Short filmTranscript
00:02Don't come any closer!
00:05Am I the only daughter of the Corsody family?
00:08Why should I be the one to marry a hawk-dead vegetable?
00:13Chloe is the eldest daughter.
00:15She should be the one for this marriage of convenience.
00:17I won't marry him.
00:19Push me again.
00:20I'll jump from here.
00:22No, my sweetheart.
00:25Arthur, do something.
00:27Can you really bear to let our daughter become a living widow at the Carter Manor?
00:33It's a legal agreement signed years ago.
00:37The Carter family is the most prominent plettivard in the north.
00:41If we back out, we lose the military contracts,
00:43and our textile mill and the manor will all be mortgaged by the bank.
00:50Vivian, it's too dangerous. Give me your hand.
01:09I can take her place and marry Ethan Carter.
01:21Thank God! You mean it?
01:25I have conditions.
01:28Name them.
01:30First, the Courtney mill.
01:32My mother built that business.
01:34I want 20% equity and the land transferred to me within a week.
01:39That's my inheritance.
01:40Second, after the marriage, I control my mother's loom patent and the South American shipping routes.
01:48No interference.
01:49Third, transfer Kyle. He'll be Vivian's personal guard.
01:53Kyle? The former cavalry officer?
01:56I thought he was the one you valued most.
01:59Why give him up?
02:01I've been the dutiful lady and he the loyal knight for three years.
02:05I'm done playing that game.
02:08And really, that role suits Vivian better.
02:14I've been the one you wanted to play.
02:17Hey.
02:17Hey.
02:21Hey.
02:24Hey.
02:31Hey.
02:33Hey.
02:34Hey.
02:35Hey.
02:35Hey.
02:49Vivian, close your eyes.
03:05At the riding field, three years ago, what did you promise me?
03:14My duty is to protect the Courtney family.
03:21Duty? You knelt and swore no blade, no bullet would touch me before you.
03:50What's your name?
03:58This wound. He is clearly the heir to the Stark Arms family of the North. The only son of a
04:05prominent Pleiart. Changing his name and sneaking into my house, what exactly does he want? Give me one reason to
04:13make you my personal bodyguard.
04:15As long as I have a breath left. When danger strikes, I will be the first to rush towards you,
04:21using my own flesh and blood to be Miss Courtney's most indestructible shield.
04:25All right. It's you.
04:35So the Miss Courtney you swore to protect, that wasn't me. It was that Vivian, the illegitimate one, wasn't it?
04:42Mr. Kyle! Miss Vivian fainted again. Her corset too tight. Please help!
04:54Ahh!
04:56Ah!
04:56Ah!
04:58Ah!
05:16Did you see that retired military officer?
05:19Miss Vivian merely fainted from a corset tied too tight,
05:23but he pulled out his service pistol and forced the director to treat her personally, right?
05:28He carried Miss Vivian all the way in.
05:30When he told her, I'm here, don't be afraid, that look in his eyes, now that's true chivalry.
05:52So how much longer is the sole hair to the North's biggest arms plummet, the Stark family,
05:58going to play the loyal old soldier in this Courtney manor?
06:01Don't tell me you've caught real feelings for that arrogant Miss Chloe who's always admired you.
06:09Chloe, a spoiled, arrogant woman like her can't even compare to a corner of Vivian's skirt.
06:16For three years, her self-righteous charity and pestering have only made me sick.
06:21I've never even looked at her properly.
06:42I've never even looked at her properly.
06:44Miss Chloe...
06:45Why aren't you in the ward getting bandaged?
06:48What are you doing here?
06:50You're still bleeding, you need to go back to the ward.
06:56Don't touch me.
06:59Yes.
07:00I should go back.
07:07Kyle Stark, game is over.
07:30Miss Chloe, the doctor at the church sanitary instructed that your gunshot wound could tear open again at any time.
07:36You cannot go out.
07:40The St. George Art Salon.
07:42I have to go.
07:44That French master's painting, Dusk in Normandy, is the favorite of Mr. Smith, the Federal Railway Tycorn.
07:50If I get it, the Courtney Fextile Mail's shipping line can be revived.
07:56Apologies.
07:57I have personal matters today.
07:59I would like to request a leave of absence.
08:03What?
08:05You won't even escort me now?
08:10Vivian will be at this salon, too.
08:17I will go prepare the carriage for you.

10:05The Stark family.
10:08Oh my God.
10:11Did you hear that?
10:13Mr. Stark, the elusive Mr. Stark.
10:17He did this for me.
10:29Well done, my knight.
10:53To the docks.
10:54The Black Swan Tavern.
10:57Sister, a tavern?
10:58With sailors?
11:03Take me.
11:04I've always wanted to see one.
11:06Have you no shame?
11:07Get out.
11:08This isn't your performing stage.
