00:00:00My name is Ariel, a mermaid princess.
00:00:03They say the ocean holds countless secrets.
00:00:07To me, it has always just been home.
00:00:10I thought I would sing freely in the ocean forever.
00:00:12Until that day...
00:00:29Help! Somebody help!
00:00:35A mermaid?
00:00:38Hey, it's okay.
00:00:40I'm going to help you.
00:00:48I'm Lucian Grayson. Nice to meet you.
00:00:53I fell for Lucian at first sight.
00:00:56I wanted to become human, just to walk into his world.
00:01:00Please, I want to be human and stay by his side.
00:01:03If you truly want to be human, you'll trade me your voice for it.
00:01:08I'll give you human legs and strip away your scales.
00:01:12But once you're human, the man you love will no longer recognize you.
00:01:17And you will be cursed.
00:01:19Each time unbearable pain breaks your heart, one pearl on this necklace will shatter.
00:01:25When the last pearl breaks, you will dissolve into sea foam and vanish from this world forever.
00:01:32So tell me, little mermaid, do you still choose this?
00:01:35Yes.
00:01:36I do.
00:01:57I do.
00:01:59I give up my voice to become human.
00:02:00All just to be near him.
00:02:02The late king took me in as a commoner.
00:02:05His ward.
00:02:06And three years ago, he made me Lucian's wife.
00:02:10Today is Lucian's birthday.
00:02:12I had my friends in the sea to find this for him.
00:02:16Will he like it?
00:02:22You're home, Lucian.
00:02:36No one else won't be inłat
00:02:38No one has missed him.
00:02:50Paris
00:02:50But Lucian is no another the boy I first met.
00:02:53These three years of marriage have been a nightmare.
00:02:56He has never treated me as his wife, only as a toy for his pleasure.
00:03:00What? Playing hard to get?
00:03:03My queen, Ariel.
00:03:06And serving you king is your duty.
00:03:25Long live the king!
00:03:29Listen, you're just a commoner my father placed beside me.
00:03:33And I only married you to fulfill his dying wish.
00:03:37You may remain my queen for the rest of your life.
00:03:40But I will never love you.
00:03:49Long live the queen!
00:03:53Know your place, Ariel.
00:03:55Be a good girl and behave.
00:04:17My dearest Lucien, thank you for the most wonderful afternoon.
00:04:21Same time tomorrow?
00:04:30You dropped this.
00:04:34That's it?
00:04:35You found a love note from another woman?
00:04:37And you're not even jealous?
00:04:51You're not even jealous?
00:05:06Happy birthday, your majesty.
00:05:09Happy birthday, your majesty.
00:05:12It's my birthday today.
00:05:15So that's why Ariel prepared all of that for me.
00:05:28You're so clumsy.
00:05:30Just let the servants handle it.
00:05:32Do you really hate me that much, Lucien?
00:05:34Mother is hosting a royal parade today.
00:05:37You'll be attending with me.
00:05:38Dress like a queen for once.
00:05:41Don't embarrass me.
00:05:54Lucien, my dear.
00:05:55There you are.
00:06:03As for you, little mute, there's no place for you here.
00:06:06Take the Father's table.
00:06:08Don't ruin my view.
00:06:18Lucien!
00:06:21Your majesty, forgive me for asking, but it's been three years.
00:06:26When will the crown finally have an heir?
00:06:30We had a child.
00:06:32Once.
00:06:38Please.
00:06:39Let me keep this baby.
00:06:41I'm begging you.
00:06:43A mute breeding another mute.
00:06:46Someone like you has no right to bear a royal ear.
00:06:54She's a siren.
00:06:56No!
00:06:58No!
00:07:26Lucien, you probably never wanted us.
00:07:29Our baby either.
00:07:30Royal blood from the deep sea?
00:07:32What a perfect feast for a siren.
00:07:38Ha, ha, ha.
00:07:52You will forget how you lost your child.
00:07:54All you'll remember is that the useless little thing bleeding out of your womb.
00:08:02That day, two pearls shattered.
00:08:06One for me and one for the child I never got to meet.
00:08:11A useless mute has no right to carry the future heir.
00:08:25Aunt Iris.
00:08:28Aunt Iris.
00:08:32Aunt Iris.
00:08:45Ariel and I have to get ready for the parade if you'll excuse us.
00:08:52That bitch doesn't deserve that crown.
00:08:54Take back what belongs to our siren bloodline.
00:08:57Yes, Aunt Iris.
00:09:03What Duke Williams said about an heir, what do you think?
00:09:08Don't worry.
00:09:09Don't worry.
00:09:09I take the contraceptive toner every time.
00:09:11I won't get pregnant.
00:09:12You really know how to please my mother, don't you?
00:09:15Should I praise you for being such a good queen?
00:09:17You're the one who never wanted our child in the first place, Lucien.
00:09:22Stop!
00:09:29Lucien, how could such an important parade happen without me?
00:09:32I'm riding with you.
00:09:34Get in the back.
00:09:37I'm not one of your attendants, Lucien.
00:09:39I'm the woman you truly care about.
00:09:42I'm sitting beside you.
00:09:45Give Selina your seat.
00:09:47Go back to the palace and stay there.
00:10:12Selina.
00:10:13She always reeks of salt water and fish.
00:10:16It makes me sick.
00:10:19Look, the mute queen just got kicked off the royal carriage by the king's mistress.
00:10:23You're pathetic.
00:10:24The king lets his mistress walk all over the queen.
00:10:26He doesn't care about her at all.
00:10:37Happy now.
00:10:53A filthy mute thinks she belongs beside Prince Lucien?
00:10:56I'll carve up that pretty little face and see how you seduce him then.
00:11:12Touch her again and I'll cut off your hands.
00:11:15Get out!
00:11:19It's okay now.
00:11:20You're Ariel, the girl father adopted, right?
