Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Don't come any closer! Am 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. She should be the one for this marriage of convenience.
00:00:18I won't marry him. Push me again. I'll jump from here.
00:00:22No, my sweetheart. Arthur, 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.
00:01:10I can take her place and marry Ethan Carter.
00:01:21Thank God! You mean it?
00:01:26I have conditions.
00:01:29Name them.
00:01:31First, the Courtney mill. My 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 and the South American shipping routes.
00:01:48No interference.
00:01:50Third, transfer Kyle. He'll be Vivian's personal guard.
00:01:53Kyle? The former cavalry officer? I thought he was the one you valued most. Why 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.
00:02:13No-one!
00:02:15No.
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?
00:03:52Kyle. Kyle Green.
00:03:58This wound. He is clearly the heir to the Stark Arms family of the North. The only son of a
00:04:05prominent Pleiart. Changing his name and sneaking into my house. What exactly does he want? Give me one reason to
00:04:13make you my personal bodyguard.
00:04:16As long as I have a breath left. When 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. It was that Vivian, the illegitimate one, wasn't it?
00:04:42Mr. Kyle! Miss Vivian fainted again. Her corset too tight. Please help!
00:04:49No!
00:04:55Ah!
00:05:16Did you see that retired military officer?
00:05:19Miss Vivian merely fainted from a corset tied too tight,
00:05:23but he pulled out his service pistol
00:05:25and forced the director to treat her personally.
00:05:28Right? He carried Miss Vivian all the way in.
00:05:31When he told her,
00:05:32I'm here, don't be afraid,
00:05:34that look in his eyes,
00:05:35now that's true chivalry.
00:05:53So how much longer is the sole hair to the North's biggest arms plummet, the Stark family,
00:05:58going to play the loyal old soldier in this Courtney manor?
00:06:01Don't tell me you've caught real feelings
00:06:04for that arrogant Miss Chloe who's always admired you.
00:06:09Chloe?
00:06:10A spoiled, arrogant woman like her
00:06:13can't even compare to a corner of Vivian's skirt.
00:06:16For three years, her self-righteous charity and pestering
00:06:19have 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.
00:06:52You need to go back to the ward.
00:06:56Don't touch me.
00:06:59Yes.
00:07:00I should go back.
00:07:07Kyle Stark.
00:07:09Game is over.
00:07:10I wish you
00:07:12get exactly what you desire.
00:07:14I wish you
00:07:30Miss Chloe,
00:07:31the doctor at the church sanitary
00:07:33instructed that your gunshot wound
00:07:35could tear open again at any time.
00:07:37You cannot go out.
00:07:41The St. George Art Salon.
00:07:42I have to go.
00:07:44That French master's painting,
00:07:46Dusk in Normandy,

00:07:50If I get it,
00:07:51the Courtney Fextile Mail's
00:07:52shipping line can be revived.
00:07:57Apologies.
00:07:57I have personal matters today.
00:07:59I would like to request a leave of absence.
00:08:04What?
00:08:05You won't even escort me now?
00:08:10Vivian will be at this salon, too.
00:08:17I will go prepare

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, and I'm leaving this rotting manor for good.
00:21:33I won't put my life in a weak man's hands.
00:21:38What belongs to me, I will hold onto 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.
00:21:58As 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?
00:22:17I'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.
00:22:45Goodbye.
00:23:02Mr. Courtney, Miss Chloe ordered me to return these items.
00:23:07If 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.
00:23:33A married woman doesn't keep a young man like you around.
00:23:38You'll serve Vivian from now on.
00:23:41Sister 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!
00:24:16No!
00:24:23Chloe!
00:24:25Chloe!
00:24:26Hey!
00:25:20Mrs. Carter has instructed that you must take meticulous care of young master Ethan.
00:25:24Although 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.
00:25:35Do not slack off.
00:25:36I know my place.
00:25:37You may leave and close the door.
00:25:59Was it an illusion?
00:26:04It seems I am really too tired.
00:26:33What kind of person exactly?
00:26:36Are you?
00:26:49Kyle, doesn't this sapphire match my French dress perfectly?
00:26:53If you like it, Miss Vivian.
00:27:00I want those Victorian ruby earrings too.
