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.
LET 'EM SEE, I'VE GOT THE POWER IF I JUST BELIEVE.
'CAUSE I'M NO ORDINARY GIRL.
I'M FROM THE DEEP-BLUE UNDERWORLD.
LET 'EM SEE, THE WORLD'S MY OYSTER.
I'M THE PEARL, NO ORDINARY GIRL.
-HI, DARLING.
YOU MIND IF WE BORROW YOUR TELESCOPE TODAY?
-WHATEVER.
-YOU'RE COMING TO WATCH THE COMET, TOO, THOUGH, AREN'T
YOU?
-IT'LL BE LIKE HAVING FRONT-ROW SEATS TO THE BEST
GAME TO HIT TOWN SINCE--
-YOU SHOULDN'T BE CELEBRATING THIS.
YOU SHOULD--
-SHOULD BE WHAT?
-BE WATCHING IT FROM THE COUNTRY, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
COUNTRY.
-NO, BUT THIS IS THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO SEE IT.
APPARENTLY, WE'RE THE CLOSEST ANYONE IS GOING TO GET TO IT.
-IF I HAVE TO STAY, SO DOES SHE.
I'M GOING CAMPING AT MAKO ISLAND WITH THE GIRLS.
IT'S A END-OF-YEAR THING.
-DAD?
-NO, SHE DESERVES IT.
SHE'S FINISHED SCHOOL.
JUST DON'T BE LATE FOR YOUR GRADUATION
DAY CEREMONY TOMORROW.
-SO ACCORDING TO THIS, THE COMET SHOULD
PASS OVERHEAD AT EXACTLY--
-7:32.
-HOW'D YOU KNOW?
-THAT'S WHEN THE FULL MOON WILL BE OVER MAKO TONIGHT.
OK.
OK, SO WE KNOW THAT THE COMET AND THE MOON WERE MADE OF THE
SAME STUFF.
THEY'RE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER.
BUT THAT MEANS THAT WHEN THEY GET CLOSE, IT'S HELLO COMET,
GOODBYE MAKO, GOODBYE EVERYTHING.
-EVERYONE.
-I'VE UM, I FOUND THESE OLD IRISH STORIES WRITTEN AT THE
SAME TIME THAT THE COMET WAS FIRST NAMED.
ACCORDING TO THESE, IT WAS SEEN ON THE IRISH COAST IN THE
EARLY 1700S, RIGHT OVER THE AREA WHERE I BECAME A MERMAID.
THAT CAN'T BE A COINCIDENCE.
-LOTS OF PEOPLE MUST'VE SEEN IT ACROSS IRELAND.
-BUT THESE PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD.
EVERYONE STARTED PANICKING.
-THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO THEY STILL THOUGHT
THE EARTH WAS FLAT.
-PEOPLE SAW THE COMET GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER.
AND THEN IT STARTED TO BURN.
EVERYONE WAS CONVINCED THAT IT WAS GOING TO HIT THEM.
BUT THEN A LOCAL GIRL CALLED EVA TRIED TO
PERSUADE THEM NOT TO PANIC.
-EVA, THE ONE THE COMET'S NAMED AFTER.
NO ONE BELIEVED HER.
AND AS THEY RAN AWAY, THEY SAW HER WALKING
TOWARD THE OCEAN CLIFFS.
AND THEN, "A TOWER OF LIGHT ROSE FROM BEYOND THEM AND
TOUCHED THE FIREBALL.
THE COMET MOVED ON ITS WAY, SPARING THEM."
-THAT'S JUST AN OLD FABLE.
-EVERYONE GAVE THEIR THANKS.
THEY SAID THAT THE GIRL HAD SAVED THEM.
-AND EVA?
-SHE WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN.
-THE TOWER OF LIGHT.
WHAT WAS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT IF WE WERE EVER GOING TO FIND ONE, I WOULD START TO
LOOK AT--
-MOON POOL.
-IT'S WHERE THE SECRET LIES.
-NOT MUCH OF A SECRET ANYMORE.
-YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MINING IN A NATIONAL PARK.
-NO ONE WILL KNOW UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE, RIGHT?
-BUT, THIS IS WHAT WE WENT FOR.
THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH THERE TO CONVINCE THE WORLD THAT
SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY IS GOING ON OUT THERE.
-YOU WANT TO START A GOLD RUSH BEFORE WE'VE EVEN GOT OUR
SHARE?