00:11:23Don't worry.
00:11:24I'll protect you.
00:11:26Lucien, you've broken so many promises you've ever made to me.
00:11:35ARIEL!
00:11:36Why are you out here alone?
00:11:37Weren't you supposed to be in the royal parade?
00:11:41Lucien left with Selina.
00:11:43He told me to go back to the palace.
00:11:51Your pearls.
00:11:52There are barely any left.
00:11:54Let me see.

00:18:24Fine. If you don't want my cloak, then freeze.
00:18:33Lucien! My earring! It fell in the water. It's my favourite, the one you gave me.
00:18:39You want to defy me? Fine. Go into the lake and find that earring.
00:18:43If you don't, you're not setting foot in the palace tonight.
00:18:50Your Majesty, it's snowing. The lake may freeze soon.
00:18:58Let's go.
00:19:08Take good care of our little mermaid, and don't leave her alive.
00:19:25Another pearl is about to break, Lucien.
00:19:28Only six heartbreaks left, before I disappear forever.
00:19:42Your Majesty, Lady Selina has been sent away as you ordered. The snow is getting worse. Should we send someone
00:19:49to bring the Queen inside?
00:19:52No. She brought this on herself. She needs to understand the cost of disobeying me.
00:20:09What the fuck?
00:20:18I can't do it.
00:20:21I can't do it.
00:20:24I can't do it.
00:20:30Lucian, I belong to the sea. I gave up my tail and my ocean to reach you.
00:20:35But you trapped me in this tiny lake and watched me drown in despair.
00:20:40Why? Why would you do this to me?
00:20:49Go check on the Queen. Ask if she's finally learned her lesson.
00:20:57Your Majesty, the Queen's collapsed.
00:21:11Ariel, wake up!
00:21:18No, Ariel!
00:21:31Get the doctor, now!
00:21:46How's she?
00:21:49Your Majesty, the Queen is stable now.
00:21:53The bleeding came from the contraceptive tonic she's been taking. I'd recommend stopping them.
00:22:00Then stop them. No more tomics.
00:22:13Ariel never takes this necklace off.
00:22:16But why does it look like it's missing a few pearls?
00:22:24You're awake.
00:22:31Maybe I went too far today.
00:22:34The doctor said the bleeding was from the contraceptive tonic.
00:22:37Don't take it anymore.
00:22:41No!
00:22:46Why are you looking at me like you're afraid?
00:22:51That's not how you looked at me when we first married.
00:22:55Ariel, you used to look at me with love.
00:22:57I liked that better.
00:22:59Because I loved you with everything I had back then.
00:23:04But now, there's no going back for us.
00:23:11Mira Ashfield.
00:23:12How dare you barge into the royal bedchamber?
00:23:14With all due respect, Your Majesty, you have no right to treat Ariel this way.
00:23:20She's your wife, not a prisoner!
00:23:22Enough!
00:23:24You've crossed the line one too many times.
00:23:27And you do nothing but bring Ariel trouble.
00:23:31From now on, you're not to see Ariel again.
00:23:43No, another pearl's gone.
00:23:47Do you have any idea what you've done?
00:23:51When the last pearl shatters, Ariel will die!
00:23:59What do you mean Ariel will die?
00:24:06Nothing.
00:24:10Just promise me you'll take care of yourself, okay?
00:24:18Mira was just talking nonsense.
00:24:20It's just an ordinary necklace.
00:24:22Nothing special.
00:24:23You will not see Mira again.
00:24:25She's reckless and has no respect for rules.
00:24:28You're the Queen.
00:24:29Today she even stirred you up against Selina.
00:24:31That cannot happen again.
00:24:33You didn't care when I passed out in the snow.
00:24:35You didn't care when I was humiliated.
00:24:38The only thing that matters to you is that I upset your precious Selina.
00:24:43No.
00:24:48I'll keep you locked up here so you can't cause any more trouble for Selina.
00:24:56Even now, you're still protecting Selina.
00:25:00No.
00:25:01I can't take this anymore!
00:25:03I can't take this anymore!
00:25:28Lucien, let's get a divorce.
00:25:35You want to divorce just because I told you to stay away from Mira?
00:25:38This has nothing to do with Mira.
00:25:41I want to divorce you.
00:25:48You want a divorce?
00:25:49Fine.
00:25:50Then pay back every coin you've spent in this palace.
00:25:53Every dress.
00:25:54Every piece of jewelry I've ever given you.
00:25:56Pay it all back and I'll agree to the divorce.
00:26:04This is what I have now.
00:26:06I'll find a way to pay back the rest.
00:26:10Every one of these pearls came from the tears I shed for you.
00:26:14Three years of them.
00:26:16And now, they're the cost of leaving you.
00:26:21Not even close.
00:26:23Everything you've taken from me over the years is worth more than you could ever repay.
00:26:28These cheap pearls won't even cover a fraction of it.
00:26:37Until every debt is paid, you're never leaving me.
00:26:46Lucien, you said you'd never make me cry again.
00:26:48And now, you don't even remember saying it.
00:26:57The wound's fatal.
00:26:59If he doesn't get through tonight, he might never wake up.
00:27:29This is the last of my mermaid power.
00:27:31But if it can save Lucien, I'd give anything.
00:27:54Look at me, Ariel.
00:27:55I'm all right now.
00:27:58I promise I'll never let you shed another tear.
00:28:01You broke your promise, Lucien.
00:28:04You broke my heart.
00:28:06So many times.
00:28:09That my tears can't even turn to pearls anymore.
00:28:14My heart can only break for you five more times, Lucien.
00:28:18Is turning to sea-float the only way to end the punishment of loving you?
00:28:30Your Majesty!
00:28:31You need to come to the throne room.
00:28:33Something's happened.
00:28:39Meera Ashford, you've disrespected me too many times, and now you dare lay a hand on me?
