Quiet post on The Mermaid's Tear, and the cruellest person in it is the one with no stake.

Adriana at least has a marriage and a name to defend. The sister has none of that. She is not married to him, owed nothing by him, not required to be in the room.

Which is why she can say the worst things in that house at no cost. Contempt is cheap where nothing is at risk. A wife has to live with the consequences of a cruel sentence; a sister-in-law only has to enjoy delivering it.

That pattern is in most families, and it is why the harshest voice is so often the least invested.

✨ What worked for me:
- She is never given a reason for the hostility.
- Nobody in the family corrects her.

✨ Bottom line: the loudest contempt came from whoever paid least for it.

Who in your family risks nothing by talking?

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

00:43:47Shh.
00:43:47Shh.
00:43:55Hurry.
00:43:56Go before the other men come on deck.
00:43:58Henry!
00:43:58Did you catch something big?
00:44:00Just some crabs.
00:44:01Nothing major.
00:44:05Shh.
00:44:06Shh.
00:44:06Shh.
00:44:06Shh.

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