Previously on Siren...
Why Ben's mother hurt?
She tried to get some medicine.
- It hurt her. - I help Ben.
Stem cells from a deepwater marine creature.
You crossed a line.
But sometimes that's the cost of gaining knowledge.
- What is it? - Application for the sheriff's academy.
- You're applying? - Thinking about it.
I'm worried about Nicole. I've been trying to reach her,
but it's nothing, it's just crickets.
We're gonna give tours. I mean, this is the mermaid
capital of the world, right?
The procedure went exceptionally well.
- And Ryn? - Not yet.
I implanted the first embryo in you.
You won't be coming back. I know.
For you, so you remember me.
How deep would you say someone could freedive?
I think the world record's about 700 feet.
- Everything okay? - Never better.
Look, I know something big is happening here.
Something with the military and whatever creature you guys caught.
That's what I'm really after.
- She's gone. Ben! - No! No!
You wanted evidence, right? I got it.
They're saying it was an accident.
You did everything you could.
_
I'm trying to eat the food more, it's just not quite the same.
- A lot of potatoes. - Good morning.
- What happened to Nadia? - Food poisoning.
I was deadheading this afternoon
so operations moved me in.
Four passengers, going to Seattle.
Telecom guys. Hope you're ready.
And have lots of Scotch.
For them or me?
Yes, she's on board...
How could she not be on the roster?
Well, who is she?
What is she wanted for?
Detain in Seattle.
Copy that, will do.
Excuse me.
Holding up okay?
Sort of.
We've started our descent,
just a few hundred miles out of Seattle.
You survived.
What the hell are you doing?!
You're not in crash position.

These are lovely.
Where did you get them?
The water.
How's she doing?
Uh, hard to tell.
Could go either way.
She's been talking about cooking dinner for us forever.
She's really excited.
We gotta make her feel good about it.
Yeah, I know.
I got a emergency pizza in the fridge just in case.
Oh!
These are the actual stomach contents of a pilot whale
found beached on the North Island of New Zealand.
This stuff, it doesn't go away.
But now, we might have a solution,
and it uses the forces of the earth itself.
Ben, have you heard about this guy?
No.
Robb Wellens.
He started this project to clean plastic from the ocean
using natural current patterns.
He's kinda brilliant.
They've raised over ten million dollars
from like a hundred different countries.
We can do this.
We have the technology.
We can restore Earth's greatest natural resource...
Its oceans.
He's giving a talk in Seattle.
We should go check it out.
Yeah, definitely.
Ready.
Ryn, this looks amazing.
Salad.
Yeah. Carrot and banana salad.
Hmm.
What's this?
Marshmallow chicken.
You like it?
Mmm. Yeah, it's delicious.
Ben?
Uh, yeah. Very, uh...
It's... It's... It's original.
Good.
I cook tomorrow night, too. More ideas.
Sarge?
Oh...
Oh, Sarge...
You're doing pretty well with this pearl business.
When we find them in oysters, we spit them out;
but for humans, they are money.
What's that about?
It's a news producer, Warren Lim.
He's been reaching out about Ian Sutton.
And the accident.
Why is he reaching out to you?
He knew that I was talking to Ian about Klesco.
He knew about the video of Ryn, that Ian was looking into it.
I've been trying to blow him off,
told him I didn't know anything,
just that the paper said it was an accident.
It's gonna be okay.
Everything that happened, it ended with Ian.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, um...
What's going on?
Every time it comes up, you both get weird.
Is there something you're not telling me?
I made a choice.
What do you mean?
In the water, I had a chance to save him,
I could have gotten him out,
but I didn't.
He kidnapped Ryn, Maddie.
He was gonna kill us on the road.
I know what would have happened if
he shared the secret with the world.
One life.
To save an entire species.
You let him die.
I was there, too. I could have helped.
That's different, Ryn.
What he did, what he was going to do was wrong.
What you did was wrong. What? D-Don't you see that?
You let him die.
I...
Maddie...
