Fontaine: It's just a piece of ice.

Ant: No. Something's moving on it.

Maybe it's a colony of albino seals.

Not a gang of marshmallow aliens,

come to take over the world?

Hah! That's silly.

But when they do come, I'll be ready.

Ugh!

Wow! A Polar Bear this far out?

Ant: With company.

Fontaine: That's a Greenland shark!

Ant: Woah! So cool.

And a little bit scary.

Once the ice is gone, the bear won't stand a chance.

I'm doing it!

Doing what?

[roar]

And they call me impulsive? Hah!

[roar]

Okay, what do we do now?

Uh...

[roar]

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!

♪

♪

Don't worry. We've got this.

Fontaine: Okay, but hurry. The shark is back.

Hurry!

Let's go check on the bear.

Yeah, I'll put the Rover away later.

I know, I know.

Hard to find a meal when your whole habitat

and climate are changing.

Woah!

Sea temps here are higher than anywhere else off Greenland.

The Davis Strait has never been this warm.

Even Global Warming can't explain these temperatures.

How's the bear?

Is it okay? What's happening?

That was quick.

Was the Rover stowed properly?

It was Ant's turn!

Can I do it later?

If we break a very important piece of equipment

because neither of you secured it...

Both: Pleeeaaaase! We wanna see the bear!

Okay, later. Just make sure you do it.

We will.

Can you zoom in on him?

How do you know the bear's a him?

It's obvious.

Most male mammals are larger than the females.

Not you.

The point is, you can't get much bigger than Barry.

Barry? No way. I'm going with Arnaaluk.

It's Inuit, means Big Woman.

Suits our female Polar Bear, don't you think?

But our Barry's a b-

It's not ours. It's not a pet.

It's wild, powerful and dangerous.

[roar]

And very cute.

I'm not denying that.

It's a wild animal. Don't get attached to it.

-Him! -Her!

It.

We need to find somewhere to release it soon, and...

[growls]

[gasps]

Mom? What's he doing?

Uh... I'm a Marine Biologist, good with fish.

Bears, less so.

[roars]

I'm pretty sure that's not normal.

I'm pretty sure you're right.

Kaiko? I know that look.

What look?

I don't have looks.

You do. And this one says:

The biggest land carnivore in the world needs help.

And I'm going in there.

That's a pretty specific look.

Kaiko, you're not going in there.

You'd need a suit of armor.

Okay mom, good luck.

If you need any help, don't call me.

We should've tranquilized Arnaaluk.

I don't think we have enough tranquilizer for Barry.

I mean, look at the size of him, and those teeth.

Kaiko: Not helping, Ant.

Ant: Sorry Mom.

Looks like it's sleeping.

Or pretending to sleep to lure its prey loser.

Ant!

Sorry... again.

Don't worry, it's all going really well.

No injuries. No parasites.

Temp's within normal range. Nothing's obviously wrong.

Fontaine: That's good.

Huh! BMI's high.

This animal's not just big,

it's carrying a lot of extra weight.

Surprising, since food's so scarce.

But her behavior is... odd.

Maybe he's just totally exhausted.

She.

Okay, maybe some blood might tell us

if there are any toxins in its system.

Kaiko. I was already uncomfortable with this,

but sticking it with a needle?

Kaiko: It'll be okay, Will.

Will: You're literally poking the bear.

[gulp]

Kaiko: Got it!

Both: Whew!

Oh, good job.

What?

Impossible.

Now to attach a wireless heart sensor.

Is that really necessary?

Kaiko: It's still sleeping.

I only have to remove a little bit of fur.

Sure. Shaving a polar bear.

How could that end badly?

[razor buzzing]

[snoring]

Kaiko: I'm outta here!

-Yes! -Yeah!

[gasps] Mom!

Watch out!

[roars]

Ahhh!!!

[groans]

[both gasp]

[groans]

Come on!

Over here, Barry! Barry, hey!

Ant! Don't do it!

[snarling]

The sample!

[snarling]

Oh.

