quiet post on The Mermaid's Tear, and the whole house schedule is on the floor.
There is a strip of light under the back room door. It is in frame constantly — behind arguments, behind meals, behind people walking past without looking.
Early on the light is on late. He is awake after everyone, doing whatever needs doing. Later it goes out earlier than the rest of the house, which is how you know he has stopped waiting for anything.
Then there is the night it stays on. All night. Nobody in that family notices, and the show does not explain it.
That strip of light is the only clock in the series, and it is on the floor the entire time.
✨ What worked for me:
- The corridor is the same three metres in every shot
- Nobody ever turns that light on or off on camera
✨ Bottom line: some people's whole state of mind is visible in a two-inch gap.

Short filmTranscript
00:00:09Useless! All of you! I don't care what kind of pirates they are. My son, August, is stranded
00:00:15on that yacht right now. Send the Navy, the Coast Guard, whoever the hell you need, just get my son
00:00:20back! We can't, Director Thorne. It's the Black Tide, the most notorious pirate kring on these
00:00:25waters. They're ruthless. Even naval patrols won't go near them. And with that storm coming in,
00:00:30there's no way we can get August out. No. God, he's my only son. Somebody please save him!
00:00:55Who the hell are you? Hey, who let her in? Who I am isn't important. But it seems like
00:01:00your son has a little run-in with the Black Tide pirates. I can help you get your son back.
00:01:09You? You look like a housewife. How could you possibly get my son back from the most notorious
00:01:18pirates? Security! Get her out of here! Give me 30 minutes. Your son will be back in
00:01:26one piece. You have nothing to lose. Besides, pirates happen to be my specialty.
00:01:54father, I'm going on land. I want to be where the humans are.
00:02:01Absolutely not! Humans are vile and disgusting creatures. They lie, they cheat, they destroy
00:02:07everything they touch. I refuse to believe humans are all bad. Don't you remember when I was young,
00:02:12a human saved my life? Yes. And in return, you protected him at sea. You led him to the
00:02:18sunken treasures, you cleared the storms, and you even defended him against pirates.
00:02:25Now he's a billionaire, and his ships sail our waters unscathed. See? Humans always want
00:02:32something in return. You're wrong, father. I've seen the goodness in humans. All my life I've been
00:02:38here. There's a whole world out there waiting for me. I want to see it with my own eyes.
00:02:42Sorry, father, but my mind is broken. If you leave today, then don't ever bother coming back.
00:02:50Then I'll forge my own path, and walk my own road. Goodbye, father. I'm sorry.
00:02:58Freya! Come back!
00:03:04When I was a child, I got caught in a fisherman's net. I thought I was going to die,
00:03:10but he saved my life.
00:03:22I can't believe this. A mermaid.
00:03:25Please don't hurt me.
00:03:47Hurry. Go before the other men come on deck.
00:03:49Did you catch something big? Just some crabs. Nothing major.
00:03:53Sure.
00:04:38Thank you for saving me kind human. In return, I shall protect you at sea. As long as you're on
00:04:44these waters, good fortune will follow you. If you need to speak with me, drop a pearl into the sea.
00:04:50I'll come find you.
00:05:00I'll come find you.
00:05:28Grandpa, you're going to get better. The best doctors in the world are here.
00:05:31It's okay. We all have to face death someday. The only choice we get is how we meet it.
00:05:37You can't just give up. I've already lost mom and dad. I can't lose you too.
00:05:41Your parents died at sea when you were an infant. You grew up by my side and I know you
00:05:46better than anyone.
00:05:48That's why I worry.
00:05:50Worry about what, Grandpa?
00:05:52Worry that after I die, my brothers and your uncles will come after the family fortune.
00:05:57We've grown too powerful and hearts have turned greedy.
00:06:00You're not ready to face them alone. You need a good wife by your side to help you.
00:06:06A wife? I don't need a woman to help me. I can handle things on my own.
00:06:11Go rest. Grandpa has some things to take care of.
00:06:15All right. I'll see you in the morning, Grandfather.
00:06:30Send everyone back to their rooms and close the curtains.
00:06:34Whatever happens, no one comes on deck.
00:06:36Yes, sir.
00:06:49Everything I have is thanks to her.
00:07:31Henry, good to see you again. How are you feeling?
00:07:36Oh, you know, the usual.
00:07:39Doctor says a few more months at best.
00:07:44Frius, have you given my proposal any thought?
00:07:46Yes.
00:07:48I already spoke with my father.
00:07:50And while he did not give me his support, I've decided to do it anyways.
00:07:55Henry, I'll marry your grandson.
00:07:57And in return, you help me grow legs.
00:08:08Then we have a deal.
00:08:09I'll give you what you need to become human.
00:08:11And in return, you marry my grandson for three years.
00:08:16And then in three years' time, I shall be free.
00:08:19Thank you, Henry.
00:08:21No, Freya.
00:08:24Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:08:27The sea is unforgiving, but you've protected my family all these years.
00:08:31I feel ashamed to even ask for more, but Anderson is my only grandson.
00:08:38Please help me take care of him.
00:08:40I will, Henry.
00:08:42I promise.
00:09:03Anderson, according to your grandfather's will, you must marry the woman of his choosing.
00:09:07If you wish to inherit Lockwood Enterprises and the entire estate.
00:09:12Marriage.
00:09:14Grandpa was serious about that?
00:09:19He really wants me to marry a stranger?
00:09:47Hello, Anderson.
