Octonauts Special: Operation Deep Freeze Octonauts

-SIREN SOUNDS

-Octonauts, to your stations.

Barnacles!

Kwazii!

Peso!

-Explore!

-Rescue!

-Protect!

Are you sure this is the place, Captain?

I'm sure, Kwazii.

The Arctic Polar Scout Emergency Post is out here on the sea ice.

Ah-ha! There it is.

Let's go!

I'll just knock on the...

-Oh.

-Captain Barnacles!

It's good to see you back in the old post, sir.

Kwazii, Peso, meet Tracker. Tracker, meet...

The Octonaut guys! I mean, the Octonauts.

-I'm Kwazii.

-And I'm Peso.

Welcome to the Polar Scout Emergency Post.

Tracker's in charge here and he does an excellent job.

I was trained by the best.

-That's you and Captain Barnacles.

-Yep.

Before he was Captain of the Octonauts,

he trained polar scouts like me for the emergency service.

What kind of work do you do at this post, matey?

OK, this is my listening station.

When someone sends out a call for help in the Arctic,

it's my job to hear it and make sure they get the help they need.

And that's why we're going to set up a connection between

this emergency post and the Octopod.

So we can work together to help as many creatures as possible.

-Ready to test the link?

-Ready, sir!

Dashi here, Captain.

Tracker, meet Dashi. She's our computer expert aboard the Octopod.

-Nice to meet you, Tracker.

-Really nice to meet you.

So, how's the signal?

Good.

SIREN SOUNDS

-OK, that's a call for help.

-And where's it coming from?

-It's...

Wow, that's weird. It's not coming from the Arctic.

-It's coming from the opposite side of the world...

-The Antarctic.

Yeah, and...

Whoa, Captain. It's coming from an old ice research station

that's been shut down for years.

So there shouldn't be anyone living at that station at all.

But someone's sending a call for help.

And someone needs to answer it.

-Tracker, stand by.

-Yes, sir!

-SIREN SOUNDS

-Octonauts, to the HQ!

SIREN SOUNDS

Octonauts, our mission is to answer a mysterious call for help

from the other side of the world.

-Tracker?

-Right, sir! I'm sending through a map now.

Here we are in the Arctic.

The call for help came from this ice research station in the Antarctic.

And who lives at the station?

Tracker says it's been shut down for years.

And nobody's heard a peep from it until now, mateys.

Dashi, set a course for the Antarctic.

Tracker, we'll keep you posted.

Cool! I mean, right, sir. And good luck! Tracker out.

Activating launch.

WHOOSH

Welcome to Antarctica.

Octonauts, to the Gup-S.

WHIRRING

We've come all the way from the Arctic to the Antarctic.

But, really, what's the difference?

Ah, are lots of differences, Kwazii.

For one thing, polar bears live only in the Arctic.

And penguins live in the Antarctic.

And just look at the map.

The Arctic is north.

The Antarctic is south.

When it's winter in the Arctic, it's summer in the Antarctic.

The Arctic is a frozen ocean surrounded by land.

The Antarctic is a frozen land surrounded by ocean.

They're both too cold for cats!

But the Antarctic is even colder than the Arctic.

The Antarctic is the coldest place on earth all year round!

Ooh!

My whiskers are shivering just thinking about it.

-Hot cocoa. Warmer, warmer.

-Hot chocolate! That should warm me up.

Thanks, Tunip!

-WHOOSH

-Bleugh! What was that?

I'm not sure.

-WHOOSH

-Whatever it is, we're surrounded!

And one of them is heading straight for us!

Argh!

Peso?

Ooju!

Octonauts, this is my cousin Ooju.

He's an Adelie penguin. What are you doing out here?

We're making our big, once a year journey from the sea

-back to our nesting grounds on the land.

-That can't be an easy trip.

No. But I've seen so many amazing things along the way.

Look at the beautiful shape of this ice.

Ooju, please keep up with the rest of the group.

But look who I found!

Cousin Peso!

So nice to see you. I wish we had time to talk.

We have to get to our nesting grounds soon.

And after this big swim, we still have a long march across the land.

I understand! Goodbye, Ooju! Safe journey, everyone!

-Thanks, Peso!

-Bye, Peso. Say hello to your family for us!

Aw, you penguins make the Antarctic seem a little friendlier, matey.

Everyone, it's time to take the Gup-S onto land.

Settle in and get comfortable. We've got a long trip ahead of us.

We should be getting close to the ice research station.

Keep your eyes peeled, everyone.

It's difficult to see anything out there.

Who knows, mateys?

With all this wind and snow, the station may have disappeared

without a trace.

Captain, flashing light straight ahead.

I think we've found our research station.

Let's see if anyone's home.

In all this wind and snow, it's easy to get lost,

so everyone hold on to this rope.

That way, we'll stay together. Everybody ready?

-Wait! Where's my...?

-Hot cocoa!

-Thanks, matey! See you later.

All right, Octonauts. Let's move out.

WIND HOWLS

Hello!

No answer.

