00:00:00A great poet once said that all the secrets of the oceans can be found in just one drop of water.
00:00:08Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that the ocean holds more than just a few secrets.
00:00:14And one summer, I discovered one that would change my life forever.
00:00:31Your mom and I used to come here all the time.
00:00:34Really?
00:00:36I, uh...
00:00:38Your mom loved the central coast.
00:00:41She would come stare at the water for hours and hours.
00:00:48Your mom only met your grandpa once.
00:00:51I can tell you he liked her a lot more than he liked me, that's for sure.
00:00:55What about grandma? Do they get along?
00:00:58Your mom never met your grandmother.
00:01:01Heck, I never met your grandmother.
00:01:04Like, never ever? You just don't remember?
00:01:08You know, I asked your grandfather about her, but, um...
00:01:12He didn't like to talk about her much.
00:01:16Listen, Rai...
00:01:19I know this move's gonna be tough for you.
00:01:22You know, leaving your friends, leaving your school.
00:01:26I get that.
00:01:29You know, as grumpy as your grandfather is...
00:01:35We're the only family he's got.
00:01:39He needs us right now, as much as he would hate to admit that.
00:01:45I'm gonna miss San Diego, too.
00:01:48But...
00:01:51You're gonna love Santa Carla.
00:01:54I promise.
00:01:59Pew!
00:02:06No, you are not singing opera right now.
00:02:09Please stop.
00:02:11Santa Carla! Santa Carla!
00:02:13Please stop!
00:02:16Hey!
00:02:18Okay, don't text and drive, ever.
00:02:20When you're older, do not text and drive. Do you understand?
00:02:29Ninety-nine cartons of milk on the wall.
00:02:32Ninety-nine cartons of milk.
00:02:34If one of those cartons...
00:02:36Take her down and pass it around.
00:02:38Pass it around? Oh, I don't know that part.
00:02:40How do you not know this song?
00:02:42Well, we used to actually, when we were younger,
00:02:44we used to sing it with beer.
00:02:46But you're not quite legally yet, Rai,
00:02:48so we won't be doing that.
00:02:52Check it out. Santa Carla.
00:02:54Gorgeous.
00:02:56Gorgeous.
00:02:58Huh?
00:03:01How far to his house?
00:03:03Almost there.
00:03:17Yo, Jay!
00:03:19Matty?
00:03:21Hey, man!
00:03:23What happened to you?
00:03:25You know, uh...
00:03:27I've been meaning to come back sooner.
00:03:29I just got super busy.
00:03:31No, I mean, you got old.
00:03:33Okay, very funny. Very funny.
00:03:35You know, you're not a spring chicken yourself.
00:03:37Oh, come on.
00:03:39I think I make middle-aged look pretty good.
00:03:41You must be Ryan.
00:03:43I've heard good things.
00:03:45Really? Where?
00:03:47Well, you know, your old man and me,
00:03:49we get to talking when we're out in the ocean.
00:03:51That is when he feels like talking.
00:03:53Where is he? Is he up at the house?
00:03:55Working on the engine.
00:03:57Oh, man. He just got out of the hospital.
00:03:59He's supposed to be resting.
00:04:01Yeah, well, maybe he'll listen to you.
00:04:03Hey, I'll let you go.
00:04:05All right, buddy. Be good.
00:04:07Bye, sweetheart.
00:04:09Bye.
00:04:10Good meeting you.
00:04:19Jay!
00:04:21Get all those traps off loaded yet?
00:04:23Hey, stop!
00:04:26Still taking it easy, I see.
00:04:30What day is it?
00:04:32What day is it? What day is it?
00:04:35Tuesday.
00:04:37It's Tuesday.
00:04:39You're early.
00:04:42Yeah, sorry about that. Traffic was light.
00:04:47I see the old girl is still seaworthy.
00:04:50Speaking of old girls, you remember Ryan?
00:04:52Last time you saw her, she was barely walking and talking.
00:04:57Not that she does much of the latter anymore.
00:05:00Hi!
00:05:03Well, I expect you want to know where to put your stuff.
00:05:10It's good to see you.
00:05:15Yeah, that's your room right there.
00:05:18Right here.
00:05:19Oh, it's beautiful.
00:05:22I really like the color.
00:05:28Needed a fresh coat of paint anyway.
00:05:31This mural is so pretty.
00:05:38Friend of mine did that.
00:05:41Well, I really like it.
00:05:44Right.
00:05:46Right.
00:05:48Settle in.
00:06:06What's the matter? You don't like your fish?
00:06:12I guess I'm just not that hungry.
00:06:15That says I don't blame you.
00:06:17It's not local. Heck, it's not even from the ocean.
00:06:21They bring it in frozen from some farm somewhere.
00:06:26You know, it's gotten to the point where you can't put any fresh food on your table anymore.
00:06:32It's like, I can't even remember the last time that I caught anything edible around here.
00:06:36Dad, dad, dad, listen.
00:06:39About that.
00:06:41I think you should listen to your doctors and take a little break from fishing.
00:06:46Just for a little while.
00:06:48I think you should take it easy.
00:06:50Take it easy.
00:06:52For a little while, okay?
00:06:54And hey, why don't you let me try my luck at it?
00:06:58You?
00:07:00Yeah, while you rest up and get well.
00:07:03I thought you were here to help me.
00:07:06Well, I am. We are.
00:07:10Here to help you.
00:07:12Well, then help me already.
00:07:14I mean, you've been here five minutes and already you're telling me what to do.
00:07:18That kind of help I don't need.
00:07:20Dad, listen, you've got to rest up a little bit.
00:07:23I can take it easy when I'm dead.
00:07:27Well, if you keep at this pace, you will be.
00:07:30You know what my doctor said?
00:07:32He said, take aspirin.
00:07:34I got aspirin.
00:07:36We put out first thing in the morning.
00:07:38I suggest that you get some rest.
00:07:41My son.
00:07:45You do not have to finish that.
00:07:48I have a feeling I'd better get used to it.
00:08:06Dad?
00:08:29Ryan!
00:08:31Hey, Dad.
00:08:32Oh, the old man doesn't whip out the paintbrush for just anyone.
00:08:36Oh, so you're saying he's not always this cheery?
00:08:39No, you caught him on a good day. What are all these?
00:08:42Mom's. Yeah.
00:08:45The Fisher King.
00:08:47You know what it's about?
00:08:50Oh, you have to read it.
00:08:52You know what? Reading's not really my thing.
00:08:54Why don't you give me the Cliff Notes version?
00:08:56I can't do that. But how about I give you the plot?
00:08:59It's about a wounded ruler whose kingdom slowly but surely is becoming a barren wasteland.
00:09:06And since he can no longer leave the castle to fish, his son has to fill his shoes.
00:09:12Are you messing with me?
00:09:14No, oddly enough.
00:09:16Well, what happens at the end?
00:09:18Oh, well, I can't tell you that. No spoilers.
00:09:21You'll just have to read it and find out.
00:09:24Oh, man. Why did your mom inscribe this to you?
00:09:29Oh, um...
00:09:34The hospital.
00:09:37About a week before.
00:09:59A week later.
00:10:25And no one's here.
00:10:29Café around the corner.
00:10:31Food. Have fun. Be home by six.
