Whoa!
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
MOTHER:
Zac.
Zac?
No, Mom. Wait.
What's going on?
Zac, I can't--
Zac.
What have you done to your room?
It's a complete and utter mess.
I know, Mom, sorry.
I'll clean it up.
Leave it, it's vacuuming day.
It's my room,
I-- I'll fix it.
Zac, I have to clean
the room anyway.
I'll do it later.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[♪♪♪]
The trident belongs on Mako.
He shouldn't even have it.
Fine, just tell me
where he keeps it.
If I knew that, we wouldn't be
having this conversation.
He's not dumb. It's going to be
somewhere he thinks is safe.
It's not where he lives.
We've already searched there
and his pod house.
Hello. Wouldn't that be
the least expected?
That would make it
the smartest place.
That's way too risky.
Well, then where else?
It's not like he can just carry
it around with him.
Why not?
If I knew the three of us
were desperate to get it,
I wouldn't leave it,
I'd keep it with me.
Real subtle disguise, man.
What did you bring that for?
Mom's vacuuming.
And I made it work again.
What'd you do?
Blasted my coffee table.
Knocked it right over.
You're kidding.
What if your locker
gets searched?
What are the odds of that?
Hey. What are
you two up to?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Yeah, right.
Then what are you talking about
so secretively?
Guy stuff.
Because, if you must know, Evie,
I've got a rash
and it's hard to sleep and--
Ooh. Too much information.
Tried to warn you.
Ugh. We better
get moving.
Hey, where are your books?
I, uh, left them
at home.
You can borrow
one of mine.
Come on, we'll be late.
[♪♪♪]
Can you see him?
Not yet.
He's gotta be here
somewhere.
Let's do it.
Just be careful.
[♪♪♪]
Why are they
staring at us?
They're still staring at us.
Maybe we need books and bags
like they have?
Let's just find Zac.
You've gotta be
kidding me.
I thought you were going
to tone this down.
You take the pictures,
I write the articles.
I won't be taking more if you
keep writing stuff like this.
What's the big deal?
Evie let loose
in the school newspaper.
"Why does Ms. Santos
homeschool her nieces
"when she runs
a well-respected high school?
"I never really got an answer.
"Perhaps they expect
to go home soon,
"but I got no answer to that
or where they're actually
from, either."
So?
So you're making it sound like
they've done something wrong.
Look, haven't you ever wondered
why they suddenly turned up?
Ms. Santos never mentioned
any family before then.
Why would she?
DAVID:
I'm just glad
they did turn up.
Looks like you're not the only
one who hated that article.
I warned you not
to get so personal.
Zac, a word, please.
It's not my fault, Ms. Santos.
I can explain.
No need.
Very well done, Evie.
I was only doing my job.
Sorry?
A good journalist
can't be afraid
to ask the difficult questions,
no matter who their subject is.
Huh. Well, um...
Yes, exactly.
RITA:
A good journalist also knows
where to draw the line,
and if they don't, their subject
will draw it for them.
That's a private word, please.
This won't take long, but it
needs to be said: the trident.
Had a feeling
this would be the topic.
Don't make light
of this, Zac.
Even just being in possession
of it is a danger.
I've heard all about the nasty
things it's meant to do.
It's a dangerous
and powerful weapon.
The trident is
so much more than that.
Look, you just have
to take my word for it
and put it back
where it belongs.
What do you know
about it?
I can't tell you.
Why not?
If this is all about
protecting me...
You just have
to take my word for it.
If you understood the origins
of the trident, you would.
That's the thing. No one's
telling me the full picture.
Does it have something to do
with how I got like this?
Look, I can't tell you
the details,
but if you use it
the wrong way,
there's no chance
of being turned back.
What?
Zac, please, you just have
to do the right thing here.
Then it does have something
to do with the way I am.
[♪♪♪]
Um...
You really just
have to lis--
Are--? Are you okay?
Yeah. Um...
Sorry, we can--
We can finish this later.
[♪♪♪]
What's going on?
I don't know,
but this thing's sure
got it in for our principal.
Rita?
SIRENA:
Are you okay?
What happened?
I don't know. I just
was talking to Zac and...
I just felt weak.
It's almost like the life
was being drained out of me.
Well, what are you girls
doing here?
Let's get you
to your office first.
As you introduce the gas
to the flask
and start to slowly heat it,
and I mean slowly heat it,
it will of course expand.
As you should all know, the law
describing the relationship
between temperature and volume
is Charles' Law, or...
Zac?
TEACHER: Amontons' Law.
Shh!
But what are you--?
TEACHER:
So as the gas slowly
heats up and expands,
the glass syringe holding
your gas will be pushed out.
Now, also remember that
while this law holds
for ideal gases
at atmospheric pressure...
[WHISPERING] Mermaids.
Here?
There.
[♪♪♪]
Oh, thank you.
What are you girls
doing here?
We think Zac might have brought
the trident to school.
Here?
It's possible.
Anything
to stop us getting it.
Well, I wonder if that's what
could be affecting me.
We've gotta find him.
His first class is chemistry.
Block 4, Room 18.
I'll come.
