00:13:04,758 --> 00:13:07,216
The Atlas Gauntlets.
[huffs]
182
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:10,675
The mining colonies in the fissures
can work faster and without fatigue.
183
00:13:13,175 --> 00:13:14,475
The Hex Claw.
184
00:13:16,050 --> 00:13:20,050
[Viktor] A mechanical arm,
equipped with a powerful ray of light.
185
00:13:21,383 --> 00:13:23,175
[zapping]
186
00:13:27,925 --> 00:13:31,383
Imagine what our artificers could do
with such a device.
187
00:13:31,966 --> 00:13:35,300
I want Hextech to be a tool
for us to build a new world.
188
00:13:35,383 --> 00:13:38,633
- And now, it's finally possible.
- [whimpers]
189
00:13:42,675 --> 00:13:45,966
Anyway, this is our presentation.
190
00:13:46,050 --> 00:13:50,341
Quite amazing, gentlemen.
You should be very proud.
191
00:13:50,925 --> 00:13:55,133
Obviously, there are a few kinks
to iron out and screws to be tightened,
192
00:13:55,216 --> 00:13:59,216
but give it a decade of careful research,
and it will be ready.
193
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:00,466
A decade?
194
00:14:00,550 --> 00:14:04,466
Oh, don't worry, my boy.
It zips past you in the blink of an eye.
195
00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:06,341
With respect, Professor.
196
00:14:06,425 --> 00:14:09,341
We can be improving lives
with Hextech now.
197
00:14:09,425 --> 00:14:12,050
A breakthrough like this
takes time, Viktor.
198
00:14:12,133 --> 00:14:15,216
Putting that kind of power
into everyone's hands is dangerous.
199
00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:17,758
Keep at it and I'm sure
you will discover a way
200
00:14:17,841 --> 00:14:20,591
to safeguard Hextech against misuse.
201
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:24,591

[indistinct chatter]
204
00:14:32,591 --> 00:14:37,425
There must've been four, five of them.
I don't know how they got inside.

[groans]
212
00:15:54,466 --> 00:15:55,766
You're from the undercity.
213
00:15:58,133 --> 00:16:00,633
I didn't do anything. She's crazy.
214
00:16:00,716 --> 00:16:02,016
- [grunts]
- Easy.
215
00:16:03,091 --> 00:16:04,133
She shot me.
216
00:16:04,216 --> 00:16:06,675
Who shot you? Who were you working for?
217
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:10,383
- I can't. He'll kill me.
- Who?
218
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:13,091
- [groans]
- [Caitlyn] I can protect you.
219
00:16:13,716 --> 00:16:16,883
[Marcus] Caitlyn Kiramman,
why does that not surprise me?
220
00:16:17,508 --> 00:16:19,800
Interfering in an investigation, again.
221
00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:22,925
You're supposed to be guarding
your mother's tent.
222
00:16:23,008 --> 00:16:27,841
I was, Sheriff, but she doesn't need it.
And clearly, this takes priority.
223
00:16:27,925 --> 00:16:30,133
I realize you're used
to getting your way, Kiramman,
224
00:16:30,216 --> 00:16:32,091
but we have a chain of command
for a reason.
225
00:16:32,175 --> 00:16:33,758
[Caitlyn] I understand.
226
00:16:33,841 --> 00:16:36,466
But there's more going on here
than just the smuggling.
227
00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:39,430
- If I could just question him I could...
- [Marcus] I'll take it from here.
228
00:16:39,883 --> 00:16:41,283
Since you're looking for more work,
229
00:16:41,307 --> 00:16:43,640
you can take the graveyard shift tonight
at the fair.
230
00:16:44,466 --> 00:16:46,466
- Yes, sir.
- Good.
231
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:48,925
I want this one on a boat
to Stillwater prison.
232
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:50,175
[enforcer] Yes, sir.
233

[laughs]
236
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:35,600
She fired on us.
237
00:17:36,133 --> 00:17:38,091
[Silco]
There are always mishaps in battle.
238
00:17:38,633 --> 00:17:42,091
The Firelights were her target
and most are dead.
239
00:17:42,883 --> 00:17:46,758
It wasn't a mishap,
she froze up and lost her shit.
240
00:17:47,341 --> 00:17:49,133
I could've handled those brats.
241
00:17:49,216 --> 00:17:52,175
- She's a problem and we all know it.
- [Silco] We?
242
00:17:53,758 --> 00:17:55,058
Who's we?
243
00:17:57,425 --> 00:18:00,341
I expect better from you than excuses.
244
00:18:00,425 --> 00:18:03,341
It was your job to make sure
things went smoothly.
245
00:18:04,383 --> 00:18:07,758
You failed. Don't disappoint me again.
246
00:18:09,091 --> 00:18:10,550
[grunts]

