A mysterious man confronts a young mother and her five-year-old son Leo, suspecting the boy is Arthur's child. He forcibly examines the boy to test his bloodline, but finds only normal human vitals. When the mother intervenes, threatening to call the police over the physical battery, the man is challenged but leaves them. He then orders his assistant to investigate the woman's background, particularly her debts, vowing to manipulate her situation to make her 'willingly walk right into my castle.'
