third post on The Mermaid's Tear, and this one is about how a household addresses someone it does not rate.
Count the times anyone says his name. Almost never. He is the fisherman, or that one, or the man your father brought.
Names are for people who might not come when called. He always comes. So the name is unnecessary, and then it is gone.
The old man is the only one who says it. Watch how — carefully, the way you address someone whose full title you know and have agreed not to use.
Dinner scenes are the tell. Everyone else gets called. He gets looked at.
✨ What worked for me:
- He never corrects anybody. Not once in three years.
- The last time it is spoken, it is by someone leaving
✨ Bottom line: a household stops naming you long before it stops using you.

微电影文字稿
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.
00:03:53Here.
00:03:53No.
00:03:55No.
00:03:58No.
00:04:11No!
00:04:38Thank you for saving me, kind human.
00:04:40In return, I shall protect you at sea.
00:04:43As long as you're on these waters, good fortune will follow you.
00:04:47If you need to speak with me, drop a pearl into the sea.
00:04:50I'll come find you.
00:05:28Grandpa, you're gonna get better. The best doctors in the world are here.
00:05:30It'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. You're not ready to face them alone.
00:06:03You 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.
00:06:14All right. I'll see you in the morning, Grandfather.
00:06:30Send everyone back to their rooms and close the curtains. Whatever 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. Doctor says a few more months at best.
00:07:44Frius, have you given my proposal any thought?
00:07:47Yes. I already spoke with my father. And while he did not give me his support, I've decided to do
00:07:53it anyways.
00:07:55Henry, I'll marry your grandson. And in return, you help me grow legs.
00:08:08Then we have a deal. I'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. Thank you, Henry.
00:08:21No, Freya. Thank you. Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:08:27The sea is unforgiving, but you've protected my family all these years.
00:08:32I feel ashamed to even ask for more, but Anderson is my only grandson. Please help me take care of
00:08:40him.
00:08:40I will, Henry. I promise.
00:09:03Anderson, according to your grandfather's will, you must marry the woman of his choosing, if you wish to inherit Lockwood
00:09:09Enterprises and the entire estate.
00:09:13Marriage. Grandpa was serious about that?
00:09:19He really wants me to marry a stranger?
00:09:47Hello, Anderson. I'm Freya.
00:09:55Anderson, you lucky dog. I swear I've never seen a woman this beautiful in my life. She's smoking hot.
00:10:06She's obviously just a gold digger. I'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, your grandfather's entire estate
00:10:17will pass to his brothers and your uncles.
00:10:20He's a fucking man, child. He'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. Fine. I'll marry her.
00:10:47Don't think you've won. To me, you're nothing but a greedy, shameless little gold digger who somehow manipulated my grandfather
00:10:53into giving you what you wanted.
00:10:54That's not true. I'm marrying you because I made a promise to your grandfather to help you and support you.
00:11:03You? Help me? I know all about women like you. All you do is go shopping, drink matcha, and do
00:11:08Pilates.
00:11:08You haven't worked a day in your life. How could you possibly help me?
00:11:13What's Pilates and matcha?
00:11:17Look, just stay out of my way, okay? This is a contract marriage. You're not my real wife. And I
00:11:22will never love you.
00:11:28Humans really are weird.
00:11:59Humans really are weird.
00:12:08Seriously? Charles denied my ships from passing the strait again? Fuck!
00:12:20Anderson, you've been working for over 12 hours straight. I made your favorite dessert. Come try some.
00:12:26Get that shit off my desk. I 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.
00:12:51You're so clumsy. Let me see that.
00:12:54I'm alright.
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? Why won't you just
00:13:06leave 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. That's all I need.
00:13:18What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:13:19Go put some ice on that hand. I don't have time to coddle a needy wife. I have work to
00:13:22do.
00:13:28Just five more days, Anderson. Then we'll both be free.
00:13:43Three years. I gave you my best. I even fell in love with you.
00:13:47But all my love still wasn't enough to thaw your heart.
00:13:54Anderson. We need that exclusive west coast route. Approved 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, the 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.
00:14:17Alright, Liv, this will be the last thing I do for you.
00:14:44You're useless! All of you! I 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, just get my son back!
