Okay. You can raise it now.

Gently.

Slowly. Be careful.

Are you sayin' I'm not careful?

Will: If he's not saying it, I will.

What?!

Hammerhead: Nektons!

Stealing precious artifacts in protected waters. Really?

They're only protected by you Nektons!

And ya won't take this from us without a fight.

Prepare for battle!

Ahh!!!

Way to thwart evil, Fontaine.

Ahhhhhh! Run away!!!

What?! Danny Buoy! Go back!

I just said we were battling.

Cap'n, if we battle anything, we'll fall apart.

The sub is only held together with duct tape.

[clank sound]

♪

That's right, run away cowards!

[chuckles]

I'm just saying, they ran away too quickly.

Cowards do that, Fontaine.

Okay everyone, one, two, three!

[struggling grunts]

So heavy!

What's this made of?

Probably bronze, and look that symbol.

It looks Lemurian!

That's cool.

but we're still gonna chase the pirates, right?

Of course.

Dopey Nektons!

Wha! Ugh!!!

This submarine has officially been boarded!

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!

♪

Kaiko: No trace of their sub on sonar.

Nothing on the hydrophone either.

They could be cloaked, but I think they've just run away.

Will?

-Will? -Huh? Oh, sorry.

I knew it!

I've seen that symbol before.

See? The same symbol.

I've seen it before too. On The Queen's scepter.

[beeping]

Yes, here it is.

Maybe the symbol means, property of Queen Doreus of Lemuria.

Or something smarter?

Like “made in Lemuria”.

You can stop now.

Or, bring back Lemuriaaaahhh!!

What?

Ant!

-[rumbling sounds] -Whoa!

What?!

Was that... deliberate?

Not from me.

Put it down... gently.

Sorry everyone.

[electricity zapping]

The lights on this sub are as bad as ours.

And that's saying something.

Right, we treat the scepter with respect. Okay?

Respect. All day. Every day.

Now, I want to clean that marine growth off the statue.

I'll help!

Maybe not.

You three should scour the seabed outside.

There might have been a Lemurian outpost here.

Lemurian artifacts are rarer than...

Humor from Fontaine?

Hey!

See? No witty repartee. Just “hey”.

Danny Buoy: Why are we sitting here?

We're waiting for Madeline.

Huh? What?

[sighs] She's not here. She's inside the horse!

She's not... in the bathroom?

No, Danny Buoy!

It's all part of me brilliant plan.

It's why I carved this symbol onto that cheap statue.

That's brilliant, Cap'n!

I thought you were just taking up a new hobby.

Who needs a hobby? Concentrate!

Now, Madeline's going to steal back

all the treasure they've ever stolen from us! Got it?

You think they still have all that treasure?

Aaarrr! Of course!

Don't they give it to museums?

Hah! No one believes that!

And now, 'cause my plan is brilliant,

it's gonna be OUR treasure again!

Madeline: Dad?!

Those stupid Nektons fell for it!

Ah-ha! Of course they did!

Pull under those do-gooders like there's no tomorrow!

Copy!

Ehhh...

If Madeline's not in the bathroom, can I use it?

[both sigh]

Finn! Prepare the red claw.

All right.

[groans]

Ant: Nothing else here. Lemurian or otherwise.

[gasps] Look!

Sawfish?

[gulps]

Woah! Can't they cut boats in half?

Mmmm, can they?

Ant, we did a class on them a month ago.

Did we?

I ran the class!

Oh, right.

Why would a fish want a hedge trimmer on its face?

Maybe if you paid attention in class, you'd know.

Okay, let's slowly spread out.

If you see anything Lemurian, shout.

♪

[gasps]

Hmph!

And what are you going to do about it, huh?!

Look at that.

Who knew a fish could also be a chicken?

A Chicken-fish!

[laughing]

Oh, you're hilarious, Madeline.

[laughing]

[humming] ♪

-Found anything? -Nothing yet.

[continues to hum] ♪

[sniffs]

I can smell the treasure here.

Madeline: Here we go!

