Short filmTranscript
00:00My mother was the tragic heroine of a story that ended before I was born. When she died, her four
00:07childhood friends cut me out of her body, still breathing. That's how I got four fathers.
00:13The most powerful senator in the country, kingmaker of presidents, Garrison, the four-star general who has never lost a
00:21war, Dr. Julian, the Nobel-winning surgeon who built the largest pharmaceutical empire on earth, Jax.
00:28The underworld king whose name makes the five boroughs go quiet. Every girl in America envied me. Until my 18th
00:36birthday gala. That was the night she came home. Sienna, the daughter of their perfect muse. From that day forward,
00:45my four fathers became strangers. Sienna claimed I insulted her. Alistair had his security detail wire my jaw shut and
00:54starved me in the basement for 72 hours.
00:57Sienna claimed I poisoned her. Dr. Julian dragged me into his black site toxicology lab and let the test specimens
01:05eat through my cheek and devour one of my eyes.
01:09Sienna claimed I hired traffickers to violate her. Dr. Julian lifted me by the collar and threw me into the
01:16underground training grounds. Made me a plaything for the men there.
01:20For three years. Three years. Three years. And I stopped fighting. Tonight, when my door opened again, I reached for
01:28my zipper like I always did. Then I heard a voice. Not from the doorway. From inside my skull.
01:42The voice called itself a neural interface. It said my mother was the original host. That she'd left this world
01:49in a hurry, never knowing I survived her.
01:51Now she knew. Now she wanted me back. I was already moving. I pulled a combat knife from the weapons
01:57rack on the wall. Pressed the edge to my throat.
01:59Mom is alive. I'm going to see her. The joy drowned out every instinct to flinch. I dragged the blade.
02:07And a hand caught my wrist mid-strike. Pain exploded through my fingers.
02:11The knife clattered to the floor. A boot stepped on it.
02:14Allura, you want to die?
02:16I knew that voice. I looked up before I could stop myself.
02:19Jax. His jaw tightened.
02:21Don't call me that. I cut ties with you three years ago.
02:25Jax. The underworld king.
02:27When I was seven, a rival cartel kidnapped me. He walked into their stronghold alone. Took three bullets and two
02:34blades. When they let me go, I cried at the sight of his wounds. He'd smiled and said the bullets
02:40didn't hurt. Only my tears did.
02:42Of all four fathers, Jax loved me the most. Jax picked up the knife, glanced at the cut on my
02:48throat.
02:48Then, without warning, he slashed the blade across my skin. His voice came out like ice.
02:54You're as cheap as your mother, Elida. She at least had the decency to die in front of us. You
03:00picked a sewer.
03:03I almost told him I wasn't performing. Then I remembered. I never listened. I lowered my head.
03:11You're right, Mr. Sterling. Did you come all the way down here just to watch the show?
03:15Jax froze for a second.
03:17Don't flatter yourself. It's Sienna's birthday. Her coronation is America's sweetheart.
03:22She said she's ready to forgive you. I came to bring you to her gala.
03:29Three days ago, the news had broken.
03:33Alistair was naming Sienna the official Sterling heiress.
03:40If Sarah Lane's been carried, that's the proper relation. Thank you, Flory.
03:44It was supposed to be mine.
03:46He'd promised it to me when I was ten.
03:50The old Alara would have set the city on fire.
03:54The new Alara just said,
03:57I'm not going.
03:58He dragged me out by the wrist.
04:00This isn't a request.
04:03Threw me onto the back of his motorcycle.
04:05Took me to his penthouse.
04:08Scrubbed the grime off me.
04:10Put me in a black couture dress.
04:12Then drove me toward the Sterling estate.
04:16In the back of the town car, he kept talking.
04:20Meal when you see her.
04:22Don't provoke her.
04:23Don't speak unless spoken to.
04:25Don't provoke her.
04:26Every word cut deeper than Dr. Julian's scalpel ever had.
