Elias's point of view but we open with 67 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,120 Nora Elias underused name great name 68 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,239 yeah I like it yeah yeah when I read it 69 00:03:19,120

78 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,159 had 79 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,879 47 m missed text messages on this thread 80 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:52,480 where they were going back and forth 81 00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:55,720 Just on baby names so uh a little in in 82 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,400 the the name head space that makes sense 83 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,720 and it is a big decision I was about to 84 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,439 say 47 text messages feels really 85 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,799 extreme but if you're going to do that 86 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:05,120 with anything it should be what you're 87 00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:08,480 going to name your kid right and there's 88 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,200 five of us on the thread yeah so I feel 89 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,760 like that that's pretty easy to do when 90 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,040 you get on a roll yeah that's fair okay 91 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,359 but oh I was up say say so tell me more 92 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,160 about silus but that's not his name no 93 00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:25,520 we're we're still with Nora so there is 94 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:30,320 a we haven't even made it to the other 95 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:33,120 one yet okay so there's a uh government 96 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,080 agency called the Paranormal citizens 97 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:41,440 relations Bureau because 98 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:44,800 monsters came out a few years ago and 99 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:48,800 like let humans at large know that they 100 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,919 exist and so they're integrating into 101 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,720 society and so the Paranormal citizens 102 00:04:50,919 --> 00:04:53,960 relations Bureau that's the last time 103 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,759 I'm going to say the whole thing cuz 104 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,759 it's a lot um is like responsible for 105 00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:04,639 supporting them and figuring that out 106 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:06,919 out so Nora is very much human and she 107 00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:10,320 is at the bureau because she's been 108 00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:12,360 recognized as a mate to a kraken shifter 109 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,120 so she's meeting with an agent who is 110 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,440 telling her 111 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:20,160 hey somebody recognized you as their 112 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,240 mate is that part of why Monsters made 113 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,120 their presence known for the opportunity 114 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,240 to mate does that matter why they made 115 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,280 their presence known I don't think that 116 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,479 ever really fully comes out okay um 117 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:38,440 there's a lot of like political stuff in 118 00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:43,000 in there um but primarily it seemed to 119 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:46,440 be more of a um like a changing of the 120 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,759 times thing where with cell phones and 121 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,600 cameras and things like that it was 122 00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:52,759 getting harder to hide and so they were 123 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:57,160 kind of like let's just get ahead of it 124 00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:59,840 I respect that so nor is freaking out um 125 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,919

