00:13:00,821 --> 00:13:03,281
The Atlas Gauntlets.

182
00:13:03,365 --> 00:13:06,744
The mining colonies in the fissures
can work faster and without fatigue.

The Hex Claw.
184
00:13:12,124 --> 00:13:16,128
[Viktor] A mechanical arm,
equipped with a powerful ray of light.
185

[zapping]
186
00:13:24,011 --> 00:13:27,473
Imagine what our artificers could do
with such a device.
187
00:13:28,056 --> 00:13:31,393
I want Hextech to be a tool
for us to build a new world.
188
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:34,730
-And now, it's finally possible.
-[whimpers]
189
00:13:38,776 --> 00:13:42,070
Anyway, this is our presentation.
190
00:13:42,154 --> 00:13:46,450
Quite amazing, gentlemen.
You should be very proud.
191
00:13:47,034 --> 00:13:51,246
Obviously, there are a few kinks
to iron out and screws to be tightened,
192
00:13:51,329 --> 00:13:55,333
but give it a decade of careful research,
and it will be ready.
193
00:13:55,417 --> 00:13:56,585
A decade?
194
00:13:56,669 --> 00:14:00,589
{\an8}Oh, don't worry, my boy.
It zips past you in the blink of an eye.
195
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:02,466
With respect, Professor.
196
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:05,469
We can be improving lives
with Hextech now.
197
00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:08,180
A breakthrough like this
takes time, Viktor.
198
00:14:08,263 --> 00:14:11,349
Putting that kind of power
into everyone's hands is dangerous.
199
00:14:11,433 --> 00:14:13,894
{\an8}Keep at it and I'm sure
you will discover a way
200
00:14:13,977 --> 00:14:16,730
to safeguard Hextech against misuse.
201
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,734

[indistinct chatter]
204
00:14:28,742 --> 00:14:33,581
There must've been four, five of them.
I don't know how they got inside.

[groans]
212
00:15:50,699 --> 00:15:51,909
You're from the undercity.
213
00:15:54,369 --> 00:15:56,872
I didn't do anything. She's crazy.
214
00:15:56,955 --> 00:15:58,081
-[grunts]
-Easy.
215
00:15:59,332 --> 00:16:00,375
She shot me.
216
00:16:00,458 --> 00:16:02,920
Who shot you? Who were you working for?
217
00:16:03,754 --> 00:16:06,632
-I can't. He'll kill me.
-Who?
218
00:16:07,549 --> 00:16:09,342
-[groans]
-[Caitlyn] I can protect you.
219
00:16:09,968 --> 00:16:13,138
[Marcus] Caitlyn Kiramman,
why does that not surprise me?
220
00:16:13,764 --> 00:16:16,058
Interfering in an investigation, again.
221
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:19,186
You're supposed to be guarding
your mother's tent.
222
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:24,107
I was, Sheriff, but she doesn't need it.
And clearly, this takes priority.
223
00:16:24,191 --> 00:16:26,401
I realize you're used
to getting your way, Kiramman,
224
00:16:26,484 --> 00:16:28,361
but we have a chain of command
for a reason.
225
00:16:28,445 --> 00:16:30,030
[Caitlyn] I understand.
226
00:16:30,113 --> 00:16:32,741
But there's more going on here
than just the smuggling.
227
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:35,619
-If I could just question him I could--
-[Marcus] I'll take it from here.
228
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:37,329
Since you're looking for more work,
229
00:16:37,412 --> 00:16:39,748
you can take the graveyard shift tonight
at the fair.
230
00:16:40,749 --> 00:16:42,751
-Yes, sir.
-Good.
231
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:45,212
I want this one on a boat
to Stillwater prison.
232
00:16:45,295 --> 00:16:46,463
[enforcer] Yes, sir.

