03x25 - A Date with Destiny

[bunniefuu]

THEME SONG: Ive 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]

[birds chirping]

-Come and get it.

Oh, come on.

It's not that interesting.

No.

Ha ha!

No.

[giggling].

-Oh, come on, you two.

Really?

-We weren't doing anything.

-Good.

Then you won't mind coming
for a swim with us.

-Sounds good.

-Well, what are we
waiting for?

[music playing]

[splash]

-Guys, is it just me, or
is it warm in here?

-It better not just be you.

-I'm serious.

-No.

It definitely is a
bit more humid.

-Something's weird.

-Well, this is a volcano, but
it's supposed to be dormant.

-No.

It's not that.

Something's changed.

-Bella, Bella, Bella.

You think he'd forgotten
he has a sister.

OK.

It's his first real
girlfriend.

But seriously.

Am I boring you?

You can at least pretend
to be sympathetic.

-I've got my own
problems here.

-I know turnover's down
this month, but--

-But nothing.

We're going under.

-It's probably just
a seasonal thing.

If we cut some extra staff--

-About that.

I drew up a list.

-You're cutting back my hours?

-You've been great.

But I can't afford a manager.

-You're firing me?

-I've got $10,000 left,
and then it's over.

-I've sacrificed too much for
this place to just let it die.

-You better buy a lottery
ticket, then.

Because unless we win a fortune
fast, this place is as

good as dead.

-So, why do you think
it's changed?

-That's exactly what we've
got to figure out.

-But how?

-I'm going to go back.

-Right now?

-Yeah, now?

But we just got back.

-I thought it was your favorite
place in the whole

entire world.

-It is.

Apart my from nice,
warm comfy bed.

-Cleo's right.

There is something going
on out there.

-Can we go first thing
in the morning?

-Fine.

-See ya.

-What is it?

-It's just--

don't-- don't worry.

-Please, tell me.

-I need your help.

-What's happened?

-Zane's going to
close the cafe.

-So you'll lose your job?

-It's more than a job.

It's all I have right now.

-Well, if I can help,
sis, I will.

-I was thinking these
shells and things

must be worth something.

-Not that.

It's just a dumb rock.

-But those necklaces
you made for the

girls with those crystals.

They look amazing.

Maybe I could start a stall at
the market and sell them.

-No.

-Why not?

You just need to find--

-No.

-Just tell me where you
found those crystals.

It was on that island
you're always poking

around on, wasn't it?

-No.

Now just let it go, OK?

[splash]

[motor boat]

[singing]

I can always have your around,
this true love.

And I can never hold you
down, this pure love.

And I could go on telling
everyone that you were mine.

But I don't mind.

I don't mind.

-I think we've got
that one down.

-I was great, wasn't I?

-Yeah, you were good.

Which is perfect, because
I have to be somewhere.

Can we have our pay, please?

It's a week over due.

-OK.

Meet me at the counter
in a minute.

-Could I get a bottle
of water?

-Sure.

-Oh, it's hot out there.

-Out where?

-Out on Mako Island.

-What were you doing there?

-I work for the National
Park Authority.

-What kind of work?

-Rocks are my specialty.

-Interesting.

-Have you got that check?

-Yeah.

Here it is.

-She's taken.

-Huh?

-She goes out with my brother.

-Oh.

No, don't get me wrong.

I was just looking at the
stone around her neck.

-You seen any like that
at Mako Island?

-Why?

-Mm, I think that's where
it comes from.

My brother dives out
there all the time.

-If it is, it could
be very rare.

-How rare?

-Extremely.

-Sounds expensive.

-What if I told you I knew
three girls, all

with stones like that?

-Really?

-Maybe we can have a chat.

-What did I miss?

-Not only is the temperature
rising, but so is the

electromagnetic field.

Look at this.

Lewis's compass.

OK.

It always used to go
crazy in here.

Now, it's pointing South.

Why has it changed?

-Do you really think you're
going to get answers with all

this stuff?