04:31I stared at the East River blurring past the window.
04:34I want to see my mother.
04:36I stood up, opened the door, and jumped.
04:39Seventy miles per hour.
04:41A scream ripped through the car behind me.
04:44The pavement rushed up.
04:46And then I was in someone's arms.
04:49Jax.
04:50We rolled twice across the asphalt.
04:53Blood ran down his face from where my skull had struck his.
04:56His voice came out shaking with rage.
05:00Alara, are you insane?
05:02I reached up to wipe the blood from his cheek.
05:05His expression turned to stone.
05:07And he shoved my hand away as if I'd burned him.
05:10If you want to die next time, die.
05:12I won't save you again.
05:19If you want to die next time, die.
05:21I won't save you again.
05:23My hand froze in the air.
05:26Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the Hudson, black and glittering under the streetlights.
05:33I laughed once bitter.
05:35Remember what you said, Mr. Sterling.
05:39Then I ran.
05:41Four strides.
05:42The guardrail.
05:43The night air.
05:44I launched myself over the edge.
05:47Jax was terrified of water.
05:49He'd almost drowned as a child.
05:51He'd just said he wouldn't save me.
05:53So when the freezing Hudson flooded my nose and dragged me under, I smiled.
05:59Coming, Mom.
06:02Darkness.
06:04Then, a slap across my face so hard my teeth rang.
06:08You little bitch!
06:10You can't stand a little honest work at the training grounds?
06:13You had to stage this whole performance in front of your father.
06:17Do you know he almost died in that river?
06:20Dr. Julian.
06:22Of the four, he and I had been closest.
06:25The other three ran empires.
06:27He was the one who raised me.
06:30He taught me to read.
06:32Taught me medicine.
06:33Taught me which herbs could kill and which could save.
06:37He never raised his voice at me.
06:40Not once.
06:41Until Sienna came home.
06:43Sienna had planted one of his venomous specimens on herself
06:47and screamed that I did it.
06:49Dr. Julian had whipped me until my back was raw.
06:56Allora.
06:57I failed you.
06:59I raised a monster.
07:03Later, when Sienna was poisoned again,
07:06he force-fed me pheromone pills
07:09and locked me in the containment chamber.
07:12The specimens chewed through my skin from the inside out.
07:17He saved my life afterward,
07:19but he couldn't save my left eye.
07:22I didn't speak now.
07:25He took my silence for defiance,
07:27raised his hand to strike me again,
07:29and Jax's hand shot out of nowhere,
07:32catching his wrist mid-air.
07:34Brother,
07:35she's tried to kill herself three times tonight already.
07:44I looked at Jax.
07:45He'd changed clothes.
07:47His wounds were bandaged.
07:48His face was ghost white.
07:49So it was him who pulled me from the river.
07:52He couldn't swim.
07:53I didn't want to imagine what that cost him.
07:55Jax exhaled.
07:56Thank God.
07:57Dr. Julian turned back to me.
08:00Allora,
08:01today is Sienna's gala.
08:02Act out in front of us if you must.
08:04But do not do this in front of Alistair and Garrison.
08:08His medicine cabinet stood against the far wall.
08:10I yanked open the drawer,
08:11closed my fingers around the black vial,
08:13swallowed it whole.
08:14Dr. Julian's face drained of color.
08:16He lunged,
08:17shoved his fingers down my throat.
08:19Do you know what that was?
08:20Needle to my wrist,
08:21black blood out.
08:22When the black turned red,
08:24he exhaled.
08:26Allora,
08:27you would die over a title?
08:29Tears rolled down my cheeks.
08:31They mistook them for joy.
08:32I dropped to my knees.
08:33Doctor,
08:34Mr. Sterling,
08:36please,
08:37just,
08:38let me die.
08:40I don't want to come home.
08:43I want my mother.
08:45I told them everything.
08:46The voice,
08:47the neural interface,
08:48my mother waiting.
