He's back.

This is the fifth day in a row.

And his little friend is with him?

It's gotta be a dolphin.

Or a mermaid.

Do you know what I think?

I think this guy is just as interested in us...

as we are in him.

Both of them.

She can't keep coming here!

I'm gonna have a double scoop.

No, I'll have a triple scoop!

Choc Chip and Strawberry Surprise.

She's gonna get caught!

I'm gonna have the biggest, greasiest hamburger I can find.

Brett!

This is serious!

So's shore leave!

Or maybe I'll have the burger first.

Mum's seen her heaps of times on sonar.

Every time she swims with Charley, the tag transmits that back to the lab.

Okay.

They know it's another creature, but they don't know it's Neri.

They think it's just another whale!

And Vanessa knows we're hiding something.

Vanessa thinks it's just a cleaner on a day pass.

If Vanessa gets one look at that...

- ...pass you came up with... - Oh, Vanessa, Vanessa!

Come on! Hurry up!

I look like a dork in this uniform!

That's because you are a dork.

Sure, Jodie.

He does!

It's just your imagination, that's all.

Jason and I are just friends.

Then why is he always looking at you?

And going out of his way to be nice.

He is?

Don't tell me you haven't noticed?

This is the final call for all personnel scheduled for shore leave.

Please assemble at the turbolift reception area.

On your best behaviour, you two, remember, you're representing ORCA!

No, sir.

We won't forget.

No!

You shouldn't have come! Not today!

We're going on shore leave. To Port Douglas!

Douglas? Who is Douglas?

Not who, where! It's a place on the mainland.

Is it fun?

Is it ever! We're gonna have a great time!

Now we gotta get you outta here.

Bates! It's too late to go back to get anything. Stay with the group.

Oh, well. She'll have to come with us.

Are you kidding?

Well, no one's been counting heads.

Besides, we can't leave her here on her own, can we?

Let's hope we don't end up regretting it.

What's she doing here?

She's coming along.

If it's any of your business.

I thought she was a cleaner.

So why isn't she cleaning?

She forgot her broom.

Hi, Lee!

Didn't Neri just arrive?

So?

Mm, it's funny, don't you think? I mean, why come all the way out here on a boat,

then turn around and have to go back again?

Maybe she just wants to be with you, Dags.

What?

Nah... not me.

Wow!

Winston...

come here!

The... the other creature, the-the-the, the little one, it's gone!

But where?

Gotta find somewhere safe for her.

The hamburger shop!

Oh Brett, stop thinking about your stomach, and start thinking about Neri.

Nah, I bet Neri just loves her hamburgers, don't you, Neri?

Just...

Strewth! This is a road, not a footpath!

This road?

Neri!

Sorry, uh...

she's new in town!

Are you crazy?

You coulda got yourself killed!

Why these trees grow wires?

They're not trees.

They're power poles.

You know... like, electricity?

Electricity trees.

Yeah, sort of.

Great afternoon this is gonna be.

Ah, tourists love that sorta junk.

Like...

this.

Hey, Jase!

Check this out!

It's too big.

Not for me, dummy, for Mum!

Ugh!

Hey, where're you going with that?

Neri!

You can't just take it!

- I like. - Ah, yeah, well...

You have to pay for it!

With money?

Uh... I might be back later.

Who lives here?

It's...

a church.

Church?

Kinda like...

God's house.

Big house.

God has many friends.

Yeah... I guess he does.

Are you sure she went in there?

Positive.

Oh, no. Here she comes now.

What am I gonna do?

Ask her!

What if she says no?

Then you can go away and let me finish my book!

Hi.

Hello.

Hey.

Hey, I just, I thought, maybe, you know, if you didn't have anything on today...

and, you know, we could, I mean...

yourself and myself...

What are you ravin' on about, Dags?

- D'you wanna go to the movies? - Uh...

Neri hates movies.

What movies?

D'you mean to tell me you've never seen a movie?

Wow!

Really?

I should go?

Of course, it'll be really fun.

Come on.

You'd better do something, quick!

Yeah.

Um...

D'you wanna go, too?

Too?

Jeanette.

You shouldn't be here.

I-It's much too dangerous.

I didn't feel safe with it loose in the city.

It'll never be able to find us here.

But you mighta been followed.

We have to be careful.

It's after the antidote.

It won't think to look here.

How do you know?

It's much smarter than we are.

It seems to know everything.

Look what happened to the others!

You didn't see it, Jeanette.

God, it was horrible!

It'll be all right, Michael.

We're safe here.

What's that?

Nothing, Michael.

Just relax.

Enjoy the fire.

That's better.

- Mm. - Mm.

Who taught you to kiss like that?

Gross!

You were supposed to watch her!

I had my eyes shut!

How long's he been out there?

Since about nine this morning.

It's like he's lost something.

What about the smaller one?

Swam right up to the front door.

And?

And...

vanished.

She's gotta be around here somewhere!

Hi.

Hello.

Neri, you're here!

I-I-I mean, hi!

So many clothes.

Yeah, it's great, isn't it?

Maybe Jodie can help you choose something.

Oh, right.

I mean...

sure.

