00:00:00When I was seven,
00:00:28I had no memory of being six, it didn't matter. My parents adopted me because they loved me and Aaron, Aaron took me in because he cared. But even then, I didn't know how much. As I carried him, so he would carry me through so much. This is only where it begins.
00:00:57Yeah? Hi Aaron. Where have you been? Where have you been? Getting shot in all sorts of weird places.
00:01:05I've been installed as Major General in my house. I'm authority sector now. Sometimes that means taking some hits.
00:01:17Well, I would say congratulations, but I know you only probably got the position early because your father's health failed, so...
00:01:25Yeah. He's gone. Lester heard your parents were dead too. And your aunt and uncle were taking you in?
00:01:32Well, 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.
00:01:47I'm sorry I'm late. I was turning in my paper. You'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. When was the last time I saw you?
00:02:11Uh, a few months ago, at your father's funeral. I'm so sorry.
00:02:16Don't worry about it. I'm over it.
00:02:18But he's your dad.
00:02:20Was my dad. You understand. When you work for the authority sector, you have no time for family.
00:02:27Well, Aaron has plenty of time for- Aaron. Aaron. Aaron. Aaron. Enough about Aaron. Don't talk to me about him. He has no time for me.
00:02:38Calm down, Benzo. I've got just the thing you need.
00:02:46Oh! Uh, none for me. Thanks.
00:02:51Brendan! Hi!
00:02:54Leah. Fancy seeing you outside the classroom again. You're not spying on me, are you?
00:03:00No, I'm not. I promise. And I did do my paper on the Civil War and Lisa Gore before I arrived.
00:03:07Great! And I'm looking forward to reading what you know about my mother country.
00:03:11So, who's the hottie? Your boyfriend?
00:03:26Oh, that's just Brendan. He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:30I think he likes you. You should show him your appreciation for all his hard work.
00:03:36Stella!
00:03:37Here's to being appreciated for all our hard work.
00:03:40Um, will you excuse me? I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:56Mm-hmm. The restroom. Right. Have fun.
00:04:02What's the situation report?
00:04:31We've traced the distribution of their new designer drug to this club.
00:04:37We were able to get a sample of it, and the lab boffins determined there are markers in the chemical composition,
00:04:42which determine it's a Class VII.
00:04:45Damn it!
00:04:46What can you tell me about this Mesmer?
00:04:49It's fast acting, and it was originally developed as a date rape drug.
00:04:53It raises libido, lowers inhibition, causes memory loss, and induces a potentially fatal brain fever in the victim.
00:05:08It also increases the sensitivity of the nerve receptors, causing intense sensations of pain and pleasure.
00:05:15So how does it work?
00:05:35You can't tell what's wrong at first. After all, starving is very different from just being a little hungry.
00:05:45And 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.
00:05:59We need a doctor!
00:06:00If this is what I think it is, a doctor can't help her.
00:06:04What is it?
00:06:06Mesmer.
00:06:07Are you certain?
00:06:09As certain as I can be, without a blood test.
00:06:13All right.
00:06:14You said the drug causes a potentially fatal brain fever?
00:06:18Look, if a doctor can't help her, then who can?
00:06:21What's the cure?
00:06:22There is no cure.
00:06:24No antidote.
00:06:25We can only mitigate these symptoms.
00:06:28Mitigate how?
00:06:30The only known treatment is skin contact.
00:06:35Lots of skin contact.
00:06:37I don't know if she's seen anyone.
00:06:43We haven't talked about her love life in over a year.
00:06:46I have a suggestion.
00:06:48Maybe.
00:06:49Look, it can't just be anyone.
00:06:51She's too precious.
00:06:54It has to be someone that she loves.
00:06:56You.
00:06:57I want it to be you.
00:07:00Only you.
00:07:02Are you certain?
00:07:10Help me.
00:07:12Do you know what this means?
00:07:15Yes.
00:07:17I'll be outside if you need it.
00:07:32I'm bored.
00:07:55Don't worry.
00:07:56I got just the thing.
00:08:01This has all the benefits and none of the drawbacks.
00:08:05I'll even throw it in for free.
00:08:08Mmm.
00:08:12Ahhhh.
00:08:20Hey.
00:08:21You want to help me ride through this trip?
00:08:24Sorry.
00:08:25I don't offer those services.
00:08:27You smell just like him.
00:08:31I've got places to go.
00:08:34But I do have a couple of friends who are more than willing to help you out.
00:08:37For a price.
00:08:38Friends.
00:08:39Plural.
00:08:40Yes, please.
00:08:42It was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:08:55Everyone freeze.
00:08:56Authority sector is securing the area.
00:09:10Authority sector is securing the area.
00:09:20Last night, the authority sector proceeded with a drug bust at a bar in the East End.
00:09:25Your excuse, Gary.
00:09:26They report that while their seizure of the drugs was successful, the leader of the ring remains at large.
00:09:32His true name still a mystery.
00:09:34One of the people arrested at the scene is the daughter of a recently fallen major general.
00:09:39University student Stella Shelly remains held for questioning.
00:09:43What?
00:09:45How dare they?
00:09:46Gary!
00:09:47Aaron better not have anything to do with this.
00:09:51I'm afraid that Major General Aaron Harold was in charge of the raid bomb.
00:09:59It appears that Miss Stella is being held in the same facility as last time.
00:10:04Call the lawyers.
00:10:06Yeah, thanks for the update.
00:10:11And send Leah my love-
00:10:12Uh, let her know.
00:10:13I will call and check on her.
00:10:15Later.
00:10:28Mrs. Shelly.
00:10:30What may I do for you?
00:10:31You can begin by explaining why you had my daughter arrested.
00:10:34Especially after you promised my husband that you'd take care of us.
