03x16 - The Dark Side

[bunniefuu]

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.

[music playing]

-I still don't think
we should be here.

Full moon comes up in
a couple of hours.

-Yeah, we should lock ourselves
away so that water

can't attack us tonight.

-I'm sick of being
scared of water.

It used to be our
thing, our air.

What we need is to find a way
to destroy that tentacle.

-But we have no idea how.

-I wish Lewis was here.

At least he'd have a different
perspective on all of this.

-Well, there is someone else who
understands our situation.

-Will?

-If you want to ask for
someone's help,

it should be Zane's.

He's known us the longest.

-We don't want someone who's
going to risk other people's

lives because of their ego.

-Come on, guys.

There's enough room for
both Zane and Will.

[knocking]

-Hi.

-Whoa.

Ah, whoa.

-Sorry.

I think I must owe
you a juice.

-If you're busy I'll--

-It's the least I can do.

Sometimes I forget about, you
know, you being a mermaid.

-Thank you.

I want to talk to you
about tonight.

-Right.

Oh, it's a full moon,
isn't it?

-Yeah, about that.

I kind of had a favor
to ask you.

We're planning on staying at the
cafe tonight for safety.

And Rikki wanted Zane
to get on board.

And I kind of said that I
could get you on board.

-With Zane?

-To help, if you want
to, that is.

-And the others are
OK with this?

Sure.

It would be an honor.

I know how dangerous it
can be out there.

So I'd love to help,
any way I can.

-So, you need my help.

Well, I never thought
I'd see the day.

-Don't push it.

-Seriously, it's about time
you let me help you out.

-You never offer.

-Not true.

-Or you're too busy hanging
out with the guys.

You don't already have plans
for tonight, do you?

-It's nothing I can't
work around.

-You can't really work
around a full moon.

-OK, all right.

-If it means that much to you,
I'll cancel my plans for

tonight, and help you
set up the cafe.

-Promise?

-Promise.

-Hey, dude.

What time does that card
game start tonight?

-Uh, it's been cancelled.

-Private party.

-Aw, I was looking
forward to that.

-I know.

Well, we'll do it
another time.

-OK, cool.

We'll, I've got no other gigs
lined up for tonight.

-Uh, it's a private party,
as in you're not invited.

And we've already organized
our own entertainment.

-Ah, girls' night, huh?

-Yeah, something like that.

-Awesome.

How did you find out?

-Are you sure it's tonight?

-Try oxygen.

-That's not an

O. That's a C. -Really?

Try carbon.

Dad?

-Mhmm?

-About tonight, it's just going
to be us three girls.

We'll be perfectly
responsible.

-Why the cafe?

-Why not?

-Yeah, especially when Tina
heard from Zoe that Alice told

Ruby there's going to be a
massive party there tonight.

-Just because Cleo has organized
a sleepover doesn't

mean you have to try
and ruin it.

-But I wasn't--

-When you're Cleo's age
you can do the same.

You're welcome to watch
a DVD with us if

you've done your homework.

-Uh, we're closed.

-I know.

The girls invited me.

-Oh, well you must have
misunderstood.

-I don't think so.

They want me on hand to
help out, in case--

-And they asked you to help?

-Yeah.

Hey.

-Hey, glad you could make it.

-Listen, I know you're
planning on

staying here tonight.

But I think my boat shed might
be a better place.

-Is that right?

-Think about it.

It's smaller, easier
to seal up.

You could give me a hand
getting it ready.

-Are you kidding?

-Come on.

It's for the girls.

-I don't need you telling me
what's good for the girls.

-OK, that's enough.

I'm the only one who gets to say
what's good for the girls.

We're going to stay
here tonight.

And we're all going
to get along, OK?

I'm going home to
get my stuff.

Can I leave you two alone
without blood being spilled?

-Of course.

There's no problem here.

-There's no problem at all.

-OK, Dad, Sam, I'm off.

-Got a toothbrush?

Have a good time.

Call if you need anything.

-Don.

-Just have a good time.

