00:00:0720 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
00:00:125% of population awakened powers.
00:00:16They became the new elite.
00:00:21Everyone's life is determined by the power test.
00:00:25It separates people into two classes, the ordinary and the elite.
00:00:31Power response confirmed.
00:00:33Elite track.
00:00:34Notify the academy.
00:00:35High compatibility.
00:00:36Pass. You rise.
00:00:51Did he get nothing?
00:00:52Not even a spark.
00:00:53Next.
00:00:54Fail. It forgets you.
00:01:00Your parents were ability users, and what did it get them?
00:01:04They were failures.
00:01:06Disappeared 10 years ago, left nothing behind.
00:01:10And now look at you.
00:01:12No ability, no future.
00:01:15Just like them.
00:01:27Their world is so far from mine.
00:01:31Dad, Mom, where did you go?
00:02:01Level 3 alert.

00:02:54I can't outrun this!
00:03:16Mom, Dad, please help me.
00:03:41How long was I here?
00:03:49What did you do to me?

00:05:40Basic tier.
00:05:41Slot 2 of 2.
00:05:42Equipped.
00:05:46Full.
00:05:56You're alive?
00:05:58That mark.
00:06:00Are you an ability user?
00:06:03I don't know.
00:06:08Move.
00:06:10Move.
00:06:37That's D-level ability user.
00:06:39Trained.
00:06:40Coordinated.
00:06:40Practiced.
00:06:41If that's the baseline,
00:06:43where am I trying to go?
00:06:55More abilities.
00:06:57More range.
00:06:58More.
00:07:00More.
00:07:10New.
00:07:11Hmm.
00:07:12Let's go.
00:08:06Let's go.
00:08:11Let's go.
00:09:06Let's go.
00:09:08Let's go.
00:09:09Find him.
00:09:17What are you?
00:09:26What are you?
00:09:26Cole Brennan?
00:09:28Who are you?
00:09:33What are you?
00:09:34What are you?
00:09:57Zero.
00:10:00That's what's on your file.
00:10:02They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift. Stop staring
00:10:09at it. Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes. Food gets cold.
00:10:24Not to prove anything. Not to them. Not to him.
00:10:31Pinnacle has class D rift acts. Restricted zones. Places that don't show up in any civilian database. But in those
00:10:39rifts, something happened in there. That envelope is an invitation. It's a door.
00:10:48I'll go.
00:11:14No badge. No uniform either.
00:11:17Is he ordinary?
00:11:22No badge? No uniform? What are you doing in here? Meeting with director Reynolds. I'm here to see the director.
00:11:30Reynolds?
00:11:35What? Did a rift open near your house? You looking for someone to come deal with it? Nobody said I
00:11:41needed a uniform to walk down a hallway. My grandfather helped build this program. My dad held the school fire
00:11:48record until two years ago. Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot. You looked me up.
00:11:59Your file says no ability. But surveillance caught you using flame and shockwave during the E3 rift incident. I didn't
00:12:06know what was happening to me. I still don't fully understand it.
00:12:10The Brennan name is in this building's founding records. I need to verify your abilities. Not because I doubt what
00:12:16I saw on the footage. Because this academy has to see it for itself. Tomorrow. The entrance exam.
00:12:23Prove your worth. I will.
00:12:32That's the one Reynolds let in? Zero on the F-Greed assessment. Literally zero. He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:12:43Ladies and gentlemen. He actually showed up. I told you yesterday. I told all of you. Reynolds let a civilian
00:12:49walk through the front gate. And here he is. Ready for his assessment.
00:12:55Every single one of you earned your spot. Tests, certifications, years of training. And Reynolds just hands this guy a
00:13:02pass.
00:13:04So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today. Set the bar. Remind everyone what this place is actually
00:13:10for.
00:13:19That's D rank fire. Top of the class. I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:13:24Your turn Brennan. Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:13:30Big throw. Big throw. Biggest he's got. You can see it coming from across the room. His whole body loads
00:13:36up before he lets go.
00:13:38One shot he's already winded. That was his best. And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:13:48That was your best shot?