00:28:44Apologize.
00:28:45Now.
00:28:46Apologize?
00:28:47Shouldn't you be the one apologizing to Ariel, the rightful queen?
00:28:50Your Majesty, you have no idea what Selina's done to Ariel.
00:28:59Your Majesty, Meera spoke out of turn.
00:29:01She meant no offense.
00:29:02Please, show her mercy.
00:29:06I'm not apologizing.
00:29:08A pathetic sidepiece has no right to insult Ariel.
00:29:12And sure as hell doesn't get to punish me.
00:29:14Only the king or queen has the authority to command it.
00:29:17That mute little nobody.
00:29:18She's nothing but dead weight warming the queen's throne.
00:29:23Selina, shut your mouth.
00:29:27Lucien, you were supposed to be on my side.
00:29:30Since you won't apologize, hang her up and give her the lash.
00:29:34Now.
00:29:35Let go of me.
00:29:36I will never apologize.
00:29:38Selina started it.
00:29:39She's the one who disrespected Ariel.
00:29:49That kind of power.
00:29:52Selina.
00:29:53She's a siren.
00:29:58I prefer punishing those who disrespect me with my own hand.
00:30:24Ariel.
00:30:26Ariel!
00:30:26Ariel!
00:30:27Ariel!
00:30:34Are you insane?
00:30:35Why would you take a hit for her?
00:30:41Mira is my only friend.
00:30:43I can't just watch her get punished because of me.
00:30:46I'll apologize for her.
00:30:49What are you smiling?
00:30:50I don't understand.
00:30:52If you're apologizing, show some sincerity and say it out loud.
00:30:59You know Ariel can't speak.
00:31:01You're humiliating her on purpose.
00:31:09I can't say it out loud, but for Mira, I'll do anything.
00:31:24Anything, huh?
00:31:26Then walk over here, barefoot, and kneel.
00:31:29You're a monster!
00:31:32Ariel, don't listen to her!
00:31:41Come on!
00:32:09Have you forgotten who you are?
00:32:11You're the queen of this kingdom.
00:32:14You could have refused this punishment, but you threw away your dignity and humiliated yourself like this?
00:32:21Lucian, I was just playing around. You know, I'd never really make her kneel on glass.
00:32:26It's so stuffy in here. Take me for a walk the garden?
00:32:32Cain, get your sister out of the palace, now.
00:32:36Only four heartbreaks remain, Lucian. When will the despair and humiliation you give me finally end?
00:32:42Cain, come on.
00:32:45Ariel!
00:32:48Ariel really isn't fit to be queen. I should be your queen, Lucian. Don't you agree?
00:33:00Her feet were bleeding so badly.
00:33:03She must have been in so much pain.
00:33:05Have some rest. I have something to take care of.
00:33:25Prepare the carriage. Follow them.
00:33:50I've treated your wounds as best I can. But there's an incredibly powerful life force in your body. You're pregnant,
00:33:56Ariel.
00:33:56Ariel.
00:33:57I've been taking the contraceptive potion.
00:33:59Human tonics may not work on you. Your body is extremely fragile right now. You need to rest.
00:34:11Please don't tell Lucian about this. If he finds out, he'll never let me keep this baby.
00:34:16But what are you going to do next? You can't hide this from him forever.
00:34:20I don't know. But I'll do everything I can to protect this child. That's why I have to divorce Lucian
00:34:26as soon as possible. I can't let anyone take my child away again.
00:34:35Ariel, take care of yourself. If you need anything at all, come to us.
00:34:49I can't tell her Selina is a siren. She has enough to carry. I'll find a chance to take her
00:34:54away. I won't stand by and do nothing.
00:35:03Why did you come out of Cain's place, Ariel?
00:35:06You've got it wrong. I fainted earlier. Cain only took me home to get a doctor.
00:35:11You keep disobeying me lately, Ariel. Now you're leaving another man's house and smiling at him. You will be punished
00:35:17for this.
00:35:35Arya, I didn't mean to-
00:35:39Are you pregnant?
00:35:42No, it's just my stomach. I've been drinking tonic lately. There's no way I'm pregnant.
00:35:47Be good, Ariel. Stay by my side. Drop this divorce nonsense and you won't get hurt like this again. You
00:35:53accepted this crown. Even in death, you will be my queen.
00:36:04This is the tears of the deep sea. A relic of the sea witches packed with the ancient king. No
00:36:10one else deserves it but you. Here, let me put it on you.
00:36:13He gives me chains wrapped in ribbons and calls them gifts. That's how he's always been. But I will never
00:36:18lose myself in the twisted love again.
00:36:21Rejecting me again? Ariel, you really need to learn your lesson. This time I won't be gentle.
00:36:34Why are you pushing me away, Ariel? You used to love it when I touched you.
00:36:42Stop fighting me.
00:36:49Only three pearls left, Lucien. Every time you humiliate me, you're just speeding up my death.
00:37:04You're not leaving me, Ariel.
00:37:08Take care of the queen. She's hurt. Without my permission, she is not to leave this room.
00:37:23Lucien, your uncles have always handled these affairs of state. Is there a problem?
00:37:28I simply find it curious how often my mother favors her own brothers.
00:37:32These tedious affairs of state needn't concern you, Lucien. Your priority should be giving the crown a healthy air, not
00:37:39wasting your thoughts on a mute.
00:37:41Wouldn't you agree?
00:37:42Ariel, just wait a little longer. Once I've stripped Iris of her power and taken full control, you won't have
00:37:48to suffer Selina's cruelty anymore.
00:37:54Why haven't you eaten? I get that you're mad at me, but don't take it out on yourself.
00:37:57I'm not hungry.
00:38:03Here. I made this for you. You used to love my apple pie, remember?
00:38:08I don't like apple pie anymore.
00:38:13Be a good girl. Eat it.
