Ant: I never thought we would be coming back to Lemuria so soon.

Yeah, we just have to get past the Kraken first.

Mmm.

Just keep sleeping.

[humming]

Very careful.

You know me.

And that's why he said it.

Ah, Lemuria.

I can't quite believe we found

our grandparent's communicator in Lemuria.

Believe it. I'm cleaning it.

I also can't believe you're cleaning something.

Bottom line, they found Lemuria before us.

So, they're alive.

Whoa!

Look! Gramps has been messing with this.

They recorded something.

[clears throat]

Hello Son.

Hello Kaiko.

Greetings Fontaine and Ant.

When we finally found Lemuria,

[static]

...Kathryn figured you'd find it soon too.

So, we thought we'd leave this message here

in case we just miss each other.

Wow. Go Grandma.

Grandpa: We've been stuck here for three months.

We had an "encounter" with the Kraken.

Not friendly.

He's the perfect blend of giant arms and anger issues.

Did some damage to our sub.

It's taken this long to fix it properly.

But now, listen, here's what we're gonna do...

[electrical short]

Ah! That wasn't me. It died.

Grandpa, c'mon!

What were you going to do?

My family are explorers.

We have been for generations.

While others look up to the stars...

...we know there are an infinite number of things

that shine in the darkness below.

There are things lurking in the seas

that long ago vanished into myth.

My family are The Nektons.

And we explore...

THE DEEP!

They've got to be here somewhere.

But we've already been over every inch of Lemuria

when we were searching for Ant.

We would have seen something, surely.

Oh, Grandma and Grandpa don't have Knights.

If they went outside, they'd make contact with this algae...

They'd be turned to...

Stone. I know. Check every statue.

Both: Whooaa!!!

Both: Sorry.

No trace of them. Or their submarine.

And that's a hard thing to miss.

Think... Where would they go?

Nereus: Found something!

Look, 6,000 years ago

this column was waiting for a statue to go right there.

It's still waiting.

The statue was lying here.

A bronze statue of "The Golden Child."

A mythical figure who would herald a new age for Lemuria.

Builders were ready to erect it, then the Kraken came along.

The people fled. Lemuria fell.

So, where's the statue?

Exactly. No debris. No trace.

Nereus, exactly how does this help find my Grandparents?

Someone took it. Maybe they did.

Of course, maybe they didn't. But it's possible.

I've definitely found something here.

-Where? -Up here.

[mumbling]

...but now listen, here's what we're going to do...

Communicator is back up, transmitting.

Grandpa: Today is the day before...

Grandma: Happy 14th birthday for tomorrow, Fontaine.

Thanks Grandma.

So, they recorded this four months ago.

Grandma: We might have missed your birthday,

but we're going to pick up an amazing souvenir for you all.

Hmmm. I wonder....

Grandma: It's too big to carry aboard.

Grandpa: But listen, if anything happens,

we're leaving the same way we came in.

Grandma: Through the back door.

After everything we went through,

there's another way in?

Yeah. Wanna bet this is the back door?

So, all going well, we'll probably see you

before you ever see this.

Although, we gotta get past whatever lives in that hole.

And that's all there is.

Is this paint?

The same color as your grandparents sub.

What are we waiting for? All we have to do is follow.

Let's do this.

Whoa!

Nereus, is this like a lava-cone or something?

I don't think so.

And you're the expert Geologist since... when?

It doesn't smell right.

Neither do you.

Oh, so funny, Fontaine.

When in doubt, go with the "smell joke".

Lucky one of us is mature.

Ah, look, life always gives us choices.

I'm trying to think like Jacques and Kathryn.

We'll go with the newest looking tunnel.

Look! More paint!

We're on the right track.

Cool tunnel.

You think it's hand-made?

Hmmm... Are they tool marks?

Claw marks?

Maybe teeth marks? Hard to say.

Maybe all of the above?

[loud banging sounds]

Mmm. The soil is really unstable here.

Okay, unstable tunnel. My least favorite kind.

That didn't come from inside, did it?

Definitely outside.

[loud banging sounds]

Uhhh! That's not good!

Your Grandfather mentioned, "whatever lives in that hole."

Alright!

[all scream] Ahhhhh!!!!!

[loud banging sounds]

Is everyone okay?

-I'm okay. -Me too.

Maybe the props are still free.

Nope. Buried all over.

I'll try the thrusters.

[sighs] No good.

Hey, Mom, what about the cargo hold door?

It retracts.

Let's give it a shot.

It's not moving.

That's it. I'm out of ideas.

Port cam

Ugh! Dirt everywhere.

This might be what happened to Grandma and Grandpa.

We don't know that.

Well, right now all we know for sure is we're going nowhere.

Grandma: We're going nowhere.

Wait for me.

What's the hurry?

There's so much to see.

There is and if you hurry, you'll miss it.

That makes no sense.

Please, let's wait a moment.

Um... Sure.

Can we go now?

We're going nowhere, shh.

Ah!

Don't move, Fontaine, for me.

[gasps]

See, in the ocean, to get what you want,

sometimes you just need to stop moving.

Thanks, Grandma.

Let's get a photo.

Then, I'll race you back.

Hey Fontaine! I saw a turtle!

Did you see anything?

Not much to see.

Not much to see out there, but the exterior hull sensors

are detecting organic traces in the soil.

[loud rumbling sounds]

Dunno what that was

but the pressure on the hull is increasing.

