Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I found the three wolf pups. On a wet, gray afternoon, I brought them home.
00:00:04Under my care, they recovered fast, and all three of them shifted into men.
00:00:08The next day, she showed up at my door with bags upon bags.
00:00:11She was radiant and magnetic. All three shifters' eyes went straight to her.
00:00:15Chloe's coming to take all of you this afternoon.
00:00:18Chloe's bright smile filled the frame.
00:00:20You all belong to me now. Just come home and do the arranged marriage.
00:00:23That body, that stamina.
00:00:25And she thought she could handle three of us.
00:00:27Doesn't matter. The second she taps out, she'll hand us off to her sister.
00:00:30She can't even get out of bed right now.
00:00:31A few more days of this, and she'll give up on us for good.
00:00:34The conversation from the living room kept going.
00:00:36They thought I was still asleep.
00:00:37I kept my eyes low, watching the marks on my wrists and legs
00:00:40and the amber glow of the bedside lamp.
00:00:42Every single one of them. Unmistakable.
00:00:44She's not gonna hand all three of us over to her sister.
00:00:46Right. Which means at least one of us stays.
00:00:48Ugh. Elena's dull and boring.
00:00:50You wanna stay? Go ahead. I don't.
00:00:52Same. Whatever.
00:00:54Fate decides. Is she up yet?
00:00:55No way. She was crying so hard she nearly passed out.
00:00:58She's not waking up anytime soon.
00:01:00So weak.
00:01:01Let's get her up in a bit.
00:01:02A few more days of this and she'll give up on us.
00:01:03My vision went dark.
00:01:04I reached for my phone, face pale, and called Chloe.
00:01:07She picked up fast.
00:01:09What's wrong, sis?
00:01:11Weren't you just saying you were unsatisfied?
00:01:13Take all three of mine.
00:01:15Give me that celibate snake shifter of yours.
00:01:18Is that okay?
00:01:20Are they willing?
00:01:21They like you.
00:01:22She understood because it was the truth.
00:01:25Everyone liked Chloe more.
00:01:27Alright.
00:01:27Your place is small anyway.
00:01:29Not really ideal for them.
00:01:30But my snake shifter, sis?
00:01:32He's cold.
00:01:34If he weren't celibic,
00:01:35I wouldn't have asked for him in the first place.
00:01:38I'm completely wrecked.
00:01:40I just need someone to handle the housework.
00:01:45I just hope he doesn't turn out like these three wolves.
00:01:48Don't worry.
00:01:49I haven't managed to tame him yet.
00:01:51He's not going to be interested in you.
00:01:53I'll come pick them up this afternoon.
00:01:54The line went dead.
00:01:55That exact second, the bedroom door swung open.
00:01:58You're up?
00:01:58He crossed the room and reached for my blanket.
00:02:00Wait!
00:02:01What is it, mistress?
00:02:03I'm exhausted.
00:02:03I need to rest.
00:02:04Can't do that, he said easily.
00:02:06Mistress, you took us in.
00:02:07That means you're responsible for us.
00:02:08We're nowhere near satisfied.
00:02:09If you rest, what are we supposed to do?
00:02:13Chloe's coming to take all of you this afternoon.
00:02:16He went still.
00:02:17The two leaning in the doorway froze too.
00:02:19Which two of us?
00:02:21All of you.
00:02:23I found the three wolf pups on a wet, gray afternoon.
00:02:26They were collapsed on the concrete.
00:02:28Fur matted, blood soaked from the rain.
00:02:30I almost walked away.
00:02:32But then, one of them flicked its tail.
00:02:34Just twice, slow and weak.
00:02:35Then curled it around my ankle.
00:02:37I couldn't leave them.
00:02:38I brought them home.
00:02:39Under my care, they recovered fast.
00:02:41A few months later, they hit their maturation phase.
00:02:43And all three of them shifted into men.
00:02:46I should have brought them to a shifter registry.
00:02:48But the registry told me they'd already bonded.
00:02:50Recognized me completely as their owner.
00:02:52Releasing them without care would cause serious psychological harm.
00:02:55I looked at those three pairs of beautiful eyes and caved.
00:02:58I let them stay.
00:02:59They said they had no names.
00:03:01So I gave them some.
00:03:02Oldest to youngest.
00:03:03Ethan, Eric, Evan.
00:03:05Young, hot-blooded wolf shifters with energy to burn.
00:03:08Even in human form, they couldn't stop their ears and tails from flickering.
00:03:11Clinging to me every hour of every day.
00:03:13Then one afternoon, Chloe called.
00:03:16Sis, aren't you going to come home for the arranged marriage?
00:03:19The man has had three wives die on him.
00:03:20And he's ugly.
00:03:21But his family has money.
00:03:22I looked away.
00:03:24That was exactly why my family had cut me off after I fought the arrangement.
00:03:27They couldn't bring themselves to send Chloe in my place.
00:03:30So instead, they applied steady, relentless pressure on me.
00:03:33Eric, who always read the room perfectly.
00:03:35Don't like the call?
00:03:36Hang up.
00:03:36What was that voice?
00:03:37I took the opening to change the subject.
00:03:39I rescued three injured wolf pups a while back.
00:03:42They just shifted recently and they won't leave me alone.
00:03:45We can barely keep up.
00:03:46A few seconds of silence.
00:03:47I'm honestly jealous.
00:03:49My snake shifter won't even let me touch him.
00:03:52He'll warm up eventually.
00:03:53Chloe just gave a soft, unconvinced hum.
00:03:55The next day, she showed up at my door with bags upon bags.
00:03:58She wore a pretty little white dress, beaming at me.
00:04:02Surprise, sis!
00:04:03I turned around.
00:04:04All three shifters' eyes went straight to her.
00:04:07I quietly turned back.
00:04:08I was used to it, honestly.
00:04:10Everyone gravitated toward Chloe.
00:04:12She was radiant and magnetic.
00:04:13Every gesture, every smile pulled at people without even trying.
00:04:16Standing next to her, I felt exactly like what I was.
00:04:19Plain and unremarkable.
00:04:21Chloe glanced around.
00:04:22Your apartment is so much smaller than the family estate.
00:04:24Is there even enough room for them?
00:04:27It's fine.
00:04:27Then I watched Ethan, usually disinterested in everything,
00:04:30let his gaze drift to Chloe.
00:04:32Eric's devastating smile turned itself on her instead.
00:04:35Even Evan, the moody one, propped his head up to stare at her,
00:04:38his wolf ears flickering nonstop.
00:04:40Chloe didn't seem to notice.
00:04:41She sipped her water with perfect innocence.
00:04:44In that moment, I knew.
00:04:45My things were about to drift quietly toward Chloe again.
00:04:48Until I heard their conversation.
00:04:50I'd been right all along.
00:04:52One look at Chloe, and they'd fallen.
00:04:54The afternoon came fast.
00:04:55A knock at the door.
00:04:56Chloe arrived.
