00:00:15I
00:00:15Must be crazy, but I have to know the truth
00:00:26Sharks
00:00:34I can't swim am I going to die here?
00:00:39Don't be afraid noah daddy will catch you dad
00:00:52Dad was right mermaids are real
00:01:14Mom? What's wrong?
00:01:16Noah, your father is dead
00:01:21Otherwise, you are mine
00:01:30Mom? What's wrong?
00:01:33Noah, your father is dead
00:01:35What? No, this isn't true is it?
00:01:38Heart attack
00:01:38The police said he had a heart attack on that godforsaken island
00:01:41He was a complete lunaturk. He brought this on himself
00:01:43He wasn't crazy. He was a top marine biologist
00:01:46He must have been murdered
00:01:47Enough stop with your conspiracy theories
00:01:49Come back immediately and prepare for graduate school
00:01:51I won't allow you to touch his disgusting research
00:01:53No, I have to investigate dad's death
00:01:55Dad was called a madman his whole life because he said there were mermaids in the sea
00:01:59I have to go to that island
00:02:02Dad lived alone on this island for 10 years
00:02:05No neighbors, no signal
00:02:07Just him and his research
00:02:08His death must be related with the research
00:02:13Someone's been here
00:02:15What are they looking for?
00:02:23My god
00:02:26Dad, what did you hide here?
00:02:32They are real
00:02:37Mermaids really exist
00:02:44Mermaids legs are connected by membranes
00:02:46Once in water, they fuse into a powerful tail fin
00:02:50They are extremely sensitive to music and firelight
00:02:53On 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
00:03:00My father never mentioned having an assistant
00:03:02Your father was a genius
00:03:03We once captured a female mermaid together
00:03:05She was beautiful but ferocious
00:03:06After we put her in the basement tank
00:03:08Her legs instantly fused into a fin
00:03:10What happened then?
00:03:10She bit through the chain and escaped back to the sea
00:03:12After your father went into town for supplies
00:03:14I got word that he had passed away
00:03:15I'm sorry kid, he was a good man
00:03:16Why are you coming back now?
00:03:17I'm a PhD student researching genetically modified species
00:03:19Your father's research notes are very important for my thesis
00:03:21Also, I brought supplies
00:03:22Canned food, batteries, power banks
00:03:24There's no delivery on this island
00:03:25I don't trust him
00:03:26But he knows things about dad
00:03:29And I really do need supplies
00:03:31I'll keep him around for now
00:03:33Dad's note said
00:03:34Full moon night, firelight, will they come?
00:03:38Shit, it's not a mermaid, it's a shark
00:03:43Am I going to die?
00:04:07Oh god, this is real
00:04:16Dad wasn't crazy
00:04:18He never was
00:04:21I'm alive
00:04:25Blood?
00:04:26What happened?
00:04:28We're rich
00:04:29This thing is definitely worth a fortune
00:04:33It's the one who saved me last night
00:04:34Stop!
00:04:36Are you crazy?
00:04:37He's not human
00:04:38It took everything I had to knock him out from behind
00:04:41This monster is incredibly strong
00:04:42He saved my life
00:04:43When I fell into the sea, he pulled me up from underwater
00:04:46What?
00:04:47If it weren't for him, I'd have been eaten by sharks
00:04:49Wait, a male mermaid actively saved you?
00:04:52That shows he has social skills, emotional awareness
00:04:55This is even more valuable than I imagined
00:04:57He is not your cash cow
00:04:59Fine, fine, fine, don't kill him
00:05:02But we have to deal with him, don't we?
00:05:04He's bleeding on the living room floor
00:05:05At this rate, either he dies or when he wakes up, we both die
00:05:19Well, it might better see you than we're draining the both crew over there
00:05:24We'll put him in the tank
00:05:25Water might help him recover faster
00:05:26Dad's notes mention that
00:05:27Recover faster?
00:05:29Then he'll tear us apart faster when he wakes up
00:05:31Do you have a better idea?
