LAST YEAR

From 2.17 "Carnal Knowledge", in the clocktower, Angela explained to James and Carter. "The Silence. It's a council of high level crime lords that governs and oversees the world's most powerful criminal organizations. Bratva, Costa Nostra, Yakua, Triads, other mafias. The Silence brings them all together with the seats of the council that rules them."

There were flashes of the assassins attacking James, Carter and Angela, as they fought back and killed them, though James was injured in the side by a knife.

James: (voice over from 2.17 Carnal Knowledge) "So these people are..."

Angela: (voice over from 2.17 Carnal Knowledge) "Some of the most powerful and criminal masterminds there are."

From 2.18 "Age of Dissonance", there were flashes of assassins attacking Angela, and Angela fighting back and killing them all, but getting very injured in the process.

Angela: (voice over from 2.17 Carnal Knowledge) "Considered the ultimate authority of the world and feared and respected by all."

From 2.17 "Carnal Knowledge", in the clocktower, James looked at Angela. "So how powerful are they, truly?"

Angela shrugged. "They have dozens of police forces, politicians and bureaucrats worldwide under their thumbs."

Carter nodded. "Making them virtually above the laws."

Angela gestured around, nodding. "The gentlemen's club, and other clubs like it, are involved, yes, but they're just for rookies within the organization. The Silence is the real deal. They have their own targets at all times, but they never attack unless there's a perfect time. They like to watch their targets every move and see what they're up to, what they're like, before they make a move. They even have a Division of sorts, responsible for operations such as sabotage, espionage and assassination, protecting illegal activities when it comes to rogue managements, doing under the table murder for hire services. Like the car crash with James and Caroline. If it wasn't an accident, I have a feeling that it's tied to the Division branch of the Silence."

Carter looked at Angela. "You never said why they were looking for you either."

"It doesn't matter why they were looking for me," Angela told them. "I know too much about them and they feel threatened by that. Let's leave it at that, shall we?"

Dylan shook his head. "There's got to be more to it than that."

From 2.22 "Southern Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", in the Waldorf Penthouse, Aurora sat at the table with the WDBZ kids. "There was this... catastrophic even that we knew was going to happen because Rain was a great hacker. He found out about a contract someone ordered to blow up a plane, and we tried to stop it, but we couldn't because we never knew who was behind it. But we weren't going to stop looking for answers, especially when it became clear that we were being targeted."

Thyra looked horrified. "This is what you meant by trying to find out if the plane crash my parents in was an accident or not, like with Carter trying to find out about James and Caroline's crash." Aurora nodded. "You really think these people, the Silence, killed my parents?"

"I'm not sure, Thyra," Aurora told her sadly. "That's what I've been trying to figure out."

Hope was stunned. "This is why you didn't want my adoptive parents telling me that I was adopted. This is why you didn't let anyone know that you were my mother. Because you were trying so hard to protect me from this."