she's safe um I 210 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:05,120 will I will let her come to me so we're 211 00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:06,680 back to Nora she is staying busy going 212 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,640 to work in a where she works in a 213 00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:12,160 bookstore she's doing her thing and then 214 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,720 she it's Tuesday which is Coffee Day 215 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,880 apparently she has a very regimented 216 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:20,079 schedule because Tuesday is Coffee Day 217 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:22,160 where she like goes out for a coffee so 218 00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:25,519 she goes to a different shop I feel like 219 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:28,640 she she might need some 220 00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:29,600 more kazaz in her life little razzled 221 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,360 Dazzle 222 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:35,600 something something she doesn't want any 223 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,680 of it so she goes to a different coffee 224 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,639 shop hoping to avoid Elias because 225 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:43,399 that's where he saw her the first 226 00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:46,240 time um which my notes say unsuccessful 227 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:48,639 he was also trying to avoid the same 228 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,360 coffee shop they run into each 229 00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:52,800 other I thought I thought he was you 230 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,600 were going to say it was unsuccessful 231 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,560 because he was stalking her and just 232 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,160 followed her to the other so he really 233 00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:00,440 is trying to be respectful and be like 234 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,480 okay like that's her Cofe I'll go to 235 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,800 this one I will like give her space and 236 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:09,399 time which is part of why I like this 237 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:11,600 book because it's a very sort of 238 00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:14,519 refreshing departure from the usual 239 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,639 faded mate thing where he was like tough 240 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:20,079 [ __ ] like I'm your mate and like 241 00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:23,000 dragging her off somewhere like I love 242 00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:25,560 books when they like claim them in a 243 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,200 bonding ceremony and don't tell them 244 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:31,839 until after she's like I just felt a 245 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:34,560 burn on my ass while we were Bing then 246 00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:36,959 afterward she's like he branded me that 247 00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:41,920 son of a [ __ ] and you're 248 00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:44,360 like wait wait what he did what consent 249 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,680 matters you guys for a lot of reasons 250 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:50,000 for a lot of reasons and in this one 251 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:51,480 Elias is very conscious of that and it's 252 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,480 very endearing 253 00:11:51,480 --> 00:12:00,079 actually so um he's the CEO of major 254 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:03,560 company and blah blah blah and and he so 255 00:12:00,079 --> 00:12:07,600 he's a successful very successful Kraken 256 00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:11,880 shifter yes so we learned that Blair the 257 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:14,199 director of The Bureau and Elias were we 258 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,360 eventually put it all together they were 259 00:12:14,199 --> 00:12:18,680 pirates together and then they started a 260 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,199 legitimate business and they would trade 261 00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:24,720 off like every 30 years since they don't 262 00:12:22,199 --> 00:12:26,480 die or age so one of them would be the 263 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,760 public face of the company the other one 264 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,839 would work in the background and then 265 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:33,360 they would switch every so often so 266 00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:36,120 people wouldn't get like suspicious so 267 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,480 they would switch every 30 I don't 268 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,160 remember I didn't write it down they 269 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,560 switch every so 270 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,600 often that I apologize that wasn't me 271 00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:47,160 crique like critiquing your I don't know 272 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,959 no it was more of I'm like you think 273 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,760 they would need to switch more often 274 00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:54,399 because if you don't age I think some 275 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,079 disp sooner than 30 years I'm sure they 276 00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:59,040 did something like dye their hair gray 277 00:12:56,079 --> 00:13:03,480 or something I don't know and none of 278 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:06,480 that was explained but um so he's 279 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,360 clearly also very powerful so Blair left 280 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,120 the company Elias took it over 281 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:14,279 completely so he's very very wealthy um 282 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:17,240 and very powerful and Nora remembers 283 00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:18,760 running from her ex and having to take 284 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,839 just like a little bit of cash and 285 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,120 jewelry that she could carry before 286 00:13:20,839 --> 00:13:25,800 moving across the country to Seattle 287 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:29,120 because he was also very powerful and 288 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:31,440 very wealthy and she's like yeah can't 289 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:37,320 be under anyone's thumb yeah she's like 290 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:40,000 double no not doing this um so he starts 291 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,560 walking with her like not following her 292 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,320 but he just wants to continue their 293 00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:46,839 conversation and he touches her shoulder 294 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:50,040 and she flips out she's like do not 295 00:13:46,839 --> 00:13:52,839 touch me do not speak to me again and we 296 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,560 go to his point of view and he feels so 297 00:13:52,839 --> 00:13:58,240 bad like he feels so so guilty that he 298 00:13:55,560 --> 00:14:04,199 cross crossed a boundary that he scared 299 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:07,199 her and so he realizes that she 300 00:14:04,199 --> 00:14:09,639 is she is not going to change her mind 301 00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:12,279 like she's very set in the boundaries 302 00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:14,800 that that she's putting forth and so he 303 00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:21,199 is going to do his absolute very best to 304 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:23,160 honor them and um so he makes a decision 305 00:14:21,199 --> 00:14:24,759 he is not going to reach out to her he 306 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,720 is not going to speak to her even if he 307 00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:29,480 sees her in public like he's going to 308 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,759 leave her alone uh but when he gets to 309 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,399 work he starts researching her online 310 00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:34,759 because he just can't help it like he 311 00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:36,959 just wants to know a little bit more 312 00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:39,839 about her and he feels really guilty 313 00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:41,880 that he's even doing that um but 314 00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:44,360 eventually finds out that she used to 315 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,759 have a different last name and her 316 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:50,440 boyfriend was in Congress until she 317 00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:53,800 suddenly disappeared like 3 years ago so 318 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:56,399 they were constantly like on page six or 319 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:59,959 in magazines and stuff together and then 320 00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:02,480 all of a sudden she just like poofed 321 00:14:59,959 --> 00:15:04,839 yeah so like her ex is not a man who 322 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,920 like just like thought he emitted big 323 00:15:04,839 --> 00:15:08,600 dick energy and like was not like he 324 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,120 like powerful in his own head but it was 325 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:15,279 really just like physically controlling

