00:00Who can buy this mermaid tonight?
00:04Final lot, the last singer of the deep sea, Lyra!
00:08Is that really a mermaid?
00:10No, she's energy.
00:13If she can generate power, she's worth any price.
00:1710 million.
00:2011 million.
00:23Sold.
00:24High you in energy, 3 billion.
00:263 billion.
00:29Welcome to the cage that lights the city, Lyra.
00:32Human, your scheme will be exposed.
00:34Stop staring.
00:36She's worth 3 billion tonight.
00:37Nothing can go wrong before handoff.
00:47Are you here to apprise me too?
00:50I just fix machines.
00:52Then you'd better think this through.
00:56If the machine breaks, I die.
00:59If the machine works, I get sold.
01:05She's worth 3 billion tonight.
01:07Nothing can go wrong on the road.
01:09I handle repairs, not transport security.
01:11We don't need you for security.
01:14Your job is to keep her alive.
01:15She's not a machine.
01:16Of course she isn't.
01:18If a machine breaks, we can replace the parts.
01:21She can't break.
01:23You can.
01:29Eli.
01:33How do you know my name?
01:34Humans are strange.
01:37You wear your names on your chest,
01:39but hide your conscience so deep.
01:50Mechanic, keep her stable.
01:53She'll die.
01:55She won't.
01:56She'll just lose a little bit of her voice.
02:01Eli.
02:02Do you save her?
02:03Or do you save your city?
02:08This isn't a test.
02:11It's extraction.
02:13Her oxygen isn't stable yet.
02:15Forcing a voice extraction will hurt her.
02:18The damage is within acceptable limits.
02:20Acceptable for who?
02:22Eli.
02:23You can always do nothing.
02:25And watch her take full power.
02:35I'm sorry.
02:38They never should have caught you.
02:41You think they caught me?
02:43Didn't they?
02:46I surfaced on my own.
02:48On your own?
02:49Because if I hadn't come,
02:52they would have kept hunting those children.
02:54Lyra, who are those children?
02:56When you service the tank tonight, I'll tell you.
02:59Eli, your transport assignment is over.
03:01The oxygen system must be recalibrated tonight.
03:04So I have to stay?
03:05Night maintenance.
03:06Don't ask questions.
03:13Can you tell me now?
03:15My voice is the most complete
03:17and the most valuable.
03:20I surfaced
03:22and they stopped hunting those children.
03:27You used yourself to make them stop chasing your people?
03:30They wanted the strongest voice.
03:33As long as I appeared,
03:35the young mermaids lost their value.
03:37But you knew they'd put you on an auction stage.
03:41I knew.
03:43Then why come?
03:45If someone had to enter the cage,
03:47it should be me.
03:48I heard those children cry.
03:50Small, broken sounds
03:52like a tide cut off before it could form.
03:54They couldn't fight back.
03:56They couldn't negotiate.
03:57They didn't even understand why it hurt.
04:00Why are you telling me this?
04:02Aren't you afraid I'll tell Marcel?
04:04No.
04:06You're a soft-hearted human.
04:12But back in the tunnel,
04:13you could have done nothing.
04:15You still lowered the pain as much as you could.
04:18That wasn't saving you.
04:19Eli,
04:21I want to ask for your help.
04:32Open the full list.
04:39You're not just a regular repairman?
04:47I used to be an inter-engineer at Haiwen.
04:59You were told me just yet.
05:01I built this plan three years ago.
05:05The city never needed her to survive.
05:08The city doesn't need her to survive.
05:11You just refused to turn off the lights
05:12in the upper district.
05:13You've said something like that before.
05:15How did that work out?
05:16I got demoted.
05:17Then you should have learned.
05:18Cities don't reward what's right.
05:21They reward what makes money.
05:22The citizens knew the truth.
05:24They'd agree to turn off the lights.
05:25People say they care about suffering,
05:26but their hands reach for the switch first.
05:28You repair machines,
05:29not civilization.
05:32You touched files
05:33you were never supposed to touch.
05:35From now on,
05:36stay away from the tank.
05:43No.
05:44Mom's respirator.
05:51The backup battery has 12 minutes left.
05:55We're waiting for Haiwen to restore power.
05:57Don't wait for them.
06:03Eli, are you in trouble again?
