Short filmTranscript
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,
00:00:47I didn't know how much.
00:00:49As I carried him,
00:00:51so he would carry me through so much.
00:00:55This is only where it begins.
00:00:58Leah?
00:00:59Hi, Aaron.
00:01:00Where have you been?
00:01:02Where have you been?
00:01:04Getting shot in all sorts of weird places?
00:01:08I've been installed as Major General in my house.
00:01:13I'm Authority Sector now.
00:01:16Sometimes that means taking some hits.
00:01:18Well, I would say congratulations,
00:01:20but I know you only probably got the position early
00:01:23because your father's health failed, so...
00:01:26Yeah.
00:01:27He's gone.
00:01:28Lester heard your parents were dead, too.
00:01:30And your aunt and uncle were taking you in?
00:01:33Well, since I'm adopted,
00:01:36my aunt and uncle didn't even see me as my parents' kid, so...
00:01:38Come home with me.
00:01:40What?
00:01:42Going 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.
00:02:08New 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,
00:02:26you 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.
00:02:48Uh, none for me, thanks.
00:02:52Brendan!
00:02:53Hi!
00:02:55Leah.
00:02:56Fancy seeing you outside the classroom again.
00:02:58You're not spying on me, are you?
00:03:01No, I'm not.
00:03:02I promise.
00:03:03And 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.
00:03:23So, who's the hottie?
00:03:25Your boy?
00:03:26Oh, that's just Brendan.
00:03:28He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:30Mmm.
00:03:31I think he likes you.
00:03:33You should show him your appreciation for all of his hard work.
00:03:36Stella!
00:03:37Here's to being appreciated.
00:03:39For all our hard work.
00:03:40Um.
00:03:41Will you excuse me?
00:03:42I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:43Mm-hmm.
00:03:44The restroom.
00:03:45Right.
00:03:46Have fun.
00:03:47Oh!
00:03:48No, I don't know.
00:03:49No, no!
00:03:50No, no, I don't know.
00:03:51Hi.
00:03:52Do you see?
00:03:53Yeah.
00:03:54Hi!
00:03:55Oh, no, no.
00:03:56I don't know why I am here.
00:03:57No, no, no!
00:03:58I am here.
00:03:59I don't know.
00:04:00I don't know why I am here.
00:04:01Yeah.
00:04:02There's a lot of people.
00:04:03You can see.
00:04:04I don't know why I am here.
00:04:05Right.
00:04:06Um, will you excuse me?
00:04:07I just need to go to the restroom.
00:04:09Mm-hmm.
00:04:10What's the situation report?
00:04:33We 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
00:04:40the chemical composition, which determined it's a class 7.
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.
00:05:01It raises libido, lowers inhibition, causes memory loss, and induces a potentially fatal
00:05:06brain fever in the victim.
00:05:08It also increases the sensitivity of the nerve receptors, causing intense sensations of pain
00:05:13and pleasure.
00:05:33So how does it work?
00:05:35You can't tell what's wrong at first.
00:05:38After all, starving is very different from just being a little hungry.
00:05:44And if you suddenly become a bottomless little pit of need, you might just jump anything with
00:05:51a pulse to see if it fills you.
00:05:55So pretty.
00:05:57We 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.
00:06:06Are you certain?
00:06:09As certain as I can be, without a blood test.
00:06:12Alright.
00:06:14You said the drug causes a potentially fatal brain fever?
00:06:16Look, if a doctor can't help her, then who can?
00:06:19What's the cure?
00:06:22There is no cure.
00:06:23No antidote.
00:06:24We can only mitigate these symptoms.
00:06:28Mitigate how?
00:06:31The only known treatment is skin contact.
00:06:34Lots of skin contact.
00:06:40I don't know if she's seen anyone.
00:06:42We haven't talked about her love life in over a year.
00:06:45I have a suggestion.
00:06:47Look, it can't just be anyone.
00:06:51She's too precious.
00:06:52It has to be someone that she loves.
00:06:54You.
00:06:55I want it to be you.
00:06:58Only you.
00:07:02Are you certain?
00:07:08Help me.
00:07:11Do you know what this means?
00:07:13Yes.
00:07:15I'll be outside if you need it.
00:07:20I'll be outside if you need it.
00:07:45I'm bored.
00:07:57Don't worry.
00:07:58I got just the thing.
00:07:59This has all the benefits and none of the drawbacks.
00:08:04Don't even throw it in for free.
00:08:05Ooh.
00:08:18Hey.
00:08:19You wanna help me ride through this trip?
00:08:21Sorry.
00:08:22I don't offer those services.
00:08:24You smell just like him.
00:08:29I've got places to go, but I do have a couple of friends who are more than willing to help
00:08:35you out.
00:08:36For a price.
00:08:37Friends.
00:08:38Plural.
00:08:39Yes, please.
00:08:41It was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:08:55Last night, the authority sector proceeded with a drug bust at a bar in the East End.
00:09:14Excuse me.
00:09:15They report that while their seizure of the drugs was successful, the leader of the ring
00:09:19remains at large.
00:09:20His true name still a mystery.
00:09:23One of the people arrested at the scene is the daughter of a recently fallen major general.
00:09:28University student Stella Shelley remains held for questioning.
00:09:33What?
00:09:34How dare they, Gary?
00:09:37Aaron better not have anything to do with this.
00:09:44I'm afraid that Major General Aaron Harold was in charge of the Raid Mom.
00:09:49It appears that Miss Stella is being held in the same facility as last time.
00:09:53Call the lawyers.
00:09:55Yeah, thanks for the update.
00:09:59And send Leah my love, uh, let her know.
00:10:02I will call and check on her.
00:10:03Later.
00:10:16Mrs. Shelley, what may I do for you?
