[sighs] Time to reel in the big one.
Let's see you reel in anything without your power cord.
Which the Surfside Girls have already taken.
[computer beeping, trilling]
What?
[Pfeiffer typing]
[device whirring]
The machine is still functioning. I must find Sam and Jade.
[Jade] If this crystal cavern is the real treasure of Surfside,
then it all makes sense.
Dr. Pfeiffer calibrated her machine to find these quantum crystals
using the crystal Kimber gave her.
- Gave her? Or flung at her in anger? - Something like that.
But now we know it's her machine causing the erosion of Danger Point.
We did it, Sam! We solved the mystery!
- We solved some of it. - What do you mean?
The Lady wrote "peligro" and went through all of this trouble
to hide her quantum crystal.
Maybe she didn't want it to go into the wrong hands.
This cavern isn't just treasure. It's cursed treasure.
[sighs] Sam, that's just a legend. Doesn't mean it's real.
That's what you said about the Obsidian Flyer.
Right. Definitely not a buoy.
- Oh! - [grunting]
Ancient evil! See? It's cursed.
Let's just get out of here! [pants]
[both grunting]
[breathes heavily]
[both grunting]
The entrance is blocked.
We're trapped.
[both shriek, grunting]
Surfside Girls
[chuckles] I-I know we're trapped in a cave,
but I mean, at least the last earthquake opened this.
It's so pretty. Kind of makes you forget that it's cursed treasure.
[grunts] Something tells me Dr. Pfeiffer powered up her machine without this.
- We gotta get out of here. - Where's our ghost?
[both] Remi!
They didn't plop.
Someone switched our real doubloons for the museum fakes!
Happy Summer Festival!
Olsen's Ghost Tours are offering rides to the carnival site in Zone A.
Cash or credit only. No bartering.
Course, I wouldn't turn down
a cup of soup or a pair of compression socks.
Sam?
Jade?
Are you here?
[medallion humming]
[huffs] The lighthouse dweller stole the Surfside Girls' doubloons.
Sam!
Jade!
Where are you?
[Sam] We're trapped! Help us!
Can anybody hear us? Is anyone out there? Help!
- [panting] - No one can hear us.
It's no use.
- Poppets, come! - [gasps]
I've warned you about lollygagging in the cavern. Consider my debt repaid.
[Jade] Oh, no.
Since today's rising sun, our ship has been vanishing at a swift pace.
I fear once we lose the raven head…
we will be next.
No. That's not gonna happen.
[Jade] We know who's causing it.
We're gonna stop her and save your home.
[Sam] We gotta find Remi!
Hey, get your tickets to the Summer Festival!
We've got rides in Zone A and food in Zone B and j-- fun everywhere!
[laughs] All proceeds go to the Surfside Preservation Committee.
Eat a funnel cake, save a landmark. [chuckles]
- [Amy clears throat] - [Mei-Lin] How many tickets?
It's five to play games, seven to ride the Ferris wheel,
ten for the Tilt-a-Whirl,
but don't confuse it with the Whirl-and-Whip.
That makes your eyeballs pop out of your eyeholes.
In a fun way.
Hmm.
Have fun!
Hey, how are ticket sales?
- Great. We're gonna need another roll. - On it!
How did you get Amy to volunteer for our committee?
She offered.
After a little mother-daughter talk about focusing.
[Monica] Think it'll stick this time?
[sighs]
Does the whole town think I have no focus?
- [volunteer] I'll be back. - [Monica] Got it.
[cell phone rings]
Hey, Dad! I miss you!
The only ride Mom said she'll go on
is the coin-operated horse, and only 'cause it's out of order.
[Fong chuckles] Hey, Ames.
[announcer] Now boarding flight 588 to San Francisco.
Where are you? What's all that noise?
I'm at the airport. This is my last layover.
- You're coming home? -I'll be there in about an hour.
Yes! Dad, I'm so excited! You have no idea.
Li-- Listen, don't tell your mom. I want this to be a surprise.
Aw. She'll love that.
Wait! I can help.
We can surprise Mom with a picnic by the courtyard.
I'll pick up Mom's favorite dim sum. Ooh, we should have flowers.
And pillows.
Mom's gonna be eating on the ground? She's gonna wanna be comfortable.
It's a great idea, Amy.
One hour. Courtyard.
You can count on me, because I'm a camera.
[chuckles]
Where did that Olsen go?
That old man moves like a cheetah! An old cheetah, but still.
- [Sam] Remi! Remi, there you are. - [Jade] Remi!
Someone stole our doubloons.
And that someone swindles tourists with a phony ghost tour.
[mid-tempo music playing]
- [static buzzing] - [music stops]
[Petey sighs] Not again!
My air dancer's not dancing. How are we going to advertise tortas?
Hey, I know you're nervous about debuting our new item--
If Surfsidians reject tortas, that means they reject our culture.
And if they reject our culture, I say we reject them
and move out of Surfside.
- Petey-- - I have to protect the meat.
Oh, do not open the fridge. I repeat, do not open the fridge!