00:14:55We can't, Director Thorne. It's the Black Tide, the most notorious pirate kring on these waters.
00:15:00They're ruthless. Even 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, he's my only son. Somebody please save him!
00:15:29Who the hell are you?
00:15:30Hey! Who let her in?
00:15:31Who 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. Your son will be back in one piece. You 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. Remember our deal. I helped you get your son back, you get my husband his
00:16:28papers.
00:16:28Hmm.
00:16:30Sir, the storm is raging on. No boat can dock in this weather.
00:16:33You hear that? You're lying to me, aren't you? My son isn't coming!
00:16:47Why?
00:16:48Oh, my dear...
00:16:49Oh, my dear, sir...
00:16:50Shhh.
00:16:51Look.
00:16:53Oh, my dear.
00:16:59Oh, my dear.
00:17:01Oh, man.
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?
00:18:00Lady Freya, sorry 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.
00:18:52Anderson has got himself one incredible wife.
00:18:52Go ahead and approve his papers.
00:18:54Now!
00:18:55Yes, Director!
00:19:05Anderson, I have good news.
00:19:08I took care of it.
00:19:10I took care of it.
00:19:19Oh, God.
00:19:23Anderson, I have good news.
00:19:25There's 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.
00:19:37Only 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?
00:20:44Well, 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
00:20:50instead of that gold digger you've got sitting at home.
00:20:55Anderson!
00:20:56Darling!
00:20:57It's been forever!
00:21:01It's been forever!
00:21:07Chloe?
00:21:18How do I look, Anderson?
00:21:19Even 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
00:22:04who'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.
00:22:22I got you a gift
00:22:23for 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
00:22:55about such unimportant things?
00:22:57Chloe is hurt.
00:23:00What?
00:23:08So this is the woman he loves.
00:23:10Don't worry, Anderson.
00:23:11In three days, you'll be free.
00:23:23Damn it!
00:23:24If the West Coast route doesn't get approved this week,
00:23:26the 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.
00:23:35Hey, Anderson, if Charles is a dead end,
00:23:39maybe you could ask Chloe for help.
00:23:41She's in the same surf club with August Thone,
00:23:43Charles' 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
00:24:09with 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, do your nails,
00:24:23whatever the hell it is you waste your time on.
00:24:24Just stop trying to get my attention
00:24:26by 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
00:24:38than 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
00:24:45as important as this route?
00:24:46I 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.
00:25:15It's not something a housewife can fix.
00:25:17Just let it go.
00:25:23Believe me or don't,
00:25:25what I told you is true.
00:25:37You may have been Mrs. Lockwood
00:25:38for the last three years,
00:25:39but I'm still the one he wants.
00:25:41Take the hint
00:25:42and get out of his life
00:25:42before you embarrass yourself even more.
00:25:49Anderson,
00:25:50I brought you dessert
00:25:50from that patisserie you love.
00:26:10Three days left.
00:26:12After that,
00:26:13I'll say goodbye to Anderson for good.
00:26:25Anderson, work always gives you headaches
00:26:28And 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, I know you still love me
00:26:52I still love you too
00:26:54Divorce her, kick 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
00:27:13Anderson, do 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
00:27:33And I already laid out your pajamas
00:27:34You can change into them after your shower
00:27:35I don't want it, I'm heading to bed
00:27:37Don't bother me
00:27:41Let me take your coat then
00:27:42No, I said don't bother me
00:27:46So that's why you came home so late?
00:27:48You were with another woman
00:27:49Three years
00:27:50And the truth is
00:27:52You just never wanted me
00:28:05Chloe, Chloe
00:28:07Oh 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
00:29:23I've ignored you
00:29:24Pushed you away
00:29:26Treated you like nothing
00:29:27And 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
00:29:43It'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
00:29:56With a woman I don't love
00:29:57And as far as I can tell
00:29:58You don't love 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
00:30:03God, I'm so fucking sick of you
00:30:06Anderson
00:30:07If you paid even a little attention
00:30:09To me over the last three years
00:30:10You'd know that it was never about the money
00:30:12Give it a few more days, Anderson
00:30:14You'll get your wish
00:30:39We're almost there
00:30:41Bear with me, Freya
00:31:07Bear with me, Freya
00:31:15I endured agony beyond imagination
00:31:17Just to become human
00:31:18I gave up everything for the chance
00:31:20To see this world
00:31:21To know what it means to love
00:31:23To be loved
00:31:24To truly live
00:31:26For three years
00:31:27I have kept my promise
00:31:29I have sacrificed
00:31:30Endured
00:31:31And obeyed
00:31:32But when the three years are over
00:31:34I am free
00:31:35No more promises
00:31:37No more sacrifices
00:31:39No more living for anyone else
00:31:41From that day forward
00:31:43I 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
00:31:55That route's already been claimed
00:31:57Don't waste your time
00:31:58By who?