00:10:19You can begin by explaining why you had my daughter arrested.
00:10:22Especially after you promised my husband that you'd take care of us.
00:10:26You know I can't comment on ongoing authority sector investigations.
00:10:30At the time of the arrest, I was unaware of Stella's presence at the site.
00:10:35Be that as it may, you could have done something to prevent her name from being released to
00:10:39the press.
00:10:40Do you know how I felt hearing about my daughter's arrest?
00:10:43Like she was a common criminal?
00:10:45It was an embarrassment.
00:10:46I'm sure it isn't Aaron's fault.
00:10:49I know.
00:10:50I put myself in a vulnerable situation.
00:10:53Sometimes I just get so upset about Eddie's death.
00:10:58I just...
00:10:59I miss him so much.
00:11:02I'll see what I can do.
00:11:04Very well then.
00:11:08In the meantime, you must come to lunch at our place.
00:11:11Just to show we've put this shameful business behind us.
00:11:15Certainly.
00:11:16What happened?
00:11:30You were right, Ms. Jenkins.
00:11:32You had a very harsh encounter with a class 7 drug.
00:11:35We just got the blood test result back.
00:11:38When we got the result back, we also found some antibodies that's fighting the after effect
00:11:44of the drug.
00:11:52Lucky new.
00:11:53Lucky?
00:11:54Yes.
00:11:57Most people would need to be held for observation for weeks, but you're almost good as new.
00:12:01I am?
00:12:02Yes.
00:12:03I actually did a paper on this condition back in school.
00:12:06There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:12:10There's the monks of Ithbac, the old ostocracy of Lissagor, and the nudist colony.
00:12:15In...
00:12:16If you're done with your examination, I'll sit the two of you up.
00:12:21Anything for the Major General.
00:12:22Anything for the Major General.
00:12:23Any?
00:12:24Anything for the Major General.
00:12:29ĐżĐŸŃĐŒĐŸŃŃĐ”ŃŃ up that thing?
00:12:31Global General.
00:12:32Big Show.
00:12:33Big Show!
00:12:34Big Show!
00:12:35Big Show!

00:12:45Big Show!
00:12:46Okay, I remember going to find you guys, and I remember asking him something, but I want to know what-
00:12:54We seized the contraband, but we failed to ID the ringleader. We know he got away-
00:13:00Wasn't what I was asking! I mean, it was, but it's not what I want to know first.
00:13:07I know. But you were in trouble, and we were short on time. Aaron did what he had to do.
00:13:17Hey, we never have to talk about this again.
00:13:24Don't we?
00:13:37What are you doing?
00:13:41I wanted to talk to you after class.
00:13:43What, so you can criticize me about how I'm not taking my studies seriously enough?
00:13:46Yeah, no thanks.
00:13:47You actually made some good points in your paper. You just, you didn't go far enough.
00:13:50You didn't cover half the required topics, and between that and the grammar,
00:13:53I just couldn't give you a better grade. Professor Olson hasn't looked at the grades yet.
00:13:57I could temporarily lose your paper for a couple of days and give you the opportunity to rewrite it.
00:14:04Really? Thank you so much. I'm going to get started right away.
00:14:12Hey. Tough teachers are a bummer.
00:14:16Oh, that, that was entirely my fault.
00:14:19Oh, really? Well, Aaron recently helped me out with a difficult situation. It's just a pity that
00:14:25he can't even exert a little influence to help you when some professor is giving you a hard time.
00:14:30It's not fair. But you know, it strikes me, I don't know you as well as I ought. After all,
00:14:38you are Aaron's family, and who knows what the future holds. So, in order for bygones to be bygones,
00:14:46I 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
00:14:53house in, say, an hour? Honestly, we're good. So ungrateful. Stuck up bitch.
00:15:06How's two or three sound? Oh, perfect. Toodles.
00:15:23So good of you to wait for me. I didn't think you were still coming. I would never break my word.
00:15:46Oh, poor thing. It appears my gift is more needed than I thought.
00:15:53Uh, thank you. I'm sorry. I really think you should go. I've got some homework to get back to.
00:16:00Oh, don't be ridiculous. I want to see how it fits.
00:16:03Aaron.
00:16:17Aaron.
00:16:18Stella. Didn't expect to see you here.
00:16:20I hope we're still on for lunch tomorrow.
00:16:22Yeah, that's fine.
00:16:23Awesome. We'll be all so excited to see you.
00:16:25Oh my god, what'd you do to it?
00:16:29No, it was already like this. I just came out to show you.
00:16:32If you didn't like it, you could just say so. Or just accept it and not wear it. Honestly.
00:16:38What? No, I... Excuse me.
00:16:41I thought Leah and I could take a day to bond. After all, she and I both went through something
00:16:49so terrible. But it's like, like she blames me or something, you know?
00:16:57But you would know better than that. Don't you, Aaron?
00:17:00Leah makes mistakes like anyone else. I'll please ask that you give her the benefit of the doubt.
00:17:05And you're going to tell her the same thing?
00:17:06Yes.
00:17:11Sorry, I have to go. We'll talk later.
00:17:22Yeah, um, we're just gonna go...
00:17:26Go do the thing.
00:17:27Yeah, because we had a thing to do later.
00:17:30And now it's later.
00:17:35I know I was short with you at my dad's funeral.
00:17:43It's okay.
00:17:46It's not. Daddy loved Aaron. He always knew that he'd become part of the family one day.
00:17:51I just didn't think he'd die before he got the chance to see it happen. And I understand that
00:17:57Aaron needs some time to grieve before he and I can really become an us.
00:18:01You and Aaron.
00:18:04Look, I get it. More than you know. He's taken such good care of you. And he's strong, powerful,
00:18:13not to mention his... everything.
00:18:15What are you talking about?
