[RAIN]

[THUNDER]

LITTLE MAN, LITTLE MAN.

HA HA HA!

[MURMURING]

NEMO?

YOU ARE DREAMING ABOUT NED LAND?

OH, YEAH.

HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN OUT?

SEVERAL DAYS.

IT WAS NECESSARY TO KEEP YOU TRANQUILIZED

WHILE WE WORKED TO HEAL YOU.

NED LAND?

IMPRISONED AGAIN.

MR. LAND WILL LANGUISH IN THE BRIG

UNTIL HE ACCEPTS THE FACT

THAT YOU MUST ALL REMAIN ON BOARD THE NAUTILUS

UNTIL WE REACH OUR DESTINATION.

WHICH IS?

IF I TOLD YOU,

YOU WOULD ONLY THINK ME MAD.

YOU MUST WAIT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

WHEN, AT LEAST, SHALL WE REACH THIS DESTINATION?

WE SAIL CLOSER EVERY DAY.

WE ARE NOW OFF THE COAST OF VISHAKAPATNAM.

INDIA.

THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO SAVE.

WE HAVE GIVEN YOU A REPLACEMENT.

SOME SUGGESTED THROWING YOU IN THE BRIG

AND LEAVING YOU WITH JUST A STUMP,

BUT YOUR COURAGE DESERVED MORE.

YOU'VE MADE ME JUST LIKE YOU.

THE SMALL AMOUNT OF PAIN YOU HAVE SUFFERED

WOULD HAVE TO BE VASTLY MULTIPLIED...

BEFORE YOU COULD EVER BE MISTAKEN FOR ME.

THIS IS MODELED AFTER YOUR OWN?

IT IS A NON-CONDUCTIVE ALLOY OF MY OWN DESIGN,

BUT WITH SOME STYLISTIC IMPROVEMENT.

YOURS, HOWEVER, DOES LACK ONE SIGNIFICANT FEATURE.

THIS EMITS AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL

THAT ENSURES THAT NO ONE WILL EVER SEIZE THE NAUTILUS

FROM MY COMMAND.

WHY ARE YOU SHOWING ME THIS?

REST, PIERRE.

RECOVER.

CAPTAIN?

I SAW A WOMAN.

MR. SHIMODA ALWAYS IMAGINES SEEING THE WIFE HE LEFT BEHIND IN HOKKAIDO.

IVANDA PICTURES A WOMAN IN DUBROVNIK.

WE WILL SEND FOR LOVED ONES

WHEN WE REACH OUR DESTINATION.

STILL, IT'S NOT UNUSUAL FOR YOU TO IMAGINE THEM.

HOW DO YOU THINK THE LEGEND OF MERMAIDS BEGAN?

SO WHAT I SAW WAS A DELUSION?

IF YOU WISH TO SEE A WOMAN,

YOUR ONLY CHOICE IS THE DIVER FROM MALAYA,

BUT SHE IS IN A COMATOSE STATE.

HELLO!

NED MUTTERING: NEMO! YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME IN HERE.

NEVER. NO WAY!

NO WAY AM I STAYING IN HERE.

NICE TRINKET.

IT IS AS AMAZING AS IT IS DISCONCERTING.

YOU'RE GROWING MORE LIKE HIM EVERY DAY.

IF HELPING YOU TO ESCAPE HAD NOT ENDANGERED THE WHOLE SHIP,

I MIGHT STILL HAVE MY HAND.

OH, SO IT'S MY FAULT, IS IT, EH?

A PRISONER TRYING TO GET FREE.

HOW DAMN SELFISH OF ME!

I'LL ASK HIM TO RELEASE YOU.

HEY, DON'T DO ME ANY FAVORS!

WHILE I'M STILL ON THIS BOAT, I'M LOCKED UP!

PRINTMAKING SUPPLIES, MR. ATTUCKS.

YOUR VIGIL MAY PASS MORE QUICKLY

WITH A CRAFT TO STUDY.

YEAH, THANKS.

DO YOU SPEAK HER LANGUAGE?

NOT UNLESS SHE SPEAKS JAPANESE, KOREAN, OR PORTUGUESE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE DROPS IN THE OCEAN EVERY DAY.

I THOUGHT I HAD IT ROUGH BEFORE THE WAR.

FREEDOM AND SLAVERY CAN BE EQUALLY DEMANDING IN THEIR WAYS.

GREAT. NOW I GOT YOU OPENED UP,

YOU'RE BEGINNING TO SOUND JUST LIKE YOUR BOSS.

EXPERIMENT WITH THESE TOOLS.

IF YOU PLAN TO WAIT UNTIL SHE WAKES,

YOU MAY HAVE PLENTY OF TIME.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

YOU'LL PROVE HIM WRONG.

WON'T YOU?

PIERRE: DECEMBER 14TH.

CAPTAIN NEMO REFUSES TO SET NED FREE,

AND YET NEMO SEEMS TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

IN HIS OWN WAY.

HE DONATES GOLD AND JEWELS PLUCKED FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR

INTO THE HANDS OF INDIAN REBELS.

UNTIL GOD SEEMS TO CARE, NEMO WILL INTERVENE.

SHE'S GONE.

I WOKE UP, AND SHE WAS GONE.

LET'S FIND NEMO.

AND YOU'D BELIEVE HIM?

COME ON.

THE OTHER DAY I SAW A WOMAN VANISH AROUND HERE.

YOU WHAT?

THERE ARE MORE MYSTERIES ON THIS SHIP, CABE,

THAN WE COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

NOTHING BUT PIPES HERE.

NO, NO. I WAS FEVERISH AT THE TIME,

BUT I THINK...

LET'S GO.

[DING]

GET THE CAPTAIN.

JUST NOW I WAS WRITING HOW THE CAPTAIN'S MYSTERIES

ONLY SEEM TO GROW.

I HAD NO IDEA.

A GENTLEMAN WOULD KNOCK.

WE DIDN'T MEAN TO INTRUDE.

WELL, I SHOULD THINK YOU DID.

I'VE COME TO EXPECT IT FROM YOU.

LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE,

YOU COLLAPSED AT MY FEET WITHOUT A WORD.

AND I MAY AGAIN.

MR. CABLE ATTUCKS, MA'AM.

FRIENDS CALL ME CABE.

IT'S A PLEASURE. MY NAME IS MARA.

"WOMAN OF THE SEA"?

INDEED.

AND YOU WOULD BE PROFESSOR PIERRE ARRONAX.

YOU KNOW OUR NAMES.

I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON ON THIS SHIP,

ALTHOUGH MY WORK PREVENTS ME FROM LEAVING MY CHAMBERS OFTEN.

AND WHAT WORK IS THAT?

AT PRESENT, I BELIEVE IT S A WOMAN

WHOM YOU KNOW, MR. ATTUCKS.

I AM IMEI.

HOW IS SHE EVEN AWAKE?

I ADMINISTERED A MILD STIMULANT.

YOU'RE A DOCTOR?

