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

not afraid to use.

So 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.

[music playing]

-[screams]

-[sigh]

-What happened to you?

You're going to be late for school.

-Huh?

-Are you OK?

-A water tentacle did this to me.

-What?

It's not a full moon.

-OK, it was a dream.

But it was really disturbing.

-OK.

Well, bad dreams are often triggered by rich food.

What did you eat last night?

-No, this was caused by fear, Lewis.

The next full moon's really close.

-Don't worry, because I'm going to get to the bottom of

this whole attacking water thing.

-You sure?

-Absolutely.

I've got to do something about it, and I've got to do

something about it now.

-Just you, Lewis?

Wait.

-No, no.

I can do this.

Let me.

-No.

I want to help.

[engine revving]

-Well you've got to admit it, man.

When I've got an idea--

-You're supposed to be working.

-I am.

Look, my new investment.

-Our business is a cafe.

-Yeah, we're diversifying.

We now run a dirt bike hire business as well.

-And how much is that going to cost?

-OK.

I paid cash.

All right?

I got a good deal.

They'll generate enough cash flow to pay for themselves.

-Oh, really?

-Really.

-Hey.

You know I'm a wiz with deals.

And wait till you hear my bigger idea.

Hey!

Hey, you want to watch the bikes?

All right?

I paid a lot of money for them.

I don't want them damaged.

-Wasn't planning to.

-Just ignore Zane.

-Already do.

After you.

-It's a motocross race.

The cafe is sponsoring it.

And first prize, 1,000 big ones.

I'm putting up the prize money.

And just so you know, I'm entering too.

-Uh, Zane.

-Just a minute, babe.

Nate's got a question.

-Yes.

Um, can anyone enter, Zane?

-Thank you.

No.

Entry is restricted to those of you who can afford to pay

the $200 entry fee.

-Well, we can't have 100 idiots on bikes.

That would be chaos.

Exactly.

The fee is high to weed out the pretenders and

troublemakers.

But the big time rewards go to the big time players.

Now who's in?

Let's see some hands.

You should enter.

-Can't afford it.

-Can't afford to win?

-Don't have a bike anyway.

-No problem.

Bike hire is included in the entry fee, everyone.

-You're entering?

-I would, but 200 bucks--

it's a bit much.

I'm trying to save for new dive gear.

-If you win 1,000, you'll get there even quicker.

-Even so.

-But what if I helped you with the entry fee?

-No, I couldn't.

-Why not?

What's a little loan between friends?

We are friends, aren't we?

-Sure.

-What's the big deal then?

You can actually ride, can't you?

-You started already.

-Oh, hey.

This waterfall is the only new thing here, so it must be part

of the problem.

-You think?

-Yeah, I figured if we trace the source of the water, then

we're one step closer to nailing this water tentacle.

-Good theory.

-Yeah.

The only problem is it--

it has no source.

-What?

-It's flowing straight out of rock, solid rock.

[sigh]

-Hey, what are you doing?

-I thought I'd take a look at the accounts.

I like reading, especially fiction.

-Yeah, this stuff's complicated.

You wouldn't get it.

-I get that we're in debt up to our ears.

I get that we're virtually broke.

And you're giving up money for motocross races, money we

don't even have.

Have you completely lost it?

-I'm doing it to make money, Rikki.

-By giving away $1,000?

Zane, we don't have $1,000.

We should work our way out of this by doing what we do best,

which is the cafe and the band.

-Well, sometimes you have to spend money to make money.

All right?

I'm from a business family.

I know how this works.

Believe me.

-Oh, I get it.

So because I've never had any money, you think I can't even

add up?

-Babe, I've been riding for years.

I know everyone I'm competing against.

And believe me, I'm going to win that race.

There won't be a payout, only a huge net profit.

You've got to trust me on this.

-The thing is, this water appears normal.

And according to this, it is normal.

-Just plain water?

-Yes.

-So why did it attack me?

-I wish I knew.

-We're missing something.

-Cleo, this is frustrating me too, OK?

I don't think we're going to find anything else here.

-Well, that's easy for you to say.

You're not the one getting attacked.

-Is Zane around?

-I don't know

Have a look.

-Will.

So you in?

-Yup, he's in.

-Is she paying for you?

-You got a problem with that?

-Money is money.

It all smells sweet to me.

Can you count this?

-Count it yourself.

-Let me give a tip.

Your average motocross bike isn't a scooter.

-Zane.

-I'm just saying, it can be tricky.

So if you need some advice--

-That's cool.

I learned a bit when I was young.

-Oh, yeah.

Minibikes are total different, man.

-No, it was a trail bike.

My family was sailing through the Pacific.

We stopped off at Santiago, went biking through the Andes

for six months.

-Mountain range.

