00:00:28When I was seven,
00:00:30I had no memory of being six.
00:00:32It didn't matter.
00:00:34My 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, I didn't know how much.
00:00:48As I carried him, so he would carry me through so much.
00:00:55This is only where it begins.
00:00:58Yeah?
00:00:58Hi, Aaron.
00:00:59Where have you been?
00:01:01Where have you been?
00:01:03Getting shot in all sorts of weird places?
00:01:07I've been installed as Major General in my house.
00:01:12I'm Authority Sector now.
00:01:15Sometimes that means taking some hits.
00:01:17Well, I would say congratulations,
00:01:20but I know you only probably got the position early
00:01:22because your father's health failed, too.
00:01:26Yeah, he's gone.
00:01:28Lester heard your parents were dead, too.
00:01:30And your aunt and uncle were taking you in?
00:01:34Well, since I'm adopted, my aunt and uncle didn't even see me as my parents' kid, so...
00:01:38Come home with me.
00:01:41What?
00:01:42Going from friends to being family isn't that weird of a leap, right?
00:01:47Okay.
00:01:58Silla, I'm sorry I'm late. I 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.
00:02:07New bestie, this is Leah.
00:02:10When was the last time I saw you?
00:02:12Uh, a few months ago, at your father's funeral.
00:02:15I'm so sorry.
00:02:16Don't worry about it.
00:02:18I'm over it.
00:02:19But he's your dad.
00:02:20Was my dad.
00:02:22You understand.
00:02:23When you work for the authority sector, you have no time for family.
00:02:27Well, Aaron has plenty of time for-
00:02:30Aaron.
00:02:30Aaron.
00:02:31Aaron.
00:02:31Aaron.
00:02:32Enough about Aaron.
00:02:34Don't talk to me about him.
00:02:35He 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.
00:02:51Brendan, hi.
00:02:54Leah.
00:02:55Fancy seeing you outside the classroom again.
00:02:58You're not spying on me, are you?
00:03:00No, I'm not.
00:03:01I promise.
00:03:02And 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, your boy?
00:03:25Oh, that's just Brendan.
00:03:28He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:30Ooh.
00:03:31I think he likes you.
00:03:32You should show him your appreciation for all of his hard work.
00:03:36Stella.
00:03:37Here's to being appreciated for all our hard work.
00:03:51Um, will you excuse me?
00:03:54I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:57Mm-hmm.
00:03:58The restroom.
00:03:59Right.
00:04:01Have fun.
00:04:01No, no, no.
00:04:29What's the situation report?
00:04:32We've traced the distribution of their new designer drug to this club.
00:04:36We were able to get a sample of it, and the lab boffins determined there are markers in the chemical
00:04:40composition which determine it's a class 7.
00:04:44Damn it!
00:04:45What can you tell me about this mesmer?
00:04:48It's fast acting, and it was originally developed as a date rape drug.
00:05:00It 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.
00:05:33So how does it work?
00:05:34You can't tell what's wrong at first.
00:05:37After all, starving is very different from just being a little hungry.
00:05:43And if you suddenly become a bottomless little pit of need, you might just jump anything with a pulse to
00:05:53see if it fills you.
00:05:55So pretty.
00:05:57We need a doctor!
00:05:59This is what I think it is?
00:06:01A doctor can't help her.
00:06:03What is it?
00:06:05Mesmer.
00:06:06Are you certain?
00:06:08As certain as I can be, without a blood test.
00:06:12Alright.
00:06:13You said the drug causes a potentially fatal brain fever?
00:06:17Look, if a doctor can't help her, then who can?
00:06:19What's the cure?
00:06:21There is no cure.
00:06:23No antidote.
00:06:24We can only mitigate these symptoms.
00:06:27Mitigate how?
00:06:30The only known treatment is skin contact.
00:06:34Lots of skin contact.
00:06:39I don't know if she's seen anyone.
00:06:41We 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.
00:06:50She'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.
00:07:06Are you certain?
00:07:08Help me.
00:07:11Do you know what this means?
00:07:13Yes.
00:07:17I'll be outside if you need me.
00:07:32I'll be outside if you need me.
00:07:52I'm bored.
00:07:56Don't worry.
00:07:57I got just the thing.
00:07:58This has all the benefits and none of the drawbacks.
00:08:03I'll even throw it in for free.
00:08:05I'll even throw it in for free.
00:08:18Hey.
00:08:19You wanna help me ride through this trip?
00:08:22Sorry, I don't offer those services.
00:08:27You smell just like him.
00:08:30I've got places to go.
00:08:32But I do have a couple of friends who are more than willing to help you out.
00:08:35For a price.
00:08:37Friends.
00:08:39Plural.
00:08:40Yes, please.
00:08:48It was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:09:06Everyone freeze!
00:09:07Authority sector is securing the area!
00:09:17Last night, the Authority sector proceeded with a drug bust at a bar in the East End.
00:09:22Excuse me, Gary.
00:09:23They report that while their seizure of the drugs was successful, the leader of the ring remains at large.
00:09:29His true name still a mystery.
00:09:31One of the people arrested at the scene is the daughter of a recently fallen Major General.
00:09:37University student Stella Shelley remains held for questioning.
00:09:42What?
00:09:43How dare they?
00:09:44Gary!
00:09:46Aaron better not have anything to do with this.
00:09:52I'm afraid that Major General Aaron Harold was in charge of the Raid Mom.
00:09:57It appears that Ms. Stella is being held in the same facility as last time.
00:10:02Call the lawyers.
00:10:06Yeah.
00:10:07Thanks for the update.
00:10:08And send Lee on my love.
00:10:09Uh, let her know.
00:10:10I will call and check on her.
00:10:12Later.
00:10:25Mrs. Shelley, what may I do for you?
00:10:28You can begin by explaining why you had my daughter arrested.
00:10:31Especially after you promised my husband that you'd take care of us.
