00:15All of you, out!
00:19Ten grand an hour?
00:21Just to smell our necks.
00:22Seriously, easiest money ever.
00:24Did you see his eyes?
00:25Blood red?
00:26That's not normal.
00:33Still nothing.
00:34Master, we've tested 300,000 people.
00:37Not one triggered a response to the curse.
00:51I've tripled the dose.
00:52It should hold for now.
00:54It won't.
00:54We tripled the dose last week and I still haven't slept in 17 straight days.
00:58The doctors confirmed it, Master Asher.
00:59One month.
01:00If we don't find her, it hits your heart.
01:06My son, you have one month.
01:08The Night Thorn curse claims you on your 30th birthday.
01:12I have nothing left to give you.
01:13So this is it?
01:14You came to watch me die?
01:15I came to tell you how to end it.
01:17There's a passage in the Codex you've never seen.
01:22Proximity alone won't work.
01:25To truly suppress the curse, she must complete the Thorn Vow.
01:29A full and willing union of flesh and blood with an heir.
01:33You're only telling me this now.
01:35Because I only just confirmed that you're out of time.
01:37And she has to do it willingly.
01:40That's the second condition.
01:42Willingly.
01:47Run the ad.
01:4810,000 an hour for a sleep assistant.
01:51Make it irresistible.
01:52Let her come to me.
02:10Grandma still needs $4,300 for surgery.
02:12Tuition is due next week.
02:14One hour here equals 60 at the cafe.
02:27That scent.
02:29Could it be her?
02:30The ambrosia carrier?
02:32You.
02:33I'm Chloe.
02:34I'm here about the sleep assistant job.
02:39Alert all three heirs.
02:40We found her.
02:41The ambrosia bearer.
02:42We actually found her.
02:43Um, where do I go for the interview?
02:48Mr. Blackford.
02:50The contract says sleep assistants only.
02:53Nothing else.
03:00Quiet.
03:01Don't move.
03:03You're sent.
03:05I've been looking for this.
03:09Mr. Blackfield.
03:10Your hand.
03:12It's too warm.
03:16And she has to do it willingly.
03:17That's the second condition.
03:22Finally.
03:23Sleep.
03:29So this.
03:30Is the 10 grand an hour job.
03:52Morning, Kitty.
03:53Sleep well last night?
03:56Who are you?
03:59Who are you?
04:02Who are you?
04:02Who are you?
04:06Ezra.
04:07Asher's brother.
04:09And from now on,
04:10your scent is my problem.
04:13Ash is paying you to fix his insomnia.
04:16But my heart's racing at 160.
04:19How are you going to fix me?
04:24Let go!
04:25That's not in the contract!
04:29Contracts can be revised.
04:42Ezra. Get your hands off her.
04:49Come on, Asher. Don't be selfish. Her scent affects my curtmarks, too. Unless you'd rather watch me die.
04:56He's mine. I found her first. Our bloodline's curse doesn't care who came first, and neither do I.
05:06Sweet girl, I've been nothing but trouble for you.
05:13Grandma, you're all I have. I'm going to get the money. I promise.
05:28So you're the sleep assistant?
05:33Hi. I'm Chloe.
05:36Asher and I have had a marriage agreement for eight years. The Blackthorn family requires a woman of noble blood.
05:42Not a girl like you.
05:43You must not leave. However, my purpose in coming today is to make you understand.
05:50The Blacklicity name who emanating blasts from you. I claimed it all eight years ago.
05:56Whether Asher lives or dies, that was never my concern.
05:59Don't you care if he dies?
06:02Care? Asher lives, I get my title. He dies, I get his estate. Either way, I win.
06:09One hundred thousand. Leave.
06:11Mr. Blacktailed hired me. Unless he fires me, I'm not leaving.
06:15So you're choosing the hard way.
06:21Let me go!
06:24Ascent? That's all you are. A trick of biology. Girls like you don't belong there.
06:35Walk away on your own, or I'll make sure neither of you are with them anymore.
06:43No!
07:05The contract is void. Tell your family. Blackthorns don't take a wife who uses hired hands on women.
07:13Asher, I was only-
07:15Get out!
07:25Do those marks hurt?
07:26Hurt?
07:27No.
07:34My grandma. Fluid in her lungs. We're still four thousand piece and three hundred dollars short for the surgery.
