The Curious Case of Dolphin Bay (2022) Movie Script
It's a new start
[DOLPHINS WHISTLING, CLICKING]
It's a new beginning
Like a new soul
Ready to be living
So precious is the time
Every minute of our lives
Now, don't make me wait
Right now is all I need
And want from you
Don't be afraid
Let's start...
Rusty, Skip, today's the day.
And can you believe it?
I get to spend all summer
snorkeling with Daniela.
Oh, I've missed her so much.
But don't worry,
I promise to bring
some cool shells back from Australia
so we can finally
do a bit of redecorating in there.
Aw, I'll miss you too.
Off I go.
[ADVENTURER, ECHOING]
Is there somebody in here?
Is there something in here?
Are you with me, Tedheads?
My gut says we're not alone.
- [CLINKS]
- [GASPS]
[WHISPERS] I knew it.
[NORMAL] [CLEARS THROAT]
Uh, if there is a spirit present,
please announce yourself.
- [BATS FLAPPING, SQUEAKING]
- [GASPS]
Great. Uh, thanks.
And please, know that I come in peace.
[GASPS] Whoa!
[SNIFFS, GRUNTS]
[BIRDS TWITTERING, CALLING]
What happened?
I did tell you this part
of the tour was optional, right?
There was, uh... I, um...
Listen... Uh, look,
I-I saw... um...
There was a lizard.
A-And it was... huge!
- And really mean.
- [BOTH] Mmm.
But there's something else in there.
More than just a lizard.
I-I can feel it.
- Mm-hmm.
- Me too.
Is it your phone?
Cool. If we come back in a week
the lizard might have
its own lifestyle blog.
"Life lessons with Lizzy."
"Ten life changing tips
for how to catch flies."
Hey, we should head back and shower.
- Quinn's gonna be here soon.
- Okay.
I'll meet you two there.
Thanks for the tour, Daniela.
I can find my way back from here.
- Sure thing. See you in a bit.
- [CHUCKLES]
[ADVENTURER] Mm-hmm.
[SMACKING LIPS]
All right.
Getting my phone and going home.
- Getting my phone and...
- [ANIMAL GROWLING]
[GASPS] Whoa-oa-oa!
Time for me to unplug a bit anyway.
[CHUCKLES]
[DRIVER] What brings you to Dolphin Bay?
[QUINN] I'm here for an internship
at the Center for Marine Biology
with my best friend, Daniela.
- Yeah, she moved here last year.
- Oh, who runs that place now?
- Daniela's dad, Charlie.
- Oh.
He's a world-renowned marine biologist.
He inherited a research center here
on Dolphin Bay
- from his old mentor.
- Uh-huh.
Daniela and I are going to be his interns
for the summer.
Sounds like fun.
And look! Here's Dolphin Bay.
Give me gray and gold
Lighten up my soul
Burning harder
Never gonna let this go
Paint the road like a story told
Shining brighter
Never gonna let this go
I live my life in
I live my life in color
I live my life in
I live my life in color
[CAR HORN HONKS]
You must be Quinn.
Indeed I am.
Ah, nice to finally meet ya.
My name's Nate,
I'm the groundskeeper here.
I live just down there in that cottage.
[STAMMERS] Th-This place is amazing
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, glad you like it.
Uh, come on in.
Daniela and the other interns are
expecting ya.
Other interns?
Wow.
[NATE] Welcome.
What do you think?
[QUINN CHUCKLES] Oh, it's great.
So through here you're gonna...
Um, who's Eyebrows McGee?
Oh, that's Mr. Everly Fallow.
He built this house in the 1920s.
His daughter, Wendy, sold the place
and all of its furnishings to my granddad
- back in the '70s.
- [GASPS]
Wait, y-your grandfather was
Dr. Martin Watts?
The one and only.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Anyway...
He-He's like a founding father
of modern marine biology.
Uh, you-you-you grew up here?
With-With him?
Sure did.
Yeah. I mean, Charlie owns it all now.
I just look after the place.
[LAUGHING] Whoa... Wow. Okay.
I have so many questions for you.
First of all,
what's it like being scientific royalty?
- Overrated.
- [CHUCKLES]
Second of all, is it true Dr. Watts had
a pet octopus named Dmitri?
- Third of all...
- How about,
we talk about him another time.
Yeah.
Uh, okay. [CHUCKLES]
I-I-I'll see you tomorrow.
[QUINN CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
Those brows could really use a tweeze,
don't you think?
[CHUCKLING] Hey, Daniela!
Quinn!
- You got taller.
- And so did you.
Your hair is so long now.
Is that a goat wearing a necklace?
Oh, yeah.
It's from our spring charity event.
- Isn't it adorable?
- [QUINN CHUCKLES]
Hi, Quinn.
Quinn, this is Jennifer.
She's my best friend. [CHUCKLES]
From my new school.
Remember how I told you
I ran for student council vice president,
- and I won?
- Yeah.
Well, Jennifer's the president.
She's the one who encouraged me
to run for it in the first place.
Oh. Wow. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, we organized
the petting zoo together.
It was... It was a sensation.
It was so amazing. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah. We should probably take turns
wearing the shirt though.
But it's so cute.
[DANIELA CHUCKLES]
A-Are you here for the day
on official school business or something?
She's going to be interning
with us this summer.
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
That's...
- fantastic.
- [ALL LAUGH]
Yeah. Come on. I'll give you the tour.
Mmm, perfect. [CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
[DANIELA] And here's your room.
[GASPS] Wow! Check out that view.
It's not bad, huh?
We're just right across the hall.
[CHUCKLES] You two are rooming together?
Yeah, well, two of us had to double up.
And I wanted you to have the view.
Here, take some time to unpack.
- We'll see you in a bit?
- Yeah.
See you later, I guess.
Welcome to the party.
Ah, forgive me. Theodore Wellington.
At your service.
But you can call me Teddy.
And I'm Quinn.
Are you an intern too?
Mmm.
H-How many more are there?
Oh, dozens. It's a verifiable army.
Just kidding. [CHUCKLES]
There's only four of us.
Oh.
So, Quinn, tell me everything.
Where are you from?
- Outside of Savannah. And you?
- Ah.
Well, how much time do you have?
[SUITCASE THUDS]
I'll give you the abridged version then.
I was born in Melbourne,
but I moved to London when I was young,
- and now I go to boarding school...
- [SQUEAKS]
...in Switzerland.
- Ah, I see you packed the essentials.
- [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, my parents are clowns.
Uh, l-like, literally.
Th-They're always playing jokes.
Well, my parents are diplomats.
Clowns sound a lot more fun.
Wow, Teddy, take a hint.
I'm sorry, it's just...
You know, long flight.
[CHUCKLES] I need a nap.
Oh, of course. You must be knackered.
Uh, I'll see you in the lab.
[SIGHING]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES, JINGLES]
[CHUCKLES]
Look at you all,
beaming at me in your lab coats.
This is just... I... I gotta say it.
This is truly squad goals.
- Dad.
- Yeah?
Please don't say, "squad goals."
- Why not?
- Just don't.
Okay. Squad goals aside,
I think it's fairly important
for all of you to realize
that you've arrived here
at a very critical time
in Dolphin Bay's history.
So Dolphin Bay Reef out there,
the very backbone of the marine ecosystem
that we have here,
it's in grave danger.
So we have been measuring the biodiversity
of that reef for the last year,
and we have found out
that the biodiversity has actually dropped
by a full 10%.
All the species that we have here are
so interconnected and interwoven
that the loss of even just one
could have a cataclysmic impact
on the health and the well-being
of all the other species surrounding it.
Maybe think of it like an old sweater.
There's a thread hanging off it,
you pull that thread,
starts to unravel.
Dolphin Bay is unraveling very fast.
Even the dolphins are starting to leave,
and wha-what is Dolphin Bay
without dolphins? Yeah?
Well, I suppose
it would just be called Bay. [CHUCKLES]
Did I just say that out loud?
- Yeah.
- Man.
[INTERNS LAUGHING]
It was dead.
- Didn't seem like it.
- Oh.
That was delicious, David.
Best snapper I've ever had.
Yeah, Pops. You've outdone yourself.
- Aw, please.
- [CHUCKLES] What's your secret?
Uh, good olive oil,
sustainably caught snapper,
of which there is an abundance locally.
- He's also avoiding working on his book.
- That is true.
- I love the tortured artist.
- Mmm.
Ah, but time you enjoy wasting
is not wasted time.
- Okay, ten points to Teddy.
- [ALL MUTTERING]
Very good.
A-plus for you.
- [DAVID CHUCKLES]
- [TEDDY] Thanks.
Psst, I brought my Ouija board
if anyone's interested
in taking a trip to the other side, hmm?
Uh, I also brought Settlers of Catan.
Oh, I love Settlers of Catan!
Maybe some other time, Teddy.
The girls and I actually have
some work to do tonight.
Rain check it is. [CHUCKLES]
Cheerio, ladies.
- [OWL HOOTING]
- [CICADAS CHIRPING]
For our fall charity event,
we're gonna be doing
a battle of the bands.
We have ten slots to fill,
and we've already received 30 submissions.
So, it's time to start narrowing down.
First up we have Taco Tuesday.
- [OFF-KEY NOTES PLAYING]
- [BEAT PLAYS]
That's really good.
You like this?
- Yeah, it's edgy.
- Yeah.
- It's very transgressive. Mmm.
- Mmm.
- He's a little off-key.
- [SCOFFS] Well, yeah,
- that's what's so cool about it.
- Yeah.
If it's not K-pop, Quinn's not interested.
[CHUCKLES, SCOFFS]
What's wrong with K-pop?
I mean, we love BTS.
- [CELL PHONE JINGLES]
- Is it him?
- [JENNIFER CHUCKLES]
- Who?
It's him, isn't it?
Who?
[CHUCKLING] I knew he'd text you back.
Who? Hey, will someone please answer me?
I sound like a great horned owl. [SCOFFS]
[CHUCKLES] Oh, well, his name's Tommy.
He's the smartest guy in our grade.
On the last day of school,
he put his number in Daniela's phone
and she texted him this morning.
And he just answered.
[GASPS] Exciting, isn't it?
Riveting. [CHUCKLES]
[JENNIFER] Well, what did he say?
He said, "Hey."
No way.
- [DANIELA CHUCKLES]
- That's it?
Okay, wait a few hours to respond.
Trust me.
Okay, well, uh, next up we have... [SIGHS]
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- [QUINN] Come in.
That's quite the getup.
Oh, it was custom-made.
And monograms never go out of fashion.
[CHUCKLES]
That's-That's great. [CHUCKLES]
Uh, may I?
[SIGHS]
Can I ask you something, Quinn?
Are you a believer?
A believer in what?
The spirit of adventure.
The power of a good mystery!
The pull of the supernatural.
Oh, I-I-I'm a scientist, Teddy.
I believe in rational thought
and tangible evidence.
[SCOFFS] Oh, but, Quinn,
our two modes of thinking are not,
by any means, mutually exclusive.
Now that we've gotten to know one another...
- Mmm, we have?
- ...I feel like I can be honest with you.
Okay?
I'm not spending this summer
at Dolphin Bay
because I have a particular interest
in marine biology.
Well, I'm not not interested,
it's just not the reason I wake up
in the morning.
Okay, why are you here then?
To search for buried treasure.
Really?
Oh.
I should get back to my book.
This is real, Quinn.
200 years ago,
my great, great, great, great-grandfather...
Wait, that's-that's not right. Um...
My great, great, great,
great, great, great-grandfather,
Henry Wellington, perished in a shipwreck
right off the coast of Dolphin Bay.
He was a storied explorer
and treasure hunter
who vanished
during his first solo expedition.
A chest of priceless family heirlooms
went down with the ship
and, though the wreck itself washed away
centuries ago, my family believes
that the treasure remains around here,
somewhere.
Many have tried and failed to find it.
Now it's my turn.
I'm not going home empty-handed.
Now,
every treasure hunter needs a first mate.
So, Quinn Perkins, what do you say?
Will you be my partner in adventure?
Wha... What evidence do you have
that the treasure actually exists
and isn't just the stuff of family lore?
I've seen the ship's manifest.
- With your own eyes?
- With my own eyes.
I'd show you a photo, but, uh,
I left my phone in a cave.
Well, there was a lizard.
- A lizard?
- Yeah.
Uh, it's a... it's a long story. [CHUCKLES]
I'll think about it.
Ah!
In case you're interested in
familiarizing yourself with my work
in the meantime.
Thank you.
At your service.
What's a Tedhead?
- [OWL HOOTING]
- [CICADAS CHIRPING]
Well, you have to admire his resolve.
[CELL PHONE CLICKS]
[SIGHS]
[SCOFFS]
Mmm.
[EXHALES] Mmm.
[CELL PHONE CAMERA CLICKING]
[DANIELA GASPS]
Did something bite you? I know first aid.
I forgot to text Tommy back.
- [SIGHS]
- I played it so cool,
I forgot to text him back.
Daniela, the key is waiting.
Long enough
so that you don't seem overeager,
but not too long,
otherwise you'll seem uninterested.
Yeah. [SCOFFS]
How do you not know that, Daniela?
- It's like texting 101.
- [CHUCKLES] Exactly.
- Thank you, Quinn.
- She's being sarcastic.
[CHUCKLING] O-Oh.
[NORMAL] I fell for it again.
Text him back. Now.
Well, what should I say?
Or we could go snorkeling.
- I don't know. Have I ruined it now?
- No you haven't ruined it. It's fine, um...
- Have I screwed it up?
- No, no, no, you're fine.
Um, say...
That's what he said.
What are you reading?
Treasure Island. How very appropriate.
Just getting myself in the mood.
Uh, have you given my proposal
any thought?
Look, Teddy,
it's nothing personal, I just...
I'm here for an internship,
not a treasure hunt.
And, statistically speaking, you're
more likely to be struck by lightning
than to find buried treasure.
