FunTranscript
00:00Cassidy is in chains, but the real nightmare is just beginning for the Collins family.
00:05The Hollow is ash, but the Keeper has already made her next move.
00:09Welcome back to the Duke's Masked Bride.
00:13Edgar looked down at Cassidy.
00:15This woman had been a thorn in his side for as long as he could remember.
00:19He had spent years avoiding her, hating her, and even blaming her for the destruction of his family.
00:27Deep down, he had always known the truth.
00:31She was a parasite, feeding off the Collins name.
00:34All she wanted to do was leech off the family's wealth, influence, and legacy.
00:40A satisfied smirk curled across Cassidy's lips, as if she thought her last insult had landed.
00:47As if she thought she'd won.
00:50Not so high and mighty are you now, Duke?
00:53Not without your daddy's fortune?
00:57Slowly, she reached for the money she had shoved aside.
01:01She grabbed a bag of coins and held it up as if to taunt Edgar.
01:06She flicked her wrist ever so slightly, causing the coins to jingle.
01:11Now that is music to my ears.
01:17Edgar, however, didn't flinch, her threat falling on deaf ears.
01:27Guards, he said sharply, already turning away from her.
01:31Remove her at once.
01:34Cassidy blinked, her smirk vanishing in an instant.
01:37Wh-what?
01:40The doors burst open.
01:43Two guards stormed in, grabbing her by the arms before she could bolt.
01:48Her precious pouch of money dropped out of her hands.
01:51No!
01:53No!
01:53She shrieked, thrashing against their grip.
01:56You can't do this.
01:57That money is mine.
02:00I earned it.
02:01After years of being cast aside, I earned it.
02:06Edgar turned back only once, just long enough to meet her desperate, pleading gaze with icy detachment.
02:14You've earned nothing, he said flatly, and your time here is over.
02:22Cassidy screamed as they dragged her out, her cries echoing down the corridor.
02:28Oh, I've earned it all right, all thanks to your pig of a father.
02:34You'll see, Edgar Collins, mark my words, your family will fall.
02:41Cassidy screamed as they dragged her out, her cries echoing down the corridor.
02:46But Edgar didn't watch her go.
02:48He was already walking away.
02:52Smoke curled into the sky as the last of the criminals were dragged out of the hollow in shackles.
02:59The once bustling underground den of crime now stood in shambles.
03:05Edgar and Reed stepped out of the chaos into the crisp night air.
03:10Behind them, guards smashed printing presses and shattered crates of counterfeit coins.
03:17The sound of breaking metal and burning parchment echoing through the alley.
03:22Reed went out a low whistle.
03:25Well, I think it's safe to say we left one hell of a message.
03:31Edgar's gaze remained fixed on the blaze.
03:34It was time.
03:36The hollow's done enough damage to Lockwood.
03:40He crossed his arms.
03:42It won't recover from this.
03:45Reed watched the fire consume the evidence.
03:49Sparks drifting into the sky like embers of war.
03:53You know who this is going to piss off?
03:55Our little friend, the Keeper.
03:59Edgar clenched his jaw.
04:01The last time I checked, the Keeper isn't our friend.
04:06He turned slightly toward Reed.
04:08Let her feel it.
04:10Let her know we're not afraid to carve out the rot she's buried in the city.
04:16Reed raised an eyebrow.
04:18Think it's enough to make a difference?
04:22Edgar nodded just once.
04:24It's certainly a start.
04:27The two men stood in silence, watching the flames devour what was once a symbol of corruption,
04:34now reduced to ash.
04:36And somewhere in the city, the Keeper would soon realize her shadow was no longer untouchable.
04:43And she wouldn't be happy.
04:46The front door clicked shut behind Edgar as he stepped inside,
04:50his coat dusted with soot and the smell of ash still clinging to him.
04:55He took off the coat, expecting the house to be still and quiet.
05:00But to his surprise, a soft glow flickered from down the hall.
05:05He walked toward the torchlight, finding Alessandra in her robe, a book in her lap,
05:11and a steaming cup of tea resting beside her.
05:15She looked up with a soft smile.
05:18I was just about to send for the Kingsguard.
05:22Edgar blinked.
05:23You're still awake?
05:26Don't seem so shocked.
05:29Alessandra stretched slightly, setting the book aside.
05:32Elijah just finished feeding, and I got him settled back down.
