Short filmTranscript
00:00:15I
00:00:15Must be crazy, but I have to know the truth
00:00:26Sharks
00:00:34I can't swim. Am I going to die here?
00:00:39Don't be afraid, Noah. Daddy will catch you.
00:00:42Dad
00:00:52Dad was right. Mermaids are real.
00:01:13Mom? What's wrong?
00:01:15Noah, your father is dead.
00:01:21Otherwise, you are mine.
00:01:30Mom? What's wrong?
00:01:33Noah, your father is dead.
00:01:35What? No, this isn't true, is it?
00:01:38Heart attack. The police said he had a heart attack on that godforsaken island. He was a complete lunaturk. He
00:01:43brought this on himself.
00:01:44He wasn't crazy. He was a top marine biologist. He must have been murdered.
00:01:47Enough. Stop with your conspiracy theories. Come back immediately and prepare for graduate school.
00:01:51I won't allow you to touch his disgusting research.
00:01:53No, I have to investigate Dad's death.
00:01:55Dad was called a madman his whole life because he said there were mermaids in the sea. I have to
00:02:00go to that island.
00:02:02Dad lived alone on this island for 10 years. No neighbors, no signal. Just him and his research. His death
00:02:09must be related with the research.
00:02:13Someone's been here. What are they looking for?
00:02:23My god.
00:02:26Dad, what did you hide here?
00:02:32They are real.
00:02:36Mermaids really exist.
00:02:41Monster!
00:02:44Mermaids' 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?
00:02:58Relax. I'm Jack Turner, your father's former assistant.
00:03:00My father never mentioned having an assistant.
00:03:02Your father was a genius. We once captured a female mermaid together. She was beautiful, but ferocious.
00:03:07After we put her in the basement tank, her legs instantly fused into a fin.
00:03:10What 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. I'm sorry, kid. He
00:03:16was a good man.
00:03:16Why are you coming back now?
00:03:17I'm a PhD student research in genetically modified species. Your father's research notes are very important for my thesis.
00:03:21Also, I brought supplies. Canned food, batteries, power banks. There's no delivery on this island.
00:03:25I don't trust him, but he knows things about Dad. And I really do need supplies. I'll keep him around
00:03:31for now.
00:03:33Dad's note said, full moon night, firelight. Will they come?
00:03:38Shit! It's not a mermaid! It's a shark!
00:03:42Are we going to die?
00:04:07Oh, God. This is real.
00:04:16Dad wasn't crazy. He never was.
00:04:21I'm alive.
00:04:25Blood? What happened?
00:04:28We're rich. This thing is definitely worth a fortune.
00:04:32It's the one who saved me last night.
00:04:35Stop! Are you crazy? He's not human?
00:04:38It took everything I had to knock him out from behind. This monster is incredibly strong.
00:04:42He saved my life. When I fell into the sea, he pulled me up from underwater.
00:04:46What?
00:04:47If 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 cow.
00:04:59Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Don'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.
00:05:24We'll put him in the tank. Water might help him recover faster. Dad's notes mention that.
00:05:27Recover faster? Then he'll tear us apart faster when he wakes up.
00:05:31Do you have a better idea?
00:05:34I don't know.
00:05:35I don't know.
00:05:39Three, 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.
00:06:15He's awake.
00:06:27When it's just the two of us, you're different.
00:06:47He's smiling?
00:06:48You're bonding with it?
00:06:50He'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.
00:06:59Monster, eat.
00:07:09Are you teasing me on purpose?
00:07:14Shit.
00:07:15Why are you taking so many photos?
00:07:17Who are you sending these photos to?
00:07:18For evidence of your business.
00:07:19It's called being prepared.
00:07:22When it's just the two of us, you're different.
00:07:26You 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?
00:08:00We 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?
00:08:18He senses something?
00:08:20What 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.
00:08:31Don'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?
00:09:10Monster!
00:09:27If you fear me, kill me.
00:09:34I won't kill you.
00:09:35Otherwise, you are mine.
00:09:53Come with me.
00:09:55Where?
00:09:56You're hurt.
00:09:58We should treat that first.
00:10:10This is dad's old phone?
00:10:20Sent to mom.
00:10:22Mom, I might be in danger.
00:10:25Protect Noah.
