1. Jules Verne once wrote,
Copy !req
2. "Put two ships in the open sea
Copy !req
3. without wind or tide,
they will come together."
Copy !req
4. That's how my parents met.
Like two ships destined for each other.
Copy !req
5. We are something else.
Try Arthur Treacher...
Copy !req
6. It's okay.
Copy !req
7. Easy. You weren't breathing.
Copy !req
8. They were from different worlds.
Copy !req
9. But life, like the sea,
has a way of bringing people together.
Copy !req
10. I was gonna make you some eggs.
Copy !req
11. Just don't eat my dog, okay?
Copy !req
12. It's okay.
Copy !req
13. I made tea.
Copy !req
14. Go on, try it.
Copy !req
15. It'll make you better.
Copy !req
16. So, uh, who are you?
Copy !req
17. Atlanna.
Copy !req
18. Queen of Atlantis.
Copy !req
19. I'm Tom. Keeper of lighthouse.
Copy !req
20. She had fled
an arranged marriage.
Copy !req
21. Left her whole world behind.
Copy !req
22. But in my father's lighthouse,
she found something unexpected.
Copy !req
23. And my father
found the love of his life.
Copy !req
24. Category 4 Hurricane Arthur
Copy !req
25. is due to make landfall
sometime after 2:00 p.m.
Copy !req
26. How about Arthur?
Copy !req
27. After the hurricane?
Copy !req
28. After a legend. He's a king, isn't he?
Copy !req
29. He's more than that.
Copy !req
30. He's living proof
our people can coexist.
Copy !req
31. He could unite our worlds one day.
Copy !req
32. And the trident could only
be wielded by the strongest Atlantean.
Copy !req
33. And it gave King Atlan mastery
over the seven seas.
Copy !req
34. It made him so powerful
that the ocean itself became jealous
Copy !req
35. and sent a terrible earthquake
to destroy Atlantis.
Copy !req
36. Down it fell,
to the bottom of the ocean.
Copy !req
37. But, legend has it
that one day a new king will come
Copy !req
38. who will use the power of the trident
Copy !req
39. to put Atlantis back together again.
Copy !req
40. Take him!
Copy !req
41. Queen Atlanna,
Copy !req
42. by the authority of King Orvax,
you are ordered to return to Atlantis.
Copy !req
43. Atlanna!
Copy !req
44. But Atlantis' memory is long...
Copy !req
45. And its king refused to let her go.
Copy !req
46. - Atlanna!
- Tom!
Copy !req
47. - My weapon!
- Here!
Copy !req
48. Their two worlds
were never meant to meet,
Copy !req
49. and I was a product of a love
that never should've been.
Copy !req
50. You don't have to do this, Atlanna.
Please.
Copy !req
51. No. They will always find me.
Copy !req
52. Next time, they'll send an army.
Copy !req
53. I have to go back.
It is the only way to save him.
Copy !req
54. Save you.
Copy !req
55. Where I come from...
Copy !req
56. The sea carries our tears away.
Copy !req
57. Not here.
Copy !req
58. Here you feel them.
Copy !req
59. I will return to you. When it's safe.
Copy !req
60. One day.
Copy !req
61. Right here, at sunrise.
Copy !req
62. We'll be together again.
Copy !req
63. You stay strong, my little prince.
Copy !req
64. I'll always be with you.
Copy !req
65. Don't let him forget me. Hmm?
Copy !req
66. All life came from the sea,
so if we want to understand ourselves,
Copy !req
67. we must journey to where we began.
Copy !req
68. Now, today, we have better maps of Mars
than we do of our own sea floor.
Copy !req
69. Come on, closer. Come on, fishy.
Copy !req
70. - Come on. Come over here.
- Boys!
Copy !req
71. Stop that. Come on.
Copy !req
72. Come along.
Copy !req
73. Bye, fishy. Bye.
Copy !req
74. My name's Arthur. What's yours?
Copy !req
75. - You guys hungry? Me, too.
- Check it out.
Copy !req
76. Arthur is talking to the fish.
Copy !req
77. Such a freak, Arthur.
Copy !req
78. - Stop!
- What are you gonna do about it, freak?
Copy !req
79. Stop it! Don't!
Copy !req
80. Let me go!
Copy !req
81. Who are you?
Copy !req
82. Come on, let's go. Move it.
Copy !req
83. Come on. Hurry up.
Copy !req
84. Sir, we've secured the captain.
Copy !req
85. Distress signal's disabled.
Copy !req
86. We're running dark again.
Copy !req
87. But they heard it. You can count on it.
Copy !req
88. I'll make you a deal.
I won't tell you how to captain...
Copy !req
89. And you don't tell me how to pirate.
Copy !req
90. Where's the rest of the crew?
Copy !req
91. Decided discretion
was the better part of valor
Copy !req
92. and sealed themselves up
in the torpedo bay.
Copy !req
93. Our reputation precedes us.
Copy !req
94. Your reputation.
Copy !req
95. This is your win.
Copy !req
96. Here.
Copy !req
97. Can't take that piece of junk.
Copy !req
98. It's the love of your life.
Copy !req
99. I never told you the story behind it.
Copy !req
100. This was your grandfather's.
Copy !req
101. He was one of the Navy's first frogmen
during World War II.
Copy !req
102. He was so stealthy in the water,
his unit nicknamed him Manta.
Copy !req
103. But after the war,
his country forgot about him.
Copy !req
104. So, he went back to the sea,
scavenging and surviving with his wit...
Copy !req
105. And this knife.
Copy !req
106. He gave it to me when I was your age.
Copy !req
107. And now it's yours, son.
Copy !req
108. Did we just hit something?
Copy !req
109. No. Something hit us.
Copy !req
110. Sir, there's something out there.
Copy !req
111. Another submarine?
Copy !req
112. Uh... No. I think it's a man.
Copy !req
113. That's not a man.
Copy !req
114. Alpha, to the right.
Bravo team, sweep the passageway.
Copy !req
115. Permission to come aboard?
Copy !req
116. Aquaman!
Copy !req
117. I've waited
a long time for this.
Copy !req
118. Am I supposed to know who you are?
Copy !req
119. I scavenge the high seas.
Copy !req
120. You're the Aquaman.
Copy !req
121. We were bound to meet at some point.
Copy !req
122. Let's not make it a habit.
Copy !req
123. Up.
Copy !req
124. Dad!
Copy !req
125. Dad? Ow.
Copy !req
126. That's your kid?
Copy !req
127. Shame on you.
Copy !req
128. Boys got yourselves
into this mess.
Copy !req
129. Get yourselves out of it.
Copy !req
130. Bastard!
Copy !req
131. Dad!
Copy !req
132. Dad!
Copy !req
133. Wait!
Copy !req
134. Help me! He's trapped!
Copy !req
135. You can't leave him like this!
Copy !req
136. Please!
Copy !req
137. You killed innocent people.
You ask the sea for mercy.
Copy !req
138. Get outta here! I got this!
Copy !req
139. Shut up, I'm not leaving you!
Copy !req
140. You need to live,
so you can kill that son of a bitch!
Copy !req
141. - Now, go!
- No!
Copy !req
142. - Go!
- Shut up!
Copy !req
143. No!
Copy !req
144. No!
Copy !req
145. Damn you!
Copy !req
146. Go.
Copy !req
147. I always know where to find you.
Copy !req
148. Old habits.
Copy !req
149. - Come on, I'll buy you breakfast.
