00:11:50,791 --> 00:11:51,791
Which you have.
180
00:11:51,875 --> 00:11:55,333
You said, "Perhaps, your sentimentality
will be more at home
181
00:11:55,416 --> 00:11:58,166
with those soft-spined
idealists overseas."
182
00:12:00,125 --> 00:12:01,833
You have your father's memory.
183
00:12:01,916 --> 00:12:04,083
Don't try to ingratiate yourself with me.
184
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:06,416
-Mel.
-Or that.
185
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,583
[seagulls caw]
186
00:12:11,166 --> 00:12:12,750
Your brother's gone.
187
00:12:13,541 --> 00:12:14,958
[gasps]
188
00:12:16,291 --> 00:12:17,375
What happened?
189
00:12:18,958 --> 00:12:21,958
[sighs]
He crossed the wrong man.
190
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,083
I was distracted.
191
00:12:25,166 --> 00:12:27,500
That's a mistake I can't take back.
192
00:12:28,125 --> 00:12:30,291
[heavy breathing]
193
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:34,916
Your Jayce Talis has turned his eye
to Hextech weaponry.
194
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,666
[scoffs]
I knew it.
195
00:12:36,750 --> 00:12:38,291
War is coming.
196
00:12:38,375 --> 00:12:41,375
You've let the problems
of your undercity fester too long.
197
00:12:41,458 --> 00:12:43,000
Piltover isn't like Noxus.
198
00:12:43,083 --> 00:12:46,000
War isn't our first and every recourse.
199
00:12:46,083 --> 00:12:50,416
I sponsored Hextech to protect the city,
not burn it to the ground.
200
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:53,208
It's not conjecture, it's a fact.
201
00:12:53,291 --> 00:12:57,083
Weapons can't be unmade
and they are always used.
202
00:12:57,166 --> 00:13:00,958
I'm here to help guide you
to the right decisions.
203
00:13:01,041 --> 00:13:04,625
-I don't need your guidance.
-We'll see.
204
00:13:06,208 --> 00:13:07,666
Miss Medarda?
205
00:13:08,708 --> 00:13:09,708
-Yes?
-Yes?
206
00:13:13,041 --> 00:13:14,791
He's for me, dear.
207
00:13:18,958 --> 00:13:21,375
I'm off to sample the local cuisine.
208
00:13:24,958 --> 00:13:27,958
[seagulls caw]
209
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:31,208
[door opens]
210
00:13:34,041 --> 00:13:37,791
We'll present our case
to the Council tonight.
211
00:13:40,666 --> 00:13:41,833
You did all this yourself?
212
00:13:42,666 --> 00:13:44,208
Without even going down there?
213
00:13:45,833 --> 00:13:46,708
[Vi sighs]
214
00:13:46,791 --> 00:13:49,958
And I thought Powder could get obsessed.
[scoffs]
215
00:13:52,750 --> 00:13:55,958
What happened to her, it's not your fault.
216
00:13:59,958 --> 00:14:01,875
When my parents were still alive…
217
00:14:03,916 --> 00:14:05,666
me and Powder
used to share a bed like this.
218
00:14:06,250 --> 00:14:09,166
Except, maybe, half the size.
219
00:14:10,208 --> 00:14:15,208
We played a game where we pretended
to be bigger and bigger monsters.
220
00:14:16,583 --> 00:14:21,125
So she would say, "I'm a slug monster
with venom for ooze."
221
00:14:22,375 --> 00:14:26,833
And I'd say, "Well, I'm a slug-eating crab
with razor spikes."
222
00:14:29,125 --> 00:14:33,750
Sometimes, I… I'd get carried away
and she'd get scared.
223
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:39,416
I didn't want her to start crying
and wake my parents up, so…
224
00:14:40,041 --> 00:14:42,333
I pretended to chase my own monsters away.
225
00:14:43,958 --> 00:14:44,833
I'd say…
226
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,500
"No monster's gonna get you
when I'm here."
227
00:14:50,166 --> 00:14:51,958
Then a real monster showed up.
228
00:14:54,791 --> 00:14:56,333
And I just ran away.
229
00:14:58,333 --> 00:14:59,750
I left her.
230
00:15:01,041 --> 00:15:03,583
[dramatic music]

