[Grandmother] Far out in the ocean, where the water
is as blue as the prettiest corn flower,
there lived a beautiful mermaid.
She became charmed by the idea of a life above the waves.

Hello, Charlotte.
I am your grandmother.
[lively music]
[audience applauding]
[tense, suspenseful music]
They're fairies.
Oh, fairies, eh?
Ohh.
Let me tell you a story about a mermaid
blinded by her foolish fantasy of her life on the land.
The mermaid was stolen from the water forever
by the very man whom she had saved from death.
Now, unless she is returned to the sea,
another must be found to take her place.
For the balance between the worlds
must be preserved, at all costs.
[slow, tense piano music]
Let's go.
[Charlotte] I'm suppose to be going to bed now.
[tense, suspenseful music]
Go to your bed, take this with you, okay.
[tense, suspenseful music]
It's happening George, we need to do something!
Where is she now?
I locked her in your office, what else could I do?
She won't stay in there, she doesn't want to.
She found us here, she'll find us anywhere.
[slow, solemn music]
Maybe it's time we pay the debt.
No, I will not hand my daughter over to that creature.
No, you leave me alone.
I just need time to think, I just...
[deep, suspenseful, scary music]

Good afternoon there.
Afternoon, you got gas?
You got cash?
Well, I have this old grandfather clock
came over from Europe,
- it's been in the... - Do you have cash?
Well if, if I had any I'd, I'd give it to you,
it's just that this is all we got.
Sorry friend, no cash, no gas.
Can't we at least give them a bit?
You wanna end up like those folks?
[car sputtering]
[slow, twangy music]
Tim!
[laughing]
Look at you, ain't you all grown up?
[laughing]
I brought you a postcard.
I remember you like them.
What do you got there?
Some gas for a family with no money.
Mm, father doesn't know you're doin' this, does he?
[chuckling] How's his mood?
Foul.
Figured as much.
Maybe, I'll take this down the road for you,
and I'll come back in a couple days.
Can I come?
[chuckling] That's a surefire way
to stir the hornet's nest.
I'll come back, I promise.
[knocking on door frame]
[Charlotte] Father, I just...
I'm busy.
I just thought you'd wanna know Tim was here.
[suspenseful, scary music]
This won't even cover a quarter of a payment!
[bells ringing]
Hello, Charlotte.
There's a power growing inside of you, Charlotte.
Soon you'll be faced with a very important decision.
[eerie music]
The mermaid chose to abandon her fish's tail.
And so the balance between the worlds was upset
and will never be healed until the daughter chooses
to return to her people.
On land, she can never be home, humanity is not her kind.
Their world is hollow, misery will be her only companion.
Father says I'm too old for stories.
I better go help him with the show.

[deep, tense music]
[humming]
Get out.
And take off my makeup.
There're some men here.
[haunting choral music]
Did we miss the show?
Just.
Have a drink though.
Name is Randall.
Don't believe I've had the pleasure.
Good to meet you.
But you've heard my name.
Most people around these parts know who you are.
I've been hearing your name lately as well.
[slow, tense music]
Let's have some of this.
[slow, tense music]
To Canada, and their good whiskey.
Keep it.
What can I do for you?
Heard you've been having some troubles
with the local financial institution.
None of my business to be sure,
however I like the flavor of your place here.
Thought I might be able to aid you in your efforts.
An investment.
What for?
A stake.
Father.
Take your sister to bed.
[slow, eerie music]
Beautiful daughters you have.
[slow, tense, suspenseful music]
Look George, we're a community around these parts.
It's in our best interests to help each other.
Isn't that what folks do when times get rough?
How exactly is this arrangement going to work?
Harold here will be staying behind
to watch over the collateral.
For now, while I'm putting more money in
than I'm getting out, I have the say.
Once you've paid back my investment,
and you're on your feet, I get a cut and you get the say.
I don't know.
You're not in a position to be picky.
I don't need no charity either.
This is strictly business.
I got the hooch connection, you've got the place to sell it.
What do they call that in fancy Washington terms?
Supply and demand.
There you go, just the natural order of things.
Now what do you say?
[tense music]
Sound fair?
[suspenseful, tense music]
Well this booze is gonna boost profits. [laughing]
You have to utilize all the assets at your disposal.

