0:00:02 > 0:00:06Octonauts, to your stations!

0:00:06 > 0:00:11- CHILDREN SHOUT: - Barnacle! Kwazii! Peso!

0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Explore!- Rescue!- Protect!

0:00:41 > 0:00:43- CHILDREN SHOUT:- Octonauts!

0:00:51 > 0:00:52What's our position, Dashi?

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Just approaching the eastern coast of Australia.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57Australia?

0:00:57 > 0:01:00I've heard a tale or two about the strange beasties

0:01:00 > 0:01:02that lived there, me hearties.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03HE GULPS

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Actually, Kwazii's right.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Many of the creatures in Australia are found

0:01:09 > 0:01:11nowhere else in the wo-o-o-orld...

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Whoa!

0:01:13 > 0:01:14Hold on, everyone!

0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Whoa...- Aahh...

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Oh! Is everyone OK?

0:01:23 > 0:01:25- I'm fine.- I'm OK, Captain. - Yes, I think so.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Aye-aye, Captain. Just practising my tumbles.

0:01:29 > 0:01:34- Dashi, what just happened?- Well, we were passing this river, Captain.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37There's been a lot of rain in this area,

0:01:37 > 0:01:40and all the extra water caused the river to flood.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43It's gushing out into the ocean much faster than usual.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47And it's sweeping the river creatures out with it!

0:01:47 > 0:01:49SHOUTING

0:01:49 > 0:01:50What's going on?

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Looks like they need our help. Kwazii, sound the Octo-alert.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Octonauts, to the launch bay.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Octonauts, the river here has flooded.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13We've got to head upstream and help any creatures who may be in trouble.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Kwazii, Peso, Shellington, into the GUP-A.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21We have to rescue the river creatures that have been swept

0:02:21 > 0:02:25out to sea. Kwazii, activate fish-vac.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30GIGGLING

0:02:32 > 0:02:34LAUGHTER

0:02:34 > 0:02:36CHEERING

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Now let's take them back home.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Be careful out there, little fishies. This river's flowing fast!

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Looks like the flooding caused a lot of damage.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56There must be more creatures who need our help.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Octonauts, let's do this.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Well done. Everything looks back to normal.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Let's head home before it gets dark. - I'll be right there, Captain.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Part of the river bank has collapsed.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26I just want to make sure no creatures were hurt.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30- All right, Shellington. - Captain! Kwazii's found something!

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Feast your eyes on this! - Hmm, an egg.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38It was just sitting there, alone on the river bank, Captain.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41- We'd better get it back to where it belongs.- Where's that?

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Ah... The shell is hard and thick. This egg was laid on land.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48We should show it to, um...

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Aargh!- Shellington!

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Shellington, where are you?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Over here, Captain.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Ow!

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Ooh, it stung my leg.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01What? What stung your leg?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- One of...them!- There they are!

0:04:03 > 0:04:06- CREATURE:- Don't let 'em get away.

0:04:06 > 0:04:07THEY SCREAM

0:04:10 > 0:04:14- We're under attack!- Quick! Everyone back to the craft!- Ooh!

0:04:23 > 0:04:26What happened out there, Shellington?

0:04:26 > 0:04:30Two creatures came out of nowhere, and one of them stung me in the leg.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Ooh...

0:04:31 > 0:04:36What were those things? They had bills and claws and...

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Hold on... I'll be a sea monkey's uncle!

0:04:39 > 0:04:45- It's a pair of duck-faced river monsters!- A pair of duck-faced what?

0:04:45 > 0:04:46Now, Kwazii...

0:04:46 > 0:04:50'Tis a strange, slippery beast that is said to

0:04:50 > 0:04:53lurk in Australian rivers just like this one.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56It's made up of parts from different creatures.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00A bill like a duck, fur like a bear, webbed paws like an otter,

0:05:00 > 0:05:04claws like a cat, a tail like a beaver,

0:05:04 > 0:05:11and worst of all, a sharp, spiny stinger like a giant bumblebee!

0:05:11 > 0:05:16This here sting is the work of the duck-faced river monster.

0:05:16 > 0:05:17HE GULPS

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Whatever it was that stung you, it looks serious.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25- How are you feeling, Shellington? - Er...not too good, Captain.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Don't worry, Shellington. I'm sure I can make you better.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I just need my...medical bag.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Captain, I must have dropped it! It's...out there.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39With the duck-faced river monsters.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Peso, stay in the GUP and look after Shellington as best you can.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Kwazii, you and I are going out there to find Peso's medical bag.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yiaow!

