00:00While eating his meal, the prisoner suddenly had a bold idea. Seeing the guard head to the adjacent

00:05cell, he quickly moved his bed. Then, he skillfully pried open the bricks on the wall

00:10and cautiously peered into the opening. At this moment, the warden was inspecting the

00:14prisoner next door and noticed he was lying motionless on his bed. So, he instructed the

00:19guard to lift one of the man's feet, and the warden took a torch and burned it. But the man

00:24still didn't react. The warden had no choice but to give up, remarking that this guy was a really

00:28heavy sleeper. Afterward, the man overheard that there would be a major operation behind the prison,

00:33so the guards wouldn't be doing their rounds for the next month. This was good news, as his tunnel

00:37wasn't completely dug through yet, and his companion had actually been pretending to sleep. All to trick

00:42the guard into revealing information, and sure enough, they got good news. So, they continued

00:47their digging work. Since the prison was built on an island, their goal was to dig towards the sea.

00:52This way, when they escaped, they could completely avoid the guard's sight and swim directly into the

00:57ocean. Although the priest had been digging for 14 years, due to a miscalculation, he had dug in the

01:03wrong direction, forcing them to change direction and start digging again. Together, the two could

01:07dig about half a meter each day, so it would take roughly 10 years. Just as they were discussing how

01:12to deal with the excavated soil, a guard suddenly came to deliver food. The man quickly hid in the

01:17corner. After returning to his own cell, he sat there thinking for a long time and suddenly came up

01:23with a good idea. So, he took his food bowl and told the guard that he had accidentally broken it

01:27and needed a new one. Although this prison never allowed prisoners to go outside, it was somewhat

01:32humane in certain aspects, and the guard immediately brought him a new one. In this way, they had a tool

01:37to handle the soil, but an accident still occurred. One day, as the man was preparing to come over and

01:42dig, the entrance to the tunnel suddenly collapsed. He was pinned under the rocks, and at this moment,

01:48the sleeping priest also heard the noise. He quickly ran in to help, but since the prison walls

01:53were all made of limestone, while he was moving stones to rescue the man, he accidentally inhaled

01:58a large amount of dust. However, he gritted his teeth and pulled the other man out. Fortunately,

02:03the man was not seriously injured. The two who had escaped death simply embraced each other.

02:08After years of getting along, they felt like father and son. Besides digging every day in their spare time,

02:14the priest would impart all the knowledge he had learned to the man without reservation. He knew

02:19that the other man had been framed by a friend and imprisoned. Moreover, after he was imprisoned,

02:24his wife had actually married his friend. The man wanted revenge all the time, so the priest taught

02:29him these things, hoping it would be helpful to him. However, good times didn't last long. One morning,

02:33while the man was eating, he suddenly heard a cry for help from next door. He quickly ran over to check

02:38and found the priest lying on the ground, struggling to breathe, precisely due to inhaling a large amount

02:44of dust yesterday. The man quickly helped him onto the bed. His condition was very bad. It was clear

02:49he wasn't going to make it. The other man seemed to know this too, so he quickly told him to pry open

02:54a broken brick in the corner of the wall and take out a piece of parchment hidden inside. This was a

02:59treasure map, detailing the location of the Count of Monte Cristo's treasure. The priest had been the

03:04steward in his younger years, but unexpectedly, the count had a sudden misfortune, and he himself was

03:10arrested. They were after the Count's treasure, but these people never imagined that the treasure map

03:15was on the steward. Now, he was too weak to keep it safe and only hoped that the man could find it

03:20after he got out. Afterward, the man carefully put away the treasure map and returned to his cell.

03:25The next morning, he suddenly heard the sound of the guard's footsteps. When he peered through the

03:30hole, he discovered that the priest was dead. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Soon after,

03:35the warden ordered the priest's body to be thrown into the sea. After the guards left, the man cautiously

03:41crawled out of the hole. Looking at the other man's body, he couldn't shake off his grief for a long

03:45time. The two had spent nearly seven years together. Although they weren't related by blood, the priest

03:51had always treated him like his own son, but now they were separated by life and death. But the man knew

03:57he had to pull himself together. Looking at the cold body, he suddenly had a bold idea. He quickly

04:02tore open the cotton shroud, took out the body, and then dragged the priest into his own cell,

04:07carefully placing him on the bed. Afterward, the man cut off his own hair and made it into a wig,

