181
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:03,197
The Atlas Gauntlets.
[huffs]
182
00:13:03,198 --> 00:13:06,661
The mining colonies in the fissures
can work faster and without fatigue.
183
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:10,456
The Hex Claw.
184
00:13:12,041 --> 00:13:16,045
[Viktor] A mechanical arm,
equipped with a powerful ray of light.
185
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:19,173
[zapping]
186
00:13:23,928 --> 00:13:27,390
Imagine what our artificers could do
with such a device.
187
00:13:27,973 --> 00:13:31,309
I want Hextech to be a tool
for us to build a new world.
188
00:13:31,310 --> 00:13:34,647
- And now, it's finally possible.
- [whimpers]
189
00:13:38,693 --> 00:13:41,986
Anyway, this is our presentation.
190
00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:46,367
Quite amazing, gentlemen.
You should be very proud.
191
00:13:46,951 --> 00:13:51,162
Obviously, there are a few kinks
to iron out and screws to be tightened,
192
00:13:51,163 --> 00:13:55,249
but give it a decade of careful
research, and it will be ready.
193
00:13:55,250 --> 00:13:56,501
A decade?
194
00:13:56,502 --> 00:14:00,505
Oh, don't worry, my boy.
It zips past you in the blink of an eye.
195
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:02,382
With respect, Professor.
196
00:14:02,383 --> 00:14:05,385
We can be improving lives
with Hextech now.
197
00:14:05,386 --> 00:14:08,096
A breakthrough like this
takes time, Viktor.
198
00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:11,265
Putting that kind of power
into everyone's hands is dangerous.
199
00:14:11,266 --> 00:14:13,810
Keep at it and I'm sure
you will discover a way
200
00:14:13,811 --> 00:14:16,647
to safeguard Hextech against misuse.
201
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:20,651

[indistinct chatter]
204
00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:33,498
There must've been four, five of them.
I don't know how they got inside.

[groans]
212
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:51,826
You're from the undercity.
213
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:56,788
I didn't do anything. She's crazy.
214
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:57,998
- [grunts]
- Easy.
215
00:15:59,249 --> 00:16:00,291
She shot me.
216
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:02,837
Who shot you? Who were you working for?
217
00:16:03,671 --> 00:16:06,549
- I can't. He'll kill me.
- Who?
218
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:09,259
- [groans]
- [Caitlyn] I can protect you.
219
00:16:09,885 --> 00:16:13,055
[Marcus] Caitlyn Kiramman,
why does that not surprise me?
220
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:15,975
Interfering in an investigation, again.
221
00:16:16,726 --> 00:16:19,102
You're supposed to be guarding
your mother's tent.
222
00:16:19,103 --> 00:16:24,023
I was, Sheriff, but she doesn't need it.
And clearly, this takes priority.
223
00:16:24,024 --> 00:16:26,317
I realize you're used
to getting your way, Kiramman,
224
00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:28,277
but we have a chain of command
for a reason.
225
00:16:28,278 --> 00:16:29,946
[Caitlyn] I understand.
226
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:32,657
But there's more going on here
than just the smuggling.
227
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:35,536
- If I could just question him I could...
- [Marcus] I'll take it from here.
228
00:16:36,078 --> 00:16:37,245
Since you're looking for more work,
229
00:16:37,246 --> 00:16:39,665
you can take the graveyard shift tonight
at the fair.
230
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:42,667
- Yes, sir.
- Good.
231
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:45,128
I want this one on a boat
to Stillwater prison.
232
00:16:45,129 --> 00:16:46,379
[enforcer] Yes, sir.
233

[laughs]
236
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:31,759
She fired on us.
237
00:17:32,384 --> 00:17:34,344
[Silco]
There are always mishaps in battle.
238
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:38,348
The Firelights were her target
and most are dead.
239
00:17:39,141 --> 00:17:43,020
It wasn't a mishap,
she froze up and lost her shit.
240
00:17:43,604 --> 00:17:45,396
I could've handled those brats.
241
00:17:45,397 --> 00:17:48,442
- She's a problem and we all know it.
- [Silco] We?
242
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:50,903
Who's we?
243
00:17:53,698 --> 00:17:56,616
I expect better from you than excuses.
244
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:59,620
It was your job to make sure
things went smoothly.
245
00:18:00,663 --> 00:18:04,041
You failed. Don't disappoint me again.
246
00:18:05,375 --> 00:18:06,836

