Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Don't come any closer!
00:00:05Am I the only daughter of the Corsody family?
00:00:08Why should I be the one to marry a half-dead vegetable?
00:00:13Chloe is the eldest daughter.
00:00:15She should be the one for this marriage of convenience.
00:00:18I won't marry him!
00:00:19Push me again!
00:00:21I'll jump from here.
00:00:22No, my sweetheart.
00:00:25Arthur, do something.
00:00:27Can you really bear to let our daughter become a living widow at the Carter Manor?
00:00:34It's a legal agreement, signed years ago!
00:00:37The Carter family is the most prominent plettivard in the North.
00:00:41If we back out, we lose the military contracts,
00:00:44and our textile mill and the manor will all be mortgaged by the bank.
00:00:50Vivian, it's too dangerous! Give me your hand!
00:01:09I can take her place and marry Ethan Carter.
00:01:21Thank God! You mean it?
00:01:25I have conditions.
00:01:29Name them.
00:01:31First, the Courtney mill.
00:01:32My mother built that business.
00:01:34I want 20% equity and the land transferred to me within a week.
00:01:39That's my inheritance.
00:01:41Second, after the marriage, I control my mother's loom patent
00:01:45and the South American shipping routes.
00:01:48No interference.
00:01:49Third, transfer Kyle. He'll be Vivian's personal guard.
00:01:53Kyle? The former cavalry officer?
00:01:57I thought he was the one you valued most.
00:01:59Why give him up?
00:02:02I've been the dutiful lady and he the loyal knight for three years.
00:02:06I'm done playing that game.
00:02:08And really, that role suits Vivian better.
00:02:11I'm here!
00:02:13I don't know.
00:02:49Vivian, close your eyes.
00:03:05At the riding field, three years ago, what did you promise me?
00:03:15My duty is to protect the Courtney family.
00:03:21Duty? You knelt and swore.
00:03:24No blade, no bullet would touch me before you.
00:03:51What's your name?
00:03:54Kyle. Kyle Green.
00:03:58This wound. He is clearly the heir to the Stark Arms family of the North.
00:04:04The only son of a prominent Pleiart.
00:04:06Changing his name and sneaking into my house.
00:04:09What exactly does he want?
00:04:11Give me one reason to make you my personal bodyguard.
00:04:15As long as I have a breath left.
00:04:18When danger strikes, I will be the first to rush towards you.
00:04:21Using my own flesh and blood to be Miss Courtney's most indestructible shield.
00:04:25All right. It's you.
00:04:35So the Miss Courtney you swore to protect, that wasn't me.
00:04:39It was that Vivian, the illegitimate one, wasn't it?
00:04:42Mr. Kyle! Miss Vivian fainted again.
00:04:44Her corset too tight.
00:04:46Please help!
00:04:49Fuck.
00:05:16Did you see that retired military officer?
00:05:19Miss Vivian merely fainted from a corset tied too tight, but he pulled out his service
00:05:24pistol and forced the director to treat her personally, right?
00:05:28He carried Miss Vivian all the way in.
00:05:30When he told her, I'm here, don't be afraid, that look in his eyes, now that's true chivalry.
00:05:52So, how much longer is the sole heir to the North's biggest arms plopmate, the Stark
00:05:58family, going to play the loyal old soldier in this Courtney manner?
00:06:01Don't tell me you've caught real feelings for that arrogant Miss Chloe who's always admired
00:06:06you.
00:06:09Chloe?
00:06:10A spoiled, arrogant woman like her can't even compare to a corner of Vivian's skirt.
00:06:15For three years her self-righteous charity and pestering have only made me sick.
00:06:22I've never even looked at her properly.
00:06:44Miss Chloe?
00:06:46Why aren't you in the ward getting bandaged?
00:06:48What are you doing here?
00:06:50You're still bleeding, you need to go back to the ward.
00:06:55Don't touch me.
00:06:59Yes.
00:07:00I should go back.
00:07:07Kyle Stark, game is over.
00:07:10I wish you...
00:07:12get exactly what you desire.
00:07:30Miss Chloe, the doctor at the church sanitary instructed that your gunshot wound could tear
00:07:35open again at any time.
00:07:36You cannot go out.
00:07:40The St. George Art Salon.
00:07:42I have to go.
00:07:43That French master's painting, Dusk in Normandy, is the favorite of Mr. Smith, the Federal Railway
00:07:49Tycorn.
00:07:50If I get it, the Courtney Fextile Mail's shipping line can be revived.
00:07:56Apologies, I have personal matters today.
00:07:59I would like to request a leave of absence.
00:08:03What?
00:08:05You won't even escort me now?
00:08:10Vivian will be at this salon too.
00:08:17I will go prepare the carriage for you.

00:12:15I can't
00:12:16I'm passing out
00:12:29Bastards
00:12:30Let go of me
00:12:32Help

00:15:19Kyle!
00:15:20Kyle!
00:15:22Kyle!
00:15:35You really think a glass of water will fix his two failures?
00:15:39You chose Vivian at the Funrayers
00:15:41I got shot
00:15:44And tonight you left me bleeding on broken glass for her
00:15:47Again
00:15:50Get out of Courtney Manor
00:15:53I can't
00:15:54Can't?
00:15:56Or won't?
00:15:57Because Vivian's here?
00:15:59I failed you
00:16:01I'll take whatever punishment you think I deserve
00:16:03Good
00:16:04You said it
00:16:11Turn around
00:16:13Back straight
00:16:22To be quick
00:16:47Feel better now, Chloe?
00:16:49Not even close.
00:16:52You don't get to walk away from this.
00:16:54You want to keep going?