My cousin, Augustus,
was struck by lightning.
Twice.
Nothing's impossible, Quinn.
But it's all hunky-dory.
I respect your decision.
Great. Snorkeling?
Hmm, not today.
Suit yourself.
I feel it coming
I'm ready for it
My heart is soaring
I'm up so high
I choose adventure
I'm taking chances
I'm gonna dance in the open sky
'Cause this is my time
My time
My time
This is my time
My time
My time
[DOLPHINS WHISTLING]
Yeah
On the road to someplace
No one's ever seen
Gonna dare to blur the lines
It's in my blood and in my veins
Break away
I feel it coming
I'm ready for it
My heart is soaring
I'm up so high
I choose adventure
I'm taking chances
I'm gonna dance in the open sky
'Cause this is my time
My time
My time
Daniela! I saw so much coral
and reef sharks and stingrays.
[GASPS] Oh, and a dolphin.
It came so close. It was amazing. [LAUGHS]
This place is incredible.
And check out this shell I found.
Don't you think
Rusty and Skip will love it?
- Um...
- Who are Rusty and Skip?
- They're my fish.
- Your fish?
Yeah, my pet fish. [CHUCKLES]
Are you being sarcastic this time?
I-I can't tell.
- No.
- Unfortunately, no.
Unfortunately?
Quinn, I'm sorry.
Rusty and Skip will
totally love that shell.
It's perfect.
Now you notice.
So, why couldn't you say that
in front of Jennifer?
And why did you wait until I got here
to tell me about her?
I tried to tell you about her.
So many times.
I just...
I just want things to be how they were.
I know, Quinn.
Things change all the time
and so do people.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GRUNTING]
[EXHALES HEAVILY]
1821!
[CLEARS THROAT]
[EXHALES] Remember that thing I said
about only believing in tangible evidence?
Of course I do. I have an amazing memory.
A coin. From 1821.
Is that from the...
[CHUCKLES]
Just now?
This is exactly as it was described
in the manifest.
Well, there must be hundreds more
where this came from.
I think lightning just struck, Teddy.
You know what this calls for, don't you?
[GRUNTS, EXHALES]
Yeah! Dance with me, Quinn.
[STAMMERS] I don't dance.
We'll work on that.
[TEDDY] Whoo! [GRUNTS]
- [GIGGLES]
- [TEDDY] Yeah!
[TEDDY GRUNTS] Yeah! Whoo!
Let's have ourselves an adventure.
Whoo!
- [LAPTOP CHIMES]
- And action.
Hello, Tedheads.
[EXHALES DEEPLY] Oh, boy.
Have I got some news for you.
Those familiar with my show...
Thanks for watching...
know that I'm spending the summer
interning
at the Dolphin Bay Center
for Marine Biology,
but that I'm really here
as an undercover adventurer
searching for buried treasure.
Wait, why am I whispering?
I-I'm all over the place, guys.
Forgive me.
I'm just very excited because...
[HONKING]
[CLINKS]
Look.
That's right.
It's a coin from Henry Wellington's wreck.
My new best mate, Quinn, found it.
But, uh, she's camera shy
and opted not to appear
in today's episode.
My gut says
there's much more treasure to be found.
Take a look.
Between the shipwreck
and where the coin was discovered,
Quinn and I have a lot of ground to cover.
And oh, boy, Tedheads,
are we going to cover it.
Until we meet again,
stay curious, my friends.
[QUINN] Um, Teddy,
I think you're still rolling.
Nailed it.
[INHALES DEEPLY] So...
- What is it?
- [CHUCKLES] I've been thinking...
Mm-hmm.
Look, I know we still have a lot
of work to do on the battle of the bands...
- Mm-hmm.
- ...and I know it's a little early
to start planning in earnest,
but I think I wanna axe a holiday dance.
It's a bold move,
but I'm listening.
[CHUCKLES]
What if we do a carnival instead?
- Mmm, that's cute.
- Yeah, who doesn't love carnivals?
[LAUGHS] Quinn, for starters.
You know,
I didn't mean to upset her earlier.
I just genuinely couldn't tell
if she was kidding
- about that pet fish thing.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [LAUGHS] I hope she's okay though.
- Yeah, don't worry, it's not you.
I should make more of an effort then.
You know, try make her feel more included.
Yeah, you can, but Quinn just likes
things to be a very certain way.
You know, she's not very big on change.
- Okay, back to the carnival.
- Okay, so...
...and that is how
the moray eel got its spots.
- [MOUTHING] No. No.
- [INTERNS] Wow. Ah.
- Huh?
- [TEDDY] Wow.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
Dolphin Bay After Dark presents,
Nate Watts.
[INTERNS CLAPPING]
You've all seen the portrait that hangs
near the front entrance
of the house, right?
You mean Eyebrows McGee?
Now known as Eyebrows McGee,
but he once went by the name
of Everly Fallow,
and he built the house you're living in.
I love where this is going.
Now, Everly Fallow moved to Dolphin Bay
a hundred years ago
in search of buried treasure.
Oh, my.
- The Wellington family treasure.
- Yes.
Which legend says was lost off the coast
of Dolphin Bay two centuries ago.
It was!
Thank you for confirming that,
Mr. Wellington.
Oh, you're welcome.
I'm loving this. Continue.
Now, Everly dedicated his entire life
to searching for this treasure,
and it drove him mad!
The locals used to wonder,
"Does this man ever sleep?"
Night in, night out,
they'd see him wandering
along the shoreline,
pacing back and forth,
muttering to himself about the lost riches
that forever evaded his greedy grasp.
Everly passed away 50 years ago,
and his bodied is buried up in the cave.
But when the moon is full,
some say you can see his ghost
wandering around Dolphin Bay
searching forever
for a treasure he'll never find.
[WIND HOWLING]
- [WOOD CLACKING]
- [CICADAS CHIRPING]
[SIGHS, GROANS]
[WOOD SQUEAKS, CLACKS]
[CLACKING CONTINUES]
[WOOD SLAMS, RATTLES]
[WOOD CREAKING]
[TEDDY] You heard it too.
I bet it's Everly.
Ghosts aren't real, Teddy.
Then why do you seem so scared?
I'm not.
Good.
Good.
Good.
- Good.
- Because neither am I.
[WOOD SCRAPING, THUDS]
We should investigate.
Definitely.
You go first.
Wow. Didn't Ms. Rational Thought just say
she doesn't believe in ghosts?
[STAMMERS] I don't believe in ghosts,
but I do believe in strange noises.
- [THUDS]
- [HOUSE CREAKS]
[GASPS]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
How can the sound be coming
from downstairs if there is no downstairs?
[BOTH BREATHING SHAKILY]
[FOOTSTEPS]
[BOOKSHELF CREAKS]
[QUINN, TEDDY SCREAMING]
[ALL LAUGHING]
So, there we all are,
screaming our heads off.
They think I'm the ghost of Everly Fallow.
- [DANIELA LAUGHS]
- That's true.
We didn't even realize
there was a downstairs.
Well, it used to be Everly's library.
It's my office now.
- Ah.
- It's filled with all these old books.
You know, it's very inspiring.
Well, sorry to have spooked you guys
with that little ghost story last night.
It's just a local legend,
nothing to worry about.
Perhaps it isn't a tall tale at all, Nate.
Perhaps it's real.
Uh, not that I think
ghosts are real or anything, okay?
But you were very convincing.
- Yeah.
- [TEDDY] Nice one.
- [NATE] Aw, thanks, Teddy.
- Yeah.
Maybe I missed my true calling
to become an actor.
- [TEDDY CHUCKLES]
- Or at the very least, a podcast host.
[ALL CHUCKLING]
Anyway, hey, as a man of science,
can I assure both of you that
there is no ghost haunting this property?
And also, ghosts aren't real.
Except when it's a full moon.
Teddy, I don't mean for this to sound,
like, snide or anything,
but you're awfully sensitive
to ghost stories
for someone who wants to make a career
out of solving mysteries.
That's a true observation, Daniela.
You're absolutely right.
I'm terrified of the unknown,
which is precisely why I'm drawn to
unsolved mysteries.
And I think
there's no greater unsolved mystery
than that of the great beyond.
I think facing your fears
is a very important part of living.
You know,
the more you understand something,
the less scary it becomes.
And that's why I do what I do.
I think that's wonderful, Teddy.
And, for the record, Quinn was
just as scared as I was last night.
- Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
- [ALL LAUGHING]
[DANIELA] Well, that's not surprising.
What? You change the channel every time
a Lucky Charms commercial comes on.
- [ALL CHUCKLING]
- Oh, no, but tha-tha-that's different.
- Leprechauns are creepy.
- [ALL LAUGH]
[DANIELA] What?
Mammals aren't supposed to have
such tiny hands.
Aren't they?
[CHUCKLING] Well,
I guess everyone knows now.
- [NORMAL] Thanks, Daniela.
- Well...
[SIGHS] Leprechauns.
It's day two,
and I am beyond excited to announce
your first official task
as summer interns.
- Beach cleanup!
- You mean, picking up trash?
Yes! Yes, exactly.
Come on. It's all about paying our dues.
And I promise you that it's all in keeping
with a much larger scientific point.
'Cause it's not just the oceans
that are suffering right now.
It's our beaches as well.
They're being inundated by tons of trash
from fishing vessels,
cruise liners, everything.
So, on behalf of all creatures that call
Dolphin Bay their home...
thank you for your service.
Have fun.
Hey, um,
sorry about the leprechaun slipup.
Yeah, that was a secret.
Honestly, it's more endearing
than it is embarrassing.
You should just own it.
[SCOFFS] Noted.
I don't like all this tension
between us, Quinn.
Oh, really?
You just don't understand how hard it is
to start over.
[STAMMERS] I-I do though.
Hey, you left a-and I had to start over.
That's not the same thing.
I moved to a foreign country.
And I started high school
without my only friend.
[STAMMERS] I-I-I...
I feel like I was in a foreign country.
But you weren't.
Look, Jennifer really took me
under her wing
and I'm grateful to her for that.
Like, this place is finally
starting to feel like home.
So why can't you just be happy for me?
Because you've replaced me.
[TEDDY] Hey, guys.
I'm the creature from the black lagoon.
Get it?
[GROANING]
[GRUNTS] Just forget it.
[TEDDY] Hmm, wait, hold on.
All right, so we'll start here, yeah?
I reckon that snorkeling makes
everything better.
You cover the northern half
and I'll cover the southern half.
Easy-peasy.
Deal?
- Uh, you got a little... we...
- What?
- S-Seaweed. [STAMMERS] up.
- There? No?
- Up. Like... No.
- There?
- There.
- [CHUCKLES]
Oh, this?
Well, I was just saving it for later.
I've always wanted to
photosynthesize my own dinner.
- Delicious and nutritious.
- Mm-hmm.
Let's do this.
- Hey
- Outside the box
Outside the lines
We've always been a little different
Hey
I never dreamt we'd come this far
Yeah, it sure took a while, didn't it?
We are, we are, we are
We are the dreamers
We are, we are, we are
Way up high
So, honey, don't look down
'Cause we're living now
Hey
Hey
[DOLPHIN WHISTLING]
'Cause we are, we are, we are
We are the dreamers
Hey, Tedheads,
who ordered the escargot? [CHUCKLES]
We are, we are...
Uh-oh. We're being watched.
[DOLPHIN CLICKING]
...Way up high
So, honey, don't look down
'Cause we're living now
Hey
Hey
[TEDDY SIGHS]
I was certain we'd find more coins.
Or at least some sign
of the treasure down there.
[SIGHS] Maybe the current swept
the rest away.
Or maybe it's buried on land somewhere.
Well, at least we found some cool shells.
And removed some trash from the ocean.
Yeah, you're right.
Who wants to play a game of...
Ocean Warriors?
I have work to do on my next draft,
so you guys knock yourselves out.
So David is out, apparently,
and Nate is yet to surface
from his cottage, so...
anybody else?
Sorry, Dad, we have
so many band submissions to review.
Mmm, the submissions keep pouring in.
[CHARLIE] Mmm. Quinn and Teddy,
will you be lending your ears
to the cause?
Yeah, you guys are welcome to join us.
Actually, uh, Quinn and I have important
treasure hunting business to attend to.
- [DANIELA] Okay.
- S-Sorry, treasure hunting?
Mmm. Oh, it's just a little side project.
Okay. Just make sure
it doesn't become a distraction.
You know, Teddy,
I am starting to feel a bit distracted,
and that worries me.
A treasure hunt isn't what
I came here to do.
This internship is really important to me.
Are you bailing on me?
I don't know. I might be.
[GRUNTS] It's just that,
Everly Fallow searched his whole life
for the treasure and found nothing,
and we're here for a day
and found an amazing coin.
Why can't we just take that as a win
and move on?
Well, you see, it's...
because
the treasure has nothing to do with it.
For me, at least.
What's it about then?
I have three older brothers.
I'm the youngest,
and my parents don't take me as seriously
as they take my brothers.
And this whole treasure mystery has
haunted my family for so long,
and I figured if I could be the one
to finally find it,
maybe they'll finally take me seriously.
You know, maybe they'll finally be...
proud.
[CHUCKLES LIGHTLY] I... I-I totally get it.
You do?
You know what, Teddy?
After much thought,
I've decided that a treasure hunt sounds
like a very worthy distraction.
Mmm, I'm thrilled to hear you say that,
Quinn.
- Onwards and upwards.
- [BRANCH SNAPS]
Do you hear that?
What is it?
[WIND BLOWING]
Davy Jones's locker.
Look over there.
[QUINN] Remember,
Everly's buried in there.
[TEDDY] Then it has to be his ghost.
There must be an explanation for...
It's the coin.
He wants the coin.
Ghosts aren't supposed to be real.
[TEDDY] Quinn, we gotta go.
[BREATHING SHAKILY] Okay, okay.
What do we do?