-I will, thanks.

Bye.

-I trust you.

CLEO [OFFSCREEN]: Bye, Dad.

-I don't feel very well.

-What's wrong?

-I'm just really [yawning]

tired, like I need a long
uninterrupted sleep.

-Perhaps an early night's
in order.

-Yeah, maybe you're right.

Good night.

-Good night.

-Good night, darling.

I'll check on you
later, pumpkin.

-Where are all the girls?

-Sorry, we have a private
party on tonight.

-Yeah, I know.

That's why we're here.

-Sorry you're going
to have to go.

-What, are you going
to make me?

-If I have to.

-Not your place,
though, is it?

-Rikki said that--

-Forget that.

They're my friends.

They're welcome any time.

-What about our plans--

-What about them?

-Rikki is not going
to like this.

-Well, she's my girlfriend.

So just let me deal with it.

-What are you doing?

-Isn't it obvious?

-We're going to play
some cards.

-Yeah.

-But you said--

-Yeah, I know what I said.

-We've been through this.

And I need the cafe tonight.

-So you take the office.

We'll take the cafe.

Everyone will stay out
of everyone's way.

And it'll all be fine.

-We won't interrupt your pajama
party, right guys?

[chuckling]

-Can I have a word with
you in private?

-Yes.

-How could you do this to me?

-Why does everything always
have to be about you?

-Every now and then, on a full
moon, I just need you to be a

little bit more understanding.

Is that so much to ask?

-Why is it that every time I
think you've got this mermaid

thing under control there's
always some big drama?

-I didn't ask water
to attack us.

-It's not just that.

-Then what?

Is it Will?

I can't believe this.

You're jealous.

-No, I'm not jealous.

OK, I just, I don't get
why you need him more

than you need me.

-Because he's actually willing
to put us first.

-So

am I. [knocking]

-Is everything OK?

-He's not welcome here.

I want him to leave.

-Fine, then I'm leaving, too.

-You wonder why I never
ask you for help.

-Rikki, do you think--

-No.

I'll deal with this without
either of you.

-Rikki, wait.

You can't go out there.

-Watch me.

-Zane doesn't understand.

-You think?

-He hasn't seen that thing.

He doesn't know how
dangerous it is.

-He doesn't care.

-Well, I do.

I know how angry you
are about this.

But now is not the right time
to confront that thing.

Let's just get through
tonight.

OK?

-OK.

-Let's leave Zane to it, go
back to the boat shed and,

lock ourselves in, and rethink
things tomorrow.

At least if we're all in the
same place I can protect you.

-What?

-No, I just mean that--

-Let's get something straight.

I don't need anybody
to protect me.

You got that?

[ominous music]

-Oh!

-No way.

-He's just giving it away.

I can read you like a book.

-I bet this thing.

-What's that?

[laughter]

-Hey, you made it.

Come join the party.

-What's going on?

Where is Rikki?

-Beats me.

She just took off.

-Where?

-I don't know.

I figured she'd go find you,
tell you what a bad guy I am.

-Well, she didn't.

So where is she?

[phone ringing]

-Will, hi.

-Rikki's gone.

She had a big fit with
her idiot boyfriend.

And she took off.

Heading straight for
Mako Island.

-She can't.

It's really dark.

And it's a full moon, and--

-She wants to destroy
the water tentacle.

I tried to stop her.

-We have to get her back here.

-Hey!

-What are you doing here?

-Out of my way.

I'm here to party.

-No, you're not.

Get home, or I'm calling dad.

-How do I put this?

No.

Why should you have
all the fun?

-Will?

-What do you want?

-I was just looking for Will.

-He's not here.

-We were going out tonight.

-Really?

It looks like he stood you up.

-No, I'd say he's probably
already waiting at the cafe.

-I doubt it.

I know my brother.

He's got cold feet.

And I don't blame him.

-You must be really
threatened by me.

-Don't flatter yourself.

-It's a shame we can't get
along for Will's sake.

-I won't lose any
sleep over it.