00:18:17For some of us, it's a babysitter. For others, it's a teacher. Or your mom's boy toy.
00:18:23Point is that we've all had inappropriate relationships.
00:18:27Inappropriate?
00:18:28I know I'm not that much older than you, so it can seem a little weird, but I can keep a secret.
00:18:33I am here to support you because you are Aaron's family. And I think he's gonna miss you once you're gone.
00:18:41When I'm... what?
00:18:48When I'm... what?
00:18:50Gone. At least, I assume you'll be able to go. That's every goal for serious university students,
00:18:58right? Go out in the world and work your own field.
00:19:01Yeah. I mean, I don't have any post-graduation plans yet.
00:19:06Okay. Well, my bad. I thought that D was a fluke. I just know that striking out on your own
00:19:14can be really important. And you're gonna need distance, especially if Aaron encouraged you.
00:19:21Oh, no. He's never...
00:19:23I didn't mean to imply that. No, of course not. He's Aaron.
00:19:27Yeah, right. No, I mean, he's always been like a, you know...
00:19:31Oh, breathe. It's okay.
00:19:34Like a brother. I know.
00:19:37And like, don't worry about the dress. I was mad about it before, but I'm not anymore.
00:20:04Is there something I should know about the lunch with you and Stella tomorrow?
00:20:14Uh, Mrs. Shelley invited me. She wasn't particularly happy about Stella's arrest,
00:20:20but I think the lunch is a chance to talk some things over.
00:20:22Well, her arrest was like five minutes long.
00:20:27This is Major General Shelley's family, Leah. He was dying when he asked me to take care of them.
00:20:35Going to lunch? That's like the least I can do.
00:20:38No. Yeah, I know that. But I also know that Stella was one of the last people I talked to before I
00:20:45started to feel that drug. But here's to being appreciated for all our hard work.
00:20:51Do you think she did it?
00:21:01I think it's possible.
00:21:02Are you certain?
00:21:03No.
00:21:08You weren't the only one under the influence of something that night. So was Stella.
00:21:13Granted, she might have taken it herself, and I can understand why she might not want to admit that,
00:21:19but she's not our primary suspect.
00:21:22Who is?
00:21:23That TA who's been following you around.
00:21:27Brendan Martin.
00:21:28What? Brendan?
00:21:34Brendan? Are you serious?
00:21:36Yeah. Take a look.
00:21:41Security footage has him at the scene right before the raid.
00:21:44Look, he's exiting. He's handling a lot of people's drinks.
00:21:48And then he talks to you. Barely a minute before you came to me.
00:21:52Uh, Brendan's not a criminal.
00:21:54His documentation has a lot of holes in it, Leah.
00:21:56Okay, well, that's what happens when you're a refugee from another country.
00:22:00Aren't you the one who told me that?
00:22:01Yes, but that's also what happens when you're a spy.
00:22:04Or, or, when you work for the biggest drug ring in Brazil.
00:22:08He does not work for a drug ring, and he wouldn't hurt me.
00:22:11How do you know that?
00:22:12Because he's my friend.
00:22:18I don't agree with you about Brendan,
00:22:21but I know you always have my best interests at heart, so.
00:22:24Always. I don't like when we fight like this.
00:22:29Me neither.
00:22:31Hey, do you remember when we used to have movie nights?
00:22:33Yeah, you hogged all the popcorn?
00:22:35I did not! But I will make the popcorn if you choose the movie.
00:22:40Stella, pour me some tea.
00:22:51Why?
00:22:53Gary has the day off. Also hand me the report behind you.
00:22:55Now, Aaron, I'm glad you've taken the steps to make things right with Stella in the authority
00:23:07sector business the other day.
00:23:09Mrs. Shelley, I'm really sorry about...
00:23:11You're sorry for our loss. Yes, I know.
00:23:13And you miss my husband, too. Joseph was always a workaholic, so as a fellow Major General,
00:23:22you knew him better than any of us.
00:23:23There's anything that I can do?
00:23:25Oh, there is. You promised to take care of Stella and to look after our family.
00:23:30Yes.
00:23:31I intend for you to honor that promise, especially since you slept with my daughter shortly before arresting her.
00:23:38What?
00:23:39Be quiet, Stella.
00:23:41Mrs. Shelley, I did not.
00:23:43I know a man of your position can never admit to such a thing out loud, but let us be clear on what I do know.
00:23:49Stella was quite loose-lipped when I picked her up from the facility.
00:23:53She smelled of, well, certain liberties, and she kept snipping at her sleeves.
00:23:59When I asked, she babbled on about a wild night and still having the smell of your cologne on her clothes.
00:24:05I know my daughter might not be so forthcoming at the moment, but she was in no shape to lie to me then.
00:24:12So, by all means, deny what you must, just so long as you make good on your promises.
00:24:24Come in.
00:24:26Here's my paper. Thank you for the second chance.
00:24:29Yeah. Have a seat. It looks better already.
00:24:34Did you learn anything interesting about Lizagla?
00:24:37It's like our professor said in class.
00:24:39There are always multiple reasons for conflict, but I just feel bad for the royal family.
00:24:46How so?
00:24:46It seems like they were governing responsibly and then out of nowhere, bam, civil war.
00:24:51They disappear.
00:24:55Wait, um, do you have any memories from before you were adopted?
00:25:00Who told you I was adopted?
00:25:03I can't really explain. Not here. It's not secure enough. I can show you. Come with me, please.
00:25:10I'm not going anywhere with you.
00:25:14Leah, it's important. Please. I don't mean you any harm. I just really need you to trust me.
00:25:24Please. Fine. But I'm not going to some secondary location with you. You can come to my house.
00:25:33Aaron will be there, so no funny business.
00:25:36All right. I'll see you in an hour.
