Short filmTranscript
00:13All of you, out.
00:17Ten grand an hour?
00:19Just to smell our necks?
00:20Seriously, easiest money ever.
00:22Did you see his eyes?
00:23Blood red?
00:24That's not normal.
00:31Still nothing.
00:32Master, we've tested 300,000 people.
00:35Not one triggered a response to the curse.
00:49I've tripled the dose.
00:50It should hold for now.
00:52It won't.
00:52We tripled the dose last week and I still haven't slept in 17 straight days.
00:56The doctors confirmed it, Master Asher.
00:57One month.
00:58If we don't find her, it hits your heart.
01:04My son, you have one month.
01:06The Nightthorn curse claims you on your 30th birthday.
01:10I have nothing left to give you.
01:11So this is it?
01:12You came to watch me die?
01:13I came to tell you how to end it.
01:15There's a passage in the Codex you've never seen.
01:21Proximity alone won't work.
01:22To truly suppress the curse, she must complete the Thorn Vow.
01:27A full and willing union of flesh and blood with an heir.
01:31You're only telling me this now.
01:33Because I only just confirmed that you're out of time.
01:35And she has to do it willingly.
01:38That's the second condition.
01:40Willingly.
01:45Run the ad.
01:4610,000 an hour for a sleep assistant.
01:49Make it irresistible.
01:50Let her come to me.
02:07Grandma still needs $4,300 for surgery.
02:10Tuition is due next week.
02:12One hour here equals 60 at the cafe.
02:25That scent.
02:26Could it be her?
02:27The ambrosia carrier?
02:30You.
02:31I'm Chloe.
02:32I'm here about the sleep assistant job.
02:36Alert all three heirs.
02:38We found her.
02:39The ambrosia bearer.
02:40We actually found her.
02:41Um, where do I go for the interview?
02:46Mr. Blackford, the contract says sleep assistants only.
02:51Nothing else.
02:57Quiet.
02:58Don't move.
03:01You're sent.
03:02I've been looking for this.
03:07Mr. Blackfield, your hand is too warm.
03:14And she has to do it willingly.
03:15That's the second condition.
03:21Finally, sleep.
03:27So this is the 10 grand an hour job.
03:40So, it's her.
03:49Morning, kitty.
03:51Sleep well last night?
03:54Who are you?
04:04Ezra, Asha's brother.
04:06And from now on, your scent is my problem.
04:11Asha's paying you to fix his insomnia.
04:14But my heart's racing at 160.
04:16How are you going to fix me?
04:22Let go!
04:23That's not in the contract!
04:26Contracts can be revised.
04:40Ezra.
04:41Get your hands off her.
04:47Come on, Asher.
04:48Don't be selfish.
04:50Her scent affects my curtmarks, too.
04:51Unless you'd rather watch me die.
04:54He's mine.
04:55I found her first.
04:56Our bloodline's curse doesn't care who came first.
04:59And neither do I.
05:03Sweet girl.
05:05I've been nothing but trouble for you.
05:11Grandma, you're all I have.
05:13I'm going to get the money.
05:15I promise.
05:26So you're the sleep assistant.
05:30Hi.
05:31I'm Chloe.
05:33Asha and I have had a marriage agreement for eight years.
05:36The Blackthorne family requires a woman of noble blood.
05:39Not a girl like you.
05:41You must not leave.
05:43However, my purpose in coming today is to make you understand.
05:48The Blacklicity name her in emanating Blasens from you.
05:51I claimed it all eight years ago.
05:54Whether Asha lives or dies, that was never my concern.
05:57Don't you care if he dies?
06:00Care?
06:01Asha lives, I get my title.
06:02He dies, I get his estate.
06:04Either way, I win.
06:06One hundred thousand.
06:08Leave.
06:08Mr. Blacktailed hired me.
06:10Unless he fires me, I'm not leaving.
06:12So you're choosing the hard way.
06:19Let me go!
06:21Ascent?
06:22That's all you are.
06:24A trick of biology.
06:25Girls like you don't belong there.
06:33Walk away on your own, or I'll make sure neither of you are a problem.
06:41No!
06:43No!
07:03The contract is void.
07:05Tell your family.
07:07Blackthornes don't take a wife who uses hired hands on women.
07:11Asha, I was only-
07:12Get out!
07:22Do those marks hurt?
07:25No.
07:32My grandma.
07:33Fluid in her lungs.
07:35We're still $4,000 piece and $300 short for the surgery.
07:40Call medical.
07:42Get a bed ready at Blackthorn Private Hospital.
07:44Bring her in this afternoon.
