00:00:05Oh
00:00:10Holy shit, did I really bang a goddess last night?
00:00:18Fuck that was wild
00:00:30The danger gets me high
00:00:33Can't help myself
00:00:36Got secrets I can't tell
00:00:39I love the smell of gasoline
00:00:45I like the match to taste the heat
00:00:51I've always liked to play with fire
00:00:55Come here, fire
00:00:59Fuck me
00:01:19She used me, but I'm not even mad
00:01:38Last night really wiped me out
00:01:46Hey, wrong direction
00:01:48That's C rank territory
00:01:49Us powerless guys should stick to D rank
00:01:55Thanks, bro
00:01:56It's all the energy leaking from rift points
00:01:58It turns creatures into monsters
00:01:59Thank God some people survived the rift out breaking and became awakened
00:02:03Otherwise, who'd fight these things?
00:02:04Yeah, too bad us regular folks
00:02:06Even fully geared up can only handle D ranks
00:02:09Dog size, barely any bite
00:02:10I wish I had powers, man
00:02:12Who doesn't?
00:02:17Supervisor says we gotta move these sample crates to field cold storage
00:02:20They'll go bad otherwise
00:02:22Alright, let's move them
00:02:23Hey, hold on
00:02:26They may look small, but supervisor says they're 200 pounds each
00:02:30Don't touch them
00:02:30I'll grab the cart
00:02:34Doesn't look that heavy
00:02:41That's it?
00:02:42No way this is 200 pounds
00:02:43Nathan!
00:02:44Cart's here!
00:02:47What are you doing?
00:02:50These are light
00:02:52Come on, load them up
00:02:54Damn!
00:02:55Supervisor played me again
00:03:09Director's here, look sharp
00:03:11The director?
00:03:12New director dropped in for inspection today
00:03:14Word is she's the former director's daughter, Serena Sterling
00:03:17Federation's only S rank awaited
00:03:19S rank ability?
00:03:20That's insane
00:03:25Nathan, the S rank's heading this way
00:03:27Right behind you
00:03:29The S rank awakened
00:03:38Her?
00:03:42The woman I slept with last night
00:03:44Is the new director
00:03:46Nathan!
00:03:48What are you standing there for?
00:03:50This is our new director Sterling
00:03:53You were late this morning
00:03:55Don't you think you owe her an explanation?
00:03:57I'm sorry
00:03:58It was my fault
00:03:59Nathan, is it?
00:04:00Come see me at my vehicle later
00:04:03Yes, ma'am
00:04:05Supervisor Clayton
00:04:06Why is the D-Rake cleanup four hours behind schedule?
00:04:12Director, the logistics transport fell behind
00:04:14You're in charge
00:04:15Results are on you
00:04:16Understood
00:04:17Understood
00:04:18Next time this happens
00:04:19File your own transfer papers
00:04:22Next time this happens, file your own transfer papers
00:04:28Nathan, what was that about?
00:04:29Did you piss her off somehow?
00:04:31First day on the job and she's already coming for you
00:04:33Get back to work
00:04:35I didn't offend her
00:04:36Did I?
00:04:37I did pay her
00:04:37She wouldn't blacklist me in the bureau system over that
00:04:41Right?
00:04:47Director Sterling
00:04:55This
00:04:56Do you know what this is?
00:05:01$500 as a tip, how generous
00:05:04This is a misunderstanding
00:05:06A misunderstanding?
00:05:10You treated me like a whore
00:05:11And you call it a misunderstanding?
00:05:13Starting today, you're transferred to the Southern Warzone
00:05:15Frontline logistics support
00:05:19What?
00:05:19Director, that place-
00:05:21One year
00:05:21No transfer order
00:05:22No coming back to HQ
00:05:25If you can't handle it, resign
00:05:27Of course, I'll make sure everyone in the bureau knows
00:05:30That you quit because you weren't good enough
00:05:34Director
00:05:35Director
00:05:36Director, you're just trying to get rid of me
00:05:37Think whatever you want
00:05:39But I'd rather you see it as
00:05:40A chance to prove your worth
00:05:44Amy's medical bills depend on this job
00:05:46Gotta suck it up
00:05:48Understood, Director
00:05:49Consider it done

00:25:41nathan that was insane
00:25:43how'd you do that

00:25:57i gotta go see director sterling
00:26:01go go
00:26:09when did you awaken your ability
00:26:12a regular logistic specialist
00:26:14doesn't clear a c-rate cleanup site
00:26:16in half an hour
00:26:19i
00:26:28don't move
00:26:29what is she doing
00:26:37stay down
00:27:04director behind you
00:27:05Fuck.
00:27:30Enjoying yourself?
00:27:34Director, I...
00:27:50I'm sorry, Dad Director. I was trying to save you. I didn't mean to...
00:27:52Shut up.
00:28:04Something's off.
00:28:07This crystal core, the energy particle alignment is too uniform. Natural ones are random.
00:28:13You can tell with the naked eye?
00:28:16I... I don't know why. I just saw it.
00:28:18Most A-Rake will awaken and can't even see it. But he spotted it instantly.
00:28:27Someone's modifying crystal cores in secret. An engineering aberrance.
00:28:31I think someone inside the Bureau is behind this.
00:28:34I reviewed old inventory reports today. They all have discrepancies. Especially the crystal core recovery logs.
00:28:41Someone's been faking the crystal core counts?
00:28:46Director, why are you looking at me like that? I don't know anything.
00:28:50They've been entrenched in the Bureau for years. It's my first day. I need someone I can trust.
00:28:55Me?
