01x02 - Flower of the Sea

[bunniefuu]

[squealing] Stop!

[laughing] Stop!

[gentle music]

-I don't know.

-Yeah? Maybe?

Maybe?

-Maybe.

-Maybe.

Alright, love birds.

-You were talking about us, right?

-Yep.

All aboard.

-Out! Out!

-Alright! Alright!

Send us off!

You guys are doing it! You're doing it!

[triumphant laughter]

Henry! The answer's yes!

-Yes to what?

- She'll be my date.

The Salvation Day festival.

[siren wailing]

[jaunty sea-faring music]

[bell tolling]

Morning, Mrs. Volkov.

Please, it's Viktorya. Thank you for

heeding an old woman's request.

A good man comes when he's called.

True. Please sit.

[Viktorya] Such a sad business about the

'Indy'.

Poor young Henry.

Did they find anything to explain

why Lauren just vanished?

No.

Which brings me to the second sad point.

[Viktorya] Every year, you run the old

lighthouse for the Salvation Day festival.

It appears we have had

some damage to the old lighthouse.

If it's still standing,

we'll get it working.

[Viktorya] I overhead my Renee

talking to the engineer.

They want to put all their efforts

into the power grid,

so we can get ready for the festival.

So the old lighthouse might

not get the attention it needs.

I'm afraid so.

No one cares about

our old traditions anymore.

First festival without the lighthouse.

It's a shame.

Still, the man knows best.

I know that you

and your lovely wife Seraphine

were never too interested

in our little church.

But you are welcome anytime.

Thank you.

[Viktorya] I can imagine it can't have

been easy for you since she passed away.

I have my Maddie.

She keeps me on my toes.

I'm glad.

[Viktorya] It is not good for

an older person to be cooped up alone.

The mind starts to…

[chuckling]

[girl] Hey, guys, I'm Lauren,

welcome back to the Diving Rose.

Today we're doing a deep dive down 30m,

one of my favourite dive sites ever.

And don't tell the girls,

we might see a reef shark or two.

They're going to be so angry.

See you down there. Bye!

Why are you watching The Diving Rose?

I'm so sorry, I was just curious.

Is that a bit weird?

-No!

-Yes.

This episode is so good.

Anna gets a jellyfish stuck in her wetsuit

and we had to cut it off.

-Just gonna do a little

-The WETSUIT, Stevie! Not my hair!

[laughter]

-[Maddie] Anna, Anna stop!

-[Anna] Get it off me!

I adored that wetsuit.

-Hey, question?

-Mm?

How are you watching this when there's no

power?

[video stops]

Is that a tri-generation power

core?

-[Izzie] Sure is.

-[Maddie] And a Hard Trek Communicator.

OK, now we've lost her.

And a K-917.

[stammers]

-Is this your mum?

-[Anna] Maddie!

Yeah, it is. She's on a dig

in the Middle East.

What about your parents?

Oh, they, um

they passed away a few years ago.

-I'm so sorry.

-Don't be.

Mostly it is loss that teaches us

about the worth of things.

Who even has walkie-talkies anymore?

[beeping]

When you travel with my dad, you just

never know where you're gonna end up.

[Izzie] Sometimes walkie-talkies

are all we've got.

[Maddie] Two-way radios are actually

incredibly useful

when infrastructure's compromised.

[Izzie] Yeah, well, authorities

tend to pick and choose

what information

they release to the public.

These make sure we get the whole picture,

not just what they want us to know.

[walkie-talkie crackles]

Shh! Shh!

[man on radio] Attention Chief Rose.

Mayor Volkov is at the station

requesting an urgent meeting.

[Chief Rose] I'm down at the wharf

waiting for a search crew swap-over.

If she wants to talk,

she can meet me down here.

Do you think they've found something?

Your gear, is it only for,

like, urgent situations, or?

Didn't he just say it was

an urgent meeting?

-Morning, Chief!

-Oh. Goodness.

I thought you were Stevie.

Nope. Just me. Me being nonchalant.

[Maddie] Same Jeep as last year?

Yes, Maddie.

Same car since 1997.

[Maddie] Still, I've always liked this

car. It's nice.

