Rin says she rejected him though, saying she was already partnered with Shirou and she trusts him a lot more.Archer says how much of a failure Shirou is and that he would never be able to defeat a Servant. He does however seem to give him some advice saying that, If you cannot defeat someone, imagine something in your head you can defeat them with, for that is all you will be able to do.
