The story so far
Everything you need before watchingKevin is on the run after Scarlet's coronation collapsed. He sprints through the London Underground while speakers bark mind the gap, then stumbles onto the Queen telling dentist jokes to a pack of Minions. She introduces him as the little fellow who stole her monarchy, and teases whether that theft is working out. News confirms the crowning has gone terribly wrong. Then Scarlet appears with Bob and Stuart in her grip: be back by dawn, or she kills them.
