0:00:04 > 0:00:06I believe this could be very important, Nereus.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09It's hard to tell from here, William.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I'd need to see the picture first-hand.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15This part of the Chronicle seems to refer to Lemuria's Needle.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21- Hmm. Perhaps.- Mr Nereus, is it needle as in compass?
0:00:21 > 0:00:24And is it connected to our piece of the Ephemychron?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27It could be. But then again...
0:00:27 > 0:00:29My family has been searching for
0:00:29 > 0:00:31lost Lemuria for generations, Nereus.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Why are you being so mysterious?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Ugh, mysterious is probably his middle name.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Mysterious is not my middle name.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41I think Mysterious is his first name.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Mysterious...not...first...either.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Nereus? Oh, we lost his signal.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Huh?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Ant, look! Isn't it that Mr Mysterious?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Nereus? How?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Of course.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01He pretends he's miles away, then makes a surprise entrance.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hmm, that does sound like his style.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Well, this time, let's surprise him.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Surprise!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Huh? You're not Nereus.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16You must be Fontaine.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18And you must be Antaeus.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm so pleased to meet you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22My name is Proteus.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27My family are explorers.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We have been for generations.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30While others look up to the stars,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32we know there are an infinite number
0:01:32 > 0:01:35of things that shine in the darkness below.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38There are things lurking in the seas that long ago vanished into
0:01:38 > 0:01:41myth. My family are explorers and we explore...
0:01:41 > 0:01:43the deep.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I feel like I've been waiting to
0:01:56 > 0:01:59meet the Nekton family my entire life.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01So, like, a really long time?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Ow!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05My friend Nereus always has some
0:02:05 > 0:02:07reason not to introduce us.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10So you know Nereus.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11As well as anyone can.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13He's a little mysterious.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Oh, I know, right?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19But I'm here to help you find Lemuria's Needle.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22How did you know we were looking for Lemuria's Needle?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Well, you were in the area.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26- ALERT BLARES - Huh?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Mayday, Mayday! Can anyone hear me?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Aronnax receiving you. What's the nature of your emergency?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I'm Captain Marko on the icebreaker, Macintosh.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39We're trapped in pack ice.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- We have your coordinates. We're on our way.- Thank you.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Please hurry.- Nektons, we have a ship in distress.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Everyone back to the bridge.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Oh, my, sounds urgent.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52You'd better come aboard.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Captain Marko, we'll be arriving in 20 minutes.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Hang on.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Nereus and I are both members of the Guardians.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Nereus once mentioned something about guardians
0:03:11 > 0:03:13but never told us what they do.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17We basically try to preserve Lemurian culture.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19But why wouldn't Nereus just say that?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Nereus and I do things differently.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26To be honest, sometimes I wonder if he wants you to find Lemuria at all.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Lemuria's Needle and the Ephemychron are connected.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- I knew it!- When all the pieces of the Ephemychron are connected,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37it forms an ancient navigational computer.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40And here in the Chronicle it reads,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43"The wielder of the Ephemychron is the wayfinder
0:03:43 > 0:03:46"and the compass of their people."
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I've been trying to translate that for months.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Thank you.- My pleasure.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54When was the last time Nereus translated anything for us?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56He does. Occasionally.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Once or twice.- The Chronicle suggests you will find this
0:04:00 > 0:04:01by heading due north.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Just so we're clear, Proteus now rates way above Nereus in my book.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08He doesn't play games.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Nereus is kind of intentionally mysterious, isn't he, Jeffery?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Good point. See, you know how to give a straight answer!
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Aronnax, are you reading me?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Captain Marko, we're almost there.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29My boat is at the point of breaking up.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31The Macintosh cannot take any more of this.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33It won't have to.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Hold on to something.- What?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Why do I have to hold on to something?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Where are...?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Whoa!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53That just might do it.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55We'll carve a channel to open water for you.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Incredible.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Stay safe, Captain Marko.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Aronnax out.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Full steam ahead!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11We're 20 miles from true north.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15If I read this correctly, you'll need to turn to port three degrees,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17head towards magnetic north and descend.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Technically, true north is right at the top of the planet
0:05:22 > 0:05:24but compasses point to magnetic north,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26where the Earth's magnetic field is focused.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Yes, it is fascinating.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Aronnax, your transponder signal!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Nereus, your signal is very weak.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41You...almost...North Pole.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Yes. Your friend Proteus is with us.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46He says he has something to show us.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Hello, old friend.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Proteus!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Be careful of the...
