00:00You really went to the Undercity to get these?
00:30Weren't you afraid?
00:31A little danger is worth the risk, don't you think?
00:35Careful, that's your parents' money you're dropping.
00:43Hello?
00:44Is someone in there?
00:48Hey, open up!
01:00Open up!
01:01Open up!
01:01Open up!
01:03Open up!
01:04Wow
01:06!
01:09James?
01:11James?
01:11You're all right.
01:12You're all right.
01:13You're all right.
01:18Jason?
01:21Jason!
01:35Mom!
01:37Mom, what's up?
01:41Mom!
01:43Help!
01:45Please!
01:46Someone help us!
01:48Help!
01:49Please!
02:11No!
02:12Wait, wait!
02:41I need to get off.
02:42I need to get up.
02:43I need to know you.
02:44They are all right.
02:46I need to know you.
02:48Oh, God!
02:50No.
02:51I need to know you very well.
02:52Bye.
02:59Yes.
03:00How?
03:30I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows for my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground.
03:57I'm searching to behold the stories that I told.
04:01My back is to the world that we're smiling when I turn.
04:04Tell me you're the greatest.
04:10But once you turn, they hate us.
04:17Oh, the misery.
04:19Everybody wants to be my enemy.
04:23Swear the sympathy.
04:25Everybody wants to be my enemy.
04:29Oh, yeah, I swear I'll never be the same.
04:32No way.
04:34My enemy.
04:35Oh, yeah, I swear I'll never be the same.
04:39Look out, pizza!
04:40Let's go over it again.
04:47You have to believe me.
04:48I didn't do this.
04:50Relax, kid.
04:51We know it was a break-in, but that doesn't explain this.
04:55There's a lot of restricted items here, and I don't see any permits.
04:59You want to tell me how you got them?
05:00Hey, hey, be careful with that, please.
05:03I believe someone should have said that earlier.
05:05What happened here?
05:10Science, I guess.
05:12Last time I checked, science didn't require illegal equipment.
05:16Nor was this approved by the Academy.
05:18Who authorized your research?
05:21It was an independent study.
05:23Who are you, anyway?
05:24I'm assistant to the dean of the Academy.
05:26Who it may serve you to remember is also head of the council.
05:29He sent me here to ensure that anything dangerous is removed safely.
05:34Which, according to my list, includes you.
05:38What?
05:39How am I dangerous?
05:40That's for the council to decide.
05:59Imprisonment.
06:13What a curious principle.
06:15We can find the physical body, yet the mind is still free.
06:19I do love a good conundrum.
06:22I remember the first time I saw you at the Academy.
06:25You reminded me of myself, a scientist, ready to forge a new vector of experimentation.
06:32But sometimes, we venture too far.
06:36No great science should ever put lives in danger.
06:40Be honest now.
06:41What manner of inquiry was this?
06:44Professor Heimerdinger, I believe I've discovered something truly incredible.
06:49A way to harness magic through science.
06:51Magic?
06:52Yes.
06:53No.
06:54No?
06:55The arcane is dangerous, Jace.
06:57A force of nature.
06:59Science cannot control it.
07:01But maybe it can.
07:03I'm close to a breakthrough, I know it.
07:06How old are you, my boy?
07:08I'm...
07:09I'm 24.
07:11Ah.
07:12What?
07:12I am now 307 years old.
07:15All my life I've pursued the mysteries of science.
07:18Only to discover some are better left unsolved.
07:23This, I'm afraid, is one of them.
07:26Own your mistakes before the council.
07:28Admit your work was dangerous.
07:30But speak nothing of magic.
07:34Do that, and I theorize you'll get away with, um, how do you say, a slap on the wrist.
07:39Remind me why we bother with this dump.
08:05Vander said to lay low
08:09Enforcers never come down here
08:10So this is as good a place as any
08:12What's the matter, Milo?
08:14You worried Powder's gonna beat you again?
08:16Hey, if she didn't keep fixing these things
08:18I wouldn't keep missing
08:19You guys know I wouldn't take you on a job
08:32You couldn't handle, right?
08:34Are you kidding?
08:35That was the best job we've ever done
08:36Maybe just don't take Powder next time
08:40Get back
09:04Tell me where I can find them
09:07Tough side of business ain't my concern
09:09It's every one of you trenches concern now
09:11Give me a name
09:13Hey, guys, you should see this
09:23Search them
09:35Go ahead, idiots
09:42We got nothing
09:43Stop!
10:01Stop!
10:08Get him!
10:19Come on!
10:27Get him!