00:10:34You know I can't comment on ongoing authority sector investigations.
00:10:39At the time of the arrest, I was unaware of Stella's presence at the site.
00:10:43Be that as it may, you could have done something to prevent her name from being released to the press.
00:10:48Do you know how I felt hearing about my daughter's arrest?
00:10:51Like she was a common criminal?
00:10:53It was an embarrassment.
00:10:54I'm sure it isn't Aaron's fault.
00:10:58I know.
00:10:59I put myself in a vulnerable situation.
00:11:04Sometimes, I just get so upset about Daddy's death.
00:11:07I just...
00:11:09I miss him so much.
00:11:12I'll see what I can do.
00:11:15Very well then.
00:11:16In the meantime, you must come to lunch at our place.
00:11:19Just to show we've put this shameful business behind us.
00:11:23Certainly.
00:11:38What happened?
00:11:39You were right, Ms. Jenkins.
00:11:41You had a very harsh encounter with a class 7 drug.
00:11:44We just got the blood test result back.
00:11:48When we got the result back, we also found some antibodies that's fighting the after effect of the drug.
00:12:00Lucky new.
00:12:01Lucky?
00:12:02Yes.
00:12:05Most people would need to be held for observation for weeks, but you're almost good as new.
00:12:10I am?
00:12:10Yes.
00:12:11I actually did a paper on this condition back in school.
00:12:14There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:12:18There's the monks of Ithbac, the old ostocracy of Lissagor, and the nudist colony.
00:12:24In...
00:12:26If you're done with your examination, I'll sit the two of you up.
00:12:29Anything for the Major General.
00:12:36So, what really happened?
00:12:47Aaron treated you, then he carried you home, and he delegated the mission to me. I finished the bust.
00:12:54Okay, I remember going to find you guys, and I remember asking him something, but I want to know what
00:13:02-
00:13:02We seized the contraband, but we failed to ID the ringleader. We know he got away-
00:13:09Wasn't what I was asking. I mean, it was, but it's not what I want to know first.
00:13:16I know. But you were in trouble, and we were short on time. Aaron did what he had to do.
00:13:25Hey, we never have to talk about this again.
00:13:32Don't we?
00:13:48What are you doing?
00:13:49I wanted to talk to you after class.
00:13:51What, so you can criticize me about how I'm not taking my studies seriously enough?
00:13:55Yeah, no thanks.
00:13:55You actually made some good points in your paper. You just, you didn't go far enough.
00:13:59You didn't cover half the required topics, and between that and the grammar, I just couldn't give you a better
00:14:03grade.
00:14:03Professor Olsen hasn't looked at the grades yet. I could temporarily lose your paper for a couple of days and
00:14:10give you the opportunity to rewrite it.
00:14:12Really? Thank you so much. I'm gonna get started right away.
00:14:22Hey. Tough teachers are a bummer.
00:14:24Oh, that. That was entirely my fault.
00:14:27Oh, really? Well, Aaron recently helped me out with a difficult situation. It's just a pity that he can't even
00:14:34exert a little influence to help you when some professor is giving you a hard time.
00:14:39It's not fair. But you know, it strikes me, I don't know you as well as I ought. After all,
00:14:46you are Aaron's family, and who knows what the future holds?
00:14:51So, in order for bygones to be bygones, I got you a gift.
00:14:55Oh, there's no need.
00:14:58I don't have it with me now, but how about I stop by Aaron's house and say an hour?
00:15:02Honestly, we're good.
00:15:05So ungrateful.
00:15:08Stuck up bitch.
00:15:14How's two or three sound?
00:15:16Oh, perfect.
00:15:19Toodles.
00:15:39So good of you to wait for me.
00:15:41I didn't think you were still coming.
00:15:43I would never break my word.
00:15:55Oh, poor thing. It appears my gift is more needed than I thought.
00:16:02Uh, thank you. I'm sorry. I really think you should go. I've got some homework to get back to.
00:16:08Oh, don't be ridiculous. I want to see how it fits.
00:16:25Aaron!
00:16:26Stella, didn't expect to see you here.
00:16:28I hope we're still on for lunch tomorrow.
00:16:30Yeah, that's fine.
00:16:32Awesome. We'll be all so excited to see you.
00:16:36Oh my god, what'd you do to it?
00:16:38No, it was already like this. I just came out to show you.
00:16:41If you didn't like it, you could just say so. Or just accept it and not wear it. Honestly.
00:16:46What? No, I- Excuse me.
00:16:52I thought Leah and I could take a day to bond.
00:16:55After all, she and I both went through something so terrible.
00:16:59But it's like, like she blames me or something, you know?
00:17:05But you would know better than that, don't you, Aaron?
00:17:08Leah makes mistakes like anyone else.
00:17:11I'll please ask that you give her the benefit of the doubt.
00:17:13And you're gonna tell her the same thing?
00:17:15Yes.
00:17:19I'm sorry, I have to go.
00:17:21We'll talk later.
00:17:30Yeah, um, we're just gonna go-
00:17:34Go do the thing.
00:17:35Yeah, because we had a thing to do later.
00:17:38And now it's-
00:17:39Later!
00:17:48I know I was short with you on my dad's funeral.
00:17:51It's okay.
00:17:54It's not. Daddy loved Aaron. He always knew that he'd become part of the family one day. I just didn't
00:18:01think he'd die before he got the chance to see it happen. And I understand that Aaron needs some time
00:18:07to grieve before he and I can really become an us.
00:18:10You and Aaron.
00:18:12Look, I get it. More than you know. He's taken such good care of you. And he's strong, powerful, not
00:18:22to mention his everything.
00:18:23What are you talking about?
00:18:25What are you talking about?
00:18:25For some of us, it's a babysitter. For others, it's a teacher. Or your mom's boy toy.
00:18:31The point is that we've all had inappropriate relationships.
00:18:35Inappropriate?