00:10:58Come on.
00:11:28Come on.
00:11:56I'll miss you.
00:11:58I'll miss you too.
00:12:29It's okay. It's okay.
00:12:31I got you. I got you.
00:12:36I got you.
00:12:39Oh, my gosh. Come here. It's okay. It's okay.
00:12:41Wait. Stop. Wait. No, stop. Come back. Stop. I can help you.
00:12:48My necklace. No, no, no, no. Wait.
00:12:53No. Where'd it go?
00:12:59No.
00:13:16Hey. So how do you like our little town?
00:13:21It's all right, I guess.
00:13:24You all right?
00:13:28Dad, I lost my locket today.
00:13:31What? Where?
00:13:35Down at the docks. I don't even know what happened.
00:13:39The docks? That's no place for a girl your age. It's too dangerous down there.
00:13:43Your grandfather's right, kiddo.
00:13:45What's the big deal? Anyways, it's just the water, and it's not like I don't know how to swim, Dad.
00:13:50No. It's still the same. You should only go down there if you're with your grandfather or I, okay?
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:56Fine.
00:13:58All right, why don't you go wash up? Dinner's almost ready.
00:14:03Take this. Put that on the plate. But don't do it. It's hot.
00:14:25Okay.
00:14:48Hey, Dad?
00:14:50Yeah?
00:14:52Why would someone set a net at the docks?
00:14:55Um, they wouldn't.
00:14:58They would. If you want to catch something big.
00:15:02Oh, Dad, please don't go on about this.
00:15:05Go on about what?
00:15:07Trust me, you don't want to know.
00:15:09There's a reason why there ain't no more fish around here.
00:15:12Dad, come on. Let's not fill our head with crazy fisherman tales, okay?
00:15:16Come on, let me ask you then. How many fish did we catch today?
00:15:20None is how many, and you know why.
00:15:23Don't say it.
00:15:25He said it.
00:15:27Okay, look.
00:15:28Mermaids.
00:15:29Uh, Dad, listen. It has... It's the dolphins. It's the seals, okay? It's not the mermaids.
00:15:36No, I know, I know. But it's both, okay?
00:15:40I know you think I'm just a crazy old man.
00:15:44But I know. But I know.
00:15:48Mermaids.
00:15:50Mm-hmm.
00:15:56Dad, she's 12. I don't need you filling her head with your tall tales of mermaids or sirens or vampires or God knows what.
00:16:07What would you know about it? I mean, you left her years ago, when the going got tough. You ain't been here.
00:16:13Yeah, well, we're here now, okay? And I'm asking you.
00:16:15No, you can't hide her from the truth forever. I can't. I won't.
00:16:25I won't.
00:16:55I won't.
00:17:21Ryan? You all right in there?
00:17:25Ryan? Are you okay?
00:17:27I'm just taking a bath.
00:17:29All right, well, you've been in there for a while. I just wanted to make sure.
00:17:33I'm fine, Dad. Really, I'm okay. Thanks.
00:17:37Okay.
00:17:42Ten minutes? What?
00:17:55Ten minutes.
00:18:26Okay.
00:18:34Okay, it has to be here somewhere.
00:18:53Hello?
00:18:56Is someone there?
00:19:02If you're the girl I saw yesterday, I won't hurt you. I promise.
00:19:09I just want to be your friend.
00:19:13I am crazy. I must be. Absolutely crazy.
00:19:20I think this is yours.
00:19:26Oh my gosh. I thought I lost it.
00:19:33Wait, didn't you have a tail?
00:19:40You can't walk with a tail.
00:19:44Well, thank you. So, so much.
00:19:49Thank you for helping me yesterday.
00:19:52Of course.
00:19:53So, you're a merm?
00:19:56Coral. My name is Coral.
00:19:59Oh, um, I'm Ryan.
00:20:06Him's called a handshake.
00:20:15I have to go. My mom's calling me.
00:20:19I don't hear anything.
00:20:24Close your eyes and listen.
00:20:41Coral!
00:20:44Coral!
00:20:50It's beautiful.
00:20:54Um, one more thing.
00:20:58Yeah?
00:21:01Don't tell anyone about what you saw. You promise?
00:21:06I promise. But what did I see?
00:21:12You do have a tail!
00:21:16Coral, wait! Come back! There's so many things I want to ask you!
00:21:20Come back! There's so many things I want to ask you!
00:21:41Hi.
00:21:43Hey. How was your day?
00:21:45It was great. Just, uh, rode my bike around town.
00:21:52Oh, well, you, uh, found your locket, so that is something.
00:22:00Yes. That is something. That is definitely something.
00:22:06And it is the funniest something. It turns out it was right here the whole time, and I didn't do anything.
00:22:16Fine, fine, fine. You got me. It was down at the lower docks, where I knew it was.
00:22:22So should I punish you for lying to me or for disobeying my orders?
00:22:26Dad, you cannot punish me more. This whole situation is punishment enough.
00:22:32All right. Fine. But no more lying, and no more going down to those docks unsupervised, okay?
00:22:38Deal.
00:22:39Deal?
00:22:40Deal.
00:22:41Deal?
00:22:42I said deal!
00:22:43Dad?
00:22:45Yeah?
00:22:48Quick question. Um, did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe Grandpa isn't so crazy?
00:22:59Come on, Rai. You are too old to believe that sort of stuff.
00:23:02Grandpa believes.
00:23:03Yeah, well, Grandpa is a crazy old man, okay? Mermaids are his obsession.
00:23:08There has to be some element of truth to our myths. Don't you think? I mean, there has to be.
00:23:13You are more like your mother than you know, and you're too clever for your own good.
00:23:19Hey, what do you say we go out to dinner, just you and I? I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of fish and vegetables. I can't do it anymore. I can't.
00:23:26Trust me, me too.
00:23:28All right, come on.
00:23:29That sounds amazing. I'll be down in five.
00:23:35Thanks, guys, for coming in.
00:23:36Thanks. Have a great night.
00:23:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We're not too late, are we?
00:23:43Uh, only by about 20 years.
00:23:46Jenna, wow, has it been that long?
00:23:48Hi.
00:23:49You look great.
00:23:52Um, please, come in. Sit down.
00:23:56Well, hi.
00:23:57Hi. Aren't you just the prettiest thing?
00:23:59Thanks.
00:24:00What's your name?
00:24:01Ryan.
00:24:02Ryan.
00:24:03She gets her looks from her mom.
00:24:04Yes, clearly.
00:24:05And, uh, and her brains, too.
00:24:07Wow, she sounds like quite a woman.
00:24:11She was. She, uh, she passed away.
00:24:16I am so sorry, Matt.
00:24:18Yeah, it's all right. It's been a little while now.
00:24:23Well, it's really nice to meet you, Ryan.
00:24:26Yeah, you too.
00:24:27I'm Jenna. I'm an old friend of your father's.
00:24:31Anyway, I'm going to leave you guys alone with the minis for a couple minutes.
00:24:34Okay.
00:24:36So, uh, you know what you want?
00:24:39What am I thinking? What am I thinking right now?
00:24:41I am thinking, I'm thinking that you and her used to be a lot more than just old friends.
00:24:45That's what I'm thinking right now.