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Mr Nereus? Be careful of what?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- We lost the signal. - Be careful of the...
0:05:58 > 0:05:59What could he have meant?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Maybe he was trying to be mysterious again.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04He was trying to warn us of something.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Now, now, Antaeus.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08You have nothing to fear.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Trust me.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Depth is 1.2km. We can't go much deeper.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18What's that?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22A mountain?
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Engines off.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Is that what I think it is?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Indeed it is.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36That is the North Pole.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Wow.- Incredible.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Look, the North Pole floats!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49In ancient times, Lemurians placed this here.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53It marks the exact position of magnetic north.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56The Chronicle states that, when assembled,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00the Ephemychron will align itself with Lemuria's Needle.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Using this and other significant markers,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06it can calculate the route to Lemuria.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08This is almost too amazing to believe.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09PROTEUS CHUCKLES
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Believe it, William.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Some Guardians delight in sharing their knowledge.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Especially with keen adventurers such as yourselves.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Thank you, Proteus.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I want to know what Nereus meant by "be careful".
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Don't pretend, Jeffery.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28I know you're curious too.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34With the radio boat we deployed, we might get a stronger signal.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Aronnax to Nereus, Aronnax to Nereus.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Nereus! Can you hear me?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Who...let Proteus aboard?- What?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Yes, Proteus is here, but what did you mean by "be careful"?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Be...wits about you!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52What? Hello?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Nereus?- I thought you'd be more interested in the North Pole.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57I am, I...
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- It's incredible.- You are very smart, aren't you, Antaeus?
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Ant, Fontaine, please prepare the rover for deployment immediately.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Your father wants to see the pole up close.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12It's the eighth wonder of the world.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Hmm, something smells fishy here.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Oh, sorry, Jeffery. Not you.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Moving closer to the obelisk.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30What an incredible vehicle.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32You want a closer look?
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Yes, please.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Uh, maybe just don't press any buttons.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41CREAKING
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Hmm, that's strange.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Dad, the rover's ready.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Thanks, Fontaine.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Where's the Ephemychron?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Ant, did you put the Ephemychron back in my study?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Ant? Ant?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Your technology is impressive.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Everything is so easy to operate.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Uh, does "don't press any buttons"
0:09:16 > 0:09:18mean something different where you come from?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Ant!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Fontaine, I can't get through to the rover.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Can you ask Ant if he put the Ephemychron back in the study?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Ant, did you put the Ephemychron away?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Huh?- Proteus, what are you doing?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Ant, come in. Where are you going?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Why are you leaving without me?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Dad, can you try to reach Ant?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Ant, do you copy?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Proteus, take us back now!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Rover to Aronnax, Rover to Aronnax.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Hello?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02So, somehow that thing blocks radio signals, right?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Oh, you are clever.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Where are you taking me?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Ant, can you hear me?- What?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Will, look!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Huh? Look out!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Huh?- We're speeding up.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Listen, it's not me. We're being pulled.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34What's happening?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Engines are in full reverse.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37We can't stop.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39The North Pole is magnetised.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- We're going to hit!- Hold on!
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Whoa!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57The North Pole is the focal point in the earth's magnetic field.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59It's a giant electromagnet.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Proteus and Ant are gone.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- What?- How?- In the rover, just before things went crazy.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Proteus was driving.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Aronnax to rover. Can you hear me, Ant?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14I have a plan.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Jeffery is wondering why.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Nereus believes you are The One.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Which one?- You know exactly what I'm talking about.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27The Chosen One alone has the ability to assemble the pieces of
0:11:27 > 0:11:31the Ephemychron. It's time to fulfil your destiny.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'm in position.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45The magnite is made of carbon fibre, completely nonconductive.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48OK. So we can't be magnetised and stuck,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50but why do you want the sea plane's cover?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It's thermoplastic, Fontaine.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Also nonconductive.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You're going to try and save us with a plastic sheet?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00If I can wrap it around the pole's face it might cut off the energy
0:12:00 > 0:12:04supply, weaken the magnetism and free the Aronnax.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Sounds like a plan.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09No offence, but do we have a plan B?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15ANT SHIVERS
0:12:16 > 0:12:20If you can make the Ephemychron whole, the power will be ours.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Never trust a man who carries a staff, Jeffery.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Stop playing!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26You will help me.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Not a chance!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Your parents are in mortal danger.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Mayday, Mayday!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Unless I tell your family how to save the Aronnax,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40they will be trapped for ever.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43If you want them free, prove to me that you are The One.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Mom!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00CREAKING
0:13:00 > 0:13:02The roof shouldn't be doing that.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04The hull is losing integrity.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Meaning?- Meaning we've got to get out of here now or the Aronnax could
0:13:07 > 0:13:09collapse in on itself.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15- Take this.- What?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Hey, that's ours!- Not any more.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Take this too.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24But that's...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Your task is simple.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29The Chronicle tells us The One will join the pieces of the Ephemychron
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- together. - There's supposed to be three.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Two should be enough to prove if you're genuine.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Or not.- If I do this, you'll help my family?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Of course.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48OK, must go this way.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Oh.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57That's it? That's the best you can do?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Nereus was wrong about you.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02You're just an annoying child.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Hey!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11OK, done.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14The instruments show you've blocked most of the energy flow coming from
0:14:14 > 0:14:16the earth. I'm trying the engines now.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I'm sorry, Will, it wasn't enough.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Help! This guy believes in destinies and wears robes as casual clothes!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Radio for help. My family is in danger!