00:10:37You know I can't comment on ongoing authority sector investigations.
00:10:41At the time of the arrest, I was unaware of Stella's presence at the site.
00:10:46Be that as it may, you could have done something to prevent her name from being released to the press.
00:10:51Do you know how I felt hearing about my daughter's arrest?
00:10:54Like she was a common criminal?
00:10:56It was an embarrassment.
00:10:57I'm sure it isn't Aaron's fault.
00:10:59I know.
00:11:00I put myself in a vulnerable situation.
00:11:04Sometimes I just get so upset about Teddy's death.
00:11:10I just...
00:11:11I miss him so much.
00:11:14I'll see what I can do.
00:11:16Very well then.
00:11:17In the meantime, you must come to lunch at our place.
00:11:18Just to show we put this shameful business behind us.
00:11:19Certainly.
00:11:20You were right, Ms. Jenkins.
00:11:21You had a very harsh encounter with a class-7 drug.
00:11:22We just got the blood test required.
00:11:23You're right, Ms. Jenkins.
00:11:24You were right, Ms. Jenkins.
00:11:25You had a very harsh encounter with a class-7 drug.
00:11:26Yes.
00:11:27Certainly.
00:11:42What happened?
00:11:43You were right, Ms. Jenkins.
00:11:45You had a very harsh encounter with a class 7 drug.
00:11:48We just got the blood test result back.
00:11:51When we got the result back, we also found some antibodies that's fighting the after effect of the drug.
00:12:04Lucky you.
00:12:05Lucky?
00:12:06Yes.
00:12:09Most people would need to be held for observation for weeks, but you're almost good as new.
00:12:13I am?
00:12:14Yes.
00:12:15I actually did a paper on this condition back in school.
00:12:18There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:12:22There's the monks of Ithbac, the old ostocracy of Lissagor, and the nudist colony.
00:12:28In...
00:12:30If you're done with your examination, I'll send the two of you out.
00:12:34Anything for the Major General.
00:12:35Okay.
00:12:40So...
00:12:41What really happened?
00:12:48So...
00:12:49What really happened?
00:12:52Aaron treated you.
00:12:53Then he carried you home, and he delegated the mission to me.
00:12:56I finished the bus.
00:12:58Okay, I remember going to find you guys, and...
00:13:01And...
00:13:02I remember asking him something, but...
00:13:05I wanna know what...
00:13:06We seized the contraband.
00:13:08But we failed to ID the ringleader.
00:13:11We know he got away.
00:13:13Wasn't what I was asking!
00:13:15I mean, it was, but...
00:13:17It's not what I wanna know...
00:13:19First.
00:13:20I know.
00:13:22But...
00:13:23You were in trouble.
00:13:24And...
00:13:25We were short on time.
00:13:27Aaron did what he had to do.
00:13:30Hey, we never have to talk about this again.
00:13:37Don't we?
00:13:50What are you doing?
00:13:53I wanted to talk to you after class.
00:13:55What?
00:13:56So you can criticize me about how I'm not taking my studies seriously enough?
00:13:59Yeah.
00:14:00No thanks.
00:14:01You actually made some good points in your paper.
00:14:02You just...
00:14:03You didn't go far enough.
00:14:04You didn't cover half the required topics, and...
00:14:05Between that and the grammar, I just...
00:14:07Couldn't give you a better grade.
00:14:08Professor Olsen hasn't looked at the grades yet.
00:14:10I could...
00:14:12Temporarily...
00:14:13Lose your paper for a couple of days, and...
00:14:15Give you the opportunity to rewrite it.
00:14:17Really?
00:14:19So.
00:14:20Much.
00:14:21I'm gonna get started right away.
00:14:25Hey.
00:14:27Tough teachers are a bummer.
00:14:29Oh, that.
00:14:30That was entirely my fault.
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:33Really?
00:14:34Well, Aaron recently helped me out with a difficult situation.
00:14:37It'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.
00:14:44It's not fair.
00:14:45But you know...
00:14:46It strikes me...
00:14:47I don't know you as well as I ought.
00:14:50After all, you are Aaron's family.
00:14:52And who knows what the future holds.
00:14:55So...
00:14:57In order for bygones to be bygones, I got you a gift.
00:15:00Oh.
00:15:01There's no need.
00:15:02I don't have it with me now, but...
00:15:04How about I stop by Aaron's house and say an hour?
00:15:07Honestly, we're good.
00:15:10So ungrateful.
00:15:13Stuck up bitch.
00:15:20How's two or three sound?
00:15:22Oh, perfect.
00:15:24Toodles.
00:15:25Please.
00:15:43Leah!
00:15:44So good of you to wait for me.
00:15:46I didn't think you were still coming.
00:15:49I would never break my word.
00:15:55Oh, poor thing.
00:15:59It appears my gift is more needed than I thought.
00:16:05Uh, thank you.
00:16:09I'm sorry.
00:16:10I really think you should go.
00:16:11I've got some homework to get back to.
00:16:13Oh, don't be ridiculous.
00:16:14I want to see how it fits.
00:16:31Aaron!
00:16:32Stella.
00:16:33It looks smart to see you here.
00:16:34I hope we're still on for lunch tomorrow.
00:16:36Yeah, that's fine.
00:16:37Awesome.
00:16:38We'll be all so excited to see you.
00:16:40Oh my god, what'd you do to it?
00:16:43No, it was already like this.
00:16:45I just came out to show you.
00:16:46If you didn't like it, you could just say so.
00:16:49Or just accept it and not wear it.
00:16:52Honestly.
00:16:53What? No, I...
00:16:54Excuse me.
00:16:58I thought Leah and I could take a day to bond.
