Short filmTranscript
00:00I am the last princess of the Siren people.
00:02Six years ago, I saved a human man.
00:05I loved him, and I gave him my kingdom secrets.
00:08He repaid me by sealing my voice with a poisoned needle,
00:11then led his army to slaughter all 3,000 of my people.
00:15He thought I was dead.
00:16He was wrong.
00:18Lord Caius crushed four kingdoms before he even turned 30.
00:22Of course, he once infiltrated the Sea Clan as a spy all on his own.
00:26It's because of him that our kingdom is this powerful.
00:29That's why Serafina had to marry him.
00:35Today, we gather here to bind two souls together.
00:39Do you swear upon your life to guard her kingdom?
00:45As you once swore other vow.
00:48What did you say?
01:02Do you remember what you said, kneeling before me?
01:08You said, if your kingdom ever falls, it will only be because I died first.
01:14You didn't die, but my kingdom fell.
01:17My people died.
01:19My father died.
01:20You owe my people their lives, Caius.
01:22I'm here to collect.
01:24His crown, his alliances, his woman, his reputation.
01:28Six years ago, he took everything from me.
01:30Now I want him to watch as it all shatters piece by piece.
01:34But first, let me show you how he stole my entire world.
01:52Please, hunters are after me.
01:56I'm not one of them.
01:58I'm who they want to kill.
01:59Please.
02:01Hold on.
02:26You're safe here.
02:28My name is Vesper.
02:29Vesper.
02:31Vesper.
02:31You saved my life.
02:36Your injuries were too severe.
02:39Any later and I couldn't have helped.
02:45General.
02:49The intelligence about the Siren Clan is all confirmed.
02:52Her voice can heal fatal wounds.
02:55One song can bring a dying man back to his feet.
02:58But if we obtain this power, battlefield casualties will cease to exist.
03:02An entire army will be impervious to blades and arrows.
03:06Coordinates to follow.
03:07Give me time.
03:09Give me time.
03:09I will obtain everything.
03:12Sleep.
03:13You're safe here.
03:15That was the first time I touched his face.
03:18I thought the heavens had sent him to me.
03:21He touched my face too later.
03:23But his other hand was holding a needle.
03:26The western wall stands roughly 40 feet high.
03:29With a gap.
03:30Passable at low tide.
03:34The tribe number is approximately 3,000.
03:37No standing army.
03:39Absolute trust in outsiders.
03:42No defenses.
03:43That human.
03:44You trust him too much.
03:47Father.
03:48He's different from the others.
03:51I hope you're right.
04:04Just one piece missing.
04:06Where is the forbidden place?
04:09This is my home.
04:11I've never brought anyone here before.
04:13I don't even know why I brought you.
04:17Because you trust me.
04:19It's too dangerous out there.
04:21Hunters everywhere.
04:21I'm afraid.
04:22If hunters ever find this place.
04:24If your kingdom ever falls.
04:26It will only be because I died first.
04:30Vesper.
04:31I swear it.
04:33I believe you.
04:37One kiss.
04:38One location.
04:40Next step.
04:41She brings me there herself.
04:43Not hard.
04:44She already believes everything.
04:48Caius!
04:49Come on!
04:51He said he'd protect me with his life.
04:54I believed him.
04:55Then he asked me to open the door I had never let any outsider see.
04:59I opened it.
05:05What lies behind this door?
05:09Only my father and I have ever entered.
05:13Caius!
05:14Three hunter ships have been spotted beyond the coastline.
05:19Three of them.
05:21Vesper, listen to me.
05:22If they find your tribe's source of power, they will destroy it first.
05:27Let me see it.
05:30I need to know how to defend it.
05:32Those three ships were his doing.
05:36He manufactured the fear, then pretended to be the only way out.
05:46Come inside.
05:51My God.
05:53My God.
06:02My God.
06:14If we control it, no force in the world will stand against us.
06:18Come further.
06:21There's more.
06:22A tracking stone.
06:24The general's sorcerers will sense it.
06:26From this moment on, they know the location.
06:31Caius?
06:32I was looking at the patterns.
06:34They're beautiful.
06:35Show me more.
06:44With you here, I'm not afraid.
06:48That was the last time I felt safe.
06:58Will you stay?
07:03Caius?
