  Rowan Pope : My empire? Look around you. Thanks to my daughter and her infinite wisdom, I am no longer in a position to protect our Republic.

  Jake Ballard : So this is Liv's fault?

  Rowan Pope : Isn't it?

• Rowan Pope : I don't have to regain my power. Power true power is never lost. And freedom?