236
00:17:30,633 --> 00:17:31,842
She fired on us.
237
00:17:32,467 --> 00:17:34,427
[Silco]
There are always mishaps in battle.
238
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:38,431
The Firelights were her target
and most are dead.
239
00:17:39,224 --> 00:17:43,103
It wasn't a mishap,
she froze up and lost her shit.
240
00:17:43,687 --> 00:17:45,480
I could've handled those brats.
241
00:17:45,563 --> 00:17:48,525
-She's a problem and we all know it.
-[Silco] We?
242
00:17:50,110 --> 00:17:50,986
Who's we?
243
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:56,700
I expect better from you than excuses.
244
00:17:56,784 --> 00:17:59,703
It was your job to make sure
things went smoothly.
245
00:18:00,746 --> 00:18:04,124
You failed. Don't disappoint me again.
246

[sighs]
249
00:18:12,590 --> 00:18:17,637
The world's growing smaller
every day, thanks to the Hexgates.
250
00:18:17,721 --> 00:18:20,015
And now, we're cut off.
251
00:18:20,098 --> 00:18:23,101
The topsiders are leaving us
further and further behind.
252
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:25,979
What happened?
253
00:18:26,730 --> 00:18:27,981
[Jinx] She already told you.
254
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:30,776
I'm asking you.
255
00:18:31,568 --> 00:18:32,945
[object thuds]
256
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:37,157
[Jinx] One of those Firelight wackos
was a girl.
257
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,036
-With pink hair.
-[Silco] Hmm…
258
00:18:48,836 --> 00:18:50,503
Your sister's gone.
259
00:18:51,046 --> 00:18:53,215
You know that as well as I do.
260
00:18:53,298 --> 00:18:56,468
I know. I know. Sisters, right?
[chuckles]
261
00:18:56,551 --> 00:18:59,721
You can't live with 'em, can't stuff
'em back in the ol' babymaker.
262
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:01,932
[chuckles, huffs]
263
00:19:02,015 --> 00:19:04,517
Today's screw-up will set us back weeks.
264
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:07,980
I'm sorry.
265
00:19:08,063 --> 00:19:11,733
-I need to know that I can rely on you.
-Phew.
266
00:19:12,692 --> 00:19:15,695
I'm doing this for us, Jinx. All of us.
267
00:19:16,196 --> 00:19:20,868
The sons and daughters of Zaun
deserve more than their runoff.
268
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:23,703
It won't happen again.
269
00:19:24,746 --> 00:19:25,747
[Silco] I know.
270
00:19:28,959 --> 00:19:30,585

[Silco sighs]
273
00:19:37,259 --> 00:19:38,676
Sevika will clean up today's mess.
274
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,890
Sevika? That ogre couldn't clean
a dust bunny with a blowtorch.
275
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:47,269
She'll suffice.
You should focus on your gadgetry.
276
00:19:47,352 --> 00:19:48,520
[Jinx] Ugh.
277
00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:50,105
Take some time.
278
00:19:50,647 --> 00:19:52,941
[stammers]
I don't need time.
279
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:56,653
Take it anyhow.

285
00:20:23,013 --> 00:20:24,181
Your mother would be proud.

00:20:24,722 --> 00:20:26,183
Hmm… Would she?
287
00:20:26,724 --> 00:20:28,268
[Elora] Tired of mingling?
288
00:20:28,351 --> 00:20:31,771
[Mel] Hmm. These people have nothing new
to offer me.
289
00:20:32,355 --> 00:20:35,067
The only one actually worth my time
is him.
290
00:20:35,650 --> 00:20:37,986
The golden boy.
[Elora chuckles]
291
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:40,447
Ah, he's won Piltover's heart.
292
00:20:41,448 --> 00:20:43,825
Oh, speak of the devil.

[Mel] To what do I owe the pleasure?
300
00:21:14,856 --> 00:21:16,649
It's Heimerdinger.
301
00:21:16,733 --> 00:21:18,276
[Mel scoffs]
When is it not?
302
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:19,861
[Jayce] We've shown him our research.
303
00:21:20,445 --> 00:21:22,114
He thinks we need more time.
304
00:21:22,197 --> 00:21:23,656
It's Progress Day.
305
00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:25,283
Representatives from all over the world
306
00:21:25,367 --> 00:21:28,620
have come to see what new wonders
the City of Progress has to offer.
307
00:21:28,703 --> 00:21:31,831
If there's a time to present
a new creation, it is now.