07:05Caius?
07:06Yes.
07:08I'll always stay.
07:11Do you swear?
07:14I swear.
07:16Then I have nothing to fear.
07:22Venom from a deep-sea jellyfish.
07:24One drop.
07:26And a siren's vocal cords are sealed permanently.
07:28The general's orders.
07:30Capture her alive.
07:31Seal her voice.
07:32Bring her back.
07:33A siren without a voice is more useful than a dead one.
07:36Now is the moment.
07:38She won't wake.
07:39One drop is enough.
07:54Tomorrow.
07:55Tomorrow.
08:17princess hunters coming from the sea.
08:21They've sealed every entrance.
08:36Father.
08:43Caius.
08:44You're still here.
08:47come
08:49help me get father out
08:52Vesper
09:04you
09:04you promised me
09:06you said with your life
09:08I said many things
09:10you chose to believe all of them
09:14did you ever love me?
09:17even for one second
09:19your kingdom was beautiful
09:21your voice was useful
09:24you're asking the wrong question
10:12you're asking the wrong questions
10:12you're asking the wrong question
10:15come on
10:15come on
10:17Vesper, don't sing. They're waiting for you to open your throat.
10:20The moment you do, they'll know you're still alive.
10:23You are the last voice of the Siren people.
10:26Father.
10:27Live. Take your voice away, you. Someday.
10:46Glory, Godspeed.
10:48Lord's Prayer.
11:00How do you call this?
11:01mighty glory
11:15joining the Star Wars
11:17My lord, the entire searing royal family is confirmed dead.
11:21Princess Vessar is on the list.
11:23Was her body found?
11:24Swept away by the wave, but given her injuries...
11:29Keep looking.
11:46Ah!
12:22I don't know.
12:51If your kingdom ever falls, it will only be because I died first.
12:56Vesper, I swear it.
13:01You chose to believe all of them.
13:07Live. Take your voice away, you.
13:16No whore singing.
13:20No!
13:26No whore singing.
13:31Princess, you're alive.
13:35Princess, you're alive.
13:39Princess, you're alive.
13:44How many are there?
13:46Seventeen here.
13:47A few more in the western of this.
13:50Perhaps...
13:51Thirty?
13:52The children.
13:54She hasn't spoken since that day.
13:56Not because she can't.
13:59Because she doesn't dare.
14:01I know. I didn't dare you, though.
14:04It took me two years before I dared to open my mouth again.
14:07But we have to open our mouths.
14:09Not to sing.
14:11To make the ones who did this hear us.
14:15How long have you been waiting here?
14:17Three years.
14:19No more waiting.
14:22Caius, you said I was asking the wrong question.
14:25Fine.
14:26Now it's your turn to answer mine.
14:29One by one.
14:44I spent three months.
14:45Princess Seraphine, his future queen.
14:47She trusts anyone who is kind to her.
14:49Exactly like me.
14:51Six years ago.
14:55Lyra, you saved my life.
15:00My lord, Princess Seraphine has arrived.
15:04She brought a cousin with her, named of Lyra.
15:06A cousin?
15:10A distant relative.
15:12Very quiet.
15:14Insists on personally attending the princess.
15:24Kaius, you've finally come.
15:32Hello.
15:34My name is Lyra.
15:37Hello.
15:39My name is Lyra.
15:41Impossible.
15:43You're dead.
15:45You should be dead.
15:46I personally...
15:53My lord, your hand is shaking.
15:56Is the palace too cold?
16:00A little.
16:03Lyra is the person I trust most.
16:05I'm sure you'll like her too.
16:08I'm sure you'll like her too.
16:12He knew it was me.
16:13I knew he knew.
16:14But he couldn't say so because that would mean explaining how he recognizes a siren princess
16:18who died.
16:19And I didn't need him to say it out loud.
16:21I only needed him to be afraid.
16:23That woman!
16:24Investigate her.
16:25Now!
16:26I want everything before tomorrow.
16:28My lord, she's only the princess's cousin.
16:29I said now!
16:38First one.
16:41You're Seraphine's cousin?
16:42You walk like a fisherman's daughter.
16:44Whatever you wear as it looks borrowed.
16:45I was the one who introduced Lord Kaius to this court.
16:48Seraphine is marrying him because of me.
