Hey there, Charles.
I missed you.
Did you miss me?
[Sandy over PA] All interns,
report to the break room.
Hey! I'm coming.
Let me just clean up.
Bye, Charles.
I'll miss you.
This morning I heard from
Abaco Island Marine Sanctuary.
In case you
don't know who they are,
which you should
since you work here,
they are one of
the most prestigious
marine sanctuaries
in the world.
They are holding
a summer internship
for a select few.
If you are serious about
a marine biology career,
I highly suggest that you apply.
[Michael]
That's exactly what you need.
[Sandy] Now, it is only
for a select few.
It does appear that
the announcement
was made globally.
-Yes, Sarah?
-There's no prices on here.
Any idea how much it will cost?
Good question.
I'm guessing $5,000 to $6,000.
I know it's expensive,
but you're investing
in your future.
And investing in your future
is one of the single
most important things
that you will do.
[Michael] Whoa.
This application is old school.
It has to be snail mail,
and the video needs
to be DVD or mini-DV.
-What even is that?
-It's the old tapes.
You know, the ones our parents
used to use on us as kids.
But I have to ask
my parents before I even try.
-What about you?
-Nah.
All I have to do is
make it seem like this
is something that will help
my career or my education.
My parents won't care.
Last summer, I got a week
in South Beach doing that.
-You should try that.
-Yeah, but I wouldn't need
to make it seem
like it was that important.
It is this important.
I mean, this is my dream.
Sarah,
you have tuition coming up,
dorm housing, a meal plan.
Allison wants to
go to clown camp.
And your ankle surgery
wasn't exactly cheap.
Yeah, you had to sell
all your hair to pay for it.
Really?
But all of these
things were for fun.
Yeah, I'm bald
and had surgery for fun.
I assume the
skateboarding part was.
For five seconds.
[giggling]
Why are you picking
on me though now?
Okay, Dad,
all I'm trying to say
is this is an
opportunity of a lifetime.
I could just swim with dolphins
and be with other animals
to further
my career and education.
And it is the most prestigious
marine sanctuary
in the whole entire world.
Dad, Roman philosopher Seneca--
"Luck is when opportunity
meets preparation."
Exactly.
So if you want to take
advantage of this opportunity,
you need to be prepared
to pay for it yourself.
When I get an after school job,
it's going to be
a job that actually pays
and doesn't involve fish poop.
[Michael] Sarah!
Sarah, look at this.
Look at this. Come on.
Remember the video that
has to be in the mini-DV thing?
Check this out. This is fire.
Are you serious?
You rock, Mikey!
We can make our videos now.
What is "SI Swimsuit
Edition 01 Hot"?
This must have belonged
to, like, a fashion designer.
[Michael] I don't know,
but I got it from Goodwill.
20 bucks for everything.
And we tested the camera.
It's good to go.
When should we do our videos?
The deadline for shipping
is Friday.
Well, why procrastinate?
Let's do them today after work.
[Mikey] Okay.
Yeah, I guess we can
just go straight to my house.
Yay! I'm excited!
[Sandy over PA]
We have a Code Orange.
Code Orange.
An iguana has escaped.
Stand back, everybody!
[cracks neck]
I got this.
[Wild West showdown music
playing]
Oh, my god!
He bit me! He really bit me!
Michael, Michael, calm down.
You've been trained on this.
It's just an iguana.
Michael, these are not venomous.
Look, I didn't know
they weren't venomous.
I watched my dad get bit by
a gila monster in New Mexico.
I'm scarred.
Three words--
funniest thing ever.
All right. Laugh it up.
Let's just call it
survival of the fittest.
And...
take that for me.
-Thank you.
-Got it.
We are making history today.
Literally,
these tapes are so cool.
All right.
"Sa-hair-ah, Sah-har-ah",
let it roll.
And ready?
All right.
Three, two, one.
Action!
Hello, AIMS family.
My name is Sarah Carlson,
and I'm 18 years old
from Marble Falls, Texas.
I've been volunteering at
the San Antonio Aquarium
for like the past...
[tires screeching]
[dog barking]
[ominous music playing]
Aw!
You were texting and driving?
Oh! You almost just killed
this little dog.
What if this would have been
a child?
You are so irresponsible.
-[Child] Thank you!
-[Sarah] You're welcome.
Be sure to keep
this little angel inside
or on a leash, okay?
Oh my gosh.
I hope we didn't break it.
Oh, man.
All right,
I'm gonna switch the tapes
just in case we damaged
the last one.
And...
you ready?
All right.
Take two.
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
And action!
Hi, my name is Sarah Carlson.
I am 18 years old
from Marble Falls, Texas.
And I've been working at
the San Antonio Aquarium
for the past four years.
I have become very familiar
with the reef structure
and have a strong dedication
to the study and care
of marine life.
If I am selected to
be an intern at AIMS,
I will be so grateful
and extremely excited to share
my love and care for animals
and to be contributing
to the sanctuary's vital work
and furthering my growth
to become a future
marine biologist.
Thank you so much for
hosting this internship
and providing a amazing
opportunity for us.
Have a "fin-tastic" day!
[laughing] Nice.
You definitely got this.
I even want to compete
after that.
Hey, don't think of us
as competition.
You never know.
We can both get in.
I know, I know.
I'm not ready. Okay?
You know me.
Mr. Procrastination.
I thought I would just wing it.
Hey, keep it real.
You've got this.
After yours,
I really think I need
a bit more time to practice.
I promise I will knock it
out of the park.
No worries.
Just get started on your essay
so we can send them
in at the same time.
[gentle music playing]
[giggles]
He's such a goof.
[knocking on door]
Come in.
Okay, are you sure you have
the correct shipping address?
-Yep.
-Seahorse Drive. Abaco?
Yep. I already got it covered.
[upbeat percussive music
playing]
Sarah! Sarah!
It's delivered.
[gasps]
Let me check mine.
[gasps] Received!
Oh, fingers crossed, Mikey!
Hey, do you want to
come over after work
and binge some more
Supernatural Activity?
-Yes.
-Great, come on.
-What?
-How about the stripes, though?
I like zebras.
I like zebras.
Okay, fair enough.
Did you ever find out
if this belonged to
a famous fashion designer?
Nah, I never watched
the tapes.
You wanna check it out?
Yeah.
Let's see what's on these.
[chuckling] Alright.
Alright.
[Michael on Video]
Take two!
Three, two, one, and action!
Hello, AIMS family.
My name is Sarah Carlson.
Sarah, I don't know what...
Wait, what? I'm confused.
Did you make a copy?
No, I... I...
I...
I don't know how
the tapes got mixed...
mixed up?
What do you mean
the tapes got mixed up?
[Michael]
I don't know, okay? I...
There were two tapes
that day, okay?
I sent the one
with your name on it.
-I know I did.
-What did we do?
-What did we send them?
-I don't know, okay?
I guess just wait and see
what they say, or...
Maybe we can call
and explain, okay?
I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
Michael,
this is not gonna be fine!
This is my one shot,
and I trusted you to do this.
It was simple!
I should have known
you'd do something like this.
You either procrastinate
to the last second,
or you just do everything
so sloppy.
I always have to go behind you
and re-clean the aquarium.
You never told me that.
[groans]
[melancholy music playing]
[Allen] Hey, you.
You wanna talk?
I told Michael that
I just needed some space.
That...
I just lost the biggest
opportunity of my life.
I felt so stupid.
Hey!
You are not stupid.
