Alex, Lucia and Jonas make their case in the federal court in Atlanta. They prove Spain has a legitimate interest as the ships were on formal mission for the crown, countering Frank Wild's claim the people aboard have many Anglo-Saxon descendants, one Britton however contacts Alex to plead the Spanish historical interest as his ancestor, the Spanish captain resettled in England, would have wanted. Brilliant research proves Wild's deceit attempt by picking items from the findings inventory, which is superfluous thanks to the FAA-mandatory cargo manifesto, given captured canon markings, so brilliantly even Frank Wild's teen daughter turns against him, feeling manipulated. Over there, Alex and Lucia finally make love, but back home he bitterly finds her aloof again. Alex also speculates which dark forces are acting first against, now for his case.
