Mako Mermaids (2013–2016): Season 1, Episode 19 - Where's the On Button? - full transcript
The girls must get the trident out of Zac's possession. Meanwhile, Zac and Cam attempt to use it but can't seem to get it to do anything. Lyla keeps trying to warn Zac of it's potential danger and when Evie sees them talking, she becomes suspicious of them again. David informs Evie that they need an article for the school's magazine and Zac suggests interviewing Principal Santos at home. The girls search Zac's house for the trident while he's at school but with no luck. Evie interviews Rita about her background but when the girls arrive, she shifts the focus to them and it becomes more like an interrogation. While David photographs them, Zac snoops about the house and discovers the secret room. He sneaks back in later through the ocean entrance but the girls are waiting for him.

Maybe Zac didn't get
the trident.
We never saw him with it,
so maybe he was too late.
Yeah, right,
wishful thinking.
It's not.
You always think he's smarter
than he actually is.
LYLA:
We couldn't stop him
giving us the slip,
so either he's smart
or we're really dumb.
Well, that still doesn't mean
he actually got it.
SIRENA:
There's only one way
to find out.
Don't be too long in there.
I never thought
I'd say this,
but I really hope
you're right and I'm wrong.
Yeah, me too.
CAM:
So, what does it do?
Well, most websites say
the same thing.
It's a mythological weapon
of great power and magic.
Used to create earthquakes,
tidal waves, storms.
And how'd they do that?
ZAC:
It doesn't say.
Well,
this one doesn't seem to work.
It's just a
relic.
That's great, we pull off
the perfect heist and for what?
A useless antique.
Maybe we can sell it.
They're used by gods
who live underwater
who have power over the ocean
and the weather.
So?
So maybe it has to be wet.
[♪♪♪]
CAM:
Impressive.
Maybe there's, like,
a magic word.
You read too many
fairy tales.
Oh, and mermaids
aren't real.
Maybe you have to
speak mermaid.
Is that even a language?
LYLA: Zac?
Guess what they're after.
If it's that important,
there's no way
I'm giving it back.
LYLA:
Zac, we have to talk.
What do you want?
Where is
it?
Where's what?
You know exactly what we mean.
Sorry, I don't know
what you're talking about.
Do you, Cam?
It's dangerous.
You're messing with power
you can't understand,
let alone control.
Have you been eating
swordfish?
I think the mercury's starting
to mess with your brain.
NIXIE:
You stay out of this,
land-boy.
We weren't hatched
yesterday.
Zac, please.
I know you don't believe this,
but we're on your side.
You have to trust us.
Yeah, right,
like that's gonna happen.
I bet it's inside.
We'll take it
if we need to.
Zac?
[♪♪♪]
Shouldn't you all
be getting ready for school?
Yep.
Just on our way.
Well, off you go,
then.
We'll be seeing you around,
Zac.
They mean it.
They'll be back.
Got to find a good place
to stash it.
Fast.
NIXIE:
Why even bother pretending
that he hasn't got it?
See, Lyla?
I told you he wasn't smart.
He's still got the trident
and we don't.
So how do we
get it back?
Well, we wait till
he's gone to school
and then we turn his place
upside down.
I'll meet you there
later.
Where are you
going?
To try
one last time.
LYLA:
Hey, Zac.
Not again.
Go away, Lyla.
I'm telling the truth.
It really is dangerous.
You'll try anything
to get your hands on it.
No, I just didn't want
to see you get hurt.
Please. You have to
believe me, I'm not lying.
Evie? I need to talk to you
about the school magazine.
Please. If you won't
give it back to us,
just return it to Mako.
I've got to go.
What if she's telling
the truth?
She's not.
It's a trick.
Maybe.
I'll tell you one thing,
she's not gonna help you turn
it on and show you how it works.
She probably doesn't know.
It's got to be a mermaid,
right?
An older one.
One who knows more mermaid stuff
than they do.
Who might've been taught
about tridents.
You mean Santos.
Do you know
any other older mermaids?
I don't think she's
gonna tell you anything.
We don't have enough articles
for the online edition.
The deadline's
in a week.
Okay, what about annual
teacher profile?
DAVID:
We interviewed the sports coach
last year.
She was boring.
Who else
is there?
How about
Santos?
Yes,
what about her?
I don't know,
Principal Santos,
she likes to stay