00:04:57The silence that had settled over the apartment deepened into something heavier.
00:05:00You're really giving all three of us to her?
00:05:03Yes.
00:05:04Not keeping one for yourself?
00:05:06Which of you wants to stay with me?
00:05:07The air curdled.
00:05:08No one answered.
00:05:09Finally, Evan got up and went to open the door.
00:05:12He rolled his eyes, a flick of contempt on his face.
00:05:14Stop pretending to be decent.
00:05:16Both of you.
00:05:17Chloe's bright smile filled the frame.
00:05:19Hi, boys.
00:05:20My sister already explained things, right?
00:05:23You all belong to me now.
00:05:25Hey there.
00:05:26New mistress.
00:05:26Chloe looked him over with satisfaction, then let her gaze sweep across Eric and Ethan.
00:05:31You're all gorgeous.
00:05:33Did you pack?
00:05:34Actually, never mind.
00:05:36I'm sure my sister couldn't afford to buy you much anyway.
00:05:38We'll get everything new at the villa.
00:05:39Ethan gave a lazy murmur of agreement.
00:05:42Eric glanced at Chloe, then slid his eyes over to me.
00:05:44I kept my face blank.
00:05:46Every set of eyes in the room landed on me at once.
00:05:48Chloe noticed.
00:05:49She walked up to me.
00:05:50Don't worry, sis.
00:05:51I'll take better care of them.
00:05:53And when you're done playing house, just come home and do the arranged marriage.
00:05:58Stop stressing mom and dad.
00:06:00Arranged marriage?
00:06:01What arranged marriage?
00:06:05I found the three wolf pups.
00:06:07On a wet, gray afternoon, I brought them home.
00:06:09Under my care, they recovered fast.
00:06:11And all three of them shifted into men.
00:06:13The next day, she showed up at my door with bags upon bags.

00:13:11So weak.
00:13:12Let's get her up in a bit.
00:13:12A few more days of this and she'll give up on us.
00:13:14My vision went dark.
00:13:15I reached for my phone, face pale, and called Chloe.
00:13:18She picked up fast.
00:13:19What's wrong, sis?
00:13:21Weren't you just saying you were unsatisfied?
00:13:24Take all three of mine.
00:13:25Give me that celibate snake shifter of yours.
00:13:29Is that okay?
00:13:30Are they willing?
00:13:32They like you.
00:13:33She understood because it was the truth.
00:13:35Everyone liked Chloe more.
00:13:38Alright.
00:13:38Your place is small anyway.
00:13:39Not really ideal for them.
00:13:41But my snake shifter, sis?
00:13:43He's cold.
00:13:44If he weren't celibic, I wouldn't have asked for him in the first place.
00:13:48I'm completely wrecked.
00:13:51I just need someone to handle the housework.
00:13:55I just hope he doesn't turn out like these three wolves.
00:13:59Don't worry.
00:14:00I haven't managed to tame him yet.
00:14:01He's not going to be interested in you.
00:14:03I'll come pick them up this afternoon.
00:14:05The line went dead.
00:14:06That exact second, the bedroom door swung open.
00:14:09You're up?
00:14:09He crossed the room and reached for my blanket.
00:14:11Wait!
00:14:12What is it, mistress?
00:14:13I'm exhausted.
00:14:14I need to rest.
00:14:15Can't do that, he said easily.
00:14:17Mistress, you took us in.
00:14:18That means you're responsible for us.
00:14:19We're nowhere near satisfied.
00:14:20If you rest, what are we supposed to do?
00:14:21I'm sorry.
00:14:22I'm sorry.
00:14:24Chloe's coming to take all of you this afternoon.
00:14:26He went still.
00:14:27The two leaning in the doorway froze too.
00:14:30Which two of us?
00:14:32All of you.
00:14:33I found the three wolf pups on a wet, gray afternoon.
00:14:37They were collapsed on the concrete, firm matted, blood soaked from the rain.
00:14:41I almost walked away.
00:14:42But then, one of them flicked its tail.
00:14:44Just twice, slow and weak.
00:14:46Then curled it around my ankle.
00:14:48I couldn't leave them.
00:14:49I brought them home.
00:14:50Under my care, they recovered fast.
00:14:51A few months later, they hit their maturation phase.
00:14:54And all three of them shifted into men.
00:14:56I should have brought them to a shifter registry.
00:14:59But the registry told me they'd already bonded.
00:15:01Recognized me completely as their owner.
00:15:03Releasing them without care would cause serious psychological harm.
00:15:06I looked at those three pairs of beautiful eyes and caved.
00:15:09I let them stay.
00:15:10They said they had no names.
00:15:11So I gave them some.
00:15:12Oldest to youngest.
00:15:14Ethan, Eric, Evan.
00:15:15Young, hot-blooded wolf shifters with energy to burn.
00:15:18Even in human form, they couldn't stop their ears and tails from flickering.
00:15:22Clinging to me every hour of every day.
00:15:24Then, one afternoon, Chloe called.
00:15:27Sis, aren't you going to come home for the arranged marriage?
00:15:29The man has had three wives die on him.
00:15:31And he's ugly.
00:15:32But his family has money.
00:15:33I looked away.
00:15:34That was exactly why my family had cut me off after I fought the arrangement.
00:15:38They couldn't bring themselves to send Chloe in my place.
00:15:41So instead, they applied steady, relentless pressure on me.
00:15:44Eric, who always read the room perfectly.
00:15:46Don't like the call?
00:15:46Hang up.
00:15:47What was that voice?
00:15:48I took the opening to change the subject.
00:15:50I rescued three injured wolf pups a while back.
00:15:52They just shifted recently and they won't leave me alone.
00:15:55We can barely keep up.
00:15:56A few seconds of silence.
00:15:58I'm honestly jealous.
00:16:00My snake shifter won't even let me touch him.
00:16:02He'll warm up eventually.
00:16:04Chloe just gave a soft, unconvinced hum.
00:16:06The next day, she showed up at my door with bags upon bags.
00:16:09She wore a pretty little white dress, beaming at me.
00:16:13Surprise, sis!
00:16:14I turned around.
00:16:15All three shifters' eyes went straight to her.
00:16:17I quietly turned back.
00:16:19I was used to it, honestly.
00:16:20Everyone gravitated toward Chloe.
00:16:22She was radiant and magnetic.
00:16:24Every gesture, every smile pulled at people without even trying.
00:16:27Standing next to her, I felt exactly like what I was.
00:16:30Plain and unremarkable.
00:16:31Chloe glanced around.
00:16:32Your apartment is so much smaller than the family estate.
00:16:35Is there even enough room for them?
00:16:37It's fine.
00:16:38Then I watched Ethan, usually disinterested in everything, let his gaze drift to Chloe.
00:16:43Eric's devastating smile turned itself on her instead.
00:16:46Even Evan, the moody one, propped his head up to stare at her, his wolf ears flickering
00:16:50nonstop.
00:16:51Chloe didn't seem to notice.
