1
00:00:01,550 --> 00:00:05,620
Was it Your Grace who sent
Scarlett to the scaffold?
2
00:00:06,340 --> 00:00:08,390
What makes you think so?
3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,870
The conclusive evidence
in Cecilia's attempted assassination
4
00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:16,690
was the bottle of poison
found in Scarlett's chambers.
5
00:00:17,470 --> 00:00:21,680
Someone snuck through a duke's house
and planted that in his daughter's room.
6
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:25,700
Only one person could do that
without leaving a trace,
7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,670
and that person is you.
8
00:00:30,260 --> 00:00:33,910
You arranged Scarlett's execution.
9
00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:09,490
Strangely, he and I came
into the world on the same day.
10
00:02:10,180 --> 00:02:14,690
Yes, I'm so capable that
I surprise even myself,
11
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,790
but I still wish to serve you.
12
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:20,750
So take pride, Ern.
13
00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:24,210
Dolphy, you can't be serious.
14
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,270
Remarry? Me?
15
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:31,770
The Republic of Soldita is begging me
16
00:02:31,770 --> 00:02:35,550
to take a descendant
of Cornelia Faris off their hands.
17
00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:41,910
I can't trust a lineage that dangerous
to just any noble house.
18
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,530
So, well, you're my only real option.
19
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,470
Honestly... The things I do for you.
20
00:02:56,570 --> 00:02:58,910
I am Aliénore Shibola.
21
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,590
My bride from across the sea
was the very picture of a good wife.
22
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:12,580
Her singular shortcoming
was her frail constitution.
23
00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:18,350
However, it wasn't long
before we had Scarlett.
24
00:03:19,010 --> 00:03:21,130
I couldn't help it.
25
00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:24,440
It was out of my hands, I tell you!
26
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,450
Coochie coochie coo.
27
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:28,710
What a beauty you are!
28
00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:31,700
And you don't cry at the sight of me!
29
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:35,810
Dylan, don't hold her too long.
What if your stupidity rubs off on her?
30
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:37,210
Hey!
31
00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:41,090
Did you hear that, sire?!
Wasn't that uncalled for?!
32
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:44,730
Yes, I heard it, and I share his concern.
33
00:03:44,730 --> 00:03:47,300
You'd better hand
dear little Scarlett back to me.
34
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:49,220
What do I do? I'm surrounded by enemies!
35
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:56,720
Looking back, those might
have been the final days
36
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,830
we'd laugh together in blissful ignorance.
37
00:04:01,930 --> 00:04:05,510
Word has it a strange hallucinogen
has been circulating recently.
38
00:04:05,510 --> 00:04:06,610
A drug?!
39
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:10,810
It's chiefly popular
among young aristocrats,
40
00:04:11,310 --> 00:04:13,880
which makes me wonder
how they're getting it.
41
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,090
Only prominent nobles have the stuff.
42
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,630
And what is this hallucinogen called?
43
00:04:20,630 --> 00:04:22,760
Jackal's Paradise.
44
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,340
At the time, it seemed a trivial matter.
45
00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:31,170
But one day, some months later...
46
00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:34,440
Dylan's been jailed for treason?!
47
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:39,450
Yes. Given the circumstances,
I doubt he can avoid the headsman.
48
00:04:40,090 --> 00:04:41,910
That's preposterous!
49
00:04:41,910 --> 00:04:44,190
Naturally, Dylan would never turn traitor.
50
00:04:44,730 --> 00:04:47,180
Someone framed him.
51
00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:49,130
And their goal is...
52
00:04:50,170 --> 00:04:52,580
You don't mean... war?
53
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,580
It's Faris. They've secretly
been pulling the strings.
54
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,160
"The Holy Grail of Eris"?
55
00:05:01,210 --> 00:05:06,740
Dylan is a pillar of our border defense.
They'll invade once he's dead.
56
00:05:07,220 --> 00:05:11,240
Then Dylan was sentenced
to death so quickly because...
57
00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:15,350
Yes. We have rats in our midst.