00:25:54You got buried treasure in there?
00:26:03Of a sort. This is yours.
00:26:08What's in here?
00:26:12A bach.
00:26:24Mom!
00:26:40Nia, darling. We need to go now.
00:26:42What was that?
00:26:56What was that?
00:26:58Did that spark any memories?
00:27:01Uh, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:05Do you remember who gave you the doll?
00:27:09Your mother.
00:27:10My mother is dead.
00:27:13Why are you doing this?
00:27:15Leah.
00:27:16Please don't touch me.
00:27:19Touch her again and I'll kill you.
00:27:22How long have you been following us?
00:27:23Why did you give her the drugs?
00:27:25I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
00:27:28Get off me.
00:27:29Calm down, I'm fine.
00:27:31You didn't sound fine.
00:27:32I was upset, but not with him.
00:27:34At least, not enough for this.
00:27:37I invited him over.
00:27:39I don't need you to play knight in shining armor.
00:27:42I need you to leave.
00:27:44Now.
00:27:45We'll talk later.
00:27:49Alright.
00:27:53I don't want that man in my house.
00:27:55Okay, you know what?
00:27:56Last time I checked, this was my house too.
00:27:58He's been spying on you and he's working for the ring.
00:28:02Who told you that?
00:28:03Little Miss, I can do no wrong, Stella.
00:28:05Oh, leave her out of this.
00:28:06Why?
00:28:07What are you going to do?
00:28:08Marry her?
00:28:09What?
00:28:10No.
00:28:11Well, you might want to tell her that.
00:28:28Mama, where are you?
00:28:46Leah, darling.
00:28:49We need to go now.
00:28:51Yes, Mama.
00:28:52What is it?
00:29:05Please come meet with me.
00:29:06It's urgent.
00:29:07I told you, I need time.
00:29:10I know, but there isn't any more time.
00:29:13I need you to meet me at the airport lot.
00:29:15I'm not going to leave the country with you.
00:29:18It's nothing like that.
00:29:20I need your help to welcome someone.
00:29:22Please.
00:29:23It's important.
00:29:34I need sleep.
00:29:35Meet me in the morning then.
00:29:37The flight arrives in four hours.
00:29:39You have time for three more hours of rest.
00:29:41I have a headache.
00:29:43You can earn extra credit for the class.
00:29:47Fine.
00:29:56Leah.
00:29:57Leah.
00:29:58Leah.
00:29:59Leah.
00:30:00Leah?
00:30:01Leah.
00:30:02Oh my God.
00:30:18She's fine.
00:30:19She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:23She's fine. She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:28Did she say what kind of errand it was?
00:30:30No.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:40Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay!
00:30:47Man, please tell me we have something on my damn cousin in that damn drug ring.
00:30:51I'm afraid not, boss. However, we did find something interesting regarding something else entirely.
00:31:08I'm not committing to anything. You know, for all I know, they're just weird dreams.
00:31:14Do you want to tell me about your dreams?
00:31:16When we were kids, did we used to play together?
00:31:21And you had a pet frog named Mortimer!
00:31:30All my dreams are real.
00:31:32Do you have any other memories?
00:31:35Maybe of your family?
00:31:37Yes, Mama.
00:31:38Just a soft voice.
00:31:42Reminders to sit up straight.
00:31:44Rule wisely.
00:31:46That's right. You're a princess, Leah.
00:31:48A princess?
00:31:51It can't be.
00:31:52There are tests that can prove it.
00:31:54The easiest is to look for specific antibodies which can be traced back to the blood of the...
00:31:59Blood of the Lissagore family.
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:01There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:32:04I'm immune to the after effects of class 7 drugs.
00:32:09Are you certain?
00:32:11Help me.
00:32:13Still processing?
00:32:15Understatement.
00:32:16You've been waiting a long time to do that.
00:32:24Waiting a long time for it to mean something.
00:32:26Who are we meeting?
00:32:27Lady Tiffany Altiman.
00:32:29Queen of Lissagore.
00:32:32Your mother.
00:32:33Mama.
00:32:34Leah.
00:32:35Your majesty.
00:32:36Your highness.
00:32:37We ought to move somewhere more private.
00:32:45I suppose you were too young to remember what Lissagore was like before you left.
00:32:54Um.
00:32:55I lost my memories in an accident when I was 7.
00:32:58There was a coup following a bloody civil war.
00:33:02Your father and I, we feared for your safety.
00:33:06We sent you out of the country ahead of the rest of the family.
00:33:10But word of your escape got to our enemies.
00:33:14And they sabotaged your route.
00:33:17That's when we got the news that you had died.
00:33:21Once Lady Tiffany and Lord Edmund were trapped in the country as political prisoners, none of their allies could contact them.
00:33:30Uh.
00:33:31Lord Edmund?
00:33:32Your father.
00:33:34He was a good man.
00:33:35And a brave one.
00:33:36He loved you very much.
00:33:40What happened to him?
00:33:41He died in prison.
00:33:42Two years ago I was able to find Lady Tiffany and tell her the news.
00:33:47News?
00:33:48I found the lost princess.
00:33:51Oh shhh.
00:33:52Shhh.
00:33:53Darling.
00:33:54We can be a family once more.
00:33:57No.
00:33:58No.
00:33:59I have a family.
00:34:00Aaron.
00:34:01Yes, of course.
00:34:02The Jenkins.
00:34:03We will never forget the Jenkins.
00:34:04No.
00:34:05No.
00:34:06Aaron.
00:34:07He needs to know.
00:34:08Oh, I-
00:34:09Who?
00:34:10Aaron Harold.
00:34:11He took Leigh in after the Jenkins died.
00:34:13He's quite protective of her.
00:34:15Oh, of course.
00:34:16We will show our gratitude on him as well.
