Previously on Dominion. Sleeping with an angel will make you a pariah.

I was thinking, what if we understood the Archangel more? I would like reports

on your findings as you receive them.

Edward, I know you go outside to city walls every few weeks. Why?

I've missed you.

What is it you're not telling me? I'm sick, Claire.

Join me as we prepare our newest member, Brother Paul.

I made a deal with my father. He's going to stop detaining innocent people and

draw up a basic bill of rights for every man, woman, and child in Vega.

How did you manage that?

I agreed to marry you. Alex, I can help you. I can teach you.

But only if you're willing. I want to learn about everything.

You failed. No.

I got this.

Let's go again. The lesson is over, Alex.

Yeah? Is it?

Because we've been out here all day.

I still don't know what it is you're trying to teach me.

I know how to shoot.

So how do you explain this?

I went easy on you. What did you expect? You gave me live ammo. Because I was

certain you'd have no chance of hitting me.

You're a soldier.

You spent years honing your skills.

And in just a few hours, I made you forget them all simply by provoking you.

That's bullshit.

Each time I attacked you, I used the sun to blind you.

But you kept firing.

Your instincts were screaming at you.

You didn't listen to them.

Look.

My shadow.

If you weren't so busy squinting at the sun, you could use my shadow to track me

for any number of countermaneuvers.

If you knew what you were doing, that little girl would still be alive.

Hey!

Bixby.

Her name was Bixby.

You're desperate to avenge those who've been taken from you, but desperation

will only get others killed.

You must learn to control your emotions, or they will be the end of you.

Watch the shadows, not the sun.

I was just asking if you'd like to say a few words at the engagement party.

There must be some fatherly advice you'd like to share.

We're survivors, William.

We're not immortal.

I cherish your time together.

Michael's life lessons.

Did you scatter Bixby's ashes?

In the garden under a jacaranda tree.

In the spring, it's going to be full of... Purple flowers.

I thought she was going to make it through.

Yeah, we all did.

Doctors said her injuries were just too severe.

Right thing to do.

Get engaged to someone you don't love.

Alex, I had a choice to make.

I need to look out for the city.

Miss Rison?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Uh, yeah.

I'm fine. I was... It's just all this lace and silk and a dress train a

mile long.

It's all too much.

But your wedding is all that the Lower East can talk about.

I'm sure.

The princess and the principate.

Yeah.

Exactly what the Senate wants, to take people's minds off their own problems.

Grand old wedding.

Yeah.

It's like a real-life fairy tale.

Yes. Yes, it is. We are very happy.

It's a match made in heaven.

Back in the day when an eight ball was something just to be avoided on the pool

table.

Counsel, how are you feeling?

Please call me David.

We're going to be family.

Wedding present.

It's early, I know, but I heard that a young bride is in need of something

borrowed.

Thank you.

It was my wife.

She worried on our wedding day.

I really don't know what to say.

Oh, it's nothing.

Thank you.

He's beautiful.

How's your dad?

I heard about his heart. I'm sorry. You have my sympathies. Oh, well, you know,

they're not necessary. He's fine. He's stubborn as an ox. Yeah, an inspiration

to us all.

Yeah, more fight in him than most. But there are some who

have their concerns.

Who?

No one knows about his heart, so... Unless you've said something to someone.

Somehow, Senator Romero has sussed it out.

And you know her. She's like a dog with a bone. She's pushing for a vote of no

confidence in the Senate to force him to relinquish his seat.

How can she do that?

Putting her fondness for your dad aside.

You must admit that she has a point.

How prudent would it be to place the future of our city in the hands of a

dying man?

You're going to support her vote, aren't you? It might be what's best for Vega.

No, what's best for Vega is a strong leader like my father. Yeah, well, we'll

have one in you.

Me? I heard how you handled that whole ordeal with Senator Frost.

Decisive. flinching, but most importantly, you got the two of us out

of there relatively unharmed.

I'm confident you're ready.

Come on, the people worship you, Claire. They believe everything you say.

Why are you telling me this?

Because you may be lady of the city sooner than you expect.

Hello there.

That'll be $10.50.

Please don't say anything.

When you were in prison, your marking spoke to you in the form of a vision.

Why then?

Because you were cut off from the world, from chaos and distraction.

You were forced to focus.

Close your eyes.

Okay.

Now what?

Breathe.

I'm breathing, nothing's happening. It might help if you stop talking.

No.

Listen.

I don't want to hurt anyone else.

Alan.

What happened?

Where did I go?

Nowhere. We've been here for hours.

What did you see?

Alex, what did you see?

Who I'm fighting for.

I had one of the wall guards pick them for me in exchange for a night off.

I wish that I knew you were coming by.

Well, then it wouldn't have been a surprise, now would it?

What's this? It's new.

No, no, I've always had that.

No, no, I recognize that.

Have you been outside the hotel?

I just went to the market.

Inside Vega? How?

The tunnels that you used to come and see me. I know that I promised, but I

just needed some things.

Did anyone see you? No.