[SHAKY BREATHING CONTINUES]
We don't lose our cool. Not yet.
Quinn, a vengeful treasure hunting ghost
just appeared before our very...
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Teddy,
you're jumping to some major conclusions
based on very little evidence,
which is not super scientific of you.
Like, how do you know he's vengeful?
Ma-Maybe he's friendly.
That's what I'm going to choose to believe
until there's ample evidence
that proves otherwise.
Now breathe.
Hey, there you go.
Do you have enough tangible evidence
to believe in ghosts now?
What can I say?
There's no better evidence than
what you could see with your own eyes,
and I'm pretty sure we just saw a ghost.
In all my years,
I've communicated with ghosts,
but I've never actually seen one.
That was a first for both of us.
[SIGHS] How do you feel?
[CHUCKLING] I'm terrified.
And excited.
It appears we've found ourselves
a ghost portal,
so we're in uncharted territory now.
[GLASS TAPS]
[GLASS TAPS]
- [GLASS TAPS]
- [CRASHES]
[GLASS TAPS]
[GLASS TAPS]
Okay.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
[DOOR CREAKS]
[GASPS]
My phone.
[DOOR CREAKS]
Tommy wants to meet
for ice cream tomorrow.
And he said he can bring Jack
and we can make it a double date.
Already?
Mmm, what are you gonna say?
What should I say?
Um...
Say, "I'd love to."
Love?
Yeah, you're right.
Say, "That sounds fun."
With a winky emoji?
- No emoji.
- Okay.
Perfect.
Sent.
It's great to see it's not just me
who's excited about coming to work today.
Every great adventure
into the scientific unknown
begins with one thing.
A hypothesis.
Now, a hypothesis is like a prediction.
It's like an explanation
for the unexplainable.
So, what I wanna know is
if anybody here has a hypothesis
about what is going on in the bay.
Daniela, you can start.
Um, climate change is heating the sea,
which is killing the fish.
Mm-hmm. Very good.
Jennifer.
Pollution is throwing off
the water's chemical balance.
Excellent. Good job.
Quinn.
The effects of overfishing out at sea
is disrupting the food web.
I like that one.
Very good.
And Teddy.
A snag in the energy field
between our world and the world
of the great beyond has created
some sort of cosmic ripple effect
that's killing the fish.
Or maybe, uh,
the introduction of a new apex predator
has made the place go all wonky.
Yeah, we...
W-We might do that one. Yeah.
So how's the budget looking?
- It's... It's okay.
- Will we make...
My hypothesis is that Everly is no Casper.
He's miffed at us. I can feel it.
And on what are you
basing that hypothesis?
Well,
the fact that he has unfinished business.
Or the fact that,
as you so astutely put it,
we found in a day what he spent
his entire life searching for.
Don't you think that might trigger him
to wanna seek some sort of revenge?
Hmm, he returned you cell phone.
That doesn't feel like revenge to me.
It feels like an act of service.
Do you always have to play
devil's advocate?
It's the only way to encourage
healthy debate.
Well, fine. I know how we can settle this.
I can't believe you travel with this.
Uh, actually, y-yes, I can.
Now, in order for this to work,
we must proceed
with the utmost seriousness,
and we must, above all else, believe.
Do you understand?
[CHUCKLES] Yes, I understand.
But, do you believe?
[EXHALING] Yes, Teddy.
[NORMAL]
I wouldn't have said this a few days ago,
but I believe. [SIGHS]
Or at the very least,
I'm choosing to believe.
Okay, I'll take it.
Touch your fingers to the dial.
Careful. Careful.
All right, slow.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Is there a spirit present?
[TEDDY CHUCKLES LIGHTLY]
Is it the spirit of Everly Fallow?
Okay.
Nothing we didn't already know.
Everly, are you angry with us?
Everly, are you after our coin?
[THUNDER RUMBLES]
Okay, you were right. He's mad.
- What do we do?
- We give him his coin back.
- Okay.
- Come on.
- [BIRD WARBLES]
- [FROGS CROAKING]
[SIGHS] "We must go on,
because we can't turn back."
It's from Treasure Island.
Let's go on then.
[TEDDY] Everly's tomb.
Whatever you do, don't touch that lizard.
They're everywhere.
Noted.
Be careful.
All right, Everly, the coin is yours now.
I always keep a spare shell on me,
just in case.
I respect that.
Here you go, Eyebrows McGee.
May you finally rest in peace.
[SIGHS] That should do it.
Well, Tedheads,
here's something I never thought I'd say.
The treasure hunt is off.
[TRUMPET DRONING]
Though my...
[TRUMPET THUDS]
Tho...
[TRUMPET THUDS]
- Though my ancestor...
- [THUDS]
...Henry Wellington,
was once the treasure's rightful owner,
it appears that through the centuries,
another soul claimed it as his own.
His name is Everly Fallow.
Everly spent his life searching
for the coin Quinn and I found,
and, oh boy, did his ghost let us know it.
I'll tell you more about that one night
when I've had a chance to process it.
[GASPS, STAMMERS] Okay.
In any event,
if we were to have kept the coin
and kept up with our hunt for more,
Quinn and I would have put our own safety,
and the safety of others, in jeopardy.
And no amount of gold or glory
is worth that risk,
so we've left the coin with Everly
at his final resting place
in the Dolphin Bay cave.
So, the hunt rests for now.
In the meantime,
I'm going to take a brief hiatus.
Until we meet again...
stay curious, my friends.
And cut.
Hey, you'll find another way
to make your parents proud.
I know it.
But, for what it's worth,
I'm already proud of you.
Mmm, you know your stuff, Teddy,
and you're very brave.
Thanks, Quinn.
[DOLPHIN WHISTLING]
[DOLPHIN CLICKING]
- [CHARLIE] Guys, look! There's a dolphin.
- [DOLPHIN CLICKING]
You know, if she could talk,
she'd say she's really hungry.
She's been searching high and low
all morning for her favorite snack,
and she just can't seem to find it.
She's not ready to give up on
Dolphin Bay just yet.
That is why we are doing what we're doing.
So what was that first step?
Who can remind me
what that first hypothesis was?
Yeah?
Elevated concentrations of heavy metals
in the water could be having
a deleterious effect on reef biodiversity,
dwindling dolphins' food supplies
and thus driving them away?
Bang on. Well done, Quinn.
So today we're going to collect
some samples
of sea water, coral and sediment
from different locales around the bay,
and tomorrow we're
going to test those samples
for the possible presence
of those heavy metals.
So, any questions?
- Yeah?
- Why are we in a rowboat?
Yeah, that was a serious workout.
[CHARLIE] It's all thanks to the work
of Dr. Martin Watts.
All motorized seafaring vessels,
and that's jet skis, boats, anything,
they were all banned
in Dolphin Bay over two decades ago.
That's strange.
I just... I've seen a big boat
out on the bay and it wasn't this one.
You sure?
Positive. I've seen it three times
in the middle of the night,
just sitting there.
Maybe it was a ghost ship.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
[BIRDS TWITTERING]
[JENNIFER] You excited to see Tommy?
I'm actually pretty nervous.
Nerves are just excitement in disguise.
It'll be fun. Trust me. [CHUCKLES]
I'm not delusional, Teddy.
I know what I saw,
and it wasn't a ghost ship.
No one thinks you're delusional.
[SIGHS] Oh, Daniela does.
And I saw a boat...
No, I've seen a boat
three different times.
I believe you,
and I reckon we'll find out
what it's doing there soon enough.
[QUINN SIGHS]
- [PERSON] How about we go to the beach?
- [PERSON 2] Great idea.
- He likes you. No, he likes you though.
- What if he's changed?
- We don't know that. They're coming.
- It'll be fine...
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, does anyone want ice cream?
I think I'm gonna get strawberry,
because strawberry's my favorite.
I love it. It's just so fun.
Um, I think I might get sprinkles.
Actually, I don't...
I don't think they have sprinkles.
So, I won't get sprin...
- What are... what are you guys gonna get?
- Yeah, um, I'll get the same.
Cool. [CHUCKLES]
- Cool.
- So cool.
[SINGSONGY] Cool.
Cool.
Yeah. Cool.
Should we get some ice cream then?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
The more I think about it,
the more I worry
that we haven't seen the last
of Everly Fallow.
At the end of the day,
all we did was bury a coin in some dirt.
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah, but we...
- I don't mean to belittle our efforts,
but my hypothesis is
that there's more to it.
[SIGHING] Okay.
[NORMAL] How do we test the hypothesis?
That's the thing.
It's a tough one to test.
We don't know much about Everly.
We need a sign to point us
in the right direction.
[SCOFFS] Give us a sign.
- Teddy!
- Argh.
[GRUNTS] That was my first time trying
honeycomb ice cream.
Sorry. Sorry, I'll get you another one.
[GROANING] Oh, man,
[NORMAL] I'm a bloody wreck today.
- [QUINN GASPS]
- What?
- A sign.
- I know. I just said that.
- No, like, an actual sign.
- I heard you the first time, Quinn. I...
Across the street, Teddy.
A give-us-a-sign sign. Look!
[TEDDY GASPS]
Fallow's Antiques.
[GASPING] Yeah.
[TEDDY CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLING] It was so funny.
- Yeah, it was funny.
[BELL CHIMES]
[CUCKOO CLOCK CHIMES, SINGING]
[CLOCK TICKING]
[TAPPING ON SHELF]
[BOTH WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]
- [CLEARS THROAT]
- [ORNAMENT CLINKS]
- Oh, how may I help you?
- We're sorry to bother you, ma'am.
We were just wondering,
is this shop somehow connected
to Everly Fallow?
Everly Fallow was my father.
[TEDDY] So the legend is true?
Well, my father came to live
in Dolphin Bay,
and yes he came in search
of the Wellington family treasure,
and yes he dedicated his life
in the pursuit of that treasure,
but he never found a thing.
I loved the man,
[CHUCKLES] but he'd read Treasure Island
just one too many times as a kid...
[CHUCKLES]
...and it filled his head with ideas.
Did he ever come close?
To finding anything?
Well, he claimed to.
I mean, just before he died,
he said to me, "Wendy, I found it.
And I let the dolphins have it."
I was never quite sure
what he meant by that.
Well, maybe it meant
that he did come close.
No, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
He wasn't making too much sense
by that stage.
And I suppose your next question
is going to be about his ghost.
- Have you ever seen it?
- Not once.
Have you?
Well, interesting.
You don't believe us.
No, it's not that.
It's just that,
so many people have seen him,
and, well, I never have.
I mean... [SCOFFS]
...makes a girl feel
a bit overlooked, you know?
Well, after my father died,
I sold every one of his belongings
to Dr. Watts
when he bought the house from me,
but I just couldn't part with
that journal.
I found it hidden in his library.
Who was Jim H.?
Pardon?
Uh, the last line. You know,
"The rest is between me, Jim H. and God."
I never figured that bit out.
My father didn't know any Jim H.'s.
Trust me, I did my research.
[SIGHS] That's really strange.
Well, thanks for your time, Ms. Fallow.
It was lovely to meet you.
Of course, dear. Come back anytime.
Oh, and if you do see my father,
tell him I said hello.
We certainly will.
Yo, Tedheads.
Do you know what time it is?
Uh, night?
Wait, what are you doing here?
Charlie sent me to come pick you up.
You missed dinner.
Oops.
- Yeah, big oops.
- [CUCKOO CLOCK CHIMING]
You wear many hats, Nate.
Groundskeeper, storyteller, bounty hunter.
Right.
Let's, uh, get the bikes
in the back of the truck, hey?
Charlie is equal parts worried
and furious.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, it's just so moving.
We have to pick them. I love it.
[QUINN SIGHING]
[INHALES SHARPLY]
[INHALES SHARPLY, GRUNTS]
Are you okay, Quinn?
I want to talk about our next move.
What is it? We can't lose momentum.
Well, I think the best thing we can do
for ourselves right now is, um, rest.
It'll keep us out of trouble,
and hopefully we can get back
in Charlie's good books.
And how do you suggest we do that?
[GRUNTS] My brain's moving
at a thousand miles per second.
Reading usually helps me.
Uh, I-I don't feel like reading.
[INHALES SHARPLY] I'll try to meditate.
Have you ever meditated before?
No. I mean, it can't be that hard.
- [BREATHES DEEPLY]
- Um, I think you're supposed to get...
- Shh!
- Okay.
- Davy Jones's locker!
- What?
Jim Hawkins!
- Who's that?
- The protagonist of Treasure Island,
his name is Jim Hawkins.
Wendy said her father read this book
too many times as a kid.
"The rest is between me, Jim H. and God."
David's office.
Everly's library.
I'm on it.
[FOOTSTEPS]
- Quinn. Well, I'm glad you're back safely.
- Mmm.
Is everything okay?
Yes, sorry to bother you, David.
It's just, I just finished my book
and I need to start a new one.
Do you mind if I grab something
off the shelf?
Oh, no. Of course. Come on down.
Just, uh, watch your step.
[QUINN GASPS]
- [DAVID] It's pretty cool, huh?
- [CHUCKLING] Yeah.
[DAVID] The personal collection
of Everly Fallow.
Most of these are first editions.
- Uh, have you read them all?
- Pretty much.
It can be inspiring to read the classics.
A little intimidating too,
which is probably contributing
to the old writer's block. [INHALES]
Is there something in particular
you're looking for?
Oh, um...
- this will do.
- Great.
Thanks, David.
How's the writing going?
Oh, well, I am currently researching
gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipes.
So, not great.
Ah. Thanks again.
- [DAVID SIGHS]
- Good night.
[GRUNTS]
[QUINN CHUCKLES]
- No way.
- Way.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[QUINN] "If you're here, protect it."
That's rather ominous.
[TEDDY] There's nothing here.
It's just the book.
[SIGHS]
[TEDDY GASPS] Everly made a treasure map.
Davy Jones's locker.
