00:00:15I must be crazy, but I have to know the truth.
00:00:20No, light up, please!
00:00:26Sharks!
00:00:28No!
00:00:34I can't swim.
00:00:35Am I going to die here?
00:00:39Don't be afraid, Noah.
00:00:41Daddy will catch you.
00:00:42Dad.
00:00:52Dad was right.
00:00:54Mermaids are real.
00:01:14Mom, what's wrong?
00:01:15Noah, your father is dead.
00:01:20Otherwise, you are mine.
00:01:30Mom, what's wrong?
00:01:32Noah, your father is dead.
00:01:41Dad was called a madman his whole life because he said there were mermaids in the sea.
00:01:59I have to go to that island.
00:02:02Dad lived alone on this island for 10 years.
00:02:05No neighbors, no signal.
00:02:07Just him and his research.
00:02:08His death must be related with the research.
00:02:13Someone's been here.
00:02:15What are they looking for?
00:02:25What are they looking for?
00:02:43Mermaids' legs are connected by membranes.
00:02:46Once in water, they fuse into a powerful tail fin.
00:02:50They are extremely sensitive to music and firelight.
00:02:53On the night of the full moon, they emerge.
00:02:57Who are you?
00:02:57Relax.
00:02:58I'm Jack Turner, your father's former assistant.
00:03:00My father never mentioned having an assistant.
00:03:02Your father was a genius.
00:03:03We once captured a female mermaid together.
00:03:05She was beautiful but ferocious.
00:03:06After we put her in the basement tank, her legs instantly fused into a fin.
00:03:09What happened then?
00:03:10She bit through the chain and escaped back to the sea.
00:03:12After your father went into town for supplies, I got word that he had passed away.
00:03:15I'm sorry, kid.
00:03:15He was a good man.
00:03:16Why are you coming back now?
00:03:17I'm a PhD student research in genetically modified species.
00:03:19Your father's research notes are very important for my thesis.
00:03:21Also, I brought supplies.
00:03:22Canned food, batteries, power banks.
00:03:24There's no delivery on this island.
00:03:25I don't trust him.
00:03:26But he knows things about Dad.
00:03:28And I really do need supplies.
00:03:30I'll keep him around for now.
00:03:33Dad's note said,
00:03:34Full moon night, firelight.
00:03:35Will they come?
00:03:38Shit!
00:03:39It's not a mermaid!
00:03:40It's a shark!
00:03:42Am I going to die?
00:04:07Oh, God.
00:04:08This is real.
00:04:16Dad wasn't crazy.
00:04:18He never was.
00:04:22I'm alive.
00:04:25Blood?
00:04:26What happened?
00:04:28We're rich.
00:04:29This thing is definitely worth a fortune.
00:04:32It's the one who saved me last night.
00:04:34Stop!
00:04:36Are you crazy?
00:04:37He's not human.
00:04:38It took everything I had to knock him out from behind.
00:04:40This monster is incredibly strong.
00:04:42He saved my life.
00:04:43When I fell into the sea, he pulled me up from underwater.
00:04:46What?
00:04:46If it weren't for him, I'd have been eaten by sharks.
00:04:49Wait.
00:04:50A male mermaid actively saved you?
00:04:52That shows he has social skills, emotional awareness.
00:04:55This is even more valuable than I imagined.
00:04:57He is not your cash, pal.
00:04:59Fine.
00:04:59Fine.
00:05:00Fine.
00:05:00Don't kill him.
00:05:02But we have to deal with him, don't we?
00:05:04He's bleeding on the living room floor.
00:05:05At this rate, either he dies, or when he wakes up, we both die.
00:05:19I might better see you than we're draining the both crew over there.
00:05:23We'll put him in the tank.
00:05:25Water might help him recover faster.
00:05:26Dad's notes mention that.
00:05:27Recover faster?
00:05:28Then he'll tear us apart faster when he wakes up.
00:05:31Do you have a better idea?
00:05:38Three, two, one!
00:05:52Everything in Dad's notes is real.
00:05:56If he wakes up, pray he just dies.
00:05:58Dead, we can still make a fortune.
00:06:01I'll give you a name.
00:06:03I'll call you Kai.
00:06:05It means ocean.
00:06:14Damn.
00:06:14He's awake.
00:06:27When it's just the two of us, you're different.
00:06:46He's smiling?
00:06:48You're bonding with it?
00:06:49He's intelligent.
00:06:51You can see it in his eyes.
00:06:53I just see a big fish worth five million.
00:06:56All right, I'm heading up.
00:06:57We'll take turns watching.
00:06:58Monster, eat!
00:07:08Are you teasing me on purpose?
00:07:13Shit.
00:07:15Why are you taking so many photos?
00:07:16Who are you sending these photos to?
00:07:17For evidence of your business.
00:07:19It's called being prepared.
00:07:22When it's just the two of us, you're different.
00:07:25You hate him, don't you?
00:07:30Kai?
00:07:42Kai?
00:07:43What are you...
00:07:44Noah.
00:07:45Mine.
00:07:46He kissed me and said mine.
00:07:48Does he know what that word means?
00:07:50No matter what, he can't be locked in that tank forever.
00:07:53He has intelligence.
00:07:54He has emotions.
00:07:55He's not an experiment.
00:07:56Jack, we should let him go.
00:07:59What did you say?
00:07:59We have photos.
00:08:00We have dad's journals.