00:16:56You sure you're ready for what that meant?
00:17:02This little knight's game is over.
00:17:04Get out.
00:17:05And don't you ever put your hands on me again.
00:17:31I'm taking back all that's mine.
00:17:34I'm taking back all that's mine.
00:17:44Seven days.
00:17:45Then it's official.
00:17:47Have the carter set the wedding.
00:17:49Once it's announced, you move out.
00:17:56I know.
00:17:57If that's all, I'll take my leave.
00:18:03Prepare the carriage.
00:18:04I don't want to waste another second in this foul, decaying house.
00:18:09Father, you were in the study so long.
00:18:11Don't tell me you gave her the mill's second half dividends as her dowry.
00:18:15She's marrying into the carter family.
00:18:17That's compensation she deserves.
00:18:20Compensation?
00:18:21Like she's being sent off to die.
00:18:24The Carters run half the north.
00:18:26Even if Ethan's useless and barely alive, their treasury certainly isn't.
00:18:31Some people really do land on their feet, huh?
00:18:35Mother, don't you think so?
00:18:40Vivian, mind your manners.
00:18:42Your sister is making a sacrifice for this family.
00:18:50Just like her short-lived mother, Isabel.
00:18:53Always so noble.
00:18:57Vivian, an illegitimate daughter who born in the shadows.
00:19:00Don't you dare badmouth my mother.
00:19:02You shut up!
00:19:03I'm father's favorite daughter.
00:19:05What are you?
00:19:06Chloe, she is.
00:19:07After all, you're half-sister.
00:19:09You share the same blood.
00:19:11Didn't Isabel teach you how a well-bred lady should speak?
00:19:22Father, she hits me!
00:19:24Chloe!
00:19:25What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:19:38That's enough.
00:19:39Kyle, get this madwoman out of my sight.
00:19:41Now!
00:19:43She doesn't step out without my say.
00:20:01I don't know.
00:20:02I don't know.
00:20:20Anne, please.
00:20:23Anne, please.
00:20:27William, please.
00:20:30Be...Ï€...
00:20:45Mommy, is daddy going to kick us out of the manor?
00:20:48Shh, my little Robin, don't cry.
00:20:50Mommy swears to God that I will always protect you and never leave your side.
00:21:13Mother, you broke your vow in front of God.
00:21:16You said you'd never leave me.
00:21:19Yet that night, you drank an entire bottle of Lopinock.
00:21:27I'm going through with the marriage contract,
00:21:29and I'm leaving this rotting manor for good.
00:21:33I won't put my life in a weak man's hands.
00:21:37What belongs to me, I will hold on to myself.
00:21:42Rest in peace, mother.
00:21:49Miss, the master sent word.
00:21:52The textile contract has taken effect at City Hall.
00:21:55The Carter family carriage will arrive before sunset.
00:21:57As for your guard, Kyle, tell him.
00:22:02Tell him to keep Kyle.
00:22:04Seems like a better fit for his precious illegitimate daughter.
00:22:08I don't want something so dirty.
00:22:14Miss Chloe, what's going on?
00:22:16I'm leaving the manor.
00:22:18The wooden crate in the corner, filled with the Courtney family's old account books.
00:22:22Take it to Arthur's reception room.
00:22:24You're leaving?
00:22:25Where are you going?
00:22:26That's no longer your concern.
00:22:31Just carry out my final order.
00:22:40Kyle.
00:22:44Goodbye.
00:23:02Mr. Courtney.
00:23:04Miss Chloe ordered me to return these items.
00:23:06If there are no further instructions, I will take my leave.
00:23:18Kyle, my knight, you're not going anywhere.
00:23:22Chloe left you behind.
00:23:24From now on, you answer to me.
00:23:26What did you say?
00:23:27Chloe's marriage contract with the Carter family is signed.
00:23:31She's leaving for the Carter Manor tonight.
00:23:32A married woman doesn't keep a young man like you around.
00:23:37You'll serve Vivian from now on.
00:23:40Sister really is noble.
00:23:42Marrying Ethan, that walking corpse who can't even open his eyes.
00:23:46In exchange for military contracts in the Carter treasury.
00:23:51Not a bad trade, though.
00:23:53Some people really know how to bargain.
00:24:09No!
00:24:12No!
00:24:14She's not marrying him!
00:24:17No!
00:24:18She's not marrying him!
00:24:23No!
00:24:25Chloe!
00:24:26Chloe!
00:24:27Chloe!
00:24:37Chloe!
00:25:20Mrs. Carter has instructed that you must take meticulous care of young master Ethan.
00:25:25Although everyone knows this marriage is merely a bargaining ship in exchange for military
00:25:29supply orders, since you have taken the Carter family name, you should fulfill the duties
00:25:33expected of a wife.
00:25:34Do not slack off.
00:25:36I know my place.
00:25:37You may leave and close the door.
00:25:58Is it an illusion?

00:35:08the tensioned humotharax.
00:35:52Ms. Courtney, Ms. professional surgical tools, the smell of carbonic acid. Only Vivian studied
00:36:00at the Royal College of Physicians back then. It was her. It had to be her.
00:36:23Relax, old friend. You look like you're about to start a duel, not a confession. Miss Vivian
00:36:28will sween at this display. Honestly, not even the Governor's daughter had a setup like this.
00:36:36You're certain it's really her? Some old debts get settled tonight.
00:36:47Mr. Stark certainly went all out. These white roses came in by private train. Just for
00:36:53tonight. Pretty flowers don't mean a thing. She was born in the shadows. Luck is the only
00:36:57reason she caught his eye. Careful. Both Courtney sisters are cunning. Chloe, the unloved one,
00:37:04is already in Carter Manor, at Ethan's side. The clock has struck nine. Where is our guest
00:37:09guest of honour?