distant and scary.
Mysterious is good.
Exactly why you should
interview her.
Well,
what's her angle?
"Who's the real Rita Santos?"
We could even interview her
at her house.
EVIE:
That's true.
We could even ask her
about those weird nieces.
Hey.
They're not that weird.
Besides, good luck trying
to convince Principal Santos
to let us interview her
at home.
Trust me,
I can do that.
[♪♪♪]
Well, have you found it?
No.
It's got to be
here somewhere.
He didn't have it
with him at school.
We'll have to check
his pod house.
EVIE:
Ms. Santos?
I was hoping to interview you
for the online school magazine.
Of course,
come to my office after school.
Actually, I was hoping
to interview you at home.
I'm not sure
that's appropriate.
But important.
The angle I'm going
for is the human face
behind the stern mask.
How flattering.
And I did a survey.
All the students want
to know
who the real
Principal Santos is.
Unless, of course,
you've got something to hide.
No, no,
I'm happy to help.
Come round to my house
after school.
ZAC:
How did it go with Santos?
Yeah, all good.
She agreed to an interview
at her place this afternoon.
Awesome.
So we'll go straight
after school, yeah?
What do you mean,
"we"?
Well, I thought I could
give you a hand.
Since when has the school
magazine been your thing?
I know you're running behind
with the deadline,
so I want to help out.
And, you know,
the interview was my idea.
Now I get it.
You want a credit,
right?
No way,
I'm only doing this for you.
Why else would I want
to hang out
at the principal's house?
Okay.
But I'm the editor.
I do the talking.
NIXIE:
It's definitely not
in there.
It's got to be
around here somewhere.
Maybe he buried it.
And risk his parents
digging it up? No way.
SIRENA:
We can't search here forever.
We better tell Rita.
[♪♪♪]
EVIE:
Let's start with the basics.
Where were you
born?
On the Barrier Reef.
My parents were sailing
around the world.
Seriously?
I've never seen you swim.
RITA:
A waterlogged childhood
made me keen on dry land.
Most of my education
was conducted overseas.
The Caribbean, Fiji,
Hawaii.
What are you
doing here?
We're interviewing your aunt
for the school magazine.
Why?
To clear up the mystery
of her life.
It was Zac's idea,
actually.
It's perfectly okay,
girls.
The kids at school
are dying to know
how you came to live
with Principal Santos.
I think we'll leave
you guys to it.
EVIE:
Seriously, we'd love
to involve you in the article.
You're such a big part
of your aunt's life.
You know,
we'd really just get in the way.
I'm used to that.
I'm sure it won't take
too long.
Zac,
can I have a word?
Are you insane?
What are you doing?
Since when is it illegal
to interview someone?
This is a dangerous game
you're playing.
You know we don't live here.
You know Rita's not our aunt.
So?
So be careful,
or Evie's going to blow
our secret.
And when I say our secret,
I'm including you.
Keep your girlfriend
under control,
or we all lose.
Then I came back
to Australia
and ended up as the principal
at Suncoast High.
And then your
nieces arrived.
Let's talk
about them.
So where are your parents?
Sailing.
All of them?
It runs in the family.
It's a real passion.
Okay.
Why don't they go
to Suncoast High?
RITA:
Well, they're just visiting,
so I'm home-schooling them.
They've been here
for a long time.
I thought this interview
was about Principal Santos.
It is.
All aspects
of her life.
How old are you?
We're 16.
All of you?
I thought you were sisters.
Cousins, right?
Right.
We were all just born
around the same time.
EVIE:
You're lucky your aunt has
such a big house.
Do you share
a bedroom?
No.
Yes.
Excuse me?
BOTH [IN UNISON]:
I mean yes.
We used to share,
but now we don't.
I think we've got enough
for the article, right, Evie?
I haven't finished
my questions yet.
ZAC:
No one at school cares
where they sleep.
I think they do.
So, David,
let's go get some photos now.
Yeah.
Excellent idea.
Shall we go up to the roof?
Evie, come on.
What's going on?
Zac tricked us.
He's got the trident.
What? Well, that's terrible.
It's dangerous.
We're not sure
if he knows how to use it yet.
Trust me, when he figures
it out, we'll all know.
We should go, before Evie
gets any more suspicious.
DAVID:
Just look natural.
Nixie, maybe if you could
smile or something?
Yeah, beautiful, guys.
[SHUTTER CLICKING]
