Master jeweler and reformed thief Lucia Frost's carefully constructed world at an exclusive Aspen resort begins to crack when FBI Agent Gabriel Chase arrives for the Christmas season. She recognizes him not only as the agent who almost caught her years ago, but as the mysterious "Adam" with whom she shared an unforgettable night in Monaco. As they circle each other with equal parts suspicion and desire, a daring jewelry heist bearing the mark of Lucia's former crew forces them into a dangerous alliance.
Between heated encounters in her workshop and revelations about a larger conspiracy, Lucia must decide if she can trust the man who hunted her – especially when he makes it clear he's not done pursuing her yet. The episode culminates in a charged dinner invitation that promises to either expose all of her secrets or lead to her complete undoing.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.519
Calarogu Shark Media, Hello and welcome to Romance Weekly. This
2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:20.440
episode is titled Frost and Fire Episode one. Ice and Embers.
3
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.519
Diamonds refract lighted exactly forty two point seven degrees, fire
4
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:35.119
flashes across polished facets. Each flare a signature as unique
5
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.280
as a fingerprint, like desire, like memory, like the way
6
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.520
recognition hits when you see a face you never thought
7
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:46.039
you'd meet again. My name is Lucia Frost, and I've
8
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.799
spent ten years building a life that's as flawless as
9
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.439
the gems I work with. Here at the Summit Ridge
10
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.439
Resort in Aspen, I'm known as the resident jeweler who
11
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.880
creates exquisite pieces for the obscenely wealthy. What they do
12
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.159
I don't know is that I can crack any security
13
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.879
system they installed to protect those same pieces, well, almost anyone.
14
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.200
There was that one FBI agent who almost caught me
15
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:14.640
in Paris. Luke Izzie's voice crackles through my workshop intercom.
16
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.879
The VIP guest list for December just updated. You need
17
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.840
to see this. I set down my loop, letting the
18
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:25.280
two carrot diamond I'm setting catch the morning light outside
19
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.799
my window, fresh snow blankets, the aspen peaks, perfect powder
20
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.159
for the opening of ski season, perfect cover for what's coming.
21
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.519
Send it through, I say, already pulling up my secure terminal.
22
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.959
The list populates Saudi princes, tech billionaires, old money, names
23
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.560
that date back to the Mayflower, and there, making my
24
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.519
blood freeze mid flow. Gabriel Chase. My fingers touched my lips,
25
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.680
involuntarily remembering another name. Those same lips had gasped in
26
00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:02.200
a Monaco hotel room last summer, six months ago. Tell
27
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.560
me your name, he'd murmured against my throat, his hands
28
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.199
sliding under the silk of my gown. The Monte Carlo
29
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.520
Casino hummed beneath us, But up here in his suite
30
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:18.360
nothing existed except heat and want and delicious anonymity. No names,
31
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.639
I'd answered, arching into his touch. That was the deal,
32
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.599
he'd laughed, the sound dark and promising. The deal was
33
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.639
no real names. Give me something to call you while
34
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:33.039
I make you come apart. The thrill of danger my
35
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.840
favorite drug. I'd been in Monaco, casing a mark, not
36
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.080
looking for pleasure, but something about him at the baccarat
37
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.680
table had called to my lover's instinct the same way
38
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.960
a vault called to my thiefs. Call me Eve, I'd whispered,
39
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.439
as his mouth found that spot behind my ear, since
40
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.919
we're both about to sin. His teeth grazed my skin,
41
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:59.680
Eve Biblical. I like it, and you, I'd managed to ask,
42
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.000
as his hands worked magic against silk and flesh? What
43
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:08.280
should I call you? Adam? Another laugh, another kiss might
44
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.000
as well complete the set. What followed was paradise indeed
45
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:25.759
present day, Luke Is His voice pulls me back. Did
46
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.439
you see who's on the list? I see several interesting names.
47
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.280
I keep my voice casual, professional like I'm not remembering
48
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.639
how Adam had tasted, how he'd felt, how he'd made
49
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.039
me forget every rule in my carefully constructed new life.
50
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.520
Look at arrival dates. Gabriel Chase checks in today. He's
51
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.680
booked the Ambassador Suite for the entire Christmas season. Today.