No, I need to, Ryn.
It was the right decision.
We did the right thing.
Hey, Sheriff.
You're up early.
Yeah, it's technically still last night for me.
You, um... You got a sec?
Yeah.
What can I do for you?
You know that girl Nicole, right, works for the military?
She's the reason you walked out of jail.
Yeah. Um, look, I haven't...
I haven't heard from her in, like, a while.
It's like she's gone missing.
I, um, I went by her motel room, it was empty.
Housekeeping said that she left with a military guy, arguing.
She won't answer any of my texts.
And then Ben, he stop by at the facility where she works
and he says that her desk is just cleared out.
It's like she was never even there.
I can ask around, see what I can do.
But it sounds like the military wanted her gone.
If that's the case,
it's gonna be very difficult to find anything.
So messed up.
Yeah.
I just wish there was more I could do.
About all of it.
Did Helen tell you what she wanted?
No. Just to talk. With Maddie, too.
You want to come?
I can't. I need to see my parents.
They want to discuss my mom's treatment with the stem cells.
- My cells. - Yeah.
She needs more?
Think that's what they want to talk about.
But we're done with that.
I'm not putting you through that again.
Ben, maybe you will see Maddie later.
I think it's best if we give each other some space.
I'll-I'll give you a ride.
I will walk. I see you for dinner tonight.
He moved the necklace.
Physically moved it.
I'm telling you, he was there.
Down in the echo chamber, we heard those voices.
You said they were your ancestors.
Yes.
So maybe some form of spirits do exist?
When we die, we go to a different place.
A spirit realm.
And they can visit the living?
They are everywhere.
The ocean is full of spirits.
What do you think Sarge wanted?
He has something to tell you.
Maybe it's that he misses you.
I miss him, too.
Oh. I'm so sorry.
Oh, uh, Ben, uh, come in.
Obviously you know Commander Kyle.
Hello, Ben.
What's going on?
Commander's been filling us in on your mom's progress.
I wanted you to be a part of this.
And I know that your mother's medical care
means a great deal to you.
They're suggesting we continue
the treatments, at an increased dosage.
Given the results we're seeing,
it's a decision that we're comfortable with.
You have enough stem cells?
Well, we've depleted the initial batch.
But we've managed to secure a new source.
It's amazing.
Well, if your progress continues, and I expect it will,
it would be a groundbreaking advance for medical science.
Obviously, I want this for myself,
but the thought of helping others...
Yeah.
Well, let us know when you need us.
Well, I certainly appreciate your cooperation.
I know you're worried about me getting my hopes up.
But we've always said, one day at a time.
And today is a good day. Positivity.
In fact, we're all going to lunch.
I'm going to have Roberta get us a table at The Reef.
The Reef? Sounds good.
Listen, there's something else I need to talk to you about.
What?
That Klesco video,
girl in the water at that depth she couldn't be.
It's been getting in my head.
Okay, all set.
And Doug is going to meet us there.
I owe Beth a call, see if she's patched things up with Bryan.
I'll be back.
You still angry with Ben?
I'm just struggling with what he did.
He did it to help.
I know.
It just...
It feels...
It feels different now.
I still love Ben,
and I love you.
I'm just struggling.
Human relationships are complicated.
Yes. Very.
Ryn, what's going on?
She is one.
From another tribe.
Not mine.
I've come a very long way to see you.
I know you were being held by the humans.
In the facility.
I went there to try to find you.
You were their experiment;
their test subject.
Beth hasn't heard from Bryan or the others, they've...
Who's this?
She's from another tribe.
Friend or foe?
Not clear.
You have our blood.
I do. One-eighth to be exact.
How did you know about me?
Because I was a captive, too.
I've been held by the Russian government for the past ten years.
_
What are you doing down there?
What you need?
You working The Anchor tonight?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've been covering a lot of shifts ever since
Janine went all in on the whole
Mermaid Adventure Tour business.
Dude, you have no idea how good it's going.
We're already bringing money in. It's amazing being the boss.