By any means.
I know.
But this would have helped me
get my foot into the door
after I graduated from college.
I haven't even started college,
and I already blew it!
Hey, you don't know that.
Your essay was sent in
with whatever was on that tape.
Maybe we could make
another one, overnight it?
No, Dad. It's too late.
The shipping deadline
was tonight.
I just wanted to
make you all so proud.
Hey, look at me.
Your worth is not defined by
your accomplishments, Sarah.
I love you, honey.
Not because of
your achievements,
but because you're you.
You have the courage
to chase your dreams.
That's what defines you.
Your courage and perseverance
are gonna take you
anywhere you wanna go.
Thanks, Dad. I love you.
"Sometimes, courage
is the quiet voice
"at the end of the day saying,
'I will try again tomorrow.'"
I like that quote, Dad.
It's not like it's totally
horrible staying here with you.
It's just that...
I'd like to do
something different.
Something more real,
something bigger.
I wish you guys
could talk to me.
[squeaky voice] Me too!
[low voice] Me too!
Get in here.
[giggling]
[no audible dialogue]
You wanted to see me?
Hey, Sarah.
Have a seat.
There's no easy way to say this.
I can't let you continue
to work here this summer.
Wait... what?
Don't worry.
You didn't do anything wrong.
However, I did receive
an interesting phone call
from a man named Kai Smith
from Abaco Island
Marine Sanctuary.
He called to congratulate me
on my amazing interns.
He said your video was
one of a kind.
Whatever you did,
they were very impressed.
Oh my god. What?
No way. No way!
This isn't some ha-ha
Michael joke, right?
We sent in the wrong tapes.
No, no. It's real.
I'm so happy for you.
-Just promise me something.
-Anything.
Promise me you'll keep
an open mind about your future.
I know you have
your heart set on Orca Park,
but this internship could
guide you to a truer calling
that's a little different.
So be open to it.
I will.
Mom! Dad! I got in!
I got accepted!
Allison! I got accepted!
Mom! Dad! I got accepted!
I got in!
Oh man.
I just lost a bet.
Mom! Dad!
I got in! I got accepted!
What? You got in?
How?
Mom! Can we talk?
Honey, go get the envelope.
[Allen] Okay.
Dad, what are you wearing?
Oh, just preparing
for Halloween.
I couldn't even
imagine my little girl,
who's growing up so fast,
going on a trip alone.
But then I started to
think about how hard you work,
how much you truly care.
You've never been late
to work at the aquarium.
You've never put yourself
in a situation
that you couldn't handle.
You have my blessing.
[laughs]
Oh, thank you.
"With great power
comes great responsibility."
-Uncle Ben?
-[Allen] Ah?
-Voltaire.
-Good.
How about...
Honey, the envelope.
Right, sorry.
I got excited.
[Sarah]
I hope when I get back,
your little pirate leg
will be off.
Me too.
Can't come fast enough.
Yeah, it'd be even better if
it came off before clown camp.
That's if you go to clown camp.
Sarah, we love you.
And I know
you're ready for this.
Your mother and I have decided
that we're going to
invest in you.
It's $2,500.
It's not gonna
cover the whole thing,
but you ask God
to move a mountain,
and he leads you
with the shovel.
Shane Claiborne.
-You dig?
-I dig! Thank you!
Can you believe it?
Sandy said they called us
quick-thinking heroes.
-I know. But how?
-I don't know.
I guess the camera
must have been recording
the whole time
we were helping that puppy.
You're a genius for
sending in the wrong tapes.
No, no, no.
I'm a procrastinator
who does sloppy work.
But that ends today.
Because...
We're going to the Bahamas!
Today,
I'm going to start taking
things into my own hands.
It's game time, little fishies.
Thank you.
[upbeat music playing]
[ka-ching]
[ka-ching]
[ka-chinging]
4,700...
4,800...
4,900...
5,000 dollars!
I'm going to the Bahamas!
[giggles]
[upbeat music playing]
No, look, it's cute, cute.
Oh, I love it.
Ow, it bit my finger!
And I want to
take care of the fish.
You know that birds do tricks?
Yeah, good job!
You're going to get
all the pine nuts now?
Is that what
you're trying to do?
You know, I've been watching
how to care for fish videos
since I was, like, four.
[upbeat music playing]
[Sarah] Oh my gosh, Michael.
Listen to this one.
[Michael]
You're still researching?
[Sarah]
Yeah, still researching.
"The Bahamians gained independence
from Britain
"on July 10, 1973,
ending 325 years
of British rule."
Isn't that wild?
[Michael] That is pretty
interesting, actually.
-That is.
-Right? Look who we are.
Michael, Michael!
Oh my gosh, Michael.
We're here. We made it.
[Michael] Oh my gosh.
[Sarah squeals]
Yes!
I can't believe it.
Oh my gosh,
it is so beautiful.
[Sarah gasps]
Welcome.
Thank you so much for
being a part of this.
My name is Clarence,
one of the main instructors
here on the island.
Born and raised!
Abaco Sanctuary
has been here for over 40 years.
Our mission here is
to rehabilitate these animals,
give them a place to play,
a place to eat,
and a place they can call home.
Abaco Sanctuary is their home.
And we hope that it could be
your home for the next month.
I'm Tommi, and I'm really
excited to meet you all.
The fact that you all flew
in from your home countries
to serve shows your true love
and dedication
for these animals.
In a little bit,
Clarence is going to take you
all out to give you a tour,
but until then,
how about we just start
by introducing ourselves?
So, Catalina,
we can start with you.
Hola, I'm Catalina,
20, from Argentina.
Marine biology has
always been my passion.
I am very excited to be here
and to learn and see how this
opportunity can help
shape my future.
I'm also very excited
to swim with dolphins
and hopefully see
some beautiful things.
I'm Autumn, 18,
from LA, Los Angeles.
Hashtag Autumn in LA.
I was actually here
on this island
for a cruise last year
and had such a good time
that I wanted to come back.
Hi, my name is Sarah Carlson.
I am 18 years old
from Marble Falls, Texas.
Ever since I was a child,
I had a huge fascination
with sea animals.
And I'm super excited to get
some real hands-on
experience with the animals.
Hey, everyone.
I'm Michael. I'm 18 years old.
Texan, born and raised.
And I really like
the ocean because
it's fun to play in the water.
And the fish are really cool,
and they're, like,
really pretty.
And I want to help the oceans
and conservation stuff as well.
And when you guys
rescued that puppy,
that was my favorite
video to watch.
This is my daughter, Arne.
And assistant manager.
She does not work here.
And future marine biologist.
Well, that part is true.
Well, who's ready for the tour?
Me.
Well, let's head over
to the bird sanctuary.
[upbeat music playing]
-How long do they live for?
-They could live for 100 years.
-How old is this little guy?
-He's about six years old.
Aww, he's so cute.
[Clarence] Okay, let's head down
to the dolphin sanctuary.
And this is our
marine sanctuary,
home of hundreds
of species of beautiful fish.
Including some sharks.
Are they dangerous?
[Clarence] Technically,
any shark could be dangerous.
You just have to realize
and understand that this
is their world.
And the ocean
is their ecosystem.
[Tommi] Yes. And you should
never feed them.
Imagine you have a neighbor
who feeds a bunch
of stray dogs every day.
When he decides to stop,
someone's gonna get bit.
[birds chirping, twittering]
And over there,
that is Mr. Kai Smith.
He runs this whole place,
you see?