00:24:47All right. Have I told you lately that you're too clever for your own good?
00:24:50Oh, there is no way you were getting off the hook that easy. I need details.
00:24:54Just pick something to eat, okay? Just pick something, because she's coming back.
00:24:57She's too fast. I'm not ready.
00:24:58Just pick something. Shut up.
00:24:59Anything? Okay, okay, okay.
00:25:01Hi.
00:25:02Hi.
00:25:03Hi. So, what can I get you?
00:25:06Uh, I would like a strawberry cupcake and a vanilla milkshake, please.
00:25:12Okay.
00:25:13For dinner? No, no.
00:25:14Daddy, you said anything?
00:25:17You know what? We will have two of those.
00:25:21Two cupcakes and milkshakes coming right up.
00:25:25Okay, she's gone again. So, details now, details later.
00:25:27Shut up. Shut up.
00:25:34So, how was it?
00:25:39So good. Without a doubt, best meal I've had since we've gotten here.
00:25:43Wow. When did you guys get in town?
00:25:46Uh, we got back a few days ago.
00:25:52How long are you staying?
00:25:53Um, my dad is sort of having some health problems, so we're here indefinitely.
00:25:59Um, I'm sorry about your dad.
00:26:01But, um, I hope I get to see more of you guys around.
00:26:04You can count on it.
00:26:08Okay.
00:26:10Wasn't awkward at all, right?
00:26:14So, before mom, you and Jenna were...
00:26:17Close, yeah.
00:26:19And what exactly happened there?
00:26:21I mean, dad, why did you leave?
00:26:23Wow, you are really curious.
00:26:25Yeah, I am.
00:26:27Look, I just had to get out of this place, okay? I had to try something new.
00:26:32And you're sure this doesn't have anything to do with the fact that grandpa believes mermaids are driving the fish out of the water?
00:26:38Grandpa believes a lot of things.
00:26:40And think about it, nobody's ever agreed with him.
00:26:43No wonder he's so cold and grumpy.
00:26:46He used to not be so grumpy.
00:26:48What happened?
00:26:51Look, all this mermaid business didn't help.
00:26:54This town was thriving once. Things dried up, everything went south.
00:26:57The fish left, people left, but not your grandfather.
00:26:59He stuck it out through thick and thin.
00:27:03Look, I know he seems like the grumpiest guy in the world.
00:27:06Yeah, yeah, he does.
00:27:08But he does love you.
00:27:10And I can tell that he sees your grandma in you.
00:27:16Really?
00:27:25Ryan?
00:27:31Ryan?
00:27:36Ryan!
00:27:39Oh, come on, get up. Up!
00:27:41Really?
00:27:46Grandpa, it is five in the morning. Why?
00:27:49Because in this family we earn our keep. Come on!
00:27:55All right, buddy.
00:27:56Thanks.
00:27:58All right, we'll be back by dinner. Have fun!
00:28:00Yeah, loads of fun.
00:28:02Don't worry, buddy, we'll be good.
00:28:05All right.
00:28:06Now, you see these holes right here?
00:28:08Right?
00:28:09Even if there was fish to catch, we're not catching them with these.
00:28:13So, I need you to go to that storage bin right there
00:28:16and find some lines so we can patch these up, okay?
00:28:18Got it.
00:28:19Okay, all right.
00:28:25Ryan!
00:28:27Carl?
00:28:29What are you doing here?
00:28:30I wanted to see you again.
00:28:32I felt bad about leaving so fast the other day.
00:28:35What if somebody sees you?
00:28:38Don't worry, I've cut holes in all the nets around here.
00:28:41That ought to keep them busy for a while.
00:28:44That'll keep them busy for a while, sure.
00:28:46Yeah, that'll keep them busy for a while.
00:28:48Yeah, that'll keep them busy for a while.
00:28:50Yeah, that'll keep them busy for a while.
00:28:52Yeah, that'll keep them busy for a while.
00:28:53Yeah, that'll keep them busy for a while.
00:28:54Yeah, that'll keep them busy for a while.
00:28:55Yeah, that'll keep them busy for a while.
00:28:56Sure.
00:28:57So, that's what you were doing the other day.
00:29:00Maybe.
00:29:03Hey, Ryan.
00:29:04You found that line yet?
00:29:05Just a second, Jay.
00:29:06I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:09Wait, you're one of them?
00:29:12Um, no.
00:29:14Jay is just my dad's friend who needed help, and I'm...
00:29:17Your father is a fisherman?
00:29:20Well, my grandpa too, actually.
00:29:22Well, they all are, but-
00:29:23But the fishermen hunt my kind.
00:29:26Well, not my family, or Jay Eider.
00:29:28He's sweet, I swear.
00:29:30And he's not gonna hurt you.
00:29:33Are they sweet like you?
00:29:36Ryan, the line!
00:29:39Coming!
00:29:42Okay, look, I have to go fix these nets,
00:29:45but I promise I won't do a very good job.
00:29:47And I should be done soon,
00:29:49so can you meet me at the lower dock?
00:29:52Sounds good.
00:29:53Okay?
00:29:54Okay.
00:29:54See you then.
00:29:55Bye!
00:29:56Hey!
00:29:58When in the world is taking you so long?
00:29:59I have been looking everywhere,
00:30:02and I just cannot seem to find it.
00:30:06Really?
00:30:06Mm-hmm!
00:30:08Wow, you must've been looking real hard.
00:30:11Oh!
00:30:13You meant inside the green thingy.
00:30:16You knucklehead.
00:30:17Think fast.
00:30:19All good.
00:30:20Come on.
00:30:22Let's go.
00:30:26Coral?
00:30:29Coral?
00:30:32Coral?
00:30:38That is absolutely amazing.
00:30:42It is?
00:30:43Are you kidding?
00:30:45People would freak if they knew you could do that.
00:30:48And they look just like real legs.
00:30:50They are real legs, silly.
00:30:52What did you expect?
00:30:54Okay, I don't know, but certainly not this.
00:30:56How do you do that?
00:30:59My people have always had the power
00:31:00to shift from sea to land.
00:31:04So long as we're not out of the water for too long, that is.
00:31:07What happens?
00:31:10Then we can't go back.
00:31:14So,
00:31:15so what now?
00:31:19I don't know.
00:31:20I've never had a human friend before.
00:31:22What do humans do?
00:31:26I'll show you, come on.
00:31:28You sure?
00:31:29Of course, yeah, yeah, you'll love it, I promise.
00:31:31Come on.
00:31:32If you say so.
00:32:15Okay.
00:32:36So, what's it like
00:32:39out there?
00:32:43Like at home?
00:32:45You know, I think my grandpa feels that way too.
00:32:48I don't know, just... more at home out on the water.
00:32:53But he's getting old now, so we moved back here to try and keep him on dry land.
00:32:58Well, as much as possible, anyways.
00:33:01How's that going so far?
00:33:03Not too great, actually.
00:33:10Do you like it?
00:33:12What?
00:33:13Living on land?
00:33:14Um... I don't know, I guess I didn't really thought about it.
00:33:19I've never seen very much of it.
00:33:24Tell you what.
00:33:26I'll show you some of my world.
00:33:28And I'll show you some of mine.
00:33:31Okay!
00:33:40Here, I'm coming.