00:09:49I'm Freya.
00:09:55Anderson, you lucky dog.
00:09:56I swear, I've never seen a woman this beautiful in my life.
00:09:59She's smoking hot.
00:10:06She's obviously just a gold digger.
00:10:07I've seen plenty.
00:10:10I'm not going to marry her.
00:10:13I'm sorry, Anderson, but if you refuse to marry Miss Freya, then according to the will,
00:10:16your grandfather's entire estate will pass to his brothers and your uncles.
00:10:20He's a fucking man, child.
00:10:22He'll run Lockwood into the ground.
00:10:23Henry should have left the estate to us.
00:10:29Anderson, you can't let your grandfather's shipping empire fall into the hands of those old vultures.
00:10:34Just marry her first, secure the inheritance, and figure out the rest later.
00:10:40Damn it.
00:10:41Fine.
00:10:42I'll marry her.
00:10:47Don't think you've won.
00:10:49To me, you're nothing but a greedy, shameless little gold digger who somehow manipulated my grandfather into giving you what
00:10:54you wanted.
00:10:54That's not true.
00:10:56I'm marrying you because I made a promise to your grandfather to help you and support you.
00:11:03You?
00:11:03Help me?
00:11:04I know all about women like you.
00:11:06All you do is go shopping, drink matcha, and do Pilates.
00:11:08You haven't worked a day in your life.
00:11:10How could you possibly help me?
00:11:13What's Pilates and matcha?
00:11:17Look, just stay out of my way, okay?
00:11:19This is a contract marriage.
00:11:20You're not my real wife.
00:11:22And I will never love you.
00:11:28Humans really are weird.
00:12:08Seriously?
00:12:10Charles denied my ships from passing the strait again?
00:12:12Fuck!
00:12:20Anderson, you've been working for over 12 hours straight.
00:12:23I made your favorite dessert.
00:12:25Come try some.
00:12:26Get that shit off my desk.
00:12:28I need Director Charles' approval for my ships to pass, not some damn pie.
00:12:33Get out.
00:12:38But you haven't eaten in hours.
00:12:39I said I don't want it.
00:12:49Ow!
00:12:51You're so clumsy.
00:12:52Let me see that.
00:12:54I'm all right.
00:12:59Why do you keep doing this?
00:13:01No matter how badly I treat you, you just keep coming back.
00:13:04You think putting up with all my shit is going to make me fall for you?
00:13:06Why won't you just leave already?
00:13:08You're right.
00:13:09No matter how you treated me in the last few years, I stayed.
00:13:12But Anderson, can you just put up with me for a little longer?
00:13:15A few more days.
00:13:16That's all I need.
00:13:18What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:13:19Go put some ice on that hand.
00:13:20I don't have time to cuddle a needy wife.
00:13:22I have work to do.
00:13:28Just five more days, Anderson.
00:13:30Then we'll both be free.
00:13:43Three years.
00:13:44I gave you my best.
00:13:46I even fell in love with you.
00:13:47But all my love still wasn't enough to thaw your heart.
00:13:54Anderson!
00:13:55We need that exclusive West Coast route.
00:13:57Approved in two days.
00:13:58Our new sermon conductor shipment is already locked into that corridor.
00:14:01If we miss the window and breach the contract,
00:14:03the penalties alone could cripple the company.
00:14:06You think I don't know that?
00:14:08I've been trying to get a meeting with Director Charles for months.
00:14:10He simply refuses.
00:14:15Anderson needs my help.
00:14:17All right, Lev.
00:14:17This will be the last thing I do for you.
00:14:45All right, Lev.
00:14:46I don't care what kind of pirates they are.
00:14:48My son, August, is stranded on that yacht right now.
00:14:51Send the Navy, the Coast Guard, whoever the hell you need.
00:14:54Just get my son back!
00:14:55We can't, Director Thorne.
00:14:57It's the Black Tide, the most notorious pirate kring on these waters.
00:15:00They're ruthless.
00:15:01Even naval patrols won't go near them.
00:15:03And with that storm coming in, there's no way we can get August out.
00:15:09No, God.
00:15:10He's my only son.
00:15:12Somebody please save him!
00:15:29Who the hell are you?
00:15:30Hey, who let her in?
00:15:32Who I am isn't important.
00:15:34But it seems like your son has a little run-in with the Black Tide Pirates.
00:15:40I can help you get your son back.
00:15:43You?
00:15:48You look like a housewife.
00:15:50How could you possibly get my son back from the most notorious pirates?
00:15:53Security!
00:15:55Get her out of here!
00:15:59Give me 30 minutes.
00:16:00Your son will be back in one piece.
00:16:02You have nothing to lose.
00:16:04Besides, pirates happen to be my specialty.
00:16:16Three minutes left.
00:16:18I swear to God, if you're fucking with me, I'll personally ban your husband's ships from these waters for life!
00:16:23Fine, but that won't happen.
00:16:24Remember our deal.
00:16:25I help you get your son back.
00:16:27You get my husband's papers.
00:16:30Sir, the storm is raging on.
00:16:32No boat can dock in this weather.
00:16:33You hear that?
00:16:34You're lying to me, aren't you?
00:16:35My son isn't coming!
00:16:47I don'tZ.
00:16:48Oh my dear!
00:16:50Shhh!
00:16:51Look.
00:17:16August?
00:17:17August!
00:17:18I see my son!
00:17:22Right on time.
00:17:31August!
00:17:32I can't believe this.
00:17:33You're actually back.
