Sorin’s true allegiance is revealed

Sorin enters the munitions bunker armed and confronts Judson, initially posing as an ally with a death threat against Fenric. Judson counters by unveiling Sorin’s hidden ties to the Curse of Fenric, exposing him as one of the Wolves of Fenric. This confrontation strips away Sorin’s façade, revealing his deeper allegiance to an ancient malevolent force and transforming the conflict from a mere battle against a man into a struggle against a curse woven into time itself. The revelation escalates the stakes, forcing the Doctor and Ace to recognize the true nature of their enemy. key_dialogue: [ SORIN: It's time to die, Fenric. SORIN: Because I speak English.