This place is magic.

Unless you've got a way of
measuring that, you're barking

up the wrong tree.

-Well, what do you think?

You're more connected to this
place than either of us.

You be the guess.

-What?

-Go on.

-Well?

-Give me a minute.

I can definitely
feel something.

It's like, a lot of energy.

Like this place is
coming alive.

-Like a full moon.

-No.

It's different to that.

Something's awakening in here.

[door shutting]

-Hey, Cleo.

-Ryan, hi.

What are you doing here?

-I was just dropping some
data off to Sam.

-Ah.

Where is she?

-Uh, upstairs on the phone.

-Right.

-So what you been up to?

-Mm, not much.

-Nice necklace.

-Ah, it's nothing.

-Where'd you get it?

-It was a gift.

-Really?

Who from?

-You know, I can't--

I can't remember, actually.

-Have you been out to Mako
at all recently?

-No, why?

-Oh.

Just was out there this morning,
and that place is

incredible.

-Yeah.

-Do you mind if I have a look.

-Actually, I--

-Sorry to keep you
waiting, Ryan.

-That's OK.

-Uh, am I interrupting
something?

-No.

No, I've got stuff to do.

So, see you around.

-So, how'd it go at Mako?

-Well, there's definitely been
a rise in temperature.

-This could be normal
fluctuation.

-I really think there's
more to it.

I think there's something
happening out there.

Something unique.

Look, I really need to
do more testing.

If I can get some
specialized--

-No, no.

I need you to check further on
down the coast, see what's

happening down there.

-But--

yeah, sure.

[splash]

-What?

-You're not even acknowledging
me now?

-Why should I?

-OK.

I probably deserve that.

-And the rest of it?

-OK.

Go for it.

Take your best shot.

-Nah.

You're too easy a target
at the moment.

See?

No comeback.

-Not today.

-Don't sulk.

I could be a lot meaner, you
know, without even trying.

-It's not you.

It's the cafe.

It's going under.

-If this is some kind of prank,
I'm not falling for it.

-I wish it was.

But at this rate, I'm going to
have to close the doors by the

end of the week.

-Even after all the
work we did?

-Yeah.

-It's not the same
without you.

-Why not ask your daddy

for money> -I did.

He said that it was
my last chance and

that I had blown it.

It's funny, 'cause that's
exactly what you

said to me about us.

-You're right about the
other necklace.

It's exactly the same crystal.

-She let you look at it?

-I didn't want to push
her too far.

-Cleo's definitely
hiding something.

-They enjoy excluding other
people from their circle.

It makes them feel important,
like they've

got some big secret.

-Mm, what about the third one?

I really need to get
a closer look.

-Rikki?

Don't even bother.

You won't get anything
out of her.

-What if you tried
talking to her?

-Mm.

We don't exactly
see eye to eye.

-That's a shame, because there's
something really

amazing going on
at that island.

Like, something that's never
been seen before.

-And would crystals have
something to do with that?

-Crystals are just the tip of
the iceberg, but I need to get

a look at some to see what's
really happening.

-What's the hold up?

Why don't we just
go out and them?

-I need specialist equipment.

It's something that I
can't get from work.

-Say you had $10,000.

Would that get us everything
we need?

-Yeah.

Yes.

-In that case, there's someone
I'd like you to meet.

-Part of the island was formed
from the impact of a celestial

body and the Earth millions
of years ago.

-And if the crystals came from
that part, they're priceless.

If help Ryan get some,
we get rich.

-Yeah, but it's not
about the money.

It's what I can discover
that--

-Just let me get
this straight.

You want the last of my
money for your hunch?

-It's a gamble.

But what would you rather do?

Take a chance on making a
fortune, or throw your money

down the drain keeping this
place open one more week?

-Do you know where
they are on Mako?

It's a big place.

-There's a cave with
seawater in it.

That's all I'm going to say.

-A lot of people wouldn't be
happy about us mining a place

like Mako.