00:17:01After all, she and I both went through something so terrible.
00:17:04But it's like...
00:17:06Like she blames me or something, you know?
00:17:11But you would know better than that.
00:17:13Don't you, Aaron?
00:17:14Leah makes mistakes like anyone else.
00:17:16I would please ask that you give her the benefit of the doubt.
00:17:19And you're gonna tell her the same thing?
00:17:20Yes.
00:17:25Sorry, I have to go.
00:17:27We'll talk later.
00:17:28Yeah, um...
00:17:29We're just gonna go...
00:17:30Go do the thing.
00:17:31Yeah, because we had a thing to do.
00:17:32Later.
00:17:33And now it's...
00:17:34Later.
00:17:35I know I was short with you on my dad's funeral.
00:17:36It's okay.
00:17:37It's not.
00:17:38Daddy loved Aaron.
00:17:39He always knew that he had become part of the family one day.
00:17:42I'm sorry.
00:17:43I bet I could do it.
00:17:44Yeah, yeah.
00:17:45It's okay.
00:17:46I'm sorry.
00:17:47We're just gonna go...
00:17:48Go do the thing.
00:17:49Yeah, because we had a thing to do later.
00:17:50And now it's...
00:17:51Later.
00:17:52I know I was short with you on my dad's funeral.
00:17:55It's okay.
00:17:57It's okay.
00:17:59It's not.
00:18:00Daddy loved Aaron.
00:18:01He always knew that he'd become part of the family one day.
00:18:05one day I just didn't think he'd die before he got the chance to see it
00:18:09happen and I understand that Aaron needs some time to grieve before he and I can
00:18:14really become an us you and Aaron okay I get it more than you know he's taken
00:18:22such good care of you and he's strong powerful not to mention his everything
00:18:30what are you talking about for some of us it's a babysitter for others it's
00:18:34a teacher or your mom's boy toy point is that we've all had inappropriate
00:18:40relationships inappropriate I know I'm not that much older than you so it can
00:18:45seem a little weird but I can keep a secret I am here to support you because
00:18:49you are Aaron's family and I think he's gonna miss you once you're gone
00:18:57when I'm what when I'm what gone at least I assume you'll be able to go that's
00:19:10every goal for serious university students right go out in the world and
00:19:15work your own field yeah I mean I don't have any post-graduation plans yet
00:19:20okay well my bad I thought that'd be was a fluke I just know that striking out on
00:19:28your own can be really important and you're gonna need distance especially if
00:19:33Aaron encouraged you oh no he's not I didn't mean to imply that no of course not
00:19:41he's Aaron yeah right no I mean he's always been like a you know breathe it's okay
00:19:48like a brother I know and like don't worry about the dress I was mad about it
00:19:55before but I'm not anymore
00:20:25is there something I should know about the lunch with you and Stella tomorrow
00:20:29uh Mrs. Shelley invited me she wasn't particularly happy about Stella's arrest
00:20:35but I think the lunch is a chance to talk some things over well her arrest was like
00:20:39five minutes long this is Major General Shelley's family Leah he was dying when he asked me to take
00:20:49care of them going to lunch like the least I can do no yeah I know that
00:20:55but I also know that Stella was one of the last people I talked to before I started to feel that
00:21:03drug but here's to being appreciated for all our hard work do you think she did it I I think it's
00:21:17possible are you certain no you weren't the only one under the influence of
00:21:25something so was Stella granted she might have taken it herself and I can
00:21:32understand why she might not want to admit that but she's not our primary
00:21:37suspect who is that TA who's been following you around Brendan Martin
00:21:43what Brendan Brendan are you serious yeah take a look security footage has him at the scene right
00:21:58before the raid look he's exiting he's handling a lot of people's drinks and then he talks to you
00:22:05barely a minute before you came to me Brendan's not a criminal his documentation has a lot of holes in it
00:22:12okay well that's what happens when you're a refugee from another country aren't you the one who told me
00:22:17that yes but that's also what happens when you're a spy or or when you work for the biggest drug ring
00:22:24in Brazil he does not work for a drug ring and he wouldn't hurt me how do you know that because
00:22:28he's my friend I don't agree with you about Brendan but I know you always have my best interest at heart
00:22:39so always I don't like when we fight like this me neither hey do you remember when we used to have
00:22:48movie nights yeah and you hogged all the popcorn I did not but I will make the popcorn if you choose the movie
00:23:05Stella pour me some tea why Gary has the day off also hand me the report behind you
00:23:11now Aaron I'm glad you've taken the steps to make things right with Stella in the authority sector
00:23:23business the other day Mrs. Shelley I'm really sorry about you're sorry for our loss yes I know
00:23:29and you miss my husband too Joseph was always a workaholic so as a fellow major general you knew him
00:23:38better than any of us there's anything that I can do oh there is you promised to take care of Stella
00:23:44and to look after our family yes I intend for you to honor that promise especially since you slept with
00:23:51my daughter shortly before arresting her what be quiet Stella Mrs. Shelley I did not I knew a man of your
00:24:00position can never admit to such a thing out loud but let us be clear on what I do know Stella
00:24:05was quite loose-lipped when I picked her up from the facility she smelled of well certain liberties
00:24:11and she kept sniffing at her sleeves when I asked she babbled on about a wild night and still having
00:24:19the smell of your cologne on her clothes I know my daughter might not be so forthcoming at the moment
00:24:24but she was in no shape to lie to me then so by all means deny what you must just so long as you
00:24:32make good on your promises
00:24:33come in here's my paper thank you for the second chance yeah have a seat it looks better already
00:24:49did you learn anything interesting about Elizabeth it's like our professor said in class there are
00:24:56always multiple reasons for conflict but I just feel bad for the royal family how so it seems like
00:25:03they were governing responsibly and then out of nowhere bam civil war they disappear
00:25:08wait um do you have any memories from before you were adopted who told you I was adopted

00:27:53this. I invited him over. I don't need you to play knight in shining armor. I need you to leave.
