Three days. His duty ends in three days, and after that the deal is finished and he can go.
In a long drama that would be a mid-season complication. Here it does the structural job, because every episode after that can be short without feeling slight. The audience is already counting. You do not need cliffhangers when there is a clock.
And when he does not leave — EP 3, EP 6, EP 8, all the way to EP 10 — the show never has to explain why. The deadline explains it by not arriving.
✨ What worked for me:
- The three days are mentioned once. The show trusts you.
- No episode ends on a countdown card.
✨ Bottom line: a stated deadline replaced half the writing.

07:07You know the usual
07:10Doctor says a few more month at best
07:14Frius have you given my proposal any thought yes?
07:18I already spoke with my father and while he did not give me his support. I've decided to do it
07:24anyways
07:25Henry
07:25I'll marry your grandson and in return you help me grow legs
07:38Then we have a deal I'll give you what you need to become human and in return
07:43You marry my grandson for three years and then in three years time. I shall be free
07:50Thank you, Henry
07:51No Freya
07:53Thank you
07:54Without you. Without you none of this would be possible the sea is unforgiving, but you've protected my family all
08:01these years
08:01I feel ashamed to even ask for more but
08:05Anderson is my only grandson
08:08Please help me take care of him. I will Henry
08:12I promise
08:33Anderson according to your grandfather's will you must marry the woman of his choosing if you wish to inherit Lockwood
08:39Enterprises and the entire estate
08:44Marriage grandpa was serious about that
08:49He really wants me to marry a stranger
09:17Oh
09:18Hello Anderson, I'm Freya
09:25Anderson you lucky dog. I swear. I've never seen a woman this beautiful in my life. She's smoking hot
09:36She's obviously just a gold digger. I've seen plenty
09:40I'm not gonna marry her
09:43I'm sorry Anderson, but if you refuse to marry miss Freya then according to the will your grandfather's entire estate
09:48will pass to his brothers and your uncle's
09:51He's a fucking man child
09:52He's a fucking man child. He'll run Lockwood into the ground Henry should have left the estate to us
09:59Anderson you can't let your grandfather's shipping empire fall into the hands of those old vultures
10:04Just marry her first secure the inheritance and figure out the rest later
10:11Damn it fine. I'll marry her
10:17Don't think you've won to me
10:19You're nothing but a greedy shameless little gold digger who somehow manipulated my grandfather into giving you what you wanted.
10:24That's not true
10:26I'm marrying you because I made a promise to your grandfather to help you and support you
10:33You help me I know all about women like you all you do is go shopping drink matcha and do
10:38Pilates
10:38You haven't worked a day in your life. How could you possibly help me?
10:43What's Pilates and matcha
10:47Look just stay out of my way, okay, this is a contract marriage. You're not my real wife and I
10:52will never love you
10:59Humans really are weird
11:17You
11:38Seriously
11:40Charles denied my ships from passing the straight again fuck
11:50Anderson you've been working for over 12 hours straight. I made your favorite dessert come try some
11:56Get that shit off my desk. I need director Charles's approval for my ships to pass not some damn pie
12:04Get out
12:08But you haven't eaten in hours. I said I don't want it
12:16Oh

12:25I'm all right
12:29Why do you keep doing this no matter how badly I treat you you just keep coming back
12:33You think putting up with all my shit is gonna make me fall for you. Why won't you just leave
12:37already?
12:38You're right
12:39No matter how you treated me in the last few years. I stayed but Anderson. Can you just put up
12:43with me for a little longer?
12:45A few more days. That's all I need

17:09You got lucky this time.

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