00:30I know what I saw sounds crazy it was so fast faster than any fish but I swear it was human
00:59my family are explorers we have been for generations while others look up to the stars we know
01:05there are an infinite number of things that shine in the darkness below there are things
01:10lurking in the seas that long ago vanished into men my family are explorers and we explore the deep
01:29you have to come whatever it is that's down there you need to see it I tried to call back
01:37but no answer I haven't heard from Ken in years but he's not the easily spooked kind
01:45I know that area there's no sinkhole it's a gigantic kelp bed found it well it was a kelp
01:53bed and now it's died off good job climate change that's a blue hole congratulations
02:00captain obvious I mean a new blue hole is unexplored territory a home of undiscovered
02:05ecosystems species found nowhere else on earth what is your brain doing mysterious humans living
02:13underwater there can only be one explanation you can't be serious and mermaids there's no such
02:21thing as mermaids I see something definitely some kind of boat can you see Ken I see
02:32Marius when I heard Ken's message I thought I'd help I was vaguely in the area what do you mean
02:42vaguely in the area you heard a private phone call how and where's Ken safe William I sent
02:51him home with some associates poor man needed a rest this sinkhole is far too precarious if what
02:58he saw is real wow that's a terrifying blur no no no no you can you can see the humanist shape
03:12uh-huh but is it man or mer have you got nitrogen on the brain okay monsters of the deep sure but
03:21I'm not going searching for mermaids that photo is proof of something down there but we won't know
03:27what until we look yes search party my third no second favorite type of party before you dive
03:35I'll need to see the chronicle of the deep there's a legend I half remember
03:44here the hole in the sea that hides a mystery not exactly specific does it say anything about
03:51mermaids that one looks like a tail that's no I think what it's saying is the abyss
03:58stares back because mermaids traditionally live in very deep water right in the abyss what is the
04:05obsession do you want to be lured into a watery grave because that's what mermaids do oh so you
04:12admit they exist I've seen this page hundreds of times I could never figure out what the image was
04:20the kelp bed must have hidden it for a hundred years 400 years according to the chronicle the
04:27last person went into the hole in the 1600s wait so you can read lemurian yeah I make educated guesses
04:38can you guess what this says hmm the writer reports that the impossible dwells below
04:45and vows never to return that is amazing you just don't get the concept of impending doom do you
04:54ready for the most awesome adventure jeffrey the kind of adventure where nobody goes too deep
05:01and where you stay
05:05together
05:20wow those teeth that couldn't possibly be an encoders a saber-toothed herring they
05:27weren't extinct millions of years ago congratulations you just discovered a lazarus
05:34species a living fossil huh I'm officially impressed
05:43so
05:54jeffrey that's your species sudantheus bicolor
05:59you shouldn't be in these waters he likes you now play nice with your new friend he's a long way
06:06from home hey come back and stop wait please you're descending too quickly stop now what
06:18what happened and I saw someone down there swimming faster than any human can
06:23scales trident tail mock all you want it was about my size it looked like a kid a child alone down
06:32here any ideas keeper of secrets none but there are no other dive boats for a hundred kilometers
06:45I'm going back to the aranax for the rover so that we can explore deeper
06:48in the meantime stay together we promise
06:52no sign of any diver of any species I'm not making it up you saw it right jeffrey
07:04jeffrey jeffrey where are you he's gone we have to go deeper to find him not
07:10until your mother gets back with the rover please dad I'm sorry he's my best friend
07:17do you read me loud and clear we're going a little deeper to find jeffrey
07:26yes keep your eyes peeled remember the abyss stares back
07:36jeffrey jeffrey
07:47there that was definitely human but way faster no way how
07:58I saw one too now who's crazy wait for me here dad montaigne
08:05jeffrey where are you this is not the time to play hide and seek
08:10this diver is too fast you were an olympic swimmer dad
08:15how is this person faster than you I'll ask them when I catch
08:23hey montaigne we found another one one what another lemurian symbol
08:40uh guys I think my diver just disappeared on a scale of weird and creepy this place
08:54is rapidly going off the chart oh don't say that montaigne jeffrey's alone out there
09:10um
09:27whoa I saw the diver it was me I mean I was him it was ant I had an ant to ant encounter
09:36two ants that sounds horrifying I mean it fontaine I'm back with the rover and I don't
09:43like the sound of this other ant everyone up to the surface now we've been down here too long
09:50some of us more than others
10:07so
10:24the same eyes the same nose the same everything do I have a twin am I adopted
10:30how's your vision follow my finger with your eyes maybe I'm a mermaid the rare two-legged kind
10:38how else could there be another ant down there what could this mean is there another ant asking
10:42his mer family exactly the same question at the mer colony the abyss stares back
10:48I hate it when you're all mysterious are you feeling nauseous cold how's your vision no
