00:04:39of it and the lab boffins determined there are markers in the chemical composition which determine
00:04:44it's a class seven damn it what can you tell me about this mesmer it's fast acting and it was
00:04:51originally developed as a date rape drug
00:05:02it raises libido lowers inhibition causes memory loss and induces a potentially fatal brain fever in the victim
00:05:09it also increases the sensitivity of the nerve receptors causing intense sensations of pain and pleasure
00:05:35you can't tell what's wrong at first after all starving is very different from just being a little hungry
00:05:45and if you suddenly become a bottomless pit of need you might just jump

00:07:59Don't worry.
00:08:00I got just the thing.
00:08:01This has all the benefits
00:08:03and none of the drawbacks.
00:08:06I'll even throw it in for free.
00:08:08Hmm.
00:08:20Hey.
00:08:22You want to help me ride for this trip?
00:08:24Sorry.
00:08:25I don't offer those services.
00:08:29You smell just like him.
00:08:33I've got places to go,
00:08:35but I do have a couple of friends
00:08:36who are more than willing to help you out.
00:08:38For a price.
00:08:40Friends.
00:08:42Plural.
00:08:50It was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:09:09Everyone freeze!
00:09:10Authority sector is securing the area!
00:09:20Last night, the authority sector proceeded with a drug bust at a bar in the East End.
00:09:25Your excuse, Gary.
00:09:26They report that while their seizure of the drugs was successful,
00:09:30the leader of the ring remains at large.
00:09:32His true name still a mystery.
00:09:34One of the people arrested at the scene
00:09:36is the daughter of a recently fallen major general.
00:09:40University student Stella Shelley remains held for questioning.
00:09:45What?
00:09:46How dare they?
00:09:47Gary!
00:09:49Aaron better not have anything to do with this.
00:09:56Mrs. Shelley.
00:09:58What may I do for you?
00:09:59You can begin by explaining why you had my daughter arrested.
00:10:02Especially after you promised my husband that you'd take care of us.
00:10:06You know I can't comment on ongoing authority sector investigations.
00:10:10At the time of the arrest,
00:10:11I was unaware of Stella's presence at the site.
00:10:15Be that as it may,
00:10:16you could have done something to prevent her name from being released to the press.
00:10:19Do you know how I felt?
00:10:21Hearing about my daughter's arrest,
00:10:23like she was a common criminal,
00:10:25it was an embarrassment.
00:10:26I'm sure it isn't Aaron's fault.
00:10:30I know.
00:10:31I put myself in a vulnerable situation.
00:10:35Sometimes,
00:10:36I just get so upset about Teddy's death.
00:10:38I just...
00:10:41I miss him so much.
00:10:44See what I can do.
00:10:47Very well then.
00:10:48In the meantime,
00:10:49you must come to lunch at our place.
00:10:51Just to show we've put this shameful business behind us.
00:10:55Certainly.
00:11:09What happened?
00:11:11You were right, Ms. Jenkins.
00:11:13You had a very harsh encounter with a class 7 drug.
00:11:16We just got the blood test result back.
00:11:19When we got the result back,
00:11:21we also found some antibodies that's fighting the after-effect of the drug.
00:11:32Lucky you.
00:11:33Lucky?
00:11:34Yes.
00:11:37Most people would need to be held for observation for weeks,
00:11:40but you're almost good as new.
00:11:41I am?
00:11:42Yes.
00:11:43Yes.
00:11:43I actually did a paper on this condition back in school.
00:11:46There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:11:50There's the monks of Ithbac,
00:11:52the old ostocracy of Lissagor,
00:11:54and the nudist calling it.
00:11:57In...
00:11:57If you're done with your examination,
00:11:59I'll see the two of you out.
00:12:01Anything for the Major General.
00:12:33I want to know what...
00:12:34We seized the contraband,
00:12:36but we failed to ID the ringleader.
00:12:39We know he got away.
00:12:41Wasn't what I was asking.
00:12:43I mean, it was,
00:12:44but it's not what I want to know first.
00:12:48I know.
00:12:50But you were in trouble,
00:12:51and we were short on time.
00:12:54Aaron did what he had to do.
00:12:57Hey, we never have to talk about this again.
00:13:04Don't we?
00:13:20What are you doing?
00:13:21I wanted to talk to you after class.
00:13:23What?
00:13:24So you can criticize me
00:13:25about how I'm not taking my studies seriously enough?
00:13:27Yeah.
00:13:27No thanks.
00:13:28You actually made some good points in your paper.
00:13:30You just,
00:13:30you didn't go far enough.
00:13:31You didn't cover half the required topics,
00:13:33and between that and the grammar,
00:13:34I just couldn't give you a better grade.
00:13:36Professor Olson hasn't looked at the grades yet.
00:13:38I could temporarily lose your paper
00:13:41for a couple of days
00:13:42and give you the opportunity to rewrite it.
00:13:45Really?
00:13:46Thank you so much.
00:13:48I'm going to get started right away.
00:13:53Hey.
00:13:55Tough teachers are a bummer.
00:13:57Oh, that.
00:13:58That was entirely my fault.
00:14:00Oh, really?
00:14:01Well, Aaron recently helped me out
00:14:03with a difficult situation.