00:16:52She sipped her water with perfect innocence.
00:16:54In that moment, I knew.
00:16:56My things were about to drift quietly toward Chloe again.
00:16:59Until I heard their conversation.
00:17:01I'd been right all along.
00:17:02One look at Chloe, and they'd fallen.
00:17:04The afternoon came fast.
00:17:06A knock at the door.
00:17:07Chloe arrived.
00:17:08The silence that had settled over the apartment deepened into something heavier.
00:17:11You're really giving all three of us to her?
00:17:14Yes.
00:17:15Not keeping one for yourself?
00:17:16Which of you wants to stay with me?
00:17:18The air curdled.
00:17:19No one answered.
00:17:20Finally, Evan got up and went to open the door.
00:17:22He rolled his eyes, a flick of contempt on his face.
00:17:25Stop pretending to be decent.
00:17:26Both of you.
00:17:28Chloe's bright smile filled the frame.
00:17:30Hi, boys.
00:17:31My sister already explained things, right?
00:17:33You all belong to me now.
00:17:35Hey there.
00:17:36New mistress.
00:17:37Chloe looked him over with satisfaction, then let her gaze sweep across Eric and Ethan.
00:17:42You're all gorgeous.
00:17:43Did you pack?
00:17:45Actually, never mind.
00:17:46I'm sure my sister couldn't afford to buy you much anyway.
00:17:49We'll get everything new at the villa.
00:17:50Ethan gave a lazy murmur of agreement.
00:17:52Eric glanced at Chloe, then slid his eyes over to me.
00:17:55I kept my face blank.
00:17:56Every set of eyes in the room landed on me at once.
00:17:59Chloe noticed.
00:18:00She walked up to me.
00:18:01Don't worry, sis.
00:18:02I'll take better care of them.
00:18:03And when you're done playing house, just come home and do the arranged marriage.
00:18:08Stop stressing mom and dad.
00:18:10Arranged marriage?
00:18:12What arranged marriage?
00:18:15I found the three wolf pups.
00:18:17On a wet, gray afternoon, I brought them home.
00:18:20Under my care, they recovered fast, and all three of them shifted into men.
00:18:24The next day, she showed up at my door with bags upon bags.
00:18:27She was radiant and magnetic.
00:18:29All three shifters' eyes went straight to her.
00:18:31Chloe's coming to take all of you this afternoon.
00:18:34Chloe's bright smile filled the frame.
00:18:35You all belong to me now.
00:18:37Just come home and do the arranged marriage.
00:18:39That body, that stamina.
00:18:41And she thought she could handle three of us.
00:18:43Doesn't matter.
00:18:44The second she taps out, she'll hand us off to her sister.
00:18:46She can't even get out of bed right now.
00:18:47A few more days of this, and she'll give up on us for good.
00:18:49The conversation from the living room kept going.
00:18:51They thought I was still asleep.
00:18:53I kept my eyes low, watching the marks on my wrists and legs and the amber glow of the
00:18:57bedside lamp.
00:18:57Every single one of them.
00:18:59Unmistakable.
00:19:00She's not going to hand all three of us over to her sister.
00:19:02Right.
00:19:02Which means at least one of us stays.
00:19:04Ugh.
00:19:05Elena's dull and boring.
00:19:06You want to stay?
00:19:07Go ahead.
00:19:07I don't.
00:19:08Same.
00:19:09Whatever.
00:19:09Fate decides.
00:19:11Is she up yet?
00:19:12No way.
00:19:12She was crying so hard she nearly passed out.
00:19:14She's not waking up anytime soon.
00:19:16So weak.
00:19:17Let's get her up in a bit.
00:19:18A few more days of this and she'll give up on us.
00:19:19My vision went dark.
00:19:20I reached for my phone, face pale, and called Chloe.

00:24:25Happy birthday, dude.
00:24:26Yo, we got your surprise.
00:24:35All right, open it up.
00:24:38Hey!
00:24:44Oh, is this your idea?
00:24:46I would love to hop on that.
00:24:48Hop?
00:24:48Really, man?
00:24:50She's wearing a bunny costume.
00:24:54Come on, don't be shy.
00:24:57Come on, man.
00:24:57Have some fun.
00:25:01I don't want her.
00:25:04Dude, you've been married to work for years.
00:25:07No girls, nada.
00:25:08And now you're saying no to all of this?
00:25:11Come on, man.
00:25:12You, like, all good down there or what?
00:25:14Watch your mouth.
00:25:17All right, hey, he doesn't want you and virgins aren't really my thing.
00:25:21So, you can get out of here.
00:25:23Nobody wants her?
00:25:25Cool.
00:25:26I'll take her.
00:25:29Stop.
00:25:39Hello?
00:25:40Miss Foss, this is the hospital.
00:25:42Your sister's surgery is tomorrow.
00:25:44We need the full payment tonight or we'll have to cancel the procedure.
00:25:48Please, don't cancel.
00:25:50She finally got a match.
00:25:51She can't wait.
00:25:52I'm right.
00:25:53I need to have her girl.
00:25:54It's all right.
00:25:55I can't wait.
00:25:56Give me more time.
00:25:57I brought it up.
00:25:58I'm ready.
00:26:20I'm ready.
00:26:37Please. Please, sir. Please, sir, just want me some money. I promise I can work it off. I gotta go.
00:26:45I'll clean. I'll do anything.
00:26:46Please, I promise I'll pay you back. I will do whatever it takes. I... You can be with me. I
00:26:55don't sleep alone. I promise.
00:26:59My Lord just called. My mom with the $100 million trust fund. I don't get a cent unless I'm married.
00:27:06Funny, I've spent years too busy for women. Now, there's one standing right in front of me.
00:27:13You said you'd do anything. Let's get married.
00:27:16What?
00:27:17I need a wife on paper. You need cash. So let's get married and then we'll stay out of each
00:27:23other's lives. Yes or no?
00:27:30Yes.
00:27:38Write whatever amount you want.
00:27:42I don't mean much.
00:27:43A million? No problem.
00:27:47I'll have my lawyer contact you.
00:27:49No.
00:27:50I have to leave tonight. I have to fly up. I'm gonna come back with our divorce.
00:27:55No.
00:27:58I was going to say a hundred grand.
00:28:00He just gave me a million.
00:28:03This is enough to save my sister and keep me in the school of perfect law.
00:28:10No.
00:28:15This is enough to save my sister and keep me in the school of perfect law.
00:28:23Welcome back, boss.
00:28:33Hey grandma.
00:28:35Alex.
00:28:36Hey.
00:28:37Hey.
00:28:38Hey.
00:28:38Hey.
00:28:38Hey.
00:28:38What's going on?
00:28:39I don't know how much longer I have.
00:28:42Can you come see me?
00:28:45One more time?
00:28:48Listen.
00:28:49I'll be right there.
00:28:50Okay.
00:28:50You hang on.
00:28:52Take me to the hospital.
00:28:53Now.