Oh, yeah. Pirated the heck out of this situation.

Argh!

[laughter]

I don't think there's anything to find here, Will.

Will: That's disappointing. You may as well come back.

Kaiko: Look! They seem to be foraging.

Them again?! Foraging for what?

Food. They're scanning for food under the sand.

Okay. Cool, cool cool, co-co-co-cool.

Which you'd know if you weren't reading comics in class.

[nervous laugh] You saw that?

Yes. And while I freely admit comics

are the greatest storytelling medium on the planet...

You have such good taste, Mom.

Don't read them in class.

Point taken.

Now Ant, just relax.

Relax? What if I'm the food they're foraging for?

Hmm. Here's hoping.

[clanking sounds]

Dad? I'm not gonna fill that bag you gave me.

There's nothing here.

What? Search again!

I see papers, books, maps, old junky relics.

-Gold? -No.

How about coins? There's gotta be coins.

Nope.

-Trinkets? -Nope.

-Pearls? -Nope.

-Diamonds? -Ju- Just one, a little one?

A little sparkly diamond, gleaming, look at him.

Dad focus! No diamonds!

Arrghh!

What about all the treasure they've stolen from us?!

It's not here.

Aaarrgh!!

What's wrong with those bilge rats?!

Don't they have any taste?

Well, you've seen how they dress.

Hmm. Good point.

Madeline, you just bring back anything,

anything that looks valuable and sparkly!

Hear me?!

[groans]

It all looks like junk to me.

Nothing out there but sawfish.

Creepy sawfish.

So, this is a one-off. Even more rare!

It'll just need another few minutes

to dissolve all that encrustation.

I'm gonna grab my camera to capture the moment

you wash that off!

Jeffrey?

What's wrong?

You want me to follow you? Sure!

Ant: Jeffrey! Where are you buddy?

Are you hiding now, Jeffrey?

Hm. Dad never leaves this open.

He's getting as messy as me.

Huh, I'm so proud of him.

Is that what you're worried about?

On second thought, maybe I better leave it alone.

From now on we treat Queen Doreus' scepter with respect.

Ant: Respect, respect. So much respect.

And so much mess!

I commend you on your diligence, Jeffrey.

You're a great guard fish.

Maybe I could teach you to bark!

Maybe not.

Now, where's my camera?

[evil cackle]

A Queen's scepter, huh?

[chuckles] Things are looking up!

Ahem, all hail, Queen Madeline!

[evil cackle]

I can't tell if you're hailing me or not.

What in the...?

Funny, that looks like tin.

The bronze was paint. It washed off too.

The symbol...

Well, that's clearly a forgery.

And this statue really looks like a cheap copy

of an ancient Greek one.

But who would make this, and why?

Good question.

[knocks]

Hollow?

It wasn't hollow before.

Hey! You started without me!

Huh, that door looks big enough for a whole-

...Person?

Uh-oh.

Dad, I don't suppose you left the safe open

and made a frenzied mess?

No, Ant.

Oh man. I completely misunderstood my guard fish.

I'm sorry, Jeffrey!

[alarm wailing]

The moon pool alarm! Someone's opened the door!

Queen Doreus' scepter, it's gone!

Madeline!

Mission accomplished, shipmates!

Is that all you got?

Don't speak to your Queen like that!

This is solid gold, Finn! The best kind!

Let's get out of here.

[engine struggles]

Or maybe not.

You know just once, I'd like to make a daring escape.

Yes!

Do you have to take MY Knight?

It's not yours! It's ours!

Concentrate. The thief can't have gone far.

Not far at all.

Oh, Fontaine. Hi.

Don't “Hi” me thief!

It's over Finn. This was never going to work.

Of course not.

This is one of my dad's hair-brained heist schemes.

Dad said it was HIS plan? It's MY plan!

And it's not hair-brained! It's... my-brained!

Look out!

Whhoaaahhh!!!

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!

Ugh!

Ant: Dad? Fontaine?

Don't worry about us, we're fine.

Get the scepter!