[sighs]
249
00:18:16,216 --> 00:18:21,258
The world's growing smaller
every day, thanks to the Hexgates.
250
00:18:21,341 --> 00:18:23,633
And now, we're cut off.
251
00:18:23,716 --> 00:18:26,716
The topsiders are leaving us
further and further behind.
252
00:18:28,550 --> 00:18:29,850
What happened?
253
00:18:30,341 --> 00:18:31,641
[Jinx] She already told you.
254
00:18:33,050 --> 00:18:34,383
I'm asking you.
255
00:18:35,175 --> 00:18:36,550
[object thuds]
256
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:40,758
[Jinx] One of those Firelight wackos
was a girl.
257
00:18:40,841 --> 00:18:44,633
- With pink hair.
- [Silco] Hmm…
258
00:18:52,425 --> 00:18:54,091
Your sister's gone.
259
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:56,800
You know that as well as I do.
260
00:18:56,883 --> 00:19:00,050
I know. I know. Sisters, right?
[chuckles]
261
00:19:00,133 --> 00:19:03,300
You can't live with 'em, can't stuff
'em back in the ol' babymaker.
262
00:19:03,383 --> 00:19:05,508
[chuckles, huffs]
263
00:19:05,591 --> 00:19:08,091
Today's screw-up will set us back weeks.
264
00:19:10,383 --> 00:19:11,550
I'm sorry.
265
00:19:11,633 --> 00:19:15,300
- I need to know that I can rely on you.
- Phew.
266
00:19:16,258 --> 00:19:19,258
I'm doing this for us, Jinx. All of us.
267
00:19:19,758 --> 00:19:24,425
The sons and daughters of Zaun
deserve more than their runoff.
268
00:19:25,883 --> 00:19:27,258
It won't happen again.
269
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:29,600
[Silco] I know.
270
00:19:32,508 --> 00:19:34,133
[grunts]
271
00:19:34,216 --> 00:19:37,091

[Silco sighs]
273
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,216
Sevika will clean up today's mess.
274
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:46,425
Sevika? That ogre couldn't clean
a dust bunny with a blowtorch.
275
00:19:46,508 --> 00:19:50,800
She'll suffice.
You should focus on your gadgetry.
276
00:19:50,883 --> 00:19:52,183
[Jinx] Ugh.
277
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,100
Take some time.
278
00:19:54,175 --> 00:19:56,466
[stammers]
I don't need time.
279
00:19:58,675 --> 00:20:00,175
Take it anyhow.
280
00:20:02,008 --> 00:20:03,308

[Elora] Fundraiser's going well.
285
00:20:26,508 --> 00:20:27,808
Your mother would be proud.
286
00:20:28,216 --> 00:20:29,675
Hmm… Would she?
287
00:20:30,216 --> 00:20:31,758
[Elora] Tired of mingling?
288
00:20:31,841 --> 00:20:35,258
[Mel] Hmm. These people have nothing new
to offer me.
289
00:20:35,841 --> 00:20:38,550
The only one actually worth my time
is him.
290
00:20:39,133 --> 00:20:41,466
The golden boy.
[Elora chuckles]
291
00:20:41,550 --> 00:20:43,925
Ah, he's won Piltover's heart.
292
00:20:44,925 --> 00:20:47,300
Oh, speak of the devil.

00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,550
[Mel] To what do I owe the pleasure?
300
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:20,091
It's Heimerdinger.
301
00:21:20,175 --> 00:21:21,716
[Mel scoffs]
When is it not?
302
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,300
[Jayce] We've shown him our research.
303
00:21:23,883 --> 00:21:25,550
He thinks we need more time.
304
00:21:25,633 --> 00:21:27,091
It's Progress Day.
305
00:21:27,175 --> 00:21:28,735
Representatives from all over the world
306
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,050
have come to see what new wonders
the City of Progress has to offer.
307
00:21:32,133 --> 00:21:35,258
If there's a time to present
a new creation, it is now.
308

[sighs]
309
00:21:37,341 --> 00:21:38,383
Great.

[chuckles]
311
00:21:41,091 --> 00:21:46,550
Heimerdinger is a great scientist.
But he's old. He only ever sees the past.
312
00:21:47,258 --> 00:21:49,758
Piltover needs a leader who looks forward.
313
00:21:50,508 --> 00:21:52,050
Someone like you.
314
00:21:52,133 --> 00:21:53,716
You really believe that?
315
00:21:54,758 --> 00:21:58,716
Hextech has the potential
to change everything.
316
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,133
The world is ready.
317
00:22:00,216 --> 00:22:02,675
And I've already spoken
to several potential investors.
318
00:22:02,758 --> 00:22:03,591
Investors?
319
00:22:03,675 --> 00:22:04,883
Of course.
320
00:22:04,966 --> 00:22:07,175
[chuckling]
Everyone wants Hextech for themselves.
321
00:22:08,050 --> 00:22:09,675
It's your speech.
322
00:22:09,758 --> 00:22:12,300
Give the people a glimpse of the future.