00:14:05It's just a pity that he can't even exert
00:14:07a little influence to help you
00:14:08when some professor is giving you a hard time.
00:14:11It's not fair.
00:14:13Do you know?
00:14:14It strikes me.
00:14:15I don't know you as well as I ought.
00:14:18After all, you are Aaron's family,
00:14:20and who knows what the future holds.
00:14:23So,
00:14:24in order for bygones to be bygones,
00:14:27I got you a gift.
00:14:28Oh, there's no need.
00:14:30I don't have it with me now,
00:14:32but how about I stop by Aaron's house
00:14:34and say an hour?
00:14:35Honestly, we're good.
00:14:38So ungrateful.
00:14:41Stuck up bitch.
00:14:47How's two or three sound?
00:14:48Oh, perfect.
00:14:52Toodles.
00:15:10Leah!
00:15:12So good of you to wait for me.
00:15:13I didn't think you were still coming.
00:15:16I would never break my word.
00:15:28Oh, poor thing.
00:15:30It appears my gift is more needed than I thought.
00:15:35Uh, thank you.
00:15:37I'm sorry.
00:15:38I really think you should go.
00:15:39I've got some homework to get back to.
00:15:41Oh, don't be ridiculous.
00:15:43I want to see how it fits.
00:15:58Aaron!
00:15:59Stella.
00:16:00Didn't expect to see you here.
00:16:01I hope we're still on for lunch tomorrow.
00:16:03Yeah, that's fine.
00:16:05Awesome.
00:16:05We'll be all so excited to see you.
00:16:09Oh my god, what'd you do to it?
00:16:11No, it was already like this.
00:16:13I just came out to show you.
00:16:14If you didn't like it, you could just say so.
00:16:16Or just accept it and not wear it.
00:16:19I'm going to sleep.
00:16:20What?
00:16:20No, I...
00:16:22Excuse me.
00:16:26I thought Leah and I could take a day to bond.
00:16:28After all, she and I both went through something so terrible.
00:16:33But it's like...
00:16:34Like she blames me or something, you know?
00:16:38But you would know better than that.
00:16:40Don't you, Aaron?
00:16:42Leah makes mistakes like anyone else.
00:16:44I would please ask that you give her the benefit of the doubt.
00:16:47And you're going to tell her the same thing?
00:16:48Yes.
00:16:53Sorry, I have to go.
00:16:55We'll talk later.
00:17:04Yeah, um, we're just gonna go...
00:17:07Go do the thing.
00:17:09Yeah, because we had a thing to do later.
00:17:12And now it's later.
00:17:21I know I was short with you at my dad's funeral.
00:17:25It's okay.
00:17:27It's not.
00:17:28Daddy loved Aaron.
00:17:30He always knew that he'd become part of the family one day.
00:17:33I just didn't think he'd die before he got the chance to see it happen.
00:17:37And I understand that Aaron needs some time to grieve before he and I can really become an us.
00:17:44You and Aaron?
00:17:46Look, I get it.
00:17:47More than you know.
00:17:49He's taken such good care of you.
00:17:51And he's strong.
00:17:53Powerful.
00:17:55Not to mention his...
00:17:57Everything.
00:17:57What are you talking about?
00:17:59For some of us, it's a babysitter.
00:18:01For others, it's a teacher.
00:18:03Or your mom's boy toy.
00:18:05Point is that we've all had inappropriate relationships.
00:18:09Inappropriate?
00:18:10I know I'm not that much older than you, so it can seem a little weird, but I can keep
00:18:15a secret.
00:18:15I'm here to support you because you are Aaron's family.
00:18:19And I think he's gonna miss you once you're gone.
00:18:25When I'm... what?
00:18:31When I'm... what?
00:18:33Gone.
00:18:34At least, I assume you'll be able to go.
00:18:37That's every goal for Sirius University students, right?
00:18:41Go out in the world and work your own field.
00:18:44Yeah, I mean, I don't have any post-graduation plans yet.
00:18:48Okay.
00:18:50Well, my bad.
00:18:52I thought that D was a fluke.
00:18:53I just know that striking out on your own can be really important.
00:18:58And you're gonna need distance.
00:19:00Especially if Aaron encouraged you.
00:19:03Oh, no.
00:19:04He's never...
00:19:05I didn't mean to imply that.
00:19:07No.
00:19:07Of course not.
00:19:08He's Aaron.
00:19:10Yeah, right.
00:19:11No.
00:19:11I mean, he's always been like a...
00:19:13You know...
00:19:14Breathe.
00:19:15It's okay.
00:19:17Like a brother.
00:19:18I know.
00:19:19And, like, don't worry about the dress.
00:19:21I was mad about it before, but I'm mad anymore.
00:19:53I was mad about it before.
00:19:54I was mad about the lunch with you and Stella tomorrow.
00:19:56Uh, Mrs. Shelley invited me.
00:20:00She wasn't particularly happy about Stella's arrest, but I think the lunch is a chance to
00:20:04talk some things over.
00:20:05Well, her arrest was, like, five minutes long.
00:20:10This is Major General Shelley's family, Leah.
00:20:15He was dying when he asked me to take care of them.
00:20:18Going to lunch?
00:20:19That's, like, the least I can do.