04:12which he put on the priest's head. Then, he covered him with the blanket, disguising him as if he were

04:16asleep. Once all this was done, he secretly slipped into the body bag, then took out a needle and thread

04:22and sewed the bag tightly shut. Before long, the guards returned after eating. Without doing any

04:28inspection, they carried the body bag away. The two quickly arrived at the rooftop. To prevent the body

04:33from floating, they tied a large iron ball to it. After doing this, the guards felt confident enough

04:38to carry the bag to the edge of the wall and then throw the body down. After it fell into the sea, the

04:43man quickly took out his homemade dagger, cut open the bag, and climbed out as fast as he could. Every

04:48second now would determine his life or death. Once out, he didn't dare delay for a moment, untied the iron

04:54ball from his body and then swam quickly towards the surface. At this time, the guard on the other

04:59side came to deliver food to the man as usual, only to find him lying motionless on the bed. The guard

05:04thought the man was sleeping in, so he angrily opened the door and went in. But when he lifted the

05:09blanket, he was shocked to find that it wasn't the man lying on the bed, but the priest. He immediately

05:14sensed something was wrong and quickly called the warden. When he saw the body and the scattered hair

05:19on the ground, the warden instantly pieced things together. He hurriedly ordered his men to move the

05:24bed and remove the loose brick. They never would have imagined that these two had dug such a long

05:29tunnel in the dark and desolate cell. By the time they were discovered, it was already too late.

05:34By now, the man had already swum ashore. Although he had successfully escaped from prison, an even more

05:39arduous task awaited him, revenge and finding the Count's treasure. But before seeking revenge,

05:44he had to get rid of his prison uniform. Otherwise, being seen by the authorities would mean certain

05:49death. So, the man quietly ran into a farm. While the owner was out, he conveniently took a few pieces

05:55of clothing that fit him and quickly changed into them. Looking at his own disheveled appearance in

06:00the mirror, he felt even more angry. Fifteen years of imprisonment had turned a handsome young boy

06:05into a haggard, middle-aged man. It was all their fault. The next day, he returned to his hometown

06:10with a new look, intending to see his father whom he hadn't seen for many years. But he unexpectedly

06:16learned from a neighbor that his father had passed away many years ago. Following the neighbor's

06:20directions, he arrived at the church, and soon the cemetery keeper led him to the grave. He learned

06:26from the keeper that his father had died of grief from missing his son. And there, next to his father's

06:31grave, was another tombstone with his own name on it, indicating that he had died ten years before

06:36his father. It turned out that in his enemy's eyes, he was already dead. And more importantly,

06:41they had indirectly caused his father's death. But then, an even more devastating event struck him

06:47like a bolt from the blue. When he arrived at his wife's house with excitement, he learned that she

06:52had not only remarried, but had also moved to Paris. Facing two heavy blows at once, the man was

06:58momentarily unable to accept reality. He wandered aimlessly through the streets and suddenly encountered a

07:03group of guards. He quickly and instinctively hid to the side, knowing that if they discovered his

07:08identity as an escaped convict, the consequences would be unimaginable. Just then, a prisoner being

07:14escorted suddenly turned and ran. A guard, seeing this, hurriedly chased after him, right towards where

07:20the man was hiding. The man watched as the prisoner was tackled to the ground and then brutally beaten.

07:25Having been a prisoner himself, the man couldn't bear to watch. He decisively stepped forward,

07:29knocked down the guard, and then punched him unconscious with two quick blows. He then quickly

07:34used the keys to unlock the prisoner's shackles. The man told him to leave quickly, but the guy kept

07:39following him. Until they encountered more guards again, the two of them, in a moment of quick

07:43thinking, hid inside a nearby carriage. During their conversation, he learned that the other man was

07:48a sailor who specialized in smuggling, which was why the guards were after him. Now his ship was docked

07:53in the harbor, but unfortunately, he didn't know how to sail. Upon hearing this, the man instantly had an

07:59idea. He had once been the captain of a shipping company, and sailing was a piece of cake for him.

