17:41even if i have to lay down my life
17:44i need a complete list of anyone who's ever bullied
17:46humiliated or hurt my daughter
17:48and it's on my desk in an hour
17:50no exceptions
17:51his daughter was a victim of bullying
17:56if this matter isn't addressed properly
17:59all of eastern state
18:01is at risk of descending into chaos
18:05have the helicopter standing by
18:08we're en route to eastern state immediately
18:21that girl
18:22you told her to say that didn't you
18:25mom
18:27i really don't know what you're talking about
18:30drop the act
18:32i know your true colors better than anyone
18:34i usually ignore your little ploys
18:37but not today
18:38the four families business summit won't tolerate your foolish theatrics
18:43all right mom
18:44today appears to be a celebration
18:46but in reality it's for one thing only
18:48the arrival of victor
18:50with him on our side
18:51all of north america will submit
18:54to the four families
18:56but there's a catch
18:58a man like victor
18:59one of the most powerful men in america
19:02would not be swayed by ordinary favors
19:05but he had a particular fondness for young
19:09delicate girls
19:10what do you think of emily
19:12the girl from today
19:15i think she is wonderful
19:19absolutely beautiful
19:20it has an almost ethereal beauty
19:23that little bitch's gloomy frail look
19:27is exactly the type that middle-aged men can't resist
19:33chambers and the girls who were with victor
19:36very few of them survived
19:38a moving worker's daughter
19:40insignificant
19:41if this helps our family rise to a higher level
19:44then her death might have had some value
19:46the business summit is about to begin
19:48if we can't even handle something this small
19:51then i've failed as the leader of this family
19:54leave the kidnapping to me and zane
19:57i will inform the other two family leaders
20:01they are already on their way
20:04excellent
20:05with this gift victor will be on our side
20:09the four great families will rule everything
20:16that girl we assisted today
20:18she has an indescribable familiarity about her
20:22she's a little like jake
20:23and her father's also a moving man
20:26that's such a weird coincidence
20:30could it be that
20:37they bullied jake's daughter as if she were garbage
20:39i need the names of all those involved
20:41every bastard that harmed her
20:43no one walks free
20:53what have you uncovered
20:55we found what we were looking for
20:58but
20:59you might want to steal yourself
21:07at first it was just insults and being shut out by the others
21:11those kids didn't stop humiliating her
21:14they started hitting her
21:15you got the nerve to fight back
21:17bitch
21:18we'll rough her up
21:19good
21:39this is all on me
21:41i made a promise to protect her
21:43and i broke it
21:50i ought to have realized that something was wrong from the very beginning
21:55the clans behind those bullies
21:58they wield immense power
22:00emily didn't want to get you tangled up in this mess
22:03for all these years i believed keeping a low profile and living incognito would keep her out of harm's way
22:09yet everything i did
22:10only forced her to confront the danger alone
22:13sir rest easy
22:15my office will spare no effort to see justice done
22:17the chambers
22:18the barretts
22:19anyone who harms emily
22:20they will be utterly destroyed
22:27if anyone has the nerve to lay a finger on my daughter
22:30i'll make them pay dearly
22:32a thousand times over
22:36nice fresh tomatoes
22:37dad's gonna love these for his pasta
22:40if college isn't an option anymore
22:43cooking might be a great path
22:45life always finds a way
23:15hey
23:15don't you touch me
23:18it's too late
23:25haul her into the car
23:46scarlet
23:47how could you be
23:49your daughter emily was bullied
23:51and now she's kidnapped
23:52and you're just standing here asking me why i'm here
23:57adducted
24:02what are you even talking about
24:04she was just grabbed off the street on her way home from the grocery store
24:08dragged into a van by those kids who've been tormenting her for months
24:11where have they taken her
24:13tell me now
24:14our satellites are tracking them now
24:16we'll have their exact position soon
24:18i'm sorry
24:19but i have to say at this supposed calm life you live
24:22it's always been full of violence
24:24you couldn't protect your daughter
24:26it just was
24:27an hour ago she was ambushed outside school and humiliated like a stray dog
24:31when i found her she was covered in blood and shaking like a leafer
24:34first thought wasn't her own pain
24:36it was don't tell dad i don't want him to worry
24:37do you have the slightest clue what a living hell she's endured at that school
24:41wake up and open your eyes
24:43twelve years gone and you're still trapped in the shadow roger left you with
24:49what intelligence is there
24:53they took her to chambers manor of the site of the four families private dinner party
24:58whatever they're planning it's nothing good
25:00let's get the car
25:02move it now
25:03if anyone days lay a finger on my daughter
25:06the four families will be reduced to ash
25:24it's so good to have you back
25:30welcome back commander
25:33i am back
25:37trial begins
26:02madam chambers the gala's a success
26:05but we still haven't found the right gift to impress victor
26:09oh i've got just the thing
26:25pretty fragile young
26:27just vicar's type
26:33it's well known that victor has a particular fondness for young women
26:37this gift is exactly what he likes
26:40it's brilliant
26:41this will turn our fortunes around
26:43but will it anger
26:45governor john of the state
26:47john is stuck in the north
26:49he won't be back anytime soon
26:52he's supposedly searching for a mysterious arms dealer
26:56they call her shadow broker touter seven dean
26:59furthermore we've also won over john's arch enemy
27:02the corloan mafia
27:04even our four great families have to bow down to them
27:08with mr corloan's support and victor on our side
27:12what can a powerless governor do
27:14unless the former commander comes back to life
27:17no one in this country could shake us
27:21clove
27:22teach this girl some manners
27:25she'd better be ready to serve victor when he arrives
27:28don't worry
27:30i'll handle it
27:49with such a clever gift
27:51we are sure to win victor's favor
27:54of course
27:55tonight the dinner of the four pillars of power officially begins kai's
28:00everyone present will share in our new glory
28:06cheers
28:07cheers
