Dolphin Kick (2019) Movie Script

1
You know that
feeling you get when you look down
at the pool and you start to
inch your way in.
Waiting because you don't want
to feel the water.
My mom used to tell us you're
supposed to feel stuff.
So don't cheat yourself out of a
great moment.
You can spend you whole life
waiting with your toes in the water.
Or you could just dive in.
She could always
make an adventure out of anything
And her voice echoes to us
everyday.
That's my brother,
Our parents promised us that on
their
fifteenth wedding anniversary
they'd take us
to the island where they got
married.
We knew the island would be fun,
but we never knew we'd meet a
special friend
that would change our lives
forever.
Our buddy Echo!
The Dolphin.
Bro bro bro, did you see that
cannonball?!
It's spring break! Mom would
have wanted you to have fun.
Do you want to jump in?
Fine, we won't go on the deep
side.
It's the same difference.
Luke!
It's been years
Please don't let another summer
go by.
You don't have to be afraid!
I'm not afraid.
- It's just I don't know what the big deal is anywa...
- Yeah swimming is fun but...
with... without you
it's not.
Hey Skylar!
- Let's go to practice!
- Come on!
Got to go bro.
You're missing out.
Hey Sky!
Why doesn't your brother swim
anymore?
Yeah, is there something
wrong with him or what?
Is he ever going to come back?
He will when he's ready!
Hunter!
Hey Clint!
Hey Clint! Hey man!
- Hey!
- Hey what's up?
Alright guys get on the
set let's go. Hey coach!
Hey, how's it going?
- Been alright.
- Good to see you.
Taking it one day at a time.
- I think about y'all a lot.
- I appreciate it, yeah.
I came to check see about, uh,
taking
Skylar and Luke on vacation.
So I want to get a routine
for her while we're out there.
I'm good with that.
- Twice a day though.
- Twice a day!?
- That means I gotta get up twice a day.
- Hey dad!
Hey baby!
Do they have pizza on Taino
island?
Nope we have to do our own hunting.
You ready to go hunting?
No.
Alright get back in the pool.
Hey! Uh uh!
Hey! Whoa! Water bug!
No cannonballs!
- I'm a cannonball that's what I do!
- Taino Island...
Isn't that where y'all married?
- Yeah.
- Hey dad watch this!
Hey no! Uh uh! Sky!
No running there dad!
Ah.
Oh, cap'n...
Nice and heavy.
Good catch.
You know I don't like when you

Alright, let me go cut up

We got a problem.
- Out of bait.
- Come on, Moe, man!
Boy what you been doing when I

