00:00I believe this could be very important, Nereus.
00:07It's hard to tell from here, William.
00:10I'd need to see the picture first hand.
00:13This part of the chronicle seems to refer to Lemuria's needle.
00:17Hmm.
00:18Perhaps.
00:19Uh, Mr. Nereus, is it needle as in compass, and is it connected to our piece of the Ephemicron?
00:26It could be, but then again, my family has been searching for lost Lemuria for generations,
00:33Nereus.
00:34Why are you being so mysterious?
00:35Ugh.
00:36Mysterious is probably his middle name.
00:38Mysterious is not my middle name.
00:41I think Mysterious is his first name.
00:44Mysterious is not first either.
00:47Nereus?
00:48Ugh, we lost the signal.
00:51Huh?
00:53Amp, look.
00:54Isn't that Mr. Mysterious?
00:56Nereus?
00:57How?
00:58Of course.
01:00He pretends he's miles away, then makes a surprise entrance.
01:04Hmm.
01:05That does sound like his style.
01:07Well, this time, let's surprise him.
01:12Surprise!
01:15Huh?
01:16You're not Nereus.
01:18You must be Fontaine.
01:20And you must be Antaeus.
01:22I'm so pleased to meet you.
01:24My name is Proteus.
01:30My family are explorers.
01:32We have been for generations.
01:34While others look up to the stars, we know there are an infinite number of things that
01:38shine in the darkness below.
01:40There are things lurking in the seas that long ago vanished into myth.
01:44My family are explorers, and we explore the deep.
01:50I feel like I've been waiting to meet the Nekton family my entire life.
02:05So, like, a really long time.
02:08Ow!
02:09My friend Nereus always has some reason not to introduce us.
02:14So, you know Nereus?
02:16As well as anyone can.
02:18He's a little mysterious.
02:20I know, right?
02:22But I'm here to help you find Lemuria's Needle.
02:26How did you know we were looking for Lemuria's Needle?
02:29Well, you were in the area.
02:32Huh?
02:35Mede! Mede!
02:36Can anyone hear me?
02:38Aranak's receiving you.
02:39What's the nature of your emergency?
02:41I have Captain Marco, the icebreaker Macintosh.
02:44We're trapped in pack ice.
02:48We have your coordinates. We're on our way.
02:50Thank you. Please hurry.
02:52Nektons, we have a ship in distress.
02:54Everyone back to the bridge.
02:56All right. Sounds urgent.
02:58You better come aboard.
03:05Captain Marco, we'll be arriving in 20 minutes.
03:09Hang on.
03:14Nereus and I are both members of the Guardians.
03:17Nereus once mentioned something about Guardians,
03:20but never told us what they do.
03:22We basically try to preserve Lemurian culture.
03:26But why wouldn't Nereus just say that?
03:29Nereus and I do things differently.
03:31To be honest, sometimes I wonder if he wants you to find Lemuria at all.
03:37Lemuria's Needle and the Ephemercron are connected.
03:40I knew it!
03:42When all the pieces of the Ephemercron are connected,
03:44it forms an ancient navigational computer.
03:47And here in the Chronicle, it reads,
03:50The wielder of the Ephemercron is the Wayfinder
03:54and the compass of their people.
03:57I've been trying to translate that for months.
03:59Thank you.
04:00My pleasure.
04:01When was the last time Nereus translated anything for us?
04:05He does. Occasionally.
04:07Once or twice?
04:08The Chronicle suggests you will find this by heading due north.
04:14Just so we're clear, Proteus now rates way above Nereus in my book.
04:18He doesn't play games.
04:20Nereus is kind of intentionally mysterious, isn't he, Jeffrey?
04:26Good point.
04:27See? You know how to give a straight answer.
04:35Aronax, are you reading me?
04:37Captain Marco, we're almost there.
04:39My boat is at the point of breaking up!
04:41The Makatos cannot take any more of this!
04:44It won't have to. Hold on to something.
04:47What? Why do I have to hold on to something?
04:50We're up!
05:03That just might do it.
05:06We'll carve a channel to open water for you.
05:08Incredible!
05:10Thank you.
05:11You're welcome.
05:12Stay safe, Captain Marco. Aronax out.
05:16Full steam ahead!
05:23We're twenty miles from True North.
05:25If I read this correctly, you'll need to turn to port three degrees,
05:29head towards Magnetic North, and descend.
05:33Technically, True North is right at the top of the planet.
05:36But compasses point to Magnetic North,
05:39where the Earth's magnetic field is focused.
05:43Yes, it is fascinating.
05:46Aronax, you're transmuting the signal.
05:49Nereus, your signal is very weak.
05:52You're almost north pole.
05:56Yes. Your friend Proteus is with us.
05:59He says he has something to show us.