00:37:21Are you certain that sealed invitation reached her? I'm sure of it. My man handed it to her
00:37:25maid personally. Perhaps a carriage accident?
00:37:32Lucas, send ten riders on fast horses. Check Courtney Manor, the St. George Theatre, all her
00:37:38salones and dressmakers, anywhere she could be. Turn Boston upside down until you find Vivian
00:37:43Courtney. At once, sir. I'll prepare the stables.
00:37:51Attend a dinner with a washed-up soldier? It'd ruin my French silk. I'm Vivian Courtney. I'll
00:37:57be marrying the owner of the Stark Armories. Hmm. But Kyle is handsome, loyal, willing to
00:38:03die for you. Not even a little tempted?
00:38:05A loyal dog, that's all. I only played along because Chloe was stupid enough to adore him.
00:38:10Watching the man she wasted three years through crawl at my feet, the feeling is truly indescribable.
00:38:15Father always gave me what I wanted. When Chloe got into the Royal College, I went too. Father
00:38:21donated an entire anatomy building to get me in. I never attended a single class. The stench
00:38:27of blood and carpalmic acid makes me sick. Chloe has endured you for years. She had it coming.
00:38:33Her and the dead mother of her. Now she's attached herself to a half-dead man. Kyle the dog
00:38:40is useless to me. Once I have the Stark Ring, I'm done with this pathetic family.
00:38:50You never saw me here. Not a word.
00:38:58I never attended a single class. The stench of blood and carpalmic acid makes me sick. Watching
00:39:05the man she wasted three years on crawl at my feet. Kyle is just a useless dog.
00:39:17Kyle!
00:39:21Kyle!
00:39:33Sir, you called for me. Bring all the Pinkerton files on the South End Dock assassination
00:39:37three years ago. Every trace of the person who saved me.
00:39:42Yes, sir. The lead detective just sent the final report.
00:39:48The detective recovered this from an opium addict. He found it in that alley's blooded puddle
00:39:53the night you were shot. The mark on the back belongs to the late Mrs. Isabel Courtney.
00:39:58Miss Chloe wore it as a personal relic. Old patrolman swears he saw a cloaked woman
00:40:04with deep golden hair run from the alley that night. She smelled of carporic acid.
00:40:09Her hands were skilled. Vivian retches at the scent of blood.
00:40:14We checked city rental records. Miss Chloe's temporary hospital apartment that night, less than 200
00:40:22yards from that alley.
00:40:32Chloe! It was Chloe! All this time, it was you!
00:40:38What have I done? God! I broke her heart!
00:40:43I ruined everything!
00:40:51Horse! Now! Carter Manor!
00:41:08Open! I need to see Chloe! Chloe Courtney!
00:41:12Mr. Stark, madam has rested. She receives no one. Leave at once.
00:41:17Chloe! Come out! Let me explain! I was wrong! I was wrong about everything!
00:41:28Hold him down!
00:41:29Hold him down!
00:41:38Chloe! Chloe! Please! Just one word!
00:41:54Chloe! Look! This silver tube! You saved me in that alley! It has your initial C carved into it! The
00:42:02Pinkerman investigation! I know everything now! Three years ago, it was you, not Vivian! I was wrong! Terribly wrong!
00:42:12So what, Kyle?
00:42:14So what, Kyle?
00:42:15So you figure it out, and come crashing into my home, begging like a dog? And what, do you expect
00:42:21me to award you a medal for finally realizing your mistake? You want forgiveness? Gratitude?
00:42:27Your love is just as cheap as your hatred, Kyle. It was built on one idiotic blind lie. Now that
00:42:32you've figured it out, tell me. Do the wounds disappear? Does the blood flow back into my body? Do the
00:42:40scars vanish? Does the heart you crushed start beating again because you finally find the right savior?
00:42:59Get this irrational Mr. Stark out of here. From tonight on, no strangers or strays come within a hundred yards
00:43:06of Carter Manon and disturb my wife. At once, sir.
00:43:31You planted all of these? Not just planted. I chose every variety myself. I signed off on the design just
00:43:40before I collapsed. I knew they'd bloom when you finally felt at home here.
00:43:44I only mentioned it once. At a St. George's Salon Tea three years ago.
00:43:49You said pink roses weren't as aggressive as red ones. That they had a gentle, almost merciful strength. Like a
00:43:54healing wound. Quiet but unbreakable. I never forgot it.
00:43:58There's an English variety past that path called Isabelle's Dawn. A pale gold one. I thought it matched your mother's
00:44:03hair in her portrait.
00:44:10Thank you, Ethan. This means more than you know.
00:44:14Then it was worth it. This place. You don't have to fight here. A place for you. Or, for us.
00:44:24I love it. Our garden sounds perfect.
00:44:36There is a piano hidden here? I played several times before my coma. The doctor said finger movement aided nerve
00:44:43recovery. Will you be my first audience, Mrs. Carter? I may be out of practice.
00:44:51It would be my honor, Mr. Carter.
00:45:03Well? Did my clumsy playing bearing bore you? It was beautiful. More beautiful than any court performance I have ever
00:45:11heard. Truly.
00:45:25She smiles at him. Like that. In the past three years, she never looked at me that way. Not even
00:45:33once.
00:45:42Chloe.
00:45:43Chloe.
00:45:44Chloe.
00:45:45Is mine.
00:45:48Chloe.
00:45:54Is mine.
00:45:57Chloe.
00:45:58Chloe.
00:45:58You're mine.
00:45:59Because you want me to.