and 439 00:19:54,080 --> 00:20:00,200 just 440 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:02,880 that wild ride that was the 441 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,320 OC but yeah like when you watch those 442 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,240 shows and you're like this is not the 443 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,120 real world like this is 444 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,480 not like this is not what we emulate our 445 00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:15,280 Behavior off of and why would you want 446 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:18,320 to like why would you want to be that I 447 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:21,440 don't get it I don't get it and so 448 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:25,400 really this Kraken shifter is is 449 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,960 representing the best of us all he is he 450 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:33,159 is and speaking of friend groups Nora is 451 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:37,360 having my notes say bestie time um and 452 00:20:33,159 --> 00:20:39,480 they she has two best friends I at least 453 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:42,080 one of them gets her own book I think 454 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,600 the other also does but I'm not positive 455 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,280 I did read the next one in the series 456 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:50,760 cuz I did enjoy this one so much but um 457 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:54,799 the besties talk to her about like all 458 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:56,080 of her fears and like he is not your ex 459 00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:58,679 and you 460 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,520 know even if you do start dating this 461 00:20:58,679 --> 00:21:03,159 Kraken cuz that's the other concern that 462 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:06,200 she has is that Elias is fairly 463 00:21:03,159 --> 00:21:11,080 high-profile so if she starts dating him 464 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:14,640 her ex could potentially find her um if 465 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:17,919 but okay I might go ahead no I probably 466 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,799 left something out well no but she she H 467 00:21:17,919 --> 00:21:22,360 she still has the same first name she's 468 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:24,520 just changed her last name 469 00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:26,279 uhhuh I don't know with how powerful 470 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,440 they're portraying him to be it doesn't 471 00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:31,240 really seem like he wouldn't able to 472 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:36,200 find her across the country if he really 473 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:39,360 wanted to right now it seemed like he 474 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:43,000 did want to but he couldn't let anybody 475 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:45,559 know that she left him like that and so 476 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,679 he couldn't use all the resources at his 477 00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:49,679 disposal because to keep up appearances 478 00:21:47,679 --> 00:21:51,600 I see okay yeah that's the way they made 479 00:21:49,679 --> 00:21:55,520 it out to be but if she starts getting 480 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:57,000 photographed with Elias then you know 481 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,559 it's kind of all for not I also just 482 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,360 finished a book series where they had 483 00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:02,080 like their own satellite system so they 484 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:04,279 were like we can literally do whatever 485 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,760 we want and spy on anyone and find 486 00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:09,240 anyone so I'm probably also making it 487 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:12,039 easier in my head than it is to just 488 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,039 find people who try and hide obviously 489 00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:16,559 yeah it's like we were just talking 490 00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:18,240 about Alias earlier it's like Alias they 491 00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:20,159 just get on and they're like they hit 492 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,480 four buttons on a keyboard and they're 493 00:22:20,159 --> 00:22:26,919 like well got them they're in Taiwan 494 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,919 nailed it like 495 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,640 what 496 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:35,440 I'm like my computer doesn't even unlock 497 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:38,720 that quickly I can't log in and you have 498 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,919 already found the bomb my Google Chrome 499 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,720 crashes at least once a 500 00:22:40,919 --> 00:22:47,520 week like okay 501 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:49,279 guys so anyway Nora is concerned about 502 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,000 all these things her friends are talking 503 00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:54,039 her through all of that um but they 504 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,559 don't tell her what to do they're just 505 00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:59,840 like talking her through her fears 506 00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:01,919 supporting her and then Blair the 507 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,760 director of The Bureau calls and asks to 508 00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:07,720 meet up with her and he tells her that 509 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,200 um he does know who she is like in 510 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,880 relation to her 511 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:15,200 ex um but he doesn't have access to 512 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:18,799 their files and she is not going to be 513 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:23,840 exposed through the government that way 514 00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:26,640 um and she's like would Elias even want 515 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:30,400 to see me at this point like I really 516 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:35,080 shut him down super hard like uh I don't 517 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:38,679 know and she also has this concern she's 518 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:40,640 like well is being a mate like is he 519 00:23:38,679 --> 00:23:44,240 obligated to me like does he even 520 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:46,960 actually want me or is it the whole mate 521 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:50,159 thing that is like spurring this 522 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:53,679 on and well 523 00:23:50,159 --> 00:23:55,840 Nora you barely talk to the man so I 524 00:23:53,679 --> 00:23:57,480 think right now it is probably an 525 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,919 interest in wanting to get to know the 526 00:23:57,480 -->

irritated to be sitting there and then 558 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:24,360 his assistant comes in um and says that 559 00:25:21,399 --> 00:25:27,760 someone on his urgent list is here it's 560

it cool 566 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,039 he's got very much 567 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:48,440 like I want to say golden retriever 568 00:25:46,039 --> 00:25:50,679 cinnamon roll energy where he's like 569 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,080 don't freak her out like I can see like 570 00:25:50,679 --> 00:25:55,080 a golden retriever tail like just going 571 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:58,760 but trying to be as still as possible 572 00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:00,840 like don't startle her like 573 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,480 because he's so excited that she is like 574 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:08,080 in his 575 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:11,760 space um and she asks what would happen 576 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:15,039 if I don't agree to be your mate what 577 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:17,360 would happen and his thought this is a 578 00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:20,279 direct quote his thought is um it would 579 00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:23,399 be a black mark on my soul but he 580 00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:26,440 doesn't tell her that because his 581 00:26:23,399 --> 00:26:30,200 thought is it is not her responsibility 582 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:32,559 or her fault that she is his faded mate 583 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:36,039 and so he doesn't want her to feel 584 00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:37,480 guilty or obligated and so he basically 585 00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:42,080 is just 586 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:45,200 like you know i' I'd be kind of sad 587 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,159 like it's so endearing like he's like I 588 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,960 don't want her to feel like I'm 589 00:26:46,159 --> 00:26:48,799 emotionally manipulating her into doing 590 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,399 what I 591 00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:54,440 want and that's through the whole book 592 00:26:51,399 --> 00:26:57,399 he very it's not just like um I'm 593 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,919 putting her first but really I'm getting 594 00:26:57,399 --> 00:27:02,399 what what I want by putting her first 595 00:26:59,919 --> 00:27:04,159 but like it's really about me it truly 596 00:27:02,399 --> 00:27:05,840 does feel like it's actually about 597 00:27:04,159 --> 00:27:09,520 taking care of her which is really 598 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:12,159 really sweet um So eventually she does 599 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,120 agree to go on a date with him but just 600 00:27:12,159 --> 00:27:17,480 we're

