You’re a handsome British knight. You’ve come back from the Crusades, sullen and despondent over the horrors you’ve witnessed. All you want to do is settle down. A local king offers you a plot of land in return for a small favour. His beautiful daughter, Luma (Piper Perabo) has recently disappeared and he’d like you to find her. Reluctantly, you agree. Unfortunately, you come across a dragon’s egg. Intent on destroying this potential monster, you lash out with your sword only to wake up with the princess hovering over you with a club ready to clobber you again. Turns out she wants to hatch it as the dragon may be the last of its kind. The simple rescue has become not so simple, some bad guys show up and want to kidnap the princess and you wonder how things got so out of control. Such is George’s (James Purefoy) story.

What price are you willing to pay when you do what you think is the right thing and everyone else thinks is the wrong thing? Would you take a little girl away from the people who will offer her a loving and loved life? Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck) would. Would you tell the police about the child and take the chance that the love of your life will hate you forever? Patrick Kenzie would and Angie Gennaro (Michelle Monaghan) does. Would you let your client skip payment to you if you send her husband to jail and return her niece to her drug mule party girl of a sister? Patrick Kenzie would. Would you babysit for the child while the newly reunited mom goes on a date with some guy who thought she was cute on TV while beseeching the kidnappers to return her daughter? Patrick Kenzie would rather than hide the truth from the world.

It is always a trial when you want to move up in the pecking order. Gloria Minetti Nesstra (Mary McCormack), in full New Jersey housewife mode—make-up, pushed back Gucci sunglasses, capris—stares down her husband Fluvio (Oliver Platt) who is about to chop off a neighbour’s hand. She’s thinking he stole the sports section even though his wife found it behind the fridge in their 3/4 size house. What’s a guy who has delusions of grandeur to do now?

When I was but a wee lad, I remember being made a promise by my best friend. I don’t recollect the context nor the pledge itself but I do recall being excited that it was important to the two of us. Time passed. The promise went unfulfilled. I made up lots of excuses why it had yet to happen. Finally, I asked about it and my chum had no idea of what I was asking. Crestfallen, I explained and all I received was a smirk for my story and a brain flash that I needed a new best friend. This memory returned when Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards) promised that she would come and get Roger (Ben Walker) for their evening adventure. Unfortunately for Roger, he’s kidnapped, imprisoned and about to be brainwashed. But he’s elated when Lyra wanders through the door of his prison classroom and knows she’s there to get him. And he knows he’ll never leave her.

Everybody has something to hide. Everyone has an opinion on who is to blame for what has gone wrong. Everyone knows who should be doing a better job. They all worry that their future is in jeopardy. None of them seem to have a clue as to what is going on. There seems to be a desperate lack of understanding about why some difficulties befall them. About all they seem to agree upon is that the murder of Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) came about none too soon.