00:38:20Does my cooking disgust you that much?
00:38:31Sorry. I didn't mean to lose it like that. I'll clean this up.
00:38:43The morning sickness is getting worse. Like the baby is reminding me it's there. And Lucien's getting out of control.
00:38:52I have to divorce him, and he can never find out about the child.
00:39:09Ariel!
00:39:10Come with me now. I'm getting you out of here.
00:39:14If you stay here, it'll only get worse.
00:39:16Come with me, Ariel. Leave the palace. Leave the man who keeps breaking your heart.
00:39:22You're not just yourself anymore. You have a child to protect.
00:39:27Mira's right. If I stay by Lucien's side, he'll find out about the baby sooner or later. I can't let
00:39:33that happen. I have to leave.
00:39:35Okay. I'll go with you.
00:39:38Meet me here after Lucien falls asleep tonight. I'll get you over the wall.
00:39:52Ariel, stop fighting me. Let's go back to how things used to be. We were happy before, weren't we?
00:40:02But Lucien, you were the one who destroyed our past.
00:40:06You forgive me?
00:40:07I'm leaving tonight anyway. Let this be our final kiss goodbye.
00:40:27The guards just left. I'll grow the vines over the wall. You climb up.
00:40:37Ariel!
00:40:49Ariel?
00:40:54Royal Guard!
00:40:56Lock down the city! Find the Queen! Or you're all dead!
00:41:02Am I finally free? It feels like a dream.
00:41:10Over there! Get the Queen!
00:41:15We split up. I'll use my magic to draw them away. There's no time! Run!
00:41:29We split up. I'll use my magic to draw them away. There's no time! Run!
00:41:44So that's why you were acting all sweet tonight. Just so you could run away from me. Go on then.
00:41:50Run. Why did you stop?
00:41:58I'll use my magic to draw them away.
00:42:07Ariel, you'd rather die than stay with me? Not a chance.
00:42:12If you're going to hell, you're going with me.
00:42:21Take the Queen back to the palace.
00:42:23So this is it?
00:42:25I couldn't get away from that prison after all.
00:42:37I've been nothing but good to you, Ariel.
00:42:39And you'd throw it all away, your crown, your life.
00:42:43For someone like her?
00:42:45I told you to stay away from Mira.
00:42:48But you never listen.
00:42:50Do you?
00:42:55Not Mira!
00:42:56She's my only friend. Please, don't hurt her.
00:42:59You don't need anyone else in your life.
00:43:01Only me, your husband.
00:43:03Yes, I left the sea for you.
00:43:05With nothing but hope.
00:43:07And what did I get in return?
00:43:12You were everything to me, Lucian.
00:43:14But to you, I'm just a pet for your amusement.
00:43:18How could you think that?
00:43:20You're not a pet, Ariel. You're the one person I truly care about.
00:43:24You never care about me.
00:43:27The only one you care about is Selina.
00:43:32I want a divorce.
00:43:33This marriage was never about love.
00:43:36You love Selina, not me.
00:43:39That's not true, Ariel.
00:43:43I can't keep loving you either.
00:43:45Let's just end this.
00:43:47I want to go back where I belong.
00:43:49Where are you going?
00:43:51Somewhere without you.
00:43:54She really wants to leave me.
00:43:56Like I never meant anything.
00:43:58Is that really what you want?
00:44:00A divorce?
00:44:03Fine. If you're so desperate to leave, then go.
00:44:06I will never see you again!
00:44:14Even!
00:44:15Wait!
00:44:20You're not taking anything with you.
00:44:22The clothes, the jewels, everything you have belongs to the palace!
00:44:30Take it all back. Then we're even.
00:44:46Enough!
00:44:52Get out. Now!
00:45:00Get out.
00:45:01Am I really a living hell to you, Ariel?
00:45:02Are you that desperate to escape me?
00:45:05Lucian, you never loved me.
00:45:08So why couldn't you just let me go?
00:45:10Why did you have to humiliate me like this?
00:45:15My baby, no matter what it takes, I will protect you.
00:45:30Well, look what we have here.
00:45:32A pretty little bird out all alone.
00:45:35Well, look what we have here.
00:45:56Take the hands off her!
00:46:01Ariel!
00:46:02Are you okay?
00:46:04Please.
00:46:06Say it, my baby.
00:46:30Your Majesty.
00:46:32The Queen's been gone for quite some time.
00:46:34It's getting late, and it's not safe out there.
00:46:36Should we send someone to bring her back?
00:46:40She needs to learn what it feels like to be scared.
00:46:43So she remembers how safe she has it here.
00:46:45And when she's got no one left to turn to, she'll come back on her own.
00:46:48Like she always does.
00:46:58Ariel?
00:47:08I must be seeing things.
00:47:19Your body's too fragile right now.
00:47:21And after everything you've been through, you might lose the baby.
00:47:24No.
00:47:25My baby.
00:47:27What am I supposed to do?
00:47:30Don't worry, Ariel.
00:47:32Stay here with us.
00:47:33With mirrors and my elven healing magic, we'll save your child.
00:47:43It's been two days. Has the Queen come back?
00:47:48Go find the Queen. Now!
00:47:54Ariel.
00:47:56From now on, Cain and I will protect you.
00:47:59You never have to go back to that cage again.
00:48:04But seriously, what do you think of Cain?
00:48:08I've never seen Cain so worked up over anyone before.
00:48:11He definitely has feelings for you.
00:48:13Why don't you two just be together?
00:48:15You can live with us in the elven kingdom. We could be a family.
00:48:26Where do you think you're taking my Queen?
00:48:39What do you think of Cain?
00:48:39So you're elves.
00:48:41A duke, no less.
00:48:43Living among humans.
00:48:44What exactly are you plotting?
00:48:46We just wanted to take Ariel away from you.
00:48:49You've been torturing her long enough.
