00:08Marcus. Get mother. Now.
00:21Six hundred years, and it's finally appeared. What does that mean?
00:27Two kinds of ambrosia bearers. One suppresses it. The other bears the thorn crown. The promised queen. Only she can
00:39end it.
00:40How?
00:40On the blood moon, she completes the thorn vow with all three. Her light ends the curse. But...
00:47But, the ritual takes her life. The last queen hundred years ago didn't survive.
00:55Then we don't do it. If we don't, all of us die before thirty. If we do it, she dies.
00:59If we don't, we die. What kind of sick curse is this?
01:01Wait, that's it? That's my only choice? Watch you all die? Take your place?
01:09Give her some space. She can't leave. If she's away from us more than 72 hours, the curse will...
01:15I know. I know. I already blocked the garage exit. She's not going anywhere.
01:21Volume seven. Three pages we still can't make sense of. If there's another way, it's in there.
01:36I won't let you die.
01:39You're dying too. What makes you think you can promise that?
01:42Volume seven. I'll do whatever it takes to get through those last three pages. There has to be another way.
01:50Until then, you're not going anywhere.
01:54Ashul, are you scared?
02:01Not of dying. Of losing you.
02:32Young misters, the latest report is in. The curse spread 40% faster in eight hours. The crown mark triggered
02:38a backlash.
02:41So the curse knows the cure's here. And it's speeding up, pushing us toward the ritual?
02:45Yes. At this rate, if the ritual isn't performed, the marks will reach your hearts within 30 days.
02:55Yesterday, they were still on my wrist. Overnight, they reached my elbow. Pretty fast.
03:0530 days?! You've only got 30 days left?!
03:08Chloe, sit down.
03:09Then do the ritual!
03:10No.
03:11No.
03:11You're all going to die, and you're still saying no?!
03:17Three pages in volume seven are still being decoded. Oxford's best are on it. We'll have answers in 72 hours.
03:23Until then, no decisions.
03:2672 hours. Wait.
03:30Asha cancelled the marriage deal for some poor college girl.
03:35I know. Ambrosia. My family has searched for her for 300 years.
03:40Is your family cursed too?
03:44Same curse, same bloodline. We split 600 years ago. They bear black thorn marks, we bear frost. Same cure, Ambrosia.
03:55So you need her too?
03:57More than that. The curse only breaks with both families' heirs. They only have half the codex.
04:03I leave for New York the day after tomorrow. You get me close to her, I get Ashen back for
04:08you.
04:09She's just some nobody. If you want her, why not just take her?
04:13If she's forced, it won't work. It has to be her choice. So she has to leave Black Throne on
04:18her own.
04:19You drive them apart. I'll be there to catch her.
04:31You look like you need something sweet.
04:40I didn't order this.
04:41It's on me. I'm Sebastian. Just got in from London. Mind if I sit?
04:47I'm a fragrance chemist at Oxford.
04:51Your scent's unusual. Vanilla and peach. But the base has this warmth I can't quite place.
04:59You can smell that?
05:01Relax. I've studied natural human scent for 15 years. It's extremely rare. Only three documented cases.
05:07A scientist studying scent?
05:09A scientist who's very curious about your scent. Maybe we could be friends.
05:21Jacob Morsepear to the Fox one away.
05:26Who is this guy?
05:28Facial recognition, got nothing. His identity's been scrubbed.
05:31Bring in team four. Starting tonight, her detail goes from four guards to twelve.
05:36Master, isn't that a bit-
05:41A man with a scrubbed identity just happens to sit across from her. You buy that?
05:49Asher. Someone's getting close to her.
06:06of her.
06:07Kieran? Kieran! Kieran? Kieran!
06:14Don't. Don't come closer. I can't control it right now.
06:28your marks run deeper than theirs why join special forces at 17 every op the curse spread faster
06:35they came back with medals i came back with more marks this one was afghanistan they got the bullet
06:40out not the curse does it hurt not now never feared dying nearly died twice out there but no
06:47i'm afraid afraid of what that you'll do the ritual to save us chloe if it comes to that
06:52choose yourself it marks them watch you die for me this time it felt different
07:03three seconds completely gone your power is getting stronger master kyron the team cracked
07:09the first page of volume seven only the destined queen can end it draw all three airs curse then
07:16burn it with the crown the price is
07:22keep going queen's entire life force but if all three airs give 10 years with 120 seconds before
07:29her life force fades she can be revived same only 10 years each for one life worth it
07:36you don't get a say in this we've already decided wait ashley you're 30 10 years off that you'd only
07:41make it better than dead now still two pages left the oxford team needs at least two more weeks
07:46pay more 10 times more i want it done in a week yes your grace
07:51120 seconds
07:52what if one of you hesitates
07:57we won't
08:00they're decoding volume seven once the ritual's done i'm finished
08:04if asher dies i lose everything
08:07i won't be replaced then we move before the ritual frost thorn extract if this touches an
08:14ambrosia carrier's skin it seals her scent for 48 hours 48 hours and after that while it's sealed
08:19their curse marks flare unquatched in 48 hours they'll reach the heart then they have two choices
08:25do the ritual and let her die or hand her over i can buy time either way she's mine
08:32what about me once asher loses the cure he'll be weak a weak man always needs someone beside him
08:38that's your chance
08:41my couture shows at the met in two weeks this year's theme is curse and redemption
08:46is it about your curse
08:48no it's about you all 36 looks were inspired by you
08:54you're my ultimate muse and i want you to walk the final look yourself
08:58me i can barely walk in these things
09:02in my designs you don't need to walk
09:05you just stand there and take everyone's breath away