11:30Stop following me.

11:50Well now, where'd a fancy lady like you come from?
11:53Join us for a drink.
11:55Let go!
11:55Don't touch me!
12:01Feisty.
12:02I like that.
12:09Kyle, this is too strong.
12:12I'm dizzy.
12:13Could you take me back to the carriage?
12:15I can't.
12:16I'm passing out.
12:18I can't.
12:29Let go of me!
12:32Help!
12:33Help!
12:42You little bitch.
12:43You're coming with us today, whether you like it or not.

12:58Kyle!
13:03Hey!

15:45Kyle, help. My corset. I can't breathe.
16:02Are you alright, Vivian?
16:28You really think a glass of water will fix his two failures?
16:32You chose Vivian at the Funrares. I got shot.
16:37And tonight, you left me bleeding on broken glass for her.
16:41Again. Get out of Courtney Manor.
16:47I can't.
16:48Can't? Or won't? Because Vivian's here?
16:52I failed you. I'll take whatever punishment you think I deserve.
16:57Good. You said it.

21:41Shh.
21:42My little Robin, don't cry.
21:44Mommy swears to God that I will always protect you and never leave your side.
22:06Mother, you broke your vow in front of God.
22:09You said you'd never leave me.
22:12Yet that night, you drank an entire bottle of Lopinock.
22:20I'm going through with the marriage contract.
22:23And I'm leaving this rotting manor for good.
22:26I won't put my life in a weak man's hands.
22:31What belongs to me, I will hold onto myself.
22:35Rest in peace, Mother.
22:42Miss, the master sent word.
22:45The textile contract has taken effect at City Hall.
22:48The Carter family carriage will arrive before sunset.
22:51As for your guard, Kyle, tell him.
22:55Tell him to keep Kyle.
22:57Seems like a better fit for his precious illegitimate daughter.
23:01I don't want something so dirty.
23:08Miss Chloe, what's going on?
23:10I'm leaving the manor.
23:11The wooden crate in the corner, filled with the Courtney family's old account books.
23:15Take it to Arthur's reception room.
23:17You're leaving?
23:18Where are you going?
23:19That's no longer your concern.
23:24Just carry out my final order.
23:33Kyle.
23:37Goodbye.
23:56Mr. Courtney.
23:57Miss Chloe ordered me to return these items.
24:00If there are no further instructions, I will take my leave.
24:11Kyle, my knight.
24:13You're not going anywhere.
24:15Chloe left you behind.
24:17From now on, you answer to me.
24:19What did you say?
24:21Chloe's marriage contract with the Carter family is signed.
24:24She's leaving for the Carter Manor tonight.
24:26A married woman doesn't keep a young man like you around.
24:31You'll serve Vivian from now on.
24:34Sister really is noble.
24:35Marrying Ethan, that walking corpse who can't even open his eyes.
24:40In exchange for military contracts in the Carter treasury.
24:44Not a bad trade, though.
24:46Some people really know how to bargain.
24:59Some people really know how to bargain.
25:02No!
25:05No!
25:06She's not marrying him!
25:17Chloe!
25:18Chloe!
25:36No!
25:37No!
25:37No!
25:40No!
25:42I don't know.
26:14Mrs. Carter has instructed that you must take meticulous care of young Master Ethan.
26:18Although everyone knows this marriage is merely a bargaining ship in exchange for military supply orders,
26:23since you have taken the Carter family name, you should fulfill the duties expected of a wife.
26:28Do not slack off.
26:29I know my place. You may leave and close the door.
26:52Was it an illusion?
26:57It seems I am really too tired.
27:26What kind of person
27:28exactly are you?
27:42Kyle, doesn't this sapphire match my French dress perfectly?
27:47If you like it, Miss Vivian.
27:54I want those Victorian ruby earrings, too.
27:56And that gold diamond bracelet. Bring them over.
28:13I'll take them all.
28:15Sure, Miss Vivian. One moment, please. I'll have your bill ready right away.
28:43Miss Vivian.
28:45All the jewelry you selected has been fully paid for by Mr. Stark's representative.
28:55My God! Did you hear that?
29:00Mr. Stark bought everything for me.
29:14What is this?
29:15This is an aid contract,
29:17extrapolated by young Master Ethan himself
29:19before he fell into a coma,
29:21unconditionally sharing
29:22the new steam-learned Prattent
29:24with the Courtney family.
29:26He ordered me to deliver it,
29:27but Madam Margaret tear it up undunched
29:29and returned with.
29:36Ethan,
29:37so when I was treated
29:39as an outcast
29:40by my family,
29:41you had already tried to
29:44pull me up once.
29:49I know you've suffered a lot.
30:09From now on,
30:10I won't let anyone
30:11bully you again.
30:17Thank you, Ethan.
30:26Kyle, use the whip, faster!