-AH, HE'S RIGHT.
WE SPLIT WHAT'S HERE, AND EVERYONE'S HAPPY.
THAT WAS THE PLAN.
-THAT WAS BEFORE WE KNEW THE CAVE WAS
LOADED WITH THIS STUFF.
I SAY WE GET ALL WE CAN.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE FOUND ANY OF THIS IF IT WASN'T FOR ME.
I JUST WANT ONE MORE VISIT.
YOU OWE ME THAT MUCH.
-HAVEN'T WE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE?
THAT PLACE MEANS A LOT TO PEOPLE ROUND HERE.
-FORGET THEM.
ONE NIGHT AT MAKO ISLAND, AND WE'D NEVER HAVE TO WORK AGAIN.
-ALL RIGHT.
I'LL MEET YOU GUYS OUT THERE AFTER I'VE CLOSED UP.
-AND THEY'RE GOING TO STEAL MORE.
-I TRIED TO STOP THEM.
-DON'T ACT LIKE YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
-I'M SORRY, RIKKI.
THE CAFE WAS GOING UNDER.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD SOLVE THINGS, NOT THAT
THAT COUNTS FOR MUCH.
-YOU NEVER SHOULD'VE MESSED WITH MAKO.
IT'S POWERFUL, AND MAYBE MORE THAN ANY OF US EVER THOUGHT.
-RIKKI, WAIT.
I WANT TO HELP YOU.
WHATEVER IT IS, I'M THERE.
OK?
AFTER ALL I'VE DONE.
-NO.
IT'S OUR PLACE.
IT'S UP TO US.
-I SWEAR IT'S GETTING HOTTER IN HERE.
WHY IT'S HEATING UP I DON'T KNOW.
-OW!
I COULD DO SOME TESTS AND TRY AND FIND--
-FORGET IT.
JUST GET STARTED.
-WELL, WHAT ABOUT ZANE?
SHOULDN'T WE WAIT FOR HIM?
-THERE'S NO TIME.
GET GOING.
-WILL.
HEY, WILL.
WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT THERE.
NOW.
-I DON'T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT THIS.
LOOK, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF ROCK STRUCTURE SUPPORTS
THIS PLACE.
ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.
-DO IT.
OR I'LL FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN.
-IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
-I DON'T THINK IT'S SAFE IN HERE.
WATCH OUT!
OH NO.
I KNEW THIS WAS A MISTAKE.
THAT'S ENOUGH!
-NOT FOR ME.
-LOOK, THE WALLS ARE UNSTABLE.
WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
-THEN YOU GO.
-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
-I KNEW ONE DAY I'D BE ABLE TO HELP YOU.
LOOK, I'VE SET US UP FOR LIFE.
-WE ALL HAVE TO LEAVE.
-YOU HEARD HIM.
NOW.
-I THOUGHT YOU WERE WITH ME ON THIS.
-SOME THINGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY.
-LEAVE THEM.
-I'M DOING THIS FOR BOTH OF US.
-I DON'T WANT ANY OF IT!
WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU, ME, OR THE MONEY?
I LOVE YOU, SIS.
BUT IF YOU TAKE THESE, YOU'LL LOSE ME.
AND I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU.
-LET'S GET OUT OF HERE NOW.
-THEY'VE WRECKED THE PLACE.
IT'S GOING TO BE OVERHEAD SOON.
WHAT DO WE DO?
-GUYS, WHAT IF THE TOWER OF LIGHT THAT HIT THE COMET
WASN'T JUST LIGHT?
WHAT IF IT WAS WATER?
-WATER.
ANGIZED WATER.
-A TENTACLE.
-IT'S WHAT STOPPED THE COMET.
THAT'S WHAT THE MOON POOL IS FOR.
-IT SHOULD BE HAPPENING BY NOW.
-IT'S TOO WRECKED TO GENERATE THE TENTACLE.
THEY'VE RUINED THE MOON POOL.
ALL THE MAGIC'S GONE.
-BUT, WELL, WE CAN'T JUST GIVE UP.
EVA KNEW THAT THINGS WERE GOING TO BE OK.
SHE KNEW WHAT TO DO, BECAUSE--
BECAUSE SHE WAS A MERMAID.
AND SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TOWER OF LIGHT THAT MOVED
THE COMET AWAY.
-THAT'S HOW THE STORY GOES.
