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.

-Prepare to be amazed.

-Not bad.

Maybe we should get her earrings.

-Just wait.

For the girl who hates everything.

[chuckling]

-Perfect.

All right.

Now my turn to cure it.

-Beautiful.

-Now I'll harden it.

-Even Rikki's going to like this.

-Are you all right out if I go out for a while?

-What for?

-Just need to see an old friend.

-You're not planning any surprises, are you?

-Surprises?

No, why?

-Come on, Zane.

You know what today is.

-It's like the 12th?

Oh, how could I have forgotten.

Some of these bills should have been paid by the 10th.

Sorry.

I know how angry that fruit supplier gets.

But don't worry.

I'll smooth things out.

Anything else?

-No, no, that's it.

-Lucky I've got you to remind me of these things.

Otherwise this place would go under.

I'd be helping you out right now, but I've got to be

somewhere else.

-Oh?

-Rikki will be back on deck when she

finishes the accounts.

But keep up the good work.

-Sure.

-Some service here?

-When I get there.

All right.

What do you want?

-Spaghetti bolognese times 10, plus a dozen sandwiches.

Stocking up.

-What kind of sandwiches?

-Whatever is quickest.

-What's the rush?

-Aren't you full of questions?

-Like I care Um, big orders take time.

-So how soon can you deliver it.

-We don't do deliveries.

-OK, 20 bucks for the delivery boy.

-Maybe I can find someone.

Here's the address.

-Hey, I see that you've brought an offering.

-How's Operation Decoration going?

-All set to commence mission presently.

-Where's the target?

-She's in the office with my books.

Go.

[knocking]

-Come in.

CLEO (OFFSCREEN): Hello.

-This isn't a birthday present, is it?

-Definitely not.

-Think of it as a really late Christmas present.

[giggling]

-Nice.

You might want to keep it in a safe place.

-So do you want to meet us at the moon pool

later, about 2:00?

-Why

-For a swim?

-Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that it's my

birthday, would it?

-No way.

-No, actually it's, it's something.

The three of us need to talk.

It's important and kind of private.

-OK, well, I'll see you there, then.

And thanks, um.

-Is there something going on that I should know about?

-I don't think so?

-I mean, you can trust me if there is.

I'm cool.

I'm Rikki's friend, too.

-OK, sure.

Well, if we hear anything we'll be sure to let you know.

-And if I hear anything, I'll let you know.

-OK.

-Do you think Rikki saw straight through us?

-Definitely.

Hey, but, ah, good idea on the whole private talk thing.

She so thinks you meant well.

-Hey, I was hoping to run into you.

-Congratulations.

-I've been thinking a lot about you, just you, not--

-Well, it's good to keep an active mind.

-We need to talk.

-I don't think so.

-You're wasting your time with her.

She's so not worth thinking about.

-Who said I was?

-OK, right.

I've got a job for you.

-That is a lot of food.

-You're a strong boy.

You can handle it.

-This hop is miles away.

-Get exercise.

Think of it as part of your training.

-Yeah, right.

Delivery boy.

-I need you to help me out just this once.

Come on!

You'll be fine.

[eerie music]

-Uh, I, uh, I've got a delivery for you.

-Took long enough.

Pass it over.

-Just visiting?

-Uh, yeah, something like that.

How much?

-$78.

-Uh, wait here.

Here.

-That's too much.

-Keep it.

-And this is for you.

Go have fun.

-Um, shouldn't we give some to the cafe?

-No, you earned the tip.

-Sophie, I'm going to need all the money.

-Huh?

-Today's takings, I need it to finish the accounts.

-I've been doing some serious business today.

-Great.

So can I have the till?

-Sure thing.

Oh!

Sorry.

-That's OK.

I'll handle the till.

SOPHIE (OFFSCREEN): Do you want that back in the office?

Yes, please.

-Sophie, I don't suppose you know who paid with 50s today.

-Um, some guy wanted a delivery.

Why, what's the problem?

-I think they're fake.

-What, counterfeits?

-Yeah, don't worry.

