00:04The sun. Maya, the sun should be up by now.
00:07Keep swimming. Don't look at the sky. Look at the sand.
00:11There is no sky. Look at it. It's not getting lighter.
00:18The current stopped. The whole sea just stopped.
00:23That's not the wounded one. That's a new one.
00:26Three.
00:26Two new ones.
00:27Four. Jack, where are they coming from?
00:37They're circling. They're circling us.
00:39Back to back. Now. Don't let one get behind us.
00:42There's no shore. Maya, the lights are gone.
00:45They were never lights. We were swimming toward them. They were swimming toward us.
00:54I don't know this. I've read every attack pattern there is and I don't know this.
01:04If this is it.
01:05It's not it.
01:06If it is, we don't let go. Right? The rule.
01:09The rule. Whatever happens, we don't let go.
01:12There's no floor under us. Jack, the bottom's just gone. We're over the deep.
01:21You. I know you. You're the one that.
01:26Maya, get back from it.
01:28It's not attacking.
01:31Look at it.
01:32It's waiting for something.
01:34Maya, eyes on me.
01:36Eyes on me.
01:37I'm here. I'm here.
01:41Dad!
01:42Maya, hold on. Hold.
01:51Jack.
01:57I'm breathing.
01:59Jack.
01:59Jack, I'm breathing the water.
02:04How are we? We're miles down. We can't. How are we talking?
02:07I'm unknown. I don't know, but don't stop.
02:09Just keep breathing. Stay next to me.
02:13This isn't a wreck.
02:15This is a city.
02:16Jack, this is built. Someone built this.
02:23Tell me you see that. Tell me I'm not.
02:24I see it.
02:25Men's bodies. Sharks' heads. I see it.
02:38You are the first.
02:40The first what?
02:41The first living humans ever brought to the Droughton Court breathing.
02:44The dead we have in plenty.
02:46The living? Never.
02:47Until you.
02:51The king has waited a long time for you, lifeguard.
02:54For me. Not us. For me.
02:57The king has waited for you.
02:59The man is a guest of a different kind.
03:05What's that mean? A different kind, Maya?
03:08It means we stay together.
03:10Wherever he goes, I go.
03:12That is not how a court works.
03:15No! Maya, hold on. The rule!
03:17Jack!
03:19I'm not letting go! I'm not!
03:21You cannot fight the deep, child.
03:23The deep is patient.
03:24The deep always wins.
03:27Where are they taking me?
03:29Maya, where?
03:30I'll find you!
03:32I swear to God, I'll find you!
03:34Jack!
03:35Don't forget me!
03:38Jack, whatever they tell you,
03:40don't forget me!
03:42Never! Maya never once!
03:43So, the one who walks into the water,
03:46he walks back out.
03:47At last, you have walked in far enough.
03:49Welcome home, Maya.
03:52You know my name.
03:54I have known it for three seasons.
03:56Every time you pulled a body from my water.
03:58I felt it.
03:59You kept stealing back what I had named.
04:02It was very rude.
04:03Named.
04:04You keep saying that.
04:05The Herald said it. What does named mean?
04:07Ah.
04:08So no one has told you the only rule that matters down here.
04:10Come, walk with me.
04:11A king should explain his kingdom to its queen.
04:14I'm not your queen!
04:16Not yet.
04:17Walk anyway.
04:18The Deep runs on one law, Maya.
04:20Not gravity.
04:21Not blood.
04:22Naming.
04:23Everything down here is either named or unnamed.
04:26And the difference?
04:27The difference is everything.
04:29The unnamed are bound.
04:31Dissolved.
04:32Owned.
04:32They belong to me the way your hand belongs to you,
04:34without choice, without self.
04:36They were once men.
04:37Now they are mine.
04:38You took their names.
04:39I took nothing.
04:40The Deep took it.
04:41I merely keep the ledger.
04:42But the named, ah.
04:44The named are free.
04:45They serve me not because they are bound,
04:47but because they chose to be named into my court.
04:49Their loyalty is real because it could be withdrawn.
04:51The unnamed cannot leave.
04:53The named will not.
04:54Do you see the difference, lifeguard?
04:55And who decides?
04:56Who does the naming?
04:57Now that is the right question.
04:58Only a king.
04:59And only a king who is freely crowned.
05:00A monarch who seized his throne by force can rule,
05:02can kill, can command, but cannot name.
05:05Naming is the power of a crown that was given, not taken.
05:07It is the one authority that cannot be stolen.
05:09It can only be granted.
05:10So your word can name and unname.
05:13My word can bind a thousand sharks to loyalty with a syllable.
05:15My word can dissolve a drowned man back into the sea or call him up to serve.
05:19My word made this court.