00:33:41Come on in, Ryan!
00:33:45Okay.
00:33:50It's absolutely freezing!
00:33:52It's perfect!
00:33:56Oh, wow!
00:33:59So, like, you can breathe underwater?
00:34:02No, we're not fish, silly.
00:34:04Oh.
00:34:05Think of us like dolphins.
00:34:07We come up for air, we can just hold our breath for a really long time.
00:34:12Oh, wow.
00:34:13Yeah, I guess that would make sense.
00:34:16My dad can hold his breath for a really long time, too.
00:34:18That's why he got into freediving when he was younger.
00:34:21Yeah, apparently I can hold my breath for pretty long, too.
00:34:24Yeah?
00:34:25One of these days we'll have to find out just how long.
00:34:29Yeah, I'd like that!
00:34:31You know, your family seems to have an affinity for the water.
00:34:35Maybe you're not such land-lovers after all.
00:34:39Ow!
00:34:40What's wrong?
00:34:41Something, something stung me!
00:34:45It's just a jellyfish!
00:34:47That's easy for you to say!
00:34:49Here.
00:34:51Get on land.
00:34:54Okay.
00:35:00Ow, it hurts so bad!
00:35:04It hurts so bad, ow!
00:35:07Ow, what are you doing?
00:35:11I can fix it.
00:35:15Trust me.
00:35:37Ow!
00:35:47How... how did you do that?
00:35:52Did anyone ever tell you you ask a lot of questions?
00:35:56Yeah, all the time, actually.
00:36:00I don't know, it's just an energy my people have always had.
00:36:04The power to heal.
00:36:08Are you okay?
00:36:10Yeah.
00:36:11I'm just... just tired.
00:36:15It takes a lot out of us to heal another living thing.
00:36:20Yeah, I can imagine.
00:36:23Maybe that's enough for the visitor exchange program for one day.
00:36:35Two days?
00:36:37Yep, gotta head out to deeper waters.
00:36:39What about Ryan? I can't just leave her alone for two days.
00:36:42Why not? She's perfectly capable.
00:36:44I left you longer when you were about her age.
00:36:47Yeah, I know.
00:36:49Look, Dad, I can't do that, okay?
00:36:52She's just a kid.
00:36:54Okay, bring her with. It's time she learned how to fish anyway.
00:36:57Do her some good.
00:36:59Yeah, I'm sure she'll love it, seeing as how much she loves eating fish.
00:37:02Hey, you do what you want, okay?
00:37:04But I'm heading out first thing in the morning, with you or without you.
00:37:33Hey, hi.
00:37:35Hi, Matt.
00:37:37Wow, I don't see you for 20 years and then two visits in two days.
00:37:42You must really like my milkshake.
00:37:44I do. I... I love your milkshakes.
00:37:47I... I mean, um...
00:37:49Coffee?
00:37:50Yes, coffee.
00:37:52Um...
00:37:53I... I...
00:37:54I... I...
00:37:55I...
00:37:56I... I...
00:37:57I... I...
00:37:58I... I...
00:37:59I... I...
00:38:00Yes, coffee.
00:38:02Um, but also, hey, uh...
00:38:05I also have a huge favor to ask you.
00:38:08Okay.
00:38:12Jenna, I really, really appreciate this. Thank you.
00:38:16No worries. Girls know how to have fun. Yeah.
00:38:19All right. And you just behave yourself, okay?
00:38:22Well, that's not necessarily fun, Dad.
00:38:28Okay.
00:38:31You know, you're really just adding to the list of things that you have to make up for, right?
00:38:36Please. I'm in enough trouble as it is. Don't get me into any more.
00:38:41Be safe. Catch a big one.
00:38:43Bye, Dad.
00:38:45Got it.
00:38:47Thanks.
00:38:49So, big plans for the day?
00:38:51I'm gonna go meet a friend and hang out at the beach.
00:38:53Cool. Well, when you're done, if you guys want to come back, I'll teach you how to make my world-famous cupcakes.
00:38:58Sweet.
00:38:59That's the idea.
00:39:30Okay, so what do you want to see today?
00:39:34Everything.
00:39:35Okay, well, that's kind of a tall order, but how about we start with this dress?
00:39:43Human clothes!
00:39:45Yeah, I think it should fit.
00:39:46Okay.
00:39:47Come on.
00:39:49Okay.
00:39:50Let's go.
00:39:51Let's go.
00:39:52Let's go.
00:39:53Let's go.
00:39:54Let's go.
00:39:55Let's go.
00:39:56Let's go.
00:39:57Okay.
00:39:58Come on.
00:40:07Jay!
00:40:09Take over.
00:40:11Keep going uphill.
00:40:14So, what are we going for?
00:40:24We're not out here to fish at all, are we?
00:40:26You know what, Jay?
00:40:27Turn the boat around.
00:40:28We're going home.
00:40:29You're not in charge here.
00:40:30You want to know why there's no more fish in this bay?
00:40:32Because you and all your greedy fisherman friend fish this place bone dry.
00:40:35Oh, you think you're so smart, huh?
00:40:37You got all the answers, but you don't know anything.
00:40:40Just wait.
00:40:41You'll find out.
00:40:43You'll find out.
00:40:53What do you think?
00:40:54Does it look okay?
00:40:55Okay?
00:40:56Are you kidding?
00:40:57It looks better on you than it does on me.
00:40:59This is so fun.
00:41:00I've never tried on clothes like these before.
00:41:03I think I just figured out what we're doing today.
00:41:06What?
00:41:07Shopping.
00:41:09Yay!
00:41:11What shopping?
00:41:13More and more clothes.
00:41:15Let's go.
00:41:23How about this one?
00:41:26Are you sure?
00:41:27Of course.
00:41:28It would be great on you.
00:41:29You really think so?
00:41:30Definitely.
00:41:31Okay, okay.
00:41:32Please try it.
00:41:33Please try it.
00:41:34Okay.
00:41:55Get up.
00:42:13Here we go.
00:42:25I feel it all.
00:42:26No.
00:42:27It doesn't even look real.
00:42:28There's no way that's real.
00:42:29Oh, that's a cool kind of family photo.
00:42:30Oh.
00:42:31So, do you have brothers or sisters?
00:42:32I think I do.
00:42:33I think I do.
00:42:34I do.
00:42:35I do.
00:42:36I do.
00:42:37I do.
00:42:38I do.
00:42:39I do.
00:42:40I do.
00:42:41I do.
00:42:42I do.
00:42:43I do.
00:42:44I do.
00:42:45I do.
00:42:46I do.
00:42:47I do.
00:42:48I do.
00:42:49I do.
00:42:50I do.
00:42:51I do.
00:42:52I do.
00:42:53I do.
00:42:54Do you have brothers or sisters?
00:42:55No, I'm an only child.
00:42:57Me too.
00:43:01My father and grandfather were both taken by the sea a long time ago.
00:43:06Around the time I was born.
00:43:09I'm really sorry, Coral.
00:43:11That's life, I guess.
00:43:13Now it's just my mother and grandmother and the rest of our people.
00:43:21I lost my mom.
00:43:24About eight years ago.
00:43:27I get it.
00:43:32I believe that wherever our loved ones go after they die,
00:43:37they can still see us.
