She's late.
Sorry for the wait!
We're off, then!
Uh, right... Good luck!
Sorry about that.
Let's go then. Jack the Ripper is def—
Stop right there.
You need to put on a show of appearing relaxed.
We're the decoy, after all.
I'll try.
Ame no shizuku mitai mayoinagara ochiteyuku
Like drops of rain we fall blindly
Sorezore no omoi eranda michi he
Down the path of life we each chose
Hora mou sugu kuroi yoake ga kuru kara
Look, the black dawn will soon rise
Dakishimeta yume no kakera ga itai yo
Shards of the dream I followed pierce me
Shinjiru koto nise okubyou ni natta
I pretended to believe to cover my cowardice
Konna sekai de nani wo kizameru no darou
I wonder what can I find in this world
Tameshitai
I'll give it a try
Ikutsumo no boku wo koete umareta yo
I stand on the backs of countless past mes
Shinjiru koto de shika tsuyoku narenai
Believing is the only way for me to get stronger
Konna sekai de nani wo kizameru no darou
I wonder what can I find in this world
Bokutachi no ima
This moment together
Remember, Sieg.
We're the decoy.
If Assassin doesn't sense any Servants nearby, they'll use that opportunity to attack people.
As a homunculus, I figure Assassin won't be able to resist me.
I'm only possessing this body, so if I hide my magical energy, I should be registered as regular human.
When Assassin attacks, we hold them up
and then deal with them together with the other Servants of Black.
And if worst comes to worst...
If worst comes to worst, you run.
I'll protect you.
I know. But are the two of you going to be fine?
The two of us?
Could it be you're worried for Leticia?
Uh, yes. She's...
So am I.
But she wanted this.
She did?
Yes. She's been watching you.
I think she cares for you.
I see.
Is there something else troubling you?
I was wondering about the Master of Assassin.
Rikudo Reika?
We think she was intended as sacrifice by the original Master.
Yet somehow she ended up like Assassin, a serial killer.
Assassin might be forcing her. In which case...
Right. Then there may still be hope.
Mom, you're really good at the piano!
I learned how to play a long, long time ago.
What's this song called?
Traumerei.
Huh?
It means "dream".
Dream?
This all is like a dream for me.
It's like one big dream since you saved me.
It's like a dream for us too to be with you!
In the end it might really turn out to be a dream.
But it's a very nice dream!
Yeah. I wish it never ended.
Never, ever.
Look! Souvenirs!
Let's take a look! Come!
I-Is something wrong?
What am I supposed to do?
Ruler?
I've been thinking about what would be fun for you since I woke up,
but I couldn't come up with anything.
How is fun related to being a decoy?
If Assassin sees us having fun, they might become careless!
I see. That makes sense.
Not to mention this is your first time in a town with people.
Right. There are so many humans here.
Much more than us.
This is a great chance to interact with them, then!
Humans seek to spend their lives together instead of in solitude.
Chiron says the reason for that is weakness, loneliness and happiness.
I wonder why loneliness and happiness are reasons to gather.
Is it something a homunculus who lacks emotions can never understand?
It may be that I just can't put it in words.
I want to understand humans.
I owe that to the hero who gave me life.
I want to understand his life.
It will help me find the right way in life.
Those kids were real sweethearts.
They reminded me of my own childhood.
What was it like?
Help at home, pray at church, play outside and get covered in dirt. Then repeat.
Just the usual kid stuff you'd find anywhere.
What is it?
Then is there a chance they might turn into saints like you?
Humans are amazing.
Please stop calling me a saint!
You're being too humble now.
You've grown up a lot.
You worry about others and want to repay your debt.
That wouldn't have occurred to you before, I think.
You might be right.
We're excited to see you grow, but it worries us a little too.
You're worried?
Yes. You're too reckless with your life.
I just...
Did you volunteer to be the decoy because you wanted revenge on Assassin?
I want to avenge my brothers and sisters. Is that wrong?
No.
But to think of others as complete evil and judging them as such is close to impossible.
But—
I sacrificed everything, including my life, for my goal.
In the end, I was burned at the stake.
I have no regrets.
But I also consider it this way:
I gave up being "good" at that point. I accepted that to some, I would be seen as evil.
Hold on. If you call yourself evil, that would make everyone so too.
I believe in the good in people.
I don't get it. But I can tell...
You're trying your best.
I... uh... thank you?
I didn't say anything worthy of gratitude.
It meant a lot to me!
I-It did?
Rider?
What are you doing?
Meditating.
I can't fight Archer of Black without a plan.
I see.
