I won't fight for Stephen. He's our father's worst enemy!
AlienaAnd the only man who can give you back your title.
I won't ride into battle alongside William and his henchmen! I'll kill them first!

AlienaWilliam Hamleigh burned it down and murdered Tom. He tried to burn me too, but Alfred put out the flames.

Aliena!
[They kiss]
Aliena[Crying] Is it really you?
[Smiling] Yes.
AlienaI followed your work.
You left Alfred?
[Aliena uncovers the baby]
He's mine? [Aliena smiles. Jack cries] He's mine. [Aliena nods]
Aliena[Putting the baby in his arms] He won't break.
Aliena, he's beautiful. What's his name?
AlienaI haven't chosen one yet. Shall we call him Jack?
No. No. No, Jack's the father I never knew. Let's name him after the father I did know.
AlienaTom.
Tom.
A storm is coming. I'll go check the cathedral for cracks. You should take Tom back before he gets wet.
AlienaGod forbid anything should happen to your precious cathedral.
What did you say?
AlienaI said cathedral first, family second.
That's not true. It's my work.
AlienaIt's your life, Jack.
