00:08Marcus. Get mother. Now.
00:21Six hundred years, and it's finally appeared. What does that mean?
00:27Two kinds of ambrosia bearers. One suppresses it. The other bears the thorn crown. The promised queen. Only she can
00:39end it.
00:39How?
00:40On the blood moon, she completes the thorn vow with all three. Her light ends the curse. But...
00:47But, the ritual takes her life. The last queen hundred years ago didn't survive.
00:55Then we don't do it. If we don't, all of us die before thirty. If we do it, she dies.
00:59If we don't, we die. What kind of sick curse is this?
01:01Wait, that's it? That's my only choice? Watch you all die? Take your place?
01:09Give her some space. She can't leave. If she's away from us more than 72 hours, the curse...
01:15I know. I know. I already blocked the garage exit. She's not going anywhere.
01:21Volume seven. Three pages we still can't make sense of. If there's another way, it's in there.
01:36I won't let you die.
01:39You're dying too. What makes you think you can promise that?
01:42Volume seven. I'll do whatever it takes to get through those last three pages. There has to be another way.
01:50Until then, you're not going anywhere.
01:54Ashal, are you scared? Not of dying. Of losing you.
02:32Young misters, the latest report is in. The curse spread 40% faster in eight hours. The crown mark triggered
02:38a backlash.
02:41So the curse knows the cure's here, and it's speeding up, pushing us toward the ritual?
02:45Yes. At 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. Overnight, they reached my elbow. Pretty fast.
03:0530 days?! You'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?!
03:17Three pages in volume seven are still being decoded. Oxford's best are on it. We'll have answers in 72 hours.
03:23Until then, no decisions.
03:2672 hours. Wait.
03:29Asha cancelled the marriage deal for some poor college girl.
03:34I know. Ambrosia. My family has searched for her for 300 years.
03:40Is your family cursed too?
03:44Same curse. Same bloodline. We split 600 years ago. They bear black thorn marks. We bear frost. Same cure. Ambrosia.
03:55So you need her too?
03:56More than that. The curse only breaks with both families' heirs. They only have half the codex.
04:03I leave for New York the day after tomorrow. You get me close to her, I get Ashen back for
04:08you.
04:09She's just some nobody. If you want her, why not just take her?
04:13If she's forced, it won't work. It has to be her choice. So she has to leave Black Throne on
04:18her own. You drive them apart. I'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. I'm Sebastian. Just got in from London. Mind if I sit?
04:47I'm a fragrance chemist at Oxford. Your scent's unusual. Vanilla and peach. But the base has this warmth I can't
04:56quite place.
04:59You can smell that?
05:00Relax. I've studied natural human scent for 15 years. It's extremely rare. Only three documented cases.
05:07A scientist studying scent?
05:09A scientist who's very curious about your scent. Maybe we could be friends.
05:21They could force me into the fog by the way.
05:26Who is this guy?
05:28Facial recognition, got nothing. His identity's been scrubbed.
05:31Bring in Team Four. Starting 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? You buy that?
05:50Asher. Someone's getting close to her.
06:07Karin! Karin! Karin!
06:13Don't. Don't come closer. I can't control it right now.
06:28Your marks run deeper than theirs. Why?
06:31Joined Special Forces at 17. Every op, the curse spread faster. They came back with medals. I came back with
06:37more marks. This one was Afghanistan. They got the bullet out, not the curse.
06:41Does it hurt?
06:42Not now. Never feared dying. Nearly died twice out there, but no. I'm afraid.
06:48Afraid of what?
06:49That you'll do the ritual to save us, Chloe. If it comes to that, choose yourself. Marks, then watch you
06:54die for me.
06:58This time, it felt different.
07:03Three seconds. Completely gone. Your power's getting stronger.
07:07Master Chiron! The team cracked the first page of Volume 7.
07:12Only the destined Queen can end it. Draw all three heirs' curse, then burn it with the crown. The price
07:19is-
07:22Keep going. Queen's entire life force. But if all three heirs give ten years with one hundred and twenty seconds
07:29before her life force fades, she can be revived same only.
07:32Ten years each. For one life. Worth it.
07:36You don't get a say in this. We've already decided.
07:38Wait, Ashla, you're thirty. Ten years off that. You'd only make it to-
07:41Better than dead now.
07:42Still two pages left. The Oxford team needs at least two more weeks.
07:46Pay more. Ten times more. I want it done in a week. Yes, Your Grace.
07:50One hundred and twenty seconds. What if one of you hesitates?
07:56We won't.
08:00They're decoding Volume 7. Once the ritual's done, I'm finished. If Asher dies, I lose everything. I won't be replaced.
08:08Then we move before the ritual. Frostthorn Extract. If this touches an ambrosia carrier's skin, it seals her scent for
08:16forty-eight hours.
08:16Forty-eight hours? And after that?
08:19While it's sealed, their curse marks flare unquatched. In forty-eight hours, they'll reach the heart. Then they have two
08:25choices. Do 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. That's
08:39your chance.
08:41My couture show's at the Met in two weeks. This year's theme is Curse and Redemption.
08:46Is it about your curse?
08:48No. It's about you. All thirty-six looks were inspired by you.
08:54You're my ultimate muse, and I want you to walk the final look yourself.