05:20And a queen, freely crowned beside me, would hold that same word.
05:24You're offering me that.
05:25The naming?
05:26I am offering you the only thing you have ever truly wanted, Maya.
05:29Power over who lives and who the water takes.
05:31Up there you could only ever fail one body at a time.
05:34Down here you could command the tide itself.
05:36There's a catch.
05:37There's always a catch.
05:39The catch is you must be named into the deep yourself.
05:41You must stop being human.
05:43A surface thing cannot hold a crown.
05:45You would have to belong to the water.
05:47To me.
05:49And Jack?
05:51The man?
05:52The man I came down here still holding.
05:55Where is he?
05:56What are you doing to him?
05:58He is being made comfortable.
06:00My daughters are tending to him.
06:02He is no part of this offer, Maya.
06:04He is the life you would be leaving.
06:06Then there's no offer.
06:08He's the whole reason I'd want any of it.
06:10Say that now.
06:11The deep is patient, Maya.
06:12I have waited three seasons.
06:13I can wait three more.
06:15You will see, in time, that the man is a small thing and the crown is a vast one.
06:22I have waited three years later.
06:23The daughter has requested the woman not been permitted below.
06:27They say the man is settling well.
06:31Settling?
06:32What does settling mean?
06:34It means he is happy.
06:35Be glad for me.
06:37Take me to him.
06:39Now!
06:39You are a guest, not a commander.
06:42Not yet.
06:42When you wear the crown, you may go anywhere in my seat.
06:45Until then, he will be roved and housed and courted properly.
06:49I mean to win you, Maya, not break you.
06:51There is a difference, and I will honor you.
06:54You can't win something that's already given.
06:56And mine's given.
06:57To him.
06:58So was someone, once, to me.
07:00The sea took her name before I learned to keep it.
07:03I built all of this so it would never happen again.
07:05You will understand.
07:07They always understand.
07:08In the end.
07:09The female.
07:10The scarred one from the marina.
07:11The one that didn't kill me.
07:13That was you.
07:14You sent her.
07:16Now you are beginning to understand the courtship.
07:26Tend the man well, daughters.
07:28A grieving Widomer is such gentle clay.
07:30Make him forget he ever needed to leave.
07:39I have to.
07:40There's someone.
07:42I came down here with someone.
07:44Did you?
07:45You came down alone, surface man.
07:47They always come down alone.
07:49The deepest, the loneliest there is.
07:52No.
07:53There was a woman.
07:54Her name was...
07:55Her name...
07:56It started with an M.
07:57It started with...
07:59Why can't I...
08:00Names are slippery down here.
08:03Don't strain.
08:05Straining only hurts.
08:07Let it go and the hurting stops.
08:10Where do they keep the man?
08:12The one brought down with me.
08:13The grottos.
08:14Where are the grottos?
08:15Down.
08:16Always down.
08:17The warm dark.
08:19Where the daughters keep their pets.
08:22Their pets?
08:25How do I get there?
08:26You don't.
08:28The named go where they're called.
08:30You haven't been named.
08:31You go nowhere.
08:35Do you know why the surface is dying, surface man?
08:37It's not dying.
08:38It's...
08:39There's sun.
08:39There's a desert.
08:40White House...
08:40The desert is dust.
08:41The sun is burning your world to ash.
08:42The water is the only thing that will last.
08:44Everything that matters ends up down here eventually.
08:46You've simply arrived early.
08:48There was a reason I was fighting.
08:49To get back up.
08:51There was a...
08:51A reason...
08:52There was a woman, you said.
08:53And where is she now?
08:54She left you the moment the king called.
08:55She'd swim up to a throne while you sank down to us.
08:58That is what surface women do, Jack.
09:00They climb.
09:00We don't climb.
09:01We keep.
09:03How do you know my...
09:05I know everything you've stopped holding on to.
09:07I catch it as it floats away from you.
09:09Soon there'll be nothing left to catch.
09:11And you'll be perfectly happy.
09:13Jack.
09:14He's down there.
09:15I can feel it.
09:16Is there anything left of them?
09:18The men your daughters take.
09:20Anything human?
09:20There was a man once who lasted a month.
09:22He wept the whole time.
09:23The weeping is the last thing to go.
09:25Then they stop weeping.
09:26And then they're happy.
09:26And then they're nothing.
09:28Not him.
09:29Not in a month.
09:30Not ever.
09:32Drink.
09:33It makes the forgetting soft instead of sharp.
09:36If I drink, do I forget her completely?
09:39You forget there was ever in her.
09:40You forget you were ever sad.
09:43Isn't that mercy?
09:46We don't let go.
09:48What did you say?
09:50We don't...
09:51There's a rule.
09:53We don't let go.
09:54There are no rules here but ours.