00:46:01Finished bathing?
00:46:02Yes.
00:46:04The water chased away the chill.
00:46:07Chloe.
00:46:08Come here.
00:46:22Cold?
00:46:24No.
00:46:28Then, you are nervous?
00:46:34Ethan, you just recovered. We can take things slow.
00:46:37The doctor says every part of me has awakened. I'm not as fragile as you think. I know exactly what
00:46:42I crave.
00:46:45It's strong enough to claim you completely and make you feel every inch of me.
00:46:51Ethan.
00:46:52I'm here.
00:46:53Please.
00:46:55Tell me you want me to continue or do you want me to stop?
00:47:01I want you.
00:47:13Remember this. You are mine, Mrs. Carter. Body and soul. All mine.
00:47:25No. Don't. Don't touch her.
00:47:30She's mine. Chloe. She was supposed to be mine.
00:47:51Hey!
00:47:53Well, look at this fine lady. Where you headed, sweetheart?
00:47:58Move.
00:47:59Ooh. Feisty. That sick old man behind you? He's not stopping us.
00:48:09Last warning. Crawl back to your gutter.
00:48:16Uh!
00:48:19Uh!
00:48:21Uh!
00:48:25Uh!
00:48:26Uh!
00:48:29Uh!
00:48:29Uh!
00:48:31Uh!
00:48:31Uh!
00:48:33Uh!
00:48:34Uh!
00:48:38Uh!
00:48:42Uh!
00:48:44Uh!
00:48:45Uh!
00:48:48Uh!
00:48:50Chloe!
00:48:51Are you-
00:48:53Mr. Stark.
00:48:55Thank you for your recklessness.
00:48:56From now on, stay away from my wife.
00:48:59We shall leave now.
00:49:00Do not let this filthy blood stain your skirt.
00:49:05Is the wound deep? Does it still hurt? We need a doctor, now.
00:49:35Good lord. Is that Mass Tilesdarn? Who on earth is he waiting for with all those roses?
00:49:41Who else? Our new Chortney president. There's been talk for weeks.
00:49:45That's a bold move. The Carter engagement has already been announced all over Boston.
00:49:49That's exactly why this is going to be a scene.
00:50:05Chloe, you done for the day? I got us a table at Tremont Hotel. They brought in a royal chef
00:50:11from Paris. I remember you loved French soup. Come have dinner with me. Just dinner.
00:50:15Mr. Stark, I warned you clearly to stay away from my fiancé.
00:50:20What Chloe and I have is none of your business. Move!
00:50:22None of my business. She is my fiancé, the future lady of Carter Manor. Your behavior is blatant harassment and
00:50:28an insult to the entire Carter family.
00:50:33I'm sure the Boston girl would love the headlines Stark air publicly harasses a married lady.
00:50:40Chloe! I only want dinner. To talk. Once, please. Just one last goodbye.
00:50:51Move. Let's go. The night air is cold.
00:50:56Consider this your final warning. One more incident and the Stark family's Pennsylvania rail bid will run into serious trouble.
00:51:02Your father would not appreciate that.
00:51:06What's the like?
00:51:17What are you doing?
00:51:18Are you doing?
00:51:19What are you doing?
00:51:33I'm not buying a house into a shrine.
00:51:33I am saving my own house.
00:51:34It's a miracle when my dad was in a house.
00:51:46Chloe, wait.
00:51:48Chloe, wait!
00:51:49Move.
00:51:50Let's talk. Five minutes. No, three. Just give me three minutes.
00:51:53Mr. Stark, your time may be worthless, but every second of mine decides whether this mill survives.
00:51:59So move. Do not make me call the constable.
00:52:01I know. I wasted three full years of your life. A thousand days and night.
00:52:06I'll pay it back with my life. With every breath I have left.
00:52:08I'm not asking you to forgive me now. Just let me watch you from a distance.
00:52:12Let me hear your voice, even like this, and I'll be satisfied.
00:52:16Like this? Blocking my carriage like a lowborn sailor, reeking of cheap wine, spouting this self-pitting nonsense?
00:52:21Kyle, is this what you call making amends? This is nothing but harassment. It only makes me sick.
00:52:25Sick? Chloe, how can you say that? I'm Kyle, your knight, who you were supposed to love.
00:52:30Are you supposed to? There is no law saying I have to love a blind fool who kept throwing me
00:52:35into danger again and again and trampling my dignity into the mud.
00:52:38It wasn't like that. I was deceived. I thought the one who saved me in the alley with the silver
00:52:44tube was Vivian.
00:52:45Your apologies, your tears, your hollow claims that you didn't know, they are cheap. Disgustingly cheap compared to the blood
00:52:53I have really shed.
00:52:54Now get out of my sight. Permanently.
00:52:56No! Chloe! Don't leave!
00:52:59I was wrong! I truly see it now! Come back! I don't want anything else!
00:53:03Stark wealth, my pride, my life, all yours! Come back, please!
00:53:07Let go.
00:53:07I won't! Not while I'm alive! Kill me, Chloe! Tell the driver to whip the horses! Run me over! I'd
00:53:12die happily under your wheel!
00:53:25No! Don't go! Chloe! Don't leave me! I was wrong! I'm so sorry!
00:53:45Sir, the deed has been returned by Miss Chloe's personal solicitor, unopened.
00:53:49Did she say that herself? Any message?
00:53:51Her maid Anna passed it along. Miss Chloe appreciates the gesture, but she has no use for it.
00:53:56No use? Did she even open the case? Does she have any idea how much that is worth?
00:54:00Tons of gold!
