After telling the others the location of the Cave of Miracles Shirou goes back to the church where his grandfather and father are waiting for him. His grandfather orders him to tell them what happened after yelling at him for being stupid and not taking this seriously.
Shirou explained what Ectris revealed about the grail before his grandfather orders him to his room.

Kirei and Risei report the news to Tokiomi, who replies that if it's true then all they need to do to claim the grail for themselves is to kill Ectris and Shirou.
Risei agrees, happy to finally have an excuse to kill his grandson, and ends the call. However just as he turns to his son he feels a pain in his chest. He looks down to see three black keys stabbed through his chest. He coughs feeling blood slip out of his lips and looks behind him to see Kirei glaring at him before his body falls to the ground.

Kirei looked down at the dead body of his father before ordering assassin to get rid of it. He then went to his and Shirou's room.

Shirou looks up from where he is sat on their bed as his father enters the room. "What happened?" He asked when he notices the blood on his father's hand and looks at him confused.

"I killed him." Kirei answered as he sat beside his son and hugged him. "He wanted to hurt you."

Shirou hugged his father back. "Are you ok?" He asked whilst stroking his father's hair.

"I'm fine, but we need to fo something about Tokiomi. I won't let him hurt you." Kirei replied as he tightened his hold.

Tosaka residence

Gilgamesh, who now has reclaimed his memories of Ectris, is furious with Tokiomi after hearing his orders and kills him brutally.
He then marches out of the house and heads to the cave, since he doesn't know where Ectris's villa is.