His family laid the foundation
for the Abaco Island.
He wanted this place to be
a place of smiling faces.
A place that people could come
and learn about the animals.
Let me introduce you
to the dolphins
of Abaco Sanctuary.
Exuma.
-Goombay.
-[dolphin noises]
Eleuthera.
[whistles]
All of the dolphins are rescues.
And as you can see,
they're happy
and they're given the best care
and attention possible.
That dolphin over there,
that's Bimini.
He has been rescued
from a theme park months ago.
We suspected that
he has been abused.
We are hoping that he
warms up to his new home.
[whistles]
-Don't touch--
-Sorry.
-the dolphins.
-Sorry.
Just, we have to wait till
they get warmed up to you
and get comfortable
around you.
Yeah, I'm just really excited
to work with them, that's all.
-Hey. It's okay.
-Yeah.
It's just that we
have to enforce
strict rules on the animals,
you know, to avoid
causing them stress.
Yeah, no, I get it, I get it.
Will we get to swim
with the dolphins?
Most definitely.
Once you guys
done the training,
you will be able to get
in the water
in no time with them.
Is it true dolphins are almost
as smart as humans?
Maybe even smarter
than some.
Dolphins are one
of the smartest mammals
on Earth.
They can form
complex social networks
that they use
to communicate and find food.
Yeah, it's no wonder that we
get along with them so well.
They see us as true friends.
All right, well, I know that
it's been a long day for you all
getting here. Who's hungry?
-I'm hungry.
-[Tommi laughing]
-I'm really, really hungry.
-All right, guys, follow me.
[Sarah] Aw, bye, babies.
Bye, Bimini.
We have crab cakes,
fish fingers and cracked conch,
which is basically fried conch.
What's conch?
Oh, well, it's a staple
for our islands.
It's a sea snail called
Queen Conch.
You can eat it fried,
raw, in a burger.
Basically any way you want.
[easygoing music playing]
Mmm. Guys, this is really,
really good.
Well, here Mikey.
Try some.
You're really gonna like it.
Um...
[Sarah] Well?
I'm just gonna have
some of this salad.
Oh, that's conch salad.
It actually has raw conch
in that one.
Yeah...is there...
any conch in these?
[laughter]
Oh, Mikey.
Will we be seeing
Mr. Smith?
I would really like to thank him
for everything he's done for us.
But, he didn't seem
happy today.
Aww.
It's hard for him to see
the sanctuary doing so poorly.
I mean,
you have to realize that
this place is his baby,
you know?
He built it from
the ground up himself.
And I guess it pains him
to see it suffering financially.
Also, he hasn't
been the same
since his wife died
a couple years ago.
She was right there
by his side,
helping him care
for the animals.
Oh, uh, does he
have any kids?
No. Well, he did
grow up a nephew,
like one.
But he's different.
He is not fond of
the big picture
and the idea that
Mr. Smith has envisioned
for the sanctuary.
Obviously, the land
is extremely sought after.
And Mr. Smith has had offers
to buy it and build on it.
And, well, Niko--
that's the nephew--
he envisions the latter.
Ready for your main course?
[Michael] Main course?
What have we been eating
this whole time?
Okay. We got it.
-Hey!
-Hey, honey, you made it.
How is it?
Oh, I miss y'all guys
so much already.
But it is such
a beautiful place here.
I can't wait to send
some photos.
Have you seen
any dolphins yet?
Yes, it was amazing.
They're so friendly and smart.
-Hello.
-[laughter]
-Okay, get in here, weirdo.
-[fake screaming]
[Allen laughing]
Bring me a big shell.
Okay. I promise I will
if you promise
to feed Finley and Ferb.
Oh, we had to flush
them today.
-What?
-[Christina] Allie!
What? I was just kidding.
You guys can't take a joke.
Anyways, have you had
any food yet?
Yes. Conch.
It's a national Bahamian food.
It's actually super delicious.
Oh, I'll look up some recipes,
and we'll make
a special Bahamian dinner
when you get home.
-That sounds awful.
-Ew.
It's actually super good,
guys. I swear.
Trust.
All right, I love you guys.
Good night.
I have to get to sleep.
We start scuba training
in the morning.
Okay, honey. Be safe.
We love you and miss you.
If you need anything,
please just call us.
Bring me a big shell.
[laughing]
Okay. I promise.
Big shell.
[Nova Chez singing
Bottom of the Sea]
Feel the coconut breeze
It's time to let it go
Time to set me free
Now I'm down below the waves
where I spend my days
All summer, summer, summer
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Underneath the surface
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm here 'til further notice
All day, all week
(All day, all week)
That's where I'll be
(That's where I'll be)
All day, all week
swimming
At the bottom of the sea
That's where I find peace
That's where I found me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Okay, I'll clean the net
at the west gate
and you clean the net
at the south gate.
Okay, yeah. That works.
You nervous at all?
A little bit, so just stay
close by me.
Okay, I will.
Got you.
Okay, can you check me?
I think I'm good to go.
All right, yeah.
Just tighten that.
-You're good.
-Yeah.
[bubbling]
[tense music]
Sarah?
Hey, Sarah.
[music intensifies]
Sarah?
You guys sure
you haven't seen her?
[music intensifies]
[dolphin noises]
[gentle music]
[gentle music playing]
[gasps]
-Sarah!
-[Sarah coughing and gasping]
Sarah, you okay?
Oh, my gosh!
Come on, come on,
come on!
-You okay?
-[Sarah coughing and gasping]
Okay, ready? Ready?
What happened?
What happened?
What happened?
You okay?
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my foot
got stuck in the net.
And my goggles came off
and I couldn't breathe.
Hey, take it easy.
Take it easy.
Take a breath.
Take a breath.
And then Bimini, he came up
and then he grabbed me
and then he saved me.
All right.
It's all right.
Just take it easy,
take it easy.
Bimini!
Bimini, you saved
my life!
My guardian angel.
It's okay, it's okay,
it's okay, it's okay.
Okay.
Hey...
Just breathe, okay?
Just breathe.
Just breathe.
[Sarah breathing shakily]
All right.
[Michael sighing]
[birds chirping, twittering]
Man, I wish I could be
a dolphin for just a day.
Like one of those movies
where you wake up
and switch bodies
with someone else.
And you'd probably
be eaten by a giant whale.
Huh, yeah, probably.
-Yes. Very much.
-Thank you.
-Thank you so much.
-No problem.
All right, guys,
it's feeding time!
[dolphin noises]
Hi!
You want one?
Oh, wow!
-That was good.
-[dolphin noises]
Oh, hello.
Hi, I'm Sarah.
-You rescued me, Bimini.
-[dolphin noises]
Good boy.
You're my guardian dolphin.
My angel.
I'm okay.
Oh, hey.
Oh, hello.
As I live and breathe.
Looks like Bimini has found
himself a friend. Wow.
-Well Muddo!
-Mr. Kai, you see this?
I know.
Nobody could approach
this big boy.
I mean, he wasn't eating.
He wasn't socializing.
Oh, my God, look at this.
Now, look at this.
He's eating out
of the palm of her hands.
-Yes.
-These interns...
They have brought
new life
-into this whole marina.
-Yes.
It's okay.
Oh, there he is. Hello.
[Michael] I could honestly
be under there all day.
It was so amazing.
And the ecosystem that
they've created for themselves,
it's almost impossible
to process.
Do you think you could do this
as a future career?
I don't know. This doesn't
even feel like a job to me.
