Chal Mera Putt (2019) - full transcript

Captain Phillips,

you cannot just wander into the
stores and take what you want

- without providing the paperwork.
- Lighten up, Commander...

What are you doing here?

- I want to know about my sister.
- Not here.

It won’t be my day that
gets spoiled.

You got it.

Would you excuse me for a moment.
I’ve got a boat to fix.

You go look for Mera.

I come with you.

No way, Neri.



Mum, tell her she can’t.

Neri, he’s right.

I could take weeks
to find her.

We don’t even know
where to look yet.

She could be living
anywhere by now.

Mera is my sister.

I cannot sit quiet and wait.

I go with my friends.

Last time we took you ashore
it was nearly a disaster.

And we may have to go
way inland.

You know you can’t stay away
from water.

And what about Charley?

You want to leave him alone
for that long?

Okay.
Pipe down, everyone.



Now, look, I now it is very hard
for you to stay here...

while the others go searching.
But you can’t help them.

And you can help me
and Winston.

We have to do a survey
of the reef, Neri.

Survey?

We have to draw charts.

Maps of the ocean floor
for the Commander.

And there is limited time
we have to do it in.

You mean help find a site
for this ORCA city?

Yes, it’ll be much larger
than this place.

A home for thousands
of people

And we must make sure
it can be done safely.

If we don’t co-operate,

they won’t let me keep doing
my work with Charley.

And you, Neri can help us
do our survey,

much, much faster.

When I was making tests
on the boat the other day,

when you came near,

it had a powerful effect
on the equipment.

What equipment?

The scanning gear.

Neri’s presence seemed
to magnify the signal.

Which means we can get
a clearer scan of the ocean floor

from any given point.

Will you help us, Neri?

My father’s mission was
to protect the ocean.

And at least this will help
stop mistakes

being made.

Nothing you do will cause
any harm.

I promise you.

Then I help.

We shall have to face facts.

All our attempts to locate
this particular whale

this girl swims with have failed.

With so much ocean to cover,
it could take forever.

We must try a fresh approach.

In order
to track this girl down,

we must first understand
what makes her tick.

In the meantime,
work must go on.

HELEN’s come up with something
from the welfare files.

“Found at sea,
Cape Tribulation.”

And the date’s right.

It’s gotta be Mera!

They’ve called her,
Jane Seaforth.

I suppose they had
to call her something.

An here’s a list of foster families.

Foster families?

People they let you live with
if you haven’t got a family of your own.

So you’ve got a home.

It doesn’t look like
it’s been working for Mera.

Look at all the different homes
she’s been to.

Not really surprising.

That’s the report from the latest place
she was kicked out of.

Continual strange and
unsettling behaviour.

Spends hours in the shower
or bath.

Hey, did you hear that?

She needs water.
Just like Neri.

But we still don’t know
where she is now.

Hang on.
Is that the last entry?

Yep.

Then it looks like she’s been sent
to some kind of...

special school.

- How long this time, Liselle?
- Three hours, sir.

- She doesn’t even get tired.
- That’s remarkable.

Jane.

Jane!

Time to come out, Jane.

Sole access to the Institute
of the Advancement of Human Ability

is via the main gate indicated.

Please note the high security
arrangements.

Where did HELEN get these plans?

By accessing the Council
Planning Records.

Froggy, you are brilliant!

HELEN is the brilliant one.

There’s something secret
about this place.

I mean, maximum security?

Can we get past that fence?

I’ve got some ideas.

Let’s do it.

Grab the lift.

- Quick, mum’s waiting for you.
- Where are you going?

If we’re lucky,
maybe even to see your sister.

Now, what we want you
to do is to swim...

directly under
the towed array.

Okay?

Our equipment will be sending
down a beam...

to get pictures of the ocean floor
as we go along.

With you there, those pictures
will be much better.

We don’t know why.

Perhaps it’s your telepathic ability

that helps boost the signals.

Anyway. Do you understand
what we want you to do?

- Yes.
- All right.

We’ll be able to see you
on the monitor

to make sure you’re all right,
but when you come up for air,

I want you to swim as far away
from the boat as possible. All right?

- Astern.
- Here.

So the captain of the boat
doesn’t see you.

We must be on our toes.
Captain Phillips is no fool.

No.
He’s a pain in the neck,

but he’s not a fool.

Neri...

are you sure
you’re up to this?

It’s hard not to think
of my sister, that’s all

She’s so strange.

She even spooks the other kids, sir.

That’s why I’ve rostered you
and the other prefects

- to watch her, Liselle.
- Yes, sir.

Young Jane is a mystery
waiting to be solved.

Give her another five minutes,
then bring her out.

We have important sponsors
arriving shortly

and I want them to see her.

Welcome to the Institute, Doctor.
May I offer you some refreshments?

Refreshments won’t be necessary,
Doctor.

- At UBRI, time is precious.
- Of course, Doctor.

- The files are ready for your inspection.
- Then you will show me the children.

There she is.

Right in position.

Yes,

and look at the clarity of that.

It improves as soon as
she comes near the scanner.

Doctor Bates. Can you
come up on deck for a second?

Yes, Captain?

Look at that old boy.

Seems like he’s circling us.

So what?

Well, I thought whales
were your thing.

I hear you talk to them
for hours.

Just at the moment, I’ve got
a few other things on my mind.

If you’ll excuse me.

Charley is circling us.

Keeping an eye on Neri,
I suppose.

Look, we have got to tell Neri
to keep his head down

otherwise the skipper
will start asking questions.

But look at this, Dianne.

Look at the detail.