00:20:21No.
00:20:21Yeah.
00:20:22I know that.
00:20:24But I also know that Stella was one of the last people I talked to before I started to feel
00:20:30that drug.
00:20:31But here's to being appreciated for all our hard work.
00:20:42Do you think she did it?
00:20:44I think it's possible.
00:20:45Are you certain?
00:20:47No.
00:20:51You weren't the only one under the influence of something like that.
00:20:54So was Stella.
00:20:56Granted, she might have taken it herself.
00:20:59And I can understand why she might not want to admit that.
00:21:02But she's not our primary suspect.
00:21:05Who is?
00:21:06That TA who's been following you around?
00:21:10Brendan Martin?
00:21:13What?
00:21:14Brendan?
00:21:17Brendan?
00:21:18Are you serious?
00:21:20Yeah.
00:21:21Take a look.
00:21:24Security footage has him at the scene right before the raid.
00:21:27Look, he's exiting.
00:21:28He's handling a lot of people's drinks.
00:21:31And then he talks to you.
00:21:33Barely a minute before you came to me.
00:21:35Brendan's not a criminal.
00:21:37His documentation has a lot of holes in it, Leah.
00:21:40Okay, well, that's what happens when you're a refugee from another country.
00:21:43Aren't you the one who told me that?
00:21:44Yes.
00:21:45But that's also what happens when you're a spy.
00:21:48Or, or, when you work for the biggest drug ring in Brazil.
00:21:51He does not work for a drug ring.
00:21:53And he wouldn't hurt me.
00:21:54How do you know that?
00:21:55Because he's my friend.
00:22:00I don't agree with you about Brendan.
00:22:04But I know you always have my best interests at heart, so.
00:22:08Always.
00:22:09I don't like when we fight like this.
00:22:12Me neither.
00:22:14Hey, do you remember when we used to have movie nights?
00:22:17Yeah.
00:22:18You hogged all the popcorn?
00:22:19I did not.
00:22:19But I will make the popcorn if you choose the movie.
00:22:33Stella, pour me some tea.
00:22:35Why?
00:22:36Gary has the day off.
00:22:37Also, hand me the report behind you.
00:22:44Now, Aaron, I'm glad you've taken the steps to make things right with Stella in the authority sector business the
00:22:52other day.
00:22:53Mrs. Shelley, I'm really sorry about...
00:22:54You're sorry for our loss.
00:22:56Yes, I know.
00:22:58And you miss my husband, too.
00:23:01Joseph was always a workaholic.
00:23:03So, as a fellow Major General, you knew him better than any of us.
00:23:07If there's anything that I can do...
00:23:08Oh, there is.
00:23:10You promised to take care of Stella and to look after our family.
00:23:14Yes.
00:23:15I intend for you to honor that promise.
00:23:18Especially since you slept with my daughter shortly before arresting her.
00:23:22What?
00:23:23Be quiet, Stella.
00:23:25Mrs. Shelley, I did not.
00:23:27I know a man of your position can never admit to such a thing out loud.
00:23:30But let us be clear on what I do know.
00:23:33Stella was quite loose-lipped when I picked her up from the facility.
00:23:36She smelled of, well, certain liberties.
00:23:40And she kept sniffing at her sleeves.
00:23:42When I asked, she babbled on about a wild night.
00:23:46And still having the smell of your cologne on her clothes.
00:23:50I know my daughter might not be so forthcoming at the moment.
00:23:53But she was in no shape to lie to me then.
00:23:56So, by all means, deny what you must.
00:23:59Just so long as you make good on your promises.
00:24:08Come in.
00:24:10Here's my paper.
00:24:12Thank you for the second chance.
00:24:13Yeah.
00:24:14Have a seat.
00:24:16It looks better already.
00:24:18Did you learn anything interesting about Lisandor?
00:24:20It's like our professor said in class.
00:24:23There are always multiple reasons for conflict, but I just feel bad for the royal family.
00:24:29How so?
00:24:30It seems like they were governing responsibly, and then out of nowhere, bam, civil war.
00:24:35They disappear.
00:24:39Wait.
00:24:41Do you have any memories from before you were adopted?
00:24:44Who told you I was adopted?
00:24:47I can't really explain.
00:24:49Not here.
00:24:49It's not secure enough.
00:24:51I can show you.
00:24:52Come with me.
00:24:53Please.
00:24:54I'm not going anywhere with you.
00:24:56Oh.
00:24:58Leah, it's...
00:25:00It's important.
00:25:02Please.
00:25:03I don't mean you any harm.
00:25:05I just...
00:25:06really need you to trust me.
00:25:09Please.
00:25:11Fine. But I'm not going to some secondary location with you. You can come to my house.
00:25:17Aaron will be there, so no funny business.
00:25:20Alright. I'll see you in an hour.
00:25:45You got buried treasure in there?
00:25:47Of a sort. This is yours.
00:25:52What's in here?
00:25:56A box.
00:26:23Nia, Dali, we need to go now.
00:26:37What was that?
00:26:40What was that?
00:26:42Did that spark any memories?
00:26:45Uh, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:26:49Do you remember who gave you the doll?
00:26:53Your mother.
00:26:54My mother is dead.
00:26:57Why are you doing this?