00:18:36Inappropriate?
00:18:37I know I'm not that much older than you, so...
00:18:38It can seem a little weird, but I can keep a secret. I'm here to support you. Because you are
00:18:44Aaron's family. And I think he's gonna miss you once you're gone.
00:18:51When I'm... what?
00:18:57When I'm... what?
00:18:59Gone. At least, I assume you'll be able to go.
00:19:03That's every goal for serious university students, right?
00:19:07Go out in the world and work your own field.
00:19:10Yeah, I mean, I don't have any post-graduation plans yet.
00:19:14Okay.
00:19:16Well, my bad.
00:19:18I thought that'd be was a fluke.
00:19:20I just know that striking out on your own can be really important.
00:19:24And you're going to need distance, especially if Aaron encouraged you.
00:19:29Oh, no, he's never...
00:19:31I didn't mean to imply that.
00:19:33No, of course not.
00:19:34He's Aaron.
00:19:36Yeah, right.
00:19:37No, I mean, he's always been like a, you know...
00:19:40Breathe.
00:19:41It's okay.
00:19:43Like a brother.
00:19:43I know.
00:19:45And, like, don't worry about the dress.
00:19:47I was mad about it before, but I'm not anymore.
00:20:18Is there something I should know about the lunch with you and Stella tomorrow?
00:20:22Uh, Mrs. Shelley invited me.
00:20:26She wasn't particularly happy about Stella's arrest, but I think the lunch is a chance to talk some things over.
00:20:31Well, her arrest was like five minutes long.
00:20:33Um, this is Major General Shelley's family, Leia.
00:20:40He was dying when he asked me to take care of them.
00:20:43Going to lunch?
00:20:45That's like the least I can do.
00:20:47No, yeah, I know that.
00:20:49But I also know that Stella was one of the last people I talked to before I started to feel
00:20:56that drug.
00:20:57But here's to being appreciated for all our hard work.
00:21:08Do you think she did it?
00:21:09I think it's possible.
00:21:11Are you certain?
00:21:12No.
00:21:16You weren't the only one under the influence of something that night.
00:21:19So was Stella.
00:21:22Granted, she might have taken it herself.
00:21:25And I can understand why she might not want to admit that, but...
00:21:28She's not our primary suspect.
00:21:30Who is?
00:21:32That TA who's been following you around.
00:21:35Brendan Martin.
00:21:39What?
00:21:39Brendan?
00:21:42Brendan?
00:21:43Are you serious?
00:21:45Yeah.
00:21:47Take a look.
00:21:49Security footage has him at the scene right before the raid.
00:21:52Look, he's exiting, he's handling a lot of people's drinks.
00:21:56And then he talks to you.
00:21:58Barely a minute before you came to me.
00:22:01Brendan's not a criminal.
00:22:02His documentation has a lot of holes in it, Leah.
00:22:05Okay, well that's what happens when you're a refugee from another country.
00:22:08Aren't you the one who told me that?
00:22:10Yes, but that's also what happens when you're a spy.
00:22:13Or, or, when you work for the biggest drug ring in Brazil.
00:22:17He does not work for a drug ring.
00:22:19And he wouldn't hurt me.
00:22:20How do you know that?
00:22:20Because he's my friend.
00:22:26I don't agree with you about Brendan.
00:22:30But I know you always have my best interests at heart, so.
00:22:33Always.
00:22:34I don't like when we fight like this.
00:22:37Me neither.
00:22:39Hey, do you remember when we used to have movie nights?
00:22:42Yeah, you hogged all the popcorn.
00:22:44I did not.
00:22:45But I will make the popcorn if you choose the movie.
00:22:58Stella, pour me some tea.
00:23:00Why?
00:23:01Gary has the day off.
00:23:02Also hand me the report behind you.
00:23:09Now, Aaron.
00:23:12I'm glad you've taken the steps to make things right with Stella in the authority sector business the other day.
00:23:18Mrs. Shelley, I'm really sorry about...
00:23:19You're sorry for our loss.
00:23:21Yes, I know.
00:23:23And you miss my husband, too.
00:23:26Joseph was always a workaholic.
00:23:28So, as a fellow Major General, you knew him better than any of us.
00:23:32If there's anything that I can do...
00:23:33Oh, there is.
00:23:35You promised to take care of Stella and to look after our family.
00:23:39Yes.
00:23:40I intend for you to honor that promise.
00:23:43Especially since you slept with my daughter shortly before arresting her.
00:23:47What?
00:23:48Be quiet, Stella.
00:23:49Mrs. Shelley, I did not.
00:23:52I know a man of your position can never admit to such a thing out loud.
00:23:55But let us be clear on what I do know.
00:23:57Stella was quite loose-lipped when I picked her up from the facility.
00:24:01She smelled of, well, certain liberties.
00:24:04And she kept sniffing at her sleeves.
00:24:07When I asked, she babbled on about a wild night and still having the smell of your cologne on her
00:24:13clothes.
00:24:15I know my daughter might not be so forthcoming at the moment, but she was in no shape to lie
00:24:19to me then.
00:24:21So, by all means, deny what you must, just so long as you make good on your promises.
00:24:32Come in.
00:24:35Here's my paper.
00:24:36Thank you for the second chance.
00:24:38Yeah.
00:24:39Have a seat.
00:24:40It looks better already.
00:24:42Did you learn anything interesting about Lizagla?
00:24:45It's like our professor said in class.
00:24:47There are always multiple reasons for conflict, but I just feel bad for the royal family.
00:24:54How so?
00:24:55It seems like they were governing responsibly, and then, out of nowhere, bam, civil war.
00:25:00They disappear.
00:25:04Wait, um, do you have any memories from before you were adopted?
00:25:09Who told you I was adopted?
00:25:11I, I can't really explain.
00:25:13Not, not here.
00:25:14It's, it's not secure enough.
00:25:15I, I can show you.
