Short filmTranscript
00:00:15I must be crazy, but I have to know the truth.
00:00:20No, light up, please!
00:00:27Sharks!
00:00:29No!
00:00:34I can't swim. Am I going to die here?
00:00:40Don't be afraid, Noah. Daddy will catch you.
00:00:43Dad.
00:00:52Dad was right. Mermaids are real.
00:01:14Mom? What's wrong?
00:01:16Noah, your father is dead.
00:01:20Otherwise, you are mine.
00:01:31Mom? What's wrong?
00:01:33Noah, your father is dead.
00:01:36What? 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. I won't allow you to touch
00:01:52his disgusting research.
00:01:53No, I have to investigate dad's death. Dad was called a madman his whole life because he said there were
00:01:59mermaids in the sea. I have to go to that island.
00:02:03Dad 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.
00:02:14Someone's been here. What are they looking for?
00:02:24My god. Dad, what did you hide here?
00:02:32They are real.
00:02:37Mermaids really exist.
00:02:42Monster!
00:02:44Mermaids legs are connected by membranes. Once in water, they fuse into a powerful tail fin.
00:02:50They are extremely sensitive to music and firelight. On 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.
00:03:01My 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?
00:03:11She bit through the chain and escaped back to the sea. After your father went into town for supplies,
00:03:14I got word that he had passed away. I'm sorry, kid. He was a good man.
00:03:17Why are you coming back now?
00:03:18I'm a PhD student researching genetically modified species. Your father's research notes are very
00:03:21important for my thesis. Also, I brought supplies. Canned food, batteries, power banks,
00:03:24there'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
00:03:32for now.
00:03:33Dad's note said, full moon night, firelight, will they come?
00:03:39Shit! It's not a mermaid, it's a shark!
00:04:07Oh god, this is real.
00:04:16Dad wasn't crazy. He never was.
00:04:22I'm alive.
00:04:25Blood? What happened?
00:04:28We're rich. This thing is definitely worth a fortune. It's the one who saved me last night.
00:04:35Stop! Are you crazy? He's not human? It took everything I had to knock him out from behind.
00:04:41This monster's incredibly strong. He saved my life. When I fell into the sea, he pulled me up from underwater.
00:04:46What? If it weren't for him, I'd have been eaten by sharks. Wait, a male mermaid actively saved you?
00:04:53That shows he has social skills, emotional awareness. This is even more valuable than I imagined.
00:04:58He is not your cash cow.
00:04:59Fine, fine, fine. Don't kill him. But we have to deal with him, don't we? He's bleeding on the living
00:05:05room floor.
00:05:05At this rate, either he dies, or when he wakes up, we both die.
00:05:20I might better see you than we're draining the both crew over here.
00:05:24We'll put him in the tank. Water might help him recover faster. Dad's notes mention that.
00:05:28Recover faster? Then he'll tear us apart faster when he wakes up.
00:05:31Do you have a better idea?
00:05:39Three, two, one!
00:05:53Everything in Dad's notes is real.
00:05:56If he wakes up, pray he just dies. Dead, we can still make a fortune.
00:06:01I'll give you a name. I'll call you Kai. It means ocean.
00:06:14Damn, he's awake.
00:06:28When 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. You can see it in his eyes.
00:06:54I just see a big fish worth five million.
00:06:56All right, I'm heading up. We'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? Who are you sending these photos to?
00:07:18For evidence of your business. It's called being prepared.
00:07:23When it's just the two of us, you're different.
00:07:26You hate him, don't you?
00:07:31Kai?
00:07:43Kai? What are you-
00:07:44Noah. Mine.
00:07:46He kissed me and said mine.
00:07:49Does he know what that word means?
00:07:50No matter what, he can't be locked in that tank forever.
00:07:54He has intelligence. He has emotions. He's not an experiment.
00:07:57Jack, we should let him go.
00:07:59What did you say?
00:08:00We have photos. We have dad's journals. We already have enough evidence.
00:08:03Let 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.
00:08:08He's not business. He's an intelligent being. He saved my life.
00:08:11Photos can be called fakes. Your dad's journals are worthless in academia.
00:08:14A living specimen is the only proof.
00:08:17You hear that? He senses something. What he senses is your stupidity.
00:08:24I said, let him go. This is my father's house. I'm in charge here.
00:08:31Don't do anything crazy. You're exactly like your idiot father. Stubborn fools. He died because of
00:08:37his soft heart. Today, you'll meet the same fate. You know how my father died? Enough talk. Move
00:08:41aside, or I'll kill you.
00:08:48I'll count to three. Three? Even if you kill me, I won't move. Two?