00:05:39Three
00:05:40Two
00:05:40One
00:05:46Two
00:05:46Two
00:05:46Two
00:05:52Three
00:05:53Three
00:05:53Everything in dad's notes is real
00:05:56If he wakes up, pray he just dies
00:05:58Dead, we can still make a fortune
00:06:01I'll give you a name
00:06:03I'll call you Kai
00:06:05It means ocean
00:06:14Damn
00:06:15He'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
00:06:51You can see it in his eyes
00:06:53I just see a big fish worth five million
00:06:56All right, I'm heading up
00:06:57We'll take turns watching
00:06:59Monster, eat
00:07:00Monster, eat
00:07:09You, are you teasing me on purpose?
00:07:14Shit
00:07:15Why are you taking so many photos?
00:07:17Who are you sending these photos to?
00:07:18For evidence
00:07:18Of your business
00:07:19It's called being prepared
00:07:23When it's just the two of us
00:07:24You're different
00:07:26You hate him, don't you?
00:07:31Kai?
00:07:42Kai?
00:07:43What are you?
00:07:44Noah, mine
00:07:46He kissed me and said mine
00:07:48Does he know what that word means?
00:07:50No matter what, he can't be locked in that tank forever
00:07:53He has intelligence, he has emotions
00:07:55He's not an experiment
00:07:56Jack, we should let him go
00:07:59What did you say?
00:08:00We have photos, we have dad's journals
00:08:01We already have enough evidence
00:08:02Let 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
00:08:07He's not business
00:08:08He's an intelligent being
00:08:09He saved my life
00:08:10Photos can be called fakes
00:08:11Your dad's journals are worthless in academia
00:08:13A living specimen is the only proof
00:08:17You hear that?
00:08:18He senses something?
00:08:20What he senses is your stupidity
00:08:24I said, let him go
00:08:26This is my father's house
00:08:27I'm in charge here
00:08:31Don't do anything crazy
00:08:32You're exactly like your idiot father
00:08:34Stubborn fools
00:08:35He died because of his soft heart
00:08:37Today, you'll meet the same fate
00:08:39You know how my father died?
00:08:40Enough talk
00:08:41Move aside or I'll kill you
00:08:47I'll count to three
00:08:49Three?
00:08:50Even if you kill me, I won't move
00:08:54Two?
00:09:00One?
00:09:10Monster!
00:09:18Monster!
00:09:27If you fear me, kill me.
00:09:34I won't kill you.
00:09:35Otherwise, you are mine.
00:09:47No, no, no.
00:09:54Come with me.
00:09:55Where?
00:09:56You're hurt.
00:09:58We should treat that first.
00:10:10This is Dad's old phone?
00:10:20Sent to Mom, I might be in danger.
00:10:24Protect 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.
00:10:45He's curious about everything.
00:10:47I tried to teach him to wave hello.
00:10:49His learning speed far exceeds that of a human toddler.
00:10:54A genius.
00:10:56Less than 20 seconds.
00:10:58His spatial reasoning is astonishing.
00:11:06No.
00:11:08No.
00:11:09No.
00:11:09No.
00:11:09No.
00:11:09Yes!
00:11:10That's my son!
00:11:11Noah!
00:11:12Noah!
00:11:13Noah!
00:11:16Noah!
00:11:17If you're watching this, you need to prepare yourself.
00:11:22Noah!
00:11:23This is biologically impossible.
00:11:25He only started changing dramatically after seeing your photo.
00:11:29You triggered his maturation.
00:11:31He has chosen you!
00:11:33He evolved into his complete form for me?
00:11:36Take care of yourself, Noah.
00:11:39And take care of him.
00:11:45I won't let anyone hurt you again.
00:11:48A group came today.
00:11:50They captured another mermaid.
00:11:52A female.
00:11:54She's badly injured.
00:11:56Tortured.
00:11:57They 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.
00:12:06For 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.
00:12:13Jack couldn't have been Dad's assistant.
00:12:15He was one of them.
