[beeping]

- Here, young lady.

- Thank you, sir.

Wow. Those pearls are beautiful.

Check out this necklace.

Wow. Sailors say that pearls

are the tears of mermaids.

They're just calcium carbonate.

- You're always so poetic.

- Let me explain.

When you put something

into an oyster,

like a big grain of sand,

the oyster protects itself

by covering it with layers

of calcium carbonate

- and the end result is a pearl.

- It also takes a little magic.

Yes, magic.

When I polish my pearls

I can make them more beautiful

by telling them

of the beautiful young ladies

who'll wear them one day.

But they're so expensive that

we could never afford them.

Nonsense, young lady.

You like this necklace?

Take these tickets.

You could win it

at the raffle tonight.

The raffle is tonight

on the beach?

I sure would like to win it.

Come on, Cleo, let's go.

Hey, girls, what you doing?

Bargain-hunting?

Ha-ha. What are you up to?

I'm testing my plane

down at the oyster farm pools.

It's gonna pull a banner

at tonight's celebration.

And a loop the loop.

Wow!

[laughs]

[plane crackles]

[Elliot] Oh!

Where are you going?

No!

Oh!

Oh, no, I don't believe it.

It's doing it again.

Hey, come back!

Give me a break, would you?

[Elliot groans]

I can't believe it, Cleo.

You really want

to win that necklace?

You'll look like

an old lady in it.

I know. Maybe it's because

I'm a mermaid,

but I really want that necklace.

[both chuckle]

Oh, amazing,

it's raining tickets!

- Wow!

- [Rikki] With those tickets,

- you'll have lots of chances.

- Thanks, girls.

- [muffled yelling]

- What is that noise?

Bernie. What's he doing here?

Oh, brother,

this is unbelievable.

Oh, phew! I've been

knocking on that window

for over an hour

in the blazing sun.

The whole time I was out there

getting a sunburn,

you were just yacking away.

Blah, blah, blah.

I might as well be invisible.

[Elliot] Whoa! [chuckles]

A hermit crab!

The new trendy pet.

He looks funny

with that little car.

How's it going with your plane?

Ready for tonight?

No way. It's a total disaster.

Look!

It went completely

out of control

and then crashed on the rocks.

It'll take two hours' work

to fix it.

What does he mean,

"with that funny little car?"

If you ladies are finally ready

to listen, there's an emergency.

One of the dolphin twins, Robby,

has been kidnapped.

We need your help

and right away.

Oh, I'm scared, I'm scared,

I'm scared, I'm scared.

They kidnapped Robby.

Maybe they'll come back

and kidnap us, too.

- I'm so scared.

- Calm down, Enzo.

There's no need to panic.

Come on, let's see

what we can find out.

[crabs] Snap, snap,

snap, snap, snap...

And when you got to the

finish line, Robby wasn't there?

No. But I got there first.

But then I turned around

and saw him caught in a net

and men were pulling him

into a boat.

- Did you see the boat?

- Of course.

- What was it like?

- Uh, black.

A speedboat with yellow

markings on the side,

like two mountains side-by-side,

or two shark fins.

Don't you usually communicate

with Robby by sonar?

That's the weird thing. He

called me once and then nothing.

Since then, there's been

no contact at all.

Maybe he's too far away

to hear me.

Robby, where are you?

We're not gonna give up

until we find Robby.

We need to organize ourselves

and track down those men.

Cleo, Rikki and I will get

extra help in Dolphin City.

At this end,

you've got to find clues

and have everyone on their

guard in case the boat returns.

- Bernie, can you take charge?

- You bet, Emma! I'm on it.

And if anything comes up,

Zita and I

will come and get you.

That's the whole story.

Lewis, you've absolutely

got to help us.

Easier said than done.

Robby could have been captured

by anybody.

A water park, scientist,

animal traffickers,

and taken far away.

I just don't know what I can do.

You can't hide a dolphin

in a bathtub.

The same for moving it.

