Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Premiere Collection Encore (1992) - full transcript
There was a third member
of our family.
Your sister,
Mera.
You must search for her.
Mera?
There must be some way
we can find Neri’s sister.
Maybe we could put an ad
in the paper under missing persons.
- Yeah. “Wanted girl who fell to Earth
in space pod.” Great. - Well, I don’t know.
Holidays coming up. At least
we can get to the mainland.
Yeah, check out the locals.
- Talk to people.
- Somebody must have found that pod.
And HELEN could help us
do a records search.
If we can get her to access them.
You can if anyone can.
So what are you waiting for?
Come on, HELEN.
Hey, buddy!
How’s it going?
Busy.
You must get pretty hungry
doing all that brain work.
Thanks.
Maybe you could do me
a favour, too.
Like what?
You and that computer...
I heard you can make it do
just about anything you want.
Her, Mick.
Her name’s HELEN.
Yeah.
What if someone wanted to see
their school report?
- They’re coming out today anyway.
- Yeah, I know. I just want to see it.
Well...
I can give it a try.
Michael Byrne...
Wow, you really messed up
this term.
Bad, huh?
Real bad, look at that.
Yeah, I’ll take your word for it.
What if someone wanted to...
fix a report like that?
No way.
No way.
Too bad, ’cause...
my mom’d get really mad.
And you know
what’d happen then?
- No.
- No?
I’d get really mad.
Sorry, Mick.
Remind me never to do you
a favour, Froggy.
Mum, Neri’s sister
has to be out there...
- somewhere, doesn’t she?
- I’m not sure, sweetie. I hope so.
I am still just trying to
convince myself
this is all actually
happening.
The incredible is never easy
to believe, Dianne.
But we did see it
with our own eyes.
You guys ready?
Yep, won’t be a minute.
I shan’t be joining you today.
I’m taking some sonar equipment
on one of the shark cats
to run some tests.
- So, it’s just you and me then.
- Yep.
I can stand it if you can.
Let’s go then.
Sooner the better.
Who knows, we might even find
something on the way.
I’m sorry?
Ah. I’ve got a little deal going
with one of the mining companies.
If I find any good mineral deposits,
I’m on a percentage commission.
And...
does Commander Byrne know this?
No.
I’m certainly not on ORCA
for the pittance she pays me.
And I’m certainly not here
for the social life.
This way I can get the extra cash
I need for my own new boat.
And when that happens,
you won’t see me for dust.
And you expect me to cooperate?
Well, it’s not going to kill you, is it?
It’s all in the line of your work.
What sort of things
do you expect to find?
Oh, I don’t know.
But I’m due for a bit of luck.
- This going?
- Yep.
What’s that thing?
Nothing.
Why are you hiding it
behind your back?
Come on, Captain!
If you want to earn that new boat
by the end of the century.
The guy’s got a uranium
super-charger on his rocket.
Only he doesn’t realize
that the bad guy’s
got a Plutonium super-charger.
- Or was it the other way around?
- Rocky?
Yeah?
I don’t want to know.
What’s eating you?
I’ve got to get out and about.
What for?
I’ve just got to get off
ORCA sometimes.
You know what I mean?
But it’s getting hard since
the Commander
cancelled our boat access.
Well, what about the old Zodiac?
The one round
the back of the pontoon.
That old thing?
That was decommissioned
ages ago.
I could fix it.
- Yeah.
- No, dead set.
My dad taught me to strip
all kinds of motors.
And hey...
we could get off ORCA
as much as we wanted.
- Hi, Rocky.
- Hi.
What’s up?
Rocky, why don’t you go and
have a look at that new boat now.
- I’ll be up in a minute.
- Alright.
You’ve got to get rid of this thing.
Everyone’s asking questions.
Okay.
It’s pretty beat up.
But there’s not too much
wrong with it.
Gonna give me a hand?
Sure, but first I want to take
one of those wave runners out.