00:28:59Hey, Anne.
00:29:00I'm right outside.
00:29:01Coming up now.
00:29:02Take your time, honey.
00:29:04No rush.
00:29:10Pretty good acting, Anne.
00:29:12Finally, Zoe and Alex are both on their way.
00:29:18This time, I'm getting a grand baby.
00:29:24Oh, hell no.
00:29:28Look who it is.
00:29:30The bitch who helped my ex take half of all my shit, huh?
00:29:34You really thought you could just walk away?
00:29:37Boss, I'm going to wait back here.
00:29:39Okay.
00:29:42Cole, you cheated on your wife.
00:29:44I could have left you with nothing.
00:29:45You better pay those alimony checks or I'll haul your ass back to court.
00:29:49You bitch.
00:29:53Go to hell!
00:30:08Watch it, killer.
00:30:09Easy there, killer.
00:30:10Sorry.
00:30:11Of course I have it.
00:30:14Well, I think I just saved his life.
00:30:16Yep.
00:30:17I think if you waited a few more seconds, he would have been saying goodnight to the world.
00:30:22Um, thank you for jumping in.
00:30:24Your coat, uh, here.
00:30:26Send me the bill.
00:30:27I'll cover it.
00:30:28I've got to get upstairs.
00:30:29Someone's waiting for me.
00:30:30But, uh, call me anytime.
00:30:43Zoe, thank you for everything you've done for the last three years.
00:30:48Taking care of me.
00:30:50Anne, don't worry.
00:30:51You're family, and that's what family does.
00:30:54You're a good girl.
00:30:56Alex will show up soon.
00:30:59But don't worry.
00:31:00I'm going to make sure that he steps up to being a real husband this time.
00:31:06He's back in, in, in L.A.
00:31:08Mm-hmm.
00:31:10Three years ago, I was so nervous I couldn't even look him in the eye.
00:31:14I still don't know what he looks like.
00:31:17I still don't know what he looks like.
00:31:35Great.
00:31:36Wrong floor.
00:31:38Um, well, the punk, he said that he would be on time, and it's been 30 minutes.
00:31:48Anne, don't worry.
00:31:50I can meet him another time, okay?
00:31:51I've got to go visit Lucy now.
00:31:53Her visiting hours are really strict.
00:31:55Oh.
00:31:57All right, Johnny.
00:31:58You go.
00:32:00Give her my love.
00:32:02I will.
00:32:07Take care of yourself.
00:32:08I'll be back, okay?
00:32:14I'll see you soon.
00:32:20Grandma?
00:32:21You okay?
00:32:23Hey, hey, hey.
00:32:24Are you okay?
00:32:25I'm here.
00:32:27Alex, you're late.
00:32:29Your wife just left.
00:32:31Wife?
00:32:32Wife?
00:32:34Hey.
00:32:35How do you know about that?
00:32:37Don't play dumb with me.
00:32:39You've been away three years.
00:32:41And if your lawyer hadn't told me that you had access to your mother's trust, I'd have no idea that
00:32:48you'd gotten married.
00:32:49I can't tell her about the divorce yet.
00:32:52Not while she's like this.
00:32:56Oh, Alex, you lost your parents when you were so young.
00:33:02And I don't know how much time I have left.
00:33:06Knowing that you have someone to spend your life with means everything to me.
00:33:15And if I could see you with your child, that would be wonderful.
00:33:25You listen here, young lady.
00:33:27You are going to be around for a very, very long time.
00:33:32And I promise I want you to be there when I finally do get married and have kids and build
00:33:39a whole family, all of it.
00:33:41I need you here.
00:33:43No problem.
00:33:44Okay?
00:33:46That's all I needed to hear.
00:33:49Now listen.
00:33:51You rest, okay?
00:33:54I'm going to go outside and just take a quick call.
00:34:08Sam.
00:34:10I set up a meeting with my wife.
00:34:11It's time we discuss the divorce.
00:34:14Come on in, boss.
00:34:24Zoe, you haven't missed a single visiting day in three years.
00:34:28With you here like this, I really believe she'll wake up one day.
00:34:33Thank you, Leah.
00:34:44Hello?
00:34:45Miss Voss, this is Sam, your husband's assistant.
00:34:48He'd like to meet you today to discuss the divorce.
00:34:50Uh, okay.
00:34:52I will be there.
00:34:57Funny.
00:34:58I spend my life helping other people get divorced, and now here I am, dealing with my own marriage.
00:35:03But if it weren't for him, my sister wouldn't even be here.
00:35:06I'll let you loose.
00:35:08I'll be back.
00:35:24Brown coat.
00:35:28Brown coat.
00:35:40So we emergency filing need your signature ASAP you could swing by the office within the hour, okay, I'm on
00:35:46my way
00:35:54No guy in a brown coat maybe he's late whenever I'll hit the office first
00:36:10Yeah, I took my wife through some balls
00:36:18Hello? Boss, your wife just messaged. Something came up. She can't make it. Yeah, something came up, sure
00:36:24I'll tell you what came up, Sam. Nothing. She's using a delay tactic. All right, she's nesting
00:36:30Give me a lawyer
00:36:32Already on it. I'll find the top divorce attorney
00:36:38Actually, wait, forget that, Sam. I got one
00:36:47Mr. Winchester's inside. He asked for you specifically
00:36:49Great. Thank you, Lisa
00:36:56Mr. Winchester, my name is Zoe Bale
00:37:04Oh, it's... you
00:37:07Um, are you here for your coat reimbursement?
00:37:09No, I'm here to hire you as my divorce lawyer
00:37:12Please, Mr. Winchester
00:37:14Alex is fine
00:37:15Wait, your name is Alex?
00:37:18Your name is Alex?
00:37:20Yeah
00:37:22Why?
00:37:23Alex? Same as my husband?
00:37:26Whatever, it's a super common name. It could be anyone
00:37:30Nothing, Alex. Um, let's get started with the basics, okay?
00:37:34Uh, what is the issue with your marriage? Infidelity, reconcilable differences?
00:37:38Uh, no. It's, uh, it's a contract marriage, so it's the one on paper
00:37:43Contract marriage? Just like mine? What are the odds?
00:37:48If it's just a contract marriage, uh, that's pretty simple. What do you need me for?
00:37:52Well, I was supposed to take care of this today with her. I would take care of it myself
00:37:57We were supposed to meet in person, but she bailed
00:38:00So, look, she's only in it for the cash
00:38:01So, clearly she's getting new ideas
00:38:04Divorce Tom? Today? You're so mean? Holy shit!
00:38:11Alex, what's your wife's name?
00:38:13I, um, I actually don't know
00:38:19Okay, look, we met once, three years ago
00:38:24The lawyers took care of our marriage and all the details and I've actually never seen her face
00:38:30Three years ago? That's literally me
00:38:35Look, I'm the CEO of the GS group, okay?