00:17:34Are you okay?
00:17:35Are you hurt?
00:17:36Dad, I'm okay.
00:17:39You got lucky this time.
00:17:42What do you want?
00:17:51I can't believe this.
00:17:58Oh, no.
00:18:00Lady Freya.
00:18:01Sorry for the trouble.
00:18:02I didn't know these were your friends.
00:18:04How many times do I have to tell you, Jack?
00:18:06Stop kidnapping people.
00:18:09Sorry.
00:18:10Won't happen again.
00:18:12Who is she?
00:18:13She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
00:18:16Who are you, exactly?
00:18:20Someone you should never mess with.
00:18:23Lady Freya, may I give you a ride home?
00:18:25You may, Jack.
00:18:29Remember our deal, Director Charles.
00:18:31My husband's papers.
00:18:49Anderson has got himself one incredible wife.
00:18:52Go ahead and approve his papers.
00:18:54Now.
00:18:55Yes, Director.
00:19:03Oh, God.
00:19:06Anderson, I have good news.
00:19:08I took care of it.
00:19:16Oh, God.
00:19:24Three years of marriage, and nothing to show for it.
00:19:27He's never touched me once like a real husband.
00:19:31He'd rather jerk himself off than to touch me.
00:19:36Tomorrow is the gala.
00:19:38Only four days left to go.
00:19:44Anderson.
00:19:45Congrats, cousin.
00:19:47Gotta say, never thought you'd run the family empire this well.
00:19:50Your ships always get calm seas, and even pirates seem to avoid them.
00:19:54Come on.
00:19:55What's your secret?
00:19:56Did you get a mermaid's blessing?
00:19:58Appreciate it.
00:19:59And no mermaids, no blessings.
00:20:01Just hard work and good fortune.
00:20:03Speaking of which, Anderson, where's that mysterious wife of yours?
00:20:06Why isn't she here?
00:20:08What was your grandfather thinking, forcing you to marry that woman?
00:20:11None of your business, Carter.
00:20:13Come on, everyone knows.
00:20:15The most eligible bachelor in the city.
00:20:17Married off in his prime to some nobody who's only after his money?
00:20:20It's a tragedy.
00:20:22Enough!
00:20:23Freya is my wife.
00:20:24She's the lady of the Lockwood house.
00:20:27Besides, this was my grandfather's decision.
00:20:29It's not your place to judge.
00:20:32All right, Carter, that's enough.
00:20:34Tonight's supposed to be a celebration.
00:20:36Fine.
00:20:36But I've got some exciting news for you.
00:20:39Remember Chloe?
00:20:40The girl every guy in school wanted?
00:20:42The hottest cheerleader on campus?
00:20:43Well, she's finally back from Paris.
00:20:46You two almost got engaged back then.
00:20:48If she hadn't gone abroad, she'd be on your arm tonight instead of that gold digger you've got sitting at
00:20:52home.
00:20:55Anderson! Darling! It's been forever!
00:21:07Chloe?
00:21:18How do I look, Anderson?
00:21:20Even better than you remember?
00:21:22Chloe, what are you doing here?
00:21:25I invited her!
00:21:27You two were the power couple.
00:21:28And look at you now.
00:21:29You've built an empire and Chloe's a world-class skier.
00:21:32Now she's finally back.
00:21:33Don't tell me you're not happy to see her.
00:21:35Well, are you?
00:21:37Of course I am.
00:21:39But...
00:21:56That must be Anderson's wife.
00:21:58She's gorgeous.
00:21:59Heard his grandpa forced him to marry her.
00:22:01So what if she's pretty?
00:22:03I heard she's a good-for-nothing housewife who's just after his money.
00:22:06Freya!
00:22:06Anderson!
00:22:07It's been so long.
00:22:09I miss you.
00:22:10Can we dance?
00:22:16You two should totally dance.
00:22:21Hey Anderson, I got you a gift for the 25th anniversary of Lockwood Enterprise.
00:22:29Ouch!
00:22:30Chloe, are you okay?
00:22:34I think I twisted my ankle.
00:22:40Okay, let me take you to the hospital.
00:22:44Wait, Anderson!
00:22:47What?
00:22:48Can't someone else take her?
00:22:50You're my husband, I think.
00:22:53Jesus, Freya.
00:22:54Can you stop pestering me about such unimportant things?
00:22:57Chloe is hurt.
00:23:08So this is the woman he loves.
00:23:10Don't worry, Anderson.
00:23:11In three days you'll be free.
00:23:15What?
00:23:23What?
00:23:23Damn it!
00:23:24If the West Coast route doesn't get approved this week, the penalties are going to bury us.
00:23:27Anderson, we can't keep going like this.
00:23:29I know.
00:23:30Director Charles won't budge.
00:23:31Not for money, not for pressure.
00:23:32I went to see him myself.
00:23:33He wouldn't even take the meeting.
00:23:36Anderson, if Charles is a dead end, maybe you could ask Chloe for help.
00:23:40She's in the same surf club with August Thone, Charles' son.
00:23:44Maybe she can put in a word for us.
00:23:48You don't need to worry about the West Coast route anymore.
00:23:51I've already taken care of it.
00:23:52The approval document should arrive soon.
00:23:56Don't be ridiculous, Freya.
00:23:57Do you have any idea how hard that approval is to get?
00:24:00Even Anderson can't get a meeting with Director Charles.
00:24:02How could you have possibly taken care of it?