I thought Janine was the boss.
Yeah, technically, you know.
But I'm whatever is right underneath the boss, you know?
That'd be an employee.
Yeah.
Listen, I need your help, okay?
I need everyone we know in town to be at the bar tonight.
Got something big to announce.
Make some calls, okay?
I'll see what I can do, but...
Are you gonna give me any information? Nothing? Nothing?
What's your name?
They called me Vodnyy Zver.
It means sea monster.
Now that you're free, you could choose any name you like.
There was a powerful and vengeful sea goddess,
Tiamat, a creator of the oceans.
I read stories of her.
I will call myself Tia.
Lovely.
So you can read?
They taught me well.
Seven languages.
Science, engineering, technology, human history.
I learned it all.
They also taught me to fight.
They wanted to turn me into a warrior.
You were already a warrior.
As are you.
How'd they catch you in the first place?
I was injured in the ocean.
Ga'anda.
What is it?
A predator... serpent's body, with tentacles, sharp teeth.
Like a giant squid?
The Ga'anda is not in your books.
It has taken many of us.
I tried to fight it, and paid the price.
They left you after that.
In my colony, if you fight, you must win.
I accepted my fate.
I wandered the ocean alone, trying to survive.
Then the research boat caught me, and it all changed.
They tortured me.
Tried to bend me to their will.
I overheard reports that the U.S. Military was holding another.
I wanted to know if it was one of mine.
I escaped and came here.
I am not from your tribe.
I see that.
We have to let go of the old ways.
If our species is going to survive, we must be unified.
I'd like to be alone with Ryn. A walk.
- Ryn, are you... - Okay. Yes.
You and the human are very close.
I saw you hugging her.
Maddie. Yes.
You've been building their trust.
Is that why you came to land?
For humans?
I was hunting too close to the surface.
My sister came after me.
She was caught in a net.
So I came onto land to find her.
Where was she?
She was in a lab.
Then killed.
By humans?
This is your car?
Humans need to possess things. We don't.
Get in.
You are a good driver.
They taught me many things.
I wasn't being held by the humans, I chose to stay.
I wanted to learn, become stronger.
Isn't that why you agreed to the testing?
I did it to help Ben.
Ben?
He was in trouble, locked in a cage.
So I did this to get him out.
You're close to him, too.
Ben is good, a friend of our kind.
He let a man die to protect our secret.
Something wrong?
Your clearance has been revoked.
Look, I need to speak to Commander Kyle.
It's important.
Like I said, your clearance...
It's about the test subject.
I had a feeling you might come to see me.
That why you locked me out?
You stole those embryos, Ben. You're a security risk.
How'd that work out for you?
Is Ryn pregnant?
You should've worked with us.
Big mistake.
Look, maybe we still can.
I mean, we both seem to agree about my mom's treatment.
Mm. You want to know where we got the new stem cells.
That is why you're here, right?
Well, we extracted them from Ryn's sister.
- After you dug up her grave? - I had no choice.
Ryn's not been volunteering any of her
own cells after the last procedure.
Can't say I blame her. I mean, she reacted
pretty badly to it the first time.
Well, we needed another source.
And we had one lying right here in our lab.
Stem cells in marrow are only viable two weeks after death.
In a human body, mm-hmm.
Look, Ben, while Ryn's sister has been helpful,
what I really want is a live specimen.
Well, you know I can't promise that.
Hmm.
Ryn does what she wants.
You say humans possess things, but so do we.
We have territories in the water.
Not anymore.
No more borders, Ryn.
Beautiful, isn't it?
The greatest human achievement,
and it's been almost 200 years.
What have they done since?
It's only been destruction.
I need to get to my shift. If Ryn needs anything...
I'll call you.
I'm not really sure how to do this.
You visited me last night.
In your favorite spot by my window.
I'd love to see you again.
Please.
Can you give me a sign?
Anything.
So I know that you're here.
Hello?
Hey, it's Ben. Is Ryn there?
They're ruining the oceans.