05:38Edgar crossed the room to her, and she reached up, gently brushing soot from his shoulder.
05:44You smell like smoke, she murmured.
05:48Edgar gave her a small smirk.
05:50We destroyed the hollow.
05:54Alessandra's eyes widened slightly.
05:57It's done?
05:59Edgar nodded.
06:00She patted his back softly.
06:04Well then.
06:06Job well done, Duke Collins.
06:09But Edgar didn't smile.
06:12He sat beside her, rubbing a hand across his brow.
06:17One of the forgers, before they were taken, said something.
06:22He glanced at her.
06:23They claimed they were giving people a new start.
06:27A clean slate.
06:30Alessandra's expression softened as she listened.
06:34What if it wasn't just criminals?
06:37Edgar asked quietly.
06:39What if some of them were desperate?
06:41Fleeing something worse?
06:44What if I didn't just take down a den of corruption, but someone's last chance?
06:52Alessandra reached for his hand, lacing her fingers with his.
06:57If the hollow was the only hope people had, then that's exactly why it had to go.
07:05Edgar looked at her, searching in her eyes for the truth he already knew deep down.
07:12You've said things like this yourself.
07:15Places like the Red Light District feed on weak people.
07:19Alessandra explained.
07:21I'm sure what that scribe said was partially true.
07:26Criminals weren't the only ones looking to start a new life.
07:29But when all is said and done, the only people who benefit from places like the hollow are the corrupt,
07:37who prey upon those weak people who need a new start.
07:41She sighed.
07:43The world needs better paths to new lives, Edgar.
07:47Not darker ones.
07:50Edgar nodded slowly.
07:55My father would often say, in order to build new, you must dismantle corruption.
08:02It's not just about punishing the wicked.
08:05It's about building something stronger.
08:08Exactly.
08:09And the hollow was at the heart of corruption in this city.
08:13And you're not just doing this for Lockwood or the kingdom, either.
08:18She glanced down the hall toward the nursery.
08:22Edgar followed her gaze, a quiet intensity in his eyes.
08:27I'm doing it for him.
08:29For Elijah.
08:31And his future.
08:34Alessandra leaned her head on his shoulder.
08:37Precisely.
08:39Taking down the hollow wasn't an act of mindless destruction.
08:43It was a warning.
08:45Edgar closed his eyes for a beat.
08:48And perhaps a beginning.
08:51He looked down at Alessandra, resting peacefully beside him, feeling as though, with her at his
08:58side, he could accomplish the impossible.
09:02The prison wagon creaked to a halt as the guards jumped down and opened the iron-barred door.
09:09Cassidy, wrists bound in shackles, stepped down with a sneer on her face.
09:15Her gown, once fine, was rumpled and dirty.
09:20The smugness she used to carry herself with was long gone.
09:24Now, with the chains binding her wrists, she looked like a bitter shell of the person she had once been.
09:31Come on, a guard ordered, shoving her from behind.
09:37Cassidy stumbled forward, her eyes boring into the ground.
09:41However, nothing could have prepared her for what she saw when she looked up.
09:47Standing in her path was Edmund Collins, arms folded and gaze scrutinizing.
09:54Oh, please.
09:57Cassidy's eyes narrowed.
09:59Don't tell me you came to gloat, Edmund.
10:03No, Edmund said simply.
10:06I just came to see you for who you really are.
10:10Cassidy raised her chin, defiant.
10:13Please, don't act like you are some innocent bystander.
10:19You thought I'd stand in the shadows, content to be your little mistress because I loved you.
10:25She laughed.
10:27You were always so blind.
10:29Deep down, you knew the truth.
10:32You knew what I always wanted.
10:34You just hoped that I'd keep pretending it was always about you.
10:39Edmund drew in a deep breath.
10:41I was a fool, he admitted.
10:45But not anymore.
10:47You're right.
10:48I thought you loved me.
10:50I truly did.
10:52He stepped closer.
10:54But you never wanted me.
10:56You wanted what came with me.
10:59The title.
11:00The money.
11:01The name.
11:02And perhaps you were the one too blind to see that you would never be worthy of receiving any of
11:09that.
11:09But I can see now how you managed to manipulate me.
11:14Cassidy rolled her eyes.
11:16Don't make yourself out to be the victim now.
11:19You were never a good man.
11:22Not to me.
11:24She paused for a brief moment.