00:13:50Excuse me?
00:13:52You asked to go first. You picked the biggest dummy on the floor. Held the fireball an extra second. So
00:13:59everyone could see it. So... was that it?
00:14:04You have no idea what you're walking into. People with real training walk into D rank rifts and don't come
00:14:10back.
00:14:10You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us. I don't think I'm
00:14:14one of you.
00:14:16I think I'm here to take a test. And you're in the way.
00:14:25Cole Brennan. It's your turn. Demonstrate your ability.
00:14:29You got lucky.
00:14:31Forget him. Forget the crowd. None of them matter right now.
00:14:36Reynolds knows something about mom and dad. She has to.
00:14:40And Pinnacle has D rank rift access. That's where they were last seen.
00:14:45That's why I'm here. This is the only shot I've got.
00:14:49Don't blow it.
00:14:59Pinnacle has D rank rift.

00:23:15Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:23:21This young man.
00:23:23Pull his file.
00:23:25The test says nothing.
00:23:29The footage says three.
00:23:31Which one do we trust?
00:23:38A civilian demonstrating ability?
00:23:41That contradicts a century of awakening biology.
00:23:44The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some rift zone anomaly.
00:23:48Three independent scans, Hargraith.
00:23:50Then the scans confirmed it.
00:23:51He has no ability.
00:23:52If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next
00:23:58time the rift opens in a populated area?
00:24:01Merit is our standard.
00:24:03Not bloodline.
00:24:05Not test scores.
00:24:07Find him.
00:24:15What are you?
00:24:23Cole Brennan?
00:24:26Who are you?
00:24:31Pinnacle Academy.
00:24:34Admissions office.
00:24:35The Chancellor wants to meet you, tomorrow.
00:24:47Pinnaclec Academy.
00:24:50You think they don't screen their applications?
00:24:53No ability.
00:24:54Not low.
00:24:56Zero.
00:24:58That's what's on your file.
00:25:00They're not gonna make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
00:25:06Stop staring at it.
00:25:08Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
00:25:11Food gets cold.
00:25:22Not to prove anything.
00:25:24Not to them.
00:25:26Not to him.
00:25:30Pinnacle has Class D rift axe.
00:25:32Restricted zones.
00:25:34Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:25:37But in those rifts, something happened in there.
00:25:39That envelope is an invitation.
00:25:41It's a door.
00:25:47I'll go.
00:26:13No badge.
00:26:14No uniform either.
00:26:15Is he ordinary?
00:26:20No badge.
00:26:21No uniform.
00:26:23What are you doing in here?
00:26:24Meeting with Director Reynolds.
00:26:26I'm here to see the director.
00:26:28Reynolds?
00:26:33What?
00:26:34Did a rift open near your house?
00:26:36You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:26:39Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:26:42My grandfather helped build this program.
00:26:44My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
00:26:48Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
00:26:51You looked me up.

00:27:06I still don't fully understand it.
00:27:08The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
00:27:11I need to verify your abilities.
00:27:13Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
00:27:16Because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:27:19Tomorrow.
00:27:20The entrance exam.
00:27:22Prove your worth.
00:27:24I will.
00:27:30That's the one Reynolds let in?
00:27:32Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
00:27:34Literally zero.
00:27:36He's not even wearing a uniform!
00:27:41Ladies and gentlemen!
00:27:43He actually showed up!
00:27:44I told you yesterday.
00:27:45I told all of you.
00:27:46Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
00:27:49And here he is.
00:27:50Ready for his assessment.
00:27:54Every single one of you earned your spot.
00:27:56Tests.
00:27:57Certifications.
00:27:57Years of training.
00:27:58And Reynolds just...
00:28:00Hands this guy a pass.
00:28:02So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
00:28:05Set the bar.
00:28:06Remind everyone what this place is actually for!
00:28:17That's D rank fire.
00:28:19Top of the class.
00:28:20I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:28:22Your turn Brennan.
00:28:24Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:28:28Big throw.
00:28:30Biggest he's got.
00:28:31You can see it coming from across the room.
