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, but I know you only probably got the position early because your father's health failed.
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?
00:01:34Well, 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.
00:01:58I'm sorry I'm late.
00:01:59I was turning in my paper.
00:02:01You'll just have to catch up with us.
00:02:03Hey.
00:02:04This 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.
00:02:14At your father's funeral.
00:02:15I'm so sorry.
00:02:17Don't worry about it.
00:02:18I'm over it.
00:02:19But he's your dad.
00:02:20Was 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.
00:02:36He has no time for me.
00:02:38Calm down, Benzel.
00:02:40I 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 and Lisa Gore 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.
00:03:32You should show him your appreciation for all 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.
00:04:29What'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
00:04:40the chemical composition which determine it's a Class VII.
00:04:44Damn it!
00:04:46What can you tell me about this mesmer?
00:04:48It's fast acting, and it was originally developed as a date rape drug.
00:05:01It 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.
00:05:32So 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.
00:05:44And 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.
00:05:56So pretty.
00:05:57We need a doctor!
00:05:59Mesmer!
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.
00:06:41before.
00:06:41We haven't talked about her love life in over a year.
00:06:45I have a suggestion.
00:06:47Maybe.
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.
00:06:55I want it to be you.
00:06:59Only 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.
00:07:22I'll be outside.
00:07:23Oh shit.
00:07:23Let's begin.
00:07:42Let me get a look.
00:07:45Ah.
00:07:47You love me.
00:07:49Oh shit.
00:07:52I'm bored.
00:07:56Don't worry.
00:07:57I got just the thing.
00:07:59This has all the benefits, and none of the drawbacks.
00:08:03I'll even throw it in for free.
00:08:05Ooh.
00:08:19Hey, you want to 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, but I do have a couple of friends who are more than willing to help
00:08:35you out.
00:08:35For 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!
00:09:08Authority Sector is securing the area!
00:09:18Last 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, Gary?
00:09:46Erin better not have anything to do with this.
00:09:53I'm afraid that Major General Erin Harold was in charge of the Raid Mom.
00:09:57It appears that Miss Stella is being held in the same facility as last time.
00:10:02Call the lawyers.
00:10:06Yeah, thanks for the update.
00:10:08And send Leah, my love, uh, let her know. I will call and check on her. Later.
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? Like she was a common criminal? It was an
00:10:54embarrassment.
00:10:54I'm sure it isn't Erin's fault. I know. I put myself in a vulnerable situation.
00:11:04Sometimes I just get so upset about Eddie's death. I just... I miss him so much.
00:11:12I'll see what I can do.
00:11:15Very well then. In 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. You 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 you. Lucky?
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. I 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. Thank you.
00:12:30Anything 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.
00:12:53Okay, I remember going to find you guys, and I remember asking him something, but I want to know what...
00:13:02We seized the contraband, but we failed to ID the ringleader. We know he got away.
00:13:09It wasn't what I was asking. I mean, it was, but it's not what I want to know first.
00:13:16I know.
00:13:18But 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.
00:14:04Professor 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.
00:14:32It's just a pity that he can't even exert a little influence to help you when some professor is giving
00:14:37you a hard time.
00:14:39It's not fair.
00:14:40But you know, it strikes me, I don't know you as well as I ought.
00:14:45After all, you are Aaron's family, and who knows what the future holds.
00:14:52So, in order for bygones to be bygones, I got you a gift.
00:14:56Oh, there's no need.
00:14:57I don't have it with me now, but how about I stop by Aaron's house and say an hour?
00:15:03Honestly, 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.
00:15:38liah!
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.
00:15:54Oh, poor thing.
00:15:57It appears my gift is more needed than I thought.
00:16:03Uh, 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-
00:16:48Excuse me.
00:16:52I thought Leah and I could take a date of 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?
00:17:09Leah makes mistakes like anyone else.
00:17:11Please ask that you give her the benefit of the doubt.
00:17:13And you're gonna tell her the same thing?
00:17:15Yes.
00:17:20Sorry, I have to go.
00:17:22We'll talk later.
00:17:31Yeah, um, we're just gonna go- go do the thing.
00:17:35Yeah, because we had a thing to do later.