00:54:02Anna said Miss Chloe, glanced only at the stark crest on the cover, then told them to throw it out,
00:54:07and she included a handwritten note.
00:54:11Charity? She calls this charity? That's half my entire fortune!
00:54:15My most serious promise and protection!
00:54:17Sir, in terms of worldly wealth, it is priceless.
00:54:19But I'm afraid...
00:54:21Miss Chloe no longer needs protection from you.
00:54:26Since waking, Ethan Carter has given her full control over the largest underground vaults
00:54:30in the Carter family.
00:54:31Her current power and wealth are far beyond the immediate value of your deed.
00:54:36So, she is not refusing out of spite?
00:54:39She truly no longer needs me at all?
00:54:43I'm afraid so, sir.
00:54:44Leave me.
00:54:58Miss Chloe, the mill has erased massive debt and outpaced southern competitors in just months.
00:55:03Boston is calling you the iron lady who turned everything around.
00:55:06What is the key to this miracle?
00:55:07We cut away rotten old rules, brought in the best technology, and took back control of our own fate.
00:55:13Rumors in society say your marriage to the Carter heir secured this funding.
00:55:17How do you respond to claims that you traded marriage for an empire?
00:55:20My marriage is the choice of two independent souls.
00:55:23I'm lucky to have a partner whose vision and spirit match my own.
00:55:27We stand as equals.
00:55:28We are not vines clinging to each other.
00:55:30And your past scandals, your tangled history with the stark heir,
00:55:33do you consider that chapter fully closed?
00:55:35The ugly, dragged-out chapters of my past were burned to ash long ago.
00:55:39My gaze now belongs only to Courtney's future,
00:55:42and to the man by my side, who is worthy of being cherished for a lifetime.
00:56:05Sir, madam, today's front page.
00:56:22Let all of Boston know you're mine, Mrs. Carter.
00:56:25You're showing off, Mr. Carter.
00:56:42You're showing off, Mr. Carter.
00:57:06Chloe, the paper says you're getting married next month?
00:57:10Yes.
00:57:11Don't, don't marry him.
00:57:13Please.
00:57:14I was wrong.
00:57:15I truly see that now.
00:57:17I love you, Chloe.
00:57:19You were the only one I ever loved.
00:57:22I was blinded by that viper and my own damn pride.
00:57:26Give me another chance.
00:57:28I'll give up everything.
00:57:29The stark chamber, the armories, my name, all of it.
00:57:32I want nothing.
00:57:33I only want to be your Kyle, your personal sword, your guard.
00:57:37I'll wait outside your door like a dog forever.
00:57:39Just don't marry another man.
00:57:40I'll lose my mind without you.
00:57:42I'll die without you.
00:57:43Everything you're saying now on your knees like a kicked dog is far too late.
00:57:47My heart wasn't some broken thing waiting for your handouts.
00:57:50It died completely in your coldness.
00:57:52Then it started beating again, beside another man's fireplace.
00:57:57It belongs to Ethan now.
00:57:59Completely.
00:58:00Only him.
00:58:02Let's go upstairs.
00:58:03The night airs warn me out.
00:58:05As you wish.
00:58:23After La Traviata ends tonight, she will walk alone to the alley for her carriage.
00:58:28Make it clean.
00:58:30Carve up that arrogant face with boning knife.
00:58:33And her right arm, now that it's just healed, break it with an iron rod.
00:58:37I'll make her regret ever crossing me!
00:58:42We get paid to clean up messes.
00:58:44Rest assured, we'll handle it clean.
00:58:47Hmm.
00:58:50My dear sister Chloe, when you're a broken-armed monster, let's see if Ethan Kerala still treasures you.
00:58:58And Kyle, he'll run from you like the plague.
00:59:10Miss Chloe Courtney?
00:59:12Who are you?
00:59:14Who sent you?
00:59:18Someone paid a handsome price to teach you a lesson you'll never forget.
00:59:22Stand still, and save yourself the pain.
00:59:28Help!
00:59:30Assassins!
00:59:31Grrrr!
00:59:51Where are you running?
00:59:53The employer specifically wants that right arm.
00:59:57Chloe, move!
01:00:06Get to the light!
01:00:07Go!
01:00:08Who's this lunatic?
01:00:09Take him down too!
01:00:11The boss said, no witnesses!
01:00:13No!
01:00:18Cops!
01:00:18Let's go!
01:00:20This time, I was the first to protect you.
01:00:25Right?
01:00:27I wasn't late.
01:00:37Kyle!
01:00:38Hold on!
01:00:39Help!
01:00:40Help!
01:00:41Send for a doctor!
01:00:46Good.
01:00:47You're awake.
01:00:48This is a cashier's check from Chase Bank to cover your emergency care and ongoing treatment.
01:00:53The pouch has 50 gold coins, extra compensation for your injuries.
01:00:58If there's a problem.
01:00:59If there's a problem, have your representative to contact the lawyers at Courtney Textile Mills.
01:01:02Fees?
01:01:03Compensation?
01:01:05Chloe, is that really what this is now?
01:01:07Settling up with cold, hard gold?
01:01:09The assassins came for me.
01:01:11You took a knife meant for me.
01:01:12I'm covering all costs and damages.
01:01:14I'm covering all costs and damages.
01:01:15It's only fair.
01:01:16That's separate.
01:01:16Separate?
01:01:17What about my life?
01:01:19I nearly died in that filthy alley.
01:01:22Can that be settled with a few coins?
01:01:24Calm down.
01:01:25The attack has been reported to the Pinkman Detective Agency.
01:01:27Vivian is the one behind it and she won't get away.
01:01:30This whole matter will be settled legally, financially, very soon.
01:01:33Vivian.