Just go back, head back to the
dock.
Get some bait, it ain't that
hard. Whoa!
Cap'n, what is that?
Little something I made at home.
Special.
Uh!
What?!
- Cutting out the middle man.
- By blowing up the boat?
Oh lord am I going crazy,
gonna blow us all up to sky high.
This is heaven!
Wooo!
Yes it is.
Alright guys, I gotta go find
the boat rental company, OK?
So you guys can look around a
little bit.
But don't go far.
Stay where I can see you ok?
- Alright?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool.
Alright I'll be right over here.
We got this.
- Five minutes OK.
- Yes! Now, let's go shopping.
Whoa! Watch yourself little man.
You don't have to be afraid.
Yeah swimming is fun but...
Without you it's not.
Hey buddy. Come here.
Hi sweetie.
- Shopping alone today?
- Oh no my father sent me to...
- wait with my brother.
- Oh.
- He's a bit of a wanderer eh?
- Whoops I gotta go!
Hey buddy.
Come here, come closer.
Oh. My. Gosh!
It's a dolphin.
Aw, so cute!
Come here. Come here! Come here!
Where did he come from?
I don't know
I guess he found us.
- I think he wants to play fetch.
- I doubt that.
Dude it's not a dog.
So let's teach him!
OK, so I take it from
you and then I throw it!
Ready?
Now you go get it.
Grab it!
Come on dogs and people do this
all of the time.
It's fun just try it.
Whoa what?
- I call next!
- He's got it, he's doing it.
Come here, come here.
This is so cool!
Oh my gosh can we take him home.
He can even fit in our pool!
- Woo-Hoo!
- Maybe even our bath tub.
- Ah yes! Come on, come on.
- I want to take him home!
You need to come with
us.
- Ah that is awesome!
- You want to come with us?
You want to come with us?
- Yeah let's go show dad!
- Want to come with us?
- Yeah follow us!
- Let's go show dad!
Wow!
Hello down there!
- Can we just move here?
- It's gorgeous isn't it?
Awesome!
Go find you rooms!
Found my room!
Punch it!
No, not yet we're not
in open water yet sweetie!
Along with everything else the
first
thing you put on is a life vest
when you get in a boat.
These decks are slippery on a
boat.
You slip and hit your head and
go over.
I don't care how strong a swimmer
you are you're not going to do well.
Check!
What do we do next?
Luke!
Luke?
Gas!
Gas is not bad.
Gotta make sure the boat's not
taking on water first.
Looks like it's floating to me.
Yeah she's floating sweetie.
But there's a plug in the back.
Gotta make sure it's in all the
way.
Then you check fuel.
Then last, we check for flares
and paddles.
Check!
Now can we go?
Not yet sweetie we need open
water.
Alright we got open water,
everybody holding on?
Sit down!
- Yes sir!
- Yup I'm good!
Alright Sky,
you can go ahead and say it now.
Punch it!
Whoa!
Whoa!
That boy is fast!
Just in time to do
absolutely nothing thank you!
- I was working...
- Working lion research.
- Lion, lion research. All the lions of the ocean.
- Lion research.
Think you'll get this
guy here.
Uh, ok so here's the deal
pretty sure this dude is like a
trained MMA fighter,
so let's be chill.
Uh ok tough
guys we're all going.
Hey brother what's up?
- How you doing?
- Hey man you TUCC'd?
Excuse me?
We're T-U-C-C.
Taino underwater clean up
committee.
Oh?
Yeah we're giving out
complimentary
mugs so we can have a litter
free island.
The metal is so much better for
the island.
We find those cups all
over the beach underwater,
- that we clean up so...
- I appreciate it thank y'all.
Anything to keep the beaches
clean.
Thank you.
But, uh, I don't remember
this last time I was out here.
Oh you've been here before?
Yeah, it's been a while
honeymoon.
Would your wife like one too?
It's just me and the kids this
time.
Well, uh, hey you're doing it wrong
if you only chill at this resort.
- I mean I know it's cool but...
- You gotta venture out see the real Taino!
We would love too, the
resort doesn't tell
you about any of the
external life going on.
They want to keep you here
drinking the ten dollar lemonades.
Ten dollars!
I'm telling you man, you got
ripped off.
I believe you.
- Hey guys, see you at Outriggers tonight?
- Oh yeah!
- Yeah man Outriggers for sure.
- Of course!
Outriggers, you would get that
much cheaper and much better.
It has the best switcha on the
island man.
Switcha? What's that?
Lemonade man, that's what we
call lemonade over here.
- Taino lemonade.
- Is it kid friendly?
Oh yeah for sure. of course.
- Alright, what time?
- Uh, Taino-thirty.
- It's Taino time, bro.
- It's Taino time, baby.
- I appreciate you.
- It was nice meeting you.
- Good to meet y'all.
- We'll see you later, hopefully.
No...
Do you think he's here with us?
Yeah I can feel it.