Not just anybody can do that.

Well, I'd have to do

some in-depth research.

Exactly, Lewis. That's your

thing. In-depth research.

Come on, I know you can do it.

Say yes, please, Lewis. Please!

OK, alright,

I'll try and find him.

But be careful.

This could get dangerous.

Whoever took him aren't likely

to be Boy Scouts.

Don't worry.

We can take care of ourselves.

Remember, we have powers

that nobody else has.

Like this, for example.

- Cleo, stop!

- Come on, let's get serious.

Cleo, are you heading

to the Oceanic Center today?

Yeah. Why?

Ask Mr. Lambert

if he's heard anything

about dolphin trafficking.

And, Rikki,

you head down to the harbor

and ask around about the boat.

Lewis and I will start

searching the Internet.

OK, go, go, go!

Those men could come back

and snatch up any one of us.

We're going to need to post

guards along the coral reef.

Oh, I'm scared, I'm scared.

Come on, Enzo, just calm down.

We'll communicate

with claw signals.

OK, one last time.

What does this mean?

[all] Um...

I know, I know!

That's the one for lobster trap.

It certainly isn't.

You're just saying whatever.

It means, "I've seen a diver."

And this?

I know, I know!

Everybody head to the surface.

Actually, it means "everybody

take shelter." This is hopeless.

Let's take it again

from the top.

[groaning]

Dad? Wasn't today your day off?

It's been canceled.

We've been put on high alert.

We're trying to track down

some jewel smugglers

passing through Dolphin City.

We don't want

to risk losing them

so we've decided

to double surveillance.

See you tonight, honey.

Jewel smugglers

and a missing dolphin.

There might be a connection.

Come on now, Bobby. You can't

stay there crying all day.

That won't bring

your brother back.

What do you want me to do?

I've already looked everywhere,

all over the bay.

Nothing, not a trace.

If I were you,

I know what I'd do.

Oh, yeah? Tell me then.

There's someone who knows

all the secrets of the bay

and sees everything

that happens.

Really? Who?

- Can't you guess? You give up?

- [growls]

You're starting to annoy me.

This is no time for riddles.

Robby is in danger.

Who are you talking about?

Keep your fins off me,

you hooligan!

Just tell me!

If you really need me to

spell it out for you, it's Sue.

That young dolphin

needs to learn some manners.

And what makes you believe

I know where your brother is?

Well, I heard that...

I thought that.

Listen to what I have to tell

you, child. I won't repeat it.

What you're seeking faraway

is sometimes near you.

Simply follow the right path.

That's it? What right path?

What should I do?

If you're incapable

of understanding the answer,

then don't ask the question.

Ciao!

What? Oh...

[beeping]

There he is.

Give me the jewels.

This plan is genius, man.

The Coast Guard

will never be expecting this.

Alright, give the signal.

He's ready to head back

across the border.

[beeping]

OK, Teddy's back.

Well, Teddy,

did you see anything?

No, I didn't see anything.

OK, so Marcel

didn't see anything,

Carlotta didn't see anything,

nobody saw the boat.

There's no trace of Robby.

Now Bobby has disappeared, too!

It's terrible! Oh, I'm scared...

- Enzo!

- [all] Calm down!

Figures. There are speedboats

in every color

except for a black speedboat.

Bravo! Huh?

Mr. Lambert! Mr. Lambert.

- I wanted to ask you something.

- What can I do for you?

I wanted to know if water parks

were allowed to capture dolphins

- in the open sea.

- Never.

Parks only use dolphins

raised in captivity.

If needed, they buy them

from other parks.

It's all very controlled

and helps eliminate trafficking

- and poached animals.

- Ah! That's great.

Speaking of dolphins,

would you mind very much

- getting their protein feed?

- Yeah, sure, no problem.

The door's been broken in!

Is anyone here?

I don't believe this.

What happened here?

[gasps] The medicine

has been stolen!

Mr. Lambert! Mr. Lambert!

