Short filmTranscript
00:15Tell me Mermaid, where is the legendary Eye of the Abyss? My patience is running out.
00:27Go to hell, Desert Dog. Don't even think about getting a single word out of me.
00:35In this desert, I have a thousand ways to make you regret your birth. If you don't speak, I will
00:40peel off your scales one by one, until you are nothing but a pile of raw meat.
00:46Still nothing? How about your nails next?
00:54Peel. Peel them all. Even if you skin me, you'll find nothing but my curse for your king.
01:05Kael, stop. Bring her to be alive. She is more useful than a corpse.
01:11Give her a mouthful of water. Just enough to keep her from dying.
01:28What if I say no? You are in my hands. I can still make you speak.
01:39Then you'll get nothing.
01:52You'll regret it. You'll never find your water.
02:02I'll get what I want, one way or another.
02:14You bastard! You filthy beast!
02:23Good. Then let me show you just how filthy I can be.
02:40Time's up. Let's move.
02:42You despicable monster!
02:43Save your breath. Words won't save you.
02:46You are scum, just like your king! Letting people die, all for your sick games!
02:51Our king bears the sand curse himself! You don't know what the hell you're talking about!
02:55If he hadn't destroyed the sacred ring, no one would be cursed! Now he only survives on one thing, siren
03:00blood!
03:01You expect me to believe your bullshit? What is your secret, my king?
03:10He doesn't care about you. You're leading your people to death.
03:18You better shut your mouth.
03:29Nora? Where are you?
03:39You think I'd let you stay together?
03:49Drink. I need you alive to tell me the secret.
03:59I will not die here.
04:03You serve a mad king.
04:05Keep my king out of your mouth.
04:20I can give you what you truly want. The things you'll never grant.
04:26I can save you.
04:29Free me and you will never thirst again.
04:36You mean it?
04:41You...
04:43Free me first.
04:45Including me.

11:32Wake up!
11:40You saved me.
11:42Why?

11:46I just didn't want you dying on me.
11:51Kale, Kale.

12:09No!
12:19No!
12:21No!
12:22No!
12:27Kale!
12:28Touch her again and I'll cut you!
12:30She tried to assassinate the king!
12:34Enough, Zara.
12:35What's between us is none of your business.
12:42You're just a bitter loser.
12:44Shut up!
12:47Next one goes right through your heart!
12:49Time!
13:04Water!
13:05We found it!
13:09Dying.
13:10Just like my father.
13:12And I couldn't even avenge him.
13:18Go to hell, useless trash!
13:20What the hell did you do?
13:23Sira!
13:47Sira!
13:49Sira!
13:50Wake up!
13:51Sira!
13:53Sira!
13:53Wake up!
14:15No.
14:15No, no, no.
14:16Sira, look at me.
14:17Wake up.
14:18Stay with me.
14:19Blood.
14:20Will my blood save you?
14:26Please, Sari.
14:27Please, look at me.
14:37Kale.
14:41Kale, you're...
14:42You're bleeding too much.
14:45I thought you were gone.
14:47Sira?
14:49You idiot.
14:50I'm still here, aren't I?
14:53Stop crying, Kale.
14:57You hit the rocks.
14:58For me.
14:59You're back.
15:00It must be agonizing.
15:01It's fine as long as you're alive.
15:30It's fine as long as you're alive.
15:31You're a real searing.
15:32You're a real searing doesn't.
15:39You're a real searing doesn't.
15:39The water is warmer than your heart.
15:41Come in.
15:45With a huntress this beautiful, I might never want to find the way out.
15:48You can't stay here, commander.
15:49I promise I won't let you starve.
15:59I can't stay here, commander.
16:00Never thought I'd see you like this.
16:08Tired?
16:09Let's rest for a moment.
16:10This passage seems endless.
16:16Malachar did this.
16:18Ciri, calm down.
16:19The king protects us.
16:21Protects?
16:22He's hoarding the water and draining my people's blood to stay young!
16:25No, no, no, no, no!
16:26One more word and we're done.
16:28Your guardian is just thrown and calling it duty.
16:31I said stop!
16:35Now I see.
16:36You're just like them, commander.
16:41Don't.
16:42We are done.
16:43I didn't mean to.
16:55ACHYOUP!
16:56GIVEnic!
16:59Watch out!
17:08Go!
17:09I'll hold it off!
17:14Kiel!
17:16No!
17:23Sarah, run! This way!
17:31End this!
17:38Sarah! Sarah! Answer me!
17:40I'm here.