00:28:56Don't flatter yourself. I trust you because you nearly got fired today.
00:29:01Thanks for the vote of confidence. So what do you need?
00:29:04Go to the high-level containment zone. Count the crystal cores before other logistics staff get in.
00:29:08If anything's missing, we'll know right away.
00:29:13Nathan, will you help me?
00:29:16Director, you give me way too much credit.
00:29:20I'm logistics. I don't fight. You want me in a high-rank containment zone with live abrians counting crystal cores?
00:29:25That's a death sentence.
00:29:26You still want that bonus?
00:29:30I kill the aberrates. You count the crystal cores.
00:29:33Get it done? Your performance bonus is doubles.
00:29:38You really know how to pick your people. Crystal core count? Consider it done.
00:29:48Don't just stand there. Start counting.
00:29:51On it.
00:29:54Director, B-rank Ripper!
00:29:57Kick it.
00:30:10I'm heading to the A-rank containment zone. Stay with me and cover me.
00:30:31A-raid Ripper.
00:30:32Nathan, the car pack is too thick.
00:30:34Draw its attention. Make it expose the abdomen.
00:30:44Let's go.
00:30:46Now!
00:31:01Done.
00:31:04Not bad.
00:31:06I learned from the best director.
00:31:07Let's move.
00:31:08Back to the bureau.
00:31:10You're checking those records now.
00:31:29Oh.
00:31:31Sorry, sorry.
00:31:32I'm so sorry.
00:31:34Where do you think you're touching?
00:31:37Director Sterling.
00:31:38Is that you in there?
00:31:41Who is it?
00:31:42It's me, Marcus.
00:31:44Just got back from a business trip.
00:31:46Saw your office light was still on, so I thought I'd check on you.
00:31:49What do we do?
00:31:50Hide, now.
00:31:52Why?
00:31:52I don't want rumors about us all over the bureau tomorrow.
00:31:55This is ridiculous.
00:31:57Director Sterling.
00:31:58Just get in.
00:32:00Not a sound.
00:32:05Come in.
00:32:10Working this late?
00:32:11I'm new here.
00:32:12Just trying to get up to speed on everything.
00:32:15That dedication.
00:32:16The whole bureau could learn from you.
00:32:18Now I see why the federal oversight hearing put you in charge.
00:32:21If you need anything, come to me.
00:32:24After all, I served as acting director for years.
00:32:27Did I do that last night?
00:32:29I appreciate the concern.
00:32:30But don't worry.
00:32:31I'm more than capable of running this place.
00:32:34After all, my parents ran this bureau before me.
00:32:39Good to hear.
00:32:42I look forward to you taking the bureau to new heights.
00:32:47I will.
00:32:51I'll let you get back to work.
00:32:58What's wrong, Serena?
00:33:01It's nothing.
00:33:03Just bump the desk.
00:33:05I hear you've been pushing hard.
00:33:07Several field visits back to back.
00:33:09Almost got me.
00:33:11Way too close.
00:33:12Just getting a first-hand look at each war zone.
00:33:16Ambition's good in the young.
00:33:18But don't wear yourself out.
00:33:21Oh, right.
00:33:22I heard you stop by logistics.
00:33:24No trouble, I hope.
00:33:26Everything went smoothly.
00:33:28Why?
00:33:29Is resources keeping tabs on logistics now?
00:33:31After all these years running resources,
00:33:33old habits die hard.
00:33:36I'll leave you to it, then.
00:33:43Director.
00:33:44That wasn't on purpose.
00:33:45I swear.
00:33:46Enough.
00:33:47What'd you find at logistics?
00:33:48That's why I'm here.
00:33:49The A-Rang Containment Zone filing.
00:33:5280 crystal cords short of the actual field count.
00:33:54At that rate,
00:33:55bureau-wide crystal cord theft hits 80%.
00:33:58You know how logistics works.
00:34:01Find where those stolen cores went.
00:34:05What?
00:34:07Director Sterling,
00:34:08do you know how much I've done today?
00:34:10More pay.
00:34:12You got it, Director.
00:34:13I'll find whoever's pulling the strings.
00:34:21Director, I've got a lead on where those crystal cords are going.
00:34:24They all trace back to one place.
00:34:26A private facility on the outskirts.
00:34:27Greystone Institute.
00:34:30Greystone Institute?
00:34:32That's under Marcus's name.
00:34:34I always knew he was no good.
00:34:36But I never thought he'd go this far.
00:34:38Nathan, you've done enough today.
00:34:40Go get some rest.
00:34:41Sure thing.
00:34:47Director,
00:34:47I'm heading out, okay?
00:34:49You are the reason I wake every morning
00:34:53Cause it's the only thing that gets me high
00:34:58You love my heart
00:35:01And you keep it revolving
00:35:05And all my worries
00:35:12Nathan Cole?
00:35:14Why are you coming out of the Director's office this early?
00:35:17Supervisor,
00:35:18I wouldn't bother the Director right now.
00:35:20She and I were up all night working.
00:35:21She's exhausted.
00:35:23Needs rest.
00:35:24You and the Director,
00:35:26up all night?
00:35:28Yeah,
00:35:28my back is killing me.
00:35:30The Director gave me the day off,
00:35:31heading home to rest.
00:35:35Does he think I'm an idiot?
00:35:37The Director would have to be blind
00:35:38to fall for that dead weight.
00:35:41The Director asked for all
00:35:42logistics supply recovery records.
00:35:44Is she working with Cole
00:35:45to investigate the crystal cores?
00:35:49Mr. Sterling!