10:55no and fine they saw divers too fontaine's disappeared why am I the crazy one four words
11:02ant to ant encounter jeffrey he's still down there don't make me put you in a cage little brother
11:12sit you mentioned a lemurian symbol ah that explains why you're here you knew it was down
11:21not at all but I might be of help
11:29the same symbol you found so many times before what does it mean finding it here that I don't
11:36know but rest assured it does have meaning but that symbol must be thousands of years old
11:43six thousand to be precise and you're saying whatever it was that freaked out those old
11:48explorers might still be down there I don't care I'm not letting jeffrey face sea monsters on his
11:53own none of us want that exactly nektons onwards um that's down downwards
12:06I'll admit I was somewhat wrong about the divers
12:09but you have to admit there's a massive chance that you're just seeing things
12:14he swam up to me fontaine he was solid and looked exactly like me
12:18I never knew I was that good looking I mean I suspected definitely nitrogen on the brain
12:28jeffrey and he's made some friends not that I want to judge but
12:36jeffrey's friends are super friendly I was going for creepy
12:43well they sure seem to like him they won't leave him alone
12:50the other me look there mom go stay right there jeffrey
12:57it can't be no what how told you
13:15hey come back try to stay with it
13:20how does he swim so fast I have no idea I've never seen anything like it
13:31keiko stop it's a dead end
13:38that's impossible where did he go
13:41oh there's no way out of here none of this makes sense there must be another way out
13:53what's that look what
14:02impossible is that really well say something to them us whoever they are what do we say to
14:09ourselves someone just say something I got this hey me how's it going what was that
14:22so
14:35let's get in and take a closer look don't we can't touch the other rover why not there's
14:41only one explanation mind is open listening time travel I take it all back bring on the
14:48mer colony I want to believe we're seeing our future selves if we touch them the whole space
14:54time continuum could collapse no the abyss stares back that was the clue it's not time travel it's
15:04like a mirror I saw me jeffrey saw jeffrey and the divers were us back up a few brain cells there
15:11were more than two jeffreys and we all saw them no more half-truths nerious is there anything else
15:17the chronicle says about this place nothing more than I've told you perhaps it's worth mentioning
15:23that the other rover now looks alive actually I don't want to see that can't we just turn
15:31off all the lights and pretend it's not there that's it you're a genius aunt which one turn
15:37off the lights mom trust me I hope you know what you're doing aunt wait make sure you keep watching
15:47three two one
15:52no way wow some octopus mimicking the mimic octopus but not the one we know an entirely
16:03new subspecies much more advanced than anything else on earth remarkable so they've been down
16:10here evolving for thousands of years the normal mimic octopi work alone right and can only copy
16:16animal shapes but these are working together in low light they must have developed this behavior
16:21as extreme camouflage to hide from predators this must be their lair I really hate that word lair
16:31huh
16:40hunting ground perhaps not helping okay as much as I'm enjoying the feeling of
16:46thousands of beady eyes watching us let's get out of here slowly
16:51okay must have taken a wrong turn no that dead end wasn't there before
17:21so
17:33another dead end how many is that now try another tunnel
17:38keiko might I suggest you gun the engines
17:45hold on tight
17:51whoa reverse quickly on it
18:00can rocks do that the mimicry isn't a defense mechanism it's predatory they've herded us here
18:05we are the prey so we're trapped they can't get to us inside the rover we're safe
18:14or not
18:15what this is incredible and not the time for fish gazing and technically they're
18:23cephalopods technically they're trying to eat us by pretending to be rocks how amazing is that
18:32it won't hold for much longer
18:36everyone put on your scuba masks
18:45huh do the electrics still work they do for now
18:49why the lights of course we'll only have a few seconds to escape when the lights come back on
18:55that's all I need
18:59they're moving back now that way I see it
19:05so
19:12another wall not again Jeffrey
19:20go
19:25they're not following they've gone back to the caves
19:28Jeffrey tell me you lost your friends
19:33attaboy world oceans authority this is the necktense copy
19:42yes we discovered a new blue hole sending coordinates now
19:46protected zone no access definitely no diving except to replant the kelp bed
19:52I quite agree no one should ever encounter what's down there
19:56do you mean the octopus or the lemurian symbol perhaps both you are in big trouble
20:04mister swimming off alone like that I can't stay mad at you
20:16hey I'm not your dinner
20:26it's okay I got you wait how do I know for sure you're the real Jeffrey
20:36I knew it was you good boy
20:40let's go home as always nectons a pleasure wait if the lemurian symbol is 6 000 years old
20:49does that mean they had submersibles that would be very advanced technology
20:53maybe the lemurians were just very skilled at
20:56holding their breath like mermaids technically we didn't disprove mermaids
21:04the sea is deep and full of secrets you're a very frustrating guy you know that
21:12wait Marius are you saying mermaids exist excellent question until next time
21:20that's not an answer not even close to an answer I know
21:50you