I always thought that jobs
weren't supposed to be fun,
but this definitely is
and it just feels right.
What about you?
I might sound crazy,
but I don't think I want
to go to Orca Park anymore.
That's it. You have
lost it, all right.
Time to send her home,
everybody. She's crazy.
No, I'm serious.
I think I want to focus
more on conservation,
on helping and healing
and nurturing the animals
back to safety.
And just being here...
I mean, I know I can
make a difference,
and that's exactly
what I want.
[light, troubling music playing]
How are you doing, man?
How's my favorite uncle?
I got you some hot fritters.
How are you doing, man?
Great.
Everything is great, Niko.
Everything is great.
-Mm-hmm.
-We have some new interns.
And the animals are finally
getting the care
that they needed.
Mmm.
Niko, we have some
great plans for this place.
Imagine opening up
the sanctuary
as a tourist attraction.
Then they can
come and enjoy
-all the beauty of our home.
-Unc. Unc, unc,
unc, unc, unc,
unc, unc, unc.
I keep telling you, man,
you need to let go
of this foolish little dream
of this, this, fish paradise.
Listen, this land
is worth millions.
It's not
a foolish dream, Niko.
-[Niko] Millions, Uncle.
-It's not a foolish dream.
And money is not the only thing
that bring a man happiness.
Hey, it's Autumn in L.A..
We're currently having
a little beach day.
We're going to go
swim with some fish
and see for-ooh!
The supermodel's now
a drowned rat. [laughing]
That's what waterproof
makeup is for.
[Catarina] You're as shallow
as this water.
[upbeat tropical music playing]
We're here at the Fish Fry,
waiting on our food.
-Are you excited to try it?
-Yes, I'm really excited.
Are you excited?
Do you really have to
film everything?
Yeah.
This is how I make a living.
[Sarah laughs]
And I look good doing it.
[talking and laughing
over each other]
-What's going on?
-Dad?
What happened?
[Clarence sighing]
It's Mr. Kai.
He said he wasn't feeling well
and that he was feeling ill.
And he just collapsed.
Fell right in front of me.
Oh my goodness.
Is he okay?
[Clarence]
Honestly, I have no idea.
But the only thing
we can do is
keep him in prayer.
That's the best
we could do at this point.
-Oh, it's gonna be okay.
-It's gonna be fine.
[Arne cries]
[somber music]
Kai Smith, he got so
sick all of a sudden.
I mean, he was
so fine yesterday.
I just don't understand.
I mean, I just
feel like I'm in shock.
He cares so much
about this place, and you.
[dolphin noises]
He has so many dreams
for this sanctuary.
And I really hope he gets
to see them all come true.
[dolphin noises]
How they treating you
in here, Unc?
Mmm.
Mmm mmm.
Look at my uncle, eh.
You give your whole being,
your whole self to that place.
Now you laying here
with nothing to show for it.
Don't worry, Unc.
I got you. Okay?
I can make sure
nothing happens
to our dreams.
Now, the sanctuary
has been left unattended.
We can't afford
for that now.
So what I have here
is some documents.
This is a power of attorney.
What this is gonna do
is gonna let me
make decisions
in your stead.
Unc, all you gotta do
is sign this,
and I will make us
very rich.
All our dreams
will come true.
-Hey.
-Hey.
[Others]
Hey.
Hey, guys.
We just got a card
for Mr. Smith.
I want everyone to sign it.
Say something nice.
Now, I know this has been
so hard for everyone,
but I promise--
I promise we are gonna
make up for this.
And we are going to do
our training
in the water tomorrow.
What will we be doing?
Well, Kai always dreamed
that the sanctuary
not only be a place
for dolphins to be cared for,
but one where people
can come and learn
about the animals and...
and see them in
their natural environment.
We want to train
these dolphins to work
and play together
to become a pod.
How exactly do we go about
training the dolphins?
With repetition
and consistency.
[Michael] Um...
What if the dolphins
don't follow behaviors?
[Clarence] They don't
always follow.
Reinforce what you want
and ignore what you don't.
Oh. All right,
who's ready for...
conch in a blanket?
[laughing]
I'm just kidding.
It's pizza.
[laughter]
Oh, okay, yeah.
Now this is what
I'm talking about.
Oh, this feels like
it's been years.
Here you go, girls.
Dig in.
[Girls] Thank you.
Michael, would you call
yourself a spoiled American?
Um...
Sorry, I... I don't
mean disrespect.
I was just curious.
Oh, no. It's okay.
I mean, us Americans
are spoiled.
I mean, we have
first world problems,
such as our Wi-Fi
is running slow
and our videos can't load,
you know?
Yeah,
I never really thought
about it like that,
but I guess I am.
I mean, we're pretty spoiled.
Yeah.
In my home,
we eat what we are served.
And if we don't eat,
we go to bed hungry.
Sad part is, the poor people
don't eat at all.
We see the United States,
and it feels like
everyone has everything.
That's not true at all.
We have family in Florida
and they don't have everything.
It's just social media.
Do people take pictures
of themselves
when they first wake up?
When they're stressed
or sick? No.
They only take pictures
of themselves when they're
having fun on vacation
and they look nice.
Or they have filters on
doing the duck face.
[laughter]
It's ironic
that you all say this
because the truth is,
I live in a fake reality.
I'm really not who I pretend
to be on my social media at all.
My family's actually
really poor,
but I go to
Beverly Hills High School
because my grandparents live
in the district.
I just feel like
I have to act like them or
nobody would be my friend.
I live with
my grandparents too,
and my parents and cousins.
There's like 15 people
living in my house.
It's probably
why I'm not spoiled.
I'm used to
sharing everything.
This internship
is the first thing
that I've done that is
really just for myself.
Same.
This internship is
the first thing
I've done that
I really care about.
Everyone thinks I'm
this fabulous influencer.
I can't let them know
I'm really just a fish nerd.
[laughter]
That's actually why
I haven't been posting
about the sanctuary.
Because all my
friends back home
think I'm on some
fancy vacation.
Well, I hope you can
find a way
to be true to yourself
on social media.
But either way, applying
for this internship
and caring for these
animals...it's real.
Whether you post
about it or not.
It's not fake and it's not easy.
You should be proud
of yourself.
We all should.
Cheers to that.
[laughing]
[Others] Cheers.
To fish nerds.
[overlapping talking
and laughing]
All right, everyone,
this is where we start
kicking people off the island.
[insects buzzing,
birds chirping]
[laughing] Just kidding.
This is where the fun begins.
[upbeat music playing]
[indistinct chatter
and laughter]
[upbeat music continues]
Arms out...
like you're flying.
Arms out.
They're getting ready to push.
They're getting ready
to push you.
[laughter]
[Clarence] Arms out.
Whoo! That's it right there!
Get ready. They're getting
ready to take you for a ride.
[laughing]
That's it. That's it.
You got it. Whoo!
You got it. Spin it.
Yes, yes, yes.
[dolphin noises]
[upbeat music continues]
Can he hear us?
Even in a coma,
he may.
Your presence matters.
Okay, come in guys.
Hi, Kai.
We brought the gang
down to see you.
We've been holding the fort
until you get home.
You all want to share
with Mr. Kai
what you all did today?
It was amazing.
I was working with Goombay
and at first
he didn't seem
to be listening at all.
But then it was like we clicked
and he followed
every command I gave him
without hesitation.
And I think I saw
a leopard shark
while I was cleaning
the gate.