OH, NO. NO.

THAT WOULD REQUIRE ME TO COMPORT MYSELF AMONGST THE CREW,

AND THAT DOESN'T COME EASILY TO ME,

BUT I DO COUNT A BIT OF CHEMISTRY AMONGST MY PURSUITS.

I HAVE NEVER MET SO BEAUTIFUL A CHEMIST.

MALFUNCTION CONFIRMED, LEVEL 5.

IS THIS A COMPONENT FROM THE DEVICE

THAT LED TO THE DEATH OF MR. MACAULAY?

I'VE BEEN ASKING IMEI HOW SHE COULD'VE REMOVED THE KEY.

THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN NO WAY

FOR HER TO HAVE TRIGGERED THE DEVICE PREMATURELY,

BUT I CANNOT SOLVE THIS QUESTION.

WOULD THIS HELP?

THIS IS THE TIMING KEY IMEI REMOVED.

THANK YOU.

NOW PERHAPS I WILL SOLVE THIS MYSTERY.

YOU SPOKE OF THESE DEVICES.

HOW MANY WERE THERE?

ENOUGH FOR OUR NEEDS.

YOU'RE TAKING MINERAL SAMPLES FROM ALL THESE LOCATIONS?

MINERAL SAMPLES?

WHY WOULD WE NEED EXPLOSIVES FOR THAT?

BUT CAPTAIN NEMO SAID--

WE SEEK TO ALLEVIATE THE GEO-ECONOMIC PRESSURES OF THE EARTH.

I'VE STUDIED THE INNER STRUCTURES OF THE EARTH,

AND I BELIEVE THAT IF WE EXPLODE ALL OUR DEVICES AT ONCE,

WE'LL RELIEVE ENOUGH PRESSURE

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EARTHQUAKES TO MINIMAL LEVELS.

IN LAYMAN'S TERMS,

WE'LL GIVE THE EARTH A THOROUGH MASSAGE TREATMENT.

THE MUSCLES OF THE EARTH WILL RELAX

AND THE HOMELAND MY FATHER'S BUILDING ON THE OCEAN FLOOR

WILL BE PROTECTED FROM EARTHQUAKES FOR ALL TIME.

HAVE--HAVE I GONE TOO FAST?

WHAT DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND? GEO-ECONOMICS--

I UNDERSTAND YOUR THEORY.

WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHO YOUR FATHER IS.

NEMO: I SHOULD THINK IT QUITE CLEAR.

I'M SORRY YOU'VE BEEN BOTHERED BY THESE MEN, MARA.

IT SHALL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

YOU HAD TO FERRET THROUGH EVERY INCH OF THIS SHIP, DIDN'T YOU?

I ALLOWED YOU FREEDOM, AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT?

MADE USE OF IT.

WE WERE SEARCHING FOR THE MALAYAN GIRL, CAPTAIN,

ONLY TO DISCOVER YOUR DAUGHTER.

YOU LIED IN TELLING ME THERE WERE NO WOMEN ON BOARD.

I DON'T BELIEVE I EVER SAID EXACTLY THOSE WORDS.

DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE A LAWYER ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN FOR HER AS A YOUNG WOMAN--

THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THAT.

RESPECT WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

AND NEVER VISIT MY DAUGHTER AGAIN.

PIERRE: DECEMBER 17TH.

I NEVER IMAGINED ROMANCE ON THIS JOURNEY,

BUT ABOARD THIS CRAFT IS A WOMAN WHO HOLDS A NEW CLAIM ON MY HEART.

YET I AM FORBIDDEN TO SEE HER.

I CAN ONLY STUDY THE FACES OF NEMO'S CREW

AND FOLLOW THE PATH OF OUR VOYAGE

FOR SOME CLUE TO OUR ULTIMATE DESTINATION.

OUR BEARINGS TAKE US FURTHER SOUTH EVERY DAY

TOWARD THE UNCHARTED, PERILOUS WATERS

SURROUNDING THE SOUTH POLE.

NEMO PLANTS MORE OF THE EXPLOSIVE DEVICES THAT MARA SHOWED ME,

BUT SAYS NOTHING OF THEIR TRUE PURPOSE.

AND SO I AM LEFT TO PONDER THE REAL PLAN OF CAPTAIN NEMO.

THE NEXT DEVICE SHOULD BE ON THE LAND SHELF 300 LEAGUES AHEAD...

IF IT STILL EXISTS.

I EXAMINED THE TIMING KEY FROM THE LAST DEVICE,

THANKS TO MONSIEUR ARRONAX,

AND I REALIZED THAT THE HEAT FROM A SULFUR SPRING

HAD CAUSED THE KEY TO DECAY.

THE HEAT IN THE LAND SHELF AHEAD IS CONSIDERABLY GREATER.

WHAT IF THAT DEVICE HAS EXPLODED AS WELL?

I DO HAVE APPREHENSIONS ABOUT OUR EXPLOSIVES, FATHER.

THEY MAY NOT DETONATE AS WE EXPECT.

THE INCIDENT THAT KILLED MACAULAY IS REGRETTABLE, BUT--

WE ARE HOPING OUR DEVICES WILL PUT AN END TO EARTHQUAKES

SO THAT OUR NEW HOME WILL NOT BE DESTROYED AS IT WAS BEFORE.

THAT MEANS WE'RE TRUSTING NATURE TO BEHAVE AS WE PLAN?

ISN'T THAT PRESUMPTUOUS?

THESE THOUGHTS COME FROM ARRONAX?

THEY ARE MY THOUGHTS.

TO WHICH HE, AT LEAST, LISTENS.

MONSIEUR ARRONAX?

MARA!

YOUR FATHER...

WILL BE FINE ON HIS OWN.

I BROUGHT YOU A GIFT.

THANK YOU.

THIS IS FROM--

YOU RECOGNIZE IT?

YOU'VE READ MY BOOK.

I COULDN'T STOP READING IT.

IT'S SO FUNNY. IT'S SO IMAGINATIVE.

IT WASN'T INTENDED AS A WORK OF HUMOR.

OH.

TAKE NO OFFENSE. I...

HOW COULD YOU KNOW WHAT CREATURES DWELL IN THE DEPTHS?

THEY WERE RIGHT WHEN THEY LAUGHED AT ME.

WHO LAUGHED AT YOU?

HOW DARE THEY!

COULDN'T THEY ADMIRE WHAT AN ORIGINAL MIND WAS AT WORK?

THAT'S KIND.

I MADE THAT SCULPTURE YEARS AGO

BECAUSE I LOVED YOUR BOOK SO MUCH.

PIERRE...

I'VE NEVER MET ANOTHER SCIENTIST OTHER THAN MY FATHER.

I'VE NEVER MET ANYONE

WITH SUCH...

CREATIVE INSIGHT.

IT'S QUITE BEGUILING.

GO AHEAD.

I'VE KISSED YOU BEFORE. IT'S ONLY FAIR.

[EXPLOSION]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

GOOD GOD.