I pride myself on being rather good under pressure.

Hm?

That... was an attempt at humor.

[clears throat]

[loud rumbling sounds]

Something pushed us!

Dirt shouldn't move like this.

Those organic traces are animal.

DNA analysis suggests... Eunice Aphroditis!

And in English?

Bristle Worms or Sand Strikers!

Pressure on the hull is still increasing.

[loud rumbling sounds]

Nereus, when Lemuria was above ground,

were there Sand Strikers in the water?

6,000 years ago?

I don't think so.

You don't think you're 6,000 old?

Oh, I am.

I just don't think there were Sand Strikers.

But... I wasn't much of a fisherman.

Okay, they're hunters. They dig into the sand.

Or rock obviously.

And they wait, totally buried, for their prey.

When they detect vibrations, they strike.

Oh! They sound like fun.

No, they don't.

But I have an idea.

Excellent. Mom saves the day!

I want to vibrate the Aronnax to mimic prey.

That way the Sand Striker may come for us.

Yes. See, excellent. Cool plan.

Wait, The Sand Striker?

I think there's only one of them, a big one.

And you want it to come and... eat us?

Mum, as something of an expert in bad ideas,

can I suggest we find a Plan B?

Plan A first, Ant.

The Sand Striker will dig. It'll loosen the soil here.

Hopefully, we can use that to free ourselves.

I vote yes.

That's unusually clear and decisive of you.

See? Good under pressure.

Okay. Let's do it.

Right, I'm starting the engines

and putting the props just out of sync.

Okay, that's working.

Pressure on the hull is increasing again, Kaiko!

We can't handle much more of this.

Look!

Argh!!!!

[loud rumbling sounds]

A hole! Quick!

I see it.

It feels like we're floating. Let's take a chance.

[dramatic music] ♪

-Yes! -We did it!

-Woo-hoo-hoo! -Alright!

Stern camera.

Kaiko, I think I see a flaw in us pretending to be food!

[dramatic music] ♪

♪

We can't seem to shake it!

I admit, I've never thought of worms as dangerous.

Bristle Worms are different.

Maybe they need a different name like Bristle Raptors,

or Bristlosaurus Rex!

Sand Strikers seems pretty accurate to me.

If only we had something to throw at it.

We do.

Our backup pressurized-oxygen.

I'll vent a burst of it in the Sand Striker's path.

It might just disorient it.

Releasing...

Now!

It swallowed it, all!

It wasn't even a mouthful!

Therefore, I wouldn't even be an appetizer.

What animal would eat 6,000-year-old food?

I'm aged. I'm a rare delicacy!

Light!

Yes, go for it, Mom.

Yes! We've escaped!

You think?

I stand corrected.

Yikes! He's still hungry!

[loud belch]

Woah. It burped and I felt it.

He's gotta get tired before we do, right?

I don't know if worms get tired.

But you're the expert.

No one is an expert on that.

He's going to get tired. He's going to get tired.

Hit the lights.

I don't think it sees us.

Are you sure about that?

I can't take that chance.

Full Reverse!

Time to get creative.

Ahhhhh!!!!

You could have given us a little warning!

Ugh!

Here is your warning.

Thanks! Ugh!!!

Grandma: Don't move, Fontaine.

In the ocean, to get what you want,

sometimes you just need to stop moving.

Attracted by vibrations, unlike fish.

I know!

-Fontaine? -Don't move!

What's happening?

Shhh!!!

I hope you know what you are doing, Fontaine.

Me too.

[growling sounds]

[whispering] Is it gone?

Shhh!

Ow!

[whispering] Be still, trust me.

[growling]

What?

To get what you want, sometimes. you just need to stop moving.

Oh, yeah, sure.

You think Fontaine's cracking under the pressure?

I think Fontaine has just saved the day.

Is it gone, Kaiko?

Let's see.

Great work, Fontaine.

Great work, Grandma.

I'm going to slip away from here, very gently.

Do you think maybe Grandma and Grandpa ran into that thing?

Impossible to say, but I hope not.

Their sub is way smaller than ours.

Something metallic ahead.

Three hundred meters, on the seafloor.

[beeping]

How big is it?

Too small to be a submarine.

That's good.

That doesn't rule out being part of a submarine.

There!

No way!

Nereus, could this be "The Golden Child"?

It certainly is!

The one you last saw 6,000 ago?

Nereus: And still as fresh as they day I saw it.

That's the souvenir.

Grandma and Grandpa made it out of Lemuria.

It sure looks that way.

But they lost one of their subs' arms.

Too big to carry aboard they said.

Will, we've had no other metallic readings

since we left Lemuria.

Only this one.

They got away.

They got away!

And we may as well collect our own souvenir.

It's a good day.

Kathryn and Jacques got out of Lemuria, safely,

four months ago.

But then... nothing.

Why haven't they made contact?

Can't they surface?

But even if they can't....

It is baffling. Where would they go?

This way! Towards the nearest land!

It would make more sense to go this way, heading home.

[sighs]

Your grandparents could be anywhere.

This could be a very long search.

So, we're explorers.

We'll scour the whole ocean if we have to, Dad.

The whole ocean, huh?

Ant: Yeah. People think the sea is so big,

but it's only like 70 percent of the planet.

Fontaine: That's totally doable, Dad.

Let's go find them.

Will: Okay, let's do it.

[Ant & Fontaine cheering] -Woo-hoo! -Alright!
