00:00:01Damien Crawford is looking for a bride.
00:00:04The adopted son of the Crawford crime family.
00:00:07Here's the arrangement. We married in name only.
00:00:10You will not share my meals. You will not share my space.
00:00:13And you certainly will not share my bed.
00:00:15We will not be friends or lovers or anything other than strangers.
00:00:19And I will never ever love you.
00:00:23Hence, I suggest you do the same.
00:00:25She's different.
00:00:27I don't know if I can believe what I want to believe.
00:00:29Sometimes I feel so close to him.
00:00:31Like we're really connecting.
00:00:33And then he goes away.
00:00:35Stop embarrassing me.
00:00:37You're here as a contract wife.
00:00:39Men like Damien, they don't fall in love.
00:00:42They dominate.
00:00:44Damien!
00:00:46Don't ever fall for Damien Crawford.
00:00:48You won't survive it.
00:00:50I have never felt like this with anyone.
00:00:52What are you doing to me?
00:00:53I know that I'm falling for you.
00:00:54And I think just maybe you're falling for me too.
00:00:58You should know.
00:00:59If we do this, I won't be able to let you go.
00:01:02Then don't.
00:01:05But we'd be breaking our rules.
00:01:08Stop the rules.
00:01:10Less than last week, Linda's going to be furious.
00:01:23They are paying us thousands of dollars for Anna.
00:01:27We should have sold her off years ago.
00:01:29Dad, what if she says no?
00:01:31She has no choice.
00:01:32Dad?
00:01:33Oh, Anna.
00:01:34You're home early.
00:01:36What are you talking about?
00:01:37We owe some money.
00:01:38And for once in your life, you're going to come in handy.
00:01:42You're selling me.
00:01:43Damien Crawford is looking for a bride.
00:01:46And you make a great fit.
00:01:48Damien?
00:01:49The adopted son of the Crawford crime family.
00:01:52He's dangerous.
00:01:54And that's exactly why he can afford a bride, sis.
00:01:57I brought home my pay.
00:01:59I can save more, but you have to give me some time.
00:02:02That's all.
00:02:03300 bucks?
00:02:04That's all you're worth?
00:02:05I'll work double shifts.
00:02:07I'll clean this house.
00:02:08I pay the bills.
00:02:09I paid your tuition, Claire.
00:02:11How could you be so ungrateful?
00:02:13Shut your mouth!
00:02:14Don't talk to my daughter that way.
00:02:18I'm your daughter too, Dad.
00:02:21Pack your bags.
00:02:22You're leaving tomorrow.
00:02:23Dad, please.
00:02:27Rumor is, he's old, bald, ugly, smells like rot.
00:02:32Lucky you.
00:02:33He has a full package.
00:02:34Thank you for spreading your legs, you little whore.
00:02:36Enough, please.
00:02:39Sweet dreams, Mrs. Crawford.
00:02:44The Winters have agreed.
00:02:49For half a million dollars, they're sending their daughter tomorrow to be your bride.
00:02:53Solderous tribute, you name?
00:02:55Either way, it's your father's wish to see you married.
00:02:58And he appointed the Winters girl himself.
00:03:00It's a contract.
00:03:01Nothing more.
00:03:02I'm gonna fall for some clueless toll from a crumbling family.
00:03:05She'll arrive in the morning.
00:03:07Well, we'll see if she's worth the price.
00:03:14Welcome, Mrs. Winters.
00:03:19Mr. Crawford?
00:03:20It's nice to meet you.
00:03:22I'm Jack, his assistant.
00:03:23Mr. Crawford is currently occupied.
00:03:25Of course.
00:03:26I'm so sorry, you're obviously too young to be him.
00:03:28Too young?
00:03:29How old do you think he is?
00:03:30I'm sure he's youthful at heart, even if his body says otherwise.
00:03:35What have you heard about Mr. Crawford?
00:03:37Just rumors, really.
00:03:38Come on.
00:03:39I'm not gonna tell.
00:03:40I hear he has a very specific hairstyle.
00:03:43Specific?
00:03:44As in, possibly no hair at all.
00:03:47Which is fine.
00:03:49I'm not really that into hair.
00:03:50Hair's very overrated.
00:03:52Noted.
00:03:53Anything else?
00:03:54Some say he avoids cologne.
00:03:56Or just that he has a signature scent.
00:03:58Not bad, just memorable.
00:04:01Sort of earthy or primal.
00:04:04Primal.
00:04:05Got it.
00:04:06He's mature, like a vintage wine.
00:04:09With depth and dust.
00:04:11He's seasoned.
00:04:12Seasoned.
00:04:13Is that how you greet your future husband?
00:04:22I didn't mean to.
