The Oarfish Octonauts

-SIREN WAILS

-'Octonauts, to your stations!'

Barnacles!

Kwazii!

Peso!

-Explore!

-Rescue!

-Protect!

Octonauts!

Peso, be sure to keep an eye on your little brother.

We're going to have so much fun, Mum.

We're going to play games on the Octopod and we're...

All right, Pinto. But we can't play right now.

Captain Barnacles and the others are out on a mission and need my help.

An injured fish needs a medic right away.

Pinto, promise to do whatever your big brother tells you.

And, Peso, good luck on your mission. Love you.

-Love you too, Mummy.

-Bye, Mum.

Wow, a mission!

This is like the time those baby sea snails were in trouble

and you saved them. Remember? You were a hero.

Oh, I wouldn't call myself a hero.

How about when you have to take care of big and scary animals?

You have to be really brave to do that.

Well, it's all part of the job.

Can I come with you? Please, please, please!

I don't see why not. As long as you stay out of trouble.

I will. Oh, wow!

Thanks, Peso.

Captain, I'm on my way.

And I've brought my little brother, Pinto, with me.

Ah, very good. We'll see you both in a few minutes.

Pinto, scarf off, helmet on.

Good to see you again, Pinto.

Aye, glad you're here to help your brother.

-Where's the patient?

-Right this way.

I bet it's a barracuda or a devil fish...

or maybe even a giant octopus.

Oh...that's the patient?

-Uh!

-Say "ah".

Ah.

I reckon it's really serious. Can you even talk?

Erm, actually, I've got a bruise on my fin.

Pinto, would you please hand me...?

Your stethoscope? A thermometer? Tongue depressor?

Body cast?

Just a bandage roll, please.

Hah, hmm, hah... Ah, there, that should do it.

Dashi, can you please take a picture

so I can show my friends what a hero my big brother is?

No problem.

You should rest.

Would you like to come back to the Octopod so that you can get better?

Thank you. Don't mind if I do.

Good work, Peso...and Pinto.

We still have some exploring to do around here.

See you back at the Octopod.

Wow, an angler fish.

Huh... What's that?

Are you a snake or an eel?

Hey, guys, would you come and help me work out what I'm looking at?

Hey, what is that?

I wonder what that was. It was huge.

Oh, a tail like that can only belong to one thing, mateys.

The dreaded monster of the deep known as...the Nackerwack.

BOTH: The Nacker...what?

The Nackerwack.

He's as big as three whales set end to end.

Each tooth is the size of a dolphin.

And he's crafty. Knocks over ships just for the fun of it.

Come on, Kwazii, you don't really believe all that, do you?

Don't I? I bet that Nackerwack comes back for a sneak attack.

And if he does, I'll be waiting for him.

Well, it's a mystery, all right.

And one we need to investigate.

Professor Inkling, are you there?

Yes, Captain, how can I help you?

Dashi took a picture of the tail of a mysterious animal.

But none of us has a clue what it might be.

It's the Nackerwack, I tell you. The Nackerwack.

She's sending you the photo now.

Oh, most intriguing.

Let me look through my books and see what I can find out.

Thanks, Professor. Barnacles out.

Hello, Professor. Would you like to join us for a game of table tennis?

Oh, I'd love to play but I'm too busy searching for a monster.

A monster? Where?

Well, Kwazii thinks it's a monster.

But it's probably just a creature we've never seen before.

Do you need any help?

Certainly. Why don't you go through this book and look for

deep-sea creatures with very long tails,

while I go through this one.

And I'll keep an eye out for any monsters.

Look, over there.

No, just another angler fish. We're going to have to go deeper.

Aye. Right, into the Nackerwack's lair.

Inkling, have you found anything yet?

Not yet, Captain. It's getting hard to hear you.

-Inkling?

-Captain?

Oh, the radio doesn't work when they're down that deep.

Oh!

Erm...

HE WHISTLES

Oh!

Excuse me, but the monster you're looking for...

is it long?

Yes, extremely long.

And does it have shiny silver skin?

I think so, yes.

Does it have red spikes on its head?

Red spikes? Whatever made you think of red spikes?

-Oh... Ah!

-Ah!

CREATURE CRIES

Sound the Octo alert.

Sound the Octo alert.

ALARM BLARES Octonauts, to your stations!

Octonauts, who sounded the Octo alert? What's wrong?

I'm sorry, Captain, but...

We saw the monster! It was outside Professor Inkling's window and...

Ah. We have to get back to the Octopod now. Hang on.

Long tail, red spikes, silvery skin.

Of course, now I know what it is.

It's an oarfish.

An oarfish? I've never even heard of an oarfish.

That's because they're so rare.

You see, Pinto,

I told you it wasn't a monster.

Pinto? Where did he go?

Oh, dear. I know where he's going.

And we'd better catch him before he gets there.

Pinto...stop!

Pinto, what do you think you're doing?

I'm looking for the monster.

It's not a monster, it's an oarfish.

And... Oh!

BOTH: Wow!

That's the longest fish I've ever seen in my life.

OARFISH CRIES

I don't think the oarfish feels very well.

-Listen, he's crying.

-Let me check.

Excuse me, Mr Oarfish, are you all right?

Oh... No, I feel awful.

Why did you follow us back to the Octopod?

I wouldn't usually, I'm kind of shy.

But when I saw you take care of that other fish,

I thought maybe you could help me too.

Of course I'll help. What's wrong?

Oh, my throat, it really hurts.

And I'm the longest fish in the ocean. So that's a lot of throat.

OK, let's have a look. Say "ah".

Aah.

Wider, please.

Aaah!

ALL: Oh!

Avast, it's the Nackerwack.

-It's got Peso.

-We have to save him.

Your throat is all red. I think all you have is a bad cold.

Why don't we...? Ah!

Don't worry, Peso, I won't let the Nackerwack hurt my little buddy.

OARFISH CRIES

Woah, Kwazii, false alarm.

This isn't a Nackerwack.

-Uh?

-It's an oarfish, the longest fish in the ocean.

You mean, you weren't trying to eat Peso here?

No, of course not. I only eat tiny things.

And besides, I don't have any teeth. Look.

Aaah!

I knew that.

Now we just have to work out how to fit him in the sick bay.

Amazing. The oarfish can keep his body straight up while he swims.

Tail looks good down here. How do things look up there, Peso?

Looks good, Tweak.

Ah, I'm feeling better already.

He is incredibly long.

I can see why you might think he was a sea monster, Kwazii.

Yeah, my brother's a hero, all right.

He helps any creature who's sick or hurt.

From the smallest fish to the longest.

And look, Pinto, I took that picture you wanted of him,

so you can show your friends.

THEY ALL LAUGH