00:10:34You...
00:10:35You know my father?
00:10:38I won't let anyone hurt you again.
00:10:43He came to my door on his own.
00:10:45He's curious about everything.
00:10:47I tried to teach him to wave hello.
00:10:49His learning speed far exceeds that of a human toddler.
00:10:54A genius.
00:10:56Less than 20 seconds.
00:10:58His spatial reasoning is astonishing.
00:11:06No.
00:11:08No.
00:11:09Yes!
00:11:10That's my son!
00:11:11Noah!
00:11:12Noah!
00:11:13Noah!
00:11:16Noah!
00:11:17If 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.
00:11:31He has chosen you.
00:11:33He evolved into his complete form for me?
00:11:37Take care of yourself, Noah.
00:11:39And take care of him.
00:11:46I won't let anyone hurt you again.
00:11:49A group came today.
00:11:50They captured another mermaid.
00:11:52A female.
00:11:54She's badly injured.
00:11:56Tortured.
00:11:57They said they'd kept her for a year.
00:11:59They came to me, said they wanted me to fix her.
00:12:02Someone told them I knew how.
00:12:03They want to sell her to the government.
00:12:05They said they'd already sold one before, for a good price.
00:12:07I have to save her.
00:12:08I have to try.
00:12:09I don't know if I'll make it.
00:12:09If something happens to me, remember, Dad loves you more than life itself.
00:12:12You're the only thing I'll regret leaving behind.
00:12:13Jack couldn't have been Dad's assistant.
00:12:15He was one of them.
00:12:15One of the ones who brought that female mermaid.
00:12:17The ones who needed someone to fix her.
00:12:19The basement tank wasn't for observation.
00:12:21It was for imprisonment.
00:12:23Dad didn't die of a heart attack.
00:12:24That was just a lie they made up.
00:12:26And Kai killed Jack.
00:12:29For the first time,
00:12:31I think he did the right thing.
00:12:39Don't leave.
00:12:41But I know Kai can't stay here.
00:12:45This island isn't safe anymore.
00:12:47Those people will come back.
00:12:57You have to go.
00:12:58Those people will come sooner or later.
00:13:00I've already sent a distress signal.
00:13:02A boat will come for me.
00:13:04But you can't be here.
00:13:06If they see you...
00:13:09Noah...
00:13:11Go.
00:13:22Mr. Reed?
00:13:23The Coast Guard sent me to pick you up.
00:13:35This 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.
00:13:41Jack came to this island for your father's research
00:13:43and then he disappeared.
00:13:44You're the last person who saw him.
00:13:47One more time.
00:13:48Where's Jack?
00:13:51He's dead.
00:13:55Who killed him?
00:13:56You?
00:14:00I'll count to three.
00:14:03One.
00:14:03Two.
00:14:04Two.
00:14:13You're dead.
00:14:17Don't move.
00:14:31Kai, Kai look at me
00:14:33No
00:14:35Okay
00:14:38Why did you come back?
00:14:39I told you to go, you could have
00:14:41Won't leave
00:14:59No
00:15:01Mr. Reid, there's a man outside
00:15:04What?
00:15:05He's been sitting on the steps outside
00:15:07He only says one word, your name
00:15:10Noah
00:15:12Noah
00:15:19Why are you still here?
00:15:21Your skin is sunburned, you're going to die
00:15:23Not leave
00:15:25Let him go
00:15:26Mom, what are you doing?
00:15:28I'm saving you
00:15:29Look at yourself
00:15:31With a man of unknown origin
00:15:33He saved my life
00:15:34Just like your father thought he was doing the right thing
00:15:37How did your father end up?
00:15:39Have you forgotten?
00:15:44Move
00:15:44No
00:15:50Come find me
00:15:52If you can
00:15:57No
00:15:58No
00:15:58No
00:16:05I found you
00:16:09Three years
00:16:10I spent three years becoming someone they trust
00:16:17Finished my PhD
00:16:18Endured every insincerous smile
00:16:20Every disgusting dinner
00:16:22All of this
00:16:23All of this for one answer
00:16:24How dad died
00:16:25Who gave the order
00:16:26The mermaids imprisoned here
00:16:28How many more?