00:08:01We already have enough evidence.
00:08:02Let him go.
00:08:03This is the most significant discovery of the century, Noah.
00:08:05You can't ruin this business because of your damn sentimentality.
00:08:07He's not business.
00:08:08He's an intelligent being.
00:08:09He saved my life.
00:08:10Photos can be called fakes.
00:08:11Your dad's journals are worthless in academia.
00:08:13A living specimen is the only proof.
00:08:16You hear that?
00:08:17He senses something.
00:08:19What he senses is your stupidity.
00:08:24I said, let him go.
00:08:26This is my father's house.
00:08:27I'm in charge here.
00:08:30Don't do anything crazy.
00:08:32You're exactly like your idiot father.
00:08:34Stubborn fools.
00:08:35He died because of his soft heart.
00:08:37Today, you'll meet the same fate.
00:08:39You know how my father died?
00:08:40Enough talk.
00:08:41Move aside or I'll kill you.
00:08:47I'll count to three.
00:08:49Three?
00:08:50Even if you kill me, I won't move.
00:08:53Two?
00:09:01One?
00:09:08One?
00:09:26If you fear me, kill me.
00:09:34I won't kill you. Otherwise, you are mine.
00:09:53Come with me. Where? You're hurt. We should treat that first.
00:10:10This is Dad's old phone?
00:10:20Sent to Mom, I might be in danger. Protect Noah.
00:10:34You know my father?
00:10:38I won't let anyone hurt you again.
00:10:43He came to my door on his own. He's curious about everything.
00:10:47I tried to teach him to wave hello. His learning speed far exceeds that of a human toddler.
00:10:54A genius. Less than 20 seconds. His spatial reasoning is astonishing.
00:11:06Noah.
00:11:09Yes! That's my son! Noah!
00:11:12Noah. Noah.
00:11:16Noah, if you're watching this, you need to prepare yourself.
00:11:22Noah, this is biologically impossible.
00:11:25He only started changing dramatically after seeing your photo.
00:11:29You triggered his maturation. He has chosen you.
00:11:33He evolved into his complete form for me?
00:11:37Take care of yourself, Noah. And take care of him.
00:11:45I won't let anyone hurt you again.
00:11:48A group came today. They captured another mermaid. A female.
00:12:13Jack couldn't have been Dad's assistant. He was one of them. One of the ones who brought that female mermaid.
00:12:17The ones who needed someone to fix her.
00:12:18The basement tank wasn't for observation. It was for imprisonment. Dad didn't die of a heart attack. That was just
00:12:25a lie they made up.
00:12:26And Kai killed Jack.
00:12:28And Kai killed Jack. For the first time, I think he did the right thing.
00:12:32I think he did the right thing.
00:12:39Don't. Leave.
00:12:41But I know Kai can't stay here. This island isn't safe anymore. Those people will come back.
00:12:57You have to go. Those people will come sooner or later. I've already sent a distress signal. A boat will
00:13:03come for me.
00:13:04But you can't be here. If they see you, Noah, go.
00:13:21Mr. Reed, the Coast Guard sent me to pick you up.
00:13:34This isn't the direction to Island City.
00:13:37Where is Jack?
00:13:38I don't know what you're talking about.
00:13:39Don't play dumb. Jack came to this island for your father's research and then he disappeared. You're the last person
00:13:45who saw him.
00:13:47One more time. Where's Jack?
00:13:51He's dead.
00:13:55Who killed him? You?
00:14:00I'll count to three.
00:14:03One. Two.
00:14:13Get in!
00:14:17Don't move.
00:14:30Kai, look at me!
00:14:33No.
00:14:35Okay.
00:14:38Why did you come back? I told you to go! You could've...
00:14:41Won't leave.
00:14:58I told you to go!
00:14:59No!
00:15:01Mr. Reed, there's a man outside.
00:15:04What?
00:15:05He's been sitting on the steps outside. He only says one word, your name.
00:15:10Noah.
00:15:12Noah.
00:15:19Why are you still here? Your skin is sunburned. You're going to die.
00:15:24Not leave.
00:15:25Let him go.
00:15:26Mom, what are you doing?
00:15:28I'm saving you. Look at yourself. With a man of unknown origin.
00:15:33He saved my life!
00:15:34Just like your father thought he was doing the right thing. How did your father end up? Have you forgotten?
00:15:43I found you.
00:15:44No!
00:15:45No!
00:15:50Come find me.
00:15:52If you can.
00:16:03I found you.
00:16:12I found you.
00:16:28I found you.
00:16:36I found you.
00:17:04How did you get here?
00:17:05How did you... How did you get here?
00:17:08By plane.
00:17:13You can talk.
00:17:15Full sentences.
00:17:17Three years of study.
00:17:21She's the female mermaid dad mentioned in the video?
00:17:25Serena.
00:17:26She needs water.
00:17:37I love you.
00:17:38I won't pretend I don't.
00:17:41I'm not human. I'm not going to dance around the word.
00:17:46Kai, a lot has changed in these three years. My situation is complicated.
00:17:54It's not what you think.
00:17:57I understand. Serena, we're leaving.
00:17:59Stop.
00:18:02I want you.
00:18:04I've only ever wanted you.
00:18:08That man. Marcus. He's with Oride. I'm using him. For three years I've been pretending to be with...
00:18:16ORD? A government secret research facility. My father used to work there. He discovered the truth and wanted to expose
00:18:23it.