11:26And certainly not to Priscilla, as dastardly as she was.
11:31Enough.
11:33Edmund's jaw tensed, her words striking deeper than he let on.
11:38You used me.
11:40He said quietly, almost as if to himself.
11:44And I let you, because I didn't want to face what I'd become.
11:50Cassidy gave a bitter smile.
11:53Poor, tragic Edmund.
11:56Trying to rewrite history now that everyone's watching.
12:00I didn't use you any more than you wanted to be used.
12:03We never had some great love.
12:06We were just convenient to each other.
12:11The guards moved to take her inside, but Edmund raised a hand to say one last thing.
12:18Cassidy, you're right about one thing.
12:21I wasn't a good man.
12:23I chose a woman like you when I had everything a man could ever want.
12:28Edmund said resolutely.
12:31Cassidy raised an eyebrow, confused at Edmund's earnest confession.
12:36Edmund looked the woman directly in her eyes.
12:39But I'm going to spend the rest of my life making sure that what you and I tore down
12:45is built back stronger than it ever was.
12:50Cassidy opened her mouth, but the guards ushered her forward, her chains clinking as she was
12:56dragged toward the looming gates of the prison.
13:00Edmund watched her as she went, the weight of her words still settling in his chest.
13:06Slowly, he turned away, unsure if he would ever be able to actually face the truth of what
13:12he had done to his family.
13:16After saying his final goodbyes to Cassidy, Edmund returned back to Edgar's estate.
13:23The front door creaked open as he stepped inside.
13:26Gerald approached from the corridor, bowing politely.
13:30Good day, Lord Collins.
13:32If you are here to see the Duke, I'm afraid he's out, tending to some unfinished business
13:37from the hollow raid.
13:39Edmund nodded.
13:41I figured as much.
13:43I only came to let him know that it's done.
13:47Cassidy's been delivered to the prison.
13:49Whatever money the guard was able to find was reinstated.
13:53Gerald offered a solemn nod.
13:55Then I imagine that chapter is finally closed.
14:00Edmund pursed his lips.
14:03I'm not quite sure it's that simple.
14:07Just then, Alfred appeared from around the corner, carrying a silver tray with a teapot
14:13and two cups.
14:14He paused when he spotted Edmund.
14:17Oh, hello, sir.
14:19I wasn't aware you were stopping by.
14:21Would you like me to go get the Duchess and little Elijah?
14:25That's hardly necessary.
14:27I wasn't planning on staying long, Edmund admitted.
14:31At least stay for tea, especially with this dastardly weather, Alfred said, gesturing with
14:38the tray.
14:39Come, sit with me.
14:41I've just put on a fresh pot and there's enough for two.
14:47Edmund hesitated.
14:49Then, after a beat, he allowed himself a small smile.
14:53I suppose I could use some company.
14:57Moments later, Edmund sat across from Alfred at a small tea table.
15:01The tray between them was set with porcelain cups, a polished silver teapot, and a plate
15:07of untouched biscuits.
15:10Alfred poured the tea with quiet precision, glancing up as he handed Edmund a cup.
15:15You're awfully quiet today, Alfred said gently.
15:21The two men had never been particularly close.
15:24Usually they just spoke regarding Edgar or other family matters.
15:29However, Alfred knew Edmund well enough to know when something was on his mind.
15:35Typically, Edmund chatted about the current events in the kingdom.
15:38But today, he was utterly withdrawn and silent.
15:43Edmund offered a weak smile.
15:46It's been a long few days.
15:50Alfred nodded but didn't press.
15:53He simply waited.
15:55Years of service had taught him the power of silence when someone needed to speak.
16:00Edmund stirred his tea slowly, watching the ripples swirl in the cup.
16:06You've known me a long time, Alfred.
16:09Since Edgar more resembled Elijah than his current self, Alfred said with a fond chuckle.
16:16Edmund drew in a deep breath.
16:19Then I suppose you know better than anyone that I wasn't exactly the perfect husband.
16:27Or father.
16:29Hell, you were a better father than I was.
16:31And while you were never a husband, I suppose after seeing how you are with my mother,
16:38you would have been better at that role, too.
16:42Alfred's smile faded, and he set his own cup down, giving Edmund his full attention.
16:48I used to tell myself I was doing what needed to be done, Edmund continued,
16:54focusing on this kingdom, my work, or my legacy.