- All right!
Copy !req
150. You want me to have them
put that in a sippy cup for you?
Copy !req
151. How is it that I can breathe underwater,
Copy !req
152. but you can still drink me
under the table?
Copy !req
153. That's my superpower.
Copy !req
154. A Russian submarine
Copy !req
155. hijacked late last night
by high-tech pirates.
Copy !req
156. The same pirates who are suspected
Copy !req
157. in connection with the disappearance
of the Navy's highly classified
Copy !req
158. prototype stealth submarine.
Copy !req
159. And a further development,
we now have unconfirmed reports
Copy !req
160. that the metahuman dubbed
by social media as "The Aquaman"
Copy !req
161. was responsible for this daring rescue.
Copy !req
162. That's not me.
Copy !req
163. Bullshit. You're doing it,
aren't you? Huh?
Copy !req
164. What Vulko trained you to do.
Copy !req
165. I knew you couldn't
stand on the sidelines forever.
Copy !req
166. Your mother
always knew you were special.
Copy !req
167. Don't even start.
Copy !req
168. She believed you'd be the one
to unite our two worlds.
Copy !req
169. Just stop.
Copy !req
170. Whatever Atlantis' problems are,
you're bigger than them.
Copy !req
171. Atlantis murdered my mother.
Copy !req
172. You don't know that for sure.
Copy !req
173. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
174. They killed her.
For loving you and having me.
Copy !req
175. And you know it.
Copy !req
176. Son, one day you're gonna
have to stop blaming yourself.
Copy !req
177. Hey, buddy.
Copy !req
178. You that fish boy from the TV?
Copy !req
179. Oh, great.
Copy !req
180. It's "fish man." What do you want?
Copy !req
181. I'll tell you what I want.
Copy !req
182. Could we get a picture with you?
Copy !req
183. You're like our local hero, man.
Copy !req
184. It would mean a lot. Just a quick...
Copy !req
185. Whatever.
Copy !req
186. - All right. Let's do this.
- Don't touch me.
Copy !req
187. Right, that's exactly right.
I'm gonna go down here.
Copy !req
188. There we go. Everybody smile.
Copy !req
189. He understands the significance
of this meeting.
Copy !req
190. He'll hear you out.
Copy !req
191. - King Orm.
- King Nereus.
Copy !req
192. You picked a meeting place
too close to the surface for my liking.
Copy !req
193. You don't recognize
the Council of the Kings?
Copy !req
194. In Atlan's time,
when the Seven Kingdoms were one,
Copy !req
195. our ancestors gathered here.
Copy !req
196. Atlantis sat here
at the head of the table.
Copy !req
197. Xebel, as always, by his side.
Copy !req
198. Brine. Fishermen.
Copy !req
199. The Deserters and the Trench
had not yet fallen.
Copy !req
200. The Lost Nation had not yet vanished.
Copy !req
201. Together, they were the greatest empire
the world had ever seen.
Copy !req
202. But now, I sit on Atlan's throne,
shackled by archaic laws and politics.
Copy !req
203. While the threat above us
grows undeniably—
Copy !req
204. Violence has always plagued the surface.
Copy !req
205. They will destroy themselves.
Copy !req
206. Not before destroying us first.
Copy !req
207. We have been hiding long enough.
Copy !req
208. The time has come
for Atlantis to rise again.
Copy !req
209. We honor you, King Nereus,
Copy !req
210. by inviting Xebel
to be the first kingdom
Copy !req
211. to join King Orm's alliance.
Copy !req
212. As if you had a choice, Vulko.
Copy !req
213. By law,
you need four of the Seven Kingdoms
Copy !req
214. to ascend and attack.
Copy !req
215. The Lost Nation and the Deserters
have long perished.
Copy !req
216. The Trench are nothing but animals.
Copy !req
217. The Brine will never join you,
and the Fishermen are cowards.
Copy !req
218. Without me and my army to convince them,
your plans are stillborn.
Copy !req
219. But I know what you really want.
Copy !req
220. Once you've obtained
the pledge of the four kingdoms,
Copy !req
221. you will be ordained
Copy !req
222. Ocean Master.
Copy !req
223. That is merely a title.
Copy !req
224. I'm no fool, King Orm.
Copy !req
225. As Ocean Master, you'll be commander
Copy !req
226. of the greatest military might
on this planet.
Copy !req
227. I am the natural choice to lead it.
Copy !req
228. Are you?
Copy !req
229. What about the rumors
that there's another?
Copy !req
230. An Atlantean, living among the surface.
Copy !req
231. One of royal blood.
Copy !req
232. You may sit on the throne of Atlantis,
but your claim to it is weak.
Copy !req
233. How can you possibly hope
to unite the empire?
Copy !req
234. My mother's bastard
has never even been to Atlantis.
Copy !req
235. His loyalty is to the surface.
Copy !req
236. Surface-dwellers! To arms!
Copy !req
237. Your king is injured!
Copy !req
238. I'm not trying to start a war.
Copy !req
239. The war has already begun.
Copy !req
240. Then it's time we send them
a message they'll hear.
Copy !req
241. - I'm good.
- Stop.
Copy !req
242. - Here're the keys.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
243. Let's go home
and work on your tā moko. Huh?
Copy !req
244. If your grandpops was still alive,
Copy !req
245. he'd be banging our heads
for not finishing it.
Copy !req
246. Yes, he would,
but there is plenty of time for that.
Copy !req
247. We gotta get you to bed.
Copy !req
248. Got it?
Copy !req
249. I've been looking for you.
Copy !req
250. Oh, no, no, no...
Copy !req
251. I need you to come with me to Atlantis.
Copy !req
252. Listen, I'm gonna
tell you the same thing
Copy !req
253. that I told that rusty starfish Vulko.
Copy !req
254. Except nicer, because you're a lady.
Copy !req
255. No, thank you. I'm not interested.
Copy !req
256. You defeated Steppenwolf
and saved Atlantis.
Copy !req
257. That had nothing to do with Atlantis.
Copy !req
258. Your half-brother King Orm is about
to declare war upon the surface world.
Copy !req
259. Billions will die.
Copy !req
260. Your people and mine.
Copy !req
261. We must stop him.
Copy !req
262. And how do you propose we do that?
Copy !req
263. You are
the firstborn son of Queen Atlanna.
Copy !req
264. The throne is yours by birthright.
Copy !req
265. The only way to stop this war
and save both worlds
Copy !req
266. is for you
to take your rightful place as king.
Copy !req
267. You think if I just show up,
Orm's gonna give up the throne?
Copy !req
268. I'm the bastard son of the queen
your people executed.
Copy !req
269. Trust me. I am no king.
Copy !req
270. I agree.
Copy !req
271. That's awesome. Cool.
Copy !req
272. But, Vulko seems to
believe in you for some reason,
Copy !req
273. and that's why I'm here.
Copy !req
274. Vulko has learned of the location
of the Lost Trident of Atlan.
Copy !req
275. Ooh, fairy tales. It's a myth.
Copy !req
276. It's not a myth.
Copy !req
277. With the Sacred Trident,
the people will listen to you.
Copy !req
278. You can then claim your birthright
and dethrone Orm.