[sighs]
249
00:18:12,424 --> 00:18:17,553
The world's growing smaller
every day, thanks to the Hexgates.
250
00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:19,931
And now, we're cut off.
251
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:23,018
The topsiders are leaving us
further and further behind.
252
00:18:24,854 --> 00:18:25,896
What happened?
253
00:18:26,647 --> 00:18:27,898
[Jinx] She already told you.
254
00:18:29,358 --> 00:18:30,693
I'm asking you.
255
00:18:31,485 --> 00:18:32,862
[object thuds]
256
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:37,073
[Jinx] One of those Firelight wackos
was a girl.
257
00:18:37,074 --> 00:18:40,953
- With pink hair.
- [Silco] Hmm...
258
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:50,420
Your sister's gone.
259
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:53,131
You know that as well as I do.
260
00:18:53,132 --> 00:18:56,384
I know. I know. Sisters, right?
[chuckles]
261
00:18:56,385 --> 00:18:59,637
You can't live with 'em, can't stuff
'em back in the ol' babymaker.
262
00:18:59,638 --> 00:19:01,848
[chuckles, huffs]
263
00:19:01,849 --> 00:19:04,434
Today's screw-up will set us back weeks.
264
00:19:06,729 --> 00:19:07,896
I'm sorry.
265
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:11,650
- I need to know that I can rely on you.
- Phew.
266
00:19:12,609 --> 00:19:15,612
I'm doing this for us, Jinx. All of us.
267
00:19:16,113 --> 00:19:20,785
The sons and daughters of Zaun
deserve more than their runoff.
268
00:19:22,244 --> 00:19:23,620
It won't happen again.
269
00:19:24,663 --> 00:19:25,664
[Silco] I know.
270
00:19:28,876 --> 00:19:30,501

[Silco sighs]
273
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:38,592
Sevika will clean up today's mess.
274
00:19:38,593 --> 00:19:42,806
Sevika? That ogre couldn't clean
a dust bunny with a blowtorch.
275
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:47,185
She'll suffice.
You should focus on your gadgetry.
276
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:48,437
[Jinx] Ugh.
277
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:50,022
Take some time.
278
00:19:50,564 --> 00:19:52,858
[stammers]
I don't need time.
279
00:19:55,069 --> 00:19:56,570
Take it anyhow.

[Elora] Fundraiser's going well.
285
00:20:22,930 --> 00:20:24,098
Your mother would be proud.
286
00:20:24,639 --> 00:20:26,100
Hmm... Would she?
287
00:20:26,641 --> 00:20:28,184
[Elora] Tired of mingling?
288
00:20:28,185 --> 00:20:31,688
[Mel] Hmm. These people have nothing new
to offer me.
289
00:20:32,272 --> 00:20:34,984
The only one actually worth my time
is him.
290
00:20:35,567 --> 00:20:37,902
The golden boy.
[Elora chuckles]
291
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:40,364
Ah, he's won Piltover's heart.
292
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:43,742
Oh, speak of the devil.

[Mel] To what do I owe the pleasure?
300
00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:16,565
It's Heimerdinger.
301
00:21:16,566 --> 00:21:18,192
[Mel scoffs]
When is it not?
302
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:19,778
[Jayce] We've shown him our research.
303
00:21:20,362 --> 00:21:22,030
He thinks we need more time.
304
00:21:22,031 --> 00:21:23,572
It's Progress Day.
305
00:21:23,573 --> 00:21:25,199
Representatives from all over the world
306
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,536
have come to see what new wonders
the City of Progress has to offer.
307
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:31,748
If there's a time to present
a new creation, it is now.

309
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:34,876
Great.

[chuckles]
311
00:21:37,587 --> 00:21:43,052
Heimerdinger is a great scientist. But
he's old. He only ever sees the past.
312
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,263
Piltover needs a leader
who looks forward.
313
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:48,556
Someone like you.
314
00:21:48,557 --> 00:21:50,225
You really believe that?
315
00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:55,229
Hextech has the potential
to change everything.
316
00:21:55,230 --> 00:21:56,647
The world is ready.
317
00:21:56,648 --> 00:21:59,192
And I've already spoken
to several potential investors.
318
00:21:59,193 --> 00:22:00,110
Investors?
319
00:22:00,111 --> 00:22:01,402
Of course.
320
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:03,697
[chuckling]
Everyone wants Hextech for themselves.
321
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:06,199
It's your speech.
322
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,827

It wasn't.
328
00:22:34,769 --> 00:22:38,607
I know. Just...
just some wannabe street trash.
329
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:41,109
I got confused, that's all.
330
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:44,196
Now, he thinks I'm weak.

