Ocean Girl (1994) s01e09 Episode Script

He’s back.
This is the fifth day in a row.
And his little friend is with him? It’s gotta be a dolphin Or a mermaid.
Do you know what I think? I think this guy is just as interested in us as we are in him.
Both of them.
- She can’t keep coming here.
- I’m going to have a double scoop – no, I’ll have a triple scoop.
Choc-chip and strawberry surprise.
She’s going to get caught.
I’m going to have the biggest, greasiest hamburger I can find.
Brett – this is serious! So’s shore leave! Maybe I’ll have the burger first.
Mum’s seen her heaps of times on sonar .
Every time she swims with Charley, the tag transmits that back to the lab.
Okay, they know it’s another creature but they don’t know it’s Neri.
- They think it’s just another whale.
- And Vanessa knows we’re hiding something.
Vanessa thinks it’s just a cleaner on a day pass.
- If Vanessa gets one look at that pass you came up with – - oh, Vanessa, Vanessa! Come on.
Hurry up.
- I look like a dork in this uniform.
- That’s because you are a dork.
- Sure, jodie.
- he does.
It’s just your imagination, that’s all.
Jason and I are just friends.
Then why is he always looking at you? And going out of his way to be nice.
- He is? - Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed? This is the final call for all personnel scheduled for shore leave.
Please assemble at the turbo lift reception area.
- On your best behaviour, you two, remember, you’re representing ORCA.
- No, sir, we won’t forget.
Oh, no! You shouldn’t have come! Not today! We’re going on shore leave.
To port douglas.
Douglas? Who is douglas? Not who,where.
It is a place on the mainland.
Is it fun? Is it ever! We’re going to have a great time! Now, we’ve got to get you out of here.
Bates! It’s too late to go back to get anything.
Stay with the group.
- Oh well.
She’ll have to come with us.
- Are you kidding? Well, no one’s been counting heads.
Besides, we can’t leave her here on her own, can we? Let’s hope we don’t end up regretting it.
What’s she doing here? She’s coming along – if it’s any of your business.
I thought she was a cleaner.
So why isn’t she cleaning? She forgot her broom.
- Hey, Lee, didn’t Neri just arrive? - so? It’s funny, don’t you think? Why come all the way out here on a boat and then turn around and have to go back again? Maybe she just wants to be with you, dags.
What? Nah, not me.
Winston, come here.
The other creature – the little one – it’s gone.
But where? (music) - We’ve got to find somewhere safe for her.
- The hamburger shop! Oh Brett, stop thinking about your stomach and start thinking about Neri.
I bet Neri just loves hamburgers, don’t you, Neri? (Honking horn) (squealing tires) Strewth! This is a road, not a footpath! This road? Neri! Sorry – she’s new in town.
Are you crazy? You could have got yourself killed.
Why these trees grow wires? They’re not trees.
They’re power poles.
You know – like, electricity.
- Electricity trees.
- Ya, sort of.
Great afternoon this is gonna be.
Tourists love that sort of junk.
Like this.
Hey, Jase, check this out! It’s too big.
Not for me, dummy.
For mum.
Hey, where are you going with that?! Neri, you can’t just take it.
I like.
Yeah, well – you have to pay for it.
With money.
Who lives here? It’s a church.
Church? Kinda like god’s house.
Big house.
God has many friends.
Yeah, I guess he does.
Are you sure she went in there? Positive.
- Oh, no, here she comes now.
What am I going to do? - ask her - What if she says no? - Then you can go away and let me finish my book.
- Hi - Hello.
I just thought maybe – you know – if you didn’t have anything on today – - and, you know, we could – I mean yourself and myself -- - What are you raving on about, dags? - Do you want to go to the movies? - Uh, Neri hates the movies.
What movies? Do you mean to tell me you’ve never seen a movie? Really? - I should go? - Of course, it will be really fun.
Come on.
You’d better do something quick.
Do you want to go too? (Dialogue from movie) Janette.
You shouldn’t be here.
It’s much too dangerous.
I didn’t feel safe with it loose in the city.
It will never be able to find us here.
But you might have been followed.
We have to be careful.
It’s after the antidote.
It won’t think to look here.
How do you know? It’s much smarter than we are.
It seems to know everything.
Look what happened to the others.
You didn’t see it, Janette.
It was horrible.
It will be all right, michael.
We’re safe here.
(Rumble of thunder) (screeching cats) - what’s that? - Nothing, michael.
Just relax.
Enjoy the fire.
That’s better.
Mmm.
Who taught you to kiss like that? (Screaming) (gunfire) gross.
- You were supposed to watch her! - I had my eyes shut.
How long’s he been out there? Since about nine this morning.
It’s like he’s lost something.
- What about the smaller one? - Swam right up to the front door.
- And? - And…Vanished.
She’s got to be around here somewhere.
(Horn honking) (horn honking) (percussive sounds) - Hi - Hello - Neri, you’re here! I mean – hi.