08:03Soon, the two arrived at the cargo ship. The other man had a companion, his nephew. Their destination

08:08was Talamone. The man then looked at the dashboard, and after observing the wind direction, he said that

08:14a storm was coming soon, and they needed to quickly seek shelter on the Isle of Monte Cristo,

08:1810 kilometers away. Soon, the three arrived at Monte Cristo. The reason the man had come here was to

08:24find the Count's treasure. He then pretended to go hunting in the mountains, but in reality,

08:28he was surveying the terrain. After reaching the summit, he took out the map given to him by the

08:33priest, and saw that no matter which way he went, the location didn't seem right. It seemed the Count's

08:38treasure wasn't so easy to find. No matter which way he went, he would always end up at the cliff's

08:43edge. Just as he was puzzled, the young sailor came over. He was there to invite the man to continue

08:48their journey, saying that the weather was clear now, and they should seize the opportunity. He had no

08:53choice but to give up for the time being and come back in a few days. Just as he boarded the ship,

08:58he inadvertently glanced at the mountaintop and noticed two huge rocks. There seemed to be a door

09:03beneath the rocks. He quietly memorized the location. Soon, the men landed ashore. They first

09:08had a hearty meal at the harbor, then sang and danced and had a great time. In the evening, the

09:13man thought more and more that something wasn't right. There must be something hidden beneath those

09:18two huge rocks. So, he immediately got on a small boat and returned to Monte Cristo. After searching

09:23for a while, he indeed found a door. After moving the stones above it, an opening appeared before his

09:29eyes. He couldn't wait to crawl inside. The Count's treasure was indeed hidden here. Looking at the many

09:35boxes of gold and jewels on the ground, the man was overjoyed. This wealth would be the key to his

09:41revenge plan. A few days later, the man, now transformed into the Count of Monte Cristo, arrived at the church.

09:47He wanted to confess before God in advance, as his path to revenge would inevitably involve bloodshed.

09:53After confessing, he first had a gift sent to the young sailor, two large ships and three private

09:59residences. He asked the young man to meet him at the Golden Cockatoo Hotel in Marseille. The man's

10:04purpose was simple, to recruit talent. It would be too difficult for him to seek revenge alone. Then,

10:09he had the young man deliver a stack of banknotes to the farmer, stating it was for the clothes.

10:14The farmer was overwhelmed with surprise when he saw the money. It was enough to buy hundreds of

10:20outfits. Soon, the two met again. As soon as they met, the man directly stated that he wanted to

10:25hire him. He explained that he would be doing some things that would involve a certain degree of

10:29danger, but in return, he would receive a considerable income. To make the other man follow

10:34him more wholeheartedly, the man simply told him about his own experiences, how he was wrongfully

10:39imprisoned, and how he escaped. After listening to the story, Arthur decisively agreed,

10:43as the man was, after all, his savior. Subsequently, the two went to the police station

10:49to investigate Villefort, the prosecutor who had framed the man years ago. Unexpectedly,

10:54the prosecutor had now achieved great success and had become the royal prosecutor of Paris.

10:59Upon hearing this, the man was furious. To get to the bottom of the truth, he decided to risk going

11:03to the police archives. He soon arrived at the records room and told the staff that he worked for the

11:07Paris Daily. His editor had asked him to write an article about political prisoners. In his research,

11:12he had come across a prisoner named Edmond Dantes. He had been imprisoned without any trial,

11:17so he wanted to look at his file for inspiration. Upon hearing this, the staff member flatly refused,

11:23stating that it was confidential information and could not be disclosed.

11:27And Monsieur Villefort was wrong.

11:28However, upon hearing the name Villefort, the staff member immediately became nervous

11:33and hurriedly apologized to the man. He said he didn't know the man was with prosecutor Villefort.

11:38In this way, the man successfully obtained the file. After the staff member left,

11:42the man immediately opened it. Inside was a letter of denunciation. Looking at this letter,

11:46he fell into deep thought. This was the fuse that had led to his conviction and wrongful

11:51imprisonment. It wasn't signed, but it mentioned the Cateroose Inn. The man couldn't understand why

11:56the innkeeper, with whom he had no animosity, would write this denunciation. He then carefully put the

12:01letter in his bag, placed the newspaper in the file, and openly returned it to the staff member.

12:05After leaving the police station, he immediately took Arthur to the Cateroose Inn. He wanted to

12:10find out what exactly had happened, only to discover that the innkeeper no longer worked

12:14there. Four years ago, he had sold the inn and opened a small hotel. Helpless, the two had to set

12:20off again and arrived at the hotel. Because the man had changed significantly, the owner didn't

12:25recognize him at first. So, he took out the letter of denunciation and handed it to the owner.