00:12:15One of the ones who brought that female mermaid.
00:12:17The ones who needed someone to fix her.
00:12:19The basement tank wasn't for observation.
00:12:21It was for imprisonment.
00:12:23Dad didn't die of a heart attack.
00:12:24That was just a lie they made up.
00:12:26And Kai killed Jack.
00:12:29For the first time.
00:12:31I 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.
00:12:58Those people will come sooner or later.
00:13:00I've already sent a distress signal.
00:13:02A boat will come for me.
00:13:04But you can't be here.
00:13:06If they see you.
00:13:08Noah.
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.
00:13:37Where is Jack?
00:13:38I 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.
00:13:43And then he disappeared.
00:13:44You're the last person who saw him.
00:13:47One more time.
00:13:49Where's Jack?
00:13:51He's dead.
00:13:55Who killed him?
00:13:56You?
00:14:00I'll count to three.
00:14:02One.
00:14:03Two.
00:14:04Two.
00:14:13Get in!
00:14:18Don't move.
00:14:31Kai.
00:14:31Kai, look at me.
00:14:33Noah.
00:14:34Hey.
00:14:35Okay.
00:14:36Okay.
00:14:38Why did you come back?
00:14:39I told you to go.
00:14:40You could've-
00:14:41Won't.
00:14:42Leave.
00:14:59No!
00:15:00No!
00:15:01Mr. Reid.
00:15:03There's a man outside.
00:15:04There's a man outside.
00:15:05He's been sitting on the steps outside.
00:15:07He only says one word.
00:15:08Your name.
00:15:10Noah.
00:15:12Noah.
00:15:19Why are you still here?
00:15:21Why are you still here?
00:15:21Your skin is sunburned.
00:15:22You're going to die.
00:15:24Not leave.
00:15:25Let him go.
00:15:26Mom!
00:15:27What are you doing?
00:15:28What are you doing?
00:15:28I'm saving you.
00:15:30Look at yourself.
00:15:31With 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?
00:15:43Move.
00:15:45No!
00:15:49Come find me.

00:18:22truth and wanted to expose it then they killed him do you know why i went for a phd i
00:18:27needed an
00:18:27identity to infiltrate it i needed to find evidence proof that my father was murdered

00:18:48you don't have to carry this alone
00:18:57kai there's one more thing inside oride there might be other mermaids imprisoned
00:19:03how many i'm not sure but i heard sounds in the b-level basement clicking sounds not machines it's
00:19:10language
00:19:13serena
00:19:16i secretly recorded this in oride's b section human ears can't hear it but you should be able to
00:19:33what did you hear three voices two females one child they're screaming calling for help
00:19:42the voices are very weak they're about to give up serena she went through that too i know dad
00:19:47mentioned it in the video you don't know the whole story she was captured as a child
00:19:51locked in an iron cage for an entire year your father contacted she's a queen the highest ranking
00:19:57being in our kind but she was tortured so badly she forgot who she was take me there
00:20:04i want to save them
00:20:07no that's a military-grade security facility rushing in is suicide so let them continue rotting inside
00:20:12not giving up the timing isn't right i need more intel if we mess it up the ones inside are
00:20:17finished too
00:20:18give me a deadline let me first figure out which floor they're on how many there are how the
00:20:21security rotates then we act
00:20:24because of me
00:20:26because you're my mate
00:20:27you made breakfast i lived in the human world for three years learned quite a bit
00:20:35better than what i make
00:20:39what exactly is her status you said she's a queen
00:20:41in our society the queen is the highest ranking existence she has four or five betas around her
00:20:46nest
00:20:46when a queen matures she enters a nesting period she chooses her mate forms a harem
00:20:51hara multiple males
00:20:52four or five is normal an older queen can have 20
00:20:54not all are used for mating most are guardians
00:20:57so right now
00:20:58she's about to enter her first nesting period
00:21:00she'll become unstable instinct will drive her to seduce any suitable male
00:21:04including humans humans have no resistance to a queen's allure that's also why i can't leave her
00:21:08alone in the sea what about you before were you also a queen's beta a long time ago my queen
00:21:15was
00:21:16killed by humans so were my brothers after that i met your father saw your photo my body changed
00:21:22i evolved from a beta into an alpha because of me because you're my mate
00:21:28my instinct made the choice irreversible
00:21:41kai put on a shirt
00:21:45surprise guess who got promoted senior research angelist i made it

00:24:03your arm
00:24:04your arm
00:24:04it's fine she can't control herself
00:24:10what just happened?