[TEDDY] And it's buried at the lighthouse.
[QUINN GRUNTING]
[TEDDY SIGHS] Come on, Quinn.
It's past midnight.
- Let me take over.
- Never.
There's enough epinephrine coursing
through my veins to power a small city.
I'm hulking out.
[METAL CLANGS]
[TEDDY BREATHING HEAVILY]
I'll let you do the honors,
Mr. Wellington.
[TEDDY EXHALING DEEPLY]
- [TREASURE CLINKING]
- It can't be!
[STAMMERS] There's just seashells.
Uh, keep digging.
It's a secret journal.
[CHUCKLES]
"If you're here,
you're about to learn the truth.
A truth I couldn't bear to take
to the grave with me."
[QUINN YAWNING]
Tell me that was not a yawn.
The adrenaline must be starting
to wear off.
- I'm crashing.
- Don't you fall asleep on me.
[SNORING]
[GRUNTS]
- The treasure is...
- Ooh, give me a second.
[GRUNTS] Okay, go on.
The treasure is stuck in a cave
beneath Dolphin Bay Reef.
The wreck of Henry Wellington's ship
settled on top of the mouth
of a giant underwater cave.
The treasure fell into that cave
and debris from the ship
blocked the entrance to it.
Over the centuries, that debris helped
anchor a new section of the reef
and so,
the only way to get to the treasure
- is to destroy...
- Destroy the reef.
Exactly.
Then that's what Everly meant
when he said he let the dolphins have it.
To him, the reef was the real treasure.
He refused to destroy it.
[CHUCKLING] How does it feel?
[NORMAL] You just solved the mystery
that's haunted your family for centuries.
We solved it, Quinn!
What an auspicious debut for us! [LAUGHS]
You know what this calls for, don't you?
- Whoo! Whoa!
- [CHUCKLING]
[TEDDY] Come on! [LAUGHS]
Can't have my love
Whoo!
I think you're crazy
Can't have my heart
- [QUINN] Whoo!
- [TEDDY] Whoo! [LAUGHS]
Good afternoon, Tedheads.
I'm back, and I'd like
to officially introduce you to Quinn,
- my partner in all things adventure.
- [CHUCKLES]
Lovely to meet you, Tedheads.
This right here is Everly Fallow's
secret journal,
and it hasn't seen the light of day
in nearly 50 years,
and we found it beneath the foundation
of what is now the Dolphin Bay Lighthouse.
X marks the spot.
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
Today is the day, ladies and gentlemen.
Today, we test our first ever hypothesis.
So, yesterday, we were out in the bay
getting our samples
of coral, sea water and sediment, yeah?
Today, we are going to test
those respective samples
for the presence of these heavy metals.
Let's do this.
- Shout about it
- Hey
Keep it coming
I'm going out
Nobody telling me nothing, no
- Dress it up to the top
- Hey!
It don't matter if you're showing it off
Yeah
Shake it, shake it
Shake it down now
Make it, make it
We make a wild sound
'Cause we're wild
But we're free
And we're dancing
The whole day long
So wake up and get out
And be free
And keep moving it on
Oh, whoa
We make a wild sound
So...
what did we learn?
That we were wrong.
Did I just say that out loud?
[QUINN WHISPERS] Yeah.
We learned that the concentrations
of each of the five metals
are just within their normal ranges.
Yeah. Meaning?
[JENNIFER]
Meaning our hypothesis was wrong
and the chemical makeup of the water
probably isn't what's having an effect
on the bay's dwindling biodiversity.
Yes! Yes.
Guys, it is awesome to be wrong,
because you're being pointed
in the right direction
to the right answer.
Yeah, sure, it would've been nice
to be right the first time. I get that.
Don't be discouraged.
Seriously, great work today.
Teddy, I've been thinking.
Uh-oh.
If Everly Fallow died
knowing where the treasure was,
then there would be no reason
for his ghost to roam the cove
searching for it.
But we both saw him.
We both saw something.
Maybe it wasn't a ghost.
You don't believe anymore.
Okay, let's not make this a referendum
on whether or not I believe.
I'm just following the facts.
Come on.
[SIGHS] Wait for me.
You think it was a person posing
as a ghost?
That's my new hypothesis.
We had something they wanted,
and they thought they'd scare us
into handing it right to them.
And we did hand it right to them.
Someone's clearly been here.
[GASPS] And now it's gone.
How would they have even known
it was here?
Maybe they're a Tedhead.
I mean, we literally showed them
the map pointing right here.
My followers really have been
paying attention.
I think it's safe to conclude then,
in this case,
there's no ghosts at large, hmm?
Just a potentially dangerous criminal
doing elaborate pranks.
You think it's the same person
that's driving the boat you keep seeing?
Now my gut says yes.
- [LIZARD GROWLS]
- Ah, buh, buh. You stay right there.
I'm watching you.
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
[GASPS]
- [SIGHING] Oh.
- [SIGHING] Oh, you scared me.
Just wondering where you were.
Quinn, where's the journal?
- It's in your room.
- It's not in my room.
[QUINN] It's gone.
[TEDDY] Where else could it be?
Hey, was the house broken into
while we were gone?
What? Of course not.
Did you see anyone go into my room?
Well, I haven't been standing guard
in the hallway.
- Did anyone else come upstairs?
- Just my dads.
And Nate.
- Nate?
- Nate?
Yeah. I saw him walking down the hall
when I went to the bathroom earlier.
- Upstairs?
- Upstairs?
Yeah.
[WHISPERS] What?
Yesterday, when Nate picked us up,
he said, "Yo, Tedheads."
I didn't think anything of it then, but...
- Does he own a boat?
- Yeah. Why?
We need to go to the marina. Now.
Nate is like family.
He would never steal from us.
[JENNIFER]
I saw a boat the other night too.
The same one you must've seen.
I mean, it was just sitting there.
[SIGHS] Whatever's going on,
she's not making it up.
[SIGHS]
Uh, but if we're not back in an hour,
please tell them, hmm?
[QUINN] Teddy, that's the boat I've seen.
It must be Nate's boat.
[GASPS]
- [TEDDY] Is that a drill?
- [QUINN] Oh, my gosh.
He's going to destroy the reef.
We've got to stop him.
We must go on because we can't go back.
Let's go on then.
[QUINN]
Can you figure out how the drill works?
[GRUNTS]
[GASPS] He's coming back.
What do we do?
Over here.
[QUINN] Hurry up. Close it.
- Pull, Teddy! Come on!
- [STRAINING] Come on!
[DOOR SHAKES]
[TEDDY PANTING]
Hey! Hey, look.
- The coin.
- [GASPS]
Y-You were right. It was never a ghost.
[MOTOR STARTS, RUMBLING]
[TEDDY GRUNTS]
Whoo!
You really saw a boat?
Quinn did seem pretty scared.
But Nate, it just...
It doesn't make any sense.
[THUMPING]
[QUINN BREATHING SHAKILY]
Hey, I'll distract him,
you find the drill's power source
and cut it.
I like that plan.
Okay. One, two, three!
- [DOOR THUMPING]
- [GRUNTING]
Nothing's working!
Give it up, Quinn!
You ain't getting out.
Nate, what are you doing?
[MOTOR DRONES]
[CHUCKLES]
You know exactly what I'm doing.
What would your grandfather think?
He'd be angry. Which is the point.
See, Quinn, I was next in line
- to inherit the research center.
- [NO SIGNAL TONE]
My plan was to sell it and use the money
to finally get out of this place.
But see, Granddad, he...
he had other ideas.
He thought the center would fall
into disrepair if he left it with me.
[SCOFFS]
I guess...
I guess, in his eyes, I wasn't enough.
So he left everything to Charlie.
[NATE] Exactly.
Well, everything except this...
luxury vessel.
And what have you been doing
in the bay at night?
I've seen your boat out there
and I know you're up to something.
I'm just doing a bit of fishing, Quinn.
Yeah, figured I could ruin
Granddad's legacy
and make a bit of money for my travels.
It's easy. I just pull exotic species
from the water and sell 'em.
Oh,
those scorpion fish are worth a fortune.
It sounds like you've been doing
a bit of overfishing.
For how long?
Oh, about a year now.
[GASPS] The reef is dying
because of you, Nate!
You're decimating its biodiversity!
The ripple effect has been catastrophic!
No wonder the dolphins are fleeing!
No wonder the dolphins are fleeing!
- [MOTOR STARTS]
- Sorry, Quinn, um,
I didn't actually hear that.
Can you repeat it?
The engine is very loud.
Actually, never mind.
I'm sure it wasn't that important.
[MOTOR HUMS]
Their phones keep going to voice mail.
It's almost been an hour.
[DANIELA] That's Nate's boat.
Go call the police and get my dads.
Now!
I'd just about made enough money
from the fishing
to leave the town and never look back,
and then you two arrived.
If Teddy hadn't posted about the coin
on his stupid vlog...
- It's not stupid.
- Thank you.
...I never would have realized
the Wellington family treasure
actually existed.
I thought it was just a legend.
So, I figured,
if I could get my hands on that coin,
sell it,
then I'd be on the first flight
out of here.
Stealing it would have been too obvious.
I mean,
you two never let it out of your sight.
Look.
[NATE] But when I realized
how scared you two got
over my little ghost story,
I saw the perfect opportunity.
I could bring
- the legend of Everly Fallow...
- [GLASS TAPPING]
- ...to life.
- [GASPS]
[TEDDY] By pretending to be his ghost.
[NATE] Exactly. Very good, Teddy.
[LAUGHS] And it worked!
You handed the coin straight to me,
and today,
as I was watching your terrible vlog,
I saw you found Everly's secret journal,
- which meant there was so...
- [BOTH] Whoo.
[NATE] ...much more to the story.
Luckily for me,
you left the journal in plain sight,
which showed me exactly
where the treasure was actually buried.
So then I figured,
why settle for just one coin,
when I could have a whole chest
of coins? [CHUCKLES]
Which leads us here.
And now, the treasure will be mine
and I can leave this town in the dust.
[DRILL WHIRRING]
[GASPS, PANTING]
[QUINN] Your grandfather dedicated
his life to the bay,
and you're destroying it for money.
How could you do such a thing?
[NATE] It's really not that hard, Quinn.
My grandfather chose the bay over me.
So destroying it will be
the cherry on top of the ca... [YELLS]
[SPLASHES]
The cherry on top of the what?
Daniela!
Quinn, I am so sorry I didn't believe you.
[SIGHS, CHUCKLES]
It doesn't matter now.
[CHUCKLES] You saved us.
You saved the reef.
Quinn, I didn't...
I didn't mean what I said before.
[QUINN] Me too.
But I acted selfishly and I'm sorry.
I've just had such a tough time being...
e-existing without you.
And making new friends
has been impossible,
and when I got here
and saw you with Jennifer,
I couldn't help but feel replaced.
No one could ever replace you, Quinn.
It's a new chapter for us.
Into the unknown we go.
Together.
And without fear.
- [SPLASHING]
- [BOAT THUMPING]
[GRUNTS]
That was beautiful.
Truly heartwarming.
- [SIREN BLARES]
- [POLICE OFFICER] Hey! Nate Watts.
You're under arrest for illegal fishing
in an unauthorized area
and the kidnapping of two minors.
Keep your hands where we can see them.
Nice try, ghost man.
[RADIO CHATTER]
- [DAVID] Daniela! Are you okay?
- [CHARLIE] Daniela, you okay?
- Oh, goodness.
- [DANIELA] Yeah.
- [DAVID] Quinn, are you okay? Not hurt?
- [QUINN] Yeah.
- Teddy, you all right? You sure?
- I'm good.
- [DANIELA] I'm good.
- [STAMMERS] Tell us what happened.
Quinn, I should have spoken up earlier.
I just didn't want to get in the way
of whatever was going on
between you and Daniela.
[CHUCKLES] You've done nothing wrong.
I'm the one who refused
to give you a chance,
- and I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
It's never too late, you know?
- I was hoping you'd say that.
- [JENNIFER CHUCKLES]
So, how about we go inside
and listen to some amateur music?
I hear the submissions keep pouring in,
and I would love to lend my ears
to the cause.
Well, I'm in, but only if we can dance.
- That can be arranged.
- [TEDDY LAUGHS]
- [DANIELA] Let's get to it then.
- Yeah, let's do it. [CHUCKLES]
[TEDDY CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
Squad goals. Am I right?
Squad goals indeed.
So, that's what he meant when he said
he let the dolphins have it.
Everyone had him all wrong, Ms. Fallow.
He was so much more
than a treasure hunter.
He was a conservationist.
My father, the conservationist.
Thank you for solving the mystery.
Oh, I want you to keep it.
And I want you to keep this too.
I thought you want
your parents to have it,
so they'd finally recognize...
It's okay.
I've realized that whether or not
I make my parents proud, I'm enough.
Our journey together has shown me that.
Uh, Ms. Fallow?
Yes, dear?
Would it be okay if we came back
and visited sometime?
Anytime.
You know what I can't stop thinking about?
What?
This one quote I love by Jacques Cousteau.
"The sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever."
That's beautiful.
- Isn't it?
- [CHUCKLES]
- So take my hand
- Take my hand
- Together we'll reshape this land
- Reshape this land
- Got to make them understand
- Understand
We can change the world
[QUINN CHUCKLES]
Oh, hey oh, way oh, way oh
- [DAVID] Ah! Oh, my gosh.
- [ALL GASPING]
Way oh, way oh, way oh
[TOGETHER] Three, two, one.
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Whoo!
[LAUGHING]
Whoo!
[TEDDY] Whoa!