00:27:03And that gold diamond bracelet.
00:27:05Bring them over.
00:27:20I'll take them all.
00:27:22Sure, Miss Vivian.
00:27:22One moment please.
00:27:24I'll have your bill ready right away.
00:27:51Miss Vivian.
00:27:52All the jewelry you selected has been fully purchased.
00:27:58I'll pull them through to you.

00:41:16leave at once
00:41:17chloe
00:41:18come out
00:41:19let me explain i was wrong
00:41:21i was wrong about everything
00:41:28Hold him down!
00:41:37Chloe! Chloe! Please! Just one word!
00:41:55Chloe! 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? So you figure it out, and come crashing into my home, begging like a dog? And what,
00:42:21do you expect me to award you a medal for finally realizing your mistake? You want forgiveness? Gratitude? Your love
00:42:28is just as cheap as your hatred, Kyle. It was built on one idiotic blind lie.
00:42:31Now that you've figured it out, tell me, do the wounds disappear? Does the blood flow back into my body?
00:42:40Do the scars 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.
00:43:45I 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
00:44:04hair 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?
00:44:38I played several times before my coma. The doctor said finger movement aided nerve recovery. Will you be my first
00:44:46audience, Mrs. Carter?
00:44:47Mr. Carter?
00:44:49I may be out of practice.
00:44:51It would be my honor, Mr. Carter.
00:45:03Well? Did my clumsy playing bearing bore you?
00:45:06It was beautiful. More beautiful than any court performance I have ever heard. Truly.
00:45:26She smiles at him. Like that. In the past three years, she never looked at me that way. Not even
00:45:33once.
00:45:43Chloe is mine.
00:45:59You finished bathing? Yes. The water chased away the chill.
00:46:07Chloe, come here. Cold? No. Then, 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.
00:46:52Ethan.
00:46:52I'm here. Tell 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. She'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.
00:48:43Ethan!
00:48:51Chloe, are you...
00:48:54Mr. Stark, thank you for your recklessness. From now on, stay away from my wife. We shall leave now. Do
00:49:01not let this filthy blood stain your skirt.
00:49:05Is the wound deep? Does it still hurt? We need a doctor, now.
00:49:23Yes.
00:49:36Good 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.
00:50:06Chloe! 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.
00:50:17I 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.
00:50:28And an 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!
00:50:41I only want dinner. To talk. Once, please. Just one last goodbye.
00:50:49Move.
00:50:52Let'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.
00:51:20You know what is it that night?
00:51:46Chloe wait
00:51:48Chloe wait
00:51:49Move
00:51:50Let's talk five minutes
00:51:51No three
00:51:52Just give me three minutes
00:51:53Mr. Stark your time may be worthless
00:51:56But every second of mine decides whether this mill survives
00:51:59So move
00:52:00Do not make me call the constable
00:52:01I know
00:52:02I wasted three full years of your life
00:52:04A thousand days a night
00:52:06I'll pay it back with my life
00:52:07With every breath I have left
00:52:08I'm not asking you to forgive me now
00:52:10Just let me watch you from a distance
00:52:12Let me hear your voice
00:52:14Even like this
00:52:15And I'll be satisfied
00:52:16Like this?
00:52:17Blocking my carriage like a lowborn sailor
00:52:19Reeking of cheap wine
00:52:20Spouting this self-pitting nonsense
00:52:21Kyle is this what you call making amends?
00:52:23This is nothing but harassment
00:52:24It only makes me sick
00:52:25Sick?
00:52:26Chloe
00:52:26How can you say that?
00:52:28I'm Kyle
00:52:28Your knight
00:52:29Who you were supposed to love
00:52:31Supposed to?