I'll sort it out.

[ominous music]

-Hi, did you get a delivery today and

pay for it with these?

-What?

-They're fake.

-Really?

-Yeah, really.

I thought you might want to take them down to the police

station.

-You bet, sure.

-Right after you reimburse me.

-Yeah, of course.

Come on board.

I'll go get my wallet.

-Is there a problem.

-Looks like there's been someone with a

couple of fake 50s.

So I'm just fixing up the bill.

-Really?

Let's have a look.

-Do you remember where you got them from?

-Yeah, that's a good question.

Do you remember, Chris?

-Look, I might leave it to you two.

-Don't you want to get reimbursed?

-I'm in a bit of a hurry.

So if you can drop it at the cafe that would be great.

-I think you better stay here with us.

-I really should go.

-Just let her go.

-It's all right.

I don't even know your names.

If it's all the same--

did I tell you it's my birthday today?

-Happy birthday.

-Where is she?

-Maybe she got a better offer.

-Nah, no chance.

She's probably just sulking because she's guessed

what's going on.

-Maybe we should just start without her.

-No, there is no way she's missing out on this one.

-Even if we have to drag her here.

-Please let me go home.

What is going on here?

I didn't say anything that--

uh, great.

I guess it's too much to ask for today to be anything less

than disastrous, one day of the year--

-Save your breath, love.

Yeah, we've got a problem.

-You're sure we should be in here?

-I want to show you something.

Tell me that's not the coolest thing you've ever seen?

Bella and Cleo gave it to Rikki as a birthday present.

-Really?

-Feel it.

It's weird.

It's, it's just some kind of glass.

-That is so not glass.

-These people have a bundle.

What is it?

-Oh, I've, I've seen stuff like that before.

They, they import it by the truckload from China.

-Oh, so you're an art critic now.

This is rare.

And what's with the mermaid thing?

-I don't know.

Nothing?

-You're seriously slow today.

-Hey, Bella.

Wait, it's, it's important.

-This might take a minute.

-We need to talk.

-OK.

Well, I'm here.

Talk away.

-I thought you'd be more careful.

-I'm not sure you're quite tuned into the station.

-I just saw that mermaid statue, the gift you gave

Rikki.

-What were you doing poking around Rikki's stuff.

-Sophie found it.

-What did you tell her?

-Nothing.

But she's not going to give up until she finds out more about

it.

-You need to keep your sister on a leash.

-I don't control her.

And, and she's not stupid.

-Really?

-I know you made the statue somehow.

And if you and Cleo gave it to Rikki, that means they must

know about you, too.

-If you say so.

-Look, Bella, I like you.

But you can't keep lying to me.

I've kept your secret.

Why won't you trust me with the whole story?

-Boss is not a happy man.

-Do you think she's all right in there?

This has got out of hand.

-And who's fault is that, Chris?

CHRIS (OFFSCREEN): Well, it's not mine.

BAD GUY (OFFSCREEN): You invited her on board.

We've got million in cash just lying around here, and you

want to throw her a birthday party.

-I only signed on as the delivery boy.

-Ev--

every single one of these is the same.

[kettle whistling]

[kettle whistling]

[phone pinging]

-Oh, it' from Rikki.

It just says help.

-What does that mean?

-I don't know.

She needs us?

-It couldn't be a joke, could it?

-Maybe she found out about the party, and she's

trying to pay us back.

-Call her.

BAD GUY (OFFSCREEN): Well, what do you suggest, Chis?

-I say we drop her off, further up the coast.

By the time she walks back, we'll be long gone.

-Why wouldn't she tell?

[panting]

[phone ringing]

-I'll take that.

-Uh!

Brilliant.

I still had nine months left on that plan.

-Idiot!

Why didn't you take that off her?

-Her hands were tied.

How was I to know?

-She's not answering.

-Try again?

-I did.

It just, it keeps going to voice mail.

-Why would she send that text, and then not answer?

-Sophie, have you seen Rikki around?

-She went out.

-Any idea where?

-Why?