00:04:25Quite the first impression Anna Winters.
00:04:27Let's see what your second one looks like.
00:04:30Look, let's skip the formalities.
00:04:44You need money.
00:04:45I have it.
00:04:46That's why you're here.
00:04:47I came here for my family.
00:04:48I don't care.
00:04:50Here's the arrangement.
00:04:51We married in name only.
00:04:53I need a wife to maintain my family's trust.
00:04:55And a married man looks better to the public.
00:04:58You will be my wife on paper.
00:05:00You'll attend events.
00:05:02You'll smile for cameras.
00:05:03You'll play the part.
00:05:04But nothing more.
00:05:05You will not share my meals.
00:05:07You will not share my space.
00:05:09And you certainly will not share my bed.
00:05:11You will stay in the room farthest away from mine.
00:05:14We will not be friends.
00:05:15Or lovers.
00:05:16Or anything other than strangers.
00:05:19I will not care for you.
00:05:21You will not interfere in my life.
00:05:24And I will never, ever, love you.
00:05:28Hence, I suggest you do the same.
00:05:31Are we clear?
00:05:35Go, Jack.
00:05:37I have one request.
00:05:38Look, if you're hoping that I'm gonna treat you like a real wife-
00:05:40When it's done,
00:05:43I want a divorce.
00:05:52When this is all over,
00:05:53I want the freedom to remarry.
00:05:56For actual love.
00:05:58Love.
00:06:00You serious?
00:06:01I'm giving my family my first marriage.
00:06:04But my second will be for me.
00:06:07I'm not giving up on love.
00:06:08Do you have any idea how laughable you sound right now?
00:06:10I'll follow your rules if you agree to mine.
00:06:15There's no reason to object.
00:06:16Fine.
00:06:28After this farce is over,
00:06:29you can run off and chase whatever fairytale you want.
00:06:35If you're that desperate for affection.
00:06:37Don't worry.
00:06:45His bark is worse than his bite.
00:06:48Renee, Damien's associate.
00:06:52I help clean his messes.
00:06:54Nice to meet you.
00:06:56Did I do something wrong?
00:06:58With Damien?
00:06:59Probably.
00:07:00Bad first impressions are his specialty.
00:07:02You'll get along.
00:07:04That doesn't seem to be much of a priority for him.
00:07:06You're pretty.
00:07:07He's a man.
00:07:08Trust me.
00:07:09It will become a priority.
00:07:14She's different.
00:07:16There's no fear, no resentment, no agenda.
00:07:19It's not one I can see.
00:07:21I want to know who she really is.
00:07:23I see she's growing on you.
00:07:24Come on.
00:07:25Don't you mind darling when he stops this thing?
00:07:39Stop!
00:07:41You monster!
00:07:43You tried to kill me!
00:07:45It was an accident.
00:07:46You murderer!
00:07:47You tried to kill me!
00:07:48Stay away from me!
00:07:54Mr. Crawford.
00:07:56What are you doing in here?
00:07:59Why are you sleeping on the floor?
00:08:01The bed's too soft.
00:08:03I'm more used to the floor.
00:08:05In your old house, you slept on the floor?
00:08:07Damien?
00:08:23From now on, you sleep on the bed.
00:08:25Why?
00:08:27Why do you care?
00:08:29Because if you don't,
00:08:31I'm gonna tie you to it.
00:08:40Anna was bullied her whole life.
00:08:42Her mother left after she was born.
00:08:44Fred remarried, had a new family.
00:08:46Left her behind.
00:08:47But Anna was always treated as a burden.
00:08:49Never truly part of the family.
00:08:51And there was an incident.
00:08:53A serious one.
00:08:55With her step-brother, Eric.
00:08:57He claimed that she tried to seduce him.
00:08:59And when he rejected her,
00:09:01she harmed him out of jealousy.
00:09:03And what did Anna say?
00:09:05She accused him of assault.
00:09:07Said he tried to touch her.
00:09:09But no one would believe her.
00:09:11Not her family.
00:09:13Not the school.
00:09:15Not even her father, Fred.
00:09:17Fred knew.
00:09:19And he did nothing.
00:09:21And she delivered to the same roof as that bastard.
00:09:23The family claimed she was unstable.
00:09:27Delusional.
00:09:29Anna was completely alone.
00:09:31Un playful.
00:09:34Her own father let this happen.
00:09:41Anna?
00:09:45Anna!
00:09:46Don't follow me.
00:09:47Don't run from me.
00:09:48How could I not?
00:09:49What was that in there?
00:09:50Some kind of background check?
00:09:52You want to confirm exactly how pathetic I am?
00:09:54I want the truth.
00:09:56For what?
00:09:57So you can feel sorry for me?
