FunTranscript
00:00Because Nerea's going to make me put the crown on a hundred more times before this is done,
00:03and I don't know if the woman who comes out is the one you married.
00:07I'm not sure she's still entirely the one steering.
00:09That's the truth.
00:10That's the ugliest one I've got.
00:13You know what the worst part is?
00:14When I was in the Graz drugged, forgetting you, I was happy.
00:18The forgetting felt good.
00:19It felt like home too.
00:20And you came down and dragged me out of good back into hard.
00:23So I know exactly what's pulling at you.
00:25I've been the one the sea was eating.
00:27I just never thought I'd be the one standing on the shore.
00:30Watching it eat you, knowing how good it feels to let it.
00:32Then you know better than anyone.
00:34You know it can be done.
00:35You came back.
00:36You forgot me completely and you still came back.
00:39So if anyone on this earth gets to tell me the home you belong to isn't the one that feels
00:43good,
00:44it's you.
00:45You're the only proof I have that it's possible.
00:47Then promise me the only thing you can actually promise.
00:50That every single time you put it on.
00:52Name it.
00:53You'll let me be the one who takes it off.
00:54You don't do it alone.
00:56You don't decide alone whether to come back.
00:57The brown eyes are my job.
00:58You wear the crown, I hold the leash.
01:01Deal?
01:02Deal.
01:04There is only one way to stop a poison at its source, queen.
01:07You go to the source.
01:08The lure is brewed in the old court.
01:09In the ruins Neressa rebuilt.
01:11The grotto craft.
01:12It pours from there into all the water.
01:13To break the siege you would have to go down.
01:15Back to the drowned court.
01:17Into her seat of power.
01:18Heavy with child.
01:19No.
01:20Absolutely not.
01:21She's not going back down there pregnant.
01:23Into the one place there's no land law.
01:25Where the air is hers for the taking the second she's in the deep.
01:27Slowly on land where she wants me.
01:29Or quickly below where she really wants me.
01:32She's giving me a choice between two ways to drown.
01:35So I pick the one where I get to drown fighting.
01:37We go down, Jack.
01:38We go back to the court.
01:39It's glowing.
01:40Down there.
01:41Like it knows.
01:42It does know, queen.
01:43She's wanted you down there from the start.
01:44The land was always your wall.
01:46The moment you go below.
01:47You walk out from behind it.
01:48Into the one place where she makes all the rules.
01:50She's not besieging you to kill you.
01:52She's besieging you to make you come down.
01:54And you just decided to do exactly what she wants.
01:57I know.
01:57Let her think she's winning.
02:03No!
02:03Tem!
02:04No!
02:04That's the pull!
02:05Tem!
02:05Come back!
02:06Grab his other arm!
02:07He can't hear you!
02:08The lure has him!
02:09Tem!
02:09Your name is Tem!
02:10Hold your name!
02:11Hold it!
02:13It's so sweet.
02:14It tells you to let go and it feels like...
02:17Like finally being allowed to stop.
02:19Don't let me near the water.
02:21Whatever happens.
02:22Don't let me near it.
02:23The land.
02:24Keep me on the land.
02:25I can feel it from here.
02:26And my gills are burning, Jack.
02:28I need the water.
02:29And the water's the lure now.
02:30She's good.
02:31I'll give her that.
02:32She found the exact shape of trap I can't refuse and can't survive.
02:35No charging.
02:36No dying.
02:37We just pour.
02:39A little more lure each tide.
02:41She has to keep her gills wet and we own all the wet now.
02:44Let her sit in her bucket of clean water on her dry little land and let her watch it run
02:48out.
02:48The sea is patient.
02:50I learned it from her.
02:51I'm just better at it.
02:53The clean water buys us, what?
02:56A week?
02:57Two?
02:58Less if the baby keeps pulling like she is.
03:01Maybe ten days of good brine.
03:03Then I'm boiling poison and praying.
03:06Ten days.