You'll let the cold air out.
Dial down the panic. It's just another brownout.
My gut says that wasn't just another brownout.
[sighs sharply] My intestines agree.
The Pfeiffer said she was reeling in the big one.
Then she turned on her machine, and the ground shook like a rabid wolf.
We felt it. So, she not only found the cursed treasure, she's taking it.
Which is the entire cavern.
Extracting it would crumble all of Danger Point.
Ancient evil will be unleashed, destroying my home and yours.
Remi…
The only thing left of the Obsidian Flyer is the raven head.
[sighs] Then I fear we may be too late.
No, we are not too late! We can't let Pfeiffer get away with this.
If we could get her passcode, then maybe we could shut her system down.
But she won't just give that to us.
Wait. Maybe she would.
Remember, Pfeiffer doesn't know that we know what she's doing is wrong.
So the smart thing to do is play dumb.
Let's go!
I have no idea where we're going or why. But let's do this!
[Monica] So, you haven't sold any tortas?
[Bob] Not getting a ton of foot traffic. Everyone left after the outage.
[Petey] Mom, this perfectly fresh guacamole is all wasted!
Poor Petey.
[call disconnects]
- Hello? Hello? - [Mei-Lin] Let me see what I can do.
[sighs] Cell towers must be down too.
Monica, since the rides aren't running, people are asking for their money back.
How many people?
Ooh, okay. [inhales deeply] Okay.
We'll shuttle water and snacks over to Zone A.
Tell them the power will be restored shortly,
and if they ask for refunds, just give 'em more water and snacks.
- Got it. - [sighing]
Uh, can I steal you two?
All right, listen up. Let's pull out the swag.
Maybe people won't ask for refunds
if they get free Preservation Committee tote bags? Yeah. [sighs]
Come on.
Mom? Mom?
Ugh. I had one job!
[Jade] Dr. Pfeiffer?
What are you doing here?
I might ask you the same thing.
This area's off-limits to hikers.
[Jade] My mom's on the Preservation Committee,
so I borrowed her key.
I just needed to get away from the festival crowd for a bit.
Wow. That is the biggest theodolite I have ever seen.
It's not a theodolite, Jade.
Uh, then that's the biggest soil moisture sensor I've ever seen. [chuckles]
Don't play too dumb, Jade. Just get her password.
Oh, I'm still confused by this smart "playing dumb" plan.
Well, Pfeiffer loves teaching curious minds,
so Jade will ask her some questions and get her to show off her big machine.
Then, when Pfeiffer enters her password,
you'll pop in and shout it out to me.
Ah, that is smart.
[Jade] How does this work?
Uh, stop. [chuckles]
Is the zipper on your jacket ferromagnetic?
Take it off. Better to be safe.
I wouldn't want you sticking to this thing. [chuckles]
Uh… [laughs] …you're using an electromagnet to survey land?
It can measure the soil erosion?
Something like that.
Huh.
So, that monitor shows how much power the electromagnet's using?
- [Jade] It pulls in a lot. - Mmm.
Can the Surfside electrical grid support that?
[chuckles] I toe the line at the red zone, but I won't step over.
What happens if you do?
It's highly volatile, but I know what I'm doing.
[chuckles] You always know what you're doing, Dr. Pfeiffer.
Ugh.
And when people see what I have discovered,
I'll get a pass on any pesky environmental violations.
What you've discovered?
You weren't surveying the land.
This isn't about soil erosion, is it?
You are smart.
[chuckles] Can you keep a secret?
I have discovered an unlimited renewable energy source. [chuckles]
- [chuckles] - Quantum crystals?
Currently, production of energy
is responsible for at least 87% of global greenhouse gas emissions,
but with this energy source,
we wouldn't have to rely on oil, coal or gas.
So, that wouldn't be a problem.
So you're saying that your discovery could end climate change?
I knew you would see where I was coming from. [chuckles]
- Free tortas, today only. - Here you go.
[chuckles] See, people love authentic Mexican food. Like I knew they would.
You called it, Petey. And the free food is keeping people happy
until the rides come back on.
It's also great advertising. First one's free.
They taste it, love it and come back for more.
Brilliant plan, Pedro. You pushed through. We're proud of you.
[chuckles] Tomorrow, let's add our habanero popsicles to the menu.
[groans] Not that proud.
[Jade] What are you doing?
[Pfeiffer] Damping the generator to stabilize the power system.
[Remi] Jade, look.
No.
Danger Point is eroding, Dr. Pfeiffer.
As a member of the Surfside Preservation Committee, you must be aware of that.
Scientific evidence indicates
that your extraction of this discovery is the root cause of the erosion.
What's one cliffside compared to something that could potentially save the world?
Potentially?
Have you even tested the efficacy of this new energy source?
I mean, what exactly are you extracting from Danger Point,
and how can you be certain
it's enough energy to supply an entire planet?
Wow. Aren't you full of questions?
Curious mind.
Perhaps a little too curious.
Why aren't you running tests on your new discovery
to identify all the risks and downsides?