10:31Over here!
10:51You need to hide those crystals.
10:52Yeah, no shit.
10:55House Pharos received your letter. They insist business is steady.
11:00Steady is stagnant, Allura.
11:02They wished me to remind you that it's thanks to their innovations that you are the richest person in Piltover.
11:07Yet I remain the poorest, Medarda.
11:10Excellent choice, Counselor Medarda. A supreme challenge, if any.
11:15We need something revolutionary, Allura. Something to put Piltover on the map.
11:21What of today's trial?
11:24His name is Jace of House Talis.
11:26A house? Remind me.
11:28They're toolmakers. I believe they came to renown for their design of the collapsible pocket wrench.
11:35But Heimerdinger favors him?
11:36As far as I can tell.
11:40This one.
11:41That's... Well, that's a child's toy.
11:46Good.
11:51The boy's got ambition. It's why we supported him in the first place.
11:55Ambition? Darling, he nearly blew up our daughter.
11:58Jace had nothing to do with that. He was robbed.
12:01We need to help him.
12:02Caitlin's right. We've known Jace for years.
12:05Besides, we're his patrons.
12:06If anyone is meant to speak up for him, it's us.
12:11We should hit them back.
12:12We've got the numbers to beat them.
12:14Yeah, let's teach them what it means to mess with us!
12:25You sure that's what you want?
12:27Just do it!
12:28We crossed that bridge once before.
12:30We all know how that ended.
12:32You're just protecting your kids!
12:35I'm protecting our people.
12:37I'll do the same for any one of you.
12:40We look out for each other. It's the way it's always been.
12:44This will blow over.
12:45We just need to stand together.
12:48The bander I knew, the one who built the underground,
12:51wouldn't be afraid to fight.
12:58Do I look afraid?
13:00No.
13:02You look weak.
13:08Why isn't it doing anything?
13:10We kicked the Enforcers' butts with just the four of us.
13:13Imagine what the whole of the lanes could do!
13:15Jeez, even Powder wants to fight.
13:17So why aren't we?
13:28Spill it, Echo.
13:30Okay, well...
13:32Vander's gotta deal with the Enforcers.
13:35What deal?
13:55For your birthday, Counselor.
13:57Ah, Mel. This is too kind.
13:59I'm told it was built only for the sharpest of minds.
14:04And I bought you some Gingonuts.
14:07Ah! Don't you know I'm allergic?
14:08What are you trying to do, kill an old man?!
14:29What are you trying to do?
14:30What are you trying to do?
14:44Jace Tallis.
14:48You are accused of illegal experimentation,
14:51and endangering the citizens of Piltover.
14:54What do you have to say for yourself?
14:56The materials were far more dangerous than I was aware of.
15:01The materials were far more dangerous than I was aware of.
15:05And I now know my actions were against Academy regulations.
15:10What I did endangered people.
15:12It was reckless, and for that I'm sorry.
15:15I ask the Council's forgiveness,
15:17and I hope that I can continue my studies.
15:20As Jace's patron of many years, I can speak for his character.
15:23I believe that one day, he will be a great contributor to our society.
15:28He destroyed a building!
15:30Is this the sort of contribution we can expect?
15:33If you were a scientist, you'd know you can't make a prototype without breaking a few wrenches!
15:39Do you have anything to show for your work besides an explosion?
15:42Uh, no. It came to nothing.
15:44So you're saying your study was meaningless?
15:47It was revolutionary.
15:49Revolutionary how?
15:51All I see is a boy meddling with things he doesn't understand.
15:54The Academy seems to have loosened its standards.
15:57This is a fine line. If we condone this, what's next?
16:00Ridiculous, really.
16:01The Council has more information.
16:03Why is the Academy finished?
16:05I was trying to create magic.
16:07Magic!
16:08Arcane talents are something you're born with.
16:18They can't be... fabricated.
16:20Actually, I believe it is possible.
16:23Has anyone even tried it before?
16:28The Arcane is the curse of our world.
16:31My race was nearly destroyed by it.
16:33Surely we, the pioneers of science, can use it for good.
16:37We're the champions of discovery. Why fear it when we can master it?
16:41Jace, enough.
16:42This is the city of progress.
16:44Think of the wonders we could create. Let me prove...
16:47Enough!
16:49You don't understand what's at stake.
16:52But how can you?
16:54That's a burden that only I here carry.
16:58Time.
16:59I've seen this power in the wrong hands.
17:05It corrupts.
17:07Consumes.
17:09Lays waste to civilizations.
17:13That cannot happen here, my boy.