00:48:57Mira, please leave us.
00:48:59I need to speak to him alone.
00:49:15So that's why you were so desperate to divorce me?
00:49:18Because you wanted to be with Cain?
00:49:22Tell me.
00:49:24How long have you been sneaking around with those elves?
00:49:27Waiting for the perfect moment to leave me behind?
00:49:34Say it.
00:49:35Did you sleep with Cain?
00:49:37Who was better in bed?
00:49:38Him or me?
00:49:44Is that really all I am to you, Lucien?
00:49:53You care so much for the Ashford's.
00:49:56You'd hit me for them.
00:49:58Too bad, Ariel.
00:49:59You can't save them.
00:50:01Not from me.
00:50:02They're elves!
00:50:03You can't hurt them!
00:50:04I'm going to make you watch, Ariel.
00:50:07Everyone who tries to take you from me will pay.
00:50:10Dearly.
00:50:19Why haven't Mira and Cain come back yet?
00:50:22Could something have happened to them?
00:50:27I heard the Ashfords have been exposed.
00:50:29They got Duke Cain and Lady Mira locked up in the dungeons.
00:50:32The Elven High Council is already here.
00:50:34And Elven lore is brutal.
00:50:36They could strip them of their magic and execute them.
00:50:38How is the Duke ever going to survive this?
00:50:52Cain Ashford.
00:50:53Mira Ashford.
00:50:54You left the Elven Kingdom without permission,
00:50:56and you used Elven magic in human lands.
00:50:59At sundown, you will be executed.
00:51:10So what if your elves cross me and you end up on the chopping block?
00:51:16I can't let Lucian know I was the one pulling the strings behind this.
00:51:20I have to keep pretending I know nothing.
00:51:33Who set all this up?
00:51:36I only wanted the Ashfords to go back to their realm.
00:51:39I never meant for them to die.
00:51:46Lucian.
00:51:46Lucian.
00:51:46I heard the Ashfords are being executed.
00:51:49Why the sudden harsh judgement on them?
00:51:51Is it to get back at them for me?
00:51:54So it really was Lucian.
00:51:56He did this for Selina.
00:51:57He was trying to punish me.
00:52:05Well, well, look who's here.
00:52:07The Mute Queen.
00:52:08I heard you gave up your crown for an elf.
00:52:11Are you here to beg for your lover's life?
00:52:14Selina.
00:52:15Get out.
00:52:34Please spare Cain and Meera.
00:52:36I'll come back to the palace.
00:52:38No more running.
00:52:39I promise.
00:52:43Cain.
00:52:44Always Cain!
00:52:49You think begging me will save him?
00:52:51His crimes are countless.
00:52:53He hid his identity, coveted my queen, and concealed her whereabouts.
00:52:58Any one of those is enough to execute him and Meera.
00:53:01So which one should I overlook?
00:53:03Please.
00:53:04You're the king.
00:53:06You have the power.
00:53:07Please save their lives.
00:53:11You want to plead for him?
00:53:13Fine.
00:53:14I'll give you a chance.
00:53:16Take off your clothes.
00:53:17One piece for one crime.
00:53:19Until I'm satisfied.
00:53:26What?
00:53:27You don't want to?
00:53:29Lucen.
00:53:30Do you really have to humiliate me like this?
00:53:33Take it off.
00:53:39Keep going.
00:53:46If you want to save them, you'll have to give more than that.
00:53:53Take it off.
00:54:05No.
00:54:08No!
00:54:22Ariel, does my touch really disgust you this much?
00:54:29You put your clothes back on!
00:54:32Get out!
00:54:32Now!
00:54:50Go negotiate with the Elves.
00:54:52Make sure those two are spared from execution.
00:55:15Lucian, two more heartbreaks and I'll be gone forever.
00:55:20Aunt Iris, Lucian actually yelled at me today because of that mute.
00:55:25He's pulling away from me and running to her.
00:55:27If that mermaid keeps the crown, our whole plan goes up in smoke.
00:55:35That foolish human, Lucian.
00:55:37I've lost all patience with him.
00:55:41If you won't divorce her, then I'll handle it myself.
00:55:44Go.
00:55:45Bring the Queen to me.
00:55:50Then I'll be waiting for your good news, Aunt Iris.
00:56:12Sign it.
00:56:14Divorce Lucian.
00:56:19I, Ariel, confess that under the late King's orders, I seduced King Lucian and manipulated him into making me his
00:56:26queen.
00:56:27Due to my immoral conduct, I hereby request to be stripped of my title as queen.
00:56:33I'll divorce Lucian, but I'm not signing this.
00:56:37I won't confess to something I didn't do.
00:56:40You had your chance.
00:56:42Throw her in the water dungeon.
00:56:49Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has taken the Queen to the water dungeon.
00:56:53Damn it.
00:56:59I have plenty of ways to make you sign.
00:57:03Pull the lever.
00:57:05Pull the lever.
00:57:18Changed your mind.
00:57:21Keep going.
00:57:23Keep going.
00:57:46Either sign the divorce agreement, or die here.
00:57:52Why, Shannon, why does being your wife have to hurt like this?
00:57:57I traded my voice for a chance to be with you, but all I got was this broken body, and
00:58:03a crime I can never wash away.
00:58:06And yet, my only crime was falling in love with you.
00:58:19What the hell are you doing?
00:58:20Get away from her!
00:58:22Ariel, wait outside.
00:58:41Mother, what have you done?
00:58:44You never liked that mute anyway.
00:58:46I was just getting her to divorce you, threw in a few charges to keep the public satisfied.
00:58:51She refused to sign, so I had to teach her a lesson.
00:58:55Why are you getting so worked up?
00:58:57Don't tell me you've actually fallen for that low-blorn orphan.
00:59:01I can't let her see through me, or Ariel will suffer even more.
00:59:09Of course not.