It's sleek.

It's good for catching bad guys.

[Chief] Maddie, is there something

we can help you with?

Ah, what do these buttons do?

[siren wails]

Don't touch that! That's the siren.

I'm incredibly busy,

I don't have time for this.

I better go, Chief.

It was nice being out with you, you know,

my dad's not around and all that.

- Oh, well

-I gotta go. Bye!

All good?

I see two search crews

have gone out this morning.

Thought I'd take advantage

of the receding tide.

I can't imagine what you must be feeling.

Perhaps finding the 'Indy'

provides some closure.

Closure on what?

Time is not on our side.

[Chief] We still have a window.

[Mayor] It's been four days, Jack.

You know protocol better than anyone.

[Chief] Renee! Please.

[Mayor] We're exhausting the little

resources we have.

We're burning through the budget,

which I wouldn't mind if there was

Hope?

It's protocol.

After tomorrow, search and rescue teams

will scale down.

Efforts will focus on recovery.

We're not giving up, Renee!

If I need to dredge the entire ocean

to make things right,

then that's exactly what I'll do.

Now, if you'll excuse me

..I've gotta do some work.

Perhaps you should do the same.

At least the Chief isn't giving up.

[Stevie] Man, Henry looks miserable.

[Maddie] He was Lauren's boyfriend.

Well, they broke up two weeks ago.

One of us should see how he's doing.

Hey.

She doesn't wanna talk to you.

Wow! You got a chaperone now.

[Anna] Nope! Just standards.

Ouch. But let me guess - a cheeseburger

with no cheese for Anna,

cheeseburger with extra cheese for Stevie,

mac and cheese,

side of pickles for Maddie?

-And

-I'll grab a tropical burger, thanks.

Coming up.

Don't feel guilty, Stevie.

You did the right thing

breaking up with Hayden.

Yeah, well he was in juvenile detention.

I didn't really have much choice.

He had choices and they led him

to a six-month sentence!

Shhh!

Only went for three, though.

Well, isn't that a good thing?

I mean, they wouldn't let him out if he

was a criminal mastermind or someth

I'll be at the skatepark later

if you're around.

[slurps loudly]

-How's Henry?

-Sad.

Irrefutably thoughtful, as always.

But I got him to talk.

I know where he found the 'Indy'.

Anna, eyes on the sand.

Maddie, you scan the drop-off.

I'll focus on the rock bed.

Slow and methodical.

OK?

Are you guys sure I should be here?

I'm gonna be honest with you, Lizzie.

Ikind of forgot you were here.

More eyes, the better.

[Anna] Izzie, you're gonna be on coral.

The current might have

wedged something in there.

And when we're underwater,

this is the symbol for 'OK'.

-Ok.

-And remember, 'fins', not 'flippers'.

-[Anna] 'Mask', not 'goggles'.

-Not 'goggles'.

OK.

-Is that heavy?

-You get used to it.

Besides, it's lighter underwater.

Stevie's sister is a dive master -

she can teach you.

I might just I might just stay here.

Come on!

If she wants to just read her book, it's

fine, the tide's not gonna wait.

[gentle music]

[music intensifies]

-[Anna] Where did you find that?

-[Stevie] Are you sure that's hers?

Yeah, I'm sure.

That's the scratch

from Lauren's dive knife.

I'm going back down.

There might be more.

Wait, Stevie, how much air

do you have left?

I've got plenty.

- Stevie

-OK, I've got 30.

That's not even half a tank!

This is where people do

stupid things and get hurt.

-I don't care!

-Well, I do!

And I'm not adding your mum and dad

to the list of greedy parents.

Fine! Fine!

Alright, let's get it to the clubhouse.

OK?

-OK.

-OK.

Welcome to Dive Club.

This is magical.

Yeah, well, we don't normally let

strangers in here,

but you helped us out today, Lizzie,

so we're willing to make an exception.

These are our dive logs.

There's an app for it now but

I like to keep things analogue.

[chuckles]

[Maddie] This is a map of every shipwreck

along the reef.

And that's where we keep our tanks

and wetsuits and all that stuff.

Grand tour later, Maddie.

We need to see what's on Lauren's phone.