Cool, a dolphin whisperer.
Come on you can do it.
Come on Luke!
Come on man you
gonna know this by now.
Didn't you get this in the class
we studied all weekend for this.
Ten dollar lemonades!
Hey, what's going on my
man!
- How you doing man.
- How you all doing?
How you guys doing?
Everything good?
- Welcome!
- Yeah man!
- What's your name big man?
- Luke.
- Luke.
- I'm Skylar.
- Sky for the cool kids.
- Ooh man!
Am I cool kid?
Mmm, we'll see.
Alright, alright.
You gotta get some conch now,
you're on Taino Island man.
- Oh yes!
- You gotta get some conch fritters
- Conch salad, conch something.
- Conch taco.
- We have everything but conch tacos.
- Nah man.
Those aren't a thing even
though they should be.
I, uh, moved here for my
master's
and just been throwing conch
into
every ramen recipe like
three times a day.
- It's really gross.
- It's actually not it's amazing.
Don't listen to her.
So you guys are here for school.
Yeah we're studying marine
biology.
What is that?
It's the study of sea animals.
- Cool.
- What do you feed dolphins?
Uh, we don't we let the dolphins
just
chase little fish in the ocean.
It's really important that we
don't feed the dolphins.
They will grow to expect that
people need to feed them.
And they need to depend on each
other
to hunt as a pod.
You hear that, and they're
dangerous.
Nah man, they're the most
peaceful creatures in the sea.
Nice, loving creatures man nah.
- Humans are far worse.
- Oh in every way...
humanly possible.
What if one came here alone?
- They rarely separate from the pod...
- Yeah it's not really common.
Wait, what's going on? What's
happening?
Let's say...
We... might... know...
someone...
who...
May have met a dolphin.
By itself.
A dolphin approached you guys?
On Taino beach?
Is that bad?
He likes us.
He must be separated.
Sure you all didn't just see a
big ol' manatee or something?
If you see it again can you let
us know.
It might need our help.
Actually...
you can come with us tomorrow I
mean,
he'll come around?
Uh.
We got class.
I don't have class, so I'm game.
Cool.
- Hey guys!
- Hey Sunshine!
Here try this.
I still have no idea what conch
is, but here we go.
Ah, there he goes.
- How is it?
- Mmm.
Right?
Not bad.
- I kinda like it.
- Taino Island man.
Welcome to Taino beach.
Your hair is so pretty.
Ah, thank you.
My mom taught me how
to do it as a kid.
She did my hair all the time.
- Excuse me guys.
- Is she OK?
Hey water bug.
Please go back inside.
- What's wrong?
- I want mom to come back.
I miss her too.
She is here with us.
I see her everyday when I look
at you.
But mom never taught me to fish
tail.
I'll tell you what,
Why don't you let me learn how
to do the fish tail.
I'll make the best looking
fish tail you've ever seen.
It'll be a disaster.
It'll be the best looking
disaster you've ever seen.
Dad you're such a cheeseball.
And proud of it.
Come on, you know it'll look
good.
You wanna go back and join
everyone?
Yeah.
Dom!
Hey!
Dom!
Where this boy is?
What is it Naz?
How 'bout you and me work this
out man?
What your problem is?
I didn't touch your lines.
My man.
The lines been cut, and I know
it was you!
Someone cut your lines?
- No.
- Stop lying!
Hey man not in here.
Let me tell you something.
You try to take money out my
pocket.
Food out my children mouth.
And you have me to deal with.
Uh, Excuse me.
Moe coming through, uh, Cap...
- There ain't no need for this. Let's go.
- Moe.
Nobody here cut your buoys.
- Alright.
- Let me see you in the ocean...
- Take a walk boys!
- Let's go, yeah.
- I see everything that go on.
- Oh, OK big guy.
That's just so messed up.
You alright bud?
Watch out man!
Locals man.
OK! What's up?
You know you're mom spent a
lot time out here too.
She loved swimming out here.
Your mom got you swimming at
three years old.
I couldn't get either one of
y'all
out of the water that summer.
That was y'alls thing.
When I put you down at night,
I had to check you for gills.
Cause you were like a little
fish.
She...
She would know how to get
you back in the water.
She knew everything.
She's right here with us bud.
She's always with us.
She's right here.
She's right there buddy.
Come on. Let's go get some
sleep.
Dad.
- Are you awake?
- No. No.
What?
What are you two doing?
Yeah the dolphin you said.
Alright.
You guys cook me breakfast?
You guys!
Hey cap.
Trying to look like a rich man
boat on this side of the island.
You see that over there?
Right, right there. Right there.
Yeah you see that?
Way over there man.
You get your sea legs yet
captain?
Yes ma'am.
Never lost them.
I was raised on a boat.
Been on it since I was a little
