1 Previously on Siren Ryn, are you alright? No baby.
We can't just take Ryn to a fertility clinic.
Beth her people They have their own doctors.
[NEWS DIRECTOR.]
This isn't proof of anything.
You want to know what real evidence would be? Her.
Miles out to sea, and there aren't any other boats around.
Trauma sometimes, twisting things in our brains.
Yeah.
Woman under the water doesn't make any sense.
We're so glad you're here.
This is Leena, our doctor.
The procedure went exceptionally well.
And Ryn? - [LEENA.]
She's gone.
- No! No! - Ryn! Don't take her! - Ryn! You wanted evidence, right? I got it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[HORN HONKING.]

- Can you go any faster? - Come on! - I'm trying! - There's a shortcut! - Where? Where?! Up ahead! There! Go straight! - You see him? - No, not yet.
The main road's coming up ahead! - There! - [TIRES SCREECH.]
I see him, I see him! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! [GRUNTING.]
[FEMALE SINGER VOCALIZING.]
Come on.
We gotta get down there.
[GASPING.]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[GASPING AND COUGHING.]

She's okay.
She got away.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that Take her.
You saved my life.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[MALE SINGER.]
It was a great blue wave Took me in [HELEN.]
Where is he now? Probably back in Seattle.
And you think he'll keep the secret? Ben saved his life.
He was grateful for that, and we think he'll stay quiet.
[HELEN.]
We hope.
But at the moment, I'm more worried about the damage he did.
Ryn could have been pregnant right now.
Because we lost time, those embryos are no longer viable.
Maybe we try again another time.
To make baby with science.
Hey, turn that up.
That all sounds pretty far-fetched.
[SCOFFS.]
Yeah, well, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, right? I saw one.
Firsthand.
And there are others.
Oh, my God.
What is he doing? [IAN.]
Look, all I can say is play the footage.
It's been authenticated.
[MAN.]
What is going on?! [WOMAN.]
Oh, my goodness! [RYN SCREAMING ON TV.]
This is bad.
This is bad.
These are highly evolved apex predators.
They're dangerous.
- That's her.
- Come on.
[MAN.]
That's the one in the video! [XANDER.]
You gotta get out of here.
- Go! - It's the same one! - That's the one! - Follow her! Follow her! [CROWD SHOUTING.]