06:07Mom,
06:09if the power in this machine
06:11was being pulled out of a living person,
06:12would you still want me to keep fixing it?
06:16Is she in pain?
06:17A lot.
06:19I didn't stay alive this long
06:20so you could learn to watch someone else suffer.
06:23I'm scared saving her will kill you.
06:27Don't let your fear of losing me
06:28become the reason she keeps suffering.
06:31I understand.
06:33We just received a notice from Haiwen.
06:35The hospital's independent backup line
06:37has been removed.
06:38Removed?
06:38Who approved that?
06:39Starting tonight,
06:40all hospital power will be routed
06:41through Haichan's central voice source system.
06:48We just received a notice from Haiwen.
06:50The hospital's independent backup line
06:51has been removed.
06:52Removed?
06:53Who approved that?
06:54Starting tonight,
06:54all hospital power will be routed
06:55through Haichan's central voice source system.
06:57Are they using me to threaten you?
07:01Don't let your fear of losing me
07:02become the reason someone else keeps suffering.
07:06I won't let you die.
07:08And I won't let Haiwen
07:09keep using you to trap me.
07:17You really aren't just a regular repairman.
07:22Relax.
07:23I'm not with Haiyen.
07:25Underground media.
07:26I've been investigating Haiwen for three years.
07:28Every time the city hits peak load,
07:30this chip records an abnormal sound spectrum.
07:33Haiwen calls it clean energy resonance.
07:36I don't believe them.
07:36You can't just release this.
07:37Why not?
07:38The whole city deserves the truth.
07:39If people only hear that hospitals lose power when Laya stops,
07:41Marcel will make her the monster who killed patients.
07:45Then we make them hear her real voice.
07:48No filters.
07:49No lies.
07:51In three days,
07:52Laya will complete her first full song core performance.
07:55They're not just making her sing.
07:56He's preparing to kill her.
07:59They turned a scream into a hymn.
08:01On exhibition day,
08:02we removed the filters.
08:03You know that's going to make Marcel furious, right?
08:06I have to go back and see her first.
08:08Now?
08:08Haiwen froze your access.
08:10The harder they keep me away,
08:11the less time she has.
08:17Lyra.
08:19It's me.
08:21Who is Lyla?
08:24Lyla.
08:25That's you.
08:27For a moment,
08:29I couldn't remember who I was.
08:32What do you mean?
08:34Every time they extract my voice,
08:36they cut away more than sound.
08:38First emotion,
08:40then the memory of currents,
08:42the faces of my people,
08:44and finally...
08:54I'm going to stop the full song core extraction.
08:58If the lights really go out,
09:01will people hate me?
09:03They'll hate me first.
09:06Eli,
09:07humans like you are dangerous.
09:10Why?
09:12Because I could start trusting you.
09:17Go!
09:18I can't leave you behind again.
09:20If they catch you,
09:21there will be no one left to wake me up.
09:23Three, two, one...
09:24Eli, get out alive.
09:27Remember my name for me.
09:31Open the door!
09:32Put the terminal down now!
09:41Forget me.
09:43Go.
09:48Lock down every exit!
10:02They aren't extracting energy.
10:04They're killing her.
10:06We can release this with the audio.
10:08Then we'll make them hear the truth at the exhibition.
10:11Can you still get into the control room?
10:12My official access is gone,
10:14but the exhibition hall's emergency filter system
10:17still runs through the old maintenance port.
10:20What does this name mean?
10:21She's forgetting who she is.
10:23At least in the system,
10:25I won't let her become a number.
10:26The exhibition starts tomorrow at nine.
10:27Every camera will be on her.
10:28And I need the backup filter port before opening.
10:32What does that mean?
10:34Only Laya's live voice can push the real vocal signature out.
10:36But she can barely remember her own name.
10:39I'll figure something out.
10:43Miss, does it hurt?
10:46She is the ocean's gift to Ovaria,
10:49the miracle that keeps the city from ever going dark.
10:54If it hurts, why don't you say so?
11:03Stay calm!
11:04Don't move!
11:05Who authorized her to vocalize on her own?
11:07It wasn't the extraction program.
11:08An emotional speak caused a raw voice leak.
11:10Do that again,
11:11and I'll make sure you can't even make a sound when it hurts.