00:09:58So I can understand.
00:09:59You don't get to understand me!
00:10:01Not after you told me that this is just a contract
00:10:03and that I meant nothing to you!
00:10:05Anna.
00:10:08Look at me.
00:10:10I'm so used to people like you.
00:10:15Curious.
00:10:16And then disgusted.
00:10:18Men who think they're doing me a favor by asking questions
00:10:20they don't want to know the answers to!
00:10:23I'm not like them.
00:10:25Then let go of me.
00:10:26Look, I've made choices that I'm not proud of.
00:10:38I've built an empire with blood on my hands.
00:10:40I've made deals that I would sooner forget.
00:10:43But I know that there is a line between what is right and what is wrong.
00:10:48As long as you are under this roof, no one is ever going to hurt you again.
00:10:52You're not alone anymore.
00:10:54It's not just a promise.
00:10:55That is my duty as your husband.
00:10:59You mean that?
00:11:01Through hardship.
00:11:03Scandal.
00:11:04War.
00:11:05Yes.
00:11:07I'll stand by you.
00:11:12But...
00:11:14It doesn't change the rules, right?
00:11:18Rules?
00:11:20Contract.
00:11:22Right.
00:11:28Our wedding tomorrow is just...
00:11:32It's just for sure.
00:11:36Get some rest.
00:11:43Big day, Damien?
00:11:45It is.
00:11:46You know...
00:11:47You may be adopted, but...
00:11:49You've always reminded me of myself.
00:11:50My self.
00:11:54Dad, I'm really hoping this wedding can boost his family's image.
00:11:58And restore some faith.
00:12:00You have a strong sense of right and wrong, son.
00:12:03That's why I named you heir.
00:12:05Now listen to me.
00:12:06I know what you've been trying to do.
00:12:07Clean up this family.
00:12:09Drag us out of this dark legacy.
00:12:10But I need you to be careful.
00:12:11There are people who wish to see you fail.
00:12:15You wish you'd always have my back, right?
00:12:18I'm getting old, Damien.
00:12:20I can't protect you much longer.
00:12:23It's dangerous what you're trying to do.
00:12:25This marriage can be your shield.
00:12:27Dad, come on.
00:12:28Don't talk like you're already gone.
00:12:33Damien.
00:12:34Just promise me.
00:12:36You'll give this marriage a chance.
00:12:38I know you'll find happiness with this girl.
00:12:40Together.
00:12:41Maybe we will.
00:12:53Anna Winters.
00:12:55Do you take this man?
00:12:57Damien Crawford.
00:12:59To be your lawfully wedded husband.
00:13:01And promise to protect, love, and cherish him.
00:13:05Till death do you part.
00:13:07I do.
00:13:12I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:21Welcome to the family, Mrs. Crawford.
00:13:32Anna, how are you settling in?
00:13:35I couldn't be more grateful, Mr. Crawford.
00:13:37Everything is so much more than I imagined.
00:13:41Quite the upgrade for you, I imagine.
00:13:44The adopted and the discarded.
00:13:46What a pair.
00:13:47Ellen.
00:13:51Forgive me.
00:13:52I need a drink.
00:13:54Ignore her.
00:13:56She's tired.
00:14:00Simon's second wife.
00:14:02She hates everyone.
00:14:03Especially me.
00:14:05Ah, congratulations.
00:14:08You must be Anna.
00:14:10So, so stunning.
00:14:14Kyle?
00:14:16Didn't know you were invited?
00:14:18Come on.
00:14:19Dad may have named you heir, but I'm his actual son.
00:14:21Yeah, I can't imagine how that happened.
00:14:23Genetics is so cool.
00:14:25Still sharp as ever, Dame Dame.
00:14:28If you ever want a taste of the real deal, just know, I'm available.
00:14:36My sister-in-law.
00:14:38Can't wait to get to know you better.
00:14:40That's, that's very flattering, Kyle.
00:14:43Kyle?
00:14:44Flirt with someone else.
00:14:46That's my wife.
00:14:50Everyone's been very kind.
00:14:51Stop embarrassing me.
00:14:54What?
00:14:55You've been flirting with every other man here.
00:14:57It's pathetic.
00:14:58I'm just being polite.
00:14:59No, you're just being desperate for attention.
00:15:02Just remember your place.
00:15:05You're here as a contract wife.
00:15:06Nothing more.
00:15:16The wedding was a hit.
00:15:17Did you and Anna sneak in some alone time?
00:15:20Why is she?
00:15:22You don't know.
00:15:24She left early.
00:15:25Wanted to thank the guests and greet the press.
00:15:29She went alone?
00:15:31Yes.
00:15:32Said she wanted to make a good impression so that she can help you.