17:49I'm sorry, Sarah. I hurt you, and now, I'm making you save me again.
17:54Don't think too much of it. I'm just paying you back for taking that hit for me.
17:58I owe you my life.
18:00Sarah, I'll go back. I will investigate Malak's secrets.
18:03If the king is the monster you save, I will end him myself.
18:06You'd better do that, because if you choose him over me again, I will kill you both with my own
18:11hands.
18:12I promise.
18:18Run! The bedrock is collapsing!
18:23Hold your breath! Don't let go!
18:40Trust me. I will save you.
18:48Stop acting, Kale! You jumped into that collapsing abyss! For her!
18:53Jumped for her?
18:54No, Zahra. I jumped for the water map she has in her head.
18:59But we already have the water, Kale.
19:03Then she is useless.
19:05Let me end this here, your majesty.
19:08Wait, Kale. Don't be so hasty.
19:12Killing her now would be a waste.
19:15This siren is still a useful water-seeking tool.
19:18Take her to the dungeon.
19:23Consider yourself lucky, monster.
19:26We'll see about that.
19:28Take her.
19:37Kale.
19:38Now let me consider, how shall I reward...
19:41Your majesty, the greatest reward you could throw upon me is to bring the water into the city without delay,
19:45and distribute it to every district and soul.
19:48Kale is right, your majesty.
19:49Sharing this new source will make the people more devoted to your throne.
19:53I wish I could, Kale.
19:54But the ground is fragile.
19:56A sudden surge would collapse the city.
19:58We must wait.
19:59But the people...
20:01Kale.
20:01You know I care for the people most.
20:03I would not make a mistake.
20:05But you, it seems, the siren has clouded your mind.
20:08You shouldn't see her for a while.
20:13It's mine!
20:14My daughter hasn't had a drop in three days!
20:17Die!
20:18We're all dying!
20:21I must find the truth.
20:23I cannot let them die like this.
20:30Finally, the vein.
20:33The canal is already flowing.
20:35Then why did his majesty say it was impossible?
20:37Where is all this water going?
20:39Where is all this water going?
20:54Your majesty, are you truly deceiving us all?
20:57Is everything Syrah said actually the truth?
21:03Syrah, I saw the canal under the palace.
21:05It's full.
21:06Marak has already redirected the water.
21:08So the blindfold finally falls.
21:10He didn't just cut off the water, Kale.
21:12He weaponized their thirst to control you all.
21:14He watched them die.
21:16Just for his own power.
21:18Hey, the one in the back!
21:19Stop dawdling!
21:20The siren isn't going anywhere!
21:23By my blood, I call the heavens!
21:25Let the parched earth drink!
21:27And my people be redeemed!
21:39You're trembling, Kale.
21:40The drought is over.
21:41Why the distressed face?
21:43I saw the canal, sire.
21:44Under the palace, it's full.
21:46Why let them die outside when there's a river beneath your feet?
21:50I just gave my blood to the sky.
21:52Is that not enough?
21:53The rain is a moment, but that canal has been flowing for years!
21:57You lied to us!
21:58Has she clouded your mind so deeply that you would come here to question me?
22:01I haven't...
22:02Kale, the siren squandered the water.
22:05The ground is paper thin.
22:08If I speak, tens of thousands will riot for it, and this entire city will collapse into the void.
22:15I raised you, Kale.
22:17You, above all others, know my heart.
22:21Would you truly doubt the man who called you son?
22:25My good boy.
22:36I went to confront him.
22:37He said that the siren ancestors wasted the water.
22:40That if the citizens riot for the canal, the whole city will collapse.
22:42Sire, is it possible he's just protecting them?
22:45Protecting them?
22:46That is the ultimate lie.
22:47He's not protecting the city.
22:48He's afraid he can't control you without the water source.
22:50Kale, my parents were slaughtered by Marak to refine our blood for immortality.
22:54The water he granted your people was a curse.
22:57He murdered the sirens.
22:59No, he said...
23:00It was the death of the siren king that withered the veins.
23:03Free me, Kale.
23:04If you have a shred of conscience left, help me end this cycle of sin.
23:08Sire, believe me.
23:11I will find the truth.
23:13I will see it with my own eyes.
23:17General!
23:18Thank gods I found you.
23:20A sudden outbreak in the lower districts.
23:22People are dropping dead in the streets.
23:23And their bodies...
23:24Sir, you need to see this for yourself.
23:26Prepare the horses.
23:27Lead the way.
23:28Now!
23:39It was never salvation.
23:42It was a slaughter.