[Powder laughs]
238
00:15:27,541 --> 00:15:30,500
You know, Powder,
you're stronger than you think.
239
00:15:31,125 --> 00:15:32,083
Vi?
240
00:15:33,750 --> 00:15:35,791
[Vi] I'm so sorry, Powder.
241
00:15:35,875 --> 00:15:38,291
-Your sister is jinx.
-No!
242
00:15:39,791 --> 00:15:41,125
[Vi] Jinx.
243
00:15:41,208 --> 00:15:43,041
No, no. No!
244
00:15:43,125 --> 00:15:44,291
[sobs]
245
00:15:44,833 --> 00:15:47,250
I understand this must be painful.
246

No!
[whimpers]
247
00:15:49,250 --> 00:15:52,416
-I'm afraid it will only get worse.
-Wait!

No!

What have you done?
254
00:16:32,375 --> 00:16:33,791
I saved her life.
255
00:16:36,958 --> 00:16:38,541

Hmm.

Hmm…
274
00:17:39,041 --> 00:17:40,208
Like this.

Oh, ingenious.

Though these blades
seem improperly pitched.
284
00:18:12,875 --> 00:18:14,250
[Ekko] You're wrong.
285
00:18:15,166 --> 00:18:16,750
It's designed for the fissures.
286
00:18:17,416 --> 00:18:18,833
The air is denser.
287
00:18:18,916 --> 00:18:19,750
[Heimerdinger] Oh.
288
00:18:19,833 --> 00:18:22,125
-[grunts]
-Are you all right, lad?
289
00:18:22,208 --> 00:18:25,583
Yeah, I'm fine, I just sprained my ankle.
290
00:18:26,916 --> 00:18:29,291
Are you Councilor Heimerdinger?
291
00:18:30,250 --> 00:18:32,875
It's just Heimerdinger now.
292
00:18:33,375 --> 00:18:35,208
What are you doing
on this side of the river?
293
00:18:36,166 --> 00:18:38,166
I wanted to offer my assistance
294
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:40,458
to the citizens of the undercity, but…
295
00:18:40,958 --> 00:18:43,958
it seems I'm unwelcome.
296
00:18:44,458 --> 00:18:46,166
[chuckles]
297
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:49,083

[scoffs]
299
00:18:51,041 --> 00:18:55,291
That looks like more than a sprain.
You need medical attention.
300
00:18:55,375 --> 00:18:58,583
I have to get home.
It isn't safe for me here.
301
00:18:58,666 --> 00:18:59,500
[grunts]
302
00:18:59,583 --> 00:19:03,208
I don't know how I'm gonna get there
with my leg busted, and, well…
303
00:19:03,791 --> 00:19:05,083
you're holding my ride.
304
00:19:07,666 --> 00:19:10,416