Guess we'll wait for the phone to charge.

Are these real?!

Real diamonds are the hardest substance

in the world. Give me.

See? Scratched.

-They're never real.

-[laughs]

And what about this?

[Maddie] There are heaps of shipwrecks

along the coast.

Tide brings all sorts of

stuff into the bay.

-[gasps]

-Sorry!

Maddie pulled it out of a rock

like King Arthur.

It was pretty incredible.

So was the shark that followed us

back to the boat.

-He was alright.

-Easy for you to say. You had the sword.

[girls giggle]

Oh Anna! Your great-grandmother, right?

[Stevie] [rolls tongue]

Mercy of the Russian shipwreck.

The town's obsessed with her.

Well, that is who Cape Mercy

was named after.

Anna's family is really fancy.

She's just slumming it with us.

So what did Mercy do?

[winding, clicking]

[Maddie] 1918, a convoy of Russians

fleeing the Revolution

are shipwrecked off the coast

of an unknown island.

[Anna] Their ship sinking fast,

the passengers huddle

in on their little lifeboats,

alone in darkness,

unable to make out land.

[Anna] Their only salvation.

Then, suddenly, a light pierces the gloom.

[Stevie] A young woman stands up,

a lantern burning in her hand.

She scans the dark and churning waters

and demands they sail west!

All night, she braved the journey

from the shore to the wreck

'til all souls were saved from the ravages

of the heartless sea.

Nothing but a single flame in her hand.

She was a guiding light.

A star - nay, a lodestar.

[Stevie] Once on land, she stood atop

Flagstaff Hill,

her lantern burning bright,

shouting at the wild sea,

"That all you got?!"

And that's the story.

With a bit of artistic license.

[Anna] Every year, the Salvation Day

festival celebrates Mercy's rescue.

People get dressed up, tourists love it.

You'll probably get roped into it.

Not likely, we usually

don't stay put for long.

[beeping and buzzing]

[all gasping]

That's a good case!

I'm in!

Ah, you're a good man, Henry.

Look at you.

You got no wind in your sails.

When's your father get back?

He's still trawling.

For another few weeks.

[Henry] Big water's kept them away.

Well, you pop in whenever you

feel like a feed, lad.

Sugared lobster is just next door.

Yeah, I'll remember that.

Henry, you did an important

thing finding that boat.

Thanks, Sea Dog.

Hey, bro. Heading for a skate.

You wanna come?

Can't, man. Chief's going out again.

I wanna help.

I heard the Chief's gone rogue,

he's doing his own search.

Yeah, well, she might still be out there.

Henry, it'll be alright, she'll turn up.

I gotta go.

Does the Chief know

Lauren broke up with you?

-It was mutual.

-Come on, bro.

OK, mutual-ish.

I'll catch you later, man.

[tense music]

[Anna] OK, let's watch Lauren's videos.

Chief's out searching again.

[Lauren] So we're gonna have a bit of a

race today on my channel.

It's Hayden versus Henry.

Alright, Maddie, call it.

Go!

Oh, my god! [laughing]

[Lauren squealing]

He's picked me up!

[contemplative music]

[squealing and laughing]

Wait, wait, wait! [laughing]

Mwah!

Hey, Dive Club, it's, er, Hayden.

Just third-wheeling again with these

two.

[giggling]

-You ready?

-Yep.

[laughing]

-[Henry] I don't know what to say?

I've never been on YouTube before.

-[Lauren] Say hi to my channel,

my audience.

-[Henry] What's going on, Dive Club?

We're about to take the boat out.

The 'Indy'.

Yeah, it's a beautiful day.

It is a lovely day.

[laughing]

[contemplative music]

To be able to hang out with Stevie,

Anna and Maddie every single day

going out on the 'Indy' diving

has been one of the most incredible

experiences of my life.

To not have a mum in my life has been

really heartbreaking,

but with those three girls

It's just this sisterhood that we're

going to have forever.

Love you all.

[thunder rumbling]

I think someone is following me.

I found something and they want it.

[Lauren] They broke into my room

trying to find it.

I don't know who to trust.

I don't think I can trust anyone, not even

my dad.

[music intensifies]