00:24:11was 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 any male who senses it will be drawn to
00:24:19her
00:24:20including you?
00:24:20i'm an alpha
00:24:21alphas have no physical response to a queen
00:24:23we only respond to our own mates
00:24:24but betas are different
00:24:25and humans are different
00:24:26you're saying if a human male gets close to her
00:24:28he'll lose his mind
00:24:28so she can't leave this apartment
00:24:30especially 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
00:24:52when she glows
00:24:53don't go near her
00:24:55don't look into her eyes
00:24:58they're behind this door
00:25:00now that i've been promoted
00:25:01i should show you what our department really does
00:25:11look at this
00:25:15what species is this from?
00:25:17classified
00:25:17you 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
00:25:54reed
00:25:56you are
00:25:58marcus's assistant
00:25:58you don't know me but i know you
00:26:01i also know your father
00:26:03i don't know what you're talking about
00:26:04don't act
00:26:05you were in the b4 corridor at 1147 last night
00:26:07you don't have clearance for that area
00:26:09surveillance has blind spots
00:26:10but 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?
00:26:13why 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 2
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?
00:26:25i'm saying
00:26:27you'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
00:26:39you've been following me for six blocks
00:26:41say what you want to say
00:26:42not here
00:26:43let's go upstairs
00:26:48he smells like my kind
00:26:52alpha
00:26:52you're
00:26:53alpha
00:26:55kai
00:26:56put him down
00:26:57he might be friendly
00:27:01start from the beginning
00:27:02i was originally a veteranian
00:27:03marine mammals
00:27:04five years ago
00:27:05or i'd recruited me
00:27:06set with staining-reed species protection program
00:27:08they call the project leviathan and sperma 2
00:27:09initially
00:27:10the military found a few mermaid corpses
00:27:11then it became live capture
00:27:13then
00:27:13to darren and marslady
00:27:14did my tissue
00:27:14gene extraction
00:27:15hybridizations and didn't want to harm them
00:27:17but after he got access to the core data
00:27:18he wanted to make everything public
00:27:19then they killed him
00:27:20they first smeared him as a mental patient
00:27:22and 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
00:27:27he started secretly contacting the outside world
00:27:29those poachers
00:27:29the ones who brought the injured field capture and transport
00:27:31after your father got in touch with that female
00:27:32or i deemed him uncontrollable
00:27:33how many are still locked inside?
00:27:34twelve
00:27:34five betas
00:27:35sedated long term
00:27:36their minds are already broken
00:27:37three juvenile females
00:27:38one omega
00:27:38two adult alphas and one
00:27:39a young male
00:27:39born in the lab
00:27:40has never seen the sky
00:27:41he's top secret
00:27:42requires level 7 clearance and above to access
00:27:44why is he so special?
00:27:45because now he's a hybrid
00:27:45because the filtration only keeps them barely alive
00:27:47their skin is cracking
00:27:47their immune systems are failing
00:27:48at this rate
00:27:49they have maybe one more year
00:27:50why are you telling me all this?
00:27:51because i watch them die everyday
00:27:52and i can't do anything about it
00:27:53i signed an NDA
00:27:54i can't leave
00:27:54but you?
00:27:55you have the motivation
00:27:56you have the identity
00:27:57and you have him
00:27:58what else should i know?