[INTERNS CHEERING]
We can do it while we're young
[DOLPHIN CLICKING]
We can be heroes if we want
[INTERNS LAUGHING, CHEERING]
We can change the world
From every corner
Blind to every wall or border
Love puts everything in order
We can change the world
Way oh, way oh, way oh
We can do it while we're young
We can be heroes if we want
We can do it while we're young
We can be heroes if we want
We can change the world
Yeah, yeah
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Way oh, way oh, way oh
We can change the world
I feel it coming
I'm ready for it
My heart is soaring
I'm up so high
I choose adventure
I'm taking chances
I'm gonna dance in the open sky
'Cause this is my time
My time
My time
This is my time
My time
My time
[DOLPHINS WHISTLING, CLICKING]
It's a new beginning
Like a new soul
Ready to be living
So precious is the time
Every minute of our lives
Now, don't make me wait
Right now is all I need
And want from you
Don't be afraid
Let's start...
Rusty, Skip, today's the day.
And can you believe it?
I get to spend all summer
snorkeling with Daniela.
Oh, I've missed her so much.
But don't worry,
I promise to bring
some cool shells back from Australia
so we can finally
do a bit of redecorating in there.
Aw, I'll miss you too.
Off I go.
[ADVENTURER, ECHOING]
Is there somebody in here?
Is there something in here?
Are you with me, Tedheads?
My gut says we're not alone.
- [CLINKS]
- [GASPS]
[WHISPERS] I knew it.
[NORMAL] [CLEARS THROAT]
Uh, if there is a spirit present,
please announce yourself.
- [BATS FLAPPING, SQUEAKING]
- [GASPS]
Great. Uh, thanks.
And please, know that I come in peace.
[GASPS] Whoa!
[SNIFFS, GRUNTS]
[BIRDS TWITTERING, CALLING]
What happened?
I did tell you this part
of the tour was optional, right?
There was, uh... I, um...
Listen... Uh, look,
I-I saw... um...
There was a lizard.
A-And it was... huge!
- And really mean.
- [BOTH] Mmm.
But there's something else in there.
More than just a lizard.
I-I can feel it.
- Mm-hmm.
- Me too.
Is it your phone?
Cool. If we come back in a week
the lizard might have
its own lifestyle blog.
"Life lessons with Lizzy."
"Ten life changing tips
for how to catch flies."
Hey, we should head back and shower.
- Quinn's gonna be here soon.
- Okay.
I'll meet you two there.
Thanks for the tour, Daniela.
I can find my way back from here.
- Sure thing. See you in a bit.
- [CHUCKLES]
[ADVENTURER] Mm-hmm.
[SMACKING LIPS]
All right.
Getting my phone and going home.
- Getting my phone and...
- [ANIMAL GROWLING]
[GASPS] Whoa-oa-oa!
Time for me to unplug a bit anyway.
[CHUCKLES]
[DRIVER] What brings you to Dolphin Bay?
[QUINN] I'm here for an internship
at the Center for Marine Biology
with my best friend, Daniela.
- Yeah, she moved here last year.
- Oh, who runs that place now?
- Daniela's dad, Charlie.
- Oh.
He's a world-renowned marine biologist.
He inherited a research center here
on Dolphin Bay
- from his old mentor.
- Uh-huh.
Daniela and I are going to be his interns
for the summer.
Sounds like fun.
And look! Here's Dolphin Bay.
Give me gray and gold
Lighten up my soul
Burning harder
Never gonna let this go
Paint the road like a story told
Shining brighter
Never gonna let this go
I live my life in
I live my life in color
I live my life in
I live my life in color
[CAR HORN HONKS]
You must be Quinn.
Indeed I am.
Ah, nice to finally meet ya.
My name's Nate,
I'm the groundskeeper here.
I live just down there in that cottage.
[STAMMERS] Th-This place is amazing
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, glad you like it.
Uh, come on in.
Daniela and the other interns are
expecting ya.
Other interns?
Wow.
[NATE] Welcome.
What do you think?
[QUINN CHUCKLES] Oh, it's great.
So through here you're gonna...
Um, who's Eyebrows McGee?
Oh, that's Mr. Everly Fallow.
He built this house in the 1920s.
His daughter, Wendy, sold the place
and all of its furnishings to my granddad
- back in the '70s.
- [GASPS]
Wait, y-your grandfather was
Dr. Martin Watts?
The one and only.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Anyway...
He-He's like a founding father
of modern marine biology.
Uh, you-you-you grew up here?
With-With him?
Sure did.
Yeah. I mean, Charlie owns it all now.
I just look after the place.
[LAUGHING] Whoa... Wow. Okay.
I have so many questions for you.
First of all,
what's it like being scientific royalty?
- Overrated.
- [CHUCKLES]
Second of all, is it true Dr. Watts had
a pet octopus named Dmitri?
- Third of all...
- How about,
we talk about him another time.
Yeah.
Uh, okay. [CHUCKLES]
I-I-I'll see you tomorrow.
[QUINN CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
Those brows could really use a tweeze,
don't you think?
[CHUCKLING] Hey, Daniela!
Quinn!
- You got taller.
- And so did you.
Your hair is so long now.
Is that a goat wearing a necklace?
Oh, yeah.
It's from our spring charity event.
- Isn't it adorable?
- [QUINN CHUCKLES]
Hi, Quinn.
Quinn, this is Jennifer.
She's my best friend. [CHUCKLES]
From my new school.
Remember how I told you
I ran for student council vice president,
- and I won?
- Yeah.
Well, Jennifer's the president.
She's the one who encouraged me
to run for it in the first place.
Oh. Wow. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, we organized
the petting zoo together.
It was... It was a sensation.
It was so amazing. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah. We should probably take turns
wearing the shirt though.
But it's so cute.
[DANIELA CHUCKLES]
A-Are you here for the day
on official school business or something?
She's going to be interning
with us this summer.
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
That's...
- fantastic.
- [ALL LAUGH]
Yeah. Come on. I'll give you the tour.
Mmm, perfect. [CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
[DANIELA] And here's your room.
[GASPS] Wow! Check out that view.
It's not bad, huh?
We're just right across the hall.
[CHUCKLES] You two are rooming together?
Yeah, well, two of us had to double up.
And I wanted you to have the view.
Here, take some time to unpack.
- We'll see you in a bit?
- Yeah.
See you later, I guess.
Welcome to the party.
Ah, forgive me. Theodore Wellington.
At your service.
But you can call me Teddy.
And I'm Quinn.
Are you an intern too?
Mmm.
H-How many more are there?
Oh, dozens. It's a verifiable army.
Just kidding. [CHUCKLES]
There's only four of us.
Oh.
So, Quinn, tell me everything.
Where are you from?
- Outside of Savannah. And you?
- Ah.
Well, how much time do you have?
[SUITCASE THUDS]
I'll give you the abridged version then.
I was born in Melbourne,
but I moved to London when I was young,
- and now I go to boarding school...
- [SQUEAKS]
...in Switzerland.
- Ah, I see you packed the essentials.
- [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, my parents are clowns.
Uh, l-like, literally.
Th-They're always playing jokes.
Well, my parents are diplomats.
Clowns sound a lot more fun.
Wow, Teddy, take a hint.
I'm sorry, it's just...
You know, long flight.
[CHUCKLES] I need a nap.
Oh, of course. You must be knackered.
Uh, I'll see you in the lab.
[SIGHING]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES, JINGLES]
[CHUCKLES]
Look at you all,
beaming at me in your lab coats.
This is just... I... I gotta say it.
This is truly squad goals.
- Dad.
- Yeah?
Please don't say, "squad goals."
- Why not?
- Just don't.
Okay. Squad goals aside,
I think it's fairly important
for all of you to realize
that you've arrived here
at a very critical time
in Dolphin Bay's history.
So Dolphin Bay Reef out there,
the very backbone of the marine ecosystem
that we have here,
it's in grave danger.
So we have been measuring the biodiversity
of that reef for the last year,
and we have found out
that the biodiversity has actually dropped
by a full 10%.
All the species that we have here are
so interconnected and interwoven
that the loss of even just one
could have a cataclysmic impact
on the health and the well-being
of all the other species surrounding it.
Maybe think of it like an old sweater.
There's a thread hanging off it,
you pull that thread,
starts to unravel.
Dolphin Bay is unraveling very fast.
Even the dolphins are starting to leave,
and wha-what is Dolphin Bay
without dolphins? Yeah?
Well, I suppose
it would just be called Bay. [CHUCKLES]
Did I just say that out loud?
- Yeah.
- Man.
[INTERNS LAUGHING]
It was dead.
- Didn't seem like it.
- Oh.
That was delicious, David.
Best snapper I've ever had.
Yeah, Pops. You've outdone yourself.
- Aw, please.
- [CHUCKLES] What's your secret?
Uh, good olive oil,
sustainably caught snapper,
of which there is an abundance locally.
- He's also avoiding working on his book.
- That is true.
- I love the tortured artist.
- Mmm.
Ah, but time you enjoy wasting
is not wasted time.
- Okay, ten points to Teddy.
- [ALL MUTTERING]
Very good.
A-plus for you.
- [DAVID CHUCKLES]
- [TEDDY] Thanks.
Psst, I brought my Ouija board
if anyone's interested
in taking a trip to the other side, hmm?
Uh, I also brought Settlers of Catan.
Oh, I love Settlers of Catan!
Maybe some other time, Teddy.
The girls and I actually have
some work to do tonight.
Rain check it is. [CHUCKLES]
Cheerio, ladies.
- [OWL HOOTING]
- [CICADAS CHIRPING]
For our fall charity event,
we're gonna be doing
a battle of the bands.
We have ten slots to fill,
and we've already received 30 submissions.
So, it's time to start narrowing down.
First up we have Taco Tuesday.
- [OFF-KEY NOTES PLAYING]
- [BEAT PLAYS]
That's really good.
You like this?
- Yeah, it's edgy.
- Yeah.
- It's very transgressive. Mmm.
- Mmm.
- He's a little off-key.
- [SCOFFS] Well, yeah,
- that's what's so cool about it.
- Yeah.
If it's not K-pop, Quinn's not interested.
[CHUCKLES, SCOFFS]
What's wrong with K-pop?
I mean, we love BTS.
- [CELL PHONE JINGLES]
- Is it him?
- [JENNIFER CHUCKLES]
- Who?
It's him, isn't it?
Who?
[CHUCKLING] I knew he'd text you back.
Who? Hey, will someone please answer me?
I sound like a great horned owl. [SCOFFS]
[CHUCKLES] Oh, well, his name's Tommy.
He's the smartest guy in our grade.
On the last day of school,
he put his number in Daniela's phone
and she texted him this morning.
And he just answered.
[GASPS] Exciting, isn't it?
Riveting. [CHUCKLES]
[JENNIFER] Well, what did he say?
He said, "Hey."
No way.
- [DANIELA CHUCKLES]
- That's it?
Okay, wait a few hours to respond.
Trust me.
Okay, well, uh, next up we have... [SIGHS]
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- [QUINN] Come in.
That's quite the getup.
Oh, it was custom-made.
And monograms never go out of fashion.
[CHUCKLES]
That's-That's great. [CHUCKLES]
Uh, may I?
[SIGHS]
Can I ask you something, Quinn?
Are you a believer?
A believer in what?
The spirit of adventure.
The power of a good mystery!
The pull of the supernatural.
Oh, I-I-I'm a scientist, Teddy.
I believe in rational thought
and tangible evidence.
[SCOFFS] Oh, but, Quinn,
our two modes of thinking are not,
by any means, mutually exclusive.
Now that we've gotten to know one another...
- Mmm, we have?
- ...I feel like I can be honest with you.
Okay?
I'm not spending this summer
at Dolphin Bay
because I have a particular interest
in marine biology.
Well, I'm not not interested,
it's just not the reason I wake up
in the morning.
Okay, why are you here then?
To search for buried treasure.
Really?
Oh.
I should get back to my book.
This is real, Quinn.
200 years ago,
my great, great, great, great-grandfather...
Wait, that's-that's not right. Um...
My great, great, great,
great, great, great-grandfather,
Henry Wellington, perished in a shipwreck
right off the coast of Dolphin Bay.
He was a storied explorer
and treasure hunter
who vanished
during his first solo expedition.
A chest of priceless family heirlooms
went down with the ship
and, though the wreck itself washed away
centuries ago, my family believes
that the treasure remains around here,
somewhere.
Many have tried and failed to find it.
Now it's my turn.
I'm not going home empty-handed.
Now,
every treasure hunter needs a first mate.
So, Quinn Perkins, what do you say?
Will you be my partner in adventure?
Wha... What evidence do you have
that the treasure actually exists
and isn't just the stuff of family lore?
I've seen the ship's manifest.
- With your own eyes?
- With my own eyes.
I'd show you a photo, but, uh,
I left my phone in a cave.
Well, there was a lizard.
- A lizard?
- Yeah.
Uh, it's a... it's a long story. [CHUCKLES]
I'll think about it.
Ah!
In case you're interested in
familiarizing yourself with my work
in the meantime.
Thank you.
At your service.
What's a Tedhead?
- [OWL HOOTING]
- [CICADAS CHIRPING]
Well, you have to admire his resolve.
[CELL PHONE CLICKS]
[SIGHS]
[SCOFFS]
Mmm.
[EXHALES] Mmm.
[CELL PHONE CAMERA CLICKING]
[DANIELA GASPS]
Did something bite you? I know first aid.
I forgot to text Tommy back.
- [SIGHS]
- I played it so cool,
I forgot to text him back.
Daniela, the key is waiting.
Long enough
so that you don't seem overeager,
but not too long,
otherwise you'll seem uninterested.
Yeah. [SCOFFS]
How do you not know that, Daniela?
- It's like texting 101.
- [CHUCKLES] Exactly.
- Thank you, Quinn.
- She's being sarcastic.
[CHUCKLING] O-Oh.
[NORMAL] I fell for it again.
Text him back. Now.
Well, what should I say?
Or we could go snorkeling.
- I don't know. Have I ruined it now?
- No you haven't ruined it. It's fine, um...
- Have I screwed it up?
- No, no, no, you're fine.
Um, say...
That's what he said.
What are you reading?