00:15:37She thinks she can help me?
00:15:40Actually, yeah.
00:15:42She said it may be a contract marriage, but she wants to be useful.
00:15:44Not just an arm candy.
00:15:49She said that.
00:15:53And I think she may be right.
00:15:54The mysterious Mrs. Crawford is winning hearts today.
00:15:58Graceful, confident, and completely at ease with the guests.
00:16:01People love her.
00:16:02They say she's the most gracious Crawford they've met.
00:16:05I went too far last night.
00:16:07Too far in bed?
00:16:09It wasn't like that.
00:16:10Like that.
00:16:13I need to see her.
00:16:18The venue is under fire.
00:16:20We're being attacked.
00:16:23It's chaos here.
00:16:25Anna Crawford appears to be missing.
00:16:27The situation is fluent.
00:16:29We'll try and stay with you.
00:16:31For as long as possible.
00:16:32It was a setup.
00:16:35It has to be the Baronex.
00:16:37It's the car. Now!
00:16:45Oh, I can smell you, Madam Crawford.
00:16:48Come on out, sweetheart.
00:16:50Let's make this easy.

00:29:18look he's really clumsy with words everyone can tell he's different with you that's a good thing
00:29:24i started as a contract with rules he wrote himself i can't tell if i'm someone he's just protecting or if he actually

00:37:22Mrs. Crawford herself.
00:37:24I didn't think we'd get this lucky.
00:37:26Disgusting animals.
00:37:28Come on.
00:37:29Don't tell me you've forgotten us already.
00:37:35You attacked the event.
00:37:36She remembers.
00:37:37That's sweet.
00:37:38Except there's no husband to save you now, is there?
00:37:41Just us.
00:37:43You stay away from me.
00:37:45Sweetheart, we're just getting started.
00:37:47Don't touch me!
00:37:50What the hell?
00:37:51The lady said no.
00:37:57You all right?
00:38:06Who are you?
00:38:09Anna!
00:38:09Damn you.
00:38:12I'm fine. It's okay.
00:38:14Thanks to her.
00:38:16Been a while, hasn't it?
00:38:21When did you get back?
00:38:23Just last week.
00:38:24Missed me?
00:38:27Oh, I need a proper intro.
00:38:31I'm Rosalynn.
00:38:33Nice to meet you, Anna.
00:38:34So, you two dated?
00:38:48No.
00:38:49Wait, what?
00:38:50No.
00:38:51Well, sort of, I guess.
00:38:54What was that?
00:38:55Fine.
00:38:57You're no fun.
00:38:57We were together, but it wasn't real.
00:39:01It was just for show.
00:39:03So, it was a contract.
00:39:05Like us.
00:39:06Exactly.
00:39:06No.
00:39:07Come on.
00:39:08It wasn't the same.
00:39:08Don't twist it.
00:39:09Hey, I was hired to keep you alive.
00:39:11Romance is not my strong suit.
00:39:12Hired?
00:39:13When I turned 18, right after I was named Heir, I was abducted by our enemies.
00:39:23After that, my father wanted extra protection.
00:39:25So, he hired Rosa.
00:39:28Secret heirs to Lynn and the Sasson family.
00:39:31That's my bodyguard.
00:39:38What?
00:39:39Except, my family's kind of fucked up, too.
00:39:42When Simon made the deal, it wasn't just for protection.
00:39:47They sold me as bait.
00:39:49What do you mean?
00:39:50It means that I posed as Damien's girlfriend to lure out his enemies.
00:39:53If someone tried to use me to hurt him, I'd fight.
00:39:56If I won, great.
00:39:57If I lost, I was disposable.
00:40:02That's inhumane.
00:40:03That's why I called it off.
00:40:05Because I couldn't watch her risk her life for me anymore.
00:40:07I never lost.
00:40:09I wasn't going to die.
00:40:10Still, it wasn't fair to you.
00:40:13Oh, you love me.
00:40:16I don't.
00:40:20You two haven't seen each other in years.
00:40:22I should give you some time to catch up.
00:40:24You love her.
00:40:37You love her.
00:40:53I do.
00:40:58You've changed.
00:40:59Everybody does.
00:41:01You didn't tell her, did you?
00:41:04That you asked me to come back?
00:41:06That I'm here to protect her?
00:41:07Rosa, I love her more than anything.
00:41:12Then why are you hiding it?
00:41:13Because loving her means putting her safety first.
00:41:15That's why I brought you back.
00:41:17Because I trust you to protect her.
00:41:21There's a war coming.
00:41:24I thought you'd cleaned up.
00:41:26Didn't you say you were nearly out of the business?
00:41:28I was.
00:41:30This is about more than just the Baroness.