Hurry up.

Hey, you over there, stop!

No worries, that's fine.

Oh, you're sure?

OK, fine, thanks.

Nothing from the wildlife

protection organizations.

Nobody has heard anything

about dolphin trafficking.

Did you know that

the army uses dolphins

to patrol military ports?

They're able to detect a

presence or a suspicious object

and to set off an alarm

by triggering a beacon.

Do you think that Robby

was captured by the army?

I doubt it. They use dolphins

raised in captivity.

It's believed that wild ones

would be too difficult to train.

Take a look at this.

This other website explains that

a dolphin can be controlled

from a distance

with a special kind

of radio control unit

that allows them

to guide the dolphin's

- movement and direction.

- But why would anyone do that?

Darn, darn and double darn!

A technical problem?

My plane keeps going

out of control.

There must be some other

radio signal in the area

that's taking over your signal.

Your plane is following

the strongest signal.

But there's no one else

where I'm flying it.

Just rocks and, further out,

the oyster farms.

Don't worry about it.

I'll find you a remote control

- with a stronger signal.

- You will? For me?

Aw, thanks, Lewis!

I'll go fix my plane right away.

Thanks for helping him,

it's really nice of you.

- Hmm...

- What are you thinking about?

This whole remote control thing.

What if this mysterious signal

that was taking control

of Elliot's plane was that?

Isn't that a bit

science-fiction-y?

- [Rikki] Is anybody home?

- Oh, hey, Rikki.

So did you find out anything?

I checked out every boat

in the harbor

and none of them look like

the one we're looking for.

So what do we do now?

Let's go check out

your new theory.

At least we'll get

a little fresh air.

- What theory?

- That a remote control signal

that's interfering

with Elliot's plane

is also controlling Robby.

Isn't that a bit

science-fiction-y?

[beeping]

Welcome to home base,

little one.

So, what beauties have you

brought me? Lovely!

The fishing is good today,

it seems.

Magnificent, even.

What a brilliant idea

to use a dolphin.

Here, you deserve it.

What's the matter?

Don't like my sardine?

Or you don't like me?

- [gasps]

- [car door opening / footsteps]

He still won't eat.

He doesn't look very well.

He'll be doing a lot better

after we give him this.

Yes, but we have

to double the dose.

Our little business is

too profitable to abandon.

But first,

come check out these pearls.

It's the boat

they used to kidnap Robby.

Those are the two yellow

mountains that Bobby described.

And that looks like

the "M" from Momoa.

He's the one

who kidnapped Bobby!

Robby! Robby, it's me, Cleo.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

They're magnificent, boss.

OK, let's give that dolphin

his meds.

Hey! What are you doing there?

It's forbidden to come in here.

Wait a minute!

Hey, what's going on?

There was a girl out here.

She dove into the pool.

Then we got her cornered.

Yeah, the pools are cut off

from the sea.

Come on, there's some nets

in the pickup.

Quick, Robby,

let's get all this off.

Get out of here.

We can't. I've already tried.

You shouldn't have come, Cleo.

Come on, we can do this.

Follow me.

Elliot was on the rocks

by the beach,

just beside the oyster farms.

Will you be finished soon,

Lewis?

Just another moment, girls...

There.

OK. Let's go.

With this, we'll be able to

detect even the weakest signal.

What Sue told me makes no

sense, at least not to me.

Maybe Robby isn't far away and I

have to follow the right path.

- A lot of good that does me.

- Don't say that.

As far as any fish can recall,

Sue's never wrong.

If she says Robby isn't far,

he isn't.

But when I send out a signal,

he doesn't answer.

- Are you sure? Try again.

- OK.

[sonar]

[gasps]

Hey! Bobby just called me.

He's calling me.

[singsongy]

I heard him! I heard him!

I heard him! I heard him!

I heard him!

This isn't the time.

We've got to get out of here.

Ah-ha! We got her.

She's in the last pool.