00:35:54This is bad.
00:35:55Something's happened.
00:35:55What is it?
00:35:56What's got you so rattled?
00:35:58Mr. Sterling,
00:35:58the Director,
00:35:59she's looking into the crystal cores.
00:36:01What?
00:36:04Why panic?
00:36:05Let her dig.
00:36:06We've covered our tracks.
00:36:07What's she gonna find?
00:36:08Besides, she's on her own.
00:36:09No!
00:36:10She's not!
00:36:11She pulled Nathan Cole
00:36:12from our department.
00:36:16That guy,
00:36:17don't ask me how,
00:36:18cleared a C-rank cleanup site
00:36:19in 30 minutes
00:36:20and spotted a variant activity
00:36:21no one's ever caught before.
00:36:25You're serious?
00:36:27Mr. Sterling,
00:36:28we're in this together.
00:36:29I'd lie to anyone
00:36:30before I'd lie to you.
00:36:34In that case,
00:36:36make Nathan Cole disappear.
00:36:44Amy.
00:36:46Nathan,
00:36:46you're here.
00:36:47You're not better yet.
00:36:48Stay put.
00:36:49Look what I got you.
00:36:52Chocolates.
00:36:53Try one.
00:36:55Wow.
00:36:58These must have cost a fortune.
00:37:00Just eat it.
00:37:03What's wrong?
00:37:04You have it.
00:37:05You kill yourself at cleanup sites
00:37:06just to pay for my treatment.
00:37:07You never spend a thing on yourself.
00:37:10I had some on the way here.
00:37:11The Bureau just gave me a big bonus.
00:37:13Don't worry about money anymore.
00:37:14Really?
00:37:15Yeah.
00:37:16Nathan, you're too good to me.
00:37:18I'm not even your real sister.
00:37:20Why do you keep saying that?
00:37:21My parents died when I was little.
00:37:23We grew up together in that orphanage.
00:37:25You're my family.
00:37:26Closer than blood.
00:37:28Who else am I going to be good to?
00:37:29All right.
00:37:30Eat your chocolate.
00:37:30I'm going to head back and rest.
00:37:32Okay.
00:37:36Go on.
00:37:36Eat up.
00:37:37Eat up.
00:37:54I can kill C-rank Abrians.
00:37:56Even sent to B-rank flying.
00:37:58No idea what my ability rank is.
00:38:01B-rank at best, I guess.
00:38:03But how did I awaken out of nowhere?
00:38:05Could it be?
00:38:13Who is it?
00:38:19You heartless jerk.
00:38:20You got me pregnant and now you're just going to walk away?
00:38:27Who are you?
00:38:27I don't even know you.
00:38:29You heartless jerk.
00:38:30I'm carrying your baby and you pretend you don't know me.
00:38:35You can't just make something like that up.
00:38:36I'll sue you.
00:38:39You called me baby in bed.
00:38:41Now you got me pregnant and you're running away?
00:38:46Hey, you stop that.
00:38:48Put your clothes back on.
00:38:50Men like you deserve to die.
00:38:57You're not human.
00:38:59What are you?
00:39:04What the?
00:39:06What are those things?
00:39:08Tell me I'm dreaming.
00:39:08My little ones, have fun with your father.
00:39:12Try to eat him alive.
00:39:23Stay back.
00:39:24I'm warning you.
00:39:25I'm awakened too.
00:39:27Who ever sent me really overestimated this guy.
00:39:30A wimp like you isn't worth an A rank's time.
00:39:32Get him.
00:39:36I'm actually going to die this time.
00:39:51I guess I gotta do this myself.
00:40:13Damn.
00:40:14Did I just awaken as an A rank?
00:40:19Hey, you're bluffing, aren't you?
00:40:21You're not even A rank.
00:40:22Don't get my hopes up for nothing.
00:40:34Don't get my hopes up for nothing.
00:40:39Damn.
00:40:40No human awakened looks like that.
00:40:42Come at me again, and I'll treat you like a ripper.
00:40:49Only rippers have crystal cores.
00:40:51You're not human after all.
00:40:53But a ripper that can pass as human?
00:40:54That's impossible.
00:40:58You're actually human.
00:40:59The structure is too perfect.
00:41:01It's an artificial crystal core.
00:41:02Those scumbags, they used it on a human.
00:41:04I...
00:41:04What's happening to me?
00:41:05It hurts.
00:41:14You saved me.
00:41:15I'll do anything for you.
00:41:17No, no, no.
00:41:17Just tell me who sent you to kill me.
00:41:20I don't know.
00:41:22They kept me in some kind of lab.
00:41:24My mind was always foggy.
00:41:25I remember.
00:41:27It was cold.
00:41:28Metal walls everywhere.
00:41:30Long corridors.
00:41:32Harsh white lights overhead.
00:41:36I think...
00:41:37Second floor?
00:41:38Through the window, a big, abandoned, greystone quarry.
00:41:43A research institute.
00:41:44You know who runs that place?
00:41:47I don't know.
00:41:48But I heard the guards mention a name.
00:41:50Something like...
00:41:53Marcus.
00:41:58Go.
00:41:59Get as far away as you can.
00:42:01Don't come back.
00:42:04They found out we're investigating the artificial crystal cores.
00:42:09Now they want us dead.
00:42:20Director, give the crystal core case to someone else.
00:42:23You have no idea what I just went through.
00:42:25You almost never saw me again.
00:42:26What happened now?
00:42:27You have no idea how insane these people are.
00:42:30They implanted crystal cores into humans.
00:42:32It's something.
00:42:34Half awakened, half ripper.