00:25:16Come with me.
00:25:17Please.
00:25:18I'm not going anywhere with you.
00:25:22Leah, it's, it's important.
00:25:26Please.
00:25:27I don't mean you any harm.
00:25:29I just really need you to trust me.
00:25:34Please.
00:25:35Fine.
00:25:36But I'm not going to some secondary location with you.
00:25:39You can come to my house.
00:25:41Aaron will be there, so no funny business.
00:25:45All right.
00:25:46I'll see you in an hour.
00:26:09You got buried treasure in there?
00:26:12Of a sort.
00:26:13This is yours.
00:26:16I've not been here.
00:26:21A bach.
00:26:45Mom.
00:26:47Mom.
00:26:47Mia, darling.
00:26:49We need to go now.
00:27:01What was that?
00:27:04What was that?
00:27:06Did that spark any memories?
00:27:09I don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:13Do you remember who gave you the doll?
00:27:17Your mother.
00:27:18My mother is dead.
00:27:21Why are you doing this?
00:27:24Leah.
00:27:24Please don't touch me.
00:27:28Touch her again, and I'll kill you.
00:27:30How long have you been following us?
00:27:32Why did you give her the drugs?
00:27:33I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
00:27:36Get off me.
00:27:37Calm down.
00:27:38I'm fine.
00:27:39You didn't sound fine.
00:27:40I was upset, but not with him.
00:27:43At least, not enough for this.
00:27:45I invited him over.
00:27:47I don't need you to play knight in shining armor.
00:27:50I need you to leave.
00:27:52Now.
00:27:54We'll talk later.
00:27:57All right.
00:28:01I don't want that man in my house.
00:28:03Okay.
00:28:04You know what?
00:28:04Last time I checked, this was my house, too.
00:28:07He's been spying on you, and he's working for the ring.
00:28:10Who told you that?
00:28:11Little miss, I can do no wrong, Stella.
00:28:14Oh, leave her out of this.
00:28:15Why?
00:28:16What are you going to do?
00:28:16Marry her?
00:28:18What?
00:28:19No.
00:28:20Well, you might want to tell her that.
00:28:53Mama, where are you?
00:28:57Leah, darling, we need to go now.
00:29:01Yes, Mama.
00:29:12What is it?
00:29:14Please come meet with me.
00:29:15It's urgent.
00:29:17I told you, I need time.
00:29:20I know, but there isn't any more time.
00:29:22I need you to meet me at the airport lot.
00:29:24I'm not going to leave the country with you.
00:29:27It's nothing like that.
00:29:29I need your help to welcome someone.
00:29:31Please.
00:29:32It's important.
00:29:43I need sleep.
00:29:44Meet me in the morning, then.
00:29:46The flight arrives in four hours.
00:29:47You have time for three more hours of rest.
00:29:50I have a headache.
00:29:52You can earn extra credit for the class.
00:29:56You can earn extra credit for it.
00:29:56You can earn extra credit for us.
00:30:03Fine.
00:30:04Leah.
00:30:18Leah.
00:30:20Leah.
00:30:23Mia.
00:30:27Oh my god.
00:30:31She's fine.
00:30:33She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:37Did she say what kind of errand it was?
00:30:38No.
00:30:40Okay.
00:30:42Okay.
00:30:49Okay.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:55Man, please tell me we have something on my damn cousin in that damn drug ring.
00:31:00Afraid not, boss.
00:31:03However, we did find something interesting regarding something else entirely.
00:31:16I'm not committing to anything.
00:31:19You know, for all I know, they're just weird dreams.
00:31:22Do you want to tell me about your dreams?
00:31:24When we were kids, did we used to play together?
00:31:35And you had a pet frog named Mortimer.
00:31:39All my dreams are real.
00:31:40Do you have any other memories?
00:31:44Maybe of your family?
00:31:46Yes, Mama.
00:31:47Just a soft voice.
00:31:50Reminders to sit up straight.
00:31:52Rule wisely.
00:31:54That's right.
00:31:55You're a princess, Leah.
00:31:56A princess?
00:31:59It can't be.
00:32:00There are tests that can prove it.
00:32:02There are tests that can prove it.
00:32:03The easiest is to look for specific antibodies which can be traced back to the blood-
00:32:07Blood of the Lizagor family.
00:32:09Yeah.
00:32:09There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:32:13I'm immune to the after effects of class 7 drugs.
00:32:17Are you certain?
00:32:19Help me.
00:32:22Still processing?
00:32:23Understatement.
00:32:31You've been waiting a long time to do that.
00:32:33Waiting a long time for it to mean something.
00:32:34Who are we meeting?
00:32:35Lady Tiffany Altiman.
00:32:37Queen of Lizagor.
00:32:40Your mother.
00:32:41Mama.
00:32:42Leah.
00:32:44Your Majesty.
00:32:45Your Highness.
00:32:46We ought to move somewhere more private.
00:32:57I suppose you were too young to remember what Lysagor was like before you left.
00:33:02Um.
00:33:03I lost my memories in an accident when I was 7.
00:33:07There was a coup following a bloody civil war.
00:33:10Your father and I, we feared for your safety.
00:33:14We sent you out of the country ahead of the rest of the family.
00:33:18But, word of your escape got to our enemies.
00:33:22And they sabotaged your route.
00:33:25That's when we got the news that you had died.
00:33:33Once Lady Tiffany and Lord Edmund were trapped in the country as political prisoners,
00:33:37none of their allies could contact them.
00:33:39Uh, Lord Edmund?
00:33:40Your father.
00:33:42He was a good man and a brave one.
00:33:45He loved you very much.
00:33:48What happened to him?
00:33:50He died in prison.
00:33:51Two years ago I was able to find Lady Tiffany and tell her the news.
00:33:56News?
00:33:57I found the lost princess.
00:33:59Oh, shh.
00:34:01Darling.
00:34:02We can be a family once more.
