Ant: Aronnax to Gramps. Gramps, can you hear me?

C'mon, c'mon!

I did not just dream you. I didn't, did I?

We all heard your grandfather, Ant.

Yes! Not dreaming!

Gramps, are you reading me? Over.

Wait, but if it is a dream,

no-one in the dream would admit it.

-[clap] -[yelps]

Thank me. You needed that.

Definitely awake. Thanks.

[beeping]

Sonar! Something's out there!

Oh! That explains why we can't hear them.

They've drifted from this position.

Should have a visual soon.

Huh? No, that's too big. Way too big to be their sub.

Or anything they could have made!

I gotta see this!

Is someone else in this family suggesting it's alien?

It's not alien. It's a Nautilus.

A Nautilus? The little shell creature?

Yes, but this one isn't little. It's a Monumential!

If the radio signal came from here.

And if we can't hear them outside,

your grandparents have to be...

Inside.

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: Rover calling on all channels. Can anyone hear me?

Still nothing.

They must be inside it, Will.

Why can't we come too?

It's awake, Fontaine. Clearly awake.

I'm sorry, it's just too dangerous.

We laugh at danger!

Well, I do.

Fontaine just kind of pulls faces.

See?

If we have to go inside the creature.

We're qualified. Been there, done that, easy!

And we need you out here, as backup.

Backup? We're front-line!

Ant, this is new territory.

I'm not risking more people I love to find them.

Understand?

Oh, man!

Fontaine: How are you going to get in?

Certainly not into that mouth. No chance of surviving that.

But there are other places they could be.

Any one of these craters...

or somewhere in the mantle cavity or under the hood...

That's a lot to search.

Sounds like you could use some... back up.

Nice try, Ant.

Nature's perfect creature.

Oh, yeah! I remember, Gramps!

Nautili, get my vote for nature's perfect creature.

Perfect? How?

Perfect design.

This shell is amazingly tough. Like underwater armor.

I'll probably build myself underwater armor one day.

[chuckles]

Sure you will, Ant.

Don't doubt him, Fontaine.

If he's like your father,

any doubt will just make him more determined.

What would you even use underwater armor for?

Both: For underwater protection.

Now, this armor hasn't changed in 500 million years.

It feels like your Grandpa hasn't changed

in 500 million years either.

Doesn't make him perfect.

[laughter]

[sighs] I miss them.

Kaiko: Fontaine, Ant, we just found a crater.

We're going to investigate.

Fontaine: Copy that!

Sonar isn't picking up anything unusual in here.

And there could be hundreds of these holes.

[both yelp]

[exhales]

We're not tense at all.

Those cirri grab food.

And if we're grabbed, we're done.

I'll steer clear.

All these openings, they could lead anywhere.

Did you do that?

No. There's a current, pulling.

Will: It's dragging us in!

Kaiko: It's the hyponome sucking in water!

We need to get away from it.

Will: Giving it full power!

It's not enough. We, we can't...

Gotcha! Whew!

Will: Great move, Ant!

I'm warming up to this back-up thing!

I'm at full reverse here and we're only just holding you.

Will: At least we're not moving any closer to...

Ahhhhhh!

Will: Hold on!!!

Kaiko: Ahhh!!!

The suction's just gone!

Rover? This is Aronnax, can you hear me?

That's it, the hyponome.

It sucks in water then expels...

Belt up quick!

Ahhh!!!

Both: Ahhhhhhh!!!!

What? Where did it go?!

There's nothing on sonar!

Mum? Dad? Can you hear me?

Mum? Dad? Come in?

Aronnax to Rover, come in.

Mom? Dad? Can you hear us?

How can a creature that big just, vanish?

It didn't vanish. It's not magic.

I don't think we can rule that out.

It just moves really fast.

How? It doesn't even have fins!

When the hyponome blasts out water,

it gives the Nautilus jet propulsion.

Jet propulsion? Cool!