00:32:00Someone who saved me
00:32:01And someone you have no business knowing
00:32:03So quit asking
00:32:04So quit asking
00:32:15August
00:32:15I'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
00:32:33I 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
00:32:42The most notorious pirate king in the world
00:32:44Bowed to a woman
00:32:45Well it turns out
00:32:47She 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
00:32:56Yes, father
00:33:07August
00:33:09Welcome
00:33:09It'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
00:33:14Thank God
00:33:15Listen
00:33:16If director Charles is willing to sign off on it
00:33:18Lockwood will give you whatever you want
00:33:20The lion's share of the profits
00:33:21Anything
00:33:22Name your terms
00:33:24Anderson
00:33:24You 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
00:33:42The 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
00:33:52Any route Lockwood applies for will be approved
00:33:54No 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
00:34:04You 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
00:34:20It 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
00:34:47In person
00:34:48Then come over, darling
00:34:49I happen to have a very nice bottle of red wine
00:34:52We can celebrate
00:34:53Done
00:34:53I'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
00:35:04Eat 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
00:35:13So enough with the jealousy
00:35:14You'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
00:35:45Darling, you came?
00:35:50Come in
00:35:50I've been waiting for you
00:35:52Chloe, I just stopped by to thank you in person
00:35:55Without your help in securing the West Coast route
00:35:57Lockwood would have been in serious trouble
00:35:59Oh, Anderson
00:36:00Since when do you have to thank me?
00:36:02If it means helping you
00:36:03I'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
00:37:01Sorry babe, your husband and I are going to have an amazing night together
00:37:07So this is the important thing you had to do?
00:37:13No
00:37:23Anderson, you look incredible right now
00:37:26Chloe, you're drunk
00:37:26Let go of me
00:37:27I'm not drunk
00:37:28Anderson, 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
00:37:49And 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
00:38:43Putting 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
00:39:05I was just
00:39:06You were acting crazy
00:39:08And 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
00:39:19Nothing 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
00:39:32And you'll lose this lifestyle
00:39:33Well guess what?
00:39:34If it weren't for my grandfather's will
00:39:35I never would have married you
00:39:40Three years
00:39:41Over a thousand days
00:39:43And after all that
00:39:44Anderson, 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?
00:39:57Enough
00:39:57Let's just talk at home
00:40:04Anderson, don't go after that crazy woman
00:40:06Let her go
00:40:06Stay with me tonight
00:40:07We can start over
00:40:08Just like we were back in college
00:40:10Chloe, I'm a married man
00:40:11This can't happen again
00:40:16Friil!
00:40:18Friil!
00:40:20Friil!
00:40:21Friil!
00:40:21Friil!
00:40:22Friil!
00:40:22Friil!
00:40:22Friil!
00:40:23Friil!
00:40:23Friil!
00:40:26Friil!
00:40:27Friil!
00:40:28Friil!
00:40:28Friil!
00:40:28Friil!
00:40:29Friil!
00:40:29Friil!
00:40:30Useless!
00:40:30All of you!
00:40:31I don't care what kind of pirates they are
00:40:33My son, August
00:40:35Is stranded on that yacht right now
00:40:37Send the Navy
00:40:38The Coast Guard
00:40:39Whoever 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
00:40:44The 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
00:40:50There's no way we can get August out
00:40:55No
00:40:55God
00:40:56He's my only son
00:40:57Somebody 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
00:41:48You have nothing to lose
00:41:50Besides
00:41:51Pirates happen to be my specialty
00:42:14Father
00:42:15I'm going on land
00:42:16I want to be where the humans are
00:42:22Absolutely not!