00:34:19He won't have to worry about you anymore.
00:34:21Oh, your fiancé is more than capable of protecting you.
00:34:25My-
00:34:26What?
00:34:27Your fiancé.
00:34:28Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:32No.
00:34:33Oh.
00:34:34I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:44I was getting to it.
00:34:46Brendan?
00:34:47My defense, your majesty.
00:34:49You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:34:52What was I supposed to do?
00:34:53It is one of our oldest traditions for the Heir of the Crown to marry a friend born into the espionage sector.
00:35:00The curriculum at this place is a bit lacking. I'm afraid it makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:07Yes?
00:35:08Stella, I require an update on Aaron. I want a timeline on your nuptials.
00:35:21It's not that easy, Mom.
00:35:22I'm sorry. Do you wish to find yourself pregnant and destitute in a West End back alley?
00:35:27Just because I can't get a Major General to marry me right away, it doesn't mean that nobody would at all-
00:35:33I guarantee every woman trapped in that back alley told herself the same thing. No excuses, Stella!
00:35:40I've just got to take care of that Leah first. I've got a plan to show her that I mean business.
00:35:46You should already be on the next step.
00:35:48I'm working on Aaron, okay? It's just gonna-
00:35:51Stella, you will say goodbye to your mother properly, young lady.
00:35:56Oh. It's gonna look great. You like that? Oh, that's nice. That's nice. And, uh...
00:36:11Damn. I'm forgetting something. I'm forgetting something. Oh.
00:36:20You idiot! I was the one who hired you! You got the wrong girl!
00:36:25Oh, man. You know, that's really rich. That's a good one. I've never heard that before. That's cute, even.
00:36:34I was not-
00:36:35Listen. I got my marching orders, Missy. I'm here to grab Stella Shelley. And that is 100% you.
00:36:46I gave you this damn assignment. Pick up target. Transport gagged in car. Tie up in public space. Beat breadcrumbs. And dress up with humiliating message.
00:36:59Oh, my God. I did not mean breadcrumbs literally!
00:37:05A. You just described our whole morning, so that means nothing to me, okay? And B. I ain't getting paid to be creative.
00:37:13Overpriced hack!
00:37:15Why do young people gotta take things so personally? Last step. Humiliating message. Hmm.
00:37:32My fiancé is a major general. And once he hears about this, you are done!
00:37:38Oh! I'm scared! Let's do it!
00:37:45Get this off of me!
00:37:47No.
00:37:52You may recall a black market site we were researching a few months back?
00:37:56Uh, Henchman for Hire?
00:37:58Still can't believe they went with that name.
00:38:00It's accurate.
00:38:09One of our guys cracked the encryption on one of their servers?
00:38:11Finally!
00:38:12We do have to move quickly.
00:38:14They have a rather disturbing policy when it comes to compromised counts.
00:38:18It's automation and it's finicky.
00:38:21Can we hack it?
00:38:23Maybe.
00:38:24But I'd rather we handled this one personally.
00:38:26There's some prominent people who've been using their services.
00:38:34I'd ask you if you're sure about this.
00:38:37But it's already in progress.
00:38:40I'm sure.
00:38:42And I'm not sorry.
00:38:47Somebody help me please!
00:38:49Oh my god, Aaron.
00:38:51I'm so glad to see you.
00:38:56You have to get the guy who did this to me.
00:39:01You have to arrest him.
00:39:03Aaron.
00:39:05Aaron, are you hearing me?
00:39:09Oh, I hear you.
00:39:12And I will.
00:39:14Do you know what happens when Henchman for Hire servers detect authority sector tampering with a client's accounts?
00:39:19No.
00:39:22How would I know I-
00:39:23They flag the potentially compromised client's accounts.
00:39:27And flag them for death.
00:39:29I don't see how this is relevant to me, Aaron.
00:39:32Ruben cut the funding to your accounts before he realized.
00:39:36Ruben's a liar.
00:39:38Stop!
00:39:40Ruben has never lied to me.
00:39:42And he never will.
00:39:44And besides, you're missing the point.
00:39:48Um, what's the point?
00:39:50This was originally gonna be an assassination attempt, Stella!
00:39:54So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:39:59So don't you ever say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:02I'm not feeling very protected at the moment, considering I'm still here.
00:40:06And the guy who did this to me is still out there.
00:40:10We found a way to redirect the system.
00:40:13Got it to select the most recent assignment that you had assigned to it instead.
00:40:17That-
00:40:19That is not-
00:40:20Justice!
00:40:22I think it is.
00:40:24I think watching what you had planned for Leah, done to you,
00:40:28I think that's beyond justice.
00:40:31I think that's mercy.
00:40:34And this is the final mercy that you or your family will ever get from me.
00:40:50Let's try this one more time.
00:40:52Huh?
00:40:55That's hilarious, long, and beautiful.
00:40:57Okay.
00:41:22Okay.
00:41:23Princess?
00:41:34I don't see it.
00:41:47I should tell Aaron.
00:41:49He'll know what to do.
00:41:51You'll tell Aaron nothing.
00:42:00With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws, Lizagor's queen in exile has announced her intention to visit Rosal.
00:42:08The exact day and purpose is to rinse it.
00:42:11I'm still on stakeout. No leads yet.
00:42:14Do you remember the cologne incident from seven years ago?
00:42:17The one involving your cousin? On your mother's side?
00:42:20Tyler, yes.
00:42:21Hard to forget. I was grateful he got kicked out before Leah had to meet him.
00:42:25Are you sure that I got the last crate?
00:42:27Aaron, when that petty little shit learned you how to favorite anything, he wanted it for himself.
00:42:33But I'm not gonna forget that he bought every last bottle of that cologne.
00:42:37Because...