00:09:01One?
00:09:03Four?
00:09:09Four?
00:09:12Two?
00:09:25Four?
00:09:27If you fear me, kill me.
00:09:35I won't kill you.
00:09:36Otherwise, you are mine.
00:09:48No, come on.
00:09:54Come with me.
00:09:55Where?
00:09:57You're hurt.
00:09:58We should treat that first.
00:10:11This is Dad's old phone?
00:10:13No.
00:10:20Sent to Mom, I might be in danger.
00:10:25Protect 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.
00:10:46He's curious about everything.
00:10:48I tried to teach him to wave hello.
00:10:50His learning speed far exceeds that of a human toddler.
00:10:55A genius.
00:10:57Less than 20 seconds.
00:10:58His spatial reasoning is astonishing.
00:11:07No.
00:11:08No.
00:11:09No.
00:11:09No.
00:11:09No.
00:11:10No.
00:11:10No.
00:11:10That's my son!
00:11:11Noah!
00:11:12Noah!
00:11:13Noah!
00:11:16Noah, if you're watching this, you need to prepare yourself.
00:11:22Noah, this is biologically impossible.
00:11:26He only started changing dramatically after seeing your photo.
00:11:29You triggered his maturation.
00:11:31He has chosen you!
00:11:34He 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.
00:11:57Tortured.
00:11:58They 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.
00:12:04They want to sell her to the government.
00:12:05They said they'd already sold one before.
00:12:07For 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.
00:12:10If something happens to me.
00:12:11Remember, Dad loves you more than life itself.
00:12:12You're the only thing I'll regret leaving behind.
00:12:14Jack couldn't have been Dad's assistant.
00:12:15He was one of them.
00:12:16One of the ones who brought that female mermaid.
00:12:18The ones who needed someone to fix her.
00:12:19The basement tank wasn't for observation.
00:12:22It was for imprisonment.
00:12:23Dad didn't die of a heart attack.
00:12:25That was just a lie they made up.
00:12:27And Kai killed Jack.
00:12:29For the first time,
00:12:32I think he did the right thing.
00:12:39Don't.
00:12:40Leave.
00:12:42But 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.
00:12:59Those people will come sooner or later.
00:13:00I've already sent a distress signal.
00:13:02A boat will come for me.
00:13:05But you can't be here.
00:13:07If they see you.
00:13:09Noah.
00:13:11Go.
00:13:22Mr. Reid.
00:13:23The Coast Guard sent me to pick you up.
00:13:35This isn't the direction to Island City.
00:13:38Where is Jack?
00:13:39I don't know what you're talking about.
00:13:40Don't play dumb.
00:13:41Jack came to this island for your father's research and then he disappeared.
00:13:44You're the last person who saw him.
00:13:48One more time.
00:13:49Where's Jack?
00:13:52He's dead.
00:13:55Who killed him?
00:13:57Who killed him?
00:13:57Who killed him?
00:13:57Who killed him?
00:13:58Who killed him?
00:13:59Who killed him?
00:14:00I'll count to three.
00:14:03One.
00:14:04Two.
00:14:04Two.
00:14:17Don't move.
00:14:31Kai, Kai, look at me
00:14:33No
00:14:36Okay
00:14:38Why did you come back?
00:14:39I told you to go, you could've
00:14:41Won't leave
00:14:59No
00:15:02Mr. Reed, 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
00:15:11Noah
00:15:13Noah
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
00:15:30Look at yourself
00:15:32With a man of unknown origin
00:15:34He saved my life
00:15:35Just 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
00:15:45No
00:15:50Come find me
00:15:52If you can
00:15:57No
00:16:05I found you
00:16:09Three years
00:16:11I spent three years becoming someone they trust
00:16:18Finished my PhD
00:16:19Endured every insincerous smile
00:16:21Every disgusting dinner
00:16:22All 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
00:16:33Hold on a little longer
00:16:35We're almost there
00:16:48We're almost there
00:16:48I found you
00:17:04How did you, how did you get here?
00:17:08By plane.
00:17:14You can talk.
00:17:16Full sentences.
00:17:17Three years of study.
00:17:22She's the female mermaid dad mentioned in the video?
00:17:25Serena, she needs water.
00:17:37I love you.
00:17:39I won't pretend I don't.
00:17:41I'm not human.
00:17:42I'm not going to dance around the word.
00:17:47Kai, a 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.
00:17:59Serena, we're leaving.
00:18:00Stop.
00:18:02I want you.
00:18:04I've only ever wanted you.
00:18:08That man, Marcus, he's with Oryde.