00:17:38And now it's later.
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.
00:17:56He always knew that he'd become part of the family one day.
00:17:59I just didn't think he'd die before he got the chance to see it happen.
00:18:03And I understand that Aaron needs some time to 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.
00:18:24What 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.
00:18:31Point is that we've all had inappropriate relationships.
00:18:35Inappropriate?
00:18:36I know I'm not that much older than you, so it can seem a little weird, but I can keep
00:18:41a secret.
00:18:42I'm here to support you because you are Aaron's family. And I think he's gonna miss you once you're gone.
00:18:51When I'm what?
00:18:56When I'm what?
00:18:59Gone. At least, I assume you'll be able to go. That's every goal for a serious university student, right? Go
00:19:07out 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. Well, my bad. I thought that D was a fluke. I just know that striking out on your own
00:19:22can be really important.
00:19:23And you're gonna need distance. Especially if Aaron encouraged you.
00:19:29Oh, no. He's never...
00:19:31I didn't mean to imply that. No. Of course not. He's Aaron.
00:19:36Yeah. Right. No. I mean, he's always been like a, you know...
00:19:40Breathe. It's okay. Like a brother. I know.
00:19:45And, like, don't worry about the dress. I was mad about it before, but I'm not anymore.
00:20:20So, no, no.
00:20:23Mrs. Shelly invited me.
00:20:26She wasn't particularly happy about Stella's arrest,
00:20:28but I think the lunch is a chance to talk some things over.
00:20:31Well, her arrest was like five minutes long.
00:20:36This is Major General Shelly's family, Leah.
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
00:20:53before I started to feel that 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.
00:21:20So 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,
00:21:28but she's not our primary suspect.
00:21:31Who is?
00:21:32That TA who's been following you around.
00:21:35Brendan Martin.
00:21:39What? Brendan?
00:21:42Brendan?
00:21:44Are 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.
00:21:54He's handling a lot of people's drinks.
00:21:56And then he talks to you.
00:21:59Barely 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, and he wouldn't hurt me.
00:22:20How do you know that?
00:22:21Because 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, and 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.
00:23:10Now, Aaron, I'm glad you've taken the steps to make things right with Stella in the authority sector business the
00:23:17other day.
00:23:18Mrs. Shelley, I'm really sorry about-
00:23:19You're sorry for our loss, yes, 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.
00:23:50Mrs. 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.
00:24:05And she kept sniffing at her sleeves.
00:24:07When I ask, she babbled on about a wild night.
00:24:11And still having the smell of your cologne on her clothes.
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.
00:24:33Come 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.
00:25:05Um, 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.
00:25:21Ah, Leah, 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.
00:26:16What's been here?
00:26:21A bach.
00:26:47Mia, darling, we need to go now.
00:27:01What was that?
00:27:04What was that?
00:27:06Did that spark any memories?
00:27:09Uh, I 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.
00:27:53Now.
00:27:54We'll talk later.
00:27:57All right.
00:28:01I don't want that man in my house.
00:28:03Okay, you know what?
00:28:05Last 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?
00:28:12Little 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.
00:28:22No.
00:28:52Mama, where are you?
00:28:57Leah, darling, we need to go now.
00:29:01Yes, Mama.
00:29:13What 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.
00:29:56Fine.
00:30:03Leah.
00:30:17Leah.
00:30:19Leah.
00:30:22Leah.
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.
00:30:48Okay.
00:30:49Okay.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:51Okay.
00:30:51Okay.
00:30:52Okay.
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.
00:31:17I'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?
00:31:34And you had a pet frog named Mortimer.
00:31:39All my dreams are real.
00:31:41Do 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.
00:32:02Yeah.
00:32:03The easiest is to look for specific antibodies which can be traced back to the blood of the
00:32:08Lizagor family.
00:32:09Yeah.
00:32:09There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:32:12I'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 Lizagor was like before you left.
00:33:02Um.
00:33:03I lost my memories in an accident when I was seven.
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.
00:33:21And 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.
00:33:43And 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.
00:33:53And tell her the news.
00:33:56News?
00:33:57I found the lost princess.
00:33:59Oh, shh.
00:34:01Shh.
