Short filmTranscript
00:00I am the last princess of the Siren people.
00:03Six years ago, I saved a human man.
00:05I loved him, and I gave him my kingdom secrets.
00:08He repaid me by sealing my voice with a poisoned needle,
00:11then led his army to slaughter all 3,000 of my people.
00:15He thought I was dead.
00:17He was wrong.
00:18Lord Caius crushed four kingdoms before he even turned 30.
00:22Of course, he once infiltrated the Sea Clan as a spy all on his own.
00:26It's because of him that our kingdom is this powerful.
00:29That's why Serafina had to marry him.
00:35Today, we gather here to bind two souls together.
00:39Do you swear upon your life to guard her kingdom?
00:45As you once swore other vow?
00:48What did you say?
01:02Do you remember what you said, kneeling before me?
01:08You said, if your kingdom ever falls, it will only be because I died first.
01:13You didn't die, but my kingdom fell.
01:17My people died.
01:19My father died.
01:20You owe my people their lives, Caius.
01:22I'm here to collect.
01:24His crown, his alliances, his woman, his reputation.
01:28Six years ago, he took everything from me.
01:30Now I want him to watch as it all shatters piece by piece.
01:34But first, let me show you how he stole my entire world.
01:51Please.
01:53Hunters are after me.
01:56I'm not one of them.
01:57I'm who they want to kill.
01:59Please.
02:00Hold on.
02:25You're safe here.
02:27My name is Vesper.
02:29Vesper.
02:31You saved my life.
02:36Your injuries were too severe.
02:38Any later and I couldn't have helped.
02:45General.
02:49The intelligence about the Siren Clan is all confirmed.
02:52Her voice can heal fatal wounds.
02:55One song can bring a dying man back to his feet.
02:58But if we obtain this power, battlefield casualties will cease to exist.
03:02An entire army will be impervious to blades and arrows.
03:06Coordinates to follow.
03:07Give me time.
03:08Give me time.
03:09I will obtain everything.
03:12Sleep.
03:13You're safe here.
03:15That was the first time I touched his face.
03:18I thought the heavens had sent him to me.
03:21He touched my face too later.
03:23But his other hand was holding a needle.
03:25The Western Wall stands roughly 40 feet high.
03:28With a gap.
03:30Passable at low tide.
03:33The tribe numbers approximately 3,000.
03:37No standing army.
03:39Absolute trust in outsiders.
03:42No defenses.
03:43That human.
03:44You trust him too much.
03:46Father.
03:47He's different from the others.
03:50I hope you're right.
04:03Just one piece missing.
04:06Where is the forbidden place?
04:09This is my home.
04:11I've never brought anyone here before.
04:13I don't even know why I brought you.
04:17Because you trust me.
04:19It's too dangerous out there.
04:20Hunters everywhere.
04:21I'm afraid.
04:22If hunters ever find this place.
04:24If your kingdom ever falls.
04:26It will only be because I died first.
04:30Vesper.
04:30I swear it.
04:33I believe you.
04:37One kiss.
04:38One location.
04:40Next step.
04:41She brings me there herself.
04:43Not hard.
04:44She already believes everything.
04:48Caius.
04:49Come on.
04:51He said he'd protect me with his life.
04:54I believed him.
04:55Then he asked me to open the door.
04:57I had never let any outsider see.
04:59I opened it.
05:05What lies behind this door?
05:08Only my father and I have ever entered.
05:12Caius!
05:14Three hunter's ships have been spotted beyond the coastline.
05:19Three of them.
05:20Three of them.
05:21Vesper.
05:21Listen to me.
05:22If they find your tribe's source of power, they will destroy it first.
05:27Let me see it.
05:30I need to know how to defend it.
05:32Those three ships were his doing.
05:36He manufactured the fear, then pretended to be the only way out.
05:46Come inside.
05:51My God.
05:53My God.
06:01This is the source of our tribe's voice.
06:04As long as it endures, we endure.
06:07General, I found it.
06:09A thousand times larger than I imagined.
06:11This isn't a weapon.
06:13It's an entire sea.
06:14If we control it, no force in the world will stand against us.
06:18Come further.
06:20There's more.
06:22A tracking stone.