00:38:38Well, she's clearly figured that out by now
00:38:39And she's only in it for the money
00:38:41Which is why she's running and she's getting funny ideas
00:38:43So what I need is I need this done and I need this done clean
00:38:46You're the CEO of GS?
00:38:48Yes
00:38:48The Mr. Billionaire Forbes number one?
00:38:51Mm-hmm
00:38:52I also like that information to be just between us two kids
00:38:56Of course
00:38:57Um, let me just wrap this up real quick
00:39:01Okay, not him
00:39:03Anne told me my husband inherited his grandfather's Carter manufacturing
00:39:06Carter is big in L.A. but it is nowhere near GS level
00:39:10Different guy, totally different
00:39:13Um, I think I'm all good here
00:39:15Uh, I will draft up your petition with everything you've told me
00:39:17And then we will touch base soon
00:39:19Perfect
00:39:20Yeah
00:39:21Thank you
00:39:21Let me lock you out
00:39:26Oh, um
00:39:29Uh, are you married?
00:39:37Uh, I, um, yeah, I am
00:39:43Uh, well
00:39:44You must be a lucky guy
00:39:46Thanks
00:39:46Right
00:39:49So
00:39:49I should go
00:39:50Yeah, yeah
00:39:52Uh, right this way
00:39:53Alright
00:39:56Okay, well I look forward to seeing you again soon
00:39:59You too
00:40:00Take care
00:40:02Watch out
00:40:03Watch out
00:40:04Watch out
00:40:30That fast
00:40:32Uh, well
00:40:33I gotta keep my client in one piece
00:40:35Can't have you getting flattened on my watch
00:40:36Sure
00:40:37If she wasn't married
00:40:43You know what, I'm so sorry, just one moment
00:40:45Jack
00:40:47Alex
00:40:47Alex
00:40:48Sam just told me you're married?
00:40:49You've been holding out on your best friend
00:40:52No Jack, listen, it's not that okay
00:40:53I
00:40:54Save it
00:40:55Tomorrow night, our party, you're coming
00:40:57And you're bringing your wife, no excuses
00:41:01Everything okay?
00:41:03Yeah, no, um
00:41:07You know, actually, I could use a really big favor
00:41:10Uh, huge one
00:41:11Name it
00:41:13So there's a party tomorrow night, and I'm wondering if you would go with me, but as my wife
00:41:20Wait, what?
00:41:21I, listen, I, I know that this is crazy, okay, but my wife and I are getting a divorce, okay,
00:41:26right?
00:41:27And, well, I don't really need the public to know anything just yet, so it would just be one night
00:41:31of, play pretend
00:41:34That's it, I promise
00:41:35What do you think?
00:41:39Sure
00:41:41Thank you
00:41:42I'll see you there
00:41:43Get home safe, please
00:41:54Damn, Alex
00:41:55No wonder you hit her for three years
00:41:58I didn't know your life was so good
00:42:01Okay
00:42:01Okay
00:42:02Hey, I'm paying for the tab tonight, but don't start anything, okay?
00:42:06Oh, so three years ago, we're throwing girls at you, and you don't even look them in the eyes
00:42:10And now you're playing bodyguard for your wife?
00:42:13Throwing girls at you? What does that mean?
00:42:17Yeah, it's not what it sounds like, okay?
00:42:19Hey, I said don't start anything, okay? Or you're gonna be paying the tab
00:42:24I'm kidding
00:42:25Yeah, you're kidding
00:42:26Yeah, you're kidding
00:42:31Okay, he's an asshole
00:42:33Would you like a drink?
00:42:34Yeah, that'd be great, thank you
00:42:35Thank you
00:42:40Hey, Rose
00:42:41Perfect timing
00:42:42Alex's wife is here, come go ahead
00:42:46Hi
00:42:47Hi, I'm Billy, it's nice to meet you
00:42:54So, I hear Alex is back in town to get divorced
00:42:57That means you'll be his ex in, right?
00:42:59Are you planning to cling on for dear life?
00:43:01Hey, it's my personal life
00:43:03Not yours, you stay out of it
00:43:04Watch your mouth
00:43:08Yikes, looks like the real Mrs. Winchester has a rival
00:43:12Good thing they're divorcing soon
00:43:14All right, all right
00:43:16Uh, Alex just got back in town
00:43:19Let's not kill the vibes
00:43:20Come on, Rose, let's play some pool
00:43:23Listen, I am so sorry about them, okay? Ignore them
00:43:26Oh, it's fine
00:43:27Uh, Rose, is she the real reason you needed a fake wife tonight?
00:43:31No, oh god, no, I promise, I've never had a thing with Rose, I promise
00:43:37Well, I'm not your real wife, so you do not owe me an explanation
00:43:43Right
00:43:46Um, I'm gonna run in the restroom
00:43:48I will be back in a second
00:43:50I'll be here
00:43:51Okay
00:44:01Can I help you with something?
00:44:03I've liked Alex since high school
00:44:05Any girl who's tried to get close, I made sure they regretted it
00:44:08So, here's your one warning
00:44:12Divorce him, or we do this the ugly way
00:44:14I'm afraid that's not going to happen
00:44:17Technically, we're not even married
00:44:20Wrong answer, sweetheart
00:44:22Girls!
00:44:24Let go of me!
00:44:26Let's go!
00:44:27Let go of me!
00:44:29Last chance
00:44:31Divorce him, or next time, it's not just champagne
00:44:34You three just committed assault
00:44:36You're about to get sued
00:44:39Sue me?
00:44:40With what?
00:44:41Your little lawyer dreams
00:44:42What the hell are you doing?
00:44:44Of course
00:44:44I got you
00:44:47We were just playing around
00:44:48Don't be so serious
00:44:53Three of you were blacklisted from every GS location, including this club
00:44:56Now get the fuck out of here
00:44:57No, Alex, please
00:44:59If I'm blacklisted by GS, I'm dead in this city
00:45:02Okay, my family, they can't survive that
00:45:04Oh, come on, Alex
00:45:05We didn't know
00:45:06She made us do it!
00:45:09My head hurts
00:45:11Security!
00:45:12Get them out of my sight
00:45:13Alex, please, please don't do this
00:45:15Go!
00:45:17My head hurts
00:45:18Okay, we're gonna get you out of here
00:45:20Alright, we gotta get you out of here
00:45:23Where's your home? Where do you live?
00:45:25She's coming to my place tonight
00:45:27Alright, I got you
00:45:28Hold on to me
00:45:32tanks
00:45:41Shhh
00:45:44jungles
00:45:45Himself
00:45:49Easy
00:45:50She's drunk
00:45:52and she's married
00:45:59You know, Toby, stop moving.
00:46:01Just stay here and sleep with me.
00:46:05Toby?
00:46:06Is that her husband?
00:46:08Yeah.
00:46:26Mr. Winchester, welcome home, sir.
00:46:29Have you seen your grandmother?
00:46:30She's been asking about you since you left three years ago.
00:46:32Yeah, I just spent a few hours with her in the hospital, actually.
