0:00:02 > 0:00:03GULL CRIES

0:00:05 > 0:00:08THEY GASP, GLASS SHATTERS

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Aaagh!

0:00:10 > 0:00:11GULL CRIES

0:00:21 > 0:00:22Good evening, Dolos.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24William Nekton.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26A pleasure, as always.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Ahem...

0:00:28 > 0:00:32Oh, yes - the child is also here.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35In the last week, three boats have sunk in the Sargasso Sea.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38Oh, so sad. But life goes on, yes?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Two trawlers went down, and a solo yachtsman.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44- We managed to rescue him. - Heart-warming story.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47If there is a medal for retrieving foolish yachtsmen,

0:00:47 > 0:00:48I hope you receive it.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Why are you bothering me?

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Those aboard the trawlers saw a purple fish before they sank.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58The yachtsman mentioned the same fish.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00The yachtsman said the fish was bad luck.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Do you know anything about this?

0:01:03 > 0:01:07I know many things about many fish. Could you be more specific?

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Ah... Very specific.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20There - the bad luck fish.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24- So it's a giant monster fish? - This drawing is actual size.

0:01:24 > 0:01:30Oh... According to the stories, the bad luck fish causes ships to sink.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Superstitious nonsense, of course.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36But the legend goes back to the very first recorded sinking

0:01:36 > 0:01:39in the Sargasso Sea, in 1521.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42The first recorded sinking was in 500 BC.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Tell the child he is wrong.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47According to a text in our possession,

0:01:47 > 0:01:52a Phoenician treasure ship carrying precious artefacts sank in 500 BC,

0:01:52 > 0:01:56in the exact same spot this latest yacht sank.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Very bad luck.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Mr Dolos, this fish is our only clue.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05If we can work out why ships sink in the Sargasso, we can save lives.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Yes. Wait here a moment while I...

0:02:09 > 0:02:11retrieve something.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Where's he going? Maybe he's coming back with more information.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17ENGINE STARTS

0:02:18 > 0:02:20ENGINE REVS

0:02:20 > 0:02:23He's not coming back with more information.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Nope.- He's gone after the treasure ship in the Sargasso Sea.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Yup.- Can I gloat lots if we have to rescue him?

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Absolutely.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34My family are explorers.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36We have been for generations.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39While others look up to the stars, we know there are an infinite number

0:02:39 > 0:02:42of things that shine in the darkness below.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44There are things lurking in the seas that long ago

0:02:44 > 0:02:46vanished into myth.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48My family are explorers

0:02:48 > 0:02:53and we explore...The Deep.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04'The report has the trawler sinking

0:03:04 > 0:03:06'at 22 degrees north latitude,

0:03:06 > 0:03:08'66 degrees west longitude.'

0:03:10 > 0:03:13I am at the location of the treasure ship.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Where are you?- 'Stalled. Our engines are clogged with seaweed.'

0:03:16 > 0:03:19I need a salvage crew, right now!

0:03:19 > 0:03:22'Our boat ain't going anywhere, Dolos.'

0:03:22 > 0:03:27Ridiculous! How could a boat be paralysed by seaweed?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29'Just bad luck, I guess.'

0:03:31 > 0:03:32ENGINE SPLUTTERS

0:03:41 > 0:03:44You... Go away!

0:03:44 > 0:03:45What?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47LOUD GURGLING

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Argh!

0:03:50 > 0:03:53What is...happening?!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01A water-activated distress beacon has just gone off.

0:04:01 > 0:04:07- Ha! Dolos. Where is he?- The exact coordinates of the sunken ship.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Ant, Fontaine? Go get him, and have fun.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Argh!

0:04:21 > 0:04:26Argh! Help! Somebody, help!

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Hello, Mr Dolos.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36- Somebody ELSE help!- Did the bad luck fish sink your boat?

0:04:36 > 0:04:40The only bad luck is you two being here!

0:04:40 > 0:04:42So you don't want us to rescue you?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Maybe...I do.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Argh!

0:04:49 > 0:04:52We'll take you aboard the Aronnax.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Underwater? No, that is unnatural and disturbing.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00- I will stay here.- Huh! Are you scared of going underwater?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02I am scared of nothing!