00:16:30I don't want to be here
00:16:34Hold on a little longer
00:16:35We're almost there
00:16:47I found you
00:16:49I found you
00:17:05How did you get here
00:17:06How did you get here?
00:17:08By plane
00:17:13You can talk
00:17:15Full sentences
00:17:16Three years of study
00:17:21She's the female mermaid dad mentioned in the video?
00:17:25Serena
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
00:17:42I'm not going to dance around the word
00:17:46Kai
00:17:46A lot has changed in these three years
00:17:49My situation is complicated
00:17:54It's not what you think
00:17:57I understand
00:17:58Serena, we're leaving
00:17:59Stop
00:18:02I want you
00:18:04I've only ever wanted you
00:18:08That man
00:18:09Marcus
00:18:11He's with Aureide
00:18:12I'm using him
00:18:14For three years
00:18:15I've been pretending to be with
00:18:16ORD
00:18:17A government secret research facility
00:18:19My father used to work there
00:18:21He discovered the truth
00:18:22And wanted to expose it
00:18:23Then they killed him
00:18:24Do you know why I went for a PhD?
00:18:26I needed an identity to infiltrate it
00:18:28I needed to find evidence proof
00:18:30That my father was murdered
00:18:33Marcus is in the core department
00:18:35He has top level clearance
00:18:37Getting close to him
00:18:39Was the only way
00:18:41Do you hate him?
00:18:43Every second
00:18:48You don't have to carry this alone
00:18:50You don't have to carry this alone
00:18:56Kai
00:18:57There's one more thing
00:18:59Inside Aureide
00:19:01There might be other mermaids imprisoned
00:19:03How many?
00:19:05I'm not sure
00:19:05But I heard sounds in the B level basement
00:19:08Clicking sounds
00:19:09Not machines
00:19:10It's language
00:19:13Serena
00:19:16I secretly recorded this in Aureide's B section
00:19:19Human ears can't hear it
00:19:22But you should be able to
00:19:28Serena
00:19:33What did you hear?
00:19:34Three voices
00:19:36Two females
00:19:37One
00:19:38Child
00:19:40They're screaming
00:19:41Calling for help
00:19:42The voices are very weak
00:19:43They're about to give up
00:19:44Serena
00:19:45She went through that too
00:19:46I know
00:19:47Dad mentioned it in the video
00:19:48You don't know the whole story
00:19:49She was captured as a child
00:19:51Locked in an iron cage for an entire year
00:19:53Your father contacted
00:19:54She's a queen
00:19:56The highest ranking being in our kind
00:19:58But she was tortured so badly
00:20:00She forgot who she was
00:20:02Take me there
00:20:04I want to save them
00:20:07No, that's a military grade security facility
00:20:10Rushing in is suicide
00:20:11So let them continue rotting inside
00:20:12Not giving up
00:20:13The timing isn't right
00:20:14I need more intel
00:20:15If we mess it up
00:20:15The ones inside are finished too
00:20:18Give me a deadline
00:20:19Let me first figure out which floor they're on
00:20:20How many there are
00:20:21How the security rotates
00:20:22Then we act
00:20:24Because of me?
00:20:26Because you're my mate
00:20:27You made breakfast?
00:20:29I lived in the human world for three years
00:20:30Learned quite a bit
00:20:35Better than what I make
00:20:39What exactly is her status?
00:20:40You said she's a queen
00:20:41In our society
00:20:43The queen is the highest ranking existence
00:20:44She has four or five betas around her
00:20:46Nest
00:20:47When a queen matures
00:20:48She enters a nesting period
00:20:49She chooses her mate
00:20:50Forms a harem
00:20:50Hara?
00:20:51Multiple males?
00:20:52Four or five is normal
00:20:53An older queen can have 20
00:20:54Not all are used for mating
00:20:55Most are guardians
00:20:57So right now?
00:20:58She's about to enter her first nesting period
00:21:00She'll become unstable
00:21:01Instinct will drive her to seduce any suitable male
00:21:04Including humans?
00:21:05Humans have no resistance to a queen's allure
00:21:07That's also why I can't leave her alone in the sea
00:21:09What about you?
00:21:10Before, were you also a queen's beta?