00:52:31There is no law saying I have to love a blind fool
00:52:34Who kept throwing me into danger again and again
00:52:36And trampling my dignity into the mud
00:52:38It wasn't like that
00:52:39I was deceived
00:52:40I thought
00:52:41I thought the one who saved me in the alley
00:52:43With the silver tube was Vivian
00:52:45Your apologies
00:52:47Your tears
00:52:48Your hollow claims that you didn't know
00:52:50They are cheap
00:52:51Disgustingly cheap
00:52:52Compared to the blood I have really shed
00:52:54Now get out of my sight
00:52:55Permanently
00:52:56No
00:52:57Chloe
00:52:58Don't leave
00:52:59I was wrong
00:52:59I truly see it now
00:53:01Come back
00:53:01I don't want anything else
00:53:03Stark wealth
00:53:03My pride
00:53:04My life
00:53:05All yours
00:53:05Come back please
00:53:06Let go
00:53:07I won't
00:53:08Not while I'm alive
00:53:09Kill me Chloe
00:53:10Tell the driver to whip the horses
00:53:11Run me over
00:53:12I die happily
00:53:13I die happily under your wheels
00:53:25No
00:53:25Don't go
00:53:26Chloe
00:53:27Don't leave me
00:53:29I was wrong
00:53:30I'm so sorry
00:53:46Sir
00:53:46The deed has been returned by Miss Chloe's personal solicitor
00:53:49Unopened
00:53:49Did she say that herself?
00:53:51Any message?
00:53:51Her maid Anna passed it along
00:53:53Miss Chloe appreciates the gesture
00:53:55But she has no use for it
00:53:56No use?
00:53:57Did she even open the case?
00:53:58Does she have any idea how much that is worth?
00:54:00Tons of gold
00:54:02Anna said Miss Chloe
00:54:03Glanced only at the stark crest on the cover
00:54:06Then told them to throw it out
00:54:07And she included a handwritten note
00:54:11Charity?
00:54:12She calls this charity?
00:54:14That's half my entire fortune
00:54:15My most serious promise and protection
00:54:17Sir in terms of worldly wealth
00:54:18It is priceless
00:54:19But I'm afraid
00:54:21Miss Chloe no longer needs protection from you
00:54:26Since waking
00:54:27Ethan Carter has given her full control
00:54:29Over the largest underground vault
00:54:30In the Carter family
00:54:31Her current power and wealth
00:54:32Are far beyond the immediate value of your deed
00:54:36So
00:54:37She is not refusing out of spite
00:54:39She truly
00:54:41No longer needs me at all
00:54:43I'm afraid so sir
00:54:44Leave me
00:54:58Miss Chloe
00:54:59The mill has erased massive debt
00:55:01And outpaced southern competitors in just months
00:55:03Boston is calling you the iron lady
00:55:05Who turned everything around
00:55:06What is the key to this miracle?
00:55:08We cut away rotten old rules
00:55:09Brought in the best technology
00:55:11And took back control of our own fate
00:55:12Rumors in society say your marriage to the Carter heir secured this funding
00:55:16How 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
00:55:31Your 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
00:55:43Who is worthy of being cherished for a lifetime
00:56:04Sir, madam
00:56:06Today's front page
00:56:22Let all of Boston know you're mine, Mrs. Carter

01:07:07Go to hell together
01:07:48God in heaven, who is that?
01:07:49Kyle Stark, how dare he storm in like a madman?
01:07:55Holster your weapons

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
01:08:23This is high-purity nitroglycerine
01:08:25Fresh from Stark armories
01:08:28Every marble column
01:08:29Every wooden bench
01:08:31My men have packed them full of black powder
01:08:45One 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?

01:09:05Name your price
01:09:06Lower that bottle
01:09:07And I'll have a D drawn immediately
01:09:16Settle
01:09:17You own half the north
01:09:19Yet you cannot fill my rotting body
01:09:21You think this is about money?
01:09:25Chloe
01:09:27I want nothing but seven days
01:09:32What?
01:09:33Give 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
01:09:40As a true, lowly guard
01:09:43Like I should have
01:09:45Let me serve you
01:09:46Even be your step
01:09:50Or you may ignore me
01:09:53Watch me fill the bloody hole I dug over three years
01:09:56After seven days
01:09:58You may order me to die or exile me
01:10:02I swear it on the Stark name and my soul
01:10:05I will keep my word
01:10:10What if
01:10:12I refuse?