[EXPLOSION]

AAH!

108 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

INTERNALLY. ON THE HULL, IT'S MUCH WORSE.

MY DAUGHTER'S FEARS MAY HAVE BEEN CORRECT.

THE EXPLOSIVES WE LEFT AT THIS SITE HAVE GONE,

PROBABLY DESTROYED BY THE ERUPTION OF A NEW VOLCANO.

OR PERHAPS CAUSING AN ERUPTION.

ALL CREW TO EMERGENCY STATIONS.

A VOLCANO? UNDERWATER?

MORE VOLCANOES EXIST UNDERWATER THAN ABOVE GROUND.

THE PRESSURE FROM THE OCEAN KEEPS THEM FROM REACHING THE SURFACE.

THEN WHY DON'T WE JUST RISE TO THE SURFACE?

WE CURRENTLY DWELL IN A CAVERN,

THE ENTRANCE TO WHICH IS NO LONGER VISIBLE.

WE CAN ONLY RISE SO FAR BEFORE WE HIT SOLID ROCK.

HOW CAN WE FLEE

IF WE CANNOT SEE TO NAVIGATE?

AND IF WE CANNOT FLEE,

CAN THE NAUTILUS SURVIVE THIS INFERNO?

IF OUR VIEW DOES NOT CLEAR SOON,

YOUR FRIENDS WILL SHORTLY REGAIN THEIR FREEDOM.

DEATH IS NOT THE KIND OF FREEDOM THEY HAD IN MIND.

CAPTAIN!

MY GOD, THE GLASS WILL MELT.

NEMO: IF WE RISE TOO FAST,

THE COOLING DOWN WILL ONLY SHATTER IT.

MY CHAMBERS! THE GLASS THERE IS DIRECTLY EXPOSED.

RISE VERY SLOWLY.

80 FATHOMS OVER 50 MINUTES.

NO FARTHER, NO FASTER.

THOSE--THOSE BOOKS.

STRUCTURAL FAILURE OUTSIDE YOUR DAUGHTER'S QUARTERS, SIR.

THE HYDRAULIC PIPES.

THAT FLUID WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE DRIVEN

THROUGH THE HEART OF A VOLCANO.

MR. IVANDA, LEAD A FULL COMPLEMENT.

REPORT THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVE!

WE'VE SAVED ALL WE CAN.

LET'S TAKE IT TO A HIGHER DECK.

[COUGHING]

WHAT NOW, NEMO?!

YOU CHARTING A COURSE FOR HELL?!

CAPTAIN, THE HYDRAULIC FLUID IS ABLAZE.

YOUR DAUGHTER AND ARRONAX ARE CAUGHT BEHIND IT.

WE'LL HAVE TO CLOSE THE FIRE DOORS.

YOU WILL NOT CLOSE THE FIRE DOORS AND ABANDON MY DAUGHTER.

THERE ARE HEATING PIPES IN THE CEILING ON THAT CORRIDOR.

LOOSEN THE VALVES AND USE THE FORCE OF THE STEAM!

IVANDA: WE CAN'T GET TO THE VALVE!

THERE'S SOMETHING LETHAL IN THE SMOKE.

REPORT, IVANDA!

YOU SEE AN OPENING IN THIS STEW,

YOU MOVE US, MR. SHIMODA.

[COUGHING]

HERE. I'LL NOT HAVE YOU DYING LIKE A RAT IN A CAGE.

NEMO WILL HAVE YOU COURT-MARTIALED.

[COUGHING]

IT'S NO USE. CAN'T REACH THE VALVE.

WHAT VALVE?

YOU SEE IT?

17 DEGREES STARBOARD.

ON MY SIGNAL!

YOU A WAGERING MAN?

HE DID IT. HE STOPPED THE FIRE.

TAKE CARE OF HIM!

THE BEST OF CARE.

OF COURSE YOU ARE TOGETHER.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE MOVING.

[EXPLOSION]

WE'RE FREE.

WE ARE DOWN TO 3/5 OF OXYGEN TANK ONE.

SHIMODA: TANKS 4 AND 5 WERE ALREADY EXHAUSTED.

THE FIRE CONSUMED ALL OXYGEN IN TANKS 2 AND 3.

ATTENTION, ALL HANDS.

YOU MUST SHARE THE REMAINING AIR TANKS AMONG YOU.

THERE WILL BE NO UNNECESSARY MOVEMENT OR MOTION.

WE ARE FREE TO SAIL, BUT WE ARE FAR FROM SAFETY.

THE ICE PACK EXTENDS HUNDREDS OF LEAGUES.

REDIRECT ALL THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS

TO THE REAR PROPELLERS, MR. SHIMODA.

ALL OTHER POWER USE TO SUBSISTENCE LEVELS.

CAPTAIN, THE ENGINES WILL NOT STAND UP--

WILL TAKE THE STRAIN.

IF THEY DO NOT, WE ARE ALREADY DYING.

WE MAY BE GLAD THAT IT HAPPENS QUICKLY.

SHOULDN'T YOU BE AT YOUR FATHER'S SIDE?

IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS. IF WE HAVE ONLY ONE MORE HOUR LEFT,

SHOULDN'T I SPEND IT WITH YOU?

I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO SEE YOUR DRAWINGS.

THIS YOUR LIFE?

YOU WERE BEATEN.

YOU WERE...

EVERY DAMN CORNER OF THE WORLD.

WE'RE 20 FEET BELOW THE SURFACE.

THE ICE HAS TO BE THINNING.

[ENGINES STRAINING]

TURBINE...

NUMBER 1...

DISABLED.

SEND A TEAM TO THE ENGINES.

BE READY IF ANOTHER FIRE BREAKS OUT.

SECOND TURBINE...

FAILED, CAPTAIN.

SHUT OFF ALL ENGINES...

NOW.

TAKE HIM AWAY.

WE'VE GOT TO BE CLOSE.

WE'VE GOT TO BE.

[CREAKING]

IF WE DIE...

IS THERE ANOTHER WOMAN'S NAME THAT YOU WILL CALL?

THE ONLY WOMAN I'VE THOUGHT OF IN YEARS WAS NAMED LYDIA.

AND SHE WAS MY FATHER'S MISTRESS.

BEST FORGOTTEN THEN.

SURFACE, MR. SHIMODA.

GARRETT...OPEN ALL TOP VENTS THE MOMENT YOU CAN.

THE SURFACE.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD WANT TO SEE IT...

SO BADLY.

CAPTAIN.

2 TURBINES ARE DISABLED.

YOUR DAUGHTER'S CHAMBERS MUST BE REINFORCED.

AND THE STARBOARD HULL IS DAMAGED.

WE'LL REMAIN HERE FOR THE DAY, ASSESS THE DAMAGE,

THEN WE'LL TRAVEL TO WARMER WATERS

AND SET OUT A REPAIR CREW.

THE SUN.

MUST BE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR YOU, ADMIRAL...

