00:00Less than last week, Linda's going to be furious.
00:06They are paying us thousands of dollars for Anna.
00:11We should have sold her off years ago.
00:13Dad, what if she says no?
00:15She has no choice.
00:17Dad?
00:18Oh, Anna, you're home early.
00:20What are you talking about?
00:21We owe some money and for once in your life,
00:24you're going to come in handy.
00:26You're selling me.
00:28Damien Crawford is looking for a bride,
00:31and you make a great fit.
00:33Damien?
00:34The adopted son of the Crawford crime family.
00:37He's dangerous.
00:39And that's exactly why he can afford a bride, sis.
00:42I brought home my pay.
00:44I can save more, but you have to give me some time.
00:47That's all.
00:48Drain your box?
00:49That's all you're worth?
00:50I'll work double shifts.
00:51I'll clean this house.
00:53I pay the bills.
00:54I paid your tuition, Claire.
00:56How could you be so ungrateful?
00:57Shut your mouth.
00:58Don't talk to my daughter that way.
01:03I'm your daughter too, Dad.
01:05Pack your bags.
01:06You're leaving tomorrow.
01:07Dad, please.
01:11Rumor is, he's old, bald, ugly.
01:15Smells like rot.
01:16Lucky you.
01:17He has a full package.
01:18Thank you for spreading your legs, you little whore.
01:20Enough, please.
01:22Sweet dreams, Mrs. Crawford.
01:23The Winters have agreed.
01:24We're half a million dollars they're sending their daughter tomorrow to be your bride.
01:37Solderous tribute, you mean.
01:39Either way, it's your father's wish to see you married.
01:43And he appointed the Winters girl himself.
01:44It's a contract.
01:45Nothing more.
01:46I'm gonna fall for some clueless toll from a crumbling family.
01:50She'll arrive in the morning.
01:52Well, we'll see if she's worth the price.
01:56Welcome, Mrs. Winters.
02:02Mr. Crawford?
02:03It's nice to meet you.
02:05I'm Jack, his assistant.
02:07Mr. Crawford is currently occupied.
02:08Of course.
02:09I'm so sorry.
02:10You're obviously too young to be him.
02:11Too young?
02:12How old do you think he is?
02:14I'm sure he's youthful at heart, even if his body says otherwise.
02:19What have you heard about Mr. Crawford?
02:21Just rumors, really.
02:22Come on.
02:23I'm not gonna tell.
02:24I hear he has a very specific hairstyle.
02:27Specific?
02:28As in, possibly no hair at all.
02:31Which is fine.
02:32I'm not really that into hair.
02:34Hair's very overrated.
02:36Noted.
02:37Anything else?
02:38Some say he avoids cologne.
02:40Or just that he has a signature scent.
02:42Not bad, just memorable.
02:45Sort of earthy or primal.
02:48Primal.
02:49Got it.
02:50He's mature, like a vintage wine.
02:53With depth and dust.
02:55He's seasoned.
02:56Season.
03:04Is that how you greet your future husband?
03:08I didn't mean to.
03:09Quite the first impression, Anna Winters.
03:12Let's see what your second one looks like.
03:14Look, let's skip the formalities.
03:27You need money.
03:28I have it.
03:29That's why you're here.
03:30I came here for my family.
03:31I don't care.
03:33Here's the arrangement.
03:34We married.
03:35In name only.
03:36I need a wife to maintain my family's trust.
03:38And a married man looks better to the public.
03:41You will be my wife.
03:42On paper.
03:43You'll attend events.
03:45You'll smile for cameras.
03:46You'll play the part.
03:47But nothing more.
03:49You will not share my meals.
03:50You will not share my space.
03:52And you certainly will not share my bed.
03:54You will stay in the room farthest away from mine.
03:57We will not be friends.
03:58Or lovers.
03:59Or anything other than strangers.
04:02I will not care for you.
04:04You will not interfere in my life.
04:07And I will never, ever, love you.
