00:00:00Mum says Grandma's medicine costs a lot.
00:00:03We can't afford it, but I can find herbs.
00:00:08They say there's a plant that can cure a fever,
00:00:11but it hides in the thorns.
00:00:13Almost no one can find it.
00:00:15Ow! No!
00:00:18I have to find it.
00:00:20They saved my life.
00:00:21This is the only thing I can do.
00:00:24Eight years ago, Mum found me in the snow and brought me home.
00:00:31Elodie, her real daughter.
00:00:32She always comes first.
00:00:36No matter what happens, Mum always believes her.
00:00:43Oh no, I've gone too far.
00:00:46I'm outside the village.
00:00:47It's a rogue!
00:00:50I found it!
00:00:54Ow!
00:01:06If I cure Grandma,
00:01:08then I'll be useful in this family.
00:01:10Maybe Mum will finally like me.
00:01:23Stupid Ruby,
00:01:24I knew you were up to something.
00:01:26Trying to steal Grandma from me?
00:01:28Not happening.
00:01:32Mom!
00:01:33Mom!
00:01:35Mom,
00:01:36I worked so hard to find herbs for Grandpa.
00:01:39I left them by the window,
00:01:40but Ruby stole it.
00:01:42She said she could sell it for money.
00:01:45What?
00:02:01Mom!
00:02:01I found the...
00:02:05You stole Elodie's herbs for Granny?
00:02:08And you were going to sell them?
00:02:09No, Mum!
00:02:10I picked those herbs,
00:02:11not Elodie!
00:02:12Lying again!
00:02:13You steal your sister's things and blame her?
00:02:15Every single time!
00:02:17Neil,
00:02:18don't stand up until you learn your lesson.
00:02:25Don't be sad, sweetie.
00:02:26Mum will buy you your favorite honey cakes.
00:02:28Let's go.
00:02:30Let's go.
00:02:39Ruby,
00:02:40why are you kneeling?
00:02:49Ruby,
00:02:50your mother says
00:02:51you stole Elodie's herbs
00:02:53to sell them.
00:02:54Is that true?
00:02:54No, Grandma.
00:02:55I picked them.
00:02:56Your mom and Elodie both said so.
00:02:58Are they lying?
00:03:01Your mom keeps saying you steal.
00:03:04I've defended you every time.
00:03:05I kept saying you deserved another chance.
00:03:08But every time,
00:03:10the same situation happens again.
00:03:13Your mom said I was too soft on you.
00:03:15That's why you became a thief.
00:03:17Maybe she was right.
00:03:19It's all my fault.
00:03:21Grandma,
00:03:22that's not true.
00:03:23I've never stolen anything.
00:03:25It was all...
00:03:26First you steal.
00:03:28Now you lie.
00:03:30Go sort the medicine cabinet.
00:03:33Then sleep.
00:03:37Grandma,
00:03:38why won't you believe me?
00:03:40Why do all of you only believe Elodie?
00:03:42Is it because she's your real daughter?
00:03:45And I'm not?
00:04:04She's faking it again.
00:04:06She just doesn't want to work.
00:04:07Stop pretending.
00:04:09Go sweep the yard.
00:04:15Of course you get sick
00:04:16when there's work to do.
00:04:19Mom,
00:04:20I really don't feel well.
00:04:22Then why'd you steal the herbs?
00:04:23Grandma's still sick because of you.
00:04:25You brought this on yourself.
00:04:26I'm sorry.
00:04:32I'm sorry.
00:04:37Sis,
00:04:38I found those herbs.
00:04:39Why did you lie to Mom?
00:04:41I was just having fun.
00:04:43But you're right.
00:04:44Let me make it up to you.
00:04:46Here,
00:04:47have some water.
00:04:52If you just admitted you stole them,
00:04:55Mom wouldn't be so mad.
00:04:59I'm not a thief, Mom.
00:05:01I swear to God.
00:05:06The church is my favorite place.
00:05:10No one yells at me here.
00:05:11If I finish cleaning,
00:05:13Father even says,
00:05:14good job, Ruby.
00:05:15Elodie,
00:05:16can you help me clean the altar?
00:05:18Father will have a ceremony in five minutes.
00:05:20I don't have time.
00:05:20No.
00:05:21Mom said I'll be a lady.
00:05:23Cleaning is a maid's job.
00:05:25Maid.
00:05:44Hi, Father John.
00:05:51Elodie,
00:05:52Ruby,
00:05:53come here.
00:05:54Money's missing from the donation box.
00:05:56Who took it?
00:05:57I've been sitting here,
00:05:59but I did see Ruby near the donation box.
00:06:02I didn't touch it.
00:06:03I was cleaning the altar.
00:06:05Only you two were here.
00:06:07Whoever took the money,
00:06:08return it now,
00:06:09and I won't punish you.
00:06:11Why not check her pockets?
00:06:14I'm not a thief, Father.
00:06:15I swear.
00:06:18Let my dog have a sniff.
00:06:32Maybe it smells a thief.
00:06:34That dog never made a mistake.
00:06:36She must be the thief.
00:06:37Ruby,
00:06:37hand it over.
00:06:38Don't make me search you.
00:06:42Hey,
00:06:43what's going on?
00:06:45Your daughter stole from the donation box.
00:06:48You stole again?
00:06:49Mom,
00:06:50it wasn't me.
00:06:51Please,
00:06:51you must believe me.
00:07:03It wasn't me.
00:07:04I didn't take them.
00:07:06No wonder the kids turned out like this.
00:07:08Kids learn it from home.
00:07:08It must be her mom teaching her to steal.
00:07:15First the herbs.
00:07:17Now you're stealing in front of God?
00:07:22Haven't you embarrassed me enough?
00:07:24Mom,
00:07:25I didn't...
00:07:25Shut up!
00:07:26No,
00:07:26Mom,
00:07:27please don't!
00:07:28You don't deserve this,
00:07:29Red Hood!
00:07:30I should have left you in the snow.
00:07:32You should have frozen to death!
00:07:47I fed you,
00:07:49clothed you,
00:07:49raised you,
00:07:50and this is how you repay me?
00:07:52Stealing,
00:07:53lying,
00:07:53again and again.
00:07:54You're no daughter of mine.
00:08:02Don't be mad, Mom.
00:08:03Maybe she just can't help herself.
00:08:05Now that's a good girl.
00:08:09Kneel,
00:08:09until dark.
00:08:10Don't you dare get up.
00:08:19Red Hood's a thief.
00:08:22Her mom says she was found in the trash.
00:08:37Stay away from her.
00:08:39She'll steal your toys.
00:08:52Everyone at the market talks about me now.
00:08:55Even the shopkeeper asked if I dealt with my little thief.
00:08:58This is all your fault!
00:09:02Say something!
00:09:04Are you mute?
00:09:06Mom,
00:09:07I really didn't steal.
00:09:09Still lying?
00:09:10The coins came out of your pocket.
00:09:12Father saw it.
00:09:13Everyone saw it.
00:09:16Eladid would never do this.
00:09:17She's my flesh and blood.
00:09:18I know her.
00:09:19But you?
00:09:20I don't even know where you came from.
00:09:23A stray stays astray.
00:09:28Mom,
00:09:29don't be mad at her.
00:09:30I'm sure she doesn't mean to.
00:09:33She just can't help it.
00:09:35Did we wake you?
00:09:36Come on.
00:09:37I'll take you back to bed.
00:09:53Ruby,
00:09:54I'm so disappointed in you.
00:09:56I need to be harder on you.
00:09:58Keep this up and you're beyond saving.
00:10:00Grandma,
00:10:00I really didn't steal.