00:42:36Just came after me.
00:42:38Nearly tore me apart.
00:42:40What did you just say?
00:42:41Human implantation.
00:42:43You're sure?
00:42:45Dead sure.
00:42:46I pulled the artificial crystal core out of her myself.
00:42:49She said she came from some kind of lab.
00:42:51Freezing cold.
00:42:53Metal walls.
00:42:54Long hallways.
00:42:55Out the second floor window.
00:42:56An abandoned limestone quarry.
00:42:59Greystone Institute.
00:43:01What?
00:43:02You know that place?
00:43:05Nathan, this is bigger than I thought.
00:43:07The previous offer is off the table.
00:43:10Director, you're not gonna...
00:43:11One million.
00:43:12You're coming with me tonight.
00:43:18Director, you're raising the price faster than my heartbeat.
00:43:21Call it a survival bonus.
00:43:23Nine tonight.
00:43:24I'll pick you up.
00:43:29That's...
00:43:30One million.
00:43:38This money...
00:43:40Damn.
00:43:40I'm risking my neck for this.
00:43:44Greystone Institute.
00:43:46Don't tell me this is what Leela mentioned.
00:43:49The place looks totally abandoned.
00:43:51Abandoned buildings don't keep their lights on past midnight.
00:43:58Stay close.
00:44:00Stay close.
00:44:20These crystal cores...
00:44:22What are they doing?
00:44:23They're boosting the core's radiation density.
00:44:26Amplify a core and plant it back into an aberrant.
00:44:29Release it into the wild.
00:44:30The Bureau takes it down.
00:44:31They harvest a higher rank core.
00:44:33It's like...
00:44:33A business.
00:44:34C rank becomes B rank.
00:44:36B rate becomes A rate.
00:44:39Every upgrade, black market value, jumps a hundredfold.
00:44:43Maybe a thousandfold.
00:44:49We need more.
00:44:50Lab records, data logs.
00:44:52They have to match the financials.
00:44:57Data terminals over there.
00:45:07Crystal core inventory log.
00:45:10Serial numbers, initial rank, enhanced rank, destination, final recipient.
00:45:19I knew it.
00:45:20A human implantation.
00:45:22They're actually doing it.
00:45:25We take all of this back.
00:45:27With the supply ledgers, it's enough for the hearing to open a face.
00:45:35They found us.
00:45:37Shh.
00:45:39Director, you'll protect me.
00:45:41Right?
00:45:42Shh.
00:45:44I'll handle what's out there.
00:45:45Stay here.
00:45:46Can you do that?
00:45:48Are you worried about me or doubting me?
00:45:51I'm making sure you won't slow me down.
00:45:54Director, all those field ops taught me one thing.
00:45:56When it's time to run, I'm faster than you.
00:46:01So your big skill is running away?
00:46:04No.
00:46:05My skill is always making it back alive to see you.
00:46:11Smooth talker.
00:46:12I'd call that honest.
00:46:14Quiet.
00:46:15Footsteps.
00:46:39No, Nathan.
00:46:49Damn it.
00:46:50Director, is it done?
00:46:51Are you in here?
00:46:54Quiet.
00:47:13If you kill the director, who's going to sign my paychecks?
00:47:20Nathan.
00:47:21You okay?
00:47:22I'm fine, but she hit me with a neural suppressor.
00:47:25I can't use my ability right now.
00:47:27My turn to protect you.
00:47:45She's above standard A rank, just below S rank.
00:47:48Good.
00:47:48I just took down a self-proclaimed A rank, plus two B rank hatchlings.
00:47:52Got to finish her fast.
00:47:53Get the director out of here.
00:48:07Let's see you get out of this one.
00:48:10The boss knew you'd come.
00:48:12This place will be your grave.
00:48:13What?
00:48:14Director, run!
00:48:15Run!
00:48:17Run!
00:48:22The research data!
00:48:24No time!
00:48:24Your life matters more!
00:48:31Get in.
00:48:35Director, what's the plan now?
00:48:37You have evidence of Harold and Tiffany stealing crystal cores?
00:48:41Get them to confess first.
00:48:43They can testify.
00:48:45Director, I...
00:48:46Here's the deal.
00:48:47On top of the million I already gave you,
00:48:50I'll appoint you logistics operations director.
00:48:55Full authority over the department.
00:48:57Is that higher than Harold's position?
00:48:59Of course.
00:49:00Oh!
00:49:01Director, you really get me!
00:49:03This beats a million in cash any day!
00:49:18Nathan, you finally showed up.
00:49:21Damn, you look sharp.
00:49:22Just threw something on, no big deal.
00:49:23Oh, hey, Leo.
00:49:25You want to be supervisor?
00:49:26Are you kidding me?
00:49:28Keep it down.
00:49:29If Harold hears that, we're dead.
00:49:31Relax.
00:49:32Man, just getting rid of Harold would make my year.
00:49:34Working under that scum dag, crap every single day.
00:49:37And zero pay.
00:49:40Check this out.
00:49:42No way, you got promoted.
00:49:44Logistics operations director?
00:49:46When you didn't show yesterday, I thought Harold finally ran you out.
00:49:49Me leave?
00:49:50He's the one who should be packing.
00:49:52Nathan!
00:49:53What the hell are you spouting?
00:49:55He's still here.
00:49:57Why hasn't Mr. Sterling sent someone to deal with him?
00:50:00Nathan, why aren't you out buying tampons for Director Sterling today?
00:50:06Right.
00:50:07Wasn't he transferred to the Southern War Zone?
00:50:08How's he back?