There's no shortcuts in the scientific method.
True scientists conduct necessary research
to postulate theories and build up knowledge.
- You said so yourself. - I know what I'm doing!
This is none of your business.
Jade, there you are. [pants]
We have to get to the festival, or our parents will be worried.
So, I'd think twice before you threw them in the brig, science lady.
If you'll excuse me, I need to wrap it up here.
Enjoy your little festival.
[Sam] Well, that didn't work.
[sighs] Playing dumb failed us.
I have a new smart plan.
Dr. Pfeiffer said her machine was highly volatile.
"It toes the line of the red zone."
Yeah. She's using so much power, it's hitting the redline a bunch.
Exactly. So we give it a little more power to shove her toes right over it.
You wanna do what?
We wanna save Danger Point.
- So can we borrow your generator? - No, you can bug off.
[Jade] You know those doubloons you stole?
They're haunted by a ghost pirate.
[chuckles] Is he also a headless lifeguard?
[chuckles]
What in the who?
[shrieks]
[chuckles]
[chuckles] Enjoy your burgers.
All right already. I'll get my generator. Just call off the attack ghost.
Dang kids. Sure, send the old man to get the heavy generator.
[all chuckling]
Now Olsen's fake ghost tour has a real ghost story to tell.
Yarr!
Phase one. Check.
[pants]
[pants, grunts]
Phase two. Power on.
[error alert beeps]
No. No, no, no, no!
[electricity crackling]
No, no, no!
What-- What is that? [screams] No.
What is it doing? This can't--
This can't be happening.
[both chuckling]
[Sam] It's working. Let's go before it explodes.
You can't stay here. It isn't safe.
[both grunt]
[grunts] What? [breathes shakily]
[mid-tempo music resumes]
[people cheering]
Hey! Power's back on!
- [cheering] - [Petey] Yes. My air dancer's working.
[sighs]
[Jade] We beat the bad guy.
- And solved the mystery. - [chuckles]
I knew the Surfside Girls could do it.
Mom? Mom? Mom?
Amy?
- Thank you so much. - Mom, there you are!
- Didn't you get my texts? - There was no cell service. What's wrong?
I wanted to do something nice.
You and Dad work so hard, and you never spend time with each other.
But I couldn't even do that because this camera can't focus.
Uh, what?
- Come. Courtyard. - Uh… [stammers] …Amy.
[chuckles] Over here, over here.
[grunts, pants]
Surprise!
Fong?
[Mei-Lin, Fong chuckling]
- I missed you guys. - [chuckles]
[Jade] Dad?
- That's my name. [chuckles] - [chuckles]
- [strains] - [chuckles] We missed you so much.
Oh, not as much as I missed you, mui. [strains]
I can't believe you're here.
[chuckles] And that you did all this.
I did nothing. This was all Ames. [chuckles]
No big deal.
So, what food did you get?
Well, you know, all your favorites. [chuckles]
[Mei-Lin] So how'd you get the time off?
- [Fong] I know people here and there. - [Mei-Lin chuckles]
[Fong] Let's see what we got here.
Are those pillows from my room, Amy?
Technically, it's Mom and Dad's room because they pay the mortgage.
[both chuckling]
Come on.
It looks like we brought in enough money to bring in that land surveyor.
- Whoo-hoo! - Yeah, go, Mom!
- I knew you could do it. - [chuckles] Thanks, team.
[sighs] What a day.
I mean, who knew saving Danger Point would be so difficult?
Not me.
I think we all could use a break. Let's go hit up some rides.
Let's do it!
Petey, touch my stuff again, and you're burger meat.
What? I didn't do anything.
How'd you know it was me?
Mmm.
[pirates cheering]
How many ships can do that?
Only the fastest galleon to sail the seven seas.
You saved us, Remington.
Thank you for bringing the Surfside Girls to help.
[stammers] Sir, you didn't call them "poppets."
Don't get used to it.
[sighs] Here you go, crystals.
[sighs] Join your quantum friends down there.
We've moved back onto the Obsidian Flyer. [chuckles]
I claimed the Captain's cabin as a joke.
[inhales sharply] Captain Devar was not amused.
You know, who knew Sam wiping out on a big wave
would lead us to our big summer adventure?
Me.
No, I didn't. [chuckles]
But I did know we could solve the secret of Danger Point.
With science and logic.
And mystery and magic and the unexpected.
- [chuckles] - All of the above.
Hey, Remi. Do you think we could come aboard the Obsidian Flyer,
even though it's not on our physical plane?
Now, that's a scientific theory worth testing.
Let's explore the ghost ship.
- [Sam] You still have your shooter thingy? - [Jade] Of course.
The Lady?
[Jade] I'm ready to walk through a wall.
Come on, Remi. Show us your home.
Uh, yes. [chuckles]
Uh, the raven figurehead is even more impressive up close.
Yes. Last one on the quarterdeck walks the plank. [chuckles]
[Jade] Let's go.
[Sam] I can't wait.
[The Lady chuckling]
