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 kill 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?

30 meters.

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--

60 meters.

-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 40 again at least.

-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.
