Bernie The Dolphin 2018

Here is a rephrased version of the section:

The Ryan siblings, Kevin and Holly (Ryan), embark on an idyllic kayaking adventure near St. Augustine, Florida, accompanied by playful dolphins. Their tranquil escapade takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon Winston Mills (character), a shrewd businessman with grandiose plans for the cove. The siblings’ carefree romp comes to an abrupt end as a boat collision sends them tumbling into the water; thankfully, a dolphin heroically saves Holly from drowning.

Their father, Bob (Ryan), grounds Kevin and Holly for their late return and lack of life vests, but Holly’s intuition is piqued by a nagging sense that something is amiss with one of the dolphins. Their mother, Abby (Ryan), takes them on her boat, where Holly discovers that one of the dolphins is missing, prompting her and Kevin to post missing posters around town. Their investigation leads them to Marineland, where they learn that the dolphin, Bernie, has been rescued and is receiving treatment.

Meanwhile, Winston shares his plans with Bob’s boss, Luke Lawson (character), for building an ocean park on his land as a means of securing a promotion for Bob. However, Kevin and Holly are less than thrilled about this development, opting instead to focus on helping Bernie recover and reunite him with his pod. As they begin filming Bernie’s family in the hopes of reuniting them, they inadvertently stumble upon Winston and Mayor Brock Winters (character) discussing a clandestine plan to pilfer turtle eggs.

In a separate vein, Bob visits Luke Lawson to finalize the plans for an ocean park on his property, but the kids’ attempts to enlighten him about Winston’s true intentions fall on deaf ears. The family celebrates Bob’s promotion with a boat trip, only to discover that their filming area is eerily deserted.

Later that night, Kevin concocts a plan to retrieve his stolen camera from Winston and, accompanied by Holly, they sneak into his office. There, they overhear Winston revealing that their father has unwittingly signed away permission for an illegal chemical plant instead of the ocean park. Winston catches them in the act, but the siblings manage to escape and stumble upon Sidney (character), a friend from Marineland. Winston hotly pursues them, ultimately breaking Sidney’s phone during the chaos.

As Sidney brings the children back to their sanctuary, Abby offers her technical expertise to repair her phone, while Bob remains skeptical about the kids’ tale. However, Abby’s keen intuition and Sidney’s unwavering support for the young duo ultimately prove convincing, as they corroborate each other’s account. The next day, Bob confronts Winston about the clandestine chemical plant, only to be met with a chilling threat: Winston will have him imprisoned alongside himself, courtesy of Bob’s own signature on the permits. Enraged and exhausted, Bob abandons his post.

Meanwhile, Abby successfully repairs Sidney’s phone, and Kevin and Holly take it upon themselves to share the damning evidence with her. As they reveal the truth about Winston’s nefarious plans, including his sinister desire to acquire Marineland, Bob expresses regret for not believing them initially. However, he maintains that their testimony is insufficient to secure a conviction against Winston. Undeterred, Abby proposes leveraging Kevin’s remarkable sea mammal footage as additional proof, and Bob ultimately decides to reveal the truth to a detective, securing police protection in the process. As a result, Winston and Mayor Winters are taken into custody.

In a separate thread, Bernie has fully recovered from his sunburn ordeal and joins the Ryans on a quest to locate his family out at sea. Meanwhile, Kevin and Holly share their story with the press, detailing their role in exposing Winston’s and the mayor’s wicked schemes. They also reveal their plan to release Bernie back into the wild, where he can rejoin his natural family. Eventually, they track down Bernie’s loved ones on a nearby beach, and an emotional reunion ensues amidst a gathering of curious onlookers.
