Short filmTranscript
00:00:00When I was seven,
00:00:30I had no memory of being six.
00:00:33It didn't matter.
00:00:35My parents adopted me because they loved me.
00:00:38And Aaron?
00:00:41Aaron took me in because he cared.
00:00:44But even then, I didn't know how much.
00:00:49As I carried him, so he would carry me through so much.
00:00:55This is only where it begins.
00:00:58Yeah?
00:00:59Hi, Aaron.
00:01:00Where have you been?
00:01:02Where have you been?
00:01:03Getting shot in all sorts of weird places?
00:01:08I've been installed as Major General in my house.
00:01:13I'm Authority Sector now.
00:01:15Sometimes that means taking some hits.
00:01:18Well, I would say congratulations, but I know you only probably got the position early because your father's health failed.
00:01:25Yeah, he's gone.
00:01:28Lester heard your parents were dead too.
00:01:30And your aunt and uncle were taking you in?
00:01:33Well, since I'm adopted, my aunt and uncle didn't even see me as my parents' kid, so...
00:01:38Come home with me.
00:01:40What?
00:01:41Going from friends to being family isn't that weird of a leap, right?
00:01:46Okay.
00:01:47Silla, I'm sorry I'm late.
00:02:00I was turning in my paper.
00:02:01You'll just have to catch up with us.
00:02:03Hey, this is my new best friend as of yesterday, T. New bestie, this is Leah.
00:02:10When was the last time I saw you?
00:02:12Uh, a few months ago.
00:02:14At your father's funeral.
00:02:16I'm so sorry.
00:02:17Don't worry about it.
00:02:18I'm over it.
00:02:19But he's your dad.
00:02:21Was my dad.
00:02:22You understand.
00:02:24When you work for the Authority Sector, you have no time for family.
00:02:28Well, Aaron has plenty of time for-
00:02:30Aaron.
00:02:31Aaron.
00:02:32Aaron.
00:02:33Enough about Aaron.
00:02:34Don't talk to me about him.
00:02:36He has no time for me.
00:02:38Calm down, Benzel.
00:02:41I've got just the thing you need.
00:02:46Oh.
00:02:47Uh, none for me.
00:02:50Thanks.
00:02:51Brendan!
00:02:52Hi!
00:02:53Leah.
00:02:54Fancy seeing you outside the classroom again.
00:02:58You're not spying on me, are you?
00:03:00No, I'm not.
00:03:01I promise.
00:03:02And I did do my paper on the Civil War in Lisagore before I arrived.
00:03:07Great.
00:03:08And I'm looking forward to reading what you know about my mother country.
00:03:11So, who's the hottie?
00:03:12Your boy?
00:03:13Oh, that's just Brendan.
00:03:14He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:16Mmm.
00:03:17I think he likes you.
00:03:18You should show him your appreciation for all of his hard work.
00:03:19Stella!
00:03:20Here's to being appreciated for all of our hard work.
00:03:24Oh, that's just Brendan.
00:03:27He's the TA for my Modern Conflicts class.
00:03:30Mmm.
00:03:31I think he likes you.
00:03:32You should show him your appreciation for all of his hard work.
00:03:36Stella!
00:03:37Here's to being appreciated for all of our hard work.
00:03:40Um, will you excuse me?
00:03:54I just need to go to the restroom.
00:03:57Mm-hmm.
00:03:58The restroom.
00:03:59Right.
00:04:00Have fun.
00:04:01Ha, ha, ha.
00:04:02Ha, ha, ha.
00:04:03Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:04:04Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:04:06What's the Situation Report?
00:04:32We've traced the distribution of their new designer drug to this club.
00:04:36We were able to get a sample of it, and the lab boffins determined there are markers
00:04:40in the chemical composition which determine it's a Class VII.
00:04:43Damn it!
00:04:46What can you tell me about this mesmer?
00:04:48It's fast acting, and it was originally developed as a date rape drug.
00:05:01It raises libido, lowers inhibition, causes memory loss, and induces a potentially fatal
00:05:06brain fever in the victim.
00:05:08It also increases the sensitivity of the nerve receptors, causing intense sensations of pain
00:05:13and pleasure.
00:05:20So how does it work?
00:05:33You can't tell what's wrong at first.
00:05:38After all, starving is very different from just being a little hungry.
00:05:44And if you suddenly become a bottomless little pit of need, you might just jump anything with
00:05:51a pulse to see if it fills you.
00:05:55So pretty.
00:05:57We need a doctor!
00:06:00This is what I think it is?
00:06:01A doctor can't help her.
00:06:03What is it?
00:06:05Mesmer.
00:06:06Are you certain?
00:06:09As certain as I can be, without a blood test.
00:06:11Alright.
00:06:12You said the drug causes a potentially fatal brain fever?
00:06:16Look, if a doctor can't help her, then who can?
00:06:19What's the cure?
00:06:21There is no cure.
00:06:23No antidote.
00:06:24We can only mitigate these symptoms.
00:06:28Mitigate how?
00:06:30The only known treatment is skin contact.