00:43:40Me too.
00:43:45I like the green hair on this one.
00:43:47Oh, I love that.
00:43:49Is that what you think we do?
00:43:51Sit on a rock brushing our hair all day?
00:43:53Actually, most people don't even think you exist, but...
00:43:56Oh.
00:43:57How does it not get tangled? Teach me your ways!
00:44:00It gets tangled.
00:44:03So, do you have any legends about us?
00:44:06Well, I wouldn't call them legends exactly.
00:44:11Why don't we listen to some of your music or any games or anything?
00:44:14Tell me.
00:44:16My people aren't exactly allowed to interact with humans.
00:44:22In fact, it's strictly forbidden.
00:44:27Forbidden?
00:44:30That's just the way it's been for centuries.
00:44:33My grandmother always warned me that humans can be selfish and cruel.
00:44:39But not you, Ryan.
00:44:42But not you, Ryan.
00:44:44In fact, if they only got to know you, maybe they'd change their minds.
00:44:52Then why can't we do that?
00:44:54Why can't you take me there and we can show them that our people can coexist
00:44:57and not only coexist but be friends?
00:45:01I want that, but that's just it, Ryan.
00:45:04If I bring you there,
00:45:07they might not let us be friends anymore.
00:45:12They're going to find out sooner or later anyways.
00:45:15I feel like it's better to try before they ground you or...
00:45:19Is that different underwater?
00:45:21Are there different punishment rules?
00:45:23A little bit.
00:45:27Can we?
00:45:29Can we try?
00:45:31Look, okay.
00:45:33Say we were to do this.
00:45:37How would you get to the island?
00:45:41Your dad could maybe do it as a freediver, but...
00:45:45But you'd have to hold your breath for a really long time.
00:45:49Like how long?
00:45:51Like really long.
00:45:59Practice can make it perfect.
00:46:07Just over ten minutes!
00:46:09Ten minutes? That's really good, Ryan.
00:46:12Well, for a human anyway.
00:46:14I can do better. I know I can.
00:46:16Can we go again?
00:46:18Okay.
00:46:32This ought to do it.
00:46:40What's that?
00:46:42It's called a wetsuit. Scuba divers and surfers use them.
00:46:47Why do you need a suit to get wet?
00:46:49It keeps you warm, silly.
00:46:52You really think you'll need it?
00:46:54Let's just say you and I have very different concepts of what constitutes cold water.
00:46:59Can I help you girls with anything?
00:47:01Oh, I'm good.
00:47:04Hi.
00:47:06Hi.
00:47:07I'm Zach.
00:47:09I'm Coral.
00:47:10Oh, hi.
00:47:11It's a handshake.
00:47:15Hi.
00:47:16I'm Ryan.
00:47:17I'm going to be over here looking at things.
00:47:21Okay, if you want to try on that wetsuit, there's a detention room right there.
00:47:25Even better.
00:47:29So, uh...
00:47:32You new around town?
00:47:33I mean, I really haven't seen you around before.
00:47:36My family's been here for years.
00:47:38I guess I don't get out much.
00:47:41But that's been changing lately.
00:47:43Okay, right on.
00:47:45That's cool.
00:47:47Uh, anyway, there's this beach barbecue thing.
00:47:51And you should totally come.
00:47:54You and your friends.
00:47:56Um...
00:47:58Yeah, I guess we'll be there?
00:48:01Yep.
00:48:02We'll be there.
00:48:03Okay, awesome.
00:48:04Awesome.
00:48:05Uh, well, if you need anything else, just let me know.
00:48:08Okay, see ya.
00:48:09See ya around, just, you know, floating around.
00:48:13It's good.
00:48:14It's, uh, it's all fine.
00:48:16Uh, I'll see ya.
00:48:17See ya.
00:48:20Oh my god, I've never talked to a human boy before.
00:48:23You like him, don't you?
00:48:26Stop it!
00:48:27What?
00:48:28There's no kissing in the sea, no mer-boy.
00:48:30You know what?
00:48:31Why don't you try this thing on already?
00:48:32We gotta start our trial run.
00:48:34We're changing the subject.
00:48:35We definitely like him.
00:48:37And hold your horses.
00:48:39Hey, Ryan.
00:48:41Yes?
00:48:42What's a beach barbecue, by the way?
00:48:45They're not gonna hurt the beach, are they?
00:48:47Go!
00:48:48Okay.
00:48:57You ready for this?
00:48:59Yeah.
00:49:01Then follow me.
00:49:04Okay.
00:49:09Hey, wait up!
00:49:34Oh my god.
00:50:04Oh my god.
00:50:34Hey!
00:50:35Hey.
00:50:36Where's your friend?
00:50:37I thought we were gonna make cupcakes.
00:50:38Oh, she had to go home.
00:50:39Oh.
00:50:40I'm still up for it, though.
00:50:41Great.
00:50:42Hey.
00:50:43Hey.
00:50:44Hey.
00:50:45Hey.
00:50:46Hey.
00:50:47Hey.
00:50:48Hey.
00:50:49Hey.
00:50:50Hey.
00:50:51Hey.
00:50:52Hey.
00:50:53Hey.
00:50:54Hey.
00:50:55Hey.
00:50:56Hey.
00:50:57Hey.
00:50:58Hey.
00:50:59Hey.
00:51:00Hey.
00:51:01Hey.
00:51:02Hey.
00:51:03Hey.
00:51:16Come on.
00:51:18Come on!
00:51:24Little light reading?
00:51:27Yep.
00:51:30Hey, um...
00:51:32You don't...
00:51:34You don't believe all this stuff, do you?
00:51:38I don't know, man.
00:51:41I never used to.
00:51:45But you see things when you're out in the ocean.
00:51:49Things you can't always explain.
00:51:51Come on.
00:51:52I think you've been out here too long.
00:51:55Yeah, maybe.
00:51:58Or maybe there's more to life than we know.
00:52:01The ocean's a big part of that.
00:52:04Ryan said the same thing.
00:52:08Smart kid.
00:52:12Oil.
00:52:17There we go.
00:52:18You can dump that in.
00:52:19Straight in the middle?
00:52:20Uh-huh.
00:52:21Very good.
00:52:22Mix it up a little bit.
00:52:27Nice.
00:52:28I'll pour this water in while you're mixing.
00:52:31Stir, stir.
00:52:32Just keep going.
00:52:34Very good.
00:52:36And then...
00:52:37Put just a...
00:52:39Pinch...
00:52:40Of salt in.
00:52:43To bring out the flavor.
00:52:48Are you still with me, sweetie?
00:52:51Oh.
00:52:52Yeah, sorry.
00:52:53I just spaced for a minute.
00:52:55Are you thinking about your dad and your grandpa?
00:52:57I'm sure they're fine.
00:52:58They know what they're doing.
00:52:59No, it's...
00:53:00It's not them.
00:53:03Is he your new friend?
00:53:06Sort of.
00:53:11Hey, Jenna.
00:53:14Can I ask you something?
00:53:17Anything.
00:53:19And promise you won't laugh?
00:53:21I cross my heart.
00:53:23I cross my heart.
00:53:30Have you ever seen a...
00:53:33Mermaid?
00:53:38A mermaid, you say?
00:53:41Yeah.