06:01Hello, old friend.
06:03Proteus, be careful of the...
06:08Mr. Nereus? Be careful of what?
06:11We lost the signal.
06:12Be careful of the... what could he have meant?
06:15Maybe he was trying to be mysterious again.
06:18He was trying to warn us of something.
06:20Now, now, Antaeus, you have nothing to fear.
06:24Trust me.
06:29Depth is 1.2 kilometers. We can't go much deeper.
06:33What's that?
06:37A mountain?
06:42Engines off.
06:46Is that what I think it is?
06:49Indeed it is. That is the North Pole.
06:54Wow.
06:56Incredible.
06:59Look. The North Pole floats.
07:03In ancient times, Lemurians placed this here.
07:07It marks the exact position of magnetic north.
07:11The Chronicle states that when assembled,
07:14the Ephemercron will align itself with Lemuria's needle.
07:18Using this and other significant markers,
07:21it can calculate the route to Lemuria.
07:24This is almost too amazing to believe.
07:27Believe it, William.
07:29Some guardians delight in sharing their knowledge,
07:33especially with keen adventurers such as yourselves.
07:37Thank you, Proteus.
07:40I want to know what Nereus meant by be careful.
07:44Don't pretend, Jeffrey. I know you're curious, too.
07:50With the radio buoy deployed, we might get a stronger signal.
07:55Aranax to Nereus. Aranax to Nereus.
07:59Nereus, can you hear me?
08:01Good. Let Proteus aboard.
08:03What? Yes, Proteus is here.
08:05What did you mean by be careful?
08:07He quits about you.
08:12What? Hello? Nereus?
08:15I thought you'd be more interested in the North Pole.
08:18I am. It's incredible.
08:21You're very smart, aren't you, Antaeus?
08:24And, Fontaine, please prepare the rover for deployment immediately.
08:29Your father wants to see the Pole up close.
08:32It's the eighth wonder of the world.
08:35Something smells fishy here.
08:41Sorry, Jeffrey. Not you.
08:45Moving closer to the obelisk.
08:52What an incredible vehicle.
08:54You want a closer look?
08:56Yes, please.
09:00Maybe just don't press any buttons.
09:06That's strange.
09:14Dad, the rover's ready.
09:16Thanks, Fontaine.
09:18Where's the Ephemercron?
09:20Ant, did you put the Ephemercron back in my study?
09:24Ant? Ant?
09:34Your technology is impressive.
09:37Everything is so easy to operate.
09:39Uh, does don't press any buttons mean something different where you come from?
09:43Ant!
09:46Fontaine, I can't get through to the rover.
09:49Can you ask Ant if he put the Ephemercron back in the study?
09:53Ant, did you put the Ephemercron away?
09:56Huh?
09:57Codius, what are you doing?
09:59Ant, come in. Where are you going?
10:05Why are you leaving without me?
10:07Dad, can you try to reach Ant?
10:10Ant, do you copy?
10:13Codius, take us back now!
10:16Rover to Aeronax! Rover to Aeronax!
10:19Hello?
10:26So, somehow that thing blocks radio signals, right?
10:30Oh, you are clever.
10:33Where are you taking me?
10:37Ant, can you hear me?
10:39What?
10:42Will, look!
10:44Huh?
10:46Look out!
10:48Huh?
10:50We're speeding up!
10:52And it's not me. We're being pulled!
11:02What's happening?
11:04Engines are at full reverse. We can't stop!
11:07The North Pole is magnetized!
11:09We're going to get hit!
11:11Hold on!
11:28The North Pole is the focal point of the Earth's magnetic field.
11:32It's a giant electromagnet.
11:35Codius and Ant are gone!
11:38How?
11:39In the Rover, just before things went crazy.
11:42Codius was driving. Aeronax to Rover, can you hear me, Ant?
11:47I have a plan.
11:50Jeffrey is wondering why.
11:53Nereus believes you are the one.
11:56Which one?
11:57You know exactly what I'm talking about.
11:59The Chosen One alone has the ability to assemble the pieces of the Ephemechron.
12:04It's time to fulfill your destiny.
12:09I'm in position.
12:16The magnet is made of carbon fiber. Completely non-conductive.
12:20Okay, so it can be magnetized and stuck.
12:24But why do you want the seaplanes cover?
12:26It's thermoplastic, Fontaine. Also non-conductive.
12:30You're going to try to save us with a plastic sheet?
12:33If I can wrap it around Apollo's base, it might cut off the energy supply,
12:37weaken the magnetism, and free the Aeronax.
12:40Sounds like a plan.
12:44No offense, but do we have a plan B?
12:53If you can make the Ephemechron whole, the power will be ours.
12:57Never trust a man who carries a staff, Jeffrey.
