03x14 - Mermaid Magic

[bunniefuu]

THEME SONG: I've got a special
power that I'm

not afraid to use.

Come on, this is my adventure.

This is my fantasy.

It's all about living in the
ocean, being wild and free.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep,
blue underworld.

Land or sea, I've got the
power if I just believe.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep,
blue underworld.

Land or sea, the world's
my oyster.

I'm the pearl, no
ordinary girl.

-Well, I don't know about
you, but I'm hungry.

-It'd be a shame to leave.

That was fantastic out there.

-It helps having someone who
knows where to look.

-Thanks.

Hey, what kept you?

We were just deciding whether
or not to go for lunch while

we waited for you.

-Well, some of us can't spend
every day messing

around in the water.

We've got real jobs to do.

-He was only joking.

-My mouth filled up
with water, and

some went up my nose.

It did.

-Hey, that can happen.

-Well, I don't need
you to confirm it.

-OK.

Well, I guess now's a really
good time to go lunch then.

-Definitely.

-Yeah, let's go.

-Us people without tails might
like a bit more of a break.

-I'm good to go.

-You sure?

-I don't know about you, but
I'm ready for lunch.

-I don't know why we had
to ditch the others.

-Well, I hardly get you
to myself these days.

Not without him hanging
around, anyway.

-Will?

-The guy acts like
he's one of you.

-He likes swimming with us.

What's wrong with that?

-This is a serious secret
you guys have got.

Well, how serious
does he take it?

-This has nothing to do with
the fact that he's a better

diver than you are?

-But--

-I know, I know.

It was a faulty mask.

Come on, Zane.

Chill.

You don't need to be
so competitive.

Will's all right.

You just need to give
him a chance.

-That was so cool out there.

-Yeah, it was.

-Hey, guys, don't you think
we've been so worried about

the water attacking us lately
we never actually found out

what happened with this rock?

-Well, the rock hasn't
been a threat.

-Yeah, but the rock swallowed up
the torch the same time the

tentacle appeared.

-So they're connected?

-Maybe.

The rock might give us a clue as
to what's really going on.

-Yeah, I guess.

[phone rings]

-Yeah, Soph.

Yeah, I do remember
we had training.

I'll-- uh, I'm kind of in the
middle something now.

I'll go soon.

-What do you mean "soon"?

Will?

-Problem?

-He could be a champion.

He could make some real money,
but he's not training half the

time he needs to.

And when I get a sponsor
interested, he blows him off.

-Maybe he's just not
that competitive.

-He used to be.

-Will's that good at diving?

-I had a sponsor ready to pull
his checkbook out, but Will

decided he was too tired
to try to impress him.

He doesn't seem to get it.

I'm trying to help him.

-Maybe I can too.

[text message]

-Well, I'd really like to stick
around and help you guys

check this out, but Sophie's
just texted.

-Oh.

-She got me a meeting with
another sponsor.

She'll k*ll me if
I don't show up.

-She found you another
one already?

-Yeah, that's Sophie.

You guys stay as long
as you like.

-Thanks for your help, Will.

-Hey, I live to chip.

-"Live to chip."
He's so funny.

OK, well, maybe that
wasn't so funny.

But he's really--

-Cute.

Come on, we've got work to do.

-He's my sponsor?

-He's offering a weekly
allowance, competition entry,

new gear if you need it--

everything you need to focus
on this and win.

-Have you told him?

-Yes.

-Don't worry.

We don't need to be best buddies
to make this work.

I put up the money,
and you win.

That's the arrangement.

-I don't dive just to win.

I do it because I love
it down there.

ZANE [OFFSCREEN]: Really?

-And loving being down there
is what makes him so good.

-Well, there's a difference
between

being good and winning.

And before I invest in
a man, I need to know

he's got what it takes.

-So we'll show you.

We can go out now, can't we.

-Yeah, sure.

-I suppose.

All right.

I'll organize a boat.

-Great.

Come on.

-Nate.

You and your mate still
got your SCUBA gear?

-Yeah.

Do you want to go diving?

-No.

Fish boy over there needs
to be taught a lesson.

-This thing sure is hard.

-What are you guys doing?

-Cleo thinks that there
might be something

special about the rock.

-And there's only one
way to find out.

And this isn't it.

It didn't even leave a mark.

-Well, it's from
the Moon Pool.

How about I try a little
mermaid magic on it?

-It's worth a shot.

-Stop.

Stop.

There's something in there.

-What is that?

-There's a marker
every 10 meters.

The diver releases the marker so
we know how deep he's gone.

-Doesn't seem that
difficult to me.

-It's the most grueling
sport there is.

-Not from where I'm standing.

-He's lowering his heart rate.

He goes through this routine
before every dive.

It's very important.

-Well, I thought you just take
a breath and jump in.

-Ready?



That's a good first dive.

-That's it?

-It was just a warmup.

-Why does he even
need a warmup?

You jump in, and you sink.

I mean, I could do that.

-It's easy to say if you've
never done it before.

-Well, I bet could do it.

I mean, you just swim down
the line, right?

-Yeah, something like that.

But it can be dangerous if you
don't know what you're doing.

You need to slow your heart rate
down, get your breathing

under control even before
you even think of--

We should not have
let him do that.

-He's been down there
a long time.

