Yeah...

Whoo!

Gia!

Did You See?

I Did It!

I Actually Did It.

All Right, Sydney!

You Finally Did It.

You Surfer Girl!

Hey!

Hey!

[Whistle Calls]

Hey, Dry Dock!

Surf's Up.

Gia:
Whoo! Go, Boy!

You And Kona,

Are You, Like...

Tight?

Yeah. He's My Boy.

So You Like Him?

Completely. Hey,

He's My Best Friend.

He's Almost Like A--

Wait A Second.

You Mean Like Him

Like Him?

Yeah.

[Laughing]

Kona?

No Way.

Not Like That.

Why? Do You?

Hey, That's Awesome.

He'll Be Stoked.

Hey, Kona!

No, No, No, No!

You Can't.

I'd Just Die.

Ok. Fine.

Promise?

But He'd Definitely

Be Stoked.

You Think So?

Oh, Yeah.

Is He As Together

As He Seems?

Best Part?

He's A Great Listener.

You Can Tell Him

Almost Anything.

Really?

And You Know

Those Cartoons

In The Clubhouse?

They're His.

He Drew Those?

Oh, Yeah.

Kona's A Star.

Hey, But Don't Get

Too Excited.

'Cause Under All

That Nuggetry,

He's Still

A Thick-Headed

Gross-Out Boy

Just Like

The Rest Of Them.

Hey.

Come On, Move It.

We've Got Waves

To Catch.

I Think I'll Just

Hang It Up While..

You Know, While I'm Ahead.

Stop. Come On,

It'll Be Perfect,

Just Like Before.

Come On.

Yeah. That's The Way.

You Got It.

Ok. Now Sit Up.

Good. Turn Around.

No. Sydney!

Not This One!

Oh! Hang On!

Is She Gonna Be

All Right, Gia?

Somebody

Go Get My Mom.

Go Get Malia.

Hurry.

Is It That Bad?

You'll Be Ok.

I Mean,

A Little Dinged,

But No Permanent

Damage.

Uh!

[Rope Creaking]

[Low Moan]

[Startled Gasp]

[Wind Chimes

Ringing Gently]

[Moan]

[Moan]

Uh-Uh-Uh.

Stop Feeling

Sorry For Yourself.

You're Fine.

Do You Remember

What Happened?

I Think So.

I Don't Really Want

To Talk About It.

Oh. Tell Me.

It Was In Slow Motion.

Scary, But...

Not Scary,

At The Same Time.

Like I Was Watching

The Whole Thing

From Someplace Else.

Like I Was Some Other Person

Watching Myself Drown.

Well, You Drink This.

Drink It.

Mmm!

Good, Yeah, That.

What Is It?

Old Island Cure,

A Secret From

The Menehuene--

The Little Ones.

Bring It

In The Night

When No One

Can See.

You're Teasing Me.

No. It's Always

At Night.

If They're Caught

By The Sun,

They...They

Turn To Stone.

Everyone Knows That.

Why Are You Staring

Like That?

Oh, You're So Much

Like Her.

Like Who?

Gia:
Hey, Mom.

Hey.

How's The Head?

Ok.

But I Sure

Messed Up, Huh?

I Thought

It Was All Over.

Nah. The Wave Would've

Spit You Out.

No Big Thing, Yeah?

How About Kona?

Is He Ok?

Well, His Cast

Is A Little Soggy,

But You Made Him

A Hero.

He's Stoked.

He Wants To Know When

You're Going Back Out.

In The Water?

How About The Week

After Never?

Never's A Long Time.

Sydney:
Are They

All Yours?

My Mom's, Mostly.

She Surfs, Still?

Malia:
Hey. I Heard That.

Well, Not That You're

Old Or Anything.

I Didn't Mean That.

Uh-Huh.

Sydney:
Oh, No.

I Can't Believe

I Wrecked It.

Yeah, Well, Maybe

Mom Can Fix It.

Really? Could You?

She's The One

You Remind Me Of.

There Was A Real

Naniloa?

Absolutely.

That Was Her Nickname--

Your Mother.

Are You Serious?

Mm. This Was Hers.

When I First Saw It,

I Felt Something...

Like I Could

Just Tell.

Were You Friends,

You And My Mom?

Like Sisters.

Ever Since

We Were Little,

We Did Everything

Together.

Your Dad Never

Mentioned Anything?

He Doesn't Talk Much,

Not About Her.