00:53:42Really sounds crazy.
00:53:44Once.
00:53:46Maybe.
00:53:48Just...
00:53:50Maybe once I did.
00:53:51A very long time ago.
00:53:53Really?
00:53:54What do you remember?
00:53:56Well...
00:53:57I was...
00:53:59About your age.
00:54:00And...
00:54:02I was swimming in this secluded cove off Morrow Beach.
00:54:05It's not far from here.
00:54:07I used to love to dive.
00:54:10As deep as I could go.
00:54:11Just explore the exotic ocean world down there.
00:54:16And that's when I saw her.
00:54:19This beautiful woman.
00:54:21With hair unlike anything I've ever seen before.
00:54:26Way beneath the surface.
00:54:31And then as quickly as she appeared, she was gone.
00:54:39Anyway...
00:54:42It was probably just some childhood fantasy, I guess.
00:54:47An illusion.
00:54:48It wasn't an illusion, Jenna.
00:54:52Mermaids are real.
00:55:18Hey!
00:55:20Hey!
00:55:22Hey!
00:55:23I was just writing you a note.
00:55:24Are you hungry?
00:55:25There's cupcakes in the fridge.
00:55:26They turned out very well.
00:55:27Yum.
00:55:29Just do me a favor and don't tell your dad that you ate cupcakes for breakfast.
00:55:33And since we are doing this whole, uh, keeping secrets thing,
00:55:37can I have a little chat about, you know what, be one of those?
00:55:41My lips are sealed.
00:55:42Good.
00:55:43Because I don't really think my dad needs to know about that one either.
00:55:46Big plans for the day?
00:55:47Actually, yes.
00:55:48Coral and I are going to head down to the beach.
00:55:51Coral?
00:55:52Is that your new friend?
00:55:54Yeah.
00:55:56Alright.
00:55:57Have fun.
00:55:58Just don't swim too far from the shore.
00:56:01I will do my best.
00:56:10Hey, Zach!
00:56:11What are you doing?
00:56:13Hey, Coral.
00:56:14Are y'all, uh, doing anything today?
00:56:16Because I can, like, uh...
00:56:17Oh!
00:56:18Oh!
00:56:19Oh!
00:56:20Oh!
00:56:21Oh!
00:56:22Oh!
00:56:23Oh!
00:56:24Oh!
00:56:27You know, uh, I'll just see you all around.
00:56:37You did great yesterday.
00:56:38But today we're going to stay under even longer.
00:56:41You ready?
00:56:43Um, I don't actually have to wait 45 minutes after eating, do I?
00:56:48That's just a myth.
00:56:49Well, so were you until a few days ago.
00:56:52Come on, this will be fun!
00:56:54Okay, okay.
00:57:13Oh!
00:57:14Oh!
00:57:15Oh!
00:57:16Oh!
00:57:17Oh!
00:57:18Oh!
00:57:19Oh!
00:57:20Oh!
00:57:21Oh!
00:57:22Oh!
00:57:23Oh!
00:57:24Oh!
00:57:25Oh!
00:57:26Oh!
00:57:27Oh!
00:57:28Oh!
00:57:29Oh!
00:57:30Oh!
00:57:31Oh!
00:57:32Oh!
00:57:33Oh!
00:57:34Oh!
00:57:35Oh!
00:57:36Oh!
00:57:37Oh!
00:57:38Oh!
00:57:39Oh!
00:57:40Oh!
00:57:41Oh!
00:57:42Oh!
00:57:43Oh!
00:57:44Oh!
00:57:45Oh!
00:57:46Oh!
00:57:47Oh!
00:57:48Oh!
00:57:49Oh!
00:57:50Oh!
00:57:51Oh!
00:57:52Oh!
00:57:53Oh!
00:57:54Oh!
00:57:55Oh!
00:57:56Oh!
00:57:57Oh!
00:57:58Oh!
00:57:59Oh!
00:58:00Oh!
00:58:01Oh!
00:58:02Oh!
00:58:03Oh!
00:58:04Oh!
00:58:05Oh!
00:58:06Oh!
00:58:07Oh!
00:58:08Oh!
00:58:09Oh!
00:58:10You made it!
00:58:17Um... Coral? This place is deserted. What is this? Why did you bring me here?
00:58:32This is my people's greatest secret. Hidden away from humanity in plain sight for centuries.
00:58:39What?
00:58:49Your hand has so many powers!
00:58:56What have you done, Coral?
00:58:58Mother, I wanted you to meet my friend. My very best friend, Ryan.
00:59:03Hi!
00:59:06You know better than to bring a human here. It goes against our most ancient and sacred laws.
00:59:12But we can coexist with humans! She's the proof.
00:59:16She's been showing me their ways and I've been showing her ours.
00:59:20This means nothing except you've put us in grave danger.
00:59:26She may bring others.
00:59:28No, she would never do that. I promise, she can be trusted.
00:59:32I wouldn't do anything to hurt you and I would never tell anyone, I promise!
00:59:37Our entire survival depends on your kind believing us to be nothing more than myths.
00:59:43You wouldn't want to jeopardize that, now would you, Ryan?
00:59:46I would never!
00:59:51Then you may be able to...
00:59:59Stay here.
01:00:03I shouldn't have come here. I've gotten you in trouble.
01:00:06It's not me I'm worried about.
01:00:12Thalea wants to see you.
01:00:16Both of you.
01:00:21So, who's Thalea?
01:00:23Our queen.
01:00:26And my grandmother.
01:00:28Your grandmother's the queen?
01:00:32That is so cool.
01:00:41Wow, this is amazing.
01:00:47Tell me what I told your mom.
01:00:49No, you mustn't speak in here unless you're spoken to first.
01:00:52Shh.
01:00:56I'm sorry.
01:00:59I'm sorry.
01:01:02I'm sorry.
01:01:05I'm sorry.
01:01:08I'm sorry.
01:01:11I'm sorry.
01:01:14I'm sorry.
01:01:23Come closer, child.
01:01:26Not you, Coral.
01:01:29Her.
01:01:42Why did you come to be here, child?
01:01:48Coral showed me the way.
01:01:53But how?
01:01:55You did not come by boat.
01:02:00We swam from the mainland.
01:02:05You have been exposed to our world.
01:02:08Your knowledge of our existence has put my people in danger.
01:02:12I mean no harm.
01:02:14It's not her fault.
01:02:15I was the one who took...
01:02:16Silence.
01:02:20What's done is done.
01:02:22For this, you can never go back.
01:02:26We can be together.
01:02:30No.
01:02:31No, I would miss my family.
01:02:33I can't.
01:02:35I'm sorry, child.
01:02:37But to protect my people, it must be so.
01:02:41Don't you want to be together?
01:02:44I do, but...
01:02:46But not like this.
01:02:49I need my family, Coral.
01:02:52Just like you need yours.
01:02:54And...
01:02:55And my dad and my grandfather...
01:02:58Your family does not deserve you.
01:03:02Her grandfather...
01:03:03No, he's the fisherman you warned us about.
01:03:06She cannot be allowed to return.
01:03:10Is this true, child?
01:03:22Come closer.
01:03:25Closer.
01:03:32You look like him.
01:03:38So beautiful.
01:03:44You know him?