00:27:00Leah.
00:27:00Please don't touch me.
00:27:04Touch her again, and I'll kill you.
00:27:06How long have you been following us?
00:27:08Why did you give her the drugs?
00:27:10I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
00:27:13Get off me.
00:27:14Calm down. I'm fine.
00:27:15You didn't sound fine.
00:27:17I was upset, but not with him.
00:27:19At least, not enough for this.
00:27:22I invited him over.
00:27:23I don't need you to play knight in shining armor.
00:27:27I need you to leave.
00:27:29Now.
00:27:30We'll talk later.
00:27:33Alright.
00:27:37I don't want that man in my house.
00:27:40Okay.
00:27:40You know what?
00:27:41Last time I checked, this was my house, too.
00:27:43He's been spying on you.
00:27:45And he's working for the ring.
00:27:47Who told you that?
00:27:48Little miss, I can do no wrong, Stella.
00:27:50Oh, leave her out of this.
00:27:51Why?
00:27:52What are you gonna do?
00:27:53Marry her?
00:27:54What?
00:27:55No.
00:27:56Well, you might want to tell her that.
00:28:05You've got to do nothing wrong.
00:28:07What?
00:28:15I want to tell her that it's just dark.
00:28:16No, she's never gonna do nothing.
00:28:18Yes, she has to be treacherous.
00:28:23I'm so sorry.
00:28:27No.
00:28:27We'll do nothing wrong.
00:28:28I'm so sorry.
00:28:29Mama, where are you?
00:28:33Leah, darling, we need to go now.
00:28:38Yes, Mama.
00:28:49What is it?
00:28:50Please come meet with me. It's urgent.
00:28:54I told you, I need time.
00:28:57I know, but there isn't any more time.
00:28:59I need you to meet me at the airport lot.
00:29:01I'm not going to leave the country with you.
00:29:04It's nothing like that.
00:29:05I need your help to welcome someone.
00:29:08Please. It's important.
00:29:20I need sleep.
00:29:21Meet me in the morning, then.
00:29:23The flight arrives in four hours.
00:29:24You have time for three more hours of rest.
00:29:26I have a headache.
00:29:28You can earn extra credit for the class.
00:29:32Fine.
00:29:41Leah.
00:29:44Leah.
00:29:54Leah.
00:29:56Leah.
00:29:59Leah.
00:30:04Oh my God.
00:30:08She's fine.
00:30:10She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:14Did she say what kind of errand it was?
00:30:15No.
00:30:17Okay.
00:30:25Okay.
00:30:33Man, please tell me we have something on my damn cousin and that damn drug ring.
00:30:37I'm afraid not, boss.
00:30:41However, we did find something interesting regarding something else entirely.
00:30:54I'm not committing to anything.
00:30:57You know, for all I know, they're just weird dreams.
00:31:00Do you want to tell me about your dreams?
00:31:02When we were kids, did we used to play together?
00:31:12And you had a pet frog named Mortimer.
00:31:16All my dreams are real.
00:31:18Do you have any other memories?
00:31:22Maybe of your family?
00:31:23Yes, Mama.
00:31:24Just a soft voice.
00:31:27Reminders to sit up straight.
00:31:30Rule wisely.
00:31:32That's right.
00:31:32You're a princess, Leah.
00:31:34A princess?
00:31:36It can't be.
00:31:38There are tests that can prove it.
00:31:40The easiest is to look for specific antibodies which can be traced back to the blood of the
00:31:45Lizagor family.
00:31:46There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:31:50I'm immune to the after effects of class 7 drugs.
00:31:55Are you certain?
00:31:57Help me.
00:31:59Still processing?
00:32:01Understatement.
00:32:08You've been waiting a long time to do that.
00:32:10Waiting a long time for it to mean something.
00:32:12Who are we meeting?
00:32:13Lady Tiffany Altamund.
00:32:15Queen of Lizagor.
00:32:18Your mother.
00:32:19Mama.
00:32:20Leah.
00:32:22Your Majesty.
00:32:23Your Highness.
00:32:24We ought to move somewhere more private.
00:32:30Yep.
00:32:31Excuse me.
00:32:35I suppose you were too young to remember what Lizagor was like before you left.
00:32:39Um, I lost my memories in an accident when I was seven.
00:32:44Oh.
00:32:45There was a coup following a bloody civil war.
00:32:48Your father and I, we feared for your safety.
00:32:52We sent you out of the country ahead of the rest of the family.
00:32:56But word of your escape got to our enemies.
00:33:11Once Lady Tiffany and Lord Edmund were trapped in the country as political prisoners, no other allies could contact them.
00:33:16Lord Edmund?
00:33:18Lord Edmund?
00:33:18Your father.
00:33:20He was a good man and a brave one.
00:33:23He loved you very much.
00:33:27What happened to him?
00:33:28He died in prison.
00:33:29Two years ago, I was able to find Lady Tiffany and tell her the news.
00:33:34News?
00:33:35I found the lost princess.
00:33:37Oh, shh.
00:33:39Shh, darling.
00:33:40We can be a family from S'more.
00:33:43No.
00:33:44No, I have a family.
00:33:45Aaron.
00:33:46Yes, of course, the Jenkins.