00:59:10I've wanted a divorce for ages.
00:59:13A mute like her, never fit to be my queen.
00:59:18So that's what I've always been to you.
00:59:20A broken nobody who was never fit to be your queen.
00:59:27Only one girl left, Lucien.
00:59:30The torture of loving you is finally coming to an end.
00:59:45Ariel, I know you were forced to sign it.
00:59:47Don't worry, we won't divorce.
00:59:49I'll find a way to fix this.
00:59:54Don't burn it.
00:59:57Why?
00:59:58You'd rather take all these false charges?
01:00:00Just to divorce me?
01:00:02Please, just let me go.
01:00:04Like a pet you don't want anymore.
01:00:06I'm begging you.
01:00:08One more heartbreak, and I'll be gone.
01:00:12I can't let that happen to my baby.
01:00:15Okay, I'll let you go.
01:00:18After you've recovered, we'll divorce.
01:00:27Ariel, is that all I am to you now?
01:00:30A monster?
01:00:31Look at me.
01:00:32You're supposed to love me.
01:00:34How did we end up like this?
01:00:53Don't ever touch me again.
01:00:59Okay, I won't touch you.
01:01:00Just get some rest.
01:01:15Your Majesty, thank you for speaking to the Elf Elders on our behalf.
01:01:19We've been spared.
01:01:20Meera and I are going back to the Elven Realm.
01:01:22Go back to your people, and stay away from Ariel.
01:01:25Ariel, then please, your Majesty, treat Ariel better.
01:01:31You don't get to tell me how to treat my wife!
01:01:33There's no need for such anger, your Majesty.
01:01:36Ariel's heart belongs to you.
01:01:38We bore your anger only to protect her.
01:01:40But have you ever truly seen how much she's suffering?
01:01:43You have no idea what she gave up just to stand beside you.
01:01:46Enough!
01:01:46Get out of my palace, now!
01:01:49One last warning.
01:01:50Be careful of Iris and Selina.
01:01:52They're not who they seem.
01:02:01Dig deeper into Iris and Selina.
01:02:03I want every lead.
01:02:07The mute signed the papers!
01:02:09Auntie made sure of it!
01:02:10So why isn't Lucian marrying me?
01:02:12Why is he shutting me out?
01:02:20Stage a kidnapping.
01:02:22Take me and that mute bitch.
01:02:25Lucian will have to choose.
01:02:26And when he does, I'll make sure Ariel's out of the way.
01:02:29The crown will be mine.
01:02:31This is strange.
01:02:33Mira said she wanted to see me here.
01:02:37Why hasn't she shown up yet?
01:02:49Let me go, you bastards!
01:02:54Do you even know who I am?
01:02:56Well, now that's interesting.
01:02:58One is the king's mute queen.
01:03:01The other is his favorite little whore.
01:03:03If I make him choose, which one of you will he save?
01:03:07Send word to the king.
01:03:08Tell him to come alone.
01:03:09He'll make the choice himself.
01:03:11Mother, from now on, you will stay out of the state affairs.
01:03:15Time for you to rest.
01:03:21Your majesty, the queen and Lady Selina have been kidnapped.
01:03:24What?
01:03:25Your majesty, the kidnappers demand that you go alone to the cliffside ruins.
01:03:29Or they'll kill them both.
01:03:42Lucian!
01:03:43Help!
01:03:43I'm so scared!
01:03:44Please save me!
01:03:47A king who comes alone for his women.
01:03:50How touching.
01:03:51Let's play a little game then.
01:03:53You get to take one of them.
01:03:54As for the other,
01:03:59She stays on this stone pillar for the vultures.
01:04:03They haven't eaten in three days.
01:04:05They'll pick her clean.
01:04:07Down to the bone!
01:04:08No!
01:04:09I don't want to be eaten alive!
01:04:11Lucian, I'm the woman you love!
01:04:12Don't leave me here!
01:04:13Save me!
01:04:14It's okay if you don't love me, Lucian.
01:04:17I just want to live.
01:04:19Please.
01:04:20You've got five seconds.
01:04:22Choose.
01:04:23Or they both become bird food.
01:04:31I choose.
01:04:34No.
01:04:35This could be Iris' trap.
01:04:37If I choose Ariel,
01:04:38I could get her killed.
01:04:40Who's it going to be?
01:04:42Five!
01:04:43Four!
01:04:44Three!
01:04:46Two!
01:04:47Ariel,
01:04:47I'm sorry.
01:04:48When this is over,
01:04:49I'll make it up to you.
01:04:50I choose Selina!
01:04:52Let her go!
01:05:04Lucian,
01:05:05I knew you'd choose me.
01:05:11Hold on,
01:05:12Ariel.
01:05:13I'll come back for you.
01:05:15He left me.
01:05:16Again.
01:05:17What did you expect, Ariel?
01:05:18Lucian will never choose you.
01:05:21Never has.
01:05:22Never will.
01:05:29Oh, no.
01:06:04Where is Ariel?
01:06:05What did you do to her?
01:06:07She got free and ran toward the cliff.
01:06:15Ariel!
01:06:20Lucien, I'm setting you free.
01:06:22And I'm setting myself free, too.
01:06:25Ariel! Get back here! It's not safe!
01:06:33It's okay now.
01:06:34You're Ariel, the girl father adopted, right?
01:06:37Don't worry.
01:06:38I'll protect you.
01:06:39Look at me, Ariel.
01:06:41I'm all right now.
01:06:43I promise I'll never let you shed another tear.
01:06:46Liar.
01:06:47I hate you, Lucien.
01:06:53The pearls are all gone now.
01:06:55This time I'm leaving you.
01:06:58For good.
01:07:00I'm going back where I came from.
01:07:03To meet the end of my life.
01:07:07No!
01:07:17Your Majesty, we've searched the waters for a day and a night as you commanded.