13:00Stop playing. You will help me.
13:03Not a chance.
13:06Your parents are in mortal danger.
13:09Mayday! Mayday!
13:13Unless I tell your family how to save the Aeronax, they'll be trapped forever.
13:18If you want them free, prove to me that you are the one.
13:31Mom!
13:35The roof shouldn't be doing that.
13:37The hull's losing integrity.
13:39Meaning?
13:40Meaning we've got to get out of here now, or the Aeronax could collapse in on itself.
13:50Take this.
13:51What? Hey, that's ours.
13:54Not anymore.
14:00Take this, too.
14:02What? That's...
14:04Your task is simple.
14:06The Chronicle tells us the One will join the pieces of the Ephemechron together.
14:10There's supposed to be three.
14:12Two should be enough to prove if you're genuine, or not.
14:17If I do this, you'll help my family?
14:20Of course.
14:27Okay, it must go this way.
14:31Oh.
14:33That's it? That's the best you can do?
14:36Nereus was wrong about you.
14:38You're just an annoying child.
14:45Hey!
14:49Okay, done.
14:51The instruments show you've blocked most of the energy flow coming from the Earth.
14:55I'm trying the engines now.
15:01Ugh.
15:02I'm sorry, Will. It wasn't enough.
15:09Help! This guy believes in destinies and wears robes and casual clothes!
15:14Radio for help! My family is in danger!
15:17Your little friend is noisy, Proteus.
15:24You, too.
15:26He's also quite useless.
15:28He's also quite useless to me.
15:34Captain Marco will take you far away.
15:37I cannot allow Nereus to know of these events.
15:42You didn't help my family.
15:44You didn't put the Ephemechron together.
15:47You... you were lying.
15:49You were never going to help them.
15:53That's a bigger drop than I was expecting.
15:57Are you sure about this, Keiko?
15:59A charge through the hull should reverse our polarity.
16:02Like turning a magnet around.
16:04So instead of being attracted, we'll be repelled?
16:07That's the theory.
16:09But if it works, it could be a rough ride.
16:11The pole's diminished magnetism will slow the rate of repulsion,
16:15so the Aranek should be able to stay in one piece.
16:17Should be able to?
16:19Oh, there isn't a plan C, is there?
16:22On three.
16:24One.
16:25Two.
16:26Three!
16:32Come on! Come on!
16:38Hook these to the auxiliary batteries.
16:49That really doesn't sound good.
16:52That was a bigger drop than I was expecting.
16:55How are we doing?
16:57We're ready to reverse polarity.
17:07What kind of guardian endangers people's lives?
17:13Give me that!
17:23Stop!
17:26Poteus?
17:32Jeffrey, stay.
17:40Polarity reversing... now!
17:49We're free!
17:50We're free!
17:51I wasn't expecting it to be this smooth.
17:57Will, the engines!
18:09Yes!
18:10Come on, let's find Edge.
18:21I'm picking up a GPS signal from Ant's communicator.
18:24Aranek to Ant, can you hear me?
18:27Can't talk.
18:29Freezing.
18:51Marius!
18:53You're all right?
18:54Yes, but cold.
19:07You had no right to do what you did, Poteus.
19:10This fool is not the one.
19:13And you are in no position to speak this way to the head of the Guardians.
19:18It has been decided, Poteus.
19:20You are no longer a Guardian.
19:25Have it your way, Marius.
19:27I have no need for the Guardians or the boy.
19:33Oh no!
19:34He's got both pieces of the Ephemercron!
19:40Go after him!
19:49Don't worry, Antaeus.
19:51He won't get far.
19:56What's all this stuff about the one?
20:01You are important, Antaeus.
20:05But Poteus's strange beliefs are deluded.
20:10Poteus
20:18Marius.
20:19Go ahead, Locus.
20:20We have searched the icebreaker.
20:22Poteus has vanished.
20:24Well, that's annoying.
20:26Thank you.
20:29Marius, why would Poteus endanger all of our lives to find Lemuria?
20:33What's there that he could want so badly?
20:36Oh, the same thing sad, unimaginative people always want, Keiko.
20:42Wealth and power.
20:44At least, the Guardians believe that's what's there.
20:47Some people think you should share more of the Guardians' knowledge, Mr. Narius.
20:51Honestly, Antaeus, we are no closer to finding Lemuria than you are.
20:56Any information I give you may only hinder you.
21:00With both pieces of the Ephemercron, does that mean Poteus will find Lemuria?
21:04But he doesn't have the third piece, and he doesn't have you.
21:09I believe you, the Nekton family, are far more important than any ancient artifacts.
21:16Why?
21:18Oh, call it a hunch.
21:21He's back. Mr. Mysterious.
21:24Yes, I get that a lot.
21:34To be continued...