Neri’s giving these scanners
one heck of a boost.

We played this piece of music
to Joshua once. Just once.

And now he can recreate it
note for note,

whenever he’s told to.

- Impressive.
- Hum...

Along here...

ah, Li Cheng. Doctor,

give her any mathematical
problem, if you please.

27 times 403.

10.881.

Check it yourself
if you like, Doctor.

Li Cheng is never wrong.

Good.

Go along.

But if I sent her
for a loaf of bread,

she’d come back without the change.

Parents are glad to send
these children to us.

Such children tend to be...

difficult.

Delicate specimens,
you might say.

Growing like small mushrooms
in the dark.

No, not at all.

We take great care to ensure
healthy

recreational activity
for all our subjects.

Ah, I think you’ll find this case

of particular interest.

This is Jane.

Jane, this is doctor Hellegren.

She’s quite aware.

And what is Jane’s talent?

We’re not sure of her
particular talent yet.

Jane has a number
of unusual gifts.

Draw something.

Anything at all.

Good girl.

Do you know how she does this?

Not yet.

But it’s early days.

Our tests are very
thorough.

If you’d care to follow me...

Neri?

The scan was a great
success.

Will you help us again?

Yes.

When will they come back?

It’s still early, Neri.

You’ll have to be patient.

Ohh...

Hi, Winston.

Hello, Joanne.

Hello, Joanne.

Winston told me what
a great help you were

on the boat the other day.

Did he tell you how
he saved my life?

- It wasn’t quite that dramatic. - Oh, yes!
- She could have drowned.

Oh, Neri,
heard about it.

This is Neri.

She’s one of the day workers.

Hi.

Let’s go.

Where?

I said, let’s go.

What did you do that for?

What?

About Joanne drowning.

You’re supposed to be
a secret, remember?

You weren’t supposed
to be there.

I think those box things
are scanners.

Yep.

You can’t get over the fence
without breaking the beam.

So?

I’m trying to figure
it out, okay?

What a dork!

I super glued it to the floor!

Hey, don’t worry, mate.
It was just a joke.

Now, listen...

you’re in on it now,
right?

Humm?

When the next kid comes along.

Yeah right.

Uh – hi, guys.

Money here yours?

No, babe.

Finders keepers.

Oh, come on, Neri.

You’re supposed to be
on duty, remember?

Unreal.

Nothing shifts super glue.

Who is she?

Stay here.

You did it again!

What was wrong?

Never mind.

Come on, time to hit
the surf.

Hey!

Okay...

where is she?

Who?

Jerry or Beri or something.

The one who you came up here with.

No one came up with me.

Maybe the pressure down there

is starting to get to you,
Mick.

Don’t try to snow me,
dog’s breath.

I saw her!

Where is she?

Do you reckon she’s gone for a swim?

Dork.

She knows Jane Seaforth
and she told me where she is.

Come on!

Jason!

Keep watch.

Don’t be scared.

We’re friends.

They call you
Jane Seaforth, right?

And you grew up as an orphan.

But we know
your real name...

is Mera

We know where you
come from.

We know the whole story.

You have a sister…

Neri.

We’ve brought
a message from her.

Don’t you want to hear it?

You don’t think she’s deaf
or something, do you?

I’m not even sure
we’ve got the right girl.

Look.

It’s her all right.

Come on!

It sounds crazy.

But you’ve got to believe me.

We know you’re
Neri’s sister.

She wants to see you more
than anything in the world.

Wouldn’t you like
to meet her?

She lives on this beautiful island
in the rain forest

Free amongst the animals and the birds.

We want to take you there.

We’re not getting through,
Jason. She doesn’t understand.

She understands.

It was too dangerous
to come herself.

There are things that
make you... special.

Both of you.

Things that only Neri
can tell you.

Please say something!

Just some message
we can take back to her.

We’ve got company!

I don’t know how to prove this
to you.

The only way is for you
to talk to Neri yourself.

Come on, Jason.

We’ll be back.

Think about it?

How do I know
I can trust you?

If we can prove that,

will you come with us
to see Neri?

Yes.

I would.

Let’s go!

Not this way!

So, I think you’ll agree that the funds
from UBRI are not being wasted.

UBRI will continue the sponsorship,
Director.

As long as we get co-operation
from you when we need it.

There are some fascinating
case studies.

The girl... Jane Seaforth...

interested me particularly.

We made it!

Is that scrambler trick
going to work a second time?

A second time?

We said we’d come back,
didn’t we?

Oh, great!

You have seen the list of subjects
from the Institute?

Yes, I’ve been studying it.

Gabriel has some extraordinary
children there.

This one in particular interests me.

Ah, yes. The psychic.

Psychic?

Well, that’s what her stunt
with the drawing would suggest.

There is something else
about her, too.

She possibly has
telepathic powers.

I want her here.

Yes?

The girl from the sea,

the one we cannot identify

seems to have a telepathic link
with the whale.

Perhaps a study of this girl

will help us understand
our sea creature better.

Jane Seaforth will be transferred
to UBRI.

I will conduct

the tests on her myself.

I thought you would bring her.

I thought I would see
Mera.

But we found her, Neri.

Isn’t that good?

She had one of those,
just the same.

You told her of me.

But she does not believe.

Well, she wants proof.

And you can’t blame her.

These strange kids come
from nowhere

and tell her this
far out story.

If she has proof...

then she will come?

That’s what she said.

Take her this.

Yeah.

You’re right.

That’s it!

You will go back?

Yes, Neri.

We will.

But this time,
we’re not leaving without her.