00:24:07Freya, you're just an ordinary housewife with no power or connections.
00:24:11Could you please stop making things worse?
00:24:13I'm not joking.
00:24:15Director Charles already agreed to-
00:24:19Enough!
00:24:20You think business is some kind of game?
00:24:22Go shop.
00:24:22Do your nails.
00:24:23Whatever the hell it is you waste your time on.
00:24:24Just stop trying to get my attention by sticking your nose into my business!
00:24:29That's not what I'm doing.
00:24:33And what about last night's gala?
00:24:35I don't care how jealous you are of Chloe.
00:24:37You should have known better than to act like that in public.
00:24:41You're Mrs. Lockwood.
00:24:42You should know how to carry yourself.
00:24:44And now you're acting like you can solve something as important as this route?
00:24:47I expected better from you, Freya.
00:24:51Anderson.
00:24:52Is that how you see me?
00:24:53Just a lying, jealous, good-for-nothing housewife?
00:25:02Hey, Chloe.
00:25:04You're here already?
00:25:05Good.
00:25:05Come straight up.
00:25:08Chloe's here.
00:25:09Get out, now.
00:25:10I have to discuss work with her.
00:25:13Freya, you know how important this route is to us.
00:25:16It's not something a housewife can fix.
00:25:17Just let it go.
00:25:23Believe me or don't, what I told you is true.
00:25:37You may have been Mrs. Lockwood for the last three years, but I'm still the one he wants.
00:25:41Take the hint and get out of his life before you embarrass yourself even more.
00:25:49Anderson.
00:25:50I brought you dessert from that patisserie you love.
00:25:58Anderson, I brought you dessert from that patisserie you love.
00:26:14Anderson for good.
00:26:25Anderson.
00:26:26Work always gives you headaches, and you never sleep well.
00:26:29I've woven my power into your pajamas.
00:26:32When I'm gone, I hope they'll help you sleep peacefully every night.
00:26:42Anderson, you seem upset tonight.
00:26:45Is it because of that boring little wife of yours?
00:26:48Why are you bringing her up?
00:26:49Anderson, why can't you choose me again?
00:26:51I'm back now.
00:26:51I know you still love me.
00:26:53I still love you too.
00:26:54Divorce her.
00:26:55Kick her out of the Lockwood family.
00:26:58And then we can finally have the life we were meant to have.
00:27:10That's enough, Chloe.
00:27:12Anderson?
00:27:13Do you really not have feelings for me anymore?
00:27:18Whether I love her or not, she's still my wife.
00:27:19Chloe, what we're doing isn't right.
00:27:22I'm going home.
00:27:30You're home.
00:27:31I made you some soup to calm your stomach and I already laid out your pajamas.
00:27:34You can change into them after your shower.
00:27:36I don't want it.
00:27:36I'm heading to bed.
00:27:37Don't bother me.
00:27:41Let me take your coat then.
00:27:43No!
00:27:43I said don't bother me!
00:27:46So that's why you came home so late?
00:27:48You were with another woman.
00:27:50Three years.
00:27:51And the truth is, you just never wanted me.
00:28:05Chloe.
00:28:06Chloe!
00:28:07Oh, God!
00:28:11Oh, God!
00:28:24Who's there?
00:28:29Sorry, it's me.
00:28:30I was just bringing you a towel.
00:28:55Anderson, have a glass of milk.
00:28:57It's good for you after drinking alcohol.
00:28:59That's all you have to say to me?
00:29:00Sleep early.
00:29:01You have work tomorrow.
00:29:07Are you a fucking robot?
00:29:08Do you seriously not feel anything?
00:29:10You saw the lipstick on my collar.
00:29:12You heard me calling Chloe's name in the shower.
00:29:14So why aren't you saying anything?
00:29:17I...
00:29:17Of course.
00:29:19Why would you care?
00:29:20All you care about is the Lockwood fortune.
00:29:22For three years, I've ignored you, pushed you away, treated you like nothing, and you just took it.
00:29:28Do you know how pathetic you look?
00:29:30Did you think that would make me love you?
00:29:33Give it up, Freya!
00:29:34You will never make me love you!
00:29:38You don't have to love me, Anderson.
00:29:41Not anymore.
00:29:42Because soon, it'll all be over.
00:29:45Right?
00:29:46You don't need my love.
00:29:47You've got my grandfather's will.
00:29:49That's all you ever wanted.
00:29:50The Lockwood money.
00:29:52You're just a greedy fucking gold digger!
00:29:55I'm trapped in a marriage with a woman I don't love, and as far as I can tell, you don't
00:29:59love me either.
00:30:00That's why you don't care who I'm with.
00:30:02That's why none of this bothers you.
00:30:04God, I'm so fucking sick of you!
00:30:07Anderson, if you paid even a little attention to me the last three years, you'd know that it was never
00:30:11about the money.
00:30:12Give it a few more days, Anderson.
00:30:14Then, you'll get your wish.
00:30:39We're almost there.
00:30:41Bear with me, Freya.
00:31:15I endured agony beyond imagination just to become human.
00:31:19I gave up everything for the chance to see this world, to know what it means to love, to be
00:31:23loved, to truly live.
00:31:26For three years, I have kept my promise.
00:31:29I have sacrificed, endured, and obeyed.
00:31:32But when the three years are over, I am free.
00:31:36No more promises.
00:31:37No more sacrifices.
00:31:39No more living for anyone else.
00:31:41From that day forward, I live for me.
00:31:49Hey, August.