03:08Then we don't wait ten days.
03:09We go down before the clean water runs out while I'm still strong enough to swim.
03:13The source.
03:15The court.
03:16We break the lure where it's brewed.
03:18Or it doesn't matter how many buckets we boil.
03:22Then you do for me what I do for you.
03:24I hold your crown leash up here.
03:26You hold my name leash down there.
03:27The second I start to go, you drag me back with four words.
03:31We don't let go.
03:32It worked once at the bottom of the world.
03:34It'll work again.
03:37Last chance to stay on the land, consort.
03:40Not a chance, your majesty.
03:41Hold my name.
03:43I'll hold your crown.
03:44We don't let go.
03:46We don't let go.
03:47Now hold your breath, Jack.
03:49And whatever the dark tells you down there, it's lying.
03:52The only true thing in the whole ocean is my voice.
03:55Follow my voice.
03:58Then we go fast.
03:59Hold my voice.
04:00Don't hold the water.
04:01Hold me.
04:01This is it.
04:02This is where I remember this.
04:04The kelp, the hands, the forgetting.
04:06Don't look.
04:07Look at me.
04:07You came back from here on once.
04:08You're swimming past it on your own power.
04:10That's not the place that beat you, Jack.
04:12That's the place you beat.
04:13Now move.
04:14I beat it.
04:14Yeah, I beat it.
04:17Keep talking, Maya.
04:18Your voice.
04:19Don't stop talking.
04:20I won't stop.
04:21I never stop.
04:22Ask anyone.
04:23It's my worst quality.
04:24God, I love you.
04:25Keep being annoying.
04:26It's keeping me alive.
04:28It's bigger than before.
04:30She rebuilt it in her own image.
04:31There, the source.
04:32The luren's pouring from the heart of it.
04:35That's where we're going.
04:36Quiet.
04:37Jack.
04:38Don't move fast.
04:40Look around us.
04:41Slowly.
04:42There's an army.
04:43There's a whole army just floating.
04:45Waiting.
04:48Mother.
04:50You came.
04:54Hello, Nerissa.
04:55No land beneath your feet now, mother.
04:57No witnesses.
04:58No tideline.
04:59Just the deep and me.
05:00And a hundred of my hollowed children between you and any way out.
05:04Down here, the air isn't claimed.
05:05Down here, there's no law but mine.
05:07I've been so patient.
05:08I poisoned an ocean just to get you to walk through that door.
05:11And here you are.
05:12Walked right in.
05:13You filled your own house with the bound, Nerissa.
05:16That seems overconfident.
05:19For someone who learned the law from her father.
05:21They're hollowed, mother.
05:23Nameless.
05:23Loyal as stone.
05:24You think you'll name them?
05:26Free them?
05:26You'd need to claim a hundred souls in a single breath against the full strength of my lure
05:29pouring through them while I tear your throat out for trying.
05:32Go on.
05:32Try.
05:33I'd love to watch you fail at the one thing you're proud of.
05:35Nothing to say, mother?
05:37No clever rule?
05:38No witnesses to save you?
05:40Then let's finish what my father started.
05:42Let's keep you down here.
05:43Forever.
05:44With me.
05:45As family.
05:46Family.
05:47Funny you should say that.
05:49Hear me.
05:50All of you.
05:51Every name she took.
05:52I am the queen who gives them back!
05:58It's not taking.
06:00The lure is too strong.
06:02I can light their names, but the poison snuffs them out.
06:05You see, mother?
06:06You can shout their names all you like, but I'm pouring for getting into them faster than
06:10you can give it back.
06:11As long as the source runs, your call is a candle against a flood.
06:14You can't free them while the poison flows, and you'll never reach the source.
06:18It's mine.
06:19She's right.
06:20She's...
06:20I can't outname the source.
06:22I have to stop the lure first.
06:24Cut the flow, then name them the source.
06:26We have to reach the source.
06:27Then we get to the source.
06:28You name, I'll get you there.