00:10:01Hold out your hands.
00:10:06Hold out your hands.
00:10:07That's for stealing.
00:10:09That's for shaming this family.
00:10:11Grandma,
00:10:12it hurts.
00:10:17Why won't anyone believe me?
00:10:20Mom,
00:10:21Grandma.
00:10:31What is this?
00:10:34What is this?
00:10:42Stay in the kitchen.
00:10:43Cut the vegetables,
00:10:44serve the food,
00:10:45and never come out.
00:10:47Everyone knows you're a thief now.
00:10:49Don't shame us.
00:10:56Grandma,
00:10:56happy birthday.
00:11:04It's my birthday.
00:11:05There's something I need to do.
00:11:08This necklace has been passed down
00:11:10in the family for three generations.
00:11:12My mother gave it to me.
00:11:14Today,
00:11:15I'm giving it to Elodie.
00:11:16Thank you, Grandma.
00:11:17It's beautiful.
00:11:19Happy birthday, Grandma.
00:11:21But I guess you don't need my gift anymore.
00:11:30Ruby,
00:11:30Mom will definitely kick you out of my home now.
00:11:40Mom,
00:11:40my necklace is gone.
00:11:42Where'd you put it?
00:11:43Think.
00:11:44I had it before I changed.
00:11:46Then it was gone.
00:11:48Maybe
00:11:48Ruby took it.
00:11:53Ruby,
00:11:54come here!
00:11:57Now.
00:11:59Now.
00:11:59Now.
00:12:00Now.
00:12:00Now.
00:12:01Now.
00:12:02Now.
00:12:03Now.
00:12:04Now.
00:12:04Now.
00:12:04Now.
00:12:06Look at this.
00:12:08She didn't just steal it.
00:12:10She hung it on her own picture.
00:12:13What was she thinking?
00:12:15Does she really think she's the heir to this family?
00:12:19You?
00:12:19A thief?
00:12:21A stray I found in the snow.
00:12:24And you think you deserve anything that belongs to the Hale?
00:12:27Mom,
00:12:27I didn't take it.
00:12:29I was in the kitchen.
00:12:35Stealing wasn't enough?
00:12:36Now you want Elodie's place?
00:12:38Who do you think you are?
00:12:43Ruby,
00:12:43are you stealing from us now?
00:12:46Grandma,
00:12:47I didn't take it.
00:12:48Grandma.
00:12:48Every time,
00:12:49you deny it.
00:12:50If you still won't admit it,
00:12:52then from today on,
00:12:52you're no longer part of this family.
00:12:54I'm not lying.
00:12:55I didn't do it.
00:12:57Grandma,
00:12:57why won't you believe me?
00:13:05Stay in there.
00:13:06You come out when you confess.
00:13:07Mom!
00:13:08Mom,
00:13:08I didn't take it!
00:13:27Mom!
00:13:28Mom!
00:13:29Mom!
00:13:30Something's wrong with my hands!
00:13:31Please open the door!
00:13:33Please open the door!
00:13:35Ignore her.
00:13:35She's just trying to make you feel sorry for her.
00:13:38If you open that door,
00:13:39then she wins.
00:13:44Mom,
00:13:45please open the door!
00:13:47I'm hurting!
00:13:49Something's wrong with me!
00:13:51Please,
00:13:52Mom!
00:13:56Mom,
00:13:57what are you doing?
00:13:59She cried like this
00:14:00when she had a fever,
00:14:01remember?
00:14:02She was fine.
00:14:03She's just pretending
00:14:04so you won't send her away.
00:14:06Mom,
00:14:07please,
00:14:08just come see me!
00:14:10What's wrong with Ruby?
00:14:12Nothing.
00:14:13She's acting up again.
00:14:15Then let her.
00:14:18Let her.
00:14:21Let her.
00:14:38Oh!
00:14:40Oh, my God.
00:15:08Your Highness, what's wrong?
00:15:10I felt it.
00:15:13A wolf has awakened.
00:15:15It's my sister's wolf.
00:15:19Gather the royal guard.
00:15:20Move out.
00:15:21Now.
00:15:33Why am I looking at myself?
00:15:36Why do I have ears?
00:15:40I can't feel all the pains anymore.
00:15:49A ghost?
00:15:50A ghost.
00:15:52So I'm dead.
00:15:55No wonder it doesn't hurt anymore.
00:16:01Mom, I'm dead.
00:16:03Please open the door.
00:16:05Please open the door.
00:16:07Mom, please.
00:16:09Just check the shed.
00:16:10This time she stays in there longer.
00:16:12Maybe she'll finally learn.
00:16:13Grandma already said she's not family anymore.
00:16:15Why don't we just throw her out?
00:16:16People would talk.
00:16:17She stays.
00:16:19She's still useful.
00:16:31I'm dead.
00:16:33Please.
00:16:33Somebody check the shed.
00:16:40No one will come.
00:16:42You never listened when I was alive.
00:16:45Why would you hear me now?
00:16:53Ruby?
00:16:54What's that smell?
00:16:57Do you hide food in there?
00:16:59What are you doing?
00:17:00You little brat.
00:17:02What did you steal this time?
00:17:06Mom, it's me.
00:17:08I'm dead.
00:17:09Please open the door.
00:17:12Wait.
00:17:12Did you just try to get my attention?
00:17:18Did you shit inside?
00:17:20Couldn't you hold it?
00:17:21No better than an animal.
00:17:22You want out?
00:17:23Then admit everything you've done.
00:17:36It's so warm.
00:17:38But aren't I dead?
00:17:43Ruby, it stinks.
00:17:45What the hell are you doing in there?
00:17:47Your highness, the village is just ahead.
00:17:50Sister, you've been alone for far too long.
00:17:52When I find you, I'll give you everything you've ever wanted.
00:17:59You little brat.
00:18:01Don't think you're getting away with this.
00:18:02Just wait till I get that door open.
00:18:04Mom, you can't punish me anymore.
00:18:19Who is he?
00:18:29Who is he?
00:18:32I finally found you.
00:18:38Open the door.
00:18:40My lord.
00:18:41What an honor.
00:18:43We never get visitors of your stature.
00:18:45Please, I'll make tea.
00:18:47I'm looking for a girl.
00:18:49She went missing near this village eight years ago.
00:18:52She'd be about eight now.
00:18:53Eight years ago.
00:18:54An eight-year-old girl.
00:18:55Could he mean Ruby?
00:18:56A girl.
00:18:58Of course.
00:19:02My lord.
00:19:03Could it be my Elodie you're looking for?
00:19:05She's bright, well-mannered, beautiful.
00:19:08Everything a noble house could want.
00:19:12If you're looking to take a worthy child under your weave, my Elodie would be...
00:19:15The child I'm looking for is my sister.
00:19:18She's a princess of the Veil's bloodline.
00:19:20I'm here to bring her home.
00:19:22Sister?
00:19:23Princess?
00:19:24He's talking about me?
00:19:27A princess?
00:19:28Oh, my lord.
00:19:29I always knew there was something special about that child.
00:19:31I raised her for eight years.
00:19:34I fed her the same meals as my daughter, clothed her, and kept her warm.
00:19:37I treated her like my own child.
00:19:38Better.
00:19:39Where is she?
00:19:40My lord, Ruby's been...
00:19:42She made a little mistake recently, so I've been teaching her a lesson.
00:19:47She's just inside.
00:19:48Let me fetch her for you.
00:19:49I promise I've taken very good care of her.
00:19:51Open the door.
00:19:53Now.
00:19:54She's fine, my lord.
00:19:55She's perfectly fine.
