I've got a special power
that I'm not afraid to use
So come on this is my adventure
this is my fantasy,
it's all about living in the ocean,
being wild and free.
Coz I'm no ordinary girl.
I'm from the deep blue underworld,
land or sea
I've got the power if I just believe.
Coz 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.
you're a ??
your ?? broke because it's for age through
i'm sorry,i didn't know
wake up,lady,get with it
Zane,don't be rude
give the lady's a chance to speak
this old bat's boat broke free and hit mine
it put a scratch on my ??,look
i said i'm sorry
she said she's sorry
it's not gonna pay for the damage,is it?
i bet she doesn't even have insurance
this boat shouldn't even be here
-it's an embarrassment -Zane,you're overacting,even for you
am i?
let's see what the harbor master thinks
don't worry,he's all talk
thank you,Emma
come aboard
thank you
you're her
that's perceptive
the lady Cleo always talk about
it's nice to be talked about
she didn't even told me you lived on a boat
i didn't tell her i was a ?? either
and that's another tale
oh i'm sorry,i've made you uncomfortable
and i'm not a very good host
and i haven't have anyone else on board the Lorelei for 23 years
Mrs. Chatham
oh,Mr. Hendrix
would you care have some ice tea
you know why i'm here,Mrs. Chatham
another complain has been received
people seen to complaining so much these days
a regularity was just hard to ignore when they concern you
i'll take that as a compliment
you care about me,lovely
-are you gonna evict he or not? -leaves this to me
Mrs. Chatham,we've spoken on many occasions
on the last occasion,i've reminded you of unpay boring fees that go back 5 years
well i don't recall those
??several request to maintain your vessel according to regulations
i really must open those letters,i've been meaning to read them
you're getting evicted lady,you're gone
-do you mind,i'm having this -well,hurry it up
why are you doing this?
we've been pretty patience with Mrs. Chatham ??
you can't throw her out
you will be alright
do you want me to come to the hospital with you?
they want my treasure
just try to rest
don't let them get my treasure
i didn't mean to give the old biddy a heart attack
maybe you should tell her that
the ambulance guy said it could've be more serious
she stopped taking her medication
poor lady
her name's Mrs. Chatham
is she that weird old lady that lives on a boat?
yeh,that's her,how do you know her?
no,i don't,i've just heard about her
she lives on that ??
no friends,no family,whole alone
she's the one that seens to know all about the full moon
and our powers,and our tails
some people say she's a witch
and if they said she was a ?? would you beleive that?
there was a time i didn't beleive in mermaids either
so where's Emma?
i'm not sure,she just said she was going out for a while
alright,we said we all meet here
but that's alright
no hurry,i can fill in time
sounds like her now
it's about time
where've you been?
don't stare,it's rude
this is Mrs. Chatham
-Mrs. Chatham,this is... -you must be Rikki
ah...yeh
mom,we've got a houseguest
the hospital discharge Mrs. Chatham
she'll be fine if she take some meditations and get some rest
i thought this will be a good place for that,OK?
that'd be fine,darling
hello,i'm Lisa
i don't want to be a bother
but Emma insisted
she can be very strong will
yes,i've noticed
could we have a word,please?
sure
you should've asked,Emm
you would've said no
mom,she needs our help,she's homeless
yes,but there are welfare agencies that look after people in her situation,they're not alone
but she is alone
that's why she's homeless
sorry i'm late
hello,Cleo
hi
alright,Mrs. Chatham if you would like to come with me,i'll show you to the spare room
oh,you're very kind
is that your natural haircut?
you brought her here?
what can i do?
the harbor master wants to move her boat from the marina
he say she can't stay there
but you brought her here
just for a while
we're trying talk to the harbor master
make him see some reason
Emma,this old lady knows about us
what if she say something to your mom or dad?
she won't
she's smart and i'm sure she's just great
you hope?
look,Cleo,we're probably worrying about nothing
i mean has she ever actually said to you "i know you're a mermaid"
not in those words exactly
but everything she said about the full moon turned out to be true
didn't it?
my husband and i bought that boat many many years ago now
he died about 15 years ago
you must be like a hundred years old then
-Elliot! -not quit
still,i couldn't get rid of the Lorelei(the boat)
we had so many happy memories on her
oh,look Emma's back
she knows a lot about the water
i don't think so,i don't swim competitively anymore
right,not competitively
still,the Lorelei is serving me well
if i had to start her,i'm sure the motor will start
and what if it doesn't?
