[bunniefuu]

(theme music)

(chiming)

(water lapping)

Gotcha!

(chuckles)

(tranquil music)

(indistinct chatter)

(Mati chuckles)

(Mati's father humming)

- (Mati grunts)
- (Mati's father groans)

- (yelling in pain)
- (crackling)

- Mati! What the hell are you doing, boy?
- (chuckles)

(chuckles)

Next time, I will use my spear
instead of these fingers.

(both laugh)

(somber music)

Ha!

(yelps, whimpers)

(laughs heartily)

You should see your face.

- Sana!
- SANA: Ay, man.

Why are you still watching this?

- SANA: Come on, man. This is not healthy.
- (frustrated groan)

And when was the last
time you had a cleanse?

I-I can see some algae
growing behind your fins.

- (gasps)
- (in Afrikaans) Sies!

(sighs)

(in English) Mati!

(shouts) When will I be
anointed as a warrior?

(sighs)

Not this again.

SANA: You are not ready.

They k*lled Papa, Sana!

I should be out there,
making them pay!

(squeaking)

You wouldn't last
half a day out there.

Then... then I'll
use the Hatima.

With its power, we can wipe them
all off the face of the planet.

Do you know what you are saying?

I... I just...

The air-breathers use
Hatima for k*lling.

We don't.

(burbling)

(annoyed grunt)

(inhales sharply)

(woman pants) Eish, ah!

- (screaming continues)
- (gasps)

(explodes)

(grunts)

(loud blast)

(underwater citizens screaming)

They've almost
reached the Hatima.

Get back inside!

- Sana, I can...
- Now!

(explodes)

(screaming continues)

- (birds chirping)
- (peaceful music)

(indistinct chatter)

(Alani grunts)

Can't believe you talked
me into stealing this.

If Papa finds out...

(coughs) Ay, man.

Relax, Alani.

NHELA: No one's even going
to notice that it's missing.

(door creaks)

(Alani inhales sharply)

- Careful, Nhela.
- (shushes)

I know what I'm doing.

- (clatters)
- (Alani gasps)

- (yelps)
- (sizzles)

I, uh... meant to do that.

Anyway, wait till you see
what I've figured out.

(burbling)

It's dying.

- NHELA: I can relate.
- That's not funny!

(cackles)

(plopping)

NHELA: Wait for it...

(Alani gasps)

(Nhela laughs)

Sodium Chloride.

It makes the Hatima grow cells
instead of eating at them.

Nhela, this is...

I'm a genius, I know.

(panting, whimpers)

- (loud blast)
- (Mati whimpers, grunts)

(panting)

(Mati whimpering)

(in Afrikaans) Hey,
Ntsako. Go get him!

(panting)

(King's servant grunts)

(in English) Baba, before
you say anything...

Silence!

At every turn, you find
a way to disobey me

and to mock my decrees.

Well, maybe if your decrees
weren't so mockable...

I said, silence!

It's bad enough that you
put yourself in danger,

but to expose your
sister as well?

Baba, I wasn't...

- KING: Hatima is not a plaything, Nhela.
- (whispers) Stop.

Especially not for...
(inhales sharply)

someone in your condition.

Alani, come.

(tuts) It's okay.

I've got more hidden away.

I can't do this anymore.

ALANI: I'm done.

Come on, Alani...

I said, "No!"

(frustrated groan)

(coughing)

(Nhela coughing heavily)

(tense music)

(both groan)

(water lapping)

(groaning)

(grunts, breathes heavily)

(Mati grunting)

(breathing heavily)

(Ntsako grunts,
breathing heavily)

NTSAKO: Get back. Get back!

You... you demon!

You call us "demons"? Us?

(object chiming)

What... what is this?

- (splashes)
- (Nhela gasps, grunts)

(Nhela panting)

- (distant exuberant music playing)
- (land citizens cheering)

(exuberant music continues)

(land citizens cheering)

(all gasping)

(land citizens murmuring)

(gasps)

Look, Baba, I knew it
would work. I knew it!

What have you done?

The Hatima! It saved me!

The sickness is gone.

ALANI: But...

your body...

I...

I guess it did a little
more than heal me.

(chuckles)

We've had it all wrong.

Hatima is meant for healing.

No one ever needs to
feel the kind of pain

- that I've...
- (King breathes shakily)

Nhela.

(land citizens murmuring)

- (all gasp)
- (baby crying)

Hey, hey.

It's okay.

Maybe... maybe we can fix this.

Make you normal again.

You mean, make me sick again?

Wait, no, no, no!

ALANI: Wait! I, I
didn't mean that!

Come back, Nhela!

Nhela!

ALANI: Nhela!

MATI: Did you know about this?

This is a lie.
(breathes heavily)

You aren't human.
None of you are.

Memory orbs don't lie.

And this one is ancient.

(breathes shakily) No!
You're trying to trick me.

- (grunts)
- (zaps)

ALANI: I don't understand.

Why can't you stay?

I wish I could, but everyone hates
us for what we've done to ourselves.

Besides, I can hear
the Hatima down there.

(inhales sharply)
It's calling us home.

(sobbing)

Oh. (shushing)

You know what I'm gonna
miss most about this place?

Fermented marula
fruit. (soft chuckle)

NHELA: And you.

(indistinct chatter)

Goodbye, little sister.

(somber music)

(water lapping)

(inhales sharply)
This can't be true.

It can't be.

Eh?

(shouts)

(Ntsako yells)

Huh? Oh.

(inhales deeply)

(grunts)

(Mati grunting)

(ethereal music)

(epic music)

(closing theme music)