- So many clothes.
Yeah, it’s great, isn’t it? Maybe jodie can help you chose something.
- Oh, right.
I mean – sure.
- Won’t be a sec.
That’d look great on you.
- Would you like to try it on? - I can Sure! No.
In the change rooms.
Jodie, would you help me? The zip’s stuck.
(Commotion outside) no! No! What are you doing here, man? This is our turf.
- Get outta here.
- Oh, nice bracelet.
Bracelet, huh? What a loser.
Bracelet, huh? What a loser.
Come on.
- At last, we’ve got her.
- Breathe in.
-No Jason Bates to save her this time.
We’re finally going to get to the bottom of this.
- Got it.
Okay, Neri, let’s have a little talk.
-Why are you following me? - They hurt you I’m all right.
Just picking on me ’cause I’m different.
I’m different too.
You sound kind of different.
- I saw the boys take something.
It was special? - A bracelet.
My mum made it.
- She can make another? - She died.
I’ve got to get it back.
I will help you.
Lot of good you’ll be.
- We’ve looked everywhere.
- Twice.
The beach, the shops, the streets, the beach again.
- The beach.
Maybe she needs to get wet.
- We’ve already looked there.
- Well – where else could she go to get wet? - The shower? Hey, pal, how’s it going? Oh, I’m sorry.
It slipped.
- What are you doing here, man?- What are you doing? Look who's here.
- Going Finshing? - I want it back.
You want a swim.
That’s what you want.
- Why did you take it? - who's this? Ha! One of them ORCA kids.
- Please give him back his bracelet.
What a wimp! - There she is! - And she’s in trouble.
And there’s three of them.
Give it back to me! Come on.
Come and get it.
You want it, don’t you? Come and get it.
I’m gonna drop it.
I’m gonna drop it.
Come on.
Let’s get out of here.
(music) - You weren’t really scared, were you.
- Of course not.
So, why did you run out? - You weren’t scared of me, were you?- no I’m glad.
the cop pulls out his gun and he starts firing.
And the skeleton explodes.
And there was slime and there were worms everywhere on everyone.
It was unreal.
Did you buy that? Jason.
Would all personnel please note that reports must be logged in the appropriate data banks.
Are you all right? We’ll meet you on the island tomorrow, okay? But – How would you like to go and see what’s happening in the rec room? - Okay.
- Yeah? Okay, ace.
Well, We’ve got the place to ourselves.
That’s good Anyway, what I wanted to – What’s going on? Bates? Nothing.
We were just – just talking, daddy.
We were just talking, okay? Well, I’m glad to hear that.
Well, um, I’d promised I’d help Brett with his physics.
’Bye.
(music) - Tell me about – kiss thing.
- what? You know.
Oh, yuck! No, that’s only for grown ups.
What’s it like? Disgusting.
I don’t know why anyone would want to kiss a girl.
Does it taste good? About as good as this thing.
And if you don’t believe me, go and kiss someone.
No way! Damien? Attention all day pass holders.
Please report to reception prior to departure from ORCA.
Have to go now.
Bye, damien.
all right, all right.
I’m listening.
Don’t you see? He’s listening too and now he’s answering Something’s talking to him.
- Our little friend? - Right I know a chap in seattle.
He’s a sound freak.
He has a laser operated, multi-channel separator – ultra high, ultra low frequency.
We should be able to adapt it.
Patch it into our system – so it hears the electric impulses.
If he is listening, we’ll be able to listen too.
- Oh, Winston, we’re a long way from seattle.
-A week, 10 days maximum.
Soon, no more secrets.
We’ve had a breakthrough.
We’re getting some new equipment.
We always thought the whale was communicating with another whale hundreds of kilometers away.
- You mean like talking? - Not exectly talking.
But not until today.
You should have heard them.
It was like a video-phone conversation.
Except we could only hear one side of it.
- Ah…With this equipment… -nWe will be able to hear both.
You know the little bleep that is always following the whale around? Ya, we know that one… .
That is who we think the whale is talking to.
Not some other whale in some other ocean.
- So with this new equipment.
You gonna find out heaps of stuff? - Ya, more then we ever dreamed of.
We’re this far away from discovering Who the other little creature is.
- This could solve the riddle.
- That’s great, Mum.
Jason? What? You don’t think so? What? What is it with you? Just once I would like to think you accually cared what I am doing here.
- It is not that.
- Then what is it? Can’t you just pretend you care.
It is like you don’t want us to succeed.
That’s it, isn’t it.
You really don’t want us to succeed.
- It’s not exactly that.
It’s… - Well please tell me.
I don’t get it.
Tell me what it is.
I can’t explain.
No, it’s not that you can’t explain, you don’t want to.
- We can’t tell her.
- Well, they’re gonna find out, aren’t they? Yes, They are gonna find out.
We’ll have to think of something.