00:18:13I'm using him.
00:18:15For three years, I've been pretending to be with...
00:18:17O-R-D.
00:18:18A government secret research facility.
00:18:20My father used to work there.
00:18:21He discovered the truth and wanted to expose it.
00:18:24Then they killed him.
00:18:25Do you know why I went for a PhD?
00:18:27I needed an identity to infiltrate it.
00:18:29I needed to find evidence proof that my father was murdered.
00:18:33Marcus is in the core department.
00:18:36When he has top-level clearance, getting close to him was the only way.
00:18:42Do you hate him?
00:18:44Every second.
00:18:48You don't have to carry this alone.
00:18:57Kai, there's one more thing.
00:19:00Inside Oryde, there might be other mermaids imprisoned.
00:19:03How many?
00:19:05I'm not sure, but I heard sounds in the B-level basement.
00:19:08Clicking sounds.
00:19:10Not machines.
00:19:11It's language.
00:19:14Serena!
00:19:16I secretly recorded this in Oryde's B-section.
00:19:20Human ears can't hear it, but you should be able to.
00:19:28Serena!
00:19:34What did you hear?
00:19:35Three voices.
00:19:37Two females.
00:19:38One child.
00:19:40They're screaming.
00:19:41Calling for help.
00:19:42The voices are very weak.
00:19:44They're about to give up.
00:19:45Serena, she went through that too.
00:19:47I know.
00:19:47Dad mentioned it in the video.
00:19:48You don't know the whole story.
00:19:50She was captured as a child.
00:19:52Locked in an iron cage for an entire year.
00:19:54Your father contacted...
00:19:55She's a queen.
00:19:56The highest ranking being in our kind.
00:19:58But she was tortured so badly she forgot who she was.
00:20:03Take me there.
00:20:05I want to save them.
00:20:08No.
00:20:08That's a military-grade security facility.
00:20:10Rushing in is suicide.
00:20:11So let them continue rotting inside.
00:20:13Not giving up.
00:20:14The timing isn't right.
00:20:14I 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 ask.
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.
00:20:31Learned quite a bit.
00:20:35Better than what I make.
00:20:39What exactly is her status?
00:20:41You said she's a queen.
00:20:42In our society, the queen is the highest ranking existence.
00:20:45She has four or five betas around her.
00:20:46Nest.
00:20:47When a queen matures, she enters a nesting period.
00:20:49She chooses her mate, forms a harem.
00:20:51Hera?
00:20:51Multiple males?
00:20:52Four or five is normal.
00:20:53An older queen can have 20.
00:20:55Not all are used for mating.
00:20:56Most are guardians.
00:20:57So right now?
00:20:58She's about to enter her first nesting period.
00:21:00She'll become unstable.
00:21:02Instinct will drive her to seduce any suitable male.
00:21:05Including humans?
00:21:06Humans have no resistance to a queen's allure.
00:21:08That's also why I can't leave her alone in the sea.
00:21:10What about you?
00:21:11Before, were you also a queen's beta?
00:21:14A long time ago, my queen was killed by humans.
00:21:17So were my brothers.
00:21:19After that, I met your father.
00:21:20Saw your photo.
00:21:21My body changed.
00:21:22I evolved from a beta into an alpha.
00:21:25Because of me?
00:21:27Because you're my mate.
00:21:29My instinct made the choice.
00:21:31Irreversible.
00:21:41Kai, put on a shirt!
00:21:46Surprise!
00:21:47Guess who got promoted?
00:21:48Senior research angelist!
00:21:50I made it!
00:21:53Congratulations.
00:21:55You have guests?
00:21:57My friend.
00:21:57From back home.
00:21:59You never mentioned having friends from back home.
00:22:03We've only known each other for a year, Marcus.
00:22:05There's a lot you don't know.
00:22:06Hello, I'm Marcus.
00:22:08Not much of a talker?
00:22:10He had throat surgery.
00:22:11His voice is different from most people's.
00:22:15And this is...
00:22:17Also a friend.
00:22:19She has skin issues.
00:22:20Needs 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.
00:22:30Marcus, why didn't you call before coming?
00:22:33I came to celebrate.
00:22:34But you look busy.
00:22:36Another time.
00:22:38That was too close.
00:22:42There's a smell on him.
00:22:43What kind of smell?
00:22:45The same smell as the people who captured my kind.
00:22:51Did he touch you?
00:22:55Six months.
00:22:56You've been with him for six months.
00:22:57Has he touched you?
00:22:59Kissed.
00:22:59To keep up the cover.
00:23:01That's all.
00:23:01If he touches even one finger on you again.