11:15You never let me use my own voice in the first place.
11:18Increase suppression.
11:20Now.
11:37So the rat finally crawled out on his own.
11:48So the rat finally crawled out on his own.
11:54Take him to the top floor.
11:56Do you know why I hate blackouts?
12:00Twenty years ago,
12:02Haiwan Energy collapsed.
12:03The whole city went dark for seven days.
12:07The hospitals lost oxygen.
12:09My father died outside the ER.
12:11What does that have to do with Laya?
12:13One deep sea alien's pain
12:15in exchange for three million people
12:17never feeling that fear again.
12:19Did you ever calculated her fear?
12:21You hate blackouts.
12:24You're not saving the city.
12:26The citizens will learn the truth.
12:28You might get people to turn off their lights.
12:30You won't get me to give up revenue.
12:31There it is.
12:32Your father was just your excuse.
12:35Maybe at first you were only afraid of blackouts.
12:37Then you discovered fear pays better than electricity.
12:41Eli, she's just a mermaid.
12:45You're gonna package her death as a celebration?
12:48No, Eli.
12:52I'm gonna let the whole city watch her sing for them willingly.
12:57You're gonna package her death as a celebration?
13:00No, Eli.
13:04I'm gonna let the whole city watch her sing for them willingly.
13:07You'll die tomorrow night,
13:08and the whole city will applaud.
13:11So you're finally done pretending?
13:14No, Laya.
13:16They'll watch you sing,
13:17cry for you,
13:18and believe you volunteered.
13:19What if I don't sing?
13:21A full song core performance
13:23doesn't require your consent.
13:25Do you really think your plan is gonna work?
13:29The second the lights go out,
13:30they'll beg me to drain you dry.
13:31If survival was all you wanted,
13:34you could have shut off the wasteful lights long ago.
13:39This isn't about the city.
13:41You need them dependent on Hyrian.
13:45Dependent on you.
13:46After tomorrow night,
13:47everyone will thank Hywen.
13:49I'll be the man who saved this city.
13:51The sea will curse you.
13:53You stole the sea's voice and imprisoned its children.
13:57One day,
13:58the sea will drag you back into the dark.
14:01You're sure about cutting the upper district tomorrow night?
14:03We don't touch hospitals,
14:05water supply,
14:06or lower-income homes.
14:07Only the non-essential loads.
14:10We're not shutting the city down.
14:13We're showing them it's waste.
14:18I'm not your light.
14:24Mom, is she crying?
14:27Who cut into the broadcast?
14:29It's reverse-routed through the hospital power line.
14:32What you're hearing isn't a blessing.
14:35It's a mermaid crying in pain.
14:44Why do they get to turn off our lights?
14:48Look closely.
14:52This isn't basic power for living.
14:55It's waste.
14:56Eli, say one more word,
14:58and I'll cut the power to your pison,
15:01to your mother's hospital.
15:04Lower district hospital backup line connect stored.
15:09You can't threaten me anymore.
15:11He's not saving you.
15:13He's chasing more profit.
15:16Start manual song core extraction!
15:18Sir, she'll collapse right here!
15:20Then let her collapse in front of the whole city.
15:22He's forcing the song core out!
15:28He's forcing the song core out!
15:31Turn her into a battery.
15:35Sir, what did you just say?
15:37Full song core extraction.
15:40I want her voice sealed inside Haiyuan's energy core forever.
15:44But that's not a temporary power program.
15:47Once the song core is stripped out,
15:49her consciousness will be permanently emptied.
16:11Marcel sealed every access point.
16:13There's another way.
16:19If non-essential load drops to zero,
16:22the song core pool will break.
16:23You can't shut all of that down by yourself.
16:26I'm only asking you to turn off what you don't need.
16:28She is not a battery.
16:30She saved those children.
16:31And she saved this city.
16:36He's stealing Lyra into Haiyuan's own energy core.
16:44The whole city already shut down.
16:48The pulse source changed.
16:52It's not the city load anymore.
17:00So from the start, he never meant to save the city.
17:04Sir, continuing the extraction has no public power purpose anymore.
17:08Public power?
17:12You really thought I did all this so they could pay a few cents less for electricity?
17:17Once the full song core is sealed,
17:21we'll own a source of energy that never runs out.
17:30Where are you going?