A deal that has us gettin' naked on stage.
We all have a role to play in this.
Let's do our part for father.

How'd California work out?
[laughing] too bad.
Yeah, too bad.
What'd you call me out here for, George?
I thought maybe you might wanna
stay in one place for awhile, maybe do some work for me.
Jeez George, I don't...
I got some investment now
and I need some help runnin' things.
What's that fella outside?
Harold.
Yes, part of the reason why I need my own guy.
[Tim] What, he your investor?
No, that's a Joe by the name of Randall.
You heard of him.
Yeah, yeah, I heard of him.
What's the matter?
You need to get out of this deal, as soon as you can.
I ain't asking for your advice.
Trust me.
He's helpin' this family,
that's more than I can ever say about you.
I worked for Randall when things first got bad.
I'm stayin' away from this place for a reason.
Ain't nothin' you ever done

[Tim] George.
Get outta my house.
I'll be in town for awhile.

[scary music]
[music increasing in intensity]

Patricia, fetch Tim.
Don't say anything, other than
it's regarding Charlotte and it's urgent.
I want this room presentable by the evening.
[water splashing softly] [Charlotte shivering]

[pounding at door]
Why was the door locked?
Never mind that, go to bed.
Thank god you came, I have no one else to turn to.
What is that for?
[eerie music]
[gulping]
What happened?
Is it always like this?
Not when you love him.
[Charlotte humming]
Ah-ah-ah, Ned.
Darling. [gasping]
[Charlotte] Who's Ned?
For all I know he could be lyin'
dead in a ditch somewhere.
You gotta take the girls, you gotta get outta here,
that's all there is to it.
I can't.
Why not?
Hey the only thing that's keepin' Charlotte safe
right now is our distance from water.
I'm between a rock and a hard place.
I gotta clean up this mess before it spreads.
Thinkin' maybe you could talk to Randall.
No.
- Tim, please. - I don't wanna
get mixed back up with that lot!
Do it for the girls, for Serena.
I need time to think about this.
Then go, think, just don't take too long,
Randall's due to check in any time.
Tim, I knew I could count on you.
[sighing] Yeah.
Yeah.
[door clicking shut]
Do you know where Grandmother is?
I wish you'd stop callin' her that.
She's just some old hag that helped mother in California.
Clean up your own mess.
It's time for the child's return.
No, I can't allow it.
It's Charlotte's decision to make
and sooner or later she will choose to return.
You'll make sure of it.
I forbid you from seeing her.
So be it.
She'll be thirsty.
[door slamming]
[light, solemn music]
Did y'all come back to see me?
Huh, course.
You know you've always been the favorite
out of all your sisters.
Gosh, you're startin' to look just like
your mother did when I first met her.
Nobody likes to talk about her anymore.
Yeah, what would you like to hear?
How'd you meet her?
Well, I knew your dad first.
He was always the ladies man.
And this one day, I heard him talking about
this amazing woman he'd met.
Which was strange 'cause your father
never used to talk about the girls he'd go with.
I thought maybe it'd last a week or so.
Then I saw her for myself.
Your mother was performing at this little nightclub
right down on Venice Beach.
Goddamn, if she wasn't the most beautiful woman