17:16It must not.
17:18Heimerdinger is right.
17:20Piltover was founded to escape the warmongering of mages.
17:24Not cultivated.
17:26The ethos is clear.
17:28He must be banished from Piltover.
17:33Please let me speak!
17:39As a lower house, my voice doesn't carry much weight here.
17:43But as a mother, I have a voice that matters deeply.
17:47My son isn't in his right mind.
17:49His entire life, he's chased an impossible dream.
17:54What he did was foolish and unwise.
17:59But he has a good heart.
18:01Please, let him come home.
18:04A crime like this can't be overlooked.
18:06The boy must be punished.
18:07A violation of the ethos calls for banishment.
18:12But I can sympathize with a young man's dream to change the world.
18:16Perhaps in this matter, a lesser sentence may suffice.
18:20I move that Jace be summarily expelled from the Academy and remanded to the care of his parents.
18:26All those in favor?
18:29You may take your son home, Mrs. Tallis, but he is never to set foot on Academy grounds again.
18:50You may drop me grounds again.
19:20First time I've been invited to the Lanes. It better be worth my time.
19:30You see, that's your weakness, Marcus. You carry your chin so high you fail to see the opportunity below.
19:37Who are you?
19:39You're looking for four children. The ones running circles around Piltover's finest.
19:44And what about it?
19:45You don't look so concerned. I'm about to make your day.
20:02Can I come in?
20:09I still remember the look on your face when you found these.
20:15Jace, please. If I hadn't spoken, you'd be lost to me.
20:23I had to say something.
20:25Magic saved your life.
20:28Yes. But it won't save yours now. You need to let it go.
20:34I could have convinced the council.
20:36If my own family won't help me, I'll find someone who will.
20:40Oh, that foolish boy.
20:54I must admit, his theory intrigues.
20:57If dangerous ideas didn't excite the imagination, we would never wander astray.
21:01Could it work? Could these stones really invoke magic?
21:06Nonsense. It's far too unstable.
21:09Could you stabilize it?
21:11Me? Why would I?
21:13That only leads to more problems.
21:15And that poor boy has enough of them already.
21:18There. Come tomorrow morning, his research will be safely disposed of.
21:22Lock up.
21:25No, no, no. Magic is far too dangerous in the wrong...
21:29Will he live?
21:36Long enough.
21:37Beautiful, aren't they?
21:51Yet, up there, on the surface, no one even knows they exist.
21:58They're monsters.
22:03There's a monster inside all of us.
22:05What?
22:07No.
22:09No, no, it'll kill me.
22:14I'd like to let you in on a very important secret I learned when I was about your age, boy.
22:20You see, power, real power, doesn't come to those who were born strongest, or fastest, or smartest.
22:30Now, it comes to those who will do anything to achieve it.
22:40It's time to let the monster out.
22:42I will make the monster out there.
23:00I'm sorry.
23:01It doesn't make me look up.
23:05Union horse.
23:05Yelp!
23:06Yelp!
23:08Yelp!
23:09They won't see you.
23:32Your name's no good now.
23:35My dad says you're a misfit.
23:36And that we can't be friends anymore.
23:40So why are you out here?
23:43I'm a misfit too, I suppose.
23:47What will you do?
23:50Join the Talus Hammer business, I guess.
23:53You can't do that.
23:55No, I can't.
24:00Come inside, Caitlin.
24:02Now.
24:06I'm sorry.
24:13I just wanted to explain-
24:14I think you've done enough.
24:15You said this was a robbery.
24:24Did they take anything dangerous?
24:26Hard to say.
24:27We don't exactly know what we did find, let alone what we didn't.
24:31This mention of magic has the people afraid.
24:34The culprits must be apprehended.
24:37We're doing our best, Counselor.
24:39I assure you.
24:40Your attitude makes me question if your best is up to the task.
24:44We'll find them.
24:45Don't worry.
24:46We've conducted exhaustive interrogations.
24:48Frozen commerce for half the district.
24:50With all due respect, Counselor,
24:52don't you think we've pushed them hard enough?
24:55We're going to do whatever it takes.
24:57Turn the Undercity upside down if you have to.
25:00Just find them.
25:01Welcome to the last drop.
25:24What can I get you?
25:26Four sump rats will do.
25:29Search the place.
25:31While you're wasting your time,
25:37how about proper drink?
25:38I'll take the strongest shit you got.
26:01One.
26:12One.
26:13Two.
26:22Two.
26:22Two.
26:23One.
26:24Four.
26:24Four.
26:25Three.
