An armed abduction opens the episode when assailants threaten to kill a captive if she refuses to go. Meanwhile, Maxim calls Lord Noctis to arrange interference at tomorrow’s Llyod Group board meeting. By evening the Midnight Order — three thousand warriors — surrounds the building. Staff beg Ms. Llyod to flee, but she refuses, saying she called the meeting and won't abandon it. Her underestimation clashes with Morgan's cold orders to "kill them without mercy." The assault tightens as an assailant declares, "No one walks out of here today unless I allow it!"
