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 doctor's confirmed it, Master Asher.
00:58One 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 confirm 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.
02:42Where do I go for the interview?
02:46Mr. Blackford.
02:48The contract says sleep assistants only.
02:51Nothing else.
02:57Quiet.
02:59Don't move.
03:01You're sent.
03:02I've been looking for this.
03:07Mr. Blackfield.
03:08Your hand.
03:10It's too warm.
03:14And she has to do it willingly.
03:15That's the second condition.
03:20Finally.
03:21Sleep.
03:27So this.
03:28Is the 10 grand an hour job.
03:50Morning, kitty.
03:52Sleep well last night?
03:54Who are you?
04:04Ezra.
04:05Ash's brother.
04:06And from now on, your scent is my problem.
04:11Ash is 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, that's not in the contract
04:27Contracts can be revised
04:40Ezra
04:42Get your hands off her
04:47Come on Asher, don't be selfish, her scent affects my curtmarks too, unless you'd rather watch me die
04:54He's mine, I found her first
04:56Our bloodline's curse doesn't care who came first, and neither do I
05:03Sweet girl, I've been nothing but trouble for you
05:11Grandma, you're all I have, I'm going to get the money, I promise
05:26So you're the sleep assistant
05:30Hi, I'm Chloe
05:33Asher and I have had a marriage agreement for eight years
05:36The Blackthorn family requires a woman of noble blood
05:39Not a girl like you
05:41You must not leave
05:42However, my purpose in coming today is to make you understand
05:47The Blackclycidi name her emanating blasts from you
05:51I claimed it all eight years ago
05:54Whether Asher lives or dies, that was never my concern
05:57Don't you care if he dies?
06:00Care?
06:01Asher lives, I get my title, he dies, I get his estate
06:04Either way, I win
06:07One hundred thousand, leave
06:08Mr. Blackthorn hired me
06:10Unless he fires me, I'm not leaving
06:12So you're choosing the hard way
06:19Let me go!
06:22Ascent?
06:23That's all you are
06:23A trick of biology
06:25Girls like you don't belong there
06:33Walk away on your own
06:34Or I'll make sure neither of you are a problem
06:49Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
07:03The contract is void
07:05Tell your family
07:06Blackthorns don't take a wife who uses hired hands on women
07:11Asher, I was only
07:12Get out
07:22Do those marks hurt?
07:25No
07:32My grandma
07:33Fluid in her lungs
07:34We're still four thousand piece and three hundred dollars short for the surgery
07:41Call medical
07:41Get a bed ready at Blackthorn Private Hospital
07:43Bring her in this afternoon
07:46I didn't ask you to-
07:47Then work it off
07:47I was missing
07:50You were so scared
07:53Where are we going?
08:00From now on, every label answers to you
08:02And you are still two things
08:20But you're hoping to see how you can make it
08:22You don't want to go to one of those
08:22To answer them
08:22With the plan
08:25I'll try
08:27To ask you
08:27To give them
08:28Among flames
08:32Honey, you're a shipwreck
08:37With your heart
08:55Thank you
09:05Who are you?
09:07I'm Chloe, the sleep assistant
09:08We can let go now
09:1420 years
09:16We looked for 20 years
09:20Mr. Blackthorne just bought those
09:25They don't fit
09:26Asher can buy you a new pair, so can I
09:28Now be quiet, I'm taking you back
09:40So this is what ambrosia smells like
09:42Why is this dress so tight?
09:49Don't move, you'll catch the zipper
09:54As in you
09:57A back this beautiful deserves to be seen
10:05My curse marks only fade when I touch you, Chloe
10:09So from now on
10:11I'm the only one who gets to take this off
10:16What are you doing here?
10:18Going over her security route
10:19She works for me
10:21And I'm the one protecting her
10:29You three stop!
10:31If all three of you keep this up
10:32I quit
10:37You drove her away by fighting over her?
10:39Mother, this isn't
10:40Listen carefully
10:44She has to do it willingly
10:47No force
10:48No fighting over her
10:50And stop pushing her away
10:53Asher
10:54You're less than a month from 30
10:57Ezra
10:58Your curse marks spread another inch today
11:01Kieran
11:02You had three flare outs last week
11:04If she leaves tomorrow morning
11:06You may not even be able to stand by tomorrow afternoon
11:10Will she come back?
11:20So you're the little nobody my sister threw out of Blackthome?
11:24My name is Victoria, Vanessa's sister
11:26Eight years
11:28One woman was meant to be Mrs. Blackthome
11:31And then there's you
11:32Just a distraction they couldn't resist because of a scent
11:37I didn't do anything!
11:39They're dying
11:41The curse hits the heart at 30
11:43Your scent buys them time
11:45Your medicine
11:47You mean?