23:44Marak, you will answer.
23:47By the king's command, I am here to audit the migrant records and siren negotiation logs.
23:53Every entry must be verified.
23:55Of course, General.
23:56Right this way.
23:59Let me see what's really going on here.
24:05All corpses.
24:06All of them were the lucky ones who drank the holy water.
24:18Sire, you were right about everything.
24:25They all turned to sand because of that holy water.
24:29Marak, you even treat the Sirens with such barbaric cruelty.
24:32Just for power, your so-called greatness?
24:35General Kale, His Majesty summons you to the High Hall.
24:38Immediately.
24:39Why now?
24:40Is it possible?
24:41He found out about my investigation.
24:43Lead the way.
24:46Kale, you've been rather distracted lately.
24:50Tell me, what is it that occupies my best general's mind?
24:55Is it that Sirens?
24:58The Sirens are enemies of this kingdom.
25:00My only thoughts concerning them are how to efficiently extract what we need and dispose of the rest.
25:06They are merely tactical resources.
25:10Excellent.
25:11A flawless tactical mindset.
25:14Then prove this efficiency to me.
25:22The Sirens is stubborn.
25:25Since you despise her so much, break her.
25:28Do it.
25:35Is that it?
25:36Your swing is as weak as your loyalty.
25:41Shut your mouth, monster.
25:42Good Kale.
25:45Break her mind before you break her body.
25:53Just kill me, coward.
25:56She's right, my boy.
25:57Finish it.
25:59What are you waiting for?
26:01Loser!
26:04Loser!
26:14Forgive me, general.
26:16I had to be sure the Sirens' filth hadn't poisoned your mind.
26:20You've passed.
26:21King's orders.
26:22Hand over the keys and clear the block.
26:24I'll deal with the Sirens myself.
26:34It's over now, I'm fine.
26:35Look what he did to you.
26:37The blood on his hands.
26:39Ciri, I can't take this any longer.
26:41I'll rally my men at once.
26:43Rise up in rebellion.
26:44And make Malazan pay for every crime he's committed.
26:47I'm with you, Kale.
26:48For my family.
26:50For the Sirens.
26:51And for everyone.
26:57Malachar is a butcher.
26:59He drinks our blood to live forever.
27:01And rots this land to the core.
27:04Stand with me.
27:05And we take back our water.
27:08We take back our freedom.
27:11We take back our lives.
27:14We take back our lives.
27:36We're done thirsting.
27:38Today, we'll take back our water.
27:45Bring him down.
27:54Open the gates.
27:55Stand down and you live.
28:03This is too easy.
28:05You think he just gave up?
28:08He knows he's a dead man.
28:11Keep moving.
28:16Get to Malachar!
28:18Get to Malachar!
28:22Malachar, your time is up.
28:24Don't go!
28:24I don't know.
28:57I don't know.
29:24I'm a bastard.
29:26Did you really think I was blind, Kale?
29:29Stand down.
29:31Give me the siren, and you might walk out of here alive.
29:38Screw you, Moloch.
29:54Look at this. He's got nothing left.
29:59Let's finish it.
30:03Blow the gate! I want him on his knees!
30:18Why the hurry? The feast has just begun.
30:22It ends right now, Malachar.
30:25I gave you everything. Raised you as my own, and you throw it all away for some siren you barely
30:30know?
30:30Better than serving a butcher.
30:32I'm speaking to my son. Keep your mouth shut, Bottom Feeder.
30:38She speaks for me! We're done talking!
30:59It's a trap! Fall back! Get down!
31:03Kill Malachar! And the curse dies with him! Everything ends today!
31:12For the water! Charge!
31:20Keep pushing! Move! Move! Move!
31:26Go! Go! Charge!
31:33Murderer! Give us our water! Give us our water!
31:44What the hell was that? What did you do to them?
31:47Isn't this what you came for, Kale?
31:51Water.
31:54That's not water. It's poison!
31:56Poison? It's more than enough to wash away rats like you.
32:01So...
32:03Still eager to die, Kale?
32:10He's a monster! He's a freaking god!
32:16You're a siren! You slaughtered my parents!
32:20You took our gift and turned it into this sickness!
32:23I am their god now.
32:26Who are they going to believe?
32:29Princess Syrah?
32:33Let me go!
32:34I'll kill him!
32:37Syrah! If you die here, it's all over! We have to go!
32:43Kale!
32:43Everyone, fall back!
32:46Get her out of here!
32:47Strap her in! I'll clear a path!
32:53Kale! Don't do this! Come with us!
