Churchill and his young protégé Will visit a hostile contact named Eleanor to identify a mysterious runic ring. Eleanor holds Churchill at gunpoint due to a past grudge, but Will's historical expertise earns her reluctant cooperation. She warns them that the ring belongs to a dangerous secret organization and demands the artifact as payment for the information.
CHURCHILL: Let me handle this, she and I are old friends. Eleanor...
ELEANOR: ‘And I meant to not pull the trigger, officer.’ Give me a reason not to.
CHURCHILL: Okay, slow down, I meant to call.
ELEANOR: I said a reason not to. Who’s the kid?
CHURCHILL: His name’s Will. Like a brother to me.