01:01:33It really was her.
01:01:35All my fault.
01:01:36If I hadn't been blind to take a viper for my savior.
01:01:40Don't.
01:01:40Don't look at me like I'm a stranger.
01:01:42Please whip me.
01:01:43Stab me.
01:01:43Do anything.
01:01:44But don't pay me off.
01:01:45Don't turn what we had in.
01:01:46Kyle Stark, from the night three years ago when you shielded Vivian and let that lead bullet
01:01:52tear through my arm, your life, your pain, regret, they have meant nothing to me ever since.
01:02:14Mr. Carter, your bride.
01:02:16She is like an angel come down to earth.
01:02:25Chloe.
01:02:29Is it too plain?
01:02:31Maybe I should wear my mother's ruby necklace to balance the white?
01:02:34No.
01:02:35Not at all.
01:02:36No jewel in the world deserves to outshine you at this moment.
01:02:41Come.
01:02:42Let me look at you properly.
01:02:59In the long darkness of my coma, I had a thousand broken dreams.
01:03:03Only one vision burned clear in my soul.
01:03:06You.
01:03:07In perfect white coming toward me.
01:03:09Mrs. Carter, you are ten thousand times more beautiful than I ever dared imagine.
01:03:14Ethan.
01:03:18Thank you for showing me that wearing a wedding dress can be something beautiful.
01:03:21Something I don't have to fear.
01:03:23It isieuOLD.
01:03:32I know.
01:03:32Okay.
01:03:45Bye.
01:03:49Bye.
01:03:52Bye.
01:03:53Kyle! Kyle!
01:03:56Look like a new dress!
01:04:02Look at the skirt and lace!
01:04:04Doesn't it look like a wedding dress?
01:04:06I asked the modeer to make it that way.
01:04:10Miss Chloe, I'm hired as your sword and guard,
01:04:12not a court dressmaker. This silly nonsense
01:04:14wastes my time patrolling the man at Powder Minery.
01:04:17It's boring.
01:04:27But I only wanted to wear it for you.
01:04:32Ladies and gentlemen, to the most stubborn
01:04:35and somehow the luckiest man in New England
01:04:38who has at last found his soulmate.
01:04:40To Ethan Carter.
01:04:42And to Mrs. Carter,
01:04:44the miracle of you melting this old glacier.
01:04:47To the couple!
01:04:48To Mr. and Mrs. Carter!
01:04:54Sir, there's a telegram for you.
01:04:58What happened?
01:05:01An uninvited guest.
01:05:04Kyle Stark.
01:05:18Good heavens! That's Kyle Stark!
01:05:21He looks like a corpse. He is not here to offer congratulations.
01:05:32Mr. Stark, you're not on the guest list.
01:05:34I didn't came for an invitation.
01:05:37Just...
01:05:37one last word.
01:05:39Then say it elsewhere. Leave.
01:05:41So defensive, Mr. Carter.
01:05:43I only came to offer a blessing.
01:05:48Chloe...
01:05:48I wish you...
01:05:51every happiness.
01:06:25You're welcome.
01:06:26Remove him.
01:06:27Yes, sir.
01:06:29Mr. Stark, this way.
01:06:32Take care.
01:06:45Wish you happiness!
01:06:47Wish you happiness!
01:06:51How can you be happy without me, Chloe?
01:06:54How can you have joy?
01:06:58This isn't over, Chloe.
01:07:01I told you I'd die without you.
01:07:05So we might as well...
01:07:06go to hell together.
01:07:09I am no longerç´š old, Chloe.
01:07:20How do I get your Мороз?
01:07:22You die!
01:07:25We're locked down.
01:07:27Yeah, let's see.
01:07:27capital big blind Rozho.
01:07:28What have you done?
01:07:33Theongs?
01:07:37Please消 the� inadmorphs?
01:07:47God in heaven, who is that?
01:07:49Kyle Stark, how dare he storm in like a madman?
01:07:55Holster your weapons!
01:07:56Anyone fires, I drop it!
01:08:00Kyle Stark, you mad dog!
01:08:02Mad dog?
01:08:03I'm the mad dog?
01:08:05You're the one who's getting married to a dead man.
01:08:07When will you stop this madness?
01:08:10Get out!
01:08:13I am mad.
01:08:14I've been mad since I knew the truth.
01:08:18Since you threw me away like trash in the mud.
01:08:21Look carefully.
01:08:22This is high purity nitroglycerine, fresh from Stark armories.
01:08:28Every marble column, every wooden bench.
01:08:32My men have packed them full of black powder.
01:08:44One step off that bench and I drop it.
01:08:47This bottle of nitroglycerine is extremely unstable.
01:08:50One crack on the marble.
01:08:52Boom!
01:08:53This cathedral and everyone inside burns to hell.
01:08:59What do you want, Kyle?
01:09:01Chase bank vault keys?
01:09:03Pennsylvania rail rights?
01:09:04Name your price.
01:09:06Lower that bottle, and I'll have a D drawn immediately.
01:09:16Settle.
01:09:17You own half the north, yet you cannot fill my rotting body.
01:09:21You think this is about money?
01:09:27Chloe, I want nothing but seven days.
01:09:32What?
01:09:32Give me seven final days.
01:09:35I won't ruin your wedding.
01:09:36I won't touch you.
01:09:38I only want to stay near you, as a true, lowly guard.
01:09:43Like I should have.
01:09:45Let me serve you.
01:09:46Even be your step.
01:09:49Or you may ignore me.
01:09:53Watch me fill the bloody hole I dug over three years.
01:09:56After seven days, you may order me to die or exile me.
01:10:01I swear it on the Stark name and my soul.