32:56You do this!
33:01Shrek!
33:02You do it!
33:07Live!
33:13Kale!
33:15No!
33:32The engine's dead. I'll go check the perimeter.
33:41Kayla's still in there.
33:45Syrah, don't look back. We have to survive. For him.
33:55Look at the ground. The desert is moving.
34:07Bullets aren't working. Draw your blades.
34:13The Djinn elite?
34:16The king abandoned them in the storm a century ago. Left them to dry out and die.
34:21Syrah! There's too many of them!
34:25We'll die here. Exhausted. Unless...
34:30Eternal Water.
34:32I am Syrah. Princess of the Sirens. Only I can lead you to the water.
34:42Smell it. Pure water. Siren blood. Then you know. Thirsty dead men don't trust crowns.
34:50Fight for me and you'll never thirst again. I swear it. If I betray you, may I turn to salt
34:58and dust beside you.
35:03A century of thirst ended by your blood.
35:07Syri, the engine's back on line. We can move.
35:14You carry the weight of a war on you. A brutal one, I take it.
35:18Malasar controls the water. We tried to stop him. And we failed. And the man I love, he didn't make
35:25it out.
35:26I have drifted through these wastes for a hundred years. But today, I walk with you. If a ghost can
35:31find his path, so can you.
35:34Perhaps.
35:34When danger finds you, let your blood call my name. We'll be there before your next breath.
35:42Something's in the road!
35:48It's gonna blow! Fail!
36:20Damn. That stings. You really don't hold back, do you, sweetheart?
36:24Are you...human? Why are you here?
36:27Warhorse. Left here to rot. Bad attitude turned me into that hump of junk.
36:31Relax, she's just got a few cracked ribs. But your leg? That burn fixed my neck. I'll fix heel on
36:36its own. Deal?
36:38Tell you what. You fixed my neck. Fix your leg.
36:45Told you. Now it's my turn, gorgeous.
36:52Still crying over a dead man? Why not focus on the living?
36:57Keep talking, and I'll unstitch it.
37:06Malachar's hounds. They found us.
37:14Capture the Siren Princess alive! Kill everyone else on sight!
37:18No!
37:29Cannons! Fire! I'm on drive! Move the vehicle now!
37:40No!
37:43No!
37:51Yeah!
38:05What the hell is that?
38:06Fire everything, fire!
38:23Monsters, you monsters, Syrah, where did you find these disgusting things?
38:28You're a freak!
38:32Get off me! Get off me, disgusting freaks!
38:37Disgusting? Let me show you disgusting.
38:41Enough, she's Syrah's.
38:46Any last word?
38:48Kill me and Malachar will burn you to ash!
38:50Kael and I grew up together!
38:53He'll hunt you down!
38:57Time's up.
39:12I will run no more.
39:14Malachar will pay in blood.
39:16I will find my people and rebuild the Siren Kingdom.
39:20When it's done, you will have your vengeance!
39:33Hey, your salt dust is clogging my lungs!
39:38A century in the sand, the salt was fused with my bones.
39:42If this makes you uncomfortable, I am truly sorry.
39:47Enough, Jacob. If you don't like it, ride in the back.
39:52You're doing this on purpose!
39:54Don't play the victim with me, Hugh!
40:11Above us!
40:12Take cover!
40:13Get down!
40:14Now!
40:17Rust bone dragon.
40:18A desert mutation.
40:20It spits molten sand, and those wings will tear the rovers apart!
40:24Amateur.
40:25Bite me, dustbag!
40:26Shut up, both of you!
40:27Save the pissing battle for when we're not being hunted.
40:32What is that blue light?
40:33It's core.
40:34Cut the power and it's nothing but scrap metal.
40:36And how do we get up there?
40:40I know how.
40:42Jacob!
40:43To me!
40:46Jacob!
40:47Put me right under his belly!
40:49Now!
40:56Gotcha!
41:08Light's out.
41:27Yeah.
41:29Malachor is a dead man.
41:31Always has been.
41:36Damn.
41:38I love it when you talk like that.
41:42Human warrior, help me reconnect the cables, and I will be at your command.
41:49We need the lift.
41:53I'll fix you.
41:54But it demands a blood oath.
41:57As you wish, master.
42:01I swear it.
42:03If I betray you, let my iron shatter and my core turn to dust.
42:08Ivan.
42:09Take a look and see how we can fix this thing.
42:12All patched up.
42:14Fire up!
42:16My core burns again.
42:20The sky is yours, master.
42:23Climb on.
42:23Climb on.