00:33:47We will never forget the Jenkins.
00:33:49No.
00:33:50No.
00:33:50Aaron.
00:33:51He needs to know.
00:33:52Oh, I...
00:33:52Who?
00:33:53Aaron Harold.
00:33:55He took Leigh in after the Jenkins died.
00:33:59He's quite protective of it.
00:34:01Oh, of course.
00:34:02We will show our gratitude on him as well.
00:34:05He won't have to worry about you anymore.
00:34:08Oh, your fiancé is more than capable of protecting you.
00:34:12My what?
00:34:14Your fiancé.
00:34:17Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:21No.
00:34:23Oh.
00:34:27I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:31I was getting to it.
00:34:33Brendan?
00:34:34My defense, Your Majesty.
00:34:36You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:34:39What is this supposed to do?
00:34:40It is one of our oldest traditions for the Heir of the Crown to marry a friend born into the
00:34:46espionage sector.
00:34:48The curriculum of this place is a bit lacking, I'm afraid.
00:34:52It makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:02Yes?
00:35:03Stella, I require an update on Aaron.
00:35:05I want a timeline on your nuptials.
00:35:07It's not that easy, Mom.
00:35:09I'm sorry.
00:35:10Do you wish to find yourself pregnant and destitute in a West End back alley?
00:35:15Just because I can't get a Major General to marry me right away, it doesn't mean that nobody would at
00:35:20all.
00:35:20I guarantee every woman trapped in that back alley told herself the same thing.
00:35:25No excuses, Stella.
00:35:27I've just got to take care of that via first.
00:35:31I've got a plan to show her that I need business.
00:35:33You should already be on the next step.
00:35:36I'm working on Aaron, okay?
00:35:38Is this going to take me?
00:35:41Stella, you will say goodbye to your mother properly, young lady.
00:35:47Oh, it's going to look great.
00:35:50You like that?
00:35:51Oh, that's nice.
00:35:52That's nice.
00:36:00Damn, I'm forgetting something.
00:36:03I'm forgetting something.
00:36:07You idiot.
00:36:09I was the one who hired you.
00:36:10You got the wrong girl.
00:36:13Oh, man.
00:36:15You know, that's really rich.
00:36:17That's a good one.
00:36:18I've never heard that before.
00:36:20That's cute, even.
00:36:21I was not...
00:36:22Listen.
00:36:23I got my marching orders, Missy.
00:36:25I'm here to grab Stella Shelley.
00:36:29And that is 100% you.
00:36:33I gave you this damn assignment.
00:36:36Pick up Target.
00:36:37Transport gagged in car.
00:36:39Tie up in public space.
00:36:42Beat breadcrumbs.
00:36:43And dress up with humiliating message.
00:36:47Oh, my God.
00:36:49I did not mean breadcrumbs literally.
00:36:53A, you just described our whole morning, so that means nothing to me, okay?
00:36:58And B, I ain't getting paid to be creative.
00:37:01Overpriced tax!
00:37:04Why do young people got to take things so personally?
00:37:09Last step.
00:37:12Humiliating message.
00:37:14Hmm.
00:37:18My fiancé is a major general.
00:37:21And once he hears about this, you are done!
00:37:27Oh, I'm scared.
00:37:30Let's do it.
00:37:33Get this off of me.
00:37:34No.
00:37:39You may recall a black market site we were researching a few months back?
00:37:44Uh, Henchman for Hire?
00:37:46I still can't believe they went with that name.
00:37:48It's accurate.
00:37:56One of our guys cracked the encryption on one of their servers.
00:37:59Finally.
00:38:00We do have to move quickly.
00:38:02They have a rather disturbing policy when it comes to compromised accounts.
00:38:07Its automation is finicky.
00:38:10Can we hack it?
00:38:11Maybe.
00:38:12But I'd rather we handle this one personally.
00:38:14There's some prominent people who've been using their services.
00:38:21I'd ask you if you were sure about this.
00:38:24But it's already in progress.
00:38:28I'm sure.
00:38:29And I'm not sorry.
00:38:35Somebody help me, please!
00:38:36Oh my god, Aaron.
00:38:38I'm so glad to see you.
00:38:44I'm so glad to see you.
00:38:47You have to get the guy who did this to me.
00:38:49You have to arrest him.
00:38:53Aaron.
00:38:55Aaron, are you hearing me?
00:38:58Oh, I hear you.
00:39:00And I will.
00:39:02Do you know what happens when Henchman for Hire servers detect authority sector tampering with a client's accounts?
00:39:09No.
00:39:10How would I know if-
00:39:11Flag the potentially compromised clients' accounts and flag them for death?
00:39:17I don't see how this is relevant to me, Aaron.
00:39:21Ruben cut the funding to your accounts before he realized.
00:39:24Ruben's a liar.
00:39:25Stop!
00:39:27Ruben has never lied to me.
00:39:31And he never will.
00:39:33And besides, you're missing the point.
00:39:36Um, what's the point?
00:39:38This was originally going to be an assassination attempt.
00:39:41Stop!
00:39:42So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:39:47So don't you ever say that I didn't protect you.
00:39:51I'm not feeling very protected at the moment, considering I'm still here.
00:39:54And the guy who did this to me is still out there.