00:19:56Just a bit stubborn.
00:19:57You know how children are.
00:19:58Ruby?
00:19:59Ruby, we have a guest!
00:20:00Get up!
00:20:14Ruby, we have an important guest and you're still sleeping?
00:20:17Get up!
00:20:18Get up right now!
00:20:22No!
00:20:24No, no, no.
00:20:25Wake up.
00:20:25Sis, open your eyes.
00:20:27You can't...
00:20:27You can't be...
00:20:29How could you die?
00:20:30How could you die before I found you?
00:20:40That...
00:20:41That little wolf is Ruby?
00:20:44Ruby is dead?
00:20:45No!
00:20:46No, that's impossible!
00:20:47I only locked her in here.
00:20:49She was fine.
00:20:50She was alive.
00:20:51I was just teaching her a lesson.
00:20:52I only kept her in here for a couple of days.
00:20:54She can't be dead!
00:21:00I was just disciplining her.
00:21:01I didn't mean to...
00:21:04She can't be dead!
00:21:05How could she possibly be dead?
00:21:08That's not Ruby!
00:21:10It can't be her!
00:21:11It must be some other wolf!
00:21:13It got in somehow!
00:21:14That is not Ruby!
00:21:17You dare tell me this is not my sister?
00:21:21I have searched for her for eight years.
00:21:24Every village.
00:21:25Every border.
00:21:27Every rumor.
00:21:28And you think I cannot recognize my own blood!
00:21:32These markings are the highest insignia of the Veiled Bloodline.
00:21:36They appear once in a generation.
00:21:39Only on the purest born.
00:21:42You couldn't forge them if you tried.
00:21:59It must have been an accident.
00:22:01I didn't know.
00:22:03I swear I didn't know she...
00:22:05Enough!
00:22:08What did you do to her?
00:22:11Speak!
00:22:14She stole things!
00:22:15She was always stealing!
00:22:18And lying about it.
00:22:20I just locked her in here to teach her a lesson.
00:22:23That's all.
00:22:23I swear.
00:22:25Say that again.
00:22:27I...
00:22:27What?
00:22:28My sister.
00:22:29A princess of the Veiled Bloodline.
00:22:31And you stand here with her body at your feet and call her a thief.
00:22:35A liar!
00:22:39Do you really think I'd let you slander my sister like that?
00:22:42She couldn't possibly be a thief!
00:22:44He actually believes me.
00:22:46Someone in this world actually believes I'm not a thief.
00:22:50Please.
00:22:51I can't.
00:22:52She really did steal.
00:22:54Every time something went missing, it was found on her.
00:22:57In her pockets.
00:22:59Under her bed.
00:22:59I was only trying to set her straight.
00:23:02I just wanted her to grow up right.
00:23:05You accused the Alpha's sister of theft with no evidence.
00:23:09Do you understand what that means under PAC law?
00:23:14Elodie!
00:23:15Elodie saw everything.
00:23:17Every time something went missing, she was right there.
00:23:19She saw Ruby do it.
00:23:20Tell him, Elodie!
00:23:21Tell him!
00:23:24My lord.
00:23:26I'm so scared.
00:23:28Ruby!
00:23:29My sister!
00:23:31She would take things sometimes.
00:23:36I never wanted to tell on her.
00:23:37But when Mama asked me, I couldn't lie.
00:23:40I loved her.
00:23:41I didn't want her to be a thief.
00:23:42I just didn't know how to help her.
00:23:44Even now.
00:23:45Even with me lying dead on the floor.
00:23:47You're still lying.
00:23:48No matter what you say, I need proof.
00:23:52Search the house.
00:23:53Start with the corner where my sister slept.
00:24:01This is where she slept?
00:24:04This is what you call treating her like your own daughter?
00:24:08My lord.
00:24:09A broken comb.
00:24:11A candle stub.
00:24:12That's everything, my lord.
00:24:13No stolen goods, no silver, no food.
00:24:16Nothing of any value.
00:24:18And these are what you claim she stole?
00:24:20You are the liars.
00:24:22You killed my sister.
00:24:24Seize them!
00:24:27No!
00:24:28We didn't kill anyone!
00:24:29She did it to herself!
00:24:31She stole and she lied and we...
00:24:33We didn't do anything!
00:24:34It was all Ruby!
00:24:35It was always Ruby!
00:24:37It was always Ruby!
00:24:41My lord.
00:24:42I found something.
00:24:44It appears to belong to the princess.
00:24:50That's my diary!
00:24:52Read it!
00:24:53Please read it!
00:24:54All the truth is in there!
00:24:59Give me that!
00:25:00Whatever she wrote in there...
00:25:01It's all lies!
00:25:03She's a liar!
00:25:04She'll say anything to make herself look...
00:25:08Stay down.
00:25:09Today, Ellaby ate the bread.
00:25:11She put the crumbs on my apron.
00:25:13Yeah.
00:25:14Soon.
00:25:16Mama said I stole the bread.
00:25:18Mama said no dinner for me.
00:25:19I didn't steal.
00:25:21I'm so hungry now.
00:25:24I remember that night.
00:25:26I was so hungry I couldn't sleep.
00:25:31I kept counting the cracks in the ceiling so I wouldn't think about food.
00:25:35Because I was picked up from outside, you all believe Elby and not me.
00:25:39One time, Yelodi put candy wrappers in my room on purpose.
00:25:42Mama said I ate the candy.
00:25:44She punished me.
00:25:45No food.
00:25:46Only rotten leaves.
00:25:47That night, my tummy got so sick.
00:25:50I throwed up.
00:25:51There was blood.
00:25:52My throat felt like fire.
00:25:53Mama saw it.
00:25:54She said I secretly ate fruit and faked illness.
00:25:56She ignored my bloody vomit and went to read Elodie a bedtime story.
00:25:59It hurt so much.
00:26:01I kept calling for her.
00:26:03I thought if she just came back and looked, really looked, she would see it was blood, not fruit.
00:26:09I was throwing up blood.
00:26:10My throat was swell up and it braked.
00:26:12Mama, you're my mama too.
00:26:15Why can't you believe me?
00:26:16No, that's not true.
00:26:20She's lying.
00:26:21That's not how it happened.
00:26:22She's making it up.
00:26:23I didn't...
00:26:23No, no, that's not what I...
00:26:25Why didn't I find you sooner?
00:26:26Why did I let you stay in this place?
00:26:28Don't say that.
00:26:30Please don't say that.
00:26:31You're the only one who came for me, who really trusts me.
00:26:34It's not your fault.
00:26:35It was never your fault.
00:26:40Eight years.
00:26:43She was here for eight years.
00:26:45And I was too late.
00:26:50Mama, can you finally see now?
00:26:52I wasn't lying.
00:26:54I was never lying.
00:26:58She wrote it herself.
00:26:59Of course she'd write things that make her look innocent.
00:27:01A child who steals will say anything and a child who steals can write lies in a diary too.
00:27:05That proves nothing!
00:27:06Even now.
00:27:07Even after I'm dead.
00:27:08You still won't believe me, Mama.
00:27:16What is all this noise?
00:27:17What's going on?
00:27:19What is...
00:27:19Why is there a dead wolf in the shed?
00:27:21What's happening?
00:27:22Where's Ruby?
00:27:22You can't recognize her?
00:27:24It's Ruby.
00:27:26My dear sister.
00:27:27The Princess of the Veil Bloodline.
00:27:29You killed her!
00:27:30No!
00:27:31That can't be...
00:27:31That's not Ruby!
00:27:32That little wolf is my Ruby!
00:27:34Ruby!