00:41:32Somebody on the inside is feeding them intel.
00:41:34There is a traitor in this house.
00:41:39If we don't find them, they're going to come for her.
00:41:42Are you sobbing or scheming in here?
00:41:58Question.
00:41:59Do you think I'm going to seduce your husband and ride off into the sunset?
00:42:02Probably wouldn't save me if you were.
00:42:07Plus, you're not his type.
00:42:08Oh, honey.
00:42:10I'm everyone's type.
00:42:13But no thanks.
00:42:14I have had my fill of emotionally repressed airs.
00:42:17One Crawford in a lifetime is enough.
00:42:23He cares about you.
00:42:24You know?
00:42:26Not in words, but it's all over his face.
00:42:29Why won't he just say it?
00:42:32Because he's scared.
00:42:34Men like Damien only know how to fight for things.
00:42:36They don't know how to have them.
00:42:39But you.
00:42:41You make him want to try.
00:42:43That's dangerous for someone like him.
00:42:48So go.
00:42:50Talk to him.
00:42:51Yell at him.
00:42:52Kiss him.
00:42:53Whatever works.
00:42:55But stop hiding in here like you're not already in love with him.
00:43:02Come in.
00:43:18Couldn't sleep?
00:43:22Nope.
00:43:23So are you going to tell me what's going on or do I have to guess?
00:43:27It's nothing that you need to worry about.
00:43:28Nope.
00:43:29Try again.
00:43:34There's a threat.
00:43:35I don't know who from and until I do, I need you safe.
00:43:38I am safe.
00:43:39I'm right here with you.
00:43:40No, Anna.
00:43:41It's dangerous.
00:43:42You don't...
00:43:42Amy, I have never felt like this with anyone.
00:43:51I have never been this...
00:43:53Happy...
00:43:55And sad...
00:43:57And insecure in my entire life.
00:43:59So I need you to tell me...
00:44:01Am I alone?
00:44:04Am I delusional?
00:44:05I know that I'm falling for you and I think...
00:44:10Maybe...
00:44:11Just maybe...
00:44:13You're falling for me too.
00:44:21Anna.
00:44:22You're in my every thought.
00:44:24You're the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last person I don't want to see before I sleep at night.
00:44:29Every kiss I want.
00:44:30I want more.
00:44:32Not just your body.
00:44:32I want you every moment.
00:44:37And I want...
00:44:38I want to grow old with you.
00:44:41What are you doing to me?
00:44:46I don't want the contract anymore.
00:44:49I want you.
00:44:50Every day.
00:44:51Every second.
00:44:52I want to kiss you and dream about you and wake up next to you.
00:44:58I want to grow old with you.
00:44:59I want to grow old with you.
00:45:03What?
00:45:11No.
00:45:11If we do this...
00:45:13I won't be able to let you go.
00:45:15Then don't.
00:45:16Oh, my God.
00:45:46Corona has attacked our business.
00:45:48This calls for a fight.
00:45:51It's not about money or vengeance.
00:45:54It's about home.
00:45:55About the people we love.
00:45:58This is a necessary step for this family to take, but we can turn clean.
00:46:04This fight's going to be hard.
00:46:07Dangerous.
00:46:08But I promise you, we will come home to the ones we love.
00:46:11We will win.
00:46:12And when we win, we will finally seek your peace in this city.
00:46:23You promised me you'll come back.
00:46:27That's all that I care about.
00:46:29I will.
00:46:30I love you.
00:46:30When I come back, I'll go on our honeymoon.
00:46:38You pick the place.
00:46:40Anywhere with you.
00:46:41Then I'll fight like hell to make sure we get there.
00:46:49Let's go.
00:46:49Why are we always on night watch?
00:46:57So damn bored.
00:46:59Our next move is next Friday, right?
00:47:02Man, that's forever.
00:47:04You know, we strike soon.
00:47:06Surprise attack.
00:47:07Kyle's finalizing the plan.
00:47:08Kyle Crawford, who's in?
00:47:09Yeah, it says he has a little firework show plan.
00:47:12Man, I can't wait to see David crash and burn.
00:47:14You were right.
00:47:18I usually am.
00:47:21Let's go let up their party.
00:47:32Damien.
00:47:34What a surprise.
00:47:35I didn't expect to see you.
00:47:36Yeah, that much is clear.
00:47:38We talked.
00:47:40It's not what it sounds like.
00:47:41Really?
00:47:42Because it sounds to me like betrayal.
00:47:46And I don't take betrayal lightly.
00:47:53Kyle wasn't working alone.
00:47:55The attack on Anna, he had help from higher up.
00:47:58I know.
00:48:01Helen lured us away.