09:57Drink.
09:58There.
09:58You feel that?
09:59The water teaching your body what it always wanted to be.
10:02By the time the king has his queen, you'll be one of ours.
10:05A son of the deep.
10:06You'll never even remember you were prey.
10:08If they won't take me to him, I find my own way down.
10:11The currents.
10:11They run through the whole city.
10:13If I follow the warm one...
10:15The current goes to the grottos.
10:16But the daughter's guarded.
10:17Eldest.
10:18First.
10:19Nerissa.
10:21Nerissa?
10:22First and cruelest of the king's blood.
10:25She'll see through you in a heartbeat.
10:29Then I'd better not let her get a heartbeats look.
10:32Sleep now, surface man.
10:34When you wake, you'll be a little less of what you were and a little more of what you'll be.
10:37And the woman with the M name?
10:40She'll be a dream you can't quite finish.
10:44Maya.
10:45Maya.
10:46The king's prize is named Maya.
10:48And so is the last word my pet won't drop.
10:51Now isn't that a thread worth pulling?
10:53Father has a secret in his queen.
10:56And I do so love my father's secrets.
10:58They're always the ones that bring down kingdoms.
11:13Going somewhere, guest?
11:14To find Jack.
11:15You'll lose yourself in the lower currents and dissolve before you find a thing.
11:19Come.
11:19I'll show you what you're really running from.
11:21And then you may judge whether running is wise.
11:25Look.
11:26Every shark in my sea.
11:27When I command the fast, not one of them eats.
11:29Not a seal.
11:30Not a man.
11:30Nothing.
11:31You can do that.
11:32You can just stop them.
11:33All of them?
11:33With a word.
11:34The name to obey because they love me.
11:36The sea goes quiet because I will it.
11:37This is the power I keep offering you and you keep refusing to see.
11:41This isn't courtship.
11:42This is a cage with nice walls.
11:44All courtship is.
11:45Yours up there had a beach and a whistle for walls.
11:47Mine has an ocean.
11:48Mine is simply more honest about it.
11:52This isn't courtship.
11:53This is a cage with nice walls.
11:56All courtship is.
11:57Yours up there had a beach and a whistle for walls.
11:59Mine has an ocean.
12:00Mine is simply more honest about it.
12:02Look.
12:03Every shark in my sea.
12:04When I command the fast, not one of them eats.
12:06Not a seal.
12:07Not a man.
12:08Nothing.
12:08You can do that.
12:09You can just stop them.
12:10All of them?
12:11With a word.
12:11The name to obey because they love me.
12:13The sea goes quiet because I will it.
12:14This is the power I keep offering you and you keep refusing to see.
12:17You have spent three seasons pulling broken bodies from the surf.
12:21Each one a failure.
12:23Each one too late.
12:24What if I told you that you never have to be too late again?
12:27I'd say there's a price you haven't named.
12:29There's always a price.
12:30I've never hidden it.
12:31The price is you.
12:40The female from the marina.
12:43The one that chose not to kill me.
12:45You keep dangling her.
12:47Where is she?
12:49Healed.
12:50Honored.
12:51She is one of my finest now.
12:54She didn't spare me in the marina.
12:56When she shielded the male and looked at me and didn't strike, that wasn't mercy.
13:01That wasn't a bonded pair mourning.
13:03That was...
13:05That was obedience.
13:06I commanded her to fetch you unharmed.
13:08The whole of last season.
13:09The pair.
13:10The hunting.
13:11The one that chose you.
13:12It was my hand.
13:13Bringing my queen to the edge of the water over and over until she was ready to come down.
13:17Holt died for that.
13:18Cain died.
13:19Forty people in the first.
13:21They all died because you were courting me?
13:23They died because the sea takes.
13:25It always has.
13:26I simply aimed the taking toward a purpose.
13:29Toward you.
13:29Is that not more meaning than a random death?
13:32I gave their drownings a reason.
13:33You don't get to call murder a love letter.
13:36And yet you read every line of it.
13:37You came down here, Maya.
13:39In the end, you swam toward the glow.
13:41Some part of you has always belonged to the deep.
13:43I only addressed the envelope.
13:45I said yes.
13:46All the surface deaths.
13:48They stop.
13:49Everyone.
13:50Forever.
13:51No mother ever pulls a small shoe from the surf again.
13:54You would be the reason.
13:56The queen who emptied the water of grief.
13:58One word, Maya.
13:59Stop being human.
14:00Stop failing one body at a time.
14:02Rule.
14:03And the killing finally, finally makes sense.
14:06You have no idea how much of me wants to say yes.
14:08I have every idea.
14:09That is why I am patient.
14:10That is why I will win.
14:12But you skipped a line in your own love letter.