01:10:14Then today won't be your wedding day
01:10:17It'll be the mass funeral
01:10:18For half of Boston's elite
01:10:22Including you, Chloe
01:10:24Including Ethan
01:10:26Including everyone in this room
01:10:34Fine
01:10:36I grant you seven days
01:10:38Now recall your men
01:10:40And remove the powder from this church
01:10:44When you pass judgment on the seventh day
01:10:49The powder will be destroyed
01:10:51On the seventh day
01:10:54My men have already left the shadows
01:10:58Chloe
01:11:00Thank you
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
01:11:24But he doesn't dare break his oath
01:11:25Seven 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
01:11:57Made 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
01:12:13Throw it away
01:12:13It's okay
01:12:14Feed it to your hounds
01:12:33Mrs. Chloe
01:12:35The 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
01:12:49That dispute is already in final arbitration
01:12:52We hold conclusive evidence
01:13:06Mrs. Chloe
01:13:07No 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
01:13:52It's okay
01:14:03I saw the
01:14:05Miss, a special courier from Mr. Stark. He insisted you open it yourself.
01:14:43Go back to your master and tell him this. My only dream now is to never see him again.
01:14:49Tell him to stop sending these ridiculous toys. His kindness makes me sick.
01:15:07Chloe, look out!
01:15:12Chloe, look out!
01:15:35Are you hurt anywhere?
01:15:42You're not hurt?
01:15:46Anna, call a medical carriage. Send Mr. Stark to Massachusetts General.
01:15:52A minor incident. We proceed to the steam room.
01:15:58Are you sure you're alright?
01:16:01Thanks to you, I'm still alive.
01:16:19Mrs. 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. The 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. I'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 ten o'clock.
01:17:15What the hell are you?
01:17:17I'm talking to Mrs. Carter. Is 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.
01:17:31Let'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 this dog named the gutter.
01:17:46What footman? I 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. Now he's worse than a spinless slug.
01:18:10This one won't be too cold. It won't hurt your stomach.
01:18:12And I tested it with a silver needle. It'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. I feel a hundred percent safe.
01:18:31I feel a little bit like a trap.
01:18:35And I'm sorry.
01:18:35I feel a little bit like a trap.
01:18:37Kyle 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?
01:18:48You 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.
01:19:48Mr. 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. After these two matters, I'll disappear at once.
01:19:58First, Margaret, Vivian's mother. Full evidence of her embezzled and illegal man trade. She 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 Ob Swords right at the docks.
01:20:12This is a copy of his sworn sign testimony, together with the rest of the evidence enough to destroy Arthur
01:20:16Courtney completely.
01:20:24Thank you. With 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.
01:20:36Keep 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.
01:21:10Here 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.
01:21:30No 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.
01:21:38Only endless exhaustion.
01:21:40Watching you perform love.
01:21:42Watching you grovel like a dog.
01:21:44It suffocates me.
01:21:45Every kindness.
01:21:47Every atonement.
01:21:47It all feels like a heavy, filthy stone around my neck.
01:21:52Time is up.
01:21:53I gave you your last chance.
01:21:56My answer is no.
01:21:58Fulfill your blood oath to God and the church.
01:22:01Walk out of my sight forever.
01:22:04Do 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.
01:22:23As you wish.
01:22:25May you and Ethan live a long, happy life together.
01:22:43Come here, Mrs. Carter.
01:22:54Who is it?
01:22:55Miss!
01:22:56Please open!
01:22:57It's terrible!
01:22:59Mr. Stark!
01:23:00Kyle Stark!
01:23:01He's killed himself!
01:23:04Come in.
01:23:06Half an hour ago, in his private apartments, the messenger from Mr. Morris said Mr. Stark used the Colt revolver
01:23:14he brought back from his service.
01:23:16By 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 my 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.
01:23:45In 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.
01:24:45I 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, 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, Chloe, thank you for giving me a warm home in this broken world.
01:25:38The one who should be thankful is me, Ethan.
01:25:43You 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.
01:26:12Absurd, like a bad joke.
01:26:15The fever has broken, Chloe.
01:26:17Those scars are part of your map.
01:26:19They do not define your future.
01:26:21You are no one's shadow.
01:26:22No 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.
01:26:32Who are you, Hugo?
01:26:36What do you think of all, is that great?
01:26:40No one's.
01:26:40No one's.
01:26:43No one's.
01:26:45Goodire.