00:48:03Damien.
00:48:05Accusing the Crawford elders?
00:48:07It's dangerous.
00:48:08She targeted my wife.
00:48:10I cannot and will not overlook that.
00:48:15All this is a woman.
00:48:20Not just any woman.
00:48:22Anna is everything to me.
00:48:26If I can't protect her, what's the point in any of this?
00:48:33Damien!
00:48:34There's nothing to do, nothing to prove, nothing but you do.
00:48:38You're back!
00:48:40All I'm saying is you.
00:48:43My heart, you're mistaken.
00:48:44Just like I promised.
00:48:45I'm mistaken.
00:48:47If my mind is, I'm mistaken.
00:48:56Get your sorry ass up, Kyle.
00:48:58Well, I made a deal with your family.
00:49:02Where do you want to go?
00:49:04Paris.
00:49:06Sounds great.
00:49:08Wait, no, Sicily.
00:49:09Lovely.
00:49:11We've got a house.
00:49:14Not now!
00:49:15It's urgent!
00:49:15The family asked for you.
00:49:20Both of you.
00:49:30Father?
00:49:31You wanted to see us?
00:49:32You're late.
00:49:34Damien only just got back from fighting in your war.
00:49:36Which is exactly why you're here.
00:49:38There have been accusations of betrayal made against Damien.
00:49:44Saying you sold intel to the Baroness Mafia?
00:49:48That's impossible.
00:49:49He would never.
00:49:49I want to believe that.
00:49:51But we have to hear the claims.
00:49:53These accusations are serious.
00:49:55And they're coming from someone close.
00:49:57There's no way.
00:49:58These are false.
00:49:59Oh, those are true.
00:50:01I'll testify.
00:50:08I have proof.
00:50:11Every order.
00:50:12Every signature.
00:50:14He's been plotting on our family.
00:50:15See for yourself.
00:50:17Signed, Damien Crawford.
00:50:19Dad, that's forged.
00:50:20Oh, really?
00:50:21Because that looks a hell of a lot like your signature.
00:50:27This does look like your...
00:50:29Mr. Crawford?
00:50:33Mr. Crawford, are you okay?
00:50:35Dad!
00:50:35Don't touch him.
00:50:37Guards!
00:50:38Arrest him now.
00:50:40What is wrong with you?
00:50:42You were never one of us.
00:50:44Simon should have never brought you into this family.
00:50:47And now you're showing your true colors.
00:50:48Get off me!
00:50:49Helen!
00:50:49Helen, that's impossible.
00:50:51He would never hurt his own father.
00:50:52You sure about that?
00:50:54You don't know Damien Crawford, Anna.
00:50:56Walk away while you still can.
00:50:57Come on, let me out!
00:51:08Damien didn't do anything!
00:51:17Nice room.
00:51:18Bit dramatic for a sleepover, though.
00:51:20Cut the act.
00:51:22You here to gloat?
00:51:22Actually, I came to get you out.
00:51:25What?
00:51:26Listen closely.
00:51:28There's more going on than you think.
00:51:30Damien and I, we had a deal from the start.
00:51:33What deal?
00:51:34He knew someone powerful in the family was working against him.
00:51:37He needed to bait the snake out.
00:51:39So I played my part.
00:51:41The backstabbing ex.
00:51:42The dramatic entrance.
00:51:43The betrayal.
00:51:44All of it.
00:51:45Why didn't you two just tell me?
00:51:47Because if you knew, you wouldn't have reacted like you did.
00:51:50And they're watching your every move.
00:51:52I know you hate me right now.
00:51:54But he's risking everything to protect you.
00:51:56Don't tell me to run.
00:51:58You know I won't leave him.
00:52:00Yeah.
00:52:01I figured you'd say that.
00:52:06The usual way would have been an argument.
00:52:08What are you doing?
00:52:09But this, sorry sweetheart, this is the unusual way.
00:52:28You need to work?
00:52:30Yeah.
00:52:31Aside from the yelling and, you know, the part where she refused to leave.
00:52:34She never is anything the easy way, does she?
00:52:36Guess that's why you love her.
00:52:39Anyway, I don't trust Helen.
00:52:42She's playing her own game.
00:52:44Yeah, I know.
00:52:46One of my men said they saw Helen's maid slipping something into Simon's tea earlier.
00:52:50Wait, she poisoned Simon?
00:52:52Yeah.
00:52:54Helen's never really been one of us.
00:52:56Her marriage to Simon's always just been about power.
00:52:58So what now?
00:53:01Well, the family summoned a trial in two days to decide my future.
00:53:06I'll clear my name.
00:53:07Just keep an eye on Helen.
00:53:10Try to delay whatever she's plotting.