08:50Dr. Julian pulled me upright.
08:51Allora,
08:52your mother is dead.
08:54We sat with her body for seven days.
08:57We watched her rot.
08:59The voice is trauma,
09:00he said.
09:01It wasn't.
09:01It wasn't.
09:02I knew.
09:02Tires screeching outside.
09:04Alistair and Garrison burst through the door.
09:06Face is white.
09:07Brothers,
09:07have you seen Sienna?
09:08She's missing.
09:09All four of them turned to me,
09:11in perfect,
09:12terrible unison.
09:13I knew that look.
09:14No,
09:15it wasn't me.
09:15Jax's hand closed around my throat.
09:18He dragged me into the courtyard,
09:19plunged my head into the stone fountain.
09:21Under,
09:22up,
09:22under,
09:23up.
09:23Last time,
09:26where is Sienna?
09:27The truth rose in my throat.
09:29I swallowed it.
09:30Make them kill you.
09:31I smiled up at him.
09:33Sienna?
09:33Oh,
09:34I killed her.
09:35And before I did,
09:36I let 12 of my favorite guests from the training grounds have her first.
09:41Four faces went white.
09:42Alistair sent for the instruments.
09:44Garrison brought the agency's best interrogator.
09:47Dr. Julian force-fed me a stimulant so I'd stay conscious.
09:50Jax gave the order.
09:52The blades went in.
09:53Mom,
09:54I'm coming.
09:54An assistant sprinted down the hall.
09:56Senator!
09:57Sienna!
09:58We found her!
09:59Alive!
10:00My scream tore through the estate.
10:03Hot blood splattered across their faces.
10:06The interrogator's blade,
10:07driven clean and perfect,
10:09straight through my heart.
10:13The blade in my chest burned.
10:16I almost cried.
10:17Almost.
10:17But I was going to see my mother.
10:19Through the haze,
10:20I saw them running toward me.
10:22Alistair ripped off his $1,000 suit jacket
10:24and pressed it hard against my chest.
10:26Garrison slammed the interrogator into the wall so violently,
10:29I heard something crack.
10:31Dr. Julian forced an experimental compound between my lips.
10:35And Jax?
10:35Jax just kept saying my childhood name.
10:38Ellie.
10:39Ellie.
10:40Don't close your eyes.
10:41Don't you dare-
10:42It reminded me of a winter I'd forgotten.
10:44I was six years old,
10:45burning alive with the fever of 104.
10:48They canceled four boards.
10:50A Pentagon briefing.
10:51A ceasefire negotiation.
10:52Just to sit around my bed.
10:54Just to coax me into taking medicine.
10:57They used to love me.
10:58So I memorized their faces one last time.
11:01I closed my eyes.
11:02The world should have ended there.
11:04But five days later,
11:05I opened my eyes again.
11:07Alive.
11:08In Dr. Julian's guest room.
11:09And the girl sitting at the edge of my bed was Sienna.
11:15Sister, you're awake.
11:17Her voice was syrup.
11:18Dr. Julian crossed the room to take my pulse.
11:21His face was flat.
11:23The blade missed the ventricle by a hair.
11:25I flew the experimental regen serum in from Switzerland.
11:28Five days.
11:29He'd burned a million dollar compound on someone who just wanted to die.
11:35Alera, if you didn't touch Sienna,
11:37why didn't you just say so?
11:39Why put us through that?
11:40The other three nodded.
11:42Only Sienna came to my defense.
11:44Don't scold her.
11:45It's my fault.
11:47I got lost.
11:48I just wanted to buy her a gift.
11:51Her eyes glistened on cue.
11:53Sienna missed her own gala worrying about you.
11:57Apologize.
11:58Now.
11:59I laughed.
12:00It hurt my ribs.
12:02I laughed anyway.
12:04Apologize for what, exactly?
12:06The room froze.
12:08I never laid a finger on her.
12:09Not once in my life.
12:11Every crime she cried about, she staged.