-Huh, he made it to 20 meters.

That's good.

-That's not the 20-meter
marker.

That's 40?

-40?

Are you OK?

-I need a hand.

-You didn't get to 40 meters.

-Well the marker
says different.

Unless you're calling
me a cheat.

You know, maybe I should just
sponsor myself to enter this

competition.

I'd do just as well.

-Diving to that depth is not
something you just do.

-Oh, you mean it's something
you don't do.

-You wanna know what I can do?

-Will.

-Then watch this--



-Later today, after you've
worked up to it.

-No, right now.

You want to know what
you'll get for

your sponsorship money?

Watch this.

-You can't just dive!

Your routine!

Will!

He's not ready for this.

-Wow.

-He should be there by now.

That's the 60-meter marker!

He made it!

-Ah, I guess so.

-You wanted to know if
he's competitive.

That's competitive.

Where is he?

-Well, it's gotta take a while
to get back from that far

down, doesn't it?

-Not this long.

He should be back up by now.

You have to go down
and get him.

-I can't get down
to 60 meters!

-Well, he could be most
of the way up.

You can get down to


-OK, let's see what else we
can find out about it.

-You won't find anything.

CLEO [OFFSCREEN]:
How do you know?

-It's the same crystal
as mine.

-Where did you get yours from?

-It was at the bottom
of the sea pool

where I became a mermaid.

I've worn it ever since.

-Wow.

They're exactly the same,
just from opposite

sides of the world.

-No sign of him.

Hey, what are you doing?

-What's it look like?

[phone rings]

-It's probably Zane hassling me
about why I'm not at work.

-Don't answer.

-Oh, I better.

He's grumpy enough as
it is at the moment.

Hello?

Say what?

Slow-- slow down.

I can't understand you.

What?

Where are you?

-Will, please.

Will!

I was so scared.

I thought you were gone!

-Gimme your hand.

Gimme your hand.

-So yours is from the bottom of
a pool in Ireland, and this

is from inside a rock
from the Moon Pool.

-Yet they're virtually
identical.

They're beautiful.

-Oh, but what does it mean?

They're from opposite
sides of the world.

They're obviously connected.

Like we are.

-Connected by magic?

SOPHIE [OFFSCREEN]:
What happened?

-Made 60 meters.

SOPHIE [OFFSCREEN]: I know.

-I went too deep too fast.

SOPHIE [OFFSCREEN]:
How did you get

back up to the surface?

-An angel.

-What?

-An angel rescued me.

-No, no.

Hallucinations, lack of
oxygen to your brain.

You were seeing things.

-Right.

I--

I blacked out and must've
dreamt it.

-You blacked out?

Don't ever dive like that
again without preparing.

You were so lucky.

Take it easy.

How's your head feeling now?

-Still aching.

-I don't know why they didn't
keep you in hospital for

observation.

-I think they knew I'd
get better care here.

-Seeing you become champion
means a lot, but not as much

as just seeing you.

[knocking]

-Hey!

We heard there'd been
an accident.

What happened?

-It wasn't an accident,
and he needs to rest.

-Soph, it's OK.

-What do you mean it
wasn't an accident?

-I didn't prepare properly
for the dive.

It was my own fault.

-No, it wasn't.

-Where's Rikki?

SOPHIE [OFFSCREEN]: Will,
you need to rest.

RIKKI [OFFSCREEN]:
Are you insane?

He could've drowned!

-I know.

It was a stupid thing to do.

-Stupid?

Your idiot ego.

You just had to prove you
were better than him.

-Well, he didn't have to take
me up on the offer.

-Don't even think about
putting this onto him.

-I'm not, OK?

I'm just saying that--

that I didn't mean it to
turn out like that.

-You never do.

-Wh-- where are you going?

-To see Will.

Alone.

-Rikki.

OK, I know I messed up.

But we're OK, aren't we?

-Right now, I'm more
interested in

seeing if Will's OK.

[knocking]

-How are you feeling?

-OK.

-I just wanted to let you know
that, um, Zane OK'd the

sponsorship.

-What?

-I argued an extra 50%,
and he agreed.

-Thanks.

-It's the least he could do.

-You saved my life.

-I just did what any mermaid
would have done.

-But it wasn't any mermaid.

It was you.

I remember.

You were like an angel.

-Uh, I don't know how
many people would go

along with you on that.

-Well, it's what I think.

-Are you sure you're OK?

-I've never been better
in my life.

-I should probably get
back to the cafe.

-Look, don't go yet.

-No, seriously.

Busy night and everything.

I should--

I should go.

-Yeah, OK.

Well, I'll see you around.

-Yeah, definitely.

Take it easy.

THEME SONG: We've got to stick
together, 'cause the best

things come in three.

I want it to last forever, all
the magic and fun at sea.

So come on, this is
our adventure.

There's no telling
where we'll go.

But all I want is just to
live amongst the H2O!

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep,
blue underworld.

Land or sea, I've got the
power if I just believe.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep,
blue underworld.

Land or sea, the world's
my oyster.

I'm the pearl, no
ordinary girl.

Come along, it just
gets better.

So much to do and just so little
time. 'Cause it all

depends on whether you want to
leave the land above behind.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep,
blue underworld.

Land or sea, the world's
my oyster.

I'm the pearl, no
ordinary girl.