52
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.479
My pulse kicks up. Not just because he's FBI, not
53
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:56.479
just because he's the agent who almost caught me in
54
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:59.159
Paris three years ago, but because if he's really who
55
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.960
I think he is, If Adam and Agent Chase are
56
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.039
the same man, what's his background? I ask, already knowing
57
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.400
private security consultant specializes in high end protection services. His
58
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:16.120
client list reads like a Forbes cover, a cover story,
59
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.480
A good one, almost as good as mine. Any special
60
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.839
requests just one. Izzy's voice carries a smile. He wants
61
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.600
to commission a custom piece asked for you specifically, of
62
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:34.319
course he did. I stand smoothing my cashmere sweater outside.
63
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.560
Fresh snow begins to fall December in Aspen, when the
64
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.000
temperature drops and desire rises, when the wealthy come to
65
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:45.240
play and predators come to hunt. Tell him I have
66
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.800
an opening at four, I say, turning back to my
67
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.040
work bench, to the diamond that holds secrets in its heart,
68
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.000
just like I do in my private workshop. Will do,
69
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.360
oh and luke. The Petrov exhibition pieces arrived. They're in
70
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.120
the main vult waiting for your inspection. My hands still
71
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.720
Viktor Petrov's Christmas Day Jewelry exhibition, ten million in rare gems.
72
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.120
The kind of target that would have made my former
73
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.319
self salivate, the kind of target that attracts hunters. Is
74
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:19.639
that why Gabriels really hear? At exactly four o'clock, my
75
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.360
workshop door opens. I don't turn around, letting him take
76
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.920
in the scene. Me at my bench, diamonds scattered like
77
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.759
stars across black velvet, the sunset, painting fire across fresh
78
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:35.800
snow outside Miss Frost. His voice hits me like aged whiskey,
79
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.879
like sin, like memory. I turn slowly, professional, mask, firmly
80
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:47.439
in place, Agent Chase or do you prefer Adam. He
81
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.600
doesn't flinch at the name, but something flares in those
82
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:57.399
steel gray eyes recognition, heat, danger, Interesting choice of words,
83
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.160
he says, closing the door behind him. The locking gages
84
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.600
with a soft click. I was about to say the
85
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:08.040
same thing, Eve. We study each other across the workshop.
86
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.920
He's exactly as I remember from Monaco, tall, with that
87
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.480
fighter's grace that speaks of hidden strength. His suit is
88
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:20.199
perfectly tailored, probably concealing a shoulder holster. Old habits make
89
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.560
me clock the exits, the weapons within reach, the distance
90
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:28.279
between us. I have to admit. He moves closer, each
91
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.319
step measured when I realized the legendary Lucia Frost was
92
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.480
the same woman who disappeared from my hotel room in Monaco.
93
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.000
His smile is wolf sharp. Well, let's just say some
94
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.079
things started making sense, like what. I turned back to
95
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.959
my work bench, trying to ignore how his proximity sets
96
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.879
my skin humming like a vault about to crack, like ice,
97
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.839
about to shatter, Like how the mysterious jewel thief I
98
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.240
chased through Paris three years ago seemed to know exactly
99
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.839
how to disappear. He's behind me now, close enough that
100
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.040
his breath stirs my hair, the one who left a
101
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.399
diamond in my pocket with a note that said better
102
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:12.160
luck next time, Agent Chase. I remember writing that note,
103
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.600
Remember the thrill of escaping him, Remember thinking I'd never
104
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.959
have to face those piercing eyes. Ancient history, I say,
105
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.399
picking up a loop. I'm reformed, now legitimate. His laugh
106
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.079
is low, dangerous, like that night in Monaco. Are you?
107
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.920
His hand settles on my hip, burning through silken memory,
108
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.600
because I remember how much you love the game, Eve,
109
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.959
how your pulse races when you're about to His lips
110
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:44.160
brush my ear, take something you shouldn't. I turn in
111
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.360
his grasp, letting him feel the diamond laser I've palmed,
112
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:52.639
press it gently against his ribs. Careful, Agent Chase. I'm
113
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.040
not the only one playing games, am I. His other
114
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.879
hand slides into my hair, gripping gently but firmly, testing
115
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:05.839
tasting power. No games, Lutia, not any more then, why
116
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.639
are you here? Instead of answering, he kisses me. Not
117
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.800
the Champagne's sweet kisses from Monaco. This is harder, darker,
118
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.319
full of six months of wondering and wanting, full of
119
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.680
years of chase and escape, full of danger and need.