kid.
So where's this little renegade
at?
Well if he's spending time at
the docks,
He shouldn't be too far out.
He's probably lonely.
He's gotta be around here
somewhere.
He probably saw your happy faces
at the
dock and wanted to play
Dad! There he is!
There he is!
- Look at that!
- Dad do you see him!
Look at him! Whoa!
He's getting some height!
Awesome!
Hey there guy.
What are you doing all alone?
Hey!
That's not the buoy we used before.
Where'd you get that?
He chewed
right through the rope.
That looks like a lobster trap
line.
Yeah and whoever set it won't
be happy.
Hey.
Those belong to the fisherman.
We shouldn't be playing with
that now should we big boy.
Dolphin's usually travel in
groups
like a family, they're called
pods.
What happened to your family?
They need social interaction.
I honestly think it could be
loneliness
bring him this close to us.
Can we bring it back to its
family?
We could try.
They use echo location to
talk to each other.
They can hear up to
200 meters out.
If a...
Pod passes, we can try to get
him closer to earshot.
Then we'll go.
Don't worry, we'll get you back
to your pod.
Oh no.
What do they want?
Come on. Come on boy just let it
go.
Come on boy. Let it go.
Please drop it Echo.
Drop the buoy!
Oh no.
Hey we're out of her now!
Now now, come on, come on.
- Come on, come on.
- I'm getting you guys away from that buoy
- and those fishermen now.
- No we can't he has the buoy in his mouth!
I need you to, look, just drop
it, please.
- Give us the buoy.
- Come on.
Give me the buoy. Give. Give.
Give me the buoy.
Give me the buoy.
- Give me the buoy.
- Gentle, gentle.
- Give me the buoy.
- Dad watch out
you're gonna fall!
- Give me the bou...
- Whoa!
- Don't let them see him.
- Hide him dad.
Hide. Hide. Shhh.
Shhh.
Hey Nova!
Looks like you got more recruits
for the T.U.C.C.
- Everything cool.
- You didn't even
introduce me to your new friend,
man.
Get lost Moe!
That's how you
can carry on over.
Alright.
Oh man cap you see that?
Man she ain't on our run man.
Everything cool Nova, we'll
catch you next time.
Good job boy.
Hey pull me back to the boat
can you do that?
Which one of you?
Yes I knew it.
So..what I'm actually doing is
calibrating this,
gauge, because the last time I
dove,
- I ran out of oxygen.
- How y'all doing guys?
There we go. What up girls!
- Hey!
- Hey guys!
How was that dive?
- It was alright.
- See anything interesting?
- Same old, same old.
- Not really this time.
What are you guys doing?
I'm trying to make sure that I
don't
explode, the next time I dive.
How do you find a dolphin pod in
Taino island?
Uhh, OK
So...
Taino is cool because it is
completely surrounded by coral.
And it's why pirates actually
love this island
Because there's a giant coral
reef
that surrounds the entire
island.
This. Taino island.
And...
Say this is the reef.
Goes all around the island, all
zig zaggy.
Except in two spots.
So back in the day
coral grew so high that ships
who were coming to the island
for the first time didn't know.
And the ships would hit the
island and sink.
That's why there's all this
buried treasure.
All around here.
So all of the dolphins are
swimming
around here now.
That probably got Echo, stuck
in the inside of the reef.
Because you know it's low tide
during the day,
And high tide during the night.
And the dolphins feed
only in the day really.
And so what probably
happened with our dolphin.
Is,
He got separated
the tide rose
he got blocked by the coral.
And he couldn't escape
so all of his friends, ditched
him.
cause they're not good friends.
Don't do that to your friends.
What about echo location?
Pods not even going to get close
enough
so that they can hear each
other.
- Yeah that's the thing.
- Yeah cause this is,
the great wall of China.
Two openings.
We have another opening on the south west
part, that's where all the
fishermen
go out, and yeah majority of
them live there too.
And, so we gonna have to try and
focus,
- get something to focus them to come in.
- Got it yeah.
Cause they're
feeding, they already have
enough fish on the
outside of the reef.
We could do that we can think
of something.
So we just need to find
something to attract them here.
Exactly other than fish.
Looks like we
found our porpoise.
Oh my god, I love that so much.
Keep it up, I love the dad
jokes.
Hey Collard.
Collard what's going on big
brother.
- Hey.
- Hey!
- You guys are off today?
- Nah, big brother.
No dives today, we have to get
word out on this.
Oh yeah I've seen a few of these
around.
- What's going on?
- Young blood Luke,
he found a bottle nose out there
on Taino man.
Nice.