00:21:13A long time ago
00:21:15My queen was killed by humans
00:21:16So were my brothers
00:21:18After that, I met your father
00:21:19Saw your photo
00:21:21My body changed
00:21:22I evolved from a beta into an alpha
00:21:24Because of me?
00:21:26Because you're my mate
00:21:28My instinct made the choice
00:21:30Irreversible
00:21:41Kai, put on a shirt
00:21:45Surprise!
00:21:46Guess who got promoted?
00:21:48Senior research angelist
00:21:49I made it!
00:21:52Congratulations
00:21:53Congratulations
00:21:55You have guests?
00:21:56My friend
00:21:57From back home
00:21:58You never mentioned having friends from back home
00:22:02We've only known each other for a year, Marcus
00:22:04There's a lot you don't know
00:22:06Hello, I'm Marcus
00:22:07Not much of a talker
00:22:09Not much of a talker
00:22:10He had throat surgery
00:22:10His voice is different from most people's
00:22:15And this is?
00:22:17Also a friend
00:22:18She has skin issues
00:22:19Needs to soak in water often
00:22:21Her eyes seem a bit unusual
00:22:23You're making her uncomfortable
00:22:26Your voice?
00:22:27After effects of the throat surgery
00:22:28I told you
00:22:29Marcus, why didn't you call before coming?
00:22:32I came to celebrate
00:22:34But you look busy
00:22:35Another time
00:22:38That was too close
00:22:41There's a smell on him
00:22:43What kind of smell?
00:22:44The same smell as the people who captured my kind
00:22:51Did he touch you?
00:22:54Six months
00:22:55You've been with him for six months
00:22:56Has he touched you?
00:22:58Kissed
00:22:59To keep up the cover
00:23:00That's all
00:23:01If he touches even one finger on you again
00:23:05I will kill him
00:23:06You can't kill anyone
00:23:08Not here
00:23:10Not now
00:23:11Then don't let him touch you
00:23:18It won't happen again, I promise you
00:23:24The surveillance shuts down for maintenance at midnight
00:23:27We have two hours
00:23:42Come in
00:23:53Get out
00:23:54Now!
00:24:03Your arm!
00:24:04It's fine
00:24:05She can't control herself
00:24:10What just happened?
00:24:11Was 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, any male who senses it will be drawn to
00:24:19her
00:24:20Including 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
00:24:25And 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
00:24:41That'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
00:25:01I should show you what our department really does
00:25:12Look at this!
00:25:15What species is this from?
00:25:17Classified
00:25:17You know how it is
00:25:27That's not a specimen container
00:25:29That's a live transport box
00:25:32That's a live transport box
00:25:34They're behind this door
00:25:40No
00:25:54Reed
00:25:56You are?
00:25:58Marcus's assistant
00:25:58You don't know me, but I know you
00:26:01I also know your father
00:26:03I don't know what you're talking about.
00:26:05Don't act.
00:26:05You were in the B-4 corridor at 1147 last night.
00:26:08You 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.
00:26:13Who's noticed me?
00:26:13Why do you think Marcus got promoted?
00:26:15Not 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.
00:26:31Walk.
00:26:33Slow down when you pass 7th Street.
00:26:39You've been following me for six blocks.
00:26:42Say what you want to say.
00:26:43Not here.
00:26:44Let's go upstairs.
00:26:48He smells like my kind.
00:26:52Alpha.
00:26:53You're...
00:26:53Alpha.
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.
00:27:04Marine mammals.
00:27:04Five years ago, O-Ride recruited me.
00:27:06Set with Stainwood Species Protection Program.
00:27:08They called the Project Leviathan and Sparma 2.
00:27:10Initially, the military found a few mermaid corpses.
00:27:12Then it became live capture.
00:27:13Then...
00:27:13Did my tithes...
00:27:14Gene extraction.
00:27:15Hybridizations.
00:27:16And didn't want to harm them.
00:27:17But after he got access to the core data, he wanted to make everything public.
00:27:20Then 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, the 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.
00:27:35Five betas.
00:27:35Sedated long-term.
00:27:36Their minds are already broken.
00:27:37Three juvenile females.
00:27:38One 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.
00:27:41His 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.
00:27:47Their skin is cracking.
00:27:47Their immune systems are failing.
00:27:48At this rate, they have maybe one more year.
00:27:50Why are you telling me all this?