-But we take a sample.

That's all we need.

-We'd be in and out before
anyone gets wind of us.

-How fast?

-Tonight.

You in?

-It's just a dumb cave.

What harm can it do?

[splash]

-We should put more
potatoes on.

Dad loves them.

-Well, your father won't make
it back for dinner.

He's doing a double shift.

-What?

That's like, the second
time this week.

-Yeah.

They're having to go further out
to find any fish at all.

-Why have all the fish
left the area?

-Sea temperatures maybe?

That's why I've Ryan
out in Cape Mako.

-What?

-Wh-- what has he found?

-Nothing apart from the
rising temperatures.

But that could be
due to anything.

There's so much we don't know
about what effects fish

migration has.

-I think they follow
some sort of cycle.

-Yeah.

There are cases of fish
deserting their areas prior to

a sudden change in their
environment.

-Like what?

A cyclone?

-Yeah, or an earthquake.

Or even a comet.

-A comet?

-Yeah.

Apparently, one recently entered
our solar system.

It's going to be a
close pass too.

It hasn't visited Earth
for 150 years.

-A comet.

-Yes.

That's why the fish
were fleeing.

It's coming our way.

-How does a fish know that a
comet's heading towards earth?

-Animals have a sensitivity to
change that humans don't.

Mako Island could be sending
them a message.

-And us.

I mean, we're kind of part fish,
and we've been feeling

it to.

-I looked up the trajectory of
the comet on the internet.

It said that it entered our
solar system on February 7.

That's the same day as the
first water attack.

-No way.

-It passes Earth at it's closest
tomorrow during the

next full moon.

We'll see it in our skies
coming from the South.

-Like the compass.

-The moon pool heating up.

Probably because it's

preparing itself for something.

-Well, what exactly?

-It has to do with the vision
the water tentacle showed us.

-Where the comet formed Mako?

-Yeah, unless it were
heading for Mako.

-No.

I still don't think we
saw the whole thing.

-Well, I hate to be the one to
let reality creep in, but it's

not a full moon.

And without that, there's
no tentacle.

-But we do that the crystals
store moonlight, and if we

could realize that--

-We might be able to simulate
a full moon.

-We at least have to try.

-It's working.

[rumbling]

-You can't just wait
for us to get in?

[splash]

[whoosh]

-But NASA would know if the
comet's going to hit Earth.

They would have plotted
the path years ago.

-They must have got it
wrong this time.

-NASA don't know
about mermaids.

-I can't explain what you saw.

But I can't believe it either.

-Well, do you believe that the
fish have all deserted the

waters around Mako?

-Sure.

But there could be
other reasons.

-We already know that the
moon pool is changing.

It's heating up.

It's coming alive.

-For what?

-Mako Island was formed
after a collision

with a comet right?

The crystals and the rocks in
the moon pool prove that.

I'll bet that the comet's made
up of the same stuff.

That's why they're attracted
to each other.

-So Mako is drawing it in
like a giant magnet?

-Yes.

-Try telling that to
the authorities.

-Well, regardless, it's
coming home to Momma.

And I don't care how it happens,
I don't' want to be

here when it hits.

-How long have we got?

-The comet passes at its
closest tomorrow.

-So why would it send us a
warning if we weren't meant to

do something about it?

-All of this has to
be for a reason.

-Everything that's
happened to us.

-So what do we do?

-All I know is that the moon
pool holds the answer.

[wind]

-Come on.

Let's get this over with.

-Where do you think
the crystals are?

-Ah!

It's hot.

-What in here?

How?

-That's a good question.

-Who cares?

-This doesn't feel right.

-Get on with it.

[drilling]

[drilling]

-The walls are full
of this stuff.

-I don't think I've never
seen anything like this.

I don't think anyone
on Earth ever has.

-So how do you feel now?

I think we just solved our
financial problems.

Permanently.

[wind]

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 not an
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 weather.

You want to live and learn of
whats 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.