00:27:59marcus shaw is not some senior research analyst
00:28:01he'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
00:28:31i thought i was using him
00:28:33every disgusting smile
00:28:35every reluctant touch
00:28:36i thought i was the one acting
00:28:39but from start to finish
00:28:41i 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
00:28:51he said they're here
00:28:53he said they're here
00:28:53ethan said he can cooperate from the inside
00:28:54shut down b4 surveillance signal for 15 minutes
00:28:57unlock the emergency passage
00:28:58but we only have that 15 minute window
00:29:02enough
00:29:02not enough
00:29:03there are armed guards
00:29:05biometric locks
00:29:07escape
00:29:07every extra day we wait
00:29:09someone inside dies another day
00:29:15Noah
00:29:17tomorrow at 3am
00:29:18we go in
00:29:28i'm coming too
00:29:37no matter what happens tomorrow
00:29:38you
00:29:40you have to live
00:29:41what about you?
00:29:44Kai
00:29:46what about you?
00:29:47my life has never been mine
00:29:50it belongs to you
00:29:50don't say that
00:29:57we come back alive together
00:29:58that's an order
00:30:01roger that
00:30:06uniforms are real
00:30:06the access cards will get you through the first checkpoints
00:30:08the fourth b4's door i'll open from the inside
00:30:10i'll enter the surveillance room at 255
00:30:12shut down b4's camera fed at 3 club or sharp
00:30:14you'll have 15 minutes
00:30:15evacuation route
00:30:16south side freight passage
00:30:18leads to the underground parking garage
00:30:19i parked a van in spot c7
00:30:22keys are behind the left front fender
00:30:27she's conserving strength
00:30:28she's capable of more than we imagine
00:30:37let's go
00:30:46serena
00:30:46you stay here and wait for our signal
00:30:58stay close to me and try not to talk
00:31:05go ahead
00:31:13Ethan said he'd open the fourth door from the inside we have to wait
00:31:29see water
00:31:30and blood
00:31:32yeah
00:31:41It's okay
00:31:46My goodness, all of them are your people
00:32:01Are you still alive?
00:32:05They can't hear anymore
00:32:08Their minds are completely broken
00:32:16Help
00:32:19Kai
00:32:21We can't make noise
00:32:22We only have seven minutes left
00:32:43Noah
00:32:44He looks like you
00:32:51Someone's coming
00:32:52It's exactly the same
00:33:00Who are you?
00:33:11Welcome to B4, Noah
00:33:12I've been waiting a long time for this day
00:33:16I 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
00:33:27You used me!
00:33:29No, I'm studying you. You're living data, Noah. A pure natural variable
00:33:34What are you talking about?
00:33:37Your 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
00:33:45So we kicked him out
00:33:46There was a mermaid queen who gave birth during an experiment
00:33:49Twins
00:33:49We were told one of them died, but that was a lie
00:33:51He stole one of the babies
00:33:53Disappeared with him
00:33:54Raised him as human
00:33:55Let him think he was normal
00:33:56That baby
00:33:57Was you, Noah
00:34:01And that
00:34:02Is your twin brother
00:34:05The one
00:34:06Who stayed
00:34:08No, this can't be true
00:34:13Put him in
00:34:14You're insane!
00:34:16You have half mermaid genes
00:34:1822 years
00:34:19Never activated
00:34:20Because you've never truly come close to the water of death
00:34:23Your father was too careful
00:34:24Raising you on dry land
00:34:26Away from anything that might trigger the mutation
00:34:28But genes don't disappear
00:34:29They're just waiting for the right stimulus
00:34:32Drowning
00:34:32Is the most effective trigger
00:34:37Let him go!