Oh! Hello! Goodbye.

Uh... Barry?

You know if it's the name that's upsetting you,

we can change it.

How do you feel about... Kevin?

[roars]

[gulps] Okay, Kevin is clearly worse.

Mom, your server controls have been knocked out!

You need to reboot!

Hit the emergency power supply.

[roars]

Kaiko: Back off!!!

I said back off!!!

[roars]

[roars]

[grunt]

♪

[sigh of relief]

Still want to keep that bear as a pet?

She became a little less cute

when she tried to eat half my family.

Will: Everyone, come up to the bridge.

You're gonna want to see this.

We kinda have some news too.

It's kinda hard to say who was the bigger hero-

but Mom was very cool.

Look!

That can't be... kelp?

In the Arctic?

Ant: Tropical fish near ice, that can't be a thing.

This is our position.

In the center of the warmest sea temperatures.

Whatever's causing the ice to melt so fast,

is right under us?

Looks like it.

The bear's becoming more erratic.

I can relate.

Me and confinement are incompatible.

You're incompatible with everything.

Only the boring things, Fontaine.

Well, the sooner we find out

what's causing these sea temperatures,

the sooner we can get that bear back into its natural habitat.

[growls]

Poor Barry.

Arnaaluk.

[sniffs]

Have you had a shower recently?

[sniffs]

Ugh!

It's a scientific fact that nearly being eaten

by a Polar Bear can cause a...

[nervous chuckle] ...a perspiration malfunction.

I'm going out in the Rover. Who's with me?

Both: Me!

The Rover's a confined space. Maybe you should stay.

Aw, no fair!

Ant, I'll be running some tests.

Heading out too, huh? Sheesh, must be really bad.

Will: Let's try the densest part of the kelp, first.

The source of the heat might be there.

You know, you wouldn't be out there so fast

if the Rover had been inconveniently stowed away.

Yes, Ant. Excellent planning.

This warmer area only seems to be a few nautical miles wide.

But there's no obvious heat source,

no volcanic activity, no thermal vents.

There is a Jeffrey.

He went out to stretch his fins.

Ant: Normally, Jeffrey would never be able to swim

in the Arctic Circle.

Stand by, I'm sending out Pingers... now.

Will: Why the Pingers, Ant?

Ant: A 3D map of the whole area can't hurt.

Good thinking.

Wow. Was that a compliment, Fontaine?

Fontaine: Ahh, it just slipped out.

Any luck?

The bear's bloodwork shows nothing abnormal.

But something is.

Anything from the heart monitor?

Well, that makes no sense.

The Pingers are mapping a solid mass under the upper sediment...

Will: What's it look like?

It looks like... No way!

It looks like a giant crab!

Something this size would have to be another Monumential!

Oh, that's a Monumential alright. Wow!

And it's, it's a Teddy Bear Crab.

Fontaine: They're usually little and really hairy.

Wow! Really, really hairy.

So, the kelp isn't kelp but, in fact, hair.

And the surprises keep coming.

Barry is definitely female.

What? No!

I knew it!

Are you sure?

Pretty sure, heart rate monitors don't lie.

See.

Mom.

Baby.

What?

Did you say...?

Barry is going to be a mother and soon!

Wow!

That explains why Arnaaluk is so big.

Yep.

Apparently, female Polar Bears store enough fat

to live off for eight months while they nurse their cubs.

Wait.

She's having her cub on the Aronnax?

Submarine baby!

She can't.

The stress of giving birth here could make her lose her cub.

That's not happening.

I'm setting a course north.

We have to find her a new home before baby comes.

Kaiko: You have to "Hot Dock" the Rover.

I won't have time to slow down.

Excellent!

Haven't done that for years!

Oh, and Ant?

Yes. You were right, Fontaine.

Fontaine: Pardon?

Ugh!

You... were... right.

[sighs] What a beautiful sentence.

Are we thinking this Monumential's been here

since Queen Doreus put them all to sleep?

Probably.

And 6,000 years ago, this area was all ice.

Not anymore.