UNBROKEN STRING OF NAVAL VICTORIES

FINALLY BROUGHT TO AN END.

STRANGE TO SEE US EMPLOYING WEAPONS OF THE REBELS.

TO THE VICTOR GO THE SPOILS, CONGRESSMAN.

WE DEFEAT THE ENEMY,

HIS VESSEL BECOMES PART OF OUR ARSENAL AS WELL.

HAVE WE MET, SIR?

PROFESSOR THIERRY ARRONAX,

FATHER TO THE BOY WHO WAS KILLED

DURING THE ADMIRAL'S LAST EXPEDITION.

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS JUST A BOY.

OH, HE WAS...A MAN... CONGRESSMAN.

MISS LYDIA RAWLINGS,

UH, CONGRESSMAN GARFIELD.

WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS, ARRONAX?

THE GENTLEMAN IS PRESENTED TO THE LADY, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

CHARMED.

ARRONAX IS LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A FAIR COMPANION.

OH, I'M NOT HERE AS HIS COMPANION, SIR,

BUT AS A FRIEND OF PIERRE ARRONAX,

CONCERNED FOR HIS LEGACY.

UH, PARDON, MA'AM.

12 CANNONS, PORT AND STARBOARD FORWARD GUNS...

DAVID SUBMERSIBLES,

GATLING GUNS, SURFACE CHARGES. THAT SHOULD DO US.

LUCKY FOR YOU THERE'S A MILITARY MAN

IN THE WHITE HOUSE, ADMIRAL.

SEE HERE--

THE PACIFIC SIGHTINGS ARE ALL RANDOM.

GARFIELD: IN THE ATLANTIC, A PATTERN.

THE SIGHTINGS CLUSTER NEAR HERE.

THAT'S WHERE WE'LL MEET HIM SOONER OR LATER.

THIS TIME WE'LL BE READY.

WE'LL TEACH A LESSON IN REVENGE.

REVENGE.

YES.

[ORGAN PLAYS]

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU MIGHT NOT SET NED LAND ASHORE.

THIS UNDERSEA HOME YOU ARE BUILDING,

SURELY YOU KNOW HE WANTS NO PART OF IT.

AND HE DESERVES THANKS FOR HIS BRAVERY IN SAVING YOUR CRAFT.

WAS IT BRAVERY?

OR JUST SELF-PRESERVATION?

I WISH TO SPEAK TO YOU, ARRONAX. SIT DOWN.

THOUGH I COULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AT THE TIME,

IT MEANT MUCH TO ME

THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT ALONE DURING THE CRISIS.

HER HEART IS CLEARLY DRAWN TO YOU.

IF I MAY...

I UNDERSTAND A FATHER'S PROTECTIVENESS,

BUT THE ANGER I SEE IS SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

MANY YEARS AGO,

I WAS ANOTHER MAN--

A MAN SAILING BETWEEN NATIONS...

SOMETIMES ALONE, SOMETIMES...

WITH MY FAMILY...

TRYING TO AVOID WAR.

BUT WAR COULD NOT ALWAYS BE AVOIDED.

I WILL NOT RECOUNT MY TRAGEDY...

THE ABOMINATION.

SUFFICE TO SAY THAT MY WIFE PAID DEARLY

FOR MY NAIVETÉ.

BEFORE MY EYES...

SHE...

I UNDERSTAND.

YOU COULD NOT.

MARA SURVIVED. HER MOTHER DID NOT.

SHE WAS TOO YOUNG FOR MY ENEMIES TO NOTICE.

BUT WHAT SHE SAW AFFECTED HER DEEPLY.

IT HAS BEEN MY DUTY...

TO PROTECT HER FROM A TREACHEROUS WORLD.

PERHAPS I...

NEED TO PROTECT HER NO LONGER.

OR PERHAPS YOU'VE GAINED AN ALLY IN PROTECTING HER.

MY SON'S THEORIES ABOUT THE THREAT IN OUR OCEANS

WERE TRAGICALLY,

MISGUIDEDLY, PAINFULLY WRONG,

AND HE PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR THAT IGNORANCE.

BUT FROM HIS SACRIFICE, WE NOW KNOW OUR ENEMY IS HUMAN,

AND WHAT IS HUMAN CAN BE CONQUERED.

[CHEERING]

WISH US GODSPEED

AS OUR LEADER ADMIRAL WILLIAM MCCUTCHEON GUIDES US TO VICTORY.

AND I, PROFESSOR THIERRY ARRONAX,

SEEK THE VENGEANCE THAT IS MINE.

BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

[APPLAUDING]

BRAVO!

[APPLAUSE]

WHAT A MAGICIAN.

ALL THAT RESENTMENT OF PIERRE ALL GONE

SO THAT YOU CAN PLAY A NEW ROLE.

I HONOR HIM BY AVENGING HIS DEATH.

HE WAS THE LAST TIE I HAD TO HIS MOTHER... AND NOW HE'S GONE.

NOW YOU SAY SO. IT'S A SHAME YOU NEVER SHOWED SUCH CONCERN FOR HIM

BEFORE HE LEFT.

AND NOW I'LL BE LEAVING, LYDIA.

I'LL BE GOING OFF TO SEA...

AND I MAY NOT BE COMING BACK.

CARE TO HONOR ME WITH A KISS?

NO. IT'S ONLY MY SON

GETS THAT KIND OF SENDOFF.

UNH!

WHAT'S KEEPING YOU FROM JOINING THE GREAT ADVENTURE, MR. SAXON?

THE NEW ARMAMENTS. WHEN THE WEAPONS OUTNUMBER THE MEN,

THAT'S WHEN I JUMP SHIP.

NOW THAT THE ADMIRAL'S PAYING FOR THE MISSION HIMSELF,

WHY RISK YOUR OWN LIFE?

IT'S SAFER TO LET THE SOLDIERS DO THE FIGHTING,

AND MORE BUSINESSLIKE.

YOU'RE SOMEWHAT CHANGED, MISS RAWLINGS.

A LITTLE MORE HONEST... PERHAPS.

AND WHAT KEEPS YOU FROM THE EXPEDITION?

ROUGH PLACE, OF COURSE, FOR A WOMAN.

I FIND MYSELF SUDDENLY...

OBLIGED TO LOOK FOR EMPLOYMENT.

OH. UM, WELL... THEN PERHAPS YOU MIGHT

WANT TO LOOK UP, UH...

THIS GENTLEMAN. HE'S A FRENCH CHAP,

UH, A NOVELIST BY THE NAME OF VERNE.

HE CALLED ON ME ASKING ABOUT THE SUBMARINES.

I CONFESS, MISS RAWLINGS,

I CAME HERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE ABOARD.

I ENJOYED PICTURING YOU AS A STOWAWAY.

IT'S A ROMANTIC NOTION, I SUPPOSE.

INDEED.

I, UH...

I'M AFRAID I...

NO LONGER BELIEVE IN...

ROMANCE.

ARE YOU READY?

WHENEVER YOU ARE.