00:27:37Look at it.
00:27:38Look at what she drew.
00:27:39I picked herbs for Grandma in the rain.
00:27:41I picked them.
00:27:42I didn't steal them.
00:27:43Eldie said I did again.
00:27:45Mama said I wanted Grandma to die.
00:27:47I don't want Grandma to die.
00:27:48I love Grandma.
00:27:49Grandma just doesn't love me.
00:27:53Grandma, even if you don't believe me, it's okay.
00:27:56I won't say anything anymore.
00:27:59I just want you to be healthy.
00:28:01I just want us to stay together.
00:28:06This is the last thing she ever wrote.
00:28:09Grandma, happy birthday.
00:28:10I made a flower wreath for you.
00:28:11But I don't think you want my gift anymore.
00:28:13I didn't steal the necklace.
00:28:14I really didn't.
00:28:15I know you don't think of me as real family,
00:28:17but you are the only family I have.
00:28:20You don't think of me as real family,
00:28:22but you don't think of me as real family,
00:28:24I will hate you as real friends.
00:28:44Why?
00:28:46Why did you do this to my sister?
00:28:47Mama! Grandma! Save me, please!
00:28:52Stop! Please, my lord, stop! She's just a child.
00:28:57Elid is not a bad girl. This must be a misunderstanding. She would never...
00:29:01Your granddaughter is dead. Her diary is full of what this one did to her.
00:29:07And you are still standing here defending your precious little darling.
00:29:11Even now, even with my sister's body right there behind you, you still choose her!
00:29:16Grandma, when will you wake up? When will any of you wake up?
00:29:22None of you loved her. None of you believed a single word she said. Fine.
00:29:26And I will prove her innocence myself. Search Elidie's bed. Every inch of it.
00:29:33You won't find anything! I never did anything! Ruby is the one who...
00:29:37She's framing me. She always hated me. Even dead she's trying to...
00:29:40My lord, Elidie's side is clean. I guarantee it. There's nothing there. I keep this house myself. I would know...
00:29:58Don't touch that! That's not it!
00:30:05The silver comb, my lord.
00:30:08That's mine. I lost that six months ago.
00:30:11That... Ruby must have put it there. She used to sneak into the room when we were out.
00:30:14She hid it under Elidie's bed to...
00:30:15A brooch. Silver. With a floral clasp.
00:30:18That's my brooch. I lost it last winter.
00:30:21Silver coin, sir. The amount matches exactly that reported as stolen from the church collection box.
00:30:27You see? You finally found it. It was her. It was always her.
00:30:32Do you believe me now, Mama? Do you believe me?
00:30:35Maybe... Maybe Ruby stole all of this and hid it here.
00:30:39She was clever. She planned it.
00:30:42She knew one day someone would search, so she planted everything under Elidie's bed to frame her.
00:30:47Yes. Yes. That's what happened.
00:30:50My daughter is not a thief. My daughter would never steal and frame someone.
00:30:54It's not possible. Not my Elidie.
00:30:58Of course. Even when the proof is right in front of you, it's still my fault.
00:31:04It will always be my fault, won't it, Mama?
00:31:09Ruby did this.
00:31:11She must have snuck in before she died and put everything in there.
00:31:15She hated me. She always hated me.
00:31:19She wanted to destroy me even after she was gone.
00:31:23She did this on purpose.
00:31:34No! No!
00:31:36Please! Don't hurt her. She's my child.
00:31:39Please, my lord. I'm begging you.
00:31:41Kill me instead. Not her.
00:31:43Please! Not her!
00:31:50Mama, if you could have done this for me.
00:31:53Just once.
00:31:55Just one time.
00:31:57Stood in front of me like this.
00:31:59Shielded me like this.
00:32:00But you never did.
00:32:02Because in your heart, from the very beginning, there was only ever one daughter.
00:32:06Wasn't there, Mama?
00:32:08Mama?
00:32:09Mama?
00:32:11Mama?
00:32:13Mama, you have to believe me.
00:32:15Those things aren't mine.
00:32:17I swear.
00:32:18It was Ruby.
00:32:20She was always jealous of me.
00:32:22She hated that you loved me more.
00:32:24She planted everything to frame me.
00:32:27And she admitted it.
00:32:28Remember?
00:32:29All those times before?
00:32:30She said she did it.
00:32:31She confessed every single time.
00:32:32I only said that so you wouldn't get in trouble.
00:32:36I took the blame so Mama would stop fighting.
00:32:40And now you're using that against me too?
00:32:42Now she writes lies in some diary and suddenly everyone believes her?
00:32:47She planned this, Mama.
00:32:48She planned it all just to destroy me.
00:32:52She took the blame for you.
00:32:54And you stand there and call that proof of her guilt.
00:33:01Enough.
00:33:03Enough, Elodie!
00:33:07Ruby told me once.
00:33:09She said she admitted to things she didn't do.
00:33:12She said she did it so everyone would stop fighting.
00:33:15So Elodie wouldn't get in trouble with her mother.
00:33:18She took the blame every time.
00:33:22Because she didn't want this family to fall apart.
00:33:25And I heard her say it and I still didn't.
00:33:30I remember now.
00:33:32She was always so good.
00:33:34She picked my medicine every time and learned which herbs could break a fever.
00:33:39Only she dared cross the boundary stones into rogue territory alone at eight.
00:33:44Because she knew I needed those herbs.
00:33:53How did I forget that?
00:33:55How could I forget?
00:33:59She did come home with scratches that night.
00:34:03I thought she'd been out stealing.
00:34:06It was me.
00:34:07I'm the one who forgot.
00:34:08I let myself be deceived.
00:34:10I let you twist everything and I turned on her.
00:34:12I turned on the only one who ever truly cared whether I lived or died.
00:34:18Grandma!
00:34:21Grandma, I'm here.
00:34:22I'm right here.
00:34:28Grandma, no.
00:34:29Don't let her trick you.
00:34:31People change.
00:34:32She was sweet when she was little.
00:34:34But she grew up and she got jealous.
00:34:36She wanted everything I had.
00:34:38She wanted your love, Mama's love.
00:34:40So she changed.
00:34:40I didn't steal anything.
00:34:42She put those things in my room.
00:34:44You know me, Grandma.
00:34:45You've known me my whole life.
00:34:47I'm your real granddaughter.
00:34:49Please.
00:34:50Please believe me.
00:34:58Grandma?
00:34:59Grandma, please.
00:35:02Mama!
00:35:02Mama, you believe me, right?
00:35:04You know me.
00:35:05You know I would never.
00:35:05Mama, tell them.
00:35:06Tell me the truth, Elodie.
00:35:10Right now.
00:35:11I am telling the truth.
00:35:13I...
00:35:13The truth!
00:35:16Fine.
00:35:17You want to hear it?
00:35:18I'll say it.
00:35:20I took them.
00:35:22The bread, the herbs, the ribbon, the silver coins, the honey, the silver comb, the necklace.
00:35:26All of it.
00:35:27Every single time.
00:35:28It was me.
00:35:29Elodie?
00:35:30What?
00:35:30You're surprised?
00:35:31You shouldn't be.
00:35:33All I ever had to do was cry and you believed me.
00:35:35I didn't even have to try that hard.
00:35:37Because you never wanted to believe Ruby.
00:35:40You were looking for a reason to hate her.
00:35:42No.
00:35:43I didn't.
00:35:44I wasn't looking for reasons to...
00:35:46Yes, you were.
00:35:47You just needed a scapegoat.
00:35:50Something breaks in the house?
00:35:52Blame Ruby.
00:35:53You want to feel like a good mother?
