[♪♪♪]

[Zac] Watching over my shoulder for you two is getting really old.

What are we gonna do about it?

We came here to deal with a thr*at.

Namely, you.

What do you expect us to do?

Sit around plaiting seaweed?

I have never seen you plait seaweed.

But Zac hasn't done anything...

Hello.

You must be the new mermaids Sirena told me about.

I'm Ondina.

This is Mimmi.

I'm Rita.

Welcome to my home... which I'm happy for you to visit so long as you respect my property.

How long are you here for?

Until we've dealt with this merman.

Then I can get rid of these ridiculous legs.

I've told them Zac's a friend.

The seventh cycle of the moon is underway.

The boy's powers will grow.

There's no telling what he'll be like after the next full moon.

Then why don't we have a preview?

[Mimmi] Of course!

We can create the effect of a full moon with the moon ring.

You can't be serious.

Or we could wait until the real full moon.

How many days away is that?

You'll be so attached to your legs by then, you won't want to get rid of them.

What are you doing here?

My job.

Why?

Uh, well, I did think about working from home, but customers just never seem to drop by.

You know what I mean.

The café's a dangerous place for you.

I know what I'm doing.

I just need to be careful.

With all these drinks and ice, soggy towels and soggy customers.

How will you handle all that?

Really not helping.

I'm just clueing you in on your new reality.

Your workplace is now a hostile environment.

And for the time being, I'll learn to live with it.

[sighs]

Are you certain you want to do this?

I need to know what's going to happen on the next full moon, if it really will make me a danger to you all.

What if the moon ring makes you a danger right now?

Then we stop.

That's the beauty of using the moon ring.

I still don't like it.

[Sirena] You ready?

[sighs]

Do it.

[sighs]

Zac?

It's okay.

I can see Mako.

I can feel it.

It's...

It's dark.

I'm in a dark place, maybe a cave.

I'm seeing rocks... with carvings.

They're symbols.

One of them looks like a trident.

The Trident is a merman w*apon.

Zac destroyed it.

[gasps]

[Ondina] Mimmi?

[Sirena] Zac?

What's happening?

Talk to me.

There's something here.

What?

There's... something.

What is it?

Tell me!

Powerful.

Enough!

Are you okay?

[Ondina] Why did you do that?

We're supposed to be stopping his connection to Mako, not making it stronger.

Do you understand what Zac was seeing?

There are more mysteries on that island than even the mermaid council knows.

I'm going to Mako.

I need to see if this is real.

[Ondina] Not without us!

Did you hear an invitation?

We're not letting you loose on Mako by yourself.

Deal with it.

Mermaids aren't supposed to walk on Mako.

[Mimmi]

It was your idea to come here.

You were right.

I was?

If we're gonna break Zac's connection to the island, first, we need to understand how it works.

Of course.

That's exactly what I had in mind.

[Zac] I think it's this way.

How do you know?

I can feel it.

You can feel it?

Yes, I can feel it.

Any trouble and we're shutting this down.

Don't think we have those in your size, sir.

Real funny.

No, it's not, actually.

You hanging around here is really annoying.

You're new to the fish thing.

I've been through it all with Zac.

Trust me, you need a wingman.

No, I don't.

Sorry!

No drinks near the clothes.

Cam!

You can collect it as you leave.

Thanks, you just cost me a sale.

But I saved you a tail.

What if she spilt this on you?

Or do you think that wearing fish scales is gonna be the next fashion craze?

[water bubbling]

Evie!

Just a little trick Zac taught me.

Get the message?

You could have texted.

Where's the fun in that?

Now, back off, Cam.

I can look after myself.

Was there a problem with that shake?

I made it, so I'm wondering why you threw it away.

We don't allow drinks near the clothes. It's a rule.

Maybe you should put a sign up, Evie, so people know.

Well, thanks, Cam.

[whispers] I'll do that.

I'm glad that's sorted, then.

Now, I have a business to run.

So, unless you're after one of these... we're done.

Hmm?

[Mimmi] You still haven't said where you're taking us.

[Ondina] That's because he doesn't know.

Or he does know, and this is all an elaborate trap.

This is crazy.

I'm not taking another step.

That's fine.

I didn't ask you to come.

Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

Just leave me here, then.

[Ondina] It's a dead end.

Let's go.

There's something in here.

We can't walk through solid rock.

Sirena?

I'll stay and keep it open.

How did you do that?

Practice. [chuckles]

Be careful.

[Ondina] Do you want to tell us where we are?

[Mimmi] We're still on Mako... right?

Sure.

Just nowhere on the map.