then you just have to make the water work for you
right,Cleo?
what?oh,no,i wouldn't know
hello
Gracie
for you,it's the harbor master
now she's getting phone calls here
hello
what?
but
but you can't
no but,but you can't
what is it?
they're taking my boat away from me
yes,i can't use it anymore it doesn't meet with that silly regulations
it's all i've got and they take it away
Rikki,it's her home
we gotta help her
you're kidding
it's a ?? of junk
??
let's stop arguing and start painting
it needs more than paint
needs a new boat
Rikki being negative,what a surprise
get real,we can't do this
and even you did,it's not gonna make a differents
i know trying to help,but you're wasting your time
the boat's got rusted all through its structure framework,do i need to go on?
that is your opinion,not mine
i'll beleive in her
no you can't do that
i prefer this ??
it's my home,i live here
Mrs. Chatham,they're just doing what they think is right
he's trying to help
i've got to get my things
they just after my treasure
the paint job cost a few ?? so the jet ski look as good as new
just go home,back to my place,i'll talk about it there
they're after my treasure,all of them
what does she mean by treasure?
no idea
that was delicious
well,i can't take all the credit
this was Mrs. Chatham's recipe for ??
well,i was brilliant
thank you,i'll help you clean up
no,nonsense
Cleo,could you help get Mrs. Chatham nice and comfortable in the sofa,please?
and don't forget to take the medications
darling,you know that i love having her here
but you realise this can't go any ??
i know,mom
you did the right thing helping her,but she needs a right place,a permanent home
just a few more days
then what?
friendship,that's the most important thing
i appreciate what you trying to do for me
but the burden you carrying
is too great too carry alone
wait,what burden?
Oh,that one
when you're different
it helps that you have friends who understand
i had friends
did they dress like you?
this was long ago
we were younger,i wasn't always this old
or maybe i was
when you say "burden"
what do you mean?
when it got too great for me,i had to give it up(the power)
you can do that?
it's getting late,i think we should all being bed
but we're just starting to get interesting
Mrs. Chatham's right,it's getting late
-good night,girls -would you like me to show you to your room?
it's alright,i know where i'm going
see you tomorrow,Mrs. Chatham
did you miss me?
alright,Lorelei
don't fail me now
20 years since i heard that sound
that feels better
you won't like that
Elliot,have you seen Mrs. Chatham?
she's not in her room and her things gone
what's this?
that old bat,she did this
Zane you don't know that
yes,i do
what?that's how she want ??
she doesn't know who she's messing with
Zane
Lewis,i need you
i need your boat and i need you to drive it
good girl,we're making good time
you can't run old lady
no one wrecks my jet ski
you're not getting away with that
you can't swim because?
Zane's out there chasing her,he'd see me
hurry up,Lewis
would you stay away from me?
forget it lady,don't even trying
don't get excited
i want compensation,you wrecked jet ski
i want money
-i don't have any money -don't lie to me
you've got treasure here,somewhere?
you can't have them
just watch me
there's the Lorelei
look,near the Mako Island main ??
he's already here
it wasn't my fault
i didn't do anything
she's still breathing
Zane,there's gotta be some pills down there
go and have a look
did you find anything?
come on,Zane
she needs to get in Lewis's boat
she needs the hospital
Zane,if she dies now,it'd be your fault
thanks Zane,come on,let's go,get in
she will be alright,i'm staying
Zane,if you touch any of her things
i'll catch up
there isn't time to argue let's go
so much for the treasure
oh,no
where's Zane?
i can't see him
i'll have to go down
you can't,he'll know your secret
she doesn't have a choice
do you,Emma?
make sure she gets to the hospital,Lewis
stay with her
i can't,you need a doctor
it's alright,you floated up,i draw you to the shore
but i went down,i couldn't get out
somehow you did
you're lucky
there was something down there
something,i don't know
did you see anything?
no
yeh,well i saw something
and i'm gonna find out exactly what it was
i've got something for you
my treasure
you found it
wasn't easy,it's pretty dark down there now
i'm sorry about the Lorelei
it was 1955,i'm the one on the left
i thought so
and Juliet and Gracie
where are they now?
gone
thank you,it's mean more to me than anything
i've got the retirement village on the line
there's a vacancy if you want it
you've done more than enough to me
i'm sure i like it there
she'll take it
i will miss the excitement
i bet you will
