0:00:00 > 0:00:02We don't know where your mum is.

0:00:02 > 0:00:04Mamma said she would write to my grandfather.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06I hid the letter, OK?

0:00:06 > 0:00:07Was it from home? An airmail letter?

0:00:07 > 0:00:09- I don't know. - It's from my grandfather,

0:00:09 > 0:00:11he has heard nothing from Mamma.

0:00:11 > 0:00:15Bethany Summer just sent me a love letter, she got it bad.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52COCKEREL CROWS

0:01:19 > 0:01:23DOG BARKS

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Sar?!

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Have you seen Rocket?

0:01:34 > 0:01:35No, love!

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Sorry!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09BEEPING

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Escaping from poo duty an' all?

0:02:12 > 0:02:13Yeah, and the rest.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Bethany Summer's got this idea in her head

0:02:21 > 0:02:23that me and her have, like, this thing.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25What?

0:02:25 > 0:02:27It's just a misunderstanding.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Does Dibber know?

0:02:29 > 0:02:30No.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32And I want to keep it that way.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Today, I'm incommunicado.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38What's income avocado?

0:02:38 > 0:02:41It's where no-one can get in touch with me.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42What's he doing?

0:02:43 > 0:02:46He's says there's pirate treasure.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49So far he's found a fishing hook and a bit of an old zip.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53You were saying?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Suit you, that will.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Ah!

0:03:01 > 0:03:02Morforwyn.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Morforwyn?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06The Mermaid of Dirgelmor!

0:03:07 > 0:03:10The most beautiful face you ever saw.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12And her voice!

0:03:12 > 0:03:16When she sings, even the birds stop to listen.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20She's been away for many years.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Now it seems that she has returned.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Because you found a manky old comb?

0:03:25 > 0:03:29Because, young man, the sun rules the land

0:03:29 > 0:03:31and the moon rules the waves.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33When both appear in the sky at once,

0:03:33 > 0:03:34it means only one thing.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38A mermaid has come to shore.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39Let's go and meet her!

0:03:39 > 0:03:40Oh, no, no, no, no.

0:03:40 > 0:03:46Morforwyn stays in the secluded coves, away from prying eyes.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48We must respect her privacy.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Besides, the last time I saw her

0:03:52 > 0:03:55she threatened to turn me into a sea turtle!

0:04:04 > 0:04:07You two are the most gullible people I've ever met. Like, ever.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09It's called being open-minded.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13If mermaids existed we'd know about them. There'd be proof!

0:04:13 > 0:04:14Well, actually, in biology

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Mr Davies said that 90% of the sea hasn't been explored yet

0:04:18 > 0:04:21so actually there's no proof that mermaids don't exist.

0:04:25 > 0:04:26Are you coming or not?

0:04:26 > 0:04:27In that deathtrap?

0:04:27 > 0:04:29I don't think so.

0:04:29 > 0:04:30Are you scared?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32No, I just don't care enough.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Don't you want to know the truth?

0:04:34 > 0:04:36THEY MAKE CHICKEN NOISES

0:04:40 > 0:04:43All right, I'll go. Let's just see your faces when you're wrong.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Hurry up.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54SHEEP BLEATS

0:04:55 > 0:04:58We're going to be late for our work experience.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Meryl, I just need to borrow them.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07It wasn't me.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15What?

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Shada...

0:05:18 > 0:05:20it's your mum.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23She's been found.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26She was arrested a few days ago.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29No, it's OK, she's all right,

0:05:29 > 0:05:30she's been released.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Take me to her. I want to see her.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33And she wants to see you,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36but there's just a few things that need to happen first. OK?

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I'm going to go to the office with Kim now,

0:05:38 > 0:05:40and try and get it all sorted out.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Get you two back together again as soon as possible.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55I cannot believe it!

0:05:55 > 0:05:57It is like the messages in the shelter said.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I just had to wait a little longer.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03It's brilliant.

0:06:03 > 0:06:04Aren't you glad for me?

