seem to listen, partner.
22:24A bit of advice. Don't threaten the guy who pours the drinks.
22:28So you're van der.
22:31Hound of the underground. I expected something... younger.
22:41We were expecting traders who would honor their word. So I guess we're all disappointed.
22:48You got us all wrong, my friend. We were just... negotiating.
22:54Now you're speaking my language. How about you just give Huck the rest of what you owe him,
22:59and I'll let you walk out of here in one piece.
23:08Do we, uh, have a deal?
23:19This is vile.
23:20You'll learn to love it.
23:29Welcome to the Lines.
23:36Van der learns none of this.
23:38No worries there. Powder took care of the evidence.
23:41I tried, okay? You don't get it. You're older, you're bigger. It isn't fair.
23:46So stick with us. Take a punch or two.
23:50Everyone all right?
23:55Never better.
23:56Good.
23:58I don't suppose you can explain why it is that I'm hearing about an explosion and a foot chase topside?
24:04Four children fleeing the scene.
24:10What the hell were you thinking?
24:11That we can handle a real job.
24:13A real job?
24:14We got our own tip, planned a route, nobody even saw.
24:16You blew up a building.
24:18That wasn't...
24:19Did you even stop to think about what could have happened to you?
24:21Eh?
24:22To them?
24:31Where did you even get this tip?
24:32We just heard it at Benzo's shop.
24:36From?
24:37Little man.
24:39Oh.
24:40I took us there.
24:41If you want to be mad, be mad at me.
24:43But you're the one who always says we have to earn our place in this world.
24:47I also told you time and time again the north side's off limits.
24:51We stay out of Piltover's business.
24:53Why?
24:54They've got plenty while we're down here scraping together coins.
24:57When did you get so comfortable living in someone else's shadow?
25:03Everyone out.
25:04Sit down.
25:05I'm fine.
25:06Sit.
25:07Down.
25:08Those kids look up to you.
25:11Yeah, I know.
25:12You know, but you don't know.
25:13When people look up to you, you don't get to be selfish.
25:15You say run, they run.
25:26You say swim, they dive in.
25:27You say light a fire, they show up with oil.
25:30Whatever happens, it's on you.
25:34I'm not...
25:35You say run, they run.
25:38You say run, they dive in.
25:39You say fight...
25:40They show up with oil.
25:41But whatever happens...
25:42It's on you.
25:46Just like it's on me, what happens to us down here.
25:49We make ourselves a problem for Piltover,
25:52and they will send the enforcers.
25:54So? Why answer to them?
25:56These are our streets. Someone should remind them of that.
25:58You're not hearing me.
26:00That path, this,
26:03it's not going to solve your problems.
26:06It just makes more of them.
26:09We clear?
26:12How'd you get this?
26:18Some idiot was following us.
26:21On our side? Who?
26:23I don't know.
26:25He was after the stuff.
26:26Where is it now?
26:30We lost it.
26:32All of it?
26:34Good.
26:36Nothing can tie you to what happened up there.
26:40You're going to have to lay low for a bit.
26:42Understand?
26:42Okay.
26:46We're going to be fine, right?
26:48I'll take care of it.
26:57Oh, you did put that idiot on his arse, though, right?
27:01Mm-hmm.
27:03Get up, tagger.
27:14We're going out.
27:15Wait, now?
27:16Hey, hey, hey, that's mine.
27:20You want to be treated like adults, right?
27:23I think you should know better than to come back from a job empty-handed.
27:27I'm going to have a little word with your informant.
27:31All right.
27:32Give me the details of exactly what happened up there.
27:35She's a problem.
27:56Milo, I'm really not...
27:57Do you remember what was in that bag?
27:59Biggest payout we've ever seen, and she just lost it.
28:02She made a mistake.
28:03Name one time she hasn't.
28:05She's young.
28:06Don't bullshit me.
28:07We're twice the person at half her age.
28:09You know what, Milo?
28:12You're right.
28:13There's a bunch of things Powder just can't do.
28:15You don't have to tell me twice.
28:19Like complain about everything.
28:21What?
28:22And brag nonstop.
28:23Okay, okay.
28:24I see where this is going.
28:25Pick fights with the group when we need to focus.
28:27Fine, I...
28:28And tell strangers on the street that we got a nice call.
28:31I didn't mean to...
28:32Powder's my problem, okay?
28:34Your problem is never knowing when to shut up.
28:36But I'm going to help you with that.
28:38Ready?
28:38You see this look on my face?
28:40This will always mean it's time to shut up.
28:43But I...
28:49Nobody comes in.
28:57We're closed.
28:58We'll open up.
29:00For good.
29:02You can take your worthless junk elsewhere.
29:05Just as well.
29:06Owner's the shittiest businessman I know.
29:13Echo!
29:13What's going on with that thing?
29:15Give me a few seconds.
29:16The kid in Pinion's still busted.
29:18Finish it later.
29:19Vanda and I need a word.
29:20But...
29:20Off you go.
29:21You're a little early.
29:32Our guys are still rounding up this month's collections.
29:35Won't have numbers until it's done.
29:38Who?
29:38Why are you mucking about with this?
29:42I assume you've heard.
29:44Yeah.
29:44Me and half the Undercity.
29:47How could they be so stupid?
29:50The younger folk think it's the right thing to do.
29:52Yeah.
29:53And Vi is one of them.
29:54Throws herself at trouble wherever she can find some.
29:57Yeah.
29:58They're growing up, Vanda.
30:00Looking to write their own stories.
