00:02You're lying. I mean, my mom's dead. They both are. So I don't know who you are or how you
00:08think you know me.
00:08I know you because I have watched over you, Gabriel. All these years. Every birthday.
00:13I don't even know who my birthday is.
00:15September 12th. I'd keep my distance. A different disguise each time. Sometimes I swear I'd catch you looking at me.
00:25I've never seen you before in my life.
00:27That playground by the lake. The monkey bars.
00:30You were so proud when you grew tall enough to reach them.
00:33And the school trip to the history museum. I saw you steal that pencil.
00:39And that day on the beach, you ate so much candy floss, you made yourself sick.
00:44I always felt, however impossible, that you knew.
00:51Maybe that was wishful thinking.
00:55This is a chip shop.
01:01You.
01:02They were all you.
01:09Don't come any closer.
01:10He could be watching now.

13:31you have no idea what you've done for me
13:33there
13:35thank you
13:49Yo, GameStar!
13:52Get wrong, man!
13:55This is a waste of time.
13:57I think we just torture Nikki for answers.
14:03I know you're the spy.
14:05I know you set up a mirror, and I know my dad's in on it.
14:09I'll tell you everything, but not here.
14:16Never seen him look this nervous before.
14:20I have.
14:22Just before the trials.
14:24I need to show you something.
14:25Come with me.
14:28Don't do anything.
14:30Don't react.
14:31It's me.
14:38So, Nikki told me I could speak to Ishan.
14:41She led me down to the lake, and then...
14:43Dude, come on.
14:44Trab much?
14:44Yeah, I know.
14:45All right?
14:46I was floating for hours.
14:48At some point, I realized no one was coming, and I knew I had to do something.
14:53There was something done for.
14:55But we did come for you.
14:58People threw in this chance to win, to try and find you.
15:00I mean, eventually.
15:02I thought you guys had given up on me.
15:04I made it back, but I knew I needed evidence.
15:07So, I set about getting it.
15:12Had a little fun while I was at it.
15:14And then I hid.
15:17Where's my hippies?
15:18Where is it?
15:25Something you should know.
15:26Lockets in on it.
15:28That's not the only one.
15:29That's why Nikki got away with it.
15:31Which one is she?
15:32The lamb.
15:34The lost lamb?
15:36She's gone.
15:37So's Penelope.
15:41The last square snatched me off the street.
15:43Brought me here to your dad and his saviour complex.
15:47He made all this noise about how he'd reprogram me.
15:51Save me.
15:52All I had to do was hide behind sweet, sickly Nikki.
15:58I missed his true motive.
16:00That's on me.
16:02He knew I couldn't be turned.
16:04He knew I'd report back to the nameless.
16:07That was his plan all along.
16:10He was using me.
16:13For what?
16:15To capture the chameleon.
16:17The chameleon's here?
16:20It is such a relief to take that mask off.
16:26Oh no.
16:28Maybe I shouldn't have told you everything.
16:30I can hardly trust you to keep your mouth shut, can I?
16:40Do you panic ring?
16:56Oh no.
17:12Caspian suddenly just appeared, out of breath.
17:15Like he'd been in some kind of struggle.
17:18Here.
17:37I'm not going in there first.
17:41Someone's been studying hard.
17:44Look at you, my beautiful boy.
17:48I thought you were dead.
17:51No, my darling.
17:52I'm very much alive.
17:54And I've come to take you home.
18:00Here.
18:09What has he done?
18:13Right.
18:16Right.
18:18Left.
18:22Go.
18:29Leaving so soon.
18:33You must have realized this was futile, but you'd never be able to escape.
18:37I've had eyes on both of you all along.
18:39You let me think that she'd been killed.
18:41She let your grandmother think she was killed.
18:43For their protection.
18:45So they wouldn't try and find us.
18:46Don't believe a word she says.
18:48She's a very dangerous woman.
18:50You're the danger.
18:51You're the liar.
18:53I thought I was here because I was good.
18:56But you used me as bait to kidnap her.
19:00I did what I had to do.
19:04You've been so distracted by Gabriel Avery.
19:07He's irrelevant.
19:08She never suspected a little old me.
19:12Anyway.