16:50Everyone in this palace owes me something.
16:52Including you.
16:54Remember your place.
16:56Yes, my lady.
17:00She said she introduced Kaius to this court.
17:05And she must know a great deal.
17:09Lyra, sing us a song.
17:11You can't?
17:12Of course.
17:13Look at these hands.
17:15How many dishes have you washed to make them look like that?
17:24My lady is right.
17:26I can't really sing.
17:28Only just a little.
17:34I poisoned my husband.
17:38Three years ago.
17:40He wanted to leave me.
17:42I put poison in his wine.
17:44I watched him die.
17:47I don't know why I'm saying this.
17:48I can't stop.
17:50Lyra.
17:52I'm frightened.
17:54Don't be afraid, your highness.
17:56I'm here.
18:00She's doing exactly what I did.
18:02Step by step.
18:03Get close.
18:04Earn their trust.
18:05And then...
18:05She didn't come back to kill me.
18:07She came to destroy everything I own.
18:09One piece at a time.
18:10Right before my eyes.
18:12And I can't tell anyone who she is.
18:13Because that would mean confessing that six years ago,
18:16I slaughtered an entire people.
18:21Sir, just got word.
18:23The patrol caught 17 stray Syrians near the entrance to the Singing Sea.
18:28Who's leading them?
18:30An old man with a broken tail.
18:32They seemed to be waiting for someone.
18:36We've put them all in the underground sea prison.
18:41Sealed their mouths.
18:43Lock it down.
18:44No one in the palace is to know.
18:48Even Lady Lyra.
18:50I said...
18:52No one.
18:53After those deep-sea beasts were wiped out,
18:56the shipping lanes became ten times safer.
18:59All thanks to Lord Caius.
19:04I hid the siren pearls I looted in the dry well in the western suburbs.
19:09I tore them off a siren child who wasn't even dead yet!
19:14I lied!
19:16I staged that riot to swiddle more military fun!
19:21Help me!
19:23Why can't I...
19:25What did you do, Tim?
19:27My man.
19:28I only poured a cup of tea.
19:31He wanted to confess.
19:33Play this trick once.
19:34That's enough.
19:35Stop!
19:36The names on the list aren't all dead yet, my lord.
19:40What are you afraid of?
19:42I'm afraid you'll throw away your own life in the end.
19:44My life.
19:45It died that night, six years ago.
19:56Father and brother wrote again.
19:58Every letter asks when Caius will send their funds.
20:01Not a word about how I'm doing.
20:05Liar.
20:07Do you think there's anyone left in this world worth trusting?
20:10There is.
20:12As long as that person has never lied to you.
20:15What about you?
20:17Have you lied to me?
20:19I will never hurt you, your highness.
20:21My lord, the order for Elias.
20:23The court is already pressing for it.
20:25Keep him.
20:26But yesterday he admitted in public, embezzling military funds, staging the riot.
20:30He's stolen goods.
20:31But stolen goods can be more useful than clean men.
20:34Once this storm at sea passes, let him take the form.
20:36You're saying, among Princess Serafina's cousins, there's no woman called Lyra?
20:41Yes, my lord.
20:42According to records, that distant branch died out in the plague ten years ago.
20:45This Lyra, her identity is a mystery.
20:47So even her identity is borrowed.
20:49She's using Serafina.
20:54Lyra, this officer would like to ask you a few questions about your hometown.
20:57For instance, how did that plague begin?
21:00The plague?
21:01I only remember seeing the officer at the coast three years ago.
21:04You were with your men, hunting down escaped operations.
21:08So my lord never gave up hunting the sirens.
21:10Is it because six years ago you didn't kill cleanly enough?
21:13Afraid they'll come back for your life?
21:15What nonsense are you spouting?
21:16People in the palace are talking.
21:18Our hero Sen's been living in fear all along.
21:20Why else send so many men to guard the Postal Forbidden Circle?
21:24Enough.
21:25Get out.
21:33Six years ago today, we wiped out the threat from the seas.
21:38Three thousand sirens executed, and we secured a century of maritime power for the Empire.
21:46To the final eration of those three thousand souls.
21:50Drink!
21:58My apologies.
22:00I didn't grip it tight enough.
22:02This color, it really does resemble the seawater you described that night, my lord.