00:28:01Now. We'll talk later.
00:28:06Alright.
00:28:09I don't want that man in my house. Okay, you know what? Last time I checked, this was my house too.
00:28:15He's been spying on you, and he's working for the ring. Who told you that? Little miss,
00:28:21I can do no wrong, Stella. Oh, leave her out of this. Why? What are you going to do? Marry her?
00:28:26What? No. Well, you might want to tell her that.
00:28:51Mom, where are you?
00:29:06Leah, darling, we need to go now.
00:29:10Yes, Mama.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:23Please come meet with me. It's urgent.
00:29:26I told you, I need time.
00:29:29I know, but there isn't any more time.
00:29:32I need you to meet me at the airport lot.
00:29:33I'm not going to leave the country with you.
00:29:36It's nothing like that.
00:29:38I need your help to welcome someone.
00:29:40Please.
00:29:41It's important.
00:29:52I need sleep.
00:29:53Meet me in the morning, then.
00:29:55The flight arrives in four hours.
00:29:57You have time for three more hours of rest.
00:29:59I have a headache.
00:30:01You can earn extra credit for the class.
00:30:03Fine.
00:30:14Leah.
00:30:27Leah.
00:30:30Leah?
00:30:30Huh?
00:30:32Leah.
00:30:38Oh my god.
00:30:40She's fine.
00:30:42She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:46Did she say what kind of errand it was?
00:30:48No.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:52Okay.
00:30:58Okay. Okay. Okay.
00:31:04Man, please tell me we have something on my damn cousin and that damn drug ring.
00:31:08Afraid not, boss.
00:31:10However,
00:31:12we did find something interesting regarding something else entirely.
00:31:22I'm not committing to anything.
00:31:28You know, for all I know,
00:31:30they're just weird dreams.
00:31:32Do you want to tell me about your dreams?
00:31:34When we were kids, did we used to play together?
00:31:44And you had a pet frog named Mortimer.
00:31:48All my dreams are real.
00:31:50Do you have any other memories?
00:31:52Maybe
00:31:54of your family?
00:31:56Yes, Mama.
00:31:58Just a soft voice.
00:32:00Reminders to sit up straight.
00:32:02Rule wisely.
00:32:04That's right. You're a princess, Leah.
00:32:06A princess?
00:32:08It can't be.
00:32:10There are tests that can prove it.
00:32:12The easiest is to look for specific antibodies which can be traced back to the blood of the Lizagor family.
00:32:18Yes.
00:32:20There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:32:22I'm immune to the after effects of class 7 drugs.
00:32:26Are you certain?
00:32:28Help me.
00:32:30Still processing?
00:32:32Understatement.
00:32:42You've been waiting a long time to do that.
00:32:44Waiting a long time for it to mean something.
00:32:46Who are we meeting?
00:32:48The queen of Lizagor?
00:32:50Your mother.
00:32:51Mama.
00:32:52Leah.
00:32:53Your majesty.
00:32:54Your highness.
00:32:55We have to move somewhere more private.
00:32:58Excuse me.
00:33:00I suppose you were too young to remember what Lizagor was like before you left.
00:33:12Um.
00:33:13I lost my memories in an accident when I was 7.
00:33:16There was a coup following a bloody civil war.
00:33:20Your father and I, we feared for your safety.
00:33:24We sent you out of the country ahead of the rest of the family.
00:33:27That word of your escape got to our enemies.
00:33:31And they sabotaged your route.
00:33:33That's when we got the news that you had died.
00:33:39Once Lady Tiffany and Lord Edmund were trapped in the country as political prisoners, none of their allies could contact them.
00:33:49Uh.
00:33:50Lord Edmund?
00:33:51Your father.
00:33:52He was a good man.
00:33:54And a brave one.
00:33:55He loved you very much.
00:33:59What happened to him?
00:34:00He died in prison.
00:34:01Two years ago I was able to find Lady Tiffany.
00:34:04And tell her the news.
00:34:06News?
00:34:07I found the lost princess.
00:34:10Oh shhh.
00:34:11Shhh.
00:34:12Darling.
00:34:13We can be a family once more.
00:34:15No.
00:34:16No.
00:34:17I have a family.
00:34:18Aaron.
00:34:19Yes, of course.
00:34:20The Jenkins.
00:34:21We will never forget.
00:34:22No.
00:34:23No.
00:34:24Aaron.
00:34:25He needs to know.
00:34:26Who?
00:34:27Aaron Harold.
00:34:28He took Lee in after the Jenkins died.
00:34:31He's quite protective of it.
00:34:34Oh, of course.
00:34:35We will show our gratitude on him as well.
00:34:38He won't have to worry about you anymore.
00:34:40Oh, your fiancé is more than capable of protecting you.
00:34:44My what?
00:34:45Your fiancé?
00:34:46Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:47No.
00:34:48Oh.
00:34:49I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:50I was getting to it.
00:34:51Brendan.
00:34:52My defense, your majesty.
00:34:53You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:34:54What are they supposed to do?
00:34:55It is one of our oldest traditions for the Heir of the Crown to marry a friend born into
00:34:57the espionage sector.
00:34:58the espionage sector.
00:34:59The curriculum at this place is a bit lacking, I'm afraid.
00:35:00It makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:01It makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:02Oh.
00:35:03Oh.
00:35:04Oh.
00:35:05Oh.
00:35:06Oh.
00:35:07Oh.
00:35:08Oh.