01:07:22But there is still no sign of the Queen.
01:07:32Arial's diary.
01:07:34I'm pregnant.
01:07:36But I can't let Lucien know.
01:07:38He'd force me to get rid of the child.
01:07:41He'd never let a broken, mute wife bear his heir.
01:07:46Ariel.
01:07:47She was carrying my child.
01:07:49God, what have I done to her?
01:07:54What's this?
01:07:55God, what have I done to her?
01:07:56God.
01:07:56I don't know.
01:08:27The water was freezing.
01:08:29I screamed Lucian's name, but I knew he wouldn't come for me.
01:08:34No. Ariel, I'm coming for you. I'll save you!
01:08:37I'm coming for you.
01:08:48I'm coming for you.
01:08:58You looked at me, Lucian. Cold. Empty. Like I was nothing to you.
01:09:04No! Stop her! Don't let her get hurt again!
01:09:13It's...
01:09:28Every time you took me by force, you reminded me that I was just a thing you owned.
01:09:31I never had the right to say no.
01:09:35I'm sorry.
01:09:38I just wanted to know you still love me.
01:09:59How dare you do this to her?
01:10:00Don't touch her!
01:10:02Lucian, isn't love supposed to bring happiness?
01:10:06So why?
01:10:07Why have you only ever brought me pain?
01:10:13I crushed every hope Ariel had.
01:10:15Ariel is losing you my punishment.
01:10:17It's too much.
01:10:18I can't take it.
01:10:31Iris, Selina, everything you did to Ariel, you will pay for it all!
01:10:42Your Majesty, summon the cabinet immediately.
01:10:45Announce to the entire kingdom that I am marrying Selina.
01:10:49Yes, Your Majesty.
01:10:54Enjoy your final moments of triumph, Selina, because on the day of our wedding,
01:10:58I am going to use your blood as a sacrifice for my dead Ariel.
01:11:02I'm going to use your life as a jewel in 218 minutes ago.
01:11:02What?
01:11:31If you were ever to follow, try and find me.
01:11:41No, Ariel! Don't turn into foam! Please, stay with us!
01:11:49Mira, she's fading. Use it. It might be the only way to save her.
01:12:04Heart of the Elves. House Ashfield's most precious heirloom. Please, save Ariel.
01:12:17Poor thing. A cruel, selfish human shattered every one of your pearls.
01:12:23But there's still hope. If someone gives you their true, unconditional love, the curse will break, and you won't turn
01:12:30to sea foam.
01:12:31Ariel, don't go. Stay with us.
01:12:35I can't vanish like this. My friends are waiting for me. My baby needs me. I have to live.
01:12:55Mira, Kane, I'm back.
01:12:59Ariel! Oh my god, you can talk now! Thank god you're okay!
01:13:09The curse is gone. I'm a mermaid again. And I can summon human legs whenever I choose.
01:13:18I know you paid a heavy price to save me.
01:13:21You were worth every bit of it. So what's next for you?
01:13:24I've already died once. From now on, I'm done being caged by Lucien.
01:13:29I'll live for myself. And for my child.
01:13:44I never knew ordinary people's lives could be this fun.
01:13:48I haven't been this happy since I left the sea.
01:13:54Looks like my brother isn't such a blockhead after all. He really seems to like Ariel.
01:14:00Oh, actually, I've got somewhere to be.
01:14:02Kane, keep Ariel company. I'll catch you later.
01:14:12Did you hear the king is marrying Lady Selina? The wedding is official.
01:14:17Really?
01:14:17But I heard the queen Ariel just died in that fall from the cliffs.
01:14:23I'm fine, Kane.
01:14:25I've already pictured Lucien marrying someone else countless times.
01:14:29And now that it's real, I don't even feel it anymore.
01:14:35You won't have to go through that again, Ariel.
01:14:40Things are only going to get better for you.
01:14:54Actually, Ariel, I have feelings for you.
01:15:02Lucien, what is he doing here?
01:15:18Your Majesty, shouldn't you be planning your wedding to Selina now?
01:15:23I should have known you'd never treat Ariel right.
01:15:25Your arrogance, your obsession.
01:15:28You broke her.
01:15:29And now she's dead because of you.
01:15:34You were right.
01:15:35It was all my fault.
01:15:40That silhouette, it looks exactly like Ariel.
01:15:44Wait.
01:15:45Ariel?
01:15:46Is that you?
01:15:47Did you come back?
01:15:49No.
01:15:50The Ariel who gave up everything for you?
01:15:53She's dead.
01:15:54You killed her.
01:15:55And she's never coming back.
01:15:58Ariel.
01:16:00You have no idea how much I miss you.
01:16:14I'm sorry.
01:16:16I mistook you for someone else.
01:16:26I heard Lucien still won't accept that you're gone.
01:16:29He's searching the sea for you, day and night.
01:16:34Sooner or later, he'll let go.
01:16:36It seems Ariel has truly let go of the past.
01:16:39That's wonderful.
01:16:56The wedding is tomorrow.
01:16:59Our plan is finally coming to fruition.
01:17:03Once I'm queen, the human kingdom will belong to the sirens.
01:17:19Your majesty, the investigation's done.
01:17:22Queen Mother Iris and Lady Selina, they aren't human at all.
01:17:40This potion kill Iris, Selina.
01:17:42Use it or not, that's up to you.
01:17:59Ariel, it's almost over.
01:18:23Ariel once walked toward me with that same joy in her eyes.
01:18:27But I ruined it.
01:18:29All of it.
01:18:31I now declare, Lady Selina, the kingdom's new...
01:18:54Monster!
01:18:55The new queen is a monster!
01:19:06You...
01:19:08You poisoned me.
01:19:09This is what you owe Ariel.
01:19:11Pay her with your life.
01:19:13So what if you kill me?
01:19:15Ariel is never coming back!