07:46I didn't ask you to-
07:47Then work it off.
07:53Where are we going?
08:00From now on, every label answers to you.
08:17Can you keep a secret?
08:24Will you hold your hand, among the flames?
08:32Honey, you're a shipwrecked, with your heart.
08:48Ah!
08:49Ah!
09:05Who are you?
09:06I'm Chloe, the sleep assistant.
09:09We can let go now.
09:1420 years.
09:16We looked for 20 years.
09:20Mr. Blackthorn just bought those.
09:22I-
09:25They don't fit.
09:26Asher can buy you a new pair.
09:27So can I.
09:28Now be quiet.
09:29I'm taking you back.
09:30Ah!
09:40So this is what ambrosia smells like.
09:42Why is this dress so tight?
09:48Ah!
09:50Ah!
09:50Ah!
09:50Ah!
09:51Ah!
09:54As in you...
09:57A back this beautiful deserves to be seen.
10:02Ah!

15:06I'll go back, but I have a condition.
15:09What condition?
15:10No more lies. Not about anything.
15:24Running from me.
15:29Your contract's up, Chloe.
15:31Are you firing me?
15:33Don't mind Asher. He's just bad at asking nicely.
15:36We want you to sign a new contract.
15:39What new contract?
16:01One that never ends.
16:03You're staying with us forever.
16:05You're going to be ours.
16:07All three of us.
16:08Are you insane?
16:10You're brothers! I can only choose one!
16:14You don't get to choose.
16:15No!
16:18No!
16:22No!
16:26No!
16:26No!
16:29No!
16:30No!
16:32No!
16:32No!
16:33That mark...
16:34It's in the family codex!
16:36The crown mark...
16:38That mark, only the Blackthrone Queen has it.
16:47What are you? All of you, what is this?
17:05Marcus, get mother. Now.
17:18Six hundred years, and it's finally appeared. What does that mean?
17:24Two kinds of ambrosia bearers, one suppresses it. The other bears the Thorn Crown, the Promised Queen. Only she can
17:36end it.
17:36How? On the Blood Moon, she completes the Thorn Vow with all three. Her light ends the curse.
17:44But, but, the ritual takes her life. The last Queen, hundred years ago, didn't survive.
17:52Then we don't do it. If we don't, all of us die before thirty. If we do it, she dies.
17:56If we don't, we die. What kind of sick curse is this?
17:58Wait, that's it? That's my only choice? Watch you all die. Take your place?
18:06Give her some space. She can't leave. If she's away from us more than 72 hours, the curse...
18:12I know. I know. I already blocked the garage exit. She's not going anywhere.
18:18Volume 7. Three pages we still can't make sense of. If there's another way, it's in there.
18:33I won't let you die. You're dying too. What makes you think you can promise that?
18:39Volume 7. I'll do whatever it takes to get through those last three pages. There has to be another way.
18:46Volume 7. Until then, you're not going anywhere.
18:51Ashul. Are you scared?
18:57Not of dying. Of losing you.
19:01No.
19:10Don't forget.
19:22The Shadow.
19:22The Shadow.
19:24The Shadow.
19:25The Shadow.
19:29Yes, that's fine.
19:30I mean everything.
19:30The Shadow.
19:31Why?
19:31Report is in. The curse spread 40% faster in eight hours. The crown mark triggered a backlash.
19:38So the curse knows the cure's here, and it's speeding up, pushing us toward the ritual?
19:42Yes. At this rate, if the ritual isn't performed, the marks will reach your hearts within 30 days.
19:52Yesterday, they were still on my wrist. Overnight, they reached my elbow. Pretty fast.
20:0230 days? You've only got 30 days left?
20:05Chloe, sit down.
20:06Then do the ritual!
20:07No.
20:08You're all going to die, and you're still saying no?
20:14Three pages in Volume 7 are still being decoded. Oxford's best are on it. We'll have answers in 72 hours.
20:20Until then, no decisions.
20:2372 hours. Wait.
20:26Asher cancelled the marriage deal for some poor college girl.
20:31I know. Ambrosia. My family has searched for her for 300 years.
20:36Is your family cursed too?
20:41Same curse. Same bloodline. We split 600 years ago. They bear black thorn marks. We bear frost. Same cure. Ambrosia.
20:51So you need her too?
20:53More than that. The curse only breaks with both families' heirs. They only have half the codex.
21:00I leave for New York the day after tomorrow. You get me close to her, I get Ashen back for
21:05you.
21:05She's just some nobody. If you want her, why not just take her?
21:10If she's forced, it won't work. It has to be her choice. So she has to leave Black Throne on
21:15her own.