00:46:37If that's all, please excuse me.
00:46:41Sir, wait.
00:46:43Never mind.
00:46:45Maybe he already knows.
00:46:49Oh, my God.
00:46:51What the fuck?
00:46:55John!
00:46:56Yes, sir?
00:46:57What the hell happened to my room?
00:46:59You didn't know about this, sir.
00:47:01Madam had this set for your wife.
00:47:02She'd stay here when she'd come to visit.
00:47:04However, now that Madam's been admitted, she hasn't been by.
00:47:07So she slept here?
00:47:08Well, I can't sleep here, then.
00:47:10I'll go make up the guest room right now for you, sir.
00:47:13Can't have him walking in on her.
00:47:14Wait, no, John.
00:47:15I was being brash.
00:47:17Don't worry about it.
00:47:17I can sleep here.
00:47:19It's okay.
00:47:20Sir, I can have the guest room made up in just two minutes.
00:47:22No, no, no.
00:47:23You're very sweet, but this is fine.
00:47:25You deserve some rest.
00:47:27It's okay, really.
00:47:29As you wish, sir.
00:47:30Good night, sir.
00:47:31Bye.
00:47:40Why does this smell like Zoey?
00:47:44I'm losing my damn mind.
00:47:50Why am I in my aunt's house?
00:47:53Why am I in the guest room?
00:47:56Right.
00:47:58I am trash.
00:47:59I am trash.
00:47:59Oh.
00:48:01Whoa.
00:48:06Hey, Zoey.
00:48:07Good boy.
00:48:09Okay, let's go.
00:48:09Come on.
00:48:11Come on.
00:48:11Let's go.
00:48:14Come on.
00:48:15Get in the bed, Bubba.
00:48:17Get in the bed.
00:48:18Okay.
00:48:19When I was one-
00:48:31Excuse my wife.
00:48:35Blue off.
00:48:38We will be right back.
00:48:41We will be in the bed.
00:48:42Where are we?
00:48:44Come on.
00:48:47Bye.
00:48:48Whatever else.
00:49:06Cariño, las sirenas no viven en tierra. ¡Te quemarás viva!
00:49:15¡Las dos somos princesas! ¿Por qué el ara puede casarse con el hijo del dios del mar mientras a mí
00:49:21me arrojan? ¿Al abismo para alimentar al rey sireno? ¿Sólo porque ella es de sangre pura? ¡Al diablo con eso!
00:49:32¡Mi pobre niña! ¡Es un pacto de sangre! Cada siglo, una princesa sirena debe ser sacrificada al abismo. Si lo
00:49:39rompemos, los sirenos desatarán un maremoto y borrarán todo nuestro reino del mapa.
00:49:44¡Mi amor! ¡Dicen que el rey sireno es un monstruo! ¡De mora viva a nuestra gente! ¡Enviar a mi bebé
00:49:50allá es condenarla a muerte!
00:49:54¡No! ¿Por qué no puede ir el ara en mi lugar?
00:49:58El ara es de sangre pura. Tiene que casarse con Arthur. Es la única forma de mantener la sangre del
00:50:04dios del mar y su protección sobre el reino.
00:50:07¡Pues ella es de sangre pura y yo tengo que morir! ¡Prefiero quemarme ya en esta roca a que un
00:50:13monstruo me demore viva!
00:50:19¡No, Serafina, mi bebé!
00:50:20¡No! ¡Regresa aquí!
00:50:22Yo lo haré.
00:50:31¿Qué? ¿Qué acabas de decir?
00:50:34Me casaré con el rey sireno. Tú cásate con Arthur. Puedes ser la esposa del futuro dios del mar.
00:50:47El ara, ¿hablas en serio? ¿Tomarías el lugar de Serafina en el abismo?
00:50:54El ara, Arthur te ama. ¿De verdad renuncias a casarte con él?
00:51:05El cuerpo de mi madre apenas se había enfriado cuando mi padre metió en casa a su amante y a
00:51:10su hija bastarda.
00:51:10Y justo entonces, Arthur apareció como un salvador. Y me hizo una promesa.
00:51:19¡Mamá!
00:51:25No llores. Desde ahora yo te cuidaré.
00:51:30Todos dicen que Arthur me ama de verdad. Que soy su tesoro más preciado.
00:51:35El ara voy a casarme contigo. Te protegeré toda la vida. Jamás dejaré que nadie te lastime.
00:51:46Pero solo yo sabía la verdad. Toda esa ternura, todas esas promesas, no eran más que una trampa muy bien
00:51:53tejida.
00:51:58El príncipe Arthur será el futuro dios del mar. Ustedes dos se aman con locura.
00:52:03Te pidió matrimonio ante todo el océano. ¿Estás segura de no arrepentirte de cambiar de lugar con tu hermana?
00:52:09No me arrepentiré. Pero para que esta boda salga bien, el cambio debe quedar solo entre nosotros. Ni una palabra
00:52:16a nadie.
00:52:17Sí, sí, claro. Lo que tú digas. Mientras ocupes el lugar de Serafina, lo que quieras.
00:52:29Tú lo sabes tan bien como yo, hechicero.
00:52:33A quien siempre he amado es a Serafina. A la dulce e inocente Serafina.
00:52:38Si ella no hubiera arriesgado su vida para sacarme de aquel campo de batalla, yo ya estaría muerto.
00:52:45Pero el linaje de la señorita Serafina es impuro.
00:52:48Exacto. No puedo casarme con una mestiza.
00:52:52Ponerle una corona a la fuerza solo la pondría en la mira de los nobles.
00:52:56No dejaré que nadie la lastime. Por eso necesito a Elara. Es el espíritu humano perfecto.
00:53:01Solo ella puede cargar con los rumores venenosos y las dagas destinadas a Serafina.
00:53:06¿Pero y el sacrificio del abismo?
00:53:08Fijaré mi boda con Elara para ese mismo día. Haré que mis hombres saquen a Serafina.
00:53:14Cuando el trono sea mío, le daré el lugar que merece ante todos.
00:53:17Fue entonces cuando por fin entendí. El hombre que juró protegerme tejió la trampa más en mi uso.
00:53:24Solo esperaba que yo cayera en ella para apretar el lazo.
00:53:42Elara, la corona prisma. El símbolo supremo de nuestra reina.
00:53:50Hermosa. Igual que tú, decidí fijar nuestra boda para el día del sacrificio del abismo.
00:53:56Quiero que la uses al caminar al altar.
00:53:59Quiero que todo el océano sepa que tú eres la única novia que siempre quise.
00:54:08Gracias, Su Alteza. Claro que la usaré en la boda.
00:54:16Descansa, mi hermosa novia.
00:54:18No seré el escudo de Serafina, Arthur, el día de la boda.
00:54:22Yo misma pondré esta corona sobre la cabeza de tu verdadero amor y la llevaré directo a tu cama.
00:54:44¡Su Alteza!
00:54:52Su Alteza, ¿qué está haciendo?