00:06:34Lots of skin contact.
00:06:36I don't know if she's seen anyone.
00:06:41We haven't talked about her love life in over a year.
00:06:45I have a suggestion.
00:06:46Maybe...
00:06:47Look, it can't just be anyone.
00:06:51She's too precious.
00:06:52It has to be someone that she loves.
00:06:54You.
00:06:55I want it to be you.
00:06:59Only you.
00:07:00Are you certain?
00:07:07Help me.
00:07:10Do you know what this means?
00:07:13Yes.
00:07:14I'll be outside if you need me.
00:07:30I'm bored.
00:07:52I'm bored.
00:07:56Don't worry.
00:07:57I've got just the thing.
00:07:59This has all the benefits and none of the drawbacks.
00:08:03I'll even throw it in for free.
00:08:05Ooh.
00:08:07Ahhhhhhh.
00:08:17Hey.
00:08:18You want to help me ride through this trip?
00:08:21Sorry.
00:08:22I don't offer those services.
00:08:26You smell just like him.
00:08:29I've got places to go.
00:08:32But I do have a couple of friends who are more than willing to help you out.
00:08:35For a price.
00:08:36Friends.
00:08:38Plural.
00:08:40Yes, please.
00:08:42It was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:08:50Everyone freeze.
00:08:51Authority sector is securing the area.
00:09:09Last night, the authority sector proceeded with a drug bust at a bar in the East End.
00:09:21Excuse me, Gary.
00:09:22Excuse me, Gary.
00:09:23They report that while their seizure of the drugs was successful, the leader of the ring remains at large.
00:09:29His true name still a mystery.
00:09:31One of the people arrested at the scene is the daughter of a recently fallen major general.
00:09:36University student Stella Shelley remains held for questioning.
00:09:41What?
00:09:43How dare they?
00:09:44Gary!
00:09:45Erin better not have anything to do with this.
00:09:52I'm afraid that Major General Erin Harold was in charge of the raid mom.
00:09:57It appears that Miss Stella is being held in the same facility as last time.
00:10:01Call the lawyers.
00:10:03Call the lawyer.
00:10:04Yeah, thanks for the update.
00:10:08And send Leah my love...
00:10:09Uh, let her know.
00:10:10I will call and check on her later.
00:10:13Mrs. Shelly, what may I do for you?
00:10:28You can begin by explaining why you had my daughter arrested, especially after you promised
00:10:32my husband that you'd take care of us.
00:10:35You know I can't comment on ongoing authority sector investigations.
00:10:38At the time of the arrest, I was unaware of Stella's presence at the sites.
00:10:44Be that as it may, you could have done something to prevent her name from being released to
00:10:47the press.
00:10:48Do you know how I felt hearing about my daughter's arrest?
00:10:52Like she was a common criminal?
00:10:53It was an embarrassment.
00:10:55I'm sure it isn't Erin's fault.
00:10:59I know.
00:11:00I put myself in a vulnerable situation.
00:11:04Sometimes I just get so upset about Eddie's death.
00:11:08I miss him so much.
00:11:12I'll see what I can do.
00:11:15Very well then.
00:11:17In 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?
00:11:39What happened?
00:11:40You were right, Ms. Jenkins.
00:11:41You had a very harsh encounter with a class 7 drug.
00:11:45We just got the blood test result back.
00:11:47When we got the result back, we also found some antibodies that's fighting the after effect
00:11:53of the drug.
00:11:55Lucky new.
00:11:56Lucky?
00:11:57Yes.
00:11:58Most people would need to be held for observation for weeks, but you're almost good as new.
00:12:10I am?
00:12:11Yes.
00:12:12I actually did a paper on this condition back in school.
00:12:15There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:12:18There's the monks of Ithbac, the old ostocracy of Lissagor, and the nudist colony in-
00:12:25If you're done with your examination, I'll sit the two of you up.
00:12:30Anything for the Major General.
00:12:32So, what really happened?
00:12:48Aaron treated you, then he carried you home, and he delegated the mission to me.
00:12:52I finished the bust.
00:12:54Okay, I remember going to find you guys, and I remember asking him something, but I want
00:13:01to know what-
00:13:02We seized the contraband, but we failed to ID the ringleader.
00:13:08We know he got away-
00:13:09Wasn't what I was asking.
00:13:10I mean, it was, but it's not what I wanted to know first.
00:13:15I know.
00:13:18But you were in trouble, and we were short on time.
00:13:23Aaron did what he had to do.
00:13:25Hey, we never have to talk about this again.
00:13:31Don't we?
00:13:32What are you doing?
00:13:33I wanted to talk to you after class.
00:13:38What, so you can criticize me about how I'm not taking my studies seriously enough?
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:55No thanks.
00:13:56You actually made some good points in your paper.
00:13:57You just, you didn't go far enough.
00:13:58You didn't cover half the required topics, and between that and the grammar, I just couldn't
00:14:02give you a better grade.
00:14:03Professor Olsen hasn't looked at the grades yet.
00:14:05I could temporarily lose your paper for a couple of days and give you the opportunity
00:14:11to rewrite it.