-NO, THAT WAS HER DESTINY.
-SHE NEVER
CAME BACK -GUYS, I--
I THINK YOU SHOULD GO.
-WHAT?
-GET OUT OF HERE, BOTH OF YOU.
-WHY?
-I'M GOING TO STAY ALONE.
TH--
THERE WAS ONLY ONE EVA.
AND I BECAME A MERMAID IN THE SAME POOL THAT SHE DID.
IT MUST BE UP TO ME.
I'VE GOT TO CREATE THE TOWER OF LIGHT.
-NO.
THIS ISN'T JUST UP TO YOU.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THIS TOGETHER.
THIS IS WHY WE WERE CHOSEN AS MERMAIDS, THE THREE OF US.
WE CAN STOP THE COMET.
THIS IS OUR DESTINY TOO.
-WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO EVA.
MAYBE SHE SWAM AWAY AFTERWARDS.
BUT THERE'S THREE OF US.
SO LET'S DO IT, TOGETHER, AS MERMAIDS.
-NOTHING EXCITING EVER HAPPENS AROUND HERE.
WHAT'S THAT?
-THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.
-WHAT IS IT?
-COULDN'T BE HAPPENING.
NOT UNLESS IT'S--
IT'S WHAT?
-ENTERING OUR ATMOSPHERE.
-IS THAT BAD OR SOMETHING?
-WHAT WAS THAT?
-WHAT'S GOING ON?
-IT'S OK.
IT'S MOVING AWAY.
-SO WE'RE SAFE.
-YEAH, F--
FOR A MINUTE THERE I THOUGHT IT WAS--
COULDN'T HAVE BEEN.
-TOLD YOU NOTHING EXCITING EVER HAPPENS AROUND HERE.
-YOU OK?
-WE DID IT.
PRESENTER (OFFSCREEN): LUCY FRY.
ISABELLA HARTLEY.
-I'M SO NOT GOING TO PASS.
RIKKI CHADWICK.
-WHAT'S A PIECE OF PAPER PROVE ANYWAY?
-RIKKI.
-AW, PLEASE, COME ON, PASS.
IF YOU HADN'T SAID THAT, I'D BE FINE.
-AND FINALLY, THIS YEAR'S DOCS IN SCIENCE
GOES TO, CLEO SERTORI.
-YES!
THAT'S MY DAUGHTER.
-WELL DONE, CLEO.
I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK YOU PUT INTO THIS.
-CONGRATULATIONS, AGAIN.
-THANKS.
-LOOKS LIKE YOU DON'T NEED ME TO WATCH OVER YOU ANYMORE.
-I THINK WE'LL ALWAYS NEED EACH OTHER.
-SO, YOU COMING HOME AFTER THIS?
-AH, WE'RE GOING OUT TO CELEBRATE.
-OK, WELL, HAVE FUN.
I MEAN IT.
GOOD LUCK.
-THANKS.
-I NEVER THOUGHT OF YOU AS A NERD BEFORE.
WOW.
-YOU DID REALLY WELL.
-WE ALL DID.
YOU KNOW, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY THIS, BUT AFTER EVERYTHING
THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, I'M GOING TO MISS THIS PLACE.
-MM.
AH, CLEO.
-WELL, I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO.
-YEAH, I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I NEED TO BREATHE.
-HEY, YOU DIDN'T COME ALL THIS WAY JUST TO SEE ME, DID YOU?
-OH, WELL, I HEARD THAT THERE WAS A NEW
SCIENCE GENIUS IN TOWN.
AND I WANTED TO CHECK OUT THE COMPETITION.
-OK.
-IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK IN HERE.
IT FEELS RIGHT, SOMEHOW.
-DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP.
I'M JUST VISITING.
-WELL, COME BACK ANYTIME, ANYTIME AT ALL.
-I HAVE A FEELING I'LL BE SPENDING MY ENTIRE SUMMER--
-LET ME GUESS, MAKO.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU EVER NEED ANY COMPANY OUT THERE--
-I'LL BE SURE TO ASK ANYONE EXCEPT YOU.
-THAT WAS A JOKE, RIGHT?
-WOW, IN PUBLIC AND EVERYTHING.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SHY GUY I USED TO KNOW?
-HE MET SOMEONE, SOMEONE REALLY SPECIAL.
-I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.
-I THINK YOU'RE ON.