00:34:05No.
00:34:05No.
00:34:06I have a family.
00:34:07Aaron.
00:34:08Yes, of course.
00:34:09The Jenkins.
00:34:09We will never forget the Jenkins.
00:34:11No.
00:34:12Aaron.
00:34:12He needs to know.
00:34:14Who?
00:34:15Aaron Harold.
00:34:16He took Leigh in after the Jenkins died.
00:34:20He's quite protective of her.
00:34:23Of course.
00:34:24We will show our gratitude on him as well.
00:34:27He won't have to worry about you anymore.
00:34:30Your fiancé is more than capable of protecting you.
00:34:34My what?
00:34:35Your fiancé.
00:34:39Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:42No.
00:34:45Oh?
00:34:49I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:52I was getting to it.
00:34:54Brendan?
00:34:56My defense, your majesty.
00:34:58You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:35:01What was I supposed to do?
00:35:02It is one of our oldest traditions for the heir of the crown.
00:35:05To marry a friend born into the espionage sector.
00:35:10The curriculum of this place is a bit lacking, I'm afraid.
00:35:14It makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:23Yes?
00:35:24Stella?
00:35:25I require an update on Aaron.
00:35:26I want a timeline on your nuptials.
00:35:29It's not that easy, Mom.
00:35:30I'm sorry.
00:35:31Do you wish to find yourself pregnant and destitute in a West End back alley?
00:35:36Just because I can't get a Major General to marry me right away?
00:35:39It doesn't mean that nobody would at all.
00:35:42I guarantee every woman trapped in that back alley told herself the same thing.
00:35:46No excuses, Stella.
00:35:49I've just got to take care of that Leah first.
00:35:52I've got a plan to show her that I mean business.
00:35:54You should already be on the next step.
00:35:57I'm working on Aaron, okay?
00:35:59It's just going to take-
00:36:02Stella?
00:36:02You will say goodbye to your mother properly, young lady.
00:36:08Oh.
00:36:09It's going to look great.
00:36:11You like that?
00:36:12Oh, that's nice.
00:36:14That's nice.
00:36:15And, uh...
00:36:21Damn.
00:36:23I'm forgetting something.
00:36:25I'm forgetting something.
00:36:26Oh.
00:36:28You idiot!
00:36:30I was the one who hired you.
00:36:31You got the wrong girl!
00:36:35Oh, but...
00:36:37You know, that's really rich.
00:36:38That's a good one.
00:36:40I've never heard that before.
00:36:41That's cute even.
00:36:42I was not-
00:36:43Listen.
00:36:44I got my marching orders, Missy.
00:36:46I'm here to grab Stella Shelley.
00:36:50And that is 100% you.
00:36:54I gave you this damn assignment.
00:36:57Pick up target.
00:36:58Transport gagged in car.
00:37:01Tie up in public space.
00:37:03Beat breadcrumbs.
00:37:04And dress up with humiliating message.
00:37:08Oh my god.
00:37:10I did not mean breadcrumbs literally!
00:37:14A.
00:37:15You just described our whole morning, so that means nothing to me, okay?
00:37:19And B.
00:37:20I ain't getting paid to be creative.
00:37:22Overpriced hack!
00:37:25Why do young people gotta take things so personally?
00:37:30Last step.
00:37:33Humiliating message.
00:37:35Hmm.
00:37:40My fiancé is a major general.
00:37:42And once he hears about this, you are done!
00:37:49I'm scared.
00:37:51Let's do it.
00:37:54Get this off of me.
00:37:55No.
00:38:00You may recall a black market site we were researching a few months back?
00:38:04A henchman for hire?
00:38:07Still can't believe they went with that name.
00:38:09It's accurate.
00:38:16One of our guys cracked the encryption on one of their servers.
00:38:20Finally.
00:38:21We do have to move quickly.
00:38:22They have a rather disturbing policy when it comes to compromised counts.
00:38:27It's automation and it's finicky.
00:38:30Can we hack it?
00:38:32Maybe.
00:38:32But I'd rather we handled this one personally.
00:38:35There's some...
00:38:36prominent people who've been using their services.
00:38:42I'd ask you if you're sure about this.
00:38:45But it's already in progress.
00:38:48I'm sure.
00:38:50And I'm not sorry.
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:38:56Somebody help me please!
00:38:57Oh my god, Aaron.
00:38:59I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:04I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:07You have to get the guy who did this to me.
00:39:10You have to arrest him.
00:39:14Aaron.
00:39:15Aaron, are you hearing me?
00:39:18Oh, I hear you.
00:39:20And I will.
00:39:23Do you know what happens when henchmen for hire servers detect authority sector tampering with a client's accounts?
00:39:29No. How would I know I-
00:39:31They flag the potentially compromised client's accounts.
00:39:35And flag them for death.
00:39:37I don't see how this is relevant to me, Aaron.
00:39:41Ruben cut the funding to your accounts before he realized.
00:39:44Ruben's a liar.
00:39:46Stop!
00:39:47Ruben has never lied to me.
00:39:51And he never will.
00:39:53And besides, you're missing the point.
00:39:57Um, what's the point?
00:39:58This was originally gonna be an assassination attempt, Stella!
00:40:02So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:09I'm not feeling very protected at the moment, considering I'm still here, and the guy who did this to me
00:40:15is still out there.
00:40:18We found a way to redirect the system.
00:40:21Got it to select the most recent assignment that you had assigned to it instead.
00:40:26That-
00:40:27That is not-
00:40:28Justice!
00:40:29I think it is.
00:40:31I think watching what you had planned for Leah, done to you,
00:40:36I think that's beyond justice.
00:40:39I think that's mercy.
00:40:42And this is the final mercy that you or your family will ever get from me.
00:40:58Let's try this one more time.
00:41:00Huh?
00:41:04That's hilarious.
00:41:05Well, thank you, beautiful.
00:41:16Good.