17:32The sealing program can only be disconnected from the tower's main control.
17:36Remote access is dead.
17:38That place is packed with security.
17:42If you go in, you're walking into your death.
18:01Don't let him touch the main console!
18:13You made it just in time.
18:15Now watch her become part of Haiyuan forever.
18:24Lyra, hold on!
18:25Hold on for your people!
18:27Speed up sealing.
18:29If we speed it up,
18:30her consciousness wave will tear apart.
18:34Then tear it apart.
18:37Hold it down!
18:38Don't let him touch that port!
18:44The whole city already turned off its lights.
18:48You're the only one still holding on to her.
18:50If you cut the pull, she'll die.
18:57Eli, don't leave me in his hands.
19:03Save me.
19:07Eli, don't leave me in his hands.
19:26The pressure system is collapsing.
19:32Stabilize the tank!
19:48Eli, she's out of the life support water.
19:54Lyra, wake up.
19:56Can you hear me?
19:58I cut it off.
19:59Her song core is back, but the sock is still suppressing her breathing.
20:05Where's the unlock authorization?
20:07Want to save her?
20:10Give me the authorization.
20:13If the lock doesn't open, she won't last three minutes.
20:19Give me the authorization.
20:22Mara, for your sense.
20:23Sign.
20:30Eli, don't sign it.
20:32He's making you take the fall for Haiyuan.
20:34She doesn't have three minutes for you to think it over.
20:37If I sign, you'll unlock her?
20:40Of course.
20:42Eli, don't sign.
20:44I'm checking the old lock structure.
20:56Eli, what are you doing?
20:57I'll use the old system to burn the lock call in reverse.
21:01Hold him down!
21:05Give up.
21:08I'm getting you out of here.
21:15Cut off his hand if you have to, but disconnect him from that port.
21:21Eli.
21:23It's working.
21:25Hold on a little longer.
21:28Lyra, look at me.
21:34I won't let you become Haiyuan's battery.
21:37Eli, don't kneel.
21:40Trust me, Lyra.
21:50The lock core burned through.
21:53Eli.
21:54Mara, the underground sample bay is reacting.
22:00I won't let you go.
22:12They're still alive.
22:28The underground sample bay woke up.
22:32Shut off the cameras!
22:42These are the Young Mermaid test subjects Haiyan has been hiding.
22:46Children.
22:48Lyra surfaced on purpose so they would stop hunting these Young Mermaids.
22:51A bunch of failed energy bodies.
22:54Marcel, in the name of the sea, I curse you!
22:57Start the underground sample bay Clenis procedure.
23:02Clean up.
23:03Destroy all the evidence.
23:10They're living beings.
23:12Move.
23:15Let go!
23:16Marcel, you won't get another chance.
23:31You dare betray me?
23:33I just finally don't want to hurt these little lives anymore.
23:36You think pinning me down is enough to save them?
23:39Mara, are the underground sample bay doors still connected to the old maintenance system?
23:46Yes.
23:48But they need a vocal signature trigger.
23:51Mara, remember the voice I played for you?
23:59The system needs her live voice right now.
24:04No.
24:08If I survive, I have to watch them die.
24:12Everything I did by servicing meant nothing.
24:24My queen.
24:30My queen.
24:33The escape waterway is open, but they don't know where to go.
24:36The old waterways are too complicated.
24:38If they take the wrong tunnel, they'll be swept into the turbine well.
24:42No.
24:42You can't use your voice again.
24:44They don't understand maps.
24:47They only understand the sound of hope.
24:52Use the queen's call one more time, and your song core will crack even deeper.
24:56Shut up!
24:57What if I really forget you?
24:59Then I'll tell you again.
25:02If once isn't enough, I'll tell you a thousand times.
25:05Then say it gently.
25:07I like your voice.
25:18Your majesty, the mermaid queen.
25:21I'm gonna make you watch your subjects die at the gate.
25:30He's caught!
25:34Mara, is there another water route?
25:36No!
25:37Once that gate drops, he'll be trapped in the waterway.
25:40Lyra, does it hurt to watch your own family die?
25:48Lyra, don't ram the gate with your voice!
25:59Mara, open pressure valve three.
26:01That will dump water into the energy tower core level.
26:04Open it!
26:13The core level is flooding.
