once they get to the mansion, the group is worried and not sure what to do. Bhaal went to treat the two injured, the triplets left to avoid disturbing them.

(Heath): Perth...are you okay ?
(Perth): I don't know what to do. These blackouts happened from time to time but they have never been so violent. And that man, who was that...?

someone knocks on the door, Curtis goes to open it and sees Leraje, covered in blood.

(Curtis): L-leraje...
(Leraje): Before I lose consciousness:
I...I'm sorry.

The shocked young butler takes Leraje in his arms and goes to lay her on the sofa with the others. He will then warn Bhaal.

(Curtis): Are they okay ?
(Bhaal): They are still not awake and they have a little fever but it's ok...and you ?
(Curtis): uh...Leraje...came back.
(Bhaal): what's going on ?
(Curtis): He's...he's covered in blood.

after Curtis's announcement, Bhaal ran down to the living room to see how his friend was doing.

(Perth): Bhaal please help him.
(Bhaal): don't worry, I'll take care of it. Go see Eurus and Nomad while I treat him...
(William): are you sure you'll be okay ? Is he going to make it ?
(Bhaal): don't worry...
(William): Of course I'm worried, we got screwed. And they are injured.
(Louis): Will, calm down. Let him do his job.
(William): It's complicated to be the leader of an elite team...
(Louis): but you are the only one capable of it...
(William): thank you Louis.
(Bhaal): he is right William. You are a good chef and it will never change.

William smiles before joining the others with Louis, leaving Bhaal alone.