ISN'T IT MAGNIFICENT?

I WOULDN'T HAVE EXPECTED YOU

TO CARE ABOUT A PHENOMENON OF THE SURFACE WORLD.

MY FATHER AND I HAVE FORSWORN THE LAND,

BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE US BLIND TO THE SKY.

BUT...

SEEING ALL THIS SPLENDOR

SHOWS ME THE POWER OF MY FATHER'S WILL.

OH?

HE'S BEEN SO ANGRY AT THE WORLD,

HE'S MANAGED TO MAKE ME FORGET ITS BEAUTY.

I LOOK AT THE SKY

AND SOMEHOW I SEE INTO MYSELF.

HOW CAN THAT BE?

THE SKY LEAVES YOU ALONE.

THE OCEAN ALWAYS SURROUNDS YOU,

IS AT YOU.

THE SKY...

ALLOWS YOU ROOM TO THINK.

I TOLD YOU WHAT INSIGHTS YOU HAD, DIDN'T I?

SHOULD I LEAVE YOU ALONE?

OF COURSE NOT.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO BRIGHT ONE MOMENT AND IMPOSSIBLE THE NEXT?

YEARS OF DEMANDING, ARDUOUS PRACTICE.

PIERRE: DECEMBER 20TH.

WE ARE SAILING TO WARMER WATERS,

WHERE NEMO'S CREW CAN SAFELY REPAIR THE DAMAGED HULL.

REACHING THE SURFACE HAS AFFECTED NED LAND PROFOUNDLY.

EVERY NIGHT HE CLIMBS TOPSIDE TO STARE AT THE CONSTELLATIONS,

NEVER SPEAKING A WORD.

CABE'S CAPTIVITY HAS BEEN EASED BY THE PRESENCE OF IMEI,

BUT MY OWN THOUGHTS ARE MORE TROUBLED.

IN NEMO'S LIBRARY, I FOUND A VOLUME

THAT ONLY ADDS TO MY MISGIVINGS.

CABE. THIS NOVEL WAS PUBLISHED

SHORTLY BEFORE WE LEFT.

"JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH."

ITS AUTHOR POSTULATES THAT A HIDDEN WORLD

EXISTS BENEATH THE MANTLE OF THE EARTH.

THOUGH IT'S FICTION, NO SCIENTIST CAN SAY FOR CERTAIN THAT HE'S WRONG.

AND WHO'S TO SAY NEMO'S FIREWORKS

WON'T POKE THROUGH TO THAT WORLD?

THE OCEANS WOULD DRAIN. THE PLANET WOULD BE THROWN OFF COURSE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE CHAOS?

IT IS UNIMAGINABLE.

NOT EVEN MY FATHER CAN SEE THE POSSIBLE DANGER.

I'VE TRIED TO OPEN HIS EYES, BUT TO NO AVAIL.

I SHALL HAVE TO CHOOSE THE MOMENT VERY CAREFULLY IF HE'S TO HEAR ME.

YOU ARE A BIT LATE JOINING THE WORK CREW, MR. ATTUCKS.

WE ARE ALMOST DONE FOR THE NIGHT.

YOU'RE BEING POLITE...

'CAUSE I CAN'T SEE WORKING FOR NO MAN WHO LOCKS ME UP.

I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOUR PLIGHT.

BUT JOINING THE WORK OF THE SHIP COULD DISTRACT YOU.

I'M DISTRACTED.

VERY GOOD. BUT IF YOU WILL NOT WORK,

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY.

THE OCEAN AWAITS.

YOU'D LET US?

WHERE WOULD YOU FLEE TO?

I AM HERE AS OVERSEER TO VOUCH FOR YOU.

HA HA HA HA!

HA HA!

THAT DOESN'T LOOK TOO FAR.

WHY SHOULD THEY HAVE ALL THE FUN, EH, NITONGU?

WE SHOULD JOIN 'EM.

OFF WE GO, THEN.

THE REPAIRS WILL BE FINISHED IN SHORT ORDER.

THEN IT WILL BE TIME FOR ANOTHER HUNT.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

NO MORE SEAWEED FOR NED LAND.

[CLUCKING]

[SQUAWKS]

[TURKEY MOANS]

FREEDOM!

ECHO: FREEDOM!

FREEDOM!

TIME TO RETURN, MR. LAND!

NO!

YOU WERE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, ARRONAX.

THIS SHIP IS A BEAST.

JUST LET ME LIVE ON THE ISLAND.

LEAVE ME!

SAIL AWAY.

ANOTHER SHIP WILL COME ONE DAY,

AND THE WORLD WILL HEAR OF ME.

YOU THINK YOU CAN KEEP THE WORLD OUT FOREVER?

LET MY DAUGHTER GO, LAND.

LOCK UP ANYONE WHO TUMBLES ON YOU?

BACK OFF.

LEAVE ME BE!

AAH!

YOU'RE KILLING HIM! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

ENOUGH!

THROW HIM BACK IN THE BRIG.

IF HE RESISTS AGAIN, SHOOT HIM.

THAT HOW IT IS?

THE TWO OF YOU JUST KILL ANYONE THAT ARGUES?

YOU WANT TO SIDE WITH HIM, DO YOU?

THROW HIM IN THE BRIG, TOO.

LEAVE THE BOTH OF THEM THERE TILL THEY ROT.

FATHER...

HE THREATENED YOU.

THAT I CANNOT ALLOW.

I'VE TALKED TO HIM,

THOUGH I DON'T WHY I PLEAD FOR A MAN WHO USED ME SO.

NOT THAT IT MATTERS. HE WON'T RECANT.

'COURSE NOT.

IF A MAN HIDES FROM THE SUN, HIS HEART GROWS DARK, TOO.

THINK YOU SCIENTISTS WOULD KNOW THAT.

IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOUR OWN HEART?

IS IT GROWING SO DARK YOU ATTACK BOTH FRIENDS AND ENEMIES?

ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT ME THROUGH BARS IS AN ENEMY.

THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO HERE, MARA,

EXCEPT TO MAKE HIM ANGRIER.

THERE IS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO.

YOU EVER HEARD OF SCRIMSHAW?

I IMAGINE I COULD GET YOU SOME WHALEBONE,

BUT NEMO WON'T ALLOW YOU A CARVING KNIFE.

AS IF I'D GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO ANYONE TO USE IT.

YOU GAVE A GOOD ACCOUNT OF YOURSELF, ARRONAX.

MAYBE NEMO'S TAUGHT YOU SOMETHING ABOUT BEING A MAN.

I DON'T NEED TO FIGHT YOU.

IT'S NOT A LESSON I WISH TO LEARN.

MARA: "JANUARY 1ST. NEW YEAR.

"BUT THIS IS AN ANNIVERSARY MY COMPANIONS CANNOT SHARE.

"WE HAVE SAILED INTO THE ATLANTIC.

"PRESENTLY WE SKIRT THE SARGASSO SEA,

"TAKING CARE NOT TO BE MAROONED

AS SO MANY OTHERS HAD BEEN."