-Those were needle fish.
-[laughter]
It was incredible
learning how to give
commands to the dolphins.
And you'd be so proud
of Bimini.
He's so smart and he's learning
so many tricks.
I'm just so happy
that you rescued him
from a place that was
being really cruel.
You'd be so happy with
how well he's been doing.
Wish you could see him.
[Arne] You had to shut
my dad down like this.
Yeah, this has to be illegal.
-Interns.
-Now listen here, sweet girl.
I know that's hard for
you all to understand,
but my uncle has given me
power of attorney,
and I am executing it thusly.
Niko, why are you doing this?
You know what this island
means to your uncle.
What this sanctuary
means to us.
Oh, what about all the animals?
This is their home!
Listen, I'm sure
the tuna cannery
is looking for filler.
Those animals belong
to me now.
And I will be deciding
what to do with them.
You understand me,
young lady?
They don't belong to you!
Arne, respect your elders.
How can she when he's done
nothing to deserve respect.
You know what ?
You all come out my office
before I call the police
on you all because I had
just about enough
of this maligning
and I will take it
no further.
No. Niko...
you have always been
a sniveling little rat
trying to take the easy way
to chew through
anything and everything.
But you are not going to
chew through me.
If you take one step deeper
onto the sanctuary,
you are gonna be living in
a different type of sanctuary.
-Mm-hmm.
-One where they suck
food through straws.
Savvy?
You almost permed
my mustache.
Listen, y'all get out
my office. Hear?
I am gonna give you
all some mercy.
One week...
from noon today
to get out of my property
and take all your
things with you, okay?
[Arne] One week. Huh?
You call that mercy?
It's about as much mercy
as I give to you, young lady.
[Arne] [clicking tongue]
Let's go.
[stamping foot]
Oh, yeah.
You go ahead, big man.
Hmm.
Yucking up my vexation.
[birds chirping,
twittering]
I know this is
a tough pill to swallow,
but there is nothing
that we could do.
Niko, he owns
this place now.
It's out of our hands.
The sanctuary will be closed
at the end of the week.
I'm really sorry, but...
your services are done
by the end of the day.
All right, well,
we have a whole week left here.
What are we gonna do now?
Well, I guess you can go out
and enjoy the island
for the time you have left.
No. We didn't come
here for a vacation.
We came here to
serve the sanctuary.
Yeah. There has to be
something that we can do.
I think Niko's hiding something.
Of course he is.
I say we find out
what that is
and then we broadcast
it to the world.
Let's take him down.
My toe is still bruised.
No. No. Interns...
we have to respect
Mr. Smith's wishes.
All right, but do you really
think this is what he wants?
Again,
this is out of our hands.
I mean,
I'm so sorry, but it's
so nice meeting you all.
This place means
so much to us.
It really does.
There's nothing else
for us to do.
There's only one thing
I could say is
-you guys are dismissed.
-But, Dad!
This is for Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith devoted
his life to this place.
And we all know that
he didn't want Niko to sell it.
We can't just walk away.
We still have a week left.
We can still do something.
No. And before you hush me,
Alexander Hamilton once said,
"Stand for something
or you will fall for anything."
Sarah...
I love your drive,
but we're helpless
to do anything.
The law is the law.
And if the paperwork says that
the sanctuary belongs to Niko,
then that's that.
They will evict us
either way.
We can show the world
what the sanctuary has
with our beautiful animals.
We can throw a big show,
a going away party.
We can plan it and
we can promote it like crazy.
It'll be so much fun.
Even if nothing comes out of it,
we'll still be honoring
Mr. Smith.
Even if it's just for
a brief moment.
Sarah, I-I admire
what you're trying to do,
but the timing
-just does not work.
-Why not?
Dad, come on, you know
how much Mr. Smith
wanted to put on a show.
[Clarence] A show?
To honor Mr. Kai!
Yes, we can dedicate
this show to his legacy.
[Sarah] Yeah, we can promote
this for the whole world
to discover what we have here.
I'll draw up some
quick and easy fliers
and we can spread the word.
Where shall we go?
Need to find
some kind of touristy place.
Okay. Let's see.
Touristy.
I got it, I got it.
Follow me.
[pulsing upbeat music playing]
Here you go.
Well, I guess advertising isn't
our strong suit physically.
Clearly.
Well, at least
we still have social media.
I do have a lot
of followers.
You do.
Let's use them. Yeah?
Yeah.
Hey, it's Autumn in L.A.
Um...
I just wanted to hop
on here to talk to you guys
about something that's been
weighing pretty heavily
on my heart.
So...
I am not here
for vacation.
I actually got accepted
to do an internship
at the Abaco Island
Marine Sanctuary.
I'm really excited
about it.
And it's going to be
a little bit of
different kind of content
than you're used to, but
I really hope you can support
me through this journey.
And I'm going to be
doing a live stream
of a dolphin show
we're putting on.
So, I really hope
to see you guys there.
[upbeat music playing]
[dolphin noises]
One.
I mean, it's cute.
-I like it.
-I like it.
Okay, well...
do we even know how to put
together a live dolphin show?
Well, I never did one before.
But I know someone who did.
-Who?
-Mr. Francis.
Man. Not Francis.
Imagine a pirate that smells
like dead shrimp
and rum.
He's an amazing choreographer.
He choreographer
dolphins, whales
for theme parks
all over the world.
But he up and quit.
And now he's living
out to sea.
[gasps] Like a beach house?
[Arne] Mmm.
-No.
-A houseboat?
Not quite.
Well, if he's as good as
you say he is,
-can we go?
-I want to go.
Can we go now?
[Clarence] Sure.
[squealing]
-Okay.
-Yeah.
This is not what
I was expecting.
Yeah. This does not look safe.
It's gonna be safe.
Leave it up for Francis
for living in a
dump like this.
-Francis!
-We should go.
Yeah. Let's go
back to the car.
-Okay.
-Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Wha-
What is that?
Is that a person?
I don't know. I don't know.
Step back.
Ugh. Ew. Okay.
-Oh. Plan B. Run!
-Okay.
Francis!
There you are.
Man, get out of this
water now.
We need some help
training these dolphins.
[Francis grunts, struggles]
There he is.
What do you want?
We need you to help us
put on a show.
I watched your videos
from back in the day,
and you have
choreographed absolutely
spectacular dolphin shows.
We just want you to do
the same thing for us.
-Choreograph a routine.
-Mm-mm.
-Quick and easy.
-No. Uh-uh.
I don't have time for this.
You guys need
to get out of here.
Listen, this show is
going to be spectacular,
but we can't do it
without you.
Don't you think that
should be cooked?
[Francis] What are you,
the health inspector now?
These girls?
They didn't come here
just to smell this garbage.
We need you.
Can't you see I'm--
Look at this. Look at--
Look at my 1955 Stellar.
-It's a classic.
-Francis, this is not a boat.
-This is a dump.
-That's it!
Get off my boat right now!
Get out!
Kai Smith is dying.
He's in the hospital.
-[Francis] What?
-He's really, really sick.
We were gonna honor
him with the show.
It's our last sendoff.
Kai Smith...
he gave me the money
to buy this boat.
I owe that man a lot.
I-I owe him...
Changed my life.
Yeah, yeah.
I-I'll...
I'll give you a hand.
For Kai.
[Francis] For Kai.
[Clarence]
All right, now let's go.
Get off this boat.
It smells.
[Francis]
Quit insulting my boat.
All right!