21:15You drive them apart. I'll be there to catch her.
21:28You look like you need something sweet.
21:36I didn't order this.
21:38It's on me. I'm Sebastian. Just got in from London. Mind if I sit?
21:43I'm a fragrance chemist at Oxford.
21:47Your scent's unusual. Vanilla and peach.
21:51But the base has this warmth I can't quite place.
21:56You can smell that?
21:57Relax. I've studied natural human scent for 15 years.
22:01It's extremely rare. Only three documented cases.
22:04A scientist studying scent?
22:06A scientist who's very curious about your scent.
22:09Maybe we could be friends.
22:10A scientist who's very curious about your scent.
22:18It can't work here to the Fox one away.
22:23Who is this guy?
22:24Facial recognition. Got nothing. His identity's been scrubbed.
22:28Bring in team four.
22:30Starting tonight, her detail goes from four guards to twelve.
22:33Master, isn't that a bit...
22:37A man with a scrubbed identity just happens to sit across
22:40from her. You buy that?
22:45Asher.
22:47Someone's getting close to her.
23:04Karen!
23:04Karen!
23:05Karen!
23:06Karen!
23:07Karen!
23:09Karen!
23:10Don't. Don't come closer.
23:12I can't control it right now.
23:25Your marks run deeper than theirs. Why?
23:28Join special forces at 17. Every op, the curse spread faster. They came back with medals. I came back with
23:33more marks. This one was Afghanistan. They got the bullet out, not the curse.
23:37Does it hurt?
23:39Not now. Never feared dying. Nearly died twice out there, but no, I'm afraid.
23:45Afraid of what?
23:46That you'll do the ritual to save us, Chloe. If it comes to that, choose yourself. It marks them what
23:51you die for me.
23:55This time, it felt different.
23:59Three seconds. Completely gone. Your power's getting stronger.
24:04Master Chiron! The team cracked the first page of Volume 7.
24:09Only the destined Queen can end it. Draw all three heirs' curse, then burn it with the crown.
24:14The price is...
24:18Keep going.
24:19Queen's entire life force. But if all three heirs give ten years with 120 seconds before her life force fades,
24:27she can be revived same only.
24:28Ten years each? For one life?
24:31Worth it.
24:32You don't get a say in this. We've already decided.
24:35Wait, Ashla, you're 30. Ten years off that. You'd only make it to...
24:38Better than dead now.
24:39Still two pages left. The Oxford team needs at least two more weeks.
24:42Pay more. Ten times more. I want it done in a week.
24:46Yes, Your Grace.
24:48120 seconds. What if one of you hesitates?
24:53We won't.
24:56They're decoding Volume 7. Once the ritual's done, I'm finished. If Asher dies, I lose everything.
25:03I won't be replaced.
25:05Then we move before the ritual.
25:08Frostthorn Extract. If this touches an ambrosia carrier's skin, it seals her scent for 48 hours.
25:1348 hours? And after that?
25:15While it's sealed, their curse marks flare unquatched.
25:18In 48 hours, they'll reach the heart. Then they have two choices.
25:22Do the ritual and let her die, or hand her over.
25:24I can buy time. Either way, she's mine.
25:28What about me?
25:29Once Asher loses the cure, he'll be weak. A weak man always needs someone beside him. That's your chance.
25:37My couture shows at the Met in two weeks. This year's theme is Curse and Redemption.
25:43Is it about your curse?
25:45No. It's about you. All 36 looks were inspired by you.
25:51You're my ultimate muse, and I want you to walk the final look yourself.
25:55Me? I can barely walk in these things.
25:59In my designs, you don't need to walk. You just stand there and take everyone's breath away.
26:05Chloe.
26:08Put it on.
26:11This is... a little too...
26:16Ezra! Ezra, I'll do it myself!
26:22Chloe...
26:23When you wear this dress, my curse marks feign three times faster.
26:28You're my finest creation.
26:32She can model in your show, but I'll be at every fitting from now on.
26:36Asher, you know nothing about passion.
26:38I know her body better than anyone.
26:41What stays covered, what doesn't.
26:43That's my call.
26:48Why are you suddenly going through your mum's things?
26:51I need to know if she was...
26:53like me.
27:10What is it, sweetheart?
27:12Edward Blackthrown?
27:14He's Asher's father.
27:18My mother's name was Elaine.
27:20She was the last Ambrosia carrier.
27:22It's all in this diary.
27:25I've waited 21 years for this day.
27:28Edward imprisoned her for three years.
27:30Used her like a drug.
27:31She escaped pregnant.
