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?
09:49Don't move.
09:51You'll catch the zipper.
09:54As in, you-
09:57A back this beautiful deserves to be seen.
10:02Ah!
10:05My curse marks only fade when I touch you, Chloe.
10:09So from now on, I'm the only one who gets to take this off.
10:16What are you doing here?
10:18Going over her security route.
10:20She works for me.
10:21And I'm the one protecting her.
10:23But I'm the one who gets to take this off.
10:29What are you doing here?
10:30You three stop!
10:31If all three of you keep this up, I quit.

27:43and your sons
27:44how are they any different?