19:13The point is, right now, your father has captured my mother.
19:17Well, she's basically my mother.
19:20And now I have the perfect bargaining chip.
19:24I've got Penelope.
19:37Isabelle!
19:38You've got to help me!
19:39Sorry, Penelope.
19:40Can't do that.
19:42What?
19:43You're one of us!
19:47Don't try anything, Carver.
19:51What's going to happen now is you and Gabriel will replace your masks and return with me to the cell.
19:56At midnight, if your husband has a shred of sense left, I will have my wife back and I will
20:00consider letting you go.
20:04You seem to think you hold all the cars, Casper.
20:08But what's actually going to happen is, you're going to come with us.
20:14Why on earth would I do that?
20:17Because your daughter is waiting.
20:20Well, you don't believe me.
20:24Now scare yourself.
20:31What's she saying, Bob?
20:33Locket's taking Gabriel and some woman prisoner.
20:36But this woman and Nikki have Penelope and they're threatening her.
20:39So where are they?
20:41The Specularia.
20:54I don't know where they'll be.
21:07Come on.
21:17What did you mean, Penelope is waiting?
21:19Why don't we just go?
21:21A couple of things I need to take care of first.
21:26Wait.
21:27The cooler?
21:28Why would they be in there?
21:30Because it's heathen and silent and no one will find them in there.
21:36No one's in here.
21:37It's empty.
21:38Sorry, amigos.
21:49You did this.
21:50You brought them into the school.
21:52You put us all in danger.
21:54Nice work, ladies.
21:55I did everything you asked.
21:57Hope I made you proud.
21:59Let's restrain Mr. Locket, too, just to be on the safe side.
22:01If you wouldn't mind, Caspian.
22:03Of course I mind.
22:07Cuff him to the desk, as well.
22:16Thank you, Headmaster.
22:19If you harm one hair on her head...
22:22No one needs to get hurt.
22:24It's for our protection to ensure a clean getaway.
22:29Gabriel?
22:30I don't understand.
22:32How do you know Nicky and Isabella?
22:34I don't understand either.
22:36What's Gabriel doing here?
22:37He's the reason I came.
22:39You came here for me?
22:41To bring me home?
22:42You've been a useful little spy, but Gabriel...
22:46He's our precious son.
22:49He's your son?
22:51That's why you brought Gabriel here.
22:53To love a chameleon.
22:56You still haven't answered my question.
22:58How do you know Nicky and Isabella?
23:00You have to remember that Locket brought this all on himself.
23:03If he had just left you where he found you...
23:05Tell him the truth.
23:07It wasn't enough for him that he brought you here.
23:09He had to let me know he had you.
23:12So he recruited one of my protégés, knowing she would report back.
23:15What do you mean, protégés?
23:17Tell him who you really are, or I will.
23:21I suspected this was a trap.
23:23But nothing would stop me coming for my son.
23:26If only your hubris hadn't blinded you to the fact that I had three assets on the inside, ready to
23:32help me escape.
23:34Three?
23:36Well, who else besides...
23:40Oh, Leon.
23:41Not you.
23:46You're too good, amigo.
23:49I was supposed to lead you to your mama, but...
23:52You found her yourself.
23:53All I had to do was give you an escape route.
23:56Mind you, it could have saved us a lot of effort if you had just stayed home when we came
23:59to get you over Crookseed.
24:00And if you didn't put up such a fight when we tracked you to the Mercier office, they said you'd
24:07fallen to the Nameless.
24:09And I thought that meant...
24:11They killed you.
24:14No, my darling.
24:17We are the Nameless.
24:31I wasn't meant to be like this.
24:34I was supposed to win the year in triumph.
24:36Crooked Cup winner.
24:39I was meant to be dancing with Penelope while everyone cheered us on.
24:43Not standing in a half-empty room with you.
24:48I understand your disappointment.
24:56Where is everyone?
25:02I'll bet they've got a secret after-party.
25:06Whatever propaganda you've been fed, we stand for freedom.
25:10A crook's right to use their talents without limits.
25:12You have no claim on Gabriel.
25:13You abandoned him.
25:14We were forced to give him up to save him from you.
25:17Who are you going to trust, Gabriel?