I saw that Atalanta left earlier. Did something happen?
I need her to keep an eye on Trifas.
Perfect. I have a few questions for you.
Go on.
Why do you want to save mankind?
Because I vowed to.
Regardless of race, country or anything else?
Of course.
When did you decide so?
Right before I died. When the shogun had us all slaughtered.
Don't lie to me!
It's not a lie.
Then tell me, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada!
Do you have no hatred for the ones who killed your kin?
I used to hate them. God and men alike. I hated everything.
Not for killing me, though.
I hated mankind for accepting the laws of history.
I hated the broken system where the powerful consume the weak to advance their goals.
I doubt that hatred would ever disappear!
Where is it?
I threw it away, Rider!
For the sake of mankind's salvation, I threw away the hatred for my killers.
I will save them, whoever they are.
No matter what. At all costs.
Rider, do I pass?
Stop wasting your time.
What are you scheming, boy?
How upset would you be if I said I was just bored?
You...
I'm kidding.
Don't you want to know more about the one you're bound to serve?
Oh? So you accept him as your Master?
You seem unhappy.
What?
You were aiming at me while I was talking with him, right?
Just doing the obvious duty of a Servant.
I see that behind all the schemes and intrigue you can be cute too.
Mind your tongue!
Oh, I've gotta watch out.
Filth...
I want to ask you about Amakusa Shiro.
Go ahead.
Didn't he take the Grail because he's certain he can save mankind?
But if he really can, shouldn't you be helping him?
That troubles me.
I'm not sure either.
He might be right.
If his means were right, if there would be no sacrifices,
if mankind's salvation was achieved correctly,
then me stopping him would just be the arrogance of a Heroic Spirit.
Then why are you unsure?
Sieg, I'm a Heroic Spirit.
So is Amakusa Shiro.
We are supposed to be in the shadows.
We aren't supposed to lead people, but lend them a helping hand.
You were betrayed. Don't you hate mankind?
Everyone asks me that. They say I should hate them.
But I can't hate them. Not even the ones who burned me.
Just as you say, I might not be normal.
That's why you protected me despite me being so useless.
Huh?
There was no meaning or gain for you in saving me then.
Both Red and Black could have turned against you there.
You still stood up for me.
You gave me freedom.
That alone is enough to keep me going.
Sieg...
Words are not enough to repay this debt.
I want to use my body to thank you!
Sieg, please choose your words better. Someone might misunderstand.
Huh?
Is this it?
I'm worried.
They said Servants should stay as far as possible, but why?
Rider.
Speaking.
What's up?
Trifas has been surrounded with mist.
On my way!
Fog?
It was clear just a moment ago.
Are you okay? What's wrong?
Take shelter! Immediately!
Ruler, what's going on?
This is Assassin's Noble Phantasm.
Did they cover the whole town in the mist?
Stay with me, Sieg!
Okay.
What is Assassin, Jack the Ripper, after?
Are you okay?
Help me!
You need to get out of here!
My child... Where is...
It's fine. I'll find your child.
So now—
I'll take your word.
Mages are curious creatures.
I shot you in the heart, but you didn't die.
But this should work.
Strasse Gehen!
Or maybe not.
Hold on!
Jack.
They're here.
This is hell.
We are fire. We are rain. We are power.
They're coming!
Maria The Ripper!
How?
Why didn't you die?
Resistance to curses is one of my abilities.
Assassin of Black. You've gone too far.
Did we? We might've.
We're not sure. But it's not over.
Mom and us will get the Grail!
Let him go!
Catch!
Wake up!
A Command Spell?
Archer, how'd it go?
It hit, but I doubt that took them down.
Rider is heading there to track them.
Right.
Mom!
Master! Mom...
Mom!
Jack!
Mom, we have to get away...
I know, I know. I'll carry you.
We're sorry, we failed.
It must hurt if you talk. Stay still.
But what do we do now?
It's fine, Jack. There's a next time.
Always is.
Mom, we want to hear your piano again.
Okay?
Yes. Let's do that.
M-Mom?
Mom!
M-Mom!
I'm fine.
Oh right. I never said thanks.
You saved me. Thank you.
No!
You can't, Mom!
It's like a dream.
No!
This was the happiest time of my life.
No!
Please don't leave me! I don't want to be alone!
Not anymore!
I know. I'm sorry.
Mom! Mom!
I order by my two Command Spells:
you will be fine without me.
Is that Assassin of Black?
Why?
What?
What's this?
Where am I?
Did you come to this world too, mister?
Did you come to this ugly world?
Did you?