14:14Which?
14:15You said the named are free.
14:16They serve because they choose to.
14:18So a queen who's named, she's free too.
14:21Free to say yes.
14:22Which means free to say no.
14:23You can't make me.
14:25You can only convince me.
14:26And you just lost the only argument that mattered.
14:29You listen too well.
14:32You taught me the rules to seduce me.
14:34You should have kept some back.
14:37Then I will convince you the long way.
14:38Through grief.
14:40You will watch your man dissolve in my daughter's grottoes until there is nothing of him left to swim back
14:44to.
14:45And when he is gone, when the surface has nothing left to hold you, you will choose the crown freely.
14:50Because it will be all that's left.
14:51You're letting them unmake him.
14:54On purpose.
14:55On purpose.
14:56To take away my reason to leave.
14:59I am letting the deep do what the deep does.
15:02I simply won't stop it.
15:03There is a difference and I will honor it as I honor all my cruelties.
15:07Then I have to get to him before there's nothing left.
15:11You can't.
15:12You're unnamed.
15:13You go where I allow.
15:15Then name me.
15:16You want me to choose freely?
15:17Give me the freedom to move.
15:19Let me see him.
15:21Let me see exactly what your sea is doing to him.
15:23And then ask me for my answer.
15:25Bold.
15:26You want to watch him drown so you'll despair and surrender.
15:29Very well.
15:29I'll grant you passage to the gross.
15:31Look upon what you're losing.
15:33Let it break you towards me.
15:34I am so certain of my victory, Maya, that I will hand you the route to your own heartbreak.
15:41Thank you, Majesty.
15:42Don't thank me.
15:43Grieve for me.
15:45It's the same thing in the end.
15:47Hold on, Jack.
15:48I'm coming down.
15:49Don't let go.
15:50Don't you dare let go.
15:58Do I know you?
15:59You have a kind face.
16:01Have we met?
16:02Oh, Jack.
16:04What did they do to you?
16:07Jack.
16:08Jack, it's me.
16:09Look at me.
16:10Really look.
16:11You keep saying that name, Jack.
16:13Is that me?
16:14It's a nice name.
16:15I don't think it's mine.
16:16It's yours.
16:17It's been yours every day I've known you.
16:19Jack.
16:20Lifeguard.
16:21You pulled half a town out of the water.
16:23You ran at a shark for a kid.
16:25You...
16:25That sounds exhausting.
16:27Why would anyone do that?
16:28There she is.
16:29The M name.
16:30Come to watch the last of him go out.
16:32How perfectly tragic.
16:34I do love an audience for my work.
16:36What did you give him?
16:37A little nectar.
16:37A lot of forgetting.
16:38He's so much happier now.
16:40Weren't you weeping pet when you first came down?
16:41And now look.
16:42All smiles.
16:43I don't think I've ever been sad.
16:45Have I?
16:46It doesn't feel like a thing I've done.
16:48That's it.
16:48That's what this place is.
16:49It doesn't cage you.
16:51It dissolves you.
16:51Believe what you want.
16:53Tell your father what you want.
16:54He's the one who'll decide if my yes is real.
16:56He wants you crowned so badly, he'll believe any yes you give him.
16:59And that's what frightens me, Mem Name.
17:00Because the day my father crowns a queen freely is the day his power can be questioned by the right
17:05voice.
17:06You're not surrendering.
17:07You're scheming.
17:08I can smell it.
17:09Whatever you do with me, give me one hour with him first.
17:12If he's already gone, what's the harm?
17:13Let the grieving widow say goodbye.
17:15You said grief breaks people toward the crown.
17:17Let it break me.
17:18An hour.
17:18Fine.
17:19Grieve.
17:20Soften.
17:20It serves my father's plan so it's mine to seem to allow it.
17:22But I'll be watching, Name.
17:24And if you so much as wake a single memory in my pet, I'll know you for a liar.
17:27And I'll tell my father what his queen really is.
17:30Listen to me.
17:31Don't react.
17:32They're watching.
17:32I have an hour and I'm not going to waste it crying.
17:34You seem upset for someone I just met.
17:36I'm going to remind you of every single they stole and you're going to come back to me.
17:39It's because we don't let go.
17:40That's the rule.
17:41We don't let go?
17:41Why do I?
17:42Why does that?
17:43I can't do it alone in an hour.
17:45I need leverage.
17:46I need someone inside this court who wants the king gone as badly as I do.
17:50And I think I just found her.
17:51Something on your mind, Mam Name?
17:53Just thinking how a clever daughter must hate being a daughter forever.
17:56When she could be a queen.
17:58Go on, surface woman.
17:59Say the rest of that thought.
18:01Say it slowly.
18:03I find I want to hear every word.