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Your little friend is noisy, Proteus.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- You two.- He's also quite useless to me.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Captain Marko will take you far away.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I cannot allow Nereus to know of these events.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00You didn't help my family.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03You didn't put the Ephemychron together.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04You...
0:15:04 > 0:15:06You were lying! You were never going to help them!
0:15:09 > 0:15:11That's a bigger drop than I was expecting.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Are you sure about this, Kaiko?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18A charge through the hull should reverse our polarity.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Like turning a magnet around.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23So instead of being attracted we'll be repelled?
0:15:23 > 0:15:24That's the theory.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27But if it works, it could be a rough ride.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30The pole's diminished magnetism will slow the rate of propulsion so
0:15:30 > 0:15:32the Aronnax should be able to stay in one piece.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34SHOULD be able to?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Oh, there isn't a plan C, is there?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- On three.- One, two, three!
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Come on, come on!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Hook these to the auxiliary batteries.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03FROM ABOVE: Whoa!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- That really doesn't sound good. - THUMP
0:16:06 > 0:16:08That was a bigger drop than I was expecting.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- How are we doing?- We're ready to reverse polarity.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22What kind of Guardian endangers people's lives?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Give me that!
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Proteus?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Jeffery, stay.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Polarity reversing...
0:16:54 > 0:16:55now!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- We're free!- I wasn't expecting it to be this smooth.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05THUMP
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Will, the engines!
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Yes! Come on, let's find Ant.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I'm picking up a GPS signal from Ant's communicator.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Aronnax to Ant, can you hear me?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Can't...talk...
0:17:46 > 0:17:47freezing.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Nereus!- You're all right?
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Yes, but...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09but cold.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21You had no right to do what you did, Proteus.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26This fool is not The One and you are in no position to speak this way to
0:18:26 > 0:18:28the head of the Guardians.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32It has been decided, Proteus, you are no longer a Guardian.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Have it your way, Nereus.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42I have no need for the Guardians or the boy.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Oh, no!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46He's got both pieces of the Ephemychron!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Ha-ha-ha!
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Go after him!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Don't worry, Antaeus, he won't get far.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05What's all this stuff about The One?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10You are important, Antaeus.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14But Proteus's strange beliefs are deluded.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Nereus.- Go ahead, Glaucus.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27We have searched the icebreaker.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Proteus has vanished.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Well, that's annoying.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Thank you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Nereus, why would Proteus endanger all of our lives to find Lemuria?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41What's there that he could want so badly?
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Oh, the same thing
0:19:42 > 0:19:46sad, unimaginative people always want, Kaiko -
0:19:46 > 0:19:48wealth and power.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51At least, the Guardians believe that's what's there.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Some people think you should share more of the Guardians' knowledge,
0:19:55 > 0:19:56- Mr Nereus.- Honestly, Antaeus,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59we are no closer to finding Lemuria than you are.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Any information I give you may only hinder you.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05With both pieces of the Ephemychron,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07does that mean Proteus will find Lemuria?
0:20:07 > 0:20:12But he doesn't have the third piece and he doesn't have you.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I believe you, the Nekton family,
0:20:15 > 0:20:19are far more important than any ancient artefacts.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Why?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Oh, call it a hunch.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27He's back - Mr Mysterious!
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Yes, I get that a lot.