PESO GULPS

Hmm, I wonder what that is.

HE GRUNTS

Hmm.

Let's see what this does.

SOUND OF AN ENGINE STARTING

Yeah!

Octonauts, follow me.

HE GRUNTS

Who knows what lies within?

DEEP RUMBLE

What's that scurvy sound?

Whatever it is, it's coming from in there.

DEEP RUMBLE

It's some kind of recording.

Whoa! The floor is tilted!

Maybe all this snow and wind

has kind of pushed the station over on its side.

-Look, a cup of tea and...

-A biscuit! With only one bite out of it!

Somebody had to eat and run.

And somebody's been filling up a lot of notebooks.

"Getting closer. Very loud now.

"Must be deep down in the ice."

-CREAKING SOUND

-Whoa!

What was that?

Argh!

Everybody out! Here, grab on!

HE GRUNTS

RUMBLING Ah! Ah! Ooh!

-Is everyone OK?

-Safe and sound, Captain.

But we still don't know who called for help.

Look, Captain, tracks!

Hmm. These tracks are the paw prints of an Arctic fox.

But that doesn't make sense, Captain.

Arctic foxes don't live in the Antarctic.

Let's see where these lead.

I don't believe it! Professor Natquik?

Oh! I don't believe it!

Barnacles!

-THEY LAUGH

-Did you call for help?

-Yes, yes.

I was beginning to think that nobody heard me.

Octonauts, this is Professor Natquik.

When I was a young polar scout,

he taught me how to do field research in the Arctic.

And I'm happy to see you.

Remember what I taught you - how to recognise tracks,

how to listen for sounds that others miss, and...

Ha-ha-ha!

..how to dodge one of my surprise snowballs. Very good, Barnacles!

Thanks, but what are you doing so far from home, Professor Natquik?

I came here to do research in the Antarctic many years ago.

No-one knew you were still here.

My radio broke long ago, but I couldn't leave.

I'm on the edge of an amazing discovery,

but it may soon be lost.

Lost? Why?

Follow me. Quick, quick.

-This is why I called for help.

-THEY GASP

I realised that the ice was moving

and pulling the station into this enormous ice chasm.

-When it falls in...

-All of your work goes with it.

And disappears forever.

LOUD CREAKING SOUND

As you can see, it could fall in at any moment!

Then we've no time to lose! Tweak?

We can pull this ice research station to safety

faster than you can say buncha munchy crunchy...

Ooh, frozen carrots!

Octonauts, let's do this.

Whoa!

SHE GASPS

Activate snow spikes.

THEY GRUNT

Thank you, Octonauts. You saved the station and my life's work!

Now, I can share my amazing discovery. Follow me! Quick, quick!

I always pounce on the chance to investigate a strange, new sound.

When I arrived in Antarctica, I discovered this...

DEEP RUMBLING

HE GASPS The "bloop" sound!

But who or what was making it? That was the question.

I tracked the sound deep in the ice until, finally,

I discovered that the mysterious bloop is made by...

A humongous Blooptopus?

-No, it's...

-A gigantic Bloopzilla?

-No.

-A monstrous Blooperoceros?

-No, no!

The bloop sound is made by enormous ice quakes.

-ALL:

-Ice quakes?

-Yes, yes!

It's the sound the ice makes when it breaks..

-DEEP RUMBLING

-..and moves.

-Congratulations, Professor Natquik. That's quite a...

-Sh, listen.

-BEEPING SOUND

-Do you hear that?

-BEEPING SOUND

-Hear what?

-I hear nothing.

I'm afraid we don't have your Arctic fox hearing.

Ah, yes. Here, listen through speakers.

CLICKING SOUND

Ah, yes. I hear it now.

But what is it?

Hmm. Sounds like the pitter-patter of lots of little feet.

No, no. It's not pitter-patter. It's a...woodle-waddle.

-A woodle-waddle? But what woodle-waddles?

-My cousins -

the Adelie penguins - they woodle-waddle. They're heading back.

And they could be heading straight for the ice chasm.

Captain, with all the wind blowing the snow around, my cousins

might not see the chasm before it's too late. They could fall in.

We need to warn them to stay back. Everyone, to the Gup-S.

Cap, the flares are ready to go.

They should be bright enough so the Adelie penguins

can see them even through the snow.

Good work, Tweak.

Now, we just have to make sure our timing is right. Dashi?

The radar shows that the Adelie penguins are close to the chasm.

All right, Peso, let's send up the flares. On my count...

three, two, one.

-Ooh!

-Oh, what's that?

-What's that?

Did you see those lights?

Attention, Adelie penguins. This is your cousin Peso speaking.

-It's Peso!

-Listen.

-Quiet, everybody.

-What's he saying?

-Sh!

Please stay where you are and don't go any further,

or you'll fall into an ice chasm!

-Everybody, stop!

-Oh, my!

Thanks, Peso! We'll stay where we are.

But we still have to get to our nesting grounds.

Is there some way that they can go around the ice chasm?

The ice chasm is miles long.