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.
00:34:11No.
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.
00:34:21He's quite protective of her.
00:34:23Oh, of course.
00:34:24We will show our gratitude on him as well.
00:34:27He won't have to worry about you anymore.
00:34:30Oh, your fiancé is more than capable of protecting you.
00:34:34My what?
00:34:35Your fiancé.
00:34:39Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:43No.
00:34:45Oh.
00:34:49I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:52I was getting to it.
00:34:55Brendan?
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 at 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, I 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, you 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.
00:36:32You got the wrong girl!
00:36:35Oh, but...
00:36:36You know, that's really rich.
00:36:38That's...
00:36:39That'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.
00:36:47I'm here to grab Stella Shelly.
00:36:50And that is 100% you.
00:36:55I gave you this damn assignment.
00:36:57Pick up target.
00:36:59Transport 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...
00:37:18That 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...
00:37:44You 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
00:38:02we were researching a few months back.
00:38:04Uh, henchman for hire?
00:38:07Still can't believe they went with that name.
00:38:09It's accurate.
00:38:17One of our guys cracked the encryption on one of their servers.
00:38:19Finally.
00:38:21We do have to move quickly.
00:38:23They 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.
00:38:56Somebody 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?
00:39:19Oh, 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.
00:39:45Ruben's a liar.
00:39:46Stop!
00:39:48Ruben 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 going to be an assassination attempt, Stella!
00:40:02So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:08So don't you ever say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:11I'm not feeling very protected at the moment, considering I'm still here.
00:40:14And the guy who did this to me is 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 what-
00:40:28Justice!
00:40:29I think it is.
00:40:31I think it is.
00:40:32I 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?
00:41:03That's hilarious.
00:41:05Walk into the beach pool.
00:41:06That's hilarious.
00:41:07So let's try this one more time.
00:41:14Huh?
00:41:15Okay
00:41:41Princess
00:41:46I don't see it.
00:41:55I should tell Aaron. He'll know what to do.
00:41:59You'll tell Aaron nothing.
00:42:08With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws,
00:42:11Lizagor's queen in exile has announced her intention to visit Rosal.
00:42:16The exact day and purpose is through Rinzi.
00:42:19I'm still on stakeout. No leads yet.
00:42:22Do you remember the cologne incident from seven years ago?
00:42:25The one involving your cousin? On your mother's side?
00:42:28Tyler, yes.
00:42:29Hard to forget. I 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,
00:42:39he wanted it for himself.
00:42:41But I'm not going to forget that he bought every last bottle of that cologne.
00:42:46Because...
00:42:47Because General Shelley recruited my help convincing the damn store
00:42:51to 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.
00:43:07I'm already checking the flight records.
00:43:09Oh 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.
00:43:32Damn 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.
00:43:40I 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.
00:43:57And now he could be the one who drugged Leah.
00:44:00Unconfirmed.
00:44:02But possible.
00:44:04Either way, the drugs were his.
00:44:08Yes.
00:44:20Wakey wakey.
00:44:22Ah.
00:44:23There you are.
00:44:25Aaron probably never mentioned me.
00:44:27He and I go way back.
00:44:28And as I told you, Miss Moffat.
00:44:32I know all about you.
00:44:34I wonder.
00:44:36Does 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 P's to his pod.
00:44:52And with a face like yours, gravitate indeed.
00:44:57Or so his type.
00:44:59But I bet he never mentioned that either.
00:45:02Propriety.
00:45:02Am 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.
00:46:31They'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.
00:46:43Ah!
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.
00:46:57That's what you get for being a smug pea in your provincial little pod.
00:47:01And where have you been?
00:47:03Uh, getting coffee.
00:47:05We can get you an extra if you want.
00:47:06Get into your positions.
00:47:08Slay.
00:47:11Aaron!
00:47:16Let 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.
00:47:40I 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?!
00:48:12AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
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.
00:48:21The 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.
00:48:46So Aaron here is just a little more worldly than everyone else.

00:57:17she was a fluke
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!
00:58:08See, she's safe, man.
00:58:17Come on, let's get you moved.
00:58:19Oh.
00:58:23Patience.