30:34The wind here feels amazing!
30:36Woo!
30:37Woo!
30:38Woo!
30:39Woo!
30:39Woo!
30:40Woo!
30:41Woo!
30:49Head down!
30:50Close your eyes!
31:01Kyle!
31:24You're finally awake!
31:26You scared me to death!
31:29You're not hurt, are you?
31:32I'm fine.
31:33Just a tiny scratch.
31:35This is all my fault.
31:37If I hadn't told you to go faster,
31:40you bled so much
31:42to protect me.
31:43Kyle, why?
31:44Why are you always
31:45so good to me?
31:46Every time I'm in danger,
31:48you're the one standing
31:49in front of me
31:50like a true knight,
31:51risking everything.
31:52Three years ago,
31:53that night was like this,
31:54and now as well.
32:09It's nothing.
32:11Protecting you,
32:12that's my job.
32:13Just your job?
32:15Kyle, you die for me.
32:17Is that really all it is?
32:19When I'm discharged,
32:21in three days,
32:22I have something to tell you.
32:33The French tailor's here
32:35with the latest croissettes
32:36and silk from Paris.
32:37I have to try them on now.
32:39Kyle, get some rest.
32:40I'll come see you later.
32:41I'll come see you later.
33:12Why are you here?
33:14I don't need it.
33:14As head of Courtney family,
33:16your health matters.
33:17Drink the beef bone soup.
33:19It helps your broken bone heal.
33:26Send a letter to Master Morris.
33:29Urgent.
33:30Have him arrange
33:31a grand dinner in three days.
33:33Top dome of St. George's Club.
33:35Best orchestra.
33:36White Dutch roses.
33:38Fireworks on the Charles River.
33:39Take my obsidian seal
33:41and get the tear
33:42of the star's necklace
33:43from Chase Banks' vault.
33:45Yes, sir.
33:51Ethan,
33:52you've missed quite a bit
33:53while you were asleep.
33:55And for Miss Chloe,
33:56the Courtney family
33:57is drowning in debt
33:58practically bankrupt.
34:00This marriage
34:01is just their way out.
34:10I'll say this once.
34:11Listen carefully.
34:12Chloe Corton is my fiancée
34:14and the future mistress
34:15of Carter Manor.
34:16Her dignity stands with mine.
34:18No one questions it
34:19at the table.
34:20Cross the line again
34:22and you're no longer
34:23part of Carter family.
34:24I won't repeat myself.
34:31Ignore them.
34:33Try the French soup.
34:34It's the chef's specialty.
34:36I'm all right.
34:44Easy, my friend.
34:46The St. George's Dome is set.
34:48Finest orchestra,
34:49Dutch white roses,
34:50Charles River fireworks,
34:52all in top tier.
34:54But tell me,
34:55aren't you a little too devoted
34:57to Miss Vivian?
34:58She's worth it.
34:59Worth it?
35:00Because she pulled you back
35:01from death three years ago?
35:03Come on,
35:04this is the civilized
35:0519th century, Kyle.
35:06It's not a knight's tale.
35:08You don't owe her
35:09your entire Stark inheritance.
35:12Oh, and I have news.
35:14Miss Chloe.
35:15The one who used
35:16to follow you around?
35:18She officially moved
35:19into Carter Manor last night.
35:21And Ethan Carter
35:22miraculously awake.
35:24Boston High Society
35:25just got more fascinating
35:26by the hour.
35:28My affairs are not your concern.
35:30Everything stays as planned.
36:00Don't move.
36:01You have a tension
36:02femothorax.
36:03You have a tension femothorax.
36:46Miss Courtney.
36:48Miss Professional Surgical Tools.
36:50The smell of carbonic acid.
36:52Only Vivian studied
36:53at the Royal College
36:54of Physicians back then.
36:57It was her.
36:58It had to be her.
37:16Relax, old friend.
37:18You look like you're
37:19about to start a duel,
37:20not a confession.
37:21Miss Vivian will
37:22swine at this display.
37:27Honestly,
37:27not even the governor's
37:28daughter had a setup
37:29like this.
37:31You're certain
37:32it's really her?
37:34Some old debts
37:36get settled tonight.
37:41Mr. Stark
37:42certainly went all out.
37:43These white roses
37:44came in by private train
37:46just for tonight.
37:48Pretty flowers
37:48don't mean a thing.
37:49She was born in the shadows.
37:50Luck is the only reason
37:51she caught his eye.
37:52Careful.
37:53Both Courtney sisters
37:54are cunning.
37:56Chloe,
37:56the unloved one,
37:57is already in Carter Manor
37:59at Ethan's side.
38:00The clock has struck nine.
38:02Where is our guest of honor?
38:15Are you certain
38:16that Sealed Invitation
38:16reached her?
38:17I'm sure of it.