-You know, I would invite you
along to the cafe tonight, but

you're not really welcome
there anymore, are you?

-And you're not welcome here.

So get out.

-Fine.

[bubbling and gurgling]

[bubbling and gurgling]

-Zane, I need to go
and find Rikki.

But I can't leave Kim here.

-Well, I'm not a babysitter.

-You're not much of anything
these days, are you, Zane?

Look, you're the reason that
Rikki's out there all alone

with that thing.

And you don't even care.

You're just sitting here,
playing stupid games.

Rikki needs to know that
she can rely on you.

We all do.

-You can rely on me.

-Then prove it.

Shut this down.

Take Kim home.

And let me go and find
Rikki, please.

-Excuse me.

Hey, hey.

This is over.

I'm shutting the cafe down.

-Ugh, but you can't do that.

-I can do what I want.

It's my place.

-Dude, can I just play
one more song?

I don't want to let
my fans down.

-They'll get over it.

Come on, everyone
get your stuff.

You're out.

-Thanks, Zane.

-We came here to party.

-Is that right?

-Um, Mr. Sartori, I was just
about to bring her home.

-The question is, what is she
doing here in the first place?

-Cleo made me come.

She said all the cool
girls would be here.

And I'd be mad if I
didn't show up.

-Not so fast, young lady.

-But--

-I don't want to hear any
buts, just a very good

explanation for all of this.

-What's going on?

-It's Rikki.

-Dad, I really need to go.

-You're not going anywhere
until I get some answers.

How could you let your little
sister sneak out of the house

to a party?

-I didn't let her sneak
out of the house.

And this isn't a party.

-Really?

Boys, junk food, music,
looks like a party.

-Sure does.

-It is a sleepover.

-What's he doing here?

-Me?

-We were just practicing
some karaoke.

DON [OFFSCREEN]: Were you now?

-Don't believe her, Dad.

-She wasn't even invited.

-Neither was I, apparently.

-What?

-I love karaoke.

-She said you'd be
too embarrassing.

That's why she didn't
invite you.

-No, I didn't say that.

-Too embarrassing, you say?

You, you know any real
rock and roll?

-Yes.

-Let's go.

-I'm going to k*ll you.

[music playing]

-Um, I don't think I'm
going to get out of

here any time soon.

[don singing]

-This is it.

It's just you and me.

What do you want from us?

What are you doing here?

-I really care.

-I told you I don't need
anyone to protect me.

No!

No!

Stop.

Leave him alone.

Do you want a mermaid?

Come get me.

-Rikki?

Are you OK?

-What happened?

-This tentacle came up and--

-No, it's OK.

Will saved me.

He got here just in time,
didn't you, Will?

-Thanks, Will.

I knew we could count on you.

-Finally, they're gone.

-But Dad sure loves Elvis.

-Don't remind me.

Rikki!

-Are you OK?

What happened?

-The water tried
to attack her.

Will got there just in time.

-Yeah, I bet he did.

-At least I was there.

-Cool it, guys.

-Hey, it'll never happen again.

I promise.

I'll be here for you
from now on.

-OK.

-No, you're not just going to
forgive him like that are you?

-I think I'm just going to get
my stuff and, and go home.

-Well, I'll take you.

Just let me close
up here first.

-Do you think she's all right?

-Maybe she's in shock.

-Rikki, what happened
out there?

You spoke to it, and
the water stopped.

It was like it was under
your control.

And why are you lying
to Cleo and Bella?

Why did you tell them
I saved you?

-What's the big deal?

-It's not true.

You saved me.

-You came out to Mako to look
after me, and now they think

you did.

-I came after you because
I care about you.

-I can't do this right now.

-I think you should tell
Cleo and Bella.

-Tell them what, exactly?

-It responded to you, that
it, it listened to you.

-I don't even know
that for sure.

-Then I'll tell them
what I saw.

-No.

-Why?

-I don't want them to know.

Promise me you won't
to tell them.

Please.

You owe me that much.

-OK.

You can trust me.

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.