It wasn't.
328
00:22:38,216 --> 00:22:42,050
I know. Just…
just some wannabe street trash.
329
00:22:42,675 --> 00:22:44,591
I got confused, that's all.
330
00:22:44,675 --> 00:22:47,633
Now, he thinks I'm weak.
331
00:22:49,425 --> 00:22:50,841
"Sevika will clean it up."
332
00:22:50,925 --> 00:22:53,883
Sevika's a regular Johnny-on-the-spot.
333
00:22:56,633 --> 00:22:58,341
I'm not weak.
334
00:23:05,341 --> 00:23:06,966
And I'm gonna show him.
335
00:23:07,050 --> 00:23:10,258
Oh, I'm gonna show him. You'll see.

Where were you?
341
00:23:23,716 --> 00:23:25,925
They were asking
if I could do the address.
342
00:23:26,008 --> 00:23:28,258
You should come up with me.
We're partners.
343
00:23:28,341 --> 00:23:32,300
No, no. Not in front of all of them…
344
00:23:33,883 --> 00:23:36,091
You… have your speech prepared?
345
00:23:37,008 --> 00:23:38,308
Uh-huh.
346
00:23:38,633 --> 00:23:41,550
[Mrs. Kiramman] An inspiration
to Piltover's future
347
00:23:41,633 --> 00:23:43,883
and that of all humanity.
348
00:23:43,966 --> 00:23:48,300
Please join me in welcoming to the stage…
349
00:23:48,925 --> 00:23:51,008
- Jayce Talis.
- Guess it's time.

Uh, good evening.
354
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,425
I know many of you probably didn't expect
to see me here today.
355
00:24:37,508 --> 00:24:39,633
And believe me,

433

that we suspend all Hextech operations

Have you lost your mind?
437
00:30:02,675 --> 00:30:05,091
[Shoola] The Hexgates must remain open.
438
00:30:05,175 --> 00:30:08,591
Piltover's status
as a global shipping lane depends on it.
439
00:30:08,675 --> 00:30:10,675
Thousands would lose their income.
440
00:30:10,758 --> 00:30:14,591
But shouldn't the safety of Piltover
be our first priority?

It appears we are at an impasse.

If we shut down the Hexgates,
the city will suffer.
447
00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:34,800
But if we do nothing,
448
00:30:34,883 --> 00:30:38,216
we leave ourselves vulnerable
to malefactors.

450
00:30:41,341 --> 00:30:46,216

to explore a more radical solution.

What are you suggesting?
452
00:30:50,091 --> 00:30:54,258
Mr. Talis has demonstrated
his commitment to our safety.
453
00:30:54,341 --> 00:30:57,383
He's willing to sacrifice
his own enterprise.
454
00:30:57,466 --> 00:31:00,341
And it seems to me only Mr. Talis
455
00:31:00,425 --> 00:31:03,425
has the knowledge necessary
to secure the Hexgates.
456
00:31:03,508 --> 00:31:06,841
I propose that a new chair
be brought forth,

531
00:35:02,341 --> 00:35:06,300
I don't need charity, Councilor.
Yours or my parents'.
532
00:35:06,383 --> 00:35:08,300
- Cait.
- Get out.
533
00:35:12,758 --> 00:35:13,758
[sighs]
534
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,841
- [retreating footsteps]
- [door opens]
535
00:35:18,008 --> 00:35:20,008
[foreboding music plays]
536
00:35:26,383 --> 00:35:27,758
[owl hooting]
537
00:35:30,300 --> 00:35:31,841
[boat creaks]
538
00:35:38,216 --> 00:35:40,176
[Caitlyn] I need to speak
with one of the inmates.
539
00:35:40,675 --> 00:35:44,216
Oh, folks in here
aren't usually very talkative.
540
00:35:44,758 --> 00:35:46,800
This one was hit by friendly fire.
541
00:35:46,883 --> 00:35:50,591
He's got reason to talk.
Must have been sent in today?
542
00:35:51,716 --> 00:35:55,966
Oh. Inmate 2135.
543
00:35:56,716 --> 00:36:00,175
[warden]
Yeah, I'm, uh, afraid that's not possible.
544
00:36:00,258 --> 00:36:02,800
- Why not?
- Uh, well, there's been…
545
00:36:02,883 --> 00:36:05,341
- an incident.
- [Caitlyn] What kind of incident?
546
00:36:05,425 --> 00:36:07,800
- [warden] The…
- [gasps, grunts]
547
00:36:07,883 --> 00:36:09,716
…Not so pretty kind.
548
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,100
[rattling]
549
00:36:12,258 --> 00:36:14,716
[Caitlyn] You don't understand,
I have to talk to him.
550
00:36:15,216 --> 00:36:20,258
[warden] Oh, you'll be able to.
As soon as he can move his jaw again.
551
00:36:21,258 --> 00:36:22,558
[Caitlyn] Who assaulted him?
552
00:36:23,966 --> 00:36:25,966
[tense music plays]
553
00:36:30,966 --> 00:36:32,266
[loud thud]
554
00:36:33,925 --> 00:36:35,966
[thudding continues]
555
00:36:50,008 --> 00:36:51,308
Who the hell are you?
556
00:36:51,675 --> 00:36:54,216
[tense music playing continues]
