Nori, Misha.

A footprint?

Yeah. They're huge.

Way too big for any of the animals on Rock Island.

Or people.

Huge feet. Purple ooze. You don't think... The mantle?

The spotted purple...

cave -dwelling beast that devours people? The legend of the mantle could

her rock island for centuries.

My Uncle Charlie used to say... What was that?

What was that?

The tracks lead up this way.

Towards that cave?

We should check it out.

Uh -oh. You're the most terrified person I've ever met.

Just scared of ice cubes and weather and springs.

But somehow, you want to go into that cave with a giant purple creature that

eats humans.

Oh, no.

She's going to kill me?

Nori, you are the most sceptical person on the Earth. I don't think that's true.

You don't believe any of the island's mysteries, but somehow you're not

this out or cracking jokes.

Misha, you're always at food camp at this time, but you skipped it today.

Why?

It's like you really want me to go into that cave.

Can you at least pretend like it's a... Surprise!

Happy birthday, Taylor!

Lila, this is for me. I had no idea.

All right, who told her? It was me, Lila. I did not deviate from the script.

You had me for a while with the footprint.

Really? I just wanted to give my clue -loving stepsister a mystery to solve.

Like your Uncle Charlie should tell you about.

Surprise party fail!

We'll unpack this later.

It's not a fail.

It's awesome.

You like what I did with the footprint, right?

Blood sugar levels dropping.

Must open.

Piñata! Ellis!

Strong case of speculation.

How? It takes more than intuition to work a situation out.

It's right before your eyes.

Can you feel it? It's right between the lines. Try to reveal it. So look until

you find it. All of the pieces put them together.

Now you see it's rather than a mystery.

in wasp training.

It's not my fault wasp nests look like piñatas. It could have happened to

anyone. Between that and your daughter's razor -sharp powers of deduction, the

party did not last.

Hmm. Okay, there's a lot I didn't understand there, but nothing that can't

solved by pizza.

Dad, is that supposed to be Taylor?

It's fine, sweetheart.

Yeah, it's awesome.

I didn't mean it, Dad.

I want to start again.

All right, I'm going to work to check on the jellyfish.

Call me when you're done, Da Vinci.

Bye, Mom.

Maybe we need olives.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'll be back.

Taylor!

Package for you.

Hey, Ellen.

Who's it from? A secret mire.

Cargo shorts are us.

Uncle Charlie.

But I thought... Isn't he... It's okay.

We all know the deal.

He's missing.

Guys, look at the postmark. The exact day his plane disappeared.

Maybe he got lost in the map. That was five years ago. How does that work?

Cool. You think it's treasure?

Happy 14th birthday, Taylor. Hold the phone.

How did he know it arrived today?

And how did he send it to this address?

We only moved to Rock Island a year ago.

Sorry, come on! Everyone, behind me!

I'm playing for this moment.

Please,

not exploding!

To world's best needs.

Inside this chest are secrets of the island's mysteries. They cannot fall

the wrong hands.

I believe you have what it takes to open it.

If not, the contents will be destroyed four hours after the timer is activated.

Uh, yep.

That's activated.

Um... Happy birthday, Taylor?

Maybe it's a joke.

He wouldn't do that.

You have what it takes. That has to be the key, right?

Makes sense, except I don't have it or have any idea where it is.

Focus. Take it one quarter of the time. This isn't a football match.

There's a final siren in four hours.

So the good news is, no bomb.

I think. I think we knew Taylor's uncle wouldn't explode her.

But... How will he destroy the contents if the timer runs out? Uncle Charlie was

the king of contraptions.

Where would he put the key?

Maybe your mum might know. Charlie was her brother. Is her brother.

There's no time to waste.

I have no idea.

Your uncle had a... Weird sense of humour.

But you know this?

It doesn't mean he's... You've seen the card.

And the date. It has to mean something.

I just don't want you to get your hopes up.

It's been five years.

He's not coming back.

I just need to open my present.

Taylor.

I put some of his old things in a storage shed near the milk sack.

Talk to Gillian.

It's not much, but... Thanks, Mum.

This hasn't been open for years.

Your uncle was a very special man.

Well, if you kids need anything else, you just let me know, okay? Thanks, Nan.

Thanks, Julian.

Where are you hiding, Key?

This was his plane.

The Bermuda Queen.

Charlie was obsessed with all the boats and planes that were missing on Rock

Island. Said it was more than a coincidence.

Then, one day he took a flight and... and missing himself.

It's not a coincidence.

Everyone thinks his plane crashed in the storm, but I... I don't.

How cute is Minnie Taylor?

Look at that smile.

We don't have time to...

The thing you have to remember about this island, Taylor, is that nothing is

it first seems.

Can you see it, Uncle Charlie?

Well, keep looking, kiddo.

Happy birthday, Kayla.

The key's at the waterfall.

How'd you figure that?

Uncle Charlie took me there when I visited the island on my ninth birthday.

There's this amazing hiding spot in a cave behind a waterfall.

Misha, what's this place called?

The photo's not great, and there are heaps of waterfalls on Rock Island. We

don't have time to check all of them.

Yes, use that fire, girl.

I zoomed in on the plant from the photo.

Afloratica, endemic to the southern part of the island.

Then we're talking Keisha Falls. We can make that on foot.

Nice one, guys. Let's do this.

Okay, we need to hike to the base of the waterfall, then climb.

Come on, people.

Move it.

Whoa, Lila, look at you.

Thanks. He means your sunburned. What?

When did this happen? Maybe when you were in the sun.

Maybe you should stay back out of the sun.

In the shade.

