Mako: Island of Secrets

Morning.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

How are you?

-I'm great. -Really?

I've got a lot to be thankful for.

This beach, perfect weather...

you.

And your sister.

Ah, it's a busy day. I'd better get going.

I'll see you at the café, okay?

All this time we've been so close to your brother.

It is pretty amazing.

You never felt anything?

I can always tell when Aquata's nearby. I can feel it in the water.

Not until we started sharing visions.

Now we know why we couldn't take Zac's powers away.

He was never a land boy at all.

Hey, Evie.

Have you seen Zac? Is he okay?

-He's fine. -Are you sure?

He said he didn't want to have anything to do with us.

That was then.

Now, I think he's accepted it.

Great.

I've been wanting to go and see him.

So, we were thinking we'd go and have lunch at the club.

It's a beautiful day, we can get a table looking over the water.

Why don't you come with us? We haven't done that for ages.

-I know. I've just got stuff to do. - Come on, Zac.

We can, you know, have a chat.

Oh!

-Hi, there. - I don't believe we've met.

I'm Dr. Blakely, Zac's father.

And I'm his mother, Lauren.

Nice to meet you. I'm Mimmi, Zac's--

Friend.

She's just a friend.

-Leave it. I'll put it away. -Please, come to lunch.

We'd like to... explain some things.

You've already explained.

Just go and enjoy your lunch. It's okay.

Well, if you're sure.

- Nice to meet you, Mimmi. -You too.

They seem nice.

I can see how much they care about you.

You... want to hang out?

Uh, go for a swim?

-I'm kind of busy. -Okay.

Well, later then.

You've probably got loads of questions.

I know I do.

There's so much to find out.

We can do it together.

Right?

We've got each other now?

I've got to go.

Ondina!

I really need to talk to you.

Erik?

Erik? Table six are waiting on those.

Okay.

Hey, Sirena.

Tell David.

- Tell him what? -To have a party.

It's the café's second anniversary today.

Nobody wants to celebrate a café's anniversary.

I'm just happy it's lasted this long.

-We have to do something. -A cake at least.

I make a delicious seaweed jelly cake.

I think David would prefer an ice cream cake.

-I don't know how to make one of those. -It's okay.

I can do it. I'll make his favorite.

Keep him busy. I'll go get the ingredients.

This is going to be the best cake ever.

Hey, big guy. Where you headed?

Meeting Evie at the café.

How's things? I've been worried about you.

Well, you can stop. I'm fine.

At least we know why you always beat me in the pool.

Unfair advantage, you being a real merman.

You have a shelf full of trophies won under false pretenses.

Hey, Mitchell.

How come you're not in the tower? Get back up there.

I'm just talking to my friend.

What is wrong with this guy? Can't even do as he's told.

Maybe he thinks he's in charge?

Come on, guys. He got down for a second.

I know you.

Zac Blakely. Used to be a lifeguard too.

-What happened? You couldn't hack it? - Whoa! Cool it, Luca.

Get back up there or you're cleaning the clubhouse toilets.

Losers.

And I really love the colors in here.

Is this what it looked like when you first opened?

Pretty much. Where's Carly?

She's busy.

Did I mention that I really like the tables, too?

Carly, can you clear those tables?

Yep. Onto it. I just have to get something from the cool room.

And where did you get this? I love it.

Sirena, it's a fridge.

Sirena.

I really need to talk to Ondina. Do you know where she went?

She's really upset with you. We all are.

I know I made a mistake and I'm sorry.

I just want a chance to explain everything.

If I was Ondina, I wouldn't want to see you.

So, is she at Rita's?

I didn't say that.

Right. Thanks.

-Hey, Evie. -Hey.

I, um...

I really admire you for handling this so well.

I mean, it's such a huge shock, but you really seem to be

-getting your head around it. -Evie, enough.

And then discovering you've got a sister and a whole other family in the sea.

How incredible is that?

I'm sorry, I can't do this.

Zac?

Zac!

What's wrong?

What do you think is wrong?

My mum is not my mum, my dad is not my dad,

and I have no idea who my real parents are.

I'm not even a real human being.

I... I just... I don't know who I am anymore.

I don't think Zac's ready to accept me.

He's gonna need time.

His whole world has changed.

Why is everyone so concerned about Zac?

Our mother abandoned me, too.

-Mimmi. -Why would she do that?

I don't know.

But from what I've heard, Nerissa was an extraordinary mermaid.

I'm sure she loved you both very much.

Not enough to keep us.

It would have been... a last resort.

A way of making sure you were both safe.

Safe from what?

I heard rumors of trouble in the Northern Pod.

But it is no accident that you grew up near each other,

Zac here on land, you out there with the Mako Pod.

Nerissa wanted you as close as possible,

so that one day you'd find your way back to each other.

You really think so?

-What do you think? -David's gonna love it.

Uh, can you grab me a box?

-David will never find it in here. -

Carly, what are you doing in here? We've got customers.

Uh, the weekly clean up.

Yeah, that's right.

-And you know how long that takes. -But we did that yesterday.

I thought I'd get in early for next week.

Hey, David, uh, can you take over from here?

I've got a last minute seafood order that needs to be delivered.

Oh, what order? I didn't see any.

Oh, don't worry about it. I've got it sorted.

I'll be back soon, okay?

It's not your usual delivery.

It's a peace offering.

You think a few crustaceans on ice make up for what you did?

-I was trying to help you. -By lying to me.

You agreed to keep Zac away from the chamber,

-and then you led him straight there. -We all need to know what it's for.

He's the only one who can start it up and show us.

If he controls it, you'll be safe.

You don't know that. Anything could've happened.

-Just take it and go. -I'm not leaving.

Fine, then I will.

All I ever wanted was to make sure you were safe.

-Maybe I went about it the wrong way but-- - You got that part right.

But it's because you're so important to me.

You were important to me, too. Like no one else ever has been.

You were the first I ever let get that close,

the first I ever let myself feel that way about.

This isn't just about Mako.

It's about me.

We don't have a gig tonight.

In fact, I was planning on closing a little early for a change.

You can't do that.

-Why not? -Uh, because...

-I, um, took a late booking... -Yeah.

-...for a big group. -Big group.

We don't take bookings.

Well, I wasn't gonna turn that many people down.

Can't we just give him the cake now?

Not everybody's here. There's only a few more hours to wait.