Ahh, let's get this
party started, huh?
Wow. He really does smell
like dead shrimp and rum.
I know, I might look like a...
a homeless pirate that hasn't
showered in a few days,
and, uh,
probably is not the best thing,
but let me tell you something.
I used to be a big deal.
All right?
So whatever you do,
don't go treating me like, uh,
Johnny Depp when he's not
in his wardrobe for Pirates.
Now we need a theme.
We need, uh, uh, some sort of,
some sort of, uh,
an idea for the show.
Um. I'm thinking something
about freedom.
[Francis] Absolutely not.
We should go all out.
Picture this:
Swag bags. Ice sculptures.
I don't think we have
the budget for that.
Well, it was Mr. Smith's dream
for the show to happen,
for the people to discover
what the dolphins have to offer.
Maybe we just go
with what the flyer says.
Dolphin discovery
Dolphin...
discovery.
I like that. That has
a good ring to it.
Yeah.
All right.
All we need now is
some inspiration.
Let's get it on. Kick the tires
and light the fires.
Dude. What?
What is that thing?
What are you talking about?
-How old are you?
-I mean, how old are you?
I've never seen that.
We're in the--
we're in the 21st century, dude.
Whatever. All right.
Let's get some inspiration.
[Nova Chez singing
Chasing Daylight]
Definitely wishes
are falling to place
When life gives you lemons,
they don't make lemonade
Everything I want
is all mine to take
Living up
to my expectations
Soaking in
all the high vibrations
Always knew
I was meant for greatness
Glowing up
Ready to embrace it
Chasing daylight
Take me to where
the sun still shines
Leave them be right
All of the things
that dim my light
[giggling] Hey y'all.
Come over here.
Check this out.
Look.
We just need to add
a donation link,
and then I'm certain that
this video can go viral.
And then we can buy
the land from Niko.
And then we can keep
his vision alive.
Niko has the papers
already signed.
He's up to something,
and there's no way around it.
Money isn't gonna save it.
I mean, I don't know
Niko very well,
but with the expensive shoes
he was wearing,
I can tell money
talks with that guy.
If we can raise it,
he'll take it.
Yeah, we just need to shoot
a promo video to advertise
the time and date.
I mean, this video
can go viral
with just a short and sweet
20 to 30-second clips
put together.
[Catalina] I'll call
the TV station to come out.
-[Sarah] Yeah!
-[Michael] Perfect.
We'll have the social media
thing down.
Let's make it go viral.
[chuckling]
-We can totally do this.
-Yeah.
-Hey, all.
-Yeah, what's up?
So my little sister really wants
a really pretty seashell.
Do you all have any idea
where I can possibly find one?
-Uh, the sea?
-Well, no duh.
I love long walks
on the beach.
Can I help?
Ooh, yeah. It'll be fun.
Little beach day.
-Yeah.
-Great. Perfect. Let's do it.
[Catalina] Sounds good.
Francis said that
the best conch shells
were around
this area right here.
I'm not sure how much
that map is gonna help,
but I'm guessing if
we want to really find anything,
we're gonna have to go
a little bit deeper out there.
I'm on it.
[Michael] Okay, that was easy.
-[Sarah] Oh, get it girl.
-[Autumn laughs]
Thank you, thank you.
[Catalina] You got it!
So I'll go this way
and you go that way.
-Okay
-Let's divide and conquer.
-[chuckling] Get it?
-[laughter]
Conch-er? [laughing]
[Michael] I can't believe
how beautiful it is here.
-[Catalina] [laughing]
-The water's so clear.
I know.
Worth eating conch
for every meal?
-Almost.
-[laughter]
-Oh.
-Hey, hey, look at this!
I think...
I got something here!
[Catalina] Oh no, no, no!
[laughing]
Look at this.
-What size do you think it is?
-No.
You're going
to get sea fleas. [laughing]
-What? Sea fleas?
-[laughing] Yeah.
Ow.
What happened?
I don't know.
Come and see.
I think I hit something.
Oh-ho!
[laughing]
Look at that!
Oh, wow!
-[Catalina] Sarah!
-[Michael] Hey, Sarah!
Sarah, look at this!
For your sister!
So pretty!
Oh, she's gonna love it!
Guys, what are you
doing out here?
This is Tiger Beach!
-As in tiger sharks?
-Yes!
[ominous music playing]
Oh, my gosh. Autumn!
[ominous music playing]
-[Michael] Autumn!
-[Catalina] Autumn!
Sharks!
-[Michael] Autumn, come on!
-[Autumn] Where'd it go?
[Sarah] Get in now! Swim
in! Swim faster!
Autumn, hurry!
Swim faster!
Oh my gosh! Autumn!
[overlapping yelling]
Hurry up!
Shark! Hurry up!
Get out! Get out!
[overlapping yelling]
-You okay?
-Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Where's the shark?
-You didn't notice it?
-No.
Oh my gosh!
Well, leave it to Francis
to almost get you guys killed.
The stupid pirate.
I was almost dinner.
At least we got the
shell. [laughing]
I guess it was
worth it, then?
Are you all kidding me?
-[Catalina] Oh.
-[Michael] Oh.
[overlapping laughter]
That would've been easier.
[laughter]
Way.
Well, hey. You wouldn't have
gotten this nifty shell holder
to go with it.
Michael, something
is seriously wrong with you.
[laughter]
Hello, everyone.
This is Sarah
from the Abaco Island
Marine Sanctuary.
And we welcome you
to join us this Saturday
to watch The Dolphin Discovery.
We hope you'll join us
as we say our final farewell
to the sanctuary.
Showtime starts at
12 p.m. island time.
You don't want to miss it.
Hi, now. Hi, baby girl.
[dolphin noises]
[birds chirping
and twittering]
Bimini.
Come out, Bimini.
Bimini?
Come here, Bimini.
Bimini, come here.
Bimini, where are you?
Come here.
Bimini.
Bimini, come here.
Bimini?
Bimini?
Bimini?
Bimini!
Come up, Bimini.
Hey, have you guys seen
Bimini anywhere?
He's not here?
No!
-How?
-What?
I don't know where he is.
Do we need to check
the enclosures?
We don't need to.
They're designed to keep
things out, not in.
Okay.
Let's get everybody on this.
[sighing] Okay.
Have you all seen Bimini?
Did you see him
this morning?
No.
When was the last time
you saw him?
Ooh, last night
after rehearsals.
Ooh, we need to split up
and search the sanctuary.
Sarah, my dad said
he'll take you on his boat.
Let's go.
So, how was...
How's Bimini been acting?
How is his behavior?
I mean, to you?
I mean, nothing seemed off.
He seemed to like
what we've been doing.
Maybe...
Maybe this has been
too much for him.
You know? Like...
all of this,
what's been happening,
was just a little bit
too much.
Do you think he'll come back?
Well, I hope he does.
He cannot survive in the wild,
especially alone.
Has any other dolphin
done this before?
Not since I was here.
You know what?
No dolphin has
ever left the sanctuary.
I don't know, it just
doesn't feel right.
Something seems off.
Well, let's keep looking, and...
maybe we'll find him.
Bimini!
Bimini!
Bimini!
Bimini!
[sad music playing]
What are you
all doing?
We came to check
on you.
You feeling all right?
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's just that me and Bimini
got so close,
and now he's just gone.
Yeah. Hey.
You really shouldn't be
out too late, okay?
We have a big day tomorrow.
Lots to do.