12:15And you bastards believed every tear.
12:18Sienna's face crumpled on cue.
12:20And Dr. Julian's hand came up so fast,
12:23I didn't see it move.
12:24Just felt the sting bloom across my cheek.
12:29Sienna ran to Alistair.
12:32Clung to his sleeve.
12:33Father, send me back to the compound in New Mexico.
12:37That's where I belong.
12:39The four of them melted instantly.
12:41They hushed her.
12:42Promised her she was their precious girl.
12:45Then they turned on me.
12:47Alistair's voice dropped.
12:49You're jealous.
12:50That's all this is.
12:51Jealous like your mother.
12:54Don't.
12:55Dr. Julian slapped me.
12:57Jealous like your mother.
12:59Spiteful like your mother.
13:00Your mother would be ashamed of you.
13:02Don't you dare bring up my mother!
13:06My mother risked her life to hide you four when your father was assassinated.
13:12My mother emptied her trust fund to buy the evidence that exonerated the sterling name.
13:17My mother found the witnesses.
13:19My mother testified at the hearings.
13:21My mother gave you this empire.
13:24And what did you do?
13:26Alistair?
13:27You left her at the altar for a stranger who'd been in your life eight weeks.
13:32Garrison?
13:33She called you crying for help and you didn't pick up the phone.
13:37Julian?
13:39Jax?
13:40You swore you'd protect her!
13:43You drove her into the water!
13:45The lion on earth called them by their first names.
13:47Four faces went bone white.
13:49They hadn't realized I knew.
13:51And Alistair's voice came out hoarse.
13:53Almost a whisper.
13:56How do you know any of this?
14:00Because of Lily.
14:01My mother's maid.
14:02The one person they couldn't make disappear.
14:05Alistair had banned her name from every inch of the estate after she died.
14:10Burned every portrait.
14:12Paid off every witness.
14:13Shipped every servant back to wherever they came from.
14:16The tabloids thought the titans were grieving too hard to bear her image.
14:20I know better.
14:21They were furious.
14:22Because my mother had driven Fiona.
14:24Sienna's real mother.
14:26Into hiding.
14:27By dying.
14:28When I was nine.
14:29I fell out of a tree and into the condemned east wing of the estate.
14:33Lily was there.
14:34Still living in my mother's old rooms.
14:36The ones they'd sealed.
14:37She looked at me and started to cry.
14:40Your eyes are exactly like hers.
14:42She told me everything.
14:43My mother helped Alistair escape the men who killed his father.
14:47My mother nursed Garrison through his first combat wound.
14:50My mother synthesized the rare compound that saved Dr. Julian's dying sister.
14:55My mother found Jax when the underworld left him for dead.
14:58And brought him back with her bare hands.
15:01She'd been there whole world until Fiona came.
15:05Alistair broke off the engagement two weeks before the wedding.
15:08Jax, who'd comforted my mother through the humiliation, confessed his love to Fiona behind her back.
15:14Garrison imprisoned my mother for her own safety.
15:17Dr. Julian watched it all happen and said nothing.
15:20When Fiona planted the last false accusation, my mother stopped fighting.
15:25Lily told me, everyone thinks she drowned herself out of heartbreak.
15:29But that morning she was smiling.
15:31She told me, I was going home.
15:33I asked, isn't this her home?
15:35Lily shook her head.
15:36And her answer has never left me since.
15:39She said her real home was another world.
15:41And she said, you could go there too.
15:45Back in the present, the four of them sat in broken silence.
15:50Ellie.
15:52If you're miserable here, come with me.
15:57Come see the world.
15:59Travel.
16:00You said once you wanted to be like me.
16:04Jax.
16:05You don't want to take me away because you love me.
16:08You want to take me away so I stop making Sienna uncomfortable.
16:12His eyes flickered.
16:14Bullseye.
16:15If you take her with you, she needs medical supervision.
16:19I'll take her to my private facility in Geneva.