00:50:09Probably got too scared out there.
00:50:11Ran back to hide behind someone powerful.
00:50:13You wanted to know why I dared say that, real or fake?
00:50:17You'll find out soon.
00:50:21Supernatural Management Bureau personnel appointment.
00:50:24Nathan Cole is hereby appointed Logistics Operations Director.
00:50:28Effective immediately.
00:50:30Logistics Operations Director?
00:50:31That's two ranks above Supervisor Harold.
00:50:35Impossible.
00:50:36He's our boss now, all of us.
00:50:38He can fire us, just like that.
00:50:40That's right.
00:50:41First order of business, exterminating the vermin in this department.
00:50:49Harold Clayton, three years and seven months as Logistics Supervisor.
00:50:52Every B-rank operation you handled, Crystal Core counts don't match recovery reports.
00:50:5680% discrepancy.
00:50:58Oh my God, that many?
00:51:00How much is that even worth?
00:51:01You're full of crap.
00:51:02So what if you got promoted?
00:51:03You think you can just throw accusations around?
00:51:04Where's your proof?
00:51:05Yeah, you've got nothing.
00:51:06You're bluffing.
00:51:07Tiffany Shaw, you're his accomplice.
00:51:09You falsified Crystal Core recovery data.
00:51:11Every flagged report, the reviewer on record, all you.
00:51:13How do you know that?
00:51:15Last night, the Director and I went to Greystone Institute.
00:51:17Pulled every intake and release log from the data terminal.
00:51:21Total value of missing crystal heads.
00:51:23Black market minimum, over 20 million.
00:51:2720 million?
00:51:29Return everything you stole, every last crystal core, or the consequences will be severe.
00:51:35Stop slandering us, Greystone Institute.
00:51:38Who knows where you've got this?
00:51:39You want to fire us?
00:51:41Not a chance!
00:51:42Oh my God.
00:51:46What you got now, huh, fool?
00:51:48You think you can challenge me?
00:51:49Know your place!
00:51:51That's right.
00:51:52You're nothing but Deadweight hiding behind a woman.
00:51:56You're...
00:51:57nothing but Director Sterling's dog.
00:52:06What about you?
00:52:09You're nothing but Marcus's lap dog.
00:52:16Won't hand it over?
00:52:18Fine.
00:52:18Harold, you only destroyed a copy.
00:52:20The original's with me.
00:52:23Harold Clayton.
00:52:24Tiffany Shaw.
00:52:25Two choices.
00:52:26Hand over all original records, spy against whoever's pulling the strings, leniency.
00:52:30Or wait for the FBI to come knocking.
00:52:33Looks like you've chosen option two.
00:52:34No, please, Director.
00:52:35I'll talk.
00:52:36I'll tell you everything.
00:52:37If I talk, can you guarantee my safety?
00:52:39Of course.
00:52:40But it's Marcus.
00:52:42So what?
00:52:44Don't forget.
00:52:45Director Sterling runs this bureau.
00:52:48Serena!
00:52:53Did I hear my name?
00:52:55Missed me already?
00:52:57They're still alive.
00:52:58Lucky them.
00:53:00Time to push the assassin harder.
00:53:04Useless.
00:53:05Only been at the bureau a few days and already causing this much trouble.
00:53:08What?
00:53:09Should I sit back and let you destroy the bureau?
00:53:10Now that hurts my feelings.
00:53:13After your parents died, I ran this place for years.
00:53:16Doesn't that count for something?
00:53:17This old fox is one hell of an actor.
00:53:20I'm telling what he'll pull.
00:53:21Young man.
00:53:23Watch your mouth.
00:53:24Or you won't live long enough to regret it.
00:53:27Marcus.
00:53:28Drop the act.
00:53:29You think I don't know what you've been doing all these years?
00:53:32My parents' death?
00:53:33Your hands aren't clean.
00:53:35Mine?
00:53:36What are you talking about?
00:53:37I don't have the faintest idea.
00:53:39But go ahead.
00:53:40Investigate.
00:53:41I hope you find everything before the hearing.
00:53:45Young man.
00:53:46Staying by Serena's side.
00:53:48That's a dangerous game.
00:53:50Think it over.
00:53:56Did he just threaten me?
00:53:58Oh, right.
00:53:59Director.
00:54:00Nathan.
00:54:01Can I trust you?
00:54:04Director, you gave me a million.
00:54:06I'd do anything for you.
00:54:09Thanks.
00:54:11Director, you look really pretty when you smile.
00:54:14Pretty.
00:54:14Pretty doesn't get me anything.
00:54:16The money's been transferred.
00:54:21That was ice cold.
00:54:29Hi.
00:54:30Room 802, Amy Cole.
00:54:31I'm family.
00:54:31Here to pay this month's co-pay.
00:54:35There's no outstanding balance on this account.
00:54:37None?
00:54:39Mrs. Sterling already covered it.
00:54:42Thanks.
00:54:45It was the director.
00:54:47Tough exterior, soft heart.
00:55:00It's her.
00:55:01How did she find this place?
00:55:03Nathan, it's May.
00:55:04She's back.
00:55:05May.
00:55:08What?
00:55:09You used to fight boys for me when we were kids.
00:55:12Don't tell me you've forgotten me already.
00:55:14Oh, it's you.
00:55:15You were like a little tomboy back then, always tagging along behind me.
00:55:18But after all these years, you've really filled out.
00:55:22Didn't recognize you at all.
00:55:24An assassin, too.
00:55:26Yeah.
00:55:27It's been over ten years.
00:55:29Never thought I'd see you again.