Copy !req
279. My birthright? It died with my mother.
Copy !req
280. But I promise you this. If Orm attacks,
Copy !req
281. I will treat him exactly the same way
your people treated her.
Copy !req
282. With no mercy.
Copy !req
283. That submarine was barely operational,
but it served its purpose.
Copy !req
284. One of your kind intervened.
Copy !req
285. He is not one of us.
Copy !req
286. He killed my father.
Copy !req
287. Our transaction has ended.
Copy !req
288. Keep the money. I want Aquaman.
Copy !req
289. Dad!
Copy !req
290. Dad!
Copy !req
291. Dad!
Copy !req
292. Pops!
Copy !req
293. Pops!
Copy !req
294. Come on, Pops.
Copy !req
295. Come on! He's not breathing.
Copy !req
296. Move! Let me help.
Copy !req
297. Come on, Pops.
Copy !req
298. Come on.
Copy !req
299. I don't even know your name.
Copy !req
300. It's Princess Y'Mera Xebella Challa.
Copy !req
301. You may call me Mera.
Copy !req
302. Thank you, Mera.
Copy !req
303. Dear God.
Copy !req
304. This was Orm's doing.
Copy !req
305. The worst is yet to come.
Copy !req
306. There's a flash flood warning here
Copy !req
307. that was just extended
for a couple hours.
Copy !req
308. Unprecedented sights
from all over the world today.
Copy !req
309. We are seeing warships
and trash washed up by massive waves.
Copy !req
310. These extraordinary scenes
of coastlines deluged with waste
Copy !req
311. and garbage are taking place
all over the world.
Copy !req
312. Decades of pollution
has been thrown back onto land.
Copy !req
313. Many are asking the question,
Copy !req
314. "Was this a natural disaster
or something else?"
Copy !req
315. No. This was no natural disaster.
Copy !req
316. They threw out our garbage
and our warships.
Copy !req
317. This was our first contact
with the people of Atlantis.
Copy !req
318. There you go again
with your insane Atlantean theory.
Copy !req
319. You have absolutely no proof, Dr. Shin.
Copy !req
320. Open your eyes.
Copy !req
321. We already have
an Atlantean living among us,
Copy !req
322. and his name is Aquaman.
Copy !req
323. What is it?
Copy !req
324. This is the exact spot that
Vulko gave me my first swimming lesson.
Copy !req
325. You have to forget
all the teaching of the surface world
Copy !req
326. and go deeper to uncover
your Atlantean instincts.
Copy !req
327. But I already know how to swim.
Copy !req
328. Not even close.
Copy !req
329. Just so we're clear,
Copy !req
330. I'll help you stop this war.
Copy !req
331. But then, I'm done.
Copy !req
332. Maybe that's for the best.
Copy !req
333. The ocean is more than
our life source, Arthur.
Copy !req
334. It is who we are.
Copy !req
335. Wait, you can talk underwater?
Copy !req
336. I can talk underwater, too!
Copy !req
337. This is awesome!
Copy !req
338. Oh, we can do more than just talk.
Copy !req
339. Being Atlantean means more than
just being able to breathe water.
Copy !req
340. Your body is equipped to survive
the extreme cold and pressure,
Copy !req
341. and your eyes adjust to see in the dark.
Copy !req
342. This is awesome!
Copy !req
343. So, Vulko, when can I meet my mother?
Copy !req
344. Soon, my young prince.
Copy !req
345. When you're ready, I'll take you
to Atlantis to meet the queen.
Copy !req
346. I hid my ship in here.
Copy !req
347. Listen,
I'm not getting in that thing.
Copy !req
348. Well, to get where we're going,
you're gonna have to.
Copy !req
349. Your fish ship
has been marinating in chum butter.
Copy !req
350. I'm gonna come out
smelling like swamp butt.
Copy !req
351. That'd be an improvement.
Copy !req
352. Yup. Okay.
Copy !req
353. What's the point in
having a bridge underwater?
Copy !req
354. The Gateway Bridge is a remnant
of the Old World.
Copy !req
355. It's also the only way in or out
of the Capital.
Copy !req
356. Why can't they just go over the walls?
Copy !req
357. Security is impenetrable.
Copy !req
358. Even if they did
manage to evade the guards,
Copy !req
359. they'd never get past the hydro-cannons.
Copy !req
360. People try to sneak in all the time.
Copy !req
361. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
362. What is this?
Copy !req
363. Customs and border control.
Copy !req
364. Don't worry.
I have diplomatic clearance.
Copy !req
365. Welcome home.
Copy !req
366. There's a safe house
down in the Old City.
Copy !req
367. The Highborns
never venture to the sea floor.
Copy !req
368. We're here.
Copy !req
369. What is this?
Copy !req
370. We use this air pocket
as an extra layer of precaution.
Copy !req
371. Only the Highborns can breathe water
as well as air.
Copy !req
372. Plus, it keeps the animals out.
Copy !req
373. They get kind of messy.
Copy !req
374. Vulko. Here I am, old man.
Copy !req
375. After all these years,
you finally get what you wanted.
Copy !req
376. Arthur, I wish it was
under better circumstances.
Copy !req
377. I can't believe Orm attacked.
Copy !req
378. It wasn't an attack.
Copy !req
379. Legally, he's not allowed to yet.
Copy !req
380. What he did to your surface warships
was merely a warning.
Copy !req
381. What provoked it?
Copy !req
382. King Orm and your father
were ambushed by the surface.
Copy !req
383. By the surface? I don't think so.
Copy !req
384. They still think
Atlantis is a fairy tale.
Copy !req
385. I was there.
Copy !req
386. A surface warship fired at us.
Copy !req
387. Now, Xebel sides with Atlantis,
Copy !req
388. giving Orm a fleet big enough to force
the other two kingdoms to join him.
Copy !req
389. If we're going to prevent this war,
you must dethrone him now.
Copy !req
390. How many times do I have to tell you?
I don't wanna be king.
Copy !req
391. You don't understand.
Copy !req
392. Once he is named Ocean Master,
it'll be too late.
Copy !req
393. The power at his disposal will be
unlike anything you have ever seen.
Copy !req
394. I'm from the surface.
No one is gonna take me seriously.
Copy !req
395. Okay? I don't even know where to begin.
Copy !req
396. By winning
the hearts and minds of the people
Copy !req
397. by proving to them that you're worthy,
and retrieving this.
Copy !req
398. I already got one of those.
Copy !req
399. Not like this one, you don't.
Copy !req
400. This is the Lost Trident of Atlan.
Copy !req
401. Oh, I know the story.
Copy !req
402. It's more than a story. It's real.
Copy !req
403. It was forged by
the greatest weapon masters in history.
Copy !req
404. Crafted from Poseidon's steel
for King Atlan,
Copy !req
405. the first ruler of Atlantis.
Copy !req
406. Legend says the trident was imbued
with the power to command the sea.
Copy !req
407. So what happened to it?
Copy !req
408. To know that is to go back to the time
before the Great Fall,
Copy !req
409. when King Atlan ruled over all that was,
Copy !req
410. when the kingdoms of Atlantis were one.
Copy !req
411. It was a time of great prosperity
and technological advancement.
Copy !req
412. We had unlocked
the secret of unlimited energy
Copy !req
413. at a time when the rest of the world
still thought the earth was flat.