I'll just use your bathroom,
if that's okay.
Zac.
I won't be long.
Just move to the left
a little bit.
Yeah, really nice, guys.
[SHUTTER CLICKING]
[♪♪♪]
DAVID:
So you guys are doing
a great job.
Team effort.
It's nice.
Yeah, really nice, guys.
That's awesome.
[MEOWS]
[SHUTTER CLICKS]
RITA:
David, is this gonna take
much longer?
Just trying to get
the lighting right.
It'll be
fine.
I want the best pictures
that we can get.
Ms. Santos always says
how much she admires
the high quality of
the magazine.
DAVID:
Ms. Santos, could you
just move across,
to your right
a little bit?
And you two girls,
could you move
across a bit as well?
Keep going, keep going,
keep going. Stop.
Keep going, keep going,
stop. Thank you.
Smile.
And angry.
Show me how angry you are.
Why are you so angry?
Why are you so angry?
[♪♪♪]
DAVID:
Smile.
Zac should be back
by now.
He's up
to something.
DAVID:
Last one.
Smile.
Awesome.
Maybe David could get
a few photos of the house?
Evie.
Just to get a feel for
who you all are.
I'm sure you've got more than
enough to write your article.
Did you find
the bathroom?
Yeah, thanks.
We better get back.
[CAT MEOWS]
ZAC:
Evie!
Evie, wait.
Yeah. So much for
wanting to help me.
I told you to let me
do the talking.
I thought you went a bit far
in there, that's all.
The interview was
your idea.
My idea was to interview Rita.
Not the girls.
That was all you.
Yeah.
Because I'm the editor
and I'm the one
writing the story.
Rita's totally covering
for them.
Covering what?
Come on.
I'm just gonna go,
guys.
I haven't figured
it out yet.
But I'm starting to think
they might not even be
related to her.
Whoa. Hang on.
So the girls don't go
to our school.
You took their side.
You tried to shut me up.
Why?
I was only trying to
protect you in there, okay?
Well, next time,
don't.
One thing's for certain,
Evie's a very smart girl.
We'll all have to be careful
of her from now on.
It's not just Evie.
There's Zac too.
Where did he go while we were
being photographed?
And what was he doing
all that time?
I don't know,
but I don't trust him.
You don't think
he could have gotten...?
I don't think he could possibly
have made his way down here.
He was searching
near the bookcase.
The moon rings are safe.
They're the only truly
valuable thing down here.
Everything else seems
to be in place.
Is that
your mermaid intuition?
Careful.
You should see this place under
Rita's, it's like a pirate cave.
Or an antique shop.
I've got to get back in there
and check it out properly.
Yeah. And borrow
some of those gold coins?
One, she's a
very powerful mermaid.
And two, she's our
very powerful principal.
Bad idea.
Yeah.
I said borrow,
not steal.
I'm more interested
in finding out
what else she's got
down there.
Like a way to turn
that on?
All her secrets are there,
I just need more time to look.
She's not gonna let
you wander
all through her house
by yourself.
I don't have to,
there's another way in
from the sea.
I saw it.
I could smell
the salt water.
Well, that's one disadvantage
to being a mermaid.
They have back doors
they can't lock.
[♪♪♪]
Thought so.
Just give us the trident
and get out.
It doesn't belong to you.
Since I'm the one holding it,
I'm kind of guessing it does.
You don't know what it can do,
you don't understand its power.
Why do you think I'm here?
And it's not to get a lecture
from you lot.
This isn't a game, Zac,
it's serious.
So am I.
Hey. Three on one,
you're gonna lose.
Sirena.
I'm not doing
anything.
I can't turn it off.
What's happening?
Whoa.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE:
Rita, we're really sorry
that Zac found out
how to get in here.
No,
it's not your fault.
It is.
Because of us,
Zac knows more about you,
and Evie's
asking questions.
I can handle Evie.
All we've done is
cause trouble for you.
I'm more worried about
the trouble Zac's gonna cause
now that the trident's
been charged up.
I couldn't stop it, it just drew
the energy out of my ring.
It's the way
the trident's designed.
It stores the power
of moonlight,
but if there's no moon,
it will take that power from
wherever else it can find it.
We tried warning him,
but he just has no idea
what he's messing with.
If Zac uses the trident,
he'll unleash forces
well beyond his control.
And ours.
Did it work?
Let's see what it can do.
Awesome.
I want one.