We create balance,
only take what we need.
We don't kill for sport.
We don't pollute.
We are the most evolved species on the planet.
We're more intelligent, more adaptive, stronger.
We were put here to protect the earth.
That responsibility cannot be left in the hands of humans.
What will you do?
First, I must go back to my
tribe, be their leader again.
Then I can work with your colony...
And all colonies, to ensure we are healthy.
Not so many of us now.
Less food.
No babies.
We can share our resources,
focus our efforts on cleansing the oceans,
re-building our food supply, not fighting each other.
We can restore balance on Earth.
You going to The Anchor tonight?
Some Calvin-Janine related activity.
Yeah, I got a super vague text from Xander about it.
Are you gonna go?
Uh, no, I got my book club tonight.
What're you reading, Jer?
Eat, Pray, Love.
_
You said you heard about Ryn from an intelligence report?
Yes.
Did they tell you the source of the leak?
Why does that matter?
It came from inside the facility.
Some woman, I think.
What if it was Nicole?
And that's why she disappeared.
_
Look, we need to be careful.
Kyle doesn't trust us anymore,
and he's getting more aggressive.
If he comes after you,
I don't want you getting involved on any level.
No more contact.
But he's helping your mother.
He took your sister's cells for that.
Look, he's doing what he wants.
It's too dangerous.
Your sister should be buried in the ocean,
not picked apart in some lab.
You should do something about it.
I fought the Ga'anda, I lost everything.
There were consequences.
This human needs consequences.
No. Look, now is not the time to take on the military.
We need to be smart about this.
Amen to that.
_
Hey, hey. You called everyone?
Yeah, yeah. Even my mom's here.
You gonna tell us what this is about?
Soon, my friend.
Ben?
Hey.
Uh, I wasn't sure if you'd be here.
I would've... I would've called,
but I think I left my phone at Helen's.
I know your side of it, why you did it.
I've been trying to wrap my head around it.
You were under the water, it was a split-second decision.
Maybe you weren't thinking clearly.
Still, I-I can't get there.
Okay.
So what does this mean?
I don't know.
Damn it, Calvin, was it you?!
- Was what me? - The cash box is empty.
- All the money from our tours. - I can explain that, babe.
You are literally the worst person to be in business with.
The worst? Janine!
Xander, turn off that music!
Everyone, shut up!
What, Calvin?
It was me. I took it.
But it was for a good cause.
This is why I wanted everyone here tonight.
I love you, Janine.
I love how smart you are, how you always take care of me,
how you're the most loyal person I know.
This isn't helping.
Just please, stick with me.
I love how you cry
at those pet food commercials with the lost dog,
I love your mac and cheese,
I love your smell,
I love how you scrunch your nose when you're angry at me,
I love the curve on your lower back,
and I love how you...
We'll keep that one private.
Look, I thought about it real hard, okay?
And there is nothing I don't love about you.
I want to spend forever with you.
I want to grow old with you.
I know I'm not perfect,
but I'll never stop loving you.
My Neeny, my queen...
Ooh!
Will you marry me?
Oh, hell yeah!
Oh, yeah!
What is marry me?
When two people love each other, and they...
They want to be together forever, they get married.
With a ring?
The ring is like a symbol of the marriage.
Did Ben ever give you a ring?
Dad.
Everything okay?
Should probably say yeah.
It's been a strange time.
Been thinking a lot lately about the night of the accident.
Well, that makes sense.
I mean, Mom's doing better.
I'm sure it's bringing up a lot of stuff.
It's not just that.
The girl in that video,
at a depth she couldn't be.
When I dove in to save your mother,
that was the same thing...
A girl in the water, in a place she couldn't possibly be.
Got the Coast Guard report from that night,
hoping there was something in here.
So many damn questions.
Are you okay?
I don't know. I never feel this before.
Breathe.
We have a problem.
The baby is growing much faster than expected.
It's depleting her.
It's like she's already six months pregnant.
A mermaid baby isn't compatible with a human body.