00:31:50Long time no see.
00:31:52It's Chloe.
00:31:53I wanted to ask about the West Coast Route.
00:31:56That route's already been claimed.
00:31:57Don't waste your time.
00:31:58By who?
00:31:59Someone who saved me.
00:32:01And someone you have no business knowing.
00:32:03So quit asking.
00:32:15August.
00:32:16I'm putting you in charge of the West Coast Route approval.
00:32:18You will deliver these documents to Anderson personally.
00:32:21Nothing can go wrong.
00:32:22Understood?
00:32:24Yes, Father.
00:32:25But why did your attitude change so drastically?
00:32:28Is it simply because Freya saved my life?
00:32:32Let's just say I found out some things about Freya from Jack.
00:32:35The pirate who held me hostage?
00:32:37Yes.
00:32:38He came to find me after sending Freya home.
00:32:41You don't think it's weird the most notorious pirate king in the world bowed to a woman?
00:32:45Well, it turns out she isn't just any woman.
00:32:49She's that important?
00:32:50I'll tell you when you're older and wiser.
00:32:53But make sure you deliver these papers to Anderson Lockwood personally.
00:32:57Yes, Father.
00:33:07August.
00:33:09Welcome.
00:33:10It's an honor to have you here.
00:33:11Hey, relax.
00:33:12No need for all that.
00:33:13I'm here about the West Coast Route.
00:33:15Thank God.
00:33:16Listen.
00:33:16If Director Charles is willing to sign off on it, Lockwood will give you whatever you want.
00:33:20The lion's share of the profits, anything.
00:33:22Name your terms.
00:33:24Anderson, you can stop looking like you're about to lose an arm and a leg.
00:33:28Nobody's bleeding you dry today.
00:33:32What is this?
00:33:33Open it.
00:33:34It's what you've been dreaming about.
00:33:40This is the official sign-on for the West Coast Route?
00:33:45How is that possible?
00:33:46I haven't even submitted our revised proposal to Director Charles.
00:33:50And it's not just this route.
00:33:51From now on, any route Lockwood applies for will be approved.
00:33:55No restrictions.
00:33:57What?
00:33:58August, you better not be joking.
00:34:00Why is Director Charles changing his tune all of a sudden?
00:34:03If you want to know why, you should thank your lady.
00:34:05You're one lucky bastard.
00:34:07My lady?
00:34:09Alright, my job here is done.
00:34:11See you around.
00:34:14A lady?
00:34:15What woman could have that kind of influence with the Maritime Authority besides Chloe?
00:34:19Of course.
00:34:20Of course.
00:34:20It has to be her.
00:34:28Hello?
00:34:29Anderson, darling.
00:34:30Something wrong?
00:34:31The West Coast Route was approved.
00:34:32August told me everything.
00:34:34Chloe, I don't even know how to thank you.
00:34:35You just saved my life.
00:34:36What?
00:34:37Even I couldn't get that route and they gave it to Anderson?
00:34:39Whatever.
00:34:40If Anderson thinks I did it, why should I correct him?
00:34:43Darling, don't mention it.
00:34:44It was nothing.
00:34:45Chloe, you're too good to me.
00:34:46I need to thank you properly.
00:34:48In person.
00:34:49Then come over, darling.
00:34:50I happen to have a very nice bottle of red wine.
00:34:52We can celebrate.
00:34:53Done. I'm on my way.
00:35:00Freya.
00:35:01Good. You're here.
00:35:02Listen, I have something important to take care of tonight.
00:35:05Eat dinner without me.
00:35:05Don't wait up.
00:35:07Something important.
00:35:08You're going to see Chloe.
00:35:10Aren't you?
00:35:11If you knew what she just did for me, you'd be grateful to her too.
00:35:14So enough with the jealousy.
00:35:15You're already my wife.
00:35:16The least you can do is stop making a scene over nothing.
00:35:20Three years.
00:35:21And after all this time, you really think so little of me?
00:35:24Tomorrow is the last day of our contract.
00:35:26I'll give you what you've always wanted, Anderson.
00:35:28I'll disappear from your life forever.
00:35:37Let's go.
00:35:40Let's go.
00:35:42Let's go.
00:35:42Let's go.
00:35:43Let's go.
00:35:45Let's go.
00:35:46Darling, you came?
00:35:50Come in.
00:35:51I've been waiting for you.
00:35:52Chloe, I just stopped by to thank you in person.
00:35:54Without your help in securing the West Coast route, Lockwood would have been in serious trouble.
00:35:59Oh, Anderson.
00:36:01Since when do you have to thank me?
00:36:02If it means helping you, I'd gladly beg Uncle Charles myself.
00:36:06Come on.
00:36:07Let's celebrate.
00:36:08To your success.
00:36:09Cheers.
00:36:16Oh, my God.
00:36:18I'm so clumsy.
00:36:19So sorry, darling.
00:36:23It's fine, Chloe.
00:36:25I've got it.
00:36:28Anderson, you can't stay in those wet clothes.
00:36:30You'll catch a cold.
00:36:34I'll take a shower and change.
00:36:35I won't be long.
00:36:38Okay.
00:37:01Sorry, babe.
00:37:02Your husband and I are going to have an amazing night together.
00:37:07So this is the important thing you had to do?
00:37:24Anderson, you look incredible right now.
00:37:26Chloe, you're drunk.
00:37:27Let go of me.
00:37:27I'm not drunk.
00:37:29Anderson, don't you miss what we had?
