Is this how it's always going to be?
I really hope not...
We're out here for hours every day...
Patience, Elena...
I know we've been pushing ourselves pretty
hard lately, but with so many people
coming
to Abingdon, demand is high.
If you say so...
I wish I could be with my friends.
they're probably doing something
that's actually fun.
As far as crops go, Tobacco is fetching
an excellent price right now, so this
extra work today will pay off...
Trust me.
Maybe I'll get you a hat...
or a scarf of your own.
How about a patch like yours?
...Perhaps...
But I still don't know what "LC" stands
for... What is it he's hiding from me?
It must be something serious... It's not
like him to keep things from me...
Tobias!
...
...Ewan?
What's wrong?
It's starting.
Unrest within Abingdon is at its peak!
the people are finally growing weary
of Olikron's
grip on the colonies...
It's not just Liberty's Children!
"LC"... Liberty's Children...?
LOOK!
The whole thing's a Tinderbox on the verge of igniting...
We have to go now, Tobias!
This timing is unexpected. I wish
we had more time to prepare, but
you don't always get to choose
your opportunities...
...
Dad?
Elena.
Please stay here and wait
for me to return... I...
No, Dad!
I knew you would do this... I am NOT a
child! I deserve to know what's going on...
You can't keep hiding things from me!
I know, and I'm sorry.
One day you'll understand,
but for now, please stay
here...
I fear the city will
will not be safe.
But -
Elena.
...
I love you.
No way I'm sitting this one out...
I'm so tired of this... him
treating me like I'm a child.
How can I make a difference in the world
when he constantly shelters me from it?
I'm ready for...
...for...
Dad... You were right...
...This isn't what I thought it would be...
...But... Where are you?
...Dad?
Where is...?
Where...
is...
...My Father.
Hold your fire! Hold your fire! We're
finished here...These colonists
have learned their
lesson and won't try this again...
I tell my men this is finished...
...But I wonder what I have just started...
...And How it will end...