58
00:05:16,290 --> 00:05:22,000
Could Daeg Gallus be using
the drug to secure funds?
59
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,460
Given its popularity
with the upper nobility,
60
00:05:25,460 --> 00:05:28,980
they almost certainly mean
to erode our nation from within.
61
00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:33,530
And amid it all,
one man has seen a meteoric rise.
62
00:05:34,990 --> 00:05:36,990
Simon Darkian!
63
00:05:38,410 --> 00:05:40,570
Question him at once!
64
00:05:40,570 --> 00:05:43,610
He'd only plead ignorance.
65
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:45,800
We have no proof.
66
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,760
What a disaster!
67
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:56,090
Is the poisoning accusation against
Scarlett part of their plan as well?
68
00:05:56,420 --> 00:05:59,040
No, that must be coincidence.
69
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,100
They have no motive to harm Scarlett.
70
00:06:02,380 --> 00:06:07,770
That's true...
They want her on the throne.
71
00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:12,970
That means without Scarlett,
their plan falls apart.
72
00:06:12,970 --> 00:06:14,330
In which case...
73
00:06:21,550 --> 00:06:24,340
What am I thinking?!
74
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:34,970
Sire, I suggest we make use of Scarlett.
75
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:42,670
Their plan requires a pawn possessing
the blood of the old imperial family.
76
00:06:43,260 --> 00:06:48,290
Executing Scarlett will buy us a way out.
77
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:54,240
It will stall them and sow the sentiment
that public executions are barbaric.
78
00:06:54,830 --> 00:06:58,890
I'll task Kimberly Smith of the Violet
Association with leading the outcry.
79
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:03,280
That will allow us
to delay Dylan's execution.
80
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:05,000
Wait, wait, wait.
81
00:07:05,390 --> 00:07:08,670
In the meantime, I will gather
proof of his innocence.
82
00:07:08,670 --> 00:07:10,260
Wait, Dolphy!
83
00:07:10,260 --> 00:07:11,250
Your Majesty!
84
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,180
Commit the face of every person
who pleads for Scarlett's life to memory.
85
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,010
Their agents will be among them.
86
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:31,520
We'll show them all
that we shall be the ones
87
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:35,250
who will have the last laugh.
88
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:46,080
Supposing that I did engineer
my daughter's execution,
89
00:07:46,540 --> 00:07:49,170
what is that to you?
90
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,870
I'm doing this for her.
91
00:07:52,510 --> 00:07:53,650
"Her"?
92
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,800
May I have your permission to speak?
93
00:07:58,390 --> 00:08:00,680
Yes, of course.
94
00:08:16,630 --> 00:08:18,200
How are you feeling?
95
00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:23,450
If I didn't know any better,
I'd think you were worried about me.
96
00:08:23,450 --> 00:08:27,390
Of course I am. You're my wife.
97
00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:31,770
Listen, dear...
98
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,100
Don't give me that nonsense.
99
00:08:37,340 --> 00:08:42,320
A woman you don't sleep with and only
see to exchange the occasional greeting
100
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,450
isn't what most people would call a wife.
101
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:49,030
You're thinking of a mere acquaintance.
102
00:08:50,580 --> 00:08:53,480
Are you angry?
103
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,740
I'm only asking that you spare me
your foolery, you dunderhead.
104
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:00,430
What do you mean?
105
00:09:00,430 --> 00:09:04,880
Why, you can hardly expect
a young lady to spell it out.
106
00:09:06,260 --> 00:09:09,010
I may be a silly little girl,
107
00:09:09,470 --> 00:09:13,870
yet even I know the blood
in my veins could spark a fire.
108
00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:18,850
But do you expect me
to just grin and bear it?
109
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:23,130
To just accept a life of
being treated like a prisoner?
110
00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:27,260
What is that but a living death?
111
00:09:30,170 --> 00:09:36,010
I think I'd like to be very selfish
and have some harsh words with you.
112
00:09:36,010 --> 00:09:37,200
What?
113
00:09:44,690 --> 00:09:50,310
I believe that when most people say
"harsh words," they do mean words.