04:11Hence, I suggest you do the same.
04:14Are we clear?
04:18Good.
04:20I have one request.
04:21Look, if you're hoping that I'm going to treat you like a real white-
04:23When it's done.
04:27I want a divorce.
04:35When this is all over, I want the freedom to remarry.
04:39For actual love.
04:41Love.
04:43You serious?
04:45I'm giving my family my first marriage.
04:47But my second will be for me.
04:50I'm not giving up on love.
04:51Do you have any idea how laughable you sound right now?
04:53I'll follow your rules if you agree to mine.
04:58There's no reason to object.
05:09Fine.
05:11After this farce is over, you can run off and chase whatever fairytale you want.
05:18If you're that desperate for affection.
05:20Don't worry.
05:21His bark is worse than his bite.
05:22Renee.
05:23Damien's associate.
05:24I help clean his messes.
05:25Nice to meet you.
05:26Did I do something wrong?
05:28With Damien?
05:29Probably.
05:30Bad first impressions are his specialty.
05:31You'll get along.
05:33That doesn't seem to be much of a priority for him.
05:34You're pretty.
05:35He's a man.
05:36Trust me.
05:37It will become a priority.
05:38She's different.
05:39There's no fear, no resentment, no agenda.
05:41There's no one I can see.
05:42I wanna know who she really is.
05:43I see she's growing on you.
05:44I see she's growing on you.
05:45You're not a bad guy.
05:46You're not a bad guy, no bad guy.
05:47You're not a bad guy.
05:48You'll get along.
05:49That doesn't seem to be much of a priority for him.
05:50You're pretty.
05:51He's a man.
05:52Trust me, it will become a priority.
05:53She's different.
05:54There's no fear, no resentment, no agenda.
05:57It's not one I can see.
05:58I wanna know who she really is.
05:59I see she's growing on you.
06:00my no agenda is not one I can see. I want to know who she really is. I see she's growing on you.
06:17Come on, don't you mind darling when he steps this in?
06:22Stop! You monster! You tried to kill me!
06:27It was an accident! You murderer! You tried to kill me! Stay away from me!
06:36Mr. Crawford, what are you doing in here? Why are you sleeping on the floor?
06:43The bed's too soft. I'm more used to the floor. In your old house you slept on the floor?
06:57Damien?
07:05From now on you sleep on the bed.
07:08Why? Why do you care?
07:11Because if you don't, I'm gonna tie you to it.
07:14I'm gonna tie you to it.
07:21Anna was bullied her whole life. Her mother left after she was born. Fred remarried, had a new family,
07:27left her behind. But Anna was always treated as a burden, never truly part of the family.
07:32And there was an incident, a serious one, with her step-brother Eric.
07:38He claimed that she tried to seduce him. And when he rejected her, she harmed him out of jealousy.
07:44And what did Anna say?
07:46She accused him of assaults. Said he tried to touch her.
07:49But no one would believe her. Not her family, not the school, not even her father, Fred.
07:58Fred knew. And he did nothing.
08:00And she delivered to the same roof as that bastard.
08:05The family claimed she was unstable, delusional. Anna was completely alone.
08:12Unbliefful.
08:15Our own father let this happen.
08:22Anna?
08:26Anna!
08:26Don't follow me.
08:27Don't run from me.
08:29How could I not? What was it?
08:30What was that in there? Some kind of background check?
08:32You want to confirm exactly how pathetic I am?
08:35I want the truth.
08:36For what? So you can feel sorry for me?
08:38So I can understand.
08:39You don't get to understand me.
08:42Not after you told me that this is just a contract and that I meant nothing to you.
08:46Anna.
08:49Look at me.
08:53I'm so used to people like you. Curious and then disgusted.
08:58Men who think they're doing me a favor by asking questions they don't want to know the answers to.
09:03I'm not like them.
09:06Then let go of me.
09:10Look, I've made choices that I'm not proud of. I've built an empire with blood on my hands.