Treasure Island. How very appropriate.
Just getting myself in the mood.
Uh, have you given my proposal
any thought?
Look, Teddy,
it's nothing personal, I just...
I'm here for an internship,
not a treasure hunt.
And, statistically speaking, you're
more likely to be struck by lightning
than to find buried treasure.
My cousin, Augustus,
was struck by lightning.
Twice.
Nothing's impossible, Quinn.
But it's all hunky-dory.
I respect your decision.
Great. Snorkeling?
Hmm, not today.
Suit yourself.
I feel it coming
I'm ready for it
My heart is soaring
I'm up so high
I choose adventure
I'm taking chances
I'm gonna dance in the open sky
'Cause this is my time
My time
My time
This is my time
My time
My time
[DOLPHINS WHISTLING]
Yeah
On the road to someplace
No one's ever seen
Gonna dare to blur the lines
It's in my blood and in my veins
Break away
I feel it coming
I'm ready for it
My heart is soaring
I'm up so high
I choose adventure
I'm taking chances
I'm gonna dance in the open sky
'Cause this is my time
My time
My time
Daniela! I saw so much coral
and reef sharks and stingrays.
[GASPS] Oh, and a dolphin.
It came so close. It was amazing. [LAUGHS]
This place is incredible.
And check out this shell I found.
Don't you think
Rusty and Skip will love it?
- Um...
- Who are Rusty and Skip?
- They're my fish.
- Your fish?
Yeah, my pet fish. [CHUCKLES]
Are you being sarcastic this time?
I-I can't tell.
- No.
- Unfortunately, no.
Unfortunately?
Quinn, I'm sorry.
Rusty and Skip will
totally love that shell.
It's perfect.
Now you notice.
So, why couldn't you say that
in front of Jennifer?
And why did you wait until I got here
to tell me about her?
I tried to tell you about her.
So many times.
I just...
I just want things to be how they were.
I know, Quinn.
Things change all the time
and so do people.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GRUNTING]
[EXHALES HEAVILY]
1821!
[CLEARS THROAT]
[EXHALES] Remember that thing I said
about only believing in tangible evidence?
Of course I do. I have an amazing memory.
A coin. From 1821.
Is that from the...
[CHUCKLES]
Just now?
This is exactly as it was described
in the manifest.
Well, there must be hundreds more
where this came from.
I think lightning just struck, Teddy.
You know what this calls for, don't you?
[GRUNTS, EXHALES]
Yeah! Dance with me, Quinn.
[STAMMERS] I don't dance.
We'll work on that.
[TEDDY] Whoo! [GRUNTS]
- [GIGGLES]
- [TEDDY] Yeah!
[TEDDY GRUNTS] Yeah! Whoo!
Let's have ourselves an adventure.
Whoo!
- [LAPTOP CHIMES]
- And action.
Hello, Tedheads.
[EXHALES DEEPLY] Oh, boy.
Have I got some news for you.
Those familiar with my show...
Thanks for watching...
know that I'm spending the summer
interning
at the Dolphin Bay Center
for Marine Biology,
but that I'm really here
as an undercover adventurer
searching for buried treasure.
Wait, why am I whispering?
I-I'm all over the place, guys.
Forgive me.
I'm just very excited because...
[HONKING]
[CLINKS]
Look.
That's right.
It's a coin from Henry Wellington's wreck.
My new best mate, Quinn, found it.
But, uh, she's camera shy
and opted not to appear
in today's episode.
My gut says
there's much more treasure to be found.
Take a look.
Between the shipwreck
and where the coin was discovered,
Quinn and I have a lot of ground to cover.
And oh, boy, Tedheads,
are we going to cover it.
Until we meet again,
stay curious, my friends.
[QUINN] Um, Teddy,
I think you're still rolling.
Nailed it.
[INHALES DEEPLY] So...
- What is it?
- [CHUCKLES] I've been thinking...
Mm-hmm.
Look, I know we still have a lot
of work to do on the battle of the bands...
- Mm-hmm.
- ...and I know it's a little early
to start planning in earnest,
but I think I wanna axe a holiday dance.
It's a bold move,
but I'm listening.
[CHUCKLES]
What if we do a carnival instead?
- Mmm, that's cute.
- Yeah, who doesn't love carnivals?
[LAUGHS] Quinn, for starters.
You know,
I didn't mean to upset her earlier.
I just genuinely couldn't tell
if she was kidding
- about that pet fish thing.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [LAUGHS] I hope she's okay though.
- Yeah, don't worry, it's not you.
I should make more of an effort then.
You know, try make her feel more included.
Yeah, you can, but Quinn just likes
things to be a very certain way.
You know, she's not very big on change.
- Okay, back to the carnival.
- Okay, so...
...and that is how
the moray eel got its spots.
- [MOUTHING] No. No.
- [INTERNS] Wow. Ah.
- Huh?
- [TEDDY] Wow.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
Dolphin Bay After Dark presents,
Nate Watts.
[INTERNS CLAPPING]
You've all seen the portrait that hangs
near the front entrance
of the house, right?
You mean Eyebrows McGee?
Now known as Eyebrows McGee,
but he once went by the name
of Everly Fallow,
and he built the house you're living in.
I love where this is going.
Now, Everly Fallow moved to Dolphin Bay
a hundred years ago
in search of buried treasure.
Oh, my.
- The Wellington family treasure.
- Yes.
Which legend says was lost off the coast
of Dolphin Bay two centuries ago.
It was!
Thank you for confirming that,
Mr. Wellington.
Oh, you're welcome.
I'm loving this. Continue.
Now, Everly dedicated his entire life
to searching for this treasure,
and it drove him mad!
The locals used to wonder,
"Does this man ever sleep?"
Night in, night out,
they'd see him wandering
along the shoreline,
pacing back and forth,
muttering to himself about the lost riches
that forever evaded his greedy grasp.
Everly passed away 50 years ago,
and his bodied is buried up in the cave.
But when the moon is full,
some say you can see his ghost
wandering around Dolphin Bay
searching forever
for a treasure he'll never find.

[CLACKING CONTINUES]
[WOOD SLAMS, RATTLES]

[TEDDY] You heard it too.
I bet it's Everly.
Ghosts aren't real, Teddy.
Then why do you seem so scared?
I'm not.
Good.
Good.
Good.
- Good.
- Because neither am I.
[WOOD SCRAPING, THUDS]
We should investigate.
Definitely.
You go first.
Wow. Didn't Ms. Rational Thought just say
she doesn't believe in ghosts?
[STAMMERS] I don't believe in ghosts,
but I do believe in strange noises.
- [THUDS]
- [HOUSE CREAKS]

How can the sound be coming
from downstairs if there is no downstairs?
[BOTH BREATHING SHAKILY]
[FOOTSTEPS]
[BOOKSHELF CREAKS]
[QUINN, TEDDY SCREAMING]
[ALL LAUGHING]
So, there we all are,
screaming our heads off.
They think I'm the ghost of Everly Fallow.
- [DANIELA LAUGHS]
- That's true.
We didn't even realize
there was a downstairs.
Well, it used to be Everly's library.
It's my office now.
- Ah.
- It's filled with all these old books.
You know, it's very inspiring.
Well, sorry to have spooked you guys
with that little ghost story last night.
It's just a local legend,
nothing to worry about.
Perhaps it isn't a tall tale at all, Nate.
Perhaps it's real.
Uh, not that I think
ghosts are real or anything, okay?
But you were very convincing.
- Yeah.
- [TEDDY] Nice one.
- [NATE] Aw, thanks, Teddy.
- Yeah.
Maybe I missed my true calling
to become an actor.
- [TEDDY CHUCKLES]
- Or at the very least, a podcast host.
[ALL CHUCKLING]
Anyway, hey, as a man of science,
can I assure both of you that
there is no ghost haunting this property?
And also, ghosts aren't real.
Except when it's a full moon.
Teddy, I don't mean for this to sound,
like, snide or anything,
but you're awfully sensitive
to ghost stories
for someone who wants to make a career
out of solving mysteries.
That's a true observation, Daniela.
You're absolutely right.
I'm terrified of the unknown,
which is precisely why I'm drawn to
unsolved mysteries.
And I think
there's no greater unsolved mystery
than that of the great beyond.
I think facing your fears
is a very important part of living.
You know,
the more you understand something,
the less scary it becomes.
And that's why I do what I do.
I think that's wonderful, Teddy.
And, for the record, Quinn was
just as scared as I was last night.
- Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
- [ALL LAUGHING]
[DANIELA] Well, that's not surprising.
What? You change the channel every time
a Lucky Charms commercial comes on.
- [ALL CHUCKLING]
- Oh, no, but tha-tha-that's different.
- Leprechauns are creepy.
- [ALL LAUGH]
[DANIELA] What?
Mammals aren't supposed to have
such tiny hands.
Aren't they?
[CHUCKLING] Well,
I guess everyone knows now.
- [NORMAL] Thanks, Daniela.
- Well...
[SIGHS] Leprechauns.
It's day two,
and I am beyond excited to announce
your first official task
as summer interns.
- Beach cleanup!
- You mean, picking up trash?
Yes! Yes, exactly.
Come on. It's all about paying our dues.
And I promise you that it's all in keeping
with a much larger scientific point.
'Cause it's not just the oceans
that are suffering right now.
It's our beaches as well.
They're being inundated by tons of trash
from fishing vessels,
cruise liners, everything.
So, on behalf of all creatures that call
Dolphin Bay their home...
thank you for your service.
Have fun.
Hey, um,
sorry about the leprechaun slipup.
Yeah, that was a secret.
Honestly, it's more endearing
than it is embarrassing.
You should just own it.
[SCOFFS] Noted.
I don't like all this tension
between us, Quinn.
Oh, really?
You just don't understand how hard it is
to start over.
[STAMMERS] I-I do though.
Hey, you left a-and I had to start over.
That's not the same thing.
I moved to a foreign country.
And I started high school
without my only friend.
[STAMMERS] I-I-I...
I feel like I was in a foreign country.
But you weren't.
Look, Jennifer really took me
under her wing
and I'm grateful to her for that.
Like, this place is finally
starting to feel like home.
So why can't you just be happy for me?
Because you've replaced me.
[TEDDY] Hey, guys.
I'm the creature from the black lagoon.
Get it?
[GROANING]
[GRUNTS] Just forget it.
[TEDDY] Hmm, wait, hold on.
All right, so we'll start here, yeah?
I reckon that snorkeling makes
everything better.
You cover the northern half
and I'll cover the southern half.
Easy-peasy.
Deal?
- Uh, you got a little... we...
- What?
- S-Seaweed. [STAMMERS] up.
- There? No?
- Up. Like... No.
- There?
- There.
- [CHUCKLES]
Oh, this?
Well, I was just saving it for later.
I've always wanted to
photosynthesize my own dinner.
- Delicious and nutritious.
- Mm-hmm.
Let's do this.
- Hey
- Outside the box
Outside the lines
We've always been a little different
Hey
I never dreamt we'd come this far
Yeah, it sure took a while, didn't it?
We are, we are, we are
We are the dreamers
We are, we are, we are
Way up high
So, honey, don't look down
'Cause we're living now
Hey
Hey
[DOLPHIN WHISTLING]
'Cause we are, we are, we are
We are the dreamers
Hey, Tedheads,
who ordered the escargot? [CHUCKLES]
We are, we are...
Uh-oh. We're being watched.
[DOLPHIN CLICKING]
...Way up high
So, honey, don't look down
'Cause we're living now
Hey
Hey
[TEDDY SIGHS]
I was certain we'd find more coins.
Or at least some sign
of the treasure down there.
[SIGHS] Maybe the current swept
the rest away.
Or maybe it's buried on land somewhere.
Well, at least we found some cool shells.
And removed some trash from the ocean.
Yeah, you're right.
Who wants to play a game of...
Ocean Warriors?
I have work to do on my next draft,
so you guys knock yourselves out.
So David is out, apparently,
and Nate is yet to surface
from his cottage, so...
anybody else?
Sorry, Dad, we have
so many band submissions to review.
Mmm, the submissions keep pouring in.
[CHARLIE] Mmm. Quinn and Teddy,
will you be lending your ears
to the cause?
Yeah, you guys are welcome to join us.
Actually, uh, Quinn and I have important
treasure hunting business to attend to.
- [DANIELA] Okay.
- S-Sorry, treasure hunting?
Mmm. Oh, it's just a little side project.
Okay. Just make sure
it doesn't become a distraction.
You know, Teddy,
I am starting to feel a bit distracted,
and that worries me.
A treasure hunt isn't what
I came here to do.
This internship is really important to me.
Are you bailing on me?
I don't know. I might be.
[GRUNTS] It's just that,
Everly Fallow searched his whole life
for the treasure and found nothing,
and we're here for a day
and found an amazing coin.
Why can't we just take that as a win
and move on?
Well, you see, it's...
because
the treasure has nothing to do with it.
For me, at least.
What's it about then?
I have three older brothers.
I'm the youngest,
and my parents don't take me as seriously
as they take my brothers.
And this whole treasure mystery has
haunted my family for so long,
and I figured if I could be the one
to finally find it,
maybe they'll finally take me seriously.
You know, maybe they'll finally be...
proud.
[CHUCKLES LIGHTLY] I... I-I totally get it.
You do?
You know what, Teddy?
After much thought,
I've decided that a treasure hunt sounds
like a very worthy distraction.
Mmm, I'm thrilled to hear you say that,
Quinn.
- Onwards and upwards.
- [BRANCH SNAPS]
Do you hear that?
What is it?
[WIND BLOWING]
Davy Jones's locker.
Look over there.
[QUINN] Remember,
Everly's buried in there.
[TEDDY] Then it has to be his ghost.
There must be an explanation for...
It's the coin.
He wants the coin.
Ghosts aren't supposed to be real.
[TEDDY] Quinn, we gotta go.