Coolest animal in the ocean huh?
Yeah definitely.
He's alone separated from his
pod.
Yeah we've been out canvassing
the area with these flyers.
Hopefully someone seen some
dolphins and we
can get this little guy
joined back with a pod.
Yeah good idea, I'll hang
these up in the shop.
The marina's right there,
you guys should really
check around maybe ask some of
the captains.
You think if we go by Xanadu beach
or by Taino beach or something.
- They seen any dolphins out that area lately?
- I haven't been there in a minute.
It wouldn't hurt to try.
Think there's any way to talk to
the guys running the dive boats.
Maybe they've seen some dolphins
out diving.
Yeah I can make a few calls.
Shouldn't be a problem.
Yeah man, thanks man.
- Always good to see you brother.
- Thanks Collard!
- I appreciate it.
- Anytime.
Where?
- Where'd they go?
- Where they go to.
Hey!
Hey!
You forgetting something?
Boy, y'all got a lot of
nerve cutting my lines.
- We found them, we found them like that.
- Find them?
Boy kid, if there's one thing I
can smell
from a mile away is a liar.
We can smell you from a mile
away.
We're just here
to help our friend.
Your friend is who?
It's a dolphin.
- Dolphin?
- Oh, you like dolphins kid.
Dolphins!
They pest!
- You know what pest get right?
- Hey what's going on?
Kids come here.
Just teaching them marine
etiquette finer points.
Ah man look who it is.
Where he come from?
I do not want you talking to my
kids.
If you got a problem you talk to
me.
And who you supposed to be?
Captain planet?
Come on kids, let's go.
If I gotta watch my traps, then
you better watch your back.
I wish I could get in
there with you dude but...
I can't swim.
Whatever.
You wouldn't understand.
How do we even know if
he's going to join the Pod.
Something truly special about
these creatures is that,
Even outside of their immediate
family
they associate as if they're all
family.
Are they gonna like,
accept him.
Even if they don't know him.
Of course, the population
structure
in pods are always changing
because of age and gender
But,
A pod would accept a lone
dolphin
based on their common
understanding
that a sense of belonging is all
they need.
Why can't he
just stay with us then?
Forever!
Instead of living with dolphins.
Sky, they don't survive on their
own.
They need,
a group to protect each other
someone they can depend on.
A family.
No it's just a close up.
So what's the Marines like?
The marines?
We study marine biology.
Close!
Well you guys are oceanography
students.
- Yeah.
- You know someone in the program
that could help out?
Simmons would have helped us.
Nah man, that guy is crazy.
Simmons man, Simmons is mad
crazy, nah.
Crazy but he would have helped.
He was our marine bio teacher.
It was,
hotly debated
as to whether he was an
actual employee of the school.
He might have just snuck
into an office and then
sat there until somebody told
him to leave.
Which was a long time.
He was freaking old.
He spent most of his life
experimenting
with ways to communicate with to
dolphins.
Uhh, let me show you.
- Check this out, this is Simmons.
- Yes!
Remember this?
Is he playing
a piano underwater?
The man!
Yes... that's a 1200 pound piano.
It was an absolute blast getting
that onto a boat.
You know that's one of his first
concepts. And his first disaster.
He was trying to make music
underwater.
He had this theory that,
dolphins respond to music the
same way that we do.
They... enjoy the rhythm and the
tone and,
it's just you have to have a
giant music box to be able to,
test it out.
Man that's underwater though
ain't no instrument work
underwater.
Come on man.
He was never proven to be wrong.
How do you play music underwater
long enough to
happen by a pod
and see if it works.
Have any of them worked?
Uh, the whistler.
The whistler worked.
It cost him his job, but it
worked.
I knew you were say that.
What's the whistler?
The whistler was a device that
replicated
language patterns he found in
Cetacea
And Simmons found a way
to project it long
range without any harmful
effects of sonar.
Let's get it.
I mean we could try and get it
but,
it's underwater.
Oh.
Yeah right before he left
the island he sank his boat
and, uh, along with all of his
projects.
In his last days he was
refurbishing old musical equipment
scrapping all kinds of boat parts
from wherever on the island.
Well rumor on the island was
that
the fishermen did it to Simmons
they were trying to put a
hold on the grouper trapping.
Well, where's his boat at?
It's a quarter mile out of his
property.
Way off shore.
And about forty feet below.
Guys those
coordinates are not like exact.