16:23No, she'll come back to the training grounds with me.
16:25She was obedient there.
16:27Loud enough that Garrison's own chair fell over as he shot to his feet.
16:31Back to the training grounds?
16:33Garrison, haven't your men violated me enough yet?
16:36The room went dead silent.
16:38Suddenly, his voice came back at me like a gunshot.
16:42What did you just say?
16:46And the second you left, they told me the general himself had given the order.
16:51I was a new asset.
16:53Don't go easy on her.
16:55There was someone in my cell every night.
16:57Sometimes one.
16:59Sometimes three.
17:01Dr. Julian, you taught me about conceptives.
17:05I used them every time.
17:06Dr. Julian's lips went gray.
17:08Tell me you didn't use sylphrus extract.
17:10I nodded.
17:11He doubled over like I'd stabbed him.
17:13That compound erodes the uterine lining.
17:16Every dose is like grinding bone.
17:18How did you...
17:19Better than a baby.
17:20Silence.
17:21Jax moved first.
17:22Grab Garrison by the collar.
17:24You piece of shit.
17:26You told them to.
17:28I didn't.
17:29Garrison's voice was a whisper.
17:31I never gave that order.
17:32Could sister be exaggerating?
17:36Garrison exhaled.
17:37Exactly.
17:38My men would never.
17:39I peeled off my blouse.
17:41My back was a map.
17:43Whip scars.
17:44Burn marks.
17:45The ruined tissue from the sylphium.
17:48Lacerations that had healed wrong because no one had set them.
17:51Every man in the room stopped breathing.
17:53And Garrison's hand was already on his phone.
17:56Shaking so hard he could barely dial.
17:58As he barked into the receiver.
18:00Pull every officer who had access to her cell.
18:03Tonight!
18:06The four men who had tortured me for three years were finally, finally looking at me like
18:14I was real.
18:15Sienna saw it too.
18:17Her eyes flickered with something cold.
18:19I pushed.
18:20I don't want to live with any of you.
18:23I want to go home to my mother.
18:25Dr. Julian and Jax exchanged a look I couldn't read.
18:29Alora, you've been through trauma.
18:31The voice isn't real.
18:33But we can make you comfortable.
18:35Each of us kept one of your mother's rooms.
18:38You can live in whichever one you choose.
18:40I shook my head.
18:41I want my mother.
18:42Why doesn't sister stay with me?
18:45She's afraid of men now.
18:47My staff are all women.
18:49I'll take care of her.
18:51Four pairs of hopeful eyes swung toward me.
18:54I opened my mouth to refuse.
18:56Then I saw Sienna's expression.
18:59The small, triumphant curl at the corner of her mouth.
19:02And I understood exactly what she wanted.
19:05Living with the fathers would keep me alive.
19:08Living with Sienna would kill me.
19:10I smiled back at her, matching her mask with my own.
19:13And said the two words that sealed it.
19:16Okay.
19:17Sienna.
19:21Exactly what I expected.
19:23The second the door closed behind the Titans, her smile died.
19:27She led me to a windowless room in the sub-basement of her brownstone.
19:31Her two handmaids forced me to my knees.
19:35I didn't fight.
19:36You brought me here to torture me.
19:38Congratulations.
19:39I'm not surprised.
19:41Sienna lowered herself into a chair across from me.
19:44Legs crossed.
19:45Wine glass in hand.
19:47Your mother killed mine.
19:49I'm just balancing the books.
19:51Then kill me.
19:52Kill me and we're even.
19:53Go on.
19:54You think I won't?
19:56You won't.
19:58Your mother was a cheap slut.
20:00A homewrecker.
20:02A whore passed around every bed in Manhattan.
20:05Don't speak about my mother.
20:07She lunged.
20:09Slapped me.
20:10Drew a knife.
20:11Pressed it to my throat.
20:12My mother was royalty.
20:15My mother was the last daughter.
20:17An older woman.