00:28:34His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:28:36One shot and he's already winded.
00:28:39That was his best.
00:28:40And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:28:46That was your best shot?
00:28:48Excuse me?
00:28:49You asked to go first.
00:28:52You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
00:28:54Held the fireball an extra second.
00:28:56So everyone could see.
00:28:59So...
00:28:59Is that it?
00:29:02You have no idea what you're walking into.
00:29:05People with real training walk into D rank rifts and don't come back.
00:29:09You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
00:29:12I don't think I'm one of you.
00:29:14I think I'm here to take a test.
00:29:16And you're in the way.
00:29:23Cole Brennan.
00:29:24It's your turn.
00:29:26Demonstrate your ability.
00:29:29Forget him.
00:29:30Forget the crowd.
00:29:31None of them matter right now.
00:29:34Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
00:29:37She has to.
00:29:38And Pinnacle has D rank rift access.
00:29:41That's where they were last seen.
00:29:43That's why I'm here.
00:29:45This is the only shot I've got.
00:29:47Don't blow it.
00:30:04The Great Awakening
00:30:04Twenty years ago.
00:30:05The Great Awakening changed everything.
00:30:09Five percent of population awakened powers.
00:30:12They became the new elite.
00:30:18Everyone's life is determined by...
00:30:20The power test.
00:30:21It separates people into two classes.
00:30:24The ordinary and the elite.

00:30:49Not even a spark.
00:30:50Next.
00:30:50Fail.
00:30:51It forgets you.
00:30:57Your parents were ability users.
00:30:59And what did it get them?
00:31:00They were failures.
00:31:02Disappeared ten years ago.
00:31:04Left nothing behind.
00:31:06And now look at you.
00:31:08No ability.
00:31:09No future.
00:31:11Just like them.
00:31:23I don't have to make me back next to me.
00:31:24I hope you're frustrated.
00:31:24I'm so happy.
00:31:24Your world,
00:31:26is so far from mine.

00:36:30Move.
00:36:30Move.
00:36:33Move.
00:36:33That's D-level ability user.
00:36:35Trained.
00:36:36Coordinated.
00:36:37Practiced.
00:36:38If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
00:36:51More abilities, more range, more.
00:37:40More abilities, more.
00:37:48Kill confirmed, card draw, ice shot, basic tier, current collection, three abilities, slots, two of two, three abilities, two slots.
00:38:13Director Reynolds, you should see this.
00:38:19This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says three. Which one do we trust?
00:38:36A civilian demonstrating ability? That contradicts a century of awakening biology. The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some
00:38:45rift zone anomaly.
00:38:46Three independent scans, Hargrave. Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
00:38:51If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
00:38:57a populated area? Merit is our standard.
00:39:01Not bloodline. Not test scores. Find him.
00:39:14What are you?
00:39:22Cole Brennan?
00:39:24Who are you?
00:39:30Pinnacle Academy. Admission's office. The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
00:39:45Pinnacle Academy. You think they don't screen their applications?
00:39:50No ability. Not low. Zero.
00:39:56That's what's on your file. They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky
00:40:03near a rift.
00:40:04Stop staring at it. Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes. Food gets cold.
00:40:20Not to prove anything. Not to them. Not to him.
00:40:28Pinnacle has class D rift acts. Restricted zones. Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
00:40:35But in those rifts, something happened in there. That envelope is an invitation. It's a door.
00:40:45I'll go.
00:40:55I'll go.
00:41:11No badge. No uniform either.
00:41:13Is he ordinary?
00:41:18No badge. No uniform. What are you doing in here?
00:41:22Meeting with Director Reynolds. I'm here to see the director.
00:41:26Reynolds?
00:41:31What? Did a rift open near your house?
00:41:35You looking for someone to come deal with it?
00:41:37Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
00:41:40My grandfather helped build this program.
00:41:42My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
00:41:46Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
00:41:49You looked me up.
00:41:55Your file says no ability.
00:41:58But surveillance caught you using flame and shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
00:42:02I didn't know what was happening to me. I still don't fully understand it.
