Today is the day

we show those

mermaids and dolphins

who's boss around here.

B-B-But how, b-boss?

"B-B-But how, boss?"

By proving we're the meanest

g*ng to swim the seven seas.

Oh, look at that.

Our first victim.

[gasps]

[fish] Oh, my goodness,

my poor little darling.

Lost all alone out at sea.

Don't you worry,

I'm sure we'll find him.

Look, he's over there!

Oh! The Vandals found him first.

You ain't g-g-going nowhere,

f-f-fishy.

Huh? B-B-Boss! The m-mermaids!

So what? Show some backbone.

You're scared because three

teenagers are staring at us?

We can do a lot more than

just stare, big bullies.

Burke, you're up!

We've had just about enough

of you three...

Look out, Cleo! Oh, no, Cleo!

Let go of me, you slimy octopus.

Come on, Ziggy!

- [struggles]

- Hang on!

[Emma] Oh, what a pretty

ice cube. [laughs]

You and your magic.

That's cheating.

Serves you right.

Oh, Ziggy. We were so scared.

D-D-Don't leave me here, guys.

I'm c-c-c-cold.

Alright, Burke, get him out.

Burke coming, Dany.

[Murray] Those darn mermaids!

If it wasn't for them, we'd

already be kings of the sea.

I can't stand those

show-off dolphins either.

They're just t-t-too strong

for us. They have p-p-p...

Yes, I know they have powers.

What's with all the jellyfish?

- [Dany] J-J-Jellyfish?

- Go away!

Ow! Ow, ow, ow!

Oh, jellyfish sting Burke!

Alright, what the heck

do you want?

Careful, Murray,

them jellyfish sting.

We're going to... [stutters]

Relax. We're not going to die.

Listen up, jelly brains.

I've got a proposition for you.

[Rikki] What a great day.

Did you see the look

on Murray's face?

It was priceless.

I hope I'm not interrupting

your little chat, girls.

Maybe you'd like to share it

with the rest of the class.

As I was saying...

So, chatterboxes,

nothing more to say?

[teacher] There'll be

a written test tomorrow.

Oh, no! Sir, you can't hold

the test tomorrow!

And why not, Miriam?

Because tomorrow is

the first day of the big sales.

- I can't miss that.

- Really?

[all laugh]

Hey, you OK?

You gonna survive?

- [school bell rings]

- [teacher] OK, study hard.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, man. functions are

my worst nightmare.

[Cleo] Yeah, no kidding.

[crabs mutter]

[Vandals laugh]

Look out. The Vandals!

[they laugh]

Oh, we've got to do something.

I'm tired of them

pushing us around.

I'm telling you, boys,

this bay belongs to us.

That's what you think, Murray.

Hey!

We don't want you around here.

All you do is scare everybody.

Us? But we're so friendly.

Hey, jellyfish, show them

how friendly we are.

[laughs]

- Ow!

Get them!

Come on, guys, get out of here!

[all scream]

[hums]

[sighs]

Oh, man, I studied all evening

and dreamt about it all night.

I still don't understand it.

I'm going to get a zero.

Come on, girls, relax.

Functions are child's play.

- Easy for you to say.

- [Emma] Yeah, brainiac.

And it gets even worse.

I lost my cellphone.

I can't find it anywhere.

- [alarm rings]

- Alright, you heard the alarm.

Make your way to the yard

quickly but calmly.

Did you guys hear? Someone

called the fire department

- about a fire in the school.

- Maybe an experiment.

A chemistry class gone wrong?

[laughs]

Hmm?

[boy] What is it?

[boy 2] It's all sticky.

Hi there, kids.

What have you found?

A baby jellyfish. I'm gonna

keep it and bring it home.

[Mr. Lambert] Hmm...

[gasps]

No, don't touch it!

Get away from it, kids.

It's a very dangerous

jellyfish.

They don't usually

live around here... Ow!

They're everywhere!

Don't go in the water.

It's full of jellyfish.

You better go home now.

I've got to warn everybody.

- What, closed for the day?

- Yeah, that's normal.

The firemen have to investigate

where and how

the fire might have started.

You know what that means?

No math test today!

[Rikki] Hey!

Didn't they ever teach you

any manners?

Whoa. Hold on. Sorry, miss,

but the store is closed today.

Huh? Closed?

What do you mean closed?

The boss was stung

by a jellyfish.

I can't run the store

by myself.

A jellyfish?

I don't believe this.

This is unacceptable!

We're dealing with an onslaught

of pelagia noctiluca.

It's a type of jellyfish that

can cause very painful burns.

Which is why I have decided

to prohibit

all swimming in Dolphin City

and all water traffic

on the canals.

What advice can you give

to anyone

who's come into contact

with these jellyfish?

They should come to the

Oceanic Center immediately.

An emergency unit has been

set up for that very purpose.

This is serious. Our friends

in the bay could be in danger.

We've absolutely got to

see what's happening.

