The Count Of Monte Cristo Season 1 - Episode 6 -

We open not in Paris, but in the slums of Marseille. In a heartbreaking flashback, the young Edmond Dantès watches his father starve to death—a death directly caused by the conspiracy of Danglars, Fernand, and Villefort. This isn’t just backstory; it’s a reminder. The Count isn’t playing a game. He is a wound that never healed. The first domino falls hard. The greedy innkeeper Caderousse (the one man who could have saved Edmond but didn’t) makes a fatal error. Thinking he can outsmart the Count, he attempts to burgle the Monte Cristo estate.