06:30You won't reach it.
06:32This is my house now, mother.
06:34I rebuilt every spire.
06:36I know every current, and I have a hundred hallowed children who do exactly what I say.
06:42Stop them.
06:45Let's go, Maya!
06:46Get toward the source!
06:47I'll hold the door!
06:48You can't hold a hundred!
06:50Can I hold them long enough?
06:51Go!
06:53Holt's crew!
06:54I know you!
06:55It's not enough!
06:56One at a time!
06:57It's not enough!
06:59We're the only two women who ever wore his crown.
07:02Everyone else's land, or food, or dead.
07:04Stay! Be my family!
07:07Stop being so alone.
07:10Brown eyes!
07:11She's not your family!
07:13We're your family!
07:14Maricel's your family!
07:16I'm your family!
07:17Don't you let go!
07:19You're the one poisoning it right now.
07:23No land, no law, no witnesses.
07:26Just the deep finally taking what it's owed.
07:28Can't reach the source.
07:30Can't outname the flood one by one.
07:32So I don't do it one by one.
07:35I do it all at once.
07:37Everything I've got.
07:38The whole crown.
07:39Even if it...
07:39What are you?
07:40Stop!
07:40What is that?
07:42You said I couldn't name a hundred souls in a single breath against your flood.
07:46You're right.
07:46I can't.
07:48So I'm gonna name them with everything I have.
07:49The whole crown.
07:51Every drop.
07:52Even if there's nothing left of me after.
07:53Maya, no!
07:54Everything you have, you're pregnant!
07:55You'll...
07:58I don't really like him.
08:01He refused me too.
08:04At the end, pride over family.
08:08You had a hundred years to learn from his mistake and you just made it again!
08:16Let them have her!
08:17Maya the baby!
08:18We have to move!
08:18You can't give birth here!
08:19Land law!
08:20Jack!
08:21The baby has to be born or claimed on land.
08:24Down here she...
08:24That's right, mother.
08:25You can't have her down here.
08:27Born in my deep, she's unclaimed.
08:29The land law doesn't reach the bottom of the world.
08:31You freed my army but you trapped your own child.
08:34Born in the deep, she's the deeps.
08:36She's mine the second she breathes!
08:39If Marisiel's born down here, born in the deep, unclaimed, no land, the law's gone.
08:44The deep can take her.
08:45We have to get up.
08:46We have to get to the surface before she's born.
08:48I have to carry her up.
08:50Against the whole sea.
08:51Right now.
08:52You won't make it!
08:53It's miles to the surface and you're wheeling as you swim!
08:56I don't need an army to take one Norborn off a drowning mother!
09:00I'll follow you every fathom of the way up, mother.
09:03And the second she slips from your arms, she's mine!
09:05Gasping.
09:07Up.
09:08Just up.
09:10Not yet, Marisa.
09:11Not yet.
09:11Not down here.
09:13Wait for the sun.
09:15Wait for the land.
09:16Your mother is going to carry you to the sun!
09:20You poured it all into freeing them.
09:23You saved an army and emptied yourself.
09:25And now you can't even...
09:27Jack!
09:27I can't...
09:28The crown's gone.
09:29The strength went with it.
09:30I can't make my arms...
09:30Yes, you can!
09:31You did 11 minutes underwater at 11 years old.
09:33You survived a 100-year courtship.
09:34You swim an ocean and drag me out of the dark.
09:36You don't get to stop Maya.
09:38Say them with me.
09:39We don't let go!
09:40We don't let go.
09:42That's it!
09:42That's it!
09:42Up, Maya!
09:43Up!
09:43We don't let go!
09:44Kick!
09:45We don't let go!
09:46Kick!
09:47Hold on, Marisa.
09:49Your mother is bringing you to the light!
09:54Okay.
09:55Again.
09:56Not yet.
09:57I know you want out, baby.
09:58I know.
09:59But not in the dark.
10:00Hold on for your mother.