00:42:06The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
00:42:09I need to verify your abilities.
00:42:11Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
00:42:14Because this academy has to see it for itself.
00:42:17Tomorrow. The entrance exam.
00:42:20Prove your worth.
00:42:22I will.
00:42:28That's the one Reynolds let in?
00:42:30Zero on the F-Greed assessment. Literally zero.
00:42:34He's not even wearing a uniform.
00:42:39Ladies and gentlemen. He actually showed up.
00:42:42I told you yesterday. I told all of you.
00:42:45Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
00:42:47And here he is. Ready for his assessment.
00:42:52Every single one of you earned your spot.
00:42:54Tests. Certifications. Years of training.
00:42:57And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
00:43:00So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
00:43:03Set the bar.
00:43:04Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
00:43:15That's D rank fire. Top of the class. I've been doing this since I was 14.
00:43:21Your turn Brennan. Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
00:43:26The big throw. Biggest he's got.
00:43:29You can see it coming from across the room. His whole body loads up before he lets go.
00:43:35One shot he's already winded. That was his best. And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
00:43:44That was your best shot?
00:43:47Excuse me?
00:43:48You asked to go first.
00:43:50You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
00:43:53Held the fireball an extra second.
00:43:55So everyone could see.
00:43:56So.
00:43:57Was that it?
00:44:00You have no idea what you're walking into.
00:44:03People with real training walk into D rank rifts and don't come back.
00:44:07You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
00:44:10I don't think I'm one of you.
00:44:12I think I'm here to take a test.
00:44:14And you're in the way.
00:44:21Cole Brennan. It's your turn.
00:44:24Demonstrate your ability.
00:44:27Forget him. Forget the crowd. None of them matter right now.
00:44:33Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
00:44:35She has to.
00:44:36And Pinnacle has D rank rift access.
00:44:39That's where they were last seen.
00:44:42That's why I'm here.
00:44:43This is the only shot I've got.
00:44:45Don't blow it.
00:45:02The Great Awakening
00:45:03Twenty years ago.
00:45:04The Great Awakening changed everything.
00:45:07Five percent of population awakened powers.
00:45:11They became the new elite.
00:45:16Everyone's life is determined by
00:45:18The power test.
00:45:20It separates people into two classes.
00:45:22The ordinary and the elite.
00:45:25Power response confirmed.
00:45:27Elite track.
00:45:28Notify the academy.
00:45:30High compatibility.
00:45:31Pass. You rise.
00:45:46Did he get nothing?
00:45:47Not even a spark.
00:45:47Next.
00:45:48Fail.
00:45:49It forgets you.
00:45:55Your parents were ability users.
00:45:57And what did it get them?
00:45:58They were failures.
00:46:00Disappeared ten years ago.
00:46:02Left nothing behind.
00:46:04And now look at you.
00:46:06No ability.
00:46:08No future.
00:46:09Just like them.
00:46:22Their world is so far from mine.
00:46:26Dad.
00:46:27Mom.
00:46:28Where did you go?
00:46:30No.
00:46:44You're wrong.
00:46:45No.
00:46:46No.
00:46:47No.

01:10:05Food gets cold.
01:10:17Not to prove anything.
01:10:19Not to them.
01:10:21Not to him.
01:10:24Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
01:10:27Restricted zones.
01:10:28Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
01:10:31But in those rifts, something happened in there.
01:10:34That envelope is an invitation.
01:10:35It's a door.
01:10:41I'll go.
01:11:07No badge.
01:11:08No uniform either.
01:11:10Is he ordinary?
01:11:14No badge.
01:11:16No uniform?
01:11:17What are you doing in here?
01:11:18Meeting with Director Reynolds.
01:11:20I'm here to see the director.
01:11:23Reynolds?
01:11:28What?
01:11:29Did a rift open near your house?
01:11:31You looking for someone to come deal with it?
01:11:33Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
01:11:36My grandfather helped build this program.
01:11:39My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.
01:11:42Every Ashford who walked these halls earned their spot.
01:11:46You looked me up.
01:11:52Your file says no ability.
