Will: We're 58 nautical miles south of Qatanui Island.

This is exactly where the Tsunami Beacon

recorded seismic activity.

Three rocks?

Shouldn't there be a whole island here?

There should be.

According to GPS, we're inside the island.

We're not. I would have noticed.

Unless...

I'm listening.

The island's invisible!

I'm no longer listening.

But I'm always happy to hear your theories.

Hit me, Ant.

Okay. Think about it!

An island that can disappear at will.

Hiding its mysteries from human eye-

I found it.

Oh.

The island was right here, but thanks to global warming,

those rocks are all that's left.

Ant: Most of the island has washed away.

Wait! Carvings!

Are those Akkadian carvings, Nereus!?

Akkadian!? Why yes!

No seismic activity now.

Ant, anything out there we can report

to the Tsunami-watch people?

Ant: Nope, all pretty sleepy here. My hunch is...

You mean your guess.

My hunch is, the beacon's faulty.

A hunch isn't a guess,

it's a feeling based on instinct and experience.

Ah, the same instinct and experience

that led you to guess this island was invisible?

My hunch is, there never was,

and never will be any seismic activity here, ever!

[rumble]

How's that "hunch" working out for ya?

I've got a revised hunch.

The tremor's coming from the boulder right next to you.

Get outta there!

The whole Island is sinking!

Ah!

Ahhhh!!!

Look out!

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!

Fontaine: Mom, Dad? We're stuck.

And now we're gonna be crushed.

Kaiko, have the Claw ready.

On it.

Don't worry, Jeffrey.

Ant and Fontaine will work together to find a way out.

This is your fault, Ant!

Me?!

You were the one driving.

But you're the one who claims to have hunches.

A proper "hunch" would've seen this coming and avoided...

Shush!

Don't shush me, while I'm blaming you.

No. Listen!

[beats]

Aronnax? We're hearing a sound,

and it's coming from inside the boulder.

[beat]

That's... a heartbeat!

Kaiko: Something's alive inside that boulder!

So the big boulders... are big eggs?

Those are gonna be some big chickens.

Three eggs that big.

They're Monumential babies!

And one of them is about to hatch!

[rumble]

A Monumential baby!

We're gonna get squished like a tiny, defenseless bug!

If you're trying to reassure me, it's not working!

At least things can't get any worse.

Why would you say--

Kaiko: Update. I'm now reading two more heartbeats.

We have very clear rules about saying

"things can't get any worse".

You're right. This one's on me.

So, now there are three Monumentials to squish us?!

Stop saying "squish!"

We need to try something else.

Both: Dig!

Both: Ahhhh!!

-Huh? -What?

Don't worry, we've got you!

[cheering] Woo-hoo-hoo!

Kaiko, I need more lift from the Claw.

I'm giving it everything.

It's too heavy to lift.

New plan! Keep pushing!

[rumbles]

Fontaine: Yes!

I had a hunch that'd work.

Puh-leeese!

[smashing]

Signs of life from all three eggs are getting stronger.

These eggs would have been laid on land...

when there was land.

So, whatever is inside, breathes air.

But all the air is leaking out of the eggs.

What if they run out of air before they hatch?!

[beats]

Heartbeats are irregular, distressed.

Whatever is in there needs to hatch quickly,

so they can get to the surface.

Let's crack those eggs open.

Copy that.

[grunting]

[squealing]

Turtle!

[squealing]

[squealing]

That's amazing!

Simply incredible!

Both: Wow!

Brace for turbulence!

Ah-ahh-ahh-ahh!!!!!

Ahh-ahh-ahhh!!!!!

Rover. Rover, come in. Do you read me?

Aronnax, this is Rover. We're okay.

Just a bit dazed.

Those turtles are fast.

Look how far they've travelled already.

And what's that they're heading for?

Oh, no. It's the Shuka Maru, 4,000 tons of trawler!

Shuka Maru, this is the Aronnax!

You are on a collision course. Change your heading immediately!

Shuka Maru! Change course immediately!

They're gone.

Agh!

Oh!

So sorry...

No need to apologize.

I know how scary a ship sinking can be.