We've got to get her out of town! [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[PEOPLE SHOUTING.]
Sorry.
Only residents are being admitted.
[PEOPLE SHOUTING.]
[HORNS HONKING.]
[BRITISH NEWS ANCHOR.]
Bristol Cove, Washington, where two of the creatures were caught off the coast 15 days ago, remains under martial law after groups of tourists, animal activists, and poachers descended on the town.
[SIREN.]
Vandalism and some violence were reported before order was restored.
Roads into the town have been sealed off.
No one but permanent residents are being admitted.
[CONVERSATION INAUDIBLE.]
[DISTANT SIREN.]
Meanwhile, the U.
S.
Government continues to install a network of offshore sonic cannons.
The expectation being that these devices, originally developed for oil exploration, may force more of the creatures from the water.
There are continued reports out of Malaysia claiming they have obtained a creature of their own, with sources alleging it is being held in a state-run facility where it will be studied and put on display to an eager public.
And, around the globe, citizens are now bitterly divided over the treatment of this new found species.
Canada, the latest in a growing list of nations to offer asylum and protection.
We will welcome them, provide a safe haven for them, and ultimately, if they so desire, a path to citizenship in our country.
Additionally, the U.
S.
military has released newly obtained footage found in a small marine research facility inside Bristol Cove.
A local marine biologist and his staff, presumably aware of the existence of the marine creatures, are being pursued for questioning.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Who is it? It's Ben.
Ben.
Ohh! You all right? Ryn? And Maddie? - Still in the cave.
- Oh! She's gonna have to go back soon.
She can't stay out of the water forever.
Yeah.
Look, you gotta get out of here.
It's not safe.
Well, maybe things will calm down now that they're keeping everyone out.
The town's under martial law, Helen.
They can change the rules any time they want.
It's only gonna get worse.
You need to come with us.
Where? - Canada.
- Oh, you heard.
Yeah, on the radio.
It's the best chance we got.
I heard rumors that a blood test is being developed to identify our kind.
Helen, you need to take care of yourself.
[HELICOPTER PASSES.]
You need my help.
I just need to get across the border.
What can I do? If you can get us a car, drive it out of town past the checkpoint, we can get as close as we can, - then cross on foot.
- That's pretty rough country.
There's a place I know.
One summer, my dad and I went backpacking up there, accidentally crossed the border.
It's about a 40 mile hike.
I'll pack my car.
Good.
Thank you.
Meet us at the gas station by Route 6.
Are you sure about this? They want Ryn.
You know what they'll do to her if they find her.
[TED.]
Ben? - Hey, Dad.
- Thank God.
Where the hell you been? Your mother's out of her mind.
- I'm gonna let her know you're - Dad, don't I can't stay.
Tell Mom I'm okay, will you? You've been with her? Ryn.
And Maddie, right? Okay, I'm gonna let Dale know, 'cause he's worried sick.
I'm sorry, okay? I have to go.
You got a plan? We're leaving.
Crossing the border.
You need to stop and think.
Dad.
Don't.
You need money.
That's why you came, right? [SAFE KEYPAD BEEPING.]
They know you're helping her, you know? They're looking for you.
- I know.
- All right.
Go on.
Be careful.
Thank you.
Tell Mom.
- Tell her I - I will.
[ELAINE GASPS.]
[THERAPIST.]
That's it.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
- [HELICOPTER.]
- [ELAINE STRUGGLING.]
Ryn! Be careful.
We don't want anyone to see you.
Come on.
The machines.
They are getting closer.
I know.
Come.
Help me pack.
[DISTANT SIREN.]
Calvin's been letting me keep this stuff here.
It freaks my mom out having it in the house, so Where is he? Oh, you know, he's out on the water, looking for a payday.
You know they're offering a hundred million for one Um, anyway, every deckhand in town's on a feeding frenzy, so The sooner we get away from the coast, the safer we'll be.
Yeah, that's for sure.
Where exactly you guys going? [DISQUIETING MUSIC.]
You still have the lure? Um, nah, it's just It was in the closet.
You're helping them.
We got enough trouble with the military after them, Xan.
They're mercenaries, pirates.
[SCOFFS.]
Did you hear what I just said? I mean, how much they're offering? [DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Go, go, go! Okay, okay! Clear! Area clear.
This area's secure! [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[MADDIE.]
Ben! Oh, my God.
You okay? - No Helen? - No.
Down, down, down! We're gonna have to get out of here.
We can't wait for her any longer.
Follow my lead.
Hey.
We're gonna need to buy your car.
What? We're gonna need to buy your car.
It's not for sale.
[TEEN.]
Take it.
Here.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Oh, my God.
Where you headed, ma'am? Camping trip.
Step out of the vehicle, please.
Last I checked, residents were still allowed to come and go.
Am I wrong about that? Stand right there, please.
Hold out your hand, please, ma'am.
Excuse me? I said hold out your hand.
What is this? [WINCES.]
[BEEPING.]
Let's go.
Move! What do you think you're doing? This is still the United States of America.
Move.
[MAN.]
You two may be the biggest bullshitters in this whole bullshit town.
It's not bull, Silas.
We were on that boat when the very first one was caught.
Hell, we're the ones that caught her.
That's what started this whole thing.
So you say.
But it's been three weeks since the military caught those other two, and I don't see you getting another.
We're working on it.
Sure as hell hope so.
'Cause I got a buyer breathing down my neck.
Oh, yeah? Who is it? U.
S.
Government? Russia? China? Not that it's any of your business, but it's a private client.
Yeah, I read that every pharmaceutical company in the world was after one of these things.
Never mind who it is.
Just quit blowing smoke up my ass and do your job.
Don't worry about it.
We have a plan.
You got 24 hours.
Otherwise, I'm moving on.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[RYN COUGHING.]
[COUGHING.]
You doing okay? Yes.
We need to ditch the car soon, go on foot.
- [TURNS ON RADIO.]
- [ANNOUNCER.]
Following local traffic.
Northbound on Route 5, expect a bit of a bottleneck as you approach the Canadian border.
Several border points have been closed due to a security breach further south.
- No details have been released.
- [CLICK.]
[MAN.]
We don't know what kind of threat they pose.
These things aren't human.
They're an invading force, and that's how we should treat them.
[TURNS OFF RADIO.]
[SOLDIER ON P.
A.
.]
Step forward.
Step forward and remove all belongings.
Remove all belongings.
Where are you from? - Step forward.