11:48You're dying
11:55Chloe's in danger
12:04Chloe
12:07Get the helicopter
12:09Now!
12:15You're dying
12:22You're dying
12:23You're dying
12:23You're dying
12:24You've got to
12:26Asher turns 30 this month
12:27No cure
12:28He dies
12:29You think that's love?
12:31You're just a lifeline
12:33Use you up
12:34Throw you out
12:45Marcus paid your grandmom's bills with Blackstone money
12:47Your tuition too
12:49You think that was kindness?
12:51You can't save them
12:51And you don't get to
12:53So disappear
12:54And let my sister become Mrs. Blackstone
13:00You
13:01Show her some places aren't meant for girls like her
13:12This is what drove three men crazy?
13:22I heard Asher likes smelling your hair
13:24Let's see what he smells now
13:38Still keeping the apron?
13:40Planning to marry Rich with that?
13:47Let's see how untouchable you are after tonight
13:49Boys, he's all yours
14:03No, let go of me
14:04Get away
14:06No, let go of me
14:27All of you
14:28Out
14:42Are you hurt?
14:50You three
14:51How much time do you have left?
14:54Enough
14:56You're almost 30
15:00If I leave
15:01It gets worse for you, doesn't it?
15:06I'll go back
15:07But I have a condition
15:09What condition?
15:10No more lies
15:10Not about anything
15:24Running from him
15:29Your contract's up, Chloe
15:31Are you firing me?
15:33Don't mind Asher
15:34He's just bad at asking nicely
15:36We want you to sign a new contract
15:39What new contract?
16:01One that never ends
16:03You're staying with us forever
16:05You're going to be ours
16:06All three of us
16:08Are you insane?
16:10You're brothers
16:10I can only choose one
16:14You don't get to choose
16:32That mark
16:33It's in the family codex
16:35The crown mark
16:38That mark
16:40Only the Blackthrone Queen has it
16:47What are you?
16:49All of you
16:49What is this?
17:05Marcus?
17:07Get mother
17:08Now
17:18Six hundred years
17:20And it's finally appeared
17:22What does that mean?
17:24Two kinds of ambrosia bearers
17:26One suppresses it
17:29The other bears the thorn crown
17:31The promised queen
17:35Only she can end it
17:36How?
17:37On the blood moon
17:38She completes the thorn vow
17:39With all three
17:40Her light
17:41Ends the curse
17:42But
17:44But
17:45The ritual takes her life
17:47The last queen
17:48Hundred years ago
17:49Didn't survive
17:52Then we don't do it
17:53If we don't
17:54All of us die before thirty
17:55If we do it
17:56She dies
17:56If we don't
17:56We die
17:57What kind of sick curse is this?
17:58Wait, that's it?
17:59That's my only choice?
18:00Watch you all die
18:01Take your place?
18:06Give her some space
18:07She can't leave
18:08If she's away from us
18:10More than 72 hours
18:11The curse
18:11I know
18:12I know
18:12I already blocked the garage exit
18:16She's not going anywhere
18:17Volume 7
18:18Three pages we still can't make sense of
18:22If there's another way
18:24It's in there
18:33I won't let you die
18:36You're dying too
18:37What makes you think
18:38You can promise that?
18:39Volume 7
18:40I'll do whatever it takes
18:41To get through
18:42Those last three pages
18:44There has to be another way
18:47Until then
18:47You're not going anywhere
18:51Ashul
18:53Are you scared?
18:57Not of dying
18:59Of losing you
19:29Young misters
19:30The latest report is in
19:31The curse spread 40% faster in 8 hours
19:34The crown mark triggered a backlash
19:38So the curse knows the cure's here
19:40And it's speeding up
19:41Pushing us toward the ritual?
19:43Yes
19:43At this rate if the ritual isn't performed
19:45The marks will reach your hearts within 30 days
19:52Yesterday they were still on my wrist
19:54Overnight they reached my elbow
19:55Pretty fast
20:0230 days?
20:03You've only got 30 days left?
20:05Chloe, sit down
20:06Then do the ritual
20:07No
20:07No
20:08You're all going to die
20:09And you're still saying no?
20:14Three pages in Volume 7
20:15Are still being decoded
20:16Oxford's best are on it
20:18We'll have answers in 72 hours
20:19Until then
20:20No decisions
20:2372 hours
20:24Wait
20:26Asha cancelled the marriage deal
20:28For some poor college girl
20:31I know
20:32Ambrosia
20:33My family has searched for her for 300 years
20:36Is your family cursed too?
20:40Same curse
20:42Same bloodline
20:43We split 600 years ago
20:45They bear black thorn marks
20:47We bear frost
20:49Same cure
20:51Ambrosia
20:51So you need her too?
