Episode 5 Scene by Scene

  1. 00:00: Harpoon to the Beast

    Lilith hits the water right as the sea creature opens its mouth to eat her. Captain Thorn fires a harpoon directly into the beast's mouth from the deck, stopping the monster before it can swallow her whole.

  2. 00:21: Burning the Line

    The crew gathers to haul in the heavy harpoon rope. They douse the thick line with whale oil. Captain Thorn sets the soaked rope on fire, and the flames travel down into the sea to burn the creature.

  3. 00:41: Sounding the Horn

    Captain Thorn brings a horn to his lips and blows hard across the water. The blast stirs up a powerful whirlpool on the surface. The swirling water forces the burned sea creature back down into the dark abyss.

  4. 00:57: Banishing Lucy on Arrival

    Thorn pulls Lilith out of the water and carries her onto the deck. He faces his sons and Lucy directly. Thorn announces that Lucy will be forced off the ship the moment they hit land, warning his sons against speaking.

  5. 01:46: A Knocker in the Rain

    Inside her cabin, Lilith packs her things and stares at the glowing blue dragon artifact. She resolves to leave. When a sudden knock rattles the door, she grabs a knife, opens it, and finds her brother standing outside.

Key Lines from Episode 5

“The second this ship reaches shore, you're getting off.”

Captain · Thorn shouts this at Lucy on deck after pulling Lilith from the ocean.

“One more word in that woman's defense, and you're leaving with her! My ship has room for smugglers and fugitives. It has no room for a poisonous bitch like you.”

Captain · Thorn warns his sons when they try to defend Lucy on the ship deck.

“Will he come the day after tomorrow? Even if he doesn't, I'm not turning back. I'm done with this ship.”

Lilith · Lilith thinks this to herself while packing her bags inside her private cabin.

How Episode 5 Ends

Lilith stands in the doorway of her cabin with a hidden knife in her hand. She looks out into the rain and sees one of her foster brothers smiling back at her from the wet deck. Did he come to make amends, or does he plan to hurt her again before she can escape?