Maybe Zac didn't get
the trident.
We never saw him with it,
so maybe he was too late.
Yeah, right,
wishful thinking.
It's not.
You always think he's smarter
than he actually is.
LYLA:

Well, that still doesn't mean
he actually got it.

There's only one way

Don't be too long in there.
I never thought
I'd say this,
but I really hope
you're right and I'm wrong.
Yeah, me too.
CAM:
So, what does it do?
Well, most websites say
the same thing.
It's a mythological weapon
of great power and magic.
Used to create earthquakes,
tidal waves, storms.
And how'd they do that?
ZAC:
It doesn't say.

Oh, and mermaids
aren't real.
Maybe you have to
speak mermaid.
Is that even a language?
LYLA: Zac?
Guess what they're after.
If it's that important,
there's no way
I'm giving it back.
LYLA:
Zac, we have to talk.
What do you want?
Where is
it?
Where's what?
You know exactly what we mean.
Sorry, I don't know
what you're talking about.
Do you, Cam?
It's dangerous.
You're messing with power
you can't understand,
let alone control.
Have you been eating
swordfish?
I think the mercury's starting
to mess with your brain.
NIXIE:
You stay out of this,
land-boy.
We weren't hatched
yesterday.
Zac, please.
I know you don't believe this,
but we're on your side.
You have to trust us.
Yeah, right,
like that's gonna happen.
I bet it's inside.
We'll take it

Zac?
[♪♪♪]
Shouldn't you all
be getting ready for school?
Yep.
Just on our way.
Well, off you go,
then.
We'll be seeing you around,
Zac.
They mean it.
They'll be back.
Got to find a good place
to stash it.
Fast.
NIXIE:
Why even bother pretending
that he hasn't got it?
See, Lyla?
I told you he wasn't smart.
He's still got the trident
and we don't.
So how do we
get it back?
Well, we wait till
he's gone to school
and then we turn his place
upside down.
I'll meet you there
later.
Where are you
going?
To try
one last time.
LYLA:
Hey, Zac.
Not again.
Go away, Lyla.
I'm telling the truth.
It really is dangerous.
You'll try anything
to get your hands on it.
No, I just didn't want
to see you get hurt.
Please. You have to
believe me, I'm not lying.
Evie? I need to talk to you
about the school magazine.
Please. If you won't
give it back to us,
just return it to Mako.
I've got to go.
What if she's telling
the truth?
She's not.
It's a trick.
Maybe.
I'll tell you one thing,
she's not gonna help you turn
it on and show you how it works.
She probably doesn't know.
It's got to be a mermaid,
right?
An older one.
One who knows more mermaid stuff
than they do.
Who might've been taught
about tridents.
You mean Santos.
Do you know
any other older mermaids?
I don't think she's
gonna tell you anything.
We don't have enough articles
for the online edition.
The deadline's
in a week.
Okay, what about annual
teacher profile?
DAVID:
We interviewed the sports coach
last year.
She was boring.
Who else
is there?
How about
Santos?
Yes,
what about her?
I don't know,
Principal Santos,
she likes to stay

Mysterious is good.
Exactly why you should
interview her.
Well,
what's her angle?
"Who's the real Rita Santos?"
We could even interview her
at her house.
EVIE:

We could even ask her
about those weird nieces.
Hey.
They're not that weird.
Besides, good luck trying
to convince Principal Santos
to let us interview her

[♪♪♪]
Well, have you found it?