00:23:05I will kill him.
00:23:07You can't kill anyone.
00:23:09Not here.
00:23:10Not now.
00:23:12Then don't let him touch you.
00:23:19It won't happen again, I promise you.
00:23:24The surveillance shuts down for maintenance at midnight.
00:23:27We have two hours.
00:23:43Come in.
00:23:54Get out.
00:23:55No!
00:24:03Your arm!
00:24:05It's fine.
00:24:05She can't control herself.
00:24:10What just happened?
00:24:12Is that the nesting response?
00:24:13Her body is looking for suitable betas.
00:24:15A queen in nesting releases a signal sent, fluorescent sound waves.
00:24:18Any male who senses it will be drawn to her.
00:24:20Including you?
00:24:21I'm an alpha.
00:24:21Alphas have no physical response to a queen.
00:24:23We only respond to our own mates.
00:24:25But betas are different.
00:24:25And humans are different.
00:24:26You're saying if a human male gets close to her nose...
00:24:28He'll lose his mind.
00:24:29So she can't leave this apartment.
00:24:30Especially if 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.
00:24:59They're behind this door.
00:25:01Now that I've been promoted, I should show you what our department really does.
00:25:12Look at this.
00:25:15What species is this from?
00:25:17Classified.
00:25:18You know how it is.
00:25:27That's not a specimen container.
00:25:29That's a live transport box.
00:25:34They're behind this door.
00:25:55Reed.
00:25:57You are?
00:25:58Marcus' assistant.
00:25:59You don't know me, but I know you.
00:26:02I also knew your father.
00:26:04I don't know what you're talking about.
00:26:05Don't act.
00:26:06You 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?
00:26:14Why 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?
00:26:26I'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.
00:26:40You'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.
00:26:49He smells like my kind.
00:26:52Alpha.
00:26:53You're Alpha.
00:26:56Kai!
00:26:57Put 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.
00:27:05Five years ago, O-Ride recruited me.
00:27:06Set a set with Stain-Den-Reed Species Protection Program.
00:27:08They called the project Leviathan Experiment 2.
00:27:10Initially, the military found a few mermaid corpses.
00:27:12Then it became live capture.
00:27:13Then...
00:27:13To Darren and Mars' Lady.
00:27:14Did my tissue...
00:27:15Gene 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.
00:27:20Then they killed him.
00:27:21They 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.
00:27:28He started secretly contacting the outside world.
00:27:29Those poachers.
00:27:30The 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?
00:27:35Twelve.
00:27:35Five betas.
00:27:36Sedated 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.
00:27:41Has never seen this guy.
00:27:41His top secret.
00:27:42Requires level 7 clearance and above to access.
00:27:44Why is he so special?
00:27:45Because now it's a hybrid.
00:27:45Because the filtration only keeps them barely alive.
00:27:47Their skin is cracking.
00:27:48Their immune systems are failing.
00:27:49At 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.
00:27:59What else should I know?
00:28:00Marcus Shaw is not some senior research analyst.
00:28:02He'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.
00:28:34Every 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.
00:28:59But we only have that 15-minute window.
00:29:02Enough.
00:29:03Not 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?
00:29:45Kai, what about you?
00:29:47My life has never been mine.
00:29:50It belongs to you.
00:29:51Don't say that.
00:29:57We come back alive together.
00:29:59That's an order.
00:30:01Roger that.
00:30:06Uniforms are real.
00:30:07The access cards will get you through the first checkpoints.
00:30:09The fourth B-4's door I'll open from the inside.
00:30:11I'll enter the surveillance room at 2.55.
00:30:12Shut down B-4's camera fed at 3 Kugger Sharp.
00:30:14You'll have 15 minutes.
00:30:15Evacuation route?
00:30:17Southside Freight Passage.
00:30:18Leads to the underground parking garage.
00:30:20I parked a van in spot C-7.
00:30:22Keys are behind the left front fender.
00:30:27She's conserving strength.
00:30:29She's capable of more than we imagine.
00:30:38Let's go.
00:30:42Let's go.
00:30:43Let's go.
00:30:46Serena, you stay here and wait for our signal.
00:30:58Stay close to me and try not to talk.
00:31:05Go ahead.
00:31:14Ethan said he'd open the fourth door from the inside.
00:31:16We have to wait.
00:31:30Seawater.
00:31:32And blood.
00:31:42It's okay.
00:31:47My 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.
00:32:17Help.
00:32:19Kai!
00:32:21We can't make noise.
00:32:23We only have 7 minutes left.
00:32:38We only have 7 minutes left.
00:32:43Noah.