A final fling.
We don’t need them any more,
do we?
Nope.
This’ll get us anywhere
we want to go.
This is yours.
You’d better put it somewhere
where no one can find it.
Neri…
about Mera.
It was a long time ago.
Anything could have happened
to that pod.
A storm...
I know you will find her.
We’ll do everything we can.
- Any luck?
- No.
HELEN’s tried the Navy and
the Coast Guard. Nothing.
It doesn’t look good, Jason.
Let’s just keep trying.
What next then?
The newspapers!
Yeah.
If she was found there
would have been reports.
Froggy?
Not bad.
Access newspaper records,
HELEN,
for previous subject reference.
- Yes, Froggy.
What are we going to do
if this doesn’t work?
Search me.
Mum’s going to hate me.
No, first she’s going to kill me.
Then she’s going to hate me.
Sometimes bad school reports
aren’t as bad as you expect.
Yeah, well, mine are always worse.
I’m not worried.
I studied.
Oh, listen to the genius.
You think you’ve got problems?
Froggy saw his results
on HELEN.
- They’re so low, you’d need a sonar
to find them. - Yeah?
Can’t wait to see what
Commander Byrne says
about her sweet little boy then.
She’ll probably feed him
to the sharks.
You know,
it couldn’t happen
to a nicer guy.
Has anyone seen my brother?
Rocky was with Jason.
- Maybe they’re in the lab
or something. - Thanks.
Fingers crossed for this afternoon.
Oh, I think I feel sick.
Oh, sorry.
I was looking for my brother.
I don’t think that’s me.
No, I didn’t mean to interrupt.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, please!
Please!
I need an extra hand.
Could you hold this?
Sure.
There.
You are most kind.
Perhaps one day evolution will catch up,
and provide an extra hand
for more complex tasks.
More arms. More legs.
Where would it stop?
Suction pads for our fingers?
Like an octopus with
a fashion problem.
You have a twisted
sense of humour.
Thanks.
You’re also an excellent
assistant.
Thanks.
So, what are we working on?
A portable side scan
sonar unit.
Very powerful.
For our geological survey
of the ocean floor.
What do you have to do next?
Hook it up to a boat and
see if it works.
Can I go with you?
- I thought you wanted to
find your brother. - No hurry.
If I wouldn’t be getting
in your way I...
You’re hired.
Perhaps you could expand your theory
on octopus fashions while we go out there.
Ah, Dr. Hellegren.
I have something for you.
Enhance and synthesize the image.
This creature looks human.
Not only that,
from the bone structure,
we can safely say...
it’s female.
It is the girl.
The girl from the sea.
Are you all right?
Yes.
But I’ll let you into
a little secret.
- I’m not very good on boats.
- Really?
I’m a land creature.
The swiftest gazelle on the beach,
has no legs at all
on the ocean.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
- You’re so good at everything else.
- Thank you.
Now, we’ll just
give this a test run...
and see if it works.
It’s all right, Joanne.
It’s just a whale.
Beautiful, isn’t he?
Yes.
He’s not coming up.
Oh, they can stay down
for a long time.
We’ll let the towed array out now.
- I’ll give you a hand.
- Oh! Thank you.
I’ll check the monitor.
Aaah!
Joanne! Joanne!
Joanne!
Joanne!
Joanne?
Hey, Joanne!
I can’t see you.
I can’t see you.
Joanne.
Joanne.
Ah, Neri.
Thank goodness.
She’ll be all right.
Thank you.
What happened?
You hit your head.
You’ll be okay.
I was in the water.
You saved me.
Oh, no. I, I...
I...
Well, you see...
Yes!
I don’t believe it!
I’m having this framed.
That good, huh?
Give me a look.
- Ohhh!
- My report!
Gee, sorry.
Michael!
I’ve just read your report.
And I must say I got a shock.
This is gonna be heaven.