10:02The sun's right there.
10:03The sun's right there!
10:05Maya!
10:06Jack!
10:06Don't stop!
10:07Don't you dare stop for me!
10:09Keep climbing!
10:10I'm right behind you!
10:12Go!
10:14You're not...
10:15I'm not letting go of you!
10:16I'm coming!
10:17Just don't stop for the baby's sake!
10:19Go, Maya!
10:20Go!
10:20Almost, mother.
10:22Almost to the light.
10:25But almost is where I live!
10:27Go, queen!
10:28This one's mine!
10:29You took my name for 100 years, daughter.
10:32I'll spend it holding you for 10 seconds!
10:34Worth it!
10:37Get off!
10:38Let go of me!
10:39She's getting away!
10:40Let go!
10:41The light!
10:42Jack, I can't see the...
10:43Oh, God!
10:44She's coming!
10:44She's coming now!
10:45I can't stop her!
10:47Then we make the surface in the next 10 seconds.
10:50Kick, Maya!
10:51One more!
10:52The biggest one!
10:53The one that counts!
10:54We don't let go!
11:00There!
11:03They're in the shallows!
11:04Get them!
11:05Pull them onto the land!
11:06Go, go, go!
11:09She's coming!
11:10I have to be on land!
11:12You're going to be on the land!
11:13Not on the sand!
11:14She's born in the water!
11:16She's mine in the water!
11:18Above the line!
11:20Above the line!
11:21She's on the land!
11:22Maya, you're on the land!
11:24She's coming!
11:25Jack, she's coming!
11:27And we made it!
11:28We made it to the land!
11:30You did it!
11:31You've carried her up!
11:32You did the impossible thing again!
11:34Now bring her into the world, Maya!
11:36Bring our daughter into the light!
11:38Born, but not played!
11:39Say the words, mother!
11:41I dare you!
11:42You're empty!
11:42The crown's spent!
11:44You've nothing left to claim her with!
11:46Watch me!
11:49You want me to claim him?
11:50You think I'm too spent?
11:52The crown's empty!
11:53You forgot something, daughter!
11:54Snarking!
11:55What?
11:55What did I forget?
11:56The land claim doesn't need the crown!
11:58It needs a mother!
11:59And witnesses!
12:01And dry ground!
12:02And I've got all three!
12:04Mother, you're so tired!
12:06Look how tired you are!
12:07You carried her up the whole world!
12:09You're bleeding on the sand!
12:10You don't have to fight anymore!
12:11Just let go!
12:13Come into the water!
12:14Bring her down with you!
12:15It's so much easier in the water!
12:20Easier!
12:25The lure!
12:26She's using the lure on her!
12:27Queen, don't listen!
12:28She's pulling you to the water!
12:30Don't listen to the shark, mother!
12:31Listen to the water!
12:32You were always meant for it!
12:34The gills!
12:34The black eyes!
12:35The crown that won't come off!
12:37You belong down there!
12:38With me!
12:38With your own kind!
12:40Bring the baby into the sea and stop fighting what you are!
12:42Stay!
12:42Rule with me as sisters!
12:44Let go!
12:45My own kind!
12:48Stop fighting!
12:50Maya!
12:51Maya!
12:51Look at what's in your arms!
12:53Not the water!
12:54Her!
12:54Look at Marissa's sister!
12:55Look at your daughter!
12:56He's land, mother!
12:58He'll age and die and rot in the dry!
13:00But you and Niri and these children, we're forever!
13:03The sea is forever!
13:04Come be forever with your real family!
13:07Let the land man go!
13:08No!
13:09You don't get to let go!
13:10Not now!
13:11Not after all of it!
13:11You came down to kelp bed for me when I'd forgotten my own name!
13:14You said four words until the ocean cracked!
13:16So I'm saying them back!
13:17I did not let go!
13:18I will not let go!
13:19I will never let go!
13:20Brown eyes, Maya!
13:21Come back!
13:22Oh God!