[CASH REGISTER CLICKING.]
Do I know you? - [CASH REGISTER CLICKING.]
- Nope.
What do I owe you? Keep the change.
[LABORED BREATH.]
We gotta get out of here.
We've got a problem.
[MADDIE.]
It's been two months.
She's never gone this long before.
Hang on, Ryn.
We'll figure something out.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[XANDER.]
Got it? You expect me to believe that metal piece of crap's gonna catch us a mermaid? Well, you don't have to believe it.
You're gonna see it with your own eyes.
Actually, they're gonna hear it with their own ears.
[DONNA'S DISTRESS CALL SHRIEKING.]
What the hell? All right? [BOTH.]
One, two, three.
[DISTRESS CALL ECHOING.]
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
[PEOPLE CONVERSING.]
[SOLDIER.]
Let's go, let's go.
[RYN COUGHING.]
Maybe we go back.
I go in water, and we start again.
We can't, Ryn.
The whole coast down there is being patrolled.
They got 20 sonic cannons blasting the water.
Our only hope is to get you across the border.
There's an estuary near Vancouver, a safe place, protected.
We're only about an hour away from the trailhead.
Then we walk? - We'll help you.
- That's what we'll do.
Just hang on.
Yes.
Hang on.
[DISTRESS CALL ECHOING.]
Hey.
I'm seeing something down there.
Get those tranq guns.
Whoa, whoa.
You can't send them down there.
Are you nuts? She's gonna smoke them.
- They know what they're dealing with.
- No, they don't.
[SILAS.]
Hey, come on! We haven't go all day! In the water! Let's go! [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[DISTRESS CALL ECHOING.]
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Come on, what are you waiting for? Be careful.
Give it up.
Help him up, help him up.
- Pull! - [STRAINING.]
[SILAS.]
Watch the tail.
Come on.
[STRAINING.]
[SILAS.]
That's a whole lot of money in your hands.
The state park entrance should be just around this bend.
You doing okay? Okay.
Yes.
[COUGHS.]
Shit.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
They knew exactly where we'd be, right where we were planning to hike in.
Someone tipped them off.
There's only one person it could be.
Your dad? [CAMI SCREAMING.]
The Earth's covered in ocean, and we gotta catch this one.
What are the chances? It's not a chance, Calvin.
She heard her mother's voice.
It's our fault she got caught.
What?! She tried to kill you, man.
You think if she'd done it, she would have felt bad? - Probably not.
- Definitely not.
She's the reason you lost your boat in the first place.
We sell her, we're set for life.
You know what I call that? Justice.
[ENGINE STOPS.]
We'll have to hike from here.
You think we can get around the checkpoint? No choice.
We'll lay low until the sun goes down, find another place to cross.
- Think you can make it? - Yes.
Come on.
I haven't, uh, seen your sister Beth.
Did she get out before, uh, they found you? No, we were all together when they came to the ranch.
When we first got here, she and a few others tried to escape.
She was shot.
I'm so sorry.
I recognize that girl from John's ranch.
Yeah, that's Meredith.
She's been here for a couple of weeks.
[MEREDITH STRUGGLING.]
[HELEN.]
Where are they taking her? Tracking device.
They started implanting them after Beth was killed.
Oh, my God.
Look.
Hello? We'll stay here till dark.
[RATTLING LATCH.]
[DISQUIETING MUSIC.]
- [MUSIC PLAYING.]
- [PARTY-GOERS CHATTING.]
[XANDER.]
This makes no sense.
I mean, why are we here? Where the hell are we? This ain't no research facility.
Oh, yeah, ya think? We just gotta get paid and get outta here.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[MADDIE.]
Ben? Stay down.
Don't move.
Ben's father is here.
And mine.
You need to tell your men to stand down.
My daughter is in there.
This wasn't the plan.
You know damn well that a hostage situation has to be negotiated.
This is not a hostage situation.
This is three armed fugitives.
I'll go in there and talk to him.
We could end this peacefully.
All right, you have five minutes.
Ben? I'm coming in.
I'm alone.
- [LATCH CLANKS.]
- [BEN.]
Get down.
Stay down.
Get in here.
What did you do? Ben, - I did it for you.
- Bullshit.
That's bullshit.
Ben, you need to talk to these guys.
Okay? It's not too late.
You can make a deal.
- A deal? - Yeah.
What, I give her up and save myself? Is that the idea? Yeah.
That's what I thought.
What did they do to you? [GASPS.]
What happened? They've been using us for tests.
What kind of tests? To see how fast we can heal.
Ohh.
You caused this.
- All of it.
- What are you talking about? You shared our secret with the humans.
They never would've found out about us, and none of this would have happened.
I only told people I knew we could trust.
A Pownall.
The Pownalls are not the problem here.
Ah, of course.
You're one of them.
What did I expect? You should be ashamed of yourself, fighting with me, your own kind.
Here? Now? Don't move.
I can get them to promise they won't harm her.
Why would I believe one word you say to me ever again? - Huh? - Ben, I did it for you, to keep you safe.
- To keep me safe? - Yeah, to keep you safe.
You were never gonna make it out of here alive.
That is not true.
We were so close.
We could've made it.
Ben, you're not thinking straight.
You're gonna help us get out.
[MADDIE.]
No! Ben! It's our only chance.
This is not a good idea, Ben.
- Ben, they'll kill you.
- Move.
They'll kill you all.
- Now! Move.
- Oh, jeez.
There's more where that came from.
[LAUGHING.]