08:58Me? I can barely walk in these things.
09:02In my designs, you don't need to walk. You just stand there and take everyone's breath away.
09:12Put it on.
09:14This is... a little too...
09:19Ezra! Ezra, I'll do it myself!
09:27Chloe, when you wear this dress, my curse marks feigned three times faster.
09:32You're my finest creation.
09:35She can model in your show, but I'll be at every fitting from now on.
09:40Asher, you know nothing about fashion.
09:42I know her body better than anyone.
09:44What stays covered, what doesn't, that's my call.
09:52Why are you suddenly going through your mum's things?
09:54I need to know if she was...
09:57like me.
10:14What is it, sweetheart?
10:15Edward Blackthrown?
10:18He's Asher's father.
10:21My mother's name was Elaine.
10:23She was the last Ambrosia carrier.
10:25It's all in this diary.
10:29I've waited 21 years for this day.
10:31Edward imprisoned her for three years.
10:33Used her like a drug. She escaped pregnant.
10:36He hunted her down. She died when I was six.
10:37Your family killed my mom!
10:39And now you want to use me the same way?!
10:41Edward used your mother like a tool.
10:43Not a person. That was his greatest sin.
10:45He paid for it with his life.
10:46And your sons? How are they any different?
10:49They locked me in that estate and won't let me leave!
10:51Edward didn't care if she lived or died.
10:53My sons would sooner die than let you do that ritual.
10:56Same thing?
11:07How long were you standing out there?
11:09All of it.
11:12You knew what your father did, didn't you?
11:16I was eight.
11:17He locked her underground.
11:18She was screaming.
11:19He called it treatment.
11:21Later I found out.
11:23She was your mother.
11:24You knew? You've always known?
11:25Chloe, I knew her. I didn't know you were her daughter.
11:27The codex only described Ambrosia.
11:28No names. No photos.
11:30But you used the same methods he did.
11:32Big money. A locked estate. No way out.
11:34My father never took a hit for her.
11:35Never dressed her in couture.
11:37Never stood before her and admitted he was afraid.
11:38I'm risking everything to find another way.
11:40Hate my father all you want, but don't put his sins on me.
11:42I need time.
11:53You look like you're having a rough day.
11:55I just found out my employer's family may have killed my mom.
11:58What do you think?
11:59Wanna talk about it? Sometimes it's easier with a stranger.
12:02It's a family. Very wealthy. I work for them.
12:04They need me. For something.
12:06I don't fully understand, but they also keep me close.
12:08Don't really let me leave. But sometimes I just don't know.
12:09Stuck with a family that needs you to survive.
12:11You just don't know if it's love or if you're just the cure.
12:15You're right. I don't know.
12:17Chloe, if someone loved you, they'd give you a choice.
12:19They wouldn't keep trapping you.
12:22Here's my private number.
12:25If you ever need someone outside all this, call me.
12:34That's him. Same guy from the school.
12:37Run a full ID check. I want everything on him.
12:39Copy.
12:46We ran the global databases three times. This man does not exist.
12:49The card he gave Chloe says Sebastian Reed, Oxford University.
12:53He contacted Oxford. No such person in that department.
12:56No identity. No record.
12:58Runs into Chloe twice. That's not coincidence.
13:01He's moving on her.
13:03Do we take him?
13:04No. That kind of clean white needs serious backing.
13:07We watch him first. Find out who's working for.
13:10Your grace, one more possibility.
13:12An old record.
13:13Thirty years ago, a branch was cast out of the family.
13:16The Thornhields.
13:17Thornhield.
13:17My grandfather erased them from the family. Why?
13:20The file is sealed at the highest level. I don't have access. Only the head of the family can open
13:24it.
13:24Open it.
13:26Thornhield split from us six hundred years ago. Same blood, same curse. They bear Froststone and Grandfather cast them out.
13:33So this Sebastian...
13:35He's one of the Thornhields. And he's after Chloe.
13:37From now on, Chloe's security is at the highest level. Twelve guards, three shifts, around the clock.
13:43Ciaran, you lead it yourself.
13:45And that man?
13:46Find him. But don't touch him yet. I want to know exactly what Thornfield has left. Then we wipe them
13:51out in one move.
13:52How sure are you going to tell her?
13:54He's shaken off by what she learned about our father. Tell her another family's after her and you'll break. Stop
13:59them first.
14:01The more secrets you keep, the deeper the rift gets.
14:25Final look. Only I get to dress you for this one.
14:28This is even more... revealing than before.
14:32More beautiful. Because I added one last detail.
14:37Ezra...
14:41I've designed a thousand dresses. This is the only one I made with my hands shaking.
14:47When you step out, the world wants your name but only we know you and what you truly are.
14:54Five minutes of preparation for the show.
15:06Enjoy your last night in the spotlight, you little nobody.
15:08It's been beautiful.
15:11I'll be right for you.
15:12What If That seiot is rink就是...
15:38...
16:06I'm so sorry.
16:09I'm fine.
16:10Really.
16:27Her scent is gone!
16:29All units, lock down the venue.
16:30Find the woman in the black suit.
16:32Move!
16:32Someone tampered with her!
16:34Get her out of here.
16:36Now!
16:41Your scent's been sealed.
16:43Don't talk.
16:44Hold on.