09:14I've made deals that I would sooner forget.
09:16But I know that there was a line between what is right and what is wrong.
09:22As long as you are under this roof, no one is ever going to hurt you again.
09:26You're not alone anymore. It's not just a promise. That is my duty as your husband.
09:34You mean that?
09:35Through hardship, scandal, war.
09:39Yes.
09:41I'll stand by you.
09:42But it doesn't change the rules, right?
09:52Rules?
09:54Contract.
10:01Right.
10:03Our wedding tomorrow is just it's just for sure.
10:06Get some rest.
10:17Big day, Damien?
10:18It is.
10:19You know, you may be adopted, but you've always reminded me of myself.
10:26Dad, I'm really hoping this wedding can boost his family's image.
10:30Restore some faith.
10:31You have a strong sense of right and wrong, son. That's why I named you heir.
10:37Now listen to me. I know what you've been trying to do. Clean up this family.
10:41Drag us out of this dark legacy. But I need you to be careful.
10:45There are people who wish to soon fail.
10:48You mean that you'd always have my back, right?
10:50I'm getting old, Damien. I can't protect you much longer.
10:56It's dangerous what you're trying to do. This marriage can be your shield.
10:59Dad, come on. Don't talk like you're already gone.
11:05Damien, just promise me you'll give this marriage a chance.
11:10I know you'll find happiness with this girl. Together.
11:13Maybe we will.
11:25Anna Winters, do you take this man, Damien Crawford, to be your lawfully wedded husband
11:32and promise to protect, love, and cherish him till death do you part?
11:39I do.
11:45I now pronounce you husband and wife.
11:48Welcome to the family, Mrs. Crawford.
12:04Anna, how are you settling in?
12:06I couldn't be more grateful, Mr. Crawford. Everything is so much more than I imagined.
12:13Quite the upgrade for you, I imagine. The adopted and the discarded. What a pair.
12:19Ellen.
12:23Forgive me. I need a drink.
12:26Ignore her. She's tired.
12:28Simon's second wife. She hates everyone, especially me.
12:37Ah, congratulations. You must be Anna. So, so stunning.
12:45Kyle?
12:48Didn't know you were invited.
12:49Come on. Dad may have named you heir, but I'm his actual son.
12:52Yeah, I can't imagine how that happened. Genetics is so cool.
12:57Still sharp as ever, Dame Dame.
13:00If you ever want a taste of the real deal, just know I'm available.
13:08My sister-in-law. Can't wait to get to know you better.
13:11That's, that's very flattering, Kyle.
13:14Kyle?
13:15Flirt with someone else. That's my wife.
13:18Everyone's been very kind.
13:23Stop embarrassing me.
13:26What?
13:26You've been flirting with every other man here.
13:28It's pathetic.
13:29I'm just being polite.
13:30No, you're just being desperate for attention.
13:34Just remember your place.
13:36You're here as a contract wife, nothing more.
13:48The wedding was a hit. Did you and Anna sneak in some alone time?
13:52Why is she?
13:54You don't know.
13:55She left early.
13:56I wanted to thank the guests and greet the press.
14:01She went alone?
14:02Yes.
14:03Said she wanted to make a good impression so that she can help you.
14:09She thinks she can help me.
14:11Actually, yeah.
14:13She said it may be a contract marriage, but she wants to be useful.
14:16Not just an arm candy.
14:20She said that.
14:24And I think she may be right.
14:25The mysterious Mrs. Crawford is winning hearts today.
14:29Graceful, confident, and completely at ease with the guests.
14:32People love her.
14:33They say she's the most gracious Crawford they've met.
14:37I went too far last night.
14:38Too far in bed?
14:40It wasn't like that.
14:44I need to see her.
14:49The venue is under fire.
14:51We're being attacked.
14:54It's chaos here.
14:56Anna Crawford appears to be missing.
14:58The situation is fluid.
15:00We'll try and stay with you for as long as possible.
15:06It was a setup.