I've sunk an unhealthy amount of times.

You'll be okay.

Didn't see a thing.

Just a sudden surge, then bang!

She went down in seconds.

Well, we've accounted for all your crew, Captain.

That's the main thing.

I lost my ship and my catch, and all my profit,

that's the main thing!

You may want to reassess your priorities there, Captain.

Nereus, get all the crew-members below.

We need to get after those turtles.

Welcome to the study.

Not exactly the Lemurian throne room,

but you'll be comfortable enough.

Huh, Lemuria?

Nobody believes in lost undersea civilizations.

Well, I wouldn't rule anything in or out.

Like what were those strange shapes

under the water just before we got hit?

Now you're talking sea monsters, Deng?

That'll look good on my insurance claim.

Oh, there are creatures deep in the ocean,

vast things few have ever seen.

Where did they find you?

What're you doing with that?

Queen Doreus's scepter works on Monumentials.

The scepter puts Monumentials to sleep.

The turtles would drown.

I know that!

So, put it back.

The thing is, I've got a hunch.

Another hunch? Great. Problem solved.

Coming up on the big babies, now.

Any way we could guide them away from the shipping lanes?

With four Aronnax's maybe.

But if we had something to attract them...

-Exactly. It's hunch time. -Ugh!

[squealing]

It's working! They're coming to us.

Are you sure the scepter won't put them to sleep, Ant?

One hundred percent.

It's hard to explain, but this just feels... different.

Does it feel draining again?

Let me know if you're going to pass out.

I'll get a pillow.... and a camera.

I feel fine.

It's just like turning on a flashlight.

Like a beacon saying 'come here'.

Well, those turtles are coming here very fast!

Hang on!

Is there some mechanical problem here?

That's not normal.

Be at ease, my friend.

You couldn't be in a safer place.

Brace for turbulence.

Ahh-ahhh-ahhh!!!!

Okay. Maybe you could be in a few safer places.

♪

Kaiko: Going to full throttle!

Okay. We're starting to pull ahead.

Those babies don't know their own strength.

Their Mother has to be

that island-sized, Monumential Turtle, right?

Of course.

And if they were with their mom,

she could teach them to stay away from shipping lanes,

like she does.

Well, we know how to call her, don't we?

Yes, we do.

Setting course for Qatanui Island.

Ugh!

Are you confident this submarine is seaworthy?

Of course.

I mean, where to start?

While in a head-on confrontation with a kraken,

even with serrated fangs,

and suckers the size of buildings,

it couldn't dent this vessel.

You're talking about a real sea-monster?

Yes. Of course, in the thousands of years I've been around,

I've... I've encountered far worse.

I'd like to get away from you now.

I need two volunteers.

Me. Pick me!

What's in it for me?

For you?

Well, unless we act now, every vessel, every sailor

and every captain will be in constant danger.

Kaiko: Pingers away.

We have eyes on the cave. Diver drop in 30.

Copy that, Kaiko.

Kaiko: I can only slow to half speed.

The turtles are too close behind.

It'll be a hot drop, I'm afraid.

We'll be fine, Kaiko.

Wait. You're coming with us?!

Don't want to miss all the fun!

Um. I'd like to UN-volunteer.

Sorry, Crewman Deng.

We need five people to get this job done.

♪

I wish I was back in Singapore. home in bed right now.

Yikes! Turtles approaching already!

They're learning to swim better every minute.

Brace for turbulence.

Again!?

Ahhhh!!!

Ahhhhh!!!!!

Ahhh!!!

Ugh!

[squealing]

Stop here! Feel the current?

Don't get sucked into those holes.

Got it!

Stay away from the holes.

There are five. Everyone gets a hole.

Sorry, rewind-

You're saying you want us to go towards the holes?!

But you just said that...

They've got you.

They'll make sure you don't get sucked in.

[grunts]

Ant? You hurt?

Not permanently.

Emergency powers kicked in.

Auto stabilizers leveled us out.

Ah, but the sonar is dead.

Mom! The turtles are gone!

Right! Get the scepter lit again.

We need those baby turtles back before they sink something else.