00:18:23Then they killed him.
00:18:24Do you know why I went for a PhD? I needed an identity to infiltrate it. I needed to find
00:18:29evidence proof that my father was murdered.
00:18:33Marcus is in the core department. He has top level clearance. Getting close to him was the only way.
00:18:41Do you hate him?
00:18:43Every second.
00:18:48You don't have to carry this alone.
00:18:57Kai, there's one more thing.
00:18:59Inside Oride. There might be other mermaids imprisoned.
00:19:03How many?
00:19:04I'm not sure, but I heard sounds in the B-level basement. Clicking sounds. Not machines. It's language.
00:19:13Serena!
00:19:16I secretly recorded this in Oride's B-section. Human ears can't hear it, but you should be able to.
00:19:27Serena!
00:19:33What did you hear?
00:19:35Three voices. Two females. One child.
00:19:40They're screaming. Calling for help. The voices are very weak. They're about to give up.
00:19:45Serena, she went through that too.
00:19:46I know. Dad mentioned it in the video.
00:19:48You don't know the whole story. She was captured as a child.
00:19:51Locked in an iron cage for an entire year. Your father contacted-
00:19:54She's a queen.
00:19:56The highest ranking being in our kind. But she was tortured so badly she forgot who she was.
00:20:02Take me there. I want to save them.
00:20:08No. That's a military-grade security facility. Rushing in is suicide.
00:20:11So let them continue rotting inside. Not giving up. The timing isn't right. I need more intel.
00:20:15If we mess it up, the ones inside are finished too.
00:20:18Give me a deadline.
00:20:19Let me first figure out which floor they're on, how many there are, how the security rotates.
00:20:22Then we act.
00:20:24Because of me?
00:20:25Because you're my mate.
00:20:27You made breakfast? I lived in the human world for three years. Learned quite a bit.
00:20:34Better than what I make.
00:20:39What exactly is her status? You said she's a queen.
00:20:42In our society, the queen is the highest ranking existence. She has four or five betas around her.
00:20:46Nest. When a queen matures, she enters a nesting period. She chooses her mate, forms a harem.
00:20:50Hera? Multiple males?
00:20:52Four or five is normal. An older queen can have 20.
00:20:54Not all are used for mating. Most are guardians.
00:20:57So right now, she's about to enter her first nesting period. She'll become unstable. Instinct
00:21:02will drive her to seduce any suitable male. Including humans?
00:21:05Humans have no resistance to a queen's allure. That's also why I can't leave her alone in the sea.
00:21:09What about you? Before, were you also a queen's beta?
00:21:13A long time ago, my queen was killed by humans. So were my brothers. After that, I met your father.
00:21:20Saw your photo. My body changed. I evolved from a beta into an alpha.
00:21:24Because of me? Because of me? Because you're my mate. My instinct made the
00:21:29choice. Irreversible.
00:21:41Kai, put on a shirt!
00:21:45Surprise! Guess who got promoted? Senior research angelist! I made it!
00:21:52Congratulations.
00:21:55You have guests?
00:21:56My friend. From back home.
00:21:58You never mentioned having friends from back home?
00:22:02We've only known each other for a year, Marcus. There's a lot you don't know.
00:22:05Hello. I'm Marcus. Not much of a talker. He had throat surgery. His voice is different from most people's.
00:22:15And this is...
00:22:17Also a friend. She has skin issues. Needs to soak in water often.
00:22:21Her eyes seem a bit unusual.
00:22:23You're making her uncomfortable.
00:22:26Your voice...
00:22:26After effects of the throat surgery. I told you.
00:22:29Marcus, why didn't you call before coming?
00:22:32I came to celebrate. But you look busy. Another time.
00:22:38That was too close.
00:22:41There's a smell on him. What kind of smell?
00:22:44The same smell as the people who captured my kind.
00:22:50Did he touch you?
00:22:54Six months. You've been with him for six months. Has he touched you?
00:22:58Kissed. To keep up the cover. That's all.
00:23:01If he touches even one finger on you again, I will kill him.
00:23:06You can't kill anyone. Not here. Not now.
00:23:11Then don't let him touch you.
00:23:18It won't happen again, I promise you.
00:23:23The surveillance shuts down for maintenance at midnight. We have two hours.
00:23:42Come in.
00:23:53Get out. Now!
00:24:03Your arm!
00:24:04It's fine. She can't control herself.
00:24:09What just happened?
00:24:11Is that the nesting response?
00:24:13Her body is looking for suitable betas.
00:24:15A queen in nesting releases a signal scent, fluorescent sound waves.
00:24:18Any male who senses it will be drawn to her.
00:24:19Including you?
00:24:20I'm an alpha.
00:24:21Alphas have no physical response to a queen.
00:24:23We only respond to our own mates.
00:24:24But betas are different. And humans are different.
00:24:26You're saying if a human male gets close to her...
00:24:27He'll lose his mind.
00:24:28So she can't leave this apartment.
00:24:30Especially she can't be seen by your boyfriend.
00:24:35Does she know what happened to herself?
00:24:39Yes. That's why she's scared.
00:24:51From now on, when she glows, don't go near her.
00:24:55Don't look into her eyes.
00:24:58They're behind this door.
00:25:00Now that I've been promoted, I should show you what our department really does.
00:25:11Look at this!
00:25:14What species is this from?
00:25:16Classified. You know how it is.