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Come on.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Since we already picking up one grumpy-looking passenger,

0:05:08 > 0:05:11- we may as well pick up another. As a sample.- Fontaine,

0:05:11 > 0:05:14are you sure you want to bring a bad luck fish on board?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Ant, nobody knows about this species.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- We should study it while we can. - But all the boats that have sunk?

0:05:19 > 0:05:22There's always a rational explanation.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26An annoying child who says something almost sensible.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28How rare.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29Ohhh!

0:05:58 > 0:05:59I will remain here,

0:05:59 > 0:06:03where I can quickly escape from this giant underwater metal deathtrap.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06'Ant, can you bring Dolos to the bridge immediately?

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- 'We need to talk.'- I have far more important things to do

0:06:10 > 0:06:12than socialise with your parents. Or you.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Especially you.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Hmm... Are you planning to steal our rover

0:06:18 > 0:06:20and looking for sunken Phoenician treasure?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23HE MIMICS VOICE

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Dad, this could take a while.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Drag him if you have too.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I want to know exactly how his boat sank.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32'I'll try. But I think he's scared.'

0:06:32 > 0:06:34'I'm scared of nothing!'

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Any debris or solid objects on sonar that Dolos might have collided with?

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Nothing but seaweed.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Bad luck fish, huh?

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Let's see if we can find what you really are in...

0:06:58 > 0:07:00this.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02D'oh! Ow! Oof!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Argh!

0:07:07 > 0:07:08Huh?

0:07:09 > 0:07:13Ha! That was just a case of poorly stacked books.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15And a bit of clumsiness on my part.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17But definitely not bad luck!

0:07:17 > 0:07:18Right, Geoffrey?

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Looks like the bad luck fish are taking an interest in the Aronnax.

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Will, they're not bad luck fish.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29That's absurd. They have all the luck of regular fish.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37DEEP RESONANT POP

0:07:37 > 0:07:38Ow!

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Ohhh...!

0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Did we hit something? - No.- I don't know what this is.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Let go! DOLOS GIBBERS

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Hey! Stop that!

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Dolos, what are you doing?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Getting out of this deathtrap!

0:08:03 > 0:08:07Whoa! But you don't know how to drive a rover!

0:08:07 > 0:08:08Do too!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13- We're still dropping.- Why? - I don't know.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Huh?

0:08:21 > 0:08:22No!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Argh!- Whoa!

0:08:29 > 0:08:32We're in freefall!

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Huh?

0:08:40 > 0:08:44See? Your submarine IS a giant underwater deathtrap!

0:08:44 > 0:08:45No!

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Mom, Dad? Are you OK?

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Talk to me! Is everyone all right?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Ugh...

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Uhhh...

0:09:00 > 0:09:01We're fine, Ant.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Ant, can you hear me?

0:09:03 > 0:09:05The purple fish, it's inside Geoffrey's tubes.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07It's inside the Aronnax!

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Bigger problems here, Fontaine. - But, Mom...

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Some systems are off-line. Navigation, heating...

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Lighting.- We have to get that fish off the Aronnax.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Fontaine, you can't possibly believe this was caused by a bad luck fish?

0:09:22 > 0:09:25I didn't, but then we brought one on board,

0:09:25 > 0:09:27and five minutes later we were stuck on the bottom of the sea.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30That seems like bad luck to me.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Look, we need to focus our energy on restarting the engines.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36You're right. You and I will work on the engines.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Fontaine, take care of that fish.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Not you too?- I'm not saying the fish is bad luck,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'm just saying I want it off our sub.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46We should be searching for treasure, not wasting our time...

0:09:46 > 0:09:49We're going to rescue my family. You can help or you can complain.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53- I choose to complain.- I choose to say "Be quiet - I'm concentrating."

0:09:53 > 0:09:56I choose not to take orders from children!

0:09:56 > 0:10:00Why do you keep doing this? You know you can't drive!

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Whoa!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Ow!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Just a coincidence, Fontaine.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23The ocean floor here is unstable.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Do you think it could collapse entirely?