We have to go through there.

No, absolutely not.

Maybe Ondina's right.

We don't know anything about this place.

I'm going through.

[Zac] This is the place.

The place in my vision.

[echoing] Hello?

[Ondina] If anyone's around, you've just told them we're here.

Someone built this place.

Can you feel it?

What?

There's power here.

[Mimmi] What's that?

[Zac] No idea.

[device humming]

Don't touch it!

I don't like this.

There's something seriously merman happening.

It's okay.

I'll be careful.

Stop! Get back...

[whooshing]

Ondina!

What have you done with her?

Nothing.

Then where is she?

[echoing] Ondina!

Ondina!

Nice choice.

Try it on.

Glasses leave puddles, Evie.

What if you'd put your hand in it?

Cam, I appreciate your concern... but you do not need to look after me.

Oh.

I get it.

You're part of the Mako club now.

Thought you were better than that.

Trouble?

Nah.

You looked like you were fighting.

Things aren't always what they seem.

What did you mean by "Mako club"?

Why?

I keep hearing about Mako Island.

Must be special.

I should, uh... check it out.

All I can tell you about Mako Island is that the fishing's awful, and there's a lot of mosquitoes.

So, if I were you, I'd just... stay away.

Okay.

[Zac] Ondina!

Ondina!

[echoing]

She's gone.

It wasn't me.

Well, something made her disappear.

She was walking this way and then...

Stop!

[sighs] I don't want you disappearing, too.

Where could she have gone?

[sighs]

This is a merman place.

Maybe it doesn't want mermaids inside.

Where's Ondina?

She's disappeared.

Have you seen her?

No.

Ondina!

Maybe she's further away.

Let's split up and look.

[Sirena] Ondina?

[Zac] Ondina!

[Mimmi] Ondina!

[Sirena] Ondina!

Seems quiet.

Can I have a couple hours off?

I have some personal stuff I have to take care of.

You're the new guy, remember?

You're supposed to be impressing me with your enthusiasm for the job.

When I come back, I'll work twice as hard.

I'll hold you to that.

Nothing. You?

She's not here.

There's still plenty of island to search.

What's the point?

What you did in there could have sent her anywhere.

What if I do it again?

It might bring her back.

Look at it this way, it can't make things any worse.

Do what you did before.

Nothing else.

[Ondina]

Don't touch it!

[Zac] It's okay.

I'll be careful.

Stop! Get back...

[Mimmi] Ondina!

What if I disappear us, too?

Just do it.

You okay?

How did I get here?

[chuckles] Don't you know?

What are you doing?

I was making sure you're all right.

Have you finished?

What are you doing here?

Exploring.

What are you doing here?

Same.

I'm new, so I thought I'd scope the place out.

Seen anything... interesting?

No.

I better go.

The others will be wondering where I am.

What others?

Who else is here?

I'm... fine.

Truly, absolutely nothing to worry about.

[Sirena] Well?

[rocks closing]

It didn't work.

So, that's it?

She's gone?

Don't give up.

Rita might have an idea.

Ondina!

Where were you?

Asleep in the jungle, apparently.

That new boy from the café found me.

Erik?

You lied to us.

You said you didn't know what that place was.

I don't. What happened to you was an accident.

Sure.

It really was.

[Zac sighs]

[bird screeches]

We need to go.

[Ondina] We sure do.

And don't you even think about coming back.

Thanks.

For a place no one goes to, Mako gets pretty busy.

I saw Zac and those three girls there.

You went to Mako?

I saw this weird light.

The jungle's like that.

You see something you think is strange.

Turns out it's just... a reflection or something.

Do you know what they were doing?

You'd have to ask them.

Maybe I will.

Enjoy your burger.

What happened with Ondina wasn't your fault.

Yeah, well, try telling her that.

She's convinced I'm public enemy number one to mermaids.

And finding that merman chamber only made things worse.

What do you think it's for?

[Mimmi] Mako is a mermaid island... so, how come it has a place that belongs to mermen?

Mako didn't always belong to us.

During the w*r between the mermaids and the mermen, it passed into their control.

So, that place must be a relic of those times.

And now, Zac's presence has activated it.

I told you using the moon ring was a bad idea.

We've made the boy's connection to the island stronger.

Then we have to keep a close watch on him.

If Zac's presence brings that place to life...

We need to make sure he never does it again.

Ever.

[Evie] Whatever's going on over there... forget about it.

I don't want you going back.

[sighs] I'm sorry, Evie.

I have to.

There's power in that place and somehow I'm connected to it.

I need to know why.