00:25:27That's not a specimen container. That's a live transport box.
00:25:33They're behind this door.
00:25:35They're behind this door.
00:25:54Reed.
00:25:56You are Marcus's assistant.
00:25:59You don't know me, but I know you.
00:26:01I also knew your father.
00:26:03I don't know what you're talking about.
00:26:04Don't act.
00:26:05You were in the B4 corridor at 1147 last night.
00:26:07You don't have clearance for that area.
00:26:09Surveillance has blind spots, but not every corner is blind.
00:26:11The game you're playing isn't safe.
00:26:12They've noticed you.
00:26:12Who's noticed me?
00:26:13Why do you think Marcus got promoted?
00:26:14Not because his papers were good?
00:26:16Because the project he manages entered a new phase.
00:26:18A project that's been ongoing since World War II.
00:26:20Your father got close to these things too.
00:26:22You know how he ended up.
00:26:24What are you trying to say?
00:26:25I'm saying you're not the only one who wants to open that door.
00:26:30Don't drive home tonight.
00:26:32Walk.
00:26:33Slow down when you pass 7th street.
00:26:39You've been following me for six blocks.
00:26:41Say what you want to say.
00:26:43Not here.
00:26:43Let's go upstairs.
00:26:48He smells like my kind.
00:26:52Alpha.
00:26:53You're Alpha.
00:26:55Kai!
00:26:56Put him down.
00:26:57He might be friendly.
00:27:01Start from the beginning.
00:27:02I was originally a veteranian.
00:27:03Marine mammals.
00:27:04Five years ago, O-Ride recruited me.
00:27:06Said it was a standard species protection program.
00:27:07They called the project Leviathan in Sperma 2.
00:27:09Initially, the military found a few mermaid corpses.
00:27:11Then it became live capture.
00:27:13Then,
00:27:13Sedaran and Marshala.
00:27:14Did my tetisper.
00:27:14Gene extraction, hybridizations, and didn't want to harm them.
00:27:17But after he got access to the core data, he wanted to make everything public.
00:27:19Then they killed him.
00:27:20They first smeared him as a mental patient and revoked all his academic credentials.
00:27:23Then they arranged for him to retire to that isolated island.
00:27:25He took away some key data.
00:27:26They thought he would quietly disappear.
00:27:27But your father was too smart.
00:27:27He started secretly contacting the outside world.
00:27:29Those poachers.
00:27:29The ones who brought the injured field capture and transport.
00:27:31After your father got in touch with that female or I deemed him uncontrollable.
00:27:33How many are still locked inside?
00:27:34Twelve.
00:27:34Five betas.
00:27:35Sedated long term.
00:27:36Their minds are already broken.
00:27:37Three juvenile females.
00:27:37One omega.
00:27:38Two adult alphas.
00:27:39And one.
00:27:39A young male.
00:27:40Born in the lab.
00:27:40Has never seen the sky.
00:27:41He's top secret.
00:27:42Requires level 7 clearance and above to access.
00:27:44Why is he so special?
00:27:44Because now he's a hybrid.
00:27:45Because the filtration only keeps them barely alive.
00:27:46Their skin is cracking.
00:27:53I signed an NDA.
00:27:54I can't leave.
00:27:54But you.
00:27:55You have the motivation.
00:27:56You have the identity.
00:27:57And you have him.
00:27:58What else should I know?
00:27:59Marcus Shaw is not some senior research analyst.
00:28:01He's the scientific director of the entire mermaid project.
00:28:04He's known who you have been since day one.
00:28:30Six months.
00:28:31I thought I was using him.
00:28:33Every disgusting smile.
00:28:35Every reluctant touch.
00:28:36I thought I was the one acting.
00:28:38But from start to finish.
00:28:41I was the one being played.
00:28:44Does it hurt?
00:28:46My hand doesn't hurt.
00:28:48Other places do.
00:28:50Here.
00:28:51He said they're here.
00:28:53Ethan said he can cooperate from the inside.
00:28:55Shut down B4 surveillance signal for 15 minutes.
00:28:57Unlock the emergency passage.
00:28:58But we only have that 15 minute window.
00:29:01Enough.
00:29:02Not enough.
00:29:04There are armed guards, biometric locks, escape.
00:29:07Every extra day we wait, someone inside dies another day.
00:29:11Noah.
00:29:17Tomorrow at 3am, we go in.
00:29:36No matter what happens tomorrow, you, you have to live.
00:29:41What about you?
00:29:44Kai, what about you?
00:29:47My life has never been mine.
00:29:49It belongs to you.
00:29:51Don't say that.
00:29:56We come back alive together.
00:29:58That's an order.
00:30:01Roger that.
00:30:06Uniforms are real.
00:30:06The access cards will get you through the first checkpoints.
00:30:08The fourth B4's door I'll open from the inside.
00:30:10I'll enter the surveillance room at 2.55.
00:30:12Shut down B4's camera fed at 3 Klugger Sharp.
00:30:14You'll have 15 minutes.
00:30:14Evacuation route?
00:30:16Southside Freight Passage leads to the underground parking garage.
00:30:20I parked a van in spot C7.
00:30:22Keys are behind the left front fender.
00:30:27She's conserving strength.
00:30:28She's capable of more than we imagine.
00:30:37Let's go.
00:30:45Serena, you stay here and wait for our signal.
00:30:57Stay close to me and try not to talk.
00:31:04Go ahead.