BUT OUR FINAL DESTINATION REMAINS A MYSTERY.

THAT IS MY FATHER'S DREAM.

IF HE CANNOT DISCUSS IT WITH YOU,

I CANNOT, EITHER.

YOU CANNOT?

FORGIVE ME, BUT I THOUGHT WE HAD REACHED SOME SORT OF...

HAD REACHED A TRUST, YES.

YOU WERE NOT WRONG.

BUT YOUR TRUE LOYALTY IS WITH YOUR FATHER.

OF COURSE.

I HAVE FACED THIS ONCE BEFORE

WITH A WOMAN WHOSE LOYALTY WAS TO MY OWN FATHER.

I HAVE OBTAINED SOME WHALEBONE FOR NED, AS YOU ASKED.

WITHOUT A KNIFE, IT IS ONLY ONE MORE SIGN OF HIS CAPTIVITY.

I CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO HELP THEM ANY FURTHER,

BUT IF I DO NOT, WHO WILL?

CAPTAIN, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MR. ATTUCKS AND MR. LAND.

LITTLE MAN.

WHAT?

YOU THINK MUCH OF HIM, I SURMISE.

UNDER SEDATION, YOU KEPT CALLING, "LITTLE MAN."

I WAS NOT REFERRING TO MR. LAND.

I HAVE A RECURRING DREAM.

MY ROOM FILLS WITH WATER.

AND THEN I'M IN THE OCEAN

WHERE NETS ENCIRCLE ME...

AND DRAG ME DOWN.

AND A HUGE FIGURE TAUNTS ME BY CALLING ME...

"LITTLE MAN."

YOU HAVE HAD THIS DREAM FOR HOW LONG?

SINCE BOYHOOD.

I AM A COMPLETIST,

SO I HAVE ONE OF YOUR FATHER'S MONOGRAPHS ON OCEANOGRAPHY.

BUT WHAT I HAVE IN FAR GREATER QUANTITIES

ARE WORKS THAT REFUTE HIS THEORIES.

HE IS WELL KNOWN IN OUR FIELD AS A POMPOUS GAS BAG

WHO CARES MORE FOR FAME THAN FOR SCIENTIFIC ACCURACY.

YOU, HOWEVER, ARE A YOUNG INTELLECT

POISED TO MAKE MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS

TO THE STUDY OF OCEAN LIFE.

SIT DOWN, PLEASE.

WOULD IT BE TRUE

THAT YOUR FATHER CONSTANTLY BELITTLED AND MOCKED YOU?

YES.

WHAT ELSE COULD HE DO,

THREATENED BY YOU AS HE IS?

AND YOU THINK HE'S THE MENACING FIGURE IN MY DREAM?

ARRONAX HAS ALWAYS BEEN YOUR GREATEST ENEMY.

WHAT A PITY YOU COULD NOT HAVE HAD A FATHER

WHO COULD RECOGNIZE YOUR TRUE SKILLS.

LOOK.

SO THE DEVILSHIP FLOATED THROUGH HERE OFTEN.

MAYBE HE WANTED TO SEE THE AZORES.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE'LL EVER COME BACK?

THERE'S DEATH IN THESE WATERS.

EVERY SAILOR KNOWS IT.

LISTEN.

HEAR HOW QUIET THEY ARE?

THIS IS THE PERFECT SPOT TO FIND OUR ENEMY.

SO WE WAIT AND WATCH?

WE'LL GROW CATARACTS.

WE HAVE HELP IN THAT.

MCCUTCHEON: THERE'S A LEGEND OF SOME NORSE GOD

WHO SENT RAVENS OUT ACROSS THE GLOBE

TO DO HIS SPYING FOR HIM.

HECTOR GOES ONE BETTER THAN THOSE BIRDS.

HAVE PATIENCE.

HECTOR WILL FIND US THE BLOOD WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

WELL, WHEN WE FIND IT, ADMIRAL, A FAVOR.

LET ME BE THE FIRST TO BOARD THE ENEMY SHIP

AND CLAIM IT FOR YOUR COUNTRY.

THAT HONOR NORMALLY BELONGS TO THE COMMANDER OF THE SHIP.

WELL, THEN THE TWO OF US TOGETHER.

WE CAN TAKE ONE OF THE DAVID SUBS.

I'VE LOOKED THEM OVER. EASY ENOUGH TO STEER.

WE'LL STAKE A CLAIM TOGETHER.

THAT HONOR BELONGS TO THE COMMANDER OF THE SHIP!

OF COURSE, ADMIRAL.

[SOFTLY] AS YOU WILL, ADMIRAL.

WHERE DO YOU EXPECT TO GO WHEN YOU GET OUT OF HERE?

WHEREVER I CAN, MATE.

THERE'S ONLY SO MANY PLACES YOU CAN HIDE IN THIS SHIP.

MAYBE I WON'T HIDE.

MAYBE I'LL MAKE HIM CHOOSE BETWEEN HIS SHIP AND SETTING ME FREE.

AND THEN... WHEN HE CALLS YOUR BLUFF?

THEN WE'LL SEE, WON'T WE?

YOU ARE DEDICATED, MR. LAND,

I GIVE YOU THAT.

WE'LL HAVE IT OUT RIGHT NOW, SHALL WE?

DON'T DO IT, NED.

YOU HAVE TRIED TO ESCAPE 3 TIMES.

PIERRE HAS LOST A HAND,

AND YOU HAVE LOST MUCH OF YOUR SKIN.

WHAT CONCLUSION MIGHT BE DRAWN?

HOW ABOUT WE WON'T GIVE UP

TILL WE'RE NOTHING BUT BONES?

A SHARK ATTACKED YOU, AND I SAVED YOUR LIFE.

PARDON ME FOR WANTING TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT, THEN.

YOU'RE QUIET.

NEMO ONLY KEEPS YOU ALIVE AS A KINDNESS TO ME.

SO YOU'D HAVE US JUST GIVE UP?

[CHUCKLING]

"VOL-CANO."

VOLCANO. THAT'S RIGHT.

EDUCATING HER IN THE PERILS WE FACE?

IT IS A PLEASURE TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE WHO'S MIND IS OPEN.

UNLIKE MYSELF, I SUPPOSE.

THAT VOLCANO WAS TRIGGERED BY ONE OF OUR EXPLOSIVES.

THE SUBTERRANEAN HEAT MELTED THE TIMING KEY.

SO YOU SPECULATE.

IS IT ANY HARDER TO SPECULATE THAT OTHER NATURAL PHENOMENA

COULD DISRUPT OUR OTHER EXPLOSIVES?

WILL YOU NOT RECONSIDER OUR PLANS?

TO SAFEGUARD OUR HOME, MARA, IT'S NECESSARY FOR ME TO--

WHAT, TAMPER WITH NATURE?

YOU FLED CIVILIZATION TO EMBRACE NATURE.

WILL YOU NOT TRUST IT NOW?

