[Callum narrating]
[Prince Karim] There's someone here
who can get the seed for us.
Kim'dael, the Bloodmoon Huntress.
If you kill me now, you'll never know
where the sun seed is.
[Ezran]
Finnegrin has something he shouldn't.
And we're going to steal it.
They're baby glow toads!
[Nyx] That's Sea Legs. Finnegrin's ship.
He's coming for us.
[Ezran] Sea Legs has legs.
It's a giant hermit crab!
[Finnegrin] Take 'em to the brig.
Keep the boy separate.
I've got special use for this one.

[Finnegrin humming]
Tell me where my friends are.
Your friends won't be springing
to your rescue.
One of them's already gone.
Traded me something I wanted,
and now she's free as a bird.
Look at you. Slave to your friends,
your loyalties, your pride.
I can give you your freedom, though.
I just want one thing.
-Yeah? What do you want?
-A spell.
One dark magic spell, boy,
and you go free.
Never. I don't do dark magic.
I will never help you.
[sighs] I see.
Seems you're the type
that needs persuading.
Deadwood! Get over here, you teak freak!
[heavy footsteps approaching]
[electricity crackling]
[both whimper]
[pained groans and grunts]
[Corvus] We've searched the entire camp.
Whoever took Queen Janai
didn't leave a single track or trace…
not a hair, not a print, not a mark.
It's like she was taken by a ghost.
Rest, Corvus, you're still hurt.
Janai is strong. She'll survive this.
[man] The traitor!
[people clamoring]
[guard] Grab him!
[winces]
[breathes heavily]
[grunts]
Ah, don't worry, Bait. I'm okay.
-[door opens, closes]
-[gasps]
[sighs]
Listen, boy, this ain't that complicated.
You're a dark mage.
All I'm asking for is one spell.
I'm not a dark mage.
You take me for a fool?
You stole the wind right out of my sails.
That was primal magic.
I don't do dark magic.
-Never?
-Never.
You're crying innocent
but in your eyes I see guilt.
What have you done
that's got you so twisted up inside, huh?
I did one spell. One. I just…
I turned some chains into snakes.
I had to, to save my friends.
Oh, how noble.
Just one spell and you never thought
about dark magic again?
Uh, well, I've just…
I've read a lot about it.
But not only dark magic,
all kinds of magic.
Your kind, too.
I've read about the ocean,
and the tides, and how…
Well, maybe in all that reading
you found what I'm looking for.
Few years ago, a human took down
Avizandum, king of the dragons,
with dark magic.
And I want to know the spell that did it.
-Why?
-Simple.
I want to kill
the Archdragon of the Ocean…
Domina Profundis.
I am here to offer a trade.
Prince Karim will return Queen Janai
in exchange for the sun seed.
He demands that the seed be delivered
personally by General Miyana.
No. Absolutely not.
Janai was taken because she
was protecting the sun seed.
It is our future.
A future she values
more than her own life.
Then the choice is made
and the Queen will die.
No.
I'm not going to help you murder
the Archdragon of the Ocean.
Murder?
You know, when you say it like that,
you make me sound
like a bloodthirsty fiend.
Oh, I'm sorry, do you have some kind
of nice reason for wanting her dead?
[chuckles]
Sea Legs had a sister.
-[whimpers]
-She was my loyal pet, my steed,
and my ship for 40 years.
And I loved that crab.
Out in the deep,
she could take sea leviathans
and krakens with her own two claws.
Well, Domina didn't like that,
said the deep sea
was under her protection.
But that ain't freedom.
And so I challenged her domain
and she took everything from me.
She let me live but she told me
if she ever saw me more than
a mile offshore she'd drown me.
Me. The fearsome Captain Finnegrin.
Ships turn and flee
at the sight of my flag.
Any sailor who docks at Scumport
pays their due.
But if I cross the great Domina Profundis,
she'll make flotsam
of everything I've built.
So long as she's out there,
I'm never truly free.
[chuckles]
-Something funny?
-Listen to yourself.
You think you want freedom, but you're
just trying to control the entire ocean.
You think I want control, do you?
I'll prove you wrong right now.
There's a decision I've been mulling over,
and I'm going to let you make it for me.
[Rayla] Callum.
What is he doing to you? Let him go!
[screams]
Control the prisoners, Deadwood,
or I'll chop you up to make a new mast.
Sit back down.
Big dumb hunka wood-if-he-could.
Hey! He's actually doing a great job.
I'm very under control.
You all care about justice, right?
Well, one of you stole my glow toads
so one of you has to pay.
Now the old-fashioned price for stealing
is the thief's hand.
So, boy, which of your friends
is losing a hand?
I give you that choice.
No. I won't pick.
Oh, you will,
or I'll take a hand from each of 'em.
Take my hand.
I'm the one who stole from you.
No, take mine.
I almost lost one before,
so suppose I'm due.
I've got the biggest, strongest hands,
don't you want one of mine?
-Huh? Huh?
-I can get on fine without a hand.
Hooks are in fashion these days.
What is wrong with you people?
You bunch of barnacle brains
all want to lose your hands?
I do not understand.
-A hand will take weeks to regrow.
-No, buddy.
It'll take way longer than that.
See?
So long as we protect each other,
so long as we love each other,
you can never control us.
Charming.
Really tugging on my heartstrings.
Think I feel a good cry coming on.
[cuffs unlock]
They'll do anything for you, so surely
you'll do anything for them, won't you?
Go on.
[horse neighs from a distance]
It's Miyana.
Miyana, I knew you'd come.
I knew you would not…
[horse neighs]
[chanting]
Ah!
[grunts]
[Kim'dael] Oh, stop it, you two.