Then I came back

I think we've got enough
for the article, right, Evie?
I haven't finished
my questions yet.
ZAC:
No one at school cares
where they sleep.
I think they do.
So, David,
let's go get some photos now.
Yeah.
Excellent idea.
Shall we go up to the roof?
Evie, come on.
What's going on?
Zac tricked us.
He's got the trident.
What? Well, that's terrible.
It's dangerous.
We're not sure
if he knows how to use it yet.
Trust me, when he figures
it out, we'll all know.
We should go, before Evie
gets any more suspicious.
DAVID:
Just look natural.
Nixie, maybe if you could
smile or something?
Yeah, beautiful, guys.
[SHUTTER CLICKING]
I'll just use your bathroom,
if that's okay.
Zac.
I won't be long.
Just move to the left
a little bit.
Yeah, really nice, guys.
[SHUTTER CLICKING]
[♪♪♪]
DAVID:
So you guys are doing
a great job.
Team effort.
It's nice.
Yeah, really nice, guys.
That's awesome.
[MEOWS]
[SHUTTER CLICKS]
RITA:
David, is this gonna take
much longer?
Just trying to get
the lighting right.
It'll be
fine.
I want the best pictures
that we can get.
Ms. Santos always says
how much she admires
the high quality of
the magazine.
DAVID:
Ms. Santos, could you
just move across,
to your right
a little bit?
And you two girls,
could you move
across a bit as well?
Keep going, keep going,
keep going. Stop.
Keep going, keep going,
stop. Thank you.
Smile.
And angry.
Show me how angry you are.
Why are you so angry?
Why are you so angry?
[♪♪♪]
DAVID:
Smile.
Zac should be back
by now.
He's up
to something.
DAVID:
Last one.
Smile.
Awesome.
Maybe David could get
a few photos of the house?
Evie.
Just to get a feel for
who you all are.
I'm sure you've got more than
enough to write your article.
Did you find
the bathroom?
Yeah, thanks.
We better get back.
[CAT MEOWS]
ZAC:
Evie!
Evie, wait.
Yeah. So much for
wanting to help me.
I told you to let me
do the talking.
I thought you went a bit far
in there, that's all.
The interview was
your idea.
My idea was to interview Rita.
Not the girls.
That was all you.
Yeah.
Because I'm the editor
and I'm the one
writing the story.
Rita's totally covering
for them.
Covering what?
Come on.
I'm just gonna go,
guys.
I haven't figured
it out yet.
But I'm starting to think
they might not even be
related to her.
Whoa. Hang on.
So the girls don't go
to our school.
You took their side.
You tried to shut me up.
Why?
I was only trying to
protect you in there, okay?
Well, next time,
don't.
One thing's for certain,
Evie's a very smart girl.
We'll all have to be careful
of her from now on.
It's not just Evie.
There's Zac too.
Where did he go while we were
being photographed?
And what was he doing
all that time?
I don't know,
but I don't trust him.
You don't think
he could have gotten...?
I don't think he could possibly
have made his way down here.
He was searching
near the bookcase.
The moon rings are safe.
They're the only truly
valuable thing down here.
Everything else seems
to be in place.
Is that
your mermaid intuition?
Careful.
You should see this place under
Rita's, it's like a pirate cave.
Or an antique shop.
I've got to get back in there
and check it out properly.
Yeah. And borrow
some of those gold coins?
One, she's a
very powerful mermaid.
And two, she's our
very powerful principal.
Bad idea.
Yeah.
I said borrow,
not steal.
I'm more interested
in finding out
what else she's got
down there.
Like a way to turn
that on?
All her secrets are there,
I just need more time to look.
She's not gonna let
you wander
all through her house
by yourself.
I don't have to,
there's another way in
from the sea.
I saw it.
I could smell
the salt water.
Well, that's one disadvantage
to being a mermaid.
They have back doors
they can't lock.
[♪♪♪]
Thought so.
Just give us the trident
and get out.
It doesn't belong to you.
Since I'm the one holding it,
I'm kind of guessing it does.
You don't know what it can do,
you don't understand its power.
Why do you think I'm here?
And it's not to get a lecture
from you lot.
This isn't a game, Zac,
it's serious.
So am I.
Hey. Three on one,
you're gonna lose.
Sirena.
I'm not doing
anything.
I can't turn it off.
What's happening?
Whoa.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE:
Rita, we're really sorry
that Zac found out
how to get in here.
No,
it's not your fault.
It is.
Because of us,
Zac knows more about you,
and Evie's
asking questions.
I can handle Evie.
All we've done is
cause trouble for you.
I'm more worried about
the trouble Zac's gonna cause
now that the trident's
been charged up.
I couldn't stop it, it just drew
the energy out of my ring.
It's the way
the trident's designed.
It stores the power
of moonlight,
but if there's no moon,
it will take that power from
wherever else it can find it.
We tried warning him,
but he just has no idea
what he's messing with.
If Zac uses the trident,
he'll unleash forces
well beyond his control.
And ours.
Did it work?
Let's see what it can do.
Awesome.
I want one.