26:15The core level is flooding.
26:19Eli Marcel sealed a fragment of Lyra's song core inside the core.
26:24Now her life is tied to Hymen's core.
26:26Where is the core?
26:27The lowest level of the energy tower.
26:30Hymen's heart sector.
26:32It's flooded, and the voltage is out of control.
26:34A human won't last three minutes.
26:40Wait for me.
26:45Careful.
26:47The water is live.
26:58I see it.
27:01There's a maintenance bridge on the left, but it's broken.
27:04You'll have to take the side pipe.
27:09He won't make it to the core.
27:12What did you say?
27:14What did you say?
27:17You can't open the core shell.
27:21You only figured that out now.
27:27If he forces out the song core fragment, the core will explode.
27:30Ellie!
27:40He's not getting out.
27:47Then I'm going in.
27:52One dying mermaid trying to save one dying human.
27:59You can't go.
28:01The core level is electrified.
28:05I'm going to get him.
28:11This will only hold you for a few minutes.
28:15That's enough.
28:20I can only push you this far.
28:22Any farther in the electricity will kill me.
28:25Let go.
28:33Let go.
28:39What are you doing here?
28:41What are you doing here?
28:52I am not Hai Yuan's battery.
28:55I am Lyra, the mermaid queen.
29:00I am not Hai Yuan's battery.
29:04I am Lyra, the mermaid queen.
29:06You're stronger than you look.
29:09You almost lied to me.
29:11Lied about what?
29:12You said you'd come back.
29:17Then hold on tight.
29:23Impossible.
29:30He's destroying the original evidence chain.
29:36Everything that happened tonight will be nothing but an unviable live stream accident.
29:42I'm backing it up, but he's deleting too fast.
29:47Marcel.
29:50I told you the sea would drag you out of the light and back into the dark.
29:56It's here.
30:00Marcel.
30:02I told you the sea would drag you out of the light and back into the dark.
30:09It's here.
30:11The sea's curse?
30:13You think one sentence can scare me?
30:21Impossible.
30:22We're three miles from the shoreline.
30:25Wait.
30:25This isn't seawater backing up.
30:33The old tidal channels are responding to Lyra's voice.
30:36Weren't those channels already destroyed?
30:40High end sealed the old tidal station to monopolize song core energy.
30:48Close every seawater valve!
30:52It's too late.
30:53Did you do this?
30:56No.
30:59The sea finally hurt.
31:02The sea's curse?
31:03Then the whole city can be buried with you.
31:08Then the whole city can be buried with you.
31:18My mom is still at the hospital.
31:21Let's go save her.
31:22The old tidal sea station is still lit.
31:25If we redirect the water there, the lower district won't flood.
31:28Come with me.
31:30Can your voice hold up?
31:31You didn't exactly hold up earlier either, did you?
31:36But I still came to get you.
31:48It worked.
31:50The water is changing course.
31:52Lyra!
31:54The sea went back.
31:58Impossible.
32:05Marcel, you're the one who ends here.
32:10Lyra.
32:12I can compensate you.
32:14Hai Wan can issue a public apology.
32:16Whatever you want, I can give it to you.
32:18Do you know what I want?
32:21I can give you a lot of money.
32:22I want you to remember.
32:26Reverence for life.
32:28Are you going to let the sea take him?
32:31The sea doesn't judge humans.
32:33The sea only takes back what belongs to it.
32:36You should be judged by the humans you hurt.
32:43Marcel Hale, you are under arrest for endangering public safety and manipulating the energy system.
32:47Put your hands down now.
32:57What are you listening to?
33:00Home is calling me.
33:05Eli, I have to go back.
33:10Eli, I have to go back.
33:13Now?
33:14My queen.
33:17They don't know how to get home on their own yet.
33:19And you?
33:23I have to go home too.
33:31Then go home.
33:39When you hear the sea, remember me.
33:43Not just the sea.
33:47Every time the city gets quiet.
33:50Every time the lights dim.
33:54I'll remember you.
34:06Goodbye, Eli Harper.
34:10Goodbye, Mermaid Queen Lyra.
34:13Goodbye, Mermaid Queen Lyra.
34:14Goodbye, Mermaid Queen Lyra.
34:15Goodbye, Mermaid Queen Lyra.