It travels backwards. Look.

Yes! That direction!

I hope.

Okay, lights are functional. Air purifier operative.

All systems seem to be normal, but we're minus an arm.

And inside a monumential... again.

Rover to Aronnax.

Rover to Aronnax, do you read me?

Over.

The shell could be too thick to get a signal out.

Fontaine: I don't know what I'm doing here.

We may have gone too far already.

A few degrees off and we'd never see it.

How far could it go in one burst?

You ask as if I'd know that.

I'm perpetually hopeful.

[beeping]

Sonar! Yes!

Hey, I think I see something.

Sonar reads two degrees to starboard.

It's something...

Our Monumential something?

Totally our Monumential!

Aronnax to Rover, Aronnax to Rover.

Are you reading me?

Will: Rover to Aronnax, we are reading you!

Are you okay?

We're good! Are you okay?

We're fine. Just in a very weird place.

Will, look...

That's an EPIRB!

Looks like your parents' emergency distress beacon!

We're not detecting a signal from it.

The battery is probably dead.

So, if the EPIRB is there, then Gramps and Grandma

were sucked into that hyponome too!

Yes!

We could be close.

That wall... it looks a lot closer than it was.

Are we drifting?

No. It's moving towards us. Fast!

-Can we outrun it? -We can try!

Both: Aargh!

Mom? Dad? You okay?

Rover? C'mon, talk to me!

-Back-up time? -Let's do it!

Stay here, Jeffrey. You're our back-up.

You're right. You're no-one's back up.

You're frontline. C'mon buddy.

We have to avoid the cirri.

Uh... funny way to avoid them,

if we're heading straight at them!

It's okay.

Nautili are opportunistic feeders.

Like me.

Sure, but quieter.

They catch slow moving things.

Go faster.

At top speed we'll be through before the cirri can react.

You're sure? Fontaine, you're sure?

All this is one, big muscle.

Imagine a flexible bladder

that draws in all this water. I'll try to rock us free.

[struggling grunts]

Come on!

Okay, we're moving slightly.

Excuse me?

That was the back-up, arriving just when you need us.

Excellent!

Glad to see you.

Even though we didn't actually call for back up.

Good back-up anticipates your needs!

And you need us, right?

We definitely do.

Push!

Getting there. Again!

[struggling grunts]

Yes!

Woo-hoo!

Great job!

Kaiko: I'll keep some distance from that wall.

The wall that just goes on forever.

Something metallic ahead.

Metallic? That sounds promising!

Submarine!

It's them!

-[gasps] -Ohhh!

Okay, their subs a mess, but that doesn't mean...

Will...

Ant: I hope they're okay!

Mom? Dad? This is Will.

Can anyone read me?

[banging]

[banging]

[gasps]

Did you see that?

I definitely saw something!

-Will? -Dad?

-It sure is! -Gimme that thing!

Will? I'm here too!

Oh, Will!

-Oh, good! -Yes!

Kathryn: Talk, I want to hear your voices.

Mom! Are you both okay?

-We're a lot better now. -Well, define okay.

You sound great!

Jacques: Ant! You're here? Fontaine?

I'm here!

We wouldn't miss this reunion for the world!

Kathryn: It been so long!

You know we've been in here for four months!

Jacques: Ever since we left Lemuria!

I knew we'd find you!

Kathryn: We knew you would too.

Never gave up hope.

Jacques: We're okay for now but every time this creature moves,

we get banged around.

Kathryn: I don't think our old sub can hold out much longer.

Yeah. I'd say we got here just in time.

Ant: But how do we get you out?

Kathryn: Not easy.

The air-lock hatch is broken and rusted shut.

I'll try and loosen it.

Okay, there's no way out there.

I see you have an escape capsule.

Yes. But the ejection mechanism is broken.

We can't use it.

So, we have to breach the hull. Have you got scuba gear?

Kathryn: Sorry Will.