27:32He hunted her down.
27:33She died when I was six.
27:34Your family killed my mom!
27:35And now you want to use me the same way?
27:37Edward used your mother like a tool.
27:39Not a person. That was his greatest sin.
27:41He paid for it with his life.
27:43And your sons? How are they any different?
27:45They locked me in that estate and won't let me leave.
27:47Edward didn't care if she lived or died.
27:49My sons would sooner die than let you do that ritual.
27:52Same thing?
28:04How long were you standing out there?
28:06All of it.
28:08You knew what your father did, didn't you?
28:12I was eight.
28:13He locked her underground.
28:15She was screaming.
28:16He called it treatment.
28:17Later I found out...
28:19She was your mother.
28:22Chloe, I knew her.
28:23I didn't know you were her daughter.
28:23The codex only described Ambrosia.
28:25No names, no photos.
28:26But you used the same methods he did.
28:28Big money.
28:29A locked estate.
28:30No way out.
28:31My father never took a hit for her.
28:32Never dressed her in couture.
28:33Never stood before her and admitted he was afraid.
28:35I'm risking everything to find another way.
28:36Hate my father all you want, but don't put his sins on me.
28:39I need time.
28:49You look like you're having a rough day.
28:51I just found out my employer's family may have killed my mom.
28:54What do you think?
28:56Wanna talk about it?
28:57Sometimes it's easier with a stranger.
28:58It's a family.
28:59Very wealthy.
29:00I work for them.
29:01They need me.
29:01For something.
29:02I don't fully understand, but they also keep me close.
29:04Don't really let me leave.
29:05But sometimes I just don't know.
29:06Stuck with a family that needs you to survive.
29:08You just don't know if it's love or if you're just the cure.
29:12You're right.
29:12I don't know.
29:13Chloe, if someone loved you, they'd give you a choice.
29:16They wouldn't keep trapping you.
29:19Here's my private number.
29:22If you ever need someone outside all this, call me.
29:30That's him.
29:31Same guy from the school.
29:33Run a full ID check.
29:34I want everything on him.
29:36Copy.
29:42We ran the global databases three times.
29:44This man does not exist.
29:46The card he gave Chloe says Sebastian Reed, Oxford University.
29:49Contacted Oxford.
29:50No such person in that department.
29:52No identity.
29:54No record.
29:55Runs into Chloe twice.
29:56That's not coincidence.
29:58He's moving on her.
29:59Do we take him?
30:00No.
30:01That kind of clean white needs serious backing.
30:03We watch him first.
30:04Find out who's working for.
30:06Your grace, one more possibility.
30:08An old record.
30:10Thirty years ago, a branch was cast out of the family.
30:12The Thornhields.
30:13Thornhield.
30:14My grandfather erased them from the family.
30:15Why?
30:16The file is sealed at the highest level.
30:18I don't have access.
30:19Only the head of the family can open it.
30:20Open it.
30:22Thornhield split from us six hundred years ago.
30:25Same blood, same curse.
30:27They bear frost stone and grandfather cast them out.
30:30So this Sebastian, he's one of the Thornhields.
30:32And he's after Chloe.
30:33From now on, Chloe's security is at the highest level.
30:36Twelve guards, three shifts, around the clock.
30:39Ciaran, you lead it yourself.
30:41And that man?
30:42Find him.
30:43But don't touch him yet.
30:44I want to know exactly what Thornfield has left.
30:46Then we wipe them out in one move.
30:48How sure are you going to tell her?
30:50He's shaken off by what she learned about our father.
30:53Tell her and other families after her and you'll break.
30:55Stop them first.
30:57The more secrets you keep, the deeper the rift gets.
31:21The final look.
31:23Only I get to dress you for this one.
31:25This is even more revealing than before.
31:27More beautiful.
31:29Because I added one last detail.
31:32Ezra.
31:37I've designed a thousand dresses.
31:40This is the only one I made with my hands shaking.
31:43When you step out, the world wants your name but only we know you and what you truly are.
31:50Five minutes of preparation for the show.
32:02Enjoy your last night in the spotlight, you little nobody.
32:06One of your lights.
32:34All right, let's have a funny talk on the show.
32:34And you guys have a funnyGirls to back Fikem.
33:02I'm so sorry.
33:05I'm fine.
33:07Really.
33:23Her scent is gone!
33:25All units, lock down the venue.
33:27Find the woman in the black suit.
33:28Move!
33:29Someone tampered with her!
33:31Get her out of here.
33:32Now!
33:37Your scent's been sealed.
33:39Don't talk.
33:40Hold on.