00:14:12Really?
00:14:13Thank you so much.
00:14:15I'm gonna get started right away.
00:14:20Hey.
00:14:21Tough teachers are a bummer.
00:14:24Oh, that, that was entirely my fault.
00:14:27Oh, really?
00:14:28Well, Aaron recently helped me out with a difficult situation.
00:14:32It's just a pity that he can't even exert a little influence to help you when some professor
00:14:36is giving you a hard time.
00:14:38It's not fair.
00:14:39But you know, it strikes me, I don't know you as well as I ought.
00:14:45After all, you are Aaron's family, and who knows what the future holds.
00:14:50So, in order for bygones to be bygones, I got you a gift.
00:14:55Oh, there's no need.
00:14:57I don't have it with me now, but how about I stop by Aaron's house and say an hour?
00:15:02Honestly, we're good.
00:15:04So ungrateful.
00:15:07Stuck up bitch.
00:15:14How's two or three sound?
00:15:16Oh, perfect.
00:15:18Toodles.
00:15:37Leah.
00:15:38So good of you to wait for me.
00:15:40I didn't think you were still coming.
00:15:43I would never break my word.
00:15:54Poor thing.
00:15:56It appears my gift is more needed than I thought.
00:16:04I'm sorry.
00:16:05I really think you should go.
00:16:06I've got some homework to get back to.
00:16:08Oh, don't be ridiculous.
00:16:09I want to see how it fits.
00:16:25Aaron!
00:16:26Stella, didn't expect to see you here.
00:16:28I hope we're still on for lunch tomorrow.
00:16:30Yeah, that's fine.
00:16:31Awesome.
00:16:32We'll be all so excited to see you.
00:16:36My god, what'd you do to it?
00:16:37No, it was already like this.
00:16:39I just came out to show you.
00:16:40If you didn't like it, you could just say so.
00:16:42Or just accept it and not wear it.
00:16:45Honestly.
00:16:46What?
00:16:47No, I...
00:16:48Excuse me.
00:16:52I thought Leah and I could take a day to bond.
00:16:54After all, she and I both went through something so terrible.
00:16:59But it's like...
00:17:00Like she blames me or something, you know?
00:17:05But you would know better than that.
00:17:07Don't you, Aaron?
00:17:08Leah makes mistakes like anyone else.
00:17:10Please ask that you give her the benefit of the doubt.
00:17:13And you're going to tell her the same thing?
00:17:14Yes.
00:17:15Sorry, I have to go.
00:17:20We'll talk later.
00:17:30Yeah, we're just gonna go do the thing.
00:17:35Yeah, because we had a thing to do later.
00:17:38And now it's later.
00:17:45I know I was short with you at my dad's funeral.
00:17:50It's okay.
00:17:52It's not.
00:17:54Daddy loved Aaron.
00:17:55He always knew that he'd become part of the family one day.
00:17:59I just didn't think he'd die before he got the chance to see it happen.
00:18:03And I understand that Aaron needs some time to grieve before he and I can really become an us.
00:18:10You and Aaron?
00:18:12Look, I get it.
00:18:13More than you know.
00:18:15He's taken such good care of you.
00:18:18And he's strong, powerful, not to mention his everything.
00:18:23What are you talking about?
00:18:24What are you talking about?
00:18:25For some of us, it's a babysitter.
00:18:27For others, it's a teacher or your mom's boy toy.
00:18:30The point is that we've all had inappropriate relationships.
00:18:34Inappropriate?
00:18:35I know I'm not that much older than you, so it can seem a little weird, but I can keep a secret.
00:18:41I'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.
00:18:51When I'm what?
00:18:56When I'm what?
00:18:58What?
00:18:59Gone.
00:19:00At least, I assume you'll be able to go.
00:19:03That's every goal for serious university students, right?
00:19:07Go out in the world and work your own field.
00:19:10Yeah.
00:19:11I mean, I don't have any post-graduation plans yet.
00:19:14Okay.
00:19:15Well, my bad.
00:19:18I thought that D was a fluke.
00:19:19I just know that striking out on your own can be really important.
00:19:23And you're going to need distance.
00:19:25Especially if Aaron encouraged you.
00:19:29Oh, no.
00:19:30He's never-
00:19:31I didn't mean to imply that.
00:19:32No.
00:19:33Of course not.
00:19:34He's Aaron.
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:36Right.
00:19:37No.
00:19:38I mean, he's always been like a, you know-
00:19:40No.
00:19:41Breathe.
00:19:42It's okay.
00:19:43Like a brother.
00:19:44I know.
00:19:45And like, don't worry about the dress.
00:19:47I was mad about it before, but I'm not anymore.
00:19:55I knew I would make my face and I need to just take care of it.
00:20:00And until then, I'm like, okay, okay, I'm going to go back to the dress.
00:20:04Okay, so that's totally fine.
00:20:05It's okay.
00:20:06I'm not going to go back to the dress.
00:20:07We are still in here.
00:20:08I want to go back to the dress.