114
00:09:50,650 --> 00:09:52,800
Oh, do forgive me.
115
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,670
Back where I come from,
we talk to dunderheads with our fists.
116
00:09:58,670 --> 00:10:01,680
What a lawless place that must be.
117
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:06,040
I've done a lot of thinking
since I came to this country,
118
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,810
and I've decided to live my life
as I please after all.
119
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:16,300
That was our dear Cornelia's dying wish.
120
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,530
It was?
121
00:10:18,530 --> 00:10:20,700
Yes. And so...
122
00:10:21,060 --> 00:10:24,730
If you have a complaint,
tell it to Cornelia Faris.
123
00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:31,700
I...
124
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:33,950
I actually went and did it!
125
00:10:34,770 --> 00:10:37,080
Oh, do forgive me.
126
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,910
But my mother taught me to speak
to dunderheads with my fists.
127
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:49,480
Th-That was, um, a custom from
the homeland of my friend's mother!
128
00:10:49,930 --> 00:10:51,410
Your friend...?
129
00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:55,470
Y-Yes, something about the best way
to deal with dunderheads.
130
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:02,490
Oh, not that I mean to call
Your Grace a dunderhead.
131
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:06,720
What's a little slap?
132
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,410
It hurt a lot worse back then.
133
00:11:11,060 --> 00:11:15,240
So, what else does your friend want?
134
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:19,330
Shall I offer my head, perhaps?
135
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:22,130
P-P-Perish the thought!
136
00:11:22,130 --> 00:11:23,490
Is that so?
137
00:11:23,490 --> 00:11:26,630
If you ever have need of it,
you need only ask.
138
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,390
Does Your Grace...
139
00:11:32,490 --> 00:11:34,210
wish to die?
140
00:11:37,460 --> 00:11:39,390
Oh, that must be it.
141
00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:43,170
I've been longing for death, have I?
142
00:11:46,650 --> 00:11:51,370
I deserve to be punished. Otherwise...
143
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:57,820
She'd be too pitiful for words, robbed
of her life through no fault of her own.
144
00:12:01,570 --> 00:12:02,680
Connie.
145
00:12:09,570 --> 00:12:11,300
If I may...
146
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:18,060
I have never once thought myself pitiful.
147
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,070
Yes, I felt anger and sadness as well.
148
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,420
But I know how awkward
and proud you are, Father.
149
00:12:27,420 --> 00:12:28,840
You couldn't help yourself.
150
00:12:31,150 --> 00:12:34,130
And you've no reason to pity me.
151
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,720
After all, I know...
152
00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:40,830
that I came into this world loved.
153
00:12:43,150 --> 00:12:48,490
Even I know that you loved me, Father.
154
00:13:00,310 --> 00:13:05,130
There's plenty I'd like to say to you,
but as for the rest of my complaints,
155
00:13:05,950 --> 00:13:10,240
I suppose I'll just have to
tell them to Cornelia Faris.
156
00:13:13,210 --> 00:13:14,640
I see.
157
00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:17,780
You must know what that means.
158
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,360
Oh, I know. I know, all right.
159
00:13:24,330 --> 00:13:26,820
Mother was always saying it.
160
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:32,330
Scarlett...
161
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,200
I'll have your casket made of jet.
162
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,180
It's a sacred wood, said to guide souls
to the promised land.
163
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:47,430
And I won't forget a blanket
woven of moonworm cocoons.
164
00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:49,740
I can't have you getting a chill.
165
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:53,790
Remember how often you caught colds
when you were little?
166
00:13:53,790 --> 00:13:57,310
You grew feverish so quickly,
I couldn't take my eyes off you.
167
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,010
I know. Why don't I add
lovely engravings to your casket?
168
00:14:03,590 --> 00:14:07,560
You never would settle
for less than the best.
169
00:14:08,910 --> 00:14:12,980
Really, you were always so willful and...
170
00:14:18,580 --> 00:14:23,520
Had there been any other way,
I would've given anything for it!
171
00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:28,400
I would have given my own life
many times over!
