We're getting close.

I can feel it in me bones.

Me too. The Flora Del Mar will make us rich!

Is it treasure then this, flower?

[groans]

The Flora Del Mar

is the biggest sunken treasure ship of all time.

Worth billions.

Billions! Whoo!

That's nearly the- carry the three... Millions!

No, no, Danny buoy, don't try to count.

Sonar reading, Captain.

The Arronax by the shape of it,

is somewhere near the top of the trench.

What?!

And another reading? Something big.

It's below us.

Wait a minute!

The Nektons aren't looking for treasure.

They're hunting monsters!!!

Huh?! How can you tell?

We're leaving!

No! We can't walk away from the Flora Del Mar!

Forget it, lass. Nothin' but an overblown yarn.

Not worth riskin' me crew for.

But it's the biggest treasure in-

I said forget it!

[evil laugh]

Pirates do not leave treasure behind.

[loud roar]

There is a monster!!!

[screams] Aaaaahhhhhhh!

[crash]

[screams] Aaaaahhhhhhh!

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!

♪

♪

Huh?

Got enough maps, there?

That should do it.

We're going to find them today.

If your grandparents' sub travelled west from Lemuria,

they likely passed through the Malacca Strait.

What are we waiting for? Let's start searching!

It's the busiest shipping lane in the whole world.

Then, we'd better start now if we're going to search it all.

How about this trench? Looks deep.

Deep and dark.

We can't search every little nook and cranny

from the Arronax.

Ant, why don't you go take a look in the White Knight?

I was so hoping you'd say that!

Hey Jeffrey,

what's the difference between a nook and a cranny?

Yeah, I have no idea either.

We'll start searching the rest of the strait.

Fontaine, you're on sonar.

Nereus, up front.

I'll monitor the external cameras.

Take it slow, Kaiko. We don't want to miss anything.

Sure is dark down here.

Keep an eye out Jeffrey.

We don't want to miss anything.

I really hope we don't find any sign

of Gramps and Grandma down...

[gasp]

Oh no!

You?

You.

What are you-?

Just waiting for a friend.

In a trench?

Mm-hmm.

Looks like the Claw took a hit.

Eh. Just a passing monster.

Huh?

That's why you're here, isn't it?

-It is now! -Hey, wait!

Oh, sorry. Did you need something?

I've got no power. My fuses are cooked.

And?

And... I don't need help from a Nekton!

Well... unless you want to wait for the friend

you obviously just made up, I'm your only hope.

[grunts]

We need to search every inch of the ocean floor.

And every trench.

Which reminds me,

we should have heard from Ant by now.

Ant, are you there?

[static]

Hmm... He must be in a nook or a cranny.

[knocking]

Open up.

I can't give you new fuses from out here.

[sigh]

Huh?

Manual override it is!

[struggling grunts]

Yes!

Works every time.

Got a "manual override" for that?

At least Jeffrey's happy!

Who cares if the fish is happy.

Maybe we should cut our losses

and we should leave the red claw behind.

My Dad would make me walk the plank

if I abandoned the Red Claw!

Besides, I didn't exactly ask permission to take it,

so I can't leave till I get what I came for.

Which is?

You first.

You're hunting monsters, right?

What? No.

Tell your fish to stop staring.

Jeffrey, don't be rude to our host.

How much longer will this take?

Slightly longer than expected.

Madeline? Where are you?

Where's yer sister?

[mumbles] I dunno.

Well, find her!!!

Of course, Capt'n.

Any chance you've changed your mind about leaving?

No point losing the Red Claw and our lives.

You really don't know my father.

The Flora Del Mar isn't worth it.

The Flora del what?

Oh, it's a Portuguese ship

that sunk in the strait of Malacca in 1511.

BIGGEST undiscovered sunken treasure of all time... I think.

Yeah? Huh. Never heard of it.

Sure.

[rumbling]

This thing has got a mind of its own.

[rumbling]

[both scream] Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Can that thing... carry us both?

No problem.

So... we're going?

Anything to get away from that fish.