00:20:09And I'm not going to go back to the dress.
00:20:10And not go back to the dress.
00:20:11I'm not going to go back to the dress.
00:20:12Now it's totally fine.
00:20:13I don't think you think you'll have to go back to the dress.
00:20:15In the dress, it's all dating.
00:20:16Is there something I should know about the lunch with you and Stella tomorrow?
00:20:23Uh, Mrs. Shelley invited me.
00:20:26She 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.
00:20:40He was dying when he asked me to take care of them.
00:20:43Going to lunch?
00:20:44That's like the least I can do.
00:20:47No, yeah, I know that.
00:20:49But I also know that Stella was one of the last people I talked to before I started to feel that drug.
00:20:57But here's to being appreciated for all our hard work.
00:21:08Do you think she did it?
00:21:09I think it's possible.
00:21:11Are you certain?
00:21:12No.
00:21:14You weren't the only one under the influence of something that night.
00:21:20So was Stella.
00:21:22Granted, she might have taken it herself.
00:21:25And I can understand why she might not want to admit that, but...
00:21:29She's not our primary suspect.
00:21:31Who is?
00:21:31That T.A. who's been following you around.
00:21:35Brendan Martin.
00:21:39What?
00:21:39Brendan?
00:21:42Brendan?
00:21:44Are you serious?
00:21:45Yeah.
00:21:47Take a look.
00:21:49Security footage has him at the scene right before the raid.
00:21:52Look, he's exiting, he's handling a lot of people's drinks, and then he talks to you.
00:21:58Barely a minute before you came to me.
00:22:01Brendan's not a criminal.
00:22:02His documentation has a lot of holes in it, Leah.
00:22:05Okay, well that's what happens when you're a refugee from another country.
00:22:08Aren't you the one who told me that?
00:22:09Yes, but that's also what happens when you're a spy.
00:22:13Or, or, when you work for the biggest drug ring in Brazil.
00:22:17He does not work for a drug ring, and he wouldn't hurt me.
00:22:20How do you know that?
00:22:21Because he's my friend.
00:22:26I don't agree with you about Brendan.
00:22:27But I know you always have my best interests at heart, so.
00:22:33Always.
00:22:34I don't like when we fight like this.
00:22:37Me neither.
00:22:39Hey, do you remember when we used to have movie nights?
00:22:42Yeah, you hogged all the popcorn?
00:22:44I did not!
00:22:45But I will make the popcorn if you choose the movie.
00:22:57Stella, pour me some tea.
00:23:00Why?
00:23:01Gary has the day off.
00:23:02Also hand me the report behind you.
00:23:09Now, Aaron.
00:23:12I'm glad you've taken the steps to make things right with Stella in the authority sector business the other day.
00:23:18Mrs. Shelley, I'm really sorry about...
00:23:19You're sorry for our loss.
00:23:21Yes, I know.
00:23:23And you miss my husband, too.
00:23:24Well, Joseph was always a workaholic, so as a fellow Major General, you knew him better than any of us.
00:23:32There's anything that I can do?
00:23:33Oh, there is.
00:23:35You promised to take care of Stella, and to look after our family.
00:23:39Yes.
00:23:40I intend for you to honor that promise, especially since you slept with my daughter shortly before arresting her.
00:23:47What?
00:23:48Be quiet, Stella.
00:23:49Mrs. Shelley, I did not.
00:23:51I 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.
00:23:57Stella was quite loose-lipped when I picked her up from the facility.
00:24:01She smelled of, well, certain liberties, and she kept sniffing at her sleeves.
00:24:07When I ask, she babbled on about a wild night and still having the smell of your cologne on her clothes.
00:24:14I know my daughter might not be so forthcoming at the moment, but she was in no shape to lie to me then.
00:24:21So, by all means, deny what you must, just so long as you make good on your promises.
00:24:26Come in.
00:24:35Here's my paper. Thank you for the second chance.
00:24:38Yeah. Have a seat. It looks better already.
00:24:42Did you learn anything interesting about Lizagla?
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.
00:24:54How so?
00:24:55It seems like they were governing responsibly, and then, out of nowhere, bam, civil war.
00:25:00They disappear.
00:25:04Wait.
00:25:05Um, do you have any memories from before you were adopted?
00:25:09Who told you I was adopted?
00:25:10I, I can't really explain. Not, not here. It's, it's not secure enough. I, I could show you. Come with me. Please.
00:25:18I'm not going anywhere with you.
00:25:22Leah, it's, it's important. Please. I don't mean you any harm. I just really need you to trust me. Please.
00:25:35Fine. But I'm not going to some secondary location with you.
00:25:39You can come to my house. Aaron will be there, so no funny business.
00:25:45All right. I'll see you in an hour.
00:26:09You got buried treasure in there?
00:26:12Of a sort.
00:26:14This is yours.
00:26:16I've been here.
00:26:21A bach.
00:26:38You got buried treasure in your eyes.
00:26:45Mom, Mom!
00:26:47Mom, Mom!
00:26:49Mia, darling.
00:26:49We need to go now.
00:27:01What was that?