But dude we need time to
locate this thing and we only have...
- Yeah.
- One hour on a full tank.
It's hard to find.
I mean if we had more divers.
But there's,
there's no guarantee that the
corrosion
hasn't just destroyed all of the
parts
anyways.
It'll take forever
just to put them back
together and see
if they even work.
We have to at least try I
mean...
If we don't try, we don't
succeed.
Right?
I mean yeah I guess.
Ahh.
Kind of seems like
a lost cause at this point.
It's probably in pieces by now.
You guys don't know
Simmons this dude was...
bananas.
There's no telling if this
is even remotely possible.
I scuba.
You have your divers cert?
Oh yeah.
Spring break, Caba.
Didn't we all?
You know my wife used to say,
you can sit around your whole
life
with just your toes in the water
or you can dive in.
I say let's do it.
I'm in.
Me too.
You got me, I'm in.
Alright.
- Let's get it!
- Great!
6 AM tomorrow?
Ooh.
Yup.
Alright.
Is that good?
Little tight.
Well, stop skipping leg day.
There is no such thing as leg
day.
Rule number one,
steady breathing.
If he stays with me he'll
survive.
Can I get that in writing.
This is the place guys.
Hey sweetie,
if you see any fishing boats out
here
you blow the horn.
I can hear it underwater I'll be
right up.
My hero.
Uh, remember you gotta
take a big step out frontwards.
Frontwards.
Clint, turn around dude.
Chop. Chop. Chopped and screwed.
Chop. Chop. Chopped and screwed.
Chop. Chop. Chopped and screwed.
Disappoint my father.
Luke look there he is!
Hey Echo!
Oh no you got another one.
Echo stop with the buoys!
Those aren't yours!
No more fetch crazy people are
trying
to kill you for this stuff.
Guys! Guys! Echo can hear this!
Echo can hear this under the
water!
Boss!
Boss!
Look what they doing!
Man it looks like you got a
problem there!
Boss I need some money so I can
put fuel in
my rig and get out there and
check my trap.
No no no, you gotta bring
lobsters in if you want money.
Come on I got my
family, I just need a
little advance so I can put fuel
in my boat.
- Sorry.
- So I can get out there and check
Sorry man we're not a charity
here!
There ain't no way you need
to bring lobsters in here.
You're the tenth one here
today looking for charity.
Baby girl,
I love you more than diamonds and pearls.
- Babes thats you?
- Just what my weary eyes needed.
Only girl more beautiful than
the island itself.
- See my baby.
- And you,
The only fishermen she'd ever
let kiss her.
- Mm mmm, what you say baby?
- Everything's good.
Feeling any better?
Everything's good baby, you
alright?
- Where I belong now.
- Good.
Hey Moe! You been keeping my
boy safe today!
Well you see we
back in one piece right?
All I can ask for.
- OK.
- Hey!
- What's on your mind.
- I was at the market earlier.
- I overheard some of the other guys talking.
- Yeah?
'Bout what?
They're saying that someone's
been cutting traps?
Really?
Yeah, you don't be hearing that?
Uh uh.
Right Moe?
You hear anything about traps
getting cut?
No not that I know of, uh uh.
No sir, nope.
I know some of the other trappers
are struggling right now.
- Yeah.
- And I even overheard Roscoe saying
that he can't afford to get new
traps to start over.
There you go again with your
doting baby.
Everything cress, alright.
Me and Malik just come from
doing a big haul.
See me and Moe getting the chop
ready we're gonna head back out.
Everything will be just fine
baby, OK?
Trust me baby.
These big hands can hold it all.
OK, but you know,
If we need I can take some
shifts at the bungalow.
The only thing,
we need,
is for you to feel better baby.
You gotta get plenty of rest,
stay nice and healthy.
And bring my progeny into the
world
That's the future king of Taino.
Nah, just the prince.
His daddy's already the king.
You know it.
Look here, I want you go home,
rest up.
Take a nice little bath.
I'll be home later.
Me and Moe can finish all this
work.
OK well,
- You ain't gotta tell me twice.
- Aaah.
Bye bye Moe.
You don't mind if I carry cap
for a drink.
Like one, just one.
- Or six!
- Man don't lie to her.
More than six, I'll bring him
home.
Cap.
Cap?
Naz.
Cap!
Oh come on man, talk to me man
it's Moe.
Man whatever you need me to do,
you know I got yo' back.
For you and the future king.
Yo, Moe.
We gonna have to build some
bigger traps brother.
Let's head out!
Let's do it!
And I mean tonight!
This is so cool.
I can't believe it actually
worked.
So did Echo really hear it?
Oh yeah.
He came right up to me.
And as he got close,
I could see him dancing.
So,
a p-a...
a pod can...
like faraway can hear this?
Well,
this is a little one.