00:42:24Humans are vile and disgusting creatures
00:42:26They lie, they cheat, they destroy everything they touch
00:42:29I refuse to believe humans are all bad
00:42:31Don't you remember?
00:42:32When I was young, a human saved my life?
00:42:34Yes
00:42:35And in return, you protected him at sea
00:42:38You led him to the sunken treasures
00:42:40You cleared the storms
00:42:42And you even defended him against pirates
00:42:46Now he's a billionaire
00:42:47And his ships sail our waters unscathed
00:42:51See?
00:42:52Humans always want something in return
00:42:54You're wrong, Father
00:42:55I've seen the goodness in humans
00:42:57All my life I've been here
00:42:59There's a whole world out there waiting for me
00:43:00I want to see it with my own eyes
00:43:03Sorry, Father, but my mind is broken
00:43:04If you leave today, then don't ever bother coming back
00:43:11Then I'll forge my own path
00:43:13And walk my own road
00:43:14Goodbye, Father
00:43:16I'm sorry
00:43:18Freya
00:43:19Freya
00:43:19Come back
00:43:25When I was a child, I got caught in a fisherman's net
00:43:29I thought I was going to die
00:43:31But he saved my life
00:43:43I can't believe this
00:43:44A mermaid
00:43:45Please don't hurt me
00:43:51Shhh
00:44:08Hurry, go before the other men come on deck
00:44:10Henry, did you catch something big?
00:44:12Just some crabs, nothing major
00:44:26I had to use for a long time
00:44:27I'm going to die
00:44:32I'll spend my day
00:44:32I'm gonna die
00:44:33We're gonna die
00:44:34Like a shark
00:44:35And the reed
00:44:35But we're going to die
00:44:36I'm gonna die
00:44:36I'm gonna die
00:44:59Thank you for saving me, kind human.
00:45:01In return, I shall protect you at sea.
00:45:04As long as you're on these waters, good fortune will follow you.
00:45:08If you need to speak with me, drop a pearl into the sea.
00:45:11I'll come find you.
00:45:49Grandpa, you're going to get better.
00:45:50The best doctors in the world are here.
00:45:51It's okay.
00:45:53We all have to face death someday.
00:45:55The only choice we get is how we meet it.
00:45:58You can't just give up.
00:45:59I've already lost mom and dad.
00:46:01I can't lose you too.
00:46:02Your parents died at sea when you were an infant.
00:46:05You grew up by my side and I know you better than anyone.
00:46:09That'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.
00:46:18We've grown too powerful and hearts have turned greedy.
00:46:21You're not ready to face them alone.
00:46:24You need a good wife by your side to help you.
00:46:27A wife?
00:46:28I don't need a woman to help me.
00:46:29I can handle things on my own.
00:46:31Go rest.
00:46:33Grandpa has some things to take care of.
00:46:35Alright.
00:46:36I'll see you in the morning, Grandfather.
00:46:51Send everyone back to their rooms and close the curtains.
00:46:54Whatever happens, no one comes on deck.
00:46:57Yes, sir.
00:47:09Everything I have is thanks to her.
00:47:52Henry, good to see you again.
00:47:54How are you feeling?
00:47:57Oh, you know, the usual.
00:48:00Doctor says a few more months at best.
00:48:05Frius, have you given my proposal any thought?
00:48:07Yes.
00:48:08I already spoke with my father.
00:48:10And while he did not give me his support, I've decided to do it anyways.
00:48:15Henry, I'll marry your grandson.
00:48:18And in return, you help me grow legs.
00:48:28Then we have a deal.
00:48:30I'll give you what you need to become human.
00:48:32And in return, you marry my grandson for three years.
00:48:37And then in three years' time, I shall be free.
00:48:40Thank you, Henry.
00:48:42No, Freya.
00:48:45Without 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.
00:48:59Please help me take care of him.
00:49:01I will, Henry.
00:49:02I promise.
00:49:04I'm sorry.
00:49:23I promise.
00:49:23Anderson, 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?