What's happening.

-She was supposed to meet us.

-There's something going on.

-She's not in the office.

-It's a party, isn't it?

-What did Rikki say before she left?

-Not much.

She was steamed about up about some dodgy 50 dollar notes she

got passed.

-What?

-Some guy made a delivery order, and paid

for it with a fake.

-Any idea where he was from?

-Don't know, some wharf.

Will made the delivery.

So you'll let me know about the party?

-Ugh.

I can't reach Zane or Lewis.

-Mako interference?

-We need Will.

-No, let's not go there.

-Well, what if he knows where Rikki is?

-It's too risky.

He doesn't know about you guys.

-What's more important?

Protecting our secret, or Rikki?

CLEO (OFFSCREEN): We need to know where Rikki is.

-She's not here.

-Will, this is serious.

Sophie said you picked up some counterfeit

money from the wharf.

-Fake money?

-We think she went to take it back.

-You have to tell us everything you know.

-On one condition.

You tell me everything you know about mermaids.

All three of you?

-Yes.

-Were you all transformed together.

-No.

-So how long have you known about each other?

-Since we met.

But I couldn't tell you.

Because we wanted to keep it a secret, Will.

-I just can't believe that Rikki is one, too.

-Well, she is.

-And this all ties into Mako Island.

I knew it.

You could have told me, you know.

-I'm sorry.

But we have to protect each other.

-I get that.

-OK, enough talk.

-Yeah, she needs us.

Come on.

-Please hurry.

-Now what?

-We wait.

-I can't just wait.

-Me neither.

-OK, me too.

-What do you want?

-Hi, I wanted to thank you for the generous tip before.

-Whatever, don't worry about it.

-Nice boat.

You, uh, mind if I take a look around?

-Yeah, get off.

Hey, I said get off.

Get out of there.

-So how many does the boat sleep?

-What did you let him in for?

-I didn't.

Off, now.

-Hey, I, I'm just being friendly.

[distant sirens]

-Cops!

-It's a setup.

You get him out of here now.

-Rikki!

[sirens]

[sirens]

-Come on.

Come on.

CHRIS (OFFSCREEN): Get us out of here.

What's wrong with the boat?

-How do I know?

-It sounds like the propeller's stuck.

-OK, get the bags.

We're out of here.

-These ones?

CHRIS (OFFSCREEN): Forget them.

Let's go!

[sirens]

-There's a fire.

Quick,

-It's locked.

[sirens]

WILL (OFFSCREEN): Together on three.

WILL (OFFSCREEN): Together on three. One, two, three!

One, two, three!

-Ow!

What kept you?

What's he doing here?

CLEO (OFFSCREEN): There's no time.

-We've got to go.

-Come on.

-Hey, have you seen Rikki?

-Has this got something to do with her birthday?

-Matter of fact, y-yeah.

-Are we talking party here?

-Thing is it's a surprise.

-Oh, no problem.

Anything I can do to help?

-Sure is.

Would you mind holding the fort for the afternoon?

-Sure.

-Thanks, Soph.

You're a legend.

-This looks so good, you guys.

-We though you might like it.

-Hey uh, I thought you'd probably want this.

-You stole it out of my office?

-Rescued it.

Um, it caught Sophie's eye.

-Cool.

Well, I guess I have to trust you now.

-I can keep a secret.

-I certainly hope so for your sake.

-Man, you guys are hard to find.

W-what's he doing here?

-He saved Rikki's life when you couldn't be contacted.

-What?

You've, you've been in trouble?

-Long story.

But we can trust him.

LEWIS (OFFSCREEN): And he knows everything.

-Everything?

-Everything.

-Happy whatever.

I know you've already got one of these, but--

-A phone is exactly what I needed.

-Rikki, come and blow out your candles.

-What are you doing?

We didn't even sing the, the song.

-Yeah, no.

That's way too much fire for one day.

-Fire?

-Hip hip.

-Hooray!

-Hip hip.

-Hooray!

-Hip hip.

-Hooray!

[cheering and applause]

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.