00:39:58We found a way to redirect the system.
00:40:01Got it to select the most recent assignment that you had assigned to it instead.
00:40:06That-
00:40:07That is not-
00:40:08Justice!
00:40:09I think it is.
00:40:11I think watching what you had planned for Leah done to you,
00:40:16I think that's beyond justice.
00:40:19I think that's mercy.
00:40:22And this is the final mercy that you or your family will ever get from me.
00:40:38Let's try this one more time.
00:40:40Huh?
00:41:03Let's try this one more time.
00:41:21Princess?
00:41:26I don't see it.
00:41:35I should tell Aaron.
00:41:37He'll know what to do.
00:41:39You'll tell Aaron nothing.
00:41:48With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws,
00:41:52Lizagor's queen in exile has announced her intention to visit Razil.
00:41:56The exact day and purpose is through Rincey.
00:41:59I'm still on stakeout.
00:42:01No leads yet.
00:42:03Do you remember the cologne incident from seven years ago?
00:42:05The one involving your cousin?
00:42:07On your mother's side?
00:42:09Tyler, yes.
00:42:10Hard to forget.
00:42:11I was grateful he got kicked out before Leah had to meet him.
00:42:14Are you sure that I got the last crate?
00:42:16Aaron, when that petty little shit learned you how to favorite anything, he wanted it for himself.
00:42:21But I'm not going to forget that he bought every last bottle of that cologne.
00:42:26Because General Shelley recruited my help convincing the damn store to make one last run of the stuff for you.
00:42:33I, uh, I didn't know that.
00:42:36Don't worry about it.
00:42:37I did it half for you and half out of spite.
00:42:41Someone who smelled like me kept Stella company the other night.
00:42:44And I need to know if that means what I think of me.
00:42:47I'm already checking the flight records.
00:42:50Aw, hell.
00:42:52He is here.
00:43:01Your cousin has been an infect in the past two years.
00:43:05And hasn't been to visit any monks.
00:43:07Not unless those monks were running a lot of drugs.
00:43:10Class 7, included.
00:43:12Damn it!
00:43:15I'm sorry, Aaron.
00:43:17I don't know why he didn't come up on the radar or the CSAT.
00:43:20I do.
00:43:26When my aunt and uncle left the country, their names were flagged for watch.
00:43:29But I argued with Major General Shelley that Tyler was too young to have his name marked with theirs.
00:43:34So Tyler raised no alarms when he crossed the border.
00:43:37And now he could be the one who drugged Leah.
00:43:40Unconfirmed.
00:43:42But possible.
00:43:45Either way, the drugs were his.
00:43:49Yes.
00:43:56Wakey-wakey. Ah, there you are.
00:44:01Aaron probably never mentioned me. He and I go way back. And as I told you, Miss Moffat,
00:44:08I know all about you. I wonder, does Aaron still make Ruben do his dirty work and pretend
00:44:15like it was an accident? He always was predictable like that. I reckon you're the same way. You
00:44:24know, he always did gravitate towards similar P's to his pod. And with a face like yours,
00:44:30gravitate indeed. Or so his type. But I bet he never mentioned that either. Propriety,
00:44:38am I right? Can't be seen taking advantage of the sad orphan and his upright, mature care.
00:44:44At least, that's the take ma'am, Mrs. Stella has been hammering home. What a gold digger.
00:44:51I admire that in a bitch. Oh, stop your fretting. You're a hostage. You've got, oh, a 40% chance
00:45:00of making it up to life. Most players make their cliché play and sacrifice their pawns. But
00:45:08the patient ones leave them perfectly positioned on the board to take advantage of the other
00:45:14guy. And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:23Are you ready for your close-up?
00:45:45Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive in my life. Now smile and say cheese.
00:45:54Yes. They're late. They're unprofessionally late. Makes a guy feel lonely. Hmm? Oh, right.
00:46:16You can't talk. Got anything to say? Who are you? Me? I'm the future general of Harold House.
00:46:30No. That's what you get for being a smoke-pia in your provincial little pod. And where have
00:46:39you been? Uh, getting coffee. Uh, we can get you an extra if you want. Get into your positions.
00:46:44Slight.
00:46:48Aaron!
00:46:53Let her go.
00:46:55I said if you came alone, you would see her alive. That doesn't mean I'm relinquishing bargaining
00:47:01chips at the start. Put them in the fun chair, boys.
00:47:09Do you want me to drop the search for you? For your drug ring?
00:47:13Wait, he's the-
00:47:14Yes, Miss Muffet. I know this one is shit at keeping you informed. But do try and keep up.
00:47:22You know, I want so much more. And you owe me so much more.
00:47:29I kept your name from being flagged.
00:47:31You kept mine! You turned me in!
00:47:34I turned your parents in.
00:47:36And me along with them.
00:47:37Oh, don't act so high and mighty about this now.
00:47:40You took my parents down that shithole! And you expect me to be grateful?
00:47:51Maybe I should thank you. After all, I did get to see the world because of you.
00:47:56Exile would do that to a kid.
00:47:59The jurisdiction of the law in these other countries is divided into little categories.
00:48:03They make their leaders earn every little last scrap of power.