06:23The general's sorcerers will sense it.
06:26From this moment on, they know the location.
06:31Caius?
06:32I was looking at the patterns.
06:33They're beautiful.
06:35Show me more.
06:44With you here, I'm not afraid.
06:48That was the last time I felt safe.
06:58Will you stay?
07:02Caius?
07:04Caius?
07:05Yes.
07:07I'll always stay.
07:10Do you swear?
07:14I swear.
07:16Then I have nothing to fear.
07:22Venom from a deep-sea jellyfish.
07:24One drop.
07:25And a siren's vocal cords are sealed permanently.
07:28The general's orders.
07:29Capture her alive.
07:31Seal her voice.
07:32Bring her back.
07:32A siren without a voice is more useful than a dead one.
07:36Now is the moment.
07:37She won't wake.
07:39One drop is enough.
07:53Tomorrow.
07:54Tomorrow.
08:16Princess! Hunters!
08:19They're coming from the sea!
08:21They've sealed every entrance!
08:36Father!
08:43Caius! You're still here!
08:46Come. Help me get Father out.
08:51Vesper.
08:52Vesper.
09:04You... You promised me.
09:06You said with your life...
09:08I said many things.
09:09You chose to believe all of them.
09:14Did you ever love me?
09:17Even for one second?
09:18Your kingdom was beautiful.
09:21Your voice was useful.
09:24You're asking the wrong question.
09:31You're...
09:34What?
09:36What?
09:53Oh, my God.
10:16Vesper, don't sing.
10:17They're waiting for you to open your throat.
10:20The moment you do, they'll know you're still alive.
10:22You are the last voice of the Siren people.
10:25Father.
10:26Live.
10:28Take your voice away, you.
10:30Someday.
11:04You are the last voice of the Siren.
11:17My Lord, the entire Siren royal family is confirmed dead.
11:21Princess Vessa is on the list.
11:22Was her body found?
11:23Swept away by the wave, but given her injuries...
11:28Keep looking.
11:40Oh, stop.
11:48Ah!
11:49Ah!
12:18I would be annoyed.
12:21I'd be-
12:22"'iver-?'
12:40Let me see your picture."
12:40Ni-
12:51If your kingdom ever falls, it will only be because I died first.
12:55Vesper, I swear it.
13:01You chose to believe all of them.
13:06Live.
13:07Take your voice away, you.
13:16No whore singing, no!
13:25No whore singing, no!
13:30Princess, you're alive.
13:35Princess, you're alive.
13:38Why?
13:43How many are low?
13:45Seventeen here.
13:47A few more in the westernness.
13:49Perhaps, thirty.
13:52The children.
13:53She hasn't spoken since that day.
13:55Not because she can't.
13:58Because she doesn't dare.
14:00I know, I didn't dare even go.
14:03It took me two years before I dared to open my mouth again.
14:06But we have to open our mouths.
14:08Not to sing.
14:10To make the ones who did this hear us.
14:14How long have you been waiting here?
14:16Three years.
14:19No more waiting.
14:21Caius, you said I was asking the wrong question.
14:25Fine.
14:25Now it's your turn to answer mine, one by one.
14:43I spent three months.
14:44Princess Seraphine, his future queen.
14:46She trusts anyone who is kind to her.
14:48Exactly like me, six years ago.
14:55Lyra, you saved my life.
14:59My lord, Princess Seraphine has arrived.
15:03She brought a cousin with her, named Lyra.
15:05A cousin?
15:09A distant relative.
15:11Very quiet.
15:13Insists on personally attending the princess.
15:24Caius, you've finally come.
15:32Hello.
15:34My name is Lyra.
15:37Hello.
15:38My name is Lyra.
15:40Hello.
15:42You're dead.
15:44You should be dead.
15:45I personally...
15:52My lord, your hand is shaking.
15:55Is the palace too cold?
15:58Is the palace too cold?
16:00A little.
16:02Lyra is the person I trust most.
16:05I'm sure you'll like her too.
16:11He knew it was me.
16:12I knew he knew.
16:13But he couldn't say so because that would mean explaining how he recognizes a siren princess who died.
16:18And I didn't need him to say it out loud.
