The fleet was saved. The family credits a man who was not on the water. He corrects the record, plainly, with no audience and no demand.
The answer is that he is stealing someone's moment.
In a household organised around status, credit is not a description of what happened. It is a resource belonging to whoever ranks high enough to hold it. An accurate sentence from a low-ranking person does not read as information. It reads as a claim on property.
Which is why he stops explaining afterwards. Not pride, arithmetic.

- Nobody checks whether his version is true.
- The accusation is delivered calmly, as if obvious.
✨ Bottom line: in that house, being right was a form of trespassing.

Short filmTranscript
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.
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.
00:03:46Nothing major.
00:04:16I've got to be sure.
00:04:32Thank you for saving me, kind human.
00:04:34In return, I shall protect you at sea.
00:04:37As long as you're on these waters, good fortune will follow you.
00:04:41If you need to speak with me, drop a pearl into the sea.
00:04:44I'll come find you.
00:05:16I'll come find you.
00:05:22Grandpa, you're going to get better.
00:05:23The best doctors in the world are here.
00:05:25It's okay.
00:05:26We all have to face death someday.
00:05:28The only choice we get is how we need it.
00:05:31You can't just give up.
00:05:32I've already lost mom and dad.
00:05:34I can't lose you too.
00:05:35Your parents died at sea when you were an infant.
00:05:38You grew up by my side and I know you better than anyone.
00:05:42That's why I worry.
00:05:44Worry about what, Grandpa?
00:05:46Worry that after I die, my brothers and your uncles will come after the family fortune.
00:05:51We've grown too powerful and hearts have turned greedy.
00:05:55You're not ready to face them alone.
00:05:57You need a good wife by your side to help you.
00:06:00A wife?
00:06:01I don't need a woman to help me.
00:06:02I can handle things on my own.
00:06:04Go rest.
00:06:06Grandpa has some things to take care of.
00:06:08All right.
00:06:09I'll see you in the morning, Grandfather.
00:06:24Send everyone back to their rooms and close the curtains.
00:06:27Whatever happens, no one comes on deck.
00:06:30Yes, sir.
00:06:42Everything I have is thanks to her.
00:07:25Henry, good to see you again.
00:07:27How are you feeling?
00:07:30Oh, you know, the usual.
00:07:33Doctor says a few more months at best.
00:07:38Prius, have you given my proposal any thought?
00:07:41Yes.
00:07:42I already spoke with my father.
00:07:44And while he did not give me his support, I've decided to do it anyways.
00:07:49Henry, I'll marry your grandson.
00:07:51And in return, you help me grow legs.
00:08:01Then we have a deal.
00:08:03I'll give you what you need to become human.
00:08:05And in return, you marry my grandson for three years.
00:08:10And then in three years' time, I shall be free.
00:08:13Thank you, Henry.
00:08:15No, Freya.
00:08:18Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:08:21The sea is unforgiving.
00:08:22But you've protected my family all these years.
00:08:26I feel ashamed to even ask for more.
00:08:28But Anderson is my only grandson.
00:08:32Please help me take care of him.
00:08:34I will, Henry.
00:08:36I promise.
00:08:37I promise.
00:08:57Anderson, according to your grandfather's will, you must marry the woman of his choosing.
00:09:01If you wish to inherit Lockwood Enterprises and the entire estate.
00:09:06Marriage?
00:09:08Grandpa was serious about that?
00:09:13He really wants me to marry a stranger?
00:09:41Hello, Anderson.
00:09:43I'm saying.
00:09:47I'm saying.
00:09:49Anderson, you lucky dog?
00:09:50I swear, I've never seen a woman this beautiful in my life.
00:09:52She's smoking hot.
00:10:00She's obviously just a gold digger.
00:10:01I've seen plenty.
00:10:04I'm not going to marry her.
00:10:07I'm sorry, Anderson, but if you refuse to marry Miss Freya, then according to the will,
00:10:10your grandfather's entire estate will pass to his brothers and your uncles.
00:10:14He's a fucking man, child.
00:10:16He'll run off with him in the ground.
00:10:17Henry should have left the estate to us.
00:10:23Anderson, you can't let your grandfather's shipping empire fall into the hands of those
00:10:26old vultures.
00:10:28Just marry her first, secure the inheritance, and figure out the rest later.
00:10:34Damn it.
00:10:35Fine.
00:10:36I'll marry her.
00:10:41Don't think you've won.
00:10:42To me, you're nothing but a greedy, shameless little gold digger who somehow manipulated my
00:10:46grandfather into giving you what you wanted.
00:10:48That's not true.
00:10:50I'm marrying you because I made a promise to your grandfather to help you and support
00:10:54you.
00:10:56You?
00:10:57Help me?
00:10:58I know all about women like you.
00:11:00All you do is go shopping, drink matcha, and do Pilates.
00:11:02You haven't worked a day in your life.
00:11:04How could you possibly help me?
00:11:07What's Pilates and matcha?
00:11:11Look, just stay out of my way, okay?
00:11:13This is a contract marriage.
00:11:14You're not my real wife, and I will never love you.
00:11:22Humans really are weird.
00:12:02Seriously?
00:12:03Charles 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, not some damn pie.
00:12:27Get out.
00:12:31But you haven't eaten in hours.
00:12:33I said I don't want it.
00:12:43Ow!
00:12:44You're so clumsy.
00:12:46Let me see that.
00:12:48I'm alright.
00:12:53How 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 going to make me fall for you?
00:13:00Why 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.
00:13:14I don't have time to coddle 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.
00:13:38I gave you my best.
00:13:40I even fell in love with you.
00:13:41But all my love still wasn't enough to thaw your heart.
00:13:49Anderson, we need that exclusive west coast route.
00:13:51Today, our conserving conductor ship is already locked into that corridor.
00:13:55If we miss the window and breach the contract, the 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, 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.
00:15:03God, he'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?
00:15:26Who 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!
00:16:16Fine, 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.
00:16:26No boat can dock in this weather.
00:16:27You hear that?
00:16:28You're lying to me, aren't you?
00:16:29My son isn't coming!
00:16:42All right, Taylor says it.
00:16:44Shh.
00:16:45Look.
00:17:11I see my son!
00:17:16Right on time.
00:17:24August!
00:17:26I can't believe this.
00:17:27You're actually back.
00:17:28Are you okay?
00:17:29Are you hurt?
00:17:30Dad, I'm okay.
00:17:33You got lucky this time.
00:17:35What do you want?
00:17:54Lady Freya, I'm sorry for the trouble.
00:17:56I didn't know these were your friends.
00:17:58How many times do I have to tell you, Jack?
00:18:00Stop kidnapping me.
00:18:03Sorry, it won't happen again.
00:18:06Who is she?
00:18:07She'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.
00:18:25My 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.
00:19:17Three 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.
00:19:31Only four days left to go.
00:19:38Anderson, congrats, 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?
00:19:52Appreciate 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?
00:20:00Why 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, everyone 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.
00:20:15Enough!
00:20:17Freya is my wife.
00:20:18She's the lady of the Lockwood house.
00:20:20Besides, 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 instead of that gold digger you've got sitting at
00:20:45home.
00:20:49Anderson!
00:20:50Darling!
00:20:51It's been forever!
00:21:01Chloe?
00:21:02Chloe?
00:21:12How do I look, Anderson?
00:21:13Even better than you remember?
00:21:16Chloe?
00:21:17What 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.
00:21:52She'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 who's just after his money.
00:22:00Freya!
00:22:00Anderson!
00:22:01It's been so long.
00:22:03I miss you.
00:22:03Can we dance?
00:22:10You two should totally dance.
00:22:15Hey, Anderson.
00:22:16I got you a gift for 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?
00:22:41Can't you take her?
00:22:43Can't you take her?
00:22:44Can't you take her?
00:22:45You're my husband.
00:22:46I think.
00:22:47Jesus, Freya.
00:22:48Can you stop pestering me about such unimportant things?
00:22:50Chloe is hurt.