01:03:47Once.
01:03:49A long time ago.
01:03:53Before.
01:03:56Before?
01:04:00Before his heart was broken.
01:04:03And he became hardened to the sea.
01:04:08And because of that, we have kept the fish away from these waters.
01:04:12To protect the ebb and flow of nature and its delicate balance.
01:04:16He and his people have overfished these waters.
01:04:19Taken and not replenished.
01:04:27Please don't take me away from my family.
01:04:33Do not cry, young one.
01:04:37All will be well.
01:04:45You will take the girl with you back to her home.
01:04:48And if she betrays her word...
01:04:53She won't.
01:04:55Will you, child?
01:04:57I promise.
01:05:01With all my heart.
01:05:03You are never to return here again.
01:05:07Or even speak of our existence.
01:05:15It is forbidden for humans and merfolk to mingle.
01:05:25Now go.
01:05:43Ryan!
01:05:45Ryan!
01:05:53I can't believe I'm losing my best friend.
01:05:57We may be forbidden from being friends.
01:06:01But you will always be my sister.
01:06:17Coral, this means a lot to me.
01:06:20And what a part of me to always be with you.
01:06:41It's fine, Coral.
01:07:12Ahead! Dolphins!
01:07:14Where there's dolphins, there's mermaids!
01:07:17Jay, come here, take over!
01:07:19Get ready to toss the nets.
01:07:21No, no, no, Dad, no. I'm not gonna let you do it, Dad.
01:07:23Won't you just toss the nets?
01:07:25Dad, you're acting crazy! It's not happening, no!
01:07:28Okay, okay, I'll do it myself. Now get out of the way.
01:07:31Now I'm gonna do it by death!
01:07:33Dad!
01:07:35Jay, call the Coast Guard now!
01:07:37Dad, just take it easy, okay?
01:07:40Oh, man.
01:08:11Goodbye. Be well, young one.
01:08:24Can you just put the cash in the office and just lock everything up?
01:08:31Ryan, honey, where have you been? Oh, my God.
01:08:34I've been looking everywhere for you.
01:08:36Sorry, I was, um, just swimming with Coral.
01:08:44What's wrong?
01:08:47It's your grandfather, honey.
01:08:50There's been an accident.
01:08:53Let's go.
01:09:02Are you gonna be all right if I step away for a while?
01:09:06Yeah.
01:09:07Okay.
01:09:13So I'm just gonna go lock up the cafe and I'll be back soon, okay?
01:09:17Okay.
01:09:18Your dad will be here in about 45 minutes.
01:09:28Don't go.
01:09:30Don't leave me.
01:09:36Grandpa?
01:09:42Grandpa?
01:09:47Ryan.
01:09:51Where am I?
01:09:52It's okay.
01:09:54You're in the hospital.
01:09:57You passed out, Grandpa.
01:10:01No, you need to rest.
01:10:03Oh, my God, no.
01:10:05You need to rest.
01:10:09That necklace, where did you get that?
01:10:15Oh, um, it's just something I bought while I was shopping.
01:10:20No, no, no.
01:10:23No, we both know that's not true.
01:10:27You've seen them, haven't you?
01:10:30Yes, you know.
01:10:39Do you know where they are?
01:10:43Grandpa, I can't.
01:10:46I made a promise and...
01:10:48You don't understand.
01:10:49Then help me to.
01:10:58It was a long, long time ago.
01:11:02I was a young man.
01:11:04Back then, fish would practically leap off the lines and into the boat.
01:11:10One day, I caught something big.
01:11:13At first, I thought it was a dolphin.
01:11:16But as I reeled it in, I saw exactly what I'd caught.
01:11:21A mermaid.
01:11:23I was immediately struck by her beauty.
01:11:26It was as if all the colors of the ocean were in her eyes.
01:11:31I was in love.
01:11:33We both were.
01:11:39We agreed we had to keep our love a secret.
01:11:42I was a fisherman.
01:11:44Their worst kind of enemy.
01:11:47If people knew that mermaids were real, they would destroy them.
01:11:55That's why I promised to keep their secret.
01:11:59For a time, we were happy.
01:12:01I wanted nothing more than to be with her the rest of my life.
01:12:06But it wasn't meant to be.
01:12:08Her father had found out about us and forbid her to see me because she was to marry another.
01:12:13She told me she was also heir to her throne, that she couldn't betray her people.
01:12:18I pleaded with her to come back.
01:12:20I returned to the beach every day where we'd met, hoping, praying that she'd come back to me.
01:12:27And she never did.
01:12:30She never came back.
01:12:32Days turned to weeks, weeks then turned to months.
01:12:37Love turned to anger.
01:12:42So I fished.
01:12:45I set lines, laid traps, fished, scouring, looking for any sign of her or her people.
01:12:51And I never saw her again.
01:12:54I never saw any of them.
01:12:56They just disappeared.
01:13:00Then, late one stormy night, I found a baby at my door.
01:13:08A son.
01:13:13She gave me a son.
01:13:17Dad.
01:13:20How could she have left me? How could she have abandoned me, abandoned him?
01:13:27I have to know why, Ryan.
01:13:34You have to tell me where they are.
01:13:44Jay, cast off the bow line.
01:13:49Art, what are you doing?
01:13:51Come on, move aside.
01:13:52Come on, move aside, Jay.
01:13:54Yeah, I can't let you do it.
01:13:55You're in no condition to go back out there.
01:13:58Appreciate your concern.
01:13:59Now get out of the way.
01:14:01Come on.
01:14:02I already tried it.
01:14:03Look, it's my boat, all right?
01:14:05You either stay on or you get off.
01:14:08Either way, I'm going.
01:14:12All right, fine.
01:14:14But I'm going with you.
01:14:16Touch my chit-chat.
01:14:18Is the life raft still on board?
01:14:20Yeah, of course.
01:14:21Good.
01:14:22Why?
01:14:24Come on, cast off the bow line.
01:14:27Oh, one second.
01:14:31All right.
01:14:52Santa Carla Hospital.
01:14:54Art Love's room, please.
01:14:56Okay.
01:14:57It appears Mr. Love has checked himself out.
01:14:59Checked himself out?
01:15:00That's impossible.
01:15:01I'm sorry, but our records show that he checked out with his granddaughter about a half an hour ago.
01:15:05Okay.
01:15:06All right, thank you very much.
01:15:10Hey, I'm almost back to the hospital.
01:15:12How's your father?
01:15:13He's gone.
01:15:15Gone?
01:15:16He checked himself out.
01:15:17Ryan's with him.
01:15:19Where do you think they went?
01:15:21My guess is the dock.
01:15:23You don't think he'd go back out, do you?
01:15:25That's exactly what I think.
01:15:28Look, there's a tracker on the boat, okay?
01:15:30I'm going to try and access it so it can tell us where they are, all right?
01:15:33I'll meet you there.
01:15:35Okay, we'll be right there.
01:15:51Okay, yeah.
01:15:53All right, we'll have contact at the Coast Guard.
01:15:56Thanks.
01:15:59Any news?
01:16:00The boat's gone.
01:16:01I tried calling Jay, but he isn't picking up.
01:16:03There's only about three hours of daylight left.
01:16:06I swear, if anything happens to Ryan, I will never forgive myself.