Listen up.

We're going to use our fenders to block all these holes

at exactly the same time.

When we block these natural pipes,

seawater is re-directed to a statue

that protects the Islanders.

Ha! Sounds like one of your friend's tall stories.

Listen, the statue safeguards the island's fish stocks

from a mega tide of jellyfish.

Oh, I don't like jellyfish.

How does a statue protect against them?

By summoning... I...

Look, I don't want to frighten you.

We're way past that.

On my mark.

One.

Two.

Three!

♪

Woah! Found 'em!

Kaiko: Hang on!

What are we doing?

We are giving the others more time.

We'll go the long way round the island!

Without Sonar?!

With Sonar!

Should've tried that technical adjustment before.

Will? Got an update?

Will: The holes are plugged.

Waiting for the statue to do its thing.

Will we're only five miles out and the turtles are behind us.

If you're not ready for pickup, we'll be in trouble.

They did it!

[grunts]

Thank you.

That noise just calls the giant turtle

to come and eat all the jellyfish.

I don't like jellyfish!

There aren't any here.

Don't worry. The giant turtle is just going to find her babies.

Ahhh, question, how big is "Giant?"

Honestly, "Giant" isn't a big-enough word.

[gulp]

Big risk! No reward! I'm outta here!

[grunts]

We stay until I get word!

Still no sign of the mother, Will.

Scratch that. There's a sign.

A big, fast sign.

Momma turtle's coming!

Alright, we're outta here. Pull!

Will: Kaiko, standing by for pickup.

All stop!

Ant, kill the scepter.

Brace for turbulence!

No turbulence.

She came in super slow. It looked kinda deliberate.

Kaiko: Will, moon-pool is open.

Twenty seconds.

Make it ten.

We don't want to be in the middle of a giant turtle family reunion!

Will: We're inside. Moon-pool closing.

Everyone hang on. We're gonna take off.

FAST!

Ant: Wait!

[squealing]

That's the baby turtles' bow wave.

They're almost here.

[out of breath]

I think she wants us to move closer.

You "think?"

This is no time for one of your ridiculous hunches, Ant!

Go closer.

I hope you know what you're doing, Ant.

Really?

She wants us to go closer 'cause we're the perfect snack.

Titanium. Humans. All the food groups.

She's not going to eat us, Fontaine.

Trust me. I know what I-

Huh?

Ant: Oh, no!

How's that hunch working out, Ant?

Because it looks a like we've been eaten, to me!

Okay, I promise I'll never have another hunch again.

This is actually the second time in 6,000 years

I have been eaten by a Monumential.

What do you mean, "eaten"?

I think he mean the big turtle ate us.

Hah! As if!!

All we can do now is wait.

Great plan.

Always wanted to know how long it takes a turtle's

gastric juices to dissolve a submarine.

I wonder if she'll chew us first?

The pingers are showing us the mess outside.

[squealing]

If we were outside now...

The mother turtle is protecting us!

Yes! That's why we're in her mouth.

That is so ridiculous! Why would it care?

Maybe even giant animals know

when something is the right thing to do.

You mean... it really did? We were-

Ohh-ohhh...

[thud]

Ouch.

He only fainted. He'll recover.

His pride may not.

Ant?

I just realized.

In the wild, mother turtles don't really have much to do

with their children after they've hatched.

They don't get the chance.

Exactly!

We brought her children to her. She's grateful.

You're welcome.

More turbulence!

No waves, she knows.

Ant: Those babies are swimming like experts.

[squealing]

Would you look at that.

Incredible.

Setting a course for the nearest port.

Let's get the trawler crew home.

I might come with you, Crewman Deng.

Wha? No, no, no. Not necessary. Really.

It's time to find some answers.

I mean, I'm 6,000 years old. Why is that a thing?

Now he's finally asking?

It's time I left the Aronnax for some self-discovery.

Okay, Ant, I'm only going to say this once.

You were right.

Thank you, Fontaine.

Ant: Of course, I had a hunch you were going to say that.

Fontaine: Urgh!

-Instant regret. -And that too.

-Please stop. -And that too!

Fontaine: Great.