Our air tanks were in the forward section

when it got crushed.

We can't breach the hull.

This sub's not moving on its own.

Then we move it.

If we pull the sub free, then we can all push it out!

Jacques: That's a great idea, Ant!

Will: It is.

Everyone grab something solid.

We have to do this gently.

One, two, three...

[grinding sounds]

[struggling grunts]

Stop!

This thing is too fragile!

There's a hole in Section C.

Jacques: We know. It's okay. TWe sealed it off.fragile!

Kathryn: We're in Section D now, but the bulkhead has a small leak.

You should move through the Cargo Bay to the battery room.

Jacques: We're onto it, Ant.

Right, we're going to try again.

Everybody.

One...two... three.

[struggling grunts]

[struggling grunts]

Kathryn: I felt that, we moved...

Yes!

Gently does it.

Oh, no, I'm feeling a current.

The water pressure is rising.

Jacques: The Monumential is going to move again.

Kathryn: I don't know if our sub can survive that.

We need to get you out of here now.

Everybody get into position to push!

Pressure's still rising. It's drawing water in.

Then let's go!

Gramps, I think you should move to Section G.

It's stronger.

Jacques: You read my mind. Moving already, Ant.

Everyone, we need to keep accelerating constantly.

Yes, we have to be going as fast as we can to get past the cirri.

We're moving at ten knots now, keep accelerating.

Jacques: Hey! Did you find any of the clues we dropped?

We did.

In all parts of the globe. Very confusing.

Fifteen Knots, keep moving!

Jacques: We tracked this Nautilus's movements across the globe.

There's a pattern.

You can tell me all about the pattern

as soon as we're out of here.

It looks lighter ahead.

Head straight for the centre.

We need to get out now!

Twenty five knots! Keep accelerating!

Almost there!

No!

Keep pushing!!

Oh no, you don't!

I've got this!

[struggling grunts]

No, I don't!

Jacques: In case anything happens, you need to know about "the key"

Not now. We can't shift, it's-

Jacques: It's okay, son. I understand.

Is there anything to protect you if-

We love you!

Kathryn: We love all of you too.

Wait, armor!

Jacques: Armor!

You need underwater armor, Gramps!

Go to.

[all scream]

Can anyone hear me?

Mom?

Dad?

Oh, no!

Can, anyone see them?

I can't. There's nothing.

C'mon! They made it!

They're here somewhere!

Whoa!!!

What's wrong, Jeffrey?

Can you hear something?

Guys! Down here!

Quick!

What's that?

The escape capsule.

Looks like the flotation system was damaged!

Did they make it in?

I don't know. Let's go.

Please, please.

Mom!

Will!

Underwater armor for underwater protection.

Good call, Ant!

Knew you'd make it, Gramps.

Dad never gave up searching.

Of course, he didn't. He's a Nekton.

We find what's lost.

Huh?

Ant, who's this?

This is Jeffrey.

Arguably, the most important member of the family.

He was the one who found you!

Thank you, Jeffrey!

[kissing sounds]

Everyone?

What's that?

Oh!

You need to see this.

It's back.

And it's beautiful.

Listen, in Lemuria we deciphered a legend.

Lemurians believed a key to the sea could balance the oceans!

How could one thing balance the oceans?

No idea.

But we think the Nautilus is trying to find this key.

It's been moving with purpose all over the world.

Is that the pattern, you mentioned?

Yup.

Look!

Oh no, not again.

It's vanished again!

We have to find it!

How?

We have no idea where it went.

Unless someone put a tracker on it.

Fontaine, you did?

Initiative, right?

Brilliant!

That's my granddaughter!

Awesome!

So, let's find that key to the sea.

Reunited Nekton family.

Set sail!

-Hey, that's my line! -Mine first.

-No way! -Been doing it for years.

Ohh, okay.

Hey wait! How about we say it together?

You're on!

Reunited Nektons.

All: Set sails!