It is extremely bad.
I’m sorry, mum.
I tried.
Yes.
Well...
I know you can do
a lot better than this.
But obviously, settling in here has been
a lot harder on you than I thought.
Yeah.
Really hard.
After all,
making new friends
takes a lot of time and energy.
And that’s important, too.
So we’ll just forget about it,
shall we?
And I’m sure you’ll make up
for it next time.
Don’t worry.
Guys like Mick, sooner or later,
get what they deserve.
I wish it was sooner.
Thanks.
Yeah, thank you, Captain.
- That bad, huh?
- Worse.
Phillips is an obstinate,
pig-headed...
I only had to say to him “go to port”
for him to immediately go to starboard!
Well, Rocky’s fixed up
that old Zodiac.
Means we can get away
without any hassles.
Jason, I don’t want to
hear about it, all right?
I don’t want to hear another word
about boats for the rest of the day!
Come on.
Yes! Got it!
Of course, I couldn’t tell her
it was Neri who saved her.
So, unfortunately,
I’ve become Joanne’s hero.
Totally under false pretences.
Winston…
have you run through these scans
you did yesterday?
No, not yet.
Look at this.
How the image suddenly enhances.
Wait.
That must have been the exact time
that Neri arrived.
She would have been directly...
and look how it reduces
back again.
Are you saying that...
Neri’s presence
enhances the readings.
How?
I don’t know.
Perhaps something
in her physical make up
magnifies the effect of our
equipment.
But there’s the proof.
Winston...
you see what this means?
If we can get this
kind of detail and depth,
we could reduce
the survey time by half.
You mean...
get Neri to help us?
Yes! Why not?
Why not indeed.
Who’s going to ask her?
A baby. A baby girl!
HELEN matched
the newspaper article.
The right time.
The right place.
- What does it say?
- Not much.
Somebody found a baby
floating in the ocean.
- Is there a name?
- Johnny Mack.
A fisherman from Cape Tribulation.
Hey, that’s just up the coast.
School’s finished.
We can go there tomorrow.
- But can we find him?
- We’ve got to find him.
This is it!
This is our lead to Mera.
There is no doubt about it.
She is the thing communicating
with the whale.
But...
the distances involved...
I know.
It cannot be verbal.
Perhaps some kind of mental
telepathy.
That would be extraordinary,
Doctor.
Everything about this girl
is extraordinary, Mr. Forsyth.
That is why,
wherever she is,
I want her.
You kids going to say
something
or are you going to stand there
all day?
We were looking for
Johnny Mack.
What would you say to him
if you found him?
We heard he might know something
about a baby girl.
She was found floating out
on the coast a long time ago.
Why would you want to know
about that?
Even if it was true.
It’s important.
We promised a friend
we’d find out.
Well, that’s different then.
Friends have a right to know.
Now that you mention it,
I did hear Johnny Mack
tell a story once.
He was out fishing.
He used to go out fishing every day
just before sun-up.
But this day...
everything was still.
No fish were biting.
Like there’d been some big ruckus.
He just couldn’t figure it out.
And then, out of nowhere,
this...
thing bumps into his boat.
And you know what
Johnny Mack found inside?
A baby?
As beautiful as a frangipani bud.
All by herself.
That was years ago.
She was a white girl.
The authorities came
and took foster family.
You never saw her again?
Johnny Mack
never saw her again.
That’s all I can tell you.
Thanks.
We’d better get going.
Like I said.
Friends have a right to know.
That little girl...
She was a bit different.
If she met Johnny Mack...
she’d want to say thanks
for all the help.
If I see Johnny,
I’ll be happy to pass on the message.
Neri!
She made it, Neri.
She survived the landing.
- Where is she?
- The authorities took her.
Well, at least we know
she’s somewhere.
And we can start looking
for her properly.
Yes.
Now we will look for her.
We’ll find her.
And then we will bring
my little sister home!