120
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.920
And the diamond laser clatters to my work bench. As
121
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.759
his kiss deepens. My body remembers this, the way he
122
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.839
takes control, the way he makes me want to surrender it.
123
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.600
His hands slide down my sides, finding the curves they
124
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.080
mapped in Monaco. You never answered my question. I manage
125
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.720
between kisses. Why are you here? You know why? His
126
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.600
mouth traces the path down my throat that's been haunting
127
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.600
my dreams, the Petrov exhibition, ten million in Gems, a
128
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.679
Christmas Day unveiling, and I arch into his touch. Even
129
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.399
as my mind races you think I'm involved. He pulls
130
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.320
back just enough to meet my eyes. I think someone
131
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.600
is someone good enough to get past Summit Ridge's security,
132
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.759
someone who knows jewelry, someone like like the thief you
133
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.840
chased in Paris. I raise an eyebrow, the one who disappeared,
134
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.000
the one who left me more than just a diamond
135
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.559
and a note. His thumb traces my bottom lip, left
136
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:26.080
me obsessed hunting, following a trail that led here. The
137
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.840
heat between us shifts charges with new danger, And now
138
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.840
that you've found me, his smile is sin itself. Now
139
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.840
I need your help with what catching the real thieves.
140
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.159
His hand slides to my neck, feeling my pulse race.
141
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.120
Unless you're working with them already, I laugh, but it
142
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.440
catches in my throat as his other hand finds bare
143
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.519
skin under my sweater. You think i'd tell you if
144
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:54.159
I was. I think his fingers trace patterns on my
145
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.080
lower back, making me shiver That night in Monaco. Wasn't
146
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.600
just chance you were watching me as much as I
147
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:04.679
was watching you. He's right. I had spotted him tailing
148
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.879
me earlier that day, known exactly who he was. The
149
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:12.200
kiss had been impulse, danger, desire. The night that followed
150
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:16.240
had been Monico was a mistake. I lie even as
151
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.639
my hands pull him closer. Was it his mouth hovers
152
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.200
over mine? Then? Why are you trembling? Because you're dangerous?
153
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:32.080
So are you? This kiss is pure fire, like that
154
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.799
first one in the casino, like every kiss that followed
155
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.200
in his suite, like six months of wondering if i'd
156
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:40.679
ever taste him again. His hands grow bolder, reminding me
157
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.600
why I'd broken my own rules that night, why I'd
158
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.639
stayed until dawn, why I'd left before he woke. Terrified
159
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.559
of what he made me feel, Help me, he whispers
160
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.919
against my lips. Someone's targeting your clients, your resort, your
161
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.840
new life. And if I say no. His smile curves
162
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:04.279
against my throat, then I'll have to investigate you. His
163
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:09.919
teeth graze my pulse point very his hand slides lower thoroughly.
164
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.799
A knock at the door freezes us both Luke. Izzie's
165
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.960
voice carries through the wood emergency at the main vault.
166
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:26.159
We need you. Gabriel steps back, straightening his tie. I
167
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.159
smooth my sweater, trying to slow my breathing. Coming. I
168
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.039
call to Izzy, but my eyes stay locked on Gabriel's.
169
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.440
We're not finished, No, he agrees, heat and warning in
170
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:42.840
his voice, We're just getting started. I head for the door,
171
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.720
but his hand catches my wrist. Tonight, he says, softly,
172
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.960
dinner in my sweet We'll discuss the case, just the case.
173
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.039
His thumb strokes my pulse point. What else would we discuss?
174
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:57.000
Eve?
175
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.919
I pull away, grabbing my security back eight o'clock. Don't
176
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:06.759
be late, Adam. As I follow Izzy to the vault,
177
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.039
my skin still burns where he touched me. My lips
178
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:14.000
still taste like danger, and in my mind Monaco replays
179
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:23.720
like a promise or a threat. The main vault sits
180
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.200
three floors below the resort, a titanium fortress wrapped in
181
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:31.519
Swiss engineering. As we descend in the secure elevator, Izzy
182
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:36.080
briefs me the Petrov collection was scheduled for authentication at two.
183
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:40.279
When our team opened the cases, she hands me her tablet.