All these years, I've been a very good girl, haven't I? When you're gone, how

long is it going to be until I run out of food or water?

I need someone to take care of me.

What about your daughter?

Everything that you've told me about Claire, how...

How kind, how caring she is, how she helps the V1 children.

Maybe she could help me.

No, that's not possible.

You're so wise, General.

But you didn't think about all of this, did you?

Or did you just expect me to die of a broken heart?

That would be so much easier for you, wouldn't it?

You know that's not true. What am I going to do?

My kind won't take me back. They'd smell you on me.

And your kind would shoot me on the spot.

You made me believe that I was someone else.

Someone that I could never be.

And now there's nowhere for me to go.

I'll think of something. I will.

You knew, huh?

By the generals.

Bad. Taker, you knew, but you didn't tell me. I promised to give you

information on Michael.

This wasn't relevant.

Oh, well, then perhaps we should add a clause to our little agreement.

Well, no matter.

Everyone's going to know about Ryson soon enough once we've tossed him out of

office.

By the way, I need your support on that.

Please. You know I'd never support that.

Yeah, I do. But I thought you might reconsider.

You don't want everyone knowing about your little fling with Michael.

Fallen angel, indeed.

No, that's not going to work.

You already tried that threat once.

But there's a cherry on top.

Four of them, actually. Emily, Gloria, and Hannah.

And, uh, V-V-Veronica.

Oh, I suppose they're not really cherries anymore.

Good old-fashioned orgy, huh?

Who knew Michael was such a love machine, huh?

Shame he couldn't satisfy his appetite.

But let me tell you this.

If you don't want your little harem paraded out in front of the Senate

because they'd love to testify, you will do exactly what I tell you.

So to you newcomers of the church, what I repeat is this. Our trust offered

to a savior.

Our devotion, a secret vow we promise.

Our secret prayers shared in his confidence.

May the Chosen One protect you all.

May the Chosen One protect us all.

Thank you.

Thank you. That's very kind of you.

How could you preach this heresy? I thought I told you never to approach me

in public.

Get out of here.

All this talk about vows. Have you forgotten your own to Gabriel?

This is my vow to Gabriel.

To be his eyes and ears in Vega.

And you're putting all of us in danger.

If you ever dare question me again.

William?

Go.

Claire!

What a pleasant surprise.

Yeah. Oh, so who is that?

Or just some poor ragged soul questioning his faith. I was just about

to come and find you.

I started to hear about your father, his heart. I had no idea.

Yeah, actually, that's... That's why I wanted to come and talk to you.

Um... There are people who are trying to use his condition against

him to make him step down as lord of the city.

Of course.

I... I guess I wished it would be beneath him.

I'm sorry. No, you don't have to be.

I need to convince your father to stop doing what he's doing.

Is there anything that you can tell me about your dad that might help me?

You're trying to blackmail my father.

Yes.

I'm sorry, I... You must think I'm horrible.

No, no, I don't.

I think you're a good daughter.

Look, I'll go home and talk to him tonight before the party.

I'll tell him to back off.

I can be pretty convincing when I want to be.

That's not why I'm here.

You said that I should go find a good man.

A man that I could have a normal life with.

And what we have together has to end.

Are you alright?

Yes.

I can't see you anymore.

It's for the best.

Is that all you have to say?

I don't know what you mean.

Goodbye, Michael.

For who?

Who do you think?

Autumn breeze goes with your eyes.

Uh, I don't think so.

Alex.

Hey, are you okay?

Fine.

Yeah, you don't look fine.

Hey.

This perfect reason.

Alex.

Alex, I'm sorry.

No, I'd leave it alone.

What are you guys doing?

There was an eight-ball attack in the city yesterday.

A shopkeeper found his body in a garbage bin. Yeah, I heard his head was found

facing his back. Yeah, and the troops just went out to search for it. They got

this. They're going to need our help.

I'm not going to sit around if an angel's inside the walls, wait for it to

kill again.

I'm not sure it's a good idea for you to go out in the state of mind, Alex.

Claire?

Edward, I... Get out of Claire's room.

I know that you're angry, but I wanted to leave her a gift, just a little gift.

Not another word.

You murdered that man in the market.

He was going to kill me.

You stay away from my daughter.

You don't have no love.

And when you're dead, no one can stop me from coming back here.

I thought that this day might come eventually.

What day?

The day when you asked me advice about your wedding night.

And how to tame your little filly.

Better have a drink.

I came to talk about General Rison.

All right.

Bullying him out of office.

Is that really necessary?

Necessary? No.

Expedient, yes.

Opportunity knocks, William.

The man's dying.

And it won't be long before Claire and I control the city.

Just like you want.

She's finally starting to warm up. She... Trusts me.

I'm doing what's best for Vega.

Don't talk to me like I'm the Senate.

You're doing what's best for yourself.

And no one else.

Especially not me.

I'm doing what's best for the family.

Our family.

What's left of it anyway.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Telling me how to do my job. That isn't what I mean. Yes, it is.

You think you could do better?