YOU ASKED TO SEE ME, MR. ATTUCKS?

YEAH.

I WANTED YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF STANDING BEFORE ME.

YOU GIVE ME NO CHOICE.

IF I WERE TO GIVE YOU THE FREEDOM THAT YOU ASK,

IT WOULD DESTROY ME.

AIN'T THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THAT STORY.

PIERRE TELLS ME YOU ON THE SIDE OF THE OPPRESSED.

I GUESS EVERYTHING CHANGES.

NEMO: COME IN.

IF YOU'VE COME TO CONTINUE MARA'S ARGUMENT

OR PLEAD FOR YOUR FRIENDS,

DON'T WASTE YOUR BREATH.

DO YOU KNOW...

WHO THESE MEN ARE?

THE ITALIAN MANIN,

THE IRISH O'CONNELL,

KOSCIUSKO FROM POLAND,

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

LIBERATORS ALL.

DO YOU FEEL OUT OF PLACE AMONG THEM?

PIERRE, I WOULD BE OBLIGED

IF YOU WOULD HAVE DINNER WITH ME THIS EVENING.

WE HAVE MUCH TO DISCUSS.

IS THIS MUTINY ON YOUR PART,

OR YOU CAN'T RESIST A PRETTY FACE?

MY GUESTS,

MY DAUGHTER,

THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME

THE BEST GIFT THAT ANYONE CAN OFFER.

YOU HAVE MADE ME THINK.

THIS... GENERATES A SIGNAL

LIKE THAT EMPLOYED BY THE SPERM WHALE,

WITH WHICH WE CONTROL THE EXPLOSIVE DEVICES

WE HAVE PLACED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

WITHOUT THIS TO SUSTAIN THE SIGNAL,

THE TIMING KEYS WILL FUSE TO THE DETONATORS...

[CLICKING AND WHIRRING]

AND RENDER THE EXPLOSIVE DEVICES USELESS.

WHY IN THE BLOODY HELL AM I HERE TO WATCH THIS?

IT'S UP TO YOU, MR. LAND.

DO WE ATTEMPT TO CURE THIS PLANET OF GEOLOGICAL UPHEAVALS,

OR DO WE TAKE OUR CHANCES WITH NATURE?

YOU KNOW MY ANSWER.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU FOR ADVICE.

YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE.

IT IS DECIDED.

IF AN EARTHQUAKE STRIKES OUR NEW HOME--

AND IT HAS DONE ONCE BEFORE--

IT IS NATURE'S WILL, IN WHOM WE TRUST.

FREEDOM IS A RISK.

THANKS TO NED LAND, WE MUST TAKE THAT RISK.

SO IT'S ON MY HEAD NOW.

ANOTHER TRICK?

NO TRICK.

WHAT GREATER FREEDOM COULD I GIVE YOU

THAN TO ENTRUST OUR FATE

TO THE MAN WHO TRUSTS ME THE LEAST?

WE HAVE TRAVELED 20,000 LEAGUES

TO REACH OUR NEW HOME.

WHEN WE ARRIVE,

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO REMAIN,

I WILL RETURN YOU TO THE SURFACE.

I WONDER IF YOU SHALL REALLY WISH TO LEAVE.

WHERE THE HELL ARE WE HEADED?

A LOST WORLD, GENTLEMEN.

A FABLED WORLD.

A WORLD NO MODERN MAN BELIEVES TO EXIST.

ATLANTIS.

BEHOLD.

THE GUARDIANS AT THE GATES

WELCOME YOU TO ATLANTIS...

A LEGEND OF HISTORY SOON TO BE LEGENDARY AGAIN.

I CANNOT WRITE ABOUT THIS!

I CAN'T DO IT JUSTICE.

EVERYTHING I...

WE WILL BE THERE SOON?

YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I COULD NOT TELL YOU BEFORE?

IT WAS NOT MY RIGHT.

IT WAS YOUR FATHER'S DREAM,

A DREAM ONLY HE COULD MAKE ME BELIEVE.

ATLANTIS REALLY EXISTS!

EVERYTHING PLATO SAID WAS TRUE.

YOU'LL JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF SOON ENOUGH, PIERRE.

WE'LL BE THERE AS SOON AS THE DIVING BELLS ARE READY.

I DID NOT COME HERE TO WATCH YOU WRITE IN YOUR JOURNAL.

YOUR FATHER WARNED ME AGAINST SEDUCING YOU.

PIERRE, A WOMAN OFFERS HERSELF

OR SHE DOES NOT.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

THE ONLY WOMEN WHO ARE SEDUCED

ARE THE ONES WHO DO NOT WISH TO BE CAUGHT OFFERING THEMSELVES.

HOW DID YOU BECOME SO WISE GROWING UP SO ALONE?

WHO DID YOU BECOME WISE GROWING UP SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE?

MR. LAND'S INJURIES WILL KEEP HIM ABOARD,

BUT HE WILL SEE OUR NEW HOME SOON ENOUGH.

WE MUST LEAVE NOW.

THE DIVING BELL WILL GET US TO THE CITY WITHIN MINUTES.

YOUR CAPTAIN MAKES ME LAUGH.

HE TALKS ABOUT SETTING ME FREE,

AND THEN HE DOES THIS.

WE'RE PREPARED TO LEAVE.

GIVEN YOUR HISTORY, THIS PRECAUTION IS MERELY PRUDENT.

ALL KINGDOMS AND COUNTRIES COLLAPSE IN TIME,

DESTROYED BY THE SEA.

THE FLOOD RAVAGED NOAH'S LAND.

THE OCEAN CLAIMED ATLANTIS.

WATER IS THE GREAT NURTURER OF LIFE

AND THE GREAT DESTROYER.

LIFE AROSE FROM THE OCEAN,

AND IT MUST RETURN THERE.

AND SO WE COME BEARING THE LEARNING AND CULTURE OF THE WORLD

BACK TO THIS ANCIENT PARADISE,

TO ESCAPE THE MADNESS OF THE SURFACE

TO A HAVEN CALLED NEW ATLANTIS.

WELCOME, MY FRIENDS.

YOU BUILT ALL THIS UNDERWATER?

THE SEPARATE ELEMENTS WERE CONSTRUCTED ABOVE.

WITH THE USE OF MANY DIVING BELLS,

WE REASSEMBLED THEM ON THIS SITE.

I'M NOT GOING TO ANOTHER PRISON.

THIS WAS THE HOME OF ATLANTIS' KING.

YES, BUT THE NEW ATLANTIS WON'T HAVE A KING.

OUR LAW SHALL BE THE LAW OF EQUALS.

THE LAW OF EQUALS?

THIS IS THE CULMINATION...

OF YEARS OF STRUGGLES...

AND DREAMS.

AT LAST I CAN REST.

NOOOO!

[ALARM BLARING]

MR. ATTUCKS, STAY WITH THE WOMEN UNTIL I RETURN.

PIERRE?

BLOW THE WATER BALLAST!