07:43Call medical. Get a bed ready at Blacktron Private Hospital. Bring her in this afternoon.
07:48I didn't ask you to-
07:49Then work it off.
07:55Where are we going?
07:58Where are we going?
08:02From now on, every label answers to you.
08:05Where are you going?
08:13Where are we going?
08:15Where are we going?
08:17Is this ok?
08:17We have to go.
08:17We are going to go.
08:18Now, every label appears to us.
08:20You might be the best.
08:22We are going to fix it.
08:22We are going to be a good deal.
08:27We are going to have it.
08:30And among the flames, honey, you're a shipwreck with your heart.
09:07Who are you?
09:09I'm Chloe, the sleep assistant.
09:11We can let go now.
09:1620 years.
09:18We looked for 20 years.
09:22Mr. Blackthard just bought those.
09:27They don't fit.
09:28Asher can buy you a new pair.
09:30So can I.
09:30Now be quiet.
09:31I'm taking you back.
09:42So this is what ambrosia smells like.
09:45Why is this dress so tight?
09:52Don't move.
09:53You'll catch the zipper.
09:56As in you.
09:59A back this beautiful deserves to be seen.
10:08My curse marks only fade when I touch you, Chloe.
10:12So from now on, I'm the only one who gets to take this off.
10:19What are you doing here?
10:20Going over her security route.
10:22She works for me.
10:24And I'm the one protecting her.
10:32You three, stop!
10:33If all three of you keep this up, I quit.
10:39You drove her away by fighting over her?
10:42Mother, this isn't...
10:45Listen carefully.
10:47She has to do it willingly.
10:50No force.
10:51No fighting over her.
10:53And stop pushing her away.
10:56Asher, you're less than a month from 30.
11:00Ezra, your curse marks spread another inch today.
11:04Kieran, you had three flare-outs last week.
11:07If she leaves tomorrow morning, you may not even be able to stand by tomorrow afternoon.
11:13Will she come back?
11:22So you're the little nobody my sister threw out of Blackdown?
11:26My name is Victoria, Vanessa's sister.
11:30Eight years.
11:31One woman was meant to be Mrs. Blackdown.
11:34And then there's you.
11:35Just a distraction they couldn't resist because of a scent.
11:39I didn't do anything!
11:42They're dying.
11:44The curse hits the heart at 30.
11:46Your scent buys them time.
11:48Your medicine.
11:49You mean...
11:51They're dying.
11:58Chloe's in danger.
12:07Chloe...
12:08Get the helicopter.
12:12Now!
12:28Asher turns 30 this month.
12:30No cure.
12:31He dies.
12:31You think that's love?
12:34We're just a lifeline.
12:36Use you up.
12:36Throw you out.
12:47Marcus paid your grandmom's bills with Blackstone money.
12:50Your tuition, too.
12:52You think that was kindness?
12:53You can't save them.
12:54And you don't get to.
12:55So disappear.
12:56And let my sister become Mrs. Blackstone.
13:03You...
13:04Show her some places aren't meant for girls like her.
13:11Ah!
13:14This is what drove three men crazy?
13:24I heard Asher likes smelling your hair.
13:27Let's see what he smells now.
13:41Still keeping the apron?
13:43Planning to marry rich with that?
13:45Ah!
13:49Ah!
13:50Ah!
13:50Ah!
13:50Ah!
13:50Ah!
13:50Ah!
13:51Ah!
13:51That looks like so much한 stretchable you are after tonight.
13:53Boys...
13:54It's all yours.
14:05Ruth!
14:06No!
14:06Let go of me!
14:07Get away!
14:09No!
14:10Let go of me!
14:30All of you, out!
14:32Out!
14:45Are you hurt?
14:52You three, how much time do you have left?
14:57Enough.
14:59You're almost 30.
15:02If I leave, it gets worse for you, doesn't it?
15:09I'll go back, but I have a condition.
15:11What condition?
15:12No more lies.
15:13Not about anything.
15:27I'm running from him.
15:32Your contract's up, Chloe.
15:34Are you firing me?
15:36Don't mind Asher, he's just bad at asking nicely.
15:39We want you to sign a new contract.
15:41What new contract?
16:04One that never ends, you're staying with us forever.
16:08You're going to be ours, all three of us.