Without this dolphin,
we have no show.
I just want to know
if he's okay.
I'm sure he's out there
eating conch.
And he'll be back
right now, okay?
Have some hope.
I hope so.
We got this far.
We've got to finish.
[stomach growls]
Sorry. [laughing]
-I'm really hungry.
-Me, too.
Found this place that makes
this amazing cracked conch.
I've decided to embrace it.
Good for you, Michael.
-Thank you.
-[laughter]
Thank you.
Yeah, I guess I'm kind
of hungry, too.
I could eat.
[Niko] Mm-hmm. Come on...
-Shh.
-[Niko] Mm-hmm.
But that doesn't answer
my question now, does it?
Mm-mm.
Now listen here.
You got right in front of you
a once in a lifetime
opportunity, my friend.
Pick him up?
Sir, these are the rarest and
largest fish in the ocean, okay?
They're not
a pack of natural light.
I can't just chuck them
in the trunk.
If I deliver him, that's extra.
Round the back of this
Prickly Crabs.
Right in the canal.
Just like the last time.
Niko sold Bimini.
We have to go get him.
-Now?
-How?
It's not too far from here.
I've been on the road.
It's just in the canals.
We just have to figure out
which house it is on the water.
We can take Clarence's boat
to go save him.
-Let's get some scuba gear.
-Good idea.
I don't know, guys.
I really think we should
tell Clarence
or the authorities or somebody.
These could be bad people.
[Arne] Who could be
bad people?
Niko. He sold Bimini,
but I know where he's at.
We're taking the boat.
Are you going to tell
your dad?
Of course not.
We have to save Bimini.
Don't do that.
You'll tell him yourself
if you start that engine.
Come on.
I'll tow you from the dock.
I can take you
into the canal.
You're brilliant.
I know.
All right, so
if we go down this canal
and take a left
on the right
is Prickly Crabs Road.
And those are the two
biggest docks.
And I'm willing to bet
it's either one of those two.
It's too much for you
to pull.
I can push from behind.
Swim team. Beverly Hills High.
Third place in State Freestyle.
Okay, so you can do
this yourself.
I'm-I'm kidding!
-[chuckles]
-[Arne] I'm kidding.
All right, I'm in.
We're a team.
If we get eaten by something
or sucked into
the Bermuda Triangle,
just remember I told you so.
Thanks for your support
and optimism.
All right, let's go.
[tense music playing]
It says that he should be
around here somewhere.
Does anybody see anything?
No, nothing.
There's a fence over here.
It looks like it was just built.
Oh, Lord Jesus,
please, please, please
bring me back Bimini.
-In Jesus name, we pray.
-There he is!
Oh! Bimini!
Sarah.
Sarah, wait.
What are you doing?
Oh, come on, please.
Remember the buddy system?
Please. Sarah.
Oh, my gosh.
Remember last time?
[splash]
[dolphin noises]
Hey hey hey hey,
what are you doing?
Um...
nothing.
We were just d-d-doing
some night fishing,
So where your
fishing boats?
Really funny you
should ask that. Um...
because my friend
Catalina, here,
uh...
was fishing, and
and while she was fishing,
she felt a really
hard pull. Um...
but not like a normal
hard pull.
Like, like an unusually
hard pull.
So...we're...
waiting for whatever took
the pole to resurface.
And get the pole.
[spirited music]
And that's when
the great white shark flew up
and ate the pole, entirely.
Go! Go! Go! Grab this! Go!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Wait!
[engine revving]
Oh, my gosh!
Oh, there they are!
[Both] They're celebrating.
Oh, my gosh. Same time.
-Basically same time.
-[laughter]
[dolphin noises]
-[dolphin noises]
-Aww.
-He's so cute.
-They're so adorable together.
-Aww.
-Oh, I'm so happy that
they're all getting along.
I know. I'm glad he's back.
-Me too. Thank you.
-Yeah, of course.
[laughing]
[dolphin noises]
Aww. Bimini!
[overlapping laughing]
Hi, Bimini.
Oh, they miss you almost
as much as I did.
Like Tommi said,
they're bonding.
-Becoming a pod.
-Yes.
-Like all of us.
-Yes.
We were a great team tonight.
And we didn't end up lost
in the Bermuda Triangle.
[overlapping laughter]
Felt like it with your story.
Yeah, that was some
great stalling, Michael.
-Thank you, thank you.
-Yeah.
-I try. I really do.
-Yeah.
I'm so happy you're okay.
I promise I won't let anybody
take you ever again.
-Okay?
-[dolphin noises]
Anybody hungry?
Because
I want some cracked conch.
-[Michael] I'm hungry.
-[Catalina] Oh, gosh, yes.
Come on.
-Let's go [laughing]
-[Michael] Come on.
Goodbye. Bimini.
I'll see you tomorrow.
[laughing]
Well, stay out of trouble.
[dolphin noises]
-You can try it.
-I'm really hungry.
-It's just--
-[Waiter] Enjoy.
-Thank you.
-Thank you so much!
Hey, guys. Dinner's ready.
Oh, I hope this is delish.
I am starving.
Oh, you can say
that again.
I hope this is delish.
I'm starving.
[laughter]
Aww. I can't believe this
is coming to an end.
[Sarah] I know.
Everything we went
through to get here,
everything we learned.
[Catalina] And new friendships.
[overlapping aww]
-We better keep in touch.
-[Michael] Yes. Absolutely.
[Autumn] Not like every other
summer camp
where we say we will,
but never do.
No, we definitely will.
We're like family now.
We're like a dolphin pod.
[overlapping laughter]
[Autumn] That's so cute.
[Michael] Except while
we're eating this.
[forks hitting plates]
[Michael] Mmm.
[Clarence] Sarah! Sarah!
Bimini's back! Ha-hah!
Really?
I told you he had to
have been on a date.
Yeah, that definitely
had to be it.
[nervous chuckle]
[dolphin noises]
[gentle music]
[squealing, laughter]
[Christina] Wow. I can't
believe that.
-[Christina] That is amazing.
-[Allen] Awesome.
The dolphins here
are super duper smart.
We're even hosting a little
show this Saturday.
Oh, that's so cool. Will
someone be recording it?
Yeah, it's gonna be
streaming live.
Mom, I want to go.
Well, maybe we can
all take a family vacation
-down there sometime.
-Yeah.
-That'll be fun.
-Mmm.
You just got back
from Clown Camp.
Well, that's not the same.
Clown Camp?
You don't get
to sleep over.
-[chuckling]
-You're too young, sweetie.
-A little bit.
-Mmm.
So was this the time
of your life or what?
Yes. This is more than
I could have ever imagined.
I mean, I'm certain this is
exactly what I want to do
for the rest of my life.
I am so glad, honey.
Get back to those dolphins
and good luck on your show.
Thanks. I love you all.
-And we'll be watching.
-Love you.
Remember. My seashell.
-I have it right here.
-Show me.
Mmm. Soon.
Super, super soon.
I swear.
-Mmm...Finley...Ferb.
-Easy, creep. [chuckling]
Hey, it's Autumn in Abaco.
Get it?
We have 24 more hours
until the show.
And 24 more hours
until the sanctuary
is shut down for good.
With your donations,
you can help these dolphins
keep their home and keep
them safe and super healthy.
Yeah. Donation link
is down below.
It would mean
the absolute world.
-Hashtag...
-[Both] Save the sanctuary!
All right, guys.
Listen, I am so proud
of you guys.
