"SAWYER:" "Her blowhole was largely underwater." "WOMAN:" "Okay, don't stress it." "Bring in the stretcher!" "SAWYER:" "She had small lesions, mucus coming out of her eyes... and was severely sunburned." "A common problem with beached dolphins... as their skin isn't adapted for prolonged exposure to the sun." "The team suspected possible lung infection, which led to her being disoriented... which led to her beaching." "This dolphin was nicknamed Mandy, after the little girl who discovered her." "It's 92." "It's really, really high." "SAWYER:" "Now, science doesn't know whether dolphins feel emotions... the way we do: fear, joy, sadness." "But their brains are as complex as ours... and to us, Mandy seemed terrified." "So, like always, we treated her as gently as we treat one of us." "We managed to get her into a stretcher and over to the rescue vehicle..." "PHOEBE:" "Breath!" "SAWYER: ...which wasn't easy, as the area was a mud flat." " Phoebe, you all right?" " Watch your step." "SAWYER:" "Mandy was eight and a half feet long and weighed approximately 350 pounds." "PHOEBE:" "Breath." " MAN 2:" "Watch your step." " PHOEBE:" "Thanks, Kyle." "SAWYER:" "When we got her back to CMA, we immediately began giving her... fluids and antibiotics for her respiratory infection... as well as a topical ointment for her sunburn." "Since then, she's been gaining strength every day... and is well on the road back to being a healthy animal." "[ALL CLAPPING]" "All right." "Next session, we'll go into more details about strandings." "I just want to thank you for volunteering." "You guys are what keep this aquarium going." "You and really big truckloads of fish."

"I'm Hazel Haskett, and welcome to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium." "Fifteen years ago, my mom and dad bought an old sewage treatment plant... and turned it into a hospital for sick and injured marine animals." "Their goal was to rescue, rehab and release as many animals as they could." "Today Clearwater Marine Aquarium is home to turtles, otters, sharks, and dolphins... including Winter, the famous dolphin with the prosthetic tail."

"HAZEL:" "Winter usually does three sessions a day with her prosthetic... and as you can see, she really likes it." "With it on, she's able to swim normally, and already... it's helped to correct the damage to her spine... and she's able to live a healthy, happy life." "Do you see her?"

"Every year, we invite one gifted high school student to join us... and this year we'd like that student to be you." "It's a challenge." "The science is rigorous, but I think you can handle it." "And I promise you it'll be an experience you'll never forget." "And it's a full scholarship." "All paid for." "What...?" "Full academic credit at school." "All I have to do is speak to the guidance counselor... and come Fall, if you decide you're in, you'd fly with Kyle to Boston..." "And we'll take care of the rest."

"And you've kept her away from the public the whole time." "Yup." "I have." "Sounds like she's missing Panama." "She's probably lonely."

"GEORGE:" "Behavior's certainly off." "I see the blood work shows elevated cortisol levels." "Clay, this animal is severely stressed." "Yeah."

"CLAY:" "So... her blood work is all fine." "Her gastrics are all fine." "X-rays of her lungs, all negative." "That's a good thing." "There's no sign of infection, so we've discontinued antibiotics."

"And we have an obligation to let every animal..." " You can't release her." " How can I not release her?" "All you have to do is wait six months or a year until we find another female..."

"Hazel, you know that's not true." "I'm sorry for just dumping all this on you." "[SIREN WAILING NEARBY]" "I just didn't know who else to talk to." "Well, I don't know much about dolphins." "I know about hospitals though." " You know what I sometimes think?" " What?" "What if someday I came to work and the place was empty?" "Just room after room, no patients." "Bunch of bored doctors and nurses sitting around because everybody was fine." "No need for surgery." "No sick people." "No one's here because they want to be."

"It started three weeks ago, when a little stranded dolphin... named Hope was rescued and brought to CMA." "But because she is too young... to have learned from her mom how to survive in the wild... she'll never be able to be released." "Yeah." "I understand, George, but I'm gonna need some time." "Can you give me an extension?" "Yes, of course." "I will put it in writing." "JENNY:" "She might be a Godsend to CMA's most famous..." "I will put it in writing right now." "...resident, Winter, who recently lost her companion, Panama, to old age." "She's been lonely ever since, so it's hoped that Hope may provide the answer." "Oh." "That's adorable!" " It's her favorite thing!" "She loves it!" "Heh." " Ha-ha-ha." "That is so cute!" "But there is even more going on at CMA." "Just this morning they released a green sea turtle back into the wild."

"You guys are fantastic." "Thank you." "Yes." "But remember... no matter how much we love Hope and Winter, they are wild animals." "They can bite or rake each other with their teeth, and even draw blood." "Or head-butt." "Take a cheap shot when the other one's not looking." "That's how they establish dominance in the wild." "It's natural, but it can be rough." "Reed, Rebecca, Jeanette, you guys have the net, right?" "Yeah." "If they go after each other... you divers look for Phoebe's signal to get the net between them fast." "But if it all goes well, and they accept each other, you'll see this:" "Parallel swimming and easy, natural, relaxed behavior." "But anything else..." "Anything that looks aggressive... safety first." "Theirs and ours." "All right." "Uh, any questions?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Dr. Clay." "When did you get so bossy?" "[ALL LAUGH]" "You guys get the net."

" HAZEL:" "Holding in the gate." "PHOEBE:" "She's just being territorial." "KYLE:" "She's saying, "it's my gate."" "There." "Freeze it." " Look." " She's echolocating." " Yeah, and she sees Winter has no tail." " She doesn't like that." "Here, then look." " See when Winter starts swimming?" " It freaked Hope out." "Which then freaked Winter out." "Because that movement's completely unnatural." "Hope doesn't understand that." "Yeah, but there's nothing we can do about that." "That's the only way she can swim." "Maybe not." "What if she wore the tail?" "That would freak Hope out even more." "But at least she'd have a more natural swimming motion." "She has never seen anything like it!" "It's just a huge contraption." "KYLE:" "But it's that up and down motion." "Yeah, but if she smacks Hope with it, it's game over." " KAT:" "Hope is so little." " She hurt Sawyer." "It's too dangerous." "Hang on a second, guys." "Sawyer..." "I want to know what you think." "She's been aggressive before, right?" "Think she'll do it again?" "No." "No, that was my fault." "I pushed her too fast, she wasn't ready." "And I know Winter." "And she's fine now." "I can see it." "I can see it in her eyes, and the way she is with me." "She's like how she always was." "She never meant any harm." "And if we don't give her this chance, what do we do?" "Give up?" "I don't want to look back on this knowing we didn't even try." "Sawyer's right." "Okay." "Tomorrow, 8 a.m. With the tail." "Anybody has a problem with that, speak up now." " LORRAINE:" "Looks pretty busy." " KYLE:" "Holy smoke!" "What on earth is the news doing here?" "I have no idea."

"It's a whole new design." "Yeah, more streamlined." "I finished it about 4:00 this morning." "The joints are carbon fiber, and I made the flukes a little darker... so it's easier to track movement." "And I hope you'll notice that they're a lot floppier." " More like the real thing?" " Yeah." "How did you get these edges so soft?" "Three jars of meat tenderizer and a baseball bat." "Is this a new formula, too?" "No, kid." "Same formula." "I just made a fresh one." "Don't get greedy." "All right." "Yeah, they are." "We're still here." "It's been about an hour." "We haven't heard anything in the aquarium for a while." "It's been pretty hush-hush around here." "PHOEBE:" "Thanks." "Sawyer, you wanna show it to her?" "SAWYER:" "Yeah." "She's okay." "It's okay."