0:06:04 > 0:06:05Course I am.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08I will miss you too.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Come on. I am not gone yet.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14And we still have work experience to get to.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15You're still coming?

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Of course! If this is our last weekend together

0:06:18 > 0:06:21we must make it one we will always remember.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Do you reckon that Rocket, Jade and Brandon

0:06:23 > 0:06:26are going to avoid me the whole day?

0:06:26 > 0:06:27Pretty much.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34DIALS NUMBER

0:06:36 > 0:06:38PHONE RINGS

0:06:54 > 0:06:57METAL DETECTOR BEEPS

0:07:04 > 0:07:06CONTINUOUS BEEPING

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Just more boring old rocks and sand. What a surprise.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19DISTANT SINGING

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Listen! What's...?- Ssh!

0:07:23 > 0:07:25It's her!

0:07:26 > 0:07:28It's coming from over there.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32That could be anything, coming from miles away.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35We should go back.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37Come on.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Well, don't you two look the part?!

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Now, you girls behave yourselves and work hard, yes?

0:08:00 > 0:08:02These placements take a lot of organisation

0:08:02 > 0:08:04so I want you to show your appreciation.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Have fun!

0:08:11 > 0:08:12We look ridiculous.

0:08:13 > 0:08:14It's not all bad.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Eurgh! What's he doing here?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Who, Lucas?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23He speaks very highly of you, Miss Boulsworth.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Mr Summer! I didn't mean...

0:08:25 > 0:08:26I was just...

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Barnacles!

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Pardon?

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Come on!

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Nice hat, Boulsworth.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48You have got oil on your face.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Morning, Mr B!

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Hey, Dibber!

0:09:17 > 0:09:18Give us a hand, will you?

0:09:18 > 0:09:19Er...

0:09:19 > 0:09:21I was only looking for Rocket.

0:09:21 > 0:09:22Well, he's just nipped out.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25He won't be long though.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Eurgh! Poo!

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Eurgh, it touched me!

0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's only grass and hay, Daniel!

0:09:40 > 0:09:41But that's been through a cow.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44All right, all right, fine. Let's swap then.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49What time did you say Rocket would be back?

0:09:49 > 0:09:53Hey, this is the best upper body workout that you can get.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57It's good for your pecs, your deltoids, your biceps, your triceps.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00I'll let you into a secret, the ladies love it.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16This is not what I was expecting when we agreed to this placement.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18And who does he think he is?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20He could at least give us a hand.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Just ignore him. We are meant to be having fun! Remember?

0:10:27 > 0:10:29No! No!

0:10:37 > 0:10:38Eurgh!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40PHONE CLICKS

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Sorry.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51See? It's stopped now.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Let's just go a bit further.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54What's the point?

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Er, guys?

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Is that our boat?

0:11:12 > 0:11:16I don't know how it got so tangled.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Don't worry, it'll wash out.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25I bet he sent that picture to Tyler.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27It'll be round the whole school by Monday.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Anyone up for a trip around the bay?

0:11:29 > 0:11:30For real?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Unless you want to carry on cleaning that lot up?

0:11:34 > 0:11:35You up for it, son?

0:11:35 > 0:11:36Deffo.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Go on, Daniel, feel the burn!

0:11:39 > 0:11:40I'm feeling it!

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Yes, make this the last one then.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Yes, you did it! Well done!

0:11:44 > 0:11:45Well done.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Right, right.

0:11:53 > 0:11:54Bethany!

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Hello, Mr Boulsworth.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Is Rocket in?

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Um... No.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02No, it's more than likely he's out with Jade and Brandon.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09So, can I help you with anything?

0:12:09 > 0:12:10Like what?

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Well, whatever you want Rocket for?

0:12:12 > 0:12:15You really, really smell of poo.

0:12:23 > 0:12:24HE GROANS

0:12:39 > 0:12:41What?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Did you send the picture of Alli to Tyler?

0:12:43 > 0:12:44What? No!