I had ever saw, bar none.
Anyway, we met through your dad.
He and I were inseparable back in those days.
What was California like?
It was beautiful.
The ocean stretches for miles and miles,
as far as you can see.
Would you ever go back?
Hm, it's a nicer place than Oklahoma.
Would you take me there too?
No, I don't think your father'd be very pleased with that.
I don't care.
Well, that's easy for you to say.
No.
I'm sorry, I won't tell father.
No, no, it's, it's not that.
You won't have to pay like the other men.
[slow, mysterious music]
[music building in intensity]
You forgot to mention that the only reason
Charlotte attacked Harold is because he paid you
to let him have his way with her!
Randall made me do it, they were gonna kill me!
Why do you think I called you?
You have to stop this!
[George] I can't without your help!
Goddammit!
Fine, I'll speak to Randall.
Just tell him I'm lookin' for Harold.
Tell him I'm doin' my best.
Thank you, Tim.
[slow, gentle piano music]
[door clicking open]
Have you seen Grandmother anywhere?
I've forbidden her from seeing you.
You have no right.
That woman wants to take you
away from here, you understand?
Why?
It's complicated, she,
your mother didn't want you to know.
Grandmother talks to me about it.
She's lyin' to you.
Well at least she treats me like an adult.
Charlotte, there are people, things in this world
that wish to do you harm, I'm tryin' to protect you.
Then why did you let him do that to me?
And that other man, why did you let him touch Sophia?
You could've stopped them.
Why didn't you stop them?
Just for a little while longer, I promise.
You didn't even come to see if I was okay.
You're not a normal girl, you're special.
And all this business with Randall and your sisters
and what they do, it's all for you.
I don't want any of this to be happenin'.
You don't have a choice!
[light, eerie music]
[Grandmother] And so the balance between worlds was upset
and will never be healed until the daughter chooses
to return to her people.
On land, she can never be home.
Misery will be her only companion.
[slow, eerie music]
[Charlotte] What happened?
Your father.
[Charlotte] You let him do this to you?
Oh, I knew you would come.
Do you remember the story of the stolen mermaid?
That story was about your mother.
Your father was the merchant sailor who tricked her
into giving up her tail in exchange for this existence.
The bargain made was that the daughter of a true love
would replace the mermaid when the time was right.
But your mother interrupted the arrangement.
She killed herself to save me?
Yes, but the imbalance remained.
You're unique Charlotte, my dear.
Not fully human, and not fully of my kind either.
You have a choice.
Emily says you're not my real grandmother.
I'm more family to you than she will ever be.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Oh, you needed to be ready.
You're a commodity to them.
The only one who loved you was your mother.
Because you're the same.
I can show you how to control your powers.
But not here.
So far away from my home, I'm weak.
It's time to go home, Charlotte.
[eerie music]
Charlotte?
Charlotte!
What lies have you been feeding her?
[yelling]
[deep, dramatic music]
Go back to where you came from.