20:53More than that
20:55The curse only breaks with both families' heirs
20:57They only have half the codex
21:00I leave for New York the day after tomorrow
21:02You get me close to her
21:04I get Ashen back for you
21:05She's just some nobody
21:07If you want her
21:08Why not just take her?
21:10If she's forced
21:11It won't work
21:12It has to be her choice
21:13So she has to leave Black Throne on her own
21:15You drive them apart
21:18I'll be there to catch her
21:28You look like you need something sweet
21:36I didn't order this
21:38It's on me
21:39I'm Sebastian
21:40Just got in from London
21:41Mind if I sit?
21:43I'm a fragrance chemist at Oxford
21:47Your scent's unusual
21:49Vanilla and peach
21:50But the base has this warmth
21:53I can't quite place
21:56You can smell that?
21:57Relax
21:58I've studied natural human scent for 15 years
22:01It's extremely rare
22:02Only three documented cases
22:04A scientist studying scent?
22:06A scientist who's very curious about your scent
22:08Maybe we could be friends
22:22Who is this guy?
22:24Facial recognition
22:25Got nothing
22:26His identity's been scrubbed
22:28Bring in team four
22:29Starting tonight
22:30Her detail goes from four guards to 12
22:32Master
22:33Isn't that a bit
22:37A man with a scrubbed identity
22:39Just happens to sit across from her
22:41You buy that?
22:45Asher
22:47Someone's getting close to her
23:03Karen
23:04Karen
23:05Karen
23:06Karen
23:10Don't
23:11Don't come closer
23:12I can't control it right now
23:25Your marks run deeper than theirs
23:27Why?
23:28Join special forces at 17
23:29Every op the curse spread faster
23:31They came back with medals
23:32I came back with more marks
23:34This one was Afghanistan
23:35They got the bullet out
23:37Not the curse
23:37Does it hurt?
23:39Not now
23:40Never feared dying
23:41Nearly died twice out there
23:43But no
23:44I'm afraid
23:45Afraid of what?
23:46That you'll do the ritual to save us, Chloe
23:48If it comes to that
23:49Choose yourself
23:50It marks them what you die for me
23:55This time
23:56It felt different
23:59Three seconds
24:00Completely gone
24:02Your power's getting stronger
24:03Master Chiron
24:05The team cracked the first page of volume seven
24:09Only the destined queen can end it
24:11Draw all three heirs curse
24:12Then burn it with the crown
24:14The price is
24:18Keep going
24:19Queen's entire life force
24:21But
24:21If all three heirs give ten years with 120 seconds
24:25Before her life force fades
24:26She can be revived same only
24:28Ten years each
24:29For one life
24:31Worth it
24:32You don't get a say in this
24:34We've already decided
24:35Wait, Ashla
24:36You're thirty
24:36Ten years off that
24:37You'd only make it
24:38Better than dead now
24:39Still two pages left
24:40The Oxford team needs at least two more weeks
24:42Pay more
24:43Ten times more
24:44I want it done in a week
24:45Yes, Your Grace
24:48120 seconds
24:49What if one of you hesitates?
24:53We won't
24:56They're decoding volume seven
24:58Once the ritual's done, I'm finished
25:00If Asher dies, I lose everything
25:03I won't be replaced
25:05Then we move before the ritual
25:08Frostthorn extract
25:09If this touches an ambrosia carrier's skin, it seals her scent for 48 hours
25:1348 hours?
25:14And after that?
25:15While it's sealed, their curse marks flare unquatched
25:18In 48 hours, they'll reach the heart
25:20Then they have two choices
25:22Do the ritual and let her die
25:23Or hand her over
25:24I can buy time
25:26Either way, she's mine
25:28What about me?
25:30Once Asher loses the cure, he'll be weak
25:32A weak man always needs someone beside him
25:35That's your chance
25:38My couture show's at the Met in two weeks
25:40This year's theme is Curse and Redemption
25:43Is it about your curse?
25:45No, it's about you
25:46All 36 looks were inspired by you
25:51You're my ultimate muse
25:52And I want you to walk the final look yourself
25:55Me?
25:56I can barely walk in these things
25:59In my designs, you don't need to walk
26:01You just stand there and take everyone's breath away
26:09Put it on
26:10This is a little too
26:16Ezra!
26:17Ezra, I'll do it myself!
26:22Chloe
26:24When you wear this dress, my curse marks feign three times faster
26:28You're my finest creation
26:32She can model in your show
26:33But I'll be at every fitting from now on
26:37Asher, you know nothing about fashion
26:38I know her body better than anyone
26:41What stays covered, what doesn't
26:43That's my call
26:48Why are you suddenly going through your mum's things?
26:51I need to know if she was...
26:54Like me
27:10What is it, sweetheart?