00:54:54Esa es la perla prisma.
00:54:56El príncipe Arthur se enfrentó a Leviatanes para recuperarla y entregársela a usted.
00:55:06Y ese colgante de coral. Recuerdo que lo talló a mano tres días sin descanso.
00:55:11Sus dedos se ampullaron y sangraron para que fuera perfecto.
00:55:18Su Alteza, estas son pruebas de su amor. Antes los protegía con su vida. ¿Cómo puede quemarlos así?
00:55:25Yo también creía que eran pruebas de amor. Pero ahora, ya no los necesito.
00:55:40¿Por qué se obliga a destruirlos?
00:55:43Una vez lo amé con todo mi ser. Las cenizas de nuestro pasado, sí.
00:55:49Duelen.
00:55:51Pero tengo que arrancar lo podrido para renacer.
00:55:55Mira. Pronto partiré al abismo para casarme con el rey sireno.
00:55:59Aliste mis pertenencias.
00:56:03Como orden es, Su Alteza.
00:56:04Y una cosa más. Prepara un regalo de bodas. Algo extraordinariamente valioso.
00:56:09¿Para la boda del príncipe Arthur?
00:56:11No. Es para mi futuro esposo.
00:56:38Su Alteza.
00:56:39¿Está bien?
00:56:42No es nada. Solo fue un dolor repentino en el pecho.
00:56:51Necesito ver a Elara.
00:56:55Dice que la señorita Serafina es la única.
00:56:58Pero si algo le pasa a la princesa Elara, pierde la cabeza.
00:57:02Ni siquiera se da cuenta.
00:57:17Mi amor, ¿qué pasa? ¿Quién te hizo llorar? Dímelo y lo haré pedazos.
00:57:22¿Y si fuiste tú?
00:57:29Entonces me arrancaré el corazón como castigo.
00:57:33Te doy mi palabra.
00:57:39¡Actor!
00:57:42¡Ayúdame!
00:57:43Me duele el corazón otra vez.
00:58:02Estoy aquí, Serafina. Estoy aquí.
00:58:06¡Ayúdame!
00:58:22Mi destinada.
00:58:24You know that.
00:58:37Arthur, este vestido es impresionante.
00:58:40Seda tejida con perlas.
00:58:41Miles de perlas abisales.
00:58:45Arthur, imagínate lo radiante que me vería usándolo en el desfile previo al sacrificio.
00:58:49Claro. Es tuyo, Serafina.
00:58:52Eso no va a pasar.
00:58:58Yo misma cosí este vestido de perlas.
00:59:02Cada hilo, nadie lo usará excepto yo.
00:59:04Elara, ¿no puedes dejar que tu hermana se quede con este?
00:59:07Ahí tienes un vestido dorado perfectamente digno.
00:59:11Está tejido con oro abisal de mil años.
00:59:14Bordado con polvo de estrellas.
00:59:16Es increíblemente raro.
00:59:17De confección impecable.
00:59:19Es elegante y masestuoso.
00:59:20No es poca cosa para una futura reina.
00:59:22Arthur, no puedo usar oro abisal.
00:59:26Solo puedo usar el vestido de perlas.
00:59:29¿Por qué tienes que pelear con Serafina por todo?
00:59:31Eres la princesa.
00:59:33Eres su hermana mayor.
00:59:34¿No puedes mostrar un poco de elegancia?
00:59:42Lo siento mucho, Elara.
00:59:45No sabía que eras alérgica al oro abisal.
00:59:47No pasa nada.
00:59:48Te juro que jamás dejaré que esto vuelva a tocar tu piel.
00:59:52Jamás dejaré que sufras.
00:59:57¿Ya olvidaste tus propias promesas, Arthur?
01:00:05Lo siento, Elara.
01:00:07Con la boda y el sacrificio, simplemente se me olvidó.
01:00:13Hermana, la boda es en cinco días.
01:00:16No hay tiempo para hacer otro vestido.
01:00:20¿Podrías soportarlo solo un rato?
01:00:21¿Tú también quieres eso, que yo me lo ponga?
01:00:27Elara quiere mi vestido de perlas.
01:00:29No quiero ponerte en una situación difícil.
01:00:31Deja que ella lo use.
01:00:33Elara no puede soportarlo.
01:00:35Es solo por un día.
01:00:37Bien.
01:00:38Lo usaré.
01:00:42Vámonos.
01:00:52Ven conmigo, Serafina.
01:00:53Si el vestido no te queda, haré que los astres lo ajusten.
01:01:05Artur, nunca te importé.
01:01:07Para ti siempre fue Serafina.
01:01:09¿Y yo?
01:01:10No soy más que un escudo conveniente.
01:01:17Faltan cuatro días para la boda.
01:01:19La tradición exige un gran desfile de bendiciones antes del sacrificio del abismo.
01:01:26Una farsa de paz y prosperidad para nuestro reino.
01:01:29Artur, me siento...
01:01:32tan mareada.
01:01:33Serafina, ¿estás bien?
01:01:34¿Te está cansando tanto el desfile?
01:01:36Estoy aquí.
01:01:37Apóyate en mí.
01:01:38Pronto terminará todo.
01:01:41Ya sabía que su amor nunca fue para mí.
01:01:43Entonces, ¿por qué...
01:01:45¿por qué todavía duele?
01:01:58Protéjala, Su Alteza.
01:02:00¡Maten a los traidores!
01:02:09¡Arthur, vete al infierno!
01:02:13¡Arthur, sálvame!
01:02:30¿Por qué se me parte el pecho solo por ver sangre?
01:02:32Serafina es la única que me importa.
01:02:36¡Arthur, la sangre!
01:02:37¡Hay tanta sangre!
01:02:38¡Tengo mucho miedo!
01:02:39No mires, estoy contigo.
01:02:41No dejaré que te pase nada.
01:02:43Estás a salvo.
01:02:44Es de sangre pura, Elhara.
01:02:45Tienes poder de sanación divina.
01:02:47Una herida así se cerrará enseguida.
01:02:49Serafina no tiene tus dones.
01:02:50Ella me necesitaba más.
01:02:54¿Poder de sanación divina?
01:02:55¡Arthur!
01:02:56¿En serio no lo sabes?
01:02:58Hace tres años para salvarte la vida.
01:03:01Me arranqué la escama del corazón
01:03:03y perdí mi núcleo sireno.
01:03:05Ya no tengo ningún don divino.
01:03:07No hay otra forma.
01:03:08Tengo que usar mi escama del corazón.
01:03:29¡Hazstur!
01:03:29¡Aazstur, abre unos ojos!
01:03:32Ya no puedo sanar. El veneno de esa hoja basta para matarme.
01:03:42¿Por qué? ¿Por qué me duele tanto ver morir a Elara? Ella solo es un escudo. ¿Será Elara?
01:03:55¡No! ¿Dónde está tu poder divino? ¿Por qué no se cierra la herida? ¡No puedes morirte en mis brazos!