00:35:09Oh.
00:35:10Oh.
00:35:11Oh.
00:35:12Oh.
00:35:13Oh.
00:35:14Oh.
00:35:15Oh.
00:35:16Oh.
00:35:17Oh.
00:35:18Oh.
00:35:19Oh.
00:35:20Oh.
00:35:21Oh.
00:35:22Oh.
00:35:23Oh.
00:35:24Oh.
00:35:25Oh.
00:35:26Oh.
00:35:27Oh.
00:35:28Oh.
00:35:29Oh.
00:35:30Oh.
00:35:31Oh.
00:35:32Oh.
00:35:33Oh.
00:35:34Oh.
00:35:35Oh.
00:35:36Oh.
00:35:37Oh.
00:35:38Oh.
00:35:39Oh.
00:35:40Oh.
00:35:41Oh.
00:35:42Oh.
00:35:43Oh.
00:35:44Oh.
00:35:45Oh.
00:35:46Oh.
00:35:47Oh.
00:35:48Oh.
00:35:49Oh.
00:35:50Oh.
00:35:51Oh.
00:35:52Nobody went at all.
00:35:53I guarantee every woman trapped in that back alley told herself the same thing.
00:35:57No excuses, Stella.
00:36:00I've just got to take care of that via first.
00:36:04I've got a plan to show her that I'm in business.
00:36:06You should already be on the next step.
00:36:08I'm working on Aaron, okay?
00:36:11Is this going to take me?
00:36:13Stella, you will say goodbye to your mother properly, young lady.
00:36:21It's going to look great.
00:36:22You like that?
00:36:24Oh, that's nice.
00:36:25That's nice.
00:36:27And, uh...
00:36:30Damn.
00:36:34I'm forgetting something.
00:36:36I'm forgetting something.
00:36:37Oh.
00:36:40You idiot!
00:36:41I was the one who hired you.
00:36:43You got the wrong girl.
00:36:46Oh, man.
00:36:48You know, that's really rich.
00:36:50That's a good one.
00:36:51I've never heard that before.
00:36:52That's cute, even.
00:36:54I was not...
00:36:55Listen.
00:36:56I got my marching orders, Missy.
00:36:58I'm here to grab Stella Shelley.
00:37:02And that is 100% you.
00:37:06I gave you this damn assignment.
00:37:09Pick up target.
00:37:10Transport gagged in car.
00:37:12Tie up in public space.
00:37:14Beat breadcrumbs.
00:37:16And dress up with humiliating message.
00:37:18Oh, my God.
00:37:21I did not mean breadcrumbs literally.
00:37:25A, you just described our whole morning, so that means nothing to me, okay?
00:37:31And B, I ain't getting paid to be creative.
00:37:33Overpriced hack!
00:37:35Why do young people got to take things so personally?
00:37:42Last step.
00:37:44Humiliating message.
00:37:47Hmm.
00:37:47My fiancée is a major general, and once he hears about this, you are done!
00:38:00Oh, I'm scared.
00:38:02Let's do it.
00:38:05Get this off of me.
00:38:07No.
00:38:07You may recall a black market site we were researching a few months back?
00:38:16Uh, Henchman for Hire?
00:38:18I still can't believe they went with that name.
00:38:20It's accurate.
00:38:28One of our guys cracked the encryption on one of their servers.
00:38:31Finally.
00:38:32We do have to move quickly.
00:38:34They have a rather disturbing policy when it comes to compromised accounts.
00:38:39Its automation is finicky.
00:38:42Can we hack it?
00:38:43Maybe.
00:38:44But I'd rather we handled this one personally.
00:38:46There's some prominent people who've been using their services.
00:38:53I'd ask you if you're sure about this, but it's already in progress.
00:39:00I'm sure.
00:39:01And I'm not sorry.
00:39:04Somebody help me, please!
00:39:08Oh my god, Aaron.
00:39:10I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:16I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:19You have to get the guy who did this to me.
00:39:22You have to arrest him.
00:39:26Aaron.
00:39:26Aaron, are you hearing me?
00:39:28Oh, I hear you.
00:39:32And I will.
00:39:35Do you know what happens when Henchman for Hire servers detect authority sector tampering with a client's accounts?
00:39:41No.
00:39:42How would I know if-
00:39:43They flag the potentially compromised client's accounts.
00:39:48And flag them for death.
00:39:49I don't see how this is relevant to me, Aaron.
00:39:53Ruben cut the funding to your accounts before he realized.
00:39:56Ruben's a liar.
00:39:58Stop!
00:39:59Ruben has never lied to me.
00:40:03And he never will.
00:40:05And besides, you're missing the point.
00:40:07What's the point?
00:40:10This was originally going to be an assassination attempt, Stella!
00:40:14So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:20So don't you ever say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:23I'm not feeling very protected at the moment, considering I'm still here.
00:40:26And the guy who did this to me is still out there.
00:40:31We found a way to redirect the system.
00:40:34Got it to select the most recent assignment that you had assigned to it instead.
00:40:38That-
00:40:38That is not-
00:40:40Justice!
00:40:41I think it is.
00:40:43I think watching what you had planned for Leah done to you,
00:40:48I think that's beyond justice.
00:40:51I think that's mercy.
00:40:53And this is the final mercy that you or your family will ever give from me.
00:41:10Let's try this one more time.
00:41:12Huh?
00:41:23Let's try this one more time.
00:41:33Ah!
00:41:34Ah!
00:41:54Princess?
00:41:59I don't see it.
00:42:04I should tell Eren.
00:42:08He'll know what to do.
00:42:12You'll tell Eren nothing.
00:42:21With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws,
00:42:24Lizagor's Queen in Exile has announced her intention to visit Razil.