0:12:45 > 0:12:47I didn't!

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Look, check my messages if you don't believe me.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Look,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59if it's that big a deal then I'll delete the photo.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02Happy?

0:13:17 > 0:13:19There's no way up.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20We're trapped.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22You should have listened to me!

0:13:22 > 0:13:24You should have tied the boat up properly!

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- How was I meant to know?! - Boats float, Brandon! It's obvious!

0:13:27 > 0:13:31- If we'd gone back when I said, this wouldn't have happened!- Get off me!

0:13:32 > 0:13:34No! Stop it!

0:13:35 > 0:13:37How is this helping?

0:13:37 > 0:13:38I thought you'd changed.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41He has changed.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Old Brandon would have decked you already.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44You haven't, though.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Still falling for that barmy old man's rubbish.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48He's not barmy!

0:13:48 > 0:13:49Go on, then! With your amazing island!

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Where's the miracle to get us out of this one?

0:13:51 > 0:13:53We don't need a miracle!

0:13:53 > 0:13:56This is my island and I'm not afraid of it!

0:13:56 > 0:13:57And I'm not afraid of you.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02I'm going to check out the cave

0:14:02 > 0:14:05and see if there's an old smuggler's tunnel or something.

0:14:09 > 0:14:10What?

0:14:10 > 0:14:14At least he doesn't make his mind up without giving stuff a chance.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Can't you see why that matters?

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Whatever.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23I don't want your ugly mug to be the last thing I ever see

0:14:23 > 0:14:24so just...

0:14:24 > 0:14:26come on.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49Now what?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Over here!

0:14:54 > 0:14:56- Help!- Wait!

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Over here!

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Help!

0:15:00 > 0:15:01Help!

0:15:23 > 0:15:25BLOWS WHISTLE

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Rocket, they won't be able to hear you.

0:15:28 > 0:15:29They're too far out.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30It's not for them.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37DOG BARKS

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Fetch help!

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Are we seriously putting our lives in the hands of a dog?

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Wayne won't let me down.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45We have to trust him.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47This is stupid.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Rocket, the tide's coming in really fast.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Brandon's right.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54We need to think of something else.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58I don't know everything, OK?

0:16:58 > 0:17:00I don't know if mermaids exist,

0:17:00 > 0:17:02I don't know if it's all just fairy tales,

0:17:02 > 0:17:04but I do know my dog,

0:17:06 > 0:17:08and he will get help.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13I know my dog.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25DOG BARKS

0:17:31 > 0:17:33I'm onto something big here, boy!

0:17:35 > 0:17:36I can feel it in my waters!

0:17:52 > 0:17:53you crazy dog?!

0:17:55 > 0:17:56What's wrong with you?

0:18:14 > 0:18:15We need to get up on the rocks.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28Hey!

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Stay where you are, don't move!

0:18:39 > 0:18:40I'll get help.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Daniel,

0:18:56 > 0:18:58good job.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Can I ask your advice about something?

0:19:13 > 0:19:15About...

0:19:15 > 0:19:16women.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Er...

0:19:18 > 0:19:19How do you get them to like you?

0:19:21 > 0:19:22Big muscles isn't enough, is it?

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Not really.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28So, how then?

0:19:30 > 0:19:35Well I think the most important thing is to be yourself.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37If they don't like you for you,

0:19:37 > 0:19:39then it's never going to last, really, is it?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Is that how it is for you and Mrs B?

0:19:42 > 0:19:44You just be yourselves.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45Definitely.

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Thanks.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51I haven't really had anyone to ask about man stuff before.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Well, apart from Grandad.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57I bet he could teach us both a thing or two.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59Quite a wise man, your grandad.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Peeeeteeeer!

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Grandad?

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Ah!

0:20:27 > 0:20:28No-one's coming.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30They'll be here.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38OK, copy that. Standing by.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41OK, everyone buckle up, sit down, quickly now.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42What's going on?

