[Ondina.]
Mimmi? [gasps.]
Hmm? You listening? Sorry.
What do you think? I say it's a dumb idea.
It makes sense.
We bring Evie into the moon pool and teach her to push through the moon spell.
Just like we learned when we were little.
Mimmi told me you used to hide under a clam.
Who cares? We've got bigger problems.
Evie mastering the moon spell means one less problem we have to deal with.
And in the meantime, Zac will be drawn to that merman chamber like a fish on a line.
We can't let that happen.
Here you go.
Have a nice day.
Do you really think it'll work? It'll take a great deal of strength and concentration on your part.
The full moon can be very powerful.
Tell me about it.
-I'll do it.
-Good.
I really want to be able to control this.
I'm just I'm worried I won't be able to handle it.
Handle what? Mimmi and Sirena are going to take me to the moon pool tonight.
They're going to help me push through the moon spell.
Push through it? You'll learn to absorb the moon's power without letting it overwhelm you.
You control it, not the other way around.
We'll stay connected with you the whole way, guiding you through every stage.
What do you think, Zac? Zac? It's a great idea.
-Really? -Absolutely.
You shouldn't be alone tonight.
Not after last time.
Don't worry.
I've got it covered.
Do you want to stick around? I can close up early.
That's okay.
I'll call you in the morning.
Just be careful tonight.
You saw something this morning, didn't you? A vision.
I saw it, too.
The connection's getting stronger.
It was just a dream.
Man you look wasted.
-Did you get any sleep last night? -No.
As a matter of fact, I didn't.
Have you seen Erik? Why? I had this intense dream last night.
I saw this white light.
These symbols-- The ones from the merman chamber.
The wavy one, and the volcano, and the-- How did you know? Erik took photos.
Last full moon, when you were under the moon spell.
Does he know what they mean? [inhales sharply and sighs.]
He's not sure.
He has some idea, but Zac maybe it's time to let him help you.
[sighs.]
I figured I'd be seeing you sooner or later.
[Ondina.]
Oh? There's a full moon tonight.
I guess you're getting pretty tired of me asking you for favors.
-[both chuckle.]
-Let me guess.
You want me to keep an eye on a certain someone, stop him from taking a nighttime swim to Mako? If you're, you know, not doing anything else.
I could be doing something else.
Not tonight.
This is too important.
Sure.
No problem.
Thanks, Erik.
I appreciate it.
Want to catch up tomorrow, go for a swim? [Ondina.]
Sure.
Why not? [phone ringing.]
Yo, Cam.
What's that? He does? Really? I didn't have much time.
The tunnel entrance was about to close.
[Zac.]
I saw these in my dream last night.
What do you think they mean? I was hoping you'd have an answer.
They they feel familiar.
But it's like it's some kind of ancient language and I can't read it.
Maybe it isn't a language.
[Zac.]
I think it's a code.
Some kind of sequence.
Like a PIN number.
And I think you're the only one who can unlock it.
I can try, but I might need your help to overcome the moon spell.
You got it.
Good 'cause if I can stay in control, then I might be able to figure out how to unlock this thing.
You're forgetting about the fish chicks.
There's no way they're going to let this happen.
They can't know.
Especially Ondina.
She won't.
She thinks I'm keeping you away from Mako.
Are you cool with that? This is more important.
Hi, Rita.
Mimmi.
I hear you're helping Evie out controlling the moon spell.
It's good of you.
I was wondering if I could talk to you about something.
Of course.
What's on your mind? These visions that I've been sharing with Zac I had another one this morning.
Go on.
There was this bright light symbols carved in stone the ones from the merman chamber.
I saw Zac, too.
He was in the light.
When did these visions start? The day I arrived.
They've been getting stronger.
Why is it just me and Zac that have these visions? What's the connection? I don't know.
I was thinking perhaps it isn't the island at all.
Maybe it's a gift that I inherited from my mother.
I don't think so.
Although Nerissa was an exceptional and powerful mermaid.
Did you know her? My mother? I knew of her.
Stories of Nerissa's abilities were legend.
We all knew who she was.
We strove to be like her.
Do you remember much? No she left when I was very young.
I remember, as a hatchling, hiding in her long hair, and her eyes.
Her eyes were the deepest blue.
I'm sorry, Mimmi.
I wish I had an answer for you.
Are we all set? -I'll get the tinny and meet you there.
-No, Cam.
I need you here to cover for us.
-What? But I thought-- -Take this.
If anyone calls, you handle it.
Great.
I'm the receptionist.
We'll see you when we get back.
You ready? Just give me a minute.
We should go.
I'm a little concerned about Zac.
Erik's looking after him.
He'll be fine.
I might just give him a quick call before we go.
[phone ringing.]
Evie.
Hi.
Cam? Yeah, Zac's just had to step up to the house for a second.
Can I take a message? The house? Yeah, he had to check on the pizza.
You're at you're at his place? At the bungalow, yeah.
We're all here.
Zac, Erik and me.
Pizza and a movie.
Really? Yeah.
Listen, Evie [imitating static.]
I can't seem to-- Reception's kind of-- [imitating static.]
Still here.
I can explain.
-Call Erik.
-No, don't don't do that.
This this isn't what I mean -There is a perfectly good -[phone ringing.]
explanation.