00:27:51Because I watch them die every day and I can't do anything about it.
00:27:53I signed an NDA.
00:27:54I can't leave.
00:27:55But you, you have the motivation, you have the identity, and 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, I thought I was using him.
00:28:33Every disgusting smile, every reluctant touch, I thought I was the one acting.
00:28:39But from start to finish, I 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.
00:28:52You said they're here.
00:28:53Ethan said he can cooperate from the inside.
00:28:55Shut down B-4 surveillance signal for 15 minutes.
00:28:57Unlock the emergency passage.
00:28:58But we only have that 15-minute window.
00:29:02Enough.
00:29:02Not enough.
00:29:04There are armed guards, biometric locks, escape...
00:29:08Every extra day we wait, someone inside dies another day.
00:29:11Noah.
00:29:17Tomorrow at 3 a.m., we go in.
00:29:36No matter what happens tomorrow, you... you have to live.
00:29:42What 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, B-4's door, I'll open from the inside.
00:30:10I'll enter the surveillance room at 2.55.
00:30:12Shut down B-4's camera fed at 3 Klugger Sharp.
00:30:14You'll have 15 minutes.
00:30:15Evacuation route.
00:30:16Southside freight passage.
00:30:18Leads to the underground parking garage.
00:30:19I parked a van in spot C-7.
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.
00:30:46Serena, 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.
00:31:30Seawater.
00:31:32And blood.
00:31:41It's okay.
00:31:46My goodness, all of them are your people.
00:32:01Are you still alive?
00:32:06They can't hear anymore.
00:32:08Their minds are completely broken.
00:32:16Help.
00:32:19Kai!
00:32:21We can't make noise.
00:32:22We only have seven minutes left.
00:32:42Noah, he looks like you.
00:32:51Someone's coming.
00:32:53It's exactly the same.
00:33:00Who are you?
00:33:11Welcome to B4, Noah.
00:33:13I've been waiting a long time for this day.
00:33:16I wouldn't do that.
00:33:21Kai!
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.
00:33:28You used me!
00:33:29No, I'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.
00:33:50We were told one of them died, but that was a lie.
00:33:52He stole one of the babies.
00:33:53Disappeared with him.
00:33:54Raised him as human.
00:33:55Let him think he was normal.
00:33:57That 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.
00:34:20Because 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.
00:34:30They're just waiting for the right stimulus.
00:34:32Drowning is the most effective trigger.
00:34:37Let 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?
00:35:07You just need to drown him.
00:35:09Gene activation successful.
00:35:11Gill 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.
00:35:25Genetic compatibility test results are in.
00:35:26Perfect match.
00:35:27Dream on.
00:35:28Of course, the most valuable data requires your cooperation.
00:35:31Infusion response during natural mating.
00:35:32This is data we've never obtained.
00:35:33We already have data on mermaid reproduction, but the union of a hybrid and a blu- 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.
00:36:08A wise choice.
00:36:09Fine.
00:36:11Fine.
00:36:12Fine.
00:36:13Fine.
00:36:35What kind of monster is this?
00:36:37I can't even control my own body.
00:36:40Ethan need to let.
00:36:45Catch her!
00:36:51Well done, Serena. I'll go rescue them first.
00:36:58Can you walk?
00:36:59Yes.
00:37:05Kai! They're helping us!
00:37:06When the control wears off, they'll remember everything. They'll become threats.
00:37:09Help and bless us.
00:37:18She can't last much longer. Go!
00:37:30Southgate exit!
00:37:41They mobilized.
00:37:46A serious security incident occurred tonight. A group of criminals broke into a federal marine research facility and stole highly
00:37:54dangerous experimental materials.
00:37:56Authorities warn the public, if you encounter suspicious individuals, report immediately and do not occur.
00:38:12They've labeled us as criminals.
00:38:18Dangerous experimental materials. They won't even use the word beings.
00:38:37She needs seawater. If 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. We'll have to take back roads.
00:38:49This should last you a while. I need to go the other way, to Mexico, find my contacts. ORD won't
00:38:53let me go.
00:38:55Don't thank me. Get the truth out. That's why I took this risk.
00:38:58Protect him.
00:39:20Will you come with me?
00:39:21Will you come with me?
00:39:33I'll go with you.
