"Unmei no Yoru" (運命の夜)

The episode begins with a flashback where Rin receives a necklace from her father before he left for a previous Holy War battle. Her father never comes back from the battle but before he left, he managed to tell her that it's her duty as a Tohsaka to obtain the Holy Grail. In the present day, Rin awakes in the middle of the night and upon looking at her necklace becomes depressed at the fact that she failed to summon Saber. Her unhappiness continues up to the next morning, much to Archer's slight annoyance. She, however, is a bit entertained with the fact that Archer makes a great tea. Having said that, since Archer comes from one of the archers classes, Rin wants to know about Archer's real identity. After a while, however, she realizes that Archer doesn't remember his real identity/history. Archer thinks that Rin's imperfect use of summoning that caused him to be this way. Rin, of course, becomes angry and retorts that he's the one who doesn't remember his own identity.

Archer merely shrugs it off and tells her not to worry about it. Rin, however, argues that she worries about it because she doesn't know Archer's strength level. Archer decides to change tactic and tells Rin that she's an excellent master so they should be okay. Smooth, very smooth. Rin decides to change the subjects and points out to Archer that in the war for the Holy Grail there are 7 Masters and 7 Servants so she wonders if all 7 have gathered. Meanwhile, at Shirou's house, Fujimura-sensei is enjoying the fact that she gets to score some free food here. Shirou is grumpy about this and tells his teacher to prepare her own bento instead of relying on Sakura. But Sakura, being the nice girl that she is, doesn't mind doing this for the two of them. Later on, however, Shirou tells Sakura that he appreciates that she helps out everyday but she should take weekends off to do things she wants to do. However, she tells Shirou that she doesn't have anything important to do.

As the two approach the school, however, Sakura realizes that blood is dripping from Shirou's hand. He thinks he probably injured himself when he worked in the garage the night before and tells Sakura not to worry about it. The two are then interrupted by the arrival of Mitsuzuri, Shirou's classmate who's also involved in archery class. Mitsuzuri tells Shirou that one of their classmates, Matou Shinji, has been behaving like a jerk and causing trouble at the archery dojo. Mitsuzuri believes that this is happened after Rin rejected him. After Mitsuzuri left, Shirou narrates how Shinji has actually been his friend since middle school and also happens to be Sakura's older brother. Meanwhile, Rin is now seen secretly conversing with Archer from inside her class. She informs him that there is an enemy nearby. Because of this, she asks him to be on the alert. She also suggests that they investigate it further until everyone has gone home.

At the same time, Shirou is on his way back home when Matou Shinji asks him if he can clean up the dojo. Shinji's classmates/groupies protest about this since it was him who was ordered by Fujimura-sensei to do the clean up. But Shinji tells the girls that Shirou always liked helping others since he was kid so he should be okay. What a jerk. Since Shirou already promised Shinji to help him before this, however, he has no choice but to do the job. Although from the look on his face, it does look as if he's enjoying the job. Meanwhile, Archer warns Rin that an enemy is approaching the rooftop. True enough, a guy in blue armour suit greets Rin and despite Archer's attempt to stay invisible, this guy seems to be able to see Archer standing next to Rin. Rin correctly guesses that the guy is a Servant and the guy confirms her guess by producing a Lance. The guy quickly makes an offensive attack at Rin so Archer has no choice but to stop being invisible and appears in front of the enemy.

Rin also correctly guesses that the Servant is of the Lancer class. In return, Lancer identifies Rin's servant as Archer. Rin then orders Archer to show his strength right now and Archer in response, produces a black and white swords. The two Servants then begin their battle against one another. Their battle, however, causes large noises, which can be heard by Shirou, who decides to check the source of the noise. Meanwhile, Lancer makes a point that he doesn't know an Archer who can wield two swords. In return, Archer tells him that he knows Lancer's identity. Shirou, who is shocked to see the two has now attracts Lancer's attention. Rin panics upon realising that there is still one person left inside the school. At the same time, Lancer manages to find Shirou, and eventually stabs the kid with his Lance. By the time Rin and Archer arrive, Shirou is already on his last breath. Rin, who feels guilty, asks Archer to follow Lancer and find his master.

After this, Rin decides to check on the victim and is surprised when she realises that it is none other than Shirou. Because of this, she decides to use the necklace given by her father to heal Shirou's wound. At the same time, Shirou remembers the promise he made to his father to use his magic power to protect others. When he wakes up, Rin already disappears and the only thing left is her necklace. By the time he returns home, Sakura and Fujimura-sensei have already gone home so they only left message with his dinner. Meanwhile, Rin finds out from Archer that he couldn't find out Lancer's Master. Archer, however, is surprised that Rin used her important necklace to save Shirou. Archer explains to Rin that the rule states that no one is supposed to notice the fight and therefore, witness must be eliminated. Because of this, Archer believes that sooner or later, Lancer will notice that Shirou is still alive. True enough, Lancer is now seen perching on top of Shirou's rooftop.

 Shirou seems to sense his presence and begins to look for weapon to defend himself. He finds the poster that Fujimura-sensei brought and focuses his energy to strengthen the item. Lancer confronts Shirou and tells him that it's not everyday he gets to kill a person twice so he wants to do it right this time. Lancer and Shirou then begin to fight with each other but Shirou loses so he has no choice but to run into the warehouse. Unknown to him, a magic sphere inside the warehouse is slowly being activated. As Lancer corners Shirou in the warehouse, he tells Shirou that he may just be one of the seven. He, however, think it doesn't matter because this is the end. Shirou tells himself that he won't die meaninglessly, activating his seal. Much to Shirou's surprise, a figure appears from the magic sphere and attacks Lancer before Lancer manages to kill him. The figure then introduces herself as a Servant called Saber and asks Shirou if he is her Master. Shirou, who's entranced by her beauty, finds himself unable to answer the question.