00:31:13Ethan said he'd open the fourth door from the inside.
00:31:15We have to wait for our signal.
00:31:30Seawater.
00:31:31And blood.
00:31:41It's okay.
00:31:46My goodness, all of them are your people.
00:32:01Are you still alive?
00:32:05They can't hear anymore.
00:32:08Their minds are completely broken.
00:32:16Help.
00:32:19Kai!
00:32:20We can't make noise.
00:32:22We only have seven minutes left.
00:32:25We only have seven minutes left.
00:32:43Noah.
00:32:44He looks like you.
00:32:50Someone's coming.
00:32:52It's exactly the same.
00:33:00Who are you?
00:33:11Welcome to B4, Noah.
00:33:12Noah.
00:33:12I've been waiting a long time for this day.
00:33:16I wouldn't do that.
00:33:20Kai!
00:33:23You really thought I didn't know?
00:33:25From the day you first set foot in this building, I knew you would come.
00:33:27You used me!
00:33:29No.
00:33:29I'm studying you.
00:33:30You're living data, Noah.
00:33:31A pure, natural variable.
00:33:34What are you talking about?
00:33:37Your father, James Reed, wasn't just a scientist.
00:33:41He was a core team member of the Leviathan Project.
00:33:44Genetic engineering division.
00:33:45So we kicked him out.
00:33:46There was a mermaid queen who gave birth during an experiment.
00:33:49Twins.
00:33:49We were told one of them died, but that was a lie.
00:33:51He stole one of the babies, disappeared with him, raised him as human,
00:33:55and let him think he was normal.
00:33:56That baby was you, Noah.
00:34:01And that is your twin brother.
00:34:05The one who stayed.
00:34:08No, this can't be true.
00:34:13Put him in.
00:34:14You're insane!
00:34:16You have half mermaid genes.
00:34:1822 years, never activated, because you've never truly come close to the water of death.
00:34:23Your father was too careful, raising you on dry land away from anything that might trigger the mutation.
00:34:28But genes don't disappear.
00:34:29They're just waiting for the right stimulus.
00:34:32Drowning is the most effective trigger.
00:34:36Let him go!
00:34:40Noah, soon you'll be just like your people.
00:34:59Look, a miracle's about to happen.
00:35:06See? You just need to drown him.
00:35:09Gene activation successful.
00:35:10Gill slips complete.
00:35:12Skin fluorescent normal.
00:35:13The only hybrid to survive to adulthood.
00:35:21Soulmate pairing, living specimen A and specimen B.
00:35:24Genetic compatibility test results are in.
00:35:26Perfect match.
00:35:27Dream on.
00:35:28Of course, the most valuable data requires your cooperation.
00:35:30Bean fusion response during natural mating.
00:35:32This is data we've never obtained.
00:35:33We already have data on mermaid reproduction,
00:35:35but the union of a hybrid and a blut alpha.
00:35:37This will be the ultimate breakthrough of the Leviathan project.
00:35:39Touch a single hair on his head, I dare you.
00:35:41I was hoping you'd cooperate willingly.
00:35:48Your queen friend.
00:35:49Ethan brought her into the building, thought I wouldn't know.
00:35:51Too bad he underestimated this building's surveillance density.
00:35:56So, you cooperate with data collection.
00:35:58I promise not to harm her.
00:36:00Otherwise, not now.
00:36:07Good. A wise choice.
00:36:09Fine.
00:36:10Good. A wise choice.
00:36:26Who?
00:36:32Your nightmare.
00:36:34Serena, make it quick.
00:36:35What kind of monster is this?
00:36:37I can't even control my own body.
00:36:40He didn't need to let.
00:36:45Catch her!
00:36:51Well done, Serena.
00:36:52I'll go rescue them first.
00:36:58Can you walk?
00:36:59Yes.
00:37:04Kai!
00:37:05They're helping us!
00:37:06When the control wears off, they'll remember everything.
00:37:08They'll become threats.
00:37:09Help him bless us.
00:37:18She can't last much longer!
00:37:19Go!
00:37:30Southgate exit!
00:37:42They mobilized.
00:37:46A serious security incident occurred tonight.
00:37:49A group of criminals broke into a federal marine research facility and stole highly dangerous
00:37:54experimental materials.
00:37:56Authorities warn the public.
00:37:57If you encounter suspicious individuals, report immediately, and do not occur.
00:38:12They've labeled us as criminals.
00:38:17Dangerous experimental materials.
00:38:19They won't even use the word beings.
00:38:37She needs seawater.
00:38:38If this continues, her internal organs will start failing.
00:38:41Where's the nearest coast?
00:38:42Three hours south by car, but every major highway has alerts now.
00:38:44We'll have to take back roads.
00:38:49This should last you a while.
00:38:50I need to go the other way, to Mexico, find my contacts.
00:38:53ORD won't let me go.
00:38:55Don't thank me.
00:38:55Get the truth out.
00:38:56That's why I took this risk.
00:38:58Protect him.
00:39:20Will you come with me?
00:39:33I'll go with you.
00:40:04This isn't a primitive cave.
00:40:07This is a civilization.
00:40:12Now what's his a miter?
00:40:18They're kneeling to you.
00:40:21It's been away too long.
00:40:22I thought I was dead.
00:40:24I'm dead.
00:40:26I'm dead.
00:40:36Hmm.
00:40:39An alpha needs his omega.
00:40:42Tell me.