Hey, Rikki, your dad is here.

- Rikki.

- Dad?

I just learned there was

an alarm at the school.

The principal called me

to say they traced the call

- and it came from your phone.

- What? That's not possible.

It couldn't have been me. I

didn't have my phone. I lost it.

Huh? I don't believe this.

It was because of the math quiz!

Nice going, Rikki.

- But...

- Come on, young lady,

you've got

some explaining to do.

[Rikki] It wasn't me!

You can consider yourself

grounded

until I say otherwise.

I know Rikki's a bit of a rebel,

but calling in a false alarm?

We'll figure it out later.

Right now our friends

are being threatened

- by dangerous jellyfish.

- [phone rings]

[Mr. Lambert] Cleo? I need you

to come to the Center.

Jeff's stuck in town and I'm

alone dealing with the injured.

Come as quick as you can.

It's urgent.

Yeah, sure, I'm on my way.

Emma, I'm so sorry.

Lots of people have been stung

- and Mr. Lambert needs me.

- It's alright. You go.

- I'll handle this.

- Thanks!

Huh?

- Bernie!

- Emma, it's you.

- What's going on here?

- The Vandals have joined forces

with those horrible

little jellyfish.

[Murray] There she is.

[chuckles]

[screams]

Faster!

This is not going to be

a one-person job.

Lewis, you'd better be free.

[girl] Mommy, it hurts.

It stings!

[woman] It won't be long, honey.

[girl] It stings.

[woman] The nice lady is

going to make it all better.

[Cleo] It's going to hurt

a little. There you go.

- Thank you.

- [woman] Thank you, Miss.

I'm next. [laughs]

[Lewis] The jellyfish

probably migrated to the bay

because of some weird

climate phenomenon,

so maybe they'll leave

on their own.

Not likely. The Vandal g*ng

brought those jellyfish there

to help them

take control of the bay.

So you want me to take on

a hammerhead shark, moray eel,

and an octopus in the middle of

a horde of poisonous jellyfish?

Isn't that more

in a mermaid's line of work?

But I'm all alone.

Cleo is at the Center

- and Rikki's been grounded.

- Grounded?

She's the one who called in

the false alarm.

They traced the call back

to her cellphone.

You mean the cellphone

she lost yesterday?

That's kind of strange,

don't you think?

[man] An extraordinary invasion

of jellyfish has appeared

on the shores of Dolphin City.

There's no explanation

for the whole thing yet,

but the events have already

resulted in numerous attacks.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

I never should have

doubted you, Rikki.

Lewis thinks you were set up.

We're gonna find out who by.

But we'll need your phone

to find out who really called in

the false alarm.

We've got to run.

Sorry, Rikki. We've got

to get you out of there

so you can come and help me

save the bay. See you!

[Sue] Leave? But why?

[woman] Where do

these jellyfish come from?

[man] We can't leave the bay.

Let me speak!

Leaving is the only solution.

You've seen

what they're capable of.

We've got to leave the bay.

What about the dolphins?

Zita's gone to get them.

- They're waiting for us.

- Waiting where?

I found a spot

where we can all hide.

Come on, follow me!

[Carlotta] Run off and hide?

Never, I tell you. Never!

I'll never be driven out

of my home.

Besides, they're jellyfish,

like me.

A little naughty admittedly,

but I can talk sense into them.

[Bernie] Talk to them?

Get real, Carlotta.

My mind's made up. I'm staying.

Once I've got everyone

to safety,

I'm coming back for you.

That's it. I've hacked into

the school's phone database.

There, see. It's a list of all

the calls the school received,

and here's the one

that matches the false alarm.

Listen to this.

It's the recording of the call.

[girl]

Hello, it's an emergency.

I'm calling about a fire.

The school is on fire.

I saw smoke. You've got to

get everybody out of there.

That isn't Rikki's voice. But it

does sound kind of familiar.

Yeah, it does.

But first things first.

We have to free Rikki.

Don't forget, apply

the ointment twice a day.

[Bernie] Cleo, hey, Cleo!

- Over here! Hello?

- Who's calling me?

Woohoo!

Hey, Cleo!

Bernie? What are you doing here?

[Bernie] Open the gate, quick!

[Cleo] I'm coming!

OK.

[Bernie] Woohoo! It's this way.

Come on.

Huh?

What are you all doing here?

The jellyfish are attacking

anything that moves.

Only the clams are safe.

Gosh. If Mr. Lambert sees you...

[Bernie] But we had

to save everybody.

Whoa, hang on. Did you bring

the whole bay here?

Well, not quite. Carlotta,

that stubborn old diva,

decided to try to talk some

sense into her fellow jellies.

We can't leave her out there.

We've got to go get her.

[hums]

[father] Rikki...

I want to apologize.

Huh? What?

Lewis just played me

the recording

of the call made to the school.

It wasn't you after all.

So you're free to go.

Cleo, stop apologizing.