00:41:41Princess?
00:41:46I don't see it.
00:41:54I should tell Aaron.
00:41:56He'll know what to do.
00:41:59You'll tell Aaron nothing.
00:42:08With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws, Lizagor's Queen in Exile has announced her intention to visit Rosal. The
00:42:16exact day and purpose is through Rinzi.
00:42:19I'm still on stakeout.
00:42:21No leads yet.
00:42:22Do you remember the cologne incident from seven years ago?
00:42:25The one involving your cousin?
00:42:27On your mother's side?
00:42:28Tyler, yes.
00:42:29Hard to forget.
00:42:30I was grateful he got kicked out before Leah had to meet him.
00:42:34Are you sure that I got the last crate?
00:42:36Aaron, when that petty little shit learned you how to favorite anything, he wanted it for himself.
00:42:41But I'm not gonna forget that he bought every last bottle of that cologne.
00:42:45Because...
00:42:47Because General Shelley recruited my help convincing the damn store to make one last run of the stuff for you.
00:42:53I, uh, I didn't know that.
00:42:56Don't worry about it.
00:42:57I did it half for you, and half out of spite.
00:43:01Someone who smelled like me kept Stella company the other night.
00:43:04And I need to know if that means what I think it means.
00:43:06I'm already checking the flight records.
00:43:09Aw, hell.
00:43:11He is here.
00:43:20Your cousin has been a hit bet in the past two years.
00:43:24And hasn't been to visit any monks.
00:43:27Not unless those monks were running a lot of drugs.
00:43:30Class seven included.
00:43:31Damn it!
00:43:34I'm sorry, Aaron.
00:43:36I don't know why he didn't come up on the radar or the CSAT.
00:43:39I do.
00:43:45When my aunt and uncle left the country, their names were flagged for watch.
00:43:49But I argued with Major General Shelley that Tyler was too young to have his name marked with theirs.
00:43:53So Tyler raised no alarms when he crossed the border.
00:43:56And now he could be the one who drug Leah.
00:44:00Unconfirmed.
00:44:01But possible.
00:44:04Either way, the drugs were his.
00:44:08Yes.
00:44:20Wakey-wakey.
00:44:22Ah, there you are.
00:44:25Aaron probably never mentioned me.
00:44:26He and I go way back.
00:44:29And as I told you, Miss Moffat, I know all about you.
00:44:34I wonder, does Aaron still make Ruben do his dirty work and pretend like it was an accident?
00:44:42He always was predictable like that.
00:44:45I reckon you're the same way.
00:44:47You know, he always did gravitate towards similar peas to his pod.
00:44:52And with a face like yours, gravitate indeed.
00:44:57More so his type.
00:44:59But I bet he never mentioned that either.
00:45:02Propriety, am I right?
00:45:04Can't be seen taking advantage of the sad orphan in his upright mature care.
00:45:09At least, that's the take Mademoiselle Stella has been hammering home.
00:45:13What a gold digger.
00:45:15I admire that in a bitch.
00:45:17Oh, stop your fretting.
00:45:19You're a hostage.
00:45:21You've got, oh, a 40% chance of making it up alive.
00:45:25Most players make their cliché play and sacrifice their pawns.
00:45:31But the patient ones leave them perfectly positioned on the board to take advantage of the other guy.
00:45:40And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:47Are you ready for your close-up?
00:46:09Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:15Now smile and say cheese.
00:46:31Yes.
00:46:32They're late.
00:46:33They're unprofessionally late.
00:46:36Makes a guy feel lonely.
00:46:38Hm?
00:46:39Oh, right.
00:46:40You can't talk.
00:46:45Got anything to say?
00:46:48Who are you?
00:46:49Me?
00:46:50I'm the future general of Harold House.
00:46:54Never.
00:46:56That's what you get for being a small pea in your provincial little pod.
00:47:01And where have you been?
00:47:04Getting coffee.
00:47:05We can get you an extra if you want.
00:47:06Get into your positions.
00:47:08Slay.
00:47:11Aaron.
00:47:17Let her go.
00:47:18I said if you came alone, you would see her alive.
00:47:22That doesn't mean I'm relinquishing bargaining chips at the start.
00:47:26Put them in the fun chair, boys.
00:47:32Do you want me to drop the search for you?
00:47:35For your drug ring?
00:47:36Wait, he's the...
00:47:38Yes, Miss Muffet.
00:47:39I know this one is shit at keeping you informed.
00:47:43But do try and keep up.
00:47:46You know, I want so much more.
00:47:49And you owe me so much more.
00:47:52I kept your name from being flagged.
00:47:55You kept mine.
00:47:56You turned me in.
00:47:58I turned your parents in.
00:47:59And me along with them.
00:48:01Oh, don't act so high and mighty about this now.
00:48:03You took my parents down that shithole.
00:48:06And you expect me to be grateful?
00:48:14Maybe I should thank you.
00:48:16After all, I did get to see the world because of you.
00:48:20Exile would do that to a kid.
00:48:22The jurisdiction of the law in these other countries is divided into little categories.
00:48:26They make their leaders earn every little last scrap of power.
00:48:31They can't even conceive of the absolute dominion that is the authority sector of Razul.
00:48:36And inheriting that kind of power?
00:48:38Passing it to a capable family member.
00:48:41Because you think you should trust family?
00:48:45Unthinkable.
00:48:45So Aaron here is just a little more worldly than everyone else.
00:48:50Right.
00:48:51Go figure.
00:49:15For tomorrow.
00:49:16For tomorrow.
00:49:27Jason-
00:49:28Jason-
00:49:28Oh, she's got it in a bitch after-
00:49:30You hurt her and you get nothing from me.
00:49:34And I know you want something from me.
00:49:37More than just my pain.
00:49:42You know what, Miss Muffet? You've officially gotten annoying.
00:49:51Erin and I are overdue for a private chat, and you have officially lost your fly-on-the-wall
00:49:58privileges.