01:16:10She's going to be fine.
01:16:12She's strong, just like her father.
01:16:18Hey, Art.
01:16:19Yeah?
01:16:20What's our heading?
01:16:21Still west, towards the channels.
01:16:25Channels?
01:16:26Why?
01:16:27They're headed to the Channel Islands.
01:16:28Come on.
01:16:29Let's go.
01:16:30Okay.
01:16:45She made it back okay?
01:16:46Yes.
01:16:47Coral, I know our friendship means a great deal to you.
01:16:54But your heart will heal in time.
01:16:59I'm going first, then.
01:17:24Okay.
01:17:42The Fishermen!
01:17:43I have to warn the others!
01:17:55Mom! Mom! Mom!
01:18:17What's that?
01:18:18Up ahead of us!
01:18:19What is that?
01:18:21Hey!
01:18:22Hey! Over there! Look over there!
01:18:24It's a mermaid!
01:18:28It's a mermaid.
01:18:29It's a mermaid!
01:18:30She's caught in the net!
01:18:34It's Coral!
01:18:35We must get to her!
01:18:37Get to her!
01:18:38Get to her!
01:18:39Coral!
01:18:42Please!
01:18:43Go, go!
01:18:44Please!
01:18:46Coral!
01:18:47He'll get her! He'll get her!
01:18:50Get the hook off! Grab a hold of her!
01:18:52Get her out of that thing!
01:18:53Coral!
01:18:54Oh, my God.
01:18:55Come on.
01:18:56It's all my fault.
01:18:57Come on, Coral.
01:18:58Good job, good job, good job.
01:19:00Coral, please, please!
01:19:02Coral, don't you die on me!
01:19:05Please!
01:19:06Breathe! Breathe!
01:19:07Here, get the net off.
01:19:08Get the net off.
01:19:09Come on.
01:19:10Breathe, Coral!
01:19:12Coral, you can't! Please!
01:19:16Coral, you can't! Please!
01:19:20Coral!
01:19:35No, no, no.
01:19:36I'm not going to hurt you.
01:19:37I'm not going to hurt you.
01:19:39Ryan.
01:19:40Hey.
01:19:43Ryan, you saved me.
01:19:47I don't know.
01:19:48Maybe I had some of your power left in me
01:19:51from when you healed me the other day, but I didn't do anything.
01:19:56This had nothing to do with me.
01:19:59This power was inside you all along, Ryan.
01:20:03Ryan.
01:20:06Hey.
01:20:07Get in there, buddy.
01:20:09No.
01:20:10Whoa.
01:20:11Whoa, whoa, whoa!
01:20:12Grandpa, hey!
01:20:13Grandpa!
01:20:14You're fine!
01:20:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:20:16What?
01:20:17Coral, give me your hand!
01:20:19We're not strong enough, Ryan.
01:20:21We can't do it alone.
01:20:25The island!
01:20:26We have to get him to the island!
01:20:28Shane, just trust us, please!
01:20:29Go, go!
01:20:30Come here.
01:20:32Whoa.
01:20:35Stay with us, Grandpa.
01:20:40Come on, buddy.
01:20:41Hang in there, buddy.
01:20:42We're doing good.
01:20:44Help!
01:20:45Hey, buddy.
01:20:46You're doing good.
01:20:57Grandpa, please.
01:20:58Please don't leave me.
01:20:59I'm sorry.
01:21:00This is all my fault.
01:21:02I brought you here.
01:21:03We shouldn't have left.
01:21:08Coral.
01:21:09Coral, where is everyone?
01:21:10Why aren't they coming?
01:21:15They're afraid.
01:21:20Please!
01:21:23Please!
01:21:24Please help him!
01:21:25He's gonna die!
01:21:27Daddy's gonna die!
01:21:28Daddy's gonna die!
01:21:29Daddy's gonna die!
01:21:30Daddy's gonna die!
01:21:31Daddy's gonna die!
01:21:32Easy, old man.
01:21:33What were you thinking?
01:21:36Sorry.
01:21:38Just take it easy, Pop, all right?
01:21:40Just take it easy.
01:21:42They can help him.
01:21:43I know they're here, and they have to.
01:21:45And they would just come out.
01:21:46Shane, there's no one here.
01:21:47Please!
01:21:48There's nothing anybody can do until the Coast Guard gets here.
01:21:52Coral, can we please try?
01:21:56I'll do what I can.
01:22:02Please.
01:22:11Stay with us, Pop.
01:22:15I can't.
01:22:17His condition is too grave.
01:22:21I'm so sorry, Ryan.
01:22:25Please, somebody!
01:22:31Please.
01:22:36What the...
01:22:50Everyone.
01:23:02Sam.
01:23:12Sam.
01:23:14Hello, my love.
01:23:19Am I dead?
01:23:20No, no.
01:23:22You're very much alive.
01:23:27I missed you so much.
01:23:32I was so angry.
01:23:34Shh.
01:23:35None of that matters now.
01:23:39What...
01:23:40Would someone like to tell me what...
01:23:42What I just watched?
01:23:44They're mermaids.
01:23:47Yeah, right.
01:23:49Of course.
01:23:52I'm sorry.
01:23:55I'm sorry for breaking my promise not to come back.
01:23:58I didn't know what to do, and...
01:23:59I'm not.
01:24:01I'm sorry.
01:24:22What a good man you've become.
01:24:27Why do I...
01:24:29Why do I feel like we've met before?
01:24:32Because I've always been there watching.
01:24:36From the sea.
01:24:39In your dreams.
01:24:42You're my son, Matthew.
01:25:02Tonight signifies a new beginning.
01:25:05A bridge between our worlds...
01:25:08And theirs.
01:25:11This signifies our bond of trust.
01:25:17And a family.
01:25:19Let the sea breathe new life into this valley.
01:25:22Let the fish flow through its waters.
01:25:24And a family.
01:25:34Let the sea breathe new life into this valley.
01:25:37Let the fish flow through its waters.
01:25:54And a family.
01:26:10How long do you think they've been down there?
01:26:12All night?
01:26:13I guess they had a lot of catching up to do.
01:26:17Love is love, no matter how old you are.
01:26:22Oh, bye!
01:26:23Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Where do you think you guys are going?
01:26:26Where do you think we're going?
01:26:28All right, well, just be careful, okay?
01:26:30I'll take good care of her.
01:26:33Uncle Matt.
01:26:35Have fun!
01:26:37Man, it's gonna take some getting used to.
01:26:42I guess a lot of things are.
01:26:45Life's a journey.
01:26:54The Fish Return
01:27:12The fish did return to Santa Carla.
01:27:15And my dad and granddad each began new chapters in their lives.
01:27:23And me?
01:27:24Well, my dad was right all along.
01:27:27I grew to love my new home.
01:27:30In the end of that magical summer,
01:27:32I learned that the ocean wasn't just a place of mystery, wonder, and secrets.
01:27:37I learned that it was a teacher.
01:27:39And if you listen hard enough,
01:27:41you learn about love and forgiveness.
01:27:45And in the end,
01:27:46maybe that's the most important lesson of all.
01:27:49Hey, Coral!
01:27:51Yeah?
01:27:53Can we be friends forever?
01:27:55Family forever.
