Rory, freshly released and mocked by a wealthy man and onlookers, is provoked until Captain Lewis is ordered to arrest him. As officers move to cuff him, Rory says he has a hidden identity and refuses to back down. He then reveals affiliation with the Divine Order, an undercover crime‑fighting group founded in the capital, and warns that arresting him would violate Article 36 and implicate those who turn a blind eye. His claim disrupts the arrest attempt and leaves Captain Lewis and the crowd uncertain, forcing an immediate choice with legal consequences.