00:32:44He looks like you.
00:32:51Someone's coming.
00:32:53It's exactly the same.
00:33:01Who are you?
00:33:11Welcome to B4, Noah.
00:33:13I've been waiting a long time for this day.
00:33:17I 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.
00:33:32You're living data, Noah.
00:33:32A pure natural variable.
00:33:34What are you talking about?
00:33:37Your father?
00:33:38Your 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.
00:33:46So we kicked him out.
00:33:47There 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.
00:33:54Disappeared with him.
00:33:55Raised him as human.
00:33:56Let 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.
00:34:15You'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 mutate.
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.
00:34:44No!
00:34:46No!
00:34:46No!
00:34:48No!
00:34:48No!
00:34:49No!
00:34:49No!
00:34:49No!
00:34:49No!
00:34:51No!
00:34:52No!
00:34:52No!
00:35:00Look, a miracle's about to happen.
00:35:06See?
00:35:07You just need to drown him.
00:35:10Gene activation successful.
00:35:11Gild slips complete.
00:35:12Skin florentine normal.
00:35:13The only hybrid to survive to adulthood.
00:35:22Soulmate pairing, living specimen A and specimen B.
00:35:25Genetic compatibility test results are in.
00:35:27Perfect match.
00:35:28Dream on.
00:35:29Of course, the most valuable data requires your cooperation.
00:35:31Gene fusion response during natural mating.
00:35:32This is data we've never obtained.
00:35:34We already have data on mermaid reproduction, but the union of a hybrid and a blood alpha, alpha,
00:35:37this will be the ultimate breakthrough of the Leviathan Project.
00:35:39Touch a single hair on his head.
00:35:41I dare you.
00:35:42I was hoping you'd cooperate willingly.
00:35:48Your queen friend.
00:35:49Ethan brought her into the building, thought I wouldn't know.
00:35:52Too bad he underestimated this building's surveillance density.
00:35:56So, you cooperate with data collection.
00:35:59I promise not to harm her.
00:36:01Otherwise, not now.
00:36:07Good.
00:36:08A wise choice.
00:36:10Fine.
00:36:26Who?
00:36:33Your nightmare.
00:36:34Serena, make it quick.
00:36:36What kind of monster is this?
00:36:37I can't even control my own body.
00:36:41Ethan need to learn.
00:36:46Catch her!
00:36:52Well done, Serena.
00:36:53I'll go rescue them first.
00:36:58Can you walk?
00:36:59Yes.
00:37:05Kai!
00:37:06They're helping us!
00:37:07When the control wears off, they'll remember everything.
00:37:08They'll become threats.
00:37:09Help them flushes.
00:37:19She can't last much longer!
00:37:20Go!
00:37:23Go!
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
00:37:53and stole highly dangerous experimental materials.
00:37:56Authorities warn the public.
00:37:58If you encounter suspicious individuals, report immediately and do not occur.
00:38:12They've labeled us as criminals.
00:38:18Dangerous experimental materials.
00:38:20They won't even use the word beings.
00:38:38She needs seawater.
00:38:39If 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.
00:38:45We'll have to take back roads.
00:38:49This should last you a while.
00:38:51I 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.
00:38:56Get the truth out.
00:38:57That's why I took this risk.
00:38:59Protect him.
00:39:21Will you come with me?
00:39:22Will you come with me?
00:39:34I'll go with you.
00:40:05This isn't a primitive cave.
00:40:07This is a civilization.
00:40:13No autism either.
00:40:19They're kneeling to you.
00:40:21It's been away too long.
00:40:22I thought I was dead.
00:40:26I'm dead.
00:40:39An alpha needs his omega.
00:40:43Tell me.
00:40:44In 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.
00:40:54If 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.
00:41:22I know.
00:41:24I know.
00:41:39What did he say?
00:41:43He says, you must leave.
00:41:46Your appearance will draw human attention.
00:41:48If there's too much activity, humans might discover this settlement.
00:42:05Thank you, bathtub.
00:42:07That bathtub was too small.
00:42:09You deserve the whole ocean.
00:42:16A brief piece.
00:42:18I should cherish it.
00:42:36There are 12 people still locked in those tanks.
00:42:40One of them is my brother.
00:42:42One of them is my brother.
00:42:51You 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?
00:42:55So what?
00:42:55We hide on this island forever?
00:43:00I'm going back.
00:43:02Back where?
00:43:03R.I.D.
00:43:04I'm going to get them all out.
00:43:07You're insane.
00:43:09I've never been more clear-headed than now.
00:43:11You just escaped from that place.
00:43:12They almost killed you.
