Airdate: 2011-Dec-10

Episode summary:

Rider and Waver, unexpectedly arrive at Einzbern Castle. Rider declares his intention to have a peaceful discussion with her and Archer on the subject of kingship and the wishes they want the grail to grant. Saber argues a King should serve his people selflessly and wishes to use the grail's power to save Britain. Rider criticises her, saying that Saber's emotional distance from her subjects led to their dissatisfaction and proposes his own ideal, namely that people should serve the king, whose extravagant ambitions inspire them in turn. Their talk is interrupted by the arrival of the Assassins. When they rebuff Rider's offer to join the feast, Rider summons his Noble Phantasm "Ionian Hetairoi," the Armies of Macedonia, composed of his loyal soldiers who also became Servants after their death. Rider and his army easily decimate every single Assassin. With their meeting over, Rider tells Saber he no longer recognises her as a king and departs. A conflicted Saber reveals to Iri that one of her knights left Camelot because he was dissatisfied with her rule.