15:06It has to be the Baronex.
15:08Get the car, now.
15:16Oh, I can smell you, Madam Crawford.
15:19Come on out, sweetheart.
15:21Let's make this easy.
15:22We found you.
15:28Get out of me!
15:31Somebody help!
15:32Get your hands off my life.
16:02Get out of me!
16:12Behind you!
16:15Regret that.
16:28Go!
16:29Stop!
16:32You okay?
16:40You got hurt.
16:41It's just a scratch.
16:42I've had worse.
16:43Are you okay?
16:44Yeah.
16:44Take your shirt off.
16:46From here?
16:47Yes, here.
16:48Now.
16:48Come on.
16:48Take your shirt off.
16:49Okay.
16:50We'll see you soon.
16:59Whoa, hey.
17:00What are you doing?
17:00I thought you didn't check everything.
17:03That's not.
17:04I didn't mean to.
17:09Put your clothes back on.
17:10Interesting fashion choice?
17:22Damien.
17:22I thought you had left.
17:26Sit.
17:27I should go change first.
17:29You're at home.
17:30You're at home.
17:31Buy whatever you want.
17:34Come.
17:35Have breakfast with me.
17:36I thought I wasn't allowed to eat with you.
17:39I'll allow an exception.
17:44I have a few reminders for you.
17:50So about those reminders?
17:56Great.
17:58Don't even think about sleeping on the floor while I'm gone.
18:02Oh, I wouldn't.
18:03I haven't been.
18:05I won't.
18:07The bed's really comfortable, actually.
18:10Good.
18:13Is that all?
18:14Aren't you going to say goodbye?
18:27Goodbye.
18:29He means a kiss.
18:30Yes.
18:31Oh, um.
18:37Too late.
18:47Dad, do something.
18:49Damien voided the checks.
18:50And he sent me a court order.
18:51They're threatening to throw me in jail.
18:53Why is he doing this?
18:53We haven't even done anything to him.
18:55He's accusing Eric of a crime against his sister.
18:58And you for turning a blind eye.
19:00This is Anna's doing.
19:01That bitch set us up.
19:03She's a slut.
19:04I'll tell Damien the truth.
19:06That she's filthy.
19:07I nearly had her, and I just...
19:09Shut your mouth!
19:10You want to stay alive?
19:11Don't speak like that ever again.
19:15Guys, this is insane.
19:17I need my money.
19:19Dad, we need to take back what's ours.
19:21And how exactly do you plan to do that?
19:23Oh, the winter's daughter.
19:31I've heard great things about you.
19:32I'm sorry, who are you?
19:34Your rescue boat.
19:35Because you see, soon I'll be head of the Crawford family.
19:38Right, so punch first, then block below.
19:50Got it?
19:50Okay.
19:53Good.
19:53You pick up fast.
19:54I've had good motivation.
19:56Motivation?
19:56Well, last time Damien rescued me, he got hurt.
20:00I know it's probably not a big deal.
20:02I know he's had worse, but...
20:05You're hurt.
20:06It's just a scratch.
20:11I can't stop thinking about it.
20:14I want to be strong enough to protect him, too.
20:16Even if it's just a little bit.
20:18You aren't exceeding expectations, Anna.
20:21I know everyone still thinks I'm just iron candy.
20:25But I have to be more.
20:26I have to...
20:28I need to matter.
20:30I'm pretty sure you do, to Damien.
20:32Has he said that?
20:33Have you and Damien kept in touch since he left?
20:35Well, sort of.
20:37He called me once.
20:39Accidentally.
20:40Accidentally?
20:41He meant to press someone else's name.
20:43We talked for a little bit.
20:44It's...
20:45That's all.
20:46Damien doesn't make mistakes.
20:47If he called you, it was to hear your voice.
20:50You really think so?
20:51What's going on?
21:05Damien, you're back.
21:06I lost my balance.
21:09Jack was just helping me.
21:10Strictly training.