26:26Four.
26:27Four.
26:29Four.
26:30Hmm, you be careful with that.
26:44Nearly forgot.
26:46I ran into an old friend of yours.
26:48He had some stories.
26:50You weren't always the peacekeeper, were you?
27:05Yeah, well, you can't escape the past, right?
27:10It'd be a shame if I had to put them on again.
27:14Cast irons, well, it's hard to clean.
27:20Let's go.
27:50You people down here are all the same.
28:13Mistaking arrogance for bravery.
28:16You think you're standing up for something?
28:19But we all know there is a crime behind every coin that passes through this place.
28:26You're just a small man in a little hole the world forgot to bury.
28:30And I'm going to bury the lot of you.
28:39You all okay?
28:48No, we're not okay.
28:52They almost saw Powder.
28:53What if they took her?
28:54No one is taking any of you.
28:56Never let that happen.
28:57It's already happening.
28:59You hurt him.
29:00They won't stop.
29:01We need to fight back.
29:02And if you won't, I will.
29:10I've heard this kind of talk before.
29:12Why are we here?
29:42You still don't understand?
29:45What I don't understand is how you can work with them.
29:50We were here.
29:51We saw what they did.
29:52I grew up knowing I'm less than them.
29:57That my place is down there.
29:59I want Powder to have more than that, and I'm willing to fight for it.
30:04So was I.
30:07I was angry, just like you.
30:11I led us across this bridge, thinking things could change.
30:15If I hadn't, your parents would still be alive.
30:23I know you want to hurt the Top Siders for what they've done to us.
30:27But who are you willing to lose?
30:30Milo?
30:31Clagger?
30:33Powder.
30:34Nobody wins in war, Vi.
30:51What are we going to do?
30:52The Enforcers will come back.
30:57I...
30:58I don't know.
31:00I'll, uh...
31:01I'll figure it out.
31:02The Enforcer, the Enforcers...
31:30I'll be on that list.
31:30Nice.
31:32Am I interrupting?
31:58The hell's your problem?
32:00What's that?
32:02Another list with my name on it?
32:04Actually, yes.
32:05But only because you signed your notes.
32:08Every page, I might add.
32:10A little egotistical, don't you think?
32:13Is that why you came?
32:14To insult me?
32:17No.
32:18No, I was intrigued by what you said at the trial.
32:22That makes you the only one.
32:23Yes, well, I wanted to talk about your work.
32:26This Hextech theory of yours.
32:29It's not a theory.
32:30I saw with my own eyes what magic can do.
32:33The lives it could save.
32:36You've no idea how beautiful it is.
32:40And now it's gone.
32:42No one believed me.
32:45Nobody's ever believed in me.
32:48Poor cripple from the undercity.
32:50I was an outsider the moment I stepped foot in Piltover.
32:55I didn't have the benefits of a patron or a name.
33:00I simply believed in myself.
33:03Which is why I'm here.
33:05Because I think you're onto something.
33:07I want to help you complete your research.
33:11No one thinks it can be done.
33:14When you're going to change the world,
33:16don't ask for permission.
33:18I don't even know your name.
33:36It's Victor.
33:36Vi, where you been?
33:46Rumor is the lanes are going to fight.
33:54Look, I made it for the enforcers.
33:57These are smoke bombs,
33:58and those two are full of nails.
34:01They're going to work this time.
34:03I know it.
34:03Me too.
34:14You know, Powder,
34:16what makes you different makes you strong.
34:19Always remember that, okay?
34:29What the hell were you thinking?
34:31Going into the last drop.
34:33Do you have any idea what you've done?
34:35I was getting results.
34:37You heard the council.
34:38You're a fool.
34:39There is no stopping what happens now.
34:47Maybe it's not too late.
34:49You're a fool.
34:53You're a fool.
34:54You're a fool.
34:55You're a fool.
34:56There's a girl in town, and words gone around, she's just fine.
35:09So I don't worry, I don't worry, I don't worry, I don't worry, I don't worry, I don't worry, I don't worry.
35:20She's just fine.
35:24So I don't worry my head, cause I know her heart is tied to mine.
35:30Ooh, like someday I pray our love will always stay pure.
35:40Ooh, while the world turns around, he holds me down for sure.
35:49Well, is a bubbling fountain that flows into the sea, deeper than any ocean for eternity.
36:09And after all, the rain will fall, let's continue the truth.
36:19But I'll keep moving on, proud and strong with you.
36:27Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
36:35All of our love is a bubbling fountain that flows into the sea, deeper than any ocean for eternity.