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Some kids, they're trapped in Morforwyn's Cove.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47I'm sorry, Alli. Your brother's out there.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Don't worry, OK? We'll get them.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24- Help.- Help!

0:21:24 > 0:21:25- We're over here!- Help!

0:21:46 > 0:21:50That was awesome! An actual proper rescue,

0:21:50 > 0:21:51get in!

0:21:53 > 0:21:54Thank you.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00Oh, no.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Oh, am I glad to see you!

0:22:10 > 0:22:11Aren't you mad?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13I'm just relieved you're all right.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18You have sorted everything, yes?

0:22:18 > 0:22:19My mother.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20I can see her?

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Shada...

0:22:25 > 0:22:26Erm...

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Listen...

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Someone from my office went to see your mum this afternoon.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35The place was empty and all her things had gone.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36I don't understand.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38The police think she may have run away

0:22:38 > 0:22:41because she was frightened of being sent home.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42But...

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Did she not know I was coming?

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Maybe she just thought you'd be better off with us.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48For the time being.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Ditched her to save herself.

0:22:50 > 0:22:51Hey, Brandon.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Just like my mum.

0:22:53 > 0:22:54Always out for number one.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58We'll keep looking for her.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'm sure we're going to find her again.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Morforwyn's Cove, eh?

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Not very clever, was it?

0:23:18 > 0:23:21There was a mermaid. We heard her singing.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24And she dropped this.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Then you want to count yourselves lucky you didn't bump into her.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31You could have been turned into sea turtles!

0:23:32 > 0:23:35SHE SINGS

0:23:44 > 0:23:45DOG BARKS

0:23:47 > 0:23:48Wayne!

0:23:48 > 0:23:49Dad, stop!

0:23:53 > 0:23:55DISTANT SINGING

0:23:55 > 0:23:56Listen!

0:23:56 > 0:23:57There it is again!

0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's her! It's the mermaid!

0:23:59 > 0:24:00I know that voice!

0:24:02 > 0:24:03Shada!

0:24:05 > 0:24:08Hey, boy. Good boy!

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Come on!

0:24:12 > 0:24:15SINGING CONTINUES

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Mother!

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Shada? Shada!

0:24:33 > 0:24:34- You came!- Of course!

0:24:34 > 0:24:35I thought you left me.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36Left you?!

0:24:36 > 0:24:37They said you had gone.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39They were taking too long!

0:24:39 > 0:24:42When your map came I packed my things and started walking.

0:24:42 > 0:24:43I couldn't wait another minute.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45You walked?

0:24:45 > 0:24:46All this way?

0:24:46 > 0:24:50Shada, I would walk to the ends of the earth to find you.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06I can't believe they got rescued by a lifeboat,

0:25:06 > 0:25:08and I missed everything!

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Where have you two been, eh?

0:25:16 > 0:25:18What is that smell?

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Friends forever.

0:26:09 > 0:26:10I were wrong.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13Shada's mum's nothing like mine.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17She's lucky to have someone who cares about her.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20You've got people who care about you, Brandon.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32Hey,

0:26:32 > 0:26:35you want to come inside and do nails?

0:26:35 > 0:26:39No point. They'll only get chipped cleaning barnacles tomorrow.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Is Lucas going to be there again?

0:26:43 > 0:26:45He's actually not that bad.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Mmm!

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Shut up!

0:26:55 > 0:26:57Right,

0:26:58 > 0:27:02don't think you're off the hook for what you did today, OK?

0:27:02 > 0:27:07That's yours, Brandon, that's you. Don't argue, get it done.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Is it true 90% of the sea hasn't been explored yet?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Yeah.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18So, there could be, like, a giant squid down there or anything.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Well there's no proof there isn't.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48This is an emergency.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50SHEEP BLEATS

0:27:51 > 0:27:52Dad?

0:27:52 > 0:27:55Some folk can put their hand over an animal's head,

0:27:55 > 0:27:57and actually hear what it's thinking.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Off-load anything you like.

0:27:59 > 0:28:00Eurgh!