00:42:39Because General Shelley recruited my help convincing the damn store to make one last run of the stuff for you.
00:42:45I, uh...
00:42:46I didn't know that.
00:42:47Don't worry about it. I did it half for you and half out of spite.
00:42:52Someone who smelled like me kept Stella company the other night.
00:42:56And I need to know if that means what I think it means.
00:42:58I'm already checking the flight records.
00:43:00Ah, hell.
00:43:02He is here.
00:43:12Your cousin has been a hit bet in the past two years.
00:43:15And hasn't been to visit any monks.
00:43:17Not unless those monks were running a lot of drugs.
00:43:21Class 7 included.
00:43:23Damnit!
00:43:25I'm sorry, Aaron.
00:43:27I don't know why he didn't come up on the radar or the CSAT.
00:43:31I do.
00:43:36When my aunt and uncle left the country, their names were flagged for watch.
00:43:40But I argued with Major General Shelley that Tyler was too young to have his name marked with theirs.
00:43:45So Tyler raised no alarms when he crossed the border.
00:43:48And now he could be the one who drugged Leah.
00:43:52Unconfirmed.
00:43:53But possible.
00:43:57Either way, the drugs were his.
00:44:00Yes.
00:44:12Wakey wakey.
00:44:13Ah.
00:44:15There you are.
00:44:16Aaron probably never mentioned me.
00:44:18He and I go way back.
00:44:21And as I told you, Miss Moffat.
00:44:24I know all about you.
00:44:26I wonder.
00:44:28Does Aaron still make Ruben do his dirty work and pretend like it was an accident?
00:44:32He always was predictable like that.
00:44:36I reckon you're the same way.
00:44:39You know, he always did gravitate towards similar peas to his pod.
00:44:44And with a face like yours, gravitate indeed.
00:44:48Or so his type.
00:44:51But I bet he never mentioned that either.
00:44:53Propriety.
00:44:54Am I right?
00:44:56Can't be seen taking advantage of the sad orphan in his upright mature care.
00:45:01At least, that's the take Mademoiselle Stella has been hammering home.
00:45:05What a gold digger.
00:45:06I admire that in a bitch.
00:45:09Oh, stop your fretting.
00:45:11You're a hostage.
00:45:13You've got, oh, a 40% chance of making it out alive.
00:45:16Most players make their cliché play and sacrifice their pawns.
00:45:23But the patient ones leave them perfectly positioned on the board.
00:45:28To take advantage of the other guy.
00:45:32And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:39Are you ready for your close-up?
00:45:42He he he.
00:45:46Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:08Now smile and say cheese.
00:46:11He he he he.
00:46:16They're late.
00:46:25They're unprofessionally late.
00:46:28Makes a guy feel lonely.
00:46:30Hm?
00:46:31Oh, right.
00:46:32You can't talk.
00:46:34Ah!
00:46:37Got anything to say?
00:46:40Who are you?
00:46:41Me?
00:46:42I'm the future general of Harold House.
00:46:45Never.
00:46:48That's what you get for being a smug pea in your provincial little pod.
00:46:53And where have you been?
00:46:55Uh, getting coffee.
00:46:56We can get you an extra if you want.
00:46:58Get into your positions.
00:46:59Slay.
00:47:00Slay.
00:47:03Aaron!
00:47:08Let her go.
00:47:10I said if you came alone, you would see her alive.
00:47:14That doesn't mean I'm relinquishing bargaining chips at the start.
00:47:18Put him in the fun chair, boys.
00:47:19Do you want me to drop the search for you?
00:47:26For your drug ring?
00:47:28Wait, he's the-
00:47:29Yes, Miss Muffet.
00:47:31I know this one is shit at keeping you informed.
00:47:34But do try and keep up.
00:47:37You know, I want so much more.
00:47:39And you owe me so much more.
00:47:41And you owe me so much more.
00:47:44I kept your name from being flagged.
00:47:47You kept mine!
00:47:48You turned me in!
00:47:50I turned your parents in.
00:47:51And me along with them.
00:47:53Oh, don't act so high and mighty about this now.
00:47:56You took my parents down that shithole.
00:47:58And you expect me to be grateful?
00:48:00Maybe I should thank you.
00:48:08After all, I did get to see the world because of you.
00:48:11Exile would do that to a kid.
00:48:14The jurisdiction of the law in these other countries is divided into little categories.
00:48:18They make their leaders earn every little last scrap of power.
00:48:23They can't even conceive of the absolute dominion that is the authority sector of Razu.
00:48:27And inheriting that kind of power, passing it to a capable family member.
00:48:33Because you think you should trust family?
00:48:36Unthinkable.
00:48:38So Aaron here is just a little more worldly than everyone else.
00:48:42Right.
00:48:43Go figure.
00:48:44Take a look.
00:48:45Take care.
00:49:14oh she's got it in a bitch after me you hurt her and you get nothing from me and i know you want something from me more than just my pain
00:49:31you know what miss muffet you've officially gotten annoying
00:49:43erin and i are overdue for a private chat and you have officially lost your fly-on-the-wall privileges
00:49:56fyi your personal hostage survival rate is dropping
00:50:02you're insane
00:50:07you're insane
00:50:10that's what everyone says in the face of the plumbish
00:50:18maybe i should go find her
00:50:20no
00:50:21this is the mother's duty
00:50:26affairs of the heart are complicated
00:50:30leah
00:50:36please
00:50:39we can talk about that i was troubling you
00:50:43leah
00:50:47oh
00:50:51oh
00:50:52oh
00:50:53oh
00:50:54oh
00:51:00you
00:51:02please please
00:51:05please
00:51:07don't come any closer
00:51:08come any closer. I'm
00:51:09armed.
00:51:13Is that
00:51:14any way to greet your rescuer?