27:12Edward Blackthrown?
27:14He's Asher's father
27:18My mother's name was Elaine
27:19She was the last Ambrosia carrier
27:21It's all in this diary
27:26I've waited 21 years for this day
27:28Edward imprisoned her for three years
27:30Used her like a drug
27:31She escaped pregnant
27:32He hunted her down
27:33She died when I was six
27:34Your family killed my mom!
27:35And now you want to use me the same way?
27:37Edward used your mother like a tool
27:39Not a person
27:40That was his greatest sin
27:41He paid for it with his life
27:43And your sons
27:44How are they any different?
27:45They locked me in that estate
27:46And won't let me leave
27:47Edward didn't care if she lived or died
27:49My sons would sooner die
27:51Than let you do that ritual
27:52Same thing?
28:04How long were you standing out there?
28:06All of it
28:08You knew what your father did, didn't you?
28:12I was eight
28:13He locked her underground
28:15She was screaming
28:15He called it treatment
28:17Later I found out
28:19She was your mother
28:20You knew?
28:21You've always known?
28:22Chloe, I knew her
28:23I didn't know you were her daughter
28:23The codex only described Ambrosia
28:25No names, no photos
28:26But you used the same methods he did
28:28Big money
28:29A locked estate
28:30No way out
28:31My father never took a hit for her
28:32Never dressed her in couture
28:33Never stood before her and admitted he was afraid
28:35I'm risking everything to find another way
28:36Hate my father all you want
28:37But don't put his sins on me
28:39I need time
28:49You look like you're having a rough day
28:51I just found out my employer's family may have killed my mom
28:54What do you think?
28:56Want to talk about it?
28:57Sometimes it's easier with a stranger
28:58It's a family
28:59Very wealthy
29:00I work for them
29:00They need me
29:01For something
29:02I don't fully understand
29:03But they also keep me close
29:04Don't really let me leave
29:05But sometimes I just don't know
29:06Stuck with a family that needs you to survive
29:07You just don't know if it's love
29:09Or if you're just the cure
29:12You're right, I don't know
29:13Chloe, if someone loved you
29:15They'd give you a choice
29:15They wouldn't keep trapping you
29:19Here's my private number
29:22If you ever need someone outside all this
29:24Call me
29:30That's him
29:31Same guy from the school
29:33Run a full ID check
29:34I want everything on him
29:35Copy
29:42We ran the global databases three times
29:44This man does not exist
29:45The card he gave Chloe says
29:47Sebastian Reed, Oxford University
29:49Contacted Oxford
29:50No such person in that department
29:52No identity
29:53No record
29:54Runs into Chloe twice
29:56That's not coincidence
29:58He's moving on her
29:59Do we take him?
30:00No
30:00That kind of clean white needs serious backing
30:03We watch him first
30:04Find out who's working for
30:06Your grace
30:07One more possibility
30:08An old record
30:09Thirty years ago
30:10A branch was cast out of the family
30:12The Thornhields
30:13Thornhields?
30:14My grandfather erased them from the family
30:15Why?
30:16The file is sealed at the highest level
30:18I don't have access
30:19Only the head of the family can open it
30:20Open it
30:22Thornhields split from us six hundred years ago
30:24Same blood, same curse
30:27They bear froststone
30:28And grandfather cast them out
30:30So this Sebastian
30:31He's one of the Thornhields
30:32And he's after Chloe
30:33From now on, Chloe's security is at the highest level
30:36Twelve guards
30:37Three shifts
30:38Around the clock
30:39Ciaran
30:39You lead it yourself
30:41And that man?
30:42Find him
30:43But don't touch him yet
30:44I want to know exactly what Thornhield has left
30:46Then we wipe them out in one move
30:48How sure are you going to tell her?
30:50He's shaken off by what she learned about our father
30:53Tell her and other families after her and you'll break
30:55Stop them first
30:57The more secrets you keep
30:59The deeper the rift gets
31:21Final look
31:23Only I get to dress you for this one
31:24This is even more
31:26Revealing them before
31:28More beautiful
31:29Because I added one last detail
31:32Ezra
31:37I've designed a thousand dresses
31:39This is the only one I made with my hands shaking
31:43When you step out
31:44The world wants your name
31:46But only we know you
31:47And what you truly are
31:50Five minutes of preparation for the show
32:02Enjoy your last night in the spotlight
32:04You little nobody
32:09Bye
32:28I'll see you next time
33:02I'm so sorry.
33:05I'm fine, really.
33:23Her scent is gone!
33:25All units, lock down the venue.
33:27Find the woman in the black suit.
33:28Move!
33:29Someone tampered with her!
33:31Get her out of here.
33:32Now!
33:37Your scent's been sealed.
33:39Don't talk.
33:40Hold on.