00:48:08They can't even conceive of the absolute dominion that is the authority sector of Razul.
00:48:13And inheriting that kind of power.
00:48:15Passing it to a capable family member.
00:48:18Because you think you should trust family?
00:48:22Unthinkable.
00:48:23So, Aaron here is just a little more worldly than everyone else.
00:48:27Right?
00:48:28Go figure.
00:48:29Just a day in the middle.
00:48:29Man is lost the morning all day.
00:48:33On the top 11 for a fucking week.
00:48:44Come piace working on Titan Pro Aixòzie.
00:48:48We did it to полез three times.
00:48:52We did it to you.
00:49:05Oh, she's got it in a bitch after me.
00:49:07You hurt her, and you get nothing from me.
00:49:11And I know you want something from me.
00:49:14More than just my pain.
00:49:20You know what, Miss Muffet?
00:49:22You've officially gotten annoying.
00:49:28Erin and I are overdue for a private chat.
00:49:31And you have officially lost your fly-on-the-wall privileges.
00:49:42FYI, your personal hostage survival rate is dropping!
00:49:47You're insane!
00:49:52You're insane!
00:49:55That's what everyone says in the face of the devilish.
00:50:04Maybe I should go find her.
00:50:06No.
00:50:07This is a mother's duty.
00:50:12Affairs of the heart are complicated.
00:50:20Leah?
00:50:23Please.
00:50:25We can talk about that I was troubling you.
00:50:31Leah?
00:50:32Leah?
00:50:36Leah?
00:50:37Leah?
00:50:40Leah?
00:50:42Leah?
00:50:43Leah?
00:50:50Please, please, please, please.
00:50:53Don't come any closer!
00:50:55I'm armed!
00:50:59That ain't any way to greet your rescuer.
00:51:03Stop struggling.
00:51:04I don't want to cut you, okay?
00:51:05I'm not going anywhere without Erin.
00:51:07That's not an option.
00:51:08Whether you walk out on your own two feet, I carry you out.
00:51:12It's up to you.
00:51:14Look, you are the hope for people.
00:51:18It's my duty to protect you.
00:51:19I can't do that if you're off chasing gangsters and kidnappers without a plan.
00:51:24That doesn't matter.
00:51:25I can't just leave him here.
00:51:27Well, from what I know of Erin, he would not want you putting yourself in harm's way for his sake.
00:51:37Also, your mother is worried sick about you.
00:51:40She finally found her long-lost daughter, the last living member of her family,
00:51:44and you were kidnapped moments after reuniting.
00:51:48Her worst nightmares are coming true.
00:51:51Fine.
00:51:52But I am coming back for Erin.
00:51:56I expect nothing less, Your Highness.
00:52:12Oh, someone's looking a little less lost.
00:52:15You want me to abdicate his major journal in my house?
00:52:20And?
00:52:22And you want me to hand it over to you?
00:52:25See?
00:52:25Was that so hard?
00:52:30I am so sorry we couldn't get to you sooner,
00:52:33but since your father died, my contacts in Ruiz will have become scattered and limited.
00:52:37I'll be fine, but we need to...
00:52:40Oh, thankfully, I still have a few people I can trust.
00:52:43You've already met my driver, Alexei,
00:52:46and my valet, Ivan,
00:52:48and my dog, Walker, Boris,
00:52:50and, of course, Sir Brendan remains a most loyal and dedicated son of Lysagor.
00:52:55Mm-hmm.
00:52:56Mm-hmm.
00:52:57It's my honor to serve.
00:53:00And, fortunately, I'm just one man.
00:53:03Okay, enough.
00:53:04I can't sit here while Erin is in danger.
00:53:07Now, are you going to help me or not?
00:53:13It's gonna take time.
00:53:15We don't have time.
00:53:16Erin is always there for me,
00:53:18and now he needs me.
00:53:20I have to go.
00:53:22Of course, I wouldn't think of standing in your way,
00:53:25but the fact remains
00:53:26I have no more resources to give you.
00:53:30You have given me all I need.
00:53:33I have my own resources now.
00:53:38Ruben?
00:53:42You are my last blood relative, so I could install you,
00:53:45but no other major general is going to want to cooperate with you.
00:53:49Oh, I've got plans for that.
00:53:51I've got quite good at making plans.
00:53:53How do you like my little empire, by the way?
00:53:55It's a drug ring.
00:53:57It's the start of a kingdom,
00:53:59and one that would run much smoother
00:54:01if it wasn't forced to operate in the shadows.
00:54:03Doubling as local major general
00:54:05could make that happen.
00:54:08And I intend to use the damn position
00:54:11to make a lot of things happen.
00:54:14Unlike you, sitting on your arse
00:54:16while your underlings do their sad little attempts at a bust.
00:54:21Or should I say, topping out.
00:54:24What?
00:54:25Oh yes, cuz.
00:54:26I do know your dirt here is still a secret.
00:54:30I should.
00:54:31I helped make it happen.
00:54:43You son of a bitch!
00:54:45Our mothers are not fair game, Aaron.
00:54:48You set that rule when we were eight.
00:54:50Remember?
00:54:52It was you.
00:54:54It was Stella, but yes, it was me too.
00:54:58And it was a lot of fun to watch.