Yes.
"Sutton appears to have lost control of his vehicle "on a remote coastal road.
" They're saying it was an accident.
Why did he take me? He wanted to share you with the rest of the world.
That would have been bad.
No more.
He is dead now.
You did everything you could.
Dale, you got a sec? Oh, Ted.
Come in.
I wonder if you could just, uh, do me a little favor.
Well, seems like I owe you one.
Susan told me you offered her a job.
We could use the help.
Roberta's gone down to part-time.
So what can I do for you? Well, um, I'm looking for the, uh, Coast Guard report from the night of Elaine's accident.
Figured you probably have an "in" down there.
That's a long time ago.
Ten years.
Is that why you went to see Susan? Yeah.
Certain things from that night, just, uh, things I thought I'd forgotten, keep popping into my head.
You sure you want to dredge all that up again? Well, just some unanswered questions.
Things I can't explain.
I really just want to try to remember exactly what happened.
Yeah, sure.
I can look into that.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Oh, Ted.
You know, some things are better left in the past.
Yeah.

What do ya think? It's pretty sweet, right? This is my new gig.
Isn't this, uh, Eddie Coburt's old boat? Uh, no, not old.
Pre-owned.
What'd this thing cost you? Didn't cost him a cent.
Oh, I see.
You bought it.
All those extra shifts.
I've been saving my tips.

- [CALVIN.]
Huh? You two, you are, uh, perfect for each other.
I'm sorry for what happened, but he brought it on himself, and it's because of him that Ryn couldn't have that embryo implanted.
No baby for me.
Maybe we try again.

But the heartbeat is strong.
That's a positive sign.

Pretty soon, we'll have a full blood of our very own.