Well, let me tell you something, Sonny. When you're made Lord of the City,

you're going to need my help.

You're going to need me to hold your hand all the way, just like you always

have.

You know it.

I know it.

And Claire knows it.

He's playing you like a fiddle.

You are nothing without me.

You're wrong.

What I've sacrificed for you would make your blood run cold.

If you had any.

You owe me, boy.

Because of you, father.

They still haven't found the eight ball.

It's time I joined the hunt.

I want you to cancel the search right now.

What?

Tell them it's a false alarm.

I need you to handle this yourself.

It's classified.

Nobody in the city can know, not even the Senate.

I don't want there to be panic, especially not tonight.

She must mean a great deal to you.

Even you.

More of what goes on in this city than you'd imagine.

What must you think?

You love her.

I did.

Once.

Now... It's all my outdoing.

I'll capture her safely.

No, no, look, this... This needs to end.

I need her taken down.

But you said you loved her.

Please go away.

Alex, you heard the radio. They called up the search.

Let's go grab a beer.

No, my son was killed.

Look, Alex, it's like a wall's up around you and I'm on the outside.

What aren't you telling me? Nothing.

Nothing. You know what? It's not like you haven't shut me out before.

Yeah, not like this.

Oh, yeah, you have.

A week after you came back from the desert, during basic.

Alex, you didn't want to go there.

You went away for maneuvers.

You came back.

All of a sudden, I was a stranger. Forget I ever brought it up, okay?

You know, I still don't know what the hell happened.

Finch found out about us, okay?

Someone's lab.

I don't know who.

He was gonna toss you from the core, and I couldn't let that happen.

Why didn't you tell me?

The Corps was the only family that you had.

Couldn't let you lose that because of me.

So I told Finch that I'd end it.

And I did.

You thought the Corps was more important to me than you?

You met Claire right after, so it all worked out.

Lanham just Easter there you check it out Alex

It's still inside these walls.

My mom used to have them.

Really sweet smell.

Very much like tuberoses.

Yeah, it's really nice.

But why didn't she want to meet up in the stratosphere as usual?

Because, Emily, you're no longer welcome there. You all have to leave Vega. I'm

arranging a transport to Helena.

What? Why?

Our nights with the Archangel are over.

And if anyone should ever ask you, they never happened.

It's an engagement party, General.

What is with the high security?

Need I remind you we're at war?

No. They're here to make sure that doesn't spoil a momentous evening.

Welcome, William. Congratulations.

Thank you, General.

Where's Cliff?

Yeah, where is the blushing bride?

Hello?

I'm sorry, Miss Rison, but, uh... There's a rumor Consul Wheel turned one

of his maids into lion chow for stealing his silverware.

Don't worry. No one's turning you into lion chow just yet. I'm not stealing

silver.

William left his speech up here somewhere, so, you know, I said I'd get

it for him.

You sure don't want me to take care of this?

You're gonna miss your party.

Those little tiny snacks.

Usually better than the entree.

Probably almost all gone by now.

Where have you been? I'm sorry I'm late. I had to rush across town to fix my

dress. Don't be angry.

Everything is going to be okay now, Dad.

An engagement party without the bride?

We miss you.

Some entrance, Lady Horizon.

Are everyone this way?

Dinner is served.

I'll be along in a moment.

Go.

Shall we, David?

They say chivalry is death.

My goodness, it truly shines.

Yes.

I'll never do it justice, but I hope you're pleased.

Very.

I wanted to thank you for telling me about the Senate vote and Romero.

You understand there's nothing personal against your father. I'm just a patriot.

Yes, and so am I, which is why I feel the people deserve to know that one of

their trusted dignitaries, a pillar of the community, is secretly working for

Gabriel.

What?

You can't be serious. Who?

You, patriot Mike.

ass.

Everyone knows you're a snake.

I really never thought that you would betray your own.

This isn't mine.

Oh, frame me?

Really? You're better than that, Claire. Oh, please, David. Nobody's framing you.

I found it in your study.

Nonsense. You have a shred of proof to put this in my home. Happy birthday,

Daddy, from your three little ducklings.

And table by the fireplace.

No one is going to believe this.

Nonsense. I'm a consul. And I'm the future lady of the city.

You said it yourself, David.

The people worship me. They believe every word I say.

So if you go after my father with Romero, I swear I will expose you for

the filthy traitor that you are. You and I both know that this isn't mine.

Father?

Are you guys coming? Yes, of course.

Shall we, David?

and put it away.

Thank you.

Milma, cover the exit.

You deserve to die.

There's only darkness.

I'm afraid.

So afraid.

You creatures.

You damned good people for that darkness.

My friend. My father! No!

I didn't fight Gabriel's war.

That body.

That's not your body. That's some woman. Some innocent woman. You killed her.

I was wrong.

Claire would like to say a few words.

Thank you all for being here tonight.

William and I, we are honored that you would join us to celebrate Vegas' bright

future and, of course, the union of two of its founding families.

There is one person who isn't here at the table tonight, someone who I

wish with all my heart could have lived to see this day.

To my mother.