[BREATHING SHAKILY] Okay, okay.
What do we do?
[SHAKY BREATHING CONTINUES]
We don't lose our cool. Not yet.
Quinn, a vengeful treasure hunting ghost
just appeared before our very...
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Teddy,
you're jumping to some major conclusions
based on very little evidence,
which is not super scientific of you.
Like, how do you know he's vengeful?
Ma-Maybe he's friendly.
That's what I'm going to choose to believe
until there's ample evidence
that proves otherwise.
Now breathe.
Hey, there you go.
Do you have enough tangible evidence
to believe in ghosts now?
What can I say?
There's no better evidence than
what you could see with your own eyes,
and I'm pretty sure we just saw a ghost.
In all my years,
I've communicated with ghosts,
but I've never actually seen one.
That was a first for both of us.
[SIGHS] How do you feel?
[CHUCKLING] I'm terrified.
And excited.
It appears we've found ourselves
a ghost portal,
so we're in uncharted territory now.

[DOOR CREAKS]
Tommy wants to meet
for ice cream tomorrow.
And he said he can bring Jack
and we can make it a double date.
Already?
Mmm, what are you gonna say?
What should I say?
Um...
Say, "I'd love to."
Love?
Yeah, you're right.
Say, "That sounds fun."
With a winky emoji?
- No emoji.
- Okay.
Perfect.
Sent.
It's great to see it's not just me
who's excited about coming to work today.
Every great adventure
into the scientific unknown
begins with one thing.
A hypothesis.
Now, a hypothesis is like a prediction.
It's like an explanation
for the unexplainable.
So, what I wanna know is
if anybody here has a hypothesis
about what is going on in the bay.
Daniela, you can start.
Um, climate change is heating the sea,
which is killing the fish.
Mm-hmm. Very good.
Jennifer.
Pollution is throwing off
the water's chemical balance.
Excellent. Good job.
Quinn.
The effects of overfishing out at sea
is disrupting the food web.
I like that one.
Very good.
And Teddy.
A snag in the energy field
between our world and the world
of the great beyond has created
some sort of cosmic ripple effect
that's killing the fish.
Or maybe, uh,
the introduction of a new apex predator
has made the place go all wonky.
Yeah, we...
W-We might do that one. Yeah.
So how's the budget looking?
- It's... It's okay.
- Will we make...
My hypothesis is that Everly is no Casper.
He's miffed at us. I can feel it.
And on what are you
basing that hypothesis?
Well,
the fact that he has unfinished business.
Or the fact that,
as you so astutely put it,
we found in a day what he spent
his entire life searching for.
Don't you think that might trigger him
to wanna seek some sort of revenge?
Hmm, he returned you cell phone.
That doesn't feel like revenge to me.
It feels like an act of service.
Do you always have to play
devil's advocate?
It's the only way to encourage
healthy debate.
Well, fine. I know how we can settle this.
I can't believe you travel with this.
Uh, actually, y-yes, I can.
Now, in order for this to work,
we must proceed
with the utmost seriousness,
and we must, above all else, believe.
Do you understand?
[CHUCKLES] Yes, I understand.
But, do you believe?
[EXHALING] Yes, Teddy.
[NORMAL]
I wouldn't have said this a few days ago,
but I believe. [SIGHS]
Or at the very least,
I'm choosing to believe.
Okay, I'll take it.
Touch your fingers to the dial.
Careful. Careful.
All right, slow.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Is there a spirit present?
[TEDDY CHUCKLES LIGHTLY]
Is it the spirit of Everly Fallow?
Okay.
Nothing we didn't already know.
Everly, are you angry with us?
Everly, are you after our coin?
[THUNDER RUMBLES]
Okay, you were right. He's mad.
- What do we do?
- We give him his coin back.
- Okay.
- Come on.
- [BIRD WARBLES]
- [FROGS CROAKING]
[SIGHS] "We must go on,
because we can't turn back."
It's from Treasure Island.
Let's go on then.
[TEDDY] Everly's tomb.
Whatever you do, don't touch that lizard.
They're everywhere.
Noted.
Be careful.
All right, Everly, the coin is yours now.
I always keep a spare shell on me,
just in case.
I respect that.
Here you go, Eyebrows McGee.
May you finally rest in peace.
[SIGHS] That should do it.
Well, Tedheads,
here's something I never thought I'd say.
The treasure hunt is off.
[TRUMPET DRONING]
Though my...
[TRUMPET THUDS]
Tho...
[TRUMPET THUDS]
- Though my ancestor...
- [THUDS]
...Henry Wellington,
was once the treasure's rightful owner,
it appears that through the centuries,
another soul claimed it as his own.
His name is Everly Fallow.
Everly spent his life searching
for the coin Quinn and I found,
and, oh boy, did his ghost let us know it.
I'll tell you more about that one night
when I've had a chance to process it.
[GASPS, STAMMERS] Okay.
In any event,
if we were to have kept the coin
and kept up with our hunt for more,
Quinn and I would have put our own safety,
and the safety of others, in jeopardy.
And no amount of gold or glory
is worth that risk,
so we've left the coin with Everly
at his final resting place
in the Dolphin Bay cave.
So, the hunt rests for now.
In the meantime,
I'm going to take a brief hiatus.
Until we meet again...
stay curious, my friends.
And cut.
Hey, you'll find another way
to make your parents proud.
I know it.
But, for what it's worth,
I'm already proud of you.
Mmm, you know your stuff, Teddy,
and you're very brave.
Thanks, Quinn.
[DOLPHIN WHISTLING]
[DOLPHIN CLICKING]
- [CHARLIE] Guys, look! There's a dolphin.
- [DOLPHIN CLICKING]
You know, if she could talk,
she'd say she's really hungry.
She's been searching high and low
all morning for her favorite snack,
and she just can't seem to find it.
She's not ready to give up on
Dolphin Bay just yet.
That is why we are doing what we're doing.
So what was that first step?
Who can remind me
what that first hypothesis was?
Yeah?
Elevated concentrations of heavy metals
in the water could be having
a deleterious effect on reef biodiversity,
dwindling dolphins' food supplies
and thus driving them away?
Bang on. Well done, Quinn.
So today we're going to collect
some samples
of sea water, coral and sediment
from different locales around the bay,
and tomorrow we're
going to test those samples
for the possible presence
of those heavy metals.
So, any questions?
- Yeah?
- Why are we in a rowboat?
Yeah, that was a serious workout.
[CHARLIE] It's all thanks to the work
of Dr. Martin Watts.
All motorized seafaring vessels,
and that's jet skis, boats, anything,
they were all banned
in Dolphin Bay over two decades ago.
That's strange.
I just... I've seen a big boat
out on the bay and it wasn't this one.
You sure?
Positive. I've seen it three times
in the middle of the night,
just sitting there.
Maybe it was a ghost ship.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
[BIRDS TWITTERING]
[JENNIFER] You excited to see Tommy?
I'm actually pretty nervous.
Nerves are just excitement in disguise.
It'll be fun. Trust me. [CHUCKLES]
I'm not delusional, Teddy.
I know what I saw,
and it wasn't a ghost ship.
No one thinks you're delusional.
[SIGHS] Oh, Daniela does.
And I saw a boat...
No, I've seen a boat
three different times.
I believe you,
and I reckon we'll find out
what it's doing there soon enough.
[QUINN SIGHS]
- [PERSON] How about we go to the beach?
- [PERSON 2] Great idea.
- He likes you. No, he likes you though.
- What if he's changed?
- We don't know that. They're coming.
- It'll be fine...
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, does anyone want ice cream?
I think I'm gonna get strawberry,
because strawberry's my favorite.
I love it. It's just so fun.
Um, I think I might get sprinkles.
Actually, I don't...
I don't think they have sprinkles.
So, I won't get sprin...
- What are... what are you guys gonna get?
- Yeah, um, I'll get the same.
Cool. [CHUCKLES]
- Cool.
- So cool.
[SINGSONGY] Cool.
Cool.
Yeah. Cool.
Should we get some ice cream then?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
The more I think about it,
the more I worry
that we haven't seen the last
of Everly Fallow.
At the end of the day,
all we did was bury a coin in some dirt.
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah, but we...
- I don't mean to belittle our efforts,
but my hypothesis is
that there's more to it.
[SIGHING] Okay.
[NORMAL] How do we test the hypothesis?
That's the thing.
It's a tough one to test.
We don't know much about Everly.
We need a sign to point us
in the right direction.
[SCOFFS] Give us a sign.
- Teddy!
- Argh.
[GRUNTS] That was my first time trying
honeycomb ice cream.
Sorry. Sorry, I'll get you another one.
[GROANING] Oh, man,
[NORMAL] I'm a bloody wreck today.
- [QUINN GASPS]
- What?
- A sign.
- I know. I just said that.
- No, like, an actual sign.
- I heard you the first time, Quinn. I...
Across the street, Teddy.
A give-us-a-sign sign. Look!
[TEDDY GASPS]
Fallow's Antiques.
[GASPING] Yeah.
[TEDDY CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLING] It was so funny.
- Yeah, it was funny.

- [ORNAMENT CLINKS]
- Oh, how may I help you?
- We're sorry to bother you, ma'am.
We were just wondering,
is this shop somehow connected
to Everly Fallow?
Everly Fallow was my father.
[TEDDY] So the legend is true?
Well, my father came to live
in Dolphin Bay,
and yes he came in search
of the Wellington family treasure,
and yes he dedicated his life
in the pursuit of that treasure,
but he never found a thing.
I loved the man,
[CHUCKLES] but he'd read Treasure Island
just one too many times as a kid...
[CHUCKLES]
...and it filled his head with ideas.
Did he ever come close?
To finding anything?
Well, he claimed to.
I mean, just before he died,
he said to me, "Wendy, I found it.
And I let the dolphins have it."
I was never quite sure
what he meant by that.
Well, maybe it meant
that he did come close.
No, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
He wasn't making too much sense
by that stage.
And I suppose your next question
is going to be about his ghost.
- Have you ever seen it?
- Not once.
Have you?
Well, interesting.
You don't believe us.
No, it's not that.
It's just that,
so many people have seen him,
and, well, I never have.
I mean... [SCOFFS]
...makes a girl feel
a bit overlooked, you know?
Well, after my father died,
I sold every one of his belongings
to Dr. Watts
when he bought the house from me,
but I just couldn't part with
that journal.
I found it hidden in his library.
Who was Jim H.?
Pardon?
Uh, the last line. You know,
"The rest is between me, Jim H. and God."
I never figured that bit out.
My father didn't know any Jim H.'s.
Trust me, I did my research.
[SIGHS] That's really strange.
Well, thanks for your time, Ms. Fallow.
It was lovely to meet you.
Of course, dear. Come back anytime.
Oh, and if you do see my father,
tell him I said hello.
We certainly will.
Yo, Tedheads.
Do you know what time it is?
Uh, night?
Wait, what are you doing here?
Charlie sent me to come pick you up.
You missed dinner.
Oops.
- Yeah, big oops.
- [CUCKOO CLOCK CHIMING]
You wear many hats, Nate.
Groundskeeper, storyteller, bounty hunter.
Right.
Let's, uh, get the bikes
in the back of the truck, hey?
Charlie is equal parts worried
and furious.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, it's just so moving.
We have to pick them. I love it.
[QUINN SIGHING]
[INHALES SHARPLY]
[INHALES SHARPLY, GRUNTS]
Are you okay, Quinn?
I want to talk about our next move.
What is it? We can't lose momentum.
Well, I think the best thing we can do
for ourselves right now is, um, rest.
It'll keep us out of trouble,
and hopefully we can get back
in Charlie's good books.
And how do you suggest we do that?
[GRUNTS] My brain's moving
at a thousand miles per second.
Reading usually helps me.
Uh, I-I don't feel like reading.
[INHALES SHARPLY] I'll try to meditate.
Have you ever meditated before?
No. I mean, it can't be that hard.
- [BREATHES DEEPLY]
- Um, I think you're supposed to get...
- Shh!
- Okay.
- Davy Jones's locker!
- What?
Jim Hawkins!
- Who's that?
- The protagonist of Treasure Island,
his name is Jim Hawkins.
Wendy said her father read this book
too many times as a kid.
"The rest is between me, Jim H. and God."
David's office.
Everly's library.
I'm on it.
[FOOTSTEPS]
- Quinn. Well, I'm glad you're back safely.
- Mmm.
Is everything okay?
Yes, sorry to bother you, David.
It's just, I just finished my book
and I need to start a new one.
Do you mind if I grab something
off the shelf?
Oh, no. Of course. Come on down.
Just, uh, watch your step.
[QUINN GASPS]
- [DAVID] It's pretty cool, huh?
- [CHUCKLING] Yeah.
[DAVID] The personal collection
of Everly Fallow.
Most of these are first editions.
- Uh, have you read them all?
- Pretty much.
It can be inspiring to read the classics.
A little intimidating too,
which is probably contributing
to the old writer's block. [INHALES]
Is there something in particular
you're looking for?
Oh, um...
- this will do.
- Great.
Thanks, David.
How's the writing going?
Oh, well, I am currently researching
gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipes.
So, not great.
Ah. Thanks again.
- [DAVID SIGHS]
- Good night.
[GRUNTS]
[QUINN CHUCKLES]
- No way.
- Way.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[QUINN] "If you're here, protect it."
That's rather ominous.
[TEDDY] There's nothing here.
It's just the book.
[SIGHS]
[TEDDY GASPS] Everly made a treasure map.
Davy Jones's locker.
[TEDDY] And it's buried at the lighthouse.
[QUINN GRUNTING]
[TEDDY SIGHS] Come on, Quinn.
It's past midnight.
- Let me take over.
- Never.
There's enough epinephrine coursing
through my veins to power a small city.
I'm hulking out.
[METAL CLANGS]
[TEDDY BREATHING HEAVILY]
I'll let you do the honors,
Mr. Wellington.