And Echo was only a hundred feet
away.
I'll tell you what,
Simmons was on to something.
So he wasn't crazy.
Maybe a good crazy.
Alright, time for bed.
Scoot down.
There we go.
Dad I've been reading a lot
about dolphins lately.
Really?
They speak their own language,
with
clicking patterns to talk to
each other.
- I didn't know that.
- I really hope the whistler works.
Me too baby girl, me too.
We are gonna find a way
to get Echo,
back with a pod.
'Kay.
You just need to believe in
yourself.
I believe in you.
Thanks dad.
You're welcome.
Hey dude.
How do you even swim in your
sleep?
You're in the water nonstop.
Nova said you learned how to
swim before you were even born.
Kind of like my mom did
When I was a kid.
She taught me how to swim.
But ever since she passed I felt
like
if I fall in I would sink.
Think I would sink?
What?
What?
Stop.
Hey watch it!
I'll... Ah.
Yeah I know you want to play.
But I can't. I just can't
Can you just be serious for a
second?
Echo I need your serious face.
Seriously.
Oh wow Echo.
Thank you so much.
Well who gets to swim with
a real life dolphin
It's now or never.
Don't let me fall under.
I mean it dude.
OK, this was a bad idea!
Aaah!
Well this was stupid!
Ah!
Not so bad.
I gotta...
I gotta tell dad.
I was swimming!
Luke!
Hey you got in the water!
I remember swimming with mom.
It was amazing!
I want to be back on the swim
team.
Yes!
That's what Im talking about.
Come here.
I'm proud of you buddy.
Oh! Look at Echo!
I guess you weren't swimming
alone were you?
Probably wouldn't call it
swimming.
Echo was probably doing circles
around you, huh?
Hey cap.
Looks like little man getting
close to that dolphin you know.
Buddy,
looks like our line ain't been
getting cut.
It been getting chewed.
Look like we might have to keep
an eye on
Yankee boy with that
new fishy friend.
- I'll keep an eye on him.
- Be sure you do that.
Can't afford for no one to take
food out of our mouth.
Not at all cap.
Roger that.
Leave it to me.
Uhm...
Guys I'm sorry the,
the whistler didn't work.
It's too corroded I can't,
ugh, I can't figure it out
what to do but I'm gonna keep
trying
I want you to know that, and
just keep your head up.
We'll figure this out.
I have an idea!
- Look right here look!
- Pipes are tied to the boat.
We throw them overboard.
So the pipes,
- stay on the rope.
- OK.
So they're hanging over the
side.
Cause they're all tied
up to the things!
Yeah that things!
Yes the cleats!
But all the cleats!
Cause you're gonna need a lot of
pipes.
Cause they all
gotta bang together.
Yeah like, Bong! Bong!
So the pipes are
hanging on the side of the boat.
And we can
totally hear it
when metal clangs underwater.
So you know dolphins can
hear way better! Echo location!
And Nova said they can
hear up to 200 meters away.
And the Ocean is always moving.
And the boat can just stay
at the opening to let the pipes play
And jangle together so the
dolphins can hear.
Like a chime.
Exactly it'll do what
the whistler idea was meant to be.
Well the whistler the clicks
were in a musical rhythm, like
Bump, bump bump, bump bump, bump
bump.
What better music to a dolphin
then the rhythm of the ocean.
Okay, but guys wait a second.
It seems a little far fetched
though right?
No!
Not after everything you guys
taught us.
Uh, I think I'm gonna have to
go with the kids on this one guys.
Uh, if we get to toe this
instrument out in front of Taino,
east though, east of the
opening,
away from all the big freight
noise.
Yeah, I think it'll work.
Be like, bait without a hook.
Yeah man,
if a pods around they gonna hear it.
Echo needs our help!
We only have two days left.
Okay, so what do we do?
I know where we can get some
metal.
And I know a guy with a boat.
I say let's do it.
Yo Collard you there?
- Hey what's up?
- Dude the chime works!
Oh dude no way!
- You guys chimin'
- Yeah.
- I can't believe y'all got it working.
- Yeah you good for a pick up?
Yeah I'm coming. I'm on my way.
Do you remember how to drive?
- Yeah definitely.
- Alright some of us gotta stay
with the boat tonight there's no
telling how long this will take.
Wait,
if y'all are staying out there
who do I got for clean up in the
morning?
Uhm Nova says pick me up.
Clint says...
Count me in.
Skylar says I'm hungry.
Hey!
Old timer!
Sam!
Don't touch my stuff!
You're killing me man.
- What you looking at?
- I'm looking at you.
My ropes are cut again!
I know it was you!
- What are you gonna do about it.
- Don't you ever...
- Huh!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Jokers, jokers, jokers.
Y'all take it easy man.
Take a look at this before you
throw blows.
What?