Everybody makes mistakes.

- Everybody, that is, except me.

- [all laugh]

Just how many of them

are in there?

Too many. It's a disaster.

There's not enough room

for them.

And if Mr. Lambert finds them

it'll be a double disaster.

Uh...

I don't get it. There's no sign

of the jellyfish or the Vandals.

Maybe Carlotta

talked them into leaving.

[Emma] There's Carlotta!

Over there.

Oh! No!

- [Carlotta] No.

- [Murray laughs]

What are you doing here?

It's a trap.

Exactly. And this time,

there won't be any dolphins

to save your tails.

Flee!

Huh?

[Murray] Game over.

The mermaids have lost

and the Vandals are now

the masters of the bay.

And you think

we're just gonna give up?

As a matter of fact, no,

which is why you'll be leaving

the bay forever.

[all whimper]

You're going to go far away,

and you won't be coming back.

Because if you do, we'll unleash

the jellyfish on your friends.

So, do we have a deal?

- [knocking on door]

- Come in!

Uh, do you have a minute?

Lewis, it's you.

Look, I've told you before,

the school simply can't afford

to build a particle accelerator.

No, no, no, it's not about that.

Huh?

[Murray] So?

OK, it's a deal. You've won.

We'll leave.

What? Rikki?

But if we leave,

you've got to release Carlotta.

Sure, with pleasure.

OK, hit the trail.

Yes, precisely.

There are no more jellyfish

either in the port

or in the canals.

[reporter] That was the mayor

of Dolphin City.

Finally, beautiful bargains,

here I come.

- [phone rings]

- Lewis, is that you?

- What do you want?

- Me? Oh, nothing.

- Just to hear your voice.

- What?

What is this? Some kind of joke?

You got a screw loose

or something?

- What's this about?

- Hold on.

Here. I'll show you.

This is the recording I just

made of Miriam's voice.

What? What is this?

Some kind of joke?

You got a screw loose

or something?

Now I'll play you

another recording.

This one is the person

who called in the false alarm.

[Marcel] You could say

excuse me!

[Robby] Me apologize

to a grouper?

You should apologize

for having such a big mouth.

[Marcel] Me a big mouth?

That's fighting talk.

OK, everybody, calm down.

Alright, everyone, listen up.

I've got important news.

You can all come back out now.

Thanks to the mermaids,

the Vandals will leave us alone.

[cheering]

OK, Bernie, you're up.

[Bernie] You sure

there's no one around?

OK, more to the left.

No, still a bit lower.

There, almost.

- [fish] Wow, it's opening.

- [fish 2] Yay, we're free!

[all cheer]

Carlotta, what happened

to the Vandals?

And where are the girls?

Banished by those awful bullies.

They sacrificed themselves

for us.

I'm afraid the Vandals

rule the bay now.

[Vandals laugh]

[Murray] Oh, look,

it's the superior mammals.

Not quite so special now,

are you?

[Dany] M-M-M-Mammals!

[Bernie] Hmm...

Rikki, you know

where we're heading?

- Yeah.

- And is it much further?

Uh, no.

Oh!

[Rikki] Quick, higher!

Whoa, whoa!

It's the giant octopus.

I'd forgotten

it lived around here.

[Cleo] Brilliant. And it's

chasing off all the jellyfish.

So, what do you think

of my plan?

[sighs] It's good to be king.

[Burke] Boss!

Burke in trouble.

[screams]

[all whimper]

Hey, jellyfish, don't leave.

Come back!

We.. We had a deal.

[cheering]

Well, normally we'd be happy

to stick around and chat,

but we've got to get back home.

- Burke thought this home.

- Numbskull.

[Murray] You haven't heard

the last of us!

[cheering]

[gasps]

Oh, this and this and this, too.

Yes!

[chuckles]

Daddy?

It was all for this?

You called a false alarm

into the school to go shopping?

But you won't believe

the bargains, Daddy.

I mean, look at

this cute little top.

- Your credit card.

- Huh?

Confiscated!

Miss, are you alright?

[Lewis] When I played both voice

recordings to the principal,

she realized Miriam

was the guilty party.

Lucky for us

we've got a genius in the g*ng.

There's still a thing or two

I'd like to say to that rat,

Miriam.

She stole my cellphone and

tried to pin the blame on me.

What kind of person does that?

- [Miriam] It was dumb of me.

- Speak of the devil.

I know you can probably

never forgive me,

but I just couldn't stand

the thought

of missing all of those

bargains. I'm really sorry.

Now that was

an historic moment.

Bravo, Miriam. I know

that wasn't easy for you.

However, I'm afraid you still

have your detention in school.

Will you at least give me back

my credit card, dearest Daddy?

[father] Absolutely not.

We'll discuss this later on.

[Miriam] What? But you promised.

That's not fair.

Come on, Daddy,

please give me back my card.

Daddy doesn't want his little

Miriam to be sad, does he?