The right path was just across

the bay. Sue was right.

I heard him loud and clear.

It's this way!

Hey, wait for us!

Aw, I don't believe this.

The signal was coming in

loud and clear a second ago.

- And now nothing.

- [Rikki] Hey, look!

I see a dolphin's fin

heading towards us, and fast.

- It's Bobby!

- With Bernie right behind him.

- What's up, guys?

- Girls! Girls! Sue was right.

Bobby heard Robby.

He's around here somewhere.

Come on, quick!

Bernie, calm down and tell us

everything from the start.

What do you mean, calm down?

I'm calm.

Sue told Bobby that

his brother was nearby

and Bobby heard his signal

coming from this direction.

This direction?

That's not possible.

That's the oyster farm. No one

can get through that fence.

The signal brought us here and

Bobby thinks he's here, too.

So let's go find him.

What am I supposed to do?

Hm! Well, you could try

growing flippers.

Call him again, Robby,

we need some help.

They've got us trapped

down here.

Don't worry, Cleo.

Bobby's coming. I hear him.

I think she's over here.

We're here! We need help!

Cleo's in danger!

Hurry, we've got to do something

or they'll capture her.

- Come on, help me!

- [both strain]

This isn't gonna work, Emma.

We have to use our powers.

I'll heat the grill,

you freeze it.

That'll make it more fragile.

Your turn, Emma.

Right. OK, Bobby,

it's your turn to play now.

That's it, I got her!

You imbecile. Are you sure

you saw a girl jump in there?

Yeah, she had black hair,

I'm positive.

[both laugh / cheer]

- [Cleo] Help!

- I'm going in.

Hang on, Cleo, I'm coming.

This kid has got more fight

in her than a swordfish.

I can't last much longer.

Come on, girly, you've got

to breathe sometime.

[Lewis over PA] This is

the Dolphin City Coast Guard.

We know what you're up to.

Give yourselves up,

you're surrounded!

We've got to get out of here!

Drop your weapons and come out

with your hands on your head.

Stop those motors immediately!

You can run, but you can't hide.

- There you go.

- Thanks.

You were amazing

as a policeman, Lewis.

I even believed you myself.

Maybe that's your true calling.

You can make fun of me

all you want,

but I'm the one

who saved the day.

Don't listen to that

little pest, Lewis.

I'll never forget

that you saved my life.

Oh! It's time for

the big raffle.

We don't want

to be late for the draw.

Don't tell me you're

still dreaming about

that pearl necklace.

No Momoa, no necklace.

You don't know that for sure.

Maybe he already gave it

to the mayor.

Anyway, there are lots of

other prizes to win.

And with all the tickets

you gave me,

I've certainly got

a winning chance.

And we'll end off this summer

celebration with fireworks!

While they're being setup,

it's time for the evening's

big special raffle.

The first prize

is a magnificent necklace

- offered by Momoa Jewelers.

- Mr. Mayor!

Mr. Momoa will be coming up

on this stage to present it.

Oh. Um...

It seems... I've just been told

that Mr. Momoa has been

unexpectedly detained.

So there will be no draw

for the first prize tonight.

But there are plenty of others.

Let the party begin!

[applause]

"Unexpectedly detained."

That's a good one. [laughs]

Sounds like your dad

caught himself a crook.

So long, necklace.

Oh, look over there!

It's Bobby and Robby.

[Rikki laughs]

[Lewis] Those two

sure look happy.

Yeah, not like you, Cleo.

Why so glum, girl?

You won yourself a new friend.

Leave her alone, Rikki.

She had her heart set

on that necklace.

Sorry, Emma, but I can't help

remembering the look

on the mayor's face

when he heard about Mr. Momoa.

That was worth all the pearls

in the world.

Speaking of pearls, Emma,

remember you told us

how an oyster makes a pearl?

Yeah. What about it?

I thought it might be fun

to grow oysters.

And it should only take about

a hundred to make a necklace.

Great idea, huh?