16:11What?
16:11Are you insane?
16:12You're brothers, I can only choose one!
16:16You don't get to choose.
16:19No!
16:20What?
16:35That mark, it's in the family codex, the crown mark.
16:41That mark, only the Black Throne Queen has it.
16:49What are you?
16:51All of you, what is this?
16:53All of you, what is this?
17:08Marcus, get mother.
17:11Now.
17:21Six hundred years, and it's finally appeared.
17:26What does that mean?
17:27Two kinds of ambrosia bearers.
17:29One suppresses it.
17:32The other bears the Thorn Crown, the promised queen.
17:37Only she can end it.
17:39How?
17:40On the Blood Moon, she completes the Thorn Vow with all three.
17:43Her light ends the curse.
17:46But...
17:48But...
17:48The ritual takes her life.
17:50The last queen, hundred years ago, didn't survive.
17:55Then we don't do it.
17:56If we don't, all of us die before thirty.
17:58If we do it, she dies.
17:59If we don't, we die.
18:00What kind of sick curse is this?
18:01Wait, that's it?
18:02That's my only choice?
18:03Watch you all die?
18:03Take your place?
18:09Give her some space.
18:10She can't leave.
18:11If she's away from us more than 72 hours, the curse...
18:15I know.
18:15I already blocked the garage exit.
18:19She's not going anywhere.
18:20Volume seven.
18:22Three pages we still can't make sense of.
18:25If there's another way, it's in there.
18:36I won't let you die.
18:38You're dying too.
18:40What makes you think you can promise that?
18:42Volume seven.
18:43I'll do whatever it takes to get through those last three pages.
18:47There has to be another way.
18:49Until then, you're not going anywhere.
18:54Ashul.
18:55Are you scared?
19:00Not of dying, but losing you.
19:03Not of dying, but losing you.
19:08Oh, my God.
19:34The curse spread 40% faster in eight hours.
19:37The crown mark triggered a backlash.
19:40So the curse knows the cure's here,
19:42and it's speeding up, pushing us toward the ritual?
19:45Yes.
19:46At this rate, if the ritual isn't performed,
19:48the marks will reach your hearts within 30 days.
19:55Yesterday, they were still on my wrist.
19:57Overnight, they reached my elbow.
19:59Pretty fast.
20:0530 days?
20:06You've only got 30 days left?
20:07Chloe, sit down.
20:09Then do the ritual.
20:10No.
20:11You're all going to die, and you're still saying no?
20:17Three pages in Volume 7 are still being decoded.
20:19Oxford's best are on it.
20:21We'll have answers in 72 hours.
20:22Until then, no decisions.
20:2672 hours.
20:27Wait.
20:29Asha cancelled the marriage deal for some poor college girl.
20:34I know.
20:35Ambrosia.
20:36My family has searched for her for 300 years.
20:39Is your family cursed too?
20:43Same curse.
20:45Same bloodline.
20:46We split 600 years ago.
20:49They bear black thorn marks.
20:50We bear frost.
20:52Same cure.
20:54Ambrosia.
20:54So you need her too?
20:56More than that.
20:57The curse only breaks with both families' heirs.
21:00They only have half the codex.
21:03I leave for New York the day after tomorrow.
21:05You get me close to her.
21:07I get Ashen back for you.
21:08She's just some nobody.
21:10If you want her, why not just take her?
21:13If she's forced, it won't work.
21:15It has to be her choice.
21:16So she has to leave Black Throne on her own.
21:19You drive them apart.
21:20I'll be there to catch her.
21:31You look like you need something sweet.
21:39I didn't order this.
21:41It's on me.
21:42I'm Sebastian.
21:43Just got in from London.
21:45Mind if I sit?
21:46I'm a fragrance chemist at Oxford.
21:50Your scent's unusual.
21:52Vanilla and peach.
21:54But the base has this warmth I can't quite place.
21:59You can smell that?
22:00Relax.
22:01I've studied natural human scent for 15 years.
22:04It's extremely rare.
22:05Only three documented cases.
22:07A scientist studying scent?
22:09A scientist who's very curious about your scent.
22:12Maybe we could be friends.
22:26Who is this guy?
22:28Facial recognition.
22:29Got nothing.
22:29His identity's been scrubbed.
22:31Bring in team four.