01:11:54But surveillance caught you using flame and shockwave during the E3 rift incident.
01:11:58I didn't know what was happening to me.
01:12:00I still don't fully understand it.
01:12:02The Brennan name is in this building's founding records.
01:12:05I need to verify your abilities.
01:12:08Not because I doubt what I saw on the footage.
01:12:10Because this academy has to see it for itself.
01:12:14Tomorrow.
01:12:15The entrance exam.
01:12:16Prove your worth.
01:12:17I will.
01:12:24That's the one Reynolds let in?
01:12:26Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
01:12:29Literally zero.
01:12:30He's not even wearing a uniform.
01:12:36Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up.
01:12:39I told you yesterday.
01:12:40I told all of you.
01:12:41Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
01:12:43And here he is, ready for his assessment.
01:12:48Every single one of you earned your spot.
01:12:50Tests, certifications, years of training.
01:12:53And Reynolds just hands this guy a pass.
01:12:56So I asked Reynolds to let me go first today.
01:12:59Set the bar.
01:13:00Remind everyone what this place is actually for.
01:13:12That's D-rank fire.
01:13:14Top of the class.
01:13:15I've been doing this since I was 14.
01:13:17Your turn, Brennan.
01:13:18Show us what Reynolds risked her reputation for.
01:13:23Big throw.
01:13:24Biggest he's got.
01:13:26You can see it coming from across the room.
01:13:28His whole body loads up before he lets go.
01:13:31One shot, he's already winded.
01:13:33That was his best.
01:13:35And he wasted it on a practice dummy.
01:13:40That was your best shot?
01:13:43Excuse me?
01:13:45You asked to go first.
01:13:46You picked the biggest dummy on the floor.
01:13:49Held the fireball an extra second.
01:13:51So everyone could see.
01:13:53So, is that it?
01:13:57You have no idea what you're walking into.
01:14:00People with real training walk into D-rank rifts and don't come back.
01:14:03You got lucky once in some alley and you think that makes you one of us.
01:14:06I don't think I'm one of you.
01:14:09I think I'm here to take a test.
01:14:11And you're in the way.
01:14:17Cole Brennan.
01:14:19It's your turn.
01:14:21Demonstrate your ability.
01:14:23Forget him.
01:14:24Forget the crowd.
01:14:26None of them matter right now.
01:14:29Reynolds knows something about mom and dad.
01:14:31She has to.
01:14:33And Pinnacle has D-rank rift access.
01:14:35That's where they were last seen.
01:14:38That's why I'm here.
01:14:39This is the only shot I've got.
01:14:42Don't blow it.
01:14:5820 years ago, the Great Awakening changed everything.
01:15:035% of population awakened powers.
01:15:07They became the new elite.
01:15:12Everyone's life is determined by the power test.
01:15:16It separates people into two classes.
01:15:18Pass, the ordinary, and the elite.
01:15:22Power response confirmed.
01:15:23Elite track.
01:15:25Notify the academy.
01:15:26High compatibility.
01:15:27Pass, you rise.
01:15:42Did he get nothing?
01:15:43Not even a spark.
01:15:44Next.
01:15:45Fail.
01:15:46It forgets you.
01:15:51Your parents were ability users, and what did it get them?
01:15:55They were failures.
01:15:57Disappeared 10 years ago, left nothing behind.
01:16:01And now look at you.
01:16:03No ability, no future.
01:16:05Just like them.
01:16:18Their world is so far from mine.
01:16:22Dad, mom, where did you go?
01:16:52Level 3 alert.
01:16:54Evacuate immediately.
01:16:56Rift collapse on 5th and Meridian.
01:16:58Ceiling tube inbound.
01:17:04Go throw the here at extracting.
01:17:09Wait, wait, I'm still in here!
01:17:30Oh, no.
01:17:35Oh, no.
01:17:43I can't outrun this!
01:17:45I'll run this.
01:17:46I can't outrun this!
01:18:04I can't outrun this.
01:18:07Mom, Dad, please, help me.
01:18:31How long was I out?
01:18:40What did you do to me?
01:18:44Card draw system activated.