00:58:25Patience? Aaron could be in there dying and we're just sitting here watching and waiting. I 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 Ruben. You 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...
00:58:46Tyler.
00:58:50What was that for?
00:58:52Get out, you don't want him to see us.
00:58:54We can't let that bastard get away.
00:58:59I'm not. You're staying here where it's safe.
00:59:04Fine, but I'm doing this under protest.
00:59:05No protest noted. Now, stay here.
00:59:1697, 98, 99, 100.
00:59:22Oh.
00:59:32Aaron! Thank God!
00:59:34His skin is hypersensitive right now, and it's only going to get worse. I'm doing what I can to fix
00:59:40the wounds right now.
00:59:40Aaron?
00:59:42Oh, leave.
00:59:44Oh, you're so calm.
00:59:48Oh, sweet girl.
00:59:50He'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...
01:00:05What do we do? How can we...
01:00:07There's no cure.
01:00:08We can only mitigate symptoms.
01:00:09How?
01:00:11I think you know that too.
01:00:18I think you know that too.
01:00:22Um...
01:00:23Is there somebody we should call?
01:00:25You.
01:00:28I want it to be you.
01:00:30I want it to be you.
01:00:31Only you.
01:00:33Let's clear you guys out of this room.
01:00:40Uh...
01:00:40What?
01:00:41What?
01:00:56ACC,
01:00:58What?
01:01:13What, come on?
01:01:14You can?
01:01:14You can focus.
01:01:14Go ahead.
01:01:14Go ahead.
01:01:15You can, woman,
01:01:21go get a deep breath of me in
01:01:21Go ahead, man.
01:01:22That's okay.
01:01:22Okay.
01:01:26Well, someone,
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 Lizard Goytea, you know.
01:02:36Don't make me open a door on you too.
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.
01:03:26With you.
01:03:28And placing her safety in the hands of your Major General.
01:03:32But, what about you?
01:03:33I'll see what good I can do in Lizard Goytea.
01:03:36It 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?
01:04:09Yeah.
01:04:10I 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 unmarved with you.
01:04:30And I have been.
01:04:32For a long time.
01:04:35I want you to know.
01:04:37I want everyone to know that.
01:04:43Leah.
01:04:44Please say something.
01:04:45I love you.
01:04:49I love you too.
01:04:52In that case...
01:04:55Shall we let the world know?
01:05:04Leah Jenkins?
01:05:07Will you marry me?
01:05:09Yes.
01:05:10Yes.
01:05:11Oh my God, yes.
01:05:12No.
01:05:16No.
01:05:17No.
01:05:17No.
01:05:26No.
01:05:26No.
01:05:26No.
01:05:27No.
01:05:29No.
01:05:32No.
01:05:36No.
01:05:38No.
01:05:39No.
01:05:40No.
01:05:40No.
01:05:40No.
01:05:40No.
01:05:42No.
01:05:43person today. The situation called for it, Lieutenant. You and the Major General
01:05:47have cause to be proud. Thank you, sir.
01:05:53Major General Aaron Harrell, I am here on behalf of Ruat Seal itself to
01:05:57congratulate you on completing your mission and ensuring the safety of our
01:06:00people. The honor is mine, High General Shane. When you first undertook this task,
01:06:05I conferred with my fellow elders. We had faith in your success and thus already
01:06:10had in mind the next mission that we wish to offer you.
01:06:18We have an undercover mission overseas. We need someone who is truly capable to
01:06:24investigate a colony in Ithbeck. Hi, General. I thank you. I do, but I already know I
01:06:32cannot accept. You can't.
01:06:37An undercover mission to Ithbeck would interfere with planning my wedding.
01:06:44You were...
01:06:46Oh, I see. The utmost congratulations to you, Major General. May you both flourish.
01:07:01I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:07I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:25I'm going to have to sucker someone else into it. It's not looking at your
01:07:29covenant
01:07:29of prayer.
01:07:29So that's just the views of the eyes of the song I'm going to希 Pinterest.
01:07:29Actually, because there has been many worlds in this world.
01:07:29You are going to be like, you know, don't lose looks millions ever, but
01:07:30So that it's kind of important, we need to reach out.
01:07:35You