12:30After reading the letter, the owner didn't seem surprised. It wasn't until the man introduced

12:34himself that the owner suddenly realized who he was. The man was Edmund, who had supposedly been

12:40dead for many years. He quickly begged for mercy, asking the man not to kill him. He had been forced

12:46to do it. He hadn't written the letter himself. He was only responsible for delivering it to the

12:50police station. Upon hearing this, the man asked who was behind it. Under the pressure from Edmund and

12:55Arthur, he had no choice but to tell the truth. The letter had been written by Danglars and Fernand.

13:00At the time, he had wanted to stop them because the accusations were unfounded, but they had

13:05threatened him. Edmund was furious. It was because of their false accusations that he had been wrongfully

13:10imprisoned for 15 years, living a life worse than death. The owner knew that Edmund had returned for

13:16revenge. So, he quickly begged for mercy and stated that after Edmund left, he had been the one taking

13:22care of Edmund's father. He even brought out Edmund's personal belongings. Edmund was very confused.

13:27He could understand Danglars accusing him as he had taken his captaincy. But why would Fernand do

13:32such a thing? The owner was very surprised to hear this because Fernand had married Edmund's fiancée,

13:37and now the two of them were living leisurely in Paris. Upon hearing this, Edmund couldn't sit still

13:42any longer. His beloved fiancée had actually betrayed him. They had once been so deeply in love.

13:47He then learned from the owner that she had also erected the tombstones for him and his father.

13:52The man couldn't understand. He had only gone to prison. Why did they all act as if he were dead?

13:56After briefly calming his anger, he returned to the inn and offered the owner a chance to atone

14:01for his sins, to join his revenge campaign. The owner readily agreed. He didn't want to make any

14:06more mistakes. Danglars was now a successful banker, his business thriving. Fernand had chosen a

14:11career in politics and had even received the title of Count just last year. Edmund then asked the owner

14:17to go to Paris and investigate these two men, as well as prosecutor Vilfort. This man had imprisoned

14:22Edmund without a trial, so there must be some connection between the three of them.

14:26From that moment on, Edmund Dantes would cease to exist. There was only the Count of Monte

14:31Cristo, wholeheartedly seeking revenge. His first target was Danglars, the banker. The man,

14:36now the Count of Monte Cristo, directly approached him. He stated that he had a $10 million investment

14:41project, but it was in the form of securities. In return, he needed $5 million in cash from

14:47Danglars. Because the man had changed so much, Danglars didn't recognize the person in front of him

14:52as the former Edmund. Since it was a guaranteed profitable deal, he agreed without hesitation.

14:57Seeing that Danglars had fallen for his scheme, the man quickly left to prepare his next step.

15:02He then went to the telegraph tower. While the operator went inside, he took out a sleeping potion

15:06and poured it into the operator's wine glass. The unsuspecting operator then drank it. Soon,

15:11he began to feel dizzy and then passed out. Next, Edmund could openly enter the telegraph room and begin

15:16his plan, to transmit false information. He sent out the content written on the paper,

15:21and the telegraph station on the other end quickly replied. Only then did he dare to use the antidote

15:26to wake up the operator. The operator didn't suspect anything, thinking he had just drunk too much.

15:30Soon, Danglars received information from his subordinates. There had been riots in Spain,

15:35and he needed to sell off those securities quickly. The stock prices were plummeting rapidly.

15:39Although it was sudden, since it involved money, he quickly did as instructed.

15:43At this moment, Edmund happened to walk over. Seeing him, Danglars quickly asked if he held

15:48any Spanish securities. Hearing that Danglars had sold his securities, the man revealed a

15:52triumphant smile. His first step in the plan was to make Danglars lose money. After all,

15:57as a banker, he dealt with money every day, and losing money was something these people could

16:01never accept. And his next step was to ruin Danglars' reputation. He first had the innkeeper

16:06seduce Danglars' wife to extract useful information and evidence of his crimes. Then he handed this

16:12evidence to the newspaper. This included the Paris Stock Exchange's trading records for the past

16:17three years. Corresponding to this were Baron Danglars' personal bank statements. By comparing

16:21the two, it could be seen that on the same day, Danglars made large cash withdrawals from his personal

16:27account, his wife made significant stock trades in a certain commodity, and these stocks doubled in

16:31value within two days. The reason Danglars dared to do this was that he had people within the

16:36government. This was how he had made his fortune. Soon, the police learned about this matter.