00:55:38What's she doing?
00:55:39Did she see in the dark, too?
00:55:41Has she already figured out it was me?
00:55:43Do you remember our promise?
00:55:44From when we were kids?
00:55:46A promise?
00:55:48It was pitch dark that night.
00:55:50She couldn't have recognized me.
00:55:52Oh.
00:55:54Oh.
00:55:56Oh.
00:55:57You're the only one I'll ever marry.
00:56:04But hey, kids say things they don't mean.
00:56:15Don't worry.
00:56:16I'll get it done tonight.
00:56:17Get it done?
00:56:18She'll get it done tonight?
00:56:20Is she the one sent to assassinate the director?
00:56:22I can't let her succeed.
00:56:24Get it done tonight.
00:56:25All these years apart, how'd she become a killer?
00:56:28Nathan.
00:56:29Nathan.
00:56:31What's wrong with you?
00:56:32Nothing.
00:56:33Yeah, right.
00:56:35Oh.
00:56:36You like her, don't you?
00:56:38I'll put in a good word.
00:56:40She'll be your girlfriend in no time.
00:56:42What are you talking about?
00:56:43She said it herself.
00:56:44Childhood stuff doesn't count.
00:56:45Focus on getting better.
00:56:46Stop overthinking.
00:56:49What's up?
00:56:50Nathan, I wanted to ask you something.
00:56:52I just got back and don't have a place yet.
00:56:54Could I crash at yours tonight?
00:56:57Well, maybe I should find you a hotel.
00:56:59Yes, he lives alone anyway.
00:57:02Then let's go.
00:57:04Fine.
00:57:11Come on in.
00:57:17Some things never change, huh?
00:57:21Messy as ever.
00:57:22Hey, leave it.
00:57:23I got it.
00:57:24You just flew in.
00:57:24Go rest.
00:57:25Relax.
00:57:25We grew up together.
00:57:26Nothing I haven't seen.
00:57:28Right.
00:57:29You rest up.
00:57:30I'll grab you some water.
00:57:31Where's the bathroom?
00:57:34God, it's hot.
00:57:36I want to shower first.
00:57:44Help me.
00:57:46Uh, yeah.
00:57:52Thanks.
00:58:16Nathan.
00:58:19It's late.
00:58:20What do you want?
00:58:22That assassin might still be alive.
00:58:24She's coming for you tonight.
00:58:27How do you know she's alive, that she's coming for me?
00:58:32I...
00:58:33Is there something between you two about?
00:58:36No.
00:58:36She escaped before us.
00:58:38She's definitely alive.
00:58:40She tried to kill you last time.
00:58:41She failed, so she'll try again.
00:58:43Then let her come.
00:58:44I'll be waiting.
00:58:45Why are you so damn confident?
00:58:47Get some Awaken to guard you now.
00:58:49Are you trying to...
00:58:50I don't need them.
00:58:52Hello?
00:58:53Hello?
00:58:55She thinks she's untouchable.
00:58:58Last time you'd be dead without me.
00:59:02Nathan.
00:59:04Then what are you mumbling about?
00:59:06Nothing.
00:59:11Why are you out here dressed like that?
00:59:16What's wrong, Shy?
00:59:21Can't you cover up around me?
00:59:22You don't even see me as a man, do you?
00:59:25Then let me find out...
00:59:36You're playing with fire.
00:59:40After all these years, it's still so easy to tease.
00:59:44Okay, I'll stop.
00:59:45Where do I sleep tonight?
00:59:48Over there.
00:59:50It's late.
00:59:51I'm turning in.
00:59:52Wait!
00:59:57Tonight I'm heading to the base.
01:00:00Overtime.
01:00:01Won't be back.
01:00:18I warned her and she's still wide open.
01:00:21Just waiting for a killer to walk right in.
01:00:26I still don't even know my ability rank.
01:00:29No way.
01:00:30Is it S rank?
01:00:34How's the director this careless?
01:00:36Anyone could just walk right in.
01:00:46A shower now.
01:00:47Not giving a guy much of a chance here.
01:01:13Nathan, it's you.
01:01:15Shh.
01:01:16We'll talk when we're out of here.
01:01:17Who's out there?
01:01:19Go, now.
01:01:21Hide.
01:01:21Go, get out.
01:01:39What are you doing here?
01:01:40The door was unlocked, so I just came in.
01:01:50Really?
01:01:51Yes, really.
01:01:54Director, please, just put some clothes on.
01:01:56Then get out.
01:02:00Or do you want to watch me change?
01:02:07Not like I haven't seen it before.
01:02:10Get lost.
01:02:11Hey.
01:02:15Come in.
01:02:27Wipe it.
01:02:30So, why are you here?
01:02:32Director, I was worried about your safety.
01:02:38Look, the second I thought you might be in danger, I rushed over.
01:02:41It didn't even change.
01:02:42Oh, is that so?
01:02:45Of course.
01:02:48Come here.
01:02:56You can trust me on this.
01:02:58Everything I said is true.
01:03:04Turn around.
01:03:07Director, just tell me what you're going to do.
01:03:09I can take it.
01:03:15Just let me stay like this for a moment.
01:03:22I, uh...
01:03:23You know, all these years, you're the first person who's actually cared about me.
01:03:29Am I supposed to say something?
01:03:31I lost my parents when I was very little.
01:03:33Always thought it was an accident.
01:03:36Then one day, I heard the truth myself.
01:03:39It all led back to Marcus.
01:03:44Mr. Sterling, Serena won't be a problem, will she?
01:03:48Relax.