00:40:43In our civilization, the union of an alpha and an omega is not just mating.
00:40:47It's a soul level lock.
00:40:48Once completed, irreversible.
00:40:50My life will be bound to yours.
00:40:52If you're hurt, I'll feel it.
00:40:53If you die, I can't live either.
00:40:55What if I say I'm willing?
00:41:15My love is a brand.
00:41:17There's no turning back.
00:41:19You are mine.
00:41:20I am yours.
00:41:22I know.
00:41:39What did he say?
00:41:43He says,
00:41:44You must leave.
00:41:45Your appearance will draw human attention.
00:41:47If there's too much activity, humans might discover this settlement.
00:42:04Thank you, bathtub.
00:42:07That bathtub was too small.
00:42:09You deserve the whole ocean.
00:42:15A brief piece.
00:42:17I should cherish it.
00:42:19I should cherish it.
00:42:36There are 12 people still locked in those tanks.
00:42:39One of them is my brother.
00:42:50You just escaped from that place.
00:42:52They almost killed you.
00:42:53They held you underwater to drown you.
00:42:54Do you want to go back?
00:42:54So what?
00:42:55We hide on this island forever?
00:42:59I'm going back.
00:43:01Back where?
00:43:03R.I.D.
00:43:04I'm going to get them all out.
00:43:07You're insane.
00:43:08I've never been more clear-headed than now.
00:43:10You just escaped from that place.
00:43:11They almost killed you.
00:43:12They held you underwater to drown you.
00:43:13Do you want to go back?
00:43:14So what?
00:43:14We hide on this island forever?
00:43:16Pretend those 12 people don't exist?
00:43:17Pretend I don't have a brother who's been locked in a tank since birth?
00:43:19I can't lose you!
00:43:22I spent three years finding you.
00:43:24And every ounce of strength not losing you.
00:43:27And now you want me to watch you walk into their trap?
00:43:31We can't be selfish.
00:43:33Your people are being slaughtered.
00:43:34Maybe our mission isn't to have children on a deserted island.
00:43:37It's to save them.
00:43:49You were right.
00:43:50We can't be selfish.
00:43:57You came back.
00:44:00I went to the tribe.
00:44:03I asked them to send warriors.
00:44:05Told them about Ored.
00:44:0612 imprisoned tribe members, hybrid experiments, the genetic weapons program.
00:44:09What did they say?
00:44:11The elders need to discuss.
00:44:13But they didn't refuse.
00:44:15You were right.
00:44:16We can't be selfish.
00:44:19I'd rather die fighting than rot in false peace.
00:44:25The elders want us to go to Glondis, the tribe where I was born.
00:44:28It's one of the largest underwater cities.
00:44:30If we're to gather warriors, it must be approved by the council there.
00:44:33How far?
00:44:35How far?
00:44:35Two days and two nights.
00:44:37Non-stop swimming.
00:44:40Leave tomorrow?
00:44:41Now.
00:44:46You've brought an outsider into the sacred place.
00:44:49He's not an outsider.
00:44:51He's my Omega.
00:44:54Almost there.
00:44:58This is where Kai grew up.
00:45:05They're kneeling to you?
00:45:07I've been away too long.
00:45:08They thought I was dead.
00:45:09Kai!
00:45:10You bastard!
00:45:11Five years!
00:45:11No word for five years!
00:45:12Darion, I'm back.
00:45:13Kai.
00:45:14You brought a human to Glendis?
00:45:16He's my mate.
00:45:19Kai.
00:45:20You've brought an outsider into the sacred place.
00:45:22He's not an outsider.
00:45:24He's my Omega.
00:45:25A hybrid.
00:45:27Half human, half mermaid.
00:45:28You've chosen a mate who can never fully belong to our world.
00:45:31He belongs to me.
00:45:32That's enough.
00:45:33The purpose of your visit?
00:45:35All right is holding 12 of our people captive.
00:45:37I request that Glendis send warriors.
00:45:38We will discuss it at tomorrow's council meeting.
00:45:41Until then, do not let him touch anything.
00:45:44You call this surviving?
00:45:45Our territory shrinks every year.
00:45:47You left for five years.
00:45:48Now you return and demands we die for your impulse?
00:45:5112 of our people are locked in an underground human laboratory.
00:45:54Some have already lost their minds from torture.
00:45:56And there's a child among them who has never seen the sea since birth.
00:45:59That is human business.
00:46:00We have been hiding for thousands of years.
00:46:02Precisely because we don't interfere, we have survived until now.
00:46:05Survive?
00:46:05You call this surviving?
00:46:07Our territory shrinks every year.
00:46:08Children are taught to fear the surface from birth.
00:46:10This isn't survival, it's slow death.
00:46:12You left for five years.
00:46:13Now you return and demands we die for your impulse?
00:46:15And you've chosen a hybrid as your mate.
00:46:17Kai, he's not for your bloodline, should continue the purest gene.
00:46:20You want to choose a mate for me?
00:46:22This isn't a personal matter.
00:46:23It concerns the future of our kind.
00:46:25He is my future.
00:46:27Anyone who wants to touch him goes through me first.
00:46:32This contains all the records of what human governments have done to our people.
00:46:36Every experiment.
00:46:37Every name of the dead.
00:46:38If we don't fight back, the next one taken could be your child.
00:46:41I'm not here to beg, I'm here to tell you.
00:46:43The war has already begun.