22:11Continue.
22:11I need to change.
22:24My lord, this is the glory you wanted.
22:27How does it taste?
22:29What is it you want?
22:30To kill me?
22:31Then do it!
22:32Now!
22:34Death would be too kind.
22:37I want you fully awake.
22:40Watching the monument you built.
22:43Rotting inch by inch.
22:46Lyra?
22:48If you don't let go, Seraphine will see.
22:52Lyra!
22:53Lyra!
23:00Kyos!
23:01You look pale.
23:02Are you too tired?
23:04It's nothing.
23:05The wine was too strong.
23:08The wine was too strong.
23:09The wine was too strong.
23:10The wine was too strong.
23:34Something's wrong.
23:37The elder would never miss a meeting
23:46Meera
23:47Where are you?
24:00They're all at the singing sea
24:03If you knew, you'd want to tear me apart right now, wouldn't you?
24:19Lyra, last night I heard Caius arguing with his officer
24:22They mentioned the singing sea
24:24Said they caught important war prisoners
24:28Isn't that a royal forbidden zone?
24:30What kind of people would be locked up there?
24:35Your Highness
24:36I think I need to leave the palace for a while
24:38Now?
24:40But we're supposed to go pray at the temple this afternoon
24:47I lost something very important
24:49I have to find it
24:52It's me, I'm Vesper
24:54What happened?
24:57Where's Meera?
24:58Did Meera send you to find me?
25:02Seventeen of them
25:04All captured
25:05And the elders
25:08Understood
25:09Hide in the woods outside the city
25:11Wait for me
25:16Meera
25:18It's Meera
25:22Wait for me
25:23Wait for me
25:23Wait for me
25:25Wait for me
25:25Wait for me
25:28Where did you go?
25:32I
25:33Went to see an old friend
25:35It's dangerous out there
25:38Lyra
25:39Do you have a secret?
25:40Can you tell me?
25:41Your Highness
25:43Some secrets will cost a life
25:57That's the water channel we used to use
25:59They've welded shut
26:05Only three guards inside
26:06Follow me
26:07Meera should be inside
26:15Princess
26:17You shouldn't have come
26:23Move
26:24Now
26:31I've been waiting for you
26:33There's no way out
26:34Vesper
26:36Stay
26:51Princess
26:52Go to the sea
27:01Vito
27:11Princess
27:12You rely
27:22Too few names
27:24What I want to judge
27:26Is the lie of the entire palace city
27:32We can't save them
27:34Meera's gone too
27:37He didn't slaughter the past us
27:39He's slaughtering the us of now
27:42And the us of now
27:43Still has a voice
27:51I sent them back to the dungeon
27:53Come back with me
27:55I promise they live
27:56Your promise
27:57Is it those 3,000 graves from 6 years ago?
28:03Tell me what you want
28:05Anything
28:06What I want
28:08You can't give
28:09You already owe
28:143,000 lives
28:15How will you pay?
28:17My God
28:17I'm sorry
28:19I'm sorry
28:19I'm sorry
28:20I'm
28:20sorry 180å“¡
28:22Seven
28:32sorry I'm
28:38sorry Can I
28:39Say I'm
28:53It's the princess.
29:38My lord, the flagship is lost, no survivors, and the messenger sent to deliver the execution
29:43order to the singing sea.
29:44Where are the messengers?
29:45All three messenger boats were capsized by huge waves less than a mile from shore.
29:48Carrier pigeons crashed into the sea the moment they flew out.
29:51We've lost all contact with the garrison.
29:54The sea I conquered for six years, now it's becoming a war.
29:57That's not something an ordinary person can do.
30:03I can't move a single soldier to the coast.
30:06My lord, this venom, it's from back then.
30:10Her voice can destroy everything.
30:11Only this can silence her one more time.
30:13But the entrance to the singing sea is already controlled by her people.
30:16We can't get it in.
30:17No need to send it in.
30:18The underground water pipes are still ours.
30:20Pour it into the upstream source, that's enough.
30:22My lord, that will kill every siren's held there.
30:25I know.
30:32It's the venom in the water!
30:34That's how they killed the princess's voice back then!
30:43He wants to take my voice away.
30:45One more time.
30:47I heard the lord can't hold the sirens back anymore.