00:34:40Noah
00:34:41Soon you'll be just like your people
00:34:59Look, a miracle's about to happen
00:35:06See, you just need to drown him
00:35:09Gene activation successful
00:35:10Gil slips complete
00:35:11Skin fluorescent normal
00:35:13The only hybrid to survive to adulthood
00:35:22Soulmate pairing
00:35:22Living specimen A
00:35:23And specimen B
00:35:24Genetic compatibility test results are in
00:35:26Perfect match
00:35:27Dream on
00:35:28Of course, the most valuable data requires your cooperation
00:35:30Infusion response during natural mating
00:35:32This is data we've never obtained
00:35:33We already have data on mermaid reproduction
00:35:35But the union of a hybrid and a blu- alpha
00:35:37This will be the ultimate breakthrough of the Leviathan project
00:35:39Touch a single hair on his head
00:35:40I dare you
00:35:41I was hoping you'd cooperate willingly
00:35:48Your queen friend
00:35:49Ethan brought her into the building
00:35:50Thought I wouldn't know
00:35:51Too bad he underestimated this building's surveillance density
00:35:56So, you cooperate with data collection
00:35:58I promise not to harm her
00:36:00Otherwise
00:36:02Not now
00:36:07Good
00:36:08A wise choice
00:36:09Fine
00:36:33You're 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
00:36:40He didn't need to let
00:36:45Catch her
00:36:52Well done, Serena
00:36:52I'll go rescue them first
00:36:58Can you walk?
00:36:59Yes
00:37:05Kai, they're helping us
00:37:06When the control wears off
00:37:07They'll remember everything
00:37:08They'll become threats
00:37:08Help inflexes
00:37:18She can't last much longer
00:37:19Go
00:37:29Southgate exit
00:37:33Southgate exit
00:37:41They mobilized
00:37:46A serious security incident
00:37:48Occurred tonight
00:37:49A group of criminals
00:37:50Broke into a federal marine research facility
00:37:53And stole highly dangerous experimental materials
00:37:56Authorities warn the public
00:37:57If you encounter suspicious individuals
00:37:59Report immediately
00:38:01And do not occur
00:38:12They've labeled us as criminals
00:38:18Dangerous experimental materials
00:38:19They won't even use the word beings
00:38:37She needs seawater
00:38:38If this continues
00:38:39Her internal organs will start failing
00:38:41Where's the nearest coast?
00:38:42Three hours south by car
00:38:43But every major highway has alerts now
00:38:44We'll have to take back roads
00:38:49This should last you a while
00:38:50I need to go the other way
00:38:51To Mexico
00:38:52Find my contacts
00:38:53Or RD won't let me go
00:38:54Thank you
00:38:55Don't thank me
00:38:55Get the truth out
00:38:56That's why I took this risk
00:38:58Protect him
00:39:20Will you come with me?
00:39:33I'll go with you
00:39:34What do you think?
00:40:03I'll go with you
00:40:05This isn't a primitive cave. This is a civilization.
00:40:13Now Otz is a niter.
00:40:19They're kneeling to you.
00:40:21It's been away too long. I thought I was dead.
00:40:37Hmm. An alpha needs his omega.
00:40:42Tell me.
00:40:43In our civilization, the union of an alpha and an omega is not just mating.
00:40:47It's a soul-level lock, once completed, irreversible.
00:40:50My life will be bound to yours.
00:40:52If you're hurt, I'll feel it. If you die, I can't live either.
00:40:56What if I say I'm willing?
00:41:15My love is a brand. There's no turning back.
00:41:19You are mine. I am yours.
00:41:22I know.
00:41:39What did he say?
00:41:43He says,
00:41:44You must leave. Your 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. You deserve the whole ocean.
00:42:16A brief piece. I should cherish it.
00:42:36There are twelve people still locked in those tanks.
00:42:40One of them is my brother.
00:42:50You just escaped from that place. They almost killed you. They held you underwater to drown you. Do you want
00:42:54to go back?
00:42:55So what? We hide on this island forever?
00:43:03Or ID. I'm gonna get them all out.
00:43:07You're insane. I've never been more clear-headed than now.
00:43:10You just escaped from that place. They almost killed you. They held you underwater to drown you. Do you want
00:43:14to go back?
00:43:14So what? We hide on this island forever? Pretend those twelve people don't exist? Pretend I don't have a brother
00:43:18who's been locked in a tank since birth?
00:43:20I can't lose you!
00:43:23I spent three years finding you. And every ounce of strength not losing you.