00:46:44Whether you join or not.
00:46:48You have your mother's fire.
00:46:51Perhaps we have forgotten the meaning of fire.
00:46:53At dawn, Glanders will prepare warriors for war.
00:46:57Kai.
00:46:59Your scent has changed.
00:47:01What?
00:47:08Kai.
00:47:11Your scent has changed.
00:47:13What?
00:47:15That scent?
00:47:16Your mate?
00:47:17Yes.
00:47:18He's about to enter heat.
00:47:20Kai, his scent.
00:47:21You have to take him away from the tribe.
00:47:22I know.
00:47:23What's happening?
00:47:24Your body is changing.
00:47:25I need to take you somewhere safe.
00:47:29I can't control it.
00:47:30Don't try to control it.
00:47:32Your omega instincts are awakening.
00:47:34This is natural.
00:47:38Kai.
00:47:44Kai?
00:47:46Wait until all this is over.
00:47:48Why?
00:47:48I don't want you carrying a child in the middle of a war.
00:47:51Then you better come back alive.
00:47:52I will.
00:47:59Wait for me.
00:48:02Glanis can provide 200 warriors.
00:48:04But we alone aren't enough.
00:48:05Oryd has military-grade weaponry.
00:48:07I know.
00:48:08That's why I didn't just notify Glanis.
00:48:12The same message traveled across the entire ocean.
00:48:15The message was just one sentence.
00:48:17We stand together, no longer silent.
00:48:19Kai, you sent out the call before we even left?
00:48:22On the fourth day on the deserted island.
00:48:23The first thing I did after leaving Noah.
00:48:28The way you look in that, it's not like the Kai I know.
00:48:31I've always been like this.
00:48:32It's just that what you saw before was the me in front of you.
00:48:37I'm coming with you.
00:48:39Your body hasn't recovered yet.
00:48:41The heat-
00:48:41That's my brother locked in there.
00:48:42You stay behind to coordinate communications.
00:48:44No going to the front line.
00:48:46Fine.
00:48:49Wait for me.
00:48:50This is no longer the youth who silently watched me from the tank.
00:48:53He is a leader ready to fight for his people.
00:49:22I am a piece of Mossad.
00:49:24Your guns aren't necessary.
00:49:25What are you doing?
00:49:26I came to negotiate.
00:49:29All righty's orders.
00:49:30Detain all entities.
00:49:38They've detained the peace envoy.
00:49:43War.
00:49:52It's begun.
00:49:56Abandon ship!
00:50:0278 vessels.
00:50:03More than expected.
00:50:05Not enough.
00:50:08Sir!
00:50:08All targets have simultaneously disappeared from sonar.
00:50:11It's like they just vanished into thin water.
00:50:13What?
00:50:15All hands.
00:50:16Emergency is set.
00:50:32Abandon ship!
00:50:39Thirdly annihilated.
00:50:41Fifthly the serpent to retreat.
00:50:42Massive explosion detected in the eastern sea.
00:50:44Not ours.
00:50:45It's human death charger.
00:50:47The east.
00:50:48That's...
00:50:48Queen Serena's settlement.
00:50:51They control the narrative.
00:51:00Serena.
00:51:03They bombed the entire settlement.
00:51:06117 lives.
00:51:08Just to eliminate potential threats.
00:51:20Massive unidentified sea creature attacks military vessel.
00:51:24Rescue efforts underway.
00:51:26Government spokesman says these entities are highly aggressive and pose a significant threat to human safety.
00:51:31The Department of Defense has authorized the use of deadly force against all non-human aquatic entities.
00:51:37No news story mentions the 12 imprisoned mermaids.
00:51:40No news story mentions Ored or the 117 lives of the eastern settlement.
00:51:44They control the narrative.
00:51:46Then we take the narrative back.
00:51:59Bombs won't solve anything.
00:52:01You can sink a hundred submarines.
00:52:03They'll build a thousand.
00:52:04The only way to end this is to let the whole world see the truth.
00:52:07Hmm?
00:52:07How?
00:52:08Global broadcast.
00:52:09Expose everything about Ored.
00:52:11Experiment records, imprisonment footage, death lists.
00:52:14Everything.
00:52:15You want us to expose ourselves to all of humanity?
00:52:17You're already exposed.
00:52:1978 submarines sunk.
00:52:20The whole world knows you exist.
00:52:22The question now isn't whether to expose.
00:52:24It's who defines what you are.
00:52:25The government or yourselves.
00:52:28I don't like this plan.
00:52:29I know.
00:52:30But you're right.
00:52:33Hey, can you hear me?
00:52:34I'm in Mexico.
00:52:35Safe.
00:52:36What do you need?
00:52:36All the ORED internal files you have.
00:52:38Experiment records, surgery footage, internal communications, as much as you can get.
00:52:43I have five years of data backed up.
00:52:44But Noah, how are you going to release it?
00:52:47All the major media are silenced.
00:52:48I don't need major media.
00:52:49I just need one camera and an internet connection.
00:52:53This contains all the experiment records.
00:52:55Every name of those killed.
00:52:57We're going to Hawaii.
00:52:58Closest major city to the coast.
00:53:00I need to find someone willing to report this.
00:53:02You're sure someone will be willing?
00:53:04Ethan knows an independent documentary journalist.
00:53:06She's been tracking marine anomalies.
00:53:08How far?
00:53:08300 kilometers.
00:53:10We leave tomorrow.