01:10:05I will keep my word.
01:10:10What if...
01:10:11I refuse?
01:10:14Then today won't be your wedding day.
01:10:16It'll be the mass funeral for half of Boston's elite.
01:10:22Including you, Chloe.
01:10:24Including Ethan.
01:10:26Including everyone in this room.
01:10:34Fine.
01:10:35I grant you seven days.
01:10:38Now recall your men and remove the powder from this church.
01:10:44When you pass judgment on the seventh day.
01:10:49The powder will be destroyed on the seventh day.
01:10:53My men have already left the shadows.
01:10:58Chloe.
01:11:02For this final mercy.
01:11:17I'm sorry.
01:11:18I underestimated that Lunatork's limits.
01:11:20It's not your fault.
01:11:22He's completely insane.
01:11:23But he doesn't dare break his oath.
01:11:26Seven days.
01:11:27Let it be a disgusting spectacle.
01:11:29Give him seven days.
01:11:30Then send him to hell permanently.
01:11:36Whatever you decide.
01:11:37The Carter guns stand with you always.
01:11:54Chloe.
01:11:56Tremont Hotel's French chef made truffle omelettes and fresh scones.
01:11:59You mentioned craving them three years ago.
01:12:04I waited all night for the first batch.
01:12:07I also have warm goat's milk.
01:12:09Drive.
01:12:11If you don't want it, throw it away.
01:12:13It's okay.
01:12:14Feed it to your hounds.
01:12:33Mrs. Chloe, the military cannot ignore your steamween patent dispute.
01:12:42We will not risk a contract this large on legal uncertainty.
01:12:47That's the Army's position.
01:12:48Mr. James, that dispute is already in final arbitration.
01:12:52We hold conclusive evidence.
01:13:06Mrs. Chloe, no wonder they call you the Golden Hand.
01:13:10The Southern Patent Troll has dropped every claim.
01:13:13He's accepted a permanent low-rate license.
01:13:15All barriers are gone.
01:13:17We can sign today.
01:13:33Send a rider to the Stark Chamber at once.
01:14:05Miss, a special courier from Mr. Stark.
01:14:08He insisted you open it yourself.
01:14:43Go back to your master and tell him this.
01:14:45My only dream now is to never see him again.
01:14:49Tell him to stop sending these ridiculous toys.
01:14:52His kindness makes me sick.
01:15:08Chloe, look out!
01:15:15Chloe, look out!
01:15:17Chloe!
01:15:18Chloe!
01:15:18Chloe!
01:15:35Are you hurt anywhere?
01:15:42You're not hurt?
01:15:46Anna, call a medical carriage.
01:15:48Send Mr. Stark to Massachusetts General.
01:15:52A minor incident.
01:15:54We proceed to the steam room.
01:15:58Are you sure you're alright?
01:16:01Thanks to you, I'm still alive.
01:16:18Mrs. Carter, it truly makes Boston shine tonight that you and Ethan could come.
01:16:23The Federal Congress is full of praise for the steam medical transport line you established for the frontline wounded soldiers'
01:16:28camp last time.
01:16:29You flatter me.
01:16:30The Carter family had a solid foundation in capital and technology.
01:16:33I just made some insignificant arrangements.
01:16:36She's always so modest.
01:16:38Without her remarkable strategic vision and decisive hand, all the gold in the world would just be dead weight.
01:16:43This must be the Miss Chloe who brought both the Carter family and the Courtney group back from the dead,
01:16:48right?
01:16:48I've heard so much about you.
01:16:50I'm Charles.
01:16:52I wonder if I have the honor of asking you for a waltz tonight.
01:16:56And while we're at it, we can chat about our medical cooperation for the coal mine laborers in the South.
01:17:05Mr. Charles, Mrs. Carter's dance card is full tonight.
01:17:09Regarding the cooperation matters, you can submit a visitor-tration letter to the clerk of the Cortina Textile tomorrow morning
01:17:14at 10 o'clock.
01:17:15What the hell are you?
01:17:17I'm talking to Mrs. Carter.
01:17:19Is it a lowly servant's place to interrupt?
01:17:21Who I am is not important.
01:17:23What's important is that Mrs. Carter does not wish to be disturbed by the stench on you.
01:17:29The air here is too foul.
01:17:30Let's go look at the paintings over there first.
01:17:37Look, isn't that young master Kyle of the Stark family?
01:17:40How is he standing there exactly like a tail-whipping footman?
01:17:44He has shamed the Stark name into the gutter.
01:17:46Uh, what footman?
01:17:47I say he's lost his damn mind.
01:17:49I heard he relentlessly harassed Mrs. Carter before, even pulling out dynamite in the church.
01:17:54Now he's acting like a beaten dog, wagging his tail and begging for pity.
01:18:00Such an arrogant man back then.
01:18:01Now he's worse than a spinless slug.
01:18:09This one won't be too cold, it won't hurt your stomach, and I tested it with a silver needle.
01:18:15It's safe.
01:18:16Mr. Stark, this self-gratifying body charade of yours is not only suffocating but so redundant it's ridiculous.
01:18:22The security here was personally arranged by Ethan.
01:18:24I feel 100% safe.
01:18:27I feel 100% safe.
01:18:36Kyle Stark.
01:18:39Do you even see yourself right now?
01:18:42Worse than the cold, arrogant guard you were three years ago?
01:18:45The man who only had eyes for another?
01:18:47You are far more disgusting and pathetic to me now.
01:18:51At least back then you had a ridiculous, proud loyalty.
01:18:55Blind, ridiculous, but real.
01:18:58Now you're groveling like this, you are not even as good as a real dog.
