Part 4/10:
The narrative deepens as the military examines the captured mermaid, revealing her hybrid nature—human-like in many respects, yet distinctly not of this world. Meanwhile, Ben, alongside his girlfriend Maddie, also a marine biologist, stumbles upon a torn fish casting shadows on their investigation. The revelation leads to a sudden, strange encounter on the road when a naked woman unexpectedly appears before Ben, whom he learns is the mermaid they had only begun to comprehend.
