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,
00:12then 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, 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.
01:51Please.
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.
02:05Hold 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.
02:46General.
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.
03:28With a gap.
03:30Passable at low tide.
03:34The tribe numbers approximately 3,000.
03:38No 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.
04:04Just 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.
04:25If your kingdom ever falls.
04:27It 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's ships have been spotted beyond the coastline.
05:19Three of them.
05:21Vesper.
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.
05:38Then pretended to be the only way out.
05:46Come inside.
05:52My God.
06:00My 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.
06:24The general's sorcerers will sense it.
06:27From this moment on,
06:29they 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.
07:08I'll always stay.
07:11Do you swear?
07:14I swear.
07:16Then I have nothing to fear.
07:22Venom from a deep sea jellyfish.
07:25One 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.
08:17princess hunters.
08:19They're coming from the sea.
08:21They've sealed every entrance.
08:36Father!
08:44Caius!
08:44You're still here.
08:47Come.
08:49Help me get farther out.
08:52Vesper.
08:58Vesper!
09:04You...
09:05You 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.
09:35đóng thié niy on the other...
09:54I said that you don't help.
10:17Vesper, don't sing.
10:18They're waiting for you to open your throat.
10:20The moment you do, they'll know you're still alive.
10:22You are the last voice of the Siren people.
10:26Live.
10:28Take your voice away, you.
10:31Someday.
10:52Someday.
10:53Someday.
10:55Someday.
11:08Someday.
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.
11:48Oh, my lord.
14:44I spent three months.
14:45Princess Seraphine, his future queen, she trusts anyone who is kind to her.
14:49Exactly like me, six 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, insists on personally attending the princess.
15:24Caius, you've finally come.
15:33Hello, my name is Lyra.
15:38Hello, my name is Lyra.
15:53My lord, your hand is shaking.
15:56Is the palace too cold?
16:03Lyra is the person I trust most.
16:05I'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 who died.
16:19And I didn't need him to say it out loud.
16:21I only needed him to be afraid.
16:23That woman!
16:25Investigator.
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, it looks borrowed.
16:45I was the one who introduced Lord Caius to this court.
16:48Seraphine is marrying him because of me.
16:50Everyone in this palace owes me something.
16:53Including you.
16:54Remember your place.
16:56Yes, my lady.
17:09I can't really sing.
17:28Only just a little.
17:34I poisoned my husband.
17:38Three years ago.
17:40He wanted to leave me.
17:43I 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, one piece at a time, right before my eyes.
18:11And I can't tell anyone who she is, because that would mean confessing that six years ago, I slaughtered an
18:17entire people.
18:21I don't know.
18:22Just got word.
18:23The 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 even lady lyra i said
18:52no one after those deep sea beasts were wiped out the shipping lanes became ten times safer
18:59all thanks to lord caius i i i hid the siren pearls i looted in the dry well in the
19:07western 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 fun
19:21help me why can't i
19:25what did you do to him my man i only poured a cup of tea
19:31he wanted to confess play this trick once that's enough stop the names on the list aren't all dead
19:38yet my lord what 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 i'm
20:02doing
20:05liar
20:07do 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
20:26but 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
20:36you're saying
20:38among princess seraphina'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

21:04you were with your men
21:06hunting 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

32:59The water is flooding in.

33:07It's useless.
33:10This is her roll call.
33:20Please!
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.
33:45This melody, it's exactly the same as my motherland's morning song.
34:04Whatever it is, we must do.
34:06To be continued on the shore!
34:07I love you!
34:08I don't know.
34:52I don't know.
35:08I don't know.
35:11I don't know.
35:16I don't know.
35:44I don't know.
35:53I don't know.
36:18I don't know.
36:24Run!
36:25I knelt under this throne for six years.
36:28Your so-called hero of the sea name, I built it for you with severed heads.
36:34Now the sea is back.
36:35You can't hold it down and you want us to die with you?
36:39Hand over the royal seal and the treasury order.
36:42You're not the king anymore.
36:43You're a cursed disaster.
36:45This seat belongs to someone who can keep the land alive!
36:49Give it to you, Elias.
36:50Listen 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've 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?
37:46He's a monster!
37:47He slaughtered our whole people!
37:49If today we kill a man kneeling for death,
37:51then this sea will no longer be the singing sea.
37:53It will be another land filled with hate.
37:55Go back.
37:57The sea is waiting for you.
37:58Not your death here.
38:01Why save me? Kill me?
38:04Please.
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,
38:11I 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.
38:23The land won't let me return.
38:34Stop!
38:36Stop!
38:45Live.
38:47Take your voice away, you.
38:59This and the light within the rain we came across.
39:00Don't write me down.
39:03You've bound women about it.
39:10You bought everything.
39:14If you don't understand our sisters,
39:17don't assume that everything isometimes
39:18Don't seem Your body is worth behaving!
39:18How do you hire animals for living?
39:19The Winter from Biיצaby,
39:29Every time I try to move, the sea pushes me back.
39:33This is the rest of my existence.