Copy !req
414. But we became too ambitious,
Copy !req
415. too hungry for power.
Copy !req
416. The ocean swallowed us,
and Atlantis sank.
Copy !req
417. But the very power
that collapsed our civilization
Copy !req
418. also paved the way to our future.
Copy !req
419. It gave us the ability
to breathe underwater.
Copy !req
420. And so, we evolved.
Copy !req
421. Others regressed, became savage.
Copy !req
422. And the king lived out the remainder
of his days in self-imposed exile.
Copy !req
423. Neither he nor the trident
were ever seen again.
Copy !req
424. One of our archeological teams
uncovered this a few months ago.
Copy !req
425. It's an ancient recording
dating back to the First Dynasty.
Copy !req
426. I believe it contains
Atlan's final message to his people
Copy !req
427. and the whereabouts
of the Sacred Trident.
Copy !req
428. So, what does it say?
Copy !req
429. We don't know. The technology's too old.
Copy !req
430. The cylinder bears the markings
of the Deserter Kingdom.
Copy !req
431. You must take it there
and retrieve the message.
Copy !req
432. The clue to Atlan's final resting place
is inside of this.
Copy !req
433. Border Defense.
You are under arrest for illegal entry.
Copy !req
434. No!
Copy !req
435. You mustn't be seen here!
Copy !req
436. I don't suppose
you want to talk about this, do you?
Copy !req
437. Neither do I.
Copy !req
438. In the name of His Highness, King Orm,
I place you under arrest.
Copy !req
439. Welcome to Atlantis...
Copy !req
440. Brother.
Copy !req
441. I can't believe you're finally here.
Copy !req
442. I've heard so many stories about you.
Copy !req
443. All these years,
I've been ashamed of my mother
Copy !req
444. for defiling herself
with a surface-dweller.
Copy !req
445. Ashamed of the fact that I have
a half-breed brother
Copy !req
446. whose heart
I wanted to run my trident through.
Copy !req
447. But now that you're finally here
before me, I must admit...
Copy !req
448. I am conflicted.
Copy !req
449. You want conflict, why don't you take
these chains off, little brother?
Copy !req
450. And we'll see who gets run through.
Copy !req
451. Yes, I see you've brought
our mother's weapon.
Copy !req
452. Is that why you've come here
after all this time?
Copy !req
453. To kill me?
Copy !req
454. I came here to stop a maniac
from destroying the world.
Copy !req
455. I see.
Copy !req
456. And how do you plan
to stop the atrocities
Copy !req
457. that the surface continues to commit?
Copy !req
458. Because for a century,
they have polluted our waters
Copy !req
459. and poisoned our children.
Copy !req
460. And now, their skies burn
and our oceans boil.
Copy !req
461. And you've come all this way
to take sides against your own people?
Copy !req
462. There are no sides in a war like this.
Copy !req
463. You have clearly chosen a side
and come here to challenge the throne.
Copy !req
464. If that's what it takes
to stop your war.
Copy !req
465. Are you invoking
the Combat of the Kings?
Copy !req
466. Call it whatever you want.
I call it an ass-whooping.
Copy !req
467. Well then,
perhaps that's how we'll proceed.
Copy !req
468. - Your Majesty!
- Orm, please.
Copy !req
469. Don't you see?
Copy !req
470. If I defeat the firstborn son of Atlanna
Copy !req
471. in a formal challenge
in front of everyone,
Copy !req
472. then all Seven Kingdoms will have to
concede that I am the one true king.
Copy !req
473. Your Majesty, there is no victory
in defeating the ignorant.
Copy !req
474. Your brother is clearly an imbecile.
Copy !req
475. Your Highness, he doesn't know our ways.
Copy !req
476. Then he's about to get an education.
Copy !req
477. Are you officially challenging me?
Copy !req
478. Hell yes, I challenge you.
And when I win—
Copy !req
479. If you win,
Copy !req
480. I will cease all immediate action.
The war is over.
Copy !req
481. But if I win...
Copy !req
482. You're over.
Copy !req
483. Let's do it.
Copy !req
484. So be it.
Copy !req
485. Challenge has been made, and I accept.
Copy !req
486. Prepare him for the Ring of Fire.
Copy !req
487. Wait. The ring of what?
Copy !req
488. How could you be so foolish
to let Orm bait you into a fight?
Copy !req
489. It seems to me
like I just solved all of our problems.
Copy !req
490. I beat him in a battle, war's over,
I get to go home.
Copy !req
491. You're a formidable fighter on land,
Copy !req
492. but here
you're out of your element, literally.
Copy !req
493. Orm has spent
his entire life underwater,
Copy !req
494. training to be a warrior,
training to be the best.
Copy !req
495. You taught me how to fight, Cobra Kai.
Copy !req
496. Let's see if you remember anything.
Copy !req
497. So, what's with the big fork?
Copy !req
498. It's a trident. Now, defend yourself.
Copy !req
499. What the hell is this?
Copy !req
500. I'll teach you this move
when you've mastered the trident.
Copy !req
501. It's not fair.
Copy !req
502. This thing is so big and awkward.
Why can't I use a sword?
Copy !req
503. That's your mother's trident.
A traditional weapon of royalty.
Copy !req
504. You'll never be a king
until you've mastered it.
Copy !req
505. Why has she never come to see me, huh?
Copy !req
506. I told you, when you're ready—
Copy !req
507. Stop lying to me!
I've done everything you ever asked.
Copy !req
508. And every time I pass a test,
you make up another one.
Copy !req
509. When am I gonna be good enough?
Copy !req
510. Does she not love me?
Copy !req
511. Your mother loved you
more than anything in the world.
Copy !req
512. But she had to return to Atlantis
to keep you safe.
Copy !req
513. Her marriage to King Orvax
was arranged a long time ago,
Copy !req
514. so she had to marry him...
Copy !req
515. And bear him a son, Prince Orm.
Copy !req
516. When Orvax
eventually found out about you,
Copy !req
517. he became overwhelmed with jealousy
Copy !req
518. and sacrificed her
to the creatures of the Trench.
Copy !req
519. Are you saying they executed her?
Copy !req
520. Because she had me?
Copy !req
521. I remember...
Copy !req
522. Everything.
Copy !req
523. I have something for you.
Copy !req
524. It belonged to my mother.
Copy !req
525. Tell me...
Copy !req
526. Do you think she would have enjoyed
watching her sons murder each other?
Copy !req
527. I understand your fear
and your reluctance, Mera.
Copy !req
528. I truly do. I don't want war—
Copy !req
529. Don't patronize me!
Copy !req
530. I know you.
Copy !req
531. What you're doing
flies in the face of everything
Copy !req
532. that your mother taught us
when we were children.
Copy !req
533. If she were here—
Copy !req
534. But she's not here, is she?
Copy !req
535. What my mother taught us was treason.
Copy !req
536. Don't follow in her wake.
Copy !req
537. All right! So, this is
the big, old ring of fire, huh?
Copy !req
538. How's it work?
I just kick your ass right here?
Copy !req
539. Vulko.
Copy !req
540. Will you escort my betrothed
to the royal box?
Copy !req
541. Let's go, Lady Mera.
Copy !req
542. Down here, we have a legend
about the Karathen,
Copy !req
543. an ancient sea monster so powerful
that even King Atlan himself feared it.