00:35:55Beat Ruby and tell yourself it's discipline.
00:35:59I didn't make you hate her, Mama.
00:36:01I just made it easy.
00:36:16Now you see, that is your real daughter.
00:36:19That is what you raised.
00:36:21And the one you destroyed.
00:36:22The one lying dead in your shed.
00:36:24She was the only person in this house who ever loved you.
00:36:27The only one who called you Mama and meant it.
00:36:30It wasn't me.
00:36:30It was you.
00:36:31Every single time.
00:36:32Every time I was about to believe Ruby.
00:36:34You were right there telling me she was lying.
00:36:37She was faking.
00:36:40The herbs.
00:36:41The silver coins.
00:36:43Every time I started to soften, you pulled me back.
00:36:46And that night, that night in the shed, she was screaming.
00:36:50She was banging on the door.
00:36:52She said she was in pain.
00:36:53Something was wrong.
00:36:54I could hear it.
00:36:55I knew it was different.
00:36:57I walked to the door.
00:36:59My hand was on the latch.
00:37:02And you said, you said, Mama, don't bother.
00:37:05She's faking again.
00:37:06And I listened to you.
00:37:09I listened to you and I walked away.
00:37:11I had opened that door.
00:37:23I didn't do anything wrong.
00:37:26I was disciplining a child.
00:37:28That's what mothers do.
00:37:29I didn't kill her.
00:37:31How was I supposed to know?
00:37:34Every piece of evidence pointed to Ruby.
00:37:36Anyone would have believed it.
00:37:38It's not my fault.
00:37:39It's her.
00:37:40She's the one who planted everything.
00:37:42She's the one who lied.
00:37:44She killed Ruby.
00:37:45Not me.
00:37:46I was a good mother.
00:37:51Seize all three of them.
00:38:03None of this matters now.
00:38:06Nothing you say will change what happened.
00:38:08The three of you, together, you killed my sister.
00:38:14You tormented her day after day, year, year after year, until she died, alone.
00:38:19She will never come back.
00:38:21And none of you will ever have someone who loves you the way she did.
00:38:25That is what you destroyed.
00:38:32Maren, she's dead.
00:38:35Ruby is dead.
00:38:36It doesn't matter anymore whether you believed her or not.
00:38:39She is dead.
00:38:40You have to accept this now.
00:38:42We did this.
00:38:44You, me, Elodie.
00:38:47We killed her, together, with our own hands.
00:38:51Ruby.
00:38:53Ruby!
00:38:59Ruby!
00:39:00Ruby!
00:39:01Ruby!
00:39:02Come out!
00:39:04Mama's here.
00:39:05Mama knows she was wrong.
00:39:08Ruby!
00:39:09You are not permitted to touch the princess.
00:39:11Mama's opening the door now, Ruby.
00:39:13Mama's opening the door.
00:39:14Oh, you can come out now.
00:39:16Please, please, I'm dead.
00:39:18Please, come out.
00:39:19Ruby!
00:39:21Ruby, please!
00:39:22Mama's here!
00:39:24Mama's opening the door, Ruby!
00:39:41Oh, please!
00:39:44My lord, the princess has been draped in the royal shroud.
00:39:46The body is prepared for transport.
00:39:48We await your orders.
00:39:49Not yet.
00:39:51There is something I need to do first.
00:39:55The villagers are gathering, my lord.
00:39:56Do you want us to clear them?
00:39:58No.
00:39:59Let them watch.
00:40:00Let every single one of them hear this.
00:40:07Today, I am here to restore my sister's name.
00:40:11She was not Ruby Hale.
00:40:13Her name is Ruby Vale.
00:40:15She is the blood sister of the Vale Alpha.
00:40:17A rightful heir of the Moonwolf bloodline.
00:40:22The foundling.
00:40:23The thief.
00:40:25The ungrateful stray you all spat on.
00:40:27The child you called Little Red Riding Hood the thief.
00:40:33Her blood is nobler than every single one of you combined.
00:40:37And they, her own family, framed her, torrented her, broke her spirit, and killed her.
00:40:49If she had lived, her identity would have given your family royal protection.
00:40:53Land.
00:40:54Wealth.
00:40:55The eternal honor of a bloodline alliance with the crown.
00:40:58The child you raised for eight years.
00:41:00Fed scraps.
00:41:02Dressed in rags.
00:41:03Locked in a shed.
00:41:05She was your family's only chance.
00:41:07You're one way out of this life.
00:41:09And you destroyed her with your own hands.
00:41:11You're all kneeling now.
00:41:15But where were you when I was alive?
00:41:20Prepare to move out.
00:41:21We're taking my sister home.
00:41:26And then, all three, they will face the Moonwolf Council.
00:41:31Let the elders decide what they deserve.
00:41:34Yes, my lord.
00:41:35The escort is ready.
00:41:50I finally have a name.
00:41:52I have a brother.
00:41:53A family.
00:41:54A bloodline.
00:41:55But if only...
00:41:56If only all of this had come just a little sooner.
00:42:01Murderer!
00:42:05Murderer!
00:42:09Murderer!
00:42:10You killed the princess!
00:42:11You don't deserve to live!
00:42:14I deserve it.
00:42:16Every bit of it.
00:42:17I should have believed you.
00:42:19I should have believed you, Ruby.
00:42:21Why didn't I believe you?
00:42:22No!
00:42:24Shut up!
00:42:24All of you, shut up!
00:42:26You don't know anything!
00:42:36The Moonwolf Council will convene in three days.
00:42:39You will be summoned for trial.
00:42:41The investigation findings and your sentencing will be announced before the full court.
00:42:59By decree of the Alpha, let it be known.
00:43:02Ruby Veil, direct blood of the Veil Royal Line, sister of the...
00:43:06Alpha, rightful heir of the Moonwolf Bloodline.
00:43:09From this day forward, all titles and honors are restored to her name.
00:43:14Her name shall be inscribed in the Royal Spirit Hall beside the late King and Queen.
00:43:21She will rest with her family.
00:43:24Where she always belonged!
00:43:27So small.
00:43:28She was just a child.
00:43:30How could they let this happen to one of ours?
00:43:34So this is what it feels like.
00:43:36To be seen.
00:43:38To be someone's family.
00:43:41I just wish I could have felt it while I was still breathing.
00:43:54Please.
00:43:56I'm begging you.
00:43:57Let me go to the funeral.
00:43:58Just let me see her.
00:43:59One last time.
00:44:00I won't cause any trouble.
00:44:01I just want to say goodbye to my Ruby.
00:44:03Please.
00:44:04No one leaves this cell.
00:44:05Council's orders.
00:44:06Then...
00:44:06Then take this.
00:44:09Please, give this to Lord Adrian.
00:44:11Ask him to place it with Ruby.
00:44:13It was meant for her.
00:44:14It should have always been hers.
00:44:17Please.
00:44:17It's all I have left to give her.
00:44:20No!
00:44:21That's mine!
00:44:22You gave that to me!
00:44:23You can't just take it back.
00:44:24It's my necklace.
00:44:25It belongs to me!
00:44:27It doesn't matter.
00:44:28She's a princess of the Veil Bloodline now.
00:44:30Sister to the Alpha.
00:44:31Do you really think she needs your family trinket?
00:44:40He's right.
00:44:41I don't need it anymore.
00:44:42I don't need any of it anymore.
00:44:58I don't need any of it anymore.
00:45:00This is your room.
00:45:02I had it prepared the year you disappeared.
00:45:04Eight years now.
00:45:05The bedding is changed every month.
00:45:07The flowers are replaced every week.
00:45:10Because I never stopped believing you were alive.