00:55:01General Shelley's daughter exploited the whole aftermath.
00:55:05I just kept habs.
00:55:08And you defended Stella, didn't you?
00:55:10Beautiful as ever.
00:55:13Of course you did.
00:55:15Ha!
00:55:16Damn!
00:55:17But if I could be a fly on that wall,
00:55:19watching you tell the girl who's in love with you
00:55:22that she has to take that bitch's shit.
00:55:26And after, you sought her out
00:55:28for the most vital ride of her life,
00:55:32Leah's not in love with me.
00:55:34Oh, you always were dense
00:55:37about the suffering of others.
00:55:42That's okay.
00:55:44I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:55:50I'm gonna help you walk a mile in her shoes.
00:55:53Oh, I'm gonna help you.
00:56:08Oh.
00:56:19Go to hell!
00:56:21If I bother, I intend to rule there too.
00:56:26You know, your little miss had me worried for a moment
00:56:29that I brought a bad badge across the border with me.
00:56:32She seemed to take forever to experience the side effects.
00:56:36Luckily, she was a fluke.
00:56:45Cut him loose, boys.
00:57:18Freeze!
00:57:24Should we fight them?
00:57:25Are we being paid enough to fight them?
00:57:26No.
00:57:44Aaron! Aaron!
00:57:46Leah!
00:57:47Safe.
00:57:48She's safe, man.
00:57:56Come on, let's get you moved.
00:57:58Agh!
00:57:59Agh!
00:57:59Agh!
00:58:03Patience.
00:58:05Patience?
00:58:06Aaron could be in there dying and we're just sitting here watching and waiting.
00:58:09I feel utterly useless.
00:58:11By watching, we keep our people from being surrounded.
00:58:15Besides, you're the one who decided to call in Ruben.
00:58:17You agreed to follow his orders.
00:58:20Wait, I think I see something.
00:58:21Over there.
00:58:23I can't be certain, but it kind of looks like a tiger.
00:58:30What was that for?
00:58:31Shhh!
00:58:32John, you don't want him to see us.
00:58:34We can't let that bastard get away!
00:58:38I'm not.
00:58:40You're staying here where it's safe.
00:58:43Fine, but I'm doing this under protest.
00:58:47Protest, no.
00:58:48Now, stay here.
00:58:53Come on.
00:58:5697, 98, 99, 100.
00:59:02Oh!
00:59:12Aaron!
00:59:13Thank God!
00:59:14His skin is hypersensitive right now.
00:59:16And it's only going to get worse.
00:59:18I'm doing what I can to fix the wounds right now.
00:59:21Aaron?
00:59:26Oh, you shouldn't have come.
00:59:28Oh, sweet girl.
00:59:30He's not making any sense.
00:59:31What's going on?
00:59:34I think you know.
00:59:40Aaron doesn't have any special antibodies.
00:59:43That is correct.
00:59:45So, what do we do?
00:59:46How can we-
00:59:47There's no cure.
00:59:48We can only mitigate symptoms.
00:59:50How?
00:59:51I think you know that too.
00:59:58I think you know that too.
01:00:03Um...
01:00:04Is there somebody we should call?
01:00:06You.
01:00:09I want it to be you.
01:00:11I want it to be you.
01:00:11Only you.
01:00:14Let's clear you guys out of this room.
01:00:19Why did you up?
01:00:22You know.
01:00:25squad.
01:00:30Well, originally was there.
01:03:24Thank you for everything you've done for me and for my family.
01:03:28Goodbye princess.
01:04:25I love you.
01:04:31I love you too.
01:04:34In that case, shall we let the world know?
01:04:45Leah Jenkins?
01:04:48Will you marry me?
01:04:50Yes.
01:04:51Yes.
01:04:52Oh my god.
01:05:21Hi, General.
01:05:23I didn't realize I'd be seeing you in person today.
01:05:25The situation called for it, Lieutenant.
01:05:27You and the Major General have cause to be proud.
01:05:30Thank you, sir.
01:05:34Major General Aaron Harold,
01:05:36I am here on behalf of Ruat Seal itself
01:05:39to congratulate you on completing your mission
01:05:41and ensuring the safety of our people.
01:05:43The honor is mine, High General Shane.
01:05:45When you first undertook this task,
01:05:47I conferred with my fellow elders.
01:05:49We had faith in your success,
01:05:51and thus already had in mind the next mission
01:05:53that we wish to offer you.
01:06:00We have an undercover mission overseas.
01:06:04We need someone who is truly capable
01:06:06to investigate a colony in Ithbeck.
01:06:08Hi, General.
01:06:09I thank you.
01:06:11I do.
01:06:13But I already know I cannot accept.
01:06:15You can't.
01:06:20An undercover mission to Ithbeck
01:06:22would interfere with planning my wedding.
01:06:27You're...
01:06:28Oh, I see.
01:06:31The utmost congratulations to you, Major General.
01:06:33May you both flourish.
01:06:43Gonna have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:06:46Go close.
01:06:46Oh, it's...
01:06:48...
01:07:08But I just wanted to expand your family.
01:07:09Go close.
01:07:11Go close.
01:07:11Let's go close.
01:07:11Go close.
01:07:13Go close.
01:07:14Go close.
01:07:15You