00:43:13They held you underwater to drown you.
00:43:14Do 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?
00:43:18Pretend 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.
00:43:28And now you want me to watch you walk into their trap?
00:43:32We 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.
00:43:58You came back.
00:44:00I went to the tribe.
00:44:04I asked them to send warriors.
00:44:06Told them about Ored.
00:44:07Twelve imprisoned tribe members.
00:44:08Hybrid experiments.
00:44:08The genetic weapons program.
00:44:10What did they say?
00:44:11The elders need to discuss.
00:44:14But they didn't refuse.
00:44:15You were right.
00:44:16We can't be selfish.
00:44:20I'd rather die fighting than rot in false peace.
00:44:26The elders want us to go to Glondis.
00:44:28The 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?
00:44:35Two days and two nights.
00:44:37Non-stop swimming.
00:44:40Leave tomorrow.
00:44:42Now.
00:44:47You'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.
00:44:59This is where Kai grew up.
00:45:06They're kneeling to you?
00:45:07I've been away too long.
00:45:08They thought I was dead.
00:45:10Kai!
00:45:11You 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 Glendis?
00:45:17He's my mate.
00:45:19Kai.
00:45:20You've brought an outsider into the sacred place.
00:45:23He's not an outsider.
00:45:25He's my Omega.
00:45:26A hybrid.
00:45:27Half human, half mermaid.
00:45:29You've chosen a mate who can never fully belong to our world.
00:45:32He belongs to me.
00:45:33That's enough.
00:45:34The purpose of your visit?
00:45:35Orite is holding 12 of our people captive.
00:45:37I request that Glendis 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.
00:45:48You left for five years.
00:45:49Now you return and demand we die for your impulse?
00:45:5112 of our people are locked in an underground human laboratory.
00:45:55Some have already lost their minds from torture.
00:45:57And there's a child among them who has never seen the sea since birth.
00:45:59That is human business.
00:46:01We 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.
00:46:11This isn't survival, it's slow death.
00:46:12You left for five years.
00:46:14Now you return and demand we die for your impulse?
00:46:16And you've chosen a hybrid as your mate.
00:46:18Kai, he's not that your bloodline should continue the purest jeep.
00:46:21You want to choose a mate for me?
00:46:22This isn't a personal matter.
00:46:24It concerns the future of our kind.
00:46:26He is my future.
00:46:27Anyone who wants to touch him goes through me first.
00:46:33This contains all the records of what human governments have done to our people.
00:46:36Every experiment.
00:46:38Every name of the dead.
00:46:39If 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.
00:46:45Whether you join or not.
00:46:48You have your mother's fire.
00:46:51Perhaps we have forgotten the meaning of fire.
00:46:54At dawn, Glanders will prepare warriors for war.
00:46:58Kai.
00:47:00Your scent has changed.
00:47:02What?
00:47:06Kai.
00:47:12Your scent has changed.
00:47:13What?
00:47:16That scent?
00:47:16Your mate?
00:47:17Yes.
00:47:19He's about to enter heat.
00:47:21Kai, his scent.
00:47:22You have to take him away from the tribe.
00:47:23I know.
00:47:23What's happening?
00:47:24Your body is changing.
00:47:26I need to take you somewhere safe.
00:47:29I can't control it.
00:47:31Don't try to control it.
00:47:33Your omega instincts are awakening.
00:47:35This 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.
00:47:53I will.
00:48:00Wait for me.
00:48:02I don't want you carrying a child in the middle of a war.
00:48:03Glanis can provide 200 warriors, but we alone aren't enough.
00:48:06Oryd has military-grade weaponry.
00:48:08I know.
00:48:08That's why I didn't just notify Glanis.
00:48:13The same message traveled across the entire ocean.
00:48:16The message was just one sentence.
00:48:17We stand together, no longer silent.
00:48:19Kai.
00:48:20You sent out the call before we even left?
00:48:22On the fourth day on the deserted island.
00:48:24The first thing I did after leaving Noah.
00:48:29The way you look in that, it's not like the Kai I know.
00:48:31I've always been like this.
00:48:33It's just that what you saw before was the me in front of you.
00:48:38I'm coming with you.
00:48:40Your body hasn't recovered yet.
00:48:41The heat-
00:48:41That's my brother locked in there.
00:48:43You stay behind to coordinate communications.
00:48:45No 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.
00:48:59War.
00:49:02Fire 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 12 tribes of us.
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.
00:49:23I am a peace emasid.
00:49:24Your guns aren't necessary.
00:49:26What are you doing?
00:49:27I came to negotiate.