30:48The whole sea is full of their songs.
30:50That so-called hero of the sea back then, wasn't it a borrowed reputation?
30:54She's stripping away every honor I lived on.
30:57Just as I stripped away her people.
31:01The ancient blood awakens.
31:06Break the chains.
31:08Return to the sea.
31:10What is this monster power?
31:28The sea returns to its masters.
31:34Princess!
31:35Drown the whole palace city!
31:37Let them taste what extinction feels like!
31:39Their children shouldn't pay for their father's debts.
31:43The sea!
31:44It's falling from the sky!
31:51The power I schemed for six years ago.
31:57Now.
32:00I can do nothing.
32:14I can do nothing.
32:33The sea!
32:35The sea has eyes!
32:37Look! Who is that?
32:55My man! Order the Mage Towers now!
32:58The water is flooding in!
33:00It's already destroyed the memorial and the statue!
33:07It's useless.
33:10This is her roll call.
33:19Please!
33:21No!
33:25Gods!
33:26I was on the shore then.
33:29I thought they were just beasts.
33:33The sound, it carries across the entire coast.
33:46This melody, it's exactly the same as my motherland's morning song.
34:06I thought that we were really exploring this journey.
34:07That sounds like a man, you know.
34:07I didn't care for the story, but we are just about to wait.
34:08I've got to wait for this end of the night.
34:09By now!
34:09We'll be right back!
34:10We're back!
34:19We'll be right back!
34:19I don't know.
34:49This is the Royal Seal. This is the Military Teller. This is the Imperial Decree Seal. He used these three
34:54things to kill my father and brother. Today they leave with me.
35:02My lord, her highness is gone.
35:05And the rosewood chest in the hidden compartment of your study, it's empty too.
35:17She didn't just leave. She took every token I needed to command this empire.
35:26Did you think I married you out of obedience? Six years ago, while you slaughtered the sirens, you also wiped
35:32out my motherland's royal family.
35:34You used my father's and brother's lives to force me into being your queen.
35:38Every day I looked at you. I was counting down to when you would die.
35:42Now the sea has come back, and I should take back what belongs to me. I don't forgive you. Not
35:49ever.
35:49The alliance I was proud of, it was built on her blood-stoked hatred.
35:53The safe woman I protected, she wanted to kill me with her own hands.
35:57All of it, all of it, all of it, was a lie.
36:08Come.
36:09Your majesty, still waiting for your army?
36:12They've already thrown their armor into the sea outside the city, begging for forgiveness.
36:19Elias, you should run too.
36:24Run! I knelt under this throne for six years. Your so-called hero of the sea name, I built it
36:32for you with severed heads.
36:34Now the sea is back. You can't hold it down, and you want us to die with you?
36:39Hand over the royal seal and the treasury order. You're not the king anymore.
36:43You're a cursed disaster.
36:46This seat belongs to someone who can keep the land alive.
36:49Give it to you, Elias. Listen to what's outside.
36:57The sea doesn't want the royal seal.
36:59Sit, then, if you think you can survive the night in that chair.
37:07This is what I traded three 3,000 lives for.
37:283,000 lives!
37:303,000 children you dumped into the sea, Trench!
37:36Princess, let me kill him.
37:38My son.
37:39They were on that beach that night.
37:41Let me kill him!
37:43We don't use his way.
37:45Why? He's a monster! He slaughtered our whole people!
37:49If today we kill a man kneeling for death, then this sea will no longer be the Singing Sea. It
37:54will be another land filled with hate.
37:55Go back.
37:56The sea is waiting for you.
37:58Not your death here.
38:01Why save me? Kill me?
38:03Please.
38:04Killing would be too easy.
38:06Live.
38:06Watch this sea.
38:07Remember every life.
38:08This is the rest of your existence.
38:10Every time you close your eyes, I want you to dream of those 3,000 voices.
38:15Don't leave me alone!
38:17Don't make me carry these memories by myself!
38:21The sea doesn't want me.
38:22The land won't let me return.
38:24Run!
38:34Stop!
38:36Stop!
38:45Live.
38:47Take your voice away, you.
38:50No!
38:51I can't believe.
39:28Every time I try to move, the sea pushes me back.
39:33This is the rest of my existence.
