Episode 5 Scene by Scene

  1. 00:00: Searching the Secret Alchemy Warehouse

    Julian walks into the hidden alchemical laboratory alongside Maeve and a female knight. Shelves line the room, packed with medicine bottles marked with Julian's name. Every single glass vial sits empty on the racks before them.

  2. 00:10: Counterfeit Seals and Corruption Runes

    Julian inspects a ledger stamped with his mark. Maeve studies it under a magnifying glass and identifies it as a counterfeit copy. The knight uncovers crates of corruption runes and crystals, and Julian gives the seal mold to Maeve.

  3. 00:30: Uncovering the Deadly Human Trials

    A male guard delivers records from the lower district to the central table. Maeve checks the paperwork against the lab notes. She tells Julian the tonic was never medicine, and Julian realizes civilians are on their fifth day of tests.

  4. 00:45: Ambushed by the Pale Commander

    A pale commander leads armed soldiers into the warehouse with an anonymous tip. Julian notes the warrant was signed before nine in the morning, long before they arrived. The commander ignores him and locks Julian in handcuffs for treason.