172
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:34,830
If only I'd told you even once
that I loved you!
173
00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:57,390
Please, do your best for her.
174
00:14:59,630 --> 00:15:02,930
Simon Darkian is with Daeg Gallus?
175
00:15:03,430 --> 00:15:07,140
Cecilia recently purchased
the Saint Nicholas Hospital.
176
00:15:07,770 --> 00:15:13,360
When Campbell owned it, tax inspectors
gave even blank books a pass.
177
00:15:13,950 --> 00:15:18,450
You don't mean Simon Darkian was
in charge of those inspections, do you?
178
00:15:18,450 --> 00:15:20,220
I mean just that.
179
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,820
A man named Edmond Park,
who did the hospital's accounting,
180
00:15:24,820 --> 00:15:26,660
was found murdered.
181
00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:28,670
To silence him, most likely.
182
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,710
Meaning they kept secret books.
183
00:15:31,710 --> 00:15:36,090
We may be able to round up
the whole gang if we can locate them.
184
00:15:36,740 --> 00:15:38,570
I entrust the matter to you.
185
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:39,350
Yes, sir.
186
00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:44,360
On that note...
I heard Simon Ulster passed.
187
00:15:45,270 --> 00:15:48,660
My condolences. When is the funeral?
188
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:52,040
Today. Only for close family.
189
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:55,110
Will you be going alone?
190
00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:56,510
Yes. Why?
191
00:15:59,620 --> 00:16:03,360
I can't say much has changed on our end.
192
00:16:04,730 --> 00:16:08,690
SECOND PRINCE OF FARIS
RODERICK
193
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:08,850
Second Prince Roderick is still
avoiding public appearances.
194
00:16:09,150 --> 00:16:13,110
THIRD PRINCESS OF FARIS
ALEXANDRA
195
00:16:08,850 --> 00:16:12,970
Third Princess Alexandra
is still locked in the tower
196
00:16:12,970 --> 00:16:14,650
and on track to be burned.
197
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:23,000
FOURTH PRINCE OF FARIS
THEOPHILIS
198
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:20,230
And Fourth Prince Theophilis
is already acting like he's king.
199
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:24,390
I hear his followers have even
picked a date for the coronation.
200
00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:28,170
Then the one behind
the Holy Grail of Eris must be...
201
00:16:28,170 --> 00:16:32,400
Indeed, Fourth Prince Theophilis
seems the obvious suspect.
202
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,780
Why, Connie!
203
00:16:35,070 --> 00:16:36,390
Mylene.
204
00:16:36,390 --> 00:16:37,530
Who are these ladies?
205
00:16:39,330 --> 00:16:41,530
We were just leaving.
206
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Mylene, how is your work?
207
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:51,090
I'm writing articles to sell to the papers
on my way to becoming a real reporter.
208
00:16:51,090 --> 00:16:54,680
My latest is on the suspicious death
of Edmond Park.
209
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,640
Who's Edmond Park?
210
00:16:57,010 --> 00:17:00,620
The head of an accounting firm.
He was found murdered.
211
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:03,560
It appears to have been
a work-related vendetta.
212
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,680
His clients included the Raven Trading
Company and Saint Nicholas Hospital.
213
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,680
Did she say Saint Nicholas Hospital?
214
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:18,310
Say, Mylene, isn't Saint Nicholas
the hospital Earl Campbell used to run?
215
00:17:18,310 --> 00:17:20,620
I see you know all about it!
216
00:17:20,620 --> 00:17:26,330
Just between us, I hear Edmond Park
and Earl Campbell were gambling buddies.
217
00:17:26,650 --> 00:17:31,330
And it seems one gambling den
in particular was his favorite.
218
00:17:31,330 --> 00:17:36,350
It's under a restaurant called
The Goat's Hoof.
219
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:41,590
What are you waiting for?
220
00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:45,070
How did I get myself into this?
221
00:17:45,070 --> 00:17:47,500
What are you doing in a place like this?
222
00:17:49,130 --> 00:17:52,860
Dear me. It's Kimberly Smith
of the Violet Association.