-Going around it could take a long time.

-Captain, they're already tired

from their long trip from the sea onto the land.

If they have to travel extra miles around this chasm,

I'm not sure all of them will make it.

We'll just have to find a way to get them over this ice chasm.

A bridge might work, but what could we make it out of?

There's nothing but snow and ice in this scurvy place,

and it takes more than that to build a bridge. Brr!

I need something to warm me up. Argh! Look.

It's so cold that my hot chocolate freezes as soon as I pour it!

-Kwazii, you're a genius!

-I am?

Cap, I know just how we're going to make a bridge.

First, we drill a tunnel through the ice

and the heated drill will melt the ice into water as we go.

Then the water will pour out from our side of the chasm

and, as it hits the other side, it'll freeze up.

Just like my hot chocolate!

Octonauts, let's make an ice bridge!

Brace yourselves!

PENGUINS CHEER

Penguins, you can start crossing the bridge.

But please be careful.

Come on, Ooju.

OOJU GASPS

Is everyone safe and accounted for?

Yes, Captain. I believe everyone's here.

Oh.

Except... Hold on.

-ALL:

-Where's Ooju?

Ooh. Wow.

Ooju!

Hi, Peso! Look at these amazing icicles.

And over here, the ice is wavy!

You need to hurry and cross the bridge now.

Yes, quick, quick! You never know when another ice quake could hit!

-Come on, Ooju.

-No time for stopping.

-Speed waddle!

-All right, I'm coming.

DEEP RUMBLING

Ice quake!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

-Aah!

-THEY GASP

Ooju!

Wait, I hear a rustling sound from somewhere in the ice chasm.

Yes, yes. That's definitely the sound of penguin flippers.

He's alive!

-How can we get him out?

-If only we could fly!

-Poor Ooju!

Don't worry, penguins. We'll save him!

Octonauts, one of us will have to go down after him.

-I'm ready to go, Captain.

-I'd like to go. Ooju may be hurt

and need medical help right away.

Agreed. Peso, the rest of the team will lower you down to Ooju.

And we'll pull both of you back up safe and sound.

That's a promise, matey.

Octonauts, let's set up the rescue rope.

All ready here!

-Ready!

-Ready!

-Ready!

-Ready!

On rope. Going down.

HE GRUNTS

Ooju, can you hear me?

Peso?

I'm down here.

Yes! I'm coming for you. More rope, Captain.

Did I fall all the way to the bottom?

No, you were lucky! You landed on a ledge. Are you hurt?

My flippers are fine, but I can't move my foot.

Hold on, I'm almost there!

Peso!

-Aah!

-Ooju!

Grr! Dig in!

Good. Hold your positions. Peso, are you OK?

Well, Captain, I'm at the end of my rope...

and so is Ooju.

-You got me!

-Yes, I've got you.

Captain, bring us up.

Well done, Peso. Octonauts, slow and steady with the rope.

Pull!

THEY CHEER

Good work, Octonauts, and especially you, Peso!

I've never seen flippers that fast!

Just doing my job. And now your foot needs a proper bandage.

It's time to finish our trip back to the nesting grounds.

Oh, dear. Ooju shouldn't waddle on his foot for a few more days.

I think we can help with that.

-Forward...waddle!

-Goodbye.

-Bye now!

-Take care now!

So, how fast can this thing go?

Let's find out, matey!

Fantastic!

Well, Professor Natquik, are you ready to get back to work?

Oh, yes, yes!

Oh, but I'm afraid this old ice research station is falling apart.

Hmm. What do you think, Tweak?

Well, it's definitely a fixer-upper, so let's fix her up.

Just give me about eight weeks and two days.

Ah-ha! This is wonderful, wonderful!

Glad you like it. I call it the Gup-I.

The I is for ice.

I've put in solar panels and these turbines

to harness the wind for power.

The whole station is on snow treads now,

so you can move it away from any ice chasm that suddenly opens up.

But that's not all.

Go ahead and raise her up, Dashi!

These legs can lift the station up high if the snow gets too deep.

Ha-ha! Incredible!

If you like the outside, you'll love what's inside. Come on.

Your very own hot chocolate machine.

Brr! And plenty of biscuit, biscuit.

But that's not the best new feature.

It's not?

We've set up special pole to pole communications. Dashi?

This is the Arctic Polar Scout Emergency Post. Tracker here.

Tracker, meet Professor Natquik

of the Antarctic Ice Research Station.

Now known as the Gup-I.

Good to meet you, Tracker.

-SLURP

-Ooh, listen. A mysterious new sound.

SLURP I hear it too.

But who or what is making it? That is the question.

SLURP

Oh, I believe it was the sound of a humongous...

slurp-topus!

-HE SLURPS

-Whoops.

-HE BURPS

-Sorry.

Well, Professor, now that mystery is solved,

how would you like a cup of hot chocolate?

-Oh, yes, yes.

-Yes, please.

-Me, too.

I'm ready for seconds.

-Good work, Tweak.

-Yummy! THEY GIGGLE

Delicious.