0:10:29 > 0:10:33I think we should find a way to surface as quickly as possible.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Just stop it, Dolos.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Were going the wrong way!

0:10:37 > 0:10:39YOU are going the wrong way.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I am going MY way.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Look - the bad luck fish!

0:10:45 > 0:10:47You are trying to distract me.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49I only stop for Phoenician treasure.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Get back. Back, back! - Dolos, you have to listen to me.

0:10:53 > 0:10:59- Are you talking about treasure? - No!- Then, no, I don't.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Aaaargh!

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Oh! Argh!- Argh!

0:11:07 > 0:11:08Let me drive!

0:11:08 > 0:11:10You'll make us...

0:11:10 > 0:11:12crash!

0:11:13 > 0:11:15OK, restarting engines.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21That seems like a good sign.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23So, let's get out of here.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- We're not moving.- Our ballast still isn't venting.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34We need to release water.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36- We're too heavy. - The release pipe is blocked?

0:11:36 > 0:11:40It must be. Which means we need someone on the outside.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43The ocean floor will be blocking the movable door,

0:11:43 > 0:11:45but there are other ways. I'll head out.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yes!

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Heh-heh.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53I've got you now.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56Whoa!

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Oh...

0:11:59 > 0:12:00It's not bad luck.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Just a matter of time before I tripped over this mess.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Aw, poor Geoffrey.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18The bad luck fish sure has a crush on you.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Huh...

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Maybe we can help each other out.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Well, we're stuck.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Not good. This is not good.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- HE GASPS - The fish!

0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's true! It's all true!

0:12:33 > 0:12:34They are bad luck!

0:12:34 > 0:12:37- They are cursed!- Stop panicking.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Think of the treasure.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41It seems to outweigh your fear of being underwater.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43My fear of being stuck in here with you is even greater!

0:12:43 > 0:12:47'Ant, your father needs your help clearing the ballast release pipe.'

0:12:47 > 0:12:49We are stuck. You are on your own.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Ignore him. We'll get out of this.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54We'll see you soon. Rover out.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56There's dive gear. We can get outside and cut through the seaweed.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58We? Out there?

0:12:58 > 0:12:59Ha! I pass.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Fine. Me.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08No! The fish have caused us to flood!

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Just calm down.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12We need to flood the rover to open the canopy.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15I'm taking this laser. We can still talk through the masks.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Do we have to?

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Faster!- You could try being a little nicer.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30I tried that once.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33It was not profitable.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Whoa! You don't scare me.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36You're just a fish.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Dolos, try the engines.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42That button, there.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48Yes. Now, pull back on the throttle. Dolos? Pull back on the throttle!

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Dolos, come back!- 'Come back?

0:13:51 > 0:13:54'Or search for valuable Phoenician artefacts?

0:13:54 > 0:13:56'Such a difficult decision(!)

0:13:56 > 0:13:57'Bye-bye.'

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Dolos! No!

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Yes! Ha-ha!

0:14:05 > 0:14:09The solar ski tubes aren't as smooth, but they do the trick.

0:14:11 > 0:14:12Oh...

0:14:12 > 0:14:16- What is it? Talk to me, Will. - The pipe is bent and blocked.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18It may be brittle. Heat it before you bend it back.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20The air is coming up from below the seabed.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24- It looks like it could collapse at any moment.- 'Then work fast.'

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Will!

0:14:35 > 0:14:37The gas bubbles - they're methane!

0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Are you OK?- I'm fine.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Methane, Kaiko. Highly flammable.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43It makes sense.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Centuries of rotting seaweed...

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Methane forms under the sea floor...

0:14:48 > 0:14:50And as the bubbles rise they turn into foam, mostly air.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53And air can't support boats.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55We just discovered why all those ships went missing.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Will, I think we're about to join them!

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Stupid seaweed.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08How am I supposed to find a shipwreck in all of this?

0:15:15 > 0:15:18You're lost, Dolos. You need to come back for me.

0:15:21 > 0:15:22This is your fault!

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Go! Go away!

0:15:24 > 0:15:26'How is this my fault?'