Ahhhhh!!

Oops.

Come on, come on.

I'm coming, Madeline.

Slowly but surely.

Was this part of your plan, Madeline, huh?

Aaahh! My Queen-stick!

Oh no!

Ah! Those are the things that slice through boats!

Oh, great.

Nothing to see here, sawfish. I am not tinned food.

But where's the scepter?

Ulgh!

No fair!

The scepter is somewhere in this iron-rich mud!

Sonar signals won't penetrate it!

Finally! We're clear.

Let's go help, Ant!

Finn: Heads up, Madeline. Coming to get ya!

[crash]

Just can't keep your hands off me, can you Fontaine?

Can't stop deluding yourself, can you, pirate boy?

Whoah-Whoa-Whoa!!!

Ahhh-ahh!

Are you ready to give up now, Finn?

You might want to look up.

Let's get that treasure!

First things first.

I'd better flush the waste.

Watch that scurvy pipsqueak! He's full of tricks!

Hey! That's my trick!

I've always wanted to borrow it!

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

Hey!

Stop that!

[dizzy yells] Ahhh!

It's okay, Dad! Queen Madeline to the rescue!

[dizzy yells] Ahhhhh!!!!!

Have to say, cool whirlpool!

Ant: Thank you, Fontaine!

Hammerhead: Stop him, Danny Buoy!!

Danny Buoy: Aye aye Cap'n! Any suggestions?

Good luck, Finn.

This is just not funny anymore.

Whoaaaaaaa!

Did that little pipsqueak think this will stop us?!

Um... can you feel something?

Aaaaarghhhhh!!!!!!

Close it! Close the door!

It's not working, Cap'n! I'll get some duct tape.

Argghh!

Get us out of here!!

Ah! Job done!

Except the most important thing ever... is lost!

Oh.

Ant: I know I should know this

but sawfish can't really slice through metal, can they?

Their saws wont hurt you. They're radio antennas.

They don't look like that.

They detect tiny electrical signals under the seabed,

from food.

Ant, sawfish are quite placid.

Placid? You could have told me.

I did. In class.

Come on Ant, the scepter clearly emits some kind of energy.

Will: Maybe the sawfish can find it under the sand.

Yes, but, it doesn't look like they know where it is.

Maybe it doesn't give off any electrical signals,

just laying there.

Unless...

Unless you connect with it?

Yeah, but if I activate it...

Last time it turned off everything!

Not keen.

Not while I'm wearing a machine that feeds me oxygen.

You can do it, Ant. Try to sense where it is.

Remember, respect.

I know, respect, respect. Okay, respect, respect.

[inhales]

Here goes.

C'mon scepter. C'mon, wake up.

[gasps]

I can feel something!

Will: So can they.

You're doing it, Ant!

Amazing!

Wow!

Okay guys.

I don't think you're going to be able to eat this.

[gasps] Whoa!

-All right Ant, you did it! -Woo-hoo!

All right!

Thanks sawfish! I couldn't have done it without you.

Hammerhead: I blame your plan.

Really? I heard you told everyone it was YOUR plan!

No, I didn't!

You did, Cap'n!

You said it was brilliant and-

[muffled sounds]

How about we agree to disagree?

Either way, we've got nothing to show for it.

Unless you learned something useful?

Well, I did find out the Nektons were super interested

in this symbol you carved.

Really? Why?

I dunno.

But, ages ago, I downloaded that from their ship.

And I heard them mention “Lemuria”.

Lemuria? What's a Lemuria?

-I dunno. -I dunno.

I dunno.

I need more idea people.

Lemuria sounds valuable! And sparkly!

I'm going to find out what it is!

Will: How did they know we'd be interested in this symbol?

Kaiko: Maybe they didn't. It might be a coincidence.

Definitely a coincidence!

Those pirates know nothing about Lemuria.

How can you be so sure?

I'm the expert on pirates.

You're the expert on unsubstantiated theories.

Thanks.

Ant: Wait, what does that mean?

Fontaine? Fontaine?