00:55:29,079 that Daniel's like not just going to pop 1199 00:55:24,119 --> 00:55:30,760 up um um so they talk about his history 1200 00:55:29,079 --> 00:55:33,880 um 1201 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:37,000 and he tells her that he was a pirate 1202 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:39,359 with Blair back in the day um and he 1203 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,440 would capture ships in his Kraken form 1204 00:55:39,359 --> 00:55:45,400 which tells you how big he is fully 1205 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:48,520 shifted he's pretty massive oh um and 1206 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:53,079 they stopped when

really feel 1770 01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:13,199 intimidated but he does have a gun and 1771 01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:16,040 she's like yeah he is insane enough to 1772 01:23:13,199 --> 01:23:19,679 use it and potentially hurt other people 1773 01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:24,040 too so she just tries to play along um 1774 01:23:19,679 --> 01:23:26,400 he's trying to get in her head um 1775 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:28,480 about you know I heard you have a mate 1776 01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:31,280 do you really think he's coming for you 1777 01:23:28,480 --> 01:23:34,040 like kind of mocking her kind of thing 1778 01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:36,880 and um I mean is his plan to kill her or 1779 01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:40,199 get her back well that's the really 1780 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:43,360 confusing part I don't think he knows 1781 01:23:40,199 --> 01:23:46,960 because she reaches for the bond in her 1782 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:49,440 chest and um that she can feel in her 1783 01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:53,920 chest and 1784 01:23:49,440 --> 01:23:55,719 um so she's also tugging back she 1785 01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:57,400 doesn't know like what it is really or 1786 01:23:55,719 --> 01:24:00,520 if it's going to work but she's she's 1787 01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:02,199 tugging back and he tells her Daniel 1788 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:04,159 tells her they're going back to DC and 1789 01:24:02,199 --> 01:24:06,480 he has a plane waiting and starts 1790 01:24:04,159 --> 01:24:10,280 dragging her out of the bar and she 1791 01:24:06,480 --> 01:24:12,159 realizes that if he gets in the car it's 1792 01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:13,880 game over like if he doesn't outright 1793 01:24:12,159 --> 01:24:16,560 kill her he takes her to a third 1794 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:18,840 location right if we go to a third 1795 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:21,840 location we're really Fu guys I really 1796 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:24,480 think the Third location is bad news 1797 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:25,560 third one is the problem way to trust 1798 01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:29,920 your gut 1799 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:31,280 Nora so um she is freaking out that 1800 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:34,639 maybe he's going to kill her so she 1801 01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:38,080 starts struggling and then um she hears 1802 01:24:34,639 --> 01:24:42,560 Elias my notes say big 1803 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:46,480 mad um he distracts Daniel um long 1804 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:51,520 enough to get him to let her go and he 1805 01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:53,600 starts waving the gun around and um 1806 01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:56,719 Blair shows up up and it turns out Blair 1807 01:24:53,600 --> 01:25:00,760 is a dragon so Blair shows up in Dragon 1808 01:24:56,719 --> 01:25:03,119 form and it very quickly deals with 1809 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:06,600 Daniel not an 1810 01:25:03,119 --> 01:25:09,400 issue Daniel's gun may have been 1811 01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:12,440 intimidating right till a dragon the 1812 01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:16,480 dragon showed up and Daniel very quickly 1813 01:25:12,440 --> 01:25:20,080 realized he ain't [ __ ] right you bought 1814 01:25:16,480 --> 01:25:25,000 a

01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:32,880 him to go [ __ ] up Daniel to like really 1818 01:25:30,159 --> 01:25:35,320 just lay into him but Nora is his 1819 01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:39,000 priority and so he takes care of her 1820 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:41,560 first so um she's got bruises all over 1821 01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:45,760 her um and he's just doing his best to 1822 01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:49,560 take