16:21I only needed him to be afraid.
16:23That woman!
16:24Investigate her.
16:25Now!
16:25I want everything before tomorrow.
16:27My lord, she's only the princess's cousin.
16:28I said now!
16:38First one.
16:40You're Seraphine's cousin?
16:42You walk like a fisherman's daughter.
16:43Whatever you wear, it looks borrowed.
16:44I was the one who introduced Lord Caius to this court.
16:47Seraphine is marrying him because of me.
16:50Everyone in this palace owes me something.
16:52Including you.
16:53Remember your place.
16:55Yes, my lady.
16:59She said she introduced Caius to this court.
17:04And she must know a great deal.
17:08Lyra, sing us a song.
17:10You can't?
17:11Of course.
17:12Look at these hands.
17:14How many dishes have you washed to make them look like that?
17:23My lady is right.
17:25I can't really sing.
17:27Only just a little.
17:33I poisoned my husband.
17:37Three years ago.
17:39He wanted to leave me.
17:42I put poison in his wine.
17:43I watched him die.
17:46I don't know why I'm saying this.
17:47I can't stop.
17:49Lyra.
17:51I'm frightened.
17:53Don't be afraid, your highness.
17:55I'm here.
17:59She's doing exactly what I did.
18:01Step by step.
18:02Get close.
18:03Earn their trust.
18:04And then...
18:04She didn't come back to kill me.
18:06She came to destroy everything I own, one piece at a time, right before my eyes.
18:11And I can't tell anyone who she is, because that would mean confessing that six years ago I slaughtered an
18:16entire people.
18:21I swear.
18:21I can't tell him the truth.
18:23I'm sorry.
18:24I'm sorry.
18:24I only got a few minutes left.
18:25Let's go.
18:25And let's go.
18:25sea who's leading an old man with a broken tail they seemed to be waiting
18:33for someone we've put them all in the underground sea prison sealed their
18:41mouths lock it down no one in the palace is to know even Lady Lyra I said no one

20:40yes my lord according to records that distant branch died out in the plague ten years ago

24:35I think I need to leave the palace for a while now, but we're supposed to go pray at the
24:40temple this afternoon
24:45I lost something very important. I have to find it
24:51It's me. I'm Vesper. What happened?
24:56Where's Mira? Did Mira send you to find me?
25:01Seventeen of them. All captured. And the elders?
25:07Understood. Hide in the woods outside the city. Wait for me
25:16Mira. It's Mira
25:20Wait for me
25:27Where did you go?
25:31I went to see an old friend. It's dangerous out there
25:37Lyra, do you have a secret? Can you tell me your highness? Some secrets will cost a life
25:55That's the water channel we used to use. They've welded shut
26:03Only three guards inside. Follow me. Mira should be inside
26:15Princess, you shouldn't have come
26:22Move. Now
26:30I've been waiting for you. There's no way out
26:34Vesper, stay
26:38I'm dead
26:50Princess
26:51Princess, go to the sea
27:00Mira!
27:10Princess
27:11Princess, here am I
27:20Too few names
27:23What I want to judge
27:25is the lie of the entire palace city
27:31We can't save them
27:33Mira's gone too
27:35He didn't slaughter the past us
27:37He's slaughtering the us of now
27:40And the us of now
27:42Still has a voice
27:49I sent them back to the dungeon
27:52Come back with me
27:53I promise they live
27:55I promise they live
27:55Your promise
27:56Is it those three thousand graves from six years ago?
28:02Tell me what you want
28:04Anything
28:05What I want
28:07You can't give
28:08You already owe
28:12Three thousand lives
28:15How will you pay?
28:33How will you die?
28:43I'm done!
28:51It's the princess.
29:36My lord, the flagship is lost.
29:38No survivors, and the messengers sent to deliver the execution order to the singing sea.
29:43Where are the messengers?
29:43All three messenger boats were capsized by huge waves less than a mile from shore.
29:47Carrier pigeons crashed into the sea the moment they flew out.
29:50We've lost all contact with the garrison.
29:52The sea I conquered for six years.
29:54Now it's becoming a wall.
29:56That's not something an ordinary person can do.
30:01I can't move a single soldier to the coast.