00:29:04You saw the lipstick on my collar
00:29:05You 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
00:29:18Pushed you away
00:29:19Treated you like nothing
00:29:21And 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
00:29:28You will never make me love you
00:29:32You don't have to love me, Anderson
00:29:34Not anymore
00:29:36Because soon, it'll all be over
00:29:39Right?
00:29:40You don't need my love
00:29:41You've got my grandfather's will
00:29:42That's all you ever wanted
00:29:44The Lockwood money
00:29:45You're just a greedy fucking gold digger
00:29:48I'm trapped in a marriage
00:29:50With a woman I don't love
00:29:51And as far as I can tell
00:29:52You 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
00:29:57God, I'm so fucking sick of you
00:30:00Anderson
00:30:01If you paid even a little attention to me
00:30:03The last three years
00:30:04You'd know that it was never about the money
00:30:06Give it a few more days, Anderson
00:30:08You'll get your wish
00:30:33We're almost there
00:30:35Bear with me, Freya
00:30:47No
00:30:49No
00:30:50No
00:30:52No
00:31:09I endured agony beyond imagination just to become human.
00:31:12I 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.
00:36:55I'm so sorry, darling. Your husband and I are going to have a release of the night together.
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.

00:43:55Hurry.
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.

00:48:01I've decided to do it anyways.
00:48:03Henry, I'll marry your grandson.

00:48:24And then in three years' time, I shall be free.
00:48:28Thank you, Henry.
00:48:29No, Freya.
00:48:33Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:48:36The sea is unforgiving, but you've protected my family all these years.
00:48:40I feel ashamed to even ask for more, but Anderson is my only grandson.
00:48:47Please help me take care of him.
00:48:48I will, Henry.
00:48:51I 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.