00:49:29RID's orders.
00:49:30Detain all entities.
00:49:32Ah!
00:49:39They've detained the peace envoy.
00:49:44War.
00:49:53It'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?
00:50:16All hands, emergency assent!
00:50:33Abandon ship!
00:50:40Annihilator.
00:50:41Fifthly, the circuit to retreat.
00:50:43Massive explosion detected in the eastern sea.
00:50:45Not ours.
00:50:46It's human depth guard.
00:50:47The east, that's...
00:50:49Queen Serena's settlement.
00:50:52They control the narrative.
00:51:01Serena.
00:51:03They bombed the entire settlement.
00:51:07117 lives.
00:51:09Just to eliminate potential threats.
00:51:21Massive 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
00:51:31to human safety.
00:51:32The Department of Defense has authorized the use of deadly force against all non-human aquatic
00:51:37entities.
00:51:38No news story mentions the 12 imprisoned mermaids.
00:51:41No news story mentions Ored or the 117 lives of the eastern settlement.
00:51:45They control the narrative.
00:51:47Then we take the narrative back.
00:52:00Bombs won't solve anything.
00:52:02You 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.
00:52:08Hmm?
00:52:08How?
00:52:09Global broadcast.
00:52:10Expose everything about Ored.
00:52:12Experiment records, imprisonment footage, death lists, everything.
00:52:15You want us to expose ourselves to all of humanity?
00:52:18You're already exposed.
00:52:1978 submarines sunk.
00:52:21The whole world knows you exist.
00:52:22The question now isn't whether to expose.
00:52:24It's who defines what you are.
00:52:26The 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.
00:52:39Experiment records, surgery footage, internal communications, as much as you can get.
00:52:43I 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.
00:52:49I don't need major media.
00:52:50I 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.
00:52:59Closest major city to the coast.
00:53:01I need to find someone willing to report this.
00:53:03You'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.
00:53:28You 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.
00:53:54This is really...
00:53:55My 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.
00:54:04We're recording tonight.
00:54:05Ready?
00:54:06My 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.
00:54:15The executing agency is called Oride.
00:54:16In its basement level four right now, there are 12, 12 living peeing locked in tanks.
00:54:21My name is Kai.
00:54:22You haven't won anything.
00:54:27The terrorist attacks you see in the news are cornered people fighting back.
00:54:31Their peace amfibi 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.
00:54:50I am not a monster.
00:54:51I am not a weapon.
00:54:52I am not an experiment.
00:54:54I am someone who loves someone.
00:54:57That'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.
00:55:07Oride, they've locked onto this location.
00:55:09How long?
00:55:12At most, two hours.
00:55:16Let them come.
00:55:22You haven't won anything.
00:55:24They'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's secret project has received over 200 million views in the past six hours.
00:55:44The White House has declined to comment on the video's content, stating that it is investigating its authenticity.
00:55:49The Pentagon spokesperson claims the video is a deepfake, 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-a-bonnets' government responses.
00:56:10Seven countries' parliaments are demanding-ment responses.
00:56:14Someone's coming.
00:56:15A black SUV.
00:56:17This is an elaborate hoax.
00:56:19Noah 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.
00:56:32They need to see it.
00:56:33We meet again.
00:56:40Noah!
00:56:41Noah!
00:56:41Wake up!
00:56:42They're here!
00:56:42What?
00:56:44We meet again.
00:56:45I notified the Navy before I came.
00:56:47The area within two kilometers of this house is already sealed.
00:56:49You can kill me, but if you're getting away...
00:56:51Hand over the equipment.
00:56:52All of it.
00:56:53Original files, backups, chips.
00:56:54Everything.
00:56:55You 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.
00:57:01Noah, you are the most valuable research subject.
00:57:03I promise you'll be treated well.
00:57:05Like how you treated those 12?
00:57:10Go!
00:57:16You can kill me, but you can't kill the truth.
00:57:20The video has already been seen by 200 million people.
00:57:24The files are already in the hands of journalists in 30 countries.
00:57:27Killing me will only prove that everything is true.
00:57:31You think you've won?
00:57:32You 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.
00:57:37That's the outcome you want to see.
00:57:38It's not inevitable.
00:57:39I've studied you for five years.
00:57:40I know this world better than you.
00:57:41Humans won't accept a species more powerful than themselves.
00:57:43They'll destroy it.
00:57:43Control, not for protection.
00:57:45Last chance.
00:57:45Come back with me.
00:57:553 years ago, I learned one thing.
00:57:59Killing doesn't solve problems.
00:58:07You all saw it.
00:58:08He shot us.
