Short filmTranscript
00:00I am the last princess of the Siren people.
00:03Six 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,
00:12then led his army to slaughter all 3,000 of my people.
00:15He thought I was dead.
00:17He 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.
00:28That'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?
01:06Kneeling 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.
01:21You 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.
01:51Please.
01:53Hunters are after me.
01:56I'm not one of them.
01:58I'm who they want to kill.
01:59Please.
02:01Hold on.
02:14Hold on.
02:26You're safe here.
02:28My name is Vesper.
02:30Vesper.
02:32You saved my life.
02:36Your injuries were too severe.
02:39Any later and I couldn't have helped.
02:49The intelligence about the Siren Clan is all confirmed.
02:53Her voice can heal fatal wounds.
02:55One song can bring a dying man back to his feet.
02:59If 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.
03:08I 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 numbers approximately 3,000.
03:37No standing army.
03:39Absolute trust in outsiders.
03:42No defenses.
03:43That human.
03:45You trust him too much.
03:47Father.
03:48He's different from the others.
03:51I hope you're right.
04:03Just 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.
04:22I'm afraid.
04:22If hunters ever find this place.
04:25If your kingdom ever falls.
04:27It will only be because I died first.
04:29Vespa.
04:31Vespa.
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's ships have been spotted beyond the coastline.
05:19Three of them.
05:21Vespa.
05:21Listen to me.
05:22If they find your tribe's source of power.
05:24They will destroy it first.
05:27Let me.
05:29See 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.
05:52My God.
06:01My God.
06:02This is the source of our tribe's voice.
06:05As long as it endures, we endure.
06:07General, I found it.
06:09A thousand times larger than I imagined.
06:12This isn't a weapon.
06:13It's an entire sea.
06:15If we control it, no force in the world will stand against us.
06:19Come further.
06:21There's more.
06:22A tracking stone.
06:23The general's sorcerers will sense it.
06:27From this moment on, they know the location.
06:31Caius?
06:32I was looking at the patterns.
06:34They're beautiful.
06:36Show me more.
06:44With you here, I'm not afraid.
06:48That was the last time I felt safe.
06:58Will you stay?
07:02Caius?
07:04Caius?
07:06Yes.
07:07I'll always stay.
07:10Do 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.
07:53Tomorrow.
08:17princess hunters coming from the sea they've sealed every entrance

16:23to be
16:23afraid that woman investigate her now i want everything before tomorrow my lord she's only the princess's

18:00she's doing exactly what i did step by step get close earn their trust and then she didn't come
18:06back to kill me she came to destroy everything i own one piece at a time right before my eyes
18:11and i
18:12can't tell anyone who she is because that would mean confessing that six years ago i slaughtered an
18:17entire people
18:22sir just got word the patrol caught 17 stray syrians near the entrance to the singing sea
18:28who's leading them an old man with a broken tail they seemed to be waiting for someone
18:36we've put them all in the underground sea prison
18:41sealed their mouths lock it down no one in the palace is to know
18:48even lady lyra i said no one after those deep sea beasts were wiped out
18:56the shipping lanes became ten times safer all thanks to lord caius
19:03i i i hid the siren pearls i looted in the dry well in the western suburbs
19:08i tore them off a siren child who wasn't even dead yet
19:14i lied i staged that riot to swiddle more military funds
19:23i died that night six years ago
19:25what did you do to him
19:27my med i only poured a cup of tea
19:31he wanted to confess play this trick once that's enough
19:35stop the names on the list aren't all dead yet my lord
19:40what are you afraid of i'm afraid you'll throw away your own life in the end
19:44my life it died that night six years ago
19:56father and brother wrote again every letter asks when caius will send their funds not a word about how
20:02i'm doing
20:06liar do you think there's anyone left in this world worth trusting
20:11there is as long as that person has never lied to you
20:15what about you have you lied to me
20:19i will never hurt you your highness
20:21my lord the order for elias the court is already pressing for it
20:25keep him but yesterday he admitted in public embezzling military funds staging the riot
20:30he's stolen goods but stolen goods can be more useful than clean men
20:33once this storm at sea passes let him take the form you're saying
20:38among princess seraphina's cousins there's no woman called lyra
20:41yes my lord according to records that distant branch died out in the plague ten years ago
20:45this lyra her identity is a mystery so even her identity is borrowed she's using seraphine
20:54lyra this officer would like to ask you a few questions about your hometown
20:57for instance how did that plague begin the plague i only remember seeing the officer at the coast
21:03three years ago you were with your men hunting down escaped operations so my lord never gave up
21:09hunting the sirens is it because six years ago you didn't kill cleanly enough afraid they'll
21:13come back for your life what nonsense are you spouting people in the palace are talking our hero
21:18since been living in fear all along why else send so many men to guard the postal forbiddens
21:23enough get out
21:33six years ago today we wiped out the threat from the seas three thousand sirens executed and we
21:41secured a century of maritime power for the empire
21:46to the final eration of those three thousand souls drink
21:58my apologies i didn't grip it tight enough