[TEDDY EXHALING DEEPLY]
- [TREASURE CLINKING]
- It can't be!
[STAMMERS] There's just seashells.
Uh, keep digging.
It's a secret journal.
[CHUCKLES]
"If you're here,
you're about to learn the truth.
A truth I couldn't bear to take
to the grave with me."
[QUINN YAWNING]
Tell me that was not a yawn.
The adrenaline must be starting
to wear off.
- I'm crashing.
- Don't you fall asleep on me.
[SNORING]
[GRUNTS]
- The treasure is...
- Ooh, give me a second.
[GRUNTS] Okay, go on.
The treasure is stuck in a cave
beneath Dolphin Bay Reef.
The wreck of Henry Wellington's ship
settled on top of the mouth
of a giant underwater cave.
The treasure fell into that cave
and debris from the ship
blocked the entrance to it.
Over the centuries, that debris helped
anchor a new section of the reef
and so,
the only way to get to the treasure
- is to destroy...
- Destroy the reef.
Exactly.
Then that's what Everly meant
when he said he let the dolphins have it.
To him, the reef was the real treasure.
He refused to destroy it.
[CHUCKLING] How does it feel?
[NORMAL] You just solved the mystery
that's haunted your family for centuries.
We solved it, Quinn!
What an auspicious debut for us! [LAUGHS]
You know what this calls for, don't you?
- Whoo! Whoa!
- [CHUCKLING]
[TEDDY] Come on! [LAUGHS]
Can't have my love
Whoo!
I think you're crazy
Can't have my heart
- [QUINN] Whoo!
- [TEDDY] Whoo! [LAUGHS]
Good afternoon, Tedheads.
I'm back, and I'd like
to officially introduce you to Quinn,
- my partner in all things adventure.
- [CHUCKLES]
Lovely to meet you, Tedheads.
This right here is Everly Fallow's
secret journal,
and it hasn't seen the light of day
in nearly 50 years,
and we found it beneath the foundation
of what is now the Dolphin Bay Lighthouse.
X marks the spot.
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
Today is the day, ladies and gentlemen.
Today, we test our first ever hypothesis.
So, yesterday, we were out in the bay
getting our samples
of coral, sea water and sediment, yeah?
Today, we are going to test
those respective samples
for the presence of these heavy metals.
Let's do this.
- Shout about it
- Hey
Keep it coming
I'm going out
Nobody telling me nothing, no
- Dress it up to the top
- Hey!
It don't matter if you're showing it off
Yeah
Shake it, shake it
Shake it down now
Make it, make it
We make a wild sound
'Cause we're wild
But we're free
And we're dancing
The whole day long
So wake up and get out
And be free
And keep moving it on
Oh, whoa
We make a wild sound
So...
what did we learn?
That we were wrong.
Did I just say that out loud?
[QUINN WHISPERS] Yeah.
We learned that the concentrations
of each of the five metals
are just within their normal ranges.
Yeah. Meaning?
[JENNIFER]
Meaning our hypothesis was wrong
and the chemical makeup of the water
probably isn't what's having an effect
on the bay's dwindling biodiversity.
Yes! Yes.
Guys, it is awesome to be wrong,
because you're being pointed
in the right direction
to the right answer.
Yeah, sure, it would've been nice
to be right the first time. I get that.
Don't be discouraged.
Seriously, great work today.
Teddy, I've been thinking.
Uh-oh.
If Everly Fallow died
knowing where the treasure was,
then there would be no reason
for his ghost to roam the cove
searching for it.
But we both saw him.
We both saw something.
Maybe it wasn't a ghost.
You don't believe anymore.
Okay, let's not make this a referendum
on whether or not I believe.
I'm just following the facts.
Come on.
[SIGHS] Wait for me.
You think it was a person posing
as a ghost?
That's my new hypothesis.
We had something they wanted,
and they thought they'd scare us
into handing it right to them.
And we did hand it right to them.
Someone's clearly been here.
[GASPS] And now it's gone.
How would they have even known
it was here?
Maybe they're a Tedhead.
I mean, we literally showed them
the map pointing right here.
My followers really have been
paying attention.
I think it's safe to conclude then,
in this case,
there's no ghosts at large, hmm?
Just a potentially dangerous criminal
doing elaborate pranks.
You think it's the same person
that's driving the boat you keep seeing?
Now my gut says yes.
- [LIZARD GROWLS]
- Ah, buh, buh. You stay right there.
I'm watching you.
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
[GASPS]
- [SIGHING] Oh.
- [SIGHING] Oh, you scared me.
Just wondering where you were.
Quinn, where's the journal?
- It's in your room.
- It's not in my room.
[QUINN] It's gone.
[TEDDY] Where else could it be?
Hey, was the house broken into
while we were gone?
What? Of course not.
Did you see anyone go into my room?
Well, I haven't been standing guard
in the hallway.
- Did anyone else come upstairs?
- Just my dads.
And Nate.
- Nate?
- Nate?
Yeah. I saw him walking down the hall
when I went to the bathroom earlier.
- Upstairs?
- Upstairs?
Yeah.
[WHISPERS] What?
Yesterday, when Nate picked us up,
he said, "Yo, Tedheads."
I didn't think anything of it then, but...
- Does he own a boat?
- Yeah. Why?
We need to go to the marina. Now.
Nate is like family.
He would never steal from us.
[JENNIFER]
I saw a boat the other night too.
The same one you must've seen.
I mean, it was just sitting there.
[SIGHS] Whatever's going on,
she's not making it up.
[SIGHS]
Uh, but if we're not back in an hour,
please tell them, hmm?
[QUINN] Teddy, that's the boat I've seen.
It must be Nate's boat.
[GASPS]
- [TEDDY] Is that a drill?
- [QUINN] Oh, my gosh.
He's going to destroy the reef.
We've got to stop him.
We must go on because we can't go back.
Let's go on then.
[QUINN]
Can you figure out how the drill works?
[GRUNTS]
[GASPS] He's coming back.
What do we do?
Over here.
[QUINN] Hurry up. Close it.
- Pull, Teddy! Come on!
- [STRAINING] Come on!
[DOOR SHAKES]
[TEDDY PANTING]
Hey! Hey, look.
- The coin.
- [GASPS]
Y-You were right. It was never a ghost.
[MOTOR STARTS, RUMBLING]
[TEDDY GRUNTS]
Whoo!
You really saw a boat?
Quinn did seem pretty scared.
But Nate, it just...
It doesn't make any sense.
[THUMPING]
[QUINN BREATHING SHAKILY]
Hey, I'll distract him,
you find the drill's power source
and cut it.
I like that plan.
Okay. One, two, three!
- [DOOR THUMPING]
- [GRUNTING]
Nothing's working!
Give it up, Quinn!
You ain't getting out.
Nate, what are you doing?
[MOTOR DRONES]
[CHUCKLES]
You know exactly what I'm doing.
What would your grandfather think?
He'd be angry. Which is the point.
See, Quinn, I was next in line
- to inherit the research center.
- [NO SIGNAL TONE]
My plan was to sell it and use the money
to finally get out of this place.
But see, Granddad, he...
he had other ideas.
He thought the center would fall
into disrepair if he left it with me.
[SCOFFS]
I guess...
I guess, in his eyes, I wasn't enough.
So he left everything to Charlie.
[NATE] Exactly.
Well, everything except this...
luxury vessel.
And what have you been doing
in the bay at night?
I've seen your boat out there
and I know you're up to something.
I'm just doing a bit of fishing, Quinn.
Yeah, figured I could ruin
Granddad's legacy
and make a bit of money for my travels.
It's easy. I just pull exotic species
from the water and sell 'em.
Oh,
those scorpion fish are worth a fortune.
It sounds like you've been doing
a bit of overfishing.
For how long?
Oh, about a year now.
[GASPS] The reef is dying
because of you, Nate!
You're decimating its biodiversity!
The ripple effect has been catastrophic!
No wonder the dolphins are fleeing!
No wonder the dolphins are fleeing!
- [MOTOR STARTS]
- Sorry, Quinn, um,
I didn't actually hear that.
Can you repeat it?
The engine is very loud.
Actually, never mind.
I'm sure it wasn't that important.
[MOTOR HUMS]
Their phones keep going to voice mail.
It's almost been an hour.
[DANIELA] That's Nate's boat.
Go call the police and get my dads.
Now!
I'd just about made enough money
from the fishing
to leave the town and never look back,
and then you two arrived.
If Teddy hadn't posted about the coin
on his stupid vlog...
- It's not stupid.
- Thank you.
...I never would have realized
the Wellington family treasure
actually existed.
I thought it was just a legend.
So, I figured,
if I could get my hands on that coin,
sell it,
then I'd be on the first flight
out of here.
Stealing it would have been too obvious.
I mean,
you two never let it out of your sight.
Look.
[NATE] But when I realized
how scared you two got
over my little ghost story,
I saw the perfect opportunity.
I could bring
- the legend of Everly Fallow...
- [GLASS TAPPING]
- ...to life.
- [GASPS]
[TEDDY] By pretending to be his ghost.
[NATE] Exactly. Very good, Teddy.
[LAUGHS] And it worked!
You handed the coin straight to me,
and today,
as I was watching your terrible vlog,
I saw you found Everly's secret journal,
- which meant there was so...
- [BOTH] Whoo.
[NATE] ...much more to the story.
Luckily for me,
you left the journal in plain sight,
which showed me exactly
where the treasure was actually buried.
So then I figured,
why settle for just one coin,
when I could have a whole chest
of coins? [CHUCKLES]
Which leads us here.
And now, the treasure will be mine
and I can leave this town in the dust.
[DRILL WHIRRING]
[GASPS, PANTING]
[QUINN] Your grandfather dedicated
his life to the bay,
and you're destroying it for money.
How could you do such a thing?
[NATE] It's really not that hard, Quinn.
My grandfather chose the bay over me.
So destroying it will be
the cherry on top of the ca... [YELLS]
[SPLASHES]
The cherry on top of the what?
Daniela!
Quinn, I am so sorry I didn't believe you.
[SIGHS, CHUCKLES]
It doesn't matter now.
[CHUCKLES] You saved us.
You saved the reef.
Quinn, I didn't...
I didn't mean what I said before.
[QUINN] Me too.
But I acted selfishly and I'm sorry.
I've just had such a tough time being...
e-existing without you.
And making new friends
has been impossible,
and when I got here
and saw you with Jennifer,
I couldn't help but feel replaced.
No one could ever replace you, Quinn.
It's a new chapter for us.
Into the unknown we go.
Together.
And without fear.
- [SPLASHING]
- [BOAT THUMPING]
[GRUNTS]
That was beautiful.
Truly heartwarming.
- [SIREN BLARES]
- [POLICE OFFICER] Hey! Nate Watts.
You're under arrest for illegal fishing
in an unauthorized area
and the kidnapping of two minors.
Keep your hands where we can see them.
Nice try, ghost man.
[RADIO CHATTER]
- [DAVID] Daniela! Are you okay?
- [CHARLIE] Daniela, you okay?
- Oh, goodness.
- [DANIELA] Yeah.
- [DAVID] Quinn, are you okay? Not hurt?
- [QUINN] Yeah.
- Teddy, you all right? You sure?
- I'm good.
- [DANIELA] I'm good.
- [STAMMERS] Tell us what happened.
Quinn, I should have spoken up earlier.
I just didn't want to get in the way
of whatever was going on
between you and Daniela.
[CHUCKLES] You've done nothing wrong.
I'm the one who refused
to give you a chance,
- and I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
It's never too late, you know?
- I was hoping you'd say that.
- [JENNIFER CHUCKLES]
So, how about we go inside
and listen to some amateur music?
I hear the submissions keep pouring in,
and I would love to lend my ears
to the cause.
Well, I'm in, but only if we can dance.
- That can be arranged.
- [TEDDY LAUGHS]
- [DANIELA] Let's get to it then.
- Yeah, let's do it. [CHUCKLES]
[TEDDY CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
Squad goals. Am I right?
Squad goals indeed.
So, that's what he meant when he said
he let the dolphins have it.
Everyone had him all wrong, Ms. Fallow.
He was so much more
than a treasure hunter.
He was a conservationist.
My father, the conservationist.
Thank you for solving the mystery.
Oh, I want you to keep it.
And I want you to keep this too.
I thought you want
your parents to have it,
so they'd finally recognize...
It's okay.
I've realized that whether or not
I make my parents proud, I'm enough.
Our journey together has shown me that.
Uh, Ms. Fallow?
Yes, dear?
Would it be okay if we came back
and visited sometime?
Anytime.
You know what I can't stop thinking about?
What?
This one quote I love by Jacques Cousteau.
"The sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever."
That's beautiful.
- Isn't it?
- [CHUCKLES]
- So take my hand
- Take my hand
- Together we'll reshape this land
- Reshape this land
- Got to make them understand
- Understand
We can change the world
[QUINN CHUCKLES]
Oh, hey oh, way oh, way oh
- [DAVID] Ah! Oh, my gosh.
- [ALL GASPING]
Way oh, way oh, way oh
[TOGETHER] Three, two, one.
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Whoo!
[LAUGHING]
Whoo!
[TEDDY] Whoa!
[INTERNS CHEERING]
We can do it while we're young
[DOLPHIN CLICKING]
We can be heroes if we want
[INTERNS LAUGHING, CHEERING]
We can change the world
From every corner
Blind to every wall or border
Love puts everything in order
We can change the world
Way oh, way oh, way oh
We can do it while we're young
We can be heroes if we want
We can do it while we're young
We can be heroes if we want
We can change the world
Yeah, yeah
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Way oh, way oh, way oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Way oh, way oh, way oh
We can change the world
I feel it coming
I'm ready for it
My heart is soaring
I'm up so high
I choose adventure
I'm taking chances
I'm gonna dance in the open sky
'Cause this is my time
My time
My time
This is my time
My time
My time