-Some pretty steep trails up there, so I

picked up a few tricks.

-I need to win this thing.

-Anything can happen in a race, Zane, especially if I'm

watching your back.

-Nate, that is so true, so true.

-Cleo, I'm sorry.

I may have drawn a blank here.

But I promise you, I am going to get to the bottom of this.

-I've had a thought.

-Yeah?

-Well, Will has seen this place at its most weird.

So maybe we should talk to him.

-What?

No, been there, done that.

Besides, aren't we trying to keep him

off the mermaid trail?

-But if he can help--

-Cleo, no.

OK?

It's too dangerous.

Besides, I can figure this out by myself.

NATE (OFFSCREEN): Hey, you want to come along, see me

race?

-Oh, yeah?

You really think you've got a chance?

-You know, you don't have to be a winner to be a winner.

-Actually, you do.

-No, I mean winning isn't everything

-Well, think like that, you'll never win.

-No.

That's--

no, it's like the band, isn't it?

I mean, if someone else wins, but you've done your part to

help that along, then the team's won, right?

-You've been a busy boy.

-Yeah.

Well, you've got to stay one step ahead of the opposition.

-And knowing you, you'd do anything to stay

that one step ahead.

Am I right?

-Yeah.

Well, that's just business.

We are talking about business, right?

-You tell me.

-Well, what else would be talking about?

-You tell me.

-Have I just stepped into a parallel dimension here?

-Maybe.

But in this dimension, Nate can't keep his mouth shut.

-Whatever Nate said is rubbish.

-I'm really glad you could come to dinner, Will.

-I'm surprised to be invited.

-Oh, you know, you're the new guy at school.

And you did me that favor at the marine park.

And I thought, hey, I haven't even asked you to dinner yet.

-She's after something.

-The meal was great, by the way.

-It's mainly just heat and serve.

When dad's away, Cleo's hopeless.

-Kim, don't you have homework to do?

-See?

She's worried I'll embarrass her.

But it's always the other way around.

-Hey, Cleo.

I just had another thought about--

hey, Will.

-I invited Will to dinner.

-Oh, really?

-I'd be a bit jealous if I were you too, Lewis.

He's cute.

-It's not like that.

Will and I-- we were just having a chat.

-I'm sorry.

Will, can you please excuse us for a second?

-Sure.

-So while they're busy fighting, you can tell me a

bit about yourself.

-What are you doing?

-I need to find out what he knows.

-Cleo, this is really dangerous.

-Yeah, well, so are the tentacles.

I'm not just going to wait around for them

to come after me.

-You think that I don't get that.

-What's your problem?

Why won't you let me help?

Don't you think I can?

-It's-- it's not that.

-Then what is it?

-Will, there's this one guy Cory.

You know Cory, right?

-No.

-No?

Really?

No?

Anyway--

-OK, first Rikki was attacked.

You might be next.

I get.

I'm just--

I'm trying to protect you.

I'm your boyfriend.

It's kind of my job.

-So that's this is about?

-Yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

-Because it's a little bit--

you know, it's a bit--

-Well, that's very sweet, Lewis.

But we're a team, OK?

-Always.

-Well, then let's start working like one.

-Word around the school is that you're an unreal diver.

Maybe you could teach me one day.

-Maybe.

-Kim, if you go upstairs, I'll give you 10 bucks.

-Make it 20.

-Done.

-So Will, Cleo tells me that you've been [inaudible] a

little bit difficult since your accident at Mako Island.

I just thought it might help to talk about it.

-Yeah, I don't really like to.

I'm beginning to think it was all a dream.

-So what happened?

[sigh]

-I remember the full moon was starting to rise.

There was this shimmer.

Then--

then suddenly, out of nowhere, there was this waterfall with

these bands of pulsing energy going through it.

And I can't explain it.

I'm just telling you what I saw.

-Now, the waterfall--

-What did it do, exactly?

-It fired bolts of water into the pool.

-Oh, man.

-It sounds pretty freaky.

I know.

But that's what I saw.

That's--

that's when the--

the column of water rose up, some kind

of creature or something.

Don't ask me why I was stupid enough to try and touch it.

I don't remember any more.

[sigh]

-The water-- you said it was shooting from the waterfall

into the pool?

-And that's what made the thing you saw?

-Yeah.

-Wow.

-So what's for dessert?

-Dessert?

-Dessert?

-Dessert!

Uh, don't you-- don't you have a big motorbike race tomorrow?

-Yes, you do.

-You don't want dessert.

-Will, you should get an early night if you want to race.

-Thank you for coming.

-Well, thanks for inviting me.

-Oh, any time.

See you.

Good luck tomorrow.

[chuckles]

[music playing]

-Is this thing working?

[beep]

-Oh.

Yes.