13:23I almost...
13:24I almost walked her into the...
13:25But you didn't, because I held your name, same as you held mine!
13:28It's a two-way rule!
13:29It worked!
13:29Now finish it, Maya!
13:30Claim her!
13:30Claim her before Narissa finds another way in!
13:32The words!
13:33The born claims!
13:34Same as the quicking or difference!
13:35Born now!
13:36Not quickened!
13:37Name her!
13:38Hold her!
13:38Claim her!
13:39By blood on land!
13:40Before witnesses in the light!
13:41Speak it true and clean and the deep loses her forever!
13:44No gap!
13:45No loophole!
13:45No second chance for Narissa!
13:49I'll take her in the gap!
13:51Between the breath and the word, there's always a gap!
13:54No gap today, daughter!
13:56Bracing!
13:58We're the wall!
14:00Claim her quick!
14:02Before these witnesses, Delphine, Elise Van, the freed and the damned, on this land, in this light...
14:15Your name is...
14:18Maricel is the light that reaches the deep.
14:21You, you're the one we carried up out of...
14:23Your name is Aurelia, the dawn, the first light on the water.
14:26Fierce to Narissa, she belongs to the land and the light and to me!
14:29I name her!
14:30I claim her!
14:31She is claimed!
14:43Claim'd!
14:44Claim'd!
14:45Born and claimed, on land, in the light.
14:48Disbelieve, I had an ocean, I had an army, I had the lure, quiet, broken.
14:53And you beat me with a word twice, sinking as you beat my father.
14:56There's nothing left, you've taken everything I had.
15:01Look at her.
15:02She has nothing.
15:04No army, no crown, no father, no family.
15:06Just the wound, the same wound that ate Abbas.
15:09We long beat, Jack.
15:11So why does it feel like there's still one person drowning out there?
15:14Quiet.
15:15Because you're you.
15:16Because even now, looking at the woman who poisoned an ocean to take our kid to lifeguard and you is
15:20counting one more drowning swimmer.
15:23What do you want to do, Maya?
15:24She's beaten, she's no threat now.
15:26She'll sink and be gone, you can just let her go.
15:30Maya, what are you doing?
15:31She's beaten, let her go!
15:32No, I told her down below I'd let her into my family.
15:35She refused me, but I never said the offer was hers to refuse twice.
15:39She's the last one drowning on my beach, Jack, and I don't let people drown.
15:42Not even her.
15:44Come to gloat, mother.
15:46Come to watch the daughter sink.
15:48Go on, you've earned it.
15:49You won.
15:50Twice, say something cruel and let me drown.
15:52I'm not gonna gloat.
15:53And I'm not gonna let you drown.
15:55Then what?
15:55You'll re-offer your little family?
15:57Your charity hand?
15:58I refused it below.
15:59I'll refuse it on the surface.
16:00I don't take borrowed crowns and I don't take pity, mother.
16:03My answer's the same.
16:04No!
16:05See?
16:05That's the thing, Nerissa.
16:06You keep saying no like it's still yours to say.
16:09But you taught me something down below, you and your father both.
16:12An offer can be refused.
16:14A naming can't.
16:16Don't you dare!
16:17You don't get to, I refuse!
16:18You don't get to refuse this one.
16:20I named an army that didn't ask.
16:22I named my daughters into the light.
16:23And I'm naming you, Nerissa, whether you want it or not.
16:26Maya, she poisoned an ocean.
16:29She tried to take our children.
16:30You're going to claim her?
16:31She's the last drowning person on my beach, Jack.
16:33And the thing that's been drowning her for a hundred years isn't the water, it's that nobody ever chose her.
16:37Her father didn't, so she spent a century making sure nobody could.
16:40Well, I'm choosing you, the hard way, out loud, and you can't stop me.
16:44Why?
16:45I took everything from you!
16:46I gave you nothing but war!
16:48Why would you?
16:49Because that's the difference between us and your father.