25:19Your parents who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave you up to save your life?
25:24Or the man who used you as collateral?
25:26Why don't you tell them about all the people that you've harmed?
25:29Why don't you tell them about the woman that you kidnapped six months ago?
25:32Oh, you mean Carmen, your wife.
25:34The woman you sent to capture my husband, dead or alive.
25:38Well, here's the funny thing, Caspian.
25:43We don't have her.
25:46We never did.
25:48She disappeared the night of your raid.
25:51So all of this has been for nothing.
25:55Well, not nothing.
25:57You gave me back my son.
25:59Your husband.
26:01That means my father's.
26:02Luciana Lopez, also known as the Leopard.
26:12Whatever lies you've heard about your father, he is a great man.
26:17And he is desperate to meet you.
26:20Don't go with them.
26:21Please, Gabriel.
26:23This place would feel wrong without you.
26:25You don't belong with them.
26:27You belong here.
26:28You're one of us.
26:39I was only over here as bait.
26:44My parents want me.
26:47I belong with them.
26:51Go with Leon.
26:53I have to have a word with Caspian.
27:04If only you'd left us in peace.
27:06You threatened my husband.
27:08The man I love.
27:10They can't just let that go.
27:13Seeing as you've been a good little spy, Valette,
27:16I'm going to let you do the honors.
27:24It'll trigger the security system.
27:26Clever girl.
27:28I believe it only takes two minutes to suck all the oxygen out,
27:31so it'll all be over very quickly.
27:44Please, Nicky.
27:47The lad.
27:49Don't.
27:54Please, Elizabeth.
27:55I'm trapped.
28:18Shame.
28:20You let them get to you.
28:22What a waste. Get her out of my sight.
28:26Please, Camille.
28:28Come on, Villette. Let's take a walk to the pool.
28:30Take me with you!
28:31Take me with you!
28:43Fire protection. Activating maximum security protocol.
28:47You and Luciano were two of the best students I ever had.
28:51I know that deep down, the old Adria remains.
28:56You know nothing. You're a dinosaur.
28:59The world you want to believe in is gone.
29:01You couldn't be more wrong!
29:02You're the dinosaur!
29:04And my generation of crooks?
29:06We're a great, fake, unstoppable asteroid!
29:09Doesn't look that way, does it?
29:18No way Gabriel went willingly.
29:21I was there.
29:22He was happy to.
29:24She's his mother!
29:26No way, man!
29:27She must have played some kind of mind trick.
29:29We need a rescue mission.
29:30You've got no hope.
29:32They're headed for the old boathouse.
29:34And we're stuck in the corner!
29:37You know, after everything I actually feel sorry for you.
29:42Everything you did for them and they don't want you.
29:45I don't need your pity.
29:46No, I know that, Nikki.
29:48But now, everyone knows who you are.
29:51And trust me, it's hard to make friends when they think you're with and nameless.
29:58Caught you!
29:59I knew it!
30:01What kind of messed up after party is this?
30:03Hell, I was so frozen over.
30:05I'm actually glad to see you.
30:07Right, let's get out of here.
30:10Nope.
30:25You're my finest achievement.
30:28I don't tell you enough.
30:30You don't tell me at all!
30:33I don't expect forgiveness.
30:35But just know that everything I've ever done, however wrong,
30:40is to bring her home.
30:43Make her the family again.
30:46Save your breath.
30:48We've only got 24 seconds of it left.
30:52What's he gonna say?
30:5521.
30:58Dad?
30:59Dad?
31:00Have I taught you nothing?
31:02Mom!
31:04It's bolted to the floor.
31:05Think harder.
31:06Think faster.
31:07Need to rig the vacuum.
31:08That's it.
31:09Let oxygen in.
31:10That's it.
31:10Good girl.
31:11Keep going.
31:11But how?
31:12I'm cast to the death.
31:13Don't focus on him.
31:15Focus on me.
31:16On your 14th birthday.
31:18What did I give you?
31:20A crook always has to have two things about her.
31:24Her wits.
31:25An assault object.
31:36Sorry, Grandpa!
31:45Uh...
31:46I...
31:46that...
31:47I...
31:48I...
31:50I...