00:37:31Not even a little?
00:37:31We were so in love in college.
00:37:32You said you were going to marry me.
00:37:34Don't tell me you forgot about all of that.
00:37:37That was a long time ago.
00:37:38I'm married now.
00:37:40Married?
00:37:41So what?
00:37:42Come on, Anderson.
00:37:43What does Freya have that I don't?
00:37:45She's dull, uptight, and obsessed with your money.
00:37:48She doesn't get you, and she sure as hell can't help you get ahead.
00:37:52How is she even in my league?
00:37:54Enough, Chloe.
00:37:55Don't speak about her like that.
00:37:57She's still my wife.
00:38:00Your wife?
00:38:01Stop kidding yourself.
00:38:03If you really loved her, you wouldn't be here tonight.
00:38:06I know you still have feelings for me.
00:38:08You still want me, don't you?
00:38:33You crazy bitch, you hit me?
00:38:35Anderson, help me!
00:38:42You've got some nerve, putting your hands on my husband.
00:38:48Freya!
00:38:49Have you lost your mind?
00:38:50Don't touch me!
00:39:04I'm sorry, Freya. I was just...
00:39:06You were acting crazy, and I just needed to calm you down.
00:39:09You could have actually hurt Chloe.
00:39:12You hit me?
00:39:13To protect that liar?
00:39:15The one who's trying to sleep with my husband?
00:39:17It was an accident!
00:39:18For the last time, nothing happened between us!
00:39:22Do you think I'm stupid, Anderson?
00:39:26Drop the act.
00:39:27I know you don't actually give a damn about me.
00:39:29You're only in it for the money.
00:39:30You're just afraid that I'll leave you for someone else, and you'll lose this lifestyle.
00:39:33Well, guess what?
00:39:34If it weren't for my grandfather's will, I never would have married you!
00:39:36I'm sorry.
00:39:39I'm sorry.
00:39:40Three years.
00:39:41Over a thousand days.
00:39:43And after all that, Anderson, did you really never feel anything for me?
00:39:47I guess your heart really is made of ice.
00:39:50Then who do you want to marry, Chloe?
00:39:56Enough.
00:39:57Let's just talk at home.
00:40:04Anderson!
00:40:04Don't go after that crazy woman!
00:40:06Let her go!
00:40:07Stay with me tonight.
00:40:08We can start over.
00:40:09Just like we were back in college.
00:40:10Chloe, I'm a married man.
00:40:11This can't happen again.
00:40:16Freedom!
00:40:30Useless!
00:40:31All of you!
00:40:31I don't care what kind of pirates they are!
00:40:34My son, August, is stranded on that yacht right now.
00:40:37Send the Navy, the Coast Guard, whoever the hell you need.
00:40:40Just get my son back!
00:40:41We can't, Director Thorne.
00:40:43It's the Black Tide, the most notorious pirate kring on these waters.
00:40:46They're ruthless.
00:40:47Even naval patrols won't go near them.
00:40:49And with that storm coming in, there's no way we can get August out.
00:40:55No, God, he's my only son.
00:40:58Somebody please save him!
00:41:15Who the hell are you?
00:41:16Hey!
00:41:17Who let her in?
00:41:18Who I am isn't important.
00:41:20But it seems like your son has a little run in with the Black Tide pirates.
00:41:26I can help you get your son back.
00:41:29You?
00:41:34You look like a housewife.
00:41:36How could you possibly get my son back from the most notorious pirates?
00:41:39Security!
00:41:41Get her out of here!
00:41:44Give me 30 minutes.
00:41:46Your son will be back in one piece.
00:41:47You have nothing to lose.
00:41:50You have nothing to lose.
00:41:50Besides, pirates happen to be my specialty.
00:41:52He's not so naughty!
00:41:54No no no...
00:41:54We'rekm commercial playing either.

00:45:11I'll come find you.
00:45:22I'll come find you.
00:45:48Grandpa you're gonna get better. The best doctors in the world are here.
00:45:52It's okay. We all have to face death someday. The only choice we get is how we meet it.
00:45:58You can't just give up. I've already lost mom and dad. I can't lose you too.
00:46:02Your parents died at sea when you were an infant. You grew up by my side and I know you
00:46:07better than anyone. That's why I worry.
00:46:11Worry about what grandpa?
00:46:13Worry that after I die my brothers and your uncles will come after the family fortune. We've grown too powerful
00:46:19and hearts have turned greedy. You're not ready to face them alone.
00:46:24You need a good wife by your side to help you. A wife? I don't need a woman to help
00:46:29me. I can handle things on my own.
00:46:31Go rest. Grandpa has some things to take care of.
00:46:35All right. I'll see you in the morning grandfather.
00:46:51Send everyone back to their rooms and close the curtains. Whatever happens, no one comes on deck.
00:46:56Yes, sir.
00:47:09Everything I have is thanks to her.
00:47:52Henry, good to see you again. How are you feeling?
00:47:57Oh, you know, the usual. Doctor says a few more months at best.
00:48:05Frius, have you given my proposal any thought?
00:48:07Yes. I already spoke with my father. And while he did not give me his support, I've decided to do
00:48:14it anyways.
00:48:15Henry, I'll marry your grandson. And in return, you help me grow legs.
00:48:28Then we have a deal. I'll give you what you need to become human. And in return, you marry my
00:48:35grandson for three years.
00:48:36And then in three years' time, I shall be free. Thank you, Henry.
