Part 2: the thrilling conclusion you waited for is not here yet.

Edmond, who now calls himself the count of monte cristo, has started off with some charity: he gave a large diamond to somebody for information on the current era (which is 14 years off), and finds out several things:
a: his wife married his enemy Fernand, who mysteriously got rich quick and is now Count Morcerf. He has one son: Albert.
B: His old enemy Danglers is now an excellent banker
C: His corrupt judge had a bonapartist father who is now bound to a wheelchair (Villefort). The father's (Noirtier) granddaughter Valentine is the only family who actually loves him. Valentine is planning to escape her arranged marriage to marry Maximillian, the son of the merchant whom Monte Cristo used to work for.

Upon hearing all this, the count saves his old friends from financial ruin and then departs on a yacht, vowing he will devote his life to revenge.
