00:00:00When I was seven, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
00:00:04I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder
00:00:08when I was six years old.
00:00:12I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder
00:00:16when I was six years old.
00:00:20I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder
00:00:24when I was six years old.
00:00:28When I was seven, I had no memory of being six.
00:00:32It didn't matter. My parents adopted me
00:00:36because they loved me. And Aaron?
00:00:40Aaron 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.
00:00:52Through so much.
00:00:56That is only where it begins.
00:01:00Where have you been?
00:01:04Getting shot in all sorts of weird places?
00:01:08Been installed as Major General in my house.
00:01:12I'm Authority Sector now.
00:01:16Sometimes that means taking some hits.
00:01:20I would say congratulations, but I know you only probably got the position early
00:01:24because you failed, too.
00:01:28Yeah, he's gone. Lester heard your parents were dead, too.
00:01:32And your aunt and uncle were taking you in?
00:01:36Well, since I'm adopted, my aunt and uncle didn't even see me as my parents' kid, so...
00:01:40Come home with me.
00:01:44What?
00:01:48Going from friends to being family isn't that weird of a leap, right?
00:01:52Slurp.
00:01:56Slurp.
00:02:00I'm sorry I'm late. I was turning in my paper.
00:02:04You'll just have to catch up with us.
00:02:08Hey, this is my new best friend as of yesterday, T.
00:02:12New bestie, this is Leah. When was the last time I saw you?
00:02:16A few months ago? At your father's funeral.
00:02:20He's your dad?
00:02:24He was my dad. You understand. When you work for the Authority Sector, you owe no time to family.
00:02:28Well, Aaron has plenty of time for-
00:02:32Aaron. Aaron. Aaron. Enough about Aaron.
00:02:36Don't talk to me about him. He has no time for me.
00:02:40Calm down, Benzo. I've got just the thing you need.
00:02:44Oh.
00:02:48Uh, none for me, thanks.
00:02:52Brendan, hi!
00:02:56Leah, fancy seeing you outside the classroom again. You're not spying on me, are you?
00:03:00No, I'm not, I promise.
00:03:04And I did do my paper on the Civil War in Lisagor before I arrived.
00:03:08Great, and I'm looking forward to reading what you know about my mother country.
00:03:12So, who's the hottie?
00:03:16Your boy?
00:03:20Oh, that's just Brendan. He's the T.A. for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:24I think he likes you.
00:03:28You should show him your appreciation for all his hard work.
00:03:32Stella!
00:03:36Here's to being appreciated for all our hard work.
00:03:40Good luck.
00:03:52Um, will you excuse me? I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:56Mm-hmm. The restroom.
00:04:00Right. Have fun.
00:04:10...
00:04:14...
00:04:18...
00:04:22...
00:04:26...
00:04:30What's the situation report?
00:04:34We traced the distribution of their new designer drug to this club.
00:04:38And the lab boffins determined there are markers in the chemical composition
00:04:42which determine it's a Class VII.
00:04:46Dammit! What can you tell me about this mesma?
00:04:50It's fast-acting, and it was originally developed as a date-rape drug.
00:04:54...
00:04:58...
00:05:02It raises libido, lowers inhibition, causes memory loss,
00:05:06and eventually fatal brain fever in the victim.
00:05:10It also increases the sensitivity of the nerve receptors, causing intense sensations of pain and pleasure.
00:05:14...
00:05:18...
00:05:22...

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