00:51:17Stop
00:51:18struggling. I don't want to cut you, okay? I'm not going
00:51:20anywhere without Aaron. That's not an option.
00:51:22Whether you walk out on your own two feet
00:51:24or I carry you out,
00:51:26it's up to you.
00:51:28Look, you are the hope
00:51:30of our people.
00:51:32It's my duty to protect you. I can't do
00:51:34that if you're off chasing gangsters
00:51:36and kidnappers without a plan. That doesn't
00:51:38matter. I can't just leave him here.
00:51:41Well, from what I
00:51:42know of Aaron, he would not want you putting
00:51:44yourself in harm's way
00:51:45for his sake.
00:51:50Also, your mother
00:51:52is worried sick about you.
00:51:54She finally found her long-lost
00:51:56daughter, the last living member of her family,
00:51:58in your kidnap moments after
00:52:00reuniting. Her worst
00:52:02nightmares are coming true.
00:52:04Fine.
00:52:06But I am coming back
00:52:07for Aaron.
00:52:10I expect nothing less,
00:52:11your highness.
00:52:25Oh.
00:52:26Someone's looking a little less lost.
00:52:29You want me to abdicate
00:52:30his major journal in my house?
00:52:34And...
00:52:34And you want me to hand it over to you?
00:52:38See?
00:52:39Was that so hard?
00:52:43I am so sorry
00:52:45we couldn't get to you sooner,
00:52:47but since your father died,
00:52:48my contacts in Ruzel have become
00:52:49scattered and limited.
00:52:51I'll be fine,
00:52:52but we need to...
00:52:53Oh, thankfully,
00:52:54I still have a few people
00:52:55I can trust.
00:52:56You've already met
00:52:57my driver,
00:52:58Alexei,
00:52:59and my valet,
00:53:01Ivan,
00:53:02and my dog,
00:53:03Walker, Boris,
00:53:04and of course,
00:53:05Sir Brendan remains
00:53:06a most loyal and dedicated
00:53:07son of Lysagor.
00:53:08Mm-hmm.
00:53:09Mm-hmm.
00:53:09Oh.
00:53:11It's my honor to serve.
00:53:14Unfortunately,
00:53:15I'm just one man.
00:53:16Okay, enough.
00:53:18I can't sit here
00:53:19while Aaron is in danger.
00:53:20Now, are you going to help me or not?
00:53:21It's going to take time.
00:53:28We don't have time.
00:53:30Aaron is always there for me,
00:53:32and now he needs me.
00:53:33I have to go.
00:53:35Of course,
00:53:36I wouldn't think of
00:53:37standing in your way,
00:53:38but the fact remains
00:53:40I have no more resources
00:53:42to give you.
00:53:43You have given me
00:53:44all I need.
00:53:46I have my own resources now.
00:53:48Ruben?
00:53:55You are my last blood relative,
00:53:57so I could install you,
00:53:59but no other major general
00:54:00is going to want
00:54:00to cooperate with you.
00:54:02Oh, I've got plans for that.
00:54:04I got quite good
00:54:05at making plans.
00:54:06How do you like
00:54:07my little empire,
00:54:08by the way?
00:54:08It's a drug ring.
00:54:10It's the start of a kingdom,
00:54:12and one that would run
00:54:13much smoother
00:54:14if it wasn't forced
00:54:15to operate in the shadows,
00:54:17doubling as local
00:54:18major general
00:54:18could make that happen.
00:54:21And I intend
00:54:22to use the damn position
00:54:23to make a lot of things happen.
00:54:27Unlike you,
00:54:28sitting on your arse
00:54:29while your underlings
00:54:31do their sad little attempts
00:54:32at a bust.
00:54:34Or should I say,
00:54:36topping up.
00:54:37What?
00:54:38Oh yes, guys.
00:54:39I do know
00:54:40your dirtiest little secret.
00:54:43I should.
00:54:45I helped make it happen.
00:54:46You son of a bitch!
00:54:57Our mothers
00:54:59are not fair game, Aaron.
00:55:01You set that rule
00:55:02when we were eight.
00:55:03Remember?
00:55:05It was you.
00:55:07It was Stella,
00:55:09but yes,
00:55:10it was me too.
00:55:10And it was a lot of fun
00:55:13to watch.
00:55:14General Shelley's daughter
00:55:15exploited the whole aftermath.
00:55:18I just kept tabs.
00:55:21And you defended Stella,
00:55:22didn't you?
00:55:23Dutiful as ever.
00:55:24Of course you did.
00:55:28Ha!
00:55:29Damn!
00:55:30But if I could be
00:55:30a fly on that wall,
00:55:32watching you tell
00:55:33the girl
00:55:34who's in love with you
00:55:35that she has to
00:55:36take that bitch's shit.
00:55:39And after,
00:55:40you sought her out
00:55:41for the most
00:55:41vital ride of her life.
00:55:45Leah's not in love with me.
00:55:47Oh,
00:55:48you always were dense
00:55:49about the suffering
00:55:50of others.
00:55:51Ha, ha, ha.
00:55:54That's okay.
00:55:57I'm gonna help you
00:55:58walk a mile
00:55:58in her shoes.
00:56:00Ha, ha.
00:56:02I'm gonna help you
00:56:03walk a mile
00:56:04in her shoes.
00:56:06Ha, ha.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:16This is going down.
00:56:17No, it's...
00:56:18No.
00:56:19Open up.
00:56:20Okay.
00:56:20Ha, ha!
00:56:21This is on me, like.
00:56:22E.
00:56:24Go to hell!
00:56:34If I bother,
00:56:34I intend to rule there too.
00:56:37Ha, ha.
00:56:38You know,
00:56:39your little miss
00:56:40had me worried
00:56:41for a moment
00:56:41that I brought
00:56:42a bad badge
00:56:43across the border
00:56:44with me.