00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:47,406
"Sevika will clean it up."
332
00:22:47,407 --> 00:22:50,452
Sevika's a regular Johnny-on-the-spot.
333
00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:54,915
I'm not weak.
334
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:03,547
And I'm gonna show him.
335
00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:06,843
Oh, I'm gonna show him. You'll see.

Where were you?

00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:22,525
They were asking
if I could do the address.
342
00:23:22,526 --> 00:23:24,860
You should come up with me.
We're partners.
343
00:23:24,861 --> 00:23:28,907
No, no. Not in front of all of them...
344
00:23:30,492 --> 00:23:32,702
You... have your speech prepared?
345
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:34,538
Uh-huh.
346
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:38,166
[Mrs. Kiramman] An inspiration
to Piltover's future

and that of all humanity.

00:23:40,502 --> 00:23:44,923
Please join me in

Uh, good evening.

I know many of you probably

[Shoola] The Hexgates must remain open.
441

Piltover's status
as a global shipping lane depends on it.

It appears we are at an impasse.

If we shut down the Hexgates,
the city will suffer.

Mr. Talis has demonstrated
his commitment to our safety.

He's willing to sacrifice
his own enterprise.
457
00:30:54,436 --> 00:30:57,396
And it seems to me only Mr. Talis
458

has the knowledge necessary
to secure the Hexgates.

00:34:50,171 --> 00:34:52,215
No. You don't.
531
00:34:53,341 --> 00:34:55,508
After the attack,
your parents spoke to the Sheriff.
532
00:34:55,509 --> 00:34:56,845
[groans]
533
00:34:57,553 --> 00:34:58,847
This is the best I could do.
534
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:03,601
I don't need charity, Councilor.
Yours or my parents'.
535
00:35:03,602 --> 00:35:05,604
- Cait.
- Get out.
536
00:35:10,066 --> 00:35:11,025
[sighs]
537
00:35:11,026 --> 00:35:14,153
- [retreating footsteps]
- [door opens]
538
00:35:15,321 --> 00:35:17,323
[foreboding music plays]
539
00:35:23,705 --> 00:35:25,081
[owl hooting]
540
00:35:27,625 --> 00:35:29,168
[boat creaks]
541
00:35:35,549 --> 00:35:37,468
[Caitlyn] I need to speak
with one of the inmates.
542
00:35:38,011 --> 00:35:41,555
Oh, folks in here
aren't usually very talkative.
543
00:35:42,098 --> 00:35:44,141
This one was hit by friendly fire.
544
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:47,937
He's got reason to talk.
Must have been sent in today?
545
00:35:49,063 --> 00:35:53,317
Oh. Inmate 2135.
546
00:35:54,068 --> 00:35:57,529
[warden] Yeah, I'm, uh,
afraid that's not possible.
547
00:35:57,530 --> 00:36:00,157
- Why not?
- Uh, well, there's been...
548
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:02,701
- an incident.
- [Caitlyn] What kind of incident?
549
00:36:02,702 --> 00:36:05,162
- [warden] The...
- [gasps, grunts]
550
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:07,080
...not so pretty kind.
551
00:36:07,081 --> 00:36:08,374
[rattling]
552
00:36:09,625 --> 00:36:12,086
[Caitlyn] You don't understand,
I have to talk to him.
553
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:17,633
[warden] Oh, you'll be able to.
As soon as he can move his jaw again.
554
00:36:18,634 --> 00:36:19,719
[Caitlyn] Who assaulted him?
555
00:36:21,345 --> 00:36:23,347
[tense music plays]
556
00:36:28,352 --> 00:36:29,520
[loud thud]
557
00:36:31,314 --> 00:36:33,357
[thudding continues]
558
00:36:47,413 --> 00:36:48,539
Who the hell are you?
559
00:36:49,082 --> 00:36:51,625
[tense music playing continues]
