00:00Captain! There's something under us! It's huge!
00:27It can't be!
00:39Lightbulbs! Now!
00:46What is it?
00:47They don't exist!
00:49They can't!
00:55No, sir!
01:04Captain, what was that?
01:07Something impossible. A myth.
01:10A Dark Walker.
01:17My family are explorers. We have been for generations.
01:21While others look up to the stars, we know there are an infinite number of things that shine in the darkness below.
01:27There are things lurking in the seas that long ago vanished into mint.
01:31My family are explorers, and we explore... the deep.
01:47The stolen salvage vessel was searching for a Dutch trader sunk in the 17th century.
01:53It was carrying a fortune in gilders when it was pulled into the sea by giant grappling hooks.
01:58That sounds great.
02:00The salvage vessel was last seen orbiting the Earth, being towed by Martians singing jingle bells.
02:06Yep. I'll get to it tomorrow.
02:08Will!
02:09What?
02:10Look, I know finding the scroll was important.
02:12Important? This could be the key to Las Lemuria, Keiko.
02:16This is what my parents were searching for. Important doesn't quite cover it.
02:23I brought you another coffee, Dad.
02:25Thanks, Fontaine. Just put it over there.
02:28You mean with all the other coffees you haven't drunk?
02:32Still no match.
02:34What are you trying to match?
02:36This looks like an ancient map, but it doesn't match any modern topography.
02:39What do these symbols mean?
02:41I'm not sure. Location, maybe. But they're in a lost language. No one alive today can read them.
02:46There's one person who might be able to.
02:49Dolos.
02:50Dolos? As in mysterious keeper of information, Dolos?
02:54Yes.
02:55I finally get to see the floating black market! I'll get Jeffrey!
02:59It's a floating market, Aunt. As in above water.
03:03Your fish doesn't do above water.
03:05He does now!
03:07Ta-da!
03:09You invented this.
03:11That's fantastic!
03:13Thanks. I call it the Jorange.
03:16Why?
03:17Because I wanted to invent two things at once.
03:20So I invented a fish backpack and the first word to rhyme with orange!
03:26No, why would you want to carry a fish everywhere?
03:29It's not about what I want, Fontaine. It's about Jeffrey.
03:32It's not fair that he's excluded just because we do things out of water.
03:35He's a fish.
03:36And that means a little thing like oxygen should stop him from being with us?
03:40Yep, that's exactly what that means.
03:49So this is a swap. I get your turn driving the jet boat next time, right?
03:53No, this counts as your turn. It's not my fault you can't drive and wear your fish pack.
03:59Backpack development log. Remember to adapt so that I can drive jet boat.
04:03Fontaine's development log. Remember to make fun of Anne for having a backpack development log.
04:08Now remember, you two, we need to keep a low profile.
04:12This floating market is full of thieves and pirates. Trust no one.
04:17Can we trust this Dolos person?
04:19No. I've only scanned the symbols for him to translate.
04:22I don't want Dolos getting any hint that the scroll exists.
04:2717th century Dutch treasure. Only discovered a few days ago.
04:32Get your gilders here. Absolutely priceless artifacts for a price.
04:46Huh?
04:47You lowlifes! My grandmother's worked twice that much.
04:51Huh?
04:52You lowlifes! My grandmother's worked twice that much.
04:55Even with her wooden legs.
04:58Oh, what do we have here?
05:01This? This is the Joridge.
05:04Ant. Low profile.
05:06Interesting. I'll take it and the fish. How much do you want?
05:11Uh, it's a prototype. It isn't for sale yet. Also, the fish is very special.
05:16Ooh, how special?
05:18I'd say Jeffrey is the most important fish in the world.
05:21The most important fish in the world? Give it to me! Hey!
05:25You don't want to do that.
05:27Really? And who are you?
05:30My name is William Necton.
05:35The Necton family? Right!
05:38You've been known to make things difficult for us.
05:41A legitimate businessman like myself.
05:45Walk away.
05:48Happy to.
05:53I know what they're doing here. Now.
06:09This Dolo's guy creeps me out.
06:13Oh, children.
06:16All those happy years of sleepless nights and dirty diapers.
06:21Such a blessing.
06:22Let's keep this short. We're only here so you can translate some symbols.
06:26Oh!
06:27Anything for old college friends.
06:30You went to college with my parents?
06:32And you taught it to speak. The blessings are endless.
06:36Do you mean that sincerely? You're kind of hard to read. You have a really strange face.
06:40It speaks once more, I double my fee.
06:48Oh, I don't...
06:50I only recognize two of these. Maybe 10,000 years old.
06:54Mesopotamian or... No.
06:58This is something else.
07:00Where did you get this, William?
07:03You're getting paid. And that's all you're getting.
07:07I think this one means entrance or... No. Gateway.