16:51He chose by worth, by blood, by crown.
16:53I choose by who's drowning.
16:55And right now that's you.
16:56It's been you the whole time.
16:57Before these witnesses, the land and the deep both, I claim you.
17:00Nerissa, first daughter of the king.
17:02Not me, not my prey, not my regent, my sister.
17:04Family, by the same blood that wore his crown.
17:06By the same authority that freed your army and named my children.
17:08I name you mine.
17:10You belong.
17:10Whether you like it or not, it's done.
17:12You can't just name someone into a family.
17:15That's not how.
17:16It's exactly how.
17:17You just watched me do it three times this morning.
17:19The naming's done, Nerissa.
17:20The choice was mine and I made it and it's irreversible.
17:23Now the only thing left to decide, the only thing that was ever yours to decide,
17:26is what you do with belonging to something you can't refuse.
17:28You're telling me I can choose different.
17:30I'm telling you the choice you've got left is smaller than you think.
17:32You're already named, already family, already mine.
17:35The only question is whether you take the hand or sink alone, family and all.
17:38Your father couldn't take a hand.
17:39Be more than him.
17:42Mr. I don't know how to be that.
17:44Nobody does.
17:45We all make it up as we drown.
17:47Welcome to the family, Nerissa.
17:48It's a strange one.
17:49There's a shark, a scientist, a man who wants nearly dying, and two babies.
17:53You'll fit right in.
17:54I can't stay on the land, mother.
17:55Sister, I'm not like you half and half.
17:57I'm all deep.
17:58The dry would kill me as the sea kills your husband.
18:00But there's a court down there now.
18:01The freed.
18:02Lost between worlds with no one to rule them kindly.
18:04Someone named to family but still of the deep could rule them.
18:06A between.
18:06For you, a queen sister below, holding the deep for the family above.
18:09Then that's what you'll be.
18:10Not my enemy below.
18:11My family below.
18:12The deep's queen and the children's aunt.
18:14You hold the dark, I'll hold the light.
18:16And the line between stops being a war.
18:18It becomes a doorway between two halves of one strange family.
18:22The children.
18:24Maricel.
18:25Auraria.
18:25They'll grow up half of the deep.
18:27They'll need someone down there who knows what they are.
18:29I'll watch them.
18:30From below.
18:30Not to take them.
18:31To keep them.
18:33That's what an aunt does, isn't it?
18:35That's exactly what an aunt does.
18:36I still don't forgive your kind for the harpoons and the nets and the poison you put in my sea.
18:40I'm still other, mother.
18:41I always will be.
18:42But I'm yours.
18:43You named me.
18:44And I let you.
18:46That's more than my father ever managed.
18:47Is it over?
18:48Is it actually over?
18:50It's not over.
18:50It's just not a war anymore.
18:52I'm something new now, Jack.
18:53Not Abyss's monster.
18:54Not Naretta's prey.
18:56Queen of a court that exists between.
18:57And you.
18:58The sea finally letting you in.
19:00The crew and I will watch from here.
19:01The children's guard.
19:03The scale's even now, queen.
19:05More than even.
19:06I helped hunt you once.
19:07Now I'll spend forever keeping yours safe.
19:10For the name.
19:11For the chance to add weight to the other side.
19:1320 years of evidence.
19:14Every spiral.
19:15Every stranding.
19:16Gone.
19:17Because some things you don't document.
19:19Some things you just get to be part of.
19:20I came to prove the ocean was real.
19:22Turns out the realest thing in it was a family.
19:24I'm not leaving.
19:25Ever.
19:25We did it.
19:26We didn't beat the ocean.
19:27We made it family.
19:29One foot on the land.
19:30One in the sea.
19:30And both of them ours.
19:31Both of them ours?
19:32I'd swim it all again.
19:34The whole ocean.
19:35Twice.
19:35For this.
19:36You won't have to.
19:36Right here.
19:37From now on, we stay at the waterline where both halves of us get to be home.