00:56:45She seemed to take
00:56:46forever to experience
00:56:47the side effects.
00:56:48Luckily,
00:56:49she was a fluke.
00:56:51Ha, ha.
00:56:54Cut him loose,
00:56:58boys.
00:56:59Cut him loose, boys.
00:57:08Son.
00:57:08Son.
00:57:08Son.
00:57:24Freeze!
00:57:29Should we fight them?
00:57:33Are we being paid enough to fight them?
00:57:39No.
00:57:42Silence.
00:57:52Erin, Erin, talk to me, Leah, safe, she's safe, man, come on, let's get you moved, oh,
00:58:11patience, patience, there could be in there dying and we're just sitting here watching
00:58:21and waiting, I feel utterly useless. By watching, we keep our people from being
00:58:25surrounded, besides, you're the one who decided to call in Ruben, you agreed to
00:58:30follow his orders. Wait, I think I see something, over there, I can't be certain
00:58:36but it kind of looks like it's high, what was that for, I don't want him to see us, but we can't let
00:58:47that bastard get away. I'm not, you're staying here where it's safe. Fine, but I'm
00:58:56doing this under protest. Protest noted, now, stay here.
00:59:0797, 98, 99, 100.
00:59:14Erin, thank God. His skin is hypersensitive right now and it's only going to get worse. I'm doing what I can to fix the wounds right now.
00:59:32Erin?
00:59:33Oh, you're so calm. Oh, sweet girl.
00:59:42He's not making any sense, what's going on?
00:59:44I think you know.
00:59:47Mesmer.
00:59:52Erin doesn't have any special antibodies.
00:59:54That is correct.
00:59:56So, what do we do? How can we-
00:59:58There's no cure. We can only mitigate symptoms.
01:00:01How?
01:00:03I think you know that too.
01:00:10I think you know that too.
01:00:13Um, is there somebody we should call?
01:00:17You.
01:00:21I want it to be you.
01:00:23Only you.
01:00:26Let's clear you guys out of this room.
01:00:32Woman.
01:00:47.
01:00:48Man,
01:00:49what's going on.
01:00:50Man.
01:00:51Often,
01:00:52you're sorry.
01:00:53It's all.
01:00:55You can't change.
01:00:56It's a little easier.
01:00:57You got it.
01:00:58It's all right.
01:00:59It's, it's all right.
01:01:00I'm stuck.
01:01:02I'm stuck.
01:01:04Trust me I guess.
01:01:05Anyone who's been saying,
01:01:06Well,
01:01:07this time I or something you see,
01:01:08I really had a dozen I can understand.
01:01:10So,
01:01:12Bubba.
01:01:13You gotta get to start,
01:01:14where met my research the bleeding.
01:01:45I almost had them.
01:01:52You're welcome.
01:01:53Well, if that's my ability to chase suspects and your ability to open doors, maybe we can
01:01:59pave the way for better international relations.
01:02:02Maybe.
01:02:03If you'd stop playing on Leah.
01:02:05Maybe.
01:02:06If she asked me to.
01:02:09So, where is she?
01:02:11With Aaron.
01:02:15It's inferior to Lizagor tea, you know.
01:02:27Don't make me open a door on you, too.
01:02:29How are you feeling?
01:02:46Better.
01:02:48Thanks to Leah.
01:02:50Good.
01:02:51But I still need to get you checked out.
01:02:53I called the doctor, and she's going to meet you at home when you arrive.
01:02:57Um, I'll be right back.
01:03:01You love him.
01:03:03I do.
01:03:04And I wish you the best.
01:03:07It's been an honor serving you both.
01:03:09So, what happens now?
01:03:14Well, Lady Tiffany has decided to remain in Rurazil, with you, and placing her safety in the
01:03:21hands of your Major General.
01:03:23But, what about you?
01:03:25I'll see what good I can do in Lizagor.
01:03:28It may be in chaos now, but I'll always remain loyal to the Royal Family.
01:03:35Thank you for everything you've done, for me and for my family.
01:03:39Goodbye, Princess.
01:03:48Princess, should I be worried?
01:03:50It's a long story.
01:03:52I'll tell you about it when we get home.
01:03:54Okay.
01:03:55But, before there's any other misunderstandings, I want to make something clear.
01:03:59About what?
01:04:01Leah, I love you.
01:04:05I know that might seem sudden, but it's not.
01:04:10Look, over everything we've been through the last few weeks, I just...
01:04:12I just want to ensure that there are not any misunderstandings.
01:04:19I'm so in love with you.
01:04:22And I have been.
01:04:23Okay.
01:04:23For a long time.
01:04:27I want you to know.
01:04:29I want everyone to know that.
01:04:34Leah.
01:04:36Please say something.
01:04:37I love you.
01:04:41I love you too.
01:04:44In that case,
01:04:47shall we let the world know?
01:04:48Leah Jenkins?
01:04:49Will you marry me?
01:04:59Yes.
01:05:00Yes.
01:05:01Yes.
01:05:01Oh my God.
01:05:03Hi, General.
01:05:16Hi, General.
01:05:20Hi, General.
01:05:32I didn't realize I'd be seeing you in person today.
01:05:35The situation called for it, Lieutenant.
01:05:37You and the Major General have cause to be proud.
01:05:40Thank you, sir.
01:05:44Major General Aaron Harrell,
01:05:46I am here on behalf of Ruat Seal itself to congratulate you on completing your mission and ensuring the safety of our people.
01:05:52The honor is mine,
01:05:54The honor is mine,
01:05:54Hi, General Shane.
01:05:55When you first undertook this task, I conferred with my fellow elders.
01:05:59We had faith in your success, and thus already had in mind the next mission that we wish to offer you.