00:48:42No, Freya. Thank you. Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:48:48The sea is unforgiving, but you've protected my family all these years.
00:48:52I feel ashamed to even ask for more, but Anderson is my only grandson. Please help me take care of
00:49:00him.
00:49:01I will, Henry. I promise.
00:49:24Anderson, according to your grandfather's will, you must marry the woman of his choosing.
00:49:28If you wish to inherit Lockwood Enterprises and the entire estate.
00:49:33Marriage? Grandpa was serious about that?
00:49:40He really wants me to marry a stranger?
00:49:43He really wants me to marry a stranger?
00:50:08Hello, Anderson. I'm Freya.
00:50:16Anderson, you lucky dog. I swear I've never seen a woman this beautiful in my life. She's smoking hot.
00:50:26She's obviously just a gold digger. I've seen plenty.
00:50:30I'm not going to marry her.
00:50:33I'm sorry, Anderson, but if you refuse to marry Miss Freya, then according to the will,
00:50:37your grandfather's entire estate will pass to his brothers and your uncles.
00:50:41He's a fucking man, child. He'll run Lockwood into the ground.
00:50:44Henry should have left the estate to us.
00:50:50Anderson, you can't let your grandfather's shipping empire fall into the hands of those old vultures.
00:50:54Just marry her first, secure the inheritance, and figure out the rest later.
00:51:01Damn it. Fine. I'll marry her.
00:51:08Don't think you've won.
00:51:09To me, you're nothing but a greedy, shameless little gold digger
00:51:12who somehow manipulated my grandfather into giving you what you wanted.
00:51:15That's not true.
00:51:17I'm marrying you because I made a promise to your grandfather
00:51:19to help you and support you.
00:51:24You? Help me?
00:51:25I know all about women like you.
00:51:27All you do is go shopping, drink matcha, and do Pilates.
00:51:29You haven't worked a day in your life. How could you possibly help me?
00:51:34What's Pilates and matcha?
00:51:38Look, just stay out of my way, okay?
00:51:40This is a contract marriage. You're not my real wife.
00:51:42And I will never love you.
00:51:49Humans really are weird.
00:52:20I will never love you, okay?
00:52:29Seriously?
00:52:30Charles denied my ships from passing the strait again?
00:52:33Fuck!
00:52:40Anderson, you've been working for over 12 hours straight.
00:52:44I made your favorite dessert.
00:52:45Come try some.
00:52:47Get that shit off my desk.
00:52:48I need Director Charles' approval for my ships to pass, not some damn pie.
00:52:54Get out.
00:52:58But you haven't eaten in hours.
00:53:00I said I don't want it.
00:53:10Ow!
00:53:12You're so clumsy. Let me see that.
00:53:15I'm all right.
00:53:20Why do you keep doing this?
00:53:22No matter how badly I treat you, you just keep coming back.
00:53:24You think putting up with all my shit is going to make me fall for you?
00:53:26Why won't you just leave already?
00:53:28You're right.
00:53:30No matter how you treated me in the last few years, I stayed.
00:53:33But Anderson, can you just put up with me for a little longer?
00:53:35A few more days.
00:53:37That's all I need.
00:53:38What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:53:40Go put some ice on that hand.
00:53:41I don't have time to cuddle a needy wife.
00:53:42I have work to do.
00:53:49Just five more days, Anderson.
00:53:51Then we'll both be free.
00:54:04Three years.
00:54:05I gave you my best.
00:54:07I even fell in love with you.
00:54:08But all my love still wasn't enough to thaw your heart.
00:54:15Anderson!
00:54:16We need that exclusive West Coast route approved in two days.
00:54:19Our new sermon conductor shipment is already locked into that corridor.
00:54:22If we miss the window and breach the contract,
00:54:24the penalties alone could cripple the company.
00:54:27You think I don't know that?
00:54:29I've been trying to get a meeting with Director Charles for months.
00:54:31He simply refuses.
00:54:35Anderson needs my help.
00:54:38All right, let this will be the last thing I do for you.
00:55:05Useless!
00:55:05All of you!
00:55:06I don't care what kind of pirates they are!
00:55:08My son, August, is stranded on that yacht right now.
00:55:12Send the Navy, the Coast Guard, whoever the hell you need.
00:55:15Just get my son back!
00:55:16We can't, Director Thorne.
00:55:18It's the Black Tide, the most notorious pirate kring on these waters.
00:55:21They're ruthless.
00:55:22Even naval patrols won't go near them.
00:55:24And with that storm coming in, there's no way we can get August out.
00:55:30No.
00:55:31God.
00:55:31He's my only son.
00:55:32Somebody please save him!
00:55:50Who the hell are you?
00:55:51Hey!
00:55:52Who let her in?
00:55:52Who I am isn't important.
00:55:55But it seems like your son has a little run-in with the Black Tide Pirates.
00:56:00I can help you get your son back.
00:56:04You?
00:56:09You look like a housewife.
00:56:11How could you possibly get my son back from the most notorious pirates?
00:56:14Security!
00:56:16Get her out of here!
00:56:19Give me 30 minutes.
00:56:21Your son will be back in one piece.
00:56:23You have nothing to lose.
00:56:24Besides, pirates happen to be my specialty.
00:56:37Three minutes left.
00:56:39I swear to God, if you're fucking with me, I'll personally ban your husband's ships from these waters for life!
00:56:43Fine, but that won't happen.
00:56:45Remember our deal.
00:56:46I help you get your son back, you get my husband's papers.
