Jesse, Randolph, and Rae hatch a plan to release Willy. They damage the tank enough that the water will gradually leak out in an effort to kill Willy and claim his $1,000,000 insurance policy. Later, while at the tank, Jesse notices Willy's family calling to him and Dial's assistant Wade and other men sneaking into the underwater observation area. Jesse storms off in tears and plans to run away. Willy smashes against the tank, causing damage to it. On the day of the first performance, Willy is antagonized by the children banging constantly on his underwater observation area and refuses to perform. The owner of the amusement park, Dial, sees the talent Jesse and Willy have together and makes plans to host "The Willy Show" in hopes of finally making money from Willy, who has thus far been a costly venture for him. Jesse then teaches tricks to Willy, and will be given a permanent job at the marine after probation.
Willy is regarded as surly and uncooperative by the park staff, including his trainer Rae Lindley, but he saves Jesse from drowning, starting a bond, and becomes friendly with his keeper, Haida native Randolph Johnson.
While working at the park, Jesse encounters Willy. His foster parents are the supportive and kind Annie and Glen Greenwood, but Jesse is initially unruly and hostile to them. Jesse's social worker Dwight earns him a reprieve by finding him a foster home and having him clean up the graffiti at the theme park. Sometime later in Astoria, Oregon, Jesse, a 12-year-old boy abandoned by his mother six years before, is caught after vandalizing the park.
The pod is tracked down by a group of whalers, and one of them, Willy, is trapped and sent to an amusement park. The film begins with a pod of orcas swimming near the coastline of the Pacific Northwest.