00:42:29The exact day and purpose is to raise you.
00:42:32I'm still on stakeout.
00:42:34No leads yet.
00:42:35Do you remember the cologne incident from seven years ago?
00:42:38The one involving your cousin?
00:42:40On your mother's side?
00:42:41Tyler, yes.
00:42:42Hard to forget.
00:42:43I was grateful he got kicked out before Leah had to meet him.
00:42:46Are you sure that I got the last crate?
00:42:48Eren, when that petty little shit learned you how to favorite anything,
00:42:52he wanted it for himself.
00:42:54But I'm not gonna forget that he bought every last bottle of that cologne.
00:42:58Because...
00:43:01Because General Shelly recruited my help convincing the damn store to make one last run of the stuff for you.
00:43:06I, uh...
00:43:07I didn't know that.
00:43:09Don't worry about it.
00:43:10I did it half for you, and half out of spite.
00:43:14Someone who smelled like me kept Stella company the other night.
00:43:17And I need to know if that means what I think it means.
00:43:20I'm already checking the flight records.
00:43:22Aw, hell.
00:43:24He is here.
00:43:34Your cousin has been an inspect for the past two years.
00:43:37And hasn't been to visit any monks.
00:43:40Not unless those monks were running a lot of drugs.
00:43:43Class 7 included.
00:43:45Damn it!
00:43:48I'm sorry, Eren.
00:43:49I don't know why he didn't come up on the radar or the CSAT.
00:43:53I do.
00:43:59When my aunt and uncle left the country, their names were flagged for watch.
00:44:02But I argued with Major General Shelly that Tyler was too young to have his name marked with theirs.
00:44:07Tyler raised no alarms when he crossed the border.
00:44:10And now he could be the one who drugged Leo.
00:44:13Unconfirmed.
00:44:15But possible.
00:44:18Either way, the drugs were his.
00:44:22Yes.
00:44:34Wakey wakey!
00:44:37Ah, there you are.
00:44:39Eren probably never mentioned me.
00:44:40He and I go way back.
00:44:43And as I told you, Miss Muffet,
00:44:46I know all about you.
00:44:48I wonder,
00:44:50does Eren still make Ruben do his dirty work and pretend like it was an accident?
00:44:56He always was predictable like that.
00:44:58I reckon you're the same way.
00:45:00You know, he always did gravitate towards similar P's to his pod.
00:45:06And with a face like yours,
00:45:09gravitate indeed.
00:45:11Or so his type.
00:45:13But I bet he never mentioned that either.
00:45:15Propriety, am I right?
00:45:18Can't be seen taking advantage of the sad orphan in his upright, mature care.
00:45:22At least, that's the take Mamrelle Stella has been hammering home.
00:45:27What a gold digger.
00:45:28I admire that in a bitch.
00:45:30Oh, stop your fretting.
00:45:33You're a hostage.
00:45:34You've got,
00:45:35oh,
00:45:36a 40% chance of making it up alive.
00:45:39Most players make their cliché play
00:45:43and sacrifice their pawns.
00:45:45But the patient ones leave them perfectly positioned on the board
00:45:50to take advantage of the other guy.
00:45:53And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:46:01Are you ready for your close-up?
00:46:03Come alone,
00:46:25or Miss Muffet won't survive tonight.
00:46:28Now smile,
00:46:31and say cheese.
00:46:46They're late.
00:46:47They're unprofessionally late.
00:46:49Makes a guy feel lonely.
00:46:52Hmm?
00:46:53Oh, right.
00:46:54You can't talk.
00:46:55Ah!
00:47:00Got anything to say?
00:47:02Who are you?
00:47:04Me?
00:47:05I'm the future general of Harold House.
00:47:08No.
00:47:11That's what you get.
00:47:12For being a small peer,
00:47:13you'll prevent your little pod.
00:47:16And where have you been?
00:47:18Getting coffee.
00:47:19We can get you an answer if you want.
00:47:21Get into your positions.
00:47:22Slay.
00:47:25Aaron!
00:47:31Let her go.
00:47:32I said if you came alone,
00:47:35you would see her alive.
00:47:37That doesn't mean I'm relinquishing
00:47:39bargaining chips at the start.
00:47:41Put them in the fun chair, boys.
00:47:47Do you want me to drop the search for you?
00:47:49For your drug ring?
00:47:51Wait, he's the...
00:47:52Yes, Miss Muffet.
00:47:54I know this one is shit at keeping you informed.
00:47:57But do try and keep up.
00:48:01You know, I want so much more.
00:48:04And you owe me so much more.
00:48:07I kept your name from being flagged.
00:48:09You kept mine.
00:48:11You turned me in.
00:48:13I turned your parents in.
00:48:14And me along with them.
00:48:16Oh, don't act so high and mighty about this now.
00:48:18You took my parents down that shit hole.
00:48:21And you expect me to be grateful?
00:48:23Maybe I should thank you.
00:48:31After all,
00:48:32I did get to see the world because of you.
00:48:34Exile would do that to a kid.
00:48:36The jurisdiction of the law in these other countries
00:48:38is divided into little categories.
00:48:40They make their leaders earn every little last scrap of power.
00:48:46They can't even conceive of the absolute dominion
00:48:49that is the authority sector of Razu.
00:48:51And inheriting that kind of power?
00:48:53Passing it to a capable family member.
00:48:56Because you think you should trust family?
00:48:59Unthinkable.
00:49:01So Aaron here is just a little more worldly than everyone else.
00:49:05Wait.
00:49:06Go figure.
00:49:08I'm sorry.
00:49:12I can't believe that.
00:49:15Let it go.
00:49:17I can't believe it.
00:49:18I can't believe it.
00:49:19Please, take a moment.