Won't be a sec.

That'd look great on you.

Mm, would you like to try it on?

I can?

Sure!

Mm, no.

In the change rooms.

Jodie, would you help me? The zip's stuck!

- Leave me alone! - Give me the bracelet!

No!

No way! Leave me alone!

Come on, the bracelet!

No!

No!

Look, what are you doing here, man?

- This is our turf. - Nice.

- Get outta here! - Oh, whoa!

Ah, yeah!

- Get outta here! - Oh no, it's a bracelet!

- Oh, a bracelet, huh? - Oh, what a loser!

Come on!

At last, we've got her!

Breathe in!

No Jason Bates to save her this time.

We're finally gonna get to the bottom of this!

Oh, got it!

Okay, Neri.

Let's have a little talk!

Why are you following me?

They hurt you?

I'm all right.

Just pickin' on me...

'cause I'm different.

I'm different, too.

You sound kinda different.

I saw the boys take something.

It was special?

A bracelet.

My mum made it.

She can make another?

She died.

I've got to get it back.

I will help you.

Lot of good you'll be.

We've looked everywhere!

Twice! The beach, the shops, the streets, the beach again.

The beach.

Maybe she needs to get wet.

We've already looked there.

Well...

Where else could she go to get wet?

The shower?

Hey, pal, how's it going?

Oh!

I'm sorry.

It slipped.

What are you doin' here, man?

- Hey, Ken. - What are you doin'?

Look who's here.

Oh!

Going fishin'?

I want it back!

You want a swim. That's what you want.

Why did you take it?

Who's this?

Ha! One of them ORCA kids.

Please give him back his bracelet.

What a wimp!

There she is!

And she's in trouble!

- And there's three of them. - What're you gonna do?

- Come on! - Come on!

Ha! Just one ORCA kid!

Where is she?

- Come on, get here! She will drown! - Give it back to me!

Come on!

Come and get it!

You want it, don't ya?

Come and get it!

I'm gonna drop it!

I'm gonna drop it!

Ken.

Wait!

Nice one.

Come on!

Let's get outta here!

You weren't really scared, were you?

Of course not.

So, why did you run out?

- You weren't scared of me, were you? - No!

I'm glad.

So the cop pulls out his gun!

He starts firing.

And the skeleton explodes, blam!

And there was... slime and there was worms everywhere on everyone.

It was unreal.

Hey.

Did you buy that?

Jason.

Would all personnel please note...

that reports must be logged in the appropriate data banks.

Are you all right?

Well, we'll meet you on the island tomorrow, okay?

But...

How would you like to go and see what's happening in the rec room?

- Okay. - Yeah?

Okay, ace.

Well...

We got the place to ourselves.

That's good.

- Anyway, what I... - Shh!

What's going on?

Bates!

Nothing.

We...

were just...

...just talking, Daddy.

We were just talking, okay?

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

Well...

Um... I promised I'd help Brett with his physics.

Bye.

Tell me about...

kiss thing.

What?

You know.

Oh, yuck!

No, that's only for grown-ups.

What's it like?

Disgusting! I don't know why anyone would want to kiss a girl.

Does it taste good?

About as good as this thing.

If you don't believe me, go and kiss someone.

No way!

Damien?

Attention all day pass holders.

Please report to reception prior to departure from ORCA.

Have to go now.

Bye, Damien.

Wow!

All right, all right. I'm listening!

Don't you see?

He's listening, too.

And now he's answering.

Something's talking to him.

- Our little friend? - Right!

I know a chap in Seattle.

He's a sound freak.

He has a laser operated, multi-channel separator, ultra high, ultra low frequency.

We should be able to adapt it.

Patch it into our system...

so it hears the electric impulses.

If he is listening...

we'll be able to listen, too!

Oh, Winston, we're a long way...

- ...from Seattle. - A week, ten days maximum!

Soon..

no more secrets!

We've had a breakthrough.

We're getting some new equipment.

We always thought the whale was communicating with another whale...

hundreds of kilometres away.

You mean like talking?

Not exactly talking. But not until today. You should've heard them. It was like a...

videophone conversation, except we could only hear one side of it.

Uh... with this new equipment...

We will be able to hear both.

Y-You know the little bleep that's always following the whale around?

Yeah, we know... that one.

That's who we think the whale is talking to, not some other whale in some other ocean.

So, with this new equipment...

you're gonna find out heaps of stuff?

Yeah, more than we ever dreamed of.

I mean, we are this far away from discovering who the other little creature is.

I mean, this could solve the riddle!

That's great, Mum.

Jason?

What? You don't think so?

What? Wh-What is it with you, you know?

Just once...

I would like to think that you actually cared about what I'm trying to do here.

It's not that.

Then what is it?

I mean, can't you just pretend you care?

It's like you don't even want us to succeed!

That's it, isn't it?

You really don't want us to succeed!

It's not exactly that. It's...

Well, please! Tell me! I don't get it.

Tell me what it is.

I can't explain.

No, it's not that you can't explain, it's that you don't want to!

We can't tell her.

Well, they're gonna find out, aren't they?

Yes.

They are gonna find out.

We'll have to think of something!
