Volume V Chapter 96-117 Finale
00:30 96 At Danglars’s contract signing Monte Cristo reveals a newly found waistcoat letter tying Andrea to Caderousse. Police arrive to arrest Andrea as an escaped convict for murder, but he has already fled elsewhere.
24:30 97 Eugénie and Louise immediately enact their escape plan, disguise Eugénie as Louise’s brother, use the passport and theater letters Monte Cristo provided, pack their trunk, and leave for Italy through Brussels.
38:33 98 Andrea steals the wedding jewels, flees by cab and horse, hides in an inn chimney, drops into Eugénie and Louise’s room, is caught by police, and the exposed women depart for Brussels amid attention.
1:05:37 99 Madame Danglars seeks help from Debray, then Villefort. She asks Villefort to let Andrea escape to avoid scandal, but he refuses. He has bigger worries at home, and Andrea has already been caught.
100 Recovering, Valentine sees Monte Cristo, who reveals watching her for nights, substituting poison for healthy drinks. He gives her red liquid, telling her to feign sleep when the killer soon to be revealed arrives after midnight.
101 Pretending sleep, Valentine saw her stepmother poison her drink. Monte Cristo returned, promising a safety plan. He gave her a drug, emptied some poison to fake consumption, and left through a secret door.
102 Madame de Villefort confirms Valentine's death and disposes of the poison. Monte Cristo secretly replaced it, which Dr. d'Avrigny identified, causing the killer to collapse as servants fled.
2:10:41 103 Noirtier warns Maximilien, who finds Valentine dead. He carries Noirtier to her side. Maximilien, d'Avrigny, and Noirtier compel Villefort to swear vengeance, giving him three days.
104 While Valentine is prepared for burial, Villefort obsesses over Benedetto. Monte Cristo takes five million francs from Danglars, forcing the banker to gather cash, burn papers, and flee his creditors.
105 Monte Cristo follows a suicidal Maximilien, revealing he is Edmond Dantès. The Count stops him by promising happiness and requires him to live with him for one month.
3:23:51 106 Debray finalizes Madame Danglars's secret wealth, contrasting her greed with the poverty of Mercédès and Albert. Albert enlists and sends his mother to Marseille.
107 Andrea, imprisoned in La Force, hopes Monte Cristo will save him. When Bertuccio visits, Andrea suggests Monte Cristo is his father. Bertuccio promises to return tomorrow with the real name.
4:16:39 108 Villefort prepares for Benedetto's trial while Noirtier finds peace. Villefort confronts his wife, Mme de Villefort, about the four deaths she caused and demands she use her saved poison on herself before he returns.
109 Andrea's sensational trial draws a crowd. Socialites Beauchamp, Château-Renaud, and Debray exchange rumors, with Debray suggesting young Edward is the poisoner in the Villefort deaths.
110 Andrea, calm, admits being a criminal but refuses his name. When he declares Villefort is his father, the chaos ends with Villefort acknowledging the truth and staggering out, forcing a trial postponement.
5:10:03 111 Regretting his demand, Villefort finds his wife and son, Edouard, dead by poison. Monte Cristo reveals his identity (Edmond Dantès), but is horrified that his vengeance resulted in the boy's death.
112 Maximilien and Monte Cristo discuss the fallen before leaving Paris. In Marseille, Count visits Mercédès, revealing his vengeful methods. She expresses regret over marrying Fernand and wishes only for Albert's happiness.
6:04:38 113 Revisiting Château d’If, the Count relives his suffering, finds Faria’s manuscript as divine approval of his vengeance, then urges despairing Maximilien to wait until October 5 on Monte Cristo island for happiness.
114 Danglars withdraws five million, is shadowed by Peppino, kidnapped by Vampa’s bandits, and locked in the catacombs, still believing his remaining fortune will easily buy his freedom.
6:59:07 115 Starving Danglars waits for ransom demands; Peppino offers meals at extortionate prices. A chicken costs heavy. Outraged, Danglars bargains in vain and finally agrees, paying a fortune for every bite while imprisoned.
116 Danglars pays a fortune for every meal until only a fraction remain. Starving, he repents. Monte Cristo reveals himself as Edmond Dantès, forgives him, orders food, and frees him with the last 50,000 francs.
117 On Monte Cristo island, Maximilien swallows the green elixir, “dies,” awakens to find Valentine alive. Monte Cristo gifts them his fortune, sails away with Haydée, leaving the famous last words: “wait and hope!”