So, maybe today's warming waters caused the crab's metabolism

to speed up.

Fontaine: And its body temperature rose a degree or two.

And that's enough to make a big difference in sea temps here.

Wait. Does this mean the Monumential is waking up?

Will: Maybe, but at this rate it'll take years.

We'll come back, check in on it.

Sorry to interrupt, but baby's heart rate just went irregular.

Will: Hot Docking in 10 seconds.

Gotta time this just right.

Hot Docking, never boring.

Great job, Dad.

I've found a better ice-shelf. Should be there in 20.

How's Arnaaluk doing?

Can't see her on camera, but both heart rates are very high.

Whoa! What was that?

That was me.

[rumbling sounds]

Ahh! That was not me.

[rumbling sounds]

Will! The bear's escaped!

I say again, the bear has escaped!

[roars]

Kaiko: What's happening? Someone speak to me!

[roars]

Ah!

Kaiko: Get away from them! Shoo!

[roars]

Get to the Knights!

[roar]

Settle down. Stay back.

Ah, ah, ah....

Almost tipped myself in. Wait, rolling over.

Yes! Great idea, Ant!

Mom! Kill the lights!

Fontaine! Night Vision!

[growling]

[sniffing]

Fontaine: She can track our scent in the dark.

So, she'll come after me.

You said yourself, I smell, big time.

Your great idea is to lure her

into the moon pool with your aroma?

Yes. Then we do a barrel roll and our bear floats to surface.

What? No way! What if she gets hurt?

Fontaine, we're close enough to land and she is padded.

But...

Fontaine. I know you're scared for her.

But I'm scared for all of you. We need her out of there.

Ant: Tell me when she's in the pool!

[splash]

Will: She's in!

Okay, Mom, go for it!

All brace.

♪

Ant: Ahhhhh!!!!!!

♪

Will: All good here, Kaiko.

What about Arnaaluk, is she alright? Ant?

Ant!? Do you read me?

Ant, come in!

Ant: Well, that was fun!

[sigh of relief]

Can you see Arnaaluk?

No. Can't see her. Can't see her anywhere.

Kaiko: Look again.

Sorry, nothing.

Ant: Mom?

Still no sign of her.

She has to be alright.

Ant: Wait, I see something. No. Maybe...

Come on, Ant!

It's her! She's doing great!

[relieved] Oh, thank you.

[laughter]

You were right, Ant.

Pardon?

You were right.

Ant: What a beautiful sentence.

Ant: She's heading straight for the ice-shelf, 200 meters.

Kaiko: Great. Her instincts are strong.

This ice-shelf looks stable.

There are even ice caves just inland.

Perfect den material.

Wait, something's moving in the water

between the bear and the shoreline.

Ant: I can see them. More Greenland sharks.

Sonar says there are three, no four.

[splash]

Ant: I've got one, but I can't stop them all.

Fontaine: Not today, shark.

Wow. This one thinks the White Knight might be tasty.

Hey! Outta here!

Um... some help guys!

Ant: Shark wrangling here!

Fontaine: I can't leave mine!

Ant: Mom! Mom!

Sorry it took so long. Traffic was terrible.

Sorry fella, but Polar Bear's off the menu, today.

Yes! Go Arnaaluk!

Go Arnaaluk!

You go, girl!

Good luck with your baby!

[growling]

Are we sure this is the cave?

It's the one she headed to, yesterday.

Look!

[chuckles]

[cub squeals]

Fontaine: So beautiful.

Kaiko: So perfect.

[tearfully] Okay... Okay.

Obviously the most important thing now

is giving this baby a name.

Fontaine: No. You're banned from naming polar bears.

No more Barrys.

We should name it

after the person who cared for its mother the most.

I... Ant, that's actually very sweet. Thank you.

The bear shall be named...

Jeffrey!

What?!

Jeffrey didn't do anything!

He didn't need to.

His mere presence inspires us to greatness.

[sighs]

Ant: Look at him. He even looks like a Jeffrey.

[all sigh and chuckle]