No need for any back room deals, eh George?
[light, slow acoustic guitar music]
I must apologize, I would've come sooner
but I wanted to see what you were going to do about Harold.
Your approach really was quite innovative.
Not many men are brave enough to try and ignore
a problem and just hope it goes away,
especially when it comes to problems that involve me.
I, I don't know what you're talkin' about.
Harold ran outta here like a mad man last time we saw him.
I'll, I'll make it up to you.
Oh, you think Harold's dead, don't you?
He's quite alive.
Missing half his face and won't stop raving about
the monsters of course but alive nonetheless.
It was an accident, we tried to find him.
I, I didn't even know where to start.
I understand.
You did your best, that's all I can ask.
I want to thank you for trying to find my man.
I ain't gonna bite you.
[George whimpering]
Come on in, boys.
[George whimpering]
What are you gonna do?
Won't take a minute, dear.
No, no. [crying]
Now, now, this is no way to behave.
Put up a brave face for your daughters, at least.
I'll do anything.
No, no.
Don't do it, it wasn't his fault.
Well I guess all the guts
went to the women in your family.
Take hers.
Take her finger instead.

Oh, hello.
This is Sylvia.
Wonderful show.
Now, be a dear for me and wait for me in the car.
That a, finally what it was when your mother
performed it in California.
Goodbye Charlotte, we're movin' on.
Goodbye.
[slow, solemn music]
You got a lot of nerve comin' in here after what you did.
Excuse me.
Randall nearly cut my finger off
after your little chat with him.
He said you already told him about Harold
and everything was square with you two.
Seems like one of us is lyin' then.
Besides, I thought the whole idea
was to stay away from Randall.
Not put Charlotte in the goddamn show.
Who are you to judge me?
You know this is exactly what he wants.
This is exactly what I was tryin' to tell you.
You're blamin' me for this?
You know what, you don't have to worry about me anymore.
I just came to say goodbye to the girls.
I'm glad you cleaned up the place, but I'm leavin'.
What do you mean?
I stuck my neck out for you,
and now I'm right back to where I started.

Listen, everything's gonna be all right.
I'll deal with Randall.
After we've made a bit more cash, we'll go on a trip.
Maybe take the show on the road.
Would you like that?
Yeah, we'll do that, as a family.
Do you need the bath?
[Charlotte] Do you still think you could
run the show without me?
Yeah, why?
I'm leavin'.
Does father know?
No.
He's gonna be livid.
Good luck.
Don't tell the others.
Where are you gonna go?
Where are you headed?
[frightening music]
I only want to talk.
You're one of them.
Them, I'm one of us.
[tense, frightening music]
Be careful.
You have to utilize all the assets at your disposal.
Harold here will be staying behind
to watch over the calamity.
You know how these deals work.
[Charlotte] My trick can make you money.
[Randall] You suppose this will solve your problem?
It was all you, you made me.
I'm your only chance to escape
the sheer boredom of existence.
You know we're different from the humans.
Higher in every way.
It's not so glorious anymore, is it?
You thought they were cheering for you this whole time.
They are cheering for me.
They cheer for what you can do to them.
They're like dogs compared to us.
And like dogs, we can train them
to do all kinds of tricks.
So this is what our kind does for fun?
That's just what I do for fun, for now at least.
You can choose to do whatever you want.
I'm going far away from this place,
and never singing again.
You can try.
[eerie, frightening music]
Your father's paid back his debt, by the way.
[door clicking shut]
[deep, tense music]
Where is she?
Who?
You know damn well who.
[Sister] Father!
Look what I found.
I distinctly remember asking you
if you'd seen Tim, quite recently.
I, I swear I haven't seen Tim in ages.
Then he's lying.
So you, you don't mind if I punish him accordingly?
[gun firing]
[Tim crying out] [gasping]
[Tim groaning]
Where's the star of your show?
I gave her the night off.
I hope you haven't lost your gift horse.
I'm right here.
Good, thought you might have left town on me.
[Tim whimpering]
Pay attention.
I have a bone to pick with your father.
It has come to my attention that you have been
providing certain services without cutting me in.
I don't know what you're talkin' about.
Booze and women are my game, George.
I've been payin' you your cut for all the booze...
But not the women.
What?
He's been running the whore house right under your nose.
Maybe you were too caught up
in your own celebrity to notice.
You said you would stop.
Why would he?
It's pure profit when you cut out your investors.
Is this true?
Oh course not, he's lyin'.
It is true.
He didn't make me do it, 'cause he knew I'd tell.
But they have.
Your wife, Gertrude,
you'd think you'd have learned your lesson
about my kind by now.
Oh, I'm sorry, George, I thought you knew.
Oh let's get [loud static buzzing].
That's the other thing, we have a disgruntled customer.
Seems Harold paid for service he didn't receive.
Please.
Don't, I'll give you the whole operation if you want.
I'm starting to think
that you would say anything to get out of trouble.
I like you, I like your family.
But Harold thinks we've taken the maximum amount
of disrespect from you that our organization can handle.
Word's getting out that I've got a soft spot
for the guy with all the girls.
I can't have that.
[light thumping]
Take the girls, kill George.

I've come to gloat.
I hope you got what you wanted.
Getting what we want is no fun at all.
It's about the game.
You're more powerful than you think.
We could have a lot of fun together.
Very brave of you to go the exact direction
they've been trying to lure you all this time.
I'll write you when I get there.
