The Beluga Whales Octonauts

-SIREN WAILS

-'Octonauts, to your stations!'

Barnacles!

Kwazii!

Peso!

-Explore!

-Rescue!

-Protect!

Captain Barnacles to Shellington and Dashi. How's it going up there?

Er...a bit slowly, Captain. This Arctic ice is so thick,

it's taking our sonic slicer forever to cut through it.

Almost... Just a little more.

There.

We made it through. We're heading up now to gather the ice samples.

MUSIC PLAYS BOTH: Huh?!

Just try to be quick.

The hole you made in the ice will freeze over very fast

-and you won't be able to get...

-MUSIC PLAYS

-..back into the water.

-Aye-aye, Captain.

We'll be quick. Over and out.

-MUSIC PLAYS

-Who's making that music, Captain?

I'm not sure, but it's certainly making it hard to work.

Let's investigate.

THEY MUTTER HAPPILY

Peso, me hearty! I didn't know you were so good at playing music.

Thanks. The xylophone was a present from my aunt.

You're getting good.

But do you think you can take a break, so...

-BLEEP!

-'This is Shellington calling.

'Come in, Octopod.'

Barnacles here. Everything OK?

'Captain, we found another hole!'

Another hole in the ice?

Yes, but that's not all.

I'm sending a video to you now, Captain.

They're beluga whales, Captain.

Yes, I see. But what are they doing?

'They appear to be trapped under the pack ice.

'They SHOULD be in open water.'

-Can you ask them if they need help?

-'I'll try, but they're very shy.'

Wait, please! I'm Shellington and this is Dashi.

We are the Octonauts. We might be able to help you.

Have to breathe! Have to breathe!

What are you doing right out here, under the pack ice?

The water froze over us. WE have to stay near this hole.

But why do you need the hole?

Have to breathe. Have to breathe!

Why can't you just swim back to the open water, where there's no ice?

Too far away. Can't swim that far without breathing.

Have to stay near the hole.

What do you make of this?

'The belugas are trapped. There's ice all round them'

-and only a small hole where they can breathe.

-This hole's freezing over.

It's getting smaller and smaller.

We have to rescue those belugas right away. Sound the Octo-alert.

-SIREN WAILS

-Octonauts, to the launch bay.

Octonauts, our mission is to lead the belugas back to open water,

where there's no ice.

But we need something that can cut a path through the ice,

-so they can breathe along the way.

-The sonic slicers?

They're too slow. We need to act fast,

-before the belugas' breathing hole freezes over.

-I have just the thing!

OK, Tweak. Let's see if your ice-breaker attachment works. Grr!

HE GROANS

-The ice isn't breaking.

-Pack ice is really thick.

It takes a lot to break it.

-Yes!

-Way to go!

Yarr! Shiver me whiskers! You did it!

Open water.

Now, if I can just get those belugas to follow me...

Belugas, this path will lead you to open waters.

Have to stay near the hole, where it's safe and quiet.

Belugas, please! Follow me, before the ice freezes over.

Oh, no.

Oh, dear. This is not good at all.

'Hmm. The belugas don't seem to want to leave their breathing hole.'

TUNIP SIGHS HAPPILY

If only they would follow Captain Barnacles.

-HE GASPS

-I've got it!

-Fish biscuits.

-Huh?!

What's your plan, Kwazii?

I reckon these belugas must be getting pretty hungry by now.

So I brought 'em a little fish biscuit snack, courtesy of Tunip.

Belugas, follow me!

It's fish biscuit feast time. Yarrr!

Yes, it's working.

Shiver me whiskers! Those fishies think this is food for them.

Go away. Go on, go!

Leave it alone!

Belugas, follow me! It's dinner time.

Too many scary noises. Have to stay by the hole, where it's safe.

-Why aren't they following me?

-Belugas, like all whales,

are scared of loud, strange noises.

So, the sound of the GUP-C cracking the ice and the sound of, well,

Kwazii, probably scared them.

How can we show them that this path to open water is safe?

Professor Inkling, any ideas?

I know exactly what sound will make them follow you.

An old whale song recording. They'll hear their own sounds

and follow right along.

WHALE SONG RECORDING PLAYS

RECORD SLOWS DOWN, SCRATCHES AND STICKS

Oh, oh! Eh... Oh.

Oh, my!

We're losing 'em again. We've got to do something.

-The path is already starting to freeze over.

-That noise they make -

-that sounded a little bit like...

-PESO'S MUSIC PLAYS

..Peso's music!

Peso, we need you and your xylophone out here right away.

Are you sure this is the best time for music?

This is exactly the time for music. YOUR music!

Captain, I'm ready to play.

All right, Peso. It's show time.

It's working!

Peso's xylophone playing sounds just like the belugas' song.

Have to stay close to the hole, where it's safe.

But those sounds are so nice.

Have to breathe. Have to breathe!

It's OK. We can breathe along this path!

If we follow the nice sounds down the path,

we won't be stuck here any more.

THEY ALL HUM ALONG TO PESO'S TUNE

Here we are. Open water.

Great work, Peso.

Thank you, Octonauts. Sorry we didn't follow you at first.

We belugas are always a bit shy around creatures we don't know,

and all those loud noises scared us.

Well, now we know each other.

And we love your music.

It sounds just like ours.

Come on. Everyone join in.

Two, three, four.

Nah! I don't know how to sing like a beluga.

Oh, come on, Kwazii. It's easy!

# Ha, ha-ha, ha-ha

# Hm, hm-hm, hm-hm

# Ya, la-la, la-la

# La, la, la. #

Goodbye, Octonauts. Thanks again.

-Goodbye, belugas.

-Safe journey, now.

Goodbye.

THEY HAPPILY HUM PESO'S TUNE