Copy !req
544. So, he imprisoned it
in the depths of the ocean.
Copy !req
545. And in that abyss, the creature
bides its time waiting to rise again.
Copy !req
546. Atlantis has been lying in wait...
Copy !req
547. And now, the beast has awakened.
Copy !req
548. There was a time when
I wanted to meet you more than anything.
Copy !req
549. Get to know my little brother.
Copy !req
550. Let him know that he wasn't alone,
that we were in it together.
Copy !req
551. If only I had known
what a dick you would turn out to be.
Copy !req
552. You were the reason
our mother was executed.
Copy !req
553. And I've hated you for it ever since.
Copy !req
554. But I do not want to kill you, Arthur.
Copy !req
555. I'm going to give you one chance.
Copy !req
556. Go home.
Copy !req
557. Do not ever come back to Atlantis.
Copy !req
558. You are not going to win this.
Copy !req
559. A war is coming to the surface
whether you like it or not.
Copy !req
560. And I am bringing
the wrath of the seven seas with me.
Copy !req
561. You know I can't let that happen.
Copy !req
562. I know.
Copy !req
563. What the hell is that?
Copy !req
564. The Ring of Fire.
Copy !req
565. Yeah!
Copy !req
566. Yeah!
Copy !req
567. Shit.
Copy !req
568. People of Atlantis, hear me!
Copy !req
569. My brother has come from the surface
to challenge me for the throne.
Copy !req
570. Let us settle his claim
in the ancient way.
Copy !req
571. By bloodshed do the gods
make known their will!
Copy !req
572. Traitor!
Copy !req
573. Traitor!
Copy !req
574. You'll never be king!
Copy !req
575. Never thought I'd see the day
when my own father
Copy !req
576. would bow before the king of Atlantis.
Copy !req
577. The surface-dwellers drew first blood.
What would you have us do?
Copy !req
578. Beg them for mercy?
Copy !req
579. I detest the surface as much as you do.
Copy !req
580. But don't you find the timing
of all of this a bit convenient?
Copy !req
581. But you wouldn't be that gullible,
would you?
Copy !req
582. You want this war too, don't you?
Copy !req
583. It is past time the surface-dwellers
learned their place in the world.
Copy !req
584. If this is how it must be done,
then so be it.
Copy !req
585. You have our mother's trident.
Copy !req
586. Powerful, but flawed like her.
Copy !req
587. I wield my father's.
Copy !req
588. And it has never known defeat!
Copy !req
589. I promised Atlanna I'd protect him.
Copy !req
590. This isn't a competition.
It's an execution.
Copy !req
591. I am the one true king!
Copy !req
592. You waiting for an invitation? Get in!
Copy !req
593. Mera!
Copy !req
594. Oh, yeah. So, what's the plan?
Copy !req
595. The plan was to recover Atlan's trident,
then challenge Orm.
Copy !req
596. Okay, so we're doing things
a little out of order.
Copy !req
597. Shit happens.
Copy !req
598. Heads up! We got a bogey on our six!
Copy !req
599. - What does that even mean?
- Bad guys behind us.
Copy !req
600. - Then just say that!
- Bad guys behind us!
Copy !req
601. Whoa, whoa, wait, you said
we couldn't go over these walls.
Copy !req
602. - I did!
- You said there were hydro-cannons!
Copy !req
603. I did, now shut up!
Copy !req
604. Oh, shit!
Copy !req
605. Shit!
Copy !req
606. Shit.
Copy !req
607. We're not dead yet!
But I'm hoping he'll think we are.
Copy !req
608. Here, hold this.
Copy !req
609. What are you doing?
Copy !req
610. - Listen, it worked for Pinocchio.
- Who?
Copy !req
611. Never mind. Come here, get in. Come on.
Copy !req
612. Great. So we're getting eaten.
Copy !req
613. How are you even doing this, anyway?
Copy !req
614. I don't know.
Copy !req
615. I can hear them sometimes,
and they can hear me.
Copy !req
616. Right. Because you're both big,
dumb animals.
Copy !req
617. - Hey, I just saved your life.
- I saved yours first!
Copy !req
618. She said, "Coast is clear."
Copy !req
619. So, where to now?
Copy !req
620. To the ocean of sand
your people call the Sahara.
Copy !req
621. All right.
Copy !req
622. I don't usually take charters,
Copy !req
623. but I don't usually get paid
in pirate treasure.
Copy !req
624. Thanks for the ride, buddy.
Copy !req
625. Oh, man.
Copy !req
626. Are you okay?
Copy !req
627. I've never been so high up before.
Copy !req
628. Or so far from home.
Copy !req
629. But at least you have a home.
Copy !req
630. Not anymore.
Copy !req
631. I can never go back.
Copy !req
632. I betrayed everything
when I saved you from the coliseum.
Copy !req
633. Yeah, but you're engaged to the king.
They have to take you back.
Copy !req
634. Atlantis is many wonderful things.
Copy !req
635. But forgiving, it is not.
Copy !req
636. Yeah, but you're royalty.
Copy !req
637. So was your mother.
Copy !req
638. If I went back now,
I'd be sacrificed to the Trench.
Copy !req
639. Even my own father
wouldn't take me back.
Copy !req
640. Look on the bright side,
Copy !req
641. now you don't have to marry some
tool bag that you're not in love with.
Copy !req
642. My obligation isn't to love.
Copy !req
643. It is to my family and my nation,
Copy !req
644. and I've turned my back on both.
Copy !req
645. Sometimes, you have to do what's right,
Copy !req
646. even if your heart aches against it.
Copy !req
647. Your Highness.
Copy !req
648. The tracker places Princess Mera here,
in the Deserter Kingdom.
Copy !req
649. You said she was dead.
Copy !req
650. Apparently not.
Copy !req
651. Then your brother
still lives as well?
Copy !req
652. Not for long.
Copy !req
653. Captain Murk,
assemble a strike force immediately.
Copy !req
654. No! Mera is to be arrested
and safely returned to me.
Copy !req
655. She betrayed the throne.
Copy !req
656. She is a daughter of Xebel.
Copy !req
657. If any harm befalls her,
our coalition is over.
Copy !req
658. Your Highness,
Copy !req
659. we are now entering
the waters of the Fishermen Kingdom.
Copy !req
660. Securing the alliance
of the other two kingdoms
Copy !req
661. should be our immediate concern.
Copy !req
662. My vizier is correct. As usual.
Copy !req
663. Arrest them and bring back
King Nereus' daughter unharmed.
Copy !req
664. We're here!
Copy !req
665. Is there anything nearby?
Copy !req
666. Nothing but desert
for hundreds of K's, mate!
Copy !req
667. - Nothing but desert.
- He's wrong.
Copy !req
668. - Hey! What are you doing?
- Wait! No! Oh...
Copy !req
669. She just jumped!
She didn't have a parachute!
Copy !req
670. Redheads! You gotta love 'em.
Copy !req
671. Shit!
Copy !req
672. Oh, you're crazier than I thought!
Copy !req
673. This way.
Copy !req
674. You were defeated the last time
because your surface weapons failed you.
Copy !req
675. Ours will not.
Copy !req
676. It's prototype armor
Copy !req
677. for the next generation
Atlantean soldier.
Copy !req
678. Revenge is something
we Atlanteans understand.