00:49:20And that's not really true.
00:49:21I can't believe it.
00:49:22It's just a great moment.
00:49:23I can't believe it.
00:49:25I can't believe it?
00:49:26I can believe it.
00:49:27I can believe it.
00:49:28I can't believe it.
00:49:29It's just a great moment.
00:49:30Especially people to support family members.
00:49:31And there is it.
00:49:32It's just a great moment.
00:49:33What are you doing?
00:49:34You teach us?
00:49:36Oh, she's got it in a bitch after you.
00:49:46You hurt her, and you get nothing from me.
00:49:50And I know you want something from me.
00:49:52More than just my pain.
00:49:58You know what, Miss Muffet?
00:50:00You've officially gotten annoying.
00:50:06Erin and I are overdue for a private chat.
00:50:10And you have officially lost your fly-on-the-wall privileges.
00:50:20FYI, your personal hostage survival rate is dropping!
00:50:25You're insane!
00:50:31You're insane!
00:50:32That's what everyone says in the face of a little ambition.
00:50:42Maybe I should go find her.
00:50:45No.
00:50:46This is a mother's duty.
00:50:50Affairs of the heart are complicated.
00:50:59Leah!
00:50:59Leah!
00:51:02Please, we can talk about that I was troubling you.
00:51:09Leah!
00:51:19Brandon!
00:51:19Please, please, please.
00:51:32Don't come any closer.
00:51:34I'm armed.
00:51:38Is that any way to greet your rescuer?
00:51:42Stop struggling.
00:51:43I don't want to cut you, okay?
00:51:44I'm not going anywhere without Erin.
00:51:45That's not an option.
00:51:47Whether you walk out on your own two feet, I carry you out.
00:51:51It's up to you.
00:51:53Look, you are the hope of our people.
00:51:57It's my duty to protect you.
00:51:58I can't do that if you're off chasing gangsters and kidnappers without a plan.
00:52:02That doesn't matter.
00:52:03I can't just leave him here.
00:52:05Well, from what I know of Erin, he would not want you putting yourself in harm's way for his sake.
00:52:15Also, your mother is worried sick about you.
00:52:19She finally found her long-lost daughter, the last living member of her family,
00:52:23in your kidnap moments after reuniting.
00:52:25I wish nightmares are coming true.
00:52:29Fine.
00:52:31But I am coming back for Erin.
00:52:34I expect nothing less, your highness.
00:52:36Oh, someone's looking a little less lost.
00:52:54You want me to abdicate his major journal in my house?
00:52:59And?
00:53:01And you want me to hand it over to you?
00:53:03See?
00:53:04Was that so hard?
00:53:09I am so sorry we couldn't get to you sooner,
00:53:12but since your father died, my contacts in Rue's will have become scattered and limited.
00:53:16I'll be fine, but we need to...
00:53:18Oh, thankfully, I still have a few people I can trust.
00:53:21You've already met my driver, Alexei,
00:53:25and my valet, Ivan,
00:53:27and my dog, Walker, Boris.
00:53:29And, of course, Sir Brendan remains the most loyal and dedicated son of Lysagor.
00:53:36It's my honor to serve.
00:53:39Unfortunately, I'm just one man.
00:53:42Okay, enough.
00:53:43I can't sit here while Erin is in danger.
00:53:45Now, are you going to help me or not?
00:53:47It's going to take time.
00:53:54We don't have time.
00:53:56Erin is always there for me, and now he needs me.
00:53:59I have to go.
00:54:01Of course, I wouldn't think of standing in your vape,
00:54:04but the fact remains,
00:54:06I have no more resources to give you.
00:54:09You have given me all I need.
00:54:11I have my own resources now.
00:54:14Ruben?
00:54:21You are my last blood relative, so I could install you,
00:54:24but no other Major General is going to want to cooperate with you.
00:54:28Oh, I've got plans for that.
00:54:30I've got quite good at making plans.
00:54:32How do you like my little empire, by the way?
00:54:34It's a drug ring.
00:54:36It's the start of a kingdom,
00:54:37and one that would run much smoother
00:54:40if it wasn't forced to operate in the shadows,
00:54:42doubling as a local Major General
00:54:44could make that happen.
00:54:47And I intend to use the damn position
00:54:49to make a lot of things happen.
00:54:53Unlike you, sitting on your arse
00:54:55while your underlings do their sad little attempts at a bust.
00:55:00Or should I say, topping up.
00:55:03What?
00:55:03Oh, yes, guys.
00:55:05I do know your dirtiest little secret.
00:55:09I should.
00:55:10I helped make it happen.
00:55:22You son of a bitch!
00:55:24Our mothers are not fair game, Aaron.
00:55:27You set that rule when we were eight.
00:55:30Remember?
00:55:30It was you.
00:55:34It was Stella, but yes, it was me too.
00:55:37And it was a lot of fun to watch.
00:55:40General Shelley's daughter exploited the whole aftermath.
00:55:44I just kept tabs.
00:55:47And you defended Stella, didn't you?
00:55:49Dutiful as ever.
00:55:52Of course you did.
00:55:54Ha!
00:55:55Damn!
00:55:56But if I could be a fly on that wall,
00:55:58watching you tell the girl who's in love with you
00:56:01that she has to take that bitch's shit.
00:56:05And after, you sought her out for the most vital ride of her life.
00:56:11Leah's not in love with me.
00:56:13Oh.
00:56:14You always were dense about the suffering of others.
00:56:17That's okay.
00:56:23I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:29I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:32I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:57:02You know, your little miss had me worried for a moment
00:57:08that I brought a bad badge across the border with me.
00:57:11She seemed to take forever to experience the side effects.
00:57:15Luckily, she was a fluke.