00:45:12I always thought...
00:45:13One day I'd bring you home and you'd walk through this door.
00:45:21It must be really soft.
00:45:23I slept on straw for eight years.
00:45:26And this whole time...
00:45:27This bed was here.
00:45:29Waiting for me.
00:45:32All I had to do was live long enough to walk through that door.
00:45:37Thank you, brother.
00:45:39I didn't know someone was waiting for me.
00:45:41I didn't know anyone in this world was thinking of me.
00:45:44But you were.
00:45:45The whole time.
00:46:00Chief Physician, present your findings.
00:46:04My Lord, Council Members.
00:46:07The following is a complete examination of the body of Princess Ruby Vale.
00:46:11Both knees.
00:46:12Permanent scarring caused by repeated prolonged kneeling.
00:46:15On hard surfaces.
00:46:17The layered scar tissue began at age three or four.
00:46:19This was not one punishment, but years of repeated harm.
00:46:23Neil!
00:46:23Don't get up until you figure out your mistake.
00:46:36Left palm.
00:46:37A deep laceration, never treated, healed on its own.
00:46:40The resulting scar tissue is raised and thickened.
00:46:43Consistent with a cutting injury left to close without stitching or care.
00:46:49Stop making a scene.
00:46:50Pack it by yourself.
00:46:55Right ankle.
00:46:56Frostbite scarring.
00:46:58Tissue damage consistent with prolonged exposure to extreme cold without adequate protection.
00:47:09Ribcage, left side, an old fracture, partially healed, never set, the bone netted crooked.
00:47:14She lived with this injury untreated.
00:47:21Get up.
00:47:22I know you're pretending.
00:47:26Body weight at the time of death, far below the normal range for a wolf cub of her age, severely
00:47:30malnourished.
00:47:31And stomach content at the time of death, empty.
00:47:33Completely empty.
00:47:34This child had not eaten for a very long time.
00:47:37These are all mine.
00:47:39I remember every single one.
00:47:41I just...
00:47:42I never knew there were so many.
00:47:45Guess I was just too used to all of it.
00:47:49The direct trigger of her death was Bloodline Awakening.
00:47:52The princess's wolf attempted to manifest, but her body could not sustain the transformation.
00:47:56However, I must be clear on this point.
00:47:59Bloodline Awakening does not kill a healthy wolf cub.
00:48:02It is a natural process.
00:48:03Under normal circumstances, she would have survived it.
00:48:06The true cause of death is the condition of the body at the time of awakening.
00:48:09Long-term malnutrition.
00:48:11Multiple untreated injuries accumulated over years.
00:48:14A sustained high fever that went without medical attention for days.
00:48:17And finally, confinement in a sealed, unheated space resulting in critical heat loss.
00:48:22Her wolf's awakening did not kill her.
00:48:25Years of abuse had weakened her beyond what any healthy cub could survive.
00:48:31Had she been fed, treated, and cared for, she would be alive today.
00:48:46It's my fault.
00:48:47It's all my fault.
00:48:49Every single thing.
00:48:50All of it.
00:48:51My fault.
00:48:52I did it.
00:48:53I made her kneel.
00:48:56I starved her.
00:48:58I locked her in the dark.
00:48:59I didn't open the door.
00:49:00I heard her screaming, and I didn't open the door.
00:49:02I called her a thief.
00:49:03I called her a liar.
00:49:04I tore her cloak.
00:49:05I told her I should have left her in the snow.
00:49:07I said those things.
00:49:08I said all of those things to my child.
00:49:10To a child who called me Mama.
00:49:12Bring her back, please.
00:49:13Please bring her back.
00:49:16You're the alpha.
00:49:17You're the most powerful.
00:49:19You can do anything.
00:49:20Please, my lord.
00:49:21Bring Ruby back.
00:49:23I'll do anything.
00:49:24Punish me however you want.
00:49:26Kill me.
00:49:26I don't care.
00:49:27Just bring her back.
00:49:29Let me tell her I'm sorry.
00:49:30Just once.
00:49:31Please.
00:49:32Please.
00:49:38Ruby.
00:49:39Ruby.
00:49:40Ruby, Mommy's sorry.
00:49:41Mommy believes you now.
00:49:43Mommy believes everything.
00:49:44Please come back.
00:49:46Please.
00:49:47Please.
00:49:49It's too late, Mama.
00:49:56I am guilty.
00:49:59I loved one child and not the other because of blood.
00:50:07Because Ella Boy was born to my daughter and Ruby was not.
00:50:11That was the only difference.
00:50:12That was the only reason.
00:50:15Ruby gathered my medicine and sat beside me when I was sick.
00:50:19At eight, she entered the rogue forest alone to save me.
00:50:22She came home bleeding and soaked.
00:50:25I called her a thief.
00:50:29A disappointment and told her she was not family.
00:50:33That is what I did.
00:50:35And I will carry it until I die.
00:50:46Ella D. Hale.
00:50:47You have heard the testimony.
00:50:49You have heard the evidence.
00:50:50The stolen items were found beneath your bed.
00:50:53Your own mother and grandmother have confessed.
00:50:55Do you have anything to say?
00:50:57I am just a child.
00:50:58I did not mean for any of this to happen.
00:51:01I did not know she would die.
00:51:02I was just being a kid.
00:51:04Kids do things like that.
00:51:06I did not mean it.
00:51:07A child?
00:51:09She orchestrated years of systematic cruelty and she calls herself a child?
00:51:13They worshipped a lying little monster and tortured the most loyal, noble-blooded girl in the kingdom.
00:51:18Treat her like a common thief.
00:51:19Fools, all three of them.
00:51:21Pampered a serpent and starved a princess.
00:51:23She's not sorry.
00:51:24Look at her face.
00:51:25She's not sorry at all.
00:51:27You haven't changed.
00:51:28You're never going to change, are you?
00:51:31The council will now deliberate on sentencing.
00:51:40Before the council deliberates, hear me.
00:51:44I do not want the death penalty for them.
00:51:54Death is too easy.
00:51:56Kill them and it ends.
00:51:59They would never again see my sister's face or hear her call them mama or grandma.
00:52:04They never have to remember what they did to her.
00:52:07Death is a mercy they do not deserve.
00:52:09I want them to live.
00:52:12I want them to wake up every morning and remember.
00:52:16They must remember her begging to be believed, calling from behind that door and watching them walk away.
00:52:24You will live with this.
00:52:26That is your sentence.
00:52:28That is what you earned.
00:52:37Is it over now?
00:52:39Maybe that's enough.
00:52:42But why am I not relieved at all?
00:52:44Why am I not relieved at all?
00:52:53Why am I not relieved at all?
00:53:12Liar!
00:53:13I'm the liar.
00:53:14I was the one lying the whole time.
00:53:16It was me.
00:53:17I said she was a thief.
00:53:19I was the thief.
00:53:20I stole her life.
00:53:21I stole everything from her.
00:53:26I'm the one who should have been locked in that shed.
00:53:29I'm the one who...
00:53:30Ruby, this isn't over.
00:53:35Maren, get up.
00:53:37Please.
00:53:39Ruby.
00:53:40Mommy's here now.
00:53:42Mama will sleep here too.
00:53:43Mama won't let you be alone anymore.
00:53:54Mama opened the door for you, Ruby.
00:53:56Come out now.
00:53:58Mama opened it.
00:53:59You can come out.
00:54:09Mama, believe me, I really didn't steal anything.
00:54:12Please, Mama.
00:54:14Remember this.
00:54:15These hands are for working, not for stealing.
00:54:20Maren, what are you doing?
00:54:22Maren!