01:18:46What the? Who's talking?
01:19:04A system? What is this?
01:19:07Defeat monsters. Draw cards. Grow stronger.
01:19:11I can get abilities? Me? I'm an ordinary. This doesn't...
01:19:17Warning. Hostile entity detected. 20 meters.
01:19:21That's the same one?
01:19:24First awakening protocol.
01:19:26Wait! Right now?
01:19:27Beginning card draw.
01:19:29Come on! Whatever you are, come on!
01:19:33Ability acquired. Flame control.
01:19:37Basic team. Equip to slot one or two.
01:19:40What is this?
01:19:47It's coming.
01:19:56Back off!
01:20:07I... I... I have an ability?
01:20:16Kill confirmed. Initiating card draw.
01:20:19Defeating monsters? Triggers a draw?
01:20:28Ability acquired. Shockwave. Basic tier. Slot two of two. Equipped.
01:20:36Full.
01:20:47You're alive?
01:20:49That mark. Are you an ability user?
01:20:54I don't know.
01:20:59Move.
01:21:18Always. Run.
01:21:27That's D-level ability user. Trained. Coordinated. Practiced.
01:21:32If that's the baseline, where am I trying to go?
01:21:45More abilities. More range. More.
01:22:01Mmm!
01:22:29Oh, my God.
01:22:42Kill confirmed, card draw, ice shot, basic tier, current collection, three abilities, slots, two of two, three abilities, two slots.
01:23:07Director Reynolds, you should see this.
01:23:14This young man. Pull his file. The test says nothing. The footage says three. Which one do we trust?
01:23:30A civilian demonstrating ability? That contradicts a century of awakening biology. The instruments are the reliable variable here, not some
01:23:39rift zone anomaly.
01:23:41Three independent scans, Hargrave. Then the scans confirmed it. He has no ability.
01:23:46If he genuinely has these abilities and we leave him unmonitored, what happens the next time the rift opens in
01:23:52a populated area? Merit is our standard.
01:23:55Not bloodline. Not test scores. Find him.
01:24:08What are you?
01:24:16Cole Brennan?
01:24:19Who are you?
01:24:25Pinnacle Academy. Admissions office. The Chancellor wants to meet you. Tomorrow.
01:24:40Pinnacle Academy. You think they don't screen their applications?
01:24:45No ability. No ability. Not low. Zero.
01:24:51That's what's on your file.
01:24:53They're not going to make an exception for a delivery boy because he got lucky near a rift.
01:24:58Stop staring at it.
01:25:00Your bag's been sitting there for 20 minutes.
01:25:03Food gets cold.
01:25:15Not to prove anything.
01:25:17Not to them.
01:25:19Not to him.
01:25:22Pinnacle has Class D rift acts.
01:25:25Restricted zones.
01:25:27Places that don't show up in any civilian database.
01:25:29But in those rifts,
01:25:30something happened in there.
01:25:32That envelope is an invitation.
01:25:34It's a door.
01:25:40I'll go.
01:26:05No badge.
01:26:07No uniform either.
01:26:08Is he ordinary?
01:26:09I don't know.
01:26:13No badge.
01:26:14No uniform.
01:26:15What are you doing in here?
01:26:17Meeting with Director Reynolds.
01:26:18I'm here to see the director.
01:26:21Reynolds?
01:26:26What?
01:26:27Did a rift open near your house?
01:26:29You looking for someone to come deal with it?
01:26:31Nobody said I needed a uniform to walk down a hallway.
01:26:34My grandfather helped build this program.
01:26:36My dad held the school fire record until two years ago.

01:27:15Prove your worth.
01:27:16I will.
01:27:23That's the one Reynolds let in?
01:27:25Zero on the F-Greed assessment.
01:27:27Literally zero.
01:27:29He's not even wearing a uniform.
01:27:34Ladies and gentlemen, he actually showed up.
01:27:37I told you yesterday.
01:27:38I told all of you.
01:27:39Reynolds let a civilian walk through the front gate.
01:27:42And here he is.
01:27:43Ready for his assessment.