[slurps]
307
00:19:18,291 --> 00:19:21,458
Do they teach military history
at your Academy, Mr. Talis?
308
00:19:22,125 --> 00:19:24,500
It's, um, Councilor Talis.
309
00:19:25,333 --> 00:19:26,791
And I'm not sure.
310
00:19:26,875 --> 00:19:29,333
[Mrs. Medarda] The Alornian General
Sonnem Parlec
311
00:19:29,416 --> 00:19:32,333
used to find ways
to meet his enemies blindfolded.
312
00:19:32,916 --> 00:19:35,666
He said a man's mind
hides behind his body.
313
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:38,666
Somehow, I doubt he ever tried this.
314
00:19:39,333 --> 00:19:40,541
You're Mel's mom.
315
00:19:41,291 --> 00:19:42,625
Among other things.
316
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:46,375
[Mrs. Medarda] Squeeze, child.
You won't break it.
317
00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:49,666
I do have other matters,
so if you'll excuse me…
318
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:51,916
[Mrs. Medarda] The threat
of the undercity is real.
319
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,250
-Your leadership is impotent.
-[scoffs]
320
00:19:55,333 --> 00:19:58,583
We may not be Noxus, but Piltover
isn't as helpless as you think.
321
00:19:58,666 --> 00:20:00,500
[Mrs. Medarda]
Who said anything about Piltover?
322
00:20:00,583 --> 00:20:04,666
The Council is the problem.
The mind hiding behind the body.
323
00:20:04,750 --> 00:20:09,000
Navigating your current crisis
requires expertise you lack.
324
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:13,083
Do you know what the success rate
for senior Academy inventors is?
325
00:20:13,166 --> 00:20:14,250
[Jayce] Three percent.
326
00:20:14,833 --> 00:20:16,708
We're no strangers to failure.
327
00:20:16,791 --> 00:20:20,416
What makes this the City of Progress is
that we keep trying until we get it right.
328
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,875
So thank you for your advice,
Mrs. Medarda, but I have a city to run.
329
00:20:26,041 --> 00:20:27,208
Wait.
330
00:20:27,291 --> 00:20:29,458
[water sloshes]
331
00:20:30,125 --> 00:20:31,750
[gasps, clears throat]
332
00:20:32,250 --> 00:20:35,291
[Mrs. Medarda] I see why this province
and my daughter have fallen for you.
333
00:20:35,916 --> 00:20:37,833
You have the passion of youth.
334
00:20:38,333 --> 00:20:41,000
I have experience.
335
00:20:41,083 --> 00:20:44,958
I want you to succeed here, Jayce,
to grace the world with Hextech.
336
00:20:45,041 --> 00:20:49,833
But if you don't accept certain realities,
I fear you'll end up like General Parlec.
337
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:53,750
Slaughtered with your eyes closed.
338
00:20:53,833 --> 00:20:55,291
[suspenseful music]
339
00:20:56,708 --> 00:20:58,458
[Councilor 1]
Three of my suppliers have said
340
00:20:58,541 --> 00:21:00,958
they intend to delay shipments until fall
341
00:21:01,041 --> 00:21:03,208
to give things "time to cool off."
342
00:21:03,291 --> 00:21:05,708
[Mrs. Kiramman] We have greater concerns
than a dip in profits.
343
00:21:05,791 --> 00:21:08,666
The Sheriff betrayed us.
We need better information.
344
00:21:08,750 --> 00:21:12,250
We need to act.
Before anyone else gets killed.
345
00:21:12,875 --> 00:21:15,375
Perhaps Marcus
was operating independently.
346
00:21:15,458 --> 00:21:18,791
What could anyone in the undercity
offer him that he didn't have up here?
347
00:21:18,875 --> 00:21:20,500
It's not what they offered him,
348
00:21:21,083 --> 00:21:22,875
it's what he had to lose.
349
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:28,166
Councilors, my daughter
has a unique insight into our situation.
350
00:21:28,750 --> 00:21:29,666
Thank you.
351
00:21:31,041 --> 00:21:34,791
Councilors, this is Vi.
She was born in the undercity.
352
00:21:35,291 --> 00:21:38,291
Even though we failed her
in countless ways,
353
00:21:38,375 --> 00:21:42,291
she risked everything to show me
what life is really like down there.
354
00:21:42,875 --> 00:21:46,625
People are starving, sick,
ravaged by Shimmer.
355
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:48,916
[Caitlyn] They live in constant fear
356
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,750
of the coordinated efforts
of violent crime lords.
357
00:21:52,291 --> 00:21:54,041
One man leads these efforts.
358
00:21:54,125 --> 00:21:55,208
Silco.
359
00:21:55,958 --> 00:21:58,458
We've done investigations of Silco.
360
00:21:58,541 --> 00:22:01,166
They yielded no such level
of organization.
361
00:22:01,250 --> 00:22:03,291
And who led these investigations?
362
00:22:05,208 --> 00:22:06,791
What does this Silco even want from us?
363
00:22:06,875 --> 00:22:09,625
He believes the undercity
should be independent.
364
00:22:09,708 --> 00:22:11,791
He calls it the Nation of Zaun.
365
00:22:11,875 --> 00:22:14,291
[suspenseful music]
366
00:22:14,375 --> 00:22:16,708
What about these?
Do you know who made them?
367
00:22:16,791 --> 00:22:18,416
No, well…
368
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,166
-[Caitlyn] Uh…
-Her name is Jinx.
369
00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:23,291
[Jayce] This Jinx has the Gemstone?
370
00:22:24,791 --> 00:22:27,333
-Then we have to go in by force.
-That could trigger war.
371
00:22:27,416 --> 00:22:30,708
-There are good people down there.
-[Councilor 1] Hmph. Bad ones too.
372
00:22:30,791 --> 00:22:33,750
[Councilor 2] Even if we wanted to invade,
they have Shimmer.
373
00:22:34,333 --> 00:22:35,750
We have Hextech.
374
00:22:36,375 --> 00:22:37,625
What happened to you?
375
00:22:37,708 --> 00:22:40,375
We've been talking about talking
for weeks now.
376
00:22:40,458 --> 00:22:42,666
They're still cleaning the blood
off the bridge.
377
00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:45,750
-When do we say enough is enough?
-Jayce, you don't know war.
378
00:22:46,333 --> 00:22:47,208
I do.
379
00:22:47,291 --> 00:22:52,083
It must be our last resort.
There may be a diplomatic solution.
380
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:54,791
She's right.
381
00:22:54,875 --> 00:22:56,458