00:50:04FYI, your personal hostage survival rate is DROPPING!
00:50:10You're insane!
00:50:15You're insane!
00:50:18That's what everyone says in the face of a plumbish.
00:50:26Maybe I should go find her.
00:50:28No.
00:50:30This is the mother's duty.
00:50:34Affairs of the heart are complicated.
00:50:43Lea?
00:50:46Please, we can talk about what I was troubling you.
00:50:52Oh!
00:50:53Lea?
00:50:58Oh!
00:51:01Oh!
00:51:02Brandon!
00:51:12Please, please, please!
00:51:16Don't come any closer.
00:51:18I'm armed.
00:51:21Is that any way to greet your rescuer?
00:51:26Stop struggling.
00:51:27I don't want to cut you, okay?
00:51:28I'm not going anywhere without Aaron.
00:51:29That's not an option.
00:51:30Whether you walk out on your own two feet,
00:51:33or I carry you out,
00:51:35it's up to you.
00:51:36Look, you are the hope of our people.
00:51:40It's my duty to protect you.
00:51:42I can't do that
00:51:42if you're off chasing gangsters
00:51:44and kidnappers without a plan.
00:51:46That doesn't matter.
00:51:47I can't just leave him here.
00:51:49Well, from what I know of Aaron,
00:51:51he would not want you putting yourself
00:51:53in harm's way for his sake.
00:51:59Also, your mother is worried sick about you.
00:52:02She finally found her long-lost daughter,
00:52:05the last living member of her family,
00:52:07in your kidnap moments after reuniting.
00:52:10Her worst nightmares are coming true.
00:52:13Fine.
00:52:14But I am coming back for Aaron.
00:52:18I expect nothing less, your highness.
00:52:33Oh, someone's looking a little less lost.
00:52:37You want me to abdicate his major journal in my house?
00:52:41And?
00:52:44And you want me to hand it over to you?
00:52:47See?
00:52:47Was that so hard?
00:52:52I am so sorry we couldn't get to you sooner,
00:52:55but since your father died,
00:52:56my contacts in Rue's
00:52:57will have become scattered and limited.
00:52:59I'll be fine,
00:53:00but we need to...
00:53:01Oh, thankfully,
00:53:02I still have a few people I can trust.
00:53:04You've already met my driver,
00:53:07Alexi,
00:53:07and my valet Ivan
00:53:10and my dog Walker Boris.
00:53:12And of course,
00:53:13Sir Brendan remains
00:53:14the most loyal and dedicated
00:53:15son of Lysagor.
00:53:17Mm-hmm.
00:53:17Mm-hmm.
00:53:18Oh.
00:53:19It's my honor to serve.
00:53:21And fortunately,
00:53:24I'm just one man.
00:53:25Okay, enough.
00:53:26I can't sit here
00:53:27while Aaron is in danger.
00:53:28Now, are you going to help me or not?
00:53:33It's
00:53:35going to take time.
00:53:36We don't have time.
00:53:38Aaron is always there for me,
00:53:40and now he needs me.
00:53:41I have to go.
00:53:44Of course,
00:53:44I wouldn't think of standing in your way,
00:53:46but the fact remains
00:53:48I have no more resources to give you.
00:53:52You have given me all I need.
00:53:55I have my own resources now.
00:53:59Ruben?
00:54:03You are my last blood relative,
00:54:05so I could install you,
00:54:07but no other major general
00:54:08is going to want to cooperate with you.
00:54:10Oh, I've got plans for that.
00:54:12I've got quite good at making plans.
00:54:14How do you like my little empire,
00:54:16by the way?
00:54:17It's a drug ring.
00:54:18It's the start of a kingdom,
00:54:20and one that would run much smoother
00:54:22if it wasn't forced to operate in the shadows.
00:54:25Doubling as local major general
00:54:27could make that happen.
00:54:29And I intend to use the damn position
00:54:31to make a lot of things happen.
00:54:35Unlike you,
00:54:37sitting on your arse
00:54:38while your underlings
00:54:39do their sad little attempts
00:54:40at a bust.
00:54:42Or should I say,
00:54:44topping up.
00:54:45What?
00:54:46Oh, yes, guys.
00:54:48I do know your dirtiest little secret.
00:54:51I should.
00:54:53I helped make it happen.
00:55:04You son of a bitch!
00:55:06Our mothers are not fair game, Aaron.
00:55:09You set that rule
00:55:10when we were eight.
00:55:11Remember?
00:55:13It was you.
00:55:16It was Stella,
00:55:17but yes,
00:55:18it was me too.
00:55:19And it was a lot of fun to watch.
00:55:22General Shelley's daughter
00:55:24exploited the whole aftermath.
00:55:26I just kept tabs.
00:55:29And you defended Stella,
00:55:31didn't you?
00:55:31Dutiful as ever.
00:55:34Of course you did.
00:55:36Ha!
00:55:37Damn!
00:55:38But if I could be a fly
00:55:39on that wall,
00:55:40watching you tell the girl
00:55:42who's in love with you
00:55:43that she has to take
00:55:44that bitch's shit.
00:55:47And after,
00:55:48you sought her out
00:55:49for the most vital ride
00:55:51of her life.
00:55:53Leah's not in love with me.
00:55:55Oh,
00:55:56you always were dense
00:55:58about the suffering of others.
00:56:03That's okay.
00:56:05I'm going to help you
00:56:06walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:11I'm going to help you
00:56:12walk a mile in her shoes.
00:56:23Yeah.
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:25This is going down.
00:56:26No, no.
00:56:27Open up.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:29This is anyway.
00:56:30Yeah.
00:56:40Go to hell!
00:56:42If I bother,
00:56:43I intend to rule there too.
00:56:46You know,
00:56:48your little miss
00:56:48had me worried
00:56:49for a moment
00:56:50that I brought a bad badge
00:56:51across the border with me.