30:05My lord, this venom, it's from back then.
30:08Her voice can destroy everything.
30:10Only this can silence her one more time.
30:12But the entrance to the singing sea is already controlled by her people.
30:15We can't get it in.
30:16No need to send it in.
30:17The underground water pipes are still ours.
30:19Pour it into the upstream source, that's enough.
30:21My lord, that will kill every syrens held there.
30:24I know.
30:30It's the venom in the water.
30:32That's how they killed the princess's voice back then.
30:41He wants to take my voice away.
30:44One more time.
30:45I've heard the lord can't hold the syrens back anymore.
30:47The whole sea is full of their songs.
30:49That so-called hero of the sea back then, wasn't it a borrowed reputation?
30:52She's stripping away every honor I lived on.
30:55Just as I stripped away her people.
30:59The ancient blood awakens.
31:05Break the chains.
31:07Return to the sea.
31:26The sea returns to its masters.
31:32Princess!
31:34Drown the whole palace city!
31:35Let them taste what extinction feels like!
31:38Their children shouldn't pay for their father's debts.
31:42The sea!
31:43It's falling from the sky!
31:49The power I schemed for six years ago.
31:56Now,
31:59I can do nothing.
32:32The sea!
32:33The sea!
32:34The sea!
32:34The sea has eyes!
32:35Look!
32:36Who is that?
32:39Who is that?
32:53My man!
32:55Order the mage towers now!
32:57The water is flooding in!
32:58It's already destroyed the memorial and the statue!
33:05It's useless.
33:08This is her roll call.
33:17Please!
33:19Please!
33:19No!
33:20No!
33:23Gods!
33:25I was on the shore then.
33:27I thought they were just beasts.
33:31This sound!
33:33It carries across the entire coast!
33:35I thought it was just a mystery.
33:44This melody.
33:45It's exactly the same as my motherland's morning song.
34:48This is the military teller. This is the Imperial Decree Seal. He used these three things to kill my father
34:54and brother. Today they leave with me.
35:00My lord, her highness is gone.
35:03And the rosewood chest in the hidden compartment of your study, it's empty too.
35:15She didn't just leave. She took every token I needed to command this empire.
35:47The alliance I was proud of.
35:49It was built on her blood-stoked hatred. The safe woman I protected. She wanted to kill me with her
35:55own hands. All of it was a lie.
36:06Come.
36:07Your majesty, still waiting for your army?
36:10They've already thrown their armor into the sea outside the city, begging for forgiveness.
36:17Elias, you should run too.
36:23Run! I knelt under this throne for six years. Your so-called hero of the sea name, I built it
36:30for you with severed heads.
36:32Now the sea is back. You can't hold it down and you want us to die, will you? Hand over
36:38the royal seal and the treasury order. You're not the king anymore.
36:42You're a cursed disaster. This seat belongs to someone who can keep the land alive.
36:47Give it to you, Elias. Listen to what's outside.
36:55The sea doesn't want the royal seal. Sit then, if you think you can survive the night in that chair.
37:05This is what I traded three 3,000 lives for.
37:263,000 lives! 3,000 children you dumped into the sea, Trench!
37:34Princess, let me kill him. My son. They were on that beach that night. Let me kill him!
37:41We don't use his way.
37:43Why? He's a monster! He slaughtered our whole people!
37:47If today we kill a man kneeling for death, then this sea will no longer be the Singing Sea. It
37:52will be another land filled with hate.
37:54Go back. The sea is waiting for you, not your death here.
37:59Why save me? Kill me?
38:02Please.
38:02Killing would be too easy. Live. Watch this sea. Remember every life. This is the rest of your existence.
38:08Every time you close your eyes, I want you to dream of those 3,000 voices.
38:14Don't leave me alone! Don't make me carry these memories by myself!
38:19The sea doesn't want me. The land won't let me return.
38:23When I'm transformed. The sea doesn't want me. The sea just will happen.
38:33Stop!
38:34Stop!
38:37Stop!
38:41No!
38:43No!
38:45Take your voice away, you.
38:47No!
38:48No!
38:49No!
39:27Every time I try to move, the sea pushes me back.
39:31This is the rest of my existence.