00:54:27Stop it!
00:54:29Stop!
00:54:29It hurts.
00:54:31It really hurts.
00:54:33I should have believed you, Ruby.
00:54:36I should have believed you.
00:54:37It was all my fault.
00:54:40I'll be good.
00:54:42I'll work hard.
00:54:43I'll do it right.
00:54:50See, Ruby?
00:54:52Mama's doing everything you had to do.
00:54:54Mama understands now.
00:54:57There's nothing to do.
00:54:58There's nothing to do.
00:54:58You can't punish yourself into fixing this.
00:55:01That's not how it works.
00:55:06I didn't take it.
00:55:08Mama, I promise.
00:55:09I didn't...
00:55:24I didn't...
00:55:33It was you.
00:55:34It was you.
00:55:35It was you.
00:55:36All of it.
00:55:36It was you.
00:55:38You told me she stole.
00:55:40Every time you said she did it, I believed you.
00:55:42I put her head in the water because you...
00:55:44Get your hands off me.
00:55:46You lied.
00:55:47You lied and I almost drowned her.
00:55:50She was just a child.
00:55:51She was your sister.
00:55:53She was never my sister.
00:55:56You want someone to blame?
00:55:58Fine.
00:55:58Blame me.
00:55:59But you're the one who held her head down, Mother.
00:56:01Not me.
00:56:02Your hands.
00:56:02Your choice.
00:56:03Every single time.
00:56:04Stay here and rot in your guilt.
00:56:06I don't care.
00:56:07But Ruby?
00:56:09Ruby is the reason everything fell apart.
00:56:11And I'm not done with her.
00:56:12Where are you going?
00:56:14To finish what should have been finished a long time ago.
00:56:20Maren!
00:56:20Where are you going?
00:56:21Maren!
00:56:23Where are you going, Mama?
00:56:42Get down on your knees.
00:56:44Don't move until you admit.
00:56:52Don't!
00:56:53Mama!
00:56:53Don't do this!
00:56:55No matter what you do, it won't fix anything.
00:56:57You know that.
00:56:58Dying won't undo what you did to me.
00:57:00I still want you to live.
00:57:02Do you hear me?
00:57:03I want you to live.
00:57:04Mama!
00:57:05Mama, no!
00:57:07Ruby, Mama knows now how scared you were.
00:57:11Maren!
00:57:12Maren!
00:57:16Grandma!
00:57:24Who dares to come here?
00:57:29I need power.
00:57:31Power to do what?
00:57:33I want someone erased.
00:57:34Not just dead.
00:57:35She's already dead.
00:57:37I want her gone.
00:57:38Soul and all.
00:57:39Nothing left.
00:57:39Not even a memory in the wind.
00:57:41And I want the alpha who loves her to die with her.
00:57:46A wolf's soul is bound to its body through blood.
00:57:50As long as the body remains intact and the royal bloodline's protection holds, the soul endures.
00:57:58It can pass into the cycle of rebirth.
00:58:01But if the body is destroyed through ritual, the bond is severed.
00:58:07The soul suffers.
00:58:09No rebirth.
00:58:11No afterlife.
00:58:14If you add blood from someone who shares the dead one's bloodline into the ritual,
00:58:18the severing doesn't just destroy the soul.
00:58:21The living one who shares that blood will be torn apart from the inside as well.
00:58:26So if I use the alpha's blood?
00:58:28The girl's soul is destroyed forever, and the alpha dies from the backlash.
00:58:32One ritual, both gone.
00:58:34You should know.
00:58:34Everything here has a price.
00:58:36Name it.
00:58:36The price will come when it comes.
00:58:38I don't care.
00:58:39Tell me what I need.
00:58:40The potion lets you see souls.
00:58:42The bone shard is the ritual anchor.
00:58:44It must be placed inside the burial chamber, near the body.
00:58:47You'll also need the alpha's blood.
00:58:49Fresh.
00:58:50Even a few drops will do.
00:58:52It's done.
00:59:05Hello, Ruby.
00:59:07It's been a while.
00:59:08You can see me?
00:59:11Elodie?
00:59:13Elodie, can you hear me?
00:59:15Elodie, Mama is dead.
00:59:16She's gone.
00:59:18And Grandma, look at her.
00:59:19She won't eat.
00:59:20She won't talk.
00:59:21Please, you have to take care of her.
00:59:23She's your grandmother.
00:59:24Your blood.
00:59:25Please, Elodie.
00:59:32You had a fever that night.
00:59:34You were burning up.
00:59:36And still you got out of bed to make me my medicine.
00:59:39Ruby, this necklace is yours.
00:59:42It was always yours.
00:59:43From the very beginning, it should have been yours.
00:59:46Grandma, I'm so sorry.
00:59:47Grandma just wants to hold you one more time.
01:00:09Grandma, one more story, please.
01:00:12One more, but then you sleep.
01:00:14Promise.
01:00:36It's so pretty.
01:00:48Grandma, I'm so warm.
01:00:52Grandma is warm, too.
01:01:01Grandma!
01:01:02Grandma!
01:01:03Grandma!
01:01:14Goodbye, Grandma.
01:01:27My mother and grandmother died.
01:01:29They died begging for Ruby's forgiveness and never got the chance.
01:01:33I am the last one.
01:01:34Please, I'm begging you, my lord, let me kneel before my sister.
01:01:39I will never forgive myself if I can't.
01:01:44What are you going to do, Ruby?
01:01:46I'm coming to see you off.
01:01:49One last time.
01:02:02You are my only family.
01:02:04Even if you never come, you are still my only family.
01:02:09Your orders, Alpha.
01:02:10Ruby spent her whole life wanting to be believed.
01:02:13Wanting someone to be kind to her.
01:02:15If I turn this girl away, I'm no different from the people who shut the door on my sister.
01:02:22Let her in.
01:02:23Full guard escort.
01:02:24She doesn't go anywhere alone.
01:02:30No, don't let her in.
01:02:32Brother, please.
01:02:33She's not here to apologize.
01:02:35You don't know what she is going to do.
01:02:42Listen to me, please.
01:02:44I'm right here.
01:03:00My lord, I have no right to be here.
01:03:03I know that.
01:03:04I know I deserve nothing.
01:03:06My mother's last word was Ruby's name.
01:03:08My grandmother died in the snow, holding a wreath she made for Ruby.
01:03:12They never got to tell her they were sorry.
01:03:18I want to say it for them.
01:03:20Just once.
01:03:22Just let me kneel in front of my sister and say what they couldn't.
01:03:25Please.
01:03:26That's all I'm asking.
01:03:28You have one day.
01:03:31Tomorrow, sunset.
01:03:32You're gone.
01:03:44One day, Ruby.
01:03:46That's more than enough.
01:03:48Guess you already know that I can see you.
01:03:51But can you guess what I'm going to do?
01:03:55I'm going to do.
01:04:08Ruby, I'm so sorry.
01:04:10It was me.
01:04:11I stole those things and blamed you.
01:04:13I made Mama turn against you.
01:04:15I'm the reason she never believed you.
01:04:17It was all my fault.
01:04:18All of it.
01:04:19You can hate me, hit me, curse me.
01:04:21I deserve all of it.
01:04:22Just please.
01:04:23Please forgive me.
01:04:32She's lying, brother.
01:04:34She's lying to you.
01:04:35She has something on her, something dark.
01:04:36Look inside her clothes.
01:04:37Please.
01:04:38Just check.
01:04:38Just look.
01:04:42She really does look sorry.
01:04:46Brother, Adrian, come back.
01:04:47She's lying.
01:04:49Everything she said is a lie.