00:50:08Hello, 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 gonna marry her.
00:50:33I'm sorry, Anderson, but if you refuse to marry Miss Freya, then according to the will, your grandfather's entire estate
00:50:38will 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 who somehow manipulated my grandfather into giving you what
00:51:14you wanted.
00:51:15That's not true. I'm marrying you because I made a promise to your grandfather to help you and support you.
00:51:24You? Help me? I know all about women like you. All you do is go shopping, drink matcha, and do
00:51:29Pilates.
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? This is a contract marriage. You're not my real wife.
00:51:42And I will never love you.
00:51:49Humans really are weird.
00:52:29Seriously? Charles denied my ships from passing the strait again? Fuck!
00:52:40Anderson, you've been working for over 12 hours straight. I made your favorite dessert. Come try some.
00:52:47Get that shit off my desk. I 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.
00:53:09Ow!
00:53:11You're so clumsy. Let me see that.
00:53:15I'm alright.
00:53:20Why do you keep doing this? No matter how badly I treat you, you just keep coming back. You think
00:53:24putting up with all my shit is gonna make me fall for you? Why won't you just leave already?
00:53:28You're right. No matter how you treated me in the last few years, I stayed. But Anderson, can you just
00:53:34put up with me for a little longer? A few more days. That's all I need.
00:53:38What the hell is that supposed to mean? Go put some ice on that hand. I don't have time to
00:53:41cuddle a needy wife. I have work to do!
00:53:49Just five more days, Anderson. Then we'll both be free.
00:54:04Three years. I gave you my best. I even fell in love with you. But all my love still wasn't
00:54:10enough to thaw your heart.
00:54:15Anderson! We need that exclusive west coast route approved in two days. Our new sermon conductor shipment is already locked
00:54:21into that corridor.
00:54:22If we miss the window and breach the contract, the penalties alone could cripple the company.
00:54:27You think I don't know that? I've been trying to get a meeting with Director Charles for months.
00:54:31He simply refuses!
00:54:35Anderson needs my help. Alright, let this will be the last thing I do for you.
00:55:05Useless! All of you! I don't care what kind of pirates they are!
00:55:08My son, August, is stranded on that yacht right now. Send the Navy, the Coast Guard, whoever the hell you
00:55:14need, just get my son back!
00:55:16We can't, Director Thorne. It's the Black Tide, the most notorious pirate kring on these waters.
00:55:21They're ruthless. Even naval patrols won't go near them. And with that storm coming in, there's no way we can
00:55:26get August out.
00:55:30No! God! He's my only son! Somebody please save him!
00:55:50Who the hell are you? Hey! Who let her in?
00:55:52Who I am isn't important. But it seems like your son has a little run-in with the Black Tide
00:55:58pirates.
00:56:00I can help you get your son back.
00:56:04You?
00:56:09You look like a housewife. How could you possibly get my son back from the most notorious pirates? Security!
00:56:16Get her out of here!
00:56:19Give me 30 minutes. Your son will be back in one piece. You 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. Remember our deal. I help you get your son back, you get my husband's papers.
00:56:49Hmm.
00:56:51Sir, the storm is raging on. No boat can dock in this weather.
00:56:54You hear that? You're lying to me, aren't you? My son isn't coming!
00:57:07Why are you doing that?
00:57:10No boat can't do anything.
00:57:10Why are you doing that?
00:57:11Shhh! Look.
00:57:12Uh.
00:57:14Uh.
00:57:15Uh.
00:57:15Uh.
00:57:16Uh.
00:57:17Uh.
00:57:17Uh.
00:57:20Uh.
00:57:21Uh.
00:57:22Uh.
00:57:22Uh.
00:57:23Uh.
00:57:23Uh.
00:57:24Uh.
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.
00:57:59Hmph.
00:58:00You got lucky this time.
00:58:02What do you want?
00:58:20Lady Freya, sorry 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, may I give you a ride home?
00:58:47You may, Jack.
00:58:48I'll be back.
00:58:48I'll be back.
00:58:49I'll be back.
00:58:50I'll be back.
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.
00:59:37Oh, God.
00:59:40Oh, God.
00:59:42Oh, God.
00:59:42Oh, God.