30:02You can't protect them forever.
30:05Someone was following them.
30:06A whole lot of someones, from what I heard.
30:08Not Enforcers.
30:10Someone on our side.
30:12Who?
30:14There's worse things than Enforcers out there.
30:17We both know that.
30:21Yeah, I was hoping you'd be working today.
30:23Did you guys go?
30:24Sure did.
30:25Hey, listen.
30:26How did you find that place?
30:28I just...
30:28Whoa!
30:28Did you fight the Enforcers?
30:30What?
30:31Oh, no.
30:31Just some bombs.
30:33Oh, did Vi kick their asses?
30:34Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be here otherwise.
30:36Oh, she showed me a couple of moves to practice.
30:39Look.
30:42Yeah, it's...
30:42It's coming along.
30:44Hey, so how'd you find that place anyway?
30:46Uh, this weirdo came into the shop.
30:48Bought a whole bunch of stuff Benzo only keeps there for display.
30:51He paid in gold and didn't even haggle.
30:54I charged him double price.
30:56Oh, sucker.
30:57But how did you know where he lived?
30:59Uh, followed him.
31:00How else?
31:01Oh, right.
31:04Oh, crap.
31:08Uh...
31:09They'll be fine.
31:10Go!
31:14Well, hello.
31:16Evening, friends.
31:30Shit.
31:36Something I can help you with?
31:37Some trench of trash attacked one of the buildings in the Academy District.
31:41But you already knew that.
31:43We're looking for the culprits.
31:45Got a description?
31:46Yeah.
31:47It's exactly who you're picturing in that thick head of yours.
31:51You think my head is thick?
31:52Uh...
31:53Just past the average.
31:54Listen, you shady son of...
31:56How about you go for a little walk, Marcus?
31:59Cool off a bit.
32:01Go.
32:01Go.
32:02See you next time.
32:12Go.
32:14Go.
32:28Whoa.
32:28Lovely chap, you brought.
32:36Don't mind the kid. Doesn't have what to pipe down.
32:40Some things are the same, top side and bottom.
32:48You know this crossed the line upstairs?
32:50Was anyone hurt?
32:52A building was blown to bits. What do you think?
32:56Those who did this will be dealt with.
33:00That workshop belonged to the Kermans.
33:02You know what kind of stuff they had in there?
33:06Makes this place look like a candy shop.
33:08The council needs someone to make an example of.
33:12People need to feel safe.
33:14Top side people.
33:16We had a deal, Randa.
33:18You keep your people off my streets,
33:20and I stay out of your business.
33:22Give me a name.
33:24We'll do things quiet.
33:26No one will know you were involved.
33:28I can't do that.
33:30You don't seem to grasp how serious this is.
33:33If I don't put someone behind bars tonight,
33:35the next time I come down here,
33:37I'll have an army of enforcers with me.
33:39We both know how that'll go.
33:41I'm sorry, Grayson.
33:43But I can't offer up my own people.
33:51If you change your mind,
33:53this will reach me.
33:55And only me.
34:11What are you calling this one?
34:27Whisker.
34:31You want to talk about today?
34:33What's the point?
34:34I ruined everything.
34:36I always do.
34:37Nobody said that.
34:38No.
34:39Just that you were twice the person at half my age.
34:43You heard them.
34:45I'm not a fighter.
34:47You don't have to be.
34:50Look.
34:51I've got these.
34:52And you've got those.
34:54They never work.
34:56They will.
34:59Come with me.
35:00What?
35:01Come on.
35:08What are we doing here?
35:19See that gutter running along the canal?
35:30That's where Clagger got his foot stuck running from enforcers.
35:33They thought it was funny so they left him there.
35:38He was out all night before we found him.
35:42That sign?
35:46You see it?
35:47Huh?
35:48Milo tripped over his own paint bucket and nearly fell off trying to draw a giant middle finger.
35:54His ass made that splotch.
35:56And that?
35:59When I was a kid, some guy took my favorite toy and threw it up there.
36:08I used to come out here at night and stare at it.
36:11Hoping maybe the wind or a bird might knock it down.
36:16We've all had bad days.
36:21But we learn.
36:24And we stick together.
36:29Oh, I forgot.
36:32These were in my pocket.
36:34They're from the apartment.
36:36What are they?
36:39I don't know.
36:41Should we show Vander?
36:42No.
36:43No.
36:48Let's keep this our little secret.
36:51Milo's wrong, Powder.
36:54You're stronger than you think.
36:56And one day,
36:58this city's gonna respect us.
37:00Don't you?
37:01No.
37:02No.
37:03No.
37:04Oof.
37:19Uh-huh.
37:22Uh-huh.
37:23Uh-huh.
37:25Uh.
37:28Uh-huh.
37:29You were supposed to follow them and not interfere.
37:40I'm sorry.
37:42He's just caught us by surprise.
37:44Now his accomplice is asking questions about you.
37:49And that's not a risk I'm willing to take.
37:54The kids.
37:56It was their fault.
37:57The explosion in the upper city.
38:00That was them?
38:01Yeah.
38:02The topsiders are up in arms looking for them.
38:06Vanduil's in trouble.
38:14Smartest thing you ever said, boy.
38:17Get him a meal.
38:20I'll keep him off the streets.
38:22Our timeline has moved up.
38:28It's almost ready.
38:32Show me.
38:41Feeding time.
38:42The side effects.
38:52Stabilizing.
39:02Nothing.
39:04Nothing.
39:04Nothing.