01:03:49She'll have an accident, just like her parents did.
01:03:52So the former director and his wife, you killed them?
01:03:54They had to die.
01:03:56How else would I take this seat?
01:04:00Complete my research, hmm?
01:04:02Anyone in my way?
01:04:05Marcus, that heartless scumbag.
01:04:09No wonder the director always seems so cold.
01:04:12She's been carrying all of this.
01:04:13After I joined the Bureau, Marcus controlled everything.
01:04:16I'm director in name alone, Lee.
01:04:18I'm nothing.
01:04:21Without you, I don't know what I'd do.
01:04:25Don't worry.
01:04:26I'm here.
01:04:27I'll make that scumbag Marcus pay.
01:04:32That's all I needed to hear.
01:04:35Tomorrow's the hearing.
01:04:36I need to be there.
01:04:37But Marcus won't back down.
01:04:38I'm worried he'll go after Harold and Tiffany.
01:04:40Leave it to me.
01:04:42I'm more than capable.
01:04:43I know.
01:04:44You're very capable.
01:04:47I know.
01:04:48You're very capable.
01:04:59Just like our first time.
01:05:08You should go back and prepare.
01:05:11Or are you staying the night?
01:05:12If you insist I stay,
01:05:14I wouldn't say no.
01:05:18Wouldn't be the first time.
01:05:20What are you doing?
01:05:24I'm already here.
01:05:25Not our first time.
01:05:27Might as well do what needs to be done.
01:05:29You're insane.
01:05:30With you in front of me,
01:05:32of course I am.
01:05:40You?
01:05:44You're leaving.
01:05:45What?
01:05:46You actually want me to stay over?
01:05:49You're leaving.
01:06:08I'm leaving.
01:06:09What is she to you?
01:06:10She, I, we slept together, okay?
01:06:16I get it.
01:06:17You two are together now.
01:06:26What are you going to do?
01:06:29Think I'm going to kill your girlfriend again?
01:06:31You're strong enough now.
01:06:33You could kill me.
01:06:36Hey, can you just not go?
01:06:40The penalty's a million.
01:06:43You going to support me?
01:06:47I...
01:06:49I'll support you.
01:06:51How's that?
01:07:02How about I keep you?
01:07:05What are you doing here?
01:07:07Nathan, so you really do know the assassin.
01:07:09Why'd you lie when I asked?
01:07:11It's not what it looks like.
01:07:12Let me explain.
01:07:13Save it!
01:07:23I thought I'd finally found someone I could trust.
01:07:26Someone to lean on.
01:07:27I...
01:07:28But I was wrong.
01:07:43I...
01:07:59I need you to do something for me.
01:08:01Now.
01:08:05The hearing will come to order.
01:08:07Director Sterling, present your grounds for accusation.
01:08:14Mr. Chairman, my audit of the logistics department uncovered a three-year crystal core deficit exceeding one billion dollars.
01:08:21I believe this constitutes systematic thief and profit funneling.
01:08:25I call former logistics supervisor Harold Clayton and records clerk Tiffany Shaw to testify.
01:08:34Director Sterling, Harold and Tiffany are dead.
01:08:37Word just came in.
01:08:40What's wrong, Serena?
01:08:42Something happened to your witnesses.
01:08:44You did this.
01:08:48Careful, Serena.
01:08:49That's a dangerous thing to say.
01:08:51You accused a senior Federation official with no witnesses.
01:08:57Still no evidence.
01:08:58Slander me again, and I'll have you charged with defamation.
01:09:01Director Sterling, without your witnesses present, it'll be very difficult for this hearing to continue.
01:09:08That boy always at your side, your little boyfriend, right?
01:09:11Where is he now?
01:09:12Not here to save you this time.
01:09:14Hey!
01:09:14Can you just not go?
01:09:17The penalty's a million.
01:09:20You gonna support me?
01:09:23He's not coming.
01:09:46You forgot.
01:09:47Don't worry.
01:09:48I'm here.
01:09:48Who do you think you are?
01:09:50This isn't a date.
01:09:51There's no place for you here.
01:09:53That's not your call.
01:09:55Never thought you'd stoop this low, Serena.
01:09:58You pick some nobody from logistics as your boyfriend, and you let him run his mouth here?
01:10:04I never run my mouth.
01:10:09And I'm not her boyfriend.
01:10:10I'm her fiancé.
01:10:11You!
01:10:13Fine.
01:10:14Very well.
01:10:15Since you've got a death wish.
01:10:17Mr. Chairman, they have no evidence against me.
01:10:20Director Sterling is pursuing a personal vendetta, defaming a senior Federation official
01:10:24and letting her subordinate disrespect these proceedings.
01:10:29Serena, don't blame me for what comes next.
01:10:31I wasn't going to retaliate, but you kept pushing with nothing to back it up.
01:10:36Who says we don't have evidence?
01:10:45Track Harold and Tiffany.
01:10:46Now.
01:10:48What for?
01:10:51Marcus might kill them to cover his tracks.
01:10:52The hearing's about to start.
01:10:54Our witnesses can't die.
01:10:55On it.
01:10:56If they're anywhere on the Bureau's grid, I'll find them.
01:11:01Got him.
01:11:11Mr. Chairman.
01:11:12Our witness is ready.
01:11:15Marcus!
01:11:15You sent A-rank or higher killers after us.
01:11:18You wanted us dead.
01:11:19So don't expect us to let you walk.
01:11:21We can prove Marcus stole crystal cores for illegal research.
01:11:26And he embezzled over 50 billion dollars from the Bureau.