00:53:12It's okay.
00:53:23You're safe.
00:53:24We brought you home.
00:53:25You've been out for a while.
00:53:27What happened?
00:53:28You're okay.
00:53:29But Mrs. Crawford, you're pregnant.
00:53:31Where is Anna Crawford?
00:53:42How do you lose a powerless girl?
00:53:46I don't know.
00:53:47She was in her room last night.
00:53:49Someone must have knocked out a guard and switched uniforms.
00:53:52We're checking the phone.
00:53:52You're checking nothing.
00:53:54You're wasting my time.
00:53:58I'm surrounded by fools.
00:54:01We're going to find her, I promise.
00:54:03Just give us some time.
00:54:04If she resists, kill her.
00:54:07Kill her?
00:54:08She's barely a threat.
00:54:09She's far more dangerous than Damien ever was.
00:54:12What are you saying?
00:54:14Your father had a daughter with his first wife.
00:54:17His ex and his daughter went missing during the crossfire.
00:54:20I thought they both died, but they didn't.
00:54:23She just lost her memories and remarried a clueless man named Fred.
00:54:28Wait, so Anna is...
00:54:30She's the rightful heir to the Crawford family bloodline.
00:54:36She's the true heiress?
00:54:39And I will be damned if I let this empire fall into her hands.
00:54:44So find her before she destroys everything that I built.
00:54:50I'm six weeks pregnant.
00:55:02Unbelievable, I know.
00:55:04We ran the test twice.
00:55:06I don't know whether to laugh or scream.
00:55:11Where's Damien?
00:55:12He's still at Simon's mansion.
00:55:14But Anna, it's not safe for you to go there.
00:55:16I'm not sitting here while the father of my child is facing danger alone.
00:55:20Knowing you're safe is what will help him the most.
00:55:27I'll give you some space.
00:55:30Just shout if you need anything.
00:55:31I need to be with him.
00:55:48I wouldn't recommend that.
00:55:51He might hurt the baby.
00:55:53What are you doing here?
00:55:55What are you doing here?
00:55:56Seriously, you hit the jackpot.
00:56:05Your husband looks like that.
00:56:07And this place, it's a fucking luxury museum.
00:56:11What do you want, Claire?
00:56:13Patience.
00:56:17You know, we don't have to be enemies.
00:56:20You betrayed me.
00:56:22We were never that close anyway.
00:56:24But if I hurt your feelings, my bad.
00:56:29Consider this an apology.
00:56:31I don't believe you.
00:56:33Well, I'm not here for forgiveness.
00:56:34I'm here to make a deal.
00:56:35What deal?
00:56:36For years, I hated you.
00:56:39Thought you were this perfect, annoying sister that I could never live up to.
00:56:44We were never the same.
00:56:47You just had better luck from the start.
00:56:50What are you talking about?
00:56:53Anna Winters?
00:56:54No.
00:56:55Anna Crawford?
00:56:58You're Simon Crawford's daughter.
00:57:01The true heiress of the Crawford family.
00:57:06What?
00:57:11I'll summarize this whole soap opera backstory.
00:57:14Your mom, Simon's first wife, got caught in a crossfire.
00:57:18Lost her memory, married her dad.
00:57:21So, Fred, he's not...
00:57:24No.
00:57:25Not biologically.
00:57:27Does he know?
00:57:28Of course.
00:57:32Explains a lot, huh?
00:57:34I always used to think that he just loved us more, but turns out you're never his to love.
00:57:43But the weirdest part...
00:57:45What?
00:57:46He never told us.
00:57:48So, even as a terrible father, he protected you.
00:57:56Maybe, like, marrying you off to Damien?
00:58:00Maybe that was his messed up way of trying to make it right.
00:58:03No.
00:58:04No.
00:58:05It's too late for that.
00:58:06I know.
00:58:08Which brings me back to the deal.
00:58:10What deal?
00:58:11I want in.
00:58:15And I'll help you take them down.
00:58:17I still can't trust you.
00:58:19Good, you shouldn't.
00:58:22But we each have something the other wants.
00:58:25What might that be?
00:58:26Once you're in charge of the Crawford's, I want my cut.
00:58:30We sold you for half a million.
00:58:32Damien still hasn't checked that.
00:58:33I want that money for school and maybe a second chance at life.
00:58:44And in return, I'll take it at Damien.
00:58:57Look at this.
00:58:59Once the golden boy, now tied up like a dog.
00:59:02Here's exactly where you belong.
00:59:04What?
00:59:05Too proud to speak now?
00:59:07You think the family's going to side with you tomorrow?
00:59:10You're delusional.
00:59:12Not everyone in the family is an idiot, Helen.
00:59:14I know what you did to Simon.