Well, She Was Amazing,

Always Laughing.

It Was Contagious.

She Made Everybody Smile.

And Full Of Energy, Huh?

She Would Walk

Into A Room,

And You Could

Almost See It.

It's So Strange...

Hearing About Her,

Having Something

That Was Hers.

It Almost

Makes Her Real.

I Wanna Show You

Something.

Look. See?

We Gotta Climb.

Come On.

Sydney:
It's The Most

Beautiful Place

I've Ever Seen.

The Whales Come Here

With Their Young

Every Year

About This Time.

It's An Extraordinary

Place, Sacred.

Have You Ever Seen Them?

Mm-Hmm.

And The First Time

Was With Your Mom.

We Were A Little

Younger Than You,

And Your

Great-Grandmother

Brought Us.

There's A Welcoming

Ceremony.

It's A Celebration

Naniloa Thought

Was Magical.

She Said

It Was Something

She'd Never Forget.

Could You Bring Me?

I Mean, If They Come

While I'm Here.

Could You?

It's Like Being

Offered A Gift,

Seeing The Whales.

You Have To Be

Ready For It.

Sydney:
Hello?

Anybody Home?

Probably Called Out

The National Guard By Now.

No. They Can't Be

That Worried.

Elizabeth:
Sydney?

Is That You?

Or Maybe They Can.

Should I Tell Them?

It's Up To You.

Oh, We've Been

So Worried.

Your Father's

Out There Right Now

Looking Everywhere

For You.

What Happened?

Are You All Right?

Yeah. It's Nothing,

Just A Little Cut.

I'm Fine.

This Is Gia's Mom--

Malia.

She Took Care Of Me.

Thank You So Much.

Really.

You Didn't Get

Stitches, Did You?

What'd You

Hit It On?

It's No Big Deal,

Honest.

She's Fine.

[Car Door]

Ben? She's Here.

[Footsteps]

You're Safe.

Thank Heaven.

Where Have You Been?

What Happened?

I...

I, Uh...

Well...

I Know I Wasn't

Supposed To, But...

Being A Part Of It...

Not Being Stuck

On The Outside,

But Really Being

A Part Of Something,

I Always Wanted That.

What Are You

Talking About, Baby?

You're Not

Making Sense.

Well...

I Went Surfing

With The Other Kids.

What?!

I'm Sorry, But...

I Know You Didn't

Want Me To Go Out There,

But I Had To Try--

To See If I Could Do It.

And Then I Fell, But...

I Didn't Get Hurt,

Not Seriously.

So There's Nothing

To Worry About,

Right, Dad?

Go To Your Room,

Sydney.

But, Dad--

To Your Room. Now.

That's Not Fair.

I Just--

Sydney!

Ben:
How Could You Do This?

Malia:
She Wanted It.

You Heard Her.

This Has Nothing

To Do With Me.

I'm Supposed

To Believe That,

That You Weren't Out There

Cheering Her On,

Filling Her Head

Full Of Stories?

Well, You Certainly

Haven't Been.

Everything Is Completely

Foreign To Her.

You've Never Even

Mentioned My Name.

Why? Why Haven't You

Told Her, Ben?

I Am Not Gonna

Let Her Get Hurt.

That Is The Bottom Line.

She Needs To Know

Who She Is

And Where

She Comes From.

She Does.

No. You've

Kept Her From It.

You Whisked Her Away,

And You've Cut Her Off.

I Have Tried To Do

What's Best For Her.

That Is All

I Care About.

I've Never Seen Him

Like This.

He's So...

I Know.

It'll Be Ok.

She Oughta Be Grabbing

Life With Both Hands,

But You've Got Her

So Scared, So...

Don't Make It Sound

So Simple.

Use What's Here, Ben.

The Ocean

Is A Great Healer.

And A Great Destroyer.

No. If You'd Just Seen Her

Out There With Gia.

She Is A Natural,

Just Like Her--

Leave Her Alone,

Malia.

Back Off.

You Can't Protect Her

Forever.

I Can Try.

Stop Running

From It, Ben.

Pry It Open,

This Lid You've Got

Clamped Down So Hard.

Let It Go.

Let Things Heal.

[Car Door]

[Sigh]

Elizabeth:
She's Not

Entirely Wrong.

I Didn't Even Know

You Were There.

That's Part

Of The Problem.

Things Will Be Fine

Once We're Back Home,

Away From This Place.