01:19:15Let's go home, shall we?
01:19:16As you wish, my love.
01:19:41I'm nervous, too.
01:19:48Mr. Stark, I believe Chloe made herself clear last night.
01:19:52Harassing a betrothed lady is no gentleman's act.
01:19:54Chloe, just a few minutes.
01:19:55After these two matters, I'll disappear at once.
01:19:58First, Margaret, Vivian's mother.
01:20:00Full evidence of her embezzled and illegal man trade.
01:20:02She won't trouble you anymore.
01:20:04Second, regarding the case in which Arthur secretly transferred the core steam engine patent belonged to your mother, Lady Isabel,
01:20:09my men have caught the last notary who fled off swords right at the docks.
01:20:12This is a copy of his sworn sign testimony,
01:20:14together with the rest of the evidence enough to destroy Arthur Courtney completely.
01:20:25With this, everything between us aside of that ridiculous alleyway rescue three years ago,
01:20:30all debts, including this extra favor of yours, are settled.
01:20:34Tomorrow is the seventh day.
01:20:35Keep the oath you swore before the bishop and all Boston's elite.
01:20:39Disappear from my life, permanently and completely.
01:20:42I want none of your love, your regret, your self-destruction.
01:20:46Your disappearance is the only atonement left.
01:20:49Very well.
01:20:51As you wish.
01:21:09Here I am.
01:21:15These seven days, I watched your humility, your self-harm, your self-righteous devotion.
01:21:19But I feel nothing, Kyle.
01:21:21My heart looks at your efforts the way it looks at those Dutch white roses you kept sending.
01:21:25Other people see something fresh, expensive, romantic.
01:21:28To me, nothing.
01:21:29No scent, no trace of life at all.
01:21:32Every sense in my body has turned completely away from you.
01:21:35These seven days brought me not a single moment of peace, only endless exhaustion.
01:21:40Watching you perform love, watching you grovel like a dog, it suffocates me.
01:21:45Every kindness, every atonement, it all feels like a heavy, filthy stone around my neck.
01:21:52Time is up.
01:21:53I gave you your last chance.
01:21:55My answer is no.
01:21:57Fulfill your blood oath to God and the church.
01:22:01Walk out of my sight forever.
01:22:03Do not die.
01:22:05Your death would disgust me and cheapen my name.
01:22:09Do not come back.
01:22:11Your very presence makes me sick.
01:22:15This is the only mercy I have left for you.
01:22:20Chloe.
01:22:22As you wish.
01:22:25May you and Ethan live a long, happy life together.
01:22:43Come here, Mrs. Carter.
01:22:53Who is it?
01:22:55Miss!
01:22:56Please open!
01:22:57It's terrible!
01:22:58Mr. Stark!
01:23:00Kyle Stark!
01:23:01He's killed himself!
01:23:03Come in.
01:23:06Half an hour ago, in his private apartments, the messenger from Mr. Morris said, Mr. Stark
01:23:12used the Colt revolver he brought back from his service.
01:23:15By the time they found him, he was already gone.
01:23:19Mr. Morris said it's a handwritten suicide note, sealed with the Stark wax.
01:23:23It's addressed only to you if it was to be delivered personally.
01:23:28Chloe?
01:23:29From the moment Kyle Stark pulled that trigger, everything about him stopped being part of
01:23:34my life.
01:23:35I will not attend his funeral.
01:23:37Send a simple flower basket in the name of Carter Manned.
01:23:40Write on the card, may Mr. Stark rest in peace.
01:23:43That's all.
01:23:44In the end, he chose the most selfish path.
01:23:49This is not your fault.
01:23:51The day he mistook his savior three years ago, he locked himself in a prison.
01:23:55He didn't kill himself.
01:23:57He killed the lie that should have died long ago.
01:23:59I know.
01:24:00I just think pathetic.
01:24:02Three years living for a foolish mistake.
01:24:04Dying for it without dignity.
01:24:05His life was a botched tragedy.
01:24:07Fortunately.
01:24:08I escaped that nightmare.
01:24:10Fortunately, you're the one beside me, Ethan.
01:24:12I'm always here for you.
01:24:13All the chaos has vanished tonight.
01:24:31Madam, Vivian has filed another appeal for early release, citing severe illness.
01:24:37This is the warden's report.
01:24:39Let the law do its work.
01:24:42My mercy ran out three years ago.
01:24:44I waste nothing on ghosts of the past.
01:24:47Yes, ma'am.
01:24:49Mr. Carter has sent his car for you.
01:24:51He reminded you not to miss your appointment at Hitchcock Clinic.
01:25:00Tell him I'm on my way.
01:25:16Mr. Carter?
01:25:17Here, Mrs. Carter is in excellent health.
01:25:21Listen to that heartbeat, fast and strong, like a racehorse flying across a meadow, wonderfully healthy.
01:25:29Chloe, thank you for giving me a warm home in this broken world.
01:25:38The one who should be thankful is me, Ethan.
01:25:43Ethan, you taught me that true love is not begging in the mud.
01:25:46It is sitting in sunlight, seen equally and completely.
01:26:00Sometimes, when I smell the salty breeze from the ocean, I still think of those old days.
01:26:05Like a fever that burned for three whole years.
01:26:09Painful, real, absurd, like a bad joke.
01:26:14The fever has broken, Chloe.
01:26:17Chloe, those scars are part of your map.
01:26:18They do not define your future.
01:26:20You are no one's shadow, no one's debt.
01:26:23You are the mistress of Carter Manor, queen of a textile empire, mother of our child.
01:26:29And above all, the only pride of my life.
01:26:33The End
01:26:37The End
01:26:37The End