00:27:02What was that?
00:27:06Did that spark any memories?
00:27:09I don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:13Do you remember who gave you the doll?
00:27:17Your mother.
00:27:18My mother is dead.
00:27:21Why are you doing this?
00:27:24Leah.
00:27:24Please don't touch me.
00:27:28Touch her again and I'll kill you.
00:27:30How long have you been following us?
00:27:31Why did you give her the drugs?
00:27:33I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
00:27:37Get off me.
00:27:37Calm down. I'm fine.
00:27:39You didn't sound fine.
00:27:40I was upset, but not with him.
00:27:43At least, not enough for this.
00:27:45I invited him over.
00:27:47I don't need you to play knight in shining armor.
00:27:50I need you to leave.
00:27:53Now.
00:27:54We'll talk later.
00:27:57Alright.
00:27:58Alright.
00:27:58I don't want that man in my house.
00:28:04Okay. You know what?
00:28:04Last 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.
00:28:10Who told you that?
00:28:12Little miss, I can do no wrong, Stella.
00:28:14Oh, leave her out of this.
00:28:15Why? What are you going to do? Marry her?
00:28:18What? No.
00:28:20Well, you might want to tell her that.
00:28:28Mama, where are you?
00:28:55Leah, darling.
00:28:59We need to go now.
00:29:01Yes, Mama.
00:29:13What is it?
00:29:14Please come meet with me.
00:29:15It's urgent.
00:29:15I 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.
00:29:24I'm not going to leave the country with you.
00:29:27It's nothing like that.
00:29:29I need your help to welcome someone.
00:29:31Please.
00:29:32It's important.
00:29:43I need sleep.
00:29:44Meet me in the morning, then.
00:29:46The flight arrives in four hours.
00:29:48You 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.
00:30:04Leah.
00:30:05Leah.
00:30:05Oh my god.
00:30:29Oh my god.
00:30:29She's fine.
00:30:32She got up early to go run an errand.
00:30:37Did she say what kind of errand it was?
00:30:38No.
00:30:38Okay.
00:30:39Okay.
00:30:44Okay.
00:30:49Okay.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:53Man, please tell me we have something on my damn cousin and that damn drug ring.
00:30:59Afraid not, boss. However, we did find something interesting regarding something else entirely.
00:31:17I'm not committing to anything. You know, for all I know, they're just weird dreams.
00:31:22Do you want to tell me about your dreams?
00:31:24When we were kids, did we used to play together?
00:31:29And you had a pet frog named Mortimer.
00:31:38All my dreams are real.
00:31:41Do you have any other memories? Maybe of your family?
00:31:46Yes, Mama.
00:31:47Just a soft voice. Reminders to sit up straight. Rule wisely.
00:31:54That's right. You're a princess, Leah.
00:31:56A princess?
00:31:58It can't be.
00:32:00There are tests that can prove it.
00:32:02The easiest is to look for specific antibodies which can be traced back to the blood of the...
00:32:07Blood of the Lizagor family.
00:32:08Yeah.
00:32:09There's no groups of people that can shake off this drug very quickly.
00:32:12I'm immune to the after effects of class 7 drugs.
00:32:17Are you certain?
00:32:19Help me.
00:32:21Still processing?
00:32:23Understatement.
00:32:28You've been waiting a long time to do that.
00:32:32Waiting a long time for it to mean something.
00:32:34Who are we meeting?
00:32:35Lady Tiffany Altiman.
00:32:37Queen of Lizagor.
00:32:38Your mother.
00:32:40Mama.
00:32:41Leah.
00:32:42Your majesty.
00:32:43Your highness.
00:32:44We ought to move somewhere more private.
00:32:45Excuse me.
00:32:46I suppose you were too young to remember what Lizagor was like before you left.
00:32:49Um.
00:32:50I lost my memories in an accident when I was 7.
00:32:54Oh.
00:32:55There was a coup.
00:32:56Following a bloody civil war.
00:32:57Your father and I, we feared for your safety.
00:32:59We sent you out of the country ahead of the rest of the family.
00:33:01But, word of your escape got to our enemies.
00:33:03And they sabotaged your route.
00:33:04And you were too young to remember what Lizagor was like before you left.
00:33:05Um.
00:33:06I lost my memories in an accident when I was 7.
00:33:07Oh.
00:33:08There was a coup.
00:33:09Following 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.
00:33:17But, word of your escape got to our enemies.
00:33:21And they sabotaged your route.
00:33:24That's when we got the news that you had died.
00:33:32Once Lady Tiffany and Lord Edmund were trapped in the country as political prisoners,
00:33:36none of their allies could contact them.
00:33:38Uh.
00:33:39Lord Edmund?
00:33:40Your father.
00:33:41He was a good man.
00:33:43And a brave one.
00:33:44He loved you very much.
00:33:46What happened to him?
00:33:49He died in prison.
00:33:50Two years ago, I was able to find Lady Tiffany.
00:33:53And tell her the news.
00:33:55News?
00:33:56I found the lost princess.
00:33:59Oh, shh.