00:53:27You should have stayed at Glendis.
00:53:29They killed my mates.
00:53:32I want to see the truth exposed with my own eyes.
00:53:39They should be here soon.
00:53:46Oh my God.
00:53:48Sophie, put it down for a moment.
00:53:50This is real.
00:53:52You weren't lying.
00:53:53This is really...
00:53:54My name is Noah Reed.
00:53:56I have a story to tell the world.
00:53:58Will you help me?
00:54:02Take me to the safe house.
00:54:03We're recording tonight.
00:54:05Ready?
00:54:05My name is Noah Reed.
00:54:06I am the son of Dr. James Reed.
00:54:08Three years ago, my father was murdered because he discovered a secret
00:54:10that in our oceans, there lives another intelligent species.
00:54:13The project codename is Leviathan.
00:54:14The executing agency is called Oride.
00:54:16In its basement level four right now,
00:54:17there are 12, 12 living beings locked in tanks.
00:54:20My name is Kai.
00:54:21You haven't run anything.
00:54:26The terrorist attacks you see in the news are cornered people fighting back.
00:54:30Their peace ambibi was arrested on the spot
00:54:32and the settlement was destroyed by depth bombs.
00:54:36Now, I'm going to show you what they really are.
00:54:47My name is Kai.
00:54:49I am not a monster.
00:54:50I am not a weapon.
00:54:52I am not an experiment.
00:54:54I am someone who loves someone.
00:54:56That's all.
00:55:00Done.
00:55:01It's out.
00:55:02It's going viral.
00:55:03Everyone's sharing it.
00:55:05Our IP is being traced.
00:55:06Oride, they've locked onto this location.
00:55:08How long?
00:55:11At most, two hours.
00:55:15Let them come.
00:55:21You haven't won anything.
00:55:23They're scared.
00:55:24They need to see it.
00:55:29Oh, my goodness.
00:55:30What a poor mermaid.
00:55:33Those who brutally kill living beings will be punished by the sea.
00:55:36A video claiming to expose a government secret project
00:55:39has received over 200 million views in the past six hours.
00:55:43The White House has declined to comment on the video's content,
00:55:46stating that it is investigating its authenticity.
00:55:48The Pentagon spokesperson claims the video is a deepfake,
00:55:50urging the public not to share.
00:55:52Free them!
00:55:53Free them!
00:56:01The UN Human Rights Council has announced an emergency closed-door session.
00:56:06Seven countries' parliaments, seven dings upon its government responses.
00:56:10Seven countries' parliaments are demanding its responses.
00:56:14Someone's coming.
00:56:15A black SUV.
00:56:17This is an elaborate hoax.
00:56:18Noah Reed himself is the best evidence, an unstable hybrid specimen.
00:56:22His father is a dismissed lumiturk, and he himself has suffered from delusions since childhood.
00:56:26As for the morphing video, folks, we live in an AI era where anything can be faked.
00:56:31He's scared.
00:56:31They need to see it.
00:56:32We meet again.
00:56:40Noah!
00:56:40Noah!
00:56:41Wake up!
00:56:41They're here!
00:56:42What?
00:56:43We meet again.
00:56:44I notified the Navy before I came.
00:56:46The area within two kilometers of this house is already sealed.
00:56:48You can kill me, but if you're getting away...
00:56:51Hand over the equipment.
00:56:52All of it.
00:56:52Original files, backups, chips.
00:56:54Everything.
00:56:54You can't...
00:56:55I have an emergency executive ordering signed by the President.
00:56:57In the name of national security threats, I can detain everyone present.
00:56:59Come back, Noah.
00:57:00You are the most valuable research subject.
00:57:03I promise you'll be treated well.
00:57:04Like how you treated those 12?
00:57:09Go!
00:57:15You can kill me.
00:57:17But you can't kill the truth.
00:57:20The video has already been seen by 200 million people.
00:57:23The files are already in the hands of journalists in 30 countries.
00:57:27Killing me will only prove that everything is true.
00:57:30You think you've won?
00:57:31You haven't won anything.
00:57:33Humans will be afraid.
00:57:34Fear turns to hate.
00:57:35In the end, you'll be hunted to extinction.
00:57:36That's the outcome you want to see.
00:57:37It's not inevitable.
00:57:38I've studied you for five years.
00:57:39I know this world better than you.
00:57:40Humans won't accept a species more powerful than themselves.
00:57:42They'll destroy it.
00:57:43Control.
00:57:43Not for protection.
00:57:44Last chance.
00:57:45Come back with me.
00:57:48Kaa!
00:57:54Three years ago, I learned one thing.
00:57:58Killing doesn't solve problems.
00:58:06You all saw it.
00:58:07He shot us.
00:58:09And we chose not to kill him.
00:58:11This is who we are.
00:58:14Why do you always throw yourself in front of me?
00:58:19Because you're mine.
00:58:23Open the door.
00:58:24Now.
00:58:26In view of the development trend in the past 72 hours,
00:58:30the Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2847,
00:58:35sending a special investigation team into the ORD facility
00:58:39to verify all allegations.
00:58:41Everyone stop what you're doing.
00:58:43From this moment, this facility is under UN supervision.
00:58:47Open the B4 section.
00:58:48Ma'am, that's a classified area.
00:58:49It requires...
00:58:50The Security Council resolutherized me to any area of this facility.
00:58:52Open the door.
00:58:53Now.