[sighs]
383
00:23:02,208 --> 00:23:04,625
What? You want to negotiate with him?
384
00:23:04,708 --> 00:23:07,666
[Mrs. Kiramman] It may be the only way
to avoid further bloodshed.
385
00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:10,958
[Vi] This is insane.
Did you learn nothing?
386
00:23:11,041 --> 00:23:13,000
You can't talk to him!
387
00:23:13,083 --> 00:23:16,208
He hates you. Everything you stand for.
388
00:23:16,791 --> 00:23:18,833
He will never back down.
389
00:23:21,791 --> 00:23:25,500
-Enforcers, please escort them out.
-Forget it.
390
00:23:25,583 --> 00:23:27,916
[Vi] I remember
where your fancy damn door is.
391
00:23:29,333 --> 00:23:30,750

[Caitlyn] Vi! Wait!
395
00:23:42,375 --> 00:23:44,875
Wait! Where are you going?
396
00:23:44,958 --> 00:23:47,041
I don't know. Back where I came from?
397
00:23:47,125 --> 00:23:49,416
Seems like that's
what everyone up here wants.
398
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:51,625
-I can fix this.
-You can't!
399
00:23:51,708 --> 00:23:54,416
[Vi] This is how things are.
How they've always been.
400
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:57,000
I was so stupid to think it could change.
401
00:23:57,083 --> 00:24:00,958
[Caitlyn] There must be something else
we can do. Some other way.
402
00:24:01,041 --> 00:24:03,291
We'll make a new plan. We have to try.
403
00:24:03,916 --> 00:24:06,541
We tried. Okay? It wasn't enough.
404
00:24:06,625 --> 00:24:09,833
Topside and bottom. Oil and water.
That's all there is.
405
00:24:10,625 --> 00:24:11,833
What about us?
406
00:24:14,375 --> 00:24:15,458
Oil and water.
407
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,208
Wasn't meant to be.

[sighs]

00:24:19,041 --> 00:24:22,208
-You're just saying that.
-[Vi] Do yourself a favor, Cupcake.
410
00:24:23,083 --> 00:24:26,750
Go back to that big,
shiny house of yours and just…
411
00:24:27,958 --> 00:24:30,500

on a private project

for a couple weeks now.
426

I was inspired by your…

You want to make Silco pay
for what he's done?

00:28:20,583 --> 00:28:22,000
I could have you arrested.
466
00:28:22,708 --> 00:28:24,750
You guys really like
to bandy that threat around.
467
00:28:25,458 --> 00:28:27,333

-[Jayce] No.
-[Vi scoffs]

00:28:29,125 --> 00:28:32,375
So you just wave an arm,
have someone dragged off,
470
00:28:32,458 --> 00:28:34,750
don't bother to find out
what it does to someone

00:28:34,833 --> 00:28:39,166
being stuffed in a stone box
for weeks, or months, or even years?

-Fuck the Council.

You said you were tired of doing nothing.

[Vi] That's the only sensible thing
that came out of anyone's mouth tonight.

I'm not a vigilante.

looked for when we made it to topside.

[Vi] Silco controls
the undercity with Shimmer.
492
00:29:40,458 --> 00:29:41,916
Shut down his supply,
493
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,125
and it's only a matter of time
before his own people turn on him.
494
00:29:45,208 --> 00:29:46,375
[Jayce] And how do we do that?
495
00:29:46,458 --> 00:29:48,500
[Vi] Take out
his manufacturing facilities.
496
00:29:48,583 --> 00:29:51,000

before he can react.