[loud creaking]

[screams] Ahhhhh!!!!!

What was that?

Oh, no! Here it comes again!

[both scream] Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

[groggy] Jeffrey.

What happened?

Madeline?

Ahhhh!

It's okay! We're okay.

[out of breath]

Are all Nektons this cheerful?

Nah. You're lucky you got me.

I think it was Bakunawa.

Come again?

Bakunawa!

A creature from Philippine Mythology.

That's what rammed us.

It's okay. Most people haven't heard of it.

According to myth-

Bakunawa is a serpent- like creature

responsible for eclipses and earthquakes.

But if that was a monster from Philippine legend,

I'd wager it was a school of Sikoyoy-

Mer-men with fish-like bodies and tentacles.

Or maybe Seri Kemboja,

a sea-devil from Malayan myth!

You know your local myths.

Have you ever seen it? Seri Kemboja, I mean.

No. Not yet.

But I've seen things you wouldn't believe.

Try me.

I think... I think Madeline took the Red Claw!

You're some kind of genius! She disobeyed me... Again!

That's mutiny!

And mutineers deserve no mercy!

But we're going back for her, right?

There's a monster back there, Cap'n.

Nektons too.

I hate both those things.

But it's Madeline. Turn this sub around!

Aye, aye, Cap'n.

And then, just as the Ray was about to

annihilate the Aronnax.

we force-fed it lightning from its own electrical storm!

Whoa...

I wonder why it didn't eat us?

The Mantaray?

No, our monster.

Well, if there's one thing I've learned

after years of researching sea monsters...

puny humans are not part of their agenda.

Hmmm... you are puny.

Probably a little stringy, too.

Ha! I'd be a prized delicacy for any sea monster.

Well, swim out there and get help!

If you don't make it,

I'll make me escape while the monster's busy

chewing on its prized delicacy.

[cackles]

Sayin' "yum-yum"!

[laughing]

We're not friends.

Of course not!

You're one of the worst people I've ever met.

Really? You're not just saying that?

I really work at it.

It shows. You're terrible.

Thank you.

Uh-oh.

Good thinking.

Ant, are you there?

Ant, come in.

He's probably just out of range.

Still I'd better go check on him.

Ok. While you and Ant search the trench,

we'll move on to the next sector.

Madeline! For the last time,

I order you to return to the Orca!!!

Dad... Cap'n...

Yelling at her on the radio won't bring her back.

Madeline!!!

This is your final last chance, ye hear?!!!

Maybe she can't "hear",

I mean, could we get a little closer?

We're close enough!

What... are you scared?

I'm only scared for the welfare of everyone on this sub.

So why don't you get out there and find your sister?!

Huh. Alright.

Finally!

Ant, are you there?

I see the Knight on the tracker.

So, where are you, Ant?

[startled] Ahh!

Hi-ya!

Finn! What are you-- argh! You are so-

Dashing in scuba gear? I know.

Admit it, you're glad to see me.

I'll be glad to see the back of-

[screams] Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

What was that?

Finn? Finn!

Can't you swim back up to your fancy knight?

We're way too deep down here.

I never should have let you in.

Any pirate worth your salt knows it's bad luck

to have a fish aboard.

We should send him to get help.

Are you up for it, Jeffrey?

That's the spirit!

You put a lot of faith in a fish.

I have more faith in him than most people.

Oh, my mistake. Go Jeffrey!

Better you get eaten, than me!

Don't listen, Jeffrey!

You're barely snack size, but you'll buy us a little time.

Keep going! I believe in you!

Finn, can you hear me? Finn?

Come on, pirate boy.

Oh, sorry to interrupt you.

I knew you were glad to see me.

You! I'm glad I didn't have to watch you

being eaten by a monster.

That would have been... gross.

It's ok. I'm here now. I'll keep you safe.

You know I just saved your life, right, pirate buoy?

The Aronnax!

If you're here to ask about treasure, monsters

or missing children.

Danny Buoy! The radio comms.

Aye, aye!

[sirens wail]

Not that one. Sorry, Cap'n!