00:59:15Simon was a sentimental fool.
00:59:18Do you think I really played the perfect wife for decades?
00:59:21Just to hand this legacy over to an outsider.
00:59:25That seat is mine.
00:59:29But it's fine now.
00:59:31A new beginning, starting tonight.
00:59:35Same flavor Simon got.
00:59:38Your turn to taste it.
00:59:43Drink up.
00:59:47Wait.
00:59:50Let me.
00:59:51I want my sweet revenge.
01:00:01Just play mom.
01:00:03I have the antidote.
01:00:04Is this really necessary?
01:00:19Relax.
01:00:20Just curious what revenge tastes like.
01:00:30Happy?
01:00:31What the hell?
01:00:35Claire, what the fuck?
01:00:37Guards, we have intruders.
01:00:38They're sleeping.
01:00:39You really should hire better help, Helen.
01:00:41You traitor.
01:00:42Yeah, that's kind of my thing now.
01:00:44You think you can steal this family away from me?
01:00:52I'm reclaiming what's rightfully mine.
01:00:54You can't bury the truth this time.
01:00:56Damien?
01:00:57Damien?
01:00:58Honey, look at me.
01:00:59You have to wake up, okay?
01:01:01He won't make it till morning.
01:01:03Say your tearful goodbyes, sweetheart.
01:01:05What did you do?
01:01:21You're working with him?
01:01:23Well, to be fair, you guys made it really easy.
01:01:25You bitch!
01:01:31What's so funny?
01:01:32You think this changes anything?
01:01:34I've already made my move.
01:01:36I am back in control.
01:01:38Hear that?
01:01:39Backup has arrived.
01:01:41We have to go.
01:01:42Take him.
01:01:46Run, scurry like rats.
01:01:48But you won't get far.
01:01:49We're not going to outrun them.
01:01:59I'm going to have to draw them away.
01:02:00Take him.
01:02:01Oh, just fuck no.
01:02:02Are you insane?
01:02:02You're pregnant.
01:02:03That's exactly why I have to do this.
01:02:05If Damien dies, what's left for us?
01:02:07Anna, wait.
01:02:08I'll do it.
01:02:09Rosa.
01:02:10You're the future of this family.
01:02:12I'm just a regret waiting to happen.
01:02:16I don't trust you.
01:02:18But I'm out of options.
01:02:19Now, get them out.
01:02:24Hey, you better not die for nothing.
01:02:28No promises.
01:02:34Looking for me?
01:02:35She's here.
01:02:36Let her bleed.
01:03:01So this is how it ends.
01:03:15No, Rosa.
01:03:18No, Rosa, stay with me.
01:03:19Come on.
01:03:20No, Rosa.
01:03:21Why would you do that?
01:03:43Because you were always worth the trouble.
01:03:52I'm sorry.
01:03:54Don't look at me like that.
01:03:57I hate it.
01:03:59Like what?
01:04:00I wanted to hate you.
01:04:08But I never could.
01:04:10Not really.
01:04:14I'm sorry.
01:04:15Don't waste it.
01:04:17Don't waste it.
01:04:19Be happy.
01:04:21Damien.
01:04:22That's all I want.
01:04:31Rosa?
01:04:32Rosa?
01:04:45I promise.
01:04:46I promise.
01:04:46You must have figured it out by now.
01:04:55Anna?
01:04:57It's my daughter.
01:04:58That's why I arranged for your marriage.
01:05:01It wasn't just for diplomacy.
01:05:02I'm grateful you did.
01:05:03That decision changed everything.
01:05:10It's done.
01:05:11The documents have been signed.
01:05:13You two will lead the family going forward.
01:05:16Together.
01:05:17Do what I never could.
01:05:18Make us better.
01:05:21We will.
01:05:24I promise.
01:05:33Morning, Wolf.
01:05:42Morning.
01:05:43I had the weirdest dream.
01:05:46Hmm?
01:05:48We had kids.
01:05:49Two of them.
01:05:52And they were adorable.
01:05:54But loud.
01:05:56So loud.
01:05:58Really?
01:05:59I had so much energy I couldn't keep up.
01:06:03So it wasn't a dream?
01:06:08No.
01:06:09Your dream is very much awake.
01:06:12And Chloe.
01:06:13Oh, no.
01:06:14No, no, girl.
01:06:16And you stay.
01:06:17You've done enough.
01:06:18Wait.
01:06:19Wait.
01:06:22I love you.
01:06:33You look even better in person.
01:06:48That's not the line.
01:06:49Sorry.
01:06:50Yes.
01:06:58It's pretty.
01:07:00Great.
01:07:03That's glad you're, huh?
01:07:05That's why I was laughing.