00:34:00Shh.
00:34:01Darling.
00:34:02We can be a family once more.
00:34:04No.
00:34:05No.
00:34:06I have a family.
00:34:07Aaron.
00:34:08Yes, of course.
00:34:09See Jenkins.
00:34:10We will never forget See Jenkins.
00:34:11No.
00:34:12No.
00:34:13Aaron.
00:34:14He needs to know.
00:34:15Who?
00:34:16Harold.
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?
00:34:35Your fiancé.
00:34:37Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:38Sir Brendan, of course.
00:34:40No.
00:34:41Oh?
00:34:42I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:43I was getting to it.
00:34:44Brendan?
00:34:45Brendan?
00:34:46My defence, your majesty.
00:34:47You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:34:48What was I supposed to do?
00:34:49It is one of our oldest traditions for the heir of the crown to marry a friend born into the espionage sector.
00:34:54The curriculum of this place is a bit lacking, I'm afraid.
00:34:55It makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:34:56I would have thought for sure.
00:34:57I thought for sure you would have told her that.
00:34:58I was getting to it.
00:34:59Brendan?
00:35:00My defence, your majesty.
00:35:01You arranged your flight ahead of schedule.
00:35:02What was I supposed to do?
00:35:03It is one of our oldest traditions for the heir of the crown to marry a friend born into the Espionage Sector.
00:35:08The curriculum of this place is a bit lacking.
00:35:13I'm afraid it makes it difficult to bring it up naturally.
00:35:19Yes?
00:35:24Stella, I require an update on Aaron.
00:35:26I want a timeline on your nuptials.
00:35:29It's not that easy, Mom.
00:35:30I'm sorry.
00:35:31Do you wish to find yourself pregnant and destitute in a West End back alley?
00:35:36Just because I can't get a Major General to marry me right away?
00:35:39It doesn't mean that nobody would at all.
00:35:41I guarantee every woman trapped in that back alley told herself the same thing.
00:35:46No excuses, Stella.
00:35:49I've just got to take care of that Leah first.
00:35:52I've got a plan to show her that I mean business.
00:35:54You should already be on the next step.
00:35:56I'm working on Aaron, okay?
00:35:58It's just going to take-
00:36:00Stella?
00:36:02You will say goodbye to your mother properly, young lady.
00:36:08Oh.
00:36:09It's going to look great.
00:36:10You like that?
00:36:12Oh, that's nice.
00:36:13That's nice.
00:36:14That's nice.
00:36:15And, uh...
00:36:21Damn.
00:36:23I'm forgetting something.
00:36:24I'm forgetting something.
00:36:25Oh.
00:36:29You idiot!
00:36:30I was the one who hired you.
00:36:31You got the wrong girl!
00:36:32Oh, but...
00:36:33You know, that's really rich.
00:36:34That's a good one.
00:36:35I've never heard that before.
00:36:36That's cute even.
00:36:37I was not-
00:36:38Listen.
00:36:39I got my marching orders, Missy.
00:36:40I'm here to grab Stella Shelly.
00:36:41And that, is 100% you.
00:36:42I gave you this damn assignment.
00:36:44Pick up target.
00:36:45Transport gagged in car.
00:36:47Tie up in public space.
00:36:48Beat red props.
00:36:49And dress up with humiliating message!
00:36:52Oh, my God!
00:36:54I've never heard that before.
00:36:55I've never heard that before.
00:36:56That's cute even.
00:36:57I was not-
00:36:58Listen.
00:36:59I got my marching orders, Missy.
00:37:00I'm here to grab Stella Shelly.
00:37:01And that is 100% you.
00:37:03I gave you this damn assignment.
00:37:04Pick up target.
00:37:05Transport gagged in car.
00:37:06Tie up in public space.
00:37:07Oh my god. I did not mean breadcrumbs literally!
00:37:14A. You just described our whole morning, so that means nothing to me, okay?
00:37:20And B. I ain't getting paid to be creative.
00:37:22Overpriced hack!
00:37:24Why do young people gotta take things so personally?
00:37:30Last step. Humiliating message.
00:37:35Hmm.
00:37:40My fiancé is a major general, and once he hears about this, you are done!
00:37:48Oh, I'm scared. Let's do it.
00:37:53Get this off of me.
00:37:55No.
00:38:00You may recall a black market site we were researching a few months back?
00:38:04A henchman for hire?
00:38:06Still can't believe they went with that name.
00:38:09It's accurate.
00:38:17One of our guys cracked the encryption on one of their servers?
00:38:19Finally.
00:38:20We do have to move quickly.
00:38:23They have a rather disturbing policy when it comes to compromised counts.
00:38:27It's automation, and it's finicky.
00:38:30Can we hack it?
00:38:31Maybe, but I'd rather we handled this one personally.
00:38:34There's some prominent people who've been using their services.
00:38:39I'd ask you if you're sure about this, but it's already in progress.
00:38:46I'm sure. And I'm not sorry.
00:38:50Somebody help me, please!
00:38:52Oh my god, Aaron.
00:38:53I'm so glad to see you.