Even though things
didn't look good,
you guys still pushed through
and did an amazing job.
Listen, even if only
one person show up tomorrow,
we know that you did
your very best
And Mr. Kai would be
so proud.
He'd be so proud,
he'll cry for joy.
You all pushed through,
even when I was being
so stubborn.
You will all give
this place
a beautiful farewell
party tomorrow.
Yes.
Thank you so much.
[soft music playing]
They're splashing us.
-[laughing]
-[indistinct chatter]
Hey, Sarah. We're going
downtown to enjoy
our last night here.
You want to come?
Oh, I would love to, but,
I really want to go back home
and study my calls and cues
for tomorrow.
-Oh, come on, please.
-Come on.
Don't be a party pooper.
This is our last night here.
We have to celebrate.
Thank y'all.
But I just want to be
extra prepared.
-All right.
-Okay, we'll miss you.
Go have fun, though.
Okay, bye. See you all
tomorrow, bright and early.
Yup. Bright and early.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
[somber music playing]
Mr. Smith...
I don't know if
you can hear me,
but I really do want
to say thank you.
I mean, coming here
has been
the best summer
of my whole entire life.
You've opened up my eyes
to a whole new world.
And I've learned so much
about what I love
this past month.
Tomorrow...
What I really wanted
to tell you about
is that tomorrow...
part of your dreams
will come true.
Even if it's just
for a brief moment.
I know you'll be there
in spirit.
"We can do all things
through Christ,
who gives us strength."
Philippians 4:13.
[gentle music]
You need this more
than me right now.
I promise to help put on
the best show
in your honor...
...with everything
you've ever envisioned.
Rest well, tonight.
[sighing]
[sighing]
[gentle music]
We'll make you
very proud tomorrow.
I know we will.
[upbeat music playing]
[Niko] Excuse me.
Everybody,
but I think I was very clear
when I asked you all
to get your things
and belongings
and be out by today.
What?
Now, Clarence, I know you're
hard of hearing,
so I'll repeat it
for you, okay?
I gave you a week.
A week until noon today
to get everything up out of here
and to leave.
And it is exactly 11:59
and 37 seconds.
So please...
Come on, man, we worked
so hard to pull this show off.
At least give us until
the end of the day.
Listen, listen, listen.
Young lady,
I know it doesn't
seem that way,
but I've been nothing
but patient
with all of you, okay?
Now, nobody called me
to ask me to use my dock,
to use my property,
or to use my dolphins.
So, what I'd like for you
all to do is to please
gather your things
and extricate the property.
-Thank you very much.
-Let's just go.
Sure.
Oops. Sorry.
[birds chirping,
twittering]
Oh, what about your uncle?
Excuse me, young lady,
who are you?
And what do you know
about my uncle?
Well, I do know that
he had a dream for this place.
To let the people see
what these amazing dolphins
can do.
I mean, you at least owe
it to him to let this happen.
Actually, you know what?
Yeah.
Yeah, you may have
inspired me.
Yes, yes.
You all come together
and do your little show,
and I'll just go up here
and watch you bomb.
All right, team.
Ignore him.
Let's go out there
and finish strong.
This is our big show.
Make it count.
Hey, Francis, if
you're a pirate,
why didn't you make him
walk the plank?
I'm not a pirate.
I'm a choreographer.
Get it right. Come on.
Listen, I don't care who don't
show up in here today.
You perform
as if you're performing
in front of a stadium
full of people.
You got it? Hands in.
Dolphin pod
on 1, 2, 3.
-1, 2, 3.
-[Everyone] Dolphin pod!
Whoo!

[cheers and applause]
Bravo! Bravo!
You made it! You made it!
You made it!
[overlapping chatter]
The doctors said
it was a miracle
that I actually woke up.
And I'm here against
all doctor's orders.
[laughing]
I couldn't be more thrilled.
And I heard you
last night, Sarah.
I wouldn't miss this
for the world.
All of this is owed
to Sarah.
She had a brilliant plan
to save the sanctuary so that
it didn't have to be shut down.
Sanctuary shut down?
Shut down?
Oh. [clearing throat]
Uncle Kai man, look at you.
You better! You alive, uncle!
Betrayed...
by my own nephew.
Oh, what?
Oh, you having
a stroke, man.
You don't know what's
going on right now man.
I can tell you
what's going on.
Those conch fritters
you were serving me
for the past three weeks.
That's what's going on.
After our meeting last week,
I had them analyzed.
And every last one
was found to be poisoned.
That's what I'm talking about.
It's a good thing
there was conch
in those fritters.
Because conch absorbs
the poison.
And it-that's what help
keep the sea clean.
But you.
Place your arms
behind your back.
No, no, no.
Unc. Unc.
Unc! No!
No, you ain't gonna let them
do this to me.
[Officer] Whatever you say
will be written down
and taken as evidence.
What you arresting me for?
What you arresting me for?
No no no no no no no no no.
Uncle Kai, you can't let them
do this to me now.
No, I is your, I is your
nephew, sir.
I is your nephew, Uncle Kai!
Let go of me, man.
I guess salt water
is thicker than blood.
-[Niko continues yelling]
-Terrible.
Mr. Smith, look at all
these donations.
Well, Mr. Smith, I guess your
pre-pandemic plan
is back on the table.
What sayeth you?
I'd say let's get started!
[overlapping cheers
and clapping]
[Michael] This is it.
I know I've learned so much
from all of y'all this summer.
Me too. Gonna miss you guys
almost as much
as the dolphins.
[laughter]
Can't believe we're gonna go
start our lives now.
We gotta keep in touch.
We're like family now.
-Give me a hug.
-I'm gonna see you at home!
I know. I know.
Aw, I'm gonna miss you
so much.
Gonna miss you.
-I love you.
-I love you.
Okay, so, guys,
go pack up the SUV.
I'm gonna go and say goodbye
to Bimini one last time
before I leave.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Bye.
[kissing sound]
[Kai] Sarah.
-Oh, hi, Mr. Smith.
-Hi.
So how much longer
do you have in school?
Oh, well, I haven't started yet,
so about four years.
What are you planning
to study?
Marine biology.
Wow, that's a good choice.
You were born for this
type of work.
Oh, thank you so much.
I mean, after this summer,
I cannot possibly
imagine me doing
absolutely anything else.
At the aquarium
that I intern for,
we rescue a lot of the animals
from other parks and
irresponsible private owners.
I mean, I've always known that
I wanted to work
with fish and dolphins, but,
now I know that
I want to be just like you.
I really want to rescue and care
for the other animals
just like Bimini.
You've been wonderful
with the animals.
You've done a lot.
And you're
a great team leader.
You made everybody
around you feel better.
I have something for you.
Here.
"Miss Sarah Carlson...
Employment offer"?
Yeah.
You can work
during the summers
while you're at school.
And should you decide,
you can always
come back here
after you graduate
and have a full time job.
Yes, absolutely.
100%. Yes.
Well, welcome to the family.
-Thank you so much.
-[Mr. Kai laughing]
Thank you. Ohh.
Oh. And I see somebody
else is waiting to say
their goodbyes.
[dolphin noises]
[gentle music]
-Bimini.
-[dolphin noises]
You're so good.
You're so good.
Come here.
I'm gonna miss you.
Gonna miss you so much.
We both saved
each other's lives.
-[dolphin noises]
-Yes, we did.
Mwah! I love you.
[laughing]
Okay. Maybe just one more
swim then. Only one more.