00:43:27And now you want me to watch you walk into their trap?
00:43:31We can't be selfish. Your people are being slaughtered.
00:43:35Maybe our mission isn't to have children on a deserted island. It's to save them.
00:43:49You were right. We can't be selfish.
00:43:57You came back.
00:44:00I went to the tribe.
00:44:03I asked them to send warriors. Told them about Ored. Twelve imprisoned tribe members, hybrid experiments, the genetic weapons program.
00:44:09What did they say?
00:44:11The elders need to discuss.
00:44:13But they didn't refuse.
00:44:15You were right. We can't be selfish.
00:44:19I'd rather die fighting than rot in false peace.
00:44:25The elders want us to go to Glandes, the tribe where I was born.
00:44:28It'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.
00:44:37Nonstop swimming.
00:44:40Leave tomorrow?
00:44:41Now.
00:44:46You'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.
00:44:58A hybrid.
00:44:59This is...
00:45:00Where Kai grew up.
00:45:05They're kneeling to you?
00:45:07I've been away too long.
00:45:08They thought I was dead.
00:45:10Kai!
00:45:10You bastard!
00:45:11Five years!
00:45:12No word for five years!
00:45:13Darian, I'm back.
00:45:14Kai...
00:45:14You brought a human to Glandes?
00:45:16He's my mate.
00:45:19Kai!
00:45:20You've brought an outsider into the sacred place.
00:45:23He's not an outsider.
00:45:24He's my Omega.
00:45:26A hybrid.
00:45:27Half human, half mermaid.
00:45:28You've chosen a mate who can never fully belong to our world.
00:45:31He belongs to me.
00:45:33That's enough.
00:45:34The purpose of your visit?
00:45:35Orite is holding twelve of our people captive.
00:45:37I request that Glandes 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.
00:45:47You left for five years.
00:45:49Now you return and demand we die for your impulse?
00:45:51Twelve of our people are locked in an underground human laboratory.
00:45:54Some have already lost their minds from torture.
00:45:56And there's a child among them who has never seen the sea since birth.
00:45:59That is human business.
00:46:00We 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.
00:46:10This isn't survival, it's slow death.
00:46:12You left for five years.
00:46:13Now you return and demand we die for your impulse?
00:46:16And you've chosen a hybrid as your mate.
00:46:17Kai, he's not for your bloodline should continue the purest gene-
00:46:20You want to choose a mate for me?
00:46:22This isn't a personal matter.
00:46:23It concerns the future of our kind.
00:46:25He is my future.
00:46:27Anyone who wants to touch him goes through me first.
00:46:32This contains all the records of what human governments have done to our people.
00:46:36Every experiment.
00:46:37Every name of the dead.
00:46:38If 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.
00:46:42The war has already begun.
00:46:44Whether 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...
00:46:59Your scent has changed.
00:47:01What?
00:47:10Kai...
00:47:11Your scent has changed.
00:47:13What?
00:47:15That scent?
00:47:16Your mate?
00:47:17Yes.
00:47:19He's about to enter heat.
00:47:20Kai, his scent.
00:47:21You have to take him away from the tribe.
00:47:23I know.
00:47:23What's happening?
00:47:24Your body is changing.
00:47:25I need to take you somewhere safe.
00:47:29I can't control it.
00:47:31I can't control it.
00:47:31Don't try to control it.
00:47:32Your omega instincts are awakening.
00:47:34This 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.
00:47:52I will.
00:48:00Wait for me.
00:48:02Glanis can provide 200 warriors.
00:48:04But we alone aren't enough.
00:48:06Orid has military-grade weaponry.
00:48:07I know.
00:48:08That's why I didn't just notify Glanis.
00:48:12The same message traveled across the entire ocean.
00:48:15The message was just one sentence.
00:48:17We stand together.
00:48:18No 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.
00:48:23The first thing I did after leaving Noah...
00:48:28The 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.
00:48:39Your 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.
00:48:58War.