16:58But the truth is, I think I was just running from responsibility, from real connection, from love.
17:11He looked up at Alfred.
17:13What if I'd put nearly half of that effort into Priscilla, into Edgar?
17:19Would things have turned out differently?
17:23Alfred considered his words carefully before replying.
17:27Maybe.
17:28Maybe not.
17:30Life doesn't always give us neat, clean answers.
17:35But.
17:36He leaned forward slightly.
17:39It's never too late to try again.
17:42You've already taken steps to be more involved in Edgar's life.
17:46I have seen it myself.
17:48Edmund looked down again, ashamed.
17:53Admittedly, it's...
17:54Well, it's...
17:56Alfred's eyes widened as he realized what was going on.
18:01It's about Priscilla.
18:04I just don't think she will ever forgive me.
18:07I spent our entire relationship pining over a mistress, casting her aside, and looking for any excuse to get away
18:14from her.
18:15And now, she is all I can think about.
18:20However, I can't rewrite the past, no matter how much I regret it now.
18:26Alfred didn't argue.
18:28Instead, he folded his hands.
18:30He gave Edmund a small, encouraging smile.
18:41You don't have to erase the past.
18:44You just have to do better now.
18:46And keep doing better day by day.
18:50Edmund let that sit for a long moment.
18:53Then he nodded slowly.
18:56I suppose if the two of us can sit down and share a pot of tea, anything's possible.
19:02Alfred laughed softly.
19:06Strange things have happened.
19:08They clicked their teacups gently.
19:12Alfred smiled.
19:14To second chances.
19:16You'd better have a good enough reason for disturbing me.
19:21The Keeper, cloaked in flowing black silk, sat at an ornate desk, idly sipping from a crystal glass of red
19:29wine.
19:30Her quill scratched against the parchment in front of her, her eyes not even bothering to look up as someone
19:36rushed into her private quarters.
19:39My, my, my Lady Keeper, it's gone.
19:42The Hollow, it's been dismantled.
19:46Edgar Collins, one of his men, and the Kingsguard, they destroyed everything.
19:53The Keeper set her wine down with deliberate care.
19:57She stared ahead for a long moment, then slowly rose to her feet.
20:02She looked at the disheveled man in front of her.
20:04He was a scribe who managed to escape.
20:09Covered in soot and ash, he staggered forward, falling to one knee before her.
20:14The Keeper cleared her throat.
20:19Excuse me?
20:22The scribe trembled.
20:24It happened so fast.
20:26I managed to get away, but others weren't so lucky.
20:30They were all imprisoned, or worse.
20:34It's all in shambles.
20:36Nothing of the Haven remains.
20:39I'm sorry, my Lady.
20:42The Keeper's face remained eerily composed.
20:47That's the most profitable faction of the District.
20:52The scribe squeezed his eyes shut.
20:55I know.
20:57It was bound to happen, Keeper said softly.
21:02Edgar Collins is more clever than I give him credit for.
21:07She moved toward the wall of maps fashioned behind her.
21:11Red threads connected names, faces, and symbols,
21:15stretching out over Lockmere and two other lands cast in shadows.
21:19Her fingers brushed over the intricate web of names and territories.
21:25Let's see.
21:27Viscount, Powell, Doctor, No, Well, there you are.
21:36Her index finger landed on a familiar name.
21:40Cassidy.
21:42Without hesitation, she plucked the name from its pin,
21:46letting the parchment slip between her fingers and flutter into the flame of a nearby candle.
21:52Just another disappointment.
21:54I should have known better than to trust a whore.
21:59The parchment curled and blackened to ash.
22:03We'll strike them where it hurts, she murmured,
22:07watching the flames consume the paper.
22:09But not where they expect.
22:13Behind her, the scribe shivered.
22:16Will...
22:17Will you spare me, Madam?
22:19Please?
22:21There was no answer.
22:23The room had grown colder,
22:25and the keeper's silence was more terrifying than any scream.
22:32The grand hallways of Edmund's estate were still and quiet.
22:36The hour was late, and most of the staff had retired for the evening.
22:41Calvin, Edmund's loyal butler,
22:44carried a tray of fresh linens through the corridor,
22:47humming faintly to himself.
22:49As he passed one of the side halls, he paused.
22:52His ears catching something unusual.
22:55A strange rattling sound.
22:57He turned slowly.