20:18Princess.
20:18Her chief of staff.
20:19Careful.
20:19Caught her wrist.
20:21Princess.
20:22Careful.
20:22Sienna blinked.
20:24Snapped back to herself.
20:26She laughed.
20:26Soft and cold.
20:28And waved the older woman off.
20:30But she'd said too much.
20:31And we both knew I'd heard every word of it.
20:35Death is a second of relief.
20:37I'm not giving you that.
20:39I'm going to keep you alive.
20:41Conscious.
20:42Watching.
20:43While I take everything that was ever yours one piece at a time.
20:47She clapped twice.
20:48Four large men walked in.
20:50My stomach dropped before my brain caught up.
20:53I knew those faces.
20:54Every single one of them.
20:56They were from the training grounds.
20:57My body started shaking before I could stop it.
21:00The men who came to my cell for three years.
21:03They were yours.
21:04Sienna laughed.
21:06Delighted.
21:07Every single one.
21:08Hand picked.
21:09For you.
21:10I'm a generous sister aren't I?
21:13Garrison's men couldn't have been infiltrated by just anyone.
21:16A four star general's personal command.
21:19I tested her.
21:20Aren't you afraid Garrison will find out?
21:23If I wasn't certain he wouldn't.
21:25I wouldn't have done it.
21:27Which meant she had moles inside the US army.
21:29And if she could bend Garrison's command to her will.
21:32There was no telling how deep the rot in this city went.
21:36Or which of my father's empires was already hollowed out from the inside.
21:40She clapped again.
21:41The men moved toward me.
21:43The familiar smell hit me first.
21:45Cheap cologne and military grade soap.
21:48My stomach flipped.
21:49Sienna didn't want me dead.
21:51She wanted me hollow.
21:53Every time I got too weak.
21:55Her doctors revived me.
21:56Two weeks in.
21:57I was skin and bone.
21:59Barely lucid.
22:00Then the fathers started showing up.
22:02One of them every day.
22:03She wouldn't let them see me.
22:05Sister is resting.
22:06She gets agitated when she sees men.
22:08They came back.
22:09And back.
22:10And back.
22:11Until Dr. Julian.
22:13On his fourth visit.
22:14Offered to fly me to Geneva for inpatient neuropsychiatric care.
22:18And for the first time in two weeks.
22:20Sienna had no way to refuse without exposing herself.
22:24Before she let me into the room.
22:26She dug her nails into my cheek.
22:28Remember.
22:29They believe me.
22:30Not you.
22:31One wrong word and I burn your eyes out.
22:34I nodded.
22:34Then I walked into the room.
22:36Dropped to my knees in front of Dr. Julian.
22:39Gripped his wrist.
22:40Save me.
22:41She has men here.
22:42The soldiers who raped me.
22:43They're hers.
22:44She's planning to overthrow Alistair.
22:46Sienna went white.
22:47Recovered in half a second.
22:49Oh sister.
22:50Your delusions are back.
22:52I'm not.
22:54Enough.
22:55Dr. Julian cut me off.
22:56Face full of disappointment.
22:58Exactly as Sienna had predicted.
23:00Alara.
23:01I thought staying with Sienna would humble you.
23:03Instead you're spreading slander.
23:05I won't visit again.
23:07He walked out.
23:08Sienna bent down.
23:09Whispered in my ear.
23:10When will you learn?
23:12She turned to her men with a smile.
23:14I'll remember until I die.
23:16And gave the order in a voice like sugar.
23:18Night.
23:19Nobody holds back.
23:20After this.
23:22No one's coming to check on her ever again.
23:25She dipped a braided leather whip in salt water.
23:27The first lash fell.
23:29Then another.
23:29Then tires.
23:31Outside.
23:31Screeching.
23:32Sienna froze.
23:33The door exploded inward.
23:35Four men.
23:36Four silhouettes in bespoke coats.
23:38Alistair.
23:39Garrison.