Copy !req
679. You will lead my finest commandos
as your personal army
Copy !req
680. to hunt down the half-breed abomination.
Copy !req
681. I cannot touch them, but you can.
He's fled to your world.
Copy !req
682. Kill him and the woman he's with,
and you will be rewarded.
Copy !req
683. Killing him is my reward.
Copy !req
684. The crown jewel.
Still experimental.
Copy !req
685. Converts water
into beams of energized plasma.
Copy !req
686. I think I'm gonna need a bigger helmet.
Copy !req
687. One of the tribes of Atlantis
broke off and settled here
Copy !req
688. when this region
was still an inland sea.
Copy !req
689. When the water dried up,
they perished along with it.
Copy !req
690. Perished? Yeah, that's terrific.
Copy !req
691. We're getting close now.
Copy !req
692. Oh, yeah? Close to what?
Dying of thirst?
Copy !req
693. Close to getting punched in the face!
Copy !req
694. Look, Fight Club, I know you're new
to how things work up here.
Copy !req
695. Why don't you look around? We are lost.
Copy !req
696. You see that over there?
Hey, what is that?
Copy !req
697. Nada. This place is a wasteland.
Copy !req
698. You're the one who calls
this wasteland a home.
Copy !req
699. This isn't my home!
Copy !req
700. It's not like the whole surface
looks like this!
Copy !req
701. Oh, no, of course not.
Copy !req
702. You've also got disgusting cities
whose sewers empty out into our ocean
Copy !req
703. and whole mountains made out of trash.
Copy !req
704. And, oh, you've got great factories
Copy !req
705. that do nothing
but belch out filth and melt ice caps.
Copy !req
706. Okay. Point taken. Listen.
Copy !req
707. Yeah, we got
some idiots running the show,
Copy !req
708. but we've got
some good things too, all right?
Copy !req
709. We got green forests and big mountains
and beautiful lakes.
Copy !req
710. You'd love 'em.
They're like little baby oceans.
Copy !req
711. Are you trying to provoke me?
Copy !req
712. I'm just saying you cannot judge a place
before you've even seen it.
Copy !req
713. You've judged Atlantis on far less.
Copy !req
714. No. Would you
just stop it with that? No.
Copy !req
715. Your stupid Atlantean GPS just told you
to jump out of an airplane
Copy !req
716. over the middle of the desert,
and now we are stranded.
Copy !req
717. If you're the next true king,
we're doomed.
Copy !req
718. That was awesome.
Copy !req
719. Oh. Look what I found.
Copy !req
720. What you found?
Copy !req
721. Yeah.
Copy !req
722. Check this place out.
Copy !req
723. This is badass!
Copy !req
724. This is the Hall of Armory.
Copy !req
725. Where the legends say
Atlan's trident was forged.
Copy !req
726. I don't think
they're legends anymore.
Copy !req
727. Vulko was right.
Copy !req
728. It's real.
Copy !req
729. Nothing.
Copy !req
730. Of course it's not working.
Copy !req
731. It's been sitting here collecting dust
since before the Sahara was a desert.
Copy !req
732. Man!
Copy !req
733. "Since before the Sahara was a desert."
Copy !req
734. Thank you
for repeating what I just said.
Copy !req
735. It's completely dried out.
Copy !req
736. Let's just say
you do your best thinking
Copy !req
737. when you're not thinking at all.
Copy !req
738. All right, now hold still.
Copy !req
739. Hey. What are you doing?
Copy !req
740. We need water,
and you're the closest source.
Copy !req
741. Now, hold still.
Copy !req
742. Show-off.
Copy !req
743. I could have just peed on it.
Copy !req
744. King Atlan.
Copy !req
745. In this trident
resides the power of Atlantis.
Copy !req
746. In the wrong hands,
it would bring destruction.
Copy !req
747. But in the hands of the true heir,
Copy !req
748. it would unite all our kingdoms
above and below.
Copy !req
749. If you seek my power,
you must prove your worth.
Copy !req
750. Journey beyond the edge of the world
to the Hidden Sea.
Copy !req
751. Look inside the bottle
for the charted path.
Copy !req
752. Only in the hands of the true king
can he truly see.
Copy !req
753. We can't let Orm find this.
Copy !req
754. Hey! Wait!
Copy !req
755. What?
Copy !req
756. Shouldn't we have written it down first?
Copy !req
757. I memorized it. Didn't you?
Copy !req
758. Oh, yeah. Totally.
Copy !req
759. What'd he just say?
Copy !req
760. "Something something trident."
Copy !req
761. "Look inside the bottle
for the charted path."
Copy !req
762. It's our next stop.
Copy !req
763. I'm starting to think you
actually like these surface-dwellers.
Copy !req
764. It would be wrong to judge a place
I've never seen before.
Copy !req
765. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere.
Copy !req
766. Well, apparently, it's just right up
on the hill. A big old castle.
Copy !req
767. And I just learned something
very interesting.
Copy !req
768. Pinocchio.
Copy !req
769. You risked our lives based on something
you read in a children's book?
Copy !req
770. Wait, it's a book?
How about that?
Copy !req
771. I got it from the movie.
Copy !req
772. King Nereus,
I had hoped our people had evolved
Copy !req
773. beyond that ancient notion
Copy !req
774. that war with the surface is inevitable.
Copy !req
775. It is the position of the Fishermen
Copy !req
776. that when the time comes
to make ourselves known to the landsmen,
Copy !req
777. it should be to educate them,
not to destroy them.
Copy !req
778. I admire your lofty aspirations,
King Ricou.
Copy !req
779. But I suspect they are but clouds of ink
hiding the heart of a coward.
Copy !req
780. How dare you!
Copy !req
781. Please. I implore you.
Copy !req
782. You're a kingdom of bloated philosophers
and flaccid poets
Copy !req
783. whose waters have grown stagnant,
and it sickens me.
Copy !req
784. My King!
Copy !req
785. The king is dead! Long live his heir.
Copy !req
786. Princess.
Copy !req
787. Prepare your armies, Your Highness.
Copy !req
788. We move against the Brine Kingdom
at once.
Copy !req
789. What did the recording
say, again?
Copy !req
790. "Journey beyond the edge
of the world to the Hidden Sea.
Copy !req
791. Look in the bottle
for the charted path.
Copy !req
792. Only in the hands of the true king
can he truly see."
Copy !req
793. "Look in the bottle
for the charted path."
Copy !req
794. Oh, man.
Copy !req
795. What?
Copy !req
796. Wow.
That's awesome.
Copy !req
797. Let me see.
Copy !req
798. Wow. But how do you know
where to point it?
Copy !req
799. Here, let me see.
Copy !req
800. What was the last line?
Copy !req
801. "Only in the hands of the true king
can he truly see."
Copy !req
802. "Only in the hands of the true..."
Copy !req
803. Marcus Agrippa.
Copy !req
804. He was a great general,
but he wasn't a king.
Copy !req
805. Neither was Scipio.
Copy !req
806. How do you know all this stuff?
Copy !req
807. Because of my pops.
He made sure I knew my history.
Copy !req
808. None of these guys are kings,
except this guy. Romulus.
Copy !req
809. First king of Rome.
Copy !req
810. "Only in the hands of the true king
can he truly see."