01:04:01¡Sana! ¡Maldita sea! ¡Sana!
01:04:04Arthur, mi vida a cambio de la suya. ¿No era eso lo que querías?
01:04:09¡No!
01:04:22Dejemos algo claro. El corazón de Arthur me pertenece. No creas ni por un segundo que hacerte la mártir ayer
01:04:28te va a ganar su compasión.
01:04:31Solo dice la verdad.
01:04:33¿Con qué ojos me miras? ¿Te estás burlando de mí?
01:04:39¿No me crees? ¡Te lo voy a demostrar ahora mismo!
01:04:55¡No, hermana! ¡Por favor, basta! ¿Qué demonios estás haciendo?
01:05:02¡Elara, ¿qué hiciste!
01:05:05Yo solo, solo quería revisarle las heridas por ti. Pero Elara dijo, dijo que mi sangre era demasiado sucia para
01:05:13tocarla.
01:05:16Todo es mi culpa. Si no fuera por mí, ella nunca habría salido herida.
01:05:24¡Elara! Puede que seas de sangre pura, pero Serafina sigue siendo tu familia. Recibiste una herida menor, y por eso
01:05:30mutilas a tu propia hermana, comportándote como un monstruo. ¿Cómo podrías ser digna de ser mi esposa?
01:05:36No importa lo que diga, Arthur. De todos modos, no vas a creer ni una sola palabra, ¿verdad?
01:05:46Primero, yo no tengo hermana. Y segundo, si vas a llamarme monstruo, entonces actuaré como uno.
01:05:57¡Quítale las manos de encima!
01:06:05Vas a pagar por esto, Elara.
01:06:12¿Será porque todavía te amo, Arthur? ¿Por eso duele tanto?
01:06:18Si logro arrancarte de mi corazón, tal vez por fin te quede sangrar.
01:06:30Faltan dos días para la boda.
01:06:33Esta pesadilla por fin está por terminar.
01:07:03¿Dónde estoy? ¿Me secuestraron?
01:07:10Dicen que has estado haciendo berrinches desesperada por llamar la atención.
01:07:16Lastimaste a la señorita Serafina.
01:07:18La dejaste aterrada.
01:07:24¿Tú eres?
01:07:33No importa quién soy.
01:07:39Ponte esto.
01:07:41Te protegerá siempre.
01:07:44Te lo juro, jamás te fallaré.
01:07:45Y por siempre.
01:07:52Ailara, te lo juro, jamás te fallaré.
01:08:01¿Llegaste a tanto para torturarme?
01:08:03¿Por Serafina?
01:08:06Tómalo como una lección.
01:08:08De su parte.
01:08:23¿Por qué me duele verla así?
01:08:25No.
01:08:26Ella lastimó a Serafina primero.
01:08:42Perdón por bajar la guardia y dejar que esas ratas del abismo lograran atraparte, pero te lo merecías por lo
01:08:48que le hiciste a Serafina.
01:08:49¿Te quedó claro?
01:08:50Muy claro.
01:08:52Sí.
01:08:58Su alteza, sus pertenencias y el regalo que pidió.
01:09:07¿Qué demonios estás haciendo?
01:09:11Él no puede ver esto.
01:09:12Es para el rey sireno.
01:09:14¿Un regalo de bodas para mí?
01:09:16Déjame adivinar.
01:09:18¿No puedo verlo hasta el gran día?
01:09:20Claro.
01:09:21Preparé un regalo.
01:09:22Uno que jamás olvidarás.
01:09:23Bien.
01:09:24Lo estaré esperando.
01:09:25Más te vale que sea tan inolvidable como prometes.
01:09:32Hace mucho que no lo veía sonreír así, su alteza.
01:09:35Debe estar muy emocionado por casarse con la princesa Elara.
01:09:39Tonterías.
01:09:40Casarme con Elara es solo política.
01:09:42Es la única forma de apaciguar a los dioses y su obsesión con la sangre pura.
01:09:46Darle la corona es un medio para mi objetivo.
01:09:49Es la única forma legítima de proteger a Serafina, mi verdadero amor.
01:09:56Sus ojos pueden mentir su alteza, pero aquí el corazón nunca miente.
01:10:01¡Basta!
01:10:02¡Serafina es la única a quien amo!
01:10:12Elara, este es el vestido de novia que enviaron los sirenos.
01:10:15Póntelo ahora.
01:10:16El carruaje real del príncipe Arthur llegará a las puertas en cualquier momento.
01:10:20Ni se te ocurra arrepentirte.
01:10:23Tomar el lugar de tu hermana en el abismo deberías considerarlo un honor.
01:10:30Les di mi palabra.
01:10:32No voy a echarme atrás.
01:10:35Entonces, hermana, ¿cómo te sientes al saber que estás a punto de casarte con un monstruo de verdad?
01:10:41Dicen que está horriblemente deformado.
01:10:44Ha tenido más de 800 novias y a todas, una por una, las hizo pedazos.
01:10:51Dí una palabra más y no me pondré este vestido.
01:11:12Su alteza, la emboscada en la fosa bisal está lista.
01:11:15En cuanto el barco de huesos de la señorita Serafina llegue al paso estrecho, nuestros hombres la sacarán.
01:11:27Aunque el rey sireno venga en persona, no se llevará a la mujer que amo.
01:11:40Me alegra que por fin sepas cuál es tu lugar.
01:11:42Cuando Arthur descubra que soy yo bajo el velo, se va a emocionar muchísimo.
01:11:49Ah, seguro estará encantado.
01:11:54El rey sireno está ocupado.
01:11:57Venimos por su novia.
01:12:15Porque siento presión en el pecho.
01:12:17Como si estuviera a punto de perder lo único que de verdad importa.
01:12:22¡Alto!
01:12:27¿Yo sabe?
01:12:30Aguanta un poco más, Serafina.
01:12:31Cuando empiece el caos, salta al barco de rescate.
01:12:34Te lo prometo.
01:12:35Jamás dejaré que ese monstruo te tenga.
01:12:38Así que por eso estabas tan dispuesto a enviar a Serafina al abismo.
01:12:42Tenías un plan de rescate al principio.
01:12:44¿No?
01:13:03Menos mal que Lara aceptó el cambio.
01:13:05A Serafina la habrían hecho pedazos allá abajo.
01:13:15El ara, desde hoy eres mi esposa.
01:13:18Haz tu papel.
01:13:19Sé una princesa buena y obediente.
01:13:21Y quizá...
01:13:22¡Arthur!
01:13:24¡Soy yo!
01:13:25¡Sorpresa!
01:13:27¿Serafina?
01:13:28¿Eres tú?
01:13:33¿Qué?
01:13:44El ara, mi regalo de bodas.
01:13:46¿Te gusta?
01:13:50¡El ara!
01:13:51¡El ara!
01:13:53¡Sualtiza!
01:13:53¡Arta!
01:14:01¡El ara!
01:14:02¡El ara!