23:40Dr. Julian.
23:41Jax.
23:42They saw what was in the room.
23:43Four faces went to stone.
23:45Alistair stepped in first.
23:46Sienna.
23:47What are you doing?
23:48Even royalty folds under Alistair's voice.
23:51Sienna hit her knees.
23:52Father.
23:53I can explain.
23:55I was playing with sister.
23:57She was so afraid of men.
23:59I was helping her.
24:00Playing.
24:00Alistair's voice was below zero.
24:02And what are the soldiers you've been training at the compound in North Hills?
24:05Garrison tossed something at her feet.
24:07Something that bounced twice.
24:09Rolled.
24:09And came to rest upright so we could see the face.
24:12And Sienna's lips formed the word.
24:14No.
24:15Before her brain caught up to the severed head of her own commander.
24:18Staring back at her.
24:19Here's what had happened.
24:20Earlier that day.
24:22When I whispered the truth to Dr. Julian.
24:24He'd believed me.
24:25He'd noticed Sienna's handmaids.
24:28The throats weren't right.
24:29Adam's apples.
24:30Calluses from weapons training on their palms.
24:33Julian was a scientist.
24:34Not a fighter.
24:35He'd driven straight to Alistair and told the others.
24:38While they were mobilizing.
24:40Garrison's internal audit cracked open.
24:42The whole training grounds trafficking scheme unraveled.
24:46They traced the money.
24:47It led to an abandoned industrial site in North Hills.
24:51A private militia with hundreds of men.
24:53A standing army.
24:55Inside U.S. borders.
24:57Pointed at Manhattan.
24:58They stormed it that afternoon.
24:59Most of the force was mercenaries and ex-cons.
25:02They folded in 20 minutes.
25:04The commander broke under questioning in 10.
25:06And when the four of them listened to the recording of his confession.
25:09They realized he wasn't American.
25:12He wasn't a mercenary.
25:13And he wasn't working for any cartel they'd ever heard of.
25:16He was the last living general of a monarchy that supposedly ended 30 years ago.
25:21He was a deposed eastern European general.
25:24One of the last holdouts from the old regime the Stirlings had helped overthrow a generation ago.
25:29He'd been taking orders from Siena.
25:31And Siena's mother, Fiona, wasn't just a pretty stranger.
25:35She was the deposed monarchy's youngest princess.
25:38Exiled.
25:39Forgotten.
25:40Living in a convent.
25:41She'd spent 20 years planning her revenge.
25:44Step 1.
25:44Seduce the four boys who had killed her father.
25:47Step 2.
25:48Destroy my mother, who was the one person who saw through her.
25:52My mother didn't drown herself.
25:54She killed her.
25:56We just learned this.
25:58Fiona.
25:59Poisoned your mother to silence her.
26:01Then vanished.
26:02Garrison picked up the thread.
26:04She left her daughter behind.
26:05Raised on hatred.
26:07I found Siena in Albania.
26:08I thought I was saving her.
26:09I brought a weapon into our home.
26:12Siena was sobbing on the floor now.
26:14I'm your daughter.
26:16I'm your blood.
26:18You can't do this to me.
26:21Alistair's voice could have cut glass.
26:23You are not my daughter.
26:25I never slept with your mother.
26:27You're the bastard child of an exiled pretender.
26:30Bastard.
26:31Siena snapped.
26:32She threw her head back and laughed.
26:34Oh, I'm not yours?
26:37Then whose is Allura?
26:38Because none of you know either.
26:41The room froze.
26:42Four heads turned toward me.
26:44Siena pulled a transmitter from her sleeve.
26:46Pulled the pin.
26:47Black-clad men flooded every entrance of the estate.
26:51Her second army.
26:52The one she'd kept in reserve.
26:54And while Alistair's security and Siena's mercenaries collided in the hallway in a cascade of gunfire,
27:00I slipped past all of them, out the front door and into the night.
27:04I'm sorry.