Let's talk, shall we?
[Finnegrin] You've done this before.
Turn their chains into snakes
and then you can all overpower me
and sail to freedom.
You have all the power and control here.
If you care so much about them,
set them free.
Is it such a big deal dirtying yourself
with a little dark magic?
Stop! Just take my hand
that's all you wanted, isn't it?
Don't do it, Callum. Not again!
[clicks]
-[screams]
-[chanting]
[groans]
[agonized screaming]
Rayla!
[Finnegrin] Hurts, don't it?
That's your blood freezing in your veins.
Now you see what keeps everyone
on my ship in line.
The chains, well,
they're really just for show.
[grunting]
You shouldn't have done that.
[thuds]
[men] Woe to the man
The dark-eyed sailor ♪
Ship's adrift… ♪
That was quite a display.
All that talk about how love
makes you stronger,
but the second you see
that elf girl in pain,
you completely lost yourself.
-[whimpers]
-[clicks]
[grunts]
-What are you doing?
-Oh, don't worry.
The cage is for his protection.
This way, he lures us a leviathan
but doesn't get eaten.
The one getting thrown
into the sea serpent's hungry mouth
is your elf girl.
[grunts]
No, no, wait! A dying breath.
Blood filled with hatred.
And a unicorn horn.
That's the dark magic you want.
Just… just let her go.
[tongue clicking] Oh, my poor lad.
That deal was no longer on the table.
No!
No!
Just get this over with. Kill her!
Killing a queen was not part
of our agreement.
Release me from my debt to your bloodline,
then I will kill whoever you like.
Karim, you fool.
This is a monster
you do not want unleashed.
What choice did I have?
You pushed me to this, sister.
Kim'dael of the Blood Moon,
I release your debt.
Kim'dael of the Blood Moon,
I release your debt!
[chuckles] You can't free her, Karim.
That power lies with the crown
of Lux Aurea alone.
With me. And I will never set her free.
Kill her!
Then I will be King,
and I shall release you.
Then I'll do it.
[chanting]
[Karim screams]
[grunts]
It's over.
If you kill me,
Amaya will kill my brother,
and our bloodline will end.
And the binding around your neck
will tighten until you are gone.
Then today you live,
true Queen of Lux Aurea.
May our next meeting be more favorable.
[chuckles]
[chanting]
[horse neighs]
[grunting]
[muffled grunting]
[man] Sea leviathan!
Starboard side!
[grunts]
[grunts]
[sea leviathan grunting]
[chanting]
Ahh!
[chanting]
[both chanting]
Ah!
[exhales sharply]
What did you think you could do, boy?
I control everyone on this ship.
Everyone.
Callum!
[exhales sharply]
[Callum]
Do not ask how the ocean's blue…
or why the tides their time do keep.
To love is simply to know this…
The tides are true, as the ocean is deep.
[chanting]
How?
You don't control anything.
But then,
you already knew that, didn't you?
Because it's the secret
of the ocean itself.
The arcanum.
-Impossible.
-You helped me figure it out.
I thought it would be
about controlling the tides,
or fighting the currents.
But… it's the opposite.
The ocean arcanum is accepting
that there are depths you can't see.
Parts of yourself you can't understand.
And things you can't control.
You know what I'm saying is true
because you were born knowing it.
No matter how much you try,
you'll never control everything.
And that terrifies you.
Oh, you're wrong, boy. I can control you.
[Callum choking and gasping]
You see after all that,
I win because this worthless lump
of timber obeys me no matter what.
[choking]
[Callum coughs]
[grunts]
Stop!
You don't have to do what he tells you.
He calls you names
and says you're worthless,
but you do everything he says.
-Why?
-Because he knows his place.
Doesn't even have blood to freeze,
but he'll still do what he's told.
Like this…
Deadwood!
Hit the handsome loudmouth.
[Callum grunts]
[grunts]
[panting]
[Soren grunting]
He deserves dignity!
Oh, if you say so,
I can treat him real dignified-like.
There he is, the great Sir Splinters,
Lord of the Logs.
Look at him, he's got a face
only a carpenter could love.
Again!
[knuckles cracking]
[Soren grunts]
Soren, stay down.
[breathes heavily]
This is over.
Again!
[Soren groans]
-Why do you keep getting up?
-Again!
[Soren groans]
I know… what this is like.
I know how you feel.
He's cruel… but you don't have to be.
[exhales sharply]
What are you doing?
I didn't tell you to stop.
Hit him again.
Do it, you pathetic rotting husk.
Do you hear me, Deadwood?
Deadwood!
That is not my name.
Unhand me! I own you!
I control you!
You are mine!
Deadwood, put me down! Deadwood!
My name is…
Elmer.
[Finnegrin screaming]
[chitters]
-[grunts]
-[whimpers]
Hmm, I've never been captain
of a crustacean before.
But I'm sure we'll be friends.
Berto, set a course
to the Sea of the Castout.
[squawks]
[Nyx] Belay that order.
[squawks]
You! Where have you been?
Mutineer.
She bargained with Finnegrin
for her freedom.
Begone from me decks!
Uh, now hold on.
I had your best interests at heart
all along.
Finnegrin let me go
because I told him
you were after a treasure,
a treasure at the Sea of the Castout.
And at the speed the Sea Legs
has been moving,
I imagine we're just about… there.
See?
I'm just as heroic as the rest of you.
-You left us here. With Finnegrin.
-And you beat him.
Just as I knew you would.
[Soren] We literally didn't.
Elmer beat him.
So… two primal sources?
Now you're just getting greedy,
mister mage.
Callum, are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm okay. I am.
I'm glad.