this!
Well buddy it ain't just you.

Roger!
How's that good?
A little tight.
It's supposed to be snug.
Okay.

I'll be fine sport.
Been doing this probably
before you were born.
I can tell.
I appreciate you helping.
- Watch the kids.
- I'm here all day anyway man.
What they say 'bout five
minutes?
Maybe on Caribbean time.
Pardon?
You're going down with Nova.

Hey cap.
Look at that man you really

- Hey cap man.

Enough is enough.
This dolphin has been taking too
much
money out of our pocket.
Cannonball!
Yeah!
You're the cannonball master.
Well it's a talent,
some people got it some people
don't.
I found a pod!
- What?
- Go Echo
the pod is that way!
Their inside the reef, look
look!
- Really?
- I don't know.
That pod seems a little too
far for this guy to hear them.
We gotta get closer!
But what if...
What if he wants to stay here
with us.
I don't want him to go he's my
friend.
You guys are gonna have to say
goodbye some time.
Do you want to leave him
here without his pod?
I hate to break it to the both
of you but,
with the way that pods moving,
they'll be long gone soon.
Is my dad coming back up?
Uh, 35 minutes.
Well, I'm done.
It's okay buddy I'll be back.
Later Collard.
- Uh hey!
- Yup?
Don't go any further than that.
Nova is gonna kill me if I lose
track of you.
Sure.
Come on Sky, let's get some
lemonade.
What are you doing?
I know how to get echo close to
the Pod.
- Wait how?
- We need a boat!
No one ever asks if I want
lemonade.
- There it is down there!
- Okay, let's go! Go, go, go, go, go!
Okay, all clear.
- You get in I'll get...
- Cleats!
You in? Okay.
You know what you're doing?
Are you sure you know what
you're doing?
Okay. Life jackets.
Plug. Oil.
I think dad said we could forget
about that one.
Uhm, push throttle to start.
And, punch it?
That's all I remember.
Punch it.
Pods in the reef!
The pods in the reef! Is someone
there?
Someone copy the Pod is in the
reef!
Alright, alright, I'm on my way!
Ah here we go!
We gotta reset

Not bad dude.
You're a real boat captain.
Hey! Hello!

These crusty old trappers
they get away with anything they
want.
They never have to pay the
price.
They think they own this ocean,
they don't.
They can be dangerous.
We can,
we can make sure they don't hurt
Echo but,
we shouldn't mess with their
livelihood.
I'm not gonna sink their boat I
was just gonna teach them a lesson.
No not like this.
- Please don't.
- Nova, they're gonna kill him.
Clint, no one messes with
these guys.
You don't want to put Naz in a
corner.
And they're out there right
now hunting for Echo.
We're his only protectors.
If we don't do something, no one
will.
Alright let's do it.
These boats are equipped to
locate them.
Let's take it.

I'm sorry.
I just, I just...
I know you're just trying

But we've been trying to get
Echo back out in the open water.
And away from y'alls traps.
Echo?
The dolphin, his name is Echo.
Thanks Echo.
For saving my life.
Guys!
- What about the pod!
- Yeah Skylar found the pod!
We were trying to get the pod!
You found a pod.
We were trying
to get him out of y'alls,
way and stop messing with your
traps.
We were trying to return him to
a pod.
We hunt snapper,
and grouper on the bottom of
the ocean floor.
I don't think finding a pod of
dolphins,
should be any harder.
What this say,
my catch, catch me.
- Oy.
- Yup!
Let's do this!
Aye, aye captain!
Get her running!
- Uhm Mr.? Do you have any spare fuel?

Thank you.
Get her started Dom!
Hey Nova, that's about right,
you don't want to go to far you
don't want to spook all them.
- Slow it here?
- Yeah right there.
Okay.