00:58:09And we chose not to kill him.
00:58:11This is who we are.
00:58:15Why do you always throw yourself in front of me?
00:58:19Because you're mine.
00:58:24Open the door.
00:58:25Now.
00:58:27In view of the development trend in the past 72 hours,
00:58:31the Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2847,
00:58:35sending a special investigation team into the ORD facility
00:58:39to verify all allegations.
00:58:42Everyone stop what you're doing.
00:58:44From this moment, this facility is under UN supervision.
00:58:47Open the B4 section.
00:58:49Ma'am, that's a classified area.
00:58:50It requires...
00:58:50The Security Council resolutherized me to any area of this facility.
00:58:53Open the door.
00:58:53Now.
00:58:54Now.
00:59:06Document everything.
00:59:08Every take.
00:59:09Every file.
00:59:12All of it.
00:59:21You don't understand.
00:59:23You don't understand anything.
00:59:24You don't understand.
00:59:25You don't understand anything.
00:59:27You don't understand anything.
00:59:35You don't understand anything.
00:59:37Let them come.
00:59:41I'm late.
00:59:44But I'm here.
00:59:54You need to eat something.
00:59:55He's been locked up since birth.
00:59:57Over 20 years, never seen the sky, never walked on sand.
01:00:00No one has ever called his name.
01:00:03Every 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.
01:00:11I know.
01:00:11But I can make it right.
01:00:23Does he have a name?
01:00:25Not yet.
01:00:26Noah 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.
01:01:01You 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.
01:01:24Yes.
01:01:26Very big.
01:01:28Big.
01:01:36Does he have a name yet?
01:01:38Noah said he'll choose when he's ready.
01:01:40It 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.
01:01:57Second, permanently close Oryde and release all imprisoned individuals.
01:02:01Third, designate international marine protected areas.
01:02:05Fourth, establish a human marine intelligence species joint dialogue committee.
01:02:13The resolution is adopted.
01:02:32What now?
01:02:34Now, we begin the really hard part.
01:02:38Harder than war?
01:02:41Ten thousand times harder.
01:02:43Ten thousand times harder getting two worlds to learn to coexist.
01:02:47Why did you have to be afraid of the safe?
01:02:57Mr. Reid, the representatives from the South Pacific Choral Tribe have arrived.
01:03:07Also, your brother's language therapy session is over.
01:03:10Have the representatives wait.
01:03:11I'll go see my brother first.
01:03:13How was today's lesson?
01:03:15Uh, teacher said I improved.
01:03:19Of course.
01:03:20You're improving quickly.
01:03:23Sky, very big.
01:03:25Yes, very big.
01:03:28I like it.
01:03:29How is she today?
01:03:31Very quiet, gentle, like her father's.
01:03:36A new generation queen.
01:03:39She will be luckier than me.
01:03:41She was born into a world that doesn't need to hide.
01:03:45Still working overtime?
01:03:46The South Pacific Tribe has objections?
01:03:50What's wrong?
01:03:51Nothing.
01:03:52Just a little dizzy.
01:03:54It's been happening a lot lately.
01:03:55Have you noticed anything different about your body lately?
01:03:58No.
01:03:59Just tired.
01:04:02You're pregnant.
01:04:03You're going to be a father.
01:04:04What did you say?
01:04:05Your mermaid genes are continuously activating.
01:04:08Tail fin transformation speed is three times faster than six months ago.
01:04:12I know all that.
01:04:13But the recent dizziness and temperature irregularities?
01:04:17Mr. Reid, your egg sag has matured.
01:04:21What do you mean?
01:04:22You're pregnant.
01:04:23About six weeks.
01:04:31Six weeks.
01:04:32As a hybrid, your gestation period may differ.
01:04:35I recommend checkups every two weeks.
01:04:44You're going to be a father.
01:04:49What did you say?
01:04:51You heard me.
01:05:02Are you sure?
01:05:06Sure.
01:05:13Stars.
01:05:14And the light in the water.
01:05:17Same.
01:05:18Yes.
01:05:19The sea in the sky.
01:05:21And the sky in the sea.
01:05:22Stop dobbling.
01:05:24The moon is waiting.
01:05:25Shut up.
01:05:30Do you regret it?
01:05:32Regret what?
01:05:34Leaving the human world.
01:05:39I'm not leaving any world behind.
01:05:45I just belong to both.
01:05:48Let's go.
01:05:53I'm not leaving any world behind.
01:05:54I'm not leaving any world behind.
01:05:54I'm not leaving any world behind.
01:05:54I'm leaving any world behind.
01:05:54I'm leaving any world behind.