I am feeling weird.

And itchy.

We have less than an hour.

Alice, can you stay and keep an eye on her?

Misha, Nori, let's get moving.

I need to open the chest before it's too late.

Move it! Move it!

So, what do you think...

Chest, exactly. Uncle Charlie was an adventurer who devoted his life to

the mysteries of the island. And whatever's in there is going to be

No, no, no!

Am I right in assuming this boulder is not the key? This is the entrance.

At least it fell before we were standing here.

We've got to look at the positives.

I can move it.

I can move it.

I can!

What's another way in?

I will have to leave the chest here.

Oh, you're not thinking... Of course she is.

Are you sure there's not another way in?

One less wet spidery?

Just so you know, I couldn't move that boulder.

Can I get you another present?

Games console?

Pony?

Check it out.

Cool, huh?

Guys, I'm absolutely not going back that way.

This is amazing.

I started to think I dreamt this place.

Well done, birthday girl.

You found the key.

Yeah, baby!

Plenty of time to spare as well.

It's empty.

Maybe someone took it? Maybe this place got flooded and washed away.

This can't be happening. It has to be here somewhere.

Alice?

Mantook. It's the Mantook. Come quick. I'm not falling for that again.

Please, you have to help. Ellis, I don't have time for a party.

Taylor, you need to get back here.

Now.

She's turning into a Mantook.

And I thought I had trouble letting go of a joke. It's not a joke.

Taylor, what's happening to me? Have you eaten anything that might have caused a

skin reaction? You don't really believe this, do you?

Remember, the clock is literally ticking. She locked herself in our

two days for a single zit.

She wouldn't make herself purple.

Exactly.

Light blue?

Maybe. Bylaw.

The question.

Right. Did I eat anything weird?

Just some chips from the party.

Okay, a lot of chips.

Same, and I'm not purple.

What are you doing? We need to tie her up before she turns on us.

It's getting aggressive.

Did you go anywhere we didn't?

No. I mean, I spent hours in the cave decorating before you all turned up.

there's something there. Let's break back and check it out. We might not need

to.

Were you vlogging?

So, when you're setting up a surprise party, lighting is key.

There.

Ew.

I didn't even know I did that. Maybe the purple oomph is causing a reaction.

Where'd you get it? The man took.

I made it with purple dye.

Flour and glycerin. But I didn't put any in the cave. The Mantook lives in a

cave! Guys, the Mantook's just a story people tell to scare each other.

Misha's Nana uses it to sell merch.

It's a story we use to get Taylor to her party, remember?

What if I accidentally came across the cave of the real Mantook? Uncle Charlie

always said there was something true about the myth.

Nothing is as it first seems.

Maybe instead of getting eaten by it, you're somehow consumed by it?

Give her more tips before she eats us all.

We should take her to a doctor. A doctor can't help. These aren't normal

symptoms. This is something from the island.

Think about it.

Uncle Charlie sent me the secrets of the island's mysteries.

If I'm right, whatever's inside could save you.

Come on. I know we're in the right place. The key has to be around here

somewhere.

I went through the cabin, but...

No luck. I picked all the birds' nests. I went to the river. But we couldn't

find anything.

Taylor, what do we do?

I'm sorry.

What if I stay like this forever?

The thing you have to remember about this island, Taylor,

is that nothing He's at his first meeting.

You found it.

No!

What? Where are you going?

Taylor, what are you doing?

She's not going to jump, is she?

Don't jump!

I like it. Can someone explain what is happening?

The key isn't at the waterfall.

The waterfall is the key.

I think that's what Uncle Charlie was trying to tell me. I think she's going

throw it. I like it. But if you're wrong, you could ruin whatever's inside.

And I'll be purple forever.

And it is not my color.

Things aren't what they first seem.

You're running out of time.

This is a bad idea, Taylor.

Please.

It was a mistake. Taylor?

Please tell me it worked.

Is it still ticking?

Yeah.

Neat. There's a special compartment behind the keyhole.

And when it's filled with water, at the same time it's filled with a pressure

force, it triggers the lock mechanism and deactivates the timer.

There was actually some accident of some kind. See, if you look closely at

the... Alice!

Not now.

It's in the bag.

Whoa. What is it?

It's Uncle Charlie's journal.

Look. Notes on all his adventures.

Mysteries he discovered.

Oh, yep.

And look.

Lila, there's a whole page on the mantook.

This myth started centuries ago, but the real man -took isn't a monster at all.

It's a rare, deep -sea jellyfish.

When stung, humans develop an unusual skin reaction.

They can only be reversed by topical treatment of a clonia kelp.

I can't believe my nails on a jellyfish.

Gross! So, topical treatment means what, exactly? We wrap you.

In this.

You know, the purple's kind of growing on me.

Yeah, literally.

My skin is so soft. I might have to do this whole process again as a regular

cleanse.

Joking! I know it wasn't exactly what we planned, but you did get to sew two

mysteries on your birthday.

The man -took thing was more science.

Skin reaction to the jellyfish sting. Except what were deep -sea jellyfish

in a cave in the middle of the island?

Well, um, maybe... Should we put a timer on him? Faith and Nori, this island is

full of mysteries.

And now we can explore them all.

Sunny finally has a piece that he's happy with.

Peggy, you found the key.

Happy birthday, Taylor.

Now, last warning, that pizza is being devoured by elephant, Misha.

One sec.

To my amazing niece,

there's a lot about this island that you won't understand at first.

But keep exploring, keep searching, and keep believing.

If you do, I'm certain we'll see each other again.

Now be careful.

There are those on the island that cannot be trusted.