184
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:46.279
Security footage shows three velvet lined boxes empty. My stomach
185
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.960
drops not because of the missing pieces. I've seen better
186
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.600
thefts executed better thefts, but because of the signature left
187
00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:01.039
behind a single crystal snowflake. The Winters, I breathe, you
188
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.879
know them, I know them intimately, the most notorious jewelry
189
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.480
theft ring in Europe, the family I used to run
190
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.480
with before I went straight before Paris, before Gabriel almost
191
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.200
caught me. By reputation, I say smoothly. They're legends in
192
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:20.679
security circles. The vault door reads my biometrics, swings open
193
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:25.440
on silent hinges inside Victor Petrov paces like a caged bear,
194
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:30.279
his Russian accent thick with rage, Miss Frost. He strides
195
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.639
toward me. They said, you're the best, that you can
196
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:36.480
protect my collection, and now this. I moved to the
197
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.080
empty cases, studying the snowflake through my loop, pure crystal
198
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:43.200
hand carved Alexey's work. He always did have a flare
199
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.120
for signatures. The pieces that were taken. I keep my
200
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:49.600
voice professional. The sapphire pendant, the ruby earrings, and the
201
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:54.919
emerald bracelet. Yes, Petrov's face reddens. Gifts for my wife
202
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:58.840
for Christmas morning, not his wife. I'd helped case those
203
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.240
same pieces two years. They were meant for his mistress,
204
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:06.519
the Prima Ballerina he's keeping in a penthouse in Prague.
205
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:10.080
The vault's temperature control hums keeping the remaining jewels at
206
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.440
optimal stability, like the chill that runs down my spine.
207
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.559
When I realize what this means, the winters are here
208
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.399
in my territory, and they want me to know it.
209
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.919
Mister Petrov, I straighten, already formulating plans. I'll need a
210
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.120
complete inventory. And my phone buzzes a text from an
211
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:36.159
unknown number, missing our little snowflake family dinner on Christmas day.
212
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:40.919
Don't be late. Bring your FBI boyfriend. I delete the message,
213
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.360
but my hands shake slightly. Across the vault. I catch
214
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.720
Gabriel watching me through the security glass. His eyes say
215
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:52.879
he saw everything. Izzy. I turned to my friend. Lock
216
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.720
down the remaining pieces, new protocols, new codes. I want
217
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.240
guards on rotation, no gaps already done. She eyes me carefully.
218
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:04.039
Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost,
219
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.840
several ghosts, all wearing crystal snowflakes. I'm fine. I check
220
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:14.600
my watch. Seven thirty. Back in my suite, I change
221
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.480
for my meeting with Gabriel. The black dress is simple,
222
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:21.759
but devastating, like the best cons, like the deadliest weapons.
223
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.080
At precisely eight o'clock, I knock on his door. He
224
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:29.519
opens it, wearing charcoal slacks and a white shirt, sleeves
225
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:33.000
rolled up to reveal strong forearms, the same arms that
226
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.879
had pinned me to silk sheets in Monaco. Right on time,
227
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:42.600
he says, eyes trailing fire down my dress. I ordered champagne,
228
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:49.360
celebrating something. His smile is knowing dangerous second chances. I
229
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.159
step past him into the suite, catching his familiar scent,
230
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:57.200
cedar leather sin. Is that what this is, that depends.
231
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:01.519
He closes the door, moves behind me. His breath stirs
232
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.559
the hair at my nape. On whether you tell me
233
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.279
the truth about the winters, I turned slowly, meeting his
234
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:13.440
heated gaze. The truth is complicated, then lets uncomplicate it.
235
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.879
His hand slides to my waist, pulling me closer. Over dinner,
236
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:23.080
just dinner. His other hand cups my face, thumb tracing
237
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.559
my bottom lip. That depends too on what on whether
238
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:31.240
you're still running cons His mouth hovers over mine or
239
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:36.320
ready to run something else? Like what? His kiss is
240
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.799
the answer. And as I melt into it, I realize
241
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:43.240
I'm already running the most dangerous con of all. I'm
242
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.480
falling for the man who could destroy everything.
1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.519
2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:20.440
3
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.519
4
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:35.119
5
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.280
6
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.520
7
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:46.039
8
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.799
9
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.439
10
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.439
11
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.880
12
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.159
13
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.879

00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.200

00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:14.640
16
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.879
17
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.840
18
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:25.280
19
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.799

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.159
21
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.519
22
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.959

00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.560
24
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.519

00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.680