[Ondina.]
We have to go, now! Where's Sirena and Evie? The moon pool.
Forget them.
We have to get to Mako.
What happened? We've been played like a conch shell, that's what.
Erik and Zac they're working together.
What? I thought Erik was-- He betrayed us.
Erik's taken Zac to Mako.
He took photos of the symbols and now he thinks he can help start up the chamber.
What chamber? [Mimmi.]
Veridia.
What are you doing here? From the sounds of things, I arrived just in time.
Veridia.
Rita.
It's been a long time.
Indeed.
Nothing much has changed.
It's good to see you, Rita.
Veridia and I were at mermaid school together.
You were always top of the class.
I told you, you had until the next full moon to sort things out.
Things have got a little out of hand.
So it appears.
You mentioned a chamber on Mako.
The boy, Zac he unlocked a merman chamber on Mako.
-He's on his way there now.
-Then we don't have much time.
We must stop him accessing that chamber at all costs.
Take me there, immediately.
The moon is rising.
Let's hope we're not too late.
Veridia, wait.
Zac, what are you planning to do to him? He's an enemy of our kind, Rita.
He must be stopped.
Zac is a good kid.
Regardless what you think of land people, he would never seek to harm anyone.
You don't get it, do you? No land boy could have unlocked the chamber.
Zac? [breathing heavily.]
What do you think is going to happen if we start this place up? We've come this far.
You really want to stop now? -I'm nervous.
-It's okay.
The moon's not far off.
It's almost time.
Relax, Evie.
You're going to get through this.
It's easy for you to say.
When it comes, don't try to resist it.
Just relax and let it flow through you.
Try to stay focused.
Be strong.
Here we go.
I can feel it.
It's all right.
It's starting.
Stay focused.
Think about the symbols.
What's the sequence? I'm trying.
I don't know.
-The moonlight it's so beautiful.
-[laughing.]
Which is it? [Veridia.]
Move your hand away now! Who's she? [Ondina.]
Veridia, head of the mermaid council.
What are you doing? Why are you helping him? This is the only way, Ondina.
We need to know what this place is.
Zac is the only one who can control it.
So this one's a merman, too? Any more surprises? No, that's it.
I won't tell you again.
Stop what you are doing and step away.
Leave them alone.
You made your choice long ago.
You should have stayed in your grotto.
[Rita.]
I wouldn't.
You know what I'm capable of, Veridia.
Top of the class, remember? Do you realize what would happen if the son of Nerissa controls the power of this place? What is she talking about? What does this have to do with my mother? [Rita.]
Tell her, Veridia.
She has a right to know.
Tell me what? Nerissa had a son a son who could share visions with her daughter.
A connection made possible only through blood.
You're that son, Zac.
You've never been a land boy.
You were always a merman.
Why now? Why didn't you say anything before? I had to be certain and now I am.
This changes nothing.
It ends tonight.
I won't let you hurt him.
Move aside.
No.
Ondina, tell her not to be foolish.
Ondina! I'm sorry, Veridia.
You know the price for disloyalty.
I know what loyalty is.
[Evie gasping.]
I did it.
I controlled the moon spell.
Just like a real mermaid.
Oh! The moonlight was wonderful.
Thank you, Sirena.
We have to get out of here.
You have betrayed your kind.
You are no longer a part of the pod.
[Erik.]
Come on.
You're my brother.
[Zac.]
It's not possible.
I've lived here my whole life.
I have a mum and a dad.
I know it's hard to accept, Zac.
How can I be a real merman? I have been swimming since I was a kid.
How come I never got a tail until recently? Your mother, Nerissa she was the most powerful of mermaids.
Only she was capable of an enchantment strong enough to stop you getting a tail.
That spell was broken the night you fell into the moon pool.
[Mimmi.]
Please, Zac.
This is strange for me, too.
I've always felt like part of me was missing.
But now we've found each other.
Don't you think it's wonderful? I didn't ask for any of this.
You're still Zac Blakely and your parents are still your parents.
I don't know who you think I am but I am not your brother.
Do you get that? I don't want anything to do with you any of you.
You can't just walk away and pretend we don't exist.
We turned our backs on the pod for you.
We saved your life.
I didn't ask you to.
Zac.
I'm going home and I'm going to find out the truth.
A real merman? His whole life? And the fish chick's his sister? I did not see that one coming.
It all makes sense now.
[Mimmi.]
He'll come around.
I'm sure he will.
-You think? -He has to.
He's my brother.
Mimmi, you're forgetting that Zac was raised on land.
He's as much a land boy as he is a merman.
I don't think it's going to be an easy transition.
I'm finding it a bit hard to accept myself.
I know Zac better than anyone.
And right now he's just learned that everything he ever knew about himself was a lie that he never was who he thought he was.
Everything ends and begins for him right now.
In this world We're all alone You know I love My island home We'll make this right Find our way Through this mystery I just wanna be Swimming in the sea Now it's just you and me Forever, ever, ever I just wanna be With you feeling free It's my destiny Forever, ever, ever Ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Just be you and me I just wanna be Swimming in the sea Now it's just you and me Forever, ever, ever I just wanna be With you feeling free It's my destiny Forever, ever, ever Together Forever Together lying in the sun Together Forever Together Just be you and me I just wanna be