38:18My man handed it
38:19to her maid personally.
38:20Perhaps a carriage accident?
38:26Lucas,
38:27send ten riders
38:28on fast horses.
38:29Check Courtney Manor,
38:30the St. George Theater,
38:32all her salones
38:32and dressmakers,
38:33anywhere she could be.
38:34Turn Boston upside down
38:36until you find
38:36Vivian Courtney.
38:37At once, sir.
38:38I'll prepare the stables.
38:45attend a dinner with a washed-up soldier.
38:48It ruined my French silk.
38:49I'm Vivian Courtney.
38:51I'll be marrying the owner
38:52of the Stark Armories.
38:54But Kyle is handsome,
38:56loyal,
38:56willing to die for you.
38:57Not even a little tempted?
38:59A loyal dog,
39:00that's all.
39:01I only played along
39:02because Chloe was stupid
39:03enough to adore him.
39:04Watching the man she wasted
39:05three years through
39:06crawl at my feet,
39:07the feeling is truly indescribable.
39:09Father always gave me
39:10what I wanted.
39:11When Chloe got into
39:13the Royal College,
39:14I went too.
39:15Father donated
39:15an entire anatomy building
39:17to get me in.
39:18I never attended
39:19a single class.
39:20The stench of blood
39:21and carpalmic acid
39:22makes me sick.
39:23Chloe has endured you
39:25for years.
39:25She had it coming.
39:27Her and the dead
39:28mother of her.
39:29Now she's attached herself
39:31to a half-dead man.
39:33Kyle the dog
39:34is useless to me.
39:35Once I have
39:36the Stark Ring,
39:36I'm done with
39:38this pathetic family.
39:44You never saw me here.
39:46Not a word.
39:52I never attended
39:53a single class.
39:55The stench of blood
39:56and carpalmic acid
39:57makes me sick.
39:59Watching the man
40:00she wasted three years on
40:01crawl at my feet.
40:03Kyle is just
40:04a useless dog.
40:12Kyle!
40:14Kyle!
40:27Sir, you called for me.
40:28Bring all the Pinkerton files
40:30on the South End
40:30dock assassination
40:31three years ago.
40:33Every trace of the person
40:34who saved me.
40:35Yes, sir.
40:37The lead detective
40:37just sent the final report.
40:42The detective recovered this
40:43from an opium addict.
40:45He found it in that alley's
40:46blooded puddle
40:47the night you were shot.
40:48The mark on the back
40:49belongs to the late
40:50Mrs. Isabel Courtney.
40:52Miss Chloe wore it
40:53as a personal relic.
40:55Old patrolman swears
40:56he saw a cloaked woman
40:58with deep golden hair
40:59run from the alley
41:00that night.
41:01She smelled of
41:02carporic acid.
41:03Her hands were skilled.
41:06Vivian wretches
41:07at the scent of blood.
41:09We checked
41:10city rental records.
41:12Miss Chloe's
41:12temporary hospital
41:13apartment that night
41:14less than 200 yards
41:16from that alley.
41:26Chloe!
41:27It was Chloe!
41:28All this time
41:29it was you!
41:32What have I done?
41:34God!
41:36I broke her heart!
41:38I ruined everything!
41:45Horse!
41:47Now!
41:48Carter Manor!
42:02Open!
42:03I need to see Chloe!
42:04Chloe Courtney!
42:06Mr. Stark
42:07Madam has rested
42:08she receives no one.
42:10Leave at once.
42:11Chloe!
42:12Come out!
42:13Let me explain
42:14I was wrong!
42:15I was wrong!
42:16I was wrong!
42:17What's happening?
42:21Hold him down!
42:32Chloe!
42:32Chloe!
42:34Please!
42:35Just one word!
42:49Chloe! Look!
42:50This silver tube!
42:52You saved me in that alley!
42:53It has your initial C carved into it!
42:56The Pinkerman investigation!
42:58I know everything now!
42:59Three years ago, it was you, not Vivian!
43:02I was wrong! Terribly wrong!
43:06So what, Kyle?
43:08So you figure it out,
43:10and come crashing into my home, begging like a dog?
43:14And what, do you expect me to award you a medal
43:16for finally realizing your mistake?
43:18You want forgiveness?
43:20Gratitude?
43:21Your love is just as cheap as your hatred, Kyle.
43:23It was built on one idiotic, blind lie.
43:25Now that you've figured it out,
43:28tell me,
43:29do the wounds disappear?
43:31Does the blood flow back into my body?
43:34Do the scars vanish?
43:35Does the heart you crushed
43:37start beating again
43:38because you finally find the right savior?
43:53Get this irrational Mr. Stark out of here.
43:56From tonight on,
43:57no strangers or strays come within a hundred yards of Carter Manon
44:00and disturb my wife.
44:02At once sir.
44:03I don't know.