01:04:50Please.
01:05:11You thought dying was the end, didn't you, sister?
01:05:15Don't worry.
01:05:17I'll make sure your dear brother comes to keep you company.
01:05:23No, no.
01:05:24You can't do this.
01:05:25Adrian never hurt you.
01:05:26He let you in.
01:05:28He was kind to you.
01:05:29Why would you want to hurt him?
01:05:31Because he loves you.
01:05:33He built you a shrine.
01:05:34He wrapped you in gold.
01:05:36He gave you a room with fresh flowers.
01:05:38You, a dead girl, get more love than I ever got alive.
01:05:41Why?
01:05:42Why does everyone love you?
01:05:47Good night, sister.
01:05:55Tomorrow, I need you to pay close attention.
01:05:58Don't miss a single moment.
01:06:00Because everything I'm about to do is for you, Ruby.
01:06:04What are you going to do?
01:06:06I'm going to make you watch.
01:06:08Watch the people you love fall apart because of you.
01:06:11Watch them abandon you.
01:06:13Again.
01:06:14Watch them die because of you.
01:06:16Again.
01:06:18Your brother's problem is he loves you too much.
01:06:22So much that he thinks every terrible thing that happened to you, it's his fault.
01:06:29People like that are the easiest to break.
01:06:32You don't even have to lie that much.
01:06:35Just keep reminding them.
01:06:37You were too late.
01:06:39Whatever you want to do, you can do it to me, not to my brother!
01:06:43Mama couldn't hear you, Grandma couldn't hear you, and now your brother can't hear you either.
01:06:48Do you see the pattern, sister?
01:06:50I have loved watching that face since we were children.
01:06:54That exact face.
01:06:55You want to speak, but no sound comes out.
01:06:59You're right, but no one believes you.
01:07:01You won't win.
01:07:03He's not like Mama.
01:07:04You can't fool him.
01:07:06Mama didn't believe me either.
01:07:08In the beginning, remember?
01:07:10She thought you were a good girl.
01:07:11She thought I was the liar.
01:07:14But I turned her around.
01:07:16Your brother is smarter than Mama.
01:07:18Yes.
01:07:19But he's also more fragile.
01:07:22Because he loves you.
01:07:23More than even she ever did.
01:07:26Love is a vulnerability, sister.
01:07:28And you're the one who taught me that.
01:07:36Watch carefully tomorrow.
01:07:38It's the last thing we'll ever do in this world.
01:07:50Before I go, there's something I need to tell you.
01:07:54I'm not asking for forgiveness.
01:07:57This isn't about me.
01:07:59It's something you deserve to know.
01:08:02Then say it.
01:08:03The night Ruby died, I was there.
01:08:05In the house.
01:08:06I heard everything through the wall.
01:08:09She said something.
01:08:10At the very end.
01:08:11She said...
01:08:15My family.
01:08:17Why did you abandon me?
01:08:20If I had always been with you,
01:08:22would I still have died like this?
01:08:25No.
01:08:26I never said that.
01:08:28That's not...
01:08:33That's not true.
01:08:35I never said that.
01:08:37Look at me.
01:08:37I never said that.
01:08:39She's lying.
01:08:55She's lying.
01:08:58Adrian!
01:08:58Her hand!
01:08:59Look at her hand!
01:09:02She took your blood!
01:09:03She has your blood!
01:09:08I'm sorry.
01:09:09I'm so sorry.
01:09:10I didn't mean to upset him.
01:09:12I just thought he should know.
01:09:15She's lying.
01:09:29You have it.
01:09:37royal bloodline
01:09:39same source as the girls
01:09:41pure enough
01:09:51the ritual can proceed
01:09:53but I need the body
01:09:55the body is inside Wintercastle
01:09:58behind a barrier
01:09:59guarded
01:10:00the anchor you planted
01:10:01it's enough
01:10:02I can suppress the barrier
01:10:04from here and open a passage
01:10:05beneath the hall
01:10:06straight to the coffin
01:10:18what's happening
01:10:45stop
01:10:47please stop
01:11:10Brother!
01:11:36The fuse is set.
01:11:39When the bond breaks,
01:11:41the backlash follows the blood.
01:11:43Back to the source.
01:11:49Start.
01:12:23Once the ritual completes,
01:12:25it cannot be undone.
01:12:26The soul will scatter.
01:12:28The backlash will follow the blood.
01:12:30There is no reversal.
01:12:31No second chance.
01:12:34Are you sure?
01:12:36I'm sure.
01:12:37I want her gone forever.
01:12:39Ever.
01:12:52Ever.
01:13:08elevation of the skin?
01:13:11You're too late. You're always too late.
01:13:14You were eight years too late, and now you're too late again.
01:13:18Give her back. Give me back my sister.
01:13:22Your sister? Before you showed up, she was not nothing.
01:13:27A stray. A thief nobody wanted.
01:13:30My mother pulled her out of the snow.
01:13:33My family fed her for eight years.
01:13:35And then you came, and suddenly everyone's on their knees.
01:13:38Suddenly everyone loves her.
01:13:40What about me? What was I?
01:13:42I was the one who was loved, and you took it all away.
01:13:47I hate her. I hate you.
01:13:50I want you all gone. Every last one of you.
01:13:54He can't die.
01:13:56He's the only person in this world who came looking for me.
01:14:15Impossible. The soul was almost gone. Where is this coming from?
01:14:22The bloodline protection. It's activated.
01:14:26Impossible. A dissipating soul can't...
01:14:29I know it. When one of the veils sacrifices their soul to solely protect their family,
01:14:33the bloodline unleashes all its power.
01:14:36It happens once. And only once.
01:14:58These are the same wounds Ruby suffered.
01:15:06Sorry. Sorry, Ruby. Here I am.
01:15:16You've borrowed the power of the forbidden, and now I'm telling you what it takes.
01:15:19Your soul goes nowhere. No rebirth. No rest.
01:15:22You will drift forever. No home. No end.
01:15:25Just you, and the dark, and eternity, Tiff.
01:15:28No. No, that wasn't the deal. You never said!
01:15:31I said the price would come.
01:15:34No! It came!
01:16:02Mom, I never hated you. Not once. Not even when it hurt the most.
01:16:10I just wanted you to believe me.
01:16:12Just once.
01:16:14That's all it would have taken.
01:16:18I said the price would come.
01:16:27Thank you for remembering me, Grandma.
01:16:29At the end.
01:16:31In that world you saw when you lit the matches,
01:16:35we were happy.
01:16:36Weren't we?
01:16:38That's enough.
01:16:41That's enough.
01:17:00Thank you, brother.
01:17:02Thank you for making me a home.
01:17:04I never got to walk through that door.
01:17:06I never slept in this bed.
01:17:08But knowing you kept it ready for me is enough.
01:17:12I won't be cold anymore.
01:17:14Next time,
01:17:16I want to be born into someone's arms.
01:17:19I want to be held from the very first moment.
01:17:22And I want a simple, happy life.
01:17:25That's all.
01:17:28Goodbye, my brother.
01:18:01My darling, mummy's been waiting for you for so long.
01:18:05I'm reborn.
01:18:07Daddy's here.
01:18:09My little princess.
01:18:12Are these my parents?
01:18:15Let me see her.
01:18:17Let me see my granddaughter.
01:18:18Move!
01:18:25They really seem to love me.
01:18:32Welcome to this world, my darling.
01:18:36We picked a name for you, baby.
01:18:39Ruby.
01:18:42Our little Ruby.
01:18:44Bye.
01:18:44Bye.
01:18:44Bye.
01:18:44Okay.