Copy !req
811. There it is. That's our heading.
Copy !req
812. What? Let me see.
Copy !req
813. We did it!
Copy !req
814. That's not bad for an imbecile, huh?
Copy !req
815. Not bad at all.
Copy !req
816. Mera.
Copy !req
817. "Loathsomeness waits
and dreams in the deep,
Copy !req
818. and decay spreads over
the tottering cities of men."
Copy !req
819. Get back!
Copy !req
820. Arthur!
Copy !req
821. I order you to stand down!
Copy !req
822. Princess Mera, you've been charged
with high treason.
Copy !req
823. Who the hell are you?
Copy !req
824. Maybe this will jog your memory.
Copy !req
825. You're the guy from the sub.
Copy !req
826. That's right.
Copy !req
827. But now I have Atlantean steel.
Copy !req
828. Call me "Black Manta."
Copy !req
829. You thought you could walk away?
Copy !req
830. I thought I told you
not to make this a habit.
Copy !req
831. You can't run.
Copy !req
832. You owe me blood!
Copy !req
833. How'd you find me?
Copy !req
834. Your lady friend has people
who like to keep tabs on her.
Copy !req
835. No!
Copy !req
836. Come on.
Copy !req
837. Everybody, inside.
Get inside.
Copy !req
838. I'll show you
the same mercy you showed my father.
Copy !req
839. And gut you like the fish you are!
Copy !req
840. Arthur!
Copy !req
841. Mera, they're tracking you.
Copy !req
842. What?
Copy !req
843. They're tracking you.
Copy !req
844. Arthur, stay with me.
Copy !req
845. Arthur, wake up! Arthur.
Copy !req
846. Did you steal a boat?
Copy !req
847. Are the boats at the marina
not for public use?
Copy !req
848. No, those belong to people.
Copy !req
849. Those were Orm's elite commandos.
Copy !req
850. But the one who led them,
he wasn't Atlantean.
Copy !req
851. I've never seen him before.
Copy !req
852. Yeah, I have.
Copy !req
853. He and his father were pirates.
Copy !req
854. And he blames me for his father's death.
Copy !req
855. They picked a dangerous line of trade.
It's not your fault.
Copy !req
856. That's not how it feels.
Copy !req
857. It was up to me, and I let him die.
Copy !req
858. I could've saved him, but I didn't.
Copy !req
859. And now, I made an enemy,
and he could have hurt you.
Copy !req
860. And that would have been my fault.
Copy !req
861. Well, he's behind us now.
Copy !req
862. It's what lies ahead
that should concern us.
Copy !req
863. The charted path leads
to the Kingdom of the Trench.
Copy !req
864. Are those the same creatures
that killed my mother?
Copy !req
865. Yes.
Copy !req
866. She was taken there
and sacrificed to them.
Copy !req
867. It's become a place of death.
Copy !req
868. We know next to nothing
about what's down there.
Copy !req
869. We should turn back.
Copy !req
870. We can still warn the surface.
Try and prepare them for what's coming.
Copy !req
871. Turn back?
Copy !req
872. Look, I learned from a young age
not to show weakness.
Copy !req
873. Okay? I solve my problems
with my anger and my fists.
Copy !req
874. I'm a blunt instrument,
and I'm damn good at it.
Copy !req
875. But I've done nothing
but get my ass kicked this whole trip.
Copy !req
876. I'm no leader. I'm not a king.
Copy !req
877. I do not work or play well with others.
Copy !req
878. And I can't let you die trying
to turn me into something that I'm not.
Copy !req
879. You think you're unworthy to lead
because you're of two different worlds.
Copy !req
880. But that is exactly why you are worthy.
Copy !req
881. You are the bridge between land and sea.
Copy !req
882. I can see that now.
Copy !req
883. The only question is...
Copy !req
884. Can you?
Copy !req
885. The tracking on Lady Mera
is still dark, Your Highness.
Copy !req
886. Vulko.
Copy !req
887. My trusted vizier
Copy !req
888. who has stood by the throne
since my father sat upon it.
Copy !req
889. Have you any advice for me
as this war begins?
Copy !req
890. I have already given it, My King.
Copy !req
891. But I will stand by your decision,
as always.
Copy !req
892. My decision.
Copy !req
893. To protect it.
Copy !req
894. While you betray it.
Copy !req
895. You think I do not know
of your treachery?
Copy !req
896. That you have remained loyal
to my mother's bastard son.
Copy !req
897. That you have spent years training him
to take the throne from me.
Copy !req
898. Do not deny it.
Copy !req
899. I do not.
Copy !req
900. Why?
Copy !req
901. I am the pureblood.
Copy !req
902. I have devoted my life to Atlantis.
Copy !req
903. He wanted nothing to do with it.
You swore to serve the throne!
Copy !req
904. I do serve it.
Copy !req
905. Arthur may only be half-Atlantean,
Copy !req
906. but he's already twice the king
you'll ever be.
Copy !req
907. Take him.
Copy !req
908. But make sure he has a view.
Copy !req
909. What the hell are these things?
Copy !req
910. The Trench! We're here!
Copy !req
911. - There are too many of them!
- Come on, inside!
Copy !req
912. They're from the depths.
Copy !req
913. They're scared of the light. Here!
Copy !req
914. Come on!
Copy !req
915. You ready to jump?
Copy !req
916. Over there!
Copy !req
917. That thing will tear us apart.
Copy !req
918. We don't have a choice!
Copy !req
919. Arthur!
Copy !req
920. Mera!
Copy !req
921. Mera!
Copy !req
922. Mera!
Copy !req
923. Mera!
Copy !req
924. Mera!
Copy !req
925. Arthur.
Copy !req
926. Mom?
Copy !req
927. King Orvax sacrificed me
to the Trench, but I survived.
Copy !req
928. I fought my way through as you did,
and I ended up here.
Copy !req
929. You've been here
alone for 20 years?
Copy !req
930. Yes.
Copy !req
931. Come. Sit here.
Copy !req
932. You must forgive me.
Copy !req
933. Forgive me for everything.
Copy !req
934. This happened because you had me.
Copy !req
935. Not for having you.
None of this is your fault.
Copy !req
936. I made a choice. I had to leave...
Copy !req
937. To save you, to save your father.
Copy !req
938. Tell me. Tell me about him.
Copy !req
939. Is he...
Copy !req
940. He still walks to the end of that dock.
Copy !req
941. Every morning.
Copy !req
942. Every day.
Copy !req
943. Waiting for you.
Copy !req
944. Why didn't you ever come back?
Copy !req
945. Because the portal that brought you here
won't let us return.
Copy !req
946. The trident is the only way back.
Copy !req
947. But it is guarded by the Karathen.
Copy !req
948. The creature from our legends,
it's real.
Copy !req
949. It lies beyond the waterfall.
Copy !req
950. We'll go with you.
We can fight it together.
Copy !req
951. No.
Copy !req
952. It's too powerful.
Copy !req
953. I've tried many times over the years.
Copy !req
954. The creature will only allow
the true king to pass.
Copy !req
955. You're afraid.
Copy !req
956. Yes.
Copy !req
957. Good.
Copy !req
958. You're ready.
Copy !req
959. Atlantis has always had a king.
Copy !req
960. Now, it needs something more.
Copy !req
961. But what could be greater than a king?
Copy !req
962. A hero.
Copy !req
963. A king fights only for his nation.
Copy !req
964. You fight for everyone.
Copy !req
965. You do not belong here.
Copy !req
966. I have guarded the trident
against false kings since the beginning.
