Ep. 11: Kiritsugu Rejects the Corrupted Grail's Offer of Global Genocide

During the final duel between Kiritsugu and Kirei, Saber defeats Berserker. A black ooze from the Grail traps Kiritsugu in an illusion created by Angra Mainyu, who appears as Irisviel and Illya to offer him victory. The entity reveals the Grail is corrupted, seeking to fulfill wishes through global genocide. Kiritsugu rejects this, realizing his philosophy of sacrificing the few for the many is flawed, and is cursed with a shortened lifespan. Outside, Kirei begs for the wish to find meaning, but Kiritsugu shoots him. Saber arrives and faces Archer, who demands she become his wife. Kiritsugu intervenes, using his two remaining Command Seals to force Saber to destroy the Holy Grail with Excalibur.