23:08the
23:35Something's wrong.
23:36Something's wrong, the Elder would never miss a meeting.
23:47Mira, where 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.
24:25Said they'd 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, I think I need to leave the palace for a while.
24:39Now?
24:40But we're supposed to go pray at the temple this afternoon.
24:46I lost something very important.
24:49I have to find it.
24:52It's me.
24:53I'm Vesper.
24:54What happened?
24:57Where's Mira?
24:58Did Mira send you to find me?
25:02Seventeen of them.
25:04All captured.
25:05And the Elders.
25:08Understood.
25:10Hide in the woods outside the city.
25:11Wait for me.
25:16Mira.
25:18Mira.
25:18It's Mira.
25:19It's Mira.
25:22Wait for me.
25:28Where did you go?
25:32I went to see an old friend.
25:35It's dangerous out there.
25:38Lyra, do you have a secret?
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.
26:07Mira 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.
26:35Vesper.
26:36Stay.
26:51Princess.
26:54Go to the sea.
27:01Mira!
27:10Go to the sea.
27:11Princess.
27:13Here am I.
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.
27:34Mira'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
27:44still has a voice.
27:51I sent them back to the dungeon.
27:53Come back with me.
27:55I promise they live.
27:57Your promise?
27:58Visit those 3,000 graves from six years ago?
28:00No.
28:03Tell me what you want.
28:05Anything.
28:07What I want,
28:08you can't give.
28:10You already owe.
28:133,000 lives.
28:16How will you pay?
28:34Father!
28:35I'm sorry.
28:36I'm sorry.
28:36I'm sorry.
28:40I can't take these.
28:41Oh my God!
28:53It's the princess.
29:38My lord, the flagship is lost.
29:40No survivors, and the messengers sent to deliver the execution order 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.
29:49Carrier 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.
29:56Now 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.
30:19The underground water pipes are still ours.
30:20Pour it into the upstream source, that's enough.
30:23My lord, that will kill every syrence 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.
30:49The 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, just 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.
32:34The sea!
32:35The sea!
32:36He 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!
33:26Gods.
33:27I was on the shore then.
33:29I thought they were just beasts.
33:31Shhh!
33:33The sound!
33:34It carries across the entire coast!
33:45This melody.
33:47It's exactly the same as my motherland's morning song.
33:51The voice of us that was so !
33:55The sound.
33:56The sound!
34:05The sound.
34:07The sound.
34:09The sound.
34:13They're all really pointing.
34:15The sound.
34:16The sound.
34:17I don't know.
34:48This is the Royal Seal. This is the Military Teller. This is the Imperial Decree Seal.
34:53He used these three things 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,
35:31you also wiped out my motherland's royal family. You used my father's and brother's lives to force me
35:37into being your queen. Every 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
36:32you with severed heads. Now the sea is back. You can't hold it down, and you want us to die
36:38with
36:38you? Hand over the royal seal and the treasury order. You're not the king anymore. You're a cursed
36:45disaster. This 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. Sit 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! 3,000 children you've dumped into the sea trench!
37:36Princess, let me kill him. My son. They were on that beach that night. Let me kill him!
37:42We 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
37:54be another land filled with hate. Go back. The sea is waiting for you. Not your death here.
38:01Why save me? Kill me? Please!
38:04Killing would be too easy. Live. Watch this sea. Remember every life. This is the rest of your
38:09existence. Every time you close your eyes, I want you to dream of those 3,000 voices.
38:15Don't leave me alone! Don't make me carry these memories by myself!
38:21The sea doesn't want me. The land won't let me return.
38:24Burn!
38:34Stop!
38:37STOOOOOOP!
38:45Live. Take your voice away, you.
39:29Every time I try to move, the sea pushes me back.
39:33This is the rest of my existence.