01:19:17You've lost her forever!
01:19:19Forever!
01:19:35No, Selina!
01:19:38I'll kill you all!
01:19:40This entire kingdom will burn with her!
01:19:54You...
01:19:55You poisoned the wine, too?
01:20:09Iris, you and Selina took Ariel from me.
01:20:13You schemed for my throne.
01:20:14You tried to hand my kingdom to the sirens.
01:20:16Now, you die.
01:20:19I'll grant you a swift death with the sword my father left me.
01:20:36The sirens schemed for our crown.
01:20:39So I turned this wedding into a trap.
01:20:43Now that they're gone, our kingdom is safe again.
01:20:56But I am a sinful king.
01:20:59My arrogance and obsession drove my queen to death, and I killed our unborn child.
01:21:07As my penance, I swear here and now, Ariel is the only queen of this kingdom.
01:21:14I will never marry again.
01:21:32Ariel, I avenged you and our child.
01:21:36But why does it still feel so empty?
01:21:50Well...
01:21:52I feel...
01:22:02I feel...
01:22:03I feel...
01:22:07I will...
01:22:07I either...
01:22:08I ...
01:22:08I can't feel...
01:22:08I can't do my...
01:22:08Jon...
01:22:08придумate me.
01:22:08You can't do it.
01:22:08Right. Flowers. You always loved them. I should have brought you some. I'll be right back.
01:22:25Maybe this is for the best. The old Ariel who gave everything for love. She was buried here.
01:22:33Time for me to start a new life.
01:22:40I heard Lucian killed Selina and Iris. And he told the whole kingdom you'll always be his only wife. That
01:22:48he'll never marry again.
01:22:53Ariel, would you forgive Lucian and go back to him?
01:23:02No. He only did that to ease his own guilt. To make himself feel better.
01:23:12If you've truly let go of the past, Ariel, could you give me a chance? Let me take care of
01:23:18you.
01:23:20I'll be a father to your child. I'll protect you both for the rest of my life.
01:23:29Kane, you're a good man. But I just ended a painful marriage. I can't rush into anything right now.
01:23:37Give me some time. I'll think about it when I'm ready.
01:23:42Really? I'll wait. As long as it takes.
01:24:06Ariel.
01:24:07Ariel!
01:24:10Ariel!
01:24:11It's really you. I knew you had to be alive. I never stopped looking for you.
01:24:18I killed Selina and Iris. I avenged you. No one will ever hurt you again. Come back to me, Ariel.
01:24:25Please.
01:24:27Did it ever occur to you that you're the one who hurt me most? I died once because of you,
01:24:33Lucian. If Kane and Mira hadn't saved me, I wouldn't be here.
01:24:37You... you can speak!
01:24:42I should have chosen someone who knew how to be kind. But that was never you, Lucian. You were the
01:24:48biggest mistake of my life.
01:24:50You're with Kane? Since when?
01:24:52Just now.
01:24:53You're leaving me? Taking my child and running straight into his arms?
01:24:58This child almost died because of you. Because you abandoned me again and again!
01:25:05I did it to fool Selina and Iris. If I'd shown the slightest sign that I cared about you, they
01:25:11would have killed you. I was protecting you!
01:25:14Protecting me? By throwing me into that freezing lake to find an earring? By making me walk barefoot over broken
01:25:20glass? By leaving me on that pillar? For vultures to tear apart?
01:25:25What?
01:25:27You don't deserve to be a father, Lucian. This child is mine. You have nothing to do with us.
01:25:35You're my wife, Ariel! You can't take my child and run off with another man! You're coming home with me
01:25:42right now!
01:25:42No!
01:25:56You...
01:25:57What are you?
01:25:59Ariel used to love you with everything she had. She even risked her life for you!
01:26:04But you broke her over and over. If you've got any decency left, let her go.
01:26:12You want the truth? Come to the sea. Just the two of us.
01:26:32You can get your help!
01:26:41You will never have to.
01:26:42You're my daughter.
01:26:42You don't need to be my daughter.
01:26:42You're my daughter.
01:26:47I will never go.
01:26:47And you just be your daughter.
01:26:53I'm Lucian Grayson. Nice to meet you.
01:26:56It was you. The little mermaid.
01:27:00This is where we first met.
01:27:04Where you saved me. And where I fell in love with you.
01:27:09For you, Lucian, I left the sea.
01:27:13I made a deal with the Sea Witch.
01:27:15I traded my tail for human legs, all to be with you.
01:27:19But the deal came with a curse.
01:27:22Every time you broke my heart, a pearl on my necklace shattered.
01:27:26When the last one broke, I'd turn to sea foam and disappear forever.
01:27:31I once dreamed of spending my life by your side.
01:27:35But you shattered my pearl one by one.
01:27:38When I was fading into sea foam,
01:27:41Kane and Mira gave everything to save me.
01:27:43They brought me back.
01:27:45As a mermaid.
01:27:48I'm sorry, Ariel.
01:27:51I didn't know.
01:27:52You had seven chances to make things right.
01:27:55And you blew every single one.
01:27:58So that's it.
01:28:00We're done.
01:28:06No, Ariel.
01:28:09I love you.
01:28:13Your love is poison.
01:28:15It's control and possession.
01:28:17It only hurts me.
01:28:20I want my freedom.
01:28:23I told you I'd return to a place without you.
01:28:26The sea.
01:28:28You'll never find me there, Lucien.
01:28:34No!
01:28:35Ariel!
01:28:44Ariel!
01:28:44I'll never let you go.
01:28:47I'll wait for you.
01:28:49No matter how long it takes.
01:29:14I'll never let you go.
01:29:16You're here.
01:29:18you finally came back for me but i don't think i can hold on much longer
01:29:28i promise you in our next life i will love you the way you deserve
01:29:33i will never let you leave me again
01:29:36you