42:25Let's go.
42:30Glad the big guy can't shapeshift into a man.
42:33What are you babbling about now?
42:35I want our queen.
42:36I want our queen.
42:38And don't play dumb, fossil.
42:40I know you do too.
42:44Fair warning, dead man.
42:46I don't share.
42:49Father.
42:50Kyle.
42:52Hold on.
42:53When I come back, Malachron dies.
42:56Look!
42:57Down there! Trees!
43:06Bring us down! Now!
43:08No!
43:16Water.
43:17Almost there.
43:22Syrah!
43:23Syrah!
43:31It's okay, Syrah.
43:32You're safe.
43:34Gwen.
43:35Commander Gwen.
43:37Gwen.
43:38The others.
43:40Did they make it?
43:41Not many.
43:43After the capital fell,
43:45we became ghosts.
43:57We had to run.
43:59Kept moving.
44:00Kept dying.
44:01Then we found this place.
44:03I kept who I could alive.
44:04Our best fighters.
44:08I've been through hell, Gwen.
44:10I swear on the fallen.
44:13Malachar will pay in blood for every drop he stole.
44:16No mercy.
44:17Just the debt.
44:19We take back our home.
44:21And the sirens will rule the water once again.
44:23You are the last of the Holy Blood.
44:25You are our queen now.
44:27We follow you to the end.
44:32Look.
44:33It's our princess.
44:35Cera has returned.
44:36Stand with me.
44:38We end this today.
44:40For our home.
44:42And for Malachar's head.
44:47Attack the kingdom of sand.
44:51Kill Malachar.
44:53Kill Malachar.
44:53Kill Malachar.
44:53Rebuild our home.
44:57Eyes on the sand kingdom.
44:59Full speed.
45:11It's over Malachar.
45:13It's over Malachar.
45:15Cera.
45:16I die, he dies with me.
45:20Get him out.
45:22Now.
45:22Now!
45:30Kale?
45:32Surprised, Princess? I kept him breathing just for this.
45:38Drop your weapons, or I cut his throat right now!
45:45Look at you. So weak.
45:49Can't even pull the trigger!
45:53You're one of us! How could you slaughter your own kind?
45:58I am the Sand King! I am no freak like you!
46:12Malachar, open your gates.
46:21Syrah.
46:22No.
46:24How the hell?
46:25Burn it to the ground!
46:30Close the gates! Bring that beam down!
46:42Hey Malachar, come out and play!
46:47What are these things?
46:48Syrah, you killed for dinner.
46:51Damn right. And now, I'm taking your head.
46:57Salt and bone, arise.
47:03What the hell is this?!
47:07Fire!
47:08Don't let them get close!
47:12No!
47:14Let them go!
47:20No!
47:22No!
47:23No!
47:28No!
47:30No!
47:30No!
47:31No!
47:32No!
47:35What are you waiting for? Do it!
47:37What are you whirling Eve for?
47:43Drawings rather in me, rather than authority of-
47:57Kyle!
48:05You! Keep him down!
48:20Wait! We're the same! Your own kind!
48:25Funny. I thought you said you weren't one of us.
48:30Dying is the easy part, and you don't get off easy.
48:34This is for my parents, the king and queen you butchered.
48:39This is for our people, for every drop of blood you stole.
48:43And this is for Kale.
48:55The Fire is in a crazy one.
48:58This is for your children.
49:03The Briane.
49:04This is for you.
49:05Today, we have a dream of a new nation.
49:21Your majesty, your blood can't heal this land overnight.
49:25I'll find water.
49:28No one will ever die of thirst again.
49:31Until the holy spring awakes.
49:47No one will ever die of thirst again.
49:50No one will ever die of thirst again.
49:50No one will ever die of thirst again.
49:51The desert is alive.
49:56My love will come back.
49:59I am at a cost.
50:01I am at a cost.
50:02I am at a cost.
50:08I am at a cost.
50:10Let's go.
50:26Flush her out!
50:28Must keep her alive!
50:30So we'll have endless water!
50:32Water! Water!
50:44They know we are sirens.
50:46We will hold them off.
50:47You must survive, princess.
50:52Syrah!
50:53Surrender now!
50:54And I will make this less painful.
50:57Don't be reckless!
50:58You are the last heir of the Ark Kingdom!
51:00Revenge and our great plan depend on you!
51:06Do it!
51:07Don't look back!
51:11Survive!
51:19Their sacrifice cannot be in vain.
51:22I must survive.
51:24Must.
51:26End of the line, princess
51:36Bastard