Copy !req
967. And for a thousand years
Copy !req
968. I have seen the greatest champions
try and fail.
Copy !req
969. But never have I sensed one
as unworthy as you.
Copy !req
970. You dare come here
with your tainted mongrel blood
Copy !req
971. to claim Atlantis' greatest treasure?
Copy !req
972. So be it...
Copy !req
973. Half-breed.
Copy !req
974. You thought yourself worthy?
Copy !req
975. You thought yourself a king?
Copy !req
976. You dishonor this place
with your presence.
Copy !req
977. Stop!
Copy !req
978. You're right. I am a half-breed mongrel.
Copy !req
979. But I did not come here
because I thought I was worthy.
Copy !req
980. I know I'm not.
Copy !req
981. You understand me?
Copy !req
982. I do.
Copy !req
983. No mortal has conversed with me
since King Atlan.
Copy !req
984. Who are you?
Copy !req
985. I'm nobody.
Copy !req
986. I came because I had no choice.
Copy !req
987. I came to save my home
and the people that I love.
Copy !req
988. I came
because the trident is their only hope.
Copy !req
989. And if that's not good enough...
Copy !req
990. Then screw you.
Copy !req
991. No man has ever freed the trident
from Atlan's grip.
Copy !req
992. Should he deem you unworthy...
Copy !req
993. Well, I haven't feasted in eons,
Copy !req
994. and I am famished.
Copy !req
995. The one true king.
Copy !req
996. Remember, the Brine
are powerful, savage brutes,
Copy !req
997. but a swift assault aimed directly
at their leadership will turn the tide.
Copy !req
998. Defeat the Brine King,
Copy !req
999. and you will command the greatest
military might on this planet.
Copy !req
1000. Today, we unite our kingdoms.
Copy !req
1001. Tomorrow, we scorch the surface!
Copy !req
1002. Rise, Atlantis!
Copy !req
1003. Death to the Atlantean hagfish!
Copy !req
1004. We will not bow to Atlantis.
Copy !req
1005. We're gonna give them a fight
that they will never forget!
Copy !req
1006. No! We need him!
Copy !req
1007. Join me or die.
Copy !req
1008. You expect me
to address you as Your Highness?
Copy !req
1009. Not Your Highness.
Copy !req
1010. Call me...
Copy !req
1011. Ocean Master.
Copy !req
1012. You can take my army,
you soft-bellied slug.
Copy !req
1013. But you will never have my allegiance!
Copy !req
1014. So be it!
Copy !req
1015. What the...
Copy !req
1016. The king has risen.
Copy !req
1017. Attack!
Copy !req
1018. There are too many casualties.
We have to stop the fighting now.
Copy !req
1019. I'll find my father.
But you must defeat Orm.
Copy !req
1020. And what if I can't?
Copy !req
1021. Last time, he was in his element.
Copy !req
1022. This time, make him fight in yours.
Copy !req
1023. - What was the plan, again?
- The plan is to not get killed.
Copy !req
1024. Yeah, good plan. Don't get killed.
Copy !req
1025. The Trench! He commands the Trench!
Copy !req
1026. Impossible!
Copy !req
1027. Stand down! Let her pass.
Copy !req
1028. Please, Father, he has the trident.
Copy !req
1029. I know you think this war is necessary,
Copy !req
1030. but Arthur is king
by our most sacred law.
Copy !req
1031. And if you turn your back on that now,
Copy !req
1032. then the Atlantis you're fighting for
is already dead.
Copy !req
1033. It's true!
Copy !req
1034. The half-breed wields
King Atlan's trident.
Copy !req
1035. He commands the sea!
Copy !req
1036. Then that half-breed is your king.
Copy !req
1037. Vulko! Come on, he needs our help!
Copy !req
1038. We can't! Look.
Copy !req
1039. The people must bear witness.
Copy !req
1040. That trident
doesn't change what you are.
Copy !req
1041. A half-breed bastard.
Copy !req
1042. Atlantis will never accept you
as its king.
Copy !req
1043. Well, then by bloodshed...
Copy !req
1044. Do the gods make known their will.
Copy !req
1045. Yield the throne. Yield it!
Copy !req
1046. Finish it.
Copy !req
1047. Yield the throne.
Copy !req
1048. Mercy is not our way.
Copy !req
1049. Maybe you haven't noticed, brother...
Copy !req
1050. But I'm not one of you.
Copy !req
1051. Do it!
Copy !req
1052. - Kill me!
- No!
Copy !req
1053. That is enough killing.
Copy !req
1054. Mother?
Copy !req
1055. Oh, my son.
Copy !req
1056. It's a long story.
Copy !req
1057. I'll tell ya later.
Copy !req
1058. Come on!
Copy !req
1059. I don't understand. We thought—
Copy !req
1060. I know.
Copy !req
1061. Arthur saved me.
Copy !req
1062. - You're with him?
- I am.
Copy !req
1063. You're both my children,
and I love you so much.
Copy !req
1064. But you have been misguided.
Copy !req
1065. Your father taught you
that there were two worlds.
Copy !req
1066. He was wrong.
Copy !req
1067. The land and the sea
Copy !req
1068. are one.
Copy !req
1069. My queen.
Copy !req
1070. Vulko.
Copy !req
1071. Take him.
Copy !req
1072. But make sure he has a view.
Copy !req
1073. When you're ready,
Copy !req
1074. let's talk.
Copy !req
1075. People of Atlantis,
today began in bloodshed,
Copy !req
1076. but let it end in joy.
Copy !req
1077. I give you King Arthur of Atlantis.
Copy !req
1078. Hail to the king!
Copy !req
1079. - Hail to the king!
- Hail to the king!
Copy !req
1080. So, what do I do now?
Copy !req
1081. Be their king.
Copy !req
1082. This is gonna be fun.
Copy !req
1083. You came back. You're back.
Copy !req
1084. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
1085. My father
was a lighthouse keeper.
Copy !req
1086. My mother was a queen.
Copy !req
1087. They were never meant to meet...
Copy !req
1088. But their love saved the world.
Copy !req
1089. They made me what I am.
Copy !req
1090. A son of the land,
and a king of the seas.
Copy !req
1091. I am the protector of the deep.
Copy !req
1092. I am...
Copy !req
1093. Aquaman.
Copy !req
1094. I spent 15 years
Copy !req
1095. at the United States Institute
of Marine Science...
Copy !req
1096. - Weren't you fired?
- ... studying oceanic phenomenon,
Copy !req
1097. and this is the most conclusive
evidence we have to date.
Copy !req
1098. Deep-sea seismographs have recorded
explosions on the ocean floor.
Copy !req
1099. We have satellite imagery
Copy !req
1100. of debris from Atlantean warships
floating on the surface—
Copy !req
1101. - Dr. Shin!
- Will you please let me finish?
Copy !req
1102. Here we go again. Atlantean?
Copy !req
1103. Yes. The government
does not want us to know
Copy !req
1104. about the threat
that exists right here...
Copy !req
1105. Yeah, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Copy !req
1106. This is Atlantean technology, isn't it?
Copy !req
1107. Can you tell me how you got this?
Copy !req
1108. Sure. But first,
Copy !req
1109. you gotta tell me how to find him.
Copy !req
