E174 | LIFT, Kevin Hart's becomes a renowned international Thief.
Cyrus, a renowned international thief, leads a heist crew of inside man Denton, pilot Camila, hacker Mi-Sun, safecracker Magnus and engineer Luke. They undertake two simultaneous thefts, stealing a Van Gogh painting in London whilst staging the fake kidnapping of renowned NFT artist N8 in Venice. However, Interpol agent Abby Gladwell, a former fling of Cyrus, uncovers evidence implicating Denton, Luke and Magnus in the thefts. Rather than proceed with charges against the crew, Abby’s superior, Commander Huxley, leverages their legal predicament to force them to help capture banker and terrorist mastermind Lars Jorgenson. As part of the deal, Cyrus insists Abby join the team, to provide certain cover by Interpol. Jorgenson is working with the hacking group Leviathan to stage a terrorist attack in Europe, allowing him to make billions in profit by stock manipulation. As Leviathan require payment in gold bullion, Jorgenson has arranged for a shipment of gold to be taken from his vault in London and flown to Leviathan’s bank in Zurich via a commercial airliner. The crew determine they will only be able to steal the gold while the airliner is in mid-air. To do so, they procure a private jet that Camila will fly directly underneath the airliner, allowing Mi-Sun to switch the radar signals to make it seem like the plane is still on course whilst the crew divert it to a private airfield. After Magnus cracks the safe and Jorgenson's henchmen are incapacitated, the crew will extract the gold via the jet. Their timings are complicated when Jorgenson executes a mole in his organisation and moves up the delivery date. Nevertheless, the crew are ready in time. After successfully diverting the plane, Jorgenson’s henchmen attempt a hijack, resulting in the plane crash landing. Magnus, Abby, Cyrus and Camila are captured. Magnus escapes on the ground, whilst the remaining three are taken aboard the jet with the gold, headed for Jorgenson’s estate in Tuscany. Desperate for the gold to not reach Jorgenson, Huxley orders the plane shot down by NATO. Harry, the crew’s contact at air traffic control, works with Camila to get a message to the pilots that there are hostages on board, forcing them to stand down. Another fight between the crew and Jorgenson’s henchmen results in the jet crash landing on the grounds of Jorgenson’s villa. Abby, Cyrus and Camila are captured at gunpoint by Jorgenson, who also executes Leviathan’s representative after they threaten him. The Carabinieri arrive, and Cyrus uses N8’s NFT technology to show them a recording of Jorgenson murdering the representative. Jorgenson is arrested, whilst Abby punches Huxley upon learning he authorised the NATO jets. She resigns from Interpol and joins Cyrus. Weeks later, Cyrus reveals to Abby that the crew also subtly stole the gold shipment during the heist on the airliner, replacing the actual shipment with iron bars painted gold. Together, the crew recover their haul and celebrate their success whilst Cyrus and Abby rekindle their relationship.

E172 | REBEL MOON : part one - a child of fire
Rebel moon : part one, a child of fire In a distant galaxy, the Motherworld is a militaristic empire fueled by centuries of conquest and war, through Imperium soldiers, the Motherworld's infantry. The current king welcomes a daughter, Princess Issa, who possesses a rare gift of healing and resurrection. This is taken as a sign of redemption for the Motherworld, as the royal family has grown weary of conflict and hopes that Issa will unify the empire not through force but through compassion. Instead, Issa and her parents are publicly assassinated during her coronation, and Balisarius, a prominent senator, declares himself Regent and renews the empire's conquests with the support of Admiral Atticus Noble, a sadistic military leader. On the independent planet of Veldt, Noble and his men arrive and insist that Father Sindri, a local village chieftain, sell them grain to replenish their food stocks as they hunt for a band of rebels known as Clan Bloodaxe. An ambitious farmer named Gunnar disagrees with Sindri's refusal to deal with Noble; the Admiral then beats Sindri to death and orders Gunnar to prepare all of the village's grain before he returns in ten weeks. One of the villagers, Kora, packs her things to leave, but when she sees Imperium soldiers attempting to rape a young woman named Sam, she confronts and kills them, along with Private Aris, an Imperium soldier who is disheartened by the practices of his superiors. Kora tells the villagers that Noble will massacre the village once he returns and gets what he wants. She recruits Gunnar, who has a source that can reach the Bloodaxe clan, so that they can recruit them for their cause of fighting Noble. During their journey, she reveals to Gunnar that she was a former soldier of the Imperium, who was taken and brought up by Balisarius, after he destroyed her family and home planet. After graduating from the Imperium Academy, she helped win many battles and conquests for the Motherworld. The next day, Kora and Gunnar depart for the Port City of Providence, a nearby port town, to assemble a band of warriors and defend Veldt against Noble's fleet. They first recruit Kai, a smuggler and criminal. He takes them to two additional warriors, a tamer of beasts known as Tarak and a talented cyborg swordswoman, Nemesis. Kora ventures to a remote moon to recruit Titus, a disgraced Imperium commander reduced to prize fighting. Gunnar learns from Kora that she feels a sense of guilt for Issa's death as she once served as the princess's bodyguard. Knowing that they cannot defend against Noble's ship, the King's Gaze, the warriors use Gunnar's previous dealings with Clan Bloodaxe to meet their leaders, siblings Darrian and Devra, and request the use of their starfighters. Darrian and half the clan agree to help, but Devra, who considers such a fight hopeless and a waste of their resources, retreats with the other half to safety. Under the pretense of offloading the last of his illicit goods to start a new life, Kai takes the group to a trading post, but captures them as Noble's ship arrives, revealing he had always intended to betray them for the bounties on their heads. Noble reveals Kora's true name as Arthelais. Gunnar kills Kai and frees the group, and Darrian and many of his troops are killed. Kora fights Noble, throwing him off the post's high platform, and the surviving warriors make their way back to Veldt together. Heavily injured but alive, Noble is recovered by Motherworld forces and revived after having a psychic conversation with Balisarius, who demands that Noble end the insurgency against him and bring Kora to him alive so he can execute her himself.