00:38:54I'm so glad to see you.
00:38:55You have to get the guy who did this to me.
00:38:56You have to arrest him.
00:38:57Aaron.
00:38:58Aaron, are you hearing me?
00:39:00Oh, I hear you.
00:39:01and I will.
00:39:02Do you know what happens when henchmen for hire servers detect authority sector tampering
00:39:10with a client's accounts?
00:39:11No.
00:39:12I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:13I'm so glad to see you.
00:39:14You have to get the guy who did this to me.
00:39:16You have to arrest him.
00:39:17Aaron.
00:39:18Aaron, are you hearing me?
00:39:21Oh, I hear you.
00:39:22And I will.
00:39:23Do you know what happens when henchmen for hire servers detect authority sector tampering
00:39:28with a client's accounts?
00:39:29No.
00:39:31How would I know I-
00:39:32They flag the potentially compromised client's accounts
00:39:36and flag them for death.
00:39:37I don't see how this is relevant to me, Aaron.
00:39:41Ruben cut the funding to your accounts before he realized.
00:39:44Ruben's a liar.
00:39:46Stop!
00:39:48Ruben has never lied to me.
00:39:52And he never will.
00:39:53And besides, you're missing the point.
00:39:56Um, what's the point?
00:39:58This was originally gonna be an assassination attempt, Stella!
00:40:01So don't you dare say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:08So don't you ever say that I didn't protect you.
00:40:11I'm not feeling very protected at the moment, considering I'm still here.
00:40:14And the guy who did this to me is still out there.
00:40:19We 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, that is not what-
00:40:28Justice?!
00:40:29I think it is.
00:40:31I think watching what you had planned for Leah done to you,
00:40:36I think that's beyond justice.
00:40:39I think that's mercy.
00:40:42And this is the final mercy that you or your family will ever get from me.
00:40:56Let's try this one more time.
00:41:00Huh?
00:41:17Okay.
00:41:26Princess?
00:41:41Princess?
00:41:46I don't see it.
00:41:47I should tell Eren.
00:41:57He'll know what to do.
00:41:59You'll tell Eren nothing.
00:42:01With the relaxation of the Empire's border laws,
00:42:11Lizagor's queen in exile has announced her intention to visit Rosal.
00:42:16The exact day and purpose is to renzee.
00:42:19I'm still on stakeout.
00:42:21No leads yet.
00:42:22Do you remember the cologne incident from seven years ago?
00:42:25The one involving your cousin?
00:42:27On your mother's side?
00:42:28Tyler, yes.
00:42:29Hard to forget.
00:42:31I was grateful he got kicked out before Leah had to meet him.
00:42:33Are you sure that I got the last crate?
00:42:35Eren, when that petty little shit learned you how to favorite anything,
00:42:39he wanted it for himself.
00:42:41But I'm not gonna forget that he bought every last bottle of that cologne.
00:42:45Because-
00:42:46Because General Shelly recruited my help convincing the damn store to make one last run of the stuff for you.
00:42:53I, uh, I didn't know that.
00:42:56Don't worry about it.
00:42:57I did it half for you and half out of spite.
00:43:01Someone who smelled like me kept Stella company the other night.
00:43:04And I need to know if that means what I think it means.
00:43:06I'm already checking the flight records.
00:43:09Ah, hell.
00:43:11He is here.
00:43:16Your cousin has been a hit bet in the past two years.
00:43:24And hasn't been to visit any monks.
00:43:27Not unless those monks were running a lot of drugs.
00:43:30Class seven included.
00:43:31Damn it!
00:43:34I'm sorry, Eren.
00:43:36I don't know why he didn't come up on the radar or the CSAT.
00:43:40I do.
00:43:40When my aunt and uncle left the country, their names were flagged for watch.
00:43:49But I argued with Major General Shelly 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.
00:44:10I do.
00:44:23Ah, there you are.
00:44:25Eren probably never mentioned me.
00:44:27He and I go way back.
00:44:29And as I told you, Miss Moffat, I know all about you.
00:44:34I wonder, does Aaron still make Ruben do his dirty work and pretend like it was an accident?
00:44:40He always was predictable like that.
00:44:44I reckon you're the same way.
00:44:47You know, he always did gravitate towards similar peas to his pod.
00:44:51And with a face like yours, gravitate indeed.
00:44:56Or so his type.
00:44:59But I bet he never mentioned that either.
00:45:01Propriety, am I right?
00:45:03Can't be seen taking advantage of the sad orphan in his upright, mature care.
00:45:09At least, that's the take Mademoiselle Stella has been hammering home.
00:45:13What a gold digger.
00:45:15I admire that in a bitch.
00:45:17Oh, stop your fretting.
00:45:19You're a hostage.
00:45:21You got, oh, a 40% chance of making it up to life.
00:45:25Most players make their cliché play and sacrifice their pawns.
00:45:31But the patient ones leave them perfectly positioned on the board to take advantage of the other guy.
00:45:39And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:45:43Are you ready for your close-up?
00:45:49Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:01Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:15Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:19Now smile and say cheese.