31:52I...
31:52I...
31:52I...
31:52I...
31:54I...
31:54I...
32:09Listen up, losers, we need your help!
32:11Who cleans? Assemble!
32:13I have a genius plan.
32:39I will never cast them up.
32:42Quit her.
33:17Look what the dawn has brought.
33:23A child needs their parents, Diego.
33:27You gave them up once.
33:28Do the right thing again.
33:30I've made my choice.
33:32Now get out of our way.
33:35This isn't who you are, Gabriel.
33:38Mira.
33:39We came looking for you, Gabestar.
33:40Judas here locked us in a cooler.
33:45Why'd you lock up my friends?
33:47Why don't you ask your mother what she did to Penelope?
33:51Gabriel?
33:53Gabriel?
33:54Where is she?
33:56Where's Penelope?
33:59Where's Penelope?
34:00She left her in the library with her father after she triggered the alarm.
34:06They brought it on themselves.
34:09You said no one would get hurt.
34:10It was just about making a clean getaway.
34:12It is.
34:13This way they can't come after us.
34:15Not today.
34:15Not ever.
34:17We'll be safe, my love.
34:23You don't belong with them.
34:25You're one of us.
34:26Don't go with them.
34:29I'm not your love.
34:32I mean, you don't even know me.
34:35What was I thinking?
34:37What was I thinking?
34:37I don't belong with you.
34:38I belong here.
34:41With my real friends.
34:44It's a shame.
34:45He's brainwashed you too.
34:47I'd hoped you'd come willingly.
34:51Hey!
34:53Let him go!
34:55Hell no!
35:16Let's go!
35:16Go, Go, Go!
35:23Let's go!
35:25Now!
35:46Game room!
35:55He's over.
36:11No! No! No!
36:15No!
36:43Velasquez, it's on to your radio.
36:45We found our headmaster, Aunt Penelope.
36:48She's made a right mess of the library.
36:51Your mum seems nice.
36:52It's not my mum.
36:54You called us your friends?
36:55What, you, um, didn't come here to make friends, gave stuff?
37:00What's that happened when I wasn't looking?
37:04I'm no hero.
37:05But when faced with evil, my legacy instincts had just kicked in.
37:09Fate calls the brave.
37:11But, but, when, they, but they grabbed you.
37:14And you looked pretty petrified when the mask came off.
37:16Thank you, Dorian. It was adrenaline, not fear.
37:18Avery!
37:21Not now.
37:21So you're their son.
37:24Only by birth.
37:26It's that same darkness as in you.
37:33You don't belong to Crookhaven!
37:35You're a liability!
37:37But, doesn't that make him a legacy?
37:44I failed.
37:46I had to leave our son behind.
37:47No!
38:01He's here.
38:09You know why we're here, Headmaster.
38:14I'll go first.
38:18I'll go first.
38:20Dear Dad.
38:21I've gone to find Mum.
38:23Don't try and follow me.
38:29Wait!
38:31Are you out of your mind?
38:34You can't just take off.
38:37I mean, what's the plan?
38:40I mean, where are you even gonna look for her?
38:41Crookhaven complex.
38:42Ask around.
38:43These are dangerous people.
38:45Well aware.
38:45Seeing how your mum just tried to kill me and my dad.
38:47Yes, she's not my mum.
38:49I know that now.
38:51Grandma's all the family I have.
38:52All the family I need.
38:54Well, right now my family's a dad who betrayed me.
38:57You put the whole school in danger and, and my mum's missing.
39:00I mean, I've got an idea.
39:04Take me with you.
39:07Why would I do that?
39:08If I could help.
39:09I don't need a wingman, let alone-
39:11Yeah.
39:16How long?
39:19As long as it takes.
39:22That you'll be here?
39:26Depends.
39:27Although a friend of mine said lately this is, um, where I belong, so, um.
39:34She didn't mean it.
39:36That was just a heat of the moment thing.
39:48I don't know.
39:56Or if she disappeared.
39:57Like your mum.
39:59Then come find me.
40:20Did you just nick my lucky coin?
40:22Beat in.
40:27Do it, Avery.
40:31Weep.
40:32I don't know.
41:02I don't know.