00:40:04This isn't a primitive cave. This is a civilization.
00:40:12Nowats is a mitre.
00:40:18They're kneeling to you.
00:40:21I've been away too long. I thought I was 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. Once 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.
00:40:56What 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.
00:41:21I know.
00:41:25I know.
00:41:38What did he say?
00:41:43He says,
00:41:44You must leave.
00:41:45Your appearance will draw human attention.
00:41:48If there's too much activity, humans might discover this settlement.
00:42:05Thank you, Bathtub.
00:42:07Bathtub was too small.
00:42:09You deserve the whole ocean.
00:42:16A 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.
00:42:40One 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 gonna get them all out.
00:43:07You're insane.
00:43:09I'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?
00:43:15We 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?
00:43:20I can't lose you!
00:43:23I spent three years finding you.
00:43:25And 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.
00:43:35Maybe 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.
00:44:29It's one of the largest underwater cities.
00:44:31If we're to gather warriors, it must be approved by the council there.
00:44:34How far?
00:44:34Two days and two nights.
00:44:37Two 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.
00:45:10Kai!
00:45:10You bastard!
00:45:11Five years!
00:45:12No word for five years!
00:45:13Darian, I'm back.
00:45:14Kai.
00:45:15You brought a human to Glondis?
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.
00:45:26A 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.
00:45:33That'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 Glondis send warriors.
00:45:39We will discuss it at tomorrow's council meeting.
00:45:41Until then, do not let him touch anything.
00:45:44You call this surviving?
00:45:46Our 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?
00:46:06You call this surviving?
00:46:07Our territory shrinks every year.
00:46:09Children 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?
00:46:16And 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.
00:46:26He 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?
00:47:09Kai.
00:47:11Your scent has changed.
00:47:13What?
00:47:15That scent?
00:47:16Your mate?
00:47:17Yes.
00:47:19He's about to enter heat.
00:47:20Kai, his scent.
00:47:21You have to take him away from the tribe.
00:47:23I 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.
00:47:31Don't try to control it.
00:47:32Your omega instincts are awakening.
00:47:34This is natural.
00:47:39Kai.
00:47:45Kai?
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.
00:48:00Wait 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.
00:48:47Fine.
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.
00:48:58War.
00:49:02I arrest everybody for the Glanis dental.
00:49:04Sir, unidentified organisms spotted on the surface.
00:49:06Humanoid, female, no weapons.
00:49:08I released the 12th tribe, Verzibus.
00:49:09We do not message you are holding.
00:49:10Stop all experiments.
00:49:11Recognize our rights as intelligent beings.
00:49:13In exchange, we promise we will never be the first to attack humans.
00:49:18Please come aboard.
00:49:19Our commander wishes to speak with you directly.
00:49:22I am a peace emasid.
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.
00:49:44War.
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!
00:50:09All targets have simultaneously disappeared from sonar.
00:50:11Looks like they just vanished into thin water.
00:50:13What?
00:50:15All hands.
00:50:16Emergency is set.
00:50:33Abandon ship!
00:50:40Annihilator.
00:50:41Fifthly, the serpent's retreat.
00:50:42Massive explosion detected in the eastern sea.
00:50:45Not ours.
00:50:45It's human death charges.
00:50:47The east, that's...
00:50:49Queen Serena's settlement.
00:50:51They control the narrative.
00:51:01Serena.
00:51:03They bombed the entire settlement.
00:51:05One hundred and seventeen lives just to eliminate potential threats.
00:51:20Massive unidentified sea creature attacks military vessel.
00:51:25Rescue 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 twelve imprisoned mermaids.
00:51:40No news story mentions Orid or the hundred seventeen 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, they'll build a thousand.
00:52:04The only way to end this is to let the whole world see the truth.
00:52:07Hmm?
00:52:08How?
00:52:08Global broadcast.
00:52:09Expose everything about Orid.
00:52:11Experiment records, imprisonment footage, death lists, everything.
00:52:15You want us to expose ourselves to all of humanity?
00:52:17You're already exposed.
00:52:19Seventy-eight submarines sunk.
00:52:20The whole world knows you exist.
00:52:22The question now isn't whether to expose, it's who defines what you are.
00:52:26The government, or yourselves.