07:13And the other?
07:15This literally means wet fire.
07:18Lava! That means lava!
07:21So obvious.
07:27So we double the fee. Take it out of my pocket money.
07:30You don't get that much pocket money.
07:34Our captain would like a word.
07:37Oh, I thought we already had a word.
07:39This time, we brought friends.
07:47What's the strategy here, Dad? Bargain? Bluff? Outthink them?
07:50We run!
07:59What are you doing?
08:00Keep going. Hide. We'll draw them away.
08:02We're not going to leave you. Yes, you are, Fontaine.
08:05Don't look back.
08:07Aunt, if anyone follows you,
08:09feel free to do all the inventive things you usually wouldn't be allowed to do.
08:13Done!
08:24Dolos.
08:26Captain Hammerhead. My favorite pirate.
08:31What do the Nectons want?
08:33Oh, I couldn't possibly betray the confidence of my old college friends.
08:43What would you like to know?
08:49Over there!
08:55What is that?
08:57It's a diversion.
09:01Oh!
09:03Backpack development log.
09:05Jeffrey makes an excellent diversion.
09:07Aunt, come on!
09:12A gateway. And lava.
09:15I thought you'd be more useful than this, Dolos.
09:19You don't want to join the list of people who've disappointed me.
09:24There's more.
09:26The Nectons were holding something back.
09:29I'm guessing this gateway leads to an ancient treasure.
09:34See? Now you're being useful.
09:38What sort of treasure?
09:40Something of enormous value, I'm sure.
09:42However, the only clue to the location is the volcanic activity.
09:46You'd have to follow the Nectons to learn more.
09:49I won't have to follow them.
09:52I should have them already.
09:56I think we lost them.
09:58Nope.
10:00Where are you going?
10:02I have an idea.
10:16Now we need to find Mom and Dad.
10:19Stop the boat.
10:21Aunt, kill the engines.
10:26The captain is waiting for you.
10:29I don't want to have to do this the hard way.
10:33Then we'll make it easy for you.
10:36We're leaving.
10:38No!
10:45I'll take their treasure.
10:47And I'll take that fancy summoner's for my fleet.
10:56We're under way.
10:58It would be good to know where we're under way to.
11:00Do you know how many volcanic sites there are in the world?
11:04Would you like another coffee you won't drink?
11:06And if this gateway is near volcanic activity,
11:09it could be buried by now.
11:11Didn't Dolo say those symbols were 10,000 years old?
11:14Yes.
11:16Well, wasn't there an ice age around then?
11:18The sea level would have...
11:19Have been much lower than today.
11:22A match!
11:24The location in the scroll is now underwater near the Illusion Islands.
11:27And they're volcanic.
11:29Aunt, you're a genius.
11:31Did you hear that, Fontaine?
11:33Fontaine's development log.
11:35Find ways to deflate Aunt's expanding head.
11:38I can have us there by morning.
11:40That long?
11:41We could get there faster, but the teleporter's on the fritz.
11:52Rover, this is Erin X.
11:54We don't need thermal imaging.
11:55There's volcanic activity everywhere.
11:58Sending GPS coordinates for the gateway.
12:00Or at least, where I'm hoping some sort of gateway will be.
12:08They went without me?
12:10Mom and Dad were never taking you out there with that much heat.
12:13And besides, we're too far away.
12:15I don't think we can make it.
12:17Mom and Dad were never taking you out there with that much heat.
12:20And besides, we're too busy playing with your fish backpack.
12:23It's called the Jorange, and it's not playing.
12:30Let's find this gateway and get out of here.
12:32According to the GPS, we should be close.
12:35Look, what's that?
12:41Incredible.
12:43This gateway must be ten meters high.
12:45An archway that impressive has to lead somewhere cool.
12:48Taking us in to find out.
13:09It's empty.
13:11Will.
13:15Will.
13:23Kids, are you seeing this?
13:26Yeah.
13:30And?
13:31I think he's speechless.
13:34Oh, oh, I'll get a photo so you can see what Ant looks like when he's not talking.
13:38It may never happen again.
13:40Huh? Hmm.
13:42What's wrong?
13:43I don't know.
13:44I thought I saw something on the external cameras.
13:47What sort of something?
13:49There's nothing on the radar or sonar.
13:51Kids, is everything okay?
13:53Fontaine's seeing things that aren't there.
13:55I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like she might need a whole new head.
14:01There's something under us.
14:02Something huge.
14:05Look.
14:13They're going to pin us down.
14:21Aronach secured.
14:23Enter the vessel.
14:25Rover, Rover, this is Aronach.
14:27We're under attack.
14:28We're coming.
14:35Whoever they are, they're coming.
14:37Shut the moon pool off.
14:39No, wait.
14:40We have to cut ourselves free.
14:48Jeffrey, stay.
