INT. NAMOR'S CAVERN - CAVE SYSTEM - DAY

[Namor and Shuri stand at the shoreline. Shuri wears Salazar's ATMOSPHERIC DIVING SUIT from the attacked cargo ship.]

"That's freaky," Tony mutters.

"What?" Rhodey asks.

"That's the suit from the girl at the ship, right? What happened to the girl?" Everyone realizes what the billionaire is getting at.

NAMOR: Can you hear me princess?

SHURI: Yes. The earrings work as amplifiers?

[Namor smiles.]

SHURI (CONT'D): Brilliant.

[They descend into the water.]

EXT. DEEP OCEAN - DAY - LATER

[Namor and Shuri swim in darkness. Shuri looks around and can see nothing.]

EXT. TOWN SQUARE - TALOCAN - DEEP OCEAN - DAY - CONTINUOUS

[Eventually, Shuri can see a large light up ahead and suddenly the large CITY OF TALOCAN and its RESIDENTS come into view. The lanterns in the city are BIOLUMINESCENT.]

Many people around the hall make sounds of awe as the underwater city comes into view on the screen.

[Awed, Shuri watches people going about their daily lives, noticing their skin is BROWN and not blue.]

NAMOR: Now you see... We are you and you are us.

[She sees a BALLGAME being played and KIDS passing them.]

[Shuri processes this as her gaze falls on an UNDERWATER GARDEN of kelp, seaweed, underwater maize and the blueish Weber Azul-like PLANT the Shaman emerged from the cenote with in Namor's flashback. A cheerful group of TALOCANIL YOUTH work the crops.]

SHURI: (astonished) You can grow corn underwater?

NAMOR: They are teaching each other, playing and working all at once.

SHURI: Can we go there?

NAMOR: Maybe another time. It is a sacred place. This way.

[Namor leads Shuri through the city toward a Mayan Mountain structure. A SASTUN (an underwater light source) GLOWS in the water above it with the same quality of bioluminescent light as the city's lanterns.]

[They stop and Shuri marvels at it as the pedals of the pyramid open and the sun rises from it.]

"Wow."

NAMOR (CONT'D): It is called the Sastun. We use it for our rituals.

SHURI: It's beautiful.

[Shuri thinks for a beat, realizes—]

SHURI (CONT'D): And it's made of Vibranium.

NAMOR: Yes. In the depths of the ocean, I brought my people the sun. (beat) I know you wish to convince me to not take the life of the scientist. But now you see what I have to protect. For this, I would kill a thousand scientists, if it meant keeping them from finding us.

"I see where he's coming from, but..."

"It's not morally correct."

"Yep."

EXT. PARKING LOT - MORNING

[A MAN in a sharp suit and mustache hustles toward his rental car. Clearly in a hurry, he fumbles with his key fob before the BEEP BEEP indicates that the doors are open.]