-Too loud?

-[inaudible]

stay in touch.

How cute.

-May the best man win.

ZANE (OVER RADIO): You know what you have to do.

NATE (OVER RADIO): Yes, Zane.

Don't worry about it.

RIKKI (OFFSCREEN):

Contestants, start your engines.

[engines revving]

-Ready, set, go!

[engines revving]

ZANE (OVER RADIO): OK, Nate.

Keep him back there.

NATE (OVER RADIO): No problem.

-Hey, look out!

-Whoops, sorry!

[cheering]

[music playing]

ZANE (OVER RADIO): What happened?

Slow him down.

-Watch it.

NATE (OVER RADIO): I can't hold him back.

ZANE (OVER RADIO): At the next corner, cut him off.

Cut him off.

NATE (OVER RADIO): I've got him.

I've got him!

ZANE (OVER RADIO): Just take him out.

[music playing]

-[inaudible]

-Ah!

[groaning]

ZANE (OVER RADIO): What happened?

Did you get him?

NATE (OVER RADIO): Not quite.

ZANE (OVER RADIO): You idiot.

[cheering]

[cheering]

[groaning]

-Face it, Zane.

You lost.

-What was that out there?

-Some people have a way of attracting accidents.

We'll have the official presentation in a couple of

minutes, everyone.

-Will.

Hey, Will.

Well done.

Just a quiet word.

It was a great race today.

You did-- you did really well.

-Thanks.

-It's just there's--

there's been a bit of a technical hitch.

And we won't be able to pay you that full prize money.

-How's that?

-What I can do is make it up to you with a voucher for the

cafe, like free coffees for a year or something like that.

-I get it.

That's why your idiot Nate was trying to cut me off.

-What?

-It was a set up.

You don't have the money, do you?

-No, I've got the money, all right?

It's like I said.

-You're a liar.

-What did you say?

-You heard me.

-Come on.

It's not worth it.

-Yes, it is.

He can't just get away with it.

He's going to pay me right now.

You must have the entry fee, at least.

-It's-- it's already kind of committed.

-Here it is.

$1,000, courtesy of Rikki's Cafe.

-Rikki, we can't.

-Well, what's the alternative?

-Fine.

Take it.

It's yours.

I hope you choke on it.

-Thanks, Zane.

I'll enjoy it.

-Well, I hope you're happy.

You made your point.

We're officially bankrupt.

-OK.

Now this first beaker has water from the Moon Pool.

I've checked it again, nothing unusual.

-And this just has water from the waterfall.

I checked it.

It's just water, nothing special.

-Right.

So now I'm--

I--

we are going to combine them.

Are you sure about this?

-We need to know.

Nothing's happened.

-We don't know that yet.

-Yes, we do.

Look.

-What if--

that is definitely something.

-We did it.

[chuckles]

We did it.

But is that-- is that a tentacle?

-I'm not sure.

Maybe because it's not a full moon, maybe it's

in a dormant state.

-OK.

So why does it attack us?

-I don't know.

But now that we know this, Cleo.

We're going to find a way to stop this.

-You know what?

I feel a little bit better already.

-Oh, you do?

-Yeah.

We are a pretty good team.

-Yes, we are.

-Stopped sulking?

-More a brief pause.

Hey, fellas.

I've never seen any of the guys from the club here.

-New customer base.

That's the idea.

-I should sulk more often.

-Or not.

-That's a nice look.

They, um-- they suit the place.

-Oh, don't get too attached.

We're auctioning them off tonight.

-Uh, no you can't.

-[snaps fingers]

Just like that.

-Hang on.

[inaudible].

-Oh, they're up.

They're way up.

But even so.

-Do you think we'll pull through?

-Well, we'll pay back the supplies so that

we're back in business.

And then we'll play to our strengths, cafe, the band.

-OK.

OK.

-Hi.

-Hey, I hadn't gotten to thank you for your help today.

I wouldn't have been able to enter if it wasn't for you.

-Oh, that.

Yeah.

Thanks a lot.

I should probably--

-Oh, sure.

I don't think your band's waiting.

-I know.

-Aw, young love.

No time.

-You OK?

-I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Can we just-- two, three, four.

[rock music playing]

-(SINGING) Every day is something different.

But I try to work it out.

Even though you tried to tell me, I'm

still filled with doubt.

Although you think you know me, I don't even know myself.

I'm going to take you.

I'm going to show you.

-Follow me.

Let's go drink.

BELLA (OFFSCREEN): (SINGING) They way to figure it out.

Whatever you say now, it's going to come back to you.

Whatever you throw down, it's going to come back to you.

You'll never win this.

No one can beat this.

You're going to be shut down.

It's going to come back to you.

[applause]

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

things come in threes.

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 in 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.