223
00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:54,990
She's not wearing pink?!
224
00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:02,060
Your order?
225
00:18:02,060 --> 00:18:03,740
Meat on the bone.
226
00:18:03,740 --> 00:18:07,280
The kind where top and bottom
add up to seven.
227
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:10,330
So that's what you're here for.
228
00:18:10,330 --> 00:18:12,880
Sorry, downstairs isn't open yet.
229
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,630
Oh, what a shame.
230
00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:18,880
But I'm only here to pick up
something for Ed today.
231
00:18:19,660 --> 00:18:20,720
This way.
232
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:33,330
I assume you're here
about the Edmond Park case.
233
00:18:33,330 --> 00:18:35,020
Who told you?
234
00:18:35,020 --> 00:18:37,600
A friend. She wants to be a reporter.
235
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,690
My. She has promise.
236
00:18:40,110 --> 00:18:43,940
Aren't you engaged to Randolph Ulster?
237
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,780
Do you know who the Ulsters are?
238
00:18:49,070 --> 00:18:51,830
"Ulster" isn't merely a surname.
239
00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:56,310
It's also a title for agents who
dispose of the royal family's enemies.
240
00:18:57,310 --> 00:18:58,830
Agents?
241
00:18:59,170 --> 00:19:05,770
Randolph serves in the military now,
but the late Simon Ulster trained him,
242
00:19:05,770 --> 00:19:08,570
even though the duty
has long since become a formality.
243
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,600
E-Excuse me, but why tell me this?
244
00:19:15,060 --> 00:19:17,360
Good question. I also—
245
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,120
Here.
246
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:24,380
This is it. Some kind of secret
accounting ledger, I hear.
247
00:19:24,380 --> 00:19:26,560
Why, thank you.
248
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,380
Aren't those people...
249
00:19:36,380 --> 00:19:40,380
They really must not want us
reading that secret ledger.
250
00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:45,140
Keep your eyes on me.
Put it in your purse.
251
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,930
This is all the help I can give you.
252
00:19:49,930 --> 00:19:52,410
Go out the back door. Hurry now.
253
00:19:52,410 --> 00:19:54,960
But what about you?
254
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:58,800
I don't need deadweight.
255
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,400
I was trained by Simon Ulster as well.
256
00:20:08,410 --> 00:20:12,070
He should be at Simon's funeral now.
257
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,140
Take good care of Junior.
258
00:20:30,150 --> 00:20:32,680
That's not what you should be doing.
259
00:20:34,170 --> 00:20:35,690
Right.
260
00:20:55,610 --> 00:20:57,030
Miss Grail?
261
00:20:57,820 --> 00:20:59,980
I saw it was raining.
262
00:21:03,890 --> 00:21:05,430
What brings you here?
263
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:10,090
Well, the thing is,
Kimberly left this in my care.
264
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,250
How many times must I tell you
not to act on your own?
265
00:21:18,250 --> 00:21:19,850
I-I'm sorry.
266
00:21:20,270 --> 00:21:22,500
But Your Lordship was alone too.
267
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,110
So won't you call us even for today?
268
00:21:29,860 --> 00:21:31,630
Don't I unnerve you?
269
00:21:32,180 --> 00:21:33,360
Pardon?
270
00:21:33,670 --> 00:21:37,500
My parents, my brother,
Lily, my granduncle...
271
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,990
People close to me keep dying.
272
00:21:41,630 --> 00:21:46,230
Don't you think I really am
like Death himself?
273
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,270
Your fiancée...
274
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,550
lost her last betrothed to another woman,
made a spectacle of herself at a ball,
275
00:21:56,970 --> 00:21:59,820
gets mixed up in one criminal
incident after another,
276
00:22:00,630 --> 00:22:04,650
and, worst of all, she's haunted
by the wickedest woman of the age.
277
00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:07,580
Doesn't that unnerve you?
278
00:22:11,820 --> 00:22:14,550
Let's leave together, Your Lordship.
279
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:15,970
Yes.
