Short filmTranscript
00:08Marcus. Get mother. Now.
00:21Six hundred years and it's finally appeared.
00:25What does that mean?
00:27Two kinds of ambrosia bearers. One suppresses it.
00:32The other bears the thorn crown. The promised queen.
00:37Only she can end it.
00:39How?
00:40On the blood moon she completes the thorn vow with all three.
00:43Her light ends the curse.
00:46But...
00:47But the ritual takes her life.
00:50The last queen hundred years ago didn't survive.
00:55Then we don't do it.
00:56If we don't, all of us die before thirty.
00:58If we do it, she dies. If we don't, we die.
01:00What kind of sick curse is this?
01:01Wait, that's it? That's my only choice?
01:03Watch you all die?
01:04Take your place?
01:09Give her some space.
01:11She can't leave.
01:12If she's away from us more than 72 hours, the curse...
01:15I know. The...
01:15I know.
01:16I already blocked the garage exit.
01:19She's not going anywhere.
01:20Volume seven.
01:22Three pages we still can't make sense of.
01:25If there's another way, it's in there.
01:36I won't let you die.
01:39You're dying too.
01:40What makes you think you can promise that?
01:42Volume seven.
01:43I'll do whatever it takes to get through those last three pages.
01:47There has to be another way.
01:50Until then, you're not going anywhere.
01:53Ashul.
01:56Are you scared?
02:01Not of dying.
02:02Of losing you.
02:32Young misters, the latest report is in.
02:35The curse spread 40% faster in eight hours.
02:37The crown mark triggered a backlash.
02:41So the curse knows the cure's here.
02:43And it's speeding up, pushing us toward the ritual?
02:45Yes.
02:46At this rate if the ritual isn't performed, the marks will reach your hearts within 30 days.
02:55Yesterday, they were still on my wrist.
02:57Overnight, they reached my elbow.
02:59Pretty fast.
03:0530 days?
03:06You've only got 30 days left?
03:08Chloe, sit down.
03:09Then do the ritual!
03:10No.
03:11You're all going to die, and you're still saying no?
03:13No!
03:17Three pages in volume seven are still being decoded.
03:20Oxford's best are on it.
03:21We'll have answers in 72 hours.
03:23Until then, no decisions.
03:2672 hours.
03:28Wait.
03:29Asha cancelled the marriage deal for some poor college girl.
03:35I know.
03:36Ambrosia.
03:37My family has searched for her for 300 years.
03:39Is your family cursed too?
03:44Same curse.
03:45Same bloodline.
03:47We split 600 years ago.
03:49They bear black thorn marks.
03:51We bear frost.
03:52Same cure.
03:54Ambrosia.
03:55So you need her too?
03:56More than that.
03:58The curse only breaks with both families' heirs.
04:00They only have half the codex.
04:03I leave for New York the day after tomorrow.
04:06You get me close to her.
04:07I get Ashen back for you.
04:09She's just some nobody.
04:10If you want her, why not just take her?
04:13If she's forced, it won't work.
04:15It has to be her choice.
04:17So she has to leave Black Throne on her own.
04:19You drive them apart.
04:21I'll be there to catch her.
04:31You look like you need something sweet.
04:39I didn't order this.
04:41It's on me.
04:42I'm Sebastian.
04:43Just got in from London.
04:45Mind if I sit?
04:47I'm a fragrance chemist at Oxford.
04:50Your scent's unusual.
04:52Vanilla and peach.
04:55But the base has this warmth I can't quite place.
04:59You can smell that?
05:00Relax.
05:01I've studied natural human scent for 15 years.
05:04It's extremely rare.
05:05Only three documented cases.
05:07A scientist studying scent?
05:09A scientist who's very curious about your scent.
05:12Maybe we could be friends.
05:21It could force me into the Fox one away.
05:26Who is this guy?
05:28Facial recognition.
05:29Got nothing.
05:30His identity's been scrubbed.
05:31Bring in Team Four.
05:33Starting tonight, her detail goes from four guards to twelve.
05:36Master, isn't that a bit-
05:41A man with a scrubbed identity just happens to sit across from her?
05:44You buy that?
05:48Asher.
05:50Someone's getting close to her.
05:53Let's play and stop.
06:02Let's begin.
06:13Don't...
06:14...ij會否 come close.
06:15I can't control it right now.
06:17I understand.
06:22You're doing the best.
06:23You're doing the best.
06:23I think that you're doing the best.
06:28your marks run deeper than theirs why join special forces at 17 every op the curse spread faster
06:34they came back with medals i came back with more marks this one was afghanistan
06:38they got the bullet out not the curse does it hurt not now never feared dying nearly died twice
06:45out there but no i'm afraid afraid of what that you'll do the ritual to save us chloe
06:51if it comes to that choose yourself it marks them watch you die for me
06:59this time it felt different
07:03three seconds completely gone your power is getting stronger master chyren the team cracked the first
07:10page of volume seven only the destined queen can end it draw all three heirs curse then burn it with
07:17the crown the price is
07:21keep going queen's entire life force but if all three heirs give 10 years with 120 seconds before
07:29her life force fades she can be revived same only 10 years each for one life worth it
07:36you don't get a say in this we've already decided wait ashley you're 30 10 years off that you'd only
07:41make it better than dead now still two pages left the oxford team needs at least two more weeks
07:46pay more 10 times more i want it done in a week yes your grace
07:51120 seconds
07:52what if one of you hesitates
07:56we won't
08:00they're decoding volume seven once the ritual's done i'm finished
08:03if asher dies i lose everything
08:07i won't be replaced then we move before the ritual frost thorn extract if this touches an
08:13ambrosia carrier's skin it seals her scent for 48 hours 48 hours and after that while it's sealed
08:19their curse marks flare unquatched in 48 hours they'll reach the heart then they have two choices
08:25do the ritual and let her die or hand her over i can buy time either way she's mine
08:31what about me once asher loses the cure he'll be weak a weak man always needs someone beside him