23:00The front parlor door,
23:02normally locked and sealed at this hour,
23:05was shaking.
23:06The knob jerking violently,
23:08as if someone on the other side were trying to force it open.
23:12Calvin's eyes widened.
23:14Who's there?
23:16He set down the tray and took a cautious step forward.
23:20This is private property.
23:23I suggest you leave before I...
23:27But it was no use.
23:29The lock splintered,
23:30the door slamming open with a violent force that rattled the paintings on the walls.
23:36Dark figures burst through the threshold,
23:39masked,
23:40swift,
23:40and dressed in weathered cloaks.
23:42The flickering candlelight glinted off the metal of their weapons.
23:47Calvin barely had time to shout,
23:49before one of them lunged forward,
23:51shoving him against the wall and knocking him to the floor.
23:55Guards!
23:56He tried to cry out,
23:58but a blow to the side of his head rendered him speechless.
24:03The intruders spread out,
24:05swift and purposeful,
24:06like shadows with a mission.
24:10The carriage rolled to a stop beneath a cloudy, moonlit sky.
24:15Edmund stepped down,
24:17pulling his coat tighter against the cold fall air.
24:20The grounds were unusually still.
24:23No lights burned in the windows.
24:26No servants waited to greet him.
24:28He frowned.
24:30Calvin!
24:32There was a shuffle.
24:34Then, from the shadows,
24:36Calvin emerged,
24:38staggering,
24:39blood matting his temple,
24:41his uniform torn.
24:43He looked dazed,
24:44barely able to stand.
24:46My...
24:47Lord!
24:49Calvin choked out.
24:51They...
24:52They...
24:53came out of nowhere.
24:55Edmund rushed forward,
24:57catching him by the shoulders.
24:59Who did this?
25:01I...
25:02do not know.
25:04They were masked men.
25:06They moved like phantoms.
25:08They scattered when the guards came.
25:11I tried to stop them.
25:15Calvin's voice trailed off as he sank to the ground.
25:20Without another word,
25:22Edmund bolted up the steps,
25:23throwing open the door.
25:25The once grand estate was in ruins.
25:28Furniture was overturned.
25:30Glass shattered across the floor.
25:33Portraits ripped from the walls.
25:37Edmund's boots crunched over broken ceramics as he stepped inside,
25:41dread curling in his stomach.
25:43The study door was off its hinges.
25:46Edmund stepped into the wreckage,
25:48his breath catching in his throat.
25:50Drawers had been emptied,
25:52shelves swept clean,
25:54and books torn apart.
25:56His desk lay in splinters,
25:59and,
25:59atop it,
26:00a pile of ripped parchment.
26:03He moved closer,
26:05picking up a piece.
26:06The ink was smudged,
26:07and the edges burned.
26:09As he studied it,
26:10he realized it was Priscilla's handwriting.
26:14His hands trembled
26:16as he sifted through the torn letters.
26:21It's gone,
26:23he murmured.
26:25All of it.
26:27Edmund stood motionless among the wreckage,
26:30pieces of Priscilla's letters
26:31still clutched in his shaking hands.
26:35Then,
26:35a faint breeze stirred ash across the floor,
26:38drawing his eye toward the fireplace.
26:41There,
26:43above the cold,
26:44blackened hearth,
26:45a message had been scrawled,
26:47crudely in soot,
26:49the letters jagged,
26:50and unmistakably deliberate,
26:52as they read,
26:54The hollow was ours.
26:56Now,
26:57we take something that's yours.
27:01Edmund's chest tightened.
27:03The word stared back at him like a curse.
27:06At that moment,
27:07he realized,
27:08this wasn't about money or destruction.
27:11This was a personal message,
27:14one straight from the keeper.
27:17Edmund staggered back a step,
27:19then steadied himself,
27:21his jaw clenched.
27:23Edgar has to know,
27:25he muttered aloud,
27:26turning away from the soot-scrawled threat.
27:29Now.
27:31Without sparing another glance
27:33at the devastation around him,
27:35Edmund turned and strode from the room,
27:37fire in his veins,
27:39and a name burning in his mind.
27:42The keeper had made her move.
27:44And now,
27:45without even so much as a moment of rest,
27:48it was their turn.
27:50A home destroyed.
27:52A legacy burned.
27:54The keeper is no longer hiding,
27:57and she's coming for everything?