No, you need to rest.
We can't leave her like this.
You guys go and I'll stay.
Are you sure?
Of course. Now go and get Zac.
Where exactly were you
when it happened?
Um, at the lockers.
So, what we're trying
to determine
is whether the deviation
from ideality...
I have to skip school.
Gotta find somewhere
to stash that thing.
Where?
I don't know.
But the mermaids
are after it.
And you saw what it did.
I can't leave it in my locker.
Cover for me.
You're leaving now?
Just say I'm sick.
What sort of sick?
I don't care, I've gotta go.
[IN NORMAL VOICE]
Oh, sorry, sir, I've gotta go.
Zac.
What is the volume of the mass
inside the apparatus?
And what is the best way
to measure
the temperature of the gas,
both of the gas and of the water
around it?
[♪♪♪]
This is it.
NIXIE:
It's empty.
[♪♪♪]
Sixteen, 17.
Here it is.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
I don't see him.
Where is he?
Well, if anyone knows,
then I guess Cam will know.
LYLA: Good idea.
Lyla. Nixie.
I know why you're here. It's
about the article, isn't it?
I'm so sorry. Please tell
Sirena I had no idea.
It's not my fault.
Okay.
You do believe me, don't you?
Yes.
I just want her to know that
I had nothing to do with it.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
It's my brother.
You will tell her, won't you?
Uh, yep.
I'm at school, Joe.
I can't help you pack fish.
Well, then work later.
Sorry, it's still not
my problem. I can't help you.
Get this, my brother Joe
expects me to help him
pack fish at the warehouse.
Warehouse?
Because he's running late
and he's too stingy
to pay overtime.
And he wonders
why I won't skip school.
Why would I wanna go
into a business
that starts before dawn
and ends at noon?
The warehouse?
Yeah, I know it.
Okay.
Yeah, cool, I got that.
All right.
LYLA:
You think he's meeting Zac?
In there?
Don't know.
I'll just go in.
BOY:
Hey. What are you doing in here?
Get out!
[♪♪♪]
Uh, nope.
Zac's not in there,
so don't ever ask me
what I just saw.
Where is he?
He was going to the library.
Or was it the gym?
Or was it the assembly hall?
Gee, he's such busy guy.
No, it's definitely the library.
[♪♪♪]
Come on, it's just
the two of us,
but we've still got
to get it done.
Keep moving.
Evie.
Sorry to disturb you,
Ms. Santos,
but I have to talk to you.
Not now, Evie.
You'll have to make
an appointment
with my assistant, Anna.
Is Zac in trouble?
I know you two are close, but
I can't discuss this with you.
Something is going on
and I want to know what it is.
Aren't you due
in class shortly?
EVIE:
First your nieces turn up
and then Zac vanishes.
What is going on?
You have had your chance
to ask questions.
You wrote your article.
Now please, just go to class.
[♪♪♪]
Here, let me handle this.
Hey, Evie. How are you?
What do you want?
Okay, I get that
we don't really get on--
I meant what I said
in the article.
Okay, fine.
We need your help. We've gotta
find Zac. He's in trouble.
What sort of trouble?
It's too hard to explain.
You're just gonna have
to trust me, okay?
Me, believe you?
Evie, where is he?
Just tell me what is going on.
I already told you,
it's too hard to explain.
Do you really think I'm
stupid enough to fall for that?
We have to know.
You'd do anything
to get close to him.
It's not that.
I know you like him,
but you don't belong here.
He's my boyfriend, so give up
and leave us alone, all right?
All right.
That'll do.
Let's get this last one in.
Alrighty.
[♪♪♪]
[ENGINE STARTS]
[♪♪♪]
[THUD]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[♪♪♪]
[CHUCKLES]
Ha!
Cam. Where's Zac?
Search me. He must have
felt sick or something.
Well, why didn't he
say anything to me?
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Hi, Mom.
Uh, Cam, it's me.
Yeah, I know, Mom.
Hey, I've got good news for you.
The birds are flying off course.
What?
The dolphins
are after the wrong worm.
Seriously, I'm counting to three
and then I'm hanging up.
Yeah, I'm trying to tell you
it's all good.
I put your fishy friends
off the scent.
Does it still work?
Like you wouldn't believe.
It's seriously awesome.
Okay, cool.
Stay there, I'll join you.
No, no, don't.
NIXIE:
Let's get Sirena.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE:
Ouch.
Watch this.
[♪♪♪]
[LAUGHS]
Ha!
[GRUNTS]
That is so cool.
And that's just the beginning.
Imagine what it can really do
when I figure it out.
How'd you do that?
I didn't.
The last time it started
by itself was in my locker
when Santos was close.
So? She's not here now.
[♪♪♪]
What are you--?
[♪♪♪]
ZAC:
Thought as much.
[ZAC GRUNTS]
[♪♪♪]
[GROANING]
Ah!
[GRUNTS]
[ALL GRUNT]
Wow.
Come on, girls.
Where are you? Mermaids.
[WHISTLES]
[♪♪♪]
[ZAC GRUNTING]
[GROANS]
Sirena. Are you okay?