00:56:53She seemed to take forever
00:56:54to experience the side effects.
00:56:56Luckily,
00:56:57she was a fluke.
00:57:06cut him loose, boys.
00:57:08Okay.
00:57:38Freeze!
00:57:44Should we fight them? Are we being paid enough to fight them?
00:57:48No.
00:58:05Aaron! Aaron, talk to me. Leah!
00:58:08Safe. She's safe, man.
00:58:17Come on, let's get you moved.
00:58:23Patience.
00:58:25Patience?
00:58:26Aaron could be in there dying and we're just sitting here watching and waiting.
00:58:30I feel utterly useless.
00:58:31By watching, we keep our people from being surrounded.
00:58:35Besides, you're the one who decided to call in Reuben.
00:58:38You agreed to follow his orders.
00:58:40Wait, I think I see something. Over there.
00:58:43I can't be certain, but it kind of looks like...
00:58:47Tyler...
00:58:50What was that for?
00:58:51Shhh!
00:58:52You don't want him to see us.
00:58:54We can't let that bastard get away!
00:58:58I'm not.
00:59:00You're staying here where it's safe.
00:59:03Fine, but I'm doing this under protest.
00:59:07Protest noted.
00:59:08Now, stay here.
00:59:1597...
00:59:1698...
00:59:1899...
00:59:20100.
00:59:22Oh.
00:59:26Oh...
00:59:31Aaron!
00:59:33Thank God!
00:59:33His skin is hypersensitive right now, and it's only gonna get worse.
00:59:38I'm doing what I can to fix the wounds right now.
00:59:41Aaron?
00:59:42Oh, you're so calm.
00:59:49He's not making any sense. What's going on?
00:59:53I think you know.
00:59:57Mesmer.
01:00:00Aaron doesn't have any special antibodies.
01:00:02That is correct.
01:00:04So, what do we do? How can we-
01:00:07There's no cure. We can only mitigate symptoms.
01:00:09How?
01:00:11I think you know that too.
01:00:18I think you know that too.
01:00:21Um, is there somebody we should call?
01:00:25You.
01:00:28I want it to be you.
01:00:31Only you.
01:00:33Let's clear you guys out of this room.
01:00:40Go ahead.
01:00:43Or have you okay.
01:00:46It's די
01:00:47Do I
01:00:48go in? Yeah.
01:01:02They all
01:01:02take care? Yeah.
01:01:02cold. Sometimes they
01:01:09take a good drink, they're like the maybe a little bit of a flu? No.
01:01:10It's okay.
01:01:11Anyway, so the
01:01:58I almost had them.
01:02:00You're welcome.
01:02:01Well, if it's my ability to chase suspects and your ability to open doors, maybe we can
01:02:07pave the way for better international relations.
01:02:10Maybe.
01:02:11If you'd stop playing on Leah.
01:02:13Maybe.
01:02:15If she asked me to.
01:02:17So, where is she?
01:02:20With Aaron.
01:02:32It's inferior to Lizagorti, you know.
01:02:36Don't make me open a door on you two.
01:02:52How are you feeling?
01:02:54Better.
01:02:56Thanks to Leah.
01:02:58Good.
01:03:00But I still need to get you checked out.
01:03:02I called the doctor and she's going to meet you at home when you arrive.
01:03:06Um, I'll be right back.
01:03:10You love him.
01:03:11I do.
01:03:12And I wish you the best.
01:03:15It's been an honor serving you both.
01:03:20So, what happens now?
01:03:22Well, Lady Tiffany has decided to remain in Rozeal with you and placing her safety in the hands
01:03:30of your Major General.
01:03:32But, what about you?
01:03:34I'll see what good I can do in Lizagor.
01:03:36You may be in chaos now, but I'll always remain loyal to the royal family.
01:03:43Thank you for everything you've done for me and for my family.
01:03:47Goodbye, Princess.
01:03:56Princess, should I be worried?
01:03:59It's a long story.
01:04:00I'll tell you about it when we get home.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:03But, before there's any other misunderstandings, I want to make something clear.
01:04:08About what?
01:04:10Leah, I love you.
01:04:13I know that might seem sudden, but it's not.
01:04:18Look, over everything we've been through the last few weeks, I just...
01:04:21I just want to ensure that there are not any misunderstandings.
01:04:28I'm so in love with you.
01:04:30I know, and I have been, for a long time.
01:04:35I want you to know.
01:04:37I want everyone to know that.
01:04:44Leah, please say something.
01:04:45I love you.
01:04:49I love you, too.
01:04:52In that case, shall we let the world know?
01:05:04Leah Jenkins?
01:05:06Will you marry me?
01:05:09Yes.
01:05:10Yes.
01:05:11Oh, my God.
01:05:11Yes.
01:05:14Oh, my God.
01:05:39Hi, General. I didn't realize I'd be seeing you in person today.
01:05:43The situation called for, Lieutenant. You and the Major General have cause to be proud.
01:05:48Thank you, sir.
01:05:53Major General Aaron Harrell, I am here on behalf of Ruan Seal itself to congratulate you on completing your mission.
01:05:59and ensuring the safety of our people.
01:06:01The honor's mine, High General Shang.
01:06:03When you first undertook this task, I conferred with my fellow elders.
01:06:07We had faith in your success, and thus already had in mind the next mission that we wished to offer
01:06:12you.
01:06:18We have an undercover mission overseas.
01:06:22We need someone who is truly capable to investigate a colony in Ithbek.
01:06:26High General, I thank you.
01:06:29I do, but I already know I cannot accept.
01:06:33You can't?
01:06:38An undercover mission to Ithbek would interfere with planning my wedding.
01:06:44Your...
01:06:46Oh, I see. The utmost congratulations to you, Major General. May you both flourish.
01:07:01Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:06Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:06Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:08Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:08Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:11Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:16Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:21Going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:33You