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Oh, I almost forgot. We'll find out who this egg belongs to

0:05:53 > 0:05:56and return it as soon as we take care of Shellington.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Good luck out there. Hurry. - Ohh...ooh!

0:06:01 > 0:06:06- No sign of the creatures yet.- No sign of Peso's medical bag, either.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09It could be anywhere in this murky muck.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Oh...looks like we've got company.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17Kwazii, you keep them distracted while I search the riverbed. Ready?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Ready, Captain.- Then let's do this.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Hey, you duck-faced fur ball!

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Over here!

0:06:25 > 0:06:28I'm not scared of you, whatever you are!

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Ah. I'm sure it's around here somewhere.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36- I did it, Captain.- Ooh! Oh!

0:06:36 > 0:06:40I led those monsters on a wild goose chase! They'll never find us now...

0:06:41 > 0:06:45Hm. This time, Kwazii, you look for the bag

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- and I'll lead the creatures away. - Aye-aye, Captain.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Hey! Up here! That's it!

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Ho-ho! Here I am!

0:06:53 > 0:06:57What's taking the Captain and Kwazii so long?

0:06:57 > 0:07:01Don't worry, Shellington - they'll be back soon. I hope.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02CRACKING

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Ah! Flapperty flippers! The egg's hatching!

0:07:06 > 0:07:07Wow!

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Shiver me whiskers - Peso's bag!

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Yow!

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Look out, Kwazii!

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Yargh.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Yargh!

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Kwazii, this way!

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Shellington, look!

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Oh, fascinating.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33CRACKING

0:07:33 > 0:07:35A bill.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37A furry tail.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39A webbed claw.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44It's a duck-faced river monster!

0:07:44 > 0:07:46SQUEAKING

0:07:46 > 0:07:49And...it's really cute.

0:07:49 > 0:07:56Oh, jumping jellyfish! That's no monster - it's a baby platypus.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57A platypus?

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Platypuses are river creatures that lay eggs.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03They only live here, in Australia.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07Then those creatures outside must be platypuses too.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12That's right - and platypus fathers have stingers on their back legs.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14No wonder he's stung me.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15They want their baby back.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19I'd better get it back to them before anyone else gets hurt.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Careful on that leg, Shellington. I'll be right back.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28THEY GROAN

0:08:28 > 0:08:31How do they keep finding us in the dark?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33We're trapped.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35Huh?

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Hah! We've got you right where we want you.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Now hand it over.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Um... Excuse me? Hand what over?

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Not going to co-operate, huh? - All right, then.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Get ready to feel the sting!

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Stop!

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Look.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54SQUEAKING

0:08:54 > 0:08:55Our baby!

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- He's got your bill.- And your tail.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03A baby duck-faced monster?

0:09:03 > 0:09:05It's not a duck-faced monster.

0:09:05 > 0:09:10It's a duck-billed platypus. It hatched from that egg you found.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Our egg must have rolled into the river during the flood.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16We were looking for everywhere for it.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20We're very sorry, platypuses. We didn't know it was yours.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22We were going to find out where it came from,

0:09:22 > 0:09:24but then our friend Shellington, well...

0:09:24 > 0:09:28Oh, right, yeah. Sorry for the sting.

0:09:28 > 0:09:33I was just protecting my family, and I got a little bit, er, stingy!

0:09:33 > 0:09:34I completely understand,

0:09:34 > 0:09:38but I've got to find my medical bag so I can help Shellington.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Aye. It's somewhere down in the muck.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44Perhaps I can make up for what I did to your mate and find that for you.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'll be right back.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49But how will he be able to find my bag in the dark?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52We platypuses don't mind the dark,

0:09:52 > 0:09:54because we swim with our eyes closed anyway.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57We find our way around underwater

0:09:57 > 0:09:59using our special bill.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01It tells us where things are.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06A-ha!

0:10:08 > 0:10:10My medical bag!

0:10:10 > 0:10:11Thank you so much.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Oh, thanks, Peso.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17It's feeling better already.

0:10:17 > 0:10:22Don't worry - the pain from my stinger should wear off soon.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Sorry again, mate. And thanks for keeping our little one safe.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Oh, not to worry, It's not every day

0:10:28 > 0:10:30I get to meet a family of furry,

0:10:30 > 0:10:32wet-footed, stinging, egg-laying,

0:10:32 > 0:10:35beaver-tailed, duck-billed platypi!

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Ooh, aah - you're standing on my foot!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Oops. Sorry.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43THEY ALL LAUGH