21:11Like you instructed.
21:12Seems like I came at the wrong moment.
21:15Perhaps a proper welcome home would help.
21:17A proper welcome?
21:19Well, uh, I'll give you two some privacy.
21:25Oh, um.
21:30Welcome back.
21:30If you're gonna do it.
21:45Do it right.
21:47Welcome home, Damien.
21:49Go get dressed.
21:52I'm going to see your dad.
22:00Can I ask?
22:01Why are we going back to my father's?
22:04There are some issues that are uncovered.
22:06And I need to address them.
22:08Personally.
22:11You're not thrilled to go back?
22:13Neither are they.
22:16Trust me.
22:17No one at that house ever wanted me.
22:28We've got a new house now, Damien.
22:29We have a family that's lucky to have you.
22:50No one wants you here.
22:51Just so you know.
22:53Always a pleasure, Claire.
22:54Save it.
22:55Where's your old, ugly husband?
22:57Is it too grumpy to walk or did you dump her already?
23:17I assume you're talking about me?
23:27I assume you're talking about me.
23:32No, it can't be.
23:33They said that you were old, hideous.
23:35You were the Crawford criminal.
23:37I'm here to see your father.
23:39Show me to him.
23:41And then get out of my sight.
23:45You called to say we have some matters to clarify.
23:48So talk.
23:50I'm listening.
23:50You haven't cashed your promises.
23:55The money.
23:55Let's not forget the criminal who assaulted his own sister.
23:58My wife is still here alive and breathing.
24:05Mr. Crawford, we kept up our end of the bargain.
24:08You have Anna.
24:10We just want our money.
24:11Our family has never hurt anyone.
24:14You call this a family.
24:18You gave away Anna, your own daughter, and spoiled her other children.
24:21Look, you can't listen to Anna.
24:22She lies.
24:23She twists things around.
24:24No.
24:24No.
24:25Your disgusting son is a liar.
24:27He's a disgrace and a bastard who assaulted his own sister.
24:40Please have mercy as a father.
24:43You are not a father.
24:44You are a coward.
24:46Damien!
24:47I'm right here.
24:48That's enough.
24:49I stand tall.
24:50I will face my fears.
24:52And I won't run.
24:53There's no tears.
24:56From this day forward, these people are no longer my family.
25:02And strangers aren't worth your rage.
25:09Consider this mercy.
25:11From now on, anyone who touches her dies by my hand.
25:22No one can hurt you now.
25:30I'm in.
25:31Whatever it takes.
25:34Destroy my sister.
25:52Just making sure you're sleeping in the bed.
25:54I am.
25:55I promise.
25:58Can you stay with me tonight?
26:05It's just been such a long day.
26:07I'm not forgetting the terms of our agreement.
26:11I shouldn't have asked.
26:14I'm sorry.
26:23You're right.
26:25It has been a long day.
26:27Yeah.
26:41It's just been such a long day.
26:47Shouldn't you be thanking me?
26:49For honoring and protecting you?
26:52I should.
26:59My husband.
27:12Good morning, Mrs. Crawford.
27:14How did you sleep?
27:16If you slept at all.
27:17We didn't.
27:19Never mind.
27:21Don't be shy.
27:22I've never seen Damien this happy.
27:25Renee?
27:28What's Damien really like?
27:30I want to get to know him better.
27:33What's on your mind?
27:34Sometimes I feel so close to him and like we're really connecting and then he pulls away.
27:43And it's like I'm back at square one and just part of some plan.
27:46Look, he's really clumsy with words, but everyone can tell he's different with you.
27:51That's a good thing.
27:53We started as a contract with rules he wrote himself.
27:58I can't tell if I'm someone he's just protecting or if he actually-
28:02Then show him.
28:02Let him feel what you're too afraid to say.
28:06How?
28:24I-I just wanted to say goodnight.
28:28Goodnight.
28:32I told you before, if you're gonna do it, do it properly.
28:44Then teach me.