00:59:43Oh, God.
00:59:44Oh, God.
00:59:44Oh, God.
00:59:44Three years of marriage 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.
00:59:58Only four days left to go.
01:00:05Anderson.
01:00:06Congrats, cousin.
01:00:07Gotta say, never thought you'd run the family empire this well.
01:00:11Your ships always get calm seas and 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.
01:00:22Just hard work and good fortune.
01:00:24Speaking of which, Anderson, where's that mysterious wife of yours?
01:00:26Why isn't she here?
01:00:29What was your grandfather thinking, forcing 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 who'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, this 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, she'd be on your arm tonight instead of that gold digger you've
01:01:12got sitting at home.
01:01:15Anderson, darling.
01:01:17It's been forever.
01:01:27Chloe?
01:01:38How do I look, Anderson?
01:01:40Even better than you remember?
01:01:43Chloe, what 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 and 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.
01:02:00But...
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 who's just after his money.
01:02:27Freya!
01:02:27Anderson!
01:02:28It's been so long.
01:02:29I miss you.
01:02:31Can we dance?
01:02:36You two should totally dance.
01:02:41Hey, Anderson.
01:02:43I got you a gift for the 25th anniversary of Lockwood Enterprise.
01:02:50I got you a gift for the 25th anniversary of Lockwood Enterprise.
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?
01:03:11Can't someone else take her?
01:03:12You're my husband.
01:03:13I think.
01:03:14Jesus, Freya.
01:03:15Can you stop pestering me about such unimportant things?
01:03:17Chloe is hurt.
01:03:28So this is the woman he loves.
01:03:30Don't worry, Anderson.
01:03:32In three days, you'll be free.
01:03:43Damn it!
01:03:44If the West Coast route doesn't get approved this week, the penalties are going to bury us.
01:03:48Anderson, we can't keep going like this.
01:03:49I know.
01:03:50Director Charles won't budge.
01:03:52Not for money, not for pressure.
01:03:53I went to see him myself.
01:03:54He wouldn't even take the meeting.
01:03:57Anderson, if Charles is a dead end, maybe you could ask Chloe for help.
01:04:01She's in the same surf club with August Thone, Charles' son.
01:04:04Maybe she can put in a word for us.
01:04:09You don't need to worry about the West Coast route anymore.
01:04:11I've already taken care of it.
01:04:13The approval document should arrive soon.
01:04:17Don't be ridiculous, Freya.
01:04:18Do you have any idea how hard that approval is to get?
01:04:20Even Anderson can't get a meeting with Director Charles.
01:04:23How could you have possibly taken care of it?
01:04:28Freya, you're just an ordinary housewife with no power or connections.
01:04:31Could you please stop making things worse?
01:04:34I'm not joking.
01:04:35Director Charles already agreed to do it.
01:04:40Enough!
01:04:41You think business is some kind of game?
01:04:42Go shop, do your nails, whatever the hell it is you waste your time on.
01:04:45Just stop trying to get my attention by sticking your nose into my business!
01:04:50That's not what I'm doing.
01:04:53And what about last night's gala?
01:04:56I don't care how jealous you are of Chloe.
01:04:58You should have known better than to act like that in public.
01:05:02You're Mrs. Lockwood.
01:05:03You should know how to carry yourself.
01:05:05And now you're acting like you can solve something as important as this route?
01:05:07I expected better from you, Freya.
01:05:12Anderson, is that how you see me?
01:05:14Just a lying, jealous, good-for-nothing housewife?
01:05:23Hey, Chloe.
01:05:24You're here already?
01:05:26Good.
01:05:26Come straight up.
01:05:29Chloe's here.
01:05:30Get out now.
01:05:31I have to discuss work with her.
01:05:34Freya, you know how important this route is to us.
01:05:36It's not something a housewife can fix.
01:05:38Just let it go.
01:05:44Believe me or don't, what I told you is true.
01:05:58You may have been Mrs. Lockwood for the last three years, but I'm still the one he wants.
01:06:02Take the hint and get out of his life before you embarrass yourself even more.
01:06:10Anderson, I brought you dessert from that patisserie you love.
01:06:12It's alright.
01:06:22It's alright.