22:33Starting tonight, her detail goes from four guards to twelve.
22:36Master, isn't that a bit...
22:40A man with a scrubbed identity just happens to sit across from her.
22:44You buy that?
22:48Asher.
22:50Someone's getting close to her.
23:06Karen!
23:07Karen!
23:08Karen!
23:09Karen!
23:13Don't.
23:14Don't come closer.
23:15I can't control it right now.
23:28Your marks run deeper than theirs.
23:30Why?
23:31Join special forces at 17.
23:33Every op, the curse spread faster.
23:35They came back with medals.
23:36I came back with more marks.
23:37This one was Afghanistan.
23:38They got the bullet out, not the curse.
23:41Does it hurt?
23:42Not now.
23:43Never feared dying.
23:45Nearly died twice out there, but no.
23:47I'm afraid.
23:48Afraid of what?
23:49That you'll do the ritual to save us, Chloe.
23:51If it comes to that, choose yourself.
23:53It marks them what you die for me.
23:58This time, it felt different.
24:03Three seconds, completely gone.
24:05Your power's getting stronger.
24:06Master Chiron!
24:08The team cracked the first page of Volume 7.
24:12Only the destined Queen can end it.
24:14Draw all three heirs' curse, then burn it with the crown.
24:18The price is...
24:21Keep going.
24:22Queen's entire life force.
24:24But if all three heirs give ten years with 120 seconds before her life force fades, she can be revived
24:31same only.
24:31Ten years each, for one life.
24:34Worth it.
24:36You don't get a say in this.
24:37We've already decided.
24:38Wait, Ashla, you're 30.
24:40Ten years off that.
24:40You'd only make it to...
24:41Better than dead now.
24:42Still two pages left.
24:44The Oxford team needs at least two more weeks.
24:46Pay more.
24:46Ten times more.
24:47I want it done in a week.
24:49Yes, Your Grace.
24:51120 seconds.
24:52What if one of you hesitates?
24:56We won't.
25:00They're decoding Volume 7.
25:02Once the ritual's done, I'm finished.
25:04If Asher dies, I lose everything.
25:07I won't be replaced.
25:08Then we move before the ritual.
25:11Frostthorn Extract.
25:12If this touches an Ambrosia carrier's skin, it seals her scent for 48 hours.
25:1648 hours?
25:17And after that?
25:18While it's sealed, their curse marks flare unquatched.
25:21In 48 hours, they'll reach the heart.
25:24Then they have two choices.
25:25Do the ritual and let her die, or hand her over.
25:28I can buy time.
25:29Either way, she's mine.
25:31What about me?
25:33Once Asher loses the cure, he'll be weak.
25:35A weak man always needs someone beside him.
25:38That's your chance.
25:41My couture show's at the Met in two weeks.
25:43This year's theme is Curse and Redemption.
25:46Is it about your curse?
25:48No.
25:49It's about you.
25:50All 36 looks were inspired by you.
25:54You're my ultimate muse, and I want you to walk the final look yourself.
25:58Me?
25:59I can barely walk in these things.
26:02In my designs, you don't need to walk.
26:05You just stand there and take everyone's breath away.
26:12Put it on.
26:13This is a little too...
26:16This is a little too...
26:19Ezra!
26:20Ezra, I'll do it myself!
26:24Chloe.
26:27When you wear this dress, my curse marks feign three times faster.
26:31You're my finest creation.
26:35She can model in your show, but I'll be at every fitting from now on.
26:40Ezra, you know nothing about fashion.
26:42I know her body better than anyone.
26:44What stays covered, what doesn't.
26:46That's my call.
26:52Why are you suddenly going through your mum's things?
26:54I need to know if she was...
26:56Like me.
27:13What is it, sweetheart?
27:15Edward Blackthrown?
27:17He's Asher's father.
27:21My mother's name was Elaine.
27:23She was the last Ambrosia carrier.
27:25It's all in this diary.
27:29I've waited 21 years for this day.
27:31Edward imprisoned her for three years.
27:33Used her like a drug.
27:34She escaped pregnant.
27:35He hunted her down.
27:36She died when I was six.
27:37Your family killed my mom!
27:39And now you want to use me the same way?
27:40Edward used your mother like a tool.
27:43Not a person.
27:43That was his greatest sin.
27:45He paid for it with his life.