01:11:29Illegal crystal core research?
01:11:31What?
01:11:32Over 50 billion?
01:11:36The evidence is solid, Marcus.
01:11:39There's nowhere to run.
01:11:43Mr. Chairman, I have a question.
01:11:46Both witnesses said the killers were A-rank or above.
01:11:50This man is just a logistics employee.
01:11:52He counts supplies and cleans up crime scenes.
01:11:55How could he possibly save them?
01:11:56He's forging evidence.
01:11:57I can personally vouch for Nathan Cole's ability.
01:12:00He's more than capable of taking on A-rank and higher assassins.
01:12:03You vouch for him.
01:12:04You're his fiance.
01:12:05Of course you'd cover for him.
01:12:06I believe his ability is the same rank as mine, S-rank.
01:12:12S-rank ability.
01:12:13My God, the entire Federation has only one S-rank ability user, Director Sterling.
01:12:17S-rank.
01:12:18Even I'm only A-rank.
01:12:20A logistics grunt like him, awakening as S-rank?
01:12:24So that's your game, Serena.
01:12:26You'd have your fiance forge evidence to smear me, lying to the entire Federal Oversight Committee,
01:12:31and now you're inventing an S-rank out of thin air!
01:12:34Mr. Sterling, my ability rank and your crimes are two separate matters.
01:12:38Mr. Chairman, I'm prepared for a live assessment, right here, right now.
01:12:44Witnessed by this body.
01:12:48Conducted by certified evaluators.
01:12:52Impossible!
01:12:53This can't be real!
01:12:54Yes, I did it all!
01:12:57So what?
01:12:58Marcus, prepare to face sanctions.
01:13:02Sanction me, you?
01:13:04What power do you have to sanction a god?
01:13:13That's artificial crystal core serum.
01:13:22I'll have the power of an S-rank Ripper.
01:13:25I'll stand at the top of this world.
01:13:27I will become...
01:13:29A GOD!
01:13:32I will shape humanity's future.
01:13:34I will become the god of this world.
01:13:37You are all lambs for the slaughter.
01:13:46Marcus, what the hell are you doing?
01:13:48I'll destroy this commit into an ability research facility.
01:13:51All of you, die!
01:13:56Marcus, you've lost your mind!
01:14:02You pushed me to this, Serena.
01:14:04Your parents were in my way.
01:14:05They deserve to die.
01:14:07So you're the one who murdered the former director and his wife.
01:14:10Shut your mouth!
01:14:11Who dares look down on me now?
01:14:13You're all just ants.
01:14:15I could crush you without a thaw!
01:14:23His energy's unstable.
01:14:24I see his weak point.
01:14:25Director, hold him off for me.
01:14:26Go.
01:14:26I trust you.
01:14:28Even together, you two are no match for me.
01:14:30Don't bet on it.
01:14:31I'll send you to join Serena's parents in hell.
01:14:50No.
01:14:51Impossible.
01:14:52How could you defeat me?
01:14:53Because I'm logistics.
01:14:54Cleaned up enough abrian corpses to know artificial crystal cords make energy stable.
01:14:58And I know exactly where the weak spots are.
01:15:00You wanted to play god?
01:15:02You're nothing but a bag full of holes.
01:15:03You think you've won?
01:15:05I know your sister's in the hospital.
01:15:06I already sent my best killer.
01:15:08She's dead.
01:15:10I'm taking your sister.
01:15:11Down with me!
01:15:13Nathan, we have to get to her now.
01:15:15Don't worry.
01:15:23I'm taking your sister.
01:15:26I'm taking your sister.
01:15:27Nathan, what's up?
01:15:28Can't a guy call without a reason?
01:15:30Is May with you?
01:15:31Oh, yeah.
01:15:32I'm here.
01:15:36That's impossible!
01:15:37How could she?
01:15:38You two know each other.
01:15:40Nathan, remember you owe me a favor.
01:15:42Don't worry.
01:15:43I remember.
01:15:43You!
01:15:48He passed out.
01:15:50Don't tell me I did that.
01:15:52Director, what's wrong?
01:15:54Nathan, thank you.
01:15:56Don't mention it.
01:15:57Like I said, you pay, I deliver.
01:16:00So besides the money, you really feel nothing for me.
01:16:03Answer me.
01:16:04Yes or no.
01:16:08Yes.
01:16:22Nathan, who's that pretty lady?
01:16:23Guess.
01:16:25Does she like you too?
01:16:27Like May does?
01:16:29Who likes him?
01:16:32Yep.
01:16:33Definitely.
01:16:35Why'd you stop coming after me?
01:16:38Why'd you stop coming after me?
01:16:38Because someone begged me not to?
01:16:40Still gonna try to stop me?
01:16:43I've got a million, plus $500.
01:16:47Deal.
01:16:48That easy?
01:16:49Aren't you a top assassin?
01:16:49You just out-bit Marcus by $500.
01:16:52Besides, I want to see where things go with you and Serena.
01:16:55Nathan, do you really deserve her?
01:16:58Oh, come on, I...
01:16:59Whether he deserves me, not your call.
01:17:02He's my man.
01:17:03I say he's worthy, so he's worthy.
01:17:05Guess that old promise is off the table now.
01:17:09What promise?
01:17:10I should go.
01:17:13Let me walk you out.
01:17:14If you do, someone's gonna get jealous.
01:17:18Who's getting jealous?
01:17:21So, you're my brother's girlfriend now?
01:17:23Not exactly.
01:17:27You're pregnant!
01:17:29What, you don't want to step up?
01:17:32I do.