Not that one, either!

Switch on the left, Danny Bouy!!!

Ohh! There it is!

Any other orders, Cap'n?

[groans] I'm so tired.

As I was saying, if you are here to ask about

treasure, monsters or missing children... no comment.

Ant, are you there? Ant, come in.

More quality time for you and me.

Ulgh! I need to find my brother.

And I need to find my sister.

We have so much in common.

We have nothing in common.

You're a pirate, looking for treasure.

And we're looking for...

Looking for... what?

My... grandparents.

They're missing?

Ant? Come in, Ant.

What is that?

Jeffrey!

Jeffrey old buddy, how are you?

It's been ages. Have you been working out?

Don't mind him. Where's Ant?

Yes, finally.

Very nice.

But has your fish saved us yet?

He will.

Come on, Jeffrey.

Ant... Ant... come in. Can you hear me?

Fontaine! I read you.

[gasps]

Jeffrey!

See! Have faith in the fish!

Uh... What's he doing here?

I'm helping.

Yet to be demonstrated.

You're okay, Madeline?

I'm stuck in here with a Nekton. That's as bad as it gets.

I take it you met the monster.

It was awesome! It was the size of a bus-

No, two buses!

Did you see how many tentacles it had?

Had to be at least 100! Maybe 200.

That can't be good.

[screams] Bakunawa!!!!

[screams] Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

It's not Bakunawa.

It's a sperm whale fighting a giant squid.

Awesome!

Thanks for the Ant-splanation, but-

Fontaine!

[screams] Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

No!

[screams] Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

One more time, Hammerhead. What monster?

I should be askin' you!

Monster huntin's your business, after all.

Fontaine: Anyone! We're being attacked.

Fontaine?

Finn: Dad, are you there?

Finn, is that you?

Finn: I found Maddie.

Fontaine: We need help.

We're coming.

I'm coming son!

You wanted to see monsters. We've got front row seats.

Awesome.

Yes!

[screaming] Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

Less awesome.

Jeffreeeey!

The Rover can't break us free!

The Red Claw can!

What are you doing?

Using the one working claw we have!

You can't!

I'll lose my... soil samples.

What?

Madeline. Think of all of us, and dad.

How would he feel if he never saw you again?

I bet you he'll feel worse about losing my... soil samples.

I don't believe that for a second.

[screaming] Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

Yarrrr... Fine!

We're loose.

Watch it, Fontaine.

[laughter]

Sorry about your dirt.

Mom, Dad? Do you read?

We're coming up now.

Good to hear, Fontaine. See you soon.

Jeffrey!

You saved us... again.

Fine. I admit it. Your fish isn't so bad.

Especially compared to you.

Sorry you didn't find what you were looking for.

That's okay.

I did.

Sometime, she annoys me so much it hurts,

but I fought off a sea monster to save her.

You didn't do that.

I'll keep an eye out in my travels, ok?

For?

Your grandparents.

It's a big ocean.

Happy to lend another set of eyes.

Family's important.

Thank you, Finn.

See-ya, Pirate Boy.

Looks like you didn't lose all of your 'soil sample'.

Catch!

Oh!!!!

Time to go.

Happy monster hunting!

You too, Madeline!

Oooh! New bestie?

Of course not. She's one of the worst people I've ever met.

Not a chance!

But the Flora Del Mar is there!

Then, why aren't the Nektons interested?

It's nought but an empty rumor. Let it go, lass...

Look! Proof! It's there!

The biggest treasure of all time!

Along with the biggest monster!

There's no monster. Just a whale and squid-

A squid-whale? Well, that settles it.

We are never going near that trench,

as long as I'm captain.

You'll go back for the rest.

When you're captain of your own ship.

So Ant, exactly why did you abandon the White Knight?

Well, strap yourselves in! This story has everything!

Pirates, mystery, monsters, treasure.

And the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

You mean you and-

Just tell your story!

Okay. Here goes.

Once upon a time, there was a brave and handsome

undersea explorer named Antaeus Nekton.

Fontaine: And it's already fiction.