16:41Danglars was immediately arrested. The charge was using inside government information for illegal

16:46trading on the stock exchange. What awaited him was a dark and desolate prison life. After going in,

16:52he received a letter. It was from Edmund. Curious, Danglars opened it and found the original letter of

16:57denunciation. Only then did he realize that the Count of Monte Cristo was Edmund. There was also a letter

17:03Edmund had written to him. Edmund wished Danglars to spend the rest of his life in prison. Looking at this

17:07letter, he only regretted not realizing the other man's true identity sooner. But it was too late.

17:12Everything was already over. Next, it was Prosecutor Vilfort's turn. Through his investigation,

17:18Edmund learned that this man had had an affair with Danglars' wife and had secretly fathered a

17:22child with her. To prevent this matter from being exposed, he had cruelly buried the child alive.

17:28However, this entire process had been witnessed by the midwife. After Vilfort left,

17:32the kind midwife dug up the child and raised him. With witnesses and evidence, things were simple.

17:38Soon, the man, along with the child and the midwife, sued Prosecutor Vilfort in court. What

17:43awaited him was a ruined reputation and imprisonment. Now that two of his enemies had suffered the

17:49consequences of their actions, only Fernand remained. The man felt even more hatred for Fernand. He had not

17:55only almost caused Edmund's death in prison, but had also taken his fiancée. He had to come up with a

18:00perfect plan to punish him. A few days later, Mercedes received a gift containing an exquisite

18:05earring. It was from the man. He hoped to have a conversation with her because his next plan might

18:10hurt her. Mercedes eventually put on the earring, just as Fernand saw her. Mercedes didn't hide

18:15anything and said that it was a gift from the Count of Monte Cristo. Unexpectedly, upon hearing this,

18:20Fernand directly asked her if she wanted to become the Count's mistress. Mercedes replied that she was

18:25just talking to a friend. Hearing this, Fernand became even more enraged, and the next second,

18:31he slapped her. In reality, their marriage was not happy. She knew that Fernand often went to other

18:37women, but for the sake of her family and her son, she could only endure it. Later, she went to the

18:41park as agreed. The man found it strange that Mercedes kept her back to him. Upon closer inspection,

18:47he noticed the bruise on her face. He hurriedly stepped forward with concern and gently touched it.

18:52The man's voice sounded incredibly familiar to the woman. Then, she asked him if he had ever truly

18:57loved someone. In fact, Mercedes had recognized the man at their first meeting. She just couldn't

19:01believe it, but his words just now completely confirmed it. The person in front of her was

19:05Edmund, the man she had deeply loved. Then, the man took out a pocket watch. It was their keepsake

19:10from years ago. Seeing it, Mercedes couldn't regain her composure for a long time. She never imagined

19:16that he had kept it with him all this time. He had already collected all the evidence of

19:20Fernand's crimes. Years ago, Fernand was just an ordinary soldier. To gain promotion and wealth,

19:25he had actually betrayed his country and defected to the enemy. The enemy had promised him two whole

19:30chests of gold if he succeeded, but the condition was that he had to help them eliminate Pasha.

19:35Soon, this matter was reported by the man. Mercedes and her son were shocked. The woman never imagined

19:40that her husband was such a vile and shameless person. On the third day, the National Assembly convened a

19:45trial on this matter. Faced with the accusations from the Assembly members, Fernand initially vehemently

19:50denied everything, claiming that someone was framing him. But when a young girl walked into the hall,

19:55everything was settled, because this girl was Pasha's daughter. She held the evidence of his betrayal of

20:00the general and acceptance of bribes from the enemy, including his own signature. The man knew that

20:05everything was over. He silently turned and left. Fernand's fate was predictable. After years of planning,

20:10he had finally achieved his great revenge. Afterward, he returned to the church again and

20:15looked at his father's tombstone. His father's life had undoubtedly been tragic. He hadn't enjoyed

20:20wealth and status in his youth, and in his old age, his son wasn't by his side. Now, he could finally

20:26rest in peace. Then, he went to Monte Cristo again. Unexpectedly, Mercedes was also there. From this spot,

20:32they could clearly see the prison that had held him captive for 15 years, as well as the priest who had

20:37treated him like his own son. Then, Mercedes asked him what his plans were for the future.

20:42Edmund remembered a saying the priest had once told him,

20:44If you seek revenge, dig two graves. Although this saying hadn't ultimately come true,

20:50he still planned to leave Paris. He might never return.

20:53Mercedes didn't answer, but silently took his hand.