00:57:24Cut them loose, boys.
00:57:26Here.
00:57:27Cut!
00:57:40Cut!
00:57:41Cut!
00:57:46Cut!
00:57:47Cut!
00:57:48Cut!
00:57:49Freeze!
00:58:03Should we fight them? Are we being paid enough to fight them?
00:58:07No.
00:58:19Aaron! Aaron! How's she? Leah!
00:58:27Safe. She's safe, man.
00:58:36Come on, let's get you moved.
00:58:42Patience.
00:58:44Patience?
00:58:46Aaron could be in there dying and we're just sitting here watching and waiting.
00:58:49I feel utterly useless.
00:58:51By watching, we keep our people from being surrounded.
00:58:54Besides, you're the one who decided to call in Reuben.
00:58:57You agreed to follow his orders.
00:58:59Wait, I think I see something.
00:59:01Over there.
00:59:02I can't be certain, but it kind of looks like...
00:59:09What was that for?
00:59:11Shhh!
00:59:12You don't want him to see us.
00:59:14We can't let that bastard get away!
00:59:18I'm not.
00:59:19You're staying here where it's safe.
00:59:23Fine, but I'm doing this under protest.
00:59:26Protest, no.
00:59:28Now, stay here.
00:59:2997, 98, 99, 100.
00:59:43Oh!
00:59:52Aaron! Thank God!
00:59:53His skin is hypersensitive right now.
00:59:56And it's only going to get worse.
00:59:58I'm doing what I can to fix the wounds right now.
01:00:01Aaron?
01:00:06Oh, you shouldn't have come.
01:00:09Oh, sweet girl.
01:00:10He's not making any sense.
01:00:11What's going on?
01:00:13I think you know.
01:00:14I think you know.
01:00:17As matters.
01:00:20Aaron doesn't have any special antibodies.
01:00:22That is correct.
01:00:24So...
01:00:25What do we do?
01:00:26How can we...
01:00:27There's no cure.
01:00:28We can only mitigate symptoms.
01:00:29How?
01:00:31I think you know that too.
01:00:34Um...
01:00:35Is there somebody we should call?
01:00:46You.
01:00:49I want it to be you.
01:00:51Only you.
01:00:54Let's clear you guys out of this room.
01:02:10I almost had them.
01:02:12You're welcome.
01:02:22Well, with my ability to chase suspects and your ability to open doors, maybe we can pave the way for better international relations.
01:02:31Maybe. If you'd stop playing on Leah.
01:02:34Maybe. If she asked me to.
01:02:37So, where is she?
01:02:40With Aaron.
01:02:41With Aaron.
01:02:53It's inferior to Lizagor tea, you know.
01:02:56Don't make me open a door on you two.
01:02:58How are you feeling?
01:03:15Better.
01:03:16Thanks, Delia.
01:03:18Good.
01:03:20But I still need to get you checked out.
01:03:23I called the doctor and she's gonna meet you at home when you arrive.
01:03:26Um, I'll be right back.
01:03:29You love him.
01:03:32I do.
01:03:33And I wish you the best.
01:03:35It's been an honor serving you both.
01:03:38So, what happens now?
01:03:39Well, Lady Tiffany has decided to remain in Rozeal with you and placing her safety in the hands of your Major General.
01:03:52But, what about you?
01:03:55I'll see what good I can do in Lizagor.
01:03:57You may be in chaos now, but I'll always remain loyal to the Royal Family.
01:04:04Thank you for everything you've done for me and for my family.
01:04:08Goodbye, Princess.
01:04:18Princess, should I be worried?
01:04:20It's a long story.
01:04:22I'll tell you about it when we get home.
01:04:24Okay.
01:04:25But, before there's any other misunderstandings, I want to make something clear.
01:04:29About what?
01:04:30Yeah.
01:04:32I love you.
01:04:35I know that might seem sudden, but it's not.
01:04:40Look, over everything we've been through the last few weeks, I just...
01:04:43I just want to ensure that there are not any misunderstandings.
01:04:46Because...
01:04:50I'm so in love with you.
01:04:52And I have been.
01:04:54For a long time.
01:04:57I want you to know.
01:04:59I want everyone to know that.
01:05:05Yeah.
01:05:06Please, say something.
01:05:07I love you.
01:05:11I love you too.
01:05:14In that case...
01:05:16Shall we let the world know?
01:05:26Leah Jenkins?
01:05:28Will you marry me?
01:05:29Yes.
01:05:30Yes.
01:05:31Yes.
01:05:32Oh my God.
01:06:02High General.
01:06:03I didn't realize I'd be seeing you in person today.
01:06:06The situation called for it, Lieutenant.
01:06:08You and the Major General have cause to be proud.
01:06:11Thank you, sir.
01:06:15Major General Aaron Harold, I am here on behalf of Ruat Seal itself to congratulate you on completing your mission and ensuring the safety of our people.
01:06:24The honor is mine, High General Shane.
01:06:26When you first undertook this task, I conferred with my fellow elders.
01:06:30We had faith in your success and thus already had in mind the next mission that we wish to offer you.
01:06:41We have an undercover mission overseas.
01:06:45We need someone who is truly capable to investigate a colony in Ithbeck.
01:06:48Hi, General.
01:06:50I thank you.
01:06:52I do.
01:06:54But I already know I cannot accept.
01:06:56You can't?
01:07:01An undercover mission to Ithbeck would interfere with planning my wedding.
01:07:06Your...
01:07:10Oh, I see.
01:07:12The utmost congratulations to you, Major General.
01:07:14May you both flourish.
01:07:18And...
01:07:21...
01:07:24Gonna have to sucker someone else into it I suppose.
01:07:26I'm gonna have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