00:56:51Sir, the storm is raging on.
00:56:53No boat can dock in this weather.
00:56:54You hear that?
00:56:54You're lying to me, aren't you?
00:56:56My son isn't coming!
00:56:57I'm not here anymore, but I'm not here.
00:57:12I'm not here anymore.
00:57:12I'm not here anymore.
00:57:13You're lying to me, aren't you?
00:57:37August?
00:57:38August!
00:57:39I see my son!
00:57:42Right on time.
00:57:51August!
00:57:53I can't believe this.
00:57:54You're actually back.
00:57:55Are you okay?
00:57:55Are you hurt?
00:57:57Dad, I'm okay.
00:57:59Hmm.
00:58:00You got lucky this time.
00:58:02What do you want?
00:58:20Lady Freya,
00:58:22sorry for the trouble.
00:58:23I didn't know these were your friends.
00:58:25How many times do I have to tell you, Jack?
00:58:26Stop kidnapping people.
00:58:30Sorry.
00:58:31Won't happen again.
00:58:33Who is she?
00:58:34She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
00:58:37Who are you, exactly?
00:58:41Someone you should never mess with.
00:58:43Lady Freya,
00:58:44may I give you a ride home?
00:58:46You may, Jack.
00:58:50Remember our deal, Director Charles.
00:58:52My husband's papers.
00:59:10Anderson has got himself one incredible wife.
00:59:13Go ahead and approve his papers.
00:59:15Now!
00:59:15Yes, Director.
00:59:24Oh, God.
00:59:26Anderson, I have good news.
00:59:29I took care of it.
00:59:31Oh, God.
00:59:37Oh, God.
00:59:41Oh, God.
00:59:42Oh, God.
00:59:45I have no courage and nothing to show for it.
00:59:47He's never touched me once like a real husband.
00:59:52He'd rather jerk himself off than to touch me.
00:59:57Tomorrow is the gala.
00:59:59Only four days left to go.
01:00:05Anderson, congrats, cousin.
01:00:07Gotta say,
01:00:08never thought you'd run the family empire this well.
01:00:11Your ships always get calm seas
01:00:12and even pirates seem to avoid them.
01:00:15Come on.
01:00:16What's your secret?
01:00:17Did you get a mermaid's blessing?
01:00:18Appreciate it.
01:00:19And no mermaids, no blessings.
01:00:21Just hard work and good fortune.
01:00:24Speaking of which,
01:00:25Anderson, where's that mysterious wife of yours?
01:00:26Why isn't she here?
01:00:29What was your grandfather thinking,
01:00:31forcing you to marry that woman?
01:00:32None of your business, Carter.
01:00:34Come on.
01:00:34Everyone knows.
01:00:35The most eligible bachelor in the city.
01:00:38Married off in his prime to some nobody
01:00:40who's only after his money?
01:00:41It's a tragedy.
01:00:42Enough.
01:00:44Freya is my wife.
01:00:45She's the lady of the Lockwood house.
01:00:47Besides,
01:00:48this was my grandfather's decision.
01:00:50It's not your place to judge.
01:00:53All right, Carter.
01:00:54That's enough.
01:00:54Tonight's supposed to be a celebration.
01:00:56Fine.
01:00:57But I've got some exciting news for you.
01:01:00Remember Chloe?
01:01:01The girl every guy in school wanted?
01:01:03The hottest cheerleader on campus?
01:01:04Well, she's finally back from Paris.
01:01:07You two almost got engaged back then.
01:01:08If she hadn't gone abroad,
01:01:10she'd be on your arm tonight
01:01:11instead of that gold digger
01:01:12you've got sitting at home.
01:01:16Anderson!
01:01:17Darling!
01:01:17It's been forever!
01:01:22It's been forever!
01:01:28Chloe?
01:01:29Chloe?
01:01:38How do I look, Anderson?
01:01:40Even better than you remember?
01:01:42Chloe?
01:01:43What are you doing here?
01:01:46I invited her!
01:01:47You two were the power couple.
01:01:49And look at you now.
01:01:50You've built an empire
01:01:51and Chloe's a world-class skier.
01:01:53Now she's finally back.
01:01:54Don't tell me you're not happy to see her.
01:01:56Well, are you?
01:01:57Of course I am.
01:01:59But...
01:02:17That must be Anderson's wife.
01:02:19She's gorgeous.
01:02:20Heard his grandpa forced him to marry her.
01:02:22So what if she's pretty?
01:02:23I heard she's a good-for-nothing housewife
01:02:25who's just after his money.
01:02:27Freya!
01:02:27Anderson!
01:02:28It's been so long.
01:02:30I miss you.
01:02:31Can we dance?
01:02:36You two should totally dance.
01:02:42Hey, Anderson.
01:02:43I got you a gift
01:02:43for the 25th anniversary
01:02:45of Lockwood Enterprise.
01:02:50Ouch!
01:02:51Chloe, are you okay?
01:02:55I think I twisted my ankle.
01:03:01Okay, let me take you to the hospital.
01:03:05Wait, Anderson!
01:03:08What?
01:03:09Can't someone else take her?
01:03:11You're my husband.
01:03:13I think...
01:03:14Jesus, Freya.
01:03:15Can you stop pestering me
01:03:16about such unimportant things?
01:03:17Chloe is hurt.
01:03:18Don't.
01:03:28So this is the woman he loves.
01:03:30Don't worry, Anderson.
01:03:32In three days, you'll be free.