00:46:21Come alone, or Miss Muffet won't survive the night.
00:46:31They're late.
00:46:33They're unprofessionally late.
00:46:35Makes a guy feel lonely.
00:46:37Hm?
00:46:38Oh right, you can't talk.
00:46:41Got anything to say?
00:46:47Who are you?
00:46:49Me?
00:46:50I'm the future general of Harold House.
00:46:53No.
00:46:55That's what you get for being a smug pea in your provincial little pod.
00:47:01And where have you been?
00:47:03Getting coffee.
00:47:04We can get you an extra if you want.
00:47:06Get into your positions.
00:47:08Slay.
00:47:11Aaron!
00:47:16Let her go.
00:47:18I said if you came alone, you would see her alive.
00:47:22That doesn't mean I'm relinquishing bargaining chips at the start.
00:47:26Put them in the fun chair, boys.
00:47:32Do you want me to drop the search for you?
00:47:34For your drug ring?
00:47:36Wait, he's the-
00:47:38Yes, Miss Muffet.
00:47:39I know this one is shit at keeping you informed.
00:47:42But do try and keep up.
00:47:44You know, I want so much more.
00:47:48And you owe me so much more.
00:47:52I kept your name from being flagged.
00:47:54You kept mine!
00:47:55You turned me in!
00:47:57I turned your parents in.
00:47:58And me along with them.
00:48:00Oh, don't act so high and mighty about this now!
00:48:03You took my parents down that shithole!
00:48:05And you expect me to be grateful?
00:48:07Maybe 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.
00:48:41Because 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.
00:48:53And you're coming back.
00:49:03You could just choose from.
00:49:06Again, the security systemums earned eternity.
00:49:13Isn't it?
00:49:23oh she's got it in a bitch afterwards you hurt her and you get nothing from me and i know you want something from me more than just my pain

01:02:00You're welcome.
01:02:02Well, it's my ability to chase suspects and your ability to open doors.
01:02:07Maybe we can pave the way for better international relations.
01:02:10Maybe.
01:02:11If you'd stop playing on Leah.
01:02:13Maybe.
01:02:14If she asked me to.
01:02:17So, where is she?
01:02:19With Aaron.
01:02:26It's inferior to Lizagor tea, you know.
01:02:35Don't make me open a door on you too.
01:02:39How are you feeling?
01:02:54Better.
01:02:55Thanks to Leah.
01:02:58Good.
01:02:59But I still need to get you checked out.
01:03:01I called the doctor and she's going to meet you at home when you arrive.
01:03:05Um, I'll be right back.
01:03:10You love him.
01:03:11I do.
01:03:12And I wish you the best.
01:03:15It's been an honor serving you both.
01:03:19So, what happens now?
01:03:22Well, Lady Tiffany has decided to remain in Rozeal.
01:03:27With 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 Lizagor.
01:03:36It may be in chaos now, but I'll always remain loyal to the royal family.
01:03:43Thank you for everything you've done, for me and for my family.
01:03:46Goodbye, Princess.
01:03:56Princess, should I be worried?
01:03:59It's a long story.
01:04:00I'll tell you about it when we get home.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:03But, before there's any other misunderstandings, I want to make something clear.
01:04:08About what?
01:04:09Leah, I love you.
01:04:11I know that might seem sudden, but it's not.
01:04:18Look, over everything we've been through the last few weeks, I just...
01:04:21I just want to ensure that there are not any misunderstandings.
01:04:28I'm so in love with you.
01:04:30And I have been.
01:04:32For a long time.
01:04:35I want you to know.
01:04:37I want everyone to know that.
01:04:41Leah, please say something.
01:04:45I love you.
01:04:46I love you too.
01:04:51In that case, shall we let the world know?
01:04:56Leah Jenkins, will you marry me?
01:05:08Yes.
01:05:09Yes.
01:05:10Oh my god.
01:05:11Yes.
01:05:13Yes.
01:05:15Yes!
01:05:17Oh my god.
01:05:19Oh my god.
01:05:38High General, I didn't realize I'd be seeing you in person today.
01:05:44The situation called for it, Lieutenant. You and the Major General have cause to be proud.
01:05:48Thank you, sir.
01:05:53Major General Aaron Harrell, I am here on behalf of Ruan Seal itself to congratulate you on completing your mission and ensuring the safety of our people.
01:06:01The honor is mine, High General Sheng.
01:06:03When you first undertook this task, I conferred with my fellow elders.
01:06:07We had faith in your success, and thus already had in mind the next mission that we wish to offer you.
01:06:18We have an undercover mission overseas.
01:06:22We need someone who is truly capable to investigate a colony in Ithbec.
01:06:26Hi, General. I thank you. I do. But I already know I cannot accept.
01:06:33You can't?
01:06:37An undercover mission to Ithbec would interfere with planning my wedding.
01:06:43You were...
01:06:46Oh, I see. The utmost congratulations to you, Major General. May you both flourish.
01:07:01Gonna have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
01:07:04Gonna have to sucker someone else into it, I suppose.