[LAUGHING]
I guess this thing
doesn't like mermaids.
[TRUCK APPROACHES]
MAN:
Hey, the doors are open.
[TRUCK DOORS CLOSE]
Not again. Great, thanks.
[♪♪♪]
Someone's broken in.
What the...?
[GASPS]
[OBJECTS CLATTER]
MAN: Who's there?
I said who's there?
Go on, check the back.
[♪♪♪]
Now I know why you're
all so scared of it.
This isn't over, Zac.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, I think it is.
Come on.
LYLA:
You feeling any better?
It was weird.
It was like all the life
was being drained out of me.
That's exactly
how I felt at the school.
NIXIE:
Every time we tried to use our
powers, it counteracted them.
And it made us visible.
What is this thing?
It's like none of our powers
work against it.
That's why it was locked away
all those years ago.
It's designed to override
everything we do.
And worse.
Worse?
So it's more than just a weapon?
NIXIE:
Is there something
you're not telling us?
Because now
would be a good time.
The trident
was designed by mermen
who tried to seize Mako
from the pod
over a thousand years ago.
Now that it's alive again,
if it's taken to the moon pool
during the full moon,
it'll destroy the pool
and the source of all our power.
I'm sorry
I didn't tell you before.
I never thought Zac
would manage to activate it.
Or control it.
No wonder there was a war.
We have to get it off him.
How?
I don't know.
But we are going to find a way.
You see the look on their faces?
Yeah.
With this thing,
they can't even hide from you.
They can't even use their
powers. They've got no chance.
And there's nothing
they can do about it.
Nope. But it does a lot more.
It's somehow connected
with the island.
And I'm gonna
find out how.

Evie, where is he?
Just tell me what is going on.
I already told you,
it's too hard to explain.
Do you really think I'm
stupid enough to fall for that?
We have to know.
You'd do anything
to get close to him.
It's not that.
I know you like him,
but you don't belong here.
He's my boyfriend, so give up
and leave us alone, all right?
All right.
That'll do.
Let's get this last one in.
Alrighty.

[CHUCKLES]
Ha!
Cam. Where's Zac?
Search me. He must have
felt sick or something.
Well, why didn't he
say anything to me?
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Hi, Mom.
Uh, Cam, it's me.
Yeah, I know, Mom.
Hey, I've got good news for you.
The birds are flying off course.
What?
The dolphins
are after the wrong worm.
Seriously, I'm counting to three
and then I'm hanging up.
Yeah, I'm trying to tell you
it's all good.
I put your fishy friends
off the scent.
Does it still work?
Like you wouldn't believe.
It's seriously awesome.
Okay, cool.
Stay there, I'll join you.
No, no, don't.
NIXIE:
Let's get Sirena.
[♪♪♪]
NIXIE:
Ouch.
Watch this.
[♪♪♪]
[LAUGHS]
Ha!
[GRUNTS]
That is so cool.
And that's just the beginning.
Imagine what it can really do
when I figure it out.
How'd you do that?
I didn't.
The last time it started
by itself was in my locker
when Santos was close.
So? She's not here now.
[♪♪♪]
What are you--?
[♪♪♪]
ZAC:
Thought as much.
[ZAC GRUNTS]
[♪♪♪]
[GROANING]
Ah!
[GRUNTS]
[ALL GRUNT]
Wow.
Come on, girls.
Where are you? Mermaids.
[WHISTLES]
[♪♪♪]
[ZAC GRUNTING]
[GROANS]
Sirena. Are you okay?
[LAUGHING]
I guess this thing
doesn't like mermaids.
[TRUCK APPROACHES]
MAN:
Hey, the doors are open.
[TRUCK DOORS CLOSE]
Not again. Great, thanks.
[♪♪♪]
Someone's broken in.
What the...?
[GASPS]
[OBJECTS CLATTER]
MAN: Who's there?
I said who's there?
Go on, check the back.
[♪♪♪]
Now I know why you're
all so scared of it.
This isn't over, Zac.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, I think it is.
Come on.
LYLA:
You feeling any better?
It was weird.
It was like all the life
was being drained out of me.
That's exactly
how I felt at the school.
NIXIE:
Every time we tried to use our
powers, it counteracted them.
And it made us visible.
What is this thing?
It's like none of our powers
work against it.
That's why it was locked away
all those years ago.
It's designed to override
everything we do.
And worse.
Worse?
So it's more than just a weapon?
NIXIE:
Is there something
you're not telling us?
Because now
would be a good time.
The trident
was designed by mermen
who tried to seize Mako
from the pod
over a thousand years ago.
Now that it's alive again,
if it's taken to the moon pool
during the full moon,
it'll destroy the pool
and the source of all our power.
I'm sorry
I didn't tell you before.
I never thought Zac
would manage to activate it.
Or control it.
No wonder there was a war.
We have to get it off him.
How?
I don't know.
But we are going to find a way.
You see the look on their faces?
Yeah.
With this thing,
they can't even hide from you.
They can't even use their
powers. They've got no chance.
And there's nothing
they can do about it.
Nope. But it does a lot more.
It's somehow connected
with the island.
And I'm gonna
find out how.