RISE! RISE!

I WILL NOT STAY HERE AND FRET

WHILE MY FATHER'S DREAMS ARE IN DANGER.

[SHRIEKS]

MAN: ON THE PORT SIDE!

HELMSMAN, CLOSE IN!

ARM THE DAVID SUBS!

GUESS I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A HERO. STAND BACK.

STEADY.

THERE YOU ARE.

STEADY.

FIRE!

HELP HIM!

HARD ABOUT! GIVE THEM A FIGHT!

HELMSMAN, CLOSE IN.

[CANNONS FIRING]

READY TORPEDOES!

HELP HIM!

I CAN'T CONTROL IT!

THEY'RE UNDER ATTACK!

SUBMARINERS, HEAVE OFF!

FIRE!

WHAT'S WRONG?

THE MECHANISMS OF THE TORPEDOES MUST BE CRIPPLED.

ABANDON SHIP!

ABANDON SHIP!

ABANDON SHIP!

THEY'RE KILLING THE NAUTILUS! ABANDON SHIP!

THEY'RE PIRATES! THEY'RE PIRATES! SHOOT THEM DOWN!

SHOOT THEM DOWN!

WHERE ARE THEY?

WHERE ARE MY MEN?

ADMIRAL, SOMETHING SURFACED OFF THE PORT BOW!

GRAPPLE IT ABOARD!

BREAK IT OPEN!

WHAT KIND OF INHUMAN ENEMY DO WE FACE, ARRONAX,

THAT HE SENDS WOMEN INTO BATTLE FOR HIM?

ARRONAX.

YOU ARE THE FATHER OF PIERRE ARRONAX?

BUT HOW--

SILENCE!

HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?

HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?

ANSWER ME.

MCCUTCHEON: TAKE HER BELOW.

COME, SIR. LET'S CLAIM THE SUBMARINE.

I WILL NOT TELL YOU AGAIN, ARRONAX.

I, ALONE, WILL BOARD HER,

I, ALONE, WILL CLAIM VICTORY.

NEMO: MY GOD, THE ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

PIERRE: ADMIRAL MCCUTCHEON.

I SHOULD HAVE FINISHED THEM THE FIRST TIME.

TORPEDOES.

I'LL SEE TO THIS. YOU TAKE THE WHEEL.

WHEN YOU HEAR THE SIGNAL,

YOU DO ONE COMPLETE TURN TO THE RIGHT,

STRAIGHTEN UP, AND HOLD ON.

WE CANNOT DIVE AGAIN UNTIL THE HULL IS REPAIRED,

BUT PERHAPS WE CAN LEAVE OUR ENEMIES BEHIND IN FLAMES!

[ALARM]

WELL DONE.

WE WILL WAIT AND MAKE SURE

THAT THE SHIP HAS BURNED DOWN,

AND THEN WE WILL TAKE A DIVING BELL

AND RETRIEVE MARA AND THE OTHERS.

WILL THEY BE SAFE UNTIL THEN?

THEY ARE IN THEIR NEW HOME NOW.

YOU TAUGHT ME TO TRUST,

THAT NOTHING WILL GO WRONG THERE.

YOUR HAND.

IT'S FUSED SOLID.

YES.

INDEED.

REST, CAPTAIN.

STAND ASIDE, BOY.

LET THE MEN TALK.

PIERRE ARRONAX SPEAKS FOR ME.

GOT A NEW PATRON, HUH?

YOU DON'T CARE THAT I'M ALIVE?

YOU DON'T CARE THAT I'M SAFE?

YOU'RE MY SON.

YOU DON'T NEED ME TO FAWN ALL OVER YOU.

NO. I AM NO LONGER YOUR SON.

NED LAND IS YOUR SON.

ADOPTED THE WHELP, HAVE WE?

MCCUTCHEON IS YOUR SON.

MEN WHO DESTROY ARE YOUR SONS.

THAT'S NO WAY TO TALK, PIERRE.

I KNOW THERE'S BEEN ROUGH WATER BETWEEN US,

BUT THIS COULD BE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SMOOTH IT ALL OVER.

MY WHOLE LIFE...

I'VE WAITED SO LONG

FOR SOME KIND OF ACCEPTANCE FROM YOU,

AND NOW--

THIS CRAFT BELONGS TO US NOW.

WE SAIL THIS BEHEMOTH BACK TO WASHINGTON, WE'RE HEROES,

FATHER AND SON.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, MAYBE NOT THE STATES.

PARIS AND THE EMPEROR

OR MAYBE WE NAME OUR PRICE

AND WATCH THE BIDS ROLL IN.

THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

CAPTAIN NEMO WILL DIE FIRST.

WELL...

NO!

YOU WILL NOT KILL HIM.

YOU WILL NOT KILL THIS SHIP.

IT'S OUR GOOD SHIP THAT'S BEEN KILLED, SIR.

AT LEAST YOUR OWN MEN JOINED IT

AND EVEN THAT GIRL YOU SENT AGAINST US.

GIRL?

BOTHERS YOU, DOES IT?

WE CAUGHT SOME LITTLE FAIR-SKINNED LASSIE

IN ONE OF YOUR SEA BUBBLES.

TOOK HER ON BOARD

JUST IN TIME FOR YOU TO BLOW HER UP.

MARA.

MARA!

NO!

[GUNSHOT]

NO!

SHAME YOU DIDN'T WANT IN ON THIS WITH ME, BOY.

DON'T SAY I NEVER GAVE YOU A CHANCE.

NOW THE SHIP IS MINE.

NEVER.

AMAZING.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

WHAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE WITH A CRAFT LIKE THIS.

PIERRE: JANUARY 1, 1900,

I HAVE SPENT THE TURN THE NEW CENTURY

READING MY DIARIES FROM YEARS AGO.

NO ONE NOW BELIEVES THE NAUTILUS EXISTED

OUTSIDE THE NOVEL MR. VERNE CREATED FROM MY MEMOIRS.

I HAVE BEEN CONTENT TO LEAVE IT THAT WAY,

RATHER THAN SEE THE WORLD HUNT HIM AGAIN

IF SOMEHOW HE SURVIVED.

COULD HE HAVE SURVIVED?

CABE AND IMEI ESCAPED THE CATACLYSM

IN THE LAST OF NEMO'S DIVING BELLS

AND BROUGHT ME BACK TO SHORE.

EVERY DAY NOW I WATCH THE OCEAN

WONDERING IF SOMEHOW MARA OR HER FATHER WILL APPEAR.

BUT EVEN IF THEY DID SURVIVE,

WHY WOULD THEY EVER APPEAR ON THE SURFACE AGAIN?

I KNOW THE ONLY THING CAPTAIN NEMO EVER WANTED WAS...

NEMO: TO LIVE, GENTLEMEN,

IN THE EMBRACE OF THE SEA.

ONLY HERE IS THERE INDEPENDENCE.

HERE I RECOGNIZE NO MASTER.

HERE I AM FREE.