14:52Backpack development log.
14:54Find a way to carry George in white knight.
14:59Okay, Fontaine, I'm out.
15:01Close the moon pool.
15:03Good luck, Ant.
15:08Get that boy.
15:14Activate laser.
15:18Ant, starboard side.
15:20You've got company.
15:23That's not company.
15:24Company brings cake.
15:26I'll try and slow them down.
15:28Discharging bilge tanks.
15:30Have a nice day.
15:34That's a nasty bit of business.
15:39That's the last one.
15:44Ant, Ant, come in.
15:46Do you read?
15:49Stop right there.
15:51No one messes with my son.
15:55Mom, Dad, the white knight systems are down.
15:58Ant's got no power.
15:59He's got no air.
16:00Ant, Ant, do you read me?
16:04Take it back.
16:05You can see just fine.
16:06If you're happy with the head you have,
16:08you may as well keep it.
16:11Open the moon pool, Fontaine.
16:12We're coming in.
16:15A dark orc.
16:17We should have known.
16:21Try to catch us now.
16:26No!
16:27They're getting away!
16:29Fire another grappling hook!
16:32It's our last one, Captain.
16:34Oh, I'm sorry.
16:35Are you saving it for a special occasion?
16:44Primary propeller is down.
16:46We can't outrun them with only one prop.
16:48We have to.
16:49We can't let them get their hands on the scroll.
16:53The volcano.
16:54It's going to blow.
16:55We have to stop.
16:56Hello, Nectons.
16:58This is a dark orc.
17:00You can't go forward and you can't come back.
17:04Surrender your vessel.
17:10I repeat.
17:12Surrender your vessel and all its contents now.
17:19Fontaine, how hot is the water around the volcano?
17:21You can't be serious.
17:23No, he's right.
17:24The dark orc would never follow us through an eruption.
17:27Fontaine?
17:28It's 1,200 degrees Celsius and rising.
17:31The Aronax is titanium alloy.
17:33She can take it.
17:34But only if we go now before it gets much hotter.
17:37We've only got one prop.
17:39Even with half the power,
17:40your mother can still out-pilot anyone.
17:43You're the captain, Captain.
17:45Buckle up.
17:49Backpack development log.
17:50Add a seatbelt for the Jorange.
17:521,300 degrees.
17:54It's okay.
17:55Titanium doesn't melt under 1,600.
17:57Yeah, but I do.
17:59The Aronax is moving again, Captain.
18:02It's heading straight for the volcano.
18:04Boys, don't let them get away.
18:06You mean follow them?
18:08Into the eruption?
18:11You're the captain.
18:12Captain.
18:18What's the temperature?
18:20The gauges don't work, Captain.
18:22What?
18:23He said the gauges don't...
18:24I heard it the first time.
18:25Let's go after them.
18:33Hold on.
18:37The upper hull is almost melting.
18:39We're taking in a lot of water.
18:41Keep going.
18:44We're nearing maximum hull temperature.
18:46Almost there.
18:48Zydlink activity peaking.
18:51Hang on, everyone.
19:03Just pull out.
19:13You've turned us away just in time, Captain.
19:16There's no way they survived.
19:18There's no way they survived.
19:28The Dark Orca.
19:30They're turning back.
19:32Way to go, Mom.
19:34All right.
19:35Yeah, we did it.
19:39Captain, I think they made it.
19:42What?
19:43I didn't know the Aronax could roll over.
19:45Me neither.
19:46But the top of the hull has the strongest insulation.
19:49I had to put it between us and the eruption.
19:51Just as well you had the Jorange,
19:53or Jeffrey would have spilled all over the floor.
19:55So, you admit that it's the greatest invention to ever be invented.
19:59Fontaine's Development Log.
20:01Admit nothing.
20:08Aside from some old graffiti,
20:10there's nothing in this gateway at all, Captain.
20:12Of course there isn't.
20:14The treasure was in there.
20:15The Nectons took it.
20:17I want it.
20:18I want that sub.
20:20And I want revenge.
20:22No one humiliates Captain Hammerhead.
20:29I've searched through the entire scroll,
20:32and I didn't find anything that looks like this symbol from the gateway.
20:35Uh, want your coffee on the table so it can go cold again, Dad?
20:39No.
20:41I'll have it now. Thanks.
20:43Oh no.
20:44Now you're getting obsessed, Ant.
20:46We're explorers. We have to be obsessed with things.
20:49Or we'd just stay on the couch.
20:51The symbol isn't in the scroll.
20:53That's what I said.
20:55Did you look out of the scroll?
20:57What?
20:59Help me turn it over.
21:01Dad!
21:04That's it. It's the same symbol.
21:07This is just the first.
21:09I think we're going to find more of these symbols hidden in the deep.
21:12The start of a whole new path.
21:33To be continued...