27:46And your sons.
27:47How are they any different?
27:48They locked me in that estate and won't let me leave.
27:51Edward didn't care if she lived or died.
27:53My sons would sooner die than let you do that ritual.
27:55Same thing?
28:07How long were you standing out there?
28:09All of it.
28:12You knew what your father did, didn't you?
28:16I was eight.
28:17He locked her underground.
28:18She was screaming.
28:19He called it treatment.
28:21Later I found out she was your mother.
28:24You knew.
28:25You've always known.
28:25Chloe, I knew her.
28:26I didn't know you were her daughter.
28:27The codex only described Ambrosia.
28:28No names.
28:29No photos.
28:30But you used the same methods he did.
28:32Big money.
28:33A locked estate.
28:33No way out.
28:34My father never took a hit for her.
28:35Never dressed her in couture.
28:37Never stood before her and admitted he was afraid.
28:38I'm risking everything to find another way.
28:40Hate my father all you want, but don't put his sins on me.
28:42I need time.
28:53You look like you're having a rough day.
28:55I just found out my employer's family may have killed my mom.
28:58What do you think?
28:59Want to talk about it?
29:00Sometimes it's easier with a stranger.
29:02It's a family.
29:03Very wealthy.
29:03I work for them.
29:04They need me for something.
29:05I don't fully understand, but they also keep me close.
29:07Don't really let me leave.
29:08But sometimes I just don't know.
29:09You're stuck with a family that needs you to survive.
29:11You just don't know if it's love or if you're just the cure.
29:15You're right.
29:16I don't know.
29:17Chloe, if someone loved you, they'd give you a choice.
29:19They wouldn't keep trapping you.
29:22Here's my private number.
29:25If you ever need someone outside all this, call me.
29:34That's him.
29:35Same guy from the school.
29:37Run a full ID check.
29:38I want everything on him.
29:39Copy.
29:46We ran the global databases three times.
29:48This man does not exist.
29:49The card he gave Chloe says Sebastian Reed, Oxford University.
29:52Contacted Oxford.
29:53No such person in that department.
29:56No identity.
29:57No record.
29:58Runs into Chloe twice.
30:00That's not coincidence.
30:01He's moving on her.
30:03Do we take him?
30:03No.
30:04That kind of clean wipe needs serious backing.
30:07We watch him first.
30:08Find out who's working for.
30:09Your Grace, one more possibility.
30:12An old record, 30 years ago, a branch was cast out of the family, the Thornhields.
30:17Thornhield.
30:17My grandfather erased them from the family.
30:19Why?
30:19The file is sealed at the highest level.
30:21I don't have access.
30:22Only the head of the family can open it.
30:24Open it.
30:26Thornhield split from us 600 years ago.
30:28Same blood, same curse.
30:30They bear frost zone, and grandfather cast them out.
30:34So this Sebastian, he's one of the Thornhields, and he's after Chloe.
30:37From now on, Chloe's security is at the highest level.
30:40Twelve guards, three shifts, around the clock.
30:43Ciaran, you lead it yourself.
30:45And that man?
30:46Find him, but don't touch him yet.
30:48I want to know exactly what Thornhield has left, then we wipe them out in one move.
30:52How sure are you going to tell her?
30:54He's shaken off by what she learned about our father.
30:57Tell her another family's after her and you'll break.
30:59Stop them first.
31:01The more secrets you keep, the deeper the rift gets.
31:25Final look.
31:26Only I get to dress you for this one.
31:28This is even more revealing than before.
31:32More beautiful.
31:33Because I added one last detail.
31:36Ezra.
31:41I've designed a thousand dresses.
31:43This is the only one I made with my hands shaking.
31:46When you step out, the world wants your name, but only we know you, and what you truly are.
31:53Five minutes of preparation for the show.
32:06Enjoy your last night in the spotlight, you little nobody.
32:38Five minutes of preparation for the show.
33:01Five minutes of preparation for the show.
33:06I'm so sorry.
33:08I'm fine.
33:10Really.
33:27Her scent is gone.
33:29All units, lock down the venue.
33:30Find the woman in the black suit.
33:32Move!
33:32Someone trampled with her!
33:34Get her out of here.
33:36Now!
33:41Your scent's been sealed.
33:43Don't talk.
33:44Hold on.