0:15:26 > 0:15:28I was not talking to you, child.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'm turning on a beacon so you can come find me.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Ha! Unless you are a sunken Phoenician treasure ship,

0:15:35 > 0:15:40- I have no interest in where you are.- Ohhhh!

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Now, where am I?

0:15:50 > 0:15:52'It worked, Will.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54'I'm venting the ballast.

0:15:54 > 0:15:55'But the Aronnax isn't rising.'

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Kaiko, we're running out of time.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Gotcha!

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Bad luck fish, your luck just ran out.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21I am not lost. I am not lost.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23What? No...

0:16:23 > 0:16:25That's impossible!

0:16:25 > 0:16:27I'm going around in circles!

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Argh! You! You did this!

0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Go away! Go! - 'You can't blame the fish, Dolos.'

0:16:35 > 0:16:38This isn't bad luck. You chose to look for the treasure.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41You chose to take the rover. And you chose to abandon me.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Now you're lost and you've got no-one to blame but yourself.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46SONAR BEEPS

0:16:52 > 0:16:56There's no such thing as bad luck. You just made a bad choice.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Huh? Aaagh!

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Hello, Mr Dolos.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07You came back for me!

0:17:07 > 0:17:09And now I'm making a choice to...

0:17:10 > 0:17:12..let you drive.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Mm. Now you made a good choice.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16And good things will happen.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19- We'll find the treasure? - That's not what I meant.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21You will stop talking?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24OK, the ballast is empty.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27I'm going to try the engines again.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29RUMBLING ROAR

0:17:30 > 0:17:32It's no good. I'm giving the engines everything,

0:17:32 > 0:17:34but the ship won't budge.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38We've done everything we can, Kaiko. We may have to abandon the Aronnax.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Is this...as bad as it looks?

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Very bad. There's no treasure down here at all.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52The Aronnax is stuck in the ground, and the gas underneath is methane.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54We're sitting on a bomb here, Ant.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55Hm...

0:17:55 > 0:18:00Dad? You know you have reservations about some of my crazier ideas?

0:18:00 > 0:18:01This one, you're going to hate.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04I hate it already and I haven't even heard it.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07The methane bubbles form below the surface, right?

0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Uh-huh...- If we wait until a really big one forms...

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Like that one?

0:18:12 > 0:18:13Yes, perfect!

0:18:13 > 0:18:15That will temporarily deplete the methane underneath.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19- And?- This then we ignite what's left.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21OK, I've heard it now and, yes, I hate it.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Did you say ignite?

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Ant is right. It will loosen the silt and free the Aronnax.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Your plan for our freedom is a massive explosion?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31I did say no-one would like my plan.

0:18:31 > 0:18:35Mom, I ejected the bad luck fish out of the solar ski tubes.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Our bad luck is gone!- We could fall through the seabed at any second,

0:18:38 > 0:18:41and Ant is planning to save us by blowing us up.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42OK, so maybe not.

0:18:45 > 0:18:49Ant, it's time. Kaiko, fire up the engines.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51DEEP ROARING

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Igniting the methane in three...

0:18:59 > 0:19:01..two...

0:19:02 > 0:19:04..one.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10HUGE EXPLOSION

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Hold on!

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Hang on, Fontaine.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30Yes!

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Way to not explode, Mom!

0:19:32 > 0:19:34WHOOPING AND LAUGHTER

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Everyone back on board.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Let's get out of here.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44I just want to point out that we totally didn't get blown up.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47I think it's safe to say there's no such thing as the bad luck fish.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49We know why the ships sink now.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51We can tell all vessels to avoid this area.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55And I'm guessing those purple fish thrive in methane-rich water.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Hey, Fontaine, since I stopped being superstitious and started

0:19:58 > 0:20:01making better decisions, I've had nothing but good luck.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03I even made a new friend.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Oh... Don't touch me.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I wasted my time coming here.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09There is no treasure.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13You're wrong. We found the best kind of treasure there is - friendship.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Ugh! I feel sick!

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Oh, that's OK. I'll look after you, good buddy.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20This has to stop!