[chuckles]
311
00:21:37,670 --> 00:21:43,135
Heimerdinger is a great scientist.
But he's old. He only ever sees the past.
312
00:21:43,843 --> 00:21:46,346
Piltover needs a leader who looks forward.
313
00:21:47,097 --> 00:21:48,640
Someone like you.
314
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:50,308
You really believe that?
315
00:21:51,351 --> 00:21:55,313
Hextech has the potential
to change everything.
316
00:21:55,397 --> 00:21:56,731
The world is ready.
317
00:21:56,814 --> 00:21:59,276
And I've already spoken
to several potential investors.
318
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,193
Investors?
319
00:22:00,277 --> 00:22:01,486
Of course.
320
00:22:01,569 --> 00:22:03,780
[chuckling]
Everyone wants Hextech for themselves.
321
00:22:04,656 --> 00:22:06,283
It's your speech.
322
00:22:06,366 --> 00:22:08,910

It wasn't.

I know. Just…
just some wannabe street trash.

I got confused, that's all.

"Sevika will clean it up."
332
00:22:47,574 --> 00:22:50,535
Sevika's a regular Johnny-on-the-spot.
333
00:22:53,288 --> 00:22:54,998
I'm not weak.
334
00:23:02,005 --> 00:23:03,631
And I'm gonna show him.
335
00:23:03,715 --> 00:23:06,926
Oh, I'm gonna show him. You'll see.

They were asking
if I could do the address.
342
00:23:22,692 --> 00:23:24,944
You should come up with me.
We're partners.
343

No, no. Not in front of all of them…
344
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:32,785
You… have your speech prepared?
345
00:23:33,703 --> 00:23:34,621
Uh-huh.

Uh, good evening.
354
00:24:30,552 --> 00:24:34,181
I know many of you probably didn't expect
to see me here today.
355
00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:36,391

[Shoola] The Hexgates must remain open.

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.

And it seems to me only Mr. Talis

to secure the Hexgates.

This is the best I could do.
531
00:34:59,722 --> 00:35:03,685
I don't need charity, Councilor.
Yours or my parents'.
532
00:35:03,768 --> 00:35:05,687
-Cait.
-Get out.
533
00:35:10,149 --> 00:35:11,108
[sighs]
534
00:35:11,192 --> 00:35:14,236
-[retreating footsteps]
-[door opens]
535
00:35:15,404 --> 00:35:17,406
[foreboding music plays]
536
00:35:23,788 --> 00:35:25,164
[owl hooting]
537
00:35:27,708 --> 00:35:29,251
[boat creaks]
538
00:35:35,632 --> 00:35:37,551
[Caitlyn] I need to speak
with one of the inmates.
539
00:35:38,094 --> 00:35:41,638
Oh, folks in here
aren't usually very talkative.
540
00:35:42,181 --> 00:35:44,225
This one was hit by friendly fire.
541
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:48,020
He's got reason to talk.
Must have been sent in today?
542
00:35:49,146 --> 00:35:53,400
Oh. Inmate 2135.
543
00:35:54,151 --> 00:35:57,613
[warden]
Yeah, I'm, uh, afraid that's not possible.
544
00:35:57,696 --> 00:36:00,241
-Why not?
-Uh, well, there's been…
545
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:02,785
-an incident.
-[Caitlyn] What kind of incident?
546
00:36:02,869 --> 00:36:05,246
-[warden] The…
-[gasps, grunts]
547
00:36:05,329 --> 00:36:07,164
…not so pretty kind.
548
00:36:07,248 --> 00:36:08,457
[rattling]
549
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:12,169
[Caitlyn] You don't understand,
I have to talk to him.
550
00:36:12,669 --> 00:36:17,716
[warden] Oh, you'll be able to.
As soon as he can move his jaw again.
551
00:36:18,717 --> 00:36:19,802
[Caitlyn] Who assaulted him?
552
00:36:21,428 --> 00:36:23,430
[tense music plays]
553
00:36:28,435 --> 00:36:29,603
[loud thud]
554
00:36:31,397 --> 00:36:33,440
[thudding continues]
555
00:36:47,496 --> 00:36:48,622
Who the hell are you?
556
00:36:49,165 --> 00:36:51,708
[tense music playing continues]
