- Gwendolyn, it's worth fighting for.

And to die for as well?

Lucy said it's related to my death.

What? No, it's about justice, freedom,

enlightenment and the beginning of a new era.

I'll be gone in a moment.

Wait! We must meet again.

Here or better in my office.

A key... I'll hide it with a map inside the clock.

It'll lead you to my office.

I'm lying here undressed...

In bed already?

- I'm all alone.

- That could change soon.

Even if Mr. Bernhard let you in,

you'd never get past my mum, aunt and grandmother unnoticed.

Good evening.

Is it possible you lured me here with empty promises?

Okay.

Any unusual occurrences?

No.

How about you? Everything alright with the inner circle?

- Who drives the fanciest car?

- William de Villiers, I suppose.

William de Villiers? Yet another uncle?

Yes. He lives in Singapore and manages the Lodge's ties to the global financial market.

He's one of the wealthiest people in the world and my godfather.

Since my father's death he sends me money,

but hasn't shown up here before.

Your family is odd.

Yeah.

My mother moved to France when I was twelve.

She lives with my brother and her new beau.

And I stayed here with Falk.

Your mother left you when you were twelve?

With the Lodge? Weren't you lonely?

Sometimes.

Do you pity me now?

The Lodge is my family.

- They know me best.

- Don't say that.

I know you better.

And you're not getting rid of me.

I can promise you that.

Gwen, what's going on here?

Mum!

You could have knocked.

The lack of privacy in this house...

Always a pleasure to see you.

- I'll be off. Bye.

- Bye.

Hey! I was your age once. I know how it feels.

Gwendolyn. I just don't want you

to trust him more than yourself.

The Diamond so cold.

The Ruby so shiny.

A lion follows her...

deep down...

His eyes are green.

Gwendolyn!

Aunt Maddie!

Aunt Maddie, what are you doing here?

A Ruby heart ...

a lion gives it a push with his paw, it falls...

- What?

- It smashes into hundreds of tiny pieces.

Yet they aren't pieces but drops of blood!

- What does it mean?

- My dear child! Protect your heart.

It is in danger.

Come down with me to the kitchen?

I have a sudden craving for chocolate cake.

If you ask me that was clearly

a warning about Gideon.

According to the Lodge's animal symbolism, he is the lion,

and your heart ...

- Won't shatter into pieces.

Did it finally happen?

It'd be easier to find a time and place if we weren't both time travellers.

Charlotte Montrose, my dear!

The Lodge needs you more than ever.

If only Gwen wasn't so unprepared and unsuitable.

We're at an impass with "The Green Rider".

There was a book, but it's out of print.