00:49:02Hire everybody for Octodendal!
00:49:04Sir!

00:49:08Hi, Verzimus.

00:49:10Stop all experiments.

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 piece, Amasid.
00:49:24Your guns aren't necessary.
00:49:25What are you doing?
00:49:26I came to negotiate!
00:49:28All righty's orders.

00:49:43War.
00:49:52It's begun.
00:49:56Abandon ship!
00:50:02Seventy-eight vessels. More than expected.
00:50:05Not enough.
00:50:08Sir, all targets have simultaneously disappeared from sonar.
00:50:11Looks like they just vanished into thin water.
00:50:13What?
00:50:16All hands, emergency is set!
00:50:33Abandon ship!
00:50:40Thirdly annihilated. Fifthly, the serpent to retreat.
00:50:43Massive explosion detected in the eastern sea! Not ours! It's human depth charger!
00:50:47The east, that's... Queen Serena's settlement.
00:50:51They control the narrative.
00:51:02Serena...
00:51:02They bombed the entire settlement.
00:51:06117 lives.
00:51:08Just to eliminate potential threats.
00:51:20Massive unidentified sea creature attacks military vessel. Rescue efforts underway.
00:51:26Government spokesman says these entities are highly aggressive and pose a significant threat to human safety.
00:51:32The Department of Defense has authorized the use of deadly force against all non-human aquatic entities.
00:51:38No news story mentions the twelve imprisoned mermaids.
00:51:40No news story mentions Ored or the 117 lives of the eastern settlement.
00:51:44They control the narrative.

00:59:36Let them come
00:59:41I'm late, but I'm here.
00:59:54You need to eat something. He's been locked up since birth.
00:59:57Over 20 years, never seen the sky, never walked on sand, no one has ever called his name.
01:00:02Every 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.
01:00:10I know, but I can make it right.
01:00:23Does he have a name?
01:00:24Not yet. Noah 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.
01:00:37Hush, little baby.
01:00:56Good morning.
01:01:00You 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.
01:01:25Very big.
01:01:27Big.
01:01:29Big.
01:01:36Does he have a name yet?
01:01:37Noah said he'll choose when he's ready.
01:01:39It 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.
01:01:56Second, permanently close or ride and release all imprisoned individuals.
01:02:01Third, designate international marine protected areas.
01:02:04Fourth, 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?
01:02:4110,000 times harder.
01:02:4310,000 times harder getting two worlds to learn to coexist.
01:02:46Why did you have to be free to the safe?
01:02:55My name is Noah Reed.
01:02:57My name is Todd.
01:03:03Mr. Reed, the representatives from the South Pacific Coral Tribe have arrived.
01:03:07Also, your brother's language therapy session is over.
01:03:09Have the representatives wait.
01:03:11I'll go see my brother first.
01:03:12How was today's lesson?
01:03:15Uh, teacher said I improved.
01:03:19Of course.
01:03:20You're improving quickly.
01:03:22Sky, 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.
01:03:35A 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.
01:03:44Still working overtime?
01:03:46The South Pacific tribe has objections?
01:03:49What's wrong?
01:03:50Nothing.
01:03:52Just a little dizzy.
01:03:53Been 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 five.
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. Reed, your egg sag has matured.
01:04:21What do you mean?
01:04:22You're pregnant.
01:04:22About 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?
01:05:05Sure.
01:05:12Stars.
01:05:13And the light in the water.
01:05:16Same.
01:05:17Yes.
01:05:19The sea in the sky.
01:05:20And the sky in the sea.
01:05:22Stop daubling.
01:05:23The moon is waiting.
01:05:24Shut up.
01:05:30Do you regret it?
01:05:32Regret what?
01:05:33Leaving the human world.
01:05:38I'm not leaving any world behind.
01:05:45I just belong to both.
01:05:47Let's go.
01:05:49Let's go.
01:05:50Let's go.
01:05:52Let's go.
01:05:52Let's go.
01:05:54Let's go.
01:05:54Let's go.