00:52:28I don't like this plan.
00:52:29I know.
00:52:31But 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?
00:52:37All the Orid internal files you have.
00:52:38Experiment records, surgery footage, internal communications, as much as you can get.
00:52:42I have five years of data backed up.
00:52:45But Noah, how are you going to release it?
00:52:47All the major media are silenced.
00:52:48I don't need major media, I 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, closest 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?
00:53:09300 kilometers.
00:53:10We leave tomorrow.
00:53:27You should have stayed at Glendis.
00:53:30They 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.
00:53:49Sophie, put it down for a moment.
00:53:51This 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.
00:54:07I am the son of Dr. James Reed.
00:54:08Three years ago, my father was murdered because he discovered a secret that in our oceans,
00:54:11there lives another intelligent species.
00:54:13The project codename is Leviathan.
00:54:14The executing agency is called Oryde.
00:54:16In its basement level four right now, there are 12, 12 living peeing 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 and the settlement was destroyed by depth bombs.
00:54:36Now, I'm going to show you what they really are.
00:54:48My 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.
00:55:04Everyone's sharing it.
00:55:05Our IP is being traced.
00:55:06ORD, 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.
00:55:25They need to see it.
00:55:29Oh my goodness.
00:55:31What a poor mermaid.
00:55:33Those who brutally kill living beings will be punished by the sea.
00:55:37A video claiming to expose a government secret project has received over 200 million views in the past six hours.
00:55:43The White House has declined to comment on the video's content, stating that it is investigating its authenticity.
00:55:48The Pentagon spokesperson claims the video is a deep fake, urging the public not to share.
00:55:52Free them! Free them!
00:56:02The 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.
00:56:19Noah Reid 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.
00:56:33We 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, everything.
00:56:54You can't...
00:56:55I have an emergency executive order signed by the President.
00:56:57In the name of national security threats, I can detain everyone present.
00:57:00Come back, Noah.
00:57:01You 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, but 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.
00:57:38It's not inevitable.
00:57:38I've studied you for five years.
00:57:39I know this world better than you.
00:57:41Humans 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.
00:57:54Three years ago, I learned one thing.
00:57:59Killing doesn't solve problems.
00:58:06You all saw it.
00:58:08He shot us, and 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 to verify all allegations.
00:58:42Everyone stop what you're doing.
00:58:44From 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 resolutherize me to any area of this facility.
00:58:52Open the door.
00:58:53Now.
00:59:06Document everything.
00:59:08Every take.
00:59:09Every file.
00:59:21You don't understand.
00:59:22You don't understand anything.
00:59:24You don't understand.
00:59:25You don't understand anything.
00:59:35Let them come.
00:59:40I'm late.
00:59:42I'm late.
00:59:43But I'm here.
00:59:54You need to eat something.
00:59:55He's been locked up since birth.
00:59:57Over 20 years.
00:59:58Never seen the sky.
00:59:59Never walked on sand.
01:00:00No one has ever called his name.
01:00:02Every day I was out there living, going to school, eating, breathing fresh air.
01:00:07He was in a tank.
01:00:09That's not your fault.
01:00:10I know.
01:00:11But I can make it right.
01:00:12I can make it right.
01:00:23Does he have a name?
01:00:24Not yet.
01:00:25Noah wants to wait for him to choose his own.
01:00:28Can he recover?
01:00:29His body will recover.
01:00:32But over 20 years.
01:00:38Hush, little baby.
01:00:56Good morning.
01:01:00You need to eat.
01:01:14That's the sky.
01:01:16Before, you could only see blurry light from the tank.
01:01:20Now, you can look at it whenever you want.
01:01:23Yes.
01:01:25Very big.
01:01:27Big.
01:01:36Does he have a name yet?
01:01:37Noah said he'll choose when he's ready.
01:01:39It will be a good name.
01:01:46Today, we are not signing a treaty between two nations.
01:01:49We are, for the first time, acknowledging each other's existence between two seas.
01:01:54First, recognize the marine intelligence species.
01:01:56Second, permanently close oride and release all imprisoned individuals.
01:02:01Third, designate international marine protected areas.
01:02:04Fourth, establish a human marine intelligence species joint dialogue committee.
01:02:13Second, the resolution is adopted.
